The Black Hat

I hold you, I touch you, In a maze can't find my way, I think you, I drink you, I'm being served you on a tray, You see girl, That's what I go through every day, Is this the way it should feel?

Why can't you see, That I'm still mad about you, Even though I've found out about you, I'll always stay forever true, And in my heart I will forgive you, I've got so much love to give you...

I couldn't figure why You couldn't give me what everybody needs, I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down, My baby I find out everybody knows, That you've been using me, I'm surprised you Let me stay around you, One day I'm gonna lift the cover, And look inside your heart, We gotta level before we go, And tear this love apart..

Well, woke up this morning, with a wine glass in my hand Whose wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine? Must've been a dream, I don't believe where I've been. Come on... let's do it again!!

Wait a minute, baby. Stay with me awhile, Said you'd give me light, But you never told me about the fire. Drowning in the sea of love, Where everyone would love to drown, But now it's gone It doesn't matter what for, When you build your house, Then call me home

In the white room with black curtains near the station, Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings, Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes, Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines...

Captain Fantastic, raised and regimented, hardly a hero. Just someone his mother might know, Very clearly a case for Corn Flakes and classics, "Two teas both with sugar please," In the back of an alley...

Listen to me lady, So it's understood, This runnin' round life, Ain't doing me no good I get tired, Get so tired of paying dues, But it seems there ain't no way around it, No end to runnin' blue..

It's a god-awful small affair, To the girl with the mousy hair, But her mummy is yelling, "No!" And her daddy has told her to go, But her friend is nowhere to be seen, Now she walks through her sunken dream, To the seat with the clearest view, And she's hooked to the silver screen...

Desperado. Why don't you come to your senses, Been out ridin' fences, for so long now Oh, you're a hard one, But I know that you've got your reasons, These things that are pleasin' you, Can hurt you somehow

We hear you're leaving, that's okay, I thought our little wild time had just begun, I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run, But if you have a change of heart ....

Gather round people I just dreamt of this song, About all the World gettin' along. Human rights, no shallow graves, Politician's speak the truth, no one's got AIDS. I look at a Muslim embracing a Jew, Everyone's eating everyone's food. Free from diseases, ain't no Third World, Love is the message, love is the word.

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off. Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes. As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time, I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right.

Seen the lights go out Broadway, I saw the Empire State laid low, And life went on beyond the Palisades, They all bought Cadillacs And left there long ago...

Warm winds blowin', Heat and blue sky, and a road that goes forever....

I am a lineman for the county, And I drive the main road, Searchin' in the sun for another overload, I hear you singin' in the wire, I can hear you through the whine...

The sun had been up for a couple of hours, Covered the ground with a layer of gold. Spirits were high and the raining had stopped, The larder was low, But boy that wasn't all. Eleventh Earl of Mar Couldn't get them very far. Daddy! Oh Daddy, You Promised.

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade, Laying everybody low with a love song that he made, Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade. Says something like you and me babe how about it?

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky, Stormy weather, Since my girl and I ain't together, Keeps rainin' all of the time...

I'll light the fire, you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today. Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you. Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me...

Money, get away. Get a good job with more pay and you're okay. Money, it's a gas. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash. New car, caviar, four star daydream Think I'll buy me a football team

Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs Of every head he's had the pleasure to know. And all the people that come and go Stop and say "Hello"...

Stood still on a highway, I saw a woman, by the side of the road, with a face that I knew like my own...

When no one else can understand me, when everything I thing I do is wrong, you give home and consolation, you give strength to carry on....

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight. The zero-hour - 9 am. And Im gonna be high as a kite by then.
