Girl, you've got those hands that heal Help me get in touch with what I feel 'Cause you understand and you sympathize And you know me best, it's no surprise When you're with me there's a light And I can see my way When you speak to me it's a song And I know what to say Girl, you've got those eyes that see Help me find the good that's inside me 'Cause you're the only one who really know How the feeling comes and why it goes When you're with me there's a light And I can see my way When you speak to me it's a song And I know what to say When you're with me there's a light And I can see my way When you speak to me it's a song And I know what to say When you listen there's a hope And I know I'm being heard When you smile at me And I know that we don't have to speak a word When you're with me there's a light And I can see my way When you speak to me it's a song And I know what to say
I'm pulling my questions from my shelf I'm asking forgiveness I'm asking about it by myself And I want you to know this And I want you to know this You're rifling through a bunch of toys That were handed down to me Just take all the ones you want and then Give the rest to my family I'm gonna go back to school today But I'm dropping myself off I'm throwing the childhood scenes away Through ripping myself off I'm done ripping myself off Well, I'm child and man and child again The toy broken boy soldier I'm child and man and child again The boy never gets older The boy never gets older The boy never gets older The boy never gets older The boy never gets older Never gets older The boy broken toy soldier The boy, the boy
I've got a rabbit, it likes to hop I've got a girl and she likes to shop The other foot looks like it won't drop I had an uncle and he got shot Is this greeting the type that's meant for me? Are you part of this khakistocracy? This ringing in my ears won't stop I've got a red Japanese tea-pot I've got a pen but I lost the top I've got so many things you haven't got This fellow's craft is just not for sharing He's not an intimate secretary I've got a rabbit, it likes to hop I've got a girl and she likes to shop The other foot looks like it won't drop I had an uncle but he got shot Venerable obscurist malarkey A doulocracy ecclesiarchy Our fellow's craft is just not for sharing He's not an intimate secretary The exarchy's inspector inquisitor I dare mock an illustrious master Are you part of this khakistocracy? Is this greeting the type that's meant for me?
You and me forever, we belong together And we'll always endeavor, through out any type of weather You want everything to be just like The stories that you read, but never write You've gotta learn to live and live and learn You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn Or you'll get burned You wrote our names down on the sidewalk But the rain came and washed them off So we should write them again on wet cement So people a long time from now will know what we meant You want every morning to be just like The stories that you read, but never write You've gotta learn to live and live and learn, oh You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn I'm only concerned I'm adding something new to the mixture So there's a different hue to your picture A different ending to this fairytale And no sunset into which we sail You want everything to be just like The stories that you read, but you can't write You've gotta learn to live and live and learn, oh You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn Or you'll get burned
My baby's on the level I try to read her mind She's on the straight and narrow I'm guessin' all the time But I can't see the road If I'm lookin' at the signs I'm carryin' a load And steppin' out of line My baby's on the level (My baby's on the level) I try to read her mind (I try to read her mind) She's on the straight and narrow (She's on the straight and narrow) I'm guessin' all the time (And I'm guessin' all the time) Oh, well, how can I see the road? (How can I see the road?) If I'm lookin' at the signs (If I'm lookin' at the signs) I'm carryin' a load (I'm carryin' a load) And steppin' out of line
Down upon your hands and knees Underneath the poplar trees Digging through the sticks and stones Looking for store bought bones Waiting on the rising sun Clutching at your holstered gun Praying on a shooting star That I can be wherever you are Looking through a telescope Maybe there's a sign of hope Leaving everything behind Stirring a store bought mind Sitting at the edge of the seat Wishing you were here by me Sifting through the mud and the bricks Looking for a store bought fix You can't buy what you can't find What you can't buy, what you find What you can't buy, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can Buy what you find, what you can't find, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can
Yellow sun is shining in the afternoon I'd really like to tell you, but I feel it's too soon My actions are dictated by the phase of the moon The phase of the moon The sun, it isn't hiding when it sets on you It's not a coward like me and I know that it's true Waiting for the darkness now is all I can do It's all I can do And if the sun should follow us into your room Well, the courage will be robbed from me to tell you the truth But selling some of the only thing that's shining on you That's shining on you You're making me hungry But what's really funny, is it's not sunny anymore And when I finally told you when the sun has gone You're laughing 'cause I thought I was the only one And the only thing that's left for me is the rising sun The rising sun You're making me hungry, you're making me hungry But what's really funny, is it's not sunny anymore You're making me hungry, you're making me hungry But what's really funny, is it's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore, it's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore, it's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore, it's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore, it's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore, it's not sunny anymore It's not sunny anymore
Can we call it a day? Now would that be okay? Can we just go our own separate ways? 'Cos I'm cold and I'm wet and I'm willing to bet That you constructed this maze I stumble around, try to follow the sound Then something takes hold of my hand If we cause such a mess and I'd venture to guess That you concocted this plan Don't know what to do 'cos it's always been you Who helps me to make up my mind But I'll stake my life and I swear by this knife That it's all by your design Enough has been said, it goes 'round in my head Until I break down and cry I wouldn't be surprised if that looks in your eyes Was your way of saying goodbye Can we call it a day? Now would that be okay? Can we just go our own separate ways? 'Cos I'm cold and I'm wet and I'm willing to bet That you constructed this maze You concocted this plan Don't know what to do 'cos it's always been you Who helps me to make up my mind But I stake my life and I'll swear by this knife That it's all by your design Yeah, it's all by your design
When I was surrounded by the world You were the only one who came And you were the only one astounded, which kept me grounded As the other girls thrashed my very name Then I looked over Just in time to see her smiling back at me And saying everything's okay As long as you're inside my blue veins, your blue veins Yeah, and the feeling that you gave me No matter what I do or where I go It always will remain and those who would enslave me To get to me must get past you and will have no luck 'Cause you'll protect me from all pain, it's true, they'll have no luck The most beautiful, yeah, the most beautiful thing 'Cause anything else can't compare Must be the blood that's running through your blue veins, your blue veins Your blue veins And I know you won't deceive me Like the rest and there's nothing you need to explain You're always the first one to believe me When I said to you girl, I think it's gonna rain But I could be wrong Yeah but all of these things, all these things They're all truly nice but ain't nothing Ain't nothing compared to the love That's running through your little blue veins, your blue veins
