Альбом Big Head Todd and the Monsters

Been six days since your last hello
Empty space here, that's your pillow
It's a black night and the moon is yellow
Keep that shade high and the music mellow

Julianna I want you now
You're the woman who showed me how
To be a man and make up my mind
Julianna I'm wasting time
Julianna why won't you believe?
I'll be the lover you want me to be
You are the moon and the sun and the sea
Julianna don't set me free

I've been crazy, hang this head low
Touch my heart there, feels like Brillo
Think I don't care, except for my, well, you know
Shine your light on this weeping willow

Julianna I want you now
You're the woman who showed me how
To be a man and make up my mind
Julianna I'm wasting time
Julianna why won't you believe?
I'll be the lover you want me to be
You are the moon and the sun and the sea
Julianna don't set me free

Dance under the missile glow, over the eastern sea
Gunshot by the side of the road - highway scenery
Revolution got no goals, except keepin' the family together
Dang chains isn't sweet on you
Freedom fighter, don't let 'em get you alive
You won't change a damn thing that is true
Freedom fighter, keep your head on tonight
Take me on with you
Take me along with you tonight
She came late for the tank parade with her emancipation song
She plugged in a guitar and played, and sang of Spanish bombs
Jackknifed inside and prayed, the world has come undone!
Yeah, whatever...
Damn chains look good on you
Chorus
Sagittarius rising low, may he follow you
Shine on you and take you home, over the eastern sea

Nine O'clock turn it on, turn it on and your spellbound
It's a t.v. movie and it isn't a letdown
Now "The Killer" is on, and they're nearing the takedown
Did you see her shoot one man while she was funning another?
What she conveniently reveals, as she is running for cover?
Now the killer is on the town, the avenger is at the shutters! Chorus
Eleven O'clock and the news is making me sorry
There's a killer over there, but you don't have to worry
- about all the bad things going down
Going down in a hurry
Chorus
She is taking the weight of the world and making it hollow
She touched my hand and made me a knight in her Harlem
She wants me to tell her
I mean to be silent
I see you smile half innocent
Add seduction, some blood, and then you don't feel anything
(you can't feel everything) - except hysteria

She takes my hand
Takes it around her as she listens in her car
Misunderstands as her eyes fall like a star,
She says she needs just a little more.

It's almost dawn and the talk is getting slow
Time to cut through the lock on the door
You could have got away, but you just had to steal some more

"I want to leave you again and again, but I don't want to leave you again"
"I want to leave you again and again, but I don't want to leave you again"

Something I said
Must have hit her like a flashing red light
Give her the reason to fly on me
She's dancing with the girls tonight
Three A.M. and she wraps herself around me. She says,

"I want to leave you again and again, but I don't want to leave you again."
"I want to leave you again and again, but I don't want to leave you again."

I keep wishing you'd fly away
How can you hold yourself down?
You carry on like this every other day
You're turning into the sound

You've got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on your mind
You tell me everything is fine - just fine
On a runaway train tonight

You say "I love you in another way,"
You say you're leaving this town
You drive me up to your hideaway, as you were burning it down

You've got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on your mind
Tell you everything is fine - just fine
On a runaway train tonight

I need a reason to keep away, or get up off my back
I can't stop it or turn away till I run out of track

I got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on my mind
I'll tell you everything is fine - just fine
On a runaway train tonight
On a runaway train tonight
On a runaway train tonight (On a runaway)
On a runaway train tonight

Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may your drifting take you far

It's the same with everyone
Cut off chasing the western sun
I took a chance to make it better
Ended up drowning in a wishing well
I ain't likely to see you again
But God knows I still think about you now

Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may your drifting take you far

She wasn't able to save the story
So we skidded out in a melted glory
Pushing off for the promised land
Ended up stranded on the desert sand
Hey, think on you, well...
The hell about it is the someone in your room

Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may your drifting take you far

Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may your drifting take you far

Ended up drowning in a wishing well
Ended up drowning in a wishing well

Ended up drowning in a wishing well

I'm changing now the wind is at my back
And I'm so ready to go
And I cannot sleep tonight for tomorrow
Ain't gonna get to you tonight
Like a wild jet plane you rise
Forgiven

See that your time wasn't a waste
Don't you let her leave you tonight,
You know she can't be sorry for affectionate lies
She's so sweet for her crimes
Like a wild jet plane, she flies
Forgiven

Now you'll never catch me looking back,
Though I've still a long way to go
Don't you count on me tonight
You need to find your own way home tonight
Like a sinking ship, dive
Like a wild jet plane arising
Forgiven

I once knew a woman, she put a curse on me
That eventually came true
She was a head on wreck on a mystic ride (you know the kind)
Amongst the visions and the ruins

Yeah, she was my unsuspecting secret mission

Leftover passion and desire
They only deepen the wound
But you must admit that the pain is sweet
Makes you howl at the moon

I guess you are my unsuspecting secret mission
Yes, you are my unsuspecting secret mission

Every eleven days or so
I get a message from you
Invisible ink on invisible paper
But I can smell her perfume

I guess I ain't your unsuspecting secret mission
You know you aren't my unsuspecting secret mission

Turning like a hurricane
Sleep inside this junkyard train
It's cold and I'm loosing my covers
She won't take me any further south, than Gary Indiana (blues),
I never learned the easy out
Cracklin' chain and silver spoon
I shot a man for stealing food
He got caught with his gun on the table
Mother quit your cryin' now
Think of the sisters and brothers who never learned the easy out
Dancing to the midnight moon
Snowflake in my whisky too
Hear a knock on the door and some screaming
The eviction man is in town
Here's to the sisters and brothers, who never learned the easy out

Just a little bit gunshy
With a criminal mind
She came in like an animal
She left like an innocent child

Now I'm stranded on empty
Across nation lines
Clear night like a rosary
Against a dashboard light

Driving to you, Riviera
How long can you run?

Now the moon and the pavement
Are like noon day light
Smokestacks and the gambling signs
Along the black horizon line

I once had a sister like you
Lost on the other side
You run because you have to
From the firing lines

Shot into you, Riviera
How long can you run?
How long can you run?

Ain't it strange how the ones you steal
They keep you alive
How she could make you feel
Like you never been high?
I can't remember what was real
Like a killer in denial
Careful to conceal every last line

Leading to you, Riviera
Deliver to you, the Riviera
How long can you run?
How long can you run?
How long can you run?

You can't try to keep what you've given away
Oh, be still
Watch them, still, let them fall down
You're wasting your life trying to rescue the day
All your steel, iron will won't break this frozen ground
I know you're needing the time
Love has something for you let yourself take it
Oh my lady, tonight I want to sail to the moon and we're gonna make it
But I'm gonna need your help
You're head's somewhere else,
but you're wanting to stay
Helplessness, wordlessness, why do you let yourself worry this way?
So let there be shelter to make some mistakes
I will, you will, never control what we create
Chorus
But I'm gonna need your help
I'll tiller the soil if you tend to the bloom
Heaven flower, sun shower, let the earth move
We'll light up the world if you give us the room
Off that dress and smile to set the children of the world to rest
Chorus
