See the girls coughing, looking underfed
When they go to sleep, they dream of being dead
I saw you in the corner, with a butcher's knife
Your boyfriend running round, looking for a midwife

Everyone's got the same disease, it's alright
Everybody lives down on their knees, it's alright

Bumped into a hunchback abuser
Said he made a million working on a cruiser
Do what he want and he don't get caught
He's looking at the moon but I'm an astronaut

Everyone looks when they see a crash, it's alright
Everybody needs just a little cash, it's alright

Evening daybreak, switchblade stomach ache
Gonna meet a man with a rattlesnake handshake
Walk around like I'm looking for an upgrade
Slipping through town like a penny in the arcade

Hear the engine running as the tour bus pulls away
The sadness of the road will be the death of me one day
I'm sick and tired of my guitar and the same old songs again
And so I write a new one, that's the nature of the game

And when the party's over, I've got nowhere to run
The road goes on forever, even when we're dead and gone

Drinking in a hotel room, I hate what I've become
I'm turning back to nothing, all my dreams have come undone
The spotlight drew me over, now it's burning me away
So I'm looking for the real me, in some shadow when I play

And when the party's over, I've got nowhere to run
The road goes on forever, even when we're dead and gone

But my love, she's so fine,
She gives me the sunshine after the rain

My love, you're so fine,
You give me sunshine
When the storm is over
You give me the sunshine
My love, you're so fine,
You make my sun shine
When the storm is over
You give me the sunshine after the rain

Dead man, crawling out of his crater
Sucking on the air from his ventilator
Watch out little girl you're just a beginner
He wears outside his face the smile of a winner

Drags his woman around by the hair
It turns her on, she don't wanna be square
Standing on top of the family mountain
Drinking lemonade from the magical fountain

Holiday trips in a Volkswagen camper
Children locked into an old picnic hamper
Let them loose to play in a sandpit
Leave them there 'cause they take us for granted

Man is an ape, and woman a martyr
It's not what you do when you do it, it's what you do after
I went down to the zoo and I looked in the cages
Then I walked on home past the office, collected my wages

Beautiful Lady, I love you so
You know I need you, please don't go
Just like a child, I'm running wild
I'd walk on water for your smile

I'd walk across the sea
To get you close to me

This life we're living, it can break your heart
But all these contradictions won't pull us apart
Don't be afraid, I'm gonna stay
Felt like the end, but it was just the start

You think you know me inside out
Think you know what I'm all about
Here comes a slightly rude surprise

While you were tryin' to control
'N' trying to grab my soul
I blinked and saw right through ya

I'm spellin' out all of my rules
Keepin' charge of all my tools
I'm decidin' who gets inside

When someone cares it's nice to know
'Til that care turns to runnin' the show
And then I'll turn on ya

There is a secret place it's deep inside my pocket
Never try tellin' me who fits inside my pocket

I know what I have to find
And I gotta whole lot of time
Before I really reach my prize

Gotta desire to mess around
It'd be cool just to fool around
Maybe we'll mess togetha

There is a secret place it's deep inside my pocket
Never try tellin' me who fits inside my pocket

Every time I walk you home
You say you just want to be alone
Mary Anne, why can't you see
That you were born to marry me

Take my love, It's all I am
See, I'm determined to be your man
Mary Anne

I wanna pour you into my empty shell
Give you secrets you'll never tell
As the day breaks over our caravan
And you lie beside me like a lamb
Mary Anne

I can't survive without you here
Every second seems like a year
I ain't got nothing, I can't pretend
Take my love, It's all I am
Mary Anne

Mary Anne

The King's been in his bedroom for weeks
In exile from the world, he never speaks
The Queen is in the counting house, her fingers in the till
There's something happening to the Castle on the Hill

The jester's telling jokes to everyone
Says "Now he's gone, well ain't it fun"
There's whispers in the courtroom, "Is he crazy, is he ill?"
Nobody has an answer, but they keep on asking still

And a friend of mine, one of the few
Has locked himself away like Howard Hughes
They're trying to replace him but they know they never will
It ain't the same without him, on the Castle on the Hill

There's a wind of madness in the air
Since he's gone nobody seems to care
The court is disillusioned, everything is up for sale
And the Castle on the Hill is like a boat without a sail

Can't believe the things I said and did
Can't hold back but now I'm glad I did
Feel so perfect and I feel so clean
Days like these are few and far between

'Cause I got it all, got it in my head
And everything is gonna be alright
I see angels now where there was fear and fright
And everything is gonna be alright

Could this be something trustworthy
Open mind filled with feel good things
Could this be the meaning of it all
I was hunched but now I'm ten feet tall

Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright

Well the night, it ends so slowly
As the last small fires go out
One by one on the hillsides
With the people hanging out
We were wrapped in just a blanket
Must've been a pretty sight
As we followed up the mountain
To sleep under the light

I was shivering and shaking
In my shoes
When The Dawn Patrol it took me
And shook away my blues

Well you know that funny feeling
You get sometimes, now and then
When you feel like you can't make it
And you want to start again
When I get that funny feeling
It's with you I wanna be
In the hours before daylight
Would you be my company

I've been waiting round some time
Just to live a life that's mine
I've been walking round this town
When there's no one else around
You can hear it everywhere
This is our eternal prayer
Let it go, Ride the wind
Let it go, Ride the wind

You'll see me, I'll come and see you
Always finding something to do
Love is needing, I'm needing love
Got to know that there is enough
We've been working far too late
Carrying this heavy load
Let it go, Ride the wind
Let it go, Ride the wind

Behind this wall
The sun never shines its rays down on me
Don't blame the man who's hunted and trapped
And longs to be free
Every day the Good Lord sends
I plan my sweet revenge
This place won't get me down
Because I'm gonna burn it down

Your own idea of freedom might be to walk in the sun
And someone else, well they might tell you, loving someone
There's a million kind of doors
To go with all the different laws
To lock you out and keep you in
But never stop you burnin'

Follow me down to the Starlight Motel
While everyone's sleeping tonight
Don't be afraid, I know what's on your mind
I'm gonna make it alright

Well I know it's cold and I know it's late
But our life is short, darling I can't wait

Follow my footsteps and silently step
Out to the road in the moonlight
The stars in the sky are all laid out for us
They'll watch over our love tonight

Well I know it's cold and I know it's late
But our life is short, darling I can't wait

Won't you join me for this dance
It may be our only chance
Baby don't say no tonight
There's times I believe that we'll never return

But the moon always has to start falling
Blankets protect you from the cold before dawn
But they can't protect you from the morning
