Find yourself a girl, and settle down
Live a simple life, in a quiet town

Steady, as she goes
Steady, as she goes
So steady, that she goes

Your friends have shown a kink in the single life
You've had to much to think, now you need a wife

Steady, as she goes
So steady, that she goes
Well here we go again
You found yourself a friend
That knows you well
But no matter what you do
You always feel as though you tripped and fell
So steady, that she goes

When you have completed what you thought you had to do
And your blood's depleted to the point of stable glue
Then you'll get along
Then you'll get along

Steady, as she goes
So steady, that she goes
Well here we go again
You found yourself a friend
That knows you well
But no matter what you do
You always feel as though you tripped and fell
So steady, that she goes
Steady, that she goes

Settle for a world, neither up or down
Sell it to the crowd that has gathered around
Settle for a girl, neither up or down
Sell it to the crowd that has gathered around

So steady, that she goes
Steady, that she goes
Steady, that she goes
So steady, that she goes
Steady, that she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady, that she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady, that she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady, that she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady, that she goes

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

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho

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 down questions from the shelf
I'm asking forgiveness
I ain't asking nobody but myself
And I want you to know this
And I want you to know this

You rightfully threw a box of toys
That were handed down to me
Just take out the ones you brought 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 child seat away
I'm through ripping myself off
I'm done ripping myself off

I'm child and man and child again
A toy broken boy soldier
I'm child and man then 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 ???

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

Then on rubble of ???? malarchy
Down with luck we'll see Ecclesiarchy
Our fellow's craft is just not for sharing
He's not an intimate secretary!

The Ex-? Inspector Inquisitor
The Demockery ??? streets master
Are you part of this kakistocracy?
Is this greeting the type that's meant for me?

. . .


You and me forever
We belong together
And we'll always endeavor
Through 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

We 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
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
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 guessing all the time

But I can't see the road
If I'm looking at the signs
I'm carrying a load
And stepping out of line

My baby's on the level
And I try to read her mind
She's on the straight and narrow
And I'm guessing all the time

Oh well how can I see the road
If I'm looking at the signs
I'm carrying a load
And stepping out of line

. . .


Get up on 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

Cause I'm cold and I'm wet
And I'm willing to bet
That you constructed this maze

I stumble around
Trying to follow the sound
Then something takes hold of my hand

If you've caused such a mess
And I'd venture to guess
That you concocted this plan

And I don't know what to do
Cause it's always with you
Who helped me to make up my mind

But I'll stake my life
And I'll swear by this knife
That it's all by your design

Enough has been said
It goes around in my head
Until I break down and cry

I wouldn't be surprised
If that look 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
Cause I'm cold and I'm wet
And I'm willing to bet
That you constructed this maze

My hand

You concocted this plan

I don't know what to do
Cause it's always been you
Who helped me to make up my mind

But I'll 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 OK
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

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
