Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness Yeah, I´ll find a way to cure the pain If I said that you´re my friend and our love would never end How long before I had your trust again?
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside Hoping that you´d find your own way in But how can I protect you, or try not to neglect you When you won´t take the love I have to give?
I bought me an illusion an´ I put it on the wall I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all But, oh, the taste is never so sweet as what you´d believe it is Well I guess it never is It´s these prejudiced illusions That pump the blood to the heart of the biz
You know, I never thought that it could take so long You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me, but I feel as though you raped me ´Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs So now I´ve closed the door to keep the cold outside Seems, somehow, I´ve found the will to live But how can I forget you, or try not to reject you When we both know it takes time to forgive?
Sweetness is a virtue And you lost your virtue long ago You know I´d like to hurt you But my conscience always tells me "no" You could sell your body on the street To anyone whom you might meet Who´d love to try and get inside
And bust your innocence open wide
´Cause my baby´s got a locomotive My baby´s gone off the track My baby´s got a locomotive Got to peel the bitch off my back I know it looks like I´m insane Take a closer look, I´m not to blame No
[Solo 1]
Gonna have some fun with my frustration Gonna watch the big screen in my head I´d rather take a detour ´Cause this road ain´t getting clearer Your train of thought has cut me off again "Better tame that boy, ´cause he´s a wild one
Better tame that boy ´fore he´s a man" Sweetheart, don´t make me laugh You´s getting too big for your pants And I think maybe you should cut out, while you can
You can use your illusion, let it take you where it may We live and learn, and then, sometimes, it´s best to walk away Me, I´m just here hanging on, it´s my only place to stay At least for now, anyway I´ve worked too hard for my illusions just to throw them all away
[Solo 2]
I´m taking time for quiet consolation In passing by this love that´s passed away I know it´s never easy, so why should you believe me When I´ve always got so many things to say? Calling off the dogs, a simple choice is made ´Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged You know I tried to wake you I mean how long could it take you To open up your eyes and turn the page?
Kindness is a treasure And it´s one, towards me, you´ve seldom shown So, I´ll say it, for good measure, to all the ones like you, I´ve known; Ya know I´d like to shave your head And all my friends could paint it red ´Cause love to me is a two way street, an´ all I really want is peace
But my baby´s got a locomotive My baby´s gone off the track My baby got a locomotive Got to peel the bitch off my back I know it looks like I´m insane Take a closer look, I´m not to blame No
[Solo 3]
Affection is a blessing, can you find it in your sordid heart? I tried to keep this thing together But the tremor tore my pad apart Yeah, I know, it´s hard to face When all we´ve worked for´s gone to waste But you´re such a stupid woman and I´m such a stupid man
But love, like time, ´s got its own plans
Yeah If love is blind, I guess I´ll buy myself a cane...
