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 Hopin´ 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 ta peel the bitch off my back I know it looks like I´m insane Take a closer look I´m not to blame No
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 gettin´ clearer Your train of thought has cut me off again Better tame that boy ´cause he´s a wild one Better tame that boy for he´s a man Sweetheart don´t make me laugh You´s gettin´ too big for your pants And I´s think maybe you should Cut out while you can You can use you 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 hangin´ 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
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´s 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´s got a locomotive Got ta peel the bitch off my back I know it looks like I´m insane Take a closer look I´m not to blame No
Affection is a blessing Can you find it in your sordid heart I tried to keep this thing ta-gether 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
´Cause my baby´s got a locomotive My baby´s gone off the track My baby´s got a locomotive Got ta peel the bitch off my back I know it looks like I´m insane Take a closer look I´m not to blame
Yeah If love is blind I guess I´ll buy myself a cane
