"A" Road lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Judy Judy valentine
Couldn't walk a straight white line
She brought a lizard home to stay
He hissed and licked her every day

The "A" road is an old road
The "A" road is a long road
The "A" road is an old road
The "A" road is an old road

Judy Judy friend of mine
Sweet and crazy concubine
She'd love to talk but she ain't got time
She's a hot pink minx, she's a Frankenstein

The "A" road is an old road
The "A" road is a long road
The "A" road is an old road
The "A" road is an old road
[3x]

Because I Can lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Here I am
In a strange new world
Someplace
somewhere in time

I found my place
Where the high turns blue
And I walked
right out of my mind

Because I wanna
Because I can
Because I wanna
Because I can

Here I am
And I think I'll stay
Until I
Fly out over the wire

Clean and clear
I think I
Like it here
I delight in the light of my fire

Because I wanna
Because I can
Because I wanna
Because I can

Life is a lonely lesson
Life is a lonely lesson
Life is a lonely lesson
Life is a lonely lesson
Life is a lonely lesson
Life is a lonely lesson
Life is a lonely lesson
Life

Because I wanna
Because I can
Because I wanna
Because I can
Because I wanna
Because I can
Because I wanna
Because I can

True To This lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I gave away my trampoline
My water skis
And slot machine
I'm through with this
I'm through with this

I gave away my velvet dress
My high heeled shoes
And I couldn't care less
I'm through with this
Through with this

I gave away my highschool ring
My lava lamp
And everything
I'm through with this
Through with this

I traded my records
I traded my car
For a motor home
To the wino at the corner of the bar
I'm through with this
I'm through with this

Stay away from cannon balls
Always love the animals
Be true to this
Be true to this

When you sleep
Be sure to dream
Believe in every Halloween
Be true to this
Be true to this

I believe in what you do
Not what you say
I love you and
I'm true to this

Ghost Riders In The Sky lyrics - Concrete Blonde

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day,
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
Ploughin' through the ranging sky
And up a cloudy draw.

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel.
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath, they could feel,
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
For he saw the riders comin' hard
And he heard their mournful cry.
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
Ghost riders in the sky.

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts were soaked
With sweat.
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught them yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky,
On horses snortin' fire
As they ride on, hear their cry.
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
Ghost riders in the sky.
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
Ghost riders in the sky.

Te riders loped on by him and he heard one call his name.
"If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range,
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch this devil's herd
Across these endless skies."
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
Ghost riders in the sky.
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
Ghost riders in the sky.

Snakes lyrics - Concrete blonde

Well now I think I make a right
If I remember yes, I think maybe tonight
I may do better when the moon is up and bright
Where I last saw you; what a sight, what a sight
(ahhh, ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ah
shed your skin, I'm coming, shed your skin)

Between the canyon and the sky
where you can't hide, you can't hide
the desert sky has a million eyes
and the stars are on my side
(ahhh, ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ah
shed your sky, I'm coming)

I think I feel you in the sand
Not far away; tiny tremor of the land
I lay and wait
I'll see your eyes, your big white eyes
But they won't see me
But you and I will meet tonight
Under a Joshua tree
(ahhh, ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ah
shed your sky, I..... shed your skin, shed your sky, ayaya...)

"Group Therapy" (2002)

Roxy lyrics - Concrete Blonde

All the young dudes
Feathered and possessed
A sparkling sequined mess
So special and so eloquent, Heaven sent

What I meant to say is
Of all the sounds I hear
With my humble human ear
None are as delicious or nutritious

Oh Roxy, you're my Maggie May
More beautiful tonight
Than you ever were back in the day
Oh Roxy, your golden boys
Make a beautiful noise after all these years
You still bring tears to my eyes

Sweeter sounds
From space were never heard
Or a perfect turn of word
Like a whirlwind, you blow in again and all the songs

Have been in my head and heart for so long
It's like listening to a kiss
Oh, you'll never know just
How very much we missed you, dearest

Oh Roxy, you're my Maggie May
More beautiful tonight
Than you ever were back in the day
Oh Roxy, your golden boys
Make a beautiful noise after all these years
You still bring tears to my eyes

Oh Roxy, you're my Maggie May
More beautiful tonight
Than you ever were back in the day
Oh Roxy, your golden boys
Make a beautiful noise after all these years
You still bring tears to my eyes

Oh Roxy, you're my Maggie May
More beautiful tonight
Than you ever were back in the day
Oh Roxy, your golden boys
Make a beautiful noise after all these years
You still bring tears to my eyes

Violent lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I feel hot & red & wired
I feel burned out like I've expired.
Freaky dreams & you are there
With glowing eyes & burning hair &
& I'm not even dreaming
Violent.
Every nerve & every cell
They gotta fight to stay alive & well
I'm in a world of chronic
Discontent
Screaming metal & burning rubber
Always shoving & raping & cursing each other
Exploding into violence.

Try some buy some
Wheel & deal it
Buy or steal it
If it makes you feel it
We want it intense
We want our violence.
Get ready to take it all the way
The things they do
The words they say it's all so
Ready to get
Violent

Wedding bells all pink & white
Chocolates & candlelight
You & me & we makes three
K/ i /s /s /i/ n/ g
Like a comedy
That never played quite right

It seems so easy & it looks so clean, all the
Shiny happy people in the magazines
But nothing seems to mean
What it meant.
A flood of blood & a burning pain
Broken hearts & throbbing brains
The message has been sent
& it's violent

Try some buy some
Wheel & deal it
Buy or steal it
If it makes you feel it
We want it intense
We want our violence.
Get ready to take it all the way
The things they do
The words they say it's all so
Ready to get
Violent

When I Was A Fool lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I re-read silly lines
That made sense at the time
Pages all stained with tears and red wine
And I walk through the airport and see magazines
Every face that I see
So much younger than me
And I smile to myself how I don't even miss
My glorious past or the lips that I've kissed
And I think to myself that how easy this is
Easy to breathe, easy to live

And I wonder why I tear myself in two
Over how to be, what to say and what to do
And I know you liked me better then
And I know you liked me better when I was a fool
…I was a fool
…mm
…I was a fool
…mm

So I live in these days
But I still have my old ways
'cause the future, somehow, has yet to arrive
And I see all around me the women on time
Kids and divorces and crisis in midlife
and do I surrender and give up my dream
for a brick in the wall and a washing machine
grow up and get real
for a kid in their teens
who won't care what I've done
where I've been, what I've seen

And I wonder why I tear myself in two
over who to be, how to be and what to do
and I know you liked me better then
and I know you liked me better when I was a fool
…I…was a fool
…I was a fool
…I was a fool

I'm free to a fault
I'm 45
I'm playing guitar
I'm living my life
Fly down the highway
Sun on my face
I belong to nobody
I belong to no place

True, Part III lyrics - Concrete Blonde

And I will leave this life
And I will know I've done the very best I can

And I will leave behind
Strain and pain
And take the blame for who I am

And I
I tried
Tried to find a way
To hang it all together
Oh together

And when
I leave this life,
What will you say of me,
You who never knew my heart?

For I will
Leave behind
The sound of a woman
Who knew what was true
From the start.

And I
I wanna slide
Out of my old hide all
Clean and free and better

Yeah I
Wanna ride off into a wild new morning,
Off into forever
Forever.

Oh I
I
Wanna ride
Off into some wild new morning,
Off into forever.

Oh I
I wanna slide
Out of my old hide all
Clean and free and better
Oh forever

Tonight lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Walking on a cloud to another shore
A luminous and beautiful promise of more

Tonight I'll be with you
Tonight I'll be with you

Walking through time
Dancing through space
The pearly-gray moon is wearing your face
And tonight I'll be with you
Tonight I'll be with you
Oh I hear your voice
Oh I have no choice I follow

Swinging on a star
Flying around
This is so bizarre, maybe
I better come down

Tonight I'll be with you
Tonight I'll be with you

Let's go planet hopping
Through the universe
There's no stopping us
Where to first?

Tonight I'll be with you
Tonight I'll be with you

Valentine lyrics - Concrete Blonde

You were watching me eat
You were watching me sleep
You were a willing sheep
And I was little-bo-peep and
You were writing it down and
You were looking for cracks but I
Look good with a knife in my back

Valentine,
I'm all mine
Valentine,
I'm all mine

With a flick of my wrist and
With a twitch of my lid
I'll make you wish like hell
You never said what you did and
With a flick of my tongue and
With a lick of my lip
You'll never work your way up
To where I slipped from

Valentine,
My steel spine
Shines up fine,
Valentine
Valentine,
I'm all mine
Shines up fine,
Valentine

Well I got leather skin
And I got a brick head
And I got clay feet and
A heart of dead lead and
I'm all wired up
And I got a lotta soul
And from what I'm told a golden hole

Valentine,
My steel spine
Shines up fine,
Valentine
Valentine,
I'm all mine
Shines up fine,
Valentine

Your Llorona lyrics - Concrete blonde

Last night I saw her,
Your Llorona
Sitting alone at the back of the bar.
Through the smoke & tequila
Tears & mascara
Hopeless & haunting the
Hotel Cesar

Oh
Your Llorona.
Will remember forever,
Corazon.
Oh, your Llorona,
Still waiting, still weeping,
Still alone.

I didn't know what to tell her,
Your Llorona,
She was watching the boys
Come & go all night
She was looking for you again,
Your Llorona.
The one in the corner
Dressed in white.

She was asking about you again,
Your Llorona
So what should I tell her, so
What should I say?
She things you are coming back,
Your Llorona
She swears you are coming back to her one day.

Oh,
Your Llorona
Will remember forever,
Corazon.
Oh, your Llorona
Still waiting & weeping
Still alone

Take Me Home lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Pick up the phone I know you're there
It's almost closing time
& we can toss down one more shot
Before last call

Are you ok?
I swear to God
I gotta get out of this house
I miss the days when I'd just
Not come home at all..

So, don't you cry, it'll give you lines
Around your eyes
You gotta try not to live so much of
Life alone.
& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle
Take me home, take me home, I'll take
You home

Remember when we used to stumble
Down the boulevard
From bar to bar until we couldn't stagger straight
It seemed like we would live forever,
Life was not this hard
No we felt nothing much at all but it felt
Great

So, don't you cry it'll give you lines
Around your eyes
You gotta try not to live so much of
Life alone
& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle,
Take you home, I'll take you home, I'll
Take you home.

Things get better everyday you stay alive
Then I'm amazed
Every day
That the sun decides to rise
Every minute, every hour, is another
Chance to change
Life is beautiful & terrible & strange.

So don't you cry, it'll give you lines around
Your eyes
You gotta try not to live so much of life alone
& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom
Of the bottle,
Take you home, I'll take you home, I'll take you home.

Now don't you cry, it'll give you lines around
Your eyes
You gotta try not to live so much of life alone
& if you see me getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle,
Take me home, take me home, take me home.

Inside / Outside lyrics - Concrete Blonde

What I feel inside,
Sometimes is hard to get out.
Lost in translation
What I'm thinking about.

The voices inside...
I believe when I hear
They come from somewhere
Between my heart & my ear...

INSIDE vs.
OUTSIDE.
INSIDE vs.
OUTSIDE.
INSIDE vs.
OUTSIDE.

Here on the inside
There's a war going on
With what's on the outside
Where I don't think I belong.

When I go outside
It's all so crazy out there
I like it inside
It's so much safer in here.

INSIDE vs.
OUTSIDE.
INSIDE vs.
OUTSIDE.
INSIDE vs.
OUTSIDE.

If you could turn yourself
Turn yourself inside out
What would I see then?
What would you be all about?

Who's on the inside?
Behind the cheap paper face
Some other someone
Is slowly taking your place.

INSIDE vs.
OUTSIDE.
INSIDE vs.
OUTSIDE.
INSIDE vs.
OUTSIDE.

Fried lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Ever since I was a little kid I wondered
Why people did the things they did
I wondered why people said the things they said
I used to lie awake at night in bed

& nobody seemed to be what they seemed
& they taught me to stop believing in dreams &
Told me to work & be pretty & breed
But I think & I feel & I need to know why

I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I
FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH
YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE.

Philosophy, science, mathematics
Quantum physics...semantics
I don't wanna buy thing they're selling
Meanwhile, all our brains are swelling

Visitors from outer space &
New millennium racists
Oh yes,
History is paling
& my surge protection failed, & so

I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I
FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH
YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE.

Love is power, love is pure,
Love is the only thing I'm sure of
Love is e lec tri ci ty
Felicity, it is life, you see
It is the one thing beyond all control.
The multi-dimensional-unmeasurable soul
Try to contain it. Try to maintain it.
No one can explain it

I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I
FOUND MYSELF ON THE
OTHER SIDE. OH YEAH THE DOOR WAS
OPEN WIDE.

Angel lyrics - Concrete Blonde

What if I said I've
Seen a miracle?
What if I said my
Dreams come true?
Would you believe
I have seen these things
With my own eyes &
Saw the world go dark & dead
& then go green & blue again

You're my Angel.
You're my Devil, too.
When you fall,
Raise your eyes &
Know the sun & moon
Will rise &
Lift you up in love,
Above this mad raging zoo

What if I told you
You were beautiful?
With your scars & missing parts & your
Painted face?
What if I told you,
You were very necessary to the
Chain, the vein, the children of
A young & foolish race?

You're my Angel.
You're my Devil, too.
When you fall,
Raise your eyes &
Know the sun & moon
Will rise &
Lift you up in love,
Above this raging zoo

What if I said I
Saw the future:
& the future was the
Picture in your head?
What if I said to you to
Paint another picture & you'd
Wake up in that future that you'd
Painted, & you did?

Memory lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Fill another glass for me,
Another one for you.
The lights are blinking red & green
The sky is finally turning blue oh
Memory,
So dear to me as I am here with you.

We let ourselves get close only to
Finally pull away
We lose ourselves in time & then we
Realize today's today oh
Memory, like melody,
Softly plays.

Hours into days & years
So misty & so sad,
Like a beautiful young ingenue
Gone slowly quietly mad oh,
Memory, like a melody,
Softly fades.

Pour another glass for you,
Another one for me
The night is dying
We're alive
& happy to be here
Creating melodies
& memories
Life is so very rich
& made of these
Oh, memory
Melody,
You will always be a part of me
So welcome home.
Welcome home.

Viva La Vida lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

Echoes lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Live on
Endless running - rivers red
I see the ruins fallen in my head
No sign of liberty on any face
Lost by the tears of more than one race
More than one race

Under illusions of hostility
We sleep in doubt restlessly
Outside the walls in cinder we lay
A silent voice against the crimson sky
Crimson sky

Live on - tu y yo

God, I dream - it's only a vision
Just ahead - miles in revision
I walk with you - but not alone
Without an answer we will sing this song
Sing the song

Live on - tu y yo

Live on - tu y yo

We will begin again

Maria Elena (Letter From L.A.) lyrics - Concrete Blonde

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die

Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Wanna make her all your own?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and full of fire
Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

She walks like she don't care
Walkin' on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Debbie Don't Do Dicks lyrics - Concrete Blonde

O my heart was heavy it flops and then it flips
I'm in love with Debbie, but Debbie don't do dicks

I guess it makes her sick to lick a pussy on a stick
Debbie Debbie Debbie don't do dicks
My Debbie don't do dicks

Why can't she favor
It's just a clit that's bigger
Don't get gross when it grows
Think of it as Pinocchio's nose
I'll pop o'er to Sweden
And change the way I'm peein'
If you wait I'll castrate
And hide the hurt inside

Do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, do my dick, Debbie
My debbie don't do dicks

I'm Going Home lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Tell my gal I'm gonna blow
I'm going homo homo homo homo

And I Fell Back Alone lyrics - Concrete Blonde

We walk with each other as we leave the room
You don't have to tell me that it's over
Whoever you were then I never really knew
And you got no need to know me now

Can't see the bottom from the top
Don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
And I fell back alone
And I fell....

And stop making all the right moves
Just to keep the walls from coming up
I can't get over this at all
I'm in some different place
Stranger's pictures on my walls
I drew them yesterday
I never thought I'd have a turn at all

You can't see the bottom from the top
You don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
And I fell back alone
And I fell

Lover never means forever
It just means some other time or place
But how can two souls still heed together
When you left and it lost its taste

How can we lie together in bed and face to face
and not see anyone at all?
It's time to make a wish and let it burn on down the stream
We can dream together for everything we might have had

Live it long, my love
Live it all, my love
Live it strong, my love
Live it all....

You can't see the bottom from the top
Don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
And I fell back alone
And I fell

The Ship Song lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your thoughts upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you call around

We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down

Come sail your ships around me
And let your hair hang down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly

Come sail your ships around me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

Come loose your thoughts upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery, baby
Every time you call around

Skyway lyrics - Concrete Blonde

You take the skyway
High above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves at night I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out on the street
To take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold like any other place
Warm up inside
Sit right down and wait here for a ride
Beneath the skyway

Oh, then one day
I saw you walkin' down that little one-way
Near the place I catch my ride most every day
There ain't nothin' I can do
Nothin' I can say
Skyway
Skyway
Skyway

God Is A Bullet lyrics - Concrete Blonde

There's a green plaid jacket on the back of the chair
It's like a moment frozen forever there
Mom and Dad had a lot of big plans for their little man
So proud
Mama's gone crazy 'cause her baby's cut down
By some teenage car chase, war out of bounds
It was the wrong place, wrong time, wrong end of a gun
Sad

(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
From the hip, ya'll
(Shoot)
Gone forever in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your brother
(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
Shoot to kill, yeah
Blame each other, well, blame yourself
You know, God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone

They're gonna call me sir, they'll all stop picking on me
Well, I'm a high school grad, I'm over five-foot-three
I'll get a badge and a gun and I'll join the P.D.
They'll see
He didn't have to use the gun they put in his hand
But when the guy came at him, well, he panicked and ran
And it's a thirty long years 'fore they'll give him another chance
And it's sad, sad, yes, sad

(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
From the hip, ya'll
(Shoot)
It's all gone in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your mother
(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
Shoot to kill, ya'll
Blame each other, blame yourself
You know, God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone

(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
From the hip, ya'll
(Shoot)
Gone forever in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your mother
(Shoot)
John Lennon
(Shoot)
Dr. King, yeah
Harvey Milk, and all for goddamn nothing
God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone

God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone.

Jenny I Read lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Jenny I read something you said about
Rock and roll and life and death
Ah, Jenny I read they carried you home
Broken, beaten all alone

Oh, Jenny you said
Jenny you thought
Give them all that they want
Everything that you got
Oh, Jenny my dear
It's a wicked city
Once you're young, stupid and pretty

And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)
They're making angry loud noises (kicking back at the world)
And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)

Jenny they cried
Jenny they screamed
Your picture in every magazine
Yeah, ya wanted it all
But the American dream was nothing to write home about

She was the next big thing
And the telephone was ringing all of the time
You were wined and dined every night
Then one day it was over
And where are you now they wonder

And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)
They're making angry loud noises (kicking back at the the world)
And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)

Superstar, that's what you are

And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)
They're making angry loud noises (kicking back at the the world)
And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)

Behind their, their fingers
Eyes aside
In sharp little whispers
They say it's her
It is her
What happened to her
She knows this
And she smiles

She doesn't look anything
Anything like her pictures
She used to be
She used to be
She used to be

But she knows this and she smiles
For she has miles and miles of memories all to herself
Everything in between then and now
And all her images of everything in between now and then
And all they have are pictures
Pictures

Mexican Moon lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Oh, amigo
Here we do things slow
Money, art, a broken heart
Where did you want to go?
Señor, por favor
To the hotel Zona Rosa
What did I come here for?

Oh, señor
I run, but the damage has been done
Miles have gone away
And my amor, he never come

I look up at the sky
I am tired and dry
Uno Tecate and lime
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

Señor, you are wise
I can see a million years
A million tears behind your eyes
Take me home
Take me to the Zona Rosa
Mariachis and tequila
I will dance the night alone

Just some time
Just a little kiss of mine
Take me where I can forget, señor
You are so very kind

I look up at the sky
I am tired and dry
Dos Tecate and lime
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

I look up at the sky
I will try not to cry
Tres Tecate and lime
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

Heal It Up lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Feeling the fire under my feet
I was a liar, you were a cheat
Playing with knives we were cut close to home
Close to the bone
Just so alone

Something to have, something to hold
Something to share so I've been told
Deep in your eyes you're one hundred years old
Cause the years have not been kind to you, you know

Heal it up
Heal it up
Heal me up
Heal me up
Heal me up

Feeling the pinch, feeling the hope
Feeling the void deep in my soul
Feeling my feelings so out of control
Cause the years have not been kind to me, I know

Heal it up
Heal it up
Heal it up
Heal it up

Jonestown lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Sheep are running scared tonight
The cows are coming home
They cling together terrified
Afraid to be alone

The bees are buzzing around the queen
Waiting for a word
The ? are ? the scene?
Collectively absurd

They're looking for Jesus
They're looking for more
Just what are they looking up here to me for
They're looking for someone
They're looking for Christ
They're looking for some human sacrifice
It looks like Jonestown again
It looks like Jonestown
It looks like Jonestown again
It looks like Jonestown

They don't know who to run to
They don't know where to go
Unless you tell them what to think
They don't know what they know

Repeating the commercial
Something they have heard
From someone not they someone else
Somebody good with words

I think they're looking for an answer
They're looking for more
Just what are they looking up here to me for
They're looking for Jesus
They're looking for Christ
They're looking for some human sacrifice
It looks like Jonestown again
It looks like Jonestown again
It looks like Jonestown again
It looks like Jonestown again

They're looking for an answer
They're looking for more
Just what are you looking up here to me for
They're looking for Jesus
They're praying for Christ
They're looking for some human sacrifice
It looks like Jonestown
It looks like Jonestown
It looks like Jonestown
It looks like Jonestown
Jonestown
Jonestown

Rain lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Rain
Thought I heard a footstep
Thought I heard the phone
Standing on the doorstep
Listening alone
And all I hear is rain

Thought I saw your headlight
Thought I heard your car
Shadows on the streetlights
Fog and nothing more
And all I hear is rain

And things I tried to say
Tried as many times
This rain is falling from my eyes
These kinds of days (I really miss you now)
Seasons are changed again (I really miss you now)
I search in vain
I wonder where you are
Watching the rain
And it makes me remember
Things I tried to say

Rain
Laughing at the window
Thought I saw your face
Only cloudy images
On my window pane
And all I hear is rain

And things I tried to say

I Call It Love lyrics - Concrete Blonde

If you listen to the ocean
And the rhythm of the rain
And the rhythm of a heartbeat
And ? you again

And you do not see the color
And you do not see the reason
And you do not understand these things
You only know religion

And the wisdom of the ages
Meets the wisdom of the moment
And the future past and present
Is the feeling or the touch

And the walking hand you feel it
And it follows like a wind
And the voices in your ear
Are telling you so much

Some call it Allah
Some call it God
Some call it Buddha
I call it Love

Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it Love

When you're guilty of compassion
It's the border of ?
On the international
Binding us together

When the song is all around you
Telling you be free
And the force has finally found you
And it's everything you need

Some call it Allah
Some call it God
Some call it Buddha
I call it Love

Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it Love

Some call it Allah
Some call it God
Some call it Buddha
I call it Love

Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it Love

Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it Love

Some call it Allah
Some call it Jesus

Jesus Forgive Me (For The Things I'm About To Say) lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Oh, Jesus
Please forgive me
For the things I'm about to say

I killed you in my mind today
I cut you up, I watched you bleed
I killed you in my heart today
For everything you did to me
I murdered you a hundred times
I shot you dead and never cried
I killed you in my mind today
I laughed and watched you die

Screaming at me all on fire
(Liar, liar, liar)
I buried you with my desire
(Liar, liar, liar)
I buried you so far below
(Liar, liar, liar)
I hate to see you go

(Oh, Jesus)
Oh, Jesus
(Please forgive me)
Oh, what am I thinking
Oh, oh
(Oh, Jesus)
Oh, Jesus
(Please forgive me)
What am I thinking

On my knees beside my bed
(Liar, liar, liar)
I'm sorry for the things I said
(Liar, liar, liar)
I've washed the sheets a million times
(Liar, liar, liar)
I'm paying for my crime
Oh, yeah

(Oh, Jesus)
Jesus
(Please forgive me)
Please forgive me
Yeah, oh
(Oh, Jesus)
Oh
(Please forgive me)
Everything that I did to you
Oh

(Oh, Jesus)
Oh
(Please forgive me)
I'm praying to you
Oh
(Oh, Jesus)
I am
(Please forgive me)
I don't know myself right now
Somehow
(Oh, Jesus)
Oh, Jesus forgive
(Please forgive me)
Forgive me now

(I killed you in my mind today)
Oh
(Oh, Jesus)
Oh, Jesus, please
(Please forgive me)
What I want
I mean it now
Mean it now
(I killed you in my mind today)
Somehow.

When You Smile lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I dreamed last night I was born a hundred years ago
But when I woke up I was lost with only one place to go
When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two

It's not fair to put you against all of the years behind me
But history kind of pales when you and you are aligned

When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
When you smile

Well there's never been a man who's been anymore than bones in sack
But it doesn't take much to hold the possibilities back

When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
When you smile

When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
Yes, it seems like the end of the world
Yes, it seems like the end of the world
When you smile
When you smile
When you smile
When you smile

Close To Home lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Tennessee, Baton Rouge
Dallas, Texas
Coming through
New Orleans, I could stay
But tomorrow I'm on my way

I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home

I been here
I been there
I been nowhere
Everywhere
Mexico, I could stay
Arizona to L.A.

I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home

I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home

I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home

One Of My Kind lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I go on a date with you
Get me to the party before it's too late
So I can watch all the evil in the room
Get up and dance while he's still fresh

And he's still all in love with his first steady
If not, let me know
Cause I'd rather stay home than go

Shadows, windows
Sorrow like an undertow
Clotheslines, telephone lines

It's a matter of time before they find me
I'm waiting for a sign from one of my kind
I'm waiting for the time to fall behind me
I'm waiting for a sign from one of my kind

Get on the plane
A star in the sky
Down and living and dying inside
Slipping on the wire and jumping off the ledge
I feel like dancing out over the edge

Weeping willow
Weeping on my pillow
Headlines, deadlines

Wine, dine, do a line
Nickel and dime me
I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind
I'm waiting for the time to fall behind me
I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind

Oh, no [?]
Soon we flew from our cocoon
We go slow

I'm wondering how long until they find me
I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind
It's a matter of time until they find me
I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind
Waiting for a sign from one of my kind
Waiting for a sign from one of my kind
Waiting for a sign from one of my kind
Waiting for a sign from one of my kind

End Of The Line lyrics- Concrete Blonde

Take a walk out in the rain
Called you time and time again
Everything is wrong
You've gone

Reached the point of no return
The more I see the more I stand alone
I see the end of the line

Were you ever lonely
Mystified and blue
Realizing only
Your number's up
You're through

Had my share of winning
Now's my time to lose
After a fair beginning
The game's up
You're through

Think I'll walk out in the storm
Got no love to keep me warm inside
I see the end of the line

Now's the time to take a dive
Take a magic carpet ride
Everything is wrong
We've gone

If you ever miss me
If I should cross your mind
You know where to find me
I'll be waiting at the end of the line

(Love Is A) Blind Ambition lyrics - Concrete Blonde

And all the minutes
Of all the madness
And all the poetry
Between the good and badness

And all the hours
Of all the minutes
Of all the thousand loves
That grew from within

It was the heat of the night
And love was a blind ambition

And all the seasons
All the years
Of all countless questions
And seasons of fear

There's an answer
And all emotion
And all the hungry moments
A losing proposition

It's just the heat of the night
'Cause love is a blind ambition
It's just the heat of the night
'Cause love is a blind ambition

And all the minutes
Of all the madness
And all the poetry
Between the good and badness

And all the hours
Of all the minutes
And all the flowers of love
And the love that grew from within it

It was the heat of the night
And love was a blind ambition
It was the heat of the night
And love was a blind ambition

Bajo La Lune Mexicana lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Oh amigo, hacemos todo despacito
Dinero, artes, amores tristes, a donde yo quiero
Señor, por favor, al Hotel Zona Rosa
No sé aquí lo que hago
Señor, corrí, pero el daño fué hecho
Millas y tiempo pasó y mi amor, Él no llegó

Mirando al cielo arriba
platicando mi vida
Una tecate con lima

(Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon)
Pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana

Señor tú eres juicioso
veo los millones de años y lágrimas en sus ojos
Señor, por favor, llévame a la Zona Rosa
Mariachi y tequila, a bailar la noche sola
llevame al lugar de paz de mente
donde puedo olvidar Señor, tu eres muy amable

Mirando al cielo arriba
Intentar que no llorar
Dos tecate con lima

(Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon)
Pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana

Mirando al cielo arriba
Intentar que no llorar
Tres tecate con lima

(Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon)
Pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana

"Walking In London" (1992)

Ghost Of A Texas Ladies' Man lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I saw a face in the shower door
A cowboy smile came and faded
I reached for my towel on the floor
I didn't think it was exactly where I'd laid it

"You don't scare me, you don't scare me," I said
To whatever it was floating in the air above my bed
He knew I'd understand
He was the ghost of a Texas ladies' man

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I reached to turn out the light
He wouldn't let me get near it
He seemed so glad to see a woman in the flesh
And I really liked his spirit

"You don't scare me, you don't scare me," I cried
To my ectoplasmic lover from the other side
He knew I'd understand
He was the ghost of a Texas ladies' man

"You don't scare me, you don't scare me," I cried
To my ectoplasmic lover from the other side
He knew I'd understand
He was the ghost of a Texas ladies' man

(Oh)
Oh yeah
(Oh, oh, oh)
Ghost of a Texas ladies' man
(Oh, oh)
Oh yeah
(Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh).

Walking In London lyrics - Concrete Blonde

This deja-vu feeling I know quite well
This psychic confusion, this living hell
A cosmic connection with someone somewhere
Is coming from your direction, I swear, I swear

And I’ve been running all this time
And I’m running out of places to go
And I am, oh, so sick and tired
Of every face that I know

Everything I do
Everything I say
Everything in my head
Every night, every day

I’ve been east, I’ve been west
I’ve been north, I’ve been south
I feel your arms, I hear your voice
I feel your hands, I kiss your mouth

And I am walking in London
And you are watching me walk
Talking Italian
And you are hearing me talk

Singing in Sydney
And you were sitting right there
Feeling you in me
Everywhere, everywhere

An invisible touch on the back of my neck
Fingerprints lingering, warm breath
I’m either going insane or I’m a human wire
Receiving a signal, desire, desire

And I’ve been running all this time
And I’m running out of places to go
And I am, oh, so sick and tired
Of every face that I know

Everything I do
Everything I say
Everything in my head
Every night, every day

I’ve been east, I’ve been west
I’ve been north, I’ve been south
I feel your arms, I hear your voice
I feel your hands, I kiss your mouth

And I’m walking in London
And you are watching me walk
Talking Italian
And you are hearing me talk

Singing in Sydney
And you were sitting right there
And I'm feeling you in me
Everywhere, everywhere

Les Coeurs Jumeaux lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Oh Madame Moon, you
Have such a view, do
You see him, do you?
Les coeurs jumeaux

Oh Monsieur Sun, I
I'm on a dark side
I miss him all night
I hope he's all right

Monsieur Soliel
Madame la Lune
Les couer jumeaux
Pauvre deux!

Monsieur Soliel
Madame la Lune
Please bring him back
Into my view

Oh Madame Moon, you
Can say adieu
Les couers jumeaux
Ah, so true

Monsieur Soliel
S'il vous plait
Les couers jumeaux
So far away

Madame la Lune
Femme de la nuit
Please bring him back
Into my view

Monsieur Soleil
Someday . . . .

Woman To Woman lyrics - Concrete Blonde

You know your old man was with me last night
And I just want you to know I don't think it's right
Because Bessie used to sing to me
Don't ever play no second fiddle, baby, always play lead

Talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
Because I understand

I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
You know I understand

I don't want your man
I don't need your man
You can have your man

I'm sure every word he says to me is true
Just like I'm sure they're true when he says them to you
Or a bird in a cage, he sure can sing
But I don't want no part of his three way thing

I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
You know I understand, oh yeah

I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
You know I understand

I don't need your man
I don't want your man
Oh yeah, hey, yeah
There's something about you

I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
'Cause I understand

I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
I'm talking woman to woman
'Cause I understand

I don't need your man
Don't even want your man
You can have your man

Why Don't You See Me lyrics - Concrete Blonde

When you lay down,
Do you hear sounds?
Does the silence have a voice?
What does it say?
What do you hear?
What does it whisper in your ear?
Why don't you hear me?
Why don't you hear me?
When you get up, into the light,
When you come up out of your night,
What do you see?
And do you see?
Or have you lost your sense of sight?
Why don't you see me?
Why don't you see me?
Why don't you see me?
Why don't you see me?
What do you think?
What do you feel?
'Cause this is feeling very real.
And if you feel,
Why can't you say?
Give me a little demonstration.
Can't you feel me?
Why don't you feel me?
Why don't you feel me?
Why don't you feel me?
Are you in love?
Are you in pain?
Are they together and the same?
Where do you go?
Who do you know?
Are you that lonely ghost on the side?
Why don't you see me?
Why don't you free me?
Why don't you feel me?
Why don't you feel me?
Why can't you hear me?
Why can't you hear me?
Why don't you see me?
Why don't you see me?

City Screaming lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Been on the bus
Since a quarter to one
I'm baking like a chicken
On the bus in the setting sun

Home, home, home
Under the window
Is that a shot or a car?
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know

The city smoke and city choke
And crackin' open
I hear the city screaming
I hear the city screaming

Twenty-four hours
All night, all day
The city hums and boils
And cracks and bleeds away

Stir 'em around
Stick 'em over a fire
No wonder everybody's strung up
Tighter than a god-damn piano wire

The city smoke and city choke
And crackin' open
I hear the city screaming
I hear the city screaming

Crack the whip
And Mister Jack, the knife
Were doing their trip on the corner
Underneath the streetlight late last night

One of the homeboys
Just take it on home sweet home
Well, you can blow your own self away
But leave the rest of us alone

The city die and city cry
Dehumanizing
I hear the city screaming
I hear the city screaming
I hear the city screaming
I hear the city screaming

Someday? lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Say it's been too hard
Say it's been too long
You say it's all too much
The thrill has long been gone
Well I thought you could
Yes I thought you could
And you thought you could too

But it's a place and time
Where the years behind are piled up high
But never mind
It's time to crash and burn or fly
And I thought you could
You know I thought you could
You know I thought you could too

Go to sleep now
Go on dream away
Isn't easy, is it babe?
And I hope
And I dream
And I pray
That sometime
We'll find a way

Some say easy come
Some say easy go
Some say time flies by too fast
Some say it drags on all too slow
Well I thought you could
You know I thought you could
And I thought I could too

But, if you never find
The heart to start all over again
Remember I was one
Who tried to be a friend to you... I
Well, I know I tried
Yes, you know I tried
And I know you tried too

Go to sleep, now
Go on dream away
Is it easy, is it babe?
And, I hope
And, I dream
And, I pray
That sometime
We'll find a way

Go to sleep, now
(Go to sleep, now)
Go on dream away
(Go on dream away)
Is it easy, is it babe?
(Is it easy, is it babe?)
And, I hope
And, I dream
And, I pray
That sometime
We'll find a way

I Wanna Be Your Friend Again lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Happy New Year!
(Happy nowhere!)
Where are you going?
(Slow, I don't care where...)
Where?
(Oh, I'll get there)
I WILL get there
Monday, one step
Tuesday, two
I'd crawl on my hands and knees to you
Wednesday, three
Thursday, four
I'd break in windows
I'd kick in doors
Friday, walk until I fell
By the side of the road
Too tired to tell where I was
(Where were you?)
I don't know...
(Where was I?)
I
I wanna be your friend again
One, two, three o'clock
It's too late to start
Too late to
(Stop)
Five, six, seven, eight
I'm walking steady
I'm walking straight
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen
You're important to me
(You're important to me)
Night and day and day and night
If I can, I will make things right
I
I wanna be your friend again
I'm sorry
(sorry)
For the things I wish I hadn't said
I'm sorry
(sorry)
For the things I wish I hadn't done
I'm sorry
(sorry)
For the way I wish I hadn't been
I'm sorry
(sorry)
Hello?
Hi. Oh, it's only me...
(Oh yeah, be cool. Tell him. It's the women who loves him more than life itself. That's what you really want to say.)
Well, you know.... It just popped into my head... thought I'd give you a call...
(Oh yeah, you've been waiting all day; getting up the nerve all month.)
Oh... I'm fine. Fine.
(Oh, fine. You are not fine! You eat, sleep, think him, twenty-four hours a day.)
Oh you are? Oh good, I'm glad.
(You are not glad! You hope he burns in Hell with this woman! You're not happy. Go on, tell him!)
Oh, everything's going great. Really great.
(It is not going great! You are miserable twenty-four hours a day.
All you can do is think about this man, and you haven't even got the nerve to tell him what you really think.)
Yeah, yeah, I gotta go, too. Yeah, I've got a lot... lot of stuff to do.
(Don't lie! You haven't got anything better to do, and you know it, than be with him!)
Yeah. Take it easy. Bye.
(Oh, take it easy. Once again, you didn't say anything you really think!)
I
I wanna be your friend again
I
(sorry)
I wanna be your friend again
I'm sorry
(sorry)
For the things I wish I hadn't said

...Long Time Ago lyrics - Concrete Blonde

When you turned out the light
And walked out the door
I said to myself
"What did I come here for"
Did you have a good time
Drinking whiskey and rhyme
And did you want to be Bonnie and Clyde

What goes on in your mind
What goes on in your head
Who did you think I would be
Well, you got me instead
You think there's some connection
That I'm your female reflection, but no

I can be loyal
And I can be true
But that's for somebody else
And it will never be you
You think we're predetermined
But babe, you're learning way too slow
But it seems such a long time ago

Go, Fishman

Oh, he can see things
You'll never know how to see
He's three times the man
You'll never know how to be
I'll do anything he wants
And I'll go anywhere he wants me to go
And if that isn't love
Then I guess I'll just never know
Seems such a long time ago.

It's A Man's World lyrics - Concrete Blonde

(originally by James Brown)

[Chorus:]
It's a man's, man's, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Without a woman or a girl

Man made the cars
To take us over the road
Man made the trains
To carry his manmade load
Man has made everything
That he possibly can
He's busy making money
To buy from other men

[Chorus]

Man made the electric light
To take us out of the dark
Man made the boats on the water
They say Noah made the Ark
You man have made everything
That you possibly can
You're so busy making money
To buy from other men

[Chorus]

Lost
Well, he's lost
In his wilderness
Well, he's lost
Lost in his bitterness

[Chorus]

Man said he love the little bitty baby girls
And the little bitty baby boys
Tries so hard to make them happy
With his manmade toys
Man's making everything
That he possibly can
Busy making his almighty money
To buy from other men

[Chorus]

"Bloodletting" (1990)

Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) lyrics - Concrete Blonde

There's a crack in the mirror
And a bloodstain on the bed
There's a crack in the mirror
And a bloodstain on the bed

Oh, you were a vampire
And baby, I'm the walking dead
Oh, you were a vampire
And baby, I'm the walking dead

I got the ways and means
To New Orleans
I'm going down by the river
Where it's warm and green
I'm gonna have a drink and walk around
I got a lot to think about

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

There's a rocking chair by the window
Down the hall
I hear something there in the shadow
Down the hall

Oh, you were a vampire
And now I am nothing at all
Oh, you were a vampire
And now I am nothing at all

I got the ways and means
To New Orleans
I'm going down by the river
Where it's warm and green
I'm gonna have a drink and walk around
I got a lot to think about

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

They used to dance in the garden
In the middle of the night
Dancing out in the garden
In the middle of the night

Oh, you were a vampire
And I may never see the light
Oh, you were a vampire
And I may never see the light

I got the ways and means
To New Orleans
I'm going down by the river
Where it's warm and green
I'm gonna have a drink and walk around
I got a lot to think about

I got the ways and means
To New Orleans
I'm going down by the river
Where it's warm and green
I'm gonna have a drink and walk around
I got a lot to think about

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah

The Sky Is A Poisonous Garden lyrics - Concrete Blonde

The stars above shine down below
The fever you hold on this night
Deathly cold
I can feel from this side of the door
I can feel Eleanor

He said, sun don't rise
He said sun don't shine
He said don't bring tomorrow
To justify tonight
The moon is full-the stars are bright
And the sky is a poisonous garden
Tonight.

Sip your Tequila.
Give me some time
To unlearn all I've learned for the

spring to unwind
And then came your sweet mouth
I began to move mine.
They knew with the dawn
They knew with the day
They knew what they had
Would be young naked prey
And attacked from all sides
By a world filled with
Poison and hate

Eleanor trembles.
Eleanor moans.
Somehow, this body is someone
She always has known
She cries tears on his chest
O so silent and slow-

She said please don't go.
Please don't go
And she cried and she died in his arms
And he cried nevermore
The moon is full, the stars are bright
And the sky is a poisonous garden
Tonight.

Caroline lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I hear you're driving
someone else's car now...
She said you came and
took your stuff away -
All the poetry, and the trunk
you kept your life in -
I knew that it would
come to that someday...
Like a sad hallucination,
when I opened up my eyes,
the train had passed the station,
and you were trapped inside...
Yet I never wonder where you went,
I only wonder why,
I wonder why...

Oh Caroline
Oh, whoa-oh Caroline
oh, oh Caroline
whoa whoa whoa, Caroline

Well I hear you're using someone else's number;
She said she saw you in the store today.
It doesn't matter whose address
you're listed under,
I only know they'll never make you stay.
Like a memory in motion,
you were only passing through...
that is all you've ever known of life,
that's all you'll ever do.
There's a dream I have where I sail away;
looking back I wave at you,
and I wave goodbye...

Oh Caroline
Oh, oh whoa oh, Caroline
Oh, oh Caroline
Oh

In another life I see you
as an angel flying high,
and the hands of time will free you -
you will cast your chains aside -
and the dawn will come and kiss away
every tear that's ever fallen
from your eyes...
behind those eyes,
I wonder

Oh, Caroline... oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh... Caroline...
Sometimes I wonder...
Oh... Caroline
Sometimes I,
Sometimes I wonder...

Darkening Of The Light lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Like a ghost (like a ghost)
Is the curtain (is the curtain)
In the white light of the morning.
Dancing (dancing)
In the morning (in the morning)
Are you there? Are you there?

And a shadow (and a shadow)
Like a sadness (like a sadness)
Falling all across the garden
Dancing (dancing)
In the garden (in the garden)
Are you there? Are you there?

Shine on friend. Goodnight
Why, then, the darkening of the light?

And the leaves (and the leaves)
At my feet (at my feet)
Whisper sounds so familiar
Whisper (whisper)
So familiar (so familiar)
Are you there? Are you there?

Where the clouds (where the clouds)
Pull apart (pull apart)
Where the moon changes faces
In the quiet (in the quiet)
Secret places (secret places)
Are you there? Are you there?

Shine on friend. Goodnight
Why, then, the darkening of the light?

Shine on friend. Goodnight
Why, then, the darkening of the light?
The darkening of the light
The darkening of the light
The darkening of the light

I Don't Need A Hero lyrics - Concrete Blonde

You always said I was a liar
But we burn like a house on fire
No matter what, you know that to be true
And everything you gave to me
Changed everything I used to be
Much more than anyone I ever knew

And I don't need a hero
I don't need a soldier
I did when I was younger
But now that I am older
I don't need a father
I don't wanna be your mother
It's just that anyone of us is half
Without another one is you
Is you

The colours of that piece of time
Are still so fresh inside my mind
And it makes the movie
Of my life seem pale
And all the games I have to play
I got to give a lot of me away
But the part with us
Will never be for sale

And I don't need a hero
I don't need a soldier
I did when I was younger
But now that I am older
I don't need a father
I don't wanna be your mother
It's just that anyone of us is half
Without another one is you

The words of love have been confused
The ways of love have been abused
Is this a lottery you win or lose?
I don't know
It's an endless circle over time
The place inside where I hold and find
Your sweet and happy music in my soul

And I don't need a hero
I don't need a soldier
I did when I was younger
But now that I’m so much older
I don't need a father
I don't wanna be your mother
It's just that anyone of us is half
Without another one is you
Is you

Days And Days lyrics - Concrete Blonde

The dirty leaves are sailing
On a hot wind ocean
And the summer comes and the summer goes
And always has and will
And something, somewhere that you said
Goes ricochet all through my head
And flashing like a neon sign, the time stood still

Hours of forever
Running all together
Like the crossroads of a minute
And you and me were in it
And I never saw it coming
Never saw it fade away
Today, today, today
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days

And still the whining of the wheels
Is closest to the way I feel
And winter comes and winter goes
And always has and will
Another hour, another day
Another year you pissed away
Remember walking in the rain
I'm walking there still

That’s hours of forever
Running all together
Like the crossroads of a minute
And you and me were in it
And I never saw it coming
Never saw it fade away
Today, today, today
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days

Like every heart to beat before
And every wave to kiss a shore
I'm not the first, I'm not the last
And soon to be your past
But every morning
When the light comes
Creeping in around my eyes
Another future falls behind
The one I had in mind

It’s hours of forever
Running all together
Like the crossroads of a minute
And you and me were in it
And I never saw it coming
Never saw it fade away
Today, today, today
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days

Days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days

The Beast lyrics - Concrete Blonde

The prey of the beast
Screamed bloody murder
The line is so fine
Between hoping and hurting
Former believers they beg for release
As love looking down on them
Smiles and picks his teeth
Trapped in between Heaven and hell
He knows all the secrets
You don't want to tell
There's nowhere to run
And there's nowhere to hide
Love knows you all too well
He will find you

Love is the ghost
Haunting your head
Love is the killer
You thought was your friend
Love is the creature
Who lives in the dark
Sneaks up and stick you
And painfully pick you apart

Love is a poet
Love sings the songs
Pointing his finger
You follow along
Voices are calling
The monster wants out of you
Paws you and claws you
You try not to fall

Love is the leech
Sucking you up
Love is a vampire
Drunk on your blood
Love is the beast
That will tear out your heart
Hungrily lick it
And painfully pick it apart

Love is the leech
Sucking you up
Love is a vampire
Drunk on your blood
Love is the beast
That will tear out your heart
Hungrily lick it
And painfully pick it apart

Love is the ghost
Haunting your head
Love is the killer
You thought was your friend
Love is the creature
Who lives in the dark
Sneak up and stick you
And painfully pick you apart

Lullabye lyrics - Concrete Blonde

When the sky has fallen
Like a blanket on your shoulder
And the moon is like a mother
Looking over you forever
And the dawn is so familiar
You were meant to be together
Like a fog around a mountain
Forever

So softly
So sweetly
Surrounding you completely
Sing you a lullabye
Lullabye to you
Lullabye
Lullabye to you

When your breathing is the wind
And your crying is the rain
Well I know you will remember
Because the music is forever
The living of a lover
And the loving of another
Like a sister and a brother
Like a father and a mother

So softly
So sweetly
Surrounding you completely
Sing you a lullabye
Lullabye to you
Lullabye
Lullabye to you

When the sky has fallen
Like a blanket on your shoulder
And the moon is like a mother
Looking over you forever
And the dawn is so familiar
You were meant to be together
Like a fog around a mountain
Forever and ever

So softly
So close to me
You're surrounding me so beautifully
Lullabye
Lullabye to you
Lullabye
Lullabye to you
Lullabye
Lullabye to you
Lullabye
Lullabye to you

Joey lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Joey...
Baby...
Don't get crazy
Detours, fences...
I get defensive....

I know you've heard it all before
So I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
Fight your secret war

And though I used to wonder why
I used to cry till I was dry
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Oh Joey if you're hurting so am I

Joey...
Honey...
I've got the money

All is forgiven. Listen....listen...

But if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you
Well, I guess you scared me too
But we got lucky once before
And I don't want to close the door
And if you're somewhere out there
Passed out on the floor...

Oh...
Joey, I'm not angry anymore

And if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too...

But if it's love you're looking for
Then I can give a little more
And if you're somewhere drunk and
Passed out on the floor...

Oh...
Joey, I'm not angry anymore
Angry anymore, angry anymore

Tomorrow, Wendy lyrics - Concrete Blonde

(originally by Andy Prieboy)

It is complete, now
Two ends of time are neatly tied
A one-way street
She's walking to end of the line
And there she meets
The faces she keeps in her heart and mind

They say, "Goodbye"
Tomorrow, Wendy you're going to die
Tomorrow, Wendy you're going to die

Underneath the chilly gray November sky
We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive
And we're shooting for the moon
And smiling Jack is driving by

And they say, "Good try"
Tomorrow, Wendy you're going to die
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

I told the priest
Don't count on any second coming
God got his ass kicked
The first time he came down here slumming
He had the balls to come
The gall to die and then forgive us
No, I don't wonder why
I wonder what he thought it would get us
Hey, hey, goodbye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

Only God says, "Jump"
So I set the time
'Cause if he ever saw her
It was through these eyes of mine
And if he ever suffered
It was me who did his crying

Hey, hey, goodbye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
(Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die)
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
(Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die)
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

Hey, hey, goodbye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

Hey, hey, goodbye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

Run Run Run lyrics - Concrete Blonde

You go crazy
You get tossed
You go running around
Until you know you're gonna fall off
He knows what you need he, knows how much, how much you want

Knock familiar,
Welcome in,
Can't believe that you let him
introduce you as a friend.
But you're always polite
in case you need him again
No not again,
No not again.

Can't believe the way I see you
Run, Run, Run,
Can't believe the way you bleed when you
Run, Run, Run,
Are you having fun?
Run-

Hands are shaking. Lips are cracked
You swore (I heard you swear) that you were
Never coming back, but...
one more time. Just one more night
and once again, you lost the fight
fight
So fight a little harder now.

Can't believe the way you bleed when you
Run, Run, Run
Can't believe the way you need to
Run, Run, Run
Are you still as young as you started
When you started to run?

Can't believe the way I see you
Run, Run, Run,
Can't believe the way you bleed when you
Run, Run, Run,
Are you having fun?
Run, Run, Run,
'till you drop.

It's Only Money lyrics - Concrete Blonde

You don't believe in love
You don't believe in hatred
Put your money in the bank
It's the only way to save it

You try to make a buck
But you haven't made a penny
You need a little luck
But you know you won't get any

You don't believe in God
You don't believe in glory
You've got a brother in the clinic
Tells the same kind of story

If he had another life
He'd know what would be waiting
If he had another soul
He could sell it all to Satan

You don't believe in war
You don't believe in Jesus
Got a sister in New York
She knows how she pleases

Walking the streets
On the south side of the city
Trying to make ends meet
Isn't that a pity...for money

Help Me lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Maybe it's just a phase
The days and the nights
And the nights and days
Of all the tossing and turning
And churning and burning
Inside my brain
Or maybe I'm finally insane
But I don't know what I believe anymore
It's like I'm caught in some revolving door
Going over and over
And over and over and

Teach me how to pray
Tell me what to say
Help me
Help me
Help me find my way

I never could play their game
You know that all your faces look the same
And I won't give up
Won't give in
You know I never want to be like them
Well, I'm ticking away like time
You know I'm out of sync
And I'm out of my mind
You know I used to know a truth from a lie
Just by looking in their eyes

Carry me away
Further and further
And further every day
Help me
Help me
Help me find my way

I'm hanging by a thread
And the waves of confusion
Break down on my head
And when I think of all the things you said
Well, the words fall dead

Higher every day
A price I swore I'd never pay
Help me
Help me
Help me find my way
Help me find my way.

Sun lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Sun part the dark and chase it gone
You're the sweet and sunny one
As bright as any star tonight
You smile like a beam of light

You can, show me a ray, show me a ray
Show me a ray, show me a ray of sun

Just until the morning comes
I'm the gray and cloudy one
Raining for so long, so long
Like a candle blowing in a storm

But you can, show me a ray, show me a ray
Show me a ray, show me a ray

You can, show me a ray, show me a ray
Show me a ray, show me a ray of sun

Just until the morning comes, sun
Just until the morning comes, sun

Roses Grow lyrics - Concrete Blonde

L.A
Who'da thought
Right smack dab in the middle of what
With the belching buses
And broken bones
DEVIL POUR ME ANOTHER SHOT
Hey, hey
L.A.
Who'da thought

L.A.
After closing when it's down to me
And the same old souls
Well Johnny's all right if you buy him a gin
He'll tell you his stories about Errol Flynn
He even danced with Marilyn!
No way!
Thats what they say
DEVIL POUR ME ANOTHER SHOT!
Hey, hey
L.A.
Who'da thought

Up through the cracks
Up through the broken glass
In the hot red light of a black and white
Roses grow

Roxy is in tonight
She's styling around in her fishnet tights
And she's got more life at 65
Than the teenage boys she keeps up all night
Heavy metal
Young hard cock
What, can't you handle that kind of talk?
The strippers here they really rock
DEVIL POUR ME ANOTHER SHOT
Hey, hey
L.A.
Who'da thought

Up through the cracks
Up through the broken glass
In the hot red light of a black and white
Roses grow
Up through the glass (Up through the glass)
Up through the broken glass (Up through the broken glass)
In the hot red light of a black and white (In the hot red of a black and white)
Roses grow
Roses grow
Roses grow
Roses grow....

Scene Of A Perfect Crime lyrics - Concrete Blonde

My eyes are jaded and complicated,
tired of the liars and the masqueraded
Who steals our innocence away,
like a thief in the night?
Who took away our faith in what we know to be right?
That was another world, then
that was another time
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime.

Whatever became of the child I was
I never want to lose her no
I won't give her up
and now my heart is harder,
my skin is getting tougher and tougher
That was another world then
That was another time
You can never go back to the place where love is blind
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime

Whatever became of our sweet blind love
As long as we could be together it was more than enough
Now we're all grown up and we need so much
I never knew that the price would go up as such
That was another world then, then
That was another time

Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind.
Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind.
Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind.
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime.

Happy Birthday lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Outside in the hall there's a cat fight
It's just after midnight, I guess ill be alright
I'm laid out on the floor, drunk and poor
How much longer, how much more

Oh, rock me to sleep, strong and deep
The screaming cats they give me the creep
But aside from all that I feel no pain
Staring up at the ceiling stains

Neon in the window
Sirens far away
News on the radio happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday

They're at it again next door, this whole floor
I swear, they're out to drive me crazy
Not right now I'm high as a cloud
I'm soft and gray and lazy

Smokin' out the window
Feelin' far away
News on the radio, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday

Fly me out the window
Somewhere far away
News on the radio, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday

Little Conversations lyrics - Concrete Blonde

The little conversation, well is over very soon
And I watch in admiration from my corner of the room
And they shine on you with starry eyes and they rain a friendly storm
They're like kids around a Christmas tree
And then you smile all nice and warm

These little conversations if I tried my very best
You know I never could say anything in twenty words or less
Somewhere, sometime, down the line
Someday I may confess and tell you all, well that's all

The little conversations well on me are very rough
Well they leave me all in pieces as you know there's never time enough
It's like a book with missing pages, a story incomplete
It's like a painting left unfinished
It feels like not enough to eat, starvin'

You know these little conversations, well for me they'll never do
Now what am I supposed to do with broken sentences of you?
I'll stay in my corner 'cause that's all that I can do
Let the others speak for me

Little conversations are we?
Are we? Are we?

Carry Me Away lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Today I went and bought myself a bottle
Like we used to do
Reminded me of you
Today I saw a train roll by the river
Blowing off the steam
Reminded me of me

That's when I threw the bottle in the river
That's when I started running for the train
There's nothing that you need I can't deliver
Carry me away
Carry me away

Make it seven-oh-nine California time
Whoever said it was a small world was either a liar
Or a fool
'Cause it's not true
And any promise we make is as easy to break
As the plastic people on your wedding cake
So says you
But you know, I do

I hear you thinking
From far away
If you keep on lying and crying and trying and drinking
I'm gonna carry me away
Carry me away

If you think about me
From far away
I hope you find it with me or without me
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away
Carry me away.

Free lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I can break your chains
Crack your cage apart
I can tear your walls down
With the beating of my heart
And if you said I have no choice
I would tell you, you're a liar
I'm not afraid to
Chuck this frying pan into your fire

I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
Well I'm the purple in the rainbow, my my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
'Cause I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, oh

Oh, you can't keep me down
Put me in your place
I will never wear your 20th century
Pacemaker face, yeah
You will never bleed
The spirit out of me
I'm flesh and blood, I'm real
I'm not your factory fantasy, no not me

I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
Well I'm the purple in the rainbow, my my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, yeah

Well, you can't keep me down
Put me in your place
I will never wear your 20th century
Pacemaker face, yeah
You will never bleed
The spirit out of me, no
I'm flesh and blood, I'm real
I'm not your factory fantasy, no not me

I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
Well, I'm the purple in the rainbow, my my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like rain on the sea
Well, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free

I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
The purple in the rainbow, my my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
Well, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, yeah

Little Wing lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me

With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.

Fly on little wing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, little wing

"Concrete Blonde" (1986)

True lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Well when I've had enough,
I'll get a pick-up truck and I'll drive away.
I'll take my last ten bucks just as far as it will go.

Ahh sometimes I'm easily fooled,
I take a painful step and I get knocked back two.
I do all I can and it's all I can do, but I'm true.

And if I had the choice I'd take the voice I got
Cause it was hard to find.
You know I've come too far to wind up right back where I started.
Ahh they tell me who I should be,
I'll never let the monkeys make a mess of me.
I give all I can and it's all I can do,
But I'm true.

One more sunset
Lay my head down - true
One more sunrise
Open my eyes up - true

And then they talk you up and then they talk you down
And you begin to doubt.
Sometimes the reasons seem so very far away.
Ahh but I'd stop breathing today,
but if I can't walk proud, I'd rather walk away.
I do all I am and it's all I can do,
Oh I'm true.

I'd give all I am and I'd give it to you.
So true.

Your Haunted Head lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Blackest eyes I've ever seen like moonstones shine,
And all the while behind the dancing eyes the boy was crying,
He creeps like ivy on the stairs, you know I liked him then,
When we would sit and drink for hours and watch the sidewalk spin.

[Chorus]
Well baby, I don't wanna hear your secrets,
I don't share your pain,
I don't wanna know about the wrinkles in your bed,
I don't wanna hear about the ghost inside your haunted head,
Inside your haunted head.

Now, I don't need your tragedy and I don't need your shame,
You can't keep your promises, but you keep naming names.
He laid his troubles out to me like a deck of playing cards,
Well don't you know that I can tell the Kings and Jokers well apart?

[Chorus]
Now, I don't wanna hear your secrets, I don't share your blame,
I don't wanna hear about the wrinkles in your bed,
I don't wanna hear about the ghost inside your haunted head,
Inside your haunted head!

Haunted,

Head.

Dance Along The Edge lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Sometimes we laugh like children
Go running hand in hand.
I never felt like this before,
I never will again
Sometimes we cry like babies
I hold you to my heart.
I just can't stand to see you sad,
It tears me all apart

And we're so afraid and it's such a shame,
There is no reason we should doubt it.
And the things we want to say we've never said!
And we look away and it's all okay and
Never really talk about it
It's a shame the way we dance along the edge

Dance along the edge.
Dance along the edge.

We always seem so careful,
We're always so unsure.
Our past mistakes they make us shaky, eyes on the door.
When do we stop searching
For what we're searching for?
Then when it comes we question love and try for more!

And we're happy here, but we live in fear
We've seen a lot of temples crumble.
Some of flesh and blood from love under glass.
Will we come undone? Will we turn and run?
And will we know it when we find it?
It's a game the way we dance along the edge.

Dance along the edge.
Dance along the edge.

[Solo]

And we'll walk the line and we'll do our time
For just as long as we've been given,
And pretend that we don't hear the things they've said.
Can we promise love, Is it all too much,
And do our old souls still believe it?
It's insane the way we dance along the edge.

Dance along the edge.
Dance along the edge.

[Outro]

Dance along the edge...

Still In Hollywood lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I was walking down the street early this morning
Past the graveyard, voices whisper to me.
I was walking down the street, early this morning
And the silver tears of rain hung from the leaves
And I swear I heard the voices singing to me...
Singing to the rhythm of the beat of my feet,
I swear I heard the voices singing to me -
Keep on, keep on, keep on.

Still in Hollywood!
oh WOW! Thought I'd be out of here by now.
Still in Hollywood!
My, my I'm running on a wheel and I don't know why
I don't know why.

And on the bus today, I met the queen of L.A. -
At least she said she was and who am I to say?
She was sixty-five and full of life,
She had purple-painted cheeks
And glitter on her eyes
And the troll on the corner, I flipped him a quarter
And he looked at me and smiled.
He wasn't abused, he wasn't confused,
He had nothing to gain and less to lose in Hollywood

Oh WOW! Thought I'd be out of here by now.
Still in Hollywood!
My, my I'm running like a rat and I don't know why

And so it's three A.M., I'm out walking again.
I'm just a spot on the sidewalk in a city of sin.
He doesn't give a fuck, he's living under a truck.
You know it coulda been me, guess it's just my luck.
But I swear I hear the voices singing to me -
Keep on, keep on, keep on.

Still in Hollywood...
