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
