Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness[00:06:41]
Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain[00:06:41]
If I said that you're my friend[00:06:41]
And our love would never end[00:06:41]
How long before I had your trust again[00:06:41]
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside[00:06:41]
Hopin' that you'd find your own way in[00:06:41]
But how can I protect you[00:06:41]
Or try not to neglect you[00:06:41]
When you won't take the love I have to give[00:06:41]
I bought me an illusion[00:06:41]
An I put it on the wall[00:06:41]
I let it fill my head with dreams[00:06:41]
And I had to have them all[00:06:41]
But oh the taste is never so sweet[00:06:41]
As what you'd believe it is-[00:06:41]
Well I guess it never is[00:06:41]
It's these prejudiced illusions[00:06:41]
That pump the blood[00:06:41]
To the heart of the biz[00:06:41]
You know I never thought[00:06:41]
That it could take so long[00:06:41]
You know I never knew how to be strong[00:06:41]
Yeah, I let you shape me[00:06:41]
But I feel as though you raped me[00:06:41]
'Cause you climbed inside my world[00:06:41]
And in my songs[00:06:41]
So now I've closed the door[00:06:41]
To keep the cold outside[00:06:41]
Seems somehow I've found the will to live[00:06:41]
But how can I forget you[00:06:41]
Or try not to reject you[00:06:41]
When we both know it takes time to forgive[00:06:41]
Sweetness is a virtue[00:06:41]
And you lost your virtue long ago[00:06:41]
You know I'd like to hurt you[00:06:41]
But my conscience always tells me no[00:06:41]
You could sell your body on the street[00:06:41]
To anyone whom you might meet[00:06:41]
Who'd love to try and get inside[00:06:41]
And bust your innocence open wide[00:06:41]
'Cause my baby's got a locomotive[00:06:41]
My baby's gone off the track[00:06:41]
My baby's got a locomotive[00:06:41]
Got ta peel the ***** off my back[00:06:41]
I know it looks like I'm insane[00:06:41]
Take a closer look I'm not to blame[00:06:41]
No[00:06:41]
Gonna have some fun with my frustration[00:06:41]
Gonna watch the big screen in my head[00:06:41]
I'd rather take a detour[00:06:41]
'Cause this road ain't gettin' clearer[00:06:41]
Your train of thought has cut me off again[00:06:41]
Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one[00:06:41]
Better tame that boy for he's a man[00:06:41]
Sweetheart don't make me laugh[00:06:41]
You's gettin' too big for your pants[00:06:41]
And I's think maybe you should[00:06:41]
Cut out while you can[00:06:41]
You can use you illusion-[00:06:41]
Let it take you where it may[00:06:41]
We live and learn[00:06:41]
And then sometimes it's best to walk away[00:06:41]
Me I'm just here hangin' on[00:06:41]
It's my only place to stay at least[00:06:41]
For now anyway[00:06:41]
I've worked too hard for my illusions[00:06:41]
Just to throw them all away[00:06:41]
I'm taking time for quiet consolation[00:06:41]
In passing by this love that's passed away[00:06:41]
I know it's never easy-[00:06:41]
So why should you believe me[00:06:41]
When I've always got so many things to say[00:06:41]
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made[00:06:41]
'Cause playful hearts[00:06:41]
Can sometimes be enraged[00:06:41]
You know I tried to wake you-[00:06:41]
I mean how long could it take you[00:06:41]
To open up your eyes and turn the page[00:06:41]
Kindness is a treasure-[00:06:41]
And it's one towards me you've seldom shown[00:06:41]
So I'll say it for good measure[00:06:41]
To all the ones like you I've known[00:06:41]
Ya know I'd like to shave your head[00:06:41]
And all my friends could[00:06:41]
paint it red[00:06:41]
'Cause love to me's a two way street[00:06:41]
An all I really want is peace[00:06:41]
But my baby's got a locomotive[00:06:41]
My baby's gone off the track[00:06:41]
My baby's got a locomotive[00:06:41]
Got ta peel the ***** off my back[00:06:41]
I know it looks like I'm insane[00:06:41]
Take a closer look I'm not to blame[00:06:41]
No[00:06:41]
Affection is a blessing[00:06:41]
Can you find it in your sordid heart[00:06:41]
I tried to keep this thing[00:06:41]
ta-gether[00:06:41]
But the tremor tore my pad apart[00:06:41]
Yeah I know it's hard to face[00:06:41]
When all we've worked for's gone to waste[00:06:41]
But you're such a stupid woman[00:06:41]
And I'm such a stupid man[00:06:41]
But love like time's got its own plans[00:06:41]
'Cause my baby's got a locomotive[00:06:41]
My baby's gone off the track[00:06:41]
My baby's got a locomotive[00:06:41]
Got ta peel the ***** off my back[00:06:41]
I know it looks like I'm insane[00:06:41]
Take a closer look I'm not to blame[00:06:41]
Yeah[00:06:41]
If love is blind I guess[00:06:41]
I'll buy myself a cane[00:06:41]
LOVE'S SO STRANGE[00:06:41]
LOVE'S SO STRANGE[00:06:41]
