Not that you want to be
Out of curiosity
Just a corsage of the world
I was in love with a girl
I would the violence foresee
All that it ought to be
Blessed by generosity
Sure to put your heart in a whirl
Stop to pick up a dollar bill
As the blood drips at the mill
Have you got fried chicken?
You ate it up so fast
Laid down its life just for you
Now you have nothing to do
Just a television tube
Though for goodness sake
And the love you make
Skipping stones at the lake
You've got a half-baked idea
To think we'd be so glad to see ya
Lost in your lonely room
How they grow up and bloom
Young girls in the magazine
How they took part in your doom
Babies step out of the womb
Hunger and lust for life
She was like any housewife
Darning the socks with concern
Glad you ever were born
Just to get up in the morn
Though all the while you were
Surrounded by amateurs
Grieving in love so insane
Thinking your hope was refrain
And the emotional pain
Nothing to do but cry
As you dry your eyes
Watching the soap opera die
Longing for the freedom of success
When we're all just a temporary guest
Living in such a mess
I'll bring you back again
Just like you used to have been
How could you really win?
Pledging your existence to sin
Would glide in the twilight
Anything to make it right
When there's nothing left but nothing
But an empty song
Why did it have to go wrong?
How it all works out
Something about it so
Thinking that love is a crime
You were a friend of mine
Standing there at mistime
You're gonna make it, Jo
Love is sure to follow
Happy to be that way
Tomorrow is a brand new day
What do you have to say?
Nothing
Thank you!
Thanks for coming out tonight! I really appreciate it. Next
Time I come, I promise I'll do a better show. Thanks a lot!
