Wait before you go
so you will know
what I am feeling as you leave
I understand
your need for some time
some solitude

wait a while before you go
you should know
by now my heart belongs to you

I know that you must leave
and I can see
that it's not easy for you
know, that my soul
is always near you

wait a while before you go
you should know
by now my heart belongs to you

Shake off all
and the leaves start falling
spill the wine
and our dreams come tumbling down
all around
the sounds of time
are slipping through my fingers.

The day is gone
  when the angels come to stay
And all the silent whispers
  will be blown away
And lying in the corner
  a pair of high heel shoes
Hanging on the wall
  gold and silver for the blues

One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show

Someone is waiting behind
  an unlocked door
Grey circles overhead empties
  on the floor
The cracks in the walls have
  grown too long
The slow hand is dragging on
  afraid to meet the dawn

One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show

I sit here alone
I sit here alone
I look at the walls
Look at the walls
Look at the walls
I look at the walls

You shouldn't be out on your own
Oh no, not with a condition like that
Oh no, sir, constant care
A condition like that, a condition so rare
A penny for the guy, a penny for your thoughts
One a penny, two a penny, penny in your pocket
Ding dong bell, who can tell
Wild Man Fisher got nothing on me

I sit by the water
I sit by the water
Watch it go by
I'm watching the sky
Clouds going by
I'm watching the sky

I left my luggage at the station
Didn't know how to say goodbye
I walked away from all the fury and the madness
And the fury and the madness
And the fury and the madness
Woaah

I smile to myself
I smile to myself

You're on the blind side, I'm on the other side
Now I'm on the outside looking for another side
Upside down side, I'm still lucid
Maybe crazy but I'm not stupid
Try to get out, the parking lot's full
No matter, no matter
What's a man going to do?
One two buckle my shoe
Zip my lip

Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go wrong
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love will soon be gone
We can work it out!
We can work it out!

Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight
We can work it out!
We can work it out!

Life is very short
And there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
I'll ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While I see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out!
We can work it out! Yeah

Life is very short
And there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
I'll ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While I see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out!
We can work it out!

At least we can try
We can try to work it out someday

Roll me over slowly, I've been drinkin' all night,
help me make a move, I can't stand the light.
Wake me, shake me, don't slam the door.
I ain't been so bad, I just can't recall.
Spent the night chasin' up a listed old flame,
lyin' on the floor I can't remember her name.
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here.
What's goin onhere?

Went downtown, had a long way to go.
How I got there, well, I don't know.
Found myself sittin' in a west side bar,
tried to leave but I could not go far.
High class woman try'n  to give me a line,
should have left early when I felt so fine.
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here.
What's goin' on here?

When they closed up the bar, you know, they left me for dead.
I can't remember a thing I said.
Must have called the police to take me away.
They said, "Forty days", now I've got to pay.
Spent the night chasin' up a listed old flame,
lyin' on the floor I can't remember my name.
I can't get together while they're messin' with me,
keep on lookin'  round, tell me where can I be.
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here.
What's goin' on here?

Unforgettable face, I can't think of her name
It's on the edge of my tongue, gathering dust in the back of my brain
Something 'bout the way she ignores me that's vaguely familiar
Makes you wonder what it was you ever did to thrill her

Here we go again
Here we go again
Here I go again

I never felt the need to soothe her savage breast
She never felt obliged to tell me of her change of address
Caught me on a downward swing but I fell through her arms
And how could I be so careless, I never meant to go so far

Here we go again
Here we go again
Here I go again

Oh she's back in town
Oh she's back in town
I'm not leaving
I'm running away

She took it all away, now she's back for the rest
Took it all too easy, wouldn't settle for less
She doesn't know what she wants but she knows how to get it
Ah I can't remember the time, she never let me forget it

Here we go again
Here we go again
Here I go again

Oh Whatsername's back in town
Oh she's back in town
I'm not leaving
I'm running away

Oh she's back in town
Oh she's back in town
I'm not leaving
I'm running away

If you're leaving close the door.
I'm not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor.
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man and my world is pale.
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale.

Had a friend once in a room,
had a good time but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month in that room
we found a reason for the things we had to do.
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man, now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it from his soul.

Way back here we have a climb
Everything I need but nothing's mine
Satan's world are back hell
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?

Let me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it but the devil will

I'm losing time and my mind
Why can't I have what's naturally mine?
I got life and the pain that goes with it
If there's something else, where can I get it?

Let me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it but the devil will

Well here's my views - I always lose
Things i want to do are yesterday's news
Say life's a ball- Well, I've had it all
I'm out flat when I'm out to dance all

Let me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it but the devil will

Take me as I am, an 'scuse for a man
Whenever I push someone stops my hand
As a matter of interest, tell me if you will
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?

Let me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it but the devil will

Oh why won't Rosemary take the pill?
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?

You're so hot, you're so cool
I can see that you're nobody's fool
Now tell me am I coming through
It's too late, I can't wait
Believe it's gonna be a big mistake
But I'm tempted to believe in you

I don't want to run and I don't want to fight
I just want to be the one you love tonight
Unclose my eyes, let it be

Bring on the band of angels from the great divide
I'll never get to heaven so take me for a ride
Fruit on the tree is shaking, my mind is in a daze
I just want a taste of your love
And learn your wicked ways

You're so bad, it feels good
There's so much I never understood
Oh Mama take a look at me now
I'm hung up, strung out
All I want to do is scream and shout your name
Addicted to you somehow

Electric in your touch there's magic in your kiss
You know I never knew that love could feel like this
Unclose my eyes, set me free

Bring on the band of angels from the great divide
I'll never get to heaven so take me for a ride
Fruit on the tree is shaking, my mind is in a daze
I just want a taste of your love
And learn your wicked ways

This baggage handcuffed to my wrists
i drag it everywhere i go
sometimes i fight you with my fists
but if i knew which way was home

Before the karma cut me loose
would bring me whisky and my water
sometimes i get the blues
though i know i shouldnt oughta
thats where i'd go

Run down ghost trail, no chance of love
no sign of life, just wild dogs howlin in the night
oh thats what i like

Before the karma cut me free
im sick of my own company
sometimes i miss the boat
most times i miss my home
thats where i`d go
if i new which way was home

Run down ghost trail, no chance of love
no sign of life
just wild dogs howlin' in the night

Hear 'em howl

   --- instrumental ---

Fly into the rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart

My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me

Talk about her like a Queen
Dancing in a Eastern Dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away

My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me

But I'm at home and I just don't belong ...

So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in Her City of light

Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high

My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
