I want some news
Give me some news
I have to know
By wind or by winding road
I have to know
My brother, sin of sin
Tin cup rain goes straight to the brain
Just like a bullet
You attacked and stuck
You know I love you like Diane Cluck
My sweet thing, now you're dead
Disappeared to fog
Like the neighbor's dog
I know you love me
And you meant no harm
So all is forgiven from the dusty farm
Give me some news
I have to know
By wind or by winding road
I have to know
Don't forget all the times
I nearly died in your arms
Like a daisy
Hot on a farm
My torture was thus
I took what I must
Had to have you had to know
Now polished and pressed
Dressed to impress you
Falling all around
I'm outside the door
On you garden's floor
Bareing bossom a blossom
Soul reeking awesome
My lover, ravaged thing
Heartache city, don't go there again
Flicker your fire but don't get burned
You know I love you ash to the urn
My holy unpredictable
My fable teller
My starry stellar
You know I loved you from first eyes we met
And now I'm ready, red, hot and wet
Give me some news
I have to know
By wind or by winding road
I have to know
I want some news
