Time it tells living in my home town
Wedding bells, they begin easy
Live it down, baby don't talk that much
Baby knows, but baby don't tease me
In the park we could go walking
Drowned in the dark
Or we could go sailing on the sea
Always here, always on time
Close call, was it love or was it just easy?
Money talks when people need shoes and socks
Steady boys, i'm thinking she needs me
I was just sipping on something sweet
I don't need political process
I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more
See i was thinking that i lost my mind
But it's been getting to me all this time
And it don''t stop dragging me down
Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes i'm a travel man
But tonight this engine's failing
I still hear the children playing
Kick the can, kick the can
Skip and blackjack
Steal a car and ring a round-rosey
Rock and roll, candyland, boogeyman
Run away and give me your sneakers
Acid rain, when abel looked up at cain
We began the weeping and wailing
A hurried high from pestilence pills and pride
It's a shame, we could have gone sailing
But heaven knows
Heaven knows everything
Tranquilize
I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more
See i was thinking that i lost my mind
But it's been getting to me all this time
And it don't stop dragging me down
Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes i'm a travel man
But tonight this engine's failing
I still hear the children playing
Dead beat dancers, come to us and stay
'cause i don't care where you've been
And i don't care what you've seen
We're the ones who still believe
And we're looking for a page
In that lifeless book of hope
Where a dream might help you cope
With the bushes and the bombs
