Relief

i saw the sea come in
i saw your good old friend
he walked right passed
i'll never ask
i'll never ask again

i saw the sea come in
i saw your good old friend
he walked right passed
i'll never ask
i'll never ask again

i love the way you dance
we can work well out
dont u miss your chance
the pain will all grow out

i heard ur good old word
i heard the things you said
they shuffled in
i will be the same i'll be the same in red

i heard ur good old word
and i also heard the things you said
they shuffled in
i will be the same i'll be the same
goodnight

i love the way you dance
we can work well out
dont you miss your chance
the pain will all grow out

i didnt go to see the city
i went to see it around you
we can laugh in hell together
the devil will find you to

nose to nose
eyes on the clouds
this is what i said
we never never end

nose to nose
eyes on the clouds
this is what i said
we never never end

i saw the sea come in
i saw your good old friend
he walked right passed
i'll never ask, i'll never ask again

 


Baby's Romance

The baby’s sleeping in the crib up top
And baby’s sleeping above you
You will lift him to the parking lot
Your car is waiting there for you
Your car is waiting there for you

I would like to see a little more propriety,
Cooperate with me and answer me
Without a plea.

I know now, I know now, I know now,
I’m gonna tell on you.
I know now, I know now, I know now,
I’m never gonna tell on you.

The whiskey’s waiting on the firetop,
The baby’s going to drink too.
The lady’s got no clothes she’s at the shop.
But if she’d knew then she’d kill you.
The bugs are out cause they come out at night,
Usually they just bite our hands.
Cause normally we have clothes on without a fight,
But now fighting’s a part of baby’s romance.
But now fighting’s a part of baby’s romance.

I would like to see a little more propriety,
Cooperate with me and answer me
Without a plea.

I know now, I know now, I know now,
I’m gonna tell on you.
I know now, I know now, I know now,
I’m never gonna tell on you.

Baby sleeps I can scrape your flower pots.
And baby’s sleeping against you.
I think he’d pray for an old motor car.
Or any bed made without you.
Or any bed made without you.

I would like to see a little more propriety,
Cooperate with me and answer me
Without a plea.
I would like to see a little more propriety,
Cooperate with me and answer me
Without a plea.

 

Castle Time

men doing men thing times
chewing candy and tabacco lines
drinkin heart puned pints
tossing nikels and dimes

their lookin for an exit signs
their lookin for a lucky night
the darken and boring ryhmes
damn their keeping up old times

my teacher died, even the frying pan cried,
rain fell slowly according to caslte-time,
i was only nine

i lookin for an exit signs
i was lookin for a lucky night
and my darken and boring ryhmes
well face it were living in war times

lets cry about you
lets cry about you, you cant
cry about you

dont be embaressed
i'wont laugh at you

the river flows north and wines
travelling south you head wind time
the passers by are not kind
but the sky is sublime

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
