Use Your Illusion II

Yesterday, there was so many things I was never told
Now that I'm startin' to learn I feel I'm growing old

'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Time just fades the pages in my book of memories
Prayers in my pocket and no hand in destiny
I'll keep on movin' along with no time to plant my feet

'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Some things could be better if we'd all just let them be

Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Got nothin' for me

Yesterday, there was so many things I was never shown
Suddenly this time I found, I'm on the streets and I'm all alone

Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties

Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday

Yesterday

If we could see tomorrow what of your plans
No one can live in sorrow, ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride, they're back in demand
I was the one who's washing blood off your hands

Don't you cry tonight, I still love you baby, don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

I know the things you wanted, they're not what you have
With all the people talkin', it's drivin' you mad
If I was standin' by you, how would you feel
Knowing your love's decided and all love is real

And don't you cry tonight, don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight there's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

I thought I could live in your world as years all went by
With all the voices I've heard something has died
And when you're in need of someone, my heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely with no one left to cry to baby

And don't you cry tonight and don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry, don't you ever cry, don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday, don't you cry, don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight

We all come in from the cold, we come down from the wire
An everybody warms themselves to a different fire
When sometimes we get burned, you'd think sometime we'd learn
The one you love is the one that should take you higher
You ain't got no one, you better go back out and find her

Just like children hidin' in a closet, can't tell what's goin' on outside
Sometimes we're so far off the beaten track, we'll get taken for a ride
By a parlor trick or some words of wit, a hidden hand up a sleeve
To think that the one you love could hurt you now is a little hard to believe
But everybody darlin' sometimes bites the hand that feeds

When I look around everybody always brings me down
Well is it them or me, well I just can't see
But there ain't no peace to found
But if someone really cared, well they'd take the time to spare
A moment to try and understand, another one's despair
Remember in this game we call life that no one said it's fair

Breakdown, let me hear it now
Breakdonw, let me hear it now, yeah
Breakdown, let me hear it now
Breakdown, let me hear it now
Get down with yo' bad self, alright

I've come to know the cold, I think of it as home
When there ain't enough of me to go around I'd rather be left alone
But if I call you out of habit, I'm out of love and I gotta have it
Would you give it to me if I fit you needs
Like when we both knew we had it
But now the damage's done and we're back out on the run
Fun how ev'rything was roses, ehen we held on to the guns
Just because you're winnin' don't mean you're the lucky ones

Breakdown, let me hear it now
Breakdown, yeah
Breakdown, breakdown, let me hear it now

"There goes the challenger being chased by the blue blue meanies on wheels
The vicious traffic squad cars are after our lone driver
The last American hero, the-the electric sintar, the demi-god
The super driver of the golden west
Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful lone driver
The police cars are getting closer-closer
Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile, yeah baby
They about to strike, they gonna get him, smash, rape
The last beautiful free soul on this planet
But, it is writen if the Evil Spirit arms the Tiger with claws
Brahman provided wings for the Dove, thus spake the Super Guru"
"Did you hear that"

The Perils of Rock n' Roll Decadence

I know this chick she lives down on Melrose
She ain't satisfied without some pain
Friday night is goin' up inside her, again
Well crack the whip, 'cause that bitch is just insane, I'm serious

She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her
She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
I can't tell you she's the right one, oh no, oh no, oh no

Once there was this rock n' roll band rollin' on the streets
Time went by and it became a joke
We just needed more and more fulfilling, uh-huh
Time went by and it all went up in smoke
But check it out

She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her
She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
Oh, I can't tell you she's the right one, oh no, oh no, oh no

Once you made that money it costs more now
It might cost a lot more than you'd think
I just found a million dollars that someone forgot
It's days like this that push me over the brinks, cool and stressing

She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her
She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
And I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh she's the right one, she's the right one

Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend and our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give

I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all
But oh the taste is never so sweet as what you'd believe it is
Well I guess it never is
I's these prejudiced illusions that pump the blood to the heart of the biz

You know I never thought that it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me but I feel as though you raped me
'Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs
So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
But how can I forget you or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes time to forgive

Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago
You know I'd like to hurt you but my conscience always tells me no
You could sell your body on the street to anyone whom you might meet
Who'd love to try and get inside and bust your innocence open wide

'Cause my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane, take a closer look I'm not to blame, no

Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour 'cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy for he's a man
Sweetheart don't make me laugh, you's gettin' too big for your pants
And I's think maybe you should cut out while you can

You can use you illusion, let it take you where it may
We live and learn and then sometimes it's best to walk away
Me I'm just here hangin' on, it's my only place to stay
At least for now anyway I've worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away

I'm taking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that's passed away
I know it's never easy, so why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
'Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page

Kindness is a treasure and it's one towards me you've seldom shown
So I'll say it for good measure to all the ones like you I've known
Ya know I'd like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red
'Cause love to me's a two way street and all I really want is peace

But my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive, got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane, take a closer look I'm not to blame, no

Affection is a blessing can you find it in your sordid heart
I tried to keep this thing ta-gether, but the tremor tore my pad apart
Yeah I know it's hard to face when all we've worked for's gone to waste
But you're such a stupid woman and I'm such a stupid man
But love like time's got its own plans

'Cause my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive, got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane, take a closer look I'm not to blame, yeah
If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane

Love's so strange

Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

"You just better start sniffin' your own rank subjugation, jack
'Cause it's just you against your tattered libido, the bank and the mortician
forever man and it wouldn't be luck if you could get out of life alive"

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
