 Brave & Crazy » Lyrics [+ Lisätä +] |
1. _ You Used To Love To Dance
Lying in a city night
A million fingers tingling my skin
Out thee in the sea tonight
I thought i saw you clutching your sin
You rolled me over long ago
And told me you were strong enough to go
You needed more than this lover's dream
You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life
In your life
We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every saturday night
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance
They told me you have found your love
You moved in locked up and put out your blues
Well all god's children got to grow up
And play house make vows to hang up their shoes
Do you sit and talk over coffee cups
Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up
I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss
You couldn't keep the lies the adrenalin bliss in your life
In your life
We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every saturday night
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance
I'm gonna go out tonight
I'm gonna drive up to the hill
I'm gonna dive on into those city lights
And i'm gonna dance, dance
Dance till i get my fill
We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every saturday night
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance

2. _ Let Me Go
Am i the snake inside your garden
The sugar in your tea
The knock upon your back door
The twist that turns your key
Am i the sweat you feel on your head
The shadow on your face
The tune inside your head that put you here in the first place
Well i don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be your sweet temptation
I don't want to be your new sensation
It's just a delicate distraction
With just a hint of satisfaction
Look me in the eye and let me know
If you can't love me that let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Do you try to stay suspended
In your deepest fantasy
After night has ended
The scent of mystery
The power of suggestion
Tangles up your soul
A neutral state between love and hate
Is bound to take its toll
Well i don't think you know
I don't think you know
I don't think you know about the screaming
You don't understand the meaning
You could trade it in for laughter
To keep your happy ever after
Look me in the eye and let me know
If you can't love me then let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Baby in your ivory tower
Do you sleep tight dream fight
Baby does it wet your appetite
Maybe in your darkest hour
Am i the keeper of your beast
Well i don't want to be
I don't want to be
So let me go
Let me go

3. _ Testify
Morning's hard coffee's cold
Pretending that the days mean more than getting old
Stale headlines other drenched in pride
Marching to their drum with fear standing beside
But if i close my eyes and throw back my head
I can see his face and i hear the words he said
And my memories ache and my senses burn
Did he dream too late will we ever learn
I, i want to testify
My love still lives and breathes
And my soul is screaming why
The thoughts won't let me sleep
Don't let hearts break
And don't let children cry
Before it gets too late
I want to testify
I take what's said as my daily dread
I turn the page and i turn my head
I pick i choose on the evening news
Cause by cause they fight and one by one they lose
Must i live my days in these concrete ways
Will the fire break through this smokey haze
And i swear tonight i'm gonna find that place
It's not the love that dies but the understanding ways
I, i want to testify
My love still lives and breathes
And my soul is screaming why
The thoughts won't let me sleep
Don't let hearts break
And don't let children cry
Before it gets too late
I want to testify
Rip through the wire that screens in my window
Throw open the shade that covers my mind
I'm going to touch i've got to believe
The bell tolls for me
I, i want to testify
My love still lives and breathes
And my soul is screaming why
The thoughts won't let me sleep
Don't let hearts break
And don't let children cry
Before it gets too late
I want to testify

4. _ My Back Door
When i was a child
I dreamed like a child of wonder
With my back in the grass
My eyes to the sky to see
I believed in the stars
I knew they cast a spell that i was under
With my fingers in the dirt
I was part of the earth
Every living thing was part of me
But it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, gone
I can't feel it
I can't feel it
Must've found a way out my back door
Must've run away out my back door
Because it's gone, gone, gone
Then i fell in love
Love gave me a shot of pure desire
There was nothing else like this
This unimagined bliss this ecstasy
Deep inside the night
I believed i saw the light ignite a fire
And it burned into the dark
It burned deep inside my heart
I thought it would burn eternally
But it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, gone
I can't feel it
I can't feel it
Must've found a way out my back door
Must've run away out my back door
Because it's gone, gone, gone
So i run into the street
And i'm shouting into the phone
Asking everyone i meet
I say have you seen it on my doorstep
Did you see it in my car
Have you seen it in the alley
Was it on the back of some guitar
Is it sleeping in the hallway
Does it cry all night alone
Is it selling itself for money
Does it want, does it want to come home

5. _ The Angels
Sometimes i feel like an innocent one
To deserve this fate what i have i ever done
I know that i made all the rules
But time can even change the hopeless ways of fools
I love you tonight like i did yesterday
I won't think of tomorrow or the price i pay
I drink from the well my soul is dry
I never know why
All i want is for your love to be all mine
But the angels won't have it
All i want is just a little peace of mind
But the angels won't have it
I thought i had a piece of my soul left to sell
I guess it's just as well
'cause the angels won't have it
Who's looking after this see-through heart
Someone up there isn't doing their part
Oh cupid you foolish boy
You should take better aim with your brand new toy
I love you tonight like i did yesterday
I don't think of tomorrow or the price i pay
I drink from the well my soul is dry
I never know why
All i want is for your love to be all mine
But the angels won't have it
All i want is just a little peace of mind
But the angels won't have it
I thought i had a piece of my soul left to sell
I guess it's just as well
'cause the angels won't have it
So if i die before i wake
The innocent one whose heart could never break
Lift me up take me out of this bed
Watching the angels shake their heads
Don't feel sorry for me baby honey don't you cry
You can sell all of my clothes you will forget me by and by
I'll be riding that train i'll be singing that song
But i won't be gone for long
'cause the angels won't have it
All i want is for your love to be all mine
But the angels won't have it
All i want is just a little peace of mind
But the angels won't have it
I thought i had a piece of my soul left to sell
I guess it's just as well
'cause the angels won't have it

6. _ Skin Deep
I ain't asking you to keep no secrets
My reputation already shot
I ain't asking you to commit treason
Just tell me if you like it or not
Like it or not baby that's they way i want it to be
Don't give your heart and soul
My love is only skin deep
I'll give you my time and money
I'll give you somewhere to sleep
But don't ask me for my heart and soul
My love is only skin deep
My love is only skin deep
My love is only skin deep
I ain't looking for no blue-eyed lover
That's what stole my baby away
I can see your eyes are darker than midnight
And that's the time that i want to play
I want to play baby that's they way i want it to be
Don't give me your heart and soul
My love is only skin deep
I'll give you my time and money
I'll give you somewhere to sleep
But don't ask me for my heart and soul
My love is only skin deep
My love is only skin deep
My love is only skin deep
I'll give you my time and money
I'll give you somewhere to sleep
But don't ask me for my heart and soul
My love is only skin deep
My love is only skin deep
My love is only skin deep

7. _ Royal Station 4/16
It's so hard to listen to these trains
Outside my window here it comes again
And it's calling me begging me
Follow me down the track
And it moans so dark and low
Baby ain't comin' back
I refuse to believe
It could happen to me and you
It's lonesome and it's hard and it's true
It got this whiskey to take care of my lips
I got these long cool steel strings
At my fingertips
I ain't got nothing to soothe my aching soul
Except this screeching and screaming iron
To tell me where i ought to go
I refuse to believe
It could happen to me and you
It's lonesome and it's hard and it's true
I hear the train sigh
And idle down below
Why your love is so sweet and while
Is something i'll never know
It sounds like crying
It sounds like letting go
Breathing and lying
Sinking and dying slow
And i watch from my window
Touching the cold glass sky
As the train rolls down the track
I say goodbye

8. _ No Souvenirs
Hello, hello this is romeo
Calling from a jackpot telephone
Shame, shame but i love your name
And the way you make the buffalo roam
Oh fly, fly i guess this is goodbye
Oh you packed up your heart
And you left no souvenirs
But if you want me you can call me
In the night you know where i'll be
Broken lover you can touch me
In the dark the innocent can't see
You lock it up now hide the key
It would mean surrender to let me see
Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover
You fell alone like no other lover
Burn the pictures break the records
Run far away to a northern town
Sell your fear and leave me standing here
With no souvenirs
Once, twice i thought it might be nice
To come into your kitchen and play
Cool, cool just a crazy fool
I never saw it any other way
Oh wait, wait i guess i'm just too late
Oh you made up your mind
Love shouldn't be so hard
But if you want me you can call me
In the night you know where i'll be
Broken lover you can touch me
In the dark the innocent can't see
You lock it up now hide the key
It would mean surrender to let me see
Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover
You fell alone like no other lover
Burn the pictures break the records
Run far away to a northern town
Sell your fear and leave me standing here
With no souvenirs
No shirts, no shoes
No jackets, no blues
You car's for sale
You forward your mail
You're growing your hair
You don't want to know where
I'm calling you from
Or how come
But if you want me you can call me
In the night you know where i'll be
Broken lover you can touch me
In the dark the innocent can't see
You lock it up now hide the key
It would mean surrender to let me see
Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover
You fell alone like no other lover
Burn the pictures break the records
Run far away to a northern town
Sell your fear and leave me standing here
With no souvenirs

9. _ Brave And Crazy
If i could have my way
I'd be sleeping in the alley
On a couch with a friend and a bottle of gin
If i could have my way
I'd be runnin' with the circus
I would be taming all the lions
There'd be no denying i was brave and crazy
If i could have my way
I wouldn't be dreaming, scheming, screaming
Oooh, what am i gonna do
About you
I wishes were horses
This beggar would ride
I'd have my cake and eat it
With a little on the side
I'd never want for money
I'd never want for friends
I wouldn't have to make excuses for the shape that i'm in
Shaking and crazy
Before i saw your eyes
I was in control of my soul on the whole
Oooh, what am i gonna do
About you
Cool as a rule
I wouldn't play nobody's fool
But i keep on talking
Made in the shade
I had a perfect cue to fade
But i keep on walking
If i could have my way
I'd check out right now
I'd say out to lunch honey thanks a bunch
It wouldn't work out anyhow
But this desire's too much
It's rented out my brain
It's showing previews of your body
Driving me insane
And that's crazy
So all that i can do
Is to beg, plead, won't you tell me please
What am i gonna do
About you

10. _ You Can Sleep While I Drive
Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
There's a chill in my bones
I don't want to be left alone
So baby you can sleep while i drive
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket i'll carry my harp
I got some money i saved
Enough to get underway
And baby you can sleep while i drive
We'll go thorough tucson up to santa fe
And barbara in nashville says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you glasses in texas a hat from new orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams
You know i've seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
You've been looking for something
That's not in your life
My intentions are true
Won't you take me with you
And baby you can sleep while i drive
Oh is it other arms you want to
Hold you the stranger
The lover you're free
Can't you get that with me
Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
If you won't take me with you
I'll go before night is through
And baby you can sleep while i drive
