Whatever gets you through the night
That's all right with me
When it's time to say goodbye
I have to make you see

You won't know me
I won't call you
I won't be there
To remind you
What you told me
When i showed you
In the morning
Let me know you'll

Drive back to your old town
I wanna wake up with no-one around
Drive back to your old town.

If somebody
Is haunting your mind
Look in my eyes
Let me hide you
From yourself and
All your old friends
Every good thing
Comes to an end.

Drive back, drive back, drive back.

Drive back to your old town
I wanna wake up with no-one around
Drive back to your old town.

Don't cry no tears around me
Don't cry no tears around me
'cause when all the water's gone
The feeling lingers on
Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me.

Well i wonder who's with her tonight?
And i wonder who's holding her tight?
But there's nothing i can say
To make him go away
Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me.

There's nothing i can say
To make him go away
Old true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me
Don't cry no tears around me.

If i could hold on to just one thought
For long enough to know
Why my mind is moving so fast
And the conversation is slow.
Burn off all the fog
And let the sun through to the snow
Let me see your face again
Before i have to go.

I have seen you in the movies
And in those magazines at night
I saw you on the barstool when
You held that glass so tight.
And i saw you in my nightmares
But i'll see you in my dreams
And i might live a thousand years
Before i know what that means.

Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths
His life was filled with parasites
And countless idle threats.
He trusted in a woman
And on her he made his bets
Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths.

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun.

On the shore lay montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
With the secrets of the worlds.

And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see.

And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on.

Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones.

They carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way
But they built up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today.

And i know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how i lost my way.

He came dancing across the water
Cortez, cortez
What a killer.

I've been looking for a lover
But i haven't met her yet
She'll be nothing like i pictured her to be
In her eyes i will discover
Another reason why
I want to live and make the best of what i see.

Where the sun hits the water
And the mountains meet the sand
There's a beach that i walk along sometimes
And maybe there i'll meet her
And we'll start to say 'hello'
And never stop to think of any other time.

Looking' for a love that's right for me
I don't know how long it's going to be
But i hope i treat her kind
And don't mess with her mind
When she starts to see the darker side of me.
