Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone.They make it hard to leave you alone.Leave you here wearing your woundsWaving your guns at somebody new. Baby you're lostBaby you're lostBaby you're a lost cause. There's too many people you used to knowThey see you coming, they see you go.They know your secrets, and you know theirsThis town is crazy, but nobody cares. Baby you're lostBaby you're lostBaby you're a lost cause. I'm tired of fightin'I'm tired of fightin'Fighting for a lost cause There's a place where you are goingYou ain't never been beforeThere's no one laughing at your back nowNo one standing at your doorIs that what you thought love was for? Baby you're lost Baby you're lostBaby you're a lost cause I'm tired of fightingI'm tired of fightingFighting for a lost cause.

Time wears away All the pleasures of the day All the treasures you could hold Days turn to sand Losing strength in every hand They can't hold you anymore Already dead to me now Already dead to me now 'Cause it feels like I'm watching something dyin' Love looks away In the harsh light of the day On the edge of nothing more Days fade to black In the light of what they lack Nothing's measured by what it needs Already dead to me now Already dead to me now 'Cause it feels like I'm watching something dyin'

Haven't got a lot to learn And my eyes they stray again Looking for a satellite In the rays of heaven again There's no other ending Sunday sun Yesterday is ending Sunday sun Jealous minds walk in a line And their faces jade the strain Stranded in infinity rooms And they're safe from any harm There's no other ending Sunday sun Yesterdays are mending Sunday sun

Go to sleep We're so tired now Altogether in a snake pit of souls New days To throw your chains away To try to hang your hopes on the wind Little one Just a little way Today all you need is waiting Night rise Like the evening prize In a turnstile backwards we fly Cold bones Tied together by Black ropes we pulled from a swing Little one Just a little way Today all of the dreams are waking Can't stand on crooked legs I'm cross-eyed to the wall In these harbor lights Satellites explode Drown, drown Sailors run aground In a seachange nothing is safe Strange waves Push us every way In a stolen boat we'll float away Little one Just a little way Today all we need is waiting Little one Just a little way Today all of the dreams are waking Little one Hold on All of the dreams are waking

Something better than this Someplace I'd like to go To let all I've learned Tell me what I know About the kind of life I never thought I'd live Till the ugly truth Showed me what it did Let it pass on the side of the road What a friend could tell me now On a borrowed dime In different light You might see what The other side looks like In a random room Behind an iron door Kick an empty can Across an empty floor Let it pass on the side of the road What a friend could tell me now

When I called you in the morning You were struggling for sense You were journeying through memories so vicious You made all your dying wishes Come true But I know you're gonna try To live without love by and by But that's not living That's just time going by Going by, my love Another ship in the bottle Has got no place to sail To see the waves getting darker every hour The stars have lost their power In the sky But I know you're gonna try To live without love by and by But that's not livin' That's just time going by Going by, my love

Can't you hear those cavalry drumsHijacking your equilibriumMidnight snacks in the mausoleumWhere the pixilated doctors moanCarnivores in the Kowloon nightBreathing freon by the candlelightCoquettes bitch slap you so politeTill you thank themFor the tea and sympathy I want to defyThe logic of all sex lawsLet the handcuffs slip off your wristsI'll let you be my chaperoneAt the halfway homeI'm a full grown manBut I'm not afraid to cry Neptune's lips taste like fermented winePerfumed blokes on the Ginza lineRunning buck wild like a concubineWho's mother never held her handBrief encounters in Mercedes BenzWearing hepatitis contact lensBed and breakfast getaway weekendsWith Sports Illustrated moms I want to defyThe logic of all sex lawsLet the handcuffs slip off your wristsI'll let you be my chaperoneAt the halfway homeI'm a full grown manBut I'm not afraid to cry
