put your hands on the wheellet the golden age beginlet the window downfeel the moonlight on your skinlet the desert wind cool your aching headlet the weight of the world drift away instead (ohh)these days i barely get byi don't even try it's a treacherous road with a desolated viewthere's distant lights but here they're far and fewand the sun don't shine even when it's dayyou gotta drive all night just to feel like you're okay (ohh)these days i barely get byi don't even tryi don't even try

Just like a paper tigerTorn apart by idle handsThrough the helter skelter morningFix yourself while you still can No more ashes to ashesNo more cinders from the skyLet all the laws of creationTell a dead man how to die Oh deserts down below usAnd storms up aboveLike a stray dog gone defectiveLike a paper tiger in the sun Looking through a broken diamondTo make the past what it should beThrough the ruins and the weatherCapsized boats in the sea Oh deserts down below usAnd storms up aboveLike a stray dog gone defectiveLike a paper tiger in the sun We're just holding on to nothingTo see how long nothing lasts Oh deserts down below usAnd storms up aboveLike a stray dog gone defectiveLike a paper tiger in the sun There's one road to the morningThere's one road to the truthThere's one road back to civilizationBut there's no road back to you

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.

We don't have to worryLife goes where it doesFaster than a bulletFrom an empty gun Turn yourself overLoose change we could spendGrinding down diamondsRound round round the bendRound round round the bend People pushing harderUp against themselvesmake their daggers sharperthan their faces tell Babe, it's your time nowLoose change we could spendWhere we are goingRound round round the bendRound round round the bend

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
