There's a down town corner People down town know And a back beat rhythm on the radio And the girl who listens to a young man's song On the block I live
Georgia, you know that you've been on my mind Georgia, we both learned to compromise I'll be there for you When everybody's coming unglued I'll be there
For all the love we've made Just one thing stays the same The lamp gets dusty The pipes get rusty But I don't want to wash my hands clean You say you
The earth is shaking under siege And every breath will meet its fate Still we hunger for a moment of freedom Even though the hour is late I find hope
We sit secure in time-honored traditions made Never wondering where or when the sickle may come If we don't seek our knowledge to be greater men When
On the third floor of the hotel there's a pregnant Flamenco dancer In the bathtub with a razor and she's planning her great escape In a way she's giving
Gone astray we find ourselves Right on the edge of falling apart Don't you see it's in our ways When something's done wrong, we just go along It lights
I'm blind with eyes wide open My body's tired and broken I want a taste of something, that doesn't leave me dry This hope for answered questions As rare
I sit here by myself Just staring into space I thought I knew you well Well who can ever say It seems I've spent so long I can't define my right from
Waiting up all night There's something on my mind I need to tell you why He's playing you for a fool He's fooling 'round on you And I just lost my cool
Are you falling asleep at the wheel Maybe there is a feeling, you've been brushing off Asking reason, what's left for me here Well he's all out of answers
I am, taking a chance Walking with my laces loose Wrapped up, taking the maze That everybody's running through I'm sick of, black tie Nickel and dime
of them tall And everyone must make a choice Will I go for it all, and possibly fall The tightrope is thin I could possibly win on the walk Well high on the walk
You say you want to kill yourself It might make it just a little bit easier You think you're the only one who hurts Try looking just a little bit harder
She wakes and takes her place in line And never bothers asking why the mirror sheds no light at all The days turn into lesser days until there's only
There?s a down town corner People down town know And a beat rhythm on the radio And the girl who listens to a young mans song On the block I live on In
For all the love we made Just one thing stays the same The lamp gets dusty, the pipes get rusty But I don't wanna wash my hands clean You say you love
