12. Where Will You Go
It's four a.m., I'm drunk and alone
Trying to call you on a public phone
I wanted passion, I wanted desire
My heart is a flame that pains me
If I do not light it on fire
If I do not light it on fire!
...
...
I'm the perfect picture of a perfect fool
You're out doing what I wanted you to
I'm in the heartbreak hotel and there's a desk clerk for hire
My heart is a flame that pains me
If I do not light it on fire
(Chorus)
How can I tell you
Just how it feels
How do you make love stay
And how do you know if what's staying is real
I was the one full of whiskey and talk
I was the one with the skip in his walk
You say the truth hurts, yeah well, so does a liar
My heart is a flame that pains me
If I do not light it on fire
(Chorus)
(top)
My house is your house, your friends used to be ours
And when I go to sleep at night, I keep wondering if she’s sleeping now
I try not to kid myself, this time maybe we’re through
Try to run away, but I keep running
Try to run away, but I keep running
Try to run away, but I keep running into you
In other places, seeing the ghost of your face
Its even in the furnature that I bought for my brand new place
I live in an apartment now but there’s room enough for two
Chorus
Everytime I see you now it feels like I’m pretending
We can be together somehow, lovers more than friends
Now when I see you, take you out for a date
You hardly said a word when You said, "baby its getting too late"
You’ve got to go to work too soon so where are you taking me now?
Chorus

Girl with a fever she’s hot to the touch
looks so fragile to the rest of us
She’s gone gone gone, gone gone gone, long gone
Blue cotton dress and her soft blonde hair
Waking up wondering how I ever got there
She’s gone gone gone, gone gone gone, long gone
We used to count the hours we’d be kissing
Watch the beads of sweat drip, my body’s glistening
Once she was sleeping under the desert sky
Dreaming of leaving on the fourth of July
She’s gone gone gone, gone gone gone, long gone
Sent the postcard addressed to me
Sun set bathing on a catus tree
She’s gone gone gone, gone gone gone, long gone
We used to count the hours we’d be kissing
Watch the beads of sweat drip, my body’s glistening
Girl with a fever she’s hot to the touch
Looks so fragile to the rest of us
She’s gone gone gone, gone gone gone, long gone.

Well I used to keep my money in a cookie jar
It was shaped like a cat, it was a present from my mother
I read a lot of books but I couldn’t see between the lines
I’ll have another cup of coffee if you don’t mind
Well her hair is as black as an alleyway
and it used to be red and it used to be blonde
Truth is her hair changes color all the time
I’ll have another cup of coffee if you don’t mind
Well I’m staring at the shoulder when it’s not what I see
When I hear two fellas fighting in the group across from me
So I wipe away the ashes from an empty kind of a seat
And I wish I wasn’t home sleep, I wish I was asleep
Well I hold her like a blanket up against my chin
And I need her like I need another pack of chewing gum
We used to be like that, but now we’re like this all the time
I’ll have another cup of coffee if you don’t mind
I’ll have another cup of coffee if you don’t mind
I’ll have another cup of coffee if you don’t mind
(top)
Well this blood was meant for bleeding
And this flesh was meant for eating
This love is all my hopes and dreams
All my prayers were answered
I’m just a lonely dancer
This love isn’t always what it seems
Thats why I walk among the angels
Fly like a dove
Roll through the heavens and throught the stars up above
Walk among the angels
Right through the clouds
Talk to the children and sing to the crowds, oh yeah
Well the devil makes me do
And theres really nothing to it
Remembering what we forget to say
The world in which we stand on is like someone we lean on
Tomorrow can be just like today
Chorus
Come in and be seated because I never will repeat it
Remembering what we forget to say
The world in which we stand on is like someone we lean on
Tomorrow can be just like today
Chorus
(top)
One cigarette I will remember, mixed with scent of her perfume
And if I don’t go out at night its because the stars remind me of you
One tune I never should have danced to, one I wish that I told the truth
And if I don’t look up at the sky, its because the stars remind me of you
And if you think of me, please be kind
And if you speak of me, say that you once were mine
I thought that wiskey claims the guilty, so I’ve been howling at the moon
Drink til I’m blind most every night, because the stars remind me of you
One cigarette I will remember, mixed with the scent of her perfume
And if I don’t go out at night its because the stars remind me of you
(top)
Its enough to make you bleed & its enough to make you drunk
Its enough to make you see and its enough to make you hurt
Standing around, you don’t sound
You got to show the wasted
Because its a rose on fire
Empty all your guns, give it all you’ve got
She’s a rose on fire and she always wants to burn
Its enough to make steal, shes enough to steal your heart away
Its enough to make you see
and its enough to make you feel like
Standing in the air, laughing fair
You got to show the wasted
Because your the rose on fire
Empty all your guns, give it all you’ve got
Rose on fire, she’s a rose on fire, and she always wants to burn
(top)
I’m shivering in the shadow of the tracks in which you stand
The eyes that stare me down send me to sleep a happy man
But I could take advantage of your smile
If I were just a cruel and selfish child
The wind outside your window blows a cold and chilly frost
While counting all the friendships I have won or I have lost
But words not found and deeds will soon be notched
If I loose this battle with myself I fought
Because its a long long time, for you to remember
And its a lot to ask, the things that I do
And its a long long time, from May to December
Any little bit, any little bit, will do
Your voice is warm and worried anyplace that you are near
You seem to say the things right now I really need to hear
But anything you say is written down
And anything you do is held account
Chorus
They know about the troubles
and they know about the songs that we’ve been singing
They’ll never know the secrets, that i keep
Dreaming of a party that I give where no one goes
The one’s who say they’ll come will be the one’s who are last to show
I pray and beg that I’m not left behind
So let me stand right here and watch you shine!
Chorus

Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step no more
Baby, Baby got done wrong
Baby, Baby got done wrong
Baby, Baby got done wrong
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step no more
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step no more
Now I’m standing middle of a dance floor
Standing middle of a dance floor
Standing middle of a dance floor
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step no more
Cajun French Stuff
Maggie don’t two-step no more!
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step no more

I got no reason for the things I fear
the things that plague me when I see and hear
A dime’s a nickel and a nickel’s none
I’ll throw myself into the Sunday sun
A summer Sunday when you went insane
You said you’re going and I said I came
Throwing oranges in an apple cart
The ties that bind are tearing me apart
Jenny Says, turn off the radio
Jenny Says, turn off the light
Jenny Says, turn off the video
You beat yourself up, to bring yourself down
let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
When the world is coming down I let go
I got no reason for the things I say
She turned toward me then she turned away
Lots of forces in a modern world
That take a toll upon a modern girl
I got no reason for the things I fear
The thingss that plague me when I see and hear
Press my finger on an itchy trigger
What once was small right now is so much bigger
Chorus
I got no reason for the things I do
The dealer deals and then the dealer’s screwed
You throw your cards upon a playing table
My name is Cain and I am now Unable
Chorus
(top)
I’m a son of an engineer, I’m a son of an engineer
He’s gambled all he’s made, from every life he saves
Can’t let the devil by his side
I’m the son of an driving rain, I’m the son of an driving rain
When it comes it pours, I hide behind his doors
And when its safe unlock the doors and pray
I’m the son of a great pretender, I’m the son of a great pretender
Pretending life is not real, cos I’ve got a heart of steel
Pretending home is closer than it feels
I don’t roam, because I wait
and I go anywhere, and theres just one thing I always must remember
I will always be the son of an engineer
The devil rides in a black car, the devil rides in a black car
In ? I have paid, for all the moves I’ve made
Walked for every inch within the mile
I’m the son of an engineer, I’m the son of an engineer
Whoohoo
(top)
Did you think the world would shrink and did you belive it
That you’d one day hold it in your tiny hands
Did you know your heart would grow til I could see it
No matter where you are how far from you I am
Where will you go? what will you say?
Everytime the moonlight shines you want to play
Where will you go? what will you say?
Everytime you look inside, your going to be suprised in the usual way
Did you think you tend to cry to fright off the breezes
that the wind would someday whisper in your ear
Once your secrets are told to the rivers and trees
well you would find me one day waiting there to hear
Chorus
