In search of desperate news, set a passage clear, nothing else will do, carry heartache home, it might cost us dear, drag it all alone, nothing left to rue, a course for different jeers, ones we thought we knew, if this makes you groan, think what else you fear, no matter what the tone, there’ll be other rules, to bring a vision near, golden domes unused, take another loan, put perfume on your ears, on such paths we're born, food instead of gruel, prayers instead of tears, no need to be cruel, ride the bitter years.

Don’t look at me girl, I'm shaping up to leave, are you scared, shoals of tuna dart away, can't you see, they’re frightened of the Marlin, I can’t share the hurt, your song of the sea, don’t really belong here, you say always too late, as if you need, to make me feel great, worry when I slur, know what might have been, as if you really care, won't kneel down to pray, for a kind of ease, nights I'm off the rails, is it my grey hair, do I need new teeth, will hope get me there, do I have to plead?

Stevie Three

Keep an eye on trains, your body turned to stone, let them show the way, forget what's on your mind, it’s all about your soul, you're not the lonely kind, crying makes you play, a song all your own, hands reach towards your face, don't take fright, or plead like a dope, for any stray you find, rub against the grain, stay out there alone, don't care about the freight, your tunes make them smile, when they’re far from home, stops the fear inside, this railroad’s always late, all your life's on show, nothing has to change, just keep going.

Stevie Two

When you want to phone, that airport is no Calabar, love is just a joke, a trail we all use, searching near and far, as life circles 'round us, Saints reveal their bones, they leave the door ajar, can't do passion alone, we don't need a feud, at some crowded bar, to know what to do, we won't drink alone, our heads going la la, we'll be right home, head for the blue, wave to our lucky star, have another few, not a very promising start, safe within some credit zone, what’s inside us nearly gone, now listen to your father.

Stevie

Don't pray in the rain, or swear upon your mother, stuff you can't fake, hope you can use, costs that you smother, places without refuge, see that portrait, of a wounded trooper, it’s got your name, whatever you choose, don't curse or bother, who pays the dues, whisky fires the brain, good men live without trouble, then run away, no book or dawn curfew, makes you a brother, despite all the feuds, gains that you'll make, seek as a lover, spirits of the freeway, they won’t mask thunder.

Jennifer Three

If I warm my toes, around your fire, why start to deny, that what you lose, for many a lie, is lost on my excuses, a chance to show, on dancing wires, that I can grow, am not just the fool, who plays for the time, runs with other fools, no more than now, what is made right, by these holy vows, my blood's smoky blue, why do you require, to know what’s true, I'm getting old, don't need a sign, to live without windows, or drink your wine.

Jennifer Two

Your eyes shine too late, in rooms where no one goes, champagne cognac to chase, forget how much we blew, kick the need to show, steer away from news, we’re always just too late, paying off the loan, tackle what remains, you never seem to rue, the way we’ve been let down, no longer part of you, why worry without the gain, at supper hide your groans, whistle off your pain, say it’s all a ruse, a dream of yesterday, no such part of you, wouldn't it be great, to live our life abroad, throw out all the hate, live it on the blow.
