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

Haven't you heard, I'm shaping to leave, are you scared, shoals of dreams spin away, can't you see, they’re frightened of the day, I can’t share your hurt, that song of the sea, doesn’t really fit here, say It’s not too late, as if I need, to make you feel great, you tut when I slur, know the might have beens, as if you care, I won't need to pray, for some kind of ease, nights off the rails, with unwashed hair, I need to bleach, will hope get us there, will other beliefs?

Keep an eye for trains, your body cold as stone, let me show the way, forget what's on your mind, this’s about your soul, you're not the lonely kind, crying makes you create, a song all your own, hands across your face, don't take fright, or fall like a dope, for any bum you find, go against the grain, stay out there alone, don't worry about the freight, your tune makes them smile, when they’re far from home, stems the fear inside, this railroad’s always late, all your life’s on show, nothing has to change, sing it like you know.

When you want to phone, don’t kick the can too far, love is just a joke, trials are all we use, clinging to the spar, flames dance like fugues, Saints reveal their bones, then leave the door ajar, they have passion alone, we don't need a feud, at some crowded bar, to know what to do, drink and foam, our tongues going Ga Ga, we have no home, head for the blue, wave at the stars, get someone else’s view, ours is a part-time start, salted on the blow, other stuff departs, we circle in the zone

We share jokes and put, hopes on those disappeared, geese rise among the just, no one owns a crown, to be ushered in here, put others down, those of us fussed, we'll always hold dear, forget what's been lost, in our Ocean town, everyone else is clear, there is no sound, someone to trust, who walks like the deer, with no trace of musk, the one with the show, brushes away fear, says you’re never alone, laughs at failing years, each night is a must, to bathe in happy tears, dance before the dusk.

My eyes shine dominate, in rooms where flowers grow, champagne cognac women to chase, wads of cash we blew, still the need to know, keeps us from the news, we’re always just too late, picking up the ‘phone, to live with what remains, we never seem to use, how we spent the dough, it’s no longer our perfume, why worry about the grains, at supper chide the groans, whistle off our pain, say it’s all a ruse, dreams have gone and flown, so much a taste of you, show them that we're great, live our life and show, how to embellish the tales, take them on the road.

Don't lie in the rain, swear upon your mother, stuff you can't fake, hope she can use, costs that you smother, a place without refuge, see that portrait, on a life style cover, it’s got your name, whatever you lose, don't curse or bother, who pays the dues, whisky fires the brain, it’s good without trouble, blazing away, no book or dawn curfew, masks the thunder, bury the feuds, gains that you'll make, fly like new lovers, a spirit on the causeway, fills you with wonder.
