It doesn't take long,
to look down the road,
know where you're going,
try to act kind,
a smile on your load,
they'll call you each time,
try to keep strong,
your soul is a window,
the eyes have their song,
you'll travel the miles,
far away from home,
let your face come alive,
you're not that far gone,
to hear the cock crow,
how you've been wronged,
if the sun doesn't shine,
when riding the blow,
nothing stops your fire,
not to be around,
they'll say what is owed,
laugh from the ground,
life's only a loan.

You don't get much view.
from these streets,
on this avenue,
say you arranged the loans,
introduced me to dancing queens,
put jelly on my bones,
tell me something new,
about these scenes,
like the money you blew,
far away from home,
drinking Bacardi Breezrs,
you couldn't make toast,
haven't got a clue,
locked in those great dreams,
you thought everyone knew,
wonder where you'll go,
who you'll get to believe,
moving easy the flow,
my dress is golden blue,
i can't see the trees,
am shrunken by your dues,
guess i'll always be.

where's the money you blew,

you couldn't make toast,

locked in those great dreams,
you thought everyone knew,
wonder where you'll go,
who you'll get to believe,
moving with the flow,

i can't see the trees,
am shrunken by your blues,
guess i'll always be.

Now you've left home,
they say it's your time,
but where has it gone,
you used to believe,
everything's fine,
better when you leave,
tears lachrymose,
are now not so kind,
far down the road,
jokes once your repartee,
as a way to unwind,
float cold on the street,
wake to see what's done,
achieve peace of mind,
carry the pretty stones,
rain starts to ease,
there's light in the sky,
it brightens the sea,
fix a drink with Coke,
sharper than wine,
put on your coat,
not yet gone Nine.

Live or die far or near,
wine isn't cheap,
but it takes away fear,
before any whispered sigh,
or hugs from a grenadier,
brings me to this night,
no drama of lonely piers,
dances my wounds to sleep,
on boards of inner tears,
regular as plain sight,
darkness makes me creep,
closer to my birth right,
what remains is clear,
I've fallen in too deep,
to remember previous years,
loving makes me come alive
breathes beside me on the heap,
is this him I ask why
what is bought so dear,
when the moon seeps,
is a story everyone hears
and someone weeps.

When you see a fading star,
it makes me uneasy,
knowing they're out so far,
children you wish and dogs,
then stay as you please,
in a warm hazy fog,
my ship goes to Mars,
but not in tranquility,
can't get there by car,
if it's not what you want,
through all the love seasons,
name the stuff you don't,
put water in my font,
make all my fires increase,
tell me what's going on,
I'm like someone in the dark,
not on a bended knee,
but feel like Ziggy Stardust,
singing in a boxcar,
why scatter all my needs,
blow ashes on the bar,
I don't do serenity.

When bells ring out the night,
I'll make my mark,
like a song beseeches why,
the goal’s within sight,
a warm embrace by dark,
give me your sweet sign,
dusk falls in green light,
our lives over the bar,
say we won't ever fight,
an American asks why,
lovers love in cars,
seek audiences world wide,
dancers whose fame decides,
if the prize's too far,
on many a famous night,
singing scenes of pure delight,
a smoky voice like tar,
swells my appetite,
there maybe no second lives,
but home is my spark,
a woman who knows her rights,
what a lucky star.
