THE LATE SHOW<\/p>\n
Everyone I’ve ever known has wished me well
\nAnyway, that’s how it seems, it’s hard to tell
\nMaybe people only ask you how you’re doing
\n‘Cause that’s easier than letting on how little they could care
\nBut when you know that you’ve got a real friend somewhere
\nSuddenly all the others are so much easier to bear<\/p>\n
Now, to see things clear it’s hard enough, I know
\nWhile you’re waiting for reality to show
\nWithout dreamin’ of the perfect love
\nAnd holding it so far above
\nIf you stumbled onto someone real, you’d never know<\/p>\n
You could be with somebody who is lonely too
\n(Sometimes it doesn’t show)
\nHe might be trying to get across to you
\n(Words can be so slow)
\nWhen your own emptiness is all that’s gettin’ through
\nThere comes a point when you’re not sure why you’re still talking
\nI passed that point long ago
\n(Long ago)<\/p>\n
LATE FOR THE SKY<\/p>\n
Now, for me some words come easy
\nBut I know that they don’t mean that much
\nCompared with the things that are said when lovers touch
\nYou never knew what I loved in you
\nI don’t know what you loved in me
\nMaybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be<\/p>\n
DEAR LANDLORD<\/p>\n
Now, each of us has his own special gift
\nAnd you know this was meant to be true
\nAnd if you don’t underestimate me
\nI won’t underestimate you<\/p>\n
SIGN ON THE WINDOW<\/p>\n
Build me a cabin in Utah
\nMarry me a wife, catch rainbow trout
\nHave a bunch of kids who call me “pa”
\nThat must be what it’s all about,
\nThat must be what it’s all about<\/p>\n

\nAnd I’ll show you a man who’s a liar and in debt.
\nThere’s no one alive who can’t be purchased or enticed
\nThere’s no man alive who wouldn’t sell for a price,
\nMoney talks and we’re the living proof,
\nThere ain’t no limit to what money can do
\nMoney talks, money talks.<\/p>\n
\nTell me do you like what you see?
\nHey, I ain’t got no money
\nBut honey I’m rich on personality
\nHey, check it all out
\nBaby I know what it’s all about
\nBefore the night is through
\nYou will see my point of view
\nEven if I have to scream and shout<\/p>\n
\nMight not know it now
\nBaby but I are, I’m a (star)
\nI don’t want to stop, ’til I reach the top
\nSing it (we are all stars!)<\/p>\n
\nThis is widely known
\nNow what you plan to do with your foolish pride
\nWhen you’re all by yourself alone<\/p>\n
\nThe way that you feel
\nYou can feel it beginning to ease
\nI think it’s true what they say
\nAbout the squeaky wheel
\nAlways getting the grease<\/p>\n
\nShower the people you love with love
\nYes and show them the way that you feel
\nI know things are gonna be just fine
\nIf you only will, what I like to do to you<\/p>\n
\nYou find someone that’s right
\nBut the world looks so confused
\nI can’t tell false from true<\/p>\n
\nIn this state of mind
\nOh i hope I’ll know him
\nI hope I’ll know him
\nIf he’s ever near<\/p>\n
\nThis ain’t no fooling around
\nNo time for dancing, or lovey dovey,
\nI ain’t got time for that now<\/p>\n
\nHope for an answer some day
\nI got three passports, a couple of visas,
\nYou don’t even know my real name<\/p>\n
\nI had a blues man on the back, and a beautician at the wheel
\nWe going downtown in the middle of the night
\nWe laughing and I’m jokin’ and we feelin’ alright<\/p>\n
\nYes I’m bad, I’m nationwide<\/p>\n
\nTo kidnap an heiress
\nor threaten her with a knife
\nWhat do you want from life
\nTo get cable TV
\nand watch it every night<\/p>\n
\na lump in your chair
\nWhere do you sleep
\nand what do you wear
\nwhen you’re sleeping<\/p>\n
\nBut what it is ain’t exactly clear
\nThere’s a man with a gun over there
\nTelling me I got to beware<\/p>\n
\nChildren, what’s that sound?
\nEverybody look, what’s going down?<\/p>\n
\nI don’t want to shoot no one
\nWell I crossed my old man back in Oregon
\nDon’t take me alive
\nGot a case of dynamite
\nI could hold out here all night
\nYes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
\nDon’t take me alive<\/p>\n
\nLet’s go out and feel everything
\nIf you hold me
\nI will let you into my dreams
\nFor time is a river rolling into nowhere
\nWe must live while we can
\nAnd we’ll drink our cup of laughter<\/p>\n
\nYeah, man meets woman and they fall in love
\nBut this house is haunted and the ride gets rough
\nYou’ve got to learn to live with what you can’t rise above
\nIf you want to ride on down, down in through this tunnel of love<\/p>\n
\nIf only just tonight, girl, let me hear you lie just a little
\nTell me I’m the only man that you ever really loved
\nHoney, take me back in my memory place
\nWhen it was all very right, so very nice, so very nice<\/p>\n
\nHe’s a walker in the rain
\nHe’s a dancer in the dark
\nWe don’t need no piece of paper from the city hall
\nKeeping us tied and true no, my old man
\nKeeping away my blues<\/p>\n
\nThe well was deep and muddy
\nShe was just shaking off futility
\nOr punishing somebody
\nMy friends were calling up all day yesterday
\nAll emotions and abstractions
\nIt seems we all live so close to that line
\nAnd so far from satisfaction<\/p>\n
\nYou walk back into my life
\nJust like you never left<\/p>\n
\nYou call up to tell me
\nYou’re not sure if you’re ready
\nOh, but ready or not, you’ll take what you’ve got and leave<\/p>\n
\nI’m putting the pieces back together again
\nJust leave, leave me alone with my dreams
\nI can do without you, know what I mean<\/p>\n
\nI’m the first to admit it
\nI’m the first to admit it
\nBut the last one to know
\nWhen something goes right
\nWell it’s likely to lose me
\nIt’s apt to confuse me
\nIt’s such an unusual sight
\nI can’t get used to something so right
\nSomething so right<\/p>\n
