Well I’m up on 24th street and I’m looking at a life
Standing on a corner watching people passing by
I used to be somebody man, I used to be someone
Now I’m feeling like a bullet in the chamber of a gun
I said hey, tell me what you’re gonna do now
You’re acting like you never been had
You’re saying it’s the end of the world again
When it all blows up
When it all goes down
When it makes you sick
But you’re still around
When you ain’t too pure
And you ain’t too proud
When it all blows up
And it all blows down
Orpheus descending in the middle of the night
Well I’m standing by the speakers and I somehow feel alright
There’s girls on lower Broadway in the summer and the smoke
I feel I’m at the wrong end man, of someone else’s joke
I said hey, tell me what you want me to do
I feel like I got nowhere to go
Meet me at the end of the world again
When it all blows up
And it all goes down
When it sucks your soul
But you hang around
When you ain’t too poor
And you ain’t too proud
When it all blows up
And it all blows down
Alright
When it all blows up
And it all goes down
When it makes you sick
But you’re still around
And you ain’t too pure
And you ain’t too proud
Just to get your kicks
In a lovesick town
When it all blows up
And it all blows down
And your late night friends
Don’t come around
But the time is right
And the time is now
When it all blows up
And it all goes down

Shadows on my wall
And voices in the hall
I’m making up my own scene
Hanging out in room 13
I pull down the blackout shade
And watch the TV start to fade
Deadbolt on the lock
And I unplug the digital clock
Well I spent some time in a hotel room
Thinking about love
And I walked away like those others do
Oh when it’s not enough
The walls are paper thin
And I’ve seen everybody’s sins
All the liquor stores are closed
And I’m sleeping with the ghost
Well I spent some time in a hotel room
Thinking about love
And I walked away like those others do
Oh when it’s not enough
I just want to do the right thing
But I get dragged down on the wrong side
The girl on the telephone
She asked me when I’m coming home
And I’m falling somewhere in between
What she says and what she means
It was something that was said
Before the phone went dead
Like the sound of the falling rain
And the rumble of a train
Well I spent some time in a hotel room
Thinking about love
And I walked away like those others do
Oh when it’s not enough
Thinking about love

When You're Young
02:56

Wake up with your sad luck story, oh somebody got murdered
Wake up from your paths of glory, oh nobody you’d heard of
Wake up from your bad dreams and lay them on the table
You’re the last of a dying breed
And no stranger to the street
When you’re young and you run and you’re burning like a star
And it’s fun and it’s done and it leaves you with a scar
Wake up it’s another year and oh, the lock and chain
Wake up and there’s nobody near but oh, the pouring rain
Wake up don’t waste your life on things that don’t get better
When you go through living hell but you wear it oh so well
When you’re young and you run and you’re burning like a star
And it’s fun and it’s done and it leaves you with a scar
It’s just another day you can throw away
Gonna fade away, gonna fade away
When you’re young and you run and you’re burning like a star
And it’s fun and it’s done and it leaves you with a scar
When it runs in your blood and you’re taking it too far
And it’s fun and it’s done and it leaves you with a scar

Chemical Heart
02:31

They say you got a chemical heart
To try to prove it different is the hardest part
They say it’s on the tip of your tongue
You’ve been making up excuses since you were young
I don’t wanna be your babysitter
I don’t wanna be your five a.m.
I don’t wanna be your Jake LaMotta
I don’t wanna date your ex-best friend
You’re standing on the edge of the world
You’re walking down the street like you’re this year’s girl
I’m calling it a chemical crime
You got a lot of nothing but it’s mine, mine, mine
Singin’ nah nah nah, nah nah nah
I don’t wanna be your Ike and Tina
I don’t wanna be your remote control
I don’t wanna be your Bernie Taupin
I don’t wanna be your stepping stone
They say you got a chemical kiss
You’re breaking down the atoms to get your fix
You’re looking like a knife in the heart
Wishing that it’s different is the hardest part
Singin’ nah nah nah, nah nah nah
Have you seen your mother baby sleeping on the floor
A permanent vacation crying in the shower stall
I don’t wanna be your ivory tower
I don’t wanna be your broken home
I don’t wanna be your plastic surgeon
I don’t even wanna walk you home
They say you got a chemical heart
To try to prove it different is the hardest part
I’m calling it a chemical crime
You got a lot of nothing but it’s mine, mine, mine

Promises
03:44

I think I saw the lights in all the houses
I think I heard the last of your goodbyes
I thought about the songs of stolen summers
That live in promises in our time
Call me a cab for the last plane to tomorrow
Waiting down here for something all my life
Send my regards never been over the rainbow
I’m living with all you left behind
I think I saw you walking to the station
I saw you had the glazed look in your eyes
I thought about a love that never happened
We just made promises and alibis
Call me a cab for the last plane to tomorrow
Sing me a song about a summer suicide
Send my regards to my friend in California
I’m living with all you left behind
You wake up and you break up and it always finds you here
All you want to do is disappear
Call me a cab for the last plane to tomorrow
Waiting down here for someone all my life
Send my regards to my home in New York City
I’m living with all you left behind
Calling me up

Shining Down
03:14
|
|||
|
We never got a break
We live with our mistakes
Just icing on the cake and some cold heartbreak
Sentimental kids
With movies in our heads
We never figured out why she had to go
Keep on shining down on my life
Keep on shining down on me
We always were to blame
They changed the family name
Another sad refrain but I won’t look back
I found another path
Through the broken glass
Everything was trash but it all worked out
Keep on shining down on my life
Keep on shining down on my life
Keep on shining down on me
I act like nothing hurts
The bar becomes a church
A limousine, a hearse and you don’t look back
The one that couldn’t fail
Married or in jail
Had moments of success in the shadow of the best
Keep on shining down on my life
Keep on shining down on me

Well they pulled you out of your hospital bed
To take you down to the show
And people came from all around to hear those songs that they know
Feel like there’s an angel hanging on your shoulder
Growing up in London, want to die in Dublin
Everybody sends their love
From the West End streets and the hustlers and whores
To touching down in New York
And the Irish cops and the junk on the street
Had everything you could want
Drinking with the angels until the early morning
All those dirty faces filling up your pages
Gonna keep on running, they said you’d never make it
Everybody sends their love
Well I got myself on a flight across
From Texas over the sea
And I felt so lost didn’t know what to say
Standing in the wings
Feel like there’s an angel hanging on my shoulder
Getting kind of nervous talking to a stranger
Gonna tell your story, playing Death or Glory
Everybody sends their love
Don’t deny it

We were strangers and thieves
Leaving tags and graffiti smoke screens
Stealing candy from arcades
What the hell we were only fifteen
Walk on from a place we never came from
Walk on and listen to no one
I been thinking ‘bout you lately
I’m lost and I’m lonely in the tenements of life
I never really had a family
It’s alright, I really could use a friend
Looking back on a fanzine, from warehouse wars to bedroom communities
Burning down the arcade, urban gardens and homesick holidays
Walk on from a place we never came from
Walk on and answer to no one
I’ve been thinking ‘bout you lately
I’m lost and I’m lonely in the tenements of life
I never really had a family
It’s alright, I really could use a friend
We were strangers and thieves
Dancing in the house of conspiracy
We were nervous energy
Suburban noise and tenement pipe dreams
I’ve been thinking ‘bout you lately
I’m lost and I’m lonely in the tenements of life
I never really had a family
I been thinking bout you lately
It’s alright, I really could use a friend
Robbin’ banks in America, robbin’ banks in American time
