The hands of time are rubbing hard against my thighs
It's getting hard to just sit down and watch the crowd
So i've come down here to see you
I've come down here to make a deal
Hey! no hey, let me in on, let me

Feel the distance
'cause i'm feeling mad inside my head

Millions were invited
Only twelve could come
We sit ourselves down to the table
And make a meal out of none
I tell 'em I had a dream last night
I dreamt that my work was down
In order for it to live forever
I have to die at dawn
I'm gonna take it further than beyo

George puts the bottle on his knee
Puts the bottle in between our ages
George never quite knew what it meant
To be loved, but understands the meaning
He was born before the war
An old man now, old and poor

Hey, what's the matter with this world?
Wat's the matter wit

Everybody's tired
Been climbing walls of doubt
Everybody tried
Nobody got out

And this is what it sounds like
And this is how it feels
And I just can't remember
The way it used to be
The way it used to be
How it used to be

But now
The Gravy Train R

How we gentle kiss the morning dew
How we gentle kiss, but never see our wishes through
How we gentle kiss the lips of life
How we gentle kiss, but never have a lust for life

How we gentle, How we gentle
How we gentle kiss the abattoir
How we gentle, How we gentle

I know you've come to hear me sing
About your life, in the songs I bring
Your loneliness and other blue
A line or two to pull you through

Parade with everything in place
Buying the right jeans and matching face
Still won't give you the right to claim
The rest of me

Blank inside the head
Empty in the heart
It's a desert between my legs
Nothing left of me

I had never been afraid
But now I'm shitting down my pants
Everything is pain
Nothing left of me

I thought that I could resist
I thought that I could be hard
But

It's open-minded
It understands
How open-minded can be a narrow man?

If you had your way
Well, I guess it would be gas
It's cheap and simple
And it doesn't leave a mess

You're a dog
Retriever of the manifest
That's hiding in your eyes
Trained to be a p

Love is Psychology
Control her mind
Control her needs
The blinding smile
The dotted line
Behind the scenes of love

A shooting star
A moonlit night
Romantic dinner
By candlelight
A hard day's work
To get it júst right
Behind the scenes of love

Somebody's trying to kill me
Somebody wants me dead
It's gotta be some kind of maniac
Who's got it all wrong in the head

Give me that shotgun
Shotgun, don't blow me away

Lost in the turmoil and panic
I'm shaking my brains out of spill
Surrendered to the grace

This is not the world that I was born to
It doesn't feel the same as when I was young
This is not the life I worked so hard for
Somewhere along the way, I must've done something wrong

Don't hold your breath, my father said to me
Happy-ever-after, life's a joke
Don't hol

I feel like writing you a lovesong
Now that our marriage is over
I feel like sending you the bookshop
Stored in my drawer all these years
All the fears I ever had
I've written them down
I would've sent 'em to you
But I changed my mind
Kept 'em enclosed in the enve
