Well, I've stuck out in your street
And I'm looking for some kind of halo
When somebody says to me, boy
She's too young to know

*Well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don't you think you show
I guess I'll have to teach you how to roll

Met you outside school
When sure no one was looking
And your teacher looks at me
All his envy growing

*Repeat

I said, take it easy baby
You sure know what's showing
And I can't help myself
Without your friends all knowing

*Repeat x2

You got a long, long way to go

. . .


Standing by the roadside
Future in my hands
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast
City lights closed down
Your empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground

*Crystal light shining bright
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passing by
Trying not to see
Like a fool I hit that road
Did my time at sea
Life was only fooling me

Oh despair, it bums my lungs
Find it hard to breathe
The hospital shut their gates
I can't get me no peace
Wicked people stand and scream
Stumble the road
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream
Haven't found a dream

*Repeat x2

. . .


Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in

She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart

Living, loving, I'm on the run, far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast
Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast

It's only just a moment, she's turning paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy

Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in

But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strain and I can't take any more

Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast
Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor

. . .


Going through pages and looking down lines and lines
Space of your life is only passing you by

Space child ages as he turns and faces the lie
Then after laughter was caught in his throat as he died

Fly on homeward

Worlds spinning by brings clouds in your eye tonight
The space of your life is only passing you by

. . .


Seventeen, a Natchez queen
Oh you know what I mean
Twenty one, I hnow that you can
See the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful
Lyin' there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow earth is closin' in
Above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin'
Down for you to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by
The hands on your clock
Heaven's don't just open
When you can knock

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Wall of darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul
Just one sweet kiss
On your clay cold lips
Long, long sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here

[Solo]

Seventeen, a Natchez queen
Oh you know what I mean
Twenty one, I hnow that you can
See the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful
Lyin' there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

. . .


Well, I'm struttin' up and down
Tryin' to get my face in town
Wonderin' the hang where
To turn each time around
Look in your mirror just to see my face
Two way time, baby, it's no disgrace
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

Ladies used to dancin' but I move for real
Lookin' for reaction, something you can feel
When ya dance,
I move and they look me in the eye
Two way time, baby, it's no lie
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

. . .


-long, long year I've sat in this place
Baby, baby, what's good I've had
When you don't know where I wanna go
Find a reason love's left me cold

I've got it, time on my hands
Been drinkin' with the sailor boy
Been tryin' hard to understand
Lines here in my hand

Left me hopin' the wild thoughts I had
My lost feelin' made me so sad
Tried so hard, the smile on my face
Can't get it back a gain, back home with you

* repeat
* repeat
* repeat

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold
But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know
That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs
But if you want me, you got to take your time
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

But I got everything all the good girls need
I ... I love you baby
I ... I love you baby
But I got everything all of the good girls need

And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold
Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul
I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Lipstick Traces

[No lyrics]

Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place
With the sun up in my eyes
Symbols of the morning comin' on
With the love that's got too strong to hold
If I'd been so much wiser then
I would have known which path to choose
Heaven help the lucky one
Heaven help you

Heard the news come on the radio
About the loves and the flame
I'd already heard before

Baby, two years ago

Say it's too hard to return
Now it seemed just like a dream
I saw and already seen it
On my tv screen

Now I could see all these conflicts goin' on
Don't you think you could show some thanks
I just might give you a standin' ovation
When I'm here and gone

. . .

Oh my, how the times have changed

Oh my, how the times have changed

Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

Downtown, drive by, a drink card in her hand
All night hustler parking by the stand
Full blown engine, she comes on like a fight
Give her the gun, boy you'd better hold on tight

I don't know why, she brings me on
I don't know why, ooh but she brings me on

She's a right runner, real mean mother too
I can't wait to see her break in front of you
Making a movie star upon the screen
If daddy's looking, you come on like a queen

I don't know why, she brings me on
I don't know why, but she brings me on

-(instrumental)

Downtown drive by, a drink card in her hand
All night hustler parking by the stand
Full blown engines she comes on like a fight
Give her the gun, boy you better hold on tight

. . .


Just down here said hello, tell me are you trying to get on
I said "hey, now honey, I don't need your money," want you to push me around
You know I looked you in the eye, said hey baby show me which way to go
What I intend to do don't you make a move I got an interest in you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you

Caught me by the arm, held on tight, I said hey what you trying to do
If I'm gonna make it I'll make it with you I got nothing to lose
Much too strong need a little help when you can help yourself
What I intend to do don't you make a move I got an interest in you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you

Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you

Just down here said hello tell me are you trying to get on
Said hey now honey I don't need your money want you to push me around
You know I looked you in the eye said hey baby show me which way to go
What I intend to do don't you make a move I got an interest in you

Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you

Well you know you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing, sweet little thing
Sweet little thing like you
