You know he got the cure You know he went astray He used to stay awake to drive The dreams he had away He wanted to believe In the hands of love His head it felt heavy As he cut across the land A dog started crying Like a broken hearted man In the howling wing In the howling wind He went deeper into black Deeper into white He sees the stars shining Like nails in the night He felt the healing, healing, healing Healing hands of love Like the stars shiny shiny from above His hand in his pocket His finger on the steel The pistol weighed heavy His heart he could feel Was beating, beating, beating Beating, oh my love Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love My love Saw the hands that build Can also pull down Hands of love

Can you treat it like an oil well When it's underground, out of sight? And if the site is just a whore-sign Can it make enough sense to me? Pretend the table is a trust-knot We'll put our labels down, favors down I'll watch a yarn of twine unravel And you'll never get it back It's what I want (it's what I want) It's what I want (twine comes down) It's what I want (it's what I want) Don't you know I could make a try?

Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair Do you think it's gonna make him change? "I'm just a boy with a new haircut" And that's a pretty nice haircut Charge it like a puzzle Hit men wearing muzzles Hesitate you die Look around, around The second drummer drowned His telephone is found Music scene is crazy Bands start up each and every day I saw another one just the other day A special new band I remember lying I don't remember a line I don't remember a word But I don't care, I care, I really don't care Did you see the drummer's hair? Advertising looks and chops a must No Big Hair! Songs mean a lot when songs are bought And so are you Face right down to the practice room Tension and fame's our career Career, career, career, career, career

Well, you mesmerize me Stop criticizing me You know, I'm solo that way And I'm heading for the Cape I'm on a raft, can't turn back Stimulate the open chords I'm on a raft, can't turn back (Louder!) You're an ocean of honey Painfully funny, yeah And the tears that you grow are coming up early I'm on a raft, can't turn back And you stimulate the open chords Rats, in the bath, of the shaft (Louse) You're a Nestea splash Sunkist two-thousand class All the towelers of thongs And a heavy, line, oh Down the golden groves All around this funky place Damn, damn, damn all the 49ers

Harness your hopes On just one person Because you know a harness Was only made for one Don't telegraph your passes You'll end up with molasses Cauterized in syrup And syrup and molasses And I'm checking out the asses The assets that attract us To anything that moves We're deep inside the grooves And it's time to shake the rations Cause someone's gonna cash in The plot it turns again The reference starts at ten Well show me A word that rhymes with Pavement And I won't kill your parents And roast them on a spit And a-don't you try to etch it Or permanently sketch it Or your gonna catch a bad bad cold And the freaks have stormed the white house I moved into a lighthouse It's on a scenic quay It's oh so far away Far away from the beginning The shroud is made of linen The yearling took the purse The goth kid has a hearse Heart-breaking Earth-quaking Kiwis they are home baking Minds wide open truly Leisure A leisure suit is nothing It's nothing to be proud of In this late century And I'm asking you to hold me Just like the morning paper Pinched between your pointer Your index and your thumb It's a semi-automatic Believers are ecstatic You see the way they cling The cold metallic sting And I'm living in a coma For Donna de Varona The harness made of hopes The lovers on the ropes Nun is to church As the parrot is to perch And my Heart's Wide open Truly

Doctor's leaving for the holiday season Got crystal ice picks, no gift for the gab And in the parking lot is the Sedan he bought He never, he never complains when it's hot He sold a swollen daughter In a sauna playing contract bridge They're soaking up the fun or doing blotters, I don't know which Which, which boys are dying on these streets I know the medical world could knock you out To sell the coins that you jayed last Thursday Dine by candle light and hold your savings tight You never, you never know when the bridge falls apart We spoke of latent causes, sterile gauzes and the bedside morale We traipse around the table talking sentences so incomplete Please, plea, boys are dying on these streets
