Well, a person can work up a mean, mean thirst After a hard day of nothin' much at all Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall And sometimes I just ain't in the mood To take my place in the back with the hard knocks Like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food I used to live at home, now I stay in the house And everybody wants to be special here I call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one here today? Well, a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town Once the police made you go away And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby, now I'll take a great big whiskey to you anyway Everybody wants to be someone's here Someone's gonna show up, never fear 'Cause here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one who feels ashamed? Kneeling alongside old Sad eyes, he says "Opportunity knocks once, then the door slams shut" All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts First the lights, then the collar goes up and the wind begins to blow Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall Here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one here today?

I've heard it said, people's souls chase the night Hopin' the times that went before when their hearts were flying No, don't you be blue when you hear the wild birds call So hold on love 'cause I'll never let you fall Here comes a man who'll give you all the love he can Far from the rain where you'll never feel the pain Don't cry, we'll come alive Oh, if you'll wait for me Out of my head a vision flows bathed in light Borne by the tide along the shore where the wind is sighing No, don't you be blue when you hear the music play So hold on love 'cause we're gonna sail away Here comes a man who'll give you all the love he can Far from the rain where you'll never feel the pain Don't cry, we'll come alive Oh, if you'll wait for me I've been coming to set you free 'cause your love belongs to me I'm going to make you mine 'til the end of time Hoping to get through and that the hailstones don't fall So hold on, love, like you never did before Here comes a man who'll give you all the love he can Far from the rain where you'll never feel the pain Don't cry, we'll come alive Oh, if you'll wait for me, wait for me Oh wait for me, me Here comes a man, man Here comes a man, man Here comes a man, man Here comes a man, man, man

Just pulled out of a train station we're moving sideways I'm sitting here with three other people in the carriage Passing churches, passing stations, a bustling complex I see a sequence 22 rivers out my window Pushing you away from me Pushing you away from me The skyscrapers the cloud scratchers The sandwich maker the trollycar pusher Pushing you away from me Pushing you away from me Etterzhausen, Frankfurt Central, here comes a city And why do people who read Dostoevsky always look like Dostoevsky? A crowded train, a silent night The country's black and the cities are bright On this flight, through the night On this flight, historic night

Here come Dick, he's wearing a skirt Here comes Jane, you know she's sporting a chain Same hair, revolution, same build, evolution Tomorrow who's gonna fuss And they love each other so Androgynous Closer than you know, love each other so Androgynous Don't get him wrong and don't get him mad He might be a father, but he sure ain't a dad And she don't need advice that'll center her She's happy with the way she looks, she's happy with her gender And they love each other so Androgynous Closer than you know, love each other so Androgynous Mirror image, see no damage See no evil at all Kewpie dolls and urine stalls Will be laughed at the way you're laughed at now Now, something meets boy, and something meets girl They both look the same they're overjoyed in this world Same hair, revolution, unisex, evolution Tomorrow who's gonna fuss? And tomorrow Dick is wearing pants, tomorrow Janie's wearing a dress Future outcasts and they don't last And today, the people dress the way that they please The way they tried to do in the last centuries And they love each other so Androgynous Closer than you know, love each other so Androgynous
