Angel On My Right
02:07
|

Been at this job too long it brings me down
i got a friend who never comes around
I wake up lately in the dead of night
looking for the angel on my right
I'm goin somewhere they don't know my name
I got a lot to prove and nothing to bring
So I'm leaving early to catch a one way flight
with my backpack and the angel on my right
Tonight I'll go outside one more time
Visit all the places I will leave behind
Will I miss you baby, well I might
Now it's me and the angel on my right
Now it's me and the angel on my right

Rule Of The Game
03:48
|

Underdressed and overdone
My hair is long my face is drawn
Just like the painted portraits you make
Sippin' from my coke and rum
I make my way to your apartment
Up the spiral stairs to my fate
I guess you could call it the rule of the game
I guess you could call it the rule of the game
It's okay to be a little
paranoid and non-committal
Seems like many people feel that way
But can I sit down on your hard bed
Talk about just how our hearts met
In a bond that never can break
I guess you could call it the rule of the game
I guess you could call it the rule of the game
Someday we'll have our own apartment
Kitchen sink and basil garden
Kiss you in the morning and say
You've been sleeping like a stone
You will never dream alone
All you've got to do is just stay
I guess you could call it the rule of the game
I guess you could call it the rule of the game

Baby's Eyes
07:18
|

I know the way, the way it goes
I get a good thing, a good thing's gotta go
Into the void between above and below
If this is a boat it's surely sinking
With my head tied to the mast
Eyes on the horizon as it curves round again
Now I know it's too late to make amends
There was a place, a place in time
I had a vision, a vision in my mind
That I could taste like a ginger clementine
If this is a boat it's surely sinking
With my head tied to the mast
Eyes on the horizon as it curves round again
Now I know it's too late to make amends
Golden twilight takin me away
The drummers play halftime
The piper must be paid
I sink to my toes
the water crawls over me slowly
I can remember how you used to say
You can come by at quarter to three
You can make me do anything
I don't want to but till I'll try
to find the love in my baby tonight
Find the love in my baby tonight
Find the love in my baby tonight
Find the love in my baby tonight
Can't get what you need so you take more of mine
You can call me up any old time
If I'm fucked up I'll pick up your line
You can have me the way that you like
If it lets me see love in my baby's eyes
You can have me the way that you like
You can have me the way that you like
You can have me the way that you like
Can't get what you need so you take more of mine
I know the way, the way it goes
I get a good thing, a good thing's gotta go
Into the void between above and below
If this is a boat it's surely sinking
With my head tied to the mast
Eyes on the horizon as it curves round again
Now I know it's too late to make amends

Want To Love You
06:32
|
|||
There was a time I thought that I could be someone to look upon
and stand behind
I drank the tea it made me dream until the day looked just the same
as the night
I'm a little older now
alive and kicking still somehow
alone within, alone without
a fighting chance
but I can dance
and baby I want to love
want to love
want to love
baby I want to love you
baby I want to
There was a time I thought of you in ways I thought I wanted to
be perceived
I couldn't see that you were me like branches bloom above the roots
of the tree
We're a little wiser now
Rising for a closing bow
Alone within, alone without
A fighting chance
but we can dance
and baby I want to love
want to love
want to love
baby I want to love you
baby I want to
Want to love you like a friend
forgiven, no need to pretend
I'm a coward, I'm a thief
Don't waste your precious life on me
There was a time I thought of us but now those day have gone to rust
gone to seed
We stood beneath the rotten wreath and made a tryst, the lonely kiss
of our greed
But we're both past that anyhow
You made a prayer and took a vow
alone within, alone without
but still somehow
baby I want to love
want to love
want to love
baby I want to love you
baby I want to
Want to love you as a friend
forgiven, no need to pretend
I'm a coward, I'm a thief
don't waste your precious life on me

Stay if you're gonna stay
I'm already gone
Did what you wanted to
Now my heart is moving on
There is nothing I can do
to keep myself from missing you
but I'll try
to live on the outside of love
Do what you're gonna do
I'm already yours
Gave everything to you
Got no liquor left to pour
There is nothing I can do
to keep myself from believing you
when you say
you see it my way
I got a feeling that I can't deny
I got a bottle in my hand
I got this fear that you will go
leave me all alone
I'd understand
Leave if you're gonna leave
I already know
The sorrow you gave to me
Is the one you got at home
There is nothing I can do
to keep myself from loving you
but I will die
before I let you get inside my mind
I got a feeling that I can't deny
I got a bottle in my hand
I got this fear that you will go
Leave me all alone
I'd understand
I'd understand
I'd understand
