Lines form on my face and hands Lines form from the ups and downs I'm in the middle without any plans I'm a boy and I'm a man
I'm eighteen and I don't know what I want Eighteen I just don't know what I want Eighteen I gotta get away I gotta get out of this place I'll go runnin in outer space Oh yeah
I got a baby's brain and an old man's heart Took eighteen years to get this far Don't always know what I'm talkin' about Feels like I'm livin in the middle of doubt Cause I'm
Eighteen I get confused every day Eighteen I just don't know what to say Eighteen I gotta get away
Lines form on my face and my hands Lines form on the left and right I'm in the middle the middle of life I'm a boy and I'm a man I'm eighteen and I LIKE IT Yes I like it Oh I like it Love it Like it Love it Eighteen! Eighteen! Eighteen! Eighteen and I LIKE IT
We still got a long way to go We still got a long way to go We all got a long way to go
What's keeping us apart isn't selfishness What's holding us together isn't love Listen to the man who's been touched all his life Yes he's the one they call the fool
Where is the savior of the sidewalk life and the road that takes us to the crusades I've seen the shadows as they're moving in my sleep leading the blind poet to his grave
We still got a long way to go We still got a long way to go Yes we all got a long way to go
Please don't waste your energy on me my friend cause we still got a long way to go we'll meet again some day but right now just go away cause I still got a long way to go
The silence is speaking so why am I weeping I guess I love it I love it to death
We still got a long way to go Yes we still got a long way to go Yes we all got a long way to go
Touched by the toil and plunged into his arm Cursed thru the night thru eyes of alarm A melody black flowed out of my breath Searching for death, but bodies need rest
Body
Under the soil now waiting for worms All that I feared is all that I've learned All that I know is all that I think Dead feelings are cool, down lower I sink, ah-hah
Bodies need rest, we all need our rest Sleep an easy sleep ---rest---rest Bodies need their rest We all need our rest Sleep an easy sleep ---rest---rest---rest---rest But come back in the morning Come back hard
Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up
Bodies
Clutching and biting my soul has caught on fire My evil is now and I'm caught up in desire Ev'rything I'm living for is all that I am Liking it and loving it that's all in the plan
Gather round right now and hear me whisper the words of the prison the words of laughter The lords and the ladies were fixing their hair-dos cursing their lovers cursing the Bible
Hallow-ed by my name yelling at fathers screaming at mothers Hallow-ed by my name
come all you sinners Come now in your glory and my ears will listen to your dirty stories you're fighting to go up you're sure on your way down cursing their lovers cursing the Bible
Hallow-ed by my name yelling at fathers screaming at mothers Hallow-ed by my name
Sluts and the hookers have taken your money The queens are out dancing but now it's not funny 'Cause there goes one walkin' away with your sonny cursing their lovers cursing the Bible
Hallow-ed by my name yelling at fathers screaming at mothers Hallow-ed by my name
I couldn't tell if the bells were getting louder The songs they ring I finally recognize I only know Hell is getting hotter the Devil's getting smarter all the time
And it would be nice to walk upon the water to talk again to angels at my side
Time is getting closer I read it on a poster fanatical exposers on corners prophesy
It would be nice to walk upon the water to talk again to angels on my side
I just come back to show you all your words are golden so have no gods before me I'm the light
Mommy, where's Daddy? He's been gone for so long Do you think he'll ever come home?
I was gone for fourteen days I coulda been gone for more Held up in the intensive care ward Lyin' on the floor
I was gone for all those days But I was not all alone I made friends with a lot of people In the danger zone
See my lonely life unfold I see it every day See my only mind explode Since I've gone away
I think I lost some weight there And I, I'm sure I need some rest Sleepin' don't come very easy In a straight white vest
Should like to see that little children She's only four years old, old I'd give her back all of her playthings Even, even the ones I stole
See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday See my lonely mind explode When I've gone insane
I wanna get outta here I wanna get outta here I, I've gotta, I've gotta get outta here I, I gotta get out of here I gotta get out of here… Ya gotta let me out of here Let me outta here… I gotta get outta here…
See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday See my only mind explode Blow up in my face
I grabbed my hat and I got my coat And I, I ran into the street I saw a man that was choking there I guess he couldn't breathe Said to myself, this is very strange I'm glad it wasn't me But now I hear those sirens callin' And so I am not free
I didn't wanna be I didn't wanna be I didn't wanna be See my lonely life unfold I didn't wanna be I see it every day Leave me alone I didn't wanna be Don't touch me See my lonely mind explode When I've gone insane
The telephone is ringing You got me on the run I'm driving in my car now Anticipating fun I'm driving right up to you, babe I guess that you couldn't see, yeah yeah But you under my wheels Why don't you let me be

She struts into the room Well I don't know her But with a magnifying glance I just sort of looked her over, hmm We have a drink or two Well, maybe three And then suddenly she starts telling me Her life story She says
Baby, if you wanna be my lover You better take me home 'Cause it's a long long way to paradise And I'm still on my own
Told her that I came .From Detroit City And I played guitar In a long-haired rock and roll band She asked me why The singer's name was Alice I said listen, baby You really wouldn't understand
And I said
Oh baby, if you wanna Be my lover You better take me home 'Cause it's a long long way to paradise And I'm still on my own
