now and then i think of when we were together
like when you said you felt so happy you could die
told myself that you were right for me
but felt so lonely in your company
but that was love and it’s an ache i still remember
i am the captain of my pain
tis the bit, the bridle,
the trashing cane
the stirrup, the harness
the whipping mane
the pickled eye
the shrinking brain
ever since i held your face
i soar through space,
iām floating with you…
she was all right because the sea was so airtight, she broke away
she was all right but she can’t come out tonight, she broke away
she was all right, yeah the sea was so tight, air tight
she broke away, broke away
you’ve got to burn to shine,
but you were born under a bad sign,
with a blue moon in your eyes.

beginning to think that i’m wastin’ time
don’t understand the things that i do
‘cause the world outside looks so unkind
now i’m countin’ on you to carry me through
hope their tour includes u.s. dates….

beating up the wrong guy
oh man! wonder if he’ll ever know
he’s in the best selling show
