Pariah

Recommended Posts

Bobby's drivin' through the city tonight
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to my baby

Johnny's takin' care of things for a while
And his style is so right for troubadours
They got him sitting with his back to the door
Now he won't be my fast gun anymore
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

Movin' on is a chance that you take
Any time you try to stay together
Whoa
Say a word out of line
And you find that the friends you had
Are gone forever
Forever

So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last
Some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

Movin' on is a chance that you take
Any time you try to stay together
Whoa
Say a word out of line
And you find that the friends you had
Are gone forever
Forever

So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last
Some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

I see life and it's passin' right before my eyes

And the past is the past don't regret it, time to realize

I need to walk on the wire just to catch my breath,

I don't know how or where but I'm goin' it's all that I have left

It don't matter where it takes me

Long as I can keep this feeling runnin' through, my soul

Never took this road before -- destination unknown

Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown

Won't be coming back this way gotta go it alone

Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown

See a chance gotta take it wanna meet my fate

'Cause the last thing I ever wanted was to find out it's too late

No way out when you're in it deeper than the night

There's a light at the end of the tunnel and I see it burning bright

It don't matter where it takes me

Long as I can keep this feeling soarin' through, my soul

Never took this road before -- destination unknown

Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown

Won't be comin' back this way gotta go it alone

Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown

At home

Drawing pictures

Of mountain tops

With him on top

Lemon yellow sun

Arms raised in a V

And the dead lay in pools of maroon below

 

Daddy didn't give attention

Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care

King Jeremy The Wicked

Ruled his world

 

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in class today

 

Clearly I remember

Pickin' on the boy

Seemed a harmless little f**k

But we unleashed a lion

Gnashed his teeth

And bit the recess lady's breast

 

How could I forget

And he hit me with a surprise left

My jaw left hurting

Dropped wide open

Just like the day

Oh, like the day I heard

 

Daddy didn't give affection, no!

And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear

King Jeremy The Wicked

Ruled his world

 

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in class today

 

Try to forget this (try to forget this)

Try to erase this (try to erase this)

From the blackboard

 

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in, spoke in

Jeremy spoke in, spoke in

Jeremy spoke in class today

 

(spoke in) (spoke in)

(spoke in) (spoke in)

(spoke in) (spoke in)

Well I started out down a dirty road

Started out all alone

And the sun went down as I crossed the hill

And the town lit up, the world got still

 

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings

Coming down is the hardest thing

 

Well the good ol' days may not return

And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

 


I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings

Coming down is the hardest thing

 


Well some say life will beat you down

Break your heart, steal your crown

So I've started out for God knows where

I guess I'll know when I get there

 

I'm learning to fly, around the clouds

But what goes up must come down

 


I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings

Coming down is the hardest thing

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

I had the radio on, I was drivin'

Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway

I was flyin'

 

Yeah runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

 

I felt so good like anything was possible

I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes

The last three days the rain was un-stoppable

It was always cold, no sunshine

 


Yeah runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

 


I rolled on as the sky grew dark

I put the pedal down to make some time

There's something good waitin' down this road

I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

 


Yeah runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

Eddie waited til he finished high school

He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo

He met a girl out there with a tattoo too

The future was wide open

 

They moved into a place they both could afford

He found a night club he could work at the door

She had a guitar and she taught him some chords

The sky was the limit

 

Into the great wide open

Under them skies of blue

Out in the great wide open

A rebel without a clue

 

The papers said Ed always played from the heart

He got an agent and a roadie named Bart

They made a record and it went in the chart

The sky was the limit

 

His leather jacket had chains that would jingle

They both met movie stars, partied and mingled

Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single."

The future was wide open

 


Into the great wide open

Under them skies of blue

Out in the great wide open

A rebel without a clue

Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free ?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street ?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more ?
Tell me can you ask for anything more ?

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and weeds ?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me

Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more ?
Tell me can you ask for anything more ?

These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display

Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free ?
If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me

She's a good girl, loves her mama

Loves Jesus and America too

She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis

Loves horses and her boyfriend too

 

It's a long day livin' in Reseda

There's a freeway runnin' through the yard

And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her

I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

 

And I'm free, free fallin'

Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

 

All the vampires walkin' through the valley

Move west down Ventura Blvd.

And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows

All the good girls are home with broken hearts

 

And I'm free, free fallin'

Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

 

Free fallin', now I'm free fallin'

Now I'm,

Free fallin', now I'm free fallin'

 

I wanna glide down over Mulholland

I wanna write her name in the sky

I'm gonna free fall out into nothin'

Gonna leave this world for awhile

 

And I'm free, free fallin'

Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

 

Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

Oh ! Free fallin'

Now I'm free

Oh !

Free fallin'

Streets like a jungle

So call the police

Following the herd

Down to Greece

On holiday 

Love in the 90s

Is paranoid

On sunny beaches

Take your chances looking for

 

Girls who are boys

Who like boys to be girls

Who do boys like they're girls

Who do girls like they're boys

Always should be someone you really love

 

Avoiding all work

Because there's none available

Like battery thinkers

Count your thoughts on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 fingers

Nothing is wasted

Only reproduced

Get nasty blisters

Du bist sehr schön

But we haven't been introduced

 


Girls who are boys

Who like boys to be girls

Who do boys like they're girls

Who do girls like they're boys

Always should be someone you really love

Honey don't walk out, I'm too drunk to follow
You know you won't feel this way tomorrow
Well, maybe a little rough around the edges
Or inside a little hollow,
I get faced with some things, sometimes
That are so hard to swallow, hey!
I was born a rebel, down in Dixie
On a Sunday morning
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel
She picked me up in the mornin', and she paid all my tickets
Then she screamed in the car
Left me out in the thicket
Well I never would of dreamed
That her heart was so wicked
Yeah but I keep comin' back
Cause it's so hard to kick it, hey, hey, hey
I was born a rebel, down in Dixie
On a Sunday morning
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel
Even before my father's father
They called us all rebels
While they burned our cornfields
And left our cities leveled
I can still feel the eyes of those blue-bellied devils
Yeah, when I'm walking round at night
Through the concrete and metal, hey, hey, hey
I was born a rebel, down in Dixie
On a Sunday morning
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel

It's alright if you love me
It's alright if you don't
I'm not afraid of you running away
Honey, I get the feeling you won't

There is no sense in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do
We said all there is to say

Baby Breakdown
Go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown honey take me through the night
Breakdown now I'm standing here can't you see
Breakdown, it's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Breakdown
Go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown honey take me through the night
Breakdown now I'm standing here can't you see
Breakdown, it's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well it was kind of cold that night,
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Step into the light
Your on
Hook into the night
That look from eye to eye
A flash gets passed around
A band of wild angels
Rockin heaven down

Roll, roll, roll
Roll out the soul
You get that feel
And everybody knows
You're moving their minds
Moving their minds around
Rockin heaven
Rockin heaven down

You step into the night
On your way back home
What a scene it was tonight
I'm so glad I'm not alone

That look in your eye
Makes me come unwound
Come on baby let's go
Rockin heaven down

Roll, roll, roll
Roll out the soul
You get that feel
and everybody knows

You're moving their minds
Moving around
Rockin heaven down
Rockin heaven down

Rock me home
Rock me home

Now see what you've gone and done.
 
Now you never did see such a terrible thing
As was seen last night on T.V.
Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again
Such a terrible thing to see
There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line
You've got to go domino.
 
Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine
I know what I must do
Play the game of happiness and never let on
That it only lives on in a song
There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line
You've got to go domino.

Everything's so blurry

And everyone's so fake

And everybody's empty

And everything is so messed up

Preoccupied without you

I cannot live at all

My whole world surrounds you

I stumble then I crawl

 

You could be my someone

You could be my scene

You know that I'll protect you

From all of the obscene

I wonder what you're doing

Imagine where you are

There's oceans in between us

But that's not very far

 

Can you take it all away ?

Can you take it all away ?

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away ?

Can you take it all away ?

Well you shoved it in my face

 

Everyone is changing

There's no one left that's real

So make up your own ending

And let me know just how you feel

Cause I am lost without you

I cannot live at all

My whole world surrounds you

I stumble then I crawl

 

And you could be my someone

You could be my scene

You know that I will save you

From all of the unclean

I wonder what you're doing

I wonder where you are

There's oceans in between us

But that's not very far

 

Can you take it all away ?

Can you take it all away ?

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away ?

Can you take it all away ?

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

 

Nobody told me what you thought

Nobody told me what to say

Everyone showed you where to turn

Told you when to run away

Nobody told you where to hide

Nobody told you what to say

Everyone showed you where to turn

Showed you when to run away

 

Can you take it all away ?

Can you take it all away ?

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away ?

Can you take it all away ?

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

 

This pain you gave to me

This pain you gave to me

 

You take it all

You take it all away...

This pain you gave to me

You take it all away

This pain you gave to me

Take it all away

This pain you gave to me

You put your hand on your head

Put your foot in the air

Then you hop around the room

In your underwear

There ain't ever been nothin' quite like this

Come on baby it's the Wilbury twist

 

Lift your other foot up

Fall on your ass

Get back up

Put your teeth in a glass

Ain't ever been nothin' quite like this

It's a magical thing called the Wilbury twist

 

Everybody's trying to do the Wilbury twist

China, Belgium, France, Japan

Thailand, Poland, Pakistan

Everybody's trying to do the Wilbury twist

 

You roll up your rug

Dust your broom

Ball the jack

Howl at the moon

Ain't ever been nothing quite like this

Everybody's talkin' about the Wilbury twist

 


Everybody's trying to do the Wilbury twist

Puerto Rico, U.S.A.

England, Cameroon, Norway

Everybody's trying to do the Wilbury twist

 


Turn your lights down low

Put your blindfold on

You'll never know

When your friends have gone

Could be years before you're missed

Everybody's trying to do the Wilbury twist

 

It's a different dance

For you all to do

Spin your body (Very versatile)

Like a screw (Spin your body like a screw)

Better not forget it on your shopping list

You can stop and buy one 

It's the Wilbury twist

 

Ain't never been nothin' quite like this

Better come and get it, it's the Wilbury twist

 

I guess by now you've got the jist

Everybody's crazy 'bout the Wilbury twist

You're leaving now

It's in your eyes

There's no disguising it

It really comes as no surprise

To find that you planned it all along

 

I see it now

Becomes so clear

Your insincerity

And me all starry-eyed

You'd think that I would have known by now

 

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky

This lie is over

Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

 

(Only time will tell)

One thing is sure

That time will tell

(Only time will tell)

If you were wrong

The brightest ring around the moon

Will darken when I die

 

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky

This lie is over

Gone, like the tears that used to tide me over

 

You're leaving now

It's in your eyes

There's no disguising it

It really comes as no surprise

And me all starry-eyed

This lie is over

Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

 

(Only time will tell)

You're on your own

Inside your room

(Only time will tell)

You're claiming victory

You were just using me

And there is no one you can use now

My uncle has a country place, that no-one knows about

He says it used to be a farm, before the Motor Law

Sundays I elude the ‘Eyes’, and hop the Turbine Freight

To far outside the Wire, where my white-haired uncle waits

 

Jump to the ground

As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline

Run like the wind

As excitement shivers up and down my spine

 

Down in his barn

My uncle preserved for me an old machine –

For fifty-odd years

To keep it as new has been his dearest dream

 

I strip away the old debris, that hides a shining car

A brilliant red Barchetta, from a better, vanished time

Fire up the willing engine, responding with a roar!

Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime…

 

Wind in my hair –

Shifting and drifting –

Mechanical music

Adrenalin surge –

 

Well-weathered leather

Hot metal and oil

The scented country air

Sunlight on chrome

The blur of the landscape

Every nerve aware

 

Suddenly ahead of me, across the mountainside

A gleaming alloy air-car shoots towards me, two lanes wide

I spin around with shrieking tires, to run the deadly race

Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase

 

Drive like the wind

Straining the limits of machine and man

Laughing out loud

With fear and hope, I’ve got a desperate plan

 

At the one-lane bridge

I leave the giants stranded

At the riverside

Race back to the farm

To dream with my uncle

At the fireside…

Been beat up and battered 'round

Been sent up, and I've been shot down

You're the best thing that I've ever found

 

Handle me with care

Reputations changeable

Situations tolerable

But baby, you're adorable

Handle me with care

I'm so tired of being lonely

I still have some love to give

Won't you show me that you really care

 

Everybody's got somebody to lean on

Put your body next to mine, and dream on

 

I've been fobbed off, and I've been fooled

I've been robbed and ridiculed

In day care centers and night schools

Handle me with care

 

Been stuck in airports, terrorized

Sent to meetings, hypnotized

Overexposed, commercialized

Handle me with care

 

I'm so tired of being lonely

I still have some love to give

Won't you show me that you really care

 

Everybody's got somebody to lean on

Put your body next to mine, and dream on

 

I've been uptight and made a mess

But I'll clean it up myself, I guess

Oh, the sweet smell of success

Handle me with care

Every time I look into your lovely eyes,

I see a love that money just can't buy.

One look from you, I drift away.

I pray that you are here to stay.

 

Anything you want, you got it.

Anything you need, you got it.

Anything at all, you got it.

Baby ! 

 

Every time I hold you I begin to understand,

Everything about you tells me I'm your man.

I live my life to be with you.

No one can do the things you do.

Anything you want, you got it.

Anything you need, you got it.

Anything at all, you got it.

Baby !

Anything you want

Anything you need

Anything at all

 

I'm glad to give my love to you.

I know you feel the way I do.

Anything you want, you got it.

Anything you need, you got it.

Anything at all, you got it.

Baby ! 

Anything you want, you got it

Anything you need, you got it

Anything at all, you got it

Baby

Anything at all

Baby

You got it

I had to escape

The city was sticky and cruel 

Maybe I should have called you first 

But I was dying to get to you 

 

I was dreaming while I drove the long straight road ahead, uh-huh, yeah 

Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide 

This fever for you was just burning me up inside

 

I drove all night to get to you 

Is that all right ? 

I drove all night, crept in your room 

Woke you from your sleep to make love to you 

Is that all right ? 

I drove all night

 

What in this world 

Keeps us from falling apart? 

No matter where I go I hear 

The beating of our one heart 

 

I think about you when the night is cold and dark, uh-huh, yeah 

No one can move me the way that you do 

Nothing erases this feeling between me and you, oh

 

I drove all night to get to you 

Is that all right ? 

I drove all night, crept in your room 

Woke you from your sleep to make love to you 

Is that all right ? 

I drove all night

 

Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide 

This fever for you was just burning me up inside

 

I drove all night to get to you 

Is that all right ? 

I drove all night, crept in your room 

Is that all right ? 

I drove all night

Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
To the hours and minutes tickin' away
Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
While it was all just slippin' away
I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
And a woman I can call my friend

These are better days baby
Yeah there's better days shining through
These are better days baby
Better days with a girl like you

Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
It's sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon
Your heart like a diamond shone
Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
Out of these hard luck bones

These are better days baby
These are better days it's true
These are better days
There's better days shining through

Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
And can't stand the company
Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
And turning his heart to stone
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
And I feel like I'm comin' home

These are better days baby
There's better days shining through
These are better days
Better days with a girl like you

These are better days baby
These are better days it's true
These are better days
Better days are shining through
