Drinking my wine, makes me feel fine
Gonna have me a holiday
Poorman's party, rich man's daughter
Getting hotter and hotter
She's pushing way too hard
I don't want any part of her way
Drinking my wine, makes me feel fine
Gonna have me a holiday
It's a holiday
Mama, mama, please no more Jaguars
I don't want to be a pop star
Mama, mama, please no more deckhands
I don't want to be a sailor man
Mama, mama, please no more facelifts
I just don't know which one you is
Mama, mama, please no more husbands
(I don't know who my daddy is)
Drinking my wine, wasting my time
Hiding out in my rented dream
Looking for attention
A cover story mention in
'Life' magazine
Ask the chauffeur who he knows
Numbers he's got, lots of those
Drinking my wine, spending my time
Trying to run from this halloween
It's a holiday....
Showdown At The Border
His necktie is bright red
From lookin' in one direction
No flowerchild in his bed
He's got oil well protection
Just had to be a blind dog
Chewing on everything
Took a slice of the blackbird pie
She began her singing
I know that your oil is black
But your lipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That ain't what I need tonight
Showdown at the border
The rendezvous was neutral
He don't want no gossip headlines
Her polaroid blackmail
He said, 'No way I've had mine'
Just too much for him to lose
Because of some Cuervo passion
Cold, cold forty-five, answered in Texas fashion
Bright red went to his head
Tequila tension rising
This is no business for the weak at heart
This is no business for those with a nervous disposition
Tanned man from the FED's
Cool mohair buying off the squeeze
Showdown at the border
Talkin' To One Of The Boys
Everyone says connection is easy
I look at my score, experience none
Tossed a coin when I was seventeen
I got the ice, you got the cream
All that you see is stanger than fiction
All that you do defies all description
And you worry about your lack of existence
Then by all means go crazy
Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' a lot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' a lot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys
One of the boys told me what was
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it
Everything would be alright
(Or maybe you'll go crazy)
Talked to doctor scromaxy, mail order messiah
His black book is gospel, his scripture unclean
With mass consultation, a blind congregation
His chapter, his verse, and his profit ocscene
Correspondence, the back of a sin rag
If this is deliverence, life is a drag
Searchin' salvation, your sightlines get hazy
You got it right, go crazy
Heart's Grown Cold
Go out and have your habit
Keep on taking it
Keep on faking it
You're the one whose heart's grown cold
Go out and have your habit
You're the one that's taking it
You're the one that's faking it
You're the one whose heart's grown cold
I touch your lips with my fingertips
I hang on every breath you take
You don't need me like
I need you
You have your heartaches to climb
Everyday I just hope and pray
I just hope that you still have
That you still have your dreams
Come down and tell me that it's better
You're the one who's choosing it
You're the one who's losing it
You're the one who's got no soul
You're the one whose heart's grown cold
Oh baby don't you know that your heart's grown cold
Fast Cars
Fast cars
She lives at the best hotel
Big stars
She knows them all so well
Lost loves
She's had more than just a few
Wrong moves
She can afford more than you
She don't know, what real love is
She's always had, second best
Headlines
She's been there once or twice
Feeling fine
She has forgotten the price
Big Boy
A shoe shine boy gave me a nickel
With a smile on his face
The school kids would give me some gin
If I would let them in
They were shaking all over
Ran into a friend with a lonely lady on his arm
Woke up in my garage, I was holding my own
Can't remember where I'd been
I was aching all over
From rolling on the stone
I was aching all over from rolling on the hard stone
Oh, what a night you can have when you're a (real) big boy
(Oh, what a night)
Kissing cousins just ain't my style
Not like some knight in shining armour
We're touring with the sideshow
That was my blow
But we hung on for the fun
Lots of fun for everyone
Till the danger man with his danger plan
He took me aside
And then he took me apart
I was a young man with love in my heart
Oh, how he made me pay
It was the hard way
Talkin' 'Bout Love
You got lines guaranteed to please
You got stories you got boyfriends to tease
Money to burn
You got everything you need
Clever girl, never girl
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout you and me
Rio de Janeiro on your daddy's card
Party invitations you don't find it no hard
Lovers to burn
Matches in your book
Cruiser girl, user girl
That's what you get
When your heart's on fire for me
That's what you get
When your love's for hire
Penthouse suite
Dance and never stop
What's the matter
Don't ya wanna be on top
Nothin' to learn
Everythin' to lose
Lover girl, cover girl
Fallen Angel
If you've never had no one
Take the word of a fallen angel
If you never been nowhere
Take the word of a fallen angel
If you've ever been lonely
Take the word of a fallen angel
You know you're not the first to fall
And you know you won't be the last
In flight, you never think you can
Can be the one who's gonna crash
When you think you can't go on
Look around for a fallen angel
When you feel you're the lost one
Look around for a fallen angel
When you're hurting for someone
Look around for a fallen angel
Don't you think it's time to show
Don't you think it's time we know
What's in your heart
There's a lesson to be learned
Take the word of a fallen angel
There's a song for every heart
Take the word of a fallen angel
When you find out where you are
Take the word of a fallen angel
If you've never had no one
Ship Of Dreams
Here we are
We sail on a ship made of dreams
And I
I only exist to believe
The stars
The stars that I see watching me
Hold me close
Your arms and your love comfort me
The sea
Is deep and it waits endlessly
Oh why
To give just to take it from me
You are my ship
Sail my sea
I am a jar
Carry me
You are my dream together
You are my life
Here we are
We sail on a ship made of dreams
And I
I watch for a sign constantly
The sea
Is deep and it waits ceaselessly
Turning A New Leaf
Dragged up, raised tough
Born on mistake
Learned fast the golden rule
Never give, just take
Did no favours, gave no quarter
You all know the story 'bout
The lamb's broadway slaughter
Turning a new leaf
Street wise, cat's eyes
Showbusiness smile
Looking for today's mark
On the golden mile
Book wise, movie eyes
So cool dudes
Ain't gonna do no talking
When they find out they been used
Turning a new leaf
Got to make some time
Go through the changes
My whole life needs some rearranging
Self styled reject
Ambitious wisher
Also ran life style
Guaranteed user like a
Campaign promise from a three time loser
Got to make my move soon
Because beggars can't be choosers,
So I'm
Turning a new leaf
