The hand that gave the rose is clenched into a fist With eyes pleading to know what those lips have kissed The hand that those lips chose hides just out of view For no man can oppose what those lips can do what those lips can do The hand that built that fire and burned down all the trees Was conquered by desire saying please baby baby please please baby please baby please Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah didn't you know what those lips can do?

When we finally came together the sun was floating down Dripping gold over new and old setting slowly into town The days work was well behind us as we walked in through the door Always new faces fill up the spaces out here on the floor I'm livin' on sitcoms and margaritas winking at all of the pretty senoritas tonight under the spanish moon Maria came in dressed in red and the men charged her like bulls She sidestepped them gracefully, grabbed a hold of me and to the dance floor she pulls She always gets me going, i hope we dance 'til dawn Get lost in a haze but then the song fades and the moment is gone I'm livin' on sitcoms and margaritas winking at all of the pretty senoritas Senor won't you pour me just one more before we hit the street Maria maria maria let me see you move those feet tonight under the spanish moon The next morning I have my morning coffee and paper I take a walk to clear my head Finish work by three and come home to see Maria sleeping in my bed So I wake her up for dinner and we run into some friends The setting sun says the night has begun, here the party never ends I'm livin' on sitcoms and margaritas winking at all of the pretty senoritas Senor won't you pour me just one more before we hit the street Maria maria maria let me see you move those feet tonight under the spanish moon Oh nice to meet ya senorita, it's just a little ciudad but it's full of vida Baila maria, maria, maria, maria, maria, maria tonight Under the spanish moon

There's a few things I have left to say Before I meet my judgement day and Go gently into that good night First I want you to know how I see The things you do and you believe And separate what's wrong from right So let the tape roll, take my thoughts All the presents that people brought Won't buy your souls redemption There's some things you just gotta do Those little voices telling you all know What's wrong and right You know it won't be long it won't be long It won't be long before you're gone and then It will be too late So my mind is always running like a clock ticking the time It's not gonna stop until the end of the line And with all the best intentions I will find my way You move in circles, gentle curves Going with the road that swerves The movement is fast below your feet You're looking for your one true love Up there on the hill above but Always just out of reach You are somehow wild and true There is no ruler over you You are one who was born free Still it's dangerous to lack beliefs You can make the best of life and grief If you live by some kind of lessons But I don't blame you for lack of faith When beliefs have bred this much hate Even the Pope is asking questions My fingertips feel nothing but my heart is filled with joy In search of glory everywhere I am an ever-changing boy With all the best intentions and that's all I have for you Empty minds on MTV They brainwashed the whole family With jealousy of the perfect looking person I don't have no PhD But I can see it's not reality The full truth we won't be seein' And I don't know which way to go I'm misguided by TV shows My days are lately more confusin' These images teach me to fight When I was born I had it right Since then it seems I'm only losin' We're bought into by what will sell Most of which lead straight to hell But what do we care we've got no religion My fists are clenched in fury But I'm peaceful as a dove As long as my heart's beating It will be full of love And all the best intentions until the beating stops So when you get the wink of death You only get a few more breaths Until you sleep forever But in that sleep perchance to dream How perfect oh it all would seem I wouldn't mind dreaming forever While big boys carry loaded toys Capable of death and noise With the movement of just one finger Still all of their greatest fears Seem to be somewhere near Going alone through this big bustling world And girls are equally resolved Sex is where it all revolves The universe is one long night and it's bright with color

I'm drunk as hell and I'm playing chess My friends know that I mean the best I'm a cowboy from the wild west so they don't mind They don't mind As I stumble down to the village feast I kill a man talking to the priest I'm buying brand new guns for the police so they don't mind They excuse my crime I'm standing naked on the mountain top I'll be raising hell 'til the day I drop The elders say someday I'll stop so they don't mind They don't mind All the animals up on the hill Keep on peeking in through my windowsill 'll eat rice and beans until I've had my fill they don't mind They don't mind Lately for the village whore sex just seems like such a bore just one pair of legs they're gonna find some more so they don't mind They captured me as I slept in bed Pushed in pins until my skin bled But it's okay my favorite color's red so I don't mind I don't mind Hey I don't mind

There's only been one love i knew With whom i could share my secrets true Only one who cut me to the core The love we knew i can't explain Though i may try and try in vain My words may never claim that shore Still everyone with whom I dine I raise up my glass of wine to the simple love of eleanor She had skin like a rich coffee roast Curves like the california coast And two eyes boasting more I see her on the boulevard Barefoot dancing through the yard I feel her in a hard downpour but I could never feel inferior Or ever be superior to the simple love of eleanor in this maze she waits to meet me but other men are out to beat me that would've never tried to cheat me before Late one night i heard a whisper I ran to the place where I first kissed her But my stairs must have missed her floor At the end of her labyrinth I will know the scent of hyacinth And then I'll be almost in the door But the home stretch always feels the longest My heart still beats the strongest for the simple love of eleanor

Ten thousand miles stretch out far behind you But you've gone somewhere no one's gonna find you No one's gonna mind you or the way you feel Welcome to the land of the automobile… automobile The wheels are always spinning through a land that never sleeps Late night joy riders fly by where the widow weeps Be careful on the highway or you'll become a vulture's meal Tales are tragic in the land of the automobile… automobile This land is your land this land is my land for better or for worse You start in a car-seat and you finish in a hearse Getting faster, more efficient, features fully ranging One massive mess of metal highway interchanging We got one to put out fires and a vehicle to heal Welcome to the land of the automobile… automobile Last night I dreamed I died and ascended up to heaven's gate I got in line behind the others for one hell of a wait I prayed that I may enter, before God I did kneel you know what he said… This land is your land this land is my land for better or for worse You start in a car-seat and you finish in a hearse

Mother may I Say I'm scared to death May i lay my head Where i can feel your breath Mother may i Stay inside today and hide away And will you sing me songs That send me gently off to sleep And talk of dreaming doves Singing softly to sheep Mother may I rest my head I know only you can heal me Mama what about your boy Mother may I Say I'm scared to death May i lay my head Where i can feel your breath Oh and mother please Don't, don't leave me in the night To 'waken full of fright Mother may I rest my head I know only you can heal me Mama, what about your boy Mama, what about your boy Mama, what about your boy

I fell in love But I could never tell Wouldn't wanna break the spell Just in time Right when we are leaving Oh well oh well oh well You know you don't have to go I know I know that you are gonna go Oh well oh well oh well I fell But I could never tell Wouldn't wanna break the spell A happy ending? I guess But only if this is where the movie ends Before we have to leave I cannot believe I fell oh well oh well I fell in love…
