[00:48.220]Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
[00:53.000]Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
[00:56.900]If I said that you're my friend
[01:00.060]And our love would never end
[01:04.350]How long before I had your trust again
[01:05.580]I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
[01:08.850]Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
[01:13.080]But how can I protect you
[01:15.190]Or try not to neglect you
[01:17.170]When you won't take the love I have to give
[01:21.520]I bought me an illusion
[01:23.410]An I put it on the wall
[01:25.620]I let it fill my head with dreams
[01:27.570]And I had to have them all
[01:29.770]But oh the taste is never so sweet
[01:31.730]As what you'd believe it is-
[01:33.690]Well I guess it never is
[01:35.440]It's these prejudiced illusions
[01:37.510]That pump the blood
[01:38.940]To the heart of the biz
[01:48.380]You know I never thought
[01:49.970]That it could take so long
[01:51.900]You know I never knew how to be strong
[01:53.830]Yeah, I let you shape me
[01:57.800]But I feel as though you raped me
[01:59.650]'Cause you climbed inside my world
[02:01.440]And in my songs
[02:03.920]So now I've closed the door
[02:05.280]To keep the cold outside
[02:07.890]Seems somehow I've found the will to live
[02:11.810]But how can I forget you
[02:13.780]Or try not to reject you
[02:15.860]When we both know it takes time to forgive
[02:22.650]Sweetness is a virtue
[02:24.470]And you lost your virtue long ago
[02:26.330]You know I'd like to hurt you
[02:28.410]But my conscience always tells me no
[02:30.740]You could sell your body on the street
[02:32.920]To anyone whom you might meet
[02:35.010]Who'd love to try and get inside
[02:36.970]And bust your innocence open wide
[02:39.730]'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
[02:41.920]My baby's gone off the track
[02:43.160]My baby's got a locomotive
[02:45.320]Got ta peel the bitch off my back
[02:47.850]I know it looks like I'm insane
[02:52.170]Take a closer look I'm not to blame
[02:56.490]No
[03:05.500]Gonna have some fun with my frustration
[03:08.460]Gonna watch the big screen in my head
[03:12.460]I'd rather take a detour
[03:14.460]'Cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
[03:16.310]Your train of thought has cut me off again
[03:20.220]Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
[03:23.330]Better tame that boy for he's a man
[03:28.820]Sweetheart don't make me laugh
[03:30.490]You's gettin' too big for your pants
[03:32.340]And I's think maybe you should
[03:34.380]Cut out while you can
[03:37.230]You can use you illusion-
[03:38.710]Let it take you where it may
[03:40.980]We live and learn
[03:42.200]And then sometimes it's best to walk away
[03:44.970]Me I'm just here hangin' on
[03:46.900]It's my only place to stay at least
[03:49.170]For now anyway
[03:50.840]I've worked too hard for my illusions
[03:52.830]Just to throw them all away
[04:03.390]I'm taking time for quiet consolation
[04:07.100]In passing by this love that's passed away
[04:11.090]I know it's never easy-
[04:12.810]So why should you believe me
[04:14.890]When I've always got so many things to say
[04:18.970]Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
[04:22.220]'Cause playful hearts
[04:24.140]Can sometimes be enraged
[04:27.630]You know I tried to wake you-
[04:29.370]I mean how long could it take you
[04:31.490]To open up your eyes and turn the page
[04:37.610]Kindness is a treasure-
[04:39.340]And it's one towards me you've seldom shown
[04:41.640]So I'll say it for good measure
[04:43.570]To all the ones like you I've known
[04:45.730]Ya know I'd like to shave your head
[04:47.690]And all my friends could
[04:50.060]paint it red
[04:52.210]'Cause love to me's a two way street
[04:52.770]An all I really want is peace
[04:53.890]But my baby's got a locomotive
[04:57.010]My baby's gone off the track
[04:58.720]My baby's got a locomotive
[05:00.750]Got ta peel the bitch off my back
[05:03.150]I know it looks like I'm insane
[05:04.870]Take a closer look I'm not to blame
[05:11.580]No
[05:42.550]Affection is a blessing
[05:44.360]Can you find it in your sordid heart
[05:46.150]I tried to keep this thing
[05:48.340]ta-gether
[05:49.100]But the tremor tore my pad apart
[05:50.840]Yeah I know it's hard to face
[05:52.540]When all we've worked for's gone to waste
[05:54.650]But you're such a stupid woman
[05:56.540]And I'm such a stupid man
[05:58.170]But love like time's got its own plans
[06:00.220]'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
[06:01.350]My baby's gone off the track
[06:02.890]My baby's got a locomotive
[06:04.980]Got ta peel the bitch off my back
[06:07.320]I know it looks like I'm insane
[06:10.910]Take a closer look I'm not to blame
[06:14.580]Yeah
[06:17.670]If love is blind I guess
[06:21.540]I'll buy myself a cane
[06:58.260]Love's so strange
[07:05.370]Love's so strange
