10. When Susannah Cries
I saw her first
She came around
That day my angel came to town
This is just a love song
Her shine was white she rode the light
She let her wings go where they might
'cos she looked to be a wild one
She just got in my car and said
"boy take me to wherever you want"
All I want is an angel
And I know she will stay on my mind all the way
All I want is an angel
One like you
Like you
We drove all day we didn't stop
Along the way until the top
Of the cliff by the sea
She played her tapes of afghan wigs
'cos that's the rock-n-roll she digs
It was all a fantasy
And when the night tumbled down on us
Her name was tattooed over my heart
All I want is an angel
And I know she will stay on my mind all the way
All I want is an angel
One like you
Like you
The moon was high and so was I
'cos I was drowning in her eyes
And while the waves crashed to the shore
I would politely ask for more
I didn't even know her name
But frankly that was all the same
Because I just could not believe
That this was happening to me
All I want is an angel
I can hold on a leash
Who will do what I please
All I want is an angel
Just for me
For me
All I want is an angel
And I know she will stay on my mind all the way
All I want is an angel
One like you
Like you
I'm lying wide awake in bed
My eyes are closed just like I'm dead
My friends all think that I'm a bore
But I don't need them anymore
I don't get up I don't get out
I have no life to speak about
It feels so good to leave the blame with you
So that's what I do
I'm going down
Come around
Watch me when I hit the ground
Give me just one fix of your
Your sweet American love
I'd go blind
Lose my mind
Leave the world I know behind
Just to feel it one last time
My sweet American love
My telephone is off the hook
My eyes are closed I'm scared to look
I bet you're happy now you're free
But what about poor little me
I draw your picture on the wall
My phone is dead and still you call
My mama asked I told her I get by
That's such I lie
I'm going down
Come around
Watch me when I hit the ground
Give me just one fix of your
Your sweet American love
I'd go blind
Lose my mind
Leave the world I know behind
Just to feel it one last time
My sweet American love
I've kept the things you gave to me
The air is clear but I can't see
And a cheerful radio boasts that "love is in the air"
But it's so full of shit
A Sony, is it?
So what do you have to leave me for
Was it my hair was I such a bore
Well you know baby
You were always my only choice
Oh my god here I go again I'm
About to get in deep
I'm completely obsessed with you and
That's why I lose my sleep
Can I be your shepherd can I hold the torch and light the way
I just wanna hold you smell you have you every day
Can I have your inner secrets can I write about them in a song
Just don't keep me hanging I've been hanging much too long
Oh baby you're so cool
So beautiful I bet you rule
And you're nobody's fool
Oh baby you're so cool
I love your white lies your spunk your grand prize
The evil in your eyes
Your smell your levi's your taste your dress size
Your see-through alibis
I follow you around all day I cling to you like I'm some kind of tail
I sleep outside your doorstep and sometimes I even read your mail
I watch you every weekday and I watch you sundays in the park
Baby are you nuclear 'cos you're glowing in the dark
Oh baby you're so cool
So beautiful I bet you rule
And you're nobody's fool
Oh baby you're so cool
My perversion my introversion has got me on my knees
Let's get down and explore each other so I can find some peace
One look at you it's clear I've never wanted anyone this bad
I'm pretty damn sure you're better than the best ones that I've had
You're such a trip just watching you sends shivers down my spine
I bet you're really bad for me now I just gotta make you mine
Oh baby you're so cool
So beautiful I bet you rule
And you're nobody's fool
Oh baby you're so cool
Baby it's been quiet here without you
Since our love split up and parted ways
I just watch the time pass by the hour
And the hazy nights turn into days
Guess you think that I'm some kinda moron
Guess you've told your friends that I'm a freak
Guess you've told them all about my secrets
Guess you've made them think that I'm so weak
It's a shame about the weather
It's a shame about the crime
It's a shame about elvis
It's a shame about the times
It's a shame that the stories
You have heard of me are true
It's a damn shame but most of all
It's a shame I'm losing you
Oh it's a damn shame about you
Baby does it ever make you wonder
How we ever came to get this far
Living in a time warp with a nosebleed
Nothing ever seemed to be too hard
Baby are you happy where you are now
Let me know 'cos I have no idea
You should know I love you 'til it kills me
But you're better off without old me
It's a shame about the weather
It's a shame about the crime
It's a shame about elvis
It's a shame about the times
It's a shame that the stories
You have heard of me are true
It's a damn shame but most of all
It's a shame I'm losing you
Oh it's a damn shame about you
It's such a damn old shame
And here we go again
It's such a damn old shame
We got ourselves to blame
Hauling ourselves through pain
We got it going again
It's such a damn old shame
It's a shame about the weather
It's a shame about the crime
It's a shame about elvis
It's a shame about the times
It's a shame that the stories
You have heard of me are true
It's a damn shame but most of all
It's a shame I'm losing you
Oh it's a damn shame about you
Once in a while
When I'm sleeping
My horses are wild
And I'm weeping
Just like a child
I wake up dreaming that I've been loved
Nights are in blue
And castillian
Thinking of you
Senses reeling
Diving into
Faithful feeling that I have been loved
Lucky for you
You know what to do
When somebody hurts you
Somebody enters your life, disappears
Leaves you in tears
Stirs up your fears, oh yeh
If you have a clue
About what to do
Then it's lucky for you, zeah, zeah
Still lucky for me
You're amazing
You made me see
Sparks come blazing
I was lucky to be
Made to feel like I had been loved
Lucky for you
You know what to do
When somebody hurts you
Somebody enters your life, disappears
Leaves you in tears
Stirs up your fears, eah, eah, eah
If you have a clue
About what to do
Then it's lucky for you
I didn't think you would sacrifice
U-u, the love I made you receive, no, no
I'd pay a grand for some paradise
I'm just too scared to believe, o-o-oh!
Instrumental
Lucky for you
If you know what to do
When somebody hirts you
Somebody enters your life, disappeares
Leaves you in tears
Stirs up your fears, eah, eah, eeh
If you have a clue
About what to do
When somebody hirts you
Somebody enters your life, disappeares
Leaves you in tears
Stirs up your fears, o-o-oh
If you have a clue
About what to do
Lucky for you
Babe it's me calling
Are you alive and well
How is your mama has the weather been ok
Do you forget me
Do you exclude my name
When you narrate your life to all your newfound friends
But I am creeping up on you
Keeping an eye on what you do
Baby there is gonna be
No more playing games with me
You should not be
Messing with me
Try me and you will see
Baby don't be
Messing with me
I can't wait to make you see
Give me your money
Give me your peace of mind
Just give me something in return for what you stole
I'm cut but no bleeding
Scarred but not torn apart
I just need something kinda strong to fill the hole
Well you can change your haircut change your name
I am gonna find you all the same
Baby there is gonna be
No more getting smart with me
You should not be
Messing with me
Try me and you will see
I wanna know
Where do you go
And where is that leaving me
Never thought I'd get to see
The jealousy livin' inside of me
You should not be
Messing with me
Try me and you will see
Baby don't be
Messing with me
I can't wait to make you see
You should not be
Messing with me
Try me and you will see
I wanna know
Where do you go
And where the hell is that leaving me
I used to love the girl but
Now I just don't know
Don't get me wrong now she could not
Have loved me more
It's just that the time has come for me to be gone
I guess I should be moving along
But when the city calls out her name
I'll be missing her
oh I'll be missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much so much then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much then
When I am half asleep sometimes I hear her voice
Wish I could tell her it's all right wish I had a choice
But hey
I guess it was not meant to be
I guess she was not meant for me
And when the city calls out her name
I'll be missing her
Oh I'll be missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much so much then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much then
I just got to break her heart this one last time
But then she'll find her peace of mind
And when the city calls out her name
I'll be missing her
Oh I'll be missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much so much then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much so much then
Missing her then
Missing her then
Missing her so much then
What if I said you had to leave me
Would you believe that it was you I was thinking of
What if I told you just to fly free
Would you believe it was so you'd be better off
What if I told you I'm ready
What if I told you I'm prepared to make that sacrifice
Would you believe it was the best I could do
Well maybe not, but it's true
'cos I would even die for you
If I told you that I've loved you from that first sight
Would you believe me for I swear I tell no lie
What if I told you that just last night
I made my mind up and I promised not to cry
What if I told you I'm ready
What if I told you I'm prepared to make that sacrifice
Would you believe it was the best I could do
Well maybe not, but it's true
'cos I would even die for you
So now my love I have to leave you
For once my words have to replace your tender love
That always paints my sky in clear blue
To try and paint this final portrait of my love
'cos baby now I am ready
'cos baby now I am prepared to let you out of my life
And when you said my eyes were beautiful
That's 'cos they were looking at you
Goodbye my love just do what you do
There's a place by the river in the back of my mind
Daddy you showed me but back then I was blind
Just give me directions I promise I'll go
Please let me see 'cos I'm too young to know
Let me see 'cos I'm too young to know
I found what I searched for a warm august night
In a dream in a desert I was high as a kite
When I finally learned how to manage my states
I pured out my heart on the buffalo tapes
Oh those beautiful buffalo tapes
So give me one by land
Give me two if the sea
Give me three if my cool friends are asking for me
Tell them I have gone fishing
And that no one knows where
'cos daddy they hate me when I am not there
Oh they hate me when I am not there
Oh the tip of my pen has run totally dry
From hundreds of letters to you asking why
They sent invitations then hated my stay
They're shooting my wings while I'm flying away
They're shooting my wings away
Now I'm happy that I've broken free
Daddy is it all that I hope it will be
Please let me see 'cos I'm too young to know
Let me see 'cos I'm to young to know
When Sussanah cries
She cries a rainstorm
She cries a river
She cries a hole in the ground
She cried for love
She cries a sad song
She cries a shiver
Sometimes she cries for me too
And I say I'll never hurt her
But she knows it isn't true
'Cause although I never told her
I think she knows 'bout me and you
Now she cries a silent tension
This can't be right
And the downtown special cries along
'Cause I'm leaving tonight
When Sussanah cries
She cries a rainstorm
She cries a river
She cries a hole in the ground
She cried for love
She cries a sad song
She cries a shiver
Sometimes she cries for me too
Now I sit the nite around her
And I hope she'll be OK
I just pray someone will find her
And guide her on her way
'Cause I'm leaving on the one
Am and by soon I'm out of sigh
But she'll always be my baby
Though I'm leaving tonite
Every night I hear her
Talking in her sleep
She says you know I'll always be there
And I feel like such a creep
Please take back the love she gave to me
And in time the grief may pass
Just tell her that I love her
Now it's all she has
When Sussanah cries
