The Wallflowers Şarkı Sözleri ( Lyrics ) 6th Avenue Heartache Sirens ring, the shots ring out A stranger cries, screams out loud I had my world strapped against my back I held my hands, never knew how to act And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache Below me was a homeless man I'm singin' songs I knew complete On the steps alone, his guitar in hand It's fifty years, stood where he stands Now walkin' home on those streets The river winds move my feet Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams They stood by me, just like moonbeams Look out the window, down upon that street And gone like a midnight was that man But I see his six strings laid against that wall And all his things, they all look so small I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star Just like me-just moved on...

After The Blackbird Sings After The Blackbird Sings I'm finding it hard, Just to keep up with someone Who's hangin' onto nothin Only to lose what's never mine. And I'm finding it hard Just to keep up with something That's hangin' on to nothin To keep all these chains tied up and in line, in line. Pretty Angel, She bites the hands of the lion, Ties it up with ribbon, Watches as hound dogs Bang on her drums, drums. It's so, it's so easy for you to love nobody, It's so easy for you, 'cause you're not tryin' anymore. I seen this girl She had her hands full of lightning, She rolled it down to me, A Lolita smile, With a thorn in her eyes. Now she, she spun the world, Up on the edge of a pearl, A carnivals girl, Up on a ferris wheel forever, forever. It's so easy for you to love nobody, It's so easy for you, 'cause you're not tryin' anymore, Just don't try anymore. Now she, she howled like an owl Only to fall like a sparrow And lay beside the scarecrow But after the Blackbird sings Is the song, the song. It's just so easy, It's just so easy for you to love nobody, It's just so easy for you, 'cause you're not tryin' anymore... The Wallflowers |
Angel On My Bike Angel On My Bike She knows just what I like The angel on my bike She found me down on a two ton anchor Tangled up in wire She always gets it right The angel on my bike I could be killed if the train goes faster Well angel watch my life I can't handle a care I want, but I can't be there While angel's a prayer It's 45 miles on that highway Angel double prayer I have to sleep with my eyes on the white lines Elvis need of repair I only wanted to believe That angel it's me that you need And there's only, only one heart on that highway Angel double prayer I can't handle a care I want, but I can't be there While angel's a prayer I can't handle a care I want, but I can't be there While angel's a prayer Now it's hard time on these wheels These fairytales Turn to rusted steel and it's Gettin' hard now to believe She's seein' me Angel, please, tell me Can't you see Angel it's only me Angel it's only me Well I can't take a care Man, I want, but I can't be there While angel's a prayer I can't handle a care Well, I want, but I can't be there While angel's a prayer...

Another One In The Dark Another One In The Dark We took 'em high, we took 'em straight up the hill, They wanted it all, we gave 'em such a fill. In their parades we stole every thrill And in their games we made every kill. We took them hard, we took them up against the wall. In their loss we never let them fall In their flames we sailed up to the moon In their rains we slayed dry like a fire would. So the bottom of my fears Is that the girl might just disappear, But that'll be the death of me, The day she's just a memory Well she turned out the lights When she opened the whites of my eyes Another one in the dark Broken hearted mama Just another one in the dark. When we rolled, rolled on like a big drum, We went to the top just above everyone, They wanted to win, tie us up with a string, and steal everything. We took 'em skin on skin, we laid 'em down in the ring. So I swear, we're a pair, Like loneliness and a prayer, And you know I may still believe, You may still need me. Well, she turned out the lights When she opened the whites of my eyes Another one in the dark Broken from the start Just another one in the dark. And in their nights we made out with a loud scream, And in their sleep we howled inside every dream, So if you're trying to break me, Come on why don't you shake me, Right out of my tree, The one that you made me, me Well, she sang out of tune, When she shot down the moon, As I saw my all freeze, Down onto my knees, Where I was hit at the hip, Between the cup and the lip, As I was struck down under With lightning and thunder, As she cut all the strings That I'd tied to her wings Leaving me in the dark, We stood just feet apart, But she never seen me at all...

Ashes To Ashes Ashes To Ashes Well, you could walk like a stranger head back into here, Bringing gifts while you act so sincere, Bringing gifts for a boy who's five years, Looking for rocks and training wheels. I don't remember you from any of those books, Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box. Where did you ever learn to treat me like that? You don't seem to have any of that family stuff, You know the hardwood floors and all that penniless rough. Your bad luck follows you like a heart attack, Twist your fingers, soon as break your back. I don't remember you from any of those books, Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box. Where did you ever learn to treat me like that that that? It's coming from another with a mother who's just like yours, Givin' you headaches and all those mental scores. Give a little, have a little, take some for yourself, Like the needy and the greedy always seem by themselves, Well, you must be, have to be one of these, Hidin' in the shade under your family tree Think I met you once in a liquor store, No think I saw you hanging by the stage door Handing out programs to the family theater Devised a role so you don't mistreat her. Take it wild, take it fast, You never gave yourself a chance. I don't remember you from any of those books, Ashes to ashes and six feet under, face down in a box. Where did you ever learn to treat me like that, that, that, that? The Wallflowers |
Asleep At The Wheel Asleep At The Wheel Do you ever stop to count all the invitations At the end of the day when it comes down to one decision Of dead beat girls and freaks at a peoples convention, All these sugars with no vitamin sensation. Do you ever stop to look over old relations, Or look to the belly of another one's emotions, Someone young in the winds of a revolution Trying to save his face in the evolution. Asleep at the wheel, No windshield, But you know that the streets Here don't change. He's kept alive in the chain of mental starvation, Bone rail skinny, only feeding off frustration. Unlike you who seem bred from corruption Feeding off the plates of an ununited nation. Asleep at the wheel, No windshield, But you know that the streets Here don't change. With a lover in the street whose waiting to make a connection To be the mother to the soul of your next abortion, She'll steal your money with the eyes of a baby's complexion Then she'll laugh at you and your sexual invention. Smelling like a rose, in the flowers of devotion, Devoted the heat of a spotlight in motion, With a face full of mud even though you were only joking As if you really understood the value of isolation. Asleep at the wheel, No windshield, But you know that the streets Here don't change. Your tongue so fast like a freight train coming on rollin Every smile you give's just to keep your mouth from clothin Every engine burns as a sign of the explosion Locked in neutral your engines are broken. Like candle wax that sun melts into the ocean, Like the moon that lights the tracks of the old train station, You can color in the lines of mother earth's addictions, And not hold a gun in the face of the Earth's abduction Asleep at the wheel, No windshield, But you know that the streets Here don't change...

Be Your Own Girl Be Your Own Girl I know you're tired of waking up on the floor Pushed to the edge with nothing heavy to hold Using your clothes as a blanket and a bed Holding your hands just to lay your head. I know you don't remember ever falling down, Who picked you up, who gathered around But you don't have to be his girl And you don't have to be my girl You can always be your own girl. With the sound of your feet you follow yourself to sleep Restless and ageless and looking for somethin' to keep, When you finally fall asleep you're awake in dreams, Hanging by the ankles in a skeleton ravine. I know you've kicked the lights, fell on your shoes, Punched out the colors, leaving you the blues. But you don't have to be his girl And you don't have to be my girl You can always be your own girl. There's a soft melody that's ringing in my ears Simple and slow and it always brings you here With broken crayons you've scribbled on the wall Shapes of nothing and shadow box them all. Your fingertips are broke and your knees don't bend, Your imagination took the worst hit and cut it's skin. But you don't have to be his girl, You don't have to be my girl, You can always be your own girl. There's a soft melody that's ringing in my ears And it's the same one you could never avoid in yours, And if you lay down you can hear from tongue to tails About a tattooed rhythm and drumming by color wheel. Your rung is broken on the bottom of the rope And you can't tie another, another knot of hope. And you don't have to be his girl And you don't have to be my girl You can always be your own girl...

Bleeders Bleeders Once upon a time They called me the bleeder Well swimmin' up this river With sentimental fever But this ain't my first ride It ain't my last try Just got to keep a-movin' on If they catch me ever They'll throw me back forever I guess I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds They say you're only sad and lonely And no one is impressed I sent it off in a letter I need somethin' better Than a nail and a hammer To put me back together But this ain't my first ride It ain't my last try Just got to keep a-movin on Got to keep this together Maybe next time is never Sometimes I must confess I do feel a little over dressed Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well Where you threw the penny and where it fell I guess I should I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds I guess I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds They say you're only sad and lonely And no one is impressed...

For The Life Of Me For The Life Of Me Well, I know you find it hard to smile, To keep your happiness in style You pass in silence in the mornin You know you shouldn't ever try to ignore me. And you look to be pretty nervous Sweaty hands and blood shot eyes. So hard to identify you, Just a loser in a loser's disguise. She don't back down, And she won't come around here Now there's all this talk about dying Well I don't get it, for the life of me. With your fingernails painted red And your eyes all ready to wed Decorated from head to toe Like a magician in a talent show. She don't back down, And she don't come around here. An' there's all this talk about dying, Well I don't get it, for the life of me. So you've smoked your last cigarette Burned coldly on a train from Tibet And broke your last bottle of wine And unraveled your last ball of twine. Well, she don't back down, She don't come around here Now there's all this talk about dying, Well I don't get it, for the life of me. She don't back down, She don't come around here Now there's all this talk about dying, Well I don't get it, for the life of me. Well, I know you find it hard to smile To keep your happiness in style You pass in silence in the mornin You know you don't usually ignore me. Now there's all this talk about dying, Well, I don't get it, for the life of me... The Wallflowers |
God Don't Make Lonely Girls God Don't Make Lonely Girls Senorita Looks like you ain't done nothing good women ain't supposed to do Oh no no no no I seen her downtown 'Bout an hour ago Behind the glass at a peep show I got nervous 'cause I don't know Can she see me behind that window? It's almost nine and I'm back in line I can't get the girl with the Spanish tears Out of my mind I've got to make her mine, all mine But somethin' is wrong She don't belong She oughta be back where she's from Maybe back home is Mexico City Man, I don't know her But she sure is pretty But God don't make lonely girls Sure didn't want 'em in His world God don't make lonely girls Yeah, yeah, doo doo doo doo Now when I make that girl all mine I'm gonna stand by her Once I get inside of Her barbed wire Once I get inside I bet she'd look good in a brand new dress She never felt good in her fish net She's got to be this towns best mess But it ain't nothin' that her face would suggest I gotta make her see I'm a guarantee Oh, if she'd only come along with me Well I can make her see Gonna take a walk right through these walls 'Cause she's comin' home with me I ain't even gonna touch her at all Man, I'm only gonna lay awake and watch her sleep...

Hollywood Hollywood You talk so loud, you talk so much and you talk so funny, But honey, what are you talkin' about ? Something 'bout being, being reimbursed For every unregistered virus. Drainpipes are filled up with dirty rain, And the leisure train is speeding in the diamond lane. With electricity shut off again Leaving the night-life only for the madmen. Oh my God They've sold Hollywood, Burned down my neighborhood, Even shot Robin Hood. An' oh my God, I guess it was never understood, To understand brotherhood Right from wrong And the bad from the good. Well, everybody's got their own smoke-screens With personal armies for everyone in between. With plastic rifles given to every team What a beautiful dream, even bullets have guarantees. An' oh my God They've sold Hollywood, Burned down my neighborhood, Even shot Robin Hood. An' oh my God, I guess it was never understood, To understand brotherhood Right from wrong And the bad from the good. There's the sweetest evil image detector As sweet as nectar, an overrated candy dispenser. She don't give food to eat or anybody, anyplace to sleep, But she can tell you, what you can and what you can't create. An' oh my God They've sold Hollywood, Burned down my neighborhood, Even shot Robin Hood. Oh my God, I guess it was never understood, To understand brotherhood Right from wrong And the bad from the good. An' oh my God They've sold Hollywood, Burned down my neighborhood, Even shot Robin Hood. An' oh my God, Guess it was never understood To understand brotherhood Right from wrong And the bad from the good... The Wallflowers |
Honeybee Honeybee Seen the shadow on my wall Turn and fall On broken hands and all Turn and crawl Seen that sun gone down And the waterfall She stood tall in the fallen rain Right off an orphan train She'll run to me again, I believed, See how wrong, how wrong you can be. I know who watches you, Who watches me ? I know who hears you, Who hears me ? If my eyes blind, Who'll see The best in me ? I hear all the lonely cries Underneath all these lies She can't get them by, Or through me. See how wrong, wrong you can be. My honey bee, Why are you flyin' so far from me ? She keeps her hands so free And walks through me, Straight on through the dead of night Her face is painted white By these street lights. They hold you down so tight And like hounds they bite. She fell down in her diamond suit On lonely avenue, her color's only blue She won't take clues, See how wrong, how wrong you can be. My honey bee What on earth are you trying to do ? And where that hero falls, I held on I always thought I'd see the lights close on me And the water freeze, surrounding me. Look how wrong you can be. My honey bee Why are you flyin' so far from me ? The Wallflowers |
I Wish I Felt Nothing I Wish I Felt Nothing Say when you're alone It's better 'cause nobody knows you When no one's your friend It's better 'cause nobody leaves you So you turned your back On a world that you could never have 'Cause your heart's been cracked And everyone else's is goin' mad But I hear voices And I see colors But I wish I felt nothing Then it might be easy for me Like it is for you Now all of these people Come up from deep holes Pullin' you down And it's just no use When all the abuse follows you down By the morning you've gone Leavin' me here all alone Sayin' it's no mystery I know that nobody here needs me And I know you believe that you and me don't belong here And the worst we could do Is keep trying to pretend we care... The Wallflowers |
Invisible City Invisible City Lookin' back at the crash site I don't see me by the roadside Well this heart is on wheels tonight Straight through the ghettos And without lights Now every heart has a blind side Where it learns how to improvise Well this place is a whorehouse tonight Cheaper lovers make expensive wives But all of these horses That you chase around In the end they are the ones That always bring you down This invisible city Where no one sees nothing We're touching faces in the dark Feelin' pretty is so hard Now all of these voices And all of these noises With all their illusions of choices They've come to my door With one dozen roses The imitation of good faith Is how you stumble upon hate It may have been the first of mistakes When we held on too loosely Then opened the gates Now I try not to tell lies But there's pressures from inside So I've learned how to compromise Good people for alibis... The Wallflowers |
Josephine Josephine I feel pretty good I feel all right And I've been thinkin' maybe I could spend the night I know you've been sad I know I've been bad But if you'd let me Make you ribbons from a paper bag Josephine You're so good to me And I know It ain't easy Josephine You're so sweet You must taste just like sugar & tangerines I won't make a sound Sleep on the ground When you wake I will Drive you into town I missed your smile Your schoolgirl style But I never had much fun Maybe the very first mile Don't you know I watched you walkin' home from school Your friends on the old playgrounds You never looked so down Won't you come and help me with these cuts of mine? I've disconnected my heart And cut myself on the wires Josephine I know I was wrong I knew all along But I got so far from my home I never thought I'd be so lonesome... The Wallflowers |
Laughing Out Loud Laughing Out Loud Man, you oughta finish what you've started You can't leave me here alive Well I know it started as a fist fight But you've got me covered up in hives I don't need an invitation The best peach is at the top of that tree But when all this indecision reigns So aimlessness that helps me see straight You got me walkin' up a tightrope With vaseline from my head to my feet You got me lookin' into blindfolds But I know you've got your hands all over me So when all these imitations fail Just don't look back 'cause I won't be there Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just what it was all about Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just why you push me around Well I'm doing time inside a grapevine Little things amuse little minds Well, nothin's free except a little bit of bad advice On how to live on only water, bread and rice I don't need an invitation The best peach is at the top of that tree So when all this nighttime vision fails I'll lose all these chains and slip out of this jail... The Wallflowers |
One Headlight One Headlight So long ago, I don't remember when That's when they say I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn The long broken arm of human law Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face So I wondered how she hung around this place Hey, come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me & Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said it's cold It feels like Independence Day And I can't break away from this parade But there's got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed And I seen the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead We'll run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothin' left She hit the end-it's just her window ledge Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams I think her death it must be killin' me... The Wallflowers |
Shy Of The Moon Shy Of The Moon Pretty little girl on the side of the road Yellow hair in a yellow bow Little thumb sticking in the exit lane Two packs of smokes and a candy cane With women hips and baby lips A Hallelujah book in the back of a pillow-slip. If she gets out of here too soon She'll run fast by the shy of the moon. If she's been havin' the same old dreams, Of lullabies and pale blue skies Fallen asleep beneath the stars, Orion aims and shoots his arrows oh so far Aims 'em hard, He shoots the moon and takes her as his own reward. If she's gonna see those stars too soon She'll run fast by the shy of the moon. If she found out so long ago That she wants more than all she knows The river ends right as she goes, Water breaks and she's gone down in the undertow, She's below, But I'll stand tall and hold up high my mistletoe. She's gonna shine just like brand new, She'll take my hand and we'll run by the shy of the moon... The Wallflowers |
Sidewalk Annie Sidewalk Annie She told you about it through a broken bleeding windpipe. It shook your bones and made your life feel skintight. Well, Sidewalk Annie Now your coattails have come undone, Your whisper's a scream now Since you don't speak to anyone. The howlin' winds could never care what she liked, Rhythm and Blues or A Stranger In The Night It tore up the trailer with the sounds of a howlin' wolf, The cellar was stone, even the garden was bulletproof. Well, Sidewalk Annie Now your coattails have come undone, Your whisper's a scream now Since you don't speak to anyone Little girl in your white ice skates, We've seen your face walkin' around the old school gates, With a hand on your hip and the other one on your head, You realized it wasn't gone, but lost instead. Sidewalk Annie Now your coattails have come undone. Your whisper's a scream now Since you don't speak to anyone. Invested a nickel into the banks of a wishing well And blew out the candles and hoped for somethin' that she could, she could sell. Sidewalk Annie Now your coattails have come undone. Your whisper's a scream now Since you don't speak to anyone... The Wallflowers |
Somebody Else's Money Somebody Else's Money We can buy that mansion on the hill, We'll fill it up until it's filled. We'll buy a big black Cadillac And we'll keep an extra one in the back. We'll sit home just listening To the sounds of the winds when they're breaking And we can buy that diamond ring And just about any other thing With somebody else's money. We can buy you that flower garden With every rose that's ever risen. With a blanket and a safety pin We'll keep away all the boogie men. And we can buy you that swing Swing through the skies openings And we can buy that diamond ring And just about any other thing With somebody else's money. We can tattoo nickels on our skin, We'll drain our veins and put honey in. We'll buy new fingers two times ten, We'll even put pennies in our chins. We'll buy a silver set of wings, Lay 'em on our backs for the winds And we can buy that diamond ring And just about any other thing With somebody else's money. We'll crash in on the neighbors wedding, We'll steal the cake and go running. You'll head straight for the jewelry And I'll steal the money like a lottery. We'll buy a set of legs just for walking, And another set of tongues for when we're small talking, Another set of lips for being obscene And another set of heads for Halloween. And we can buy you that swing To swing through the skies openings. We can buy that diamond ring, Just about any other thing, With somebody else's money. We can buy babies for the babies, We'll give them both big red ponies. They'll live in that mansion on the hill That we'll keep on fillin' until it's filled. We'll watch the neighbors fatten up with greed Watching us buying everything we don't need I know they're listening Through a telescope from across the street Watching us fillin' up the bathtubs with sweets Money, money, money. Money on the floor put money in the beds Put money in the drains Money coming out of our heads, Money, money, money. We can kill many a dirty man Work by the church when they bring us in. We can buy anything Because there's always something That's so funny about spending Somebody else's money... The Wallflowers |
Sugarfoot Sugarfoot Sugarfoot's got two hands Just as long as he can see, One hand in the birdfeed And a hand in the apple tree. He stands in line, just a little behind A yellow moon that hangs, he's all tangled and he broke his sticks on the links Of his own chain gang. You oughta see this home that he own, It's like a box of jewelry, He's got his own church bell And his bed it lays in a gallery. And all the colors they shine like flames Coming in through the window pane, They end up getting checked over twice For the reds of someone's veins. It's so cold and blown all apart, It's so cold and needing of a heart. He stands alone on the top of his home Where all the blue birds flown, Sucks in on his cheeks and he cries As he moans through a saxophone. He reaches high with his hands in the sky And puts his fingers right into the storm Always one to stand under the moon And blow on his own horn. And anyone with anything has already begun to think That somebody down there knows Just how he sat down on his knees in the dirt And buried someone's rainbow. It's so cold and blown all apart, It's so cold and needing of a heart. It's so cold and blown all apart, It's so cold and needing of a heart. Well, I know you ain't my enemy, The only one's inside of me, He's killing me getting free. I hear he wants my head with an old ice pick And fix me up on a stick. An' all I've ever got to be Is everything I wanna be And Sugarfoot disagrees, He still stands tall underneath that apple tree Man, he's still watching me. His chain gang is tryin' to pull me down Like the birds and the fireflies. They shoot arrows up into the skies And they burn all the feathers dry. Well, he only wants to fill his belly up With rocks till it hurts, then he stops. Well, he don't know what to do with love If it don't fill his belly to the top. It's so cold and blown all apart, It's so cold and needing of a heart. It's so cold and blown all apart, It's so cold and needing of a heart... The Wallflowers |
The Difference The Difference One, two boys by the river Down by the water Tellin' riddles in the dark With fireflies under the moonlight Carvin' the insides of a tree with a knife Ever hear the one about the boy's big sister His best friend come along He tried to kiss her The only difference That I see Is you are exactly the same As you used to be One boy lives in a tower With bow and arrow And the artificial heart With his girl Miad of dishoner He loaded the cannon With a jealous appetite They say that children now They come in all ages And maybe sometimes old men die With little boy faces You always said that you needed some But you always had more, more than anyone...

Three Marlenas Three Marlenas Alone tonight in somebody's bed She gone and dyed her hair red She only went and did what she did 'Cause he would drive her home then There's lipstick on her new dress She hadn't even paid yet But it doesn't matter where the money went It wasn't how she paid 'er rent One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us Now lookin' out across the city lights She thought they'd be a good pair Now he could make a living sellin' cars Maybe she could work there She's gonna pick a star in the night And pray to make it all right She tried so hard not to pick a kite She always prayed to heaven lights One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us One, two, three Marlenas It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us The three Marlenas Man, I think I'm gonna buy myself a Rolls Maybe a Chevrolet One where I can pull that top down Just let my radio play Now I'm headin' out on that highway I'm goin' right out of state Now I ain't lookin' back until I'm gone Right through heaven's gates One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us One, two, three Marlenas Ya see no, speak no, hear no evil among us The three Marlenas Three Marlenas Three Marlenas...
