Текст песни:

Well I never thought of myself as a subtle kind of man I dreamed I was alive one time before the world began And every time I walk the street my troubles drag my heels I could not pretend that I wasn’t lost in how it feels I’m gonna be your Elvis I’m gonna be your Steve McQueen I was dead long before I was born, my mother did proclaim Send him back to Jesus, tell him I was not to blame Well well well tell me how can I refuse When every angel left in heaven bet that I would lose The sound of frozen bells and horns was all that I could hear And every word that I ignored was ringing in my ear I could not pretend that I was even half amused When all they ever told me left me shaken and confused I’m gonna be your Elvis I’m gonna be your Steve McQueen I’m gonna be the man you could not dream Well I shaked out right on down the road til no one knew my name The future came and went so fast I almost bet the same I slept a guilty sleep for seven years I was a ghost Of everyone I ever loved I loved myself the most When everyone was breaking up I was breaking down I kept myself amused in high heeled shoes and sequin gowns Those voices on the radio, they all just made me numb So I covered up my ears with bandages and bubble gum And I boarded up the windows and I denied that I was me I sold my brains for science and my soul for security Now I’m a walking shadow of the fool I used to be I heard they held my funeral and there was no one there but me I’m gonna be your Elvis I’m gonna be your Steve McQueen I’m gonna be your terrorist I’m gonna be your Steve McQueen I’m gonna be the man you could not dream The man you could not dream The man you could not dream The man you could not dream The man you could not dream

  • Hello stranger, it’s been oh so long Since we rode our luck where we once belonged I think of you sometimes when the air is clear I wonder are you near? Sometimes the end is sweet Though when it comes to you, my poor heartbeat Gets out of sync and time plays tricks Old visions of you are where this boy sticks I see you in these books I read Are you still being born at breakneck speed? Sometimes there’s no confession On this earth that will not leave you bound Listen to the streetcars breathing The night is young and life is calling I’ll see you when the dream gets moving Lift your eyes, the world is watching And after all, we both know how this ends We both know we must give back what we spend Hello stranger did you ever find All those priceless jewels that you kept entwined? I sometimes hear your name when the day gets slow I wonder did you know I left your house praying While those words I spoke hung upside down? Listen to the streetcars breathing The night is young and life is calling I’ll see you when the dream gets moving Lift your eyes the world is watching And after all we both know how this ends We both know we just give back what we spend Listen to the streetcars breathing The night is young and live is calling I’ll see you when the dream gets moving Lift your eyes the world is watching So lose those sad eyes and be on your way Keep your friends close and your love on display And after all, we both know how this ends We both know we must give back what we spend Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day
  • You wear your mask, I’ll wear mine They don’t come cheap, but they fit just fine You can be her and I can be him We can both sink when the rest don’t swim Little by little by little by little by little by little by little Little by little by little by little by little by all day long We can pretend that our fates are entwined The beautiful lies the beautiful kind Everybody knows that the sun still sets And everybody gives and everybody gets Little by little by little by little by little by little by little Little by little by little by little by little by all day long Little by little by little by little by little by little by little Little by little by little by little by little by all day long I can be the one that you just can’t shake Till you swear that your eyes go blind We can disappear till the sun burns a hole In the life that we left behind And I just won’t stop till my heart gives way And you and I are a long lost myth There’s nothing very much that I wouldn’t do To be the last of the men that you romanced with The last of the men that you romanced with Little by little by little by little by little by little by little Little by little by little by little by little by all day long Little by little by little by little by little by little by little Little by little by little by little by little by all day long You wear your mask I’ll wear mine They don’t come cheap but they fit just fine We can pretend that our fates are entwined The beautiful lies the beautiful kind
  • Well let me tell you something Let me tell you so This could be the one thing That you really need to know You gotta stop once in a while And shake off that face of yours Cause nothing comes easy Oh it just comes free You could sing it better If you sing for me, oh sister Well I cannot claim This advice as my own I learnt it in the gutter One night crawling home She said don't you look rediculous I checked her out meticulously And I would've stopped to argue But my teeth were broke I said I'd love to condradict you But my life's a joke, oh sister And she said I'm no genius and I've lost myself The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf And it's a one time, keep it slow Wind 'em up and here we go Get it right today And you may still be here tomorrow Some said she was saintly Some she was a swinger Me, I only knew her as the Acid Jazz Singer, come on Well I'm a lucky man But maybe so is she And maybe this is just the way it has to be It's all based on speculation It's a crazy my occupation to me And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call I really didn't wanna miss a single thing at all Oh sister And she said I'm no genius and I've lost myself The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf And it's a one time, keep it slow Wind 'em up and here we go Get it right today And you may still be here tomorrow Some said she was saintly Some she was a swinger Me, I only knew her as the Acid Jazz Singer, come on And she said I'm no genius and I've lost myself The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf And it's a one time, keep it slow Wind 'em up and here we go Get a ride today And you may be here tomorrow Some said she was saintly Some she was a swinger Me, I only knew her as the Acid Jazz Singer, come on I haven't seen her lately Well, I'll have to ring her Put your hands together for the Acid Jazz Singer, come on
  • Well little girl you can roll your eyes at the very sight of me Do everything in spite of me But baby don’t you lie to me I’ll take your mood swings I’ll dig a hole in your dishonesty I will kneel down in your company But baby don’t you lie to me I’ll be your red-cheeked lover And your man of regret There’ll be no desert too dry and no ocean too wet I’ll be your punchbag substitute I’ll sharpen your claws When you come tumbling down you’re still in my thoughts Well there’s just one thing baby I could never abide No matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try You can tell me that I’ll never be free But baby don’t you lie to me Well little sister I can handle the thought of you despising me Dancin’ on my grave and baptising me As long as baby you don’t lie to me I’ll bend until you have broken my will I’ll be no enemy You’ll never hear so much as a complaint from me As long as baby you don’t lie to me Well you can take my house Don’t take my pride Take all my valentines cards and tear them open wide Chase my friends, ruin my name I won’t ever fight back I’ll be easy to blame Well there’s just one thing baby I will always despise Not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes I got only one reasonable plea Baby don’t you lie to me Burn my house, throw me out, pull me down, sell my clothes I’ll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows I’ll be anything you need me to be Baby don’t you lie to me Every time your lips move baby Someone somewhere’s bound to cry I don’t even think you’re quite aware of how or why Life for you could be so easy If you’d only shut your mouth Every time you feel those words come Runnin’ out [x12] Ahhhhh There’s just one thing baby I could never abide No matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try You can tell me that I’ll never be free Baby don’t you lie to me Drag my name and reputation over the cold hard stones Break my heart up into pieces honey Shatter my bones You can kill me with your repartee, Baby don’t you lie to me Well there’s just one thing baby I will always despise Not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes I got only one reasonable plea Baby don’t you lie to me Burn my house, throw me out, pull me down, sell my clothes Oh Yeah! I’ll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows I’ll be anything you need me to be Baby don’t you lie to me
