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

  • Roll out the red carpet, ring the bell Don’t let them see how your days roll by I know you’re real but that’s just as well There’s just no substitute for you and I Bring out your dead, let them jump and shout Pour out your pain til your dogs run free I may be wrong but there’s just no doubt That you’re as precious as a girl can be Though you’ll be the death of me Let the silence be your melody Let this darkness be your light Let your heart break Let your faith shake Open up your eyes and see Everything you are to me Lay down your cross, soften up your mind Call out my name til your tears run dry I may be cruel but you’re just too kind One day you’ll wave all of these tricks goodbye Find yourself a place to die Let the silence be your melody Let this darkness be your light Let your heart break Let your faith shake Open up your eyes and see Everything you are to me Roll my stone Oh won’t you take me home Oh my sweetheart It’s me and me alone I hear all that I need to hear Before Abraham was I am And so the sound of these beating drums Well she’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes Yes she, yes she will She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes Yes she, yes she, yes she will She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes Yes she, yes she, yes she will She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes Yes she, yes she, yes she will She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes
  • 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 cheek 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 There's just one thing, baby, I can 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 Well, little sister I can handle the thought of you despising me Dancing on my grave and baptizing me As long as, baby, you don't lie to me I'll pay my till, 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 It's 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 With your ignorant 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, runnin' out, runnin' out Ahhhhhhh!

  • Saw the night give way Where the light was golden So I took my leave Of all that I was holding Darling come the day When your nightmares fall I’ll be on that first plane home And we’ll outrun them all Well I guess it’s sweet We still live like strangers in the street It’s the cruelest thing When the word is spoken I swear it’s a sin To see you heartbroken Darling come the day It’s too much to breathe I’ll hold this space for you And I won’t let you leave I will keep the beat We’ll still move like strangers in the street Darling come the time When you slip away I’ll be that whispered word That hangs around your doorway Our tale complete We’ll still dance like strangers in the street
  • Red eyes, tell me twice Sure I’ll put my hopes on ice Fair skin, empty face Help me keep my nerve in place Read my lips, time slips Slowly from your fingertips Make my night, hold tight Thrill me till my teeth go white Be my myth or be your sin Save me at your own expense Well it’s just like a girl I can keep a boy guessing I’ll wring you by the neck and I’ll teach you such a lesson I’ll bleed from my profession Here is my confession Give me half a chance and you can be my new obsession I’ll take your only sympathy Put me out my misery Blow me one more kiss and baby you can have the best of me Next time we wed I’ll be on my best behavior Next time we wed I’ll be everybody’s savior Next time we wed Darling I’ll be a saint I’ll be wrong when you’re right Keep my mouth shut and lips tight Beg from my toes to my head The next time we wed Tell me this for nothing Make me dignified Kiss me as you’re leaving Just so you can say you tried Make me sentimental Beat me black and blue Hit me up it’s just so simple Darling I’m too good for you Well it’s just like a girl I can keep a boy guessing I’ll wring you by the neck and I’ll teach you such a lesson I’ll bleed from my profession Here is my confession Give me half a chance and you can be my new obsession I’ll take your only sympathy Put me out my misery Blow me one more kiss and baby you can have the best of me Next time we wed I’ll be on my best behavior Next time we wed I’ll be everybody’s savior Next time we wed I’ll be handsome in the daylight Next time we wed Oh honey I will lose my stage fright Next time we wed I won’t specialize in failure Next time we wed I’ll be everybody’s savior Next time we wed Honey I’ll be a saint I’ll be wrong when you’re right Keep my mouth shut and lips tight Beg from my toes to my head The next time we wed The next time we wed The next time we wed The next time we wed
