I could see through the sleeve on her blouse
The plans of her architect lover
A tattoo of a boarded-up house
And ink door that belonged to another

Well, it seems just like a freeze-out
Seems just like a freeze-out
Seems just like a freeze-out
An undisclosed, deeply wooded
Lose your way route

Squirrels imported from Connecticut
Just in time for fall
How much fun is a lot more fun?
Not much fun at all

I hear a smile and a tear in you voice
Don't lay the groundwork for a case of remorse

Is the problem that we can't see, or is it that the problem is beautiful to me?

Yeah, I loved being my mother's son
I loved her so because
She was so good and kind to me
She was, she was, she was

I am trying to get at something so simple
that I have to talk plainly
so the words don’t disfigure it.

We've been playing tambourine for minimum wage

Ten thousand afternoons ago
All my happiness just overflowed
That was life at first and goal to go

"what’s got you so flustered? things aren't so bad my friend.
what causes you to struggle, to writhe and twist and bend?
I hate to see you suffer, but i just cant comprehend,"
said the candle in the window to the candle in the wind.

Darkness and cold, darkness and cold
Patiently encroaching on the animal
The weather of forever retaking control
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

You took your love to the marketplace
In the wanton corner of a Western state
Where every other shopper is a basket case
Just realizing the horizon forms a frowning face

Radio's on, feeling all right
Cruising the strip on a Saturday night

Let's go hunting blackbirds
Let's throw snowballs from the bridge
Fireplace burns backwards
Let's not and say we did
There's a trapdoor in the country
Where we can disappear

I've got that Friday night fever
Sometimes a man just needs a breather
She knows I love her and I need her
And I'm no cheater
I've just got that Friday night fever

There must be a pool out behind the church
'Cause he looked so cool in the back of a hearse
After his debutante trial
All the citizens began to dress in his style
Oh, yeah
It's a beautiful, beautiful world

Her sweater had faces all over it, famous faces knitted all over it
The porch swing ticked off Central Daylight time
"How many hours do you think it'll take me to smoke this cigarette?" she said with a smile
