Girl when you go You know I feel so alone And when you leave You know it causes me grief And when you say good bye, There's just one thing To ease my mind Turn around Walk away and let me See your back, Turn around and let me See you Turn around Walk away and let me Feel your back, Turn around and let me See you, feel you Turn around Walk away and keep it Coming back Turn around and let me See you, feel you, need you So walk away And show me just what I'll miss And in my grief I'll see you in profile and relief Girl, what you take away Could never fill the gap you leave Girl, when it comes to pass You know I've got your back, I mean it Girl, you've got me down on my knees My head bowed down, just praying for peace With a taste of what's not coming back Like a river through my mind Whoa-oh Girl when you go, you take something that was not mine to keep So walk away and leave me with this picture in relief In my mind's eye, I'll always see you walking away from me

Breathe Deep 03:33
When I got to Prenzlauer Berg There was still coal in the air I hadn't read a book in several months I hadn't held a job since I was seventeen Elbows on the table We drank some beers Our throats were moist But our minds were parched This must be remedied There was not much to talk about There was not much to say So we went out side and walked around With the word on our lips To wade in the shallow waters Boy you've got to breathe deep If you want to climb to heaven Boy just let the tea steep Oh it's a bitter weed But, oh, it was good to me As the water gurgled my spirits bubbled And the ceiling became the sky I've got a great idea Why don't you come a little bit nearer to me Be my anchor Or just sink my ship You know I've been far too long adrift You be the weight Now just hand me the tether We'll reach the bottom together Come on just Drag me down O honey please why don't you Drag me down Why won't you take me there O honey, please Come on just Get me high

On the road in '68 We kept it tricky to win it I met some hippie girl on Haight She said that she liked my pinstripes Tugging at my stray lapels, she said, "Honey, I like your style. I swing left and you swing right You could lean on me tonight If you stand on my other side." You don't have to ask me twice! Back on Massachusetts time Since about 1985 Swinging hard on the back nine For what felt like a lifetime I said, "Son you always pay for love. So go and get it before it dries up Pick that flower and fill your cup Or you'll be tugging your nethers Until they turn in to leather." When I blow up, you know I'm down. Like when your boyfriend's not around I know Jesus wouldn't mind So baby go on and drop that dime. I let it ring just one more time Like I was on the other line Baby put your hand in mine Just forget your convictions Come on let's make a connection Once is for the golden rule Twice is just so you can play the fool I'm going to take you right on back to school And teach you a thing or two About love About crime About style About rhyme About the devil About pie About my garden About forks and knives About love About crime About keeping it Keeping it under control (I want to live in the light of your smile Where saltwater freezes it's so goddamn cold And breathing the air keeps me from getting old How did I live without you so long?)

Strong Pants 04:02
A Summer is a long long time To hang your self out on the line, I guess But I was ready Ready since you told me that we'd set adrift On a house boat made of gingerbread I said, let's sail away now On that sea of chocolate milk I didn't know that you wanted to fight What you say to me, what you do to me The way you make me feel That's not right I should have known... Sometimes I feel like I'm breaking Sometimes I feel like I'm breaking through Sometimes I feel my hand shaking Sometimes I feel just like breaking you Fuck four on the floor I want it heavy on the one Make it feel like a ton when it drops Out on the dance floor Just a little bit more... Let's make 'em sweat Let's make 'em groove Let's forget that shit on the Internet I said... We'll make you feel alright I didn't know that you wanted to fight When the kick drops in and the snare pops out In the dark You can feel the light I should have known... Have you ever seen the air that we breathe? It gets so cold it's like a fog between us Do you feel the ice beneath your feet? It's getting weak I think we'll taste that gingerbread tonight. I'm going to put on my strong pants I'm going to put on my brave hat I'm going to put on my clever shoes And my irie shirt And a tie that says, "I never lose" I'm stepping to you I'm not giving it up Everything I do I do it for love
