Flying Saucer People

I used to act We made a cow I played the ass part of the cow Some girls they sang and danced And put on some makeup And this guy showed up with music flying out of his mouth And it was just like the movies Like some flying saucer people Coming high in the sky But this ain’t the movies And I’m not like those people in the movies Walking down High Street This used to be my street But today stay away ‘cause a movie’s being made And a scrappy PA says I gotta go another way I say hey lemmetellyasomething, You know just ‘cause you’ve got all of that cash Shouldn’t give you the right of way, no ‘Cause money can’t buy class And the last time I asked everybody said your movie sucked ass So let me pass ‘Cause this ain’t the movies Ain’t no flying saucer people Coming to say hi No this ain’t the movies And I’m nothing like those people in the movies na na na naaa na (na na na naaa naaa na) This ain’t the movies! na na na naaa na (na na na naaa naaa na) This ain’t the movies! na na na naaa na (na na na naaa naaa na) This ain’t the movies! na na na naaa na (na na na naaa naaa na) This ain’t the movies! na na na naaa na (na na na naaa naaa na) ——-

I left you once on the night train I left you once once on the night train I left you once on the night train I left you once once once but baby here we go again Lost my baggage many times Singing someone else’s rhymes Thought you’d save me from myself Until I found my love sittin’ on your shelf I left you once on the night train I left you once once on the night train I left you once on the night train I left you once once once but baby here we go again The sun can’t hold me to a face Though I give anything for a taste The things I like, you know they always hurt Oh oh but in this life you got guns and you got church I should know better than to be smart Your love it hit me like a poison dart I should know better than to be smart Your love it hit me like a poison dart I left you once on the night train I left you once once on the night train I left you once on the night train I left you once once once but baby here we go again again again again again again I left you once on the night train I left you once once on the night train I left you once on the night train I left you once once once but baby here we go again ——-

So it comes to this The same temptation wearing a different face You think you can fool me – uh uh The jailhouse door is swinging open But I’m just staring out through the bars The jailhouse door is swinging open But I’m just staring out through these bars What happened to the man I thought I was becoming? Now my heart is trapped My arms are wrapped Holding an empty bag of dreams Thought I’d let the past become the past When I was so young and stupid To think I was any different I thought I had you fooled The jailhouse door is swinging open But I’m just staring out through the bars The jailhouse door is swinging open But I’m just sitting here watching TV The jailhouse door is swinging open But I’m just sitting here playing cards The jailhouse door is swinging open But I’m just staring through goddamn bars What happened to the man I thought I was becoming? Now my heart is trapped My arms are wrapped Holding an empty bag of dreams Thought I’d let the past become the past Thought I’d let the past become the past Thought I’d let the past become the past Same temptation Oooh same temptation Oooh same temptation ——-

Lips as soft as the wind, you’re like the petals of a flower No idea where your body ends and the air begins Trembling, shivering I’m under your spell You who are made of blue Let me live in this blue ‘Cause the peace i find could only be with you The soft touch of your love divine Kisses sweet like strawberry wine Now to find the greatest pain, I can’t hold myself up strong Searching so far in vain, I’ve wanted you for too long Trembling, shivering I’m under your spell You who are made of blue Let me live in this blue ‘Cause the peace i find could only be with you I’m swimming in your love sublime We share a glass of strawberry wine Trembling, shivering I’m under your spell You who are made of blue Let me live in this blue ‘cause the peace i find could only be with you

Preciousness lies in the satisfied mind of a man In those good old days I let too many of these chances slip by You can only make so much love sooner or later you’ll have to let your love make you You know you’re the one I’m thinking of sooner or later we’ve got to find our own way through It’s happening again just like the other times we tried In those good old days I fell in love a little too often for my own good You can only make so much love sooner or later you’ll have to let your love make you You know you’re the one I’m thinking of sooner or later we’ve got to find our own way through what comes of chasing love if not your heart breaking over the cold stone of regret You wish for the one you want and ignore the one you get You can only make so much love sooner or later you’ll have to let your love make you You know you’re the one I’m thinking of sooner or later we’ve got to find our own way You can only make so much love sooner or later you’ll have to let your love make you You know you’re the one I’m thinking of sooner or later we’ve got to find our own way Sooner or later… ——-

Always 03:10
My northern heart is bathed in sun And my hand scribbles the wind But my frozen voice still shivers From beneath the shiny skin I will always love you Your message in that bottle Brought a crazy flashing fever Staining the silence and the sea But in a world of endless opportunities Love is only good when it hurts I will always love you I will always love you I’m home again to my new york With my eyes open wide and the rain on my face I ran from my lost home to this place I miss the sun upon your curls, and the moon in your face I used to turn my head for cute girls But now only for a parking space I will always love you I will always love you I will always Always Always ——-
