Hard was the journey, dark was the way
Hard was the journey, dark was the way
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
Rest now within the beat
Take of the fruit
But guard the seed
Take of the fruit
But guard the seed
Rest now within the beat
Take of the fruit
But guard the seed
Take of the fruit
But guard the seed
You know that Annie's back in town
It won't take long, just watch and see
How the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new, but the face the same
As it was so long ago
But from her eyes, a different smile
Like that of one who knows
You know that Annie's back in town
It won't take long, just watch and see
How the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new, but the face the same
As it was so long ago
But from her eyes, a different smile
Like that of one who knows
When they told us we should go
And as I turned to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing
When we at last return again
When they told us we should go
And as I turned to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing
When we at last return again
You took me for a child
You took a long hard look at my ass
And then played golf for a while
Your shake is like a fish
You pat me on the head
You took me out to wine, dine, 69 me
But didn't hear a damn word I said
You took me for a child
You took a long hard look at my ass
And then played golf for a while
Your shake is like a fish
You pat me on the head
You took me out to wine, dine, 69 me
But didn't hear a damn word I said
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old-time rock 'n' roll
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old-time rock 'n' roll
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
We weren't searchin’ for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley, or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me, but neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
We weren't searchin’ for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley, or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me, but neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

And disregards the rest
Does it exhibit your natural tendency for hate?
Maybe a prostitute could teach you
How to take a compliment

And that'll be it
Just then the stripper stopped in a coughing fit
She said, "Sorry, I can't go on with this"

Let's raise a glass of milk to the end of another day
And to the kiss that's still intangible, the kids are all right just unmanageable
They won't do a damn thing you say

We can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show
We can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show
And maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently
And listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday
Cast in a golden light
No dress rehearsal
This is our life
And maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently
And listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday
Cast in a golden light
No dress rehearsal
This is our life
Are hard to endorse
When the appearance of conflict
Meets the appearance of force

When the appearance of conflict
Meets the appearance of force
And you laughed in my face 'cause you held all the cards
I don't care anymore
