Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah I´ll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you´re my friend
And our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hopin´ that you´d find your own way in
But how can I protect you
Or try not to neglect you
When you won´t take the love I have to give
I bought me an illusion
An I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams
And I had to have them all
But oh the taste is never so sweet
As what you´d believe it is-
Well I guess it never is
It´s these prejudiced illusions
That pump the blood
To the heart of the biz

You know I never thought
That it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me
But I feel as though you raped me
´Cause you climbed inside my world
And in my songs
So now I´ve closed the door
To keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I´ve found the will to live
But how can I forget you
Or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes time to forgive

Sweetness is a virtue
And you lost your virtue long ago
You know I´d like to hurt you
But my conscience always tells me no
You could sell your body on the street
To anyone whom you might meet
Who´d love to try and get inside
And bust your innocence open wide

´Cause my baby´s got a locomotive
My baby´s gone off the track
My baby´s got a locomotive
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I´m insane
Take a closer look I´m not to blame
No

Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I´d rather take a detour
´Cause this road ain´t gettin´ clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
Better tame that boy ´cause he´s a wild one
Better tame that boy for he´s a man
Sweetheart don´t make me laugh
You´s gettin´ too big for your pants
And I´s think maybe you should
Cut out while you can
You can use you illusion-
Let it take you where it may
We live and learn
And then sometimes it´s best to walk away
Me I´m just here hangin´ on
It´s my only place to stay at least
For now anyway
I´ve worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away

I´m taking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that´s passed away
I know it´s never easy-
So why should you believe me
When I´ve always got so many things to say
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
´Cause playful hearts
Can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you-
I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page

Kindness is a treasure-
And it´s one towards me you´ve seldom shown
So I´ll say it for good measure
To all the ones like you I´ve known
Ya know I´d like to shave your head
And all my friends could
paint it red
´Cause love to me´s a two way street
An all I really want is peace

But my baby´s got a locomotive
My baby´s gone off the track
My baby´s got a locomotive
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I´m insane
Take a closer look I´m not to blame
No

Affection is a blessing
Can you find it in your sordid heart
I tried to keep this thing
ta-gether
But the tremor tore my pad apart
Yeah I know it´s hard to face
When all we´ve worked for´s gone to waste
But you´re such a stupid woman
And I´m such a stupid man
But love like time´s got its own plans

´Cause my baby´s got a locomotive
My baby´s gone off the track
My baby´s got a locomotive
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I´m insane
Take a closer look I´m not to blame
Yeah
If love is blind I guess
I´ll buy myself a cane

Love´s So Strange
