i stood beside the rain today
|
and i twisted out my shirt
|
she's a cooly you could say
|
when she gets down to the dirt
|
she puffs her pillow up so high
|
it's like she's hanging in the sky
|
she claims it was some crazy guy
|
who taught her how to hurt
|
and kept her so alert
|
i felt so under sideways down
|
when she showed me all her prints
|
i could not help but feel confused
|
when she threw that heavy hint
|
she pulled out all her magzaines
|
she spread them out like chocolate dreams
|
her eyes were shooting dagger beams
|
she changed into her silk
|
i stood there drinking milk
|
i could leave or stay
|
makes no difference either way
|
she said don't listen to her words
|
as if they were all dead
|
she said she never made decisions
|
but the last thing that she said
|
just before she turned the bed
|
she said i could leave or stay
|
|
| Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek |
how would i know about your life
|
how about a long night
|
how do you follow the sun
|
how do you stay under the thumb
|
there's a fine line between us
|
such a fine fine line
|
there's a fine line between us
|
and it's always on my mind
|
what can you say to make me realize
|
the full moon in your eyes
|
you probably know now that you're waking up
|
you still feel shaken up
|
there's a fine line between us
|
all the way
|
there's a fine line between us
|
can't waste another day
|
they take you in their arms and whisper
|
what you want to hear don't you fall
|
they show you all their charms and whisper
|
don't you shed a tear don't you fall
|
|
| Lead Vocal: Benjamin Orr |
they can't stop you in the night
|
twirling wildly in the light
|
but i know honey it won't take long
|
feels like it's one on one on one
|
there must have been a dream in you
|
stick and fall and follow through
|
but i know honey it won't take long
|
feels like it's much too strong too strong
|
but then you tell me that you can't go on
|
and you think you're losing sight
|
don't you worry
|
you can't go wrong inside
|
everything you say
|
leaves me full of shine
|
everything you say
|
crosses up my mind
|
that's everything you say
|
you could twist a little while
|
lie there fallin for a smile
|
but i know honey you won't give in
|
feels like when you begin you're in
|
then you tell me that you can't resist
|
something happens that you like
|
you want to know
|
that you've been kissed goodnight
|
when you know it's not for real
|
i know honey for one long time
|
it feels like you're endlessly entwined
|
but i know it's what you did
|
you can't be in a broken binge
|
take my heart is only tin
|
|
| Lead Vocal: Benjamin Orr |
how could they leave you standing
|
holding on to the air
|
never a hope of landing
|
didn't they know you cared
|
you're finding out
|
it's never quite like it seems
|
you're finding out
|
it's never quite like it dreams
|
didn't you get connected
|
when things were still upside down
|
feeling somewhat neglected
|
turning the tide around
|
it keeps coming up you again
|
you're never to hard to find
|
it keeps coming up you again
|
they're taking up all your time
|
it keeps coming up you
|
coming up you again
|
however you want to take it
|
with streamers of violet
|
if only you could forsake it
|
it stifles your etiquette
|
|
| Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek |
took me long enough to find you
|
took me long enough to get you there
|
sometimes i feel like the sunshine lost
|
and i look for the crumbs you toss
|
took me long enough to get past your eyes
|
took me long enough to tranquilize
|
when you'd be laughing inside the storm
|
i can still feel your mouth so warm
|
you'll be back when you need someone
|
you'll pretend it was just for fun
|
i'm so wound up on you
|
i'm so wound up on you
|
i'm so wound up on you
|
and i'm easy when you need me
|
took me long enough to get over
|
took me long enough to figure out
|
you never meant to stay around
|
you never meant to be losing ground
|
here she comes with that tip toe walk
|
and she's ready just to have a talk
