Maybe one day I'll be an honest man
up 'till now I'm doing the best I can
long roads, long days,
of sunrise to sunset, sunrise to sunset

Dream on brothers while you can
dream on sisters I hope you will find the one
all of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time

Spend your days full of emptiness
spend your years full of loneliness
wasting love, in a desperate caress
rolling shadows of night

Dream on brothers while you can
dream on sisters I hope you will find the one
all of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time

Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand
in your eyes I see the hunger,
and the desperate cry that tears the night

Spend your days full of emptiness
spend your years full of loneliness
wasting love, in a desperate caress
rolling shadows of night

Spend your days full of emptiness
spend your years full of loneliness
wasting love, in a desperate caress
rolling shadows of night

Spend your days full of emptiness
spend your years full of loneliness
wasting love, in a desperate caress
rolling shadows of night

'Scuse me,
I apologize,
he likes your attitude,
he tries it on for size,
he spends the afternoon,
between your thighs,
how's that for gratitude,
I apologize

It seemed to last for hours,
it seemed to last for days,
this lady of the flowers,
and her hypnotic gaze

'Scuse me,
I apologize,
she's got vaccum cleaner eyes,
so cute,
she's got magazines,
filled with hair styles,
'scuse me,
I apologize

It seemed to last for hours,
it seemed to last for days,
this lady of the flowers,
and her hypnotic gaze

She wears her tears on her blouse,
confused and racked with self-doubt,
she stole the keys to my house,
and then she locked herself out

'Scuse me,
I apologize,
he likes your attitude,
he tries it on for size,
he spends the afternoon,
between your thighs,
how's that for gratitude,
I apologize

It seemed to last for hours,
it seemed to last for days,
this lady of the flowers,
her electronic haze

She wears her tears on her blouse,
confused and racked with self-doubt,
she stole the keys to my house,
and then she locked herself out

She stole the keys to my house,
and then she locked herself out,
she lays me down,
she lays me

You are so beautiful to me
you are so beautiful to me
can't you see
you're everything I hoped for
you're everything I need
you are so beautiful to me

You are so beautiful to me
you are so beautiful to me
can't you see
you're everything I hoped for
everything I need
you are so beautiful to me

That I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing

That I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy

That I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good whether with or without you
