Stay Loose歌词

[00:25.51]I was choking on a cornflake
[00:27.99]You said "Have some toast instead"
[00:32.75]I was sleeping maybe three hours
[00:35.99]You said "You should get to bed"
[00:40.13]I was waiting at the church door
[00:42.97]For the minister to show
[00:47.48]I was looking at the new year
[00:50.23]You said "Walk before you crawl"
[00:58.73]I was feeling like a loser
[01:01.13]You said "Hey, you've still got me"
[01:05.81]I was feeling pretty lonely
[01:08.49]You said "You wanted to be free"
[01:13.28]I was looking for a good time
[01:15.89]You said "Let the good times start"
[01:20.57]With a quiver of your eyelid
[01:23.40]You took on someone else's part
[01:27.13]But what about me
[01:30.30]I don't really see
[01:34.13]How things will improve
[01:36.85]If all you want is to stay
[01:39.52]Maybe I'm a little greedy
[01:41.83]You said "Think before you speak"
[01:46.54]Sometimes I'm a little seedy
[01:49.18]You said "Everyone is weak"
[01:53.88]Now I feel a little better
[01:56.54]Is there something I can do?
[02:01.31]But I never heard the answer
[02:04.24]I never had a clue
[02:07.46]But what about me
[02:11.01]I don't really see
[02:14.58]How things will improve
[02:17.25]If all you want is to stay
[02:19.63]The lights are on in the house tonight
[02:21.18]Going to creep around going to creep into your head
[02:24.72]All you want is to stay loose
[03:08.38]There's a little echo calling
[03:10.84]Like a miner trapped inside
[03:14.83]If I tell her of this moment
[03:17.39]She will in me doubts confide
[03:21.24]And she's on me like a blanket
[03:23.55]Like a stalk of wilting grass
[03:27.59]I'm not sure about her motives
[03:30.37]I'm not sure about her past
[03:36.84]But my faith is like a bullet
[03:39.44]My belief is like a bolt
[03:43.26]The only thing that lets me sleep at night
[03:45.96]A little carriage of the soul
[03:49.58]If it starts a little bleaker
[03:52.55]Then the year may yet be gold
[03:55.95]Happiness is not for keeping
[03:59.09]Happiness is not my goal
[04:02.07]So what about me
[04:05.53]I don't really see
[04:09.34]How things will improve
[04:11.66]All you want is to stay loose
[04:16.61]Oh what about them
[04:20.01]You play mother hen
[04:23.14]To a gaggle of gangling youth
[04:26.36]All you want is to stay
[04:28.74]The lights are on in the house tonight
[04:30.33]Going to creep around going to creep into your head
[04:33.67]All you want is to stay
[04:36.79]I was living through the seconds
[04:39.33]My composure was a mess
[04:43.35]I was miles from tenderness
[04:46.51]It was dark outside, the day it was lying in pieces
[04:54.94]Everything is flat and dreary
[04:57.90]I couldn't care what's in the news
[05:01.51]Television is the blues
[05:05.27]Television is hysterical laughter of people
[05:12.75]And I know it could be me
[05:15.63]I'm always asking for more
[05:20.03]I keep running round in circles
[05:23.97]I keep looking for a doorway
[05:27.30]I'm going to need two lives
[05:29.23]To follow the paths I've been taking
