There's a blue eyed girl with a red bow tie
and a string of pearls with one good eye
in a rainy town the chimney smoke will curl
no one likes clowns on the other side of the world
and the children know she'll never let me go.
there's a one legged priest that tangos with the farmers wife
Beauty and the beast is taking her own life
and a tear on a letter back home turns into a lake of your own
and a crow turns into a girl on the other side of the world
and she tastes like the sea and she's waiting for me
in the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose
and he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.
And I drink champagne from your thin blue veins
She visits his grave wearing her mother's shawl
should I shave or end it all.
There's an old sailor song that the children know
as their fingers curl around the other side of the world
on a bone white mare lost in Kathleen's hair
in the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose
and he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.(Simon/Goldmark)
I've been saying that I'm
Leave well enough alone
Now I'm behaving
Like I'm begging you for a bone
When it feels good you can't help it
You just hang by the phone
And it felt that good last night
I can't give it up
You come on like a prince
You got everyone convinced
That you've a prince of a man
But I'm the one who knows you
I'm the one you show that you
Don't give a damn
Can't give it up, oh no, can't give it up
I've been dreaming you fall in love with me
No cold blooded scheming
If it could be that easy
But you still fight it
And I must like it
That I have to reach for what I want
And as long as it feels that good
I can't give it up
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you
'Cause you can't give, can't give
No, I don't want you cause you
Can't give....
