59th Street When the rain came down on 59th street We were standing outside of the hotel When the rain came down on 59th street I didn't mind at all We were good friends When I told you I was feeling more And you told me You didn't feel the way I do When the rain came down on 59th street I didn't mind at all I didn't mind, I didn't mind at all When you told me you didn't want me to fall for you Nothing I could do I said, "Last night was a ball" And I didn't mind at all Got into a cab, a traffic jam Headed down the FDR I opened up the window And let the rain inside the car The driver he was nervous He said he couldn't even see where we are I said that I didn't mind at all California I'm moving out to California To find my place in the sun Beneath the lemon trees I'm living on oranges and gasoline Hummingbirds humming, helicopters hovering California will you take me in To your soft brown hills & tiger lily thrills California Palm trees look like spiders in a starry sky They look as strange as I feel inside And my suitcase is heavy 'cause I packed it full of childish lies Nowhere left to run California here I come California will you take me in To your soft brown hills & tiger lily thrills California I was born in a small town Sunday schools, grandfather pines Saturdays my mother she didn't bother me Making my mud pies under solitary skies Coney Island, USA Underneath the rhythm of the street Underneath the taxis and the shuffling feet I fell asleep In the middle of the night I went far away from my destination I missed my stop I slept through Carroll Station I went far far far away to Coney Island, U.S.A. I guess I had a little too much to drink Champagne at St. Vincent's My friend turned 84 and she said, "It's too late now for me But it ain't too late for you" I went far away from my destination I missed my stop I slept through Carroll Station I went far far far away to Coney Island, U.S.A. The boardwalk was quiet All the Russians were sleeping I thought I saw a whale up through the clouds Its bloodshot eye upon me Blinking through the fog Well, maybe it was just a star Far away Stranded A buddha pulled up in a limousine Tipped his fedora to the porno queen She said, "Come on in, we're shooting the scene" This town is on the rocks Looks like a painting by Hieronymous Bosch All the souls are tied up in knots Sometimes I think I’m gonna drown Here, here we are the two of us Stranded stranded Here, here we are In the thick of it all it's good to be in your arms I used to know a kid who wore his heart on his sleeve A tattoo of the word "Sincerity" In these days it don't mean a thing to want to mean anything I think we better go and get our kicks I hear they're tearing up old route 66 Maybe I'll move back to the sticks And listen to the trains roll by Here, here we are the two of us Stranded, stranded I want to be in your arms That's the only place I feel at home In this world that's grown so hard I can feel it soften in your arms I don't want to go through this life without you The Devil and I Been walking off a beaten path Feeling like I got a gun at my back And the devil's looking at me Waking me up in my sleep When he took my hand I didn't understand The devil was an ordinary man He had a ordinary plan He wanted to steal my magic power And I couldn't get the devil behind me Now I'm lying on my back Looking at the mirror in the ceiling to remind me I'm weak But my spirit ain’t been broken I'm looking for my subway token I can hear the train coming But I ain't out of the woods yet The devil and I we were driftin' along On a burnin' lake of love songs Smoke on the water Was the California smog Evil, he was mean He waltzed me through a liquor dream I was coming apart at the seams It was the best time I ever seen And I couldn't get the devil behind me I'm lying on my back Looking at the mirror in the ceiling to remind me I'm weak But my spirit ain't been broken I'm looking for my subway token I can hear the train comin' But I ain't out of the woods yet I’m a long way from home The devil made a social call I'm a long way off the road Feeling supernatural Dollar Lake Drop me off at Dollar Lake I do not have a penny My baby left he took all my money Drop me off at Dollar Lake Mister if you're going by there He broke my heart Made a mess of my affairs A little long in the teeth He was short on cash I'd do anything now to get my baby back He's gone off to have his way Left me holding the bill to pay I gotta reach the shore of a better place Some place maybe I can still save face Dollar Lake Drop me off at Dollar Lake 'Cause I bought him a car and he drove To see the long distance lover He was calling on the telephone Why did he make me so happy He showed me such a beautiful time I looked the other way As he robbed me blind On Second Thought I just gotta have your love I just gotta have it honey love Just gotta know your every way Hear your voice speak my name Say you love me On second thought I'm better off without you In my memory You're sweeter and kind Dreaming is better than the real thing sometime Just gotta see your face Just gotta touch and taste every place Nobody loved me like you did Made me wanna have a kid Say you love me On second thought I'm better off without you In my memory You're sweeter and kind Dreaming is better than the real thing sometime I'm lost and thinking Trying to keep my head on straight I'm all messed up inside Just when I think I'm over you Something comes over me And I'm convinced that love is real Love is Real On second thought... Hold On Hold on hold on hold on, mama's coming And she didn't forget you When she was down in the pen And she kept a picture of your little face pasted over the bed 'Cause she loves you And she needs you And she misses you more than you know In the state of California Mama was weak and mama used But she loves you And she needs you And she misses you more than you know In the state of California Six months and she's out on parole hold on On your birthday singing to you A bad connection on a pay telephone She's gonna need Something for the inside Tomorrow she'll get clean But tonight she gotta get high 'Cause she loves you And she needs you And she misses you more than you know And in the state of California Six months and she's out on parole hold On How long is it gonna take Minutes stack up like dirty plates How long 'til you get yourself together Would you make your daughter wait at home Holdin' on, holdin' on forever 'Cause she loves you And she needs you And she misses you more than you know... Beautiful/Ugly She's beautiful when she's crying And swearing like a sailor She's lovely in your eyes Ugly to a stranger She doesn't wear the latest fashions Hats do not become her When she takes her clothes off She's hiding underneath the covers She's beautiful when she's crying And swearing like a sailor She's lovely in your eyes Ugly to a stranger But when you see her She really sees you too And when you need her She really knows how to drop the ball But she's beautiful when she's crying... Love Is Who are these faces With eyes that don't see me Who are these faces With mouths that never spoke my name I'm looking for direction But no finger points the way As I walk through my life alone I wonder why the people say They say love is where you find It's every place that you go Love is where you find it All along the road So I went out walking But I haven't found my lover yet I've been walking in the rain this evening All I got was wet Love is where you find it It's every place that you been Love is where you find it You do every single thing that you can Keep your head up, honey Your mother was a caring stranger's hand You can take your soul And your worn out shoes And walk into the promised land Singing Love is where you find it Under the still night tree Love is where you find it In a wilderness of silver leaves Heaven take me skyward I gotta go dig my roots in the air Speed this song to heaven Don't let it fall on no deaf ear Lakeville There is a place At the end of the road Honeysuckle grows And lilac breezes blow And when you go The moonlight overflows It shines on the lakes The shimmering lakes of old Lakeville, my pretty little town Where nothing really every happens I wish I could go home now There is a grove Of trees green and gold Sunlight glows On a path to the water’s edge And when I roam It's good to be alone And float all around In a light blue canoe Lakeville, my pretty little town Where nothing really ever happens I wish I could go home now Lakeville, I'm lost and I'm found Where nothing really ever happens Nothing ever happens Nothing really ever happens
