1.Left Of Center
If you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Off of the strip
In the outskirts
In the fringes
In the corner
Out of the grip
When they ask me
' What are you looking at？'
I always answer
' Nothing much' (not much)
I think they know that
I'm looking at them
I think they think
I must be out of touch
But I'm only
In the outskirts
And in the fringes
On the edge
And off the avenue
And if you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Wondering about you
I think that somehow
Somewhere inside of us
We must be similar
If not the same
So I continue
To be wanting you
Left of center
Against the grain
If you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Off of the strip
In the outskirts
In the fringes
In the corner
Out of the grip
When they ask me
' What are you looking at？'
I always answer
' Nothing much' (not much)
I think they know that
I'm looking at them
I think they think
I must be out of touch
But I'm only
In the outskirts
And in the fringes
On the edge
And off the avenue
And if you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Wondering about you
Wondering about you
2.Neighborhood Girls
' We had our
Neighborhood girl, she
Used to hang out, in front of
McKinsey's Bar, and we were
Interested in her, and her
Clientele...
We just wonder where she's gone...'
' Oh she's gone？'
' Yes, she's gone, gone, gone.'
' I think you know your
Neighborhood girl, she
Lives on my street, now, with
Eyes of ice
I've seen her in the morning, when she is
Walking in the sun
And I always thought that she
Looked kind of nice
She spoke to me once
At a party, I think
And I thought at the time
That she had had too much to drink, because she
Said to me, 'There's a backbone gone
And I've got to get it back
Before going on...'
And your neighborhood girl
Seems to have resigned
She was looking out at people
From the back of her mind
And before she went off
She spoke to me again
She came up and said
'You have the eyes of a friend
And there's a razor's edge
That I have lost somewhere
And I would like it back
So if you've seen it anywhere...
I've been out for a while
But I'll be back in a bit
I am just walking through the smoke
Finding out if this is it
Because I've got this feeling
That things are going grey
And I'd like to hear a straight line
To help me find my way...'
I looked at her
And I did not know waht to say.
She had long black hair.'
' Must be a different
Neighborhood girl, cause
Ours had blonde hair, in front of
McKinsey's Bar
And we were interested in her
And her
Clientele...
We just wonder where she's gone...'
' Oh she's gone？'
' Yes, she's gone, gone, gone.'
3.Straight Lines
There's a sound
Across the alley
Of cold metal
Touching skin
And you can see
If you look in her window
That she has gone and cut
Her hair again
In straight lines
Straight lines
Those soft golden lights in the morning
Are now on her wooden floor
The wind has swept them through the apartment
She don't need them
Any more
Any more
Any more...
She's cut down
On her lovers
Though she still dreams
Of them at night
She's growing straight lines
Where once were flowers
She is streamlined
She is taking the shade down
From the light
To see the straight lines
Straight lines
She wants to cut through the circles
That she has lived in before
She wants to finally kill the delusions
She won't need them
Any more
Any more
Any more...
But there's a sound
Across the alley
Of cold metal
Too close to the bone
And you can see
If you look in her window
The face of a woman
Finally alone
Behind straight lines
Straight lines
4.Black Widow Station
I am at your halfway station darling and I've been waiting
for your train.
I am at your halfway station darling and I've been waiting
for your train.
But you've been too long darling and it looks like rain.
I have seen these strange little girls who come up to you
and they don't know when to stop.
I have watched your eye as it follows the line of the leg
right up to the top.
Now Betty Sue and Mary Jane have come around to play again,
but I am standing at your door and I do believe I'll tell
them to go home.
There's this black widow spider darling and she's been
walking on my hand.
There's this black widow spider darling and she's been walking
on my hand.
And we've had this little heart to heart and I think I
understand.
It's a funny situation, I mean what am I to do？
With Lisa in the upstairs room and Joan and Martha too.
I can't come down to breakfast 'cause the plates have all
been used.
And it's as crowded as a subway car and I think that you're
confused.
Now I would wait at your station but I do believe it's time
that I went home.
I am at Black Widow station darling and I've been waiting for
your train.
I am at Black Widow station darling and I've been waiting for
your train.
You've been to long darling and it looks like rain.
You've been to long darling and it looks like rain.
5.Knight Moves
Watch while the queen
In one false move
Turns herself into a pawn
Sleepy and shaken
And watching while the blury night
Turns into a very clear dawn
Do you love any, do you love none,
Do you love many, can you love one,
Do you love me？
Do you love any, do you love none,
Do you love many, can you love one,
Do you love me？
One false move
And a secret prophecy
Well, if you hold it against her,
First hold it up and see
That it's one side stone
One side fire
Standing alone among all men's desire
They want to know
Do you love any, do you love none,
Do you love many, can you love one,
Do you love me？
Do you love any, do you love none,
Do you love many, can you love one,
Do you love me？
And if you wonder
What I am doing
As I am heading
For the sink
I am spitting out all the bitterness
Along with half of my last drink
I am thinking
Of your woman
Who is crying in the hall
It's like drinking gasoline
To quench a thirst
Until there's nothing there left at all
Do you love any, do you love none,
Do you love many, can you love one,
Do you love me？
Do you love any, do you love none,
Do you love many, can you love one,
Do you love me？
' Walk on the blind side'？
Was the answer to the joke
It's said there isn't a political bone
In her body
She would rather be a riddle
But she keeps challenging the future
With a profound lack of history
Do you love any, do you love none,
Do you love many, can you love one,
Do you love me？
Do you love any, do you love none,
Do you love many, can you love one,
Do you love me？
And watch while the queen
In one false move
Turns herself into a pawn
Sleepy and shaken
And watching while the blury night
Turns into a very clear dawn
Do you love me？
Do you love me？
Do you love me？
Do you love me？
Do you love me？
6.Cracking
It's a one time thing
It just happens
A lot
Walk with me
And we will see
What we have got
Ah...
My footsteps are ticking
Like water dripping from a tree
Walking a harline
And stepping very carefully
Ah...
My heart is broken
It is worn out at the knees
Hearing muffled
Seeing blind
Soon it will hit the Deep Freeze
And something is cracking
I don't know where
Ice on the sidewalk
Brittle braches
In the air
The sun
Is blinding
Dizzy golden, dancing green
Through the park in the afternoon
Wondering where the hell
I have been
Ah...
