You there, comin' up the stair, the feelin' is ice-blue cold.
Shake, it's more than I can take, I'm startin' to lose control.
Watch out, what's that noise, there's somebody at the door.
Some say he was a sailor who died away at sea
Some say he was a prisoner who never was set free
Lost upon the ocean he died there in the mist
Dreaming of her kiss
Some say he was a sailor who died away at sea
Some say he was a prisoner who never was set free
Lost upon the ocean he died there in the mist
Dreaming of her kiss
Know I got a fully-equipped-to-rock&roll machine
At speeds that take me high-hi-hi!
At Dead-Man’s Curve, I hear one word: “Drive! Drive! Drive!”
“Drive! Drive! Drive!”
I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm
it will never happen again
is a promise i just can't keep
all alone on the porch
drifting off to sleep
i change this much this year
but i did it for you my dear
let me stick around
I'll never let you down
And when the evening comes she takes her life
and night away from me once more
I can no longer see her face once more before the rose will die
Please come back without the rose
Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him
No he don't feel any more cos Jimmy's so thick skinned
And a long long time ago when he could break her heart
There was really only one
He misses how she sounds, he frowns
You don't gotta be no monkey's uncle
To see you're still in the same old jungle
Same old city, same old pavement
And the cats are coming back to claim it
