St. Dave

Heartbreak, old friend, goodbye it's me again

Of late, I've had, some thought of movin in

Of all the many ways a man can lose his home

Well there aint none better than the girl who's movin on

True love, I knew, thought some of leavin you

Bad thoughts, I had, when valentines were due

Of all the many ways a man can break his heart

Well there aint none meaner then he pulls his own apart

Valentine, the destroyer

Valentine you belong

In the stars where you are always rollin on

Cried, I cried till I couldn't carry on

It's a lonely lonely feeling when your valentine is wrong

It's a lonely lonely feeling when your valentine is wrong

Of all the many things that you were counting on

No there aint none better than the girl who's movin on.

No there aint none better than the girl who's movin on.

Some things you never get used to

Even though you're feeling like another man

There's nothing that he can do for you

To shut me away as you walk through

Lovers laughing in their amateur hour

Holding hands in the corridors of power

Even though I'm with somebody else right now

High fidelity

Can you hear me?

There's a new kind of dedication

Maybe you'll find it down the tunnel

Maybe I got above my station

Maybe you're only changing channels

Even though you're nowhere near me

And I know you kiss him so sincerely now

Even though the signal's indistinct

And you worry what silly people think

Who just can't wait to feel so frozen out

I bet he thinks that he was chosen out of millions

I suppose he'll never know about

High fidelity

Can you hear me?

Well we all have a face

That we hide away forever

And we take them out and

Show ourselves

When everyone has gone

Some are satin some are steel

Some are silk and some are leather

They're the faces of the stranger

But we love to try them on

Well we all fall in love

But we disregard the danger

Though we share so many secrets

There are some we never tell

Why were you so surprised

That you never saw the stranger

Did you ever let your lover see

The stranger in yourself?

Don't be afraid to try again

Everyone goes south

Every now and then

You've done it, why can't

Someone else?

You should know by now

You've been there yourself

Once I used to believe

I was such a great romancer

Then I came home to a woman

That I could not recognize

When I pressed her for a reason

She refused to even answer

It was then I felt the stranger

Kick me right between the eyes

When you grab a hold of me

You tell me that I'll never be set free

But I'm a parasite

Creep and crawl I step into the night.

Two pints of booze

Tell me are you a badfish too? Are you a badfish too?

Ain't got no money to spend

I know the night will never end

Lord knows I'm weak

Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

Baby your a big blue whale

Grab the reef when all duck diving fails

I swim but wish I never learned

The water's too polluted for these germs

I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead

Grab the reef underneath my bed

Ain't got no quarrels with God

Ain't got no time to grow old

Lord knows I'm weak

Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

Ain't got no quarrels with God

Ain't got no time to grow old

Lord knows I'm weak

Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

She took my hand

And tried to make me understand

That she would always be there,

But I looked away

And she ran away from me today

I'm such a lonely man.

It came as no surprise to me

That she'd leave me in misery.

It seemed like only yesterday

She made a vow that she'd never walk away.

She took my hand

And tried to make me understand

That she would always be there,

But I looked away

And she ran away from me today

I'm such a lonely man.

And if it seemed a sin

To love another man's woman, baby,

I guess I'll keep on sinning

Loving her, Lord, till my very last day.

I looked away

And she ran away from me today;

I'm such a lonely man

Well I used to be the kind of guy that didn't love a lot

I took all the love they offered me with ease

And it didn't make much difference if they loved me or not

'Cause I'd love them for a while then I'd leave

Yeah and I can't believe it's thrilling me, hurting like I do

Just because you've left me all alone

I've seen it happpen many times

To other guys I knew

Surely I must be somebody else you've known

Well when I first met you, darling

You impressed me more than some

I should have taken the warning way back then

But I never stopped to think that,

That even my day had to come

And like the other guys

That I'd want you back again

Yeah and I can't believe it's thrilling me, hurting like I do

Just because you've left me all alone

I've seen it happpen many times

To other guys I knew

Surely I must be somebody else you've known

And don't get lost in Miller's Cave.

There's big black clouds blowin in from the west

I've been drivin all day Lord I sure could use some rest

There's a motel up ahead where I can unwind

Cos I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs

I grew up on the road from town to town

My daddy's line of work kept us movin around

I got fond memories of the way things were back then

The warmth of the neon when a bad storms movin in

Listen to the Opry in a small cafe

When we stop to get a bite along the way

Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine

It takes me back to another time

I got a real nice room with a radio and TV

This here motel livin is the only life for me

And it looks like it'll be rainin for quite some time

And mixed with the lightning a glow from a neon sign

There's a big black cloud blowin in from the west

I've been drivin all day lord I sure could use some rest

There's a motel up ahead where I can unwind

Cos I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs

Wasted days and wasted nights,

I have left for you behind

For you don't belong to me,

Your heart belongs to someone else.

Why should I keep loving you?

When I know that you're not true?

And why should I call your name,

when you're to blame

for making me blue?

Don't you remember the day,

that you went away and left me?

I was so lonely,

prayed for you only,

my love

Why should I keep loving you?

When I know that you're not true?

And why should I call your name,

when you're to blame

for making me blue?

Don't you remember the day,

that you went away and left me?

I was so lonely,

prayed for you only,

my love

Why should I keep loving you?

When I know that you're not true?

And why should I call your name,

when you're to blame

for making me blue?

Now check out that hair

It's a beautiful night for feeling lonely

A beautiful night for being afraid

So raise your hands, you one and only's

You one-of-a-kinds who feel this way

I don't want to talk, don't want to explain it

I don't want to f**k and I don't want to fight

It's only a feeling, it's fleet and fading

It's all over the world, and it's only tonight

Cause it's a beautiful night, beautiful night, yeah

Beautiful night, beautiful night to be here

It's a perfect time for being wasted

A perfect time to watch the stars

So throw back your head

Come on, embrace it

It's a beautiful night, wherever you are

It's a beautiful night

Beautiful night, yeah

Beautiful night

Beautiful night to be here

All good things will come to you

Maybe tonight, maybe tonight it's the truth

I don't know

All good things to those who dream

Maybe tonight, maybe tonight we'll find peace

God I hope so

So raise your hands, raise your hands...

You thought she cared for you and so you acted smart

Go on and break your crazy heart

You lived on promises I knew would fall apart

Go on and break your crazy heart

You never would admit you were mistaken

You didn't even know the chances you were taken

I knew you couldn't win. I told you from the start

Go on and break your crazy heart

I knew you'd wake up and find her missin'

I tried my best to warn you but you wouldn't listen

You told me I was wrong. You thought that you were smart

Go on and break your crazy heart
