Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness

Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain

If I said that you're my friend

And our love would never end

How long before I had your trust again

I opened up the doors when it was cold outside

Hopin' that you'd find your own way in

But how can I protect you

Or try not to neglect you

When you won't take the love I have to give

I bought me an illusion

An I put it on the wall

I let it fill my head with dreams

And I had to have them all

But oh the taste is never so sweet

As what you'd believe it is -

well I guess it never is

It's these prejudiced illusions

that pump the blood

To the heart of the biz



You know I never thought

that it could take so long

You know I never knew how to be strong

Yeah, I let you shape me

But it feels as though you raped me

'Cause you climbed inside my world

And in my songs

So now I've closed the door

to keep the cold outside

Seems somehow I've found the will to live

But how can I forget you

or try not to reject you

When we both know it takes time to forgive



Sweetness is a virtue

and you lost your virtue long ago

You know I'd like to hurt you

but my conscience always tells me no

You could sell your body on the street

to anyone whom you might meet

Who'd love to try and get inside

and bust your innocence open wide



'Cause my baby's got a locomotive

My baby's gone off the track

My baby's got a locomotive

Got ta peel the bitch off my back

I know it looks like I'm insane

Take a closer look I'm not to blame

No



Gonna have some fun with my frustrations

Gonna watch the big screen in my hea
