Almost home 04:37
Love is up, love is down Love is turning baby round and round. Your love is easy baby, My love is hard Your love is lightning, my love is dark. Oh... and I'm almost home. I'm almost home. Love is black, love is white, Love is daytime, baby, sometimes it's night. Your love is fast, faster than a Tuscan Fire Your love is lifting me baby higher and higer. Oh... and I'm almost home. I'm almost home. Driving home round half past two Don't know what I'm gonna say to you I'm a little bit drunk, a little bit stoned but I'm almost home. Driving home round half past two Don't know what I'm gonna say to you I'm a little bit drunk, a little bit stoned but I'm almost home. And I'm almost home Almost home ...

Catch the train from Gare du Nord Next thing walk out your front door Crazy people everywhere Jesus Christ is standing there Dodge the tram, cross the bridge, Get some champagne for the fridge. Only use cash when you hit the town Ain't no way they can track you down. Friday night in Amsterdam Friday night in Amsterdam Friday night in Amsterdam Friday night in Amsterdam Coffee shops and red light girls Do that thing with the string of pearls Tie me up, suck me dry, Cut me loose and let me fly. Friday night in Amsterdam...

Take my hand and walk me through the past It's hard to say how long it's gonna last Draw a line in the sand, you know your hand is shaking I lose track when I count all the pills I'm taking Don't look now but I feel the need to cry It's hard to understand the reason why Take another hit to make it go away Tell another lie to make it through the day So easy to get, so hard to let go You're at the point of no return before you know. That losing hand you're holding Well you know you should be folding You take the money with both hands and walk away. Take a look at yourself, you don't like what you're seeing: Bloodshot eyes and a heart that's barely beating. You feel the water running through your hand Ice-cold water feels like burning sand. Feel the water running through your hand Ice-cold water feels like burning sand. (Ice-cold water feels like burning sand)

Hot dog stand on the highway One night stand in your bed If you ain't goin' my way You never heard a word I said. I'm leavin' you at the corner I'm leavin' you behind Forty five years of torture Almost wrecked my mind. Just a little drop of poison Little drop of poison Just a little drop of poison Poison Moonlight shines in the alley way Daylight shines on the road Put aside some of your salary To pay for that heavy load Ain't got time for losers Ain't got time for rules But I still got time to take another shot And blow away all of you fools Just a little drop of poison...

Hauling another load You done so many nights on this lonely road You just talking to another stranger on the radio All their voices just sound the same So many years playing the same old game Just doing what they wanna do—so are you, and that's okay. Long cold nights she spends on her own, Lyin' there waiting for her man to come home. She's praying for him out there somewhere on that long empty road. Looks at his picture on the bedside table, Wipes the tears from her eyes. She hopes her man don't give that dealer a chance to take him by surprise. White line fever, death is a dealer; When he makes his move don't give him a chance to deceive ya. White line fever, death is a dealer; Don't close your eyes, give him a chance to steal ya.

It was a long, slow, rainy old day All your friends had gathered on the hill to pray They sang your songs, they raised a toast to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. I know a lot of people in this town All the local crew they were hanging around Even though they never knew that cat They took the time to tip their hat. Tip your hat to that Tip your hat to that Tip your hat to Jacques Tip your hat to that Stars they come and stars they go How long they last we will never know My little star is fading fast Will soon become a thing of the past. Tip your hat to that Tip your hat to that Tip your hat to Jacques Tip your hat to that

Dripping water, ticking time Slowly start to lose your mind Not quite sure what's going on Can't remember right from wrong. Someone's playing with the deck I'm just another nervous wreck What's that sound? It's time to shut the motor down. A big black cloud is moving slow today Will it ever go away? Oh no Big black cloud. Who the hell is pushing you when you don't know what to do Make a choice, take a side Welcome aboard enjoy the ride. A big black cloud is moving slow today Will it ever go away? Oh no Big black cloud. Start the engine in your feet There's a madman on the street The box outside your door The man inside has nothing more Stop the clock, I wanna leave This world's a joke you can't believe Stop the clock, I wanna fly, A time to live, a time to die. A big black cloud is moving slow today Will it ever go away? Oh no Big black cloud. Oh oh oh... big black cloud... Think I'm gonna sleep now... big black cloud... Yes I think I'm gonna sleep now... big black cloud...
