Wandering Spirit
Album - 9 febbraio 1993 - Debaser id 31014

In the beginning, when life was simple
We were at each other night and day
You were so sensual and so inventive
We said we'd stick together come what may

In the beginning, you were so brutal
You turned the heat on in the afternoon
Get so excited, get so addicted
You had me eating from your golden spoon

Now I don't wanna spoil the party
I know it goes against the grain
As the plane touched down I got movies of you
Running through my fevered brain

I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up

In the beginning, when we were winning
I was your ever-present love-sick fool
You turned the heat off and left me standing
Freezing by your swimming pool

I can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up

Now I don't wanna spoil the party
I know it goes against the grain
As the plane touched down, and the midnight moon
Can't just walk away

Really love my sweet thing, wanna' lick it up
Really love my sweet thing, wanna' lick it up
Really love my sweet thing, can't give it up
Really love my sweet thing, can't give it up

Life is rich, but it's way too short
You make a lot of money, but you just want more
I don't need the pain right here in my heart
But I hate every minute when we're so far apart

It was love in a minute, it was love in a flash
It brings me no pleasure, just a stab in the back
It brings me no comfort, it brings me no peace
A weight on my shoulder, it's a fatal disease

So don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
And don't poison my blood
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more

Gonna finish it quick, gonna finish it clean
Don't wanna be bitter. I don't wanna be mean
I feel like we're driving down a dead-end street
I've come so far I wanna crash the car
I wanna land right on my feet

I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more

But I dream of you constantly, you'll be my angel of light
And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness
You'll be my lover each night

Life is a bitch, it's way too short
Unlike a politician it just can't be bought
Think about the tenderness, and think about the craziness
And if you ever wanna hate me come and
Stick a knife right in my chest

I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more

I said don't tear me up
I said don't tear me up
I said don't poison my blood
I don't ever wanna see your picture again

Yeah you put me in the trash
yeah you gave me up for lost
Now I see that you're doing alright
Take a look at me and count the cost
Baby can't you see I'm short on greens
I am your long lost man, you don't recognize me

I used to load you up with cash
I used to dress you like a dream
All the fancy food, you always wolfed it down
Yeah but you never made a scene
Baby can't you see, I'm no fantasy
I am your long lost man, you don't recognize me

Standing around in the rain, with my hands froze
Looking around for small change in your window
Out in the cold once again, write out a cheque for old flames
Pity for old time sake, I'll make your heart glow

Yeah, I'm your long lost man, don't you recognize me
Gimme some money baby, I'm broke
Why don't you, why don't you dig right down in your purse
And gimme some dough
Yeah don't you remember me baby
Don't you remember all those Jean Paul Gaultier dresses
I bought you and all those tickets to the opera

What about that bright red Ferrari I bought you now
And all those, and all those shoes
Yeah I know it's the recession baby, but give me some money
Yeah come on now be generous
Oh yeah alright

People say that I'm high class
But I'm low down all the while
People think That I'm crazy
When I flash that California smile

But I can still paint the town
All the colour of your evening gown
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey

People say I'm a drinker
But I'm sober half the time
People say I'm a loser
But I get lucky on the side

Yeah but I can still paint the town
All the colour of your evening gown
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey

All my life I waited for
Someone who would show where the bliss is
All my life I waited for
Someone who would take me past the kissing

People say I'm a loner
I like to get lost in the crowds
People call me a dresser
I wear my sports clothes way too loud

Yeah but I can still paint the town
I can shake it and turn it upside down
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey

Think about the sacrifices that I made for you
Think about the hard times that you put me through
Think about the good things that I done for you
Think about the bad things that I tried not to do

Come on baby
Think about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think about the right things
Think about the wrong things
And baby before you leave me you'll realize
That I'm the one who loves you

How much of the happiness can you really claim
How many tears have I shed, am I not to blame
Though I can't remember what went wrong
I tried so hard to please you, least that's what I thought

Come on baby
Think about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think about the right things
Think about the wrong things
And baby before you leave me you'll realize
That I'm the one who loves you

Come on baby
Think about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think about the right things
Think about the wrong things
And baby before you leave me you'll realize
That I'm the one who loves you

Think about the sacrifices that I made for you
Think about the hard times that you put me through
Think about the good things that i done for you
Think about the bad things that I tried not to do

Come on baby
Think about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think about the right things
Think about the wrong things
Come on baby
Think about the good things
And baby before you leave me you'll realize
That I'm the one who loves you
And baby before you leave me you'll realize
That I'm the one who loves you
And baby before you leave me you'll realize
That I'm the one who loves you

Like a picture you came into my life
Like a picture the colours fade away
Love is fragile, you hide it from the light
It lasts forever and always stays the same

Like a movie, you swept into my life
And like a movie, the stars just fade away

Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day

Ah, honey, while there's youth upon your face
Ah, honey, are you tiring of the race
My cards are on the table
You can get up and walk away
Or stay

Like a movie, you swept into my life
And like a movie, the stars just fade away
All the characters are mouthing out their lines
And the love scenes are shot in shades of grey

Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day

Ah, baby, while there's youth upon your face
Ah, baby, don't you lose that natural grace
My cards are on the table
You can get up and walk away
Or stay

Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
