Let's buy a plantation house
And let the yard grow wild
'Til we don't need the signs that say keep out
I've got some money left and it's cheaper in the south
I need someone I can trust
To protect me from our seven daughters
When my body says enough
Don't let me die in a hospital
I'll save the big one for the last time we make love
 
Because she’s been on a Muse bender….

My plug in baby
Crucifies my enemies
When I'm tired of giving, whoa
My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
Is tired of living, ooh
 
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it's back this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep
 
It was one of those nights
When you turn off the lights
And everything comes into view
She was taking her time
I was losing my mind
There was nothing that she wouldn't do
 
Bugs in the streetlight
Our time is over soon
Don't say that you love me then make other plans
 
Street signs glowing
But it doesn't leave a mark on you
I was looking for a sign just to change my mind
But I never thought that I'd see you
 
We're remotely secluded in this far away place
Heading to a land where everything is okay
Don't think suddenly that you and me
Got a handle on the doors that we open and close
 
A Dustland fairytale beginning
With just another white trash county kiss
In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes
He looked just like you'd want him to
Some kind of slick chrome American prince
A blue jean serenade
Moon River what'd you do to me
I don't believe you

(I melted hearing her sing these words last night...)
 
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes
 
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)
Sunshiney Day
 
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another, and gone away
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stay locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
 
And, by the way, if one day you happen to wake up
And find yourself in an existential quandary
Full of loathing and self-doubt
And wracked with the pain and isolation of your pitiful meaningless existence
At least you can take a small bit of comfort in knowing that
Somewhere out there in this crazy ol' mixed-up universe of ours
There's still a little place called
Albuquerque
Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
I said "A" (A)
"L" (L)
"B" (B)
"U" (U)
"Querque" (querque)
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerqueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 
Fat man sittin' on a little stool
Takes the money from my hand
While his eyes take a walk all over you
Hands me the ticket smiles and whispers, "Good luck!"
We'll cuddle up, angel, cuddle up, mylittle dove
And we'll ride down, baby, into this tunnel of love
 
It's just a danger
When you're riding at your own risk
She said, "You are the perfect stranger"
She said, "Baby, let's keep it like this"

[Also Tunnel of Love]
 
Oh on the road we’ll run like a river
With the headlights on like a river we’ll run
Like a river I’ll run back to you
I’ll run like a river
 
Back
