Wolves at the Door

Coffee and cigarettes, whiskey and beer
I'm still lookin' for a way out of here
Seekin' salvation in some man's eyes
Askin' for mercy, tradin' for lies
It's the luck of the draw, it's the roll of the dice
Lonely heart been broken twice
It's the crack in the mirror, name in the sand
Love of my life, slippin' through my hand
Postcards and letters, ribbons and bows
Name of a woman everyone knows
Whispers in darkness, kisses on phones
Echoing footsteps, sleepin' alone
REFRAIN
Everyday we'd wake up
In the house on Pleasure Street
Everyday was something new
Life there seemed so sweet
In the house on Pleasure Street
REFRAIN

I'm standing on the edge of an event horizon
whose consequences I'm surely recognizin'
My baby took my Caddy and left for LA
said he couldn't stand us livin' this way
Didn't seem that bad I thought we could last
but all those happy times are a thing of the past
It's three in the morning I feel so afraid
Playin' the Cadillac Blues as the taillights fade
I've been tryin' to call out on that cosmic phone
car broke down baby I'm here all alone
Streets are deserted and the winds gettin' colder
there's a world of pain lookin' over my shoulder
If I didn't know better I'd give into despair
'cause there's no help comin' from anywhere
REFRAIN
Now the Cadillac's cruzin' way out of control
the Ice Man's comin' got a lein on my soul
I tried to run but there's no way out
without your love, baby, I'm filled with doubt
There's a big black hole where my heart used to be
love's a strange space time singularity
REFRAIN

You've played your little games
Don't call them some other name
''Cause how I feel just stays the same
You're not the only one who went and had some fun
And lied when all was said and done
And you're two-timin' arrest is gonna to put me to the test
Tears don't cover all the crimes you've confessed
Don't come cryin' to me - Yeah, don't come cryin' to me
Don't come cryin' to me - Yeah, don't come cryin' to me
Take all that misery and let it be
Don't come cryin' to me
Your voice sounds soft and nice
But your eyes are full of ice
Cold as those lies you're tellin' twice
You can tell me that its true but I've seen both sides of you
And there's nothin' more for you to do
You can't cover up your tracks - I've lived through your attacks
And babe, there just ain't no goin' back…so
REFRAIN
When it comes down to the squeeze
And you say you're gonna leave
I ain't gonna fall on my knees
I ain't gonna beg you, I ain't gonna beg you, "please"
REFRAIN

I set the table with places for two
just in case I hear from you
But the evening goes by so silently
just this book, the cat, and me
And I still feel your hands on my skin
want your kisses again and again
Maybe I should leave a letter under your door
message from my heart, I need you more
I will love you, again and again
My déjà vu…my déjà vu
Walk down the street, all alone
cars go by, you don't answer your phone
I'd like to get a cab go by your place
knock on the door just to see your face
Shufflin' through leaves in the night
wishin' your arms were around me tight
Wonderin' how I can make you see
once more you need to fall in love with me
REFRAIN
And the memories come back from before
They only make me want you more
I wish I could make you see
Being apart from you cuts me twice
I want to hold you tight in the dance of life
Just the way it used to be
REFRAIN

Worked hard all day, feel like a drink of whiskey
Don't wanna think about nothin' just keep my mind free
Walk on the porch in my socks in the purple twilight
Screen door slams and its just another night
Nothin' to say, its ok, its just another day
A chance for paradise to come out and play
Take all my troubles and send them away
I do what I do and its just another day
My first man left, said that I was too cold
The second one left, said that I was getting' old
Now I talk to myself, talk to the cat
Wearin' a worn out shirt, and my legs are getting' fat
REFRAIN
Well I like to sleep late, don't like to work that much
Been a carpenter, a salesman, truck driver and such
Well I never got rich, but I had a good time
Nobody knows the difference fifty years down the line
REFRAIN

Your love struck me baby through the heart
Cut me open tore me apart
The way I fell was a cryin' shame
Struck down by a passionate flame
Like lightnin', runnin' through my veins
Like lightnin', drivin' me insane
Like lightnin', I can't break free
Like lightnin', what you do to me
Now we're joined together for all time
Love like ours is a passionate crime
In the ashes of my burnin' heart
I can feel our love start
REFRAIN
Now sparks are shootin' across the sky
Can't break free even if I try
You got me with your positive attraction
Time to discharge some satisfaction
REFRAIN

I live in a sad place, sometimes a mad place,
never been a glad place for you
I put the radio in my bed so I'm not talkin' in my head,
never hear a single word from you
I always use big words, but they fly away like birds,
flocks of conversation just for you
Whatrugonnado about it now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whatrugonnado about it now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We've takin' our last bow. We've broken our last vow.
Can't go home no how
So whatrugonnado about it now
You sound so philosophical, everything so logical,
makes no sense to me
You've turned out all the lights,
now there's only lonely nights, looks all dark to me
You sing and laugh and talk goin' backwards down the walk,
oh so far away from me
REFRAIN
Our picture is so out of focus as our anger starts to choke us,
it was stubborn pride that broke us
I hold your arm but turn away, two stick people out to play
in a picture where they can't stay
REFRAIN, REFRAIN, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You pulled me close under the porch light
Your body felt so good in the breezy night
You pressed your hot lips onto mine
Your arms around me felt so fine
Your sweet drinks in the summer sun
Went to our heads as the day was done
And now its risky business with your whiskey kisses
It's risky business, all those near misses and you
You won me over with your whiskey kisses, your whiskey kisses
Screen door slams we're both inside
Such breathless kisses nothing to hide
Music plays on the stereo
Before there is trouble I know I should go
I wanted you and now here we are
I touch your bare skin we've come so far
REFRAIN
Take a chance on what you get,
life is one big game of roulette
If you don't act now you never will
No time to regret your whiskey thrills
REFRAIN…Whiskey kisses…

The first time we met it didn't sink in
You had that look in your eye,
moved like the wind
But fallin' in love and givin' your heart
Is a double edged blade, it can cut you apart
I fell so hard our love was so good
We're too crazy to last, can't do what we should
And I'm wild, yeah, wild like you
Those restless currents they run so true
I can't change, nothin' I can do
Cuz I was born wild, wild like you
You know its true, we had a good run
A hell of story when its said and done
A moment of time, a handful of fate
We loved so hard right out of the gate
But you and me baby, we got lives of our own
Can't be tied down so we go it alone
REFRAIN
I know our love washed away like the sand
Now that I'm older I understand
Sometimes its hard, I miss those wild nights
We loved so hard we shot out the lights
REFRAIN
Wild, wild like you…

Your pretty face opened all the doors,
helped you up in the culture wars
Struttin' out in runway clothes,
you made your mark at all the shows
Magazine covers and evenin' news,
selling cars and foreign booze
It don't take long till you're everywhere,
soon no one seems to care…and you're
Just another pretty face
Lots of others wanna take your place
Face the facts, cut to the chase
You're just another pretty face
Fame and fortune were the score,
but you're not so special anymore
No one gives you a second look,
time to retire and write a book
Or find some lonely, rich rock star
who doesn't care how old you are
You were never really all that smart,
but your pretty face let you play that part
REFRAIN
The world now can seem so cold,
when your pretty face starts to get old
The jobs don't come in like before,
your beauty no longer opens doors
Producers won't return your calls,
People Magazine says your career has stalled
And no matter how much paint and lace,
your good looks are laid to waste
REFRAIN

Crash through the door head full of morphine,
feet dancin' misery to rhythms unseen
Senses on overload from shootin' cocaine,
the sound of your voice rolls round in my brain
Flash down the street breakin' slivers of light,
gauges on empty,
howlin' all night
The cage of my bones opens at last,
time beams of sadness change future to past
Unforgiven, I pray for reprieve,
unforgiven, I try to believe
Unforgiven, I'm searchin' for peace,
unforgiven, I can't find release
Unforgiven, unforgiven, unforgiven
Lash at attackers no one can see,
whipped to a frenzy down on my knees
Searchin' for safety under white broken light,
mournin' lost love all through the night
Bashin' down walls inside of my head,
screamin' for mercy, wish I were dead
Grasping at shadows on highways of sin,
as visions of your face flash again and again
REFRAIN
Seeing, believing, doubting, deceiving,
crying, aching, running, breaking
Seeing, believing, doubting, deceiving,
crying, aching, running, breaking
REFRAIN

Feel the wind blowin' through the empty panes
Hear the creakin' of the wood that remains
See the light shine through the wall
Only moments before I see it fall…I see it fall
Tall buildings in which we live
Air tight to keep us in
Built strong to withstand
But only just as tight as sand
Everyone rushing through the streets
Shoulder to shoulder, eyes never meet
Each one ready to throw a stone
But none attemptin' to atone…to atone
The crowded cities in which we live
A million walk an' talk in sin
No one takes the other's hand
We're only just as tight as sand
Stars shine through the black of night
Burnin' hard in hopes we'll see the light
On my back I gaze up in awe
But then all crashes as I see one fall…I see it fall
The universe in which we live
Even the sky has had its fill
Tryin' to make us understand
But we're only just as tight as sand…tight as sand
Feel the wind blowin' through the empty panes
Hear the creakin' of the wood that remains

I found a man you've gotta see, not afraid of love, he's open and free
I'm on fire when he's with me, he stole my heart accidentally
Wild hearts do crazy things
Wild hearts they spread their wings
Wild hearts, they fall in love
Again, and again, and again
Wild hearts, wild hearts
He takes me in his hand, I don't know where we stand
His loving is so unplanned, like the northern lights on the radio band
REFRAIN
On the wings of love his spirit flies, I touch him only with my eyes
He moves in such sweet surprise, to a rhythm I don't recognize
REFRAIN
