| "Bring Me Safely Down" | |
| I will be there when all your gypsy days are done I will be standing by the stage at night to help you sing your songs Sing out along Give me the will to carry on Give me the strength to sing my songs And I will never be alone I will never be the one Who always finds you there alone and tired When all along you were the only one I admired Bring me safely down This flyover town is such a crappy place to be I need a rock and roll location for my rock and roll dream What does it mean This path that keeps us in our beds Our greatness waiting till we're dead And I don't want to be alone Bring up that melody so strong That I can scarcely hear the words or music The voice it lent itself you long ago, now use it Bring me safely down You're smoking up your mind And you've abandoned common sense And you're afraid to let it out All that natural born pretense And you do wear those clothes so well That tell the whole world what you think Yeah, you're cranking up that velvet While you're smashing all the pink Into a memory A precious memory Are you the blade that will cleave our common foe Do you feel man enough to try what I feel man enough to know It's painted gold But it won't roll your 20 when Your sagging eyes are growing dim And I don't want to be alone Or see you dragged down by the stone Into a middle age that you see coming It doesn't give a damn for you So keep on running Bring me safely down |
