Remember when you said we'd marry The wilder shores of love The tide, it changes fast Ah when you're fast it never lasts I cannot read between your lines You cannot make me read your tiny mind Oh who's got the time Oh you'd go blind Jesus and Mary Are takin' me down to the other side of town Where they don't count the days With steel blades on the walls of time They just dance naked in the sun all the time She's the j**el in your crown But I'm the goal that's gonna weigh you down I'll keep you around this dirty old town Every time I put the stove on Dinner's cold by the time you come over
Oh you turn over on that cold shoulder Jesus and Mary Are takin' me down to the other side of town Where they don't count the days With steel blades on the walls of time They just dance naked in the sun all the time And you call and you call my name Baby, hazy, lazy Oh I am not an animal When I lie back, I lie on my back Baby, hazy, lazy Oh I'll sign on the dotted line Don't bring me down Don't bring me down Don't bring me down, no Don't bring me down Don't bring me down Don't bring me down Don't bring me down
