Crush lyrics

Looking like a train wreck
Sipping on her long neck
This ain't no model-actress
She's attitude and accent (alright)
Angel flying solo
Must have gone and sold your halo
She's accidental innocence
And white trash elegance (alright)
She's all mixed up
Lays in bed until 3
All messed up
She's eccentricity

Neurotica
Lay your love all over me
Come on, baby, go a little crazy on me

If there's something that needs fixing
I'm the man to see
Look me up, I'm listed
Just check under B
If you're ever on the spot
Well, I'm good with my hands
24-7 I'm your handyman
Odd jobs, hard jobs, anything under the sun
Big jobs, small jobs, baby

I'd be a rich man, it's true
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
These two hands know what to do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you

It's a hot night, the natives are restless
We're sweating by the light of the moon
There's a voodoo mojo brewing at the go-go
That would knock a witch off her broom
We slither on in and shed our skin
Make our way into the bump and the grind
I'm passing by, she gives me the eye
So I stop to give her a light
Na-na-na-na-na-na ... alright!

Chorus:
One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)

It feels like I'm walkin' on air
Walk down our street
When the neighbors stop to watch us going by
You can hear 'em talking (let them talk)
Sometimes I think that you're the only reason
The sun still shines (when it shines)
And when this wicked world starts bringing me down
I tell myself that I'm one lucky guy

Chorus:
I got the girl (holding all the cards)
I got the girl (she's a work of art)

She won't let me buy her jewelry
She don't want things that she can keep
She wears wild flowers in her hair
Then throws them to the sea
She's the beginning and the end of me but

Chorus:
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery

I still don't know what to call her
She says that words don't mean a thing
She changes her name every day

Dressed up for a big date
Like Halloween day but it was Fourth of July now
A car crash with a suitcase and a painted face
She was one of a kind
She wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
And roller skates in bed
He rides the Greyhound from his hometown
When he comes around 'cause they don't let him drive now
Mixed up as a milkshake
But make no mistake
They're shooting for the stars

Chorus

I never went to college
I don't have a degree
Let's say I went to night school
I learned all I know on the streets
I wasn't born a rich man
I ain't got no pedigree
The sweat on this old collar
That's my Ph.D.
It comes down to this
I wouldn't exist
Without you it ain't worth the grind
I'd fight for one kiss
On a night like this
You make me feel I could fly, like

Chorus:
I can save the world

There are days when she's a whisper
Nights when she's a scream
A reason to wake up in the morning
To close your eyes and dream
She'll curse you like a sailor
And wound you with her eyes
She always makes it better
But won't apologize
You know everything about her but don't know her at all

Chorus:
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before

Hey, man, it's been a while
Do you remember me
When I hit the streets I was 17
A little wild, a little green
I've been up and down and in between
After all these years and miles and memories
I'm still chasing dreams
But I ain't looking over my shoulder

Chorus:
I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old - just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans

Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you
Change ain't nothing but change
Just the faces and the names
But you know we're gonna make it through
I'll believe
When you don't believe in anything

Chorus:
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight

I couldn't sleep
Took a walk down 2nd Avenue
Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true
One way street and I know where its leading to
There's a For Sale sign on the front door of the city hall
The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall
I could take a hit but I ain't gonna take the fall
That's just one side of the story
In the two story town

Chorus:
It's just the same old sights

It's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words tonight

Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for faith departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Chorus:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way

I just can't believe
It was all a lie
No man in the moon
Just a big light in the sky
I hear Disneyland
Might lose Mickey Mouse
In some giant hostile corporate shake-up
Tell me it's a nightmare
Please wake me up
(Say it isn't so)
I found a book of matches
From someplace we've never been
How come you hang the phone up
The minute I walk in
Last night I had this dream
That I was losing you
