01. cinnamon girl

i wanna live with a cinnamon girl
i could be happy the rest of my life
with a cinnamon girl.
a dreamer of pictures
i run in the night
you see us together
chasing the moonlight
my cinnamon girl.
ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
the drummer relaxes and waits between shows
for his cinnamon girl
a dreamer of pictures
i run in the night
you see us together
chasing the moonlight
my cinnamon girl
pa sent me money now
i'm gonna make it somehow
i need another chance
you see your baby loves to dance
yeah...yeah...yeah.

i am the key to the lock in your house
that keeps your toys in the basement
and if you get too far inside
you'll only see my reflection
it's always best when you cry in his arms
i am the pick in the ice
do not cry out or hit the alarm
you know we're friends till we die
and either way you turn
i'll be there
open up your skull
i'll be there
climbing up the walls
it's always best when the light is off, it's always better on the outside
fifteen blows to the back of your head
fifteen blows to your mind
so lock the kids up safe tonight
shut the eyes in the cupboard
i got the smell of a local man
who's got the lonliest feeling
that either way he turns
i'll be there
open up your skull
i'll be there
climbing up the walls
climbing up the walls
climbing up the walls

easy living, easy hold
easy teething, easy fold
easy listening, easy love
easy answers, to easy questions
easy tumble, easy doll
easy rumble, easy fall
i get up on easy love
i get up on easy questions
 

when you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye
you're just like an angel
your skin makes me cry
you float like a feather
in a beautiful world
i wish i was special
you're so fucking special
but i'm a creep
i'm a weirdo
what the hell am i doing here
i don't belong here
i don't care if it hurts
i want to have control 
i want a perfect body
i want a perfect soul 
i want you to notice when i'm not around
you're so fucking special
i wish i was special
but i'm a creep
i'm a weirdo
what the hell i'm doing here
i don't belong here
she's running out again
she's running out
she runs runs runs
whatever makes you happy
whatever you want
you're so fucking special
i wish i was special
but i'm a creep, i'm a weirdo
what the hell am i doing here?
i don't belong here
i don't belong here

I would lead the wallpaper life
Or run away to the foreign legion
I would lead the wallpaper life
Or run away to the foreign legion
As the tanks roll into town
As the tanks roll into town
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
As the tanks roll into town
As the tanks roll into town
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
I dont know why I feel so tongue-tied
I dont know why I feel so skinned alive
Run until your lungs are sore
Until you cannot feel it anymore
Run until your lungs are sore
Until you find an open door
I build you up to pull you down
Tie you to your feet, and watch you drown
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
I build you up to pull you down
Tie you to the stake, and watch you burn in hell, in hell
I dont know why I feel so tongue-tied
I dont know why I feel so skinned alive
