Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah I`ll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you`re my friend and our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hopin` that you`d find your own way in
But how can I protect you or try not to neglect you
When you won`t take the love I have to give
I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all
But oh the taste is never so sweet as what you`d believe it is
Well I guess it never is
I`s these prejudiced illusions that pump the blood to the heart of the biz
You know I never thought that it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me but I feel as though you raped me
`Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs
So now I`ve closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I`ve found the will to live
But how can I forget you or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes time to forgive
Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago
You know I`d like to hurt you but my conscience always tells me no
You could sell your body on the street to anyone whom you might meet
Who`d love to try and get inside and bust your innocence open wide
`Cause my baby`s got a locomotive, my baby`s gone off the track
My baby`s got a locomotive got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I`m insane, take a closer look I`m not to blame, no
Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I`d rather take a detour `cause this road ain`t gettin` clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
Better tame that boy `cause he`s a wild one
Better tame that boy for he`s a man
Sweetheart don`t make me laugh, you`s gettin` too big for your pants
And I`s think maybe you should cut out while you can
You can use you illusion, let it take you where it may
We live and learn and then sometimes it`s best to walk away
Me I`m just here hangin` on, it`s my only place to stay
At least for now anyway I`ve worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away
I`m taking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that`s passed away
I know it`s never easy, so why should you believe me
When I`ve always got so many things to say
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
`Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page
Kindness is a treasure and it`s one towards me you`ve seldom shown
So I`ll say it for good measure to all the ones like you I`ve known
Ya know I`d like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red
`Cause love to me`s a two way street and all I really want is peace
But my baby`s got a locomotive, my baby`s gone off the track
My baby`s got a locomotive, got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I`m insane, take a closer look I`m not to blame, no
Affection is a blessing can you find it in your sordid heart
I tried to keep this thing ta-gether, but the tremor tore my pad apart
Yeah I know it`s hard to face when all we`ve worked for`s gone to waste
But you`re such a stupid woman and I`m such a stupid man
But love like time`s got its own plans
`Cause my baby`s got a locomotive, my baby`s gone off the track
My baby`s got a locomotive, got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I`m insane, take a closer look I`m not to blame, yeah
If love is blind I guess I`ll buy myself a cane
Love`s so strange
