I guess I should've known
By the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
See you're the kinda person
That believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast

Little Red Corvette
Prince

Not necessarily my favorite but always struck me as Clever—

And I played the blues in twelve bars down on Lovers' Lane

You said 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die'
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

+1. Juliet, I’d do the stars with you... anytime.

In spite of ourselves, we’ll end up sittin’ on a rainbow
Against all odds, honey, we’re the big door prize
We’re gonna spite our noses right off of our faces
Won’t be nothing but big old hearts dancin’ in our eyes

And after all this time
You're always on my mind
Hey I could never let you go
A broken heart that heals so slow
Could never beat for someone new
While you're alive and I am too
And after all this time
You're always on my mind
I still miss you

After All This Time

But they're waiting just the same
With their flashlights and their semaphores
And I'll act like I[b] have faith and like that faith never ends
But I really just have friends.

I can be someone tonight
Just an unguarded moment she leaves at the end of the night
I can be someone tonight
Come let me down
Come let me down

You were right when you said all that glitters isn't gold
You were right when you said all we are is dust in the wind
You were right when you said we're all just bricks in the wall
And when you said manic depression's a frustrated mess

You were wrong when you said everything's gonna be alright.

The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming

And they'll have puttering on rainy weekends, autumn days that make you feel sad,
They'll have hundred year old plumbing and the family you never had,
And a Hudson River clean-up concert and a bundle-bearing stork,
And I hear they've got a menu planned, it's trés western New York.

But it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest

I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year...

When we were kings we were young and we were able
Lay our cards down on the table and we played them as they lay
Back in the day we were stubborn and defiant
Casting shadows tall as giants over every living thing

When we were kings
We left our footprints in the sand
We held the reins with steady hands
We had the world in our command

When we began
We were swimming in the deep-end
Watching years go by like weekends
Out of the corners of our eyes

Have Gun, Will Travel
