Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes I can barely define the shape of this moment in time And far from flying high in clear blue skies I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide If you negotiate the minefield in the drive And

You keep turning, keep turning my life around You're my kaleidoscope Hey la nah nah oh Violets and purples Diamonds and circles I love every minute You've got me in it

Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found Havin' hard times in this crazy town Cold, cold eyes upon me they stare People all around me and they're all in fear They don't seem to want me but they won't admit I must be some kind of creature up here

Worlds are spinning 'round Don't forget to take a breath There's no time for slowing down So won't you take a breath? Just take a breath People change and promises are broken Clouds can move and skies will be wide open We've all been down that road

My head's spinning around and round And the world keeps trying to bring me down, oh I bought a ticket to the joy parade And I ain't jumping off of this happy train, no I will live what this life's about, With or without I will bend and I will sway I will

Nirvana, nirvana, nirvana, nirvana When I'm feeling tired She pushed food through the door And I crawl towards the crack of light Sometimes I can't find my way Newspapers spread around Soaking all that they can A cleaning is due again

And fall into these open arms of love Listen to these charms 'Cause baby I'm not fooling Why couldn't I have realized But I won't do it anymore Trust in me and fall in love again 'Cause baby I'm not fooling around Don't be a fool Don't give your nights

And I know you won't let me down 'Cause I'm already standin' On the ground I like the way your sparkling earrings lay Against your skin so brown And I want to sleep with you in the desert night With a billion stars all around 'Cause I got a peaceful easy

I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine Since, I don't know when I'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a-rollin' On down to San Antone When I was just a baby

Waiting, waiting, waiting Whiskey in my hand Staring out the window For one more second chance Hoping headlights Come pouring round the bend Saying baby wait Up I'm coming home I'm still all alone
