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  An 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  It'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  An 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
