SONG:Honest With Me

Well, i'm stranded in the city that never sleeps
some of these women they just give me the creeps
i'm avoidin' the southside the best i can
these memories i got, they can strangle a man
Well i came ashore in the dead of the night
lot of things can get in the way when you're tryin' to do what's right
you don't understand it - my feelings for you
you'd be honest with me if only you knew
I'm not sorry for nothin' i've done
i'm glad i fought - i only wish we'd won
the siamese twins are comin' to town
people can't wait - they're gathered around
When i left my home the sky split open wide
i never wanted to go back there - i'd rather have died
you don't understand it - my feelings for you
you'd be honest with me if only you knew
My woman got a face like a teddy bear
she's tossin' a baseball bat in the air
the meat is so tough you can't cut it with a sword
i'm crashin' my car, trunk first into the boards
You say my eyes are pretty and my smile is nice
well, i'll sell it to ya at a reduced price
you don't understand it - my feelings for you
you'd be honest with me, if only you knew
Some things are too terrible to be true
i won't come here no more if it bothers you
the southern pacific leaving at nine forty-five
i'm having a hard time believin' some people were ever alive
I'm stark naked, but i don't care
i'm going off into the woods, i'm huntin' bare
you don't understand it - my feelings for you
well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew
I'm here to create the new imperial empire
i'm going to do whatever circumstances require
i care so much for you - didn't think that i could
i can't tell my heart that you're no good

Well, my parents they warned me not to waste my years
and i still got their advice oozing out of my ears
you don't understand it - my feelings for you
well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew
