I was homeless when I was younger and I was suicidal when I was 21. Anything that has happened after that is like water off a duck's back.
When you look into my eyesAnd you see the crazy gypsy in my soulIt always comes as a surpriseWhen I feel my withered roots begin to growWell I never had a place that I could call my very ownThat's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home
In hell there's a big hotel where the bar just closed and the windows never opened. No phone so you can't call home, and the TV works, but the clicker is broken.
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own/That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home.
If I traveled all my life And I never get to stop and settle down Long as I have you by my side There's a roof above and good walls all around You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.
There's a place in the world for the angry young man With his working class ties and his radical plans He refuses to bend he refuses to crawl And he's always at home with his back to the wall And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost And struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross And likes to be known as the angry young man.
You just sit home and masturbate. The phone is going to ring soon, but you just can't wait.
Drank a lot of take home pay.
I know that everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream And this is my dream, my own Just to be at home And to be all alone . . . with you.
You can't go home with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You don't sleep with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You don't get hugged by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and you don't have children with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I want what everybody else wants: to love and to be loved, and to have a family. Being in love has always been the most important thing in my life.
I've only felt content a few times in my life, and it never lasted. I'm very discontented right now. There are situations in my life that didn't pan out. I'm like most other human beings. I try and I fail.
I see the winos talking to themselvesAnd I can understand.
They all want your white body, and they await your reply.But, between you and me, and this Staten Island ferry... so do I...
And the word spread of Billy the Kid.
