And she won't give up, 'Cause she's seventeen.She's a frozen fire, She's my one desire. And I don't want to hold her down, Don't want to break her crown When she saysLet's go.

"There's a shit storm a'coming, I feel it coming soon. There's a time and a place, And a moment in space When the fat boys call the tune. There's a bubble a bouncing And it's bouncing my way. There's two sticks in the powderworks, I think it's gonna blow today."

"But if I work all day on the Blue Sky Mine (There'll be food on the table tonight) Still I walk up and down on the Blue Sky Mine There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)The candy store paupers lie to the shareholders. They're crossing their fingers, they pay the truth makers. The balance sheet is breaking up the sky. So I'm caught at the junction, still waiting for medicine. The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine. Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night."

"And it feels like love, But it don't mean a lot. And it feels like love, And it's all that we've got.There's a Heartbreak Beat playing all night long Down on my street. And it feels like love, got the radio on, And it's all that we need."

"Hamburger Mary She's got a gun Nothing goes on all the time And she thinks it's fun"
