you said, "don't make plans for tomorrow night. I think we both get off at nine. let's get together, the timing's perfect. my heart sank, well, it didn't sink so much as it fell into it's tomb that it's known too well let's get together, the timing's all wrong. I remember when you used to be my important place to be now you think you love me again and I ask myself if I'm that naive. you said, "no, it's always made me think of you." I lived the movie, so I figured, too. let's get together, the timing's perfect. I remember when you used to say that our love would just get in the way. now you think you're ready for it, but the lights are dim and the wood's decayed. he's gone, in some other state for a night or two. we could get together, just me and you. let's get together, the timing's awful.

pulling the hair from your head in your bedroom. all your best friends have just left you in love with them. wipe away cobwebs and tear down the shades. you be the cold and I'll be the cave. dreams of ex-lovers who've come back to greet you. the boy from the bar so ecstatic to meet you. wipe away cobwebs while you have it made. you be the cold and I'll be the cave. when the phone rings, when heart brings summers bite and bark I simply remember the way that you sing and then I'm alone at last. something possessed you, so who could you turn to? you can't blend the colors the way the sky learned to do. wipe away cobwebs while you're unafraid. our place is in clouds your heart can't contain.

Oh, you tell me that your last good dollar is gone And you say that your pockets are bare And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn And nobody seems to care Now don't tell me your troubles No I don't have the time to spare But if you want to get together and fight Good buddy that's what I want to hear And you tell me that your job was taken away By a big ol' greasy machine And you tell me that you don't collect no more pay And your belly is growing lean Now if I had the jobs to give You know I'd give them all a way But don't waste your breath calling out my name If you don't have nothing to say And you tell me that you don't have nothing to do And you keep on wasting your time And you say when you want to get your family some food You gotta stand in a relief line Now it's a sin and a bloody shame 'Bout the way they're pushing you 'round But when you decide not to take no more You know I'll put my money down 'Cause I've seen your kind many times before And I'll see 'em many times again Oh, but every bad thing that's happened to you Has happened to better men So don't explain that you've lost your way That you've got no place to go You've got a hand and a voice and you're not alone Brother that's all you need to know And if you're still wondering what I'm trying to say Let me tell you what it's all about Now nobody listens to a single man When he's walkin' 'round down and out So if you're looking for an answer He's standing there by your side And you'll never really know how far you'll go 'Til you join together and try So you tell me that your last good dollar is gone And you say that your pockets are bare And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn And nobody seems to care Now don't tell me your troubles No I don't have the time to spare But if you want to get together and fight Good buddy that's what I want to hear
