Well I lay my head on the railroad track
Waiting on the Double E
But the train don't run by here no more
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe woe is me
Well I met a man out in Hollywood
Now I ain't naming names
Well he really worked me over good
Just like Jesse James
Yes he really worked me over good
He was a credit to his gender
Put me through some changes

Aching For You
Chinese food and your sleeping back...
We're born-again losers...
It's funny...
Honey, you know, this is not so bad...
Hanging around, wired for sound...
It's funny and sad and it's true...
I'm aching for you...
We carry an island around on our backs...
Wer're born-again vagrants...
It's funny...
We ask for nothing wherever we land...
Meanwhile, we got nothing, isn't that something?
Wailing in the garage, breaking all the rules, and I don't need you...
You know you're truly bizarre, you're changing all the rules, and I don't need you, but I want you bad...
We're all I ever had...
Love is a needle, goes all the way down...
I'm always surprised...
So shoot me a roll of your best paradise...
It's so pretty, I just want to die...
It's funny...
