Always been told that I've got too much to ride.
Always been told that I've got too much pride.
Always been told that I've got too much to write

And getting no way
And getting nowhere
I really need a lover, a lover that wants to be dead
It's been so long since I touched a walking hand
OR
It's been so long since I touched your rotten head
OR
It's been so long since I touched your rotting head
OR
It's been so long since I touched your rotten hair
(Later)
Come with your heart in your hair because my love is guaranteed
OR
Come with your hand in your hair because my love is guaranteed
(Later)
I don't want no face, don't want no funky
I really need a lover, a lover that wants to be there
It's been so long since I touched a wanting hand
(Later)
Come with your heart in your hands because my love is guaranteed
(Later)
I don't want no fakes, don't want no phony
If you're looking for devotion, torture me
Come with your hands in your head
If you're looking for devotion, talk to me
Come with your heart in your hands
It's been so long since I touched your rotting hands.
or
It's been so long since I've touched a walking head.
It's been so long since I touched your wanting hands.
Show me light
Show me life
Show me love 'til it fits in my Porsche.
Show me love 'til it's inside my pores.
Show me love till it's inside my Porsche.
Show me love till it's inside my pores.
Show me love, show me love
'Til I'm hard-boiled.
Show me love, show me love,
'Til I'm up off the floor.
Show me love, show me love
Every hall that I want!
or
Every w**re that I want!
Show me love, show me love
Give me all that I want!
Show me love, show me love
Til' it lives on my porch.
Show me love, show me love
Til' it's inside my pores.
Show me love
'Til I'm hard-boiled or more.
Show me love
'till I'm up off the floor.
Staring at your father grave
Everything now in the past
Staring at your photograph
Everything now in the past
Sure ain't right
Show me life
This was a laxative, not the kind for seven cents.
This was an accident, not the kind where sirens sound.
This was a nice attempt.
This was an accident.
This was an laxative
Not the kind for seven cents.
This was accident
Not the kind where sirens sound.
This world is a nasty place
Not the kind where silence sounds.
This was accident
Not the kind where sirens sound.
You got to show me Rolos
You got to show me love
You got to show me more
You got to show me love
You got to show me up
You got to show me love
