No life, no life without a fall Now the wind has swept us all Down to this mission wall And the love, the love we pray to keep Has buried us so deep And me singing this same sad song How I fell into her arms Her warm and loving arms She said, "You can never be free You can never be like me" Now I'm a mad dog and I'm mean Now you honey or my queen Let us sleep tomorrow In the mellow wallow Oh, there's still time to borrow And in the mellow wallow I shout
We will never have it all Tonight I'm screaming at the wall Peel the paint off with my ring Such material has no choice I peel the paint off with my voice Curse this city's deep, black soul Now I'm sleeping on the floor Honey, I'm soaking wet and Oh, they're coming now They're coming now They're coming for me As long as we are free We'll be doomed to live and die Under the great suburban sky And I'll always holler In the mellow wallow Oh, there's still time to borrow And in the mellow wallow Jesus
Head of heaven, head of hell You are treating me quite well Washed me up upon a shore Now I'm scratching down your door All the words become my hymns Cold and broken on the floor Peeling gooseflesh off your back Pulling back your long, black hair Now this beauty is my queen Skinny arms so very slow A perfume neck and a blanket so small Oh, what beauty, oh, what bridge
I will sleep tomorrow And in the mellow wallow Oh, there's still time to borrow And in the mellow wallow I had a fall to be a controller Lost and swept away I will always wait up Won't you listen now Let me sleep tomorrow away
We'll never have it all Now the wind has swept us all Down to this mission wall And see, the rhythm is your hand Speed the rhythm, speed the band This is the bright amphetamine sky
