On me But I remember on the bathroom floor Before I went on tour Like you said we couldn't do it again...

In a quaint caravan There's a lady they call the Gypsy She can look in the future And drive away all your fears Everything will come right If you only believe the Gypsy She could tell at a glance That my heart was so full of tears She looked at my hand and told me My lover was always true And yet in my heart I knew, dear Somebody else was kissing you But I'll go there again 'Cause I want to believe the Gypsy That my lover is true And will come back to me someday You see, she looked at my hand and Told me that my baby would always be true And yet, in my heart I knew, dear That somebody else was kissing you But I'll go there again 'Cause I want to believe the Gypsy That my lover is true And will come back to me someday

There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many poor boys And God, I know I'm one My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and trunk And the only time he's satisfied Is when he's on a drunk Oh, mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the house of the rising sun Well, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain Well, there is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boys And God, I know I'm one

Sharp and open, leave me alone And sleeping less every night As the days become heavier and weighted Waiting in the cold light A noise, a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten With spiders inside them and dust on the lips of a vision of hell I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year A hundred other words blind me with your purity Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance I think about tomorrow, please let me sleep As I slip down the window Freshly squashed fly You mean nothing You mean nothing I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls All the time, lose me in the dark Please do it right Run into the night I will lose myself tomorrow Crimson pain, my heart explodes My memory in a fire, and someone will listen At least for a short while (I can never say no) I can never say no to anyone but you Too many secrets, too many lies Writhing with hatred Too many secrets, please make it good tonight But the same image haunts me, in sequence, despair of time I will never be clean again Touched her eyes, pressed my stained face I will never be clean again Touched her eyes, pressed my stained face I will never be clean again I will never be clean again I will never be clean again I will never be clean again
