the only thing i knew how to do was to keep on keeping on

You say you're looking for someone who'll pick you up each time you fall, to gather flowers constantly and to come each time you call, a lover your life and nothing more. But it ain't me, babe.

The naked truth is still taboo.

every pleasure's got an edge of pain, pay your ticket and don't complain

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

Technology to wipe out truth is now available. Not everybody can afford it but it's available. When the cost comes down, look out!

Once I went into songwriting, I figured I had to - I couldn't be a hellfire rock 'n' roller. But I could write hellfire lyrics.
