When I die throw my body in the back and drive me to the junk yard in my Cadillac.

I come from a boardwalk town where almost everything is tinged with a bit of fraud. So am I.

For me, I was somebody who was a smart young guy who didn't do very well in school. The basic system of education, I didn't fit in; my intelligence was elsewhere.

I do a lot of curiosity buying; I buy it if I like the album cover, I buy it if I like the name of the band, anything that sparks my imagination. I still like to go to record stores, I like to just wander around and I'll buy whatever catches my attention.

My soul is lost, my friend, tell me how do I begin again? My city's in ruins, my city's in ruins.

For one kiss, darling, I swear everything I would give. Cause you're a walking, talking reason to live.

I think when you're a child, you just cling to the basics, which is the basic story of Jesus and the crucifixion and hell and eternal punishment and the flames. This was all stuff that was - forget when you're young.
