Film Noir (Live at Park Ave)

I'm all washed out by the side of the road
Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose
Sayin', "Baby honey child, I've loved you so long
But you deserve much better than me."

So I'm just burnin' all around all the miles in the road
And I'm never goin' back and I'm never goin' home
I've been gone too long, I've been less right than wrong
I lost so much blood in the fallin' out

And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
Until all I remember was burnin' away
And that you left me, you burned it away

See, for ten long years I've been hustlin' around
Trying to wash the sins and the sweat from my brow
Just trying to find a better life for me and my own
Just some rest for these tired working fingers

But nobody never gonna tell you the way
You gotta figure it out boys and suffer the rain
And the fools in the night and the heat of the day
When all you ever really wanted was for someone to understand

And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
Until all I remember was burning away
And all I remember, you burned it away

Well, don't you take it so hard and baby, don't you cry
You cross your hard heart and you hope to die
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night

And you're sugar and spice and everything nice
You got Monroe hips, your poisoned lips and knives
And you're sugar and spice and everything nice
You got them open wounds in a young boy's pride

And you're sugar and spice darling, and everything nice
Monroe hips, your poisoned lips and knives
Sugar and spice, everything nice
Open wounds in a young boy's pride

And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
Until all I remember was burnin' away
And all that you left me, you burned it away

Well, don't you take it so hard and baby, don't you cry
You cross your heart hard and you hope to die
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night

And you’re keeping on with time, time tickin' away
You got my time, time tickin' away
All over my face, time tickin' away
[?], time tickin' away
