Lyric Honest With Me

Well, I m stranded in the city that never sleeps
Some of these women they just give me the creeps
I m avoidin the Southside the best I can
These memories I got, they can strangle a man

Well I came ashore in the dead of the night
Lot of things can get in the way when you re tryin to do what s right
You don t understand it - my feelings for you
You d be honest with me if only you knew

I m not sorry for nothin I ve done
I m glad I fought - I only wish we d won
The Siamese twins are comin to town
People can t wait - they re gathered around

When I left my home the sky split open wide
I never wanted to go back there - I d rather have died
You don t understand it - my feelings for you
You d be honest with me if only you knew

My woman got a face like a teddy bear
She s tossin a baseball bat in the air
The meat is so tough you can t cut it with a sword
I m crashin my car, trunk first into the boards

You say my eyes are pretty and my smile is nice
Well, I ll sell it to ya at a reduced price
You don t understand it - my feelings for you
You d be honest with me, if only you knew

Some things are too terrible to be true
I won t come here no more if it bothers you
The Southern Pacific leaving at nine forty-five
I m having a hard time believin some people were ever alive

I m stark naked, but I don t care
I m going off into the woods, I m huntin bare
You don t understand it - my feelings for you
Well, you d be honest with me if only you knew

I m here to create the new imperial empire
I m going to do whatever circumstances require
I care so much for you - didn t think that I could
I can t tell my heart that you re no good

Well, my parents they warned me not to waste my years
And I still got their advice oozing out of my ears
You don t understand it - my feelings for you
Well, you d be honest with me if only you knew
