Lyric Locomotive

Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah I ll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you re my friend and our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hopin that you d find your own way in
But how can I protect you or try not to neglect you
When you won t take the love I have to give

I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all
But oh the taste is never so sweet as what you d believe it is
Well I guess it never is
I s these prejudiced illusions that pump the blood to the heart of the biz

You know I never thought that it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me but I feel as though you raped me
Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs
So now I ve closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I ve found the will to live
But how can I forget you or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes time to forgive

Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago
You know I d like to hurt you but my conscience always tells me no
You could sell your body on the street to anyone whom you might meet
Who d love to try and get inside and bust your innocence open wide

Cause my baby s got a locomotive, my baby s gone off the track
My baby s got a locomotive got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I m insane, take a closer look I m not to blame, no

Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I d rather take a detour cause this road ain t gettin clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
Better tame that boy cause he s a wild one
Better tame that boy for he s a man
Sweetheart don t make me laugh, you s gettin too big for your pants
And I s think maybe you should cut out while you can

You can use you illusion, let it take you where it may
We live and learn and then sometimes it s best to walk away
Me I m just here hangin on, it s my only place to stay
At least for now anyway I ve worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away

I m taking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that s passed away
I know it s never easy, so why should you believe me
When I ve always got so many things to say
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page

Kindness is a treasure and it s one towards me you ve seldom shown
So I ll say it for good measure to all the ones like you I ve known
Ya know I d like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red
Cause love to me s a two way street and all I really want is peace

But my baby s got a locomotive, my baby s gone off the track
My baby s got a locomotive, got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I m insane, take a closer look I m not to blame, no

Affection is a blessing can you find it in your sordid heart
I tried to keep this thing ta-gether, but the tremor tore my pad apart
Yeah I know it s hard to face when all we ve worked for s gone to waste
But you re such a stupid woman and I m such a stupid man
But love like time s got its own plans

Cause my baby s got a locomotive, my baby s gone off the track
My baby s got a locomotive, got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I m insane, take a closer look I m not to blame, yeah
If love is blind I guess I ll buy myself a cane

Love s so strange
