Teksten - The waiting room

Probably

drinkin' the probably best whiskey in the world

listenin' to the probably best music ever heard

livin' with the probably best family worldwide

and probably some weird gods on my side

in the probably warmest jersey a grandma has been knittin'

readin' the probably best poems ever written

in the probably best company 'cause I'm out here all alone

ignorin' the probably bad-news-bringin' ringin' of the phone

all I do is roll

and I really don't know whereto

I'm a rootless man and I must roll

'til I find my peace of mind

and a haven for my soul

from behind the probably homiest and safest door

far away from where Americans are probably at war

digestin' the probably best meal a man can earn

probably overanalyzin' all the lessons I did learn

from the probably best mother one can be born

in the probably best shoes I've ever worn

aware of the probability this might one day be a song

asumin' there's probably no best place I do belong

and all I do is roll...

I'm so cold without you

some bodies came in to love me

but I was sendin' 'm through

some bodies came in to warm me

still I'm so cold without you

I'm so cold without you

nobody's called my name

I didn't wanna hear the song

somebody's threw me a flame

but the lights are out now that you're gone

the lights are out now that you're gone

I was raised a restless man

and restless 's what I am

let's see what's 'round the corner

is there more pink than blue

that keeps me waitin' for you?

no I could not lead the dance

in every short romance

I stayed one picture long

uneasy I was goin'

what keeps me waitin' for you?

oh I'm so cold without you

yeah I'm so cold without you

some bodies came in to love me

Blues workin'

you call me from the ladies room

to say that you're expectin' me

come knockin' gently, seven times

and I will turn the key

I still can hear the sound of the last door

I closed behind me leavin' you once more

all my tickets for a ride

lay cut to pieces on my floor

you got my blues workin'

you got my blues workin' baby for you

you got my blues workin'

you got my blues workin' baby for you

right here with my hands

I'm kneadin' grit to stick with me

right here in my hands

where you belong and for ever wanna be

gotta fight my way out of dead end alley

can't go round the mountain to the valley

all my tickets for a ride are ashes

still I dilly-dally

you got my blues workin'...

the listless wolf is in the pack

and pays no attention to the moon

daydreams with him, on your back

still make you go off in a swoon

the light goes by on single malt

the dark is cryin' tears of salt

all the tickets for a ride are shreds

nothin' happenin' in our beds

you got my blues workin'...

Never gonna give you up

I'm never gonna give you up,

never gonna let you down,

no matter what times are on the move

no I'm never gonna give you up

I'm never gonna let you down

no matter what goddess will ask me to

while a full moon is burnin' in the bonfire

I'm wonderin' where's that howlin' wolf

our hearts are wrapped up in barbed wire

o their playground, their playground

their playground too misty for a move

no I'm never gonna give you up ...

the lights they may be on now in our big house

a crowded place from noon to noon

but what about the flickerin', in our own eyes

isn't it due back

isn't it due back before soon

no I'm never gonna give you up...

Said alright

I said alright I will love you 'til the end of time

well alright I will love you 'til the end of time

I said alright I will love you

you can't make love, love makes you,

love's at the wheel, you're in the back,

love will hit you straight out of the blue

there's no defense against a love-attack

I was asked a question, I said yes

she was asked a question and said yes

we stepped outside into the rain of rice

grains gone, we learned about the price

I said alright...

mama's in the kitchen, daddy's in the picture

the son is ridin' on his bike

the girls are sweet, they're drinkin' tea

mama made to make us sleep all night

my darlin' birds, you can grow up on my wire

'til you wanna fly away my darlin' birds

will you throw your makers' warnings in the fire

like I did the other day

anyhow I said, I will love you 'til the end of time

anyhow I will love you 'til the end of time

well alright I will love you...

Weddin' day

well he was there, when the lights went out,

couldn't see her touch the hand of that other guy,

her perfect smile was flyin' to the heart of a stranger

just like it had flown to him on day one

well a man is strong, in a woman's arms

when she holds him like a mother or a child

now a man takes off his hat, sits down to eat his plate,

but the bed is gettin' colder every day

all the way, all the way

he mistrusted the rain on his weddin' day

well the bellman was still shoutin' that pain was at the door,

gazin' at the floor, she said "I'm leavin'",

and the rain, it sang a song on the windowpane

as she got out and he watched her walk away

all the way, all the way

he mistrusted the rain on his weddin' day

Six string train

I gotta pick myself a baby for the night

I gotta pick myself a baby and I'll be doin' fine

when I pick myself that baby for the night

I'm on a six string train...

I gotta strum myself into that other town

I gotta strum myself away from here and I'll be doin' fine

when I strum myself into that other town

I'm on a six-string-train...

hear me baby, hold me dear

roll 'm baby, roll 'm dear,

roll your fingers through my lanky hair

grab me lady, what's the matter,

I don't plan to stay for ever

I just want a baby for the night

I'm on a six string train...

I'm on a six string train to bring my baby home

I'm on a six string train away from here

and I wonder where we're goin'

and I'm hopin' for a place where I belong

yeah I'm hopin' for a place where I belong

I'm on a six string train...

Love is the dope

I had both of my feet walkin' the street

lookin' for love all the time

both of my eyes were two rollin' dice

to the love of my life

at the very end of a trivial day

lookin' for love one can't find

under a fringe, singin' for me,

two eyes in a choir of desire

singin'

love is the dope

love is the dope of all times

singin'

love is the dope

love is the dope of all times

now my burden is gone, this lad's in love,

love is the dope of all times

yeah I'm still walkin' streets but all I can see

is a fringe above eyes full of fire

yeah my burden is gone, I know where I belong

love is the dope of all times

come summer, come fall, come winter, know all

that love is the dope of all times

yeah love is the dope

love is the dope

love is the dope of all times

she sent me some waves and vibrations that played

with my heart like the wind plays with fire

she entered my soul as an s.o.s.-call

as a cry from the dark for some light

singin'

love is the dope

love is the dope of all times

singin'

love is the dope

love is the dope of all times

Wild ways

have you seen that look in her eyes?

it drove me mad, it drove me wild.

have you seen that look in her eyes?

a million nails that nailed me to the ground

an eye, a look, a book with no last page

an eye, a look, a book on love and rage

I saw it all, one moment, before she walked away

in her wild wild ways

wild wild ways

in her wild wild ways

all the best on all the roads

you travel on and on away from me

and if happiness travels with you,

all the roads are yours, but all I see

is that look in your eyes that drove me wild

and set my heart aflame,

I saw it all one moment before you walked away

in your wild wild ways

have you seen that look in her eyes?

On the road again

I always loved the shadows of the trees growin' on your land

I rest upon your moss to gather strength to stand for what I am

I once took you for a fatal love

now you're my guidin' star above

whenever I get off the road, you steer me

on the road again...

you took me places, moved my cases

and you're harder than any rock I wrecked on

you show me that the truth is everywhere

and that every worn out shoe can be repaired

to walk upon your ever magic land

and on the road again...

and to gather all the time it takes

to love her up to the point she breaks

you need the help of gods

at first I was a little scared

to ask her for her hand

but as I did

I was in the shadows of the trees that are growin' on your land

and now I rest upon your moss to gather strength to stand for what I am

I once took you for a fatal love

now you're my guidin' star above

whenever I get off the road , you steer me

on the road again...

Wonderful rainy day

oh it's such a wonderful rainy day

you and I, we're stayin' in bed

oh it's such a wonderful rainy day

you and I, we're stayin' in

you and I once got lost

slammin' the doors of our home

we thought we needed two cars

to find a better place under the sun

but now all we pray for is rain

it's such a wonderful rainy day...

there were times many words on our tongues

ended up in a very sad song,

singin' it alone in a moonlight

in a hopeless Jerusalem,

but a sad song too's got an end

it's such a wonderful rainy day...

I would sing from the rooftops,

about our love from the rooftops,

but rooftops are dangerous on rainy days

it's such a wonderful rainy day

you and I, we're stayin' in bed

it's such a wonderful rainy day

you and I, we're stayin' in bed

Blueprint

the lilies came on saturdays

and every lily brought a tear

helpless lilies in a vase

lilies at his feet, oh dear

I talked to him and to myself

I made a promise to be good

from 8 years old to where we meet again

live a life in gratitude

my gratefulness followed the lilies

and from every cross I ran

I wasn't too much of a maker

but today, today I know I stand

on the home side of the fire

the fat side of the land

on top of mount desire

on the blueprint of your plan

almost 40 years, are gone

and I'm not through with doin' wrong

but all the extra time I get,

the extra time you did not get,

I'll show you zeal and backbone

and loads of love on top of that

I can see your picture on the wall

but your voice I cannot hear at all

the way you moved, I do ignore

I would trade a million of my kisses for one of yours

here on the homeside of the fire

on the fat side of the land

on top of mount desire

on the blueprint of your plan...

Without this girl I cannot win

I keep an eye on the things you do

I keep one eye open when you sleep

I got a handful of breadcrumbs

not to get lost in love so deep

I was mountainhigh when I heard you

say you just ran out of time to weep

I threw myself into your river

not to get lost in love so deep

somebody locked me in,

in a hollow tree,

there is no lock and there's no key

somebody locked her out

of the world within

without this girl I cannot win...

without this girl I cannot win

I talked to you over the phone

and you lied that all the neighbours miss me

I got no plan, nor promises to keep

not to get lost in love so deep

somebody locked me in
