Locomotive - Thelonious Monk.mp3

[00:19.46]　 Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
[00:24.49]Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
[00:29.46]If I said that you're my friend
[00:32.46]And our love would never end
[00:34.96]How long before I had your trust again
[00:39.96]I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
[00:45.06]Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
[00:49.46]But how can I protect you
[00:52.46]Or try not to neglect you
[00:55.06]When you won't take the love I have to give
[00:59.76]I bought me an illusion
[01:02.56]An I put it on the wall
[01:05.16]I let it fill my head with dreams
[01:08.06]And I had to have them all
[01:10.56]But oh the taste is never so sweet
[01:15.56]As what you'd believe it is-
[01:18.06]Well I guess it never is
[01:20.56]It's these prejudiced illusions
[01:24.06]That pump the blood
[01:26.06]To the heart of the biz
[01:28.06]You know I never thought
[01:31.06]That it could take so long
[01:33.56]You know I never knew how to be strong
[01:38.06]Yeah, I let you shape me
[01:40.56]But I feel as though you raped me
[01:43.56]'Cause you climbed inside my world
[01:46.06]And in my songs
[01:48.56]So now I've closed the door
[01:51.56]To keep the cold outside
[01:54.06]Seems somehow I've found the will to live
[01:58.56]But how can I forget you
[02:01.56]Or try not to reject you
[02:04.06]When we both know it takes time to forgive
[02:08.56]Sweetness is a virtue
[02:11.56]And you lost your virtue long ago
[02:14.56]You know I'd like to hurt you
[02:17.56]But my conscience always tells me no
[02:20.56]You could sell your body on the street
[02:24.06]To anyone whom you might meet
[02:26.56]Who'd love to try and get inside
[02:29.56]And bust your innocence open wide
[02:32.06]'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
[02:37.06]My baby's gone off the track
[02:42.06]My baby's got a locomotive
[02:47.06]Got ta peel the ***** off my back
[02:51.56]I know it looks like I'm insane
[02:54.56]Take a closer look I'm not to blame
[02:57.06]No
[02:58.06]Gonna have some fun with my frustration
[03:03.06]Gonna watch the big screen in my head
[03:08.06]I'd rather take a detour
[03:10.56]'Cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
[03:13.56]Your train of thought has cut me off again
[03:17.56]Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
[03:22.06]Better tame that boy for he's a man
[03:26.06]Sweetheart don't make me laugh
[03:29.06]You's gettin' too big for your pants
[03:32.06]And I's think maybe you should
[03:34.56]Cut out while you can
[03:36.56]You can use you illusion-
[03:39.56]Let it take you where it may
[03:42.06]We live and learn
[03:44.56]And then sometimes it's best to walk away
[03:47.56]Me I'm just here hangin' on
[03:51.06]It's my only place to stay at least
[03:54.56]For now anyway
[03:56.56]I've worked too hard for my illusions
[04:00.56]Just to throw them all away
[04:03.56]I'm taking time for quiet consolation
[04:08.06]In passing by this love that's passed away
[04:12.06]I know it's never easy-
[04:15.06]So why should you believe me
[04:17.56]When I've always got so many things to say
[04:22.06]Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
[04:27.06]'Cause playful hearts
[04:29.06]Can sometimes be enraged
[04:31.56]You know I tried to wake you-
[04:34.56]I mean how long could it take you
[04:37.06]To open up your eyes and turn the page
[04:41.56]Kindness is a treasure-
[04:44.56]And it's one towards me you've seldom shown
[04:47.56]So I'll say it for good measure
[04:50.56]To all the ones like you I've known
[04:53.56]Ya know I'd like to shave your head
[04:57.06]And all my friends could
[04:59.06]paint it red
[05:01.06]'Cause love to me's a two way street
[05:04.56]An all I really want is peace
[05:07.06]But my baby's got a locomotive
[05:12.06]My baby's gone off the track
[05:17.06]My baby's got a locomotive
[05:22.06]Got ta peel the ***** off my back
[05:26.56]I know it looks like I'm insane
[05:29.56]Take a closer look I'm not to blame
[05:32.06]No
[05:33.06]Affection is a blessing
[05:36.06]Can you find it in your sordid heart
[05:39.06]I tried to keep this thing
[05:41.06]ta-gether
[05:43.06]But the tremor tore my pad apart
[05:46.56]Yeah I know it's hard to face
[05:49.56]When all we've worked for's gone to waste
[05:52.56]But you're such a stupid woman
[05:55.56]And I'm such a stupid man
[05:58.56]But love like time's got its own plans
[06:01.56]'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
[06:06.56]My baby's gone off the track
[06:11.56]My baby's got a locomotive
[06:16.56]Got ta peel the ***** off my back
[06:21.06]I know it looks like I'm insane
[06:24.06]Take a closer look I'm not to blame
[06:26.56]Yeah
[06:27.56]If love is blind I guess
[06:30.56]I'll buy myself a cane
[06:33.56]LOVE'S SO STRANGE
[06:36.56] LOVE'S SO STRANGE
