I can see clearly nothing as clear I keep falling apart ev'ry
year Let's take a hammer to it There's no glamour in it Is there any
way out of this dream
I'm as blue as I can possibly be Is there
someone else out there for me Summer is dragging it's feet I feel so
incomplete Is there any way out of this dream

Here comes the bride And there goes the groom Looks like a
hurricane Went thru this room Smells like a poolhall Where's my other
shoe And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you
Looks like you
spent the nite in a trench And tell me, How long have you been combing
your hair with a wrench Blue roses are dead And the violets are too And
I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you
Well, I've told you
before I won't tell you again You don't defrost the icebox With a ball
point pen This railroad apartment Is held together with glue And I'm
sick and tired of pickin' up after you
Because I know I been
swindled I never bargained for this Once more you never cared about
me Why don't you get your own place So you can live like you do And I'm
sick and tired of pickin' up after you
Take all your relatives And all
of your shoes Believe me I'll really swing When you're gone I'll be
living on chicken and wine After we're thru With someone I pick up after
you With someone I'll pick up after you With someone I'll pick up after
you with someone I'll pick up after you

Old Boyfriends, Lost in the pocket of your overcoat, Like burned
out lite bulbs on a Ferris Wheel.
Old Boy friends, You remember the
kinds of cars they drove, Parking in an orange grove. He fell in love you
see, With someone that I used to be.
Tho I very seldom think of
him, Nevertheless sometimes a mannequin's Blue satin dress can make the
window Like a dream Ah but now those dreams belong to someone else, Now
they talk endlessly In a drawer where I keep All my
Old
Boyfriends Remember when you were burning for them? Why do you keep
turning them into Old Boyfriends? They look you up when they're in
town To see if they can still burn you down You fell in love you
see With someone that I used to be
Old Boyfriends Turn up every
time it rains, Fall out of the pages in a magazine Old
Boyfriends. Girls fill up the bars every spring, Not places for
remembering. Old boyfriends All my old boyfriends Old
boyfriends

Broken bicycles, Old busted chains, With busted handle bars Out
in the rain. Somebody must Have an orphanage for All these things that
nobody Wants any more September's reminding July It's time to be saying
good-bye.
Summer is gone, Our love will remain. Like old broken
bicycles Out in the rain.
Broken Bicycles, Don't tell my
folks; There's all those playing cards Pinned to the spokes, Laid down
like skeletons out on the lawn. The wheels won't turn When the other
has gone. The seasons can turn on a dime, Somehow I forget every
time; For all the things that you've given me Will always stay Broken,
but I'll never throw them away

As you go out it's Independence Day; But instead I'll just pour myself
a drink. It's got to be love, I've never felt this way. Oh baby, this
one's from the heart
The shadows in the road look like a railroad
track. I wonder if he's (ever) really comin' back. The moon's a yellow
stain across the sky. Oh baby, this one's from the heart
(Maybe) And
I'll go down to the corner and get a racin' form, (But) And I should prob'ly
wait here by the phone. And the brakes need adjustment on the
convertible Oh baby, this one's from the heart
The worm is climbin'
the other color tree Robin is back against the wall; Pour myself a double
sympathy Oh baby, this one's from the heart.
Blondes, brunettes, and
redheads put their hammer down (To put ) don't pound a cold chisel thru my
heart. But they were nothin' but apostrophes. O baby, this one's from the
heart.
I can't tell, is that a siren or a saxophone? But the roads get
so slipp'ry (when it rains) I love you more than all these words can ever
say Oh baby, this one's from the heart.
