I  never know what kind of day it is
on  my battlefield  of ideals
But  the way she touches and the way it feels
must  be just  how it heals
But  it's got a little better since I let her sundance
 I never know what time of year it is
 living on top of the fire
 But the robin outside has to hunt and hide
 in the cold frosty shire
Ah  but he knows just what goes in between his cold toes and his warm  ears
And  he's got no disguise in his eyes for his love as she nears
He  spreads her a shelter
 She takes the tall skies
 As they helter skelter
 Along the same sighs
 She wakes my days with a glad face
 She fakes and says I'm a hard case
 She makes and plays like a bad ace
 Carrying my days into scarred space
And  she knows me well
Ah  but what the hell
 Only time can tell, where we're going to
Me  and my woman
 Me and my little woman
 And the Lord speaks out and the pigpens fawn
 The sword slides out and the nations mourn
 The hoard strides out and the chposen spawn
 The devil rides out and the heavens yawn
And  he knows me well
Ah  but what the hell
 Only time can tell, where we're going to
Me  and my woman
 Me and my little woman
What  a lovely day
What  a day to play at living
 What a mess we make
What  a trust we break
 Not giving  our wings to our children
 O how we fail  them
 O how we nail  them
Sunset  my colour
And king  is my name
Darkness  my lover
And we  live in shame
Too  far away
 From the light of the day
 And so near, and  so here
Can  i break through the silence  that has  taken my place
 On the plains of the morning that i just could not face
Asking  you these questions
 telling you these lies
 Enveloping directions
 Developing disguise
 Open to suggestions
 But I'm  closed  to all my  eyes
/
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Space  is just an ashtray
 Flesh is my best wheel
 The atmosphere's my highway
 And the landscape's my next meal
 I need my own Good Friday
 And I'm trying  my best to fix the  deal
/
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
I  am the new crowned landlord
 Of all beneath my star
 Queueing up for doomsday
 In my homesick motor car
 Born before my mother
Died  before my Pa
/
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
 Dead on arrival, right where I stand
 And the cuckoo she moves through the dawn fanfare
 The dew leaves the rooves in the magic air
 I feel a finger running through my nightmares lair
 I feel most together with my nowhere stare
and  you know me well
Ah  but what the hell
 Only time can tell, where I'm going to
Me  and my woman
 Me and my little woman
 Me and my woman
 Me and my little woman
