Ballade Of Joe Lyrics

and they struck him down set to coast
as you go - walking - to find out
sneaking arouns part of the needing to
know how it turned out well he just
stood there copping scenes no stage or
so it seemed like he knew it all the time
just had to lay it on the lin he said "I
took my heart out in spades - it never
worked anyway" and that's why he's
gone - he's gone kept it all in sight -
murdering the night one hand to let the
other go under your back turned to the
light - knowing it's not right a stand for
all the power of wonder he said "keep
that love away - it's stronger than the
hate oh don't you let it come any closer"
harder than a day oh joe - is a dream...
and they struck him down nailed to the
post as you go - walking- to find out
sneaking around part of the needing to
know how it turned out well he just
stood there copping scenes no stage or
so it seemed like he knew it all the time
just had to lay it on the line he said "I
took my heart out in spades - it never
worked anyway" and that's why he's
gone to stay he said "I took my heart out
in spades - it never worked anyway"
and that's why he's gone - he's gone
kept it all in sight - murdering the night
one hand to let the other go under your
back turned to the light - knowing it's
not right a stand for all the power of
wonder he said "keep that love away -
it's stronger than the hate oh don't you
let it come any closer" he said "keep that
love away - it's stronger than the hate oh
don't you let it come any closer" he said
"keep that love away - it's stronger than
the hate oh don't you let it come any
closer" harder than a day oh joe - is a
dream...
