[Lyrics - Bruce Springstein cover]
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I’m on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I’m on fire

Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife baby
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the
middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I’m on fire

[Lyrics]
well the cold has a hard time finding me
unlike some folks I know
yeah all the men down in union square 
are worried about the snow

when your pockets fill
with dollar bills
your heart forgets to eat
its a wicked thing
it owns this street

yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
well if she was six teeth younger and if I had half a mind
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside

well I saw a carried bundle that has fingers eyes and toes
as a father of deception I have never raised a soul

it’s a purchase captured second hand and cherished more than gold
it’s a shelter from that wicked thing that wanders in the night

so fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
well if she was six teeth younger and if I had half a mind
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside

the water on the dirty streets has all but turned to ice
to pave the road for wicked things that wander in the night

[Lyrics}
just a mile down the road and a street or two away
lives that freckled misses that I want most every day
to the home of her father 
im gonna drag my sore ol’ feet
tell him shes the woman who can wake me from my sleep

well she said kiss me
and lord I listened
but I haven’t gone back since
i curse the mind for building proper fence

so I will roll and I will suffer
curse the soil and curse the stones
keep my eyes a leakin’ for that girl does love my bones

well I’ve known her for a year
I’ve only seen her seven days
one week to many to keep a man like me away

well she said kiss me
and lord I listened
but I haven’t gone back since
i curse the mind for building proper fence

so three years after
found her doorstep
found her shoes and found her kin
they told me old grim reaper 
done come and turned her in

pourin’ liquor on the stone
that marks my lost and gone
well i will whimper and wail
and sing her funeral song

[Lyrics]
Carl was going to walk until he found Alaska
or a knife to carve a sneer into a bathroom wall
while Willie found his note that would lead him to her legs
that were lyin’ in her bed still calling out for Carl
where has my love gone?

I’ll love Willie will he love me?

Carl found Alaska hunted seals for seven months
found it immoral 
returned to seek his home
little did he find when he arrived
the door was open 
everything was out on the lawn
oh where has my love gone

she loves Willie will she love me?

Carl found Alaksa hunted seals for seven months 
found it immoral
returned to seek his home

[Lyrics]
so I tried a new direction
a new mindset
a new state
but runnings what it is
its hard when you’re kid 
to find your place
I know a gang of clever fellows
we built a fort out in the woods
we cuss and spit at all the girls
aint got a care in all the world
yeah the livin is good
but now im supposed to grow
big and tall
seems like I dont get to wear my bare feet
at all
but when the storm is through
my feet know what to do
all roads lead to you

I think ive grown a little thinner
with out you riding my coat tails
I would trade it all again for a nice
stroll in your skin
just to cure what ails

The Age of Adz (pronounced odds) is Sufjan Stevens’ first full-length collection of original songs since 2005’s civic pop opus Illinois. This new album is probably his most unusual, first, for its lack of conceptual underpinnings, and second, for its preoccupation with Sufjan himself.

Sufjan Stevens, "I Walked"

Ronald Jenkees' "Magnetic Moment" from his newest album "Days Away". I have purchased this album and thereby have the right to upload it's songs for my own personal needs.
