Guns N' Roses - Locomotive (Complicity) lyrics

Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah, I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend
And our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again?
I opened up the doors when
It was cold outside
Hoping that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you
Or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give?

Yeah, I bought me an illusion and
I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams
And I had to have them all but, oh
The taste is never so sweet as
What you'd believe it is
Well, I guess it never is
It's these prejudiced illusions
That pump the blood to the heart of the biz



You know
I never thought that it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me
But I feel as though you raped me
'Cause you climbed inside my world
And in my song so now I've closed the door
To keep the cold outside
Seems, somehow, I've found the will to live
But how can I forget you
Or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes
Time to forgive? yeah, yeah

Sweetness is a virtue and you
Lost your virtue long ago
You know I'd like to hurt you but
My conscience always tells me "No"
You could sell your body on the street
To anyone whom you might meet
Who'd love to try and get inside
And bust your innocence open wide

'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
My baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive
Got to peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no

Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour 'cause
This road ain't getting clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
"Better tame that boy, 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy 'fore he's a man"
Sweetheart, don't make me laugh
You's getting too big for your pants
And I think maybe you should
Cut out while you can

You can use your illusion
Let it take you where it may
We live and learn, and then, sometimes
It's best to walk away
Me, I'm just here hanging on
It's my only place to stay
At least for now, anyway
I've worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away

I'm taking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that's passed away
I know it's never easy
So why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say?
Callin' off the dogs, a simple choice is made
'Cause playful hearts can
Sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you
I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page?

Kindness is a treasure and
It's one, towards me, you've seldom shown
So, I'll say it, for good measure
To all the ones like you, i've known
Ya know I'd like to shave your head and
All my friends could paint it red
'Cause love to me is a two-way street
An' all I really want is peace

But my baby's got a locomotive
My baby's gone off the track
My baby got a locomotive
Got to peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no

Affection is a blessing
Can you find it in your sordid heart?
I tried to keep this thing together but
The tremor tore my pad apart yeah, I know
It's hard to face when all we've
Worked for's gone to waste
But you're such a stupid woman and
I'm such a stupid man
But love, like time, 's got it's own plans

But my baby's got a locomotive
My baby's gone off the track
My baby got a locomotive
Got to peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no
Yeah, if love is blind
I guess I'll buy myself a cane

Love's so strange love's so strange
Love's so strange love's so strange
Love's so strange love's so strange
Love's so strange love's so strange
Love's so strange love's so strange
Love's so strange
