    Can anyone correct these lyrics? I put brackets around what the parts
    that I find difficult to understand.

    Keep a Handle on It Storyville

    Waiting at the bus stop, hanging by a thread, listening to the beat
    box banging in my head
    Talking to my lover, about the bloody cuts, underneath the covers, she
    never wants to touch

    She's a bashful baby, with a smile on her face, all she wants is
    maintain a state of grace, I’ve got a secret burning in my mind, the pain that comes with me, my hands I choose to bind (I'll verify this lyric with him because I think that's incorrect)

    Chorus
    I know, anything goes when the full moon shines and the cold winds
    blows. I know, anything goes baby if I light a candle, I can’t keep
    a handle on it.

    Receiving transmissions, a private radio, [neighbor’s got a stick], but little does she know, I’m receiving all the baggage, nobody wants to
    claim, I bite the bullet, to swallow the shame.

    Chorus
    I know, anything goes when the full moon shines and the cold winds
    blows. I know, anything goes baby if I light a candle, I can’t keep
    a handle on it. I can’t keep a handle on it.

    Bridge
    Don’t make much sense, got no defense, it’s at your expense, I just
    need to vent.

    Solo

    Chorus
    I know, anything goes when the full moon shines and the cold winds
    blows. I know, anything goes baby if I light a candle, I can’t keep
    a handle on it.

    Chorus
    I know, anything goes when the full moon shines and the cold winds
    blows. I know, anything goes baby if I light a candle, I can’t keep
    a handle on it.

    I can’t keep a handle on it.
    I can’t keep a handle on it.
    I can’t keep a handle on it.

    Remember, his lyrics are therapeutic and autobiographical. He writes about his personal experience in all his songs. He lost all the lyrics to his songs when his computer crashed, but I'll ask him to verify these last few questionable lyrics when I see
    him later this afternoon. This has been fun! Thanks! Cheryl
