Cold winter killed my soul
A spring time fuck was gold
For this my life I sold
For flesh and breath and bone
Got nobody to hold
Got no beauty in this place
Got no water in my cage
I wash myself in shame
Piss on my good name
In a scarlet candle flame
A dog on a rusted chain
I come for a lifetime stain
Got no beauty in this place
Got no water in my cage
Got pale moon to light my way
Got no beauty in this place
Got no water in my cage
Got pale moon to light my way
Got no water in my cage
No water in my cage
No water in my cage
Mother, why are you cryin'
Only wanna hold you
Never gonna scold you no
Father, I need someone older
To put it all together
When you think the world will never mend
Someday
I won't be running
From the sun and the moon
Someday
And that day is coming
Someday soon
In my life, will I be heard
I'm just a little boy in the universe
Once or twice
I served
But I never got what I deserved
Someday
I won't be running from the sun and the moon
Someday
And that day is coming
Someday soon
So hard to tell ya
So hard to figure out
So hard to find these words
In my mind
Someday
I won't be running from the sun and the moon
Someday
And that day is coming soon
Someday soon
Someday soon
When you gonna grow up
Momma always said
Are you gonna walk around with a silly grin
And a bubble on your head
A spaceship landed by the mall
There was a big parade, everybody got laid
And they burned all the books and the Chevrolets
They grow so fast they never crawl
If you get tired of satellite flyers
And fame has let you down
Under the wire and over the moon
I'm around
When you gonna grow up
Momma always said
But I just wanna walk around with a dollar bill
And a coat that never sheds
A spaceship landed on the water
It was a holiday for the underpaid
Everybody got a haircut and lemonade
And they smiled just like it was their father
Play me a groove one for my radio one
For my love that came and went
So many stories, hey man, I'm sorry
Joe, this is just a song to pay the rent
I wanna choke
I wanna lay down
It's harder to cope
With you not here now
The shadow needs a sun
A dreamer needs a first star
I know it's just begun
To feel so bad
For so long
It's all I've had
Since you've been gone
If you don't come back home
It's gonna be so bad
For so long
Out on the road
I am a wheel now
You are the spoke
And out love goes round
A shadow needs a sun
A dreamer needs a first star
I know it's just begun
To feel so bad
For so long
It's all I've had
Since you've been gone
And if you don't come back home
It's gonna be so bad
For so long
So bad
So long
All I've had
Since you been gone
Gonna be so bad
So long
It's all I've had
Since you been gone
If you don't come back home
Gonna be so bad
So Long
It's all I've had
Since you've been gone
So bad
So long
It's all I've had
So bad
So long
It's all I've had
I was born at the end of time
In the beginning
Up on command post number nine
They gave me the living
With my love in place
They sent me on
Programmed to remain
Of another mother robot's son
With my love I feel no pain
Shine on love
Shine on
Up to the heaven
Silver, blue, and red horizon
Shine on love
Shine on
Up to the heaven
I came down in a silver dream
Just to be given
The memory of your love for me
In this empty place
My circuit's done
Just the cold remains
Of another mother robot's son
With your love I feel no pain
Shine on love
Shine on
Up to the heaven
Up to the heaven yeah
My soul was only in disguise
Yeah
Underneath my robot eyes
Yeah
Now I know my love will shine
Yeah, yeah
Up to the heaven yeah
My soul was only in disguise
Yeah
Underneath my robot eyes
Yeah
Now I know my love will shine
I am a cutting tool, I am a killing fool
And one day you, you're gonna be mine
I am a dirt machine and I will wipe clean
This jungle vine
I am a burning ash, I am burning for cash
And one day you, you're gonna be mine
I am a dirt machine and I will wipe clean
This jungle vine I'll rip her from the sky
There'll be no more timber line
We are turning green into gold
We are ripping roots from the soil
I am the wall of pain and I will damn the rain
And one day you, you're gonna be mine
I am a dirt machine and I will wipe clean
Sonny took a train
Mary took a boat
Somewhere it's gonna be better
Everybody needs a little hope
Ten thousand souls
Waiting on a bus and it never rolled
So it goes...
No one's leaving California
Pacific transit overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
I am The American
I got a walking stick
And an old sock hat
I've got dirty hands
And I've got a dream to match
I've got a pocket full
Of government issue cures for poverty
No one's leaving California
Pacific transit overload
All my friends live on the corner
And my guitar strums
I am The American
Under the streetlight, down by the water
Don't worry baby, it's nothing you ever knew
(If it) Makes you feel better, throw down a quarter
Don't worry baby, it won't stick to your shoes
No one's leaving California
Pacific transit overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
Yeah my guitar strums
I am The American
Cold winter killed my soul
A spring time fuck was gold
For this my life I sold
For flesh and breath and bone
Got nobody to hold
Got no beauty in this place
Got no water in my cage
I wash myself in shame
I piss on my good name
In a scarlet candle flame
A dog on a rusted chain
I come for a lifetime stain, yeah
Got no beauty in this place
Got no water in my cage
Got pale moon to light my way
Got no beauty in this place
Got no water in my cage
Got pale moon to light my way
Got no water in my cage
No water in my cage
She would love to be free
From the lonesomeness
It's so easy to be
The girl nobody gets
Hard woman to love
But I know she ain't so tough
A hard woman to love
Like a little girl when we touch
She walks out in the rain
So you won't forget
She's got room to complain
Now that she's soaking wet
Hard woman to love
But I know she ain't so tough
A hard woman to love
Like a little girl when we touch
Bring her flowers, candy canes
Love her for hours
Just don't let the screen go slam
On your way out
Hard woman to love
But I know she ain't so tough
A hard woman to love
Hey, wouldn't you wanna know
Everywhere that river flows to right now
I can show you how
'Cause someday you might wanna go
Someday you got nothing to show
For all your pain, for all your chains
I ain't saying it's the only way
But wouldn't you like to know
How if feels to live like a free man
To give when there's nothing in your hand
Run like only the river can
Like a free man
You've only so many roads to choose
Sooner or later the ones you use
They all look the same
Someday you might feel the need
Someday when you're tired of bleeding for someone else
You're gonna want it for yourself
I ain't saying it's the only way
Well, the ocean is a monster
And the waves are a killer, yeah
Swallowed my baby whole
Now her tombstone is a coral reef
Under shifting sand my love is buried deep
But never as deep as the beauty in her soul
God damn thing swallowed my baby whole
I used to smoke, mother nature
Now tell me who is burning who, yeah
It's here my love was lost
In sunlit wonder she was tossed
All for black sea teeth to chew
I used to smoke, mother nature
Now tell me who is burning who, yeah, oh
I'm gonna build a boat
A wooden tomb to float
Just long enough, I'm gonna sink it
Why am I so pitiful?
It's hard to erase what never was
I know compared to most
Our fortune is made of blessing and love
Whatever we become, whether together or undone
You are life and I am overloaded
I am free it seems
So I sing this song for you, for you
You were born on Natures time
Now we are born to pay the rent
And though I've a thousand dreams for you
I maybe don't have enough love to make a dent
Whatever we become, whether together or undone
You are life and I am overloaded
I am free they will say
So I sing this song for you, yeah, sing a song
Whatever we become, whether together or undone
You are life and I am overloaded
I am free they will say
Dance with your feet so light
Watch her toes God bless her might
Carved in a bloody show
Welcome to the world unknown
?Pleased to meet you my name is Angie
Can I shake your hand??
Coming through you nature commands me
And woman carries all of man, give it all you can
Tamed by a cruel white light
Screaming blue going pink tonight
One more beginning told
Welcome to the world unknown
?Pleased to meet you my name is Angie
Can I shake your hand??
Yeah, coming through you nature commands me
And woman carries all of man
Welcome to the world unknown
Yeah, the world unknown
Dance with your feet so light
Watch her toes God bless her might
I saw it was carved in a bloody show
Come from Ohio
Married the first girl again
Somewhere in Reno
In his El Camino, he never did see her again
No world can look
Like it did before
But this one comes pretty close
To the swinging door
One time's a shame
Two times and you're to blame
And you lose your precious crown
Third time around
This ain't no freeway
You pay for it someday, I guess
Came from Ohio
Another day, another stay
On your map of regret
No world can look
Like it did before
But this one comes pretty close
To the swinging door
One time's a shame
Two times and you're to blame
And you lose your precious crown
Third time around
And you get no sleep
And you are overdue
And the faithful creep when they're leaving you
And you wonder why, why?
One time's a shame
Two times and you're to blame
And you lose your precious crown
Third time around
One time's a shame
Two times and it looks like rain
And they say your luck is found
Third time around
Third time around, third time around
Third time around, third time around
Sonny took a train, Mary took a boat
Somewhere it's gonna be better
Everybody needs a little hope
Ten thousand souls waiting on a bus and it never rolled
So it goes
No one's leaving California, Pacific transit overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
I am the American
I got a walking stick and an old sock hat
I've got dirty hands and I've got a dream to match
I've got a pocket full
Of government issue cures for poverty

If it makes you feel better, throw down a quarter
Don't worry baby, it won't stick to your shoe
No one's leaving California, Pacific transit overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums, yeah, my guitar strums
Eating time and leaving crumbs
Spilling wine like water runs
Blue sky in my window
Pull the shade down
I am just a little boy
Thirty years still breaking toys
Got no time for peace
Killing the dove
No time for anything
Not even God above
10, 9, 8, 7 all good boys go to heaven
6, 5, 4, 3 listen to the clock ticking
This is too much for one
Got no time to come undone
Sunshine in the pourin' rain
Welcome to my twisted fate
Whiskey in my hand
No woman in my arms
I am just a little boy
Thirty years still breaking toys
Got no time for peace
Killing the dove
No time for anything
Not even God above
10, 9, 8, 7 all good boys go to heaven
6, 5, 4, 3 listen to the clock ticking
This is too much for one
Got no time to come undone
Got no time for peace and
Killing the dove
No time for anything
Not even God above
10, 9, 8, 7 all good boys go to heaven
6, 5, 4, 3 listen to the clock ticking
This is too much for one
Sometimes I wonder where you are
Sometimes I wonder how you stand the dark
There is a time for every seed
Once there were two, now there are three
Wrestle your heart pinned to the ground
Is there enough love to go 'round
I wrote this song for the bounty of life
Don't second guess what nature has in mind
Sometimes I wonder who you are
Sometimes I wonder and I just say, yeah
There is a time for every seed
Don't confuse what you want with what will be
Wrestle your heart pinned to the floor
Is there enough love, do you want more?
Say my prayers, I shaved my head
I was looking for reasons to drag my ass out of bed
Selfish world, selfish me
But the politics of this girl will never set us free
I wrote this song for the bounty of life
Don't second guess what nature has in mind
I am a song, I been here all along
I'll be here when the hatred's gone
Hey, can you recognize me
I am the light of the Sun
And if you come with me
And if you let it be
(On my way back home)
And sing my melody
Then it don't have to wash away
In a Memphis City Rain
For the world a long time awaiting
For the hatred now to be fading
For the love to give
I am a song but I'm not the one
They use to march their guns
And every child knows me
I had a lot of money
I was not free
I had a lot of honey
From all of the honey bees
All I ever wanted
Not what I need
I had everything
It was my disease
Love, take my eyes, they don't see Love, someday I shall be free
We need a little lovin'
We need a remedy
The doctor's coming
He say it's too late to hate so let it be
Then you'll find heaven is at your feet
I had everything
It was my disease
Love, take my eyes, they don't see
Love, someday I shall be free
No more love unspoken (free)
No more circle broken
Love
Love, take my eyes, they don't see
Love, someday I shall be free (Love)
Someday I shall be free (Love)
Love
Ride my wave
Don't complicate me
I am the fortune of your fathers
I am nothing more than what you make me
A killer in the act
A mother's water breaking
An old man looking back
We all have glory waking
Ride my wave
I am solar space
I am the unborn in the clouds
I am whoever, now can you paint my face?
A killer in the act
A mother's water breaking
We all have needle tracks
We all have glory waking, yeah
I'm falling over you
And love's the only measure
I'm falling over you
I saw a wreck at a light
Two cars that gave up the fight
Nobody left to be saved
No steam left under the gauge
And in that carnival light
The show began to unwind
And I saw just how it goes
Out on that old two-lane road
I been saving time for another life
Maybe happiness is coming
But you don't know when
When
The gravity of whether you were meant for me
Came crashing down with sovereignty
In someone else's tragedy
I saw the old man again
He only talks about when
There was so much to believe
Before the cancer to be
He can't remember the song
The words they all come out wrong
And all his records are cracked
He knows you can't get it back
It's only faded time
Maybe happiness is coming
But you don't know when
When
The gravity of whether you were meant for me
Came crashing like a symphony
In someone else's used to be
And we carried our cross like a clover
And we smoked cigarettes and we lied
About the things we would feel when we're older
Oh God, what a fine waste of time?
She's gonna be dancing soon
Stepping out of her winter into june
Lying in fields as green as the life she once knew
Spirit please lead your child home
Bring to her eyes the God she has grown
Spirit please lead you child home
She came to america in 1921
And in this new world she had my mom
One hundred years and now she believes that her time has come
Spirit please lead your child home
Bring to her eyes the God she has grown
Spirit please lead your child home
Daddy brings the bread, mother brings the milk
Baby is beginning, grandmother is ill
Everything I own doesn't matter anyway
All the falling leaves, they make no sound
They sweep them off the street
Life goes on, the love you've found
You're beautiful to me
We can't afford the rent, let's go on vacation
All the money's spent but life is an invention
Maybe we are rich 'cause we have each other
All the falling leaves, they make no sound
They sweep them off the street
Life goes on, the love you've found
You're beautiful to me
Can you hear the bell ringing in the church
Somebody got married, somebody returned
I see all the falling leaves they make no sound
All the falling leaves make no sound
You sweep them off the street
Life goes on, the love you've found
You're beautiful to me
All these falling leaves keep falling
All these falling leaves keep falling
All these falling leaves keep falling
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you when we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Cos people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Cos people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
you are the sun and i'm the rain
everything was beautiful
i am the whisky autumn day
champagne was beautiful
we are hard to handle now
shouldn't seem unusual
still i really don't know how
sun and rain are beautiful
it's all a mystery
you can see what you want to see
it's a fine line between it all
but that's alright, it used to be beautiful
(chorus)
i don't remember the last word spoken
i don't remember anyone's arms open
i remember your face
i remember that place
broken
i hold a white dove in my hand
still you're not embracable
i guess you know we could be friends
if our past were erasable
it's all a mystery
there's a time for everything
and the reason why the white dove flies
and even though she still looks beautiful
(chorus)
i don't remember the last word spoken
i don't remember anyone's arms open
i remember your face
i remember that place
broken
last night on the radio
they played a song to you and me
someone had a broken heart
and someone could not let it be
i don't call you sweetheart
but there's still a time for everything
(chorus)
i don't remember the last word spoken
i don't remember anyone's arms open
i remember your face
i remember that place
Tangled tempest, gray and green
Limbs dripping over my path, all I see is highway
No TV, no dirty city street, no telephone ringing
All hours of the night for me
See now I'm free, I am born in the sun
I'm free and my life's just begun
Yeah, my life's just begun
I was a bird, I was flying over stripped earth
I was desperate to land, I was desperate to perch, that's how I feel
Seldom we find the peace we deserve
Desperate to love, needing rebirth, that's how I feel
And now you see, you see I'm free, I am born in the sun
I'm free and my life's just begun
I'm free, colors bleed into one
I am free, Caroline here I come
Only Virginia so very kind
All of her anyway that you desire
Only Virginia so crucified
And all of her dying keeps her alive
And swell
Made up for everyone else
Happy and horribly well
The girl with her soul on a shelf
Only Virginia knows how to bleed
All of her giving never comes free
Only Virginia so desperately
Wanting the whole world watching her misery
Swell
Made up for everyone else
Happy and horribly well
Hello misunderstood so go the lonely
Tracing your ashes to wood
She only dreams in black and white
She just can't seem to turn the colors on
Even if everything's all right
She pretends like she doesn't know
And I pretend like it doesn't show
Come on, come on, sweet, sweet Loretta
Come on, come on, times could not be better, you know
Sweet Loretta's tired of me, I don't know why
Sweet Loretta complains about the weight of the sky
No, no, oh no
All the love you never knew
Standing right in front of you
Sweet Loretta I wanna know you better
If we could start it all over again
You could smile like we were something new
You could rely on a love that comes to you
Come on, come on, sweet, sweet Loretta
Come on, come on, times could not be better, you know
Sweet Loretta's tired of me, I don't know why
Sweet Loretta complains about the weight of the sky
No, no, oh no
All the love you never knew
Standing right in front of you
Sweet Loretta I wanna know you better
All the love you never knew
Standing right in front of you
Sweet Loretta, yeah
Come on, come on, sweet, sweet Loretta
How does it feel to be alone
How does it feel to be stoned
Always high on your fable
You got no love in your bones
Going up on a suicide ride
Two lost diamonds in the sky
My love used to be alive
Going up on a suicide run
Everybody's gonna get 'em one
A hundred virgins in the sun
How does it feel cold hearted
(so cold hearted)
How does it to be numb
(so cold hearted)
How did it feel when it started
(so cold hearted)
And the end had begun
Going up on a suicide run
Everybody's gonna get 'em one
A hundred virgins in the sun
Going up on a suicide ride
Two lost diamonds in the sky
My love used to be alive
My love used to be alive
Take a piece of the sky
Make it rain cherry wine
Give her love, give her life
Give her mine
She's a child, young and willing
In a world that's unforgiving
That in time
Take all the living from your soul, no no no
I stand in the night with a silver sword
Killing her demons beating them off her door
Oh no
Sleep little baby don't you cry
'Cause daddy's got a worn out lullaby
And I'd live forever dark and damned
If I could see you spend one minute girl, in wonderland
She can run, free forever
Still our blood runs us together
And I'll be there if she runs home
For worse or better, babe no
I know you like Adam knew Eve
Every tear you cry is a tear that I will bleed
Oh, and I will bleed
Sleep little baby, don't you cry
Daddy's got a worn out lullaby
And I'd live forever dark and damned
If I could see you spend one minute girl, in wonderland
And I'd live forever dark and damned
If I could see you spend one minute, in wonderland
And I say, ooh ooh
She love everyone she meets
She's the best that I have ever found
Gives a dollar to the man on the Street
Yeah, She knows what it's like to
Be down
When she comes around
She's alright by me
She's alright by me
The only time I'm free
Like a flower in the rain
Sunshine breaking on a winter's day
She's alright by me
The only time I'm free is when she's right here
Next to me
might find her where the children meet
You might find her in a poor man's town
New York City down to New Orleans
California and the world around
Everybody needs her sound
She's alright by me
She's alright by me
The only time I'm free
Like a flower in the rain
Sunshine breaking on a winter's day
She's alright by me
The only time I'm free is when she's right here next to me
She's my changing weather
My Sunday morning together
I think I need her forever
She's alright by me
She's alright by me
The only time I'm free
Like a flower in the rain
Sunshine breaking on a winter's day
She's alright by me
She packed my bags last night, preflight
Zero hour, nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then
I miss the earth so much
I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no...
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up there alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no...
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up there alone
Mars ain't the kind of place
To raise your kids
In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them
If you did
And all this science
I don't understand
It's just my job
Five days a week
A Rocket Man
Rocket Man
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no...
Imma rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up there alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no...
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up there alone
Maybe I'm a baby with a mouth to feed
Maybe I'm a cancer waiting to eat
Maybe I'm a razor on a wrist to bleed
Maybe only water or a bucket of kerosene
It's alright
We are landing this ship soon
It's alright
No more trips around the moon
Momma does the dishes in her wedding ring
Daddy never wishes now for anything
Sister on the corner like a boy's wet dream
She got it all, the boys they would crawl
Away from her door then they come back again
But don't let 'em in, smoking their gin
Leaving their best foot out in the cold
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush, I'm on your side
It's just the two of us, you know that I
You know I'll never say goodbye
She smiles for me, it don't mean a thing
It don't take away the way it was before
I'm foolish and grown, I should've known
Her's was a world made for just one throne
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush, I'm on your side
It's just the two of us, you know that I
How many days can you waste it, boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love we come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush, I'm on your side
It's just the two of us though they might try
There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush, I'm on your side
It's just the two of us, you know that I
Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the building scrape the sky
Cold wind ripping down the allay at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you might come around
Blind man running through the light of the night
With the answer in his hand
Come on down to the river of sight
You will really understand
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane
If you're walking home all alone
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
You find someone who's turning
And you might come around
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
You find someone who's turning
If I had just one tear runnin' down your cheek,
maybe I could cope, maybe
I'd get some sleep.
If I had just one moment at your expense,
maybe all my misery,
It would be well spent. Yeah....
Chorus:
Could you cry a little? Lie just a little?
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain.
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return.
So cry just a little for me.
If your love could be caged, honey,
I would hold the key,
And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you handed me.
And you'd hunt in those lies.
They'd be all you'd ever find.
That'd be all you'll have to know for me to be fine. Yeah...
Chorus:
And you'd cry a little, die just a little.
And maybe I'll feel just a little less pain.
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return.
So cry just a little for me.
Give it up baby....whimper would be fine.
Some kind of clue that you're doing time.
Some kind of heartache, honey, give it a try.. I don't want pity
I just want what is mine. Yeah.
Could you cry a little? Lie just a little?
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain.
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return.
So cry just a little for me
yeah....could you cry a little for me?
When you're young, they take your hand
Say you're from the greatest land
Right or wrong, they teach you the song
Of your people
And in your dreams, they shape your mind
Until it seems, you're one of their kind
And on your tongue, they write the song
Of your people
Mother tell me, is there love on my tongue?
Mother tell me 'cause I'm the revolution
Mother tell me, are there wars to be won?
Can you tell me?
Am I a child of the son?
The only one who rules the world
Is every little boy or girl
Child you're the revolution
I wanna bury your flags and all your religions
It's a fuckin' drag to hear all your bitchin'
When I was young, standin' in the kitchen
With all the hatred on the television
Mother tell me, is there love on my tongue?
Mother tell me 'cause I'm the revolution
Mother tell me, are there wars to be won?
Can you tell me?
Am I a child of the son?
The only one who rules the world
Is every little boy or girl
Child you're the revolution
Child, you're the revolution
Child, you're the revolution
Child, you're the revolution
I say child, you're the revolution
Mother tell me, is there love on my tongue?
Mother tell me 'cause I'm the revolution
Mother tell me, is there love on my tongue?
Mother tell me 'cause I'm the revolution
Am I a child of the son?
Mother tell me, are there wars to be won?
Can you tell me?
Am I a child of the son?
The only one who rules the world
Is every little boy or girl
Child you're the revolution
Child, you're the revolution
Child, you're the revolution
Suzie burned for the admiration
And the cocaine urn Social Confirmation on the water bed
Staring at the ceiling while her halo bled
Kissing all the reason goodbye
My, you look beautiful, it's a crime to be usual
Small Town Creep puts her on a table
With the fizz gin drink
Staring at her navel, all the walls are pink
Baby's in the cradle, rocking one two three
No street time, pimp wine, hotel trash
No ballerina dancing on the broken glass
Who's gonna be the one when the day is through?
You're nobody's daughter when it's time to choose
She's on her way down to Sarasota
With the cash, she laid underneath the motor
It's a sunny day, pleased to meet you mister
I'm a brand new face, love is just a blister away
It's big business I'm gonna own a funeral home
'Cause half this town's gonna kick off any day
I'm tired of hanging at the Super 10
My parents don't like any of my friends
I'm 18 and I am out of here
It's big business I think I'll learn to play the guitar
I'll make a record make a million dollars
And make love to any girl I want
But right now I'm living out of my truck
And leaving home don't feel so glorious
I'm 21 and I don't know where I'm from
Confused American teenage tale
Mental aggravation
I got social overload information
Funny how what you thought was straight
Turns in a circle path
'Cos now I'm teaching my children
Talking like my Dad
I know one day they'll be breaking free
Hating what they think they know about me
But that's 18 and that's alright
Record cracked under the DJ's thumb
He's got no joy now that the beat is done
Had all I could take from your dirty mouth
Your tube top's tangled and you're hanging out
I got static in stereo on my TV
I'm living in the shadow of a factory
I never really know why I ever stayed
It's too late to think about it anyway
It's one more day, no souvenir,
Just me and the ghost
Of a dreamer here
I've got one chance hanging in the atmosphere,
And now,
No one ever knows
(No one knows, no one knows...)
Coming on my radio waves
(Come to me, I'm a... come to me, I'm alone...)
Calling, calling everyday
(Come to me, I'm a... come to me, I'm alone...)
And if I ever make it,
And if I ever make it,
Conversation lead me home
(Come to me, I'm... come to me, I'm alone...)
I was the king on a camel with a broken back
This boardwalk carousel is rusted flat
I'm bringing flowers growing up through the sidewalk crack
But just junkie ex-boyfriend is such a drag
I got static in stereo on my TV
Reminds me of the way you talk to me
I never really know why I ever stayed
But a dog don't think about the price he pays
And it's one more day, no souvenir,
Just me and the ghost
I'm a dreamer here
I've got one chance hanging in the atmosphere,
And no one ever knows
(No one knows, no one knows...)
Coming on my radio waves
(Come to me, I'm a... come to me, I'm alone....)
Calling, calling everyday
(Come to me, I'm a... come to me, I'm alone...)
And if I ever make it,
And if I ever make it,
Conversation lead me home
(Come to me, I'm a... come to me, I'm a..)
(I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely)
(Come to me, I'm alone)
And if I ever make it,
And if I ever make it,
Conversation lead me home
She got it all
the boys they would crawl
Away from her door then they come back again
But don't let 'em in
Smoking their gin
Leaving their best foot out in the cold
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush
I'm on your side
It's just the two of us
You know that I
You know I'll never say goodbye
She smiles for me
It don't mean a thing
It don't take away the way it was before
I'm foolish and grown
I should've known
Her's was a world made for just one throne
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy
How many days can you waste on it boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush
I'm on your side
It's just the two of us
