"Melissa" is an Allman Brothers Band song from 1972. A live IG
version appears on "Shades of Indigo."
Melissa.
Crossroads seem to come and go
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many, loving none
Bearing sorrow, having fun
But back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa.
Freight train, each car looks the same - all the same
No one knows the gypsy's name
No one hears his lonely sighs
There are no blankets where he lies
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies
With sweet Melissa.
Again the morning's come
Again he's on the run
Sunbeams shining through his hair
Appearing not to have a care
Pick up your gear, and, gypsy, roll on, roll on
Crossroads, will you ever let him go?
Will you hide the dead man's ghost?
Will he lie beneath the clay?
Will his spirit float away?
But I know that he won't stay
Without Melissa
Yes, I know that he won't stay
Melissa, I knew I just had to kiss ya
Heaven knows what I had in mind
When my eyes went blind
And you had to take me home
Because I could not find my way
Mimi, you make my glasses steamy
Heaven knows that I'll take a chance
On a girl from France
Just so long as we don't have to dance 'till dawn
Maybe baby I'm not so smart
But I know I'm not your brother
And the way you affect me
You needn't suspect me
Of falling in love with another
Daisy, your old man thinks I'm crazy
Heaven knows I used to go insane
When I heard your name
I knew what I was doin'
When I had my brain removed
Maybe baby I'm not so smart
I never claimed to be a thinker
But you gotta respect me
Cause the way you affect me
I'll never have to be a drinker
Bessie, my dreams of you are messy
Heaven knows I used to lie awake
And try to make my heart stop pounding
Long enough to take my rest
Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many, loving none,
Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
But back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa... mmm...
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
And no one knows the Gypsy's name
No one hears his lonely sigh,
There are no blankets where he lies.
In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies
with sweet Melissa... mmm...
Again the morning's come,
Again he's on the run,
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
Appearing not to have a care.
Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on.
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (Lord, Lord)
Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
or will his spirit roll away?
But I know that he won't stay without Melissa.

Will you hide the dead man's ghost
Or will he lie, beneath the clay
Or will his spirit float away?
But I know that he won't stay
Without Melissa
Yes, I know that he won't stay
Without Melissa
I'm kneeling in front of the altar
Satan's cross upon the wall
Strange emptiness, a crystal ball between two candles
Melissa has entered another life
Melissa, you were mine
Melissa, you were the light
She was a witch
Why did they take you away?
Melissa, you were the queen of the night
Melissa, you were my light
I swear revenge on the priest
The priest must die
He must die in the name of Hell
Melissa, can you hear me?
Melissa, are you there?
Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast

She had a light of some kind
that shined in her eyes
the way she would laugh
and capture your mind
she had a light of some kind
a prize to be won
a beauty so deep
it was an indescribable one
she had a light of some kind
hard shell and soft heart
and when she would love you
she would love every part
she had a light of some kind
a song in her walk
exciting to be with
and would listen when you talk
she had a light of some kind
to love in her way
that was so pure and special
it would lighten the day
she had a light of some kind
and that's what i remember
she's just like the sun

I feel myself changing
No regrets about this
I hate them all
I am them all
I want me to see
That's what I need
To be my own self
They come and go
But I stay
They leave scars
But do they hurt ?
I feel myself changing
Too much thinking about this
I want them all
I am them all
I want me to see
That's what I need
To be my own self
They come and go
But I stay
They leave scars
But do they hurt ?
[solo : P.G.]
I watched funeral service
being performed over me
I watched me dead
I watched me buried
But I felt myself standing on the cloud,
looking down
Oh, please help me narcotherapy.
I watched me lying still
In my beautiful coffin
I watched me dead
I watched me buried
But I felt myself standing on the cloud,
looking down
Where my black soul first kissed
the mouth of sin
Oh, please give me the password to darkness
Help me with your narcotherapy
(instrumental)
My story I write with a part of you
How come you managed to break my peace?
Once again
Why did you say the words
That broke my harmless hopes?
I meant no harm to you
I've got a knife in my back
Why can't we expect to not be hurt by you?
Now get stoned, set in sky, a lie
For always
For all our lives
I wish I could kill back, take back, stay back
What do you need to be to understand?
That urgent need, that constant need to kill -
- (that is the cure)
Can't heal myself
What is to come?
How come this comes upon me again?
(solo: Yuri Rusakov)
My story I write with a part of you
How come you managed to break my peace?
Once again
Why did you say the words
That broke my harmless hopes?
I meant no harm to you
For hundreds years
Church have been seen seeking
The absolute power
Over humble souls
Priests raped
In the Temples of God
You won't be grieved
For giving your own son
The bible asserts that murder is a sin
But Jesus preached -
" I didn't bring peace,
but a sword on the Earth "
Mad screams of burning inquisition fires
Thousand innocent victims
Christ promised you eternal life
I promise you eternal death
" I'm Lord and you're my slaves "
Slaves - obey your master even after death
" Let it be no gods besides me ! "
Fanatic christians destroy
beautiful statues of gods
Of ancient Greece and Rome
Murders in the name of God
Of their dark deeds accuse Satan
Nail newborn child to cross
In the name of God
Does blood ever spill
Of those who took the final race ?
Why do I say these words ?
These feelings are besides my own
Living, giving, striking
Dying to do our best
A dead will burned to misery
As infinity consumes the Mind
(solo: P.G.)
Drown...
Infernal blindness salutes with rotten lips
Possessive imagination
Retarded remains cremation
Fear falls to human forms
Down where feelings lie apart
One space following another
And I... Why did I hurt?
Burning...
Burning...
(solo: N.T.)
Does blood ever spill
Of those who took the final race ?
Why do I say these words ?
These feelings are besides my own
Living, giving, striking
Dying to do our best
A dead will burned to misery
As infinity consumes the Mind
[theme : N.T.]
Beyond the clouds
The dream of death comes close
Where my sorrow drowns
In the mourning sea
Bent I stand, lost in through
Glowing sunset in my eyes
Naked sky upon a hill
Crossing shadows in the twilight wood
I'm the victim to the morbid devil
Pain of mine is no more real
Though I walk through shadow valley of death
I will fear no evil
[theme : N.T.]
Beyond the clouds
The dream of death comes close
Where my sorrow drowns
In the mourning sea
[solo : P.G.]
Silence laceration
Epitaph of mine I've seen
Bloody rain upon a hill
It is mournful weeping Jesus tears
The Angel of Death who holdeth the bronze lamp
Beyond the golden door
Hath taken me into dark waters
He is the mourning angel of mine
I've been hurring to you
My last wish
My life
Sacrificing the dearest
Be dead
You one be used by all
Be dead, bye
In the name of life
Be dead
In my dreams pain goes by
I should kill, I should die
Move your legs, smash my face
Broken bones
I hate you
All 4-1
Be dead
You one be used by all
Be dead, bye
In the name of life
Be dead
In my dreams pain goes by
I should kill, I should die
Move your legs, smash my face
Broken bones
I hate you
I hate you, I HATE YOU
All 4-1
[instrumental]
[solo : P.G.]
[ theme : N.T.]
Consumed with hatred
I'm looking to the west
Where shadows are gathering
In their twilight dance
Dance of death, music of dark skies
To the west, where the Eye beckons me
[theme : N.T.]
Consumed with hatred
I'm looking to the west
As the bloody sun is setting
In the mountains
Sounds of death, music of dark skies
To the west, where the Eye beckons me
God, forgive my sick free spirit
For I... For I have cursed you in my heart
[solo : P.G.]
Consumed with hatred
I'm looking to the west
Where shadows are gathering
In their twilight dance
As the bloody sun is setting
In the mountains
Where the Eye beckoned me
Dark wind tousles my hair
Sorrow is spread in my soul
My fear is my fate
Smell of pain beyond the beautiful clouds
My bleeding eyes
Is your evil beauty
My dreams are hidden deep inside
In my mind
Your love is wrapped
In your evil beauty
Everlasting entire pain
Drowns me in the river of madness
This beauty
It haunts me
It's my death
It wants me
[solo : N.T.]
My bleeding eyes
Is your evil beauty
My dreams are hidden deep inside
In my mind
Your love is wrapped
In your evil beauty
Sunk in a brown study
I am lost in a forest of mourning
My bleeding eyes
Is your evil beauty
My dreams are hidden deep inside
In my mind
Your love is wrapped
In your evil beauty
[instrumental : performed by N.T.]
I see them down and fall
She came and broke the night
But I've forgotten, how...
Explode our love out here
As we brake the light
Somewhere the shades calm down
Where feelings spectrum dies
Sample the pointless fears
With our heads held high
The Darkness dwells like a Shadow on the wall
(solo: P.G.)
I see them down and fallâ¦
Hamburg - killercity
Bob Lancelot in pity
A heating distrophytting
That's why you lost your weight
Simple minds are eating
My password are not cheating
The words are not defeating
My gore-dom... is not there...
Or won't you fall in deep
Won't you feel indeed
Won't you see my eyes
Won't you hear my cries
Or won't you see it deep
Won't you feel indeed
Won't you hear my lies
Or don't ya ?
Or doncha feel the sky ?
Cold stars falling down
Dream of paradise
Falling on the inflamed
Skin of my eyes
Yet innocence is bleeding
Running with my blood
Harmony - can't reach it
And solitude - sweet love -
Or won't you fall in deep
Won't you feel indeed
Won't you see my eyes
Won't you hear my cries
Or won't you see it deep
Won't you feel indeed
Won't you hear my lies
Or don't ya ?
Or doncha feel the sky ?
(solo: Yuri Rusakov)
Or won't you fall in deep
Won't you feel indeed
Won't you see my eyes
Won't you hear my cries
Or won't you see it deep
Won't you feel indeed
Won't you hear my lies
Or don't ya ?
Or doncha feel the sky ?
I want...
I want me to see
I've shown her Moon in cases
A Man of one day runes
I saw her coming home from school
But only beer was on my mind
Hey chick, come on let's brake it
Let's fake it, I want this done
She said - âcome one, let's dance tonight!â
I said -
Come on let's sing The Song!
She wants it cheap and cracking -
How 'bout a song for free?
I've seen Jean coming dragging
Dragging pizza home
âI want to break Moon-Manâ - fine!
And brain-men start to puke
I would have brought some beer and chicks
And no more pizza on my mind
Heating in between
Getting in between
I want to see her brain!
Yeah, it's gotta be clean!
How 'bout her legs?
Oh look my here...
STOP!
Having just began to live
I got tired with my life
I have lost what I was
Looking for in this world
Tiredness and pain I feel
all the best of life I've seen
So I leave this world to be free
Reflections of strange drawings
Are flying inside of me
Pale reminiscences of mine after-death
Or long before my birth
[solo : P.G.]
I've been dead for millions years
My real Present is the past
Rebuced to bust a corpse I am
Yet I am not born
I'm alive - reflection is dead
Life illusion end
As the circle is closed, my life begins
Pain...
Feel the cold pride
Of indifference
No more pain...
[solo : P.G.]
When the wind blows away
The vanity of a sullen vague day
I feel in my dark soul
The reflection of the night
That takes me up high
Pain is so sweet...
As still water in dark fathoms
Rain filled the sky
Birds and clouds scattered in pools
Death is always right
You knew it but told me nothing
[solo : N.T.]
It broke my peace
Crying sky under my feet
Interfere with my ease
Your agony stays forever
In my heart
Walk barefoot on pools
Dreams of your caress
Flatter myself with hope
Everybody's talkin' on the telephone
Everybody's happy when he's coming home
Everybody needs somebody by his side
Everybody
everybody
everybody
everybody.
We all live together - so bad!
We all live together - so bad!
We all live together - so bad!
Ohyeah
ohyeah
ohyeah
ohyeah.
We all live together - so bad!
We all have to use our head.
We all live together- so bad! Oh yeah.
Everybody's drinkin'
smokin' cigarettes
Everybody hates to pay his yearly tax.
Everybody's living only for himself
Everybody
everybody
everybody
everybody.
We all live together - so bad! . ..
I've seen unlockable doors
I've felt invisible nods
And unchangeable gods
I've been in trouble for laws
I've heard unsingable birds
Did you feel just the same ?
This time
No shapeless dreams, no sleepless nights
This time
This is my world you can't deny
No more, do you hear me, feel me
I don't want you anymore
Feel me, Hate me, Love me, Rape me
I've never felt like this before
I've known reliable youth
I've seen believable truth
And unmistakable proof
I've never stood on my knees
I've never known a silent peace
Did you feel just the same ?
This time
No shapeless dreams, no sleepless nights
This time
This is my world you can't deny
No more, do you hear me, feel me
I don't want you anymore
Feel me, Hate me, Love me, Rape me
I've never felt like this before
(solo: P.G.)
This time
No shapeless dreams, no sleepless nights
This time
(theme: P.G.)
Suffocated with wind of my freedom
I regain my peace
My wounds do not bleed
Anymore
My thoughts do not hurt
Nevermore
My mind - opened, free
now free again
My memories cleaned
cleaned me and killed
The light now so clear
the sounds so pure
Now this is my
Innocent peace
(solo: P.G.)
I managed to make
a step away from myself
No stumbling again,
no falling in pain
Suffocated with wind of my freedom
I regain my peace
My wounds do not bleed
Anymore
My thoughts do not hurt
Nevermore
This is my innocent peace
One look in your eyes
I knew we two would always be together
And there are, 3 little words that say it all
I love you
Never believed in love at first sight
But I believe what I'm feeling tonight
'Cause when I saw you across the room
I felt my heart going boom, boom, boom
I looked, I fell so hard
boy I know you can tell that
I'm hooked, oh you, oh girl
You know I'm falling for you because
[CHORUS]:
One look in your eyes
I knew we two would alwayz be together
And there are, 3 little words that say it all
I love you
boy I realize
That I wanna be with you forever
So say those 3 little words I wanna hear
I love you
I was waitin' for a sign from you
Hoping you'd feel the same way, too
When you looked at me and smiled
My heart was goin' a thousand miles
I stopped, turned around, I tried
To keep my feet on the ground
As I stepped to you, we touched
I knew you were feelin' it too because
One look in your eyes
I knew we two would alwayz be together
And there are, 3 little words that say it all
I love you
boy I realize
That I wanna be with you forever
So say those 3 little words I wanna hear
I love you
I know it's written all over my face
And boy you can believe it's true
'Cause time could never erase
These feelings I have for you
One look in your eyes
I knew we two would alwayz be together
And there are, 3 little words that say it all
I love you
boy I realize
That I wanna be with you forever
So say those 3 little words I wanna hear

I left a negative impression
On the source of my depression
She wont bother me when we're apart
She's as soft as cotton
I've already forgotten
About the sunburns on my heart
As vicious as she can be
She never did get to me
Even tho she'll never admit it
A walking lie detector
I swore I'd protect her
I hate my life and everyone in it
I love the way that you hate me
After the shit she put me through
Everything I will ever do
I'll feel like I'm seven feet tall
My motives I can't defend
I dont need her as a friend
In fact I dont need her at all
She's as evil as 10 witches
Take all her poison wishes
And put them behind today
She never wonders why I hate
Excitedly I can't wait
To say fuck you and turn away
I love the way that you hate me
Te fiz um rock, Melissa.
Pode crer que é sobre amor.
Mas eu não sou publicitário,
e a minha vó é de Bagé.
Eu te escrevi uma carta,
cheia de frases de impacto.
E se precisar alguma coisa,
é só pedir que eu faço.
Se tu quiser que eu te leve, eu aprendo a dirigir!
Se tu quiser que eu te leve, eu aprendo a dirigir!
Te fiz um mambo, Melissa.
Sobre cegos na Polônia.
E é sobre teu umbigo furado,
teus olhinhos puxados.
É sobre a tua pele branquinha,
pronta pra ficar morena.
Se não tiver como ir pra praia,
não precisa nem estalar os dedos.
Se tu quiser que eu te leve, eu aprendo a dirigir!
Se tu quiser que eu te leve, eu aprendo a dirigir!
Melissa!
