i saw your new boyfriend
coming out of your apartment
his hair was not combed
like he'd just woken up
i can't imagine that you're happy
i don't even think of you anymore
i don't have time with my new job
your boyfriend doesn't have a job, does he?
i didn't think so
i can't imagine that you're happy
nothing against him, i'm sure he's a great guy
remember when you used to suck on my filthy fingers?
you were holding his hand
like he'd fall if you weren't
you picked out his clothes didn't you?
you're so concerned
you want a singer baby, a singer songwriter maybe
someday i'll be both of these
'till then i'll dance for you dear, i'll be your happy
new year
and you'll be my sweet eloise
sweet eloise, sweet eloise
please let's not be enemies
sweet eloise, sweet eloise
will you be my sweet eloise?
i have been trying my dear, do i have to cut off my ear?
what will it take 'til she sees?
can i have a sip of your drink? can i double click on
your link?
will you be my sweet eloise?
i'll be your knight in armor, i'll be your organic farmer
it's getting warmer by degrees
you will not be deleted, i hear your name repeated
my lips on your lips & your lips on mine
like the shoreline of the ocean & a falling hairline
like an old couple at it again
when the innocence ended we dove right in
lazy susan & i throwing pearls before swine
(the swine got the pearls & they took as a good sign)
well the riff-raff had the last laugh in the early a.m. chill
ghetto youths training pit bulls to kill
& people in church straining to sit still
while we pass'd around the holy H2O
like a choking victim in the back catalog
just a taste of the hair of the atomic dog
cracking up in the a.m. with the rising sun
& the midwest farmer's daughters
so crack the black whip under the tightrope walker
give the pink slip to the rock n'roll rocker
cracking up in the evening on the front lawn
The death of song has finally arrived
I just read about it
It was long overdue
There's no doubt about that
They've finally put an end to all this nonsense
Let it rest in peace
It had a few good moments
Now we've got a new lease
Thank god for the death of song
So long to a pain in the ear
No more of the same old thing
No more a song you will hear
It's an art form that's had its day
It's way past its prime
Put it out to pasture
The magazine says it's about time
I love you baby, i love you
Oh baby you've done me wrong
I feel this way or that way or whatever
Thank god for the death of song
Thank god for the death of song
I just read about its demise
The goodbye was dark & rainy
Do you think you could make some room
In your schedule?
Do you think you could make some extra space
In you bed?
Oh, Is there another pillow in your bed
Or would you rather I was dead?
All I need is just one chance
And we could make a sweet romance
Do you think you could find it in your heart
To let me drive your car?
Do you think I could have a taste
of your apple? (yip!)
Do you think we could go for lunch
sometime?
I'm not begging I'm just pleading if you will
Oh, Darling I'm feeling ill
If I seem to be sincere
Would you consider coming here
Do you think you could find it in your heart
To let me drive your car?
Oh, do you think you could find it in your heart
You Say You're Lonesome In The City
That's No Crime
You Say They've Taken All Your Clothing
It's No Sin
You Say That I Look Bored
You Didn't Know I Was Sleeping
I Saw That Look On Your Complexion
It's Not Good
You Say They Gave You Bad Directions
You Knew They Would
You Say That I Just Laid There
Under the Indiana sun it came undone
In the Oklahoma moon it came too soon
The leaves may be falling and the cold wind may come
My love is calling under the Indiana sun
Card tricks & sleight of hand she played in the hall
She gambled a grand in spite of it all
She left in a hurry holding a handgun
She left me standing under the Indiana sun
Thanks for the good times she wrote me in her letter
And all the bad times in between
I know I'll never be able to forget her
And the classic shower curtain scene
So I split for the coast with the shirt on my back
I made a clean break i made a small crack
History will tell us in the long run
from dust unto dust & to dust you'll return
i was in the limelight, now it's your turn
the time is now, it's yours to burn
i had my bonfire, now it's your turn
you see a faint glimmer, it's not easy to discern
but the lamp shines the brightest when it's your turn
the know-it-all in his easy chair asks when will you
learn?
but what he doesn't know it that it's your turn
to every thing there is a season
and every rhyme, a reason
there is no free ride they say, it's something you've got
to earn
but it's yours for the asking 'cause it's your turn
looking at the photographs my heart begins to yearn
but you're making history now 'cause it's your turn
the meeting is ended, it's time to adjourn
but your meeting is just beginning, it's your turn
look at the rushing water, see it swirl & churn
I'm about to embark on a long voyage
The airlines will be handling all my luggage
You need exact change to cross the toll bridge
& i wonder if i should take along a sandwich
How do you say "i love you" in your language?
Something got lost in the translation
There must have been a mispronounciation
I think i might take out the garbage
It's time that i got rid of all my baggage
How do you say "i love you" in your language?
Does it mean the same in yours as it does in mine?
I don't think it's cutting it in mine
I wanna make sure that i pronounce it right
I wanna make sure that i don't miss this flight
This recalls an old familiar adage
That goes together like a horse and carriage
I wonder if you could take down this message
Because i'm about to embark on a long voyage
Another day passes while the moon inches across the sky
And the sky in question is casting shadows on the rush hour crowd
Jackhammers plunge into the sidewalk
And English is spoken here
Snow flurries land on my eyelashes
And a baby is being delivered in the delivery room
The doctor's wife is having an affair (in her mind)
December is half over and June will be here before we know it
Last night she passed away in her sleep
He breathed a welcome sigh of relief
They tried to comfort him in his grief
(She clutched her heart and cried in defeat)
I'm standing down below on the street
And another day passes
The silent treatment in the warehouse district
Was given out free to the weak and the sick
Grandpa passed beneath the open casket
He had nothing worth saying he was sick of it
The turnpike was packed with tourists and unwed mothers
Let's not worry when we're 30
Ok, ok it's new year's day
Resolution, resolution, it's new year's day
Take what you get & you'll regret giving in
You've had enough of that box you're living in
Resolution, resolution, it's new year's day
I can picture this not working
Broken fixtures shadows lurking
I love your dress and all you're dreaming of
Swim the river & all of the above
if you're single you can sleep in the star position
no one will learn of your heart condition
you will finally be freed up
you can put your feet up
no one will at all take issue
if you kissed them or whether they kissed you
buy a ticket you can go
no one has to know
the key is in the ignition
if you're single you can sleep in the star position
when your solo comes you can blow your nose
no duets to step on your toes
no more chains to hold you back
no one to watch your back
you don't have to smile & fake it
you can take the entire blanket
hold on to your intact virtue
no one can attack or hurt you
the key is in the ignition
if you're single you can sleep in the star position
so blow the scandal out on the cake
what was love now is an earthquake
kick back and take many chances
seeking possible romances
backseat driver, armchair general
very harmful, not so helpful
in the theme park eating fast foods
but you were in one of your moods
the key is in the ignition
if you're single you can sleep in the star position
like a nagasaki of the soul
you're so cold & so combustible
your life is no longer a mystery
you forgot to clear the history
bungee jumping from the skyline
plunging to your open neckline
you're not just one of the mass
you get a plus one backstage pass...
the key is in the ignition
it was guys' night out the other night
and we had a blast
at my dead-end job folding corrugated cardboard
i came in last
from matchsticks to bonfires
from mountains to sand
you'll come around
you'll understand
so what if i could be your father
i could be your son's father too
did you download that software i gave you?
or did you just watch lethal weapon two?
in the circles we swim in
there are many different kinds of men & women
i bet you never felt this good
i bet you never even thought you could
let's stay up late
here let me pour you another one
let me slip into something more comfortable
Say for me that i may hear you
Say it, say it for me
Say for me that i may be near you
Say it, say it for me
Do you remember down by the bridge
The night that you and i first kiss'd
You held my hand & i held yours for the day
Turn away
& do you remember the day after that
We rode on down to the river
You wore that dress & i let you wear my hat for the day
Turn away
Well I know that she's so far away
I know that she's not here today
I tried to call her on the phone today
I Will Be Yours, I Will Be Thine
Will You Agree, Will You Be Mine?
I Have Done Wrong, But I'll Do Right
Morning Is Here, So Long The Night
Here's To The Various Implications
That Course Through Your Heart In Thin Disguise
& Here's To The Future Conversation
Celebration, In Your Eyes (You & I)
Take Hold My Hand, I'll Carry You
To Thee Alone, Will I Be True
Throughout The Day, & Throughout Time
I Will Be Yours, I Will Be Thine (Will You Be Mine?)
Here's To The Theme Of Alienation
That Seeks To Destroy So Many Lives
& Here's To The Hollow Invitations
I've been working on the railroad all the night long
I've been sitting in the alleyway writing you this song
He says, she says, in seven different foreign languages
It doesn't matter what do as long as it's all the night long
Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the fair
She has that certain jene se quas, a certain savoir fare
It's true at some point everyone must stand at gunpoint
It doesn't matter what goes on as long as it's all the night long
All the night long
I love you
All the night long
Come on...
(spoken)
Im not used to this. I like it because it's different.
Jealousy will get you nowhere
you oughta know by now
you're just digging a hole that won't let you go
and you might not want to anyhow
all the men that have wrong'd you
wonder where you have gone to
but they have their own lives, they have their own wives
and they never even wrote a song for you
oh, yeah. all right.
oh, well, I throw my hands up into the fire
i listen to the walkman when i'm tired
but you have been mistaken
i wasn't taken to the highschool choir
yes, i think about it sometimes
i try to see if it rhymes
but i keep my head down and hold my chin up
see if you can add that to your list of my crimes
ah, well, one after another from time to time
come on baby, let's go, you gotta show me some kind of real
y'know, y'know.
I throw my hands up into the fire
I listen to the walkman when im tired
but you have been mistaken
I wasn't taken to the highschool choir
yes, i think about it sometimes
i try to see if it rhymes
but i keep my head down and hold my chin up
see if you can add that to your list of my crimes
Hey - I got a sandlot king
Hey - I got a new Saigon
Hey - I got wishful thinking
Hey - I got my glasses on
Hey - I got a beef lo mein
Hey - I got rainbow skin
Hey - I got a mojo filter
Hey - I got original sin
But all I need is you...
Hey - I got a ball point pen
Hey - I got a brand new bag
Hey - I got front lock brakes
Hey - I got to click & drag
Hey - I got a gunflint trail
Hey - I got a trampolin
Hey - I got a ball & chain
Hey - do you know what i mean?
you're so proud of your perfect eyesight
but you only see the neon, you don't see the night
some people don't mind, in fact they take delight
in only seeing the neon, and not seeing the night
oh, the stars are shining
and the moon is so bright
his diamond rings are flashing
don't forget the night
ok, so you're recognized and you and the doorman are
tight
but you only see the neon, you don't see the night
some things taste good, but that doesn't make them right
you only see the neon, not the night
i saw a sunset and i hope you see the light
that there wouldn't be any neon if not for the night
oh, the stars are shining
and the moon is so bright
his diamond rings are flashing
don't forget the night
everything is black & white, well okay, not quite
but you only see the neon, you don't see the night
You lie on your bed and shake
As it starts to overtake
Into my worthy upturned eyes
I'm throwing things to her throat
I crushed her head
She is dead
I crushed her head
She is dead
She made me mad
I crushed her head
She is dead
I crushed her head
She is dead
She made me mad
I crushed her head
As she stirs in sickness sleep
They all step on her head
She is dead
I crushed her head
She is dead
She made me mad
Dead
I crushed her head
She is dead
I crushed her head
Cause they all cry for mercy
And they all had to die
One summer ago in uncertain times
One thin girl & two three wind chimes
Chapped lips alone & unkissed
She was too easily dismissed
There were times I do recall
Those lips did cause me to fall
Late night rain comes trickling down
You can feel that yearning now
So call me any old time
But I don't know if I'll respond in kind
Please understand if you cannot see
I might not be what you want me to be
Still I leave when you might be lost
One light on and 2 fingers cross'd
Hear me now and walk tenderly
if you miss this train there'll be another right behind
if you call my name i'll come along
i'm looking for the watertank but i can't find it
maybe someone was wrong
i got directions to the watertank last nite
i got nowhere 'cos the directions weren't right
the engine's overheated & the fridge is on the blink
not a drop of moisture emits from my sink
well it's late i know it, it's not too exciting
my hook is in the lake but no one is biting
i round the gang up & read them their rights
the oncoming traffic better turn of its brights
i lie down with a flame in my heart
i'll keep you company when the sides fly apart
i'll write a song that will stick in your head
Well he drinks to much and he hits you
And he don't treat you right
You never know just when it will start
But there's one beating that will comfort you
And cause you no pain
Darling, it's the beating of my heart
Darling, it's the beating of my heart
That's what sets your man and me apart
No more need to dial 911 when the beating starts
Because darling it's the beating of my heart
Oh all the neighbors, they are talking
It's not like they are blind
They can hear the yelling and screaming after dark
But if his beating you
Is causing you to live your life in fear
Then darling here's the beating of my heart
Oh, Darling it's the beating of my heart
Yes, that's what sets your man and me apart
No more bruises and black eyes to hide
When you're shopping at K-mart
I walked into the health food store
Bell ringing as I opened the door
I got cash at the atm
Stocked up on vitamins
Pausing in front of the medicine chest
You didn't even notice
Then I looked and it began to rain
It came down in buckets again
$30 or a suit of gold what will it take to lick this cold?
I reached for a magazine
To cover my insecurity
I asked you about Echinacea
I heard it does wonders for colds
yeah I heard something's been going around
Everyone I know has it
I brought the stuff up to the counter
You rang it up on the register
$30 or a suit of gold what will it take to lick this cold?
You know it doesn't happen too much
But every now & then it does
Some stranger will break your heart
Inspiring a work of art
Confusion & pain will cease
You'll make a masterpiece
You know you look like one
How does it feel to be another one?

Once I heard a serpent remark,
“If you try to evoke the spark,
You can fly through the dark,
With a red midnight raven,
To rule the battleground,”
So I drew my sword and got ready,
But the lamb ran away with the crown.
So I drew my sword and got ready,
But the lamb ran away with the crown.
Tho' the beast within me's a liar,
He made me glow with a strange desire,
And I rode on the fire, with a blue sacred opal
To bless the battleground,
But I turned to see its reflection,
And the lamb ran away with the crown.
But I turned to see its reflection,
And the lamb ran away with the crown.
Once a demon lived in my brow,
I screamed and wailed and I cursed out loud,
And I sailed through the clouds on ten crested cardinals
To guard my battleground,
But I laughed so hard I cried,
And the lamb ran away with the crown.
But I laughed so hard I cried,
The sun was red, and the fires were roarin'
Stars aligned and the webs were spun
I coulda sworn I heard my spirit soarin'
Guess I'm always chasin' the sun
Hopin' we will soon be one
Until it turns around to me, then I try to run...
On phosphorous wings the phoenix floated
The fires froze and the sea was hushed
And when I tried to speak, the sun imploded
And the war will wage in my guts
Till the Devil bites the dust,
I never say him losin' a race, but I think he must...
The great storm raged and the power kept growin'
Dragons rose from the land below
And even now I wonder where I'm goin'
Ever since a long time ago
I've tried to let my feelings show
I'd like to think I'm bein' sincere, but I'll never
Down where the valleys are low, there's a refuge so high
And down where the coldest winds blow, there the warmest winds hide
And deep in the forest of woe, sweet deliverance is nigh
And deep in the heart there's a rose that a glimmer keeps guidin'
'Til the heaven's song begins the holy files a-burnin'
And the harmony is set to weave a silver sermon
And my heart's aflame until the blessed rhythm's churnin'
Push me on from the danger that's pullin' me
And holds me so strong...
Send a song on the wind to deliver me
Take me and rise, when the fire is on...
Take the reins, and the loneliness fillin' me
And make my fear fuel, and the fuel hi-octane
Down where the valleys are low, there's a refuge so high
And down where the coldest winds blow, there the warmest winds hide
And deep in the forest of woe, sweet deliverance is nigh
And deep in the heart there's a rose that a glimmer keeps guidin'
'Til the heaven's song begins the holy files a-burnin'
And the harmony is set to weave a silver sermon
And my heart's aflame until the blessed rhythm's churnin'
Lead the way thru the glories deceivin' me
And reverie's sway...
Thru the day when the hereafter's holdin' me
Lend me a hand and I won't delay
Send a ray thru the seven veiled mysteries
There's a rugged road on the prairie
Stretchin' all across the last frontier
There a stranger strives solitary
Blessed is the lonesome pioneer
Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin'
Come on, the light is gone
Hope's slowly dyin'
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Still surveyin' the miles yet to run
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come
He can blaze a trail, though the rumblin'
Dims his guiding light to just a spark
When the hour is low, he comes tumblin'
When the moon is high he gives his heart
Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin'
Come on, the light is gone
Hope's slowly dyin'
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Gainin' steady till this round is won
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come
People far below chasin' pleasures
Offer him directions on the run
Prophets on the path offer treasures
Though she's mighty hungry he takes none
Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin'
Come on, the light is gone
Hope's slowly dyin'
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Blindly faithful but followin' none
On the long & lonely road to kingdom come
When the sun goes down at the right time
She comes windin' through the purple haze
Just a feather's touch in the night time
But it'll color all my weary days
Shinin' finer than this earthly sun
On the ragged rugged road to kingdom come
If I told you some secrets
Would you say I'm unreal?
I could easily love you
If you'd just let me feel.
I can't play forever
The games I've outgrown,
But just till enchanted sky machines
Take all the gentle home.
Just needin' to touch you
Is so hard to restrain,
Just waitin' for the time
Could maybe make me insane.
My heart is so hungry
Livin' on patience alone,
Please hurry enchanted sky machines
Take all the gentle home.
I believe the beginning
Won't be too far away.
The power's gittin' stronger,
I see signs every day.
So I'll swallow my yearnin
And won't let it be shown,
Until the enchanted sky machines
Take all the gentle home.
My desire is a rosebud
In the magic design.
I can't wait to feel it bloom
They'll be landin' anytime.
Then when the skeptics are wonderin'
Where all the faithful have flown,
We'll be on enchanted sky machines
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin' low for me
One time I trusted a stranger
'Cuz I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin' me
Tho there was somethin' wrong
But when I turned he was gone
Blindin' me, his song remains remindin' me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin' low for me
He wages war with the devil
A pistol by his side
And tho he chases him out windows
And won't give him a place to hide
He keeps his door open wide
Fightin' him he lights a lamp invitin' him
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin' low for me
I heard the thunder come rumblin'
The light never looked so dim
I see the junction git nearer'
And danger is in the wind
And either road's lookin' grim
Hidin' me, I flee, desire dividin' me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin' low for me
One time I trusted a stranger
'Cuz I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin' me
Tho there was somethin' wrong
But when I turned he was gone
Blindin' me, his song remains remindin' me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
I'll chase 'em to the bottom
Till I've finally caught 'em
Dreams fall deep...
Where voices come a-chimin'
Moanin' and a-rhymin'
Warning me, their words are
Ringin' and a-whinin'
Hear 'em weep...
Songs from so deep
While I'm sleepin'
Seep in...
Sweepin' over me
Still the echo's achin'
"Leave us not forsaken"
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison, eleison,
Eleison, eleison
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
So sad, and so true
That even shadows come
And hum the requiem...
O waters of the moon
Your vapors swirls and swoon
Your wake is wide...
And sorrow's like an arrow
Shootin' straight and narrow
Aimin' true, it's sting goes
Reachin' to the marrow,
Silence cried...
Now songs from so deep,
While I'm sleepin',
Seep in...
Sweepin' over me
Still the echo's achin'
"Leave us not forsaken"
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison, eleison,
Eleison, eleison
Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison
So sad, and so true
That even shadows come
And hum the requiem...
Kyrie eleison...
See the bride and the spirit are one,
Then won't you who are thirsty invite him to come?
With your door opened wide,
Won't you listen in the dark for the midnight cry?
And see when your light is on when the bridegroom comes.
Into cold outer darkness are gone
Guests who not their own wedding garment put on
Tho' the chosen are few, won't you tarry by your lamp till he calls for you?
And pray that your love endure till the bridegroom comes.
When the halt and the lame meet the son,
And he sees for the blind and he speaks for the dumb,
Let their poor hearts complaint
Like the leper turned around who has kissed the saint,
Lift like a trumpet shout, and the bridegroom come.
See the builders despising the stone,
See the pearl of great price and the dry desert bones.
By the pharisees cursed,
Be exultant with the rose when the last are first,
And see how his mercy shines when the bridegroom comes.
Hear the bridge and the spirit say come,
Then won't you who are weary invite in the son?
When your heart's love is high,
Won't you hasten to the place where the sun is nigh?
And see that your light is on, for the bridegroom comes
I see the vigilante watchin' in the deep o' the night,
I always find him where his hear is, he's fightin' the
good fight
He's got his eyes on the horizon, reachin' higher,
He's got his eyes on the horizon, and his boots on his
feet.
When I was stranded at the crossroads it was dismal and
grey,
And when I asked him for directions he showed me the
good way,
And if the sky is swirlin' still his pace never swerves
Because his heart is always faithful, reachin' higher
Because his heart is always faithful to the captain he
serves...
So when the storm of deception is roundin' the bend
Y'know the vigilante's watchin', and he won't let it
in...
Tho' I have seen him climbin' mountains with so heavy a
load
He always lends a helpin' hand and he walks on the good
road,
It often makes me wonder how he wins with such ease,
But then he keeps his vigil constant, and he's aimin'
to please
So when illusion's approachin' and danger is nigh,
Y'know the vigilante's watchin' and he won't let it by
I've seen him fight the fiercest foe utnil it's forces
divide,
Cuz he's the fairest of them all and he chooses the
good side,
So when the tempters tease and try to make him unsure,
Y'know the fires of war are burnin', reachin' higher,
Y'know the fires of war are burnin', but his weapons
are pure
So when the clouds of confusion can creep into view
Y'know the vigilante's watchin', and he won't let 'em
Love, risin' from the mists
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touchin' me
Like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss
Sun, siftin' thru the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swoopin' down
Just to show me
How to give my heart away
And once a crystal choir
Appeared while I was sleepin' and called my name
And when they came down nearer
Sayin', "Dyin' is done",
Then a new song was sung
Until somewhere we breathed as one
Stars, burstin' in the sky
Hear the sad nova's dyin' cry
Shimmerin' memory
Come and hold me
While you show me how to fly
Sun, siftin' thru the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swoopin' down
Just to show me
How to give my heart away
And lately sparklin' hosts
Come fill my dreams descendin' on firey beams
I've seen 'em come clear down
Where our poor bodies lay
Soothe us gently and say,
"Gonna wipe all your tears away"
Love risin' from the mists
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touchin' me
Like a wind song
Soldier of the heart, how'dya get so strong?
Soldier of the heart, take me along
Soldier of the heart, how'dya get so true?
Soldier of the heart, I'm marchin' with you
The battlefield's so cold
Take my heart as a token
I'd love to give it to you
Flyin' after a faraway cry
I wandered to a brink so high
Plungin' down to the last degree
The next thing I knew I came to
And saw he was carryin' me
Soldier of the heart, how'dya get so fine?
Soldier of the heart, I wish you were mine
Soldier of the heart, how'dya get so true?
Soldier of the heart, I'm marchin' with you
The battlefield's so cold
Take my love as a token
I long to give it to you
Flames arise from the sword in his hand,
We'll march in over no-man's land,
And burn the enemy's stolen throne,
I'll carry your gun till it's done,
And we can go rollin' back home
Soldier of the heart, how'dya get so right?
Soldier of the heart, take me tonight
Soldier of the heart, how'dya get so true?
Soldier of the heart, I'm marchin' with you
The battlefield's so cold
Take my promise to warm you
I'm gunna give it to you
Flames came rippin' thru battle torn skies,
Though wounded, I tried not to cry
I said, "So long, I guess I'll be leavin' you,"
But when I peeked in on the end,
I saw he was pullin' me thru
Soldier of the heart, how'dya get so strong?
Soldier of the heart, take me along
Soldier of the heart, how'dya get so true?
Soldier of the heart, I'm marchin' with you
Lopin' Along Thru the Cosmos
Lopin' along thru the Cosmos,
And sideways I slide thro the square,
I'm hopin' so hard for a kiss from God,
I missed the sweet love of the air
A silver chariot soars
Thru mercury ripples of sky,
I'm lookin' so hard for a place to land,
I almost forgot how to fly
So keep on movin',
Or stay by my side, either way,
I'll tell you a secret
I've never revealed
I've been lookin' for someone
Who sells truth by the pound
Then I saw the dealer and his friend
Arrive, but their gifts looked grim,
Now I'm tired of hanging on,
Waitin' for a showdown
Don't y'see I gotta ride 'em out
Cuz the pearl's just around the bend
Beautiful pearl, o when will you reappear?
Mysteries unfurl and become so clear,
When I feel you near...
I found a way outside myself
To make my spirit climb,
And I coulda shinnied on up
But my rope was made of wind
I appreciate the words,
But I won't be there at showtime
Don't y'see I gotta ride them out
Cuz the pearl's just around the bend
Beautiful pearl, o when will you reappear?
Mysteries unfurl and become so clear,
When I feel you near...
When my backyard weeds grew high,
I hoped that they would hide me,
But I felt that the pearl was near
Cuz I thought I saw it shine,
I was lookin' all around
When I felt it there inside me
And I see a possibility
Fleeter even than Mercury
He flies inside the walls he calls his own.
He came hidin' but now I see
He looks like everyone I've ever known
He comes bearin' a sacrifice,
I know him by the rose that's in his hand.
I've been listenin' to his advice,
I heat the words but I can't understand.
His moon mirage is shinin'
Shiftin' the things that he can't endure
But all through the Darkness his pain is pure.
Fleeter even than Mercury
He flies inside the walls he calls his own.
He came hidin' but now I see
He looks like everyone I've ever known
He comes beatin' a sacrifice,
I know him by the rose that's in his hand.
I've been listenin' to his advice,
I hear the words but I can't understand.
His moon mirage is shinin'
Through his veins flows a fool's gold flood
He rides the ridge between dark and light,
Without partners or friends
He's courageous enough to be scared
But he's too humble to win,
Bless the ridge rider,
The ridge he's ridin' is mighty thin.
I guess the ridge rider
Forgits he's travelin' with a friend.
He comes from under the cryptosphere,
Where the great sadness begins.
And he doesn't pretend to be brave.
Tho' the road's dusty and dim,
Bless the ridge rider,
The ridge he's ridin' is mighty thin.
I guess the ridge rider
Forgits he's travelin' with a friend.
Since the great fall he's been travelin' hard
Thinkin' bondage is sin.
Hopin' someday the path'll turn gold,
And the weight'll turn into wind
Bless the ridge rider,
The ridge he's ridin' is mighty thin.
I guess the ridge rider
Forgits he's travelin' with a friend.
He rides the ridge between dark and light
Without partners or friends
He's courageous enough to be scared,
But he's too humble to win.
Bless the ridge rider,
The ridge he's ridin' is mighty thin.
I guess the ridge rider
Crayon Angel songs are slightly out of tune
But I’m sure I’m not to blame.
Nothin’s happened but I think it will soon,
So I sit here waitin’ for God and a train,
To the Astral plane.
Magic rings I made have turned my finger green.
And my mystic roses died.
Guess reality is not as it seems,
So I sit here hopin’ for truth and a ride,
To the other side.
Phony prophets stole the only light I knew,
And the darkness softly screamed.
Holy visions disappeared from my view,
But the angels come back and laugh in my dreams,
all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
if I was in L.A
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day
stopped into a church
I passed along the way
well, I got down on my knees
and I pretend to pray
you know the preacher likes the cold
he knows I'm gonna stay
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day
all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day
if I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California Dreamin'
