Blue blue blue oyster...oyster poisoning
I go to a restaurant with my friends
All of us eat raw oysters
I feel headache I feel stomachache
Oyster brings evil upon me
Blue blue blue oyster...oyster poisoning
I can't sleep well at night
I can't see anything in my sight
I'll never eat it I've had enough of it
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper
Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper
We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper
Baby I'm your man...
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity...
Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday... Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday... Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are
Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper
Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper
We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper
Baby I'm your man...
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear we couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid
Come on baby... And we had no fear
And we ran to him... Then we started to fly
We looked backward and said goodbye
We had become like they are
We had taken his hand
We had become like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
They held their heads with laughs of pain
They learned from men who'd just refrain
From glancing at a mirror's face
Seven screaming diz-busters who lurked by a rose
Had iron for a bloodstream and ice behind their eyes
On each and all those holy nights
Where dusters dust becomes the sale and lucifer, the light
They're long so long this time of year
When stars be crossed by twirling fear
You don't suppose I'd prove surprised
Seven screaming diz-busters should go the route and die
Without the warmth they learn to crave
With hardened smiles and evil signs
On each and all those holy nights
Where dusters dust becomes the sale and lucifer, the light
Bury me near the secret cove so they'll not know the way
Bury me there, behind the rose so they'll not rile my grave
I'll not reveal whose name still loose (?)
Well their laugh of pain...And their harder smiles...
And their rigid arms...And their evil signs...
Longer days and the longer nights
And their longer, and longer still
On each and all those holy nights
Where dusters dust becomes the sale and lucifer, the light
I had this bitch you see, she made lies to me
Her deceit, oh, it gave me a chill
But I found out now, that baby that baby ice dog
She said, we would wed in Mongolian country
Lilies shoot free, but she was snowing me
In the mountains, oh, her intent was all too clear
It was quite a sin, how the ice caved in
I was numb, I could not assist
Baby ice went down through cold cold cold ground
I said baby, that's the breaks
Leading me around like broke down hound dog
Crossing me once too often
Now she's bound for a lower station
She crossed me once too often
And now the ladies all fear this Mongolian man
With ice down his face you know I could get them involved
In unnatural acts with the aid of my cold cold stare
They'd like to make it with my big black dog
But they just don't know how to ask
You know they'd like to try anything that comes into your mind
Oh freeze on freeze on freeze on bone to bone
Strange shapes light up the night
Never seen them though I hope I might
Don't ask if they are real
The men in black, their lips are sealed
Fantasy it fills my mind
To leave this place before my time
Release myself from earthly care
My dream may be your nightmare
I turn my hopes up to the sky
I'd like to know before I die
Memories will slowly fade
I lift my eyes and say
Come on, take me away
Come on, take me away
Come here, girl, close to me
A thousand stars your eye can see
First star we see tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
I turn my hopes up to the sky
I'd like to know before I die
Memories will slowly fade
I lift my eyes and say
Come on, take me away
Come on, take me away
I turn my hopes up to the sky
I'd like to know before I die
Memories will slowly fade
I lift my eyes and say
Come on, take me away
I lift my eyes and say
Come on, take me away
I lift my eyes and say
Come on, take me away
I lift my eyes and say
Come on, take me away
I lift my eyes and say
( - J. Bouchard - H. Wheels - )
When we met it was a white hot star
The speed of light between two hearts
It felt like love, it sounds bizarre
But in your eyes I could see so far
Baby baby shouldn't know no fear
Was it an angel who brought us here
Old old songs, but the love goes on
Changing life into a song
It took light years, light years of love
Light years, light years of love
Of love, of love
Our love is like the shining sea
In salty foam, we can feel so free
Caress the night with our cool skin
In your arms I can be anything
We've got light years, light years of love
Light years, light years of love
Of love, of love
Repeat
( - E. Bloom - )
Slicing through the night Three riders
Perched on American steel Riders with no name
Time cannot reveal riders with no names
On October 31'st many years ago
Three friends went out for a ride
For it was a famous party night
And to party was to get high
They loaded up on beer and cocaine
And they started their bikes with a roar
They couldn't have known that on this night
They were beginning their longest tour
Chorus:Feel the thunder of the midnight ride
They're torn asunder by those who died
Feel the thunder of the midnight ride
They're torn asunder by those who died
On to their favorite road they rode
Leather horsemen ridin' three wide
Their metal beasts howled in the night
And dark spectre was their guide
They came around the curve too fast
Only time for a scream
A fiery crash of chrome and steel
Was the beginning of the longest dream
Chorus:
As their fates decreed that night
Their souls must be tried
Now you can hear them every Hallows Eve
Forever doomed to ride
Slicing through the night Three riders
Perched on American steel Riders with no name
Time cannot reveal riders with no names
CHORUS:
( - D. Roeser - B. Blotto - )
Out of the smoke of the dawn of man
Out of the ocean across the sand
Reaching forth with an ancient hand
Dragon lady
Out of the flames of a man's desire
A hair raising voice from an evil choir
Raining down like a freezing fire
Dragon lady
She appears mysteriously
You don't take her seriously
Until you're under her spell
Chorus: Dragon lady takes you by the heart
Dragon lady takes you by the heart
You try to run but before you start
Dragon lady's got you by the heart
Dragon lady takes you by the heart
Dragon lady's got you she won't let go
Eternal lightning flashes across the sky
When the dragon lady shows you how to fly
Eternal lightning flashes across the sky
When the dragon lady shows you how to fly
Out of the cage in the center ring
Out of the crowd and straight to the king
Who's out of his mind with a mystical thing
Dragon lady
Out of the dream and into the night
A final look makes you die of fright
No one there in the candlelight
Dragon lady
She appears outragiously
You take her courageously
Until you're under her spell
Chorus:
Eternal lightning flashes across the sky
When the dragon lady shows you how to fly
Eternal lightning flashes across the sky
And the Dragon Lady's laughing as you cry...
Hell-bent for leather on a moonlit night
There's a hot wind blowin'
Better hold on tight to your soul
Blue fire rising up from the deep
Burning the world when it's tryin' to sleep
So let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
C'mon let yourself go
You can be whatever you want to be
You've got the power
We've got the key
Yeah, BOC
You're a rebel and you got no friends
We all know that it all depends on rock and roll
Do you feel like they're keeping you down
Ain't no fun with your feet on the ground
So let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Yeah let yourself go
You can be whatever you want to be
You've got the power
We've got the key
( - B. Abbott - D. Roeser - )
Raise your can of beer on high
And seal your fate forever
Our best years have past us by
The golden age of leather
This was the night not long to come in the year of our Lord A.D.
Where in a desert way-house, poised on the brink of eternity
Four and ninety studded horsemen closed the knot of honor
As only drunken soldiers can
And passed from man to man, a wanton child to dead to care
That each would find his pleasure as he might
For this fantastic night was billed as nothing less than the end of
an age
A last crusade, a final outrage, in this day of flacid plumage
And there was worn no cloth but leather
Made supple by years of stinging cinders
And here were seen the scars of age
For age had been the common call for one last night together
Down colored the sky (the ritual feast)
Some had died (they were buried with their bikes)
Each grabbed a rag (from a man with a sack)
Torn strips of color (the red and the black)
We made a vow to give it all we had to give
We made a vow to die as we had lived
They flew the colors, they began to fight
They flailed at each other like bugs at a light
Bodies and bikes beyond repair
Smell of oil and gas in the air
Then the wind whipped the desert with a giant hand
And the humans and the Harleys caught the shifting sand
And the old ranger weathered the storm
And he topped the rise by the middle of morn
He saw rippled dunes, calm and surreal
And a glint of a shaft of chromium steel
Golden age...
( - D. Roeser - )
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla
History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
( - R. Meltzer - A. Bouchard - )
Bleached by the sun
And scorned by the moon
If I make it 'til tomorrow noon
I'm leaving
'Tween the horror of space
And the terror of time
My heart in crystal
Down the line I'm screaming
What I need is a kiss from you babe
Before it's hangover time
What I need is some love from you babe
Before this stampede arrives
Desolate landscapes
Storybook bliss
Darling let me tell you
This is crazy
Hell of a memory
Is a Heaven a pain
Snow is cold but so is rain
Please save me
What I need is a kiss from you babe
Before it's hangover time
What I need is some love from you babe
Before the stampede arrives
I need you
Screams in the night, sirens delight
Heat, broken glass, Satan's bred trash
Big city madness, comfort my soul
Give me a home where I can grow
String of bright lights running up to the sky
Throughout the hot night, the cars racing by
You know they all see, but most of them pass
She drives by my wares, don't hide in your glass wheel
Screams in the night, sirens delight
Heat, broken glass, Satan's bred trash
Big city madness, comfort my soul
Give me a home where I can grow
Sounds of guitars fill up the night
Can't make me feel, I said its alright
In one hotel bed, you think you can grow
I am becalmed
Lost to nothing
Warm weather and
Holocaust
Left to die by two good friends
Abandoned me and put to sleep
Left to die by two good friends
Tears of god flow as I bleed
So ladies fish and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
Oyster boys are
Swimming for me now
Save me from the
Death-like creatures
Oyster boys are swimming now
Hear them chatter on the tide
We understand, we understand
But fear is real and so do I
So ladies fish and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
Oyster boys are
Swimming for me
Just one deal is what
We made now
Forest keys and whirlwind cold
Green keys too and keys of gold
And even locks that don't explode
When the skies become a scroll
So ladies fish and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in the blue sky bag
Goering's on the phone to Freiburg
Say's Willie's done quite a job
Hitler's on the phone from Berlin
Say's I'm gonna make you a star
My Captain Von Ondine, here's your next patrol
A flight of English bombers across the canal
After twelve, they'll all be here
I think you know the job
They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers, ripened, ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die
In a G-load disaster from the rate of climb
Sometimes I'd faint and be lost to our side
But there's no reward for failure, but death
So watch me in the mirrors, keep in the glidepath
Get me through these radars, no I cannot fail
Not when great silver slugs are eager to feed
I can't fail, no not now
When twenty five bombers wait ripe
They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers, ripened, ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die
Me-262 prince of turbojet, Junker's jommo 004
Blasts from clustered R4M quartets in my snout
And see these English planes go burn
Now you be my witness how red were the skies
When the fortresses flow, for the very last time
It was dark over Westphalia, in april of T45
They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers, ripened, ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Junker.s jommo 004 (repeat many times)
Bombers at 12 o'clock high
Harvester of eyes, that's me
And I see all there is to see
When I look inside your head
Right up front to the back of your skull
Well that's my sign that you are dead
And my list for you checks off as null
I'm the harvester of eyes
I'm the eyeman of TV
With my ocular TB
I need all the peepers I can find
Inside the barn where you find the hay
Well just last week I took a ride
So high on eyes, I almost lost my way
I'm the harvester of eyes
Harvester of eyes, that's me....harvester of eyes
And I see all there is to see...harvester of eyes
When I look inside your head....harvester of eyes
Right up front to the back of your skull....harvester of eyes
Oh yeah
It's been ten years, half my life
Just getting ready but then it was time
Warpage in the figures, radios appear
Midnight was the barrier, back in 1963
Each night, the covers were unfolded
Each night, It's Susy's turn to ride
While Charles, the one they call her brother
Covers on his eyes, murmurs in the background
It will be time...
Oh yeah
Susan and her brother, Charles the grinning boy
Put me in the backseat, and they took me for a ride
Yeah, the radio was on, can't you dig the locomotion
Kingdoms of the radio, 45 RPM
Too much revolution then...
Each night,
Each night, It's Susy's turn to ride
While Charles, the one they call her brother
Covers on his eyes, murmurs in the background
It will be time...
It's past midnight said Charles the grinning boy
And looking at me greedily, said it's 1964
In times square now, the people do the polka
Dominance....Submission...radios appear
New Year's eve, it was the final barrier
Dominance....Submission...radios appear
We took you up and put you in the back seat
Dominance....Submission...radios appear
Form year to year we looked out for the venture
Dominance....Submission...radios appear
Dominance....Submission (repeat ad nauseam)
I plot your rubric scarab, I steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my baby tonight
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil (repeat three times)
Pay me I'll be your surgeon, I'd like to pick your brains
Capture you, Inject you, leave you kneeling in the rain
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil (repeat three times)
I'd like your blue eyed horseshoe, I'd like your emerald horny toad
I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road
And then I'd spend your ransom money, but still I'd keep your sheep
I'd peel the mask your wearing, and then rob you of your sleep
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I'm making a career of evil (repeat seven times)
Ooooh cagey, what you got?
What you got there dummy? What you got there man?
Ooooh cagey, what you got?
What you got there honey? What is it a worm?
Dumb clouds are raging, stupid clouds at my door
Creepy weather coming, hanging 'round my floor
Dumb clouds stay away, and don't come back no more
Ooooh cagey, what you got?
Got an awful tummy, Oh no it's inflamed
Ooooh cagey, what you got?
It's so lonely honey, in the state of Maine
Dumb clouds are raging, stupid clouds at my door
Creepy weather coming, hanging 'round my floor
Dumb clouds stay away, and don't come back no more
I'm graduating in one more term
Because I haven't any time to burn
Repeating taste of hi-heeled shoe
An eel is waiting under the train
Being chased around by the neighbor's cat
Well it's so lonely in the state of Maine
Dumb bells are ringing, ringing in my ear
Mother's wombs are crying, ringing in my fear
Mother's never run, except when rape is near
Ooooh cagey (repeat three times)
Clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
And now the sand's become a crust
Most of you have gone away
Come Susie dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you'll want to know where winds come from
Well it's never said at all
On the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there you know
At the Four Winds Bar
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Four winds at the Four Winds Bar
Two doors locked and windows barred
One door to let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The Queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms
Yes the light that never, never warms
Or the light that never
Never warms
Never warms
Never warms
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear
Would find themselves at Four Winds Bar
It's the nexus of the crisis
And the origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Call me Desdinova
Eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog
Fixed and consequent
Astronomy...a star
A mirror is a negative space
With a frame and a place for your face
It reveals what the rest of us see
It conceals what you'd like it to be
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls have a love affair
With their eyes and their shining hair
Fantasize that the world adores
Tantalize like a cover girl
Mirrors are the basis of beauty
Give rise to self love or self pity
The prize if a woman is pretty
She tries like a superstar Hollywood girl
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Vanity's a deadly sin
It's what the flesh is packaged in
Vanity's a deadly sin
It's what the flesh is packaged in
Pretty girls have a love affair
With their eyes and their shining hair
Fantasize that the world adores
Tantalize like a cover girl
Mirrors are a negative space
With a frame and a place for your face
They reveal what the rest of us see
They conceal what you'd like it to be
Vanity's a deadly sin
They have killed the great sun jester
Who danced between the stars
They have stripped him of his manhood
Signs of Venus and of Mars
The cynics left him weeping
And the jackals left him torn
And the jester reaches out bind hands
He can touch the stars no more.
CHORUS:
And he took the stars in his hands
And as he scattered them he'd shout
"I'm the joker of the universe
I'm what it's all about."
Now he's dying in his grief
And the hard men dragged him down
They have killed the wild-eyed jester
They have killed the fireclown
Now his blind eyes seek the starlight
And his fingers seek controls
To take him into space again
Where he was both young and old
The dancers stiff with pain
And they've made him kneel too long
And the madness they have driven out
They've left him cold and sane.
CHORUS
He'll never - sing his songs - again...
He'll never dance between the stars - again...
He'll never laught - again...
No he'll never ever laugh again...
( - J. Bouchard - R. Binder - )
You scorned the love that I gave you
You lied now nothing can save you
Blue skies are turning to grey
I know the games that you play
Winds of rage they start to build
Too much madness will lay you under
The cards you draw don't help at all
Hear the sound of approaching thunder
When you see the clouds blacken
Remember you've been warned
No shelter from my fierce winds
Because, I am the storm
You'll hear my echoes of anger
You'll fear the roar of my thunder
Nightmares, confusion will come true
Aces and eights are the fate that you drew
Lightning bolts become my swords
When I pull them from the sky
Run my gauntlet of slashing rain
You won't survive to testify
When you see the clouds blacken
Remember you've been warned
No shelter from my fierce winds
Because, I am the storm
( - R. Meltzer - J. Bouchard - D. Roeser - )
Dance on fire with me babe
The flames ain't gonna stop
Come on and show me
That you're ready to trot
So if you really wanna do it
You better do it hot
Ah my babe
You tell me that you're scared
But your fear
Is just driving me mad
Well, you can call me Dr. Music
Music is my game
Well, you can call me Dr. Music
Music is my name
Girl don't stop that screamin'
You're sounding so sincere
So much beauty
In the tracks of your tears
So if you wanna face the music
Open up your ears
Meet my friend
Calamity Jane
Hear the rhythm
In the sound of her pain
Well, you can call me Dr. Music
Music is my game
Well, you can call me Dr. Music
Music is my name
On the terminal point
Of the cul-de-sac
Patients are dying
The horses are dazed
From the glare of stars
The starry wisdom
Owned by the Baron
And he's got the cure
A drug by the name of World Without End
A drug by the name of World Without End
A drug by the name of World Without End
Come and take this.................Carpe Diem!
World without end..................Carpe Diem!
You'll be inventor.................Carpe Diem!
Invention, letter, earth, wind.....Carpe Diem!
Rhymed like the real...............Carpe Diem!
And real as the rhyme..............Carpe Diem!
Imagine this Baron.................Carpe Diem!
Inventor of rhymes.................Carpe Diem!
Imagine he was me and I was called Frankenstein
Imagine he was me and I was called Frankenstein
Imagine he was me and I was called Frankenstein
Carpe Diem!
Carpe Diem!
Carpe Diem!
Carpe Diem!
He was me, and I was called Frankenstein
He was me, and I was called Frankenstein
He was me, and I was called Frankenstein
Frankenstein

Frankenstein
(World without end) ...
You said you'd be here at a quarter to five
I didn't know if you were dead or alive
How long you think that I can sharpen my knife
I've got better things to do with my life
It's almost the deadline
Don't miss the deadline, darling
When all your bad dreams will come true
Don't miss the deadline
It's almost the deadline, darling
I wouldn't want it to happen to you
Phil screamed at him, and he hung up the phone
I wonder if he ever felt more alone
He never finished his coffee that night
The photo they showed David was a terrible sight
He missed the deadline
He passed the deadline, darling
And I believe that somehow he knew
He crossed the deadline
He passed the deadline, darling
There wasn't a thing anybody could do
Listen my darling, now, don't play with fire
You find a way to balance faith and desire
It's almost the deadline
Don't miss the deadline darling
Consequences are easily misconstrued
Don't miss the deadline
It's almost the deadline, darling
Along the world axis
The Empress lay sleeping
To the rhyme of the, of the, of the star clock
Seven sleepers
Seven sages
Seven ladders to the, to the
Seventh heaven
Seven stars
Had Ursa Major
Tables turning, turning
And rain maker
While the seven
The visitors
All went, all went
A drumming
Dance a Don Pedro
Do the Don Pedro
Games after death
Night dances 'round
Samedi and Petre
In Alchemy
Salute the Four Quarters
Before I leave your eyes
Twinned in the mirror
Les Mesteres come
End me adoration
Before I leave your eyes
World in the mirror
Waters of amnesia come
Do you know (do you know), do you know (do you know)
Do you know (do you know), do you know (do you know)
The court of Eve
Beneath the Polar Mountain
Rose cross and crosser there
Symbols of the swan
Aerial races
In rotation over
The magical casement
Visions of a parallel world
Dance a Don Pedro
Do the Don Pedro
Games after death
Night dances 'round
Samedi and Petre
In Alchemy
Fresh from zones of moisture
And afterwards the meat
With spangles on my long-tailed suits
And songs to haunt the one that's saved
Just call me Desdinova
I'm sure to be
The lucky one
When destiny assigns wisdom
Known to me
The starry wisdom
I am the one you warned me of
I am the one who'd never, never lie
The writing in the notebook
Notation from the stars
Songs by Desdinova
And frost warnings from the women's farm
Whose agents could not ever see
His hilly eyes and too green rings
Obscured sight and fancy dreams
Holy mass, those 13 fancy dreams
I am the one you warned me of
I am the one who'd never, never lie
Eyes like bottles and hands in my hair
Bottles of blackness the blacker the spare
I'll sit myself behind that clock
And play tunes on its belfry
Five fingers have I to play them like ten
Ten fingers have I to play them again
In decimal chains whose mimic cry
Whose notes will never, never fly
Until they quit those timely tunes
And entered that system from outside
I am the one you warned me of
It's in the whirlpool, where matter vanishes
Degenerate star, arm of Orion
An iron sun, the forbidden circle
It's a mountain, it's a black horizon
Heavy metal, black and silver
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never one
By starlight, the heaviest horizon
Magnetic mirrors, scattered body slow(?)
A chaos of metal, river of fire
Unlighted crossing(?) (the countless) blue and glows(??)
Heavy metal, black and silver
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never one
Falling matter, from the cross
Freedom that was never lost
Beyond the end, we'll be coming
Beyond time, space and control
Direction - sun light
Creation - done right
Foundation - before the Einstein grips the night
Spans a river - star light
Become tired - damn right
World - I love darkness
Without end - and I love light
Heavy metal, black and silver
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never, never, never one
Death comes sweeping through the hallway, like a lady's dress
Death comes driving down the highway, in it's Sunday best
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
Swept to ruin off my wavelength, swallowed her up
Like the ocean in a fire, so thick and gray
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
Death comes driving - I can't do nothing! Death goes.
There must be something - there must be something that remains
Something... something...
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
( - A. Bouchard - K. Bouchard - )
Sometimes it feels like ya' can't get enough
My buddys and me keep lookin' for the stuff
To make us feel the blood rushin' through our veins
Just to keep on livin', it's bound to be a strain
We're hungry boys (4 times)
Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys
Friday night we take off, headin' for the city
And dance with the lady from the white-snow country
Then she takes us home and we get a little love
That's something, can't get enough of
We're hungry boys (as above)
Now look at Louie, he's really got the need
(Valerie's?) got the needle but she always makes him plead
Louie was a-wonderin', if brought the stuff to town
But the cop's moved in and shut the operation down
That's why we're hungry boys (4 times)
Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys

From the dust arose on high
A thundercloud in a two-lane sky
From the world I did rebel
A Fallen Angel
Highway lust was in my blood
But who could ever take my love?
The crew was cold ????
And the banner fell
A Fallen Angel
A girl so strange, I lost my head
Lost it all, got left for dead
I curse the day now, just a shell
A Fallen Angel
Gonna ride up from hell
I'm the Fallen Angel
When the brink of ruin lies
Upon the world, a judge shall rise
To lead the fall, you'll remember well
A Fallen Angel
Gonna ride up from hell
Gonna ride up from hell
Gonna ride up from hell
I'm the Fallen Angel
Canadian mounted baby, a police force that works
Red and black, that's their color scheme
get their man, in the end
It's all right, it's all right.
Frontenac chateau baby
I'll cross the frontier at ten
Got a whip in my hand baby
And a girl or a husky at leather's end
It's all right, it's all right
My lovely bel punice, you'd kill and you'd maim
Hornswoop me bungo pony, dogsled on ice
Make a dash for freedom baby, don't skate on polar ice
It's to thick to be sliced by the light
Of long and white polar nights
It's all right, it's all right
My lovely bel punice, you'd kill and you'd maim
I have this feeling that my luck is none too good
This sword here at my side don't act the way it should
Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave
Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave
And it howls! It howls like hell!
I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law
That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore
I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul
I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool
Black Blade, Black Blade
Forged a billion years ago
Black Blade, Black Blade
Killing so its power can grow
It's death from the beginning to the end of time
And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign
And the whole world's dying and the burden's mine
And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time
Black Blade, Black Blade
Bringing chaos to the world we know
Black Blade, Black Blade
And it's using me to kill my friends
Black Blade, Black Blade
Getting stronger so the world will end
Black Blade, Black Blade
Forcing my mind to bend and bend
I am the Black Blade
Forged a million billion years ago
My cosmic soul it goes on for eternity
Carving out destiny
Bringing in the Lords of Chaos
Bringing up the Beasts of Hades
Sucking out the souls of heroes
Laying waste to knights and ladies
My master is my slave
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
I... I have no church or philosophy.
I've never known or told a joke you see.
I smoke in bed. I smoke instead.
I know the ins and outs of smoke.
And where there's smoke, there's fire,
The flip side of desire.
And if it's true, it can't be you,
It might as well be me.
A spy in the house of your fire
A fire in the house of your night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight! (tonight, tonight, tonight)
I'll see you there tonight! (tonight, tonight, tonight)
I've never been to Spain nor to Germany.
I'll never know my way around the city of Gorky.
I've made love in halls. I fell in love in malls.
I'd love to love you in the dark.
And when it's dark, it's night,
The flip side of delight.
So if, in fact, it can't be wrong,
Well then it must be right.
A spy in the house of your fire
A fire in the house of your night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight! (tonight, tonight, tonight)
I'll see you there tonight! (tonight, tonight, tonight)
And when it's dark, it's night,
The flip side of delight.
So if, in fact, it can't be wrong,
Well then it must be right.
A spy in the house of your fire
A fire in the house of your night.
A white-hot dark-black rendezvous.
I'll see you there tonight! (tonight, tonight, tonight)
I'll see you there tonight! (tonight, tonight, tonight)

Moments of pleasure, in a world of pain.
Working together, only to fight again.
If we wait for the world leaders to decide, who will die first?
So don't wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they,
For the grand beginning of the end!
Pulses are racing. You know the blade may fall.
Destinies tracing. I sing to a great star-fall.
And you know there's a real answer, but they've already been told.
We've heard our lies being cold!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't they,
For the grand beginning of the end!
The hourglass turns over, and time is running low.
Will the sandman's pollen bring sleep before we know?
Yeah, you know there's a real answer, and we've died more than been told.
So don't wait no more!
Tell me, make rock not war! What are we dying for?
Rock not war! Nobody wins!
Rock not war! What are we trying for?
And the fools rush in, don't we,
For the grand beginning of the end!
Make rock not war!

Come with me! Ready or not!
You got to jump to the music!
Come with me! It's gonna get hot!
You got the rhythms to use it!
Not everybody cooperates, and I'll say if they wanna play rough:
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
Come with me! And reach for the sky!
Get your fists up where I can see 'em!
Come with me! Dead or alive!
Hey! I want to hear everybody screaming!
Some people got a bad attitude, and I'll say if they wanna act tough:
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
You take a lickin'; keep on kickin';
This fight we both can win!
We'll stop sockin' when you stop rockin'!
You don't give up, you just give in!
Not everybody cooperates, and I'll say if they wanna act tough:
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
Beat 'em up! You know you got to beat 'em up!
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up!
Parched land no desert sand, sun was just a dot
And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot
Three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back
Of a rented ford
They couldn't know they weren't going far
Each one with the money in his pocket
Could go out and buy himself a brand new car
But they all had the money they had
Money they hoped would take them very far
The sky was bright, a traffic light, now and then a truck
And they hadn't seen a cop around all day
They brought everything they needed
bags and scales to weigh the stuff
The driver said the border's just over the bluff
It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped
In the middle of a cold and barren place
And the other guy turned and spilled
Three boys blood, did they know a trap had been lain?
They're ok the last days of may, I'll be breathing dry air
I'm leaving soon, the others are already there
You wouldn't be interested in coming along, instead of staying here
They say the west is nice this time of year
So grab your rose and ring side seat,
We're back home at Conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo,
Reds and wine, cokes of course
Oh my suzy, my suzy,
Why did we ever start
It's morning now, you'd never know
The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark
And underneath, the black light,
Underneath it all
Four and forty redheads meet,
Come to doom 'til the dawn
With threats of gas and rose motif
Their lips apart like a swollen rose
Their tongues extend, and then retract
A redcap, a redcap, before the kiss, before the kiss.
Doors like flint and window panes
An endless shadow bar
The owner's boys have gone to work
To stop big deals behind the bar
While outside on the turnpike
They got this new hit tune
Where thrills become as cheap as gas
And gas as cheap as thrills
One thrill and mundane here at last
Expect the cross one more
Lecherous invisible
Beware the limping cat
Whose black teeth grip between loose jaws
Still ripe and fully bloomed
A rose that's not from anywhere
That you would know or I would care
And the owners boys act most cheerfully
Back home at Conry's bar
When their patrons' thoughts at last
Grow too big for their skulls
And awful things are happening
We've let this drama fold
And now the time has come at last
To crush the motif of the rose.
So grab your rose and ring side seat
We're back home at Conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo
Reds and wine, cokes of course
Oh my suzy, my suzy
Why did we ever start
It's morning now, you'd never know
The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark

Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming
On presidential roofs listen to the sinister drumming
Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming
On presidential roofs hear the sinister drumming
They warn of Armageddon, they warn us of apocalypse
The future's as a fool's invention
Of choking skies and computer chips
(There's a nightmare) civilization
(There's a monster) industry
Four horsemen have already arrived
I see them above us, already here
Four horsemen with hooves like knives
I say again, already here
(There's a nightmare) civilization
(There's a monster) industry
(There's a devil) human corruption
(There's a vampire) human greed

Treat me right
Or don't treat me at all
Hang on tight
Or don't hang at all
Out of sight
But not out of heart
Can't be scared of the dark
That's how it is
You take and he'll give
That's how it is
Live and let live
No promises
True believer key?
No compromise
Through the crisis to steer
Speak your heart
Don't love at all
Shouldn't make you fall

Soul searching for the truth
Stranded on a ship of fools
Tempest tossed upon a sea of lies
Who's making up these rules
A false promise, a dirty deal
You'll do anything for power
Watch you cutting off everything real
In your ivory tower
CHORUS
Oh, no,
The whole world's turning to greed and lust
Oh, yeah
It's devilous
Believe what you want, but don't put your trust
In blind faith
(Time after time, it's a crime
When the blind lead the blind)
So don't put your trust in blind faith
(Lies lead to lies every time,
When it's all in your mind)
Beware of sleeping dogs
They run with every pack
They'll lie right to your face
And stab you in the back
They only want to hide the truth
And dig you deeper in the hole
You better look before you leap
'Cause you can't trust a soul
CHORUS
Oh they get up and leave you
They just want to deceive you
Ain't no rhyme or reason
Just don't get taken for a fool
Damned if I do
Damned if you don't
So just trust me
But don't put your trust in blind faith

When the blind lead the blind)
So don't put your trust in blind faith

Driving through the pouring rain
I'm back out on the road again
Headed for another one-night stand
Keep wishing I was home again
Hanging out with my own friends
I guess I'll die a travelling man
Baby
We've been loving on borrowed time
And now you're leaving
You say you're walking on down the line
But don't stop believing
Where you gonna search for love
Somewhere in the night, baby
And where ya gonna find a man like me
To set you free
Baby, you'll find me out there
Somewhere in the night, woman
And it'll be all right, yeah
Somewhere in the night
(Somewhere in the night)
And though we never said goodbye
We thought that it was time for me to fly
Taking off on broken wings
She kissed the tears from my eye
'Cause everybody says that tough guys never cry
We may never love like this again
'Cause some lose and some never win
We're gonna leave this town behind
And don't look back now
'Cause if I can't make you mine
I'll just keep on dreaming
Where you gonna search for love
Somewhere in the night, baby
And where ya gonna find a man like me
To set you free
Baby, you'll find me out there
Somewhere in the night, woman
And who's gonna hold you tight
Somewhere in the night
Where you gonna search for love
Somewhere in the night, baby
And where ya gonna find a man like me
Who's gonna set you free
Baby, you'll find me out there
Somewhere in the night, woman

THIS IS THE GROOVE!
That makes Cool move
The dudest dope and he's looking smooth
BURNING
With a rubber hup buskin a thousand watts
and the basses are pumpin' hard
To the beat of the street
Cool gets out of his seat and shuffles his feet
And if you get in the way you're gonna have to pay
Mr. Cool
He's Mr. Cool, and nobody's fool
He's Mr. Cool
Oh, too cool!
He spins around with a mighty THRUST
He hits the ground (all the girlie's lust!)
Yeah, Cool's got style he can do anything
(HUH HUH HUH HUH) He's the body king
He thinks he's cool
I think he's lame
His ego feeds off local fame
Big talking jerks, they're all the same
Yeah!

He's Mr. Cool, and nobody's fool
He's Mr. Cool
So smooth - he's gotta be - do ya wanna be cool
Mr. Cool

Tell it like it is!
People getting wise
Seeing through his lies
Lying in the street
Like a piece of meat
Rubbing it is hell
Checking it out!
(oh my god, that is like so cool...
look at those leather pants!
yeah, he's a little bit too overweight
to be wearing those, isn't he?
yeah, look at all those chicks

Hi, kids! It's the Captain Happy show!
Starring me, Captain Happy!
I'm taking out my magic mirror...
I see Bobby, I see Susie, I see Billy!
FUCK!
Filled with joy this time of season
I'm always happy for no reason
My favorite sun shining down on me
The sweet little verse of a melody
I love to romp through the hills
And tippy-toe through the daffodills
Mister Butterfly, will you be my pet
Let me capture you in my little net
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
I'm so happy, they're so happy, we're so happy
Are you happy too?
I'm so happy, they're so happy,
Wouldn't you like to be happy, too?
He's so happy, she's so happy, he's so happy
Are you happy too?
I'm so happy, they're so happy,
Wouldn't you like to be happy, too?
FUCK!
Dandelions are in the air
Great big flowers are everywhere
I love to pick them every day
Arrange and put them on display
I whirl I sleep I jump I prance
My little feet, they begin to dance
Probably sitting in a tree
A friendly owl he hoots at me
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
I'm so happy
Let's go!
(Loud sobbing, with a crying chorus....)
I'm so happy, they're so happy, we're so happy
Are you happy too?
I'm so happy, they're so happy,
Wouldn't you like to be happy, too?
He's so happy, she's so happy, he's so happy
Are you happy too?
I'm so happy, they're so happy,
Wouldn't you like to be happy, too?
FUCK!
Graceful floating ladybug
Grandma gives me a great big hug
Little children, great big smiles
As I skip for miles and miles
Grandma gives me a great big sweater
My little life can get no better
Life's so happy and full of joy

She wouldn't let nobody push her around
Out on the streets, you fight for your life
Red lipstick and a switchblade knife

Nobody knows the troubles she's seen
She fights tough, she's gonna get mean
Jane Jane, the Hurricane
A heart of stone, but she feels no pain
Jane Jane, the Hurricane
Cold-blooded love for your life in vain
>From town to town, she's a loner
No way in hell you'll get to know her
Gone with the wind without a trace

It was one of those things you don't quite see
I guess I knew but didn't want to believe
Shout in her hair, and steel in her eyes
Only nineteen and impossibly wise
I couldn't quite place it, I didn't quite know
But I had some wild oats and I wanted to sow
She was a feral fur and teeth
Some things you sow, you'd rather not reap
So children, you'll hear the serpents hiss
At the moment you feel
A demon's kiss
A demon's kiss, a demon's kiss
Watch out or you'll get your wish
A demon's kiss, a demon's kiss
My friends, she had a demon's kiss
A demon's kiss
They're sweet to live and dancing on MTV
Dancing in the disco, dancing for me
See the bed raise and the energy rise
Turn out the light and see the glow in her eyes
So children, you'll hear the serpents hiss
At the moment you feel
A demon's kiss
Well, it's whether awake and somehow survive
Most of her men are no longer alive
She's something you cannot have, cannot hold
Like touching your fingers on the hot coal
So children you'll hear the serpent's hiss
At the moment you feel
A demon's kiss
A demon's kiss, a demon's kiss
Watch out or you'll get your wish
A demon's kiss, a demon's kiss
My friends, she had a demon's kiss
A demon's kiss
A demon's kiss
She had a demon's kiss, a demon's kiss
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity...Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
I hear the music, daylight disc
Three men in black said, "Don't report this"
"Ascension," and that's all they said
Sickness now, the hour's dread
All praise
He's found the awful truth, Balthazar
He's found the saucer news
I'm in fairy rings and tower beds
"Don't report this," three men said
Books by the blameless and by the dead
King in yellow, queen in red
All praise
He's found the awful truth, Balthazar
He's found the saucer news
Dead leaves always give up motion
I no longer feel the motion
Where prophecy fails, the falling motion
"Don't report this, agents of fortune"
All praise
He's found the awful truth, Balthazar
He's found the saucer news
You're boned like a saint
With the consciousness of a snake
You're the kind of girl
I'd like to find
Face like an angel
But you're boned like the devil
Your eyes have shifted from me
Everyone saw what you did
You have slipped from beneath me
Like a false and nervous squid
Oh no more horses horses
We're gonna swim like a fish
Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me
My lovely Vera Marie
You planned to leave me cold
But you'll never get your wish
On the 24th of May
I'll gather up your reins
You filled me with a vengeance
And you touched me with your breath
I'm gonna pull you from this dance
You're gonna ride so easily
Oh no more horses horses
We're gonna swim like a fish
Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me
My lovely Vera Marie
I was your victim
I was well deceived
Hell's built on regret
But I love your naked neck
And evil lies that you told me
Could make me believe your two-faced
Because two faces have you
And they're both gonna go
Oh no more horses horses
We're gonna swim like a fish
Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me
True, true confessions
I lied
True, true confessions

In a dark horse town, in the middle of the West
Where Friday takes so long to arrive
Johnny wakes up dreaming, turn's on the radio
Then he jumps up plays his guitar in the mirror
Starts his day with a Rock and Roll pose
Tonight's the night that Susie and he
Are going to a Rock and Roll show
Tonight, I'm gonna see some Rock and Roll
Yeah, my favorite group is playing
Tonight, I'm gonna see some Rock and Roll
Well, it's showtime and he's caught up in the crowd
He hates the crush but he loves the music loud
He reaches out and Susie's disappeared
Now Johnny's standing on a corner after the show
Looking for his Susie dear
But there goes his Susie in the band's limousine
Yeah, well that's the way it goes at these Rock and Roll shows
That's the way it goes, it's Rock and Roll
That's the way it goes, it's Rock and Roll
Now Susie's gone, and Johnny hears the thunder
As he rolls another number and he counts
He counts the times he's felt himself to be the hero
'Cause ever since he was a boy he's heard about adventure
As he looks into the mirror now he knows
He must be the star and play guitar like thunder
Find Susie at his Rock and Roll show
Boy, if I only had a good guitar and a big amp
Boy, it wouldn't be somebody else taking my girl away, tell ya
I know what I should do, and I'll put an ad in the paper
Get a few other guys who want to play as much as I do
Tell ya, I ain't playin' no surf music, I'm gonna play some heavy music
I'm gonna play bad, I'm gonna play loud
I know just what I want it to sound like
It's gonna sound like, it's gonna sound like
This is Don Kirchner and tonight on Don Kirchners rock concert
A new phenomenon in the music world
With six million albums to his credit in just two short years
My good friend, here's Johnny
Now Johnny became a legend in his time
Found it easier to live in pain
Half a hero in a hard-hearted game
Now it's showtime and he's caught up in the flow
He hates the rush but he needs the music so
Still he reaches out but Susie's disappeared
Well, that's the way it goes at these Rock and Roll shows
It's Rock and Roll, that's the way it goes
It's Rock and Roll, that's the way it goes
It's Rock and Roll, that's the way it goes
I come to you in a blue, blue room
By some abuse and some heart
You raise the blinds say, "Let's have light on life
Let's watch it fall apart, let's watch it fall apart"
Night time flowers, evening roses
Bless this garden that never closes
Treat her gently, treat her kind
Tenderloin will last all night
I'm feeling hungry, have another line
So faith is taken up
You raise your eyes, say, "That's just like life
There's never quite enough, there's just never quite enough"
Night time flowers, evening roses
Bless this garden that never closes
Treat her gently, treat her kind
Tenderloin will last all night
I come to you in a blue, blue room
By some abuse and some heart
You raise the blinds say, "Let's have light on life
Let's watch it fall apart, let's watch it fall apart
Did you catch the fever
Flying toward the moon?
Sailing in space to a distant shore
You kind of wondered, what they came here for
We lived days for lovin'
Falling for all we've met
A world gone crazy from the lunacy
The tides kept rising and falling like you and me
Moon crazy, summer of changes
Let the night shine on and on and on and on
Shine on, until the feeling is gone
Dreaming about, what could it be
Summer's embraces, had a hold on me
On the hill they danced 'til dawn
While the video flickered along
But in your heart was an empty need
You just didn't know where the dream would lead
Moon crazy, summer of changes
Let the night shine on and on and on and on
Shine on, shine on
Moon crazy, summer of changes
Let the night shine on and on and on and on
Shine on, until the feeling is gone
Dreaming about, what could it be
Summer's embraces, had a hold on me
Moon crazy, summer of changes
Let the night shine on and on and on and on
Shine on, shine on
Moon crazy, summer of madness
Let the night shine on and on and on and on
Along the world axis
The Empress lay sleeping
To the rhyme of the
Of the, of the star clock
Seven sleepers
Seven sages
Seven ladders to the
To the seventh heaven
Seven stars
Had Ursa Major
Tables turning, turning
And rain maker
While the seven
The visitors
All went, all went
A drumming
Dance a Don Pedro
Do the Don Pedro
Games after death
Night dances 'round
Samedi and Petre in Alchemy
Salute the four quarters
Before I leave your eyes
Twinned in the mirror
Les Mesteres come
End me adoration
Before I leave your eyes
World in the mirror
Waters of amnesia come
Do you know
(Do you know)
Do you know
(Do you know)
Do you know
(Do you know)
Do you know
(Do you know)
The court of Eve
Beneath the Polar Mountain
Rose cross and crosser there
Symbols of the swan
Aerial races
In rotation over
The magical casement
Visions of a parallel world
Dance a Don Pedro
Do the Don Pedro
Games after death
Night dances 'round
Samedi and Petre
In Alchemy
Seven, seven, seven
Seven, seven, seven
Seven, seven, seven
Imaginos, approached the sun
In August in New Hampshire
Singing songs, nobody knew
And stories left undone
See this fish
His scales turned green under such a sun
Such a sun, such a sun
Such a sun, such a sun
Such a sun
A tongue and pale of Texas light
Descended on the border
While the bird called Buzzardo
Rattled the bones, he picked the flesh from
See this fish
His scales turned green under such a sun
Such a sun, such a sun
Such a sun, such a sun
Such a sun
Checking the sign of the Moon fleet
Roll your wheel with mine
Sometimes in the light of day
The truth proves hard to find
Actually this Buzzardo
Was Imaginos in disguise, in disguise
Ooo, Imaginos
Ooo, Imaginos
Ooo, ooo, ooo, Imaginos
Ooo, Imaginos
Ooo, Imaginos
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Imaginos approached the sun
In August in New Hampshire
Singing songs nobody knew
And stories left undone
See this fish
His scales turned green under such a sun
Such a sun, such a sun
Such a sun, such a sun
Such a sun
I'm Buzzardo in Texas, last chance
I'm a pinwheel in Vermont, last chance
And gorge the Bungo Pony
Last chance, last chance, last chance
I'm a rocker a roller and a spinner, too
Below that scene of subterfuge
Last chance, last chance, last chance
Which is
The last chance border
Last chance, last chance, last chance
Last chance, last chance, last chance
On the border
Last chance, last chance, last chance
Last chance, last chance, last chance
On the border
Last chance, last chance, last chance
Last chance, last chance
Lonely teardrops, you been crying
I hear them fall
In the night, the empty night
I hear your song
It goes right through me
It used to move me
Lonely, lonely
Lonely Paris, met a dancer
We did the stroll
Through the night, the empty night
Four years ago
I thought you know me
She gave it to me
Lonely, lonely
I seem to see a rose
I reach out, then it goes
Now, in its thorns, I roam
The sky is gray and I am cold
Lord, I tell you, Lord, I tell you
All I want to do is get back home
Lonely teardrops, we did shoot them
They came on strong
Vials of rain to kill the pain
So far from home
I thought you knew me
You did it to me
Lonely, lonely
Lonely teardrops, I've been cryin'
All week long
Love is willing but the bed is cold
Goodbye, Laurence
I thought I knew you
What good did that do
Lonely, lonely
I seem to see a rose
I reach out, then it goes
Now, in its thorns, I roam
You never know until you know
Lord, I ask you, Lord, I beg you
All I want to do is get back home
Lonely teardrops
Lonely teardrops
Lonely teardrops
Riding the underground, swimmin' in sweat
A rumble above and below, hey, cop don't you know?
The heats on alright
The hot summer day didn't quit for the night
1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in its spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out
Blackened out eyes, scratched on the wall
Stoned out looks from the crowd
The king will not know on the wall it was said
The flash of his cards was sprayed with red, yeah yeah
1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in its spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out
1277 express to, 1277 express to
1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in its spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn, yeah, burn
Your eyes out, your eyes out
My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes
Oh, let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll
Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights
Reins of steel, and it's alright
Cities on flame, with rock and roll
Marshal will buoy, but Fender control
Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll
My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes
Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
What's that in the corner?
It's too dark to see.
What's that voice I'm hearing?
Who's that calling me?
Long ago and far away I heard a voice.
One I heard you sing your song I had no choice.
Terror took control and told me what to say.
Letting loose of fear I finally found the way.
After dark -- I see you
After dark -- I feel you
After dark -- I want you
After dark -- I need you
Of age there is no question,
Death's shadow is undone.
We only need each other
And shelter from the sun.
(Chorus)
After dark -- I need you
After dark -- I want you
After dark -- I feel you
After dark -- I see you
There's no turning back now,
My fate is traced in blood.
I've tasted true salvation:
Your power is my drug
(Chorus)
After dark -- I need you
After dark -- I want you
After dark -- I feel you
After dark -- I see you
After dark -- I touch you
After dark -- I . . .
Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
Poison's in my bloodstream
Poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion
I'll settle for lies
Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do
Is it any wonder that my joke's an iron
And the joke's on you
Experiments that failed too many times
Transformations that were too hard to find
Poison's in my bloodstream
Poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion
I'll settle for lies
Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind
They're trinity acts, a mineral fire
Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind
It's a flaming wonder telepath
Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
Poison's in my bloodstream
Poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion
I'll settle for lies
Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do
Is it any wonder that my joke's an iron
I'm out of my place I'm out of my mind
Totally bent in the big time
There's no place for one of my kind
Scorn behind shades I don't care anyway
Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen
Her world turns around
In my ear the sound of laughter
Swift descent
Dark and mute dreams deceive
The world turns around me
Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen
She came from the dark she came from a dream
All leather and chains the rising queen
Born into the night born into the spotlight
She spread her wings and then she was gone
Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen
Celestial the Queen
The world turns around
In my head the fury laughter
Swift ascent
And then forever it meant nothing
The world turns around me
Celestial the Queen
Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me
Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isn't my way
Home I'll never be
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for givin' the devil his due
And I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time ain't no reason
Got no time to slow
Time everlasting
Time to play B-sides
Time ain't on my side
Time I'll never know
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong and what's right
I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through
And I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
( - Leggatt Bros. - )
Hold me close, don't fear my body. The flesh is weak, in need of touching.
Your hands are hungry for want of knowing.
Your eyes are closed, but still they're showing.
Light the white flags of surrender.
The war is over, the battle's ended.
Like the snowflake in my hand that's melting,
Can't you feel my love?
Can't? Can't you feel my love?
Waiting to be touched? Can't you feel my love?
Like the sky touches the sea, arising, we will be.
Can't you feel my love?
In my arms no fear of falling - we can share my gravity.
See how time will stop forever,
The moment that our eyes do meet.
Light the white flags of surrender.
The war is over, the battle's ended.
Like the snowflake in my hand that's melting,
Can't you feel my love?
Can't? Can't you feel my love?
Waiting to be touched? Can't you feel my love?
Like the moon touches the sun, an eclipse then we'll be gone.
Can't you feel my love?
Capture my senses.
Ravage my perception.
Take me! Take me! Away! Away! Love!
Hold me close, don't fear my body. The flesh is weak, in need of touching.
Your hands are hungry for want of knowing.
Your eyes are closed, but still they're showing.
Light the white flags of surrender.
The war is over, the battle's ended.
Like the snowflake in my hand that's melting,
Can't you feel my love?
Can't? Can't you feel my love?
Waiting to be touched? Can't you feel my love?
Like the sky touches the sea, arising, we will be.
Can't you feel my love?
Love, can't you feel my love?
Can't you feel my love? Can't you feel my love?
Love! Love! Can't you feel my love?
Love! Love! Can't you feel my love?
Love! Love! Can't you feel my love?
Love! Love! Can't you feel my love?
Can't you? Can't you feel my love?
You see me now a veteran
of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
and far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure that there's
anything left of me
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh please don't let theses shakes go on
You ask me why I'm weary
why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
and there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever
I can't say if we're
ever gonna to be free
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh please don't let theses shakes go on
(instrumental)
You see me now a veteran
of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
and my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons
and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say
that this is victory?
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
and been sliding into hell
Oh please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Feeling easy on the outside
But not so funny on the inside
Feel the sound, pray for rain
For this is the night we ride
This ain't the garden of eden
There ain't no angels above
And things ain't like what they used to be
And this ain't the summer of love
Lock all your doors from the outside
The key will dangle by the inside
You may begin to understand
That this is the night we ride
This ain't the garden of eden
There ain't no angels above
And things ain't like what they used to be
And this ain't the summer of love
On the night we ride...this ain't the summer of love.
This ain't the garden of eden
There ain't no angels above
And things ain't like what they used to be
And this ain't the summer of love
This ain't the summer, this ain't, this ain't

You can have my autograph
I think I'll sign it love to you
But should I sign it just for you
Stairway to the stars, I think I'll write good health to you
Stairway to the stars, we got better things to do
You can drive my motorcar
It's insured to thirty thou
Kill them all if you wish
Stairway to the stars, I think I'll write good health to you
Stairway to the stars, we got better things to do
You can have my autograph
I think I'll sign it good health to you
Upon the cast, your broken arm
Stairway to the stars, I think I'll write good health to you
Stairway to the stars, I hope you heal up real quick
Stairway to the stars...
How could I fool you I rest and assure you
Take it off from here and put you on the line, yeah
Your back to the pistol and iron bullets whistle
Landscape's open and the world is mine, it's still mine
OD'd on life, life itself
OD'd on life, life itself
OD'd on life itself
Writings appear on the wall
The curtains part and landscape fall
There the writings done in blood
Yeah, like a mummy's inscription and a bat wing tongue
Well then the mouth of the cave will open up wide
Wide as the world that's mine, it's mine, it's
Still mine
So don't you fear the trade in life
Life loves force but force loves life
This wedding by heaven was made up in hell
With the victim as bride and life, life itself
He cast a grim shadow
Through the busy street
Said, he was a junkie
And he punctuated his walk with a gun
Motiveless murder
The papers scream
The cops all said
The crowd was iced by the sight
Oh baby, don't it make you feel so bad
Dark clouds are over the street
After what I read, I can hardly feel my heart
My heart beat
Oh baby, don't it make you feel so bad
Dark clouds are over the street
After what I read, I can hardly feel my heart
My heart beat
Down the subway stairs
After him they leapt
An echo snap and scream of fire
The hot pursuit was done
For the last time, he felt the light
And gave up his last fight
Oh baby, don't it make you feel so bad
Dark clouds are over the street
After what I read, I can hardly feel my heart
My heart beat
Cornwall and the harbor
Where witches went mad more than once
And until this day in dreams at least
The lighthouse at Lost Christabel
Squat and hugely tilts upon the strand
Where Granddad's house was built
And having stood the test of time
The starry gale the bloody tide
Granddad's house though gaped with hooks
And filled with books
Could stand no more until a certain prophecy
Once read now stood, before the world fulfilled
Now of these books in Granddad's keep
Some of them were new but mostly they were old
And the oldest was a scroll, a prophecy that read
When the riddle begins the story will end
August, the First 1892 and in the guise of destiny
Granddad quit Cornwall, "I'm a captain of a ship
My ship is charmed and called Plutonia"
Stories on land, storms at sea 'tween 1892 and '93
When Granddad sailed for Mexico
Ships charmed and ordinary
Sailed the glide path to the sun
And when the sun proved false
As it always does
Some of them would be lost
And some would sail back home
It was no star but a magna of illusion
I mean by that, the mirror found
In the chamber of jade
Grown like a seed, deep within the ground
The mirror found by one man
So on and off again
He sailed the Europe's rim
On and off, off and on
Until his time had come
Through tears and smiles, the last domain
The rods of broken crystal
On and off and off again until his time had come
Late to the story that had been
But early to the riddle not yet begun
August, the First 1893
The charmed ship Plutonia
Sailed like a ray into Cornwall
And none too soon it seems
That night the Captain's granddaughter
Would celebrate her birthday
"I've come a long way", said the Captain
"From Lost Christabel this night"
"Accompanied by my dog familiar
To blast your rafters with my surprise
Granddaughter, it's a foreign mirror
Taken from the jungle by crime"
Stories on land, storms at sea
'Tween 1892 and '93
When Granddad sailed for Mexico
When tables collapse
And floors have filled
And the party's over, it's all over
Sea-dogs and rockers will dwell on doom
I've warped the stuff of ground
What seems to be is not
Behind closed eyes
Realize your sight
Mine, granddaughter, proves a surprise
More light than sun
More dark than night
Kick out the jams brothers and sisters.
Well I feel pretty good
And I guess that
I can't get crazy now baby
Cause we all got in tune
In the dressing room
Yeah hazy now baby
Well I know how you like it child
Hot, sweet and tight
The girls can't stand it
When you do it right
When your'e up on the stand
And let me kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jams
Come on kick'em out
Well I'm starting to sweat
You know my shirt's all wet
What a feeling
And the sound that abounds
And resounds and rebounds
Off the ceiling
Yeah you gotta have it baby
You can't do without
'Cause when you get that feeling
You gotta sound 'em out
Put that mike in my hand
And let me kick out the jams
Yes! Kick out the jams
Com on kick'em out
You know I got to get 'em up
You know I can't
Get enough Miss Mackenzie
Yeah the sounds in my brain
You know it drives me insane
With the frenzy
Well the whailin' guitars
And the crash of the drums
Make me wanna keep-a-rockin'
Till the morning comes
Let me be who I am
And let me kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jaaams
Maybe I?ll see you again baby, and maybe I won?t
Maybe you?ve bought your ticket, gone back to Detroit
Aeroplanes make strangers of us all
Give us distance, much too easily
Jim says, "Some destinies should not be delivered"
But you and I've seen now baby, that still they are
Winnin', it makes losers of us all
?Cause the dice roll so indifferently
Well, I?ll wrap myself in cities I travel
I?ll wrap myself in dreams
I?ll wrap myself in solitude
But I wish I could wrap myself in thee
Tonight it?s hot, without you tomorrow?ll be cold
Winter will come along driven by snow
Love, it makes strangers of us all
When we part oh, so thoughtlessly
Well, I?ll wrap myself in cities I travel
I?ll wrap myself in dreams
I?ll wrap myself in solitude
But I wish I could wrap myself in thee
Once we breathed the breath of sweet surrender
Pure, pure Arab air filled our atmosphere
But pride, it makes stars of us all
Until we fall for everyone to see
So I?ll wrap myself in cities I travel
I?ll wrap myself in dreams
I?ll wrap myself in stranger?s arms
But I wish I could wrap myself in thee
I?ll wrap myself in cities I travel
I?ll wrap myself in dreams
I?ll wrap myself in solitude
In the presence of another world
You guess the things unguessed
In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness
In the promise of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done
Your master, he's a monster
He will come on a bridge of paper
Inscribed with a hundred names of God
But he can count one more
The curse of life eternal written on the door
Your master, he's a monster
Your master, he's a monster
Your master, he's a monster
In the presence of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done
In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness
Your master, your master
Your master
Your master, your master
Your master, your master
Your master
Your master
Your master
Chant:
In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We're going through it
Nothing to it
All you've got to do it is do it
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
I go you go you go me go
Everywhere that we go we'll be
Going though the motions -1,2,3,4
Going though the motions
Going though the motions
I don't really care
Cause you're going nowhere
You've got nothing but fear in your eyes
You're leading me on
But you can be anyone
Cause I know you'll be gone when I rise
And we're going though the motions
Going though the motions
Going though the motions
Going though the motions
Staying with you
Gave us something to do
I always thought it was truth for awhile
You're loving your lies
You're so thinly disguised
You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried
And we're going though the motions
Going though the motions
Going though the motions
Going though the motions
To thee I'll delicate this photograph
I'll even sign it love to you, again
And when it's faded and forgotten in some book
You'll sometimes look
You'll sometimes look
You'll sometimes look
It's a game it's a game
No let's call it a shame
Cause there's no one to blame
It's a pain
You were a friend for a day
So don't cry if I say
That you got what you want, it's Ok
Going though the motions
Going though the motions
She went down to her house by the water
To hide herself from his grasp
He went down to the water to find her
To consummate their love at last
Then the lightning flashing
(Lightning, flashing, crashing)
Fireworks shooting off in her head
(In her head)
The earth was shaking
(Earth, shaking, quaking)
Fireworks pouring down on her head
(On her head)
Only sound she heard was
(Sound, lovely word)
Fireworks like a charm
(Anointed)
Blazing red
She went down to escape from her prison
To free herself from her fear
All those years up to here with tradition
And opportunity so near
Then the lightning flashing
(Lightning, flashing, crashing)
Fireworks shooting off in her head
(In her head)
The earth was shaking
(Earth, shaking, quaking)
Fireworks pouring down on her head
(On her head)
Only sound she heard was
(Sound, lovely word)
Fireworks like a charm
(Anointed)
Blazing red
She went down on a snow white pillow
To cast herself in the looking glass
He knew the time had finally come now
To break the spell they shared at last
Then the lightning flashing
(Lightning, flashing, crashing)
Fireworks shooting off in her head
(In her head)
The earth was shaking
(Earth, shaking, quaking)
Fireworks pouring down on her head
(On her head)
Only sound she heard was
(Sound, lovely word)
Fireworks like a charm
(Anointed)
Then the lightning flashing
(Lightning, flashing, crashing)
Fireworks shooting off in her head
(In her head)
The earth was shaking
(Earth, shaking, quaking)
Fireworks pouring down on her head
(On her head)
Only sound she heard was
(Sound, lovely word)
Fireworks like a charm
( - G. Winter - )
At the stroke of midnight staring at the phone
For the millionth time I'm all alone
I'm the guy she turns to when her lovers leave
I'm the wild card she's got up her sleeve
But she don't look at me
With eyes on fire glowing like coals in the night
Hungry eyes burning with love and desire
I'm like a long lost brother, I'm closer than a friend
The only one on whom she can depend
She thinks I'm sweet and gentle, she thinks the world of me
But late at night I'm not the one she needs
She never looks at me
With eyes on fire glowing like coals in the night
Hungry eyes burning with love and desire
Don't you don't you see I'm cryin' out loud
Can't she tell I need her now?
She never looks at me
With eyes on fire glowing like coals in the night
Hungry eyes burning with love and desire
With eyes on fire glowing like coals in the night
Hungry eyes burning with love and desire
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind the sun or the rain (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared (saying don't be afraid)
Come on baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Blood of bat, tail of newt
Wing of metal, bone of steel
Vial of health, flask of pain
Staff of life or poison rain
If he really thinks we're the devil
Then let's send him to hell
Fast food, fast cars
Fast women, movie stars
Time of trouble, time of trial
Turn to memphis, pray awhile
If he really thinks we're the devil
Then let's send him to hell
Anxious mothers, bums in the street
Jackals in waistcoats, men in sheets
Purple mountains, waves of grain
Grace of god, thy will be done
If he really thinks we're the devil
I?ve lived upon the edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
By Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
When time gets slow and rivers freeze
I think you?d know enough
To call in touch that outer frame
The inner gain, a sullen gulch
Which opens up on the way to Blindman?s Bluff
A suburb now of River Roads
Where quandary and sublime improve
The sight whose imagery is sometimes that of fear
I?ve lived upon the edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
By Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Oh, Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
When time gets slow and rivers freeze
I think you?d know enough
To shut the gates of walled town walls
And putting up some good rum punch
Forget the way to Blindman?s Bluff
So packed with eyes that glow like coals
And pointing towards the North
Oh, my boat left New Orleans in 1829
Hey, hey, hey, hey
My destination is a secret
And the doctrine is soft
And just between the verse and me
It?s a place where you can see
Lost, last and luminous
Scored to sky yet never found
Relics of jewels and ant-track tools
A true ghost dance, rehearsal ground
I?ve lived upon the edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
I?ve lived upon the edge of chance
For twenty years or more
And this is what my friends all mean
By Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Oh, Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
Del Rio?s song, oh, Del Rio
( - Larry Gottlieb - Jason Scanlon - )
Tomorrow soon turns into yesterday.
Everything we see just fades away.
There's sky and sand where mountains used to be.
Time drops by a second to eternity.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must!
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
There's laughter where I used to see your tears.
It's all done with mirrors, have no fears.
There's nothing pure or sacred in our time.
The nights we spent together are no crime.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must!
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Like marble statues always flowing lay,
From castles built in silence, let us play.
Even though our skulls rot in our flesh.
We can build a laser, tear the mesh.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must.
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
I've been searchin', searchin', searchin' for Celine'
I've been searchin', searchin' for her company
Find her where she's workin'
Find her where she hides
I know why she's cursin'
She knows why I lie
I've been searchin', searchin', searchin' for Celine
I've been searchin', searchin' for her company
Find her where she's sleepin'
I know why she's tired
I know why she's cursin'
She knows why I lie
She said, love is like a gun
And in the hands of someone like you
I think it'd kill
But oh, what a thrill, oh, what a thrill
No oh!
I've been talkin', talkin', talkin' in my sleep
I've been talkin', talkin', talkin' to Celine
Talkin' 'bout your love, talkin' 'bout your love
Talkin' 'bout your love, do you know what I said?
I said, love is like a gun
And in the hands of someone like you
I think it'd kill
But oh, what a thrill oh, what a thrill
They held their heads with laughs of pain
They'd learned from men who'd just refrain
From glancing at a mirror's face
Seven screaming diz-busters
Who lurk behind the rose
Cast iron for a bloodstream
And ice behind their eyes
On each and all those holy nights
When duster's dust becomes the sale
And Lucifer the light, the light
They're long so long this time of year
When stars be crossed by twirling fear
You don't suppose I'd prove surprised
Well seven screaming diz-busters
Should go the route and die
Without that warmth they've learned to crave
With hardened smiles and evil signs (ah, well)
Bury me near the secret cove
So they'll not know the way
Bury me round behind the rose
So they'll not rile my grave
I'll not reveal whose name's still lost
Well their laughs of pain, Ah, ha, ha, ha!
And their harder smiles...
And their rigid arms...
And their evil signs...
The longer days and the longer nights
Yeah they're longer...
They're longer still
On each and all those holy nights
When duster's dust becomes the sale
And Lucifer the light
Lucifer the light
Lucifer the light
Lucifer the light
Lucifer the light
Lucifer the light Oh, the light
Lucifer the light I can't stand the light
Lucifer the light I can't stand it now
Lucifer the light No
Lucifer the light Can't stand the light
Lucifer the light
Lucifer the light Can't stand the light
Lucifer the light Can't stand the light
Lucifer the light
Lucifer the light Can't stand the light
Lucifer the light Oh no!
Lucifer the light Aahhh
Lucifer the light
Lucifer the light I can't I can't
Lucifer the light No
Lucifer the light Can't stand it
Lucifer the light Can't stand it, no
Lucifer the light Can't stand it
Lucifer the light Can't
Lucifer the light Can't I can't I can't can't can't can't stand it
Lucifer the light
Lucifer the light Just can't stand the light
Lucifer the light one
Lucifer the light two
Lucifer the light three
Lucifer the light four
Lucifer the light five
Lucifer the light six
That endless light
Casts only one shadow
The cold grey light
By the penthouse on the ghetto
Kill the other witness
Knife plunged to the hilt
The unforgiven dawn
Will only spotlight your guilt
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
You call up Emmy
You've rehearsed the lines
But she knows about Judy
She knows you're lying
Put your foot in it, yeah
It's getting caught
Leave it in long enough, yeah
It starts to rot
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
No matter what you did
No matter who you are
In the fading light
From a middle aged star
You've seen every blemish
Every sign of age
And it's useless to whine
And it's useless to rage
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
Cold grey light of dawn
You can't lie to yourself anymore
In the cold grey light of dawn
You can't hide the truth
Hide the truth anymore
Hide the truth
Anymore
By silverfish imperetrix, whose incorrupted eye
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
By those who see with their eyes close
They know me by my black telescope
Your green tree mantle from which these things derive
A lens of quartz and refract spoke that crystal lens
Whose crystal rope once bound me to those
Doctors and wives
When my vision was oh, so cloudy
And I saw things through two eyes
I am a sailor on the raging depths
And I know a thing or two
Back to the corner mates and over the side
Yes I know a thing or two
By silverfish imperetrix, whose incorrupted eye
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
By those who see with their eyes closed
you'll know me by my black telescope
Before my great conversion when the ridge was closed
Before my visit to the workshop of telescopes
By silverfish imperetrix, whose incorrupted eye
sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
By those who see with their eyes closed
Flights of black horseman
Soar o'er the churches
Pursued by an army of birds in the rain
None of them can see the clouds
The polished wings don't care
Animal waves through the hazy
Dreams full of pain
Wings wetted down
Stumbling on the ground
It all turns around
In the end, the end, the end
The voices sound deadly
Sometimes I hear
Echoes of empires
Spread throughout the sky
Wings wetted down
Stumbling on the ground
It all turns around
In the end, the end, the end
Flights of black horseman
Soar o'er the churches
Pursued by an army of birds in the rain
Wings wetted down
It all turns around
It all turns around
I open my eyes
From a dreamless night
With a sense of dread
You could cut with a knife
So I'm thinking that
Maybe I killed somebody
You never know - you never know when
You might have killed somebody
Veins in my eyeballs
Damage that I've done
Veins on the stairway
Veins in my skull
I visit my friend
We have a fight
I'm drinking his whiskey
I'm wanting his wife
Then the image goes black
Did I kill somebody?
'Cause there ain't no clue, there's no clue
That I killed somebody
Veins in my eardrum
Banging at my door
Veins in my brainwaves
Veins on the floor
I get the shivers
And I've got the shakes
People screaming my name
Like there's no mistake
Can't believe it's true
Did I kill somebody?
But I just don't know, I don't know
Did I kill somebody?
Veins on the sidewalk
Veins know the score
Veins in my mind, oh
In a purple vision
Many thousand years ago
I saw the silent stranger
Walk the earth alone
Twenty-seven faces
With their eyes turned to the sky
I've got a camera
And an airtight alibi
I know they're out there
We see them coming
Faster than the speed of light
They greet us in the dead of the night
Somewhere, someday, someone
They'll be light and sound
They'll alight on the ground
On which we stand
Somewhere, someday, someone
Will help us to survive
They're gonna show us hell
And bring us back alive
Well, I'm no poet, but I can't be fooled
The lies don't count, the whispers do
I hear the whispers on the wind
They say the earth has fallen due
We run in circles
Our days are numbered
Every night I look away
To the heavens and I pray
Come to us
Come to us
Our lights are dim
Our roads are crumbling
And we don't know what to do
We're sick and tired
And dying to meet you
'Cause we bit off more than
She's as beautiful as a foot
She's as beautiful as a foot
She heard somebody say, the other day
Didn't believe it when he bit into her face
Didn't believe it when he bit into her face
It tasted just like a fallen arch
She's as beautiful as a foot
She's as beautiful as a foot
She heard somebody say, the other day
Don't put your tongue on the bloody tooth mark place
Don't put your tongue on the bloody tooth mark place
Her face changing now, a guernsey cow
She's as beautiful, oh so beautiful, beautiful as a foot
There walked a lonely man
Silent, mute, the only man
Not knowing how not knowing why
Was he the sole survivor
Why should he be alive
Breathing still while others died?
And the only question
Why was he the sole survivor?
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Wind blew across the sand
He stood alone, he had no plan
And with the last rays of the sun
He screamed aloud began to run
In his tears he sees his face
"I am the end of the human race
When I'm gone there'll be no trace
For I'm the sole survivor"
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
One night when years had passed
The sky shook from a fiery blast
And there a starship, saved at last
To come rescue this survivor
They beckoned him inside
But only man, he would not ride
Instead he found a place to hide
For he's the sole survivor
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Now is the time the moon is in alignment
With the unknown zodiac, the untold sign
Of the fiery maniac within each breast
Awaits a stirring irridescent whirring
Of a six eyed god whose wings beat
In a time so odd, so very odd
And we're all lost, all of us blessedly lost
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Exactly when the world is not expecting it
Exactly when we're sure of ourselves
That's exactly when the old gods return
And sweep our cities back into hell
Now is the time that the old gods return
Now is the time that water begins to burn
Now is the time that the apes take wing
And we recognize them from that Oz thing
And we realize it was a prophecy
We realize it was a prophecy
Yeah the old gods laugh, it amuses them
The old gods laugh
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Exactly when the world is not expecting it
Exactly when we're sure of ourselves
That's exactly when the old gods return
Amd sweep our cities...
And sweep our cities back into hell
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever and ever
Forever forever and ever
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return
Now is the time the old gods return

I went down last night with a tattoo madame
to a nude dagger fantasy domain
wrapped in hell, i lost my breath... whoa!
chest to stimulating chinese breast
Grisly smiles that don't flake off
carny colored demons leering
vampire photo suckin' the skin
vampire vampire
Seeding the night at the inker's parlor
flesh permabrand, pricked for a dollar
her wrist, surreal, a heart and flying skull
lettered 'life and love pass swiftly'
Grisly smiles that don't flake off
carny colored demons leering
vampire photo suckin' the skin
vampire vampire
Grisly smiles that don't flake off
carny colored demons leering

I used to lie in my bed
Sleep wouldn't come
Thinkin' 'bout things that they said
They led me on
All of the fancy ladies
Oh they could talk and talk
I shot for the highest star
But I aimed too high
You wanted a rich rock star
But he made you cry
Now that we have each other
We can laugh about it
You're not the one I was lookin' for but
You're the one for me (you're the one)
I'm not the one you were lookin' for but
You can't go wrong with me
You're not the one I was lookin' for but
You're oh so good for me
Now I can't make it without
I can't go on
We can make beautiful music
And prove them wrong
We've been put down by the best
And now we laugh about it, ya
You're not the one I was lookin' for but
You're the one for me (you're the one)
I'm not the one you were lookin' for but
You can't go wrong with me
You're not the one I was lookin' for but
You're oh so good for me
You're oh so good for me (You're so good)
You're oh so good for me (You're so good)
With satan's hog no pig at all, and the weather getting dry
We'll head south from altamont in a cold blooded travelled trance
So clear the road my bully boys and let some thunder pass
We're pain, we're steel, a plot of knives,
We're transmaniacon MC
Behind the pantry, behind the tree, the ghouls adopt that child
Whose name resounds forever, whose name resounds on terror
And I'm no fool to call that hog, cause man I remember
Those who did resign their souls
To transmaniacon MC
And surely we did offer up behind that stage at dawn
Beers and barracuda, reds and monocaine
Pure nectar of antipathy behind that stage at dawn
To those who would resign their souls
To transmaniacon MC
Cry the cable, cry the word, unknown terror's here
And won't you try this tasty snack, behind the scenes or but the back
Which was the stage at altamont, my humble boys of listless power:
We're pain, we're steel, a plot of knives
(Come on come on) to the station of night
(Come on come on) everybody's waiting
(Come on come on) with the signal in sight
(Come on come on) there's a new tune playing
(Are you ready to rock?) Yes, I am
(Are you ready to rock?) Yes, I am
(Are you ready to rock?) Ah, yeah
(Who will rock with you?) oh, woman will you?
(Come on come on) to the cities of night
(Come on come on) everybody's praying
(Come on come on) for the wonder of light
(Come on come on) there's a new day breaking
(Are you ready to rock?) Yes, I am
(Are you ready to rock?) Yes, I am
(Are you ready to rock?) Ah, yeah
(Who will rock with you?) oh, woman will you?
I ain't (ah) gonna catch those countdown blues

You hear the hounds awailin'
As if the mountains groan
You hear the lonesome echo, the telltale clack of stones
You thought you'd get away, but you're never quite alone
You hear the hiss of rattler, maracas on his tail
You hear the lion replyin' to the stalker on your trail
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
You hear the darkness weeping
For those who fall tonight
That night you lay beside her, for once you almost slept
Until her slim blade glimmered near got you 'fore you leapt
Wish you could leave her livin but that's like guns and rust
You don't want it on your gun, it's just like you and trust
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
Somewhere, there's a refuge
Somewhere, a place to rest
Somewhere, there's a lover
Someday you'll pass the test
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
One step ahead of the devil one step
One step ahead of the man one step
You're one step ahead of evil
And you can only run as far as you can
And you can only run as far as you can
Rains of fish and rains of frogs
Arias sung by mongrel dogs
Whispers from the desert stones
Divinations in lizard bones
Something beyond is reaching out to you
Something beyond
Is reaching out
Yeah
Discs that stretch into cigars
Angels buy drinks in skid row bars
Virgin mary winks from the sky
Trees twist into secret signs
Something beyond is reaching out to you
Something beyond
Is reaching out
Strange We think our lives are real
Strange Amusement parks, our business deals
Strange Stranger still our empty lives
TV replacing kids and wife
Strange Lives consumed with soapy talk
Lives lived in fear of taking a walk
Oh the real world is bizarre enough for me
Oh the real world is bizarre enough for me
We're drifting in the waiting room
Call it real, but call me real soon
The world is living Gaia's at hand
Hear her laughing in earthquake land
Something beyond is reaching out to you
Something beyond
Is reaching out
Something beyond is reaching out to you
Something beyond
Is reaching out
It was a wet night
And the other guy
Was lubricated with a pint of Jack
His truck hit
Jimmy's chevy
With a sound like a thunder crack
I was working late but I felt it happen
I knew that my brother was laid low
I waited for the call
And then the damn call came
And I knew what I knew and didn't want to know
Live for me
Live for me
Live twice as big
Love twice as long
Work twice as hard
Play all of your cards
Live for me
Live for me
Burn twice as bright
Three times as long
But brother, don't do no one wrong
Beth thought he would make it through the winter
I never really thought so myself
The dark spirit was always hoverin' nearer
And I knew in my heart there was just no help
When he called me to the bed
Took my hand to say goodbye
He said he wouldn't blame nobody
Said he wouldn't ask the Lord why
And when he passed on
A March wind blew
Sun drew away a veil of cloud
We buried him smiling
We buried him deep
And I could hear him sayin' right out loud
Live for me
Live for me
Live twice as big
Love twice as long
Work twice as hard
Play all of your cards
Live for me
Live for me
Burn twice as bright
Three times as long
But brother, don't do no one wrong
Showtime...
Showtime...
People tell me I'm not getting younger in this place
The other guy in this room I'm sick of his face
And there's a guy who's watching me, it really is a drag
Hassling me on my way to work making license tags
But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here...
Showtime...
Showtime...
Eight long years to do, I've just finished two
These walls are a little bit tight
I'd rather be with you
Good behavior and I'll be out on parole
Or maybe I'll bust outta here, I'm losing self control
But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here...
Well i was young and in love, I pulled the perfect crime
You blew the whistle on me baby, and now I'm doing time
I guess you never loved me, you used me like a tool
And that guy out there with you, must think that I'm a fool
But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here
