1. _ Miranda
pre>e d
Do you have a problem,
E d
Would you like someone to solve them,
E d b7
Would you like someone to share in your misery?
E a g a g
Now, i don't know the answer, but i know a flamenco dancer
A g b7
Who will dance for you if you will dance for me
Chorus:
E a e
Her name's miranda
F#m b7
She's a rudolph valentino fan
F#m b7
And she doesn't claim to understand
A d e
She bakes brownies for the boys in the band.
Early sunday morning
When the sermon lines are forming
And saturday night is the memories that it gave.
She's busy in the pantry, far away from elmer gantry
Who is busy baking souls that he may save.
Everybody's soul but miranda (chorus)
The dice of death are calling
While the truck of time is falling
By the thumb stuck out on the highway of the years.
The tollgate at the turnpike is ignored by those who hitch-hike
And the howard johnson food is made of fear
But not miranda (chorus)
The sun burnt skin is peeling
On the dotors who are healing
And the license plates are laughing on the car.
The pain is so exciting
And everyone's inviting
You to look upon their operation scars.
But not miranda (chorus)
The condiments are clashing
While commercial planes are crashing
And the music of the evening is so sweet
Now fully in agreement
Oh, their feet have found the cement
And they all believe the signs are on the street
Her name's miranda (chorus)
In the bar we're gin and scotching
While the fbi is watching
They are tape recording every other word
The bartender is bleeding
Pardon me, i just was leaving
As another clever voice repeats absurd
But not miranda (chorus)
(repeat first verse)

2. _ Flower Lady
pre>g c g c g g c g
Millionaires and paupers walk the hungry streets
C g d
Rich and poor companions of the restless beat
Bm c
Strangers in a foreign land
Bm c
Strike a match with trembling hand
Bm em c
Learn too much to ever understand
D c d g c g
But nobody's buying flowers from the flower lady
Lover's quarrel, snarl away their happiness
Kissed crumble in a web of lonliness
It's written by the poison pen
Voices break before they bend
The door is slammed
It's over, once again
But nobody's buying flowers from the flower lady
Poets agonize, they cannot find the words
And the stone stares at the sculptor asks "are you absurd?"
The painter paints his brushes back
Through the canvas runs a crack
Portrait of the pain never answers back
But nobody's buying flowers from the flower lady
Soldiers, disillusioned, come home from the war
Sarcastic students tell them not to fight no more
And they argue through the night
Black is black and white is white
Walk away both knowing they are right
But nobody's buying flowers from the flower lady
Smoke dreams of escaping souls are drifting by
Dull the pain of living as they slowly die
Smiles change into a sneer
Washed away by whiskey tears
In the quicksand of their mind they disappear
Still nobody's buying flowers from the flower lady
Feeble, aged, people almost to their knees
Complain about the present using memories
Never found their pot of gold
Wrinkled hands pound weary holes
Each line screams out you're old, you're old, you're old
But nobody's buying flowers from the flower lady
And the flower lady hobbles home without a sale
Tattered shreds of petals leave a fading trail
Not a pause to hold a rose
Even she no longer knows
The lamp goes out the evening now is closed
And nobody's buying flowers from the flower lady

3. _ Cross My Heart
pre>a
I don't know
But it seems that every single dream's
Bm
Painted pretty pictures in the air
D e
And it tumbles in despair
F#m
And it starts to bend
G a
Until by the end its a nightmare
Bm e a f#m
I'm gonna give all i've got to give
A f#m c g a
Cross my heart, and i hope to live
I don't know
But it's true, so many things you do
Please you so they leave feeling warm
It's the calm before the storm
For the habit grows and before you know it you're deformed
I'm gonna give all i've got to give
Cross my heart, and i hope to live
I don't know
But i see that every thing is free
When you're young and treasures you can take
But the bridge is gonna break
You reach the end screaming
"it's all been a mistake"
I'm gonna give all i've got to give
Cross my heart, and i hope to live
I don't know
But it seems that every single dream's
Painted pretty pictures in the air
Then it tumbles in despair
And it starts to bend
Until by the end its a nightmare
I'm gonna give all i've got to give
Cross my heart, and i hope to live

4. _ The Party
pre>
G c g
The fire breathing rebels arrive at the party early,
C d
Their khaki coats are hung in the closet near the fur.
C d g -em
Asking handouts from the ladies, while they criticize the lords.
E d g em
Boasting of the murder of the very hands that pour.
C d g em
And the victims learn to giggle, for at least they are not bored.
Am d
And my shoulders had to shrug
Am
As i crawl beneath the rug
D g
And retune my piano.
The hostess is enormous, she fills the room with perfume,
She meets the guests and smothers them with greetings.
And she asks "how are you" as she offers them a drink,
The countess of the social grace, who never seems to blink.
And she promises to talk to you, if you promise not to think.
And my shoulders had to shrug, as i crawled beneath the rug
And retuned my piano.
The beauty of the hour is blazing in the present,
She surrounds herself with those who would surrender.
Floating in the flattery she's a trophy-prize, caressed.
Protected by a pretty face, sometimes cursed, sometimes blessed.
And she's staring down their desires, while they're staring down her dress.
And my shoulders had to shrug, etc.
The egos shine like lightbulbs, so bright you cannot see them,
Blind each other blinder than a sandbox.
All the fury of an argument, holding back their yawns,
A challenge shakes the chandliers, the selfish swords are drawn.
To the loser go the hangups, to the victor go the hangers on.
And my shoulders had to shrug, etc.
They travel to the table, the host is served for supper,
And they pass each other for salt and pepper.
And the conversation sparkles as their wits are dipped in wine,
Dinosaurs on a diet, on each other they will dine.
Then they pick their teeth and they squelch a belch saying:
"darling you tasted divine."
And my shoulders had to shrug, etc.
The wallflower is waiting, she hides behind composure.
She'd love to dance and prays that no one asks her.
Then she steals a glance at lovers while her fingers tease her hair.
And she marvels at the confidence of those who hide their fears.
Then her eyes are closed as she rides away with a foreign legionaire.
And my shoulders had to shrug, etc.
Romeo is reeling, counting notches on his thighbone,
Searching for one hundred and eleven.
And he's charming as a child as he leads them to the web,
Seducing queens and gypsy girls in the boudoir of his head.
Then he wraps himself with a tablecloth and pretends he is a bed.
And my shoulders had to shrug, etc.
The party must be over, even the losers are leaving.
But just one doubt is nagging at my caustic mind:
So i snuck up close behind me and i gave myself a kiss,
And i led myself to the mirror to expose what i had missed.
There i saw a laughing maniac who was writing songs like this.
And my shoulders had to shrug, etc.

5. _ I've Had Her
pre>
G c g c g
The night air is inviting you to walk out on the trail
Em
You will not fail
Am d
You will not fail
G c g c g
And by the beach a lady sails a ship without a sail
Em
And you reach out for her
Am d
And you reach out for her
C d
But, i've had her
C d
I've had her
G
She's nothing
Down the cliffs you clamber and you tumble to the shore
The warm waves roar
The warm waves roar
And on the reef a mermaid siren screams one perfume more
And she shouts to you
Through the foam she shouts to you
But, i've had her
I've had her
She's nothing
The players at the party are prepared to take a chance
They drop their pants
They drop their pants
In the corner, she's so crystaline no one dares to ask a dance
And she calls out to you
And she calls out to you
But, i've had her
I've had her
She's nothing
In the prison of your broken bed you dribble in a dream
And find a queen
And find a queen
But your sleep is sadly stolen by the face that is a stream
That's flowing out to you
She's flowing out to you
But, i've had her
I've had her
She's nothing
The vision of the seven veils are racing down the road
Signs are slow
The signs are slow
But beauty is the mistress and the beauty you've been told
You'd speed the route for her
You'd speed the route for her
But, i've had her
I've had her
She's nothing
The fog has changed the city to a friendly frightened fawn
The shades are drawn
The shades are drawn
To posess her misty madness you would gladly duel the dawn
And fade out to her
And fade out to her
But, i've had her
I've had her
She's nothing
The circus clown, he hides a tear beneath his pained smile
And charms a child
And charms a child
While the dancing girls and prancing horse blows kisses down the aisle
You'd roll about for her
You'd roll about for her
But, i've had her
I've had her
She's nothing
All alone, the flaming field, your fairy love is spread
Your time has fled
Your time has fled
Now the only way to touch her is the gun beside your head
Now there's now doubt for her
Now there's now doubt for her
But, i've had her
I've had her
She's nothing

6. _ Pleasures Of The Harbor
pre>
E - a b7
And the ship sets the sail
G#m
They've lived the tale
C#m f#m
To carry to the shore
A6 e
Straining at the oars
G#7 c#m
Or staring from the rail
E -a b7
And the sea bids farewell
G#m
She waves in swells
C#m f#m
And sends them on their way
A6 e
Time has been her pay
G#7 c#m
And time will have to tell
A g#m
Soon your sailing will be over
D e b c#m
Come and take the pleasures of the har - bor
And the anchor hits the sand
The hungry hands
Have tied them to the port
The hour will be short
For leisure on the land
And the girls scent the air
They seem so fair
With paint on their face
Soft is their embrace
To lead them up the stairs
Soon your sailing will be over
Come and take the pleasures of the harbor
In the room dark and dim
Touch of skin
He asks her of her name
She answers with no shame
And not a sense of sin
Until the fingers draw the blinds
Sip of wine
The cigarette of doubt
The candle is blown out
The darkness is so kind
Soon your sailing will be over
Come and take the pleasures of the harbor
And the shadows frame the light
Same old sight
Thrill has blown away
Now all alone they lay
Two strangers in the night
Till his heart skips a beat
He's on his feet
To shipmates he must join
She's counting up the coins
He's swallowed by the street
Soon your sailing will be over
Come and take the pleasures of the harbor
In the bar hangs a cloud
The whiskey's loud
There's laughter in their eyes
The lonely in disguse
Are clinging to the crowd
And the bottle fills the glass
The haze is fast
He's trembling for the taste
Of passion gone to waste
In memories of the past
Soon your sailing will be over
Come and take the pleasures of the harbor
In the alley, red with rain
Cry of pain
For love was but a smile
Teasing all the while
Now dancing down the drain
'till the boys reach the dock
They gently mock
Lift him on their backs
Lay him on his rack
And leave beneath the light
Soon your sailing will be over
Come and take the pleasures of the harbor
And the ship sets the sail
They've lived the tale
To carry from the shore
Straining at the oars
Or staring from the rail
And the sea bids farewell
She waves in swells
And sends them on their way
Time has been her pay
And time will have to tell
Soon your sailing will be over
Come and take the pleasures of the harbor

7. _ Crucifixion
pre>
Em d
And the night comes again to the circle studded sky
G bm
The stars settle slowly, in lonliness they lie
Am d g em
'till the universe expodes as a falling star is raised
Am d g em
Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed
Am d g em
But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze
Am d em
With the speed of insanity, then he dies.
In the green fields a turnin', a baby is born
His cries crease the wind and mingle with the morn
An assault upon the order, the changing of the guard
Chosen for a challenge that is hopelessly hard
And the only single sound is the sighing of the stars
But to the silence and distance they are sworn
Em c d
So dance dance dance
Em
Teach us to be true
C
Come dance dance dance
D em
'cause we love you
Images of innocence charge him go on
But the decadence of destiny is looking for a pawn
To a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate
And a blinding revelation is laid upon his plate
That beneath the greatest love is a hurricane of hate
And god help the critic of the dawn.
So he stands on the sea and shouts to the shore,
But the louder that he screams the longer he's ignored
For the wine of oblivion is drunk to the dregs
And the merchants of the masses almost have to be begged
'till the giant is aware, someone's pulling at his leg,
And someone is tapping at the door.
To dance dance dance
Teach us to be true
Come dance dance dance
'cause we love you
Then his message gathers meaning and it spreads accross the land
The rewarding of his pain is the following of the man
But ignorance is everywhere and people have their way
Success is an enemy to the losers of the day
In the shadows of the churches, who knows what they pray
For blood is the language of the band.
The spanish bulls are beaten; the crowd is soon beguiled,
The matador is beautiful, a symphony of style
Excitement is estatic, passion places bets
Gracefully he bows to ovations that he gets
But the hands that are applauding are slippery with sweat
And saliva is falling from their smiles
So dance dance dance
Teach us to be true
Come dance dance dance
'cause we love you
Then this overflow of life is crushed into a liar
The gentle soul is ripped apart and tossed into the fire.
First a smile of rejection at the nearness of the night
Truth becomes a tragedy limping from the light
All the (canons|heavens) are horrified, they stagger from the sight
As the cross is trembling with desire.
They say they can't believe it, it's a sacreligious shame
Now, who would want to hurt such a hero of the game?
But you know i predicted it; i knew he had to fall
How did it happen? i hope his suffering was small.
Tell me every detail, i've got to know it all,
And do you have a picture of the pain?
So dance dance dance
Teach us to be true
Come dance dance dance
'cause we love you
Time takes her toll and the memory fades
But his glory is broken, in the magic that he made.
Reality is ruined; it's the freeing from the fear
The drama is distorted, to what they want to hear
Swimming in their sorrow, in the twisting of a tear
As they wait for a new thrill parade.
The eyes of the rebel have been branded by the blind
To the safety of sterility, the threat has been refined
The child was created to the slaughterhouse he's led
So good to be alive when the eulogy is read
The climax of emotion, the worship of the dead
And the cycle of sacrifice unwinds.
So dance dance dance
Teach us to be true
Come dance dance dance
'cause we love you
And the night comes again to the circle studded sky
The stars settle slowly, in lonliness they lie
'till the universe expodes as a falling star is raised
Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed
But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze
With the speed of insanity, then he died.
