Covenant

Hey hey put me in your pocket for a day
Let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Hey hey, i could see the magic in your eyes,
There's a fire beneath these spanish skies,
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade

(instrumental)

Hey hey, let me mix you up a recipe, here's doctor love to give you therapy
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Out on the beach, blueprint of your soul, with the midnight of the city
A thousand eyes look down from space

(more instrumental)

Hey hey, put me in your pocket for a day, let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
(more instrumental, fading out eventually)

(intro)
Fool's gold, sparkling like the midnight sun
Fool's gold, touch the ivory handles on my gun
(sold out to me?), charlatans and thieves
(so wrong not to see?), jokers and the priests?
Fool's gold, stranded on a (point gloss?) sea
Fool's gold, nothing here and nothing to see
(sold out to me?), the weasels and the feared
(and it's so wrong not to see?), the ghosts of the disappeared
All gone away...

(instrumental)
Sometimes, when i'm touched by love, by hate, or by the grace of god
Sometimes, in the dark when hope is fading,
Or no longer flies,
I won't sympathize
Spend my time getting high

Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a christmas tree
Tired of living on my own, someone came and take me home

Sometimes, this jungle life is boring, pawing,
Ready for a feast, someone kill the beast
Outside, streets are teeming, breathing heavy,
Ready to explode, my brother's heavy load,
What you reap is what you sow

Someone came to rescue me
Lit up like a christmas tree
Stranded here on my own
Someone came to take me home

(instrumental)

Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a christmas tree
When i'm out here on my own, someone came and took me home

Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a christmas tree
Stranded here on my own, someone came and took me home

(instrumental fade out)

(instrumental intro)
Going to jamaica,
Warm and coral waters flow
There she goes
Sun kissed her body, in this magic feel love grow,
Love grows
Feel like letting go

Hey mr. saturday night
?? right out the hole
It stops in a minute,
It's right down in it
Hey, we're really back on a roll

I don't know why, i don't know why
Feel so good i could die, i could die
Great escape, i'll be there, by the skin of my teeth, on a wish and a prayer
With a head full of hammers, both feet in the grave, i'm gonna stand i'm gonna rise again

Dream time (lavinia??),
Even though the odds are stacked, she's coming back
(moon monkeys barking?) in a bitter chocolate glow,
There she goes, feel like letting go...

Hey, mr. cool jazz nights, let the fever go,
It stops in a minute, i'm down in it
Hey, play it long and slow
I don't know why, i don't know why,
Feels so good i could die, i could die,
With a great escape, i'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer
With a head full of hammers, both feet in the grave, i'm gonna stand i'm gonna rise again

(instrumental)
With a great escape, i'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer
With a head full of hammers both feet in the grave, i'm gonna stand i'm gonna rise again
I've been stricken, i'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer, and i'm
Not going down, both feet in the grave, i'm gonna stand i'm gonna rise again.

Dream time (lavinia??)
Feel like letting go.
(end!)

(instrumental)
Windows are closing, you smell the track
Traffic is heavy
Up riding the rack
Bodies are buried, freeways and wells
Boneyards with vistas
Gateways to hell

When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line
Where no angels tread

Soldiers are gathering, not missing a beat
A poetry reading, while reaping the wheat
Out looking for venus
She's black marble on ice
Cut to precision
Weighted like dice

When it's all over, you'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread
Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't
The world and his dog, won't care if you don't

(instrumental)

When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread
Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't
The world and his dog won't care if you don't

When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread

(instrumental over and out!)

Lady love to hang on
Played it like a real intellectual
Sweet sister your still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window there you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head

Sidewalks of the city
Every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Louise fazenda and buster keaton [+++]
Over my head, so it's all

** out in the street for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes, your vaudeville carries on

--solo--

** repeat

Repeat

(intro)
One more day, with a tumble fall,
Down the money pit, with nothing to show
Hey hey yeah
Another twist, in the horror tale
It's an open coffin, that needs one more nail
Smell of money

Maybe i'm a victim, (soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money
Attracts me to you...
Hey hey yeah money

Two clean shirts
I'm out on bail
As the barroom baits
They start to wail
The smell of money

Maybe i'm a victim, (soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money,
That brings me to you

Stretched out across the ceiling
?? domes shimmer and glow
Golden citadels
While the autumn wind billows and flows

(instrumental)

Dancing nights, in the lost and found
Move really nice to that money sound

Smell of money, smell of money,
Smell of money, smell of money
I need
I bleed
(sudden stop)

(instrumental)

I'm not looking to change your mind,
There's a place, call it home
It's no secret, the world unwinds
Maybe now you're not alone

It's just another day
In the life of cowboy joe
Straitlaced to the bone
(this story will not play?)

You take the wheel and play the chance
Suddenly the room's divided
As in the way of true romance
It's always undecided

It's just another day
In the life of cowboy joe
Shipwrecked to the bay
(this story will not play?)

Every time he climbs back up
Smacked down with a dime
It's evens or odds now
Just ran out of time

(instrumental)

Love's a struggle, there's a fight
No bone of contention
So unhappy, well here's the bite
That's the mother of invention

It's just another day
In the life of cowboy joe
Strange place to play

It's just another day
In the life of cowboy joe
(fade out)

(instrumental intro)

Don't you really love her, don't you really care
You've been looking forever, how did she get you there

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon

Isn't she so pretty, isn't she so fine
Haven't you been blessed to hold her all the time

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon

(can't figure out this part)

(instrumental)

Have you found a heaven, try to see the worth,
Looking at the future, she's right here on earth

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon
