unknown

There's a cry that is heard in the city
From vivian at pentecost lane
A shriekin' and dancing till 4 a.m.
Another night of muscles and pain
I love you despite your convictions
That god never laughs at my jokes

I'm a young man at odds with the bible
But i don't pretend faith never works
When we're down on our knees
Prayin' at the bus stop

Now jesus he came in a vision
And offered you redemption from sin
I'm not sayin' that i don't believe you
But are you sure that it really was him
I've been told that it couldn've been blue cheese
Or the meal that we ate down the road

I'm a young man at odds with the bible
But i don't pretend faith never works
When we're down on our knees
Prayin' at the bus stop

How yeah

I'm going home
I've been gone much too long
She said she missed me
Since i been gone
I'll be back soon
Ain't no doubt
'cause she said she wanted my loving, my loving

No holding back i'm going home
No holding back i'm going home
I'm going stateside with my convictions
No holding back i'm going home
No holding back i'm going home
I'm going stateside with my convictions

I said i'm coming home soon
I don't know when
It i'll be sometime soon
Sooner than
I thought i'd be
I thought i'd be
I thought i'd be stateside sooner or later

Marilyn inflatables home on the range
Where the living is easy on a horse with no name
Kennedy convertibles home on the range
Where the suffering comes easy on a blonde with no brain

I'm going stateside
I'm going stateside

I'm going home
It's been so long
She said she missed me
And all the fun we've had
I think it be the best way
She said she missed me
Every, every way, so

No holding back i'm going home
No holding back i'm going home
I'm going stateside with my convictions
No holding back i'm going home
No holding back i'm going home
I'm going stateside with my convictions

I've been gone so long
I've been gone, i've been gone
I'm missing you

Marilyn inflatables home on the range
Where the living is easy on a horse with no name
Kennedy convertibles home on the range
Where the suffering comes easy on a ten dollar raise

I'm going stateside
I'm going stateside

Shine shine shine
Shine shine shine

Shine shine shine
Shine shine shine

Shine shine shine
Shine shine shine

Bleed like a crazed dad
These are the craze

Easy come come goto go back
In the valley of the dead man walks
How they drank from the jazz

Astral kestrel, fed into the featherfall
Fed him on a pencil carving you will never get

Shine shine shine
Bleed like crazed dad
These are the craze

Seek for a leather journey never stopped to think about
Hollywood king kong domino on the side

Street light levitated down stop the blue for 5 dollar gonna keep my domino on the side

Street light, looking right looking to the parlous parlours
Party on the dead put a net through his headache

Shine shine shine
Shine shine shine
Shine shine shine
Bleeeeed
Bleed like a crazed dad
These are the craze

Living on a movie all the shirley/charley films on film
Come together, party footnote on the footstone

Shine shine shine
Bleed like a crazed dad

Don't look back
Whatever it takes to save your life
I've believed i belonged to you for a long time
And my heart says no, no one but you

Like a rescue on a darkened street
Love walked into town
I was a victim of my own self-persecution
I'm a prisoner of love-but i'm coming up for air

Now don't be fooled by fools who promise you
The world and all that glitters more fool you

I'm such a hungry man that i beg you over and over and over and over
And i might take any highway to be there with you
Even the best men shiver in their beds
I'm loving you above everything i have
I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square
Like a sermon on a blues guitar
Love walked into town
I was drowning so slowly
One step in front of your shadow
I'm a prisoner of love but i'm coming up for air

Now don't be fooled by fools who promise you
The world and all that glitters more fool you

I smell the sickness sown in this city
It drives me to hide you, yeah, even deceive you
I'm so afraid for you that
I'll break any thug that maps out your passage to ruin
Even the best men shiver in their beds
I'm loving you above everything i have
I'm a prisoner of love
I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square
Take care take care
I'm a prisoner of love
Just stay square
Just stay square
Stay out the shooting gallery
Just stay square
I seen the best mans of my generation lay down in cemetary of clematry
Just take care
Just stay square
Just stay square
Don't look back
Beautiful soul
Don't look back
Beautiful soul

Some days he feels so empty
Just a talking head
Married to a klingon
Who could cream him in the press

God could detonate him
God's the one we pick to curse us
And 25 years pass him
Like an evening at the circus

Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Surprise yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself

There it is, the look, the winner you
Once talked of being
Give her one last kiss and
Dive right out the window screaming
No truth decent, it was summer from the waist down
She blew the troops right off your feet
She tells you she's god's grammy

Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Surprise yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself
Don't sacrifice yourself

Her, the only game in town, a queen of competence
Blind in front of mirrors, proving nothings says a lot

Wham bam thank you charlie
Vanity is all
You wander lonely to the scene
A crawling up the walls

Don't sacrifice yourself

Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing baal
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
Like baal loved it, when he came to us

That same sky remained with him in joy and care
Even when baal slept peaceful and unaware
At night a lilac sky, a drunken baal
Turning pious as the sky grows pale

So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
When baal's tired, boys, baal cannot fall far
He will have his sky down there below

When the sinners congregate in shame together
Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
Formed a blanket for his nakedness

And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laughing yield
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes

And when baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
"space enough" said baal, "then i'll thicken the ground
Space enough within this woman's womb"

Any vice for baal has got its useful side
It's the man who practices it, he can't abide
Vices have their point, once you see it as such
Stick to two for one will be too much

Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun
Lots of strength is needed and experience too
Swollen bellies can embarrass you

Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears
Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep

Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky
As they wait up there to see if baal will die
Sometimes baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop
Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup

When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
What's the world still mean to baal, he's overfed
So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes
He'll just have enough sky when he's dead

Once the earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting baal
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
Like baal loved it when he lived with us

She's just been to russia and they're dying their faces
They're dying over there

A pretty pink rose

That r'n'r lady takes a space-ship ride she's out of this world

A pretty pink rose

And we're living for you my love, we're living for you
And we're dying for you my love
Pretty pink rose

She tore down paris on the tall of thom paine
But the left wings broken the right insane

A pretty pink rose

Have a nice day, it's a killer, turn a cheek
It's a christian code

A pretty pink rose

And we're living for you my love, we're living for you
And we're dying for you my love

Pretty pink rose

She's the poor mans gold she's the anarchist crucible
Flying in the face of the despot cannible

She's a pretty pink rose

Never let it rain, never let it rain on the heart of the pretty pink rose

Pretty pink rose

And we're living for you my love, we're living for you
And we're dying for you my love, pretty pink rose

Get me thru the pain, thru the pain of the thorn on the pretty pink rose

Never let it rain, never rain never rain, the pretty pink rose

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart, of the pretty pink rose

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart, of the pretty pink rose

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart,, of the pretty pink rose

Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart

I saw him by the dj
The way he danced was cool
They said i stood no chance
They called me little fool
Well here i am before you
And all your friends can see
You roasting like a turkey
It's just this flame in me

And no one can burn like me

I am a laser
Burning through your eyes
And i know what kind of man you are
And i long to hold you tight
I am a laser
Knowing right from wrong
And i know what kind of heart you have
A heart so big and strong

I dreamed how much i'd lay on you
Sitting by your side
Driving in my dusenburgh
Going for a ride
I'm going to turn my beam on
If only for an hour
You know i switch the heat on
When you feel my golden shower

And no one can burn like me

I am a laser
Burning through your eyes
And i know what kind of man you are
And i long to hold you tight
I am a laser
Knowing right from wrong
And i know what kind of heart you have
A heart so big and strong

I know what the boys call me
They think i'm black barbarella
But only one beam do i have
And that's this heartbeat of mine

I am a laser
Burning through your eyes
And i know what kind of man you are
And i long to hold you tight
I am a laser
Knowing right from wrong
And i know what kind of heart you have
A heart so big and strong

Someday they won't let you, now you must agree
The times they are a-telling, and the changing isn't free
You've read it in the tea leaves, the tracks are on tv
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984

They'll break your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air
And tell that you're eighty, but lover you won't care
You'll be shooting up this huge world, like tomorrow's wasn't there
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984

(come see, come see, remember me?)
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but i guess we've grown
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for more)

Now we can talk in confidence
Did you guess that we've been done wrong
Lies jumped the queue to be first in line
Such a shameless design

He thinks he's well screened from the man at the top
It's a shame that his children disagree
They cooly decide to sell him down the line
Daddy's brainwashing time

He's a do do, no no didn't hear it from me
He's a do do, no no didn't hear it from me

She doesn't recall her blessed childhood out of yore
When a unit was a figure not a she
When lovers chose each other seems the perk's are due
Another memo to screw

She's a do do, no no didn't hear it from me
She's a do do, no no didn't hear it from me

Can you wipe your nose my child without them slotting in your file a photograph
Will you sleep in fear tonight wake to find the scorching light of neighbour jim
Come to, turn you in

But the do do, no no, didn't hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didn't hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didn't hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didn't hear from me

Come see, come see, remember me?
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but i guess we enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore)
(mor-or-or-or-ore)

1984
1984
1984 (mor-or-or-or-ore)
1984
1984 (mor-or-or-or-ore)
1984
1984 (mor-or-or-or-ore)

Still i keep my love for you
No place to hide no way to fall
Nowhere to lie no world so wide
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down

I know there's something in the wind
That crazy balence of my mind
What kind of fool are you and i?
Scared to death and tell me why
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down

Still i keep my love for you

You made a date with destiny
You jog-jog in my memory
You haunt in mind no fade away
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
I'm sick and tired of telling you

Still i keep my love for you
No place to hide, no way to fall
Nowhere to lie no world so wide
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
Still i keep my love for you
Don't let me down and down and down
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down
Don't don't let me down
Don't let me down
Nowhere to hide
No place to go
Still i keep my love for you
Still i keep my love for you
Oh there's no place to hide
No where to go

When i'm five
I will wash my face me hands all by myself
When i'm five
I will chew and spit tabacco like my grandfather jones
'cause i'm only four and five is far away

When i'm five
I will read the magazines in mummy's drawer
When i'm five
I will walk behind the soldiers in the may day parade
'cause i'm only four and grown-ups walk too fast

Yesterday was horrid day, 'cause raymond kicked my shin
And mummy says if i am good, she'll let me go to school in august
Daddy shouted loud at mummy and i dropped my toast at breakfast
And i laughed when bonzo licked my face, because it tickled
I wonder why my daddy cries and how i wish that i was nearly five

When i'm five
I will catch a butterfly and eat it and i won't be sick
When i'm five
I will jump in puddles, laugh in church and marry my mum
And i'll let my daddy do the washing-up

If i close one eye, the people on that side can't see me
I get headaches in the morning and i rode on freddie's tricycle
And everywhere was funny, when i ran down to the sweetshop
Then i fell and bleeded-up my knee and everybody soppied me

I saw a photograph of jesus and i asked him if he'd make me five
I saw a photograph of jesus and i asked him if he'd make me five
When i'm five
When i'm five
When i'm oah

Huu huuuu
Huu huuuu
Huu huuuu
Huu huuuu
Huu huuuu

The last days were the meanest
Leanest days of our lives
You threw me the pieces
I started the fire
One thing led to a dead end
One shot put her away hey-hey

Look out on a green world
Windows and wives
No bedroom to run to
No miracle jive - no conversation

Then nothing meant nothing
Ten dollars tore us apart
On thing led to a dead end
One shot put her away

One thing nothing meant nothing
Ten dollars tore us apart
On thing led to a dead end
One shot put her away

The last days were the meanest
Leanest days of our lives
One thing led to a dead end
One shot put her away

Look out on a dream world
Windows and wifes
No bedroom to run too
No woman that i
No conversation

Hot love is the dearest
No money can buy
She burnt like a spitfire
One shot put her away

One shot put her away hey hey

One shot put her away

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha ha

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha ha

Ah ha ha

Ah ha haaaa

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha ha

One shot put her away

Come on strong girl, lay the heavy trick on me
The church of man, love, is such a holy place to be
Make me baby, make me know you really care
Make me jump into the air

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!

Alright ah
Come on you ?
Far out

Keep your mouth shut, but listen to the world inside
Keep your head on, but open up your eyes real wide
Keep the change strong, let the things you torn aside
You messing any road to high

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!

Take it out take it out
Oh

Ready

Moi, je souhaiterais que tu nages
Comme les dophins, les dophins savent nager
Bien que rien nous gardera ensemble
Nous les vaincrons, les vaicrons

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh.

I'm walking down the middle of the road
Close my eyes pretend i'm going home
The trees surround my mind like your perfume...

Your voice is in the wind that blows
I see your name on stony ground
I look around and everything is you.

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh.
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh

Wake up each morning rise up from my bed
A little piece of leather 'round my head
To stop the sweat from dripping on my eye...

Your grace is in the tree i see
Your strength is in the axe i wield
I look around and everything is you

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh

The foreman is an evil man
(he stops my pay
Gets in my way
But i've got to stay)

I've got to earn some money
(make your dreams come true)
I look around and everything is you.

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh.
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh.

The night's are cold, your memories keep me warm
Just the thought of you can keep me working on
Showed your picture to the guys in my gang...

Whilst sitting 'round an open fire
My memories grow warm and strong
I look around and everything is you

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh.

Wish i was a sailor
Crossing an azure sea
Under leaden skies
Under your eyes

But i can't see too far
With these animal eyes
Can't hold my breath
Without your voice

And i'm danger-prone
For i'll be bound
I'll be as fast as hell
Without your touch

And i'll run run run run run run run
And i'll run run run run run
Without your love

I'm a goldman
In a soaring tower
And it's cold in here
Without your love

And there's trouble in here-trouble out there
Mainline problems till you no longer care
It's a long-low life-it's duty bound
No hope-no life-no you-ah ha

And i run run run run run run run
Yeah run run run run run
Without your love

I duck the shots-and tilt the world
I talk myself crazy-shoot the breeze
Shout to live-shoot to kill
Double up in pain-i'm on my knees

And i run run run run run run run
I run run run run run run run

"stamford hill, four square miles of sh....."

The sewage,
In a west end city
In a west end city
Smells like daisies
In stamford hill
In stamford hill
Ain't it fucking curious some other cunts
Are trying to ditch the king
Of stamford hill
Of stamford hill

The sewage,
In a west end city
In a west end city
Smells like daisies
In stamford hill
In stamford hill
Ain't it fucking curious some other cunts
Are trying to ditch the king
Of stamford hill
Of stamford hill

Gonna build an army
March them to the marches
Marching up and down
Watch them flap their little wings
Someone's gonna lose his poxy face

Ain't it fucking curious some other cunts
Are trying to ditch the king
Of stamford hill
Of stamford hill

And when she drowns
Within and in the fizzy gin, begins to sigh
"good god" or "my" i cry and die and lie beside

She is the apple in my eye
She talked to god
I couldn't cope
Or'd hope eloped
A dope she roped
This salty lie

And when she's dreaming, i believe
And when she's reading, i retreat
Can't believe her
Telling me she's dead again
Telling me she's dead against it

And deep my wound
Within for every second chance it was
Thy-tore
From deep within, despite the rain, my words are worn

She loves to talk into the phone
No matter who
No matter when
No matter where
No better than the faulty line

And when she's dreaming, i believe
And when she's reading, i retreat
Can't believe her
Telling me she's dead again
Telling me she's dead against it

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Leave 'em a note saying 'wish you were here

I know the best ways to break out of here
I helped a young laddie called ivan
I bundled him over the wall last night
Then he climbed back and he grabbed me tight
He uttered some words that i can't say to you
'cause he remembered that he was a screw

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Leave 'em a note wishing 'happy new year'

My name is henry though some say i'm thick
I've spent half me life in and out of nick
Me mum sends me presents to keep me in style
Soggy old cakes and hundreds of files
Now i sussed all them files i'm a clever young man
Now i'm just stupid with manicured hands

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Nobody's left and the screw are in tears

Spoken:
"double 3, 427 ?" "here, sir."
"double 3, 428 ?" "here, sir."
"double 3, 429? double 3, 429 - where is he?"
"he went out for a cup of tea at the local football match, sir."
"oh. well he might have invited me..."

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Nbody's slept and the screws are in tears

We tried digging tunnels but gave up the ghost just past the kensington yards at the most
Our limbs was aching, we felt pretty pooped
Our clothes they was tatty, our arrows did droop.
We crawled back to safety, our hearts filled with gloom
'cos we'd dug ourselves through to the smallest room

Over the wall we go
All coppers are nanas
Over the wall we go
Note wishing 'happy new year'

Spoken:
[sfx: knock knock knock]
"hello, who is it?"
"double 3, 429, guv"
"oh, hang on a minute...
[sfx: doors opening]
Hello sonny jim
Been wondering where you were
Did you have a nice christmas?"

Sickened by sun, with rainstorms lashing him rotten
A looted wreath crowning his tangled hair
Every moment of his youth apart from its dream was forgotten
Gone the roof overhead, but the sky was always there

Oh you, who are flung out, alike from heaven and from hades
You murderers who've been so bitterly repaid
Why did you part from the mothers who nursed you as babies
It was peaceful and you slept and there you stayed

Still he explores and rakes the absinthe green oceans
Though his mother has given him up for lost
Grinning and cursing with a few odd tears of contrition
Always in search of that land where life seems best

Loafing through hells and flocked through paradises
Calm and grinning, with a vanishing face
At times he still dreams of a small field he recognises
With a blue sky overhead and nothing else

Sailors in snow
Send a callout raising hands
Some are bound to fail
Some are winter sun, ah

Sailors in snow
Send a callout rasing hands
Some are bound to fail
Some are winter sun, ah

No more delight or croning around
Whisper the word hold my hand
Nowhere forget i shall refuse you
Never forget who you've been
And you will fight with demons
And we shall go to town
And we'll read betwen the riches
And we'll dream if we don't go down

Follow the paths stay on the wrong side
Only when you is swollen with tears
Don't bring your things just like you serve you
Only fool turns around
And you will fight with demons
And we shall go to town
And you will wear you're best shoes
And we'll dance if we don't go down
And we'll dance if we don't go down

Don't be afraid to reveal what you know
Don't be afraid to conceal what you show
Oh darling
Don't be afraid
Oh darling
I said, don't be afraid to ray what you need
Don't be afraid
What you feel about me
Oh oh oh darling

Count me lucky i don't follow you
Don't be afraid of me feeling so blue
Oh darling
Lucky forever
Oh darling
I said, don't be afraid to ray what you need
Don't be afraid
What you feel about me
Oh oh oh darling

Don't be afraid to reveal what you know
Don't be afraid to conceal what you show
Oh darling
Don't be afraid
Oh darling
I said, don't be afraid to ray what you need
Don't be afraid
What you feel about me
Oh oh oh darling
Oh darling
Oh oh oh darling
Oh darling
Oh oh oh darling
Oh darling
Oh oh oh darling
Oh darling
Oh oh oh darling

Burning up each others' love, burning up our lives
Tried all kinds of working out, miracle goodnight
Future full and empty knocking on my door
Ragged limbed and hungry mama
Miracle no more

(skin tell me) turn it around
(head tell me) make it alright
(nobody dancing)

Morning star you're beautiful, yellow dime on high
Spins around my little room, miracle goodnight
Even flower all alone, pazanane capeche
Haven't got a death wish, just want a little more

(skin tell me) turn it around
(head tell me) make it alright
(nobody dancing) miracle goodnight
(breath tell me) turn it around
(heart tell me) make it alright
(nobody dancing) it was only make believe

I wish there was a sailor a thousand miles from here
I wished i had a future, anywhere

I love you in the morning sun, i love you in my dreams
I love the sound of making love, the feeling of your skin
The corner of your eyes, i long forevermore
I never want to say goodnight, miracle goodnight

(skin tell me) turn it around
(head tell me) make it alright
(nobody dancing) miracle goodnight
(breath tell me) turn it around
(heart tell me) make it alright
(nobody dancing) it was only make believe

Don't want to know the past, i want to know the real deal
I really don't want to know that
The less we know, the better we feel

Morning star you're beautiful, yellow diamond high
Spinning around my little room, miracle

(skin tell me) turn it around
(head tell me) make it alright
(nobody dancing) miracle goodnight
(breath tell me) turn it around
(heart tell me) make it alright
(nobody dancing) it was only make believe
(skin tell me) turn it around
(moon tell me) make it alright
(nobody dancing) it was only make believe
(eyes tell me)
(judes tell me) nobody dancing
(nobody dancing) miracle
(skin tell me) tonight
(head tell me) make it alright
(nobody dancing) nobody dancing
(breath tell me) turn it around
(heart tell me) make it alright
(nobody dancing) it was only make believe
(skin tell me) turn it around

There's a man back a-ways
Who believes at where he is
And there's a girl
Up ahead who says she knows

And the street overflows
With the folk who understand
But for the guy who can't be seen
He's the shadow man
And the shadow man is close at hand

Take a turn and see his smile
Made of nothing but loneliness
Just take a walk and be a friend
To the shadow man

You can call him joe, you can call him sam
You should call and see who answers
For he promises to come running, guided by the truth
But the shadow man is really you

Look in his eyes and see your reflection
Look to the stars and see his eyes
He'll show you tomorrow, he'll show you the sorrows
Of what you did today

You can call him foe, you can call him friend
You should call and see who answers
For he knows your eyes are drawn to the road ahead
And the shadow man is waiting round the bend
Oh, the shadow man
Ohooooo oooo
Shadow man, shadow man
It's really you, it's really you, it's really you
He's the shadow man
Oh yeah
Shadow man

Skin dance back-a-the condo
Skin heads getting to school
Beating on blacks with a baseball bat
Racism back in rule

White trash picking up nazi flags
While you was gone, there was war
This is the west, get used to it
They put a swastika over the door

Under the god
Under the god
One step over the red line
Under the god
Under the god
Ten steps into the crazy crazy

Washington heads in the toilet bowl
Don't see supremicist hate
Right wing dicks in their boiler suits
Picking out who to annihilate

Toxic jungle of uzi trails
Tribesmen just wouldn't live here
Fascist flare is fashion cool
Wel, you're dead-you just ain't buried (yet)

Under the god
Under the god
Oh yeah
Under the god
Under the god

As the walls came tumbling down
So, the secrets that we shared
I believed you by the palace gates.
Now the savage days are here

Under the god
Yeah
Yeah

Mm
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Under the god
Under the god
One step over the red line
Under the god
Under the god
One step into the crazy crazy

Crazy eyed man with a shot gun
Hot headed creep with a knife
Love and peace and harmony
Love you could cult with a life

Under the god
Under the god
Raging down
Raging down
Under the god
Under the god

Hey hey is the tall sail
On a beam lit put your hand
Make way for to java
Watching for bogies
Hey hey it's a dreaming
I would burn you if you should die
Hey hey i would burn too
If you should lie upon that bamboo pyre

I dream of amlapura
Never saw in all my life a more shining jewel
I dream of amlapura
Of an ocean or dream of a princess in stone

Hey hey golden roses around
A rajah

Once there was a fellow and his name was buzz
He was just a rookie cop, just a baby buzz
He patroled the sunset strip in the land of the free and the home of the hip
He protected you and me from evil women like poor alice d

Alice was the girl that all the hippies dread
And they called her sweet alice the head
Alice it was plain to see, was full of pot and std
She'd attract a great big crowd, because her inner piece was much too loud

Good buzz did the thing that all the good buzz must
Stuck his gun in alice's back and said "this is a buzz"
Shone the flashlight in her eyes, she began to hypnotise
Buzz said "what a wild sensation, guess this must be hallucination"

Love is so sensational, when you fall in love with eyes dilational
Now they're taking pills in shops, buzz is not afraid of what
Buzz and alice d have shown the way of where the buzz might be some day
Buzz is still a cop of course, he's the pusher on the porch
He's protecting you and me from evil women like poor alice d

Red light, green light

You're far too un-kind
She loves to love all beauty,
And she says the norm is funny
But she whimpers in the morning
When she finds she has no money

I loved her!

I've got to get away now,
But i loved her!
Ahhh!

Oh-oh-oh

Girls
They come and they go
They kiss
Come and they go
Like breeze
Brushing my cheek
Like pain
Like the tears on my face

Girls
They come and they go
Like spirits
They vanish at dawn
My heart
Suspended in time
Like you
Vanish like tears in the rain

Girls
They take their loves away
Like spirits
Living so far away

Girls
Pretending to break down and cry
Girls
Whispering wind
What are they giving away

We used to be so happy
Remember, remember
So happy
I never knew
How lonely
How lonely
How lonely i could feel

Girls
They come and they go
They kiss
They come and they go
Like spirits
Brushing my cheek
Like pain
Like the tears on my face

Girls
They take their loves away
Like spirits
Living so far away

Girls
Pretending to break down and cry
Girls
Whispering wind
What are they giving away
We used to be so happy
Remember, remember
So happy
I never knew
How lonely
How lonely
How lonely i could feel
Girls

White light - white light gonna drive me out of my brain
White light - white light gonna make me feel so insane
White heat - white heat shapin' them down to my toes
White light - white light's got it now, goodness knows

White light - white light gonna drive me out of my mind
White light - white light's surely gonna make me blind
White heat - white heat shaping way down to my toes
White light - white light could kill me now, goodness knows

Oh, oh, white light
Oh, oh, white light
Oh, oh, white heat
Oh, oh, white heat

White light - white light gonna drive me out of my brain
White light - white light gonna make me feel so insane
White heat - white heat shapin' them down to my toes
White light - white light's got it now, goodness knows

White light - white light gonna drive me out of my mind
White light - white light's surely gonna make me blind
White heat - white heat shaping way down to my toes
White light - white light could kill me now, goodness knows

Oh, oh, white light

No feeling
Here she comes
Oww, yeah
(oh, oh, oh, oh) here she comes
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
(ah, ah, ah, ah)

And as the sparrow sings
Dawn chorus for
Someone else to hear
The thinker sits alone growing older
And so bitter

She gave them life,
She gave them all
They drained her very soul dry...dry

Hey hey hey bitter girl
We're out to sitting here digging you
We flew done here just to figure you
It's easy
Don't be so bitter
Oh oh oh crazy girl
You gave too much and you got nothing
Too many problems and not one thing
In return
Left high and dry
Door

And as the sun rise stream
Flickers on
She finds lavender
To fight the beckoning

A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die
For this is not america

Blossom falls to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long
For this is not a miracle

There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And i could have
The faintest idea

Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red
Tomorrows clouds

A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die
For this is not america

There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And i could have the faintest idea

This could be the biggest sky
This could be a miracle
This could be etc

Baby baby baby baby baby giving in
Baby can't baby talk baby well baby thinking baby walk baby lost baby found
Baby beauty baby can't baby talking baby girl baby thinking baby well baby lost baby found baby giving in baby can

If a womans hips are ample
Then i want her in the hay
Skirt and stocking all a rample
Cheerfully
For that's my way
If the woman bites in pleasure
Then i wipe it clean with hay
My mouth, her lap together
Not really
For that's my way
If a woman goes on loving
When i feel to tired to play
I'd smile and go off waving, i'm leaving
For that's my way

Once upon a time there was a toy soldier and he lived in the play room

Once upon a time there was a toy soldier with a whip lash in his hand
And every night little girl sadie would take all her clothes off and wind up the toy soldier and he raised his whip and said

On your knees little sadie
Little sadie on your knees
Taste the whip and love might given likely
Taste the whip and bleed for me

Little sadie loved her little toy soldier
And she run home from school each day

Little sadie loved her little toy soldier
And she locked her door so she could play

Little sadie got ambitious
And wound the clockworks so to tighter
So he could whip her harder and harder

On your knees little sadie
Little sadie on your knees
Taste the whip and love might given likely
Taste the whip and bleed for me

One day sadie wound and wound
And wound and wound
And wound and wound

Til suddenly the little toy soldier spring, went. . .

(ugly, beat her to death)

Ahhhh

Cough, cough, cough

Here's the town in which i live petunia green
Here's the shop and here's the man who sold me laces for my shoes
There is mr.marcus. boys they say he's mad
'here's the battle that they won' silver treetop school for boys

Early days were good as gold
An apple here an apple there
And everywhere a 'yes sir', 'no sir'
They made me roll the cricket pitch once a day
I've never been so happy than at silver treetop school for boys

The mowing machine was leaving small piles of grass
That when the ??? had risen to the pipe of mr.marcus
The smell of teaching fell upon the cricket field
Smiling, laughing, rolling about at silver treetop school for boys.

Hey there
They call in the staff room
They call in the canteen
"hey come and look at what i found"
"i found some boys and masters sitting
On the cricket ground at silver treetop school for boys"

The english master, sir, he wores a purple mask
And the head, was usually sad, was swinging from a tree
Mr.brown the physics man is off his head
And everyone just loves the grass at silver treetop school for boys
Lalalalalalala lalala lalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalala

Where's the pain in the violent night?
I'm depressed by the grill
I stay over many years
I should have thought of that
For the love of the money
Like a black-hearted vile thing
It's the nature of being

It's too many lonely nights
I can't tell bad from wrong
I can't pass you by
Too exchanging
You've been around
But you've changed me

When the flesh meets the spirit world
Where the traffic is thin
I slip from a vacant view
I should have thought of that
And the sound of tomorrow
Like a black-hearted vile thing
Like the silence of tension

It's too many lonely nights
I can't tell good from bad
I can't pass you by
Too exchanging
You've been around
But you've changed me

You've been around
Can't pass you by
You've been around
But you've changed me

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change!

Too exchanging

You've been around

But you've changed me

You've been around

Can't pass you by

You've been around

But you've changed me

You've been around

Can't pass you by

You've been around

But you've changed me

Stay with them now for they won't see you no more

There's no hold
The moving has come through
The danger passing you
Turns it's face into the heat and runs the tunnels
It's so cold
The dog dug up fine dogs
The stiches torn and broke
The wrong lick fist you choke has hit the blood light

Glass traps opened and close on nite flights
Broken necks, feather plates pressed and warped
Be my love, we will be gods on nite flights
With only one promise, only one way to fall

Glass traps opened and close on nite flights
Broken necks feather ways press the walls
Be my love, we will be gods on nite flights
With only one promise, only one way to call

On nite flights

On nite flights

Only one way to fall

On nite flights

On nite flights

On nite flights

Only one way to fall

Between the dead ring ash of extreme defense
The lonely groups of company boys
Snapping pictures of scrawny limbs and toothy grins
These are children riding naked on their tourist pals
While the hollows that pass for eyes swell from withdrawal
As he lies on a mattress in a rat infested room
Talking 'bout his family and the cold back home

Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
No one over here reads the papers pal
'tween the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
He's a clean trick and he's shopping for girls

A small black someone jumps over the crazy white guard
Cranking up the volume of a michael jackson song

Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
No one over here reads the papers pal
'tween the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
He's a clean trick and he's shopping for girls

Where the frangipani scents the air
She mouths a word that breaks his stare
He grunts his reply in a garrulous croak
"that's a mighty big word for a nine year old"

Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
No one over here reads the papers pal
The dull cold eyes and the mind unstable
He's a clean trick and he's shopping for girls

Shopping for girls, shopping for girls
Gaze down into her eyes for a million miles
Wanna give her a name and a clean rag doll

These are silver wings
These are golden eyes
These are floating clouds
Angel for love

Dreaming alone and i feel this someone

Someone

Listens to me

Listens to me

Angel for love

These are silver wings
These are golden eyes
These are floating clouds
Angel for love

Heaven is smiling down, heaven's girl in a wedding gown

I never gonna be so good
Just like a good brochure
I'm gonna change my way
Angel for love

Of all the saints alive
Don't i feel like a saint alive
She's not mine for eternity
Though i'll never fly so high
I smiling

I believe in the magic
Angel for love

In the magic
Angel for love

I believe in magic
Angel for love

In the magic
Angel for love

I believe in the magic

Columbine my frail design
I see you see me standing on my own
Is it you that i'm walking through
Should i retrace my point of view
I'm left in clouded dreams of finding who
Not columbine
Just incase you're my disguise
I found yourself to my surprise
I'm on the ground
And it's harlequin who fix me up
Who catches you
Who wanishes me
From finding who
You are

I've got me, i've got you
Frightening, frightening, frightening

I'll give you back my farmland and i'll give you back my house
I'll give you back my right to be free
I'll give you back my farmland and i'll give you back my house
I'll give you back my right to be free

I've got moon, i've got sun
(i've got) lightning, lightning, lightning
I've got me, i've got you
(it's) frightening, frightening, frightening

La mia mente ha presol il volo
Un pensiero uno solo
Io cammino mentre dorme la citta'

I soui occhi mella notte
Fanali bianchi nella notte
Una voce che mi parla chi sara'?

Dimmi ragazzo solo dove uai,
Perche' tanto dolore?
Hai perduto senza dubbio un grande amore
Ma di amorie e'tutta peina la citta,

No ragazza sola, no no no
Stavolta sei in errore
Non ho perso solamente un grande amore
Ieri sera ho perso tutto con lei.

Ma lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la trovero' mai piu

Ora ragazzo solo dove andrai
La notte e'un grande mare
Se ti serve la mia mano per nuotare
Grazie na stasera io vorrei morire
Perche' sai negli occhi miei
C'e' un angelo, un angelo
Che ormai non vola piu' che ormai non vola piu'
Che ormai non vola piu'
C'e' lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la trovero' mai piu'

I'm rolling out of the ferris wheel
No one looks and no one feels
But the baby can the baby can

The way it feels just feeling you
Holding out and falling out
But the baby can the baby can

I'm the jumping man
I'm the jumping man

But baby can float
Baby can drown
Baby can touch her toes
Toss her hair
Makes you feel you're going nowhere
Baby can dance
Baby can dance
Baby can walk around the town
Attract a man and cut him down

I'm the shadow man the jumping jack
The man who can and don't look back
But the baby can the baby can

I'm rolling out of the ferris wheel
No one looks and no one feels
But the baby can the baby can

And the way it feels
I'm feeling you

But baby can float
Baby can drown
Baby can touch her toes
Toss her hair
Makes you feel you're going nowhere
Baby can dance
Baby can dance
Baby can walk around the town
Attract a man and cut him down

Everyday is far away

Everyday, everyday

It's over now

It's over now

It's over now

It's over now

It's over now

But baby can float
Baby can drown
Baby can touch her toes
Toss her hair
Makes you feel you're going nowhere
Baby can dance
Baby can dance
Baby can walk around the town
Attract a man and cut him down

But baby can float
Baby can drown
Baby can touch her toes
Toss her hair
Makes you feel you're going nowhere
Baby can dance
Baby can dance
Baby can walk around the town
Attract a man and cut him down

I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
I was born blue and weathered but i burst just like a super-nova
I could walk like brando right into the sun, an' dance just like a casanova
With my black-jack and jacket and my hair slicked sweet
Silver studs on my duds just like a harley in heat
When i strut down the street i can hear its' heartbeat
The sisters fell back and said "don't that man look pretty"
The cripple on the corner cried out "penny, nickels for your pity"
Them gasoline boys down-town, they sure talk gritty
It's so hard to be a saint in the city

I was the king of the alley, mama, i could talk some trash
I was the prince of the paupers, crowned down-town at the beggars' bash
I was a pimps main prophet, i kept everything cool
Just a back-street gambler with the luck to lo..ose
And when the heat came down it was left on the ground, mama
Devil appeared to me like jesus through the steam in the street, an'
Showed me a hand that even the cops couldn't beat
And i felt his hot breath on my neck as i dove into the heat, and it's so hard to be a saint when you're just a poor bo..oy out on the street

And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead
As the tracks clack out the rhythm, the eyes fixed straight ahead
They ride the line of balancin', hold on by just a thread
Well, it's too hot in these tunnels, you can get hit up by the heat
When you get up to get out at your next stop, but they push you right down in your seat
And your heart starts beatin' faster as you struggle to your feet
Then you're out of that hole!, back on the street
And them south-side sisters, they sure look pretty
And the cripple on the corner cries out "nickels for your pity"
And them down-town boys, they sure talk gritty
It's so hard to be a saint in the c..c..city

Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Pressure pressing down on me
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah

That's o-kay!
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people

Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chippin around
Kick my brains around the floor
These are the days
It never rains it pours
People on streets
People on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
People people on streets
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure pressure

Ain't got room for charity
Skeletons man
Me, i'm crawling with no cash
Chop it up
Me, i'm looking for hot flesh
Chop it up

This skeleton's mine
Chop it up
Chop it up

Blood on video-video crime
Video crime
Needles and pins and video crime
Video crime
I've got dollars-i've got sense
Wonder where the third world went

Aint got time for honeymoon
Chop it up
Trash time bundy, death row chic
Chop it up
Haunt this street from half past ten
Chop it up

Blood on video-video crime
Video crime
Needles and pins and video crime
Video crime
Late night cannibal-cripples decay
Just can't tear my eyes away

Ain't got no room for charity
This skeleton's mine
Ain't got room for hollywood
Chop it up
Me, i'm crawling with no cash
Chop it up
Blood on video-video crime
Video crime
Needles and pins and video crime
Video crime
I've got dollars i've got sense
Wonder where the third world went

Video crime
Chop it up
Video crime
Chop it up
Video crime
Chop it up
Video crime
Chop it up
Video crime
Chop it up

do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from ground control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the action man
"i'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all i've needed love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of jap girls in synthesis and i
Ain't got no money and i ain't got no hair
But i'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again i tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"i'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with major tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with major tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with major tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with major tom

I should never call her
Heartbreakers, never kill
But she's been new zealand on another trip
Have you felt like dixon
And ray, and ali

Hit me
Hit me baby
On the camera
Take me in
I'm going down
Hit me baby
You win
Your the very tough with a long past

Your a hammerhead
Sweet thing
Goldwyn drive
Keep it all stuck on here
She's all black or white
Don't tell her where i'm livin'

Hit me
Hit me baby
She got me ruined
She's a bore
She fell apart
Oh, oh, ooh

Mention her hammerhead

She turns me on, but i'm only dancing
She turns me on, don't get me wrong

Oh lordy, oh lordy, you know i need some loving
Move me, touch me

She turns me on, but don't get me wrong

She turns me on, but don't get me wrong

Well, the joint was rocking

Going round 'n' round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'til the moon went down

Well it sounded so sweet
I had to take me a chance
I rose out of my seat
And had to dance
I started moving my feet
And clapping my hands

Yeah, we kept on rocking

Going round 'n' round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'til the moon went down

About twelve o'clock
When the place was packed
The front doors were locked
I said the place was packed
When the police knocked
Those doors flew back

But kept on rocking

Going round 'n' round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'til the moon went down

Yeah

About twelve o'clock
Around lock up time
Well, the doors were locked
Said the place was packed
When the police knocked
Those doors flew back

But it kept on rocking

Going round 'n' round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'til the moon went down

Yeah, it kept on rocking

Going round 'n' round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'til the moon went down

Once she had drowned and started her slow descent
Down the streams to where the great rivers broaden
Oh, the open sky chant most magnificent
As if it was acting as her body's guardian
Wreck and duck weed slowly increased her weight
By clasping her in their slimy grip
Through her limbs, the cold blooded fishes played
Creatures and plant life kept on, thus obstructing her last trip

And the sky that same evening grew dark as smoke
And its stars through the night kept the brightness still soaring
But it quickly grew clear when dawn now broke
To see that she got one further morning
Once her pallid trunk had rotted beyond repair
It happened quite slowly that she gently slipped from god's thoughts
First with her face, then her hands, right at the last with her hair
Leaving those corpse-choked rivers just one more corpse

"within you"
By david bowie in the movie "labyrinth"
How you turned my world, you precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me
Everything i've done, i've done for you
I move the stars for no one

You've run so long
You've run so far

Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as i can be so cruel
Though i do believe in you

Yes i do

Live without the sunlight
Love without your heartbeat
I, i can't live within you
I can't live within you

(sigh)

I, i can't live within you

Hey jack you'd better shake it up
Put it out of my head
Thinking of all just another young girl last night
Oh brother i loved a women
And that morning bed been on that trip so many times
Good god was it really yestrday?

I tried so many many many many many, many ways
I've lied and taken often to the day
Leaving another girl to, weap over the breakfast tray
Loved her before i knew her name
Hit me jack cause i'm gonna love her way

Come back my baby
Be holy again
And give her
Oh maybe maybe
Gotta give her
Oh baby baby
That kind of love can only destroy
I gave her
Oh maybe maybe
? doubt if i'm gonna be her baby
Gonna be me

It was no rain to check me
When all those ? little things walked on by
Oh but i couldn't feel it ? worth
And when that angel was stuck in my mind
Oo oo oo oo
Looking for love wont hold me back
I'm gonna love her way

Come back my baby
Be holy, again
I gave her
Got to give her
Oh baby baby
That kind of love can only destroy
I gave her
Oh maybe maybe
Gotta get it now, if i'm gonna be her baby
Gonna be, yeah

Let's play, not play this record
Waitin' for the telephone to ring
Wiped-out and bitter, with a bag clutched in her hand
All the cars sound like they're
Pulling in the drive
Umm, no, no, no, no, no, uhh
I see her now
A little tear running down her check
Laugh! let down
People looking for me
I want to race down her street and knock hard, hard, hard on the door 'til
Until she breaks down into my arms like a tracy tie, and i feel the pain
I'll be so strong again and again

Come back my brain, yeah
I'm holy again i'll take ya, oh, babe, baby, baby
We're gonna have, oh, baby, baby, my kind of love can only bring you joy
I'm gonna, oh, baby yeah, got far
Give you, baby, baby 'cause it's gonna be me
Umm, hmm, hmm

There was a time, the laughing time
I took my heart to every party
They'd point my way
"how are you today?"
"will you make us laugh? chase our blues away?"
Their funny man won't let them down
No, he'd dance and prance and be their clown
That time, the laughing time
When even a fool learns to love

The clown turned around
And saw her smile, oh how she loved me
She'd clap her hands and beg me stay
To make her laugh, to make her life gay
Who wants the love of all the world
When here was love in the eyes of just one girl
That day, that precious day
When even a fool learns to love

But oh, how i dreamed, a marvelous dream
Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed
With thunderous applause looked down from above
On a clown and an angel so much in love
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream
And even a fool learns to love

That day, that hateful day
The joke turned stale, the game was over
Those spiteful words "oh, go away. who wants to play?"
"it's getting late now."
My world, my funny world
Had lost its mask and shown a broken heart
A time, a sour time
When even a fool learns to love

But oh, how i dreamed, a marvelous dream
Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed
With thunderous applause looked down from above
On a clown and an angel so much in love
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream
And even a fool learns to love

I can't read and i can't write down
I don't know a book from countdown
I don't care which shadow gets me
All i've got is someone's face

Money goes to money heaven
Bodies go to body hell
I just cough, catch the chase
Switch the channel watch the police car

I can't read shit anymore
I just sit back and ignore
Cause i just can't get it right, can't get it right
I can't read shit i can't read shit

Oh

When you see a famous smile
No matter where you run your mile
To be right in that photograph
Andy where's my fifteen minutes

I said
Yeah
I can't read shit anymore
I just can't read shit anymore
No matter i just can't get it right
I can't reach it
I can't reach it
No
No
Uh
Uh
Uh

Lucy i know what you're going to going to do
Oh lucy look what you're doing i'm doing it too
Now you're looking for god in exciting new ways
I say trust him at once which is something these days

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

Did the world just explode?
Don't recognize anyone
But you've still got me under your thumb

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Oh oh oh
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

There's tooling your frenzy in the tole savoy
And the sexual noise which is caught up a toy
You live and you die in the blink of an eye
Well i can't make you dance
Lucy can't dance
Dance to the noise

Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance
Dance to the noise
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do

Lucy can't dance

Lucy can't dance

Lucy i know what you're going to going to do
But you can't buy me off in the stirial (?) world
Who who who died and made you material girl?

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

So i'll spin while my lunatic lyric goes wrong
Guess i'll put all my eggs in a postmodern song

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

Of the show of the fine reality
Just a few simple words like i love you, i need you
Live and to die in the blink of an eye
Still i can't make you dance
Lucy can't dance
Dance to the noise

Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance
Dance to the noise

Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do
Can do
Lucy i know what you're going to going to do
Lucy i know what you're going to going to do
Lucy can't dance
Lucy can't dance
Lucy i know what you're going to going to do

Baby i dream between the blade and the tongue
Of the rose on your cheek the wounded and dumb
We stumble and fall we stumble and fall
Skin on skin but there's heaven in

Heaven's in here
Heaven's in her
Among the twilight and star
Like a rocket to mars
Heaven in here

The first and the last are telling it all
Telling you loud but selling it small
I'm taking a swing at this shadow of mine
Crucifix hangs an' my heart's in my mouth
But it's here

Heaven's in here
Heaven's in her
Among the twilight and stars
Like a rocket to mars
Heaven's in here

Feeling it wanting
Mm mm m
Heaven in

Heaven lies between your marbled thighs
The rustle of your falling gown
We stumble and fall like tragedy falls
We stumble and twirl there's heaven in here
We stumble and fall uncertain we fall
There's flesh on flesh but there's heaven in
Heaven's in here

Heaven's in here
Heaven's in here
Among the twilight and stars
Like a rocket to mars
Heaven's in here

You'll dance to my tongue
We'll dance on the sun
We're the twilight and stars
And there's heaven in here

Heaven
