1. _ Times Square
In a tired part of the city
Waiting for some fast talk
Watch 'don't walk' to 'walk'
Easy when you're dreaming
Staring at the movies
Standing in a circle,
Laughing at the wrong time.
Alcohol could take me there.
I'd take a shot a minute
And be there by the hour.
Take a walk around times square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the tv.
In a car taking a back seat
Staring out the window
Thinking about danger.
Playing in a wrong chord
Fighting but I'm not free.
Talking on the telephone
Talking about you and me.
Jesus christ could take me there
I'd fall dawn on my knees,
Have no questions to his answers.
Take a walk around times square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the tv.
Alcohol could take me there.
I'd take a shot a minute
And be there by the hour.
Take a walk around times square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the tv.
And if i die gaining my senses
Wake up in a hotel
Staring at the ceiling.

2. _ Ashes In My Hand
It took a long time coming
That big over the shoulder statement
But when it came |
3. _ Morning Come
When will the morning come ?
I wait in darkness so long.
Will the sun ever rise again ?
Hours flowing over me
I wait in vain for some change.
Will light ever pierce this pain ?
Riding on a humming bird's wing,
Caravans fleeing from the east.
May the pilgrim join in the feast.
How will the morning be ?
I watched the dawn in my dreams
And imagined the day for years.
Shall i feel warmth again
And feel it true when they say
That the day never ends in tears ?
Riding on a humming bird's wing,
Caravans fleeing from the east.
May the pilgrim join in the feast.
Tell me please,
How will it come
This release,
A crack in the door.
Shall i feel warm again
And feel it true when they say
That the day never ends in tears ?
Beyond and back of the wind
Little birds fly into the sea.
Morning light shine on me.
Oh, tell me please, how will she come
Surrounding me, the opening door ?
Riding on a humming bird's wing,
Caravans fleeing from the east.
May the pilgrim join in the feast
Beyond and back of the wind
Little birds fly into the sea.
Morning light shine on me.
Riding on a humming bird's wing,
Caravans fleeing from the east ...

4. _ She's Got A Problem
In the end will it matter that you've gone ?
In the end will i go on minding that you've gone ?
Will the night always seem so long,
Is it really darkest before dawn ?
Will i see whiskey as a mother in the end ?
In the end will i smash my brains with drinking
Till i fall down on the floor,
Will i hiccup and jabber,
Saying things i never meant ?
Will i kiss and cry and wake to find
A sordid stranger by my bed ?
Will the world shake its sensible head
And say the words that have to be said:
"she's got a problem."
Every problem has a solution in the end
And solutions must be final
For help gets so unhelpful near the end.
When i take my last ride
Down the big dipper slide,
Will i care, will it matter
If the world should say:
"she had a problem."
She had a problem.
She had a problem.
In the end will it matter that you've gone ?
In the end will i go on minding that you've gone ?
Will the night always seem so long,
Is it really darkest before dawn ?
Will i see whiskey as a mother
In the end ?

5. _ Ireland
There is a land that i can go to
When i have time to rest.
All the people i love are there
And those who love me best.
Then i heard the wind
Calling from over the sea
Saying, "ireland, ireland,
When will you be free ?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free ?"
This land i go to when i'm tired
And need to see and walk in green.
The people who can laugh and drink
And see things others have not seen.
Then i heard the wind
Calling from over the sea,
Saying, "ireland, ireland,
When will you be free ?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free ?"
There is another side to this pure land,
A side of blood and guilt and pain
A side of enemy and friend
And sorrow at the hearth side stain.
Then i heard the wind
Crying from over the sea,
Saying, "ireland, ireland,
When will you be free ?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free ?"
There is a land that i can go to
When i have time to rest.
All the people i love are there
And those who love me best.
Then i heard the wind
Calling from over the sea,
Saying, "ireland, ireland,
When will you be free ?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free ?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free ?"
"ireland, ireland,
When will you be free ?"

6. _ Falling From Grace
Falling from grace, falling from grace,
Lord, you have a pretty face.
Take it away and pack it in a suitcase
Then forget about falling from grace.
Don't look at me like that, i never said a word.
Don't ask me where i've been, i'll pretend i never heard.
Don't put it in the paper |
7. _ The Blue Millionaire
You've seen him
In the undirected light of street dreams
Doing nothing |
8. _ Running For Our Lives
Move along staying close to the wall
Looking over your shoulder just in time.
Avoid the light, close your eyes
And put your hand in mine.
And put your hand in mine.
Are we in danger, or is it that
You think we might be ?
But i think i'd like to get out of here,
This place it frightens me,
This place it frightens me.
Running for our lives,
At least we're pretending we are.
Running for our lives,
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
Stop pretending
This is a child's adventure,
The only way i can take it
Is playing the game.
Be quiet, there's a gate ahead.
Do you think we can make it ?
Will it be different, or just the same ?
How long can we keep escaping,
How long can we keep escaping,
How long can we keep escaping
Into another prison ?
Running for our lives,
At least we're pretending we are.
Running for our lives,
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
Move along staying close to the wall,
Looking over your shoulder just in time.
Avoid the light, close your eyes
And put your hand in mine
And put your hand in mine.
Running for our lives,
At least we're pretending we are.
Running for our lives,
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get very far.
We never get ...
