I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my love on stages With 10,000 people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you I know your image of me is what I hope to be I treated you unkindly, but darling can't you see There's no one more important to me Darling can't you please see through me 'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you You taught me precious secrets Of the truth, withholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now, I'm so much better And if my words don't come together Listen to the melody, 'cause my love's in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space and time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song to you But I love you in a place where there's no space and time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing my song Singing this song for you |

I'm up on the tightrope , one sides hate and one is hope It's a circus game with you and me. I'm up on the tightwire , linked by life and the funeral pyre But the tophat on my head is all you see. And the wire seems to be the only place for me A comedy of errors and I'm falling Like a rubber neck giraffe, you look into my past Well, baby you're just to blind to see. I'm up in the spotlight, oh does it feel right The altitude seems to really get to me. I'm up on the tightwire linked by life and the funeral pyre Putting on a show for you to see. |

Yeah, I'm Lost in the night
the icy wind is howlin out your name and desolation lingers like a fog the fire is growing dimmer in the wind I'm out in the rain the moon has gone behind the cloud again and I can`t stand to live another day Cause my Bluebird went away And I'm locked in this room with my sorrow no escape, no way to get away And my only connection with tomorrow is hoping that You might decidenot to stay away Oh I'm out on a limb If I could only find sweet love again to live my life this way is too much to bare Can't find my Bluebird anywhere anywhere oh... Oh, I'm Lost in the rain the icy wind is howlin out your name and desolation lingers like a fog the fire is growing dimmer with the wind I'm out in the rain the moon has gone behind the cloud again I can't stand to live another day Bluebird why did you, go away, tell me Bluebird why did you go away Oh, Little Bluebird why did you, go away, tell me Bluebird why did you go away |

Are we really happy with
This lonely game we play Looking for the right words to say Searching but not finding Understanding anyway We're lost in this masquerade Both afraid to say we're just too far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over But the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play Throughts of leaving disappear Every time I see your eyes No matter how hard I try To understand the reason That we carry on this way We're lost in this masquerade We could just start over but it's oh so hard to do When you're lost in a masquerade |

Well it's such a strange world that I'm living in
She was my woman and she was my friend But I was wrong again. Such a strange changes that you put me through But like a fool I fell in love with you What can this poor boy do? Roll away the stone Don't leave me here alone Resurrect me and protect me Don't leave me laying here What will they do in two thousand years? It's such a strange time that we're passing through I thought you'd tell me when your time was due I guess you thought I knew Strange way to keep avoiding me Why did you lie how could I help but be Oh won't you help me be? |

Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you, girl
What can I do without you in my life? I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way The hardest one to lose of all the games we played But the time is past for living in a dream world Lying to myself can't make that scene Of wondering if you love me or just making a fool of me Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island Chorus: And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down) Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in) But I'll be thinking of you (yes, and I'll be thinking of you) And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been) Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry) Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die) Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island Well all the fun has died, It's raining in my heart I know down in my soul I'm really gonna miss you But it had to end this way with all the games we played Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island |

How many days has it been
Since I was born How many days until I die Do I know any ways That I can make you laugh Or do I only know how to make you cry When the baby looks around him It's such a sight to see He shares a simple secret With the wise man He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land How many miles will it take To see the sun And how many years until it's done Kiss my confusion away in the night Lay by side when the morning comes And the baby looks around him And shares his bed of hay With the burrow in the palace of the king He's a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Well, I don't exactly know What's going on in the world today Don't know what there is to say About the way the people are treating Each other, not like brothers Leaders take us far away from ecology With mythology and astrology Has got some words to say About the way we live today Why can't we learn to love each other It's time to turn a new face To the whole world wide human race Stop the money chase Lay back, relax Get back on the human track Stop racing toward oblivion Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in And that's a thing Do you recognize the bells of truth When you hear them ring Won't you stop and listen To the children sing Won't you come on and sing it children He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land |

Sometimes I get impatient
But she cools me without words And she comes so sweet and softly My hummingbird and have you heard That I thought my life had ended But I find that it's just begun Cause she gets me where I live I'll give all I have to give I'm talking about that hummingbird Oh she's little and she loves me Too much for words to say When I see her in the morning sleeping She's little and she loves me To my lucky day Hummingbird don't fly away (woah yeah) When I'm feeling wild and lonesome She knows the words to say And she gives me understanding In her special way And I have to say In my life I'll love no other Because she's more than I deserve And she gets me where I live I'll give her everything i have to give I'm talking about that hummingbird Oh she's little and she loves me Too much for words to say When I see her in the morning sleeping She's little and she loves me To my lucky day Hummingbird don't fly away Don't fly away don't fly away Don't fly away Don't fly away |

Gonna tell you a story that you wont believe
But I fell in love last friday evenin With a girl I saw on a bar room t.v. screen Well I was just gettin ready to get my hat When she caught my eye and I put it back And I ordered myself a couple o more shots and beers The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena She was five foot six and two fifteen A bleached-blonde mama With a streak of mean She knew how to knuckle And she knew how to scuffle and fight And the roller derby program said That she was built like a fridgerator with a head Her fans call her tuffy But all her buddies called her spike You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena Round and round, go round and round Round and round, go round and round Round and round Well I could not help it But to fall in love With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin of Things looked kind of bad Until the day she skated into my life Well she might be nasty She might be fat But I never met a person Who would tell her that Shes my big blonde bomber My heavy handed hackensack mama You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena Round and round, go round and round Round and round, go round and round Round and round |

Hung up in a Pennsylvania mining town
Got down to Boston in time for tea Don't know exactly just what's going down Better hang around until I see. She uses beauty like a knife She cuts me even more, she changes Right before my eyes into something ugly and sore. Beauty like a knife She cuts me even more, she changes Right before my eyes into something strange and more. Don't bomb the inn, I'm on a holiday But Oklahoma's just a jet away And the blood is on the books in Ohio So badly stained, what can I say? |

Standing by the highway
Suitcase by my side No place I want to go Just thought I'd hitch a ride Many people look my way And many pass me by In moments of reflection I wonder why To the theives I'm a bandit The mothers I'm a son To the preachers I'm a sinner Lord I'm not the only one To the sad ones I'm unhappy To the losers I'm a fool To the students I'm a teacher With the teachers I'm in school To the hobos I'm in prison By everything I own To the soldiers I'm just someone else Dying to go home The Generals sees a number A politician's tool To my friends I'm just an equal In this world Magic Mirror won't you tell please Do I find myself in anyone I see Magic Mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would To policemen I'm suspicious It's in the way I look I'm just another character To feed and brand and book To the censor I'm pornography With no redeeming grace To the hooker I'm a customer Without a face And the sellers think I'm merchandise They'll have me for a song The left ones think I'm right The right ones think I'm wrong And many people look my way And many pass me by And in my quite reflection I wonder why Magic Mirror won't you tell me please Do I see myself in anyone I meet Magic Mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would |
