Go west
Paradise is there You'll have all that you can eat Of milk and honey over there You'll be the brightest star The world has ever seen Sun-baked slender heroine Of film and magazine Go west Paradise is there You'll have all that you can eat Of milk and honey over there You'll be the brightest light The world has ever seen The dizzy height of a jet-set life You could never dream Your pale blue eyes Strawberry hair Lips so sweet Skin so fair You're future bright Beyond compare It's rags to riches Over there San Andreas Fault Moved it's fingers Through the ground Earth divided Plates collided Such an awful sound San Andreas Fault Moved its fingers Through the ground Terra cotta shattered And the walls came Tumbling down Oh promised land Oh wicked ground Build a dream Tear it down Oh promised land What a wicked ground Build a dream Watch it all fall down |

Doctors have come from distant cities just to see me
Stand over my bed, disbelieving what they're seeing They say I must be one if the wonders of God's own creation And as far as they see they can offer no explaination Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions They reach into my head to steal the glory, of my story They say I must be one if the wonders of God's own creation And as far as they see they can offer no explaination Chorus: Oooh I believe, that Fate smiled and Destiny, Laughed as she came to my cradle "Know this child will be able" Laughed as my body she lifted, "Know this child will be gifted, with love, with patience, and with faith, she'll make her way, she'll make her way" People see me, I'm a challange to your balance, I'm over your heads how I confound you, and astound you to know I must be one if the wonders of God's own creation And as far as you see you can offer no explaination Oooh I believe, that Fate smiled and Destiny, Laughed as she came to my cradle "Know this child will be able" Laughed as she came to my mother "Know this child will not suffer" Laughed as my body she lifted, "Know this child will be gifted, with love, with patience, and with faith, she'll make her way, she'll make her way" "She'll make her way" Ooooh hoo hoo hoo, ooooh hooo hooo hoo |

Young and strong Hollywood son
In the early morning light This star fell down On Sunset Boulevard Young and strong beautiful one We embrace so close Is gone Was torn away Let the youth of America mourn Include him in their prayers Let his image linger on Repeat it everywhere With candles and flowers He was one of ours One of ours Why don't you let him be? He's gone We know Give his mother and his father peace Your vulture's candor Your casual slander You murder his memory He's gone We know It's nothing but a tragedy Lay to rest your soul and body Lay beside your name Lay to rest your rage Your hunger and amazing grace With candles and flowers You were one of ours One of ours I saw cameras expose your life I heard rumours explode with liES I saw children in tears Cry and crowd around the sight Of where you had collapsed that day Where your last breath and word Had been sighed Where your heart had burst Where you had died I saw how they were lost and grieving All half believing you were gone The loss and the pain of it Crime and the shame of it You were gone It was such a nightmare raving "How can we save him From himself" |

Well, I've walked these streets
A virtual stage It seemed to me Makeup on their faces Actors took their places next to me Well, I've walked these streets In a carnival of sights to see All the cheap thrill-seekers The vendors and the dealers They crowded around me Have I been blind? Have I been lost inside myself and my whole mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen? Well, I've walked these streets In a spectacle of wealth and poverty In the diamond market The scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me And I've walked these streets In the madhouse asylum they can be Where a wild-eyed mystic prophet on a traffic island stopped And he raved of saving me Have I been blind? Have I been lost inside myself and my whole mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen Have I been wrong? Have I been wise to shut my eyes and play along? Hypnotized, paralyzed by what my eyes have found By what my eyes have seen What they have seen? Have I been blind? Have I been lost? Have I been wrong? Have I been wise? Have I been strong? Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized By what my eyes have found? In that great street carnival Have I been blind? Have I been lost? Have I been wrong? Have I been wise? Have I been strong? Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized By what my eyes have found? In that great street carnival, in that carnival |

I may know the word
But not say it I may know the truth But not face it I may hear a sound A whisper sacred and profound But turn my head Indifferent I may know the word But not say it I may love the fruit But not taste it I may know the way To comfort and to sooth A worried face But fold my hands Indifferent If I'm on my knees I'm begging now If I'm on my knees Groping in the dark I'd be prying for deliverance From the night into the day But it's all grey here It's all grey to me I may know the word But not say it This may be the time But I might waste it This may be the hour Something move me Someone prove me wrong Before night comes With indifference If I'm on my knees I'm begging now If I'm on my knees Groping in the dark I'd be prying for deliverance From the night into the day But it's all grey here But it's all grey to me I recognize the walls inside I recognize them all I've paced between them Chasing demons down Until they fall In fitful sleep Enough to keep their strength Enough to crawl Into my head With tangled threads They riddle me to solve Again and again and agan |

If I ever write this letter
The pages I could write But I don't know where to send it You have vanished Heaven knows where you live Heaven only knows If I ever write this letter Bitter words it would complain Just an unrequited lover Wishing she had never Spoken your name Had ever known your name But if I ever write this letter The truth it would reveal Knowing you brought me pleasure How I'll often treasure Moments that we knew The precious The few |

Oooh, jealousy
Is she fine So well bred The perfect girl A social deb? Is she the sort You've always thought Could make you What you're not? Oooh, jealousy Is she bright So well read Are there novels By her bed? Is she the sort You've always said Could satisfy Your head? Oooh, my jealousy Does she talk The way I do Is her voice reminding you Of the promises The little white lies too Sometimes, tell me While she's touching Just by mistake Accidentally do you say my name |

Climbing under
A barbed wire fence By the railroad ties Climbing over The old stone wall I am bound for the riverside Well I go to the river To soothe my mind Ponder over The crazy days of my life Just sit and watch the river flow Find a place On the riverbank Where the green rushes grow See the wind In the willow tree In branches hanging low Well I go to the river To soothe my mind To Ponder over The crazy days in my life Watch the river floe Ease my mind and soul Where I go Well I go to the river From time to time Wander over These crazy days in my mind Watch the river flow Where the willow branches grow By the cool rolling waters Moving gracefully and slow Child it's lovely Let the river take it all away The mad pace, the hurry The troubles, the worries Just let the river take them all away Flow away |

How did I love you?
There was no measuring Far above this dirty world Far above everything In your tower over it You were clean So warm and insightful Were you in my life I was sure the rightful Guardian of my life Damn you betrayer How you lied But for seven years You were loved I laid golden orchid crowns Around your feet For seven years I bowed down To touch the ground So wholly your devotee You were all I could see I've got my sight now I see everything you hid So don't you try to right now All the wrong you did I might forget you But not forgive But for seven years You were loved I laid golden orchid crowns Around your feet For seven years I bowed down To touch the ground So wholly your devotee For seven years You were so revered I made offerings Of anything and everything I had You were All I could see |
