America, America, America America, America, America And the rocket's red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there Oh, say, does that star Spangled banner yet wave Over the land of the free And the home of the brave! America, America, America America, America, America America, America, America America, America, America America, America, America America, America ooohhh |

On his lips, her smell, her taste Black hair framing her perfect face With her wonderful mind and her incredible grace And so, he woke, he woke her with a start To offer her his heart For once and for all, forever to keep And the words, that she first heard him speak Were really very sweet He was asking her to marry him, and to Think it over Baby, think it over Think it over Baby, why don't you think it over She said, "Somewhere, there's a faraway place Where all is ordered and all is grace No one there is ever disgraced And everyone there is wise And everyone has taste," And then she sighed, well La Dee Dah Dee Dah You and I have come quite far And we really must watch what we say Because when you ask for someone's heart You must know that you're smart Smart enough to care for it, so I'm gonna Think it over Baby, think it over Think it over Baby, I'm gonna think it over |

The image of the poet's in the breeze
Canadian geese are flying above the trees A mist is hanging gently on the lake my house is very beautiful at night My friend and teacher occupies a spare room he's dead, at peace at last the wandering Jew Other friends had put stones on his grave he was the first great man that I had ever met Sylvia and I got out our Ouija Board to dial a spirit, across the room it soared We were happy and amazed at what we saw blazing stood the proud and regal name Delmore Delmore, I missed all your funny ways I missed your jokes and the brilliant things you said My Dedalus to your Bloom, was such a perfect wit and to find you in my house makes things perfect I really got a lucky life my writing, my motorcycle and my wife And to top it all off a spirit of pure poetry is living in this stone and wood house with me The image of the poet's in the breeze Canadian geese are flying above the trees A mist is hanging gently on the lake our house is very beautiful at night Our house is very beautiful at night our house is very beautiful at night Our house is very beautiful at night |

Waves of fear, attack in the night
waves if revulsion, sickening sights My heart's nearly bursting, my chest's choking tight Waves of fear, waves of fear Waves of fear, squat on the floor looking for some pill, the liquor is gone Blood trips from my nose, I can barely breathe waves of fear, I'm too scared to leave Waves of fear, waves of fear waves of fear, waves of fear I'm too afraid to use the phone I'm too afraid to put the light on I'm so afraid I've lost control I'm suffocating without a word Crazy with sweat, spittle on my jaw what's that funny noise, what's that on the floor Waves of fear, pulsing with death I curse my tremors, I jump at my own step I cringe at my terror, I hate my own smell I know where I must be, I must be in hell Waves of fear, waves of fear waves of fear, waves of fear |

You know it's hard for me
I cannot use the phone In the shape of publicity No relationship is born I feel like a Hercules who's recently been shorn But I have always loved my baby sister Pick me up at eight You'll see me on tv I don't know I don't look well Time's not been good to me But please believe me The blame is all on me I have always loved my baby sister Remember when, we were younger when You would wait for me at school Teacher's friends and brazen sins And I was often cruel But you always believed in me You thought I was the best And now that I got you alone Let me get this off my chest Pick a melody Then count from one to ten I make a rhyme up Then we will try again To laugh or cry or give a sigh To past that might have been And how much I really love my baby sister And how much I really love my baby sister And how much I really love my baby sister ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba |

Legendary hearts tearing up apart with stories of their love their great transcendent loves While we stand here and fight and lose another night of legendary love Legendary loves haunt me in my sleep promises to keep I never should have made I can't live up to this I'm good for just a kiss not legendary love Romeo, oh, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo he's in a car or at a bar or churning his blood with an impure drug He's in the past and seemingly lost forever He worked hard at being good but his basic soul was stained not pure and when he took his bow no audience was clapping Legendary hearts tear us all apart make our emotions bleed crying out in need No legendary love is coming from above it's in this room right now And you've got to fight to make what's right you've got to fight to make what's right You've got to fight to make what's right you've got to fight to keep your legendary love |

I was staring through a telescope at night at a large light in the sky Its spinning lights reminded me of you A star spinning in orbit lighting up the sky Or maybe it was not a star at all I was standing by the Hudson River's edge at night looking out across the Jersey shore At a neon light spelling out some cola's name And I thought your name should be dancing beamed from satellites Larger than any billboard in Times Square Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid I'm the one who loves you in each and every way Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid NYC lovers Tell it to your heart (Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid tell it to your heart) (Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid tell it to your heart) I'm on the roof, it's 5 a.m. I guess I couldn't sleep And I see this spinning light that I saw last week Maybe I should wake you up but by then it might be gone You never know what you see when if you look up in the sky I ran outside down a darkened street listening to my boot heels click My leather jacket squeaked I needed a cigarette When I turned the corner my spinning light was in the street They were filming a commercial on TV Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid we're no teenage movie that ends in tragedy Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid NYC Lovers Tell it to your heart tell it to your heart Tell it to your heart tell it to your heart (Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid tell it to your heart) (Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid tell it to your heart) (Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid tell it to your heart) ... |
