We will fly
Way up high Where the cold wind blows Or in the sun Laughing having fun With the people that she knows And if the situation Should keep us separated You know the world won't fall apart And you will free the beautiful bird That's caught inside your heart Can't you hear her? Oh she cries so loud Casts her wild note Over water and cloud That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' We'll be riding on the horses, yeah Way up in the sky, little darlin' And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up You will grow And until you go I'll be right there by your side And even then Whisper the wind And she will carry up your ride I hear all the people of the world In one bird's lonely cry See them trying every way they know how To make their spirit fly Can't you see him? He's down on the ground He has a broken wing Looking all around That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' You go riding on the horses, yeah Way up in the sky, little darlin' And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up Can't you hear her? Oh she cries so loud Casts her wild note Over water and cloud I'll pick you up darlin' if you fall Don't worry 'bout a thing little girl Because I was young myself not so long ago And when I was young When I was young And when I was young, oh I was a wild, wild one. |

Sal was working at Nyro's nook in downtown
Selling articles of congress to these people downtown He was pretty sleezy when I met him A weasel in a poor boy's wool Sal lives in a black vinyl pen in New Jersey Buys his meat from a whore next door Wants it rare but he gets it well A weasel on a short order floor So, Sal, say good-bye to your mom and your dad Sal, say good-bye to the barrio Sal, say good-bye to your buddies and your pals Angela, Perry and Mario Kid Sinister with the Bus Stop Blues A quarter could take you home A dime could make a dream come true But a weasel ain't got a dime for the phone ( Does a weasel got a dime for the phone ? ) So, Sal, say good-bye to your mom and your dad Sal, say good-bye to the barrio Sal, say good-bye to your buddies and your pals Angela, Perry and Mario You dancin' in the welfare lines, Sal Actin' like some jerk-off fool When we could lay out eatin' peaches on the beaches A weasel in a white boy's cool But we're all in a white boy's school ( Just like a weasel ) |

A monk with a hard on in a lavender robe
That scratches his thighs for the height that he strode As he follows a path filled with harried desire And mimics his footsteps and sets his prayers on fire Glad to have chosen that which left no choice To sing without loving in a solitary voice To observe with passion each careful denial The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while Sometimes I see you eating berries and weeds You're brushing your teeth with licorice seeds Standing too close, holding your clothes Smiling at God, the meaning of life grows No, no I'll never tell and I'll never know What candles you light after the show And I'll never tell and I'll never ask The meaning of life after mass |

It must be love that whispers in my ear
It must be love that we keep trying to hear Cuz I imagined this kind of vvonderful choice I imagine you hear the very same voice When I speak to you You say "That's just my imagination" Oh no, no, no It Must Be Love It Must Be Love Perhaps one girl who was moving in a fine line Finds one boy in back That she can always stand behind And it's you and me Cuz that's where we want to be Oh, It Must Be Love, It Must Be Love People look through everything they see Cuz there's so many other things to be I have seen you walking in the rain I wanted to know why you were crying I wanna fix what's wrong... It must be love the sailor sails for Must be love that drives a bottle to the bottom of the ocean floor Because I imagine all kinds of wonderful water I would have you there wherever I'll go Way from the seventh sea, He brings the bottle back to me Oh, It Must Be Love Oh, It Must Be Love People look through evervthing thev see There's so many other things to be I have seen you walking in the rain I want to know whv vou were crying Baby, let me fix what's wrong... It must be love that fathoms the moonlight Must be love that shallovvs The deepest part of the night So you can show them vvith vour eye The things that make them cry, Because that Must Be Love It Must Be Love...

Take a walk around midnight in the city
Young Blood is hiding there somewhere If you're looking for something to do There's always something happening there Like I & Bragger, we borrowed a coupe to day Here come Pepe and she's got a friend with a chevrolet But she ain't running She's walking a little slow And she ain't crying-- she's just singing a little low They say this city will make you dirty But you look alright You feel real pretty when he's holding you tight City will make you mean But that's just make-up on your face Love will wash you clean in the night's disgrace Find a block where your people can find you Keep a third eye watching behind you You never know when you're making a memory They will wish they were here together again, someday Kids looking for something to get into-- Take a look Two for the movie show Three for the back row Hold on tight! Remember, you might have looked like cool twelve But your fuse just felt like dynamite Take a walk around midnight in the city Young Blood will find you there, somewhere And if you're looking for something to do There's always something happening there |

A long stretch of headlights
Bends into I-9 Tiptoe into truck stops And sleepy diesel eyes Volcanoes rumble in the taxi And glow in the dark Camels in the driver's seat A slow, easy mark But you ran out of gas Down the road a piece Then the battery went dead And now the cable won't reach... It's your last chance To check under the hood Last chance She ain't soundin' too good, Your last chance To trust the man with the star You've found the last chance Texaco Well, he tried to be Standard He tries to be Mobil He tried living in a world And in a shell There was this block-busted blonde He loved her - free parts and labor But she broke down and died And threw all the rods he gave her But this one ain't fuel-injected Her plug's disconnected She gets scared and she stalls She just needs a man, that's all It's her last chance Her timing's all wrong Her last chance She can't idle this long Her last chance Turn her over and go Pullin' out of the last chance Texaco The last chance |

She was pregnant in May
Now they're on their way Dashing thru the snow To St. John's, here we go Well, it could be a boy But it's okay if he's girl Oh, these things that grow out of The things that we give We should move to the west side They still believe in things That give a kid half a chance When he pulled off the road Step in a waltz of ted moon-beams Said he fit an APB, A robbery nearby And he go for his wallet And they thought he was going for a gun And the cops blew Bird away Some kids like watching Saturday cartoons Some girls listen to records all day in their rooms But what do birds leave behind, of the wings that they came with If a son's in a tree building model planes? Skeletons, Skeletons. |

I say this was no game of chicken
You were aiming your best friend That you wear like a switchblade on a chain around your neck I think you picked this up in Mexico from your dad Now its daddy on the booze And Brando on the ice Now it's Dean in the doorway With one more way he can't play this scene twice So you drug her down every drag of this forbidden fit of love And you told her to stand tall whet you kissed her But that's not where you were thinking... How could a Natalie Wood not get sucked into a scene so custom tucked? How now look who shows up In the same place In this case I think it's better To face it - We belong together We belong together Once Johnny the King made a spit ring And all the skid kids saw a very, very proud man And he entwine her in his finger And she lay there like a baby in his hand And climb upon the rooftop docks lookin' out on the crosstown seas And he wraps his jacket across her shoulders And he falls and hugs and holds her on his knees But a sailor just takes a broad down to the dark end of the fair To turn her into a tattoo That will whisper Into the back of Johnny's black hair And now Johnny the King walks these streets without her in the rain Lookin' for a leather jacket And a girl who wrote her name forever A promise that - We belong together We belong together Shall we weigh along these streets Young lions on the lam? Are the signs you hid deep in your heart All left on neon for them? Who are foolish Who are victim Of the sailors and the ducky boys who would Move into your eyes and lips and Every tear That falls down on the neighborhood now I said "Bird, w |

I and Braggar, and Junior Lee, well that's the way we always thought it would be In the wind-strewn leaves of September, how we met Decked out like aces, we'd beat anybody's bet Cuz we was Coolsville....cuz we was Coolsville Well you stick it here; you stick it over there; but it never fits And now a hungry night you want more and more and you chip in your little kiss. Well, I jumped all his jokers, but he trumped all my tricks And I swear to God I thought this one was smart enough to stick it into Coolsville.....yeah stick it into Coolsville... So now it's J and B, and me, and that sounds close, but it ain't the same (well, that's okay) Hot City don't hurt that much but everything feels the same Well the real thing come and the real thing go... Well the real thing is back in town... Ask me if you wanna know The way to Coolsville.... (Well I hear you wanna go back to Coolsville... Well come on honey, take you back...to Coolsville) |

Down there by the river is a man
Whose born is twisted into shapes Unknown to the wicked and the wise And he bears the look of an animal Who's seen things no animal should ever see He has been driven beyond all towns And all the systems until now though it is Long past too far he keeps going Because it's a desert Because it's a desert We come to the river We'll walk away from all this now We come to the water We'll walk away from all this now She first saw him he was standing in the doorway Illuminated from behind by a light Though imaginary posses chased them To these distant adobes Standing on the cliffs today I thought I saw you below My shadow growing smaller It's a desert because Because it's a desert They'll be asking me about you forever I guess We come to the river We'll walk away from all this now We come to the water We'll walk away from all this now Long coats on the prairie Lying in the dust Who can I turn to ? Who can I trust ? Were you walking on the water ? Playing in the sun ? But the world is turning faster Than it did when I was young When I was young When I was young Oh, when I was young I was a wild, wild one |

Hold me love, I can't sleep again
Will I have to kiss your nose? I wanna lay here next to him, love I remember walking in the rain Rain was falling on my hands I don't wanna live through that again, no Outside the heart it gets dark now And I was walking in the park now Children singing songs that Will now make all our dreams come true I'm in love with you I know it takes is love Love is a healing thing When you give everything You're loving the world The world gives you love to hold onto Remembering, we seldom remember love [Chorus:] (Somewhere) Just give me many chances (Far away) I'll see you through it all (Remember) Just give me time to learn to crawl In September, when the rain comes, and the wind blows, I will see you walking in that coat, oh And if you let me, I will keep you here inside the stars, I will love the sound of my sheets Oh, you have moved beneath them [Chorus] |
