In a tired part of the city
Hiding from the 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. If 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 world Fighting ??징??쨘 but I'm not free. Talking on the telephone Talking about you and me. If jesus christ could take me here 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. |

You've seen him
In the undirected light of street dreams Doing nothing Standing, like to seem casual With a resemblance to people held by fear. Lit by fire and disrepair. The blue millionaire. Don't listen and keep asking Only stories reach this far. No one's left and no one's coming And I will disappear Far away from you, The American wind, And the blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. There is no such thing as the Wrong Man Blue as the dusk that ended my day And shut off the light and air. I wish I could tell you How he put them in cages, Found you where you slept. Got me down with something else than bruises Tied me to a blue chair Lit by fire and disrepair The blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Seen him drinking gin from pale blue bottles, Drowning in shadow, Shadows moving in. Forever imagine Imagine it's him Nearby the window With dreams broken in. I don't laugh anymore or smile, I am lost in the body, The passion of time. He is screening my dreams And everything that's mine. Don't stay in this mirror Other hands have left me in. You don't blow away as I do. It will be the same again. Turn and point away from here. Steal what you cannot win From the blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue ... |

[Chorus]
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, please, don't! I never said I will, I never said I won't. [Chorus] It's looking bad, I know, I'm an outlaw. Don't pity me, I never felt like this before. Please tell me you believe me, please say I'll get along without you, anyway. [Chorus] Feeling hunted, I'm lying low. Don't tell me who it is, I never said so. Put yourself in my place, please try. I never told the truth, I never told a lie. [Chorus x 2] [Repeats] Falling from grace. Falling from grace, falling from grace. |

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 |

It took a long time coming
That big over the shoulder statement But when it came, it flowed easy as poison Taken in extreme despair [Repeat: x3] Remember to write often In case you have something to tell me, But please don't mention the unexpected guest Staring into empty eyes [Repeat: x3] A long lost confidence and pride Come ringing back, come ringing back To have the shadow back again And happiness that feels like pain. Then you left us To see if you could find it And when you came back, it flowed easy as poison It flowed easy as poison Taken in extreme despair [Repeat: x3] A long lost confidence and pride Come ringing back, come ringing back To have the shadow back again And happiness that feels like pain [Repeat: x2] Happiness that feels like pain. [Repeats] |

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. [Chorus] Running for our lives, At least we're pretending we are. Running for our lives, We never get very far. [Repeat: x3] 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 [Repeat: x3] Into another prison ? [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] We never get very far. [Repeat: x3] We never get |

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. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] "Ireland, Ireland, When will you be free?" "Ireland, Ireland, When will you be free?" |

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 ? |
