Dust motes in a beam of light
They slow down time Snowflake on a black wool glove Melting in the sunlight Dust motes in a beam of light You left without a fight Dust motes in a beam of light, they slow down time It's cold outside I'll forgive you I'll forgive you I'll forgive you Your transgressions There's a vulture at the end of my bed It's 5 a.m., it thinks I'm dead There's a vulture at the end of my bed Against the window, in silhouette There's a vulture would have me asleep It's looking at me like I'm some piece of meat I'll forgive you I'll forgive you If you die If you die Everybody says I'll be alright I don't think so Cried over my supper It revived, got off the table, started to fly If you die If you die I'll forgive you I'll forgive you I'll forgive you Dust motes in a beam of light They slow down time |

Fear takes my breath away
I'm saving my skin Dogs bark at a stranger's feet I act without thinking Fear fights for the driver's seat Keeps breaking the chain Next time he rides in the boot We got wise to his game We be giant or small Satellite's askew Compensate for fear of falling I'm afraid of you Shadows on the wall I'm afraid of you They dissolve when we start talking You must want it too Fear, fear, fear Fear, fear Fear, fear, fear Fear |

Got the shakes, too much gravy
I'm so fried What did I do? Knuckles scraped, please don't blame me Can't hurt a fly I couldn't hurt you Change my shape when I'm crazy Flat stones skim the surface of water Three strikes, and then they go under Don't tell me it's over Please wait for me, I swear I'll go sober Please wait till this hell freezes over Some people shouldn't mess with the thunder I'll go sober Don't mess with the thunder I'll go dry I'll go dry I'll go dry I'll go dry It's not over |

Glazed eyes turning away
Is it true you're seeing him again? E-mail swiftly erased Is it true you're seeing him again? I caught you on the telephone You've no answer to my question Who's on the line? You were crying on the telephone Is it me, is it him? Show me how to survive Can't afford to divorce I'm so scared, show me how To accept we've run our course Loved you the best of our years We'll survived the sting in this tale Last call, numbers erased We'll survived the sting in this tale After dark when you got home You were walking, said you're walking down by the pier Feel that I'm the last to know There's the children, not the children Show me how to survive Can't afford to divorce I'm so scared, show me how To accept we've run our course Blindfold my love Adjust to betrayal of trust Blindfold my love Adjust to betrayal of trust You left a message on my answer phone There is something you can't tell me Don't have much time Test came back and doctor said There's no answer to the cancer Don't have much time |

I pretend that I know where I'm going
I pretend I know where I came from Or the fear will engulf me completely I chose to waltz this bridge of sighs Act my age in an age of indifference I'm as big as I can dream I forget in the truth of my nature I forget to forgive, so I look away Look away Look away Look away Look away Look away Look away I can't stop, so I carry on I don't trust God is on my side Indirect as the gaze of a geisha I'm still that lost and lonely child Look away Look away Look away Look away Look away Look away All mirrors shattered Poor plastic clown All that really matters You weren't in the building when the walls came crashing down All mirrors shattered Poor plastic clown All that really matters You weren't in the building when the walls came crashing down All mirrors shattered Poor plastic clown All that really matters |

Stand at the curbside and watch the world go by
In this town no one looks you in the eye Where is the place not driven on by time? Where's the city of dreams, a city made of light? Where people laugh more than cry Leave their doors open Fall in love everyday Brave hearts get broken This city aims to love regardless of the bruise We love and marry any sex or race we choose Make for this city Make for this city On the underground, we all look so worn down On the circle line forever going 'round We love our children, not school down, open minds We learn that happiness is the aim of life Make for this city Within our minds Make for this city City of light within our minds Where's the connection to the heart of living? Where's the connection to life? The life we are living is unforgiving Less like a flower than a knife Where's the connection to heart living? Where's the flower of life? We aren't defined by our work and what we own If you can find your way here, you've made it home We love and marry any sex or race we choose There's no one here who use their gods to exclude Make for this city Make for this city Make for this city Make for this city Make for this city Make for this city |

My life
Is just a fake Put my fist right through these walls If I concentrate The paint is wet But I forget I keep drifting off The floors can't take my weight But my pen moves on, keeps writing No mistake What we have, we share all in together Always come prepared whatever the weather What we have, we share all in together Always come prepared whatever the weather I'm late, I'm always late I'm somewhere else Not here and now In time and space I'm lost on a map Where the satellites won't track In an altered state Which leaves no trace I'm late in time And lost in space What we have, we share all in together Always come prepared whatever the weather What we have, we share all in together Always come prepared whatever the weather Rabbit hole, rabbit hole Rabbit hole Rabbit hole, rabbit hole Ooh, rabbit hole Rabbit hole Ooh, rabbit hole Ooh, rabbit hole Ooh, rabbit hole Ooh, rabbit hole, rabbit hole Rabbit hole, rabbit hole Rabbit hole, rabbit hole |

Shot myself, ricochet
Crisis as an opportunity Curtain call to loud applause As you fall upon your sword Wake up in a stranger's bed Hangover and then some Can't remember what was said What's her name or what we've done Wake up in a stranger's head This one stresses income On the rich list, born and bred Blames attached to every sum Shot myself, ricochet Crisis as an opportunity Loud applause Revealing the conceal Loser Shot myself, ricochet Crisis as an opportunity Curtain falls to loud applause The tattoo says it all Hope and glory Here's to hope and glory Where is the peace and the whole In a half-life? I can't control my saboteur Call it my nature Name it addiction Kiss on the lips will soon turn sour Innocence lost in the grip of a hand job After the surge of ecstasy I'm walking out the door Hope and glory Sh sh sh shine like a ghost Sh sh sh shine to be loved the most When you're gone your songs outlive your story Sh sh sh shine like a ghost Sh sh sh shine to be loved the most When you're gone your songs outlive your story Let it shine Let it shine When you're gone your songs outlive your story |

So I'm on my own
Far from my broken home And it costs Feels like ten below Pack me off to school Innocence and trust are all lost Where did my childhood go? Calling from the pay phone Trying not to cry Feeling I am dying Telling you I'm fine You tell me it's the making of me That's a fucking lie When's the holidays? Holidays Holidays I'm at the bottom of my bed Headphones on my head John Peel show Feels like ten below The sky's a dull gun metal Where did the sun go? And it rains, and rains Feels like ten below Turning on the weaker ones when we were bored I used to have feelings but all I feel's a Hole is where the heart is And the organ praise the lord When's the holidays? Holidays Holidays He's at war He's at war With himself, at the world He's at war He will strike first to anticipate He's at war Don't know how to relate Feels like a cold war spy If I'm caught Take the easy way out |

You're going to murder in the name of God
What kind of God you dreaming of A God of blood not love So you can get your 72 Virgins to abuse I hope they kick like mules War My God's bigger than your God He made the world run out of puff More important things to do It's black It's white A fight An elephant grey There's a universe at stake We get in the way Go left Go right Straight on Just do what they say There's a universe at stake We get in the way WAR |

Take an axe to your past
To your family tree Carve a face from the wood An effigy Make wings from the leaves Hide from the bark Kindling for the hair Rose for his heart Someone to draw you right Someone to catch the light Draw the blue from the skies into his eyes Carve the lines on his face A map of the race Juice from the root of a beet for his skin Set the tides of the blood with the pulse of the drum Someone to draw you right Someone to catch the light I'm alive I'm alive Wash the boy in the stream So tenderly Press his lips to your lips Give him your breath He awakes with the weight of the vision he holds Sees the rent in time through which he must fold Someone to draw you right Someone to catch the light I'm alive I'm alive… Stir the heart with a drum Kiss smoke in his mouth Show him signs of a life That's a whole lot better And he calls down the rain Tornadoes & hurricanes There's a world in his veins That's a whole lot better I'm alive I'm alive… Fingers raised to the sky A snake for a spine He's drunk on a life That's a whole lot better Teach him songs of the bees Double helix and honey comb Play him wind through the leaves That's a whole lot better Alive, I'm alive…. |

Feeding their litters Feral kids fight Over rats tailed from gutters Bookie mouth brokers Rotten fruit sellers Pickpockets ghost through the crowd He climbs onto boxes By market stall traders Toothless and grey haired Thousand yard stare He had a vision Which broke the receiver Receiving transmission Surface to air Either way. I'm in awe of you Either way. We'll survive. We'll survive Conjuring devils, Angels and demons Only the children see shape to his tone Laughing and crying His song fell upon us We buried his treasure along with the bones Arms held aloft A Y to the sky Innocent witness He testified Drained of his purpose He falls off the quayside Absorbed by the ocean Rolled by the tide Either way.

Under the power lines Which crackle and sparkle Under the freeway Now mostly rubble The hungry still gather To fill up with stories Of monsters and heroes and men Under the stars Which prick us and call us Connect us to hope That perfection's within is Here on the ground We're reckless and hopeless Damned by the slip of a pen Rambling poets Manic with vision We are the drivers yet we feel driven Moths in the moonlight Fooled by a flashlight Caught in a jam jar Gasping for air Rambling poets Manic with vision We are the drivers yet we feel driven Moths in the moonlight Fooled by a flashlight Caught in a jam jar Gasping for air Either way.

Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure This is a testing time when the choice is mine Am I a fool for love or foolish for desire You can throw him out you can spit on him Call what he does a sin if it makes you feel better And I can't believe you're all I'll ever need And I need to feel that you're not holding me And the way I feel just makes me want to scream Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home, come home After thirty years I've become my fears I've become the kind of man I always hated I am pulled apart, and my swollen heart Has flipped out of the pan into the fire I am in love insane with a sense of shame That I threw stones at the condemned and Now I'm slated And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need And I need to feel that you're not holding me And the way I feel just makes me want to scream Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home, come home |

You may say I am cynical, but I say man is flawed
He has a vague memory of before some fall Behaving like a reptile, but talks of walking tall If god is in his image, the almighty must be small God only knows Swaggart has been caught with his trousers round his knees After damning me and you to hell for eternity Sex and power and money is the prayer of these priests They bribe their way past heaven's gates and steal a set of keys God only knows My guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheep While I was fucking celibate, self-righteous in belief Yesterday he was god, now he is a creep We fell upon each other starving for belief God only knows I speak in the name of god I speak in the name of that white haired old man in the clouds Always a man Dispensing lightening justice from his fingertips Watching you every second of the day Just waiting for you to fuck up I speak in the name of God I'm his intermediary I'm a Mollah, I'm a Priest, I'm a Vicar If you want to go to God You have to come through me Is heaven full, oh lord, of these babbling preachers and God-fearing biggots All these sef-rightious, self-appointed prophets because if so:- I know where I'd rather be Away from this cacophony Away from this cacophony God only knows God only knows God only knows |

This songs made up, made second rate
Cosmetic music, powderpuff Pop tunes, false rhymes, all lightweight bluffs Second-hand ideas, no soul, no hate Wasn't mean to be Built on complacency The nightmares ride away When you refuse to play Oh go and read a book It's so much more worth while Being a song-smith crook Study death in style Death in style This language used is all worn out A walking corpse that won't play dead Disease dragged on from bed to bed Pay for your twist, paid for shout Wasn't meant to be Built on complacency Open your eyes and see That lie is not for we Raise a rope and a knife Cut it out - the lie I don't want to decay Take the short cut away Oh go and read a book It's so much more worthwhile Being a song-smith crook Study death in style Study death in style Heard you calling through the drumbeat Answered with sticks and bones Scream, shout, and dance about the campfire You can hear the question, can you feel the reply? Heard you calling through the drumbeat Heard you calling through the drumbeat Can you hear the question, feel the reply? Can you hear the question, feel the reply?

What a life, a trick of light
Then everything returns to the sea You can have whatever you want But are you disciplined enough to be free? Turning love into a chore Promises come cheap, dear reader Another page, another door Follow, follow me I know what I'm here for Hanging on through late December I know what I'm here for Follow, follow me Follow me Moving on, I don't belong My life turned into a mall Every line is in the song Follow me out of the fall What an actor, what a show Just going through some holy motions The band is sharp, but the singer's slow Everything must go I know what I'm here for Hanging on through late December I know what I'm here for Follow, follow me Follow me Follow me (x8) Souvenirs, polygraph tests Photographs fresh from the wreck What a poster saint he'll make In one take, one take I know what I'm here for Hanging on through late December I know what I'm here for Follow, follow me Follow me Follow me (x8) |

Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again See the jeaned genie on his high-wire act At the back of his mind lies a suicide pact Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again See the young men itching to burn Waiting for their own star turn Needing danger, a war would do If they can't let it out, they'll pick on you Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again See Houdini and his underwater tricks You were sitting at the front, hoping his locks would stick Watch Knievel hit the 17th bus You got crushed in the souvenir rush Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again I said poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again See the young men itching to burn Waiting for their own star turn Needing danger, a war would do If they can't let it out, they'll pick on you Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy Come on, somebody, finish him off please Put the poor fool out of his misery, will you Can't you see he's had enough?

This bed is on fire
With passionate love The neighbours complain about the noises above But she only comes when she's on top My therapist said not to see you no more She said you're like a disease without any cure She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no Ah, you think you're so pretty Caught your hand inside the till Slammed your fingers in the door Fought with kitchen knives and skewers Dressed me up in women's clothes Messed around with gender roles Lined my eyes and call me pretty Moved out of the house, so you moved next door I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home Raid Raid |

I'm so alone tonight
My bed feels larger than when I was small Lost in memories, lost in all the sheets and old pillows So alone tonight, miss you more than I will let you know Miss the outline of your back, miss you breathing down my neck All out to get you, once again They're all out to get you, once again Insecure, what you gonna do Feel so small, they could step on you Called you up, answer machine, when the human touch Is what I need, what I need, what I need, what I need.. what I need is you I need you Looked in the mirror, I don't know who I am any more The face is familiar, but the eyes, the eyes give it all away They're all out to get you, once again, they're all out to get you Here they come again.... Insecure, what you gonna do Feel so small, they could step on you Called you up, answer machine, when the human touch Is what I need, what I need, what I need What I need, what I need, what I need is you... (What I need)... If you let me breathe, if you let me breathe They're all out to get you, once again, they're all out to get you To get you, once again |

Ring ring the bells
Wake the town Everyone is sleeping Shout at the crowd Wake them up This anger’s deeper than sleep Got to keep awake to what is happening I can’t see a thing through my ambition, I no longer feel my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we’ve all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me ... Break break the code Concentrate Let the doors swing open See through all your walls All your floors Now you’re in deeper than sleep Got to keep awake to what is happening I can’t see a thing through my ambition, I no longer feel my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we’ve all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me ... When you let me fall Grew my own wings Now I’m as tall as the sky When you let me drown Grew gills and fins Now I’m as deep as the sea When you let me die My spirit’s free There’s nothing challenging me ... |

Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure Whenever her face is frozen Unable to fake it anymore Her shadow is always with her Her shadow could always keep her small So frightened that he won't love her She builds up a wall Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark She's a star She's a star She's been in disguise forever She's tried to disguise her stellar views Much brighter than all this static Now she's coming through Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark She's a star She's a star Don't tell her to turn down Put on your shades if you can't see Don't tell her to turn down Turn up the flame She's a star She's a star It's a long road It's a great cause It's a long road Its a good call You got it You got it She's a Star |

I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour Secrets I can't keep Inside of the day Swing from high to deep Extremes of sweet and sour Hope that god exists I hope I pray Drawn by the undertow My life is out of control I believe this wave will bear my weight So let it flow Chorus : Oh sit down ( X3 ) Sit down next to me Sit down, down, down, down, down In sympathy Now I'm relieved to hear That you've been to some far out places It's hard to carry on When you feel all alone Now I've swung back down again It's worse than it was before If I hadn't seen such rishes I could live with being poor Chorus Those who feel the breath of sadness Sit down next to me Those who find the're touched by madness Sit down next to me Those who find themselves ridiculous Sit down next to me In love, in fear, in hate, in tears...

I don't want your sympathy Life just never turned out how I wanted it to Could have been a shooting star Should have made it past the bar Would have been a winner if I'd ever got that far What a state I'm in My self pitying Here's another victim Singing suffering If only I had made the grade Been more loved Been less afraid If only I had scored the goal Got the girl Or even played What a state I'm in My self pitying Here's another victim Singing suffering Fall Let it fall away Then rise To be born again Then fall Let it fall away Then rise To be born again My life's turned to minor chords Loser sad And life's a bore Can't see the point of living In this fashion anymore What a state I'm in My self pitying Here's another victim Selling suffering Fall Let it fall away Then rise To be born again Then fall Let it fall away Then rise To be born again |

There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder" Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul There's four new colors in the rainbow An old man's taking polaroids But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his And I swear I can hear the sea Somtimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul (I can touch your soul ) (I can reach your soul) Sometimes |

To perfection Fall into a spin, shed another skin Strip away all your protection Laugh at the wonder of it all Laugh so loud you break the fall And you see the gathering clouds Cry at the sadness of the world Cry so long you break its cold And you hear the gathering sounds Do everything you fear In this there's power Fear is not to be afraid of Laugh at the wonder of it all Laugh so loud you break your fall And you hear the gathering sounds Come, dip on in Leave your bones, leave your skin Leave your past, leave your craft Leave your suffering heart |

The view from here's breathtaking
My visions all surrounding The humans look like insects There is only one way down But it's cold and lonely in this stratosphere Gliding through the darkness Where is my craft leading to Am I damned or blessed? Don't let go on top of the world Don't let go on top of the world Will my good friends desert me Or will they prove themselves? Are my demands all greedy Or are they what I need? If I will not be faithful I must accept betrayal When your turn comes to leave me Will my free ways have failed? Don't let go on top of the world Don't let go on top of the world I'll meet you inside this hollow world I'll meet you inside Hollow world, hollow world It's a long way down It's a long way down And I'm so cold |

I can't believe this happening.
I held it back and now it swings. Just lead me on. You know the way. I know the game I know the pain I've been dreaming of gold I've been dreaming of fame I've been dreaming of change Dreaming up tomorrow Dreaming up tomorrow Tomorrow. I have no fear, I have no shame, But everyone is on the game. They talk of dreams, they walk in sleep I'm half away but in too deep I've been dreaming of fame I've been dreaming of gold I've been dreaming of change Dreaming up tomorrow Dreaming up tomorrow Tomorrow. America is dreaming us. In a hostage's hands there'll be no fuss. A messy dream, a dream of youth, A dream of wealth, no room for truth. I can see all these preachers and they're standing on next to me. A hand in the hand and they're waving at me furiously And I don't know why No, I don't know why. I'm standing on the corner and this man is coming up to me With Bible at his hand and he is bashing at me furiously. He has a soapbox on his head and says that god is dead to me I don't know why No, I don't know why. I've been dreaming of fame I've been dreaming of gold I've been dreaming of change Dreaming up tomorrow Tomorrow. |

We were doing so well, We had broken the spell, And freedom seemed just within reach. We had managed the bend, Between lover and friend, Found a place we could possibly meet, Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I just run headlong to defeat, Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat I'm so hard on myself, Don't deserve any help, So I must let you go, let you go. So I pushed you away, While I hoped you would stay, But I don't let you know, let you know, Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I keep running around to this beat, Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I keep running around to this beat, Yes it's me, I can't help myself, I defeat, I defeat, help me, I can't help myself, I defeat, I defeat, help me, I can't help myself, I defeat, I defeat, help me. |

Lost my house, lost my love
Swept away in a raging flood I... I'm still alive I believe God is testing me, But I can't take what the Lord decrees I... I'm still alive On a Monday life was swell, By Wednesday I'm in Hell But I'm still alive Bankers came to move me on So strapped for cash, I had to sell this song I... I'm still alive Doctor told me I've a terrible disease The dog's run off and the cat's got fleas I... I'm still alive On a Monday life was swell By Wednesday I'm in Hell But I'm still alive By the Thursday life was sad By Good Friday life's too bad But I'm still alive Out the window, four vultures on a tree Licking their beaks and they're talking about me I... I'm still alive |

Falling, falling into you, Falling, no parachute, You lost all self-control, We don't know, Which way you might go, I found a map you left, No use, Can't tell east from west. Heading out on this mercy trail, You look so strong, Feel so frail, Need a friend in this barren land, All your approaches have failed, Hope you come through. Falling, falling into you, Falling, no parachute, Are you receiving me, Read my lips, A foreign language, I'm not deceiving you, Take my hand, It's a bridge. Heading out on this mercy trail, You look so strong, Feel so frail, See the world through a preachers eyes, Now all of your preaching has failed, Hope you come through |

Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in It's just a restless feeling by my side Early dawning Sunday morning It's just the wasted years so close behind Watch out the world's behind you There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all Sunday morning And I'm falling I've got a feeling I don't want to know Early dawning Sunday morning It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago Watch out the world's behind you There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all Sunday morning Sunday morning Sunday morning |

He said I must be dreaming But I thought I heard the sound The sound that lovers make As they drop down from the window Quiet as cats, across the courtyard Moving from shadow to shadow Past the guards to the forest So quiet in her still reflection Drawing them down, drawing them down to the lake To the centre of her attention Steal the moon tonight Before the morning Steal the moon tonight I just love a good mystery And on the West Bank a boat is being pulled Across the sands they move so softly Slip into water Oars dip, don't break the moon's reflection And drift like a cloud To the centre Beneath her cool attention Still water Still water Steal the moon tonight Before the morning Steal the moon tonight I want to drown in your moon dream I've seen you rising from shore to shore I want to drown in your moon dream I've seen you rising Steal the moon tonight Shine Shine Shine |

You might as well surrender now You'll never hold that stance With all my words I can't find one To help you understand It's not too late Take up the cup Put down your weapons and choose But you say life's so unfair Oh you say life's so unfair You can ill aford to hold to this views You need something to blame But it's you Yes it's you It's your truth Someone made you I don't know ,if you're sick I confort You run away My simpathy You twist it Your reflex gets in the way You mother me I son you You act up I can't get through This foosteps So ancient In your eyes I'm your infant Your ancient Full circle In my eyes You're my infant Dead ball in our court There's a dead ball in our court We just say life's so unfair Yes you say life's so unfair You need something to blame But it's you Yes it's you It's your truth |

I wish I could create myself A kool machine designed to help Not always hurting Just plug me in and do the rounds Impress your friends Save yourself pounds I'll not be wanting I wish that things could be that way But every dog must have its say The orchestra's tuning I understand your suffering I felt the same sting in my heart That's why I'm singing Drifting away as lovers do Heads you win and tails I lose Nothing to say much less to do Unhappy me unhappy you I know you want it all to end Transform a love into a friend Magicians can do Gut feelings come Gut feelings go Like rivers we have no control They just keep flowing Yeah, I wish I could create myself A cool machine or someone else A lot less knowing Drifting away as lovers do Heads you win And tails I lose Nothing to say Much less to do Unhappy me Unhappy you Love can heal And love can sting Heads you lose And tails I win Unhappy me Unhappy you Nothing to say And much less to do There's nothing to say I get in the way Unable to break obsession There's nothing to say I get in the way Still unable to break obsession |

Baby's on the lamb tonight Her skies all full of stars And love's just something that always goes wrong That looks and smokes like Ava Gardner Baby's gonna blow your lights Adjust your back - lit charm And if she deems to touch your heart You can tune into your senses Baby's coming alive to her wild side She can burn down the lie to the dream Baby trades you blow for blow Crowns you like a queen But if you stroke her long enough Baby turns to cream Baby's neptune's in your moon Venus in your third She's in bloom from June through June Says, ";love's no noun. love's a reverb"; Baby's coming alive to her wild side She can burn down the lie to the dream |
