Cain told Abel, "Brother, you'd better get busy We got watermelon burnin' up out there in the sun" Abel said, "Cain, brother, you're drivin' me silly Raisin' up this fruit trader bull, you know it ain't no fun" We're just yellin' in the dark We're just pissin' in the wind From underneath the sheets that we pray from Better let a little bit of this goodness get in So Cain rose up and he slay his brother The human soul and violence sometimes can be the next of kin And feelings are real in moments of desperation When the lowest dimension of the animal is let in We're just yellin' in the dark We're just pissin' in the wind From underneath the sheets that we pray from Better let a little bit of this goodness get in Ain't got no purpose, ain't got no direction, I ain't got no morals Ain't got no politics, ain't got no particular point of view What I've got is plenty of time on my hands, Ol' Skinny's playground Hey, Lord, tell me again, what you want me to do? We're just yellin' in the dark We're just pissin' in the wind From underneath the sheets that we pray from Better let a little bit of this beauty Better let a little bit of this goodness get in |

See the moon roll across the stars See the seasons turn like a heart Your father's days are lost to you This is your time here to do what you will do Your life is now your life is now your life is now In this undiscovered moment Lift your head up above the crowd We could shake this world If you would only show us how Your life is now Would you teach your children to tell the truth Would you take the high road if you could choose Do you believe you're a victim of a great compromise 'Cause I believe you could change your mind and change our lives (repeat chorus) Would you teach your children to tell the truth This is your time here to do what you will do (repeat chorus twice) |

We rode our horses in the city Didn't we love living there Now it's gone to those more beautiful 'Cause younger is always so pretty The marmalade the bed we made Seemed to stretch out into forever And we tried to stay together Yeah we tried to stay together Yeah, hey we had some good times Reckless at heart but never, never unkind In a perfect world we'd have done just fine We're positively crazy now |

Holly told me, "You better give me a child" I said, "Holly, there's no way We don't even like each other all that much We couldn't make it one more day" She said, "You better look out, buster The next time you see me you're gonna pay" I said, "Holly, I'm not running anymore But I'm on my way" I'm on my way I'm on my way I'm on my way But I'm not running anymore Well I got two circus clowns here who like to fight They got one black eye and a bloody nose They are the hoodlums of my third wife Whatever I say they will oppose I try to teach those clowns something Like how to make it day to day I say, "Hey, you kids, I'm not running anymore But I'm on my way" I'm on my way I'm on my way I'm on my way And I'm not running anymore Well I look in the mirror - what the hell happened to me? Whatever I had has gone away I'm not the young kid that I used to be So I push the hair back out of my face That's O.K., I knew this would happen But I was hopin' not today Hey Baby, I'm not running anymore But I'm on my way I'm on my way I'm on my way I'm on my way And I'm not running anymore I'm on my way I'm on my way I'm on my way And I'm not running anymore For sure! |

I stand here a black man I have no history I was brought up in East Chicago And I grew up on the streets The chains around the playground were the chains around my heart The brand upon my shoulder Well it reminds you who you are And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true I was just a young girl My mother called me "Hon" My father was unhappy 'Cause I should have been his son They said, "Learn to be a waitress and learn to be a wife And be thankful for a chance to live an ordinary life" And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true My life is a contradiction of sorrow and desire I drag my heart across the ash to throw it on the fire Maybe there's a reason and could there be a plan Or are we all just fools to think we'll understand And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true |

I'm tired of being grateful for a chance to take a dive I'm sick of everything I do just to keep myself alive When you cut away the skin that bears the brand Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am Standin' in the darkness Someone call my name out Standin' in the darkness Someone put the flame out Standin' in the darkness Baby, there I am Where the world began Saw the man in Jamaica, he had a shadow on his back I recalled the ring of fire, and he wore his suit of black When the legend and the ocean meet the sand Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am Standin' in the darkness Someone call my name out Standin' in the darkness Someone put the flame out Standin' in the darkness Baby, there I am Where the world began Everyone is so fabulous, hey, we all got our gun Old Snakey's not a sinner, no, he just shows us how it's done When you separate the wretched from the damned Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am Standin' in the darkness Someone call my name out Standin' in the darkness Someone put the flame out Standin' in the darkness Baby, there I am Where the world began |

Hey, don't I know you from somewhere Yeah, it was down in New Orleans In one of those back-street bars in the quarter Between Desire and Honalee You were dancin' with a friend of Michael's I remember how we met You were talkin' to ol' Jimmy And you lit my cigarette How come you can't remember? This is me you're talkin' to From May through September It was all about me 'n you, Baby It was all about me 'n you Well it looks like to me That you have conveniently forgotten everything This confusion that has surrounded you Is this your morality and not your brain You've got a birthmark below your navel You wear a size seven and a half shoe You got this Rolex watch that I suspect you cobbed From that doctor who said he loved you How come you can't remember? This is me you're talkin' to From May through September It was all about me 'n you, Baby It was all about me 'n you Well you told me that you lived in the wind Like a bird who never touched the ground And if you did you would surely die without making a sound "Live, let's live", that's all you kept sayin' And our summer was full of life We're gonna send them a postcard, and show 'em what it's like to be alive But I never wanted to leave your side No, I just couldn't believe that you'd lie No, I never wanted to say "good-bye" baby How come you can't remember? This is me you're talkin' to From May through September It was all about me 'n you, Baby It was all about me 'n you |
