You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something me myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just just a little bit of money we won't have to drive too far Just cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living see my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working I say his body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone be be someone be someone be someone You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone be someone be someone You got a fast car And I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving suburbs I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone be someone be someone You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way |

People say it doesn't exist
'Cause no one would like to admit That there is a city underground Where people live everyday Off the waste and decay Off the discards of their fellow man Here in subcity life is hard We can't receive any government relief I'd like to give Mr. President my honest regards For disregarding me They say there's too much crime in these city streets My sentiments exactly Government and big business hold the purse strings When I worked I worked in the factories I'm at the mercy of the world I guess I'm lucky to be alive They say we've fallen through the cracks They say the system works But we won't let it Help I guess they never stop to think We might not just want handouts But a way to make an honest living Living this ain't living What did I do to deserve this Had my trust in god Worked everyday of my life Thought I had some guarantees That's what I thought At least that's what I thought Last night I had another restless sleep Wondering what tomorrow might bring Last night I dreamed A cold blue light was shining down on me I screamed myself awake Thought I must be dying Thought I must be dying |

If you wait for me then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far I always hold a place for you in my heart If you think of me, If you miss me once in awhile Then I'll return to you I'll return and fill that space in your heart Remembering Your touch Your kiss Your warm embrace I'll find my way back to you If you'll be waiting If you dream of me like I dream of you In a place that's warm and dark In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart Remembering Your touch Your kiss Your warm embrace I'll find my way back to you If you'll be waiting I've longed for you and I have desired To see your face your smile To be with you wherever you are Remembering Your touch Your kiss Your warm embrace I'll find my way back to you If you'll be waiting I've longed for you and I have desired To see your face, your smile To be with you wherever you are Remembering Your touch Your kiss Your warm embrace I'll find my way back to you Please say you'll be waiting Together again It would feel so good to be In your arms Where all my journeys end If you can make a promise If it's one that you can keep, I vow to come for you If you wait for me and say you'll hold A place for me in your heart. |

I want to wake up and know where I'm going
Say I'm ready Say I'm ready I want to go where the rivers are overflowing and I'll be ready I'll be ready to let the rivers wash over me I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me If the waters can redeem me I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me I want to wake up I want to know where I'm going I want to go where the rivers are over-flowing I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me I'm ready I'm ready ... |

All you folks think you own my life
But you never made any sacrifice Demons they are on my trail I'm standing at the crossroads of the hell I look to the left I look to the right There're hands that grab me on every side All you folks think I got my price At which I'll sell all that is mine You think money rules when all else fails Go sell your soul and keep your shell I'm trying to protect what I keep inside All the reasons why I live my life Some say the devil be a mystical thing I say the devil he a walking man He a fool he a liar conjurer and a thief He try to tell you what you want Try to tell you what you need Standing at the point The road it cross you down What is at your back Which way do you turn Who will come to find you first Your devils or your gods All you folks think you run my life Say I should be willing to compromise I say all you demons go back to hell I'll save my soul save myself |

What you go and do
You go and give the boy a gun Now there ain't place to run to Ain't no place to run to When he hold it in his hand He feel mighty he feel strong Now there ain't no place to run to Ain't no place to run One day he may come back Repay us for what we've done Then where you gonna run to Where you gonna run But one fine day All our problems will be solved Bang bang bang We'll shoot him down Give him drugs and give him candy Anything to make him think he's happy And he won't ever come for us He won't ever come But if he does And if there's no one else around Bang bang bang We'll shoot him down If he preys only on his neighbors Brothers sisters and friends We'll consider it a favor We'll consider justice done But if he comes for you or me And we can place a gun in his hand Bang bang bang We'll shoot him dead What you go and do You go and give the boy a gun Now there ain't no place to run to Ain't no place to run Now we'll all be at his mercy If he decides to hunt us down Cause there ain't no place to run to Ain't no place to run If he wants the chances that you took from him And nothing that you own Then there'll be no place to run to There'll be no place to run And if he finds himself to be A reflection of us all Bang bang bang He'll shoot us down Before you can raise your eyes to read The writing on the wall Bang bang bang He'll shoot you down Before you can bridge the gulf between And embrace him in your arms Bang bang bang He'll shoot you down |

There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories Write it down but it doesn't mean You're not just telling stories There is fiction in the space between You and me There is fiction in the space between You and reality You will do and say anything To make your everyday life Seem less mundane There is fiction in the space between You and me There's a science fiction in the space between You and me A fabrication of a grand scheme Where I am the scary monster I eat the city and as I leave the scene In my spaceship I am laughing In your remembrance of your bad dream There's no one but you standing Leave the pity and the blame For the ones who do not speak You write the words to get respect and compassion And for posterity You write the words and make believe There is truth in the space between There is fiction in the space between You and everybody Give us all what we need Give us one more sad sordid story But in the fiction of the space between Sometimes a lie is the best thing Sometimes a lie is the best thing |

I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk
About the trail you'd left of broken hearts About the sea of tears too wide to cross But a little bad press has never scared me off So I burned a path to figure out How to get me some of what you got I've got a red hot heart If the talk is true your's is the same And we should be together And let our passions fan love's flame When I looked for you I almost passed you by You were so cool and calm I thought my friends had lied But I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside It was there and then that I knew I had to get some of what you got I've got a red hot heart If the talk is true your's is the same And we should be together And let our passions fan love's flame I thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand in mine I thought it was true love the way we complemented each other But my right is your wrong And when you're right then I'm left with nothing Your light and your heat have all been spent Leaving only smoke and ashes Only smoke and ashes baby I've got a red hot heart Any your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins I say there's fire down below You say it's only smoke and ashes baby I'm crying all the time Salty stinging tears And mourning for the past carbon-dated years But knowing now for certain that you were always right Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life It's only smoke and ashes baby Only smoke and ashes baby I've got a red hot heart And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins I say there's fire down below You say it's only smoke and ashes baby I was blinded by devotion My unwavering love for you So blinded that I thought all your lies were true But now I know for certain since you've gone away It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze Only smoke and ashes baby I've got a red hot heart And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins I say there's fire down below You say it's only smoke and ashes baby Only smoke and ashes baby, baby ... |

Unsettled hearts
Promise what they can't deliver Bring me the wine And the cold night air to clear my head Gray matter memory house Master of this trembling flesh Steady still my doubts Let me speak the word that precedes bliss Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Let me speak the word These weakened knees Have not touched ground or pew in ages I haven't bowed my head I offer thanks to any god or to ask for favors But watch me now I'm falling down Praying To speak the word that precedes bliss To speak the word To speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Let me speak the word |

I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing Right beside me I reach out for your hand To see your arms extending outstretched towards me For you I don the veil By your light Others pale by comparison I place my faith in love My fate in this communication I've been having dreams and visions In them you are always standing Right beside me I reach out for your hand To see your arms extending Outstretched towards me To you I give my pledge I honor all that's good In this life we're living To think not only of myself But of the greater union Can I get a witness There is salvation and rapture for the lonely Can I get a witness Bless this day sacred and holy Sacred and Holy I've been having dreams and visions In them you are always standing Right beside me I reach out for your hand To see your arms extending Outstretched towards me With you I am revealed All my shame all my faults and virtues Behold body mind and spirit Heart and soul devoted all to you Can I get a witness Bless this day sacred and holy Sacred and Holy |

Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper Don't you know They're talkin' about a revolution It sounds like a whisper While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in the unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion Poor people gonna rise up And get their share Poor people gonna rise up And take what's theirs Don't you know You better run, run, run... Oh I said you better Run, run, run... Finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin' bout a revolution |

She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it I think she going to fly away No one should try and stop her Persuade her with their power She says that her mind is made Up Why not leave why not Go away Too much hatred Corruption and greed Give your life And invariably they leave you with Nothing Young girl ain't got no chances No roots to keep her strong She's shed all pretenses That someday she'll belong Some folks call her a runaway A failure in the race But she knows where her ticket takes her She will find her place in the sun And she'll fly, fly, fly |

Oh my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way Say she wanna spare the children She say don't give or sell your soul away 'Cause all that you have is your soul Don't be tempted by the shiny apple Don't you eat of a bitter fruit Hunger only for a taste of justice Hunger only for a world of truth 'Cause all that you have is your soul I was a pretty young girl once I had dreams I had high hopes I married a man he stole my heart away He gave his love but what a high price I paid And all that you have is your soul Why was I such a young fool Thought I'd make history Making babies was the best I could do Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever Found out the hard way one can't possess another And all that you have is your soul I thought thought that I could find a way To beat the system To make a deal and have no debts to pay I'd take it all take it all I'd run away Me for myself first class and first rate But all that you have is your soul Here I am waiting for a better day A second chance A little luck to come my way A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands 'Cause all that you have is your soul All that you have All that you have All that you have Is your soul |
