Brand new angel, did you just fall down from the sky
Come to your sweet daddy, wipe the tears from your eyes This must be your lucky day, I hope you like surprises Save my weary soul, take me from this hole Lead me to the light or just take me through the night Brand new angel, never turn your back on me Look deep into my eyes and tell me what you see People say you should stay away but I disagree Save my weary soul, take me from this hole Lead me to the light or just take me through the night Brand new angel, don't be so easy to deceive Things are different down here You gotta let your body breathe Save my weary soul, take me from this hole Lead me to the light or just take me through the night |

So weak so strong, nothing's forever in her universe
Bringing comfort, bringing pain, so weak so strong So weak so strong, turning mountains into seas of dust Finding courage when all hope is lost, so weak so strong Men have died from half the pain she endures everyday Many times I've seen her spirit fade away only to rise again So weak so strong, there's only one of her in the universe Bringing darkness, bringing light, so weak so strong Men have died from half the pain she endures everyday Many times I've seen her spirit fade away only to rise again So weak so strong, she's never really what she seems to be But life without her seems so bleak, so weak so strong |

Saw you in the starlight
Gave my heart a stir Naked in the moonlight Made me shimmer for sure Ooh, streamline woman Your head's in the city But your soul flies through the clouds Looking so doggone pretty Made me laugh out loud Ooh, streamline woman Ooh, streamline woman Let me be good to you Streamline woman Let me be good to you Eyes wide open Suitcase in your hand Passport in your pocket Do you need a place to land Ooh, streamline woman Ooh, streamline woman Let me be good to you |

As I stand here searching for the right words
I know that wisdom comes from despair And I realize it's harder to find your own voice Than to follow one already in the air And as our time draws nearer I wonder just when we stopped being young And I know my greatest deeds will go unnoticed And our treasures were here all along Child of the earth hear my confession Please don't tell me that it's overdue And from the four corners of the universe I will make my way to you A gentle touch known only to each other And a breath that comforts like the rain And a taste no other shall ever know That upon my tongue shall remain Child of the earth heal me with your whisper Hold me close to your breast Dress my wounds with your innocence I am weary let me rest Let your rain wash over me You know all I ever hoped to be Is half of what you are to me So take me from this island Lead me to the mountains of the moon As long as you lead I will follow And the end of time will be too soon Child of the earth hear my confession Please don't tell me that it's overdue And from the four corners of the universe I will make my way to you Child of the earth heal me with your whisper Come and hold me close to your breast Dress my wounds with your innocence I am weary let me rest I am weary I am weary I will make my way to you I will make my way to you I will make my way to you |

We're at a place in history where the bar is at an all time low
We've applauded mediocrity till there is no lower we can go Art has no place in this world of supersize Follow the leader to the latest pile of shit Like flies And those who peddle it sold their own souls long ago They would not know the difference between Vin Diesel and Van Gogh They stare at me with envy with their big green bugging eyes Spreading filth, buzzing all around my head Like flies Like flies Feast or famine, peace or war - life will get you in the end Sex, drugs, powerlines and vaccinations - something's going to do you in There ain't no way of stopping death when it's time for your demise All my heroes and friends are dropping Like flies Like flies |

Where is your freedom
Is it buried in the Earth? Tell me, is it growing? Or is it losing its worth? And where were all your people when they burned your building down? Too busy fighting their own war in their own town Unring the bell, it's time, it's time Take back what we had, it's yours and mine Shadows of evil cast like giants on the wall Do you even know how many people you appall? And where are all those people on whose backs you climbed? Too busy saving their own skin and their own kind Unring the bell, it's time, it's time Take back what we had, it's yours and mine New Jim Crow, different shades of brown Blood spills red on ancient hallowed ground Flying machines send missiles to the moon While Babylon is burning in the pale afternoon Unring the bell, it's time, it's time Take back what we had, it's yours and mine Fake liberty is just another form of hate Unring the bell before it's too late |

We all tried to warn you-but you already knew
So you blame it on jealousy-you say the rumors are untrue But you feel yourself slipping away You awoke from a dream-things were different than now You were gonna be a superstar-Elvis was teaching you how You met a man in a suit-he said "Sign on the line But you'll need a little something to help you unwind" You got to ride like Hell-your face into the wind One day you're everything-then you're nothing again We all know that the journey means more than where you wind up But they don't know what it's like to drink from your cup Still they got something to say You met a girl on the highway-she made you feel like a man But somewhere along the way-your poor heart just caved in So you smoke a little that and you drink a little this And soon you can't separate the misery from the bliss (CHORUS) Anyone can be blinded-caught up in the lust But we all must go back-back to our own dust Back to yesterday One cold night in the sixties-in a small town serene A young boy sits and stares at a black and white screen He's caught up in the rhythm,the words,and the sound And it feels just like a ticket out of this town (CHORUS x2) |

Born on the edge of a lonely town-searching for something no one had
Smart enough to say good-bye to this lonely town But not smart enough to never look back Night falls early on these lonely streets-and time rolls by like a midnight train Innocence in abundance on these lonely streets-but I feel guilty just the same Now the words that I have written are ringing in my head Oh,and I think I believe them A million miles from yesterday and a million more to go Still I search each day Trying to find my way home Dreams die young in a lonely heart-and the past seems to follow close behind There's an age old remedy for a lonely heart But there's no peace in this soul of mine Now the words that I have written are ringing in my head Oh,and I think I believe them A million miles from yesterday and a million more to go Still I search each day Trying to find my way home Still trying to find my way home |

If I live till I die, will I be justly rewarded
If I sleep till I wake, will I remember the dream If I lie to myself, will I have something to believe in If I face my fears, will I know what they mean Long for brighter days far behind me Before my life was just a haze When love was still inside me If I find myself, tell me will I lose me to others If I hang my head, will I feel the spirit of my mother If I bury my face, will I uncover the truth If I slow my pace, will the past gain on me Long for brighter days far behind me Before my life was just a haze When love was still inside me Long for brighter days far behind me Before my life was just a haze When love was still inside me |

A primadonna with a premonition feels like he's preachin' to the choir
A superstar filled with superstition can't pull himself out of the mire All you ever dreamed of is finally in your reach but careful what you wish for If you don't practice what you preach The circus came to town, I guess it must have stayed It's like an endless parade All these people you can see through like ghosts, maybe you've seen too much Nothing's real, nothing you can feel, no one you can touch Strangers stare in silence, they think they know your mind No place to jump off, that's the way the game's designed Another new day dawns, another sunset fades It's like an endless parade Music, music and more music imploding inside your brain The life that you have chosen did it finally drive you insane Psychophantic tirades fill your head with ammunition Sights set on your enemies but you keep losing your position Reluctantly you face the day try to get your gameface on What used to be a fantasy has now become a marathon Every heart you ever broke, all the people you've betrayed Another new day dawns Another sunset fades Yeh, the circus came to town, I guess it must have stayed It's like an endless parade |
