When blood sees blood of its own It sings to see itself again It sings to hear the voice it's known It sings to recognize the face One body split and passed along the line From the shoulder to the hip I know these bones as being mine And the curving of the lip And my question to you is: How did this come to pass? How did this one life fall so far and fast? Some are lean and some with grace, and some without; Tell the story that repeats Of a child who had been left alone at birth Left to fend and taught to fight See his eyes and how they start with light Getting colder as the pictures go Did he carry his bad luck upon his back? That bad luck we've all come to know And my question to you is: How did this come to pass? How did this one life fall so far and fast? When blood sees blood of its own It sings to see itself again It sings to hear the voice it's known It sings to recognize the face |

I stand in a wide flat land No shadow or shade of a doubt Whore the megaphone man Met the girl with her hand that's Covering most of her mouth Fall in love with a bright idea Fat man and dancing girl And most of the show is concealed from view And the way a world is revealed to you I don't want to hear it Monkey in the middle Keeps singing that tune Get rid of it soon MC on the stage tonight Is a man named Billy Purl And he knows the worth of beautiful girl He's The International Fun Boy Stand on the tightrope Never dreamed I would fall Monkey in the middle It's making me nervous Keeps doing that trick Get rid of it quick I stand in a wide flat land No shadow or shade of a doubt That's covering most of her mouth Where the megaphone man Met the girl with her hand Does she say it so no one can know? Does she tell the truth? Does she hide the lie? Fat man and the dancing girl And it's all part of the show Never dreamed I could fall Stand on the tightrope Keeps singing that tune Monkey in the middle I don't want to hear it Get rid of it soon Monkey in the middle Keeps doing that trick It's making me nervous Get rid of it quick |

As a child You see this doll You have a doll Sitting in her chair Her eyes of glass You watch her face Her knees apart She seems to In a secretive stare She seems to She seems to Have a life Dig up a crack Pick up a stick Dirt in the street Becomes a town All of the people Depend on you Not to hurt them Or bang the stick comes down And they seem to They seem to Have a life They seem to As a child You see yourself And wonder why You can't seem to move Hand on the doorknob One foot on the sidewalk Feel like a thing Too much to prove And you learn to You learn to You learn to Have a life |

Mother the doctor knows something is wrong Cause my body has strange information He's looked in my eyes and knows I'm not a child But he doesn't dare ask the right question Mother my friends are no longer my friends I've gone serious and shy and they can't figure why And the games we once played have no meaning So they've left me to my own daydreaming For bad wisdom What price to pay Too young to know What price to pay For bad wisdom Too much too soon Bad wisdom Bad wisdom Mother you've taught me the laws are so fine If I'm good that I will be protected And I'll never trust whoever gets elected I've fallen through the crack and there's no getting back And it wasn't what I was expecting Mother your eyes have gone suddenly cold Once I did think that I'd find comfort there And instead you've gone hard and suspecting What price to pay For bad wisdom For bad wisdom What price to pay Too young to know Bad wisdom Too much too soon Bad wisdom Mother I'm cut at the root like a weed Cause there's no one to hear my small story Just like a woman who walks in the street I will pay for my life with my body What price to pay For bad wisdom For bad wisdom Too young to know What price to pay Too much too soon Bad wisdom Bad wisdom |

You make a really good girl As girls go Still kind of look like a guy I never thought to wonder why If I could pull this off The real situation Would I know for certain Behind the curtain So beautiful damsel in distress Not exactly natural Stunning none the less What happened to you? To make you more girl than girls are Would you ever show or tell Cause you're so good so far As girls go You make a really good girl As girls go As girls go As girls go As girls go The dark side of the life Let's chronicle Did you ever keep the date With the steel side of the knife Which side of the line Doesn't matter to me At any given time You happen to be You make a really good girl As girls go As girls go As girls go As girls goAs girls go |

Even if I am in love with you
All this to say, what's it to you? Observe the blood, the rose tattoo of the fingerprints on me from you Other evidence has shown that you and I are still alone We skirt around the danger zone and don't talk about it later Marlene watches from the wall her mocking smile says it all as she records the rise and fall of every soldier passing But the only soldier now is me I'm fighting things I cannot see I think it's called my destiny that I am changing Marlene on the wall I walk to your house in the afternoon by the butcher shop with the sawdust strewn "Don't give away the goods too soon" Is what she might have told me And I tried so hard to resist when you held me in your handsome fist and reminded me of the night we kissed and of why I should be leaving Marlene watches from the wall her mocking smile says it all as she records the rise and fall of every man who's been here But the only one here now is me I'm fighting things I cannot see I think it's called my destiny that I am changing Marlene on the wall |

Today I am
A small blue thing Like a marble Or an eye With my knees against my mouth I am perfectly round I am watching you I am cold against your skin You are perfectly reflected I am lost inside your pocket I am lost against Your fingers I am falling down the stairs I am skipping on the sidewalk I am thrown against the sky I am raining down in pieces I am scattering like light Scattering like light Scattering like light Today I am A small blue thing Made of china Made of glass I am cool and smooth and curious I never blink I am turning in your hand Turning in your hand Small blue thing |

There's a sound
Across the alley Touching skin Of cold metalAnd you can see That she has gone and cut If you look in her window Her hair again In straight lines Straight lines Those soft golden lights in the morningAre now on her wooden floor Any more The wind has swept them through the apartment She don't need them Any more... Any moreShe's cut down On her lovers Though she still dreams Of them at nightWhere once were flowers She's growing straight lines She is streamlined She is taking the shade down From the lightTo see the straight lines Straight linesShe wants to cut through the circles She wants to finally kill the delusions She won't need them That she has lived in before Any more Any more Any more... Across the alley But there's a sound Of cold metal Too close to the bone If you look in her window And you can see The face of a woman Finally aloneBehind straight lines Straight lines |

I believe right now if I could
I would swallow you whole I would leave only bones and teeth We could see what was underneath And you would be free then Once I thought only tears could make us free Like sand against the stone Salt wearing down to the bone Against the shoreline I am friend to the undertow And now I have you From the edge of a knife I take you in, I don't let go I wanted to learn all the secrets From the point of a needle From a diamond From a bullet in flight I would be free then I am friend to the undertow And now I have you I take you in, I don't let go To be that sleek I wanted to see how it would feel Made me weak And instead I find this hunger's I would swallow you whole I believe right now if I could I would leave only bones and teeth We could see what was underneath I am friend to the undertow And you would be free then I take you in, I don't let go I take you in, I don't let go I am friend to the undertow And now I have you And now I have you |

If we had met some eastbound train
Through some black sleeping town Would you have worn your silken robes All made of royal blue? Would I have dressed in smoke and fire For you to see through? If we had met in a darkened room Where people do not stay But shadows touch and pass right through And never see the day Would you have taken me upstairs And turned the lamplight low? Would I have shown my secret self And disappeared like the snow? Oh, I could have played your little girl Or I could have played your wife I could have played your mistress Running danger down through you life I could have played your lady fair All dressed in lace like the foam from the sea I could have been your woman of the road As long as you did not come back home to me But as it is, we live in the city And everything stays in place Instead we meet on the open sidewalk And it's well I know your face We talk and talk, we tell the truth There are no shadows here But when I look into your eyes I wonder what might have been here Because if I had met you on some journey Where would we be now? |

The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
He said, "I am not fighting for you any more" The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before And slowly she let him inside. He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will Only first I am asking you why." Down in the long narrow hall he was led And she never once took the crown from her head Into her rooms with her tapestries red She asked him there to sit down. He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won And now will you tell me why?" The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try" But she closed herself up like a fan. It cuts me inside, and often I've bled" But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread He laid his hand then on top of her head "Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel And he bowed her down to the ground. As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed But I won't march again on your battlefield" And he took her to the window to see. And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away And she wanted more than she ever could say And he said, "I want to live as an honest man And would not look at his face again. To get all I deserve and to give all I can Your highness, your ways are very strange." And to love a young woman who I don't understand But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait She would only be a moment inside. Out in the distance her order was heard And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word The battle continued on |

Watch while the queen
In one false move Turns herself into a pawn Sleepy and shaken And watching while the blurry night Turns into a very clear dawn Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love me? Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love me? Do you love many, can you love one, One false move Well, if you hold it against her, And a secret prophecy First hold it up and see That it's one side stone Standing alone among all men's desire One side fire They want to know Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love me? Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, And if you wonder Do you love me? What I am doing As I am heading For the sink I am spitting out all the bitterness Along with half of my last drink I am thinking Of your woman Who is crying in the hall It's like drinking gasoline To quench a thirst Until there's nothing there left at all Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love me? Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love any, do you love none, "Walk on the blind side"? Do you love me? Was the answer to the joke In her body It's said there isn't a political bone She would rather be a riddle With a profound lack of history But she keeps challenging the future Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love me? Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love me? And watch while the queen Turns herself into a pawn In one false move Sleepy and shaken And watching while the blurry night Turns into a very clear dawn Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me |

Seems to have resigned And your neighborhood girl She was looking out at people From the back of her mind And before she went off She spoke to me again She came up and said "You have the eyes of a friend And there's a razor's edge That I have lost somewhere And I would like it back So if you've seen it anywhere... I've been out for a while But I'll be back in a bit I am just walking through the smoke Because I've got this feeling Finding out if this is it That things are going grey And I'd like to hear a straight line To help me find my way...' I looked at her And I did not know what to say. She had long black hair." "Must be a different Neighborhood girl, cause Ours had blonde hair, in front of McKinsey's Bar And we were interested in her We just wonder where she's gone..." "Oh she's gone?" And her Clientele...
