Suzanne takes you down to her place newer the river
You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night beside her And you know that shes half crazy But thats why you want to be there And she feeds you tea and oranges That come all the way from china And just when you mean to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And she lets the river answer That youve always been her lover And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that she will trust you For youve touched her perfect body with your mind. And jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching From his lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see him He said all men will be sailors then Until the sea shall free them But he himself was broken Long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone And you want to travel with him And you want to travel blind And you think maybe youll trust him For hes touched your perfect body with his mind. Now suzanne takes you hand And she leads you to the river She is wearing rags and feathers From salvation army counters And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour And she shows you where to look Among the garbage and the flowers There are heroes in the seaweed There are children in the morning They are leaning out for love And they will lean that way forever While suzanne holds the mirror And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that she will trust you For shes touched your perfect body with her mind. |

They say everything can be replaced
It say every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man who put me here I see my life come shining From the west unto the east Any day now any day now I shall be released They say every man needs protection They say every man must fall So I swear I see my reflection Somewhere in the side of your wall I see my life come shining From the west unto the east Any day now any day now I shall be released Now you understanding man in this lonely crowd A man who swears he's not to blame All day long I hear his voice shouting so loud Crying out that he was not to balme I see my life come shining From the west unto the east Any day now any day now I shall be released |

I walk the lonely streets;
I watch the people passing by. I used to smile and say hello. Guess I was just a happy guy. Then you happened,girl, this feeling that posessses me. I just can't move myself. I guess it all just had to be. * I can't see nobody...no, I can't see nobody. Mine eyes can only look at you...you. I used to have a brain; I used to think of many things. I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing. Don't ask me why, little girl. I love you and that's all I can say. You're ev'ry ,ev'ry breath I take. You are my nights; my night and day. * Repeat Every single word you hear...is coming from this heart of mine. I never felt like this before... a love like yours so young and fine. And now as I try to forget you... it doesn't work out any way. I loved you such a long time ago... but in my eyes you'll always be. Every single word you hear... is coming from this heart of mine. I loved you such a long time ago... don't know why... And I don't know why...baby... * Repeat |

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
And it's Eastertime too And your gravity fails And negativity don't pull you through Don't put on any airs When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue They got some hungry women there And they really make a mess outa you Now if you see Saint Annie Please tell her thanks a lot I cannot move My fingers are all in a knot I don't have the strength To get up and take another shot And my best friend, my doctor Won't even say what it is I've got Sweet Melinda The peasants call her the goddess of gloom She speaks good English And she invites you up into her room And you're so kind And careful not to go to her too soon And she takes your voice And leaves you howling at the moon Up on Housing Project Hill It's either fortune or fame You must pick up one or the other Though neither of them are to be what they claim If you're lookin' to get silly You better go back to from where you came Because the cops don't need you And man they expect the same Now all the authorities They just stand around and boast How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms Into leaving his post And picking up Angel who Just arrived here from the coast Who looked so fine at first But left looking just like a ghost I started out on burgundy But soon hit the harder stuff Everybody said they'd stand behind me When the game got rough But the joke was on me There was nobody even there to call my bluff I'm going back to New York City I do believe I've had enough |
