You ole fire, I'm mad with desire,
You're my favorite one. You got me cooking with the fever, got me running for the sun. Uh-huh, running for the sun, I feel so high, I feel like I may go blowing away, blow, blow, blowing. My well meaner, my day fancy dreamer, oh, what can it be? Well, it's something like a power, like a hold, and it's holding me. Uh-huh, and it's holding me. I feel so high, I feel like I may go blowing away, blow, blow, blowing away. Blow, blow, blowing. My long laster, my soft-hearted master ain't been born and bred. But he's standing in my doorway in my mind, up above my, up above, up above my head. Up above my head, up above my head, I feel so high, I feel like I may go blowing away, blowing away, blowing away, blowing away, blowing away |

I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines I was raised on the Good Book Jesus Till I read between the lines Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the Stoney End I never wanted to go Down the Stoney End Mama let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again I can still remember him With love light in his eyes But the light flickered out and parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the Stoney End I never wanted to go Down the Stoney End Mama let me start all over Cradle me, mama, cradle me again (Cradle me, mama, cradle me again Mama, cradle me again...) Never mind the forecast 'Cause the sky has lost control 'Cause the furry and the broken thunders Come to match my raging soul Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the Stoney End I never wanted to go Down the Stoney End Mama let me start all over Cradle me, mama, cradle me again Going down the Stoney End... |

And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone,
there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on. I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care. If it's peace you find in dying, well, then let the time be near. If it's peace you find in dying, when dying time is here, just bundle up my coffin cause it's cold way down there, I hear that's it's cold way down there, yeah, crazy cold way down there. And when I die and when I'm gone, there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on. My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well. I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell. Swear there ain't no heaven and pray there ain't no hell, but I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell, only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell. And when I die and when I'm gone, there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on. Give me my freedom for as long as I be. All I ask of living is to have no chains on me. All I ask of living is to have no chains on me, and all I ask of dying is to go naturally, only want to go naturally. Don't want to go by the devil, don't want to go by the demon, don't want to go by Satan, don't want to die uneasy, just let me go naturally. And when I die and when I'm gone, there'll be one child born, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. |

Don't go to gibsom cross the river
The devil is hungry The devil is sweet If you are soft then you will shiver They hang the alley cats on gibsom street I wish my baby were forbidden I wish my world be struck by sleet I wish to keep my mirror hidden To hide the eyes that looked on gibsom street There is a man he knows where I'm going Gave me a strawberry to eat I sucked its juices never knowing That I would sleep that night on gibsom street |

Blue berry A rush on rum Of brush and drum And the past is a blue note Inside me I ran away in the morningNew York tendaberry Blue berry Rugs and drapes and drugs And capes Sweet kids in hunger slums Firecrackers break And they cross And they dust And they skate And the night comesI ran away in the morningNow I'm back Unpacked Sidewalk and pigeon You look like a city But you feel like a religion To meNew York tendabery True berry I lost my eyes I east wind skies Here where I've cried Where I've tried Where God and the tendaberry rise Where quakers and revolutionaries Join for life For precious years Joined for life Through silver tearsNew York tendaberry |

Come on, people! Come on, children!
COme on down to the glory river. Gonna wash you up, and wash you down, gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down. I got fury in my soul,fury's gonna take me to the glory goal. In my mind I can't study war no more. Save the people! Save the children! Save the country now! Come on, people! come on, children! Come on down to the glory river. Gonna wash you up and wash you down. Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down. COme on people! Sons and mothers! Keep the dream of the two young brothers. Gonna take that dream and ride that dove. We could build the dream with love, I know, We could build the dream with love, I know, We could build a dream with love, children, We could build the dream with love, oh people, We could build the dream with love, I know, We could build the dream with love. 2nd verse: Come on, people! Come on, children! There's a king at the glory river. And the precious king, he loved the people to sing; Babes in the blinkin' sun sang We Shall Overcome. |

Market in the cool white mornin'
Merchants sell while women buy Milk, tobacco, soap and matches Sweep the floor While the dishes dry Spring whispered in her ear Like soft Mediterranean wailin' Sleepy woman by the window Dreamin' in the morning air Of the one who takes her sweetness By a chinese lamp upstairs The steam of china tea You could hear the woman sing In the soft flames of spring Spring has swept the scarlet side streets Winds caress, undress, invite Upstairs by a china lamp They softly talk in the cool spring night |

Cold jade wind
Not an angel in the sky Just cold jade restless wind Something's coming along To devastate my soul. I pricked my fingers On the thorns And this rain is a-raining hard This sky's gonna beckon Mariah To match my soul Rain in the river Rain in the river Rain on the river banks Down my neck Beads of sweat. Rain on the highway Running clear across New York A windsong through the barren trees Wild lavender heather By the railroad sways Listen to the wailing Of the rain in the river Rain on the river banks. Roll, roll River, rock his soul She's calling you Rainclouds, rainclouds Down his neck Down his neck Down his neck Beads of, beads of, beads of Beadso of sweat. Five boys standing On the baks of thr river Waiting for the virgin snow Searching for a miracle A pearl in an oyster And we all looked out to God Although He is the colour of the wind Listen to the wailing Of the rain in the river Rain on the river banks. |

Vanessa's Father.
He liked to be alone creating works of art which he painted in a cottage made of stone one day I crept inside and I was unaware of what I was going to find well the pictures opened up my mind I saw sculptures of young lovers intertwined. And on their bodies he had signed his name and so I left that place w a different look upon my face. When I was 15 and he a certain charm the way he smiled at me and the way he gently touched my arm. And somehow we would always be alone When it was time to take me home and so we'd speed through the country side In his convertable we'd ride. Vanessa's Father was driving me home at night, and I never said word oh but somehow we just got here. Her father was driving me home at night oh when I think back to then I would count the days til I could go there again. oh no oh no oh no Another weekend. Strange thoughts inside of me. Is it vanessa whom, I am really going there to see I'd smoke a ciggerette, I thought so secretly but the door it gently opened and he stood there smiling down at me then he pushed me backwards against the wall I looked up cause he's so tall and then he stared into my eyes and kissed me so hard I cried. Vanessa's father was sleeping w me at night and I never said a word but somehow we just got here her father was sleeping w me at night when I think back then, I would count the days I could see him again. oh no oh no oh no the shaft of lite would fall against my skin that would seem sensual to him but I'm too young to use these qualities you bet I must be evil I must be tainted He'd breath against the girl he's paint |

I'm young enough I'm old enough To paint a smile I tasted heaven and hell Heaven, stay a while A good friend Is a rare find Their straight talk Can ease your mind A good pimp's Gonna rob you blind Money money money I feel like a pawn In my own world I found the system And I lost the pearl It's breaking me down Well, you don't wake You don't shake You just make the sound Go round and round and round And round Bleed a little Bleed a little Till your freedom calls you Somewhere out Children laugh Like meteors Rolling down the grass Mothers pull the nighttime in Calling their children With spoons in the wind But not for me She said I'm young enough I'm old enough In the city machine Where industries Fill the fish Full of mercury (It's tax-free) She said My struggle hurt But it turned me on And when my revolution came The chain was gone On my feet To the sound of my heartbeat Money money money Do you feel like a pawn In your own world? You found the system And you lost the pearl Like leaves coming down You've got to wake, shake Make your vibe go round And round and round and round |

A hopeless declaration? Can we mend, transcend The broken dishes of our love? Our conflicts? Can we be friends? "Hello?" he said "Hello?" "This is your copilot," he said ??Yeah - look sweetheart I've loved you - but you can be so arrogant, And you don't know anything about being cool." Oh Mister Blue, I've been studying the radar in the sky Measuring earth and time The rainbows on your pillow are new, I'm a fucking mad scientist too Baby, baby let the one who loves you come thru ... Baby come thru...baby come thru... Earth calling...you... Baby come thru...baby come thru... Earth calling... This is the song of communications (Baby come thru...)

Did you read about it In a magazine? Silent lies Never give you what you need Is there hope For a mother And an elf on speed? Kiss the sun hello Child in the park Make your life a lovin' thing I'm so tired You're so wired And I'm a poet Without a poem And you are my child "So serene" Read about us in a magazine Then why are we Crying by the washing machine? Let's run away child And follow a dream Kiss the sun hello Child in the park Make your life a lovin' thing The park is late The wind is strong The trees have eyes And you are my song My lovely song What is love? Child I am here to stand by you And you will find You own way hard and true And I'll find mine 'Cause I'm growin' with you Kiss the sun hello God & Goddess Make his life a lovin' thing And if I smile as you reach above the climbin' bars To see the stars You are my love Child my love |

And when I die and when I'm gone, there'll be one child born, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. |

Come on, people! Come on, children!
COme on down to the glory river. Gonna wash you up, and wash you down, gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down. I got fury in my soul,fury's gonna take me to the glory goal. In my mind I can't study war no more. Save the people! Save the children! Save the country now! Come on, people! come on, children! Come on down to the glory river. Gonna wash you up and wash you down. Gonna lay the devil down, gonna lay that devil down. COme on people! Sons and mothers! Keep the dream of the two young brothers. Gonna take that dream and ride that dove. We could build the dream with love, I know, We could build the dream with love, I know, We could build a dream with love, children, We could build the dream with love, oh people, We could build the dream with love, I know, We could build the dream with love. 2nd verse: Come on, people! Come on, children! There's a king at the glory river. And the precious king, he loved the people to sing; Babes in the blinkin' sun sang We Shall Overcome. |
