So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for I. you know that if we are to stay alive. Then see the peace in every eye. She had two babies. One was six months, one was three In the war of '44. Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging When she thought it was God calling her. Oh would her son grow to know his father? I don't want to to wait for our lives to be over, I want to know right now what will it be. I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, Will it be yes or will it be sorry? He showed up all wet on the rainy front step. Wearing shrapnel in his skin. And the war he saw lives inside him still, It's so hard to be gentle and warm. The years pass by and now he has granddaughters I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, I want to know right now what will it be. I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, Will it be yes or will it be So breathe a little more deeply my love All we have is this very moment And I don't want to do what his father, and his father, and his father did, I want to be here now. So open up your morning light, And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive, Then see the love in every eye. I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, I want to know right now what will it be. I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, Will it be yes or will it be sorry? So open up your morning light, And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive, Then see the love in every eye. |

You make me feel like a sticky pistil
Leaning into her stamen. You make me feel like Mr. Sunshine himself. You make me feel like splendor in the grass where we're rolling Damn skippy baby you make me feel like the Amazon's running between my thighs. You make me feel love You make me feel like a candy apple all red and horny You make me feel like I want to be dumb blonde In a centerfold, the girl next door. And I would open the door and I'd be all wet With my tits soaking through this tiny little t-shirt That I'm wearing and you would open the door And tie me up to the bed. You make me feel love Lover I don't know who I am. Am I Barry White - am I Isis? Lover I'm laced with your unconscious, I will be your Desdemona |

I nearly died I suicided softly
I saw her shadow through the cafe window I watched you lean across the table I watched you whisper in her ear And she is your holy Mary And I am so ordinary And you can use me if you want to I know you need me just like an old soft shoe She looks like me but a bit prettier She's a skater and a ballet dancer I saw her on your motorcycle In the seat I thought was meant for me Chorus And when your mother came to Boston you disappeared And then I saw you three together I guess she makes the best impression With her charming femininity... Chorus Oh but I am the one you will call when alone And I am the one who will give when she's gone And so I give So I give I tell myself that love is truly giving Somehow I justify this Hoping you will understand me Hoping you will love me back And she is your holy Mary And I am so ordinary And she is your Queen Cleopatra And I'm just your morning after And she is your Star Spangled Banner And I am just Frere Jaque And you can lose me if you want to And I am so ordinary |

I'm siphoning gass from the high school bus
Into the tank of my beat-up bug So I can drive away from the shouting and misery I drive into the night, to the hill, to the water tower To lie on my back and drink in the meteor shower Knowing that many men have lain as I do now Ptolemy, Copernicus, Carl Jung Pondering his existence, pondering, Is God with me now? And I look to the sky And I ask these questions Yes, I feel something I don't understand Can somebody say Amen? My life is but a short and precious seed Like three seasons of life in a leaf on a tree And when I cascade to the ground I will not be done I will mingle with the earth and give life To the roots again Can somebody say Amen? And I look to the sky And I ask these questions Yes, I feel something I don't understand Can somebody say Amen? Amen for the drivers in their garbage trucks Amen for our mothers, for the lust to fuck Amen for the child with innocent eyes Amen for Kevorkian and the right to die Amen for NASA, The NSA It's all a front anyway Amen for Marilyn Manson, Saddam Hussein Amen for America and the Milky Way. Amen for Elvis, for Betty Page Amen for Gloria Steinham and Ronald Reagan Amen for O.J., Clinton too Amen for the Republican witch hunt coup Amen for Gandhi, for Malcolm X Amen for the uprising of the weaker sex Amen for Babylon, the third world's call Amen for the unity of us all Amen, Amen, Amen And I am not unique. We are all leave on this great big tree This tree that is life, that is God, that is you, that is me And I lie under my tree like the Buddhas before and after me And I ask the stars, "What for?" Yes, I feel something I can't explain A light that flickers off and on again And I look to the sky And I ask these questions Yes, I feel something I don't understand Oh, can somebody say Amen |
