Hot tribal night
underneath florescent skies bonfires rage strange wild waving shouting Picasso faces In the guise of a lioness the wind kisses her burning dress you can fell her animal eyes you can hear them cry, "Be the jewel around my neck, never a tear on my burning dress" Lying, paralyzed, a brave prey who lays dying and is surrounded by angry spirits hunters, guns, drums, and elephants Why is this night quiet? filled with trees filled with eyes as she prowls around my feet she throws back her head dress and cries, "Now you will be mine, be my young lion" Why is this night quiet? why the trees filled with eyes? as she prowls around my feet she throws back her head dress and cries, "Be my young lion" |

I need to feel your heartbeat

I'm looking through my telescope
looking for a UFO I'm looking through my telescope searching for a ray of hope to come out of this dark night I hope they understand wrong from right and maybe they can show us how to clean up our mess I'm looking through my telescope looking for a UFO I wonder what they see on earth do they see the hate and hurt or do they see the Christmas lights and mirth and hear songs of peace on earth Somebody will have to fall out of the sky somebody to show us how to survive oh, wouldn't that be nice Somebody to guide us out of this dark night somebody to show us how to take hate and hurt and turn it into peace on earth I'm looking for a UFO I'm looking through my telescope for somebody with a ray of hope |

You always said that I'd be back again, that I'd come running to you in the end
I thought that you were on your own, and now I find you're not alone (Not alone) I'll see you through the rain (Not alone) through the heartache and pain (Not alone) It hurts like never before, you're not alone any more You always said that I would know someday just how it feels when your love walks away I let you down, I let you go, I lost you, how was I to know? (Not alone) I'll see you through the rain (Not alone) through the heartache and pain (Not alone) It hurts like never before, you're not alone any more I never knew I could feel this way, I never could see past yesterday You feel that everything is gone, I feel it too, you're not alone (Not alone) I'll see you through the rain (Not alone) through the heartache and pain (Not alone) It hurts like never before You're not alone, you're not alone, you're not alone any more, any more, any more |

Wouldn't it be great
to see the African plains before they lay them to waste and only the bones remain Wouldn't it be poetry to shoot holes in the poachers we see with an elephant gun Men in helicopters fly shooting rhinos from out of the sky Why do we always assume the planet is ours to ruin? what a legacy we're leaving behind what a legacy Wouldn't it be something for the men killing dolphin to be caught up by their necks in their greedy fishing nets Wouldn't it be irony if the tuna fish canneries were to fall into the sea The dolphins and the whales still left alive cry to the stars in the deep blue night "There's nowhere to hide, the people on earth will not be denied" what a legacy we're leaving behind what a legacy Wouldn't it be odd if there really was a God and he looked down on earth and saw what we've done to Her Wouldn't it be just if He pulled the plug on us, and took away the sun |

Someday when I'm flying far away
somewhere over Germany someday when you least expect I'll be singing in your hair Once upon a time in a different era when great fat Cadillacs roamed the earth Oh, it's a small world on a two-inch t.v. yes, it's a small world on a two-inch t.v. screen small world Someday when I'm lost in a dream out my window in the clouds someday you'll be doing your gardening hear me singing out loud Once upon a time in a different age of drive-in movies and luxury trains Oh, it's a small world on a two-inch t.v. yes, it's a small world on a two-inch t.v. screen small world Big doors opening big doors are opening wide glass of red wine wine... |

"Hello, honey, I hope I didn't wake you up,
but I had to hear your voice I'm standing in another phone booth, somewhere on the moon I'm alright, I guess, except for all the stuff I miss the things we used to do I never knew I could be this blue It's so quiet here like the stars are sayin', "shh, be quiet" So, how are the kids? Did I miss his birthday again? aw, no...could you tell him I'm sorry, sometimes my mind gets blurry and I lose all sense of time Time moves slowly like the curve of the earth Aw, honey, I wish I really could reach out and touch you...but that's not real like the moon is blue...like this lonely view from a sad phone...out here on the moon And it feels like one long lonely night you know what I mean, that's why I called" |

We're burning for you, gunman We invented you, Now we've got to live with you You're more solid than a rock A rock of cocaine or crack or ice or death, Like a rock of death Like a gravestone, Gunman |
