They tied his arms behind his back, to teach him how to swim
They put blood in his coffee and milk in his gin They stood over the soldier, in the midst of the squalor There was war in his body and it caused his brain to holler Make the sacrifice, mutilate my face If you need someone to kill I'm a man without a will Wash the razor in the rain, let me luxuriate in pain Please don't set me free Death means a lot to me The pain was lean and it made him scream He knew he was alive He put a pin through the nipples on his chest He thought he was a saint I've made love to my mother, killed my father and brother What am I to do When a sin goes too far, it's like a runaway car And cannot be controlled Spit upon his face and scream: There is no Oedipus today This is no play you're thinking you are in What will you say Take the blue mask down from my face And look me in the eye I get a thrill from punishment, I've always been that way I loathe and despise repentance You are permanently stained Your weakness and indifference and indiscretion in the streets Dirty's what you are and clean is what you're not You deserve to be soundly beat Make the sacrifice, take it all the way There is no ' won't ' high enough To stop this desperate day Don't take death away, cut the finger at the joint Cut the stallion at his mount And stuff it in his mouth |

Legendary hearts tearing up apart with stories of their love their great transcendent loves While we stand here and fight and lose another night of legendary love Legendary loves haunt me in my sleep promises to keep I never should have made I can't live up to this I'm good for just a kiss not legendary love Romeo, oh, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo he's in a car or at a bar or churning his blood with an impure drug He's in the past and seemingly lost forever He worked hard at being good but his basic soul was stained not pure and when he took his bow no audience was clapping Legendary hearts tear us all apart make our emotions bleed crying out in need No legendary love is coming from above it's in this room right now And you've got to fight to make what's right you've got to fight to make what's right You've got to fight to make what's right you've got to fight to keep your legendary love |

When you pass through the fire, you pass through humble
you pass through a maze of self doubt When you pass through humble, the lights can blind you some people never figure that out You pass through arrogance, you pass through hurt you pass through an ever present past And it's best not to wait for luck to save you pass through the fire to the light Pass through the fire to the light pass through the fire to the light It's best not to wait for luck to save you pass through the fire to the light As you pass through the fire, your right hand waving there are things you have to throw out That caustic dread inside your head will never help you out You have to be very strong, 'cause you'll start from zero over and over again And as the smoke clears there's an all consuming fire lying straight ahead Lying straight ahead lying straight ahead As the smoke clears there's an all consuming fire lying straight ahead They say no one person can do it all but you want to in your head But you can't be Shakespeare and you can't be Joyce so what is left instead You're stuck with yourself and a rage that can hurt you you have to start at the beginning again And just this moment this wonderful fire started up again When you pass through humble, when you pass through sickly when you pass through I'm better than you all When you pass through anger and self deprecation and have the strength to acknowledge it all When the past makes you laugh and you can savor the magic that let you survive your own war You find that that fire is passion and there's a door up ahead not a wall A |

It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart

They call you ecstasy nothing ever sticks to you Not velcro, not scotch tape not my arms dipped in glue Not if I wrap myself in nylon a piece of duct tape down my back Love pierced the arrow with the twelve and I can't get you back Ah, ecstasy ecstasy Ah, ecstasy Across the streets an old Ford, they took off its wheels the engine is gone In its seat sits a box with a note that says, Goodbye Charlie, thanks a lot I see a child through a window with a bib and I think of us and what we almost did The Hudson rocketing with light the ships pass the Statue of Liberty at night They call it ecstasy, ah ecstasy Ecstasy, ah ecstasy Some men call me St. Ivory some call me St. Maurice I'm smooth as alabaster with white veins runnin' through my cheeks A big stud through my eyebrow a scar on my arm that says, Domain I put it over the tattoo that contained your name They called you ecstasy, ecstasy ecstasy They call you ecstasy, ecstasy ecstasy The moon passing through a cloud a body facing up is floating towards a crowd And I think of a time and what I couldn't do I couldn't hold you close, I couldn't, I couldn't become you They call you ecstasy, I can't hold you down I can't hold you up I feel like that car that I saw today, no radio no engine, no hood I'm going to the cafe, I hope they've got music and I hope that they can play But if we have to part I'll have a new scar right over my heart I'll call it ecstasy Oh, ecstasy, ecstasy ecstasy Ecstasy, ecstasy ecstasy |

Sometimes I wonder who am I
The world seeming to pass me by A younger man now getting old I have to wonder what the rest of life will hold I hold a mirror to my face There are some lines that I could trace To memories of loving you A passion that breaks reason in two I - I - I have to think and I have to think and stop me now If reminices make you frown One thinks of what one hoped to be And then faces reality I wonder who started all this Was God in love and gave a kiss To someone who later betrayed And God less love sent us away? Sometimes I wonder who am I Who made the trees - who made the sky Who made the storms who made heartbreak? I wonder how much life I can take I see at last a future self Were you alive I'd ask your help But thinking puts me in a daze And thinking never helped me anyway You always were so negative You never saw the positive You always stand upon the edge And dream of what it must be to be dead I know I like to dream a lot And think of other worlds that are not I hate that I need air to breathe I'd like to leave this body - and be free You'd like to float like a mystic child You'd like to kiss an angel on the brow You'd love to solve the mistery of live By cutting someone's throat or removing their heart You'd like to see it beat You'd like to hold your eyes And though you know I'm dead You'd like to hold my thighs If it's wrong to think on this To hold the dead past to hold the dead past in your fist Why were we why were we given memories? Let's lose our minds Be set free! Sometimes I wonder who am I The world seeming to pass me by A younger man now getting old I have to wonder what the rest of life will hold I wonder I wonder who started all this - ooh Was God in love and gave a kiss To someone who later betrayed And God less love sent us away To someone who later betrayed God less love sent us away To someone who later betrayed God less love sent us away... |

Hitchhiked her way across the USA. Plucked her eyebrows on the way Shaved her leg and then he was she - she said: Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. Candy came from out on the island, In the backroom she was everybodys darling, But she never lost her head Even when she was given head - she said Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. And the coloured girls go, doo dodoo Little Joe never once gave it away, Ev'rybody had to pay and pay. A hustle here and a hustle there New York city is no place where they said: Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets Looking for soul food and a place to eat Went to the Apollo, you should have seen him go go go - they said: Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. Jackie is just speeding away, Thought she was James Dean for a day Then I guess she had to crash, Valium would have helped that bash - she said: Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side, Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side. And the coloured girls go, doo dodoo |
