This is the story
Of a poor man's son He pulled himself up Turned his face to the sun He burned up the world with a heart on fire And tempted the stars when they hid their light Now everyone wants to touch the golden boy Now everyone wants to touch the golden boy They made melody To support his word He's the new high priest Of the scene and herd They sanctified Sid Till he puked up his life A prick for an idol What a very strange sight Now children are weeping In a hundred towns The spitfire word Shot the pilot down They shoved a rag Down the golden throat And put up a column Where the poor dog choked |

Ray decided to be silly after all
He'd died a 1000 times before in the viet war So he strapped himself in and he took his chances Into the valley of the bird, absurd I don't remember what it was the old man said I know I' d tempted fate a 1000 times before So we strapped ourselves in and we took such chances And had a flight for the brother who can't be Birdman, looking for the Wasteland, trying to get my Face tanned it's beautiful here Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly We decided one for all and all for one And when I do, I really want to go in style So without a sense of reason we explored Like throwing stones into the great unknown Birdman, looking for the Wasteland, trying to get my Face tanned it's beautiful here Doing it we're flying in the valley of the birds- fly |

How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame? Who gets to say, who gets the work and gets to play? I was always told at school, everybody should get the same How many times have you been told, if you don't ask you don't get? How many liars have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn't bet? Who has the fun, is it always the man with the gun? Someone must have told him, if you work too hard you can sweat There's always the sun There's always the sun Always, always, always the sun How many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh? Y'know it's not unlike the politician and the leaders when they do things by half Who gets the job, of pushing the knob That sort of responsibility you draw straws for, if you're mad enough There's always the sun There's always the sun Always, always, always the sun |

Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs Throughout the night No need to fight Never a frown, with golden brown Every time just like the last On her ship tied to the mast To distant lands Takes both my hands Never a frown with golden brown Golden brown, finer temptress Through the ages she's heading west From far away Stays for a day Never a frown with golden brown (instrumental) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown |

Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down isn't it a pity Doesn't seen to be a shadow in the city All around me people looking half dead Choking on the sidewalk, it's hotter than a match head At night it's a different town Go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need, it will be alright And babe don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the nights In the summer in the city In the summer in the city Cool town meeting in the city Dressed so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city 'till I'm wheezing at the bus stop Running up the stairs gonna meet you on the roof top At night it's a different town, go out and find a girl Come on come on and dance all night Just what you need it will be alright And babe don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the night In the summer in the city In the summer in the city |

The words
Came down the line Just a few words At a time The meaning It was Clear There was no sign of fear The scene That they described Were sad You could have cried The journey's Just too long To even Take the ride It's always The same It's always In vain If the truth Were only known If the words Had only shown That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ You lose And now The line is dead You did everything You ever said You brought it down You turned around And what was said Was said The deed is done You've had your fun And home again You'll run You know inside You'll never hide And what was done Was done It's always The same It's always In vain If the truth Were only known If the words Had only shown That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose........ |

And the pharaoh raised his hand
Said dig a hole in the promised land The pointing men are marching in a line They're shooting poison arrows in the sky These are the last days of paradise row There's a man knocking on my door He's playing games with word of the law A hammer in his hand to break your soul But the spirit is a house that will not fall These are the last days of paradise row Tell me Moses where will your children go Now the scorpion will go Where the forest will not grow And the pharaoh lies behind a golden mask His pointing men steal water from our well I don't mind telling you It makes my heart bleed I don't mind telling you It makes my heart bleed These are the last days of paradise row Tell me Moses where will your children go? These are the last days of paradise row Tell me Moses where will your children go? |
