It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong Oh...

Circle around the park, joining hands in silence Watch the evil black the sky The storm has ripped the shelter of illusion from our brow This power is no mystery to us now Leave your spirit genocide, the cancer you won't remove We cast our funeral rose inside and bury the need to prove Our mutilation is to gain from the system Turn your head away from the screen, oh people It will tell you nothing more don't suck the milk of flaccid Bill K. Public's empty promise To the people that the public can ignore This way of life is so devised to snuff out the mind that moves Moving with grace the men despise, and women have learned to lose Throw off your shame or be a slave of the system I see you take another drag One more lost soul to raise your flag The sky is a landfill I see you take another drag Let's see you take another drag you like to dance to the rolling head of the adulteress You sing in praise of suicide We know you're useless Like cops at the scene of crime With your steroids and your feedbag and your stable and your trainer I got a mail bomb for you, Mr. Strong Arm Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes for the violence of a nation gone by or the politics of weakness and the garbage dump of souls That will now black the sky Their yellow haze and crowds of eyes will plug up the mind that moves Moving with grace the men despise, and women have learned to lose We'll share our bodies in disdain for the system I see you take another drag one nation bends to kiss the hag The sky is a landfill I see you take another drag I see you take another drag I have no fear of this machine |

i once was open and one with a travelling heart. i loved this sweet guy. just like a fiction rushing in your riverbed. arise like applause in my head. and in the half-light where we both stand. this is the half-light, see me as i am. just like the ocean, always in love with the moon, it's overflowing now, inside you. we fly right over the minds of so many in pain. we are the smile of light that brings them rain. in the half light where we both stand in the half light you saw me as i am i am a railroad track abandoned with the sunset forgetting i ever happened, that i ever happened |

No! No time for romantic escape When your fluffy heart is ready for rape Off we go, off we go, off we go You're sitting in your comfort You don't believe I'm real You never buy protection From the way that I feel Your progressive hypocrites Hand out their trash It was mine in the first place So I'll burn it to ash And I've taken all the strongest meats And laid them down in colored sheets Laid them down in colored sheets Who needs illusion Of love and affection When you're out walking in the streets With your mainline connection, connection. As I cuddle the porcupine He said I had none to blame, but me. Held my heart, deep in hair. Time to shave, shave it off, it off. No time for romantic escape, When your fluffy heart is ready for rape.

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old A friend, when you're lonely, or peace to your soul. The wealthiest person is a pauper at times Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down, don't get upset, I am not pleadin' or sayin', that I can't forget you I do not walk the floor bowed down an'bent, but yet, mama, you been on my mind. even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow, where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow. I don't even mind with who you're wakin' up tomorrow, but mama, you've been on my mind. I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no," please understand me, I have no place I'm calling you to go I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know mama, you been on my mind. when you wake up in the mornin', baby, look inside your mirror. you know i won't be next to you, you know i won't be near. i'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear as someone who has had you on his mind. |

the other woman finds time to manicure her nails
the other woman is perfect where her rival fails and she's never seen with pin curls in her hair the other woman enchants her clothes with french perfume the other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room there are never toys that's scattered everywhere and when her baby comes to call he'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen cos when he's by her side it's such a change from old routine but the other woman will always cry herself to sleep the other woman will never have his love to keep and as the years go by the other woman will spend her life alone |

Eternal life is now on my trail
Got my red glitter coffin man, just need one last nail... While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games There's a flaming red horizon that screams our names (chorus): And as your fantasies are broken in two Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you? You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel Racist everyman, what have you done? Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son Crown my fear your king, at the point of a gun All I wanna do is love everyone (chorus) There's no time for hatred, only questions What is love? Where is happiness? What is a life? Where is peace? When will I find the strength to bring me relief? Tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said? Man it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead Well I've got a message for you and your twisted hope You'd better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal, angel |

I have no desire to make contact with all the thought of "no, no." I shiver now, to think of how this answer asked her, no. Long time gone. I run to my hide out. There ain't a star born that brightens More than you, you always should have known, I'll illuminate your question, Long time ago I'd died and gone. What has brought the question? Time has brought the question. Come and call the question, Oh, oh, oh. Here are the stars, same thing again Over, over, over, over, over, over Over, over, over, over, over, over. |

Long enough for the clouds to fly me away Well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid to die My fading voice sings of love, but she cries to the clicking of time Oh, time, Wait in the fire... And she weeps on my arm Walking to the bright lights in sorrow Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow Oh my love... And the rain is falling and I believe my time has come It reminds me of the pain I might leave behind... Wait in the fire And I feel them drown my name So easy to know and forget with this kiss I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow |

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water And maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight you're on my mind so (you'll never know) I'm broken down and hungry for your love With no way to feed it Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run Sometimes a man gets carried away When he feels like he should be having his fun And much too blind to see the damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, He has no one... So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return, oh, or will I ever learn Lover, you should've come over Cause it's not too late Lonely is the room the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I sleep so soft against her... It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong Oh... Lover, you should've come over... 'Cause it's not too late |

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Put my heart in its recipe It makes me see what I want to see... And be what I want to be When I think more than I want to think Do things I never should do I drink much more than I ought to drink Because It brings me back you... Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love Listen to me... I cannot see clearly Isn't that he coming to me nearly here? Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love? Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love? Listen to me, why is everything so hazy? Isn't that he, or am I just going crazy, dear? Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love... ...feel unready for my love |

The blanket is warm This body will never be safe from harm Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal Touch my skin to keep me whole If only you′d come back to me If you laid at my side I wouldn′t need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied Don′t wanna weep for you, I don′t wanna know I′m blind and tortured, the white horses flow The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow Black beauty I love you so Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster′s flesh Drop down we two to serve and pray to love Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven Ageless, ageless I′m there in your arms Don′t wanna weep for you, I don′t wanna know I′m blind and tortured, the white horses flow The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow Black beauty I love you so So, so... The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more Well it′s you I′ve waited my life to see It′s you I′ve searched so hard for... Don′t wanna weep for you, I don′t wanna know I′m blind and tortured, the white horses flow The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow Black beauty I love you so So, black black black black beauty... |

It's been such a long time
And I was just a child then What will you say When you see my face? Time feels like it's flown away The days just pass and fade away What will you say When they take my place? It's funny now I just don't feel like I'm a man What will you say When you see my face? My face... Mother dear, the world's gone cold No one cares about love anymore What will you say When you see my face? Father do you hear me? Do you know me? Do you even care? What will you say When they take my place? My heart can't take this anymore What will you say When you see my face? When you see my, See my face... I can feel your time crawling To a slow end I can feel my time crawling To a slow end... Mother dear, the world's gone cold No one cares about love anymore What will you say When you see my face? Father do you hear me? Do you know me? Did you even care? What will you say When you take my place? Well it's so funny now I just don't feel like I'm a man What will you say? |

there is a child sleeping near his twin
the pictures go wild in a rush of wind that dark angel he is shuffling in watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled the love you lost with her skin so fair is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair her green eyes bloom goodbyes with her head in her hands and your kiss on the lips of another dream brother with your tears scattered round the world. don′t be like the one who made me so old don′t belie the one who left behind his name ′cause they′re waiting for you like i waited for mine and nobody ever came i feel afraid and i call your name i love your voice and your dance insane i hear your words and i know your pain your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over |

Eternal life is now on my trail
Got my red glitter coffin man, just need one last nail... While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games There's a flaming red horizon that screams our names (chorus): And as your fantasies are broken in two Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you? You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel Racist everyman, what have you done? Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son Crown my fear your king, at the point of a gun All I wanna do is love everyone (chorus) There's no time for hatred, only questions What is love? Where is happiness? What is a life? Where is peace? When will I find the strength to bring me relief? Tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said? Man it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead Well I've got a message for you and your twisted hope You'd better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal, angel |

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die But it's over Just hear this and then I'll go You gave me more to live for More than you'll ever know This is our last embrace Must I dream and always see your face Why can't we overcome this wall Well, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all Kiss me, please kiss me But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation Oh, You know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time I'll only make you cry This is our last goodbye Did you say "no, this can't happen to me," And did you rush to the phone to call Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind Saying maybe you didn't know him at all You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know Well, the bells out in the church tower chime Burning clues into this heart of mine Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories Offer signs that it's over~ It's over ~~ |

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water And maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight you're on my mind so (you'll never know) I'm broken down and hungry for your love With no way to feed it Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run Sometimes a man gets carried away When he feels like he should be having his fun And much too blind to see the damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, He has no one... So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return, oh, or will I ever learn Lover, you should've come over Cause it's not too late Lonely is the room the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I sleep so soft against her... It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong Oh... Lover, you should've come over... 'Cause it's not too late |
