Matador sweeps the veil From the
last young day of my life Malibu
tides inhale Santa Ana Winds from
behind Wade out into the water No
more chances this year I've busied
myself all summer My day for swimming
is here Yes it's time Seaside
revelations All those dreams and
visions of mine Washed up like a
vacation Lost as I wasted my time Looking
through my dark glasses I see smiles
on the faces of friends But time
keeps pushing me on now And I'll
ride this wave till the end Please
don't go away Stay awhile, stay
awhile Please don't go away Stay
awhile, stay awhile Say goodbye
to the weekend And the last of the
summertime sun Driving off the end
of a decade So many things to be
done September and the trees are
restless Windchimes blow in the
dark Lying on the couch defenseless With
blue clouds court and spark Please
don't go away Stay awhile, stay
awhile Please don't go away Stay
awhile, stay awhile Please don't
go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please
don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile

Time, you needed time out of the mainstream
Out on your only
Alone to find yourself somehow
So I'm a bit surprised to see you lately
Beside a brand new baby
But if it makes you happy now
I guess that's great
I guess you're not mine
Brand new baby beside you now, oh yeah
I guess that's great
You don't see me cryin'
And there's nobody to slow you down, oh yeah
If you're feeling sorry, try to contain it
You don't need to save me
Don't waste your pity anyhow
And you might like to believe I'm devastated
To see you with your brand new baby
Well if it makes you happy nowI guess that's great
I guess you're not mine
Brand new baby beside you now, oh yeah
I guess that's great
You don't see me cryin'
And there's nobody to slow you down
Seen you with your brand new baby
Sure it fazes me just to hear you laughing
Makes me just a little crazy
but I guess it's a great thing
If it makes you happy now.
I guess that's great
I guess you're not mine
Brand new baby beside you now, oh yeah
I guess that's great
You don't see me cryin'
And there's nobody to slow you down, oh yeah
Seen you with your brand new baby
Sure it fazes me just to hear you laughing
Makes me just a little crazy
but I guess it's a great thing
If it makes you happy now.

Red is the ocean which we ride,
Carried along on a changing tide,
Blind, blind rage and pure delight,
Running in the current side by side.
(Waiting for whatever we haven't tried)

Baby it's amazing all the things a self contains!

Peace is in the veins, in the veins!
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)

Heaven transcendence angels fly,
Anger and vengeance, blue, blue sky, oh!
All injected from the mind,
Down, in the liquid world combined.
(And your prescription has been signed!)

Search the wild green outside and inside is what remains,
Peace is in the veins, in the veins!
(Be careful what you put in there)

Wide open world there is no mind without you,
And a little bit is not enough.

Wide open mind divine the world about you,
And a little more is not enough,
And a little more is not enough.

Baby it's amazing all the things a self contains,
Peace is in the veins, in the veins,
Peace is in the veins, in the veins.
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)

In the veins!
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)
(Be careful what you put in there)

Last night I dreamed of falling,
Down a wishing well,
No one could hear me calling,
From where I fell.

And from above the ground,
I could faintly hear,
The world and all her sounds,
Songs, vows, playgrounds, tears.

I fell in a wishing well,
Now the damage is done,
And who, who have I become?

Not even angels saw me,
From tall starry skies,
And then a searchlight shone upon me,
Bright in my eyes.

For all this time I prayed,
You might come around,
Now stranger I'm afraid,
I might call you down.

I fell in a wishing well,
Now the damage is done,
And who, who have I become?

I'm through with my dream come true,
Then it's just begun,
And who, who have I become?

Opened my eyes and woke up twice this morning,
Lately getting up has only got me down,
Maybe there's a place where I can live again,
Never leave the ground.

I fell in a wishing well,
Now the damage is done,
(Now the damage is done),
And who, who have I become?

I'm through with my dream come true,
And it's just begun,
Who, who have I become?

I wandered in the moonlight,
A ghost without a friend,
All around the starlight found are lost and wounded men,
I know that I did some damage,
I wanted to be home again,
So I waited for a star my soul to mend,
I waited for a star my soul to mend.

She came a long way to love me,
And I'm tasting her spark,
She came a long way to kiss me,
Now my lips are wet,
I know that I don't deserve it,
But I want to hear her sigh,
And I want to stay here forever in her light,
I want to stay forever in her light.

Star you're a beautiful sight,
Bring me you lovely light,
I'll be a satellite, satellite,
Star you're a beautiful sight,
Bring me you lovely light,
I'll be a satellite, satellite.

And there's a dark crater space in heaven,
And I might want you to shine,
And there's a bright little place in my head,
And darkness blows my mind,
I can lie on my back and wonder,
Why I've been treated so fine,
And make love to her while we have tonight,
I'll make love to her while we have tonight.

Star you're a beautiful sight,
Bring me you lovely light,
I'll be a satellite, satellite,
Star you're a beautiful sight,
Bring me you lovely light,
I'll be a satellite, satellite,
I'll be a satellite, satellite,
I'll be a satellite, satellite.

Brilliant, that's great.

Twilight in the sculpture garden,
When we walk around the place,
Look upon the beautiful secrets,
That all the artists' made.

How fast the light has faded,
And we still wanna stay,
Turn down the noise in the city,
The dark down town parade.

At night they turn the water on around the artworks,
In the garden, in the garden, go.

Midnight in the sculpture garden,
Underneath the cherry moon,
We can make our own beautiful secret,
We can join the fabled few.

Starlight in the sculpture garden,
With a stainless steel balloons,
Rose petal vermilion breezes,
I believe the artists knew.

At night they turn the water on around the artworks,
In the garden, in the garden,
In the garden, in the garden, go.

Starlight in the sculpture garden,
With a stainless steel balloons,
Rose petal vermilion breezes,
I'm gone.

It's a hurting desire strong and sweet,
Memory so pretty I can hardly say,
You thought I was sleeping as you walked to the street,
You gave what you wanted then you went away.

Did you mean what you did?
Would you give it again?
What you gave as a gift, a gift?

I went on a mission to the town where you lived,
Dark, dusty places you've not seen in a while,
I want to seek the basements where you hid,
I want to see your face as a little child.

Did you mean what you did?
Would you give it again?
What you gave as a gift, a gift?

Did you mean what you did?
Could you give it again, ever again?
What you gave as a gift, a gift?

Fascinating new thing
You delight me
And I know you're speaking of me
Fascinating new thing
Get beside me,
I want you to love me
I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you
Fascinating new thing
The scene-makin'
Want a temporary savior
Fascinating new thing
Don't betray them
By becoming familiar
I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you
I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're priceless and you're precious
Even when you are not new.
I'm surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you
I'm surprised that you've never been told before

Even when you are not new.
Fascinating new thing....

Morning comes and morning goes
Now it's me against the sun
The day goes by and darkness grows
And it's over before it's done
Well I know it'll be alright if I just get on the road
If I run I can free my worried mind
Yeah I know on the day I die I will lose my heavy load
But I wouldn't want to leave you behind
All my time keeps creeping on
Now I've grown into a man
But Mr. Child still wants to run
From the cradle to the van
Keep thinking it'll be alright if I just get on the road
If I run I can free my worried mind
Keep thinking of the day I die when I lose my heavy load
But I wouldn't want to leave you behind.
But I wouldn't want to leave you behind.
Keep thinking it'll be alright if I just get on the road
If I run I can free my worried mind
Keep thinking of the day I die when I lose my heavy load
But I wouldn't want to leave you behind.

All above me the stars are bright And
a sweet suburban breeze is blowing And
down the block are the parking lights Of
a hundred friends who I barely know
and Don't know me Don't know me None
of them know me And all through
the party I want to leave (All alone
with one true love) I could be happy
if I could be (In the dark with
one true love) And in the middle
of everyone I still find myself
with my thoughts alone And in the
middle of all the noise Look around
myself at the shining toys that I
don't need I don't need I don't
really need And all through the
party I want to leave (All alone
with one true love) All of the lights
are shining on me (But all I want
is one true love) In this world
I can see Many billions waiting
in the sun So I'd love to believe There'd
be one of us for everyone One of
us for everyone Enough to go around But
that's not what I've found And
all through the party I want to leave (All
alone with one true love) All of
the lights are shining on me (All
I want is one true love) All of
my life I've just wanted to be (All
alone with one true love) Every
day and night to be on my own with One
true love With one true love With
one true love With one true love With
one true love

It's not the pain, that I'm used to it,
It's feeling like I'm already dead,
I see from a ceiling of misty spirit,
Rising from a place in my head.

And I never even get to go down,
Down in flames.

I said, friend you have a life to see,
Why do you want to scare me so?
All the suffering and mystery me,
I can't even pretend to know.

So you never even get to go down,
Down in flames,
You never even get to go down,
Down in flames.

We had plans to explore the stars,
Be rejected by stage door guards,
Mining for gold, the time unreels,
Not stifling behind Suburban wheels,
Not stifling behind Suburban wheels, yeah.

The plan was to burn up when the air was clear,
We'd all wear our visors down,
Not from a spark in the atmosphere,
Not this man-sized hole in the ground,
Now your father's face is frozen between anger and tears,
You're mother's hair's amazingly grey,
And I'm seeing these friends for the first time in years,
It's icicle reunion day.

And you never even got to go down,
Down in flames,
You never even got to go down,
Down in flames,
You never even got to go down,
Down in flames,
You never, ever, ever even got to go down,
Down in flames.

Over mountains, that's where my love lives
A long, long ride to sunland here where I did this

Across the great divide alone (wondering open afraid and)
Arriving alive unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)


If I could I might
Send my love on a plane ride
A black cross high in a blue sky
A green cross gliding on a million pines

Across the great divide alone wondering open afraid and,
Arrive in a life unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)


Across the great divide alone wondering open afraid and,
Arrive in a life unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)
Across the great divide alone (wondering open afraid and)
Try to find a life unknown (unknown unwise and unaided).


Across the great divide alone wondering open afraid and,
Arrive in a life unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)

I went to see temptation yesterday,
In a four-plex out on the old high drive,
'Cause something in my life was run away,
Or maybe to prove that I am still alive,
Temptation lives alone and she works all day,
So I waited after five on her front porch,
She arrived, parked her car, then she walked my way,
She smiled to see me standing at her door.

Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin,
She turned the key in the lock and let me in,
Ah, ah, ah,
Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do,
Ah, ah, ah,
Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do.

Somewhere in the world tonight,
Two lovers are treating each other right,
Somewhere else in a lonely town,
One lover waits and endless hour, yeah.

Driving home in the dark,
I say this time will be the last,
I know what I should never do,
At least I'll keep Temptation's photograph,
Maybe hang on to her phone number too.

Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin,
Well, I don't plan to tell anyone where I've been,
Ah, ah, ah,
Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do,
Ah, ah, ah,
Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do,
Yeah, ah, ah, ah,
Showed me what I shouldn't do.
Ah, ah, ah, Oooh, ah, ah, ah,
Showed me, showed me, ah, ah, ah.

The night of a thousand verses
One thousand friends said have you heard
What we expected

We are all working late and
Waiting to win a prize we don't deserve
And live to collect it

Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait

The night of a thousand verses
One thousand strivers strain to hear
A voice that's left us

And the magazines still have to sell us
Twelve mastergeniuses a year
It's all so shameless

Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait

Can't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this news can wait

Maybe there was a message in it
I don't know where you hid it
Maybe there was a piece that will fit
I don't know where to fit it

Tell me what kind of prize can you get
Where you don't want to win it?

Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait

Can't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this blues can wait

You're the movie star of the inner space,
Come to town awhile, bring your quite place,
Show me how it's done with a wave of your hand,
I'm destroyed and recreated.

No one else,
Can make me cry,
Like you, you, love.

You're the only one, who did everything right,
Come to play with me, come to change my mind,
Sleepy valium, low red light in the wire,
I've been thinking about the one you left behind.

No one else,
Can make me cry,
Like you, you, love.

Laughing, lost her way,
She caught a train to far points north,
And left the phone bill on the table in the sun,
She had enough of her old self,
Same face, same space,
She wanted wider fields where she could run.

Come on then, time is getting late,
Show me how you make it alright.

No one else,
Can make me cry,
Like you, you, love,
No one else,
Can make me fly, keep me high,
Shine light inside, make me cry,
Like you, you, love, love.
