ya got a circus voodoo way about you
i got a certain way about me too
let's take it to the pyramids
let's you and me go break our way in
ya might wanna run all night
from the street yeah you glow so bright
ya got ghosts up inside your eyes
i wouldn't be hanging with you otherwise
running with the robot in the alleyway
up on the roof till the break of day
another interstellar saturday
i wouldn't have it any other way
we could have such fun
looking down the gun
dare the devil on and on and on again
cos I just couldn't go on
if you won't be the one
the one I go to on and on and on again
cos it don't move me
if it don't abuse me
and it won't phase me
if it's not amazing..

he stumbles home his head spinning over and under
trying to recall all her words and the way they were said
crossing the bridge from hell into san francisco
hoping to jump like a madman and land in his bed
the world it stopped as men ran out into the desert
and eagles rained blades of steel down from the sky
in his dreams he's following her through the city
the cars are mirrors that reflect the light as they pass
two girls kiss in the street as they run to the taxi
he sees her face in the headlights distorted in glass
in the distance the howl of the traffic was rising
and as he woke up a city fell into the sea
and then the world it fell in through the sleeping sky
he made his way to the streets once the sounds had begun
he bowed his head and caught on a star as it shot on by
she found him there
First Cuban Boy On The Sun.

if he don't want you
as badly as i want you
why you loving him
so much longer than you want to?
if he don't want to
as badly as i want to
why you wanting him
as badly as i want you?
if he's the one for you
then why are you so angry
if you don't wanna kill him
then why you trying to make me
if you're the one for him
then why we getting stoned?
if you're the one for him then why are you alone?

My Catholic Blues
02:31
|
|||
|
i know you'll always be here by my side
from the truth i keep trying to hide
while the ashes are falling outside
you're my shelter through terror and tide
from the fear that would swallow my mind
and the whole world along for the ride
i'm way too young
to feel this old
but i see the world in purple and gold
it's what i was born into not what i choose
but you hold the line while i'm paying my dues
with my catholic blues
god only knows how much money i spent
trying to give up my conscience for lent
got no clue as to which way it went
or how many times i've had to bend
it might all even out in the end
no one answers the prayers that i send
the fire inside
it's all that i know
i burned all my bridges i've no where to go
for all of my lies and all of my loss
i'm having too good a time up on my cross
i know you'll always be here by my side
from the truth i keep trying to hide
while the ashes are falling outside
you're my shelter through terror and tide
from the fear that would swallow my mind
and the whole world along for the ride
i'm glad you're along for the ride

This House

this house does not let the world just enter
blind and dumb to those who rest here
you'll be safe with what you bring here
welcome home
this house will not fall as long as people's hearts
still beat the beat of a thousand years
of blood and love and lives lived
welcome you who travel long and lonely
you who hear your voices only
all who pray for what you've always wanted
this house let's you find what you have always
carried close, too close to know that all you need
is on your table like a feast
i hope that your traveling brings you to a door
that opens to the house inside your visions
and your wildest dreams
there you'll find your home
welcome you who wander lost and crazy
you who might not come back maybe
you will find your rest and a blessed silence
peace be on your house

Monkey Shines

i'm listen for you when i'm up in the dark
the sight of you turns on the light in my heart
you hold me closer till there's nothing to part
don't know where you stop and where i start
you are everything
i am kneeling
you get me to sing
what i'm feeling
i'm like a baby
with mud on my face
you know you can't take me any place
i'm disappearing i can't find trace
my breath is falling you untie your lace
my monkey shines
i am dreaming
your mouth on mine
i am gleaming
your my angels voice
i fall and rejoice
you give me no choice
love's not a choice

Blow My House Down
02:54

|
you got a bad bad temper
and a big big mouth
big bad squall coming up from the south
it's gonna blow my house down
should of known the bad was brewing
by the funny way they said my name
should left the zoo before the lions
went and changed the game
now it's gonna blow my house down
noon bell ringing the town is clearing out
get in the fight get in the fight or get out
it's gonna blow my house down

Cobalt Blue Sky

like the lightning in my window
throw me crazy cast my shadow
till i'm blind and on the floor again
you're the moonlight in my doorway
hold my tattered flags up for me
i may never know andmoreagain
this cobalt blue sky
could hold through moonrise
the stars will do the rest
my best friend
you need know reassuring hand to let you know
that i'm the man who will not watch you go
so take the fire in the mountain
like the clouds it will surround us
my love's all you really need to know
this cobalt blue sky
could hold through moonrise
so trust your own eyes
the stars will do the rest
they will not be put to test

turn your love back
turn in back my way
bring it right back
bring it back to stay
cos when you've had it
all you do is grab at it
no no no
and when it's gone well all you do is want it
no no no
