And he walked on down the hall

Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door
And he looked inside

Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar
Driving down your freeways
Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman so alone
So alone, so alone, so alone
Motel money murder-madness
Lets change the mood from glad to sadness

Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss
The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
Well meet again, well meet again

Very near yet, very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear
Come today, come today

What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down

With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it
We want the world and we want it

When I was back there in seminary school
There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the Lord with prayer
You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!
Can you give me sanctuary
I must find a place to hide
A place for me to hide
Can you find me soft asylum
I cant make it anymore
The Man is at the door
Peppermint, miniskirts, chocolate candy
Champion sax and a girl named Sandy
Theres only four ways to get unraveled
One is to sleep and the other is travel, da da
One is a bandit up in the hills
One is to love your neighbor till
His wife gets home
Catacombs
Nursery bones
Winter women
Growing stones
Carrying babies
To the river
Streets and shoes
Avenues
Letter writers
Selling news

Successful hills are here to stay
Everything must be this way
Gentle streets where people play
Welcome to the Soft Parade
All our lives we sweat and save
Building for a shallow grave
Must be something else we say
Somehow to defend this place
Everything must be this way
Everything must be this way, yeah
The Soft Parade has now begun
Listen to the engines hum
People out to have some fun
A cobra on my left
Leopard on my right, yeah
The deer woman in a silk dress
Girls with beads around their necks
Kiss the hunter of the green vest
Who has wrestled before
With lions in the night
Out of sight!
The lights are getting brighter
The radio is moaning
Calling to the dogs
There are still a few animals
Left out in the yard
But its getting harder
To describe sailors
To the underfed
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure
What got us this far
To this mild equator?
We need someone or something new
Something else to get us through, yeah, come on
Calling on the dogs
Calling on the dogs
Oh, its getting harder
Calling on the dogs
Calling in the dogs
Calling all the dogs
Calling on the gods
You got to meet me
Too late, baby
Slay a few animals
At the crossroads
Too late
All in the yard
But its getting harder
By the crossroads
You got to meet me
Oh, were going, were going great
At the edge of town
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure
Having a good time
Got to come along
What got us this far
To this mild equator?
Outskirts of the city
You and I
We need someone new
Something new
Something else to get us through
Better bring your gun
Better bring your gun
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure
Were going to ride and have some fun
When all else fails
We can whip the horses eyes
And make them sleep
And cry |
Dont ya love her madly?
Dont ya need her badly?
Dont ya love her ways?
Tell me what you say

Dont you love her ways?
Tell me what you say
Dont ya love her as shes walking out the door?

Of a deep blue dream
Seven horses seem to be on the mark
Yeah, dont you love her?
Dont you love her as shes walking out the door?
All your love
All your love
All your love
Yeah, all your love is gone
So sing a lonely song
Of a deep blue dream

Hello, I love you

To make the queen of the angels sigh?

Wont you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Wont you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
I want you
Hello
I need my baby
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello... |
Well, the clock says its time to close now

The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights shed their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still one place to go
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and Ill wander baby
Stumblin in the neon groves
Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget

Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and Ill wander baby
Stumblin in the neon groves

Theres blood in the streets
Its up to my ankles
Blood in the streets
Its up to my knee
Blood in the streets
In the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise
Its following me
Think about the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
Blood in the streets
Runs a river of sadness
Blood in the streets, its up to my thigh
Yeah, the river runs red
Down the legs of a city
The women are crying
Red rivers of weepin
She came in town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young childs fragile eggshell mind
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A
Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
Theres blood in the streets
Its up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, its up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, its following me |
Well, show me the way

Lets swim to the moon, uh huh
Lets climb through the tide
Penetrate the evening that the
City sleeps to hide
Lets swim out tonight, love
Its our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean
On our moonlight drive
Lets swim to the moon, uh huh
Lets climb through the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds
That lap against our side
Nothing left open
And no time to decide
Weve stepped into a river
On our moonlight drive
Lets swim to the moon
Lets climb through the tide
You reach your hand to hold me
But I cant be your guide
Easy, I love you
As I watch you glide
Falling through wet forests
On our moonlight drive, baby
Moonlight drive
Come on baby, gonna take a little ride
Down, down by the ocean side
Gonna get real close
Get real tight
Baby gonna drown tonight
Goin down, down, down |
Awake.
Shake dreams from your hair
my pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day and choose the sign of your day
the days divinity
First thing you see.
A vast radiant beach and cooled jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by its quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us.
Choose they croon the Ancient Ones
the time has come again
choose now, they croon
beneath the moon
beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream
Come with us
everything is broken up and dances.
Indians scattered,
On dawns highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child’s
Fragile eggshell mind
We have assembled inside,
This ancient and insane theater
To propagate our lust for life,
And flee the swarming wisdom of the streets.
The barns have stormed
The windows kept,
And only one of all the rest
To dance and save us
From the divine mockery of words,
Music inflames temperament.
Ooh great creator of being
Grant us one more hour,
To perform our art
And perfect our lives.
We need great golden copulations,
When the true kings murderers
Are allowed to roam free,
A thousand magicians arise in the land
Where are the feast we are promised?
One more thing
Thank you oh lord
For the white blind light
Thank you oh lord
For the white blind light
A city rises from the sea
I had a splitting headache
From which the futures made |
Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
Theyre going to destroy
Our casual joys
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town
Yeah!
Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin
And you know this is it
Yeah!
Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone |
She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens
She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy diamond studded flunkies
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you
I see you live on Love Street
Theres this store where the creatures meet
I wonder what they do in there
Summer Sunday and a year
I guess I like it fine, so far
She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens
La la, la, la-la-la-la
La la, la, la-la-la-la
La la, la, la-la-la-la
La la, la, la-la-la-la... |
Do you know the warm progress under the stars?
Do you know we exist?
Have you forgotten the keys to the kingdom?
Have you been born yet, and are you alive?
Lets reinvent the gods, all the myths of the ages
Celebrate symbols from deep elder forests
Have you forgotten the lessons of the ancient war?
We need great golden copulations
The fathers are cackling in trees of the forest
Our mother is dead in the sea
Do you know we are being lead to slaughter by placid admirals
And that fat slow generals are getting obscene on young blood?
Do you know we are ruled by T.V.?
The moon is a dry blood beast
Guerrilla bands are rolling numbers
In the next block of green vine
Amassing for warfare on innocent herdsman who are just dying
O great creator of being, grant us one more hour to perform our art and perfect our lives
The moths and atheists are doubly divine and dying
We live, we die, and death not ends it
Journey we more into the Nightmare
Cling to life our passioned flower
Cling to Cunts & Cocks of despair
We got our final vision by clap
Columbuss groin got filled with green death
I touched her thigh and death smiled
We have assembled inside this ancient and insane theatre
To propagate our lust for life and flee the swarming wisdom of the streets
The barns are stormed
The windows kept
And only one of all the rest to dance and save us with the divine mockery of words
Music inflames temperament
When the true Kings murderers are allowed to roam free
A 1000 Magicians arise in the land
Where are the feasts we are promised?
Where is the wine, The new wine, dying on the vine? |
Wow, Im sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain south
Cruel bindings
The servants have the power
Dog-men and their mean women
Pulling poor blankets over our sailors
Im sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the TV tower
I want roses in my garden bower, dig?
Royal babies, rubies
Must now replace aborted strangers in the mud
These mutants, blood-meal for the plant thats plowed
They are waiting to take us into the severed garden
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful
Comes death on a strange hour?
Unannounced, unplanned for
Like a scaring over-friendly guest youve brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all
And gives us wings
Where we had shoulders
Smooth as ravens claws
No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems by far the best
Until its other jaw reveals incest
And loose obedience to a vegetable law
I will not go
Prefer a Feast of Friends
To the Giant Family |
Wha, yeah!
Cmon, yeah
Yeah, cmon, yeah
Yeah, cmon
Oh, yeah, ma
Yeah, Im a back door man
Im a back door man
The men dont know
But the little girl understand
Hey, all you people that tryin to sleep
Im out to make it with my midnight creep, yeah
Cause Im a back door man
The men dont know
But the little girls understand
All right, yeah
You men eat your dinner
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah
Im a back door man, wha
The men dont know
But the little girls understand
Well, Im a back door man
Im a back door man
Whoa, baby, Im a back door man
The men dont know
But the little girls understand |
At first flash of Eden
We raced down to the sea
Standing there on freedoms shore
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Cant you feel it
Now that Spring has come
That its time to live in the scattered sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to hear my song
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong
This is the strangest life Ive ever known
Cant you feel it
Now that Spring has come
That its time to live in the scattered sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun |
I wanna tell you bout Texas radio and the big beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow
With rugged precision
The back beat narrow and hard to master
Some call it heavenly in its brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
This is the land where the Pharaoh die
The negroes in the forest, brightly feathered
They are saying, forget the night
Live with us in forests of azure
Out here on the perimeter, there are no stars
Out here we is stoned, immaculate
Now listen to this, and Ill tell you bout the heartache
Ill tell you bout the heartache and the, loss of God
Ill tell you bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
Ill tell you bout the maiden with wrought iron soul
Ill tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now
For wasting the dawn
Ill tell you bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Soft driven, slow and mad, like some new language
Now listen to this and Ill tell you about the Texas
Ill tell you about the Texas, radio
Ill tell you bout the hopeless night
Wandering the western dream
Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul |
Take the highway to the end of the night
End of the night, end of the night
Take a journey to the bright midnight
End of the night, end of the night
Realms of bliss, realms of light
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to the endless night
End of the night, end of the night
End of the night, end of the night
Realms of bliss, realms of light
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to the endless night
End of the night, end of the night
End of the night, end of the night |
Lions in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground
He fled the town
He went down South and crossed the border
Left chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shining skin
Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin
Wake up!
You cant remember where it was
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold
Glazed and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisons
And she was beside me
Old, shes no, young
Her dark white hair
The white soft skin
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom
Look!
Shes coming in here
I cant live thru each slow century of her moving
I let my cheek slide down
The cool smooth tile
Feel the good cold stinging blood
The smooth hissing snakes of rain
Once I had, a little game
I liked to crawl, back in my brain
I think you know, the game I mean
I mean the game, called go insane
You should try, this little game
Just close your eyes, forget your name
Forget the world, forget the people
And well erect, a different steeple
This little game, is fun to do
Just close your eyes, no way to lose
And Im right there, Im going too
Release control, were breaking thru
Way back deep into the brain
Back where theres never any pain
And the rain falls gently on the town
And over the heads of all of us
And in the labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of
Gentle hill dwellers, in the gentle hills around
Reptiles abounding
Fossils, caves, cool air heights
Each house repeats a mold
Windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust Lying under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in sheets
And daughters, smug
With semen eyes in their nipples
Wait
Theres been a slaughter here
(Dont stop to speak or look around
Your gloves and fan are on the ground
Were getting out of town
Were going on the run
And youre the one I want to come)
Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run
Lets run
Lets run
House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
Cmon baby run with me
Lets run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Lets run
The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you wont know a thing till you get inside
Dead presidents corpse in the drivers car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Cmon along, were not going very far
To the East to meet the Czar
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Lets run
Some outlaws lived by the side of the lake
The ministers daughters in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl! Were almost home
We should see the gates by mornin
We should be inside by evening
Sun sun sun
Burn burn burn
MOON, MOON, MOON
I will get you
Soon
Soon
Soon
I am the lizard king
I can do anything
We came down
The rivers and highways
We came down from
Forests and falls
We came down from
Carson and Springfield
We came down from
Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell you
The names of the Kingdom
I can tell you
The things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade
For seven years, I dwelt
In the loose palace of exile
Playing strange games with the girls of the island
Now, i have come again
To the land of the fair, and the strong, and the wise
Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
Children of night
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready |
Wait until the war is over
And were both a little older
The unknown soldier
Breakfast where the news is read
Television, children fed
Unborn living, living dead
Bullet strikes the helmets head
And its all over for the unknown soldier
Its all over for the unknown soldier, uh uh
March!
Company, halt!
Present arms!
Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder
The unknown soldier
Breakfast where the news is read
Television, children fed
Bullet strikes the helmets head
And its all over
The war is over
Its all over
War is over
Its all over, baby!

Oh all right, yeah!

And shes fashionably late
Shell never wreck a scene
Shell never break a date
But shes no drag just watch the way she walks
Shes a twentieth century fox
Shes a twentieth century fox
No tears, no fears
No ruined years, no clocks
Shes a twentieth century fox, oh yeah
Shes the queen of cool
And shes the lady who waits
Since her mind left school
It never hesitates
She wont waste time on elementary talk
Cause shes a twentieth century fox
Shes a twentieth century fox
Got the world locked up
Inside a plastic box
Shes a twentieth century fox, oh yeah
Twentieth century fox, oh yeah
Twentieth century fox, oh
Shes a twentieth century fox |

When the still sea conspires an armor
And her sullen and aborted currents
Breed tiny monsters
True sailing is dead!
Awkward instant
And the first animal is jettisoned
Legs furiously pumping
Their stiff green gallop
And heads bob up
Poise
Delicate
Pause
Consent
In mute nostril agony
Carefully refined
And sealed over |
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Get loose
I live, uptown
I live, downtown
I live, all around
I had money, and I had none
I had money, and I had none
But I never been so broke that I couldnt leave, town
Im a Changeling
See me change
Im a Changeling
See me change
Im the air you breathe
Food you eat
Friends your greet
In the sullen street, wow
See me change, see me change, get loose
I live, uptown
I live, downtown
I live, all around
I had money, yeah, and I had none
I had money, yeah, and I had none
But I never been so broke that I couldnt leave, town
Well, Im the air you breathe
Food you eat
Friends your greet
In the sullen street, wow
You gotta see me change
See me change
Yeah, Im leaving town
On a midnight train
Gotta see me change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Woah, change, change, change |
Ill tell you this...
No eternal reward will forgive us now
For wasting the dawn
Back in those days everything was simpler and more confused
One summer night, going to the pier
I ran into two young girls
The blonde one was called Freedom
The dark one, Enterprise
We talked and they told me this story
Now listen to this...
Ill tell you about Texas radio and the big beat
Soft driven, slow and mad
Like some new language
Reaching your head with the cold, sudden fury of a divine messenger
Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god
Wandering, wandering in hopeless night
Out here in the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we IS stoned
Immaculate |
My wild love went riding
She rode all the day
She wrote to the devil
And asked him to pay
The devil was wiser
Its time to repent
He asked her to give back
The money she spent
My wild love went riding
She rode to the sea
She gathered together
Some shells for her head
She rode and she rode on
She rode for a while
Then stopped for an evening
And lay her head down
She rode on to Christmas
She rode to the farm
She rode to Japan
And we entered a town
By this time the river
Had changed one degree
She asked for the people
To let her go free
My wild love is crazy
She screams like a bird
She moans like a cat
When she wants to be heard
My wild love went riding
She rode for an hour
She rode and she rested
And then she rode on
Ride, come on |
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Set them free
Follow me down
You tell them they dont have to run
Were going to pick up everyone
Come out and take me by my hand
Going to bury all our troubles in the sand, oh yeah
Cant you see the wonder at your feet
Your lifes complete
Follow me down
Cant you see me growing, get your guns
The time has come
To follow me down
Follow me across the sea
Where milky babies seem to be
Molded, flowing revelry
With the one that set them free
Tell all the people that you see
Its just me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Well be free
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Its just me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Follow me down
Youve got to follow me down
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Well be free
Follow me down
Tell all the people you see
Follow me
Got to follow me down |
All right
Wild child full of grace
Savior of the human race
Your cool face
Natural child, terrible child
Not your mothers or your fathers child
Your our child, screaming wild
An ancient lunatic reigns
In the trees of the night
Ha, ha, ha, ha
With hunger at her heels
Freedom in her eyes
She dances on her knees
Pirate prince at her side
Staring into the hollow idol’s eye
Wild child full of grace
Savior of the human race
Your cool face
Your cool face
Your cool face
Do you remember when we were in Africa? |
Summers almost gone
Summers almost gone
Almost gone
Yeah, its almost gone
Where will we be
When the summers gone?
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burned gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin sea
When summers gone
Where will we be
Where will we be
Where will we be
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burned gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin sea
When summers gone
Where will we be
Summers almost gone
Summers almost gone
We had some good times
But theyre gone
The winters coming on
Summers almost gone |
Unhappy girl
Left all alone
Playing solitaire
Playing warden to your soul
You are locked in a prison
Of your own device
And you cant believe
What it does to me
To see you
Crying
Unhappy girl
Tear your web away
Saw through all your bars
Melt your cell today
You are caught in a prison
Of your own device
Unhappy girl
Fly fast away
Dont miss your chance
To swim in mystery
You are dying in a prison
Of your own device |
I looked at you
You looked at me
I smiled at you
You smiled at me
And were on our way
No we cant turn back, babe
Yeah, were on our way
And we cant turn back
Because its too late
Too late, too late
Too late, too late
And were on our way
No we cant turn back, babe

Too late, too late
Too late, too late

And we cant turn back
Because its too late
Too late, too late
Too late, too late |

Fix your hair, move upstairs

Gazing on a city under television skies!

Memorize your alleys on an endless roll, endless roll
Endless roll, endless roll...

Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh

And if you have a certain evening
You could lend to me
Id give it all right back to you
A how it has to be with you

And your mind
Will you stop and think and wonder?
Just what youll see
Out on the train yard
Nursing penitentiary

Go head, brother
Did you stop it to consider?
How it will feel
Cold, grinding grizzly bear jaws
Hot on your heels
Do you often stop and whisper?
Its Saturdays shore
The whole worlds a savior
Who could ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever
Ask for more?
Do you remember?
Will you stop?
Will you stop?
The pain
And there will never be
Another one like you
There will never be
Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh
Will you give another chance?
Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember
We were together, anyway, all right
How you must of think and wondered
How I must feel
Out on the meadows
While you run the field
Im alone for you
And I cry
The sweat, look at it
Optical promise
Heh, heh, heh
Youll be dead and in hell
Before Im born
Sure thing
Brides maid

Queen of the highway
Sign on the road said:

Save the blind tiger
He was a monster
Black dressed in leather
She was a princess
Queen of the Highway
Now they are wedded
She is a good girl
Naked as children
Out in a meadow
Naked as children
Wild as can be
Soon to have offspring
Start it all over
Start it all over

Wow, I’m sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain
Souths cruel bindings
The servants have the power
Dog-men and their mean women
Pulling poor blankets over our sailors
I’m sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the TV tower
I want roses in my garden bower, dig?
Royal babies, rubies must now replace
Aborted strangers in the mud
These mutants, blood-meal
For the plant that’s plowed
They are waiting to take us
Into the severed garden
Do you know how pale and wanton thrill-full
Comes death on a strange hour?
Unannounced, unplanned for
Like a scaring over-friendly guest
You’ve brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all
And gives us wings
Where we had shoulders
Smooth as raven’s claws
No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems by far the best
Until it’s other jaw reveals incest
And loose obedience to a vegetable law
I will not go

Change the weather, change your luck
And then hell teach you, how to, find yourself
LAmerica
Friendly strangers came to town
All the people put them down
But, the women, loved their ways
Come again some other day
Like the gentle rain
Like the gentle rain
That falls
I took a trip down to LAmerica
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
I took a trip down to LAmerica
To trade some beads for a pint of gold

Grandma loved a sailor
Who sailed the frozen sea
Grandpa was that whaler
And he took me on his knee
He said: Son, Im going crazy
From living on the land
Got to find my shipmates
And walk on foreign sands
This old man was graceful
With silver in his smile
He smoked a briar pipe and
He walked four country miles
Singing songs of shady sisters
And old time liberty
Songs of love and songs of death
And songs to set men free
Oh! Eh!
Ive got three ships and sixty men
A course for ports unread
Ill stand at mast, let north winds blow
Till half of us are dead
Land Ho!
Well if I get my hands on a dollar bill
Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill
If I get my hands on a number five
Gonna skin that little girl alive
If I get my hands on a number two
Come back home and marry you
Marry you
Marry you alright
Eh, Land Ho!
Eh, Land Ho!
Well if I get back home and I feel all right
You know babe Im gonna love you tonight
Love you night, love you night
Eh, Land Ho!
Eh, Land Ho!
Eh, Land Ho! |
Lament for my cock
Sore and crucified
I seek to know you
Acquiring soulful wisdom
You can open walls of mystery
Strip show
How to acquire death in the morning show
TV death which the child absorbs
Deathwell mystery which makes me write
Slow train, the death of my cock gives life
Forgive the poor old people who gave us entry
Taught us God in the childs prayer in the night
Guitar player
Ancient wise satyr
Sing your ode to my cock
Caress its lament
Stiffen and guide us, we frozen
Lost cells
The knowledge of cancer
To speak to the heart
And give the great gift
Words, power, trance
This stable friend and the beast of his zoo
Wild haired chicks
Women flowering in their summit
Monsters of skin
Each color connects
to create the boat
which rocks the race
Could any hell be more horrible
Than now and real?
I pressed her thigh and death smiled
Death, old friend
Death and my cock are the world
I can forgive my injuries in the name of
Wisdom, luxury, romance
Sentence upon sentence
Words are healing lament
For the death of my cocks spirit
Has no meaning in the soft fire
Words got me the wound and will get me well
If you believe it
All join now and lament for the death of my cock
A tongue of knowledge in the feathered night
Boys get crazy in the head and suffer
I sacrifice my cock in the altar of silence |
Wintertime winds blow cold the season
Fallen in love, Im hopin to be
Wind is so cold, is that the reason?
Keeping you warm, your hands touching me
Come with me dance, my dear
Winters so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be
Wintertime winds blue and freezing
Coming from northern storms in the sea
Love has been lost, is that the reason?
Trying so desperately to be free
Come with me dance, my dear
Winters so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be
La, la, la, la
Come with me dance, my dear
Winters so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be |
Indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young childs fragile egg-shell mind
Blood in the streets
In the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs
And the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love
In the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of
Phantastic L.A
Blood screams her brain
As they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born
In the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of
Mysterious union
Blood on the rise
Its following me
Indian, Indian
What did you die for?
Indian says nothing at all
Gently they stir
Gently rise
The dead are new-born awakening
With ravaged limbs
And wet souls
Gently they sigh
In rapt funeral amazement
Who called these dead to dance?
Was it the young woman
Learning to play the Ghost Song
In her baby grand
Was it the wilderness children?
Was it the Ghost-God himself
Stuttering, cheering
Chatting blindly?
I called you up to
Annoint the earth
I called you to announce
Sadness falling like
Burned skin
I called you to wish you well
To glory in self like a new monster
And now I call on you to pray |
Wishful crystal
Water covers everything in blue
Cooling water
Wishful sinful
Our love is beautiful to see
I know where I would like to be
Right back where I came
Wishful, sinful, wicked blue
Water covers you
Wishful, sinful, wicked you
Cant escape the blues
Magic rising
Sun is shining deep beneath the sea
But not enough for you and me and sunshine
Love to hear the wind cry
Wishful sinful
Our love is beautiful to see
I know where I would like to be
Right back where I came
Wishful, sinful, wicked blue
Water covers you
Wishful, sinful, wicked you
Cant escape the blues
Love to hear the wind cry
Love to hear you cry, yeah, yeah |
Poor Otis dead and gone
Left me here to sing his song
Pretty little girl with the red dress on
Poor Otis dead and gone
Yeah, back down, turn around slowly
Try it again, remembering when
It was easy, try it again
Much too easy, remembering when
All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walking blues
Dont fight, too much to lose
Cant fight the running blues
Well, Ive got the running blues
Running away, back to L.A
Got to find the dock of the bay
Maybe find it back in L.A
Running scared
Running blue
Goin so fast
Whatll I do
Well, Ive got the running blues
Running away, back to L.A
Got to find the dock of the bay
Maybe find it back in L.A
All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walking blues
Dont fight, too much to lose
Cant fight the running blues
All right, look at my shoes
Not quite the walking blues
Dont fight, too much to lose
Cant fight the running blues |
I was doing time in the universal mind
I was feeling fine
I was turning keys, I was setting people free
I was doing all right

With a suitcase and a song
Turned my head around

Just looking for a home
In every place I see

The movie will begin in five moments
The mindless voice announced
All those unseated will await the next show
We filed slowly, languidly into the hall
The auditorium was vast and silent
As we seated and were darkened
The voice continued:
The program for this evening is not new
Youve seen this entertainment through and through
Youve seen your birth, your life and death
You might recall all of the rest
Did you have a good world when you died?
Enough to base a movie on?
Im getting out of here
Where are you going?
To the other side of morning
Please dont chase the clouds, pagodas
Her cunt gripped him like a warm friendly hand
Its all right, all your friends are here
When can I meet them?
After youve eaten
Im not hungry
Uh, we meant beaten
Silver stream, silvery scream
Oooh, impossible concentration |
Who scared you?
Why were you born, my babe?
In two-times arms with all of your charms, my love
Why were you born, just to play with me
To freak out or to be beautiful, my dear?
Load your head, blow it up, feeling good, baby
Load your head, blow it up, feeling good, baby, ah
Well, my room is so cold, you know you dont have to go, my babe
And if you warm it up right, Im gonna love you tonight, my love
Well, Im glad that we came, I hope youre feeling the same
Who scared you and why were you born?
Please stay
I see a rider coming down the road
Got a burden, carrying a heavy load
One sack of silver and one bag of gold
Thank you very much, gentlemen |

Bird of prey

Gently pass on by
Bird of prey

Did you know freedom exists
In a school book?
Did you know madmen
Are running our prison
Within a jail, within a gaol
Within a white free protestant
Maelstrom
Were perched headlong
On the edge of boredom
Were reaching for death
On the end of a candle
Were trying for something
Thats already found us |
Well I used to know someone fair
She had orange ribbons in her hair
She was such a trip, she was hardly there
But I loved her, just the same
There was rain in our window
The FM set was ragged
But she could talk, yeah
We learned to speak
And one year has gone by
Such a long, long road to seek it
All we did was break and freak it
We had all that lovers ever had
We just blew it and Im not sad
Well, Im mad and Im bad
And two years have gone by
Now her world was bright orange
And the fire glowed
And her friend had a baby
And she lived with us
Yeah, we broke through the window
Yeah, we knocked on the door
Her phone would not answer
Yeah, but shes still home
Now her father has passed over
And her sister is a star
And her mother smokes diamonds
And she sleeps out in the car
Yeah, but she remembers Chicago
The musicians and guitars
And grass by the lake
And people who laughed
And made her poor heart ache
Now we live down in the valley
We work out on the farm
We climb up to the mountains
And everythings fine and Im still here
And youre still there and were still around |
Lions in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground
He fled the town
He went down South and crossed the border
Left chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shining skin
Is everybody in? Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin
Wake up!
You cant remember where it was
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold, glazed and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisms
And she was beside me
Old, shes no, young
Her dark red hair, the white soft skin
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom
Look! shes coming in here
I cant live through each slow century of her moving
I let my cheek slide down, the cool smooth tile
Feel the good cold stinging blood
The smooth hissing snakes of rain
Once I had a little game
I liked to crawl back in my brain
I think you know, the game I mean
I mean the game, called, Go insane
You should try this little game
Just close your eyes forget your name
Forget the world, forget the people
And well erect, a different steeple
This little game is fun to do
Just close your eyes, no way to lose
And Im right there, Im going too
Release control, were breaking through
Way back deep into the brain
Back where theres never any pain
And the rain falls gently on the town
And over the heads of all of us
And in the labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of
Gentle hill dwellers, in the gentle hills around
Reptiles abounding
Fossils, caves, cool air heights
Each house repeats a mold, windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust Lying under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in sheets
And daughters, smug
With semen eyes in their nipples
Wait
Theres been a slaughter here
Dont stop to speak or look around
Your gloves and fan are on the ground
Were getting out of town, were going on the run
And youre the one I want to come
Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run
Lets run, lets run
House upon the hill, moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
Cmon baby run with me
Lets run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Lets run
The mansion is warm at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you wont know a thing till you get inside
Dead Presidents corpse in the drivers car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Cmon along, were not going very far
To the East to meet the Czar
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Lets run
Some outlaws lived by the side of the lake
The ministers daughters in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl! Were almost home
We should see the gates by mornin
We should be inside by evening
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn
I will get you
Soon, soon, soon
I am the lizard king
I can do anything
We came down
The rivers and highways
We came down from
Forests and falls
We came down from
Carson and Springfield
We came down from
Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell you
The names of the Kingdom
I can tell you
The things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade
For seven years, I dwelt
In the loose palace of exile
Playing strange games with the girls of the island
Now, I have come again
To the land of the fair and the strong and the wise
Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
Children of night
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready |
Angels and sailors
Rich girls, backyard fences, tents
Dreams watching each other narrowly
Soft luxuriant cars
Girls in garages, stripped
Out to get liquor and clothes
Half gallons of wine and six packs of beer
Jumped, humped, born to suffer
Made to undress in the wilderness
I will never treat you mean
Never start no kind of scene
Ill tell you
Every place and person that Ive been
Always a playground instructor
Never a killer
Always a bridesmaid
On the verge of fame or over
He manuevered two girls
Into his hotel room
One a friend
The other, the young one
A newer stranger
Vaguely Mexican or Puerto Rican
Poor boys thighs and buttocks
Scarred by a fathers belt
Shes trying to rise
Story of her boyfriend
Of teenage stoned death games
Handsome lad, dead in a car
Confusion
No connections
Come here
I love you
Peace on earth
Will you die for me?
Eat me
This way
The end
Ill always be true
Never go out, sneaking out on you, babe
If youll only show me Far Arden again
Im surprised you could get it up
He whips her lightly, sardonically with belt
Havent I been through enough? she asks
Now dressed and leaving
The Spanish girl begins to bleed;
She says her period
Its Catholic heaven
I have an ancient Indian crucifix around my neck
My chest is hard and brown
Lying on stained, wretched sheets
With a bleeding virgin
We could plan a murder
Or start a religion |
Resident mockery
Give us an hour for magic
We of the purple glove
We of the starling flight and velvet hour
We of arabic pleasures breed
We of sundome and the night
Give us a creed
To believe
A night of Lust
Give us trust in
The Night
Give of color
Hundred hues
A rich Mandala
For me and you
And for your silky
Pillowed house
A head, wisdom
And a bed
Troubled decree
Resilent mockery
Has claimed thee
We used to believe
In the good old days
We still receive
In little ways
The Things of Kindness
And unsporting brow
Forget and allow |
The music was new, black polished chrome
And came over the summer like liquid night
The DJs took pills to stay awake
And play for seven days
They went to the studio
And someone knew him
Someone knew the TV showman
He came to our homeroom party
And played records and when he left
In the hot noon sun
And walked to his car
We saw the Chooks had written
F-U-C-K on his windshield
He wiped it off with a white rag
And smiling cooly drove away
Hes rich
Got a big car |
Yuppa tuppa ta ta
Yuppa tuppa chic ta
Do thang, do thang
Do tuppa thang cho
Rikki te tatar

Me and my mother and father -
And a grandmother and a grandfather -
Were driving through the desert
At dawn, and a truck load of Indian workers
Had either hit another car, or just -
I dont know what happened -
But there were Indians scattered
All over the highway, bleeding to death
So the car pulls up and stops
That was the first time I tasted fear
I mustve been about four -
Like a child is like a flower
His head is just floating in the breeze, man
The reaction I get now thinking about it
Looking back - is that the souls
Or the ghosts, of those dead Indians
Maybe one or two of them
Were just running around freaking out
And just leaped into my soul
And theyre still in there |
Well Ill tell you a story of whiskey and mystics and men
Da-da-dah
And about the believers and how the whole thing began
Da-da-dah
First there were women and children obeying the moon
Da-da-dah
Then daylight brought wisdom and fever and sickness too soon
Da-da-dah
You can try to remind me instead of the other you can
Da-da-dah
You can help to insure that we all insecure our command
Da-da-dah
If you dont give a listen, I wont try to tell your new hand
Da-da-dah
This is it, cant you see that we all have our ends in the band?
Da-da-dah
Da-da-dah
Da-da-dah
And if all of the teachers and preachers of wealth were arraigned
We could see quite a future for me in the literal sands
And if all of the people could claim to inspect such regret
Da-da-dah
Well, wed have no forgiveness, forgetfulness, faithful remorse
Da-da-dah
So, I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must send away
Da-da-dah
We must try to find a new answer instead of a way |
Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin
Wake up!
You cant remember where it was
Had this dream stopped? |
Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin
Wake up!
You cant remember where it was
Has this dream stopped? |
And I know
It will be
An easy ride, all right
And I know
It will be
Easy ride, ok
The mask that you wore
My fingers would explore
Costume of control
Excitement soon unfolds
And I know
It will be
Easy ride, yeah
Joy, for vaguely
Wishful pride
Wishful pride, yeah
Black polished stone
Black polished stone
I see your eyes
Like burning glass
Like burning glass
Hear you smile, smile, babe
The mask that you wore
My fingers would explore
Costume of control
Excitement soon unfolds, hey
Easy, baby
Call the queen, now
Be my bride
Raging darkness
By my side
Seize the summer
In your pride
Take the winter
In your stride
Lets ride, yeah
Easy, easy, easy
Easy, easy, ease, easy
Yeah, yeah, ride
Dum, dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum, dum
Ride |
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
Ill never look into your eyes again
Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some strangers hand
In a desperate land
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
Ride the kings highway, baby
Theres danger on the edge of town
Ride the kings highway, baby
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake, hes old and his skin is cold
The west is the best, the west is the best
Get here
Well do the rest
The west is the best, the west is the best
Get here
And well do the rest
The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where are you taking us?
The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He paid a visit the room where his sister lived and then he
He walked on down the hall
Paid a visit the room where his brother lived and then he
Walked on down the hall
And he came to a door
He looked inside
Father!
Father
Yes, son?
I want to kill you
He saw his mother
Saw his mother, saw his mother
Mother, mother mother
Mother, mother
Motherfucker
Mother, mother
Motherfucker
Mother, mother, mother, mother
Mother!

Mother

And if I shoot you
It will open you right the fuck up
You see this gun, son?
I got it loaded with Dum Dums
And if I shoot you
It will open you right the fuck up
This is the end |
My gang will get you
Scenes of rape in the arroyo
Seductions in cars, abandoned buildings
Fights at the food stand
The dust
The shoes
Open shirts and raised collars
Bright sculptured hair
Hey man, you want girls, pills, grass?
Come on, I show you good time
This place has everything
Come on, I show you |
The world on fire
Taxi from Africa
The Grand Hotel
He was drunk -
A big party last night.
Back, going back
In all directions.
Sleeping these insane hours.
Ill never wake up in a good mood again.
Im sick of these stinky boots. |
Thoughts in time and out of season
The Hitchhiker
Stood by the side of the road
And leveled his thumb
In the calm calculus of reason
Hi. How you doin? I just got back into town L.A
I was out on the desert for awhile
Riders on the storm
Yeah. In the middle of it
Riders on the storm
Right...
Into this house were born
Hey, listen, man, I really got a problem
Into this world were thrown
When I was out on the desert, ya know
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
I dont know how to tell you
Riders on the storm
But, ah, I killed somebody
Theres a killer on the road
No...
His brain is squirming like a toad
Its no big deal, ya know
I dont think anybody will find out about it, but...
Take a long holiday
Just, ah...
Let your children play
This guy gave me a ride, and ah...
If you give this man a ride
Started giving me a lot of trouble
Sweet family will die
And I just couldnt take it, ya know
Killer on the road
And I wasted him
Yeah |
Build me a woman
Make her ten feet tall
Dont make her ugly
Dont make her small
Build me a woman twelve toed
Build me someone I can ball
All night long
Sunday trucker
Christian motherfucker
Sunday trucker
Christian motherfucker, yeah
Im just a three-eyes boy
Looking for a twelve toed girl
Alright
I dont know what Im talking about
And neither do you
Im just a stupid motherfucker
Just like you are haha!
So why dont you take that little riddle
And stuff it up your ass, alright!
Play the blues, yeah!
This song makes me sick to my stomach, baby
If it ever gets played
Youre all a bunch of dumb cocksuckers, yeah alright
If the music dont improve
Im going to take a trip around the world
Lay it baby!
Sometimes I wonder how long the blues is gonna last
Cause every song sounds like the one before last
And you can take those lyrics and shove em up your ass!
Id rather go out and lie on the grass
And think about some pussy
Or some good ol rock n roll, alright!
Build me a woman
Make her ten feet tall
Build me a woman
Make her ten feet tall
Dont make her ugly, baby
Dont make her small
Build me a woman ten feet tall
Build me a woman I can ball
All night long |
Curses, Invocations
Weird bate-headed mongrels
I keep expecting one of you to rise
Large buxom obese queen
Garden hogs and cunt veterans
Quaint cabbage saints
Shit hoarders and individualists
Drag strip officials
Tight lipped losers and
Lustful fuck salesman
My militant dandies
All strange orders of monsters
Hot on the trail of the woodvine
We welcome you to our procession
Here come the Comedians
Look at them smile
Watch them dance an Indian mile
Look at them gesture
How aplomb
So to gesture everyone
Words dissemble
Words be quick
Words resemble walking sticks
Plant them they will grow
Watch them waver so
Ill always be a word man
Better then a bird man |
for leather accrues
The miracle of the streets
The scents & smogs &
pollens of existence
Shiny blackness
so totally naked she was
Totally un-hung-up
We looked around
lights now on
Top see our fellow travellers
~~~
I am troubled
Immeasurably
By your eyes
I am struck
By the feather
of your soft
Reply
The sound of glass
Speaks quick
Disdain
And conceals
What your eyes fight
To explain
~~~
She looked so sad in sleep
Like a friendly hand
just out of reach
A candle stranded on
a beach
While the sun sinks low
an H-bomb in reverse
~~~
Everything human
is leaving
her face
Soon she will disappear
into the calm
vegetable
morass
Stay!
My Wild Love!
~~~
I get my best ideas when the
telephone rings & rings. It’s no fun
To feel like a fool-when your
baby’s gone. A new ax to my head:
Possession. I create my own sword
of Damascus. I’ve done nothing w/time.
A little tot prancing the boards playing
w/Revolution. When out there the
World awaits & abounds w/heavy gangs
of murderers & real madmen. Hanging
from windows as if to say: I’m bold-
do you love me? Just for tonight.
A One Night Stand. A dog howls & whines
at the glass sliding door (why can’t I
be in there?) A cat yowls. A car engine
revs & races against the grain- dry
rasping carbon protest. I put the book
down- & begin my own book.
Love for the fat girl.
When will SHE get here?
~~~
In the gloom
In the shady living room
where we lived & died
& laughed & cried
& the pride of our relationship
took hold that summer
What a trip
To hold your hand
& tell the cops
you’re not 16
no runaway
The wino left a little in
the old blue desert
bottle
Cattle skulls
the cliche of rats
who skim the trees
in search of fat
Hip children invade the grounds
& sleep in the wet grass
’til the dogs rush out
I’m going South! |
Curses, invocations
Weird bate-headed mongrels
I keep expecting one of you to rise
Large buxom obese queens

Ill always be a word man
Better than a bird man |
A military station in the desert.
Can we resolve the past -
Lurking jaws joints of time -
The base - to come of age in a dry place -
Holes and caves.
My friend drove an hour
Each day from the mountains.
The bus gives you a hard-on
With books in your lap.
Someone shot the bird
In the afternoon dance show.
They gave out free records
To the best couple.
Spades dance best, from the hip. |
Indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young childs fragile egg-shell mind
Blood in the streets
In the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs
And the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love
In the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of
Phantastic L.A
Blood screams her brain
As they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born
In the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of
Mysterious union
Blood on the rise
Its following me
Indian, Indian
What did you die for?
Indian says nothing at all
Gently they stir
Gently rise
The dead are new-born awakening
With ravaged limbs
And wet souls
Gently they sigh
In rapt funeral amazement
Who called these dead to dance?
Was it the young woman
Learning to play the Ghost Song
In her baby grand
Was it the wilderness children?
Was it the Ghost-God himself
Stuttering, cheering
Chatting blindly?
I called you up to
Annoint the earth
I called you to announce
Sadness falling like
Burned skin
I called you to wish you well
To glory in self like a new monster
And now I call on you to pray |
Lets swim to the moon
Uh-huh
Lets climb thru the tide
Penetrate the evenin that the city sleeps to hide
Lets swim out tonight, love
Its our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean
On our moonlight drive
Lets swim to the moon
Uh-huh
Lets climb thru the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds that lap against our side
Nothing left open
And no time to decide
Weve stepped into a river
On our moonlight drive
Lets swim to the moon
Lets climb thru the tide
You reach a hand to hold me
But I cant be your guide
Easy to love you as I watch you glide
Falling through wet forests
On our moonlight drive
Moonlight drive
Cmon, baby, gonna take a little ride
Goin down by the ocean side
Gonna get real close
Get real tight
Baby gonna drown tonight
Goin down, down, down |
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you, hey
Girl, we couldnt get much higher
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Mm, the time for hesitations through
Theres no time to wallow in the mire
Darling, we could only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Well, you know that it would be untrue
And you know that I would be a liar
If I was to go and tell you
Mama, we couldnt get much higher
Yeah, come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire, yeah
Try to set the night on fire, hey
Hey, come on, baby, light, light my fire, yeah
Come on, babe, light my fire
Dont you know its all right?
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire
Oh, light my fire, light my fire, light my fire, yeah, girl
Girl, you better light my fire, yeah
You better light, you better light, you better light my fire
And were gonna get much higher
Oh, come on, girl
You know I love you, girl
You know I need you, babe
Come on, light, light, light, light my fire
Light my fire
A-light my fire
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire
Light, light, light, light, light my, light my fire |
