the girl
03:24
|

it may never happen
for i'll run away from thee
panicked by the touch
of your possibility
living on the moon
so far away from me
we'll close our eyes and dream
all i ever wanted was the girl
all i ever wanted was the girl
all i ever wanted was the girl
all i ever wanted was a girl
she took my hand
on the highway headed south
where everybody's eating chicken .. all the time
and we're pulling up
to the end of chasing everything
and i'm convinced
that she'll be mine
all i ever wanted was the girl
[ repeat ]
heaven knows she's gonna run to me
through the urgency of time
one more faithful cat
and another set of wheels
before i pass
and close on the biggest deal
and she'll be waiting
uh oh so patiently
the skyline fades in the wind
all i ever wanted was the girl
[ repeat ]
heaven knows she's gonna run to me
through the urgency of time
all i ever wanted was the girl
all i ever wanted was the girl
all i ever wanted was the girl
all i ever wanted was a girl

reason for dreaming
04:04
|
|||
when you come around
you'll find that i've been waiting
there's been footprints and creeping
at the door
when ya come around you'll find that i've been patient
your the reason ... for what dreaming's for
well i'm waiting on a chance
to be loving you
well i'm waiting on the words
to make you laugh
i want a world, i want a world
with no caged animals
clean and white ..... far from the past
ya say i was lost
cause i took myself down
but i was only practical
to stop the fooling around
you comb your hair over and over
with your face down
above your breasts
is it love or torment
that strokes you
for you sit so calm
with your own reflection
the mirror don't talk
but, i would be saying
hey lazy lady
there's no use in waiting
slay me now
send me begging
into the cold cold world
regurgitating
any chance of hope
forever fading
into the mystical ...... and all that we can be
the speed of darkness is upon you
like a snake, a spider whispers in your ear
the purgatory of cool restrains the gentle beast
welcome, turn the knob ..... please enter
ya say i was lost
cause i took myself down
but it was only practical
to stop the fooling around
i never thought i could be so honest
i never thought you'd take it like a man
if thou art the tempest i'll surrender
your the reason for what dreaming's for
[ repeat ]

hearts a wasteland
03:03
|
|||
you fear to think you are not free
do you not know the heart of me
sweet love just roam as you will there
and find your source and drink your share
Cause the hearts a wasteland
the hearts a wasteland
so somber it had been my heart
until your presence made it start
tremulous part that would recind
our friendship it would keep you in
and the hearts a wasteland
the hearts a wasteland
and the hearts a wasteland dearest one
when you are not free to from it run
but it beckons you, come of your will
this place is yours when sorrow's still
the hearts a wasteland
the hearts a wasteland

the trees

the trees
piece by piece , get lost in garbage
suburban stroll through the land of oz
gone through streams covered mountains
conquered wind and silent night
get it right
ya better save me now
you better save me now
to hear
the distant sound of a t.v. face
selling hot tomorrows in a better place
beer cans float on a cloud of young
minds full tilt running for a loaded gun
you better save me now
ya better same me now
i don't know what train is coming in
or did i loose my car
ya better save me know
ya better same me know
not just yet
there is goes again
on the radio
ya better save me now
ya better same me now
oooh ooooooo [ repeat ]
i don't know what train is coming in
[ etc ]
to hear
the trees
lovers talking on a sea of waste
shopping upright uptight
my mind gets to thinking about the
possibility of you
ya want to do it with me
out here
come along an lets sit
on the fringe of the bullshit
and eat some air
watch the rain
smell the ocean
take my pain ...... take my pain
but , its gone
ya better save me now
ya better save me now
eat the rain
eat the rain
[ repeat ]

the meadow
07:56
|
|||
take me to the shallow selfish meadow
through my shadow you will move
don't desert me
keep me safely in this moment
i'm holding on
i'm holding on
to your whisper
i will follow
alone to listen ... listen now
i wish to hear you ..... be near you
i'm holding on
i'm holding on
i missed you coming home
softly through the night
in my slumber .... you where near me
1st verse
I'm coming home
holding on .........
why .......... ?

i want you
03:38
|

i want you
i want the world to hide
behind the
behind the other side
a smile so sweet and tragic
strong arms of ocean blue
i want you
i want the world to hide .................
i want you
i want to understand ... where love goes
on such a barren land
lost childhood under pavement
lost future flying by
i want you
i want the world to hide
and now the time has come for
ya know, summers gone
picking up all the pieces
winter is here to stay
i want you
i want the pain to end
beside my only friend
one kiss away from madness
one final sleepless night
i want you
i want the world to hide

boardwalk windy shore
03:33
|
|||
well, the time has come
i'm cooked and done
had it up to here
i done my best
i passed the test
affirmations in my beer
i payed my bills
took my pills
learned how to compromise
ya know i love you honey
but were running out of money
and headed for our demise
chorus:
but i don't squawk no more
i don't talk no more
i chew gum like little girls skipping
down a boardwalk
down a boardwalk windy shore
the land is sinking
got me to thinking
mabe i should get out of here
the town board a hooting
they passed a resolution
constituency have no fear
part A means B
and C means D
under sub-section 22
so fall in line
it's voting time
democratic whoopee doo
chorus
i'm a gentleman caller
six feet taller
than all my menagerie
do you surmise, a word to the wise
my mouth don't get along with me
don't you break them
pawn or shake them
there's no other place i'd rather be
so blow me a bubble
and keep me out of trouble
windy
it's getting dark
it's getting windy
humanity lives everywhere
vagabonds will rent and stare
suburban ghetto people fret
for in this middle class we met
doomed to systematic crunch
no percent, just a bunch
of ripe bananas - monkey do
authority will stifle you
chorus
abundance is my ball and chain
a storage locker with my name
never gonna get enough
scarcity
scarcity
illusion is my saving grace
indifference helps me keep the pace
i rubberneck reality
with my spiritual pornography
chorus
it's getting dark
it's getting windy
it's getting windy
windy

clouds get old
04:19

|

i been told .. that the clouds get old
the longer you look at them
and love's a word .. sounds absurd
when you hear them say
that their loving me, their loving you
and their loving their country too
[ repeat ]
that's a whole lot of love ... going round
when a whole lot of love can't be found
and that's a whole lot of love that their feeling
on t.v.
and love don't matter ... if it's real
buddha smiles, jesus dies
and allah cries
and i pretend ... oh ....... my eyes
desperate it seems
that all these hopes and all these dreams
bring me back to you
and that's a whole lot of love going round
when a whole lot of love can't be found
and that's a whole lot of love that their feeling
on t.v.
ya know, i believe in the home of the free
is it up to him, or is it up to me
divide conquer of sell
is all this money
about all this hell ..........
so i'll just pray
one more day
1st verse
shake my hand
look me right
i'll always trust in you
i'll always trust in you
i'll always trust in you

simple days
simple rhymes
simple things
these simple times
got simple dreams
though the reaper's coming
and hell hounds it seems
though the reaper's coming
and hell hounds it seems
cause baby, we got it
it ain't in our heads this time
i'll be your man
you be mine
i'm gonna find my way
your gonna stay
i'm going to find my way
find my way
find my way
