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 blew 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 be like the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
and nobody ever came...

don't be like the one who made me so old
don't be like the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
and nobody ever came...

don't be like the one who made me so old
don't be like the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
nobody ever came
nobody ever...

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
with 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
asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

ah do you meet the one I love
and smell the one who loves you
dream brother, dream brother, dream, dream
 dream asleep in the sand with the ocean washing 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
yo 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 oh
will I ever see your sweet return,
 oh, 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 slept 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 just too young to keep good love
from going wrong 
oh... lover you should've come over...
 'cause it's not too late...

I feel too young to hold on 

 I'm much too old to break free and run
 too deaf, dumb, and blind
  to see the damage I've done
 sweet lover, you should've come over
 oh, love I'm waiting [I waited] for you
 lover, you should've come over
 cause it's not too late

I'm lying in my bed
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
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 and 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

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

love, let me sleep tonight on you couch
and remember the smell of the fabric of your simple city dress 
oh... That was so real 
we walked around 'til the moon got full like a plate
the wind blew an invocation 
and I fell asleep at the gate... And I never stepped
 - on - the - cracks - 'cause  - I - thought - I'd - hurt - my - mother 
...and I couldn't awake from the nightmare 
    that sucked me in and pulled me under pulled me under
 
oh... that was so real
 
I love you
but I'm afraid to love you

I love you
but I'm afraid to love you...

last goodbye
(J. Buckley) 

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
baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all.
 
kiss me, please, kiss me
but kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation 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."
 
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 memory 
of her sighs that, "it's over... it's over..."

eternal life
(J. Buckley)

there's no time for hatred, only questions
what is love, where happiness, what is life, where is peace?
when will I find the strength to bring me release?
eternal life is now on my trail
got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
while all these ugly gentleman play out their foolish games
there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
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 want to do is love everyone...
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
there's no time for hatred, only questions
what is love, where happiness, what is life, where is peace?
when will I find the strength to bring me release?
wnd 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
and I've got a message for you and your twisted hell
you better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal, angel...

I'm gonna kick 'em out

well I feel pretty good
and I guess that I could get crazy now, baby
'cause we all got in tune
when the dressing room got hazy now, baby

I know how you want it, child,
hot, sweet, and tight
the girls can't stand it
when you're doing it right
when they're up on the stand
and then they kick out the jams, yes
kick out the jams, I like to kick 'em out

yes I'm startin' to sweat
you know my shirt's all wet
what a feelin'
and the sound that abounds and
resounds and rebounds off the ceiling
you gotta have it, baby
you can't do without
when you get the feelin'
you've got the sounds above
put that mic in my hand
and let me kick out the jams
yes, kick out the jams, got to kick 'em out

so you got to get it up
and then can't get enough
that's what ....
'cause it gets in your brain
it drives you insane, makes you crazy
the ...... the faster you funk
if you wanna feed my rocket
till the morning comes
let me be who I am
and let me kick out the jams
yes kick out the jams
I done kick 'em out

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 that I ought to drink
because I 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 she 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 she, or am I just going crazy, dear? 
lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...

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 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

shit's happeningnow...

it's all about now...

now now now

bigger 

faster 

sweatier

skinnier

whiter

blacker

gracer..

there's the moon asking to stay
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...

I first saw you
you had on blue jeans
your eyes couldn't hide
 anything
I saw you breathing, oh

I saw you staring out in space

I next saw you
you were at the party
thought you was a queen
oh so flirty

I came against...

didn't say excuse
knew what i was doing
we looked very fine
 as we were leaving
 as we were making
 what we were making

oh...

saint Joan
 doing a cool jerk
oh I want you
 like a kangaroo, oh...
yes, yes, yes, yes, oh oh...

I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
but you don't really care for music, do you? 
well it goes like this:
the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah
 
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah...
 
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
 
baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
 
there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do ya
but remember when I moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah
 
well, maybe there's a God above
but all I've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
 
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah...
