Wanted by the minister
Wanted by the dean
Wanted by the old folks
Wanted by the teens
Wanted by the dealers
Wanted by the fiends
Wanted by the girls in them tight, tight jeans
And wanted by the lawyers

Look look what you've done
Not to become your Father's Son
Before that day, day, day is done
You'll get your day, day, day in the sun

In this time we've got here
Between heaven and hell
You'd prefer a motor craft

Moved to the city to settle a vendetta
Ran from a stellar to the hands of Isabella
Was a good earner, got a little butter
Moved to Calcutta, got rich by the summer
Learned that an eye for an eye made the whole world blind
City by city, they built sin city
Mr. Benjamin must have got or needs a schilling
'Cuz he'd rather not walk in the gobs from the prison

She's weighin' on my mind and it won't let up
I couldn't get enough of her
She's out on the town and she's all dressed up
I couldn't get enough of her
She walked into the room and the place lit up
I couldn't get enough of her
Distance is lifting me up
I couldn't get enough of her love

Everybody knows when he's coming to town
They're locking the doors
And they don't make a sound
People want him dead but he won't die yet
First he's got to live
With the things that he did
People want him leaving
But he isn't leaving soon

Before the laws and the social orders
Before the cause of the lieutenant's orders
Before the rise of pop culture
Before the guards at the borders
Before the expectation led to life's frustrations
Before the path to salvation was cloudy by the deep depths of temptation

[Chorus]

Been stuck in the middle of a

Vendetta between

Me and myself

I sure could use a witness

On the highway
On the freeway
In the airport
In the airplane
In the airtrain

In Brooklyn U.S.A.
To a Tinsel Town

Mr.Dali Lamas
Another sister's shootin' heroin tomorrow
Amputees in Freetown
Sierra Leone's
The church wasn't honest
The state put the youth in a harness
Creatin' hostility among us
Teacher said no college

I been sinning
And I been livin'
And I been beaten
By Saturdays

On a diamond
I lay on a diamond
On a diamond

I was at DFW
I had to call you
I had to say goodbye to my baby today
Remindin’ me of the days abow
That I stepped foot at that false base
But boo, you a star
You always are
You are so full of grace

I watched the country move slow
I watched a city for a dollar get sold
I watched a bella take off her clothes
I watched the miles from the car window

Every waking moment i'm alive
I'm searching for you
Whether i know it or not

Got the law man
The con man
The liquor store man
Got the man at the premiere to "Spider-Man"
Got the old man calling on the young man
Got the soul man
Trying to keep a hold man
I seen the stars lookin in her eyes

Move to the city, to settle a vendetta
Prying from my stellar to the hands of Isabella.
Was a good earner, got a little butter
Moved to Calcutta got rich by the Summer
Learned an eye for an eye made the whole world blind
City by city, they built Sin City
Mr. Benjamin, Mr. Gotti needs a shilling
Cuz he'd rather not walk and the guards from the prison

I will never forget your healing hands my love
I thought my heart had stopped
I swore I had given up
I will never forget your healing hands my love
You gave me daylight you gave me sunlight

Turn the tape recorder on
He just left Jackie O for Marilyn Monroe

I have been waiting you for so long
I have been waiting you for so long (so long)

I been down
I been down a different road
I been out
I have been out of control

In a couple of hours
The morning is coming
And I'm hittin' the door runnin,
The gasoline is burning
And I couldn't explain why

The message that I have been given

Bobbi pins are in her hair
The slip is huggin's her rear
I'm starin' at her life's real clear
Washing her face in the mirror

That's how I like to remember
The saints and the sinners
Nobody could deter her

(La la la) (La la la) (La la la) Without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Without you I'd be all alone

(La la la) Without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone

(La la la) Without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone

Keep askin'
How long will my love it last
Always
Keep askin'
How long will my days they pass
Always
Keep asking me my love
Keep asking help from above

When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself
When you're so dead wrong
Let alone no one else

Well the children still dying in the streets
The babies still living with disease
The cops got guns, the poor folks got sons
Who work for Mr. Franklin every week

There's this lady around my way
Who sees me like every other day
Who swears and screams a name
She says "Randy where you been?
I remember you were my best friend
Me and you was in it till the end
You was like a son to me back then
You were the son that I never had

There's this lady around my way
Who sees me like every other day
Who swears and screams a name
She says "Randy where you been?
I remember you were my best friend
Me and you was in it till the end
You was like a son to me back then
You were the son that I never had

Congratulations on the mess you made of things;
On trying to reconstruct the air and all that brings.
And oxidation is the compromise you own
But this is beginning to feel like the dog wants her bones
saved

You force your fire then you falsify your deeds
Your methods dot the disconnect from all your creeds

The woman that I love
Is forty feet tall,
She's a movie star,
She's all in the papers
And everywhere I go
People hand me quarters
And they pat me on the back,
They treat me like I’m famous,

The woman that I love
Is forty feet tall
She's a movie star
She's all in the papers
And everywhere i go
People hand me quarters
And they pat me on the back
They treat me like im famous

Things have been getting real heavy these days
The media the system
the people chasing pay
Somebody's got a rifle he won't turn the other cheek
Now its his turn

Things have been getting real hectic these days
An eye for an eye

Life's ride down the river
Everyday getting clearer
All the while getting nearer
We all belong

This place we've been delivered
Take the good with the bitter
Some may dismiss you

They'll tell you that life is short
That love truly endures
And I'll tell you to shine your light
On what truly touches your soul

In distant times on foreign lines
I never had nothing to lose
I'll take a travel plane

She won't give in,

She won't crack a smile or a grin.

But she sure is different.

It's written in red

The woman that I love
Is forty feet tall
She's a movie star
She's all in the papers
And everywhere i go
People hand me quarters
And they pat me on the back
They treat me like im famous

I come from a place
Run by a man named Mr. Paige
He took everything and he wanted more
A gun and a knife and he'd use the law

He'd smack you in the head in public
He'd kick you down and he'd think nothing of it
Keep your head down, swallow your pride

Well I'm waiting on the day
When the people walk free to see
When the penitentiary is on fire
When there's no need
To bleed
For your mother or your brother
Or the one that bomes before you whoa
Well I'm waiting on a time when people walk free to see

Farewell fairytale end
Look who's dancing
With them demos again
Dolly got a body
That will make you
Want to stop
Use to have a talent
Now a victim of the block

Say Judas came up to D.C.
He'd been down in Georgia for a while
He drove a 944
He bought with the soul
Of a blonde-headed kid
With a left-handed guitar
Now he's lookin' for me
Citizen C-O-P-E

You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French or in English
Cause, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you

They say that loving yourself
Is loving someone else
It’s like you've always been right there
When I needed you

Standing in the night
Trying to get it right
Coz this here life will test you

Rollin' down the highway like a rocket
Headed to town now can't stop it
with the wheels in my hand as I stand on the floor
Of the board of this car on the road
Got this woman in the back seat, she's my wifey
In the middle of the delivery
Man she saves me to this day I don't know why
She picked me up when i was down on the road with the wind when it blowed

Rollin' down the highway
Like a rocket
God, I'm headed to town now
You can't stop it
Got wheel in my hand
As I stand
On the floor
Of the board

From the hot to cold, spring to the fall
You and I was meant to be together in love
Something ‘bout a wound down in my soul
Something on my mind easy be told

3 steps, 3 steps behind these 2 hands
These 2 hands of mine
You’ve got that 1 thing that can make a man blind

yea yea yea
Rollin' down the highway
Like a rocket
God I'm headed to town now
Can't stop it
With the wheels in my hand
As I stand
On the floor of the board of this car on the road

I missed out on
all of your tears
and I disappeared
I thought I could get across
I got took by the pull
of niagara falls

I was just dead wrong

They'll take you down to the river
They'll lay you down by the river
They'll shoot you down by the river
Leave you to drown by the river

They'll say it's love when its not
They'll send you to war and you'll
Return in a pine box

You know it ain't easy

For these thoughts here to leave me

There's no words to describe it

In French or in English
