August in the city 90 degrees
The streets are full of arms and legs
The audience is hangin' on the corner
Just waitin' for some bones to beg
The sniper and the moving target
I can't talk talk talk until my face turn blue
Hey girl, you, girl put that right here
This what I'll do to you

I was struck down by your angel face

I had a father
I had a brother
I had a husband and I had a lover
I had a son he filled me with wonder

But I was struck down by your angel face

Baby Is a Butterfly

There's a mansion on the moon
Honey we will be there soon
Into ships our dreams are tossed
Hold my hand and let's get lost

Baby Is a Butterfly

Tender as a peach
someone I would love to teach
Started as a joke
just a lazy little poke
Woke up one sweet day
and I could not run away
Ears will start to bleed
No I cannot take this speed

Comin' out of the window
Watchin' down from the wall
Billie listens to your heartbeat
Floatin' down the hall

You think my eyes are covered over
You think my heart has crawled away
Billie listens to your heartbeat

[Humming]

Anger he smiles
Towering in shiny metallic purple armour

Clean jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her firey green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Tell me what's wrong, with you
Tell me why I, never seem to make you happy
Though heaven knows I try
What does it take, to please you
Tell me just how, I can satisfy you baby
You're drivin' me wild

Break up to make up

Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Are flown, except you alone

Going to leave this brokedown palace
On my hand and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside

А если ты мне скажешь, что нельзя так, то я и так знаю
Но вот мы здесь и я отказываюсь уйти
Я не могу больше
Не заниматься с тобой любовью
Твоё прикосновение - это всё что мне нужно, чтобы этот день обрёл смысл

Я не могу сказать ''нет'',
Как я старалась

Cathedrals lyrics
Songwriters: Clifford, Jay;

In the shadows of tall buildings
Of fallen angels on the ceilings
Oily feathers in bronze and concrete
Faded colors, pieces left incomplete
The line moves slowly past the electric fence

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful
As you light your twenty-seventh cigarette
Oh, how long have you been sittin' in the darkness
You forget...

Oh, you know you're gettin' really hard to be with
And you're cryin' every time you turn around
And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up

Daddy-o, daddy-o when I close my eyes
There's a cyclone there and I want to rise
An electric train to a long lost world
To a land of a thousand dancing girls

Come to me, my daddy-o
Take me where I want to go
To the world I left behind

do you think about the days when we were in love
when a whispered word could send us both to heaven
now i press a kiss but i know it doesn’t move you
it’s time for me to let it go

dead letters with words that are no longer true
dead silence where your promise used to be
you don’t love me anymore but i’d rather be with you

The sun goes down too early
The wind goes down my back just like it owns me
I work my job I get my check
I'm tryin' not to let myself get lonely
I'm just dreamin' about the day that I can

Show you all the love I've got for you
I used to hear my heart cry out

Get up Jack, crack your head
Sweatin' whiskey in my bed
Ain't you heard a word I've said
Get up Jack
Get up Jack, read the news
See if you can tie your shoes
Find another friend to use
Get up Jack

The obliteration of your isolation
the complete explosion
of you fondest notion
This disintegration
is your elevation
It's a grand illusion, it's a grand illusion

You're crying,you're trying so hard now

I have been unfaithful
I have been untrue
How'd I find the road that
Brought me back to you?

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

They made you clean and shiny
They stuffed your pockets full of cash
They gave you ninety-nine servants
To carry out your trash
But your soul is showing
I can see right through
Hands off of things
That don't belong to you

You gotta help me baby, I cant do it all by myself (repeat 2x)
If you dont help me daddy
Gotta find somebody else
Put on your nightshirt baby, hand me my morning gown (repeat 2x)
Dont feel sleepy
I just feel like lyin down
Gotta help me baby, help me baby
Cant do it all by myself

All the ladies on the lake they start to dance
It's been a long time don't you wish you had the chance
What do you wish you were?
Do you wish you were the silence of the moon?
Nobody knows but maybe you will be soon

I used to think that the sidewalk was the way
Always waiting for my lucky day

I am a genius
I am a diamond
My Pretty tongue gives you freezer burn
I think above you
in three dimensions
Come in here, you can never return

(chorus)

Floating above you
beyound the naked eye
blue dreams about you
keep playing in my mind

Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was

Today and every day (repeat 4x)

I’m standin’ here in your closet
Unbuttonin’ all your clothes
I sleep in your bed tonight
But I never find you home
You’re givin’ me crooked answers
I’m crackin’ your little code

Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this

Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world

Let's keep it simple, just for fun
Don't speak of this to anyone
I've seen the way you look in my eyes
I know that you're ready to fly
I put my cards out on the table
You know I'm willing, I know you're able
Stars are out, the night is young
Little wild one

My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive

There's something inside
that's making me crazy
I'll try to keep it together

Good morn or evening friends
Here's your friendly announcer
I have serious news to pass on to every-body
What I'm about to say
Could mean the world's disaster
Could change your joy and laughter to tears and pain

It's that love's in need of love today

Crickets are chirpin' the water is high
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry
Window wide open African trees
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze
Not a word of goodbye not even a note
She gone with the man in the long black coat.

Somebody's seen him hangin' around

Early in the morning when I'm still in bed
I start thinking 'bout last night
My imagination gets the best of me
And I can feel the match burn twice
Baby have I told you that I love your way
Only once will never suffice
They say that love is always sweeter the second time around
And I can feel the match burn twice

Whatever happened to this
it was an island of bliss
in this ridiculous place
But now the river runs black
and I don't know the way back
I feel it going to waste

We are the mongrels

If God had a name what would it be
And would you call it to his face,
if you were faced with him,
and all his glory,
what would you ask if you had just one question?

and ya ya God is great
ya ya God is good

If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

PANAMA WON'T LET ME DOWN
IT WON'T LET ME DOWN
PANAMA WON'T LET ME DOWN
IT WON'T LET ME DOWN
BEFORE I'LL BE YOUR DOG SON
I'LL SEE YOU IN THE GROUND
PANAMA WON'T LET ME
LET ME DOWN

This may be our last good night together
We may never pass this way again.
Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over, or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday these may be all we remember of each other

Think I'm getting over him
The sap is risin' in the tree
The blood is runnin' in my heart
Brings desire back to me
I wonder who will the next fool be

There is a Spanish boy who also rides the A train
I want to tag him like a tiger

I'M JUST LOOKIN' FOR SOME
REAL LOVE
I'M JUST LOOKIN' FOR SOME
REAL LOVE
I'M TIRED AND I'M LOOKIN' FOR THE
REAL LOVE
REAL LOVE, REAL LOVE, REAL LOVE

Let me use your toothbrush
Have you got a clean shirt?
My panties in a wad
At the bottom of my purse
I walk into the street
The air's so cool
I'm wired and I'm tired
And I'm grinnin' like a fool

Call me home, call me home
Baby, when you comin' home?
I can't stand it so alone
Rodeo

They all say they're proud of you
Though you're still the boy I knew
What has fightin' done to you?

Written by Joan Osborne & Louie Perez
Can you see me rising since your disappearance safe to say
That I've regained myself
Sleeping like a baby still I wonder maybe
If we'll ever
Meet up somewhere else
I'm bouncing you a message
Off the night sky

There is safety in numbers
And people and things and in big wads
Of money and
Great big platinum rings
And no one will ever get near me again
There is safety in numbers,
In numbers my friend

I can't believe that after all this time
You keep slipping back across my mind
Did we maybe leave the love behind afraid of what we felt
Other loves I've had have come and gone
I don't know why, they just don't last too long
There are questions that go on and go
That time won't tell

Won’t care about the dance spin going round
Everybody doing it from grownups down

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
And he could see just fine

Dreamed about Ray Charles last night
And he could see just fine, you know
I asked him for a lullaby
He said, "Honey, I don't sing no more"

In the cool of the evening
When everything is getting kind of groovy
You call me up and ask me
Would I like to go with you and see a movie?

First I say no, I've got some plans for tonight
And then I stop and say all right
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you, you

Sit down on the corner just a little climb
When I make my money got to get my dime
Sit down with her baby wind is full of trash
She bold as the street light dark and sweet as hash
Way down in the hollow leavin' so soon
Oh St. Teresa higher than the moon
Reach down for the sweet stuff when she looks at me
I know any man sees you like I see

Flood tide below me
With the sun in my eyes
And I reach for the feeling
That the world is my prize

I'm crossing Brooklyn ferry
With the clouds to my west
And I know what I'm missing

I BEEN DRIVIN'UNPROTECTED STRIVIN'
OXYGEN DEPRIVIN' BUT I'M STILL SURVIVIN'
I GOT TO BE DANCIN' GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE IN
TRY TO TAKE A STANCE IN GET A LITTLE ROMANCE IN

CAUSE I'LL TAKE IT
ANY WAY THAT I CAN GET IT
AND I'LL GET IT

SHE COMES A-CLACKIN' IN HER HIGH HEELED SHOES
(OH OH OH)
THEY GOT THEIR BUCKETS SO SHE'S SERVIN' UP THE NEWS
(OH OH OH)
THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW YOU FINALLY EARNED YOUR PLACE
WHEN THERE AIN'T NO DIFFERENCE TWEEN THE MASK AND YOUR FACE

THAT WAS A LIE

"Till I Get It Right"

I'll just keep on falling in love
Til I get it right
Right now I'm like a wounded bird
Hungry for the skies
But if I try my wings
And try long enough

i can't believe that after all this time
you keep slipping back across my mind
did we maybe leave a love behind
afraid of what we felt

other loves i've had have come and gone
i don't know whay they just don't last too long
there are questions that go on and on

WELL THERE ONCE WAS A MAN CALLED BROADWAY JIM
HE HAD THE IDEA I WAS IN LOVE WITH HIM
HE CAME REAL CLOSE LOOKED INTO MY EYES
SAID I NEVER MET A MAN THAT I COULDN'T DESPISE
THEN HE CUT OFF MY TAIL WITH A CARVING KNIFE
GIVE ME TEN LONG YEARS OF TROUBLE AND STRIFE

WELL THE NICE YOUNG MEN FROM THE RODEO

Deep in my dark there is a light
When I have lost the will to fight
You give the blind a second sight
You keep me up all night

Sometimes the moon, sometimes the tide
We are the horse, we are the ride
We are the bird, we're taking flight

If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

If god had a name, what would it be?
And would you call it to his face
if you were faced with Him in all His glory?
What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, God is great.
Yeah, yeah, God is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Guess I had to find out the hard way
The things that I have come here to learn
Fire of this pleasure, it can warm me
But in the end it only burns
He could put me high on a pedestal
He could rob me of my shame
He could hold me down under water
Till I could not remember my own name

You used to bury me, way underground
I thought it had to be this way
But I've been watching you
And I get smarter every day
Take the voices from your mouth
I've got the key to this door
I've learned to work the new machines
I'm not afraid anymore

JUST A YOUNG GIRL TAKEN FROM HER HOME
NO YOU NEVER PAID HER NO MIND
NOW FAST FORWARD AND THE CHILD IS GROWN
YES SHE LAYS IT ALL ON THE LINE

GROWIN' STRONG JUST LIKE A TREE
(WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?)
COMIN' NOW TO SET YOU FREE

JUST LET ME LOOK INTO YOUR EYES AGAIN
YOU KNOW I'LL ALWAYS BE YOUR HOME
WE MAY BE DOWN BUT WE CAN RISE AGAIN
YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALONE
(NOW WE'RE HOME FREE)

WE COULD SEE THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD FROM HERE LOOKIN' PAST THE SORROW AND THE TEARS
LET ME TAKE YOU TO THAT BETTER PLACE

How will we stay on the sidewalk
When there is no gravity
Piece of paper floating upward
But no one stops to see
And you think that I'm the right one
'Cause I know just what to say
And you ask me to convince you
That you won't blow away

The way a whiskey tingles downward
The way a storm can boil a sea
The way the summer makes everybody younger
That is how you work on me!
The way your freight train rocks the coal cars
The way a river carves its bed
The way a hand fits inside a pocket
That is how you live in my head

Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey
Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey

Well, I found him in Pensacola
In a trailer in the sand
The man from the picture
Creased and yellow in my hand
Creased and yellow in my hand
