Tell All the People
|

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 don't have to run We're gonna pick up everyone Come on, take me by the hand Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand, Oh yeah Can't you see the wonder at your feet Your life's complete Follow me down Can't 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 It's just me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see We'll be free Follow me down Tell all the people that you see It's just me Follow me down Tell all the people that you see Follow me Follow me down Follow me down You got to follow me down Follow me down Tell all the people that you see We'll be free Follow me down |

Touch Me

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now Touch me, babe Can't you see that I am not afraid? What was that promise that you made? Why won't you tell me what she said? What was that promise that she made? Now, I'm gonna love you Till the heavens stop the rain I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky For you and I C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now Now touch me, baby Can't you see that I am not afraid? What was that promise that you made? Why won't you tell me what she said? What was that promise that she made? I'm gonna love you Till the heavens stop the rain I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky for you And I, I'm gonna love you Till the heavens stop the rain I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky For you and I |

Shaman's Blues

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 a little try? Please stop and you'll remember We were together Anyway All right! Now, if you have a certain evening You could lend to me I'd give it all right back to you Know how it has to be, with you I know your moods And your mind And your mind And your mind And your mind And your mind Will you stop and think and wonder? Just what you'll see Out on the train-yard Nursing penitentiary It's gone I cry out long Go head, brother Did you stop to consider How it will feel, Cold grinding grizzly bear jaws Hot on your heels Do you often stop and whisper It's Saturday's shore The whole world's a savior, Who could ever ever ever ever, ever, ever Ask for more? Do you remember? Will you stop? Will you stop, the pain? 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, a little try? Please stop and you'll remember We were together Anyway All right How you must think and wonder How I must feel Out on the meadows While you're on the field I'm alone for you And I cry "He's sweatin', look at him... optical promise... you'll be dead and in hell before I'm born... sure thing... bridesmaid... the only solution... Isn't it amazing?" |

Easy Ride
|
|
And I know It will be An easy ride, all right And I know It will be An easy ride, okay The mask that you wore My fingers would explore The costume of control Excitement soon unfolds And I know It will be An easy ride, yeah Joy, fought vaguely With your pride With your pride Like polished stone Like polished stone I see your eyes Like burnin' glass Like burnin' glass I hear you smile, Smile, babe The mask that you wore My fingers would explore The costume of control Excitement soon unfolds Easy, baby Coda queen - be my bride Rage in darkness by my side Seize the summer in your pride Take the winter in your stride Let's ride Easy, easy... All right |

Wild Child
|
|
All right Wild child full of grace Savior of the human race Your cool face Natural child, terrible child Not your mother's or your father's child Your our child, screamin' wild (An ancient lunatic reigns in the trees of the night) With hunger at her heels And 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 You remember when we were in Africa? |

Runnin' Blue
|
|
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 Back down, turn around slowly Try it again, remembering when It was easy, try it again Much to easy, remembering when All right, look at my shoes Not quite the walkin' blues Don't fight, too much to lose Can't fight the runnin' blues Well, I've got the runnin' blues Runnin' away, back to L.A. Got to find the dock on the bay Maybe find it back in L.A. Runnin' scared Runnin' blue Goin' so fast What'll I do Well, I've got the runnin' blues Runnin' away, back to L.A. Got to find the dock on the bay Maybe find it back in L.A. All right, look at my shoes Not quite the walkin' blues Don't fight, too much to lose Can't fight the runnin' blues All right, look at my shoes Not quite the walkin' blues Don't fight, too much to lose Can't fight the runnin' blues |

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 Can't escape the blue 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 Can't escape the blue Love to hear the wind cry Love to hear you cry, yeah, yeah |

The Soft Parade
|
|
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 can't make it anymore The Man is at the door Peppermint miniskirts, chocolate candy Champion sax and a girl named Sandy There's only four ways to get unraveled One is to sleep and the other is travel 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 Leather riders selling news (The monk bought lunch) 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) 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 Deer woman in a silk dress Girls with beads about 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 it's 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 Calling on the dogs Calling on the dogs Calling on the dogs Calling on the dogs Calling in the dogs Calling all the dogs Calling on the gods Meet me at the crossroads Meet me at the edge of town Outskirts of the city Just you and I And the evening sky You'd better come alone You'd better bring your gun We're gonna have some fun When all else fails We can whip the horses' eyes And make them sleep And cry... |
