Loving the Alien
|
|
Watching them come and go The templars and the saracens They're traveling the holy land Opening telegrams Torture comes and torture goes Knights who'd give you anything They bear the cross of coeuf de leon Salvation for the mirror blind But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky Pray and the heathen lie will disappear Prayers they hide the saddest view (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien) And your prayers they break the sky in two (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien) You pray til the break of dawn (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien) And you'll believe you're loving the alien (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien) Thinking of a different time Palestine a modern problem Bounty and your wealth in land Terror in a best laid plan Watching them come and go Tomorrows and the yesterdays Christians and the unbelievers Hanging by the cross and nail But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky Pray and the heathen lie will disappear Prayers they hide the saddest view (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien) And your prayers they break the sky in two (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien) You pray til the break of dawn (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien) And you'll believe you're loving the alien (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien) |

Don't Look Down
|
|
They're making sorta crazy sounds Don't look down, no Don't know who else came to kneel On this empty battlefield But when I hear that crazy sound, I don't look down From Central Park to shanty town I always hear that crazy sound From New York to shanty town There's always something else Don't look down, no I went this morning to the cemetery To see old Rudy Valentino buried Lipstick traces on his name He never looked down 'Cause they were making crazy sounds From Central park to shanty town He always heard that crazy sound There's always something else Don't look down, no When I see you standing there I can't see the clothes you wear I just hear that crazy sound And I can't look down From Central Park to shanty town I've always heard that crazy sound From New York to shanty town There's always something else Don't look down, no Don't look down Don't look, don't look down No I won't be bored I won't be there Look at life it's no piece of cake When I hear that crazy sound I don't look down From Central Park to shanty town I always hear that crazy sound From New York to shanty town There's always something else Don't look down Don't look down, no Well, don't look, don't look down |

God Only Knows
|
|
If you should ever leave me My life would still go on believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me God only knows what I'd be without you I may not always love you But as long as there are stars above you You'll never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it God only knows what I'd be without you |

Tonight

I saw my baby She was turning blue I knew that soon Her young life was through And so I got down on my knees Down by her bed And these are the words To her I said Everything will be alright tonight Everything will be alright tonight No one moves No one talks No one thinks No one walks tonight Tonight Everyone will be alright tonight Everyone will be alright tonight No one moves No one talks No one thinks No one walks tonight Tonight I am gonna love you till the end I will love you till I reach the end I will love you till I die I will see you in the sky Tonight |

Neighborhood Threat

Down where your paint is cracking Look down you backstair buddy Somebody's living there and He don't really feel the weather And he don't share your pleasures No he don't share your pleasures Look at his eyes Did you see his crazy eyes You're so surprised he don't run to catch your ash Everybody always wants to kiss your trash Ah you can't help him Nobody can Now that he knows There's nothing to get Will you still place your bet On the neighborhood threat Somewhere a baby's bleeding Somewhere a mother's needing Outside a boy is lying But mostly he is crying And he just shouts in anger You'll find him interesting Look at his eyes Did you see his crazy eyes You're so surprised he doesn't build for you Everybody always wants to run with you Ah you can't help him Nobody can Now that he knows There's nothing to get Will you still place your bet On the neighborhood threat You're so surprised he don't run to catch your ash Everybody always wants to kiss your trash Ah you can't help him Nobody can Now that he knows There's nothing to get Will you still place your bet On the neighborhood threat On the neighborhood threat (a night in your face) Don't place your bets (a night in your place) On the neighborhood threat (will you still place your bets) Don't place your bets (when the neighbor comes) On the neighborhood threat (neighborhood threat) Don't place your bets On the neigborhood threat |

Blue Jean

Blue Jean, I just met me a girl named Blue Jean Blue Jean, she got a camouflaged face and no money Remember they always let you down when you need 'em Oh, Blue Jean, is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean She got a police bike She got a turned up nose Sometimes I feel like (Oh, the whole human race) Jazzin' for Blue Jean (Oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue) Blue Jean can send me (Oh, somebody send me) Somebody send me (Oh, somebody send me) One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter One day I'm gonna get that faculty together Remember that everybody has to wait in line Blue Jean, look out world you know I've got mine She got Latin roots She got everything |

Tumble and Twirl
|
|
I've seen the city I took the next flight For Borneo They say it's pretty I like the t-shirts In Borneo Some wear Bob Marley Others in Playboy Or Duvalier Make the last plane come Let me rise through the cloudy above With a book on Borneo Strangers come and go It's such a waste of time Problems far behind Another day But even in springtime It's a rich slice of life So send me a letter I\'ll reply with a broken spear That dusky mulatto In nylons and tattoos Hot juice in coke bottles We dance in the sand Well, they twirl and they tumble Yes, they twirl and they tumble Well, I'll twirl and I'll tumble I've been to Leon's He's got nine daughters And a stereo They say that Leon Watches from the tree tops In Borneo When the road is mud Everything stops with a thud That's the way it goes down yonder in Borneo Far beneath his mansion There's an open drain Sending all the sewage down the hill But when the general shows movies No one hesitates To sneak from the jungle They laugh and they mumble Enjoying the show And that dusky mulatto Hot juice in coke bottles In blue jeans and tattoos Well, they twirl and they tumble Yes, they twirl and they tumble Well, I'll twirl and I'll tumble I like the free world They say it's pretty This time of year They tumble and twirl They tumble and twirl I\'ll tumble and twirl They twirl and they tumble They twirl and they tumble I like the free world I like the free world They say it's pretty This time of year This time of year Tumble and tumble I like the free world |

I Keep Forgettin'
|
|
I keep forgetting you don't love me no more I keep forgetting that you told me that you Didn't want me around any more But these stupid old feet Just head for your street Like they've done so many times before And this stubborn old fist On the end of my wrist Keeps a knocking on your front door I keep forgetting you don't love me no more I keep forgetting bout those heartbreaking nights And those heartbreaking things That you said Though I know in my heart We're drifting apart I can't believe that our love is dead Though it's plain as can be That you're finished with me I just can't get it through my head I keep forgetting you don't love me no more Though I know in my heart We're drifting apart I can't believe that our love is dead Though it's plain as can be That you're finished with me I just can't get it through my head I keep forgetting you don't love me no more |

Something's going on in society (Dancing with the big boys) You chew your fingers and stare at the floor (Dancing with the big boys) One wrong word and you're out of sync Talking bout a hands on policy (Big boys) Death to the trees (Dancing with the big boys) They weren't bad, they weren't brave Nothing is embarrassing (Dancing with the big boys) There are too many people, too much belief (Dancing with the big boys) Where there's trouble there's poetry (Dancing with the big boys) Your family is a football team (Big boys) This dot marks your location (Dancing with the big boys) Loneliness in a free society (Dancing with the big boys) (Big boys) This can be embarrassing (Big boys) Dancing with the big boys (Dancing with the big boys) (Big boys) (Big boys) |
