Praise be to Nero's Neptune;
The Titanic sails at dawn;
And everybody's shouting;
Which Side Are You On?
In the day of confession;
We cannot mock a soul.;
Oh, when there's too much of nothing,;
No one has control.
If I had wings and I could fly,;
I know where I would go.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past;
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
And I, I don't mind the pain;
Don't mind the driving rain;
I know I will sustain;
'Cause I believe in you.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm
The treasure can't be found by men who search
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath;
But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
She's a hypnotist collector
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around;
Some on their way up, some on their way down
I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know
Now at midnight all the agents;
And the superhuman crew;
Come out and round up everyone;
That knows more than they do
Here is your throat back;
Thanks for the loan
The vagabond who's rapping at your door;
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
The pump don't work;
'Cause the vandals took the handles
I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
He bought me with a price,;
Freed me from the pit,;
Full of emptiness and wrath;
And the fire that burns in it.
