For once in my life I am feeding the bear Press on your elbow Staring me down For once in my life I am still in the heat Wires on the table Facing the dawn For once in my life I am watching her laugh Testing your patience Breaking your arms For once in my life I am flat in the bed Looking right at you But then you are gone You’re singing Love, listen Hold no mercy alive Listen Hold singing Drown, listen You’re running out Screaming You’re singing Love, listen Hold no mercy alive Listen Hold singing Drown, listen You’re running out Screaming You’re singing Love, listen Hold no mercy alive Listen Hold singing Drown, listen You’re running out Screaming

Soft and dreamy, waiting in the twilight Golden echoes, melting into moonlight Silver faces, laughing through the doorway Endless voices, calling from the highway Spinning slowly, drifting past the towers Velvet rivers, whispering in flowers Painted windows, glowing in the distance Soft illusions, dancing with persistence Oogachacka Oogachacka Oogachacka Ooga Ooga Oogachacka Oogachacka Oogachacka Oogachacka Oogachacka Ooga Ooga Oogachacka Oogachacka Oogachacka Oogachacka Oogachacka Ooga Ooga Oogachacka Oogachacka Oogachacka Oogachacka Oogachacka Ooga Ooga Oogachacka Oogachacka Golden spiral, turning through the ages Silent poets, dreaming of the pages Crimson lanterns, flicker in the distance Shifting patterns, lost in their existence

You’re living off your own narrations Getting tired of all the allegations Broke Swimming around Tearing me down Right in my town Feeding off your expectations Crash and burn with your fabrications Broke Bringing me down Hanging around Wasting my time Broke Bringing me down Hanging around Wasting my time Tapped out in your simulation Cheap highs, no real sensation Broke Strung on a line Crossing the signs Wasting my prime Broke Strung on a line Crossing the signs Wasting my prime

I dream away To the face behind the sun Through the veiled green temples Where the long roads run I gaze at Saturn Threefold crown of light Orbiting my silence In the thick of night The air turns silver As the night takes hold I follow signs and symbols Drawn in threads of gold She passed me by Near the traffic light Hair tied loose Looking left, not right There was no word No story to recall Just the way she moved Like I saw a ghost She disappeared In the weekday noise I missed my turn Didn’t mind the choice

(Knocker Jungle) I don’t know why I love you, but I do I don’t know why but I do I don’t know why but I do I don’t know why I love you, but I do I don’t know why but I do I don’t know why but I do I’m leaving on the next train by New York Can’t take no more, I’ve had my fill No more tears will I spill Get tired of all these hangups Worries and strain all brings a lot I’m in no more pain, you’ll never see me again I don’t know why I love you, but I do I don’t know why but I do I don’t know why but I do I don’t know why I love you, but I do I don’t know why but I do I don’t know why but I do By the true scene in New York You’re gone, girl, I won’t know my mind Maybe find someone kind now my past is behind I don’t know why I love you, but I do I don’t know why but I do I don’t know why but I do I don’t know why I love you, but I do I don’t know why but I do I don’t know why but I do

The bell in the tower swings without reason Rings for no hour, no man, no season The bishop looks up with a hand to his brow But no one’s been pulling the rope until now The milk in the chalice turns black as the sea The jester stops laughing and drops to one knee A widow in scarlet walks into the square But nobody knows if she’s truly still there A horse with no rider trots into the gate Hooves on the stones drum a warning of fate The watchman takes off his boots by the fire But hears them still walking, higher and higher The bell keeps on ringing, the moon doesn’t rise The saints in their paintings all open their eyes A page in the scripture curls up into flame And somewhere, someone is calling my name

The day is over The day is over The day is over The day is over The day is over Again You said you’re coming But then you didn’t I’m still waiting You never came The day is over Again Out in the ocean I can’t really see What’s Coming My Way Out in the ocean I can’t really see What’s Coming My Way

The wind repeats its endless phrase A mirror cracks, it hides your face The sky melts to a yellow sea The clouds drip slow, they bury me You see through an empty space Don’t know it’s inside your face The clock is slow, it casts a spell You take a ride, it ends in hell A quiet storm brews inside your eyes The kind that shifts but never dies You walk the line, you can’t rebel You light a match, its tiny cell Like a chicken with no eggs to lay Like a soldier who will not obey When the rules of the world fade away The same rules we face every day The moon looks down, it starts to yell Its silver gaze burns cold in hell You search for signs, a wishing well

Close your eyes and feel the sand Pass it over into your other hand It’s rough, but smooth, a Cadillac You fiddle with the stars tonight When you said, “I’m such a tool” And then you acted like a ghost City lights are smeared with pain Every sign whispers your name You chew the gum, you spit it out But still, you’re wondering what it’s all about You bought the ticket, rode the train Thinking speed would drown the pain Close your eyes and feel the sand Let it slip into your other hand Good song sing tonight And fly up high like a Cadillac flies You light a match, it burns too fast, Won’t even light your cigarette The coin spins, it never lands You pocket doubts with shaking hands The rain smells sweet, then turns to ash You chase a thought, it fades too fast Walking through an empty street The ground falls under your feet Good song sing tonight And fly up high like a Cadillac flies

She was here in the morning, a shadow in the haze I was tracing her footsteps through a hundred yesterdays From the cracks in the pavement to the bend in the stream She was real for a moment, like a half-finished dream She was leaving in Paris, I was stuck in Marseille Letters lost in the ether, what’s a soul gonna say? All the clocks kept on turning, but the time wouldn’t fit She was waiting in silence, I was drowning in it There’s a weight in the stillness, like the dust in a room Every light feels dishonest when it touches the gloom We were kings without kingdoms, maps burned at the edge She was golden at midnight, but the night wouldn’t pledge From the trains in Osaka to the lights of Berlin There’s a hum in the distance, but it’s buried within She’s a ghost in the moment, just a flicker and gone I’m still singing her echoes, though the words don’t belong

I was living in a house in old New Jersey Where the sun dips low into the sea Dreaming of Everest Chasing tales of a mountain child Born free I was living near the edge of Kentucky Watching sunlight filter through the trees Wandering by rivers Crowned as king of tides The endless sea Through a war zone cutting in Chicago Lost amidst the echoes of belief I was searching for mirrors Hoping for the sun, the breeze Oh Lord, have mercy

The best cure laid still in waiting A ferry with no passengers No one peering through the other eye It was great they said But what did they keep? Tales of shouting echoes of hell There was something in it, oh yeah Now you’re spinning in it, oh yeah Don’t you look about it, oh yeah There was something in it, oh yeah The war had landed And people evacuated To the rhythm of two motorcycles Outside the record store She freed herself from the weight of it The paint of war smeared across her memories She lived in a shack Never looking back She was looking at it, oh yeah Another thing and it, oh yeah I was living in it, oh yeah Back at Abbey, oh yeah There was something in it, oh yeah Now you’re spinning in it, oh yeah Don’t you look about it, oh yeah There was something in it, oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah

(Arthur Lee) People try to tell me What they think is right I don’t listen to them I don’t know day from night I go through life searchin’ Tryin’ to find the one I go slip slip You go slip slip away And I don’t need you To help me find the way I can make it If I just don’t see your face Once I had a problem I didn’t know what to do Now I’ve got no problem All I’ve got is you Well, I guess I’ll keep on searchin’ Tryin’ to find the one I go slip slip You go slip slip away And I don’t need you To help me find the way I can make it If I just don’t see your face Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh

The room caught fire, so everyone started paying attention We all knew something was happening, and it was coming for me You looked at me with a grin, I didn’t know what to do or think But other than that, I was happy And then my soul was set on fire, and all my friends were either high or tired Looking back at the chief, he wasn’t happy She looked at me, and I looked at her, and we both knew there was something there But all we could really think of were our little children Bring me back Bring me back Bring my soul covered in black Bring me back Bring me back From outer darkness Bring me back Bring me back Bring my soul covered in black Bring me back Bring me back From outer darkness Bring me back Bring me back Bring my soul covered in black Bring me back Bring me back From outer darkness Bring me back Bring me back Bring my soul covered in black

The day is over The dragon flies Take me home Suzzie eyes You live in a melody Somewhere in the ’70s Your love makes me feel good We’re back in Hollywood Looking forward to specialize In the eyes of Suzzie eyes She’s really pretty She never cries A love that never dies With you, I feel so nice And the days go by fast You’re seventeen I’m thirty in my dreams Oh, what a dream Looking forward to specialize In the eyes of Suzzie eyes You live in a melody Somewhere in the ’70s You’re seventeen I’m thirty in my dreams Oh, what a dream

I was back from the other place Looking where to go When you asked me “What’s your name?” I just said “Hello” There’s nothing here Nothing here There’s nothing here I was walking down the street Looking for some fun When someone came to me And said “I’m on the run” He said it So fast I waved at him I was back from another place Looking where to go Then you asked me “What’s your name?” I just said “Hello” There’s nothing here Nothing here There’s nothing here.

This is the place, this is the hour For a world peace, listen to me People gathering down yonder By the river bank They’re having fun, but I can’t feel much It seems too easy, and it brings me down Come reach your hand, I’ve got you, brother About nine miles yonder No one but I have got the answer For a world peace, listen to me They’re having fun, but I can’t feel much It seems too easy, and it brings me down

I loved her, yeah, for the sake of love I loved her, yeah, for the sake of a dance I loved her, yeah, for the sake of a day I loved her, yeah, for the sake of a trance I loved her, yeah, for the sake of a rose I loved her, yeah, for the sake of my brain I loved her, yeah, for the sake of a ghost I loved her, yeah, for the sake of my pain And this morning in me, it’s a mess The mess of a very bad grass The mess of a dizziness that will pass The mess of a heart that went under the bus She loved me, yeah, for the sake of her heart She loved me, yeah, for the sake of her cry She loved me, yeah, for the sake of time She loved me, yeah, for the sake of her eyes And this morning in me, it’s a mess The mess of a very bad grass The mess of a dizziness that will pass The mess of a heart that went under the bus

Riding on a horse to my baby Through cosmic waves to a celestial base Brought a dog to protect me Guide me back to my lady I was so stoned when you left me Feeling high, like I’m in the sea No one’s home, isolated Please come back to me, baby Lost in dreams, chasing shadows Moonlit whispers, secrets to unravel Under stars, a silent dance Yearning for the sweet romance Wandering through a neon city Electric pulse, heart beats gritty Lonely streets echo my plea Please come back to me, baby

I will dance in a room I will dance in a room All over town I’m dancing around You will look up to me You will look after me All over town, laughing and messing around You looked at me I looked at you while I danced in your room Dance in your room We’re fine Dancing around

(Paul Westerberg) Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there’s a party Here it’s never ending, can’t remember when it started Pass around the lampshade, there’ll be plenty enough room in jail If being alone’s a crime, I’m serving forever Being strong’s your kind, I need help here with this feather If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side At the swingin’ party down the line On the prairie pavement, losing proposition Quitting school and going to work and never going fishing Water all around, never learn how to swim now If being alone’s a crime, I’m serving forever Being strong’s your kind, then I need help here with this feather If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side At the swingin’ party down the line At the swingin’ party down the line Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there’s a party Here it’s never ending, can’t remember when it started Pass around the lampshade, there’ll be plenty of room in jail If being alone’s a crime, I’m serving forever Being strong is what you want, then I need help here with this feather If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side At the swingin’ party down the line At the swingin’ party down the line Catchin’ time At the swingin’ party down the line

Once in my life I’ve fallen in love But how, when you’re down There’s nothing you could own You’ve fallen in love You’ve fallen in love Along the way You think of a home You’re moving through time But you’re on your own You’ve fallen in love You’ve fallen in love When the nights grow long And the days feel slow You’re running away With nowhere to go You’re falling in love You’re falling in love You’re falling in love

That girl Golden shadows For her hair And all around her I sigh And I go Not much I show Tell me now Where you’ve been Did you go Without him? I had friends All my life But tonight I’m blind That girl Silver moonlight In her eyes She’s all about right I fade And I fall Not much At all Tell me why I can’t sleep Every thought Cuts too deep I had friends All my life But tonight I’m blind Tell me where Did you go? I just want To know I had friends All my life But tonight I’m blind.

For a million years Shining like a diamond Through the sweat and tears Of the average man In the hot season I was handed down A great story From another time Circles Circles Circles Circles And the silent chief He’s a friend of mine Living in peace With the changing times It was as hot as hell And I wanted to die When he came to me From the orange sky Circles Circles Circles Circles

I know it’s true that the other is gentle Nothing’s wrong with a truth that never withhold So let me say to you, I’ll be seeing you in September Leaving it all behind and coming home The surface of the sea, the eyes of the center The actors of life that never get old Here we go again, without the other He said he wasn’t real, but he missed what he didn’t know Let me say to you, I’ll be seeing you in December Putting on my shoes and settling down on my own The surface of the trees, the undiscovered I know it’s true, and I’m coming home The surface of the sea, the eyes of the center The actors of life that never get old I know it’s true, the undiscovered Putting on my shoes, I’m coming home

And we walked down the aisle As we passed through the fire And you said it’s now or never You said it’s now or never And then I looked at your mother Who was always deep in trouble In the shades of the night Holding up a candle And we walked down the aisle As we passed through the fire And you said it’s now or never Yes, you said it’s now or never

(Michael Brown) I had a date with a pretty ballerina Her hair so brilliant that it hurtin’ my eyes I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me Was I surprised? Yeah Was I surprised? No, not at all I called her yesterday, it should have been tomorrow I could not keep this joy that was inside I beg for her to tell me if she really loved me Somewhere, a mountain is moving I’m afraid it’s moving without me I had a date with a pretty ballerina Her hair so brilliant that it hurtin’ my eyes I asked for this dance and then she obliged me Was I surprised? Yeah Was I surprised? No, not at all And when I wake on the dreary Sunday morning I open up my eyes to find there’s rain And something strange within says go ahead and find her Just close your eyes, yeah Just close your eyes and she’ll be there She’ll be there She’ll be there

Through the looking glass you’ll see Someone, but it isn’t me I know that we are not the same In Portobello’s bustling streets A tapestry of life repeats But for you, it feels like a fading dream My eyes are red Tell me what to do instead I’m dreamin’ Through the looking glass, you peer A reflection of what’s unclear A glimpse of a life you long to see Lost in shadows, chasing sun Hit me with a loaded gun Searching for a way to break free My eyes are red Tell me what to do instead I’m dreamin’

John says he doesn’t believe in God But then again, he just might I once saw him on the side of the road On a cold New Jersey night “John, what’s the time?” He said, “I don’t know, and I don’t mind.” I said, “John, come home, don’t leave me alone, I need you now.” He said, “John this, John that, Bring it on home and throw it back. I don’t know where you’re going to, And anyway that’s not what I’m gonna do. Many ways to make me love you, All depends on the amount of coffee, All night long they party.” “John, what’s the time?” He said, “I don’t know, and I don’t mind.” I said, “John, come home, don’t leave me alone, I need you now.” Forever a saint Forever a saint Forever a saint

(Tim Hardin) Here I am back home again I’m here to rest All they ask is where I’ve been Knowing I’ve been West I’m the family’s unowned boy Golden curls of envied hair Pretty girls with faces fair See the shine in the Black Sheep Boy If you love me, let me live in peace Please understand That the black sheep can wear the golden fleece And hold a winning hand I’m the family’s unowned boy Golden curls of envied hair Pretty girls with faces fair See the shine in the Black Sheep Boy Here I am back home again I’m here to rest All they ask is where I’ve been Knowing I’ve been West I’m the family’s unowned boy Golden curls of envied hair Pretty girls with faces fair See the shine in the Black Sheep Boy I’m the family’s unowned boy Golden curls of envied hair Pretty girls with faces fair See the shine in the Black Sheep Boy

A voice is calling in the night Sounds like our babe While a hand from underneath the bed Is pulling at my hair A shadow man without a face Dancing in the crowd When a real-life lightning struck As Bob spoke to Jah Someday a friend of mine Was driving in a car When suddenly he saw a cow Standing in the fire

Shadow, you’re my dog Shadow, you’re my first dog I’ve had you as a puppy And I’ll never let you go Shadow, where have you been? Shadow, where have you been? Shadow, where have you been? Shadow, why did you go? I don’t know Shadow, where have you been? Shadow, where have you been?

Beyond the tears I gaze upon a rainbow Above my fears I am looking at the sky The air is clear Words whispering goodbye Inside the room You are seated at the table You know the truth Tears falling from your eyes Your solitude A poignant dance in the moon’s light

Can’t believe I made it through The open door I was tangled to Need to find what I came here for Near the frame of the now broken door The sun beats down, hot as fire As I walk this endless wire My troubles fall away, I am weightless and free As I soar towards the heavens, I finally see My heat’s hurting while I’m playing this chord All this nonsense has taken a toll on me And while I bothered with other people’s minds I’ve forgotten what it means to be free Time dances by, in a fleeting waltz’s grace Memories linger, leaving traces to embrace Bitter or exalted, they both intertwine Colors merging, where paths align My heat’s hurting while I’m playing this chord All this nonsense has taken a toll on me And while I bothered with other people’s minds I’ve forgotten what it means to be free

The writing’s on the wall There’s no time to delay Clear as crystal I must go right away I can’t understand While the wind’s blowing in My ear feels the pain Sends a signal to my brain Feeling like a tree Looking to the sides Looking right at me The sun slowly hides I can still see a light Shining in my room It’s blue and dim Must be the colour of the moon And the lord Gave me strength So I try to be I try to breathe The feeling starts to fade Slipping out of sight The moon and the stars I bid them all goodnight I can’t understand While the wind’s blowing in My ear feels the pain Sends a signal to my brain And the lord Gave me strength So I try to be I try to breathe Yes the lord Gave me strength So I try to be I try to breathe

Solem sequi Follow the sun Julia said Dixit Lulia By the gate Out in the dark And I won’t miss A pointed gun Hear when she says I’m leaving now To the base Of the sun And I won’t miss a pointed gun, yeah And on my way I will cry

She systematically removed him from her life He told her he was gonna use a gun She sent around a letter in an office memorandum And try to get the word to everyone She changed her life around So he could not find out Her clothes, her hair, the colour of her car She tried to pick up the pieces of a shattered situation While he was getting drunk down at the bar Carol I can’t see the justice there Carol If it can happen here it can happen anywhere And in a drunken rage The violence engaged Severing relations like a knife She wouldn’t take his calls Or talk to him at all So he busted in and blew away her life The problem’s here to stay You can see it every day On the tube or you can read it in the news You can’t turn the page to make it go away Even when you change the channel to cartoons Carol I can’t see the justice there Carol If it can happen here it can happen anywhere Carol I can’t see the justice there Carol If it can happen here it can happen anywhere

While the city was busy we wanted to rest We decided to drive up to observatory crest We’d just seen a concert and heard all the best We went on a ride, we got outside The sand was hot, she wanted to dance We went round and round in observatory crest Thought we saw flying saucers and all of the rest Dance in my brain from observatory crest While the city was busy we wanted to rest We decided to drive up to observatory crest We’d just seen a concert and heard all the best So the only thing to do Was to drive up And watch the city From observatory crest While the city was busy we wanted to rest We decided to drive up to observatory crest We’d just seen a concert and heard all the best So the only thing to do Was to drive up And watch the city From observatory crest

Amidst nature’s embrace, a wondrous sight, Where earth and sky converge, in radiant light. With fields and forests, in colours untamed, A magical paradise, where spirits are unchained. The meadows unfold, in a wild, carefree dance, Where flowers sway and butterflies prance. Beneath the sun’s gaze, they come alive, A psychedelic tapestry, where beauty thrives. Within the groovy woods Rivers meander, in a soothing serenade, Their gentle currents, a melody they’ve played. We dip our toes, in their cool, clear streams, As water’s gentle touch, soothes our dreams. Within the groovy woods

Down by the river I will stand Looking at the past Down by the river I will walk Thinking without rest Down by the river I will ask Was it really me? Down by the river I’ll take myself Too seriously

I see the birds are here I don’t know where you’re going Heal me inside my dreams Free me from me I don’t know what’s going on I don’t know who’s coming here I don’t know what’s happening Tell me baby are you for real Take me girl, where you’re at Free me from my broken dreams On the mountains, in the sea Free me from me I don’t know what’s happening I don’t know what’s going on I don’t know who’s coming here Call me baby on the phone I scream from my dreams Can you hear me? I’ve been waiting for so long Free me baby

Lighting matches With my buddy Henri He sees me And I see him Brown skins Touching An unbridled libertine See a woman walking High heels Bright skin She can see me With my buddy Henri Bruised shins Light skin She’s a woman of my dreams

Under the sea Under the sea What do you see? Shades of blue You’ve been swimming here And I have too I hear you calling me… Under the sea Under the sea What do you see? Shades of blue You see a jellyfish And I see it too I hear you calling me…

I don’t take you for granted Though I was neglected And I don’t think that you’ll miss me Though we are expecting Forget about it You’ll never doubt it We’re gonna take our time alright I heard you have promised Well you are dishonest And I will be optimistic ‘Cause we are expecting I know it’s nothing But tell me something Are these the best times of our lives?

I’m chasing dreams In places never been With people never seen I’m chasing dreams Be here with me Living in the real Free me from my dreams Be here with me I’m chasing dreams In places never been With people never seen I’m chasing dreams

In between Life and dream I saw you there In blue jeans You came in gently From the hill And no one can tell If you’re real Floating in life and dream I’d like to stay in between Then suddenly I saw a clown And on his head A golden crown His feet were burning Smouldering And I was thinking Is it a dream? Floating in life and dream I’d like to stay in between Floating in life and dream I’d like to stay in between I’d like to stay in between I’d like to stay in between

(Instrumental)

I see you in the light Not so strange but pretty cool I don’t know what’s on your mind All I know is I love you The train is almost here I’ve got tickets for us two It’s OK if you are late I’ll just sit here and wait for you Our love is true And it’s coming for you Our love is real Tell me something You woke up in the night That pillow isn’t good And the darkness in your eyes I know it’s part of you Forever in the sand In the summer of our youth Don’t try to understand All I really want is you Our love is true And it’s coming for you Our love is real Tell me something

Here in my island Taking my hand I’m channeling rivers of gold Hovering over the sky Here in my land See it through my lens King of the day King of the nighttime I’m channeling rivers of gold Hovering over the sky

You don’t need to tell me I can see it in your eyes We’ve changed, I know Maybe you can stay with me Maybe you’re afraid that I’ll be gone See the birds in the sky Sit on mango trees It’s now or never Listen to the story Of how the people came from Babylon You don’t need to tell me I can see it in your eyes Well, I’ve been wrong See the birds in the sky Sit on mango trees It’s now or never See the birds in the sky Sit on mango trees It’s now or never

I don’t want nobody To be beside me But you I think you love me Don’t you? Don’t let them tell you what to do Outside it is sunny I can feel it inside me How about you? And I don’t wanna be here, oh no I feel so strange and subdued And the silence was unbroken And the stillness gave no token And the only word there spoken Was the whispered word, Lenore!

4 in the morning It’s getting late Watch out for the dogs In the parade I know I’m not the kind To be afraid ‘Cause I’m Right here Right here You said your mother was Not the same Since you came back with a man The other day I know it pains a lot To feel this way ‘Cause I’m Right here Right here And when night will fall We will embrace And watch the shooting stars from Outer space I see them moving fast Straight to your face ‘Cause I’m Right here Right here Right here Down here I’m here Right here

Did you hear the kids start laughing From the mountain my head’s carved in? Did you know that I’ve been burning All these years to see them turning? I heard that you’ve met somebody Even though you loved me happy I heard that the love you give him Is coming from a cloud that’s in me Knowing there is Knowing there… Knowing there is a place for me The summer gold in the sky An elephant, blows my mind The girl in the yellow dress Called me on the telephone Knowing there is Knowing there a place for me

Johnny met his girl on the 8th day of May Walking alone in the street She was out of her mind One of her kind And Johnny knew very well he wasn’t dreamin’ She said Ohhh la la la la la He’s a son of a bitch Ohhh la la la la la Speaking French and English My brother said to Johnny, hey come down to LA! We’re invited to the show of Celine He said that he was aware and that he wasn’t interested He’d rather stay at home and do nothing instead She said Ohhh la la la la la He’s a son of a bitch Ohhh la la la la la Speaking French and English Working hard all night long Johnny was playing for days When it was time to get paid He had nothing to say He didn’t complain though it wasn’t easy Ohhh la la la la la Hey Johnny what you’re dreamin’? Ohhh la la la la la

The cityscape that you once adored Now looks to you just like another city Sometimes I like to sit and wonder The family life is not for me Too many things I’d like to be If only I had the audacity To build a life in society All alone in another city All I wanted was that you see me On a bus to Giv’atayim Gonna see you right on time I was born near Jerusalem in another city The scorching sun was hovering over me I’d sit and watch as she crossed the street Moving her body to the sound of the music All alone in another city All I wanted was that you see me On a bus to Giv’atayim Gonna see you right on time All alone in another city All I wanted was that you see me On a bus to Giv’atayim Gonna see you right on time

Hear the String Band Sing a song Back in the day Watch these people Holding flowers As they pray I was drinking From the water Of the saints With old Mary And the father Of her children The night was young When we parted ways Only to meet again Someday By mistake Watch the toucans As they fly Above the manger Touch the rainbow With the brush Of a painter I just stood there Like a poet In the rain With old Adam And Abel and Cain There’s no greater feeling than love For your brother and your father and the great mother above It is time To put the cards On the table Just like Jacob Said to Michael The archangel I was watching I’m still watching Through the window Of a vision That was lost Back in the day Of a vision That is lost Back in the day Watch out!

The blood on the streets The raindrops of April The people you meet Are not always special I feel them coming in but I don’t know them I hear them calling me but I don’t see them The sounds of the sea The calling whales The sand on the beach And all it entails I see them calling in from Another place They keep on calling me But I’ve got nothing to say The shimmering lights Of Havana Bay The pebble stones On the glowing rails I hear the pouring rain From miles away I hear it calling me But I’m gonna stay

Moved into another place Where I can see her smiling face Onie was a kid The best who ever lived When I am feeling sad She’ll make it disappear Onie was a kid The best who ever lived And when she calls me I know she loves me Five in the afternoon The moon is gonna rise here soon Onie was a kid The best who ever lived And when she calls me I know she loves me Found a place where we can live For another year Onie was a kid The best who ever lived Onie was a kid Onie was a kid Onie was a kid Onie was a kid

Living without her Brings rainstorm and fire In the horizon A temple in Zion My thoughts scattered in the wind My hair blowing Very flattering Angels and rangers Lived here for ages Gently ascending True love Unending Here I’m standing in the rain In a raincoat Very flattering Living without her Tame my desire Give me some chances True love commences

There was a girl With velvet eyes Could only see her Behind a glass She was alone And so was I Without a home Without a home Inside the pond I saw a bear The little creatures That live in there It’s our new home In paradise Azzurro Azzurro

I sent you an email the other day They canceled my flight again They said they couldn’t just delay And so they took my miles and threw them away I guess I’ll have to see you in LA Or in your beautiful house near Marseille All over the world wherever you stay And whenever you may say You’re not alone You’re with yourself You’re not afraid of death In Babylon Or Mount Sinai You’re not afraid to die I know a change will come one day I also know it sounds easy to say But I’ll say it anyway As I spread my wings and fly away And when I see the legendary lion in the sky I know it’s time for me to die I’ll kiss you and say goodbye As I fade away and watch you cry You’re not alone You’re with yourself You’re not afraid of death In Babylon Or Mount Sinai You’re not afraid to die

A school of fish was swimming upstream While the little girl was walking down the street She saw an old woman walk by In a big raincoat and a tear in her eye She said “hey mama are you doing alright?” “Yes little girl I’m doing just fine” And as they stood there in the middle of July A big white feather fell down from the sky White feather carry me home White feather carry me home White feather in the sky White feather mid-July Orange pink and blue Who am I flying with you In this salted water A snake for a brother I take and partake In a dream or a horror But which one will it be The one I will honour White feather carry me home White feather carry me home White feather in the sky White feather mid-July

Your hands are up and you are down on your knees You’re thinking, this isn’t the way things used to be And no one ever told how it’s gonna be But you know something must be off because you don’t feel free They say all good things must come to an end And so maybe it’s time to break up in tears ’Cause something happened that I can’t explain And you might not see me for a thousand years Behind the door there’s a dead man And you’re about to throw him into the sea While she’s dancing on the hot sand You’re thinking, is this real or is it just me I think I better go away Take a train and be out of here And if it goes according to plan Well, you might not see me for a thousand years In the corner of my eye I watch Jupiter rising Over the valleys of your body Life is so surprising In momentary silence Whispers flap their wings As they fly above our heads Saying imaginary things And nobody else knows The scenes I have seen Earth and fire in your eyes Pinch me for it’s a woken dream

Love I don’t know why You grow And then you die, love Why go There’s a sign in the street demanding my attention (A child) A child walks all alone approaching a dangerous situation I hear the loud voice of the father calling the mother (Violence) And by now I know that I love her and I’m ready to fight for her Time Is passing by And I’m Still wondering why I don’t love The forces are pulling me from another dimension (L’Amour) While the man next to me is seeking platonic expression I can hear the little voice of the child calling his mother (He’s crying) He cries and cries, thinking he’ll never find her

I was looking at the picture Mild confusion mixed with attitude Getting drunk on margaritas With some friends in Planet Hollywood And everybody loves you but you don’t care For all I know you’re already dead by now And who did care about your feeling?

Lighting up my pipe Inhale and I’m out There are dogs and monsters and garbage on the ground Listening to the same record for the 32nd time And I really love being stoned in the streets People living in the streets Near the sewers and drains of the city I see them laughing and wait in disbelief And I feel good as I walk in the streets Words changing rapidly In a crossworded apogee And Lucy’s still with me As I’m changing the fantasy Anything I could see Anything I could feel Anything is a dream Everything is real in the streets People dying in the streets Near the lampposts and corners of the city I see them fighting in search for release And I’m cut out as I walk in the streets

Out in the dark the boys are kissing to the spirit of the night I kissed them twins on the lips hot and wet like April showers A good friend of mine told me check out the riffs of Jamerson James He gave me a lesson about love, and I really dig the way he plays I’m a creature of no light Grooving in the shadow Meet me in an hour I loved a girl who was a boy who loved us all the same way (Chime bells a-ringing in the corner of the street) She was a dancer in a club in the city of Paris, France (The 10th arrondissement) Big eyes, small mouth like a line of Herbie Flowers (Check him with the flowers) She took me down to her place and set me fire I’m a creature of no light Grooving in the shadow Meet me in an hour

Man, your hair seems tired and your face is a mess I bet you’re looking for something or somebody you can’t even face But the brain keeps on working in the middle of the night I dreamt of a multicoloured spaceship stuck in the mud on its way to my mind And you know it’s not the answer Secret life of my ancestors Tell my mother that I love her I’ll be back when I get older Your eyelids are open but your brain is shut You’re a victim, a shock therapy Say what? I said a victim, shock therapy, right?! Your mother is crazy and your father’s a fool No wonder they sent me to school Woohoo Shut up!
