Dreaming

When I met you in the restaurant
you could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure
"A movie or a measure"?
I'll have a cup of tea
and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Real to real a living rarity
People stop and stare at me
we just walk on by
We just keep on dreaming
Feet, feet, walking a two mile
Mee,t meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him I'll never forget him
Dream, dream, even for a little while
Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine someone of your very own
someone you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free
Dreaming, oh dreaming
Dreaming, oh dreaming

Hanging on the Telephone

I'm in the phone booth
it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer
I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there
but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now
she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again?
Oh why can't we talk again?
Oh why can't we talk again?
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
It's good to hear your voice
you know it's been so long
If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can't control myself!
No I can't control myself!
Oh I can't control myself!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Hang up and run to me
Hang up and run to me
Hang up and run to me
Hang up and run to me

Under the Gun

Well this is a little song that Chris wrote
About an old friend of ours who had a little band called the gun club
I still can picture him
His hands in his back pockets
He wasn't much for words
But when the wise kids made a racket
He just had to go downtown
Throw his weight around for starting over
"Say did you hear I've got a band?"
Some guys I know from LA
Put on Rio Grande
I'll pay you back next Friday
You know it sure ain't big
Just some cats I dig
They said "They'd do the gig"
Oh Desperado
Why don't you spend your life in Colorado?
Oh restless shadow
Out in the blue hills
You're feeling hollow
Oh El Diablo
Why did you spend your life in California?
I should have warned ya
No place to go now but falling over
Some guys can't make it on the run
Under the gun
Not for the younger
Oh Jack Daniel's I feel your hunger
I know you did your best
But you thought that you did not
I wish that I had known
Before I heard the last shot
You know it's not a sin
That trophy Indian
Just a momento
So sad you love remained
My comrades lost in battle
The music was a din from London to Seattle
We all made you play and all our yesterdays
Are starting over
Oh Desperado
Why don't you spend your life in Colorado?
Oh restless shadow
Out in the blue hills
You're feeling hollow
Oh, El Diablo
Why did you spend your life in California?
I should have warned ya
No place to go now but falling over
Ready to die
Now he's ready to die
Ready to die
Now he's ready to die
Ready to die
Now he's ready to die

Screaming Skin

Thank you, Thank you, hi, hello
Following my lust for wonder
Everywhere I've ever been
I can't escape from the sound of it
The sound of my screaming skin
My skin cries
My blood sighs
But I still owe some dread on this hide
Following my trust in wonder
I watch the circus begin
I can't escape from the scent of it
The scent of my screaming skin
My skin cries
My spirit flies
But I still owe some dread on this hide

I'm a multicellular individual
You're way out of proportion
We've got the hemo-dynamic connection
So don't call me germ
Allowing for my strength to muster
My losses begin to win
Tropical breezes start to bluster
Raising the fur on my skin
My skin cries
My blood sighs
But I still owe some dread on this hide

I'm a multicellular individual
You're way out of proportion
We've got the hemo-dynamic connection
So don't call me germ
Swallowing my pride no longer
I taste the forbidden sun
If I have been slaughtered by hunger
I'm not the only one
My skin cries
My blood sighs
But I still owe some dread on this hide of mine

I'm a multicellular individual
You're way out of proportion
We've got the hemo-dynamic connection
Don't call me germ
My skin cries
My spirit flies
But I still owe some dread on this hide of mine
My skin cries
My blood sighs
But I still owe some dread on this hide of mine

Rapture

Toe to toe dancing very close
Body breathing almost comatose
Wall to wall people hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture
Back to back sacroiliac
Spineless movement and a wild attack
Face to face sightless solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinning I said "My, My"
Flash is fast flash is cool
Francois c'est pas flashe non due
And you don't stop sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground
And out comes the man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night eating cars
You eat Cadillacs Lincolns too
Mercury and Subaru
And you don't stop
You keep on eating cars
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face
Dance cheek to cheek
toe to toe
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from Mars is through with cars
He's eating bars
Yeah wall to wall
Door to door
Hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture
Be pure
Take a tour through the sewer
Don't strain your brain
Paint a train
You'll be singing in the rain
And you don't stop to the punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars where the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip hop
And you don't stop
Just blast off sure shot
Because the man from Mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars
Get up!
Man to man, body muscular
Seismic movement, bite the jugular
One to one, tea-time technology and a digital ardour
No sign of Saviour in Rapture
Are you in Rapture rapture rapture?

Forgive and Forget

Nature's cast upon the sea
The winds of past of promise be
Waters deep and cunning
A scheme of sleep as lovers dream
If you forgive me my ferocity
I won't forget your sweetness
Pull down the night
And lay it before me
Ratify my head with curses
Night recalls tranquillity
A curtain falls and sets it free
Darkness calls eternity
Down silent halls the shadows flee
If you forgive me my ferocity
I won't forget your sweetness
Pull down the night and lay it before me
Ratify my head with curses
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget
Fatal cast upon the sea
The winds of past of promise be
Waters deep and cunning
A scheme of sleep as lovers dream
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget

X Offender

You read me my rights and then you said
"Let's go" and nothing more
I thought of my nights and how they were
They were filled with
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then, you'd step in
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style
And wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd understand then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked you just had to laugh
Walking the line you were a marksman
Told me that law like wine is ageless
Public defender
You had, to admit you wanted, the love of a sex offender
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
My vision in blue I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial you were there with, your badge and rubber boots
I think all the time how I'm going to perpatrate love with you
And when I get out there's no doubt
I'll be sex offensive to you
I saw you sitting on my face, you looked so big and fine
I really wanted to go out with you so I laid my heart on the line

The Tide Is High

The tide is high but I'm holding on

No Exit

There's no sin in this
Getting dressed to kill
Laughing down the sun like a jackal will
With his eyes ablaze yeah and his lips apart
He's gonna fill his cup with the love in your heart
And drink it up till the morning starts
Circulate the red light vistas
Get the girls and get their sisters
Pinch em up and give em blisters
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Standing on the verge of the edge of the ledge
Waiting for me to fall but
Then I got a call
It said; "Wait hold up homie
You must be trippin
You can't be putting that sippin and whippin up in your pippin
You better stand tall
Fool you was born to ball
Took a little fall and now you wanna end it all
You've been chasing dreams like a hound dog on the hunt
Take your place in the front
Put your hand on the pump
I know they're laughing but you'll be laughing later
Cuz time's are gonna get greater
You's a player and when I say player
I mean player cuz your daddy and your uncle was a player"
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Why don't you come and talk me off the edge
Why don't you come and walk me off the edge
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Bye, bye to another life
Under the dark
In total chaos
behind us
Nothing can shake us
All the is sacred, dearly departed
Brave heart, slave, aids
Contains something courageous
Solution, it all comes in stages
Live into Nirvana
Behind the golden ages
The world crash explodes
Never devours
Don't cry for me, I'm proud
Jump up the power
Then, then, then
When you least expect it
You'll understand, there is no exit
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Cry over you?
Who's gonna cry over you?

Shayla

Shayla worked in a factory
She wasn't history
She's just a number
One day she gets her final pay and she goes far away

Green trees call to me
I am free but life is so cheap
Scenery is still outside of me
All alone trapped by its beauty

Shayla turned to run away to leave in peace and end her stay
Years of fear were in her way
Lost in space and down she came

Suddenly some subtle entity,
some cosmic energy,
brushed her like shadows
Down here we stop to wonder
'Cause on the freeway
Bright lights and thunder

Give me some, give me some
That's beautiful

Heart of Glass

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing I was so blind
Much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing
and I'm feeling fine Love is so confusing,
there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using
please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising yeah
Cruise on, cruise on
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

One more time
Thank you very much
It's been a great night
Thank you very much

In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and full of fire
Won't come in from the rain

Blue as ice and desire
Ooh Don't you wanna make her?

You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina
