I'm drunk
On you
Heavenly drunk
On you
God's in his kingdom
He put the stars in the sky
He threw me down at your feet
Made the big monkey cry
And I'm drunk
On you
Heavenly drunk
On you
Your ladies in waiting
All looking so fair
They play sexy music
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I'm drunk
On you
Heavenly drunk
On you
Don't worry 'bout my conscience
It's clear!
Everyone's a sinner, baby
That's why we're here
And nothing else matters
No, not any more
The world doesn't matter
Nothing else matters
'Cause I'm drunk
On you
Heavenly drunk
On you

The sun is shining I feel alright
Gonna lie in the shade, wait for the night
You know my eyes are gray
My hair is wild
That's okay I'm the youngest child
I love my mother she treat me good
My elder brothers don't think she should
They say "He sleeps all day
He's so spoiled"
She says "That's okay he's the youngest child"
And every day I go Yeah Yeah Yeah
All the girls they like me 'cause I'm so sweet
They say "Let's get married on Cyprus Street"
I say "Please baby, baby
That's not my style!"
They say "That's okay he's the youngest child"
And every day I go Yeah Yeah Yeah

I'm in love with an angry girl
The way I tie my shoes
The way I spell my name
It really gives her the blues
And it's all my fault
Yes, it's all my fault
I'm in love with an angry girl
It's something that I did
She says I'm well aware
But I'm really confused
And it's all my fault
Yes it's all my fault
"Why do you let her?"
It's a small price to pay
"She should treat you better"
It's a small price to pay
"Takes nothing to upset her"
It's small price to pay
"Why do you let her?"
'Cause I love her anyway
I'm in love with an angry girl
She says I'm insincere
But when I tell the truth
It always brings her to tears
And it's all my fault
Yes it's all my fault
"Why do you let her?"
It's a small price to pay
"She should treat you better"
It's a small price to pay
"Takes nothing to upset her"
It's small price to pay
"Why do you let her?"
Cause I love her anyway
I'm in love with an angry girl
I'm in love with an angry girl

One Way Street
02:49
|

Airplanes above my head
Subway trains below my feet
Mary Jane she's in her bed
I'd like to think she's fast asleep
'Cause now I'm going back to her
I ran away, didn't get so far
I can ride around but I can't break free
I'm driving down a one way street
Midnight moon is in its place
I'll sing a tune to her pretty face
Yeah, I'll play the hero in disgrace
I won the girl, but I miss the chase
'Cause now I'm going back to her
I ran away, didn't get so far
I can ride around but I can't break free
I'm driving down a one way street
Subway trains stay on the track
Airplanes, they fly back
Just like a turtle in the sea
I ought to know what's good for me
Yeah now I'm going back to her
I ran away, didn't get so far
I can ride around but I can't break free
I'm driving down a one way street
I'm driving down a one way street
Yes I'm driving down a one way street

Building A Road
04:14
|

|
They're building a road
From the moon to the sun
Then they'll build another road
When that road is done
They're working so hard
But they've only just begun
Building that road
From the moon to the sun
And everybody, everybody wants to succeed
And everybody, everybody longs to be free
And everybody, everybody's looking for love
So they're building a road from the moon to the sun
Yes they're building a road from the moon to the sun
I'll sing them a song
From the side of the hill
And they'll sing along
I know that they will
It once was a dream
But now it's gonna be real
'Cause they're building that road
With concrete and steel
And everybody, everybody wants to succeed
And everybody, everybody longs to be free
And everybody, everybody's looking for love
So they're building a road from the moon to the sun
Yes they're building a road from the moon to the sun
We're building a road
From the moon to the sun
Then we'll build another road
When that road is done
We're working so hard
But we've only just begun
Building that road
From the moon to the sun

Play Me In Your Bedroom
05:46
|
|||
|
When your dance is done
And you take off your shoes
When the curtain comes down
And there's only you
Close your eyes there's a ceiling over you
By Michelangelo
I pray to God our love's still breathing in you
But if you choose to let me go
Play me in your bedroom
If the music's right I hope it helps you sleep
Play me in your bedroom
On a moonlit night I know your dreams will be sweet
Play me in your bedroom
With the volume low that's how it should be heard
Play me in your bedroom
Let it pull you slowly far from this world
Above the gilded clouds
All the stars are still out
And the sky is red
As you lie in your feather bed
It's cold outside I wish I had you here
Well, I guess it’s for the best
Our love grew tired still I miss you, my dear
Please accept one last request
Play me in your bedroom
If the music's right I hope it helps you sleep
Play me in your bedroom
On a moonlit night I know your dreams will be sweet
Play me in your bedroom
With the volume low that's how it should be heard
Play me in your bedroom
Let it pull you slowly far from this world

You Will Rise Again
05:35
|
|||
|
It's dark and it's cold and your story seems told
Your obituary has been written on the wall
The tears on your face they have no hiding place
But you, you will rise again
You will rise again
Yes, you will rise again
You will rise again
Yes, you will rise again
You will rise
You will rise
Let me hear your trumpets blow
Blow down the walls
Blow down the walls of Jericho
You're all alone in your room and it feels just like a tomb
Remember you're stronger than you think you are
Your soul may feel numb but soon your time will come
Yes you will rise again
You will rise again
Yes you will rise again
You will rise again
Yes you will rise again
You will rise
You will rise
Let me hear your trumpets blow
Blow down the walls
Blow down the walls of Jericho
You're stronger than you think you are

Lazarus
He rose from the dead
But I
Can't even pull myself out of bed
Take me up
Wake me up
Depression
It hurts too much to move
Depression
You've nothing left to prove
Take me up
Wake me up
Ariel
Let me fly
Oh, Ariel
Untie these wings and let me fly
Fly into her arms
Fly into my mother's arms

Lost Again
03:21
|
|||
|
Early in the morning
Trying to find my way home
Nobody can help me
I'm naked and alone
I'm lost again
My soul is aching
Aching for a sign
My heart is breaking
It's breaking all the time
I'm lost again
Hush little baby don't you cry
Everything's gonna be all right
Hush little darling don't be blue
All the angels in heaven watching over you
No matter what you learn
You make the same mistakes
Put on a little make-up
You still got the same face
I'm lost again
I'm lost again
Hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be all right
Hush little darling don't be blue
All the angels in heaven watching over you
All God's children gone astray
All God's children lost their way
But hush little bay don't you cry
Everything's gonna be all right

Look what a mess I’ve made
My princess in tears
You think that you’ve been betrayed
Forgive me, please
'Cause I didn’t hurt you intentionally
No I didn’t hurt you intentionally
She’s not your equal
I've heard it said
But al least she forgives me
When I mess with her head
And I didn’t hurt you intentionally
No I didn’t hurt you intentionally
People sometimes make mistakes
Why can’t you just give me a break?
You hate to cry
Well, so do I
I know that I’m guilty, I’ve admitted my crime
You still want to punish me but I’ve served my time
And I didn’t hurt you intentionally
No I didn’t hurt you intentionally
No I didn’t

I'm Back Up
06:31
|
|||
|
I was down, ten miles deep
Darkness all around, I was too scared to sleep
I couldn't pray 'cause my mouth was dry
I'd fallen so far I couldn't even cry
They were shoveling dirt down on me
I could hear their dogs howling at me
I could feel the poison in the air
I could smell the snakes crawling through my hair
Now I'm back up
I'm standing tall
Yeah I'm back up
There's nothing wrong at all
Sweet sweet day
Twenty-four hour drug
Gonna swallow you down
'Cause I'm back up
I was lying to myself, I was lying to my girl
I was lying to my wife, I was lying to the world
I was running from the truth through an endless cave
Thought I was running for freedom but I was still a slave
Then the gave me one more chance, they said "pick a card"
So I stuck out my hand and I thought very hard
And I picked that card and I opened my eyes
And I read my name and the following lines:
"Get out get out, get away from here
Don't look back, have no fear"
So I walked away, pace by pace
Till I felt the sunlight lick my face
And I'm back up
I'm breathing free
Yeah I'm back up
Nothing gets to me
Sweet sweet day
Twenty-four hour drug
Gonna swallow you down
'Cause I'm back up
Yeah I'm back up
I'm standing tall
Yeah I'm back up
There's nothing wrong at all
Sweet sweet day
Twenty-four hour drug
Gonna swallow you down
Cause I'm back up

Pleased to meet you
You look like someone
Someone I once knew
I told my good friends
All about her
How she made me so blue
I said "I'm never gonna get that girl
Never gonna get that girl, oh no
I'm never gonna get that girl
Never gonna get that girl, oh no"
We got married
She had my children
She climbed a mountain for me
And I knew she loved me
She was kind and gentle
I prayed to God down on my knees
Said "I'm never gonna get that girl
Never gonna get that girl, oh no
I'm never gonna get that girl
Never gonna get that girl, oh no"
I can see her now by the side of the street
Strumming an old guitar
Singing "Oh my love won't you travel with me?
It's been a long time and we've come so far."
Said "I'm never gonna get that girl
Never gonna get that girl, oh no
I'm never gonna get that girl"

I Get Blue
04:49
|
|||
|
I get blue late at night when the sun go down and the rain begin to fall
I get blue late at night when there's no one around and my mother give me a call
When all the windows across the street got a television glow
When the minute hand tells the second hand, "Son, keep it slow"
When my mind is full of empty thoughts and there's nothing much to do
I get blue
I get blue when I look in the mirror 'cause I'm sick and tired of my face
I get blue when the air conditioner rattles in its case
When all the pictures hanging on my wall start to walk with a limp
When the music playing down the hall is sung by some Mexican pimp
It doesn't matter if the tune is good 'cause not one word is true
I get blue
You tell me that I'm out of date, my blues don't give you a thrill
You tell me I should medicate with some shiny little blue pill
Well, that's all right
You tell me there's no money in feeling sorry for myself
You tell me that your children got Chinese toys on their shelf
Well that's all right
I remember when I was a little boy I'd sit at the end of my bed
I'd sit there hoping someday I'd find the words in my head
To express the loneliness I was feeling then
I could barely sing, barely play guitar, could barely do anything
Oh my sad, sad little friend I'm still the same as you
I get blue
You tell me there's a million people got it worse than me
You tell me there's a billion more never seen a university
Well, that's all right
You tell me there's a woman lives just down the street
She's got one eye, sixteen cats, she's very keen to meet
Well that's all right
Well I think I better go to bed 'cause I gotta get up and work
I’ll drink some coffee in the morning, wear my favorite shirt
I'll talk to people here and there in an urban sugar dream
I'll ask the girl in the copy room if I've broken her machine
Somewhere between Delancey Street and Atlantic Avenue
I just have to remind myself every day's brand new
Still I get blue
I get blue

No One Has A Clue
03:07
|
|||
|
No one has a clue what's really going on
Everyone's confused but no one's letting on
And when I point this out to a pretty girl I meet
She thinks it's just a line I'm trying
The rules we once obeyed, they say they now are dead
But they rule us from the grave when all is done and said
And people don't know why they think the way they do
Is it something in the air we breathe?
Yes, the world it is so modern, the past we can forget
For history began with the television set
But when I try this out on my buddies at the bar
They turn to me and say "Go to Hell"

The Way She Looked At Me
05:50
|
|||
|
I'm not guilty
I'm not ashamed
I'm not responsible
I'm not to blame
The way she looked at me
I hear the hanging judge
Is an honest man
He has experience
He'll understand
The way she looked at me
The pale moon shivered
From afar
The hungry river
Swallowed the stars
Just like an angel
Sweet little smile
I hadn't seen anybody
Smile for a while
The way she looked at me
I’m just a man, just a warm-blooded man

The Sun Still Shines
04:56
|
|||
|
Last night the world came to an end
That's right she won't come back again
She wouldn't even look me in the eyes
Well I'm glad to see the sun still shines
When she left I crawled across the floor
All my ex-lovers were laughing at the door
They said "That's what you get for telling all those lies"
Well I'm glad to see the sun still shines
I woke up this morning
Saw a heavenly light
It always comes without warning
To vanquish the night
A choir of angels
All singing so high
Dragging the sun
Up through the sky
An old rival came to see the show
He was standing at the bar, he smiled, waved hello
He bought a round of drinks, said "I really sympathize"
Well, I'm glad to see the sun still shines
I woke up this morning
Saw a heavenly light
It always comes without warning
To vanquish the night
A choir of angels
All singing so high
Dragging the sun
Up through the sky
Yes I'm glad to see the sun still shines

Broken Word
02:53
|
|||
|
"Beautiful" is such a broken word
I'd like to tell you something you've never heard
Until I find a better word
You're beautiful
You sit beneath the naked light
You ask me if you look all right
What am I supposed to say?
You're beautiful
The first king came with frankincense
The second king he came with myrrh
The third king came with a sack of gold
But all I have is a broken word
And actions speak much louder anyhow
So let me lie this guitar on the ground
And slide my hand along your marble skin
