Now we went up to the garden Beneath the olive tree The bells were ringing The rooster crows The men were standing all around Other men are laying on
Honey-skinned girl She's light on her feet Twirling on Apollo But she's going down there for something to eat On the corner We see him coming Followed
Once your journeyed into the wilderness To listen to John the Prophet You called "The baptiser" He spoke to you of truth He was a burning, shining light
For a thousand years I've lay upon the Lake Victoria I was winged and many-colored And nobody knew my name For a thousand years I fell out of the sand
I wanted to pray I wanted to let you go on your way I wanted to know why they laid there Dying in the streets next to the restaurant Where people were
It makes me laugh When I think about us The way we light up the way home It's you for us And one for all It caught me in its ray But it hurts to be here
If you believe You are light as air If you believe You will fly There is no tear that is stronger than The faith that's in your eye Look now at my body
The sun's goin' down I'm goin back to my cave I've got no one to meet No one to save I like the music In my head I think I'll go away For her instead

Take my advice It doesn't get easier watching the golden orbs floating out of the bars And into space there's Frank Sinatra on the Juke box Pause in the

A gypsy boy came up to you With a newspaper spread across his arm To hid his fingers in your pocket... Meanwhile, in another part of town I buy a ticket
Wrote a letter to my father I thought I'd tell him where I am I knew that he was hoping I'd come home again I'm standing in the doorway But I'm happy
Lap dog lap dog where you gonna go? If I put you out in the rain and snow If I put you out in the rain and snow Where the sun dont shine and the cold
Not long ago it was alright There were no bad dreams that kept me up at night It was not brother against brother Mother against mother So tell somebody
'Round here we don't need no one trying to set us straight Heck, I got a red neck in plaid suit And he's on TV real late balalaikas tolling Sheba plays
Close your eyes and dream of me You've found the one you love Life is long and then it's through But you go on and on Nous serons une nuit brillante
What you are you can never erase It's here til the end of time What you lost you will never replace Still you're trying to find... You dont do it for
