Crucify

Every finger in the room is pointing at me.
I wanna spit in their faces, then I get afraid what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach, I got a desert in my mouth.
Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now.
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets,
looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets.
I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in.
Just what God needs, one more victim.
Why do we crucify ourselves? Every day I crucify myself.
Nothing I do is good enough for you, crucify myself.
Every day I crucify myself and my heart is sick of being in chains.

Got a kick for a dog begging for love.
I gotta have my suffering so that I can have my cross.
I know a cat named Easter, he says, "will you ever learn?
You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird."
Why do we crucify ourselves? Every day I crucify myself.
Nothing I do is good enough for you, crucify myself.
Every day I crucify myself and my heart is sick of being in chains.

Please be, save me, I cry.

Looking for a savior in these dirty streets. Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets.
I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in.
Where are those angels when you need them?
Why do we crucify ourselves? Every day I crucify myself.
Nothing I do is good enough for you, crucify myself.
Every day I crucify myself and my heart is sick of being in chains.

Why do we change (chains?), crucify ourselves.
Everyday, never going back again.
Crucify myself again, you know, never going back again to
crucify myself, everyday.


Girl

From in the shadow she calls, and in the shadow she finds a way, finds a way.
And in the shadow she crawls, clutching her faded photograph my image under her thumb.
Yes, with a message for my heart, yes, with a message for my heart.
She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.

And in the doorway they stay and laugh as violins fill with water.
Screams from the bluebells can't make them go away.
We'll, I'm not seventeen but I've cuts on my knees,
falling down as the winter takes one more cherry tree.
She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.

Everyone else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.
Rushing rivers thread so thin, limitation.
Everyone else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.
Dreams with the flying pigs, turbid blue and the drugstores too,
safe in their coats and-a in their do's, yeah.
Everyone else's girl, maybe one day, maybe one day, one day, one day she'll be her own.
Smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots.

And in the mist there she rides and castles are burning in my heart .
And as I twist I hold tight and I ride to work every morning wondering why.
"Sit in the chair and be good now," and become all that they told you,
the white coats enter her room and I'm calling my baby,
calling my baby, calling my baby, calling.
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.


Silent All These Years

Excuse me but can I be you for a while? My dog won't bite if you sit real still.
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yelling at me again. Yeah, I can hear that.
Been saved again by the garbage truck. I got something to say you know but nothing comes.
Yes, I know what you think of me, you never shut up. Yeah, I can hear that.
But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of his with her name still on it,
Hey, but I don't care cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been
here, silent all these years.

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts,
what's so amazing about really deep thoughts?
Boy, you best pray that I bleed real soon. How's that thought for you?
My scream got lost in a paper cup. You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone.
I got 25 bucks and a cracker, do you think it's enough to get us there?
But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of his with her name still on it ,
Hey, but I don't care cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been
here, silent all these

years go by will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand?
Years go by, if I'm stripped of my beauty  and the orange clouds raining in my head.
Years go by, will I choke on my tears till finally there is nothing left?
One more casualty, you know we're too easy, easy, easy.

Well, I love the way we communicate. Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape.
Let's hear what you think of me now but baby don't look up, the sky is falling.
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress. It's your turn now to stand where I stand,
everybody looking at you, here take hold of my hand, yeah, I can hear them.
But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of his with her name still on it,
hey, but I don't care cause sometimes, I said sometimes, I hear my voice.
I hear my voice, I hear my voice and it's been here, silent all these years.
I've been here, silent all these years. Silent all these, silent all these years.


Winter

Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens. Wipe my nose, get my new boots on.
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter. I put my hand in my father's glove.
I run off where the drifts get deeper. Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown.
I hear a voice, "You must learn to stand up for yourself cause I can't always be around."

He says, when you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind, cause things are gonna change so fast.
All the white horses are still in bed, I tell you that I'll always want you near,
you say that things change, my dear.

Boys get discovered as winter melts. Flowers competing for the sun.
Years go by and I'm here still waiting withering where some snowman was.
Mirror, mirror, where's the crystal palace? But I only can see myself.
Skating around the truth who I am, but I know, Dad, the ice is getting thin.

When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind, cause things are gonna change so fast.
All the white horses are still in bed, I tell you that I'll always want you near,
you say that things change, my dear.

Hair is grey and the fires are burning, so many dreams on the shelf.
You say, I wanted you to be proud of me, I always wanted that myself.
When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind cause things are gonna change so fast.
All the white horse have gone ahead. I tell you that I'll always want you near.
You say that things change my dear. Never change. All the white horses.


China

China, all the way to New York, I can feel the distance getting close.
You're right next to me but I need an airplane. I can feel the distance as you breathe.
Sometimes, I think you want me to touch you.
How can I when you build a great wall around you?
In your eyes, I saw a future together but you just look away in the distance.

China decorates our table, funny how the cracks don't seem to show.
Pour the wine dear, you say we'll take a holiday but we never can agree on where to go.
How can I when you build a great wall around you?
In your eyes, I saw a future together but you just look away in the distance.

China, all the way to New York, maybe you got lost in Mexico.
You're right next to me, I think that you can hear me, funny how the distance learns to grow.
Sometimes, I think you want me to touch you.
How can I when you build a great wall around you?

I can feel the distance, I can feel the distance, I can feel the distance getting close.


Tear In Your Hand

All the world just stopped now, so you say you don't wanna stay together anymore.
Let me take a deep breath babe,
if you need me, me and Neil'll be hanging out with the dream king.

Neil says hi, by the way.
I don't believe you're leaving cause me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream.
I think it's that girl and I think there're pieces of me you've never seen,
maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen, well.

All the world is all I am. The black of the blackest ocean and that tear in your hand.
All the world is dangling, dangling, dangling for me darling,
you don't know the power that you have with that tear in your hand, tear in your hand.

Maybe I ain't used to maybes smashing in a cold room,
cutting my hands up every time I touch you, maybe.
Maybe it's time to wave goodbye now, time to wave goodbye now.

Caught a ride with the moon, I know, I know you well, well, better than I used to.
Haze all clouded up my mind in the daze of the way it could've never been,
so you say and I say you know you're full of wish and your "baby, baby, baby, babies."
I tell you there're pieces of me you've never seen,
maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen, well.

All the world is all I am. The black of the blackest ocean and that tear in your hand.
All the world is dangling, dangling, dangling for me darling,
you don't know the power that you have with that tear in your hand, tear in your hand.
With that tear in your hand, tear in hand, tear in hand...


Upside Down

God, I love to turn my little blue world upside down.
God, I love to turn my little blue world upside down.
Inside my head the noise- chatter chatter chatter chatter.
You see I'm afraid I'll always be still coming out of my mother upside down.

Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down?
I know you love to turn this little blue girl, baby, upside down.
But my heart it says you've been shatter shatter shatter shatter shattered.
And I know you're still a boy still coming out of your mother.

But when you gonna stand on your own?
I say the world is sick you say, tell me what that makes us darling?
You see, you always find my faults faster than you find your own.
You say the world is getting rid of her demons, I say baby, what have you been smoking?
Well I dreamed, I dreamed, I dreamed I loved a black boy, my daddy would scream.

Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down?
Any kind of touch I think is better than none, even upside down.
But you see I'm tangled up, got a kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair.
Cincinnati, I like the word, it's the only thing we can't seem to turn upside down.

Well I found the secret to life, I found the secret to life. I'm okay when everything is not okay.
Well I found the secret to life, I found the secret to life. I'm okay when everything is not okay.

Don't we love to turn our little blue world upside down?
Don't we love to turn our little blue world, baby, upside down?
Inside my head a voice, chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
and it says girl you're all the same, still coming out of your mother,
still coming out of your mother upside down.


Parasol

When I come to terms, to terms with this, when I come to terms with this
when I come to terms, to terms with this, my world will change for me.
I haven't moved since the call came, since the call came I haven't moved.
I stare at the wall knowing on the other side the storm that waits for me.

Then the seated woman with a parasol may be the only one you can't betray.
If I'm the seated woman with a parasol, I will be safe in my frame.

I have no need for a sea view, for a sea view I have no need.
I have my little pleasures, this wall being one of these.

Then the seated woman with a parasol may be the only one you can't betray.
If I'm the seated woman with a parasol, I will be safe in my frame.

When I come to terms, to terms with this, when I come to terms with this,
when I come to terms with this whip lash of silk on wool embroidery.

Then the seated woman with a parasol may be the only one you can't betray.
If I'm the seated woman with a parasol, I will be safe in my frame.
I will be safe in my frame.  In your house, in your frame.


Sweet The Sting

With a strut into the room with his hat cocked sure defiantly,
he said, "I, I have heard that you can play the way I like it to be played."
I said, "I can play anyway that you want.
But first I want, I want to know, baby, is it Sweet, sweet, sweet the sting?
Is it real, this infusion, can it heal where others before have failed?
If so, then somebody shake, shake, shake me sane
cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail."

He said, "I laid my weapons down with my pistol fully loaded,
a hunted man to my root, will it end or begin in your cinnabar juice?"
Is it Sweet, sweet, sweet the sting?
Is it real, this infusion, can it heal where others before have failed?
If so, then somebody shake, shake, shake me sane
cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail.

Love, let me breathe, breathe you in, melt the confusion until there is there is you, union.
Is it Sweet, sweet, sweet the sting?
Is it real, this infusion, can it heal where others before have failed?
If so, then somebody shake, shake, shake me sane
cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail.


The Power Of Orange Knickers

The power of orange knickers, the power of orange knickers,
the power of orange knickers under my petty coat.
the power of listening to what you don't want me to know.
Can somebody tell me now, who is this terrorist?
Those girls that smile kindly then rip your life to pieces?
Can somebody tell me now, am I alone with this?
This little pill in my hand and with this secret kiss, am I alone in this?

A matter of complication when you become a twist
for their latest drink as they're transitioning.
Can somebody tell me now, who is this terrorist?
This little pill in my hand that keeps the pain laughing?
Can somebody tell me now, a way out of this?
That sacred pipe of red stone could blow me out of this kiss, kiss,
am I alone in this kiss, kiss, am I alone in this?

The power of orange knickers, the power of orange knickers,
the power of orange knickers under my petty coat.
the power of listening to what you don't want me to know.
Shame, shame, time to leave me now, shame, shame, you've had your fun.
Shame, shame for letting me think that I would be the one.
Can somebody tell me now, who is this terrorist?
This little pill in my hand or this secret kiss, kiss,
am I alone in this kiss, kiss, am I alone in this kiss, kiss?


Jamaica Inn

Can you patch my jeans Peggy Ann?
Just a little stitch to mend the hole he has torn, if you can.
Maybe I got too set in my ways.
He says she reminds him of me when we first met in those early days.

The sexiest thing is trust, I wake up to find the pirates have come.
Tying up along your coast, how was I to know the pirates have come?
Between Rebecca's, beneath your firmaments,
I have worshipped in the Jamaica Inn, in the Jamaica Inn.

With the gales my little boat was tossed.
How was I to know that you'd sent her with a lantern to bring me in?
"Are you positive this is a friend?"
The captain grimaced, "Those are cliffs of rock ahead if I'm not mistaken."

The sexiest thing is trust, I wake up to find the pirates have come.
Tying up along your coast, how was I to know the pirates have come?
Between Rebecca's, beneath your firmaments, I have worshipped.

The sexiest thing is trust, I wake up to find the pirates have come.
Tying up along your coast, how was I to know the pirates have come?
Between Rebecca's, beneath your firmaments,
I have worshipped in the Jamaica Inn, in the Jamaica Inn...


Barons of Suburbia

Barons of Suburbia, take another piece of my good graces.
I'm in my war, you're in yours.
Do we fight for peace as they take another piece of us?
But baby, I would let your darkness invade me.
You could maybe turn this white light into navy before you leave.

It was a slight miscalculation that my friends, my friends would be waiting
on the other side of the bridge, on the other side of this, this mole hill of a mountain.
This potion, now a poison.  They're on the other side of right,
we're on the other side of her midnight.
When it's all said and done, we will lose a piece to a carnivorous vegetarian.

Barons of suburbia, I have heard you pray before you devour her.
So baby, will you let my darkness invade you?
You always liked your wafer sweet in the middle before you leave.

It was a slight miscalculation that our friends, our friends would be waiting
on the other side of the bridge, on the other side of this, this mole hill of a mountain.
This potion, now a poison. They're on the other side of right,
we're on the other side of her midnight.
I am piecing a potion to combat your poison.

She is risen, she is risen, boys...


Sleeps With Butterflies

Airplanes take you away again.  Are you flying above where we live?
Then I look up, a glare in my eyes, are you having regrets about last night?
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in so then I dove in.
Is there trouble ahead for you the acrobat?  I won't push you unless you have a net.

You say the word, you know I will find you,
or if you need some time, I don't mind.
I don't hold on to the tail of your kite.
I'm not like the girls that you've known but I believe I'm worth coming home to.
Kiss away night, this girl only sleeps with butterflies,
with butterflies, so go on and fly then, boy.

Balloons look good from on the ground.  I fear with pins and needles around.
We may fall then stumble upon a carousel, it could take us anywhere.

You say the word, you know I will find you,
or if you need some time, I don't mind.
I don't hold on to the tail of your kite.
I'm not like the girls that you've known but I believe I'm worth coming home to.
Kiss away night, this girl, this girl.

You say the word, you know I will find you,
or if you need some time, I don't mind.
I don't hold on to the tail of your kite.
I'm not like the girls that you've known but I believe I'm worth coming home to.
Kiss away night, this girl only sleeps with butterflies,
with butterflies, with butterflies, so go on and fly, boy.


General Joy

General Joy, I know, I know you'll take me there, where your boys were left behind.
General Joy, it seems you need a soldier girl.  Now they have liberty gagged.
By boat, by tram, by motorbus, could it be the fates are protecting us
from the hawks that have stolen the bird from the sky.

And I know you will always love sorrow.
Is that why you gave her dress to happiness?
Cause it matches her eyes when she cries.

General Joy, it seems you don't love your bride.
Generally, you're friends but she is not the love of your life.
To dye, to perm, to change your hair,
or your wife, the possibilities are there and its time for you to decide.

General Joy, I know, I know you'll take me there but you'll need strength from within.
General Joy, it seems you need a soldier girl and a willing coalition.
By boat, by tram, by motorbus, could it be the hawks are protecting us
from the men who have now assumed their name?

And I know you will always love sorrow.
Is that why you gave her dress to happiness?
Cause it matches her eyes when she cries.


Mother Revolution

Lucky me, I guessed the kind of man that you would turn out to be.
Now I wish that I'd been wrong and then I could remember to breathe.
And all along the watchtower, the night horses and the black mares
ready themselves for the outcome for the strange times upon us.

But what you didn't count on was another mother of a mother revolution.
But what you didn't count on was another mother of a mother revolution.
You could've had me, you could've had me, you could've had me right there beside you.
you could've had me, boy, you could've had me, yeah,
you could've had me right there beside you.

A wife on loan in a cafe' in old El Paso.
Next I go to Seven Gates and my sister's Bass Bonanza.
And all along her watchtower, the night horses and the black mares
steady themselves for the outcome for the strange days upon us.

But what you didn't count on was another mother of a mother revolution.
But what you didn't count on was another mother of a mother revolution.
You could've had me, you could've had me, you could've had me right there beside you.
you could've had me, boy, you could've had me, yeah,
you could've had me right there beside you.
What you didn't count on was another mother of a mother revolution.


Ribbons Undone

She's a girl, rising from a shell, running to spring.
It is her time, it is her time.  Watch her run with ribbons undone.

She's a rose in a lily's cloak, she can hide her charms.
It is her right, there will be time to chase the sun with ribbons undone.

She runs like a fire does, just picking up daises,
comes in for a landing, a pure flash of lightening.
Past Alice Blue Blossoms, you follow her laughter
and then she'll surprise you, arms filled with lavender.

Yes, my little pony is growing up fast.
She corrects me and says, "you mean a thoroughbred."
A look in her eye says the battle's beginning.
From school she comes home and cries,
"I don't want to grow up, Mom, at least not tonight."

You're a girl rising from a shell, running through Spring.
It is your time, it is your time, so just run with ribbons undone.
It is your time, yes, my angel, it is your time, so just run with ribbons undone.
Run, darling run, with ribbons un...


Cars And Guitars

If I choke, boy, you start me up again, restring my wires y'know
this gearbox can make the shift polish my rims.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't, I swear it seems of late boy,
I've even curved this body to fit your bow.

Still the rain can't confuse the thoughts that come, come in rhythm.
Cause it never was the cars and guitars that came between us.
Still a thought says, what if I keep on driving, keep on driving?

"Yeah that whip has skirt," you said it proud,
sometimes I'd watch her idle while you'd tune her up, me with my silencer on.
You and your crocodile clip, me and my alligator pears, yeah,
all tricked out for the trip that slid into a spin.

Still the rain can't confuse the thoughts that come, come in rhythm.
Cause it never was the cars and guitars that came between us.
Still a thought says, what if I keep on driving, keep on driving?

You say that "I miss you," you stop in at my drive-thru,
you know you'll order some, some, boy.
Cause it never was the Cars and Guitars that came between us.
Still a thought says, what if I keep on driving, keep on driving, keep on driving?

If I choke, boy, you start me up again, restring my wires y'know
this gearbox can make the shift polish my rims.


Witness

Thought I had a witness, thought I had a witness.
Thought I had a witness to this crime, thought I had a witness
Thought we were on the same side of becoming.
Then the judges called in a witness, come on.

So then, when did you then, begin your craving for white powder,
exotic matter that cells divide, arresting time?

So in your furnace, then, you drank my tenderness,
feldspar and mica then, you thought that you would own my temple of gold.

Gotta rise in the night, pick myself off the floor.
I know now that it's over, had a life before.
You left me burning in your petrol emotion, your petrol emotion, wanting more.

Thought I had a witness, come on.  Thought we had a friendship, come on.
Thought I heard you, whispering murder.
Thought this witches brew was more than bulletproof.
But words are like guns when you shoot the moon cause everybody whispers, come on.

Is there anyone?  Is it any wonder.  I'm out the door.
Is there any way?  Is there any way forward?
Thought I had a witness, thought you were you.
Thought I was a witness, you could turn to, not in.

Thought I had a witness to this crime.  Thought I had a witness, come on...


Original Sinsuality

There was a garden in the beginning, before the fall, before Genesis.
There was a tree there, a tree of knowledge.  Sophia would insist you must eat of this.

Original Sin?  No, I don't think so.  Original sinsuality.
Original Sin?  No, it should be original sensuality.
Original Sin?  No, I don't think so.  Original sinsuality.

Yaldaboath, Saklas, I'm calling you.  Samael, you are not alone, I say.
You are not alone in your Darkness, you are not alone, baby, you are not alone.


Ireland

Driving in my Saab on my way to Ireland, it's been a long time, it's been a long time.
Driving with my friends on my way to Ireland, it's been a long time it's been a long time.

So when I was out in the desert and a cowboy tried to lasso me,
he said you're red and made of clay, a virgin portrait.
I let him wake me but decided not to stay.
Next in New York, I fell out with a dragon of the white collar kind but just as ferocious.
I remembered Macha running faster than the horses,
then an encounter with a voice that caressed me.

Driving in my Saab on my way to Ireland, it's been a long time, it's been a long time.
Driving with my friends on my way to Ireland, it's been a long time it's been a long time.

Wasn't it you who held off a surrender to one spoiled nun,
who taught you the names of the mountains on the moon?
And then a Jesuit proceeded to arrange your soul while I prayed on my knees.

Driving in my Saab on my way to Ireland, it's been a long time, it's been a long time.
Driving with my friends on my way to Ireland, it's been a long time it's been a long time.


The Beekeeper

Flaxen hair blowing in the breeze, it is time for the geese to head south.
I have come with my mustard seed, I cannot accept that she will be taken from me.
"Do you know who I am," she said,
"I'm the one who taps you on the shoulder when it's your time.
Don't be afraid, I promise that she will awake tomorrow, somewhere.
Tomorrow, somewhere."

Wrap yourself around the Tree of Life and the Dance of the Infinity of the Hive,
take this message to Michael.

I will comb myself into chains in between the tap dance clan and your ballerina gang.
I have come for the Beekeeper, I know you want my, you want my Queen,
anything but this can you use me instead?
"Do you know who I am'" she said,
"I'm the one who taps you on the shoulder when it's your time.
Don't be afraid, I promise that she will awake tomorrow, somewhere.
Tomorrow, somewhere."

In your gown with your breathing mask, plugged into a heart machine,
as if you ever needed one.
I must see the Beekeeper, I must see if she'll keep her alive, call Engine 49.
I have come with my mustard seed.
"Do you know who I am," she said,
"I'm the one who taps you on the shoulder when it's your time.
Don't be afraid, I promise that she will awake tomorrow, somewhere.
Tomorrow, somewhere.?

Maybe I'm passing you by, just passing you by, girl,
I'm passing you by on my way, on my way.
I'm just passing you by but don't be confused, one day I'll be coming for you.
I must see the Beekeeper, I must see the Beekeeper.


Martha's Foolish Ginger

Take a walk down memory lane with me past a watermelon stand on the way,
thinking I had everything we'd need on Martha's foolish ginger.
You were late, how could I forget what you said, the part about that
love taking over your life was not in your plan.

If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland,
who knows what I would have done.
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland,
who knows what I would have done.

Through the cliffs, out of the bay I went,
from the starboard side I could block my visions and my passions, they keep me awake.

If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland,
who knows what I would have done.
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland,
who knows what I would have done, what I would have done.

A familiar voice, "Hi, surprise.  I've been searching trying to find you."
I couldn't speak, my hands reached for Martha's foolish ginger.
We talked until the moon came up about how life without love
isn't worth very much, then I played this song.

If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland,
who knows what I would have done.
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland,
who knows what I would have done, what I would have done.

"Memories that we have yet," you said, "to make like our burning bed."
Love, don't mistake that it wasn't safe on Martha's Foolish Ginger.


Hoochie Woman

Oh, oh oh, hoochie woman, hoochie woman, hoochie woman, hoochie woman.

I wasn't thinking, my head was in the book.  His hands were on her everywhere.
I saw his face, I dropped my coffee, he's cheating on me with a hoochie woman.

Ooo ooo ooo, you can keep your hoochie.  Ooo ooo ooo, you can keep the house.
Ooo ooo ooo, and the bank accounts cause boy I bring home the bacon.

I went to work and the office girls were all burning their poetry.
It wasn't good but in the neighborhood, now they're all just a hoochie woman.

Ooo ooo ooo, you can keep your hoochie.  Ooo ooo ooo, you can keep the house.
Ooo ooo ooo, and the bank accounts cause boy I bring home the bacon.
I said, boys I bring home the bacon now.

He called me up and said "she has needs."
I said "you'll find 'em on Barney's fourth floor."
He said "I need a loan."  That's not a problem.
You better keep this from your hoochie woman.

Ooo ooo ooo, you can keep your hoochie.  Ooo ooo ooo, you can keep the house.
Ooo ooo ooo, and the bank accounts cause boy I bring home the bacon.
I said, girls, I bring home the bacon now.


Goodbye Pisces

I don't, I don't know why, in your boy's life you become like a bull,
like a bull in a china shop, smash it up into smithereens.

There you, there you go again, breaking, breaking porcelain.
Is that all I am, just a doll you got used to?
We've done, we've done this before as Mars sauntered through his door.
Don't say it's time to say goodbye to Pisces, goodbye to Pisces.

I cried and I washed my tears that turned into diamond,
ice into ice and if it could freeze, my heart wouldn't float away.

There we, there we go again, breaking, breaking porcelain.
Is that all we are, just some dolls we've got used to?
We've done, we've done this before as Mars sauntered through his door.
Don't say it's time to say goodbye to Pisces, goodbye to Pisces.

So how, how will I go?  Back on, back on the shelf
with a smile with a smile, to the customer and say ˜on sale by the owner?"

Here I, here I go again, breaking , breaking porcelain.
Is that all I am, just a doll you got used to?
We've done, we've done this before as Mars sauntered through his door.
Don't say it's time to say goodbye to Pisces, goodbye to Pisces, goodbye my Pisces.


Marys Of The Sea

Hey, I am not in your way.  Hey, no need to push me again.
I know it's your day in the sun,
last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone.
Relax, love, he said before he left.
Take those hands away from your eyes.  From where I stand you're in my sky.

You must go, must flee for they will hunt you down,
you and your unborn seed in all of Gaul, is there safety?
Les Saint Marie de la Mer, you will dance the ring.
Marys of the Sea, the lost bride weeps.
Les Saint Marie de la Mer, we will dance your ring.

Hey, there's a new Jerusalem.  Hey, you built on rock, that's on sand.
For now you have hijacked the son.
Last time I checked, he came to light the lamp for everyone.

I hear a voice and it says,
The red of the red rose is it's own and something no man can divide.
So St. Germain, hear the prayer of this supplicant for two scarlet women, black Madonna.

Hey, I am not in your way.  Hey, no need to push me again.
I know it's your day in the sun, I know it's your day in the sun.
Hey, I am not in your way.  Hey, no need to push me again.
I know it's your day in the sun.
Last time I checked, he came to light the lamp for everyone.


Toast

I thought it was Easter time, the way the light rose, rose that morning.
Lately you've been on my mind, you showed me the rope ropes to climb
over mountains and to pull myself out of a landslide, of a landslide.

I thought it was harvest time.  You always loved the smell of the wood burning.
She with her honey hair, Dalhousie Castle, she would meet you there
in the winter, butter yellow, the flames you stirred, yes, you could stir.

I raise a glass, make a toast, a toast in your honor,
I hear you laugh and beg me not to dance
cause on your right standing by is Mr. Bojangles, with a toast he's telling me it's time
to raise a glass, make a toast, a toast in your honor,
I hear you laugh and beg me not to dance
cause on your right standing by is Mr. Bojangles, with a toast hes' telling me it's time
to let you go, let you go.

I thought I'd see you again, you said you might do,
maybe in a carving in a cathedral somewhere in Barcelona.
