A Waste Of Time

Another waste of time
Another sort of step along the way
A waste of time
A waste but an interest in delay
Was it all of a waste
Or was it fun
People fly far away

A waste of time
Almost not too clear a lesson not to play
Exercice perhaps in sensual decay
Hard to love and to see how the land lay
How to love, what to say

Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing, nothing left to say
A waste of time
At least some company along the way
Great visions
Perhaps too fast too bright but anyway
And I'll be what you be
You wanna say
You think you wanna say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing, nothing left to say

How to love and to see how the land lay
How to laugh, what to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing, nothing left to say

Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I lov'd, I lov'd alone.
Then — in my childhood — in the dawn
Of a most stormy life — was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
To mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold —
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by —
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

As Tears Go By

It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

My riches can't buy everything,
I want to hear the children sing.
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Doing things I used to do
They think are new,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm ...

Before The Poison

Before the poison
I wasn't down,
If you'd been there
If you'd been around
I couldn't hear
Couldn't hear a sound
I was floating
Above the ground

Before the poison
I'd lost my fear
Maybe too happy,
To even care
Safe in my dreams
Couldn't see the fall
coming on, coming from nowhere
My name to call

No more to say
Nothing's coming my way
No you, no me
No more, how can it be
Nowhere to run
Out of nowhere, poison
This is the end
What's left for you, my friend

Before the poison
I'd laugh out loud
I'd see your face
In any crowd
But speak softly
Without fear
Hold on to me
Hold me near

No more to say
Nothing's coming my way
No you, no me
No more, how can it be
Nowhere to run
Out of nowhere, poison
This is the end
What's left for you, my friend?
What's left for you, my friend?
What's left for you, my friend?
What's left for you...?

Blood In My Eyes

Woke up this morning, feeling blue
Seen a good looking girl, can I make love with you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.

I went back home, put on my tie
Gonna get that girl that money will buy
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
She looked at me, begin to smile
Said, "Hey, hey, man, can't you wait a little while?"
No, no babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
No, no babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.

No, no, ma'am, I can't wait
You got my money, now you're trying to break this date
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.

I'll tell you something, tell you the facts
You don't want to give my money back
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do

Broken English

Could have come through anytime,
Cold lonely, puritan
What are you fighting for ?
It's not my security.

It's just an old war,
Not even a cold war,
Don't say it in Russian,
Don't say it in German.
Say it in broken English,
Say it in broken English.

Lose your father, your husband,
Your mother, your children.
What are you dying for ?
It's not my reality.

It's just an old war,
Not even a cold war,
Don't say it in Russian,
Don't say it in German.
Say it in broken English,
Say it in broken English.

What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?

What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?

Could have come through anytime,
Cold lonely, puritan.
What are you fighting for ?
It's not my security.

It's just an old war,
Not even a cold war,
Don't say it in Russian,
Don't say it in German.
Say it in broken English,
Say it in broken English.

Say it in broken English,
Say it in broken English.

What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting ...

Crazy Lady Blues

This morning too didn't rise before noon
She's a lazy lady today.
Always young and new with your eyes on the moon,
You're a crazy lady like you said.
Crazy lady.

Now should I say more before I know you so well ?
You're no hazy maiden in gray.
How can I be sure ? It's not easy to tell,
But you're a crazy lady like you said.
Crazy lady.

Dreamin' My Dreams

I hope that I won't be that lone anymore
Maybe I've learned this time.
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for,
The way that is easin' my mind.

Some day I'll get over you,
I'll live to see it all through,
But I'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.

But I won't let it change me, not if I can,
I'd rather believe in love.
I'll give it away as much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of.

Some day I'll get over you,
I'll live to see it all through,
But I'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.

La, la la, la la la, la la,
La la, la la, la la.
La la la la, la la la la la,
La la, la la, la la.

Some day I'll get over you,
I'll live to see it all through,
But I'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.

But I'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.

Irony

The ones you want don't ever call
And at he same time the others that call
Are the ones you fear seeing at all.

Irony, irony
Irony, irony.

Things aren't meant to be this clear
It's not what you want, it's something you fear
A silk screened image and nothing too clear.

Irony, irony
Irony, irony.

At least you know which way to throw your chances
Stop listening to the lmusic for your silent dances
And don't blame me for my non-political stances.

Irony, irony
Irony, irony.

At least you know which way to throw your chances
Stop listening to the lmusic for your silent dances
And don't blame me for my non-political stances.

Irony, irony
Irony, irony.

Over Here

Over here i'll damage them
Before they damage me.
Over here commit them all
They'll never be believed.

No right for justice
No right for peace.
No right for justice
No right for peace.

Over here, we're standing clear
My voice gives me away.
Over here, we're running wild
Whatever games we play.

No time for justice
No time for peace.
No time for justice
No time for peace.

Get a message out for me
I'll tell them all they want to know.
If i can just be free.
I'll leave this place, go far away,
They'll never hear from me again.
I'll cause no trouble, feel no pain.

Over here it's hide and seek
Get on the midnight train.
Over here they'll lock you up
And call you filthy names.

No right for justice
No right for peace.
No right for justice
No right for peace.

No time for justice
No time for peace.
No time for justice
No time for peace.

Over here

Over here
No time for justice
Over here
No time for peace

Over here.

Sister Morphine

Here I lie in my hospital bed,
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again.
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long,
Oh, you see I'm not that strong.

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears.
Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here ?
What am I doing in this place ?
Why does the doctor have no face ?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor.
Can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm just trying to score.

Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem.
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmare into dreams.
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be my last.

Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head.
Hey, Sister Morphine, you'd better make up my bed
For you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead,
And you can sit around and you can watch the clean white sheets stained red.
