Not open for further replies.
With loving hands
And their arms are stretched so wide they can't seem to take a breath
Knowing evil will prevail
And a million people seems like a lot
And a million people
Can't be wrong

With loving smiles
And their mouths are stretched so wide they cn't even take a breath
Knowing evil will prevail
And the magic bullet is the glowing mothership
And the mother
Zaps you dead

With loving hands
Knowing evil will prevail
Knowing evil will always win

*Having spent the duration of that song typing out the lyrics I'm going to have to post the next song on the album too*

You're sort of stuck where you are
But in your dreams you can buy expensive cars
Or live on mars, and have it your way

You hate your boss at your job
But in your dreams you can blow his head off
In your dreams show no mercy

And all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You've gotta sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end
 
There's a war goin on
outside, no man is safe from
You could run but you
can't hide forever
from these, streets, that we done
took
You walkin witcha head down scared to look
You
shook, cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
They never around when the beef cooks in my part of town
It's similar to Vietnam
Now we all grown up and old,
and beyond the cop's control
They better have the riot
gear ready
Tryin to bag me and get rocked steady
by
the mac one-double, I touch you
and leave you with not much
to go home wit
My skin is thick, cause I be up in the mix
of action
if I'm not at home, puffin lye relaxin
 
Nobody's been comin round your way
Have you been hearing wat they say?
They were your buddies yesterday
But you took too long to pay

Have you heard the latest news
about the cat that got slapped and bashed and bruised
Yeah, I wouldn't wanna be in his shoes
Now the kid's got fuckall to lose
broken friendships too hard to mention
ran round in venture
only invention
as we step from old to new
Andy knows we always wanted to check the things we do

All those kids who were your mates
You've let them sitting on their hate
When you're asleep or you're awake
You cannot hide from your mistake

Has he checked the fresh tickets?
get my fuckin money or you get my fuckin fist
personality switchin' twitchin
Like the girls in the springer show bitchin'
boy's in major shit now
Hasn't even got a little bit now
cuz he was out on the town
knockin drinks down
spendin all his money
and throwin it around

Nobody's been comin round your way
Have you been hearing wat they say?
They were your buddies yesterday
But you took way too long to pay

All the kids who were your mates
You've left them sitting on their hate
When you're asleep or you're awake
You cannot hide from your mistake

Have you seen where stevie's been?
Well, i've seen him round the way,
If you know wat i mean...
where?
well, he was at the club last night
drinkin with a girl and she looked a bit alright
What the fuck is he doin?
Spending all my money on a girl now im screwin
I only ticked him for a favour
and he pays me back with that kinda behaviour?

And that just seems to be the way things go down
just enjoyance to the point of no return
lets get paid lets just get paid

And that just seems to be the way things go down
just enjoyance to the point of no return
lets get paid lets just get paid

And that just seems to be the way things go down
just enjoyance to the point of no return
lets get paid lets just get paid
 
A la belle étoile
J'ai vu ton visage gris
T'avais un chagrin d'amour
Les mensonges, c'est désespéré

Où est la cavalière?
Tu n'es plus brave
Je t'ai perdue dans la foule
Tu as coulé sous les flots


La mer était calme mais il pleuvait sans cesse
J'ai compté les bateaux, j'ai compté la tristesse
Et combien de vies cela a-t-il coûté?
Et combien de vies cela a-t-il coûté?


Avé Maria

I want to cover that song one day :cool:
 
Well he came home from the war
with a party in his head
and modified Brougham DeVille
and a pair of legs that opened up
like butterfly wings
and a mad dog that wouldn't
sit still
he went and took up with a Salvation Army
Band girl
who played dirty water
on a swordfishtrombone
he went to sleep at the bottom of
Tenkiller lake
and he said "gee, but it's
great to be home."

Well he came home from the war
with a party in his head
and an idea for a fireworks display
and he knew that he'd be ready with
a stainless steel machete
and a half a pint of Ballentine's
each day
and he holed up in room above a hardware store
cryin' nothing there but Hollywood tears
and he put a spell on some
poor little Crutchfield girl
and stayed like that for 27 years

Well he packed up all his
expectations he lit out for California
with a flyswatter banjo on his knee
with a lucky tiger in his angel hair
and benzedrine for getting there
they found him in a eucalyptus tree
lieutenant got him a canary bird
and shaked her head with every word
and Chesterfielded moonbeams in a song
and he got 20 years for lovin' her
from some Oklahoma governor
said everything this Doughboy
does is wrong

Now some say he's doing
the obituary mambo
and some say he's hanging on the wall
perhaps this yarn's the only thing
that holds this man together
some say he was never here at all

Some say they saw him down in
Birmingham, sleeping in a
boxcar going by
and if you think that you can tell a bigger tale
I swear to God you'd have to tell a lie...
 
I love to see you free and dancing
You are my angel and my plaything
Your many ways have set my heart ablaze
It's you who puts my soul in ecstasy

You are my angel and my plaything
Your motion I find so entrancing
Shall I stand next to your fire?
Smoke rings rise higher and higher
You are my angel and my plaything

If I'm your rose you are my sun and rain
And the northern lights will shine again and again
If I'm your rose you are my sun and rain

In the heat of the night, in the light of the day
As is given can also be taken away
In the heat of the night in the light of the day
I remove anything that can stand in our way

I'll be your rose that sets your heart ablaze
 
Stand up against the wall
So I can make you out
Do do you wanna be it?
You take the power out.
One day we'll be wandering…


Girl you'll be a dandy
And a deserter
You sit astride your horses
Dressed as Nelson


I wanna see her
I wanna see her
I wanna see her with her horses
Oh yeah

I bet I'd like your underwear
I bet I'd like your underwear
I bet I'd like your underwear


You got it down
You got it down
Uh huh
You got it down
You got it down
 
I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard and you wanted to tell me


I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard and you wanted to tell me
Oh I don't want to hear it


Turn it up yeah yeah…


I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard and you wanted to tell me


That you're the man
That you're the man
That you're the man, you've got all of the answers
I don't think you do


Turn it up yeah yeah…
 
Unemployments rising
In the Chigley end of town.
And it's speading like pneumonia;
Doesn't look like going down.
There's trouble at the fire station;
Someone's had the sack.
And the lads are going to launch a scheme
To get rid of Captain Black.

Tell PC McGarry
To get himself a mate.
And arm themselves with C. S. Gas
They're gonna be out late.
We've had calm conformers in since 1966.
And now subversions in the air
In the shape of flying bricks!

Chorus:
Someone get a message through
To Captain Snort
That they better start assembling
The boys from the fort.
Keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,
'Cause there's gonna be riot
Down in Trumpton Tonight.

All this aristocracy
Has really got to stop.
We'll overthrow the surgery
And kidnap Doctor Mop
And Chicley Militant Socialists
Will storm the market square
And make plans to assasinate
Our autocratic mayor!

Windy Militant rages past
With Corn grinders to war
With windmill sails and bombs with nails
They smash the town hall door.
But Snorty and the boys arrive
With one big erstwhile (?) crew
Whereupon they bring about
A military coup.
 
My girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time party all the time.
My girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time.

She parties all the time - party all the time
She likes to party all the time - party all the time
Party all the time - she likes to party all the time
Party all the time.

(yawn)
 
This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
(oh oh oh)
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio
 
i know what i said
was heat of the moment
but theres a little truth in between the words we've spoken
its a little late now to fix a heart thats broken
please dont ask me where i'm going
cuz i dont know
no i dont know anymore

it used to feel like heaven
used to feel like may
i used to hear those violins playing heart strings like a symphony
now they've gone away
nobody wants to face the truth
but you wont believe what love can do
till it happens to you
till it happens to you

went to the old flat
guess i was trying to turn the clock back
how come that nothing feels the same now when im with you
we used to stay up all night in the kitchen
when our love was new
oooh love am I a fool to believe in you?
cuz i dont know
no i dont know
anymore

it used to feel like heaven
it used to feel like may
i used to hear those violins playing heart strings like a symphony
now they've gone away
nobody wants to know the truth
until their hearts broken
dont you dare tell them
what you think to do
till they get over
you can only learn these things
from experience
when you get older
i just wish that someone would have told me
till it happpens to you
till it happens to you
till it happens to you
 
Come to me, in those open arms,
Where I wanna be,
Living free

I need to be, I need to be,
Your love
Yeahheahhh ...

Inner-city life, inner-city pressure,
Inner-city life, inner-city pressure.

Taking over me, yeah
But I won't let go, I won't let go.
Your love
 
Giving all the love I feel for you
Couldn't make you change your point of view
You're leavin'
Now I'm sittin' here, I'm wastin' my time
I just don't know what I should do
 
Tom joad got out of the old mcalester pen;
There he got his parole
After four long years on a man killing charge
Tom joad come a-walkin' down the road, poor boy
Tom joad come a-walkin' down the road

Tom joad, he met a truck driving man;
There he caught him a ride
He said, "i just got loose from mcalester pen
On a charge called homicide
A charge called homicide."

That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust;
Tommy turned his face toward home
He met preacher casey, and they had a little drink
But they found that his family they was gone
He found that his family they was gone

He found his mother's old fashion shoe
Found his daddy's hat
And he found little muley and muley said
"They've been tractored out by the cats
They've been tractored out by the cats."

Tom joad walked down to the neighbor's farm
Found his family
They took preacher casey and loaded in a car
And his mother said, "we've got to get away."
His mother said, "we've got to get away."

Now, the twelve of the joads made a mighty heavy load;
But grandpa joad did cry
He picked up a handful of land in his hand
Said: "I'm stayin' with the farm till I die
Yes, I'm stayin' with the farm till I die."

They fed him short ribs and coffee and soothing syrup;
And grandpa joad did die
They buried grandpa joad by the side of the road
Grandma on the california side
They buried grandma on the california side

They stood on a mountain and they looked to the west
And it looked like the promised land
That bright green valley with a river running through
There was work for every single hand, they thought
There was work for every single hand

The joads rolled away to the jungle camp
There they cooked a stew
And the hungry little kids of the jungle camp
Said: "we'd like to have some, too."
Said: "we'd like to have some, too."

Now a deputy sheriff fired loose at a man
Shot a woman in the back
Before he could take his aim again
Preacher casey dropped him in his track, poor boy
Preacher casey dropped him in his track

They handcuffed casey and they took him in jail;
And then he got away
And he met tom joad on the old river bridge
And these few words he did say, poor boy
These few words he did say

"I preached for the lord a mighty long time
Preached about the rich and the poor
Us workin' folkses, all get together
'Cause we ain't got a chance anymore
We ain't got a chance anymore."

Now, the deputies come, and tom and casey run
To the bridge where the water run down
But the vigilante thugs hit casey with a club
They laid preacher casey on the ground, poor casey
They laid preacher casey on the ground

Tom joad, he grabbed that deputy's club
Hit him over the head
Tom joad took flight in the dark rainy night
And a deputy and a preacher lying dead, two men
A deputy and a preacher lying dead

Tom run back where his mother was asleep;
He woke her up out of bed
An' he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved
Said what preacher casey said, tom joad
He said what preacher casey said

"Ever'body might be just one big soul
Well it looks that a-way to me
Everywhere that you look, in the day or night
That's where I'm a-gonna be, ma
That's where I'm a-gonna be

Wherever little children are hungry and cry
Wherever people ain't free
Wherever men are fightin' for their rights
That's where I'm a-gonna be, ma
That's where I'm a-gonna be
 
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But It's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish some one out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone

Read between the lines what's
Fucked up and everything's all right
Check my vital signs and know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
 
They'll be making sure you stay amused
They'll fill you up with drugs and booze
Maybe you'll make the evening news

And when you're tripping over your dreams
They'll keep you down by any means
and by the end of the night you'll be stifling your screams

Since you became a VIPerson
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know

And they'll just put you in the spotlight
And hope that you'll do alright
Or maybe not

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
So why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Starz in their eyes?

Remember they said you'd show them all
Emphasise the rise and not the fall
And now you're playing a shopping mall

Your mum and dad they can't believe
What you appear to have achieved
While the rest of these users are just laughing in their sleeves

Since you became a VIPerson
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know

And now the tabloids use your face
To document your fall from grace
And then they'll tell you that that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
So why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Starz in their eyes?

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

(When I grow up im going to be famous)

Behind the steel barrier and sequence and glitter
Five inch heels still knee deep in the litter
Each of them a bitter bullshitter,
Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamour, getting lost in the camera
Well footprints are fools gold, diamonds crusts on their one off plimsolls
So little time for these one off arseholes
Rigour mortis Ken and Barbie dolls,
A pair of big shades and a push up bra,
It's such a short gap between the gutter and stars,
That you've come a long way from the place that you started
So why'd you wanna go and get so down hearted

Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger
Uncutting you nose clean, coating you bladder
A whole lot happier a whole lot sadder,
Used to be satisfied but now you feel like Mick Jagger,

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines
And Saturday night's drunken dreams
 
What am I doing with myself tonight?
Or tomorrow? I can't get this right
I wish I had friends that could talk
Instead of freezing my ass off on this mindless walk, yeah

And as the late night drivers pass me by
I am anxious, I am waiting
For the dawn in this star city
And relief from my routines

It scares me to death
Until I see my own breath

With you (with you)
I gave up on (I gave up on)
Everything I’ve given up on
Everything that's ever gone wrong
Don't beat yourself up over this
My life doesn't have to be distinguished

A random memory at glance
Of the capitol building at last
I reminisce how small I am
And the insignificance of my problems
Of my problems

With you (with you)
I gave up on (I gave up on)
Everything I’ve given up on
Everything that's ever gone wrong
Don't beat yourself up over this
My life doesn't have to be distinguished

The cold air guides me through everything I’m feeling
No matter what problems I find I’ll make it through them
Before I even have a chance to look behind
I’ll discover new problems in time, new problems I wish I could go back to

With you
I gave up on (wish I could go back to)
Everything I’ve given up on
Everything that's ever gone wrong (wish I could go back to)
Don't beat yourself up over this (wish I could go back to)
My life doesn't have to be distinguished
Wish I could go back to

With you
I gave up on (wish I could go back to)
Everything I’ve given up on
Everything that's ever gone wrong (wish I could go back to)
 
I used to try very hard to make friends with everyone on the planet.
I've seen you havin' it, havin' it yeah
but now you've just had it.
Entertainment can sometimes be hard when the thing
that you love is the same thing that's holding you down.

This man is dangerous, he just shed his load on your best party frock.
Before you enter the palace of wisdom you have to decide:
are you ready to rock?
Oh can you party with me?
Can you show me a good time?
Do you even know what one looks like?

And I don't need to hear your stories again
ust get on the floor & show me what you're made of.
Just what exactly are you made of?

Baby, you're driving me crazy. [x2]

I was having a whale of a time until
your uncle Psychosis arrived.
Why do we have to half kill ourselves just to prove we're alive?
I'm here whenever you need me & whenever you need me I won't be here.

& have you ever stopped to ask yourself?
If you didn't come to party then why did you come here?
Why did you come here?

Baby, you're driving me crazy. [x2]

And do you really know want to know just how come you turned out so dumb?
When the party's over will you
come home with me?

When the party's over will you come home with me? Now the party's
over will you come home to me.
Will you come home to me? [repeated]
 
well you can stay all night if you want to
you can hang out with all of his friends
you can go and meet his mother and father
you better make sure that's where it ends

cause baby, there is one thing you gotta know....

let him read your palm and guess your sign.
let him take you home and treat you fine....
but baby, don't let him waste your time
don't let him waste your time

cause the years fly by in an instant
and you wonder what he's waiting for
and then some skinny bitch walks by in some hotpants
and he's running out the door

so remember that one thing that you gotta know...

let him read your palm
and guess your sign
let him take you home and treat you so fine
but baby, don't let him waste your time

You ain't getting no younger
and you've got nothing to show
so tell him that it's now or never
and then go go go go go!!!

he can have his space and he can take his time
and he can kiss ya where the sun don't shine
baby, don't let him waste your time
don't let him waste your time...
 
Free, alone.
The predawn white light's coming on.
Bottle on the night stand.
I count disasters on my free hand now.

Run for cover, there's a big one coming.
You'll be lucky if you're at ground zero.
No one said that this life was easy.
Did that no one ever live a life this hard?

It gets hard.
The bills are scattered in the yard.
Ashtray monument.
A life spent waiting in cement comes down.

Run for cover, there's a big one coming.
You'll be lucky if it's got your number.
No one said that this life was easy.
Did that no one ever live a life this hard?

After all, it's not that bad.
I still have pictures.
I look back
at all the things that we once did.
You said, "I love you."
I guess you did.

Remember our life.
I did the dishes while you read out loud.
Best friends, strangers now.
Were our kids all we could call common ground?

After all, it's not that bad.
I still have pictures.
I look back
at all the things that we once did.
You said, "I love you."
I guess you did.
 
Big bang, where we going?
What we doing this night?
Feeling drunk already,
Maybe drink got spiked

This is a good time
To start dancing to this song man
A good one DJ
Play the record on man

So where be Joey? Get us a drink a dimp o'whisky
I look at the lady she be shady, but we raving
What ya' doing? Where you going to there after?

She says, "Get the fuck out man,
You seem to be plastered!"
Well we be all the night
Kicking it, staring at girls alight

Well its all good man, what goes on, to think
You can't walk a drunk down the Strand
An' talk about how we missed the whole club queue

Who the fuck are you?

It's heavy, it's on my mind
Cos' you say that you feel just fine
He's racking and stacking them lines
Say calm down dearest

It's heavy, it's on my mind
You say that you feel just fine
He's racking and stacking them lines
Say calm down dearest

Remember shooting shit down the old alleyways
Talking music and tragedies like on holiday
I remember what we doing then
I don't remember that
It's the past it's the future
I don't know how to carry on
Through the rights and wrongs
Kick it like we know the songs
Already we thought we rock steady
Down and on the dancefloor

An' I don't get no fights
When I get angry drunk
Sit down in the corner and
Sulk my fucking socks off

It's heavy, it's on my mind
Cos' you say that you feel just fine
He's racking and stacking them lines
Say calm down dearest

It's heavy, it's on my mind
You say that you feel just fine
He's racking and stacking them lines
Say calm down dearest

It's heavy, it's on my mind
You say that you feel just fine
He's racking and stacking them lines
Say calm down dearest
 
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

I mean it, when I analyze the stench -
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier,
And he was taken from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

Said he was a buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta -
Buffalo soldier in the heart of america.

If you know your history,
Then you would know where you coming from,
Then you wouldnt have to ask me,
Who the eck do I think I am.

Im just a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america.

Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Troddin through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea.

Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america;
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Driven from the mainland to the heart of the caribbean.

Singing, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Troddin through san juan in the arms of america;
Troddin through jamaica, a buffalo soldier# -
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival:
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta.

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy! /fadeout/
 
La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento - e di pensiero.

Sempre un amabile,
Leggiadro viso,
In pianto o in riso, - è menzognero.

È sempre misero
Chi a lei s'affida,
Chi le confida - mal cauto il core!


Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Chi su quel seno - non liba amore!
 
I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
Tried to grow a little wiser
Little better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile
Well I sold a million mirrors
In a shop in Alley Way
But I never saw my face
In any window any day
Well they say your folks are telling you
To be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied
To stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive

Well I've loved a million women
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Brought to me on silver trays
Give me ev'rything I need
To feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Same as when I started

Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive

Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
To keep me satisfied
Do you think you're better ev'ry day?
No I think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive mm
You take your time and take more money
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money
Honey you'll survive

Keep you satisfied
Keep you satisfied
 
Looking at the world
Trough the sunset in your eyes
Trying to make the train
To clear Moroccan skies
Bugs and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American man is five foot tall and you

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen up to what's been said to you

Would you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
Would you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
All on board that train

I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair

Take a train to Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my m,m,m,m,mouth
Cold coffins hang in the square
Charming corporals in the square
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board that train
 
You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
You may find yourself in another part of the world
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
You may ask yourself: well...how did I get here?

Letting the days go by
let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
water flowing underground
Into the blue again
after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
water flowing underground

You may ask yourself
How do I work this?
You may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by
let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
water flowing underground
Into the blue again
after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
water flowing underground

Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
under the water
Carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean

Letting the days go by
let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
water flowing underground
Into the blue again
into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones
there is water underground

You may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
You may ask yourself
Where does that highway GO to?
You may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
You may say to yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Letting the days go by
let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
water flowing underground
Into the blue again
after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
water flowing underground

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Time isn't holding us
Time isn't after us
Letting the days go by
