I've been casing your joint
For the best years of my life
Like the look of your stuff
Out of sight
When i'm hungry
And when i'm cold
When im havin' it rough
Or just gettin' old
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have i got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue
Better man the barricades
I'm coming in tonight
Had a line of my dust
Out of sight
When i wander
And when i roam
I'll find a soul i can trust
I'm coming home
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have i got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue
(Sing it)
I'm gonna break right into heaven
I cant wait anymore
Heavens gates won't hold me
I'll saw those suckers down
Laughing loud at your locks
When they hit the ground
Every icon
In every town
Hear this, your number's up
I'm coming 'round
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have i got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue
I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore
How many times
Do i have to tell you
You dont have to wait to die
You can have it all
Anytime you want it
Yeah, the kingdom's all inside
. . .

Driving south round midnight, man I must have been insane
Driving south round midnight in a howling hurricane
I stopped for an old man hitcher at a lonely old crossroad
He said, 'I'm going nowhere
And I'm only here to see if I can steal your soul'
'I'm not tryin' to make you, I don't want to touch your skin,
I know all there is to know about you and all your sins
Well, you ain't too young or pretty and you sure as hell can't sing
Any time you want to sell your soul
I've got a toll-free number you can ring'
Yeah, that's what I thought he said anyway
'I'm not tryin' to make you, I don't want to touch your skin,
I know all there is to know about you and all your sins.
Well, you ain't too young or pretty and you sure as hell can't sing,
any time you want to sell your soul
I've got a toll-free number you can ring'
'Oh-eight-oh-oh-triple-six-oh, yeah
Oh-eight-oh-oh-triple-six-oh, yeah'
I stopped for an old man hitcher at a lonely old crossroad,
he said, 'I'm going nowhere
And I'm only here to see if I can steal your soul'

When your heart is black and broken
And you need a helping hand
When you're so much in love
You don't know just how much you can stand
When your questions go unanswered
And the silence is killing you
Take my hand baby I'm your man
I got loving enough for two
Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you
Who can take you higher than twin peak mountain blue?
Oh well, I built this thing for you
And I love you true
There's no sure-fire set solutions
No shortcut through the trees
No breach in the wall that they put there to keep you from me
As you're lying awake in this darkness
This everlasting night
Some day soon don't know where or when
You're gonna wake up and see the light
Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you
Who can take you higher than twin peak mountain blue?
Oh well, I built this thing for you
And I love you true
Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you
Who can take you higher than twin peak mountain blue?
Oh well, I built this thing for you
And I love you true
. . .

This is the daybreak, and this is the love we make
For love us the law here, you've got to know how I love it, yeah
It's more than a mover, you know it takes off fast, or slow
Stone cold wild, bring the love in son, brother, man
True nature child, I think I'll sing it
For Atlanta Georgia, to Longsight Manchester
Everyone ready, so, so willing and able, yeah, yeah, yeah
For the love you make, g'no sis'
She willing to make ya, we all love makers ain't we?
Sister Rosa Lee Parks, lock forever her name in your heart
Forever in my heart
As I sing on this song, someone just got rolled on, hey
oh hey, yeah, wooh yeah
New York City, to Addis Ababababa
Keep on keeping strong, keep on keeping on
So why no stack for black on a radio station in this, the city?
Been going on so long, level on the line, I'm a leaf on the vine of time
Black bones are the original bones
And so this the whole wide world should know, y'all
I came to sing this song in your city
Ooh, for the dreamers
One more for the dreamers, yeah
. . .

Your star will shine again one day
Through deep blue velvet skies
Shine for all the world to see
The universe in your eyes
When the storm outside is raging
And the dogs, they howl your name
Lay down, sleep, I'll kiss you
Your star will shine again
Na na na na na na na na
Hush my darling, don't you cry
I'll stay by your side until morning
All through the night I'll watch the skies
And your distant sun
Will shine like the gun
That's trained right between your Daddy's eyes
. . .

Saw this revelation, caused devastation
An initiation, all you'd better beware
Who'll cast the first stone?
Skin to the bone bring it all on home
Bring it all for Jerome
So new castle build a brand new castle
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

On an island of traders
You know they're trying to fade ya
No-one can train you
No-one evade you

Saying Don't be late

Heading straight for the man
Oh you know they'll never evade you
So now I stand here
Love cuts down a revolver
Amsterdam is Sodom and Gomorrah
So I'm singing to King Stone
Our teaching it's on
They say it's a fable
Though I was made able
I slipped through the net
Wanna bet it's a ramble, a sandstorm
One slip you know you'll never forget
Who could ever forget?
You know I never forget
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do straight to the man
Oh you know they're trying to fade you
Saw this revelation, caused devastation

Yeah the eyes of Grand Bretagne owes a debt
Say the eyes of Grand Bretagne
All the eyes of Grand Bretagne

Yeah the eyes of Grand Bretagne
All eyes of Grand Bretagne owes us a debt

I'm begging you,
I'm begging you.
The fly on the coachwheel told me that he got it
and he knew what to do with it,
Everybody saw it, saw the dust that he made
King bee in a frenzy, ready to blow, got the horn good to go wait
Oh, his sting's all gone, now he's begging you, begging you
Here is a warning, the sky will divide
Since I took off the lid, there's nowhere to hide
Now I'm begging you, I'm begging you
This is a mystery not to be solved
But be minded, like minded, I'm gone
Still I'm with you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you
Give it over, give it over
Give it over, give it begging you
Give it over, give it over
Give it over, yeah I'm begging you, I'm begging you
Weigh it and say it, is it all in a name
Does it call you or maul you and drive you insane
Can it make you remember, time is in place
Now I'm begging you, I'm begging you
The fly on the coachwheel told me that he got it
and he knew what to do with it
Everybody saw it, saw the dust that he made
Make all the dust that you can, make all the dust that you can
King bee in a frenzy ready to blow
. . .

You should have been an angel, it would've suited you
My gold-leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do
In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets
I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete
And I know I'll never want another lover, my sweet
Can there be more in this world than the
joy of just watching you sleep?
I don't know just what to feel
Won't someone tell me my love's real?
Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand
Waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?
Will the sun shine all sweetness and light
Burn us to a cinder, our third stone satellite?
I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high
Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky
I'm on a tightrope, one thing I've found
I don't know how to stop, and it's a
long, long, long, long way down
She's all that ever mattered, and all that ever will
My cup, it runneth over, I'll never get my fill
The boats in the harbour, slip from their chains
Head for new horizons, let's do the same
I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high
Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky
I'm on a tightrope, one thing I've found
I don't know how to stop, and it's a tightrope baby
nine miles high
Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky
I'm on a tightrope, one thing I've found
I don't know how to stop, and it's a
long, long, long, long way down
. . .

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
I'll tell you my story man, I wish I'd never been born
I'm loose at the seams, I've broken my dreams
And my hand, it shakes the pen
Come on, come on, now, baby, let the good times roll again, yeah
Where did our sweet love go, who stole away our time?
Why do the stars above refuse to shine?
The harder I try to paint a picture of the way it was back then
The more I miss the good times, baby, let it roll again
Good times, baby, this is the time
I need to know that your love is mine
Love me up yeah, you reel me in, I'm hooked, line and sinker
She's my heroin
How many days have I been lying on my back?
Staring at the ceiling, girl, streching on your rack
The harder I try to paint a picture of the way it was back then
The more I miss the good times, baby, let it roll again
Good times, baby, this is the time
I need to know that your love is mine
love me up yeah, you reel me in, I'm hooked, line and sinker
She's my heroin
Said I'm hooked now, I'm not fakin', I'm here till the day I die
Can't get enough now, my heart is aching, I'm in to deep to stop
All I want is those, good times, baby, show me a sign
I need to know that your love is mine
Love me up yeah, yeah, reel me in, I'm hooked, line and sinker
She's my heroin

Our love girl is going through changes
I don't know if I'm alive, dead, dying
Or just a little jaded
Someone throw me a line
You know I need it, I need it bad
Lost in a maze of my own making
No way out that I can find
Send home your hard working jury
I'm going down this time
You better believe it, yes you had
So if you hear me crying
Or talking in my sleep
Don't be afraid
It's just the hours that I keep
We gotta love to last for a million years
A love that could never fade
Through the tracks of your tears
All I can do is hope that you will see me fall
Do your best to smash my picture on your wall
Forgive me baby
Absolve me my dear
I've seen the future in the tracks of your tears
I've seen the future in the tracks of your tears
Of your tears
All those tears
I cast a shorter shadow with every passing day
No time to think I'm just fading away
Some kind of magic in all your hopes and fears
Shows me the future through the tracks of your tears
. . .

I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead
All dressed up for dinner looked so fine
You shining silver salver so tastefully powdered
With the finest military quick lime
Now try and picture this as I gave you a kiss
The apple in your mouth slipped in mine
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade
We laughed as we put away your wine
So raise your glasses here's a toast to wasted lives
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you
and tell you how they died
How do you sleep?
How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now?
Does it mean anymore when the angel of death
Comes knock knocking and banging at your door?
When all the fun was over
I put you on my shoulder
Took you home away from it all
Shot down and claimed
Mounted and framed
Tastefully hung upon my wall
Are my dreams your nightmares?
I hope they all come true
Get off your knees
The party's over
I'm coming home to you
How do you sleep?
How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now?
Does it mean anymore when the angel of death
Comes knock knocking and banging at your door?
At your door?

Love spreads her arms, waits there for the nails
I forgive you boy, I will prevail
Too much time to take, some cross to bear
I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic, she's over there
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Cold black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again
Chorus: Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen * 2
I have a dream, I've seen the light
Dont put it out, say she's alright
Yeah she's my sister
She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Cold black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again
Oh Oh
repeat the chorus seven times
I have a dream, Ive seen the light
Don't put it out, says she's alright
yeah she's my sister!
