    She stands twelve feet above the flood
    She stares
    Alone
    Across the water

    The loneliness grows and slowly
    Fills her frozen body
    Sliding downwards

    One by one her senses die
    The memories fade
    And leave her eyes
    Still seeing worlds that never were
    And one by one the bright birds leave her ...

    Starting at the violent sound
    She tries to turn
    But final
    Noiseless
    Slips and strikes her soft dark head
    The water bows
    Receives her
    And drowns her at its ease
    Drowns her at its ease

    I would have left the world all bleeding
    Could I only help you love
    The fleeting shapes
    So many years ago
    So young and beautiful and brave

    Everything was true
    It couldn't be a story

    I wish it was all true
    I wish it couldn't be a story
    The words all left me
    Lifeless
    Hoping
    Breathing like the drowning man

    Oh Fushia
    You leave me
    Breathing like the drowning man
    Breathing like the drowning man

    (Hear me)
    And if I close my mind in fear, please pry it open.
    (See me)
    And if my face becomes sincere, beware...
    (Hold me)
    And when I start to come undone, stitch me together.
    (Save me)
    And when you see me strut, remind me of what left this outlaw torn.
    And I planted my bolo knife in the neck of mad John Finn. I took his wretched life.
    Now I'm over near the bandstand, every hand moving on John Finn's wife...

    "Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together"
    "I've got some real estate here in my bag"
    So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
    And we walked off to look for America

    "Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
    "Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
    It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
    I've gone to look for America

    Laughing on the bus
    Playing games with the faces
    She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
    I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera"

    "Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
    "We smoked the last one an hour ago"
    So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
    And the moon rose over an open field

    "Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
    I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
    Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
    They've all gone to look for America
    All gone to look for America
    All gone to look for America

    Don't want to be an American idiot.
    Don't want a nation under the new media.
    And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
    The subliminal mind-fuck America.

    Welcome to a new kind of tension.
    All across the alien nation.
    Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
    Television dreams of tomorrow.
    We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
    For that's enough to argue.

    Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
    I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
    Now everybody do the propaganda.
    And sing along to the age of paranoia.

    Welcome to a new kind of tension.
    All across the alien nation.
    Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
    Television dreams of tomorrow.
    We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
    For that's enough to argue.

    Don't want to be an American idiot.
    One nation controlled by the media.
    Information Age of hysteria.
    It's calling out to idiot America.

    Welcome to a new kind of tension.
    All across the alien nation.
    Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
    Television dreams of tomorrow.
    We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
    For that's enough to argue.!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The Cure - "A Strange Day"

    Give me your eyes
    That I might see the blind man kissing my hands
    The sun is humming
    My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees
    As he plays on his knees

    And the sand
    And the sea grows
    I close my eyes
    Move slowly through drowning waves
    Going away on a strange day

    And I laugh as I drift in the wind
    Blind
    Dancing on a beach of stone
    Cherish the faces as they wait for the end
    Sudden hush across the water
    And we're here again

    And the sand
    And the sea grows
    I close my eyes
    Move slowly through drowning waves
    Going away
    On a strange day

    My head falls backs
    And the walls crash down
    And the sky
    And the impossible
    Explode
    Held for one moment I remember a song
    An impression of sound
    Then everything is gone
    Forever

    A strange day
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    hope is like a lighthouse keeper's beam
    hope--the master cobbler of our dreams
    for hope believes in desert streams
    the mightiest of stars, the microcosm in a jar
    vast or small, they all revolve on
    hope

    now the path before us lies before our very eyes
    don't you see
    and it leads up to the gateway
    lead me through
    don't you see

    then come and take my hand
    raise up your head
    and dry your eyes
    for up ahead I see
    woh woh yeah
    a ray of peace
    a shining on me

    feel hope
    and feel the sunrise in our minds
    to give hope
    is to enlighten all mankind
    ah, but lose hope and life seems black as blind

    when faith gives way to fear
    when motivation disappears
    all is lost if one abandons hope
    all is lost
    If one abandons hope

    I'm starting on my own
    26 years
    AND HALF OF ONE
    And I'm standing all alone
    I'm not that bad
    In my
    In my heart

    You can judge me
    If you know me so well
    I can't change my spots
    And won't brake out of my shell
    They will commit me
    To a lifetime in hell
    But
    I can't remember where my innocence fell....

    To you....


    Blue like the winter snow in this full moon
    Black like the silhouettes of the trees
    Late blooming flowers lye frozen underneath the stars
    I want you to remember me that way ......

    Far away
    I'll be gone
    Will you wait for me here?
    How long?
    I don't know
    But wait for me here .....

    Still as the river grows in December
    Silent and perfect blinding ice
    Spring keeps her promises
    No cold can keep her back
    I want you to remember me that way

    Far away
    I'll be gone
    Will you wait for me here?
    How long?
    I don't know
    But wait for me here
    Follow
    Don't follow me to where I'll go

    Far away
    I'll be gone
    Will you wait for me here?
    How long?
    I don't know
    But wait for me here
    Follow
    Don't follow me to where I've gone
    Someday you'll take my place
    And I'll wait for you here......

    An Architect's Dream

    Watching the painter painting
    And all the time, the light is changing
    And he keeps painting
    That bit there, it was an accident
    But he's so pleased
    It's the best mistake, he could make
    And it's my favourite piece
    It's just great

    The flick of a wrist
    Twisting down to the hips
    So the lovers begin, with a kiss
    In a tryst
    It's just a smudge
    But what it becomes
    In his hands...
    Curving and sweeping
    Rising and reaching
    I could feel what he was feeling
    Lines like these have got to be
    An architect's dream

    It's always the same
    Whenever he works on a pavement
    It starts to rain
    And all the time
    The light is changing
    &&&&&&&&&&&&&&

    Don't it feel like something from a dream
    Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this"

    Oh, can it be
    the voices calling me
    they get lost and out of time
    I should've seen it glow
    but everybody knows
    that a broken heart is blind
    that a broken heart is blind

    Pick you up, let you down
    when I wanna go
    to a place I can hide
    you know me, I had plans
    but they just disappeared
    to the back of my mind

    Oh, can it be

    The voices calling me
    they get lost and out of time
    I should've seen it glow
    but everybody knows
    that a broken heart is blind
    that a broken heart is blind

    Treasure maps foreign trees
    operator please
    call me back when it's time
    stolen friends and disease
    operator please
    pass me back to my mind

    Oh, can it be
    the voices calling me
    they get lost and out of time
    I should've seen it glow
    but everybody knows
    that a broken heart is blind
    that a broken heart is blind.....

    What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
    While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
    Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him,
    but I'm glad we talked...

    Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
    Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
    Hey...oh...

    Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
    She said I'm ready...for you
    I can't remember anything to this very day
    'Cept the look, the look...
    Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...

    I, I'm still alive
    Hey I, but, I'm still alive
    Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
    Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
    Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...

    Is something wrong, she said
    Well of course there is
    You're still alive, she said
    Oh, and do I deserve to be
    Is that the question
    And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...

    I, oh, I'm still alive
    Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
    Hey I, but, I'm still alive
    Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

    BLESS THE CHILD

    "I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
    I was weak, yet not unblessed.
    Dead to the world. Alive for the journey.
    One night I dreamt a white rose withering,
    A newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.
    I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.
    And witnessed the beauty of the beast"

    Where have all the feelings gone?
    Why has all the laughter ceased?
    Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
    Gone back in time to bless the child

    How can I ever feel again?
    Given the chance would I return?
    Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
    Gone back in time to bless the child
    Think of me long enough to make a memory
    Come bless the child one more time

    I've never felt so alone in my life
    As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
    There's a poison drop in this cup of Man
    To drink it is to follow the left hand path

    Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
    Gone back in time to bless the child
    Think of me long enough to make a memory
    Come bless the child one more time (repeat)

    "Where have all the feelings gone?
    Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you?
    Now unblessed, homesick in time,
    Soon to be freed from care, from human pain.
    My tale is the most bitter truth:
    Time pays us but with earth and dust, and a dark, silent grave.
    Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron,
    Hope is only an illusion and Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...

    The Child bless thee and keep thee forever"

    Close your eyes, give me your hand...
    Do you feel my heart beating
    Do you understand
    Do you feel the same
    Am I only dreaming
    Is this burning an eternal flame

    I believe it's meant to be, darling
    I watch you when you are sleeping
    You belong with me
    Do you feel the same
    Am I only dreaming
    Or is this burning an eternal flame

    Say my name, sun shines through the rain
    A whole life so lonely
    And then you come and ease the pain
    I don't want to lose this feeling ....

    "A Letter To Elise"



    oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
    i just can't stay here every yesterday
    like keep on acting out the same
    the way we act out
    every way to smile
    forget
    and make-believe we never needed
    any more than this
    any more than this

    oh elise it doesn't matter what you do
    i know i'll never really get inside of you
    to make your eyes catch fire
    the way they should
    the way the blue could pull me in
    if they only would
    if they only would
    at least i'd lose this sense of sensing something else
    that hides away
    from me and you
    there're worlds to part
    with aching looks and breaking hearts
    and all the prayers your hands can make
    oh i just take as much as you can throw
    and then throw it all away
    oh i throw it all away
    like throwing faces at the sky
    like throwing arms round
    yesterday
    i stood and stared
    wide-eyed in front of you
    and the face i saw looked back
    the way i wanted to
    but i just can't hold my tears away
    the way you do

    elise believe i never wanted this
    i thought this time i'd keep all of my promises
    i thought you were the girl always dreamed about
    but i let the dream go
    and the promises broke
    and the make-believe ran out...

    oh elise
    it doesn't matter what you say
    i just can't stay here every yesterday
    like keep on acting out the same
    the way we act out
    every way to smile
    forget
    and make-believe we never needed
    any more than this
    any more than this

    and every time i try to pick it up
    like falling sand
    as fast as i pick it up
    it runs away through my clutching hands
    but there's nothing else i can really do
    there's nothing else
    i can really do
    at all...

    Let me introduce myself I'm a social disease
    I've come for your wealth leave you on your knees
    No time for feeling sorry, I got here on my own
    I won't ask for mercy, I choose to walk alone

    What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine too
    If you shake my hand better count your fingers

    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end

    Of our elaborate plans, the end
    Of everything that stands, the end
    No safety or surprise, the end
    I'll never look into your eyes...again ...

    Can you picture what will be
    So limitless and free
    Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
    In a...desperate land .....

    If you can play on the fiddle
    How's about a British jig and reel?
    Speaking King's English in quotation
    As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust water froze
    In the generation
    Clear as winter ice
    This is your paradise

    There ain't no need for ya
    Go straight to hell boys

    Y'wanna join in a chorus
    Of the Amerasian blues?
    When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City
    Kiddie say papa papa papa papa-san take me home
    See me got photo photo
    Photograph of you
    Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
    Of you and Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
    Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
    It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice.

    Hey, I ain't never coming
    Home
    Hey, I'll just wander my
    Own road
    Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
    Say goodbye don't follow
    Misery so hollow

    Hey you, you're livin'
    Life full throttle
    Hey you, pass me down that
    Bottle, yeah
    Hey you, you can't shake
    Me round now
    I get so lost and don't
    Know how
    And it hurts to care, so I won't now

    Forgot my woman, lost my
    Friends
    Things I'd done and where
    I've been
    Sleep in sweat the mirrors
    Cold
    See my face it's growin'
    Old
    Scared to death no reason
    Why
    Do whatever to get me by
    Think about the things I
    Said
    Read the page it's cold
    And dead

    Take me home
    Yeah, take me home
    Take me home
    Take me home, yeah
    Take me home

    Say goodbye, don't follow

    Bonnie Raitt, ho.ly. crap.


    I've had bad dreams too many times
    To think that they don't mean much anymore
    Fine times have gone and left my sad home
    Friends who once cared just walk out my door
    Love has no pride when I call out your name

    Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame
    I'd give anything to see you again
    I've been alone too many nights
    To think that you could come back again
    And I've heard you talk, "she's crazy to stay"
    But this love hurts me so, I don't care what you say

    Love has no pride when I call out your name
    Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame
    I'd give anything to see you again

    If I could buy your love, I'd truly try, my friend
    And if I could pray, my prayer would never end
    But if you want me to beg, I'll fall down on my knees
    Asking for you to come back, I'd be pleading for you to come back
    Begging for you to come back to me

    Love has no pride when I call out your name
    Love has no pride when there's no one but myself to blame
    I'd give anything to see you again
    Yes, I'd give anything to see you again
