- 30 Century Man
See the dwarfs an' see the giants
Which one would you choose to be?
And if you can't get that together
Here's the answer, here's the key
You can freeze like thirty century man
Like a thirty century man
I'll save my breath and take it with me
Till a hundred years and so
- Angelica
Each night I meant to say
I missed her through the day
But I'd forget it
I never said it
I passed the flower shop
Lord knows I meant to stop
But I said tomorrow
- Cossacks Are
"A moving aria
for a vanished
style of mind
A noble debut
tackling vertiginous
demands
Has absence ever
sounded so
- Funeral Tango
Oh I can see them now
Clutching a hankerchief
And blowing me a kiss
Discreetly asking how
How came he died so young
Or was he very old
Is the body still warm
Or is it already cold
- Jackie
And if one day I should become
A singer with a Spanish bum
Who sings for women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I borrowed from a coffee bar
Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you
My name would be Antonio
And all my bridges I would burn
- Jesse
Nose holes caked in black cocaine
Pow! Pow!
No one holds a match to your skin
No dupe
No chiming
A way off miles off
No needle through a glove
Famine is a tall tower
- Mrs. Murphy
Hello Mrs Murphy
That's a lovely dress you're wearing
Is it new
Why, thank you Mr Wilson
But I've had that same old dress about a year or two
Upstairs in bed, the tall boy stretched just like a cat
Put his hands behind his head
And lay there thinking of a dream that he had
- My Death
My death is like
A swinging door
A patient girl who knows the score
Whistle for her
And the passing time
My death waits like
A bible truth
- On Your Own Again
"On Your Own Again"
Wasn't it a good year
Wasn't filled with talking
It still moves through my heart
From time to time
City after city
Granite gray as morning
- Only Myself To Blame
I've walked way past midnight,
I've driven for days,
I've tried to forget in so many ways.
I've held other arms,
But they don't feel the same,
And I've only myself to blame.
- Sons Of
Sons of the thief, sons of the saint
Who is the child with no complaint
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own
The same sweet smiles, the same sad tears
The cries at night, the nightmare fears
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own...
- Speak Softly Love
Speak softly love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words the tender trembling moments starts
We're a world our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known
- Stormy
You were the sunshine, baby
Whenever you smiled
But I call you Stormy today
All of a sudden
That ole rain's fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You've gone away
- The Angels of Ashes
The Angels of Ashes
will give back your passions
Again and again
Their light shafts
will reach through the darkness
and touch you my friend
- The Girls and The Dogs
The girls
Are as fast as a game
Are as bright as a flame
And you're always to blame
The girls
Are as pink as the light
And as dark as the night
- The Girls From The Streets
Suffocating eyes and fast hellos and last good-byes
Surround the night of me
Mustache large like smoke from his cigar
Coughs up a joke and laughs a net of sound
Swallowing the pinwheel clowns
Consuming all the women
Like a giant sponge
- the lady came from baltimore
Lady came from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
Didn't know that I was poor
She never saw my place
I was there to steal the money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
- The Plague
I spent many a night laying on my back
Waiting for the dawn to pierce a crack in the ceiling
Hanging from the sky
And I envied the boy who grabbed the toy
And ran away and found the joy
While I stood in the shadows wondering why
Flying towards me, wrapped in laughter
A woman's face, a terrible taste
- The Rope And The Colt
I seek the man who killed my friend
and when we meet my life may end
my life depends upon my gun
and my gun spells hope in the land where the rope and the colt are
king
I swore a vow on my dyin' breath
to ride a trail that ends in death
- The Seventh Seal
Anybody seen a knight pass this way
I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday
His crusade was a search for God and they say
It's been a along way to carry on
Anybody hear of plague in this town
The town I've left behind was burned to the ground
A young girl on a stake her face framed in flames cried
- Track Five
It's a starving reflection
If he dies in the night
Listening to the increase.
It cuts out your likeness
In blood circulations
Suspended beneath a release.
