A million old soldiers will fade away
But a dream goes on forever
I'm left standing here, I've got nothing to say
All is silent within my dream

A thousand true loves will live and die
But a dream lives on forever
The days and the years will go streaking by

It's a long time and a long way to go
What was once mine isn't mine anymore
All my fears you would not find me
All behind me

It's a long way and a long time to come
When our hearts stray and the troubles begun
I'll forget it if you make me

Afraid

It must feel pure to be so sure
About every little thing
But there's no cure for that angst of yours
That tugs at you like a string
Because you're afraid, afraid to know
To know the answer

They say I don't think enough
About the afterlife
Of what's below and above
It's all in black and white
They say there's only one kind of love
You have to choose just right
They say there's ony one kind of love

Laura, I saw you open in LA
There's something I gotta say
Laura, you know it's really been such a long, long time

And you know Laura, I knew you'd make it good someday
And you knew it anyway
Laura, I know that maybe this is the wrong, wrong time
But Laura where did that magic go

Like a fly batters itself against a window
Time and again and again it senselessly blunders
Up and down the length of West Broadway
the bag lady wanders
Fifty cents rent goes pretty far
when you live in a subway car
One stop's the same as another
Even Son of Sam sees her sleeping,

I dont want to work

I want to bang on the drum all day

I dont want to play

I just want to bang on the drum all day

We can't play this game anymore, but
Can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before, but
Can we still be friends?

We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Things are said one by one

We can't turn back the clock
But we can chant for love
Let's cut the idle talk so we can
Chant for love

We always have the time to quarrel
About such problems as money and war
Let's put it off until tomorrow

I believe if I was all alone,
I would be better off in a world my own
I'd forget I ever knew of you, and this dream every
night that you put me through
We walk along a Hollywood sea
and you dance once again with me

We are close, we are friends

Tell everyone that I am sorry, truly sorry
For all the wrongs I done
I never meant to hurt nobody
Lord I never want to do no wrong

I have lied, I have begged and I have cheated
And I know my ship won’t be coming in
As I lay me down to take my rest

Numb is the word when I get like this
Still out of touch, still couldn't feel a kiss, a kiss
Bells going off, but I can't say why
Trapped in the house with the walls and the roof on fire

On fire
Flames rise higher
Fever broke

If you know how to catch a mouse
The world will beat a pathway to your door
But since the first one's found our house
I can appreciate the saying more
I don't know
What they expect to find
I don't know
I can't make up my mind

Gun

I like the noise and I like the smell
And where the lead ends up, what the hell
I've got a gun
So you be the robber and I'll be the cop
Cowboy saloons where someone gets dropped
GI Joe goin' over the top

There's a hammer in my heart
Pounding out your name
There's a hammer in my heart
Here it comes again

I hear a certain sound
And it just won't go away
It sends a message out

My child, I had a visitation in my sleep last night
Something was calling to me from a blinding light
And told me not to fear it, hear it

It said, "It's time to make the world a little wiser.
There are enough destroyers and criticizers.
The world needs a healer, healer."

Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you

Hello it’s me
I’ve thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something’s wrong
There’s something here that doesn’t last too long
Maybe I shouldn’t think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you

Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you

It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you
So we walked along,
though I knew there was something wrong
And a feeling hit me oh so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see

(in a whisper: yeah, if six was done)

If the sun refused to shine
I don't mind, I don't mind
If the mountains fell in the sea
Let it be, it ain't me
All right, 'cause I got my own world to look through
And I ain't gonna copy you

Here we are again, the start of the end,
but there's More
I only want to see if you'll give up on me
But there's always More
There is More, International Feel
And there's More, Interplanetary Deals
But there's More, Interstellar Appeal
Still there's More, Universal Ideal

No place to hide
And no where to run
Nothing you can do because a change must come
You can't stop it
You got your tail in the air
Your head in the ground
Money, money, money makes your world go 'round
You can't stop it

Name your price
And take it to paradise
I can`t stay here any more
And I`ve looked high and low
I`ve been from shore to shore to shore
If there`s a short cut I`d have found it
But there`s no easy way around it

Ive been burned in my prime
The simple things in life
Seem so hard to learn sometimes
And it takes so long
Catch it while you can
Too late tomorrow
And everyone

Mercenary

Close your eyes and plug your ears and turn away
I will execute the task without dismay
Just leave upon the table what you've agreed to pay
Then tell me
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now?

I didn't notice you there
Til I felt your breath on my neck hair
Now you put me through my paces
You don't know what personal space is
And not a soul in the room
Seems to have your need to share
Did you ever stop to wonder
Does anybody care?

Step by step by step by step by
Steps grow longer
'Til it's just like stepping in another world
Feel that pulse that pulse that pulse
That pulse go stronger
Like a breath line coming from another world
Don't want to leave my old world but I can't deny
What it is that draws me on

When I was a child
I thought as a child
I spoke as a child
I didn't know better, better

But now I'm a man
I look like a man
Old as a man

See that girl, watch her dance
If I knew her name I wouldn't have to sit on my hands
If my mouth don't work I get some help
And she don't mind if I don't keep my hands to myself

You're all right
You put up such a good clean fight
I'm afraid that you lose tonight

Some people say life's like a merry-go-round
I think it's more like a ferris wheel
'Cause sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
Sometimes you just don't know what to feel
And just when you think you've got the game figured out
And you say you've had enough
The mysterious mad man with his hand on the lever
Don't seem to never ever want to let you off

One of them plays a piccolo in my ear
Another one makes me smell things that aren't there
And they know where to hide
And they know everything that's inside of my head
Tiny demons, inside me
One of them ties a lasso around my heart
Another one makes me nod when I drive the car
And they won't ever leave

Why don't you write your mother
Why don't you call your family
They're expecting an answer
Spare them your strange behavior

What of your expectations
Weren't you going to show us all
Some new kind of dancer

Есть великая старая девица посреди морей
Так история напомнила мне
И от рассвета до заката, ты слышишь ее зов:
Поклонись плачущей стене.

И плачет весь день она, так грустно и одиноко
Пока кто-нибудь не придет и не отведет ее домой
Но никто не слышит, и никто не побеспокоится

Leroy, boy, is that you?
I thought your post-hangin' days were through,
Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs,
Tell no lies, you get wise,
I tell you now we're gonna pull you through,
There's only one thing left that we can do.

We gotta get you a woman,

Now I lay me down to sleep
I'm praying Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Somebody make a big mistake

I'm only just one little man
Just usin' up the air
Still I'm askin' anyway

You got speed, turn it on
What I need to mow my lawn
You're my steed I ride til dawn
And the main vein bleeds til my strength is gone
I'm in the saddle, I'm in the race
I try not to ratle but you set the pace
When I start to struggle to share your space
You stop and then you

You cried wolf once too often
You cried wolf, you made me run
You cried wolf, I caught you bluffing
You'll cry wolf but I'll be gone
If you need someone to love
You only had to ask
Instead you pulled a false alarm
Baby, just for a laugh
