Rat a tap tap;
Oh don’t you come and ask;
Am I a coming back?
The sky has gone black on us.

Don’t you weep –
Blame myself for these things
Known I was stronger than he –
And all you weaklings knew it.

Toodle loo;
They all abandoned you
One bruised and another screwed,
But I was the only loved.

Oh, Hannah Leah …
I was the only love.

Keep that bed.
Now brother, keep that rug.
Lord knows I was given so much –
And the devil keeps me fed.

On the wall. On the stove –
And in the blank book you draw –
There are signs of Hannah Leah
There are signs of our love.

Oh, Hannah Leah …
There are signs of love.

On a black, blue night
I go a wandering:
Out over Houston –
Along Avenue A.
Hannah Leah
On Avenue A.

Ku Klux Klan;
There’s evil in every man.
Come love her when you can –
And see about Hannah Leah.

YOU CARRY THE VISION

Look at what we’ve achieved by nowPlace looks bigger with a field as a yardYou could put a hole in the groundFor sage and daffodils

Find your highConfirmation’s slowConstellation’s low

Feeling all but can’t be rainAnd I’ll never feel the same
All my children can’t do love and
SacrificeOh the tides are high
for you and me

You carried the vision
You carry the visionYou carry the visionYou carry the vision
Look at what we’ve achieved by nowThe place looks bigger with a field as a yard
Oh the sky’s clear enough to use

IT IS YOU

Sleep overClosest to dawnThe lines are drawn
The acts of youth
And only by the gods we’ll make it through

Sleeper don’t goYour dress is only creased in two
Will you come and lie with me
My face is turnedEnding as an apogee
I’ll never learn

It is you
It is youIt is you

Come by I don’t want to sleep
Without you all over my dreams
Cedars green glowThe smell upon the bed sheet knewWill you come and lie with me
The chase is done
Perfect physiognomyI’ll never learn

It is you
It is youIt is you

Home at last,
the travel’s sure been a blast.
So glad to be back,
I’m so glad to be back.

What is that,
under our bed.
Sure as hell’s not mine.
I’m sure that it’s not mine.

Should I pretend
that I’ve seen nothing ?
Candlelight dinner
holding your hand.
Should you pretend
that nothing happend ?
Candlelight dinner
holding my hand.

Lie to me and I’ll lie to you
A lie to wash it clean
I wanted to believe in you
But the truth can’t be unseen

Don’t you dare

You leave me far behind
And you won’t change your mind
My head keeps spinning ‘round
Until I hit the ground

Don’t be foolish
Don’t be mad
Don’t rush in
Oh, don’t you dare

Don’t be foolish
Don’t be mad
Don’t rush in
Oh, don’t you dare
Don’t you dare

You left me far behind
I thought I’d loose my mind
I lie here on the ground
The world keeps spinning ‘round

Don’t be foolish
Don’t be mad
Don’t rush in
Oh, don’t you dare

Don’t be foolish
Don’t be mad
Don’t rush in
Oh, don’t you dare
Don’t you dare (x2)

Don’t be a fool
Don’t you dare to walk away from me
Don’t be a fool
Don’t you dare to walk away from me
Don’t be a fool
Don’t you dare to walk away from me
Don’t be a fool
Don’t you dare to walk away from me
Don’t be a fool
Don’t you dare to walk away

Life’s become so fragile
now that I care
But I guess that means that I’m
Getting somewhere
Remember the time
Laying in your bedWhen you told me that you loved me
And you stroked my head

And I stared out the open window
I’d even told you
That one night howWords don’t mean a thing
But it’s alright
Cause every time
I open my mouth
And I wanna tell you something
But something else comes out

But do you know that I need you nowI’m trying to tell you but I don’t know how
So much frustration in my
Untidy roomThat you thoughtfully went andGot me a broom
But inside my room
Is a messy mind that isTangled and twisted
And untied

You know that I’m not too organisedI’m trying to be but I don’t have the time
The cement in my headWas making me sinkBut you pulled me up
and it hurts a little less to think
So life’s a little fragile
But I guess it always isWhen you’ve got some sort of reasonThat makes you wanna live
But will you share a bit of the weightI’ve carried it with me for 21 years straight

I’ve been down and under
don’t know what’s going onI’ve been down and under
don’t know what I’m doing wrongAin’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
Heard from my baby yesterdayhe said that he’s doing fineheard from my baby yesterdayhe said he’s doing fineso damn hard to hear him smile I nearly lost my mind‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
Been looking for good companyto help me clear my headI’ve been looking for good company
to help me clear my headOne more night by my own side won’t get me out of bed‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
They told me just to wait it outthese blues will come and gotold me just to wait it outthese blues will come and gobut days keep getting colder and the sun don’t seem to show‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
I’ve been down and under
don’t know what’s going onI’ve been down and under
don’t know what I’m doing wrongAin’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

I See Lola’s ComingI See Lola’s Coming
On the iceBreaking down winterAnd the snow
I See Lola’s ComingI See Lola’s Coming

On the iceBreaking a new summerAt my door

One day will come, when you know what to do And I’ll be here
with you One day will come, but I’ll wait until I’m sure That
I’ll stay with her
A new day is coming, with the beating of her heart Oh I’ll never
let you down A new day is coming, and makes me think of the two of us
When I’m not with her
One day will come, when you know what I mean And you’ll see,
what we were meant to be One day will come, but I’ll wait until I’m
sure That I’ll stay with her
A new day is coming, with the beating of her heart Oh I’ll never
let you down A new day is coming, and makes me think of the two of us
When I’m not with her

There ain’t nobody that I know
That walks full of liberty
We’re cursed and our bodies curl up
How can’t we speak out against it ?

We’re like stuck in a winter
Where the cold pinches our skin
The wind does squeeze in everywhere
Freezing our faces with fear

Can we stop ?

Can we change ?
Can we try to do something useful in the end?

I‘ll call the sun and warm you up
I’ll say Don’t give in, keep it up,
Have some food and have a rest
And let your soul just do the rest

I know your hearts are different
Please stop smothering their beats!
I know your inner nature man
I know you could be innocent!

Can we stop ?

Can we change ?
Can we try to do something useful in the end?

In all my dreams you stand up free
And proudly give that look at me
I would see how life is strong
Flowing from your gigantic eyes

I’d say Happy, I’m so happy!
I’m gonna paint myself in green
I’m gonna jump like a hopper
Above the seas above the skies

Can we stop ?

Can we change ?
Can we try to do something useful in the end?
