- Back Street Luv
Summer's comin', time to dream the day away
And she's so sunny is the girl you met today
Will she make it? Can she take it?
Like to try love, such a shy love
Racket back street leanin' on the wall
She reads a story of her life before it all
Did she give love? Could she feel love?
- Blind Man
I'll be your purse
If you will come back
And set the blind man
To his door
If man's best friend
Will be my friend
Until the bitter end
Days and nights
- Hide and Seek
Night-time, comin' playing hide and seek (I have got to find you),
Streets deserted, I am here alone (frightened of the unknown).
Walking the streets, I call your name, but no one comes,
Running through the town, I call your name, but no, no one hears.
Shadows forming, where can I begin? Darkness is closing in,
Doors all closed and window curtains drawn (all the people have gone).

The silver tongued boy and the golden eyed girl El chico con la lengua de plata y la chica de ojos dorados
Deciphering symbols in their virtual world Descifrando los símbolos en su mundo virtual
The boy out in space and the girl on the line El chico en el espacio y la chica sobre la línea
Connecting their senses Conectando sus sentidos
Making love with images and signs Haciendo el amor con imágenes y signos.
- It Happened Today
Yesterday you know it never really happened
Tomorrow you know it never really had
You, you're only what you think you might be
I am only what you think I am
It happened today
It happened today
It happened today
It happened today
- Metamorphosis
from "Air Cut" (p)1973
We are the children of the midnight, marching high in an icy mercury sky
We sing and our breath turns to frost, we watch and the frost melts
We hear the crazy winds that weep, we don't sleep where the minds meet
In icy mercury seas we dream and we picture the same
We dance and the worlds melt away

I hang out on ledges Cuelgo en las repisas
Out on the edges Afuera en las repisas
Creep behind hedges Me arrastro tras las coberturas
Smokin in doorways Fumando en los portales
Always around here never went far Siempre por aquí, nunca estuve lejos
I belong to these streets Pertenezco a estas calles
- Phantasmagoria
I bet you sometimes wondered
What is standing right behind you
Keep looking over your shoulder to see if it's there
The solemn church bell pealing
some mephisophelean stealing
Quietly along through the night to hide under the bed
Don't ring for a taxi
- Screw
See the screw slowly turn around
See it sink without a sound
Feel your head slip with every turn
Feel the steel knob begin to burn
All is lost now, it seems that way
All is lost now, it seems that way
Seeing a face through broken glass
- Situations
Though I am no longer alone,
Everybody seems to take my mind away.
I love you but it isn't as I planned,
I promise you I've done the best I can.
Haven't touched any other man,
Situations seem to have been kind to you.
I've wished to be beside somebody else,
But actions are the proof of love, not thoughts.
- Stretch
Stretched a mile this morning when I got me out of bed,
Crazy dreams still floating in the mist around my head.
This was meant for you, that was meant for me.
I've seen sour men that frown, so others think they think,
But me, I prefer those lovin' smiles and a dozen pints of pink.
This was meant for you, that was meant for me.
