I'm on a lonely road and I'm traveling,
traveling, traveling, traveling,
looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some,
Oh I love you, when I forget about me,
I wanna be strong, I wanna to laugh along,
I wanna belong to the living,
alive, alive, I wanna get up and jive

In the space between what’s wrong and right,
You will find me waiting for you.
All your fortresses go down in the night.
To the dawn I’ll see you through.

‘Cause I know, that you know,
You’re all over me now.
And it’s clear, it will show,

The sun has gone from the shining skies
Bye, baby, bye
The dandelions have closed their eyes
Bye, baby, bye
The stars are lighting their lamps to see
The babes and squirrels and birds and bees
Are sound asleep as they ought to be
Bye, baby, bye.

Beloved Wife
You were the love
for certain of my life
you were simply my beloved wife
I don't know for certain
how I'll live my life
now alone without my beloved wife
my beloved wife

I am ebenezer bleezer
I run bleezer’s ice-cream store
There are flavors in my freezer
You have never seen before

Twenty-eight divine creations
Too delicious to resist
Come on, do yourself a favor

When I was just a little girl my mamma said to me,
"beware of the devil my child
In the dark rocky places he'll keep
Beware of the devil my child
Beware of his charming ways
You'll fall under an evil spell
Just looking at his beautiful face
You gotta build yourself a levee deep inside"

Well, my heart is sad
And I am lonesome
For the only one I love
When shall we meet?
Oh no never
Till we meet in heaven above

So bury me underneath the willow

Well, I've walked these streets
A virtual stage
It seemed to me
Makeup on their faces
Actors took their places next to me

Well, I've walked these streets
In a carnival of sights to see

Once, I loved a sailor.
Once, a sailor loved me.
But he was not a sailor,
that sailed on the wide blue sea.
He, sailed in an airship;
Sailed like a bird on the wind;
And every evening at midnight,
he would come to my window and sing:

Within the fire and out upon the sea
Crazy man Michael was walking
He met with a raven with eyes black as coals
And shortly they were a-talking
Your future, your future I would tell to you
Your future you often have asked me
Your true love will die by your own right hand
And crazy man Michael will cursèd be

Within the fire and out upon the sea
Crazy Man Michael was walking
He met with a raven with eyes black as coals
And shortly they were a-talking

"Your future, your future, I would tell to you
Your future, you often have asked me
Your true love will die by your own right hand

Are you crying, my little one
Footsore and weary
I must tramp on through the winter night dreary
Fall asleep, pretty baby, warm on my shoulder

While the snow falls upon me colder and colder

You are my dearest one, I have not another

young Emily was fair lady bright
she loved her diver boy
who sailed over the ocean to
gather up some gold
seven long years returning
his money for to show
he'd been sailing over the main
down in the low land, low

I'm an effigy
A parody of
Who I appear to be
Put your flaming torches under me

I'm an effigy
A parody of
Who I appear to be

Каждый день как будто воскресенье
Медленно бродя по мокрому песку,
Назад к скамейке, где была украдена твоя одежда.

Это прибрежный город,
Который забыли прикрыть.
Армагеддон, приди, Армагеддон!
Наступи, Армагеддон, наступи!

Blue like the winter snow in the full moon
Black like the silhouettes of the trees
Late blooming flowers lie 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, will you wait for me here

Top of the fold
Toast of the town
Everyone stops when you come around
They hold their breath for you

Heroes are born
Idols are made
We're all fools for this factory fame

I may know the word
But not say it
I may know the truth
But not face

I may hear a sound
A whisper, sacred & profound
But turn my head

Well if no one ever marries me
And I don't see why they should
Nurse says I'm not pretty
And you know I'm seldom good, seldom good

Well if no one ever marries me
I shan't mind very much
Buy a squirrel in a cage

You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness, my admiration
And for everything you've done

You know I'm bound...
I'm bound to thank you for it

It`s a pity, It`s a crying shame
He pulled you down again
How painful it must be
To bruise so easily
Inside

It`s a pity, it`s a downright crime
It happens all the time

Maggie said
Dig one more shallow grave before I'm dead
Maggie said
I'm just lookin' for a place that I can lay my weary head
There's no perfect end
Just time to leave

Maggie said

Where in hell can you go
Far from the things that you know
Far from the sprawl of concrete
That keeps crawling its way
About 1,000 miles a day?

Take one last look behind
Commit this to memory and mind

Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here that I don't understand

They say that promises sweeten the blow
But I don't need them, no I don't need them

I've been treated so wrong,

Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here that I don't understand
Your face say these promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
Because I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long

Oh lately I’ve been walkin’ all alone
Through the wind and through the rain
Been walking through these …
And knowin’ that it won’t be long

Oh lately it’s occurred to me
That I’ve had enough of that
And lately I’ve been satisfied by simple things

I had a silver penny
And an apricot tree
And I said to the sailor
On the white quay

Sailor O sailor
Will you bring me
If I give you my penny

One fine day, youll look at me
And you will know our love was, meant to be
One fine day, youre gonna want me for your girl
The arms I long for, will open wide
And youll be proud to have me, right by your side
One fine day, youre gonna want me for your girl
Though I know youre the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around

Ophelia was a bride of god
A novice Carmelite
In sister cells the cloister bells
Tolled on her wedding night

Ophelia was a rebel girl
A blue stocking suffragette
Who remedied society

Young & strong Hollywood son
In the early morning light
This star fell down
On Sunset Boulevard

Young & strong beautiful one
We embraced so close
Is gone

Go west
Paradise is there
You'll have all that you can eat
Of milk & honey over there

You'll be the brightest star
The world has ever seen
Sun-baked slender heroine

"Seven Years"

How did I love you?
There was no measuring
Far above this dirty world
Far above everything
In your tower over it
You were clean

So you're in love, that's so good for you
Live it up girl 'cause it never lasts too long
It's heaven for now, but not for long
It's gonna hurt you
It's gonna make you feel so bad

Once I could love, I could trust, I could not doubt
But that was just about the worst thing that I could do

Remember how it all began
The apple and the fall of man
The price we paid
So the people say

Down the path of shame and let us dare
To bite the hand that fed us
Fairy tale, the moral end

There's a land beyond the river
That they call the sweet forever
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree
One by one we'll gain the portals
There to dwell with the immortals
When they ring the golden bells for you and me

Don't you hear the bells now ringing

"Where I Go"

Climbing under
A barbed wire fence
By the railroad ties

Climbing over
The old stone wall

Which side are you on?

Come all you good workers
Good news to you i'll tell
Of how the good old union
Has come in here to dwell

Which side are you on boys?
