Solemn faced The village settles down Undetected by the stars And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep And the last thing on his mind Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned Neath the covered wooden shaft Folds the rope into its bag Blows his pipe of smolders Blankets smoke into the room And the day will end for some As the night begins for one Staring through the message in his eyes Lies a solitary son From the mountain called Freecloud Where the eagle dare not fly And the patience in his sigh Gives no indication For the townsmen to decide So the village dreadful yawns Pronouncing gross diversion As the label for the dog Oh, Its the madness in his eyes As he breaks the night to cry: Its really me Really you and really me Its so hard for us to really be Really you and really Me Youll lose me, though Im always Really free And the mountain moved its eyes To the world of realize Where the snow had saved a place For the Wild-Eyed Boy from Freecloud And the village dreadful cried As the rope began to rise For the smile stayed on the face Of the Wild-Eyed Boy from Freecloud And the women once proud clutched the heart of the crowd As the boulders smashed down from the mountains hand And the Magic in the stare Of the Wild Eyed Boy said Stop, Freecloud They wont think to cut me down But the cottages fell Like a playing card hell And the tears on the face Of the Wise Boy Came tumbling down To the rumbling ground And the missionary mystic of peace/love Stumbled back to cry among the clouds Kicking back the pebbles From the Freecloud mountain track

Oh, Im glad to hear from you all I am calling, yes I am calling, just to speak to you For I know this night will kill me if I cant be with you If I cant be with you

Dimmi ragazzo solo dove vai Perché tanto dolore?

I was walking through the counters of a national concern And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean As the merchandise exchanged and money roared And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak Into the paper bag at her side And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind Crying God knows Im good God knows Im good God knows Im good God may look the other way today God knows Im good God knows Im good God knows Im good God may look the other way today Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag Perspiration trickled down her forehead And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder She was led away bewildered and amazed Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter As her escort asked her softly for her name And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor Crying God knows Im good God knows Im good God knows Im good Surely God wont look the other way God knows Im good God knows Im good God knows Im good Surely God wont look the other way Hey!
I recall how we lived On the corner of a bed And wed speak of a Swedish room Of hessian and wood And wed talk with our eyes Of the sweetness in our lives And tomorrows of rich surprise... Some things we could do In our madness We burnt one hundred days Time takes time to pass And I still hold some ashes to me An Occasional Dream And wed sleep, oh so close But not really close our eyes Between the sheets of summer Bathed in blue... Gently weeping nights It was long, long ago And I still cant touch your name For the days of fate Were strong for you... Danced you far from me In my madness I see your face in mine I keep a photograph It burns my wall with time Time An Occasional Dream Of mine An Occasional Dream Of mine An Occasional Dream Of mine

Like weeds on a rockface waiting for the scythe Ricochet - ricochet The world is on a corner waiting for jobs Ricochet - ricochet Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall And who can bear to be forgotten And who can bear to be forgotten March of flowers, march of dimes These are the prisons, these are the crimes Men wait for news while thousands are still asleep Dreaming of tramlines, factories, pieces of machinery Mine shafts things like that. March of flowers, march of dimes These are the prisons, these are the crimes Sound of thunder, sound of gold Sound of the devil breaking parole Ricochet - its not the end of the world Sound of thunder, sound of gold Sound of the devil breaking parole Ricochet - ricochet These are the prisons these are the crimes Teaching life in a violent new way Ricochet - ricochet Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall And who can bear to be forgotten And who can bear to be forgotten March of flowers, march of dimes These are the prisons, these are the crimes Early, before the sun They struggle off to the gates In their secret fearful places they see their lives Unraveling before them March of flowers - march of dimes These are the prisons, these are the crimes Sound of thunder, sound of gold Sound of the devil breaking parole Ricochet - its not the end of the world Thats when they get home, damp eyed and weary They smile and crush their children to their heaving chests Making unfulfillable promises For who can bear to be forgotten

A lua inteira agora é um manto negro O fim das vozes no meu rádio São quatro ciclos no escuro deserto do céu Quero um machado pra quebrar o gelo Quero acordar do sonho agora mesmo Quero uma chance de tentar viver sem dor Sempre estar lá e ver ele voltar Não era mais o mesmo, mas estava em seu lugar Sempre estar lá e ver ele voltar O tolo teme a noite como a noite vai temer o fogo Vou chorar sem medo, vou lembrar do tempo De onde eu via o mundo azul A trajetória escapa o risco nu As nuvens queimam o céu, nariz azul Desculpe estranho, eu voltei mais puro do céu Na lua o lado escuro é sempre igual No espaço a solidão é tão normal Desculpe estranho, eu voltei mais puro do céu Sempre estar lá e ver ele voltar Não era mais o mesmo, mas estava em seu lugar Sempre estar lá e ver ele voltar O tolo teme a noite como a noite vai temer o fogo Vou chorar sem medo, vou lembrar do tempo

Suddenly, all your historys ablaze Try to breathe, as the world disintegrates Just like autumn leaves, were in for change Holding tenderly to what remains And all your memories are as precious as gold And all the honey and the fire which youve stole Have you running through all your red-cheeked days Shaking loose these souls from their sacred hiding space Hold your heart courageously As we walk into this dark place Stand steadfast, erect and see That love is the province of the brave Pushed under this expanse of bursting stars Let this burning brightly illuminate the where we are In this hollow that lovers voices occupy Let it follow that we let it free, let it fly Breaking open the walls of this cage Intoxicated, oh so amazed Much like falcons tumbling from the heights at play Conjoined, talons engaged Hold these hearts courageously As we walk into this dark place Stand steadfast beside me and see That love is the province of the brave
Down where your paint is cracking Look down your backstairs buddy Somebodys living there and He dont really feel the weather And he dont share your pleasures No, he dont share your pleasures Did you see his eyes? Did you see his crazy eyes? And youre so surprised he doesnt run to catch your ash Everybody always wants to kiss your trash And you cant help him, no one can And now that he knows Theres nothing to get Will you still place your bet Against the Neighborhood Threat? Somewhere a babys feeding Somewhere a mothers needing Outside her boy is trying But mostly he is crying Did you see his eyes? Did you see his crazy eyes? And youre so surprised he doesnt run to catch your ash Everybody always wants to kiss your trash But you cant help him, no one can And now that he knows Theres nothing to get Not in this place Not in your face Will you still place your bet Against the Neighborhood Threat?

When I believed in nothing I called her name Trapped in a high-dollar joint In some place I called her name And though my days were slipping by And nights so cruel I thought Id die She danced her little dance til it made me cry She was shaking like this honey doing that When I needed soul revival I called your name When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain Your soothing hand that turned me round A love so real Swept over me You danced a little dance til it made me cry She was shaking like this honey doing that Never let me down She never let me down Never let me down She never let me down When all your faith is failing, call my name When youve got nothing coming, call my name Ill be strong for all it takes Ill cover your head Until the bad stuff breaks Dance my little dance til it makes you smile Shaking like this honey doing that Never let you down Ill never let you down Ill never let you down Ill never let you down Oh no
Your coat and hat are gone I really cant look at your little empty shelf A ragged teddy bear It feels like we never had a chance Dont look me in the eye We lay in each others arms But the room is just an empty space I guess we lived it out, something in the air We smiled too fast then cant think of a thing to say Lived with the best times Left with the worst Ive danced with you too long Nothing left to say Lets take what we can I know you hold your head up high Weve raced for the last time A place of no return And theres something in the air Something in my eye Ive danced with you too long Something in the air Something in my eye Abracadoo - I lose you We cant avoid the clash, the big mistake Now were going to pay and pay The sentence of our lives Cant believe Im asking you to go We used what we could to get the things we want But we lost each other on the way I guess you know I never wanted Anyone more than you Lived all our best times Left with the worst Ive danced with you too long Say what you will But theres something in the air Raced for the last time Well I know you hold your head up high Theres nothing we have to say, theres nothing in my eyes But theres something in the air Something in my eye Ive danced with you too long Theres something I have to say Theres something in the air Something in my eye Ive danced with you too long
Better take care Think I better go, better get a room Better take care of me Again and again I think about this and I think about personal history Better take care I breathe so deep when the movie gets real When the star turns round Again and again He looks me in the eye says hes got his mind on a countdown 3-2-1 Forever Im screaming that Im gonna be living on till the end of time Forever The sky splits open to a dull red skull My head hangs low cause its all over now And theres never gonna be enough money And theres never gonna be enough drugs And Im never ever gonna get old Theres never gonna be enough bullets Theres never gonna be enough sex And Im never ever gonna get old So Im never ever gonna get high And Im never ever gonna get low And Im never ever gonna get old Better take care The moon flows on to the edges of the world because of you Again and again And Im awake in an age of light living it because of you Better take care Im looking at the future solid as a rock because of you Again and again Want to be here and I wanna be there Living just like you, living just like me Forever Putting on my gloves and bury my bones in the marshland Forever Think about my soul but I dont need a thing just the ring of the bell in the pure clean air And Im running down the street of life And Im never gonna let you die And Im never ever gonna get old And Im never ever gonna get Im never ever gonna get Im never ever gonna get old And Im never ever gonna get Im never ever gonna get And Im never ever gonna get old Im never ever gonna get Never ever get old
I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova I could walk like Brando right into the sun and dance just like a Casanova With my blackjack and jacket and my hair slicked sweet Silver studs on my duds just like a Harley in heat When I strut down the street I could hear its heartbeat The sisters fell back and said, Dont that man look pretty The cripple on the corner cried out, Penny, nickels for your pity Them gasoline boys downtown, they sure talk gritty Its so hard to be a saint in the city I was a king of the alley, mama, I could talk some trash I was a prince of the paupers, crowned downtown at the Beggars Bash I was a pimps main prophet, I kept everything cool Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose And when the heat came down it was left on the ground, mama Devil appeared to me like Jesus through the steam in the street And showed me a hand that even the cops couldnt beat And I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat Its so hard to be a saint when youre just a boy out on the street And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead As the tracks clack out the rhythm, the eyes fixed straight ahead They ride the line of balancing, hold on by just a thread Well, its too hot in these tunnels, you can get hit up by the heat When you get up to get out at your next stop, but they push you back down in your seat And your heart starts beating faster as you struggle to your feet Then youre out of that hole, back on the street And them southside sisters, they sure look pretty And the cripple on the corner cries out, Nickels for your pity And them downtown boys, they sure talk gritty Its so hard to be a saint in the city
