Strange Days
Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
They're going to destroy our casual joys
We shall go on playing or find a new town, yeah

Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning, her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin and you know this is it, yeah

Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours we linger alone
Bodies confused, memories misused
As we run from the day to a strange night of stone

You're Lost Little Girl
You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
You're lost, tell me who are you

Think that you know what to do
Impossible, yes, but it's true
I think that you know what to do, yeah
Sure that you know what to do

You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
You're lost, tell me who are you

Think that you know what to do
Impossible, yes, but it's true
I think that you know what to do, girl
I'm sure that you know what to do

You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
You're lost

Love Me Two Times
Love me two time, baby, love me twice today
Love me two time, girl, I'm goin' away
Love me two time, girl - one for tomorrow, one just for today
Love me two times, I'm goin' away

Love me one time, I could not speak
Love me one time, yeah, my knees got weak
Love me two time, girl - last me all through the week
Love me two times, I'm goin' away
Love me two times, I'm goin' away
Alright, yeah

Love me one time, I could not speak
Love me one time, baby, yeah, my knees got weak
Love me two time, girl - last me all through the week
Love me two times, I'm goin' away

Love me two time, babe, love me twice today
Love me two time, babe, cos I'm goin' away
Love me two time, girl - one for tomorrow, one just for today
Love me two times, I'm goin' away

Love me two times, I'm goin' away

Unhappy Girl
Unhappy girl left all alone
Playing solitaire, playing warden to your soul
You are locked in a prison of your own devise
And you can't believe what it does to me
See you crying

Unhappy girl, tear your web away
Saw through all your bars, melt your cell today
You are caught in a prison of your own devise

Unhappy girl, fly fast away
Don't miss your chance to swim in mystery
You are dying in a prison of your own devise
Back to Song List


Horse Latitudes
When the still sea conspires an armor
And her sullen and aborted currents breed tiny monsters
True sailing is dead
Awkward instant and the first animal is jettisoned
Legs furiously pumping their stiff green gallop
And heads bob up
Poise, delicate, pause, consent
In mute nostril agony
Carefully refined and sealed over
Back to Song List


Moonlight Drive
Let's swim to the moon, uh huh, let's climb through the tide
Penetrate the evening that the city sleeps to hide
Let's swim out tonight, love, it's our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean on our moonlight drive

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh, let's climb through the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds that lap against our side
Nothin' left open and no time to decide
We've stepped into a river on our moonlight drive

Let's swim to the moon, let's climb through the tide
You reach your hand to hold me but I can't be your guide
Easy, I love you as I watch you glide
Falling through wet forests on our moonlight drive, baby, moonlight drive

Come on, baby, gonna take a little ride
Down, down by the ocean side
Gonna get real close, get real tight
Baby gonna drown tonight
Goin' down, down, down

People Are Strange
People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange faces come out of the rain
When you're strange no one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange faces come out of the rain
When you're strange no one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange, alright, yeah

When you're strange faces come out of the rain
When you're strange no one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

My Eyes Have Seen You
My eyes have seen you, my eyes have seen you, my eyes have seen you
Stand in your door, meet inside, show me some more
Show me some more, show me some more

My eyes have seen you, my eyes have seen you, my eyes have seen you
Turn and stare, fix your hair, move upstairs
Move upstairs, move upstairs

My eyes have seen you, my eyes have seen you, my eyes have seen you
Free from disguise gazing on a city under television skies
Television skies, television skies

My eyes have seen you, my eyes have seen you
Eyes have seen you, let them photograph your soul
Memorize your alleys on an endless roll
Endless roll, endless roll, endless roll, endless roll, endless roll
Endless roll, endless roll, endless roll, endless roll, endless roll
Endless roll, endless roll, endless roll, endless roll, endless roll

I Can't See Your Face In My Mind
I can't see your face in my mind
I can't see your face in my mind
Carnival dogs consume the lines
Can't see your face in my mind

Don't you cry, baby, please don't cry
And don't look at me with your eyes

I can't seem to find the right lie
I can't seem to find the right lie
Insanity's horse adorns the sky
Can't seem to find the right lie

Carnival dogs consume the lines
Can't see your face in my mind

Don't you cry, baby, please don't cry
I won't need your picture until we say goodbye

When The Music's Over
Yeah, come on
Yeah

When the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over turn out the lights
Turn out the lights, turn out the lights, yeah

When the music's over
When the music's over
When the music's over turn out the lights
Turn out the lights, turn out the lights

For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend until the end
Until the end, until the end

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection
Send my credentials to the house of detention
I got some friends inside

The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends, "Alive," she cried
Waitin' for me outside

Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear, I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly

Come back, baby, back into my arm
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound
Very near, yet very far
Very soft, yet, very clear
Come today, come today

What have they done to the earth, yeah
What have they done to our fair sister
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down

I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it
We want the world and we want it now, now, now

Persian night, babe
See the light, babe
Save us, Jesus, save us

So, when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over turn out the lights
Turn out the lights, turn out the lights

Well, the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend until the end
Until the end, until the end
