God Part II
Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in forced entry
Don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by
Wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in death row
Skid row or the gangs
Don't believe in the Uzi
It just went off in my hand
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in cocaine
Got a speed-ball in my head
I could cut and crack you open
Do you hear what I said
Don't believe them when they tell me
There ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy
The sick stay poor
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in Goldman
His type like a curse
Instant karma's going to get him
If I don't get him first
Don't believe in rock 'n' roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
It spirals and turns
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in the 60's
The golden age of pop
You glorify the past
When the future dries up
Heard a singer on the radio late last night
He says he's gonna kick the darkness
'til it bleeds daylight
I...I believe in love
I feel like I'm falling
Like I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside of me
With a presence I can feel
I...I believe in love
You get to feel so guilty
You're holding on to every little thing so tightly
Goodbye...
You wanted to get somewhere so badly
Goodbye...
'Cause I'm already gone
You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Goodbye...
Gone...sun...time...sun...
Grace
Grace
And when she walks on the street
Grace
She travels outside
When she goes to work
Grace
She carries a pearl
Because grace makes beauty
Like a desert needs rain
Like a drifter needs a room
Like a rhythm unbroken
Like coming home
When the night has no end
Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree
Like the hot needs the sun
When the night has no end
I need your love...
Like thunder needs rain
Like a needle needs a vein
I need your love...
Like faith needs a doubt
Like powder needs a spark
In the heart of the heat of the love
See the sun rise over her skin
Mississippi and the cotton wool heat
In this heartland
See the sun rise over her skin
In this heartland
Julie says
Julie wake up
Now you fall down
Julie say something
I want to get up
I fall down
I fall
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
You broke the bonds and you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I was talking
He was my brother
I was walking
No one...no one is blinder
I was talking
Be my brother
I will Follow...
I was on the outside when you said
A boy tries hard to be a man
Chorus:
I was on the inside
Chorus:
Your eyes make a circle
Chorus:
I will follow
Nobody else here baby
Nobody made you do it
It's the blind leading the blond
Hey if God will send his angels
God has got his phone off the hook, babe
It's the blind leading the blond
If God will send his angels
Jesus never let me down
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
If God will send his angels
I don't want to lie
Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to
We've been here before
If you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
Sunlight, sunlight fills my room
It's okay, the struggle for things not to say
But if you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon is a mirrorball
If you wear that velvet dress
In a little while
In a little while
When the night takes a deep breath
In a little while
That girl, that girl
Since you were a little girl
My, how you've grown
Slow down my beating heart
Turn it on
Slow down my beating heart
Yeah
Desert sky
Desert rose
Sleep comes like a drug
Set me alight
She is liberty
Sleep comes like a drug
Naked flame
Gone
Got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling
Just won't go away
'Til there's nothing left for you anyway
You can keep this suit of lights
I'll be up with the sun
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change your name, well that's okay, it's necessary
And what you leave behind you don't miss anyway
You can keep this suit of lights
I'll be up with the sun
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
Felt that way all along
Closer to you every day
I didn't want it that much anyway
Then you learn to like the way it feels
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed
And it's emotional
Good night...
I'll be up with the sun
You're still holding on
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
Gone...sun....gone...sun...
Sun...
Grace
She takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name
It's a name for a girl
It's also a thought that
Changed the world
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness
In everything
She's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
Of karma, karma
She travels outside
Of karma
You can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty
In everything
She carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips
Between her fingertips
In perfect condition
What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Out of ugly things
Grace finds beauty
In everything
Grace finds goodness
In everything
Hawkmoon 269
Like a town needs a name
I need your love
Hawkmoon
I need your love
I need your love
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love
And you don't know where you've been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love
Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy
I need your love
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
[Repeat 9 times]
Like a preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sheet stained
I need your love
I need your love
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love
[Repeat 7 times]
Like a freeway out
I need your love
Like lies need the dark
I need your love
In the heart of the heat of the love...
[Repeat until end]
Heartland
Don't change it
See the sun rise over her skin
Dawn changes everything
Everything
And the delta sun
Burns bright and violet
Sixty-six a highway speaks
Of deserts dry
Of cool green valleys
Gold and silver veins
Of the shining cities
In this heartland soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland
She feels like water in my hand
Freeway like a river cuts through this land
Into the side of love
Like a burning spear
And the poison rain
Brings a flood of fear
Through the ghost-ranch hills
Death valley waters
In the towers of steel
Belief goes on and on
In this heartland soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland
Heartland...heaven's day here in the heartland
Heart...
I Fall Down
John I'm getting nowhere
I wrote this letter
Hope to get to someplace soon
I want to get up
When I wake up
But when I get up
I fall down
Julie tell the story
You wrote the letter
Said you were gonna get there someday
Gonna walk in the sun
And the wind and the rain
Never walk back again
You're falling down
You fall down
You fall down
Julie say you're sorry
You're gonna get better
You better not leave me here anyway
When you wake up
When I get up
When I'm falling down
I fall down
I broke myself
I fall down
I'm falling down
I fall down
When you fall down
When I'm falling down
Is when you're falling down
When you fall down
I fall down
I fall down...
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
I Threw a Brick Through a Window
I was talking to myself
Somebody else
Talk talk talking
I couldn't hear a word
A word you said
I said there was no other
Way out of here
Be my brother
Gotta get out
Gotta get out
I was walking into walls
I'm back again
I just keep walking
I walk into a window
To see myself
And my reflection
When I thought about it
My direction
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Than he who will not see
No one...no one is blinder
Than me
I was talking in my sleep
I can't stop talking
I'm talking to you
It's up to you
There is another way out of here
In my brother
Gotta get out
Gotta get out
Gotta get out of here
I Will Follow
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry
Oh why
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...I will follow
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes, your eyes...
I will follow...
If God Will Send His Angels
No one here to blame
No one to point the finger
It's just you and me and the rain
No one put words in your mouth
Nobody here taking orders
When love took a train heading south
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright
Would he even pick up if he could
It's been a while since we saw that child
Hanging 'round this neighbourhood
You see his mother dealing in a doorway
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl
Jesus sister's eyes are a blister
The High Street never looked so low
It's the cops collecting for the cons
So where is the hope and where is the faith
And the love...what's that you say to me
Does love...light up your Christmas Tree
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Where do we go
Where do we go
You know Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door
But I guess it was something to go on
I sure could use them here right now
Well if God would send his angels
Where do we go
(Where do we go)
I don't want to have a feel for the song
And I want to love, and I...
(Where do we go)
And I want to feel alone
If You Wear That Velvet Dress
I'm feeling sea sick again
The whole world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water
Do you really want me to be blue as you
It's her daylight that gets me through
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a two year old
Who just wanted more
If you wear that velvet dress
It's a private show
No one else going to know
I'm wanting
It's sharp and it's clear
But nothing at all like the moon
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray
But if you wear that velvet dress
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when it falls
In a Little While
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
WiIl you be there
I won't (be) blown by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees
She's mine
And I've know her since
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by
Well it's been
It's been a little while
Man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocket ship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light
Turn it on
You turn me on
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
In God's Country
Dream beneath a desert sky
The rivers run but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me
In God's Country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's Country
We'll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
See what's on the other side
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
In God's Country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's Country
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
