Cell number seven–  
Me and Moonie were in cell number seven.  
He dribbled on my jacket in cell number seven,  
Oo hoo–  
Snored like a goat,  
Ruined my coat.

There were seven Spanish angels  
At the altar of the sun  
They were prayin’ for the lovers  
In the valley of the gun  
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared  
There was thunder from the throne  
And seven Spanish angels, took another  
Angel home

Listen…patience wearing thin  
Only empty…arms to take you in  
Pale luminescent glare  
Surrounds you…till you can’t see it’s there

I’m callin’ fire from low within  
Tall and dead  
You can’t give up cause you’re so far in  
Fly home

Ancient…mirror image cast  
Reminds you…the future’s like the past  
Time split into a close field  
Hauntin’ you…usin’ up your fear

Somethin’ hateful in your head  
Kick it out  
You stole it hard but your wings are dead  
[Fly home](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj4qTqW-TwA)

Out among the stars I sail, way beyond the moon  
In my silver ship I sail, a dream that ended to soon  
Now I know exactly who I am and what I’m here for  
And I will go sailing no more

All the things I thought I’d be, all the brave things I’d done  
Vanished like a snowflake with the rising of the sun  
Never more to sail my ship, where no man has gone before  
And I will go sailing no more

But no, it can’t be true I could fly if I wanted to  
Like a bird in the sky if I believe I can fly, why I’d fly  
Clearly, I will go sailing, no more

</div>

I’m leavin’ my family, I’m leavin’ all my friends  
My body’s at home but my heart’s in the wind  
Where the clouds are like headlines on a new front page sky  
My tears are salt water and the moon’s full and high

And I know Joe Conrad would be proud of me  
And many before me who’ve been called by the sea  
To be up in the crow’s nest singin’ my say  
Shiver me timbers ‘cause I’m a-sailin’ away.

</div>

All my bags are packed I’m ready to go  
I’m standin’ here outside your door  
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye  
But the dawn is breakin’ it’s early morn  
The taxi’s waitin’ he’s blowin’ his horn  
Already I’m so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me  
Tell me that you’ll wait for me  
Hold me like you’ll never let me go  
Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane  
Don’t know when I’ll be back again  
Oh babe, I hate to go

Please come to Boston  
For the springtime  
I’m stayin’ here with some friends  
And they’ve got lots of room  
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk  
By a cafe where I hope to be workin’ soon  
Please come to Boston  
She said no, boy you come home to me

[Well we’re movin on up,](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCJTR3XeiAc)  
To the east side.  
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.  
Movin on up  
To the east side.  
We finally got a piece of the pie.

Fish don’t fry in the kitchen;  
Beans don’t burn on the grill.  
Took a whole lotta tryin’  
Just to get up that hill.  
Now we’re up in teh big leagues  
Gettin’ our turn at bat.  
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby  
There ain’t nothin wrong with that.

Well we’re movin on up,  
To the east side.  
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.  
Movin on up  
To the east side.  
We finally got a piece of the pie.

Down in front of Casey’s  
Old brown wooden stoop,  
On a summer’s evening,  
We formed a merry group;  
Boys and girls together,  
We would sing and waltz,  
While the “ginnie” played the organ  
On the Sidewalks of New York.

East side, west side,  
All around the town,  
The tots sang “Ring-a-Rosie,”  
“London Bridge is Falling Down.”  
Boys and girls together,  
Me and Mamie O’Rourke,  
Tripped the light fantastic,  
On the sidewalks of New York.

Down by the old mill stream  
Where I first met you  
With your eyes so blue  
Dressed in gingham too

Now my hair has turned to silver.  
All my life I’ve loved in vain.  
I can see her star in heaven.  
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.

Someday when we meet up yonder,  
We’ll stroll hand in hand again.  
In a land that knows no parting-  
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.

No one knows what it’s like  
To be the bad man  
To be the sad man  
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it’s like  
To be hated  
To be fated  
To telling only lies

But my dreams  
They aren’t as empty  
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely  
My love is vengeance  
That’s never free

Blue eyes  
Baby’s got blue eyes  
Like a deep blue sea  
On a blue blue day  
Blue eyes  
Baby’s got blue eyes  
When the morning comes  
I’ll be far away

Go away, little girl.  
It’s hurtin’ me more each minute that you delay.  
When you are near me like this,  
You’re much too hard to resist.  
So, go away, little girl, before I beg you to stay.

Well I heard that you’re leavin’ (leavin’)  
Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)  
'Cause you found a brand new lover  
You decided that I’m not your kind (aahh…)

So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex (oohh…)  
And I tore all your pictures in two  
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go  
Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)

That’s right (that’s right) you ain’t gonna see me cryin’  
I’m glad (I’m glad) that you found somebody new  
'Cause I’d rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass  
Than spend one more minute with you

Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you  
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too  
These last few weeks of holding on  
The days are dull, the nights are long  
Guess it’s better to say

Goodbye to you  
Goodbye to you  
Goodbye to you  
Goodbye to you

You’re deep just like a chasm  
You’ve no enthusiasm  
You’re tired and uninspired.  
You’re blase.

Your day is one of leisure  
In which you search for pleasure.  
You’re bored when you’re adored.  
You’re blase.

I’m tired  
Sick and tired of love  
I’ve had my fill of love  
From below and above  
Tired, tired of being admired  
Tired of love uninspired  
Let’s face it  
I’m tired

I’ve been with 1000’s of men  
Again and again  
They promise the moon  
They’re always coming and going  
Going and coming  
And always too soon  
Right girls?

Germany was having trouble  
What a sad, sad story  
Needed a new leader to restore  
Its former glory  
Where, oh, where was he?  
Where could that man be?  
We looked around and then we found  
The man for you and me  
Where, oh, where was he?  
Where could that man be?  
We looked around and then we found  
The man for you and me!  
LEAD TENOR STORMTROOPER:  
And now it’s…  
Springtime for Hitler and Germany  
Deutschland is happy and gay!  
We’re marching to a faster pace  
Look out, here comes the master race!  
Springtime for Hitler and Germany  
Rhineland’s a fine land once more!
