American woman, said get away  
American woman, listen what I say  
Don’t come hangin’ around my door  
Don’t wanna see your face no more  
I don’t need your war machines  
I don’t need your ghetto scenes

Colored lights can hypnotize  
Sparkle someone else’s eyes  
Now woman, get away from me  
American woman, mama let me be

Stop walking down my street  
Don’t come around here no more  
Who did you expect to meet?  
Don’t come around here no more  
Whatever you’re looking for  
Hey! don’t come around here no more  
Hey! honey please, don’t come around here no more  
Whatever you’re looking for  
Ah, oh, ah, ah.  
Don’t come around here no more

Just walk on by, wait on the corner  
I love you, but we’re strangers when we meet

If you see me walkin’ down the street  
And I start to cry each time we meet  
Walk on by, walk on by

Oh remember my darling  
When spring is in the air  
And the bald headed birds  
Are whisp’ring ev’rywhere  
You can see them walking  
Southward in their dirty underwear  
That’s Tennessee Bird walk

Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.  
Life is skittles and life is beer.  
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.  
I do, don’t you? 'Course you do.  
But there’s one thing that makes spring complete for me,  
And makes ev’ry Sunday a treat for me.

All the world seems in tune  
On a spring afternoon,  
When we’re poisoning pigeons in the park.  
Ev’ry Sunday you’ll see  
My sweetheart and me,  
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an’ hide,  
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.  
The sun’s shining bright,  
Ev’rything seems all right,  
When we’re poisoning pigeons in the park.

She’s pretty as a daisy but look out man she’s crazy  
She’ll really do you in  
Now if you let her under your skin  
Poison ivy, poison ivy  
Late at night while you’re sleepin’ poison ivy comes a’creepin’  
Around

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don’t touch)  
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop  
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)  
I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

You’re poison runnin’ through my veins  
You’re poison, I don’t wanna break these chains.

Your mouth, so hot  
Your web, I’m caught  
Your skin, so wet  
Black lace on sweat

If you love me let me know  
If you don’t then let me go  
I can’t take another minute  
Of a day without you in it  
If you love me let it be  
If you don’t then set me free  
Take the chains away  
That keep me loving you

A fugitive has been away so long  
A thousand years, and now he thinks of home  
The long men are waiting in the wings  
To put him in chains upon his return  
Emptiness, his bitterness is gone  
Journey on to the eternal reward

It’s a long way to go  
A black angel at your side  
It’s a long way to go  
A black angel at your side

Chains, my baby’s got me locked up in chains.  
And they ain’t the kind that you can see.  
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah.

Chains, well I can’t break away from these chains.  
Can’t run around, 'cause I’m not free.  
Whoa, oh, these chains of love won’t let me be, yeah.

I wanna tell you, pretty baby,  
I think you’re fine.  
I’d like to love you,  
But, darlin’, I’m imprisoned by these

Eve bears the stigma of original sin.  
Freedom’s so hard, when we are all bound by laws  
Etched in the scheme of natures own hand, unseen by all those who fail  
In their pursuit of fate.

Although Xavier has prayed that life giving waters may rain  
Down on the souls of men to cure them of their ways.  
And as the night turns into day will the sun illuminate your way,  
Or will your nightmares come home to stay.  
Xavier’s love lies in chains.

These were the sins of Xavier’s past,  
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils.

Heaven knows it’s time for us  
To wake up with the sun  
Like a child you kiss my eyes  
The tears have come and gone

And now I feel the mist is clearing  
And all the clouds will drift away  
And there’s no chill in the air tonight when  
We know that love is here to stay

And now we’re dancing like the dance of the seven veils  
Every move closer till the moment we lose our selves

Love is in the air everywhere I look around  
Love is in the air every sight and every sound  
And I don’t know if I’m being foolish  
I don’t know if I’m being wise  
But it’s something that I must believe in  
And it’s there when I look in your eyes.  
Love is in the air, in the whisper of the trees,  
Love is in the air in the thunder of the sea,  
And I don’t know if I’m just dreaming,  
I don’t know if I feel safe,  
But it’s something that I must believe in  
And it’s there when I call out your name.

It’s been so long since you felt like you were loved  
So what went wrong  
But do you know there’s a place where you belong  
Here in my arms

When you feel like you’re alone in your sadness  
And it seems like no one in this whole world cares  
And you want to get away from the madness  
You just call my name and I’ll be there

Farewell to you, my own true love,  
I am going far, far away  
I am bound for California,  
And I know that I’ll return someday

So fare thee well, my own true love,  
For when I return, united we will be  
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,  
But my darling when I think of thee

You are my friend  
So sad this had to end  
Some broken things don’t mend  
They lie where they fall  
You say the knife  
Is twisted in your back  
You don’t remember that  
It wasn’t mine  
But you’re my friend  
And you know  
Things are not the same  
You can’t hide your lies  
'cause it’s time  
there’s nothing you can change
