Oh these people I’m talking to don’t understand They don’t seem to realize They’re listening but they’re not hearing me They’re being too cruel to be kind Any kind of feeling that I had is gone 'Cos I gave it all, it’s gone And I gave it all to you Now I’m living on borrowed time, but it’s mine Oh, d’you hear me? I cannot believe it’s true Are you really doing the things you do? No I cannot believe it’s you, really you Over and over I keep on telling myself Over and over I hope I’m gonna make up Over and over I know it’s really happening And there’s nothing that I can say 'Cos nothing can change all the things that you’ve done to me Nothing can make me stay ---

Changing moods and stranger feelings In my dealings with the world Faces that I’ve seen before am I sure Or has my brain turned Thinking about things I don’t understand Thinking about things I don’t understand Dreams and omens of my future Like a sculpture finely molded Stars that guide my destiny Tell me what I will be A chart unfolded Thinking about things I don’t understand Thinking about things I don’t understand Da da … la la … oh oh oh … Seems there’s plans for everyone The day will come and we will know We all are tied in with each other Everyone brothers One great flow Thinking about things I don’t understand Thinking about things I don’t understand ---

'Cause it’s changing in the Big Sky, It’s changing in the Big Sky now. We’re looking at the Big Sky. You never understood me. You never really tried. We’re leaving with the Big Sky. We’re leaving with the Big Sky. And we pause for the jets– hup! hup!–in the Big Sky! You want my reply? What was the question? I was looking at the Big Sky. Tell 'em, sisters! “Rolling over like a great big cloud, Rolling over with the Big Sky! Rolling over like a great big cloud, Rolling over with the Big Sky!” ---

The sky is burnin’ - I believe my soul’s on fire You are, I’m learning - the key to my desire Waiting for the van to arrive The prisoners were lined up outside Jumped a wall, hitched a ride, and now I’m here to say Love you baby anyway, oh, yeah The sky is burnin’ - I believe my soul’s on fire You are, I’m learning - the key to my desire Ran across the country fields in all terrain They had guns and dogs and everything Swam a river try’n to lose my trail But they caught me, under the bridge. Oh yeah! The sky is burnin’ - I believe my soul’s on fire You are, I’m learning - the key to my desire ---

Let me tell you a story About two kids in the city See they both have a problem with life And it isn’t very pretty There’s a kid called Timmy He used to be pretty witty But then too many rides on the horse Got him hooked and it’s a pity Cause now he’s got a monkey He’s got a monkey can’t fight it (Monkey) on his back he can’t deny it (Monkey) he found a dragon that bites A hole in his arm at night Where all the money goes Monkey, monkey on his back Monkey, monkey on his back A dirty monkey Well there’s a girl called Sally She walks the streets in the city She works down on the corner every night Gives her money up to Willy You see her man’s Big Willy And when he met her she was pretty But he gave her a habit that she didn’t want Now that’s a pity Cause now she’s got a monkey She’s got a monkey can’t fight it (Monkey) she’s gotta walk the streets to buy it (Monkey) she found a dragon that bites A hole in her arm at night Where all the money goes Monkey, monkey on his back Monkey, monkey on his back A dirty monkey Well now listen everybody Cause there’s a moral to the story Clean up your act, get the monkey off your back Or you’ll be sorry Keep yourself clean Cause the monkey plays mean He’ll put a knife in your back Then the man in the black Will show you a dragon that bites And you’ll wind up with a Monkey, monkey on your back Monkey, monkey on your back ---

[Ehh, dragons and lizards, monkeys and burning skies…close enough…] The first thing that I saw as, The fisherman smiled at me Were empty people dressed in grey, Floating out to sea The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence The small fish gave a cry The next thing that I saw as, Things were fading fast Were dreams of children’s laughter, Smoldering to dust The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence The small fish gave a cry The last thing that I saw as, my life passed by Were fields of empty people, laying down to die The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence To watch the burning sky. ---

Sheltering her ego on the edge of a floodlit arc She’ll contemplate seduction, she’ll calculate the catch When she moved, her presence speared me When she spoke, her words ensnared me Watch the lizard… Watch the lizard… Watch the lizard with the crimson veil She crucified my heart in the depth of a satin grave As I lay in sweating monologue I sensed the lovelight fade Within the spiral of the cigarette You betrayed your bedside etiquette I saw the lizard… I saw the lizard… I touched the lizard with the crimson veil ---

A lady with a violin playing to the seals Hearken to the sound of calling Who tied my hands to the wheel? The zodiac turns over me (Come to me) Somewhere there my fate revealed I hear but how will I see I tied myself to the wheel The winds talk to my sails, not me (Come to me) Somewhere there my fate revealed I hear but how will I see ---

I can hear the music playing I can hear the word that you’re saying I can see the love-life in your eyes What’s the use in looking for an answer I might find out, it could be a disaster Hold on to your own time, don’t let go Don’t let go I’m sitting at the wheel Watching the river roll, roll on by Sitting at the wheel Don’t let the river run dry Like a voyeur standing at the edge of time Looking for a reason that’s got no rhyme Love took a corner, shot off for a mile I’m sitting at the wheel Rock on — rocker ---

I remember the day that you first came my way Yes it stays in my mind like a song I remember the night when you first caught my sight And in spite of all that’s gone wrong The moon and the stars and the gentle guitars You stepped to the microphone You sang like a lark in the warm fragrant dark I could listen till the cows come home When it’s raining and cold and love’s losing its hold And you feel like you just want to sleep And the friends that you trusted, left you all busted And the hills that you climb are all steep Yeah your lovers and cronies have all turned out phonies Sold you a bag full of bones I’ll keep waiting there still on that last final hill And I will till the cows come home ---

It’s cold outside, it gets so hot in here And the boys and girls collide To the music in my ear I hear the children crying And I know it’s time to go I hear the children crying Take me home A painted face, and I know we haven’t long We thought that we had the answers It was the questions we had wrong I hear the children crying And I know it’s time to go I hear the children crying Take me home Sad song, sad song Sad song, sad song La lah la lah…La lah la lah…La lah lah… [Repeat 4x] ---

Hiding in a hotel room Somewhere in the west I heard they brought a priest in to sanctify the place But it remained unblessed Things move around My guitar sometimes plays itself They say it’s static electricity but Yesterday it took twenty dollars off the shelf There’s a young man here, says he married you, another time The children cry and ask where their mother is Gonna have to let them down I’ve been hurt… I’ve been around I’ve been waiting seems like eternity I’ve been waiting, waiting for you I’m still waiting, if you remember me I’ll be waiting, waiting for you ---

In pictures of living, in bloodshot a vision Sweet miracles and strange circumstances I see the sun up, the showdown, the cool winds that blow down On the big beat that life-long romance is You’ve got a gun in your hand, you’re making self plans Stay with me all through the night Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, open up your heart Sanctify yourself, sanctify Be apart of me, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free ---

Could you imagine the final sound is a gun Or the smashing windscreen of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you’d hear as you’re fading out Was a song? Arriving somewhere but not here All my designs, simplified And all of my plans, compromised And all of my dreams, sacrificed Ever had the feeling you’ve been here before? Drinking down the poison the way you were taught Ever thought from here on in your life begins And all you knew was wrong? Arriving somewhere but not here ---
