[From the movie _Anastasia_…]  
One step down this road.  
I know someones waiting.  
Years of dreams just can’t go wrong.  
Arms will open wide.  
I’ll be safe & wanted.  
Finally home where I belong.  
Yes, let this be a sign.  
Let this road be mine.  
Let it lead me to my past.  
& Bring me home at last.

</div>

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,  
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home;  
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,  
Which seek thro’ the world, is ne’er met elsewhere.  
Home! Home!  
Sweet, sweet home!  
There’s no place like home  
There’s no place like home!

</div>

Take me to your heart  
Feel me in your bones  
Just one more night  
And I’m comin’ off this long & winding road  
I’m on my way, I’m on my way  
Home sweet home  
Tonight, tonight  
I’m on my way, I’m on my way  
Home sweet home

Does it feel that you life’s become a catastrophe?  
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.  
When you look through the years and see what you could  
Have been oh, what might have been,  
If you’d had more time.

So, when the day comes to settle down,  
Who’s to blame if you’re not around?  
You took the long way home  
You took the long way home…

</div>

I was inside looking outside  
Oh the millions of faces but still I’m alone  
Waiting, hours of waiting  
I could feel the tension, I was longing for home  
I’m looking out for the two of us  
And I hope we’ll be here when they’re through with us  
I’m coming home

Monday, sad sad Monday  
She’s waiting for me  
But I’m a long, long way from home

</div>

Through the last town  
Through the week  
I kissed you once on a sunny street  
I want to get to know you inside out now  
I want to get to know you inside out now

I promise you all that I have soon  
And there’s enough in the blues

This is a new day  
This is the faith  
I’ll be the founder  
And you’ll be the way

</div>

Please  
Say the right words  
Or cry like the stone white clown  
And stand forever  
Lost forever in a happy crowd

No one lifts their hands  
No one lifts their eyes  
Justified with empty words  
The party just gets better and better

I went away alone  
With nothing left  
But faith

[OK, old Cure songs…]

So they close together  
Dressed in red and yellow  
In a song forever  
Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms  
Still dream

Further we go  
And older we grow  
The more we know  
The less we show

God made the mountains  
God made the sky  
God made the people  
God knows why

He fixed up the planet  
As best as He could  
Then in come the people  
And gum it up good

The first thing you know

Each little flow’r that opens,  
Each little bird that sings,  
He made their glowing colors,  
He made their tiny wings.

_All things bright and beautiful,  
All creatures great and small,  
All things wise and wonderful:  
The Lord God made them all._

It’s a beautiful world we live in  
A sweet romantic place  
Beautiful people everywhere  
The way they show they care  
Makes me want to say

It’s a beautiful world  
It’s a beautiful world  
It’s a beautiful world  
For you  
For you  
For you

It’s not for me

The colors of the rainbow,  
So pretty in the sky.  
Are also on the faces,  
Of people going by,  
I see friends shaking hands.  
Saying, “How do you do?”  
They’re really saying,  
“I love you”.

I hear babies cry,  
I watch them grow,  
They’ll learn much more,  
Than I’ll ever know.  
And I think to myself,  
What a wonderful world.

Once he was a child with burning desires  
With hopes and dreams of what was to come  
So he’s lost some faith but still there are fires  
Deep inside that he must drench to numb

If we could try to share some of his wounds just for a while  
But we’re all just people passing by

</div>

Elixir of laughter seeps from the whim  
Of a man distant from misery  
Removed from treachery

Don’t tell me  
Of skies remaining gray  
Speak to me of children’s hands  
Locked tightly in play

After the fire  
Hearts sing higher

So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick  
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'cause fire is the devil’s only friend

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage  
My hands were clenched in fists of rage  
No angel born in hell  
Could break that Satan’s spell

And as the flames climbed high into the night  
To light the sacrificial rite  
I saw Satan laughing with delight  
The day the music died

</div>

Now in darkness, world stops turning  
Ashes where the bodies burning  
No more war pigs of the power  
Hand of God has struck the hour  
Day of Judgment, God is calling  
On their knees the war pigs crawling  
Begging mercy for their sins  
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings  
Oh Lord yeah!

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.  
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.  
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.  
You’re nearly a good laugh, almost worth a quick grin.  
You like the feel of steel, you’re hot stuff with a hat pin,  
And good fun with a handgun.  
You’re nearly a laugh, you’re nearly a laugh,  
But you’re really a cry.

Windy bus-stop. Click. Shop-window. Heel.  
Shady gentleman. Fly-button. Feel.  
In the underpass, the blind man stands.  
With cold flute hands.  
Symphony match-seller, breath out of time.  
You can call me on another line.

Now from his pocket quick he flashes  
The crayon on the wall he slashes  
Deep upon the advertising  
A single-worded poem comprised  
Of four letters

And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding  
The poem across the tracks rebounding  
Shadowed by the exit light  
His legs take their ascending flight  
To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night

In a trance petrified to dance  
You wait in the wings for your curtain call  
On your marks come on, get set go  
People defend your sovereignty  
We had a deal, you were divine  
We had a feel that was smoking  
I’m not fooling around,  
As the merry go round  
Or convulse on the floor like a rabid

Scratch your name  
The truest love is insane
