I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
Oh, the deeper I spin
Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heavens white rose
The doors you open
I just can’t close
Don’t turn around, don’t turn around again
Don’t turn around, your gypsy heart
Don’t turn around, don’t turn around again
Don’t turn around, and don’t look back
Come on now love, don’t you look back!
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses?
Who’s gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who’s gonna taste your salt water kisses?
Who’s gonna take the place of me?
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses?
Who’s gonna tame the heart of thee?
Start it up with a goodnight kiss
My lips, your lips
She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you’ve caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
You’ll flow down her river
She’ll ask and you’ll give her
Lips like sugar - Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar - Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she’s thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she’s yours
She’s flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake
You’ll flow down her river
But you’ll never give her
Lips like sugar - Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar - Sugar kisses
Just when the thought occurs
The panic will pass
And the smell of the fields
Never lasts
Put your faith in those
Crimson nights
Set sail in those
Turquoise days
You’ve got a problem
Come on over
You got a problem
Come on over
It’s not for glory
It’s not for honor
Just something
Someone said
It’s not for love
It’s not for war
Just hands clasped together
It’s not for living
It’s not for hunger
Just lips locked tight
It’s not rebellion
It’s not suffering
It’s just the way it is
And my pistols packed
And my God goes with me
I fell easy
And I want it
And I need it
And I’ve got it
It’s not for this
It’s not for that
It’s not any of it
Did you say knowledge?
Did you say prayer?
Did you say anything?
If not for good
If not for better
If not the way it is
Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can’t buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old lady’s eyes
Just for fun he says, “Get a job.”
That’s just the way it is
Some things will never change
That’s just the way it is
Ah, but don’t you believe them
Every morning about this time
she get me out of my bed
a-crying get a job.
After breakfast, everyday,
she throws the want ads right my way
And never fails to say,
Get a job Sha na na na, sha na na na na
Sha na na na, sha na na na na,
Sha na na na, sha na na na na,
Sha na na na, sha na na na na,
Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip
Mum mum mum mum mum mum
Get a job Sha na na na, sha na na na na
Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I’m hoping it’s going to come true
But there’s not a lot I can do
Could we have kippers for breakfast?
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
Cos everyone’s a millionaire
I’m a winner, I’m a sinner
Do you want my autograph?
I’m a loser, what a joker
I’m playing my jokes upon you
While there’s nothing better to do
Another PT standard for buddha_dave:
Riding on a unicorn
Stranded in my mind
Electric raven met me there
To see what we could find
Strange days
Incredible days
Bring all my children to me
Strange ways
Incredible ways
On a dark stars endless journey
Endless realms of faded dreams
Lie stranded with the truth
We climb up on the wind of change
We say “You know the joke’s on you”
Strange days
Incredible days
Bring all my children to me
Strange ways
Incredible ways
On a dark stars endless journey
Johnny take a walk
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You’ve been living underground
Eating from a can
You’ve been running away
From what you don’t understand…
Love
She’s slipping
You’re sliding down
She’ll be there
When you
hit the ground
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right
She moves in mysterious ways
Stranded here on Planet Earth
It’s not much but it could be worse
Everything’s free here, there’s no crowds
Winter lasted five long years
No Sun will come again I fear
Chemical harvest was sown
And I will wait for you
Until the sky is blue
And I will wait for you
What else can I do?
A spaceship from another star
They ask me where all the people are
What can I tell them?
I tell them I’m the only one
There was a war but I must have won
Please, take me with you.
And I will wait for you
Until the sky is blue
And I will wait for you
What else can I do?
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
Nothing worth doing that I haven’t tried.
There ain’t no living on planet-side,
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
How many cities crumble into dust
At the first atomic attack?
How many self-aware, wise, and just
Computers will we have to hack?
How many supercars will turn to rust
'Cause we don’t have a spare or a jack?
Give me technology we can trust,
And give it fins like a Cadillac.
I want a shining tower of glass and steel,
A rubber jumpsuit and a freeze-dried meal,
The will to survive, the need to explore,
The love of adventure, who could ask for more?
I want you, baby, right by my side,
Help me get out before my brain is fried.
The stars are waiting, so big and wide,
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
You found the ladder in the pattern of your wrist
You’ve seen and you’ve marked horizons
Mother was difficult, she made you cry
Cover the mirror, look to the sky
You climb into your rocket ship trying
Lift up and hold out your hands
Saturn is orbiting nothing
Is off on its own
It’s breaking from home
Saturn is orbiting nothing
Is off on its own
It’s breaking from home
Saturn returns when you chase down, it slows
Throw them into a new gravity
Harder to look yourself square in the eye
Easy to poke yourself, easy as pie
Easy to take off, harder to fly
Harder to wake Galileo
When the moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie
That’s amore.
Fly me to the moon, let me sail among the stars.
No time to forget this
World’s in your eyes
Sway in the cloud blur
And light up the sky
Cast off the colour
And tune in to black
The moon touches your shoulder
And brings the day back
Black, black, black, Black is the color of my true love’s hair,
Her face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the sweetest hands
I love the ground on where she stands
I love the ground on where she stands
Black is the color of my true love’s hair
Of my true love’s hair
Of my true love’s hair
There’s no escape
There’s no way out of here
I’m locked in this universe
The real world will disappear
Where fantasy dies
You will see our dreams
Material lies - Materialize
Computer eyes - Computerize
Virtual reality - computer override
Actual fantasy locked away inside
Am I no more than a program, an artificial dream?
A river of electrons flowing with the stream
A parallel dimension battle simulations
Mind over matter brain stimulation
I don’t know if I exist I think therefore I am
Without emotions I’m but a hologram
There’s no escape
I’m locked in this Universe
Where fantasy dies
Material lies
Computer eyes
Then you’re the love that I’ve looked for
Come with me and escape
The White Bird dreams of the aspen trees
With their dying leaves
Turning gold
But the White Bird just sits in the cage
Growing old
White Bird must fly
Or she will die
The sunsets come
The sunsets go
The clouds roll by
And the Earth turns slow
And the young bird’s eyes do always glow
And she must fly
She must fly
She must fly
