You’re a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes.
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis.
The blackest wrath
The Earth shall crumble
Mountains of your skulls shall tumble
Death, decay, destroy forever
Nightmare’s scratching, dreams I’ll sever
If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.
Go rest high on that mountain, Son your work on earth is done…
Listen baby, ain’t no mountain high
Ain’t no valley low, ain’t no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me no matter where you are
No matter how far don’t worry baby
Just call my name I’ll be there in a hurry
You don’t have to worry
Pictures of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the Cha-Cha through till sunrise
Opens up exclusive doors, but
Just like flamingoes look the same
So me and you, just we two, got to reach for something new
Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people; They took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties; They paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race
Out every evening until it was light
He was too tired to make it; she was too tired to fight about it.
And if I chose the one I’d like to help me through
I’d like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl
I’m solid gold,
I’ve got the goods,
They stand when I walk through the neighborhoods.
I’m makin’ it,
I’ve got the chance, I’m takin’ it.
No more, no more, fakin’ it,
This time in life, I’m makin’ it.
Rock on gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon
Dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I’ll pray
I keep going to the river to pray…
Take me to the river,
And wash me down,
Won’t you cleanse my soul,
Put my feet on the ground.
She could drag me
Over the rainbow
And send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead, oh, shot her dead
We’d go down to the river
And into the river we’d dive
Oh down to the river we’d ride
Heart and soul
Body and mind
Meet me on the river of time
Meet me on the river of time
Time, flowing like a river,
Time, beckoning me.
Who knows when we shall meet again, if ever.
But time keeps flowing like a river,
To the sea.
No such day as tomorrow, only one two three go!
Time - got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Time - got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Time - got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Tickin’ in my head, tickin’ in my head, tickin’ in my head
“Now you’ll never get to Heaven” Mama said,
Remember Mama said,
Ticking, ticking.
“Grow up straight and true blue,
Run along to bed.”
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking…
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain’t the way to have fun, son
That ain’t the way to have fun, son
