No one’s born with hatred, it’s something that you learn How do you think the good Lord feels about the crosses you burn? What makes you hate the difference of someone’s skin or race? You must think you have more rights to be living in this place I don’t know what you feel, or have you lost your mind? Afraid to take a look at yourself, afraid of the things you will find You’re no friend of mine ---

You, you’re just a really bad person Who won’t, you won’t listen to anyone No not you With those half moon eyelids Just babbling on, your useless defenses So sad Disappointed a few people When friendship reared its ugly head Disappointed a few people Well isn’t that what friends are for (What friends are for) What friends are for (What friends are for) What are friends for? ---

But just because I’m weak, You can steal my dreams. You can reach inside my head, And you can put your song there instead. Please, come to me. Please, stay with me. Please, sing, cry, cry. Sing to me, raven, I miss her so much. Sing to me, Lily, I miss you so much. ---

I dreamed I met a Galilean A most amazing man He had that look You very rarely find The haunting hunted kind I asked him To say what had happened How it all began I asked again He never said a word As if he hadn’t heard And next the room was full Of wild and angry men They seemed to hate this man They fell on him and then disappeared Then I saw thousands of millions Crying for this man And then I heard them mentioning my name And leaving me the blame ---

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? ---

You are the moon pulling my black waters You are the land in my dark closet Stay by my side until it all goes dark forever When silent the silence comes closer Deathbed memories of home Never let me go Within there’s every little memory resting calm in me Resting in a dream Smiling back at me The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home To caress the river with awe ---

Grim faced and forbidding Their faces closed tight An angular mass of New Yorkers Pacing in rhythm, race the oncoming night They chase through the streets of Manhattan Head first humanity, pause at a light Then flow through the streets of the city They seem oblivious to a soft spring rain Like an English rain So light, yet endless From a leaden sky yeah ---
