I love you sometimes
Always never
He said you’re here
Here with me now

It’s growing cold
I’m growing old
Is this the only way to see the fire?
It’s raining

5942

I saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her
She didn’t seem to care
She sat there and smiled at me

5943

I’m standing in the rain
I’m waiting all alone
I’m so tired
I wanna go home

I’m standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I’m doing my best
But what do I get?

5944

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I’m goin’ back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun

5945

Is this the train to Desert Moon
Was all she said
But I knew I’d heard
That stranger’s voice before

5946

I remember ooo how the darkness doubled
I recall lightning struck itself

I was listening
Listening to the rain
I was hearing
Hearing something else

Life in the hive puckered up my night,
A kiss of death, the embrace of life
Ooo there I stand neath the Marquee Moon,
Just waiting

5947

I don’t wanna go to Sunset Strip
I don’t wanna feel the emptiness
Old marquees with stupid band names
I don’t wanna go to Sunset Strip

5948

Let’s go down to the Sunset Grill
We can watch the working girls go by
Watch the basket people walk around and mumble
And stare out at the auburn sky

5949

Roxanne
you don’t have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don’t have to sell your body to the night

5950

Bombs away
Ya’ pay to play
Satisfaction guarantee
She’s out tonight
She’s dynamite
Red lite, green lite, TNT
Red lite, green lite, TNT

5951

Bombs away
But we’re O.K.
Bombs away
In old Bombay

5952

I hear the roar of the big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear
Dive bombers, and
Empire down
Empire down

5953

We can rise and fall like empires
Flow in and out like the tide
Be vain and smart, humble and dumb
We can hit and miss like pride

5954

“We’re down, lads!” came a cry, bow plunging from the sky
Three thousand horses silent as the ship began to die
The flares to guide her path ignited at the last
The Empire of the Clouds, just ashes in our past
Just ashes at the last…

5955

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who’s all dressed up like a Union Jack
And says, I’ve won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack

I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don’t hang around 'cause two’s a crowd

5956

I set the clouds in motion
Turn up light and sound
Activate the Windows
And watch the world go round

5957

We’ve got magic to do… Just for you
We’ve got miracle plays to play
We’ve got parts to perform… Hearts to warm
Kings and things to take by storm
As we go along our way

5958

Still the dragons reign supreme
Breathing fire till we scream
They leave us nothing but our dreams
No shield can save us
It’s gonna take a miracle
We’re searching for a miracle

5959

Wheel of Fortune, Sally Ride, heavy metal, suicide
Foreign debts, homeless Vets, AIDS, Crack, Bernie Goetz
Hypodermics on the shores, China’s under martial law
Rock and Roller Cola wars, I can’t take it anymore

We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
But when we are gone
It will still burn on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on…

5960

Burning down the house
Hold tight wait till the party’s over
Hold tight We’re in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
