And you stand there, with ashes blowing past
Dipping into gilt-edged love that will be made at last
And the gold you spend and the hastening end
That you throw into the sea
Coming back a hundredfold, there’s no guarantee
One day-doubtless, cloudless, bright
We’ll shake away the shadows of eternal night
It’s just the storm before the calm
Like the life held in your palm - it’s clay, one day
Drifting beyond all time
Out of a churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light of the dark eternal night
Trapped in a hellish dream
Spinning past worlds unseen
And frightfully vanishing into the dark eternal night
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you
Tomorrow I’ll miss you
Remember I’ll always be true
And then while I’m away
I’ll write home every day
And I’ll send all my loving to you
Baby, I get so scared inside and I don’t really understand
Is it love that’s on my mind, or is it fantasy?
Heaven is in the palm of my hand and it’s waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?
Faustus you’ve got nothing to fear
It may be hell down there
'Cause it’s heaven up here
I’d have given forever for a few good years
But too much of a muchness is too much you hear
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
But it’s sad to see our chances weakening with ev’ry hour
All your followers are blind
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful, but now it’s sour
I don’t believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don’t believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state
I don’t believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there’s a ghost of a chance
We can find someone to love
And make it last
I believe in miracles
Where you from, you sexy thing?
Sexy thing, you
I believe in miracles
Since you came along, you sexy thing
So if I tell you
That you are really somethin’, baby
Will you stay or will you go away?
(Don’t go away)
And when I lay my good lovin’ on you (baby)
What will it cost me (baby)
What will you make me Pay?
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An’ if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
This indecision’s buggin’ me (Indecisión me molesta)
If you don’t want me, set me free (Si no me quieres, librame)
Exactly whom I’m supposed to be (Dime! ¿Qué tengo ser?)
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on TV?
Just like somebody on TV!
Girl you got this need to know what I’m all about
There’s something that you dig you can’t figure out
Well, you wanna know what moves my soul
And what ticks inside of my brain
But I’ve got this need I just can’t control, and it’s
A-drivin’ me insane
Listen
I was brought up on a side street
I learned how to love before I could eat
I was educated from good stock
When I start lovin’ I just can’t stop
I’m a soul man
Once he starts it’s hard to stop
He’s keeping up a pace like a tight wound clock
And as he leaves the table (no luck today?)
You can rest assured he’s coming back to try again
Wind him up, he can’t stop
He’s wound up tight just like the clock
That’s winding its second hand down
I couldn’t say where she’s coming’ from,
But I just met a lady named Dinah-Moe Humm
She strolled on over, said look here, bum,
I got a forty dollar bill says you can’t make me cum
(You just can’t do it)
She’ll be comin’ 'round the mountain when she comes.
This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she’s on top
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise all above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
