It seems every day now
You hear people say now
Look out for The Cheater!
Make way for the fool-hearted clown!
Look out for The Cheater!
He’s gonna build you up
Just to let you down!
As you wish for kingdom come
The one to know all the answers
You think you dwell in wisdom’s sea
Still, sweet ignorance is the key
To a poet’s paradise
Challenge the Riddler and you will see
Riddler, Riddler ask me why
All mothers beneath the Earth and sky
Hold their children’s hands for a while
Their hearts forever… yours and mine
I didn’t believe them
Magneto and Titanium Man …
But when the Crimson Dynamo
Finally assured me, well, I knew
Superman never made any money
Saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair
The world will never see another man like him
Superman or Green Lantern ain’t got nothin’ on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea
A you, you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
'Bout all the rainbows you can a-have for your own
Lovin’ the free and feelin’ spirit
Of hugging a tree, when you get near it.
Diggin’ the snow and rain and the bright sunshine.
Draggin’ the line [draggin’ the line].
Draggin’ the line [draggin’ the line].
I feel fine. I’m talkin’ ‘bout peace of mind.
I’m gonna take my time. I’m gettin’ the good sign.
Draggin’ the line [draggin’ the line].
Draggin’ the line [draggin’ the line].
I know I need a small vacation but it don’t look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won’t ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
You are a paradox to me, a senseless maze
I run around, I’m looking for you all of my days
The more that you want it, the more that you need it
The less that it does
She said, any way you want it
That’s the way you need it
Any way you want it
She said, all night, all night…
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the nigh
We’re walking in the air, we’re floating in a moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I’m holding very tight, I’m riding in the midnight blue
I’m finding I can fly, so high above with you
I’m floating over strange land,
It’s a soulless, sequined, showbiz moon.
I’m floating over strange land,
And then stranger still, there’s no balloon.
All the older children
Come out at night
Anemic, soulless
Great hunger in their eyes
Unaware of the beauty
That sleeps tonight
Lala kahle [Sleep well]
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
Imbube
Ingonyama ifile [The lion’s in peace]
Ingonyama ilele [The lion sleeps]
Thula [Hush]
Hush my darling, be still my darling, the lion’s on the phone,
Hush my darling, be still my darling, the lion’s on the phone
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) my love
You can call me any day or night
Call me
Gloria.
I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
That you’ve been living under.
I try to sing this song
I…I try to help you
But I can’t find the door
The door is open
You’re standing there
You let me in
Gloria…in te domine
Gloria…exultate
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I’d give it to you
[dupe from server hiccup]
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be:
world without end. Amen.
