I throw a Molotov cocktail at the precinct You know how we think Organize the hood under I Ching banners Red, black, and green instead of gang bandanas F.B.I. spyin on us through the radio antennas And them hidden cameras in the streetlight watchin society With no respect for the people's right to privacy

Oh and every day you gaze upon the sunset With such love and intensity. Why it's almost as if, if you could only crack the code You'd finally understand what this all means.
But if you could, do you think you would trade it all? All the pain and suffering? But then you would've missed the beauty of the light upon this earth, And the sweetness of believing.
Calling all angels, calling all angels, Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone.

When you see her Angel with a broken wing Brush her hair from her aching eyes Distant thunder, Roll the clouds away Hear her laugh, on a winter day

Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one Who can give them the answers And lead them back to that place in the warmth of the sun Where sweet childhood still dances Who'll come along And hold out that strong and gentle father's hand? Long ago I heard someone say something 'bout Everyman
Waiting here for Everyman-- Make it on your own if you think you can If you see somewhere to go I understand
I'm not trying to tell you that I've seen the plan Turn and walk away if you think I am-- But don't think too badly of one who's left holding sand He's just another dreamer, dreaming 'bout Everyman

Outside of this window In ten degrees just before dawn A plastic Mary blinks Illuminated from the inside My heart glows with the spirit of Christmas Feelin' love, for lack of a better word Spirit of love, for lack of a better phrase The goodness in man is not what we've created below Spirit of love makes the wind blow And the winter comes, rides a winter storm Hands are cold, hearts are warm And the children play, out in the rugged cold Grandpa sways by the stove Feelin' love, for lack of a better word Spirit of love, for lack of a better phrase The goodness in man is not what we've created below Spirit of love makes the wind blow

Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens. Wipe my nose, get my new boots on. I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter, I put my hand in my father's glove.
I run off where the drifts get deeper, Sleeping Beauty, she trips me with a frown. I hear your voice, "You must learn to stand up for yourself, cause I can't always be around."
You say "When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind, cause things are gonna change so fast. All the white horses are still in bed. I tell you that I'll always want you near. You know that things change my dear."

I went down to the place Where I knew she lay waiting Under the marble and the snow I said, "Mother, I'm frightened By the thunder and the lightning I'll never come through this alone" She said, "Son, I'll be with you My shawl wrapped around you My hand on your head when you go" And the night came on It was very calm I wanted the night to go on and on But she said, "Go back, Go back to the World."

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ? I’m counting on you, Lord, please don’t let me down. Prove that you love me and buy the next round, Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?

Edit: Okay. Is that better? I didn't get the memo.

I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry. There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why. You're the only one who really knew me at all.

All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long...
Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees Feeling like a stranger nobody sees So many things that we never will undo I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too

The fiddler fiddles something so sublime All the women tear their blouses off And the men they dance on the polka-dots And it's partner found, it's partner lost And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops: It's closing time ...

It's coming to America first, the cradle of the best and of the worst. It's here they got the range and the machinery for change and it's here they got the spiritual thirst. It's here the family's broken and it's here the lonely say

I saw you this morning. You were moving so fast. Can't seem to loosen my grip On the past. And I miss you so much. There's no one in sight. And we're still making love In my secret life.

Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes You're covered in rain You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud Of another man, who served the world proud You greet another son, you lose another one On some sunny day and always stay, Mary

In another world which we could slip On the other side it’s a sinking ship Open the hatch it will make you smile For the party’s been going, going all the while Going all the while with a head of steam In another world made for you and me Right here right now under the moon and the sun In another world made for everyone

"And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids, And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses: How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing, For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips."

I never did a single thing that did a single thing To change the ugly ways of the world I didn't know it felt so right inside I didn't know it all I open up the curtains I heard sirens there, the lights flash and crawl But I did it justice I swear I did it for us all, you know

All the years combine, they melt into a dream, A broken angel sings from a guitar. In the end there's just a song comes cryin' up the night Thru all the broken dreams and vanished years. Stella blue . Stella blue

Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? Travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

A long day of being used Get accosted by the evening news In a world that looks for reasons to live I'm hooked on the reasons you give CHORUS Need you more and more Need your love more and more Romantics set aside Along with my cheap suit and cologne One smell of your armpits Is proof enough that I'm home
