| Fallen Angel |
|
You can be saved in baptismal waters A blessed virgin child You can behave and ignore that you notice Questions all the while But don't ask for truth and conscience Don't ask why Eve was an angel Heaven's the big time, baby So don't ask for more than you bargained Be sweet and sane and you're pardoned Eve was born for the man Don't forget your place You can be veiled in a foreign country Never show your skin You can be traded with all your dowry Suffering for sin But don't ask for truth and conscience Don't ask why Eve was an angel Heaven's the big time, baby So don't ask for more than you bargained Be sweet and sane and you're pardoned Eve was born for the man Don't forget your place Fallen angel.... |

Floating on this water Couldn't be any better 'Less I sank to the floor And could breathe Clouds roll by In shapes of butterflies And there's no time To miss you any more Now I can breathe Funny when nobody's listening The truth catches easy There's no more fishin' I'm up and away Without you here I'm captive Polishing the looking glass There's no one to be Without you here And everything's fine I'm starting over Polishing the looking glass Fairy tales and fables Many lies are on the table In this crazy world Sodom and Gomorrah Not the storyville of horror That we have today what's been happening? You said that you'd go away If i had given in To tell you lies And play you for a fool I'm coming off like a roller coaster The silly games and mistakes I want you to know I want you to know |

Your hands are strong, their rings of silver You kiss mama goodbye And we both know she would never see A love supreme with sunset colors I am not the love they'd bless your Soul to keep forever There's more to this than she could bear Her rosary would wear away I'll be right here Just like I have always been Under the radar I'll worship every single smile Under the radar Like fingerprints on stained glass windows I'd muddy up the way that they have thought of you Your hair in trails of Absalom I'll bear this cross to hold you Swallowing all the blame There's more to this than she could bear Her rosary would wear away I'll be right here Just like I have always been Under the radar I'll worship every single smile Under the radar And the road is long for this Too long for a kiss I'll never know You can put your trust in me To remain quietly And let you go If you ever want |

Out here it's 95 degrees in the shade There's nothing left, but ashes of the plans we made I'll be the last one standing, I'm not afraid Of trippin' over myself, worrying 'bout the things they said It feels just like being alone I wish I was at home with you You're the only thing that's real All the books I've read just leave me cold Same lies, same confessions, same stories being told It's amazing how cheaply everyone's bought and sold How easy we break, how easily we fold And you know It feels just like being alone I wish I was at home with you You're the only thing that's real I can do anything Act like a fool or I can sing about you You're the only thing that's real It's so easy to stumble, so easy to lose your way It won't take much to forget what you're trying to say |

Elijah weeps to the pavement Hands outstretched and worn Everyday is getting harder But what does it matter She says my love Oh could you help me But it resolves to nothing Her words cry out Like a flock of black birds she says could you spare.... But he doesn't bother Fallen once Now falling faster We'll dissolve to laughter 'Cause we're all here But hardly notice We're not getting better I wake up early Grab my things and I'm out the door Everyday I'm working harder To keep up the payments And the rise and the fall Up above the carpet clouds Perspective changes 'Cause we're wrestling over tiny matters The majesty Of all we forget I'm stuck on a jet plane And I remember Fallen once Now falling faster We'll dissolve to laughter 'Cause we're all here But hardly notice We're not getting better The sky is screaming We've taken over So self-important and overdone some believe That we're all angels But we don't remember |

If I had a genie in a bottle I'd make my mother the president I'd buy up all the radio stations And find out where the hell the aliens went My three wishes I found a genie by the toy joy store My three wishes No one believes me so I'm getting three more I'd buy a house beside Mount Wilson Take Dalai Lama for a spin in my car Make growing hemp a fine profession Feed super-models all the candy bars She is my favorite girlfriend She helps me pay my rent I never have to wash the dishes She never asks me how my money's spent I'd bring back all the drive-in movies I'd have a pet blue dragon I'd buy my friends a big jet airplane Instead of living in this little club wagon |

Hear the rattle Change is coming Baby could you leave me something Hold me 'til I cannot breathe I'll wake to find you gone Well I don't mind this at all You said that I'd be better off To find another love 'Cause life's been kinder to me I will wait this time 'Cause this is stronger than you think I will stay to show you something The world is missing It's hiding under The shame and wishing We could finish all that's been undone wrap around it Break it open Push it down the stairs or something This is what we've come here for To open wide the change Some believe in suffering Keep the lock and toss the key It's better, easier and all |

My friend John he's a flattop He's a cop on the eastern side He's a watchdog sent on a paper bag chase where the children's Guns all hide in the school yard Cops are angry Kids are angry But no one is to blame Is it loaded? Does it make you feel OK? Would you do it? Is it loaded? All your strength in a bullet shell Would you do it? His girl Jane she's a good one In the night she'll always pray That a twelve year old boy packing more than his lunch Ain't the statistical end to her husband's day Cops are angry Kids are angry But no one is to blame Sunny stands on the corner and plans a surprise For his wedding day He got his meal on a brown bag deal And gets stopped by a cop on his way The gun barrel size really widens his eyes As he hopes for a chance to explain And now the flowers and people Cry up to the steeple and beg for someone Won't you please explain? Is it loaded...? |

Three years in May since I woke up And you opened up to me A year and two months now since we broke up But you were holding on for me Every now and then I think Can't believe you're here You made me strong You made me whole A lion sleeps inside your soul How much I needed Nobody knows How much you saved I'm amazed You have made me more than this I've never wanted more than this How much I wanted Nobody knows Hip your mind to the beats and the story 'Cause there's a lesson in this thing I would lie and believe what I'm saying My pride was a hurting thing Every now and then I cry For the joy you bring You helped me change you helped me know A lion sleeps inside my soul All this time the road's been winding So much was crazy hurting myself No one accepts this world could be heaven Fighting each other And leaving again |

The smell of sweat and suntan lotion The smell of the wind coming off the ocean It's like summertime perfume The rising tide and the babies tanning Who knows what they might be planning? They ain't got nothing else to do They don't know what it's like to be lonely They dance when they walk And they turn around and say Kiss me baby Young lovers they got so much in common They both love sunsets and chocolate almonds I'd sell my soul to be that innocent again She believes everything he says And he likes her in a short, short dress But they don't even know where to begin |

Baby, baby, baby, we've been battling for days And I'm holding on to my rope's end 'Cause maybe honey maybe Seems that's all you have to say And I'm praying for fate to come back and hold you Squeeze you Tell you this We've got it all We've got everything It's golden in my mind Don't let me down Hope will awaken now Would you leave this love behind? Baby, are we not suffering enough? Seems there's plenty of pain to be borrowed We're created for the garden But so many feel forgotten Do you forget what it feels to be lonely? Don't you leave me lonely The sun will rise on this paradise And you know the greatest of all is love We're born here alone to find The world's in a wicked time But still the greatest of all is love |

I feel you wrap around me Then I wake again to find That the devil's laughing at me Counting every single time That I have said I love you Ever since you went away Then I plead a prayer to Mary 'Cause there's nothing left to say Superman could never save me From what I've done Suffering my twisted head You said you would be the one I'll be running on I guess you didn't notice But I was begging you to stay The summer heat is over But I still need your chocolate shake I like mine thick with cherries When I call you seem amused You say that you still love me But all your sweetness has been used And I'm leaving |

He said, "It felt just like the end of the world to watch her walk away" And anyone could've seen there was nothing he could've done just to make her stay Smoking the remains of last night's cigarette Standing in his worn-out shoes For a minute I was in Paris, October of '30 Feelin' someone else's blues If I could make it through this one There's something 'round the corner It's got to get better than this I tell myself if I make it through this time, I'll be okay But it gets harder to listen to yourself when you've heard everything you have to say I can take a punch as good as anyone but this one's gonna leave a bruise Sometimes I wish I was anywhere but here feelin' someone else's blues At night we lay inside each other's arms a little shelter before we call it a day I still might be lost and confused and desperate enough to pray Thinking how he let her go I know I still got plenty left to lose Sometimes I can still find a little comfort in someone else's blues |
