| A &b song
|
| A says hes glad to be here, bs chasing storms in the lightning state,
|
| Where everyday above ground is a good day, and life is great.
|
| As got a cocaine body, bs got a benylin brain,
|
| A knows hes gonna be some body, b dont believe in fame.
|
| And all our time slips away
|
| As got a girl for each season, bs got a mail order bride,
|
| A knows hes headed for salvation, bs afraid to die.
|
| If hell is in the detail, babe, Im a microscope,
|
| I know Ill live to see you swinging, given enough rope.
|
| And all our time slips away
|
| As growing tired of conversation, hes ready for his final scene,
|
| Bs whistling hotel california, and still living out the dream.
|
| Here we are together, lets roll the dice just one more time,
|
| Odd number says we walk away now, even says we die… dont wanna die.
|
| And all our time slips away
|
| And all our time slips away

| Language of fools
|
| I cannot use this language of fools to communicate with you.
|
| The things that you say to mark the time of the day are calculated to bemuse.
|
| And hey yeah… hey hey yeah
|
| Wont you hide me, wont you hold my life, let me have this time.
|
| And lie here while I close my eyes, hold me through this night.
|
| One good day will lead the way for another, my love.
|
| Living here things are never so clear you discover my love,
|
| And hey yeah… hey hey yeah.
|
| Wont you hide me, wont you hold my life, let me have this time.
|
| And lie here while I close my eyes, hold me through this night.
|
| Hide me, wont you hold my weight, hold me through this night.

|
| Get me out, get me out, get me out of this room, let me see.
|
| Cut it out, cut it out, rip it out from this wound, let me bleed.
|
| But wait now, wait now for me… wont you…
|
| Shut it out, shut it out, black it out with the night, to put me at ease wont
|
| You…
|
| Talk it out, talk it out, yell out to the ghosts that stalk the street.
|
| But wait now, wait now for me…
|
| And well sail on the high tide, drift on the open sea.
|
| Ive been waiting for so long.
|
| Take my hand, take my hand, kiss me softly, then take your leave. |
| wont you.
|
| Sit down, sit down, take the weight of me, let me grieve.
|
| But wait now, wait now for me.
|
| And well sail on the high tide, drift on the open sea.
|
| Ive been waiting for so long.
|
| But wait now, wait now for me.
|
| And well sail on the high tide, drift on the open sea.
|
| Ive been waiting for so long.

| Sau paulo rain
|
| Theres always a party on funeral row, where the cross flashes red to the
|
| Street.
|
| And gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans, hes grazing the surface od sleep.
|
| The vultures on main street are eyeing you up, calculating the wait of your
|
| Bones.
|
| And midnight graffiti appears on your door, so we all can sleep safe in our
|
| Homes.
|
| And the storms in the distance hold no rain, and I feel my resistance giving
|
| Way.
|
| Shelter me from this sky, dance with me one last time… sau paulo rain… sau
|
| Paulo rain
|
| Do not disturb this blood red earth, theres giants sleeping beneath,
|
| And carnival queens on their deathbed scenes all go through the motions of Grief.
|
| Take another hit, let the bottle slip through your fingers and break like a Promise made…
|
| The day I remember, my heart I will keep, my voice I surrender and I will not
|
| Speak to lie.
|
| We were so alive, we were so alive.
|
| Shelter me from this sky, dance with me one last time… sau paulo rain… sau
|
| Paulo rain
