As you pour yourself a scotch
Crush a roach or check your watch As your hands adjust your tie people die In the towns with funny names Hit by bullets, caught in flames By and large not knowing why people die And in small places you don't know of Yet big for having no chance to scream Or say good-bye people die Chorus: La, la... Let me know People die as you elect New apostles of neglect, self restraint Whereby people die Too far off to practice love For thy neighbour, brother Slav Where your cherubs dread to fly people die Chorus... While the statues disagree Cain's version, history for its fuel Tends to buy Those who die As you watch the athletes score Or check your latest statement Or sing your child a lullaby people die Time, whose sharp, bloodthirsty quill Parts the killed from those who kill Will pronounce the latter tribe As your type Chorus |

Must have been walking
Don't know this place Somebody stopped talking It is written in my face Thought I'd never leave you Thought I'd never dare But I watched you going under That's a thought I could not bear Five thousand miles I'm away from you Drifting by the Spanish steps tonight Guess you've got my number Guess you got my line Guess you got my number Should I be on your mind Late at night your footsteps Barefoot on the floor Tender eyes from sleeping In the darkened corridor I come up the stairway My naked enemy Comes stumbling towards me Wish I could set you free |

Half in love and half in hate
Someone told me it is late Late on earth he said, maybe late in you And late in me Darker than it has to be Tell me just another lie Now we're woven under ice Tell me that there is no other I am a child Be my mother If you lie, babe If you bother Since you raised that wall around you Since I lost you I have found you strange And I could swear for sure Haven't seen that girl before Half in love and half at war Hey, you're looking strange And everything you do Girl, it seems arranged Dark words drift away I have nothing more to say Soon this moon will rise And in this stony night I have to see your face See the lines that make you old Stony silence, touched by gold Everything's too late Too late for love, and suddenly Too late for hate There's only one thing left to do I have to face this other you |

Sandalwood trees are evergreen
Cut them down Plant coffee beans Build no schools Construct no roads Mark them as fools Let ignorance rule Leave them stranded on their island Treat them to the tune of silence Red is the cross that covers out shame Every Kingdom, every land Has it's heart in the common land Silently the tide shifts the sand Bury my heart on East-Timor In coral sands On golden shores Buried are those Who lived their lives No place to hide for Father and child Leave them stranded on their island Treat them to the tune of silence We shake the hands that kill and forgive Every Kingdom, every land Has its heart in the common man Silently the tide shifts the sand Bury my heart on East-Timor On barren graves Where flowers won't grow Blooms our Red cross lovingly This nightingale deed So we can be free Stranded on their island This army of the silent We toast our own goodwill and forget Every kingdom, every land Has its heart in the common man Silently the tide shifts the sand |

On the street below these walls
Where I used to walk Now I can barely crawl All this darkness rising tall Lord, shine a light for me I'm waiting to be called I'm ready to go home I'm ready to receive Forgiveness for my sins I'm ready to begin Take this river to the sea Where the delta flows The tide is washing over me Take this soul to heaven's door Show me where tomorrow lies I'm waiting to be born I'm ready to lay down I'm ready now to sleep A promise I must keep I'm ready to go home So tired, I lay down with these memories I breathe shallow deep inside of me If time has run its course with me I'm ready to go home I'm ready to receive Forgiveness for my sins I'm ready to begin I'm ready to lay down I'm ready now to sleep A promise I must keep I'm ready to go home |

Lay me down tonight, I'm falling deep
I'm tired, now I'll sleep So close my eyes and take me in I'll leap into the night like wind I leave my body, leave my sword So lay me own, Father Lord Lay me down tonight, my heart is weak Much you give and much you seek I'll fall into a sea of sleep This sea of dreams, so red and deep I leave my spirit, leave my words So lay me down, Mother Earth Lay me down tonight, I'm giving in Let the works of life begin Your works of chaos, works of grace Creation Lord, in your own pace Word to flesh and flesh to word Father Lord, Mother Earth |

Baby
Are you holding the key Was it you that put a lock on my door Who sent you Are you as deep as the sea Well it takes a deep womb To shelter me I can hold you, girl And watch your heart settle down Feels like home But I'm lost somehow God made you beautiful I made you cry So listen, babe The sun's going down You know what I mean There ain't much time Cause we're the wild seed, girl And this land's being farmed You know a farmer takes great pride In what he leaves behind God made you beautiful I made you cry |

I say it as a friend He can handle the daylight But the night has its way Touch him Like no one did before No fingerprints on the dew So stay Whatever you do Watch him laughing Ooh he can't help it He sees through the eyes of a child When he sees you Baby The town you come from You said you'd like to leave Then say Where you gonna be Do you see me In your sleep The dreams you're dreaming Please be gentle, oh be gentle There can be no other Down so deep But you do see me Do you know what to keep Do you? So stay... |

You waited for me
When I was strong You never called You waited long Now I come back To sleep with you You love me still I love you, too You kept the house I could not keep You kissed good night And went to sleep Now I come back To sleep with you You love me still I love you, too Come with me To that room by the sea With a view of the moon and Los Angeles You're beautiful back then God, you're beautiful now Come with me Yeah, I was strong I had no choice The kids grew up And left the house But I come back To sleep with you You love me still I love you, too Come with me To that room by the sea |
