> Got woken in the night
By a mystic golden light My head soaked in river water I had been dressed in a coat of armor They called a horse out of the woodland ""Take her there through the desert shores."" They sang to me, ""This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back Now."" The smell of redwood giants The banquet for the shadows Horse and I, we're dancers in the dark Came upon the headdress It was gilded, dark and golden The children sang I was so afraid I took it to my head and prayed They sang to me, ""This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back."" They sang to me, ""This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back."" There is no turning back There is no turn There is no turning back There is no turn There is no turning back There is no turn |

The trophy that I made for us
In fur and gold Got into the wrong pair of hands And truth was sold They bought it for, oh, so much less Then it was worth And every man that touched it Found a heaven on earth Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms The queens and the court jesters Clapped, adored Their hearts swelled to overdrive And mercy soared Mercy this and mercy that Let justice prevail But I just want my trophy back It's not for sale Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot Shoot them down and set me free Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot Shoot them down and set me free When I got my trophy back It took some time To polish it to gold from black And shoot the lion When I put it back inside And locked the door Our trophy of mercy Is a trophy no more Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot Shoot them down and set me free Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot Shoot them down and set me free |

Community saw the best in me
Exchanging the common heart for salt in the sea Children of the sun on a highway of hope Beauty of coming together in sorrow Tahiti, we don't got no name Tahiti, we don't got no home Tahiti, we don't got no money Tahiti, we don't got no honey But we do the dishes And we make the bread We are powdered ashes In the light of the beauty, he said Wear those dark glasses To help us see Hot tears rolling down And our arms are knitted all around you Creatures of the night On a highway of hope The beauty that we'll leave Each other tomorrow Tahiti, we don't got no name Tahiti, we don't got no home Tahiti, we don't got no money Tahiti, we don't got no honey |

> We walked arm in arm
But I didn't feel his touch A desire I'd first tried to hide That tingling inside was gone And when he asked me Do you still love me? I had to look away I didn't want to tell him That my heart grows colder with each day When you love someone But the thrill is gone And your kisses at night Are replaced with tears And when your dreams are wrong A train to train wreck town Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do? He said he'd take me away That we'd work things out And I didn't want to tell him But it was then I had to say Over the times we've shared It's all blackened out And my bat lightning heart Wants to fly away When you love someone But the thrill is gone And your kisses at night Are replaced with tears And when your dreams are on A train to train wreck town Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do? What's a girl to do? What's a girl to do? What's a girl to do? |

I don't like the things you don't say
Leaving it for such a long long time Why do you show me those sad sad eyes Each time you decide to pass on by And when you smile those sad eyes Look sadder and sadder still Autumn's hue in those sad eyes Makes me love and love them more I'll have a bath, I'll make the dinner And then I'll go wait for a long long time But still you've not passed my door And when you smile those sad eyes Look sadder and sadder still I can tell that you're lonely But it seems now There's nothing you want me to do So I won't try to take the sadness From those eyes that I love Leave it open for someone else to And when you smile those sad eyes Look sadder and sadder still Trying to hold it together Keep my love as light as a feather Sad eyes baby it's been such a long time Keep my heart breaking in the dark Come and spend the night Trying to hold it together Keep my love as light as a feather Sad eyes baby it's been such a long time Keep my heart breaking in the dark Come and spend the night Sad eyes, sad eyes, sad eyes... |

I saw a light
I saw a light Coming through the trees I saw a light Coming through the trees Freshly cut lawns And little children sleepwalking I saw a light I saw a light Shining on a car And a couple inside Had committed suicide Death in your arms Death in your arms I saw a light I saw a light Coming through the trees And I packed my things After I saw the light I packed my thing The light gave me life And helped me see more clearly And the children went to sleep And the car was towed away And the leaves were rustling As the night turned to day I saw a light Getting smaller in the distance And I said goodbye |
