Do you really wanna know me Do you care what's inside Can you ever really show me There's no secrets I must hide
If I bare my soul can you accept it all My darkest corner's safe behind a wall
Do you really wanna know me...at all
Bridge: I can't accept the pain My brain screams like a runaway train Trying to keep my heart on track The embers turned to flame and I want you back But I can't trust a memory I can't trust a memory... No I can't trust me
Verse II: Do you really wanna know me Do you know what makes me smile Can you ever really promise me This time it's not a lie
I'll believe it's true when you're standin' at my door I'm always here for you and I'll open it once more
Do you really wanna know me... Do you really wanna know me... At all...
Do you really wanna know me... Do you really wanna know me... At all...
Do you really wanna know me... Do you really wanna know me... At all...
The roses they can't hurt you I know the roses they can't hurt you
Sally don't you go, don't you go downtown Sally don't you go, don't you go downtown The saddest thing in the whole wide world Is to see your baby with another girl Sally don't you go, don't you go downtown
4 bar solo
Sally go round the roses Sally go round the roses Sally go round the roses Sally go round the roses
It seems we're headed for a total breakdown It keeps on getting harder to connect If this is not a war between the sexes Well then some kind of hex is in effect
The ones we used to call the happy couple Have given up on romance altogether How that perfect one could come undone Looks like love's in for a run of nasty weather
Lines are down, streets are redded Pipes cracked, apartments gutted The tough are gettin' goin', 'cause the goin's gettin' tough Everybody's breakin' up
Verse: It seems we've come upon some kind of impasse An ending to this fractured fairy tale What once upon a time were little home sweet homes Are now just houses up for sale
Streets ahush, a grim reminder No lovers laughter, no organ grinder He's out of work, the monkey run off with the cup Seems like everybody's breakin' up
Seven year itch, or mid-life crisis We're comin' unhitched, goin' back to old vices
The tough are gettin' goin' cause the goin's gettin' tough Everybody's breakin' up
Make me a necklace of carnelian Buy me some ribbons for my hair I will change like a chameleon If you show me that you care
Take a deep breath of this virtue Remember who your princess is Your smile will be the guardian Of all my weaknesses
Chorus: Will you be the keeper of my heart Will you be what time has not forgot When I have fallen from your grace Will you be what time cannot erase Will you be the keeper baby Will you hide the darkness deep Will you be the keeper of my heart
Verse II: I rest my gaze upon this ocean Buried deep inside your eyes I'm a slave to my emotions The innocence that lies
And when the winds of change have broken baby Every battle, every bough Will your anger be unspoken On the twilight of this vow
Chorus: Will you be the keeper of my heart Will you be what time has not forgot When I have fallen from your grace Will you be what time cannot erase Will you be the keeper baby Will you hide the darkness deep Will you be the keeper of my heart
Solo
Chorus: Will you be the keeper of my heart Will you be what time has not forgot When I have fallen from your grace Will you be what time cannot erase Will you be the keeper baby Will you hide the darkness deep Will you be the keeper of my heart
Will you be the keeper baby Will you hide the darkness deep Will you be in my heart
Lightning in a bottle Fish in the stream You in all your glory's What I need
You got a gambler's grin In the glow of the match Hard as steel And as soft as ash
Oh no...Tell me are you really like a sparrow in a hurrican
It's like lightning in a bottle Fish on the line Tell me a story Read my mind
I don't want Waste my time Tell me will it be your world Or will it be mine, mine, mine
Oh no...Tell me are you ready like a sparrow in a hurrican Whoa no...Are you prepared for a walk in the naked rain
Chorus: I would crawl, you know, you know I'd swim I'd climb a mountain baby, I'd dive right in Do the monkey, do the fly Take a chance on comin' back for another life One more time
Verse III: It's like lightning in a bottle Fish in a stream You in all your glory's What I need
Dogs are in the field Moon floats on the lake This is all too good To be a big mistake
Chorus: Solo: Oh no...Tell me are you ready like a sparrow in a hurrican Whoa no...Are you prepared for a walk in the naked rain
Chorus: I would crawl, you know I'd swim I'd climb a mountain baby, I'd dive right in Do the monkey, do the fly Take a chance on comin' back for another life
Captured by a renaissance dream Tongue tied and twisted in the deep Haunted by a renegade parading in my sleep Stalked like a criminal in the open keep
I ain't never been arrested for walking in my sleep J-Walkin' in the heavens baby, pay the fine for what you reap What you reap
Chorus: It's alright baby, it's okay honey It ain't nothing, nothing but a simple man's dream It's alright baby, it's alright honey Fashion your religion to a simple man's dream
Verse II: Sweet taste of victory in a Hitler's stance Crime pays if it's with the Devil you dance Grim Reaper, Soul raper, Heartbreaker, My friend This is an enemy invasion, Thank God I'm alive to see the end...
Chorus: It's alright baby, it's okay honey It ain't nothing, nothing but a simple man's dream It's alright baby, it's alright honey Fashion your religion to a simple man's dream
Tag: Simple man's dream A flyin' machine A primal scream Ain't nothing but a simple man's dream
I catch a chill when I look into your eyes Something too familiar, I seem to recognize Like lookin' in the mirror baby and I'm scared of what I see Lookin' at you baby, is the dark side of me
Comin' from the same place, two of a kind Brought up on the wrong side of a one track mind Whenever we're together baby, We're as bad as we can be Lookin' at you baby, is the dark side of me
Bridge: There's two sides to every story For every shame there's a glory And I've tried to keep a balance Between the dark and the light But something don't add up When I'm with you, how can two wrongs feel so right Feel so right
Verse III: Well it's a one way conversation between you and I You ask all the right questions and need no reply On all the wrong answers baby, we always tend to agree Lookin' at you baby, is the dark side of me
I wore out my welcome as the days grew thin In this Belfast town It's like I've been waitin' 'til my life begins And love comes around
I wander through the streets and I see them look away The wind hits my bones as they whisper your name I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
Verse II: Fed up with the landlord comin' down my door With his poison gaze I've stared out his window and I've walked the floor Of this sorry place
I'll take comfort in the cold until I find my faith again Oh God know I've tried but I just can't fit in I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
Bridge: What I'd give to see the sun on your face To lose myself, in a long embrace How I'd love to hear the band start to play As you turn me around, Oh I long for the day
Solo:
Verse III: The last of the ramblin' boys has lost his way In these broken times They sold off your story and they stole your rage With this heart of mine
They pulled you from your sleep and they covered up your name Now on Sundays they pray to see you again I go out walking in the cold Irish rain
I go out walking in the cold Irish rain I go out walking in the cold Irish rain...
Life leads the thoughtful woman On a path of many findings Finding her own companion From a cast of many thousands
Well for you my love, my melancholy love Whoa...You pour like rain, pour like rain, Ooooh
Verse II: Winged thoughts echo freely In words as strong as diamonds I may not be your lover But I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Can't you take a walk with me Down into the sea, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Chorus: Mother Nature, c'mon Mother Nature Taste as sweet as wine, sweet as wine Like Tahitian orchids baby Mother Nature's fine, Ha!
Woooh, yeah, yeah, yeah Mother Nature tastes so fine
When two people love each other Ain't no stoppin' Mother nature 'Cause she tastes so fine Like Mama's wine Oh, Mother Nature baby C'mon Tahitian orchids sweetly Makin' love so fine Mother Nature, Mother Nature Mother Nature tastes so fine
Ow, for you my love, my melancholy love Whoa...Pours like Mother Nature, yeah, yeah Aw c'mon Mother Nature baby
Oh baby, tastes so fine I'm gonna drink up all my wine Ooooh baby Mother Nature tastes so fine...Yeah
Whoa for you my love, my melancholy love Whoa...pours like Mother nature, yeah, yeah Makin' love so fine Like Mama's wine
Sweet breeze, blowin' through a summer dress Seen from a window above Captured in the eyes of love
Shivers, in the cool forbidden dawn Where the Iris and Jasmin run wild She was young and he was a child
He vanished like July Some folks, they wondered why But old money has its friends Ain't it funny how the truth will bend
Chorus: It's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret of her mystery...
Verse II: Whispers, how they sound like raindrops Hush now we'll make it alright She's framed by the front porch light Uuuhuh, suspicion, raising up like dragonflies They say there's a story to tell Buried in the family well
Now the congregation prays Save us from our evil ways But old money has its friends Ain't it funny how the truth will bend
Chorus: It's the family secret, it's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret, just let it be I know the secret of her mystery...
Solo: It's the family secret, it's the family secret It's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret, just let it be I know the secret to her mystery
Keep it in the family now, behind closed doors Past the rows of cypress trees, through the Spanish moss Those old stone walls It's the family secret, it's the family secret
Standing in the red light of a Bourbon Street French Quarter Where I met a Spanish Porter who obliged me with his grin He asked me for my time, I said I'd take a glass of wine And in my altered state of mind I opened up, he jumped right in
Oh, some things never turn out right Oh, some things never turn out right
Chorus: Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie
Verse II: He kissed me in the lobby on the way to Pat O'Briens No, it didn't take much science to discover what was next W'suddenly a woman with a shrunken-headed necklace She made me feel so reckless, sexless in my innocence
Oh some things never turn out right
Verse III: She led me to the levy, I was helpless as a lamb "Don't you know who I am," she said, "Your Nemesis is free" I was wired like a weapon, I was dancin' like the Dirvish When I woke up feverishly looking down at me
Chorus: Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie 4X
Breakdown: From the coveted Ark, To Noah in Asia Sodom and Gomorrah, the light and the dark Chased by the demon to the caves of the Burren Imprisoned by the truth in the tales of the Turrin From original sin to original blame, for shame, for shame
