Here's Room 506
It's enough to make you sick Bridget's all wrapped up in foil You wonder if she can uncoil. Here they come now See them run now Here they come now Chelsea Girls Here's Room 115 Filled with S & M queens Magic marker row You wonder just high they go. Here they come now See them run now Here they come now Chelsea Girls Here's Pope dear Ondine Rona's treated him so mean She wants another scene She wants to be a human being. Here they come now See them run now Here they come now Chelsea Girls Pepper she's having fun She thinks she's some man's son Her perfect love's don't last Her future died in someone's past. Here they come now See them run now Here they come now Chelsea Girls Dear Ingrid's found her lick She's turned another trick Her treats and times revolve She's got problems to be solved Here they come now See them run now Here they come now Chelsea Girls Poor Mary, she's uptight She can't turn out her light She rolled Susan in a ball And now she can't see her at all Here they come now See them run now Here they come now Chelsea Girls Dropout, she's in a fix, Amphetamine has made her sick White powder in the air She's got no bones and can't be scared Here they come now See them run now Here they come now Chelsea Girls Here comes Johnny Bore, He collapsed on the floor They shot him up with milk And when he died sold him for silk Here they come now See them run now Here they come now Chelsea Girls Here they come now See them run now Here they come now Chelsea Girls |

It was a pleasure then
Could you just be here again To know what there was to see When all the Sunday people Were so quiet in the dark Afraid to be better the next day La la la la la la la La la la la la la la. It was a pleasure then When we could sit and stare again Until the stars fell through The cloudy trees onto the grass Stars to smile with us Until they too had tears in their eyes You tell us this one tale Of how much we must not agree. It was a pleasure then To see the dying days again In horror of the nights Never never never Never be too bright We've got no secret Heart to hide somewhere at last As long as we could see The sky confess this crime Of bitter tasting hatefulness Above our shattered minds. It was a pleasure It was a pleasure La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la. |

Don't call me home, little sister
Before the night is done My love and I are fleeing Running into the sun. Turn to fly, go away Little bird, please don't stay Fare thee well. Take up all your jewels and gold, Bury them away in the earth. Let your memory reduce them to dust But don't forget the knife that was thrust. Turn to fly, go away Little bird, please don't stay Fare thee well. Frozen kiss by the fountain Running into the sea Where shadows choose their horrors Designed for music. Turn to fly, go away, Little bird, please don't stay, Fare thee well. |

The snow on your eyelids that curtsy with age
Is freezing the stares on tyranny's wings. The bitter is hard and the warmth of your skin Is diseased with familiar caresses. Withdrawing from splendor and royal decay Among all the triumphs and jaded awards The angry and blazing circus of sun Blasphemes as the crown prince arises. You cannot beget all the sins that you owe To the people of paradise magic Pretend to answer passion and form With foreign rationalizations. Primroses are the jewels that lurk Among masks of pleasure that flicker with doubt Embraces of fame that's simultaneously fear To advance and demand to be recognized. The river shall flow through hollow green faces Of caricature's resentment etched out of the tongues. Both reluctant princess asleep before birth The classical sensitive failures. The worshipping wicked cling to the dark of your heart Lying there and wait with your angels Moan and ravish from dawn to dusk The avaricious young lovers. |

Wrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away Put them in a bottle and Across the seas they'll stay Speak not of misfortunes Speak not of your woes Just steal yourself a holiday Crouching by the door Ride and sway to music's pain Searing with the sides Caress it with a lover's touch For it shall be your bride Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Slash the golden whip, it slaps Across the lover's sides The earth trembles without remorse Preparing for to die Salty ocean waves and sprays Come crashing to the shore Bullies kick and kill young loves Down on barroom floors Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Violence echoes through the land In heart of every man The knife stabs existent wounds Pulse runs through matted hair The gleaming knife cuts early Through the midnight air Cutting entrails in its path Blood runs without care Excrement filters through the brain Hatred bends the spine Filth covers the body pores To be cleansed by dying time Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay |

Seinem Geiste bekenne ich mich
Ein Sehnen verzehret sein schones Gesicht Das ermattet von Gute beschattet allmachtig ist Sein Korper bewegt sich nicht Im Traume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergisst Den heulenden Jubel erkenne ich nicht Der mir den heiligen Frieden zerbricht Sein schweigender Mund, seine schlafende Brust Harren zartlich der sußen Lust Sein Korper bewegt sich nicht Im Traume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergisst |

Let the wind fill your heart with light and joy Sail away my little boy Let the rain wash away your cloudy days Sail away into a dream Let the wind send you a fantasy Of the ancient silver sea Now you see that only dreams Can send you where you want to be Now you find those faces Are not holding places Where you thought they'd be And later as you go again You will agree That it was all a dream Sail away, sail away my little boy Let the wind fill your heart with light and joy Sail away my little boy Keep missing |

Since the first of you and me asleep
In a Nibelungen land Titanic curses trap me in A banishment of stay Symbols vanish from my senses Stem and stave the view appears Symbols captured in a trance Vanish from my glance For the various defenses I enforce a strike the alarm For the various defences That choose to be here and there And lose the direction everywhere Since the first of you and me asleep In a Nibelungen land where we cannot be Almond trees grow along the mountain trail From their tongues the words are spelling The telling numb I cannot hear it anymore I cannot hear it anymore Since the first of you and me here and there We lose the direction everywhere Shrieking city sun shiver in my veins In flames I run In flames I run Waiting for the sign to come Will you spell the words for me Will you spell the words for me to hear Nibelungen Nibelungen Nibelungen land |

He came your way
and when he had to go there were roses growing in the snow. Silently you'll go to the shadow of your soul and you know that it was like this before: he had to go You will never see these lights glowing in your nights, until you feel this way. With every moon it is as though you're getting closer to your soul and then you go alone - and with no fear then you will know that it was like this before: he had to go And you will find that you were blind until you saw these lights - glowing in your nights. He came your way and when he had to go there were roses growing in the snow Silently you'll go to the shadow of your soul but you know it was like this before - he had to go. You will never see these lights glowing in your nights if you don't know... there are roses growing in the snow. |

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties ? A hand-me-down dress from who knows where To all tomorrow's parties. And what shall she do and where will she go When midnight comes around ? She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown And cry behind the door. And what costume shall the poor girl wear To all tomorrow's parties ? White silks and linens of yesterday's gowns To all tomorrow's parties. And what will she do with Thursday's rags When Monday comes around ? She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown And cry behind the door. And what costume shall the poor girl wear To all tomorrow's parties ? For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown For whom none will go mourning. A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown Of rags and silks ? a costume Fit for one who sits and cries For all tomorrow's parties |

I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you On your padded shoulder And your golden chest In a wilderness of glass we rest And all the flowers they are our words And my chances follow dances Into a storm afraid A sweet and bitter rest he gets A sweet and bitter rest he gets I have come to lie with you I have come to die with you |

White light lays above
The Henry Hudson riverbank And you will see a lady standing Stealing past a happy ending Staring at the happy landing Her heart beats loud and fast Her love looks like a broken glass White light lays above The riverbank A sinking ship has brought the light Upon the land And Henry Hudson knows not where The lady's standing A lonely shoulder must grow older Waiting on the riverbank |

I I wish you could swim Like the dolphins the dolphins can swim Though nothing Nothing will keep us together We can beat them Forever and ever Oh, we can be heroes Just for one day I I will be King And you You will be Queen Though nothing Will drive them away We can be heroes Just for one day We can be us Just for one day I I can remember Standing by the Wall The guns shot above our heads And we kissed As though nothing could fall And the shame was on the other side We can beat them Forever and ever We can be heroes Just for one day We can be heroes We can be heroes |

"My heart is empty
But the songs I sing Are filled with love for you" A man said that to me That's how I know Sometimes love it does not show Sometimes it does not even know There is no witness to my anger When it stabs until he dies I am looking for the strangler To help me, help me with my crime Show me the way to warning Warning for the morning light I will stab it with a knife The blinding sun The heartbeat for the time to come The honesty That lies to you My heart is empty But the songs I sing Are filled with love for you |

Give awareness and some light
To the darkness outside A roof above my head might just be right For such a tender night Give awareness and some light To the darkness outside A roof above my head might just be right For such a tender night tender night The bridge will show you how to fall More than one good person you can call Stepping on the stairway Climbing up the wall Has the man I told you about Stopped in here or called ? Stepping on the stairway Climbing up the wall Has the man I told you about Stopped in here or called ? Was it the right moment to lift his head And did he see that you are mad Seven daughters and one son And their father's on the run He is gone long past midnight From the Towers strikes the time. What will they do when morning dawns They may not be able to explain Are you ready for a good fight Are you ready for laughter It is you that we are after It is you You can give me one more chance Forget that it is me who must fight |

He reminds me all the laughter
That have left me going down And my heart is falling silently Into the driving evening sound Sometimes we must keep from bringing Certain thoughts up to the light And a matter of the winning In a case of two lips lies I have been looking out for him From over this broken bridge The safest place it seems to be To ever reach his purple lips |

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend The end of our elaborate plans The end of everything that stands The end, no safety, no surprise The end, I'll never look into your eyes again Can you picture what we'll be So limitless and free Desperately in need of some stranger's hand In a desperate land? Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain And all the children are insane All the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway, baby Weird scenes inside the gold mine Ride the highway West Ride the snake Ride the snake to the lake The ancient lake The snake is long, seven miles Ride the snake He's old and his skin is cold The West is the best The West is the best Get here and we'll do the rest The blue bus is calling us The blue bus is calling us Driver, where're you taking us? The killer awoke before dawn He put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall He went to the room where his sister lived And then he paid a visit to his brother And then he, he walked on down the hall And he came to a door and he looked inside "Father?", "Yes, son?" "I want to kill you, mother, I want to" Come on, baby, take a chance with us Come on, baby, take a chance with us Come on, baby, take a chance with us And meet me at the back of the blue bus This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend The end, it hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights, we tried to die This is the end |

You will search, babe, at any cost,
But how long, babe, can you search for what's not lost ? Everybody will help you, Some people are very kind. But if I can save you any time, Come on, give it to me, I'll keep it with mine. I can't help it if you might think I am odd If I say I'm not loving you for what you are But for what you're not. Everybody will help you, Discover what you set out to find But if I can save you any time, Come on, give it to me, I'll keep it with mine. The train leaves at half past ten But it'll be back tomorrow same time again. The conductor, he's weary, Still stuck on the line. But if I can save you any time, Come on, give it to me, I'll keep it with mine |

The charges of your sentence An answer to your key A switching argument Condemning Your damned To plea From the black screen of my eyelids Closing in on you The image showing me that It is oh so true The young man with a wild smile Like Bonaparte He's looking like a piece of Like a piece of art In a case of crime In a case of death Would you have to hold Have to hold your breath ?

Now that it's time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end Now that it's real Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe try another time And do I really have a hand in my forgetting ? Now that I've tried Now that I've finally found that this is not the way, Now that I turn Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe finally split the rhyme And do I really understand the undernetting ? Yes and the morning has me Looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs carefully. Now that it's light Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind Now that it's here Now that I'm almost not so very far behind I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe follow another sign And do I really have a song that I can ride on ? Now that I can Now that it's easy, ever easy all around. Now that I'm here Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song I want to know do I stay or do I go And do I have to do just one And can I choose again if I should lose the reason ? Yes, and the morning Has me looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs more carefully. Now that I smile, Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside. Now that I see, Now that I finally found the one thing I denied It's now I know do I stay or do I go And it is finally I decide That I'll be leaving In the fairest of the seasons. |
