Late afternoon, dreaming hotel
We just had the quarrel that sent you away. I was looking for you, are you gone gone Called you on the phone, another dimension. Well, you never returned, oh you know what I mean. I went looking for you, are you gone, gone ? Down by the ocean it was so dismal, Women all standing with a shock on their faces. Sad description, oh I was looking for you. Everyone was singing, girl is washed up On Redondo Beach and everyone is so sad. I was looking for you, are you gone gone ? Pretty little girl, everyone cried. She was the victim of sweet suicide. I went looking for you, are you gone gone ? Down by the ocean it was so dismal, Women all standing with shock on their faces. Sad description, oh I was looking for you. Desk clerk told me girl was washed up, Was small, an angel with apple blonde hair, now. I went looking for you, are you gone gone ? Picked up my key, didn't reply. Went to my room, started to cry. You were small, an angel, are U gone gone Down by the ocean it was so dismal. I was just standing with shock on my face. The hearse pulled away, and the girl that had died, it was you. You'll never return into my arms 'cause you were gone gone. Never return into my arms 'cause you were gone gone. Gone gone, gone gone, good-bye. |

His father died and left him a little farm in New England. All the long black funeral cars left the scene And the boy was just standing there alone Looking at the shiny red tractor Him and his daddy used to sit inside And circle the blue fields and grease the night. It was if someone had spread butter on all the fine points of the stars 'Cause when he looked up they started to slip. Then he put his head in the crux of his arm And he started to drift, drift to the belly of a ship, Let the ship slide open, and he went inside of it And saw his daddy 'hind the control board streamin' beads of light, He saw his daddy 'hind the control board, And he was very different tonight 'Cause he was not human, he was not human. And then the little boy's face lit up with such naked joy That the sun burned around his lids and his eyes were like two suns, White lids, white opals, seeing everything just a little bit too clearly And he looked around and there was no black ship in sight, No black funeral cars, nothing except for him the raven And fell on his knees and looked up and cried out, "No, daddy, don't leave me here alone, Take me up, daddy, to the belly of your ship, Let the ship slide open and I'll go inside of it Where you're not human, you are not human." But nobody heard the boy's cry of alarm. Nobody there 'cept for the birds around the New England farm And they gathered in all directions, like roses they scattered And they were like compass grass coming together into the head of a shaman bouquet Slit in his nose and all the others went shooting And he saw the lights of traffic beckoning like the hands of Blake Grabbing at his cheeks, taking out his neck, All his limbs, everything was twisted and he said, "I won't give up, won't give up, don't let me give up, I won't give up, come here, let me go up fast, Take me up quick, take me up, up to the belly of a ship And the ship slides open and I go inside of it where I am not human." I am helium raven and this movie is mine, So he cried out as he stretched the sky, Pushing it all out like latex cartoon, am I all alone in this generation ? We'll just be dreaming of animation night and day And won't let up, won't let up and I see them coming in, Oh, I couldn't hear them before, but I hear 'em now, It's a radar scope in all silver and all platinum lights Moving in like black ships, they were moving in, streams of them, And he put up his hands and he said, "It's me, it's me, I'll give you my eyes, take me up, oh now please take me up, I'm helium raven waitin' for you, please take me up, Don't let me here," the son, the sign, the cross, Like the shape of a tortured woman, the true shape of a tortured woman, The mother standing in the doorway letting her sons No longer presidents but prophets They're all dreaming they're gonna bear the prophet, He's gonna run through the fields dreaming in animation It's all gonna split his skull It's gonna come out like a black bouquet shining Like a fist that's gonna shoot them up Like light, like Mohammed Boxer Take them up up up up up up Oh, let's go up, up, take me up, I'll go up, I'm going up, I'm going up Take me up, I'm going up, I'll go up there Go up go up go up go up up up up up up up Up, up to the belly of a ship. Let the ship slide open and we'll go inside of it Where we are not human, we're not human. Well, there was sand, there were tiles, The sun had melted the sand and it coagulated Like a river of glass When it hardened he looked at the surface He saw his face And where there were eyes were just two white opals, two white opals, Where there were eyes there were just two white opals And he looked up and the rays shot And he saw raven comin' in And he crawled on his back and he went up Up up up up up up Sha da do wop, da shaman do way, sha da do wop, da shaman do way, Sha da do wop, da shaman do way, sha da do wop, da shaman do way, Sha da do wop, da shaman do way, We like birdland |

Every night before I go to sleep
Find a ticket, win a lottery, Scoop the pearls up from the sea Cash them in and buy you all the things you need. Every night before I rest my head See those dollar bills go swirling 'round my bed. I know they're stolen, but I don't feel bad. I take that money, buy you things you never had. Oh, baby, it would mean so much to me, Oh, baby, to buy you all the things you need for free. I'll buy you a jet plane, baby, Get you on a higher plane to a jet stream And take you through the stratosphere And check out the planets there and then take you down Deep where it's hot, hot in Arabia, babia, then cool, cold fields of snow And we'll roll, dream, roll, dream, roll, roll, dream, dream. When we dream it, when we dream it, when we dream it, We'll dream it, dream it for free, free money, Free money, free money, free money, free money, free money, free money. Every night before I go to sleep Find a ticket, win a lottery. Every night before I rest my head See those dollar bills go swirling 'round my bed. Oh, baby, it would mean so much to me, Baby, I know our troubles will be gone. Oh, I know our troubles will be gone, goin' gone If we dream, dream, dream for free. And when we dream it, when we dream it, when we dream it, Let's dream it, we'll dream it for free, free money, Free money, free money, free money, |

The wall is high, the black barn, The babe in my arms in her swaddling clothes And I know soon that the sky will split And the planets will shift, Balls of jade will drop and existence will stop. Little sister, the sky is falling, I don't mind, I don't mind. Little sister, the fates are calling on you. Ah, here I stand again in this old 'lectric whirlwind, The sea rushes up my knees like flame And I feel like just some misplaced Joan Of Arc And the cause is you lookin' up at me. Oh baby, I remember when you were born, It was dawn and the storm settled in my belly And I rolled in the grass and I spit out the gas And I lit a match and the void went flash And the sky split and the planets hit, Balls of jade dropped and existence stopped, stopped, stop, stop. Little sister, the sky is falling, I don't mind, I don't mind. Little sister, the fates are calling on you. I was goin' crazy, so crazy I knew I could break through with you, So with one hand I rocked you and with one heart I reached for you. Ah, I knew your youth was for the takin', fire on a mental plane, So I ran through the fields as the bats with their baby vein faces Burst from the barn and flames in a violent violet sky, And I fell on my knees and pressed you against me. Your soul was like a network of spittle, Like glass balls movin' in like cold streams of logic, And I prayed as the lightning attacked That something will make it go crack, something will make it go crack, Something will make it go crack, something will make it go crack. The palm trees fall into the sea, It doesn't matter much to me As long as you're safe, Kimberly. And I can gaze deep Into your starry eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby, Looking deep in your eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby, Into your starry eyes, oh. Oh, in your starry eyes, baby, Looking deep in your eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby, oh. Oh, looking deep in your eyes, baby, Into your starry eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby |

Car stopped in a clearing, Ribbon of life, it was nearing. I saw the boy break out of his skin. My heart turned over and I crawled in. He cried, "Break it up, oh I don't understand, Break it up, I can't comprehend. Break it up, oh, I want to feel you. Break it up, don't talk to me that way, I'm not listening." Snow started falling, I could hear the angel calling. We rolled on the ground, he stretched out his wings. The boy flew away and he started to sing. He sang, "Break it up, oh, I don't understand. Break it up, I can't comprehend. Break it up, oh, I want to feel you. Break it up, don't look at me." The sky was raging, the boy disappeared, I fell on my knee Atmosphere broke up, the boy reappeared. I cried, "Take me please!" Ice, it was shining. I could feel my heart, it was melting. I tore off my clothes, I danced on my shoes. I ripped my skin open and then I broke through. I cried, "Break it up, oh, now I understand. Break it up, and I want to go. Break it up, oh please take me with you. Break it up, I can feel it breaking, I can feel it breaking, I can feel it breaking, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel." So break it up, oh now I'm coming with you. Break it up, now I'm gonna go. Break it up, oh, feel me, I'm coming. Break it up, break it up, break it up, Break it up, break it up, break it up, Oh, break it up, break it up, break it up Break it up, break it up, break it on up Break it up, break it on up, up, up Break it, break it, break it, break it Break it on up, break it up, Break it up, break it up, break it up |

I just don't know what to do tonight, My head is aching as I drink and breathe Memory falls like cream in my bones, moving on my own. There must be something I can dream tonight, The air is filled with the moves of you, All the fire is frozen yet still I have the will, ooh, ah. Trumpets, violins, I hear them in the distance And my skin emits a ray, but I think it's sad, it's much too bad That our friends can't be with us today |

Raise the sky.
We got to fly over the land, over the sea. Fate unwinds and if we die, souls arise. God, do not seize me please, till victory. Take arms. Take aim. Be without shame No one to bow to, to vow to, to blame. Legions of light, virtuous flight. Ignite, excite. And you will see us coming, V formation, through the sky. Film survives. Eyes cry. On the hill, hear us call through a realm of sound. Oh, oh-oh. Down and down. Down and round, oh, down and round. Round and round, oh, round and round. Rend the veil and we shall sail. The nail, the grail: That's all behind thee. In deed, in creed, the curve of our speed. And we believe that we will raise the sky. We got to fly over the land, over the sea. Fate unwinds and if we die, souls arise. God, do not seize me please, till victory. Victory. Till victory. |

We shall live again, we shall live again, We shall live again, shake out the ghost dance. Peace to your brother, give and take peace, Tayi, taya, it leaves two feet One foot extended, snake to the ground, Wave up the Earth, one turn around. We shall live again, we shall live again, We shall live again, shake out the ghost dance. Stretch out your arms now tip and swing, Rude up thy bird, tayi, tayi. Threw out your shoe over the soil, Dust off the words that shaped from the tale. We shall live again, we shall live again, We shall live again, shake out the ghost dance.

I haven't fucked much with the past,
but I've fucked plenty with the future. Over the skin of silk are scars from the splinters of stations and walls I've caressed. A stage is like each bolt of wood, like a log of Helen, is my pleasure. I would measure the success of a night by the way by the way by the amount of piss and seed I could exude over the columns that nestled the P.A. Some nights I'd surprise everybody by skipping off with a skirt of green net sewed over with flat metallic circles which dazzled and flashed. The lights were violet and white. I had an ornamental veil, but I couldn't bear to use it. When my hair was cropped, I craved covering, but now my hair itself is a veil, and the scalp inside is a scalp of a crazy and sleepy Comanche lies beneath this netting of the skin. I wake up. I am lying peacefully I am lying peacefully and my knees are open to the sun. I desire him, and he is absolutely ready to seize me. In heart I am a Moslem; in heart I am an American; in heart I am Moslem, in heart I'm an American artist, and I have no guilt. I seek pleasure. I seek the nerves under your skin. The narrow archway; the layers; the scroll of ancient lettuce. We worship the flaw, the belly, the belly, the mole on the belly of an exquisite whore. He spared the child and spoiled the rod. I have not sold myself to God. |

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me. Hey, Lord, I'm waitin' for you. Oh, God, I'm waitin' for you; Waitin' to open Your ninety-eight wounds And be Thee, be Thee. Lead me, oh, lead me. Leave me something. Leave me something to live.

what i feel when i'm playing guitar
is completely cold and crazy, like i don't owe nobody nothing and it's just a test just to see how far i can relax into the cold wave of a note. when everything hits just right (just and right) the note of nobility can go on forever. i never tire of the solitary E and i trust my guitar and i don't care about anything. sometimes i feel like i've broken through and i'm free and i could dig into eternity into eternity riding the wave and realm of the E. sometimes it's useless. here i am struggling and filled with dread afraid that i'll never squeeze enough graphite from my damaged cranium to inspire or asphyxiate any eyes grazing like hungry cows across the stage or page. inside of me i'm crazy i'm just crazy. inside i must continue. i see her, my stiff muse, jutting around round round round like a broken speeding statue. the colonial year is dead and the greeks too are finished. the face of alexander remains not only solely due to sculpture but through the power and foresight and magnetism of alexander himself. the artist must maintain his swagger. he must he must he must be intoxicated by ritual as well as result. look at me i am laughing. i am laughing. i am lapping cocaine from the hard brown palm of the bouncer. and i trust my guitar. therefore we black out together. therefore i would run through scum. and scum is just ahead, ah we see it, but we just laugh. we're ascending through the hollow mountain. we are peeking. we are laughing. we are kneeling. we are laughing. we are radiating at last. this rebellion is just a gas our gas a gas that we pass. |

Frederick and Vitalie, savior dwells inside of thee. Oh, the path leads to the sun. Brother, sister, time has come. Isabella, all is glowing. Isabella, all is knowing. Isabella, we are dying. Isabella, we are rising. I am the spring, the holy ground, the endless seed of mystery, the thorn, the veil, the face of grace, the brazen image, the thief of sleep, the ambassador of dreams, the prince of peace. I am the sword, the wound, the stain. Scorned transfigured child of Cain. I rend, I end, I return. Again I am the salt, the bitter laugh. I am the gas in a womb of light, the evening star, the ball of sight that leads that sheds the tears of Christ dying and drying as I rise tonight. Isabella, we are rising.

There is a town in north ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind I still need a place to go, All my changes were there. Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us Helpless, helpless, helpless Baby can you hear me now? The chains are locked and tied across the door, Baby, sing with me somehow. Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us Helpless, helpless, helpless. |

We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away We were talking about the love we all could share When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew Try to realise it's all within yourself No one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small And life flows on within you and without you We were talking about the love that's gone so cold And the people who gain the world and lose their soul They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them? When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find Peace of mind is waiting there And the time will come when you see we're all one And life flows on within you and without you |

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's "off with her head!" Remember what the dormouse said: "Feed your head Feed your head Feed your head" You're getting smaller |

Sixteen years
Sixteen banners united over the field Where the good shepherd grieves Desperate men, desperate women divided Spreading their wings 'neath falling leaves. Fortune calls I stepped forth from the shadows to the marketplace Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born On midsummer's eve near the tower. The cold-blooded moon The captain waits above the celebration Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid Whose ebony face is beyond communication The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid. They shaved her head She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo A messenger arrived with a black nightingale I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil. I stumbled to my feet I rode past destruction in the ditches With the stitches still mending beneath a heart-shaped tattoo Renegade priests and treacherous young witches Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you. The palace of mirrors Where dog soldiers are reflected The endless road and the wailing of chimes The empty rooms where her memory is protected Where the angel's voices whisper to the souls of previous times. She wakes him up Forty-eight hours later the sun is breaking Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks. Gentlemen, he said I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes I've moved your mountains and marked your cards But Eden is burning either brace yourself for elimination Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards. Peace will come With tranquillity and splendor on the wheels of fire But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating Between the King and the Queen of Swords. |

It was a slow day
And the sun was beating On the soldiers by the side of the road There was a bright light A shattering of shop windows The bomb in the baby carriage was wired to the radio These are the days of miracle and wonder This is the long distance call The way the camera follows us in slo-mo The way we look to us all, oh yeah The way we look to a distant constellation Dying in a corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry It was a dry wind And it swept across the desert And it curled into the circle of birth In the dead sand Falling on the children The mothers and the fathers and the automatic earth These are the days of miracle and wonder This is the long distance call The way the camera follows us in slo-mo The way we look to us all, oh yeah The way we look to a distant constellation That's dying in a corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry It's a turn-around jump shot It's everybody jump start It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts Medicine is magical and magical is art The boy in the bubble And the baby with the baboon heart And I believe These are the days of lasers in the jungle Lasers in the jungle somewhere Staccato signals of constant information A loose affiliation of millionaires And billionaires These are the days of miracle and wonder This is the long distance call The way the camera follows us in slo-mo The way we look to us all, oh yeah The way we look to a distant constellation That's dying in a corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry Oh, don't cry Don't cry, don't cry Don't cry, oh |

Well, the clock says it's time to close now I guess I'd better go now I'd really like to stay here all night The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes Street lights share their hollow glow Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise Still one place to go Still one place to go Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen Warm my mind near your gentle stove Turn me out and I'll wander baby Stumblin' in the neon groves Well, your fingers weave quick minarets Speak in secret alphabets I light another cigarette Learn to forget, learn to forget Learn to forget, learn to forget Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen Warm my mind near your gentle stove Turn me out and I'll wander baby Stumblin' in the neon groves Well the clock says it's time to close now I know I have to go now I really want to stay here All night, all night, all night |

Hello friend, I've come a callin'
Passively stationed, active patrol Slidin' in at high noon like some reluctant sheriff Not wanna get involved in it all Who stands guard for each other? Why must we guard anything at all? Anything at all From the earth's four corners the people are calling Forming equations but the questions are hard All men are brothers, killing each other And Mother Earth is wringing in wonder Who stands guard for each other? Oh, why must we guard anything at all? Anything at all Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away There's a cross on the road, there's a great mill turnin' Some seeking answers, some born to dancers You can hold on the blade and turn around forever Be flung into space into another kind of grace Who stands guard for each other? Oh, why must we guard anything at all? Anything at all Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away Give [Incomprehensible] Some giveth their hand Some giveth their land Some giveth their life You lay in the fields of grain, the staff of life all around you But yet you, you will cut someone down For their possessions, some material thing And our children they're being blown away like wishes in the wind For the sake of their coat Or the colors of their coat Or the color of their skin Or the name on their shoes And the mother cries "Why they taken my son?" And the father wonders "Are they taking my boy?" He extended his hand He gave them his land He gave them his bread He gave them his heart Said, "Hello friend" Hello friend Hello friend Hello friend |

Listen to my story. Got two tales to tell.
One of fallen glory. One of vanity. The world's roof was raging, but we were looking fine; 'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings, in Nineteen-Fifty-Nine. Wisdom was a teapot; Pouring from above. Desolation angels Served it up with Love. Ignitin'[g strife] like every form of light, then moved by bold design, slid in that thing and it grew wings, in Nineteen-Fifty-Nine. **************** It was Blood, shining in the Sun; First: Freedom! Speeding the american claim: Freedom; Freedom; Freedom; Freedom! ****************** China was the tempest; [And] Madness overflowed. [The] Lama was a young man, and [he] watched his world in flames. Taking Glory down by the edge of clouds; It was a cryin'[g] shame. Another lost horizon. Tibet the fallen star. Wisdom and compassion Crushed, in the land of Shangri-La. But in the land of the Impala, honey, well, we were lookin' Fine, 'cause we built that thing and it grew wings; In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine. 'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings; In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine. It was the best of times, it's [was] the worst of times; In 1959; 1959; 1959; 1959; 1959; 1959; 1959. It was the best of times; It was the worst of times. [In] Nineteen-Fifty-Nine. |

Lower the thing the skin of a cat
Skin it to the left just laying there No other thing is luck like that And you set it said it said nothing Went to the party very discouraged I watched the litter pile like a wall I looked at the river just couldn't forgive it It was ladened with all kinds of shit Still I admit that I didn't say nothing I turned my back walked away Got to face the fact that I didn't say nothing Everyone was dancing I stood over in the corner I was listening they were saying this and saying that And putting this one down but nothing was delivered Nothing good was coming I just stood there I couldn't believe it but I didn't say nothing I walked the floor then I looked away Got to face the fact that I didn't say nothing How long how long will we make do Maybe it's time to break on through Gonna lift my skirts gonna straighten up Gonna get well I'm gonna do something Gonna face the fact gonna give it back And I'm gonna do something won't hold my tongue Won't hold the thought won't hold the card Well I'm gonna do something Oh my brain I got to complain You can refrain but I'm gonna do something How long how long will we make do Maybe it's time to break on through Out in the desert I saw that old cat skinned I saw it floating in the river I saw and no one seemed to mind They sat there they sat there watching the sun I saw it float away and I watched the buildings crumble Like dust in the hand and we watched the sun Spread its wings and fly away And in the mountains a cry echoes Don't say nothing Don't say nothing no Don't say nothing no |

In light rapidly changing On a life rapidly fading Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? With a throat smooth as a lamb Yet dry as a branch not snapping He throws back his head And he does not sing a thing mournful Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? In the straw colored light He sings a black embrace And white opals swimming In a child's leather purse Have you seen death swimming? Have you seen death swimming? With a throat smooth as a lamb Yet dry as a branch not snapping He throws back his head And he does not sing a thing mournful Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? In the straw colored light Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? In the straw colored light He sings of youth enraged And the burning of Atlanta And these viral times And may ribbons streaming And the straw colored curls are turning A mother's vain delight And woe to the sun And woe to the dawn And woe to the young Another hearse is drawn Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? Have you seen death singin'? In the straw colored light |

Like the blades of a 'copter Liftin' into the skies above some foreign land Soaked with the bodies of so many friends. Johnny waved He was on his way home He waved goodbye to his comrades in arms, And all the twisted things he'd seen. He waved goodbye And the blades hit Something Maybe just fate, but the blades hit The 'copter went up in flames And johnny never went marchin' home Johnny never went marchin' home They took his name And they carved it on a slab of marble With several thousand other names All the fallen idols The apples of their mother's eye Just another name Meanwhile Back on that burning shore Johnny's comrades stood speechless They looked with uh-uh-uh-uh disbelieving eyes As those bits of metal and the embers The embers of his eyes Fanned out into the air Black dust Flames Oh johnny! some day they'll make a movie about you And in the making of that movie Some mad apocalypse It will become even stranger than the simple act Just a boy going up up up Just a boy going up In flames in the smoke Just another life Just another breath And who'll remember Oh eternity now As eternal as a sheet of marble Eternal as a slab on a green hill And your name And all your fallen brothers And all the ones not cut All the ones remembered only in the hearts A mother a father a brother a sister a lover a son a daughter Shall not shall not fade shall not fade Your ancestors salute you And the gods of your ancestors salute you Having having been formed by the minds of your ancestors The gods of your ancestors salute you Having been formed by your ancestors The gods of your ancestors salute you They draw you in they draw you through They draw they draw you through that golden door Mornin' boy [come on in boy] We remember you We conceived of you We conceived of your breath We conceived of the whole human race And we conceived it to be a beautiful thing Like a tulip bending in the wind Sometimes it comes back to us In the form of a handful of dust Comes back in the form of a smitten child Our raped daughters, ah the broken bones Souls cleaved from hearts They come back to us And our hands are filled with their rotting tissues But we turn not our backs We press our lips Into their cancer into the dust into the remains of each one And that love is there and will greet you, will greet you Mornin' boy [come on in boy] It's eternal love Well here, go ahead, run through that flame Awww man, running through your mind You took a cat, you took a life, you took it by the tail And you swirled it around your head And you thrashed it, you smashed the life out of it And you knew that it would be your own But you wanted to feel, you wanted to feel it die Because you know you would feel your own You would feel your own But you're remembered!

Some call it the spirit, some call it the sun Its energies are not for hire It serves man, it serves everyone Down there where Jonah wails In the healin' water, in the ready depths Twistin' like silver swans No line of death, no boundaries Up there the eye is hollow The eye is winkin', the winds ablaze Angels howlin', the Sphinx awakens But what can she say, you'd be amazed Down there your, days are numbers You're no numbers, nothin' to fear There will be trumpets, there will be silence In the end it'll here just here Ahh, the borders of heaven are zipped up tight tonight The abstract streets, the lights like some switched on Mondrian Cats like us are obsolete, hey man, don't breathe on my feet Thieves, poets we're inside out and everybody's a soldier Angels howl at those abstract lights And the borders of heaven are zipped up tight tonight Up there there's a ball of fire Some call it the spirit, some call it the sun Its energies are not for hire It serves man, it serves everyone The air we breathe, the flame of wisdom The earth we grind, the beckonin' sea No mystery, not sentimental Ahh, the equation, it's all elemental The world is restless, Heaven in flux ,angels appear From the bright storm out of the shadows Up there, down there but what can we say Man's been forewarned All communion is not holy, even those that fall Well, they can prophet understandin' It's all for man, it's for everyone It's up there, down there, everywhere, everywhere Time for communion, time for communion Oh, and it's up there, out there, in there Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, everywhere |

In a room in Lebanon
They silently slept They were dreamin' crazy dreams In foreign alphabet Lucky young boys Cross on the main The driver was approachin' The American zone The wavin' of hands The tiniest train They never dreamed They'd never wake again Voice of the Swarm We follow we fall Kneel for priests Some wail at walls Flag on a match head God or the law And they'll all go together Where duty calls United children Child of Iran Parallel prayers Baseball Koran I'll protect Mama I'll lie awake I'll die for Allah In a holy war I'll be a ranger I'll guard the streams I'll be a soldier A sleepin' marine Voice of the Swarm We follow we fall Kneel for priests Some wail at walls Flag on a match head God or the law And they'll all go together Where duty calls In the heart of the ancient Ali smiles In the soul of the desert The sun blooms Awake Into the glare of all out little wars Who pray to return to salute The coming and dying of the moon Oh sleeping sun Assassin in prayer Laid a compass deep Exploding dawn And himself as well Their eyes for his eyes Their breath for his breath All to his end And a room in Lebanon Dust of scenes Erase and blend May the blanket of kings Cover them and him Voice of the Swarm We follow we fall Kneel for priests Some wail at walls Flag on a match head God or the law And they'll all go together Where duty calls Forgive them Father They know not what they do From the vast portals Of their consciousness They're calling to you Room in Lebanon There's room in Lebanon |

Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing again Let's go under where the sun beams Let's go under my friend Are we sleeping, are we dreaming Are we dancing again Is it heaven, crack it open And we'll slide down its stream We can hold on, I'm sure To the sea's foaming mane It will serve us, we'll surface And we'll plunge back again Sun is rising on the water Light is dancing like a flame There's no burning where the sun beams Oh, it's such a lovely game Does the sea dream, I'm sure We are here, we attend We are bells on the shore As the tolling suspends Who will decide the shape of things The shift of being, who will perceive when life is new Shall we divide and become another Who is due for gift upon gift Who will decide Shall we swim over and over The curve of a wing It's destination ever changing Sun is rising on the water Light is dancing like a flame Let's go waltzing on the water Let's go under again Let's go under Going under Going under |

In the medieval night
'twas love's design And the sky was open Like a valentine All the lacy lights Where wishes fall And like shakespeare's child I wished on them all Ahh to be your destiny Was all that I pursued I could see the sights From the lofty heights But my heart obscured the view I was looking for you Looking for you What could I do I was looking for you Along the black river The ambassador jewels And you were reflected In all that I saw In the towers of gold In the wheel and wing Gripping my senses Like an ancient claim Many is the time I knelt in the light Appealing to all that I know Guide my eyes and steps That I may find love true Refrain Come on darlin' All that hearts desire Was written before us In the medieval fire It was love's design In the glittering stars Like shakespeare's child To be where you are From the portobello road To the port of marseilles Where the dervish turns Where the wild goats play Looking for you I was |

Little blue dreamer go to sleep
Let's close our eyes and call the deep Slumbering land that just begins When day is done and little dreamers spin First take my hand then let it go Little blue boy, you're on your own Little blue wings as those feet fly Little blue shoes that walk across the sky May your path be your own But I'm with you And each day you'll grow He'll be there too And someday, you go We'll follow you As you go, as you go Little blue star that offers light Little blue bird that offers flight Little blue path where those feet fall Little blue dreamer won't you dream it all May your path be your own But I'm with you And each day you'll grow He'll be there too And someday, you go We'll follow you As you go, as you go And in your travels you will see Warrior wings remember Daddy And if a mama bird you see Folding her wings will you remember me As you go, as you go As you go, as you go |

Another night to discover Let's slip where senses gather Let's drift between the sea and sky As the night goes by Sands shift Orchids so strange In the moonlight Brushing our faces Places where love blooms And dies While the night goes by Oh, and the spirits call Sun upon your shadows fall Tracing every breath we draw Come into my dreams Come into my dreams Darlin' let's go where the night goes Let's drift where senses gather Let's make this night last forever Into my dreams Into my dreams Darlin' let's go Where the night goes Time slips Oh darlin' how it flies When the night goes by All through the night Sirens call Come to me I'll come to you As the night softly Goes by bye Midnight Moon on our shoulder Daybreak Another one older Darlin' heavenly blue Glories fade into view Let's go Under the stars That are beating Under the moonlight Stars shoot Dusk just a whisper Make this night Last forever Oh how I wonder Where the night goes Oh let's wonder Where the night goes As the night goes By bye By bye |

Wild leaves are falling
Falling to the ground Every leaf a moment A light upon the crown That we'll all be wearing In a time unbound And wild leaves are falling Falling to the ground Every word that's spoken Every word decreed Every spell that's broken Every golden deed All the parts we're playing Binding as the reed And wild leaves are falling Wild wild leaves As the campfire's burning As the fire ignites All the moments turning In the stormy bright Well enough the churning When enough believe The coming and the going Wild wild leaves Wild wild leaves Wild wild leaves |

Oh the story's told been told retold From the sacred scriptures to the tabloids All the fuss and fight none above a whisper The soul of gold the belly of a boy Well they drew him from the forest Like they draw blood Tied him to a tree like St. Sebastian And he turned his head and let the arrows fly Through the trees, the trees The ornamental leaves Boy cried wolf Wolf don't come Wolf within Boy cried wolf In the ancient mold they're dancing down Calling to the moon but it don't answer And they fell on their knees and passed the bowl around And the blood the blood the sacramental blood Boy cried wolf Wolf don't come Wolf within Boy cried wolf I am the body I am the stream I am the wake of everything They bring me flowers that are myself Garlands of blood that are myself Slain the lamb that is himself Torn reborn the cries of our dismay Are nothing to the wind but whose to mind Kings are lifted up and kings are thrown Lost received retrieved The human tide Innocence had its day Innocence had its day Innocence innocence |

What is the system that gets around Recruits hearts with its timeless rhythm The young glow but old men know It's all a part of some crazy schism Coming on like the dawn unrelenting light Streets thick with its radiating It's all aglow but we all know True love is so complicated Feeling funny don't know why On a plane circling high Equation persuasion It's just persuasion What is the body that has nobody Go through life with nobody at all It come and go where the wind blow When persuasion come to call Got me reeling don't know why I'm on a plane circling high Equation persuasion Got the feeling I'm running in place Caught in the orbit of the human race Equation persuasion It's just persuasion It's jut persuasion It's just persuasion What is the body that has nobody What is the rise without the fall What is illusion without beauty What is the system that's no system at all Hey scout there's no equation You can't prepare for the heart's invasion You can't prepare for the heart's invasion Love is its own |

I looked upon the book of life Tracing the lines of face after face Looking down at their naked feet Bound in chains bound in chains Chains of leather chains of gold We knew it was wrong but we looked away And paraded them down the colonial streets And that's how they became enslaved They came across on the great ships Mothers separated from their babes Husbands stood on the auction block Bound in chains bound in chains Chains of leather chains of gold Men knew it was wrong but they looked away And led them to toil in fields of white As they turned their necks to a bitter landscape Oh the people I hear them calling Am I not a man and a brother Am I not a woman and a sister History sends us such strange messengers They come down through time To embrace to enrage And in their arms even stranger fruit And they swing from the trees With their vision in flames Ropes of leather ropes of gold Men knew it was wrong but they looked away Messengers swinging from twisted rope As they turned their necks to a bitter landscape Oh the people I hear them calling Am I not a man and a brother Am I not a woman and a siste r We will be heard we will be heard |

There was a wicked messenger
From Eli he did come, With a mind that multiplied The smallest matter. When asked who had sent for him, He answered with his thumb, For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter. He stayed behind the assembly hall, It was there he made his bed, And oftentimes he could be seen returning. Until one day he just appeared With a note in his hand that read, "The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning." Oh, the leaves began to fallin' And the seas began to part, And the people that confronted him were many. And he was told but these few words, Which opened up his heart, "If you cannot bring good news, then don't bring any." |

from Patti Smith - Horses (1975)
The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea
From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating Another boy was sliding up the hallway He merged perfectly with the hallway, He merged perfectly, the mirror in the hallway The boy looked at Johnny, Johnny wanted to run, but the movie kept moving as planned The boy took Johnny, he pushed him against the locker, He drove it in, he drove it home, he drove it deep in Johnny The boy disappeared, Johnny fell on his knees, started crashing his head against the locker, started crashing his head against the locker, started laughing hysterically When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by horses, horses, horses, horses coming in in all directions white shining silver studs with their nose in flames, He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, Horses, horses, horses, horses. Do you know how to pony like bony maroney Do you know how to twist, well it goes like this, it goes like this Baby mash potato, do the alligator, do the alligator And you twist the twister like your baby sister I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, Dig your baby sister Rise up on her knees, do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee pee, Roll down on her back, got to lose control, got to lose control, Got to lose control and then you take control, Then you're rolled down on your back and you like it like that, Like it like that, like it like that, like it like that, Then you do the watusi, yeah do the watusi Life is filled with holes, Johnny's laying there, his sperm coffin Angel looks down at him and says, "Oh, pretty boy, Can't you show me nothing but surrender ?" Johnny gets up, takes off his leather jacket, Taped to his chest there's the answer, You got pen knives and jack knives and Switchblades preferred, switchblades preferred Then he cries, then he screams, saying Life is full of pain, I'm cruisin' through my brain And I fill my nose with snow and go Rimbaud, Go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud, And go Johnny go, and do the watusi, oh do the watusi There's a little place, a place called space It's a pretty little place, it's across the tracks, Across the tracks and the name of the place is you like it like that, You like it like that, you like it like that, you like it like that, And the name of the band is the Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes Baby calm down, better calm down, In the night, in the eye of the forest There's a mare black and shining with yellow hair, I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair, I didn't waste time, I just walked right up and saw that up there -- there is a sea up there -- there is a sea up there -- there is a sea the sea's the possibility There is no land but the land (up there is just a sea of possibilities) There is no sea but the sea (up there is a wall of possibilities) There is no keeper but the key (up there there are several walls of possibilities) Except for one who seizes possibilities, one who seizes possibilities. (up there) I seize the first possibility, is the sea around me I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor (in a sea of possibilities) I felt his hand on my knee (on the screen) And I looked at Johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame (in the heart of man) The waves were coming in like Arabian stallions Gradually lapping into sea horses He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat (the spoon) And let it deep in (the veins) Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities It started hardening Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities It started hardening in my hand And I felt the arrows of desire I put my hand inside his cranium, oh we had such a brainiac-amour But no more, no more, I gotta move from my mind to the area (go Rimbaud go Rimbaud go Rimbaud) And go Johnny go and do the watusi, Yeah do the watusi, do the watusi ... Shined open coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling Our lives are now entwined, we will fall yes we're together twining Your nerves, your mane of the black shining horse And my fingers all entwined through the air, I could feel it, it was the hair going through my fingers, (I feel it I feel it I feel it I feel it) The hairs were like wires going through my body I I that's how I that's how I I died (at that Tower of Babel they knew what they were after) (they knew what they were after) [Everything on the current] moved up I tried to stop it, but it was too warm, too unbelievably smooth, Like playing in the sea, in the sea of possibility, the possibility Was a blade, a shiny blade, I hold the key to the sea of possibilities There's no land but the land looked at my hands, and there's a red stream that went streaming through the sands like fingers, like arteries, like fingers (how much fits between the eyes of a horse?) He lay, pressing it against his throat (your eyes) He opened his throat (your eyes) His vocal chords started shooting like (of a horse) Mad pituitary glands The scream he made (and my heart) was so high (my heart) Pitched that nobody heard, No one heard that cry, No one heard (Johnny) the butterfly flapping in his throat, (His fingers) Nobody heard, he was on that bed, it was like a sea of jelly, And so he seized the first (his vocal chords shot up) (possibility) (like mad pituitary glands) It was a black tube, he felt himself disintegrate (there is nothing happening at all) and go inside the black tube, so when he looked out into the steep saw this sweet young thing (Fender one) Humping on the parking meter, leaning on the parking meter In the sheets there was a man dancing around to the simple Rock & roll song |

from Patti Smith - Jubilee (2004)
Oh glad day to celebrate 'Neath the cloudless sky
Air so sweet Water pure Fields ripe with rye Come one, come all Gather round Discard your Sunday shoes Come on now Oh my land Be a jubilee Come on girl Come on boy Be a jubilee Oh my land Oh my good People don't be shy Weave the birth of harmony With children's happy cries Hand in hand We're dancing around In a freedom ring Come on now Oh my land Be a jubilee Come on girl Come on boy Be a jubilee We will never fade away Doves shall multiply Yet I see hawks circling the sky Scattering our glad day With debt and despair What good hour Will restore our troubled air? Come on people Gather round You know what to do Come on people Oh my land What be troubling Oh my land What be troubling What be troubling What be troubling you We are love and the future We stand in the midst of fury and weariness Who dreams of joy and radiance? Who dreams of war and sacrifice? Our sacred realms are being squeezed Curtailing civil liberties Recruit the dreams that sing to thee Let freedom ring Freedom ring Freedom ring Jubilee Oh my land Oh glad day Oh my land Hear our cry Freedom ring Oh glad day Oh my land Jubilee Jubilee |
