If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer for my mother Say a prayer for my father Say a prayer for my brother But most of all please say a prayer for me
Words of a feather All flock together Going round and round A soul is astral travelling Watching human motion Wasting thy seed upon the ground Discreet intermissions Coroners petitions Their work goes into the sand Voices from the middle Are gaining very little It's getting all out of hand
If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer -volace menteh- Say a prayer for food and plenty Say a prayer -sehr sensible- But most of all please say a prayer for me If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer for my camel As I ride through the desert Say a prayer for the rumours The rumours of war
The last moody summer Was autumn in covers Bespeaks of dogs in the dark A perfect reunion Of bloody communion Where do we find Noah's ark? A thousand words or more Seep through the floor And then take root in the soil Growing trees of doubt Helpless people shout Until their blood starts to boil
If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer for Asmodeus Say a prayer for Belial Say a prayer for his denial But most of all you gotta say a prayer for me If you all get to Heaven Say a prayer for St. Religion Say a prayer for blood baptism Say a prayer for it's division But most of all please say a prayer for me
Old men's cigars puff up the wars To protect their fuck-ups again Young men must die! To keep the old ones alive And to prove they're studs once again
Spoken: Sweetheart listen, I know the last few pages Haven't been good for the both of us And I've caused you a lot of grief But put those bags down, o.k.? Before you make a decision like that, Please just listen to me 'Cos I don't want you to leave. I definately don't want you to leave Just hear me out.
Honey, don't leave me now With my head on my shoulders wrong Have I done something wrong for you to leave? I know I've been careless, girl And I must apologize I'll try better next time, baby If you let me stay
If you let me stay I'll say what I should've said If you let me stay I should have said that I love you It you let me stay And I should have said it from my heart If you let me stay
How can I compensate For my indiscretions, dear Tell me it's not too late That I'd love to hear If you walk out on me You will see a grown man cry I didn't miss my water Till my well ran dry
But if you let me stay If you let me stay I'll say what I should've said If you let me stay I should have said that I love you It you let me stay And I should have said it from my heart If you let me stay
Your pretensions aim for gullible fools And now who needs you anyway? I'll get mine elsewhere I taught the school You will regret it someday
If you let me stay I'll say what I should've said If you let me stay I should have said that I love you It you let me stay And I should have said it from my heart If you let me stay
Kissing like a bandit Stealing time Underneath a sycamore tree Cupid by the hour sends Valentines To my sweet lover and me Slowly But surely Your appetite is more than I knew Sweetly Softly I'm falling in love with you
Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of butterfly tears Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of crocodile cheers
Hugging like a monkey see Monkey do Right beside a riverboat gambler Erotic images float through my head So I wanna be Your midnight rambler Quickly Quickly The blood races through my veins Quickly Loudly I wanna hear those sugar bells ring
Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of butterfly tears Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of crocodile cheers
This isn't living now A thing my father said to me And get a haircut, boy If you want a chance in respectable society Why did you stop writing? I knew you had some trouble, son But you should know by now That my number doesn't change Because my dirty deed is done
All I need from you And that's all Regardless of whatever you do And that is that you understand That I'll never turn my back on you
How are your wife and child? I'm sure your little girl has grown And give them a kiss and a smile That's what my daddy said In a letter very long What kind of man would I be? If I left you in despair (and then he wrote) And I miss your mother, son Cause if she were still alive She'd tell you too You should cut your hair
All I need from you And that's all Regardless of whatever you do And that is that you realise That I'll never turn my back on you
Whatever you do just try to get through to me Remember the time we got drunk on wine by the sea And I laughed when you tried to stagger home by yourself You were stubborn then and you are still stubborn now
All I need from you And that's all Regardless of whatever you do And that is that you understand That I'll never turn my back on you

Teardrops rusting on a steel bar Harmonica blues Heartblood thick enough for pine tar I've got a hole in my delta shoes Grown men wither and they dry away Their lives compromised I've gotta hold on Struggle through another day To see the fire in my baby's eyes Society's debt have been more than paid
In seven more days I'll be home to you And the walls will tumble down That's separating us two The Jericho mile and a river so wide In seven more days There will be no more divide
Bad dreams, cornerstone realities Bears witness to shame Hell's gate - a landscaped brutality All material gain But she's home praying on her hands & knees That safe shall I part But I am guilty of her memory But there's no crime in my heart Society's debts have been more than paid
In seven more days I'll be home to you And the walls will tumble down That's separating us two The Jericho mile and a river so wide In seven more days There will be no more divide
Lawful society Says this is what you get Tearful sobriety of Matters that you soon regret It all adds up to time Debts have been more than paid
In seven more days I'll be home to you And the walls will tumble down That's separating us two The Jericho mile and a river so wide In seven more days There will be no more divide
Let's go forward with our love I don't ask for your money I don't ask for your honey All I want is love Let's go forward with our love I don't ask for your wallet Let's finish what we started All I need is love
And in your private moments When all the world is sleep I watch you as you toss and turn And pray my soul you'll keep I sense you are afraid That I'm not holding fast But you are just nervous And I'm certain that this too will pass
Let's go forward with our love I don't ask for your money I don't ask for your honey All I want is love
Our dedication wanders You're hurt from what you hear But then the rain falls down And wipes away your tears The stars are everlasting But even they shift from time to time If we just slow down Catch our breath We'll be fine
Let's go forward with our love I don't ask for your wallet Let's finish what we started All I need is love
Silver turns to black And gold turns into green Giving my love back Would tear away our seed Like real silver and gold We can keep our vows Your hand I will hold Until the killing ground Let's go forward with our love
Take off your topcoats Put on your raincoats And now give up your birthright And don't you cry 'Cause in 23 verses now A storm is a-comin' And you'll be too surprised To wonder why
And it will Rain rain Go away, go away Rain rain Come back again another day
Step out your cool suit Snap on you wet boots And now eat all you mushrooms Until you see That in 22 verses now A storm is a-brewin' And you'll be too annoyed For victory
'Cause it will Rain rain Go away, go away Rain rain Come back again another day
China glass & A chocolate bar I'm leaving behind So my children's children Children's children Will see what's left of me
Cue up the James Brown And jack up the funky sound now Say it won't be the last time You hear a scream 'Cause in 21 verses now A storm is a-ragin' And you will satisfy your destiny
And it will Rain rain Go away, go away Rain rain Come back again another day

Out by a shanty where the dust hangs high Far from a river where things grow green The flowers weep and they lean away From the blood stained soil beneath my feet
The thorns outnumber the petals on the rose And the darkness amplifies the sound of printers' ink On propaganda page That will rule your life and fuel my rage
I tried to bend my knees But my knees were already bent I haven't stood like a man for such a long time now I called to my god but he was sleeping on that day I guess I'll just have to depend on me
Shall I tell my children if they ask of me Did I surrender forth my right to be? Y'see my daddy died to leave this haunting ground And this same ground still haunts me
The cool September blows the seeds away The harvest blown again this year But I'll return a stronger man I'll return to me my homeland No grave shall hold my body down This land is still my home
I said: But I'll return a stronger man I'll return to me my homeland No grave shall hold my body down This land is still my home This land is still my home
When I had you I treated you bad And wrong my dear And girl since, Since you been away Dontcha know I sit around with my head hangin' down And I wonder Who's lovin you
I, I, I, I should have never ever Ever made you cry And girl since Since you been gone Dontcha know I sit around with my head hangin' down And I wonder Who's lovin you
Life without love Is oh so lonely I dont think I dont think I'm gonna make it All my life All my life, yeah belongs to you only Come on and take it girl Come on and take it!
Because, All I can do All I can do Since you been gone is cry And you, oooh
Dontcha know I Sit around With my head hangin down And I wonder Who's lovin' you (Who's lovin you) Who's lovin you.....
The knife's edge pierces Autumn And stabs the wind we fear But we must find ourselves Before we disappear By knowing when to move on We keep the peace with our pride We seldom live our moments Before the leaves have dried
But it's a peaceful feeling when We surrender And there is healing power in Letting go
Alone, confused, and naked Is when we are most sacred Fear is the enemy That strikes out at our sanity By keeping faith in our promise We drink from Eros fountains We confirm that we are here Moving up on higher mountains...
And it's a peaceful feeling when... We surrender And there is healing power in... Letting go
And it's a peaceful feeling when... We surrender There is healing power in... Letting go
Letting go Hush, hush I hear music Falling down like rain Hush, I feel mercy And forgiveness
I see Golden Light... Shining ever-bright Into the light I'll go...
And it's a peaceful feeling when We surrender And there is healing power in Letting go
And it's a peaceful feeling when We surrender There is healing power in... In letting go
