Of the Greek and his Italian girl One Sunday at the shore We tied our ribbons to the fire escape They were taken by the birds Who flew home to the country As the bombs rained on the world Five AM Here I am Walking the block to Table Talk You could cry or die or just make pies all day I'm making pies Making pies I'm making pies Making pies

All you kids get out the back door I've never seen her this mad before She took all her favorite things down from the window And broke them all over her clean floor It's Saturday at the mansion The oldest boy walks with a slouch The young ones are wild in back of the house And she gave up and went back to sleep on the couch Something as simple as boys and girls Gets tossed all around and lost in the world Something as hard as a prayer on your back Can wait a long time For an answer When I was little I'd stare at her picture And talk to the mother of God I swear sometimes I'd see her lips move Like she was trying to say something to me When I was eighteen I moved to Florida Like everyone sick of the cold does And I waited on old people waiting to die I waited on them until I was Something as simple as boys and girls Gets tossed all around and lost in the world Something as hard as a prayer on your back Can wait a long time For an answer So I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor One day I won't live here anymore And someone will wonder who lived here before And went on their way I live too many miles from the ocean And I'm getting older and odd I get up every morning with my cup of coffee And I talk to the mother of God Something as simple as boys and girls Gets tossed all around and lost in the world Something as hard as a prayer on your back Can wait a long time For an answer Can wait a long time For an answer Maybe it's alright Maybe we won't fight anymore Maybe love is waiting at the end of every road I don't know I don't know But maybe Maybe it's alright

Chief had been out of the army For fifteen years or more He was still marching up and down that street Just like he was walking to war They called him Chief 'cause he was Indian It was a name they said behind his back In the summer he'd march without any shoes Till the soles of his feet turned black Till the soles of his feet turned black His hands wouldn't work the machinery Cause his brain told them what to say It's a helluva life but it's somebody's life Up and down the street all day Honey, I've been put through the paces Running like a dog on a track The wheels keep it going as fast as you get there But you don't ever get to go back I don't really know what I'm doing Just watching myself in some play And the actress looks like she wants to go home And lie in a bed all day Yeah, lie in a big bed all day Her hands wouldn't work the machinery Cause his brain tells them what to say It's a hell of a life but it's somebody's life Up and down the street all day But I wish that you could see me When I'm flying in my dreams The way I laugh there way up high The way I look when I fly The way I laugh The way I fly Chief got out of the army Jesus went to live with the poor I'm still marching up and down that street I don't know what I'm doing that for I don't know what I'm doing that for I don't know what I'm doing that for

(Written by Bruce Springsteen ) I met a little girl and I settled down In a little house out on the edge of town We got married, swore we'd never part Then little by little we drifted from each other's hearts At first I thought it was just restlessness That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep In the end it was something more, I guess Tore us apart and made us weep I'm driving a stolen car down on Eldridge Avenue Each night I wait to get caught But I never do She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote When our love was young and bold She said last night she read those letters And they made her feel one hundred years old I'm driving a stolen car on a pitch black night And I'm telling myself it's gonna be alright I drive by night and I travel in fear That in this darkness I will disappear

All the girls in the Paris night All the girls in the pale moonlight All the girls with the shopping bags All the girls with the washing rags All the girls on the telephones All the girls standing all alone All the girls sitting on the wires Who one by one fly into the fire Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me All the girls standing by your beds All the girls standing on their heads All the girls with the broken arms All the girls with the deadly charms All the girls in the restaurants Pretending to be nonchalant Funny girls on the TV shows Close your eyes and they turn to snow Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me All the girls working overtime Telling you everything is fine All the girls in the beauty shops Girls tongues catching the raindrops All the girls that you'll never see Forever a mystery All the girls with their secret ways All the girls who have gone astray Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me Be careful how you bend me Be careful with me

Long black limousine Shiniest car I've ever seen The back seat is nice and clean She rides as quiet as a dream Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud With me riding in this car and you flying through them clouds I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home One day I took your tiny hand Put your finger in the wedding band Your daddy gave a piece of land We made ourselves the best of plans Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home Headlights searching down the driveway The house is dark as it can be I go inside and all is silent And seems as empty as the inside of me I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long, on the long Oh the long, on the long Ride home

Well he jumps in the taxi for the sky He's off to slay some demon dragonfly And he looks at me that long last time Turns away again and I waved goodbye In an envelope inside his coat Is a chain I wore around my throat Along with a note I wrote Said I love you but I don't even know why But darling I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I just had this secret hope Sometimes all we do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying Well a long night turns into a couple long years Of me walking around and round this trail of tears Where the very loud voices of my own fear Ringing and ringing in my ear It says that love is long gone Every move I make is all wrong Says you never gave a damn for me Or anything or anyone But darling, I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I just had this secret hope Sometimes all we do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying May you dream you are dreaming in a warm soft bed And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread Make the sounds of thousands of angels instead Tonight where you might be laying your head I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I'll still have this secret hope Sometimes all I do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying Nobody's crying Nobody's crying

(As performed by Bob Dylan) Tomorrow night Will you remember what you said tonight? Tomorrow night Will all the thrill be gone? Tomorrow night Will this be just another memory? Or just another song That's in my heart to linger on? Your lips are so tender Your heart is beating fast As you willingly surrender To be my darling at last Tomorrow night Will you be with me when the moon is bright? Tomorrow night Will you say those lovely things you said tonight? Your lips are so tender Your heart is beating fast As you willingly surrender To be my darling at last Tomorrow night Will you be with me when the moon is bright? Tomorrow night Will you say those lovely things you said tonight? Tomorrow night Will you say those lovely things you said tonight?

He encontrado en tu amor, la fe perdida, es por eso que mi vida tiene una razón . No sé si fue el embrujo de tus ojos, que le dijo a tus labios, Róbale el corazón. O todos los mil besos que te he dado en la boca se me fue el corazón; si dicen que es pecado querer como te quiero, Quizás tengan razón. Pero que ha de importarme de todo lo que digan, si no te me olvidas; si es pecando amarte, yo seguiré pecan, porque no he de negar. Te seguiri queriendo, te seguiri adorando aunque me vuelva loca. Hasta que me devuelvas el corazón con besos yo te dé en la boca. English Translation: I found my lost faith in your love, And now my life has meaning. I don't know if it was the spell of your eyes When I took your lips That stole my heart... Or all the thousand kisses That I have laid upon your lips When my heart left me If they say it's a sin to love you the way I do Perhaps they are right. But more important than what they say Is that you not forget me So if I have sinned in loving you I will continue sinning, and never be ashamed. I will keep on loving you, keep on adoring you Until I go mad, Or until you return my heart and the thousand kisses That I placed upon your lips. I know that the thousand kisses That I placed upon your lips, Was when my heart left me. If they say it's a sin to love you the way I do, Perhaps they are right. But more important than what they say Is that you not forget me. So if I have sinned in loving you, I will continue sinning and never be ashamed. I will keep on loving you, keep on adoring you Until I go mad... Or until you return my heart And the thousand kisses that I placed upon your lips.

To the end of the earth I search for your face For the one who laid all of our beauty to waste Threw our hope into hell and our children to the fire I am the one who crawled through the wire I am the one who crawled through the wire There's a million sad stories on the side of the road Strange how we all just got used to the blood Millions of stories that'll never be told Silent and froze in the mud Silent and froze in the mud I know a cold as cold as it gets I know a darkness that's darker than coal A wind that blows as cold as it gets Blew out the light of my soul Blew out the light of my soul I dream in my sleep I dream in my days Of some sunny street not so far away Where up in a window a curtain will sway And you and I'll meet down below You and I'll meet down below I know a cold as cold as it gets I fight a war I may never see won I live only to see you live to regret Everything that you've done Everything that you've done Everything that you've done

The Sunday after there was laughter in the air Everybody had a kite They were flying everywhere And all the trouble went away And it wasn't just a dream All the trouble went away And it wasn't just a dream In the middle of the night We try and try with all our might To light a little light down here In the middle of the night We dream of a million kites Flying high above the sadness and the fear Little sister, just remember As you wander through the blue The little kite that you sent flying on a Sunday afternoon Made of something light as nothing Made of joy that matters too How the little dreams we dream Are all we can really do In the middle of the night The world turns with all its might A little diamond, colored blue In the middle of the night We keep sending little kites Until a little light gets through

Say goodbye to the old street that never cared much for you anyway And the different colored doorways you thought would let you in one day Goodbye to the old bus stop, frozen and waiting The Weekend Edition has this town way overrated You walk across the baseball green, the grass has turned to straw A flock of birds tries to fly away from where you are Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend, I can't make you stay I can't spend another ten years wishing you would anyway How the sky turns to fire against a telephone wire And even I'm getting tired of useless desires Every day I take a bitter pill, it gets me on my way For the little aches and pains, the ones I have from day to day To help me think a little less about the things I miss To help me not to wonder how I ended up like this I walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty train With a million other faces I shoot through the city veins Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend, you wanted to be free Somewhere beyond the bitter end is where I want to be How the sky turns to fire against a telephone wire And even I'm getting tired of useless desires Say goodbye to the old building that never tried to know your name Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend, you won't be seeing me again Goodbye to all the window panes shining in the sun Like diamonds on a winter day Goodbye, goodbye to everyone How the sky turns to fire against a telephone wire It burns the last of the day down And I'm the last one hanging around waiting on a train track And the train never comes back And even I'm getting tired of useless desires

I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus the way the my wife does I wished it had been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud But that won't happen now, that won't happen now There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow I think I broke the wings off that little songbird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now To the top of the world I don't have to answer any of these questions Don't have no god to teach me no lessons I'd come home in the evening Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I stayed right there In my chair There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow I think I broke the wings off that little songbird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now To the top of the world I wish I'd have known you I wish I'd have shown you All of the things I was on the inside But I'd pretend to be sleeping When you'd come in in the morning To whisper goodbye and Go to work in the rain Now I don't know why I don't know why Cause everyone's singing, we just wanna be heard Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow I wanna grab a hold of that little songbird Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now To the top of the world To the top of the world.....

As I row, row, row Going so slow, slow, slow Just down below me is the old sea Just down below me is the old sea Nobody knows, knows, knows So many things, things, so So out of range Sometimes so strange Sometimes so sweet Sometimes so lonely The further I go More letters from home never arrive And I'm alone All of the way All of the way Alone and alive Just have to go, go, go Where I don't know, know, know This is the thing Somebody said Somebody told me A long time ago The further I go More letters from home never arrive And I'm alone All of the way All of the way Alone and alive As I row, row, row Going so slow, slow, slow Just down below me is the old sea Just down below me is the old sea

Red lights are flashing on the highway I wonder if we're gonna ever get home I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight Everywhere the water's getting rough Your best intentions may not be enough I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight But if you break down I'll drive out and find you If you forget my love I'll try to remind you And stay by you When it don't come easy I don't know nothing except change will come Year after year what we do is undone Time gets moving from a crawl to a run I wonder if we're gonna ever get home You're out there walking down a highway And all of the signs got blown away Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction But if you break down I'll drive out and find you If you forget my love I'll try to remind you And stay by you When it don't come easy When it don't come easy So many things that I had before Just don't matter to me now Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost And the love I've never found And when the last bird falls And the last siren sounds Someone will say what's been said before It's only love we were looking for When you break down I'll drive out and find you When you forget my love I'll try to remind you And stay by you When it don't come easy When it don't come easy

La la la la la la..... Couple of young girls went Sailing down A1A Into the arms of Florida Sailing down a highway Singing their heads off Protected by the Holy Ghost Flying in from the ocean Driving with their eyes closed The night wants to kiss you deep and be on his way Pretend he don't know you the very next day Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely? How I still hang around here And there's nothing to hold me You slide down into the seat From twelve hours on your feet Get the tide to wash you away For thousands and thousands of days And someone you never meet Signs a check you get every week You try and still can't forget All the strangers that you've met The night never owed you nothing anyway Makes promises that he never intends to keep everyday Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely? How I still hang around here And there's nothing to hold me Everytime, every year The travelers come and go You see them landing with their pale wings And flying back to the snow And the summer comes marching in With his heavy boots on Kicking along the backtop Sidewalks of A1A The young girls in their bare feet Cigarettes smoking Looking every which way Wishing and hoping And you want the night just to let you sleep and be on his way Wrap you up in some cool sheets and have nothing to say Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely? How I still hang around here And there's nothing to hold me Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely? How I still hang around here And there's nothing to hold me La la la la la la.....

Tonight I sing soft and low Just like the moon over the snow I hear icicles falling in the dark In the dark We're just like anyone else We just want a little bit of sun for ourselves And a little bit of rain to make it all grow Maybe a minute or two to get lost in the glow of love There's always someone throwing matches around Waving the shiny new knife The first to run when the house burns down I've seen it every day of my life I must confess there appears to be Way more darkness than light I want to fall like a pearl to the bottom of the sea Where no one will find us tonight Tonight it might look pretty bad We might lose everything we thought that we had But shadows will pass Smoke, it will clear If something survives of us around here I'll be glad 'cause I know I was lost in the glow of love

Little old man, little old man staring down the road Waiting on the bus, he's getting kinda cold Bus finally gets there, he got nowhere to sit down And the driver said, "You can stand right here behind me or wait for the next one to come around" And the old man says, "That's okay, I'll stand I might look like a little old man to you But I've been riding this bus for years and years and years I don't even know where it's going to" And the driver says, "You don't know where this bus is going to?"

Oh, there he is Hey, old man, old man, old man, you still don't know?" And the old man says, "No, I don't son, but I'm happy to go" Hey, "I'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere" Hey, he said, "I'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere I was born with no name, knowing nothing, still I don't Somebody said, 'You need a name, I'm gonna give you a name' And I said, 'No, you won't,' I said, 'No, you won't'" Oh, "You can let me off here, son, thank you for the ride" And the driver said, "This is the middle of nowhere, sir," He pulls off to the side And the old man says, "It might look that way to you, maybe it is" Old man says, "It might look that way to you, son, maybe it is," And he says, "Stay on the ride, it's gonna take you somewhere," Hey, hey, he said, "Stay on the ride, it's gonna take you somewhere Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere It always takes you somewhere, gotta take you somewhere It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere"

You took a silver train all the way to Maine On the way to everything Railroad wings There's things you don't know you know I thought anger told me what to do With emptiness chasing me On the border, I found you You should've heard her sing Railroad wings This emptiness has followed me like a cold blue sky And it has not been easy for you There's things I'll never tell you till the day I die Things I've done I can never undo Hiding everything Railroad wings All these years along, the lights are growing dim I hear you sing your song in the next room And as far as I can tell, most everything means nothing Except some things that mean everything Railroad wings

I went up to the mountain Because you asked me to Up over the clouds To where the sky was blue I could see all around me Everywhere I could see all around me Everywhere Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothing but tired And I'll be walking Till the day I expire Sometimes I lay down No more can I do But then I go on again Because you ask me to Some days I look down Afraid I will fall And though the sun shines I see nothing at all Then I hear your sweet voice, oh Oh, come and then go, come and then go Telling me softly You love me so The peaceful valley Just over the mountain The peaceful valley Few come to know I may never get there Ever in this lifetime But sooner or later It's there I will go Sooner or later It's there I will go

I'm no kid in a kid's game I did what I did, I've got no one to blame But I don't give up, no, I don't ever give up It's all I've got, it's my claim to fame I'm no fighter but I'm fighting This whole world seems uninviting But I don't give up, no, I don't ever give up I fall down sometimes, sometimes I come back flying Liars are lying, airplanes are flying Love isn't here, love isn't here But it's somewhere Time to forget me, but something won't let me Love isn't here, love isn't here But it's somewhere And I cleaned and I washed up This dream I don't ever give up I don't ever give up, I don't ever give up No, I don't ever give up, no, I don't ever give up No, I don't ever give up, I don't ever give up

Have you ever been baptized in the cool winter water On a Sunday morning when the sky was gray? You filed out of the churchyard, so cold it was silver To gold, tan, and blue cars, and the cars drove away All the memories fade, send the ghosts on their way Tell them they've had their day, it's someone else's tomorrow The tall and the tiny ships on the water Farther and farther, floating away Will never return now, all wooden and burned out They echo and groan now in their salty graves All the memories fade, send the the ghosts on their way Tell them they've had their day, it's someone else's tomorrow Someone else's tomorrow

Light it up, baby, light up that fire I don't know what's gonna save me from the cold now And these sorrows I'm crying over And these sorrows I'm crying over Embrace me, embrace me with your kind love It's all I've ever wanted, all I've ever dreamed of And all of this dreaming of silver and gold Is something to break this winter so cold And these sorrows I'm crying over And these sorrows I'm crying over We go straight for the thunder, straight for the rain Love leaves a mark and love leaves a strain Back in the saddle again and again Millions of eyes and none of them friends You better light it up, baby, you better light up that fire Cause I don't know what's gonna save me from the cold now From these sorrows I'm crying over From these sorrows I'm crying over From these sorrows I'm crying over Crying over

I am no longer young, I'm an old man's daughter We got caught with the sun going down We spent most of our days adrift on the water That's how I know my way around And it's hard to be free When freedom is just me And the waves on the terrible sea I could land with the rest of all the broken down birds That's where I found my way home With the rest of the faces on the face of the earth Facing off with the great unknown And all the tears that we cry Is something gone wrong Is somebody lost The places long gone Keep on moving, baby, keep on moving The wave's coming over your knees And it's hard to be free See some things that I see Be some things that I be And come all the way, all the way, all the way home again

You might get lucky some days, not a drop of rain And you're too long on the town and you leave your trouble on the train And then there's only doubt until you're on your feet again There's only up or down The lucky boys upstairs with their penthouse views Making the ladies, making the news And I'm taking the orders and pouring the booze There's only up or down And they say no one likes a big mouth, yeah, but I've got one anyway Big as any fat cat, I say what I wanna say And I don't care if you listen, and I don't care if you walk away There's only up or down Shooting little stars Dying to be near Burn up along the way Into the atmosphere Shooting little stars Dying to be near I told the young bond salesman just the other day When I was his age I was sailing away I sailed the Russian sea, I've seen the Phillipines Down to Panama and all the way around Sometimes there's trouble on the ocean, sometimes there's trouble on the shore And there's always someone hoping there won't be trouble anymore It's an elevator, baby, get off on any floor There's only up or down Only up or down

Followed your road till the sky ran out Followed your love till love was in doubt Followed your love till it never really was at all Feeling stupid and hollow Now the moon's gonna follow me home Waited for you till the snow fell down Over my skin like a thin nightgown Waited for you but you never came around at all Waited for you till they pulled the plug Bartender emptied out his big tip jug They swept all the floors Vacuumed the rugs and went home Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna follow me home Time go easy on me tonight Cause I'm one of the lost sheep alright Take what you must, take what you must Of what I've lost as I have roamed Let the moon follow me home Followed your tears with a washing pail Followed your story, I followed your tail Followed you straight through the doors of your jail cell Followed your voice in the darkness soft A wind came through and carried it off Followed your love till it never really was at all Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna follow me home Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna follow me home

Occured to me the other day You've been gone now a couple years Well I guess it takes awhile For someone to really disappear And I remember where I was When the word came about you It was a day much like today The sky was bright and wide and blue And I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye Today my heart is big and sore It's trying to push right through my skin Won't see you anymore I guess that's finally sinkin' in Cause you can't make somebody see With the simple words you say All their beauty from within Sometimes they just look away And I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye Some better way to say goodbye

If you had the real thing how would you tell Liars can say it all just as well Every single word you've heard in vain Baubles of gold, stars in your hair Reflections that told that they were not there And the diamonds on your cheeks have turned to flames And up in the air they would write your name there But love would fall to pieces in the rain Who would know better than you A hundred love letters and none of them true Christina, Christina It's a wondrous world of ridiculous things With nothing so rare as the love that it brings In the silence of a smile that understands A piece of the action, pieces of gold Everyone's paid well and does what they're told For the simple daughter of a simple man And up in the air they would write your name there But love would fall to pieces in the rain Who would know better than you A hundred love letters and none of them true Christina, Christina Christina, Christina

Hey Peter Pan I'm going home now I've done all I can Besides I'm grown now I'll think of you all painted with the night You sit and watch from somewhere As one by one the lights go out I wrote a note to tell you how you matter When the rain came down All the letters scattered And washed away Drifted off to never Where you'll be safe from me now forever I believe you now when You say that this will hurt So I don't have to go and Play with you in the dirt now Hey Peter Pan I'm going home now I'm all grown up You're on your own now I'll think of you all painted with the night You sit and watch from somewhere As one by one the lights go out

It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart Beating close to mine Pounding up against the stone and steel Walls that I won't climb Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep You think that you're gonna drown Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep With all this rain falling down Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds When I'm holding on underneath this shroud Rain It's hard to know when to give up the fight Some things you want will just never be right It's never rained like it has tonight before Now I don't wanna beg you baby For something maybe you could never give I'm not looking for the rest of your life I just want another chance to live Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds When I'm holding on underneath this shroud Rain Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds When I'm holding on underneath this shroud Rain Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds Well I'm still alive underneath this shroud Rain Rain Rain

We were drinking like the Irish but we were drinking scotch Bartender turns on a movie, everybody turned to watch And every single eye was gleaming when they reached the final scene Well at least mine did, here's lookin' at you kid You know it's a mad mission under difficult conditions Not everybody makes it to the loving cup It's a mad mission but I got the ambition Mad, mad mission, sign me up I think I've seen the look before, yes, it's kind of non-commital It says come hither, baby, but then he's hard wood to whittle He says it don't mean a thing but still somehow it does He'd like you to join the club that likes to say There's no such thing as love It's a mad mission under difficult conditions Not everybody makes it to the loving cup It's a mad mission but I got the ambition Mad, mad mission, sign me up Sometimes you find yourself flying low at night Flying blind and looking for any sign of light You're cold and scared and all alone You'd do anything just to make it home It's a mad mission under difficult conditions Not everybody makes it to the loving cup It's a mad mission but I got the ambition Mad, mad mission, sign me up Sign me up

All the girls in the Paris night All the girls in the pale moonlight All the girls with the shopping bags All the girls with the washing rags All the girls on the telephones All the girls standing all alone All the girls sitting on the wires Who one by one fly into the fire Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me All the girls standing by your beds All the girls standing on their heads All the girls with the broken arms All the girls with the deadly charms All the girls in the restaurants Pretending to be nonchalant Funny girls on the TV shows Close your eyes and they turn to snow Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me All the girls working overtime Telling you everything is fine All the girls in the beauty shops Girls tongues catching the raindrops All the girls that you'll never see Forever a mystery All the girls with their secret ways All the girls who have gone astray Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me Be careful how you bend me Be careful with me

Does anyone remember Tony? He was a quiet boy, a little over weight He had breasts like a girl When I wasn't too busy feeling lonely I'd stare over his shoulder at a map of the world He always finished all his homework Raised his hand in homerooom For the morning attendance And the pledge alligence to the gloom Hey Tony, what's so good about dying? I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror Saw that little faggot staring back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away I hated every day of high school It's funny, I guess, that you did too Funny how I never knew There I was sitting right behind you They wrote it in the local rag Death comes to the local fag I guess you finally stopped believing That any hope would ever find you I know that story, I was sitting right behind you Hey Tony, what's so good about dying? I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror Saw that little faggot staring back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Hey Tony, what's so good about dying? I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror Saw that little faggot staring back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Tony..... Hey Tony, what's so good about dying?

Mary You're covered in roses You're covered in ashes You're covered in rain You're covered in babies You're covered in slashes You're covered in wilderness You're covered in stains You cast aside the sheets You cast aside the shroud Of another man who served the world proud And you greet another son and you lose another one On some sunny day and always you stay Mary Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place Oh Mary She moves behind me She leaves her fingerprints everywhere Everytime the snow drifts Every way the sand shifts Even when the night lifts, she's always there Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place Oh Mary You're covered in roses You're covered in ruins You're covered in secrets Your'e covered in tree tops You're covered in birds Who can sing a million songs without any words You cast aside the sheets You cast aside the shroud Of another man who served the world proud And you greet another son, and you lose another one On some sunny day and always you stay Mary.....

Ain't no talking to this man Ain't no pretty other side Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that so I'm gonna let him fly Gonna let him fly Things can move at such a pace The second hand just waved goodbye You know the light has left his face but you can't recall just where or why So there was really nothing to it I just went and cut right through it I said I'm gonna let him fly There's no mercy in a live wire, no rest at all in freedom Of the choices we are given it's no choice at all The proof is in the fire you touch before it moves away But you must always know how long to stay and when to go And there ain't no talking to this man He's been tryin to tell me so It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go Cause it would take an acrobat and I already tried all that so I'm gonna let him fly I'm gonna let him fly, fly I'm gonna let him fly, fly I'm gonna let him fly

Well he jumps in the taxi for the sky He's off to slay some demon dragonfly And he looks at me that long last time Turns away again and I waved goodbye In an envelope inside his coat Is a chain I wore around my throat Along with a note I wrote Said I love you but I don't even know why But darling I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I just had this secret hope Sometimes all we do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying Well a long night turns into a couple long years Of me walking around and round this trail of tears Where the very loud voices of my own fear Ringing and ringing in my ear It says that love is long gone Every move I make is all wrong Says you never gave a damn for me Or anything or anyone But darling, I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I just had this secret hope Sometimes all we do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying May you dream you are dreaming in a warm soft bed And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread Make the sounds of thousands of angels instead Tonight where you might be laying your head I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I'll still have this secret hope Sometimes all I do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying Nobody's crying Nobody's crying

Must have walked ten million miles Must have walked ten million miles Wore some shoes that weren't my style Ten million miles I've been kind of told some lies Like anyone who's lived or died Like anyone who's ever tried To walk ten million miles I memorize and I forget I do some things that I regret Wish for things I never get Walk in the rain and get wet Must have walked ten million miles Must have walked ten million miles So think before you criticize Ten million miles Traveled round from place to place Wore some rags around my waist And other times a dress of lace And always search for your sweet face You oughta come some time for tea Maybe we could see the sea Talk a lot or let things be Just enjoy the mystery Must have walked ten million miles Must have walked ten million miles Wore some shoes that weren't my style Fell into the rank and file So just say I was here a while A fool in search of your sweet smile Ten million miles

Oh first star Second one, too Oh hear me now While I wish on you, while I wish on you Cause I hope that we’re going somewhere After spinning around for years I know I’ve no right to ask you For these wishes I’m wishing down here Oh my friend I don’t know Where we’re going But I’m wishin so, but I’m wishin so For some hope to come out of nowhere For sadness to have an end That I could meet with you back there somewhere And we could start all over again All these things that I tell you Don’t go breaking my heart in two But I’m not fighting with the wind Joy will come again And wishes I’m wishin will come true Oh first star Second one, too Oh hear me now While I wish on you While I wish on you While I wish on you While I wish on you While I wish on you While I wish on you

Here on the inside looking at the outside Losing my memory faster than my pride Here I am, baby, blind as a bat outta hell Cut me loose of that ball and chain Packed up a glad bag, hopped on a train To the land of the lonely, as far as I can tell I was laughing like a fool on fire Candle burning into my hand Sitting like a bird on a wire I had to find me a place to stand Well, this city got its poison pens
