There's a brawl in a lonely 'whites only' bar. A lekker groove in a classy shebeen. Someone betrayed in a government car. A silent movement on the stock market screen.
Chorus. Take my heart away (repeat). . To be the sound of wild geese calling. To be ten seasons in a night. To dance the sun beyond the tides of war and peace.
Dal e mi soula. Y me incuerdo. Did you see my family. We had a sweet simple glory. We had a gallant who works for me. . For I was once an immortal. With General Walker's gringo army.
Of all the treasure in our chest. We love the golden god of war the best. . Look, look at that little clown. Here, look through the binoculars. Someone burned his schoolhouse down.
Feelin' low. Rockin' slow. I want to go. Right back where i belong. . Way down south in birmingham. I mean south in alabam'. There's an old place where people go.
See the guy in the corner. The one who's drinking another glass. There's a look in his eye. That I've seen so many times in the past. I've seen it in the mirror.
I know that you think I protest too much. I'm like a diva with a tragic touch. But if I wanna hide from the pouring sun. It has to be alright. And I could have my pride but I'll try to run.
Hey - did you ever see so many stars in the sky. Yeah - and can you imagine how many we can't even see. Imagine we're in the jiddle of the Galaxy. Yeah - Imagine how many blazing stars there'd be.
You know you're gonna have to face up to the facts. You're just another face in a big crowd. You know we gotta try hard to relax. We can laugh - but not too loud.
Sunday evening down the penny arcade. I see your face in the pinball game. Put in a quarter and it starts to fade. Tell myself it won't appear again. But this is just another game I've played so badly.
Where's that tiger! Where's that tiger!. Where's that tiger! Where's that tiger!. Hold that tiger! Hold that tiger ! Hold that tiger!. Choke him, poke him, kick him and soak him!.
Thugz are us, thugs are us. Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus. Thugz are us, thugs are us. We don't want no trouble. Unless you make a fuss.
Wake up this mornin' and the paper's on the mat. Poor gettin' poorer and the rich are gettin' fat again. Up in the towers, all the bosses sittin' sneezin'.
If I stop and think about it. I'm either stone cold certain. Or more inclined to doubt it. But when you jump into the darkness. Well, I take off my hat.
Did you do me right?. Did I do right by you?. When I bared my soul it seems you did not hear. Can this be true?. Am I fool to fight?. I could do just what you say.
Guess we can still be friends. Guess we can talk at least. But if we were seventeen. Imagine the things we'd do. . I know that those days are over,. I'm glad that those games are won.
There goes another one. Another happy couple on the road to emptiness. I think of my father and mother. Can they imagine how two people can get in this mess.
It happened one night. At three in the morning. The devil appeared in my studio room. And he said I'm your pal. And I'll make you a deal. Blow away your struggle.
Hey pal. Can I take your picture for the people back home. They won't believe it when they see this stuff. You see the camera that I got in Hong Kong.
Some say the world is spinning faster. Some say it isn't fast enough. Some people say they've got the answer. And some are scared to say they can't keep up.
