An urgent call in the dead of night. A voice that whispers "Now". A voice that trembles like a winter leaf. Before it hits the ground. She leaves a crack in the bedroom door.
(The river must flow). I love you, you're the one that I adore. And no man could love you more. It's like a river that flows to the sea. I need you like the jasmine needs the rain.
Sound the trumpets for the princess and her fool. A joke, a jester just to make her smile. Silver bells on his hat and on his pointed shoes. Tears rolling down his cheeks.
Who's that a-knockin' at my door tonight?. Leave me alone 'til there's morning light. . You live and learn, you make mistakes. You can't imagine why. The fire burns for heaven's sake.
The sea is sad the world is stray. The love of earth has passed away. And war after war how we fail and ignore what we defend. And soon it will end. The pain is east the pain is west.
Blow east wind blow. Blow as you may. Wish I had the power. To take your breath away. This life is golden. But it's only deep as the skin. Feelin' much colder.
If I could choose. I'd calm this dawn. But the storm is me insensible and free. Now that you know I've come here to go. You're suddenly sad you've been mine.
Hey woman walking on a wire. I know your back is to the wall. What lies in water lies in fire. It's all in how you take the fall. . Why don't you stay with me.
Tonight I watch you in your sleep. Wondering what dark secrets you keep. Away from me. A careless word falls from your lips. A time and place that somehow slips.
Jack my friend, he's a busy man. Trying to hustle an easy buck instead of a good man's dollar. Oh Jack my buddy he's so goddamn full of money. Workin' for a funny company for his father.
I want some slow love, the kind that lasts forever. The kind of love that will be there in the morning. I want some slow love, the kind that leaves me never.
Spark my body into existence. Breath your life into me. Fill these eyes with temptation. Work your mystery. Make me in the image you desire. Raise me up from the Earth.
The city's burning with desire. High-heeled chicks turnin' tricks in a trance. Pin-stripe zombies on fire. Sayin' hey baby, here's a dime for a dance.
Hack jaws and hellions don't you step on my z's. I'm gettin' rather ornery 'bout my natural means. I'll I want is a small piece of the pie. A place in the sun to comfort my eyes.
You been laying it on the line. Too much fat to burn. You been stuck on a course. While the world around you turns. You been out in the rain. But babe, oh the sun still shines.
Sally, she says the sweetest things. But words won't stop the pain. She's painting skies of blue. While I'm standing in the rain. . I love her still I always will.
Put the weight on my shoulders. Take the load off of your mind. Cause the headwinds that blow. Will fade away in time. . Rest yourself on my waters. Take the lifeline from me.
Coke machines on the ho chi minh trail. Russian spies shopping at bloomingdales. Killer bees swarming up the rio grande. Hey baby where'd you get that tan.
