fool

apartment in new york, london and paris
where will we rest, we’re all living on top of it
it’s all that we have the usa is our daily bread
and no one is willing to share it

why can’t we see our fortunancy
living as legends have lived.
bane and dismannered
we coax all the time
knowing that nothing is left when we die

come along fool
a direct hit of the senses you are disconnected
it’s not that it’s bad…it’s not that it’s death
it’s just on the tip of your tongue, and you're so silent

wanting to live and laugh all the time
sitting alone with you tea and your crime
children with kids, and people with parents
anywhich way there’s no past and no presence
when the day comes and all of them bums
will reveal enchanting persons
come along...

when it's a rut and baby's no luck
half of it's misunderstanding love
the war we have won we're winning again
within ourselves and within our friends
come along...

it’s okay if you can stand to let her dance
it’s okay it’s your right, come on and take a chance

cool hands from the get-go

i don't blame you

last time i saw you, you were on stage
your hair was wild, your eyes were red
you were in a rage
you were swinging your guitar around
cause they wanted to hear that sound
that you didn’t want to play
i don’t blame you

i don’t blame you

been around the world, in many situations
been inside many heads in different positions
but you never wanted them that way
what a cruel price you thought that you had to pay
and that for all that shit on stage

but it never made sense to them anyway
could you imagine when they turned their backs
they were only scratching their heads
cause you simply deserve the best
and i don’t blame you

they said you were the best
but then they were only kids
then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in
just because they knew your name
doesn’t mean they know from where you came
what a sad trick you thought that you had to play
but i don’t blame you

they never owned it
and you never owed it to them anyway

i don’t blame you

empty shell

all that is left is an empty shell
of my heart that is crushed
i don't never wanna see
what my mind has seen
when you loved me
every night, every night alone with you
every night alone now

when she sits on your lap
try to pretend to laugh
when she does stupid things
just like i used to do
do no hate her
don't you even try
for to leave her is to love her
the same as you and i
I love you
and i miss you too
i really do love you
and i really miss you too

but i don't know you
and i don't need you
and i don't want you anymore

every night, every night alone with you
every night alone now

could we

could we
take a walk
could we
have a talk alone
in the afternoon

could we heave a seat
why yes be my guest
you can hold my hand

what a dream
in the grass
we kissd
fell in love too fast too soon
love full bloom

should we get up
let's wake up
let's get dressed
i'll let you walk me up the street
back home

thank you
it was great
lets make another date
real soon
in the afternoon

lived in bars

we've lived in bars
and danced on the tables
hotels trains and ships that sail
we swim with sharks
and fly with aeroplanes in the air

send in the trumpets
the marching wheelchairs
open the blankets and give them some air
swords and arches bones and cement
the lights and the dark of the innocent of men

we know your house so very well
and we will wake you once we've walked up
all your stairs

there's nothing like living in a bottle
and nothing like ending it all for the world
we're so glad you will come back
every living lion will lay in your lap
the kid has a homecoming the champion the horse
who's gonna play drums guitar or organ with chorus
as far as we've walked from both of ends of the sand
never have we caught a glimpse of this man

we know your house so very well
and we will bust down your door if you're not there

we've lived in bars
and danced on tables
hotels trains and ships that sail
we swim with sharks
and fly with aeroplanes out of here
out of here

living proof

It's not your face
Or the color of your hair
Or the sound of your voice my dear
That's got me dragged in here
It's the ice in the seam, the scheme of you
You're supposed to have the answer
You're supposed to have living proof

Yes i was jealous
Because you are sworn
How could you come undone to a word so strong
My beating heart the anchor to a ship so warm
You're supposed to have the answer
You're supposed to have living proof
Well i am your answer i am living

Will you terrorize this
With your perfect lips
I watch you eat and feed this mess
To the running wind
But i know you from before and after until then
Do you have your answer
Do you have living proof
Well i am your answer i am living

You're supposed to have an answer
You're supposed to have living proof
Well do you have your answer
Do you have your answer
Well i am your answer i am living

wild is the wind

love me, love me
say you do

let me fly away
with you

we're creatures of the wind
wild is the wind

give me more than one grasp
to satisfy this hungryness
we're creatures of the wind
wild is the wind

you touch me
i hear the sound of mandolines
you kiss me
with your kiss my life begins

like a leaf clings to a tree
baby please cling to me
we're creatures of the wind
wild is the wind

you touch me
i hear the sound of mandolins
and you kiss me
with your kiss my life begins

love me, love me
say you do

let me fly away
with you

and i'm doin' this and i'm signin' that
and i'm tryin' to make some boy

when i'm ridin' a round the globe
and i'm doin' this and i'm signin' that
and i'm tryin'

and a thousand miles from home
he'd never harmed no one
and he was a friend of mine

and i will drink myself to
death
if i'm never in
