Save That Baby

You got to save that baby from a burning building.
save that baby from a burning building.
save that baby from a burning building
Or bad luck will come your way.
You got to save that baby from a burning building.
save that baby from a burning building.
If you save that baby from a burning building
true love will come your way.

See-Saw
04:01
|
|||
I am waiting to fall into the sky,
and I am weighing down the see-saw on my side.
And you're sitting on the other side
And I am looking into your eyes.
And I am sawing you in half, and the other half is me..

With The Black Night
03:51
|
|||
With the black night, all the shadows will become one.
With the black night, the worm slips silently from the ground.
In the safety of your domain
there is silence, there is pain.
With the black night, you deepest secrets will come out.
With the black night, spirits meet with the least resistance.
Do no confuse invisibility with non-existence.
For even as you speak to your god,
from the corner of your eye a creature odd
chants mea culpa, a mea culpa benedictus.
With the black night, infinity is a feeling.
With the black night, old battle scars are healing.
And remembrances of shame
are as distant as your name.
With the black night, clocks stop on a landscape unrevealing.
With the black night, you deepest secrets will come out.

BIG HOLE
02:37
|
|||
My blood is filling up the sidewalk cracks.
It's leaving my body and it's never coming back.
I drilled a big hole in my heart because of you.
I drilled a big hole in my heart because of you.
I took a drill bit down from off the shelf.
A 3/8th bit, was it big enough? Well, I can't tell.
I drilled a big hole in my heart because of you.
I drilled a big hole in my heart because of you.
You can keep the drill gun, you can keep the bit.
You can keep my heart inside a jar, just seal the lid.
I drilled a big hole in my heart because of you.
I drilled a big hole in my heart because of you.

This Tiny Pain
04:07
|
|||
Time goes by so slowly, here in this tiny pain.
and those of you who don't know me,
are opportune not to know me again.
And I thank you for your indifference.
It falls like gentle rain.
Onto the beast below us, here in this tiny pain.
here in this tiny pain.
She loved me like a soldier, and buried me like a wife.
After the surgery's over, I hold no grudge against the knife.
Cause even in the greatest tragedy,
the only constant is change.
And something's always growing, here in this tiny pain.
here in this tiny pain.
(instru break, repeat verse 1).

Goodnight San Francisco, wherever you are.
Tonight I'll be sleeping under the stars.
See all the funny people crossing the bridge in funny cars.
Is that where you are?
Goodnight San Francisco, who gives a good damn?
For the nights we spent with the lions and lambs.
I never meant to abhor you, but I guess that's who I am.
Let's call it a night.
How did we get so far from Grace?
I see you still wear it on your face.
A million laughing children arriving tonight
from outer space!
Goodnight San Francisco, wherever you are.
Tonight I'll be sleeping under the stars.
See all the funny people crossing the bridge in funny cars.
Is that where you are?
So, let's call it a night - in the morning,
call it a night, San Franciso.
Goodnight, San Francisco.
Goodnight.

It Takes A Fool
03:48
|
|||
It takes a fool, to break the rules.
It takes a fool to try.
I've watched as you
climbed rope ladders to the moon.
You try, and you sigh, and you cry.
Oh but you don't have to make
all the same sad mistakes
It takes a fool, such as I.
I know you've found the best around,
and only the rich can buy it.
But don't you weep, before you sleep,
tonight is the night you can ride it.
Oh and you don't have to fake,
what you give and what you take,
That takes a fool,
such as I.
Oh but you don't have to make
all the same sad mistakes
It takes a fool, such as I.
It takes a fool,
such as I.

Immigrant In The World
02:32
|
|||
When I first came to your country,
I had about ten thousand,
I had about ten thousand
invitations to your world.
So I rode the hills and valleys
I gave it up to reason
I said it was the season
You war is over and your war is done.
And oh, I was afraid
there would be no parties or parades.
but oh, I didn't see
that when it is over,
then it is done.
So I rode the hills and highways
I gave it up to reason
I said it was the season
You war is over and your war is done.
When I first came to your country,
I had about ten thousand,
I had about ten thousand
invitations to your world.

LOST MEN
04:23
|
|||
Lost men
have a way of
finding ways back
into the past.
In books and eyes,
both wild and wide,
and every crime
under the moon.
They say,
"oh, I,
oh, I,
oh, I,
oh...
I've seen this place before,
and I'm beating on the door.
And I've seen this place before,
and I'm beating at the door."
Lost men
have a way of
finding ways back
into the past.
