Touch me, babe,
Can't you see that I am not afraid
What was that promise that you made,
Why won't you tell me what she said
What was that promise that she made
Now I'm gonna love you till the heaven stops the rain
I'm gonna love you till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I
SHAMAN'S BLUES
There will never be another one like you
There will never be another one
Who can do the things you do. Oh!
Will you give another chance?
Will you try a little try?
Please stop and you'll remember
we were together, any way
All right
Now, if you have a certain evening you could lend to me,
I'll give it all right back to you
Know how it has to be with you
I know your moods and your mind, and your mind
and your mind, and your mind, and you're mine
Will you stop to think and wonder
Just what you'll see
Out on the train yard nursing penitentiary
It's gone. I cry out long
Did you stop to consider how it will feel,
Cold grindin' grizzly bear jaws hot on your heels
Do you often stop and whisper in
Saturday's shore that
The whole world's a savior
Who could ever ever ever ever ever ever
ask for more?
Do you remember?
Will you stop, will you stop the pain?
How you must think and wonder
How I must feel out on the meadows
While you're on the field
I'm alone for you, and I cry
He's sweatin', look at him...optical promise...you'll
be dead and in hell before I'm borne...sure
thing...bridesmaid...the only solution - isn't it amazing?
DO IT
Yeah, please me, yeah
Please, baby
Please please
Please, please, listen to me children
Please, please, listen to me children
Please, please, listen to me children
You are the ones who will rule the world
You gotta please me all night
Please, please, listen to me, children said
Please, please, listen to me children
Please Yeah, please me
Please, please, listen to me children,
Please, my children
Please, children
Please, children
EASY RIDE
And I know, it will be an Easy Ride oh yeah,
And I know it will be Easy Ride O.K.
The mask that you wore my fingers would explore
Costume of control excitement soon unfolds
And I know it will be an Easy Ride, yeah,
Joy fought vaguely with your pride
with your pride
Like polished stone, like polished stone,
I see your eyes,
Like burning glass, like burning glass,
I hear you smile.
Smile, babe.
Coda queen now be my bride
Rage in darkness by my side
Seize the summer in your pride
Take the winter in your stride, let's ride
Easy, easy, easy, easy,
Easy, easy, easy... All right.
WILD CHILD
Wild child full of grace
Savior of the human race
Your cool face
Natural child, terrible child
You're our child screaming wild
With hunger at her heels freedom in her eyes,
She dances on her knees, pirate prince at her side
Staring into the hollow idol's eye
Wild child full of grace
Savior of the human race
Your cool face Your cool face
Your cool Your cool face
"You remember when we were in Africa"
RUNNIN' BLUES
Poor Otis dead and gone, left me here to sing his song,
Pretty little girl with the red dress on,
Poor Otis dead and gone
Back down, turn around slowly, try it again,
Remembering when, it was easy, try it again,
Much too easy remembering when
All right, look at my shoes, not quite the walkin' blues
Don't fight, too much to lose
Can't fight the Runnin' Blues
Well, I've got the Runnin' Blues
Runnin' away, back to L.A.
Got to find the dock on the bay
Maybe find it back in L.A.
Runnin' scared, Runnin' Blues,
Goin' so fast, what'll I do?
All right, look at my shoes, not quite the walkin' blues,
Don't fight, too much to lose;
Can't find the Runnin' Blues
WISHFUL SINFUL
Wishful crystal water covers ev'rything in blue cooling water
Wishful sinful, our love is beautiful to see,
I know where I would like to be:
Right back where I came
Wishful sinful wicked blue water covers you
Wishful sinful wicked you, can't escape the blue
Magic rising sun is shining, deep beneath the sea
But, not enough for you and me and sunshine
Love to hear the wind cry
You and me and sunshine, love to hear the wind cry
THE SOFT PARADE
"When I was back there in seminary school,
There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer...
Petition the Lord with prayer...
Petition the Lord with prayer...
Petition the Lord with prayer...
You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!"
Can you give me sanctuary?
I must find a place to hide, a place for me to hide
Can you find me soft asylum?
I can't make it anymore; the man is at the door
Peppermint miniskirts, chocolate candy,
Champion sax and a girl named Sandy;
There's only four ways to get unraveled;
One is to sleep and the the other is travel,
One is a band it up in the hills,
One is to love your neighbour till his wife gets home
Catacombs, nursery bones,
Winter women growing stones,
Carrying babies to the river;
Streets and shoes, avenues,
Leather riders selling news
The monk bought lunch
Successful hills are here to stay
Everything must be this way
Gentle streets where people play,
Welcome to the soft parade
All our lives we sweat and save,
Building for a shallow grave
"Must be something else" we say,
"Somehow to defend this place."
Everything must be this way,
Everything must be this way
The soft parade has now begun;
Listen to the engines hum
People out to have some fun,
Cobra on my left, leopard on my right
Deer woman in a silk dress,
Girls with beads around their necks,
Kiss the hunter of the green vest
Who has wrestled before with lions in the night
Out of sight!
The lights are getting brighter,
The radio is moaning,
Callin' to the dogs there are still a few animals
Left out in the yard, but it's getting harder
To describe sailors to the underfed
Tropic corridor, tropic treasure
What got us this far, to this mild Equator?
We need someone or something new,
Something else to get us through
1st voice: 2nd voice: 3rd voice:
Callin' on the dogs,
callin' on the dogs,
But it's getting callin' on the dogs,
harder, callin' on the dogs,
callin' on the dogs
calling on the dogs
You gotta
Shoot at a few meet me Too late, baby!
animals
left out in the yard at the crossroads Too late!
but it's getting much
harder Gotta meet me
at the edge of town, Tropic corridor,
You'd better come along tropic treasure
outskirts of the city
Just you and I
We were so alone
Better bring your gun
Better bring your gun Tropic corridor,
You'd better bring your tropic treasure
gun
"When all else fails, we can whip the horses' eyes
and make them sleep and cry."
