velvety up tight against the side of me and mouth and eyes and heart all bleed and run in thickening streams of greed as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece oh i miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss before i feed the stench of a love for a younger meat and the sound that it makes when it cuts in deep the holding up on bended knees the addiction of duplicities as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece but i never said i would stay to the end so i leave you with babies and hoping for frequency screaming like this is the hope of the secrecy screaming me over and over and over i leave you with photographs pictures of trickery stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery songs about happiness murmured in dreams when we both of us know how the ending would be ... so it's all some back round to breaking apart again breaking apart like i'm made up of glass again making it up behind my back again holding my breath for the fear of sleep again holding it up behind my head again cut in deep to the heart of the bone again round and round and round and it's coming apart again over and over and over now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces i'll pull out my heart and i'll feed it to anyone crying for sympathy crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone dropping through sky through the glass of the roof through the roof of your mouth through the mouth of your eye through the eye of the needle it's easier for me to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again i never said i would stay to the end i know i would leave you with babies and everything screaming like this in the hole of sincerity screaming me over and over and over i leave you with photographs pictures of trickery stains on the carpet and stains on the memory songs about happiness murmured in dreams when we both of us knew how the end always is ... how the end always is ...

And I am certain, that deep down there it studies the nature and structure of my white omnipotence First it monkeys with halfmouldered chests. Then I feel splinters shooting through my shoulders. And I am certain, that deep down there it studies the nature and structure of my white omnipotence Now it reads old forms. This is the most annoying, and with reason. For too many slaves I had, too many slaves I had, in the tax-deduction season. And I am certain, that deep down there it studies the nature and structure of my white omnipotence Too many slaves I had, too many slaves I had, Too many slaves I had, too many slaves I had. ------------------------------------------------------- What's the story / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders) What's the story? Robber shoots cop. Love & hate, action & death. Man meets woman. Husband leaves wife. Love & hate, action & death. Film is a battlefield: begin, middle and end. the rest is ballony. What's the story? it will play. Shakespeare not England, Moliere not France. Love & hate, action & death. If Dickens were Russian, would Oliver twist? Love & hate, action & death. ------------------------------------------------------- Lamp lady / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders) the image: a woman ... helpfull, attending, and handling with care. Imagine: a batterfield ... With sparse light, at lives lost, a red cross to bear. The lady with the lamp is what The lady with the lamp is what They called her; The country needed heroes, the papers had to sell ... The medicines, the lady, the cupboard, the lamp. The lock not the key, a light in the hand. The prescriptions, the wounded, the look through the glass. Demand not supply, a pain in the ass The lady with the lamp is what The lady with the lamp is what They called her; The country needed heroes, the papers had to sell ... The soldiers in the sickbay, the cupboard for medicines. Its smashed front window in demand for supply. The stories from hearsay, the covers of the magazines ... But the wounded, they knew the papers lied. The lady with the lamp is what The lady with the lamp is what They called her; The country needed heroes, the papers had to sell ... The lady without glamour is the lady with the hammer is what she was ... The lady with the hammer is what she was ... ------------------------------------------------------- Everything & me / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders) I've got my television, and radio, the record-player, the video, and I also have my trombone, synthesizer, my drumkit and my stamp- collection; my garden, my library and my aquariuml my jet-ski, my waterskis, monoskis, my speedboat, ultra-light plane and hang- glider; my hedge-clippers, vacuum-cleaner paper-shredder, stone- grill; answering- and faxmachine and copier and swiss knife; my motorbike, my guard-dogs, my fret-saw and my racer; my jogging- suit, my mountainbike with thriatlon-handle-bar, my high-pressure spray-gun, micro-wave, my welder; my skateboard, rollerskates, ice-skates, hometrainer, fitness-bank and pinball-machine;snooker- table, laptop, jukebox, my travel-irons, ohm-meter, jigsaw-puzzles, pliers-set, dartboard; my telescope and searchlight, my swimming- pool with 3 meter board, and my bungy jumping outfit, and my deck of cards, and magazines ...

We go step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step ... ------------------------------------------------------- Oh puckerlips now / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders) Distorted culture of these seething times... it cuts to pieces, like a blind- ing knife. Bewildered, bewildering, this sea of flowing flooding fleeting words. drowning out the voices hurt. Hurray roars the ship in the street, the state, the eager hate, the world capsizing in spite, in spate. Too late, she sinks, she sings ... the crest of the waves in the mouth, on the ridges. She reaches for infinite inanity, in vanity, where captains sqeal for new ideals. Illusions delusions disorder, disguised as law and order. Oh dear, another shape to fear. The loathing-birds, the Choke-chain rats, the tight-seared ties, their driveling runs ... in the family. Each rascal with respect for present arms ... Without mercy, in his face, eat shit he can, that gaping craterjaw off course. Of course, what else you'd think: another ship to sink. The violence the hatred the greed, a reeking, rattling disease. A raging wound of pregnant boils it is this limitless calamity. False pearlswines, waste-watchers, powersick hurdle-razers, monstrosities of misery ... All I want is to cram & stamp & stuff it, into their ugly barking barfbeaks. The news filled with their stalking heads, with banquets of voracity, their delayziness at catastrophes; the yes-but lamentations and power-quest; nodding yessholes with obscene pretence; that bloodshot sympathy; that creeping cringing villainy ... The damn result? Look; there it is: one more swine once again see that grin, as that puckerlip snout begins, and then ... Oh, will this ever come right again? Distorted culture of these seething times ... cut to pieces with a blinding knife. Bewildered, bewildering, this sea of flowing flooding fleeting words, drowning out of the voices heard. ------------------------------------------------------- Okinawa, mon amour / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders) It rained in Okinawa, long time ago. The rain sid she was the umbrella. An old Japan proverb perhaps, but not in Okinawa. It rained in Okinawa, a while ago. And the clouds, they were full of anger. Too many people got too wet, but the most in Okinawa. It rained in Okinawa, and when it rained it poored. The weathermen shrug their shoulders. They never heard of Okinawa. It still rains in Okinawa. Okinawa. ------------------------------------------------------- Dear house / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders) Dear house, Dear house, why do Dear house, why do we have Dear house, why do we have mice?

She don't wear high heals ... for the feet or the heart. She won't act weak while she's strong. She don't care if she's older than young. She don't count calories like sheep. She likes to eat whenever she likes to eat. She won't smile when she's feeling bad; to be the likeable woman who makes everybody glad. When instructions for success are written by sharks unhappiness and grief is what that living marks So many women went that route before ... Stupid competitions It's not worth living for. Stop stupid competitions ... Stop stupid competitions ... Stop stupid competitions ... Stop stupid competitions ... ------------------------------------------------------- Hickwall / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders) Hickwall in his withers, the old mule winced. Till he saw it was a hickwall, and they both began to dance. It doesn't take one to know one. It doesn't take one to know anybody. Time flew by for hours, much to her distress. Till the postman brought a letter, and proposed a game of chess. It doesn't take one to know one. It doesn't take one to know anybody. Leaves played with a windfall, the toys with him alone. Till a straydog came to see him, and they found themselves a home. It doesn't take one to know one. It doesn't take one to know anybody. I planned a long vacation. I planned a long vacation. I planned a long vacation. Well that's what I tried to do. ------------------------------------------------------- War O.D. / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders) If you sink in the mud, and you're clutching at drugs ... Well, the lower your feet, the more you'll need. Opportunity knocks like a ship on the rocks, there is no such thing as a war on drugs. Now there's some confusion about the state of illusion. Yet, one man's need means another man's greed. Opportunities rhyme like the tusks of a swine, there is no such thing as a war on crime. If you believe what you read at the bottom of the well ... Well, those leaders we'd need ... there's so much more to tell. Opportunities wait like crashing a gate, there is no such thing as a war on hate. Now there's the same old spill, with resolutions in the end. Such a waste, when you can kill time with a party instead. Opportunities score like a boxer's encore, there is no such thing as a war on war. ------------------------------------------------------- Martyr / Fear factory (Soul of a new machine) What I thought was life Came to an end Born into a world I never asked for this I've got to get away I've got to get away I've got to get away I've got to get away!

What danger in such an adorer? We dance and the music dies. We carry them all away, as we glide through their lost eyes. You lift me above myself, With the ghostly lake of your mind. Arise from your slumber in my arms. Your beauty took the strenght from me. In the meadows of heaven, we run through the stars. Romantic in our tastes. We are without excuse. We burn in our lust. We die in our eyes and drown in our arms. ------------------------------------------------------- Your river / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans) Your bloodied body is what I cling to. In powerfull rain, they laid down their heads to die. Let your dark, thirsty eyes drink deep the sights of me. It's sad that in our blindness, we gather thorns for flowers. Your river holds a feast of danger. The suffering you have had to bear. I'd die for that moment one more time. The loved one falls below your ideals. Pleasure too safely enjoyed lacks zest. The brave lick their sickening lips. Rigid, handsome and a poet. A king in his passionate castle. Where now? Feed me! Hold me! Save me! save yourself! Where now? Which way? Dear god, show me. Take your own. Struggle free! Arise! You're ruined! Stand down! your kin, piled thick around you. Save yourself! ------------------------------------------------------- The songless bird / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans) The very deepest of your wishes. Climb up high, take my hand. Tread carefully through these sickening angels. Look at your god. Look at the way he stands. The uterine murderness dies herself. Let me show you all my pain. Sardonyx lays waste to your eyes and leaves you blind. Gone is the day. They that did feed, delicately. Feed on me. The call has come, from bird and beast. Insect and serpent, and all that lives in the sea. And cities of fire, rip through me. My life a widower sad. On your knees, smell your disease. If I live you will be sorry. I have a thousand forms. Uniniured by your tongue. I'm working to ensnare you. Couple your name with cruelty. The mother of dying children. My hatred is unnumbered. It rises in my breast. We've lived with our suffering. But now ... ? ------------------------------------------------------- The snow in my hand / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans) I've seen them. So dark. Black. And yet fine. The flower they carry had once been mine. Get away of me, man of stories. Robe of lies Stay far from me. I lie to myself (it's not hurting). I need help, but not from you or your father. No! Jesus Christ. Who's my saviour? Lose myself in God's death. No! I can't bear all this pain. I had watched the snow all day. Falling. It never lets up. All day falling. I lifted my voice and wept out loud, "So this is life?". ------------------------------------------------------- The crown of sympathy / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans) See the light and feel my warm desire, run throuhg your veins like the evening sun. It will live but no eyes will see it. I'll bless your name before I die. No person in everything can shine, yet shine you did, for the world to see. All a man hath will he give for life? For life that's lost bleeds all over me. I'd fallen before but I never hurt like this. Don't leave me here to crawl through the mire. I'm without fault before the throne of God. Take from me the crown of sympathy. What do you think you'll see? What do you think there will be? Sit down! Did you see the sun? What will we become? Great ones? The mouths that dare not speak his name, behold them, raised, complete and fine. The battle for our lives is oh, so brief. Take my hand and please walk with me. When I was young the sun did burn my face. I let it's love and warmth wash over me. The melting voice of many, in the hush of night. Whispering tongues can poison my honest thruth. Come dress me with your body, and comfort me. I dreamt of a dead child in my sleep. I wear a terrible mark in my head. My clean, white red. It calls to me. I must lie down. And I want you to lay with me, in sympathy. No sad "adieus" on a balcony. For one last time, just walk with me. At the beautyfull gate of the temple, we must be saved. For deadened, icy pain, covers all the earth. ------------------------------------------------------- Turn loose the swans / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans) So little of what we observe, is the girl herself. Elaborate, scented coiffers. Adieu d'amour. Vast is the heirs ballroom. Let the rich give you presents. Heaven poors from her throat, as she sings and as she dances. The fumes of rich swine, honeyglazed and dripping, playing in the air. My mouth eager and wishing. But I return to this nightingale. Her hair all fiery red. Deep it is and wild. My weakness will be fed. Boys whipped on the alter of Diana, sometimes until they died. The cunning, wily merchant, and his four cripled horses. Tales told in warlike manner. The storyteller by the fire. While musing deeply on this sight, the songster stirred my desire. You are sweet and fine to listen to. Long tresses about your neck. Yet much is false. This mighty evening, I've seen no face. This is crushing me. My quill it aches. Turn loose the swans that drew my poets craft. I'll dwell in desolate cities. You burned my wings. I leave this ode, splendid victorious through the carnage. I wanted to tough them all. I wanted to tough them all. ------------------------------------------------------- The cry of mankind / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river) You can't expect to see him and survive You'll swallow his tongue of thorns His mouth, dripping with flies In his glorious kingdom of fire But I believe he wept I will make them all lie down Down where hope lies dying With lust, you're kicking mankind to death We live and die without hope You tramp us down in a river of death As I stand here now, my heart is black I don't want to die a lonely man This is a weary hour This is a weary hour ------------------------------------------------------- From darkest skies / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river) Take your own Sick with fever And cry out loud To God Your sorry own Will be piled upon me That I can't see My God I've cried for earth More than once But rivers still run With reddest tears Be lost in me And I'll never need to ask Who wants me? Who wants Me? Be mine tonight. The sight of your light I'll breathe in you. I'm a fool, just for you I'm in pain And I don't know why Under heavy rain From darkest skies We're in pain The two of us And I no longer know Which way to go Open wide. Let me see Your bleading heart cries for me Look straight up. Look at the sun This song's for her. Her requiem Open wide. Let me see A poisoned soul in agony Self pity strangles me I'm lashed by grief And I'm killing me Don't fear. My fire is enough For both of us ------------------------------------------------------- Black voyage / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river) Lie beside me on the grass They're fighting me for thee Mistress of beauty, thine eyes do shine Can we run forever? Does nightfall shine? Angel of mercy, carry me away Those black dogs tear at me They hunger for the life of me So lie beside me, neath the earth Lost forever from the earth Descending downwards. Is this our re-birth? Can you feel it? His cruelty glows This terrible journey, oh, that no one knows Down Around here, I am Ruler of Kings Here Everywhere I Am Heard The Voice of me Enters you Now you're mine ------------------------------------------------------- A sea to suffer in / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river) The fields of blood I'd left They mean nothing to you That war left scars on me Without you now, I'm free I'd found out what you'd done to me, girl I hate with as much passion as I love And so now, your time's come, for me girl The end. Your end. And my birth Walk away. Laughing away Remember you always, and wonder, why? I'll suffer in your sea Your ocean bleeds into me I'll fall through your endless sky But never, ever cry Wounded by your cruelty Yes, I'll suffer in your sea The fields of blood I'd left They mean nothing to you That war left scars on me Without you now, I'm free ------------------------------------------------------- Two winters only / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river) What is it you hope for, even though you are dying? And even though life is closing your tiny eyes Why did I leave them all? I should be with them to die in the same place The pain I think, should go on forever. For always But no. Not mine. Not now. My life now begins Call me what you will, but I'll die for no man, at all My limbs and the life that spreads from them Cross my path and you'll suffer like no man before, at all What I hunger for, is the trail of God For just two winters only did we live for My God. What have you become? Dear, dear lord We could have changed the world, had you been here with me Right now Held you in my arms. In my arms, my love Jesus wept so man could live forever on earth. In peace But my tears. They fall for you. Only you ------------------------------------------------------- Your shameful heaven / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river) You, who stand there now I will not tell you not to cry Without fail my purpose Will be fulfilled I can crown you a God And I'll suffer for your sins Bound so tightly, pain is everyting Far from kindness. I am your king Believe you're in Hell, but your's is Heaven Cry to die. You'll love me forever On a pale, teary cheek Tears cascade to your feet Whipped to the floor once again Laughing and lashing you away Burning pain sears through your skin But it's more you cry, for you are a sinner We suffer in love, but you love to suffer Your misery is your majesty Though your skin may burn and your wounds, bleed The only real ache is between your legs You've learned well, through your Hell Your pain was nothing. You longed for more Your shameful Heaven is full of devils Just like me.

Religion is old, for drawing the young, purity withers and dies. Never return to the ones that provided. Children draining parents of will. I hold out my hand to bloodless child, I'm taken by the one I was saving, from death By demons be driven Beckon the call With decline in mind, end not far, we're left hanging alone here. He pulls us from @nazis/katis@, shatteres our dones, leaving us crip- pled and strewn. Boiling my corpse in the blood of his children, praying for his god to prevail. Burying us with loved ones, to sleep with shelled child- ren of the sixth dimension By demons be driven Beckon the call ------------------------------------------------------- Hollow / Pantera (Vulgar display of power) What's left inside him? Don't he remember us? Can't he believe me? we seemed like brothers talked for hours last month, about what we wanna be. I sit now with his hand in mine, but I know he can't feel ... No one knows, what's done is done, it's as if he were dead I'm close with his mother, and she cries end- lessly. Lord how we miss him. At least what's remembered. It's so important to make best friends in life. but it's hard when my friend sits with blank expressions No one knows, what's done is done, it's as if he were dead He as hollow as I alone, now He as hollow as I alone. A shell of my friend just flesh and bone, there's no soul, he sees no love. I shake my fists at skies above Mad at God He as hollow as I converse, I wish he'd waken from this curse. Hear my words before it's through. I want to come in after you My best friend He as hollow as I alone ------------------------------------------------------- Peacefull day / Pennywise (About time) Listen up everyone - there's something wrong We got the answers in our sights now But somehow still we struggle along Looking for solutions in a threatening sky But we never get an answer, Just a chorus of voices wondering why We're stuck here - without a peacefull day It's a promise in the night, I'll be O.K. The superlative is telling me that help is on the way Won't someone tell me how will I make it through today Looking towards the future - and all I can see Is the next generation - looking back With a pity on me Hunting for some insight - or a means to change But do we have the will to - or will our future look the same How can I love - when you won't let me in How can I die - without reasons why How can I laugh - when I want to cry How can I go on - with nothing nowhere How will I make it ------------------------------------------------------- Waste of time / Pennywise (About time) I got a question for all you sinners Have you ever wondered is this all there is to life? A quick adventure - not much to mention A slow procession leading us to die Or is there a heaven - a distant valley A golden meadow waiting for us in the sky No one right answer - spirit seems broken Still I just can't help but wonder why Seems like a tragic waste of time Who cares what happens when you die? Life's too short to wonder why Get on with your life In towering churches - and holy temples They all conspired - to tell me how to live my life But no religion - or new @theism@ Could ever provide proof to quench my mind And now I wonder - who's sky I'm under Is there a heaven - waiting for me when I die No one right answer - spirit seems broken And still I can't help but wonder why So many questions I can't tell the difference Too many abstract thoughts now wrestle in my mind But through the darkness somewhere should be waiting A final thruth to shower me with light Their pearls of wisdom - and tales of glory They fed me nicely until I found it was all a lie No one right answer - spirit seems broken And still I can't help but wonder why ------------------------------------------------------- Perfect people / Pennywise (About time) All the perfect people - shallow and decietfull Staring back at me in TV in magazines Look so good like a box of fresh wrapped twinkies What the hell happened to me?

natural systems of biological orginazation that preceded it, that it must be the response to a kind of attractor or dwell-point that lies ahead in the temporal dimension. Persistening western religions have integrated into their theologies the notion of a kind of end of the world, and I think that a lot of psychedelical experimentation sort of confirms this intuition. It isn't going to happen according to many of the scenarios of orthodox religion, but the basic intuition, that the universe seeks closure in a kind of omegapoint of transcedence is confirmed. It's almost as though this object in hyperspace, blithering in hyperspace, throws of reflections of itself which actually retoucher into the past, eliminating this mistic and spiralling bad sanatory visionary and that out of these fragmentary glimpses of eternity, we can build a kind of map of not only the past of the universe and the evolutionary @@@@@, but a kind of map of the future. This is what shamanism has always been about. A shaman is someone who has been to the end; it's someone who knows how the world really works. And knowing how the world really works, means to have risen outside, above, beyond, the ordinary dimensions of space, time and @@@@@@@ and actually seen the @@@@@@@, stepped outside the confinements of learned culture and learned an imbedded language into the domain of, what Lichtenstein called, the unspeakable, the transcedentic presence of the other, which can be @obsectioned@ in various ways to yield systems of knowledge which can be brought back into ordinary social space for the good of the community. So, in the context of 90% of human culture, the shaman has been the agent of evolution, because the shamen learned the tecniques to go between ordinary reality and the domain of the ideas. This higher dimensional continuum that is somehow parralel to us, available to us, and yet ordinarily occluded by a cultural convention out of fear of the mystery I believe and what shamans are, are people who have been able to decondition themselves from the communitys instinctual distrust of the mystery and to go into it, to go into this bewildering higher dimension and gain knowledge, recover the jewel lost at the beginnning of time, save souls, cure, commune with the ancestors and so forth and so on. A shamanism is not a religion; it's a set of tegniques, and the principal tegnique is the use of psycedelic plants. What psycedelics do is they dissolve boundaries, and in the presence of dissolved boundaries one cannot continue to close one's eyes to the ruination of the earth, the poisoning of the seas and the consequenses of 2000 years of unchallenged dominated culture based on monotheas and hatred of nature, suppresion of the female and so forth and so on. So what shamans have to is is act as exemplares by making this cosmic journey to the domain of the Gayan ideas and then bringing them back in the @f...full orend@, to the stuggle to save the world. ------------------------------------------------------- 1959 / Sisters of mercy () Living as angel in the Place that I was born Living on air Living in heaven Giving the lie down, the line To the There's my heaven And I know Wich way the wind blows In nineteen fifty-nine Wich way the wind blows In nineteen fifty-nine And the wind blows still And the wind blows wild again For a little child can never kill this clean This way And it feels like me today Tell me Do you feel the same Isabelle?

They're gonna take you for a ride ride ------------------------------------------------------- Some kind of stranger / Sisters of mercy () And yes I believe in what we had But words got in the way And only yesterday As I was leaving Lord knows I've tried to say but I've Heard a million conversations Going where they've been before Seen the way that careful lingers Undecided at the door CHORUS And all I know for sure All I know for real Is knowing doesn't mean so much When placed against the feeling The heat inside When bodies meet When fingers touch All my words are secondhand and Useless in the face of this Rationale and rhyme and reason Pale beside a single kiss And I've heard so many things I Fail to understand at all I'd settle anytime for Unknown footsteps in the hall outside CHORUS Because the world is cruel and Promises are broken Don't try to tell me Anything don't try to tell me You'll be true to me you know the Real truth is never spoken And I know the world is cold but If you hold on tight to what you Find you might not mind too much though Even this must pass away and Memories may last for years but Names are just for souvenirs Some kind of angel let me Look into your eyes Don't give me whys and wherefores Reason or surprise I don't care for words that don't belong And I don't care what you're called Tell me later if at all I can wait a long long time Before I hear another love song Come here I think you're beautiful My door is open wide Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful beautiful Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful My door is open wide Some kind of stranger come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful beautiful Some kind of stranger come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful Some kind of stranger come inside [repeat last three verses to fade] ------------------------------------------------------- Stairway to heaven / Sisters of mercy () Theres a lady who's sure All that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven And when she gets there she knows If the stores are closed With a word she can get what she came for There's a sign on the wall But she want's to be sure Cause you know sometimes words have No meanings In a tree by the brook there's a songbird Who sings sometimes All of our thoughts are misgiven There's a feeling I get when I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen Rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand looking And it's whispered that soon If we all call the tone Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter And it makes me wonder If theres a bustle in your hedgerow Don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May-queen Yes there are two paths you can go by But in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on Your head is humming and it won't go -In case you don't know The pipers are calling you to join him Dear lady can you hear the wind blow And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll ------------------------------------------------------- Teachers / Sisters of mercy () I met a man who lost his mind in some lost place I had to find. "Follow me" the wise man said, but he walked behind. I walked into a hospital where none was sick and none was well. When at night the sisters left I could not walk at all. Some girls wander by mistake into the mess that scalpels make. Are you a teacher of the heart? We teach old hearts to break. I met a woman long ago, her the black that black can go. Are you a teacher of the heart? Soft, she answered, "No." I met a girl across the sea, her hair the gold that gold can be. Are you a teahcer of the heart? "Yes, but not for thee..." Well, I spent my hatred every place- on every work, on every face. Is my passion perfect? No. Do it once again. Oh, teachers are my lessons done? And I cannot do another one. And they laughed, and laughed, and laughed and said, "Child, are your lessons done?" Well, I was handsome and I was strong and I knew the words of every song. Did my singing please you? "No, the words you sang were wrong..." ------------------------------------------------------- Torch / Sisters of mercy () And now the torch And shadows lead Were it not so black and not so hard to see How can it help you when you don't know what you need How can anybody set you free? Would he walk upon the water If he couldn't walk away? And would you Would you carry the torch For me? And what if I gave you the key To the doors of your design... Lit the corridors of desire? Where if not so black And not so hard to see What use to you then any fire? Would he walk upon the water If he couldn't walk away? And would you Carry the torch for me? Would he walk upon the water If he couldn't walk away? And would you Would you carry the torch for me? Would you carry the torch For me? Would you carry the torch For me? Would you carry the torch For me? ------------------------------------------------------- Train / Sisters of mercy () Train [x3] Take a last decision and the cars to move it Past information Tunnel vision and the scars to prove it Everybody got a reservation Far beyond the black horizon Beyond the things you know Everybody got a destination Everybody got a place to go Take a walk downtown to where the victims go Take your shadow to the end to the very last window Everybody got friends got shot upside and over Down the line Everybody got assignations I got mine Take a one-way ticket to the chain-reaction Out a hole between the ground and sky Make a railway track for the main attraction Cross my heart and take a ride Far beyond the black horizon Beyond the things you know Everybody got a destination Everybody got a place to go ------------------------------------------------------- Wide reciever / Sisters of mercy () You say Where is my believer Waiting for the sign Those feet off the ground ... ... the skies go wild Tattered and torn your feet never bleed You say never mattered ... ... is over and the hour is ...
