Pink
Flamingos
|
| |
|
Dan
and I like Las Vegas, never seen the sea
|
|
Where
the river, where the river bed runs dry
|
|
She
closes his eyes, puts her ear to his shirt
|
|
And
listens to the whole wide earth
|
|
Lila's
ready, she look in the mirror
|
|
He
has stopped, he can't hear her
|
|
She
stops in a bar, apparently she is unhurt
|
|
And
with a little bit of change, oh feels good
|
|
She
washes her wings in the dirt
|
|
And
the bar is filled with angels cuz the world is turned upside down
|
|
All
of you've been walking on your heads
|
|
Since
the day your feet touched the ground
|
|
Any
day, any day we'll go home
|
|
Any
day, any day we'll go home, home
|
|
Well
he knocks on the door, someone show him how
|
|
And
I seen them before, I know him somehow
|
|
Why
does he stick to my fingers?
|
|
Why
does this look like his soul?
|
|
They
could just make him a heaven or hell
|
|
What
don't they?
|
|
I
don't know
|
|
What
do they want with these angels?
|
|
Why
don't they take them to Reno?
|
|
Nobody
ever comes for them
|
|
They're
all inside of the casinos
|
|
Look
at them poking like flightless birds falling from paper plates
|
|
Oh
home, heavenly earthbound
|
|
But
the spirit cannot wait to fly like the pink flamingos
|
|
To
fly like the pink flamingos, fly, fly ? |
| |
|
Altar
Boy |
| |
|
A
monk with a hard on in a lavender robe
|
|
That
scratches his thighs for the height that he strode
|
|
As
he follows a path filled with harried desire
|
|
And
mimics his footsteps and sets his prayers on fire
|
|
Glad
to have chosen that which left no choice
|
|
To
sing without loving in a solitary voice
|
|
To
observe with passion each careful denial
|
|
The
protrusions which give my life meaning for a while
|
|
|
|
Sometimes
I see you in embarrasing ways
|
|
You're
brushing your teeth with licorice seeds
|
|
Standing
too close, holding your clothes
|
|
Smiling
at God, the meaning of life grows
|
|
No,
no I'll never tell and I'll never know
|
|
What
candles you light after the show
|
|
And I'll never
tell and I'll never ask
|
|
The meaning of
life after mass |

Coat |

|
Hold
me love, I can't sleep again
|
|
Will
I have to kiss your nose?
|
|
I
wanna lay here next to him, love
|
|
I
remember walking in the rain
|
|
Rain
was falling on my hands
|
|
I
don't wanna live through that again, no
|
|
Outside
the heart it gets dark now
|
|
And
I was walking in the park now
|
|
Children
singing songs that
|
|
Will
now make all our dreams come true
|
|
I'm
in love with you
|
|
I
know it takes is love
|
|
Love
is a healing thing
|
|
When
you give everything
|
|
You're
loving the world
|
|
The
world gives you love to hold onto
|
|
Remembering,
we seldom remember love
|
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
(Somewhere)
Just give me many chances
|
|
(Far
away) I'll see you through it all
|
|
(Remember)
Just give me time to learn to crawl
|
|
|
|
In
September, when the rain comes and the wind blows
|
|
I
will see you walking in the coat of ?
|
|
If
you'll let me, I will keep you here inside the stars
|
|
I
will love the salt on my sheets
|
|
Oh
you'll love me?
|
|
(repeat
chorus)
|
|
|
|
Beat
Angels |
|
|
|
Begging
round the sun beaten streets
|
|
I
can't make me no connections
|
|
Locals
here no speak no English
|
|
Where
is my woman, well no one knows
|
|
Ah
well, some girls just have to leave in the night
|
|
While
you're fast asleep
|
|
But
I don't worry, I move in the dark
|
|
There
were lights, there were border lights
|
|
I
thought I heard that drum in the distance playing
|
|
I
saw the light, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there
|
|
|
|
I
woke in some hotel room
|
|
I
could hardly remember my name
|
|
They
were only sixteen years old
|
|
I
felt so lonely, I felt so ashamed
|
|
|
|
I
know sometimes I just have to leave
|
|
In
the night, while you're fast asleep
|
|
But
I don't worry, I move in the dark
|
|
There
were lights, there were border lights
|
|
I
thought I heard that drum in the distance playing
|
|
I
turned around, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there
|
|
|
|
Don't
you wonder where one goes wrong
|
|
Is
it somewhere in a foreign rain?
|
|
We're
sitting out the storm
|
|
Every
lamplight in town
|
|
Man
don't know when he's got it his grace
|
|
Till
beat angels come and take her away, beat angels, beat angels
|
|
Well
I crossed my heart and beat angels were there, beat angels? |
| |
|
Jolie
Jolie |
|
|
|
Jolie,
jolie, pretty little thing
|
|
All
I want you to do is just be happy
|
|
And
we went on a walk and we went on a hill
|
|
And
come back up again, you know I will
|
|
Just
to bring you the mail, to me it's just another hill
|
|
Jolie,
jolie, dancing love
|
|
All
I want you to do is just be happy, be happy
|
|
Do
you want me to fly to heaven's gate?
|
|
I
won't wait
|
|
I'll
go right away cuz to me it's just another day
|
|
Jolie,
jolie, dancing
|
|
All
I want you to do is just be happy, even happier than that
|
|
|
|
Do
you want me to stop every time I start?
|
|
When
I kiss your lips and you break my heart
|
|
But
I do this to me it's just a little kiss
|
|
It's
just a little kiss
|
|
Uh,
huh, stay right there on the "A"
|
|
Yeah
baby stay there
|
|
Oh
daddy, you can only do the best you can
|
|
I
just want you to be happy, eh
|
|
|
|
Running
From Mercy |
|
|
|
Oh
sacred place that sets my soul alive
|
|
There's
a rainbow above me that the storm clouds hide
|
|
And
kind works will never die
|
|
Cuz
the magic in kindness springs from the love, love, love
|
|
Little
acts of kindness and little words of love
|
|
Make
our earthly home heaven above
|
|
And
there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
|
|
A
fire within, no cross, no crown
|
|
Running
from mercy, hidden and coy
|
|
Swimming
upstream down oceans of joy
|
|
Die
in the arms of a natural life
|
|
Waking
our happiness drowning in light
|
|
Waking
our happiness drowning in light
|
|
Little
acts of kindness, little words of love
|
|
Make
our earthly home like heaven above
|
|
And
there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
|
|
A
fire within, no cross, no crown
|
|
This
thing would end up on the wind
|
|
Slow
to stop our ways sing (chorus)
|
|
|
|
You,
you wake up!, come on boy, come on little boy
|
|
Don't
you stop her, don't you stop her
|
|
There's
that door
|
|
I've
got that door
|
|
I
know where that door is
|
|
Just
follow me and you wake up
|
|
Come
on with me girl
|
|
Tomorrow
|
|
|
|
A
Stranger's Car |
|
|
|
Take
the train
|
|
Oh
you have run as far as you can go
|
|
They've
tied your fingers to rails of stars
|
|
Can
you hear the whistle blow?
|
|
There's
is no one here to beat out your brains
|
|
There's
no one who'll make you cry
|
|
If
your parents kill you year by year
|
|
Well
here's the time to say goodbye
|
|
And
it's oh so bad from far away
|
|
And
it's always warm inside
|
|
There's
children there
|
|
There's
children there
|
|
Who
will touch your face?
|
|
Who
will fill your pockets?
|
|
Avoid
that tangled street
|
|
And
who will count the marbles there?
|
|
And
who will save your penny ring?
|
|
Come
and meet the angels born this day
|
|
Sleep
now the night is late
|
|
Be
still until this wayward bird lets go of heaven's gate
|
|
|
|
The
Albatross |
|
|
|
There,
there is my ship
|
|
Finally
come in
|
|
I
see the mast rolling on the steps
|
|
Over
the garden wall
|
|
I
hear the sailor's call
|
|
I
see the albatross
|
|
|
|
Over
and down now I'll go home
|
|
Home
to my children I left behind
|
|
Long
ago with my mother the moon
|
|
That's
where my father is
|
|
This
broken heart is his
|
|
|
|
Archipelago
is turning, turning to strangers
|
|
Here
in the world, turning to strangers
|
|
Oh,
they hold on
|
|
Here,
here's where we live
|
|
Here
is a sea, my family
|
|
We'll
always be young as we've ever been
|
|
Death
will not part us again nearer to heaven than
|
|
10,000
ancestors who dream of me
|
|
Well
I hear you dreaming of me
|
|
Yeah
sometimes, dream of me!
|
