lullabye of mars

Every footstep touching Earth
Every footstep touching Mars
Every heartbeat a rebirth
Every face turned to the stars
Every flower gives a seed
On the planet of our birth
In the time of greatest need
Daughter Mars and Mother Earth

Oh earth movers, world shakers
Human beings, heartbreakers
Master builders, world forsakers
Spread your wings and fly
To a new home in the sky

Every bird that finds her home
Without a map, without a mark
Every fish that swims upstream
Every creature on the ark
Mother nature has a plan
For every child of her womb
And she'll send us on our way
As she sent us to the moon

Oh earth movers...

Every flag that's ever flown
Every church with open doors
Leave the past and find the future
Bless the world and make it yours
Everything you leave behind
For something good and new
Every constitution signed
Take the best of us with you

Oh earth movers...

Every person on the Earth
Gazing up at the red star
Will see you looking back
On the blue world where we are
So make a wish upon that star
Whether red or blue
For peace on Earth and Mars
Hope for me and you

Oh earth movers...

We came from Africa
We went to Asia
We went to Australia
We came from Africa...

i can't go back

Sometimes love bends
Until it breaks
I lose a friend
I still can't replace
It feels so right
Until we fall from grace
And I watch the bridge
Go up in flames

When the train derails
I just keep walking down the track
But you should know
I'm only going forward
'cos I can't go back
I can't go back

You're as unbending
As the old oak tree
And there's too much too much
Of the willow in me
And you have all of the things
That I lack
But love is gone
And never coming back

I'm moving on
I have to face the facts
But you should know
I'm only going forward
'cos I can't go back
I can't go back

Yes I'm alive
I'm intact
And I'll be fine
If I can laugh
Even with this pain
Like a heart attack
From just how much
I still want you back

Sometimes love ends
And leaves no trace
Sometimes I leave an open door
Just in case
You change your mind
Before the final act
Pick up the phone
And call me back

When the train derails
I just keep walking down the track
But you should know
I'm only going forward
'cos I can't go back
I can't go back

i would

Who'd want to know the truth / who'd ever really want to know
Well I would / I would
Who'd want to let the world in / batter their naked soul
Well I would / I would

Who'd want to be with you / to see how far we could go
Who'd want to give everything / to fly that high or fall that low
Who'd want to take the chance / to live the dream / to really know
How it really feels
Well I would

Who'd want to know / If you only wanted me for the things I do
Well I would / I would
Who'd want to know / If you could never really love me - or if you could
Well I would / I would

Who'd want to take what you have to give / if you might walk away
Who'd want to fly that high / or fall that low if you don't stay
Who'd want to try that hard / to see how it feels / to feel that way
How it really feels
Well I would

'Cause I want to go / as far as I can go
I want to know / what's in your sweet dreams
Who really knows you / Who really gets you
Who would be waiting on their knees

Who'd want to be with you / to see how far we could go
Who'd want to give everything / to fly that high or fall that low
Who'd want to take the chance / to live the dream / to really know
How it really feels
Well I would
Well I would

Is just to ask you
Come be my relation
Come as a friend
Maybe a lover
Come into the family
Come as yourself

Kindly come this way
Please stay
All I wanted to say

Here with my lovers
Here with my family
Here as myself

Kindly come this way

Trying to live the perfect day
I – I would go out of my way for you
Trying to live the perfect day

free like me

I want to meet you in the port of Amsterdam
Or any city open to the sea
I want to meet you with my wings spread in triumph
Overshadowing the timid girl I used to be

I will see you with eyes open
I will know you for a while
You'll have changed as much as I'm changing
We'll catch up and say goodbye

I want to meet in New York City
I will kiss you by the bridge in Central Park
We will talk about the music we've been listening to lately
Then we'll practice our own orchestral manoeuvres in the dark

I will see you with eyes open
I will know you for a while
You're the man I've loved since I met you
We'll catch up then say goodbye

Goodbye love until it comes again
Goodbye friend / Goodbye love
Goodbye love until we meet again
Goodbye friend / Goodbye love

I want to meet you in Helsinki
I want to kiss you in Beijing
I want to dive down to black coral reefs in New Zealand
And never ever wear a wedding ring

I will see you with eyes open
I will know you for a while
You'll have grown as much as I'm growing
And still be open as a child

Goodbye love until it comes again
Goodbye friend / Goodbye love
Goodbye love until we meet again
Goodbye friend / Goodbye love

I will walk alone
down cobbled streets in rural towns
in Ireland and Italy
and kiss the ones I like
I will sit in warm cafes
drink chocolat mit schlag ober
and amuse myself pretending I am Viennese
I will send you postcards soon
From everywhere I want to go
And not always say 'wishing you were here'
unless I think you'd like to be
and if you would perhaps you will
yes if you would I hope you will
go with me
sometimes
if you're free—like me

comet goddess

A new story
A new friend
I will follow this to the end
If there is an end
Watching the sky to see what appears
Like Halley's comet
That only happens once in years

I see you rise
I touch the joy as it flies

Mm hmm
Oh – I feel the need to praise you
Praises to unchain you
Mm hmm – I just want to raise you

On wings of delight
Set fire to the night
And watch you fly free
Like the comet goddess
You were always meant to be
Fly free
Like the comet goddess
You were always meant to be

Sometimes I watch you from afar
Walking the trail of a falling star
Letting go of your fear
And if I didn't love you
Would I still be standing here

Watching you rise
Touching the joy as it flies

Mm hmm
Oh – I feel the need to praise you
Praises to unchain you
Mm hmm – I just want to raise you

On wings of delight
Set fire to the night
And watch you fly free
Like the comet goddess
You were always meant to be
Fly free
Like the comet goddess
You were always meant to be
Fly free…

hey rose

Hey Rose, it's all briars
This wall I had to climb you made yourself
And with every thorn I bled
And with the aching in my head
I said to myself
I think that I will go love someone else
I think that I will go love someone else

You seemed to think it was your birthright
To sleep a thousand years
Waiting for someone to come along and love you
For someone to wipe away your tears

Well let me tell you something about living
'Cause you seem to find it hard to understand
Taking poison won't make you a hero
Taking poison won't make you any friends

Hey Rose, it's all briars
This wall I had to climb you made yourself
And with every thorn I bled
And with the aching in my head
I said to myself
I think that I will go love someone else
I think that I will go love someone else

This one's got a price tag
And this one's got a plan
And this one's dedicated to an old girlfriend

You need somebody
No matter what you do or say
You need somebody
To give it all away

Hey Rose, you're on fire
But you're smiling through your tears
And when you leave the past behind
All the echoes in your mind
Will fade to grey
Hey Rose, you'll just give it all away
Oh Rose, you'll just give it all away

(c) 2002 S. Miria Jo

home

When you're blown open
And the sky is falling
Your love is calling and calling you home
Home

When you're blown open
Your soul flies out
Of your wide open mouth
You're calling and calling and calling and calling home
Home

When your blood is shaking through your veins
And you doubt the love of your greatest friends
Behind your eyes there's just an empty space
Home – where is home
Oh home – where is home

Place your hands
Over your heart
Where the wind blows through
Where you're torn apart
And go home

Make a warm nest
A small bed
Make a soft place
For your heart and your head
When this is all that there is my friend
This is home

This is right / And this is all that there is
Is it my right / To make a wish
May I sleep by your side / And wake up to your kiss
I recognize / This happiness
This is home
Feels like home to me

When there's nothing left until you start again
The morning will wait until you can begin
Wait until you're at home in your skin
Home – where is home
Oh home – where is home

When you're blown open
And the sky is falling
Your love is calling and calling you home
Home

citizen of the world

Everyone is beautiful today
I'm in love with the world
With every cell of everyone
Near and far, old and young

Frightened men behind closed doors
They seek the resolution of a thousand wars
Some people say
They will pledge allegiance anyway
But I become a citizen of the world
Oh, I become a citizen of the world

How they promised – to keep us loyal –
"We will never fight a war upon American soil"
How they scheme
To protect the American dream
But I dreamed of being in the world
I dream of our being in the world

Oh, a state of grace
In which there is no hiding place
All our shame erased, our fears released
Part god and part devil, part animal, part angel,
Acceptable in our humanity
Accepting that there is no enemy

In prison cells, in army camps
Broken hearts bear witness to our failed attempts
Some people say
We are still evolving anyway
One day we will be citizens of the world
One day we will be citizens of the world

We rise to fall
We fall to rise
We seek salvation in each other's eyes
And people say
I know you well and love you anyway
And I will say the same about the world
Oh, I will say the same to the world

Everyone is beautiful today
Everyone is beautiful today
Everyone is beautiful today…

i won't be there

I said there's no separation
Between cells, between souls
You said everyone's alone
There's no filling up an empty hole

I believed in everything I told you
Because I was telling it to you
Now it seems like there's a cave in which you're disappearing
And I don't know how to reach you

I won't fight you this time
No one can make you a believer
And I guess you were right
'Cause I won't be there

We used to be together in a constant conversation
But you always said that talk is cheap
I've given up completely on relationship discussions
I'm just praying still waters run deep

But I believed in everything I told you
So now I'll be talking to myself
About this lesson I seem to be learning
Help doesn't help

I won't fight you this time
No one can make you a believer
And I guess you were right
'Cause I won't be there

I don't have the right
I don't even know the way there
And I don't want to block your light
I just wish that you could be here
I really wish that you could be here

I said we'll be friends forever
And you said everybody leaves
I said I know but they always come back
Everybody heals / Everybody grieves

I believed in everything in everything I told you
I still believe
So now I'll take my own advice
And give you time and room to breathe

I won't fight you this time
No one can make you a believer
And I guess you were right
'Cause I won't be there

hit & run

I want to know / why won't you drink me dry
I'm burning with love / you're bleeding inside
I see a hole / and I want to rush in
I'm aching to fill it if we could only begin
But you don't trust me or maybe you don't trust love
And I ask you once again / What are you afraid of

I could be / a hit and run
and never know / and never look back
You could be / all that I need
and never know / and never look back
I could be / anything
and never know / and never look back

Am I ruled / by my heart or my head
Whose soul is my strength
Who will I love until I'm dead
Don't be fooled / by the faces in the mirror
Those demons are angels / It's their strength that we fear
To save your soul / I'd go to hell and back
And get you out of there / And never turn back

'cause I could be / a hit and run
and never know / and never look back
You could be / all that I need
and never know / and never look back
I could be / anything
and never know / and never look back

Now I'm standing at the gates / with my song in my throat
Crying out to heaven / And missing every note
I see you standing there / In your guilt and your love
And I ask you once again / What are you afraid of
I could be / a hit and run
and never know / and never look back
You could be / all that I need
and never know / and never look back
I could be / anything
and never know / and never look back

the quiet one in the corner

You ask if I love you
And I try to prove it
You ask me to pick what I want
And I try to choose it
You put me through everything
And I go through it
But you—you asked for my silence
And I cannot do it

I cannot be the quiet one in the corner
I cannot be a good listener right now
Somehow this identity
Has grown much too small for me
And I want my moment now

And I ask when
And you ask how
And I say I don't know and I don't care
I'll get there somehow
I'm not thinking anymore of the future
I'm not living in the past
I'm going through changes
I don't know if this will last

But I cannot be the quiet one in the corner
I cannot be afraid to be too loud
I cannot be waiting for the right time
I want my moment now

Something changed
Something went too far
The balance shifts
And I see how we are
And I want my moment—I want my moment now

And everyday I will ask for it
If that counts as a plan
Then I guess my mind is made up
And I guess that's who I am
You can't silence me with blackmail
Everybody knows what I've done
And every day I'll go where I'm going
But today I've just begun

I cannot be the quiet one in the corner
I cannot hold the silence of a vow
I cannot be a good girl in her right mind
I want my moment now

I cannot be the quiet one in the corner
I cannot be a good listener right now
Somehow this identity
Has grown much too small for me
And I want my moment now

I want my moment now

once & future lover

If I bought you a ribbon
Would you take it from me
Tie it 'round my wrist

As a kind of reminder
I forget to remember
All the things that I need to exist

I remember our first kiss
Don't need a reminder
But I'm the kind of girl who needs to
Leave the past behind her

And someday I'll lean out
The window of your car
And I'll sing to the stars a kind of
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

When I'm with you, my soul needs no cover
My once and future lover

In my religion
You led and I followed
Kept my wagon hitched to your star

It's my intuition
My friends and relations
Say I always push it too far

You are a witness
To all my sound and fury
I need your forgiveness
Please tell me another story

I know
I could have been kinder
But I'm the kind of girl who needs to
Leave the past behind her

But someday I'll lean out
The window of your car
And I'll sing to the stars a kind of
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

When I'm with you, my soul needs no cover
My once and future lover

little things

It's the little things that get you
Like the fear of being burned
When the gifts you've freely given
Turn out to have been returned
And exchanged for something cheaper
Or worse for something fine
That's when you start looking harder
At what's yours and what is mine

Are you afraid to be forgiven
Afraid to comprehend
All that you have done
To your lovers and your friends
Would you rather live in ignorance
Not knowing what's been done
Can you forgive anybody
Can you even forgive one
Forgive one - one sin - that's been done

It's the little things that save you
Like a poem from a friend
Like a homemade batch of cookies
Like a story with no end
That may begin in sorrow
And may not be told in rhyme
It may only have one season
Yet be with you for all time

Are you afraid to be forgotten
Afraid of letting go
Of anyone you've ever loved
Or anyone you've known
Would you rather live unchanging
Nothing new under your sun
Can you forget anybody
Can you even forget one
Forget one - one person - you have known

It's the little things that last you
Like a habit of pretending
And innocence is much too great a thing
To ever be unending
And promises are seldom worth
The time they take to say
The greatest joys we'll ever know
Rarely come to stay

Are you afraid to be forsaken
Afraid to be alone
With nothing but the little things
You've saved inside your soul
Remember all that lives will live again
And nothing loved is gone
Can you let go of each moment
And have faith in the next one
Have faith in one - more little thing - that's just begun

you are the angel

She's crying when you hold her
And you think you understand
But she still forgets you love her
When you're not there to hold her hand

You can only change the moment
You can never be her man

To her you are the angel
Who watches when she sleeps
To her you are the angel
Who guides her through these streets
To her you are the angel
To her you're just an angel

You try to keep it simple
Help her out behind the scenes
She is starstruck by the glamour
You don't tell her what it means

You don't want to burst her bubble
The girl should have her dreams

To her you are the angel
That watches when she sleeps
To her you are the angel
That guides her through these streets
To her you are the angel
To her you're just an angel

When she's heavy with her sadness
And it's more than she can bear
You offer up your vision
Of a world that you could share

But she will not believe you
She can't see you standing there

To her you are the angel
Who watches when she sleeps
To her you are the angel
Who guides her through these streets
To her you are the angel
To her you're just an angel

no distance

I'm flying my lover
from this string in my heart
And he says anchor me anchor me
Before I go too far
And I say hang on baby
You don’t yet know who you are

Your soul is already at sea
As you follow your dream to sail
If my spirit is already singing
Why am I so afraid to fail
And he says hang on baby
You're halfway there

Stop looking for a cure / All you need is to be sure
There is no distance between us
There is nothing more / This is what we’re here for
There is no distance between us

You’re never so far I can’t feel
Your tug at my heart
And I want your freedom as much
As you want me to be a star
So hang on baby
We don’t yet know who we are

Stop looking for a cure / All you need is to be sure
There is no distance between us
There is nothing more / This is what we’re here for
There is no distance between us

Ah
There is no distance between us
Ah
There is no distance between us

Pop Star

I'm feeling so marketable today
I'm feeling sexy in a commercial kind of way
I'm feeling pretty – on the outside
Inside I'm feeling cool and in control
I got mad style, I got no soul
Guess I'm on my way

Lights of the city shining in my eyes
I shine too with my designer thighs
I may be a woman but I look like a boy

Take me out / I'm ready for the big time
Show me how / I'm gonna gonna get mine
I don't care if you care what I have to say
'Cos I'm feeling so damn marketable today

I got Britney’s butt and Christina's nose
I got some moves just like J. Lo's
I'm an original ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Sh-sh-sh-sh-shake my ass and lick my lips
And tell you lies with my lying hips
Uh huh, I’m a pop star

Take me out / I'm ready for the big time
Show me how / I'm gonna gonna get mine
I don't care if you care what I have to say
Take me out / I'm ready for the big time
Discover me / I’m gonna be a gold-mine
I don't care if you care what I have to say
'Cos I'm feeling so damn marketable today

I know this guy / He's gonna get me signed
He’s gonna get me high / and I / don’t even have to rock him
Take me out / I'm ready for the big time
Show me how / I'm gonna gonna get mine
I don't care if you care what I have to say
'Cos I'm feeling so damn marketable today

everything that's sweet

There's something very different about you
You're not like anyone I've ever known
Beautiful and smart and real
I'm mesmerized as you reveal
The shining facets of a complex soul

I make silly jokes just to hear your laughter
I listened when you said that you'd been burned
Here is what I've learned so far
What a loving soul you are
But you're not sure that you're loved in return

So I know you don't know how much I am drawn to you
How hard it is to turn my eyes away
How I find myself breathing in the air where you've been
Drinking in your scent, spinning in your wake

And I feel as helpless as the flower
Trying to seduce the bee
Pouring out her essence in an hour
Hoping to be seen
Offering up everything that's sweet

So I will bring you chocolate and flowers
And only tell you that's what friends are for
And ask about your favorite books
And send you secret loving looks
And be there for you if I can and never ask for more

I thought I was immune to fascination
I'd be happy just to know you as a friend
Some people know instinctively
When to let go of a fantasy
But I'll have to leave it up to you
To say how this will end

'Cause I feel as helpless as the flower
Trying to seduce the bee
Pouring out her essence in an hour
Hoping to be seen
Offering up everything that's sweet

[ For now I know I have to be discreet
But I want to give you everything that's sweet ]

break your heart

My unshakeable calm has been shaken
My unbreakable heart is breaking
I can't follow the path that I'm taking
It's taken me over
Love

I am bruised where I didn't know I had skin
Glassy and glaring my eyes can't see in
I am shattered
Before us the ice is too thin
To skate over
Love

Love the world
Oh
Break your heart
For love
Love the world
All this
Break your heart
Break your heart

Into the labyrinth clutching the skein
I am driven to riddle the reason for pain
Bedeviled ensorcelled enraptured insane
Again over
Love

Love the world
Oh
Break your heart
For love
Love the world
All this
Break your heart
Break your heart

She
Not afraid to be lonely
She
Not afraid to be dead
See her
Spinning away from the world
Tell her
To hate it instead
Take it to bed

Kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick

No I say no I say nothing and no
I am nothing and nothing can hurt me now go
To the everyday everything
Everyone knows I am hiding from

Love the world
Oh
Break your heart
For love
Love the world
All this
Break your heart
Break your heart

Love the world
Oh
Break your heart
For love
Love the world
All this
Break your heart
Break your heart

tiny windows

They're always upset by other's tragedies
Open to seeing what the other sees
Fragile sense of identity
Reaching out, getting burned

She's sensitive and delicate and a danger to herself
He's self-aware, enlightened and a hazard to his health
They're socially (un)conscious and avoiding worldly wealth
Looking out through tiny windows at the world

They're poetry in motion but you wouldn't say athletic
Dreaming in the dreamy dream post-Raphaelite aesthetic
Extending to the world a personality prosthetic
Protesting all injustice in the world

They're just two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
Two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world

They're totally consumed by all the tragic comic endings
In the corner back apartment all the borrowings and lendings
And the seamy sad departures and the seamy sad befriendings
And the wars in every corner of the world

They're just two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
Two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world

She cares / He tries / See the world / Through their eyes

She's sensitive and delicate and a danger to herself
He's self-aware, enlightened and a hazard to his health
They're socially (un)conscious and avoiding worldly wealth
Looking out through tiny windows at the world

They're just two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
Two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world

They're not religious and they're not optimistic
They're just ordinary people with a lot of missed appointments
And they're too sentimental and they're hopelessly romantic
Maybe a little troubled and they've underdressed for winter
Keeping options open and practicing deep breathing
Just a little angry and a little introverted
They're just two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
Just two people in the world

i always wonder

I always wonder
What you're thinking
And feeling inside
I always wonder
What it might be like
To love you my whole life

I always wonder
How a true love would feel
Deep down in my soul
I always wonder
If I can go the distance
And now I really want to know

Cause I feel doors opening
And dams breaking
And the waters pulling me under
And if I didn't tell you now
And didn't try to find out how
To love you

I'd always wonder

I always wonder
What makes people different
And how are we the same
I always wonder
Why people have to suffer
And if that can be changed

How in the world
Do two souls come together
And how can I resist
A chance to experience
A love that lasts forever
I have to take the risk

Cause I feel doors opening
And dams breaking
And the waters pulling me under
And if I didn't tell you now
And didn't try to find out how
To love you

I'd always wonder

I always wanted
To really open my heart
I always thought
That's what life is for
I only want EVERYTHING
I only want to love you MORE

'Cause I feel love taking me,
My heart breaking – open
With a sound like thunder

Doors opening all over the world
My defenses torn asunder

Dams breaking, water rushing in
And pulling me under

If I didn't tell you now
And didn't try to find out how
To love you

I'd always wonder
I'd always wonder
I'd always wonder

under the surface

Under the water the waves churn the sand/Yet the surface remains undisturbed
Trying to read you in maps made of parchment/Pages marked or unturned

I sit at this table with the tools of my trade/commit observation to verse
If I've been here before I've forgotten the way/No hope yet of charting a course

To bring me closer to you/If that's what you want me to do
May this compass and sextant and evening star/Show me a way to your truth
Under the surface/Under the surface

These may be dangerous waters or deep/But a careful soul might get through
Patiently picking a passage to share/That might bring me closer to you

I think I'll try climbing the mast to the top/Where I might get a much
clearer view of the rocks
Oh I want to dive – into your ocean/There's not much that I wouldn't do

To bring me closer to you/If that's what you want me to do
May this compass and sextant and evening star/Show me a way to your truth
Under the surface/Under the surface

Five fathoms deep/I dive down
I can't sleep/I may drown
Would it be/too strange
If we/had a sea-change

I want to go back to the moment we had / When I sang you that song on the beach
We just scratched the surface / And then you were gone like the treasure I couldn't reach

I long to be with you as much as I long / For the bracing embrace of the sea
And diving deep under the surface to taste / Her salt and honey

Endlessly rocking me (Out of the cradle)
Endlessly taking me

Under the surface (Rocking me…)
Under the surface (Taking me)

Under the surface (Poetry)
Under the surface (Taking me)

Under the surface (Patiently)
Under the surface (Taking me)

Under the surface (Rocking me…)
Under the surface (Taking me)

Under the surface
Under the surface

don't hold your breath

I've got needs and you don't have to meet 'em
But wouldn't it be sweet if you did
I need a love to shine shine a light on
A home and a dog and a kid

I've got friends and you don't have to meet 'em
But wouldn't it be nice if you did
We'd stay up all night
With the right kinda people
The kind who are kind and you fit

in

These uncertain times
I need a friend to talk me through
The maze of my own mind when the pain hits
She says you'll get through

Don't hold your breath waiting for him
Don't hold your breath waiting for me
Don't hold your breath waiting for all you need
Don't hold your breath waiting for love
Don't hold your breath waiting for peace
Don't hold your breath you've got to breathe
Just breathe

I've got folks and you don't have to meet 'em
You'd get me more if you did
And yours are fine if you stand stand a way back
We'll smile and nod and show off the kid

in

These uncertain times
I need a love to get me through
I don't need a lot but I think you need me
And I need you

(She says)

Don't hold your breath waiting for him
Don't hold your breath waiting for me
Don't hold your breath waiting for all you need
Don't hold your breath waiting for love
Don't hold your breath waiting for peace
Don't hold your breath you've got to breathe
Just breathe

I've got a god and you don't have to see 'im
Can't say I ever did
I have these dreams and I see it coming
But I won't die, not before I live

in

These uncertain times
I need a friend to watch my back
And take me to higher ground
When the waters hit and we step back

(She says)

Don't hold your breath waiting for him
Don't hold your breath waiting for me
Don't hold your breath waiting for all you need
Don't hold your breath waiting for love
Don't hold your breath waiting for peace
Don't hold your breath you've got to breathe
Just breathe

you are the angel (heathen version)

She was taken by a vision
She was only seventeen
They said they saw her flying
Don't know why it made them mean

Black or white, and good or evil
There is something in between

To her you are the angel
That watches when she sleeps
To her you are the angel
That guides her through these streets
To her you are the angel
To her you are the angel

They just need to keep it simple
Keep us safe from the unknown
Horns and wings and lightning striking
Must be God upon his throne

"Save us from a womb of darkness"
Pray you only take your own

To them you are the devil
And everything they fear
To them you are the devil
They've been fighting you for years
To them you are the devil
To them you are the devil

Between the mud and Mary
Where the veil begins to tear
Drink the cup and hear her wisdom
And take some comfort there

But they will not believe her
They can't see you standing there

To her you are the angel
That watches when she sleeps
To her you are the angel
That guides her through these streets
To her you are the angel
To her you are the angel

3 days out of 7

Where you go / I want to follow
Next to this / Everything feels hollow
What you wanna give / I will take it
And I will give my heart / Even if you break it

I'd rather fight with you / 3 days out of 7
Than make love every day / With someone else
I'd rather kiss you / 3 days out of 7
Than make love every day / With someone else

Do do do..

Is it healthy / All this shake and shiver
I don't wanna analyze / the kick that you deliver
Can we make it / Will we stay together
I can't ride a hurricane / or predict the weather

I'd rather fight with you / 3 days out of 7
Than make love every day / With someone else
I'd rather kiss you / 3 days out of 7
Pull out all the stops / Ring ALL the bells….

Do do do..

I think that you might be / genetically enhanced
Got my excuses / for living in this trance
Whatever's left of me / I'll scrape it off the ground
Keep it in a box / For when you come around

I'd rather fight with you / 3 days out of 7
Than make love every day / With someone else
I'd rather kiss you / 3 days out of 7
Than make love every day / With someone else

I'd rather fight with you / 3 days out of 7
7 out of 7 you ring my bells…

king of america

So you are the ugly American
Yes, I think we have seen you before
You're the one with the crucifix nailed to the wall
And the daughter you think is a whore
You could search for a year on a map of the world
And never find Jerusalem
And you say if English was good enough for Jesus
By God, it's good enough for them

So cheer for the war, knowing God's on our side
Let's give 'em what for
Bring the dead home with pride
They made you a King
They gave up their lives

So you are the media moguls
Yes, I think we have seen you before
It's a brave new world order we've entered
Since 1984
You won't hear this song on the radio
You won't hear the news on the news
When they televise the revolution
It will be on the day that they lose

So cheer for the war
Knowing God's on our side
Let's give 'em what for
Bring the dead home with pride
We've seen this before
We've heard all your lies

So you are the righteous anointed
Yes, I think we have seen you before
And you have the right to cast the first stone
At the leper, the traitor, the whore
You could search the whole Bible for words that advise you
To judge not unless you be judged
But you've got the 'King George' translation
And it seems like you're holding a grudge

So cheer for the war
Knowing God's on our side
Let's give 'em what for
Bring the dead home with pride
We've seen this before
We know how they died

Was your daddy too cruel
Was your mommy uptight
Were you disappointed
On your wedding night
Or did God really tell you
To hasten the end of all things
Send all the Christians to Heaven
What does that make you
King of Kings?

So cheer for the war
Knowing God's on our side
Let's give 'em what for
Bring the dead home with pride
All our daughters and sons
Who fought for our side
This is your holy war
And our children who died

So cheer for the war
