The case was pulled from under the bed She made a call to a sympathetic friend And made arrangements The door was closed there was a note I couldnt be bothered Maybe Ill choke No more engagements
With where have you beens And faraway frowns Trying to be good By not being round And here in the bar The piano mans found Another nail for my heart
That stupid old bug That kills only love I want to be good Is that not enough
So play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart Then play me that song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart
I had excuses those little boy lies That she computed by watching my eyes And told me firmly
She couldnt stand it Im bad on her heart She dropped her makeup and I found the bar Now it concerns me
I've had a bad time Now love is resigned Ive been such a fool Ive loved and goodbyed
So here in the bar The piano mans found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar The piano mans found Another nail for my heart
Hold that chrysalis in your palm, see it split and change It won't do you any harm, it's just trying to rearrange It was born to live a day, now it flies up from your hand It's beautiful, it's the one they call your ever-loving man
Wolves have carried your babies away, oh your kids drip from their teeth The nights are long and the day is bitter cold beyond belief You spread yourself like a penitent upon the mad vibrating sand And through your teeth arrange to meet your midnight man
Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see Everybody wanna be your midnight man
Don't disturb me as I sleep, treat me gently when I wake Don't disturb me when I sleep even though your body aches Even though your body aches to serve at his command Between the wars she still adores her ever-loving man
Close your eyes, sleep in him, dream of your lost sons and daughters Me, I'll raise up the dorsal fin, and glide up and down the waters I'll glide up and down the waters, then I'll walk upon the land And call them out, the ones who doubt your midnight man
Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see Everybody wants to be your midnight man
It's early in the morning and I don't know what to do It's early in the morning and I can't believe it's true It's early in the morning and it's happening again I called you once, I called you twice, ain't I your midnight man?
Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see Everybody wants to be your midnight man
Everybody's coming round Everybody's coming round Everybody's coming round To be your midnight man To be your midnight man
There aint no reason things are this way. Its how they always been and they intend to stay. I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday. Preachers on the podium speakin of saints in seance, Prophets on the sidewalk beggin for change, Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name. I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same, A window and a pigeon with a broken wing, You can spend your whole life workin for something Just to have it taken away. People walk around pushing back their debts, Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets, Talking bout nothing, not thinking bout death, Every little heartbeat, every little breath. People walk a tight rope on a razors edge Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons. It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen Or a thought or a word or a sentence.
There Ain't no reason things are this way. It's how they always been and they intend to stay I dont know why I say the things I say, but I say them anyway. But love will come set me free Love will come set me free,I do believe Love will come set me free, I know it will Love will come set me free, yes.
Prison walls still standing tall, Some things never change at all. Keep on buildin prisons, gonna fill them all, Keep on buildin bombs, gonna drop them all. Working your fingers bear to the bone, Breaking your back, make you sell your soul. Like a lung thats filled with coal, suffocatin slow. The wind blows wild and I may move, The politicians lie and I am not fooled. You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth. The air on my skin and the world under my toes, Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes, Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.
Love will come set me free Love will come set me free, I do believe Love will come set me free, I know it will Love will come set me free, yes.
There ain't no reason things are this way Its how they always been and they intend to stay I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
Why don't you come out the guards have gone they forgot their purpose and shuffled their lungs have come feel the sun
Why don't you come out the dogs lie sleeping their lips they twitch with the chills in their dreams they come feel the sun
Why don't you come out and exact your revenge and the liers and wasters that call themselves friends for to forgive is overrated as they need but your affiance so come feel the sun
Why don't you come out we are missing your wife and babies that just want to hold you so come feel the sun touch your fears make everything the same as it was.
We lived in a time and a world of our own Making up the rules as we went along Just one coat between us and we never felt cold We were never gonna get old
Playing cards 'till the sun came up, rollin' dice Down to the club and listen to the blues all night Girls out on the corner get lonely now and then We'd never be that free again
It's been a long time since we laughed together It's been a long time since we cried Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time
Workin' just enough to pay the rent Money got made, baby, money got spent Sleeping when we had nothin' left to do Under the boardwalk and up on the roof
We never quite fit, baby, we never played the game Came out explodin' like a runaway train Up all night talkin' about dreams of better days Ain't it funny how some things don't change?
It's been a long time since we laughed together It's been a long time since we cried Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time
We lived in a time and a world of our own Making up the rules as we went along Just one coat between us and we never felt cold We were never gonna get old
It's been a long time since we laughed together It's been a long time since we cried Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time
I was dressed for success But success, it never comes And I'm the only one who laughs At your jokes when they are so bad And you're jokes are always bad But they're not as bad as this Chorus:
Come join us in a prayer We'll be waiting, waiting where Everything's ending here And all the sterile striking it Defends an empty dock you cast away And rain upon your forehead Where the mist's for hire If it's just too clear Let's spend our last 1/4 stance randomly Go down to the outlet once again Painted portrait of minions and slaves Crotch mavens and one night plays Are they the only ones who laugh? At the jokes when they are so bad And the jokes are always bad But they're not as bad as this
(chorus)
And all the spanish candles unsold Have gone away to this And a "run-on piece of mount on" Trembles, shivers runs down the freeway I guess she spent her last quarter randomly I guess a guess is the best I'll do
Slow down, Lie down, Remember it's just you and me. Don't sell out, bow out, Remember how this used to be.
I just want you closer, Is that alright? Baby let's get closer tonight
[chorus:] Grant my last request, And just let me hold you. Don't shrug your shoulders, Lay down beside me. Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere, But one last time just go there, Lay down beside me
Oh, I've found, that I'm bound To wander down that one way road. And I realise all about your lies But I'm no wiser than the fool I was before.
I just want you closer, Is that alright? Baby let's get closer tonight
[chorus]
Oh, baby, baby, baby, Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?
I never tought that I could be so bold, to even say these toughts aloud. I see you with him, and your eyes just shine, while he stands tall and walking proud.
That look you give that guy, I wanna see... Looking right at me. If I could be that guy, instead of me... I'd never let you down.
It always seems like you're going somewhere, better than you've been before. When I go to sleep, and I dream all night, of you knocking on my door.
That look you give that guy, I wanna see... Looking right at me. If I could be that guy, instead of me... I'd be all I can be. I'd be all I can be.
I'm nothing like what I'd like to be I'm nothing much, I know it's true. I'd like to stand in a better view And my chances are so few
That look you give that guy, I wanna see... Looking right at me. If I could be that guy, instead of me... I'd give you all I got.
I never tought that I could be so bold, to even say these toughts aloud. But if let's say, it won't work out. You know where I can be found.
That look you give that guy, I wanna see... Looking right at me.
Somebody will know someday Will know why you walked out of me Somebody will know someday Will know why you walked out of me But nobody will know someday Nobody will know that I will never agree
So many will see someday Will see someday the tears that fills your eyes So many will see someday the tears that fills your eyes But nobody will see me when I get reconciled
One misty morning I'm gonna write your name in the sky One misty morning I'm gonna write your name in the sky And after that babe I run away at myself and cry
Maybe there comes a day that you come walking up to me Maybe there comes a day That you come walking up to me That day you know that I will be there
Don't you know that I still love you Can't you see I'm hiding myself In my lonely place, in my lonely place
Oh oh, Let me be now Hmm hmm, let me because I want to be free now Oh oh, free to see, yeah well Want to walk away, oh oh Let me feel my feet Let me be, free
Time and time and time we see these Acts against humanity, well, Each for each and each will be then Shed blood for what they each believe, well On and on and on we go well, Some will you see and, some won't be True for you and truth will lead you To a sense of, well now, peace
Let me be now Hmm hmm, let me because I want to be free now, Oh oh, free to see, yeah well Want to walk away, oh oh Let me feel my feet Let me be, free
Time and time and time we see these Acts against humanity, well Each for each and each will be then Shed blood for what they each believe, well On and on and on we go well Some will you see and, some won't be True for you and truth will lead you To a sense of,well now, peace
Let me be now
Hmm hmm, let me because I want to be free now Oh oh, free to see, yeah well Want to walk away, oh oh Let me feel my feet Let me be, free
(Solo)
Wanna be wanna see would you let me go Let me be now, hmm hmm, let me be Wanna be wanna see would you let me go Let me be now, hmm hmm, let me be-cause I wanna be free Oh, i wanna be free Yeah I said, I said, I said, I said Free free now, free to see Oh, cos I, wanna be free

Monday is shining You know 'em Tuesday's rain Well, the days go by me Like a southbound train Yes, It's funny thinking You will never call my name Here comes long lonely Here comes the blues Well, the world's the same old comedy You know my time is cold Nothing new, blue lady I won't get old 'Cause the deal is gone now I'd just better hold Here comes long lonely Here comes the blues Well, sun has run down She has gone out to hide Yes, and now I'm out walking Where the midnight ride Just me and the good-time Charlies And the suicide Here comes long lonely Here comes the blues Well, Monday's dry Yes, and tuesday's just the same Maybe come down blue Wednesday I'm gonna grab the brakes again 'Cause no bottle of pills Could ever kill this pain Here comes long lonely Here comes the blues Here comes long lonely Here comes the blues
Sea Within a Sea Some say we walk alone Barefoot on wicked stone no light and sanctuary found never waits around awhile
Marching to the sea their dreams stay in the shadows their dreams stay firmly rooted in the shallows See the scraping sky See my destination there tonight
So say I walk alone barefoot on wicked stone tonight Will you leap to follow Will you turn and go Will your dreams stay rooted in the shallows
See the scraping sky Far beyond the shallows Far beyond the reaches of the shadows
Though youth may fade with boyhood´s cares New fear will catch us unawares I know it will
So you might say the path we share is one of danger and of fear until the end
Love's fading babe I can see it in your eyes Your kiss is just the same but it's just a sweet disguise
Ain't like just luck To worry about me When we promise to be our world Love each other for eternity
Chorus: If you're looking for a way out I won't stand in your way If you're looking for a way out Don't stop at the tears that I'm crying They'll only make you wanna stay Don't kiss me again cos I'm trying To keep you from running away
Oh baby tell me I'm wrong Just say I'm crazy.. it's with me that you belong It's never easy when lovers have to part Oh come on stop pretending Tell me what's in your heart
Chorus
Baby don't run away Baby don't run away Say that you'll stay
Oh come on stop pretending Tell me what's in your heart
Chorus
Baby don't run away 2x
Stop pretending 3x
Please baby now
Stop pretending 3x
Please baby now
Stop pretending 3x
Won't you tell me what's in your heart?
Please baby now... stop pretending
Don't you know that I'll always.... stop pretending
