Tonight I Have No Words For You

Tonight I have no words for you
Made a promise to say so much
Oh I can only steal from you
What already belongs to us
I would like to sing a firestorm
And not some rich and soothing well
Well all such lines are forbidden now
And it's you I cannot touch

Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not go to sleep

I would like to come unmasked for you
I wanna come without a lie
It was this voice and pen I used
To make myself a man
Now if you could try and reach inside
And tear apart this sad cocoon
Oh I will again be that moon for you
And we too will be like sand

Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know

You know it just might change
You don't wear these chaggers and chains
You know it won't come on and
You know the government's coming along
You know it just might change
You don't wear these chaggers and chains, chaggers and chains
Well alright

Now I ain't being cold
You know it's only that just now
Seems obvious the hands that fell
Are the hands that will soon knock down
Well tonight I see the skyline
As the skyline lights a mountain range
Tomorrow night it just might have changed
The other way around

Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know

You know it just might change
You don't wear these chaggers and chains
You know it won't come on and
You know the government's coming along
You know it just might change
You don't wear these chaggers and chains, chaggers and chains
Well you know

You know it just might change
You don't wear these chaggers and chains
You know it won't come on, come on
You know it just might change
You don't wear these chaggers and chains, chaggers and chains
Well come on


Highway 2.000.000

Hey!

And in my lonely hour awaken
I'll feel the stars stuff the hook
And I swear that all these things I might be guilty of
Just came to happen on the road I took

I don't know why I took this turn
And we may be lover
Right from the moment we were born and
All the stars they were a-falling
Right from the night I had this calling, yeah, right

And I know only where it started
On a cold and lonely highway
Well, my arms were reaching
Into the land beyond
I saw the stars out in the night
And a million winding roads
And heavy horses up there moving on the wind and
And all the time they were pull, pull, right boy
I enjoy the sickness of my heart
And I took off a trail that ran along the frozen highway
My head was melting, I was startled
But right from the start I had this calling, yeah

Oh, I don't know why I took this turn
Now I know that I must burn
But I am sorry for the road I took off
The holy books are open wide
And will be forgiveen
There's something in there
That keeps on pulling me apart
And then I stood beneath the sky
With the second guided ???
My hands forever stained with blood and
I couldn't feel my body moving
And from inside I felt
This pull, oh, this pull
Yeah, oh right



1990

Well I heard the bee that hummed of the USA
And I heard the bee that hummed of the UK
The brand new school keep you reading any way you want
You don't even make sense, be a millionaire
Be assured that you've won, uh, oh

Turn up down everything, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hurts on the radio, huh!

Well I heard the bee that hummed of the USA
And I heard about the bee enough and then I heard about the pain
Oh, boy, you better wake up soon, you better wake up now
This song is a better one, this song is a meaningful
Meaningful shalala, oh, uh

Turn up down everything, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hurts on the radio, oh, oh
Turn up down everything
You know I ain't been around, uh, oh, uh
Been around, yeah, uh, oh, uh
Been around, uh, oh, uh
But I give up on the lot
To get away from this town, right

Well, I heard that something broke that precious heart
Hey, mister now, tell me what you really know
Now that the drugs have grown so smart
Oh, the covergirl has long since fallen
From the cover of a magazine
And the other girl is talking to the ballroom
Buzzin, when the rumour's out: heroine, oh, uh

Turn up down everything, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hurts on the radio, oh, oh
Turn up down everything
You know I ain't been around, uh, oh, uh
Been around, yeah, uh, oh, uh
Been around, uh, oh, uh
Gonna tell if you're down
And I ain't been around, no, uh, oh, uh
Been around, yeah, uh, oh, uh
Been around, uh, oh, uh
But I give up on the lot
To get away from this town
Up on the lot
To get away from this town, yeah



Move

No love tonight
A long day coming
Gonna be alright
Well then, keep shining bright
I'm out of my mind
Close my eyes tonight

Oh, you gotta move right over here
Right over here

Long days and nights
Oh, long, cold stairs up there
From a room filled with song
I know that I can't stay in here long
But I get a little warmer thinking of leaving
The long way back into your arms
Honey, no love tonight
I'm out of my mind now
You see how we come and go

You gotta move right over here
Right over here, yeah, oh
Oh, you gotta move right over here, oh yeah
You gotta move right over here

Oh, love, there's the one, there's the right
Don't just come to anyone
There is the brave love
There is the brave love
Now there's only one of us
Where there used to be two
Well, now there's only me
Where there used to be you
Oh, oh ??? to the one, to all
Oh, you know tonight
Sometimes you don't come around
And ???

Why don't you run
Why don't you run
Oh, run
Why don't you run
Why don't you run
Oh, run

Oh, ??? to the one, to all



Ice - 9

In my head

Running red

The Riverbed

Moon
How it falls
On the field
Down among us
Rain
Falls
On the king
And his men
On the riverbed

Now
Now we meet
After all these years
Do you my king
Do you remember me
Yeah, I see your face
Before me now
And I'm telling you tonight
That I know we belong
Beyond this life
The war has taken this turn
And it ain't ever turning back

I grew
To be a man
A man who grew
To be a king
Got a job at the mill
And when the war came
I signed up for you

Every day, now
I send a letter
To the people back home
Oh, I bet you long
For the life that you lived
Me, myself, I've got nothing to lose but this war
And I'm telling you the war that I fought, it was wrong
And we must die
And now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed

Drums roll
And we must go
We must go The enemy is upon us
Rise from your knees
And now, pull to debrise

Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed
For I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong
And we must die
It doesn't matter much now anyway
Tonight we unite

And when we're pushing through
I turn around one last time
And through the fire and the rain
I see the king's white flag
The king lives on
But everyone
Everybody dies



I'm Life's Wonderful Way Of Letting You Down

Love
And loss
And love
Once again
These things just don't make sense
Whatever it is it's never long before it blows
And you know
I'm life's wonderful way
Of letting you down
So why don't you go
'Cause you're the one
Who had it made

Love
So bad
So good
When you're right
Why just not sure
Whatever it is it's never long before it blows
Don't you know
I'm life's wonderful way
Of letting you down
And you're the one
You're the one
Who had it made

I'm life's wonderful way
Of letting you down
Oh, yes you're still the one
You had it all, you had it all



Legends And Bones

I'm moving on a track of legends and bones
I'm moving on a track of legends and bones
Come on baby won't you hold my hand
So sorry you don't understand
Moving on a track of legends and bones

I don't wanna play in a rock 'n' roll band
Sorry baby you don't understand
Moving on a track of legends and bones

I admitted that it's driving me outta my mind
I'm rolling like a bottle inside a goldmine
Come on baby won't you hold my hand
Come on baby don't you understand
Moving on a track of legends and bones

I don't even wanna play in a band
I know that some of you don't understand
Moving on a track of legends and bones



Wheelchair

I rode your wheelchair
I touched your naked soul
I said "Here's another cripple like yourself, lover"
And it was me all the time I was coming down
With a tight grip around your wrists, lover

I used to fall like a stone into my bed
All alone, all in one, as the night comes on
And we're rolling on
And we're rolling gone
But I'm safe ??? ??? and a warm lover
I'm afraid
Oh, honey I'm afraid

Just when you feel it kicking it
I'm floating away
And all these things seem so important to you
But I cannot stay
Stay another day

Oh, where the shadows play
Under the cross
I'm the only ??? as you skinny son
Calling out for the only one
Oh, we two are one

And it's to fall like a stone into my bed
All alone, all in one, as the night comes on
And we're rolling on
And we're rolling gone
But I'm safe ??? ??? and a warm lover
I'm afraid
Oh, honey I'm afraid, lover

Just when you feel it kicking in
I'm floating away
All these things seem so important to you
But I cannot stay

Just when you feel it kicking in
I'm floating away
All these things seem so important to you
But I cannot stay
Oh, stay another day
Oh yeah yeah yeah

Under the cross

Calling out for the only one
Oh oh, we two are one
Alright

Hammering

Big Sleep

Oh, there is no sleep at the very point of the needle
And there's no good company
There's an end for the circle
Of the plain silver ring
So far from the place
Where I left the van
On higher ground
With a grey wind around her waist

I have dreamed of the soft of her skin and her very own taste
My perfect friend in a perfect house
The big sleep
I am awake tonight
And I dream of her hands
And the big sleep
Happy
Are we happy now
No I do not think that we are

Oh, there is no sleep for me
There's no good company
Oh, I do remember how a certain lady used to speak very gently to me
My perfect friend in a perfect house
The big sleep
My perfect friend in a perfect house
The big sleep
Oh, everything in its proper place
The big sleep
I am awake tonight and I dream of her hands and the big sleep
Her big sleep

Her big sleep
Her big sleep



Nightly Disease Pt.I

I've never known anyone
That would stick
Stick to my fingers and face
Whenever I needed
Someone at my fingertips

All seem to come off
Off
Like toothpaste
In that lukewarm water

Gone today
Oh, it was only yesterday
I'll always be funny that way
I have always been funny that way
I will not stand away from the window
For I'm the night's loyal police

Please
Sleep tight
Sleep tightly now
Trust me to watch over you
Keep you from the paperboy
Trash can boy
And keep you from the nightly disease
And keep you from the nightly disease

I will not stand away from the window
For I'm the night's loyal police
Go chasing round the kitchen table
I'm the bankier at his eyefoot table
A head on a stick
And it's funny how you stick
You've always been funny that way
You've always been funny that way
