I woke alone today For all the birds have flown Inside this empty house Which no longer feels like home No angel of mercy Is gonna hear my call, Lord, no No angel of mercy To dry the tears that shall not fall I woke alone today Amidst life's killing fields of war This door of memories Closed forevermore No angel of mercy Is gonna hear my call, Lord, no No angel of mercy To dry the tears that shall not fall No angel of mercy Is gonna hear my call, Lord, no No angel of mercy To dry the tears that shall not fall No angel of mercy Is gonna hear my call, Lord, no No angel of mercy To dry the tears that shall not fall

When the sky is turning black, you fear the dawn Your inner voice compels you, but you're all alone Thy secret sense lies still obscure within your Shattered dreams, And all you can do is scream Long ago you spoke the words of heresy Twenty years of running brings back memories All your wisdom made me seek the truth that lied Beyond My inner dreams "Follow the one that fell from the crimson skies" I remember the words, i can never forget your demise And now your world's falling down For all the games that you played And as your soul's falling down You'll meet the unforgiving blade Should have seen it coming When you rolled the dice Deeper and deeper, falling, Away from your paradise Innocent eyes observing the crimson skies, Awaiting for someone to heal the burning lies And now your world's falling down For all the games that you played And as your soul's falling down You'll meet the unforgiving blade And now your world's falling down For all the games that you played And as your soul's falling down You'll meet the unforgiving blade And now your world's falling down For all the games that you played And as your soul's falling down You'll meet the unforgiving blade And now your world's falling down And as your soul's falling down Unforgiving Unforgiving blade

(Chapin Hartford/Jim McBride) Heaven knows where I'd be now If you had not found me On that road that takes a man To places he's not meant to be. I wasn't ready for the touch That turned my life around Now I'm helpless in your hands It's love that ties me down. Angel of no mercy Girl you take my breath away And it feels so good it hurts me To think that you might fly away Can't you see that I've surrendered You stole this old heart blind You're an angel of no mercy But I don't mind. Ain't it strange how love can take A heart that's hard as steel Hold it tightly in the fire And teach that cold heart how to feel. Touch me now, I'm still not sure You're truly flesh and bone Heaven knows you can't be from This world that I live on. Angel of no mercy Girl you take my breath away And it feels so good it hurts me To think that you might fly away Can't you see that I've surrendered You stole this old heart blind You're an angel of no mercy But I don't mind.

Red sun go down way over dirty town Starlings are sweeping around crazy shoals Yes and a girl is there high heeling across the square Wind it blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light She looks around to find a face she can like. Church bell clinging on just a trying to get a crowd for Evensong Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays They're all in the station praying for trains Congregation late again It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days Drunk old soldier he give her a fright He's a crazy lion he's a-howling for a fight Strap hanging gunshot sound Doors slamming on the overground Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone Her evening paper is horror torn But there's hope later for Capricorns Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home Then she's reading about a swing to the right But she's a-thinking about a stranger in the night I'm thinking about the lions Thinking about the lions What happened to the lions tonight. Tonight tonight Thinking about the lions

I seen a girl on a one-way corridor Stealing down a wrong-way street For all the world like an urban toreador She had wheels on, on her feet Well, the cars do the usual dances Same old cruise and the curbside crawl But the roller girl, she's taking chances They just love to see her take them all No fear alone at night She's sailing through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight And the music's playing loud Hallelujah, here she comes Queen rollerball And enchanté, what can I say? Don't care at all You know, she used to have to wait around She used to be the lonely one But now that she can skate around town She's the only, only one No fear alone at night She's sailing through the crowd In her ears those phones are tight And the music's playing loud She gets rock 'n' roll and a rock 'n' roll station And a rock 'n' roll dream She's making movies on location She don't know what it means And the music make her wanna be the story And the story was whatever was the song, what it was Roller girl, don't worry D.J. play the movies All night long, all night long She tortures taxi drivers just for fun She likes to read their lips Says, "Toro, toro, taxi, see ya tomorrow, my son" I swear, she let a big truck grease her hip Aw, she got her own world in the city, yeah You can't intrude on her, no, no, no, no She got her own world in the city The city's been so rude to her No fears alone at night Sailing through the crowd In her ears those phones so tight And the music's playing loud She gets rock 'n' roll and a rock 'n' roll station And a rock 'n' roll dream She's making movies on location She don't know what it means But the music make her wanna be the story And the story was whatever was the song, what it was Roller girl, don't worry D.J. play the movies All night long, all night long Slippin' and a-slidin' Yeah, life's a rollerball Slippin' and a-slidin' Skateaway, that's all Skateaway Sha-la sha-lay, hey, hey Skateaway Now, sha-la sha-lay, hey, hey She's singing sha-la sha-lay, hey, hey Skateaway
