Give up the feelings you get, the highs, The lows and the last cigarette of your life The knife will cut never again, Give the pain, give the love, take the medicine And you'll never regret, take it in and reset, lose it all Good for the moment, So own it and let yourself live, outside your mind Thoughts in their place, On your face lies the trace of a smile, loving and kind Everything's vivid and clear, But the image is lost, just colors and lines Breaking yourself to connect to your Health, but in turn, you're losing the time I'm embarrassed, I'll admit it's further than I thought I'd let it go But now, I'm stumbling for words I'm breaking off a piece, releasing this, maybe I'll never be the same With all of the rain, what good is my sky? So I adjust as I must if I wish to align, and straighten my mind Days go unnoticed, it's good, I suppose I could say I'm feeling fine But where is my terror? My gut wrenching flares that compose and arrange on the lines Should I expect if neglecting my Hectic desire, my hands should resign? Take a moment, let it hit you, Thoughts can take you, shake you, grip you Take your heart, collapse and tear it, but it's not without its merit Everything is worth its while, savage thoughts can make you smile Art is art and hearts, are smart to let us forge a brighter start I'm breaking off from these releases, Who's to say I shouldn't be this way? Without all my pain, what good am I?

The guilty undertaker sighs The lonesome organ grinder cries The silver saxophones say I should refuse you The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow in my face with scorn But it's not that easy I wasn't born to lose you I want you, I want you I want you so bad Honey, I want you The drunken politician leaps Upon the street where mothers weep And the saviors who are fast asleep, they wait for you And I wait for them to interrupt Me drinkin' from my broken cup And ask me if I would Open up the gate for you I want you, I want you I want you so bad Honey, I want you Well all my fathers, they've gone down True love they've been without it But all their daughters put me down 'Cause I don't think about it Well, as I return to the Queen of Spades And talk with my chambermaid She knows I'm not afraid to look at her And oh she is good to me And there's nothing that she doesn't see She knows where I'd like to be But it doesn't matter I want you, I want you Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you Your dancing child with his Chinese suit He spoke to me, I took his flute No, I wasn't very cute to him, was I? But I did it to him because he lied Because he took you for a ride Because time was on his side And because I... I want you, I want you I want you so bad Honey, I want you

Harbours open their arms to the young searching foreigner Come to live in the light of the beacon of liberty Plains and open skies billboards would advertise Was it anything like that when you arrived Dream boats carried the future to the heart of America People were waiting in line for a place by the river Chorus It was a time when strangers were welcome here Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room That people could come from everywhere Now he arrives with his hopes and his heart set on miracles Come to marry his fortune with a hand full of promises To find they've closed the door they don't want him anymore There isn't any more to go around Turning away he remembers he once heard a legend That spoke of a mystical magical land called America There was a time when strangers were welcome here Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room That people could come from everywhere There was a time when strangers were welcome here Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room That people could come from everywhere
