Oh wasn't it the wild out here That whispered I'm older And now nothing in myself rings so clear Than to leave and to hold her The world's kind of tired and I'm just the same The fires I long for the fires I blame Take it out, I'm down in my heart Where the winds and the wires alone I hear them running the waves under me Of the winds and the wires alone I hear them running And all I can say to you My lonesome valley I'll fix my heart, and I'll be gone before the night Because suddenly she's standing here Damn, I need my shoulders They are lost from that time I just went Between New York and Boulder The world is a wonder but where to begin? The fires that I long for the fires I blame Take it out, I'm down in my heart Where the winds and the wires alone I hear them running the waves under me The winds and the wires alone I hear them running And all I can say to you My lonesome valley I'll fix my heart, and I'll be gone before the night And wasn't there a moment I thought I could dream Here? forget about it. It's finally quiet, I'm finally free To say to you My lonesome valley I'll fix my heart, and I'll be gone before the night

What's behind your eyes makes you a star I want to take my time on earth And give it meaning They say you get what you deserve I know the feeling Those [?] only get you so far What's behind your eyes makes you a star I'm gonna walk onto that stage like it's my destiny Stand and tell the truth, make no apologies If tomorrow I should die, these are my memories I'm gonna take this simple life and make history I dream a fantasy and then achieve it Repeat the greatest lie till they believe it You and me, not gods, define us now You come here screaming, leave in silence Oh, I'm gonna walk onto that stage like it's my destiny Stand and tell the truth, make no apologies If tomorrow I should die, these are my memories I'm gonna take this simple life and make history Let's fly higher than the mocking birds They won't touch us way up here In the sole asylum of the universe A man can disappear Raise a glass to the disfunctional It's never ever too late I fell like miracles are happening If I could just get out the way I want to take my time on earth And give it meaning They say you get what you deserve I know the feeling, feeling, feeling You've gotta walk onto that stage like it's your destiny Stand and tell the truth, make no apologies If tomorrow you should die, these are your memories You've gotta take this simple life and make history

My body's in the summer storm And my mind is with the feeling after Old memories I can't let go I'm moving on but they run faster My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right Stillness in the ways I try And then you walk on by My body says the water's cold But my mind will have a way to cross it And I know I held the time so dear And the feeling it was here, I lost it My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right Stillness in the ways I try And then you walk on by In a patch in the forest Little bells hang from the tree And I ring them so gently What if you heard me now, my dear? My body's with the birds in me But my mind is with the times they're leaving I want them but I let them go There's a sparkle in the dust I breathe in My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right Stillness in the ways I try And then you walk on by My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right, oh Stillness in the ways I try As I lean into the morning light It's like my body's in some other town And then you walk on by

When the day fades away into twilight The moon is my light of love In the night, I am quite a romancer I find an answer above To being me consolation, you're my inspiration This is my imagination. Time on my hands, you in my arms Nothing but love in view, then you fall Once and for all, I'll see my dreams come true Moments to spare for someone you care for; Our love affair for two With time on my hands and you in my arms And love in my heart all for you.

We're sailing on a strange boat Heading for a strange shore We're sailing on a strange boat Heading for a strange shore Carrying the strangest cargo That was ever hauled aboard We're sailing on a strange sea Blown by a strange wind We're sailing on a strange sea Blown by a strange wind Carrying the strangest crew That ever sinned We're riding in a strange car We're following a strange star We're climbing on the strangest ladder That was ever there to climb We're living in a strange time Working for a strange goal We're living in a strange time We're working for a strange goal We're turning flesh and body Into soul

I've burned my bridges And I'm free at last All my chains are In the past The new life starts here The day is wide open The sky is blue The world is a miracle And so are you The new life starts here My papers arrived Stamped and complete All previous dispatches Are obsolete The new life starts here I can see my way so clear Rejoice for... The new life starts here There's a war in the Gulf But it ain't in my head I just declared a state of Peace instead The new life starts here Tempters and tricksters Banging at my door I'm not fighting with them Anymore The new life starts here. Generals, Presidents How do you do? I can make it with or Without you The new life starts here I can see my way so clear Rejoice for me The new life starts here Are you under the Mercy? Are you under attack? Are you going forward? Are you going back? The new life starts here Are you coming to grips? Are you coming apart? Are you listening to fear? Or to your heart? The new life starts here Citizens, criminals, Child, woman, or man, The keys to the Kingdom Are in your own hands The new life starts here Mock the devil Make him sweat! He hasn't won The battle yet The new life starts here A whole new age in seven more years A brave new age in ten more years Rejoice for me New life starts here.

I have heard the big music And I'll never be the same Something so pure Just called my name I have drowned in the big sea Now I find I'm still alive And I'm coming up for ever Shadows all behind me, ecstacy to come I have Climbed the big tree Touched the big sky I just stuck my hand up in the air And everything came into colour Like Jazz mana from sweet, sweet chariots I have seen the big mountain And I swear I'm halfway there (You'll never get there, you'll never get there, you'll never get there) But I will, I will always climb the mountain Because... I have heard the big music And I'll never be the same Something so pure Has called my name

Come here Her communique arrived with its expression of her feeling I swear I had no idea she'd been holding in conceiling Such a storm of words unsaid Though absurd as it appears Had been blowing in her head For twenty-seven years I knew I had to face her so I grabbed my Davey Crocket Threw a scarf around my neck And twenty Dollars in my pocket Found her in the same old place Pamflet in her fist When she saw my windblown face Well look at who it is Meet me on the mad parade When the midnight bells are chiming We'll dress up as the harlequin and the clown Pile up all the wonders that we've made In a tower too tall for climbing And we'll burn the damn thing down In the great November lake she was older still alluring Her hair grey and longer than it ever had been during The days we loved an slept In her bed of faded wood In the little place she kept In a crumbling neighbourhood We walked along a while Like we were old companions But I could feel the gap between us Yawning like a canian She with her church and code Her extravagant believes Me a creature of the road A child of dust and grief Meet me on the mad parade When the midnight bells are chiming We'll dress up as the harlequin and the clown Pile up all the wonders that we've made In a tower too tall for climbing And we'll burn the damn thing down She smoked a cigarette and blew smoke rings at the ceiling Said if you're problem is long standing man Why don't you try kneeling Now your face I see you're still a sinner in the mist Setting up your little will Is king in place of His I said I've heard about sin Down the long wheels of ages I cracked books of lies With a thousand twisted pages Then I looked her in the eye And asked her clear and plane If your religion was a lie Then what would remain Se said if God looked beaten hard To loving hands to heal it There's nothing in my day that I ain't got strength to deal me I said darling I confess The same things applies to me As for all the rest We agreed to disagree Meet me on the mad parade When the midnight bells are chiming We'll dress up as the harlequin and the clown Pile up all the wonders that we've made In a tower too tall for climbing And we'll burn the damn thing down Yes we'll burn the damn thing down

I'm still a freak, I never went straight I kept my appointment with fate And like every human being that was ever born I'm unique Things disappear, but I'm still here I'm still a freak I'm still a head and I'm doing fine I can hear your voice in my mind You ain't singing my praises now honey Do it when I'm dead I'm not bitter but I'm no quitter I'm still a head I'm still awake, I knew all along If you ain't crazy there's something wrong And there's no such thing as a coincidence Or a mistake And all this confusion is all just illusion I'm still awake I'm still a freak, I ain't been gagged I'm still flying the flag The game's movin' so fast, who knows where it's gonna Be this time next week! Empires rise and fall, but through it all I'm still a freak!
