high church disorder
tall dark evangelist
red brick, loose mortar
here in los angeles
woke up one morning
shakin' so hard
i need someone to hold on to
someone higher than the stars
i need someone to hide under
should the sky fall on my car
i need someone to hold on to
one last crescendo
the band won't play all night
look out your window
here comes the fire light
tonight, tomorrow
i say we hold on tight
some sing "it's alright..."
in temples and bars
i need someone to hold on to
someone higher than the stars
i need someone to hide under
should the sky fall on my car
i need someone to hold on to
still chained, the free man
who swore the slave was dead
don't run to me then
the frightened fool you've wed
can't find the tree stand?
no, not the spider shed!
forget the foothills
you won't get far
you need someone to hold on to
someone higher than the stars
you need someone to drive under
so the sky won't crush your car
i need someone to hold on to
someone higher than the moon
i need someone to hide under
cause the sky is falling soon
you need someone to hold on to
i need someone to hold on to...
set my guitar on fire
with a long-stemmed match
dance while it burns
and laugh when it turns to ash
i would torch everything to keep you warm
i would do anything to keep you from harm
i would do anything
to cover you body and soul, girl
i would give everything in the world
to cover you, to cover you
walk down a dark street
naked on a winter night
run from the law
like the sunday I saw the light
to defend your spirit I would go to war
i would chase the devil to jehovah's door
i would do anything
to cover you body and soul, girl
i would give everything in the world
to cover you
i would do anything
to wrap you up tight on a cold night
i would give everything that I have
to cover you, to cover you
she saw me on the table
frozen through and through
a doctor walked into the room
and cut me clean in two
a blue light shining on my face
she thought she saw me smile
eyes aglow and blinkin' all the while
the layers each were plain to see
she thought of cherries jubilee
and then remembered it was me
so she screamed
the doctor, in complete control, said
"worry not, i'll stitch him whole
but now the sun will warm his soul"
it was a dream
the set me by the window
upon two silver trays
the nurse was quite an angel
singin' "come down, heavenly rays"
a white light shinin' on my face
she knew she saw me smile
eyes aglow and blinkin' all the while
the layers each were plain to see
she thought of cherries jubilee
and then remembered it was me
so she screamed
the doctor, in complete control, said
"worry not, i'll stitch him whole
but now the son will warm his soul"
it was a dream
robin had a dream
were you talking to the snowman?
did you take his cruel advice?
does the ghost of heaven whisper
"mercy, mercy"
did you hear the cock crow thrice?
let the fire rise up inside you
high enough to melt you down
let the wind blow through your spirit and
spin you around
spin you around...
would you like to lay the gun down?
are you paralyzed with fear?
does the ghost of heaven cry out
"sister, brother!"
is the voice too small to hear?
let the fire rise up inside you
high enough to melt you down
let the wind blow through your spirit and
spin you around
spin you around...
i'll wait outside a moment
you watch the clock on the wall
listen closely, i'll say when
sing "london bridge is falling"
no change at all
now count the beats when i come in
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
she never minds the weather
she likes the flashes of light
i say "love, beware black skies"
she's not afraid of winter
or thunderous nights
she follows rainbows in my eyes
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
the minute hand on the seven
second hand on the three
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
we hold each other so close
we dance around and around
she likes the music that i play
she wants to bust out laughing
she's learnin' how
she wonders if i'm home to stay
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
the minute hand on the eight now
a hundred and fifty-three
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me...
wide-eyed wonder girl
starin' Into the sky, wonderin' why
it's a good, great world
but it turns around
nevermind the ground
look up high, stars above
please don't cry, father's love
hold on tight to his hand
dream tonight, understand
wide-eyed wonder girl
starin' into the sky, wonderin' why
it's a good, great world
but it turns around
nevermind the ground
look up high, dancing bear
please don't cry, daddy's prayer
hold on tight to my hand
dream tonight, wonderland
wide-eyed wonder girl
starin' into the sky, wonderin' why
it's a good, great world
but it turns, you'll see
so hold on tight to me...
wise people sing out loud
"beware the killer cloud
the air we breathe!"
why should we cry along?
i know a happy song
so sing with me
happy fool reasons have i
happy fool notions have you
i say the sky is as blue as the ocean
you say you know it's true
some hear the drumming rain
they fear a hurricane
why should we run?
let's fix the roof instead
wear helmets on our heads
till kingdom come
happy fool reasons have i
happy fool notions have you
i say the sky is as blue as the ocean
you say you know it's true
so tie your shoelaces
to my shoelaces
i'll tie a rope to a tree
we'll see how the wind whips
happy fool faces
come blow away with me
i'd tremble, truth be told
should someone dear grow cold
i'd pray for fire
so stay with me tonight
we'll dance till morning light
love is no liar
happy fool reasons have i
happy fool notions have you
i say the sky is as blue as the ocean
you say you know it's true
so tie your shoelaces
to my shoelaces
i'll tie a rope to a tree
we'll see how the wind whips
happy fool faces
come blow away with me
it's not a bad car that i drive
barely well but still alive
you might laugh when i arrive
it's not a bad car that i drive
it's not a cold couch where i sleep
not as hard as it was cheap
seven foot long, two feet deep
it's not a cold couch where i sleep
she's not a sad girl that i've got
cries a little, laughs a lot
loves her man more than she ought
she's not a sad girl that i've got
tie you shoelaces
to my shoelaces
i'll tie a rope to a tree
we'll see how the wind whips
happy fool faces
come blow away with me
it's not a cruel world where i stay
spins around once every day
children dance, proud (wise) men sway
it's not a cruel world where i stay
it's not a black heart where i feel
wicked schemes I may reveal
washed in blood each time i kneel
it's not a black heart where i feel
why are you still crying?
your pain is now through
please forget those teardrops
let me take them from you
the love you are blessed with
is worth waiting for
so let out your heart
please, please
from behind that locked door
it's time we start smiling
what else should we do
if only this short time
i'm gonna be here with you
and the tales you have taught me
from the things that you saw
makes me want out your heart
please, please
from behind that locked door
and if ever my love goes
if i'm rich or i'm poor
please let out my heart
please, please
from behind that locked door...
away we go again
too early in the morning
just one more thought or three
before I say goodbye
insurance policies
are in the second drawer, love
now listen close to one last
sad sigh
for the words i never would say
if i were to bid farewell my love today
a glad sigh
for the promise of a new day
if i were to bid farewell and fly away
i've sung a thousand songs
give or take four hundred
tried to ride the clouds
i know you came along
i feel some turbulence now
and if this were farewell, friend
would you hear one final
sad song
for the songs i never would sing
if i were to bid farewell my friend today
a glad song
as the bells beyond the night ring
and though i walked beneath the moon
the sun was in my eyes
so this is not a sorry tune
but heaven help me
a sad sigh
for the words i never would say
if i were to bid farewell the world today
a glad sigh
for the promise of a new day
if i were to bid farewell and fly away
a sad sigh
for the songs i never would sing
if i were to bid farewell to you today
a glad song
as the bells beyond the night ring
if i were to bid farewell and fade away...
