It was a cold and wet December day When we touched the ground at JFK Snow was melting on the ground On BLS I heard the sound Of an angel New York, like a Christmas tree Tonight this city belongs to me Angel Soul love...this love won't let me go So long...Angel of Harlem Birdland on fifty-three The street sounds like a symphony We got John Coltrane and a love supreme Miles says she's got to be an angel Lady Day got diamond eyes She sees the truth behind the lies Angel Soul love...this love won't let me go So long...Angel of Harlem Angel of Harlem She says it's heart...heart and soul... Yeah yeah...(yeah) Yeah yeah...(right now) Blue light on the avenue God knows they got to you An empty glass, the lady sings Eyes swollen like a bee sting Blinded you lost your way Through the side streets and the alleyway Like a star exploding in the night Falling to the city in broad daylight An angel in Devil's shoes Salvation in the blues You never looked like an angel Yeah yeah...Angel of Harlem Angel...Angel of Harlem... [Repeat and fade]
(Yeah) Lover, I'm on the street Gonna go where the bright lights And the big city meet With a red guitar...on fire Desire She's a candle burning in my room Yeah I'm like the needle, needle and spoon Over the counter with a shotgun Pretty soon everybody got one And the fever when I'm beside her Desire, desire... And the fever...getting higher Desire, desire...burning, burning She's the dollars She's my protection Yeah she's a promise In the year of election Oh sister, I can't let you go Like a preacher stealing hearts At a traveling show For love or money money money money money money money money money money money And the fever, getting higher Desire, desire, desire, desire Desire, desire
I don't know you And you don't know the half of it I had a starring role I was the bad guy who walked out They said be careful where you aim 'cause where you aim you just might hit You can hold on to something so tight You've already lost it Dragging me down That's not the way it used to be You can't even remember What I'm trying to forget It was a dirty day Dirty day You're looking for explanations I don't even understand If you need someone to blame Throw a rock in the air You'll hit someone guilty From father to son In one life has begun A work that's never done Father to son (And love...it won't last kissin' time) (And love...it won't last kissin' time) (And love...it won't last kissin' time) Get it right There's no blood thicker than ink Hear what I say Nothing's simple as you think Wake up Some things you can't get around I'm in you More so when they put me in the ground These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill... [Repeat and fade until end]
Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
You don't know how you took it You just know what you got Oh Lordy you've been stealing From the theives and you got caught In the headlights Of a stretch car You're a star Dressing like your sister Living like a tart They don't know what you're doing Babe, it must be art You're a headache In a suitcase You're a star Oh don't be shy You don't have to go blind Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me You don't know how you got here You just know you want out Believing in yourself Almost as much as you doubt You're a big smash You wear it like a rash Star Oh don't be shy It's a crime to cry Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me They want you to be Jesus They go down on one knee But they want their money back If you're alive at thirty-three And you're turning tricks With your crucifix You're a star (Oh child) Because you're not shy You don't have to deny love Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
I have climbed highest mountain I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls These city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I believe in the kingdom come Then all the colors will bleed into one Bleed into one Well yes I'm still running You broke the bonds and you Loosed the chains Carried the cross Of my shame Of my shame You know I believed it But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
Lemon See through in the sunlight She wore lemon But never in the daylight She's gonna make you cry She's gonna make you whisper and moan And when you're dry She draws her water from the stone And I feel Like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under And I feel Like I'm holding onto nothing She wore lemon To colour in the cold grey night She had heaven And she held on so tight A man makes a picture A moving picture Through the light projected He can see himself up close A man captures colour A man likes to stare He turns his money into light to look for her And I feel Like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore And I feel Like I'm swimming out to her Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Lemon See through in the sunlight A man builds a city With banks and cathedrals A man melts the sand so he can See the world outside You're gonna meet her there A man makes a car She's your destination And builds a road to run them on You gotta get to her A man dreams of leaving She's imagination But he always stays behind And these are the days When our work has come asunder And these are the days When we look for something other Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins A man makes a picture A moving picture Through the light projected He can see himself up close You're gonna meet her there A man captures colour She's your destination A man likes to stare There's no sleeping there He turns his money into light She's imagination To look for her Lemon She is the dreamer She's imagination She had heaven Through the light projected He can see himself up close She wore lemon

One love One life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share it Leaves you baby if you Don't care for it Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's... Too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One... Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come to raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same Well we Hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters Brothers One life But we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One...life One
One man come in the name of love One man come and go One man come, he to justify One man to overthrow In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love One man caught on a barbed wire fence One man he resist One man washed on an empty beach. One man betrayed with a kiss In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love (nobody like you...) Early morning, April 4 Shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free at last, they took your life They could not take your pride In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love...
We crossed the line Who pushed who over It doesn't matter to you It matters to me We're cut adrift But still floating I'm only hanging on To watch you go down My love I disappeared in you You disappeared from me I gave you everything you ever wanted It wasn't what you wanted The men who love you, you hate the most They pass right through you like a ghost They look for you but your spirit is in the air Baby, you're nowhere Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules Oh...love...sweetheart... You're so cruel Desperation is a tender trap It gets you every time You put your lips to her lips To stop the lie Her skin is pale like God's only dove Screams like an angel for your love Then she makes you watch her from above And you need her like a drug Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules Oh...love...sweetheart... You're so cruel She wears my love like a see-through dress Her lips say one thing Her movements something else Oh love...like a screaming flower Love...dying every hour...love You don't know if it's fear or desire Danger the drug that takes you higher Head in heaven, fingers in the mire Her heart is racing, you can't keep up The night is bleeding like a cut Between the horses of love and lust We are trampled underfoot Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules Oh...love...sweetheart... You're so cruel Oh...love...to stay with you I'd be a fool Sweetheart...you're so cruel
Summer stretching on the grass Summer dresses pass In the shade of a willow tree Creeps a crawling over me Over me and over you Stuck together with God's glue It's going to get stickier too It's been a long hot summer Let's get under cover Don't try too hard to think Don't think at all I'm not the only one Staring at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you took a look inside I'm not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun Not the only one Who's happy to go blind There's an insect in your ear If you scratch it won't disappear It's going to itch and burn and sting You want to see what the scratching brings Waves that leave me out of reach Breaking on your back like a beach Will we ever live in peace 'Cause those that can't do Often have to And those that can't do Often have to preach To the ones Staring at the sun Afraid of what you'll find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun I'm not the only one Who'd rather go blind Intransigence is all around Military still in town Armour plated suits and ties Daddy just won't say goodbye Referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will He listen I'm nearly great But there's something missing I left it in the duty free But you never really belonged to me You're not the only one Staring at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you stepped back inside I'm not sucking on my thumb I'm staring at the sun Not the only one Who's happy to go blind

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you...child
Low Voice Gospel Voice
A man will beg Love...we shine like a
A man will crawl burning star
On the sheer face of love We're falling from
Like a fly on a wall the sky...tonight
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief
Oh love...
Low Voice Gospel Voice
A man will rise Love...we shine like a
A man will fall burning star
From the sheer face of love We're falling from
Like a fly from a wall the sky...tonight
It's no secret at all

The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange

You're out on your own
You know everyone in the world
But you feel alone
Daddy won't let you weep
Daddy won't let you ache
Daddy gives you as much as you can take

Daddy's a comfort
Daddy's your best friend
Daddy'll hold your hand right up to the end
A-ha, sha-la, a-ha, sha-la

Ice; Your only rivers run cold These city lights They shine as silver and gold Dug from the night Your eyes as black as coal Walk on by! Walk on through! Walk 'til you run And don't look back For here I am Carnival; The wheels fly and the colors spin Through alcohol Red wine that punctures the skin Face to face In a dry and waterless place Walk on by! Walk on through! So sad to besiege your love so head on Stay with me this time Stay tonight in a lie I'm only asking but I... I think you know Come on take me away Come on take me away Come on take me home Home again And if the mountain should crumble Or I'd disappear into the sea Not a tear, no not I Stay with me this time Stay tonight in... Ever, after, this love in time And if you save your love Save it all! (Save it all) Don't push me too far Don't push me too far Tonight, Tonight Tonight...
The heart is a bloom, Shoots up through the stony ground But there's no room, No space to rent in this town You're out of luck And the reason that you had to care, The traffic is stuck And you're not moving anywhere. You thought you'd found a friend To take you out of this place Someone you can lend a hand In return for grace It's a beautiful day The sky falls And you feel like it's a beautiful day Don't let it get away You're on the road But you've got no destination You're in the mud In the maze of her imagination Love is tough Even if it doesn't ring true You've been all over And it's been all over you It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away It's a beautiful day Touch me, Take me to that other place Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out See the bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light, and See the bird with the leaf in her mouth After the flood, all the colors came out It was a beautiful day Don't let it get away Beautiful day Touch me, take me to that other place Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case What you don't have you don't need it now What you don't know you can feel it somehow What you don't have you don't need it now Don't need it now Was a beautiful day
