One Sweet World

Nine planets 'round the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much to we take for granted

So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely

If green should turn to grey
Would our hearts still bloody beat?
And if the mountains tumble away, river dry
Would it stop the stepping feet?

Oh, let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely

Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we can rest safely

One Sweet World
Around this star is spinning
One Sweet World
And in her breath I'm swimming
And here I will rest in peace.

Tripping Billies

We were above
You were standing underneath us
We were not yet lovers
Dragons were smoked
Bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy

Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow we die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow we die
'Cause we're Tripping Billies

We're wearing nothing
Nothing but our shadows
Shadows falling down on
The beach sand
Remembering once out on the beaches
We wore pineapple grass bracelets

So why would you care
To get out of this place?
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race

'Cause we're Tripping Billies.

We are all sitting
Legs crossed around a fire
My yellow flame she dances
Tequila drinking
Oh, our minds will wander
To wonderous places

So why would you care
To get out of this place?
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race
Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow we'll die
Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow we'll die...

Timmy...

Eat, drink, and be merry
For tomorrow we'll die...

Jimi Thing

Lately I've been feeling low
A remedy is what I'm seeking
I take a taste of what's below
Come away to something better
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
I reach and search and never stop
And I'll say...

If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called Jimi
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you

Sometime a Jimi Thing
Slide my way and keep me swingin'
I'd like to show you what's inside
But I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Well, sometimes I walk there
Yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care
Bereaved as I'm feeling

You know, the day is gone I'm on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
I take a drink to sit back and relax
Smoke my mind makes me feel
Better for a small time
What I want is what I've not got
And what I need is all around me
I reach and search and never stop
And I'll say...

If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you

Sometime this Jimi Thing
Slide my way and keep me swingin'
I'd like to show you what's inside
But I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Well, sometimes I walk there
Yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care
Bereaved as I'm feeling

Lately I've been feeling low
And a remedy's what I'm looking for
I take a taste of what's below
Come away...

If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you

Sometime this Jimi Thing
Slide my way and keep me swingin'
I'd like to show you what's inside
But I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Well, sometimes I walk there
Yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care
Bereaved as I'm feeling

Satellite

Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping tom for the mother station

Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite

Satellite, headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more, tell me more
Who's the king of your satellite castle?

Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite

Rest high above the clouds, no resrictions
Television we bounce 'round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes

Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping tom for the mother station

Winter's cold Spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite

Rest high above the clouds, no restrictions
Television we bounce from the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about this weatherman's satellite eyes

Crash Into Me

You've got your ball,
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again.
Who's got their claws
In you, my friend?
Into your heart I'd beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock,
And sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you

Oh, and you come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

And oh, I kiss you just so I know
Oh, in your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy... for you.

Oh, and you come crash into me, yeah
Baby, please come crash into me
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

Oh, if I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
To forgive me
Oh, in my haste
When I'm holding you up girl,
Close to me

And you come crash into me, yeah
Baby, and I come into you
Oh, hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Yeah, hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

I watch you there
By the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing, but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted,
The way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash into me
Aw yeah, come crash into me, baby

Crash into me...
Crash into me...

You know, well, I'm the king of the castle,
You're the dirty rascal, crash into me.
Won't you come crash into me, baby...

The way you do, the way you do...
Oh yes, I see the waves
Come and crash into me.
Oh yes, I see the waves come and crash into me.
Crash into me...

Crash into me, baby...

Deed Is Done

Oh, so I'm praying all at night
And I wake up praying the whole daylight
I pray to you, and hear my request
I ask of you to save this baby
Oh, look at the girl
Awful inside, is cancer-eaten, is life-deprived,
And if so by who? Could it be you?
I see no need for a baby's wisdom for you

Oh, God, the girl, all yellow turned
Her cheeks are swollen, and soul is burned
Oh, but the girl, the girl is gone
And the deed is done, oh it must be wrong

Oh and I pray, my prayer's not heard
Could it be your death, death to mortal words?
Oh, and see her pain, and drain and drain
Could you be deaf, and blind my friend?
Oh, and so we hold
Cannot you not hear? Cannot you not see?
And if with words
You could change the way things are arranged
Surely you'd be speaking, speaking no change
Oh, but the girl, deaf, dumb, and blind
From the cancer burning deep down inside
Oh, but the deed is done
And the girl is gone
I see no faith
That I have won

Well, you may find your religion
You may find your attraction
You may go, for me the girl is gone

Oh, you may find you're faithful
You may find out the reaction
But to me, the baby's gone
The baby...
Hey... hey...

Lover Lay Down

Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
And slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me, won't you kiss me now?
And sleep I would inside your mouth

Don't be us too shy
For knowing it's no big surprise
That I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you

Oh please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hands your hands
So much we have dreamed
We were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger

A million reasons life to deny
Let's toss them away
See you and me, we
Lay down look see
She and he
By my lover's side
Together share this smile
Each other's tears to cry
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

Oh, please
Oh, please lover lay down
Oh, please lover lay down
And you weep
Lover lay down
Cause it's over
Lover lay down
Say lover, say lover, say lover, say lover, say lover

Could I love you,
Could you love me?

Darling, it's all the same
All the same...
'Til we dance away

Chasing me all around
Leading me all around in circles
Chasing me all around
Leading me all around in circles
Hey...

What Would You Say

Well, up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin

Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin

So rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by

What would you say
Don't drop the big one
You a monkey on a string
Don't cut my life line
If a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say

Well, I was there when the bear
Ate his head, he thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end

Knock, knock on the door
Who's it for, there's nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friend

I don't understand at best
Cannot speak for all the rest
But a morning rise, a lifetime's passed me by

What would you say
Yeah...
If you're a doggie on a chain
If you're a monkey on a string
What would you say

What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say

Minarets

Santa Maria, choose your children
Santa Maria, virgin child
All our wars over you we are fighting
And all our time faith justifying
Screaming from the minarets

Brother caged Babylon will fall
Sister chained and bound, beaten and bleeding
The TV's on, to me this explains it
Wearing a tie like daddy speaks it
Screaming from the minarets

Later on we'll all be dancing
Screaming from the minarets
Yes indeed I'm making faces

Rain on the ground in a space
God has grown
Alone till a man looking glass in his hand
He is holding up to you

What you see,
What you see,
What you see,
What you see is human

Screaming from the minarets.

Cry Freedom

How can I turn away
Brother, sister go dancing
Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days

Cry freedom cry
From a crowd ten thousand wide
Hope laid upon hope
That this crowd will not subside
Let this flag burn to dust
And a new, a fair design be raised
While we wait head in hands
Hands in prayer
And fall into a dreamless sleep again
And we wave our hands

Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
All slip away

There was a window and by it stood
A mirror in which
He could see himself
He thought of something
Something he had never had but hoped would come along
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside
Where we are all confined
While we wave hands in fire
Wave our hands

Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But wars between divide us
All slip away

In this room stood a little child
And in this room this little child
She would remain
Until someone might decide
To dance this little child
Across this hall
Into a cold, dark space
Where she might never trace her way
Across this crooked mile
Across this crooked page
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside
Where we are all confined
We wave our hands

How can I turn away
Brother, sister go dancing
Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days

Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
Hear, hear what I say
And we dance away

How can I turn away
Brother, sister go dancing
Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days

Dancing Nancies

I wonder if maybe I could have been a comedian or something
Or maybe I could have been a doctor
And then I could make anyone laugh
Or could I have been somebody
Other than myself
I wonder sometimes
I wonder

He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could I have been anyone other than me?

Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me?
And then I...

I look up at the sky
And my mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy

I am who I am who I am, well, who am I?
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me?
And then I'll...

Sing and dance I'll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out
And then I...

Will look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy

Falling out of a world of lies
Well, could I have been a Dancing Nancy?
A Dancing Nancy...
Ooh, I could have been anyone.
Could I have been anyone other than me?
And then I'll...

Sing and dance, la la la la hey, la la la la hey, la la la la
Sing and dance,
I'll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out
And then I...

Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy

Typical Situation

Ten fingers counting we have each
Nine planets around the sun repeat
Eight ball the last if you triumphant be
Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea

It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices, hey la
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices

Well, everybody's happy
And everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone will come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away

It all comes down to nothing...

Six senses feeling
Five around a sense of self
Four seasons turn on and turn off
I can see three corners from this corner
Two's a perfect number
But one...

Well, everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone'll come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away
Oh, everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone'll come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away

It all comes down to nothing...

It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices, hey la
A typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices
We can't do a thing about it
Oh, too many choices, hey la
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices...

Yeah, everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away

Everybody's happy

You wait and see
Everybody's different...
Everybody's different...
Everybody's same

Warehouse

Hey, reckless mind
Don't throw away your playful beggining
You and I will fumble around in the touches
And be sure to...

Leave all the lights on
Man, the black cat changing colors
And we can walk under ladders
And swim as the tide turns you around and around

Hey, we have found
Becoming one in a million
Slip into the crowd
This question I found in a gap in the sidewalk

Keep all your sights on
Man, the black cat changing colors
And we can walk under ladders
And swim as the tide choose to turn you

And here I sit
Life goes on, end of tunnel, TV set
Spot in the middle
Static fade, statistical bit
Soon I'll fade away, I'll fade away

Oh, but this I admit
Seems so good, hard to believe an end to it
Ware-- touch, feel
How could this rhythm ever quit?
Bags packed on a plane
Hopefully to Heaven
Away...

SHUTUP, I'm thinking
I had a clue now it's gone forever
Sitting over these bones
You can read in whatever you're needing to

Keep all your sights on
Man, the black cat changing colors
And not the colors that matter
But that we all fade away
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

And I...

(Scat)

They fade away,
I'll fade away

Oh, but so too hard to admit
All seems so good
I can't believe this could have been here
Oh, man and turn and...

(Scat)

Soon I'll fade away...
I'll fade away...

(Scat)

My love I love to stay here
My love I love to stay here...

Here inside the Warehouse
Where our blood is flowing
The Warehouse
Oh, where the hearts are bumping
The Warehouse
Everything seems to be glowing
The Warehouse
Wouldn't you love to stay here?
The Warehouse
Don't you love to stay here?
The Warehouse
Oh, we're overexcited
The Warehouse
Don't you love to stay here?
The Warehouse
Every man and woman look alive...

That's our blood down there
Seems poured from the hands of angels
Then trickle into the ground
Leaves the Warehouse so bare and empty

And my heart's numbered beat
Will echo in this empty room
And the fear wells in me
Yet nothing seems big enough to stay
So I'm going away...
Man, I'm going away...

Christmas Song

She was his girl
He was her boyfriend
She would be his wife
And make him her husband
A surprise on the way, any day, any day
One healthy, little giggling, dribbling baby boy
The wise men came, three made their way
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay
Shower him with love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love is all around

Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother Mary worried
Always out on his own
He met another Mary for a reasonable fee, less than
Reputable as known to be

His heart was full of love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed to the his tree
Said "oh, Daddy-o I can see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene
Instead I fear I spill the blood of my children all around"

The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
So the story goes, so I'm told
The people he knew were
Less than golden hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Like you and me

Rumors insisited he soon would be
For his deviations
Taken into custody by the authorities
Less informed than he.
Drinkers and jokers. all soul searchers
Searching for love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around

Preparations were made
For his celebration day
He said "eat this bread and think of it as me
Drink this wine and dream it will be
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around"
The blood of our children all around

Father up above, why in all this anger have you fill
Me up with love
Fill me love love love
Love love love
Love love
And the blood of our children all around

Seek Up

Sometimes I feel like I am falling...
Fall back again, fall back again...
Fall back again, fall back again...

Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we see, what we do
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Look at this crowd, nine thousand proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round about
About this merry-go-round and round
If at all God's gaze upon us fall
It's with a mischievous grin, look at Him

Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking...
Forget about the notion that
Our emotion can be kept at bay.
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead...
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Oh, look at me in my fancy car,
And my bank account...
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
Down to my grave, God knows I'd save and save
Man, take a look again, take a look again,
Things you have collected,
Well, in the end it all piles up so tall
To one big nothing, one big nothing at all

Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking...
Forget about the notion that
Our emotion can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion,
And your cup is overflowing.
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry.
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil's not going "Ha, ha, ha, ha."

Say, Oh Say...

Oh... Late at night, with TV's hungry child,
His belly swells...
Oh, for a price of a coke or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungy eyes
Man, take a look again, take a look again, take a look again,
Everyday things change, basically they stay the same

Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking...
Forget about the notion that
Our emotion can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion,
And your cup is overflowing...
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry...
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you,
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil's not going "Ha, ha, ha, ha."

Fall back again, fall back again...
Fall back again, fall back again...
Fall back again, fall back again...
Fall back again, ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
Fall back again.

Say Goodbye

So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl just tonight

Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away

And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tomorrow say goodbye

Ants Marching

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper

Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange

And all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way

Candyman teasing the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
Programs cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut, cut
On the fence, could not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Little Thing

Oh, hello and goodbye
So fast it's gone
I can't get your face from my mind
Can't get your eyes from my
Can't stop your voices
On that day you told me directions to where I don't know Now
It all flew by me
So all I can do is hope that you
Come my way

Oh, and you're nowhere near me
And wait
That you'll be there and hope that
With luck, I'll see you again

Oh, I didn't get your name
Nor you mine
Or the time of day
But you're stuck on me like a fly on a table
Oh, I'm waiting here where we stood for just a moment

And you stole my way
And I, and I wonder 'will I see you again?'
And way, way
Without the smile, the smile that blows away
The wait is too long
I want this thing to go on
And there's no way that I might find you again
I must walk a while

I'm all released by mine
Bump into each other
It seems so right
And say "hey,
Aren't you the,
Weren't you the,
Don't you think?"

But I don't think it's going to happen that way
I fear you'll remain a dream
Rain, rain on me, yeah, yeah, yeah
Your life is burned
Your life burned into me

Halloween

Lonely two chicken eyes open and staring up at me
Only two lonely eyes, so rare and raging...
Wind it would a come and she would leave you
Wind it would a come and she would go
Wind it would a come and she would leave you
Wind it would a come and she would go

Watch it man, leave it where you lie
I come for you, a-lightly, I suck up into your mind
We'll leaveit all behind I selling you a lonely, I march up into your eyes

Lonely two chicken eyes
Open and staring up at me...
Wait until my momma gonna see me with a you
Take a good look, momma, gonna see me with a you
Take a good look, mama, let me tell you well my momma said "Lie..."

Hey man watch it where you lie, i come into your psyche
You're sleeping - I'm in your mind filled waiting on desire
I was hoping we'd be lonely
I suck up into your...

Why do you run around here
To ask why do you run around me
To ask why do you run around here
Ask why, then, why, then,

I'm going away

Why this lonely, why this lonely
Why this lonely love
Why this lonely, why this lonely
Why this lonely love for me...
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on I will forget
Tell me are you satisfied with fucking?
Don't walk away (3X) I'm talking to...
Lovey don't
Lovey dove (3X)
Loving, I'll see you
Love, love, love
Love him, I see you
Love, Love, love
Love him - up to you.

Hello, how are you doing today?
I hope I find you feeling healthy
I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today
On our way into the night

I say it's love, it's hiding deep, deep down inside us all
So maybe, we'll shed a little love from deep inside
Love, it's not so tough if you come admit it too
Well, baby, you're hearts into a thousand pieces dashed

Stop only the old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can
'Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next pretty girl that comes my way

Here we are all of us stand around
We're leaning heavy on each other
Always wondering what is it lies behind
The worried eyes of the woman that I love

I believe it's love, it's hiding there in the shadows, in the darkness
Maybe we'll shed a little light and it will shine
So love, when I approach my tears they fall like rain
'Cause you know maybe, my heart into a thousand pieces dashed

Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can
'Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way

I say it's love, so share it out, share it fair, but share it now though
Maybe the things a better world that could be loved (?)
But love, when I approach the tears they fall like rain
You tell me baby, your heart into a thousand pieces dashed

Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can
I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way

Two Step

Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Say, love, you drive me to distraction

Oh, Helena, do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
Our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down

Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change

Change... oh, I want to change it...

Hey, Helena, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and, oh, you quench my mind and say:

Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short but
Sweet for certain
We climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot
Celebrate we will, you and me
Climb on two by two, to be sure
These days continue
Things we cannot change

Oh, Helena, I came to you
With best intentions
You laid down and gave to me
Just what I'm seeking
Say, love, watch me celebrate...
Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short
But sweet for certain
We climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change...
Things we cannot change.
