Hurry, Hurry - Don't be late
Train is rolling to the gate
Get your ticket - it's your pass
To the future from the past
Circus Circus Come with us

Won't keep you guessing, not for long
The days are short - the nights are long
Don't need no money or no time
Step right up and get in line
Circus Circus Come with us

Your bleak desert heart will bare fruit again
In the midst of strangers you call friends
Listen to your mind and lay your body down
Listen Listen Listen

Train is rolling - get on board
You're who we are waiting for
We'll walk with you out on the wire
And carry you away from fire
Circus Circus Come with us

I can see you - can you see through me
You don't know me
but I could give you an answer or two

Carpeting on your walls to keep out
the eastern pleasures that
ought to give you an answer or two -
an answer or two

You go round and round the garden
You go round and round the garden
You go round and round the garden
You go round and round until you've found the gate

Backwoods trampling are green with promises
Carry with you a stone to give you an answer or two -
an answer or two
La la la - you go trampling down roads
but don't get caught in the pit of certainty
Down without a clue
Down without a clue

You go round and round the garden
You go round and round the garden
You go round and round the garden
You go round and round until you've found the gate

Perceptional senses - down without a sound
Bring to you something that keeps you down

You can hear it through crystal callings
It wanders into you rich with casual answers for you
Rich with answers for you
Rich with answers for you
Rich with answers for you

All I wanted was to be with you
but I guess that all dreams can't come true
I wish upon the evening stars that shine
Hoping that someday you would be mine

But you like to hide in a storybook fantasy
Where castles stand tall by the sea
I cannot give you these things that you need
All I can give you is me

Sometimes you make me feel so insecure
You say you love me but I'm still not so sure
Then suddenly I find myself alone
Looking for the things that I'd done wrong

It's not fair that I should have this cross to bare
I am alone, I am confused, I'm waiting here with love to share
Hurts me so; I cannot stand to see you go
I love you still - I can't let go
I never will let you go

So, if you think you have to say goodbye

I'd give you anything for a new experience
I'd give you my left wing for a new experience
I'd give you 15 bucks for a new experience
I'd give you all my lust for as new experience
Oh...this scene's getting old and I want to go home
I can't complain; can't get blood from a stone
I'd give you human kindness for a new experience
I'd give you words that rhyme for a new experience
give you half my time for a new experience
I'd give you just one line for a new experience
Oh...my patience is ending; my nerves are on end.
There's nothing to finish, nothing to begin
I'd get lost on a ride, but I don't have a car
If contentment was food, I would probably starve.
I'd give you anything in the world for a new experience
I'd swim the channel, shore to shore, for a new experience
Package myself in the mail for a new experience
I'd even spend a night in jail...that's an old experience
If you're going to San Francisco
be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco,
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you

>>back to top

Give me back my secrets
and I'll give you back your lies
Since the day you said hello
I've waited for goodbye
You keep running me around in circles
pulling on the strings of my heart
why don't you just go ahead and finish
the games that you been playing with my heart

Give me back my freedom
and I'll give you back your fame
I don't feel the need to play in
all your silly games
Night after night I've attempted to break free
Time after time I've tried
To vanish into the night

Into the night, Into the night
I will wonder into the night
You shattered my dreams and strangled my will
Now I'm wondering Into the Night

I've had enough of your glory
Besides I don't have the time
For anyone whose been as heartless as you've been
At least someone's got pride
Night after night I've attempted to break free
Time after time I've tried
to vanish into the night

Into the Night, Into the Night
I will wonder into the night
You shattered my dreams and shattered my will
Now I'm wondering Into the Night

What have we here - another situation comedy
Enter hope - blind faith looking for prosperity
Open up your eyes to blinders on either side
Open, open, open, open up and let them try
Stop me, stop me, stop me before you leave
Stop me, stop me in this Long Love Century

You toy with me - I'll be your soldier of wood
I am the little train that never could
So, I've got some problems with you
I've got them with me, too
Just give me one more day in this Long Love Century
Stop me, stop me, stop me before you leave
Stop me, stop me in this Long Love Century

You're building fires under me
Provocation set me free
You're building fires under me
In this Long Love Century

I once was lost, but now am I found by you
I once was free, but now am I bound by you
Nothing's free, and nothing comes quite that easily
I guess it's just another day in this Long Love Century
Stop me, stop me, stop me before you leave
Stop me, stop me in this Long Love Century

You're building fires under me
Provocation set me free
You're building fires under me
In this Long Love Century

His eyes were the color of his car
I'm doing cartwheels in the yard
Today ain't gonna go too far
'Cause I've got a hand in the big black bag
I've got a hand in the big black bag

Some cars are big and some are small
I'm smoking someone's old cigar
The years roll by - you can't go back
When you've got a hand in the big black bag
When you've got a hand in the big black bag

Traffic's slow - music has no soul
So, I dress in someone else's clothes
It's not a joke - there could be no mistake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I pray the Lord my soul to take

Now I am not - I stand alone
No ground beneath my feet
And he envisions he's in black
And he's got a hand in the big black bag
He's got a hand in the big black bag

Take a yellow taxi into the yellow sun
It's a reason put away - It's a reason taken
Take a yellow taxi into the yellow sun
It's a reason put away - it's a reason taken
It's a reason put away

I think of you, and my heart stands still
Doesn't hurt me now, but I know it will
It's just a matter of time
Before you turn I'll make you mine
But I can't wait Until The Day

I want you now, but you're not here
Still the message is quite clear
You'll come back on bended knee
Sobbing and throbbing just for me
But I can't wait until the day

Doesn't matter what you say
I'm still gonna feel this way
You see, baby, It's alright if you don't care
'Cause I'm not going anywhere Until The Day

I'll be here when you return
I'm waiting for you 'cause I know you'll learn
that I'm the best thing you can get
Hell, I'm the only one you've had yet
But I can't wait Until the Day
Until The Day

I wish I was under the Memphis sky
with plenty of stars to see
'Cause If I was under the Memphis sky
I know that you couldn't find me
Yes, I know that you couldn't find me
You'd search for weeks, well, maybe months
You're the type that don't get discouraged
And I'd run for weeks, well, maybe months
I'm the type that don't have no courage
I'm the type that don't have no courage
You'd search for me over hill and dale
In soup lines and in the gutter
You might come close, but close ain't commendable
When you're in the arms of another
When you're in the arms of another
I'd leave you my phonebook so you could try
to find me at all my friends houses
but I'd make up their names and I'd make up their numbers
Yea, I'd even make up their addresses
I'd even make up their addresses
You'd search for me over hill and dale
In soup lines and in the gutter
You might come close, but close ain't commendable
When you're in the arms of another
When you're in the arms of another
You might start a-looking
Don't spend all your money
You might find it cheaper to fly
I told all my friends to not tell you
That I'm under the Memphis Sky
That I'm under the Memphis Sky
I'm under the Memphis Sky

All your dreams- fast asleep
in a room somewhere
Jungle floors creak beneath
and a rocking chair
Your waiting for your hero to free fall
out of the sky and into your lap
I don't know why
You set the lions and tigers free from the zoo
You were expecting Tarzan to gather them up for you
You don't realize the time, do you?
Jane, you're taking the back way up to your door
Jane, you're knocking, but the man with the monkey
don't live there anymore
Time has cast taller shadows over the path that led you
Back into an developing concrete jungle
You're looking for your hero - he's nowhere around
He's left the tropics and moved to higher ground
Don't keep searching through trees
You should decide to leave, 'cause
waiting is not for those who feed on mystery
Jane, you're taking the back way up to your door
Jane, you're knocking, but the man don't live there anymore
Jane, you're taking the back way

The first 24 years were spent
trying to lose track of
the endless amount of time and
of course the endless accounts on memory

She was a master at escape
Houdini had nothing on her
not even age because
she was immortal and
she wasn't scared of nothin'
but life

She was tricked into thinking
that the magic would never die
would never disappear
not for love or money and
she pushed all the buttons
and she broke all the strings and
she split all the atoms in the ring and
her energy never stopped coming never
stopped humming electricity in her veins like
a power junkie strung out for lack
of anyone else's life to live and
when the warnings were rendered she
laughed in the face of death and said
How can death find my door when I don't even have a home?
How can he find me when I can't even find myself?

Coffee and cigarettes
Inside the fire's burning low
No work and little rest
Counting stars through my window
You were a part of me
But I could never look me in the eye
I left you leaving me
But I could never stay with me at night
Your answers question me
But then I never had a clue
I'm still a mystery
And I am still inside where I lost you
Left here with me alone
The conversation is a bore
I pay for all my crimes
And then in seconds I commit more
Your eyes still follow me
But then I always ran to you
I'm still a mystery
And I am still inside where I lost you
Resolved are you and I
So say the books that I have read
I lost some faith somewhere
I can't believe in every word it said
Someday I'll write a song
And tell you how I feel for you
But the words come too slow
Counting stars through my window
Coffee and cigarettes
Inside the wind begins to blow
No work and little rest
Counting stars through my window

I'm working on a sure thing
Been wearing out my mood ring
Changing hues of dark green jewels
Lead my eyes to the next sunrise
Been dancing on a red wire
Suspended over blue fire
Suspect grows like a nurtured rose
Taste the truth of your misspent youth
And if I'm falling down
Please don't let me know
And if I come undone
I'll try not to let it show
I'm dreaming of a white light
Surrounded by a dark night
Tempt the fate
Of my pearly gate
Bright orange glow
Of my hell below
And if I'm falling down
Please don't let me know
And if I come undone
I'll try not to let it show
I'm working on a sure thing

Hello, New Day, come in
Tell me why you're coming around
Will you bring me a sunny morning
or will you just bring me down

How's about a cup of coffee
How's about the morning news
Oh no, New Day is much too fragile
I think it would give him the blues

New Day is coming
but he cannot stay for long
New Day, please come in
and sing to me your New Day Song

Hey, New Day, are you in mourning
Is it a blue day after all
If I could share your melancholy
Too sentimental in the fall

New Day is coming
but he cannot stay for long
New Day, please come in
and sing to me your New Day Song

It's all coming down in 32 seconds
Like rain on your blue velvet coat
You run to find cover, you search for another
New shelter where your ship can float

But then the bow breaks and your roof is mistaken
For a brown leather show full of holes
You don't know who to trust, you don't know where to go
And the government is moving too slow

Oh no, room to grow
Won't you try not to let disappointment show
Oh no, room to grow
Won't you try not to let disappointment show

Your children are crying and your will is dying
In site you can see no relief
Cause housing is one thing, but a home is another
For that much you'd stick to the streets

Newspaper blankets and barrel fireplaces
The concrete gets cool in you fall
You've got a career and you're making a living
but your riches are uncountable
cause you've got pride and you've got character and you've got a name
Even if nobody knows, Oh

Well, it's all coming down in 32 seconds
Like rain on your blue velvet coat
Even if nobody knows
Won't you try not to let it show

If Jesus had AIDS
he'd have hung from the mast
of a pirate ship
skull*cross*bones*flesh

All diseased and forsaken
savior of woman
savior of man
outcast just the same
strung up and flying like
a flag a-blowing in the wind
flesh and bones
skull and cross

Disciples wearing rubber gloves
Judas preaching republicanism
mother Mary awaiting test results of
flesh and bone
skull and

Cross the red sea to Hades
his duty to save me
degradation and an untimely demise
all diseased and forsaken
son of god
skull and cross
bones and flesh
if Jesus had AIDS
