When Kindness Fails
Robert Earl Keen

I crossed the desert on a dining car
In the spring of ninety-one
I met some people drinking at the bar
They were laughing having fun
I told 'em that I hadn't heard the joke
That was so hilarious
They said that I was just a dumb cowpoke
I didn't want to make a fuss

So I shot 'em down
One by one
Then I left 'em 'long the rails
I use my gun
Whenever kindness fails

The moon was in the sign of Scorpio
The sun was at my back
I didn’t know how far the train would go
Until the law would find my track
I saw the brakeman and the engineer
Drinking wine and eating brie
I asked 'em who would brake and who would steer
They started pointing back at me

So I shot 'em down
One by one
Then I left 'em 'long the rails
I use my gun
Whenever kindness fails

I only have a moment to explain
Just a chance to let you know
When it's time for you to board the train
There are two ways you can go
You can ride the wheels into the sun
Feel the wind upon your face
Or you can laugh into a loaded gun
and you'll likely lose your place

So I shot 'em down
One by one
Then I left 'em 'long the rails
I use my gun
Whenever kindness fails

Yeah I shot 'em down
One by one
Then I left 'em 'long the rails
When I use my gun
That lonesome whistle wails

Fear lives on a Mountain and Ravages our Dreams

Uncertain Hero you'll win the Day
Violent accounting, Fortune's array!

Into the Mighty Arms of Death
Into the Darkness we fall
Into the Mighty Arms of Death
Into the Darkness we fall... we fall... we fall...
In Darkness.... Descend!

Summoning The Powers

[MUSIC BY: DAVID DEFEIS & EDWARD PURSINO]

[KLYTEMNESTRA'S SPIRIT:]
Spirit of the Air... Remember
Spirit of the Earth... Hear my Prayer
Spirit of the Seas... I Summon thee
To the One who has no Name
Veiled is the Night, bright are the Eyes of the Dead
Fire and Water... cleanse... purify
Great Spirit of Power, hear now my Commands
Grant every Wish of Blood... Blood!

Gods of the Dead feel my Rage, enter the Circle of my Sacrifice
Take on the World, free the Plagues with the Smoke of your Word
Dark is the Vision that Burns in my Heart
Kill from within, Conjure the Seven who stand on the Mountains of Dawn
I am the Flame

Spirit of the Air... Remember
Black Gods of the Sun...

Cry out to me, steal the Thrones and the Powers of Him
Black is the Vision of all we despise
Slide on the Wind, Great is the Power that comes in the Back of the Night
I am the Flame

Spirit of the Air... Remember
Black Gods of the Sun, cry to me
Spirit of the Sea, know thy suffering
Black Gods of the Sun, hear my Cry!

Gods of the Silence, Gods of the Damned
Offer no Mercy, withdraw your Hand

Gods of the Silence, Gods of the Sand
Shorn of your Glory, Kill on Command

Gods of the Dead, feel my Rage, enter the Circle of my Sacrifice
Take on the World, She who Reings in the Palace of Night
Dark is the Vision that Burns in my Heart
Gilde down the Stars, feel my Hate
Outcasts of Heaven we meet in the City Below, I am the Flame

Spirit of the Air. Remember
Black Gods of the Sun, cry to me
Spirit of the Earth, know thy suffering
Black Gods of the Sun, HEAR MY CRY !!!

Life Among The Ruins

[Music and lyrics: De Feis]

Gunfire up in heaven no religion here
ruin your salvation, the last sound that you'll hear
the snap of the noose the crack of the whip
the hangman's face is torn
in shameless crucifixion a savage nation's born

Behold the new messiah, arising from the wound
in rags of execution freedom is consumned

You are a rose, you are a blade
I'm down on my knees in the dark in the fiery reign
life among the ruins

I've lived among the ruins walked among the dead
loved among the wreckage beneath a flag of red
communion of blood so bitter the cup
a union born of fear
creation and perdition a world within a tear

Behold the new messiah, arising from his bed
holier in silence, paler than the dead

[Chorus]

With the dying sun of autumn bathing us in gold
we walk the desolation hand in hand against the cold
while rampant runs the reaper all thru the barren plains
with sycthe in hand he reaches to harvest the last remains
in agony you stumble with a curse upon your lips you die
I can't feel you anymore
vengeance is mine!

Resurrection Day (The Finale)

[MUSIC BY DAVID DEFEIS & EDWARD PURSINO]

[ORESTES' SPIRIT:]
Fire and Water, victims change
Seasons learning, nothing's gained
Now the time has come... Apparition waiting
Before the Hours of Doom approaching lies...
In these Hallowed Halls Sanctuary reach me
Before the Hour of Doom's approaching Lights...

[ATHENA:]
And the Dark Gods awaken into the Sun
And Their Darkness is frozen fortunate one
They will not heal, they now will follow
The Sacred Light and Sound!

[ATHENA:]
Angry now but you are not beaten down
Whispered Wind the Verdict leaves him un-bound
In the flowing course of Time a greater Honour for thee
Will be found on the Shores of my Country
Power surge echoes down from the Sky
Raise your fist, cultivate Noble Lives
Clothe Them now in garments dyed
Matching Gold of the Sky
Bold enough to sleep where They lie

[ATHENA & CAST:]
Rise up rise again after the RING OF FIRE
You'll see Them recover Their Honour and Grace
Rise up ride the Wind this is the End of Violence
Believe in the Sunlight on this Chosen Night

[ORESTES:]
I'm returning slowly to the ground (It's RESURRECTION DAY)
Returning slowly to the ground!

[All:]
Rise up rise again after the Reign of Terror
The Skies are proclaiming the City is Blest
Rise up ride the Wind after the RING OF FIRE
The Moment of Never on this Frozen Night.
The Curse Walks among you.

Rise up rise again after the Reign of Terror
You'll see Them recover the Garden of Life
Rise up ride the Wind after the RING OF FIRE
The Bond of the Goddess Guards this Chosen Night

Rise up ride the Wind after the RING OF FIRE
The Skies are proclaiming the City is Blest
Rise up ride the Wind after the Reign of Terrord
With Fortune inside us on this Dawn of Night

[Citizens of Athens:]
We're Alive the Gods arrive, the Cracks of Doom roll by
Steer the course that Pallas walks don't let the Violence fall
Under the Spell of Darkness or Light
We are proven now Fortune rides on Our Side.
Descend to Paradise it's narrow, Virgin Bright - Endless Night
[Erynes:]
Guide the Rings of the Sun, now We are All Forms in One !!!

[All:]
Victory in the Sunlight of Union Above and Below

[Athena:]
Sacrosanct Lords of the Skies, Revere the Queen of Remorse
Wielding the Signs of Grace, the Signs of Faith
And Their Darkness Aligns with Your Rays !!!

[All:]
Victory, in the Sunlight of Union We Stand !!!

[Orestes' Spirit & Cast:]
I'm returning slowly to the ground (It's Resurrection Day)
Returning slowly to the ground !
To the Ground !!!

The Tracks Of My Tears - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.

People say I'm the life of the party
Cos' I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Since you left me
If you've seen me woth another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she maybe cute
Shwe's just a substitute because
You're my permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

People say I'm the life of the party
Cos' I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my hope is fading
Just a clown, since you put me down
My smile is make - up
I wear since my break up with you

So baby, baby take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Captain Jack
Billy Joel

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
You're tired of livin' in your one horse town
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground for a while

So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic magazine, and you smile

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
Oh yeah, yeah

Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
And you just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon,
But you just can't wait, for that call

So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
But still your fingers gonna pick your nose, after all

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
Oh yeah, yeah

So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah, but there's no place to go anyway and what for
You've got everything, but nothin's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school anymore

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
La da, da
Oh yeah, yeah

So you play your albums and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh, but still you're aching for the things you haven't got,
What went wrong

And if you can't understand why your world is so dead
And why you've got to keep in style and feed your head
Well, you're twenty one and still you mother makes your bed
And that's too long

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight

ASHES TO ASHES - David Bowie

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing


C: Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

C: Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low


REPEAT:My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

King In Crimson

[Bruce Dickinson / Roy Z.]

In the darkness, the raven's head
In the courtyard clothed in fear
I see gates that are opening
There's only one way out of here

Daylight has come
The night has come

See his twisted sons and daughters
Writhing slowly in Satan's mire
If you only could see the visions
The trembling world I now despise

As the veil reveals the outer darkness
I am sucked into the walls of flame

Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise awake

The King in Crimson, crimson comes
He knows the weakness that you can't fight
The stone of night that weighs you down
If only you could see the visions
His hand is death if you take it now

As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you now

Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake

The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes

Arise, awake

The King in Crimson, crimson comes
As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you now

Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake

The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson, crimson comes

To your window he comes
At your window I come

[Bruce Dickinson / Roy Z.]

There are twelve commandments
There are twelve divisions
Twelve are the pagans who have mapped the sky

In the outer circle
To the inner sanctum
From the octave at the end of time

The fountain, the trinity
The pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The stone of infinity, washed in the flood

Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the hanged man smiles

Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide

In the atom circle
Where we break the stars
Hammer into anvil, stuffing out the sun

Witness all the killing
See the birth of Mars
Our religion thrown into the fire

The fountain, the trinity
The pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The stone of infinity, washed in the flood

Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The hanged man smiles

Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The magician laughs

Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the priestess kneels

Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide

Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the hanged man smiles

Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide

Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The priestess kneels to receive

Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The magician laughs

Book Of Thel

[Bruce Dickinson / Roy Z. / Eddie Casillas]

The mark is on you now
The furnace sealed inside your head
Melting from the inside now
Waxy tears run down your face

The whore that never told her tale
Relives it every night with you
Far off stands the lamb and waits
For the wolf to come and end its life

Stand inside the temple

As the book of Thel is opening

The priestess stands before you

Offering her hand out, she's rising

Come the dawning of the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core

Serpent on the altar now
Has wrapped itself around your spine
So you look into its mouth
And you kiss the pearly fangs divine

Happy that your end is swift
The weeping virgin cries in bliss
The snake and priestess, they are one
The veil of flesh is ripped undone

Stand inside the temple

As the book of Thel is opening

The priestess stands before you

Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core

By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
And when sleep takes you tonight
Will you wake to see the light?

The burning sweat of poison tears
The river flowing red with blood
The cradle-robbing hand of death
Caresses every dreaming head

Waiting for the marriage hearse
To take you to the funeral pyre
So you burn the family tree
The generations burning higher

Stand inside the temple

As the book of Thel is opening

The priestess stands before you

Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core

By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
And when sleep takes you tonight
Will you wake to see the light

By the dawning of the dead
By the dawning of the dead
By the dawning of the dead
By the dawning of the dead

The Alchemist

[Bruce Dickinson / Roy Z.]

Wash away the blackness with the silver rain
Don't turn away, don't turn away

Wash away the blackness with the silver rain
Don't turn away, don't try to hide

Sulphurous and burning, spitting out the sun
The beginning of creation, of the golden one
A window to the west, a blazing star above
In Taurus we begin it and the ladder has begun

Don't try and blame me for your sins
For the sun has burned me black
Your hollow lives, this world in which we live
I throw it back

Four-headed dragon for the four degrees of fire
Purify the insane, bring the solution ever higher
Bring me all the elements, spread them round my head
Bring me mad men's bodies, I will break them all like bread

Don't try and blame me for your sins
For the sun has burned me black
Your hollow lives, this world in which we live

I hurl it back

Don't try and blame me for your sins
For the sun has burned me black
Your hollow lives - this world in which we live

I throw it back

Don't try and blame me for your games
Your games are death
My world is light, the angels fill my eyes

With every breath
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our chemical wedding day

Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me us so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

Killing Floor

[Bruce Dickinson / Adrian Smith]

So this is dreamtime, and all is quiet
So this is dreamtime, and all is night
You've never been held by the hand of God
Who's rocking the cradle, if he is not?

He turned the oil into his blood
Panzer divisions burning in the mud
The stain of freedom, he's washed it out
Who's rocking the cradle, I have no doubt

Sleeping eyes awake
To see his hooded gaze
Whispers on the wind
The darker side of ecstasy

Satan has left his killing floor

Satan has left his killing floor

Satan, his fires burn no more

Satan has left his killing floor
So now it's dreamtime for you tonight
So now it's dreamtime, and all is quiet
You've never been held by the hand of god
Who's rocking your cradle, if he is not?

Sleeping eyes awake
To see his hooded gaze
Whispers on the wind
The never-ending breath goodbye

Satan has left his killing floor

Satan, his fires burn no more

Satan is coming back for more

Satan has left his killing floor

Precious Jerusalem
By BLIND GUARDIAN

No doubt, doubt

No longer need to hide it
I've found out who I am
I'm moved around in circles
I rise and fall again

I know it well
Every word I tell
Seems to make no sense at all

Words
Will heal it
Love
Will conquer the
Hearts of the hopeless the almighty is still alive

Risin' up from the heart of the desert
Risin' up from Jerusalem
Risin' up from the heat of the desert
Building up old Jerusalem
Risin' up from the heart of the desert
Risin' up from Jerusalem
Risin' up from the heat of the desert
Heading out for Jerusalem

I've gone beyond but there's no life
And there is nothing how it seems
I've gone beyond but there's no life
There is no healing rain in Eden
The empty barren wasted paradise
Let's celebrate the dawning of the Sun

I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can't change fate

Son of man
(You truly are mine)

Can't stand the pain
No more grief and misery
It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Father stop it now
We must stop it now

You really think you are half way up
I would not mind if you were right
(It's not sure)
I'd rather say you are half way down
So I am going to help you if I can

I've been caught in wilderness in wilderness
I've get out well
I found myself in desert lands in desert lands
But you've been on my mind

I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can't change truth

Rise up and follow me cause I will bring the light
Rise up and follow me wake up and clear your mind
I try to bring it back the seed of life
I try to bring it back the seal of light

So if you say there's no faith in man
You better keep in mind
That I can read between the lines
My heavy burden brings eyesight to the blind

I've been caught in wilderness in wilderness
I've get out well
I found myself in desert lands in desert lands
But you've been on my mind

I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can't change me

Punishment Divine
By BLIND GUARDIAN

It's warm and tender but very soon it will turn cold
Shadows stare down from the walls
Out of the mist it's coming closer now
It never rains -- it pours on me
So let the saints
Set up the courtyard, the unpleasant cage
The obvious point is...

I'm insane

Was I aware whom I have slain,
I fear I was:
The faceless
The nameless
The bush set on fire
No one ever dared to speak
"Shame on me, I don't believe
The here and now Is all we're living for"

Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
By one false move it's blown away
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
Their voices cease it's gone away
Vanished to the point of no return
Vanished to the point of no return

Witness my last breath
I do not regret
A word I've said
The strong will survive
The weak must die

And out of the mist
It's coming closer now
Sinner and saints --
The grateful slaves

Nature's law instead of God in heaven

From far beyond
I can hear them sing
I hear angels sing
Songs of innocence
I hear the angel sing

Despite the facts are clear
It cannot be, what we can't see
I must admit, it sounds so sweet

Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
By one false move it's blown away
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
Their voices cease it's gone away
Vanished to the point of no return
Vanished to the point of no return

Angels sing
(Can hear them sing)
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing
(Can hear them sing)
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing
(Can hear them sing)
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing
I hear angels sing

Far beyond I hear them sing
("It's true) it's true
We don't exist"
From far beyond I hear them sing
("It's true) it's true
We don't exist"

Well we all know there's no other side
It's good and evil
I know right between, there's no borderline
This is the punishment divine

Surrounded by night, I've been offered insight
There is none but the sin of pride
Am I wrong am I right? Am I losing my sight?
Abandoning the superior mind

Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
By one false move it's blown away
Joyful it seems but
Then suddenly
Their voices cease it's gone away
Vanished to the point of no return
Vanished to the point of no return

(Right away)
Through the valleys grey
(I will be gone)
Through the shapeless land I walk alone
(I will be gone)
I'm left alone
(I will be gone)
Through the deepest void, a blackened paradise
(I will be gone)
I walk alone, I'm left alone

 

[Simon Darkshade]

IN A BROKEN DREAM - Python Lee Jackson

Every day I spend my time
Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
Waitin' here to find the sign
That I can understand
Yes I am.

In the days between the hours
Ivory towers, bloody flowers
Push their heads in to the air
I don't care if I ever know
There I go

Don't push your love too far
Your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are
In a broken dream
Did someone bow their head ?
Did someone break the bread ?
Good people are in bed
Before nine o'clock.

On the pad before my eyes
Paper cries, tellin' lies
The promises you gave
From the grave of a broken heart
Hmm

Every day I spend my time
Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
Waitin' here to find the sign
That I can understand
Yes I am. Oh.

I sit here in my lonely room

Don't push your love too far
You know your wounds won't even leave a scar
Right now is where you are
In a broken dream
And don't you forget what I say

Hoo, hoo

STREET FIGHTING MAN - The Rolling Stones


Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy
'Cause the summer's here
and the time is right for
fighting in the street boy

Hey think the time is right
for a palace revolution
Where I live the game to play
is just to compromise my solution

What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no other place
for a street fighting man

Hey did I tell you that my name
was called disturbance
And I'll shout and scream
and I'll kill the king and
I'll rail at all his servants

What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no place
for a street fighting man

Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy
'Cause the summer's here
and the time is right for
fighting in the street boy

What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no other place
for a street fighting man


PINBALL WIZARD - The Who

Ever since I was a young boy,
I played the silver ball;
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played 'em all.
But I ain't seen nothin' like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feelin' all the bumpers
Always playin' clean.
Plays by intuition,
the digit counters fall.
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist,
A pinball wizard,
got such a supple wrist.

How do you think he does it?
What makes him so good?
Ain't got no distractions,
Can't hear those buzzes and bells,
don't see lights aflashin'
plays by sense of smell.
Always gets a replay,
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.

Even my usual table,
He can beat my best,
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest.
He's got crazy flipper' fingers,
never seen him fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.

Waterloo - Abba

My, my
At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you forever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

My my
I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
Oh yeah
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you forever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

Horse With No Name - America

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

You Ain't Goin Nowhere - The Byrds (Written by Bob Dylan)

Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin nowhere
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, Oh are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair

I don't care
How many letters they send
Morning came and morning went
Pack up your money
Pick up your tent
You ain't goin nowhere
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, Oh are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair

Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself
To a tree with roots
You ain't goin nowhere
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, Oh are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair

Now Genghis Kahn
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, Oh are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair

Here Without You - The Byrds


Daytime just makes me feel lonely
At night I can only dream about you
you're on my mind
Nearly all of the time
It's so hard being here without you.
Words in my head keep repeating
Things that you said when I was with you.
And I wonder is it true
Do you feel the same way too
It's so hard being here without you
Being here without you
Oh I know this won't last
I'll see you someday
It seems as though that day will come never
But there's one thing I'll swear
Though you're far away
I'll be thinking about you forever
Streets that I walk on depress me
Ones that were happy when I was with you
Still with all the friends I know
And with all the things I do
It's so hard being here without you
Being here without you.

Mr. Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, Play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you

Take me for a trip upon your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, Play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you

All I Really Want To Do - The Byrds/Bob Dylan

I ain't lookin' to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy, or crucify you
All I really want to do
Is baby be friends with you

No, I ain't lookin' to fight with you
Frighten you or tighten you
Drag you down or drain you down
Chain you down or bring you down
All I really want to do
Is baby be friends with you

I don't want to fake you out
Take or shake or forsake you out
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me
See like me or be like me

I don't want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or disect you
Or inspect you or reject you
All I really want to do
Is baby be friends with you


Mr. Spaceman - The Byrds



Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why

Must be those strangers that come every night
Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right

Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite wierd
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, So long, we'll see you again

Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride
