Covenant

Hey hey put me in your pocket for a day
Let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Hey hey, i could see the magic in your eyes,
There's a fire beneath these spanish skies,
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade

(instrumental)

Hey hey, let me mix you up a recipe, here's doctor love to give you therapy
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Out on the beach, blueprint of your soul, with the midnight of the city
A thousand eyes look down from space

(more instrumental)

Hey hey, put me in your pocket for a day, let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
(more instrumental, fading out eventually)

(intro)
Fool's gold, sparkling like the midnight sun
Fool's gold, touch the ivory handles on my gun
(sold out to me?), charlatans and thieves
(so wrong not to see?), jokers and the priests?
Fool's gold, stranded on a (point gloss?) sea
Fool's gold, nothing here and nothing to see
(sold out to me?), the weasels and the feared
(and it's so wrong not to see?), the ghosts of the disappeared
All gone away...

(instrumental)
Sometimes, when i'm touched by love, by hate, or by the grace of god
Sometimes, in the dark when hope is fading,
Or no longer flies,
I won't sympathize
Spend my time getting high

Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a christmas tree
Tired of living on my own, someone came and take me home

Sometimes, this jungle life is boring, pawing,
Ready for a feast, someone kill the beast
Outside, streets are teeming, breathing heavy,
Ready to explode, my brother's heavy load,
What you reap is what you sow

Someone came to rescue me
Lit up like a christmas tree
Stranded here on my own
Someone came to take me home

(instrumental)

Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a christmas tree
When i'm out here on my own, someone came and took me home

Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a christmas tree
Stranded here on my own, someone came and took me home

(instrumental fade out)

Oh it's been too many times and i can't go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to i don't want it at all
Lost you and i want you today

* misty green and blue
Love to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you

To be something, to be with you
Don't say that you'll never know
Love to love to love you

[instrumental]

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon's they rise and fall
Lost you and i want you today

* repeat

To be something, to be near you
I don't know where i'm goin' to
I've tried and i need you to stay

[instrumental]

(instrumental)
Windows are closing, you smell the track
Traffic is heavy
Up riding the rack
Bodies are buried, freeways and wells
Boneyards with vistas
Gateways to hell

When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line
Where no angels tread

Soldiers are gathering, not missing a beat
A poetry reading, while reaping the wheat
Out looking for venus
She's black marble on ice
Cut to precision
Weighted like dice

When it's all over, you'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread
Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't
The world and his dog, won't care if you don't

(instrumental)

When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread
Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't
The world and his dog won't care if you don't

When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread

(instrumental over and out!)

*
Lady love to hang on
Played it like a real intellectual
Sweet sister your still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window there you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head

Sidewalks of the city
Every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Louise fazenda and buster keaton [+++]
Over my head, so it's all

** out in the street for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes, your vaudeville carries on

--solo--

** repeat

(intro)
One more day, with a tumble fall,
Down the money pit, with nothing to show
Hey hey yeah
Another twist, in the horror tale
It's an open coffin, that needs one more nail
Smell of money

Maybe i'm a victim, (soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money
Attracts me to you...
Hey hey yeah money

Two clean shirts
I'm out on bail
As the barroom baits
They start to wail
The smell of money

Maybe i'm a victim, (soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money,
That brings me to you

Stretched out across the ceiling
?? domes shimmer and glow
Golden citadels
While the autumn wind billows and flows

(instrumental)

Dancing nights, in the lost and found
Move really nice to that money sound

Smell of money, smell of money,
Smell of money, smell of money
I need
I bleed
(sudden stop)

(intro) walking tall, full of tedious charm,
The smoothest (???) in (???)
The mission boys all cross their palms
Don't you know who i am

I guess you miss the lights? huh!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name

Little caesar is prince of the city
???
In this town there's no pity
This man stands alone

I guess you miss the lights - ha!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name

Sometimes when you're all alone
And the blue turns to gray
Better get down on those pinky knees,
And you start to pray

I guess you miss the lights - ha!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Kiss-kissing your name

(instrumental)

A glimmering ?, a twilight star
And so much love for show,
A returning wave from the gallery bar
And share the afterglow

I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
Ha!
I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss the fame, haha!
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name

(fade out music and chorus)
I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss everybody
Kiss-kissing your name

(instrumental intro)

Don't you really love her, don't you really care
You've been looking forever, how did she get you there

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon

Isn't she so pretty, isn't she so fine
Haven't you been blessed to hold her all the time

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon

(can't figure out this part)

(instrumental)

Have you found a heaven, try to see the worth,
Looking at the future, she's right here on earth

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon
(fade out)
