1. _ Under The Gun [for Jeffrey Lee Pierce]
I still can picture him: his hands in his back pockets.
He wasn't much for words, but when the wise kids made a racket he'd just have to go downtown, throw his weight around before starting over.
"say did you hear i've got a band?
Some guys i know from l.a.
We'll own the rio grande.
I'll pay you back next friday.
You know it sure ain't big, just some cats i dig.
They said they'd do the gig."
Oh desperado, why don't you spend your life in colorado?
Oh restless shadow, out in the blue hills you're feeling hollow.
Oh el diablo, why did you spend your life in california?
I should have warned ya.
No place to go now but falling over.
Some hands can't make it on the run, under the gun.
Not for the younger.
Oh jack daniels, i feel your hunger.
I know you did your best, but you thought that you did not.
I wish that i had known before i heard the last shot.
You know, it's not a sin, that little badge of tin.
Just a momento.
So sad you loved in vain.
My comrades lost in battle.
The music wars are done from london to seattle.
We all pay to play and all our yesterdays are starting over.
Oh desperado, why don't you spend your life in colorado?
Oh restless shadow, out on the blue hills you're feeling hollow.
Oh el diablo, why did you spend your life in california?
I should have warned ya.
No place to go now but falling over.
Ready to die.
Now he's ready to die.

2. _ Dreaming
When I met you in the restaurant You could tell I was no debutante You asked me what's my pleasure A movie or a measure? I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming Dreaming is free I don't want to live on charity Pleasure's real or is it fantasy? Reel to reel is living rarity People stop and stare at me We just walk on by - we just keep on dreaming Feet feet, walking a two mile Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile I never met him, I'll never forget him Dream dream, even for a little while Dream dream, filling up an idle hour Fade away, radiate I sit by and watch the river flow I sit by and watch the traffic go I'magine something of your very own Something you can have and hold I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming Dreaming is free Dreaming Dreaming is free Dreaming Dreaming is free more free lyrics

4. _ Shayla
Shayla worked in a factory.
She wasn't history.
She's just a number.
One day she gets her final pay and she goes far away.
Green trees call to me.
I am free but life is so cheap.
Scenery is still outside of me.
All alone, trapped by its beauty.
Shayla turned to run away, to leave in peace and end her stay.
Years of fear were in her way.
Lost in space and down she came.
Suddenly some subtle entity, some cosmic energy, brushed her like shadows.
Down here we stop to wonder.
Cars on the freeway.
Bright lights and thunder.

6. _ Heart Of Glass
Once i had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a heart of glass.
Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.
Once i had a love and it was divine.
Soon found out i was losing my mind.
It seemed like the real thing but i was so blind.
Mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.
In between "what i find is pleasing" and "i'm feeling fine", love is so confusing.
There's no peace of mind if i fear i'm losing you.
It's just no good, you teasing like you do.
Lost inside adorable illusion and i cannot hide.
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside.
We coulda made it cruising, yeah.
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light.
Once i had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out to be a pain in the ass.
Seemed like the real thing only to find mucho mistrust.
Love's gone behind.

7. _ No Exit
There's no sin in this: getting dressed to kill, laughing down the sun like a jackal will.
With his eyes ablaze and his lips apart he's gonna fill his cup with the love in your heart and drink it up til the morning starts.
Circulate the red light vistas.
Get the girls and get their sisters.
Pinch em up and give em blisters.
Kiss em fierce with all his might, forever.
Bye bye to another life.
Bye bye to another life.
Bye bye to another life.
Bye bye to another life.
Standing on the verge of the edge of the ledge, waiting for me to fall, but then i got a call.
It said "wait, hold up homie!
You must be trippin!
You can't be putting that simpin and whimpin up in your pippin!
You better stand tall, fool you was born to ball.
Took a little fall and now you wanna end it all!
You've been chasing dreams like a hound dog on the hunt.
Take your place in the front.
Put your hand on the pump.
And it's right in your grasp, man.
I know they're laughing, but you'll be laughing later cuz time's are gonna get greater.
You's a player, and when i say player i mean player cuz your daddy and your uncle was a player.
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Put yourself in your position.
You ain't wishin for no food and no warmth and no light, so you must be doing all right.
But wait a minute!
Something's wrong.
It's lunatic, it's mad, insane!
Busted like a water main.
Indulgence in another vein.
What they're saying round the neighborhood is what he's drinking's not aged in wood.
He's filling out.
He's all growed up.
He's all blowed up.
He's gotten fat.
He's filling out.
He's all growed up.
He's all blowed up.
He's gotten fat.
Sure enough at the midnight lounge there's a dent in the seat where the vampire sat.
Bye bye to another life.
Bye bye to another life.
Living dead is doing time, like drowning on the circle line.
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Cry over you?
Tell me would they lie for you?
Die for you?
You're hoping that it's true for you do for you, fool.
But who's gonna cry?

8. _ Screaming Skin
Following my lust for wander everywhere i've ever been, i can't escape the sound of it - the sound of my screaming skin.
My skin cries.
My blood sighs.
I still owe some dread on this hide.
Following my trust in wonder i watch the circus begin.
I can't ignore the scent of it - the scent of my screaming skin.
My skin cries.
My blood sighs.
I still owe some dread on this hide.
La la la la la la la.
La.
La la la la la la la.
I'm a multicellular individual.
You're way out of proportion!
We've got the hemodynamic connection.
Don't call me germ!
Allowing for my strength to muster.
My losses begin to win.
Tropical winds start to bluster, raising the fur on my skin.
My skin cries.
My spirits fly.
But i still owe some dread on this hide.
Oooh.
Yeah!
I'm a multicellular individual.
You're way out of proportion!
We've got the hemodynamic connection.
And don't call me germ!
Swallowing my pride no longer, i take the forbidden sun.
If i have been sculpted by hunger, i'm not the only one.
My skin cries.
My blood sighs.
I still owe some dread on this hide of mine.
La la la la la la la.
La la la la.
La la la la la la la la.
I'm a multicellular individual.
You're way out of proportion, ah ha!
We've got the hemodynamic connection.
Don't call me germ!
My skin cries.
My spirit flies.
But i still owe some dread on this hide.
My skin cries.
My blood sighs.
And i still owe some dread on this hide of mine.
My spirit flies.
My blood sighs.
And i still owe some dread on this hide of mine.
My skin cries.
My spirit flies.
But i still owe some dread on this hide.

9. _ Sunday Girl
I know a girl from a lonely street, cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.
Dry your eyes, sunday girl.
Hey, i saw your guy with a different girl.
Looks like he's in another world.
Run and hide, sunday girl.
Hurry up, hurry up and wait.
I stay away all week and still i wait.
I got the blues.
Please come see what your lovin means to me.
She can't catch up with the working crowd.
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud.
Live in dreams, sunday girl.
"baby, i would like to go out tonight".
"if i go with you my folks'll get uptight".
Stay at home, sunday girl.
When i saw you again in the summer time, if your love was as sweet as mine, i could be sunday's girl.

11. _ The Tide Is High
Tide is high but i'm holding on.
I'm gonna be your number one.
Every girl wants you to be her man, but i'll wait, my dear, 'till it's my turn.
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, no, no, oh.
Tide is high but i'm holding on.
I'm gonna be your number one.
Number one.
Number one.
It's not the things you do that tease and hurt me bad, but it's the way you do the things you do to me.
I'm not the kinda girl, no no.
No you're not, no you're not.
Like that, no, no, no, no.
The tide is high but i'm holding on.
I'm gonna be your number one.

Rasta!
Tide is high but i'm holding on.
Tide is high but i'm holding on.
Ah ha ahh ya ya ya!
Ah ha ooh ooh hoo hoo yoo hoo!
Tide is high!

12. _ Forgive And Forget
In the beginning, in the days before time, the light was alive with the essense of power.
And from that power were born beings who lived on the edge of eternity.
And they spread their wings and soared through the ancient air.
And the beating of their wings made the winds.
And from the winds came the seas.
And from the sea came the life of the earth.
Nature's cast upon the sea the winds of past, of promise be.
Waters deep uncover me.
A scheme of sleep as lovers three.
If you'll forgive me my ferocity, i won't forget your sweetness.
Pull down the night, lay it before me.
Gratify my head with curses.
Night recalls tranquility.
A curtain falls and sets it free.
Darkness calls eternity.
Down silent halls the shadows flee.
If you'll forgive me my ferocity, i won't forget your sweetness.
Pull down the night, lay it before me.
Satisfy my head with curses.
Forgive and forget.
Forgive and forget.
Forgive and forget.
Fates are cast upon the sea.
The winds of past of promise be.
Waters deep uncover me.
A scheme of sleep as lovers three.
Forgive and forget.
Forgive and forget.

14. _ Rip Her To Shreds
(heypsst psst, here she comes now.)
Oh, you know her.
Would ya look at that hair!
Yeah, you know her,
Check out those shoes.
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's blues.
She looks like the sunday comics!
She thinks she's brenda starr.
Her nose job is real atomic...
All she needs is an old knife scar!
Ehhh, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.
Oh, you know her, "miss groupie supreme"!
Yeah, you know her, "vera vogue" on parade.
Red eye shadow!
Green mascara!
Yuck.
She's too much.
She looks like she don't know better.
A case of partial extreme.
Dressed in a robert hall sweater.
Acting like a soap opera queen...
Ehhh, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.
She got the nerve to tell me she's not "on it"
But her expression is too serene...
Yeah, she looks like she washes with comet!
Always looking to create a scene...
Ehhh, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.
She's so dull.
Rip her to shreds!
Oh, you know her, "miss groupie supreme".
Yeah, you know her, "vera vogue" on parade.
Yeah, you know her, with the fish eating grin...
She's so dull.
Yeah, she got the nerve to tell me!
Huh, she's so... dull...
Yeah, there she goes now.
She making out with king kong!
She take her boat to hong kong.
Well, bye bye sugar!
And not a minute too soon.

15. _ Hanging On The Telephone
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall.
If you don't answer, i'll just ring it off the wall.
I know he's there, but i just had to call.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
I heard your mother, now she's going out the door.
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said, i told you to ignore.
Oh why can't we talk again?
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long.
If i don't get your calls then everything goes wrong.
I want to tell you something you've known all along.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation.
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation.
I'd like to talk when i can show you my affection.
Oh i can't control myself!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
Hang up and run to me! oh!

16. _ Rapture (k-klassic Mix)
Toe to toe, dancing very close.
Body breathing almost comatose.
Wall to wall, people hypnotized.
And they're stepping lightly.
Hang each night, in rapture.
In rapture.
Back to back, sacroiliac.
Spineless movement and a wild attack.
Face to face, sightless solitude.
And it's finger popping.
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture.
Fab five freddy told me everybody's fly.
D.j. spinning, i said, "my, my."
Flash is fast, flash is cool.
Francois, c'est pas flashe non due.
And you don't stop, sure shot.
Go out to the parking lot.
And you get in your car and drive real far.
And you drive all night and then you see a light.
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground.
And out comes the man from mars.
And you try to run but he's got a gun.
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head.
And then you're in the man from mars.
You go out at night eating cars.
You eat cadillacs, lincolns too.
Mercurys and subaru.
And you don't stop.
You keep on eating cars.
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet.
Face to face.
Dance cheek to cheek.
One to one.
Man to man.
Dance toe to toe.
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from mars is through with cars.
He's eating bars.
Yeah, wall to wall.
Door to door.
Hall to hall.
He's gonna eat 'em all.
Rapture.
Be pure.
Man to man, body muscular.
Sismic decibel by the jugular.
Wall to wall tea time technology and a digital ladder.
No sign of bad luck in rapture.
In rapture.
In rapture.
