Unknown Passage
Dead Moon Night
Thunderbolts and nightsticks
Coming out of the sky
Flames overhead
Rain until you cry
My baby's on the highway
Come in from the cold
Never going home, never going home
D for disaster
E for my eyes
A for my anger
D before I die
M for Mona
O oh good
O oh good
N for the night
Dead Moon Night
Call me if you need me
Down in New Orleans
Can't release the victims
Have you seen what I've seen
In New York City
Don't you cross the line
Guard it from the light, guard it from the light
Hazard on the highway
Breakin' down slow
They thought she was lookin'
Now I'm all alone
I'm often abandoned
Won't you take me home
Now I'm all alone, won't you take me home
My Escape
There's a point of no return
Where we never seem to learn
We can't have all we wanted
Oh, you can see it in our eyes
When nerve begins to die there's no use in pretending
And I go to my room, lock the door
And plan my escape
To run away from myself
I've got an anger deep inside
Something I can't hide
I don't know what I'm after
It seems I'm always out of turn
And I guess I'll never learn
Who's to blame or what's the matter
So I go to my room, lock the door
And plan my escape
To run away from myself
It's not the warning that I hear
That makes me disappear
Down that narrow stairway
I don't kmow what I'm looking for
But I know I need it more
Just to know someone is waiting
So I go to my room, lock the door
And plan my escape
And run away from myself
A Miss Of You
I used to be so, so down
I thought I had been changed
So when I found you were running around
I too tried to play that game
I know the way now
This time it won't take long
We used to run around two by two
We tried to break our hearts
And in the mornin' when the corners are jaded
I too began to fall apart
So if I seem unable to cope
It's for a miss of you
If what we were was only for once
You were always worth the view
54/40 Or Fight
I've got a train drivin' through my head
Got a fever burnin' in my bed
If my telephone's ringin', somebody's dead on the line
I'm gettin' mad I'm gettin' pissed
I can't handle much more of this
Everybody sets me off, man, I'm walkin' on ice
I need something strong to pull me through
I've got to find a way to kick these blues
It's that cold in the night and I've got blood in my eyes
I say 54/40 or fight
I've go a queesy feelin' in my guts
Can't you see that I've had enough
Everybody sets me off, man, I'm over the edge
I've got a time-bomb tickin' inside
Fire burnin' in my eyes
No where to hide and no where to turn
I've got a needle deep down in my soul
I've got nerves goin' out of control
My adrenalin's pumpin' and I-m ready to burst
I say 54/40 or fight
I've got a rocket trail in my mind
I've got a feelin' that I haven't much time
I've got a time-bomb tickin' with nowhere to turn
Now these restraints that you're puttin' on me
The dealin' with society
This - the final approach, is my cause for alarm
So don't tell me what I was before
Or expect me to be something more
I'm on the defense and I'm over the line
I say 54/40 or fight
I'm Wise
You nag me and you haunt me
And you tell me dirty lies
You think you've pulled it off
But for some time I've realized
That everything you do is to drive me from my mind
I've been listening to the silence for your tiptoes in the night
I'm wise, wise to you
You've never faced the day when judgement comes to town
You've been dealing from the bottom, dealing dirty, deep, and down
You got yourself a boyfriend who'll be comin' 'round tonight
While I'm outside aworkin' and doing overtime
I'm wise, wise to you
You think it's sugar powder 'cause everything's so sweet
When you melt away the glaze of all the people that you see
The more I'm educated, the more I hang on the cord
You can cut the lies 'cause I know what's going on
I'm wise, wise to you
Evil Eye
I am so bad because of you
There ain't nothing that I won't do
I'll buy you clothes and ruby rings
But it takes money to get those things
So I lie and I cheat
I rob and I steal
I try to hate you woman, but I never will
Love won't die, no matter how hard I try
My woman's got an evil eye
I am so weak, I must admit
Got love bad but I can't quit
Bought you a Cadillac with all the frills
I bought you that, you want more still
Work all day, work all night
Oh, little baby, you trest me right
Bought you a house high on the hill
I bought you that, you want more still
I Tried
I tried to stop the tide
I tried but I can't hide
I tried to resist you
I tried to follow through
I tried to let you go
I tried but I just want more
I tried and tried to steal away
But you played on me
I tried to pass the time
I tried to get you off my mind
I tried to become cold
I tried to tell you no
I tried and tried to steal away
But you placed on me
I tried to look away
I tried not to see your face
I tried to forget you
I tried but it's just no use
I tried and tried to steal away
But you played on me
Time Has Come Today (J. & W. Chambers)
Time has come today young hearts can go
Their way can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say they say we
Don't listen anyway time has come today, hey
The room has changed today I have no place to stay
I'm thinking about the subway my love has blown away
My tears have come and gone oh, Lord I got to run
I got no home no, I have no home
Now the time has come nowhere (place) to run
Might get burned up by the sun but I'll have my fun
I've been loved, pushed (put) aside I've been crushed
By tumbling tide and my soul has been psychedelicized
Now the time has come there are things to realize
Time has come today Time has come today
Demona
I thought I could avoid you but I was wrong
What seemed to be so innocent has long since gone
You took me to dependency, I tried to get clean
I'm not the only one who sais it can't happen to me
You've got your colors over my eyes
I've tried to walk the narrows but it's no use
I find myself surrendering in dreams with you
Into the elevations where everything's clear
Demona comes in shallow light and disappears
She wraps her colors over my eyes,br>
I've stood in open windows and watched the sky
I've waited to be rescued and then I've cried
your eyes are so beguiling you whisper to me
And in that silent chamber you came over me
You wrap your colors over my eyes
On My Own
In my way, I've had my day
I've touched it all and watched it as it fell away
Pressed my face to glass before I broke
I'm on my own
And as I lay in a twlight spell
I could sense something was coming as the comets fell
Out there something's moving in the lights
I'm on my own
A metal gray that glides away
The silver beads of heat that weld the night to day
That weightless, sinking feeling without time
I'm on my own
