New Year's Day All is quiet on New Year's Day A world in white gets underway And I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day I will be with you again I will be with you again Under a blood-red sky A crowd is gathered in black and white Arms entwined the chosen few Newspapers say, it says it's true it's true And we can break through Though torn in two we can be one I will begin again, I will begin again Oh and maybe the time is right Oh maybe tonight I will be with you again I will be with you again And so we are told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you To be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year's day

Johnny take a walk With your sister the moon Let her pale light in To fill up your room You've been living underground Eating from a can You've been running away From what you don't understand She's slippy Your're sliding down She'll be there When you hit the ground It's alright... it's alright... it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright... it's alright... it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright... it's alright... it's alright She moves in mysterious ways Johnny take a dive With your sister in the rain Let her talk about the things You can't explain To touch is to heal To hurt is to steal If you want to kiss the sky Better learn how to kneel... (on your knees boy!) She's the wave She turns the tide She sees the man inside the child (And no question, she knows why) It's alright... it's alright... it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright... it's alright... it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright... it's alright... it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright... it's alright... it's alright Lift my days... light up my nights One day you'll look back And you'll see Where You were held how By this love While You could stand There And not move on this moment Follow this feeling It's alright... it's alright... it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright... it's alright... it's alright We move through miracle days Spirit moves in mysterious ways She moves with it She moves with it Lift my days and light up my nights

See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side i wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait... without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And i'm waiting for you With or without you With or without out you I can't live With or without you And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied My body bruised, she's got me with Nothing left to win And nothing else to lose With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you

One man come in the name of love One man come and go One man come he to justify One man to overthrow In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love One man caught on a barbed wire fence One man he resist One man washed up on an empty beach One man betrayed with a kiss In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love Early morning April four A shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free at last They took your life They could not take your pride In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love

Lover I'm off the streets Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet With a red guitar, on fire Desire She's the candle burning in my room I'm like the needle needle and spoon Over the counter with a shotgun Pretty soon, everybody got one And the fever, when I'm beside her Desire, Desire (Burning, Burning) She's the dollars She's my protection She's the promise In the year of election Sister, I can't let you go I'm like a preacher Stealing hearts at a travelling show For love or money, money...?

Monday morning Eighteen years of dawning I said how long. Say how long. It was one dull morning I woke the world with bawling I was so sad They were so glad. I had the feeling it was out of control I was of the opinion it was out of control. Boys and girls to school And girls they make children Not like this one. I had the feeling it was out of control I was of the opinion it was out of control. I was of the feeling it was out of control I had the opinion it was out of control. I fought fate There's blood at the garden gate The man said childhood It's in his childhood One day I'll die The choice will not be mine Will it be too late? You can't fight fate. I had the feeling it was out of control I was of the opinion it was out of control.

Summer stretching on the grass... summer dresses pass In the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me Over me and over you stuck together with God's glue It's going to get stickier too... It's been a long hot summer let's go undercover Don't try too hard to think... don't think at all I'm not the only one starin' at the sun Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb i'm staring at the sun Not the only one who's happy to go blind There's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear It's gonna itch and burn and sting Do you want to see what the scratching brings Waves that leave me out of reach Breaking on your back like a beach... Will we ever live in peace? Cause those that can't do often have to Those that can't do often have to... preach To the ones staring at the sun... Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind Intransigence is all around... military is still in town Armour plated suits and ties... daddy just won't say goodbye Referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will HE listen I'm nearly great But there's something I'm missing I left in the duty free Though you never really belonged to me You're not the only one staring at the sun Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun Not the only one who's happy to go blind

I'm not afraid Of anything in this world There's nothing you can throw at me That I haven't already heard I'm just trying to find A decent melody A song that I can sing In my own company I never thought you were a fool But darling look at you You gotta stand up straight Carry your own weight These tears are going nowhere baby You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And now you can't get out of it Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it I will not forsake The colors that you bring The nights you filled with fireworks They left you with nothing I am still enchanted By the light you brought to me I listen through your ears Through your eyes I can see And you are such a fool To worry like you do I know it's tough And you can never get enough Of what you don't really need now My, oh my You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it Oh love, look at you now You've got yourself stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it I was unconscious, half asleep The water is warm 'til you discover how deep I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall It's a long way down to nothing at all You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if our way should falter Along the stony pass And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if your way should falter Along this stony pass It's just a moment This time will pass

Haven't seen you in quite a while I was down the hold just passing time Last time we met was a low-lit room We were as close together as a bride and groom We ate the food, we drank the wine Everybody having a good time Except you You were talking about the end of the world I took the money I spiked your drink You miss too much these days if you stop to think You lead me on with those innocent eyes You know I love the element of surprise In the garden I was playing the tart I kissed your lips and broke your heart You...you were acting like it was The end of the world (Love...love...) In my dream I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows, they learned to swim Surrounding me, going down on me Spilling over the brim Waves of regret and waves of joy I reached out for the one I tried to destroy You...you said you'd wait 'til the end of the world

The heart is a bloom Shoots up through the stony ground There's no room No space to rent in this town You're out of luck And the reason that you had to care The traffic is stuck And you're not moving anywhere You thought you'd found a friend To take you out of this place Someone you could lend a hand In return for grace It's a beautiful day Sky falls, you feel like It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away You're on the road But you've got no destination You're in the mud In the maze of her imagination You love this town Even if that doesn't ring true You've been all over And it's been all over you It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away It's a beautiful day Touch me Take me to that other place Teach me I know I'm not a hopeless case See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out See the Bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth After the flood all the colors came out It was a beautiful day Don't let it get away Beautiful day Touch me Take me to that other place Reach me I know I'm not a hopeless case What you don't have you don't need it now What you don't know you can feel it somehow What you don't have you don't need it now Don't need it now Was a beautiful day

High, higher than the sun You shoot me from a gun I need you to elevate me here At the corner of your lips As the orbit of your hips Eclipse You elevate my soul I've got no self control Been living like a mole now Going down, excavation High and High in the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation A star Lit up like a cigar Strung out like a guitar Maybe you can educate my mind Explain all these controls Can't sing but I've got soul The goal is elevation A mole Digging in a hole Digging up my soul now Going down, excavation I and eye in the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation Love Lift me up from out of these blues Won't you tell me something true I believe in you A mole Digging in a hole Digging up my soul now Going down, excavation High and high in the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation Elevation Elevation Elevation Elevaaation
