No one ever saw you moving through the dark Leaving slips of paper somewhere in the park Hidden from your friends, stealing all they knew Love is thrown in airless rooms, then vile rewards for you And Im gonna tell, yes, Ive gotta tell Gotta tell the things you said When youre talking in the dark And Im gonna tell the things youve done When youre walking through the park Some night on the thriller’s street Will come the silent gun Youve got a dangerous heart You stole their trust, their moon, their sun Therell come assassins needle on a crowded train I bet you feel so lonely you could die Buildings crammed with people, landscapes filled with wrath Gray concrete city, rain has wet the street I want to see you clearly before you close the door A room of bloody history, you made sure of that I can see you as a corpse hanging from a beam I could read you like a book I can feel you falling I hear you moaning in your room Oh, see if I care Oh, please, please make it soon Walls have got you cornered Youve got the blues, my friend And people dont like you But you will leave without a sound, without an end Oblivion shall own you Death alone shall love you I hope you feel so lonely you could die Feel so lonely you could die You feel so lonely you could die

Theres such a sad love Deep in your eyes A kind of pale jewel Open and closed Within your eyes Ill place the sky Within your eyes Theres such a fooled heart Beating so fast In search of new dreams A love that will last Within your heart Ill place the moon Within your heart As the pain sweeps through Makes no sense for you Every thrill is gone Wasnt too much fun at all But Ill be there for you-ou-ou As the world falls down Falling Falling down Falling in love Ill paint you mornings of gold Ill spin you Valentine evenings Though were strangers until now Were choosing the path Between the stars Ill leave my love Between the stars As the pain sweeps through Makes no sense for you Every thrill is gone Wasnt too much fun at all But Ill be there for you-ou-ou As the world falls down Falling As the world falls down Falling As the world falls down Falling Falling Falling Falling in love As the world falls down Falling Falling Falling Falling Falling in love As the world falls down Makes no sense at all Makes no sense to fall Falling As the world falls down Falling Falling in love As the world falls down Falling Falling Falling in love As the world falls down

I bless you madly Sadly as I tie my shoes I love you badly Just in time, at times, I guess Because of you I need to rest Because its you That sets the test So much has gone And little is new And as the sparrow sings Dawn chorus for Someone else to hear The Thinker sits alone growing older And so bitter I gave Them life I gave Them all They drained my very soul ...dry I crushed my heart To ease Their pains No thought for me remains there Nothing can They spare What of me? Who praised Their efforts To be free? Words of strength and care And sympathy I opened doors That would have blocked Their way I braved Their cause to guide For little pay I ravaged at my finance just for Those Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility Those who said a new world, new ways ever free Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me I bless you madly Sadly as I tie my shoes I love you badly Just in time, at times, I guess Because of you I need to rest Because its you That sets the test So much has gone And little is new And as the sunrise stream Flickers on me My friends talk Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word We had a friend, a talking man Who spoke of many powers that he had Not of the best of men, but Ours We used him We let him use his powers We let him fill Our needs Now We are strong And the road is coming to its end Now the damned have no time to make amends No purse of token fortune stands in Our way The silent guns of love Will blast the sky We broke the ruptured structure built of age Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage Where money stood We planted seeds of rebirth And stabbed the backs of fathers Sons of dirt Infiltrated business cesspools Hating through Our sleeves Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat Stoned the poor On slogans such as Wish You Could Hear Love Is All We Need Kick Out The Jams Kick Out Your Mother Cut Up Your Friend Screw Up Your Brother or Hell Get You In the End And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above And We Can Force You to Be Free And We Can Force You to Believe And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain For they knew not the words of the Free States refrain It said: I believe in the Power of Good I Believe in the State of Love I Will Fight For the Right to be Right I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right And I open my eyes to look around And I see a child laid slain On the ground As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command But not hearing anymore Not hearing anymore Just the shrieks from the old rich And I Want to Believe In the madness that calls Now And I want to Believe That a lights shining through Somehow And I Want to Believe And You Want to Believe And We Want to Believe And We Want to Live Oh, We Want to Live We Want to Live We Want to Live We Want to Live We Want to Live I Want to Live I Want to Live I Want to Live I Want to Live I Want to Live I Want to Live Live Live Live

The hand that wrote this letter Sweeps the pillow clean So, rest your head and Read a treasured dream I care for no one else but you I tear my soul to cease the pain I think maybe you feel the same What can we do? Im not quite sure what Were supposed to do So, Ive been writing just for you They say your life is going very well They say you sparkle like a different girl But something tells me that you hide When all the world is warm and tired You cry a little in the dark, well so do I Im not quite sure What youre supposed to say But I can see its not okay He makes you laugh, he brings you out in style He treats you well And makes you up real fine And when hes strong Hes strong for you And when you kiss Its something new But did you ever call my name Just by mistake? Im not quite sure what Im supposed to do So, Ill just write some love to you Do, do, do, do

He looked a lot like Che Guevara Drove a diesel van Kept his gun in quiet seclusion Such a humble man The only survivor of the National Peoples Gang Panic in Detroit I asked for an autograph He wanted to stay home I wish someone would phone Panic in Detroit He laughed at accidental sirens That broke the evening gloom The police had warned of repercussions They followed none too soon A trickle of strangers were all that were left alive Panic in Detroit I asked for an autograph He wanted to stay home I wish someone would phone Panic in Detroit Putting on some clothes, I made my way to school And I found my teacher crouching in his overalls I screamed and ran to smash my favorite slot machine And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights {Verse 3} Having scored a trillion dollars Made a run back home Found him slumped across the table A gun and me alone I ran to the window, looked for a plane or two Panic in Detroit Hed left me an autograph Let me collect dust. I wish someone would phone Panic in Detroit Panic in Detroit {Instrumental Outro}

Something kind of hit me today I looked at you and wondered if you saw things my way People will hold us to blame It hit me today, it hit me today Were taking it hard all the time Why dont we pass it by? Just reply, youve changed your mind Were fighting with the eyes of the blind Taking it hard, taking it hard Yet now We feel that we are paper, choking on you nightly They tell me: son, we want you, be elusive, but dont walk far For were breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin For youre dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasy Youre just an ally of the leecher Locator for the virgin King, but I love you in your fuck-me pumps And your nimble dress that trails Oh, dress yourself, my urchin one, for I hear them on the rails Because of all weve seen, because of all weve said We are the dead One thing kind of touched me today I looked at you and counted all the times we had laid Pressing our love through the night Knowing its right, knowing its right Now Im hoping some one will care Living on the breath of a hope to be shared Trusting on the sons of our love That someone will care, someone will care But now Were todays scrambled creatures Locked in tomorrows double feature Heavens on the pillow, its silence competes with hell Its a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell And the streets are full of pressmen Bent on getting hung and buried And the legendary curtains are drawn round Baby Bankrupt Who sucks you while youre sleeping Its the theatre of financiers Count them, fifteen round a table White and dressed to kill Oh, caress yourself, my juicy For my hands have all but withered Oh, dress yourself my urchin one, for I hear them on the stairs Because of all weve seen, because of all weve said We are the dead We are the dead We are the dead

Shakey threw a party that lasted all night Everybody drank a lot of something nice There was an old fashioned band of married men Looking up to me for encouragement - it was so-so The ladies looked bad but the music was sad No one took their eyes off Lorraine She shimmied and she strolled like a Chicago moll Her feathers looked better and better - it was so-so Yea! it was time to unfreeze When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees Slam! so it wasnt a game Cracking all the mirrors in shame Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man He walks like a jerk but hes only taking care of the room Must be in tune A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands So Shakey hung him up to dry The pundits were joking, the manholes were smoking And every bottle battled with the reason why The girl on the phone wouldnt leave me alone A throw back from someones LP A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding Yeah! I was shaking like a leaf For I couldnt understand the conversation Yeah! I ran to the street Looking for information Watch that man!

You knew just everything But nothing at all Now the luminous dark Feels like pain again You could feel my breath You opened my eyes For I could not see When I met you When I met you I could not speak You opened my mouth You opened my heart My spirit rose The marks and stains Could not exist When I met you Now its all the same Its all the same The sun is gone Its all the same But when I met you When I met you When I met you When I met you When I met you You were afraid She stole your heart You dont understand You should be ashamed You should have known She tore you down She tore you down The edge had become The centre of my world The seams of my life The streams of debris Neither wounds of a friend Nor the kiss of a foe The peck of a blackened eye An eye for the crowd When I met you I could not speak I met you Then I met you My spirit rose My kind of truth Could not exist When I met you Now its all the same Its all the same The sun is gone Its all the same But when I met you When I met you When I met you When I met you When I met you When I met you I was the walking dead I was kicked in the head It was such a time It was such a time I was crushed inside I was torn inside When I met you When I met you I was too insane Could not trust a thing I was off my head I was filled with truth It was not Gods truth Before I met you

In the event that this fantastic voyage Should turn to erosion And we never get old Remember its true Dignity is valuable But our lives are valuable too Were learning to live with somebodys depression And I dont want to live with somebodys depression Well get by, I suppose Its a very modern world But nobodys perfect Its a moving world But thats no reason To shoot some of those missiles Think of us as fatherless scum It wont be forgotten Cause well never say anything nice again Will we? And the wrong words make you listen In this criminal world Remember its true Loyalty is valuable But our lives are valuable too Were learning to live with somebodys depression And I dont want to live with somebodys depression Well get by, I suppose But any sudden movement Ive got to write it down They wipe out an entire race and Ive got to write it down But Im still getting educated But Ive got to write it down And it wont be forgotten Cause Ill never say anything nice again How can I?

Its a God-awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mommy is yelling, No And her daddy has told her to go But her friend is nowhere to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seat with the clearest view And shes hooked to the silver screen But the film is a saddening bore Cause shes seen it ten times or more She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man, look at those cavemen go Its the freakiest show Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man, wonder if hell ever know Hes on the best selling show Is there life on Mars?
