"I Just Like To Be Bad"

"I Just Like To Be Bad"



I knew her when she was a secretary
She always refused to get married
She tried not to smile or meet your eyes
She knew if she did you'd start those lies

I busted a sweat every day on the dock
She sang to herself as she worked for the boss
She'd process words to the dance music station
Every stroke of her fingers an invitation

She said I just like to be bad
First names only and one night stands
I just like to be bad
Forget the face, I want the hands

And I kept trying whisperin' slow and special
Something eternal and something essential
I don't give up but I ain't a stalker
I guess I'm just an easy talker

She said I just like to be bad
First names only and one night stands
I just like to be bad
Forget the face, I want the hands

And I made sure that I held her gaze
And I made sure she couldn't look away
And I put aside all those tired old lies
She read the truth, see it in my eyes

She said I just like to be bad
First names only and one night stands
I just like to be bad
Forget the face, I want the hands

But only for you I just like to be bad
But only for you I just like to be bad
But only for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you, babe I just like to be bad
I wanna be there for you I just like to be bad
I wanna be for only you I just like to be bad

"I Love The Night"

"I Love The Night"



That night her kiss told me it was over
I walked out late into the dark
The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow
The further I went on I felt a spreading calm
Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in a light
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
She said "Like me I see you're walking alone
Won't you please stay? " I couldn't look away

She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight
If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together

No mortal was meant to know such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness I'll see her again
Yes I'm gonna go 'cause now I know

She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much that I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight
If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together

"I'm On The Lamb But I Ain't No Sheep"

"I'm On The Lamb But I Ain't No Sheep"



Canadian mounted baby, a police force that works
Red and black, that's their color scheme
get their man, in the end
It's all right, it's all right.

Frontenac chateau baby
I'll cross the frontier at ten
Got a whip in my hand baby
And a girl or a husky at leather's end
It's all right, it's all right
My lovely bel punice, you'd kill and you'd maim

Hornswoop me bungo pony, dogsled on ice
Make a dash for freedom baby, don't skate on polar ice
It's to thick to be sliced by the light
Of long and white polar nights
It's all right, it's all right
My lovely bel punice, you'd kill and you'd maim

"Imaginos"

"Imaginos"



Imaginos
Approached the sun
In August in New Hapshire
Singing songs
Nobody knew
And stories left undone

See this fish
His scales turned green
Under such a sun
Such a sun...............such a sun
such a sun...............such a sun
such a sun

A tongue and pale
Of Texas light
Descended on the border
While the bird
Called Buzzardo
Rattled the bones
He picked the flesh from

See this fish
His scales turned green
Under such a sun
Such a sun...............such a sun
such a sun...............such a sun
such a sun

Checking the sign of the Moonfleet
Roll your wheel with mine
Sometimes in the light of day
The truth proves hard to find
Actually this Buzzardo
Was Imaginos in disguise

In disguise

Ooo Imaginos
Ooo Imaginos
Ooo Ooo Ooo Imaginos
Ooo Imaginos
Ooo Imaginos
Ooo Ooo Ooo

Imaginos
Approached the sun
In August in New Hapshire
Singing songs
Nobody knew
And stories left undone

See this fish
His scales turned green
Under such a sun
Such a sun...............such a sun
such a sun...............such a sun
such a sun

I'm Buzzardo in Texas............Last chance
I'm a pinwheel in Vermont........Last chance
And gorge the Bungo Pony.........Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
I'm a rocker a roller and a spinner, too
Below that scene of subterfuge...Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
Which is
The last chance border...........Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
.................................Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
On the border....................Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
.................................Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
On the border....................Last chance Laaast chance Last chance
.................................Last chance Last chance
The last exit to Texas

"In The Presence Of Another World"

"In The Presence Of Another World"



In the presence of another world
You guess the things unguessed
In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness

In the promise of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done

Your master he's a monster
He will come on a bridge of paper
Inscribed with a hundred names of God
But he can count one more
The curse of life eternal
Written on the door

Your master.....he's a monster
Your master.....he's a monster
Your master.....he's a monster

In the presence of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done

In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness

Your master.....Your master is a monster
Your master.....Born of a yolkless egg
Your master.....He has dominion over animals
Your master.....He walks the world Entrail diviner
Your master.....And when the stars are right
Your master.....He locks the door behind the door behind the door
Your master.....The milky way abyss inclines
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....The seven years of labor for the instruments of time

Your master is a monster
And gentlemanly too
He'll make for us some new germ
With pieces of the perfect black
The alpha and omega
The double peaks of Mars
The maze of his infinity
The buried city
In the stars

"In Thee"

"In Thee"


Maybe I'll see you again baby
And maybe I won't
Maybe you've bought your ticket
Gone back to Detroit
Airplanes make strangers of us all
Give us distance
Much too easily.

Jim says some destinies
Should not be delivered
But you and I seen now baby
That still they are
Winning it makes losers of us all
'Cause the dice roll
So indifferently.

[Chorus:]
Well, I'll wrap myself in cities I travel
I'll wrap myself in dreams
I'll wrap myself in solitude
["stranger's arms" for 3rd chorus]
But I wish I could wrap myself
In thee.

Tonight it's hot, without you
Tomorrow'll be cold
Winter will come along
Driven by snow
Love it makes strangers of us all
When we part
Oh so thoughtlessly

[Chorus]

Once we breathed the breath
Of sweet surrender
Pure, pure Arab air filled our
Atmosphere
But pride it makes stars of us all
Until we fall
For everyone to see.

[Chorus 2x]

"Joan Crawford"

"Joan Crawford"



Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy
They're laughing just like hungry dogs in the street
Policemen are hiding behind the skirts of little girls
Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat

No, no no no, no no no no no no no no,
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Catholic schoolgirls have thrown away their mascara
They chain themselves to the axles of big Mack trucks
The sky is filled with hurt and shivering angels
The fat lady lives! Children, start your trucks!

No, no no no, no no no no no no no no,
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

(Christina... Mother's home!
No, no...
Christina...
No, no - no, no...
Come to Mother...
No, no - no, no, no no no no no no
Christina...)

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen

"Kick Out The Jams"

"Kick Out The Jams"



Kick out the jams brothers and sisters.

Well I feel pretty good
And I guess that
I can't get crazy now baby
Cause we all got in tune
In the dressing room
Yeah hazy now baby

Well I know how you like it child
Hot, sweet and tight
The girls can't stand it
When you do it right
When your'e up on the stand

And let me kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jams
Come on kick'em out

Well I'm starting to sweat
You know my shirt's all wet
What a feeling

And the sound that abounds
And resounds and rebounds
Off the ceiling

Yeah you gotta have it baby
You can't do without
'Cause when you get that feeling
You gotta sound 'em out
Put that mike in my hand

And let me kick out the jams
Yes! Kick out the jams
Com on kick'em out

You know I got to get 'em up
You know I can't
Get enough Miss Mackenzie

Yeah the sounds in my brain
You know it drives me insane
With the frenzy

Well the whailin' guitars
And the crash of the drums
Make me wanna keep-a-rockin'
Till the morning comes
Let me be who I am

And let me kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jams
Yes, kick out the jaaams
I done kicked 'em out

"Les Invisibles"

"Les Invisibles"



Along the world axis
The Empress lay sleeping
To the rhyme of the, of the, of the star clock
Seven sleepers
Seven sages
Seven ladders to the, to the
Seventh heaven

Seven stars
Had Ursa Major
Tables turning, turning
And rain maker
While the seven
The visitors
All went, all went
A drumming

Dance a Don Pedro
Do the Don Pedro
Games after death
Night dances 'round
Samedi and Petre
In Alchemy

Salute the Four Quarters
Before I leave your eyes
Twinned in the mirror
Les Mesteres come
End me adoration
Before I leave your eyes
World in the mirror
Waters of amnesia come

Do you know (do you know), do you know (do you know)
Do you know (do you know), do you know (do you know)
The court of Eve
Beneath the Polar Mountain
Rose cross and crosser there
Symbols of the swan
Aerial races
In rotation over
The magical casement
Visions of a parallel world

Dance a Don Pedro
Do the Don Pedro
Games after death
Night dances 'round
Samedi and Petre
In Alchemy

"Let Go"

"Let Go"



Hell bent for leather on a moonlit night
There's a hot wind blowing better hold on tight
To your soul

Blue fire rising up from the deep
Burning the world just when it's trying to sleep
So let go
Let go let go let go

B.O.C.
You can be whatever you want to be
You got the power, we got the key
Yeah, B.O.C.

You're a rebel and you got no friends
We all know that it all depends
On rock and roll

Do you feel like they're keeping you down
Ain't no fun with your feet on the ground
So let go
Let go let go let go

B.O.C.
You can be whatever you want to be
You got the power, we got the key
Yeah, B.O.C.
