SOMEDAY

SOMEDAY


Your voice comes calling through the mist
I awake from a dream and my heart begins to drift
Tonight we're on our own
Tonight we're all alone
Oh-oh, tonight

Someday we'll be together
And the night will fall around us
This love will last forever
Someday we'll be together
Together

I can't sleep so I lay awake listenin' to the sounds of the city below
I get dressed and walk the streets but I got nowhere to go
Tonight it's you I miss
Tonight my only wish is
Oh-oh, tonight

Someday we'll be together
And the night will fall around us
This love will last forever
Someday you'll be mine

Tonight we're on our own
Tonight we're all alone
Oh-oh, tonight

Someday we'll be together
And the night will fall around us
This love will last forever
Someday you'll be mine
Woah-whoaaa
Someday you'll be mine
Woah-whoaaa (this love will last forever)
Someday you'll be mine
(Someday we'll be together)
(The night will fall around us)
(This love will last forever)
(Someday you'll be mine)
(Someday we'll be together)

SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT

SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT


I'm riding down Kingsley,
figuring I'll get a drink
Turn the radio up loud,
so I don't have to think,
I take her to the floor,
looking for a moment when the world
seems right,
And I tear into the guts,
of something in the night.
You're born with nothing,
and better off that way,
Soon as you've got something they send
someone to try and take it away,
You can ride this road 'till dawn,
without another human being in sight,
Just kids wasted on
something in the night.

Nothing is forgotten or forgiven,
when it's your last time around,
I got stuff running around 'round my head
That I just can't live down

When we found the things we loved,
They were crushed and dying in the dirt.
We tried to pick up the pieces,
And get away without getting hurt,
But they caught us at the state line,
And burned our cars in one last fight,
And left us running burned and blind,
Chasing something in the night.

SONG TO THE ORPHANS

SONG TO THE ORPHANS


The moltitude assembled and tried to make the noiseThe black blind poet generalsAnd restless loud white boysBut time grew thin and the axisWas left somehow incompleteWhere instead of child lionsWe found aging junkie sheepHow many wasted have I seen signed hollywood or bustLeft to ride them ever ghostly arizona gustsOh, cheerleader tramps and kids with big ampsSounding in the voidHigh society vamps and ex-heavyweight champsMistaking soot for soilSo break me now big mamaAs old faithful breaks the dayBelieve me, my good linda,The aurora will shine your wayThe confederacy, she?s in my name nowAnd the hounds are held at bayThe axis needs a stronger armDo you feel your muscles play? The doorstep blanket weaverMadonna she?s pushing bellsFrom house to house to house to houseGiving last kisses and wishing wellTo every gypsy, mystic and all star heroThat the kids might find the placeWho?ve been lost forever to papa and mamaOn their weekends out in spaceNow the sons they search for fathersBut their fathers have all goneThe lost souls search for saviorsBut saviours don?t last longThose aimless, questionless renegade bratsWho live their lives in songsThey run the length of a candleIn a goodnight whisper and a puff they?re goneSo break me now big mamaAs old faithful breaks the dayBelieve me, my good linda,The aurora will shine your wayThe confederacy, she?s in my name nowAnd the hounds are held at bayThe axis needs a stronger armDo you feel your muscles play? The missions are filled with hermits looking for a friendThe terraces are filled with cat-men looking for a way inThere are orphans junked on silver mountainsLost in celestial alleywaysThey wait for that old tramp dog man mosesHe takes in all the straysNow, don?t grow on empty legendsOr lonely cradle songs?cause billy the kid was just a bowery boyWho made his living twirling his gunsThe night she?s long, she?s lankyShe speaks in her mother tongueAnd lullabies the refugeesWith an amplifier?s humSo break us now big mamaAs old faithful breaks the dayBelieve me, my sweet linda,Oh, help is sure on the wayThe confederacy, she?s in my name nowAnd the hounds are held at bayThe axis needs a stronger armDo you feel your muscles play? The confederacy, she?s in my name nowAnd the hounds are held at bayThe axis needs a stronger armDo you feel your muscles play?

SOUL DRIVER

SOUL DRIVER


Rode through forty nights of the gospels? rain
Black sky pourin? snakes frogs
And love in vain
You were down where the river grows wider
Baby let me be your soul driver

Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Don?t worry darlin?
It?ll slip your mind
I?ll be your gypsy joker your shotgun rider
Baby let me be your soul driver

Now no one knows which way love?s wheel turns
Will we hit it rich
Or crash and burn
Does fortune wait or just the black hand of fate
This love potion?s all we?ve got
One toast before it?s too late

If the angels are unkind or the season is dark
Or if in the end
Love just falls apart
Then here?s to our destruction
Baby let me be your soul driver

SOULS OF THE DEPARTED

SOULS OF THE DEPARTED


On the road to Basra stood young Lieutenant Jimmy Bly
Detailed to go through the clothes of the soldiers who died
At night in dreams he sees their souls rise
Like dark geese into the Oklahoma skies
Well this is a prayer for the souls of the departed
Those who?ve gone and left their babies brokenhearted
This is a prayer for the souls of the departed

Now Raphael Rodriguez was just seven years old
Shot down in a schoolyard by some East Compton Cholos
His mama cried "My beautiful boy is dead"
In the hills the self-made men just sighed and shook their heads

This is a prayer for the souls of the departed
Those who?ve gone and left their babies brokenhearted
Young lives over before they got started
This is a prayer for the souls of the departed

Tonight as I tuck my own son in bed
All I can think of is what if it would?ve been him instead
I want to build me a wall so high nothing can burn it down
Right here on my own piece of dirty ground

Now I ply my trade in the land of king dollar
Where you get paid and your silence passes as honor
And all the hatred and dirty little lies
Been written off the books and into decent men?s eyes

SOUTHERN SON

SOUTHERN SON


Born on the hudson, twenty-two years gone
Bred and raised in the city
From my daddys knee I learned the union songs
But grandma sang lullabies of dixie
And though the northern winter fills my heart with joy
Oh it's a southern sun that shines down
On this yankee boy

Mama dreamed of paris nights
And boatin on the seine
She said, were gonna make it there too
Soon as papa comes home again
And she'd speak to me in broken french
Dressed like a painting of lautrecs
In the night she'd clutch me to her breast
And say, well make it outta here yet
And though parisian women
Strut so fine down the eiffel mall
Its a southern one I sing my songs for

Well with the local bunch of do-good boys
And an old man from the west
We crossed the land in the caravan
Yes we traveled with the best
With circus acts and vaudeville hacks
And the mississippi delta queen
She told me the news and sold me her blues
In an alley in new orleans
And though the western plains are still stained
With the blood of great cowboys
Its a southern sun
That shine down on this yankee boy

SPANISH EYES

SPANISH EYES


Little christine
We're takin' one more run
Secret heart, when the time has begun
Come to part
And hey, you're the one
And now we know
My heart is sold
And though we tried
You took me with your spanish eyes

Hey badlands
Realize
That someone else is yearning
Special sunday night
And baby there's time
Time enough to cry
With all our sad stories
And all the bad that we've done
And all the times
We've rode on for glory
And ...
And you took me with your spanish eyes

Stretch out baby
And call your daddy home
'cause I'm runnin' tonight
Couldn't be all alone
Yes I know how something died
But baby it was just for kicks
It was just for fun
Even with all the bad that we done
They can't say we didn't try
And I fell for your spanish eyes

Saturday night special
Waitin' in the sheets
Oh come on
Talk to me, my sweet
And I'll try to make it complete this timecome close and let me dry your eyes
Let me try to turn the lies
And let me kiss your spanish eyes
Let me kiss your spanish eyes
Let me kiss your spanish eyes
Let me kiss your spanish eyes
Come here, baby

SPANISH HARLEM

SPANISH HARLEM


There is a rose in spanish harlemA rose that grows in spanish harlemIt?s never seen the sunIt only comes up when the moon is on the runAnd all the stars are leavingWell, it grows right in the streetUp between the concreteBut soft and sweet, and (breathing? ? )There is a rose in spanish harlemA rose that grows in spanish harlemOh, with eyes as black as coalThat reach down in my soulAnd start a fire I can?t controlI beg your pardonWell, I want to pick that roseAnd watch her as she growsIn my gardenThere is a rose in spanish harlemThere is a rose in spanish harlem

SPARE PARTS

SPARE PARTS


Bobby said he?d pull out Bobby stayed in
Janey had a baby it wasn?t any sin
They were set to marry on a summer day
Bobby got scared and he ran away
Jane moved in with her ma out on Shawnee Lake
She sighed Ma sometimes my whole life feels like one big mistake
She settled in in a back room time passed on
Later that winter a son come along

Spare parts
And broken hearts
Keep the world turnin? around

Now Janey walked that baby across the floor night after night
But she was a young girl and she missed the party lights
Meanwhile in South Texas in a dirty oil patch
Bobby heard ?bout his son bein? born and swore he wasn?t ever goin? back

Spare parts
And broken hearts
Keep the world turnin? around

Janey heard about a woman over in Calverton
Put her baby in the river left the river roll on
She looked at her boy in the crib where he lay
Got down on her knees cried till she prayed
Mist was on the water low run the tide
Janey held her son down at the riverside
Waist deep in the water how bright the sun shone
She lifted him in her arms and carried him home
As he lay sleeping in her bed Janey took a look around at everything
Went to a drawer in her bureau and got out her old engagement ring
Took out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sash
Went straight down to the pawn shop man and walked out with some good cold cash

SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT

SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT


Crazy Janey and her mission man were back in the alley tradin' hands
'Long came Wild Billy with his friend G-man all duded up for Saturday night
Billy slammed on his coaster brakes and said anybody wanna
go on up to Greasy LakeIt's about a mile down on the dark side of Route 88
I got a bottle of rose' so let's try it
We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe and I'll take you
all out to where the gypsy angels goThey're build like light
And they dance like spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Oh you don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand up now and let it shoot through you
Well now Wild Billy was a crazy cat and he shook
some dust out of his coonskin cap
He said "Trust some of this it'll show you where you're
at least it'll help you really feel it"
By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake I had my head
out the window and Janey's fingers in the cake
I think I really dug her 'cause I was too loose to fake
I said "I'm hurt" she said "Honey let me heal it"
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
And she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
She felt just right just as sweet as a spirit in the night (all night)
In the night (all night) baby don't know what she do to you
Spirit in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand up and let her shoot right through you
Now the night grew bright and the stars threw light on Billy and Davy
Dancin' in the moonlightWe were down near the water in a stone mud fight
Killer Joe'd passed out on the lawn
Well Hazy Davy got really hurt he crawled into the lake
in just his socks and a shirt
Me and crazy Janey were makin' love in the dirt singin' our birthday songs
Janey said "Hey little brother don't you think it's time now we go"
So we closed our eyes and said goodbye to gypsy angel row felt just right
Together we moved like spirits in the night (all night) all night (all night)
Baby don't know what it do to you
Spirit in the night (all night) all night (all night)
Stand up and let it shoot right through you
