1. BOY

Boy in the sun, wind in his hair
Creeps in places that hides in the way
Lunar mountain, toss that water
The river of ancient goes through his veins

Lifeform is born, with ants of wisdom
Always arriving at the same place alone
Goddess is weeping, child lies sleeping
Star, glass, and dreaming life in a day

Once was a boy
Once was a boy
Once was a boy
Once was a...
What kind of men are those?
What kind of men are those?
What kind of men are those?
My keeper
What kind of men are those?
What kind of men are those?
What kind of men are those?
My teacher

Then came, nothing to guide him
Landscape of flowers, blood will not warm (?)
Now in garden, talks to a lion
Leapt from his eyes, walks at his side
Walks at his side
Walks at his side
Once was a boy
Once was a boy
Once was a boy
Once was a...
What kind of men are those?
What kind of men are those?
What kind of men are those?
My keeper
What kind of men are those?
What kind of men are those?
What kind of men are those?
My teacher

My keeper
My teacher
Reach for the golden star child
I am


2. LAZARUS

Oh now the sheriff said to the deputy
"Go out and bring me lazarus."
Oh now the sheriff said to the deputy
"Go out and bring me lazarus."
Bring him dead or alive oh lord oh lord
Bring him dead or alive

Now the deputy said to the sheriff
"Where on the world i'm going to find him?"
Now the deputy said to the sheriff
"Where on the world i'm going to find him?"
On the mountain lord, with a ___ oh lord
On the mountain lord
What they used on poor lazarus
What they used was a great big number
What they used on poor lazarus
What they used was a great big number
Number 44 with a oh lord
Number 44

Oh now lazarus's poor mother
She couldn't go to the funeral
Oh now lazarus's poor mother
She couldn't go to the funeral
She didn't have no shoes oh lord oh lord
Didn't have no shoes

Oh now she told the damn sheriff
She said "one of these days i'm gonna find you."
Oh now she told the damn sheriff
She said "one of these days i'm gonna find you."
Come the next pay day oh lord oh lord
Come the next pay day


3. SENOR

Did they drive you in a car?
Did they drop you after dark?
After they spied on your home
And bugged your telephone
And did they leave you on the side of the road?
Half dead and alone
Does every bullet find a home?

Senor, can you tell us where you're heading for senor?
Senor, i'm blowing like a leaf out in the storm

Did they drop you off at school?
Did you learn the golden rule
How to stay upon the rails
And keep the wind in their sails?
Did they teach you how to fight?
Teach you wrong from right?
And how to kill a man
In the heat of the night?

Senor, can you tell us where you're heading for senor?
Senor, i'm blowing like a leaf out in the storm

Saw the children in the street
Naming clouds in the heat
Breaking sticks and throwing stones
Mother call your child back home
Can't you hear the engines drone?
Up the road the soldiers come

In the crowd i saw you sigh
Senor, come on dry your eyes
Senor, come on dry your eyes
Senor, come on dry your eyes
Senor
Senor
Senor

Are they watching us now?
Do you know?
Will they be taping this show?
Are we in for some surprise?
Do you know?
Will they be bringing us in dead or alive?

Senor, we're blowing like a leaf out in the storm
Senor, there's a black car
Moving at the bottom on the road
Senor, there's a mother
Stumbling at the bottom of the road
Senor, can you tell us what you came here for
Senor, i'm blowing like a leaf out in the storm
Senor, can you tell us where we're heading for
Senor, check this out


4. FIRE DANCERS

Here come the fire dancers
Work so hard, feet surrender
You find it in the gold
We go down while you sleep

Hiding in the gold
We come for you
We adore you
We above you
And inside you

Run to see the wheel of fortune
To see three, face the center
And hiding in the gold
Nothing in the center

Hiding in the gold
We come for you
We adore you
We above you
And inside you

Find him in the gold
That and water
Find him in the gold
Without a warning
Find him in the gold
And in the water


5. MURDER ON THE SHORE

And on the lee shore
They were digging for more
They were using the water
To break up the stones
When the girl came down
It was before the sound
Of the weapon that fired
At the man on the ground

And they buried the man
With his hammer in hand
And they covered his grave with a stone
Now on the lee shore
Where the waves still roar
Stands a girl by the stone alone

Nobody knows what she's thinking
Nobody knows what she feels
So she fades like a flower
Fades like a flower in time


6. BALLAD OF WINNIE

The sun it was rising
There was smoke in the air
And the children were
Playing in the street

Four men, quite tall men
Came out of nowhere
They were the last four people
That he'd meet

How cold it feels
How cold it feels
How cold it feels in the fire
How cold it feels
How cold it feels
How cold it feels in the fire

Some say she ordered to put him to death
Who was the youngest and the strongest of all
As a warning to anyone who might drop their fist
In the struggle for justice for all

How cold it feels
How cold it feels
How cold it feels in the fire
How cold it feels
How cold it feels
How cold it feels in the fire

Are women and children more timid than men
Out of all of the players on the field
To be ruled by a necklace and murdered by reckless
Men with their hearts turned to steel

How cold it feels
How cold it feels
How cold it feels in the fire

On a southern most island, locked in a prison
Her lover and the leader of the cause

How cold it feels
How cold it feels
How cold it feels in the fire

Sure as an eagle there are prisoners and men
But some men are not prisoners at all

How cold it feels
How cold it feels
How cold it feels in the fire
How cold it feels
How cold it feels
How cold it feels in the fire


7. BURY ME

Carry me, ferry me, back in boat
Squeal those dreams
From the canyon to the cradle
Follow my call, call i follow, follow my call, call i Follow

We'll divide if we don't look down
We'll survive if we don't turn around
Wheels in the sky hit the ground
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run

There can see for a thousand years
Bury me in your eye
Bury me in your eye
Bury me in your eye
Bury me in your eye
Bury me in your eye
Bury me in your eye

We'll divide if we don't look down
We'll survive if we don't turn around
Wheels in the sky hit the ground
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

If i was a mountain, i'd hold your echoes
Bury me back in boat
Bury me back in boat
Bury me back in boat
Bury me back in boat
I run


8. PAT ON THE BACK

I don't know where you're going
I don't know what you found
There's a sign in the detour
Hasn't turned you around

There's a face in the water
That always looks back
There's a clown in the mirrow
'Was never pat on the back

There is a town
Simply a town
Wearing a friend
Simply a friend
'Was never pat on the back

I don't know where you're going
I don't know what you've found
There's a sign in the detour
Hasn't turned you around

There is a town
Simply a town
Where in a friend, simply a friend
Where is a town?
Simply a town
Where is a friend, simply a friend?
Was never pat on the back


9. HOPELESS THE CLOWN

I am a friend
You are afraid
I have no anger
For you in the shade
You in the shade

So rattle your chains
That drag you down
I am no saint
Just hopeless the clown
Hopeless the clown

Now you've made it to freedom
No one can give you advice
Now you've made it to freedom
You your dog and your wife

Hot coals on a land mine
Lost soul in a land slide
Well why are you waisting time
Well what a surprise

Surprise, surprise

So rattle your chains
That drag you down
I am no saint
Just hopeless the clown
Hopeless the clown


10. UH-OH

It was the hand that signed, made the famine grow
It was the hand that signed, that every mother know

It was an gun, it was a refuse brain
It was a gun, it was a bubble in the vein

Out of, but not of the agony cries
Little comes before the soldier boy dies
They say that after the fight
The weaker still know
The hand that did the signing robbed the cock of its crow

Pack up your
Pack up your
Pack up your

And if the drowning is cruel, my hands unravel at your back
And if your fear should, it's just a shadowless boss
And if the christ should sleep
And then to the cross

Out of, but not of the agony cries
Little comes before the soldier boy dies
They say that after the fight
The weaker still know
The hand that did the signing robbed the cock of its crow

Pack up your
Pack up your
My hands unravel at your back
I've got a lot of things to look out for
I've got a lot of people banging on my front door
I've got a lot of things to look out for
I've got a lot of things to think about
Pack up your
Pack up your
Pack up your
I've got a lot of things to look out for
I've got a lot of people banging on my front door


11. I AM YOUR HEART

Mother come quickly, see what i see
Steel, orange animals jumping at the trees
Jumping at the trees

Brother oh brother, come here the sound
Rattles our cages, tears at the ground
Tears at the ground

I am your heart, speaking, before i freeze

Father oh father, there's a shadow across the land
Once stood a jungle, now is only sand
Is only sand

Sister my sister, there's a hole in the sky
There's a hole in your heart when your children ask you why
Children ask you why

I am your heart, speaking, before i freeze
