I peaked inside of the open door
Looked around - don't know what for
Way too bright - could hardly see
Oh no - can't believe it
Oh yeah - could almost see it
In a dream in blue

I flew around with shiny things
And when I spoke, I seemed to sing
High above - floating far away
Oh no - can't believe it
Oh yeah - could almost see it
In a dream in blue
In a dream in blue
Sock it to me one time

Woke up laughing in my bed
A silly smile stuck on my head
Am I real or still in a dream
Oh no - can't believe it
Oh yeah - could almost see it
Oh no - can't believe it
Oh yeah - could almost feel it
In a dream in blue
In a dream in blue


. . .



My legs are tired
My face feels hot
Wake up Dolores
Please try to walk

Oh sacred night
Ocuiltin
Moyacatla

Our light is dim
We have so far to go
The stones are hard
On this endless road

Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night

As an eagle soars
Our spirits fly
To our gentle rest
Under loving sky

Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night

Ocuiltin
Moyacatla
Otlica
Auh in caltech


. . .



Broken window smile
Weeds for hair
Strolling 'round the corner
Like a millionaire

And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone

With one shoe on
And one shoe lost
Stands a wounded man
Who just laughs it off

And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone
And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone

Lost a brother last night
To the howling wind
Find an empty doorway
It'll be back again

And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone
And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone


. . .



Looking out my window
I see my world has changed
The sun won't rise this mornin'
'Cause my baby's gone away

Yesterday I could tell myself
That she'd be back for sure
But that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore

She used to go out with the girls
Every now and then
She always came home early
We'd jump in bed by ten
She'd tell me that she loved me
She would forevermore
But that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, alright

Nothin' changes faster than baby's fickle mind
I know she's lovin' someone
Somewhere down the line
I know that she still has a key
I'm waiting by the door
But that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, alright

She ran out through the back door
Screamin' in the night
She said I was the devil
I didn't treat her right
That man down at the station
Said "That was her for sure"
Now that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, ah shucks


. . .



Kiko and the lavender moon
Out playing - makes believe
Nobody can see
And then he waits
And then he fakes
And then he bends
And then he shakes
He plays and plays
Still playing till he
Goes off to sleep

Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dancing making faces at
A big black cat
And then he flies
Up to the wall
Stands on one foot
Doesn't even fall
Dance and dance
Still dancing till
He goes off to sleep

He always sleeps
Till the sun goes down
He never wakes
Till no one's around
He never stops
Can't catch his breath
It's always there
Scares him to death

Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dreaming 'bout green shoes
Haircuts and cake
And then he wishes
The world away
And then he kneels
As if to pray
He dreams and dreams
Kiko and the lavender moon


. . .



Hammer and a nail
Hammer and a nail
Saint behind the glass
Holds a hammer and a nail

Baby in his arms
Baby in his arms
Saint behind the glass
Has a baby in his arms

Watches me sleep
Watches me sleep
Saint behind the glass
Watches me while I sleep

Coffee in the air
Coffee in the air
Saint behind the glass
Smells coffee in the air

Curtains blowing 'round
Curtains blowing 'round
Saint behind the glass
Sees the curtains blowing 'round

Night upon my head
Night upon my head
Saint behind the glass
Lays night upon my head

Mother don't cry
Mother don't cry
Saint behind the glass
Tells mother not to cry


. . .



Maybe it was the way he walked
Or the way he combed his hair
Could have been the fancy words
Or the sweet wine in the air

Wasn't the muddy shoes she'd hear
Slow coming up the hall
Or the faces in the pictures
That were hanging on the wall

[Chorus:]
Knock down the door to Reva's house
There's something going on
The dogs were barking late last night
There's something going wrong

Maybe she hoped he would just go away
And wake up alone in bed
Maybe there was no reason
For the things that he had said

[Chorus]

Didn't find the matches
Couldn't light them in the dark
Could only hear the sound
Of the breaking of her heart

"Don't know where to run to
I don't know where to hide
Can't hold my head up anymore
Don't listen when I cry"

[Chorus]


. . .



Could have had a chance to get out of this wreck
The time that you came and the day that you left
Could have had a chance
Could have had a chance

Never thought I could make it this far
With a dent in my soul and a hole in my heart
Never thought I could
Never thought I could

[Chorus:]
But when the lights are turning 'round
And wheels are rolling on the ground
That day I'll burn this whole place down
When the circus comes to town

You left your name carved on a tree
You scratched mine out right in front of me
Didn't mean that much
Didn't mean that much

[Chorus]

I'll scratch your name out on that tree
I'll chase your heart right out of me
Doesn't mean that much
Doesn't mean that much

[Chorus]

Arizona Skies

[No lyrics]

Dreams wash down the gutter
All my hopes in vain
Crows up on the rooftop
Laughing out my name

Here I am on the short side of nothing
Here I am on the short side of nothing

We danced all night as life stood by
We told another lie
Found a spot down by the roadside
There I closed my eyes

And here I am on the short side of nothing
Here I am on the short side of nothing
All alone, all alone
Can't find my way home

Summer has come and the heat hangs low
No escape in sight
Sirens scream and lovers moan
Just like any other night

And here I am on the short side of nothing
Here I am on the short side of nothing
All alone, all alone
Can't find my way home


. . .



Two Janes running along the tracks
Saying "We don't want to live this way
Ain't never coming back"

Jane number one looked as happy as can be
Jane number two knew what could set them free
Too many nights hiding under beds
Too many fears to fill their pretty heads
Everyboy knows they must have been insane
So goes the tale of two Janes

Tears falling down behind the bedroom door
"No matter how I try, I just don't know what for
Too many times, I'm banging into walls
Too many times, I cry but no one ever calls"
Everyboy knows they must have been insane
So goes the tale of two Janes

Jane number one is standing at the gate
Jane number two has the key that holds their fate
Too many angels with brand new silken wings
Too many cries for love but no one hears a thing
Everyboy knows they must have been insane
So goes the tale of two Janes
Everyboy knows they must have been insane
So goes the tale of two Janes


. . .



Rain, rain, rain, a wicked rain
Falling from the sky
Down, down, down, pouring down
Upon the night
Well there's just one chance in a million
That someday we'll make it out alive

Rain, rain, rain, an evil rain
Falling all the time
Sun, sun, sun
Sun don't ever want to shine
Well there'll be no light in the morning
Till some peace at last we find

Like travellers in the darkness
Can't see our way
Trying hard to make it through
Another day

Father, father, father
Why do you let your sons go astray
Brother, brother, brother
Why must we go on this way
There's a storm off in the distance
And it looks like it's here to stay

Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain


. . .



Heaven is a place where good men go
Maybe it's a place that I won't know
Heading down that whiskey trail

Mama told me not to run, 'cause I might fall
But never was the kind to listen much at all
Heading down that whiskey trail

Damn that old whiskey trail

Daddy drank his dinner from a paper sack
Made it out the door one day
And never came back
Heading down that whiskey trail

They say that I'm a chip off a son of a gun
With nowhere to hide out and nowhere to run
Heading down that whiskey trail

Can't you hear the engines wail
Damn that old whiskey trail

Can't you hear the engines wail
Damn that old whiskey trail


. . .



Just a man - made of blood and bone
Thrown away - all that was once my own

Old and worn - and tired too
Of cold so cold - and blue so blue

Endless love - washed away in the sand
Too much to lose - for just a man

In my time - never had my fill
Of broken hearts - for just a thrill

Letting my love - run through my hands
Too much to lose - for just a man

Don't put too many
Cards on this hard-headed man
Take whatever is yours
And get as far away as you can

No gret clouds - lined with silver and gold
No little boy - to watch me grow old

I play the game - as I know I can
So much to lose - for just a man

So much to ache - so much to break
Too much at stake - for just a man


. . .



Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to the world

I see a baby in a crib
Reaching up for Mama's arms
Love is rising in their hearts - oh yeah

There is a man standing on the street
Shouting loud above the crowd
Saying amen to everyone one around - oh yeah

I see a man who loved his land
Laying lifeless on the ground
He said the time is now
To bring peace to the world
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to the world

We build a wall of stone
As high as the trees are tall
Higher then the mountains
Stronger then us all - oh yeah

Some day that wall will crumble
Tumble and fall, the sun will shine
And bring peace to us all
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Bring peace to us all
Bring peace to us all

We build a wall of stone
As high as the trees are tall
Higher then the mountains
Stronger then us all - oh yeah

Some day that wall will crumble
Tumble and fall, the sun will shine
And bring peace to us all
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Peace to us all
Peace to the world


. . .



Habla me Rio de Tenampa
Canta me canciones de valor
En este rincon del cielo
Dejo mi carino y amor
