Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
They're going to destroy our casual joys
We shall go on playing or find a new town

Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin and you know this is it

Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone

. . .


You're lost, little girl
You're lost, little girl
You're lost
Tell me who are you?

Think that you know what to do
Impossible yes
But it's true

I think that you know what to do
Yeah
Sure that you know what to do

You're lost, little girl
You're lost, little girl
You're lost
Tell me who are you?

Think that you know what to do
Impossible yes
But it's true

I think that you know what to do
Girl
Sure that you know what to do

You're lost, little girl
You're lost, little girl
You're lost

Love me two times, baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times, girl
I'm goin' away

Love me two times, girl
One for tomorrow
One just for today
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me one time
I could not speak
Love me one time
Yeah, my knees got weak

Love me two times, girl
Last me all through the week
Love me two times
I'm goin' away
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me one time
I could not speak
Love me one time
Yeah, my knees got weak

Love me two times, girl
Last me all through the week
Love me two times
I'm goin' away
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me two times, baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times, girl
I'm goin' away

Love me two times, girl
One for tomorrow
One just for today
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me two times, baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times, girl
I'm goin' away

Unhappy girl,
Left all alone
Playing solitaire
Playing warden to your soul
You are locked in a prison
Of your own
devise.
And you can't believe
What it does to me,
To see you
Crying.

Unhappy girl,
Tear your web away
Saw thru all your bars
Melt your cell today
You are caught
in a prison
of your own
devise.

Unhappy girl,
Fly fast away
Don't miss your chance
To swim in mystery
You are dying
in a prison
Of your own
devise.


. . .


When the still sea conspires an armor
And her sullen and aborted
Currents breed tiny monsters
True sailing is dead

Awkward instant
And the first animal is jettisoned
Legs furiously pumping
Their stiff green gallop
And heads bob up
Poise
Delicate
Pause
Consent
In mute nostril agony
Carefully refined
And sealed over

. . .


Let's swim to the moon,
let's climb through the tide.
Penetrate the,
evening that the,
city sleeps to hide.
Let's swim out tonight love,
it's our time to try.
Park besides the ocean,
on our moonlight drive.

Let's swim to the moon,
let's climb through the tide.
Surrender to the waking world,
that laps against our side
Nothing left open and no time to decide.
We'll stop into a river on our moonlight drive.

Let's swim to the moon.
Let's climb through the tide.
You'll reach your hand to hold me,
but I can't be your guide.
It's easy to love you as I watch you glide.
We're falling through wet forests on our moonlight drive.
moonlight drive.
Come on baby, gonna take a little ride.
Come on. Down by the ocean side.
Get real close, get real tight.
Baby, gonna drown tonight.

. . .


People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange

. . .


My eyes have seen you
My eyes have seen you
My eyes have seen you
Stand in your door
Meet inside
Show me some more
Show me some more
Show me some more

My eyes have seen you
My eyes have seen you
My eyes have seen you
Turn and stare
Fix your hair
Move upstairs
Move upstairs
Move upstairs

My eyes have seen you
My eyes have seen you
My eyes have seen you
Free from disguise
Gazing on a city
Under television skies
Television skies
Television skies

My eyes have seen you
My eyes have seen you
My eyes have seen you
Let them photograph your soul
Memorize your alleys
On an endless roll
Endless roll
Endless roll
Endless roll

. . .


I cant see your face in my mind
I cant see your face in my mind
Carnival dogs consume the lines
Cant see your face in my mind

Don't you cry
Baby
Please don't cry
And dont look at me with your eyes

I cant seem to find the right lie
I cant seem to find the right lie

Insanity's horse adorns the sky
Can't seem to fing the right lie

Carnival dogs consume the lines
Cant see your face in my mind

Don't you cry
Baby
Please dont cry
I won't need your picture
Until we say good-bye

. . .


When the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end

When the music's over
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection
Send my credentials to the house of detention
I got some friends inside
The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window wonґt drop
A feast of friends alive she cried
Waiting for me
Outside

Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly

Come back baby
Back into my arms
We're getting tired of hanging around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound
Very near yet very far
Very soft yet very clear
Come today

What have they done to the earth
What have they done to our fair sister
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it
Now
Now?
NOW!!
Persian night
See the light
Save us Jesus

So when the music's over
Turn out the lights
The music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
