01. In My Time Of Dying

Well, in my time of dyin'
Don't want nobody to mourn.
All I want for you to do is
Take my body home, Well, well, well,
So I can die easy, Well, well well,
Well, well, well, So I can die easy.

Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.

Well, meet me, Jesus, meet me,
Meet me in the middle of the air.
If these wings should fail me, Lord,
Won't you meet me with another pair,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy, Well, well well,
Well, well, well, So I can die easy.

Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.

Well, in my time of dyin'
Don't want nobody to mourn.

Take my body home, Well, well, well,
So I can die easy, Well, well well,
Well, well, well, So I can die easy.

Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.
 
Well, meet me, Jesus, meet me,
Meet me in the middle of the air.
If these wings should fail me, Lord,
Won't you meet me with another pair,
Well, well, well, So I can die easy,
Well, well well,
Well, well, well, So I can die easy.

Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.

Don't want nobody to cry,
All I want you to do is
Take me when I die.
Well, well, well, So I can die easy,
Well, well well,
Well, well, well, So I can die easy.

Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up,

02. Stardust

Oh, look what they've done to the rock'n'roll clown,
Oh, rock'n'roll clown, look he's down on the ground,
Well he used to high fly
but he crashed out the sky
In a Stardust fling, hey
rock 'n roll king is down

Roll on up, won't you come and take a look at me,
Roll on up, come one at a time and see me
See my painted-on grin
as I stand up to sing
In a stardust fling, hey
rock'n'roll king is down

But he's the leader of the band
He is a lonely man
Don't you wanna take his hand
Yes you know you can

Well he used to high fly
but he crashed out the sky
In a Stardust fling, hey
rock 'n roll king is down

In a Stardust fling, hey
rock 'n roll king is down

In a Stardust fling, hey
rock 'n roll king is down.
 
 
03. I Cast A Lonesome Shadow

Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room
And the lamplight streaming over me projects my lonely gloom
My counterpart in agony mocks each tear that falls
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

He's always by my side at night no matter where I go
He lurks out in the darkness or in the neon's glow
He follows me across the steps and up and down the hall
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

I sit and watch the candle and the flicker of the flame
My writhing shadow twists and turns as though it is in pain
I'm trying to escape the memory my mind recalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned
Are as empty as this bottle that I hold in my hand
My soul is buried in the depths of love and life's pitfalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
 
 
04. In My Other World

In my other world
There is no pain
And all my thoughts
Are clouds of happiness
In my other world
My heard beats red
There is no gun
Pointed at my head

And I don't really want your kiss
My thoughts don't make me cry
My heart's not filled with grey sadness
My ears can't hear you lie
And I can't even see your face
I've never heard your name
My heart is still my thoughts are calm
And the light has filled this space

In my other world
My pain is bliss
I own your soul
I own your kiss
In my other world
 
 
05. Loverman

There's a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
It is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
There's a devil waiting outside your door
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
He's shouting your name and he's asking for more
There's a devil waiting outside your door

Loverman! Since the world began
Forever, Amen Till end of time Take off that
dress I'm coming down I'm your loverman
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am

L is for LOVE, baby
O is for ONLY you that I do
V is for loving VIRTUALLY all that you are
E is for loving almost EVERYTHING that you do
R is for RAPE me
M is for MURDER me
A is for ANSWERING all of my prayers
N is for KNOWING your loverman's going to
be the answer to all of yours Loverman!

Till the bitter end while empires burn down Forever and ever
and ever and ever Amen I'm your loverman
So help me, baby So help me
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am, I'll be your loverman!

There's a devil crawling along your floor
There's a devil crawling along your floor
With a trembling heart, he's coming through your door
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
There's a devil crawling along your floor
And he's old and he's stupid and
he's hungry and he's sore and he's lame and he'sblind
and he's dirty and he's poor, give him more
There's a devil crawling along your floor

Loverman! Here I stand Forever, Amen
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
Forgive me, baby My hands are tied
And I got no choice No, I got no choice at all I'll say it again

L is for LOVE, baby
O is for O yes I do
V is for VIRTUE, so I ain't gonna hurt you
E is for EVEN if you want me to
R is for RENDER unto me, baby
M is for that which is MINE
A is for ANY old how, darling
N is for ANY old time

I'll be your loverman! I got a masterplan
To take off your dress And be your man
Seize the throne Seize the mantle
Seize the crown Cause I am what I am
What I am what I am I'm your loverman!
There's a devil lying by your side
You might think he's asleep
but look at his eyes
He wants you, baby, to be his bride
There's a devil lying by your side
Loverman! Loverman!
 
 
06. By This River

Here we are stuck by this river
You and I underneath a sky
That's ever falling down down down
Ever falling down

Through the day as if on an ocean
Waiting here always failing to remember
Why we came came came
I wonder why we came

You talk to me as if from a distance
And I reply with impressions chosen
From another time time time
From another time
 
 
07. Lost In the Stars

Before Lord God made the sea and the land,
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand.
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand,
And one little star fell alone.

Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star on the wind down there.
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost again.

Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him,
So long as the Lord God's watching over them,
Keeping track of how it all goes on.

But I've been walking all the night and the day,
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray.
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away,
And we're lost out here in the stars.

Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night,
And we're lost out here in the stars.
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night,
And we're lost out here in the stars.
 
 
08. Oh My Love

Oh my love for the first time in my life,
My eyes are wide open.
Oh my love for the first time in my life,
My eyes can see.

I see the wind,
Oh, I see the trees.
Every thing is clear in my heart.
I see the clouds,

Oh, I see the sky.
Everything  is clear in our world.
Oh my love for the first time in my life,
My mind is wide open.

Oh my lover for the first time in my life,
My mind can feel.
I feel the sorrow,
Oh, I feel dreams.

Everything is clear in my heart.
I feel life,
Oh, I feel love.
Everything is clear in our world.
 
 
09. Das Lied Vom Einsamen Mädchen

Sie herzte sanft ihr Spielzeug
Bevor sie es zerbrach
Und hatte eine Sehnsucht
Und wuBte nicht wonach

Weil sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein
Und wer von diesem Wein trank
Konnt' nie mehr glucklich sein

Doch einer sprach im Fruhling:
"Auch Du fuhlst Lust und Schmerz"
Und brach ihr tausend Rosen
Doch sie brach nur sein Herz

Weil sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein
Ja, keine konnt' so kussen
Und doch so einsam sein

Was blieb von ihrem Leben
Ein Lied, das niemand sang
St. Peter lieB sie warten
Zwei Ewigkeiten lang

Weil sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Herz so tot wie Stein
Dann rief er: "Armes Kind, komm,
Sollst nie mehr einsam sein"

10. Tiny Girls

Well the day begins
You don't want to live
'Cause you can't believe
In the one you're with
'Cause you know her tricks
And you know her past
When she makes a face
You just have to laugh
And you feel like such a know-it-all
When you only want just a tiny girl
And you hope she'll sing

So you turn around
Toward the tiny girls
Who have got no tricks
Who have got no past
Yea that's what you think
And you hope she'll sing
But she sings of greed
Like a young banshee
And she wants for this
And she wants for that
What did you think
 
 
11. Candy Says

Candy says, I've come to hate my body
And all that it requires in this world

Candy says, I'd like to know completely
What others so discreetly talk about

I'm gonna watch the bluebirds fly
over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch 'em pass me by
maybe when I'm older

What do you think I'd see
if I could walk away from me

Candy says, I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be

Candy says, I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind

I'm gonna watch the bluebirds fly
over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch 'em pass me by
maybe when I'm older

What do you think I'd see
if I could walk away from me

Doo-doo-wah
Doo, doo-doo-wah
Doo, doo-doo-wah
Doo, doo-doo-wah
Doo, doo-doo-wah
Doo
 
 
The Song of The Lonely Girl (Das Lied Vom Einsamen Mädchen)

Tenderly she cradled her toy
Before she smashed it up
A longing filled her heart
What for, she did not know

For she was lonely
And her hair so fair
And her mouth as red as wine
And whoever drank of this wine
Could never know happiness again

Yet, someone spoke up in springtime:
You, too, know pleasure and pain."
He brought her a thousand roses
Yet she only broke up his heart

For she was lonely
And her hair so fair
And her mouth as red as wine
Yes, no one could kiss so
And still be so lonely

What remained of her life
A song which no one sang
St. Peter kept her waiting
For ages

For she was lonely
And her hair so fair
And her heart as dead as stone
He called forth: "Come, poor child,
You shall never be lonely again."
 
 
Life Is Strange

Strange,
life is strange, life is strange,
Oh life is strange.

O god, life is strange,
People come and people go,
Some move fast and some move slow,
No, no, no, no, no.

O god, life is good,
Some are fat and some are thin,
Some don't even ask you how you've been,
No, no, no, no, no.

Strange,
life is strange, life is strange.
Oh life is strange.

O god, life is strange,
Some are fast and some are slow,
Some believe, me don't even know,
No, no, no, no, no.

Strange,
life is strange, life is strange.
Oh my life is strange.
 
 
Left Hand Luke And The Begger Boys

Call yourself friend, and look me in the eye,
I'll unstrap my knees an apologise,
'Cos I'm, Left Hand Luke and the begger boys,
O yes we are.

Ain't no neighbours, upon our hill,
'Crept slight thigh Be-bop and old gumbo jill,
But I'm, Left Hand Luke and the begger boys,

And it hurts deep inside,
Just call us taxi mama and we'll take you for a ride,
'Cos we're, Left Hand Luke and the begger boys.
O yes we are.

Left hand luke and the begger boys,

But I got so shook up mama that it ate away my knees,
And I'm Left Hand Luke and the begger boys,

If you had some silver mister how much would you pay for me?
'Cos I'm, Left Hand Luke and the begger boys,
O yes we are.
