Black Hole Sun







In my eyes, indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again






Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come







Stuttering, cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes
In my shoes, a walking sleep
And my youth I pray to keep
Heaven send Hell away
No one sings like you anymore


Black hole sun
Won't you come

Where Did The Night Go




  


Long ago the clock washed midnight away
Bringing the dawn
Oh God, I must be dreaming
Time to get up again
And time to start up again
Pulling on my socks again
Should have been asleep
When I was sitting there drinking beer
And trying to start another letter to you
Don't know how many times I dreamed to write again last night
Should've been asleep when I turned the stack of records over and over







So I wouldn't be up by myself
Where did the night go?
Should go to sleep now
And say fuck a job and money
Because I spend it all on unlined paper and can't get past
"Dear baby, how are you?"
Brush my teeth and shave
Look outside, sky is dark
Think it may rain
Where did

Downtown






If there was a place downtown
That they talked about every day
Then I'd wanna move uptown






Tell the microphone he can't play
Tell the acid man we don't want to
Tell the microphone he can't play
Tell the acid man we don't want to






There's not a lot that you can say
To make the microphone man go away







There's not a lot you can say
To make the microphone man go away

The day is coming





You need it, that's for sure
You receive, but always want more
Take it for granted, this lifetime and what's up ahead
But the day is coming
The day is near


You know what I mean
The day is coming
The way is clear







The day has come
Bang bang, on the door
You opened, not knowing what for

Cause the day is coming
The day is near

You know what I mean
The day is coming
The way is clear
The day has come

After Midnight






After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout






We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about







 After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight, gonna shake your tambourine
After midnight, it's gonna be peaches and cream






We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out

Lift me up








Plain talking 
Take us so far
Broken down cars
Like strung-out old stars






Plain talking
Served us so well
Travelled through hell
We know how it felt

Plain talking
Making us bold
So strong out and cold
Feeling so old






 Plain talking
Has ruined us now
You never know how
Sweeter than thou

Lift me up
Higher now

Dirty Dream








Dream one, you had a whole lot of fun with a comedian
Stop short of going all the way, you'll have to make it someday

Why is this happening to you, you're not a child?
Why is this happening? You've too much on your mind
Things creep up on you when you are fast asleep
You are dreaming, you are sleepy
You are stuck to the sheets






Dream two you couldn't see her face, but you saw everything else
Dream two was pretty special, easily beats loving yourself

Could you put a name to someone else's sigh?
Could you put a face to someone else's eyes?
Is it someone that you'd maybe recognize?
But it all fades into morning when you open your eyes

In a town so small there's no escaping you
In a town so small there's no escape from view
In a town so small there's nothing left to do

Strangers on a train





Pardon me sir
Is this seat taken
I overheard you say
Not stirred but shaken
And I could really throw one back

Such a thirst doesn't always permit
Forward tact
So, if you would sir
Pardon me
A stiff one is my specialty

Strangers on a train







Oh, I think we're going faster
From the mount to the pasture
Just look at that scenery
It's lovely

I really like to ride the train
Especially when I forget where I'm going
I really like the way it feels
The motion of the wheels

Strangers on a train

Full Circle







Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise yo' drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday

In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come full circle






If
There's a spell on you that
I could take away
I would do the deed
Yeah and by the way
Here's to Heaven knows
As the circle goes
It ain't right
I'm uptight
Get off my toes!

Not A Lot To Do








Not a lot to do
Think of all
The places I could be
People I could meet
Life so small

I'm watching drops of rain
On my window pane
Empty streets

And no one knocks around
No one goes to town

I'm a-going out
Sick of staying in
Living life









With worries on my mind
Waste away the time

Put my life of shame
Through the window pane
Now I'm blessed

And I can live on my own
And stay in all day
And watch the rain falling down
I lay on my bed
I feel all left out
And switch off my head
