Before These Crowded Streets lyrics

Hup! Oww...
yeah yeah yeah yeah ow
chiki picka wow
Hup! ey yeah
Come and relax now
Put your troubles down
No need to bear
the weight of your worries here
let them all fall away

Ha, open wide, oh so good I'll eat you, take me for a ride
In your sweet delicious, perfect little mouth
Thereupon I linger,
You will have no doubt that I do my best for you, I do
Love, let's stop to get it going
Lost myself just thinking about the two of us
From each other drinking
Begin with the lips, fingertip and kissing
Turn me inside out, I do my best for you

Yeah, yeah, aww, umm, ummm

The Last Stop

Fire
The sun is well asleep
The moon is high above
But fire grows from the East
And how is this
Hate so deep?
Lead us all so blindly, killing, killing
Fools are we
If hate's the gate to peace
This is the last stop.

For raining tears...

War
The only way to peace
Well, I don't fall for that
Raining tears
You're righteous, so righteous...
You're always so right

Don't Drink the Water

Don't drink the water here...

Come out, come out, no use in hiding.
Come now, come now, can you not see
There's no place here, what were you expecting?
No room for both, just room for me.

So you will lay your arms down,
Yes, I will call this home.

Away, away, you have been banished.
Your land is gone, and given to me.

And here I will spread my wings.

Stay (Wasting Time)

We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
You could fry an egg.
Remember you were talking
I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and I caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertips

We were just wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
A little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong

Halloween

Oh, little chicken eyes open and staring up at me
Only two lonely eyes, so rare and raging...
Wait 'til I come and she would leave you
Wait 'til I come and she would go
Wait 'til I come and she would leave you
Wait 'til I come and she would go

Watch it man, leave it where you lie
I come for you, a-lightly
I suck up into your mind
We'll leave it all behind

The Stone

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Now I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Yes, I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear

Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
Oh, but this weighs on me

Crush

Crazy, how it feels tonight.
Crazy, how you make it all alright, love.

Crush me,
With those things you do
And I'll do for you
Anything, too, oh...

Sitting, smoking, feeling high...

And in this moment
Oh, it feels so right...

Lovely lady, I am at your feet,
Oh, God, I want you so badly.
And I wonder this:
Could tomorrow be so wonderous
As you lay sleeping?

The Dreaming Tree

Standing here
The old man said to me,
"Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree."
Below it he would sit
For hours at a time
Now progress takes away
What forever took to find
And now he's falling hard
He feels the falling dark
How he longs to be
Beneath his dreaming tree

Conquered fear to climb
A moment froze in time

Isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day
Like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away
Just thinking out loud
Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
But looking at blood
It's alive right now
Deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate moving wine to tears
Drinking it deep
Then an evening spent dancing
It's you and me

Spoon

Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
And on my way came up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone

From hand to hand,
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
Could Dad be God?
Crosses cross hung out like a wet rag
Forgive you? Why?
You hung me out to dry
And maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
