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

Oh, we were walking

Just the other day

And it was so hot outside

You could fry an egg

Remember you were talking

And I watched as the sweat ran down your face

Reached up and I caught it at your chin

Licked my fingertips

We were, we were just

Wasting time (wasting time)

Let the hours roll by

Doing nothing for the fun

A little taste of the good life

Crazy how it feels tonight

Crazy how you make it all alright love

Crush me with the things you do

And I'd 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 there sleeping

Let's go drive 'til morning comes

Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
Crush me with the things you do
And I 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 wondrous as you there sleeping
Let's go drive 'till morning comes

Come in from the cold for a while
Everything will be alright
Come in from the noise for a time
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright

For now, goodbye, friend,
Goodbye.

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

Not 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 me

And here I will spread my wings

Yes I will call this home

What's this you say

Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions

You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking

Love, you drive me to distraction

Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,

Our flesh and blood

It ties you and me right up

Tie me down

Celebrate we will

Because life is short but sweet for certain

We're climbing two by two

I hear more than I like to...

So I boil my head in a sense of humor...

I laugh at what I cannot change...

I throw it all on the pyre again...go then and do this
I'd do it for you...

When all that I want is so badly to be...

By myself again...

It's going to drive me right out of my brain

Drive in drive out I'm leaving

Drive in drive out

I'll come back again

When I step into the light

My arms are open wide

When I step into the light

My eyes searching wildly

Would you not like to be
Sitting on top of the world with

Your legs hanging free

Would you not like to be ok, ok, ok?

When I'm walking by the water

Splish splash me and you takin a bath

When I'm walking by the water

Come up through my toes

To my ankles

To my head

We were above

You were standing underneath us

We were not yet lovers

Dragons were smoked

Bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy

Eat, drink, and be merry

For tomorrow we die

Eat, drink, and be merry

For tomorrow we die

'Cause we're Tripping Billies

We're wearing nothing

Nothing but our shadows

Shadows falling down on the beach sand

Remembering once,

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 caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertip
Wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
Little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay, stay, stay for awhile

Oh well oh well so here we stand
But we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
How can I turn to it
'Cause I'm all locked up inthis
Dark place - And I do not know
I'm as good as dead
My head aches- Warped and tied up
I need to kill this pain

My head won't leave myhead alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone

Ten fingers counting we have each

Nine planets around the sun repeat

Eight ball the last if you triumphant be

Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea

It's a typical situation

In these typical times

Too many choices, yeah

Itâs a typical situation

In these typical times

Too many choices.

Everybody's happy

Everybodyâs free

We'll keep the big door open

Could I have been

A parking lot attendant

Could I have been

A millionaire in Bel Air

Could I have been Lost somewhere in Paris
Could I have been

Your little brother

Could I have been

Anyone other than me

Could I have been

Anyone other than me

Could I have been

Anyone other than me

Could I have been

Anyone

He stands touch his hair his shoes untied

by the Dave Clark Five
Tell me, do you want my love
Tell me what you're thinking of
I've been waiting round so long
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
I hope you're not trying to make a fool of me
Cause if you are I know there's going to be
Some tears falling, and they won't be mine
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
Some people may want many loves, my friend

Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head

Slip into my lover's hands

Kiss me oh won't you kiss me now

And sleep I would inside your mouth

Don't be us too shy

Knowing it's no big surprise

That I will wait for you

I will wait for no one but you

Look please lover lay down

Spend this time with me

Together share this smile

Lover lay down

Walk with me, walk with you

So I'm leaving...

This Warehouse frightens me.

Has me tied up in knots,

Can't Rest For A Moment.

Soon I'm Going...

I'm slipping slow away

Hoping to find something better than

I've got inside here

And the Warehouse slips away...

Hey reckless mind

Don't throw away your playful beggining

You and I will fumble around in the touches

And be sure to...

There must be some kind of way out of here

Said the joker to the thief

Too much confusion
I can't get no relief

Business men they

Drink my wine

Oh, and the plowmen dig my herb

None of them along the line

Know what any of it's worth

No reason to get excited

The thief he kindly spoke

There aren't many here among us

Sometimes I feel like I'm falling

Fall back again, fall back again,

Fall back again, fall back again

Oh, life it seems a struggle between

What we see, what we do
I'm not going to change my ways

Just to please you, or appease you

Inside a crowd, five billion proud

Willing to punch it out

Right, wrong, weak, strong

Ashes to ashes, all fall down

Look around about this roundabout

Swing in this tree

Oh I am bounce around so well

Branch to branch,

limb to limb you see
All in a day's dream

I'm stuck

Like the other monkeys here

I am a humble monkey

Sitting up in here again

But then came the day

I climbed out of these safe limbs

Ventured away

Walking tall, head high up and singing

I went to the city

Car horns, corners and the gritty

Recently I've been

All of content and dreaming I have been

'Cause I've been lately seeing

Quite a bit of this woman live on my street

People stare and we just ignore everything

People stare and we just ignore them

And they go away, go away

She comes to me

I watch her drink

I watch her comb her hair

Both say that we never before have

Felt as recently

Spoon in Spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
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
Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
