The Cry of Love lyrics

YOU GOT MY PRIDE, HANGIN' OUT OF MY BED
YOUR MESSIN' WITH MY LIFE SO I BOUGHT MY LEAD
EVEN MESSIN' WITH MY CHILDREN
AND YA SCREAMIN' AT MY WIFE
GET OFF OF MY BACK
IF YOU WANTA GET OUTA HERE ALIVE

FREEDOM, FREEDOM
GIVE IT TO ME
THAT'S WHAT I WANT NOW
FREEDOM, FREEDOM
GIVE IT TO ME
THAT'S WHAT I NEED NOW
FREEDOM, FREEDOM
GIVE IT TO ME
TO LIVE
FREEDOM, FREEDOM
GIVE IT TO ME
SO I CAN GIVE

There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
Ridin down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
takes him higher
Tryin to find his heaven above
but he's dyin to be loved

*note: I'm not exactly sure about these next 2 lines*

He's tellin me livin
is so magic
Something is forever
so he claims
He's talkin' bout lyin
it's so tragic baby
But don't you worry bout today
we got freedom comin' our way

Solo

How long

EZY RYDER

THERE GOES EZY, EZY RYDER
RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OF DESIRE
HE SAYS THE FREE WIND TAKES HIM HIGHER
TRYIN' TO FIND HIS HEAVEN ABOVE
BUT HE'S DYIN' TO BE LOVED
DYIN' TO BE LOVED
HE'S GONA BE LIVIN'SO MAGIC
TODAY IS FOREVER SO HE CLAMES
HE'S TALKIN' ABOUT DYIN' IT'S SO TRAGIC BABY
BUT DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT IT TODAY, WE GOT FREEDOM COMIN' OUR WAY
FREEDOM COMIN' OUR WAY

HOW LONG DO YOU

SHE'S JUST A NIGHT BIRD FLYIN' THROUGH THE NIGHT
FLY ON
SHE'S JUST A NIGHT BIRD MAKIN' A MIDNIGHT, MIDNIGHT FLY
SAIL ON
SAIL ON
WELL SHE'S FLYIN' DOWN TO ME
UNTIL TOMORROW I CAN SET HER FREE
SET HER FREE
SO ALL WE GOT BABY IS ONE PRECIOUS NIGHT
ALL WE GOT IS ONE PRECIOUS NIGHT
PUT ON YOUR BLUES AND SHOES AND THINGS AND RAGS
DOWN UNDER THE BED
JUST WRAP ME UP IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL WINGS

Hey, look out for my glass up there, man!
That's my drink, man, that's my drink, alright...
Make it a double, or eh...
Somebody has to sing
Some body will sing?
Somebody will sing, right?
(I don't know!)

Y'all pass me that bottle,
And I'll sing you all a real song
Yeah!
Let me get my key, ahum!

Well, I'm looking through Harlem
my stomach squeal just a little more

Hello, my friend
So happy to see you again
I was so alone
All by my self
I just couldn't make it

Have you heard, baby
What the winds blowing round
Have you heard, baby
A whole lot of peoples coming right on down

Communication, yeah
Is coming on strong
And don't give a damn, baby
If your hair is short or long, huh

I said, get out of your grave (noo)
Everybody is dancing in the street, hi!

Here I come to save the day

A little boy inside a dream just the other day
His mind fell out of his face and the wind blew it away
A hand came out from heaven and pinned a badge on his chest
It said Get out there, man, and do your best ooh…

They call him Astro Man
And he's flyin' higher than
That faggot Superman ever could

Oh, they call him Cosmic Nut
And he's twice as dense as Donald Duck

BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP

THE MORNING IS DEAD
AND THE DAY IS TOO
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT HERE TO GREET ME
BUT THE VELEVET MOON
ALL MY LONELINESS
I HAVE FELT TODAY
IT'S A LITTLE MORE THAN ENOUGH
TO MAKE A MAN THROW HIMSELF AWAY
AND I CONTINUE
TO BURN THE MIDNIGHT LAMP
ALONE

NOW THE SMILING PORTRAIT OF YOU
IS STLL HANGIN' ON MY FROWNING WALL

Well I, I just came back today…
I just came back from the storm.
Yeah!
I said: “I just came back, baby…
I just came back from the storm.
Yeah, from the storm.
Well, I didn’t know it then,
But I was sufferin’, sufferin’
For my love to keep me warm.
It was so cold and lonely, yeah.
The wind ’n’ cryin’ blue rain
Were tearing me up.
It was so cold and lonely.

Well. I'm up here in this womb
I'm looking all around
Well, I'm looking out my belly button window
And I see a whole lot of frowns
And I'm wondering if they don't want me around

What seems to be the fuzz out there?
Just what seems to be the hang?
'Cause you know if ya just don't want me this time around,
yeah I'll be glad to go back to Spirit Land
And even take a longer rest,

BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP

THE MORNING IS DEAD
AND THE DAY IS TOO
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT HERE TO GREET ME
BUT THE VELEVET MOON
ALL MY LONELINESS
I HAVE FELT TODAY
IT'S A LITTLE MORE THAN ENOUGH
TO MAKE A MAN THROW HIMSELF AWAY
AND I CONTINUE
TO BURN THE MIDNIGHT LAMP
ALONE

NOW THE SMILING PORTRAIT OF YOU
IS STLL HANGIN' ON MY FROWNING WALL

STRAIGHT AHEAD
