Frantic lyrics

My sun is set--and my day is done
When I turn to the east I can see no dawn
But iron horse come--buffalo gone
Like blades of grass they cut us all down

Yes I know what it is to be free
To run as far as the eye can see
But long knife come--buffalo gone
Like blades of grass they cut us all down

Why in the world are you so cruel?

Here is a girl who's working in a factory

I thought you'd be my streetcar named desire
My way--my taste of wine
I thought you'd be that flame within the fire
One dream that just won't die

All night--out looking for new love
Impossible true love--nothing at all
Looking for new gods--looking for new blood
Looking for you

I thought I'd find you walking in the rain
Just like a wayward child

When the heat is on you rant and rave
Your poison pen your shotgun slave
You realize life's not the same
Your tortured sighs, they fall like rain

When the cold wind blows I think of you
Your emerald eyes, your golden shoes
You walk away from my rage
On the flaggy shore I watch the waves

Vermilion sky I don't think so
A cigarette and voices low
What should I do--what could I say?

Walk up the driveway endlessly curving
Go through the front door, it's so inviting
Baronial great hall once so exciting
Haunted by shadows faces in hiding
Chair by the fire, I feel a tremor
Silent reminder you used to be there
You are the princess, my wand doth wake you
Fantasy playmate candlelight lover

Teasing in French lace, exotic promise
So undemanding, yet understanding

(Bert Russell and Jerry Ragevoy)

I thought I could find the kind of girl
Who'd think that I was the only guy in the world
No more half-hearted kisses, oh that's bad enough
Oh-oh-oh, no more teardrops, no one-way love
One-way love
Don't look for someone who likes to love fast
You know that that kind of love will never last
If she's fast and furious, oh that can be tough

(Ferry/Stewart)

Unconscious in Versailles
Press play begin
See my life flash by
Oh neon wind
Hiroshima mon amour
I wake up in Chiang-Mai
Think I must jack in
I hear the wild girls cry
Oh neon wind
Hiroshima mon amour
You make me weep
You make me moan
A thousand suns
And then you're gone
Blade runner in the night
Burn out Berlin
Oh neon wind
Hiroshima mon amour

(Huddie Ledbetter)

I asked your mother for you
She told me that you was too young
I wish to the Lord I'd never seen your face
or heard your lying tongue
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I have a great notion
to jump into the river and drown

In days gone by
There was a king
A fool for love
And all it brings

So high and wise
Could read your mind
A fool for love
And love is blind

A crowded street
An empty train
A fool for love
You cry in vain

In days gone by
There was a queen
A fool for love
And all it means

Red ruby lips
Don't touch my eyes
A fool for love
And love is blind

Like flowers in the rain

(Traditionally attributed to Richard Coeur de Lion - Richard the Lionheart)

Ja nun hons pris ne dira sa raison
Adroitement, se dolantement non
Mais par effort il faire chancon
Mout ai amis, mais povre sunt li don

(Bob Dylan)

Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break o' dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
But don't think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe

Marilyn says I got nothing to wear tonight
Only a pair of diamond earrings that catch the light
Platinum blonde--is it true that you have more fun
Siberia--now I'm sad and all alone

Goddess of love
I can't go on without you--oh I want you
Goddess of love
Nobody cares like I do--what can I do?

Marilyn says all the best things in life are free

(Don Nix)

I'm goin' down
Down down down
I'm going down
Down down down
I've got my big feet on the ground

I'm goin' down
Down down down
I'm goin' down
Going back underground

Oh let me down without a sound
I'm going down down down down
I'm going down down down down down
You gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh again, all my tears are gone

I'm goin' down
Down down down

(Bob Dylan)

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
