Hooterization-A Retrospective lyrics

If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
And the land that I once loved is not my own
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two,
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four

Holy Moses met the Pharaoh
Yeah, he tried to set him straight
Looked him in the eye, "let my people go"

Holy Moses on the mountain
High above the golden calf
Went to get the Ten Commandments
He's just gonna break them in half

All you zombies hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you

She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night
She was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight
I could feel her coming from a mile away
There was no use talking, there was nothing to say
When the band began to play and play

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced danced

Give me what you can tonight
Time is all we have to play
Tell me you can't live without me
Tell me every day by day by day
Nothing lasts forever, only fades away
Day by day

Give me what you can tonight
I'm back tomorrow anyway
Show me some appreciation
Show me every day by day by day
The chance you gotta take's the price you gotta pay
Day by day

It's a sleepless night, She's callin' your name
It's a lonely ride, I know how you want her
Again and Again, you're chasin' a dream yeah
But Johnny my friend, she's not what she seems

Johnny B, how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red
Oh why can't you see, oh Johnny B

Hush little baby don't cry like that
God's gonna buy you a Cadillac
He's chosen you to do his will
You can spread the word in your coupe de ville

So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite

Look to the heavens and see it shine
Heals the sick and leads the blind

A thought in my head (I think) of something to do
Expressions tell everything, I see one on you
When I was invisible, I needed no light
You saw right through me (you said) was I out of sight?

My love, she comes in colors
You can tell her from the clothes she wears

When I was in England town, the rain fell right down
I looked for you everywhere, I could not be found

Surrender into the night
Silently take my hand
Nobody knows what's inside us
Nobody understands
They handed us down a dream
To live in this lonely town
But nobody hears the music
Only the echo of a hollow sound

Where do the children go
Between the bright night and the darkest day
Where do the children go
And who's that deadly piper who leads them away

Nervous night, time on my hands
Private invasion of the promised land
Two on the run, that's you and me
Maybe we can make it through this emergency

Oh, nervous night
African queen, we said so many things we didn't mean
Maybe another day, maybe it'd be alright
Oh, nervous night

Right outside, shiny and clean
A million vegetables I must be dreaming

Freedom has its ups and downs
Walk the streets of lonesome town
Try to find some company
Somebody who will talk to me

Well I'm here all alone
A wind blows home
We'll find it someday
There's no reason to cry
For days gone by
Oh, Karla, we can make it if we try

Hurricanes and Cadillacs
They run you down and don't look back
Oh where can my salvation be

See the stars that shine and give us light
One less star is in the sky tonight
Words alone won't keep our tears away
But I know that star will shine again someday

And heaven laughs when we say good-bye
It ain't so far to the other side
Someday soon we will meet again
Say it over and over and over 'til then

Dream tonight about a last embrace

Here we are on the battlefield
A civil war is all each other feels
You say blue and I say gray
But we know love ain't love if it fades away
Don't let it fade away

Just leave these troubles behind
And break down all the battle lines
Open up your eyes girl, we're fightin' on the same side

Here we are on the battlefield
Wounded by the words that cut so deep

Well I pass him by on the street each day
Brother, don't you walk away
He's about my size and about my age
Brother, don't you walk away
Down a different road, might've been my friend
Brother, don't you walk away
But you never know how the road will bend...

Brother, don't you walk, Brother, don't you walk away
Brother, don't you walk away
Tell me why it so hard to say

You lived on Vine Street
I lived at home
The music was all that we had of our own
No satisfaction, no dance in my car
But I had the keys to the world in my beat up guitar

With my beat up guitar
You and I will ride away
From the town that rocked the nation
Philadelphia, PA

Kensington Station, we sat on the tracks
I wrote you a song
The one you knew it was flat
