Drama Of Exile lyrics

I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 125
Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black

I
I will be King
And you
You will be Queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
You
You can be mean
And I
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers
And that is a fact
Yes, we're lovers
And that is that

Though nothing
Will keep us together
We could steal time
Just for one day
We can be heroes

I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you

On your padded shoulder
And your golden chest
In a wilderness of glass we rest
And all the flowers they are our words
And my chances follow dances
Into a storm afraid

A sweet and bitter rest he gets
A sweet and bitter rest he gets

I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you

He reminds all the laughter
That has left me going down
And my heart is falling silently
Into the driving evening sound
Sometimes we must keep from bringing
Certain thoughts up to the light
And a matter of the winning
In a case of two lips lies

I have been looking out for him
From over this broken bridge
The safest place it seems to be
To ever reach his purple lips

Give awareness and some light
To the darkness outside
A roof above my head might just be right
For such a tender night
Give awareness and some light
To the darkness outside
A roof above my head might just be right
For such a tender night tender night

The bridge will show you how to fall
More than one good person you can call

Stepping on the stairway
Climbing up the wall

White light lays above
The Henry Hudson riverbank
And you will see a lady standing
Stealing past a happy ending
Staring at the happy landing
Her heart beats loud and fast
Her love looks like a broken glass

White light lays above
The riverbank
A sinking ship has brought the light
Upon the land
And Henry Hudson knows not where
The lady's standing

A lonely shoulder must grow older

Will there be another time
Will there be another time
Another year, another wish to stay?

Will there be another time
Will there be another time
Another year, another wish to stay?
When the evening light wants to be so bright
And the morning sound is out of sight
Can there be another word to say
Or do we have to give it all away?

Many moons have to be found

The hours since I saw you last
Have left me in an unknown past
They do not seem to leave me
They seem to join me on the road
Or even when I take a boat
A light
Insanely bright is standing
A fainting force
My loneliness remains attending

The hours since I saw you last
Have left me in an unknown past
They do not seem to leave me
They seem to join me on the road

Orly flight
Madrid tonight
Close the door
On the last floor
Close the flight
Prepare your sight
As if you'd never
Seen the light

Understand
The fortune spent
This crazy crime
Has no regret

Orly flight
Madrid tonight
Close the door
On the last floor

Orly flight
Madrid tonight
Close the door
On the last floor

Close the flight
Prepare your sight
As if you'd never
