You can lie to your lover, dishonor your mother
You can covet another man's wife
You can lay with a stranger, court death and danger
But you cannot hide from the eyes of Cassandra
Make deals with the devil, speak under and over the level
Fill the children's minds with fright
Stir the ire of the scornful, make refuge in minds of the mournful
But you cannot hide from the eyes of Cassandra
Do your deeds dark and cunning, paint your moods black and bloody
Cut your lifeline, quick and cover your eyes
Though you may not believe her you may never deceive her
No you cannot hide from the eyes of Cassandra
Like all warriors I have hated what I have done
And lost I agreed to forget and in fear not see what I'd become
But I cannot hide
I cannot hide
Come on pretty mama let me be the strong papa I was meant to be
Basketball's the means to me
If only for a minute I wish you would give it up
It's only the game and only you, you're the only one
I believe you I see it that you never would leave
But if you really want to hit it you're gonna have to keep it clean
Oye Vaya! Oye Vaya!
You I know love you daddy and I know that you're bad
But if you really wanna win it you're gonna have to get the ball back
Kitten I'm cold I'm ashamed I'm stting out
It's eating my soul I'm at my record low
It's not in the throw but the way that you hold it
Go on and take it to the network you know you work it for me
You're gonna work
Oye Vaya
Vamanos
Come de mi mano
Shadows fall and start to crawl across the stones of a Spanish street
From just beyond to underneath the shelter of the moon
And so it begins, a maiden wins her passage into the night
And come what may, just as storm winds spray, both ashore, and left to right
But most of all, like the far off squall that forms in distant view
She lay inside the pierced divide that splits hers from me and you
Let me love, let me walk the floor
Let me cross to shore
I want to be with you, I want to be with you
Let me love, let me lock the door
Let me closer boy
I want to be with you, I want to be with you
We are we are we are we are we are
I'm not meant to know when she comes so I set my intention
I send up my intention
I'm not meant to know, I'm ready to go
I'm at the hearth in the kitchen
At the hearth, ready, and set to go she comes...
Knock down, knockin that door in
Knock down, knockin that door in
We are we are we are we are we are
The ghost and the witness
I am nobody, nobody is who I am
I am a traveler on this land
And nothing, nothing in my hands
I am nobody, nobody is who I am
I am a wanderer on these sands
And I got down on my knees and folded my hands
And on the great wings of a great bird
I was carried to a temple
Where I heard the word...
Dead man on the run, him and his shotgun
Panic in the street, testing one two three
Simple is the song-- sing to carry on
Dead man on the run, him and his shotgun
I am nobody, nobody is who I am
Through the red sky on the crow's wing I stand
And now to the radiant sun I surrender myself again
Then higher through the fire and to Orion with the raven
I look into the eyes...
You say, you say that you're leaving
I guess you never minded
Being open to misinterpretation
Time, time, time
Time you should be going
And all I wanna know is
How you're gonna do it
These days
The prize of immortality
Holy Immortality
It ain't worth a rusty razor blade
We don't know how to sacrifice our kings no more
We don't crucify our kings no more
So our kings, they take it on themselves
They take it all upon themselves
And they sacrifice themselves
So all I wanna know is how you're gonna do it
How you're gonna do it
Holy, holy, holy
Holy Immortality
These days ain't, ain't worth a rusty razor blade
Don't cover your mouth girl laugh out loud
If you're given to shouting girl stand up proud
One's my limit so help me God
One's my limit so help me God
Once you've given it up it's gone
One's my limit, said one's my limit
Please listen to me lay of the land
Sea of Japan
Speak no further to me I'm taking a stand
I can't understand you, no
On with the show, they're making us leave
Woke up alone about a quarter to three
Go to the boat we travel by sea
I hear a voice from where the stowaway's keep
She said, can I get some relief?
Laugh girl don't cover your mouth you know it's the same release
I know what you're doing you're making me plead
No one's my limit you'd quit it if you were true Japanese
A moment of mercy for the Japanese Sea?
No, once you've given it up it's gone and don't make believe
I'm not fooling you it's true I'm a merman's dream
You've got no control of what you're saying to me
You want to disclose
Please listen to me lay of the land Sea of Japan
Speak no further to me I'm taking a stand
I can't understand you, no
Why Ayayo?
There’s nothing left to do here but retaliate
I’m no too sore but I’m stuck with a mild irritation
I can’t afford to miss you once I’ve set things straight
I’m going to take all the time I need to get out the sensation
When you’re not around to mess up my decisions Grace
I’m going to blow all I got on a Black Sea vacation
I got to get back together
Step back to let her connect it
I confess it’s my cross to bear
And Grace she says:
“I’m on your side when your running’s over, take it slower”
Yeah Bob he and his brother don’t see much the same
But he just looks as it just as if it’s a shit situation
And Anthony’s a Texan with a simple fate
But he got caught up in a plan to make a wild elaboration
He’s got no cause or reason to get complicated
He took the freakout path and head out on a Black Sea vacation
The lobsters in Virginia got a bitter taste
They been in salt and vineger since as long as I can remember
The trout in western Maine got no New England trace
They been out lost in hot pursuit of Canada naturalization
And where the waters meet there’s no division grate
There's only undertow and the current flows to a Black Sea destination
Isn't it time I'm forgiven?
And isn't our time almost through?
Could it have been my indecision that makes you do the things you do?
We're saving for the future
I blame it on the past
We'd make ourselves of use now if we let the moment last
When I shut you out I cut you in, got to factor in what's missing
I walk away, I walk away
I want to act with your permission
I know what you face up to we choose
Saving for the future
I blame it on the past
We'd make ourselves of use now if we let the moment last
Take on what comes to us even if it's sad
Take in what we choose now and we let the moment pass
Somehow we get through it we can let it pass
And when we want to get loose now we can let the moment last
Set out all your five cent drinks and cool the carafe for the apple or the lemonade
Stay up on the right hand curb in case a cop become a siren
Run a light and off you girl
I know that summer's slowing down but lift your chin up off the ground
I'm sorry I had to sleep so late
My God has five o'clock already come and gone?
It must have been a storm my dear that tore through August
Left the street a mess and wet with rain
Step out from off my shoulders girl it's you that I get optimistic over anyway
Rain on reddened streets the killing fields and hanging trees
I'm almost out of air
Flood Rome let it fall the sea's too deep for wrecking balls
I'm almost out of air
Can I start again?
God knows I got no guarantee
I'll wake up for the light in August or the memory
It's just a matter of indifference don't let the thought of it control you now
Don't you now
Mother don't you recognize your son?
Care for what your careless love has done
Lay your teary face against my hand
Let your boy in it's the morning he's at the door
Kiss his forehead let him know that you're in control
He might ignore it might forget you never feel it
That's the hardest part the start is where the art is
When you're low and you've hit your floor but don't let it show
Act as if I'm next to you breathing in it there's relief
I'm your blanket don't wake up with misty morning eyes no more
The rain has staked its claim on water and mist for sisters
If you want let your light take the sun to task
It don't take all that long
I'm conceited to think you need me to tell you what you're feeling
I could draw it make a mix to let you know
I'm a artist that's where my heart is so let's get started
Either way hit your low or reach your peace of mind
You find you can forget and let go
Let it go
It don't take all that long to rip it up and put it back together
I'm a razor, shaper, ruler, paper, first in my class at arts and crafts
It don't take all that long
