Come and go with me children Beautiful soul don't keep it in Can you transform the pain you feel? The birds of prey have swallowed The breadcrumbs you left behind To find your way back from the soul mines But sooner or later Sooner or later you'll feel the spirit move you And it'll come down to this, vibrator It'll come down to this, vibrator It'll come down to Beautiful child of God and man There's a messiah inside of you At times you feel like your life don't mean a damn thing But beware of the reflections that sorrows bring But sooner or later Sooner or later you'll feel a groove It'll come down to this, vibrator It'll come down to this, vibrator It'll come down to ...... VIBRATE! Come and go with me Laughing children seldom weep Laughing angels never sleep When your candle is burning low Strike a match and curse the darkness Feel it shaking like a bowl of soup Let it go loop de loop Starts the shaking Like you can't stop it But sooner or later When you least expect it You will feel connected Way down deep in your soul It'll come down to lift you It'll come down to Come and go with me children Would you be my teacher? Would you be my electric preacher? Just know that I need you

Take off your topcoats Put on your raincoats And now give up your birthright And don't you cry 'Cause in 23 verses now A storm is a-comin' And you'll be too surprised To wonder why And it will Rain rain Go away, go away Rain rain Come back again another day Step out your cool suit Snap on you wet boots And now eat all you mushrooms Until you see That in 22 verses now A storm is a-brewin' And you'll be too annoyed For victory 'Cause it will Rain rain Go away, go away Rain rain Come back again another day China glass & A chocolate bar I'm leaving behind So my children's children Children's children Will see what's left of me Cue up the James Brown And jack up the funky sound now Say it won't be the last time You hear a scream 'Cause in 21 verses now A storm is a-ragin' And you will satisfy your destiny And it will Rain rain Go away, go away Rain rain Come back again another day

You're top man on the scene You don't think life comes in between But hey, she's just seventeen She feels that she's a worldly girl But man you've been around the world She is just some worried daddy's girl Even though there's nothing I can say To cheat you and nature any way Let her down easy Her heart is on a dime Let her down easy And you'll grow up in time In her strawberry eyes The way she sees you signifies That she's susceptible to your velvet lies But if you must lay her down May a butterscotch glow be her dressing gown And please do not lead her on when you leave town Even though there's nothing I can say To cheat you and nature any way Let her down easy Her heart is on the line Let her down easy And you'll grow up in time She's a woman now With a daughter to make her proud In her crayon world of paper clouds She still remembers you The first boy that she gave it to And she laughs at how little then she knew Her daughter's five and her grandfather adores her (of course) Let her down easy Her heart is on the line Let her down easy And you'll grow up in time

Dearest ones in an eye of a star life is brief A speck of dust from grass to leaf If on the ascendant your soul arises And doesn't contradict what your esence extemporises I've been the hermit and the love thief And paid for the privilege with tears of grief Which soon by nature circumcises This song will be brief One day in the spring a question fell And went straight through me Do bleeding angels sing when close to tears? I need the answer So if you go before me would you let me know? If you go before me would you let me know? One day in the year a bullet screamed And ripped straight through you And I saw the sun begin to bleed Above a flood of tears and sirens And are spirit's colour blind? So if you go before me would you let me know? If you go before me would you let me know?

This isn't living now A thing my father said to me And get a haircut, boy If you want a chance in respectable society Why did you stop writing? I knew you had some trouble, son But you should know by now That my number doesn't change Because my dirty deed is done All I need from you And that's all Regardless of whatever you do And that is that you understand That I'll never turn my back on you How are your wife and child? I'm sure your little girl has grown And give them a kiss and a smile That's what my daddy said In a letter very long What kind of man would I be? If I left you in despair (and then he wrote) And I miss your mother, son Cause if she were still alive She'd tell you too You should cut your hair All I need from you And that's all Regardless of whatever you do And that is that you realise That I'll never turn my back on you Whatever you do just try to get through to me Remember the time we got drunk on wine by the sea And I laughed when you tried to stagger home by yourself You were stubborn then and you are still stubborn now All I need from you And that's all Regardless of whatever you do And that is that you understand That I'll never turn my back on you

Wet your lips And let's fall in love You are beautiful to me Wet your lips and let's do a thing With a view to make your spirit sing I have come to be your man In a strange and hostile land So wet your lips And let's fall in love And stay with me Wet your lips And let's fall in love You are blood and wine to me Wet you lips And let's do a turn With a view to make your body burn I'll rebuild the scenery Into garden greenery So wet your lips And let's fall in love And stay with me Wet your lips And let's fall in love You're the molecular soul of me Wet your lips And let's dip your wings Into shapes of many things I have come to bring new life And to help you squeeze it from your slice So wet your lips And let's fall in love And stay with me I will feed you like a bird From the mouth of my dying words So wet your lips And let's fall in love Wet your lips And let's fall in love Wet your lips And let's fall in love Stay..... Girl you take me higher Yeah you take me deeper Girl you take me higher

Spoken: Sweetheart listen, I know the last few pages Haven't been good for the both of us And I've caused you a lot of grief But put those bags down, o.k.? Before you make a decision like that, Please just listen to me 'Cos I don't want you to leave. I definately don't want you to leave Just hear me out. Honey, don't leave me now With my head on my shoulders wrong Have I done something wrong for you to leave? I know I've been careless, girl And I must apologize I'll try better next time, baby If you let me stay If you let me stay I'll say what I should've said If you let me stay I should have said that I love you It you let me stay And I should have said it from my heart If you let me stay How can I compensate For my indiscretions, dear Tell me it's not too late That I'd love to hear If you walk out on me You will see a grown man cry I didn't miss my water Till my well ran dry But if you let me stay If you let me stay I'll say what I should've said If you let me stay I should have said that I love you It you let me stay And I should have said it from my heart If you let me stay Your pretensions aim for gullible fools And now who needs you anyway?

{And I don't believe you love me anymore} (anymore)
Lately you've been acting strange to me
Somehow it's not the way it used to be
You're doing things you never dared to do before
{And I don't believe you love me anymore} (anymore)
I've felt your love grow colder day by day-ay-ay
When I try to hold you close you turn away
There must be someone else you're running for
{And I don't believe you love me anymore} (anymore)
{And I don't believe you love me anymore} (anymore)

Seems like the last guy you were with Was only interested in trying to bring you down Tear you down and keep you down But sweetness all I want to do is adore you And to help you restore you to your rightful glory The poet of your indecision speaks Undeniably I love you Undeniably I love you Baptized by the fire in your eyes I was mesmerized A perfect night in Paradise I spent with you and paid the price I know that angels must to their clouds return But I'm left to burn And blow a kiss to what might have been And blow a kiss to what might have been Undeniably I love you Undeniably I love you yes I do Inside of you I promised you a sweet refrain That only the sweetest grapes would pass your lips And then remain in cool sustain To let my words caress your ear and Say the things you long to hear But instead I blow a kiss to what might have been I blow a kiss to what might have been Undeniably I love you girl yes yes you know I do Undeniably

Fortunately you have got Someone who relies on you We started out as friends But the thought of you just caves me in The symptoms are so deep It is so much too late to turn away We started out as friends Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my baby Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my lady Time I'm sure will bring Disappointments in so many things It seems to be the way When your gambling cards on love you play I'd rather be in Hell with you baby Than in cool Heaven It seems to be the way Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my baby Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my lady Birds never look into the sun Before the day is gone But oh the light shines brighter On a peaceful day Stranger blue leave us alone We don't want to deal with you We'll shed our stains showering In the room that makes the rain All alone with you Makes the butterflies in me arise Slowly we make love And the Earth rotates To our dictates Slowly we make love Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my baby Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my lady

Now do you love me like you say you do baby? (Do you love me like you say you do?) Listen baby, until I find the river I won't be satisfied with who I am In my Monasteryo your love ran hot or cold Symphony or damn I wanna be careful not to lose by laughter What I've gained by tears So here's a question baby You answer I most need to hear Now do you love me like you say you do baby? (Do you love me like you say you do?) I give my best to the best of your breed Take my heart pretty baby I believe that I have all that I need I exist for you wholly in this hour As the leaves exist Surely for the sake of the flower Now do you love me like you say you do baby? (Do you love me like you say you do?) It seems that you have all these emotional dragons That you must slay I believe your daddy didn't treat you right So it seems now TTD must pay The troubles advance while the sorrows retreat Yet whichever road you travel baby I genuinely wish you godspeed But before you go answer my question Now do you love me like you say you do baby? (Do you love me like you say you do?)

She is negative as can be And she's weak emotionally But she kissed me And she put it there She's got a chip on her shoulderblade And her attitude makes me afraid But she kissed me And she put it there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there When I'm bare She kisses me there When she bets She'd never hedge She likes walking on the razor's edge But she kissed me And she put it there She likes rap and metal really loud And she makes her other home girls proud But she kissed me And she put it there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there When I'm bare She kisses me there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there When I'm bare She kisses me there She's as simple as a girl can be Yet she has a cool complexity But she kissed me And she put it there When she met me I was still a boy Now I'm an older woman's toy Because she kissed me And she put it there

I left the east side for a west coast beauty A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses She was down by street decree She swore she'd pull my best years out of me Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes Her face was my favourite magazine Her body was my favourite book to read They say that all poets must have an unrequited love As all lovers must have thought provoking fears But holding on to you means letting go on pain Means letting go of tears Means letting go of rain Means letting go of what's not real Holding on to you I left the rough side for a seaside baby A chamomile smile that pouts on cue For every moment I breathe her sigh Her bosom contains my sweet alibi In an emotional mist she breathes in fog And breathes it out as garden flowers Why me of all the tough talking boys? I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise They say that all poets must have an unrequited love As all lovers must have thought provoking fears But holding on to you means letting go of pain Means letting go of tears Means letting go of the rain Holding on to you Means letting sorrows heal Means letting go of what's not real Holding on to you They say that all poets must have an unrequited love As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal Means letting go of what's not real Holding on to you I left the east coast for a west coast beauty A woman who burned my thoughts like kisses She was down by street decree She swore she'd pull my best years out of me Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas Goodbye Picasso hello Dali The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod She's my new religion she's all I got They say that all poets must have an unrequited love As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears But holding on to you means letting go of pain Means letting go of tears Means letting go of rain Means letting sorrows heal It means letting go
