Long Way to Run

I just want to feel it
I just want to hear the truth one more time
I will go down fighting
I will lay it on the line one more time, one more time
'Cos I'm a fool, a fool for you
Why do you make me suffer like I do?
Going to turn my face to the setting sun
'Cos I've still got a long, long way to run
In my mind I'm building
a pretty picture of the time when it's done
Life is sweet and simple
You are there and that is all, all I want, all I want
'Cos I'm a fool, a fool for you
Why do you make me suffer like I do?
Going to turn my face to the setting sun
'Cos I've still got a long, long way to run
Babe, you got to keep your light on
I've got to go but keep that light on for me
Babe, you got to keep your light on
Want to feel that light on me
Got to feel your light on me
'Cos I'm a fool, a fool for you
Why do you make me suffer like I do?
I'm going to turn my face to the setting sun
'Cos I've still got a long, long way to run

Desolation Angel

You say you’ve got nothing new
To say to me, well, that’s alright
I wish I was somewhere else
Anywhere but by your side
Oh Desolation Angel
Take my hand
Oh Desolation Angel
Time has scored too many lines
These neon lights don’t shine for you
Stuck inside their terradome
We can’t pretend we’re passing through
Oh Desolation Angel
Take my hand
Oh Desolation Angel
Take my hand
Now the singer throws her head back
And the drunks begin to sway
Lifts her arms like some blues preacher
And if only we could reach her, yeah, if we only could…
Give everybody love
Give everybody love
And they will give it back
Yeah, they will give it back
Oh Desolation Angel
Take my hand
Oh Desolation Angel
Take my hand…
Give everybody love
Give everybody love
And they will give it back
Yeah, they will give back
You say that you tried and failed too many times
For my foolish lines to work on you

Blackout, lockdown
Blackout, lockdown
Blackout, lockdown
Blackout, lockdown
“I can’t see the stars tonight
I can taste the fear”
Little darling, close your eyes
They can’t do that here
They won’t do that here
“I can’t unsee the things we saw
Can’t wash away the stain”
Little darling, close your eyes, close your eyes
Blackout, lockdown
Blackout, lockdown
Blackout, lockdown
Blackout, lockdown
Little darling, close your eyes
They can’t do that here
They can’t do that
I’m just trying to understand
I’m hoping I can find someone to explain
Now we’re running down that road
Now we’re rotting in the sand
A truly brutal game
Down to the boulevard and get in line
You get yours and I’ll get mine
Pulling on the lever till the shit comes down
Break all the windows in this dirty town
Down to the boulevard and get in line

Pursuit of Love

On his knees tonight, leaking shame
Checks his script, forgets his name
Oh my love, are we still here?
Are we still here?
The river runs over it
The river runs under it
The rivers runs through it
The rivers runs over it
The river runs under it
The river runs through it
The river runs
He takes the car downtown to play his part
Oh my love, are we still here?
Are we’re still here? Are we still here?
The river runs over it
The river runs under it
The river runs through it
The river runs
Have you heard the news tonight?
Have you seen the news? Fifty souls have taken flight
The river runs over it
The river runs under it
The river runs through it
The river runs under it
The river runs over it
The river runs through it
The river runs
The river runs over it
The river runs under it
The river runs through it
The river runs over it
The river runs under it
The river runs through it

Turned to Flame
03:46

|
She gets off the bed, pulls on her dress
And stepping lightly, she's heading for the door
Turns and says, "Smile babe, one day you know you'll thank me"
He shuts his eyes and wonders why
This empty space inside was never there
Before she came and turned his world to flame
Stolen time and borrowed lines
Confuse the fact that he didn't read the signs
He takes off her dress, she does the rest
Says, "Smile babe"
And his mind implodes
As morning sun explodes
He knows nothing can stay the same
Now the world has turned to flame
And his head implodes
As his mind explodes
But she looks just the same
Now she’s turned his world to flame
Goodbye babe
Smile babe

Song 5

This song does not dare to name
The things we find inside ourselves
And do not want to share in thought or word or deed
With men like you and me
This song was scrawled across my hand
Howled into the wind
Sent spinning through the night on whisky sodden wings
This song is all we have to sing
This song
This song grieves a broken baby doll
Splinters in the dirt
Flesh spitting on the bone
In a place we still call home
We sing this song
And now the stars are black and cold
Black and cold
The stars

Slick is Back (Live)
04:00

Put your hands up
Keep your head down
Put your hands up
Keep your head down
'Cos something's coming
Slick is back in his gangster suit and cement boots
Slick is back, shout it everybody
Slicks is back, put your hands up
Yeah, Slick is back
He's hanging people out of windows
Hanging people out to dry
Slick is back to make you feel it
Slick is back to make you cry
So put your hands up
Keep your head down
'Cos something's coming
Slick is back like a storm cloud
Slick is back, Slick is back
Shout it everybody
Yeah, Slick is back
I'm down on my knees
I'm spitting out sand
With a gun at my head and a cell in my hand
We've got to spit it out, spit it out
You know we all need to figure out what Slick is all about
