I'M ALONE.
Naked and alone I flew into the misty daylight blue,
Captive of my warm dark lord till the scissor cut the cord...
Highlights settle on a metal sea...voice of someone calling me...
I tune into my frequency, and scream into infinity...
I'm alone from the first... all alone I build my church on this very earth
People in school never understood. You dance around, now you're being good.
All the fears and the crazy lies you told to keep your hopes alive.
You took on talking like a second skin, the element you sheltered in was words...absurd!
All the games, well you played 'em good. The clever deed and the clever word
Allowed you to escape inside. You gotta place where you go to hide.
And you find your friends who were freaks before the judges you're competing for
Say, “OK, you can go for more now! Stand up, but stand to order!”
I'm alone from the first... all alone I build my church on this very earth
You keep on talking till you hit the time. Words fail; you gotta fall back on rhyme.
You hold hands till you're back on track, but the hands you held, they held you back.
You need to be the centre of attention, you can`t get enough.
The men you meet make you move your feet, but the women give you shoes.
On the road now your feet are free. You got no choice now you gotta see
How the life goes for the others: brown-skin sisters, black-skin brothers.
Flying feet high in the air, hotel room and market square.
There's a friend within you and a friend without.
Now you see the truth and you scream it out...
Come the day when the world turns right, and all the fires you lit burn bright.
Seedlings dive. One gonna thrive. And the world won a new child for the hive.
And on your head the flame still stands. The kiss of hearts, the join of hands
Cannot deny the infant's dreams as into space another screams
I'm alone from the first... all alone I build my church on this very earth.

The Vatican...
Do you know who came by to see us?
Do you know who called today?
The high priest on his high wire
Addressed us all and he did say,
“Your bodies are too proud
Your music is too loud!”
Take it down now brother to the bin you're in...
Check it up and sell it to those poor lost sinners...
(Not to us poor lost singers).
Put a precious in your pocket.
There's a price upon your head.
And there's a killer out there in the conclave, buddy
That's working for “You're dead!”
Well,I never became a member,
Or did what I was told,
But I'm damned if I don't remember that the rat's in a holy hole!.
Sometime soon another bishop
Gonna move across the board ...
Another old man on a mission from God
Gonna play his hand 'n lay down the law.
But I'm here tonight to warn you,
And open all the doors,
And let in light, maybe start a fight...
The Holy Bar-room Brawl!
Coz, anything the Vatican you can do better,
You can do anything better than they can.
You can do anything better than the Vatican...
Anything the Vatican you can do too!
Anything the Vatican you can do better...
You can do anything, anything you wanna do!

You Can Buy Up All My Debt
You know I owe a little money, coz I bought a brand new car
It's the latest on the market, an' it sure goes fast and far
But I'm never gonna get to pay it, and the same thing with my flat
So I'm here to sell you “bonos”, and you can buy up all my debt
Well, I borrowed from my grandma, from the box beneath her bed
Coz I needed to take a toke or two to clear to clear my heavy head..
And the answer flashed before me... simple as it can get..
I'll sell off a load of “bonos”, and pay off all my debt.
So here's the deal, my brothers, and this is what you'll get..
For every bond you buy from me, that's a hundred euros off my debt
And you won't believe what happens, what you'll get in ten years time...
A thousand euros back again! Come on now! Get in line!
I'm learning from the bankers... gonna be a rich man yet
So I'm here to sell you”bonos”, and you can buy up
Yeah, you can buy up, ah baby you can buy up,
All my debt!

The Scream In Nature
The sky, it talks in whispers, and the clouds are moving slow
An' all the seas are calling up their grudges
While a burning boat, burning sinks below...
Cracking, snapping, crackling... the earth itself is on the rack..
Lava baths are beckoning, day of reckoning talk is coming back.
Motion in the northern skies has for a while been frozen..
In the west a fierce wind is rolling, folding, folding up the ocean.
In the Eastern city on the seaboard see the earth begin to part..
I hear the scream in Nature, I hear the screaming start!

Do What You Want
You got me listening, but my voice is still,
I hear a minstrel on a distant hill...
His song is simple, and the tune is light,
He's calling to me in the hungry night.
Too many songs have died along the roads,
Too many memories, too many loads;
I keep my poetry all locked away,
I keep my secrets for a rainy day.
I'd tell you, baby, if I only knew
The way the Man has taken hold of you,
The way the Law is walking through your door...
It's in your telephone, it's in your core.
With all the poets on their way to jail,
Your freedom song is sounding kind of frail.
She's cold and hungry but you have a choice
You need to feed her with the prisoner's voice.
I'm making music, I'm waking up,
I'm taking time again, I'm making love.
The song is simple, but the tune's gone wild...
Do what you wanna do, do what you like!
I keep my promises, I'm keeping time
With all my brothers, with their other rhymes.
The days are crazy, and the nights are hot...
Do what you wanna do, do what you want!
I call your bluff, I call you out,
You'll lose your bearings in this angry crowd,
When all the artists are all locked away
The song will always remain the same.
We're making music, we're waking up,
We're making trouble, we're making love.
The days are crazy; the nights are hot...
Be what you wanna be, do what you want!
