Woman On A One Night Stand
I'm laying my eyes over you, sweet man I'm breathin' so loving hard on you
And I've got the quivers for you, mister,
Oh, oh, oh, I can't hold myself quite together.
with you struttin' your stuff 'round, makes me feel like a two-bit girl,
Can't get my fill of you, with me so poor,
for the thrill of you, stop, I want more.
Honey, take me for what I am,
I'm a woman on a one night stand.
Honey, pay no mind to who I am.
Oh, I can hear the others talkin', sayin' I'm easy prey,
That's okay babe, it's just my way,
Make no mistake sweet thing, I hate to let you go.
And don't think I'll cry for you honey after tonight, when goodbyes are due
There's no hands and knees for me mister,
It's only a game, we're playing all for free,
So come on and take me, let's have some fun with it,
You're playing for keeps, that gives me the creeps,
You should lay your lovin on the line, I want more.
Come on now, honey, take me for what I am,
I'm a woman on a one night stand ...
Day Breaks My Heart
Come to me at twilight, love me in the quiet
Of the day that's dying', madness holds me waitin',
Hopinthat I will be taken across the silence eerie,
Darkness calls the sun down, love light fills the gloamin', oh ...
Day breaks my heart, takes you away,
Wakin' we part, break for the day.
You take my heart, when can you stay,
Day breaks my heart, it takes you away.
Bathe me in the shadows, haunted by the lonely
Phantoms drenched in darkness, love, a veil of stardust,
Liftin' us into the twilight, rushes through the quiet
Shades of growin' higher, lovin' through the night.
The Fool
The butterfly does it overhead, and the dog bites at my leg,
I'm steppin' right off the edge, can you take on the Fool?
Trancin' round through fields of joy, I change from girl to boy,
Can you deliver fun from cruel, could you laugh at truth with a Fool?
I got no name and I got no race and
I got no mind to tie down with you,
I give you all my psychic flowers but
You can't have me, no, I am the Fool.
You trust so slowly to refuse, sweet fool what's to lose?
You could begin at the end if you choose, the mad hold hands with a
fool.
Sunlight fills the everywhere as we step across the air,
Could you wear the world as your jewel,
Could you shine it on as a fool?
You want teasin' and you want freedom and
You want pleasin' to be taught in school,
You need playthings and everyday things but
You can't have me, no I am the Fool.
You want teasin' and you want freedom and
You want pleasin' to be taught in school,
You need playthings and everyday things but
You can't have me, no you are a fool.
Orange Street Blues
Let me in, oh baby, help me out; let me in, help me out, let me in.
Can I down the pills for you baby
Soak up your ills for you maybe
I know you're feelin' so poor, but man, you're in for the cure.
Go down Orange Street Mission, they bandage wounds for salvation.
Tie up your blues with a prayer, could be you're better off there.
Let me in, oh baby, help me out; let me in, help me out, let me in.
What you gotta give, looking pretty poor
Running like a sieve and leaking on the floor,
You've bent and blown all the things that you got
You're gotta bring me down, gotta help me up.
Let me in, oh baby, help me out; let me in, help me out, let me in.
Comin' 'round your breakdown, poor baby,
lonely and achin', oh maybe,
I could give you some of mine,
but baby, it ain't worth my time.
Dance Of Love
Take me from this crowded room, give me room to hold you close.
Hold so close, to come unfold, take my body with your soul.
Lose yourself inside my arms, two as one can steal the stars.
Torn and free, beyond control, take my body with your soul.
Do the dance, the dance of love, dance of love,
Do the dance, the dance of love, dance with me.
Touching deep, we feel the world, reaching deep inside ourselves.
Cuttin' loose from roots of home, scattered winds, the winds of change.
Weightlessly we drift in sleep, drift in circles of our dream.
Dreams of love beyond control, take my body with your soul.
Midnight Wire (Darryl Way/Norma Tager)
Oh, what do you know of drownin'?
Off the midnight wire?
I don't know what came over me,
I came across burned desire.
Fidgetin' through madness,
Spilled the guilt and ditched the blame.
Dyin' while I'm livin', ritual dyin' on the stage.
Who's that callin' from the midnight choir?
who's that fallin' from the midnight wire?
Who's crawlin' from the burned-out fire?
Oh, save my soul from the midnight wire!
Alone and riddled with need, I feel the gaze
Of crowded, shooting skies whilst smoothing the place.
To soothe my fire safe across the midnight wire,
Oh, alone, The storms of night play havoc with my soul.
Who's that callin', etc.
Oh, it used to be I'd shatter up and splinter through the frame.
I'd look into the mirror through a rose bouquet.
Waitin', wantin', livin' for the moment of release,
Found myself all on fire,
Tried to jump the midnight wire.
Who's that callin' , etc.
Flash of light, then gone,
Spark of life, then out.
How much numb
How long dumb
Growing measure of my coming
Lose or mend your
Sordid sorry ways
Leave you rubble of my days
Oh, I'm afraid.
So tired, chilled to fear, not sure, question cause
Make the cure, oh no, ‘cross the midnight wire
Rushin' up
Brushin' up
Crushing up
Hushin' up
Pickin' up
Mixin' up
It's enough
Fixin' up
Ducking the issue of the midnight wire
Who's that callin', etc.
