TOMORROW IS NEARLY GONE

We sell the dream
Open up your house to the suits
We shout and scream
The wise make off with the loot

The children have it good
And we do the things we should
The children are often genius
Take a trip to Venus
And leave your light on
Tomorrow is nearly gone

You sell the dream
Never lose sight of the town you come from
Mama will be proud, the coin gleams
The battle has begun

LIVE FAST, LOVE YOUNG

A child is killed
Just outside of South Fork
Made the New York Times
But he never got justice

You better live fast
You better love young
Because the people you care for
Are hanging on the sun
Living just as close
So, so close
To the heart of the city

Happiness is my mistress
Money is dead
Happiness is the thing
That is only in your head

FEAR

Faith is blooming
Baby has red pants
Baby loves romance

Jazz man's crooning
Knock of the dead boys
Start with the fake toys

It now comes down
To what you mean
When you say heaven
Is on the silver screen

Oh, oh you got lost
Oh, oh you got lost
There's nothing to fear
When you can't get across
Oh, oh you got lost

PASSION IS INFINITY

Door swings open
Danny starts his day
He saw the sun setting
And that always clears the gray

Sun hits the city
The skyline is pretty
Danny can't wait to see
The day begin
He's not gonna be a number
But who can you blame?
Gotta wait for the Lord
To call your name
Up to Mount Moriah
Where your world is slain

Goodbye to all that
But take a look at me
Baby, blow it off
Because passion is infinity

Breakfast cookin' into dinner
Danny watches the clock
No virgins remain virgins
Open the screen door
And take a walk

DIONYSUS AND APOLLO

I've never seen women as beautiful as those in Barcelona
Don't organize your days, ride with a night in Latona

IN FULL BLOOM

Blood red car parked outside the bar
The patrons come and go
Easy as the blood wind blows
They run but they don't get far

And I wonder if I could die
In a hotel bar
While the dragons breathe fire on the day
Don't ever wonder why
You didn't become a star
I'm in full bloom
In the comfort of this hotel bar

The little things are stacked upon each other
You could climb them like a ladder to the moon
Try and jump for a star
Try and fly from the bar
You won't get far
The little things always surprise you
When they are
In full bloom

YOU WERE RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME

Sometimes I think that we'll never get along
Like a memory that fades and you forget that it's gone
But you're left with a problem and a single bed
And all the white angels dancing in your head

If this city could melt away
I'll have one place to stay
Fly like an angel, I don't mind
You were right the whole time

JACKIE

Tom puts down the book
He's been nibbling on for one whole year
When it spites him he denies
The he depends on it

I met them on the terrace
When they were bold and new
And had no feelings for the reason
Things end up the way they do

It never really counts
Unless your heart is in it
Time will tell who is guilty
And who will win it

In your palace where strangers sleep
We can share martinis
While our women weep
And the dream you had
When you were 14 years old
Will call to you baby
So brilliant and bold
Jackie, I'm ready, I hope you are too

LOS ANGELES, 2001

There's a place in Los Angeles
Remains in my memory today
Funny how the cities you've visited
Never inspire you to stay

And the hardest part of letting go
Is letting it disappear for good
You thought there were endless options
And maybe baby doll you should

Sitting by the fire
Talking about things you've never done
She said she don't like hypocrites
I don't like them either but I'm one

Get rid of your books
Get ride of your fairest memories
You won't need them where you're going
They'll disappear like a faint, whispering melody
Los Angeles, 2001
Is finally a dying a memory

VALIDATION

Looking for a validation
Follow your dreams
Follow the red sportscar
That told you who to be

Follow those dreams
Follow the picture
That is built up in your head
Your life can be
Your best art project
