| 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
