Hitting The Ground

I was beaten up, I was beaten down
By my life and a photographic sound
I was filled with love, I was filled with rage
My life book shook with the turning of it's page

Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no friend round, never be found
Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no-one there to help you come down

I was not on drugs, I was not on beer
I was still with love, I was full of fear
If I asked the question, life will tell no lie
Love will ask the question are you willing to die

Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no friend round, never be found
Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no-one there to help you come down

I'm gonna go way up in an aeroplane
I'm gonna go way out insane
I don't know if I'd ever come down
I don't know if I can reach the ground

Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no friend round, never be found
Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no-one there to help you come down

I'm gonna go way up in an aeroplane
I'm gonna go way out insane
I don't know if I'd ever come down
I don't know if I can reach the ground

I was beaten up, I was beaten down
By my life and a photographic sound
I was filled with love, I was filled with rage
My life book shook with the turning of it's page

Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no friend round, never be found
Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no-one there to help you come down

Hit The City

The dark descends through the promised land
Down kingdom come and the acid band
I'm babylon, burn inside out
Nothing to kill it

I hit the city

In Marianne I dug the hole
And watched her trip on my hollow soul
And in the end all that crawled, was my skin
I couldn't kill it

I hit the city
I hit the city

Ghost arrives at its bitter end
To the promised land and the dark descents
I'm babylon, burn inside out
Nothing to kill it

I hit the city

Highway '61 Revisited (by Bob Dylan)

Well, God said to Abraham "Kill me a son"
Abe said "Man, you must be putting me on"
God said "No"
Abe said "What?"
God said "You do what you wanna, but
Next time you see me coming you better run"
Abe said "Where do you want this killing done"
God said "Out on that Highway 61"

Well, Georgia Sam he had bloody nose
Welfare department would give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard "Where can I go"
Howard said "There's only one place I know"
Sam said "Quick man, tell me, I got to run"
Howard just pointed with his gun
And said "That way down on 61"

"Well, Mack the finger" said Louie the king
"I got 40 red white and blue shoestrings
And a thousand telephones that won't ring
You know I can't get rid of these things"
And he said "Now let me think a minute son"
Said "Yes that can be easily done
Just take them down on that 61"

That highway
Highway
Highway
Highway
Highway

Now the fifth daughter on the twelve night
Told first father that things weren't right
"My complexion" she said "is much to white"
He said "Come here and stare up into the light"
And said "Mmmm you're right, let me tell the second mother it's been done"
But the second mother with the seventh son
They were out on that highway 61

Now, the roving gambler was very bored
Trying to create the next world war
And he found a promoter, fell off the floor
And said "I've never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yep I think it can be easily done"
Highway
They just put some bleachers there out in the sun
And have it out on that 61

Henry Lee

(Traditional/Cave)


Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with me
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

I can't get down and I won't get down
And spend all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him down this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Heela

I was lost in love
I was lost inside
Till he said to me
You've gotta lovely smile
Now I'm saved
Saved
Now I'm saved
Now I'm saved
Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no we'd never part
Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no we'd never part
{She ...}
{She was a girl, she got her hair done nice}
{She said "i've given all I got to my healer man}
{He put his hands on me, showed me what I am"}
Saved
When I got my healer by my side
I'm pushing daylight, pushing ?
When I got my healer by my side
When I got my healer by my side
When I got my healer by my side
When I got my healer by my side
When I got my healer by my side
When I got my healer by my side
When I got my healer by my side

Heaven

Everything's joy in heaven
And it's so good to live in this world of ours
Breathing the clean air through my lungs
Is an endless experience

Where I can go for a walk
Where I can go where I please
Where I can go for a walk
Where I can say what I please
Without being picked up by the police
Without being picked up by the police

If heaven is a place on earth
Then I must be on the moon
If heaven is a place on earth
Then I want to be getting there soon
If heaven is a place on earth
Then I must be on the moon
If heaven is a place on earth
Then I want to be getting there, getting there soon

Where I can release the tension
With the pushing of a button
Where I can release the tension
With the pushing of a button
Pushing of a button, pushing of a button

She picked the apple and gave it to him
Did she know what she was doing?
She picked the apple and gave it to him
Did she know what she was doing?

Hardly Wait

I can hardly wait
It's been so long
I've lost my taste
Say angel come
Say lick my face
Let fall your drapes
I'd play the part
Open this mouth wide
Eat your
Ah
I can hardly wait
Lips cracked dry
Tongue blue burst
Say angel come
Say lick my thirst
It's been so long
I've lost my taste
He Romeo
Make my waters break
Oh
In my glass coffin I am waiting

Harder

Oh oh my my my
My man's up all night
Works me till I moan
Drives me out of my mind

Why it's so hard
Must be made out of cold steel
Why it's so hard
He's a man running my wheel

Just keep me burning
Just keeps me yearning
Put my whole body on fire
Burning whole body desire

Why it's so hard
Yeah taking me over
Why it's so hard
My cold steel soldier

Harder
Harder
Harder

Oh oh make me beg
Eats meat in my bed
Works me till I'm done
Mad dog can sure hunt

Why it's so hard
Must be made out of cold steel
Why it's so hard
C'mon Daddy drive my wheel

Harder
Harder
Harder

Why it's so hard
Money made out of cold steel
Why it's so hard
He's a turning my wheel

Harder
Harder
Harder
Yeah

Happy and Bleeding

She burst
Dropped off
Picked the fruit
And realize
I'm naked too
So cover my body
Dress it fine
Hide my
Linen and lace
Been sewing ever since time began
But more than the hills
More than the trees
More than the mountains-you
More than I can see
In front of me
More than the mountains-you
-Fruit flower myself inside-out
I'm happy and bleeding for you
Fruit flower myself inside-out
I'm tired and I'm bleeding for you
This fruit was bruised
Dropped off and blue
Out of season
Happy and bleeding
Long overdue
Too early and it's late too
Mind and body
I would and I would not do
- Fruit flower myself….
Fig fruit flower myself inside-out for you

Green eyes

He called me Magdolene
So much my eyes have seen
Cleopatra would have wept for these of green
I watch the people leave
I Walk the sorry town
When I saw him first
He was looking down

He called me Magdalene
My say Queen
But he would not look
Into these eyes of green
He lay there alone
No-one else around
When I turned to him
He was still looking down

I came
I witnessed
Followed
Found
Returned
Returned
He's still looking down
Still looking down
And the people leave
Leave this girl
Leave this girl
Leave this town
And still he kneels
Does not look at me
He's drawing circles in the ground

Goodnight

Here I am
Prairieland
Got it all, got
Gun in hand

Dungarees
They're on my husband
They're on me

We have the stars
We have the trees
We'll have everything
We need to feed

I'll make babes
He'll make chairs
We'll sell them at
The county fair
We'll walk on
We'll walk tall
We'll dance once a week
The union hall

We'll have the stars
We'll have the trees
We'll have everything
We need to feed

Here I am
Prairieland
I got it all, got
Gun in hand
I'll sweep the porch
I dust his room
We swing together
On our chair at noon

We have the stars
We have the trees
We have everything
We need to feed

We have the stars
We have the trees
We have everything
We need to feed

Goodnight

Here I am
Prairie land

We'll swing together on our chair at noon
We have the stars
We have the trees
We have everything we need to feed
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

Good Fortune

Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
But I'd rather have done it with you
Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love
In Chinatown
Hungover
You showed me
Just what I could do
Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth
And I feel like some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face
I paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To put into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world
* And I feel like....
So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern-day
Bonnie and Clyde
On the run again

Fountain

Stand
Under
Fountain
Cool skin
Wash clean
Wash him
From me
Along comes wind
A big bone-shaker
Blows off my clothes
Completely naked
What to do
When everything
Has left you?
Out of the blue
It is he
A vision to me
Bearing leaves
Petals green
Covers me
In all my shame
Hand in hand
He's my big man
Stays with me
Some forty days
No words
Then goes away
I cry
Again

Featherhead

When will we ever meet?
Not in this life
When will I be a bird?
Is it this life?

White doves only see
From up high
When will another bird
Kiss my mind

Featherhead all fucked
Up and down days
No, not another night
Another dark place
White doves only see
From up high
When will another bird
Bend my mind

Eyepennies

I will return here one day
And dig up my bones from the clay
I buried nails and strings and hair
And that old tooth I believe was a bear's

I held my hand in the fire
It burned me down to the wires

Blood suckers hide beneath my bed
And black fumes of skin so gently bled
I slept with a cat on my breast
Slowing my heart stealing my breath

At sunrise the monkeys will fly
And leave me with pennies in my eyes

I will return here one day
And dig up my bones from the clay
I buried nails and string and hair
And that old tooth I believe was a bear's

At sunrise the monkeys will fly
And leave me with pennies in my eyes

Grow Grow Grow

I sowed a seed
Underneath the oak tree
I trod it in
With my boots, I trampled it down

Grow grow grow

I sowed a rose
Underneath the oak grove
With my boots on the ground
Into the earth I trampled it down

Grow grow grow

Teach me how to grow
Teach me how to grow

Teach me mummy
How to grow
How to catch someone's fancy
Underneath the twisted oak grove

Electric light

The beauty of her, under electric light
The beauty of her, under electric light
Tears my heart out every time
Dawn there waiting, right outside
Dawn there waiting, right outside
She tears my heart out every time
Siren rising across the sky
Sirens rising across the sky
Tears my heart out every time
