For a Single Moment
03:41
|
|||
Find a place to park, saunter up the stairs
Squeeze another body through the tables and the chairs
Love it when the drummer beats it double to the bar
Shuffle 'cross the floor, wish upon a star
Dancin', baby wanna dance with you
Dancin', dancin's all you wanna do
Baby wanna dance with you
Boogie boogie pattern and boogie boogie steps
Boogie boogie gumbo 'bout as hot as it can get
Boogie boogie rhythm makes you raise a little Cain
Itty-bitty spark turn into a flame
Dancin', baby wanna dance with you
Dancin', dancin's all you wanna do
Baby wanna dance with you
Whole lotta water underneath the bridge
Dancin' lets you laugh about it all
Lettin' down the hair, shakin' out the bones
Sure beats starin' at a wall ...
Dancin', baby wanna dance with you
Dancin', dancin's all you wanna do
Baby wanna dance with you
Whole lotta water underneath the bridge
Dancin' lets you laugh about it all
Lettin' down the hair, shakin' out the bones
Sure beats starin' at a wall ...
Forget about an image and playin' out a part
Funky little four-piece and it's pouring out its heart
For a single moment at a single point in time
You smile for a while and pretend it's goin' fine
Dancin', baby wanna dance with you
Dancin', dancin's all you wanna do
Baby wanna dance with you

Here Comes the Noose
04:48
|
|||
Here comes the hangman
Here comes the noose
Everything gets tighter
Everything gets loose
I can smell the napalm
I can taste the heat
Feel the world tremble
Through the soles of your feet
Janet's daddy loves her
With the back of his hand
She's had the love
All the love she can stand
Daddy has been humbled
In his war with the booze
No way he can win
So he makes his baby lose
I have the freedom
Yes, I can make my own choice
I can almost hear
The sound of His voice
Jesus wants to love you
Tender as a lamb
If you want it, why don't you take it
Take it now while you can ... (because)
Here comes the hangman
Here comes the noose
Everything gets tighter
Everything gets loose
I can feel the wind
I can taste the rain
Feel the world tremble
As we are born again

Magdelena's Eyes
04:57
|
|||
Sunset on the mountain bathes them demons red
A final benediction on the dying and the dead
The rattle of machine guns, moaning in the grass
In the hills of El Salvador, time runs out too fast
Ride to the border in some old farmer's truck
The children must be silent -- kiss each of them for luck
Peace, peace, everybody cries
Hope, hope, in Magdalena's eyes
She has an exclusive downtown address
A share in a gallery, all those little trappings of success
She puts a little makeup on the tracks behind her knees
She knows that the needle is just a symptom of her disease
And it doesn't seem worthwhile to keep on keepin' on
Just one big hit, one final rush, and she'll be gone
Peace, peace, everybody cries
Hope, hope, in Magdalena's eyes
Other men just took advantage of her private hell
Her body was all she had, so that's what she would sell
Before dawn, she's in the garden, weeping at His grave
He gave new life to her, but Himself He would not save
Destitute in sorrow, broken in her pain
Through her tears, she hears Him call her name
Peace, peace, everybody cries
Hope, hope, in Magdalena's eyes

Sixty One
06:43
|

It was almost two o'clock in the morning
When we finally left Beale St. behind us
Four old cats had been working the corner since late afternoon
And they were still playing blues to a crowd
You could smell the river
In the deep night all around us
You could hear a voice of ancient longing
On the wind, singing proud
Somewhere just outside of Rolling Fork
We slept behind a little, white clapboard church
Huddled in the truck, and dreaming
While outside, the mosquitoes whined
The scent of cotton was planting seeds in our visions
And songs of slavery were leaving welts across our minds
I want to dive into that river
Let it wash away my stains
I want to drink some of that crystal water
Get me some healing for my pains
In the early morning mist
Way up ahead, we could see a cattle truck
As it went rattling down the road
With a load of migrant workers
All packed in a blinking in the light
Dawn and dusk are the same hazy colour
That old highway keeps on rolling south
With no earthly end in sight
The history of this highway
Is the history of man
The voice of this river
Is the cry of his heart
In the dawn the cotton rises
Through the mist that laps the road
Like the hope of generations
That these chains will blow apart ...
I want to dive into that river
Let it wash away my stains
I want to drink some of that crystal water
Get me some healing for my pains
The boys who sweep the pavement
Of the all-night Texaco --
Well, the thought of getting out
It just don't ever cross their minds
They just swap more lies
About girls and cops and cars
Lord, we're all praying
This muddy water will turn to wine
I want to dive into that river
Let it wash away my stains
I want to drink some of that crystal water
Get me some healing for my pains ...
I want to dive into that river
(Take the plunge)
Let it wash away my stains
(Wash me clean)
I want to drink some of that crystal water
(Quench my thirst)
Get me some healing for my pains ...
Get me some healing ... for my pains

Nightwind cause a rustle
In the sleepy dogwood trees
After hours station
Hangs a blue note on the breeze
Settin' on the back porch
Distant thunder rumbling low
Talkin' to the shamans
On the archipelago
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane
Up the road, the quiet girl
With the blue marks on her face
When he don't come home at all
She find the strangest hiding place
Good old boys down on the keys
Sippin' bourbon all alone
Out on the shoals it's building
It wails to call its own
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane
Breeze comes up the levee
You lose all track of time
Odour of the ozone
Done in two or three more lines
Funny how it comes to this
You know, it starts with just a breath
Then it grows into the sting
Of everlasting death
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane
In the moment that's afforded
To the one who truly seeks
There's the figure of a man
Who calms the storm with words He speaks
Above the voodoo of the damned
Emerging from the haze
A vision of eternal love
In mercy, Jesus saves
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane ...

I Need Salvation
05:46
|
|||
My momma loves me like a momma should
But even she said, "Bot, you're no good --
You got to change your wicked heart
Son, what you need is a brand new start."
(I got ... got to have it ...)
I got a baby, she hates my momma
She drive me crazy any time she wanna
She has me right under her thumb
One of these days, I'm gonna buy a gun ...
(I got ... got to have it ...)
My momma sits alone and prays
"Lord, save my baby from his evil ways
That mean old devil -- crafty snake --
Wanna see my baby swim the fiery lake."
(I got ... got to have it ...)
Don't need a doctor, don't need a shrink
Don't want a smoke, don't need a drink
I need salvation and I need it fast --
Got to have one thing that I know will last
(I got ... got to have it ...)
I need ...

Somebody tell me please
What is goin' on around here?
Somebody tell me please
What is goin' on around here?
Don't want no double-talk
Just want someone to make it clear
How come the ones who hurt the most
Never seem to get just what they need?
How come the ones who hurt the most
Never seem to get just what they need?
You could be dyin' on the street
They just stand around to watch you bleed
Somebody tell me please
What is goin' on around here?
Somebody tell me please
What is goin' on around here?
Don't want no double-talk
Just want someone to make it clear
Everybody all around
Keep on talkin' about love
Everybody all around
Keep on talkin' about love
I wish they'd shut their mouths
Please -- show me what it's all about
Somebody tell me please
What is goin' on around here?
Somebody tell me please
What is goin' on around here?
Don't want no double-talk
Just want someone to make it clear ...

Sweet Forgiveness
05:30
|
|||
Lying in a darkened doorway
Midnight in my veins
Old ghosts keep on moaning
In the alleys of my brain
I have tried
Everything in my power
I have tried
This is my darkest hour
Let it bleed
Sweet forgiveness what I need
Got this conscience for hire
It all come rushing back so fast
My memory shows no mercy
Put a contract out on my past
I have tried
Everything in my power
I have tried
This is my darkest hour
Let it bleed
Sweet forgiveness what I need
Somewhere on a distant hill
His arms stretched out wide
In the middle of an ice-cold darkness
He gave up the ghost and died
I have tried
Everything in my power
I have tried
This is my darkest hour
Let it bleed
Sweet forgiveness what I need
I ain't looking for justice
Lord, mercy's what I need
I'm standing at the crossroads
Can't you help me, please?
I have tried
Everything in my power
I have tried
This is my darkest hour
Let it bleed
Sweet forgiveness what I need ...
Let it bleed
Sweet forgiveness ... what I need

Boystown
06:12
|
|||
In the bleak hours of the morning
Just before the sun does rise
You see the steaming city streets
Through different eyes
From the shadows, you hear laughter
But no one ever smiles
Down in Boystown
Boystown ...
It's a long way down
To the bottom, the very bottom
Of Boystown
A long white limousine
Come cruising just like a shark
Windows like obsidian
Hard, and tight, and dark
And you're hoping that this daddy
Is tonight's final mark
Down in Boystown
Boystown ...
It's a long way down
To the bottom, the very bottom
Of Boystown
You don't think of the future
Because you're never standing still
You're just hoping that he offers you
A little extra thrill
If an infected john don't get
A dirty needle will
Down in Boystown
Boystown ...
It's a long way down
To the bottom, the very bottom
Of Boystown
Boystown Boystown ...

Last Call
05:39
|
|||
She wore his favourite perfume
A careful blend of beer and cigarettes
So he told her how, one day, he dreamed
He’d own himself a ’59 CorvetteShe gave him this look, and said
“John -- your dreams are small, microscopic, man
And the universe expands every day
All my dreams are so damn big, all I can do is bow my head and pray”
Teddy behind the bar --
He's got his hair all sticking up like a rooster’s comb
He says “Drink up, children,
it’s time we all were wandering home."
Last call, last call
This is your last call
Shreds of smoke hung in the air
Like a grey and tattered halo above her head
Well, John knows that he’s no angel
But hey, maybe she'd settle
For a middle-aged drunk instead ...
Now, all he really wants in life is someone
He can finally call his own
But the emptiness inside of him is deep and cold
Just like ice inside his bones
Jack and the band are ripping out the night’s final tune
Their minds are in the gutter
But their souls are reaching for the moon
Last call, last call
This is your last call
“One more drink is all you get
Then I turn out the lights and lock the door!”
Teddy's already mopping the floor
As the customers all order up one more
“John” she said, “I got a place
With some furniture and a telephone
But since I left my daddy’s house
There’s never been a place
That I could call home
He used to tell me all about Jesus
How He died on the cross to set me free ...
Well, I wouldn't believe it then, but now
I wonder if He still loves me.”
Last call, last call
This is your last call
Last call, last call
This is your last call.

Knockin'
07:17
|
|||
Open the door
I want to come in and talk to you
I won’t leave unless you tell Me to
Ain’t no use
Pretending you’re not home
I can see you through the window
Hunched up by the phone
Waiting for a miracle
To come ringing down the line
A phone call from heaven
A long-distance sign
And I keep knockin’
Yes, I’m knockin’
I keep knockin’
Knockin’ at the door
I see you bear the scars
Of a soul at war with itself
You’ve packed up your whole life
Like a shoe-box on the shelf
You keep on asking me why
This old world’s so full of pain
But I’ve told you a hundred times
You got to die to live again –
There’s no escaping it
You know that it’s true
As you sit there in the shadows
Darling, what have you got to lose?
And I'm knockin’
Yes, I’m knockin’
I keep knockin’
Knockin’ at the door
Open the door
I want to make you my bride
I want to take you for all eternity
And keep you by my side
I want to wipe away every tear
And strike off all your chains
I want to drench you with glory
And cleanse you with red rain
Arise, my dove
My fair one come away
You've been struggling in poverty
This is glory day
And I'm knockin’
Yes, I’m knockin’
I keep knockin’
Knockin’ at the door
I keep knockin’
Knockin’
I'm knockin’
At the door
Of your heart.

Ain't It So Grand?
04:10
|
|||
I have sometimes felt a sweet and sudden pain
Just like sunshine over streets still slick with rain
It’s a sadness and a longing, it's a joy I can’t explain
But I always know the feeling though it’s never twice the same
I have often heard a trumpet far-off sound
But then I just wake up still anchored to this ground
And crowded all around me is the junk and the trash
Of the man that I am now, who’ll be changed in a flash
Ain’t it so grand?
Lord, I’m comin’ home
Ain’t it so grand?
I’m comin’ home
Lord, ain’t it so grand?
A young man won’t believe it, but an old man knows he’ll die
And the first thing every child learns when he’s born is how to cry
But when those clouds roll back like a great big scroll
Then I’ll rise up to meet the Captain of my soul
Ain’t it so grand?
Lord, I’m comin’ home
Ain’t it so grand?
I’m comin’ home
Lord, ain’t it so grand?
A young man won’t believe it, but an old man knows he’ll die
And the first thing every child learns when he’s born is how to cry
But when those clouds roll back like a great big scroll
Then I’ll rise up to meet the Captain of my soul
Ain’t it so grand?
Lord, I’m comin’ home
Ain’t it so grand?
I’m comin’ home
Lord, ain’t it so grand?

Dancin', baby wanna dance with you
Dancin', dancin's all you wanna do
Baby wanna dance with you
Whole lotta water underneath the bridge
Dancin' lets you laugh about it all
Lettin' down the hair, shakin' out the bones
Sure beats starin' at a wall
Dancin', baby wanna dance with you
Dancin', dancin's all you wanna do
Baby wanna dance with you
Dancin', baby wanna dance with you
Dancin', dancin's all you wanna do
Baby wanna dance with you ...
