1. Coma Girl
I was crawling through a festival way out west
I was thinking about love and the acid test
But first I got real dizzy with a real rocking gang
Then I saw the Coma Girl and the excitement gang

And the rain came in from the wide blue yonder
Through all the stages I wandered

Coma Girl and the excitement gang
Mona Lisa on the motorcycle gang
Coma Girl
Coma Girl
Coma Girl was beating with the Oil Drum gang
Some fast food fanatic was burning down the burger van
Somebody was wailing off their head
Nobody was ripping the teen scene dead

And the rain came in from the wide blue yonder
I thought you and me might wander
Chorus

As the 19th hour was falling upon Desolation Row
Some outlaw band had the last drop on the go
Let's siphon up some gas let's get this show on the road
Said the Coma Girl to the excitement gang

Into action everybody sprang
The oil drums were beating out dulang dulang

Coma Girl and the excitement gang
Mona Lisa on the motorcycle gang
Coma Girl
Coma Girl

2. Get Down Moses
Once I got to the mountain top, tell you what I could see
Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity
Where the hell was Elijah
What do you do when the prophecy game was through

We gotta take the walls of Jericho
Put your lips together and blow
To the very top
Say the truth crystallizes like jewels in the rock, in the rock

Get down Moses, part another sea
Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.
Get down Moses, out in Tennessee
Get down Moses, down in the street
The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet
Get down Moses, down in the pit

Lying in a dream, cross a battlefield
Crashing on a downtown strip
Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip
Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto
Who's lecturing who's in the know and in the don't know

You better take the walls of Jericho
Put your lips together and blow
Goin' to the very top
Where the truth crystallizes like jewels, in the rock, in the rock

Get down Moses, from the eagle aerie
You gotta to make new friends out of old enemies
Get down Moses, back in Tennessee
Get down Moses, down with the dreads
They got a lotta reasoning in a dreadhead
Get down Moses, down in the street
Get down Moses

Get down Moses, part another sea
Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.
Get down Moses, out in Tennessee
Get down Moses, down in the street
The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet
Get down Moses, down in the pit
Get down Moses

Get down Moses

Get down Moses
We need to eat
We gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth
Get down Moses

3. Long Shadow
Well I'll tell you one thing that I know
You don't face your demons down
You gotta grapple 'em, Jack
And pin 'em to the ground

The devil may care
Maybe God he won't
Ya better you make sure
You check on the do's and the don'ts

Crawl up the mountain
To reach where the eagles fly
Sure you can glimpse from the mountain top
Where the soul of the muse might rise

And if you put it all together
You won't have to look around
You know you cast
A long shadow on the ground

Then one day I could tell my tracks
By the holes in the soles of my shoes
And that's the day I said
I'm gonna make the news

And falling back in the garden
Of days so long ago
Somewhere in the memory
The sun shines on you, boy

Playing in the Arroyos
Where the American rivers flow
From the Appalachians
Down to the Delta roads

A man can think so long
His brain could well explode
There's trains runnin' through the junctions
And King Cotton's down the road

And if you put it all together
You won't have to look around
You know you cast
A long shadow on the ground

Listen to the country
The night jar and the bell
Listen to the the night stream-liner
Sounding like the wolves of hell

Head for the water
The waters of the cleansing spell
It was always our destination
On the express of the ne'er-do-wells

And we rock through Madison City
Man, we didn't even know she was there
And when we hit the boppers in Memphis
Beale Street didn't have no prayer

And I hear punks talk of anarchy
I hear hobos on the railroads
I hear mutterings on the chain gangs
It's those men who build the roads

And if you put it all together
You didn't even once relent
You cast a long shadow
And that is your testament

Somewhere in my soul
There's always rock an' roll
Yeah

4. Arms Aloft
Sometimes there's no star shining
Scounting the edge of the universe
Sometimes you can't see the horizon
Between the ocean and the earth

And just when you're thinking about slinkin' down
I'm gonna pull you up, I'm gonna pull ya round
May I remind you of that scene
The spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene
Let a million mirror balls beam
May I remind you of that scene

And you say, "Living ain't nothing but hassles"
In a manila envelope rain
And driving coal all night to Newcastle
It's getting to be a repetitive strain
And just when you're thinking about
Going down the drain

May I remind you of that scene
The spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene
Let a million mirror balls beam
May I remind you of that scene

I'm gonna pull you up
I'm gonna pull ya round

May I remind you of that scene
The spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

Let a million mirror balls beam
The spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

They say the stars can't see their rays
Nor can they count their numbered days
No flower can say what perfume is
We got all this and bird and diz
May I remind you of that scene
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

May I remind you of that scene

5. Ramshackle Day Parade
Muffle the drums
The hope of a new century comes
Was it all the amphetamine presidents
And their busy wives
Or did Manhattan crumble
The day Marlyn died

All your life, dreamer of dreams
Somehow connected with the silver screen
Half closed eyes, you realize
Loving the life that is paradise
And the Technicolor
I dream a parade like some club house
Club house serenade
Every dog must have his day

Ramshackle Day Parade
We're going on though

This is the ramshackle day parade
Of all those lost, unborn, and unmade
And who's heads got filled with a neon lava
And remain buried underneath this road
Ramshackle Day Parade

Taken' the freight elevator
And the incinerator
To the hopped up G-men riding
Refrigerated alligators
Faces of the civil wars, and holograms holding 44's
After the deranged cowboys
Bring out the banners of Stalingrad
Here come the marching band
The band of the underhand

This is the ramshackle day parade

6. Redemption Song
Old pirates, yes they rob, I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Old pirates, yes they rob, I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
These songs of freedom

8. Burnin' Streets
The sirens' risin'
There's a distant blues dance on a crowded street
The temperature's a-risin'
Soon you're gonna be runnin' down

Those burnin' streets, come on
The century that's hardly on its feet
And the late news breaks early
Does the sun rise from the west or from the east?
An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city

London is burnin'; don't tell the Queen
Somebody tried to speak garage and they burnt down Bethnal Green
Piccadilly's yearning, like a reggae beat
Soon you're gonna be runnin' down

Those burnin' streets, come on
And you're waitin' for your flag to be unfurled
And the late news breaks early
So how should life be lived around the world?
(If London is burnin')

An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on!
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')

(Soon you're gonna be run down)
(Soon you're gonna be run down)
Those burnin' streets, come on!
Does the universal cop have a beat?
And the late news breaks early
Did you ever buy that bar on Lucky Street?

An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on!
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')

Too many guns in this damn town
At the supermarket, you gotta duck down
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
(London is burnin')
There's too many guns in this damn town
(London is burnin')
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
(London is burnin')
Too many guns in this damn town
(London is burnin')
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
(London is burnin')

9. Midnight Jam
LI transmitters to fall
All receivers to thirst
This is London Calling
This is London Calling
All right everybody
Once again, I'm tuning in the best chance you
Can find anywhere in the world
At any time, any place
Now I'd like to let it rip
On the all different tip
Now we gonna control over tower here
To the great originator, Mr. Leroy, let it roll
Meanwhile, we're gonna take it
And that's a train
In a destructible feel once again
Since the last programme I've been around the world touring
Your name in every jail in Germany, I've been there
Let's check it out a little bit with this very unusual song

10. Silver And Gold
I'm gonna go out dancin' every night,
I'm gonna see all the city lights,
And do everything silver and gold,
I got to hurry up before I grow too old.
I'm gonna take a trip around the world,
I'm gonna kiss all the pretty girls,
And do everything silver and gold
And I got to hurry up before I grow too old.

Oh, I do alotta things I know is wrong,
Hope I'm forgiven before I'm gone,
It'll take alotta prayers to save my soul,


But I got to hurry up before I grow too old.
I'm gonna take a trip around the world,
Gonna kiss all the pretty girls,
Who do everything silver and gold,
And I got to hurry up before I grow too old, whhoooo.

Yea, I gonna go out dancin' every night,
I'm gonna see all your city lights,
I'm gonna do everything silver and gold,
And I've got to hurry up before I grow too old
WeeeeeOooooooooo.
