1. GLORIA

Like to tell you about my baby
You know she comes around
She about five feet four
A-from her head to the ground
You know she comes around here
At just about midnight
She make you feel so good, Lord
She make you feel all right
And her name is G-L-O-R-I-A

G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria
I'm gonna shout it all night, Gloria
I'm gonna shout it everyday, Gloria

She comes around here
Just about midnight
She make me feel so good, Lord
I wanna say she make me feel alright
Comes a-walking down my street
When she comes to my house
She knocks upon my door
And then she comes in my room
And she make me feel alright

G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria
I'm gonna shout it all night - Gloria
I'm gonna shout it everyday – Gloria
Looks so good, Gloria, alright
Just so good, Gloria, alright


2. THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long, long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long, long time ago

Who knows
Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World


3. HOMOSAPIEN

I'm the shy boy
You're the coy boy
And you know we're
Homosapien too
I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
Me and you sir
Homosapien too

Homosuperior
In my interior
But from the skin out
I'm Homosapien too

And you're Homosapien too
And we're Homosapiens too
And you're Homosapien too

And the world filled with age are a stage where we act out our lies
And the words in the script seem to fit 'cept we have some surprise
I just want this to last all our dreams dreaming past are all gone
And if this is the case then I'm losing trace from now on

I'm a shy boy
You're a coy boy
And you know we're
Homosapien too

I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
Me and you sir
Homosapien too

Homosuperior
In my interior
But from the skin out
I'm Homosapien too

And you're Homosapien too
And we're Homosapiens too
And you're Homosapien too

And I think of your eyes in the dark and I see the star
When I look to the light and I might wonder right where you are
All the gods in the sky way up high see the earth spinning 'round
But the sun and the moon and the stars are so far from the ground

I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
Homosuperior
In my interior

Yeah I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
I'm the shy boy
You're the coy boy
Yeah I'm a shy boy
I'm a shy boy
Well I'm a shy boy
I'm a shy boy
Shy boy...
Shy boy...


4. DANCING BAREFOOT

She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is the root connection
She is connecting with he
Here I go and I don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
could it be he's taking over me...

[Chorus:]
I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroin/e

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He, who is chosen by she

Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly, Could it be he's taking over me...

[Chorus]

She is re-creation
She, intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she...

Here I go and I don't know why,
I spin so ceaselessly,
'Til I lose my sense of gravity...

[Chorus]

(oh god I fell for you ...)

The plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face
The mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
Grave visitations
What is it that calls to us?
Why must we pray screaming?
Why must not death be redefined?
We shut our eyes we stretch out our arms
And whirl on a pane of glass
An afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree
The hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women.

(Oh God I fell for you ...)


5. NEON LIGHTS

Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city's made of light


6. HELLO, I LOVE YOU

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
I want you
Hello
I need my baby
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello


7. BRING ON THE DANCING HORSES

Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie Clown
No way home
Bringing on the dancing horses
Headless and all alone
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart

Billy stands
All alone
Sinking sand
Skin and bone
Bring on the dancing horses
Wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard

First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart

Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And my little heart
Goes

Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie Clown
No way home

First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart

Bring on the new messiah
Wherever he may roam...
Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And our little hearts
Go


8. THE NEEDLE AND THE DAMAGE DONE

I caught you knocking at my cellar door
I love you, baby, "Can I have some more?"
Oh, the damage done
I hit the city and I lost my band,
I watched the needle take another man.
Gone, gone, the damage done

I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk-blood to keep from running out

I've seen the needle and the damage done,
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a setting sun


9. FOR YOUR PLEASURE

For your pleasure
In our present state
Part false part true
Like anything
We present ourselves
The words we use
Tumble all over
Your shoulder
Gravel hard and loose

There all night
Lying
With your dark horse
Hiding
Abhorring such extremes

You're rubbing shoulders
With the stars
At night shining so bright
Getting older

But you'll wake up
Soon and fight
In the morning
Things you worried about
Last night
Will seem lighter

I hope things
Will turn out right
Old man-
Through every step a change
You watch me walk away
Tara tara ...


10. ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties
