1. SUN KING
This is where it all ends
And the kind of dream that you've never seen
Hot damn, oh, mercy ma'am
What the hell you doing to me
Ah, strutting round with your head held high
What you trying to prove, girl
Black haired missy
Big brown eyes
On my knees, mama please
I'm a regal man
I'll do what I can
To take you off to the promised land
I'm a sun king, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Sun king, honey
We can rule across the land
I'm a sun king, baby
With you, I'll share my throne
A sun king, honey
I can't make it on my own, no
Hey, look out, little missy's about
Ripping up the town
Honey, I can't tie you down
Woman, you make me frown
Long legged lady with a black dress on
On my knees, mama please
I'm a regal man
I'll do what I can
To t-t-take you to the promised land
A sun king, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Yeah, sun king, honey
We can rule across this land
I'm a sun king, baby, baby
With you, I'll share my throne
A sun king, honey
I can't make it on my own
Let me tell you people
Now, listen good
City crawling like a tired dog, yeah
Cult children in the house of the dawn
Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast
Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast
I see the sun begin to shine
I see the sun begin to shine
Sun king, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Oh, sun king, honey

2. FIRE WOMAN
Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey
Oh, since I set my eyes on you
I tell you the truth
Twisting like a flame in a slow dance, baby
You're driving me crazy
Come on, little honey

Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Smoke on the horizon, well
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Oh, smokestack lightning
Smokestack lightning
Well, shake it up, you're to blame, got me swaying little honey
My heart's a ball of burning flame

Trancing like a cat on a hot tin shack
Lord, have mercy
Come on little sister

Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Oh, smoke on the horizon

Fire woman, you're to blame
3. AMERICAN HORSE
Stick it in your ear
Cause it ain't exactly clear
What you people hear
I tell you that's right
Sucker in the middle
Blowing hot and cold
Cracking his whip
On the American horse
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse
Feather in his mane
Showing no fear
Of a twisted shady fool
I tell you that's right, that's right
Truth's a mighty clear
Forever on and on
Never break a spirit
Of the American horse, well
Don't you shoot him down
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse
Crazy
On the day they tried to tame the American horse
Crazy
On the day they tried to tame the American horse
Riding on a pony
Riding against the wind
And in came Brando
And he told it like this
4. EDIE (CIAO BABY)
Always said you were a Youthquaker, Edie
A stormy little world shaker
Warhol's darling queen, Edie
An angel with a broken wing
The dogs lay at your feet, Edie
We caress your cheek
Stars wrapped in your hair, Edie
Life without a care
But you're not there
Caught up in an endless scene, Edie
Paradise a shattered dream
Wired on the pills you took, Edie
Your innocence dripped blood, sweet child
The dogs lay at your feet, Edie
We caress your cheek
Stars wrapped in your hair
Life without a care
Ciao, baby
Sweet little sugar talker
Paradise dream stealer
Warhol's little queen, Edie
An angel with a broken wing
The dogs lay at your feet, Edie
We caress your cheek, well
Stars wrapped in your hair
Life without a care
Why did you kiss the world goodbye
Ciao, Baby
Don't you know paradise takes time
Ciao, Edie
Why did you kiss the world goodbye
Ciao, Baby
Don't you know paradise takes time
Ciao, Edie
Ciao, Baby
Ciao, Baby
Ciao, Baby

7. NEW YORK CITY
I saw a rainbow stretched across the ocean
Crashed the Big Apple
So I took a bite
Found a taste I like
But she bit me back
I jumped across the ocean
Found a Big Apple
So I took a bite
She teased me with a taste
Laid my soul to waste
Stabbed me in the back
Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ
I ain't never coming back, no
Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ
I ain't never coming back, child
Pressure never stops
Pressure never drops
Lennon got fried
Said it was a crime
Said it was a pity
No one even cried
Pressure never stops
Pressure never drops
Lennon got fried
Said it was a crime
Said it was a pity
No one even cried, cried, cried
Hell's Kitchen is a crazy place
I ain't never coming back, oh no no
Hell's Kitchen is a crazy place
I ain't never coming back
New York City
New York City
New York City
New York City
Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ

Disneyland, trash can baby
It'll give you a heart attack
The Times Square shuffle, Manhattan flip
Twenty four hour groove
Working up a frenzy baby
People push on through
I jumped across the ocean
Found a Big Apple
So I took a bite
She teased me with a taste
Laid my soul to waste
Stabbed me in the back
Hell's Kitchen is a crazy place
I'm never coming back, no no no
Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ
I ain't never, never, yeah
New York City
Wake up, yeah, in the New York City
Well, New York City

Brothers and sisters everywhere, come together

9. SOLDIER BLUE
Soldier blue, bloodstained red
Hey people, he's gonna bust your head
A real bad dream, yeah, you know it's true
Kiss his boots or you'll be through
Out of the night comes a soldier right
Line you up in his gunsight
His mind's exploded, ego's overloaded
Hey children, start-a-running
Soldier blue, love is out of season
Soldier blue, yeah, ain't fighting for no reason, no, no
Ain't fighting for no reason, no, no
Well, soldier blue, soldier fright
He's gonna bust up everything in sight
A real heavy dude in a killing mood
Pack your bags or you'll be through, you'll be through
He's guaranteed to shatter all your dreams
His mind's exploded, ego's overloaded
Hey children, start-a-running
Soldier blue, oh, love is out of season
Soldier blue, ain't fighting for no reason
Soldier blue, love is out of season
Soldier blue, her love is out of season
I have seen the sunset, the sea on fire
Ships burn off the coast of Orion
Dreams of peace wait on the horizon
Clouds filled with blood rain on the water
While nighttime's fingers clench the light shut
Our sister rides the horse, apocalypse
Now is the closing
Love has no season
Love has no season
Come on shake you sinner
Soldier blue, love is out of season
Soldier blue, ain't fighting for no reason
Soldier blue, yeah, love is out of season
Soldier blue, fighting for no reason
Soldier blue, fighting for no reason
Soldier blue, fighting for no reason
Love has no season
Love has no season

10. WAKE UP TIME FOR FREEDOM
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby
There's someone knocking on my door
A tall dark figure I've never seen before
His badge shone brightly like a star in the sky
Drag me out to the waiting car
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby
A flock of vultures spinning round my head
Left me on the roadside for dead
Cars pass by but no one stares
These waking dreams, they never end
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom
You we gotta try
Lawman on the bank now, honey
Hound dog on my trail
Wake up time for freedom
Before the night prevails
There's someone knocking on my door
A tall dark figure I've never seen before
Yeah, backs on blinding, like a star in the sky
He drag me out to the waiting car
Sometimes, like this, they came
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Freedom
11. MEDICINE TRAIN
Shotgun
Standing on a stage, the boy started shaking
Lip curled back, place started quaking
I ain't got long to go now, baby
I'm flying high
Riding on a medicine train
Never coming down again, no
Riding on a medicine train
I ain't never, never coming down
All fired up, a desolation angel
Shooting from a hip in the sonic temple
I ain't got long to go now, baby
Cause I'm flying high
Riding on a medicine train
Never coming down again, no
Riding on a medicine train
I ain't never coming down again, well
Riding on a medicine train
Never coming down again
Riding on a medicine train, train, train, train
I ain't never
Shotgun
Ah, don't you take me down the river, please
Ah, don't you take me down the river, please, please, please
Standing on a stage, a boy started shaking
Lip curled back, place started quaking
I ain't got long to go now, baby
I'm flying high
Riding on a medicine train, riding on a medicine train
Never coming down again, well, never coming down again
Riding on a medicine train, riding on a medicine train
I ain't never coming down, never coming down again, sweet Jesus
