1. U-TURN (LILI)

Lili, take another walk out of your fake world
Please put all the drugs out of your hand
You'll see that you can breath without not back up
So much stuff you got to understand

For every step in any walk
Any town of any thought
I'll be your guide

For every street of any scene
Any place you've never been
I'll be your guide

Lili, you know there's still a place for people like us
The same blood runs in every hand
You see it’s not the wings that make the angel
Just have to move the bats out of your head

For every step in any walk
Any town of any thought
I'll be your guide

For every street of any scene
Any place you've never been
I'll be your guide

Lili, easy as a kiss we'll find an answer
Put all your fears back in the shade
Don't become a ghost without no colour
‘Cause you're the best paint life ever made

For every step in any walk
Any town of any thought
I'll be your guide

For every street of any scene
Any place you've never been
I'll be your guide


2. FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT

It's 4 in the morning, the end of December,
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better.
New York is cold but I like where I'm living
With the music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert.
You're living for nothing now
I hope you're keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair,
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear.
Did you ever go clear?

Oh the last time we saw you, you looked so much older,
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder.
You'd been to a station to meet every train,
You came home without Lily Marlene,
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life.
When she came back she was nobody's wife.

Well I see you there with a rose in your teeth,
One more thin gipsy's thief.

Well I see Jane's awake:
She sends her regards.

And what can I tell you, my brother, my killer,
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you,
I'm glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come back here, for Jane or for me,
Well your enemy’s sleeping, and his woman is free.

Yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good, so I never tried...
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear.
Sincerely, L. Cohen
