Альбом Alabama 3

I'm in a lonely room
Hank Williams sings the Lovesick Blues
Winter's walking up the avenue
And I ain't seen the sunshine since the 6th of June
But I tell you this

Chorus:
Don't call the doctor, I'm gonna get better
Don't run for the priest, I'm gonna find some faith
Just because I burned my bible baby
It don't mean, I'm too sick to pray

I'm in a crowded place
But I can't recognize a single face
They say the thrill is in the chase
Well I ain't got the legs, ain't got the legs
To run that race

But I tell you this

Chorus:
Don't call the doctor, I'm gonna get better
Don't run for the priest, I'm gonna find some faith
Just because I burned my bible baby
It don't mean, I'm too sick to pray

They say I made my money messing up young minds
I stooped the congregation and left them crying in the rain
Yea left them with their pain
Exit your boy with his ill-got left them crying in the rain
Yea left them with their pain
Exit your boy with his ill-got pain
Exit your boy with his ill-gotten gains

Well the blood runs deep and the blood runs cold
As the knife slits so another sucker is born and thrown into this world alone
The doctor came knocking, wasn't nobody home
Better burn a candle light

Rap

Ease The Pain

Repeat Chorus

The doctor came knocking, wasn't nobody home

Ease the pain

Gotta find some faith

Repeat chorus

Better burn the candle bright

Rap

Ease The Pain

if I were ever to die
not likely say I
because I am gonna go on and on
just like the sun you see come up every dawn
I'm there, eternal
you know, the power I have is the power to unleash love in every sphere
I can make ladies rise from the dead no fear
watch how I do it listen up here
a drop of my seed to the east, to the west, to the north and the south
and then I bring them up slow and they start shoutin' out loud
and I make love till the cock crows and then baby don't you know
you goin' back in the hole again 'till I bring you up once again
to fill my lovin cup

I found darkness in the heart of the sunshine
I got blinded by the light in the moon
a black dog was barkin' at my back door
when I began my life born alone
and now my home is just a headache as a heartache
there no comfort in my family's arms
an'now I know I'm ready to go under
there ain't no need to set the clock to alarm

'cause I like walkin' in my sleep, yeah
it's the nightmare on the thirteenth floor
I've been wadin' in too deep, yeah
they found some blood stains on the basement door

I went looking for some peace in the country
but I found violence on the village green
the trees are com-tapped the mountain wired
with the clone closed circuit tv
as things fall apart my center is not holdin'
I crawl the city streets like a blind man
the beast has just departed Bethlehem
the second coming is getting out of hand

but I like walkin' in my sleep, yeah
it's the nightmare on the thirteenth floor
I've been wadin' in too deep, yeah
they found some blood stains on the basement door

come with me now baby the ghosts are on, arise
I seen the sun just like medicine
take ....... tranquilize

underground

dreams come true

dreams come, come, come, come, come, come...

I wanna go deep down, yeah
I wanna go deep down, yeah
'cause I remember
met down by the river
the blue moon on the rise, yeah
I broke down 'at Brando move
by your Marilyn Monroe eyes, yeah
we were swimmin' in silver
we were searchin' for gold
and we promised that night
that we would never grow old

and you sang to me
wade into the water with me
wash my body down
take me to the bottom baby
an' I won't make a sound
baptize me like a child
let salvation start
'cause if you take me to the bottom of the river, baby
I'll take you to the bottom of my heart
(take me down to the river)

we burned brighter than heaven
Lord we, we shone like the stars
I got as as drunk as Bogart
you were just smokin' like the call
we were digging for diamonds
we were divin' for pearls
higher up than the satellites
and out of this world

and you sang to me
wade into the water with me
wash my body down
take me to the bottom baby
'cause I won't make a sound
baptize me like a child
gotta let salvation start
'cause if you take me to the bottom of the river, baby
I'll take you to the bottom of my heart
(take me down to the river)

well now the, the river is frozen
the blue moon is down
my drink has run dry
Lord your cigarette's gone out
all the diamonds and the pearls, yeah
all the silver and the gold
they were born to the dust, yeah
it's so cold

sing it now
wade into the water with me
wash my body down
take me to the bottom baby
'cause I won't make a sound
baptize me like a child
gotta let salvation start
'cause if you take me to the bottom of the river, baby
I will take you
I will take you, now

so wade into the water with me
wash my body down
take me to the bottom baby
'cause I won't make a sound
baptize me like a child
gotta let salvation start
'cause if you take me to the bottom of the river, baby
I'll take you to the bottom of my heart
(take me down to the river)

deep down, yeah
deep down to the bottom

(take me down to the river)
(take me down to the river)
(take me down to the river)

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven or this could be hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is 'Tiffany-twisted', she got the 'Mercedes bends'
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969'
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'We are all just prisoners here of our own device'
And in their masters' chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
Tryin to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax', said the night man
We are programmed to receive
You can checkout any time you like
But(cha) you can never leave

livin' it up (livin' it up)
I'm livin' it up (livin' it up)
livin' it up (livin' it up)
Yeah livin' it up
livin' it up (livin' it up)
I'm livin' it up (livin' it up)

livin' it up at the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
You can find us here

livin' it up (livin' it up)
I'm livin' it up (livin' it up)
livin' it up (livin' it up)
Yeah livin' it up
livin' it up (livin' it up)
I'm livin' it up (livin' it up)

Just livin' it up (livin' it up)
livin' it up (livin' it up)
(repeat to fade)

Cocaine killed my community
Heroin hurt my home
Mama went down on the Morphine
Papa got high on the Physeptone
My sister swings on Psilocybin
My brother brokeon Barbituates
My two little cousins got shot selling rock
Outside the old school gates

CHORUS

I don't mind cos I live in the light
I live in the light of the Lord
The sword, the Lord he gave me
Is the sword thats gonna save me
I live in the light of the Lord
'Cos
I need it every hour,
I need it every hour,
I need it every hour my gracious Lord

Don't know if i miss you
Do you miss the part of me that used to feel?
Maybe if i kissed you
You'd miss the part of you that used to need me
Maybe if i held you
Took some time to tell you
The only time i hold you now is in my dreams
Schemes we shared together
Sweet sunsets, rocking chairs,
Are looking just as faded as my jeans

All the thrill are gone
What used to kill the pain no longer passifies you
What satisfied me once
Got me jumping the find of fire
Has left me burning on the wire
All the thrills are gone

(There's something missing. it takes quite a while to Realise, the whole world is changing.)

Sometimes when i'm walking
I walk the way you and i would walk
Sometimes when i'm drinking
I think about the things we used to talk about
A lovers lane(?) is to love
Every telephone is broken
I can't carry my words home to where i want to be
Some candlelit location
Singing on the radio station
Dreams slipping like an anchor to the sea

All the thrills are gone
What used to kill the pain no longer passifies you
What satisfied me once
Got me jumping the ring of fire
Has left me burned out on the wire
All the thrills are gone.

when I saw you in the garden of Gethsemanie
drunk when you realized the plan
you fell into the arms of Mary Magdalene
stain of stigmata on your hands
when the sky fell down on Calvary
I saw the light shining in your eyes, yeah

'cause you and me baby
we were born ten thousand years ago, yeah,
yeah now, and I know it sounds crazy, but we got ten thousand more to go, yeah

and then we followed behind the sisters to La Hagera
saw Ramos kiss like a Judas on the wire
when they cut his hair and they laid him out like Jesus
I know October sixty-seven John Lennon lied
Seargent Pepper could not help us, no
when the flowers died, I realized, yeah

that you and me baby
we were born ten thousand years ago, yeah
yeah now, and I know it sounds crazy, but we got ten thousand more to go, yeah
Oh I don't hear it now, yeah

and in twenty-one twenty-nine we gonna meet in a cantina in Carletta
I'm gonna put Bessie Smith on the jukebox all night long
when the Spanish sun comes up on our empty cups
I'm gonna take you dancin deep down into the dawn

and one bright mornin when we meet Saint peter, yeah
I ain't gonna give a damn if he dont let us in

'cause you and me baby
we were born ten thousand years ago, yeah
yeah now,
and I know it sounds crazy,but we got ten thousand more to go, yeah

Robert Johnson knew your name
short for Billy Holiday
put the barricades in nineteen sixty eight
'cause you knew the man who shot JFK
Lenin gonna love it
Lord I heard the news
just the Basilicas fear the Jews
there will be another curse on the passage of guilt
Steve Lawrence sang the blues, yeah

you and me baby
we were born ten thousand years ago, yeah
yeah now,
and I know it sounds crazy, but we got ten thousand more to go
I don't hear it now, yeah

We ain't seen land for 13 months
The water's running dry
The Captains drunk, stoned in his bunk
I seen the bosun gettin' the rum
My mouth's so dry from the rum
that came from a bottle now long gone
St Christopher if you hear this now
Give us hope to carry on

The albatross flew across the bow
Below deck the captain roared
Bring me my gun
I want Opium
Stoned he shot the bird
When the wind died down the only sound
Was the whisper of his dying words
Beware don't stare at the Marie Celeste
This quest of ours is cursed

The full moon light burned bright as fire
As fever gripped the crew
To the east AhabÕs screams
Split the wof ours is cursedÓ

The full moon light burned bright as fire
As fever gripped the crew
To the east Ahab's screams
Split the winding sheet in two
To the west six silouettes
Hung sailors now long gone
We prayed that night that in the morning light
We'd all be blown to kingdom come

Just as we started sinking
The harbour lights came on
Arms of angels carried us
From the rocks we brokblown to kingdom come

Just as we started sinking
The harbour lights came on
Arms of angels carried us
From the rock we broke upon
As we swam into the still waters
The band began to play
I heard again that sweet refrain
Lord 0 happy day

Its gotta be alright
