Raven black night
Let me walk with you upon the wind
Dream-escape to another world where we belong
Sleep-awake make up your mind
Help me find a stranger, a stranger with the answer
Who'll enlighten me and just disappear
Into the raven black night
Raven black night
Stars no longer even try to shine
Penetrate the darkness for a moment
But what's the use
Death dance make up your mind
Do I fear the spirits
And hide from the angels
Do I try to find the light
Or do I just follow you
Into the raven black night
Raven black night
Let me walk with you upon the wind
Dream-escape to another world where we belong
we belong
we belong

When you're walking down the street
I'll be the one that stares like a statue
You turn the corner
I'll be the one that follows you downtown
When you finally notice me
I'll be the one fumbling with his feelings
Totally oblivious to anything and everything else around
Girl, when we met
I'll be the one that showers you with attention
To win your love
I'll fight until the very end
When you treat me like a fool
I'll be the one that doesn't need redemption
Yeah, drive me away
I'll keep coming back again and again
I'll be the rain if you want me to be
Help you to grow with no guarantee
Even be the clown sad but true
But don't use me up
Or I'll be the one that used to worship you
When silence fills your world
I'll be the one that knows what you're thinking
And when passion burns like fire
I'll be the one bathing in the light
When the curse of darkness falls
I'll be the one who offers a candle
I'll even be the cushion
For things that go crazy in the night
I'll be the rain if you want me to be
Help you to groa with no guarantee
Even be the clown sad but true
But don't use me up
Or I'll be the one that used to worship you
I'll be the rain if you want me to be
Help you to groa with no guarantee
Even be the clown sad but true
But don't use me up
Or I'll be the one that used to worship you

Go out yonder, peace in the valley
Come back home, have to rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Anybody seen my baby?
Livin' alone sure drive me crazy
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
I'm goin' down to river
But I ain't gonna jump in,
I'll be there lookin' for my maker
'Cause I seen that's where she's been Lord!
Out of nine lives, I spent seven
How in the world do I get to Heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse
For the crime of having no dough
Here I am now back out on the street
For the crime of having nowhere to go
Save your neck or save your brother
These days you know it's one or the other
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Go out yonder, peace in the valley
Come back home, have to rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
The shape I'm in, the shape I'm in

As I stand here searching for the right words
I know that wisdom comes from despair
And I realize it's harder to find your own voice
Than to follow one already in the air
And as our time draws nearer
I wonder just when we stopped being young
And I know my greatest deeds will go unnoticed
And our treasures were here all along
Child of the earth hear my confession
Please don't tell me that it's overdue
And from the four corners of the universe
I will make my way to you
A gentle touch known only to each other
And a breath that comforts like the rain
And a taste no other shall ever know
That upon my tongue shall remain
Child of the earth heal me with your whisper
Hold me close to your breast
Dress my wounds with your innocence
I am weary let me rest
Let your rain wash over me
You know all I ever hoped to be
Is half of what you are to me
So take me from this island
Lead me to the mountains of the moon
As long as you lead I will follow
And the end of time will be too soon
Child of the earth hear my confession
Please don't tell me that it's overdue
And from the four corners of the universe
I will make my way to you
Child of the earth heal me with your whisper
Come and hold me close to your breast
Dress my wounds with your innocence
I am weary let me rest
I am weary
I am weary
I will make my way to you
I will make my way to you
I will make my way to you

Stand by to stand by
Ain't no need to worry today
Thorazine shuffle make everything OK
I know how you feel
You say you need your highs and lows
But what if you could take your pain
And just let it go
Step right back and watch me now
I'll show you how it's done
Stay right here with me now
Till the damage is done
And the damage is done
Time drags by
When you're boring
Don't care what you do care what you say
There comes a time
When you got to let the monster inside you
Let him come on out, come on out and play
Step right back and watch me now
I'll show you how it's done
Stay right here with me now
Till the damage is done
Step right back and watch me now
I'll show you how it's done
Stay right here with me now
Till the damage is done
And the damage is done
Stand by to stand by
Ain't no need to worry today
Thorazine shuffle make everything OK
. . .

I can feel the rain fall down
Like tears upon my shoulders
I can feel the hard wind blow, blow on forevermore
I can feel the gods look down
Some laugh while some are crying
I can feel their wasted tears, cry on forevermore
Can't you see, my whole world is nothing without you
Can't you see, my whole world is nothing without you
Once in a lullaby you brought me joy and laughter
Now that it's all used up, I'll cry forevermore
Once in a lullaby a paper sun was shining
Now that its all burned up, darkness forevermore
Can't you see, my whole world is nothing without you
Can't you see, my whole world is nothing without you
Where will I run to when I need a place to hide
Far away from New York City
Who will I turn to now that our love has died
Can't you see, my whole world is nothing without you
Can't you see, my whole world is nothing without you
I can feel the rain fall down
Like tears upon my shoulders but
I can't feel my love
She's gone forevermore
