I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you
On your padded shoulder
And your golden chest
In a wilderness of glass we rest
And all the flowers they are our words
And my chances follow dances
Into a storm afraid
A sweet and bitter rest he gets
A sweet and bitter rest he gets
I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you
. . .

He reminds all the laughter
That has left me going down
And my heart is falling silently
Into the driving evening sound
Sometimes we must keep from bringing
Certain thoughts up to the light
And a matter of the winning
In a case of two lips lies
I have been looking out for him
From over this broken bridge
The safest place it seems to be
To ever reach his purple lips
. . .

Give awareness and some light
To the darkness outside
A roof above my head might just be right
For such a tender night
Give awareness and some light
To the darkness outside
A roof above my head might just be right
For such a tender night tender night
The bridge will show you how to fall
More than one good person you can call
Stepping on the stairway
Climbing up the wall
Has the man I told you about
Stopped in here or called ?
Stepping on the stairway
Climbing up the wall
Has the man I told you about
Stopped in here or called ?
Was it the right moment to lift his head
And did he see that you are mad
Seven daughters and one son
And their father's on the run
He is gone long past midnight
From the Towers strikes the time.
What will they do when morning dawns
They may not be able to explain
Are you ready for a good fight
Are you ready for laughter
It is you that we are after
It is you
You can give me one more chance
Forget that it is me who must fight
. . .

White light lays above
The Henry Hudson riverbank
And you will see a lady standing
Stealing past a happy ending
Staring at the happy landing
Her heart beats loud and fast
Her love looks like a broken glass
White light lays above
The riverbank
A sinking ship has brought the light
Upon the land
And Henry Hudson knows not where
The lady's standing
A lonely shoulder must grow older
Waiting on the riverbank
. . .

I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man
Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man
Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man
. . .

The hours since I saw you last
Have left me in an unknown past
They do not seem to leave me
They seem to join me on the road
Or even when I take a boat
A light
Insanely bright is standing
A fainting force
My loneliness remains attending
The hours since I saw you last
Have left me in an unknown past
They do not seem to leave me
They seem to join me on the road
Or even when I take a boat
A light
Insanely bright is standing
A fainting force
My loneliness remains attending
. . .

Orly flight
Madrid tonight
Close the door
On the last floor
Close the flight
Prepare your sight
As if you'd never
Seen the light
Understand
The fortune spent
This crazy crime
Has no regret
Orly flight
Madrid tonight
Close the door
On the last floor
Orly flight
Madrid tonight
Close the door
On the last floor
Close the flight
Prepare your sight
As if you'd never
Seen the light
Understand
The fortune spent
Conceal your pain
Conceal your pride
. . .

I
I will be King
And you
You will be Queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
You
You can be mean
And I
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers
And that is a fact
Yes, we're lovers
And that is that
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We could steal time
Just for one day
We can be heroes
For ever and ever
What d'you say?
I
I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
the dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Nothing will keep us together
We can beat them
Forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes
Just for one day
I
I will be King
And you
You will be Queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be us
Just for one day
I
I can remember
Standing by the Wall
The guns shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
We can beat them
Forever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
