Give it away now, girl
Can't hold on to mine
Every black and white
Secrets blinking light
Emma flies a kite
Said she's feeling love for everyone tonight
Although possible
Said she's feeling good, said she's feeling good

Smiling beautiful
She says I make it best
For everyone to hide
Twisting around my girl
Nothing left to lose
Nothing left to fight
 
The creature in the sky
Got sucked in a hole, now there's a hole in the sky
And the ground's not cold
And if the ground's not cold, everything is gonna burn
We'll all take turns, I'll get mine too
 
What a curious life
We have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees
 
Look into my eyes
You will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart
Search your soul
And when you find me there
You'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you
 
But it's runnin' out, it's runnin' out

Oh, I know that I can't live without you
But this world will keep turning if you do
Would you even want me looking like a zombie?
Would you even want me, want me, want me?
 
There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washing my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence, baby, let me in

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So, go easy on me
 
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease
And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose
 
I'm going down to the place tonight
To see if I can get a taste tonight
A taste of something warm and sweet
That shivers your bones and rises to your heat
 
I'm going down to the place tonight
To see if I can get a taste tonight
A taste of something warm and sweet
That shivers your bones and rises to your heat

Pretty Pink Rose - Adrian Belew / David Bowie

A pretty pink rose
That rock 'n' roll lady takes a spaceship ride, she's out of this world
A pretty pink rose
 
Here in northeast Ohio
Back in eighteen-o-three
James and Dan Heaton
Found the ore that was lining Yellow Creek
They built a blast furnace
Here along the shore
And they made the cannonballs
That helped the Union win the war
 
Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road
 
I saw the future once, I was drunk in a phone booth
My eyes were wet and red but I could not tell what was said
 
At the center of the world
There's a statue of a girl.
She is standing near a well
With a bucket bare and dry.

I went and looked her in the eyes
And she turned me into sand.
This clumsy form that I despise
It scattered easy in her hand.

And came to rest upon a beach,
With a million others there.
We sat and waited for the sea
To stretch out so that we could disappear

Into the endlessness of blue,
Into the horror of the truth.
You see, we are far less than we knew.
Yeah, we are far less than we knew
 
When I wake up in the morning get close to you
Yeah
I was sucked to the river but the river was hung dry
High up in the clouds the stars raise their glass to you
Yeah
Visions of light stream down from the afterlife
Hum at night that feels so right
It heals my eyes
It leads a cavalcade
Fur eyes Fur eyes
Fur eyes don't feel the earth move
 
There's a crystal view from my window
And I can see the years to come
I live for the burn and the sting of pleasure
I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun

I can tear down the walls, storm the barricades
Run to the place where the frightened crawl
Desire lurks beyond good and evil
So I dance on the graves where the hallowed fall
 
Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
