BURY ME ON THE MOON

Well I wake up in the morning
It’s already afternoon
I unstrap my dreams
Float out of my room
Stumble down the stairwell
In search of the day
No sooner do I find it
Than the sun slips away
I’m stranded in the falling night
Pacing up and down
Dreaming ‘bout morning light
And love I never found
But I keep on dreaming
‘Cause that’s what I was born to do
And when I finally sleep forever
Don’t leave me here
Bury me on the moon

Papa he’s a banker
Jimmy just withdraws
You can live outside of space and time
You can live outside the law
But you can’t live without love girl
There’s longing in your eye
It’s a universal feeling I’ve come to recognize
Place your heart on the table
Watch me steal it away
I might give it back tomorrow
But let’s live for today
Let’s keep on loving
‘Cause that’s what we’re born to do
And when we finally sleep forever
Don’t leave us here
Bury us on the moon

Sun comes up
Moon falls down
Those balls keep changing
But I’m still around
Adding up my mistakes
Tearing down the past
Thinking ‘bout the only thing
That I know can last

CHINATOWN

Took my body down
To Chinatown
I took it down so raggedly
I was feeling free

Just another clown
In Chinatown
With too much time on my hands
Walking in my evening trance

It’s there I found my fortune
Wrapped in something sweet
It’s where I claim my portion
Of life on the street
Chinatown

There’s magic all around
In Chinatown
Pass the dragons at the gate
Step inside the palace of jade
You’ll find consolation
For all of your woes
I searched the Buddha’s smile
There’s something that he knows

I think I’ll go
Back to Chinatown
I can’t let go
Of what I found
I fell into
A different dream
In Chinatown

Took my body down
To Chinatown
I took it down so carefully
I was feeling weak

You’ll find consolation
For all of your woes
I searched the Buddha’s smile
There is something that he knows

I think I’ll go
Back to Chinatown
I can’t let go
Of what I found
I fell into
A different dream
In Chinatown

I can’t let go
Of what I found
I can’t let go
Of what I found
I can’t let go

RAIN

Johnny’s walking ‘round so numb
He’s heard of love and he wants some
He’ll play any part
Make any deal
He’s thinking ‘bout how lately
He ain’t feeling anybody’s words
So he prays for rain
‘Cause rain is something he can feel
Rain is something he can feel

Tanya’s coming home from work
She’s moving through her private gloom
Still it’s a gloom that is real
She’s thinking ‘bout a world that was
Thinking ‘bout a man she loved
And she’s praying for rain
‘Cause rain is something she can feel

Rain rain let it rain
Let it pour and pour
And when the world feels its pain
Let it rain some more
Just to be sure
Let it rain some more
Just to be sure
