"Canciones" que son poesías.

[Ophelia]

"Ah, ah, when I was younger

Ah, ah, should have known better

And I can't feel no remorse

And you don't feel nothing back

Ah, ah, got a new girlfriend

He feels like he's on top

And I don't feel no remorse

And you can't see past my blinders

Ophelia, you've been on my mind girl since the flood

Ophelia, heaven help a fool who falls in love

Ah, ah, got a little paycheck

You got big plans and you gotta move

And I don't feel nothing at all

And you can't feel nothing small

Honey I love you, that's all she wrote

Ophelia, you've been on my mind girl like a drug

Ophelia, heaven help a fool who falls in love

Ophelia, you've been on my mind girl since the flood

Ophelia, heaven help a fool who falls in love

Ophelia, you've been on my mind girl like 7 3rug

Ophelia, heaven help a fool who falls in love"

[Cleopatra]

"I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress

When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand

But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress

With my father in a casket, I had no plans

And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet

And it hardened like my heart did when you left town

But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant

Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me

Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true

So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me

From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce

But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part

I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters

But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind

Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom

It's a bed and a bathroom

And a place for the end

I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time"

[Sleep On The Floor]

"Pack yourself a toothbrush dear

Pack yourself a favorite blouse

Take a withdrawal slip, take all of your savings out

Cause if we don't leave this town

We might never make it out

I was not born to drown, baby come on

Forget what Father Brennan said

We were not born in sin

Leave a note on your bed

Let your mother know you're safe

And by the time she wakes

We'll have driven through the state

We'll have driven through the night, baby come on

If the sun don't shine on me today

And if the subways flood and bridges break

Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave

Or will you rail against your dying day

And when we looked outside, couldn't even see the sky

How do you pay the rent, is it your parents

Or is hard work dear, holding the atmosphere

I don't wanna live like that

If the sun don't shine on me today

If the subways flood and bridges break

Jesus Christ can't save me tonight

Put on your dress, yes wear something nice

Decide on me, yea decide on us

Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois

Pack yourself a toothbrush dear

Pack yourself a favorite blouse

Take a withdrawal slip, take all of your savings out

Cause if we don't leave this town

We might never make it out"

[Angela]

"When you left this town, with your windows down

And the wilderness inside

Let the exits pass, all the tar and glass

'Til the road and sky align

The strangers in this town

They raise you up just to cut you down

Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming

And your Volvo lights lit up green and white

With the cities on the signs

But you held your course to some distant war

In the corners of your mind

From the second time around

The only love I ever found

Oh Angela it's a long time coming

Home at last

Were you safe and warm in your coat of arms

With your fingers in a fist

Did you hear the notes, all those static codes

In the radio abyss?

Strangers in this town

They raise you up just to cut you down

Oh Angela it's a long time coming

Oh Angela spent your whole life running away

Home at last

Home at last

Vacancy, hotel room, lost in me, lost in you

Angela, on my knee, I belong, I believe

Home at last

Home at last

Home at last

Home at last

Home at last

(Uuu uuu uu uu uu, uuu uuu uu uu u)

(Uuu uuu uu uu uu, uuu uuu uu uu u)"

[My Eyes]

"Oh, the devil's inside

You opened the door

You gave him a ride

Too young to know, too old to admit

That you couldn't see how it ends

What did you do to my eyes

What did you sing to that lonely child

Promised it all but you lied

You better slow down baby soon

It's all or nothing to you

The glow of Hollywood signs

They sold you a bridge

They fed you the lines (they fed you to lions)

You always confused your servants for friends

But you couldn't see how it ends

It's all or nothing to you

What did you do to my eyes

What did you say to my only child

Promised your love but you lied

You better slow down baby soon

It's all or nothing to you

What did you do to my eyes

What did you sing to that lonely child

Promised it all but you lied

You better slow down baby soon"
