WHEN YOU DREAM, I GLIDE
PAST EVERY TIME YOU HIDE
WHEN YOU DREAM, I TAKE
EVERYONE YOU FORSAKE
WHEN YOU DREAM
C’EST LA, C’EST LA AND DREAM
C’EST LA, C’EST LA AND DREAM
AND DREAM AND DREAM, AND
WHEN YOU DREAM YOUR WALLS
BY SPARKLING WATER FALLS
SUN WILL RISE, YOUR VOICE
ONLY OUT OF CHOICE
WHEN YOU DREAM
C’EST LA, C’EST LA AND DREAM
C’EST LA, C’EST LA AND DREAM,
YEAH
HERE I AM AND STANDING WITH THE WIND IN MY FACE, TROUBLE STANDING EVERYWHERE SPRINGING FROM EVERY PLACE WHO? WHO? WHO ARE THEY? WHERE AM I BOUND. TO HAVE TO CROSS THIS DESERT LAND. I HAVE TO FIND SOME KNOT THAT CAN’T BE UNDONE. SOME RIGHTOUSNESS THAT CAN’T BE UNDONE.
THERE I AM AND STUCK INSIDE A DREAM THAT’S HAVING ME. ONCE BEFORE I RAN THESE TRACKS NOW I SWAT THE FLIES I SEE. LOOKING FOR THE NEXT. TELL ME HOW DID I GET SO LOST? WAS IT SOME KIND OF LINE I NEVER SHOULD HAVE CROSSED. MY MIND IS SLOW AND DULL, MY FEET ARE THICK AND SLOW, NEVER SPEAKIN’ OF TRUTH AND NEVER LETTING GO
C’EST LA, C’EST LA AND DREAM
C’EST LA, C’EST LA AND DREAM AND
WHEN YOU DREAM, I GLIDE
PAST EVERY TIME YOU HIDE
WHEN YOU DREAM.

IT WAS LATE ONE NIGHT IN JEHOVAH’S TENT
HE WAS DRINKIN WINE WITH HIS AVATAR GIRL
OOH SHE WAS SWEET AND IT WASN’T LOST ON HIM
HOW HE LOVED TO WATCH HER TWIRL
HE SAID, HONEY WILL YOU DANCE FOR ME
IT’D BE A BLESSING FOR ALL CREATION
YOU COULD SHAKE ME TOWARD HAPPINESS
SEND HISTORY IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION
SHE SAID SURE, I’M EASY
YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S ALWAYS SO HARD
JUST GET ME MY ACCOMPANIEST
HE’S THE ONE WHO MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A STAR
GOD SAID SURE, WHAT’S HIS NAME
SHE SAID OH YOU KNOW HIM WELL
HE USED TO LIVE RIGHT HERE WITH YOU
TILL SOMETHING CAME UP AND YOU SENT HIM TO HELL
THE HAIRS STOOD UP ON JEHOVAH’S NECK
HE KNEW WHERE THIS WAS GOING
WHEN YOUR GIRLFRIEND’S GOT YOU BY WHAT YOU NEED
IT CAN BE A DRAG TO BE ALL KNOWING
HE SAID NO I WON’T DO THAT
SHE SAID WELL THEN I WON’T DANCE
YOU LOVE ME FOR WHO I REALLY AM?
PROVE IT, AND TAKE THAT CHANCE
CHORUS:
‘CAUSE NOBODY MAKES ME MOVE LIKE THAT
NOBODY TURNS MY WORLD SO LOOSE
OPEN ME UP FROM MY HEAD TO MY LEGS
MAKE ME FUNKY LIKE A LONG NECK GOOSE
WIND ME UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TOY
TOUCH ME DEEP AND I WANT THAT BOY
GET HIM FOR ME GOD
AND I’LL GIVE YOU MY JOY
GOD KNEW HE HAD NO CHOICE
‘CAUSE, WELL THY WILL BE DONE
HE’D JUST HAVE TO HUMBLE HIMSELF
AND GIVE A CALL ON HIS OTHER SON
HE SENT HIS LAWYERS TO NEGOTIATE
THE DEVIL JUST LAUGHED IN THEIR CROOKED FACE
“IF THE BIG GUY WANTS TO TALK TO ME
TELL HIM TO COME DOWN TO MY PLACE”
SO JEHOVAH CALLED HIS CADILLAC
AND A HANDSOME STUD TO DRIVE
SHIFTED AROUND LIKE A TEENAGE BOY
THE RADIO PLAYED HIS GIRLFRIEND’S MIND
CHORUS:
NOBODY MAKES ME MOVE LIKE THAT
NOBODY TURNS MY WORLD SO LOOSE
OPEN ME UP FROM MY HEAD TO MY LEG
MAKE ME FUNKY LIKE A LONG NECK GOOSE
WIND ME UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TOY
TOUCH ME DEEP OOH I WANT THAT BOY
GET HIM FOR ME GOD
AND I’LL GIVE YOU MY JOY
THEY SAT DOWN TO A GLASS OF WINE
GOD WAS SMUG, PLAYED HIS HOLINESS CHIP
THE DEVIL JUST SAT AND BIDED HIS TIME
RUNNING HIS TONGUE ALONG HIS LIP
FINALLY HE SPOKE IN A HISSING TONE
GOD, YOUR DAY IS LONG GONE
YOU USED TO BE THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN
BUT NOW THERE’S MANY AND YOU’RE JUST ONE
BUT HEY, YOU’RE MY DAD, I’LL PLAY THE GIG
SEND YOUR ANGEL SOME PURE ECSTACY
THERE’S PLENTY OF THAT IN THIS PART OF TOWN
JUST RELAX AND GIVE THE WORLD TO ME
GOD SAID FUCK YOURSELF
AND HE THUNDERED OUT THE DOOR
YOU’RE STILL NO SON OF MINE
THE DEVIL HISSED YEAH, BUT YOU’LL BE BACK FOR MORE
CHORUS:
‘CAUSE NOBODY MAKES YOU MOVE LIKE THAT
NOBODY TURNS YOUR WORLD SO LOOSE
OPEN YOU UP FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR LEGS
MAKE YOU FUNKY LIKE A LONG NECK GOOSE
WIND YOU UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TOY
DRIVE YOU CRAZY BUT I’M STILL YOUR BOY
YES I AM, LIKE IT OR NOT
YES I AM WHAT YOU BEGOT
YES I AM, LIKE IT OR NOT
YES I AM WHAT YOU BEGOT
HORN, TAILS AND A HEART OF GOLD, THAT’S MY POST MODERN SUIT
HORNS, TAIL AND A HEART OF GOLD, AIN’T I CUTE
GET ME FOR HER GOD
AND SHE’LL GIVE YOU HER JOY

FULL MOON, 91ST STREET
SOME MUSIC GOT A HOLD OF MY HEAD
I COULD HEAR IT, BUT I COULDN’T QUITE TELL
WHAT IT SAID
I FOLLOWED IT TO FOUR OR FIVE MEN SITIIN’AROUND A BENCH
AND THEY STOPPED WHEN I GOT NEAR
JUST SORT OF LOOKED AT EACH OTHER
FINALLY ONE OF ‘EM SAID, “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN’ HERE?’
I JUST WANNA SIT ON THE STOOP
SOME FOOL TELLS ME I BETTER GO HOME
I JUST WANNA SIT ON THE STOOP
HE SAYS NO YOU BETTER GO HOME
YOU GOT THE MONEY WE GOT THE STREET
YOU GOT THE INSIDE WE GOT THE BEAT
YOU GOT THE MONEY WE GOT THE BEAT
YOU GOT THE INSIDE WE GET THE STREET
I SAID NO
YOU MUST BE COLOR BLIND
BECAUSE THE MAN MAN AND THE WOMAN MAN MAKE PEACE
YES THEY WILL
THE MAN MAN AND THE WOMAN MAN MAKE PEACE

Sailor Song

I went out drinkin’ with a sailor
I asked him where he been
I went out lovin’ with a lady
Would she let me in to her heart
He said she left when he was younger
And couldn’t recall quite when
She said she knew him as an orphan
And taught him he would be her lord and master
He cleared the land they both were needing
And built himself a barn
Bathe in waters from the mountain
And keep the family warm from the cold
Animals graze in a green field
Soft clouds against the sky
Evening calls me to my lover
And all my reasons why just slip away
But time forgets this land we’ve come from
And we call this place our home
The storm she gathers on the mountain
The outlaw sings his song “it won’t be long”
I took to walkin’ across a valley
You can see faces often chance
Snow lifted her wing and now surrounds me
This pageant is her veil and I’m the same
I built a fire and I’ve been waiting
For this night to pass away
My face is burning my back is freezing
And turning only turns my trouble around
It’s a sailor song
