Wait a minute my friend
Don’t pass me up for dead
As Babylon crumbles to sand
A flower blossoms in my hand
The people drifting by
Another day ends
Another day ends
An eventful day ends
Why am I alive?
See my ribbons flowing
I don’t wanna be like you
Don’t wannt be like you!
There’s no others
There’s no others
We’re burning up in here
My body’s burning
We’re burning up in here
There’s no others
The voice of the people cry
Drone on in monotone
Here is the news
It’s all so sad
On the black and white
The diluted truth
Pennies will make it pure again
Pennies make it pure
Don’t ask me why
People are drifiting by
Indifferent to stormy skies
Another day ends
The last others fall down
Another day ends
Why am I alive?
Why am I alive?
See my ribbons flowing
I don’t wanna be like you
Don’t wanna be like you!
There’s no others
There’s no others
There’s no others
There are no others in here
There are no others in here
Bleed me dry, well bleed me dry
Bleed me dry, bleed us all dry
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time For freedom, baby
There’s someone knocking on my door
A tall dark figure I’ve never seen before
His badge shone brightly like a star in the sky
drag me out to the waiting car
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby
A flock of vultures spinning round my head
left me on the roadside for dead
cars pass by but no one stares
These waking dreams they never end
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, you we gotta try
Law man on the bank now honey
Hound dog on my trail
Wake up time for freedom
before the night prevails
There’s someone knocking on my door
A tall dark figure I’ve never seen before
is that your —– like a star in the sky
He drag me out to the waiting car
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby
I’m so blind I cannot see
you’re so warm to me
I’m not there/you are here
Please take me
The saints are down
Life’s so long or short should I say
I am here to get it on with you today
Girl you should know that I love you more than I can say
Sometimes I fear all those things that come down on us anyway
My saints are down Let me tell you why
Hey pretty good what you got to say
Whose fucking life is it anyway
Don’t you know anything about anybody else
You’re so wrapped up in your tiny self
Saints are down/you’re saints are down
Down, they’re down and they’re not coming round
They’re not easily found, and they’re buried in the ground
Yeah they’re buried upside down
Saints are down yes they are
I thought you’d be out of my mind
And I’d finally found a way to
Learn to live without you
I thought it was just a matter of time
Till I had a hundred reasons
Not to think about you
But it’s just not so
And after all this time
I still can’t let go
I’ve still got your face
Painted on my heart
Scrawled upon my soul
Etched upon my memory baby
I’ve got your kiss
Still burning on my lips
The touch of your fingertips
This love so deep inside of me
I was trying everything that I can
To get my heart to forget you
But it just can’t seem to
I guess it’s just no use
In every part of me
Is still a part of you
I’ve still got your face
Painted on my heart
Scrawled upon my soul
Etched upon my memory baby
I’ve got your kiss
Still burning on my lips
The touch of your fingertips
This love so deep inside of me
I’ve still got your face
Painted on my heart
Painted on my heart
Painted on my heart
Something in your eyes keeps haunting me
I’m trying to escape you
And I know there ain’t no way to
To chase you from my mind
I’ve still got your face
Painted on my heart
Scrawled upon my soul
Etched upon my memory baby
I’ve got your kiss
Still burning on my lips
The touch of your fingertips
This love so deep inside of me
I’ve still got your face
I’ve still got your face
Painted on my heart
Painted on my heart
Painted on my heart
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
Or just another lost angel…City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woo, c’mon L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon Drive thru your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blue-blue Blues
Into your blues, ohh, yeah I see your hair is burnin’
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar Drivin’ down your freeways
Midnite alleys roam Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman…
So alone, so alone
So alone, so alone
Motel Money Murder Madness
Let’s change the mood from glad to sadness
Mr. Mojo Risin’, Mr. Mojo Risin’
Mr. Mojo Risin’, Mr. Mojo Risin’
Got to keep on risin’
Mr. Mojo Risin’, Mr. Mojo Risin’
Mojo Risin’, gotta Mojo Risin’
Mr. Mojo Risin’, gotta keep on risin’
Risin’, risin’
Gone risin’, risin’
I’m gone risin’, risin’
I gotta risin’, risin’
Well, risin’, risin’
I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin’
Woah, ohh yeah
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
Or just another lost angel…City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woah, c’mon
L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman, your my woman
Little L.A. Woman, Little L.A. Woman
L.A. L.A. Woman Woman
L.A. Woman c’mon
Earth mother for you
See the world all drippin’ red
Earth mother for you
See the world all drippin’ red
State of confusion
Exists only in your head
Earth mother for you
Now it’s time for justice
In the scene of discontent
A time for justice
In the scene of discontent
State of confusion
Exists only in your head
Earth mother for you
What do you want?
Earth mother for you
Funky earth mofo, mofo
Funky funky mofo
