Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin', everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day? Hey


Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey

I was lyin' in a burned-out basement
With a full moon in my eyes
I was hopin' for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playin' in my head
And I felt like getting high
I was thinkin' about what a friend had said
I was hopin' it was a lie
Thinkin' about what a friend had said
I was hopin' it was a lie

The cabaret was empty now, a sign said. "Closed for repair"
Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair
She was thinkin' about her father who she very rarely saw
Thinkin' about Rosemary, and thinkin' about the law
But most of all she was thinkin' about the Jack of Hearts.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill, in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needle work
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
There's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start

 

I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn

 

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me

Stand!
In the end, you'll still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do
Stand
There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere
Stand
For the things you know are right
It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight
Stand
All the things you want are real
You have you to complete and there is no deal

...We've got these chains hanging around our necks
People wanna strangle us with them before we take our first breath
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls, we just look away

This name is the hairshirt I wear
And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair
This song is the cross that I bear
Bear with me, bear with me, bear with me
Be with me tonight
I know that it isn't right...
But be with me tonight...

For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out
I'm just a link in your chain

 

Oh, you got me where you want me
I ain't nothin' but your fool
You treated me mean
Oh, you treated me cruel

 

Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain
of fools

Who claims that no man is an island?
While I land up in jeopardy
More distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me


I know why, I know why

 

Crazy on a ship of fools
Oh, crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around, back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no 
Ship of fools

I'm gonna take you on a trip so far from here
I've got two tickets in my pocket, now baby, we're gonna disappear
We've waited so long, waited so long
We've waited so long, waited so long

 

I've got two tickets to paradise
Won't you pack your bags, we'll leave tonight
I've got two tickets to paradise
I've got two tickets to paradise

We took this trip to Garden Grove
It smelled like Lou-dog inside the van, oh yeah
This ain't no funky reggae party, $5 at the door
It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme
I've got the microwave, got the VCR
I got the deuce-deuce in the trunk of my car, oh yeah

Well, I'm not bragging babe, so don't put me down (deuce coupe)
But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town (deuce coupe)
When something comes up to me, he don't even try (deuce coupe)
'Cause if I had a set of wings, man I know she could fly

She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)

Well she slid down the hall in her socks and yelled “Come outside,

No, no no, nothing’s wrong I just happen to have a surprise”

So we fell through the door like the autumn leaves

And I wrestled my brother down to his knees

Just to watch as her rocket shot into the October sky

 

There’s a picture of us

In a layer of dust

On the mantle right by my cigarettes that I smoked since you left

‘Cause you said you had to fly

In your October sky

 

Now I work in the city and I blend into the crowd 
And the people grieve with me since the towers came down, down 
You could cut the pollution with a butter knife 
You could wake up at two and then party all night 
But I'm missin' my mama, so I stand on the street and get high

There's a picture of us 
Hidden in a layer of dust 
On the mantle 
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke since you left 
'Cause you said you had to fly
In your October sky

In case you failed to notice
In case you failed to see
This is my heart...
Bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees, these

Foolish games are...
Tearing me apart
And your...
Thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in treetops, shouting out rude names


Whistling tunes
We hide in the dunes by the seaside

 

Whistling tunes
We piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout

… Whoa, thought it was a nightmare
Lord, it's all so true
They told me, don't go walking slow
The devil's on the loose

 

… Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Whoa, don't look back to see

Mustang Sally, uh, uh
Guess you better slow your Mustang down
Oh, Lord, what I say now
Mustang Sally, now baby, oh Lord
Guess you better slow your Mustang down, huh, oh yeah

You've been running all over the town now
Oh, I guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground, huh
What I said now
