Criminals

Different times, different days, good things come to those who wait.
I make movies of myself. I feel for you and no one else.
The hanging pictures on my wall, the view at night it gets involved.
I make movies of myself, I feel for you and no one else.
I make movies of myself, just to be with you. Trailing postcards on the edge of my window ledge.
That makes us criminals, there’s no way out, but there’s no way back, see the places you’ve been gone. That makes us criminals, there’s no way out, but there’s no way back, see the places you’ve been gone. That makes us criminals, there’s no way out.
Different times, different days, good things come to those who wait.
I make movies of myself. I feel for you and no one else. I think maybe you feel the same, cause I need you to clear my name. I make movies of myself, I feel for you and no one else.
I make movies of myself, just to be with you. Trailing postcards off the edge of my window ledge. I make movies of myself, just to be with you. Trailing postcards off the edge of my window ledge.
That makes us criminals, there’s no way out, but there’s no way back, see the places you’ve been gone. That makes us criminals, there’s no way out, but there’s no way back, see the places you’ve been gone. That makes us criminals, there’s no way out, but there’s no way back, see the places you’ve been gone That makes us criminals, there’s no way out.

The Sleepers

There go the sleepers, out for a walk at night.
The clouds they were heavy, but the stars were very bright.
They thought for a moment that this was a special night.
Thunder was rolling and the moon passed by on a bike.
Oh, there they go.
Oh, there they go.
Oh, there they go.
There go the sleepers, out for a midnight ride.
The angel and dreamer, arm and arm and side by side.
They thought for a moment that this was a special night.
Their lips they were touching and their face reflected light.
Sometime I close my eyes real tight and then I see, I’m not asleep, it’s being awake, so very late, that frightens me.
Oh, there they go.
Oh, there they go.
Oh, there they go.
There go the sleepers.
There go the sleepers.

Hole In the Ozone

They say the rich girl never worked for anything. Her clothes would shimmer, shimmer bright. But no one hears the tone, when she’s on her own. There’s someone here for you are you home?
About a hole in the ozone.
About a hole in the ozone.
They say the rich girl never cared for anyone, she’s bought and paid for in their eyes. But she won’t let it show, when she’s all alone. There’s someone here for you are you home?
About a hole in the ozone.
About a hole in the ozone.
You know getting away from here would do you well, do you well.
Oh getting away from here would do you well.
There’s a hole in the ozone.
There’s a hole in the ozone.
You know getting away from here would do you well, do you well.
Oh getting away from here would do you well.
You’re all mixed up and compromised, you’re going to have to realize, you’re going. Getting away from here would do you well.
You know getting away from here would do you well, do you well.
Oh getting away from here would do you well.

Moon Over Me

Now she’s a girl in black chiffon, no conscience on, but that’s no game.
Likes to whistle softly on and on when she says his name.
The way his big day is waiting he’s got no time, cause money talks, money talks, money talks.
Far as the eye could see, but it’s moon over me, these are the things I wanted.
Moon over me, I can’t see those lights falling down.
Her hair is auburn like the song, the lyrics wrong, but her eyes are staring like the day is long. Got an answer to a prayer just like in dreams, but he only speaks now with his head down. After a few more hours he knows it’s time to go.
Far as the eye could see, but it’s moon over me, these are the things I wanted.
Moon over me, I can’t see those lights falling, I can’t see those lights falling down.
I thought I saw you under the streetlight corner (stop) three quarter blink (turn) sleep, tired, start over.
I thought I saw you under the streetlight corner (turn), (blink).
Far as the eye could see, but it’s moon over me, these are the things I wanted.
Moon over me, bound up and disregarded. Moon over me, no time for red dress honey. Moon over me, I can’t see those lights falling, I can’t see those lights falling down.
Got a few more drinks from the place downstairs, the door is closed and the window’s stuck. So you can’t get in but you can’t get out, so you can’t get in but you can’t get out, so you can’t get in but you can’t get out. So you can’t get out.

Leaves You Wanting

Promises a sea of water, a place to fall and rest your head.
Promises you bluer skies, like your pain won’t follow, like your pain won’t follow.
The words that take away your madness, winds that howl, waves that crash.
Does it leave you wanting? Does it leave you wanting?
Does it leave you, does it leave you, does it leave you wanting?
Take me where the sun is rising, take me to the waters edge.
And if the mist is too sublime, we’ll do the dance as little ones, and all of our movements will be complete. We shall melt upon the rocks.
Does it leave you wanting? Does it leave you wanting?
Does it leave you, does it leave you, does it leave you wanting?
Promises you, stars that glisten and flicker in and out of sight. Promises the great existence. Can it be, the shadow will not pass and can it be our day just might come. Does it leave you, does it leave you?
Does it leave you wanting? Does it leave you wanting?
Does it leave you, does it leave you, I know it leaves you wanting?

Desperate Visions

Yeah they’re desperate, desperate. They go walk at night.
They go walking, walking in the street. They go looking, looking for a chance.
I bet they’re hungry looking for some thing, bet they’re losing, losing their minds.
They are desperate, desperate visions, yeah they’re desperate, desperate visions. They are desperate, desperate visions, yeah they’re desperate, desperate visions.
Oh lonely, lonely girl. Looking for a hero of this world.
A pale image starts to fade away. But she can’t wait, can’t wait another day.
Light strikes a submissive stare, see the faces everywhere. They’re the visions of your past, they’re the visions of your past. Someday, someday, they’ll be forgotten, Someday, someday, they’ll be forgotten.
They are desperate, desperate visions. Yeah they’re desperate, desperate visions. Yeah they’re desperate, desperate visions.
Yeah they’re desperate, desperate. They go walk at night.

Holly Judy

When I met Holly Judy, I thought the sun rose in her eyes.
When I met Holly Judy, she said:
“boy I’ve got myself a big, big problem oh yeah. I can’t let the world go, no. I’ve got myself in real deep, but I know you’re something rare.”
When I met Holly Judy, I saw the aces up her sleeves.
When I met Holly Judy, she said I’ll tell you what I need. She said:
“boy I’ve got myself a big, big problem oh yeah. I can’t let the world go, no. I’ve got myself in real deep, and more (nightmare creeps). Now you’re talking that way (talking). Baby not even talking (walking), maybe you’re the one please. I know you’re something rare.” Alright Holly.
I couldn’t ask for anything more. I want you lord. I couldn’t ask for anything more.
Sometimes it’s funny that way. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I want you lord.
I couldn’t ask for anything more.
When I met Holly Judy, I saw the truth about her fate. She stood and stared around and waited. I checked my watch I was too late.

Jupiter in the Big City

Chewing on the well-known curse. You look twice and you get worse.
The dreams you had so far away, the nights were long, you couldn’t wait for that.
Trying to make a hit, always choose the others lip. All the ghosts have gone away, all the ghosts have gone away.Chewing on the well-known curse. You look twice and you get worse.
The dreams you had went up in smoke. The nights were long, you couldn’t take the joke. Trying to make a hit, always choose the others lip. All the ghosts have gone away, all the ghosts have gone away.
I recall the different days of a man they called Sunny Ray. Diamond cops and coffee shops and playing nights for decent pay. I recall the golden eyes, that would haunt and hypnotize. All the ghosts have gone away.
Now it’s Jupiter in the big city, Jupiter in the big city, Jupiter in the big city, Jupiter in the big city.
Chewing on the well-known curse. You look twice and you get worse.
The dreams you had went up in smoke. The nights were long, you couldn’t take the joke. Trying to make a hit, always shooting from the hip. All the ghosts have gone away, all the ghosts have gone away.
I recall the different days of a man they called Sunny Ray. Diamond cops and coffee shops and playing nights for decent pay. I recall the golden eyes, that would haunt and hypnotize. All the ghosts have gone away.
Now it’s Jupiter in the big city, Jupiter in the big city, Jupiter in the big city, Jupiter in the big city.
All the ghosts have gone away. All the ghosts have gone away. All the ghosts have gone away. All the ghosts have gone away.
Jupiter in the big city, Jupiter in the big city, Jupiter in the big city, Jupiter in the big city.

June Georgia

June Georgia, June Georgia.
I came all this way, I came all this way to warn you.
I came all this way, I came all this way to warn you.
I came all this way to warn you, about the villain by your side. I came all this way to see you. Find you out a place to hide.
Come on, take a midnight train, take a midnight train, don’t stay there in the corner. Take a midnight train, take a midnight train, don’t stay there where they want you.
June Georgia, June Georgia.
I came all this way to warn you, about the villain by your side. I came all this way to see you. Find you out a place to hide.
Come on, take a midnight train, take a midnight train, don’t stay there in the corner. Take a midnight train, take a midnight train, don’t stay there where they want you, over in the corner.
So when I’m standing alone by the window, I’d see you coming at last, I know the time has come, you’re the one.
I thought I met you so many times. I’ve only seen you in pictures in prime time.
June Georgia.

New Morality

Bonds, but no escape in sight, chained, but nothing bound. Rope, but no one tied too tight, free, but no one tried to fight.
Burned, but no one touched too hot, shot, but no one fired. Saved, but no one came to save, fixed, but not entire.
Call it New Morality, call it New Morality.
Sight, but no one has the eyes, brave, but not for long.
Asleep, but only half asleep. Right, but just so wrong.
Call it New Morality, call it New Morality.
Who will stay and who will go. Who knows what the future holds?
If they say you’ve got two years. In six months they’ll make you wish you were gone.
We’ll call it New Morality, call it New Morality, call it New Morality, call it New Morality.
