Time to Turn the Tide

 Time to Turn the Tide

 

Gather round young and old

Try to brave the bold

The time for war is gone

Take some love and carry on

Take some love and carry on

The world is collapsing

Hate is what’s happening

It’s time to turn the tide

It’s time to turn the tide

 

The time of Love is here

Let that Love conquer fear

Take your girl by the hand

On the way to the Promised Land

On the way to the Promised Land

In the ocean of existence

Why does Love meet resistance

It’s time to turn the tide

It’s time to turn the tide

 

People, people, people

Proclaim it from the steeple

The time for war is gone

Take some Love and carry on

Take some Love and carry on

Can this world live in peace

This Earth needs some release

We should act unified

It’s time to turn the tide

Don’t get lost in your pride

It’s time to turn the tide

Too many tears have been cried

It’s time to turn the tide

It’s time to turn the tide

It’s time to turn the tide

Midnight Lover

 Midnight Lover

 

Woke up and drank coffee and cream

My mind couldn’t shake the dream

I had a vision that you came

You softly whispered my name

Then in the dark of the deep night

You made it all right

 

Sipping java from my cup

So sorry that I woke up

Reading sports in the news

I’m still thinking of you

You filled me with wonder

I need you midnight lover

 

You can look there’s nothing better to discover

The greatest find is my magnificent midnight lover

I could never dream of giving my heart to another

I long for you deep in my soul, my midnight lover

 

Looking out my window

The train always goes to slow

The sky is a dark gray

And into sleep I slip away

 

I can feel your kisses deep

I wish I could always sleep

I believe in heaven yes it’s true

It’s paradise loving you

 

You can look there’s nothing better to discover

The greatest find is my magnificent midnight lover

I could never dream of giving my heart to another

I long for you deep in my soul, my midnight lover

 

I love you

It’s very true

It’s how I feel

But it’s not real

I love you

It’s very real

But it’s no good

I need flesh and blood

 

You can look there’s nothing better to discover

The greatest find is my magnificent midnight lover

I could never dream of giving my heart to another

I long for you deep in my soul, my midnight lover

I Am Jesus

I Am Jesus

 

I’m a two bit punk

Who’s hooked on junk

I’m a pregnant mother

With no lovin’ father

I’m a homeless man

Dirty as a garbage can

I am Jesus, I am Jesus

I’m God Allmighty

Bow down and worship me

O okay

Right now today

 

I’m a man on death row

I’m a preacher on a t.v. show

I’m the sperm conceived

I’m the man who believed

I’m the president of France

I’m a girl at a dance

I am Jesus, I am Jesus

I’m God Allmighty

Bow down and worship me

O okay

Right now today

 

I’m a rock and roll star

I’m the guy who went too far

I’m ugly I’m handsome

I’m Charlie Manson

I’m the pope

I’m the fellow hooked on dope

I dance in a strip tease

I’m a fag with AIDS disease

I am Jesus, I am Jesus

I’m God Allmighty

Bow down and worship me

O okay

Right now today

 

I’m a child

I’m a little wild

I’m a queer

I’m a drunkard on beer

I’m a stud

I’m a virgin

I’m a commie

I’m a nazi

I am Jesus, I am Jesus

I’m God Allmighty

Bow down and worship me

O okay

Right now today

Oliver’s Madness

 Oliver’s Madness

 

The ghost of Pele rages in my soccer sneakers

The twin spirit of Jimi Hendrix plays on my speakers

I got eight tracks of Jim Morrison covering Lead Belly blues

I’m wearing slippers matching Dorothy’s ruby red shoes

 

Oliver is running on a twisty road

Endless bombing hear misery explode

Oliver Oliver this doesn’t make any sense

I’d trade the universe for some shiny six pence

 

I got a degree from dorm sixty-two Graystone U

Rain on the brain will make you insane from my point of view

In the dungeons of Grayhawk I met a greedy grubby troll

If I had a fist full of gold dollars I’d buy your soul

 

Oliver is running on a twisty road

Endless bombing hear misery explode

Oliver Oliver this doesn’t make any sense

I’d trade the universe for some shiny six pence

 

The books of psychiatric diagnoses are long

If you read the endless pages you’ll see the shrinks think wrong

The Thorazine shuffle at the zombie dance we’ll all rebel

You’ll get a piece of heaven when you give them burning hell

 

Oliver is running on a twisty road

Endless bombing hear misery explode

Oliver Oliver this doesn’t make any sense

I’d trade the universe for some shiny six pence

 

Oliver tell me what went wrong?

Oliver this is your special song

Oliver twist it’s a new dance

Oliver Twist here’s your last chance

 

Rich and poor endless war Babylon is soon to fall

Far from Gog and Magog I hear the screamin’ demons call

When you hear these words remember everything that could went wrong

But it ain’t about John he’s gone this is Oliver’s song

 

Oliver is running on a twisty road

Endless bombing hear misery explode

Oliver Oliver this doesn’t make any sense

I’d trade the universe for some shiny six pence

D-I-R-T

 D-I-R-T

 

Well you daddy is a millionaire

And you don’t even have a care

All you gotta do is give a ring

And the servants will get you anything

Oh miss princess proper and elite

To you I’m the ground beneath your feet

I know what you think of me

D-I-R-T

Maybe it’ll always be

D-I-R-T

But if you wanna know what’s true

Baby I’m too good for you

 

Well I make an honest living

I ain’t rich I take what their giving

I’m not wealthy it can’t be denied

But I’m good and decent deep inside

Now some may say that’s a great worth

Not you princess you call me dirt

I know what you think of me

D-I-R-T

Maybe it’ll always be

D-I-R-T

But if you wanna know what’s true

Baby I’m to good for you

 

Cocktail party caviar

Limousine with a bar

Oh so well read

Got a king size bed

You love fancy art

But you ain’t got a heart

Look in the mirror and see

It’s you who is D-I-R-T

Cause all you hold precious

Is really useless

I see all you do

But still Love you

Foolish heart of mine

It’s a crime

Who can help me

Empty Coffins

 Empty Coffins

                                                                       

Queen of the dream yesterday don’t belong              

Been in the scream crucifying my wrong      

Sinful sharks like a dog barks in greed          

In the Land Of Plenty so many in need         

 

Did you love me when the song turned sad?

When life went all wrong and I burned mad

Empty coffins they wait for us all

Empty coffins they beckon and call

 

Endless war rages money men to blame

Burning cities refugees full of shame

Soldiers kiss their wives maybe goodbye

Don’t you know brother we’re fighting for a lie

 

Did you love me when the song turned sad?

When life went all wrong and I burned mad

Empty coffins they wait for us all

Empty coffins they beckon and call

 

I’m betrayed by friends cheated by strangers

A world of illusion I see dangers

Do your best then try to take a rest

Happiness is a never ending quest

 

Did you love me when the song turned sad?

When life went all wrong and I burned mad

Empty coffins they wait for us all

Empty coffins they beckon and call

 

You’re standing at death’s door ready to leave

There’s something better I gotta believe

Where is true Love when you need God most?

Where is my true Love when she’s only a ghost?

 

Did you love me when the song turned sad?

When life went all wrong and I burned mad

Empty coffins they wait for us all

Empty coffins they beckon and call

The Babies Of Fallujah

The Babies Of Fallujah

 

Ain’t on glory in war cause its living hell

There’s depleted uranium in the artillery shell

How dare they fight to defend their land

We’ll give them a lesson they’ll understand

 

The babies of Fallujah hear them cry

The babies of Fallujah see them die

Gringo comes to kill never asking why

The babies of Fallujah hear them cry

 

There’s oil a plenty in that desert waste

We got freedom so lets give them a taste

Cowboy junkies addicted to endless war

The United States called Babylon the Whore

 

The babies of Fallujah hear them cry

The babies of Fallujah see them die

Gringo comes to kill never asking why

The babies of Fallujah hear them cry

 

Our favorite pastime is learning how to kill

We say we love Jesus but we don’t do God’s will

Bow down to the golden calf great is our greed

There’s a price to pay so we’ll make you bleed

 

The babies of Fallujah hear them cry

The babies of Fallujah see them die

Gringo comes to kill never asking why

The babies of Fallujah hear them cry

 

And its bombs bombs bombs away

Oh Lord Lucifer it’s a glorious day

And its bombs bombs bombs away

And the babies of Fallujah are the ones to pay

 

In the rubble of Fallujah so few survive

They give thanks and praise just to be alive

Life goes on but mutated babies are born

See the babies of Fallujah hear the mothers mourn

 

The babies of Fallujah hear them cry

The babies of Fallujah see them die

Gringo comes to kill never asking why

The babies of Fallujah hear them cry

Silent Cries

Silent Cries

 

The story of King Leopold is being retold

They barter innocent souls for the price of gold

And don’t you know it’s the same as yesterday

The powers that be simply look away

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

As long as they get their money let the people be damned

They’re raping the women while stealing the land

For the wealth in the ground the armies are here

Forces of terror they deal the devil’s fear

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

From the history of man the lessons are learned

As a human being you should be concerned

When your brother perishes in genocide

For the love of God you must choose a side

 

What would you do if it happened to you?

Tomorrow the nightmare could come true

The holocaust it never comes to an end

Until we embrace all humanity as friend

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

The river flows red from the blood of the slain

Greed is the evil deed that drives man insane

We must stop the tide peace can’t be denied

In Congo once more the pure are crucified

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh why don’t you answer our silent cries?

Born to Chase the Wind

Born to Chase the Wind

 

The dusty old trail is calling me on

Come the morning and I will be gone

And all that will be left of you and me

Will just be a pleasant memory

I never made a promise to you my love

I didn’t take an oath to God above

I’ll remember you I tell you no lie

At least until the next gal comes by

 

Well I was born to chase the wind

It’s such a sad life my friend

Yeah I was born to chase the wind

And I see that it’s blowing again

 

I got a pack with a couple of things

I never know what tomorrow brings

Maybe sunshine or clouds overhead

I hope I’m lucky enough to find a bed

No I ain’t a bum don’t you say so

I’m a wandering worker a regular hobo

I’ll clean your house or wash your car

Then I’ll relax and play my guitar

 

Well I was born to chase the wind

It’s such a sad life my friend

Yeah I was born to chase the wind

And I see that it’s blowing again

 

My roof is the sky

On green grass I lie

Too tired to weep

Gently I sleep

Dreams inside my mind

Of some better time

Then comes the morn

And I’m back on my journ

 

Well I was born to chase the wind

It’s such a sad life my friend

Yeah I was born to chase the wind

And I see that it’s blowing again

With you good sir I’ll travel a while

Pass the whiskey and make me smile

I can tell you a tale or sing you a song

It really helps that the liquor is strong

Ever since Adam when he ate from the tree

All that man knew was misery

Talk about woman I think about Eve

If it weren’t for her we’d never grieve

 

Well I was born to chase the wind

It’s such a sad life my friend

Yeah I was born to chase the wind

And I see that it’s blowing again

 

Well one day I shall enter my rest

I’ll look God in the eye cause I’ve done my best

I may go to heaven I may go to hell

The future’s uncertain who can tell

But this I know as a solid fact

I’ll have good times for me to look back

Yes I’ll have just one request in the end

O God Allmighty let me catch the wind

 

Well I was born to chase the wind

It’s such a sad life my friend

Yeah I was born to chase the wind

And I see that it’s blowing again

And I see that it’s blowing again

Wild Child

Wild Child

 

She died her hair green for just a laugh                     

Laughing in the mirror there’s my better half            

Combat boots and a self-made tie dye                       

Life is for the living give it a try                                

 

She was a wild child without within

Having a good time ain’t a sin

She was a wild child full of the Holy Ghost

She was a wild child it ain’t a boast

 

The boys say ‘she’s weird’ as she walks bye

But all the girls notice their lingering eyes

Anarchy’s really a state of mind

And the real truth of love is being kind

 

She was a wild child without within

Having a good time ain’t a sin

She was a wild child full of the Holy Ghost

She was a wild child it ain’t a boast

 

A refugee from nineteen sixty-three

Letting go is the secret of being free

She flirts quickly and dances so slow

Always sitting the front row for the show

 

She was a wild child without within

Having a good time ain’t a sin

She was a wild child full of the Holy Ghost

She was a wild child it ain’t a boast

 

There are secrets that we could never tell

There couldn’t be heaven without hell

It’s not where you’re born but how it ends

If we can’t be lovers then let us be friends

 

She’s a poet who believes in rhyme

Simultaneously ahead and behind her time

Life is a song so start the singing

She’s a wild child and that’s what she’s bringing

 

She was a wild child without within

Having a good time ain’t a sin

She was a wild child full of the Holy Ghost

She was a wild child it ain’t a boast

Love Brings

Love Brings

 

Red and blue flowers of sound

Me and you hours profound

A kiss so sweet full of bliss

Where Am I tell me what’s this

 

Here is the future here is the past

No one is first no one is last

Queens and kings everyone sings

These are the things that Love brings

 

A cool breeze a gentle rain

No anger, gone is the pain

Seeds planted in fertile heart

Sunshine of joy do your part

 

Here is the future here is the past

No one is first no one is last

Queens and kings everyone sings

These are the things that Love brings

 

Castles high made of cotton

Hate and evil forgotten

Rainbow bridges to Saturn

Beauty wherever you turn

 

Here is the future here is the past

No one is first no one is last

Queens and kings everyone sings

These are the things that Love brings

 

Deep treasures to uncover

Take the hand of your lover

Smiling faces everywhere

Perfection is when we share

 

Here is the future here is the past

No one is first no one is last

Queens and kings everyone sings

These are the things that Love brings

Tune Of The Sky

Tune Of The Sky

 

Gold dust lovely lady of the dawn

Tomorrow I trust today is gone

Long shadows glows dance on still water

Laughter’s born Love’s precious daughter

 

Whistling winds tune of the sky

Lonely angel flying high

Spirits speak telling why

Sacred secrets never to die

 

Crimson stains crying in anguished pains

In the end what remains?

Ashes to ashes dust of the Earth

Seeds sown in sorrow’s rebirth

 

Whistling winds tune of the sky

Lonely angel flying high

Spirits speak telling why

Sacred secrets never to die

 

Sound of the Trumpet final cry

You will make it if you try

Setting sun forgetting all

Night time rhyme the moon’s call

 

Whistling winds tune of the sky

Lonely angel flying high

Spirits speak telling why

Sacred secrets never to die
