Resonant Lyrics

MYSTIFY

All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill divine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we’re leaving broken hearts behind

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

I need perfection
Some twisted selection
That tangles me
To keep me alive

In all that exists
None have your beauty
I see your face
I will survive

Eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
Will kiss you every night

All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill divine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we’re leaving
Yeah we’re leaving broken hearts behind

You’re eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
And they’ll kiss you every night

” And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”

” So we’re drinking and we’re dancing, and the band is really happening, and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high. And my very sweet companion, she’s the Angel of Compassion, and she’s rubbing half the world against her thigh.”

” Hello it’s me. I’m not at home. If you’d like to reach me, leave me alone.”

” They carved your name into the stone and then, they put it in the ground, I run my fingers through the grooves, when no one’s around. Drink till I am sick and then I talk to myself in the dog days of the summer; then I feel you coming but I don’t know how”

” I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, he said to me “you must not ask for so much.” And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, she cried out to me – hey why not ask for more?”

” Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen to one, I’ve got a feeling…this year’s for me and you. So happy Christmas. I love you baby, I can see a better time, when all our dreams come true.”

” My love’s bigger than a Cadillac, I try to show you but you keep drivin’ me back.”

” My love she speaks like silence, without ideals or violence, she doesn’t have to say she’s faithful, yet she’s true, like ice, like fire. People carry roses, make promises by the hours, my love she laughs like the flowers, Valentines can’t buy her.”

” Early one morning the sun was shining, I was laying in bed, wondering if she’d changed at all, if her hair was still red.”

” But there aint no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom of a cracker jack box.”

” In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade; and he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down and cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame….I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains…”

” Don’t remind me of my failures, I have not forgotten them.”

” Yes, I received your letter yesterday, (about the time the door knob broke), when you asked how I was doing, was that some kind of joke? All these people that you mention yes I know them, they’re quite lame, I had to rearrange their faces and give them all another name. Right now I can’t read too good, don’t send me no more letters no, not unless you mail them, from Desolation Row.”

” Mama bought a chicken thought it was a duck, put it on the table with its legs sticking up.”

” I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis, she tried to take me upstairs for a ride, she had to heave me right across her shoulder, ’cause I just can’t seem to drink you off my mind. “

” We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.”

” Living on the road my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean, now you wear your skin like iron, your breath as hard as kerosene. You weren’t your mama’s only boy, but her favourite one it seems, she began to cry when you said goodbye, and sank into your dreams.”

” The pump don’t work ’cause the vandals took the handle”

” I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the heart of the matter, but my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter; but I’m thinking about forgiveness, forgiveness, even if you don’t love me anymore.”

” The man on the corner wants 11 dollar bills and you only got ten”

” Babs and Clean Willie were in love they said, so in love the preacher’s face turned red; soon everybody knew the thing was dead. He shouts, she bites, they wrangle through the night. She go crazy, got to make a getaway, Papa say…..Oh – no hesitation, no tears and no hearts breakin’, no remorse, oh – congratulations, this is your Haitian Divorce.”

” All we hear is radio ga ga, radio goo goo, radio ga ga.”

” I know that’s hard to believe, but there are people you meet; they’re into something that is too big to be expressed, through their clothes, and they’ll put up with all the poses you throw, and you won’t even know. That they’re not sizing you up, they know your mom f***ed you up, or maybe let you watch too much TV. But they’ll still look in your eyes to find the human inside, you know there’s always something in there to see. “

” The road goes on forever, and the party never ends.”

Clay Pigeons-John Prine.

I’m goin’ down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride ’til the sun comes up and down around me ’bout two or three times
Smokin’ cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin’ to hide my sorrow from the people I meet

And get along with it all
Go down where the people say “y’all”
Sing a song with a friend
Change the shape that I’m in,
And get back in the game,
And start playin’ again

I’d like to stay but I might have to go to start over again
Might go back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that I’ve never been
And get up in the mornin’ and go out at night
And I won’t have to go home
Get used to bein’ alone
Change the words to this song
Start singin’ again

I’m tired of runnin’ ’round lookin’ for answers to questions that I already know
I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go
Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin’ again, when I know what to say

I’m goin’ down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride ’til the sun comes up and down around me ’bout two or three times
Smokin’ cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin’ to hide my sorrow from the people I meet
And get along with it all

Go down where the people say “y’all”
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin’ again
When I know what to say

Spring-heeled Jim winks an eye
he’ll “do,” he’ll never be “done to”
he takes on whoever flew through
“WELL, IT’S THE NORMAL THING TO DO”
Spring-heeled Jim lives to love
now kissing with his mouth full
and his eyes on some other fool
so many women
his head should be spinning
AH, BUT NO!
Spring-heeled Jim slurs the words:
“there’s no need to be so KNOWING
take life at five times your
average speed, like I do”
until Jim feels the chill
“oh, where did all the time go?”
once always in for the kill
now it’s too cold
and he feels too
OLD

Forever Young
Alphaville / Forever Young

Let’s dance in style,
Let’s dance for a while
Heaven can wait,
We’re only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not????
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don’t have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip
The music’s for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won??
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders,
We’re getting in tune
The music’s played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever — and ever

Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don’t they stay young?
It’s so hard to get old without a cause
I don’t want to perish like a fading horse
Youth’s like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn’t happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We’ll let them come true

Forever young…
