I am made from the dust of the stars And the oceans flow in my veins Here I hide in the heart of the city Like a stranger coming out of the rain The evening plane rises up from the runway Over constellations of light I look down into a million houses And wonder what you're doing tonight

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer Came down upon her head Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer Made sure that she was dead

Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me

What happened here as the New York sunset disappeared? I found an empty garden among the flagstones there Who lived here? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop Now it all looks strange It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain

When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's off with her head Remember what the Dormouse said Feed your head Feed your head

Panacea, passion pure I can't resist your gentle lure My heart will lie beside you And my wandering body grieves Another endless day Silhouettes of grey Another glass of wine Drink with eyes that shine To days without that chill at morning Long nights, time out of mind

Like a pair of vagabonds who wave between two passing trains Or the glimpse of a woman's smile through a window in the rain I can smell her perfume, I can taste her lips I can feel the voltage from her fingertips Net boy, net girl Send your heartbeat 'round the world Let your fingers walk and talk And set you free

Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah. Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye. Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'.

Wilderness of mirrors World of polished steel Gears and iron chains Turn the grinding wheel I run between the shadows Some are phantoms, some are real

It's magic you know Never believe it's not so It's magic you know Never believe it's not so Never been awake Never seen a day break Leaning on my pillow in the morning Lazy day in bed music in my head Crazy music playing in the morning light

I don't know I don't know which side I'm on I don't know my right from left Or my right from wrong Say I'm a fool Say I'm nothing But if I'm a fool for you Oh, that's something Two hearts beat as one Two hearts beat as one Two hearts

Rock a bye baby, on the tree top, When the wind blows the cradle will rock. When the bough breaks the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all.

Daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago Back in the USA, back in the bad old days In the heat of a summer night In the land of the dollar bill When the town of Chicago died And they talk about it still

Give a little bit Oh, give a little bit of your love to me I'll give a little bit I'll give a little bit of my love to you There's so much that we need to share So send a smile and show you care (Alright) I'll give a little bit I'll give a little bit of my life for you So give a little bit Oh, give a little bit of your time to me See the man with the lonely eyes Oh, take his hand, you'll be surprised

Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin' Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name Catfish are jumpin', that paddle wheel thumpin' Black water keeps rollin' on past just the same Old black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me?

I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream

Every "uniform reveal" I see feels like this:

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright

Here in this hopeless f-----g hole we call L.A. The only way to fix it is to flush it all away Any f-----g time, any f-----g day Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay

When I die and they lay me to rest Gonna go to the place that's the best When I lay me down to die Goin' up to the spirit in the sky

I know that I'm a prisoner To all my Father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Boys will come along, a dime by the dozen That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin' Hey little thing, let me light your candle 'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

It was long after midnight When we got to unconditional love She said "sure my heart is boundless but don't push my limits too far" I said "if love is so transcendent, I don't understand these boundaries" She said "just don't disappoint me, you know how complex women are"

Living in a fisheye lens Caught in the camera eye I have no heart to lie I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend All the world's indeed a stage We are merely players Performers and portrayers Each another's audience outside the gilded cage

Well, I was only a kid, didn't know enough to be afraid Playing the game, but not the way the big boys played Nothing to lose, maybe I had something to trade The way the big wheel spins Well, I was only a kid, on a holy crusade I placed no trust in a faith that was ready-made Take no chances on paradise delayed So I do a slow fade
