1.BIG EXIT

Look out ahead
I see danger come
I wanna pistol
I wanna gun
I'm scared baby
I wanna run
This world's crazy
Give me the gun
Baby baby
Ain't it true
I'm immortal
When I'm with you
But I wanna pistol
In my hand
I wanna go to
A different land
I met a man
He told me straight
You gotta leave
It's getting late
Too many cops
Too many guns
All trying to do something
No-one else has done
Baby baby
Ain't it true
I'm immortal
When I'm with you
But I wanna pistol
In my hand
I wanna go to
A different land
I walk on concrete
I walk on sand
But I can't find
A safe place to stand
I'm scared baby
I wanna run
This world's crazy
Gimme the gun
Baby baby
Ain't it true
I'm immortal
When I'm with you
But I wanna pistol
In my hand
I wanna go to
A different land

2.GOOD FORTUNE

Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
But I'd rather have done it with you
Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love
In Chinatown
Hungover
You showed me
Just what I could do
Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth
And I feel like some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face
I paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To put into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world
And I feel like
So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern-day
Bonnie and Clyde
On the run again

3.A PLACE CALLED HOME

One day
I know
We'll find
A place of hope
Just hold on to me
Just hold on to me
Walk tight
One line
You're wanted
This time
There's no-one to blame
Just hold on to me
And I'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
And the bells keep ringing } come on my love
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
And the girl keeps singing
I walk
I wade
Through full lands
And lonely
I stumble
I stumble
With you
I wait
To be born
Again
With love comes the day
Just hold on to me
Now is the time to follow through, to read the signs
Now the message is sent, let's bring it to its final end
One day I know there'll be a place called home

4.ONE LINE

Do you remember the first kiss
Stars shooting across the sky
To come to such a place as this
You never left my mind
I'm watching from the wall
As in the streets we fight
This world all gone to war
All I need is you tonight
And I draw a line
To your heart today
To your heart from mine
A line to keep us safe
All through the rising sun
All through the circling years
You were the only one
Who could have brought me here
And I draw a line
To your heart today
To your heart from mine
A line to keep us safe

5.BEAUTIFUL FEELING

Sometimes I can see for miles
Through water and fire
From England to America
I feel life meet my eyes
And it's the best thing
A beautiful feeling
A smile from San Diego
He is still a boy
Two ends to every rainbow
And a train from Mexico
But he's the best thing
A beautiful feeling
And when I watch you move
And I can't think straight
And I am silenced
And I can't think straight
It's the best thing Such a beautiful feeling

6.THE WHORES HUSTLE AND THE HUSTLERS WHORE

Speak to me of universal laws
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
All around me people bleed
Speak to me your song of greed
Speak to me of your inner charm
Of how you'll keep me safe from harm
I don't think so, I don't see
Speak to me of your inner peace
Little people at the amusement park
City people in the dark
Speak to us, send us a sign
Tell us something to keep us trying
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustler and the hustlers whore
This city's ripped right to the core
Speak to me of heroin and speed
Of genocide and suicide, of syphilis and greed
Speak to me the language of love
The language of violence, the language of the heart
This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love
Heaven and earth don't ever mean enough
Speak to me of heroin and speed
Just give me something I can believe
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustler and the hustlers whore
This city's ripped right to the core

7.THIS MESS WE’RE IN

Can you hear them
The helicopters
I'm in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me
In the eye directly
You met me
I think it's Wednesday
The evening
The mess we're in and
The city sun sets over me
Night and day
I dream of
Making-love
To you now baby
Love making
On screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise
Over the river
The freeway
Reminding
Of this mess we're in and
The city sun sets over me
What were you wanting
I just want to say
Don't ever change now baby
And thank you
I don't think we will meet again
And you must leave now
Before the sunrise
Above skyscrapers
The sin and
This mess we're in and
The city sun sets over me

8.YOU SAID SOMETHING

On a rooftop in Brooklyn
One in the morning
Watching the lights flash
In Manhattan
I see five bridges
The empire state building
And you said something
That I've never forgotten
We lean against railings
Describing the colours
And the smells of our homelands
Acting like lovers
How did we get here
To this point of living
I held my breath
And you said something
And I am doing nothing wrong
Riding in your car
Your radio playing
We sing up to the eighth floor
A rooftop, in Manhattan
One in the morning
When you said something
That I've never forgotten
When you said something
That was really important

9.KAMIKAZE

How could that happen
How could that happen again
Where the fuck was I looking
When all his horses came in
And he built a whole army
Of kamikaze
10,000 willing
Pilots flying
Interfacing
Space and beyond
Built an army
To come and find me
Beyond all reason
Beyond all my hopes
The call of duty
Another war zone
Makes me moan
Kamikaze - you can't touch me, kamikaze
Eight miles high
He walks his path
And I follow mine
One tooth for one eye
He's come to find me
10,000 willing
Pilots flying
Interfacing
Space and beyond
Here is his army
Interspace here we come
Kamikaze-you don't touch me
Space here we come

10.THIS IS LOVE

I can't believe life's so complex
When I just wanna sit here and watch you undress
This is love that I'm feeling
Does it have to be a life full of dread
I wanna chase you round the table, I wanna touch your head
This is love that I'm feeling
I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
When you taste so good
I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
While my head burns
This is love that I'm feeling
Even in the summer, even in the spring
You can never get too much of a wonderful thing
You're the only story that I never told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in
This is love that I'm feeling

11.HORSES IN MY DREAMS

Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the sea
They pull out of here
They pull, they are free
Rode a horse around the world
Along the tracks of a train
Broke the record, found the gold
Set myself free again
I have pulled myself clear
Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the sea
On the tracks of a train
Set myself free again
I have pulled myself clear

12.WE FLOAT

We wanted to find love
We wanted success
Until nothing was enough
Until my middle name was excess
And somehow I lost touch
When you went out of sight
When you got lost into the city
Got lost into the night
I was in need of help
Heading to black out
Until someone told me run on in honey
Before somebody blows your goddam brains out
You shop-lifted as a child
I had a model's smile
You carried all my hopes
Until something broke inside
But now we float
Take life as it comes
So will we die of shock
Die without a trial
Die on Good Friday
While holding each other tight
This is kind of about you
This is kind of about me
We just kind of lost our way
But we were looking to be free
But one day we'll float
Take life as it comes
