The ripples in the river
Giving way to waterfalls
The canopies of the forest
Where the ghosts of long forgotten gods
Lie at peace with simple things
And the parts of us that whisper
And say hey
This is a moonlight trip

It's an old abandoned route
And the dust of centuries
Obscures the many signs
It is beyond the wit of man
To farm the sea
As he farms the land

Chandra, Chandra
Chandra's coriander
Chandra, Chandra
It's been a long time
Since anybody walked this way

The mother of a genius
Gets to know the golden rule
A generation passes
And her daughter gives birth to a fool
Tomorrow's child
A primitive soul
The ancient spirits whisper
And say
Hey this is a moonlight ride

From the ruins and filth
The arrogance and pride
The phoenix will rise
Witness to the path he chose
She walks with eyes
Forever closed

Chandra, Chandra
Chandra's coriander
Chandra, Chandra
It's been long time
Since anybody walked this way

. . .


I tried to believe you
but you're so unbelievable
You did what you had to do
It wasn't good
but you knew that anyway
didn't you
hear me crying
Give it one more shot

You came as a trouper
You left as Napoleon
Riding bareback
on a huge white stallion
If you win you can nail
my colours to the mast
But you don't you worry
if you lose I won't ask

Oh look at you know
See how she gets
I can't decide what it is
that I like about you
I'm under too much stress

You're a prima donna
One in a million
a go for it girl
You're a prima donna
Oh, a go for it girl

I was the only one
now you want another one
and one and one
and one and one is
Five good reasons
why I should be leaving
It's never too late
to give it one more shot

Oh look at those eyes
two tropical storms
Until I decide what it is
that I like about you
I'm coming back for more

You're a prima donna
One in a million
a go for it girl
You're a prima donna
Oh, a go for it girl

. . .


Getting down to the light
somewhere in the haze
Unspoken words
that can unlock this maze
Don't worry about me
don't worry about me
I sit alone and hold my head
All day and all night
I want to hold you tight

It's gonna be alright
'cos it's all in my mind
yes it's all in my mind

One day maybe soon
my luck will turn
Break a taboo
and my fingers won't burn
Forbidden fruit
secret desire
The way I feel
All day and all night
I want to hold you tight

It's gonna be alright
'cos it's all in my mind
yes it's all in my mind

. . .


We took the p out of paradise
just to produce this hell
And all we're going to leave behind
is this decaying putrid smell
We've lived in this world
seen her used and abused
That's why god is singing the blues

They felled a great oak over there
they filled a duck pond over here
We've got a glass and concrete monster now
that feeds and caters to our fears
Maybe it's too late
to spoil another view
That's why god is singing the blues

Forgive us father
for we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
and in the name of you
Forgive us mother
for the pain we caused
we destroyed what's yours
That's why papa's singing the blues

Polluted all the oceans
pulped all the trees
Plagued by chronic boredom
we blew a hole in the atmosphere
We tore out her heart
left her battered and bruised
That's why god is singing the blues

Forgive us father
for we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
and in the name of you
Forgive us mother
for the pain we caused
we destroyed what's yours
That's why papa's singing the blues

You may believe in evolution
you may believe in god's great creation
The only thing we know for sure
we got a man made situation
We turned this whole world
into a dying zoo
That's why god is singing the blues

You better live on your feet
than die on your knees
I stole that from some graffiti
lord have mercy please
Living in this babylon
keeps us confused
That's why god is singing the blues

. . .


If the nets were full of holes
And all the holes were full of dreams
And the dreams were full of fortune
They'd be bursting at the seams
And if the seams were made of gold
And you could understand the signs
Would you bet your easy money
On the Christians or the lions?

I'll be true to you
No matter what you do
How you didlin'?
Fair to middlin'
I'll be true to you

If you put into the history books
The writings on the wall
You'll turn them into mystery books
And they're no use at all
No one listens to the losers
Or the prophets or the boys
If you wanted to you couldn't
'Cause they're making too much noise

I'll be true to you
No matter what you do
How you diddlin'?
Fair to middlin'
I'll be true to you

Through the whistlin' and the dancin' and the flyin' of the feet.
The drinkin' and the fightin' and the cryin' in the street.
There's something I must tell you boy before I jack it in.
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din

My daddy was from Scotland
And I couldn't understand
A single word he said to me
Until I was a man
It was about the time
I had me wisdom tooth put in
'Twas then I saw the whiskers
Growing on a dead man's chin

I'll be true to you
No matter what you do
How you diddlin'
Fair to middlin'
I'll be true to you

. . .


Maybe, sex goddess
Tomorrow if you're honest
You'll get a feeling
something's wrong
One of those things
that you can't put your finger on

I set my heart on you
I thought you you knew it
I've been so hard on you

You hurt my dignity
and my pride
And woman,
something deep inside me snapped
The way you looked at me
So cold and I was lost
in my misery

I set my heart on you
I thought you you knew it
I've been so hard on you

I've been hard on you
I've been so hard on you
I've been hard on you
I've been hard on you

I can see you
I can hear you
You smell good
I want to taste you
and touch you
But you're out of reach
no surprise
I knew that you were going
I could see it in your eyes
I set my heart on you
I thought you you knew it
I've been so hard on you

I've been hard on you
I've been so hard on you
I've been hard on you
I've been hard on you

. . .


When you wake up in the morning
you're still dreaming
And your kisses
sleepy warm
So I come on home to you
when I can
Yes I get on home to you
when I can

There's a bright moon in the night sky
that's shining
On a white sheet
where face down you lie
So I lay back in my arms
as you sleep
And I look at you babe
while you sleep

'Cos I love you
yes I love you
I love you


There's a dreamcatcher hangin'
above you
And a love nest
wrapped all around
In the deepest darkest night
'til the dawn
When you wake up
sleepy warm

I love you
I love you
I love you

. . .


Under a desert sky
and it's closing in
Another day gone by
and I don't know where I've been
I said it before
and it's true
All my life I give to you

Wherever I am
Whatever I do
I'm still a country mile
away from you

And the less I say
the more you read my mind
In the morning
I leave it all behind
I said it before
and it's true
I'll say it again it's nothing new

Wherever I am
Whatever I do
I'm still a country mile
away from you

It's nothing new
All my life I give to you

. . .


You called my tune
day by day
You called my tune
you made me pay
I was lost in my room
When you called my tune

Such sweet surrender
I fell in line
Such sweet surrender
every time
I was thinking
this tortured love would never end

Get away
get away
I've got to help myself
start another day
It was a long talk
we had last night
Talked until we saw the light
And then
You sold my love for a song

. . .


Once I tried to eat myself alive
I wanted to know what I was like inside
In the morning every day of my life
Face in my mirror seems so surprised

And I dance by the light of the silvery moon

Day late and a dollar short
That's what my momma said
Wild dreams and empty thoughts
Going through your head

Once I tried to set myself on fire
I was burning with desire
Voice of reason whispers in my ear
I see the light but I cannot hear

Naked dancers chanting in the night

Day late and a dollar short
Never was and I never will be what you're gonna be
A day late and a dollar short it's what my momma said
Wild dreams and empty thoughts
Going through your head

Day late and a dollar short
Dream on, dream on
You're dreamin'
Day late and a dollar short
Momma said
Get back to your bed
Day late and a dollar short
It's what she said to me

. . .


I haven't got a job
'Cos they say they couldn't use no freaks
I want a position at the top
No training and a two day week
Won't you take me
To the land of flood and hunger
Won't you lead me
To the streets of dust and death

Let it rain on me
Let it shine on you
Let the sun shine through
Sugar plum

I haven't got a car
'Cos I never earned enough
To pay the price of fuel
Now I'm playin' my guitar
'Cos you understand that
I got the blues
Won't you take me
To the land of flood and hunger
Won't you lead me
To the streets of dust and death

Let it rain on me
Let it shine on you
Let the sun shine through
Sugar plum

Now I'm walking through the street
And I haven't eaten nothin'
For a week or two
I imagine that my belly's gonna swell
'Til I can't see my shoes
Won't you take me
To the land of flood and hunger
Won't you lead me
To the streets of dust and death

Let it rain on me
Let it shine on you
Let the sun shine through
Sugar plum

. . .


I'll be as strong as a mountain
Or weak as a willow tree
Yes anyway you want me
That's how I will be

I'll be as tame as a baby
Or wild as a raging sea
Anyway you want me
That's how I will be

In your hands my heart is clay
To take and to hold as you may
I'm what you make me
You've only to take me
And in your arms I will stay

Who'd be a fool or a wise man
My darling you hold the key
Yes anyway you want me
That's how I will be

. . .
