FALLEN ANGEL
Tears of joy at the birth of the brother
Never alone from that time
Sixteen years through knife fights and danger
Strangely why his life and not me
West side skyline crying
Fallen angel dying
Risk a life to make a dime
Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city
Make us the people we are
Switchblade strings in one tenth of a moment
Better get back to the car
Snow white side streets of cold N.Y.C.
Stained with his blood it all went wrong
Sick and tired blue wicked and wild
God only knows for how long
Fallen... angel... Fallen... angel
West side skyline crying
For an angel dying
Life expiring in the city
Fallen angel...
ONE MORE RED NIGHTMARE
Pan American nightmare
Ten thousand feet fun-fair
Convinced that I don't care
It's safe as houses I swear
I was just sitting musing
The virtues of cruising
When altitude dropping
My ears started popping
One more red nightmare
Sweet beginning to pour down
My neck as I turn round
I heard fortune shouting
Just get off of this outing
A farewell swan song
See you know how turbulence can be
The stewardess made me (*)
One more red nightmare
Reality stirred me
My angel had heard me
The prayer had been answered
A reprieve has been granted
The dream was now broken
Though rudely awoken
Really safe and sound
Asleep on the Greyhound
One more red nightmare
STARLESS
Sundown dazzling day
Gold through my eyes
But my eyes turn within
Only see
Starless and bible black
Ice blue silver sky
Fades into grey
To a grey hope that oh
Years to be
Starless and bible black
Old friend charity
Cruel twisted smile
And the smile signals emptiness
For me
Starless and bible black
*Note, though it is not listed there is a one after "The stewardess..."
I believe it is "But the captain forbade me" could be that the CD is definitive
edition, the lyrics may not be, but I really don't know, it's not unusual
for thigs to be odd like that (Ohh, that made sense) -MJF
