1 "Waiting Underground"
If you believe
All your hope is gone
Down the drain
Of your humankind
The time has arrived
You'll be waitin' here as I was
In a snow white shroud
Waitin' underground
There by the ridge
Be a gathering beneath the pilgrim moon
Where we shall await
The beat of your feet
Hammering the earth
Where the great ones tremble
In their snow white shrouds
Waitin' underground
If you seek the kingdom come, come along
Waitin' by the ridge
There'll be a gatherin'
Beneath the pilgrim moon
Where the railroad thunders
Oh, where we shall await
The beat of your feet
Hammering the earth
And as the earth resounds
Where the great ones tremble
And your humankind becomes as one
And then we will arise
In our snow white shrouds
Ohh, when we'll be as one
Ohh, but until that day
Ohh, we will just await
In our snow white shrouds
Waitin' underground
In our snow white shrouds
Waitin' underground
Waitin' underground
Waitin' underground
...
If you believe
All your hope is gone
Down the drain

2 "Whirl Away"
Hello friend, I've come a callin'
Passively stationed, active patrol
Slidin' in at high noon like some reluctant sheriff
Not wanna get involved in it all
Who stands guard for each other?
Why must we guard anything at all?
Anything at all
From the earth's four corners the people are calling
Forming equations but the questions are hard
All men are brothers, killing each other
And Mother Earth is wringing in wonder
Who stands guard for each other?
Oh, why must we guard anything at all?
Anything at all
Whirl away now
Whirl away now
Whirl away now
Whirl away
There's a cross on the road, there's a great mill turnin'
Some seeking answers, some born to dancers
You can hold on the blade and turn around forever
Be flung into space into another kind of grace
Who stands guard for each other?
Oh, why must we guard anything at all?
Anything at all
Whirl away now
Whirl away now
Whirl away now
Whirl away
Whirl away now
Whirl away now
Whirl away now
Whirl away
Give [Incomprehensible]
Some giveth their hand
Some giveth their land
Some giveth their life
You lay in the fields of grain, the staff of life all around you
But yet you, you will cut someone down
For their possessions, some material thing
And our children they're being blown away like wishes in the wind
For the sake of their coat
Or the colors of their coat
Or the color of their skin
Or the name on their shoes
And the mother cries
"Why they taken my son?"
And the father wonders
"Are they taking my boy?"
He extended his hand
He gave them his land
He gave them his bread
He gave them his heart
Said, "Hello friend"
Hello friend
Hello friend
Hello friend
Hello friend, I've come a callin'
Passively stationed, active patrol
Slidin' in at high noon like some reluctant sheriff

3 "1959"
Listen to my story
Got two tales to tell
One of fallen glory
One of vanity
The world's roof was raging
But we were looking fine
'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings
In 1959
Wisdom was a teapot
Pouring from above
Desolation angels
Served it up with love
Igniting like every form of light
Then moved by bold design
Slid in that thing and it grew wings
In 1959
It was blood shining in the sun
First, freedom
Speeding the American claim
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
China was the tempest
Madness overflowed
Lama was a young man
And watched his world in flames
Taking glory down by the edge of clouds
It was a crying shame
Another lost horizon
Tibet the fallen star
Wisdom and compassion crushed
In the land of Shangri-La
But in the land of the Impala
Honey, well, we were lookin' fine
'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings
In 1959
'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings
In 1959
It was the best of times, it's the worst of times
In 1959, 1959, 1959, 1959, 1959, 1959
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
1959
Listen to my story
Got two tales to tell
One of fallen glory

Holy the jazz bands, marijuana
Hipsters, peace and junk and dreams
Holy the solitudes of skyscrapers and pavements
Holy the cafeterias filled with the millions
Holy the mysterious rivers of tears under the streets
Holy the lone juggernaut, holy the vast lamb of the middle class
Holy the crazy shepherds of rebellion
Who digs Los Angeles is Los Angeles

Holy Peoria and Seattle, holy Paris
Holy Tangiers, holy Moscow, holy Istanbul
Holy time in eternity, body, holy eternity in time
Holy the clocks in space, holy the fourth dimension

Holy holy holy holy holy
Holy holy holy holy holy

5 "Dead City"
This dead city
Longs to be
This dead city
Longs to be free
Seven screamin' horses
Melt down in the sun
Buildin' scenes on empty dreams
And smokin' them one by one
Hee haa
The dead city
Longs to be, yea, yea
This dead city, yea
Longs to be livin', ohh
Is it any wonder
There's squalor in the sun?
With their broken schemes and their lotteries
They never get nowhere
Haa haa
Is it any wonder
They're spittin' at the sun?
God's parasites in abandoned sites
And they never have much fun
Yeah
Haa
You don't need me?
You don't need me?
Yea I
You don't need me?
Well
Mika I'll take you [incomprehensible]
You know, you just try
If I was a blind man
Would you see for me?
Or would you confuse the nature of my blues
And refuse a hand to me
Or is it any wonder
Cryin' in the sun?
Is it any wonder
I'm cryin' in the sun?
Well I built my dreams on your empty scenes
Now I'm burnin' them one by one
Haa hmm
Oh this a damn city
Oh this a dead city
Immortal city
Motor city
Success city
Longs to be
Longs to be
Longs to be
Free
Free
Free
This dead city
Longs to be
This dead city

6 "Blue Poles"
Mother, as I write, the sun dissolves
Blood life streaming, 'cross my hand
And these words, these words
Hope dashed immortal hope
Hope streaking the canvas sky
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write
We joined the long caravan
Hungry, dreaming, going west
Just for work, just to get a job
And we never got lucky
We just forged on, and the dust
The endless dust, like a plague
It covered everything
Hal fell, with the fever
And mother I did, what I could
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write
We prayed, we prayed for rain
I never wanted, to see the sun again
All my dresses, you made by hand
We left behind, on the road,
Hal died, in my arms
We buried him, by the river
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write, I write
Mother, as I write, the sun dissolves
Blood life streaming, 'cross my hand
And these words, these words

8 "Memento Mori"
Patti Smith
Peace and Noise
Memento Mori
the fans were whirlin'
like the blades of a 'copter
liftin' into the skies above some foreign land
soaked with the bodies of so many friends.
Johnny waved
he was on his way home
he waved goodbye to his comrades in arms,
and all the twisted things he'd seen.
he waved goodbye
and the blades hit
something
maybe just Fate, but the blades hit
the 'copter went up in flames
and Johnny never went marchin' home
Johnny never went marchin' home
they took his name
and they carved it on a slab of marble
with several thousand other names
all the fallen idols
the apples of their mother's eye
just another name
meanwhile
back on that burning shore
Johnny's comrades stood speechless
they looked with uh-uh-uh-uh disbelieving eyes
as those bits of metal and the embers
the embers of his eyes
fanned out into the air
black dust
flames
oh Johnny! some day they'll make a movie about you
and in the making of that movie
some mad apocalypse
it will become even stranger than the simple act
just a boy going up up up
just a boy going up
in flames in the smoke
just another life
just another breath
and who'll remember
oh eternity now
as eternal as a sheet of marble
eternal as a slab on a green hill
and your name
and all your fallen brothers
and all the ones not cut
all the ones remembered only in the hearts
a mother a father a brother a sister a lover a son a daughter
shall not shall not fade shall not fade
your ancestors salute you
and the gods of your ancestors salute you
having having been formed by the minds of your ancestors
the gods of your ancestors salute you
having been formed by your ancestors
the gods of your ancestors salute you
they draw you in they draw you through
they draw they draw you through that golden door
mornin' boy [come on in boy]
we remember you
we conceived of you
we conceived of your breath
we conceived of the whole human race
and we conceived it to be a beautiful thing
like a tulip bending in the wind
sometimes it comes back to us
in the form of a handful of dust
comes back in the form of a smitten child
our raped daughters, ah the broken bones
souls cleaved from hearts
they come back to us
and our hands are filled with their rotting tissues
but we turn not our backs
we press our lips
into their cancer into the dust into the remains of each one
and that love is there and will greet you, will greet you
mornin' boy [come on in boy]
it's eternal love
well here, go ahead, run through that flame
awww man, running through your mind
you took a cat, you took a life, you took it by the tail
and you swirled it around your head
and you thrashed it, you smashed the life out of it
and you knew that it would be your own
but you wanted to feel, you wanted to feel it die
because you know you would feel your own
you would feel your own
but you're remembered!
you're remembered!
you're remembered DEAD!
you're remembered DEAD!
you're remembered DEAD!
we remember
we remember
we remember
everything
everything

9 "Last Call"
In a mansion high the young man stood
Ready to join his companions good
Outside the scent of Magnolia blossoms
Down streets of gold the children were racin'
Just another wandering soul
Adrift among the stars
Just another human heart
Led, led away
He put his shoes on and he laid down
(Led, led away)
Outside the clouds were swiftly gathering
(Don't be led away)
He drained his cup and his stirred the mixture
(Led, led away)
And he closed his eyes as his conscience whispered
(Don't be led away)
Just another wandering soul
Adrift among the stars
Just another human heart
Led, led away
Misgivings unspoken he joined his companions
(Led, led away)
His face covered over in a mansion high
(Don't be led away)
Outside the children gazed in wonder
(Led, led away)
At the quickening sky then slowly disbanded
(Don't be led away)
Thirty-nine wandering souls
Adrift among the stars
Thirty-nine human hearts
Led, led away
His burning skin cooled by angels
Swallowing sorrows excretion
It's all excretion
(Don't be led away)
(Led, led away)
Felled by his hand for the mind of another man
(Don't be led away)
Who makes the decisions
Lends no provisions for mere eternal rides
(Led, led away)
(Don't be led away)
Learning of course every alien force
(Don't be led away)
Even Christ yearns to be to possess the skin
(Led, led away)
And bones of man the blood of man
(Don't be led away)
Who tends the flock who breaks the bread
(Don't be led away)
(Led, led away)
Who makes his own choices, won't listen to voices
(Don't be led away)
Accept no false teachers, false preachers, good deeders
(Don't be led away)
(Led, led away)
With their hands out stretched to be filled with your money
(Don't be led away)
Your flesh, your breath, your imagination
(Don't be led away)
(Led, led away)
Sympathy, empathy
(Don't be led away)
Acknowledge all man as fellow creation
(Don't be led away)
(Led, led away)
But don't follow him
(Don't be led away)
Don't be led away
Don't be led away
(Led, led away)
Don't be led away
(Led, led away)
Don't be led away
Don't be led away
Don't be led away
In a mansion high the young man stood
Ready to join his companions good
Outside the scent of Magnolia blossoms

10 "Don`t Say Nothing"
Lower the thing, skin the cat
Skin it left, just layin' there
Lower the thing, is left like that
And you set, set it, said it, said nothin'
Went to the party, very discouraged
I watched the litter, pile like a wall
I looked at the river, just couldn't forgive it
Was, it was ladened with all kinds of shit
Still I admit that I didn't say nothing
I turned my back, walked away
Got to face the fact, that I didn't say nothing
Everyone was dancing, I stood over in the corner
This band, aah, they were sayin' this and sayin' that an'
Putting this one down an' but nothin' was delivered
Nothin', nothin' good was comin', I just saw, I just stood there
I couldn't believe it but I couldn't say nothin'
I walked the floor, then I looked away
Got to, got to face the fact, that I didn't say nothing
How long, how long will we make do?
Maybe it's time to break on through
Gonna, gonna, gonna straighten up
Gonna, gonna get well, I'm gonna do something
I'll give it back, gonna face the fact
Gonna, gonna give it back, an' I'm gonna do something
Won't hold my tongue, won't hold the thought
Won't hold the card, well, I'm gonna do something
Oh my brain I got to complain
Well, you can complain, but I'm gonna do something
How long, how long, will we make do?
Maybe it's time to break on through
Out in the desert, oh I saw, saw that ol' cat skinned
I saw it floating in the river
I saw an' no one seemed to mind
They sat there, they sat there watching the sun
I saw it float away, then I watched the buildings crumble
Like dust in the hand an' we watched the sun
Spread its wings an' fly away
And in the mountains, a cry echoes
Don't say nothin'
Don't say nothin'
Don't say nothin'
...
Lower the thing, skin the cat
Skin it left, just layin' there
Lower the thing, is left like that
