I was caught in the headlights of your difficult days
Hanging onto the beacon of the radio waves
You don't know the number of nights
I would drink from the dawn to the day
Wake me up in the middle of a terrible dream
You start looking like someone who's been lying to me
You don't know the number of nights
I was drunk from your house to the sea
Oh, every everything
You're every everything
Take me out the the country, let me breathe in that air
Take me home to your family and abandon me there
And I don't know the way that you went
But I know that I have to go there
Oh, every everything
You're every everything
The week begins
A letter from the Promised Land
A handshake from a former friends
And once or twice
I've thought about that kind of life
Another working day, boys
Up the line in Nova Scotia
Something better
Almost there now
Nova Scotia
And we could sleep
Another night where snow is deep
You're just as scared as I would be
Or we could leave
For the biggest place we've ever seen
Or just a state of mind I'm in
Up the line in Nova Scotia
Something better
Almost there now
Nova Scotia
I wish I had
The kind of nerve that this demands
To get up and get out again
I know that I
Will understand, but until then
Another nervous day, boys
Another nervous day, boy
Up the line in Nova Scotia
Something better
Almost there now

They were lining up the legions
What started as a problem
Run out of questions

The Moon Song
The Barricades
Down at the barricades
Bussed into the clinics
The sacred paper brigade
Here he comes, the holy roller
His voice is rising to a roar
Out at the congregation
Chained to the door
They get the message of the powers that will be
One girl's crisis is another girl's luxury
That's the way they want it
That's the way it seems
But the way they want it's not the only way
The way that it could be
Set off with a spark
Now it keep a woman hanging
By a question mark
Outside the pavilion
The line's getting long
Might not have the answers
Might not be so wrong
In the middle of the ticker-tape headache
One girl's privilege is another girl's misery
I know this is treason and
So that's what I'll be
I'll never stop talking if
If you listen to me
And places to hide
Better run for the high ground
Gonna run out of time
That's the way they want it
That's the way it seems
But the way they want it's not the only way
The way that it could beNew World Song

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me around
I feel numb, burn with a weak heart
Guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing
I got plenty of time
You got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight
Home, is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from the other
I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I'll be, where I'll be
We drift in and out
Sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
And share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up
Eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head
