    letra de Dance Me To The End Of Love

    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
    Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
    Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
    Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
    Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
    We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
    Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
    Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
    Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love

  2. The FutureVer letra 7:21

    [X]

    letra de The Future

    Give me back my broken night
    My mirrored room, my secret life
    It's lonely here,
    There's no one left to torture
    Give me absolute control
    Over every living soul
    And lie beside me, baby,
    That's an order!
    Give me crack and anal sex
    Take the only tree that's left
    And stuff it up the hole
    In your culture
    Give me back the berlin wall
    Give me stalin and st paul
    I've seen the future, brother
    It is murder.
    Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
    Won't be nothing
    Nothing you can measure anymore
    The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
    Has crossed the threshold
    And it has overturned
    The order of the soul
    When they said repent repent
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said repent repent
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said repent repent
    I wonder what they meant
    You don't know me from the wind
    You never will, you never did
    I'm the little jew
    Who wrote the bible
    I've seen the nations rise and fall
    I've heard their stories, heard them all
    But love's the only engine of survival
    Your servant here, he has been told
    To say it clear, to say it cold:
    It's over, it ain't going
    Any further
    And now the wheels of heaven stop
    You feel the devil's riding crop
    Get ready for the future:
    It is murder.
    Things are going to slide
    There'll be the breaking of the ancient
    Western code
    Your private life will suddenly explode
    There'll be phantoms
    There'll be fires on the road
    And the white man dancing
    You'll see a woman
    Hanging upside down
    Her features covered by her fallen gown
    And all the lousy little poets
    Coming round
    Tryin' to sound like charlie manson
    And the white man dancin'
    Give me back the berlin wall
    Give me stalin and st paul
    Give me christ
    Or give me hiroshima
    Destroy another fetus now
    We don't like children anyhow
    I've seen the future, baby
    It is murder.
    Things are going to slide
    When they said repent repent

  3. Ain't No Cure For Love 6:17
  4. Bird On The WireVer letra 6:14

    [X]

    letra de Bird On The Wire

    Like a bird on the wire,
    Like a drunk in a midnight choir
    I have tried in my way to be free.
    Like a worm on a hook,
    Like a knight from some old fashioned book
    I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
    If I, if I have been unkind,
    I hope that you can just let it go by.
    If I, if I have been untrue
    I hope you know it was never to you.
    Like a baby, stillborn,
    Like a beast with his horn
    I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
    But I swear by this song
    And by all that I have done wrong
    I will make it all up to thee.
    I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
    He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
    And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
    She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
    Oh like a bird on the wire,
    Like a drunk in a midnight choir have tried in my way to be free.

  5. Everybody KnowsVer letra 5:53

    letra de Everybody Knows

    Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
    Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
    Everybody knows that the war is over
    Everybody knows the good guys lost
    Everybody knows the fight was fixed
    The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows
    Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
    Everybody knows that the captain lied
    Everybody got this broken feeling
    Like their father or their dog just died
    Everybody talking to their pockets
    Everybody wants a box of chocolates
    And a long stem rose
    Everybody knows
    Everybody knows that you love me baby
    Everybody knows that you really do
    Everybody knows that you've been faithful
    Ah give or take a night or two
    Everybody knows you've been discreet
    But there were so many people you just had to meet
    Without your clothes
    And everybody knows
    Everybody knows, everybody knows
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows
    Everybody knows, everybody knows
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows
    And everybody knows that it's now or never
    Everybody knows that it's me or you
    And everybody knows that you live forever
    Ah when you've done a line or two
    Everybody knows the deal is rotten
    Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
    For your ribbons and bows
    And everybody knows
    And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
    Everybody knows that it's moving fast
    Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
    Are just a shining artifact of the past
    Everybody knows the scene is dead
    But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
    That will disclose
    What everybody knows
    And everybody knows that you're in trouble
    Everybody knows what you've been through
    From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
    To the beach of Malibu
    Everybody knows it's coming apart
    Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
    Before it blows
    And everybody knows
    Everybody knows, everybody knows
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows
    Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows
    Everybody knows

  6. In My Secret LifeVer letra 5:03

    letra de In My Secret Life

    I saw you this morning.
    You were moving so fast.
    Can't seem to loosen my grip
    On the past.
    And I miss you so much.
    There's no one in sight.
    And we're still making love
    In My Secret Life.
    I smile when I'm angry.
    I cheat and I lie.
    I do what I have to do
    To get by.
    But I know what is wrong,
    And I know what is right.
    And I'd die for the truth
    In My Secret Life.
    Hold on, hold on, my brother.
    My sister, hold on tight.
    I finally got my orders.
    I'll be marching through the morning,
    Marching through the night,
    Moving cross the borders
    Of My Secret Life.
    Looked through the paper.
    Makes you want to cry.
    Nobody cares if the people
    Live or die.
    And the dealer wants you thinking
    That it's either black or white.
    Thank G-d it's not that simple
    In My Secret Life.
    I bite my lip.
    I buy what I'm told:
    From the latest hit,
    To the wisdom of old.
    But I'm always alone.
    And my heart is like ice.
    And it's crowded and cold
    In My Secret Life.

  7. Who By FireVer letra 6:35

    [X]

    letra de Who By Fire

    And who by fire, who by water,
    Who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
    Who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
    Who in your merry merry month of may,
    Who by very slow decay,
    And who shall I say is calling?
    And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
    Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
    And who by avalanche, who by powder,
    Who for his greed, who for his hunger,
    And who shall I say is calling?
    And who by brave assent, who by accident,
    Who in solitude, who in this mirror,
    Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
    Who in mortal chains, who in power,
    And who shall I say is calling?

  9. AnthemVer letra 7:20

    [X]

    letra de Anthem

    The birds they sang
    At the break of day
    Start again
    I heard them say
    Don't dwell on what
    Has passed away
    Or what is yet to be.
    Ah the wars they will
    Be fought again
    The holy dove
    She will be caught again
    Bought and sold
    And bought again
    The dove is never free.
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in.
    We asked for signs
    The signs were sent
    The birth betrayed
    The marriage spent
    Yeah the widowhood
    Of every government
    Signs for all to see.
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud.
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    And they're going to hear from me.
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    You can add up the parts
    But you won't have the sum
    You can strike up the march,
    There is no drum
    Every heart, every heart
    To love will come
    But like a refugee.
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack, a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in.
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack, a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in.
    That's how the light gets in.
    That's how the light gets in.

    letra de Tower Of Song

    Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
    I ache in the places where I used to play
    And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
    I'm just paying my rent every day
    Oh in the Tower of Song
    I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?
    Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
    But I hear him coughing all night long
    A hundred floors above me
    In the Tower of Song
    I was born like this, I had no choice
    I was born with the gift of a golden voice
    And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
    They tied me to this table right here
    In the Tower of Song
    So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
    I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
    I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
    Ah they don't let a woman kill you
    Not in the Tower of Song
    Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure
    The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
    And there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong
    You see, you hear these funny voices
    In the Tower of Song
    I see you standing on the other side
    I don't know how the river got so wide
    I loved you baby, way back when
    And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
    But I feel so close to everything that we lost
    We'll never have to lose it again
    Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
    There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
    But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone
    I'll be speaking to you sweetly
    From a window in the Tower of Song
    Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is gray
    I ache in the places where I used to play
    And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
    I'm just paying my rent every day
    Oh in the Tower of Song

    [X]

    letra de Suzanne

    Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river,
    You can hear the boats go by you can spend the night beside her,
    And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you wanna be there,
    And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China,
    And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her,
    Then she gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer,
    That you've always been her lover.
    [Chorus]
    And you want to travel with her,
    And you want to travel blind,
    And you know that she will trust you,
    For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
    And Jesus was a sailor when He walked upon the water,
    And He spent a long time watching from His lonely wooden tower,
    And when He knew for certain only drowning men could see him,
    He said "all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them,"
    But He Himself was broken, long before the sky would open
    Forsaken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.
    [Chorus]
    And you want to travel with him,
    And you want to travel blind,
    And you think maybe you'll trust him,
    For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
    Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river,
    She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters,
    And the sun pours down like honey on Our Lady of the Harbour,
    And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers,
    There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning,
    They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever,
    While Suzanne holds the mirror.
    [Chorus]
    And you want to travel with her,
    And you want to travel blind,
    And you know that you can trust her,
    For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

    letra de Boogie Street

    O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
    I never thought we'd meet.
    You kiss my lips, and then it's done
    I'm back on Boogie Street.
    A sip of wine, a cigarette,
    And then it's time to go.
    I tidied up the kitchenette
    I tuned the old banjo.
    I'm wanted at the traffic-jam.
    They're saving me a seat.
    I'm what I am, and what I am,
    Is back on Boogie Street.
    And O my love, I still recall
    The pleasures that we knew
    The rivers and the waterfall,
    Wherein I bathed with you.
    Bewildered by your beauty there,
    I'd kneel to dry your feet.
    By such instructions you prepare
    A man for Boogie Street.
    O Crown of Light, O Darkened Oneâ?¦
    So come, my friends, be not afraid.
    We are so lightly here.
    It is in love that we are made
    In love we disappear.
    Tho' all the maps of blood and flesh
    Are posted on the door,
    There's no one who has told us yet
    What Boogie Street is for.
    O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
    I never thought we'd meet.
    You kiss my lips, and then it's done
    I'm back on Boogie Street.
    A sip of wine, a cigarette,
    And then it's time to go

    letra de Democracy

    It's coming through a hole in the air,
    From those nights in Tiananmen Square.
    It's coming from the feel
    That this ain't exactly real,
    Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
    From the wars against disorder,
    From the sirens night and day,
    From the fires of the homeless,
    From the ashes of the gay:
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
    It's coming through a crack in the wall
    On a visionary flood of alcohol
    From the staggering account
    Of the Sermon on the Mount
    Which I don't pretend to understand at all.
    It's coming from the silence
    On the dock of the bay,
    From the brave, the bold, the battered
    Heart of Chevrolet
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
    It's coming from the sorrow in the street,
    The holy places where the races meet
    From the homicidal bitchin'
    That goes down in every kitchen
    To determine who will serve and who will eat.
    From the wells of disappointment
    Where the women kneel to pray
    For the grace of God in the desert here
    And the desert far away:
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
    Sail on, sail on
    O mighty Ship of State!
    To the Shores of Need
    Past the Reefs of Greed
    Through the Squalls of Hate
    Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.
    It's coming to America first,
    The cradle of the best and of the worst.
    It's here they got the range
    And the machinery for change
    And it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
    It's here the family's broken
    And it's here the lonely say
    That the heart has got to open
    In a fundamental way:
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
    It's coming from the women and the men.
    O baby, we'll be making love again.
    We'll be going down so deep
    The river's going to weep,
    And the mountain's going to shout Amen!
    It's coming like the tidal flood
    Beneath the lunar sway,
    Imperial, mysterious,
    In amorous array
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
    Sail on, sail on
    I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
    I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
    And I'm neither left or right
    I'm just staying home tonight,
    Getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
    But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
    That Time cannot decay,
    I'm junk but I'm still holding up
    This little wild bouquet
    Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

    letra de Take This Waltz

    Now in Vienna there are ten pretty women
    There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry
    There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
    There's a tree where the doves go to die
    There's a piece that was torn from the morning,
    And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws
    I want you, I want you, I want you
    On a chair with a dead magazine
    In the cave at the tip of the lilly,
    In some hallway where love's never been
    On a bed where the moon has been sweating,
    In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    Take its broken waist in your hand
    This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
    With its very own breath of brandy and Death
    Dragging its tail in the sea
    There's a concert hall in Vienna
    Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
    There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
    They've been sentenced to death by the blues
    Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
    With a garland of freshly cut tears?
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    Take this waltz, it's been dying for years
    There's an attic where children are playing,
    Where I've got to lie down with you soon,
    In a dream of Hungarian lanterns,
    In the mist of some sweet afternoon
    And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow,
    All your sheep and your lillies of snow
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    With its "I'll never forget you, you know!"
    This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
    With its very own breath of brandy and Death
    Dragging its tail in the sea
    And I'll dance with you in Vienna
    I'll be wearing a river's disguise
    The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
    My mouth on the dew of your thighs
    And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
    With the photographs there, and the moss
    And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
    My cheap violin and my cross
    And you'll carry me down on your dancing
    To the pools that you lift on your wrist
    O my love, o my love
    Take this waltz, take this waltz
    It's yours now. It's all that there is

    letra de So Long, Marianne

    Come over to the window, my little darling
    I'd like to try to read your palm
    I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
    Before I let you take me home
    Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
    To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
    Well you know that I love to live with you
    But you make me forget so very much
    I forget to pray for the angels
    And then the angels forget to pray for us
    Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
    We met when we were almost young
    Deep in the green lilac park
    You held on to me like I was a crucifix
    As we went kneeling through the dark
    Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
    Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
    Then why do I feel alone?
    I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
    Is fastening my ankle to a stone
    Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
    For now I need your hidden love
    I'm cold as a new razor blade
    You left when I told you I was curious
    I never said that I was brave
    Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
    Oh, you are really such a pretty one
    I see you've gone and changed your name again
    And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
    To wash my eyelids in the rain
    Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began

    letra de First We Take Manhattan

    They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
    For trying to change the system from within
    I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
    I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
    I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
    I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
    I'd really like to live beside you, baby
    I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
    But you see that line there moving through the station?
    I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those
    Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
    You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
    How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
    I don't like your fashion business mister
    And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
    I don't like what happened to my sister
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
    I'd really like to live beside you, baby
    And I thank you for those items that you sent me
    The monkey and the plywood violin
    I practiced every night, now I'm ready
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
    I am guided
    Ah remember me, I used to live for music
    Remember me, I brought your groceries in
    Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

    Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.
    They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on.
    And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song.
    Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long.
    Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control.
    It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul.
    Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned:
    When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.
    Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them.
    They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem.
    If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
    They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
    When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon.
    Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon.
    And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night:
    We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right,
    We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right.

    letra de If It Be Your Will

    If it be your will
    That I speak no more
    And my voice be still
    As it was before
    I will speak no more
    I shall abide until
    I am spoken for
    If it be your will
    If it be your will
    That a voice be true
    From this broken hill
    I will sing to you
    From this broken hill
    All your praises they shall ring
    If it be your will
    To let me sing
    From this broken hill
    All your praises they shall ring
    If it be your will
    To let me sing
    If it be your will
    If there is a choice
    Let the rivers fill
    Let the hills rejoice
    Let your mercy spill
    On all these burning hearts in hell
    If it be your will
    To make us well
    And draw us near
    And bind us tight
    All your children here
    In their rags of light
    In our rags of light
    All dressed to kill
    And end this night
    If it be your will
    If it be your will

    letra de I Tried To Leave You

    I tried to leave you, I don't deny
    I closed the book on us, at least a hundred times.
    I'd wake up every morning by your side.
    The years go by, you lose your pride.
    The baby's crying, so you do not go outside,
    And all your work it's right before your eyes.
    Goodnight, my darling, I hope you're satisfied,
    The bed is kind of narrow, but my arms are open wide.
    And here's a man still working for your smile.
