letra de Kansas City Milkman
Born in this place

You only see so far

Hear what we say

If we put the truth in your hands

Would you really like to know

Kansas city milkman

A row of houses

Through the dawn

A sleeping city

Where I was born

I hear laughter

In the early light

Outside the playground

Were I learned to fight

Born in this place

You only see so far

Hear what we say

If we put the truth in your hands

Would you really like to know

Kansas city milkman

I read the papers

Every word

My only access

To the outside world

Yeah ... survival

That's my game

Just a common man

In that there is no shame ... is there? ...

Too much talking

Information ... in the hands of the few

All the talking

Dis-information ... that we take for the truth

Born in this place

You only see so far

Hear what we say

The world is a stage

And we know just who you are

What part do you play?

If we put the truth in your hands

Would you really like to know

Seven DaysVer letra

letra de Seven Days
She was so young and so afraid

Of a world she could not understand

For seven days I held her close

Like a child in the palm of my hand

There were

Seven tears

To wipe away

Seven fears

To keep at bay

Seven words

For me to say

In seven days

The strands of wisdom twist and curl

Soft flame in the warmth of my heart

Oh essential words that lightly fall

Like snow thru the mist of her thought

The gentle rain of innocence

That flows from her ebony eyes

Another secret moment shared

To be part of the rest of our lives

There were

Seven dreams

To live for real

Seven streams

Of hope revealed

Seven ways

Of love to feel

In seven days

We are the only ones who know

Her smile was poetry

Her soul she showed it to me

The dawning of the seventh day

Saw her shine like the radiant skies

I knew that she would leave me then

Bright hope in her ebony eyes

(and now) I watch her dance before the world

Soft flame in the movements she makes

And all those secret moments shared

Stay warm in my thoughts everyday

Remembering

Seven tears

Wiped away

Seven fears

Kept at bay

Seven words

You heard me say

Seven dreams

To live and play

Seven streams

Of hope revealed

Seven waves

Of love we feel

Seven days

Memory of seven days
Hot WaterVer letra

letra de Hot Water
Tell me something

Why do I always find it hard

Just to get along

Try my best for nothing

Every little thing I do is wrong

Feel it in my brain

Driving me insane

Round and round

The same old tune

Daddy's on the phone

You know you're not alone

Turn that down

And clean up your room

Sons and daughters

(Don't fall in)

In hot water

Sons and daughters

(They don't do)

What they oughta

Tell (tell) you something

Music is the key to set me free

To the beat (on the street) I'm jumping

Forgetting all the things they said 'bout me

Here it comes again

Chugging like a train

Round and round

An impeccable groove

I know it's getting late

But I won't hesitate

Can't slow down

Got to do what I do

Sons and daughters

(Always in)

In hot water

Wasting time

Is a crime in their eyes

But I'm still young

So much time to decide what to do

I don't need confirmation

For my boyhood extrapolation

Though I'm not sure of my direction

I have the groove for my protection

Here it comes again

Chugging like a train

Round and round

An impeccable groove

I know it's getting late

But I won't hesitate

Can't slow down

Got to do what I do

Sons and daughters

(Don't fall in)

In hot water

(When they fall by the way)

Sons and daughters

(They don't do)

What they oughta

Tell me something

Where you staying tonight

Your folks

Have waited up for you

Now they've locked the door

And turned off the light

True BelieversVer letra

letra de True Believers
Stuck inside my harvard box

Behind the door the bauhaus locked

I'm wrestling with a new ideal

I'm working out the way I feel

I just came back from Cultureburg

Where I tried to learn the painted word

People there were so convinced

It's kept me thinking ever since

Crazy, but true

I want to believe like you

"come with me", the teacher said

"no side-to-side, look straight ahead

'cause if you want true confidence

You'd best forget your common sense.

Go find yourself a point of view

And if you need some help to choose

Just dance the dance named after me

If you believe then you will see"

Crazy, but true

Now I believe in you

There was a time

When we could make head nor tail of the story

Now it's sublime

And we're not afraid anymore

'cause we're all

True believers

[solo]

So tell me it's true

I want to believe in you

Crazy, but true

I want to believe in you

Blind faith makes such strange demands

Sometimes a think I'll never understand

Answers on a postcard, please

I'd like to know what you believe

True believers ...

Are you

A true believer

(I wanna believe in you)
My HeroVer letra

letra de My Hero
My hero ...

On Baker Street

The limousine stood blacker than the darkest thing

In the rain

Deep in the back

His life was ending

Still they would not let him be

Where is he?

His music ran through the streets of the city

Straight to the heart with each song

The path he chose was a road to freedom

And I kept following on

My hero ...

I heard the news

All my emotions shattered into empty blue

Where are you

The radio like distant thunder raging black rock symphonies

Storm heart tears

His music runs through the heart of the city

His sound is heard in each song

You never found where his road was leading

The hope you gave lingers on

My hero ...

The brightest stars explode into a thousand moons

[solo]

His music runs through the heart of the city

The sound he made is too strong

His name remains part of my emotions

The memories linger on

My hero ...

letra de Hours by the Window
Day and night

By the window

Of my mind

There you are

In the courtyard

One last time

The singing of a famous song I've never heard before

A man without a shadow slowly walking past my door

My mind projects a face soon to be free of misery

The chiming of some distant bell that echoes in my heart

A dance upon the flagstones to the music of the stars

A mother's name that lingers on a soothing summer's breeze

All alone I said no prayers today

I couldn't kneel to please the god that failed you

Now you're gone I'll sit and spend each day

Hours by the window

Morning comes

To my rescue

Once again

Whispers in the corridor and footsteps in the hall

My only point of reference now the sunlight on the wall

It draws me to the window where my dreams are memories

A step beyond the line where sunken eyes avert their gaze

An endless tract of time reveals a thousand silent ways

All searching for an answer to life's deepest mysteries

On the ocean of pure time I sail away

I go and these four walls will not contain me

Maybe there I'll see your face again

Hours by the window

All alone I said no prayers today

I couldn't kneel to please the god that failed you

What I'd give to see your face again

Hours by the window
