  3. The Kids4:26

    Letra

    They're taking her children away Because they said she was not a good mother They're taking her children away Because she was making it with sisters and brothers And everyone else, all of the others Like cheap officers who would stand there and flirt in front of me They're taking her children away Because they said she was not a good mother They're taking her children away Because of the things that they heard she had done The black Air Force sergeant was not the first one And all of the drugs she took, every one, every one And I am the Water Boy, the real game's not over here But my heart is overflowin' anyway I'm just a tired man, no words to say But since she lost her daughter It's her eyes that fill with water And I am much happier this way They're taking her children away Because they said she was not a good mother They're taking her children away Because number on was the girl friend from Paris The things that they did - ah - they didn't have to ask us And then the Welshman from India, who came here to stay They're taking her children away Because they said she was not a good mother They're taking her children away Because of the things she did in the streets In the alleys and bars, no she couldn't be beat That miserable rotten slut couldn't turn anyone away I am the Water Boy, the real game's not over here But my heart is overflowin' anyway I'm just a tired man, no words to say But since she lost her daughter It's her eyes that fill with water And I am much happier this way

  12. Riptide4:13

    Letra

    She's out of her mind like the wind in the storm Oh, like the ocean in the dawn as it disappears, with the riptide She's out of her mind she's pulled away by the moon She's ripped from her sleep as the cold luna sweep gains control Ooohhh, what you gonna do with your emotions Ah, ones you barely recognize In your sleep I heard your screaming, ooohhh "This is not voluntary! This is not voluntary! If this is life I'd rather die!" In the riptide, in the riptide She's out of her mind, riptide like a muscle that swells You know when you trip whether you're well or sick, your body aches She's out with the tide gone to a prisoner's dance Where a monkey's her date eating limbs off a plate with a spoon Ooohhh, what you gonna do with your emotions said the seagull to the loon What you gonna do with your emotions She said "Please wake me up" She said "Don't touch me now" She said "I wish I was dead" With the riptide She's out of her mind riptide, you always win It happens over and over again riptide She's out of her mind like a hurricane's rain She does not stand a chance at this luna dance, riptide I was thinking of Van Gogh's last painting the wheatfields and the crows Is that perhaps what you've been feeling When you see the ground as you fall from the shy As the floors disappears from beneath your feet riptide She's going out of her mind out with the tide out of her mind riptide She's going out of her mind with the riptide She's going out of her mind ah, riptide

  15. Dirty Blvd.6:06

    Letra

    Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel He looks out a window without glass And the walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet And his father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg He's got 9 brothers and sisters They're brought up on their knees It's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man But that's a slim chance He's going to the boulevard He's gonna end up on the dirty boulevard He's going out to the dirty boulevard He's going down to the dirty boulevard This room cost $2,000 a month You can believe it, man, it's true Somewhere there's a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll piss on 'em That's what the Statue of Bigotry says Your poor huddled masses Let's club 'em to death And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard Get 'em out on the dirty boulevard Goin' out to the dirty boulevard They're going down on the dirty boulevard Goin' out Outside it's a bright night There's an opera at Lincoln Center Movie stars arrive by limousine The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan But the lights are out on the mean streets A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel He's selling plastic roses for a buck The traffic's backed up to 39th Street The TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck And back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming He's found a book on Magic in a garbage can He looks at the pictures And stares up at the cracked ceiling "At the count of 3," he says, "I hope I can disappear." And fly, fly away from this dirty boulevard I want to fly from the dirty boulevard I want to fly from the dirty boulevard I want to fly-fly-fly-fly from the dirty boulevard I want to fly away I want to fly Fly, fly away I want to fly Fly, fly away Fly, fly away Fly, fly away Fly, fly away I want to fly
