Morning StarshipVer letra

[X]
letra de Morning Starship
Who was that sneaking up the stairs?
Taking a hairpin from her hair
Vision of the locks fallin' down
Crossed my mind and played with the sound
Of tapping, gentle tapping at my morning starship

The crystal glint of the turning glass
The creaking sound of the rusted latch
As she slowly opened the door
The darkness told me nothing more
Except, she said that she was near my morning starship

She stood within the threshold silently
A ray of moonlight caught her eye
Without a word she said: Could I come in?
And I said: Well, you're in already
You might as well sit down and stay awhile

She made her way across the room
Her golden hair eclipsed the moon
The perfect head framed in silver blue
Found its way to mine and then I knew
The girl, the girl, the girl had flown my morning starship

She's gone away, what can I do?
She took the key she's got the clue
Mysteries unfold with the latch
What she knows I'll never forget
The girl, the girl, the girl has flown my morning starship
Yeah, she's travelled with me now in my morning starship
Oh boom boom boom, morning starship
Don't Interrupt The Sorrow
Only A Pawn In Their GameVer letra

[X]
letra de Only A Pawn In Their Game
A bullet from the back of a bush
Took Medgar Evers' blood
The finger fired the trigger to his name
The handle hid out in the dark
The hand set the spark
Behind a man's brain
But he can't be blamed
He's only a pawn in their game

The south politician preaches to the poor white man
You got more than the blacks, don't complain
You're better than them
You been born with white skin, they explain
And the negro's name
Is used it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game

The deputy, sheriffs, the soldiers
The governors get paid
And the marshals and cops get the same
But the poor white man's used
In the hands of them all like a tool
He's taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
'Bout the shape that he's in
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game

From the poverty shacks
He looks from the cracks to the tracks
And the hoof beats pound in his brain
And he's taught how to walk in a pack
Shoot in the back
With his fist in a clinch
To hang and to lynch
To hide 'neath the hood
To kill with no pain
Like a dog on a chain
He ain't got no name
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game

Today, Medgar Evers was buried
From the bullet he caught
They lowered him down as a king
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He'll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
His epitaph plain
Only a pawn in their game
Suffer The Little ChildrenVer letra

letra de Suffer The Little Children
School bell go
Ding! Dong! Ding!
The children all line up
They do what they are told
Take a little drink from the liar's cup

Mama she don't really care
If what they learn is true
Or if what they learn is lies
Just get them through the factories
Into production
Oh get them into line

Late in the afternoon
The children all come home
They mind their manners well
Their little lives are all laid out

Mama she don't seem to care
If she may break their hearts
She clips their wings off
They never learn to fly
Oh poor mama needs a source of pride
A doctor son she'll have
No matter what the cost
To manhood or to soul

Sun shine down, brightly shine
Down on all the land
Shine down on the newborn lambs
A butcher's knife is in his hand

Mama, she keeps them unprepared
To meet the enemy
So coming unto all
Teach them that evil dwells
Across the sea or lives in a mountain
Like they see on TV

It's down in the heart of town
The devil dresses up
He keeps his nails clean
What? Did you think he'd be
A boogeyman?

Poor mama's stuck with sagging dreams
She'll sell a son or two
Into some slavery
That's lucrative and fine
Just teach them not to criticize
Say yes to bosses, impress the clients
Ah teachers of the world
Teach them to fake it well

School bell go
Ding! Dong! Ding!
The children all line up
They do what they are told
Take a little drink from the liar's cup
Days Of DecisionVer letra

[X]
letra de Days Of Decision
The shadows of doubt are in many a mind
Looking for an answer
They're never gonna find
But please understand
You're running out of time
For these are the days of decision

Games of stalling you cannot afford
Dark is the danger that's knocking on the door
And the far-reaching rockets say
You can't reach anymore
For these are the days of decision

In the face of the people
Who know they're gonna win
With a strength greater than the power od the wind
You can't stand around
When the ice is growing thin
For these are the days of decision

The mobs of anger are roaming the street
Aiming down at the police on the beat
In town after town you know they will repeat
For these are the days

Now there's warnin's of fire and flood
And there's the warning of
The bullet and the blood
From the three bodies
Buried in the Mississippi mud
Humm, decision

There's a change in the wind
And a split in the road
Do what's right
Or you can do what you are told
The prize to be won will be held up by the bold
Yes, these are the days of decision
Oh these are the days of decision
It's Over
Wedding Bell BluesVer letra

letra de Wedding Bell Blues
Oh Bill
I love you so
I always will
I look at you and I see
The passion eyes of May
Oh, but am I ever gonna see
My wedding day?

Oh, I was on your side, Bill
When you were losing
I'd never scheme or lie, Bill
There'd be no fooling
But kisses and love
Won't carry me
Till you marry me, Bill

I love you so
I always will
And in your voice I hear
A choir of carousels (carousels)
Oh, but am I ever gonna hear
My wedding bells?

I was the one who came running
When you were lonely (when you were lonely)
I have not lived one day not
Loving you only (loving you only)
But kisses and love
Won't carry me
Untill you marry me, Bill

I love you so
I always will
And though devotion rules my heart
I take no bows (take no bows)

Oh but am I ever gonna make
Those wedding vows?
Oh come on, Bill (come on, Bill)
Oh come on, Bill (come on, Bill)
Loneliness Remembers What Happiness ForgetsVer letra

[X]
letra de Loneliness Remembers What Happiness Forgets
Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
I had to lose you to recall
Life's not really all sunshine and laughter

Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
And when you fall in love too fast
Sunshine doesn't last forever
After whenever a drop of rain
First came the pleasure
And then the pain

We were the talk of the town
Ask anybody around
They'll let you know
We were the fire that lit the stars
No other love was as bright as ours
And everything's turning around
Gone is the love I have found
You went away
Now I'm alone

Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
And when you fall in love too fast
The sunshine doesn't last forever
After whenever a drop of rain
First came the pleasure
And then came
All the pain

letra de Lady Willpower
Lady Willpower
It's now or never
Give your love to me
And I'll shower your heart
With tenderness endlessly

I know you want to see me
But you're afraid
Of what I might have on my mind
One thing you can be sure of
I'll take good care of your love
If you will let me give you mine

Lady Willpower
It's now or never
Give your love to me
And I'll shower your heart
With tenderness endlessly

Did noone ever tell you
The facts of life?
There is so much you have to learn
And I would gladly show you
If I could only know you
And get your love in return

Lady Willpower
It's now or never
Give your love to me
And I'll shower your heart
With tenderness endlessly
When You Close Your EyesVer letra

letra de When You Close Your Eyes
When you close your eyes
Do you see white Lorelei?
She's a dream
She's not half as magic as she seems
But she's so much fun to be with

When you close your eyes
Do you see places that you've never seen?
Yet you've been there
You've been walking on the edges of a dream
And you're so much fun to be with

Big surprise
You've been informed you're not asleep
Hard as you try
You were never really meant to weep

When you close your door
With a sign: Do not disturb
You must be disturbed to find
That it's just as magic as it seems
And you're so much fun to be with

Some Say I Got DevilVer letra

[X]
letra de Some Say I Got Devil
Some say I got devil
Some say I got angel
I'm just someone in trouble
I don't think I'm in danger
Don't think I'm in danger
I know I'm not in danger
Some have tried to sell me
All kinds of things to save me from
Hurting like a woman
And crying like a baby
Something like a woman
Crying like a baby

And all the things that I have seen
Qualify me for a part in your dreams
Qualify me for this dream

And though I'd like to tell you
Exactly how I feel it
Somehow the music
Hides it and conceals it
Hides it and conceals it
Oh, it hides

And all the things that I have seen
Can be hidden in a part of my dream
Gonna hide it in this dream

Some say I got devil
Some say I'm angel
I'm just someone in trouble
I don't think I'm in danger
Don't think I'm in danger
In fact I know I'm not in danger
