3. Fodder On My Wings

   Letra

   A bird fell to earth, reincarnated from her birth. She had fodder in her wings. She had dust inside her brains. She flitted here and there United States, Switzerland, France, England, everywhere. With fodder in her wings. And dust inside her brains. Oh how sad. Oh how sad. Oh how sad. She watched the people, how they live. They've forgotten how to give. They had fodder in they're brains. They had dust inside they're wings. She watched them how they tried to live. They've forgotten how to give. They had fodder in they're wings. They had dust inside they're brains. Oh how sad. Oh how sad. Oh how sad. A bird fell to earth, reincarnated from her birth. She had fodder in her wings. She had dust inside her brains. She flitted here and there United States, Switzerland, France, England, everywhere. With fodder in her wings. And dust inside her brains. Oh how sad. Oh how sad. Oh how sad. She watched the people, how they live. They've forgotten how to give. They had fodder in they're brains. They had dust inside they're wings. She watched them how they tried to live. They've forgotten how to give. They had fodder in they're wings. They had dust inside they're brains.

5. Just Like A Woman3:38

   Letra

   I take just like a woman Yes I do And I make love just like a woman and I ache just like a woman but I break like a little girl Nobody here feels any pain tonight as I stand inside the rain And no one has to guess that baby's got new clothes Lately I see her ribbons and her bows and the problems from her curls [REFRAIN] I take just like a woman... It was raining from the first and I was dying her of thirst That's why I came here and a long time's curse and what's worse is this pain in here I can't stay in here Ain't it clear Ain't it clear I must admit I believe it's time for me to quit And until we meet again bein' introduced as friends please don't let on that you knew me when I was hungry and it was your world [REFRAIN] I take just like a woman.... [Original lyrics] Nobody feels any pain Tonight as I stand here in the rain. Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes, But lately I see her ribbons and her bows Have fallen from her curls. She takes just like a woman. She makes love just like a woman. And then she aches just like a woman. But she breaks just like a little girl. Queen Mary, she's my friend. Yes I believe I'll go see her again. Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed 'Till she finally sees that she's like all the rest With her fog, her amphetamines, and her pearls. She takes just like a woman. She makes love just like a woman. And then she aches just like a woman. But she breaks just like a little girl. [Break:] It raining at first, and I was dying there of thirst, So I came in here. And your long-time curse hurts, but what's worse Is this pain in here. I can't stay in here. Ain't it clear... That I just can't fit. I believe it's time for us to quit. But when we met again and are introduced as friends, Please don't let on that you knew me when I was hungry, and it was your world. You take just like a woman. You make love just like a woman. And then you ache just like a woman. But you break just like a little girl.

7. Stars4:31

   Letra

   I was never one for singing what I really feel Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze And all you see is glory Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share We can shake it away, if you'll hear a story People lust for fame like athletes in a game, we break our collarbones and come up swinging, some of us are downed some of us are crowned, and some are lost and never found But most have seen it all, they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls They always come up singing Some make it when they're young, before the world has done its dirty job and later on someone will say "You've had your day, now you must make way" But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned or the many years forgetting what you know too well That the ones who gave the crown have been let down You try to make amends without defending Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five that follow as you walk and ask for autographs Or kiss you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you Some make it when they're old (Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare or perhaps there's nothing there) Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze And all you see is glory But most have seen it all, they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls They always have a story Some women have a body men will want to see and so they put it on display Some people play a fine guitar, I could listen to them play all day Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance I guess I could learn how, if I gave it half a chance But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord I guess there isn't anything to put up on display Except the tunes, and whatever else I say But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day Stars, they come and go, they're coming fast they come slow They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze And all you see is glory But most have seen it all, who live their lives in sad cafes and music halls And we always have a story So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around I'll come up singing for you, even when I'm down

    Letra

    My skin is black My arms are long My hair is woolly My back is strong Strong enough to take the pain inflicted again and again What do they call me My name is AUNT SARAH My name is Aunt Sarah My skin is yellow My hair is long Between two worlds I do belong My father was rich and white He forced my mother late one night What do they call me My name is SAFFRONIA My name is Saffronia My skin is tan My hair is fine My hips invite you my mouth like wine Whose little girl am I?

12. Baltimore4:42

    Letra

    Beat-up little seagull On a marble stair Tryin' to find the ocean Lookin' everywhere Hard times in the city In a hard town by the sea Ain't nowhere to run to There ain't nothin' here for free Hooker on the corner Waiting for a train Drunk lying on the sidewalk Sleeping in the rain And the people hide their faces And they hide their eyes 'Cause the city's dyin' And they don't know why Oh, Baltimore Ain't it hard just to live? Oh, Baltimore Ain't it hard just to live? Just to live Get my sister Sandy And my little brother Ray Buy a big old wagon To haul us all away Live out in the country Where the mountain's high Never gonna come back here Till the day I die Oh, Baltimore Ain't it hard just to live? Oh, Baltimore Ain't it hard just to live? Just to live
