    letra de Getting Ready For Christmas Day

    From early in November to the last week of December

    I got money matters weighing me down

    Oh the music may be merry, but it's only temporary

    I know Santa Claus is coming to town

    In the days I work my day job, in the nights I work my night

    But it all comes down to working man's pay

    Getting ready, I'm getting ready, ready for Christmas Day



    [Reverend Gates:]

    Getting ready for Christmas Day

    And let me tell you, namely, the undertaker, he's getting ready for your body

    Not only that, the jailer he's getting ready for you

    Christmas day. Hmm? And not only the jailer, but the lawyer, the police force

    Now getting ready for Christmas day, and I want you to bear it in mind



    I got a nephew in Iraq it's his third time back

    But it's ending up the way it began

    With the luck of a beginner he'll be eating turkey dinner

    On some mountain top in Pakistan

    Getting ready, oh we're getting ready

    For the power and the glory and the story of the

    Christmas day



    [Reverend Gates:]

    Getting ready, for Christmas day.

    Done made it up in your mind that I'm going, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago.

    I'm going, on a trip, getting ready, for Christmas day.

    But when Christmas come, nobody knows where you'll be.

    You might ask me.

    I may be layin' in some lonesome grave, getting ready, for Christmas day



    Getting ready oh we're getting ready

    For the power and the glory and the story of the

    Christmas day

    Yes we're getting ready



    [Reverend Gates:]

    Getting ready, ready for your prayers,

    "I'm going and see my relatives in a distant land."



    Getting ready, getting ready for Christmas day

    If I could tell my Mom and Dad that the things we never had

    Never mattered we were always okay

    Getting ready, oh ready for Christmas day

    Getting ready oh we're getting ready

    For the power and the glory and the story of the

    Christmas day

  2. The AfterlifeVer letra 3:40

    letra de The Afterlife

    After I died, and the make up had dried, I went back to my place.

    No moon that night, but a heavenly light shone on my face.

    Still I thought it was odd, there was no sign of God just to usher me in.

    Then a voice from above, sugar coated with Love, said, "Let us begin".



    You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.

    You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.



    OK, a new kid in school, got to follow the rule, you got to learn the routine.

    Woah, there's a girl over there, with the sunshiny hair, like a homecomin' queen.

    I said, "Hey, what you say? It's a glorious day, by the way how long you been dead?"

    Maybe you, maybe me, maybe baby makes three, but she just shook her head...



    You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.

    You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.



    Buddah and Moses and all the noses from narrow to flat,

    Had to stand in the line, just to glimpse the divine, what you think about that?

    Well it seems like our fate to suffer and wait for the knowledge we seek.

    It's all his design, no one cuts in the line, no one here likes a sneak



    You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.

    You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.



    After you climb, up the ladder of time, the Lord God is here.

    Face to face, in the vastness of space, your words disappear.

    And you feel like swimming in an ocean of love, and the current is strong.

    But all that remains when you try to explain is a fragment of song...

    Lord is it, Be Bop A Lu La or Ooh Poppa Do

    Lord, Be Bop A Lu La or Ooh Poppa Do

    Be Bop A Lu La

  3. Dazzling BlueVer letra 4:32

    [X]

    letra de Dazzling Blue

    Truth or lie, the silence is revealing

    An empty sky, a hidden mound of stone

    But the CAT scan's eye sees what the heart's concealing

    Now-a-days, when everything is known



    Maybe love's an accident, or destiny is true

    But you and I were born beneath a star of dazzling blue

    Dazzling blue



    Miles apart, though the miles can't measure distance

    Worlds apart on a rainy afternoon

    But the road gets dirty and it offers no resistance

    So turn your amp up and play your lonesome tune

    Maybe love's an accident, or destiny is true

    But you and I were born beneath a star of dazzling blue

    Dazzling blue



    Dazzling blue, roses red, fine white linen

    To make a marriage bed

    And we'll build a wall that nothing can break through

    And dream our dreams of dazzling blue



    Sweet July, and we drove the Montauk Highway

    And walked along the cliffs above the sea

    And we wondered why, and imagined it was someday

    And that is how the future came to be



    Dazzling blue, roses red, fine white linen

    To make a marriage bed

    And we'll build a wall that nothing can break through

    And dream our dreams of dazzling blue

    letra de Rewrite

    I'm workin' on my rewrite, that's right

    Gonna change the ending

    Throw away the title

    Toss it in the trash

    Every minute after midnight

    All the time I'm spending

    Is just for workin'on my rewrite

    Gonna turn it into cash



    I been workin' at the Car Wash

    I consider it my day job

    'Cause it's really not a pay job

    But that's where I am

    Everybody says "The old guy

    Workin'at the Car Wash?"

    Hasn't got a brain cell left

    Since Vietnam



    [Chorus:]

    But I say

    Help me, help me

    Help me, help me

    Thank you!

    I'd no idea

    That you were there



    When I said help me, help me

    Help me, help me

    Thank you

    For listening to my prayer



    I'll eliminate the pages

    Where the father has a breakdown

    And he has to leave the family

    But he really meant no harm

    Gonna substitute a car chase

    And a race across the rooftops

    Where the father saves the children

    And he holds them in his arms



    Yeah I'm workin'on my rewrite, all right

    Gonna change my ending

    Throw away the title

    Toss it in the trash

    Every minute after midnight

    All the Time I'm spending

    Is just for workin'on my rewrite.

    Gonna turn it into cash



    [Chorus:]

    I said

    Help me, help me

    Help me, help me

    Thank you!

    I'd no idea

    That you were there

  5. Love And Hard TimesVer letra 4:09

    [X]

    letra de Love And Hard Times

    God and his only son

    Paid a courtesy call on Earth one Sunday morning

    Orange blossoms opened their fragrant lips

    Songbirds sang from the tips of cotton roots

    Old folks wept

    For his love in these hard times



    'Well, better be going,'

    Said the the restless lord to his son

    'There are galaxies yet to be born

    Creation is never done

    Anyway these people are slobs here

    If we stay it's bound to be a mob scene'

    Disappeared

    And it's just like love in hard times



    I loved her the first time I saw her

    I know that's an old songwriting clich?

    I loved her the first time I saw her

    Can't describe it any other way

    Any other way



    The light of her beauty is warm as a summer day

    Clouds of antelopes roll by

    No hint of rain

    Pale blue sky

    Just love, love, love, love, love



    But the rains came

    The tears burned

    The windows rattled

    The locks turned

    It's easy to be generous when you're owed

    It's hard to be grateful

    When you're out of control



    And love is gone



    The light at the edge of the curtain was the quiet dove

    The bedroom weaves in clicks and clacks

    My heart and my mind will never last

    When your hand takes mine

    Thank god I found you tonight

    Thank god I found you tonight

    Thank god I found you

  6. Love Is Eternal Sacred LightVer letra 4:02

    [X]

    letra de Love Is Eternal Sacred Light

    Love is eternal sacred light

    Free from the shackles of time

    Evil is darkness, sight without sight

    A demon that feeds on the mind



    How'd it all begin? Started with a bang

    Couple of light years later, stars and planets sang

    Fire warmed the cold, waves of colors flew

    Moonlight into gold, earth to green and blue

    Love is eternal sacred light

    Free from the shackles of time

    Evil is darkness, sight without sight

    A demon that feeds on the mind



    Earth becomes a farm

    Farmer takes a wife

    Wife becomes a river and the giver of life

    Man becomes machine

    Oil runs down his face

    Machine becomes a man with a bomb in the marketplace

    Bomb in the marketplace, bomb in the marketplace



    Love is eternal sacred light

    Free from the shackles of time

    Evil is darkness, sight without sight

    A demon that feeds on the mind

    Big Bang

    That's a joke that I made up

    Once when I had eons to kill

    You know, most folks

    They don't get when I'm joking

    Well, maybe someday they will

    Love me

    Love me

    That's the main request I receive

    Well you know I love all my children

    And it tears me up when I leave



    But sometimes you gotta fly down that highway

    Free as a bird, knock on wood, thank the Lord

    I am driving along in my automobile

    It's a brand new pre-owned '96 Ford



    Check out the radio, pop music station

    That don't sound like my music to me

    Talk show host, what's that boy's name?

    Politics is ugly



    At the end of the dial there's the gospel show

    Maybe now I can exit and rest

    There's a blizzard rolling down off the banks of Lake Michigan

    Gonna cover the roads of the icy Midwest



    Love is eternal sacred light

    Free from the shackles of time

    Evil is darkness, sight without sight

    A demon that feeds all the mind

    Love is eternal sacred light

    Love is eternal sacred light

    Love is eternal sacred light

  8. Questions For The AngelsVer letra 3:49

    letra de Questions For The Angels

    A pilgrim on a pilgrimmage

    Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge

    His sneakers torn

    In the hour when the homeless move their cardboard blankets

    And the new day is born



    Folded in his backpack pocket

    The questions that he copied from his heart

    Who Am I in this lonely world?

    Where will I make my bed tonight?

    When twilight turns to dark



    Questions for the angels...

    Who believes in angels?

    Fools do...

    Fools and pilgrims all over the world



    If you shop for Love in a bargain store

    And you don't get what you are bargain for...

    Can you get your money back?

    If an empty train in a railway station

    Calls you to its destination

    Can you choose another track?



    Will I wake up from these violent dreams?

    With my hair as white as the morning moon?



    Questions for the angels...

    Who believes in angels?

    I do...

    Fools and pilgrims all over the world



    Downtown Brooklyn

    The pilgrim is passing a bill-board

    And catches his eyes

    It's Jay-Z

    He's got a kid on each knee

    He is wearing clothes that he wants us to try



    If every human on the planet

    And all the buildings in it

    Should disappear

    Would a zebra grazing in the african savana

    Care enough to share one zebra tear?



    Questions for the angels...

  10. So Beautiful Or So WhatVer letra 4:07

    [X]

    letra de So Beautiful Or So What

    I'm gonna make a chicken gumbo

    Toss some sausage in the pot

    I'm gonna flavor it with okra

    Cayenne pepper to make it hot

    You know life is what we make of it

    So beautiful or so what

    I'm gonna tell my kids a bedtime story

    A play without a plot

    Will it have a happy ending?

    Maybe yes, maybe not

    I tell them life is what you make of it

    So beautiful or so what

    So beautiful, so beautiful

    So what



    I'm just a raindrop in a bucket

    A coin dropped in a slot

    I am an empty house on Weed Street

    Across the road from a vacant lot

    You know life is what you make of it

    So beautiful or so what



    Ain't it strange the way we're ignorant

    How we seek out bad advice

    How we jigger it and figure it

    Mistaking value for the price

    And play a game with time and love

    Like a pair of rolling dice

    So beautiful, so beautiful

    So what



    Four men on the balcony

    Overlooking the parking lot

    Pointing at a figure in the distance

    Dr. King has just been shot

    And the siren's long melody

    Singing savior pass me not



    Ain't it strange the way we're ignorant

    How we seek out bad advice

    How we jigger it and figure it

    Mistaking value for the price

    And play a game with time and love

    Like a pair of rolling dice

    So beautiful, so beautiful

    So beautiful...
