letra de The Rhythm Of The Heat
Looking out the window

I see the red dust clear

High upon the red rock

Stands the shadow with the spear

The land here is strong

Strong beneath my feet

it feeds on the blood

it feeds on the heat

The rhythm is below me

The rhythm of the heat

The rhythm is around me

The rhythm has control

The rhythm is inside me

The rhythm has my soul

The rhythm of the heat

The rhythm of the heat

The rhythm of the heat

The rhythm of the heat

Drawn across the plainland

To the place that is higher

Drawn into the circle

That dances round the fire

We spit into our hands

And breathe across the palms

Raising them up high

Help open to the sun

Self-conscious, uncertain

I'm showered with the dust

The spirit enters into me

And I submit to trust

Smash the radio

No outside voices here

Smash the watch

Cannot tear the day to shreds

Smash the camera

Cannot steal away the spirits

The rhythm is around me

The rhythm has control

The rhythm is inside me

The rhythm has my soul
San JacintoVer letra 6:34

letra de San Jacinto
Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire

Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - rub on skin

Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun

Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun

Something moving in - I taste it in my mouth and in my heart

It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life

Medicine man lead me up through town - Indian ground - so far down

Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water wings - drink in cool

Follow dry river bed - watch Scout and Guides make pow-wow signs

Past Geronimo's disco - Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse - white men dream

A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top - keep climbing up

Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow

I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through the fear

San Jacinto - I hold the line

San Jacinto - the poison bite and darkness take my sight - I hold the line

And the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think I'm losing it - getting weaker

I hold the line - I hold the line

San Jacinto - yellow eagle flies down from the sun - from the sun

We will walk - on the land

We will breathe - of the air

We will drink - from the stream

We will live - hold the line
I Have The TouchVer letra 4:35

letra de I Have The Touch
The time I like is the rush hour, cos I like the rush

The pushing of the people - I like it all so much

Such a mass of motion - do not know where it goes

I move with the movement and ... I have the touch

I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark

Any chance collision and I light up in the dark

There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair

Oh, do I dare ... I have the touch

Wanting contact

I'm wanting contact

I'm wanting contact with you

Shake those hands, shake those hands

Give me the thing I understand

Shake those hands, shake those hands

Shake those hands, shake those hands

Any social occasion, it's hello, how do you do

All those introductions, I never miss my cue

So before a question, so before a doubt

My hand moves out and ... I have the touch

Wanting contact

I'm wanting contact

I'm wanting contact with you

Shake those hands, shake those hands

Give me the thing I understand

Shake those hands, shake those hands

Pull my chin, stroke my hair, scratch my nose, hug my knees

Try drink, food, cigarette, tension will not ease

I tap my fingers, fold my arms, breathe in deep, cross my legs

Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back - but nothing seems

to please

I need contact

I need contact

Nothing seems to please

I need contact
The Family And The Fishing NetVer letra 7:07

letra de The Family And The Fishing Net
Suffocated by mirrors, stained by dreams
Her honey belly pulls the seams
Curves are still upon the hinge
Pale zeros tinge the tiger skin

Moist as grass, ripe and heavy as the night
The sponge is full, well out of sight
All around the conversations
Icing on the warm flesh cake

Light creeps through her secret tunnels
Sucked into the open spaces
Burning out in sudden flashes
Draining blood from well-fed faces

Desires form in subtle whispers
Flex the muscles in denial
Up and down its pristine cage
So the music, so the trial

Vows of sacrifice, headless chickens
Dance in circles, they the blessed
Man and wife, undressed by all
Their grafted trunks in heat possessed

Even as the soft skins tingle
They mingle with the homeless mother
Who loves the day but lives another
That once was hers

The worried father, long lost lover
Brushes ashes with his broom
Rehearses jokes to fly and hover
Bursting over the bride and groom

And the talk goes on

Memories crash on tireless waves
The lifeguards whom the winter saves

Silence falls the guillotine
All the doors are shut
Nervous hands grip tight the knife
In the darkness, till the cake is cut
Passed around, in little pieces
The body and the flesh
The family and the fishing-net
And another in the mesh

The body and the flesh
Shock The MonkeyVer letra 5:28

letra de Shock The Monkey
Cover me when I run

Cover me through the fire

Something knocked me out ' the trees

Now I'm on my knees

Cover me, darling please

Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey

Fox the fox

Rat on the rat

You can ape the ape

I know about that

There is one thing you must be sure of

I can't take any more

Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey

Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey

Shock the monkey

Monkey, Wheels keep turning

Monkey, Something's burning

Monkey, Don't like it but I guess I'm learning

Shock! Shock! Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Monkey, Wheels keep turning

Monkey, Something's burning

Monkey, Don't like it but I guess I'm learning

Shock! Shock! Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Monkey, Too much at stake

Monkey, Ground beneath me shake

Monkey, And the news is breaking

Shock! Shock! Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Shock the monkey, shock the monkey

Shock the monkey, shock the monkey

Shock the monkey to life
Lay Your Hands On MeVer letra 6:09

letra de Lay Your Hands On Me
Sat in the corner of the Garden Grill, with plastic flowers
on the window sil
No more miracles, loaves and fishes, been so busy with the
washing of the dishes
Reaction level's much too high - I can do without the stimuli

I'm living way beyond my ways and means, living in the
zone of the inbetweens
I can see the flashes on the frozen ocean, static charge of
the cold emotion
Watched on by the distant eyes - watched on by the silent
hidden spies

But still the warmth flows through me
And I sense you know me well
No luck, no golden chances
No mitigating circumstances now
It's only common sense
There are no accidents around here

I am willing - lay your hands on me
I am ready - lay your hands on me
I believe - lay your hands on me, over me

Working in gardens, thornless roses, fat men play with their
garden hoses
Poolside laughter has a cynical bite, sausage speared by the
cocktail satellite
I walk away from from light and sound, down stairways
leading underground

But still the warmth flows through me
And I sense you know me well
It's only common sense
There are no accidents around here

I am willing - lay your hands on me
I am ready - lay your hands on me
I believe - lay your hands on me, over me
over me

Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, over me
WallflowerVer letra 6:38

letra de Wallflower
6x6 - from wall to wall

Shutters on the windows, no light at all

Damp on the floor you got damp in the bed

They're trying to get you crazy - get you out of your head

They feed you scraps and they feed you lies

To lower your defences, no compromise

Nothing you can do, the day can be long

Your mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong

Hold on, hold on

They put you in a box so you can't get heard

Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred

Hold on, you have gambled with your own life

And you face the night alone

While the builders of the cages

They sleep with bullets, bars and stone

They do not see your road to freedom

That you build with flesh and bone

They take you out - the light burns your eyes

To the talking room - it's no surprise

Loaded questions from clean white coats

Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hippocratic Oath

They tell you - how to behave, behave as their guest

You want to resist them, you do your best

They take you to your limits, they take you beyond

For all that they are doing there's no way to respond

Hold on, hold on

They put you in a box so you can't get heard

Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred

Hold on, you have gambled with your own life

And you face the night alone

While the builders of the cages

They sleep with bullets, bars and stone

They do not see your road to freedom

That you build with flesh and bone

Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here

And I will say to you, I will do what I can do

You may disappear, you're not forgotten here

And I will say to you, I will do what I can do

And I will do what I can do

And I will do what I can do
Kiss Of LifeVer letra 4:15

letra de Kiss Of Life
See me a big woman, big woman look how you dance

See me a big woman, big woman caught in a trance

Dancing on the tabletop, covered up with the Easter feast

You're dancing for the fishermen, from the very large right to the least

Dancing for the slow release, first the boy and then the beast

Then the beast

Burning, burning with the kiss of life

Burning, burning with the kiss of life

See me, a big woman, big woman so full of life

See me, a big woman, big woman going to be my wife

Watching for the different eyes - they change your face - they come inside

Watch the spirits laugh and cry, watch them find a place to hide

Watch the spirits talk in tongues, watch them take you for a ride

Down at the ocean lies a body in the sand

Big woman sits beside, head in hand

With heat from her skin, and fire from her breath

She blows hard, she slows deep in the mouth of death

Burning, burning with the kiss of life

Burning, burning with the kiss of life

Burning, burning with the kiss of life
