1. The Queen And The Soldier4:48
2. Some Journey3:38

   Letra

   If I had met you on some journey Where would we be now If we had met some eastbound train Through some black sleeping town Would you have worn your silken robes All made of royal blue? Would I have dressed in smoke and fire For you to see through? If we had met in a darkened room Where people do not stay But shadows touch and pass right through And never see the day Would you have taken me upstairs And turned the lamplight low? Would I have shown my secret self And disappeared like the snow? Oh, I could have played your little girl Or I could have played your wife I could have played your mistress Running danger down through you life I could have played your lady fair All dressed in lace like the foam from the sea I could have been your woman of the road As long as you did not come back home to me But as it is, we live in the city And everything stays in place Instead we meet on the open sidewalk And it's well I know your face We talk and talk, we tell the truth There are no shadows here But when I look into your eyes I wonder what might have been here Because if I had met you on some journey Where would we be now?
3. Undertow3:26

   Letra

   I believe right now if I could I would swallow you whole I would leave only bones and teeth We could see what was underneath And you would be free then Once I thought only tears could make us free Salt wearing down to the bone Like sand against the stone Against the shoreline I am friend to the undertow I take you in, I don't let go And now I have you I wanted to learn all the secrets From the edge of a knife From the point of a needle From a diamond From a bullet in flight I would be free then I am friend to the undertow I take you in, I don't let go And now I have you I wanted to see how it would feel To be that sleek And instead I find this hunger's Made me weak I believe right now if I could I would swallow you whole I would leave only bones and teeth We could see what was underneath And you would be free then I am friend to the undertow I take you in, I don't let go And now I have you I am friend to the undertow I take you in, I don't let go And now I have you
4. Straight Lines3:49

   Letra

   There's a sound Across the alley Of cold metal Touching skin And you can see If you look in her window That she has gone and cut Her hair again In straight lines Straight lines Those soft golden lights in the morning Are now on her wooden floor The wind has swept them through the apartment She don't need them Any more Any more Any more... She's cut down On her lovers Though she still dreams Of them at night She's growing straight lines Where once were flowers She is streamlined She is taking the shade down From the light To see the straight lines Straight lines She wants to cut through the circles That she has lived in before She wants to finally kill the delusions She won't need them Any more Any more Any more... But there's a sound Across the alley Of cold metal Too close to the bone And you can see If you look in her window The face of a woman Finally alone Behind straight lines Straight lines
5. Small Blue Thing3:54

   Letra

   Today I am A small blue thing Like a marble Or an eye With my knees against my mouth I am perfectly round I am watching you I am cold against your skin You are perfectly reflected I am lost inside your pocket I am lost against Your fingers I am falling down the stairs I am skipping on the sidewalk I am thrown against the sky I am raining down in pieces I am scattering like light Scattering like light Scattering like light Today I am A small blue thing Made of china Made of glass I am cool and smooth and curious I never blink I am turning in your hand Turning in your hand Small blue thing
6. Marlene On The Wall3:40

   Letra

   Even if I am in love with you All this to say, what's it to you? Observe the blood, the rose tattoo Of the fingerprints on me from you Other evidence has shown That you and I are still alone We skirt around the danger zone And don't talk about it later Marlene watches from the wall Her mocking smile says it all As she records the rise and fall Of every soldier passing But the only soldier now is me I'm fighting things I cannot see I think it's called my destiny That I am changing Marlene on the wall I walk to your house in the afternoon By the butcher's shop with the sawdust strewn "Don't give away the goods too soon" Is what she might have told me And I tried so hard to resist When you held me in your handsome fist And reminded me of the night we kissed And of why I should be leaving Marlene watched from the wall Her mocking smile says it all As she records the rise and fall Of every soldier passing But the only soldier now is me I'm fighting things I cannot see I think it's called my destiny That I am changing Marlene on the wall Marlene watched from the wall Her mocking smile says it all As she records the rise and fall Of every soldier passing But the only soldier now is me I'm fighting things I cannot see I think it's called my destiny That I am changing Marlene on the wall And even if I am in love with you All this to say, what's it to you? Observe the blood, the rose tattoo Of the fingerprints on me from you Other evidence has shown That you and I are still alone We skirt around the danger zone And don't talk about it later And I tried so hard to resist When you held me in your handsome fist And reminded me of the night we kissed And of why I should be leaving Marlene watches from the wall Her mocking smile says it all As she records the rise and fall Of every man who's been here But the only one here now is me I'm fighting things I cannot see I think it's called my destiny That I am changing Changing, changing, changing, changing Marlene watched from the wall Her mocking smile says it all As she records the rise and fall Of every soldier passing But the only soldier now is me I'm fighting things I cannot see I think it's called my destiny That I am changing Marlene on the wall
7. Freeze Tag2:36

   Letra

   We go to the playground In the wintertime The sun is fading fast Upon the slides into the past Upon the swings of indecision In the wintertime In the dimming diamonds Scattering in the park In the tickling And the trembling Of freeze tag In the dark We play that we're actors On a movie screen I will be Dietrich And you can be Dean You stand With your hand In your pocket And lean against the wall You will be Bogart And I will be Bacall And we can only say yes now To the sky, to the street, to the night Slow fade now to black Play me one more game Of chivalry You and me Do you see where I've been hiding In this hide-and-seek? We go to the playground In the wintertime The sun is fading fast Upon the slides into the past Upon the swings of indecision In the wintertime Wintertime Wintertime We can only say yes now To the sky, to the street, to the night We can only say yes now To the sky, to the street, to the night
8. Cracking2:49

   Letra

   It's a one time thing It just happens A lot Walk with me And we will see What we have got Ah... My footsteps are ticking Like water dripping from a tree Walking a harline And stepping very carefully Ah... My heart is broken It is worn out at the knees Hearing muffled Seeing blind Soon it will hit the Deep Freeze And something is cracking I don't know where Ice on the sidewalk Brittle braches In the air The sun Is blinding Dizzy golden, dancing green Through the park in the afternoon Wondering where the hell I have been Ah...
9. Knight Moves3:36

   Letra

   Watch while the queen In one false move Turns herself into a pawn Sleepy and shaken And watching while the blury night Turns into a very clear dawn Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love me? Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love me? One false move And a secret prophecy Well, if you hold it against her, First hold it up and see That it's one side stone One side fire Standing alone among all men's desire They want to know Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love me? Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love me? And if you wonder What I am doing As I am heading For the sink I am spitting out all the bitterness Along with half of my last drink I am thinking Of your woman Who is crying in the hall It's like drinking gasoline To quench a thirst Until there's nothing there left at all Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love me? Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love me? "Walk on the blind side"? Was the answer to the joke It's said there isn't a political bone In her body She would rather be a riddle But she keeps challenging the future With a profound lack of history Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love me? Do you love any, do you love none, Do you love many, can you love one, Do you love me? And watch while the queen In one false move Turns herself into a pawn Sleepy and shaken And watching while the blury night Turns into a very clear dawn Do you love me? [X5]
10. Neighborhood Girls3:21

    Letra

    "We had our Neighborhood girl, she Used to hang out, in front of McKinsey's Bar, and we were Interested in her, and her Clientele... We just wonder where she's gone..." "Oh she's gone?" "Yes, she's gone, gone, gone." "I think you know your Neighborhood girl, she Lives on my street, now, with Eyes of ice I've seen her in the morning, when she is Walking in the sun And I always thought that she Looked kind of nice She spoke to me once At a party, I think And I thought at the time That she had had too much to drink, because she Said to me, `There's a backbone gone And I've got to get it back Before going on...' And your neighborhood girl Seems to have resigned She was looking out at people From the back of her mind And before she went off She spoke to me again She came up and said `You have the eyes of a friend And there's a razor's edge That I have lost somewhere And I would like it back So if you've seen it anywhere... I've been out for a while But I'll be back in a bit I am just walking through the smoke Finding out if this is it Because I've got this feeling That things are going grey And I'd like to hear a straight line To help me find my way...' I looked at her And I did not know what to say. She had long black hair." "Must be a different Neighborhood girl, cause Ours had blonde hair, in front of McKinsey's Bar And we were interested in her And her Clientele... We just wonder where she's gone..." "Oh she's gone?" "Yes, she's gone, gone, gone."
