You know the day destroys the night Night divides the day Tried to run, tried to hide Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side, yeah We chased our pleasures here Dug our treasures there But can you still recall the time we cried?

Letra
Well, the clock says it's time to close now I guess I'd better go now I'd really like to stay here all night The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes Street lights share their hollow glow Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise Still one place to go Still one place to go Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen Warm my mind near your gentle stove Turn me out and I'll wander, baby Stumblin' in the neon groves Well, your fingers weave quick minuets Speak in secret alphabets I light another cigarette Learn to forget Learn to forget Learn to forget Learn to forget Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen Warm my mind near your gentle stove Turn me out and I'll wander, baby Stumblin' in the neon groves Well, the clock says it's time to close now I know I'll have to go now I really wanna stay here all night All night All night - The Crystal Ship2:30
Letra
Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss Another flashing chance at bliss Another kiss Another kiss The days are bright and filled with pain Enclose me in your gentle rain The time you ran was too insane We'll meet again We'll meet again Oh, tell me where your freedom lies The streets are fields that never die Deliver me from reasons why You'd rather cry I'd rather fly The crystal ship is being filled A thousand girls. A thousand thrills A million ways to spend your time When we get back I'll drop a line - Twentieth Century Fox2:30
Letra
Well, she's fashionably lean And she's fashionably late She'll never wreck a scene She'll never break a date But she's no drag, just watch the way she walks She's a twentieth century fox She's a twentieth century fox No tears, no fears No ruined years, no clocks She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah She's the queen of cool And she's the lady who waits Since her mind left school It never hesitates She won't waste time on elementary talk 'Cause she's a twentieth century fox She's a twentieth century fox Got the world locked up Inside a plastic box She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah Twentieth century fox, oh yeah Twentieth century fox She's a twentieth century fox - Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)3:15

Letra
This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes again Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need of some stranger's hand In a desperate land? Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain And all the children are insane All the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain, yeah There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway, baby Weird scenes inside the gold mine Ride the highway west, baby Ride the snake, ride the snake To the lake, the ancient lake, baby The snake is long, seven miles Ride the snake, he's old, and his skin is cold The west is the best The west is the best Get here, and we'll do the rest The blue bus is callin' us The blue bus is callin' us Driver, where you taken' us? The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall He went into the room where his sister lived, and then he Paid a visit to his brother, and then he He walked on down the hall, and And he came to a door and he looked inside Father? Yes son I want to kill you Mother, I want to fuck you C'mon baby, take a chance with us And meet me at the back of the blue bus Doin' a blue rock, on a blue bus Doin' a blue rock, c'mon, yeah Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend, the end It hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die This is the end
