"Ramon" lyrics
"Ramon"
Last night I saw a host of angels
And they were all singing different songs
And it sounded like a lot of lawnmowers
Mowing down my lawn
And up above kerjillions of stars
Spangled all over the sky
And they were spirals turning
Turning in the deep blue night
And suddenly for no reason
The way that angels leave the ground
They left in a kind of vortex
Traveling at the speed of sound
And just as I started to leave
Just as I turned to go
I saw a man who'd fallen
He was lying on his back in the snow
Some people walk on water
Some people walk on broken glass
Some just walk round and round in their dreams
Some just keep falling down
So when you see a man who's broken
Pick him up and carry him
And when you see a woman who's broken
Put her all into your arms
'Cause we don't know where we come from
We don't know what we are
So when you see a man who's broken
Pick him up and carry him
And when you see a woman who's broken
Put her all into your arms
'Cause we don't know where we come from
We don't know what we are
And you?
You're no one
And you?
You're falling
And you?
You're traveling
Traveling at the speed of light
And you?
You're no one
And you?
You're falling
And you?
You're traveling
Traveling at the speed of light
And you?
You're no one
And you?
You're falling
And you?
You're traveling
Traveling at the speed of light

Emmylou Harris - "Tragedy" Some say it's destiny
Whether triumph or tragedy
But I believe we cast our nets out on the sea
And nothing we gather
Comes for free
I would have paid down through the years
A price beyond rubies...
Big Audio Dynamite II - "Can't Wait / Live" It's called "Can't Wait"
Well, they told me
It would be OK
Yeah, they told me
They told me what to say
And they gave to me
Then they took away
Yeah, they gave it to me
It was powdered cocaine
And...
Peter Murphy - "Dragnet Drag" Look at them now
Look at them do
Look they found the dove
Their vastness too
Whirlpools whirl
And dragnets drag
Love me do oh love me do
Love me find the dove
This vastness sings a pretty song
This...

Easter's heir uncrowns
Another destiny
lies leeched

Belly - "Full Moon, Empty Heart" Sleep in now, now
Sleep in now, now, now
It's still light out
Sleep in, now, now
Don't look at me looking back at you
Out the window backwards
Out the window backwards
Sleep
See this child twice...
