Bring On The Angels
I am a man of desire
Walking into the light
We are creatures of Heaven
We inherit the might
Send your heart to the left
Cast your soul to the right
Hand in glove we will move
Under cover of night.
Bring on the angels
Tangled in halos
Set them loose in the garden of Zeus
Bring on the angels
Oh holy heroes
Let me swim in the river of sin & light
We are creatures of habit
Yet we fight for a change
We are soldiers of fortune
Penniless all the same
They call us the rebels
But what's in a name?
We are what we are
And we are all the stars in the sky
A Swan Therefore A Swan
Your graven image
Unfolds before me
Unforgiven, No sign of beauty
Outside your window
The cover girl posies
Weep like a willow
Like a diamond in the quarry
You're a gem yet unrefined
So cry humbly ugly duckling
You will be a swam in time
This crazy torture
That you are enduring
Will end tomorrow
slowly but surely
So don't bang the tango
Dance with all 7 veils
Until Eldorado
In the City of Angels
There are artificial Swans
You must rise above them
The artificial Swans
Wake up Little Suzie
Fight for your sanity
This groovy movie
Is taking it's toll
Your graven image
Unfolds before me
Unforgiven
Aquate
Darkness.....I'm a Loch Ness leopard
Waiting for you
Deep sea.....I'm in a quandary
I'm wading for you
I wanna Aquate, dive & gyrate
Blow me up a bubble on Lover's Lake
Aquate, writhe & deflate
Down, down, down
I sit in a cavern at the bottom of the sea
Uncle Neptune and me
Everyday I hope, I up my periscope
What will I see?
No Aqua Velva boys, no Perma Wave girls
Only the wet look for me
No drip dry, honey that's no lie
I would flounder endlessly
Retribution Day
If I were a gambling man
This risk I take might surely damn my future
I might lie awake, I might toss and turn
Feel the heat, crash and burn..torture
But it's OK
There's always
Retribution Day
This road I'm on, it seems to lack
A point of reference on any map...it's nowhere
Ten sacks of gold for the devil's spell
It might be heaven, it might be hell...remember
If I had wings like an aero plane
I would fly, I would proclaim..across the sky
When did the child become the man?
Who put this power in his hand?
It's dangerous
Bridges
Cool cat under the Golden Gate
Said hurry up honey, don't be late
Pick me up at a quarter to six
I'm tired of playing with my fiddle sticks
Go-go girlie with the Hollywood wish
Crossing over the Brooklyn Bridge
Says she's going to be a star
Hold that dream and you'll go far
Everybody's crossing over
Somewhere somehow
Going here and going there
A face in the crowd
Could this be the reel thing?
Muscle men with big machines
Trucks and cranes and drilling things
Set the charge and save the nation
The biggest bridge in all creation

Calypso
Fascinated by the rock of Gibraltar
Emancipated by the Blarney Stone
All the children of the Great Revolution
Were swaying to Moroccan Roll
Never a thought for tomorrow
We were always at the seaside by 9
Now all of those mischievous faces
Are calling from the back of my mind
Hey Calypso where did you go to?
I liked the way you shimmied the tree
When you shook it down came the coco
Hey Calypso where did you go?
Riding on a wave in Jamaica
Diving for Spanish doubloons
Those are the days I remember
Everyone ending too soon
We were the toast of Manhattan
No river deep mountain tall
Only one thing with the high life
You have further to go when you fall
Farewell seashell
Remember me
Goodnight starlight
Sailing slow
Steady as she goes
Calypso
Once I could fly like an eagle
Once I could run with the wind
Now all of the cards have been shuffled
And I don't know how to begin
So I'm waiting in the coward's cathedral
Praying for the curtain to fall
Sitting in the folds of my armchair
With a ticket to the end of it all
Hey Calypso where did you go to?
Valenteen
Today she is only one and five
But on the day she was born all the gods cried
Aphrodite, Zeus and Mars
Followed in a motorcar
The gem of Olympia had arrived
Valenteen....watercolor girl
Valenteen....deliver us all
Siboney priestess of Bombay
Fell down upon the altar so they all say
She recognized the calling card
Of the daughter of the evening star
She chanted through the darkness and the day
Goddess of cool
Savior of fools
Red dress redemtress
Daughter divine
Will I go blind
If I give witness?
Shadowman
In the darkness he sees all things
Hearts a flutter, souls with wings
In the mirror he casts no doubt
The night knows but you won't find out
He's fading, erasing
He's waiting in the shadows
Cloak and dagger, doesn't matter
You're dancing with the Shadowman
Like an angel he'll fly and sing
A song of wisdom, a song of dreams
Like a devil he'll make you sweat
Show you places you won't forget
He's a nightmare, he's a fantasy
He's anything you want him to be
Liquid lover or a demon doll
Through the years he's been it all
Presenting Vera's Unveiling
Vera comes and Vera goes
Vera says she never knows the story
Vera please believe me child
Many have walked the crooked mile before you
Vera's amazing
Vera is changing
Stepping over the line
Vera was wretching
Now Vera's fetching
Presenting Vera's Unveiling
9 to 5 fools them all
Another flower on the wall..no question
No attention, no regard
Never be the morning star...they don't notice
Now she blossoms
Now she blooms
The heartbreak of every room
She dances a brand new fandango
Riding on her carousel
What they want she has to sell
She knows every detail and angle
