I see this place through angels' eyes
Up where the northern border lies
I see the lights in the winter skies
Up where the northern border lies
I sing the song of sorrow's hungry sailors
Who've crossed a hundred seas or more
And I am a friend to every heartbreak stranger
Who ever came this way before
I see this place through angels' eyes
Up where the northern border lies
I see the lights in the winter skies
Up where the northern border lies
I am a brother to the winds that sing here
That fade their word and twist the signs
And I am a sister to the stones that listen
To songs the devil leaves behind
Oh my friends where have you gone
Hearts will hold when seas stand strong
Ocean rolls the waves along
We will stay and carry on
Oh my friends where have you gone
Hearts will hold when seas stand strong
Ocean rolls the waves along
We will stay and carry on
And I see this place through angels' eyes
Up where the northern border lies
I see the lights in the winter skies
Up where the northern border lies
Up where the northern border lies
Up where the northern border lies
Ai yi yi
Ah you know she's never ever gonna get that
Ai yi yi
You'll never ever ever ever get a ride back
On the biggest block in town
On the loudest block in town
I'm never ever ever ever gonna go back
Statues on the rooftops
Oh my head, my only friend
Angels by my bedside
Oh my heart, what's that I hear?
Footsteps on the stairway
Oh my God, what have I done?
I thank you again for the hat on my head
The ghosts in a line were twisting away
Time is up, time is out, it's the end of the century now
We stood for a while with our backs to the wind
Thank you again for the hat on my head
Time is up, time is out, it's the end of the century now
It's the end of the century now
Ransom Jenny and a swing to the right
Ransom Jenny and a swing to the right
I'm saved by the spinning wheel
Ransom Jenny and a swing to the right
Front to last, front to last
Ransom Jenny and a swing to the right
I'm saved by the spinning wheel
Ransom Jenny and a swing to the right
Dream in dust
Dream instead
Well don't we realize what we've done
Dream tonight
We'll sing the hunter's song
They were lining up the legions
Here he comes, the holy roller
They get the message of the powers that will be
What started as a problem
Outside the pavilion
In the middle of the ticker-tape headache
Run out of questions
Ten, Nine, Eight
Lucy's afraid that her bed will be gone
She'll wake up one day and her face will be on
She set her room on fire
She says she is sure she'll be regular soon
With a regular job and a regular room
She set her room on fire
Yeah you know she's never ever gonna get that
You gave me a book of etymology
And I'm not interested in that
You tell everybody what you see --
The view from someone else's back
You're never ever ever ever gonna go back
You're never ever ever ever gonna write that
Ten, nine, eight
All the years go by this way
Ten, nine, eight
On my hands and on my face
They're gonna close your clubhouse down
And everybody understands
There's only one direction now
The members watch without a sound
And when the shouting's done they know
There are no more suggestions now
I'm never ever ever ever gonna write that
Ten, nine, eight
All the years go by this way
Ten, nine, eight
On my hands and on my face
Ten, nine, eight
On my hands and on my face
Ten, nine, eightVoices Down
Have just now come to life
Summoned by my letters
I guard them with my knife
All these ghosts are real again
The doctors on my right
None of you can touch me
Watch me vanish in the light
Such a long way down from here
Walk with your head up
Talk with your voices down
A knock upon my door
And though you think you've found me
I won't be here anymore
But these days have just begun
Walk with your head up
Talk with your voices down
Talk with your voices down
Walk with your head up
Talk with your voices down
Talk with your voices downTurn It Around
The bicycle wheel and the spoon in my bed
And an angel who offers to sing what I've said
I thank you again, I thank you again
Ooh yeah, and again
The echoes of the evening at the end of the day
And a wide open window where the radio plays
We're twisting away, we're twisting away
Turn it around
You turn it around and you see how it works
Turn it around
'Cause I've invited you here to the ends of the earth
Let's go
Keep your head, watch your back, it's the end of the century now
And watched the horizon for the whales to come in
And looked for a sign that the winter would end
And we're watching again, watching again
Turn it around
Turn it around and you see how it works
Turn it around
'Cause I've invited you here to the ends of the earth
To the ends of the earth
The bicycle wheel and the spoon in my bed
For the angel who offers to sing what I've said
Thank you again, thank you again
Turn it around
Turn it around and you see how it works
Turn it around
'Cause I've invited you here to the ends of the earth
All right
Keep your head, watch your back, it's the end of the century now
Time is up, time is out, it's the end of the century now
Keep your head, watch your back, it's the end of the century now
It's the end
It's the end of the century now
It's the endRansom Jenny
Up the line she's gonna find one
Put your money on a bird in flight
I'll put my money on the blind one
Up the line she's gonna find one
Put your money on a bird in flight
I'll put my money on the blind one
You burn down but the rain will come back hours before you feel it
Saved by the tumbling wheel
You know that the wind will come and we will help you feel it
Up the line she's gonna find one
Put your money on a bird in flight
I'll put my money on the blind one
We can see you tremble as you treat your glass
Front to last, front to last
We see you drink down fortune by the dozen
Front to last, front to last
We can see you pulling on your dreaming cap
Front to last, front to last
We see you trade one trouble for another
Up the line she's gonna find one
Put your money on a bird in flight
I'll put my money on the blind one
Slow down but the wind will come back miles before you feel it
Saved by the tumbling wheel
But you know your peace will come and we will help you steal it
Up the line she's gonna find one
Put your money on a bird in flight
I'll put my money on the blind one
Hunter's Song
Dream in glass
Dream in oil
Dream in black
I'll dig dig dig for you
I'll dig dig dig for you
In the home of the favorite son
In the house of the fortunate daughter, yeah
Strange how the candles refuse to light
Strange how the darkness will scream tonight
Dream in hand
Dream 'cross ocean
Dream in sand
I'll dig dig dig for you
I'll dig dig dig for you
In the hall of the desert king
Comes the sound of the soldier's orders, yeah
Strange how the candles refuse to light
Strange how the darkness will scream tonight
Wasted for so long
Ignored the signals from the sun
Seen the sun below in the sky
And very soon your sun is gone
Dream today
Dream on fire
Dream away
We call this country's dreams
To the grounds of a broken border
And the sounds of the clashing turn
To the sounds of the marching orders, marching orders
Strange how the candles refuse to light
Strange how the darkness will scream tonight
We'll sing the hunter's song
We'll sing the hunter's song
We'll sing the hunter's song
Out of Time (The Barricades)
Down at the barricades
Bussed into the clinics
The sacred paper brigade
His voice is rising to a roar
Out at the congregation
Chained to the door
One girl's crisis is another girl's luxury
That's the way they want it
That's the way it seems
But the way they want it's not the only way
The way that it could be
Set off with a spark
Now it keep a woman hanging
By a question mark
The line's getting long
Might not have the answers
Might not be so wrong
One girl's privilege is another girl's misery
I know this is treason and
So that's what I'll be
I'll never stop talking if
If you listen to me
And places to hide
Better run for the high ground
Gonna run out of time
That's the way they want it
That's the way it seems
But the way they want it's not the only way
The way that it could be
