Little Wing* Love Is Stronger Than Justice (The Munificent Seven) Love Is The Seventh Wave Low Life Lullaby To An Anxious Child --------------------------------------------------------------------- Little Wing Well, she's walking through the clouds With a circus mind That's running wild. Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams And fairy tales, That's all she ever thinks about... Riding with the wind. When I'm sad she comes to me With a thousand smiles She gives to me free It's alright, she says, it's alright, Take anything you want from me, anything, Fly on, little wing --------------------------------------------------------------------- Love Is Stronger Than Justice (The Munificent Seven) This is a story of seven brothers We had a the same father but different mothers We keep together like a family should Roaming the country for the common good It came to pass one fateful day We found ourselves down Mexico way The town, the mayor, the PTA Pleading on their knees with us all to stay We'd only stopped for a few burritos But they told us of the trouble with los banditos A poor little town in need of aid My brothers and me had never been afraid The age of chivalry is not dead Lonesome nights in a cowboy bed There'd be a bride for every man Who chased away the evil gang Love is stronger than justice Love is thicker than blood Love is stronger than justice Love is a big fat river in flood The outcome was predictable Our banditos were despicable Of blood we lost a dozen liters A small price to pay for las senoritas The town mayor was happy but his face was glum The maidens numbered only one But there weren't seven brides for seven brothers I knew I had to get rid of the others Love is stronger than justice Love is thicker than blood Love is stronger than justice Love is the big fat river in flood Mother told me I was the clever one The seventh son of a seventh son It all ended so happily I settled down with the family I look forward to a better day But ethical stuff never got in my way And though there used to be brothers seven The other six are singing in heaven Love is stronger than justice Love is thicker than blood Love is stronger than justice Love is a big fat river in flood --------------------------------------------------------------------- Love Is the Seventh Wave In the empire of the senses You're the queen of all you survey All the cities all the nations Everything that falls your way There is a deeper world than this That you don't understand There is a deeper world that this Tugging at your hand Every ripple on the ocean Every leaf on every tree Every sand dune in the desert Every power we never see There is a deeper wave than this Swelling in the world There is a deeper wave than this Listen to me girl Feel it rising in the cities Feel it sweeping over land Over borders, over frontiers Nothing will its power withstand There is no deeper wave than this Listen to me girl All the bloodshed all the anger All the weapons all the greed All the armies all the missiles All the symbols of your fear There is a deeper wave than this Listen to me girl At the still point of destruction At the center of the fury All the angels all the devils All around us can't you see There is a deeper wave than this Rising in the land There is a deeper wave than this Nothing will withstand I say love is the seventh wave --------------------------------------------------------------------- Low Life Fatal fascination for the seedy part of town Walk down the street and your head spins round Don't be seen alone without your friends at night Take a gun or a knife to the low life Don't have to be born into this society Pay for love but the hate comes free Bring enough money for the rest of your life Don't bring your wife to the low life Bringing us there to the degradation Always keep your back to the wall No rewards for your infatuation Low life No life at all Yeah, low life, low life In here to long to be afraid anymore You can't reach the bed so you sleep on the floor You get so stoned you think you could fly But you won't get high on the low life Low life.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Lullaby to an Anxious Child Hush child, Let your mommy sleep into the night until we rise Hush child, Let me soothe the shining tears that gather in your eyes Hush child, I won't leave I'll stay with you to cross this Bridge of Sighs Hush child, I can help the look of accusation in your eyes In your eyes The world is broken and now All in sorrow Wise men hang their heads Hush child, Let your mommy sleep into the night until we rise Hush child, All the strength I'll need to find, I'll find inside your eyes In your eyes |
