o mon cher
cuz I’ll go with you anywhere

I know about the Motel 6
I know about the truckstop stations
I know about giving up on yourself
you don’t have to tell me about giving up
but don’t tarry in the street Pauline
because the cops down here
they’re cold and mean
if they see you up there on your hot tin roof
throwing pop bottles at them
with your gold cap tooth
you chipped it for your vampire smile
can we leave all this beauty for a while
just show them the Halston
they’re gonna love that
show us the Halston
and those Jimmy Choos
the Jimmy Choo shoes
the Jimmy Choos hey

I know about the Motel 6

how can I tell you
the way I feel when you’re inside?
you made this girl
as young as the moon
and old as the lips
the wave that rests
in the pool, guarding
we come unknowing
the where or the why
throwing back our weight
growing by and by
staring at what we’ve made
as if we’re not afraid
as helpless as the wind
as perfect as the sun
at days end
we’ll watch each other
til we’re sure we are safe
counting all the sheep
that still pass this way
and darling, as you dream
you seem to glow
with the faces that you know
and I’m jealous that I can’t be there
we’ll stay together
we’ll never part
our grandchildren will know us
cuz they’re made of our heart
and even though we’re parted
from the physical world
I’ll always be your girl
and I’ll watch the world
for signs of love.

I know you come here to this bar
cuz no one here knows who you are
you watch the band sing tra-la-la
you wear your Eau J’ai Connais Pas
my sister knew you back in school
said you were nobody’s fool
but you let it slip away
sittin’ there surfin’ USA
I’m not talking about a song
the things you did were wrong
just trying to have some fun
didn’t hurt anyone
but you wasted time
it’s a long sad tale
we’re glad to see you’re finally out of jail
there’s not much left to say
let that guitar player play
J’ai Connais Pas anyway
I’m not talking about a song
oh I’m not
I think the thing you did was wrong
trying to have some fun
didn’t hurt no one but yourself
and wasted
it’s a long sad tale
I know you spent some time in a jail
happiness is what you choose
when there’s nothing left to loose
from Biloxi to the Blues
it’s a long sad tale
and I’m so glad you’re out of jail
I see you don’t have much to say
let that guitar player play
J’ai Connais Pas anyway

I know where I’m going
because I been there before
floating in the sun
laying on the shore
I caught a beautiful wave
I came in all the way
please help me climb on
again, yeah
sometimes I tell myself
it doesn’t matter to me
if I live in chains
or if I fight to be free
I been out here so long
that I don’t know anymore
I get lost just
walking out the door, yeah
cuz I’m Blinded By The Hunt
cuz I’m Blinded By The Hunt
cuz Blinded By The Hunt
I am Blinded By The Hunt
well I can’t go back
and I’ll never stop
there’s just one way left for me
to find a little peace
and I know what i want
at least I tell myself
to set my heart on fire
with the love of someone else
then why do ya run?
you want to take good care of each other
reaching out your hand
so touch me if you can, yeah yeah
cuz I’m Blinded By The Hunt
cuz I’m Blinded by the hunt
Blinded By The Hunt
Blinded By The Hunt
I’m Blinded By The Hunt

traveling on a train
sitting with the band
looking out the window
everything is made of
shape and form
now we’re in a bar
an empty bar
and there’s no where for me
why do people come here?
I don’t know
but look a little deeper
expanding to my left
are people everywhere …
cuz this is where we’ve always been
it will always come again
it hasn’t even happened yet
we’re here and in
Infinity Infinity
and now I go wrong
I always do go wrong
and someone has to help me now
Marsha pulling off my shirt
it’s caught around my neck
it hurts and
I can’t breathe
you’re killing me with kindness
why don’t you let me go?
then I say
‘this isn’t really happening’
but the dream goes on
this is an illusion
every corner of the galaxy
they’re watching
“Infinity”
time is a wave
moving through space.
there are your hands,
here is my face
ahh
we’re the Movie of the Week
every corner of the galaxy
they’re watching
this is where we’ve always been
it will always come again
it hasn’t even happened yet
we’re here and in
Infinity

taking my time
hurrying along
I do what I like to go
where I know I will
never go wrong
the world is my home
the world is my cone
and it’s delicious
to wish this-
that you never feel alone
I like how you walk
into a room
you can bring oceans of potions
and suddenly we’re on the moon
I’m a galaxy jet!
so I never fret
that’s never gotten me anywhere
I want to hang around yet
believe me
it’s easy to be where you want to go
out in the nether together
and we’ll just let go
and fly
fall through the air
don’t have a care
these precious moments
we’re in this together
we’re lighter than air

someone like you
makes me feel see-through
cuz I was a weight
and the stakes got so high
that I finally fell through
believe and it’s easy to see
where you’re going
out in the weather together
with wind, sky and snow
so where shall we go?
I don’t really know
but when we get there
I’m sure we’ll ask someone
and someone will know
well that’s how I am
happy again
just to be part of the show
when you go tell ‘em I say hello!!!
I wasn’t here
when you saw me, it’s clear
(I hope you don’t go)

it’s Christmas time
here in New Orleans
the streets are all empty
but for we three Queens
who follow the fire
of an old guitar
that burns so bright
over the local bar
I know you told me girl
why do you let them see you cry?
look away, look away like me
and your crowd went wild
who can say what breaks inside?
me I woke up in the wings
and I still can’t recognize
this sound my scars make
when I sing
how could you explain
a life as crazy as ours?
how would I explain a love
that fell down from the stars
and burned a light into the dark
that was my life for a while…
and now you wake up again
in that old black hat
another dream of me
bet you don’t tell her that
now you roll over
turn and smell her hair
you know, it’s warm down here
for Christmas
we all hope you’re cold up there
how do we explain a time
as crazy as ours?
how do you explain a love
that fell down from the stars
and burned a light
into the dark?
that was my life
for a while…
so when you’re lost out here
on the Other Side of Desire
come on in and warm your hands
on our eternal fire
we’re all drinking and singing songs
full of Christmas cheer
and every ghost there at the bar
wishes that you were here

when love comes along
it seems like
he was always by your side
makes you feel like
you’ve never been alone, never been alone
never never been lied to
always felt this way
you’re happy
you’re so happy
you can forget you ever cried
but you better hold on
to your tears
cuz they hold you down
sometimes
dodo dodo, lalalalala
dodo dodo, lalalalala
yeah
you better be careful
or all the bluebirds will stop flying
you better be careful
or all the stars will stop flying
you better be careful
or all your dreams just stop dying
you better be careful
or all your heart will stop stinging
you better be careful
hold on to something
hold on to your heartache
yeah, yeah
oh oh oh oh oh oh

she was a happy child
funny and bright and wild
and all of the grown-ups agreed
she was ‘Most Likely To Succeed
in Ruling the World!’
now she calls you on the phone
she’s never there alone
who is he, why is he there, that man?
she steals everything she can
easily buy it . ‘mother,
can you send some cash?’
here, World Domination Rules
get in line with these fools
we’ll show you how much it costs
twice as much as we’ve lost
this is no way to live
and I have no more to give
til she’s got her
Feet On The Ground
life is a merry-go-round
taking her up so high
the angels cry
she’s got her
Feet On The Ground
life is a merry-go-round
taking her up so high
the angels cry
the story goes on and on
nobody’s right or wrong
there somebody’s aunt
somebody’s dad,
they spent the last dollar they had
trying to bring someone home
you, you call her on the phone
you’re always here alone.
a daily reminder of what it’s cost
how much you’ve given,
how much you’ve lost
trying to save her-
-I’ll just send you the cash.

now world domination’s lost.
and this is what it costs.
twice as much as we’ve had
but daddy, it’s not that bad
how does she survive
why is she left alive?
til she’s got her
feet on the ground
life is a merry-go-round
taking her up so high
the angels cry
but she’s gonna get her
Feet On The Ground
life is a merry-go-round
taking her up so high
that you hear the angels cry

Juliette mon coeur
ma sur, trésor…
les Mistral, encore
come to freeze the leaf from the tree
come to blow the roof from the eave
look into the window
set the skylark free to fly
away…
Juliette my friend

it’s here again

sejour avec moi

don’t be afraid little one
we can’t always walk in the sun
I’ve come to show you another way
around
weaving a home
from patterns of sound
we catch marvelous moments
put them down, put them down
ah don’t I recall
all of us flying
on parachutes in fall
into the wind
to all stars again
somewhere
the first of us is always
there
the last of us
is not afraid
to leave
all life is circling
and all circles leading
the circus is gone
our kind too…
eat me and
live, child
