Let There Be Light

when the sun
grows higher
in the sky
and you'll know why
when your life
breathes fire
a new high
let there be light
when the moon
glows brighter
in the night
i'll hold you tight
when the stars
feel like fire
don't ask why
baby, I don't mind
when the sun
grows higher
in the sky
and then we die
when your life
breathes fire
don't ask why
let there be light
we are made of the sun
we are made of the sun

Black cat laying by the door
I know that she’s been here before
Should I let her in my room?
Should I go riding on a broom?
Midnight’s approaching far too slow
Wonder tonight where should I go
I might go roaming ‘round the tomb
I might sing songs to the moon
Black cat be my friend tonight
I know together we’ll get by
‘cuz friends don’t come often anymore
When we swept love under the floor
Black cat, come with me, don’t think twice
I promise tonight will be alright
we’ll fly together towards the moon
Hurry and the dawn won’t come so soon
Black cat we’re out here on our own
but you and I, together we’ll get home
Now let’s go ride into the night
The starry sky will help us take flight
Midnight’s approaching far too soon
we can sit and swim the lagoon
we can run and howl with the ghouls
together we can always act like fools
Black Cat
Stay with me
Black Cat
Stay with me tonight

Dear Lord can you see me running
Ground quakes earth shakes And I’m a running
Dear Lord can you hear me moaning
I am a black hole of pain that’s overflowing
I’m in love with a dark star
I don’t know if I’ll ever find my way home
Dear Lord can you see me coming
Ground quakes earth shakes and I’m a running
Dear Lord now they’re all against me
Asteroid come down and release me
I’m in love with the dark star
I don’t know if I’ll ever find my way home
I’m in love with a dark star
I don’t know if I’ll ever find my way home

There’s a riot on the highway
And the cops are getting ready
For a showdown with the city
There’s a riot out on the highway
———
I’m gonna build a bunker yeah
And fill it with my friends
And when we think the end is near
We’ll batten down the hatch
If it’s over, say “so long”
Cuz When they drop the bomb
So if you think we’re at the brink
Then Go and grab your mom
Build a bunker
Build a bunker
Build a bunker
Build a bunker
Don’t be movin’ over ground
The drones will hunt you down
Fly by night and out of sight
And do not make a sound
I’m gonna to build a bunker yeah
Make it all air tight
And when it’s time to go inside
Then we’ll say goodnight
Build a bunker
Build a bunker
Build a bunker
Build a bunker
———
there’s a riot on the highway
And the cops are getting ready
For a show down with the city
And they’re burning down the precinct
Now the cops are taking Lake Street
And they’re looting at the grocery
And everything is burning
But no one‘s got a worry
Now they’re shooting teargas
And the sky’s as red as morning
At the showdown with the city
there’s a riot on the highway
There’s a riot on the highway
And the cops are getting ready
For a showdown with the city
There’s a riot out on the highway
There’s a riot
There’s a riot

Sarajevo Rose
Tell them what you told
All about the mortar shells
I'm growin' old
But I can read the Bills
So long ago,
but I can see them all
I don't have eyes,
But that don't surprise
I still know what I know
Sarajevo Rose,
It's all gone to hell
Take 'em with you
On your way back home
Cal, give us your beautiful voice!
The blood of Atilla is in these veins
Meow!
Roam the streets,
Call this land your own
Sarajevo Rose, Sarajevo Rose
They stole a tank
to storm the Capital
Sarajevo Rose, Sarajevo Rose
From this point
There's no middle ground
Sarajevo Rose, Sarajevo Rose
From now on
You're not welcome around
Sarajevo Rose, Sarajevo Rose

A Solitary Rain Cloud

A solitary rain cloud
Up in the sky
You wanna know
The reasons why
I can’t ask much
Except for your touch
When the rain comes down
A little girl is
High up in a tree
When I was young
We couldn’t make believe
But now I know
Where your thoughts flow
Like water from the stream
Leave me in the rain
Today
Just let me go
On my way
That perfume fragrance
Transfigures light
I walk in darkness
Keep me safe at night
I believe in you
I know you'll come through
I know you'll do me right
Night without moonlight
Lonely without you
Is there something in my life
That can make my dreams come true
Is this home ‘cause
I just can’t live alone
Bring me back to you
Leave me in the rain
Today
Just let me go
On my way
Leave me in the rain
Today
Just let me go
On my way

Our Lady of Juarez
Sleeping in the ground tonight
I pray for the ones on the factory floor
and I pray for the ones outside
And I pray for the ones in the border town
By Juarez with no heat at night
Found her body down by the shore
It was torn and mangled and brown
They found her dress at the other shore
It was perfumed, pretty and white
I cried for her killer to turn himself in
I cried, and didn’t sleep that night
I cried and damned God who would let her go
That’ll be no God of mine
“you better hurry up ma’am”
Get home before the dim twilight
And pray for your daughter
And pray for your son
And pray now on Jesus’ eyes
And pray for your brother
Who carried you home
Will the Border Patrol look twice?
You better hurry up, Ma'am
Dead Woman of Juarez, Mexico
No one cared enough to look twice
You left your village for the border town
Told your old Mother "goodbye"
You left your home for the shanty down
By Juarez with no heat at night
Will you sleep in a gutter?
Will you sleep in a hole?
Will you sleep in a shelter?
Will you sleep at all?
Will you sleep with the mister?
Will you sleep by his side?
Where will you be tonight?
Will you sleep in a gutter?
Will you sleep in a hole?
Will you sleep in a shelter?
Will you sleep at all?
Will you sleep with the mister?
Will you sleep by his side?
Where will you be tonight?
