Bang Bang 07:04
She woke me up with a bang, bang Looking over cross-eyed Had a big hunch that the world was a big lie When I got up all the blood to my head I got so dizzy fell back into my bed I went over to the way side Looking for the high tide What will I find, will I find, will I find, find? All I saw was a man that had a hat that had a pom-pom He's been there for years Can someone tell me how long Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me What I could not find Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me What I could not find You see this woman woke me up At a quarter to three And I didn't know it then But she put a spell on me Said, "I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea And meet an old man to present my plea So I headed way down to the big pier (the big pier) To await and confront my big fear (my big fear) I wheeled around behind to my blindside To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye Said, "Mister, mister, with your beard so long Won't you be a saint and tell me Just where I'm going." He pointed to a conch shell and then to the lime And said, "This is all I really need to get by." Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me What I could not find Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me What I could not find Hey, mister man I know you don't know Who you think I, think I am But I can safely say, That I should've been sleeping, been sleeping, been sleeping, been sleeping the day away (someone pull down the shade) I said, "'scuse me, have you got the time?" He shrugged his shoulders Said, "Get a spine. Coconut hit me on the head Jonesin' for a fig I got booked last night I need another fix, dick." Just then I see a twinkle twinkle in the old man's eye And a wave tossed bottle is thrown to the sky I caught it on the rebound It landed with a soft sound I took out the message, Put the bottle down Inside was the antidote to the spell And I read it to the man 'Cause he couldn't read so well Said, "Don't worry about a thing You know your path is true Just ease your mind Have a banana or two." Well, goodness, goodness, woe is me The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free But just before we left and started kicking it I picked up the bottle and star sixed it Kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach If that woman comes to you with her song so sweet, Say, "Damn! Let the poor sucker sleep." Let him sleep Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me What I could not find Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me What I could not find

Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye Taizofara naye fara naye Taizofara naye fara naye Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye Taizofara naye fara naye Taizofara naye fara naye Kwaziwai? Kwaziwai? Makasimba, here? Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo Ndakasimba, Ndakasimba, Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo You raise your head, you beat the sun But your boys they lie so close to you Do you dare get up and wake the two Oh, Elias, I see you there at work in the day time Do you think you answer all the questions in the world In just one word, I think you could Cause if you die will I get word that you're gone Or will I hear it in passing conversation Or will I stop short and fall to the ground Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found Hold my hand just one more time To see if you're really going to meet me Hold my hand just one more time To see if you're really going to meet me Hold my hand just one more time To see if you're really going to meet me Honest and Manuel, well they're at school now Given the chance that their father's never seen To see what's beyond section 17 And in ten years when you look back at your boys Well you know they're grown way taller than the tallest Sugar cane in the field Cause if you die will I get word that you're gone Or will I hear it in passing conversation Or will I stop short and fall to the ground Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found Hold my hand just one more time To see if you're really going to meet me Hold my hand just one more time To see if you're really going to meet me Hold my hand just one more time To see if you're really going to meet me I see your wife she stands stooped over by the fire outside And I see your boys and when they look up You know I think they got their mother's eyes Cause she looks so proud, she looks so happy She looks so proud, she looks so happy Cause if you die will I get word that you're gone Or will I hear it in passing conversation Or will I stop short and fall to the ground Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found Hold my hand just one more time To see if you're really going to meet me Hold my hand just one more time To see if you're really going to meet me Hold my hand just one more time To see if you're really going to meet me

The river of doubt gave birth to a beautiful stone And in my hands I held it and I knew I was on my own So I picked it up and held it to the sky And in my reflection I knew I was all alone Yeah (yeah) Then I saw this girl with the most beautiful hair She had it wrapped around her, for clothes she did not wear I asked her for a lock and she complied, after leaving Gorgeous footsteps in the sand as if she didn't care Well, she was the prettiest girl I ever saw The stone lay still without a flaw The feelings I had defied the law As I came to, I went to And I took a look, a look down the road To see a badger and a one-eyed toad They didn't say a word they just looked at me With that wise old look of the old (Yeah wise old look of the old) Yeah Then I went down to town To my favorite merry-go-round To the place where magic hoses fly And you seldom see a frown But then I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now (It's all rusty) You see 'cause that stone fell though my pocket And that lock of hair flew away with the wind If you chance to meet upon either Well you know where they've been But don't pick them up or try to find me They're much happier to be on their own Beauty like that knows no home And if you take a look, a look down the road You'll see a badger and a one-eyed toad They won't say a word they'll just look at you With that wise old look of the old (Hey yeah, wise old look of the old, hey yeah) Yeah but then I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now I stole a ring from the flying horses And I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses And it's all rusty now

I walk down the road looking for my tribunal Like tom and huck stumbling down the aisle of their own funeral Please goddess of the road, get me on my way You see my love just left me so I’m on my own And my heart’s banged up looking for a foster home The highway moon is getting me dizzy I see a mirage of medusa, A top of an Appaloosa, what I wouldn’t do to be with you and your caboosa Whispering to Mr. beck now who’s the real loser Here come again the midnight Lorry, I think I might be moving along There’s a lot of places I got to get to, I know you’re out there but I never even met you Take me to the land of no worry and then I‘ll just keep playing this song Mr. Driver I hear the music playin’ and I see the lights, Will you throw me a ride A PYT ushers me back to the rear I haven’t been many places and i definitely haven’t been here To think i was just a lonely soul in the cold with my thumb out Now I’m rolling a smoke and being told to stick my tongue out We bounced and blared and so did the Lorry She teased my hair and held me close with a story Of rag tag visions as the moonlight poured in Second star to the right and straight on til’ morning Here come again the midnight Lorry, I think I might be moving along There’s a lot of places I got to get to, I know you’re out there but I never even met you Take me to the land of no worry and then I‘ll just keep playing this song Mr. Driver I hear the music playin’ and I see the lights, Will you throw me a ride Looking at her face was like looking at the sun She said you can’t ask of everybody what you don’t ask of one Either way, we got today and that’s all we may be allowed I know that if we hold it together, There’s real love we can bring about Here come again the midnight Lorry, I think I might be moving along There’s a lot of places I got to get to, I know you’re out there but I never even met you Take me to the land of no worry and then I’ll just keep playing this song Mr. Driver I hear the music playin and I see the lights, Will you throw me a ride

my dear old friend, it’s you we need there’s blood in the gutters, and fear in the street how long can we fight for a change that never comes in some ways it’s the same, but tonight the crowd they came fists in the air, candles and vigils, cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes but how long’s it been since you been outside how long’s it been since you open your eyes cuz I've been to the line, and it’s all right there and I cannot wait to get on from here arms bent back and black jack welt involuntary tears and the tears we felt does it always have to get worse before it gets better Virgil Caine where are you now did they bury the hate when they buried the south you got to tell the spirits mystics of tomorrow
