1
This is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life
2
(Our elected representatives are the frontlines of making the decisions
3
about the war we're waging against terrorist
4
and about rebuilding New York
5
And there's nothing like it
6
We don't want anyone to feel in a week or two or a month
7
that the enormity of this somehow could be gotten over
8
We can keep going and we will but...)
9
Waiting for the snow to fall a cloudy angel wept
10
And while the world was frenzied, by my fate I overslept
11
Hold your breath, these acts are frozen and embraced
12
With the gut-twisting feeling of a black and white mosaic
13
Today Manhattan burned and summer leaves without a trace
14
Besides a cloud of smoke and sour smell in outer space
15
Without a face I hate you
16
Today I was instructed how to hate but then remembered how to pray too
17
I kneel enforcing nine commandments
18
Scratch one and let it sleep on the crescent moon like a hammock
19
Align the sky with fireflies and crooked-eyed soldiers
20
The morning dew is fearsome while the Bush is iced over
21
The cushions lie holding souls of man-made ghosts
22
Cascades of darkness keep the lamp shades closed
23
Crickets even whisper for September 11th
24
I eavesdrop and hope to hear footsteps from heaven
25
[CHORUS]
26
When moonlight french-kisses the Manhattan midnight
27
There's not a face without a tear drop that's in sight
28
Midnights in Manhattan keep me dreamin
29
I caught a dream by the tail, I think I'm gonna keep it
30
This is the first time I've ever hated something through the night
31
The first time I've ever loved this country in my life
32
Hibernate for days and leave the nest to touch rain
33
Stretch across the world and feel my bib of bloodstains
34
Talkin to the icicles hangin from the clouds
35
Purple moon dust vapor strangle for the proud
36
I'm dyslexic reading minds of those computed
37
Who saw an angel-kissed urban rose and chose to shoot it
38
Notes for students of the Blitzkrieg, Polish torture
39
I got a heart for you that grows inside my olive orchard
40
I understand a lot of spirits on remote control
41
Mislead youth grew with charred and broken souls
42
Damn I'm speechless, dreamin of the somber, sandy beaches
43
Where I can drift away from suits and ties repairing demons
44
Where I can fly from corporate crashed and buried kingdoms
45
And hold my hand to God but do more than barely reach him
46
[CHORUS]
47
Blow a kiss to the rain clouds while I rest in bed
48
If I give blood now I might have less to shed
49
If I shed blood proud, is my spirit in agreement?
50
Will I be dying for a reason that I do agree with?
51
Freedom is a teardrop with legs like a centipede
52
That walks out of God's eyes when I fight or sit and bleed
53
I could sit stone-cold and panic in stride
54
Plant it inside to hide away until the planets collide
55
Of course, of course, of course, I grab my sleeping pillow
56
And creep to steal to eat a still life self-reflecting weep and willow
57
This is not the time for music, it's not the time for movement
58
It's not the time for pushing all the people I'm unglued with
59
It's not the time for birth of glory
60
It's not the time for purgatory
61
It's not the time for murder stories
62
It's not the time for keeping peace or cleaning your knives
63
It's a time to figure out the meaning of life
64
And that's it
65
[CHORUS]
