I know what they're saying about you

ASK THE ANGELS
[Originally by Patti Smith]

Moooooove! Ask the angels who they're calling,
Go ask the angels if they're calling to thee
Ask the angels while they're falling
Who that person could possibly be

And I know you got the feeling,
You know, I feel it crawl across the floor
And I know it got you reelin'
And honey honey the call is for war
And it's wild wild wild wild.

Everybody got the feelin'
You know the feeling and it's stronger each day
Everybody wants to be reelin'
And baby baby I'll show you the way

And I know it's hard sometimes,
You got a piece and hit across the sky
And I know it's hard sometimes
And world war is the battle cry
And it's wild wild wild wild

Across the country through the fields
You know I see it written 'cross the sky
People rising from the highway
And war war is the battle cry
And it's wild wild wild wild.

Armageddon, it's gotten
No savior jailer can take it from me
World ending, it's just beginning
And rock and roll is what I'm born to be
And it's wild wild wild wild
Wild wild wild wild (x3)

Ask the angels if they're startin' to move
Comin' in droves in from L.A.
Ask the angels if they're starting to groove
Lightning as armor and it's today
It's wild wild wild wild
Wild wild wild wild (x3)

OLDSCRATCH

here's the chance to express your liberty
noone but you can know what stepping down can mean
despotic leader kills the bravest traitor on the street

but keep the faith they say they'll free us from our pain
they sell you a religious escapade
you join the church and they take your life away

shameless money eat your money eat your vultures quick
but keep the faith, they say they'll free us from our pain
but your liberty is exchanged I said your liberty is exchanged

GIRLFIXER

no more coquettish look on your face
not so much pretty ugly but youre in your place
hide behind your man don't dare to think for you
keep your claws off me as I walk on through, don't you glare

I won't be through til youre blue

damn man come on and sell your seconds
no one can make ya make ya break ya
anyway I will break ya, they'll crown me

never used to harm noone no matter what the reason
now you drug your grave and its bitch hunting season
smiling madly honey when I see you
around biding my time till I can get you on the ground
it's not my plan to steal your man
it's a pitiful sight thats hard to stand
I guess I don't get a clue
so just step your ass aside and let me walk on fucking through

damn man come on and sell your second
no one can make you do anything
anyway anyway ill make you they'll crown me

RED CARPET AND REBELLION

red carpet and rebellion
makes ya wonder at these established ones
they ain't out to get ya
cause your a mile ... away

I heard a siren, a city warning, they said a new
dawn arrives in the morning ... so I wait out tonight
for the, the new sunrise
they laid me to rest with an an aberration
I woke up the living dead colossally mistaken
I ran through the streets and I broke down

there ain't no money there ain't no time
yeah I'm outta my mind don't wanna waste this away
I feel ashamed when I am and shamed when I'm not
the configuration of the american dream

the palace dialed in the streets were burning
the red horizon came crashing through the morning
there was no contentment only blood shed
red blood and social discontent bruised by puritan
oh puritan exempt it's like a peasant uprising

st petersburg, 1905
father garpan led the protest ... up inside ... up inside
we are gone we are gone we are gone

I'll run a mile till I find a hung jury
where there is red carpet there is rebellion
red carpet and rebellion
makes ya wonder why they smell so bad
they ain't out to get ya cause your a mile away

COLOSSUS USA

whatcha live for when you noone
what ya do and where ya come from

a certain disconnection
dissapated understanding

seems like second slitting
in a third world company

I know what you wanted
I know that you want it, want it

well hell yeah
don't walk away
don't walk away
don't walk away

shit

I met a man on the street
he said this is poverty
down-town on broadway st.
I don't really know his name
he said live in the world not for gain

I know what you want, hey
I know that you want it, want it
I know what you wanted
I know that you want it...

THE BLACKEST YEARS

oh berlin your heart has been drawn and quartered again
the east and the west were divided by a wall
that staunched their freedom... well the wall came
down in 1989 but its ghost still refuses to leave
these hauntings are so reputative
there's a bit of you in me... let's go
oh berlin your life is on fire it burns deep within
this heart of mine
you got astronamical, economical, suffering for a century
and when the ocean swells that day I'll get on my ship
and I'll sail away all this shit I'm on this ship

and when you're all alone don't forget me
cause when I'm all alone I won't forget you
when youre all alone don't forget me cause im
on the wrong side of the tracks

but I did not know until you turned youre back
I'm living the blackest years of my life
but I did not know until you said goodbye... goodbye

oh berlin your witness stands here
oh this city shamed kinda day... I'm going home heyhey

when you're all alone don't forget me

I did not know until you turned your back
I'm living the blackest years of my life
I did not know until you said goodbye
goodbye!
