A New Friend A Valentine's Day party, I didn't think you'd show. You don't like making entrances alone. You've got a new friend. You've got a new friend. Likes to go to movies. Likes to drink red wine. Sounds familiar, better hold on tight: A film school drunk can be so hard to find. You got a new friend. You got a new friend. And the two of you don't ever seem to part You got a new friend ooh. You got a new friend, now I'm the odd man gone. You got a new friend. You got a new friend, I know. And your mom's got you convinced that he's the one. He's all you need, so forget me marry him at once. But if you ever change your mind I could still buy that box of wine. I still have your copy of Harold and Maude. But you got a new friend. Yeah, you got a new friend.

Hey, mister, got a road map? I'm kinda lost Gotta get to Georgia tonight Don't care what it costs Been down in Denver jail for four long years And I'm so homesick I could die Got a sweet woman back home Waitin there for me Least in all her letters, Lord She said she'd be Waitin there with open arms Born new life for me And I'm so homesick I could die Shot a man in Denver Over some money owed So she told me That I had to go But I paid my time And a new life is gonna be mine And a new life is gonna be mine

We're sailing on a strange boat Heading for a strange shore We're sailing on a strange boat Heading for a strange shore Carrying the strangest cargo That was ever hauled aboard We're sailing on a strange sea Blown by a strange wind We're sailing on a strange sea Blown by a strange wind Carrying the strangest crew That ever sinned We're riding in a strange car We're following a strange star We're climbing on the strangest ladder That was ever there to climb We're living in a strange time Working for a strange goal We're living in a strange time We're working for a strange goal We're turning flesh and body Into soul

I have heard the big music And I'll never be the same Something so pure Just called my name I have drowned in the big sea Now I find I'm still alive And I'm coming up for ever Shadows all behind me, ecstacy to come I have Climbed the big tree Touched the big sky I just stuck my hand up in the air And everything came into colour Like Jazz mana from sweet, sweet chariots I have seen the big mountain And I swear I'm halfway there (You'll never get there, you'll never get there, you'll never get there) But I will, I will always climb the mountain Because... I have heard the big music And I'll never be the same Something so pure Has called my name

Come here Her communique arrived with its expression of her feeling I swear I had no idea she'd been holding in conceiling Such a storm of words unsaid Though absurd as it appears Had been blowing in her head For twenty-seven years I knew I had to face her so I grabbed my Davey Crocket Threw a scarf around my neck And twenty Dollars in my pocket Found her in the same old place Pamflet in her fist When she saw my windblown face Well look at who it is Meet me on the mad parade When the midnight bells are chiming We'll dress up as the harlequin and the clown Pile up all the wonders that we've made In a tower too tall for climbing And we'll burn the damn thing down In the great November lake she was older still alluring Her hair grey and longer than it ever had been during The days we loved an slept In her bed of faded wood In the little place she kept In a crumbling neighbourhood We walked along a while Like we were old companions But I could feel the gap between us Yawning like a canian She with her church and code Her extravagant believes Me a creature of the road A child of dust and grief Meet me on the mad parade When the midnight bells are chiming We'll dress up as the harlequin and the clown Pile up all the wonders that we've made In a tower too tall for climbing And we'll burn the damn thing down She smoked a cigarette and blew smoke rings at the ceiling Said if you're problem is long standing man Why don't you try kneeling Now your face I see you're still a sinner in the mist Setting up your little will Is king in place of His I said I've heard about sin Down the long wheels of ages I cracked books of lies With a thousand twisted pages Then I looked her in the eye And asked her clear and plane If your religion was a lie Then what would remain Se said if God looked beaten hard To loving hands to heal it There's nothing in my day that I ain't got strength to deal me I said darling I confess The same things applies to me As for all the rest We agreed to disagree Meet me on the mad parade When the midnight bells are chiming We'll dress up as the harlequin and the clown Pile up all the wonders that we've made In a tower too tall for climbing And we'll burn the damn thing down Yes we'll burn the damn thing down

I'm still a freak, I never went straight I kept my appointment with fate And like every human being that was ever born I'm unique Things disappear, but I'm still here I'm still a freak I'm still a head and I'm doing fine I can hear your voice in my mind You ain't singing my praises now honey Do it when I'm dead I'm not bitter but I'm no quitter I'm still a head I'm still awake, I knew all along If you ain't crazy there's something wrong And there's no such thing as a coincidence Or a mistake And all this confusion is all just illusion I'm still awake I'm still a freak, I ain't been gagged I'm still flying the flag The game's movin' so fast, who knows where it's gonna Be this time next week! Empires rise and fall, but through it all I'm still a freak!

I'm gonna look twice at you Until I see the Christ in you I'm gonna look twice at you Until I see the Christ in you When I'm lookin' through the eyes of love When I'm lookin' through the eyes of love When I'm lookin' through the eyes of love When I'm lookin' through the eye I'm gonna look twice at you Until I see the Christ in you I'm gonna look twice at you Until I see the Christ in you When I'm lookin' through the eyes of love When I'm lookin' through the eyes of love When I'm lookin' through the eyes of love When I'm lookin' through the eye-eye-eye I'm gonna look twice at you Until I see the Christ in you I'm gonna look twice at you Until I see the Christ in you
