Pariah Posted May 16 Author Report Share Posted May 16 I have a smile Stretched from ear to ear To see you walking down the road We meet at the lights I stare for a while The world around us disappears It's just you and me On my island of hope A breath between us could be miles Let me surround you My sea to your shore Let me be the calm you seek Oh and every time I'm close to you There's too much I can't say And you just walk away And I forgot To tell you I love you And the night's Too long And cold here Without you I grieve in my condition For I cannot find the words to say I need you so Oh and every time I'm close to you There's too much I can't say And you just walk away And I forgot To tell you I love you And the night's Too long And cold here Without you I grieve in my condition For I cannot find the words to say I need you so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted May 16 Author Report Share Posted May 16 The breakers roar on an unseen shore In the teeth of a hurricane Oh we struggle in vain A hellish night - a ghostly light Appears through the driving rain Salvation in a human chain All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary Of a miracle too good to be true All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary 'Cause sometimes the target is you Driven aground, with that awful sound Drowned by the cheer from ashore Oh we wonder what for The people swarm through the darkling storm Gather everything they can score 'Til their backs won't bear any more All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary Of a miracle too good to be true All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary 'Cause sometimes the target is you The breakers roar on an unseen shore In the teeth of an icy grave In the teeth of an icy grave Oh the human chain leaves a bloody stain Washed away in the pounding waves Washed away in the pounding waves All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary Of a miracle too good to be true All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary 'Cause sometimes the target is you All I know is that memory can be too much to carry Striking down like a bolt from the blue All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary 'Cause sometimes the target is you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted May 19 Author Report Share Posted May 19 At the tender age of three I was hooked to a machine Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk, ha Must have took me for a fool 'Cause they chucked me out of school 'Cause the teacher knew I had the funk But tonight I'm on the edge You better shut me in the fridge 'Cause I'm burning up, I'm burning up With the vision in my brain And the music in my veins And the dirty rhythm in my blood They are messing with my heart And they're messing with my heart And they're messing with my heart Won't stop messing with my Oh, ripping me apart!

Pariah Posted May 22 Author Report Share Posted May 22 The man outside he works for me, his name is Mariano He cuts and trims the grass for me he makes the flowers bloom He says that he comes from a place not far from Guanajuato That's two days on a bus from here, a lifetime from this room I fix his meals and talk to him in my old broken Spanish He points at things and tells me names of things I can't recall Sometimes I just can't but help but wonder who this man is And if when he is gone will he'll remember me at all I watch him close, he works just like a piston in an engine He only stops to take a drink and smoke a cigarette When the day is ended, I look outside my window There on the horizon, Mariano's silhouette He sits upon a stone in a south-easterly direction I know my charts I know that he is thinking of his home I've never been the sort to say I'm in to intuition But I swear I see the faces of the ones he calls his own Their skin is brown as potter's clay, their eyes void of expression Their hair is black as widow's dreams, their dreams are all but gone They're ancient as a vision of a sacrificial virgin Innocent as crying from a baby being born They hover around a dying flame and pray for his protection Their prayers are all but answered by his letters in the mail He sends them colored figures that he cuts from strips of paper And all his weekly wages, saving nothing for himself It's been a while since I have seen the face of Mariano The border guards they came one day and took him far away I hope that he is safe down there at home in Guanajuato I worry though, I read there's revolution every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted May 22 Author Report Share Posted May 22 Me and the boys, we cinched up our saddles And rode to Sonora last night Gun's hanging proud, daring out loud For any one looking to fight Card cheats and rustlers would run for their holes When the boys from the old broken O Rode up and reigned on the street that they named Sonora's death row Mescal is free at Amanda's saloon For the boys from the old broken O Saturday nights in the town of Sonora Are the best in all Mexico They've got guitars and trumpets and sweet senoritas Who won't want to let you go You'd never believe such a gay happy time On the street called Sonora's death row Inside Amanda's we was a dancin' With all of Amanda's gals I won some silver at seven card stud So I was outdoin' my pals But the whiskey and mescal, peso cigars Drove me outside for some air Somebody whispered "Your life or your money" I reached but my gun wasn't there I woke up face down in Amanda's back alley Aware of the fool I had been Rushed to my pony, grabbed my Winchester And entered Amanda's again Where I saw my partners twirling my pistols And throwing my money around Blinded by anger, I jacked the lever And one of them fell to the ground Amanda's got silent like night in the desert My friends stared in pure disbelief Amanda was kneeling beside the dead cowboy Plainly expressing her grief And as I bowed my head a tremble shot through me My six-gun was still at my side I felt my pockets, there was my money I fell to my knees and I cried A nightmare of mescal is all that it was For no one had robbed me at all I wish I was dreaming the sound of the gallows They're testing just outside the wall The mescal's still free at Amanda's saloon For the boys from the old Broken O I'd give a ransom to drink there today And be free of Sonora's death row I'd give a ransom to drink there today And be free of Sonora's death row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be drowning in the shallows with the beach so near at hand Hear the voice say stand up, get up and join me on the gilded sand Come and join me on the beach with all the riches I can hold Cause I'm a beggar, and I'm sitting on a beach of gold Oh lord, I'm a poor man with all the riches I can hold I'm a beggar, I'm sitting on a beach of gold My children my salvation the father to this man They're my teachers playing on the golden sand With my family all around me, I've all the riches I can hold I'm a beggar sitting on a beach of gold Oh lord, I'm a poor man with all the riches I can hold I'm a beggar sitting on a beach of gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
