No One Wanders Forever

You follow your footsteps into Palestine
You follow your footsteps, you follow mine
You know it's a lonely place to go
And so you go
I went in search of peace, but I found none
I found a broken man, of barely twenty-one
Who said that he saw roses in his thorns
His skin was torn
And you know you may never make it home
With your gun, your lips burnt by the sun
You're scared, but not of being alone
It's the night as black and thick as opium
The stars they sing for you, though out of key
The stars, they sing for you, no, they never sang for me
Like jewels too precious to be worn. What are they for?
And the freedom of the desert is an endless cage
Like a writer with a pencil and an empty page
You don't know exactly where to go
So you just go...
And you know you may never make it home
With your sanity intact and shine able to show
Unless you give it all away
Declare, "My lord, I'm home to stay."
And you know you may never make it home
With your gun, your lips burnt by the sun
Unless you give it all away
Declare, "My lord, I'm home to stay."
Declare, "My lord, I'm home to stay."
Declare, "My lord, I'm home to stay."

Step through another door
Blow your mind on the floor
You always wanted to be everywhere
Now you are there and you are everywhere
Held you in my hand
I watched you disappear from this foreign land
Only hope that you'll be happier
Only hope that you are happy, yeah
As you fly into the wind
(family darling home with your friends)
Into the air, and with your friends
Oh, you fly into my heart
(family darling home with your friends)
There'll be a song for you
And that's a start
Your smell on a pillowcase
As I stare into outer-space
Broken like a fabric worn too thin
What once was fine is now a skeleton
Know I should feel worse
But your free finally from your curse
No one's ever gonna touch you now
No one's ever gonna touch you now
As you fly into the wind
(family darling home with your friends)
Into the air hang out with your friends
Oh, you fly into my heart
(family darling home with your friends)
There'll be a place for you
And that's a start
That's a start
That's a start
That's a start
Step through another door
Blow your mind out on the floor
You always wanted to be everywhere
Now you're there and you are everywhere
As you fly into the wind
(family darling home with your friends)
Into the air hang out with your friends
Oh, you fly into my heart
(family darling home with your friends)
There'll be a song for you
And that's a start
Oh, you fly into the wind
(family darling home with your friends)
Into the air hang out with your friends
And, you fly into my heart
(family darling home with your friends)
There'll be a place for you
And that's a start
That's a start

Hot Mods

Sitting up, up on the hillside
Drinking red wine from the bottle
Reflecting on the city lights
Reflecting on your future
Kid, you've got no future
Oh, kid, you've got no future
The parties are all getting started
Before this night's through you'll be broken-hearted
She'll walk on you 'till your black and blue
Because your affection is affliction and don't you dare fall in love with a hot mod?
'Cause what's love to a hot mod?
What's love to a hot mod?
Playing hearts over in the corner
While everyone dances to the radio rhythms
And waves, radio waves wash over you like happiness
But what's happiness to kid with no future,
Counting down the days till the end of summer
Sitting on a stoop with a brown paper bag
And telling old stories cause it's all that you have
Walking through the night like you own this city
And waking up depressed because you feel so shitty
Oh, you're leading a charmed life
Yeah, you're leading a charmed life
You gotta target on your chest
Compassion in the age of cruelty never seemed so useless
You better ask yourself
If it isn't you is gonna have to be someone else?
Yeah.

I'm riding the bus, I'm writing a note
Wishing this moment would never end
I am so happy just to be alive
When yesterday I only wanted to die
Goodnight is the last thing I want to hear
The birds in the sky and a six-pack of beer
And your eyes and your eyes and your eyes
Are all that I need to survive
Where we be in ten years time
I don't care to think about it now
Oh, will we be neighbors
Or distant friends?
The kind that never call or write letters?
I want you, I want you, I want you so bad
I want you, I want you, I want you so bad
I want you everyday
I want you, I want you, I want you so bad
To stay
I love you, there I said it
And I don't care if you don't love me back
'Cause if you want leave me
And take all my friends
And leave me in the street with nothing
Then I will have known the sweetest love of them all
Unselfish, unconscious, consuming total
The kind that don't need qualifying in anyway
'Cause if you wanted to leave me, I know it would remain
