Ice Flows
On a Roll
It was winter and I was just rolling on ice
Following the ice flow through the frozen lights
And you were still on my mind
As though I'd left you behind
You know you can scream forever and only hear the wind
It takes all your anger away and leaves you alone in the cold
And love, it seems to be near; pulling the heart that here
I always knew I could never go back
Knowing the feeling would never return
It gets cold here at night when the air starts to freeze
And when the sun is down there's no reason to be
Afraid of something that's gone
And I, just keep moving on.
Green Cadillac
Well my baby just love my Green Cadillac
But she won't love me till I get it back
They took it away yesterday, and she said bye-bye today
So please Lord get me back, my green Cadillac
Well you see my baby's gonna be a star
And she needs, she needs a cool flashy car
But with nothing to drive, my sweet loving baby just won't arrive
So please Lord get me back ,y cool Cadillac
I know she don't love me, she just loves my car
But that don't bug me unless she tries to go too far
So I try to stay cool and not end up playing the fool if I can help it
Well my baby just loves my green Cadillac
With its plush green carpet and its stereo 8-track
Opera windows and tinted glass and handles made of solid brass
Oh please please get me back, my green Cadillac
Well my baby just loves my green Cadillac
But now that I have it I don't want her back
I got it back yesterday and I said bye-bye today
And thank you Lord for my green Cadillac.
Whitelight
Idle at work, boy, does it matter? Living on hopes of breaking away
Finding my nights strangled by boredom, falling for you went so very smooth
To burn in the whitelight; to burn
But callousness lives with the light of tomorrow
Too right it seems was the way that we were
You faded away and I slept with sorrow
Reliving the days when love spelled your name
To die in the whitelight; to die
Wrapped tight in that dream, this prisoner wandered
Blinded by pain with nowhere to go
Someday, somewhere it will all pan out
Meantime I'll wait and try not to scream
To scream in the whitelight;screaming for you.
I Remember
I know a lady, summer blows through her hair
And her warmth calls to tell me, there's no need to despair
I see her smiling, feel the pain disappear
I love for her friendship, it's my vision she clears
In that moment that I feel her I am free
And the silence sounds much sweeter when you're free
Inspiration, this is all that I ask
forgive me my failures to give up the past
Too long have I harbored the burnout, the fool
My brothers in sadness who said love isn't true
In your laughter I have seen them turn and go
Someday you may know me, see the things that I do
Feel the love in this song, this is my gift to you.
Down Here
I'm taking a walk downtown; I'm checking out the face
I don't know a soul down here; that's what I like
I'm doing the block to block, noticing those strange little changes
Like from rich to poor; uptown to downtown
Some guy says; "Hey, buddy; you watch you step down here!"
I'm getting a soup and sandwich, checking out the waitresses
Some don't want to give you the time of day, but don't forget to tip
I think I'll stroll the park, lay out on the grass
Check out the boys in the parking lot; from a distance
Some guy says, "Hey, buddy; you watch your step down here!"
Some guy says, "Hey man; I need a dollar!"
I want to say, "Get a job!", but I give him a buck anyway; I've heard those stories
I gonna head back home now; I've had myself dome fun
Before someone notices I'm from out of town
Some guy says, "Hey, buddy, you watch your step down here!".
Anthems to Glory
It time to move, don't you see it; it's time to go, don't you know it
Time to move on!
I've been walking the line between people and things
Looking in eyes, plugging in names
Jesus is dying just look at his face
Listening to preachers; the word of God
Gracious words and pointy fingers; this is the way to salvation, this is the way to utter damnation
This is the way we sell our god
It time to move, don't you see it; it's time to go, don't you know it (I don't want to run)
Time to move on!
Say it's love and I'll believe you; tell me this will save our race
Give the world our precious children, let them take our special place
Tell all about their leaders, show them it's the price they pay for love and freedom and what you say
It's the American way
Love will save us
Let's make it seem as if a joke or some new fashion round our throats
A moment's pleasure, a moment's good; life is so misunderstood
Lets make it easy, make it clean
Clear the slate and so it'll seem that nothing bad will come again
And we will breathe our little sighs and in our minds we won't ask why
One lives while another dies
It time to move, don't you see it; it's time to go, don't you know it (I don't want to run)
Time to move on!
