Rickie Lee Jones - Altar boy

Tekst :

A monk with a hard on in a lavender robe
That scratches his thighs for the height that he strode
As he follows a path filled with harried desire
And mimics his footsteps and sets his prayers on fire
Glad to have chosen that which left no choice
To sing without loving in a solitary voice
To observe with passion each careful denial
The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while

Sometimes I see you eating berries and weeds
You re brushing your teeth with licorice seeds
Standing too close, holding your clothes
Smiling at God, the meaning of life grows
No, no I ll never tell and I ll never know
What candles you light after the show
And I ll never tell and I ll never ask
The meaning of life after mass

    Taking it global

    This is how the flow goes
    The flow goes from my
    head to my lips
    From my lips to the mic
    From the mic to the dat
    From the dat to the
    wax to the DJ’s
    Then shit spreads like anthrax
    Once it’s popping ain’t no
    way you can stop...

    Surrender

    As I watch the week played from my memory
    I can t believe I let this go
    The innocence is losing cover
    Witing for surrender of this tyranny
    I guess you reap what you sow
    And there s no shame in starting over

    It could take some time for me...

    Smile

    Smile though your heart is aching
    Smile even though it s breaking
    When there are clouds in the sky, you ll get by
    If you smile through your fear and sorrow
    Smile and maybe tomorrow
    You ll see the sun come shining through for you...

    Right here

    You don t ever wanna see my face again
    But inside you know that it s never gonna end

    Bitter memories tell me
    You can t help yourself
    For hurting me again
    But I can rationalize
    You re different
    Cos you...

    Abschied

    Das Abendrot schwankt trauervoll
    Sag mir wie ich dich lassen soll
    Sag mir wie ich Vergessen finde
    Und mit ihm trauerlosen Schlaf
    Sag mir wie ich mich dir entwinde
    Der ich so ganz und gar bedarf

    Du sprichst die Bitte würdevoll
    Sagst...
