Agents of fortune

Feeling easy on the outside

But not so funny on the inside

Feel the sound, pray for rain

For this is the night we ride



This ain't the garden of eden

There ain't no angels above

And things ain't like what they used to be

And this ain't the summer of love



Lock all your doors from the outside

The key will dangle by the inside

You may begin to understand

That this is the night we ride



This ain't the garden of eden

There ain't no angels above

And things ain't like what they used to be

And this ain't the summer of love



On the night we ride...this ain't the summer of love.



This ain't the garden of eden

There ain't no angels above

And things ain't like what they used to be

And this ain't the summer of love

This ain't the summer, this ain't, this ain't

This ain't the summer of love

True, true confessions, I lied

True, true confessions, I lied

Spent all night with candy's eyes

Dragged myself cross the warm blind side

Spent all night with candy's eyes

Dragged myself cross the warm blind side



True, true confession, she cried

True, true confession, she cried

Stand in the doorway in a jealous rage

Drag myself cross her wild terrain

Stand in the doorway in a jealous rage

Drag myself cross her wild terrain



True, true confessions, we tried

True, true confessions, we tried

Naked, exposed like fine rock-n-roll

Perfect as strangers, imperfect as love

Naked, exposed like fine rock-n-roll

Perfect as strangers, imperfect as love

We're never sorry, we're never sad

We're modern lovers, what fun we had

All our times have come

Here but now they're gone

Seasons don't fear the reaper

Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are

Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper

We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper

Baby I'm your man...



Valentine is done

Here but now they're gone

Romeo and Juliet

Are together in eternity...Romeo and Juliet

40,000 men and women everyday...Like Romeo and Juliet

40,000 men and women everyday...Redefine happiness

Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are

Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper

We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper

Baby I'm your man...



Love of two is one

Here but now they're gone

Came the last night of sadness

And it was clear she couldn't go on

Then the door was open and the wind appeared

The candles blew then disappeared

The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid

Come on baby...and she had no fear

And she ran to him...then they started to fly

They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are

She had taken his hand...she had become like they are

Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

I hear the music, daylight disc

Three men in black said, "Don't report this"

"Ascension," and that's all they said

Sickness now, the hour's dread



All praise

He's found the awful truth, Balthazar

He's found the saucer news



I'm in fairy rings and tower beds

"Don't report this," three men said

Books by the blameless and by the dead

King in yellow, queen in red



All praise

He's found the awful truth, Balthazar

He's found the saucer news



Dead leaves always give up motion

I no longer feel the motion

Where prophecy fails, the falling motion

"Don't report this, agents of fortune"



All praise

He's found the awful truth, Balthazar

He's found the saucer news

You're boned like a saint

With the consciousness of a snake



You're the kind of girl

I'd like to find

Face like an angel

But you're boned like the devil



Your eyes have shifted from me

Everyone saw what you did

You have slipped from beneath me

Like a false and nervous squid



Oh no more horses horses

We're gonna swim like a fish

Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me

My lovely Vera Marie



You planned to leave me cold

But you'll never get your wish

On the 24th of May

I'll gather up your reins



You filled me with a vengeance

And you touched me with your breath

I'm gonna pull you from this dance

You're gonna ride so easily



Oh no more horses horses

We're gonna swim like a fish

Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me

My lovely Vera Marie



I was your victim

I was well deceived

Hell's built on regret

But I love your naked neck



And evil lies that you told me

Could make me believe your two-faced

Because two faces have you

And they're both gonna go



Oh no more horses horses

We're gonna swim like a fish

Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me

My lovely Vera Gemini

You're over my shoulder, I think I'm possessed

Your constant undertone, is making me toothless

Times come to trim you, gonna get out my knife

Gonna cut you out, baby, out of my life



Dare-devil, she-devil, printer's-devil, evil

I love you like sin, but I won't be your pigeon



The power that I give you, I'm so sick of your voice

In my body, You don't give me no choice

But to boot you, honey, to give you the shove

So take back your despot, I'll keep you love



Dare-devil, she-devil, printer's-devil, evil

I love you like sin, but I won't be your pigeon



I'm searching by symbols, looking for a pistol

To laser you out, it looks like a keyhole

I'll just stick my key back, seamless and whole

No more idols, got my own self control



Dare-devil, she-devil, printer's-devil, evil

I love you like sin, but I won't be your pigeon

I went down last night with a tattoo madam

To a nude dagger fantasy domain

Wrapped in hell, I lost my breath

Chest to stimulating chinese breast



Grisly smiles, that don't flake off

Corny-colored demons leering

Vampire photos, sucking the skin



Seeding the night at the inker's parlor

Flash permabrand pricked for a dollar

Her wrist surreal a heart and flying skull

Lettered "Life and love pass swiftly"



Grisly smiles, that don't flake off

Corny-colored demons leering

Vampire photos, sucking the skin

He cast a grim shadow

Through the busy street

Said he was a junkie

And he punctuated his walk with a gun



Motiveless murder

The papers scream

The cops all said

The crowd was iced by the sight



Oh baby don't it make you feel so bad

Dark clouds are over the street

After what I read, I can hardly feel my heart...

My heart beat



Down the subway stairs

After him they leapt

An echo snap and scream of fire

The hot pursuit was done



For the last time he felt the light

And gave up his last fight



Oh baby don't it make you feel so bad

Dark clouds are over the street

After what I read, I can hardly feel my heart...

My heart beat

I come to you in a blue blue room

By some abuse and some heart

You raise the blinds say, "Let's have light on life,

Let's watch it fall apart.  Let's watch it fall apart."



Night time flowers, evening roses

Bless this garden that never closes

Treat her gently, treat her kind

Tenderloin will last all night



I'm feeling hungry, have another line

So faith is taken up

You raise your eyes say, "That's just like life,

There's never quite enough.  There's just never quite enough."



Night time flowers, evening roses

Bless this garden that never closes

Treat her gently, treat her kind

Tenderloin will last all night



I come to you in a blue blue room

By some abuse and some heart

You raise the blinds say, "Let's have light on life,

Let's watch it fall apart.  Let's watch it fall apart."

She kept the light open, all night long

For me to come home, and sing her my song

Oh Debbie Denise was true to me

She'd wait by the window, so patiently

And I'd come on home with my hair hanging down

She'd pin it up, and softly smile



But I was out rolling with my band

And I was out rolling with my band



I never realized, she was so undone

I didn't suspect she had no life of her own

She was so true but she was a she

She was just there I would just come

Stumbling in she'd show me she'd care

I didn't care cause she was just there



But I was out rolling with my band

And I was out rolling with my band



I wouldn't come home for weeks at a time

She wouldn't accept that she was free

Oh Debbie Denise was true to me

She'd wait by the window so bitterly



Wanting me to come close, I guess I noticed

I couldn't see, so what could I say

That more affection could I show her

I had only one thing on my mind



When I come to her, she'd pin back my hair

And out past the fields out the window I'd stare



Where I was out rolling with my band

I was out rolling with my band
