Break Like the Wind
There's a pulse in the new-born sun; A beat in the heat of noon; There's a song as the day grows long And a tempo in the tides of the moon It's all around us and it's everywhere And it's deeper than Royal blue And it feels so real you can feel the feeling! And that's The Majesty Of Rock! The fantasy of Roll! The ticking of the clock The wailing of the soul! The prisoner in the dock The digger in the hole We're in this together...and ever... In the shade of a jungle glade Or the rush of the crushing street On the plain, on the foamy main You can never escape from the beat It's in the mud and it's in your blood And its conquest is complete And all that you can do is just surrender To the Majesty of Rock! The Pageantry of Roll! The crowing of the cock The running of the foal! The shepherd with his flock The miner with his coal We're in this together...and ever... When we die, do we haunt the sky? Do we lurk in the murk of the seas? What then? Are we born again? Just to sit asking questions like these? I know, for I told me so And I'm sure each of you quite agrees: The more it stays the same, the less it changes! And that's The Majesty Of Rock! The Mystery of Roll! The darning of the sock The scoring of the goal! The farmer takes a wife The barber takes a pole We're in this together...and ever...

When the game has just been lost When the race has all been run When the storm has left your ship well tossed Ignore the coast Get your stars uncrossed Back at square one Just begin again You can always find a way Just begin again No matter what they say Life is just a wheel If it's even real You can rest another day Life is just a meal And you never say when Just begin again People say enough is enough And people say you can't undo what's done People say thе road is just too rough But what do they know? Life is just a show, go reload your gun Just bеgin again Just begin again Make the bastards eat their words Just begin again Like bumblebees and hummingbirds Life is just a dream An unconscious stream A picture, worth five hundred words Rise for you are cream And you can have the strength of ten Don't hope to win Losing is no sin So just dig it in Just begin again Begin again Begin again

Bolder than the pirates who used to rule the sea Braver than the natives who never heard of tea "They never knew what hit them" said the Spaniards later on Empire, it was here and now it's gone Even the biggest elephant never forgets And the sun never sweats, no, the sun never sweats You were younger than a virgin and older than the sea You were angel, you were devil and I was all of me You knew you met your master when I made you stay at home Woman, whatever made you roam? Even the hardest concrete never quite sets And the sun never sweats, no, the sun never sweats Losing is for losers and winners play to win Always love the sinner, you may even like the sin The door that used to open has now closed without a crack Woman, you're like the empire and I still want you back We may be gods or just big marionettes But the sun never sweats Life is a gamble and we're all placing our bets And the sun never sweats, no, the sun never sweats

Here she comes, that rainy day sun Peeking in and out the falling raindrops Smiling down on everyone In her golden, gossamer gown And a necklace of the finest rainbows Drying out this rainy day town Goodbye, cloudy skies Here she comes, here she comes To cut them down to size And fly the tears in my eyes Here she comes that rainy day sun Like a moppet at a birthday party Rainy day's not spoiling her fun Open up the top of your mind Catch the water in your magic paintbox Oh thе many colors you find Goodbye, cloudy skies Herе she comes, here she comes To cut them down to size And dry the tears in my eyes

We are the children who grew too fast We are the dust of a future past We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break like the wind We are the footprints across the sands We are the thumb on a stranger′s hand We made a promise in the night Swearing to heaven Is this a promise we keep Or one we break like the wind We are the guests who have stayed too long We are the end of the endless song We send our hearts into the night Soaring to heaven And will out hearts still beat on Or will they break like the wind Break like the wind Break like the wind Break like the wind Break, break, break Break like the wind

Late afternoon in the open air A human sea made out of mud and hair Ain't nothing like a festival crowd There's too many people, so we play too loud Touch down, plane's on the ground Look for the drummer, he's nowhere around Running late, at least an hour No time to rest, no time to shower Now we're stinkin' up the great outdoors Stinkin' up the great outdoors Stinkin' up the great outdoors But the kids don't mind We had a drink going up in the plane We had another coming down again We had another in thе airport bar And then some homebrеwed stuff in the promoter's car Here we go, on with the show We're bubbling under and we're ready to flow Wound up, turned loose Ain't got the power but we sure got the juice And now we're stinkin' up the great outdoors Stinkin' up the great outdoors Stinkin' up the great outdoors But the kids don't mind We hit the stage with rock and rage And do our best to earn the maximum wage The lights are bullshit, the sound's for the birds Don't know the music and we don't know the words But still we're stinkin' up the great outdoors Stinkin' up the great outdoors Stinkin' up the great outdoors And the kids don't mind

I ride cross the desert on my camel Over hills of sand What's that, I see in the distance? Only hills of sand There is no oasis in sight I'll have to ride through the night If I'm to make Baghdad by light of dawn The sun's not your friend in the desert Like he is at home The wind has a name in the desert (sirocco) But it's barely known, rarely known It's only the hardiest bloom That can blossom in darkest Khartoum So I will just stay in my room, tonight The desert isn't free with her secrets She's a silent bird, quiet bird I asked the Sphinx for the answer It said, "Mums the word" So I'll catch the Zanzibar train And sleep till I'm wakened by rain And I'm back in old England again once more

In a hospital bed on the outskirts of town Lay an old gray man in a soiled white gown His hair was all wispy, his eyes were a blank His breath came in spurts from an oxygen tank The nurse hovered near, and so did the Reaper But which had the number to his private beeper? Shall he lie there forever with a tube up his nose And his peepee and poopoo slipping out through a hose? Or shall he be released to float towards the light? Like a wee, baby doveling or a really good kite Lеt him go! Let him go! It's too late for healing Put an еnd to the pain That we know he is feeling His life is his burden His death is his right Let's send him off gently Into that good night Good night

Well I'm sitting here beside the railroad track And I'm waiting for that train to bring her back If she's not on the five-nineteen Then I'm gonna know what sorrow means And I'm gonna cry, cry, cry All the way home All the way home All the way home Yes I'm gonna cry, cry, cry All the way home Well her daddy never liked me, this he said And he could never get it through his old gray head That I loved his daughter so I did not mean to see her go Now I'm gonna cry, cry, cry All the way home
