ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND BEAUTIFUL DAY The heart is a bloom Shoots up through the stony ground There's no room No space to rent in this town You're out of luck And the reason that you had to care The traffic is stuck And you're not moving anywhere You thought you'd found a friend To take you out of this place Someone you could lend a hand In return for grace It's a beautiful day Sky falls, you feel like It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away You're on the road But you've got no destination You're in the mud In the maze of her imagination You love this town Even if that doesn't ring true You've been all over And it's been all over you It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away It's a beautiful day Touch me Take me to that other place Teach me I know I'm not a hopeless case See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out See the Bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth After the flood all the colors came out It was a beautiful day Don't let it get away Beautiful day Touch me Take me to that other place Reach me I know I'm not a hopeless case What you don't have you don't need it now What you don't know you can feel it somehow What you don't have you don't need it now Don't need it now Was a beautiful day STUCK IN A MOMENT I'm not afraid Of anything in this world There's nothing you can throw at me That I haven't already heard I'm just trying to find A decent melody A song that I can sing In my own company I never thought you were a fool But darling look at you You gotta stand up straight Carry your own weight These tears are going nowhere baby You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And now you can't get out of it Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it I will not forsake The colors that you bring The nights you filled with fireworks They left you with nothing I am still enchanted By the light you brought to me I listen through your ears Through your eyes I can see And you are such a fool To worry like you do I know it's tough And you can never get enough Of what you don't really need now My, oh my You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it Oh love, look at you now You've got yourself stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it I was unconscious, half asleep The water is warm 'til you discover how deep I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall It's a long way down to nothing at all You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if our way should falter Along the stony pass And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if your way should falter Along this stony pass It's just a moment This time will pass ELEVATION High, higher than the sun You shoot me from a gun I need you to elevate me here A corner of your lips Is the orbit of your hips Eclipse You elevate my soul I've got no self control Been living like a mole now Going down, excavation Higher now, in the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation A star Lit up like a cigar Strung out like a guitar Maybe you can educate my mind Explain all these controls Can't sing but I've got soul The goal is elevation A mole Digging in a hole Digging up my soul now Going down, excavation Higher now In the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation Love Lift me out of these blues Won't you tell me something true I believe in you A mole Digging in a hole Digging up my soul now Going down, excavation Higher now In the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation Elevation Elevation Elevation Elevation WALK ON And love It's not the easy thing The only baggage That you can bring Not the easy thing The only baggage you can bring Is all that you can't leave behind And if the darkness is to keep us apart And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off And if your glass heart should crack Before the second you turn back Oh no, be strong Walk on Walk on What you got, they can't steal it No they can't even feel it Walk on Walk on Stay safe tonight You're packing a suitcase for a place None of us has been A place that has to be believed To be seen You could have flown away A singing bird In an open cage Who will only fly Only fly for freedom Walk on Walk on What you got You can't deny it Can't sell it or buy it Walk on Walk on You stay safe tonight And I know it aches How your heart it breaks You can only take so much Walk on Walk on Home Hard to know what it is If you never had one Home I can't say where it is But I know I'm going Home That's where the heart is And I know it aches And your heart it breaks You can only take so much Walk on Leave it behind You've got to leave it behind All that you fashion All that you make All that you build All that you break All that you measure All that you feel All this you can leave behind All that you reason All that you care It's only time And I'll never fill up all my mind(???) All that you sense All that you scheme All you dress up And all that you see All you create All that you wreck All that you hate KITE Something Is about to give I can feel it coming I think I know what it is I'm not afraid to die I'm not afraid to live And when I'm flat on my back I hope to feel like I did And hardness It sets in You need some protection The thinner the skin I want you to know That you don't need me anymore I want you to know You don't need anyone Or anything at all Who's to say where the wind will take you Who's to say what it is will break you I don't know Which way the wind will blow Who's to know when the time has come around Don't want to see you cry I know that this is not goodbye It's somewhere I can taste the salty sea There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze I wonder what's gonna happen to you You wonder what has happened to me I'm a man I'm not a child A man who sees The shadow behind your eyes Who's to say where the wind will take you Who's to say what it is will break you I don't know Where the wind will blow Who's to know when the time has come around I don't want to see you cry I know that this is not goodbye Did I waste it Not so much I couldn't taste it Life should be fragrant Rooftop to the basement The last of the rocks stars When hip-hop drove the big cars In the time when new media Was the big idea What was the big idea IN A LITTLE WHILE In a little while Surely you'll be back In a little while I'll be there In a little while This hurt will hurt no more I'll be home, love When the night takes a deep breath And the daylight has no end If I crawl, if I come crawling home WiIl you be there In a little while I will blow by every breeze Friday night running To Sunday on my knees That girl, that girl She's mine And I've know her since Since you were a little girl With Spanish eyes Oh, when I saw her In a pram they pushed her by My, how you've grown Well it's been It's been a little while Slow down my bleeding heart Man dreams one day to fly A man takes a rocketship into the skys He lives on starlets dying in the night And follows in the trail The scatter of light Turn it on Turn it on You turn me on Slow down my bleeding heart Slowly, slowly love Slow down my bleeding heart Slowly, slowly love Slow down my beating heart Slowly, slowly love WILD HONEY In the days When we were swinging form the trees I was a monkey Stealing honey from a swarm of bees I could taste I could taste you even then And I would chase you down the wind You can go there if you please Wild honey And if you go then go with me Wild honey Did I know you Did I know you even then Before the clocks began time Before the world was made From the cruel sun You were sheltered You were shelter and my shade If you go there with me Wild honey You can do just what you please Wild honey Yeah, just blowing in the breeze Wild honey Wild, wild, wild I'm still standing I'm still standing where you left me Are you still growing wild With everything tame around you I send you flowers Could flowers thaw you heart I know your garden is full But is there sweetness at all What is so (???)

New York New York GRACE Grace She takes the blame She covers the shame Removes the stain It could be her name Grace It's a name for a girl It's also a thought that Changed the world And when she walks on the street You can hear the strings Grace finds goodness In everything Grace She's got the walk Not on a wrapper on chalk She's got the time to talk She travels outside Of karma, karma She travels outside Of karma When she goes to work You can hear the strings Grace finds beauty In everything Grace She carries a world on her hips No champagne flute for her lips No twirls or skips Between her fingertips She carries a pearl In perfect condition What once was hers What once was friction What left a mark No longer stains Because grace makes beauty Out of ugly things Grace finds beauty In everything Grace finds goodness In everything
