"Waiting
For The Sun" At first flash of Eden
We race down to the sea
Standing there on freedom's shore
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Can you feel it
Now that Spring
has come
That it's time to live in the scattered sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun.
Waiting for the sun
Waiting,, waiting,, waiting,, waiting, waiting,, waiting,, waiting,, waiting
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to hear my song
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to tell
me what went wrong
This is the strangest life I've ever known
[scream]
Can you feel it
Now that Spring has come
That it's time to live in the scattered sun.
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun "You
Make Me Real" I really want you, really do
Really need ya baby, God knows I do
'Cause I'm not real enough without you
Oh, what can I do?
You

You make me feel like lovers feel
You make me throw away mistaken misery
Make me free, love, make me free
I really want you, really do
Really need ya
baby, really do
Well I'm not real enough without yo
Oh, what can I do? You make me real
Only you have that appeal
So let me slide into your tender sunken sea
Make me free,
love, make me free
You make me real
You make me feel like lovers feel
You make me throw away mistaken misery
Make me free, love, make me free
Make me free
You make me real "Peace Frog" There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it's following me
Think about
the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
She came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh
She came
Yeah the river
runs red down the legs of a city
She came
The women are crying red rivers of weepin'
She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered
on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
Blood in the streets in the
town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.
Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in
the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following me "Blue Sunday" I found my own
true love was on a blue Sunday
She looked at me and told me
I was the only one in the world
Now I have found my girl
My girl awaits for me in tender time
My girl is mine, she
is the world
She is my girl
La, la, la, la
My girl awaits for me in tender time
My girl is mine, she is the world
She is my girl "Ship Of Fools" The human race was dyin' out
Noone left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon
Everyone was hanging out
Hanging up and hanging down
Hanging in and holding fast
Hope our little world will last
Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips
Looking for a new a ship
Come on, people better climb on board
Come on, baby, now we're going home
Ship of fools, ship of fools
The human race was dyin' out
Noone left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon
Ship
of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools
[improv and fade]
"Land Ho!"
Grandma loved a sailor, who sailed the frozen sea
Grandpa was that whaler and he took me on his knee
He said, "Son, I'm going crazy from livin' on the land
Got to find my shipmates and walk in foreign sands."
This old man was graceful with silver in his smile
He smoked a briar pipe and he walked four country miles
Singing songs of shady sisters in old town Liberty
Songs of
love and songs of death and songs to set men free
Ya!
I've got three ships and sixty men
A course for ports unread
I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow till half of us are dead
Land ho!
Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill
If I get my hands on a number five gonna skin that little girl alive
If I get my hands on a number two come back home and marry you
Marry you, marry you
Alright!
Eh land ho!
Eh land ho!
Well if I get back home and I feel alright
You know babe I'm gonna love you right,
love you right, love you right
Eh land ho!
Eh land ho!
Eh! "The Spy" I'm a spy in the house of love
I know the dream, that you're dreamin'
of
I know the word that you long to hear
I know your deepest, secret fear
I'm a spy in the house of love
I know the dream, that you're dreamin' of
I know the word
that you long to hear
I know your deepest, secret fear
I know everything
Everything you do
Everywhere you go
Everyone you know
I'm a spy in the house of love
I know the dream, that you're dreamin' of
I know the
word that you long to hear
I know your deepest, secret fear
I know your deepest, secret fear
I know your deepest, secret fear
I'm a spy, I can see
What you do
And I know "Queen Of The Highway" She was a princess, Queen of the Highway
Sign on the road said: "Take us to Madre"
No one could save her, save the blind tiger
He was a monster, black dressed in leather
She was a princess, Queen of the Highway
Now they are wedded, she is a good girl
Naked as children out in a
meadow
Naked as children, wild as can be
Soon to have offspring, start it all over
Start at all over
American boy, American girl
Most beautiful people in the
world!
Son of a frontier Indian Swirl
Dancing through the midnight whirl-pool, formless
Hope it can continue a little while longer "Indian Summer" I love you, the best
Better than all the rest
I love you, the best
Better than all the rest
That I meet in the summer
Indian summer
That I meet in the summer
Indian summer
I love you, the best
Better than all the rest "Maggie M'Gill" Miss Maggie M'Gill,
she lived on a hill
Her daddy got drunk and left her the will
So she went down, down to Tangie Town
People down there really like to get it on
Now if you're sad and you're feeling blue
Go out and buy a brand new pair of shoes
And you go down, down to Tangie Town
'Cause people
down there really like to get it on
Get it on
Illegitimate son of a Rock n' Roll star
Illegitimate son of a Rock n' Roll star
Mom met dad in the back of a Rock n' Roll car
Well, I'm an old blues man and I think that you understand
I've been singing the blues ever since the world began
Maggie, Maggie, Maggie M'Gill
Roll on, roll on, Maggie M'Gill
[repeat and fade]
