I: If She Runs |
|
If she runs, let her run, run, run |
|
Just hope that she comes back |
|
If she breaks let her break, break, break |
|
Let apologies attract |
|
And is she's free let her be, let her be |
|
She's not in such bad company |
|
The big man's still got her name written on the wall |
|
If she cries let her cry, cry, cry |
|
'Till there isn't anymore |
|
If she laughs, let her cra-a-ack |
|
If that's what she's looking for |
|
And if she waits, let her wait, wait, wait |
|
You'll have to leave this one to fate |
|
It can't ever be too late, when she comes to call |
|
It's Hard -- Living with such uncertainty |
|
It's Hard -- climbing the statue of liberty |
|
It's Hard -- calming the beatle inside of me |
|
It's Hard -- missing my max and melody |
|
II: Mr. Wonderful |
|
Her lips were ruby red |
|
She had a pretty head |
|
Not even once did she miss Sunday school |
|
Remember what mama said, "Stick to the rules" |
|
This boy was something else |
|
Someone she knew so well |
|
Echoes of snakes in paradise |
|
Saw the strangest fire burning in his eyes |
|
His name is wonderful |
|
And it's wonderful, just to be near him |
|
His name is majesty |
|
And his majesty's requesting your presence |
|
He took her for a ride |
|
Into the starless night |
|
Talked about far away place he's been |
|
Could take her down to the city of sin |
|
"Grab it while you are young |
|
Trust me there's nothing wrong |
|
But she feard what was 'round the bend" |
|
Said "thank you, but no thank's, 'cause I've got a friend" |
|
His name is wonderful |
|
And it's wonderful, just to be near him |
|
His name is majesty |
|
And his majesty's requesting your presence |
|
III: Lost and Found Pt. 1 |
|
Don't you think if you could be lost |
|
Don't you think you can be found |
|
Don't you think if you were the world, you'd turn it around |
|
Don't you start looking behind |
|
Best stand up 'cause this is your time |
|
Don't you think that you'd better start changing your mind |
|
IV: Temple of The Gods |
|
In the Temple of the Gods |
|
We can get it on |
|
In the Temple of the Gods |
|
We will make our home |
|
Far from these Boulevards |
|
We will plunge headlong |
|
In the Temple of the Gods |
|
We will sing this song |
|
Give up all the reasons that you know |
|
Slide down where the time runs nice and slow |
|
Ease back and relax |
|
No figures and no fax |
|
Awakening the stranger in your soul |
|
In the Temple of the Gods |
|
We can get it on |
|
In the Temple of the Gods |
|
We will make our home |
|
Far from these Boulevards |
|
We will plunge headlong |
|
We will sing our song |
|
V: Motherless Children/If She Runs (Reprise) |
|
Left the countryside for the city |
|
She resides now on the second floor |
|
No more gardening in the backyard |
|
Busy keepin' the wolves from the door |
|
Motherless children, ain't going nowhere |
|
Running in circles, time after time |
|
Careless, confused, frozen and faithless |
|
Dreaming this dream to ease in your mind |
|
And if she runs |
|
Let her run |
|
Come on 'cause now the time has come |
|
The big man's got the mother and the son |
|
Written on the wall |
|
Don't want to hear it now... |
