Patti Smith & Sarah McLachlan - Because The Night



Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now,
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now,
Can't touch you now, can't touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers ...

With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turn and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Because the night belongs to lovers ...

Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because tonight there are two lovers ...

Patti Smith - Dancing Barefoot






she is benediction
she is addicted to thee
she is the root connection
she is connecting with he

here I go and I don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
could it be he's taking over me...

I'm dancing barefoot
heading for a spin
some strange music draws me in
makes me come on like some heroin/e

she is sublimation
she is the essence of thee
she is concentrating on
he, who is chosen by she

here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly,
could it be he's taking over me...

[chorus]

she is re-creation
she, intoxicated by thee
she has the slow sensation that
he is levitating with she ...

here I go and I don't know why,
I spin so ceaselessly,
'til I lose my sense of gravity...

[chorus]

(oh god I fell for you ...)

the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face
the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
grave visitations
what is it that calls to us?
why must we pray screaming?
why must not death be redefined?
we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a pane of glass
an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree
the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women.

(oh god I fell for you ...)

PATTI SMITH - BREAK IT UP

* Car stopped in a clearing,
ribbon of life, it was nearing.
i saw the boy break out of his skin.
my heart turned over and i crawled in.
he cried, “break it up, oh i don't understand,
break it up, i can't comprehend.
break it up, oh, i want to feel you.
break it up, don't talk to me that way,
i'm not listening.”
snow started falling,
i could hear the angel calling.
we rolled on the ground, he stretched out his wings.
the boy flew away and he started to sing.
he sang, “break it up, oh, i don't understand.
break it up, i can't comprehend.
break it up, oh, i want to feel you.
break it up, don't look at me.”
The sky was raging, the boy disappeared,
i fell on my knee
atmosphere broke up, the boy reappeared.
i cried, “take me please!”
Ice, it was shining.
i could feel my heart, it was melting.
i tore off my clothes, i danced on my shoes.
i ripped my skin open and then i broke through.
i cried, “break it up, oh, now i understand.
break it up, and i want to go.
break it up, oh please take me with you.
break it up, i can feel it breaking,
i can feel it breaking, i can feel it breaking,
i can feel, i can feel, i can feel, i can feel.”
So break it up, oh now i'm coming with you.
break it up, now i'm gonna go.
break it up, oh, feel me, i'm coming.
break it up, break it up, break it up,
break it up, break it up, break it up,
oh, break it up, break it up, break it up
break it up, break it up, break it on up
break it up, break it on up, up, up
break it, break it, break it, break it
break it on up, break it up,
break it up, break it up, break it up ...

PATTI SMITH - BOY CRIED WOLF

Oh the story's told been told retold
from the sacred scriptures to the tabloids
all the fuss and fight none above a whisper
the soul of gold the belly of a boy
Well they drew him from the forest
like they draw blood
tied him to a tree like st. sebastian
and he turned his head and let the arrows fly
through the trees, the trees
the ornamental leaves
Boy cried wolf
wolf don't come
wolf within
boy cried wolf
In the ancient mold they're dancing down
calling to the moon but it don't answer
and they fell on their knees
and passed the bowl around
and the blood the blood the sacramental blood
Boy cried wolf
wolf don't come
wolf within
boy cried wolf
I am the body i am the stream
i am the wake of everything
they bring me flowers that are myself
garlands of blood that are myself
slain the lamb that is himself
Torn reborn the cries of our dismay
are nothing to the wind but whose to mind
kings are lifted up and kings are thrown
Lost received retrieved
the human tide
Innocence had its day
innocence had its day
innocence innocence

PATTI SMITH - BLUE POLES

* Mother as i write the sun dissolves
blood life streaming cross my hand
and these words, these words
hope dashed immortal hope
hope streaking the canvas sky
blue poles infinitely winding, as i write, as i write
blue poles infinitely winding, as i write, as i write
We joined the long caravan
hungry dreaming going west
just for work just to get a job
and we never got lucky
we just forged on
and the dust the endless dust
like a plague it covered everything
hal fell with the fever
and mother i did what i could
blue poles infinitely winding, as i write, as i write
blue poles infinitely winding, as i write, as i write
We prayed we prayed for rain
i never wanted to see the sun again
All my dresses you made by hand
we left behind on the road
hal died in my arms
we buried him by the river
blue poles infinitely winding, as i write, as i write
blue poles infinitely winding, as i write, as i write

PATTI SMITH - BIRDLAND

* His father died and left him a little farm in new england.
all the long black funeral cars left the scene
and the boy was just standing there alone
looking at the shiny red tractor
him and his daddy used to sit inside
and circle the blue fields and grease the night.
it was if someone had spread butter on all the fine points of the stars
'cause when he looked up they started to slip.
then he put his head in the crux of his arm
and he started to drift, drift to the belly of a ship,
let the ship slide open, and he went inside of it
and saw his daddy 'hind the control board streamin' beads of light,
he saw his daddy 'hind the control board,
and he was very different tonight
'cause he was not human, he was not human.
And then the little boy's face lit up with such naked joy
that the sun burned around his lids and his eyes were like two suns,
white lids, white opals, seeing everything just a little bit too clearly
and he looked around and there was no black ship in sight,
no black funeral cars, nothing except for him the raven
and fell on his knees and looked up and cried out,
“no, daddy, don't leave me here alone,
take me up, daddy, to the belly of your ship,
let the ship slide open and i'll go inside of it
where you're not human, you are not human.”
But nobody heard the boy's cry of alarm.
nobody there 'cept for the birds around the new england farm
and they gathered in all directions, like roses they scattered
and they were like compass grass coming together into the head of a shaman bouquet
slit in his nose and all the others went shooting
and he saw the lights of traffic beckoning like the hands of blake
grabbing at his cheeks, taking out his neck,
all his limbs, everything was twisted and he said,
“i won't give up, won't give up, don't let me give up,
i won't give up, come here, let me go up fast,
take me up quick, take me up, up to the belly of a ship
and the ship slides open and i go inside of it where i am not human.”
I am helium raven and this movie is mine,
so he cried out as he stretched the sky,
pushing it all out like latex cartoon, am i all alone in this generation?
we'll just be dreaming of animation night and day
and won't let up, won't let up and i see them coming in,
oh, i couldn't hear them before, but i hear 'em now,
it's a radar scope in all silver and all platinum lights
moving in like black ships, they were moving in, streams of them,
and he put up his hands and he said, “it's me, it's me,
i'll give you my eyes, take me up, oh now please take me up,
i'm helium raven waitin' for you, please take me up,
don't leave me here!”
the son, the sign, the cross,
like the shape of a tortured woman, the true shape of a tortured woman,
the mother standing in the doorway letting her sons
no longer presidents but prophets
they're all dreaming they're gonna bear the prophet,
he's gonna run through the fields dreaming in animation
it's all gonna split his skull
it's gonna come out like a black bouquet shining
like a fist that's gonna shoot them up
like light, like mohammed boxer
take them up up up up up up
oh, let's go up, up, take me up, i'll go up,
i'm going up, i'm going up
take me up, i'm going up, i'll go up there
go up go up go up go up up up up up up up
up, up to the belly of a ship.
let the ship slide open and we'll go inside of it
where we are not human, we're not human.
Well, there was sand, there were tiles,
the sun had melted the sand and it coagulated
like a river of glass
when it hardened he looked at the surface
he saw his face
and where there were eyes were just two white opals, two white opals,
where there were eyes there were just two white opals
and he looked up and the rays shot
and he saw raven comin' in
and he crawled on his back and he went up
up up up up up up
sha da do wop, da shaman do way, sha da do wop, da shaman do way,
sha da do wop, da shaman do way, sha da do wop, da shaman do way,
sha da do wop, da shaman do way,
we like birdland.

PATTI SMITH - BENEATH THE SOURTHERN CROOS

Oh
to be
not anyone
gone
this maze of being
skin
oh
to cry
not any cry
so mournful that
the dove just laughs
the steadfast gasps
Oh
to owe
not anyone
nothing
to be
not here
but here
forsaking
equatorial bliss
who walked through
the callow mist
dressed in scraps
who walked
the curve of the world
whose bone scraped
whose flesh unfurled
who grieves not
anyone gone
to greet lame
the inspired sky
amazed to stumble
where gods get lost
beneath
the southern cross

PATTI SMITH - ASK THE ANGELS

* Moooooove! ask the angels who they're calling,
go ask the angels if they're calling to thee
ask the angels while they're falling
who that person could possibly be
And i know you got the feeling,
you know, i feel it crawl across the floor
and i know it got you reelin'
and honey honey the call is for war
and it's wild wild wild wild.
Everybody got the feelin'
you know the feeling and it's stronger each day
everybody wants to be reelin'
and baby baby i'll show you the way
And i know it's hard sometimes,
you got a piece and hit across the sky
and i know it's hard sometimes
and world war is the battle cry
and it's wild wild wild wild
Across the country through the fields
you know i see it written 'cross the sky
people rising from the highway
and war war is the battle cry
and it's wild wild wild wild.
Armageddon, it's gotten
no savior jailer can take it from me
world ending, it's just beginning
and rock and roll is what i'm born to be
and it's wild wild wild wild
wild wild wild wild
wild wild wild wild
wild wild wild wild
Ask the angels if they're startin' to move
comin' in droves in from l.a.
ask the angels if they're starting to groove
lightning as armor and it's today
it's wild wild wild wild
wild wild wild wild
wild wild wild wild
wild wild wild wild.

PATTI SMITH - AS THE NIGHT GOES BY

* Darlin' come under cover
another night to discover
let's slip where senses gather
let's drift between the sea and sky
as the night goes by
Sands shift
orchids so strange
in the moonlight
brushing our faces
places where love blooms
and dies
while the night goes by
oh, and the spirits call
sun upon your shadows fall
tracing every breath we draw
Come into my dreams
come into my dreams
darlin' let's go where the night goes
let's drift where senses gather
let's make this night last forever
into my dreams
into my dreams
Darlin' let's go
where the night goes
time slips
oh darlin' how it flies
when the night goes by
All through the night
sirens call
come to me
i'll come to you
as the night softly
goes by bye
Midnight
moon on our shoulder
daybreak
another one older
darlin' heavenly blue
glories fade into view
Let's go
under the stars
that are beating
under the moonlight
stars shoot
dusk just a whisper
make this night
last forever
oh how i wonder
where the night goes
oh let's wonder
where the night goes
as the night goes
by bye
by bye

PATTI SMITH - ABOUT A BOY

* Toward another
he has gone
to breathe an air
beyond his own
toward a wisdom
beyond the shelf
toward a dream
that dreams itself
About a boy
beyond it all
about a boy
beyond it all
From the forest
from the foam
from the field
that he had
known
toward a river
twice as blessed
toward the inn
of happiness
About a boy
beyond it all
about a boy
beyond it all
From a chaos
raging sweet
from the deep
and dismal street
toward another
kind of peace
toward the great
emptiness
About a boy
beyond it all
about a boy
beyond it all
[ ]
i stood among them
i stood alone
boy boy
just a boy
just a little boy
[ ]
just a little boy
who will never grow

PATTI SMITH - HORSES

1975



* The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea
From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating
Another boy was sliding up the hallway
He merged perfectly with the hallway,
He merged perfectly, the mirror in the hallway

The boy looked at Johnny, Johnny wanted to run,
but the movie kept moving as planned
The boy took Johnny, he pushed him against the locker,
He drove it in, he drove it home, he drove it deep in Johnny
The boy disappeared, Johnny fell on his knees,
started crashing his head against the locker,
started crashing his head against the locker,
started laughing hysterically

When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by
horses, horses, horses, horses
coming in in all directions
white shining silver studs with their nose in flames,
He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses.
Do you know how to pony like bony maroney
Do you know how to twist, well it goes like this, it goes like this
Baby mash potato, do the alligator, do the alligator
And you twist the twister like your baby sister
I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, dig your baby sister
Rise up on her knees, do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee pee,
Roll down on her back, got to lose control, got to lose control,
Got to lose control and then you take control,
Then you're rolled down on your back and you like it like that,
Like it like that, like it like that, like it like that,
Then you do the watusi, yeah do the watusi

Life is filled with holes, Johnny's laying there, his sperm coffin
Angel looks down at him and says, “Oh, pretty boy,
Can't you show me nothing but surrender ?”
Johnny gets up, takes off his leather jacket,
Taped to his chest there's the answer,
You got pen knives and jack knives and
Switchblades preferred, switchblades preferred
Then he cries, then he screams, saying
Life is full of pain, I'm cruisin' through my brain
And I fill my nose with snow and go Rimbaud,
Go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud,
And go Johnny go, and do the watusi, oh do the watusi

There's a little place, a place called space
It's a pretty little place, it's across the tracks,
Across the tracks and the name of the place is you like it like that,
You like it like that, you like it like that, you like it like that,
And the name of the band is the
Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes,
Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes

Baby calm down, better calm down,
In the night, in the eye of the forest
There's a mare black and shining with yellow hair,
I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair,
I didn't waste time, I just walked right up and saw that
up there -- there is a sea
up there -- there is a sea
up there -- there is a sea
the sea's the possibility
There is no land but the land
(up there is just a sea of possibilities)
There is no sea but the sea
(up there is a wall of possibilities)
There is no keeper but the key
(up there there are several walls of possibilities)
Except for one who seizes possibilities, one who seizes possibilities.
(up there)
I seize the first possibility, is the sea around me
I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor
(in a sea of possibilities) I felt his hand on my knee
(on the screen)
And I looked at Johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame
(in the heart of man)
The waves were coming in like Arabian stallions
Gradually lapping into sea horses
He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat
(the spoon)
And let it deep in
(the veins)
Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities
It started hardening
Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities
It started hardening in my hand
And I felt the arrows of desire

I put my hand inside his cranium, oh we had such a brainiac-amour
But no more, no more, I gotta move from my mind to the area
(go Rimbaud go Rimbaud go Rimbaud)
And go Johnny go and do the watusi,
Yeah do the watusi, do the watusi ...
Shined open coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling
Our lives are now entwined, we will fall yes we're together twining
Your nerves, your mane of the black shining horse
And my fingers all entwined through the air,
I could feel it, it was the hair going through my fingers,
(I feel it I feel it I feel it I feel it)
The hairs were like wires going through my body
I I that's how I
that's how I
I died
(at that Tower of Babel they knew what they were after)
(they knew what they were after)
[Everything on the current] moved up
I tried to stop it, but it was too warm, too unbelievably smooth,
Like playing in the sea, in the sea of possibility, the possibility
Was a blade, a shiny blade, I hold the key to the sea
of possibilities
There's no land but the land

looked at my hands, and there's a red stream
that went streaming through the sands like fingers,
like arteries, like fingers
(how much fits between the eyes of a horse?)
He lay, pressing it against his throat (your eyes)
He opened his throat (your eyes)
His vocal chords started shooting like (of a horse) mad
pituitary glands
The scream he made (and my heart) was so high (my heart)
pitched that nobody heard,
No one heard that cry,
No one heard (Johnny) the butterfly flapping in his throat,
(His fingers)
Nobody heard, he was on that bed, it was like a sea of jelly,
And so he seized the first
(his vocal chords shot up)
(possibility)
(like mad pituitary glands)
It was a black tube, he felt himself disintegrate
(there is nothing happening at all)
and go inside the black tube, so when he looked out into the steep
saw this sweet young thing (Fender one)
Humping on the parking meter, leaning on the parking meter

In the sheets
there was a man
dancing around
to the simple
Rock & roll
song
