Ride the Sky | Everybody's Clown |

. | . |
travelling this dark world, leaving light behind | I got to find a good time train |
seeing things I shouldn't see | I know you say I'm looking pale as fever |
new eyes I got to find | all you want to do is groan |
mars venus and Stars shaking | but now i see I'm glad you're on your own |
their heads at me | . |
no more todays - tonight I'll be riding the sky | the summer's been and gone again |
. | I don't know where and I don't care where I'm going |
hey world look out I'm coming | you tried so hard to bring me down |
friends pass me by a new song their humming |
but I'm not simply everybody's clown |
mars venus and stars shaking | . |
their heads at me | stop the world I need a little time right now |
no more todays - tonight I'll be riding the sky | in my head I'm so confused |
tonight ride the sky, tonight ride the sky | busy little people in their big machine |
haven't got the time to feel abused | |
the smile on his face turn me to stone | . |
the words that he spoke | it's not that I'm the restless kind |
wouldn't leave me alone | but now I've go to satisfy my mind |
mars venus and stars | I haven't got a thing to lose |
shaking their heads at me | and anyway I've got no time to choose |
no more todays tonight I'll be riding the | . |
tonight ride the sky, tonight ride the sky, | summer's been and gone again |
tonight ride the sky | I don't know where |
tonight ride the sky | and I don't care where I'm going |
. | when you see me at the break of dawn |
Keep Goin' | pull yourself together till I'm gone |

. | Toxic Shadows |
I saw the horses go by in the snow | Peter Hesslein / John O'Brien Docker |
I heard the hounds in full cry long ago | words: O'Brien Docker |
I saw my face in a dream down below | . |
I heard the prisoners scream: room for more | Blackness sliding everywhere |
. | you took the train to Clapham Junction |
keep going they're hot on your heels | Cause it can't wait |
the longer you rest now the harder it feels | Toxic shadows in the air |
nobody will open the door | you find your own with no compunction |
even your friends won't know you no more | now It's too late |
. | . |
slowly I open my eyes no one there | tell me how'd you'd like to be |
breakfast in bed would be nice no one here | a dead eyed fish in a dead eyed sea |
I can't be late there today - throw me out | with nowhere left to go this side of doom |
what would I do without pain, go with out | would you know what should be done lying, |
. | dying in the sun |
Free Baby | praying for the rising of the moon |
music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton | . |
. | I smell coal dust in your hair |
hey baby -would you stop those stupid games | you who baked in a house of fire |
that you are playing | with your feely finger |
hey baby is it lies or is it true | take my hard rock, put it there |
what they are saying | ooh babe just a little bit higher |
when you're on your own you play around | let the feeling linger |
set me free | . |
. | tell me how you'd like to be |
hey baby is it mine or someone else's bed . . | a dead eyed fish in a dead eyed sea |
you'll sleep tonight | with nowhere left to go this side of doom |
tell me baby, if it's someone else, make sure | wouldn't you know what should be done |
that he will treat you right | laying dying in the sun |
when you're on your own you play around | the ragged crows close in the afternoon |
set me free | . |
. | Baby you're a Liar |
.(repeat) | music : Peter Hesslein / words : O'Brien Docker |
..In the Time of Job | truly you're the sweetest thing . |
Hesslein / Horns/ Hecht/ Rietenbach/ O'Brien Docker | I have ever seen |
words : O'Brien Docker | you make me get the crazy side of love |
. | you're the one who can make me, shake me |
in the time of job when joseph was a chippy. | long before my time is due |
all the sons of pharaoh's were kings | move it in the back and slide it from above |
the word was passed around that mammon was a yippee | but I've gotten wiser to you babe |
and papin had to learn a few things | baby, baby you're a liar and I fell for you |
first there was a light copyright by moses | baby I couldn't get no higher |
and abraham was playing the stooge | but I seen through you |
with pilate on the right and mary and her roses | baby now you've gone away from me |
had a reputation to lose | it's all over, bar the crying |
. | . |
..(mid 8) | .now I've had the time to think about |
oh yeah - dozy hosianna screw me I'm a juba | where I went wrong |
praise the beanstalk - coogan flipped for, | I know I'd run a mile to do it all once more |
get down on your knees and love the man | spending lonely nights with someone |
mary said to joe there ain't no play on jesi | that I know I'll never love |
.you want to see them fall for the tricks | wishing things was like they were before |
all we got to do is let them take it easy | but I've gotten wiser to you babe |
and make like he's working for kicks | baby I'm a liar and I fell I for you |
. |
baby couldn't get no higher with you - no, no, no |
(solo) | baby now you've gone away from me |
. | it's all over, don't bar the waiting |
when old job got up, the bosses in judea. | . |
knew they had a fish on the hook | Lucifer's Friend. |
they called in all the boys…..and sold them the idea | Hesslein / Horns/ Hecht/ Rietenbach/ O'Brien Docker |
to write the story down in a book | words : O'Brien Docker |
. | . |
(mid 8) | fear and fright since yesterday night . |
(verse 1) | the little man knocked at my window |
. | the hour hit one but he had to run |
. | but he'll come again |
. | since yesterday night, I lived in fear of fright |
. | I still hear his voice shouting |
. | through the night |
. | . |
. | .I asked man, I asked sue don't know |
. | what to do |
. | every hour I cry I don't want to die |
. | fear is in my brain |
. | since yesterday night, I lived in fear and fright |
. | I still hear his voice shouting |
through the night | |
. | |
come take my hand I'm Lucifer's Friend | |
tonight is the end of your way | |
(repeat) | |
come take my hand I'm Lucifer's Friend | |
tonight is the end of your way | |
