Stranger in the Streets

Well there’s a stranger living in the street,

And he plays whatever he needs.

Gaze out your window, you may see him,

He plays in street lamps golden dim.

Don’t try to follow the man to find his home,

The streets are where he belongs.

Lives in solitude a purgatory all his own,

Him and his ax, they are alone.

Well he’s a stranger in the streets

He’s a stranger in the streets and he is Me.

Catch the man he may play you a song,

Of past times far gone.

Day light breaks the stranger must leave,

He runs into the night as a thief.

Well he’s a stranger in the streets

He’s a stranger in the streets and he is Me.

Thunder Shines No Sound

Wayward to the East

And there’s still no sun.

Rain falls like bullets

From a loaded gun.

Where do I go to find the Sun?

Journey through the hills so far and long.

Onward to the West what have I Done?

Thunder shines no sound,

I only hear the light.

No stars to guide me,

Clouds you win the fight.

I’m a pulled down pawn,

Restricted from the dawn.

Oh son where do I go to find what I seek?

Irony has ravished me so tired and weak,

I see it in my dreams there it is so clear,

Yet now it’s the only thing I fear.

Dusted from the east

The rain has lost its head.

Seek it out the sun shall dawn

To those who crave it.

Sun of my I do bask in you once again

From the west I came and found you.

Blue Dreams

Well I’m dreamin’, dreamin’ in blue tonight

Dreamin’ of what gives me this fright

Chorus

Because I’m dreamin’ of what keeps me up

Thinkin’ of what’s in my head

Searchin’ for the ghost that won’t let me get to bed.

Ma’ always said it was in my mind

But twenty years have past an the light still shines

Gaze through my window, gaze into my eyes

Mama I wish you were here right now to turn on the light

Chorus

My closet shakes, my mirrors turn

Door slams shut, but I’m the only one

I rise from my sheets and fall to my knees

They take me by the hands and I can’t even scream

Chorus

I close my eyes as they rub my head

Hollow whispers of what they intend

Close your mind and open your heart

We are the ones who dwell in the dark

Listen to what we say if you don’t wish to follow

Because if you don’t we’ll pull you in the shadows

Well I’m dreamin’ in blue tonight

Dreamin’ of what gives me this fright
