1. Daybreak
This is the daybreak
And this is the love we make
For love us the law here
You've got to know how I love it
Yeah it's more than a mover
You know it takes all fast all song
Stone cold wild
Bring the love in son brother man
True nature child
I think I'll sing it
For Atlanta Georgia to Longsight Manchester
Everyone ready
So willing and able yeah, yeah, yeah
For the love you make
Y'know sis' huh, yeah, wooh
She built it to make ya
We all love makers ain't we?
Sister Rosa Lee Parks
Love forever her name in your heart
Forever in my heart, mm, yeah, woh, hey
As I sing on this song
Someone just got rolled on hey
Oh hey, yeah, wooh yeah
New York City to Addis Ababababa
Keep on keeping strong
Keep on keeping on
So why no stack for black
On a radio station in this the city?
Been going on so long, level on the line
I'm a leaf on the vine of time
Black bones are the original bones
And so this the whole wide world should know y'all
I came to sing this song in your city
Ooh for the dreamers one more for the dreamers yeah
2. Breaking
Into Heaven
I've been casing your joint for the best years of my life
Like the look of your stuff outta sight
When I'm hungry and when I'm cold
When I'm having it rough or just getting old
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die here join the queue
Better man the barricades
I'm coming in tonight
Had a line of my dust outta sight
When I wander and when I roam
I'll find a soul I can trust I'm coming home
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue
Sing it
I-I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore
Heaven's gates won't hold me
I'll saw those suckers down
Laughing loud at your locks when they hit the ground
Every icon in every town
Hear this, your number's up, I'm coming round
Listen up sweet child of mine
Have I got news for you
Nobody leaves this place alive
They'll die and join the queue
Sing it
I-I'm, I'm gonna break right into heaven
I can't wait anymore
How many times will I have to tell you
You don't have to wait to die
You can have it all
Any time you want it
Yeah the kingdom's all inside

3. Driving
South
Driving south round midnight
Man I must have been insane
Driving south round midnight
In a howling hurricane
I stopped for an old man hitcher at a lonely old crossroad
He said I'm going nowhere
And I'm only here to see if I can steal your soul
I'm not tryin' to make you
I don't want to touch your skin
I know all there is to know about you and all your sins
Well, you ain't too young or pretty
And you sure as hell can't sing
Any time you want to sell your soul
I've got a toll-free number you can ring
Yeah that's what I thought he said anyway
I'm not tryin' to make you
I don't want to touch your skin
I know all there is to know about you and all your sins
Well you ain't too young or pretty
AND you sure as hell can't sing
Any time you want to sell your soul
I've got a toll-free number you can ring
O eight O O treble six oh yeah
O eight O O treble six oh yeah
I stopped for an old man hitcher at a lonely old crossroad
He said I'm going nowhere
And I'm only here to see if I can steal your soul
4. Tightrope
You should have been an angel
It would've suited you
My gold-leafed triptych angel
She knows just what to do
In the half light of morning
In our world between the sheets
I swear I saw her angel wing
My vision was complete
And I know I'll never want another lover my sweet
Can there be more in this world
Than the joy of just watching you sleep?
I don't know just what to feel
Won't someone tell me my love's real?
Are we etched in stone
Or just scratched in the sand
Waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?
Will the sun shine all sweetness and light
Burn us to a cinder
Our third stone satellite?
I'm on a tightrope baby nine miles high
Striding through the clouds
On my ribbon in the sky
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found
I don't know how to stop
And it's a long, long, long
Long way down
She's all that ever mattered
And all that ever will
My cup, it runneth over
I'll never get my fill
The boats in the harbour slip from their chains
Head for new horizons
Let's do the same
I'm on a tightrope baby nine miles high
Striding through the clouds
On my ribbon in the sky
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found
I don't know how to stop
And it's a tightrope baby nine miles high
Striding through the clouds
On my ribbon in the sky
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found
I don't know how to stop
And it's a long, long, long
Long way down
Long way down
