Dead cats, dead rats, Did you see what they were at, all right. Dead cat in top hat Sucking on a young man′s blood Wishing he could come, Sucking on a soldier′s brain Wising it would be the same.
Dead cat, dead rat, Did you see what they were at. Fat cat in top hat, Thinks he is an aristocrat, Thinks he can kill and slaughter, Thinks he can shoot my daughter.
Dead cats, dead rats, Think you′re an aristocrat, Crap, that′s crap...

We′re getting tired of waiting around Waiting around with our heads to the ground I hear a very gentle sound What have they done to the earth? What have they done to our fair sister? Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn and tied her with fences and dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound With your ear down to the ground - We want the world and we want it Now! Persian night! See the light! Save us! Jesus! Save us!

Grand-ma loved a sailor Who sailed the frozen sea Grand-pa was a whaler And he took me on his knee He said, "Son, I′m goin′ crazy From livin′ on the land. Got to find my shipmates And walk on foreign sands"
This old man was graceful, With silver in his smile He smoked a briar pipe and He walked four country miles Singing song of shady sisters And old time liberty, Songs of love and songs of death, And songs to set men free
I′ve got three ships and sixty men, A course for ports unread I′ll stand at mast, let north winds blow Till half of us are dead Land Ho!

There′s blood in the streets it′s up to my ankles, Blood in the streets it′s up to my knee; Blood in the streets of the town of Chicago, Blood on the rise, it′s following me, Just about the break of day She came, then she drove away, sunlight in her hair
Blood on the streets runs a river of sadness Blood in the streets, it′s up to my thigh The river runs down the legs of the city; The women are crying red rivers of weeping She came in town and then she drove away, sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered on dawn′s highway Bleeding ghosts crowd the young child′s fragile Egg-shell mind
Blood in the streets of the town of New Haven; Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice Blood in my love in the terrible summer; Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A. Blood screams her brain as the chop off her fingers Blood will be born in the birth of a nation; Blood is the rose of mysterious union
There′s blood in the streets it′s up to my ankles Blood in the streets it′s up to my knee; Blood in the streets of the town of Chicago, Blood on the rise, it′s following me

Strange days have found us, Strange days have tracked us down, They′re goin′ to destroy our casual joys, We shall go on playing or find a new town
Strange eyes fill strange rooms, Voices will signal their tired end, The hostess is grinning, her guests sleep from sinning, Hear me talk of sin and you know this is it
Strange days have found us And through their strange hours We linger alone, bodies confused, Memories misused, As we run from the day to a strange night of stone
Well, the clock says it′s time to close I guess I′d better go I′d really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes, Street lights shed their hollow glow; Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise Still one place to go, still one place to go
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen, Warm my mind near your gentle stove Turn me out and I′ll wander, baby, Stumbling in the neon groves Your fingers weave quick minarets, Speaking in secret alphabets I light another cigarette, Learn to forget, learn to forget
When the still sea conspires an armor And her sullen and aborted Currents breed tiny monsters, True sailing is dead
Awkward instant And the first animal is jettisoned, Legs furiously pumping Their stiff green gallop, And head bob up Poise Delicate Pause Consent In mute nostril agony Carefully refined And sealed over
I′m a spy in the house of Love I know the dream that you′re dreamin′ of; I know the word that you long to hear I know your deepest secret fear

Not to touch the earth, not to see the sun, Nothing left to do but run, run, run, let′s run Let′s run
House upon the hill, moon is lying still, Shadows of the trees, witnessing the wild breeze Come on, baby, run with me, let′s run Run with me, run with me, run with me, let′s run
The mansion is warm at the top of the hill, Rich are the rooms and the comforts there Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs, And you don′t know a thing till you get inside
Dead President′s corpse in the driver′s car, The engine runs on glue and tar, Come on along, not goin′ very far, To the East to meet the Czar
Run with me, run with me, run with me. Let′s run
Some outlaws live by the side of a lake, The minister′s daughter′s in love with the snake, Who lives in a well by the side of the road Wake up, girl, we′re almost home!
Sun, sun, sun Burn, burn, burn Moon, moon, moon, I will get you Soon! Soon! Soon! I am the Lizard King I can do anything.

Wait until the war is over And we′re both a little older The unknown soldier Practice where the news is read Television children had Unborn, living, dead, Bullet strikes the helmet′s head
