BIG SUN | LYRICS
NEXT TOWN
Grew up right next to this old man river
Got my lessons from this dirty old man
Life's been a journey from the mountains to the oceans
The only time I'm feeling right is when I'm wandering
These highways are like the high seas to me
I'm no Columbus man
A little more like Jean Lafite
So get me down to the next town next town
Motion and madness is on the menu for today
Another story in the next town next town
Look out man I got a job to do today
Next town next town next town next town
We drive through cities and our hearts beat like thunder
As we're looking for love to plunder kicking down the doors
We have a sailing vessel with 4 badly balding tires
We've got an arsenal of 12 packs and guitars
These highways are like the high seas to me
I'm no Columbus man
A little more like Jean Lafite
So get me down to the next town next town
Motion and madness on the menu for today
Another story in the next town next town
Look out man I got a job to do today
Next town next town next town next town
These highways are like the high seas to me
I'm no Columbus man
A little more like Jean Lafite
So get me down to the next town next town
Motion and madness is on the menu for today
Another story in the next town next town
Look out man you got a job to do today
Next town next town next town next town
This gypsy life that we have been living ain't to forgiving
But it's the only one I've got
So when I die don't put my bones in no coffin
Set my ashes to ocean and we'll see where I wash up
These highways are like the high seas to me
I'm no Columbus man
A little more like Jean Lafite
So get me down to the next town next town
Motion and madness is on the menu for today
Outrun the cops to the next town next town
Look out man I got a job to do ok
Next town next town next town next town Next town next town next town next town...
ON THIS DAY
Long ago and far away
Before today was a day
It was a hole in the road of destiny
The fault’s not mine baby its not yours
I’m afraid it falls on the cosmic shores
The gods aligned way up above
To blow away my one true love
On this day – I couldn’t stand it
I couldn’t face it on this day
Let’s sink and abandon it
And tie back the hands of time
To back when you were mine
So I can stop this crying
On this day – On this day
The birds they’re singing happy songs
But I said birds you got it wrong
The birds they said they’d do their best
But birds they just don’t take requests
Mr. Sky how do you do
He said the clouds have gone
And left me blue
And unlike the sky I fear
I have never been so clear
ST. ANDREW’S BEACH
There is a place that we can go
To be all alone in the night
Just you and me
And the sound of the sea
Man on the moon blushes white
Two hearts they beat
So loud on the beach
Entangled in body and mind
But the world spins so fast
And it seems hard to grasp
But to hold on to you will be fine
St. Andrews Beach is a beacon
Nestled in a harbor
Like a fire in the cold dark world
Can’t you see the embers fly
I only want to love you tonight
Consumed in your passion
It’s not very far…
It’s just at the end of the road
It’s just at the end of the road
St. Andrews Beach is a beacon
Nestled in a harbor
Like a fire in the cold dark world
Can’t you see the embers fly
I only want to love you tonight
Consumed in your passion
It’s not very far…
It’s just at the end of the road
It’s just at the end of the road
There is a place that we can go
To be all alone in the night
And it’s just down the street
At St. Andrews Beach
Man on the moon close your eyes
There is a place that we can go
Just you and me we can go…
GIRLS GOT RHYTHM
She came down from the corner
10th avenue
Yea the boys tried to warn her
What she can do
A gunshot from an alley
And screaming upstairs
Yea the streets got danger
She doesn’t care no
You know she’s got it
She’s got what it takes yes she does
You know she’s got it
The girls got rhythm yea
She’s the queen of her high school
Homecoming dance
From her French high heel shoes she’s
Down to her skin tight pants
Yea and everybody wants her
She’s hard to find
First the girl will break you in two
Then she’ll blow your funky mind
You know she’s got it
She’s got what it takes yes she does
You know she’s got it
The girls got rhythm yea
You know she’s got it
She’s got what it takes yes she does
You know she’s got it
The girls got rhythm yea
If you ever want to find her
She can still be found
Backstreets of America
Bringing all the young boys down
You know she’s got it
She’s got what it takes yes she does
You know she’s got it
The girls got rhythm yea
Dance little sister
Move that thing around
Walking like an angel
Feet don’t touch the ground
DEADMAN
I hear the TV
I watch the stereo
The clock is ticking some
But time ain't moving no
I dial your number
It's ringing on and on
I check my pulse but
I am afraid it's gone
So while I'm away
I just wanted to say
You know that I
I don't want to spend the rest of my life Like a deadman
I don't want to spend the rest of my days In this lonely tomb
I don't want to spend the rest of my life Like no dead man
So I open my eyes and my soul you exhume
I been around some
Around enough to know
The darkness blinds me
The light it scares me so
I need your rope to
Pull me up again
Out to the living world
Back from the living dead
So while I'm away
I just wanted to say
You know that I
I don't want to spend the rest of my
life Like no deadman
I don't want to spend the rest of my days In this lonely tomb
I don't want to spend the rest of my
life Like no dead man
So I open my eyes and my soul you exhume I don't want to spend the
I don't want to spend the
I don't want to be no dead dead man
I don't want to spend the
I don't want to spend the
I don't want to be no dead dead man...
MILES ABOVE THE EARTH
Man was meant to walk the ground As free as light as free as sound
This is his nature this I say
Nothing stands in natures way
Man was meant to speak his mind It's through his words link all mankind
And all mankind must raise their hands
And talk there peace across the land
From far to near – From death to
birth It seems so clear -Miles above
the earth
Miles above the earth
Miles above the earth
Miles above the earth
Miles above the earth
Nations rise and nations fall
Nations war right through it all
And precious life is often spent In disputes insignificant
So take my hand and come with me
Above the land above the sea
Where race and culture fade to one
As you get closer to the sun
From far to near – From death
to birth It seems so clear -Miles above
the earth
Miles above the earth
Miles above the earth
Miles above the earth
Miles above the earth
So take my hand and come with me
Above the land above the sea
Where race and culture fade to one
As you get closer to the sun
From far to near – From death to
birth Well it seems so clear -Miles above
the earth
Miles above the earth
Miles above the earth
Miles above the earth
Miles above the earth
WEST OF EGYPT
Somewhere West of Egypt
Home late again last night
With a neon light for a welcome sign
Holy smokes laid out again
Close my eyes and start to dream
Looks like it’s gonna be a scream
When I go drifting down the Nile
Somewhere West of Egypt
Somewhere West of Egypt
Crocodile well he says hello
Hello yourself bud can I have a ride
To some place jamming cool all right
But keep your voice down way down low
My deads head man it would blow
If he knew I was hanging out with you guys
Somewhere West of Egypt
Somewhere West of Egypt
Sand dune in front my face
Hell it looks like wind
But it feels like rain
Looks like a storm is coming in
Cleopatra by my side
It’s gonna be one long good ride
When I get her alone with me tonight
Somewhere West of Egypt
West of Egypt
West of Egypt
West of Egypt
West of Egypt
CUTTING BACKFLIPS
I saw you just yesterday
Running wild down A1A
There was nothing I could say
Nothing I could do
You know your all wrapped up in mystery
Bordering on treachery
You don’t know what you do to me It’s true
Help me finish what I started
Don’t leave me broken hearted
I’m calling out there for your love
Let me be the man that your dreaming of
Because I’m running hot
In burning heat
I’m cutting backflips
In the street for you
Because I’m running hot
In burning heat
I’m cutting backflips
In the street for you
I drove your house last night
Looking for your bedroom light
Looking for the nerve to call you
On your roof
And such cowardice I do regret
I put out my last cigarette
Sometimes the dark feels better
Than the truth…
Help me finish what I started
Don’t leave me broken hearted
I’m calling out there for your love
Let me be the man that your dreaming of
Because I’m running hot
In burning heat
I’m cutting backflips
In the street for you
Because I’m running hot
In burning heat
I’m cutting backflips
In the street for you
Help me finish what I started
Don’t leave me broken hearted I’m calling out there for your love
Let me be the man that you’re dreaming of
Because I’m running hot
In burning heat
I’m cutting backflips
In the street for you
Because I’m running hot
In burning heat
I’m cutting backflips
In the street for you
RESTLESS NO MORE
Ain't never seen her face
But it is painted in my mind
With hues of white and blue
Undesicrated – safe in time
And if I had my say
I'd be with her today
One day her restless heart
Will find my restless heart
And we'll be restless no more
She dances around the shadows
Tempting fate with every step
The life that she breathes inside me
Feeds me till there's nothing left
Not much more I could say
Wouldn't matter anyway
One day her restless heart
Will find my restless heart
And we'll be restless no more
Not much more I could say
Wouldn't matter anyway
One day her restless heart
Will find my restless heart
And we'll be restless no more
So till then I will stand here
Restless with my heart in hand
Until the day I find her name
Scrawled somewhere in the sand
Not more much I could say
Wouldn't matter anyway
One day her restless heart Will find my restless heart
And we'll be restless no more
FALLING IN LOVE (AGAIN)
You stand there on your corner
A wink from your eye
And then you turn away
You want me to chase you darling
Should I stop right now
Or should I quicken my pace
You start to smile
And you don’t know why
It must be that time of the year
I don’t understand you
And I don’t know why
But it looks like it’s gonna happen again
So looks like I’m falling in love again Last time I fell
I said it’d never happen again
I’m running wide open
And I’m losing my breath
Looks like I’m falling in love
Falling in love again
You run me around in your circles
From maybe you do to maybe you don’t
But that’s ok cause I'm up for the chase girl I know you will
Though your head says you won’t
You start to smile
And you don’t know why
It must be that time of the year
I don’t understand you
And I don’t know why
But it looks like it’s gonna happen again
Looks like I’m falling in love again
Last time I fell
I said it’d never happen again
I’m running wide open
And I’m losing my breath
Looks like I’m falling in love
Falling in love again
All of your life
You can look for the answers
The answers are few and so far between
But that’s ok you got to take your chances
I’ll take my chances with you
Take your chances with me
You start to smile
And you don’t know why
It must be that time of the year
I don’t understand you
And I don’t know why
But it looks like it’s gonna happen again
So looks like I’m falling in love again
Last time I fell
I said it’d never happen again
I’m running wide open
And I’m losing my breath
Looks like I’m falling in love
Falling in love, I'm falling in love, falling in love,
I'm falling in love Falling in love, I'm falling in love, falling in love
I'm falling in love again...
Yes I am yes I am...
KINDRED SOULS
Lover I have found you here
Through this depthly dark abyss
Sprung to motion from your kiss
Sent forth to wander on
Deeper than these words allow
Fathoms farther still I vow
We are so much more than now
We are kindred souls
And in your heart is where I’m free Always there on side of me
Tumbling through eternity
With you my kindred soul
Dancing on the moon and stars
Twilight’s music plays for us
Dancing until our desires
Burn no more
Love boundless by time and space Wind nor fire can erase
This eternal embrace
We are kindred souls
And in your heart is where I’m free Always there on side of me
Tumbling through eternity
With you my kindred soul
Want to walk through your streets on fire Want to set your spirit to flame
Demons and angels heros and liars After all we are kindred we are kindred souls
And in your heart is where I’m free
Always there on side of me Tumbling through eternity With you my kindred soul With you my kindred soul With you my kindred soul With you my kindred soul With you my kindred soul With you my kindred soul With you my kindred soul With you my kindred soul...
