Live from mars - 2001

Glory And Consequence

I'm more afraid of living
than I am scared to die
I'm more afraid of falling
than I am of flying high
Every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

I'm more afraid of loving
than I am of being scorned
but I will keep on trying
though I have been forewarned

Every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

I would rather me be lonely
and you have someone to hold
I'm not as scared of dying
as I am of growing old.

Every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

Voodoo Chile

(by Jimi Hendrix)

Well, I'm a voodoo chile
Lord I'm a voodoo chile

Well, the night I was born
Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out "lord, the gypsy was right!"
And I seen her fell down right dead
(Have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there,
And set me on a eagles wing
(Its' the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,
And when he brought me back,
He gave me a venus witch's ring
Hey!
And he said "Fly on, fly on"
Because I'm a voodoo chile, baby, voodoo chile
Hey!

Well, I make love to you,
And lord knows you'll feel no pain
Say, I make love to you in your sleep,
And lord knows you felt no pain
(Have mercy)
'Cause I'm a million miles away
And at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame
(Yeah! What did I say now)
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
(Way down by the Methabe Sea, yeah)
I have a humming bird and it hums so loud,
You think you were losing your mind, hmmm...

Well I float in liquid gardens
And Arizona new red sand
(Yeah)
I float in liquid gardens
Way down in Arizona red sand

Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue,
Way down in California
And the n New York drowns as we hold hands

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
Yeah!

The Woman In You

Could have sworn I heard you say amen this morning
Showing some kind of sign that you believe
Did it fall from your tongue without warning
Or just another trick to fall from your sleeve?
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels
I guess I bring the devil out in you
But we can both remove our haloes
'Cos even an angel needs love too
Even an angel needs love too
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me

Some things never change
Some things never stay the same
But you are so innocent
I'll take all the blame
How I hate to remember
For that means the day is past
Sometimes I wonder if I know her
Or if I really need to ask
Or if I really need to ask

The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman

Half man walks with no shadow
Of life he utters his distaste
No apology is expected
Love carved sorry in is his face
Love carved sorry in is his face

The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you, in you, is the worry in me
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman



Ground On Down

I believe in a few things
God the devil and love
cause I've looked up from the bottom
and I've stared down from above
I have faith in a few things
divinity and grace
but even when I'm on my knees
I know the devil prays

and you're working your way
from the ground on down

I hate to say I love you
because it means that I
will be with you forever
or will sadly say goodbye

I love to say I hate you
because it means that I
will live my life happily without you
or will sadly live a lie

and you're working your way
from the ground on down

life is short
and if your lookin' for extension
with your time
you had best do well

cause there's good deeds
and there is good intention
they're as far apart
as heaven and hell

and you're working your way
from the ground on down



Steal My Kisses

I put into Nashville, Tennessee
But you wouldn't even come around to see me
You seemed to headin' up to Carolina
You know I gonna be right there behind you
'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain
Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounds of things
And to see it fall on your simple country dress
It's like heaven to me I must confess

'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I've been hangin' around you for days
But when I lean in you just turn your head away
Wo, I know you didn't mean that
She said I love the way you think
But I hate the way you act

'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you



Burn One Down

Let us burn one
from end to end
and pass it over
to me my friend
burn it long, we'll burn it slow
to light me up before I go
if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down

my choice is what I choose to do
and if I'm causing no harm
it shouldn't bother you
your choice is who you choose to be
and if your causin' no harm
then you're alright with me

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down

herb the gift from the earth
and what's from the earth
is of the greatest worth
so before you knock it try it first
you'll see it's a blessing
and not a curse

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down



Mama's Got A Girlfriend Now

Papa, he left home today
Said he ain't comin' back again
Said he ain't gonna be nobody's second best
Just cause mama's got a special kind of friend
Papa, he left home today
Said he ain't comin' back no more
Said he ain't gonna take no damn back seat
And how could mama do him so low

But mama's got a girlfriend now, boy
Mama's got a girlfriend now
Mama's got a girlfriend
Mama's got a true friend
Mama's got a girlfriend now

You see Mama don't watch your damn football
And your beer drinkin' just won't do
You're just stayin' out late
And you're preachin' the hate
And you never have been true

You see mama she want her somebody
who will let her be herself
So she's leavin' you and your stinky damn ways
cause she's found somebody else

And Mama's got a girlfriend now boy
Mama's got a girlfriend now
Mama's got a girlfriend
Mama's found a true friend
Mama's got a girlfriend now

Papa he left home today
He was wavin' his hands and cryin'
You could tell by the sound and the tone in his voice
that his heart was slowly dyin'
But mama said "Boy if I ever
catch you round here again
You ain't never gonna have
nobody else not a woman or a man"

And mama's got a girlfriend now boy
Mama's got a girlfriend now
Mama's got a girlfriend
Mama found a true friend
Mama's got a girlfriend now
Mama's got a girlfriend now boy
Mama's got a girlfriend now
Mama's got a girlfriend
Mama's found a true friend
Mama's got a girlfriend now



Welcome To The Cruel World

Welcome to the cruel world
hope you find your way
welcome to the cruel world
hope you find your way
it's a cruel world
try to enjoy your stay
Yes it is a cruel world
when you're tryin' to get by
it's a cruel world
when you've seen the look in their eye
makes life hard living
but I'm so scared to die

Welcome to the cruel world
welcome
welcome

Don't know how
we've lasted here so long
there must be more good than bad
or we'd already be gone
and if you get up to Heaven
before I do
I'm gonna tell ya
It's gonna be cruel there too

You can't hide from this cruel world
cause there is no place to run
you can't hide from the cruel world
there just is no place to run
it's been cruel from the beginning
it will be cruel when we're done

So when I'm gone
I will gladly say goodbye
when I am gone
I will gladly say goodbye
and if you want to feel me
put your hands up to the sky

Welcome to the cruel world
welcome
welcome
hope you find your way
try to enjoy your stay



Forgiven

I will wait like nothing
I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling
Until from my hands they fall
You can leave me abandoned
I'll be here if you want back in
Like the rest I have been branded
Far beneath the skin
So far beneath the skin
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven

Here I have been standing
While the time has come and gone
I tried singing to you
But you turned my words to stone
Here I have been waiting
It seems for quite a while
Changed on my reflections
But inside still just a child
But inside still just a child

You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven

These eyes weren't made for crying
This love wasn't made to waste
These arms weren't made for battle
But to share in your embrace
But to share in your embrace

You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven



Faded

You so easily amuse
like a pantomime
such a silent crime
You so easily abuse
lack of confidence
it's your best offense

You so easily confuse
you can't deny it
still you try to hide it

Faded
so faded
like a memory gone
there's no recollection
Faded
so faded
like a forgotten dream
further than it seems

You so hastily defy
when you think you need it
you find a way to bleed it

You so hastily deny
pleading innocence
it's your best defense

You so hastily reply
the moment that you said it
already regret it

Faded
so faded
like a memory gone
there's no recollection
Faded
so faded
like a forgotten dream
further than it seems



Whole Lotta Love

Waiting On An Angel

Waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come to see me soon
cause I don't want to go alone
I don't want to go alone
Now angel won't you come by me
angel hear my plea
take my hand lift me up
so that I can fly with thee
so that I can fly with thee

And I'm waiting on an angel
and I know it won't be long
to find myself a resting place
in my angel's arms
in my angel's arms

So speak kind to a stranger
cause you'll never know
it just might be an angel come
knockin' at your door
knockin' at your door

And I'm waiting on an angel
and I know it won't be long
to find myself a resting place
in my angel's arms
in my angel's arms

Waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come to see me soon
cause I don't want to go alone
I don't want to go alone
don't want to go
I don't want to go alone



Roses From My Friends

I could have treated you better
but you couldn't have treated me worse
but it's he who laughs last
is he who cries first
Sometimes I feel I know strangers
better than I know my friends
why must a beginning
be the means to an end

The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
but I cannot survive
the roses from my friends

When the last word has been spoken
and we've beared witness to the final setting sun
all that shall remain is a token
of what we've said and done

When all we've had has been forsaken
distant church bells no longer ring
that's the sound of a heart taken
and the story of tears from a king

The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
but I cannot survive
the roses from my friends

This may be the last time I see you
forgive me for holding you close
this may be the last time that I see you
so of this moment I will make the most

This may be the last time I see you
but if you keep me in your heart
together we shall be eternal
if you believe
we shall never part

The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
but I cannot survive
the roses from my friends



Power Of The Gospel

It will make a weak man mighty
it will make a mighty man fall
it will fill your heart and hands
or leave you with nothing at all
it's the eyes for the blind
and legs for the lame
it is love for hate
and pride for shame
that's the power of the gospel
that's the power of the gospel
that's the power of the mighty power
that's the power of the gospel

gospel on the water
gospel on the land
the gospel in every woman
the gospel in every man
gospel in the garden
gospel in the trees
the gospel that's inside of you
the gospel inside of me

that's the power of the gospel
that's the power of the gospel
that's the power of the mighty power
that's the power of the gospel

in the hour of richness
in the hour of need
for all of creation
comes from the gospel seed
now you may leave tomorrow
and you may leave today
but you've got to have the gospel
when you start out on your way

that's the power of the gospel
that's the power of the gospel
that's the power of the mighty power
that's the power of the gospel



Pleasure And Pain

I'm leaving here on the morning train
and I will never see this world again
I've felt pleasure
and I have felt pain
and I know now
that I can never be the same
How I wonder why the world can be so cold
and if only good die young
then left with me cruel here to grow old
and I felt pleasure
an I felt pain
and I know now
I can never be the same

And if someday I find my peace of mind
I will share my wealth with all of human kind
I've felt pleasure
and I have felt pain
and I know now
that I can never be the same

So if the sun does shine or rain does fall
I give thanks I've had my sight to see through it all
and I've felt pleasure
and I have felt pain
and I know now
that I can never be the same



Please Bleed

Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle
That cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running
As if I've lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying
Tears I don't deserve
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Whooo, Who have I become?
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb

Is this really living
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Or is it just a kind of gentler hell
Turn out the lights
And let me stare into your soul
I was born and bled for you to hold

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Whooo, Who have I become?
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb

Never said thank you
Never said please
Never gave reason to believe
So as it stands
I remain on my knees
Good lovers make great enemies

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Whooo, Who have I become
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Whooo, Who have I become
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb



The Drugs Don't Work

(by The Verve)

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down
And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead
All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead
But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
(...)



In The Lord's Arms

Like the wings stolen from an angel
Like petals that go from a rose
Like a dove caught in a storm
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

The wind it blew straight through us
And whispered to me in tongues
I was told I was born

Tonight you'll be in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

So I drink this wine to him
With each glass of memory
He left with his crown of thornes

Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms



Not Fire, Not Ice

There is not a river wide
Not a mountain high
And neither sin nor evil
Could change how I feel inside
Could change how I feel inside
Not all the strength of the ocean
Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun
Now, others have tried, I just can't deny
To me you are the one
To me you are the one
The true love is priceless
For true love you pay a price
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire no not ice
Not fire no not ice
Like a hero or a champion
You are the best, you're the best
Like religion or superstition
With you I am blessed
With you I am blessed
Now the river may grow wider
The mountain may reach past the sky
And wether or not you feel same
My love shall never die
My love shall never die
The true love you give and take
The true love is sacrifice
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire no not ice
Not fire no not ice



Beloved One

We have both been here before
Knockin upon love's door
Begging for someone to let us in
Knowing this we can agree
To keep each other company
Never to go down that road again
My beloved one, my beloved one

Your eyes shine through me
You are so divine to me
Your heart has a home in mine
We won't have to say a word
With a touch all shall be heard
When I search my heart it's you I find

My beloved one, my beloved one, my beloved one

You were meant for me
I believe you were sent to me
From the dreams trailing to my heart
Hold your body close to me
You mean most to me
We will keep each other safe from harm

My beloved one, my beloved one, my beloved one



Number Three

(Instrumental)



Walk Away

Oh no
here comes that sun again
that means another day
without you my friend
And it hurts me
to look into the mirror at myself
and it hurts even more
to have to be with somebody else
and it's so hard to do
and so easy to stay
but sometimes
sometimes you just have to walk away
walk away

With so many people
to love in my life
why do I worry
about one

But you put the happy
in my ness
you put the good times
into my fun
and it's so hard to do
and so easy to stay
but sometimes
sometimes you just have to walk away
walk away
and head for the door

We've tried the goodbye
so many days
we walk in the same direction
so that we could never stray
they say if you love somebody
than you have got to set them free
but I would rather be locked to you
than live in this pain and misery

They say time will
make all this go away
but it's time that has taken my tomorrows
and turned them into yesterdays
and once again you my friend
are nowhere to be found
and it's so hard to do
and so easy to stay
but sometimes
sometimes you just have to walk away
walk away
and head for the door
you just walk away
walk away



Another Lonely Day

Yes indeed I'm alone again
and here comes emptiness crashing in
it's either love or hate
I can't find in between
cause I've been with witches
and I have been with a queen
it wouldn't have worked out any way
so now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day

wish there was something
I could say or do
I can resist anything
but temptation from you
but I'd rather walk alone
than chase you around
I'd rather fall myself
than let you drag me down

it wouldn't have worked out any way
and now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day

yesterday seems like a life ago
cause the one I love
today I hardly know
you I held so close in my heart oh dear
grow further from me
with every fallen tear

it wouldn't have worked out any way
so now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day



Like A King

Well Martin's dream
has become Rodney's worst
nightmare
can't walk the streets
to them we are fair game
our lives don't mean a thing
like a king, like a king, like a king
Rodney King, Rodney King, Rodney King
like a king, like a king, like a king
how I wish you could help us Dr. King
Make sure it's filmed
shown on national T.V.
they'll have no mercy
a legal lynch mob
like the days strung up from the tree
the L.A.P.D.
like a king, like a king, like a king
Rodney King, Rodney King, Rodney King
like a king, like a king, like a king
how I wish you could help us Dr. King
So if you catch yourself
thinking it has changed for the best
you better second guess
cause Martin's dream
has become Rodney's worst
nightmare
like a king, like a king, like a king
Rodney King, Rodney King, Rodney King
like a king, like a king, like a king
how I wish you could help us Dr. King



I'll Rise

You may write me down in history
with your bitter twisted lies
you may trod me down in the very dirt
and still like the dust I'll rise
does my happiness upset you
why are you best with gloom
Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well
pumpin' in my living room
So you may shoot me with your words
you may cut me with your eyes
and I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
out of the shacks of history's shame
up from a past rooted in pain
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise

Now did you want to see me broken
bowed head and lowered eyes
shoulders fallen down like tear drops
weakened by my soulful cries

Does my confidence upset you
don't you take it awful hard
cause I walk like I've got a diamond mine
breakin' up in my front yard

So you may shoot me with your words
you may cut me with your eyes
and I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
out of the shacks of history's shame
up from a past rooted in pain
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise

So you may write me down in history
with your bitter twisted lies
you may trod me down in the very dirt
and still like the dust I'll rise
does my happiness upset you
why are you best with gloom
cause I laugh like I've got a goldmine
Diggin' up in my living room

So you may shoot me with your words
you may cut me with your eyes
and I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
out of the shacks of history's shame
up from a past rooted in pain
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
