This ain’t no statement, just block abatement.

It’s so damn sick, I tell you Sick sick sick.

Oooooooh all right / The streets of the city come alive tonight / Oooooooh all right / The Old City walls shine golden tonight

Baby I know things are gonna get better for us / I know things can’t stay this way forever for us

It’s gonna live, breathe, and jump again.

My soul is in exile as long as it’s not one with you ...

Is this conflagration / The sorry culmination / Of a romance everybody said / Showed a sea of promise?

I was knocked out in the first round / Dead before I hit the ground

Well I heard it on the highway like the holy word of G-d / It was so loud and clear I had to pull over, I was so awed ...

There she stands straddling the boardwalk / Pushing out from the beach into the sea ...

First time, it all seems so new / Second time, hey it’s something I can do / Third time it sinks in and it all rings true ...

No more trying to merge with the mainstream / Let the mainstream merge with me.

Nothing can be the way it was before / Nothing stays the same, you can’t go back no more.

A man's ambition must be small ...

Put your clip in load your gun / You’re going into Lebanon / This ain’t no picnic you’re going on / You don’t take chances in Lebanon

So many people / Are needing me / For me there’s never anything in it

This is the time / the time of the season / This is the time / The season for completion.

Walked through the Old City just the other night / Heard a voice shouting “Do You See The Light!

Wasted years / Crying over wasted years.

I’m here for the good times / And I know the good times are never out of reach.
