You caught me staring
So gently you tease me And turn away Unlike the young ones Your movements you savor Like a tango My hideaways Are longing For you You slyly conjure These moments surrounding Keep me tonight All your practiced ways You secretly Entice me Come here woman Like an old window I need a little shade Like an old tomcat Lord, I love to parade Like a broken old man Lord, I need sun Ah, I need you darlin' 'Cause I just ain't done I need you darlin' 'Cause I just ain't done While wheel waters set Now my blood yearns Your mouth opens woman Give me broken lies When you don't feel pain Let me smell your thighs, mama Let me drink down a little rain, man While we're drifting cold Out beyond the seas We wither time into a coil of fear |

Now the sun
Sits on my hand Oh, where Are you? Walking the wind I fly above The shore of the town To the hills Where I can hear The harbor bells Ring slavery Where the fortune teller sighs to me Oh, I see your woman in the raw Ride A mare of stone And howl I woke up While morning built The world With light Crossing their hearts Twelve sailor boys All stood in a ring 'Round our bed Out of the grass A dancer rose Shivering Oh, the sailor's pointing Out to sea And the dancer diving Up the sky Sing 'Til we forgot The day |

Under a loop of stars
In the vulgar cold The dead airport lay By the pebbles of the highway Through the snail clouds You soared to your lover I hurried away my darling With a howl in my throat Hiding inside the weeds In the orange grove The black rooster crowed Through the hollow of the midnight With my shot blood With stains on my fingers I run with the damned, my darling They have taught me to laugh To laugh, to laugh |

'comme la chanson est belle'
Chantez la mademoiselle Dansant dans le moulin rouge 'love is a leap' she sighed 'someday I'll be your bride, When I leave the moulin rouge' Je vais marier ma fille de danse Et habiter en france 'comme la chanson est belle' Chantez la mademoiselle Dansant dans le moulin rouge Dansant dans le moulin rouge Dansant dans le moulin rouge 'oh la la la' she sang Spinning till midnight swang, Dancing in the moulin rouge I love her love I do, All of her children too, Oh I thank you, moulin rouge! Je vais marier ma fille de danse Et habiter en france 'comme la chanson est belle' Chantez la mademoiselle Dansant dans le moulin rouge Dansant dans le moulin rouge Dansant dans le moulin rouge |

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang Sail to me, sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am, here I am Waiting to hold you Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks For you sing 'Touch me not, touch me not Come back tomorrow Oh, my heart, oh, my heart Shies from the sorrow' I am as puzzled as the oyster I am as troubled at the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with death my bride? Hear me sing 'Swim to me, swim to me Let me enfold you Oh, my heart, oh, my heart Is waiting to hold you' |

Somewhere old memories
Echoed from the street in a crying hole Just a song from long ago When I lost my easy gods to the Harlem insect laws I heard your baited moans And the passing cars and the swirling Songs and the black man's bones Through the walls and the stalls and the cackling calls You were there You were an island behind the sun Yes, an island Where my love could live and life breathes From deep inside Deep, deep, deep, deep inside Mama Lie, I love you like a jungle fire |

Way down on the borderline
Down where white folks tread easy That sun beats so hot sun beats so hot When a little girl pass by You can smell the way she walks You can smell, you can smell the way she walks In late afternoon Ah, in late Little girl little girl little girl Smile so brightly Come on boy come on boy Oh Take a walk with me |
