Carmen must have been the Devils daughter At least he taught her how to wear her clothes And the boys followed her to the slaughter Where they fell like a row of dominoes They fell like a row of dominoes Don't let your past drive you under You know how a memory comes and goes Well the years rolled away just like thunder Where they fell like a row of dominoes They fell like a row of dominoes Won't you tell me how you been Something more than you've been feelin fine I'm havin that feelin again Theres a whole lot more to lay on the line A whole lot more to lay on the line Share and share alike you know I love you But I also love the way the wild wind blows So don't set your dreams up there above you Where they'll fall like a row of dominoes They'll fall like a row of dominoes They say a fool never knows what he misses And a wise man never misses what he knows What can I say your ten thousand kisses Fell on me like a row of dominoes They fell like a row of dominoes Won't you tell me how you been Something more than you've been feelin fine I'm havin that feelin again And the dominoes are standin in a line Yes the dominoes are standin in a line

before I met you baby the little things in life just passed me by the sound of children's laughter the tune to some forgotten lullaby i was out of town on business back when i had no place to call my home i was arrrested by your beauty we locked into a cell of all our own you know i love you baby what else could i do? so let me know if there's anything just anything i can do for you when i was just a youngster i collected crazy visions in my head yeah the scene from 'the night porter' a broken jelly jar crushed by the bed yes at times our love was fragile like a hand me down watch that slows down when its old but our love could last forever like a sacred ring of precious stones and gold you know i love you baby what else could i do? so let me know if there's anything just anything i can do for you before I met you baby the little things in life just passed me by the color of the twilight the reflection of my smile in your eyes you know i love you baby what else could i do? so let me know if there's anything just anything i can do for you

She was a princess, much lower than people thought A master of nothing a mistress of something she thought She could talk about things that never mattered ever From one person's miserable life after another She could talk to the French and Germans at will They'd never listen They never will The Chinese envoy was here The Chinese envoy was here but left The Chinese envoy was here The Chinese envoy was here but left Calling out her name you'd be surprised at what came Galloping out of the darkness like furniture We'd have lost it all if it hadn't been for Cardinal Richelieu And all his courtiers The Chinese envoy was here The Chinese envoy was here but left The Chinese envoy was here The Chinese envoy was here but left

Seen the arrow on the doorpost Saying, "This land is condemned All the way from New Orleans To Jerusalem." I traveled through East Texas Where many martyrs fell And I know no one can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell Well, I heard the hoot owl singing As they were taking down the tents The stars above the barren trees Were his only audience Them charcoal gypsy maidens Can strut their feathers well But nobody can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell See them big plantations burning Hear the cracking of the whips Smell that sweet magnolia blooming (And) see the ghosts of slavery ships I can hear them tribes a-moaning (I can) hear the undertaker's bell (Yeah), nobody can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell There's a woman by the fire With some fine young handsome man He's dressed up like a squire Bootlegged whiskey in his hand There's a chain gang on the highway I can hear them rebels yell And I know no one can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell Well, God is in heaven And we all want what's his But power and greed and corruptible seed Seem to be all that there is I'm gazing out the window Of the St. James Hotel And I know no one can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell

Close Watch 02:42
Never win and never lose There's nothing much to choose Between the right and wrong Nothing lost and nothing gained Still things aren't quite the same Between you and me I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I still hear your voice at night When I turn out the light And try to settle down But there's nothing much I can do Because I can't live without you Any way at all I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

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 C'mon 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 won'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 lived 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 Run with me Run with me Run with me Let's run

I've been a martyr for love And I will die in the flames As I draw my last breath As I'm close in on death I will call out your name I've been a martyr for love Nailed up on the cross While you're having your fun As the damage is done I'm assessing the cost I knew what I was letting myself in for I knew that I could never even the score I've been a martyr for love I need to be by your side I have knelt at your feet I have felt you deceit Could have leave if I tried I've been a martyr for love Tortured every hour From the day I was born I've been moved like a pawn By the greatest of powers I knew that I would have to suffer in vain Aware that I would never outgrow the pain
