All I say is thank you to my mother,
To my father, my brothers and sisters

To be in my dream, to be not full of sorrow
And we call you to be in this way

All I say is…

Some people say to be fat is not nice,
But I tell them to me it's perfect.
My father only told me to be in the eye of all them,
And not to be sad about what people say, but I'm not no no

All I say is…

I'm happy to be, to be on this way,
When you not let me play

All I say is....

There wasn抰 room
Inside that smoke-filled room
You were beside yourself
Not beside me

You抳e caught up
You believe that you抳e grown up
We know you thought that up, needless to say
You had your way, king for a day
You always see that you have your way

I抎 suggest
If they were to be impressed
And see you at your best
It would be without me

But you never knew
What I could be without you
What I could ever do
Without you
Without you
I抎 start anew
I抎 take control
I could be just like you...

smells on the air
see there its crushing
the final impression
the stains on the paper
where words fell like water
unearth all the changes that never did matter
i think its beginning to freeze here
caught in the rage and the fire of things
all the brightness that burns me
im fumbling through like a child in the dark
when the nakedness comes i am
shocked by the colour
the glorious weight of your skin
comes alive
and i never thought we'd make it back so soon
might be nice but i knew you'd be your own destroyer
comes a time
and i always thought i'd make it up to you

here please forgive me
how could we escape all the bitterness piled upon
bitterness
held in the face of the things
that i don't understand intellectualize over
and over
this helplessness suits us
its funny how quiet it has slipped to our corners
and worn all our edges away you are watching
breathing and baiting
wanting and warming
and cautiously waiting for some simple signal
to creep cross your conscience
uncover redemption and oh did i mention i carried you down
to the St. Lawrence river
the banks running dirty
the waters beginning to freeze here
solid by morning and i'll freeze here
winter by morning
comes alive
and i never thought you'd get me back so soon
might be nice but its only if my own destroyer
comes alive
and i always knew i'd make it up to you

i saw on your face such a curious grin
as i let go your hand i was
desperate to hold you again
but you're sinking
to deep in the water outsmarted myself and so easily
gave up what i wanted
solid by morning
what i wanted
winter by morning
comes alive
and i never thought you'd make it up so soon
might be nice but i always knew you're my destroyer
comes a time
and i always thought i'd make it up to you

solid by morning
and i'll freeze here
winter by morning

She was a Mexican girl, she had Mexican blood
I seen it the night that she died
She was a Mexican girl, she had Mexican blood
Oh how she could drive that Mexican boy wild

He's on the run near El Paso
And he'll cross all across America
He's leaving behind old Mexico
And his girl that pretty Mexican girl that died

She had Mexican blood

He was a Mexican boy with a Mexican smile
And he drank a little tequila
He was a Mexican boy in a Mexican town
And oh how he loved his young senorita

Now and then he'd cross the Rio Grande
And he'd come back a wanted hunted man
And his Mexican girl was his Mexican prize
And that girl was his girl that pretty Mexican girl that died

She had Mexican blood

He was a cowboy's boy and a cowboy's son
And on his side he had a gun
He was a cowboy's boy, he was the law
He was out looking for someone

That night he rode into town
The Mexican boy tried to gun him down
That's when his heart broke up inside 'cause lying on the ground
Was his girl that pretty Mexican girl, she died

She had Mexican blood

He loved her and she loved him
And when he lost her
Oh how it hurt him

He loved her
I seen it the night she died
That's when he lost her

Now his heart is broken
He loved her and she loved him
And when he lost her he lost everything

The snow outside has lost its whiteness
In the glass of puddle we see the moon
We are walking, we are strong
Frozen fingers break matches, the matches will burn the fire
CHORUS
Try to sing along
Stand close to me
This is our day, we know it by stars
Omens of fire and water, the gods cast their eyes
And we step onto the unfinished bridge
We believe in our stars and everybody cries out: I'm ready!
CHORUS
And the weak, they hit the bottle and live from bottle to bottle
They complain; they don't let us sing, you can't sing here
But we are walking on, we are strong
Our frozen fingers break the matches, the matches will burn the fire
CHORUS

Lie in the pale summer heat
Find a clock as it ticks
Oh, to never sleep
But the clock ticks so loud
Like the cracking of whips
Till the sun slowly heaves
>From the blood hungry land
To its heaven of blue
Run, through the dust and the stones
Like a stream as it flows
Through the kingdom of peace
But a beast roamed his head
Like the aching of guilt
As it bakes in the heat
As its swollen tongue speaks
Robs the old of their breath
Hang beneath dawns scarlet arch
Where the wind ever moans
Like the slaveship it drifts
