I can hear the turning of the key I've
been deceived by the clown inside of me
I thought that he was righteous
but he's vain
Oh, something's telling me
I wear the ball and chain
My patron saint is fighting
with the ghost
He's always off somewhere
when I need him most
The
Span ish moon is rising on the hill
But my heart is telling me
I love you still
Come back to the town from
the flame and the moon
I see you in the streets,
I begin to swoon I'd love to see you dressed before the mead
Won't you let me in
your room one time
Before I finally disappear
Everybody's wearin' their dis guise
To hide what they've got
left behind their
But me, I can't cover what I am
Wherever the children go,
I'll follow them
I march in the parade of liberty
But as long as I love you, I'm not free
How long must I suffer such abuse
Won't you let me see you smile
before I turn you loose
I've given up the game, I've got to leave
The treasure can't be found,
it's make -believe
The pot of gold is found by men who search,
whose gods are dead and whose queens are in
the church.
Now we sit in an empty theater and we kiss,
I ask you please to trounce me off your list.
My head tells me it's time
to make a change
But my heart is telling me I love
you but you're strange
So one more time at mid
night near the wall
Take off your heavy makeup
and your shawl
Won't you des cend from the
throne from where you sit?
Let me feel your love
one more time before
I...
