| Mojo: Ya
see, the birth of rock and roll coincided with my adolescence, my coming
into awareness. It was a real turn-on, although at the time I could never
allow myself to rationally fantasize about ever doing it myself. I guess
all that time I was unconsciously accumulating inclination and nerve. My
subconscious had prepared the whole thing. I didn't think about it. It
was just thought about. I heard a whole concertsituation, with a band and
singing and an audience, a large audience. Those first five or six songs
I wrote, I was just taking notes at a fantastic rock concert that was going
on inside my head. Actually, I think themusic came first, and then I made
up the words to hang on tho the melody, some kind of sound. I could hear
it and since I had no way of writing it down musically, the only way I
could remember it was to try and get words to put to it. And a lot of the
times I would end up with just the words and couldn't remember the melody.
Once I had written these songs I just had to find a way to sing them.
WHEN
THE MUSIC'S OVER
When
the music's over
When the music's over here
When the music's over
Turn out the lights,
Turn out the lights,
Turn out the lights,
Yeah, Yeah
(repeat
first verse)
For
the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends.
Music is your only friend
Until the end.
Cancel
my subscription to the resurrection.
Send my credentials to the house of detention.
I got some friends inside,
The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends
Alive she cried
Waiting for me
Outside.
Before
I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear, I want to hear,
The scream of the butterfly.
Come back baby, back into my arms.
We're
getting tired of hanging around.
Waiting around
with our heads
to the ground.
I hear a very gentle sound
Very near yet very far
Very soft yet very clear
Come today, Come today.
What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her,
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn and
Tied her with fences and dragged her down.
I
hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it
We want the world and we want it
Now
Now?
NOW!!!
Persian
night!
See the light!
Save us!
Jesus
Save us
So
when the music's over
When the music's over here
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end, until the end.

The future’s uncertain and the end is always near.

HELLO, I LOVE YOU
Hello,
I love you
Won't you tell me your name.
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game.
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name.
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game.
She's
walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh
(repeat
first verse)
She
holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song
Sidewalk
crouches at ther feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see you fool
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel
Hello,
Hello, Hello, Hello
TOUCH
ME
C’mon,
c’mon, c’mon, c’mon now, Touch me, babe,
Can’t you see that I am not afraid
What was that promise that you made,
Why won’t you tell me what she said,
What was that promise that she made
Now
I’m gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I’m gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I.
(repeat)

Love me twice today;
Love me two times, girl,

Love me two times, girl,
One for tomorrow, one just for today.
Love me two times,
I'm goin' away.
Love

Could not speak;
Love me one time,
Yeah, my knees got weak.
Love me two times, girl,
Last me all through the week;
Love me two times,
I'm goin' away.
Love me two times,
I'm goin' away.

LIGHT MY FIRE
You
know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The
time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose,
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
It
was the greatest night of my life
For although I had not found a wife
I had my friends right here beside me
We scaled the wall
We tripped through the graveyard
Ancient shapes were all around us.
No music, but the wet grass felt fresh beside the fog.
Two made love in a silent spot
One chased a rabbit into the dark
A girl got drunk and balled the dead
And I gave empty sermons to my head
Cemetary, cool and quiet,
Hate to leave your sacred lay
Dread the milky coming of the day
I want to stay
I want to stay
I want to stay
The
time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose,
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
You
know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire!
