Take The Night Off / I Was An Eagle / You Know / Breathe - Live

You should begone beast
 Begone from me
 Begone from my mind at least
 Let a little lady be
 I don't want you to want me
 Wouldn't want you to know
 I don't care where you've gone beast
 I care you go
 Take the night off
 And be bad for me
 Take your right off
 And be bad for me
 You're a night bird, early riser
 You have the kind of wing
 To take her and surprise her
 I didn't understand where you had gone
 Didn't know you'd be right back
 I didn't hear the night song
 Calling for you into the black
 Take the night off
 And be bad for me
 Didn't ask you to save me
 Not when you knew me well
 Wouldn't ask you even to behave for me
 I know there's no helping hell
 Take the night off
 And be bad for me
 Take your right off
 And be bad for me
 So your grandmother sounds to me
 A woman I would be proud to be
 And you say she reminds you of me
 Every little boy is so naive
 I will not be a victim of romance
 I will not be a victim of circumstance
 Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
 Who could get his dirty little hands on me
 So your grandfather sounds like me
 Head up shoulders back and proud to be
 Every little girl is so naive
 Falling in love with the first man that she sees
 I will not be a victim of romance
 I will not be a victim of circumstance
 Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
 Who could get his dirty little hands on me
 When we were in love (if we were)
 When we were in love
 I was an eagle
 And you were a dove
 Today I will feel something other than regret
 Pass me a glass and half-smoked cigarette
 I've damn near got no dignity left
 I've damn near got no dignity left
 I will not be a victim of romance
 I will not be a victim of circumstance
 Chance or romance or circumstance, or any man
 Who could get his dirty little hands on me
 When we were in love (if we were)
 When we were in love
 I was an eagle
 And you were a dove
 When we were in love (if we were)
 When we were in love
 You were a dove
 And I rose above you and preyed
 Damn all those people
 Who don't lose control
 Who will never take a foot out of life
 You might not think that I care
 But you don't know what I know
 And damn all those hippies
 Who stomp empty footed
 Upon all what's good
 All what's pure of the world
 You might not think that I care
 But you don't know what I know
 And bless all those mothers
 Who do all they can
 Just to take the faults out of the line
 I might not know what it's like
 But I'm glad that you know
 Give me a minute there
 Just a minute now
 It'll come back to me
 And I was so sure
 But you
 Free wheelin troubadour
 You took my mind off the scene
 And you, I know, I know
 I know that you know
 You asked me blind once
 If I was a child once I said I'm really not sure
 How can you know
 How can you know
 What it is you don't know
 We were a pair once
 Of no such despair once
 We were a child then I'm sure
 If we were a child then we are children no more
 Give me a minute there
 Just a minute now
 It'll come back to me
 And I was so sure
 But you
 Free wheelin troubadour
 You took my mind off the scene
 And you, I know, I know
 I know, I know that you know
 You know, you know, you know
 when I know that you know
 "Breathe"
 You came here to tell me something I already know
 Dark before the dawn is the darkest that you know
 The calm before the storm
 Is what leaves me here to breathe
 So breathe
 Us of constant banging
 Throwing fists against the wall
 Screaming at the earth for what
 It's done to one and all
 I came here to tell you something
 You already know
 Just Breathe
 Breathe
 How cruel I am to you
 Cruel things I do
 How cruel you were to me
 How cruel time can be
 I wrote you a book
 But I left it out in the rain
 Left it there to dry
 But it got rained on once again
 Us of constant banging
 Throwing fists against the wall
 Breathe
 Breathe
 How cruel you are to me
 How cruel time can be
 How cruel I was to you
 How cruel things I do
 When you wake you'll know I'm gone
 And where I'm going there's no one
 So don't follow me
 Whatever you may hear or see
 Don't follow me
 Whatever you may hear or see
