Always said you were a Youthquaker, Edie
A stormy little world shaker
Warhol's darling queen, Edie
An angel with a broken wing

The dogs lay at your feet, Edie
We carressed you cheek
Stars wrapped in your hair, Edie
Life without a care
But your not there
Your never there

Caught up in an endless scene
Paradise a shattered dream
Why'd all the shit you took, Edie
Your innocence dripped blood, sweet child

Sweet little sugar talker
Paradise dream stealer
Warhol's Darling queen, Edie
Innocence dripped blood, sweet child

Why did you kiss the world goodbye
Ciao Baby
Don't you know paradise takes time
It takes time, but your not there
Fade away now
But your not there
Ciao Edie

Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey,
Oh, since I set my eyes on you.
I tell you the truth.
Twistin' like a flame in a slow dance, baby,
You're driving me crazy.
Come on, little honey, come on now!

Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!

You shake it up, you're to blame, got me swayin' little honey.
My heart's a ball of burnin' flame.
Oh, yes it is.
Trancing like a cat on a hot tin shack,
Lord, have mercy! Come on little sister, come on and shake it!

Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!

I was thinking what I've been missing.
I'll tell you truthfully, well.
She's coming close now.
I can feel her.

She's getting close to me.
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!

Fire woman you're to blame

Soldier Blue, bloodstained red
Hey people, he's gonna bust your head
A real bad dream, you know it's true
Kiss his boots or you'll be through
Out of the night comes soldier right
Line you up in his gunsight
His mind's exploded, ego's overloaded
Hey children, start a running

Soldier Blue, love is out of season
Soldier Blue, fighting for no reason

Soldier Blue, soldier fright
He's gonna bust up everything in sight
A real heavy dude in a killing mood
Pack your bags or you'll be through
He's guaranteed to shatter all your dreams
His mind's exploded, ego's overloaded
Hey children, start a running

I have seen the sunset, the sea on fire
Ships burn off the coast of Orion
Dreams of peace wait on the horizon
Clouds filled with blood rain on the water
While night time's fingers clench the light shut
Our sister rides the horse Apocalypse
Now is the closing
Love has no season

I saw a rainbow stretched across the ocean
Crashed the Big Apple
So I took a bite
Found a taste I like
But she bit me back

I jumped across the ocean
Found a Big Apple
So I took a bite
She teased me with a taste
Laid my soul to waste
Stabbed me in the back

Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ
I ain't never coming back
Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ
I ain't never coming back

Pressure never stops
Pressure never drops
Lennon got fried
Said it was a crime
Said it was a pity
No one even cried

Hell's Kitchen is a crazy place
I ain't never coming back
Hell's Kitchen is a crazy place
I ain't never coming back

New York City, New York City
New York City, New York City

Hell's Kitchen is a DMZ
I'm never coming back, no
Disneyland trash can baby
It'll give you a heart attack
Times Square shuffle, Manhattan flip
Twenty four hour groove
Working up a frenzy baby
People push on through

Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time For freedom, baby

There's someone knocking on my door
A tall dark figure I've never seen before
His badge shone brightly like a star in the sky
drag me out to the waiting car

Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby

A flock of vultures spinning round my head
left me on the roadside for dead
cars pass by but no one stares
These waking dreams they never end

Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, you we gotta try

Law man on the bank now honey
Hound dog on my trail
Wake up time for freedom
before the night prevails

There's someone knocking on my door
A tall dark figure I've never seen before
is that your ----- like a star in the sky
He drag me out to the waiting car

Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby
