When I was back there in seminary school There was a person there Who put forth the proposition That you can petition the Lord with prayer Petition the lord with prayer Petition the lord with prayer You cannot petition the lord with prayer!
Can you give me sanctuary I must find a place to hide A place for me to hide
Can you find me soft asylum I can't make it anymore The Man is at the door
Peppermint miniskirts, chocolate candy Champion sax and a girl named Sandy There's only four ways to get unraveled One is to sleep and the other is travel One is a bandit up in the hills One is to love your neighbor till His wife gets home
Catacombs Nursery bones Winter women Growing stones (Carrying babies to the river)
Streets and shoes, Avenues Leather riders selling news (The monk bought lunch)
Successful hills are here to stay Everything must be this way Gentle streets where people play Welcome to the Soft Parade
All our lives we sweat and save Building for a shallow grave Must be something else we say Somehow to defend this place (Everything must be this way Everything must be this way)
The Soft Parade has now begun Listen to the engines hum People out to have some fun A cobra on my left Leopard on my right, yeah
Deer woman in a silk dress Girls with beads about their necks Kiss the hunter of the green vest Who has wrestled before With lions in the night
Out of sight! The lights are getting brighter The radio is moaning Calling to the dogs There are still a few animals Left out in the yard But it's getting harder To describe sailors To the underfed
Tropic corridor Tropic treasure What got us this far To this mild equator
We need someone or something new Something else to get us through
Calling on the dogs Calling on the dogs Calling on the dogs Calling on the dogs Calling in the dogs Calling all the dogs Calling on the gods Meet me at the crossroads Meet me at the edge of town Outskirts of the city Just you and I And the evening sky You'd better come alone You'd better bring your gun We're gonna have some fun
When all else fails We can whip the horses' eyes And make them sleep And cry....

There will never be Another one like you There will never be Another one who can Do the things you do, Oh
Will you give another chance? Will you try a little try? Please stop and you'll remember We were together Aanyway All right!
Now, if you have a certain evening You could lend to me I'd give it all right back to you Know how it has to be, with you I know your moods And your mind And your mind And your mind And your mind And you're mine
Will you stop and think and wonder? Just what you'll see Out on the train-yard Nursing penitentiary It's gone I cry out long
Go head, brother
Did you stop to consider How it will feel, Cold grinding grizzly bear jaws Hot on your heels
Do you often stop and whisper It's Saturday's shore The whole world's a savior, Who could ever ever ever ever, ever, ever Ask for more?
Do you remember? Will you stop? Will you stop, the pain?
There will never be another one Like you There will never be Another one who can Do the things you do, Oh
Will you give another chance? Will you try, a little try? Please stop and you'll remember We were together Anyway All right
How you must think and wonder How I must feel Out on the meadows While you're on the field I'm alone for you And I cry
"He's sweatin', look at him... optical promise... you'll be dead and in hell before I'm born... Sure thing...bridesmaid... The only solution... Isn't it amazing?"
Yeah!, 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
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now Now touch me, baby 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?
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 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
