Fallen Angel

Ooo, sexy...

...
You, dancing on the wind
Riding an ocean wave
The fire burned through me
As you flew to higher ground
How I wish you would fall back down
Into my open arms
Bless me with your fallen angel’s charms

{Fallen angel}

And I wonder. . .
Do you remember my crooked smile?
And I wonder. . .
Do you remember the taste of my skin?
And I wonder. . .
Do your tears also fall?
And I wonder if you will call
In the early morning before the sun has rose

{Fallen angel}

Did you know you touched me so sudden, so sure
Cracked my faults and lava poured
Trembling in ecstacy
Shaken to the core of my being

{Fallen angel}

I’ve been wandering
Desolate in the barren desert of my mind
And I came upon your oasis
Or was it merely mirage?
One drop of you is never enough
Like a penny in the cup of the old man
shivering on the corner

Take me home to your garden
Drench me in aphrodisia
Shower me with kisses
Ravage me in torrential downpours
I am thirsty. . . I am thirsty. . . I am thirsty

{Fallen angel}

You are welcome, welcome anytime
For you there’s a fire that burns so bright
You’re welcome when the rain beats down the roof
I can feel you coming like the thundering hooves
of Pan the dancing man

You, dancing on the wind
Riding an ocean wave
The fire burned through me
As you flew to higher ground
How I wish you would fall back down
Into my open arms
Bless me with your fallen angel’s charms

{Fallen angel (x5)}

Analisa

This song portrays some of the torment and outcast-ness I experienced as a child. The ending... ...though the metaphor is death, the cliff is really representative of leaping fearlessly into the vastness of one's own being - of leaving behind all that holds one back, that makes one small.

...
My name is Analisa
It may have been my first, but it wasn’t my last
Let me tell you a story of my past.

Verse 1:
There was a little country girl, she liked to play alone
Flowers for companions and a stone would be her throne
She ran naked through the fields, laughing at the sun
Brushing just past nettles and a nest of honeycomb
But she never expected to be stung

Verse 2:
She never was afraid, used to sing for mama’s friends
Dancing for hours, making shadows with her hands
But on that judgement day, wildflowers on the wall
Who are all these children, and what are these names they call?
(Da da da, who do you call..., after the fall...)

Verse 3:
“Hey little hippi girl, why are you such a freak?
Isn’t it the funniest thing, those tears running down her cheeks”
They called her ugly, airhead, what could she believe?
Looking from a child’s eyes, how could she see
The freedom in her simplicity?
(Dididlidi...)

Verse 4
She tried to understand, she tried to make her peace
But the more she stood her ground, the more that they would tease
“Sit tight, just shut your mouth, ignore it yeah just fake it
If you can’t control your feelings then you’ll never ever make it”
(Da da down, just sit on down...)

Verse 5:
So she learned to play it cool, she tried to keep her pride
But she lost a part of her heart with all those tears she hid inside
She tried to fill the hole with things she didn’t need
Their superficial beauty taught her thievery and greed
(Da da deel, what did you steal, how do you feel...)

Verse 6:
Busted, broken down and angry
She started to question what really made her hungry
‘What did I come here for? Isn’t there something more?’
But now she couldn’t remember who she even was before
(Ba da bo, open the door, I gotta settle the score...)

Verse 7:
She was cold. . . oh so cold. . . and lonely,
Heavy. . . oh lord so heavy. . . and stiff
Yearning for salvation she danced. . .
. . . yeah she danced. . . yes she danced. . .
. . . right off a cliff

Spreading her wings to fly, for freedom she would strive
In the moment she died, she would finally be alive

I’m justified, I’m crucified, I’m terrified
I will not be denied!
I will testify till I’m satisfied and purified
I’m mystified!
I’m a firefly, I’m a butterfly, I’m a dragonfly
Hear an angel cry!

Sleepwalker

You've got to imagine this one sung with a bit of both melancholy and angst...

...
Verse 1:
Walkin’ down the street today, strangers look away
Temples of their bodies, a waste and decay
Where do you go to heal, where do you go to pray?
(Where in this world?)
When will I see a smile on your face
When will you recognize your beauty and grace
When will we live a life of thankfulness and praise
(Where in this world?)

Verse 2:
Looking round what do I see? World of illusion
Listening, what do I hear? World of confusion
Opening my heart to feel, world of seclusion
(Where in this world?)
When will we see rainbows appear?
When will we hear music of the spheres?
When will we feel a love sincere?
(Where in this world?)

Chorus:
And I may not be the holiest of angels
I may not be able to remove your blindfold
I may not be the one to save your soul
But I hold to that which is golden

Bridge:
Sleepwalker
Sleepwalker
Sleepwalker
Open your eyes
Open your mind
Peel off your disguise
We are all Magi

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Down by the riverside, I pray and I kneel
Water runs low through concrete and steel
Dwindling away as we spin our wheels
(Where in this world?)
When will we see rivers running wild
Lush, green and free for miles upon miles
I wait like the Sphinx on the banks of the Nile
(Where in this world?)

(Chorus)
