	#		Songs
1	1	God's Monkey (Damage) One push You fall in Born in darkness Built on shame And hurting Filled with silence Filled with silence And stars Stars Stars Find the ladder Climb the ladder To God's monkey No songs To sing That I believe in That I believe in Can't breathe the air It's too thin This far from heaven This far from heaven And stars Stars Find the ladder Climb the ladder To God's monkey.	God's Monkey (Damage)	God's Monkey (Damage) Performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	2	Brightness Falls (Damage) Baby, baby I hate to go Don't leave me alone with this sorrow The body's heavy The getting's slow Lost in moments Caught in moments The night is starless And stands below And I need you by my side Baby, baby I love you so Don't leave me alone in this hollow When brightness falls Who'll come running? When brightness falls Who'll come running in? Saved by silence Save by noise Save by lightning Saved by joy Building on emptiness And all you broken hearted people Baby, Baby The hurt heals slow And who can believe in tomorrow? When brightness falls Who'll come running? When brightness falls Who'll come running in? The ticket's exploded Only one way out Live in lightness Lost in lightness There's nothing left to write about And time's no longer The greatest injustice of all On this new day.	Brightness Falls (Damage)	Brightness Falls (Damage) Official remastered live track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	3	Every Colour You Are (Damage) I touched his hand Burned like coal Put pay to the devil And saw the mountain fall Feel like crying The jokes gone to far You can be anything you want Every colour you are Family man His patience tried Put a torch to his home And warmed his hands by the fire The greed of desire My roads uncrossed White lined and tarred By believing in you Every colour you are	Every Colour You Are (Damage)	Every Colour You Are (Damage) Official remastered version of track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	4	Jean the Birdman (Damage) He gambles on the saddle He's pulling on the mane He thrashes on the horse's back Ambition is a bloody game Horse doesn't want to jump The river looks too wide Well he faces every hurdle With a nervous state of mind "Stay with me, breathe deeply take three passes back turn and make a full attack" The gods are laughing And they're tugging at the reins But he's taken to his wings And they hit the bank Heaven may stone him But Jean the birdman pulls it off His finger's on the trigger His eye is on the clock He doesn't give the game away And quickly fires the bullets off Six hearts cut short Still dreaming they're alive Blown 'round in dusty circles Like an absent state of mind Who hunter? Who victim? God love America He surely doesn't love him Hitching out of nowhere Lines of traffic knee deep A chance to stave the morning off And get some sleep Heaven may stone him But Jean the birdman pulls it off He wears a crucifix His mother left to him It's wrapped in chains around his heart Rusted and wafer thin "Don't count on luck son" All the angels sing "Don't need to check a weathervane We all know what tomorrow brings" Life is a cattle farm Coyotes with the mules Life is a bullring For taking risks and flouting rules Who needs a safety net The world is open wide Just look out for card sharks And the danger signs Heaven may stone him But Jean the birdman pulls it off	Jean the Birdman (Damage)	Jean the Birdman (Damage) Official remastered track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	5	Firepower (Damage) He beats the door and breaks his watch Raids the fridge and eats the lot No room for silence, pause of thought To ease the hurt inside him They placed a barrel at his head Raging blind and rising Cursed by saints and all the rest He can't stand up for trying Shot through with anger and desire A mouth to feed, a room for hire He drinks 'goodbyes', the bottle dry Brutalised but smiling Causing casualties by the hour Outweighed by stars And Firepower Causing casualties by the hour Waylayed by stars And Firepower He beats the door and breaks the lock Afraid to sleep he won't let up No room for silence, pause or thought To ease the hurt inside him	Firepower (Damage)	Firepower (Damage) Official remastered track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	6	Damage (Damage) I found the way By the sound of your voice So many things to say But these are only words Now I've only words Once there was a choice And I want to love Did I give you much? Well you gave me things You gave me stars to hold Songs to sing I only want to be loved And I hurt and I hurt And the damage is done You gave me songs to sing Shadow and sun Why didn't I stay? Why couldn't I? So many lives to cross Well I just had to leave There goes everything Everything Can I meet you there? God knows the place And I'll touch your hand Kiss your face We only want to be loved We only want to be loved And I want to be love And I hurt and I hurt And the damage is done You gave me songs to sing Shadow and sun Earthbound, starblind Tied to someone	Damage (Damage)	Damage (Damage) Official remastered track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	7	Gone To Earth (Damage) With a burning candle A book of holy things They'll throw you up against the wall Bind your hands with string Caught in the sudden shower Our host of heavenly Kings They're all victims of circumstance Of ancient bells that bring All the fear in the world, naked and shy Down upon our heads, with no reason why And though voices may holler For all they're worth The rabbits have fled their burrows Gone to earth	Gone To Earth (Damage)	Gone To Earth (Damage) Official remastered track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	8	20th Century Dreaming (Damage) Cold morning Start of another day Sleeping through the epilogue Waking to the sound of rain Driven to the crossroads Where value's meaningless What did you do to my faith In justice, hope and happiness Social, economical, spiritual I'm moving to the house of love Take my fire Take my food and water Forget about those promises Of social good and social order Lassoed by the cowboys Tied down and it shows Well I'm roping in those bad dreams And selling off my work clothes Social, economical, spiritual I'm moving to the house of love Gonna take a course of action To restore my sight 'til the heart of motivation Is filled with a golden light They're hiding in the treetops Tugging at my coat But the power lines are falling down And burning in the undergrowth Social, economical, spiritual I'm moving to the house of love As the river runs Tumbles and turns You know you shouldn't stay Or play the game again But it could be different this time You may win Dreaming, dreaming Dreaming, dreaming lying down Dreaming,dreaming Dreaming, dreaming lying down I'm moving to the house of love Here comes the dreaming	20th Century Dreaming (Damage)	20th Century Dreaming (Damage) Official remastered track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	9	Wave (Damage) It seems that I remember I dreamed a thousand dreams We'd face the days together No matter what they'd bring A strength inside like I'd never known Opened the door to life and let it go This sun may shine forever Upon the back of love A kingdom raised from ashes And held within your arms And should the rain break through the trees We'll find a shelter there and never leave I'll run to you, nothing stands between us now Nothing I can lose This light inside can never die Another world just made for two I'll swim the seas inside with you And like the waves, without a sound I'll never let you down Upon a wave of summer A hilltop paved with gold We shut our eyes and made The promises we hold A will to guide and see us through I'd do it all again because of you I'd tear my very soul to make you mine	Wave (Damage)	Wave (Damage) Official remastered track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	10	Riverman (Damage) I see your eyes light up like fire It's medicine to me But as the hunted live their lives You're keeping out of reach So I keep running, falling Till I reach the water Run with me holyman But when I reach out I find I'm standing right beside her Now we're living Blessed with all the thunder in the world Now, should you ask me to come home To wake up from the sleep Like a boat inside a storm Is there no hope for me? So I keep running, falling Wade into the water Run with me riverman But when I reach out I find I'm standing right beside her Now we're living Blessed with all the thunder in the world	Riverman (Damage)	Riverman (Damage) Official remastered track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	11	Blinding Light Of Heaven (Darshan) I count the tables, she counts the trees I tell stories, she speaks of everything she sees I'm in the shade, she's in the blinding light of heaven A fire raised by paper boats But now she stands before me opening the buttons of her coat I find myself wrapped in open arms of heaven She's giving me everything she owns Electricity I hear his work, these idle hands I turn my back, while she's done everything she can I've lied awake eaten by the poverty of anger She's giving me directions home I don't see a thing Except this gentle glow of haloes He told me of the grace I lack He clipped my wings but now my strength is coming back I lay my case before the open heart of heaven She's giving me everything she owns I don't see a thing Except this gentle glow of haloes	Blinding Light Of Heaven (Darshan)	Blinding Light Of Heaven (Darshan) Official remastered track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
1	12	The First Day (Darshan) Bring out the stars And fade to silence Let the heart decide and watch it grow Ring out the bells Trading in blindness Fooled by kisses Touched by wings Shadow-fall And water fills the room Bathed in moon grey blue Baby came and spoke her name With promises to call again Swimming gold in a blackened sea She troubles me She troubles me Counting the ways To fall without landing Stumbling into flight Descent and slide Compressing sound From coal to diamond Words are knotted tight To chords that bind Shadow-fall And water fills the room Bathed in moon grey blue Baby came and spoke her name With promises to call again Swimming gold in a shipwrecked sea She troubles me She troubles me Received by the eye, believed by the word Be seen to make haste, when the soundings are heard Don't discourage me Whittling down the wood with the stone If the boundary breaks I'm no longer alone Don't discourage me Bring out the stars On the first day The first day The first day	The First Day (Darshan)	The First Day (Darshan) Official remastered track as performed live in 1993 during the Road To Graceland Tour.
