You asked for it, you got it! Here're the lyrics from the reord, Songs From the City on the Sun, in the same order as the tracks on the album:
When You Walk Around This City
When you walk around this city
You see bubbles above peoples’ heads
It’s their dreams, what they hope for
What they left that morning in bed
When you walk around this city
You see everything that people around you feel
You’re just like an angel walking
You listen you hear but you do not reveal:
With your eyes ablaze
It’s never enough
You can never get enough
When you walk around this city
The cars they’ll try to run you down; but you’ll stand your ground
Imperial machines think they own the place and they’re the one that’s driving
But did a machine ever make such a beautiful sound?
When you walk around this ever loving city
strangers whisper in your ear
They’ve got so many things to tell an angel
You lean in close and you listen then you disappear
If we could tell each other everything
Everyone said everything
You wouldn’t be able to hear a thing
When you walk around this city
It’s just like an ocean but you have no fear
When you float around the city
No one can see you but they can feel that you’re near
When you tilt your head to look at the sky above streets of the city
Suddenly you know there’s no need to stay here
You start to float above streets of the city
There won’t be a sound as you disappear
Handy
I’ve
Always been
What you might call
Handy
Candy
That’s what you are
You burn
Turn
Turn around
Without a sound
You’d do anything
To feed your world babe
To make it swing
Disco balls
And cocaine smiles
Oh babe it’s gonna take a while
When you see me comin you better get the fuck out the way
Cause my lips they drip a poison enough to kill your faith
I
I got the basics down
All I need is a chance
So burn
Burn me down
I’m lost and I am found
Turn
Turn around
Without a sound
Steam trains
And motor planes
They all gonna do
Just one thing
Hellfire below
And the lord above
Teach different lessons about love
When you see me comin you better get the fuck out the way
‘Cause my lips they drip a poison enough to kill your faith
Too Damn Crazy
Don’t you get too damn crazy baby
Don’t you take it too far
The women and children and everyone else
They watch you fight, you fight yourself
When you tumble and you trip and you fall
I’ll be there I’ll be watching it all
When you trip it won’t be long
Because you didn’t listen to the words in this song
I’m gonna see that look on your face
Just a short fall is a fall from grace
I seen what can happen with the likes of you
You’ll skid off the road
Just what do you expect the rest of us to do?
Just sit back while you explode?
I know that you want to beat em all up
But you gotta try to talk to talk to them first
I know that you believe in the law of the sea
I know you’ve got this endless thirst
I know you think it’s under control – it’s all taken care of
Don’t you get too damn crazy
If you live a life without fear
So many things you cannot hear
You live like a desert
Deep under the sea
Don’t you get too damn crazy
Don’t you try to breathe underwater
Ask the air in the sky
To try is to die
This is that tough love
This is that tough love
It’s taken a long time
To realize that nothing rhymes
It’s taken a lifetime
I realize that I don’t know the lines
That’s why I’m asking you to slow down
That’s why I’m asking you to slow down
Danger
Dangerous times
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lives
In danger
Dangerous rhymes
Cut you in time
And we wait in line
For danger
You know we're right
And we know you'll fight
To keep all you've stolen
From danger
You’re a slaveholdin' man
We can tell just by lookin at your face
I’ve seen the light
Fight the good fight
I’ll taste your blood sooner
Or later
You tried to put us to sleep
But we learned to speak
We’re smarter, we're faster
We’re braver
It happened so fast
You won at last
Now we can't get past
This danger
We know you
Know no one
We know you
Know no body
Because it's danger
Dangerous times
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lives
In danger
Dangerous rhymes
Cut you in time
And we wait in line
For danger
You know we're right
And we know you'll fight
To keep all you've stolen
From danger
Stroll the Sun
let's go for a stroll on the sun
we can float around and have some fun
let's go for a walk around the stars
swimming in the canals of mars
there are friendly people on the sun
smiling and laughing every one
when we're out here in space
all fear washes away
everything is just okay
it's bigger than you can ever tell
brighter than the light at the bottom of the well
so let's go for a stroll on the sun
melt into light and be one
let's you and me get lost in space
i can see the bright light of your face
always wanted to try
something like kissing the sky
so let's go stroll on the sun
and jump into the ocean when we're done
let's go stroll on the sun
done with all this work lets have some fun
I Can't Remember
I can’t remember
Just what you done
I turned around and then I knew
That you were the one
I can’t remember
Just what you done
You turned me on that’s what you do
You’re just like the sun
I was born naked
I’ll admit that I cried
I learned to see and then I knew
This was for life
I was born dreaming
About what you done
I left a dream so I could tell you
That you were the one
I can never remember
Words and songs
All I remember is just one
Minute of your love
I can’t tell the difference
Between colors and sounds
I can’t tell the difference between
Lost and found
Sometimes I can’t tell
if I’m dying or just doin’ fine
Sometimes you pull me from a dream
Sometimes I pull you into mine
Take Me Home
you can take me home
it won't do no harm
won't try to call you my own
just keep you warm
and it don't matter
what kinda life you're livin
cuz lady i
can take what you're givin
you can take me home
in the jewel of the night
and i've never known
what is wrong from what's right
i've just grown
from an old man to a boy
i've been blown
round this world like a little toy
the wind has blown
the seas for years and years
i've never known
the colors of your fears
but your eyes shown
with the bright light of tears
and my eyes roam
anywhere but here
you can take me home
won't try to call you my own
you can take me home
in the jewel of the night
Seven Children
this is a tale of seven children
all were lost
their mother was the son
father was the cross
born over a thousand years
each was the king of an age
just like all children
every god has his day
keep it keep it on
every one is the one
every mother's son
one fell from earth--and as he fell
another was reborn
the littlest one on fire with genius
the middle was lost in a storm
the second god was a golden god
another was everywhere
all good children can go to hell
this last one was prepared
17 Irises

Seventeen iris today
And if you should ever want for something

Seventeen irises smiling
Seventeen for today
7 steps to power
and10 to life
13 to the night
and 17 to what is right
When the message gets through
We all gonna make do
When the message hits loud and clear
We gonna wash off all our fears
there’s a number of things to say
seventeen iris today
no matter what you do
nothing gets in your way
no matter what you see
nothing could make me stay
17 irises for you
17 for today
The Real World Don't Matter
the idea is
that the real world don't matter
we're just kids
nothing that we're after
it's taken this long
to know
hey you
take it slow
cuz you never know
just which way i'm gonna go
formulas fall to your feet
you’re tapping your toes but you still can’t feel the beat
you are an aristocrat of defeat
the hills ring with deceit
before we make love cut a hole in the sheet
you’ve got fine taste and fine clothes
such a fine face they’d never know
the line was safe till we hit green for go
now you get a taste of just what’s in store
it’s happening all over again
you made it happen again
take your mouth
and your words too
lock them up
and bury them till
you can’t hear what they say
Picture a light
It’s breaking through
The top of your head
It’s all you can do
To keep your feet on the ground
Look at that real world and it’s like this: a big kid falls
He begins to ball
Blood and tears
And screams and all
Where you where you gonna go?
the idea is
that the real world don't matter
we're just kids
nothing that we're after
I'd Trade my Dreams for You
Suck in tight
Breathe in light
i am forgone
never been alone
fit like a glove
you and me
we got the same blood
running through our veins
you of the ebony hair
it was more than i could bear
and i see your eyes when i close mine
really want to believe in signs
listen to the rumble
nowhere we can hide
it's too bad about this city
but you know everyone must die
Tell me how you feel child
there's no reason to hide
cuz i baby i
love you like a brother
that's just a part
of being your lover
when we went swimming in the ocean
you sang to me in sounds and motion
when i learned to fly that day
and i wouldn't come down
you didn't try to stop me
you were waving from the ground
i'd trade my dreams for you
i'd trade my dreams for you
Uncharted Waters
Well these are uncharted waters
I hope you know how to swim
They said go north by northeast
I said head straight with the wind
When you find yourself lost
Way out at sea
Always ask for directions
But don’t you ask me
Well there’s sharks down there
And a school of giant squid
By the way they’re looking at us
You can tell that they ain’t been fed
We’re a long way from nowhere
And the sun it’s begun to talk to me
Said son you done enough in this lifetime
Now come on and follow me
When I said that I’d take you out sailing
I bet you never expected this
thought I’d take you out for a long cool evening
maybe end it with a kiss
but I had to take it further
cuz that’s always how I do
so we sailed past the farallon islands
and past the oil rigs too
you looked so beautiful to me
with the wind in your hair
if only I had known
to stop right there
we sailed past the pyramids
they were closed for the day
so I said babe I know a place
it’s just a little bit out of the way
what a first date this was
now we’re lost at sea
baby when I said I’d go to the end of the earth for you
I forgot to mention that you’d have to come with me
Now that we’re lost for good
We might as well get to know each other
What were you like as a child?
Tell me about your father and your mother.
Now time has no meaning
We’re at the edge of the world
We can see our reflections in the water
It’s just you and me girl
