Tongues of Angels
By Little Steven (Steven Van Zandt)

Smoke curled from the embers of the fire
With respect for the dawn the beach was quiet
God tried to smile
It's a good day to live or die

I live where the Earth meets the sky
In the violence of the hurricane I ride the eye
I live inside
I travel in dreamtime

Look what you've done to the blood of the Earth
Look how you've changed the balance
Look at the desecration of my church
You're morally bankrupt and blind
While your children pay for your crimes

I'm gonna ride the tongues of angels all the way to heaven

I've done my penance in Babylon among the tribes
I organized
We stood side by side fighting the righteous fight
Hard fought victories won in vain
The new leaders learn from the old ones and do the same
They've lost The Way
That's why nothing changes

I see without looking
I feel without touching
I know without thinking
When I feel confused and lost
I come back to the source

I'm gonna ride the tongues of angels all the way to heaven

Smoke curled from the embers of the fire
Proud soldiers once unified
Fighting for the scraps of power
In the city's final desperate hour

I live where the wind meets the sand
Waiting for the holocaust where life began
If I'm called I will return
But I'm not gonna watch it burn

I find without searching
I hear without listening
I know without thinking
After there's no tears left to cry
I will choose the way I die

I'm gonna ride the tongues of angels all the way to heaven





Is my train in vain, has my soul gone to waste
Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith
The Painter
1/2 a bottle of Jack Daniels... it's a cure-all

How Come You Treat Me So Bad
Steven Van Zandt (Blue Midnight Music)

Listen here baby to what I say
I break my back by working hard all day
And just when I need a little sympathy, you ain't home

You know now baby that I don't ask much
Just a little respect and a lovin' touch
If I support two people then why am I living alone

How come you treat me so bad
You're the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad
Tell me 'cause I've got to know

All the women stop and they give me the eye
But the woman I love don't even wonder why
I ain't good lookin', but I don't mind spending my money

Another man might dress better uptown
But he's more than likely to be messing around
Well I ain't laughing, but something sure seems funny

How come you treat me so bad
You're the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad
Tell me 'cause I've got to know

I ask for chicken and you give me beans
I ask for butter and you give me margarine
I ask you for the time and you tell me I am already too
late

Someday girl you might change your mind
You realize what you left behind
I got news for you baby, I just might not wait, no more

How come you treat me so bad
You're the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad
I am tired of being lonely and feeling so sad
How come you treat me so bad
You're the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad
Tell me 'cause I've got to know
