Arabian wind, The needle's eye is thin, The ships of state sail on mirage, And drown in sand, Out in no-man's land where Allah does command.
What good is spilling blood? It will not grow a thing; Taste eternity the swords sing: Blues of Allah In 'sh'Allah.
They lie where they fall, There's nothing more to say, The desert stars are bright tonight lets meet as friends, The Flower of Islam, The Fruit of Abraham.
The thousand stories have come round to one again, Arabian night, Our Gods pursue their fight, What fatal flowers of darkness spring from seeds of light.
Bird of paradise fly in white sky, Blues for Allah In 'sh'Allah, Let's see with our heart, These things our eyes have seen, And know the truth must still lie somewhere in between.
Under eternity, under eternity, under eternity blue, Bird of paradise fly in white sky, Blues for Allah In 'sh'Allah.
Blues for Allah---check the version from "One from the Vault" amazing stuff!!

Julie catch a rabbit by his tail Come back steppin' like to walk on air Get back home where you belong And don't you run off no more.
Don't hang your head, let the two time roll Grass shack nailed to a pine wood floor Ask the time baby I don't know Come back later, gonna let it show.
I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know, Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.
Here's a half dollar if you dare Double twist when you hit the air, Look at Julie down below, The levee doin' the do-pas-o.
I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.
Broken heart don't feel so bad, You ain't got half of what you thought you had. Rock you baby to and fro Not too fast and not too slow.
I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there, I don't know, Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.
That's the way it's been in town, Ever since they tore the jukebox down. Two bit piece don't buy no more, Not so much as it done before.
I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there I don't know Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.
-------------------- Big Gulps! Alright! Well, See ya later! And if i claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that i dont know!

Pride of Cucamonga is a great one! Out on the edge of the empty highway Howling at the blood on the moon Big diesel Mack rolling down my way Can't hit that border too soon
Running hard out of Muskrat Flats It was sixty days or double life Hail at my back like a shotgun blast High wind chimes in the night
Oh, oh, pride of Cucamonga Oh, oh, bitter olives in the sun Oh, oh, I had me some loving And I done some time
Since I came down from Oregon There's a lesson or two I've learned By standing in the road alone Standing watching the fires burn
The northern sky it stinks with greed You can smell it for miles around Good old boys in the Greystone Hotel Sitting doing that git-on-down
Oh, oh, pride of Cucamonga Oh, oh, silver apples in the sun Oh, oh, I had me some loving And I done some time
I see your silver shining town But I know I can't go there Your streets run deep with poisoned wine Your doorways crawl with fear
So I think I'll drift for old where it's at Where the weed grows green and fine And wrap myself around a bush Of that bright whoa, oh, Oaxaca vine
Yes it's me, I'm the pride of Cucamonga I can see golden forests in the sun Oh, oh, I had me some loving And I done some time And I done some time And I done some time
-------------------- Big Gulps! Alright! Well, See ya later! And if i claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that i dont know!

Walk into splintered sunlight Inch your way through dead dreams to another land Maybe you're tired and broken Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear
There are way too many to pick a favorite though. Ripple, Eyes, Other one, UJB, etc.

And then a man rode into town, some thought he was the law. Billy Jean was waitin' when he came. She told me he would take her, if I didn't use my gun, I'd have no one but myself to blame.
I went down to those dusty streets, blood was on my mind. I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news Cause I shot first and killed him, Lord, he didn't even draw And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali Blues.
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose When he lets a woman hold him in her hands? He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark Just ridin' and runnin' across those desert sands.

This IS truly relevant!
All the years combine, they melt into a dream, A broken angel sings from a guitar. In the end there's just a song comes cryin up the night Thru all the broken dreams and vanished years. Stella blue.
-------------------- Don't have to tell you it feels better than, Floating free, walk upon the sand Got to give you things much better My mushroom's green and brown forever.

I am a simpleton for sure:
"It takes all you got just to stay on the beat"
-fire on the mountain-
I love GD, but that song always sings me back home. but in my defense there is a very good reason involving an amazing weeping willow and agreat friend. it sealed the deal.

The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded, Solemnly they stated, "He has to die, you know he has to die." All the children learnin', from books that they were burnin', Every leaf was turnin' ; to watch him die, you know he had to die.
The summer sun looked down on him, his mother could but frown on him, And all the others sound on him, but it doesn't seem to matter.
And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended, His mind remained unbended, he had to die, you know he had to die.
Spanish lady comes to me, she lays on me this rose. It rainbow spirals round and round it trembles and explodes. It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away. But the heat came 'round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day.
