Saint Augustine
by moe


God is light
Light is good
God is good

There's a bag lady siften through trash in my neighborhood
Asked for a light, ya know I understood

God is light
Light is good
God is good

Where you gonna run when they come for you?

Have you heard about the infant born with a handgun
Shot his twin brother coming out now he's an only son
He's a good boy, wait and see
We'll rehabilitate him one-two-three

God is light
Light is good
God is good

Where you gonna run when they come for you?
They'll hear you playing your guitar

Hey Saint Augustine
There's a flaw you see
You've reasoned quite
Illogically

God is light
Light is good
God is good

Where you gonna run when they come for you?
They'll hear you playing your guitar

God is light
Light is good
God is good

Where you gonna run when they come for you?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?

Saint Francis
Steven Van Zandt

SAINT FRANCIS


The war stopped for a moment
We held our breaths my brothers and I
The poisoned sky'd stopped crying
The red sun tried to shine

We looked down from the mountain top
And felt so alone
This once was paradise
This wasteland once was home

Are you still alive inside baby
That's all I need to know
Without you my bloodlust
Would have blinded me long ago

I want to be your shelter
But there's no shelter left on Earth
I wish I could hide you
But hiding only makes it worse

Don't let your demons make you cry
They'll all be gone by morning
Don't let your spirits leave your side
Stay close to the Earth - so you don't get burned

Oh my sweet child how did you sleep last night
She said, "I dreamed I saw Saint Francis"
He came in the body of a lion and had tears in his eyes
And he said, "It don't have to be this way"

The masters of war keep marching
Their work is never done
The sacrifice continues
In the form of God's most innocent ones

The masters of religion
Better learn a new way to love
God never created anything
Anything He's not part of

Don't fear the light, don't shield your eyes it's only Holy fire
Don't be afraid to look inside it's only your desire
Don't deny your own desire

There's a bad storm coming
I believe it's coming our way
The air is thick and cloudy
The sky gets blacker everyday

The rebel children are waiting - Their time is coming soon
They face no future gamely - They've got nothing left to lose



I believe in the Faith... that can save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray...
That someday it may raise me... above these badlands

Saint of Circumstance
Grateful Dead
Lyrics: John Barlow
Music: Bob Weir

This must be heaven, tonight I cross the line.
You must be the angel, I though I might never find.
Was it you I heard singing, Oh while I was chasin' dreams.
Driven by the wind, like the dust that blows around,
And the rain fallin' down, but I never know.
Got to be heaven, cause here's where the rainbow ends.
If this ain't the real thing, then it's close enough to pretend.
When that wind blows, when the night's about to fall.
You can hear the silence call, it's a certain sort of sound,
Like the rain fallin' down.

Holes in what's left of my reason, holes in the knees of my blues.
Odds against me been increasin', but I'll pull through.
I never could read no road map, I don't know what the weather might do.
But when that rich wind whines and I see the dark star shine,
I got a feeling there's no time to lose, no time to lose.

Never know now, just don't never know, no.
Well it's been heaven, but even the rainbows will end.
Now my sails are fillin' and the wind is willin'.
And I'm as good as gone again.
I'm still walkin', so I'm sure that I can dance.
Just a Saint of Circumstance, just a tiger in a trance.
And the rain fallin' down, well, you never know, just don't know.
Listen, sure don't know what I going for, but I'm gonna go for it for sure...

I don't trust to nothin', but I know it comes out right."

ST. TERESA
Joan Osborne



She down on the corner, just a little crime.
When I make my money, got to get my dime.
She down with her baby, wind is full of trash.
She bold as a streetlight, dark and sweet as hash.

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon.
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon.

Reach down for the sweet stuff, way she looks at me.
I know any man sees you like I see.
Follow down the side street, move in single file.
She said, "That's where I'll hold you, sleepin' like a child."

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon.
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon.

Just what I been needin', feel it rise in me.
She said, "Every stone a story, like a rosary."
Corner St. Teresa, just a little crime.
When I make my money, got to get my dime.

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon.
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon.

You crawled up in the sky.
You crawled up in the clouds.
Is there something you forgot to tell me,
tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me?

Show me, my Teresa, feel it rise in me.
Every stone a story, like a rosary.





...You look like a perfect fit
for a grrl in need of a tourniquet
But can you save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks
of the freaks
who suspect
they could never love anyone...

Frank Black and the Catholics - Dog In The Sand - 2001

ST FRANCIS DAM DISASTER

There was a well known water master man
he was the king
he could do anything
the St. Francis dam disaster man
thought she was all right
until around midnight

because that water seeks her own
she had a desire to flow
she was looking for somewhere to go

she was a slave to the great metropolis
she was feeling choked
she pushed the wall 'till it broke
when they heard the great apocalypse
at power house number two
well, there was nothing they could do

because that water seeks her own
five and one half hours she would flow
she had fifty-three miles to go

a cascade down the Santa Clara way
near sixty feet high
now she's a mile wide
it was clear she was going far away
and whole towns were, too
a few got lucky in Piru

because that water seeks her own
but four more hours she would flow
she had twenty-nine miles mores to go

she carried in her every kind of thing
house, tree, telegraph pole
some say a thousand souls
at three am she gave Santa Paula a ring
she was still twenty-five feet high
under a peaceful sky

because that water seeks her own
but two more hours she would flow
she had nineteen miles more to go

it was a real bad night in little Saticoy
El Rio then Montalvo
how many no one really knows
Ventura Beach was very scary, boy
humanity a pile
she went her final mile

because that water seeks her own
into the sea the water flowed
and now for forever she would go

Saint of Circumstance!? that's the first "saint" Dead song you thought of?

St. Stephen

Saint Stephen with a rose, in and out of the garden he goes,
Country garden in the wind and the rain,
Wherever he goes the people all complain.

Stephen prospered in his time, well he may and he may decline.
Did it matter, does it now? Stephen would answer if he only knew how.
Wishing well with a golden bell, bucket hanging clear to hell,
Hell halfway twixt now and then,
Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again.

Lady finger, dipped in moonlight, writing "What for?" across the morning sky.
Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer, darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye.

Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow,
What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned.
Several seasons with their treasons,
Wrap the babe in scarlet colors, call it your own.
Did he doubt or did he try? Answers aplenty in the bye and bye,
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills,
One man gathers what another man spills.

Saint Stephen will remain, all he's lost he shall regain,
Seashore washed by the suds and foam,
Been here so long, he's got to calling it home.

Fortune comes a crawlin', calliope woman, spinnin' that curious sense of your own.
Can you answer? Yes I can. But what would be the answer to the answer man?

Saints and Sailors
by Dashboard Confessional

This is where I say I've had enough
and no one should ever feel the way that I feel now.
A walking open wound,
a trophy display of bruises
and I don't believe that I'm getting any better.


Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring
and I'm thinking awful things
and I'm pretty sure that few would notice.
And this apartment
is starving for an argument.
Anything at all to break the silence.


Wandering the house
like I've never wanted out
and this is about as social as I get now.
And I'm throwing away the letters that I am writing you
'cause they would never do,
I would never do.


So don't be a liar,
don't say that "everything's working"
when everything's broken.
And you smile like a saint
but you curse like a sailor
and your eyes say the joke's on me.
