1.Rock N Roll Nigger
作詞:Leonard J Kaye, Patti Smith
Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
Baby got big and baby, get bigger
Baby, get something, baby, get more
Baby, baby, baby was a rock n roll nigger
Oh, look around you, all around you
Ridin' on a copper wave
Do you like the world around you?
Are you ready to behave?
Outside of society they're waitin' for me
Outside of society, that's where I want to be
Lenny
Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
You know she got big, well, she's gonna get bigger
Baby, got a hand, got a finger on the trigger
Baby, baby, baby is a rock n roll nigger
Outside of society, that's where I want to be
Outside of society they're waitin' for me
Those who have suffered, understand suffering
And thereby extend their hand
The storm that brings harm also makes fertile
Blessed is the grass and herb and the true thorn and light
I was lost in a valley of pleasure
I was lost in the infinite sea
I was lost and measure for measure
Love spewed from the heart of me
I was lost and the cost
And the cost didn't matter to me
I was lost and the cost
Was to be outside society
Jimi Hendrix was a nigger
Jesus Christ and grandma, too
Jackson Pollock was a nigger
Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger
Nigger, nigger, nigger
Outside of society they're waitin' for me
Outside of society, if you're looking
That's where you'll find me
Outside of society they're waitin' for me
Outside of society
Outside of society
Outside of society

2.Hymn
作詞:Jay Dee Daugherty, Leonard J Kaye, Ivan Kral, Patricia Smith,
Richard Sohl
When I am troubled in the night
He comes to comfort me
He wills me through the darkness
And the empty child is free
To take his hand his sacred heart
The heart that breaks the dawn, Amen
And when I think I've had my fill
He fills me up again
3.Space Monkey
作詞:Ivan Kral, Patricia Smith, Tom Verlaine
Blood on the T.V., ten o' clock news
Souls are invaded, heart in a groove
Beatin' and beatin' so outta time
What's the mad matter with the church chimes?
Here comes a stranger up on Ninth Avenue
Leanin' green tower, indiscreet view
Over the cloud, over the bridge
Sensitive muscle, sensitive ridge of my
Space monkey, sign of the time, time
Space monkey, so outta line, line
Space monkey, sort of divine
Yeah, and he's mine, mine, all mine
Pierre Clementi, snot full o' cocaine
The sexual streets, why it's all so insane?
Humans are running, lavender room
Hoverin' liquid, move over moon for my
Space monkey, sign of the time, time
Space monkey, sort of divine, vine
Space monkey, so out of line
And he's mine, mine, oh, he's mine
A stranger comes up to him
Hands him an old, rusty Polaroid
It starts crumbling in his hands
He says, 'Oh man, I don't get the picture'
'This is no picture, this is just
This just a, this just a
This is my jack knife, this is my jack knife
This is my jack knife, this is my jack'
Rude excavation, landin' site
Boy hesitatin', jack knife
He rips his leg open, so out of time
Blood and light runnin', it's all like a dream
Light of my life, he's dressed in flame
It's all so predestined, it's all such a game for my
Space monkey, sign of the time, time
Space monkey, sort of divine, vine
Space monkey, so out of line
And it's all just space, just space
There he is up in a tree
Oh, I hear him callin' down to me
That banana shaped object, ain't no banana
It's a bright, yellow U.F.O.
And he's coming to get me, here I go
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Oh, goodbye mama I'll never do dishes again
Here I go from my body, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, help
4.Babelogue
作詞:Patti Smith
I haven't fucked much with the past
But I've fucked plenty with the future
Over the skin of silk are scars from the splinters
Of stations and walls I've caressed
A stage is like each bolt of wood like a
Like a log of Helen, is my pleasure
I would measure the success of a night
By the way by the way by the amount of piss
And seed I could exude over the columns that nestled the P.A.
Some nights I'd surprise everybody by skipping off
With a skirt of green net sewed over
With flat metallic circles which dazzled and flashed
The lights were violet and white, I had an ornamental veil
But I couldn't bear to use it, when my hair was cropped
I craved covering but now that my hair itself is a veil
And the scalp inside is a scalp of a crazy and sleepy
Comanche lies beneath this netting of the skin
I wake up, I am lying peacefully, I am lying peacefully
And my knees are open to the sun
I desire him, and he is absolutely ready to seize me
In, in heart I am a Moslem, in heart I am an American
In heart I am Moslem, in heart I'm an American artist
And I have no guilt
I seek pleasure, I seek the nerves under your skin
The narrow archway, the layers, the scroll of ancient lettuce
We worship the flaw, the belly, the belly
The mole on the belly of an exquisite whore
He spared the child and spoiled the rod
I have not sold myself to God
5.Ghost Dance
作詞:Jay Dee Daugherty, Leonard J Kaye, Ivan Kral, Patti Smith
We shall live again, we shall live
What is it children that falls from the sky?
Tayi, taya, tayi, aye, aye
Mannah from Heaven from the most high
Food from the father, tayi, taye, aye
We shall live again, we shall live
(Again)
We shall live again, we shall live
(Shake out the ghost dance)
Peace to your brother, give and take peace
Tayi, taya, it leaves two feet
One foot extended, snake to the ground
Wave up the Earth, one turn around
We shall live again, we shall live
(Again)
We shall live again, we shall live
(Shake out the ghost dance)
Stretch out your arms now tip and swing
Rude up thy bird, tayi, tayi
Threw out your shoe over the soil
Dust off the words that shaped from the tale
We shall live again, we shall live
(Again)
We shall live again, we shall live again
(Shake out the ghost dance)
Here we are, Father, Lord, Holy Ghost
Bread of your bread, ghost of your host
We are the tears that fall from your eyes
Word of your word, the cry of your cry
We shall live again, we shall live
(Again)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, in your eye)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is this wisdom? Eyes of God)
We shall live again, we shall live
(That makes me feel just what I need)
We shall live again, we shall live
(You used to fly me the way to speed)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, holy that night?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, that moves to the right?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, that is waiting in Heaven?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, that shapes from your hand?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, that makes me spin around?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, that brings me down?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, you can't tell what I like?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, I just ride into space?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, I can tell you one night?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, I can tell what I like?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, are you into shape?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, are you calling today?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, what is it, Father?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, what is it, Father?)
We shall live again, we shall live
(What is it, Father, what is it, Father?)
