Black star, whenever you're ready
You're much too far away!
By now, your soul seems steady, now crawl to the cross

Meanwhile, time takes a turn
I'm feeling damned when you make it burn
Let's testify you're born to die
You speak the truth and so do I
Don't give it away [Repeat: 2X]
Don't try to nail [Repeat: 3x]

[Chorus]
Black star whenever you're ready
You're much too far away!
By now, your soul seems steady, now crawl to the cross
Black star deceiver kills it all
The sun lies waiting for a call

You seem to be a fatal one
Come watch me preach under the gun
I'm down and out, so down and out!

Black star whenever you're ready
you're much too far away!
By now, your soul seem steady, now crawl to the cross

[Chorus]
Black star deceiver kills it all
The sun lies waiting for a call [Repeat]

Take me away, I'm in distress
Oh grand deceiver, put me to rest
I was never in pain, sick or insane
So hear me now, you're the one that I blame!

Meanwhile time takes a turn
I'm feeling damned when you make it burn
Let's testify, you're born to die
You speak the truth and so do I
Don't give it away
Don't try to nail!

[Chorus]

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
