Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
And they come
And they come

See them prancing
They come neighing, they come
A horse nation

See them prancing
Neighing they came
See them prancing
Proudly they will come again

The whole world is coming
From the four directions
Scream and shout

See them prancing
They come neighing, they come
A horse nation

See them prancing
Neighing they came
See them prancing
Proudly they will come again

The whole world is coming
From the four directions
Scream and shout

They come neighing
A horse nation
Neighing they came

See them prancing

Neighing they came

See them prancing
Proudly they will come again

From the four directions
Why don't you scream and shout?

03. 83rd Dream

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
Four crows nailed to a wooden post
Bleed upon a barren field
An old way that I don't understand
It kinda touched me for a day

Four crows nailed to a wooden post
Bleed upon a barren field
An old way that I don't understand
You know, it kinda touched me for a day

There are no bright skies
Where the eagle flies
Suddenly inside me, inside me
I don't need

I am alive
I am alive
Hey, hey

So psychedelic, driving over the sun
Past the still sky trees and fields
To the place the great relics have kissed you know
It kinda touched me for a day

There are no bright skies
Where the eagle flies
Suddenly inside me, inside me
I don't need

I am alive
I am alive

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
...

04. Butterflies

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
The wild wide eye with her painted wing
She crushed the gray boy
Don't you know my selfishness was my suicide
Her painted wing became my suicide, suicide

The whole world did not start to cry
They just got inside me
And now they walk behind me
They walk behind me

They walk behind me, oh Lord
Like little dogs
Like stony dogs, you know
Stony dogs, stony dogs

They walk behind me, oh Lord
They walk, behind me
Behind me, oh Lord

06. Gimmick

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
There's a whisper in the wires, no love
Of a black train-a-comin', no love
From the heart of the desert, no love
And the rhythm's not my hometown

My eyes are open, no love
Watching for the train, no love, no love
Just a breath across the ocean
Feel no love, if it flies it dies

Flags into a pocket, no love
We're standing on a platform, feel no love
In everyone a hook line, no love, no love
Against me making time, feel no love

Whisper in the wires, no love
Of a black train-a-comin', no love, no love
From the heart of the desert, no love
And the rhythm's not my hometown

And the rhythm's not my hometown
I feel no love
And the rhythm's not my hometown

07. A Flower In The Desert

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Astbury/Jepson/Burroughs/Quereshi
Wait a minute, my friend
Don't pass me up for dead
As babylon crumbles to sand
A sweet flower blossoms in my hand
Another day is ending for you
Another day

While I'm alive, you see my rivers flowing
Don't wanna be like you
There are no wild beasts in here, I know
There are no wild beasts in here, we know

And a voice of the people cries
As it drones on in monotone
Here is the news, it's all so sad, sad
Ooh, and those black and whites
But thy knew it
Took a few and those panties in acquainted ways
Come on
Come on
Come on away, yeah

Wait a minute, my friend
Don't pass me up for dead
As babylon crumbles to sand
A sweet flower blossoms in my hand
Another day is ending for you
Another day, another day

I'm alive
You see my body burning
Burning up in here
There are no others in here, I know
There are no others in here, oh no
Burning up in here
You know, you know

Step a little closer
I wonder if you can
Remember me in this way

08. Dreamtime

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
Dreamtime, dreamtime
Dreamtime, dreamtime
Dreamtime, dreamtime
Oh the dream, dreamtime

I will have my dreamtime
My dreamtime, my dreamtime
The only thing untouched that's mine
I will have my dreamtime

Dreamtime, dreamtime
Dreamtime, dreamtime
Dreamtime, dreamtime
Oh the dream, dreamtime

I will wear my hair long
My hair long, my hair long
An extension of my heart
I will wear my hair long

Dream

Dreamtime, dreamtime
Dreamtime, dreamtime
Oh the dream, dreamtime

09. Rider In The Snow

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
Reaching for a reason, a rider in the snow
Has not far to go, has not far to go

Bomb unite the land, I call deep inside
Where no barriers hide, there's no mistake
The time of change

Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow
Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow
Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow

Meanwhile back in town, behind a paper frown
There's no mistake, the time of change

The stars sigh as they look down
His horse is broken now, on his knees
Gray hair tumbled down, his gray hair tumbled down

Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow
Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow
Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow
Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow

Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow
Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow
Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow
Blow my body, blow, the four winds in the snow

10. Bad Medicine Walz

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
It's funny how people stare
When your back's against the wall
It's funny how people stare
When your back's against the wall

I reach out my hand, I reach out my hand
For that bad medicine

The crowds are full of heroes, propping up the mark
With their empty goals, it's starting
And it's raining and the porno burns my eyes
Wipe away the tear with the skin from my hide

Don't you give into that bad medicine
Keep on smiling

It's funny how people stare
When your back's against the wall
Oh, it's funny how people stare
When your back's against the wall

I've heard about this new world you're building
But will there be room for me? It's starting
And it's raining and the porno burns my eyes
Wipe away the tear with the skin from my hide

Reach out for that bad medicine
Ooh, feel your skin burn, feel your soul turn
Don't you give into, don't you give into
That bad medicine, bad medicine

Smile, it may take a while
But it's better than being nailed to the floor
Spit in their face if they stare while you're down

Don't reach out for that bad medicine
Don't reach out for that bad medicine

Try smiling or smile or smile, bad medicine get hold of
Bad medicine get hold of you, wipe away the tears
With the skin from my hide, wipe away the tears
With the skin from my hide

It's funny how people stare
When your back's against the wall
It's funny how people stare
When your back's against the wall

I reach out my hand, I reach out my hand
For that bad medicine, don't you give into
Don't you give into that bad medicine, that bad medicine
Mm, bad medicine, mm, bad medicine

11. Bone Bag

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
The strangeness that I feel
Rattles my bones
It rattles my bones

Ain't no bonebag

I'm tired and sagging
Only 21 but feel like 99 sometimes

Just sittin' here
In my lazy chair
Watching all the young ones
With their grey hair

Ain't no bonebag
I'm tired and sagging
You know I feel like 99 sometimes

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, bonebag

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, bonebag

Ain't no bonebag
I'm tired and sagging
Only 21 but I feel like 99 sometimes

Makes me feel like 99

Feel like 99

And I feel, feel, feel...

Feel like 99

Only 21 sometimes

Feel like

Feel like

Bonebag

Bonebag

Bonebag

Ain't no bonebag

Bonebag

Ain't no bonebag

Ain't no bonebag

And I feel like 99 sometimes

Ain't no bonebag

I'm tired and sagging

I ain't no bonebag

I'm tired anymore

Only 21

Like 99 sometimes

12. Sea and Sky

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
The boats have sailed away
I stand here on the shore
Can't see them anymore
Can't see them anymore

Waving from afar
To the land called home
Can you come back soon?
We wish we could

We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools

And now, I walk the shore
Searching for my soul
Born in sea and sky
I was born in sea and sky

Cast afloat the sea
Is the ship of fools
And cast afloat the sea
Is the ship of fools

Heaven's know why
They went away
They're all aboard
Except for me

Can you come back soon?
We wish we could
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools

On this ship of fools
On this ship of fools

And now, I walk the shore
Searching for my soul
And born in sea and sky
I was born in sea and sky

In this ship of fools
In this ship of fools
Cast afloat the sea
Is this ship of fools

We think we've gone too far
We think we've gone too far
Think we've gone too far
Think we've gone too far

Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
I said hep cats, sinners, brats
Suck on this for sunshine

Two soldiers went marching
Well, down an open road
With a guilty load
One turned, the other said
"I am dead
This is my calling
On to you
My resurrection for you, yea"

I said
Hep, hep, hep, hep, hep, hep, hep, hep, hep, hep, hep
Suck on this
For the sunshine

Resurrection Joe
Resurrection Joe

15. Zap City

Music by The Cult
Lyrics by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy
Indians bones are crushed to dust
On the road to Zap city
Devil's slow to recognize
Whether we all live in Zap city
Young girls flock to the beaches
Checkin' out boys, checking out creatures
Pacify, sanctify
To the old deal, Zap city

Zap city, she's so pretty
We ordain, mother to many
Zap city, she's so pretty
The girl of your dreams

Livin' in stations sandy girls
Hot on route 66 to Zap city
Another day in paradise
Metropolis moves like a hungry wolf
Desert palm trees, are they real
Line the roadside to Zap city
Buildings red, blood from the sky
Dancing drug addicts real so far

Zap city, she's so pretty
We ordain, mother to many
Zap city, she's so pretty
The girl of your dreams

Zap city, she's so pretty
We ordain, mother to many
Zap city, she's so pretty
The girl of your dreams

Gasoline, mescaline
Abrasive she dog bites
Beauty queen wrapped up too tight
Getting high, staying up all night
Siren's call breaks through the night
God, oh, he's got to fly
Zap city, you know she's so pretty
She's so goddamn pretty

Zap city, she's so pretty
We ordain, mother to many
Zap city, she's so pretty
The girl of your dreams

Zap city, she's so pretty
We ordain, mother to many
Zap city, she's so pretty
The girl of your dreams

Yeah, yeah, yeah
City, city, city, yeah, yeah, yeah
City, city, city, yeah, yeah, yeah
City, city, city, yeah, yeah, yeah
