-----Are you ready-------
Hear the old whistle blowin'
they're pulling the plug
we got to get going
they got our hole dug
are you ready? Are you ready, are you ready to love?
Are you ready? Ready, are you ready to love?

The Devils in the blues
smoked to the stub
never accept
them except with a shrug

Are you ready? Are you ready, are you ready to love?
Are you ready? Ready, are you ready to love?
to love,
to love,
to love,
to love.

They got safety fifth
and they take the world straight
whatever it is
they'll just have to wait
to get pretended back
who wants to the tough
to be permanent
permanent enough

are you ready? Are you ready, are you ready to love?
are you ready? Are you ready, are you ready to love?
Are you ready? Ready, are you ready to love?
Are you ready? Ready, are you ready to love?
to love,
to love,
to love,

-----Use it up-----
use it all up
don't save a thing for later
if there's music of their laying in wait
to pounce and drain every ounce if you wait or hesitate
and music that'll help you the tough
and come together on more than Springsteen
the most days it's been enough
then there's music that can take you away
away
away
away

So use it up
use it all up
don't save a thing for later
use it up
Use it all up
don't save a thing for later

If there's music of their staying awake
to cry and drain every eye until hatred's eliminated
and music that can help you feel great
and come together in 'the fictive dream'
with a kinda Randy Newman take
there's music that can take you away
away
away
away
where we can jump to our feet, agape
'cause nothing is cruel
and even if it is or was
in defeasably cruel
and we don't care because ...
yer a fool
I'm a fool
yer a fool
and I'm a fool
for music that can take you away
for music that can take you away
for music that can take you away
music that can take you away

So use it up
use it all up
don't save a thing for later

-----The darkest one-----
Come in, come in, come in
from under these darling skies come in
its warm and it safe in here and almost harkening
off to a time and place now lost on our imagination

Where you don't complain - but you still do
in the don't explain - if you want to - explain
what you believe you say with a shame, ' I just do'
to say what you mean you don't mean what you say
- or you do

Where the wild are strong
and the strong are the darkest ones
and you're the darkest one

Come in, come in, come in, come in
from thin and wicked prairie winds, come in
its warm and it's safe here and almost heartening
here in a time and place not lost on our imagination

Where you don't explain - but you still do
in your can complain - if you want to - complain
they are you're real instrumental or supple or sexy as hell
where you say ' I believe' or say without shame,
' I can't tell'

Where the wild are strong
and the strong are the darkest ones
and you're the darkest one
o' and you're the darkest one
and if that's what you want
o' then you're the darkest one
