Promise Lyrics
Do I wipe the tear or do I spit in your face? Do I point the finger or give the hand of grace? Oh why does it come to this? Is it freedom that you want or are the chains in your head? Can a man play God when he made his own bed? Oh why does it come to this? Whatever happened to the love that

Black day in July
Motor city madness has touched the countryside
And through the smoke and cinders
You can hear it far and wide
The doors are quickly bolted
And the children locked inside
Black day in July
Black day in July
And the soul of Motor City is bared across the land
As the book of law and order is taken in the hands
Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land
Black day in July
Black day in July
In the streets of Motor City is a deadly silent sound
And the body of a dead youth lies stretched upon the ground
Upon the filthy pavement
No reason can be found

Wild Children Lyrics

Black day in July
Motor City madness has touched the countryside
And the people rise in anger
And the streets begin to fill
And there's gunfire from the rooftops
And the blood begins to spill
Black day in July
In the mansion of the governor
There's nothing that is known for sure
The telephone is ringing
And the pendulum is swinging
And they wonder how it happened
And they really know the reason
And it wasn't just the temperature
And it wasn't just the season
Black day in July
Black day in July
Motor City's burning and the flames are running wild<
Surrender To A Stranger Lyrics
Lonely I'd like to drown me in my coffee Counting hours with cappuccinos Sitting framed within the window I'm lonely I sit here acting like I'm reading I'm reading minds And sadly dreaming There's some of me left to believe in Surrender Surrender That businessman smel

They reflect upon the waters of the river and the lakeLonely I'd like to drown me in my coffee Counting hours with cappuccinos Sitting framed within the window I'm lonely I sit here acting like I'm reading I'm reading minds And sadly dreaming There's some of me left to believe in Surrender Surrender That businessman smel
And everyone is listening
And everyone's awake
Black day in July
Black day in July
The printing press is turning
And the news is quickly flashed
And you read your morning paper
And you sip your cup of tea
And you wonder just in passing
Is it him or is it me
Black day in July
In the office of the President
The deed is done the troops are sent
There's really not much choice you see
It looks to us like anarchy
And then the tanks go rolling in
To patch things up as best they can
There is no time to hesitate

Real Lyrics
(Christa Wells & Tiffany Arbuckle Lee) Look at me I'm twenty three Beautiful a sight to see Tonight A little dress to draw the press And I'll be leaving All the rest behind Well be pleased girl If this is what you wanted The whole world is watching you take the stage
he speech is made the dues can wait (Christa Wells & Tiffany Arbuckle Lee) Look at me I'm twenty three Beautiful a sight to see Tonight A little dress to draw the press And I'll be leaving All the rest behind Well be pleased girl If this is what you wanted The whole world is watching you take the stage
Black day in July
Black day in July
The streets of Motor City now are quiet and serene
But the shapes of gutted buildings
Strike terror to the heart
And you say how did it happen
And you say how did it start
Why can't we all be brothers
Why can't we live in peace
But the hands of the have-nots
Keep falling out of reach
Black day in July
Black day in July
Motor city madness has touched the countryside
And through the smoke and cinders
You can hear it far and wide
The doors are quickly bolted
And the children locked inside
