Infidels session 15, Power Station NYC - 27.apr.1983, bootleg version (b)

Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams
In another lifetime she must have owned the world or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlight streams.

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives.

Think i'll go out and go for a walk
Not much happenin' here, nothin' ever does
Besides if she wakes up now she'll just want me to talk
I got nothin' to say, 'specially about whatever was.

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives.

Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race
It goes to the worthy who can divide the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me to look into justice's beautiful face
And i see an eye for an eye an' a tooth for a tooth.

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives.

Outside of two men on a train platform there's nobody in sight
They're waitin' for spring to come, smokin' down the track [/oversearchin' the track(b)]
The world can come to an end tonight but that's all right
She should still be there sleepin' when i get back.

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives.

Noontime and i'm still pushin' myself along the road, the darkest part
Into the narrow lanes i can stumble and stay put
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth but i'm listenin' only to my heart
I made shoes for everyone, even you while i still go barefoot.

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives. up

SPRINGTIME IN NEW YORK:
    THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 16 / 1980-1985


Infidels session 15, Power Station NYC - 27.apr.1983, BS-16 version 

Been years since a strange woman has slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams
In another lifetime she must have owned the world or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlight streams.

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives.

Think i'll go out and go for a walk
Not much happenin', i get someone to see
Besides if she wakes up now she'll just want me to talk
I got nothin' to say, 'specially about what soon could not be.

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives.

I took an untrodden path once, where the swift didn't win the race
It went to the worthy who could divide the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me to look into justice's face
And i see an eye for an eye an' a tooth for a tooth.

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives.

Outside of two men on a train platform there's nobody in sight
They're waitin' for spring to come, smokin' down the track
The world can come to an end tonight but that's all right
She should still be there sleepin' when i get back.

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives.

Well it's noontime and i'm still pushin' myself along the road, on the darkest part
Into the narrow lanes i can stumble an' stay put
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth but i'm listenin' only to my heart
I made shoes for everyone, even you while i still go barefoot.

I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives. up
