Sway
- Jagger/Richard
Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway It's just that demon
life has got you in its sway
Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground For all my friends out on
the burial ground Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway It's just that demon
life has got me in its sway
There must be ways to find out
Love is the way they say is really strutting out
One day I woke up to find
Right in the bed next to mine
Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway It's just that demon
life has got me in its sway
Wild Horses
- Jagger/Richard
Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you Graceless lady, you know

Wild, wild horses,
Couldn't drag me away...

the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines,
Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
Couldn't drag me away...
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie,
I have my freedom but I don't have much time Faith has been broken

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
We'll ride them someday
Wild Horses,

Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here? What am I
doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
Ah, Can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to score.
Well it just goes to show things are not what they seem Please, Sister
Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams. Oh can't you see I'm fading
fast?
And that this shot will be my last.
Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hands on my head Ah come on,

You can sit around and you can watch all the clean white sheets
stained red.

Moonlight Mile
- Jagger/Richard
When the wind blows and the rain feels cold with a head full of snow
with a head full of snow
In the window there's a face you know Don't the night pass slow
Don't the night pass slow
The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind Just another mad mad
day on the road
I am just living to be lying by your side
But I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road
Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes
Gonna warm my bones,
gonna warm my bones
I got silence on my radio
Let the air waves flow,
let the air waves flow
For I'm sleeping under strange strange skies Just another mad mad day
on the road
My dreams are fading down the railway line I'm just about a moonlight
mile down the road
I'm hiding sister and I'm dreaming
I'm riding down your moonlight mile
I'm hiding sister and I'm dreaming
