She sits and waits
Staring at her reflection
In the darkness of her window
she sees his shade sometimes
illusions come and go
is he finally coming home
but he walks over bridges
crossing empty streets
passing whores and taxidrivers
in his mind he runs the hills
running bare feet
drowned in his illusions
and how she wants to know why they
just keep on repeating why she just can face to leave
and he, he follows all the signs
but all his words they fail her to show
what he already knows
He's a long way gone
A long way gone a long way gone
Now there are no more lies to be done
She sits and waits
The sun is almost rising
A new day has began
And she stumbles into the room
Wakes her little children to tell that father went away
He walks over bridges crossing empty streets
Passing whores and taxidrivers
In his mind he runs the hills
Running barefeet
Drowned in his conclusions
He' a long way gone…

Time is passing by
Cracks are tumbling in my smile
I have a roadmap round my eyes
But I still don’t know wich way to drive
I’m a dreamer
Can somebody announce that
I like to find my way to you
I need an airplane to feel I’m on the ground yeah
One day I’ll catch my flight to you
Time is just another wrecking ball
Time is just another wrecking ball
Time is just another wrecking ball
The radio is on
I’m waiting for my song to come
There’ s a devil at my gate
Time cuts like a razorblade
And I can easily wait another round here
There’s not much left for me to do
Could you please put your money where your mouth is
One day I’ll catch my flight to you
Time is just another wrecking ball...
Lalalalalaaa
I’m a dreamer
Can somebody announce that
I like to keep my youth forgood
I can easily wait another round here
As long I’ll find my way to you
If all is love and love is all
Why the hell did he leave us alone
And if the truth is hard
but the heart is true
is that why he never came home?
Papapapapapapapa
If Neil Young was a soldier now
Would we send him into battlefields
Right or wrong we will go on
Cause we never learn from what we’ve done
Papapapapapapapa
Papapapapapapapa
Oh let us sing
Let us sing for love
Let us sing for love to come
Let us run for love
Let us run for love to come
Let us heal yeah let us heal their hearts
Let us heal for love to come
Papapapapapapa
Papapapapapapa
I’ve got some heartsick lyrics I want you to know about
Cause you’re wondering, wondering
Just what this life is all about
And so you drink
Until you sink
And so you drink
Until you sink
Whooo let us sing
Let us sing
She sits and waits
Staring at her reflection
In the darkness of her window

I like to seek for water in a desert
I made that memo to myself
I like to tickle everything
That has stains to be in the shelves
I like to stand with my feet in cold water
Like to debate in my underwear
I like to love without that I'm your honey frustration
Like to love with some despair
I got a crossroad passport
Traveled out delays and any traffic jam
You are the gem that I'd like to unravel
And I know now that you're truly not a good man
So pick me up and hold me down and come again and come
around
So drink me up and dazzle me
I'm not afraid I'll be at peace yeah (2x)
I like to seek for water in a desert
I made that memo to myself
I like to dance with some stubborn white faces
Like to brighten them up with my flair
I like to colour everything which stays to be black or
white
I hate to see how you stick with the nation
Without retification, just like Bush and Blair
I got a crossroad passport
Traveled out delays and any traffic jam
You are the gem that I'd like to unravel
And I know now that you're truly not a good man
So pick me up and hold me down and come again and come
around
So drink me up and dazzle me
I'm not afraid I'll be at peace yeah (2x)
Instrumental
So pick me up and hold me down and come again and come
around
So drink me up and dazzle me
I'm not afraid I'll be at peace yeah (2x)
So pick me up and hold me down and come again and come
around
So drink me up and dazzle me
One, two
The battle is on
Three, four
Don’t come running along
I am
Who I am
Don’t wait
For me to hesitate
Cause I don’t have much time to obey
I’ve got reasons to stay alive
And time will tell how much this parade
Will cost me along the way
I do
Intend to be
Honestly
Sweeter then one can be
I gave
Everything
From stiff to swing
But that didn’t mean a thing
Cause I don’t have much time to obey
I’ve got reasons to stay alive
And time will tell how much this parade
Will cost me along the way
“You can have my autograph”
I’m likely to say
No I won’t have an attitude
I will smile as you wave
One, two
The battle is on
Three, four
Don’t come running along
I am
Who I am
Don’t wait
for me to hesitate
For me to hesitate
Cause I don’t have much time to obey
I’ve got reasons to stay alive
And time will tell how much this parade
Sometimes I feel how your heart gets distracted
The heart and the head
How does it feel to be a cliché
Why are my eyes not a reason for crying
For getting abstract and losing your mind
I don't believe that your love is trustworthy
You sing and you dance
But you never approach
The deaf and the dumb and the blind do agree
That you shut them out cause you simply believe
This is what life is
Sometimes you lose
This is what life is
Some people lose
I always felt there were bigger fish to fry
I always felt I had to give it a better try
You said they broke the mold I was made of
You said
Silly princess
You're too much to involved
All I wanna give you is do you dare to be a dreamer
All I wanna give you is do you dare to believe
All I wanna give you is did you know
that time won't be a healer
Without you
And now you're an old man
Who's left by his wife
Cause you dilly-dallied
To become
The man who's inside you
And you're sick to the bone
And you are rarer than most
And I've got to choose whether I'm silly
I hear the rain on the window down the hall
I'm staring in front of me
I'm trying to find that hole
Alice from Wonderland jumped through it
I couldn't do it
Couldn't find right mister Rabbit
To push me through it
I hear the rain on the window down the hall
You're standing naked in my room
You say you' re hungry
I order white fish
You just want your sandwich
Story of the wife, glory of my live
The weather is changing
Hear the wind its crying louder
I know I can't make it
I've got so much to do
The weather is changing
There's something in the air
That makes me long for fun arcades, disco songs and
hitparades
Billy-jean in a dancing scene, funny men that won't
complain
I hear the rain on the window down the hall (tic tic)
Your voice still echoes echoes in my head and in the
bedroom
I'm incapable of smalltalk, just cannot do it
You ask me why the sun won't shine
Well, honey let me tell you why
The weather is changing….
Listen Honeybunny
Everytime when I hear the rain drip dripping on my
window
And I hear you preaching
And I hear you complain
I know I gotta go searching
I gotta go searching for that right mister Rabbit
Stay
Jacob is calling
The wind sang his name
Mother earth
Made sure it would rain
Cause baby is turning
His heart couldn't stay
Like those old playingcards
he shuffled his ways.
Why could'nt he stay
Of all the things I dare to be, I'll be your crusader
Why couldn't he stay
Of all the things you need to be, will you be my baby
to stay
And Lucy was crying
Her heart was stuck
with all the pain there is
since baby took off
Winter came passing
Turned into spring
Lucy still crying too much
started to sing
Why couldn't you stay….
And all was still the same
when fall drops its rains
Lucy still stared above trying to gain
Some words from her baby
Still gone and asleep
All that all was left to do
for her is to weep
Stay
Stay
Why could'nt he stay
Of all the things I dare to be, I'll be your crusader
Why couldn't he stay
Of all the things you need to be, will you be my baby
He has little red feet
His stockin's in his shoes
Lipstick and rouge on his face
He has his hair piled high
Has a red umbrella
And carries his head in the sky
And I said: "Oh, Rosie
Don't you do that to the boys
Don't you come on so willing
Don't you come on so strong
It can be so chillin'
When you act so willin'
And your warmth sets like the sun"
He has a little baby brother
A big fat mama
His sister asks for dimes on the street
He doesn't feel it's a cover
In fact he knows
For sure he can please
I said he's out there right now
Running with the devil
Struttin' down the alley ways
With the nervous young hopeful
At his heel
And know his satisfaction won't drive him away
And I said: "Oh, Rosie
Don't you do that to the boys
Don't you come on so willing
Don't you come on so strong
It can be so chillin'
When you act so willin'
And your warmth sets like the sun"
He's not looking for a friend
He's not looking for a lover
There in the crowded bar
He has rings on his fingers
He's there to tease
You know he only wants to take things too far
And I said: "Oh, Rosie
Don't you do that to the boys
Don't you come on so willing
Don't you come on so strong
It can be so chillin'
When you act so willin'
And your warmth sets like the sun"
And I said: "Oh, Rosie
Don't you do that to the boys
Don't you come on so willing
Don't you come on so strong
It can be so chillin'
When you act so willin'
And your warmth sets like the sun"
And I said: "Oh, Rosie
Don't you do that to the boys
Don't you come on so willing
Don't you come on so strong
It can be so chillin'
When you act so willin'
It's all about a rainstorm
When I forget to give my reply
Its all about infidelity
When I smile and shut my mouth
And kiss his feet
He sits there right in front of me
While he eats his forgotten meat
Sarcasm is dripping of the walls
His patronizing vocabulary
Is plugged in, at repeat
He thinks I'm naked
I'm just bare
Except for my needs
Have you seen the writing on the wall
when I forgot to tell you my name
have you seen Clockwork Orange
did you know that my heart couldn't take it?
Have you seen the writing on the wall
When I forgot to tell you my name
It's all about priorities..
Suddenly she takes my hand
As a tear rolls down her cheek
Her sorry life is dripping at my feet
And I'm waiting for the man to come
I'm waiting for that masterpiece
About making dinner and what is cooking
Stayd underneath
Have you seen the writing on the wall
when I forgot to tell you my name
have you seen Clockwork Orange
did you know that my heart couldn't take it?
Have you seen the writing on the wall
When I forgot to tell you my name
It's all about priorities..
Its all about you and me…
Yeah
Out of nothing he shakes his head
As he steals my question to reduce
Our dialogue into his monologue
And he does not care to notice
that his repetitions are my grief
It’s like my dear friends
Out he said
As I cracked in his past
Blood run in his eyes
My tears they were a fact
Love don't seem to wash it all away
Water seems to wash it all away
Can I draw a dirty line
Will I be specific
Pull me some wine
A century has just begun
Give me some time and I'll pull out the drum
Love don't seem to wash it all away
Water seems to wash it all away
I've got a one way ticket
Cause everything is gone
Loving all around me
Got to keep going on
One way ticket
Cause this road is too long
Loving all around me
Got to keep going on
How I see
He lost his youth
Way too much too early
Way too much to choose
Love don't seem to wash it all away
Water seems to wash it all away
I've got a one way ticket
Cause everything is gone
Loving all around me
Got to keep going on
One way ticket
Cause this road is too long
Loving all around me
Got to keep going on
Cause when love is gone
Then the road is long
Cause when love is gone
Although seems so easy
To keep going in this crazy old world
We are living in
I've got a one way ticket
Cause everything is gone
Loving all around me
Got to keep going on
One way ticket
Cause this road is too long
Loving all around me
Got to keep going on
Cause everything is gone
And the road seems so long
Loving all around me (3x)
Got to keep going on
Monday morning I wake up
And I give my guy a kiss and I go-go-go
To the bakery down the street
I buy bread, I buy cake and I go-go-go
To the supermarket
To buy a little this,
and I buy a little that,
I buy a little chocolate and I go-go-go
With the car to dug the rush
I talk to the man
I drink his lousy coffee
I pay him too much and I go-go-go
To my friend at the Barney Bar
And I order a cheese sandwich
And I talk a little to my friend
But my friend, he's way to busy
So I just grab a newspaper
I read some nasty headlines
I don't wanna read nasty headlines
So I just look a little around me
And then I see-see-see
That's my boyfriend across the street
I kissed him this morning
But he didn't kiss me back
And I can see now why
Cause he's kissing her
And he really seems to like it
And I know-know-know
I, I'll never be, never be,
She’s a case of blue
Didn’t you hear
When she was talking to you
She’s a case of red
That’s what she said
When she was tripping over her past
Mary Jane
Are you insane
Mary Jane
Are you insane
Well let us laugh
Cause crying makes us lose
The game
She’s a case of black
There was a time she thought
She’d never make it back
She’s a case of red
That’s what she said
When she was tripping over her past
Mary Jane
Are you insane
Mary Jane
Are you insane
Let us laugh
Cause crying makes us lose
The game
She’s a case of green
There’s nothing in between
Hey, hey
Close your eyes
Cause life can be hard
And watch your tongue
Cause rebels may cause
Heartache, regrets and shame
Oh, you grow so fast
I wish all could stay
The same
My son, you’ve said
I’m miles away
But the love I give
Is like sun after rain
Diamonds, oceans and seas
They don’t mean a thing
As long as you’re not
Here with me
I may be
Miles away
But I will care
For you
Till the end
Do you remember growing up
Like a too sudden change was blowing us up
And we were so dedicated
to the dreams that we had
And we were so stimulated
by the love we left behind
Do you remember Charlie,
Charlie said that time was just a healer
We said time completes your phrase
And as we're praying for the next one
Straight end songs used to fill our day
If I ever knew
I would be missing you so much
I shoulda laughed a little more
I should have laughed a little more
Do you remember the first time
We felt a little hungry for love
And we were laughing and chatting
And tried to come up first
Do you remember Billy Ray came
and used to steal my heart
and you used laughed and you called me Fuz
If I ever knew
I would be loving him so much
I shoulda dared a little more
I should have dared a little more
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
We travelled around until his father found him some
And we would gather around to see for his first little
speech
and fair doing to me
And there was nothing that I would not do for you
And there was nothing that I would not do for you
Do you remember growing up
Like a too sudden change was blowing us up
And we were so dedicated
to the dreams that we had
And we were so stimulated
by the love we left
And If I ever knew
I would be loving you so much
I shoulda dared a little more
I should have dared a little more
If I ever knew
I would be missing you so much
I haven’t been
I haven’t been
I haven’t been
The same since then
So it goes
So it goes
So it goes
It often shows
And everything must change
Everything will change
I need a hand I need a
hand I need a
hand to understand
I’m a firefly, a firefly
I need the dark to
Shine real bright
I hear the drum, I aint numb
I hear, I hear
What’s going on
You didn’t see
The best of me
You obviously chose
Not to
And everything must change
Everything will change
I need a hand...
How I wonder how it got this far
I am tongue-tied
Lost the battle in our fight
I want you to
Catch a golden star
I want you
To be who you are
Brown feather at the shopping-mall
Rabbits dying on the A41
This world’s a jungle and its almost gone
Let the water come
Let the water come
Wake up, this is your wake up-call
It’s 2/11, 7 minutes, come on you gotta run yeah
This world’s a jungle and I’m not that strong
Let the water come
It’s because I’m bruised, dear
I lose it every time
I wanna kill my prophecies
Can you tell me why
I know
If we don’t change, dear
I Know I need to be strong
I do feel the pain, dear
I know we are heading wrong
Four seasons and no one knows which one
That’s because snow’s falling
When there should be sun
Running motors, industries,
too many guns
Let the water come
It’s because I’m bruised, dear
I lose it every time
I wanna kill my prophecies
Can you tell me why
I know
If we don’t change, dear
I Know I need to be strong
I do feel the pain, dear
I know we are heading wrong
Be quiet
You just wait in silence
Words that I need to hear
The earth, the people and the sky
are fading
Brown feather at the shopping-mall...
Thank you sir can I be here for a while
I have a pretty smile and I am a little wise
Shall I sing, shall I go, shall I dance,
shall I bow for you?
Do you think you could give me some time
To get close to you?
I just want my baby back
There’s a heartache in my chest
And its growing fast
I wish there was a way I could forecast
how you feel, can you tell, if you know
what you think of me?
I just want my baby back
Hey hey hey
I’ve gotta know
I’ve gotta feel
You’ve gotta show
If you belong
Do you belong to me
Thank you sir can I be here for a while
I have a mixed up mind and a too big frown
Did you know I can be, I can be real good to you?
Let me sing let me go let me dance let me bow for you
I just want my baby back
Hey hey hey
I’ve gotta know
I’ve gotta feel
You’ve gotta show
If you belong
Do you belong to me
I don’t need no explanations love’s a battlefield
Always has been
It will never change
Love’s a battlefield
I sit her down and said everything will be okay
I gotta go you're on way yeah
You gotta go
She looked away and said are you really sure about this
It's gonna be a tough road out there yes
There is gonna be a way
But all that he did was
Kiss my lips and change my name
Marriage is only for the ones who can forgive
What would I do if I found my beloved truth
He looked down and wondered if she's gonna be okay
She felt so lost she felt like Jekyll and Hyde
So in haste to find a name
What would I do to
Feel alive and be alright
It always seems worthwhile
Not to be in justice see
What can I do if I found my beloved truth
Hello, hello, hello
Did you see the sky tumble when I fell out of it
God I didn't know what to do to be good
Hello Hello Hello
Did you know the word's crawling when you're asleep
honey
We no longer know what to do
To be good yeah
Hello Hello
She had told her not to be in haste too much
Your life's gonna be useless if you run it apart
If you run too fast, the world will make you stop
All that I did was
Run too fast, I couldn't see
Marriage is only for the ones who can forgive
What would I do if I found my beloved truth
Hello hello hello
Did you see the sky tumble when I fell out of it
God I didn't know what to do to be good
Hello Hello Hello
Did you know the word's crawling when you're asleep
honey
We no longer know what to do
To be good yeah
Hello Hello
Beautiful world
I like my life today
Beautiful sky
You’ve got a comforting way in
Being pretty so they say
Everyone is kinder
And everyone is like you said
Be a beautiful soul
I try to be
I cry and laugh
I like my life
Oh I love my life
Girls can be real foolish
Girls can easily lose their heads
Girls can have real long legs
It must have been a girl who said
Like your life
Love your life
I want my life to be
Oh, just like your life
All is good
All is good
Love is the best
Never break your heart dear
There’s nothing we cannot talk about
Never break your heart dear
There’s so much love
Don’t ever doubt
Like your life
Hey! Do it now!
Yeah hey!
Yeah, once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a Rock & Roll band
I never had no problems,
Yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly, yes I did
To disco down and check out the show
Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me,
somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, yeah yeah
I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
(how could I)
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there
(I got to go back here)
And check to see if things still the same
Yeah they were dancin', and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me,
Somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music til you die
til you die, Ohh til you die
Gonna play some electrified funky music, yeah
Hey wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' Rock & Rollin' minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better
(it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin'
(no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were dancin' and singin'
and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me,
somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, oh till you die
They shouted play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Gotta keep on playin' funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Gotta take a higher note
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
