Want you to know
That I could go anytime
I want you to know
Gave me her lips
Gave me her perfect hips
And I slow down
I slow down in love
Once I rise inside
CHORUS:
Once she would hold me
She was my only
Only true love
Once she had told me
That I'm holy
Only so long
She'll stay all night
She'll be so quiet
And she won't laugh at my jokes

Once, when I was dead,
A G e
And lying still upon a dirty bed,
A hag went through my clothes
A G e
- her fingers cracked and dryer than a bone,
I screamed (but just in my head)
This corpse which lay upon a farmers bed,
But my watch, my wallet was gone;
She was deceived and disappointed at every turn,
A battle - thats what had passed,
And me just a footsoldier killed in the mud,
With a hole next to my heart;
At least thats what it seemed like just at the start,
But the hole was filled by her hand
As she groped around for something she could take,
I guess, the spoils of war
Should just lie back and then complain no more,
So this - could this be the key?
To my general sexual inability -
To feel, the victim of theft

Keep your head inside the bottle
And I’ll just keep cutting up lines
You spend your life in constant sorrow
And I’ll just pretend that I’m fine
Cause only once the drugs are done
Do I feel almost human, numb
And only once my head’s unclear
Do I feel like dying right here
You keep your lies for those who’ll listen
And I’ll just keep borrowing time
The hesitation when you’re missing
All of the moments in life go by
And only once the drugs are done
Do I feel almost human, numb
And only once my head’s unclear
Do I feel like dying right here
You keep your problems so well hidden
That even your tears feel like smiles
That I will die here is a given
And no one will ever know why
Only once the drugs we done
Did I feel almost human, numb
And only once my head was clear

I was foolish once and I let my once get away
I was happy once you'd never believe it today
Eyes got careless once all that was you got away
Life has beauty once it's not worth living today
I slipped out once all that was you slipped away
All great regret like the flavor of wineou only grows deeper with the passing of time
Life had meaning once it's cold and empty today

Once
Is all I'll need to show you
Love making is an art
But once-made love
Won't be nearly enough
Once
I win your heart
Once
Upon a timeless romance
Love often was denied
But a thousand knights
Couldn't take me away
Once
I'm at your side
The world gets bigger as you look behind
Pouring in when you leave
You'll miss where you're going if you stare
I hope you're next to me
Watching it all go by
You'd get lost in all that world
Once
Just comes once in a lifetime
Then it becomes ago
All I ask is to kiss your lips
Once
And then you'll know
Once

Once
I was strong
Now I see
I was wrong
What I need
All along
I ve received
Now it s gone
Once
You were here
And I wanted you near
Now I ve made
What I ve feared
Now I ve made
What I feared
You keep me wanting you
When I think of you
I wish that you were here
Every now and then
I dream about you my dear
I d tell you my regret would never disappear
If I could see you once again
Once
I believed
Now I feel so deceived
That I should be relieved
That our love is bereaved
You keep me wanting you
When I think of you
I wish that you were here
Every now and then
I dream about you my dear
I d tell you my regret would never disappear

Hey you
Can i breathe
If my chest is covered
Hey you
Is my face making sense
Eyes can€™t be still
In a moment so tense
Here babe
Are the notes you must play
This babe, is the procedure
Here babe
Not in another way
I can assure you
That you will be okay
Once would do
Once could change everything
Once could tell
And help me to clear out
Some things
Once would make
No difference at all
Once or not
I€™ve already made this fall
Hey you
Make the most of the time
You€™ve got to cross many borders
If you can€™t control your mind
Something will happen
It€™s just a question of time
Oh babe
I can€™t concentrate
I€™m here for the wrong reason
It€™s you who makes my knees shake
One season, then
The brakes are gonna break

I never thought my voice was weak
lost in the ruins of agony
They told me I was the one
who veiled the stars and the sun
I am trembling and I bleed
Only silence could see my pain and agony
I never thought I ought to run
I never seen the things you've done
I never wanted to feel growing misery
I never thought my life was weak
sunk in the rivers of agony
They told me I am not the one
who shines like the bursting Sun

Suele despertar desnudo
en una calle y finge
naturalidad cuando la chica yanki
encara hacia él
entran a un lugar
mersa medieval
oyen un suspiro
y pisan a un mendigo
y eso se transforma
en la manguera de un narguile
disimula el desconcierto
cuando sus padres lo encuentran
negociando kif por armas en plaza miserere
van a un funeral por el chaparral
besan a la viuda
que se desfigura
y esa mueca se transforma en su pariente
trae a casa mi rock'n'roll.
Una tribu de ortodoxos
del mesianismo lo embosca
rumbo a la medina en trance
van salmodiando su nombre
trae a casa mi rock'n'roll.
Chicos y chicas bailan
chicos y chicas bailan
en el funeral del rock.

Chorus:
Can't run too much work to be done
Don't lie, something that you can't deny
Feel blue, yeah us too once in a while
But we know, we know, we know know the style
I'm up against the wall drinking mad alcohol
Got myself a headache now I need some Tylenol
Time alone would be dandy in beaches that are sandy
Walking by the sea with the sun feeling free
Got my pocket on-e with no worries
Someone's trying to blast me so I do my concentration
With one arm dumbbells 'cause in New York
Streets tend to raise hell I do my sit ups dips and
pull ups
I even take a jog and stay fit
just in case brothers push up to see
I do my leaving ganja stenches on park benches
Get the wrenches open up the hydrant its hot now
The flow be all over your block in a puddle you can
check
My crew in a huddle if there's trouble I don't engage
In physical rage I never thought the devil was a
Caucasian
It's amazing how our minds just sink if that's the way
you think
Then your just an ignorant newborn infant don't
understand
Bigotry man color blind my man kind of nature
Read the instructions you still wont know my function
Your style is second-hand used bought at auction
It's going once it's going twice you could think your
nice
But I know you bought that style for a price a fare a
A but one get one free what do you think this is a MC
Shopping spree like that we don't get down to see
Clear is the vision the type of brothers you don't see
On television we bring it to you live with a bigger
buzz
Than a beehive hi five if you purchased L.I.V.E.
We still alive regardless of the bullshit struggle and
strive
For that consciousness
Chorus:
Can't run too much work to be done
Don't lie, something that you can't deny
Feel blue, yeah us too once in a while
But we know, we know, we know know the style
'Causing tension in my kingdom boy I'll
teach you never blast you
Looking for the greener not the money but the pasture
Royalty with knots, what they bringing to my flocks
Nothing! So lay people give their loyalty to blocks and
glocks
Hard rocks don't step to me I'm lava I'll melt you, you
know
You're no longer at the helm mere words do not express
What exists in higher realms some will personify,
Others do or die
Champions simply do like forever coming through
If everything's for nothing well then nothing is for
But everything is cool everybody got a school
They subscribe to
I ain't trying to bribe you or jive you
God gave me this energy I'm sorry if it vibes you
Right or wrong my energy is strong
It flows it goes bust in times of mega lust
Still grows from the dust left resurrect
We're putting in mad work but there's mad work left
Now we move it on the yes for the tame and the wild
We see and feel plus breathe live the style
My style your style the style similar
To the sweetness of a virgin when you enter her
But this dog eat dog world wasn't meant for her
Or me or even you now the brothers of the groove
Are singing songs of freedom but we sing blues too
Damn!
I didn't know that I could feel so damn low
I didn't think that I could take much more
But now I realize that I can feel so damn high
I guess I never looked inside
Chorus:
Can't run too much work to be done
Don't lie, something that you can't deny
Feel blue, yeah us too once in a while

Once
Once embraced, can't ever be let go
Once revealed, can't ever be not shown
Once believed, can't ever lose faith
Once shared, can't ever be separate
Once sown
Once can't ever be not reaped
Like the dawn of a brand new day
With the power of deity
I can feel it inside of me
Feel it, can you feel it?
Once born, can't ever be not conceived
Once present, can't ever be past
Once first
Once can't ever be not everlast
Returning home of prodigal
Holding the intangible
To believe in a miracle
Believe it, can you believe it
Have you ever been touched?
Once really touched
Could it ever be too much?
Can you tell me?
Once seen, can't ever lose sight
Once dawn, can't ever be not light
Once, once felt, once felt
Can't ever be untouched
The assurance only hope can bring
With the conviction of the unseen
See it's greater than everything
See it, can you see it?
Have you ever been touched
Once really touched
Could it ever be too much?

I love these sounds these voices
The rain in that we use to fall
In another dark and lonely room
With a hundred ecoes for one call
Well we took the horses through the storm
Didn´t know that we would ride
Across the whole human universe
And back again to our desperate pride
Whatever we missed in all those years
How many heros came tumbling down
There´s still a word in the doorway
And there´s no way around
Once
Your guitar is gently weeping
With my voice near by your side
Alone where millions should be
In peace where we should fight
It´s the blindness conquering our light
It´s the rattle killing our tragedy
We gave our blood for memories
Gave our soul for harmony
Once there will be a day
The day we dare to dare to ask
What´s about the gifts we´ve got
Is just you and me and the rain at last
Once there is a shore
Once a whiter shade of pale
Once there´ll be just waves

Earth for all creatures
A thought for all (wo)men
Right for the speechless
Wrong until then?
Eyes for the laughter
Thirst for the tongue
Hands for together
Ears for the song
The song of love
We sing in silence
Every moment long
Once
Here to be done as we do
With only one chance
Here for the wonder of under the stars
For the one and only
Once
Joy for the children
Hope for the chance
Men for the women
Now for the dance
The dance of love
We dance just once
In unique circumstance
Once
Here to be done as we do
With only one chance
Here for the wonder of under the stars

You were a wait so worth
The price of all the hurt inside me
Just when the sun was setting on my heart
You found a way to drown
The loneliness and doubt inside me
Just when my soul was getting used to the dark
Here you are
Of all the roads that wind and curve
The shoots-you-down, some twists and turns
Somehow we found our way
Let's hold each other, fight for this
Life, you know it's all we get
Baby, you only find this kind of love
Once
You're like a song
That finds it's way inside, I can't quit singing
A one of a kind timeless melody
The past just doesn't matter anymore
So let's just leave it
Forever with you is all I ever need
I can't believe
Of all the roads that wind and curve
The shoots-you-downs, some twists and turns
Somehow we found our way
So let's hold each other, fight for this
Life, you know it's all we get
Baby, you only find this kind of love
Once
Of all the roads that wind and curve
The shoots-you-downs, the twists and turns
Somehow we found our way
Let's hold each other, fight for this
Life, you know it's all we get
Baby, you only find this kind of love

Should've been much further then this by now
A little bit more gone a little less twisted around
Should've been much better you'd think
But I'm not, I'm still stuck, I'm still here in this rut
Looking back on everything that we had
Holding on to words that we can't take back
What am I to do with the past
When it's all that I have and I can't get you back
Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and all the love that we shared
Once, oh, once
I remember you sayin' I was the one
And nothing could change that but you were wrong
It's funny how life turns on a dime
Now we don't even talk, I just stare at these walls
And I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and all the love that we shared
Once, you made the world feel so right
Once, you were my morning, noon and night
Why'd we slip away? Why did it all change?
How will I ever be the same?
Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and the love that we shared
Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and all the love that we shared
Should've been much further then this by now

You were fucked up.
Then you straightened up and got your shit together.
No longer living with another woman,
you got your family back.
You got your self together.
Once upon a time
Spend your time trying to find happiness
in a bottle instead in reality,
it's your pride you should swallow.
I never knew, I never saw, but I heard it was awful.
Once upon a time, you got drunk
and you stayed out all night drinking and carrying on.

So anyway
I was about to say
Well I'm afraid
Of slipping right away
Ill prepared
I am so ill prepared
If you concentrate
You can learn it in a day
I'm so suicidal I can't see
I watch Ren & Stimpy on TV
And in the morning I will bleed
My life was wasted on me
On me
Yeah yeah
What is it
That keeps the beat in my chest
It makes me breathe
I never really knew
All these years
I have lived on my own
All my fears
Are slowly coming true
I'm so suicidal I can't see
I watch Ren & Stimpy on TV
And in the morning I can't breathe
My life has wasted me
On me
On me
On me
So I gotta think in straight lines
Stop accumulating dust and
Get a job of something I love
And respect myself and others
And I gotta see my own man
Find out who he is before long
And I gotta see my own man

Earth for all creatures
a thought for all (wo)men
right for the speechless
wrong until then?
Eyes for the laughter
thirst for the tongue
hands for together
ears for the song
the song of love
we sing in silence
every moment long
once
here to be done to as we do
with only one chance
here for the wonder of under the stars
for the one and only

Joy for the children
hope for the chance

now for the dance
the dance of love
we dance just once
in unique circumstance
once
here to be done to as we do
with only one chance
here for the wonder of under the stars

(once)
I didn't know you
But I saw your trash on the curb
(once)
I'd sit there and watch it
But I couldn't find any words
(now)
I think I found them
Turns out you've got some words of your own
(now)
Let's try to hide them for
(once)
This story
This story
(once)
You name the questions and
Ill try to hum back the words
(once)
They'll see it our way when
We promise no one gets hurt
(now)
Let's visualize it again
We'll write it right off the page
(now)
Feels so imaginary
(once)
This story
This story
(once)
You look so happy together
(once)
You seem so happy together
(now)
This story's falling
It's falling
(now)
This story (once) keeps falling down
(once)
You look so happy together
(once)
You seem so happy together
(now)
This story's over
It's over
(now)

I admit it...what's to say...yeah...
I'll relive it...without pain...mmm...
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I play...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah...
Oh, try and mimic what's insane...ooh, yeah...
I am in it...where do I stand?
Oh, Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet...I pray...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah...
You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time...
Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah...
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah...
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Once
Yeah...once, once...yeah, yeah...

Far from this town
Lives one i let down.
And if you go there and you see her
Tell her i'm okay
But dont tell me
Anything she'll say
Cause i once had her
And she once had me
And i left her there
By the roaring sea
And i sometimes wonder
If she still thinks of me
But that wont change
Why we cant be
She's so tender
Smells all summer
And at night when it gets colder
Put a scarf around her shoulder
But never tell me anything she'll say
Cause i once had her
And she once had me
And i left her there
By the roaring sea
And i sometimes wonder
If she still thinks of me
But that wont change
Why we cant be
Cause i once had her
And she once had me
And i left her there
By the roaring sea
And i sometimes wonder
If she still thinks of me
But that wont change
Why we cant be
But that wont change

Here we are, a careful distance
Here’s my heart, what’s left of it
In this town, I used to listen
Once, Once, Yeah
I had hope, blind faith
had as much as you can take
I’m only gonna let you kill me once
I’m only gonna let you kill me then some
I’m only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once...
Ashes burn the morning after
Only know I’m here to stay
I was so, I let you see me
That was dumb, but that’s OK
Tripping down to your place
What is love anyway
I’m only gonna let you kill me once
I’m only gonna let you kill me then some
I’m only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
I’m only gonna let you kill me
Who or whatever you do
Don’t let anyone love you
Touch them where it hurts
And then you’ll leave
I’m only gonna let you kill me once
I’m only gonna let you kill me then some
I’m only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
I’m only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah

You change in front of me
Your eyes get darker everyday
It happens quietly
Your focus slowly burns away
And if you let me hear
The things you seem to wanna say
Though I am late
I will wait to go until I know your somewhere safe
And even if you chose
To lock yourself away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say
Once I was real
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here
Once I was somebody's friend
Once I appear
I will be real once again
You're falling into it
An inescapable release
Or something intimate
Between the you that no one sees
Is there a way inside
You only hide from enemies
Cause I'll wait
I'm afraid you won't get rid of me so easily
And even if you chose
To lock the world away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say
Once I was real
Once I had something to lose
Once I could deal
Once I was harder to bruise
Once I was here (Once I)
Once I was willing to bend
Once I appear (Once I)
I will be real once again
You're falling than
I've ever seen you fall before
For me to wonder when
I'll recognize you anymore
To see no light inside your eyes at all
To bang my head against the wall
To force myself to watch you pull away
And even if you chose
To lock the world away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say
Once I was real (Once I)
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel (Once I)
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here (Once I)
Once I was somebody friend
Once I appear (Once I)
I will be real once again
Once I was real (Once I)
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel (Once I)
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here (Once I)
Once I was somebody friend
Once I appear (Once I)
