I got a friend named Whiskey Sam
He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam
He said is my country just a little off track
Took 'em twenty-five years to welcome me back
But, it's better than not coming back at all
Many a good man I saw fall
And even now, every time I dream
I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream
Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
My children love me , but they don't understand
And I got a woman who knows her man
Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on
I remember one night, Tex and me
Rappelled in on a hot L.Z
We had our 16's on rock and roll
But, with all that fire, I was scared and cold
We were crazy, we were wild
And I have seen the tiger smile
I spit in a bamboo viper's face
And I'd be dead , but by God's grace
Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
My children love me , but they don't understand
And I got a woman who knows her man
Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on
It was a real slow walk in a real sad rain
And nobody tried to be John Wayne
I came home, but Tex did not
And I can't talk about the hit he got
I got a little limp now when I walk
Got a little tremolo when I talk
But my letter read from Whiskey Sam
You're a walkin' talkin' miracle from Vietnam
Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
My children love me , but they don't understand
And I got a woman who knows her man
It seems like all the world is fighting
They're even talking of a war
Let all the Russians and the Chinese
And the Spanish do their fighting
The sun is shining
We're going drivin', drivin'
Drop all your work
Leave it behind
Forget all your problems
And get in my car
And take a drive with me
The sandwiches are packed
The tea is in the flask
We've plenty of beer
And gooseberry tarts
So take a drive with me
We'll take your mother if you want to
We'll have a picnic on the grass
Forget your nephews
And your cousins and your brothers and your sisters
They'll never miss us
'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin'. drivin'. drivin'
Thousands of trees
Hundreds of fields
Millions of birds
So why don't you come
And take a drive with me
We'll talk to the cows
And laugh at the sheep
We'll lie in a field
And we'll have a sleep
So take a drive with me
And all the troubled world around us
Seems an eternity away
And all the debt collectors
Rent collectors
All will be behind us
But they'll never find us
'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'
Passed Barnet Church
Up to Potters Bar
We won't be home late
It's not very far
So take a drive with me, take a drive with me
Ooo wah
Ooo wah
Every time I have a date there's only one place to go
That's to the drive in
It's such a groovy place to talk and maybe watch a show
Down at the drive in
Forget about the plot, it'll do very well
But make sure you see enough so you're prepared to tell
About the drive in
(Ooo wah)
I love the drive in
(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)
If the windows get fogged you'll have to take a breath
(Oooooooo waah oooo)
Down at the drive in
(Wah wah ooooooo)
Or the cat dressed in white will scare you both to death
Down at the drive in
A big buttered popcorn and an extra large coke
A few chili dogs and man I'm goin' broke
Down at the drive in
(Ooo wah)
Yeah at the drive in
(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)
Don't sneak your buddies in the trunk 'cause they might get caught
By the drive in
(Wah wah wah ooooooo)
And they'd look kinda stupid gettin' chased through the lot
(Wah ooooooo)
Around the drive in
If you say you watch the movie you're a couple o' liars
And "Remember only you can prevent forest fires"
Down at the drive in
(Ooo wah)
I love the drive in
(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)
Down at the drive in
(Ooo wah)
I love the drive in
(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)
Down at the drive in
(Ooo wah)

Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on
Driven up and down in circles
Skidding down a road of black ice
Staring in and out storm windows
Driven to a fool's paradise
It's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive
Driven to the margin of error
Driven to the edge of control
Driven to the margin of terror
Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole
Driven day and night in circles
Spinning like a whirlwind of leaves
Stealing in and out back alleys
Driven to another den of thieves
But it's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive
Driven in...Driven to the edge
Driven out...On the thin end of the wedge
Driven off...By things I've never seen
Driven on...By the road to somewhere I've never been
But it's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive
The road unwinds towards me
What was there is gone
The road unwinds before me
And I go riding on
But it's my turn to drive
Doo wop wop
Doo wop wop
Every time I have a date there¡¯s only one place to go
That¡¯s to the drive in
Doo wop wop
It¡¯s such a rab place to go and maybe watch a show
Down at the drive in
Doo wop wop
Gonna have a little pill and maybe smoke a bowl
Then I went to the back so I can rock ¡®n roll
Down at the drive in
Doo wop wop
Down at the drive in
Doo wop wop
Doo wop wop
If the windows get foggy I¡¯ll have to take a breath
Down at the drive in
Doo wop wop
Twenty minutes to go there¡¯s no Correcto left
Down at the drive in
Doo wop wop
I wanna extra-large pizza and maybe have a toke
But there¡¯s so much money, have to go go go
Down at the drive in
Doo wop wop
Stop the man from endin' up with all the chips
So he can't promise him an only chance
To have the freedom that's been taken from me
You can try to lift your head, no
You ****** up with me, now live with the truth
Find a reason to lie, try
Seems like it hasn't been long
I've given so much, how could you hide?
You're sick with all the guilt, you're never forgiven
You try to wash it away, wash it away
Ask again, why, all the dreams I had are now left broken
Punished for a wounded past
Afraid to wake and find reality breathin'
Why has life been taken from me?
I ****** up and now I live with the truth
With no reason to lie
I feel like it hasn't been long
I'm driven to keep myself alive
You're sick with all the guilt, you're never forgiven
You'll never wash it away, wash it away
How can you live with yourself?
Seems like it hasn't been long
I've given so much, how could you hide?
[Incomprehensible] you have your freedom for leavin'
'Cause you go wash it away
I feel like it hasn't been long
I'm driven to keep myself alive
You're sick with all the guilt, you're never forgiven
I'll never wash it away, wash it away
Stop dreamin'
A darker power.
Thick blood inside a flower.
A beast who preys on love,
Love?
The need is there.
It supersedes the care.
Driving the flesh to merge this urge.
It's come to killing.
The reckless ones who need fulfilling.
Anything for a laugh,
Laugh.
A senseless murder.
You meant to love but found you hurt her.
Only in death will she forget.
Doesn't matter much.
Everyone is out of touch.
And no one wants to learn.
What I'm talking about is a city full of fear and doubt
And I'd like to see it burn.
She moves his hand.
He has a larger plan.
He thinks she'll like it in the end,
The end.
It was the screaming.
A part of her got too close.
The kind of truth that hurts the most.
I understand it.
A drowning man grabs all he can.
Just tell it to her friend,
Friend.
Hunger moves us.
It makes us kill and then it soothes us.
Some call it a right.
VERSE(1):
Birth date. da-da dash, da-da dash
Now, Now, what do I do with what I have found?
Questions. Life's quintessential quest sends
your five senses through a sensational tests (count 'em)
to see if you can feel whats real, and once it's felt
you'll savor the taste and smell (you heard?)
your nerves begin tingling, your heart beats
are reaching for life's meaning while arteries rush
a flood of blood through the right course
giving you life force, this is a gift from life's source
daily, with each second deep breaths and
your feet step in every direction.
The search begins, as your work agains the clock
the Earth again is shocked by another bad creation
I cried too, at birth, at first, but after that
learned that I yearned for purpose
the way my circuits were wired, deep in side of me gave me fire
and something that i can work with
wanting 100 percent of my personality to ugently seize reality
ready to burst if energy i burned with
was just a tease never to be released
This makes you wonder and wander over yonder
if you'll ever find out
HOOK:
What drives you, what makes you feel alive
You thrive on the desires inside you
Strive to arrive on time due to life's design
while your minds trying to find
Repeat HOOK
VERSE(2):
As you learn to walk
you march to the rhythm of your own heart's drum
becoming the best you, bar none
far from the next man, check your hands for fingerprints
This is just one of the many things that distinguishes you
tuned to your own frequencies with
idiosyncrasis and secret keys to your kingdom
or castle, the hassle and strife that life brings
gets balanced out by good times or nice things
The frightening tight strings of life start to loosen
allowing your kite to fly high like with true friends
It's stupendous, the rainbow of emotion you feel
everythingfrom pain and love, hope and more
opportunities, open doors, open your mind
to find what you're hoping for
is it around the corner?
Waiting to be seen
destiny or success to some degree seems
like this would satisfy that endless appetite inside
For which you sacrifice it all
It calls you answer but it always sends you back for more
'cause you never give it what it's asking for
(You ever notice that it always sends you
back for more 'cause never give it what it's asking for?)
HOOK
VERSE(3):
As sweet as life is, it's just as short
and it seems like time is up just as your
starting to get the hang of the language of love
and things can never remain the way that it was
We long for timelessness maybe if our accomplishments
ever delivered what they promised if
life's pleasures were everlasting then i'm admittin'
this might bring God some competition
But everything is short-lived
foget about fortune fogive the sportsmen and
the actor, slash rapper, entertainer
for making us think that money can sustain us
They're things in life that money can buy
For everything else and empty shelf inside
Ask the rich man, "Right or Left?"
With which hand do you carry your treasures to the life after death
And if he has an answer I'll man up and
Stand up in Time Square wearing a pink pamper
If a pink panther can follow clues and solve cases
then I know that you can all trace this
everything from family to employment
Is all givento us for our enjoyment
but our job is to find life and define life
without going outside of our God
This drives you, each day that you survive through
life is designed to guide you to Him from day one
With each step your come closer to or further away from
Weathered sign on the marquee
An old film playin' at the show
He could tell by the clouds up top
Old northern was about to blow
So he hopped in his pick-up truck
Steered it on down the road
There he picked up his dark-haired beauty
Drove on down nice and slow, singin'
This is my girl
This is my world
This is my girl
This is my world
Lovers? tune on the stereo
Cool breeze blowin? through her hair
He whispers to her soft and low
And quietly she stares
He says, "I know, I could be a movie star"
I know that you could be my wife
I was thinkin' at work today
I wanna leave with you tonight, because
You are my girl
You are my world
You are my girl
You are my world
They drive on past midnight
Wishin' on stars as they go
Two young believers
Too young to know
Like a man in a story book
He takes off down the open road
Takin' off to God knows where
He?s takin' off just to go, singin'
This is my girl
This is my world
This is my girl
This is my world
This is my girl
This is my world
This is my girl
Empty your own head.
River of the world.
No one would oppose.
None'll harm you.
So you wish to leave it all behind.
See it from the start.
Again shine.
Never felt so untrue about you.
In reality you'll see innocence.
Trampled in the dirt.
With harmful intent I butchered your face.
Waiting to see disgrace.
Get away.
Get away from me.
Never seem to get me anywhere.
But right here.
Praying makes no sense.
Now I'm to deal with me.
The easy part is taking yourself inside.
But somehow I'm driven to feel.
Unqualified.
Now I'm to bow down.
The way.
To control all fear.
To be free of all confusion and furthermore.
Is to live in the land of the void.
Into the light.
Empty the boat.
Quemando la turbina te escapas
vas a volver a herirme otra vez?
en tu ternura esta acechándome
una buena traición de mujer
que hecha hielo y brasas en mi corazón
(fumando en la oscuridad)
Sobrio no te puedo ni hablar
estoy perdido sin mi estupidez
un auto guapo va a venir por vos
y nada va a cambiar
vas a vivir
en le delta en un lanchón
buscando de que reír
Le das la copa al fin, vencedor
tarea fina, perdida en mi soledad
no se si no me gusta mas que el rock
(nunca lo vi llorar)
si no va sin freno no anda bien
ni me encadena a su show
Con las piernas mas bonitas
las mas lindas piernas que vi
y un juego rico de amores
caída libre para dos
I like the way you move
Oh, it's just so sexy baby
I like the way you grind my gears
Just kinda wrecks me baby
Tell you the truth I like the way you move
I like the, I love the, I like the way you feel
When you're riding beside me, baby
I like the way you grab my wheel
And just kinda guide me baby
I tell you the truth I really like your moves
When she turns my radio on
I know it won't be long
Then she straddles the drivers seat
And she and she and she, she'll roll right outta me
She says roll me up and down this highway, baby
She was born to ride high like a rolling stone, oh yeah
She wants it a little faster, so baby if you ask her
She said take me on that highway outta here
Play guitar now
Oh, I like the way you move
Oh, I like the thing you do
She'd say roll me up and down this highway, baby
She was born to ride high like a rolling stone, oh yeah
'Cause when she's in my car, she's my superstar
My girl looks so fine, I tell her true
Where were you
I thought that I knew
What could I do
Life seems to stand still in time
As the soul retires, deaf, dumb and blind
And all we feel
If far from real
As these gears which, once, had driven us
Lie still and frozen
Innocence has long grown old
As idle hearts have long grown cold
Right or wrong
We go along
Lame and tired
The will to try
Deep down inside all of us
Lies dying
It's easy
Not to see
What this should be
Wind this spring and watch it grow
Stand back and watch as it explodes
And all unfolds
As all we hold,
Wound tightly, carefully, silently
Unravels
Idle hands have lost their hold
As idle minds think what they're told
Right or wrong
We go along
Lame and tired
The will to try
Deep down inside all of us
Lies dying
It's easy
Not to see
What this could be
Right or wrong
We go along
Lame and tired
The will to try
Deep down inside all of us
Lies dying
It's easy
Not to see
Somewhere, back in the good old days
I missed the last train home
Mastered more than a million ways
To turn my soul to stone
I have taken love, I have taken trust
Given little in return
I have held a match to my careless dreams
Stood and watched them burn
Drive on, drive on
Don't look back, drive on
Drive on, drive on
Don't look back, drive on
You can walk this world in a long straight line
Never taste the tears
You can let the thrill of just one more lie
Chase you through the years
And on that final day, when they lay you down
What will you have to show?
Will there be someone there to say goodbye
When it's time to go?
Drive on, drive on
Don't look back, drive on
Drive on, drive on
Don't look back, drive on
On that final day, when they lay you down
What will you have to show?
Will there be someone there to say goodbye
When it's time to go?
Drive on, drive on
Don't look back, drive on
Drive on, drive on
Don't look back, drive on
Drive on, drive on
Don't look back, drive on
Drive on, drive on
Couldn't find a girl
Couldn't start a fight
Wound up at the drive-in
On a Saturday night
Not enough money for the boys to get drunk
Had to flip a coin
To see who'd hide in the trunk
Spend all week listening to the teacher
Wind up at a sex romp double feature
Don't seem fair, don't seem right
Stuck at the drive-in on a Saturday night
Well me and the boys gonna try our hand
Picking up girls at the concession stand
Hey there pretty baby, by the popcorn stand
You're prettier than the actress on the 50 foot screen
Me and the boys traveled far
Some "OFF" and blankets back at the car
Your mommy ain't here
So it's all right
Stuck at the drive-in on a Saturday night!
Well me and the boys done all right so far
Some cuties and french fries back at the car
The lights went off and the movie came on
It was "The Naked Nurses that Ate Saigon"
Sherri called it dirty
Mary called it porn
But when it broke in the middle,
They honked the horn
During intermission, we turned it down low,
And danced on the hood to the radio
Second feature started
We were long gone
Took 'em home, said, "good-night
The raven's my totem; my brother
He is me; I am him
Watching this innocent world
Grow increasingly grim
The raven's the sign you'll see
When darkness is near
Rooted deep in your heart
Your primeval fear
A black garment suits a black soul
Avoided since days of old
There flies the raven
I am the dark spirit inside yourself
You dare not name
I am the lunatic you need
To know you're still sane
My ancestors long ago
Served the one-eyed lord
So today, a jester of darkness
I see and report
A black garment suits a black soul
Hate not the darkness
It lets you see the light you hold
There flies the raven
Gloomweaver eternal
Children of the light: Scorn me not
Be content you're not me
Be content you're not me
From old they have feared him
(There flies the raven)
Never dared to be near him
(There flies the raven)
The darkwinged omen:
Who will live, who will die
You better beware
When you hear the raven cry
Anne wakes up every morning about six o clock
Thinks about her family, Anne won't talk
Tried to reason with me slowly
Morning's not my time
Must have seen me feelin' lonely
To win my line
You will find me Right inside she
Chorus
The way she shines is born to be
The way she smiles is home to me
She's one to see, you must believe
The way she shines is home to me
Anne loves to hear the ocean, one thing I know
Likes to think about her Daisy and move real slow
Never talks about herself much, sewn up tight
Wants to get a straight answer, and roll on by
You will find me Right inside she
The sun is trying to come out, the sun
Everything happens for all the right reasons
The weight of the world, carry the world in your heart
Anne sleeps with all the angels and rides the tide
She always keeps her hands on, right by side
You will find me Right inside she
The deformed wings, the deadly eyes,
his precious head, it has a price.
The bird has a mission here, don't loose your faith.
It will be there.
Feel he's coming to take your soul,
don't you come near him, you won't get old.
And the raven came out from the woods.
For his survival he'll take your blood.
His presence here must be known.
Your veins burn but it's freezing cold.
When his beak breaks through your skin
then you're lost, you can't win.
The salivary secretion he spits in your arm,
takes away your feeling and makes you warm.
And the raven came out from the woods.
For his survival he'll take your blood.
Now draw your bow to destroy him and wipe him away.
Fight for your life and don't make him stay.
It's your decision not to invite him in.
Find another playmate.
i try to fill the hole in my soul
always wanting more
to regain control is what i live for
i try to break through to the other side
driven by my pride
i'll never give up
i always strive to be alive
try to make life stick
on the hook, always look
for the final kick
always seek the final peak
the final page of the book
i want it all
i'll never give up
got to break on through
(G. Feldhausen)
When the raven's in the sky
Black wings let him fly
The raven brought the pain
And many of us will die
In the fear of death
There's nothing left to regret
In the dawn we have to fight, yeah
And the rats come out at night
A cry in the still of the night
Will we ever see the light
I say free us from our chains
We are the broken men
When the raven brought the pain
Like a fallen angel always on the run
One hand for the Bible the other slings the gun
The priest blessed you he's calling us to pray
We'll follow the raven on his bloody way
We're riding down the hill battle's raging high
In the sign of the cross we're all gonna die
The reaper comes to sing his deadly song
That's the fate where we all belong
A cry in the still of the night
Will we ever see the light
I say free us from our chains
We are the broken men
When the raven brought the pain, oh yeah
Break the iron chains
Will you free us from the pain
We are the broken men
When the raven brought the pain
When the raven brought the pain, oh yeah
Break the iron chains
Will you free us from the pain
We are the broken men
When the raven brought the pain
In the night
Someday I will dive me in. Someday I will take a spin.
Someday I will make it right. Someday I will stop the fight.
It has been thought, it's been thought
I found a god that can teach. Take me along, once again on
that trip. Bring it on and when I'm gone, bite your lip. Is it to
good to be secure? Maybe I should, I think I should find the
cure. It's been thought before.
I found a god that can teach. Someday you will dive in.
Someday you will dive in. It's been thought before. It's been
ya know i've known you now
known you now for a real long time
and i think it's time to take you
take you out and make you mine
wouldn't it be neat
i can see you now youre looking so sweet
holding your hand in mine
cause two hours is not enough time
so i'm asking you if you'll go with me to the drive-in
we'll park the car
it's just you and me while the film's rolling
so i'm asking you if you'll go with me to the drive in
cause even if the movie sucks we still got eachother while the picture's

See, I can't feel, I can't breath, I am smitten
Even angels with sin if they're driven.
Burned by the sun, on my skin, burnt my fingers,
Curse myself into the wind to hear it whisper.
Now I know I've started something,
Now I know I've started something,
These secrets,
Will tell themselves
Someday
Now I know I've started something.
Sometimes I feel you burn through me,
And I can't move and I can't breath
And all this things will stay with me,
'Till I've lost you.
Now I know I've started something.
One more night gotta drag myself
From depths of a dreamless sleep
Wrench my brain from another realm
Body to a stagger on it's own two feet
Under ten minutes cut it to the wire
Blood pumping back in my veins
Senses back engine on
Fight out in the lanes
Drive on - gotta push it past the limit
No I'm too far gone
Drive on fast enough to kill you
Will I ever see it done
Metro cup on his way to the hole
Driving by doing 105
Black in the back hands cuffed tight
Stark silhouette hard orange light
45 minutes - 45 miles
All the same you see
White lines racing by so many miles
Going down - Lord help me
Drive on - pushing past the limit
No I'm too far gone
Drive on - fast enough to kill you
Will I ever make it home
All the days turn into nights
The nights turn into days
Alltogether out of phase
Every single night a danger
Every single night another try
Taking my time and chances
Forever ask why
Drive on - pushing past the limit
No I'm too far gone
Drive on - fast enough to kill you
Will I ever make it home
Get in the car and let's go
We're meeting some
Wild young girls we know
The four tops are playing
And we got some weed
And there's a pretty little blonde barely past eighteen
With hips that are shaking
Right in time
And they're waiting one mile past
The county line
We got one more mile
Drive On
So now we're burning through the
Country like a runaway train
Matt's popping pills
And a gator's doing cocaine
Six pack of jax up on my dash
I can't see straight
And i don't look back
Staring at the stars
And drinking cherry wine
I said have a little love brother
Cut me a line
Better get ready
Vine Vine Vine
Jesus is the true Vine
Vine Vine Vine
God is the husbandman
Gonna abide in the vine
Gonna gonna gonna abide
I'm gonna abide
I sit here all alone, watch the sun go down, leaving fiery ranges
My soul is set aflame, the daily fight is on, still pain ain't gone
A thriving land is what I see
No virgin wilderness could be
A home to us, some fertile ground is all we're asking for
We give our pain, twice our blood
One with the soil, one with the gods
Strongest faith is needed here, so fail the weak
Work to live. Another tear, another bleeding
Every day another price to pay. I pay and bleed
Therefore I consider leaving. But this land forces me to stay
Creating
The land has changed, the tribe has too
It's new gained wealth means loss of faith
That formed life, that was a guide to generations
Although the mountains still stand strong
The threat is here, it's been too long
We haven't thought this land could wither, could wither slowly
Work to live. Another tear, another bleeding
Every day another price to pay. I pay and bleed
Therefore I consider leaving. But this land forces me to stay
Creating
Creating thriven land
Nothing will be the same, can we rebuild this land again
Creating thriven land
Shining like a star, shining bright so far...
Work to live.
Another tear, another bleeding Every day another price to pay.
I pay and bleed. Therefore I consider leaving.
But this land forces me to stay. Infinite greed
Another heart, a different beating. That left the anguish of the past behind
Beloved lands. Now upon them vultures feeding
Not even one worth to be elder's heir
In the car on the way to the city
In the morning it was foggy on the windscreen
We talked about the day ahead
And shouldn't we just run away instead
We started to believe our dreams
And I just kept driving right past the exit
Throwing our cellphones out of the window
Yelling at the city goodbye we won't miss you
I knew now that our life's on track
As I felt the strength down in my bones come back
You smile at me and I at you
Cause this is all we ever wanted to do
So to the South now with our hearts alive
And our heads free of worry that our lives provide
Off far in the distance almost out of sight
Goodbye to city days so long to city nights
So believing every word we say
I drove on until the break of day
My smile stretched from my ears to yours
There's nothing a bit of fresh breeze won't cure
Go on, you said
Drive on, you said
I have had a dream
of me walking backwards
I watched him take my place
between her legs
Burn baby, burn
Go stay in the tall grass
Whisper my name
The first letter is M
Next up is the end
A true lover is not tied to the bedpost
So if you leave now, leave fast
and don't turn around
Pack all your bags with your belongings
There's a truth here to be told
But there ain't no love
There ain't no love
There ain't no love
Warm city lights and body power
Taken for a drive on the asphalt tonight
Yearn baby, yearn
Go stay in the tall grass
Pour sand across my chest
I fell for you
Goddamn, I miss you
Damn, I miss you
I miss you
Goddamn, I miss you
I do
This is the beach where we once slept
This is the house where we both wept
This is the leg that I once broke
These are my hands and them letting go
This is the truth
No more shall we lie
I gave you my heart
Now we say goodbye
But Lord, I can see a new sun is rising
Hold on my love
The Ravine
I didn't understand, so rare your smile
I thought you'd never say
I'll meet you after dark
Someday, finally
Any old time, saving my mistakes
A did you say
I thought you'd never go
I hope I got enough to give
Finally
I seen it all before
My only change today
The storm is on its way
A kiss behind the door
I couldn't understand
What storm
I'm bound to never know
So far past yesterday
Finally
Any old time
Saving my mistakes
About to share
I thought you'd never go
I hope I've got enough to give
Finally
I seen it all before
My only chance today
A kiss behind the door
I seen it all before
Driven away by you again
but it won't change the way
your smile ignites my will
you got to know that I will send the arrow soon
cause its just how its got to be
i'm driven for you
and i'll be waiting on your 4 by 4
to stop at the red light
my waters are clean
so your windows will sparkle in the sunlight
but i'm driven away by you again
yes i'm driven away by you again
something about your ruggedness
has got me thinking of a moonlit road to bliss
you got to know that I will send the arrow soon
cause its just how its got to be
i'm driven for you
and i'll be waiting on your 4 by 4
to stop at the red light
my waters are clean
so your windows will sparkle in the sunlight
but i'm driven away by you again
yes i'm driven away by you again
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, tapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in a bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
Presently to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-
Merely this, and nothing more."
Out into the darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"-
Merely this, and nothing more.
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
"Surely," said I, "surely that is someone at my window lattice:
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore-
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore,
'Tis the wind and nothing more."
Open wide I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door-
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door-
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Soon that ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering on the Nightly shore-
Tell me what thy lordly name is on this Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Now the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered- not a feather then he fluttered-
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "other friends have gone before-
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Then methought the air grew denser, perfumed by an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor.
Once more on the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore-
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."
"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or devil!-
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert isle enchanted-
On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore-
Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil- prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven stretched above us- by that God we both adore-
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
"Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend," I shrieked, upstarting-
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!- quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Now the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Annie wakes up every morning about six o'clock
Thinks about her family, Annie won't talk
Tried to reason with me slowly, morning's not my time
Must have seen me feelin' lonely towin' my line yeah
You will find me right inside, she yes

The way she smiles is home to me
She's one to see, oh you must believe

He likes to think about her daisy and move real slow
Never talks about herself much, sewn up tight
Wants to get a straight answer, roll on by now
You will find me right inside, she yeah
The way she shines is born to be
The way she smiles is home to me
She's one to see, oh you must believe
The way she shines is home to me

Everything happens for all the right reasons
The weight of the world, carry the world in your heart

She always keeps her hands on me, right by my side yeah
You will find me right inside, she yeah
The way she shines is born to be
The way she smiles is home to me
She's one to see, oh you must believe
The way she shines is home to me
[Verse 1 ]
She used to hang around the corner

[Slim Burna speaking]
Aaw! It's your boy Slim Burna
There’s a little toy standing in the corner shop
And he’s trying to believe
He’s been dreaming at night of the perfect child
But then no one came for him
He was so close to crying
He was so close to giving in again
There’s a little toy standing in the corner shop
And he’s trying hard to breathe
Staring outside at a world gone by thinking
What am I to be?
He was so close to crying
He was so close to feeling something
Tell me why does my little heart wanna try
But the tears don’t seem to come
I really don’t have the will to carry on
Just when I see my own reflection
I hate what I’ve become
Father what have I done wrong?
There’s a little toy standing in the corner shop
And he’s trying to be seen
He wonders if there’s heaven out there for him,
Old play thing
He was so close to trying
He was so close to feeling nothing
Tell me why does my little heart wanna try
But the tears don’t seem to come
I really don’t have the will to carry on
Just when I see my own reflection
I hate what I’ve become
Father what have I done wrong?
What if we die?
What do we remember?
What if we died?
Would it be better?
I’m lost without you
I’m lost without you
I’m lost without you
Tell me why
I've been roaming about the streets of New York City
I've been strolling down the beaches of South France
I've been to the desert, I've been to Scandinavia
Some have it all but don't see what they're given
Some always lose but still they keep on trying
I wish that I could have that gift of feeling happy
Even if inside you really feel like crying
God knows I've tried hard to forgive her
God knows I've tried hard to forget her
God knows I've loved, God knows I've given
God knows I'm mad, God knows I'm driven
I tried to hide away in lonely places
Tried to disappear in crowded city streets
I've been seeking comfort in too many cold embraces
Some still feel the warmth upon their skin
Long after the sun's already gone
I wish that I could have that gift of feeling rich
Even if you hardly have enough to get along
God knows I've tried hard to forgive her
God knows I've tried hard to forget her
God knows I've loved, God knows I've given
God knows I'm mad, God knows I'm driven
Wherever I've been going to
Trying to escape from you
You've been there
Don't you worry about a thing I'm gonna get you the diamond ring I will take you to Rhino on the 4th of July Yeah, I will
If I had just another wish I would take a bit more of this Baby I'm high on you we're gonna Drive on
