20 days, and 20 nights
Just the silence, and the neon lights
Hungry for, the sight of you
Yeah I'm starving, in this empty room
Who is she, what's her name?
Yeah talk to me, say something
[Chorus 1]
I don't want my old records back
My Ozzy t-shirt, or my Yankees cap
All I wanted, was to talk to you
Say something - say something
I'm not fine, I'm not o.k.
Cause I'm still, the one you threw away
I'm not your tramp, I'm not your friend
And there ain't no going back again
She don't love you, like I do
Yeah what the hell, is wrong with you?
[Chorus 2]
I don't want my old records back
My Ozzy t-shirt, or my Yankees cap
All I wanted, was to talk to you
Say something - say something
Keep the pictures, of the happier days
I can't stand, to watch them anyways
All I wanted, was to talk to you
Say something - say something
(Say something, say something, say something)
(Say something, say something)
(Say something) say something, all right
She'll never love you, like I do
I just wanted, to talk to you
[Chorus 2]
I don't want my old records back
My Ozzy t-shirt, or my Yankees cap
All I wanted, was to talk to you
Say something - say something
Keep the pictures, of the happier days
I can't stand, to watch them anyways
All I wanted, was to talk to you
Say something - say something
Say something (say something)
Say something (say something)
Say something (say something)
Calling California,
Is there anybody home.
Hello California,
Would you please pick up the phone.
I wanna say I love you,
but I'm a milion miles away.
I am thinking of you,
I miss you and LA.
[chorus]
For you and you alone,
I'll lay my monsters down.
We'll watch the sun come up over California
For you and you alone,
I'll find my way back home.
I love you like the sun loves California,
My California..
I have made you suffer,
Left you waiting in the rain.
While I was chasing demons
Through the desserts of my pain.
But you know me better than the
poison in my vains,
So my love remember when
God forgets my name.
[chorus]
I wanna feel the ocean breeze,
And let the waves wash over me.
I'll leave my winters in the sand
Hey California..
Mother may i, I would say
Yes sweet baby take it away
It won't be long
Just remember that
Powerful is the woman in you
Stay true
& she'd come to me
When fire & water was gone
To caress the empty with a song
Saying why cry for anger
That bullets the sky
Just remember
I'll remember & mama
I'll get by
I know my face
Seems crazed & wild
But I got her eyes
A mama's child am i
She's blessed with grace
& is smooth as a line
& when I shade
She helps me shine
& she comes to me
When there's nothing
I believe & holds me so high
Yes I am free
Saying why hold the anger
It won't let you fly
Just remember
I'll remember
& mama mama I'll get by
Confused by my own illusions
She said that it's only my pride
& even the simplest solutions
Still won't heal my mind
So I'll remember
I'll remember
There is a light
That shimmers like a diamond
In the night
A fire that is powerful & strong
& I call it home
Here in the dark
Where I dream myself to sleep
I feel my heart
As timeless
As the carving on the stone
& yes it's home
Miracles happening every day
Millions of people
Are dying to get away
'cause the sky is falling
The angels are callin'
But I have no fear
Yes the sky is falling
The angels are callin' me
Yes I can hear
That the sky is falling
Opening up
I stretch my arms so wide
I feel my love
It's fallin' right out of the sky
& home
Yes I call it home
It's on the good side
She combs her hair & cleans her face
Closes the door & kneels to pray
It don't matter that she's alone
Beast or dragons she's going home
If I lay me down
Bow my head unto the ground
Would you heal my skin
& these blisters within my skin
She found today
So hard to say
I sweat the sheets
Too tired to play
& it don't matter
Cause I'm still alive
Beast or dragons
Won't make me hide
Another way
I just cant find the words to say
Cold where I lay
It's cold where I lay
Bones cracked to clay
A killer's in the way
Hot is my shame
Fire pulls my veins
For never is my name
Forever in my shame
Holy come heal me
Your loves like a ciggarette,
burning on my breath tonight.
Your love leaves no promises for the emptiness inside
And I know that I should leave, but
I know I'm gonna stay, cuz no good
man I ever known has made me hurt this way.
[chorus]
But everybody wants somebody,
somebody good to love.
I just want anybody,
Bad love is good enough.
Your bad love is good enough.
Your love's got no sympothy,
when you talk to me that way.
Your love's like a heartattack,
like a slap across the face.
and I know that I should leave, but
I know I'm gonna stay.
No good man I ever known,
has made me love this way.
[chorus]
I wish I could hate you,
Baby I wish I could,
I wish I could..
God bless this,
God bless that.
God I'll miss you now.
All the people left,
when the blue sky crashed
and I can't do this alone.
I am scared to change,
To stay the same,
When I'm calling out your name..
[chorus]
Take it easy on me,
Take it easy on me,
I will trust you,
I will let you hurt me carefully.
Take it easy on me,
I break easily and
this steal butterfly will learn to fly
eventually..
God take it easy on me.
When I talk like that,
When I tear me apart.
When I raise my voice,
I break my heart.
But if I gave it up,
let the wall come down,
Would you take my hand?
Would you show me how?
I don't know my place,
I don't know my own face,
Just the lines I can't erase.
[chorus]
No, I was never one to lean on.
Fighting this war against the wind.
When I find ground to rest my feet on.
I will lay my weapons down..
Summer's gone
days passing by again
chill rushes in sin
come take me away my friend
I don't wanna take too long
grab my summer smile and I'll be along
'cause we're gonna
ride, ride, ride
through the valley
roll, roll, roll
in the fields, I swear
fly, fly, fly
with the deepest part of our hearts
are you ready to start
let's get the hell outta here
hell on outta here
and if I get lonely
if I get thirsty for the sun
I'll roll down my window
I can feel the road, she's my only one
I ain't gonna waste my time, no way
get me outta here and I'll bring the wine
'cause we're gonna
ride, ride, ride
through the valley
roll, roll, roll
in the fields, I swear
fly, fly, fly
with the deepest part of our hearts
are you ready to start
let's get the hell outta here
hell on outta here
summer's gone
So suddenly it rolls by again
Soft as a breeze & light as the wind
don't say good-bye & don't dry these tears
if I could fly we'd fly away from here
So don't let go
just come along now
Just say so
It won't be long now
It's all right this ain't no lie
It's right on time
Petals of rose I touch your hair
Heaven knows I love you here
Beautiful smile covets the time
I feel so fine I feel so fine
On my way
Come along &
Stay
When I was young just a little girl
I'd sing to the sun & dream with the world
Now I got a suitcase full of memories
If I could show you
maybe you'd stay with me
So don't let go
just come along now
Just say
so It won't be long now
It's all right
this ain't no lie
i can't tell between the two
it's all the same to me
too late, too far behind
i can't tell what's on your mind
life's a state of mind
gimme gimme time
gimme gimme time
as i lie beneath the sky
and with every passing fear
i speak to fireflies
my sorrow disappears
colors in my tears
change thought out the years
oh gimme time
gimme gimme time
oh gimme time
la la la yi la
no lesson here
no lesson
i speak to fireflies
and with every passing fear
as i lie beneath the sky
my sorrow disappears
slowly disappears
colors in my tears
gimme gimme time
oh give me time
oh give me time
what's that you say
gonna sleep all day
you're so uptight
got no sleep last night
so tired, been wired
gone crazy, so lazy
you say, I've been awake so long
my feet are 'bout to fumble
and I like how I feel
I've been wake so long my knees begin to tremble
don't turn out the light
I've been wake so long barely holding on
don't turn out the light
spiders in your bed
what's that you said
can't rest here
smoke the little ones
desperate fear
a cheap thrill, sleeping pill
go get your gun
you say, I've been wake so long
my feet are bout to fumble
I've been wake so long barely holding on
I've been wake so long my knees begin to tremble
spiders in my bed
and I like how I feel
spiders in my bed
spiders in my bed
yes, that's what I said
Why do you carry a pocket of stone?
Still searching for shelter in your own restless thoughts
Body and mind are tired of the load
Believing in anything still you are lost
Longing to share a sky full of clover
I will be there just look over your shoulder baby
People in clover are holding up their hands
Come to the grass where the orchids run wild
See how they're laughing a land full of smile
Praising the holy one the wiser of man
I will be there jut look over your shoulder baby
Longing to share a sky full of clover
I'm not trying to tell ya what I think ya need to know
I'm still trying to figure out my own
I'm not trying to make no contradiction
I'm not trying to make you go my way
Said I'm gonna be there
Raise me then lay me down and humble my soul
So now you say to me do I still have time to live out these
Precious dreams that swell up my mind?
Wash me in patience I'll be whiter than snow
behind the church and down the hill
under the cross where time's stnading still
paying dues for your troubled mind
trying to lose what you dought to find
sooner or later you're gonna hear a sound
picks you back off the ground
that holds you and lifts you
open your eyes and close your back door
there is a sign on top of your shoulder
telling
shake them down
shake them down
shake them down, yeah
break it down
break it down
hey old man thanks for coming around
break it down, yeah
dedl dum dedl day em day
be still for the peace to be found
run, run, run
sooner or later you're gonna hear a sound
that holds you and lifts you
dedl dum dedl dem dum em day
picks you back off the ground
open your eyes and close your back door
there is a sign on top of your shoulder
shake them down
telling
shake them down
shake them down, yeah
hey old man thanks for coming around
break it down
break it down
break it down, yeah
be still for the peace to be found
countless voices calling
myths and legends ending
in your mind
fears are answering the pain
moving 'round again
moving 'round again
moving 'round
moving 'round
moving 'round again
Rollin' out of bed a little heavy
sickened from the deadness in my head
beggin' for a break I'm tired of trippin'
sounds loud enough to wake the dead
hear 'em ringing on ringing ringing on
as if it's not enough
from the dusk till dawn
they keep ringing on
stumble to the mr. coffee maker
sip a little joe and lift me off
shakin' from the screams of hurry hurry
smackin on the prime I'm way behind
feel me ringing on yes I'm tingling on
as if it's not enough
sift the dusk till dawn and I'll be
ringing on
rollin' into bed a little heavy
bounded by the sound that blows my mind
sister cryin' bleeding worry worries
mother mary god she sends her sign
hear her ringing on yes she's singing on
I'll give her all my love
all are dreaming on in her black rust song
ringing ringing on ringing ringing on
all are dreaming on
Oh God save me for I am wicked and damned
'Cause I I can't take it no I can't shake it no I can't break it no
Oh God show me a better way to the Promised Land
Don't wanna eat it no more I cannot hide it
I can't take it I can't shake shake shake shake
I'm uninvited I can't fake it no I can't shake it
Shake that 'ol monkey off my back
Gimme my money back slip through your crack
Oh God know me I'm just dirty footprints at your door
Gimme my money back sit back
Oh God hold me from one more trip and liquor store
Shake that 'ol monkey off my back
'Cause I I can't take it and I can't shake shake shake shake
Gimme my money sit back
Gimme my money back slip through your crack
Slip through your crack an' get back
Gimme my money back
I'm not praying for a miracle just a little peace of mind
Still I am not my name God wouldn't save me,
And if what I do is all in vain as I'm screamin' goin' insane
So now it's me and my rotten friends
Coffee on the floor,
Listen to the water boil.
Screaming on the phone,
Trying to make somebody call.
Jumping off the roof,
Maybe I'll survive again.
Staring at the sun,
Waiting for the world to end..
[chorus]
Oh...Love is the hardest
Oh...Love is a mess
I know it's all my fault
I just don't love anymore, anymore.
The devil's on the pourch,
Drinking with the radio.
Angel at the door,
I don't let her in no more.
If I had a chance,
Maybe I'd forgive myself and
If I had a heart,
I'd give it to somebody else.
[chorus]
I could say I'm sorry, but
My heart don't feel a thing.
Love an ugly story
it's the hardest thing
[chorus]
She's got her lover's soul
Her extremities
She lost her radio
She's got her memories
She's driving much too fast
She wants to make it last
She wrote a song for you
She calls it black and blue
Ain't no way to live at all
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
Just ain't no way darlin' to live at all
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
She knows she's second-rate
She wonders if you'll stay
She's sick of being late
She's crawling back again
And love her anyway
It's such a bitter end
She knows she don't belong
She screams a children's song
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
Ain't no way to live at all
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
Just ain't no way, darlin' to live at all
And the sun don't shine my way
And the moon don't make me dance
If you're listening, hear me pray
I'd give my hands for just a second chance
My plea is not in vain
She lost her lover's soul
She lost her radio
Her extremities
She's got her memories
Just let that bad man go
She's sweating in the snow
Don't call, the truth ain't home
No one to call her own
I seen myself with a dirty face
I cut my luck with a dirty ace
I leave the light on
I leave the light on
I went from zero to minus ten
I drank your wine then I stole your man
I leave the light on
I leave that light on
Daddy ain't that bad he just plays rough
I ain't that scarred when I'm covered up
I leave the light on
I leave the light on
Little girl hiding underneath the bed
Was it something I did
Must be something I said
I leave the light on, I better leave the light on
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
I don't know much about it
And I never did
17 and I'm all messed up inside
I cut myself just to feel alive
I leave the light on
I leave the light on
21 on the run, on the run, on the run
From myself, from myself and everyone
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
Better leave the light on
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
I don't know much about it
And I never did
I don't know what to do
Can the damage be undone
I swore to God that I'd never be
What I've become
Lucky stars and fairy tales
I'm gonna bathe myself in a wishin' well
Pretty scars from cigarettes
I never will forget, I never will forget
I'm still afraid to be alone
Wish that moon would follow me home
I leave the light on
I leave that light on
I ain't that bad
I'm just messed up
I ain't that sad
But I'm sad enough
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
I don't know much about it
And I never did
I don't know what to do
Can the damage be undone
I swore to God that I'd never be
What I've become
I leave the light, I leave the light
I leave the light on
God bless the child with the dirty face
Who cuts her luck with a dirty ace
She leaves the light on
If I whisper my thoughts, would you hear the chanting of my heart?
Phrasing melodies unsung in the dark.
Saying hold me through the night.
Hear the music from my room, calling out to you.
Come home to me soon.
Shadows bellowing duets with the moon, singing hold me through the night.
hold me through the night, hold me through the night.
And the water drop in the drain, just like the sound it makes You're coming round again.
I got my wine and cigarettes
Don't bother me, I'm trying to swim
These twenty cents is all I got left
I guess I'll lay around all day
Sit back and smile just fade away.
A drunk yard dog is what I am
Break out the bottle of Jesus
Plug in the black light rosary
Somebody's waiting to save me
I think I'll send around some pie
I know my neighbors wish I'd die
I'm much too loud when I get high
It'll numb their lips
I'll spike that dish with a touch of herb
And soothe their nerves
I'll build my kingdom on the curb
Break out the bottle of Jesus
Somebody's waiting to save me
Plug in the black light rosary
Be it rain or shine
I'll get high like summertime.
It's an All-Americana party time
I don't listen to rules or Gospel
I'll kick that bastard like a can
Tell that landlord man
It's an All-Americana party time
They're just trying to shut me up.
Call me the master of "ole misfortune
A weasel a weaselin' away.
I keep my head on straight
And my eyes wide open
I try to move forward
Wishing and hoping
I took a hold of myself
In the middle of November
Don't you look back now
Is all I can remember
I feel like I'm leaving
Like I'm leaving home
Like he clouds are parting, and I'm not alone
[Chorus 1]
I'm learning to live
Living to learn
Starting to sing my song
Right, or wrong
Breaking away
Setting me free
Free to be, my own me
I'm learning to live
I got my vanity crisis
From my beautiful mother
I'm not gonna go there
I'm anything other
Take another deep breath now
It's just one more hurdle
I'm breaking this line
Before it comes full circle
I feel like I'm leaving
Like I'm leaving home
Like he clouds are parting, and I'm not alone
[Chorus 2]
I'm learning to live
Living to learn
Starting to sing my song
Right, or wrong
Breaking away
Setting me free
Free to be, my own me
I found a place, where I can lay my shit down
Somewhere that I can finally be myself - be myself
[Chorus 2]
I'm learning to live
Living to learn
Starting to sing my song
Right, or wrong
Breaking away
Setting me free
Free to be, my own me
[Chorus 1]
I'm learning to live
(Living to learn)
(Starting to sing my song) living to learn
(Right, or wrong)
I'm breaking away
Setting me free
Free to be, my own me
She hangs around the boulevard
She's a local girl with local scars.
She got home late, she got home late
She drank so hard the bottle ached.
And she tried and she tried, she tried and she tried,
But nothing's clear in a bar full of flies.
So she takes and she takes, she takes and she takes,
She understands when she gives it away,
She says, man I gotta get out of this town
Man I gotta get out of this pain.
Man I gotta get out of this town,
Out of this town, and out of LA.
She's got a gun; she's got a gun,
She got a gun she called the lucky one.
She left a note, by the phone,
Don't leave a message cause this ain't no home.
And she cried and she cried, and she cried and she cried,
She cried so long her tears ran dry.
And she laughed and she laughed, she laughed and she laughed,
Cause she knew she was never comin back.
She said, man I'm gonna get out of this town
Man I'm gonna get out of this pain.
Man I'm gonna get out of this town,
Out of this town, and out of LA.
It's all she loves, Its all she hates,
It's all to much for her to take
She can't be sure, just where it ends,
Or where the good life begins.
So she took a train, she took a train,
To a little old town without a name.
She met a man, he took her in,
But fed her all the same bullshit again.
'Cause he lied and he lied, he lied and he lied,
He lied like a salesman sellin flies.
So she screamed and she screamed, she screamed and she screamed,
It's a different place but the same old thing.
It's all I love, Its all I hate,
It's all to much for me to take
I can't be sure where it begins,
Or if the good life lies within.
She says, man I gotta get out of this town
Now I gotta get back on that train.
Man I gotta get out of this town,
I'm out of my pain, so I'm goin back to L.A.
Back to L.A
Back to L.A
I'm goin back to L.A.
Me and my dog really get along
She don't howl when I'm screamin' my songs
I cuss, I drink, I lie, I spit,
Guess I really don't give a shit
Broken and ugly yes I am
Still I feel good divin' in Mama
I'm runnin' again- odelay
Down in Alabama where I'm wanted in jail
I'm a little nervous in the Bible belt
I'm broke I'm smoked out and passed out on the bar
Then I took all the money and your grandma's car
Broken and ugly yes I am
Still I look good divin' in Mama
I'm runnin' again- Odelay
Do what ya do say what ya say
Don't waste no time on yesterdays
Cash in your ticket to ride
Don't let them talk you into walkin'
Into no one else's shoes
so you think i'm crazy
want to take me away
inject me with electric shock
i'm not going nowhere
hear what i say loud and clear
reveal your sly intentions
and free my isolation
a second longer say it's alright
a second longer say it's alright
a second longer i'll be insane
and what you say
the second i become you
fry electricity
gas me till i pass on out
run your wires through me
weep to ease the tension
with your failed philosophies
and free my isolation
you will not control me
a second longer say it's alright
a second longer i'll be insane
a second longer say it's alright
the second i become you
and what you say
lost my mind today
called me a liar
it was my desire
i told them what was wrong but they
yeah, they called me a liar
why should i care what they say
i am not afraid
they called me a liar
i told them they were wrong still
so i set 'em on fire
Wish me luck give me somethin'
Help me out and I'll go there
Wish me luck give me somethin'
Help me out and I'll go there
All I want is a brand new truck
With one eyed jacks and beginners luck
The doctors script for the perfect drug
Get it all while I can
But I got no money and I got no man
I drive around in a beat up van
I ride on coffee and percodan
Get it all while I can, get it all while I can
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Come on now
So people tell me to clean up my mess
Like I was sweet sixteen in a dirty dress
But I'm wiser now so I must confess
That I get it all while I can, yeah
I get it all while I can
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Somebody told me
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Just make it real and make it last
Someday maybe I'll understand
This crazy old life is in my hands
Someday maybe I'll figure it out
Somebody help me anybody tell me
Wish me luck give me somethin'
Help me out and I'll go there
Wish me luck give me somethin'
Make it real and make it last
[Incomprehensible]
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Somebody told me
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?

God only knew, how much I loved that man
Ain't no words to say, the way I feel
It's like a bad dream, but it's real
It seems like only yesterday
We were talkin', in the most familiar way
Now everybody, knows the way I am
They all see right, through my show
I aimed so high, now I'm so low
(So low)
I'm all dressed up, and I got nowhere to go
God only knew, how I loved that man
I would have died for you, I guess he'll never understand
I loved you right or wrong, it was you all along
Heaven knows that it's true, hard as it's been
I'd do it all over again
(Over and over, and over again)
I say goodbye to dreamin'
(Dreamin')
It's only water, in my hands
Over, and over, and over
And over, and over, and over, and over
And over again
So when you see me, walkin' down that street
Don't ignore me, if I speak
'Cause I knew you better, than anyone else
And I loved you more, than you could ever know yourself
God only knew, how I loved that man
(Why don't you tell me 'bout it)
I would have died for you, and I guess he'll never understand
Loved you right or wrong, it was you all along
Heaven knows that it's true, hard as it's been
(Heaven knows)
I'd do it all over again
Over, and over again
Over, and over again
Over, and over again
Close your eyes and I'll hold you here
It's just the sound of your aching heart
It's all right if you're feelin' scared
You've hurt for so long inside the dark
Now you can cry for the world out there
Loving out loud with only half a heart
Come inside and I'll kiss your tears
It's still the sound tearing you apart
I'll stay with you
I'll stay with you
I won't leave you alone
I'll stay with you yes I want to
Make your pain my own
I'm gonna take good care of you
And if you need me all night or until I grow old
No you don't have to ask me to
Yes I'm gonna stay with you
I'll be right at your fingertips
Hold on tight and we'll get through this
Angels are calling from all around
Lifting what's broken comforting what is bound
I am here when it's hard to breathe
Now you can rest in your time of need
Happiness is leaning on my shoulder
like a ciggarette, burning me all over
It is killing me, slipping through the cracks of my
sweet misery, Sunday morning stories of you
is always all about you.
Happiness is crying in the kitchen drinking
like a friend and all my ugly wishes, it is
listening while I'm chocking on my pride and all the
songs I scream, Sunday morning stories of you
is always all about..
[chorus]
Happiness is laughing at me like a clown.
Watching my Nervana crashing to the ground.
In the middle of the perfect nervous breakdown.
Happiness, any day now.
Loneliness is hiding with the lonely falling
gratefullness while polishing his trophy she was
beautiful but beautiful don't matter after
wonderful sunday morning stories like these
are always all about..
[chorus]
Running, always running, always falling
on my, falling on my face!
I love you and all that you do
I need you to see me through
I want you and I say
Oh and god bless you
She told me you're going away
I said how can I make you stay
�I love you and I say
Oh and god bless you
If I call out your name
could you hear me calling
if I said that it's wrong
would you say I'm falling
if I told you the truth would you
stay
say ya say ya
I love you and all that you do
I need you to see me through
I want you and I say
oh and god bless you
I could wait a lifetime to see
the sunrise but I would never
wait so long to see you all right
and make you knay won't you just
stay
Silver blue hair & a cane in her hand
living to die in the promised land
handing out flyers for the coming of Christ
she says raise from the fire for eternal life
or they'll
take your mind & they'll strip your faith
& they'll starve you with nothin' that you already ate
& they'll compliment just to break you down
Spin you in circles runnin' round & round
Good Ole People live
Good Ole People
coke bottle glasses & a smile on his face
He stands on the comer screamin' don't mix the race
commanding all the children to confess all their sins
then he beats his wife with a bottle of Gin
& they'll
whip your mind just to strip your faith
counterfeit people comin' to dominate
& they'll get you high just to greet you down
Spin you in circles movin' round & round
Good Ole People live
Good Ole People give
But Good Ole People can't drive
She remembers the day they met
Right down to the minute
Yeah, sitting alone in the dark
Her life was never the same
Staring into the rain
Her life was never (never) the same
She cries
Its a mystery
Ain't nobody seen
How much this is hurting me
It's black magic
It's the season of the Witch
Blame the Moon, oh oh
Blame the Moon, oh oh
Blame the Moon
Blame the Moon
Yeah, its a mystery
How much this is hurting me
Ain't nobody seen
Its the season of the Witch
Its black magic
Blame, blame, blame, blame
Blame the Moon, oh oh
Blame the Moon
Blame the Moon, oh oh
Blame the Moon,
I said blame the moon
Blame the Moon, oh oh
Blame the moon, oh oh
Blame, blame
Headlight watching,
Sick of talking,
Shut your mouth and drive.
Feels like leaving,
there ain't to reason,
we can't still get high.
Roll down the windows,
unlock the door,
Don't care if you love me anymore..
[chorus]
Baby just drive, just drive
Cuz baby tonight,
I don't wanna fight
I just wanna watch you drive,
watch you drive, watch you drive
Got your girlfriends letter,
she ain't no better, but
I'm the only woman tonight and
I'm choking on trouble,
So pass me the bottle.
Shut your mouth and drive..
Roll down the windows,
unlock the door,
Don't care if you love me anymore..
[chorus]
I can keep your secrets
and I'll believe your lies
Anything to keep you one more night
It's all right.
Woke up alone again
Stumbling around this cold hotel room
Yeah, I lost myself again
And my guitar's still out of tune
People tell me things, like I'll never get it
Tell me to give up, tell me to forget it
Save yourself - safe yourself
[Chorus 1]
It's just another crazy kind of day
I wouldn't want it any other way
It's gonna be like
Running to the sun, and back again
I'm never giving up, or giving in
Cause I don't wanna survive - I wanna live
Kiss me good, cause I
Don't know how long, this one's gonna take
I could fail, but I'd
Rather be a fuckup, than a fake
People tell me things, like I'll never get it
Tell me to give up, they tell me to forget it
Save yourself - safe yourself
[Chorus 1]
It's just another crazy kind of day
I wouldn't want it any other way
It's gonna be like
Running to the sun, and back again
I'm never giving up, or giving in
Cause I don't wanna survive - I wanna live
Don't you let up
Keep your head up
Need to get up
No going back again, no going back again, no
I'm not listening
So stop your preaching
And save yourself - safe yourself
It's all I ever wanted⦠ooh
Don't pass me over
I've got old ghosts, of my own
I'm moving out today
Yeah, I finally going home
[Chorus 1]
It's just another crazy kind of day
I wouldn't want it any other way
It's gonna be like
Running to the sun, and back again
I'm never giving up, or giving in
Cause I don't wanna survive
[Chorus 2]
It's just another crazy kind of day (it's just another - crazy day)
I wouldn't want it any other way (I wouldn't want it, I wouldn't want it)
It's gonna be like
Jumping on a ride, that never ends (jumping on a ride, that never ends)
I'm never ever going back again
She got a poet's spirit
She bums among the clouds
She never stops believing
She only dreams out loud
There's a jackpot in the dresser
She's fallen in the bath
& if you need to kiss her
Don't forget your stash
'cause she gives it away
& you're fascinated by her
& she does it again
With simple & brilliant desire
& she gives it away
& you're fascinated by ...
By her - she wears a million colors
There's rainbows on her soles
She got a sign above her
That says I'm never growin' old
You're askin' her to dance
Now she spins a solid white light
She gonna make love to you today
Today & every night
& she gives it away
& you're fascinated by her
Then she does it again
With simple & brilliant desire
& she gives it away
& you're fascinated by
By her by her she may be waiting
'round the comer of your mind
But still you know
She's there you can feel her inside
So don't forget about the reasons
That brought you her
got a lot to learn chile
if you want to burn
seeking hearts concerns chile
if you want her chile
here's your fire, gonna fry her

what'll you say
what'll you do, what'll you do
when she starts weeping
when she crows
walking by temptation cries
i am thee and
i will be here again
Days an' nights, an' nights an' days
In silent shades of lazy grays
I call your name, it's all the same
Sitting, staring at the ceiling
Dripping painted, pictures peeling
From my walls, the time just crawls
Was it yesterday? I don't know
Was I dreaming or did I lose everything I believed in?
If you could only see what I see
Every time you leave
Imagine a world with no sky
Imagine the ocean run dry
Imagine, and you'll see the view
Of my world without you
Imagine no sun and no rain
Imagine that each day's the same
It doesn't matter, what I do
In a world without you
A doer's doing, thinker's thinking
Lonely lover's lips are sinking
In my tea, they're burning me
Wasted weeping, someone speaking
In my head, the bed is leaking tears again
And there's no end
Was it yesterday? I don't know
Was I dreaming or did I lose everything I believed in?
If you could only see what I see
Every time you leave
Imagine a world with no sky
Imagine the ocean run dry
Imagine, and you'll see the view
Of my world without you
Imagine no sun and no rain
Imagine that each day's the same
It doesn't matter what I do
In a world without you
And it's, nothing last forever
And it's, the empty never ends
And I can't stand the thought of breathing
Till I, I see you again
Imagine a world with no sky
Imagine the ocean run dry
Imagine, and you'll see the view
Of my world without you
Imagine no sun and no rain
Imagine that each day's the same
It doesn't matter what I do
In a world without you
Imagine, in a world without you
Imagine, in a world without you
Imagine, I don't wanna be alone
Imagine, in this world without you
Imagine a world with no sky
Imagine the ocean run dry
Imagine, and you'll see the view
I don't want, I don't want to be alone
Imagine no sun and no rain
Imagine that each day's the same
It doesn't matter what I do
Childhood living
You know, it's easy to do
The things that you wanted
I bought them for you
And graceless lady
You know, who I am
You know, I can't let you
Slide through my hands
[Chorus 1]
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
I watched you suffer
A dull aching pain
Now you decided
To sho-sho-sho-show me the same
There'll be no sweeping exits (no sweeping exits)
No offstage lines (offstage lines)
It couldn't make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind
[Chorus 2]
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
We'll ride them some day
I know, I dreamed you
You a sin, and a lie
[Chorus 2 x 2]
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
We'll ride them some day
Daddy is blowing,
leaves around the lawn.
He's laughing and joking,
and humming funny songs.
He's saying you gotta,
stand for something child.
His heart is wide open,
when he looks me in the eyes
(and he says)
When the weight of the world
is on your shoulder,
The rope is getting thin.
Run for the hills,
lay down in the water..
[chorus]
But I just wanna come home,
home, home, home.
Where I started from,
home, home, home
Before the weight of the world
Turns my heart to stone.
Mama is holding
tomatoes in the yard.
Her hair is all golden and
her soul's a superstar.
She's dancing to Billie's,
You gotta find your way.
She keeps saying don't worry,
I'll love you anyway.
If you ever feel
like you don't matter,
your best ain't good enough.
Run for the hills,
lay down in the water..
[chorus]
I was so lucky,
as anyone could ever be.
And my love is long,
and deeper than the sea.
No I never said it,
but I hope you will forgive.
Cuz' I thank you both,
for showing me how to live.
If the weight of the world
should leave you tired,
abandoned and stoned.
I will be there,
I am your daughter.
I'm coming home..
It's gonna be a dark cold december
With shaking lillies in the yard.
& your sweet face I will remember
How I'm gonna miss your stubburn heart.
So forgive me for my weakness
I guess my faith is a little stoned.
The angels cried on a friday
The day that God walked you home.
[chorus]
So goodbye Sister heroine
I'll remember everything, I love you..
Goodbye white trash beauty Queen
Your crooked heart & your beat up
dreams, I love you...
It hurts to laugh here without you
A piece inside of us is gone.
Mama tries to smile too
Aint never seen that woman try so hard.
No more working Alvarado
No more liars, tramps or tricks.
Your skin & bones don't cast no shadow
on an empty bed in Motel Six
[chorus]
We all threw roses at your feet
While you burned our crosses in the street
So if you're looking down on me,
Road is white, ski is black
Rattlesnake run down your back
Desert howls like it's noon
Bang bang bang boom boom boom boom
I want your love, I want your love
I want your poison in my cup
Morning sun rises soon
Bang bang bang boom boom boom boom
Bang bang, in ring of fire
Bang bang, my sweet desire
Bang bang, my love is true
Bang bang, I'd die for you
Bang bang bang boom boom boom boom
It's counted down from ten to one
Crazy eye, lucky gun
We were born, thats black and bone
You're the sticks, I am the stone
Bang bang, in ring of fire
Bang bang, my sweet desire
Bang bang, my love is true
Bang bang, I'd die for you
Bang bang bang boom boom boom boom
Everybody will declare rock and roll suicide
Meet you on the other side
Bullets made from silver spoon
I got em' baby just for you
Go anhead and make your move
Do a song
Bang bang, in ring of fire
Bang bang, my sweet desire
Bang bang, my love is true
Bang bang, I'd die for you
Bang bang bang boom boom boom boom
(humming)
I sing these words, time and time again
to express my life, of being your lover, and your friend
and as the clouds, cry cry cry cry, high above, shed their tears
i'll embrace you, with love, from all your fear
(chorus..varys each time)
am i the one, am i the one that you love
am i the one,hheeyy,
am i the one that you think of
am, am i, am i the one..
oh yeh yeh yeh
a passion in your carres, floats from your fingertips
and i pray for the day, that i hear those prescious words pass through your lips
wishin upon the start, from up above..uhh
that soon you'll love at me baby, and say im the one that you love

just tell me that you love me baby
even if it is a lie
am, am i

If I whisper my thoughts
would you hear the chanting
of my heart
phrasing melodies unsung in the dark
saying hold me through the night
hear the music from my room
calling out to you - come home to me soon
shadows bellowing duets with the moon
singing hold me through the night
hold me through the night
hold me through the night
and the water drop in the drain
just like the sound it makes
you're coming 'round again
there's a soft piano in a
warm summer's rain
playing hold me through the night
hold me through the night
hold me hold me
through the night
oh you gotta hold me through
you gotta hold me through the night
Stole the outside runnin' into the sun
I'm alive, I?m loud, as a golden gun
I killed my pride, so once again I'd see
Live and learn, you?ve fallen one thousand times
I feel the burn, there's fire from a crazy sky
Sealed concern, so once again I'd be
And it lifts you up, then it puts you down
And it feeds you life, then it lets you drown
While it holds your heart and it slowly tears you apart
And you know that life is what I mean
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, if I could
You know, I'd stand on the rock
Where Jesus stood, innocence and evil bad
And good walkin' side by side, all right, all right, all right
And it lifts you up, then it puts you down
And it feeds you life, then it lets you drown
While it holds your heart and it slowly tears you apart
And you know, and you know, and you know, life is what I mean
We got a way of makin' up our minds
How could I run? Just leave it all behind
When it breaks me up inside, still I refuse to hide
And it is, just what it is and that's all right
And it lifts you up, then it puts you down
And it feeds you life, then it lets you drown
While it holds your heart and it slowly tears you apart
And you know, and you know and you know
Then it lifts you up, then it puts you down
Then it feeds you life, then it lets you drown
While it holds your heart and it slowly tears you apart
And you know and you know and you know, life is what I mean
And you know and you know, you know, life is what I mean
Sunday morning,
The worlds still sleeping and the
rain keeps falling,
like angels weeping and I,
I feel the tears on my skin,
Their trying to tell me something,
I listen..
Blues and yellows,
Tap on my window so I
let the night go.
With all my shadows and I,
I feel the sun on my skin,
It's trying to tell me something
I listen..
[chorus]
Life is calling
Life is calling out my name.
Make it matter,
Say it louder,
Stay alive another day.
Life is calling out my name.
Perfect houses,
With good intentions,
where the happy familys,
hide their broken dishes and I
I hear the scars on my skin,
Their trying to tell me something
And I listen..
[chorus]
It's the wind over the ocean,
It's the secrets in the sand.
It's all trying to tell me something,
So I'm listening..
I seen myself with a dirty face
I cut my luck with a dirty ace
I leave the light on
I leave the light on
I went from zero to minus ten
I drank your wine then I stole your man
I leave the light on
I leave that light on
Daddy ain't that bad he just plays rough
I ain't that scarred when I'm covered up
I leave the light on
I leave the light on
Little girl hiding underneath the bed
Was it something I did
Must be something I said
I leave the light on, I better leave the light on
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
I don't know much about it
And I never did
17 and I'm all messed up inside
I cut myself just to feel alive
I leave the light on
I leave the light on
21 on the run, on the run, on the run
From myself, from myself and everyone
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
Better leave the light on
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
I don't know much about it
And I never did
I don't know what to do
Can the damage be undone
I swore to God that I'd never be
What I've become
Lucky stars and fairy tales
I'm gonna bathe myself in a wishin' well
Pretty scars from cigarettes
I never will forget, I never will forget
I'm still afraid to be alone
Wish that moon would follow me home
I leave the light on
I leave that light on
I ain't that bad
I'm just messed up
I ain't that sad
But I'm sad enough
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
I don't know much about it
And I never did
I don't know what to do
Can the damage be undone
I swore to God that I'd never be
What I've become
I leave the light, I leave the light
I leave the light on
God bless the child with the dirty face
Who cuts her luck with a dirty ace
She leaves the light on
Hold me as long, as you can stand it
Hold me as long, because I need it
Hold me as long, until we make it
Take your time, take your time
Hold me as long until you're, until you're better
Hold me as long, I'll be your nature
Yeah, hold me as long, we'll come together
Don't be shy
[Chorus]
I'm inviting you, I'm inviting you
Lay your hands on me
Run as fast as you can, run as fast as you can
So lay your hands on me
Hold me as long, my body's shaking
Hold me as long, I'm anticipating
And hold me as long, your woman's waiting
Yeah, don't be shy
[Chorus]
I'm inviting you, I'm inviting you
So lay your hands on me
Run as fast as you can, run as fast as you can
Just lay your hands on me
Hold me as long, your all I've ever wanted
Yeah, hold me as long (long, long, long
)
[Chorus]
I'm inviting you, I'm inviting you
So lay your hands on me
Run as fast as you can, run as fast as you can
Just lay your hands on me - just lay
Yeah, lay your hands on me
Just lay your hands on me - just lay
Just lay your hands on me
To remember or to forget it
Could you ever
Laugh out loud while you cry
It will own you, you can't let it
While it holds you you can't even try
You're so unsatisfied
You're so damn petrified
You ain't got nothin' no
You ain't got nothin' to prove
Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Just an itchy finger
And nobody knows
Just a little heartache
Somethin' for the soul
Fingers on the trigger
And nobody knows, what she knows
I got a secret and how you dread it
I should have known by
The lonely look in your eye
You made a promise never kept it
You didn't even tell me good-bye
You're so unsatisfied
There's no more tears to cry
You ain't got nothin' no
You ain't got nothin' to prove
Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Just an itchy finger
Nobody knows
Just a little heartache
Somethin' for the soul
Fingers on the trigger
And nobody knows, what she knows
Nobody knows, what she knows
In December, I got your letter
And by the springtime
They let me know you were gone
And if I only loved you better
I'd see you smile again
But what's done is done
Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Just an itchy finger
And nobody knows
Just a little heartache
Somethin' for the soul
Fingers on the trigger
And nobody knows
Just a little heartache
Just an itchy finger
And nobody knows
Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Just a little hole
Just a little hole
Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Fingers on the trigger
Heaven don't want me
Heaven don't fool me
No one will understand
And it's alright
I'm feelin' these changes
Everybody is strangers
No one will lend a hand
And I guess that's life
You say, you got a feelin'
You figured out, the writing on the wall
And angels on the ceiling
Don't calm you, when you call
You found your own religion
And searched your heart, for somethin' more
Stood naked in the kitchen
Tryin' to wipe yourself off, of the floor
No, I won't take you for granted
These broken arms, can hold you
No, I won't take you for granted
You say, it don't matter
You're livin' life, and livin' long
And hear the phony laughter
Echoing on and on
I'm hiding under water
I pray to God, wash me away
Can't hear the child's wonder
The innocence got hushed, along the way
And you say, now you say now
No, I won't take you for granted
These broken arms, can hold you
No, I won't take you for granted
No, I won't leave you abandoned
This broken heart can love you still
No, I won't take you for granted
You don't say, you will
But inside I know
You don't say, that it hurts
And tonight killed slow
All the love, in the world
Won't let you let go - let you, let go
Hold on, your soul will rise again
I know that it will
Hold on, your soul will rise again
I said that it will
Hold on, your soul will rise again
I know that it will now
Heaven don't want me
Heaven don't fool me
No one could give a damn
And i guess thats life
Ain't got style like a magazine - no my shoes don't shine
Ain't got pride like a beauty queen - can't even walk a straight line
Somebody said that the best things in life are on the inside
Say my name, all my love's in vain, in the welfare line
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
There's gotta be somethin' more than misery
It's the salt that stings
As good as it gets, I want the sunshine
Good as it gets, champagne all the time
Good as it gets, I'll live on wine and roses, hold me closer
Until I break a sweat, it ain't as good as it gets
I'm workin' on dreams, call 'em "Jelly Beans"
They make me laugh out loud
When the crowd screams - it is good indeed
And makes my mama proud
Somebody said "the best things in life, get 'em while you can"
Say my name I think it is gonna rain - I got to find my man
Nobody told me where the sun's gonna shine
Heaven is only for the good inside - right before I die
As good as it gets, I want the sunshine
Good as it gets, champagne all the time
Good as it gets, I'll live on wine and roses, hold me closer
Until I break a sweat, it ain't as good as it gets
(Somebody say)
I wanna break out - wanna break out - won't you let me in
I wanna make out - wanna make out - fill my cup again
I wanna break out - wanna break out - won't you let me in
I wanna make out - wanna make out - fill my cup again
To the fucking rim
As good as it gets, I want the sunshine
Good as it gets, champagne all the time
Good as it gets, I want the sunshine
Good as it gets, champagne all the time
I'll live on wine and roses, hold me closer
And if don't break a sweat, it ain't as good as it gets
As good as it gets
As good as it gets (somebody say)
As good as it gets...
People got no clothes on
Naked without the blinds drawn
Welcome to my kingdom
We're living our own freedom
& the girls say
Small boy sewn in stitches
He knows wicked witches
Mama's love is silent
Her sweetness becomes violence
& the girls say
It's got me losing my way
Is God really gone?
Losing my way
Everybody runs
Losing my way
Everybody hung their head down to sigh
Everybody hung their head out to dry
Pictured on the ceiling
Regretting what you're feeling
Welcome to my kingdom
Hello again my friend
It's been sometime,
I try and read you
In your shifting eyes
Your hands are trembling
As I hold 'em in mine
How ya livin'
You were the talker
& I was the clown
We grew up wonderin'
How we would get out
But you're still talkin' talkin'
You got places to go
You got people to know
You got plans
To get your shit together
Did you take it too far
Did you forget who you are
Did you stash your soul
Into the closet forever
So now you're hustling
For the five & dime
You cure the stranger
& his perverted mind
You are the poet of need
& lust how's the preachin'
You painted destinations
On the inside
& dreamed of revelations
Yearning to fly
But you're still walkin'
& still talkin'
Hold on geany
Watch what ya say
Save your preachin'
For a rainier day
Hold on geany
I'm talkin' to you
You're so amazing
Laughin' till it pisses everybody off
Pullin' up my dress at a dinner meeting
Kissin' till my lips are ready to fall off
Screamin' all night then just say I'm singin'
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
Gold butterflies & gum on a string
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
But doin' nothin' is my favorite one
Cashin' in on the glory of my biggest mistakes
Fading in the grass basking in the sunlight
Go & say to mama I'll just drive 98
Hold her in my arms tell her I'll be alright
Breath in faith & hope & a big fat cigarette
Drowning in the wine having no regrets
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
Don't ask me why
Gold butterflies & gum on a string
Get me high
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
But doin' nothin' is my favorite one
& it's not the life I thought it would be
But I'll be alright
I know I will be
So long to circumstance
Cashin' in on the glory
Of my biggest mistakes
I'm fadin' now at last
Baskin' in sweet sunlight
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
Don't ask me why
Gold butterflies & gum on a string
Get me high
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
If I won me the lottery
I'd dance naked in the street
With a top hat full of money
& you'd wanna get to know me
If I won me the lottery
& if I was a movie star
I'd sip honey from a pickle jar
In the back of my limousine
& they'd call me an icon
& I'd be lookin' back at you
From the cover of the people magazine
I guess it's all for the takin'
I guess it's all yours and mine
My sister says I got to see it & believe it
& I believe I believe it
But I'm just an outsider
Livin' in a trailer with my black & white tv set
If only I was president
You know I'd paint the white house pink
& never have to pay the rent
If only I was president
I guess it's all there for the takin'
I think it's all yours & mine
My preacher says I got to see it to believe it
& l believe
Won't sleep till I've had enough
I believe won't sip my wine from no paper cup
I believe won't sleep till I've had enough
Delicious surprise
Now I do believe
No fear in my eyes
Now I can see
Heaven's inside inside inside
I knew it all the time
Got me somethin to believe in
But all I really want now is
