Hey hey I just had a magnificent idea
why don't you slip that sundress off?
I know somewhere under there
you've got my favorite swimsuit on
Show me that little butterfly shaped tattoo
you know the one just below that tanline
Don't be shy you know that I think you
are the epitome of knock down gorgeous
slap your mama fine
I can't help what you do to me baby
and you can't help how heaven shaped your body and
they're crazy if they think we're living in a man's world
Everybody knows it's all about the girl
the girl
You know you know how to get
whatever it is you want
'specially if you're being bad
Bat your big blue eyes
put your hand down on my thigh
nibble on my ear like that
I can't help what you do to me honey
and you can't help how heaven shaped your body
they're crazy if they think we're living in a mans world
Everybody knows it's all about the girl
the girl
[instrumental]
you know I love what you do to me honey
you know I love how heaven shaped your body
you know I love how you kiss my lips
you know I love how heaven shaped your hips
I can't help what you do to me honey
and you can't help how heaven shaped your body and they're crazy if they think
we're living in a man's world
everybody knows it's all about
Everybody knows it's all about the girl
the girl
Lord have mercy it's the girl

Last night out of the blue
Driftin' off to the evenin' news
She said "Honey, what would you do
"If you'd have never met me"
I just laughed, said "I don't know,
"But I could take a couple guesses though"
And then tried to dig real deep,
Said, "Darlin', honestly
"I'd do a lot more offshore fishin'
"Probably eat more drive-thru chicken
"Take a few strokes off my golf game
"If I'd a never known your name
"I'd still be drivin' that old green 'Nova
"I probably never would have heard of yoga
"Be a better football fan
"But if I was a single man
"Alone and out there on the loose
"I'd be lookin' for a woman like you"
Well, I could tell that got her attention
So I said, "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention
"I wouldn't trade a single day
"For a hundred years the other way"
She just smiled and rolled her eyes
'Cause she's heard all of my lines
I said, "C'mon on girl, seriously
"If I hadn't been so lucky
"I'd be shootin' pool in my bachelor pad
"Playin' bass in my cover band
"Restockin' up cold Bud Light
"For poker every Tuesday night, yeah
"I'd have a dirtbike in the shed
"And not one throw pillow on the bed
"I'd keep cash in a coffee can
"But if I was a single man
"Alone and out there on the loose
"I'd be looking for a woman like you"
She knows what a mess I'd be if I didn't have her here
But to be sure, I whispered in her ear
"You know I get sick deep-sea fishin'
"And you make the best fried chicken
"I got a hopeless golf game
"I love the sound of your name
"I might miss that old green 'Nova
"But I love watchin' you do yoga
"I'd take a gold band on my hand
"Over bein' a single man
"'Cause honestly, I don't know what I'd do
This shouldn't be hard for you, you made it look easy back then.
And if I remember correctly, you said “we're better off as friends”.
So now would be a good time for you to let go of my hand,
what part of leave me alone do you not understand?
You know I cried for a solid year.
And I don't recall you ever shed no tears.
And now you're standin' here askin' me to please take you back again.
What part of leave me alone do you not understand?
I know I promised you I'd love you my whole life.
Baby that's one promise i made, i still stand by.
Just to take a bullet for you, one night of romance.
What part of leave me alone do you not understand?
You know I cried for a solid year.
And i don't recall you ever shed no tears.
Well now you're standin' here askin' me to please take you back again.
What part of leave me alone do you not understand?
In case you didn't hear me the first time baby.
You know I cried for a solid year.
And I don't recall you ever shed no tears.
Oh now you're standin' here askin' me to please take you back again.
What part of leave me alone do you not understand?
I just got off of work at 5
Drivin' that old van I drive
Overalls and dirty boots
But Uncle Bill needed a funeral suit
So when I walked in that fancy store
Well they looked at me like I was poor
But a wad of hundred dollar bills caused a stir
It went from “don't take checks� to “right away, yes sir!�
Upper middle class white trash
My pockets can't hold all my cash
'Cause one day I stopped to pee
Got some gas and won the lottery
Now I'm investin' in my neighborhood
My friends and family, they're all livin' pretty good!
My trailer park's full of Cadillacs
And upper middle class white trash
Well I got my homeboy Chris a brand new shop
For all those cars on cinder blocks
And cousin Charlie, well he thinks it's cool
To keep a large mouth bass in his new swimmin' pool
I had a birthday party for mama last night
In her ninety and a half foot triple-wide
You ain't seen nothin' if you ain't seen
NASCAR on a sixty inch plasma screen
Upper middle class white trash
My pockets can't hold all my cash
'Cause one day I stopped to pee
Got some gas and won the lottery
Now I'm investin' in my neighborhood
My friends and family, they're all livin' pretty good!
My trailer park's full of Cadillacs
And upper middle class white trash
We're buyin' chicken wings by the bucket!
We can't eat 'em all, we just say 'chuck it'
All the Miller Light you can handle
A hundred and fifty-seven movie channels
Upper middle class white trash
Our pockets can't hold all our cash
'Cause one day I just had to pee
Got some gas and won the lottery
Now I'm investin' in my neighborhood
My friends and family, they're all livin' pretty dag gum good!
My trailer park's full of Cadillacs
And upper middle class white trash
So pop a top, sit back and relax
All you upper middle class white trash
Ha ha ha
These last few days
What can I say
You’ve had me thinkin’ in circles
In crazy not like me ways
My favorite thing
Lately has been waking up with you
Talkin ourselves to sleep again
Baby come a little closer
Let me lay some nibble kisses on your shoulder
You said that’s your favorite place
Baby maybe we could borrow
Find a way to bag and
Steal a few tomorrows and stay
Here in these last few days
These last few days
Have blown me away
The thought of letting go,
And falling
Is actually feeling okay
I must confess
I need some rest
But with every touch
I swear the better it seems to get
Baby come a little closer
Let me lay some nibble kisses on your shoulder
You said that your favorite place
Baby maybe we could borrow
Find a way to bag and
Steal a few tomorrows and stay
Here in these last few days
I aint lookin for love
But whatever this is
I can’t get enough
Baby come a little closer
Let me lay some nibble kisses on your shoulder
You said that your favorite place
Baby maybe we could borrow
Find a way to bag and
Steal a few tomorrows and stay
He used to hold her hand, he used to hold her door.
She don't know what that feels like anymore.
Just last night he was sleepin', she kissed his face,
he said “I gotta work in the morning” and rolled away.
He used to love her like crazy, you couldn't pull them apart.
God she felt so unbelievable in his arms.
Now she's catchin' herself lookin' down at her ring every now and then.
She don't wanna leave, she just needs it to be that way again.
So this mornin' she had coffee with a brand new friend.
She still had half a cup left when he asked her “can i see you again”.
That made her smile like she hadn't smiled in years,
in just a second her smile turned to tears.
She said, “he used to love me like crazy, you couldn't pull us apart.
God i felt so unbelievable in his arms”.
But now shes catchin' herself lookin' down at her ring every now and then.
She don't wanna leave she just needs it to be that way again.
She left that little cafe, she headed straight to her car.
She picked up her phone, he didn't say hi,
he just said “hey, when you gettin' home?”
She said, "you used to love me like crazy, you couldn't pull us apart.
God I felt so unbelievable in your arms.
But now I'm catchin' myself lookin' down at my ring every now and then.
But I don't wanna leave I just need you to be that way again."
Jeep tires burn my driveway black,
Got my John deere hat turned back.
Brother says there's gonna be a fight,
Sumter County Friday Night.
One black eye and two teeth later,
Sumter High and the Lakewood gators
Brandy May, Nancy Bean,
Waiting at the Dairy Queen!
Jump in the back, take down the top,
28 minutes to Sparkle Berry Swamp.
Come over here give me a kiss,
Lord don't make it no better than this!
Red dirt roads and big tire toys,
Country girls and redneck boys,
Carolina moon is big and bright,
Sumter County Friday Night!
Fred Johnson just opened up his fields,
Change of plans ain't no big deal.
Hundered fifty cell phones ring,
Everybody's talking about the same thing!
Wedgefield Road south of town,
Go 13 miles then slow it down,
Radar trap, Barney Fife,
Don't hold that brown bag up to high!
Red dirt roads and big tire toys,
Country girls and redneck boys,
Carolina moon is big and bright,
Sumter County Friday Night!
Tailgates down around the fire,
New shotgun can't wait to try her.
Beer can targets in the air,
Duck boots are the thing to wear.
Cow tippin', skinny dipping,
Bring your own 'cause you can't have mine.
Don't start out looking for trouble,
But oh the trouble we can find!
Red dirt roads and big tire toys,
Country girls and redneck boys,
Carolina moon is big and bright,
Sumter County Friday Night,
It's really good to see you,
Your looking just as good as I recall,
No nothings really changed here at all,
I heard you moved to Phoenix
So whatcha doing back here in this no where town?
And are you staying at your mamas house?
Me oh yeah, yeah, I've been doin' fine
You should know me well enough to know I'm lying,
The lights turn red and the lights turn green,
The sun comes up and shines on everything,
Everyday, everyday, and I still don't know what to do
About the way I feel about you,
Somethings ain't ever gonna change,
Somethings ain't ever gonna change!
Now I still see your daddy,
Help him fix his 'ole tractor now and then,
No they don't make 'em anymore like the two of them!
Love to hear him talk about you,
I could listen to his stories all day long,
It's like you ain't ever been gone!
We both know you have to walk away,
But God knows I'll still love you anyway, yeah!
The lights turn red and the lights turn green,
The sun comes up and shines on everything!
Everyday, everyday!
And I still don't know what to do,
About the way I feel about you,
Somethings ain't ever gonna change!
No, Somethings ain't ever gonna change!
It's really good to see you,
You're looking just as good as I recall,
She got her daddy's tongue and temper
Sometimes her mouth could use a filter
God shook his head the day he built her
Oh, but I bet he smiled
She loves and lives her life, unruly
Tears up that dirt road up in a dualy
Dangerous, absolutely
And in a little while
She'll be roundin' that corner on three wheels
Ain't slowin down, yellin, "Come on, jump in"
Always up to somethin, crazy, got nothin' on her
She ain't right
She ain't right
She ain't right
But she's just right for me
She says she wants to meet my momma
I said, "I don't think you oughta
Be like mixin' oil and water"
But by midnight, she had
Momma on the coffee table, dancin'
Comin' unwound
Good God, I swear, can't take her anywhere
What's the girl gonna do next?
She ain't right
She ain't right
She ain't right
But she's just right for me
Every once in a while, she gives me that smile
And says, "I just don't see somebody like you
Lovin' somebody like me"
She ain't right
No, she ain't right
She ain't right
She ain't right
She ain't right
But she's just right, she's just right
She's just right for me
Mmm, she's just right, she's just right
She ain't right but she's just right for me
A Saturday downpour carved out rivers in the sand
She said it was her fist time to see the sea
Helping her climb across those jetty rocks
Was the first time I touched her hand
And the rain and the way that felt
Never let up all week
By Thursday, I knew everything about her
And, God, the last day, I didn't wanna leave without her
The sidewalks and the streets were soaked
And the sky was grey, but you should've seen her face
Shinin' like that lighthouse through all the rain
And the way she called my name
Well, I've lived those seven days a thousand times
Those seven days a thousand
Time was like the tide, it came and went
That old pier ran clear out into the mist
And my mind plays back that Tuesday night
Again and again and again
I taste that salt water taffy on her lips
And Wednesday morning snuck in through the window
And we just laid there and listened to the waves come and go
The sidewalks and the streets were soaked
And the sky was grey, but you should've seen her face
Shinin' like that lighthouse through all the rain
And the way she called my name
Well, I've lived those seven days a thousand times
Those seven days a thousand
Moments with her, now, they're all a blur
Except for every second, every word
Every drop of rain, every single grain of sand
The sidewalks and the streets were soaked
And the sky was grey, but you should've seen her face
Shinin' like that lighthouse through all the pourin' rain
And the way she called my name
Well, I've lived those seven days a thousand times
I grew up on the edge of a cornfield at the end of a long dirt road
Carolina plow boy, ain’t had a free summer since I was ten years old
Mama made us pick our own switches so we could feel the sting of doin’ wrong
That set me straight on the road I’m still on
I am who I am
The product of a good woman loved by a real good man
I’ve learned what I’ve learned
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
I love what I love
I ain’t afraid to say it ‘cause I’m damn sure man enough
That’s what you need to see to get a picture of me
I grew up on gospel ‘cause that’s all my daddy’d listen to
I found my soul in rock and roll when me and my first guitar were introduced
Truth is I’ve only loved one woman
And she’d have stayed, but I made her leave
She’s still hauntin’ me in every song I sing
I am who I am
The product of a woman still loved by a stubborn man
I’ve learned what I’ve learned
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
I love what I love
I ain’t afraid to say it ‘cause I’m damn sure man enough
That’s what you need to see to get a picture of me
Like me or leave me
Either way you know it the second you shake my hand
I’m a long way from Jesus, but I know He knows I’m doing the best I can
I am who I am
The product of the good Lord lovin’ a sinful man
I’ve learned what I’ve learned
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
I love what I love
I ain’t afraid to say it ‘cause I’m damn sure man enough
That’s what you need to see
I’ve spent a lot of time; I’ve spent a lot of energy
Set in my mind, set in my way settin’ him lonely
Keeping my space, Holdin’ my own keys
Makin’ my way makin’ my list of things that I don’t need
Like a woman, or a heartbreak, or a woman
You showed me that thinkin’ that way is
Overrated
Overrated
I’ve put a lot of stock
In keepin’ easy
Changin’ my mood, changin’ my socks just to suit me
Limited myself to casual kissin’
Never had a problem easily dismissin’ any woman
Or complication
But woman, you showed me that thinkin’ that way is
Overrated
Overrated
Havin’ no pictures to clutter the walls
Or anyone angry if I forget to call
Freedom and room and time alone
I’m telling you, you’re all
Over rated…
over rated…
I’ve spent a lot of time
I’ve spent a lot of energy
Set in my mind set in my way settin’ him lonely
Keeping my space, holdin’ my own keys
Makin my way makin’ my list of things that I don’t need
People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
They say I need to get on with my life
But they don't realize
'Cause when you're dialing 6 numbers just to hang up the phone
Driving cross town just to see if she's home
Waking a friend in the dead of the night
Just to hear him say it's gonna be alright
When you're finding things to do not to fall asleep
'Cause you know she'll be there in your dreams
That's when she's more than a memory
Took a match to everything she ever wrote
Watched her words go up in smoke
Tore all her pictures off the wall
That ain't helping me at all
'Cause when you're talking out loud but nobody's there
You look like hell and you just don't care
Drinking more than you ever drank
Sinking down lower than you ever sank
When you find yourself falling down upon your knees
Praying to God, begging Him please
That's when she's more than a memory
She's more, she's more
'Cause when you're dialing her number just to hang up the phone
Driving cross town just to see if she's home
Waking a friend in the dead of the night
Just to hear him say it's gonna be alright
When you're finding things to do not to fall asleep
'Cause you know she's waiting in your dreams
That's when she's more than a memory
People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
They called them crazy when they started out
Said, "Seventeen's too young to know what loves about"
They've been together fifty-eight years now
That's crazy
He brought home sixty-seven bucks a week
Bought a little 2 bedroom house on Maple Street
Where she blessed him with six more mouths to feed
Now that's crazy
Just ask him how he did it
He'll say, "Pull up a seat
It'll only take a minute
To tell you everything"
Be a best friend, tell the truth
And overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best
Don't outsmart your commonsense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
They called him crazy when he quit his job
Said them home computers, boy, they'll never take off
Well, he sold his one man shop to Microsoft
And they paid like crazy
Just ask him how he made it
He'll tell you faith and sweat
And the heart of a faithful woman
Who never let him forget
Be a best friend, tell the truth
And overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best
Don't outsmart your commonsense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
Always treat your woman like a lady
Never get to old to call her baby
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
They called him crazy when they started out
They've been together fifty-eight years now
I am insensitive I have a tendency to pay more attention to the things that
I need.
Sometimes I drink to much, sometimes I test your trust, sometimes I dunno
Why you're staying with me?
I'm hard to love, hard to love, I don't make it easy, I couldn't do it if I
Stood where you stood
I'm hard to love, hard to love, you say that you need me, I don't deserve
It but I love that you love me. goood
I am a short fuse, I am a wrecking ball crashing into your heart like I do
You're like a Sunday morning full of grace and full of Jesus I wish that I
Could be more like you.
I'm hard to love, hard to love, I don't make it easy, I couldn't do it if I
Stood where you stood,
I'm hard to love, hard to love, you say that you need me, I don't deserve
It but I love that you love me. Goood
Love me good
Girl you've given me a million second chances and I don't ever wanna take
You for granted, I'm just a man, I'm just a man
Hard to love, hard to love, oh I don't make it easy and I couldn't do it if
I stood where you stood.
I'm hard to love, hard to love and you say that you need me, I don't
Deserve it but I love that you love me. good. (x2)
Well, I love her and she's leaving
She met a man, plays in a band last weekend
And he lives out on the west coast
And she says she's got to go
But it's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A
Anything could change her mind
One sunset or one regret
She could turn around, come back and be mine
Happy endings happen all the time
She's almost finished packing
There's over 2,000 miles, a lot could happen
There's going to be days and days of long stretches
Maybe she'll come back to her senses
'Cause it's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A
Anything could change her mind
One sunset or one regret
And she could turn around, come back and be mine
Happy endings happen all the time
Well, I ain't waiting on no phone call
I ain't getting my hopes up at all
I ain't setting myself up for a fall
But it's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A
Anything could change her mind
One sunset or one regret
She could turn around, come back and be mine
Then everything would be just fine
Yea, happy endings happen all the time
It's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A
We got the horses moving
We got woofers grooving
We got the Waylon wailing
Everybody's head is bobbing
I got the muffler flowing
I got my horn a blowing
I got the rubber burning
Down on all fours
Pull in the club
We hear the band bang
Roll through the door
Everybody hey, hey
Four on the floor, feel the beat in your soul
Moving to the rhythm, pumping till you can't take no more
Dance if you want to, do what you came to
You can't ignore the feeling of that four on the floor
Aw yeah, D.J. is really wigging
He got the old school mixing
The fellas heads are spinning
All the girls are finger licking
We got the bubbly bubbling
I got her shoulders rubbing
I got my game a spitting
Kicking it in low
She grabs my arm
Pulls me to the main stage
Out on the floor
Everybody sing, sing
Four on the floor, feel the beat in your soul
Moving to the rhythm, pumping till you can't take no more
Dance if you want to, do what you came to
You can't ignore the feeling of that four on the floor
Take a little walk outside
Honey wants to see my ride
You know I think I might
Turn on a little Barry White
Four on the floor, feel the beat in your soul
Moving to the rhythm, pumping till you can't take no more
Dance if you want to, do what you came to
You can't ignore the feeling of that four on the
Feeling of that four on the floor
Feeling of that four on the floor, oh yeah
My baby’s sweet talkin’ the cable man
While I’m a diggin’ around up here
Sweatin’ my %#@ off in the attic
Trying to find the rabbit ears
The screen doors off the hinges
And there’s a flat tire on the Olds
And this GE Fridgerator ain’t keeping nothin’ froze
We’re falling apart together
Well it’s another flash light dinner in the dark Mmm Hmm
When times get hard
We just shake us on a little more salt and pepper
Yeah the good thing is we might be falling apart
But we’re falling apart together
Well I got me some good friends that swing a hammer at a nail
But there ain’t no houses going up
Ain’t no checks in the mail
Well the gas tanks might be empty
But the tail gates still full
We pass a guitar and a bottle around
Everybody take a pull
We’re falling apart together
Well it’s another flash light dinner in the dark Mmm Hmm
When times get hard
We just shake us on a little more salt and pepper
Yeah the good thing is we might be falling apart
But we’re falling apart together
These days ain’t stayin’ forever
They’re gonna get better
But till they do
We’ll be falling apart together
Well it’s another flash light dinner in the dark Mmm Hmm
When times get hard
We'll just shake us on a little more salt and pepper
Yeah the good thing is we might be falling apart
Did you see me with my coat and my white t-shirt
And my cowboy boots, and my baby blues
Staring at you from across the room?
Did you see me looking at you? Yes, you did
I was looking at your eyes, looking at your legs
Looking at your thigh, looking at the old back side
Did you see me looking at you, man?
I don't understand what a women like you
Would want in a boy like him, and boy like him
Well, I saw your man standing there and I gave him a glare
And I swear he looked pretty scared to me
I saw him swallow his pride and I looked deep in his eyes
And it ended with, "You wanna take this outside?"
'Cause Carolina boys get rowd and loud
Yes, we do, don't look at me
I'll turn you whole world upside down
'Cause we get rowd and loud
I didn't mean to scare you with my rowdy redneck friends
But I couldn't help to notice you walk in with him
His 3 piece suit and his penny loafer shoes
Girl, tell me what am I gonna do with you?
Do you want to ride?
Do you want to dance all night?
Do you want to take a little
Trip in my lifted ride?
It might get rowd and loud
Now tell the truth, girl, you saw a new world
The moment you layed your pretty little eyes on me
Well, I give you something to think about, something to talk about
Tell the whole world about a girl like me
'Cause Carolina boys get rowd and loud
Yes, we do, don't look at me
I'll turn you whole world upside down
'Cause we get rowd and loud
'Cause we get rowdy
No, we get rowdy
Sometimes I get angry
For feeling sorry for myself
I worry myself crazy
Till I can catch my breath
I see life as a struggle
And answers hard to find
And troubles weighing heavy on my mind
Till beautiful you start smiling
Laugh until you cry
And even if I'm trying
I can't help but laughing at myself
I don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it
When I look up and there ain't nothing left
But beautiful you
Sometimes when I ask you
What do you stay here for
I know we need each other
But it seems I need you more
You act like you don't hear me
You don't even make a sound
And I hold my breath until you turn around
Till beautiful you start smiling
Laugh until you cry
And even if I'm trying
I can't help but laughing at myself
I don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it
When I look up and there ain't nothing left
But beautiful you
You don't even see it
You swear you can't believe it
But your beautiful, beautiful
I don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it
Sometimes I just have to pinch myself
When I look up and there ain't nothing left
I’ve been around the ocean since I was a kid
I don’t get to see it much these days
This mornin’ I walked down to it just to say I did
And Damned if it didn’t take my breath away
I guess some things are just that way
Like a baby sleeping
A Momma kneeling
A Key-West sunset sky
Yeah the chills I get when you lay your lips on mine
That’s Beautiful … beautiful every time
Well I could hear the music drifting over the dunes
It sounded like a weddin’ on the beach
I Figured I’d take a closer look
Had nothin’ better to do
Yes I forgot the sight a blushing bride could be
Well I guess amazing is always amazing
Like a baby sleeping
A Momma kneeling
A Key-West sunset sky
Yeah the chills I get when you lay your lips on mine
That’s Beautiful
Beautiful every time
I guess amazing will always be amazing
Like a church choir singing
A nation healing
A soldier coming home alive
The love for me girl I see in your eyes
That’s beautiful
Beautiful every time
Head out to the unknown
With sincere dismay
Fear will direct you
Through the safest way
Never ask a question
Don't reveal a lie
Why should you bother?
When you can just pass right by?
Fate will take care of what to say
Fate will lead me to my decay
Fate betraying my trust
I can't resist it
I must
Give up when defeated
You'll never win a fight
Crimson red will stand out in the crowd
Where all is white
Though nobody bothers
If you suffocate
You know you can trust me
I am fate
Fate will take care of what to say
Feel the chills down your spine
Let me break down
Your last will to deny
Put your life on the line
And surrender your past
Don't ask me why
You must submit to my fatal mind
And make it your own
I dare not lie
Come now, don't look behind
Let me see that you've grown
Pale aversion in fatal alliance
Scream for deliverance
Fake your own reverence
Drifting in and out, I won't lie
Insecure my visions blind my
Sight, my means, my faith, my view
I hate myself for trusting you!
Find the door, egress this white world
Tie these chains and link what's, take what's
Mine, what's yours, you're mine, not yours
Above discoloured vomit pours
Justification of violence of worst kind
I wish I knew it when,
White did not mean the end
When transfixion occurs as the first state
White is all that I see
This is how she came to be
No contradiction in warfare and worship
Sing me a lullaby
Since the dawn of society, there have reigned a
number of commandments one must obey to attain
social stability and uniformity.
The commandments are:
You shall not think that you ARE something.
You shall not think that you are equal to US.
You shall not think that you are wiser than US.
You shall not fancy yourself as better than US.
You shall not think that you know more than US.
You shall not think that YOU are good at anything.
You shall not laugh at US.
You shall not think that anyone cares about YOU.
You shall not think that you can teach US anything.
These norms and values have been used to oppress
the free thinkers, making sure that nobody uses their
Keep in absence of truth
My smile within this hollow
Trust in me like I trust this noose
You will never find out why
Fire bleeding from this picture of you
Hide from this unpleasant
I'd give you the ashes
Only I could find one reason to trust in you
Let me go now
Let go of my hand
Find your own place
I found my promised land
Sink if you will
I'll never comprehend
Sink if you will
I'll never come to your defence
Bury yourself
Inside your phantom pain
All the way down
See how much pity you'll gain
Fight your shadow
In this light you'll go blind
I have seen the face of
I wake to bleed another day
Dragging my anvil of pain
Betrayed, abandoned, rejected by life
My torment has branded its stain
At ease to leave this forsaken earth
My soul is awaiting my cry
Directing my lifeline away from its path
Soon is the moment I die
No way of sharing the pain that I feel
Disguising my plans to betray
Fire awaiting, my soul will be free
Tonight I'm passing away
How to live and how to bow
The lesson one must learn
Distinguish myself from your misery
Let's see now who will burn
All those who speak without a face
Now you'll remember my song
Before I was air, but not anymore
Something that'll last
Forever, but never. Let it grow
Hurt from the inside
No one's on your side
No one to care for
Everyone to blame
No one to care for
Not even a name
A dream is reappearing
In inversion
The mind is working
Against the body
Signals misinterpreted
Language lost
The mind is working
Against itself
Keep building till you reach the sky
Don't look back. Don't slow down
A dream is reappearing
Now is the time to shine
Everything inside
Keep holding back
Sight, what a terrible sight
Seeing my own demise
Worms crawl, maggots creeping
God, tell me that I am sleeping
I'm holding on in vain
You have killed again
Nursery rhymes off tune
Nothing can make it right
Letting go without a fight
He will kill again
She's supposed to light my way
Now this light blinds my eye
Senses down all is bleak
Why did you leave me dry?
Die! How could you kill like this?
Burning down all that's right
Why her smile? Why her life?
Speak to me, you have no right
Why did this have to be?
No colour meets my eye
And no tears left to dry
And I'll be seeing you,
In all the old, familiar places,
That this heart of mine embraces,
All day through.
In that small cafe,
The park accross the way,
The children's carousel,
The chestnut trees, the wishing well,
I'll be seeing you,
In every lovely summer's day,
In Everything that's light and gay,
I'll always think of you that way,
I'll find you, in the morning sun,
And when the night is young,
I'll be looking at the moon,
(i Wonder Why) You`re Just In Love[Kenneth:]
I hear singing and there's no one there
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on air
I wonder why
I wonder why
I keep tossing in my sleep at night
And what's more I've lost my appetite
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyes
I wonder why
[Sally:]
You don't need analyzing
It is not so surprising
That you feel very strange but nice
Your heart goes pitter patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there once or twice
Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rubdown with a velvet glove
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick
e kiss a-kiss a-kiss a-kiss away all our cares,
The player piano plays that good old razz-a-ma-tazz.
I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues.
They're the best I've ever heard,
When they play the ragtime jazz,
It makes me wanna cuddle, I wanna honey puddle,
I wanna say "skiddy-woo" and "razz-a-ma-tazz."
It's that ever-lovin' old piano roll
I get a funny feelin' down in my soul
So keep on syncopatin', while I keep palpatatin'
That old piano roll blues.
I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues.
Sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me,
We're pushin' on the pedals singin' sweet harmony.
I wanna hear it again, the rinkety-tink,
We cuddle closer it seems.
We kiss a-kiss a-kiss a-kiss away all our cares,
The player piano plays that good old razz-a-ma-tazz.
I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues, you'd better believe it,
When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around, she came
When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring
You court them in song and rhyme
They answer with words and a clover ring
But if you could examine the goods they bring
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And the plentiful waste of time of day
A plentiful waste of time
Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly whites
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, sunny morning
Lies a body just oozin' life
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be oh Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat down by the river don'tcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'droopin' on down
Oh that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Mack he's back in town
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Oooh Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town.
Aah I said Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town
They say they want, they say they want
You love live your life, you love live your life
Baby, baby
It would stay girl lay before you
Say that thing, say that thing
I'm happy that you made it
But really, really, really
They would shell was down, down, down
Rounding round getting it the strongest empty sick in it
The city slick but tonight in my mouth where her titty seat
I titty split but then I go hammer your sammer the sammer
Smokes something I'm willing I'm gone
Hope the DJ and that hope
Prefer old gin with no pope and I like my bitches alive
But my enemies with no poe
So stay now wide open Maserati cold to see bad
With no shirt tattie cloud surfing like... high up, high up, high up
I'm go down, I'm go down, I'm go down
Keep your head above the water, above the water
And when they down
Just keep showing that you're stronger, that you're stronger
Smoke too much, smoke too much
I think I got our drinking problem
But if you want me all this you play
If I want you too, uh
I'ma be the same I'll probably never change
Think us think I'm new but I got guilty in this game
They doing my thing I've been here calling my lane
I've been here all across and had the diamonds in my chain
You say you want a rock star a super star, a big shy
While it takes a little time, a little patience
I never lie, plus I get all I got
Is that's what you want, is that what you want,
Is that's what you want from me
You always said I will make it,
Yes you did, yes you did
