Try to swim, keep your head up
Kick your legs, never give up, boy
And if I could I'd turn it around
Let me out
I wanna get out now
You know the feeling when you're in too deep
And then you make it out the taste so sweet
Sweet
Sweet
I'm too high, wanna come down
And I'm too old to wanna be younger now
But if I could I'd turn it around
Let me out
I wanna get out now
You know the feeling when you're in too deep
And then you make it out, the taste so sweet
Sweet
Sweet
Cover me cover me cover me
til I'm gone
Cover me cover me cover me
til I'm gone
Cover me cover me cover me
til I'm gone
gone
Well if I could I'd turn it around
yeah…
You know the feeling when you're in too deep
And then you make it out
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did it
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did
You know they didn't ever
Have to love me
No, no, no
And no one ever will ever
Love them now
Oh, oh, but they
They always wanted somehow
To save me
Why, oh, why
For pity's sake, they should've saved themselves
Oh, oh, but you
You always said I never missed a note
I only ever wanted to be with you
I only wanted someone to play
Play, play, play
When I pull the wings off the fly
The fly never wonders why
You know they never really ever had to love me
No, no, no
But no one will ever love them now
Oh, oh, but they
They always thought that somehow they could save me
But why oh why
For pity's sake me, they should've saved themselves
but you
you always said I never missed a note
and nobody ever knew me like you do, you do
You always said it's gonna be ok, ok
I only ever really wanted to be with you
I only wanted someone to play, play, play, play
When I pull the wings off of the fly
Sitting still as stone watching - watching
People walking by you wondering why
No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it
--if they ever did
What if God shuffled by?
One day we might see
Doing not a thing
Like breathing just to breathe
We might find some reason
But rushing around that's
what's wrong with the world
Don't lose the dreams inside your head
They'll only be there 'til you're dead
Dream
Lying on the roof counting
The stars that fill the sky I wonder if
Someone in the heavens
looking back down on me--You never know
So much space to believe
Funny when you're small
The moon follows the car
There's no one but you see
Hey, the moon is chasing me
And I worried if I looked away she'd be gone
Don't lose the dreams inside your head
They'll only be there 'til you're dead
Dream
Walking through the wood
With no cares in the world
The world she's come to play
She's all mine just for a day
And in no time to waste
In the play of this game
Don't let the troubles in your head
Steal too much time you'll soon be dead
So play
All fall down
It won't be so long now
Out of the darkness comes light like a flash
You think you can you think you can
Sometimes that is the problem
Dream little darling dream
Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb
And everyday should be a good day to die
Oh all fall down
It won't be soo long now
Every fire dies
I find it hard to explain how I got here
I think I can I think I can
Then again I will falter
Dream
Oh, I think I can I think I can
I think I can I think I can
Dream little darling dream
Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb
Oh, when the world ends
Collect your things, you're comin' with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
Watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
Oh, we'll be lyin' in bed
I'm-a rock you like a baby
When the cities fall
We will rise as the buildings crumble
Float there and watch it all
Midst the burnin', we'll be churnin'
You know, love will be our wings
The passion rises up from the ashes
When the world ends
When the world ends
You're gonna come with me
We're gonna be crazy, like a river bends
We're gonna float through the criss cross of the mountains
Watch them fade to nothing
When the world ends, you know
That's what's happenin'
Now, I'm gonna be there with you somehow, oh
I'm 'onna tie you up like baby
In a carriage car
Your legs don't worry cause you want me so
You just lie spread to the wall
The love you got is surely all the love
I would ever need
I'm 'onna take you by my side and love you tall
'til the world ends
But don't you worry 'bout a thing
Cause I got you here with me
Hmm, don't you worry 'bout it
Just you and me floatin' through the empty, empty
Just you and me, oh, graces, oh grace, ah
When the world ends
We'll be burnin' one, ah
When the world ends
We'll be sweet, makin' love
Oh, you know, when the world ends
I'm gonna take you aside and say
"Let's watch it fade away, fade away"
When the world's done
Ours just begun, it's done
Ours just begun
We're gonna dive into the emptiness
We'll be swimming
I'm gonna walk you through the pathtless roads
I'm-a take you to the top of the mountain
That's no longer there
I'm gonna take you to bed and love you
I swear, like the end is near
I'm gonna take you up to
I'm gonna take it down on you
I'm gonna hold you like an angel, angel
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you when the world ends
I'm gonna hold you
When the world is over, we'll just be beg....
....begining. Oh when the world ends you and I
We be flying high above it all. Oh look at the new moon
You and me. Doie doie do. Oh when the world ends
It's happening now. And I am gonna be there with you somehow.
Yeah.
Walk into this room, oh
All eyes on me now
But i do not know the people inside
Look straight through me these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than i have to give away
Realize, realize what you are
What you've become just as i have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as i am
Afraid if we dance we might die
We'll mock the world, lest they say,
Why don't you know?
only when you give life, oh then you become what you are
The sea is unsparing
We are all drifting away, away from you, i pray for you now
Hoping to God on high is
Like clinging to straws while drowning,
Realize, realize what you are
What you've become just as i have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as i am
Afraid if we dance we might die
So fuck the world, lest they say,
Why don't you know?
Only when you give love, oh then you become what you are
What you are
is the beast in the lover's arms
what you are
is the devil in the sweet sweet kiss
what you are
is missing a piece
what you are
is a puzzle to me
What you've become just as i have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as i am
Afraid if we sing we might die
We'll mock the world, lest they say,
Why don't you trust me?
only when you give love, oh then you become what you are.
Why dont trust me?
Trust YOU!!!!
No trusting, trust you!!!!
What you are?
Little bit, little bit on.
What you are?
Never know, never know.
What you are?
I got caught with a smoking gun.
Up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin
Rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by
What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say
I was there when the bear
ate his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end
Knock knock on the door
Who's it for, there's nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friend
I don't understand at best
And cannot speak for all the rest
In the morning rise
A lifetime's passed me by
What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say
Every dog has its day every day has its way
Of being forgotten -
Mom it's my birthday
I was falling always
And now I'm falling this way
What will become of me
When I'm all far away
I'm spinning down
I'm spinning up
Upon this way
Wondering what will become of me
When I'm all far away
I'm spinning down
I'm all away
A greater way
What will become of me?
(Note: This is the original version of Pantala Naga Pampa)
So we wrote,
On precedents and angels,
We build a book,
We build a road out of nothing but a saying,
On governments and police we build a book,
Of how the things we know should be,
So when a man comes with a difference,
A woman comes with an idea,
We crush it down to nothing in the fear that we will lose it,
Open up the books,
I'm guilty of it, too,
Just like all of us,
The information flies without us through,
And say the way,
This may have leave my head run over,
And pass through a night so black I can't see you, oh,
Hope from the speeches spoken in,
Hope from the speeches made day in, day out,
With money paid,
And advertising raging,
A woman and a child sleep well as the day ends
Raising me up,
Raising me like a man, oh, man(?)
Oh mother everything good I've gained I've gained from you,
Oh and mother everything I know I've learned from you, oh,
But, the reign in the house so no one sees me,
Oh, should we brothers and sisters upheave it?
I read a book of a man most worshipped,
A man who most worshipped,
For ideas and for the birth of freedom he showed,
Well, in, oh, in twenty years,
He begged the revolutions come,
So that no pig headed bastard would steal you and I from.../my fun(?)
Rain in the eyes,
Rain in the mourning eye,
Oh, rain/reign in the love of my mother, my brothers,
And I hear the voices of the women calling loudly and (here, Holding, holding, holding),
And nothing should address this like our love for each other...
This land is your land,
This land is my land,
From California to New York Island,
From the redwood forest,
To the Gulf Stream waters,
This land belongs to you and me,
Rain/reign in the eyes that we should lead it,
And the brotherly love and go away,
And rain/reign the eyes that we should lead it...
I See that watermelon
Smiling through the fence
I wish that watermelon it was mine
Sometimes i think that old folks
Ain't got a lick of sense
When they leave that watermelon on the vine,
Well apples are sweet and peaches are good,
Rabbits, so very very fine
But give me oh give me oh,
How i wish you would,
Some of that watermelon smiling on the vine..
Hey reckless mind
Don't throw away your playful beginning
You and I let us fumble around in the touches
And be sure to
Leave all the lights on
So I can see the black cat changing colors
And walk under ladders
And travel my eyes over you
Hey we have found
Becoming one in a million Slip into the crowd
This question I found in the gap in the sidewalk
Keep all your sights on
The black cat changing colors
I can walk under ladders
And swim as the tides choose to turn me
And here I sit
Life goes on, end of tunnel, TV set
Spot in the middle
Static fade, statistic bit
And soon I fade away, fade away
This I admit
Taste so good, hard to believe an end to it
Smell touch feel
How could this rhythm ever quit
Bags packed on a plane
Hopefully to heaven
Shut up I'm thinking
I had a clue now it's gone forever
Sitting over these bones
You can read in whatever you're needing to
Keep all your sights on
The big bad black cat that's
Changing colors
It's not the colors that matter
But that they'll all fade away
This I admit
Seems so full
Hard to believe an end to it
Warehouse is bare
Nothing at all inside of it
Walls and halls have disappeared
My love I love to stay here
In the warehouse
Put on my blue suede shoes and I
Boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy
Won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now, security did not see him
They just hovered round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the king
Down in the jungle room
When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel
Now, they've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
The Reverend Green, he'd be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy, you got a prayer in Memphis
Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
So I sang with all my might
She said, "Tell me are you a Christian, child?"
And i said, "Ma'am, I am tonight!"
Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel
Put on my blue suede shoes and I
Boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Up and Away(Some Devil) - Dave Matthews
Everyday everyday with you
Every little thing you do the way you do
Little darling in your eyes
Got me up up and away, you get me high
I saw you there since then everyday
Is like i'm lost and thinking of you in everyway
Since i fell into your eyes
All i know is you get me high, you get me high
Like i'm gone up up and away
You take me baby
Oh you take me baby
And then you walk the way you walk
You blow my mind oh the way you walkin my way
And i fall into your eyes
Up up and away the way your eyes, oh baby the way you make me high
Before you came you know i never cared

Up up and away, up up and away, you take me baby
All for you i'd give it all, cause when i'm thinking of you and i'm flying above the world
How i wish i was drowning in you i must admit i'm so in love
You know
Please dont ever let me go you dont nothing to me but up up and away you go
Up up and away, aww you take me baby
So we're leaving
Friends of mine, brothers and sisters
Hoping that in times of trouble
And that we can lean a bit more
But lately, I swear, nightmare dreams
Are welling in me
And this ship is troubled
All because this ship we're on is sinking...
Hey, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Oh say, my love, you drive me to distraction
Oh, my love, do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
Our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me... celebrate...
Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short but sweet for certain
Hey, we climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change
Oh, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and, love, you quench my mind
Let's celebrate
Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short but
Sweet for certain
Hey, we climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we can...

We climb on two by two
To be sure that all these days continue
Things we can...
Oh, yeah...
Oh, we climb on two by two
Oh no, just to be sure
That all these days continue
Things we have not changed
Away...
Its not easy soulless
Trying to stay true enough, well
But you my dear, I tell you true enough, I'm true as I could be
But fall inside this
Stumbling down drunk I wrote that
I find myself more and more mistaking
Myself for someone else...
Hey, my love
I came to you with best intention
You lay down, you give to me just what I'm seeking
Say, my love you drive me to distraction
Hey, my love do you believe that we
Might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this

You and me right upside, we celebrate
Oh, celebrate we will
Cause life is short but sweet for certain
Hey, we climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change

Comes to that mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart, and love
You quench my mind, celebrate
Oh, Celebrate we will

To be sure these days continue
Things we can, right up to today

We climb on two by two
To be sure that all these days continue
Things we can, oh yeah
Just to be sure all these days continue
Things we cannot change
Trouble
Don't you see
That in your bed
I find no sleep
I confess you came because of me
Trouble get behind me now
Trouble let me be
Cold wet stone
Deep river bed
Once so clean and clear now runs red
You know to well
Was me that called you here
Trouble get behind me now
Trouble let me be
Oh sweet day
Leave me behind
I will never call on you
Until the day I die
Pray your mercy shine on me
Pray your mercy shine
Here I stand
Head bowed for thee
My empty heart begs you
Leave me be
But I confess
You know too well
That I have fallen
Pray your mercy give to me
Pray your mercy shine
Trouble
Trouble thee
Let your mercy shine
Cold wet stone
River deep and red
Your cold heart beats inside my head
You know too well
It was me that brought you here
Ohhh trouble get behind me now
Trouble let me be
I pray your mercy shine on me
Trouble let me be
if your arms are brittle beside you,
wrapped so soft your blood, is running
i'll be there
if your movin slowly, if we still get there
i'll be there
such a strong desire, like hunger
all you need to hope you keep your head
yeaaaah
is the slow hand quickens
what youve done with all those around you
hopeful always that someone will come and save you
i'll be there
to watch you saultry turning, seething
i'll be there
minutes hold on to hours, gets you twisting
all you need to hope you keep your head
yeaahhh uhhhh unnn
the slow hand quickens
how to leave it with the love you lost
you made them crawl to be without you,
the slow hand quickens
yes, end is empty, and the hour glass
i'll be there
to turn it over and over, in your head
so you keep the hope you'll get your day
yeaaah ohhhhh
as the slow hand quickens
you see too hard, to break, to cold
to burn, affriad your chance is gone
wires are corssed, your mouth is lost
you fear you've left it far too long,
the minutes pass, the hours are gone
so hard to find your way alone
the slow hands quicker
the slow hands quicker
aaahhahaaa
the slow hands quicker
Look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
she just goes stumbling through her memories
staring out onto gray street
But she thinks-
hey how did I come to this
I dreamed myself a million times around the worldthere's
but I can't get out of this place
OH there's a loneliness inside her
and she'd do anything to fill it in
and though its red blood bleeding from her now
felt like cold blue ice in her heart
when all the colors mixed together to gray
and it breaks her heart
ya know she wishes it was different
and she preys to god most every night
and though he's quite sure he doesn't listen
there's a tiny hope in her he might
she says i prey
oh but my prayers they fall on deaf ears
am i supposed to take it on myself to get out of this place
oh there's an emptiness inside her
and she'd do anything to fill it in
and though its red blood bleeding from her now
felt like cold blue ice in her heart
ya know she feels like kicking out all the windows
and setting fire to this life
she would change everything about her
using colors bold and bright
but all the colors mix together to gray
and it breaks her heart
it breaks her heart
to breathe
yeah yeah yeah
You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love
The space between the tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like, will it rain today?
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing
We're strange allies with warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you'll be
The space between the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
But will I hold you again?
Will I hold?
Look at us spinning out in the madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like the Devil in a church
In the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love is hope we don't take this ship down
But the space between where you're smilin' high
Is where you'll find me if I get to go
The space between the bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The space between our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain
Take my hand 'cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here, love is all we need, dear
The space between what's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The space between your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
The space between
(by Daniel Lanois)(lyrics are written by Josh Parker)
Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open,
I've run a twisted mile
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker
I could not see for the fog in my eyes
I could not feel for the fear in my life
And from across the great divide, In the distance I saw a light
Jean Baptiste walking to me with the Maker
My body is bent and broken by long and dangerous sleep
I can't work the fields of Abraham and turn my head away
I'm not a stranger in the hands of the Maker
Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters
Standing there with broken wings
I have seen the flaming swords
there over east of eden
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker...
Oh, river rise from your sleep...
Oh, river rise from your sleep...
Come in from the cold for a while
Everything will be alright
Come in from the noise for a time
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
For now, goodbye, friend,
Goodbye.
Fire
The sun is well asleep
Moon is high above
Fire grows from the east
How is this
Hate so deep
Lead us all so blindly killing killing
Fools are we
If hate's the gate to peace
This is the last stop
For raining tears
The only way to Peace
I don't fall for that
Raining tears
You're righteous so righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
Raining tears
Oh no
Gracious even God
Bloodied on the cross
Your sins are washed enough
Mother's cry
Is hate so deep
Must my baby's bones
This hungry fire feed
As smoke clouds roll in
The symphony of death
This is the last stop
Scream
Right is wrong now
Shut up you big lie
This black and white lie
You comb your hair to hide
Your lying eyes
You're righteous, so righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
Oh my...
But why your lie
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead and believe that you are the chosen one
This is the best stop
Here there's always blowing up
And I hope that we can break it down
So it's not so black and white
This is the last stop
Here there's more than is showing us
And I hope that we can break it down
So it's not so black and white
Black and white
You're righteous
You're righteous
You're righteous
You're always so right
And there you are nailing a good tree
Abd then say forgive me, forgive me
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead and believe that you are the chosen one
This is the last stop
Here there is more than growing up
And I hope that we can break it down
So it's not so black and white
The ingots are burning red
I'm working time and a half
Tomorrow I'll stay in bed
what a life I lead what a life
laugh in my face why don't you
laugh with the rest I know it well
I tripped and then I fell for
the beauty of Wynona
At night I toss and I turn
and I try and dial your number
It's changed and God only knows
where you been since last December
Where you been with that twisted smile
Laying another on the pile
It ain't easy when we go down for
the beauty of Wynona
Girls they skip double dutch
I saw you there prayed my God
But my prayers don't mean nothin much
with a heart that cannot be won
Rain in that wishing well
Right here in my own bed
It ain't easy when we go down for
the beauty of wynona
Big dog bites the bone
Life's too short to take all this
Not true when what's more:
Life's too short to mind
Just keep on with
The Sweet Up and Down
Unturning her cheek
Inside-out, her neat little pose
Dirty, little girl
Climbs out of the hole in her own
In this Sweet up and Down
I believe in love
But believe it's my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think it's just fine
Oh, the Sweet up and Down
Big pig turns to me
Pig he needs to eat like us all
Not far from the beast
Man sits down to feast on this part
Of the Sweet up and down
I believe in love
And believe it's my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think it's just fine
On the Sweet up and Down
BT...
Up and down, inside out
Outside in some you lose some
You win for us all
Up and down we go
Bad times choke us all once or twice
On this Sweet up and Down
I believe in love
But think nothing about it when you're not around
I believe in love
I think you're just fine
On the Sweet up and Down
I believe in love
But believe in my heart that keeps turning me down
I believe in love
I think you're just fine
every night stopping
it's raining
scary oh
so rage you again
your

So Won't you, Won't You, Won't you, please
Stir it up,
Little Darling, Stir it up,
Come on Baby, Stir it up,
Little Darling, Stir it up,
Yeah, Owww
*Instumental until Finish*
remember we use to dance and everyone wanted to be you and me I want to be too...what day is this, since the day you left me..what day is this.
sitting naked drinking coffee making plans to change the world
I See that watermelon
Smiling through the fence
I wish that watermelon it was mine
Sometimes i think that old folks
Ain't got a lick of sense
When they leave that watermelon on the vine,
Well apples are sweet and peaches are good,
Rabbits, so very very fine
But give me oh give me oh,
How i wish you would,
Some of that watermelon smiling on the vine..
And in plays to write the wire in
I’ll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I’ll come back again
Would you like to play
With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage
While you lie around
With hands up and down
So resigned you will fall down
While you around here play
Wild on the warm and far away
While you around here play
The days keep scrbbling themselves
In tidy lines
Would like to play
With a fool holding hands
With a one-eyed jack of spades
While on the deck they sing
All of the captain’s cards are kings
Still he and the queen are lost at sea
I hope it isn’t you and me
And I’ll be back ’round again
Yes I’ll walk in time with you old friend
And we’ll find that place
That we had danced so long ago
And in plays to write the wire in
I’ll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I’ll come back again
With this resigned
The letter I sign
One last kiss, one only, then I let you go
Heart for you, heart fallen, but you can't break my fall
I'm broken, don't break me, when I hit the ground
Some devil, some angel has got me to the bone
You said, always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said, always and forever is such a long and lonely time
Too drunken, still drinking
It's just the way I feel
It's alright, is what you told me
Cuz what we had was so beautiful
But I feel heavy, like floating, at the bottom of the sea
You said, always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said, always and forever is such a long, lonely time
Some devil is stuck inside me
Why can't I set it free
I wish I was dead, and you're breathing
Just so that you could know
Some angel is stuck inside me
Why can't I set you free
You said always and forever
Now I believe baby
You said always and forever, such a long, lonely time
Stuck inside of me
Last night, no way
I was gonna be left hungry
and then your daddy caught me sneakin' out your bed.
It's just a game I play
It's just I roll that way
Don't think sweet baby
I'm messing with your head.
I'm a smooth rider baby
You know I just keep moving on,
(I) don't know why I like to carry on the way I do
It's just that I'm in love with you
If you see me out there runnin'
And you hear the sheriffs comin'
Your daddy's crazy with that gun in his hand.
If you know they coming for me
And you know they running for me
You know my love won't let them keep me away
I'm a smooth rider baby
You know I just keep moving on,
I don't know why I like to carry on the way I do
It's just that I'm in love with you (Ahhhh)
If you see me out there running
And you If you hear the sheriffs coming
Your daddy's crazy with that gun in his hand.
If you know their coming for me
And you know they running for me
You know my love won't let them keep me away
I'm a smooth rider baby
Oh, I'm a smooth rider baby
Passing time with you in mind
It's another quiet night
Feel the ground against my back
CountING stars against the black
Think about another day
Wishing I was far away
Wherever I dreamed I was
You were there with me
(Chorus)
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, sister, keep me
I hope you always know it's true
I would never make it through
You could make the sun go DARK
Just by walking away
Playing like we used to play
Like it would never go away
I feel you beating in my chest
I'd be dead without
(Chorus)
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, sister, you keep me
I hope you always know it's true
I would never make it through
You could make the heavens fall
Just by walking away
(Chorus)
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
If i sing a song,
will you sing along,
If i sing a song,
will you sing along,
If i sing a song,
will you sing along,
or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
Ba baba dada baba....
If i tell you I'm strong,
will you play along,
If i tell you I'm strong,
will you play along,
If i tell you I'm strong,
will you play along,
Or would you see I'm as insecure as everybody else
Its like..
Ba Ba Baba Daba ba....
If I follow along,
does it mean I belong,
If I follow along,
does it mean I belong,
If I follow along,
does it mean I belong,
or will I keep on feeling different from everybody else?
Its life...
Ba Bada Ba Ba Dababa.. Oh Oh Oh
If I sing a song, will you sing along,
If I sing a song, will you sing that song,
or should I just keep singing right here by myself
If I sing a song, will you sing along,
If I sing a song, should i just keep singing right here by,
should I just keep singing by myself
If I sing a song, would you sing along,
Would you, Could you Sing along
Should I just keep singing right here by, by myself
Should I, Should I
Sing a song, (baba) Sing along, (baba)
Would you still sing along, (baba)
Please, or should I just keep right here singing by myself
If I still sing a song (baba), would you sing along,
Sing with me, or just Take it home,
or I'll just keep singing right here by myself
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we see and what we do
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Look at this crowd, nine thousand proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Oh, Look around about this round
About this merry-go-round around
If at all God's gaze upon us fall
His mischievous grin, look at him
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Oh, Look at me in my fancy car
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
Into my grave, God knows I'd save and save
Man, Take a look again, take a look again,
Things you have collected,
Well in the end it all piles up so tall
to one big nothing, one big nothing at all
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that your emotions can be
kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, i am innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
And you know how it is,
You seek up an emotion
And our cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
Going--ha, ha
Say, oh say
Late at night with TV's hungry child
his belly swells
Well, for the price of a coke or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungy eyes
Take a look again, take a look again,
Take a look again
Everyday things change,...basically they stay the same
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
And our cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil's not going--ha, ha
Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again...
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
Fall back again...
from "Some Devil"
Ah, comin' through the desert, I met a man
Who told me of his crazy plan
He'd been walking there for 20 days
He was gonna walk on for 20 more
Said, "How 'bout a drink or a bite to eat?"
I said, "No, my faith is all I need"
Sit and save me

recently I've been
all of content and dreaming I have been
'cause I been lately seeing
quite a bit of this woman live on my street
people stare and we just ignore everything
people stare and we just ignore them
and they go away, go away
she comes to me
i watch her drink
i watch her comb her hair
both say that we never before have
felt as recently
people stare and we just ignore
what's the use in hiding out
she says all the time
let their eyes do the worrying about
she and me go to places quiet
where we are quite alone
kiss and we hold together
we will be until we're done
people stare and we just ignore
what's the use in hiding out
she says all the time
let their eyes do the worrying about
walk and talk, we both do quite well
and kissing all the time, kissing all the time
and I'm looking forward to much more
so we dance our way around a rosy
we do our best to contain this thing inside everyone
so fear we fear and fear and speak to no one else
i say
i will give you water
if you will share your wine
and i will feed your heart
if you promise to feed mine
and we will dance together
bububaabaa
till the end of time
till the end of time
Whatcha got
whatcha got in your hand
the father said his son
I got the whole world here daddy
’tween my fingers and my thumb
will you take care of it please?
it's the only one
it'd take me a lifetime old man
to undo whatcha done
to undo whatcha done
oh c'mon now
boy think what would Jesus do
he'd shake his head like an angry mother
spoke the boy and say ‘I did what I could do'
will you take care of it please?
it's the only one ya got
it'll take ten lifetimes boy
to unto what I’ve done
boy shrugged walked away
the man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood alone thinking
One hand is bleeding
And the other hand holds a gun
While everything is open
Everything is shut down, down, down
Begin to ending is really
Just a go round, and round, and round
As I stand here, the ground beneath is nothing
More than one point of view
What you got, what you got in your hand?
Your secret's safe with me
Well I found the truth friend
Let me whisper in your ear
Take good care of it please
It's the only one there is
Can I twist please, can I give it just a little twist?
Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched that boy disappearing
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting
One hand is bleeding, and the other hand holds the gun
Everything is open
Now everything is shut down, down, down
No one is hoping, even if you know
You never know it all
The ground beneath is
Nothing more than my point of view
Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched, the boy was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting
One hand is open and the other hand holds the gun
Everything is undone
Or is everything coming down, down, down
No one is hoping, even if you know
You never know it all
Nothing more than my point of view.
Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
The man just stood there twisting
Lies and reason you give
Too much is not enough
Leave, what you see leave alone
Someone else to go
Romance holds you to tea, yeah
Sip it like you're typical
My love is what you make of it
Brothers and sisters, it's not enough...
Not enough
Talk, call, talking of leading the way
Won't ya give any lie?
Of all the ways
Won't ya lie with me?
Man, I've no Raven to see here
Flies the blackest way
What you give when you get nothing
Is everything you give
All been tossed away
Read, light your morning candles
Make your way
All wise men today grieve
It knows no better thing
All I leave here, a way to send you all down, down, down
All my worries is where the girl will be found, found, found
All my worries of all those things that I dreamed and dreamed and dreamed
All I leave is, I have to say
It's nothing more than my point of view
It's hard and cold tonight
You're warming by a fire
Oh, sweet juice
Drink tonight
Take me while I'm out
No, no Raven to see here
It imitates beauty well
Black bird from a dark Heaven
Oh, won't you keep living a lie
All God tossed away
Read while you know
You know things fade to grey
Oh, what came of grace
Oh, the morning and the rain
All my worries warn enough to roam, roam, roam
Fade away here, the girl will go round and round and round
Hey, love...
What was the greatest thing you
Moments in the cold rain
Here to say there's nothing great that you wouldn't do
Fly, Raven...
Won't you guide me?
Oh, what's the reason?
Won't you guide me?
Wait, now, what is the Raven?
Won't you come to me?
What you did with the same grace at all
Won't you keep living a lie
All been tossed away
Read all you'll have ever known
I believe
All I know today
Read all to believe
Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time
I against my troubles
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while I'm
in the front
the play on time is won
but the difficulty is coming here
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I wont tell you to stay
But I'm coming to much more
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
What if they came down crushing
Remember when I used to play for
all of the loneliness that nobody
notice now
I'm begging slow I'm coming here
Only waiting I wanted to stay
I wanted to play
I wanted to love you
I'm only this far
And only tomorrow leads my way
I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head
Please, I wouldn't pass this by
I would take any more than
What sort of man goes by
I will bring water
Why wont you ever be glad
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
why wont you run
in the rain and play
let the tears splash all over you
Hey man I noticed you were
You were crying
Ohh shame on you would leave it inside
Mind open your mind you say "no, well no, will I"
Hey cause yourself all alone
You will lie down
Oh, put yourself away from all your love
And you will soon lie down
Said I can leave it way open eyes
I go to you see me whine
See me lie here
Oh, call see me whine call you way down
The pain has been riddling me oh will I, yeah
Open, I will
I will leave it to destiny to choose which way I go to
I will leave destiny
To choose which direction it is that I'm gong to
My face open eye you leave I mean I
And I will
And we will leave most men, most men lie
I fear that we will go away most men, most men

Mama pyjama rolled outta bed, and go to the police station

And started the investigation
It was against the law, it was against the law
What your mama saw, it was against the law
Mama looks down and spits on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
And my papa said oy, if I ever get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of Detenton

My heart was made of broken bones
My Soul's a bag of stick and stone
And out along this dusty road
You have come my love to take me home
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
to hear me sing my love out loud (oh...)
You lightly lifted me away
Out of a darkness, cold and gray
And I work beneath the midday sun
My cool blue water you have come
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
to hear me sing my love out loud (oh...)
So take your place here next to me
And I'll take my place there next to thee
And no matter how far YOU may roam
Its by your side I make my home
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round

Lyrics:
Where you are, that's where I wanna be
And through your eyes, all the things I wanna see
And in the night, you are my dream
You're everything to me
Chorus:
You're the love of my life
And the breath in my prayers
Take my hand, lead me there
What I need is you here
I can't forget the taste of your mouth
From your lips the heavens pour out
I can't forget when we are one
With you alone I am free
Bridge:
Everyday, every night, you alone
You're the love of my life
Everyday, every night, you alone,
You're the love of my life
Outro:
We go dancing in the moonlight
With the starlight in your eyes
We go dancing till the sunrise
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night, when the north wind blows
In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones
Oh in excitement
home that we call this
we charge with an eye on the line
and we go over
oh proud and strong
we come down on babies and mothers
and leave them to die
while we plant all over
and call it home
So weep at life
and leave me pray there
but still I should call it home
native soil
has anyone stolen land
and I love it like no other
And now my grandfather say
open your charge
you charge when the trumpet calls
blow on your flute
pound on your drum
victory calls
oh no mother or child could
resist any strong beat
drive on west
we will plant we will grow
Wait and see my heart is bleeding
but still I should call it home
and teach my babies
my sons and my daughters
to love this place
and share it with no one
Then we started we ???? bounty
I will plant my wheat
I will hold my land here
I will protect my ones
I will protect my golden
I will stand up on top
and scream that I own land
But what if the spirit lies in this way
still should I call it home
and then I will tell
my sons and my daughters
to hold it so dear
and share it with all
then I will tell
my sons and my daughters
to hold it so dear
and share it with everyone
This land is your land
this land is my land
from California to the New York islands
from the red wood forests
to the gulf stream waters
this land was made for you and me
I see you now
Oh fill me now
I feel it's coming down
My voice cries out
And I only hope
That you're the one my voice will fall upon
I play my cards
But it's by the grace of love
That I play my cards at all
Come fill me up
Oh fill me now when I'm empty
When I'm all dried out
Rain, rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
Oh I see you now
I see them all, see them all
They line up to drink the blood
I see it now
I believe the devil
And the lord have been dancing all along
Rain, rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
I feel it now
I see you standing there like an angel
That fell down from above
I see you now
I don't believe that anything
But a billion years could make you what you are
Rain, rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
Rain, rain, rain down on me

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more
In my life I'll love you more...
If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat
If I were Roy Rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
It'd just be me and trigger
We'd go riding through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail
And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat
The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea
And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat
And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea
And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat
When was the point that you showed-
Move on to another love
Laughing with kindness
When did you decide to break
How much more will it take for two people to be happy?
But you lied
Looked me straight in the eye
As if you had nothing to hide
With no shame
As if we were still the same
But now I'm back in the game
I'm over you
When did you decide to go?
Were you ever going to let me know?
I was deciding
When did you decide to change?
What did I do that made our situation weary?
When you lied
You looked me straight in the eye
As if you had nothng to hide
With no shame
As if we still were the same
But now im back in the game
I'm over you
Who was the one to tell?
I thought I knew you way too well
But I didn't
The thought of you thinking of him
Assumptions made on a whim
Drives me crazy
'Cause you lied
Looked me staight in the eye
As if you had nothing to hide
(But I know you did)
With no shame
As if we still were the same
But now I"m back in the game
I'm Over you
I waited 'till I saw the sun,
I don't know why I didn't call,
I left you by the house of fun,
I don't know why I didn't call,
I don't know why I didn't call...
When I saw the break of day,
I wished that I could fly away,
Instead of kneeling in the sand,
Catchin teardrops in my hand,
My heart is drenched in white,
You'll be on my mind forever,
I'd cross the endless sea,
I would die in ecstasy,
But I'll be a bag of bones,
Driving down the road alone,
My heart is drenched in white,
And you'll be on my mind forever,
Something has to make you wrong,
I don't know why I didn't call,
I didn't call I feel as empty as a drum,
I don't why I didn't call,
I don't know why I didn't call,
I don't know why I didn't call...
So I can see you
Hold me down
If running's what's got into me
What cries my name
I won't set you away
Oh I'm older
Still the years give
And I'll walk into the big line
And I'll hold me
And soon I'm in the big door
And your deceit is growing big (?!?)
Oh, I know
That you rather be somewhere else
But I'm not here all alone
Trying to wish you so
Hold Me Down
If I've got the fear
Hold Me up
If running's what's gotten into me
Cause cry as I may
These tears won't wash you away
Though I'm older
I cry like a baby everyday
Then I come into the big line
Let it all go out in the wee hours of the morn'
I'm coming back a chased time (?)
And the fool will leap to bed (?)
Cry as I may
These tears won't wash you away
Then I'm --
And I'm all facing at an empty room again
No one's coming to the *****
I feel the **** is rising
Oh, *****
Cry as I may
These tears won't wash you away.
Ten years gone, I’ve dealt with this
Still hope the Lord forgive me my sin.
Ten years ago, down by the lake,
I dug my sweet love a watery grave
When I close my eyes I still see her face,
I’d give anything to take back that day.
Hello again, it’s been too long
Too long, too long
Hello again
You know you got what it is I want
Anyway I’m gonna take it back
Hello again, it’s been too long
Too long, too long
Hello again
Hello, hello, you know, hello
Then all the way again
Over and over
I’m gonna see your face
Beggin’ on that day there
Over and over
I’m gonna see her face
On that day, by the lake dying.
I pray to God, bring back that day
I am a waste of the air in my lungs.
Stay far from me, go and be safe
The serpent, not God, runs through my veins
Hello again, it’s been too long
Too long, too long
Hello again
You know you got what it is I want
Anyway I’m gonna take it back
Hello again, it’s been too long
Too long, too long
Hello again
You know, You know, Hello, Hello
Then all the way again
Over and over
I’m gonna see your face
Yeah, that day again
Over and over
I’m gonna see her face
Blown away, on that day I hate.
Yeah, yeah I scream...
With you on my mind so heavy and so hard
I don't know quite everything
You make me think of a better thing...
Better things to fill my day with
But they don't mean to go
Please don't be too bad with me, God
Please don't be too good...
Let some women's light, women's light
Chain my hands with me singing...
Hani Hani, come and dance for me
Whoa, whoa, sooner there
Hani Hani, come and dance for me
Only the brave
Hani Hani, come and dance for me
(feeling the night)
Hani Hani, come and dance for me
Lead me back home to life
You made Heaven turn to dirt
And dirt turn to dance on
Heaven come my way
Baby surely do
Maybe some moonlight
Maybe some, baby surely do
Maybe some moonlight
Say this say this...
Hani Hani, come and dance for me
Underneath the moonlight
Hani Hani come and dance for me
Hani Hani, come and dance for me
Come on, come on go
Hani Hani, come and dance for me
Give it back, give it back....
Oh man, I can't talk
A man was tall and once tore a piece of freedom for us all
When, then, you least expect it
Man can cut from of his own heart
For us all, that man
Don't believe it, oh yeah....
God, two men slice and dice each other up in his place
They don't believe it...
Well leave it
Leave it lying, leave it lying, leave it lying
Got me singing
Hani Hani, come and dance for me
Oh, look at how she listens,
She says nothing of what she thinks...
she just goes stumbling through her memories
staring out onto grey street.
But she thinks hey,
how did I come to this?
I dreamed myself a thousand times around the world
but I can't get out of this place.
There's an emptiness inside her
and she'd do anything to fill it in
but all the colors mix together to grey
and it breaks her heart.
How she wishes it was different.
She prays to God most every night
and though she swears he doesn't listen,
there's still a hope in her he might.
She says, I pray,
but they fall on deaf ears.
Am I supposed to take it on myself
to get out of this place?
There's an loneliness inside her
and she'd do anything to fill it in
and though it's red blood bleeding from her now
it feels like cold blue ice in her heart
when all the colors mix together to grey
and it breaks her heart.
There's a stranger speaks outside her door,
says take what you can from your dreams,
make them as real as anything.
Oh, with it, take the work out of the courage.
And she says please, there's a crazy man,
he's creeping outside my door.
I live on the corner of grey street and the end of the world.
There's an emptiness inside her
and she'd do anything to fill it in
and though it's red blood bleeding from her now
it's more like cold blue ice in her heart.
She feels like kicking out all the windows
and setting fire to this life.
It could change every thing about her
using colors, bold and bright,
but all the colors mix together to grey
and it breaks her heart.
I feel for the light
Your glory was lost that night
And no mind can't get me right
And now I'm praying that you'll find me out
Stone, stone has pulled me down
But my faith has got me bound to your grey blue eyes
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Don't forget my broken heart
You remember it from the start
You made it and it's all a part
Of your grey blue eyes
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
You're gone and I know I'm dead
I've lost my way
Can't find me in your grey blue eyes
Grey blue eyes
Grey blue eyes
Grey blue eyes
Let's begin
It started with a plan
To get out of here
Said "hey comin' "
Cuz the weather don't wait for no one
And sure not us
Seems so precious
Or maybe we're just tired
And bored with our lives
Because it
Seems so sinful at the same time
5 miles out of town
She turns to me and says
"Is it too late to turn around?"
Cuz I think I forgot my things
And I think we forgot our heads
And it can't get too far without that
Seems so precious
Or maybe we're just tired
And bored with our lives
Because it
Seems so sinful at the same time
Seems so precious
Or maybe we're just tired
And bored with our lives
Because it
Seems so sinful at the same time
Seems so precious
Or maybe we're just tired
And bored with our lives
Because it
Seems so sinful at the same time
She turned around
I seen that face as I watched her say
Goodbye.....
Goodbye........

I hope I find you feeling healthy
I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today on our way into the night
we find love is hiding there in the shadows in the darkness
baby you and I could bring it to the light
love when I approach the tears they fall like rain

stop only the old and wise with clouded eyes
you cant see what I can
but I blindly throw my faith
to the face of the next pretty girl to come my way
so here we are all of us stand around
we're leaning heavy on each other
always wondering what is it lies behind the worried eyes of one another
I believe its love thats hiding there inside you and inside me
but baby the two of us could bring it to the light
love when I approach the tears they fall like rain
you tell me baby your hearts into a thousand pieces dies
stop only old and wise with clouded eyes
you can't see what I can
but I blindly throw my faith
to the face of the next good thing that comes my way
I say its love thats inside here
come on now and share it rich
now maybe you and I could bring it to the light
love when I approach these tears they fall like rain
you tell me your hearts into a thousand pieces

love baby love baby out of all the dark out into the light

Neon shines through smoky eyes tonight
It’s 2 AM, I’m drunk again
It’s heavy on my mind
It’s heavy on my mind
I could never love again
So much as I love you
Where you end where I begin
Is like a river flowing through
Take my heart, take my eyes
'Cause I'll need them no more
If never again they’ll fall upon
The one I so adore
'Scuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
'cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I’ll move on
One drink to remember, and another to forget
How could I ever dream to find a love like this again
One drink to remember, and another to forget...
Excuse me please, one more drink
Would you make it strong
'Cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I’ll move on
One more drink and ill move on...
You think of things impossible
Then the sun refuse to shine
I woke with you beside me
Your cold hand lay in mine
'Scuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
'Cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I’ll go...
'Scuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
'Cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart
My Grace is Gone
Another drink and I'll move on
One more drink and I'll move on
One more drink my Grace is Gone.

It's been three nights or so, since I last slept.
Just thinking about the promises you never kept.
And all the times I tried so hard to leave.
In response to words I never could believe.
They told me you're crazy,
They said that you've lost your mind.
And I've got no reason,
to think otherwise.
You told me you loved me,
but I guess that you told me lies.
Now I see the real you,
that hides behind your deep blue eyes.
Wait,
And all our time has seemed to fade.
In the end your colors changed.
And we're now getting over.
Here's all the pictures you never wanted to take.
With your toothless smile that always seemed so fake.
And all the notes you wrote when you got bored.
I don't think I need to read them anymore.
It's all to confusing,
When I don't know where to begin.
It'd almost be easy,
If only we could pretend.
But how could I feel you,
When you'd never let me in.
And how am I to know where you're coming from.
If you never tell me where you'd been.
Wait,
And all our time has seemed to fade.
In the end your colors changed.
And we're now getting over.
Lie for a lie.
But I'm not the unforgiving type.
It'll probably just take a while.
Wait for me to get my feet grounded.
Find the love that you never found in me.
I find love on my feet, in places you'll never be.
Wait til' i find my place in the sky and finally see through my clear eyes,
I soon will realize it's time for me to say good-bye.
You told me you loved me,
but I guess that you told me lies.
I'm so sick of the real you,
that hides behind your deep blue eyes.
They told me you're crazy,
They said that you've lost your mind.
And you have showed me nothing,
To prove them otherwise.
Wait,
And all our time has seemed to fade.
In the end your colors changed.
And we're now getting over.
Again,
Looking back on time we'd spent.
It's funny to remember when
we used to be together.
Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here
What were you expecting
Not room for both
Just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say
You feel a right to remain
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say
Your father's spirit still lives in this place
I will silence you
Here's the hitch
Your horse is leaving
Don't miss your boat
It's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside for me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
'Cause you're all dead now
I live with my justice
I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
I live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water here...
Come out, come out, no use in hiding.
Come now, come now, can you not see
There's no place here, what were you expecting?
No room for both, just room for me.
So you will lay your arms down,
Yes, I will call this home.
Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving.
Don't miss your boat, it's leaving now.
And as you go I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.
I have no time to justify to you,
Fool, you're blind, move aside for me.
All I can say to you my new neighbor,
You must move on or I will bury you.
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here, but I have retired them.
I can breathe my own air and I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls,
I'll build Heaven and call it home.
Cause you're all dead now.
I live with my justice
And I live with my greedy need
And I live with no mercy
And I live with my frenzied feet
And I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
And I live with the notion that I don't need anyone but me
Don't Drink the Water
Don't Drink the Water
Blood in the water
Don't Drink the Water
It's All We Say,
It's All We Say,
And So We Say,
Bartender Please,
I Know It's Late,

She was his girl, he was her boy-friend,
Soon be his wife, and make him her husband.
A suprise on the way, anyday anyday
One healthy little gigglin', dribblin', baby boy.
The wise men came, three made their way,
To shower him with love, while he lay in the hay.
Shower him with Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love was all around
Not very much of his childhood was known,
kept his mother Mary worried, always out on his own.
He met another Mary, who, for a reasonable fee,
less than reputable was known to be.
His heart was full of Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love was all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed to his tree,
He said, "Oh daddy-o. I can see how it all soon will be"
I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene,
Instead I fear I've spilled, the blood of my children all around
the blood of my children all around,
the blood of my children's all around
So I'm told or so the story goes,
the people he knew were less than golden-hearted.
Gamblers and robbers; Drinkers and jokers,
all soul searchers, like you and me, like you and me.
Rumors insisted he soon would be,
for his deviations, taken into custody.
By the authorities, less informed than he.
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Searchin for Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love is all around
Preperations were made for his celebration day.
He said, "Eat this bread and think of it as me,
Drink this wine and dream it will be
the blood of our children all around
the blood of our children's all around,
The blood of our children's all around
Father up above,
Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love is all around
Father up above
Why in all this anger do you fill me up wtih love
Fill me - Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love...And the blood of our children's all around.
She was his girl; he was her boyfriend
She'd be his wife and make him her husband
A surprise on the way, any day, any day
One healthy little giggling dribbling baby boy
The wise men came, three made their way
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay
Shower him with love love love
Love love love

Father up above, why in all this anger do you fill
Me up with love, love, love
Love love love
Love love was all around

Me up with love, fill me love love love
Love love love
all you need is love

crazy as i may
make my way through this world, oh
it's for no one but me to say
what direction i should turn in now
i am the captain of this ship
curious hands and fingertips
day after day
how i long for you, my love
how i long. . .
strange but it seems
like there's a mutiny brewing inside of me now
but i don't want your pity
only the promise that you'll stay with me tonight
and i am the captain of this ship
curious hands and fingertips
day after day
oh, how i long for you, like crazy

Crazy as I may
Make my way through this world, oh
It's for no one but me to say
What direction I should turn in now
'Cause I am the captain of this ship
Wanting eyes and kissing lips
The same as it was
And will remain until I'm done
And gone
Strange, but it seems
There's a mutiny brewing inside of me now
I don't want your pity
Just the promise that I'll be alright
'Cause I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was
And will be until I'm gone
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer
Still think it's strange
I won't be long for here
Oh, I know that I feel, oh
Wait and go again
Again...
Oh, look, I'm buried
Like a cancer eating away inside of me
I don't want your pity
Only the promise that I'll be okay now
But I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was before here
Here, back
After all
Why should I be hypnotized
By the promise of a long life?
Why should I hold hope
In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by?
Why should I lean everything upon...
I won't be here long...
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer
Still seems a truth
I won't be long for here
Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this
On now your lips
I'm drowning
I am the Captain of...
Oh...
But, I'll be okay after all.

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper
Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange
And all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way
Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut, cut
On the fence, could not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
it's gracious of you
to hold your arms
throw your charms around me
it's gracious of you
to lead me by the hand
I really love you
it's gracious of you
to be by my side, rolling wild
reeling thunder
it's gracious of you
come again, come again to me
and save me the need to say goodbye
and why would I ask of you, need to say goodbye
say it, say it, oh, I don't know how to say this,
please, here leave me warm, hollowed and open.
(yodeling.... ) one more.... (more yodeling)

share the time again
I spend with you
a friend is always good to have
but a lovers kiss is better than angels raining down at me
I dream of you at times when your by my side
dream you're not just like you are
so troubled and doubling my pain
just one more tear
you shed for me
I wish that I could climb inside your mind
and spend some time and hug and hold you
and mold you into what I'd like
but no I can't do this
just a kiss to spend a while by you
and your familiar smile and voice
I lay awake
then you lean back and smiling
on you
most everything you do for me, I say
and the while let's make our way
and feel warm
in the middle of this storm with you

and you were my friend

I dream of you at times when your by my side
Dream you're not just like you are
So troubled and doubling my pain
Just one more tear
You shed for me
I wish that I could climb inside your mind
And spend some time and hug and hold you
And mold you into what I'd like
But no I can't do this
Just a kiss to spend a while by you
And your familiar smile and voice
I lay awake
Then you lean back and smiling
On you
Most everything you do for me, I say
And the while let's make our way
And feel warm
In the middle of this storm with you
Like an angel
Oh, what the friends say is good is right
I say
When you were again
And you were my friend
Before the lie
This one
Say yes I do
And with you
Sometimes
But while I do my best
With all the rest I leave to you
Can't wait for the hour
And when two things become this
All this trouble from a kiss from you, I'll do it
And then you come up smiling
And I'm thrown
Into I get a little storm with you, I'll do it
Always
Lover, line up and yeah
The road to you is long and I've been on it for a while
And a need a warm embrace
I'll take a break
And say I want to leave you awake
Always
I feel tired...
Hey my dear,
I know your schemeing
I wish you'd take your lies elsewhere don't give them to me
Oh my friend,
As old as you are,
How could I trust you as far as I control you,
Brother...
And to you my love,
My princess baby,
If I die be sure to eat me up,
Oh I can stay with you,
Take my flesh, and eat it all
Drink my blood for every pound you can, my love
We reconsile our differences,
When I saw god and the devil walking on and on,
We reconsile our different tastes,
When I saw the devil swimming in the lord's swimming pool
So drink this wine,
And god forgive him,
Your fallen angel is doin' fine,
He's got you on the board,
Oh then god,
This teenager,
Oh if he had given rise to him,
What would we care,
If there were no Judas or there were no Devil,
Where would god and his little boy be now?
Nowhere I swear,
And now we say,
That seems extreme,
When all that we do is reconsile our differences here,
Yeah...
Share the time again
I spend with you
A friend is always good to have
But a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down at me
I dream of you at times when your by my side
Dream you're not just like you are
So troubled and doubling my pain
Just one more tear
You shed for me

Been so tired, throw away my surrounding

Soon we move through the flood and we fade away
Lie about it,

Lean upon me,
I'll lean upon you,
We'll be okay
Oh, I lay myself at your feet laughing
Hope mine eye made of the soul choir
Lean upon me,

Don't burn the pig
Throw it in the water again
See if it float or sink
Don't burn the pig
Crazy as I may
Make my way through this world
It's for no one but me to share
What direction I turn in
'Cause I am the captain of this ship
Eyes, eyelids, and kissing lips
The same as it was and should be when you will
You give
Roll me back again
You give
Roll me away
You give
Roll the homes back again
You give
The same respect for them that turn and change
And don't you see the strange way
That the girl dances away a day
Even ridiculed display
Won't stop her feet from moving
Because I am the captain of this ship
Eyes, eyelids, and kissing lips
Just the same as it was away (?)
Maybe it's strange
I live a lie
I'm going back again
Oh, turn back
The lights from yourself
And turn the spotlight down
Or turn it on yourself
Because you are the captain of this ship
Eyes, eyelids, and kissing lips
Just the same as for all
I reign and waiting to be
Why should I be hypnotized
By someone else's lie?
Why should I
Oh, take time and pride in
What someone else believes?
Oh, tell me go on
Won't you roll on then maybe you
You give
Roll the backside on the wind
You give
Roll me away
You give
More than ever seen before
You give
Say, It may be all I can
Same as it was
And made me believe my head, my whole
Oh my head lay back on the seating
Been so tired throw away my surrounding
Like the sun and moon take for granted
Soon we move through the flood and we fade away
Lie about it
Cry about it
We'll be ok
Lean upon me
I'll lean upon you
We'll be ok
Oh I lay myself at your feet laughing
Hope mine eye made of the soul choir
Lean upon me
I'll lean upon you

Lie about it

Soon fade away
Lie about it
Cry about it

Lean upon me

Share the time again
I spend with you
A friend is always good to have
But a lover's kiss is better than
angels raining down at me
I dream of you at times when your by my side
Dream you're not just like you are
So troubled and doubling my pain
Just one more tear
You shed for me
I wish that I could climb inside your mind
And spend some time and hug and hold you

The road to you is long and I've been on it for a while
And a need a warm embrace
I'll take a break
And say I want to leave you awake
Always
I feel tired...
I call you up
You pick up
You call my bluff
On the card to love
You hold too close
Your hands to your chest
I can read your eyes
But I confess
It's lonely far from you, oh
Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you
To take my hand
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you?
Wherever you are
I swear
You be my angel
I play my cards the best I can
But I lose my luck when you're not here
My darling heart
Won't you please give in?
I may be strong
But I want you back again
When you're not here it's hard to pretend
It's all alright again
When you're not here love it's hard to pretend
It's all alright but still
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I run after you like I do, I love you?
Whatever you are
I swear
You be my angel, you
Watch the deck
Count your cards
Makes no sense
That I'm always losing
When you're gone
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you
Whatever you are
I swear
You'll be my angel, you
We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
You could fry an egg
Remember you were talking
I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertip
Wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
Little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay, stay, stay for awhile
Later on the sun began to fade
Then the clouds rolled over our heads
And it began to rain
Of we were dancing mouths open
Splashing tounge taste
For a moment this good time would never end
You and me
You and me
Just wasting time
I was kissing you
You were kissing me love
From good day into a moonlight
Now a night so fine
Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile
Wasting time
I shall miss these things
When it all rolls by
What a day
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile
Hey love
Oh just groping you
Rolling in the mud
Stay a while
Come on love
Whanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile
#36
Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Oh, I say, oh, look here
Oh, it's a lovely night
And I feel fine, I feel alright tonight
And I see you there
I remember callin' love
Facing, oh, sittin' by yourself
But I don't want to see you blue, no
I don't want to see you in the corner by yourself
Come on now, girl, lovely, lovely, lady
How 'bout you, how 'bout you, how 'bout you
Come and dance with me?
Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me...
Boyd...
(Scat lesson)
Boyd...
Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me...
Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me...
Oh, I love tonight
I must go sit down, take the girl of the night
To warm you up
How much time, how much time
Should I take from the night
To warm you up?
Sweet honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me...
Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me...
"The lovely ladies..."
I hear more than I'd like to
So I boil my head in a sense of humor
Laugh at what I cannot change
And I throw it all on the pyre again
Go then and do this, I'd do it for you
When all that I want is so badly to be by myself again
It's going to drive me right out of my brain
Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
Drive in, drive out, I'll come back again
Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
Drive in, drive out
I don't care if we all turn to waste
So when I beg you, avoid me
?Cause I smell of dirt, hungry hungry boy
But you won't leave me all alone
The boy won't go
Sooner or later we're gone
Sooner or later I'm gone because, because
Sooner or later we're done
Sooner away
Ooh, my head is pounding now
God has all but left me behind
Not a note of worry
I'm going to drive in and drive out again
Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
Drive in, drive out, I'll come
Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
Drive in, drive out
Here oh, I'm over this arrangement around here
Oh emptiness sounded so good
I want to drive you right into my world
Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
Drive in, drive out, I'll come
Drive in, drive out, I'm leaving
Haha, look at that girl
Woman...
Not enough, never too much
The woman look just like love
Rolling stone gathers no moss
But leave a trail of busted stuff
I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I take what she's giving up
I know she's gonna leave this broken man behind her
I take what she's giving up
Sweet sugar lips push from the hips
Woman looks just like love
Without a care she floats above
She got me down here looking up
I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I take what she's giving up
I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind
Yeah, yeah...
She me one
She my one
She my one
Little love
When she move
She move so cool
She make me feel just like a fool
But inside where the devil hides
Women looks just like love
I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind
I take what she's giving up, oh
I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her now
I get what she's giving up, oh
I know she's gonna leave her broken man behind
Hey, yeah...
She my one
She my one
She the one for me
Yeah...
I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind
Yeah, yeah...
Story of a man,
Who decided not to breathe.
Turned red, purple, then blue.
Colorful indeed.
No matter how his friends begged,
Well, he would not concede,
And now he's dead.
You see, cause everybody knows,
You got to breathe.
But, oh God,
Under the weight of life,
Things seem brighter on the other side...
Lighter on the other side...
Another one: See this monkey sitting on a tree,
One day, decided to climb down,
And run off to the city.
Look at him now, Tired and drunk
And living on the street.
As good as dead.
You see, a monkey should know,
Stay up your tree.
But, oh God,
Under the weight of life,
Things seem brighter on the other side.
Oh, God,
But under the weight of life,
Things seem much brighter on the other side.
No way, no way, no way.... out... of here...
Another one: A big eyed fish,
Yeah, swimming in the sea,
Oh, how he dreamed.
He wants to be a bird,
Swooping, diving through the breeze.
One day, he caught a big blue wave,
Up onto the beach,
And now he's dead.
You see, a fish's dream,
Should stay in the sea.
But, oh God,
Under the weight of life,
Things seem brighter on the other side.
No way... no way...no way...out... of here...
And if I go, before I'm old
Oh brother of mine, please don't forget me if I go
And if I die, before my time
Oh sweet sister of mine, do not regret me if I die
Bartender, please fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus
That set Him free after three days down
Bartender, please fill my glass deep for me
With the wine you gave Jesus
That set Him free after three days down
On bended knees, I pray, Bartender please
On bended knees, God please
Oh, and if this gold, should steal my soul away
Oh mother of mine, please redirect me if this gold...
Bartender, please fill one up for me
Of the kind you gave Jesus
That set Him free after three days down
On bended knees, I pray, Bartender please
On bended knees, Bartender please
If I go
Before I'm old
Oh, brother of mine
Please don't forget me if I go
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
Oh, and if I die
Before my time
Oh, sweet sister of mine
Please don't regret me if I die
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
I'm on bended knees, I pray
Bartender, please
When I was young, I didn't think about it
Now I just can't get it off my mind
I'm on bended knees
Father, please
If all this gold
Should steal my soul away
Oh, dear mother of mine
Please redirect me if this gold...
Bartender, you see
The wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree
It's roots deep, deep in the ground
Bartender, you see
The wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the Devil's tree
It's roots deep, deep in the ground
In the ground...
I'm on bended knees
Oh, Bartender, please
I'm on bended knees
Father, please
When I was young, I didn't dream about it
Now I think about it all the time
I'm on bended knees
Oh, Bartender, please
Oh we were walking
Just the other day
and it was so hot outside ah
You could fry an egg
Remember you were talking and i
I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and I caught it at your chin
Lick my fingertips
we were, we were, just
Wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
A little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay stay stay stay stay for awhile
Then later on
The sun began to fade
Then the clouds rolled over our heads
And it began to rain
Oh we were dancing mouths open
we were splashing and the tongue taste
For a moment this good time would never end
You and me you and me
Just wasting time
I was kissing you (kissing you)
You were kissing me love
From good day into the moonlight
Now a night so fine
Makes us wanna stay stay stay stay stay for awhile
Makes you wanna, makes you wanna
Makes me wanna, Makes me wanna
Dont it make you wanna
Wasting time
I shall miss this thing
When it all rolls by
What a day
Wanna stay stay stay stay stay for awhile
Hey love
Oh just groping you
Rolling in the mud
Stay a while
Well Come on
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy,
Sunshine almost always makes me high.
Some people drink, some people don't,
Some people think, some people won't.
Some people like to smoke a bowl, some don't,
Some people do, and some people don't.
It's okay, because it's meant to be that way...
Some people do, some people don't.
Some people do, some people won't.
Some people do, some people don't. (repeat)
Recently I've been
All of content and dreaming I have been
'Cause I been lately seeing
Quite a bit of this woman live on my street
People stare and we just ignore,
And we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away, go away
She comes to me,
I watch her drink,
I watch her comb her hair.
Both say that we never before have
Felt as recently
People stare and we just ignore
What's the use in hiding out
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the (worrying)
She and me go to places quiet
Where we are quite alone
Kiss and we hold together
We will be until we done
People stare and we just ignore
What's the use in hiding out
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying
Walk and talk, we both do quite well
And kissing all the time, all the time
Always looking forward to much more
So we dance away, and dance around our love all day.
We do our best to contain this thing inside everyone. So fear we fear and speak to no one else...
I say, 'I will give you water,
If you will share your wine,
And I will feed your heart,
If you promise to feed mine.'
And so we will dance together,
Until the end of time,
Until the end of time.
want to pack your bags something small
take what you need & we disappear
without a trace, we'll be gone, gone
The moon & the stars follow the car
& then when we get to the ocean,
we're going to take a boat to the end of the world...
all the way to the end of the world
oh and when the kids are old enough
we gonna teach them to flyyyyyyy
you & me together we can do anything, baby
you & me together yes, yes
you & me together we can do anything, baby
You & me together yes, yes
You & I we're not tied to the ground,
not falling but rising like, rolling around
eyes closed above the roof tops
eyes closed we're gonna spin through the stars
our arms wide as the sky, we gonna ride the blue
all the way to the end of the world,
to the end of the world
oh and when the kids are old enough
we gonna teach them to flyyyyyyy
(chorus)
you & me together could do anything, baby
you & me together yes, yes
you & me together we can do anything baby
You & me toghter yes, yes
we can always look back at what we did
always remembering you & me baby
But right now it's you and me forever girl
you know we could do better than anything that we did
you know that you and me we could do anything
you & me together c' do anything, baby
you & me together yeah, yeah
two of us together we c' do anything, baby
you and me together, yeah yeah
the two of us together yeah, yeah
the two of us together, we can do anything baby
You know the kind of song that'll get you high
When the moon's so big it looks close enough to touch the sky
When the sun don't reign and the moon won't shine
I got a little thing that'll get you by, just a little while
When you turn it on it's gonna blow your mind
Head over heels you go,
look at you, look at you, fly
Dance and sing,
swing baby, swing
You my queen....you
You swing like a demolition ball
Break them walls down
Go floatin' across the floor
And when you get to the end
You want to start at the beginning again.
I want to write a song that'll get you high
I want to find the words that'll make everything feel alright now
So in another world and another time, that'll come along
I'll be the kind of man that'll do you right, Right by you
When you turn it on it's gonna blow your mind
Head over heels you go, look at you, look at you, fly
Dance and sing,
Swing baby, swing
You my queen.....you
You swing like a demolition ball
Break them walls down
Go floatin' across the floor
And when you get to the end
You want to start at the beginning again.
It's gonna blow my mind,
Head over heals for you.
Look at you, look at you, fly.
Dance and sing,
swing baby, swing
You my queen....you
You swing like a demolition ball
Break them walls down
Go floatin' across the floor
And when you get to the end
I grew from monkey into man
then I crushed 15 million with a wave
of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
'til I was a slave and master at the same
damn time
It's why I am It's why I am
Why I am still here dancing with
the Groogrux King
Out of my head and
into the room
hello
A king of men it makes
no sense
when I bow to the priest
while I worship the witch
It's why I am always the
one to make you smile
It's why I am still a
snake in the woodpile
why I am still here
dancing with the Groogrux King
Out of my head and
into the room
so when my ghost
takes me from you
you can remember the
fool that I am
Don't cry baby
don't cry
It's the lose and the win of the
world
wrong and right us and them of
the world
then you and the me of the world
only one way out of the world
It's why I am unlikely to agree
It's why I am climbing out of my
monkey tree
why I am still here dancing
with the Groogrux King
we'll be drinking big
whiskey while we dance
and sing
and when my story ends
it's gonna end with him
heaven or hell i'm going
there with the Groogrux
King
It's why I am the apple of
your pretty eye
It's why I am a snake in
the woodpile
why I am still here
dancing with the Groogrux
King
Out of my head and into
the room so when my
ghost takes me from you
you can remember the fool
that I am
When the world ends
Collect your things
You’re coming with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
Watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
We’ll be lying in bed
I’m gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the building’s crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burning, we’ll be churning
You know, love will be our wings
The passion rises up from the ashes
When the world ends
When the world ends
You’re gonna come with me
We’re going to be crazy
Like a river bends
We’re going to float
Through the criss cross of the mountains
Watch them fade to nothing
When the world ends
You know that’s what’s happening now
I’m going to be there with you somehow, oh...
I’m going to tie you up like a baby in a carriage car
Your legs won’t work cause you want me so
You just lie spread to the wall
The love you got is surely
All the love that I would ever need
I’m going to take you by my side
And love you tall, ‘til the world ends
Oh, but don’t you worry about a thing
No, 'cause I got you here with me
Don’t you worry about a
Just you and me
Floating through the empty, empty
Just you and me
Oh, graces
Oh, grace
Oh, when the world ends
We’ll be burning one
When the world ends
We’ll be sweet makin love
Oh, you know when the world ends
I’m going to take you aside and say
Let’s watch it fade away, fade away
And the world’s done
Ours just begun
It's done
Ours just begun
We’re gonna dive into the emptiness
We'll be swimming
I’m going to walk you through the pathless roads
I’m going to take you to the top of the mountain that’s no longer there
I’m going to take you to bed and love you, I swear
Like the end is here
I’m going to take you up to
I’m going to take you down on you
I’m going to hold you like an angel, angel
I’m going to love you
I’m going to love you
When the world ends
I’m going to hold you
When the world is over
I walk into this room
Oh, all eyes on me now
But I do not know the people inside
They look straight through me, these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than I have to give away
Realize, realize what you are...
What you've become,
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
I don't hear you
Just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world
Live safe, say why
Don't you know if you live life
Then you become what you are
The seasons sparing
We're all drifting away
Away from you
I pray for you now
Hoping to God on high
Is like clinging to straws
While drowning, oh
Realize, realize what you are...
What you've become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
I don't hear you
Just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world
Live safe, say why
Don't you know
When you live life
Then you become what you are
What you are
Is the beast in a lover's arms
What you are
Is the devil in the sweet, sweet kiss
What you are
Is missing a piece
What you are
Is a puzzle to me
What you've become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
I don't hear you
Just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
What the world gives to you
Don't you know
When you give life
Then you become what you are?
Don't trust me
Trust you...
Up to you...
I will bring you water,
If you will bring me wine.
I will treasure your heart my love,
As long as you will treasure mine.
We pretend we live forever,
Till the end of time.
I will bring you water,
if you will bring me wine.
Oh we could live forever,
Until the end of time.
See I'm leaving
This warehouse frightens me
Has me tied up in knots
Can't rest for a moment
Soon I'm going I'm slipping slow away
Hoping to find something better
Than I've got inside of here
The warehouse slips away
Hey reckless mind
Don't throw away your playful beginnings
You and I will fumble around in the touches
And be sure to
Leave all the lights on
So we can see the black cat changing colors
And we can walk under ladders
And we can swim as the tide turns you around and around
Hey we have found
Becoming one in a million
Slip into the crowd
This question I found in a gap in the sidewalk
Keep all your sights on
Hey the black cat changing colors
And you can walk under ladders
And swim as the tide choose to turn you
And here I sit
Life goes on
End of tunnel, TV set
Spot in the middle
Static fade, statistical bit
And soon I'll fade away, I'll fade away
This I admit tastes so good
Hard to believe an end to it
Smell touch feel
How could this rhythm ever quit
Bags packed on a plane
Hopefully to heaven
Shut up I'm thinking
I had a clue now it's gone forever
Sitting over these bones
You can read in whatever you're needing to
Keep all your sights on
Yeah man the black cat changing colors
When it's not the colors that matter
But that they'll all fade away
This I admit
Seems so good
Hard to believe an end to it
Warehouse is bare
Nothing at all inside of it
The walls and halls have disappeared
They disappear
My love I love to stay here
My love I love to stay here
In a corner I was wondering
If a change would be better than this
And then I worry
Maybe things won't be better than they have been
Here in the warehouse
At the warehouse
How I love to stay here
At the warehouse
Every man and woman
Get alive
That's our blood down there
Seems poured from the hands of angels
But trickle into the ground
Leaves the warehouse bare and empty
And my heart's numbered beat
Still echo in this empty room
And fear wells in me
But nothing seems good enough to defend
we were above
you standing underneath us
we were not yet lovers
dragons were smoked
bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy
eat, drink and be merry
for tomorrow we die
'cause we're tripping Billies
we're wearing nothing
nothing but out shadows
shadows falling down on the beach sand
remembering once,
out on the beaches we wore
pineapple grass bracelets
so why would you care
to get out of this place
you and me and all our friends
such a happy human race
'cause we're tripping Billies
we are all sitting
legs crossed round a fire
my yellow flame she dances
tequila drinking oh our
minds will wonder
to wondrous places
so why would you care
to get out of this place
you and me and all our friends
such a happy human race
eat, drink and be merry
Hey grace, oh, night is you know a couple of hours a day for nothing
If you can hope you can hold on to your heaven
Remember it when you said once you tell
Cuz what you don't know, you don't know, it gets you in trouble
Sometimes you know you don't know - find your way
But now watching over you now, I'll get you over
If you don't pretend you know what you don't know, you don't know again
I'm gonna walk back in your arms
Straight in. suck up and go,
cool it, swallow, swallow
Breathe deep, take it all
it comes cheap
Push it through the doors
because in between the lines
I'm gonna pack more lines
so I can get in
Ooh traffic jam got more cars
than a beach got sand
Suck it up suck it up suck it up
fill it up until no more
I'm no crazy creep, I've got it coming
to me because I'm not satisfied
The hunger keeps on growing
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
I've got to get it somewhere
I mean, you never know, maybe
you're dreaming
Who do you think you're watching
Who do you think you need
Play for me, play more.
ten times in the same day
I need more. I'm going
over my borders
I'm going to take more, more
from you, letter by letter
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
I told god I'm coming
to your country
I'm going to eat up your cities.
your homes, you know
I've got a stomach full it's not
a chip on my shoulder
I've got this growl in my tummy
and I'm gonna stop it today
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
It's the time of the season
When the love runs high
In this time, give it to me easy
And let me try
With pleasured hands
To take you and the sun to
Promised lands
To show you every one
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name?
(What's your name?)
Who's your daddy?
(Who's your daddy? He rich?)
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken
(Has he taken)
Any time
(Any time to show)
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what?
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name?
(What's your name?)
Who's your daddy?
(Who's your daddy? He rich?)
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken
(Has he taken)
Any time
(Any time to show)
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what?
I really want to know
I'm a ticking time bomb
Waiting to blow my top
No one would ever know
Not until I blew up
No one would believe it
He was such a normal guy
Shake their heads and wonder why
Martians fell from the sky
What would that do to god?
Would we put the weapons down
Or aim it up at the sky
No one would believe it
Except the fucking nut jobs
They laugh and cry we told you so
Baby when I get home
I want to believe in Jesus
Hammer in the final nail
Dave Matthews Band Time Bomb lyrics found on
Help me pick up the pieces
When everything starts to fall
So fast that it terrifies you
When will you hit the wall?
Are you gonna learn to fly?
No one would believe it
Except for all the people
Watching as you fly away
Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
And lean me up against jesus
Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again
HEY!
Would you like to play
With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage
While you lie around
With your hands up and out
So in time you will fall down
While you're around here play
Wild on the warm and far away
While you're around here play
The days keep scribbling themselves in tidy lines
Would you like to play
With a fool holding hands
With a one-eyed jack of spades
While on the deck they sing
All of the captain's cards are kings
Still he and the queen are lost at sea
I hope it isn't you and me
And I'll be back 'round again
Yes I'll walk in time with you old friend
And we'll find that place
That we had danced in so long ago
And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again
With this resigned
I saw you walk
You know you say
Like a ghost you know to me babe
Combat boots make you look silly
Oh now I see you walking home from school
You got so lost on your way
You got me feeling like a kid
But this man is no kid you know
So I'm not gonna pull your hair
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
That's why with you can't say what I mean
Wanna stay but I think I'm gettin outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
Aw there you go again
I know you're shy
And I see you walk past with your friends
And I saw you laugh and whisper
And I'll talk, I want you here
But you turn back and smile at me
Aw you got me feeling okay with that
So I'm not gonna pull your hair
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
That's why with you can't say what I mean
Wanna stay but I think God get me outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
Bus stop dreamer
The late night
You with me
There's something moving
You cant stop, saying that you love me
You love me, you love me
Enough, enough you make me shy
But baby, I wake up
Aw, aw, yeah
I saw you
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
That's why with you I can't say what I mean
Wanna stay but I think I'm gettin outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
Oh it's so, go on baby say it
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Hoping for a new beginning
To take me away from my surroundings
So I can finally say goodbye
Wondering what'll become of us
When we are all old and gray
And this time that we've spent together
Was well worth our wait
Think of the fun that we had
Not caring until the next morning
It feels so good to go through life
With your eyes half open
We are all one and the same
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
And most of all friends
These years have passed us by so fast
It seems like we never got the chance
To realize how good life really was
And let the moment last
And it feels like it was only yesterday
When we walked into this place
And said I can't wait till I get out of here
And now as we walk down this aisle
With four years all rolled up in a scroll, you can't help but think
Hey, Where did the time go
We are all one and the same
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
And most of all friends
Hold on to your memories
Hold on to those little things
And I hope you receive as much as you GAVE
Cause when you die they're the only things
That you can take to your grave
These are the days of your life
And don't let them pass you by
Cause you never know when you might take your last breath
And so take a deep one tonight
Good friends we had along the way
And good friends that didn't make it to where we stand today
But we all know that they're looking down on us
And even though their lives were cut short
We still remember the little thing that made us laugh about them
And do you remember when and where did you meet them?
We are all one and the same
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
And most of all friends
Hold on to your memories
Hold on to those little things
And I hope you receive as much as you GAVE
Cause when you die they're the only things
That you can take to your grave
And as we approach this final day
Where we all will go our separate ways
So go hug and kiss your friends
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
On my way came up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone
From hand to hand
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
Could Dad be God
Crosses cross hung out like a wet rag
Forgive you why
You hung me out to dry
Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
But laughing out loud makes it all subside
Holding I'm holding
I'm still falling
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of this
And turned to the gate
But on my way
Crack
Lightning and thunder
I hid my head
And the storm slipped away
Well maybe I'm crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all alright
Laughing out loud
From time to time
Minutes and hours
Some move ahead while
Some lag behind
It's like the balloon that
Rise and then vanish
This drop of hope
That falls from his eyes
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I think of this
And turn to go away
But as I walk
There're voices behind me saying
Sinners sin
Probably get it wrong
much as I get it right
But I got it right, women
when I caught your eye
Remember most about that night
Is I love the way you move baby
Yes I love the way you move baby
I like most liquor
but I don't like gin
Don't always like the skin I'm in
But when I get it wrong gotta start again
Still I love the way you love me baby
And I love the way you move
I love the way you move
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly
So I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life?
But it don't always work out
Cry cry baby if we must but
Just remember
Oh remember
I love the way you love me baby
And I love the way you move
I'm not all bad
But I'm a faithful sinner
I might get lost
But I'll be home for dinner
If God don't like me
He can send me to hell
But I love the way you love me girl
I love the way you move
I pray to Heaven to keep my place
But I looked in the mirror
saw the Devil's face
And I'd be a dog for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby
And I love the way you talk baby
You move
Love the way you move, but
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly
So I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life?
But it don't always work out
Cry cry baby if we must but
Just remember
Oh remember
I love the way you move me
I love the way you love me baby
Bad days come
when the good day's gone
Working as hard as the day is long
And a working man works well at home
but I love the way you talk baby
Yes I love the way you talk baby
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly
So I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life?
But it don't always work out
Cry cry baby if we must but
Ah remember
Ah remember
All the people are on parade
I thought I saw a spaceman tryin to get laid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life?
If it don't always work out
We'll cry cry baby if we must
Oh remember
Just remember
I love the way you love me baby
I say my hell is the closet I'm stuck inside
can't see the light
and my heaven is a nice house in the sky
I got central heating and I'm alright
yeah yeah yeah can't see the light
keep it locked up inside don't talk about it
t-t-talk about the weather
yeah yeah yeah
open up my head and let me out little baby
'Cos here we have been standing for a long long time
can't see the light
treading trodden trails for a long long time, time, time, time, time, time, time
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself
sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else
I see you young and soft oh little baby
little feet, little feet, little hands little baby
one year of crying and the words creep up inside
creep into your mind yeah
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
'Cos here we have been standing for a long long time
can't see the light
treading trodden trails for a long long time...........
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself
sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say ohh
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
little baby ahh
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
little feet little hands little baby
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch,
limb to limb you see
All in a day's dream
I'm stuck
Like the other monkeys here
I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in here again
But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
Ventured away
Walking tall, head high up and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do
Then comes the day
Staring at myself I turn to question me
I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well
Oh things were quiet then
In a way they were the better days
But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do
The thing I like about you
Is the way you
The way that you do
The thing I like about you
God or the Devil alone
Could not have made you up
The two must have worked
As one together
So good just wanna eat you up
Nothing like the real thing
Lick your sticky fingers boy
And sing for your dinner sing
Come on pretty baby
Make me lose my mind
Everybody get together
Gonna make love shine
[Chorus]
Do you know what it is
To feel the light of love inside you
And all the darkness falls away
If you feel the way I feel
Then I believe we have the answer
I've been searching for tonight
Love me baby, love me baby
Shake me like a monkey, baby
Forever I'm yours, yours, yours
Yeah forever I am
I, I, I
Can't stop thinking 'bout you
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Why would I want to
I like my coffee
With toast and jelly
But I'd rather be licking
From your back to your belly
I, I, I
Think that I'm going to
[Chorus]
Cigarettes and coffee
Broken hearts and being lonely
Little girls and ponies
Things that go together
Yes and no
You have to choose
Romeo and Juliet
The hangman and his noose
You and me we go good together
Kiss, kiss make a wish
Hope that it comes true
I ain't waiting for the world to change
Gonna change the world for you
Come on pretty baby
Make you lose your mind
Everybody get together
Gonna make love shine
[Chorus]
Come on everybody
Make me lose my mind
Everybody get together
Baby, when I think about you, know all I want to do, be
by your side, take a little ride
You know, Baby, oh, you know I’m all about you, an' all
I want to do
Take a little ride, maybe get inside, maybe get in
Mama told me, "Boy, someday that girl gonna take your
mind, and then you’ll know"
I never knew but I do now, I never knew, but I do now!
I love you, love you, love you, love you, love you,
you, you, you, you, you
Mama told me, "Boy, someday that girl's gonna take your
mind, and then you’ll know"
I never knew but I do now, I never knew, but I do now!
Love you, love you, love you, love you, you, you, you,
you, you, you, you!
Sour as my fingers, dirty pick pocket
I can still taste you, and I won’t wash my hands
Red is the color of the sun with my eyes closed, I can
still taste you, and I will again, yee
down to the place she digs to go
dark little place she digs to go
Woman, please, please, I'm in your possession, down,
drink it, wanna drink it, let me drink it, drink it
Let me go, Let me go, Let me go down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, yeahhh
Dark little place she digs to go, Dark little place she
digs to go
Dark little place she digs to go, Dark little place she
digs to go
Mama told me, "Boy, someday that girl's gonna take your
mind, and then you’ll know"
I never knew but I do now, I never knew, but I do now!
I love you, love you, love you, love you, you, you,
you, you, you, you, you!
Oh, Woman PLEASE I am your possession
and You are my obsession, what you gonna do now, what
you gonna do now, where you gonna go now,
Reel, reel, reel me in, in yeah yeah
Mama told me, "Boy, someday that girl gonna steal your
mind, and then you’ll know"
I never knew but I do now, I never knew, but I do now!
Down to the place she lets me go, dark little place she
lets me go
Down on Beale Street, devil be down, got me all worked
up to go..
Red is the color, of the sun with my eyes closed
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
what we see and what we do
Well I'm not going to change my ways
just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud
willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round about
this merry-go-round and around
Well If at all God's gaze upon us falls
it's with a mischievous grin, look at him
Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty
we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Late at night with TV's hungry child
his belly swells
Well, for the price of a coke or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungry eyes
Man, take a look again, take a look again
Eveyday things change
Basically they stay the same
Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty
we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
and your cup is overflowing
You seek up on emotion,
sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
going, "Ha ha, ha ha"
(Say, oh say)
Oh look at me in my fancy car
and my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
into my grave, God knows I'd save and save
Man, take a look again, take a look again
things you have collected, well in the end piles up
to one big nothing, one big nothing at all
Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be swept away
Intentions are not wicked, don't be tricked into thinking so
And soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
and your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
going, "Ha ha, ha ha"
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh my dear,
When I was dreaming,
I wish you would take your lies elsewhere
Don't give them to me.
Oh my friend,
Old as you are,
How could I trust you as far
As I could throw you, brother?
And to you my love,
My precious baby,
If I die be sure to eat me up
Where I can stay with you.
You take my flesh,
And eat it down
Drink my blood for every pound you can, my love.
We reconcile, our differences,
When I saw god and the devil walking arm in arm.
We reconcile, our different tastes,
When I saw the devil swimming in the lord's swimming pool.
To drink his wine,
God forgive him,
Your fallen angel's doing fine
He's got you and the boys.
Oh then god,
This dream may be done,
How he had given rise to him what would we care.
If there were no Judas,
Or there were no devil,
Where would god and this little boy be now?
No where I swear.
I'm only saying,
When it seems extreme,
What you got what you got in your hand?
a father said to son
I got the whole world here Daddy
between my fingers and my thumb
Well you take care of it please-- its the only one
Well it would take me a life time old man
to undo what you've done
Oh come on now boy think-- what would Jesus do?
He shake his head like an angry mother
Smoke the boy and say I did what I could do
But you take care of it please
It's the only one you got
And it'd take ten lifetimes boy to undo what I've done
Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood alone thinking
One hand is bleeding
and the other holds a gun
While everything is open
Everything is shut down,down, down
Begin to ending is really
Just a go round, and round, and round
As I stand here-- the ground beneath is nothing
more than one point of view
What you got what you got in your hand?
Your secrets safe with me
Well I found the truth friend
Let me whisper in your ear
Take good care of it please
Its the only one there is
Can I twist it please can I give it just a little twist?
One hand is open and the other hands holds the gun
Everything is open
Now everything coming down, down, down
No one is hoping,even if you know
You never know it all
Nothing more than my point of view
Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Seven tumbling oceans surround
The ground that I built upon
Black and white and the rainbow five
Colors in my eyes
Seven tumbling oceans surround
The ground that I built upon
Black and white and the rainbow five
Colors in my eyes
People People
What are we doing in here
Oh, People
When are we done with this
People People
What are we doing in here
Oh, People
When are we done with this
When we fight over the ocean
When we fight over the sky, still why?
When we fight over our borders
Then we, our brothers and sisters remind
Tell me
Why is it so cold in here
Seven tumbling oceans surround
The ground that I built upon
Black and white and the rainbow five
Colors in my eyes
When we stand in our mothers arms no feeling of emptiness
When we stand in our mothers hands we can see this
When we fight over the oceans
When we fight over the sky, still why?
When we fight over our borders
Then we, our brothers and sisters we deny,
Tell me why do we do it
Why do we do it,
Nine planets round the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much to we take for granted
So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in the mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
If green should slip to grey
Would our hearts still bloody beat
If the mountains crumble away
And the river dry
Would it stop the stepping feet
Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we will rest safely
One sweet world
Around this star is spinning
One sweet world
In her breath I'm swimming
Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me
Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me
Can't catch me ride my bike down the old dirt hill,
First time without my training wheels.
First time I kissed you I lost my legs,
Bring that beat back to me again.
I scream and shout out loud of innocence
And days when all we did would never end.
Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me
Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, take me there, can't catch me can't catch me
Smoking under the railroad bridge
I used to ride my bike down that old dirt hill
The first time I kissed you I lost my legs
Bring that beat back to me again
I scream and shout out loud of innocence
Days when all we did would never end
Screaming down that old dirt hill
Bring that beat back to me again
She stole __
That's when the days I remember seem so far away
That's just a kid. That's what I miss. Just a kid.
That's what I miss
Oh take me back, take me back to that beat again
Smoking on the railroad bridge
Bring that beat back to me again [3x]
First time all with good, good friends.
(Can't catch me, can't catch me)
Sometimes the road is crystal
And sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind
Tell me what it is what you think you're missing
And I will see what I can find
You want to be so sure of
Every step you take
You can't always know what's coming
You can't always trust the twist of fate
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Stars shine down from the black
And we're picking though this broken glass
Well how could we know that our lives
Would be so full of beautifully broken things
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
War is the most vulgar madness
And winters can be so cruel
You can't always change the way things are
Like I can't change the way I think of you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my, love my, love my love
Baby I'll be your soldier. Gladly, I'll do your bidding
Just a taste of what your holding, for just a taste you could only... me.
Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love. I'll be right here, lying in the hands of God.
Here it comes, diving in to me.
Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew why would you, cut the wings off a butterfly? Fly.
Save your sermons for someone that's afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure.
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God.
If you feel angels in your hand, tear drops of joy runs down your face, you will rise.
Fillin' me up, now drain me
Skin begins to grow back slowly,
faster until I'm choking.
Really should call my mother, mother.
Save your sermons for someone that's afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure.
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God.
I am in love with nothing less.
Tear drops of joy runs off my face,
I will rise for someone that's afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel, then you couldn't be so sure.
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God.
Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew, why would you?
If you never flew, why would you? You.
Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me won't you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth
Don't be us too shy
For knowing it's no big surprise that
I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you
Oh please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hand your hands
So much we have dreamed
And you were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger
A million reasons life to deny
Let's toss them away
See you and me we
Lay down look see
She and he
By my lover's side
Together share this smile
Each other's tears to cry
Together share this smile
Lover lay down
Oh please oh please
Oh please lover lay down
Oh please lover lay down
And you weep
Lover lay down
Cause it's over
Lover lay down
Say love, say love, say love, say love, say love
Should I love you
Could you love me
Darling it's all the same
'Til we dance away
Chasing me all around
Leading me all around
Leading me all around in circles
Original Lyrics and Music by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin
Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene
But they all agreed
That the slayer who ran
Looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else,
Then you won't have to die."
Well, I said not a word
Alhough it meant my life
For I had been in the arms
Of my best friend's wife
Now she walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
Oh now, the scaffold was high
And eternity was near;
She stood in the crowd
And shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold winds blow ****in a long black veil
she cries over my bones******
She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me...
Nobody knows...
Nobody knows...
Oh searching tired of love grown up, now it all falls out,
oh lovely dreamer, magic prince,
come and swoop you up, swoop you up.
but now no I, just might guess,
man at all, i'll grow up, I came your way.
nobody so special, will dream us away,
nobody to sweep you away,
and oh light, oh light come and lift me up.
Oh light please, come lift me up,
oh sweet light come lift me up,
when you go down, remember your steps as a baby,
remembering how you walked,
remembering all the sweetest dreamin' you did,
while you tick-tack alone.
Now all gone, there's nothin' left,
but your dream I wrote in a song.
Just like the bent back of an old woman,
you know it's all gone and severed alone,
and so I rhyme.
So now all your secrets,
they all look the same as all inside,
she feels swallowed up, oh she feels tired as she could,
but creepin' will roll us along.
But it's all over, oh,
it's all alone, so long,
oh Lucy's alone,
sweet Lucy loves the way of the world,
like the bent back of an old woman.
Why soon, this way ?
Why soon, my way ?
I came cryin' till you came, upon my knees,
beggin father lift me up please,
but no, answer came down, oh flower child,
just emptiness inside of me.
Oh light lift me up, please lift me up,
come down and pick me away.
Forgive me all my selfish ways,
sweet light pick me up from my misery.
Why, do I come back to you,
the way, I do,
the way, I picture you,
in the way that I picture you.
Lift me up from the bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light.
Lift me up from the bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light.
Lift me up from bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light.
Lift me up from the bottom to the top,
Oh man, excitement, oh that we call it
Oh a child's gonna lie on the line and we go over
Oh proud and strong, we're cuttin' down our babies and mothers
And leave them to die while we plant our grain and call it home
Oh I swear this life we're leadin' leaves me crazy
Still I should call it a home
Take this sword, I said it was stolen, plan to love it like no other
Oh my grand-father's saying "Oh man you charge
You chagewhen the trumpet calls
And blow on your flute and pound on your drum, it calls"
No mother and no child could resist this pounding
And drive on to the west, we will plant, we will grow, yeah
Oh wait and see my heart is bleeding
Still I should call it home
And teach my babies, my son and my daughter, to blow this place
And share it with no one, yeah
Oh press hard and shout in our drunken pounding
And I'll plant my wheat, I will hold my land dear
I will protect my ones, I will protect my golden
And I'll stand up on top and scream that I own it
But what of the spirits that lie in the soil
Then should I call it up out
And then I will tell my son and my daughters to hold it so dear
And share it with all, yeah
And then I will tell my sons and my daughters to hold it dear
And share it with everyone
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Islands
From the red wood forests to the cold stream waters
This land was made for you and me
She is a wicked ride
Yes she is
She said I'm gonna make you climb right out yourself
She said now break free
You might have to give up your life
But I was thinking
I'd love to get inside you
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
You make me crazy, baby, don't let up
But if I'm falling I don't wanna stop
I'd give up everything to have your love
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
I'd drink your tears, don't you cry, cry, cry, cry
She is a wicked high
Yes she is
She goes down so hard
She might never come back
She's gonna break free
But she loves to laugh
But I was thinking
I'd love to get some of that
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
You make me crazy, baby, don't let up
But if I'm falling I don't wanna stop
I'd give up everything to have your love
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
I'd drink your tears, don't you cry, cry, cry, cry
She's so
She's gonna break free
She's gonna laugh
She's gonna break free
Aww, she's gonna break free
Aww, well that's alright by me
Yeah, yeah
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
You make me crazy, baby, don't let up
But if I'm falling I don't wanna stop
I'd give up everything to have your love
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
I'd drink your tears, don't you cry, cry, cry, cry
But the way she does me
The she hates to love me
If you fill the cup, I'll drink you up, baby
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
You make me crazy, baby, don't let up
And if I'm falling I don't wanna stop
I'd give up everything to have your love
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
I'd drink your tears
Yes, I'm gonna rain
She don't need me
She don't need anything
Aww yeah
She gonna leave
She gonna ride the soul, soul, soul, ride
She gonna
She'll ride the sunshine
Aww, she gonna break free
Gonna break out of here
Gonna

Joyride...
You do it for the joy it brings
Because you're a joyful girl
Because the world owes me nothing
And we owe each other the world
I do it cause it's the least I can do
I do it cause I learned it from you
I do it just because I want to
Just because I want to...
Everything I do is judged
And mostly they get it wrong Oh well
The bathroom mirror has not budged
And the woman who lives there can tell The truth from the stuff that they say
And she looks me in the eye
And says...
Would you prefer it the easy way?
Well, okay then ...
Don't cry
I wonder if everything I do
I do instead
Of something I want to do more
The question fills my head
I know there's no grand plan here
This is just the way it goes
When everything else seems unclear
I guess at least I know
You do it for the joy it brings
Because you'e a joyful girl
Because the world owes me nothing
And we owe each other the world
I do it, it's the least I can do
there are places i remember
all my life though some have changed
some forever not for better
some have have gone
and some remain
all these places have thier moments
with lovers and friends i still can recall
some are dead and some are living
in my life ive loved them all
but of all these friends and lovers
there is noone compares with you
and these memories lose there meaning
when i think of love as something new
though i know ill never lose affection
for people and things that went before
and i know ill often stop and think about them
in my life i love you more
though i know ill never lose affection
for people and things that went before
i know ill often stop and think about them
in my life i love you more
Oh my love
If I had my way then all your dreams
Would come true
Oh my love
All your dreams and all the world
Just for you
Oh my love
If I had my way
This for you
Spread yourself across my lips
And I spoon you in
The sweetest thing in all the world
Oh I want more
There is no place I'd rather be than here with you
Under the sun, the pouring rain, all the sky for you
Oh my love
If I had my way
This for you
Oh my love
Make your belly full
I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would like to dance
Around the world with me
I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When your not here that's hung
Around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other
I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When your not here that's hung
Around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
I’m mixing up a bunch of magic stuff
A magic mushroom cloud of care
A potion that'll rock, the boat will rock
And make a bomb of love and blow it up
I did it
Do you think I’ve gone too far?
I did it
Guilty as charged
I did it
It was me right or wrong
I did it
Yeah
I never did a single thing that did a single thing
To change the ugly ways of the world
I didn’t know it felt so right inside
I didn’t know it all
I opened up the curtains
I heard sirens there, the lights flash and crawl
But I did it justice
I just did it for the buzz, oh
It’s a nickel or a dime for what I’ve done
The truth is that I don’t really care
For such a lovely crime I’ll do the time
You better lock me up I’ll do it again
I did it
Do you think I’ve gone too far?
I did it
Guilty as charged
I did it
It was me right or wrong
I did it
Yeah
I never did a single thing that did a single thing
To change the ugly ways of the world
I didn’t know it felt so right inside
I didn’t know it all
I open up the curtains
I heard sirens there, the lights flash and crawl
But I did it justice
I just did it for us all, you know
All you people are the skewers of our dreams
Like the cat that collared me:
Oh, what I gotta say to you
You got love
Don’t turn it down
Turn it loud
Let it build
We got a long way to go
But you, ya gotta start somewhere
Go door to door
Spread the love you got
You got the love
You get what you want
Does it matter where you get it from?
I for one
Don’t turn my cheek for anyone
Unturn your cheek to give your love
Love to grow
I did it
Do you think I’ve gone too far?
I did it
Guilty as charged
I did it
It was me right or wrong
I did it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I did it
I told you, I told you I did
I did it
Guilty as charged
I did it
I told you, I told you I did
I did it
Yeah
I never did a single thing that did a single thing
To change the ugly ways of the world
I didn’t know it felt so right inside
I didn’t know it all
I open up the curtains
I heard sirens there, the lights flash and crawl
But I did it justice
oh, hungry boy
in a town of one hundred more
the food is out the door

oh, river red
pouring from the side of his head
a bullet through the brain
make him feel different today

till we die

Hey little dreamer's eyes open and staring up at me
Oh little lonely eyes open and radiant
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come I'll take your soul
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come and I won't go
Darlin' dreamin in the night
Shadows on the windows
Lead oh and everyone go
Well leave me on the night
I will give you lightning
I will not relinquish light
Oh little dreamer eyes open and raving here
Wait until I come and see you little girl
When we come I'll leave with you too
When we come I'll let you come low
Hey we'll leave it all behind
Oh and then the nightmares
I'll fill them in good time
Oh they will seat your mind
When the light hits
And you maybe'll ask me
Why do you run around here
Why do you come inside of me
Why does it rip me out in dream
Why then why then watch this little fuck
Going away
Why this lonely
Why this lonely
Why this lonely love

Why this lonely love

Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out onto Grey St.
And she thinks...hey
How did I come to this
I dreamed myself thousand times around the world
But I can't get out of this place
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together
To grey, and it breaks her heart
Oh how she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears He doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her He might
She says I pray
But they fall on deaf ears
Am I supposed to take it on myself
To get out of this place
There's a loneliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now,
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together
To grey, and it breaks her heart
There's a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them real as anything
It will take the work out of the courage
She says please
There's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
And the end of the world
Oh there's an emptiness insider her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her
Using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together
To grey
And it breaks her heart...Oh and it breaks her heart
Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his great grandchildren believe
You could live to a 103
A hundred and three is forever when you’re just a little kid
So, Cyrus Jones lived forever

Hello how are you doing today
I hope I find you feeling healthy
I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today
On our way into the night
We find love it's hiding here
In the darkness in the shadows
Maybe it's up to you and I
To bring it to the light
Love when I approach the tears
They fall like rain
You tell me baby your hearts into a thousand pieces
Now stop only old and wise with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can, when I
Blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing to comes my way
So here we are all of us stand around
We're leaning heavy on each other
Always wondering what is it that lies behind
The worried eyes of one another
Well I believe it's love that's hiding here
deep inside both you and me.
Maybe it's up to you and me to share it with the light
Love when I approach the tears they fall like rain
You tell me baby your heart's into a thousand pieces
And I stop only old and wise with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can, cause' I
Blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way
I say it's love that's lacking here
Although I know enough to spare
Maybe you and I could spread it large and wide
Love with my approach the tears they fall like rain
You tell me baby your heart's into a thousand pieces
Love
Baby
Love
Baby
Love
Baby
Oh stay right here
So I can catch your smile, it's good
Stranger in a crowded room
What did you say? Oh baby
Let's have a drink, and get to the bottom of this hill
And once we see the bottom, we know we'll reach another hill
But you won't be a stranger in a room
A stranger in this crowded room, with you, a good good time tonight
Let's go away, all of us, way down
I know I'll dance again
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
But I know this for sure... that tonight brought a good time
Good time with me and y'all, it's a good good time tonight
Oh you're feelin' it too, the light bringin us up
Troubles away, it's a good good time tonight
Ah, a good time right here
(violin solo)
*skat session*
Just a little more ice and everything's nice *skat*
What do you remember, before the sea was rough and the sky was grey
Oh but not today, not today, cuz it's a good good time tonight
The bad sky will be gone
Oh play on, oh, good good time tonight
Sippin' some wine, with good friends
But you know you're havin' a good good time tonight
A good good time
(saxophone solo)
Let's drink to those who can not be here
Let's drink to those who are gone
Let's drink to those who will be here soon
Let's drink to those we lost along the way
Oh, but this, a tip of your glasses for them all
It's a good good time
It's a good good time... tonight
It's a good good time
It's a good good time
Good good time tonight
A good good time tonight
With fire to keep us warm
and tools we made from rocks and bones
A roof over your head
and walls to keep you safe in bed
There must be more than this
So God was born
and we in his image of fear and love
looked down upon from up above
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
if we wanna see the world change
We crossed the oceans wide
built cities to the sky oh Lord
Looked up and we were flying
but will we not survive ourselves
We gotta do much more than believe
if we wanna see the world change
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
go on try it, go on try it
We gotta do much more than believe
if we wanna see the world change
What will I say to my baby
Let me show you a movie
we landed a man on the moon
Now you could never believe it
ya we could do anything
We flew to the stars and back
down to the ground hard
Please wake up
Please wake up
Please wake up
(children singing)
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
(Children and Dave singing)
We gotta do much more than believe
go on try it, go on try it
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
go on try it, go on try it
We gotta do much more than believe
if we wanna see the world change
Oh my little baby
let me show you this movie
You know we landed a man on the moon
I know it's hard to imagine
but we could do anything
Look at me dreaming of you
All I could hope is to have you
To have you walking with me
Laughing so in love, we two
Almost drunkenly
I did imbibe of this
Fantasy of you and me
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
I've grown tired of love
You are the trouble with me
I watch you walk right by
I smile, you do not notice me
Treat me recklessly
All you do is toss me pennies out
But the silence in me is screaming
Won't you come and get me?
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
You make a mess of me here
I dance a thousand steps for you
If you say yes to me
I'll be whatever gets you through
You make a mess of me here (was I a fool?)
I dance a thousand steps for you (was I a fool?)
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think?
Yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone
Susanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning, wrote down this song
Just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me Jesus?
You've gotta help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching, and my time is at hand
And I can't make it any other way
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
I've been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned torwards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Hours of time on the telephone line, talking 'bout things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines, in peices on the ground
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again
Thought I'd see you, once again now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain child
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
Pick me up, love!

Everybody wake up
If your living with your eyes closed
See the man with a bomb in his hand
Everybody wake up
Oh baby it's not easy sometimes
They build these walls ever higher and hide behind them
Seems an odd way to try and make things right
Oh I feel like I go crazy sometimes
Our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
The believers stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire
Everybody wake up
If your living with your eyes closed
See the man with a bomb in his hand
Everybody wake up
I Remember the words of the misguided fool
Do unto others as you'd have them do
Not an eye for an eye is the golden rule
Just leaves a room full of blind men
And the finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
Don't believe him leave and stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire
Everybody wake up
....
Everybody wake up
if your living with your eyes closed
see the man with a bomb in his hand
Father gone and I'm heading
It's a bold side of it again
When you decide to go to him
And the people toasting away
And the people all sitting there, c'mon
Everybody gonna come on in
Like, like c'mon in, yeah, yeah
Everybody gonna come on in
Y'all it's you wanna c'mon, sir

Be wary of those who believe in a neat little world
Cause it’s just fucking crazy you know that it is

Keep your head up
Try and listen to your heart
Be kind always, no matter
We all grow up
And someday well say goodbye
So shine your light while got one
Make the most of what you've got
Don't waste time being trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head and fill up you heart and take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Once round just once so take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head and fill up you heart cuz that all we got
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Through you window
That's one way to see the world
Step outside and look back into
Look and listen
And you decide what to believe
Shine your light while you got one
And make the most of what you got
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head and fill up your heart and take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be someone you're not
That's not a star that's a satellite
Step it out
Step it out
That's not a star that's a satellite
That's not a star that's a satellite
Yeah, Ya, Yeah
Yeah, Ya, Yeah Oh.
Yeah... Hey, alright...
(I) I would dig a hole all the way to China
unless of course I was there
and I'd dig my way home.
If by digging I could steal
The wind from the sails of the greedy men who ruled the world.
Still you're my best friend
and after a good, good drunk
you and me wake up and make love
after a deep sleep where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of a
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl (Yeah)
Dreamgirl
I was feeling like a creep as I watched you asleep
face down in the grass in the park in the middle of hot afternoon
Your top was untied and I thought how nice it'd be to follow the sweat down your spine.
You're like my best friend
Oh, after a good good drink
you and me wake up and make love
after a deep sleep where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of a
Dreamgirl (yeah)
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl (yeah)
Dreamgirl
Caught by a wave my back to the ocean.
It knocks me off my feet and
just as I find my footing
here you come again!
Dreamgirl, oh
Dreamgirl (mumble man)
Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here
What were you expecting
Not room for both
Just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say
You feel a right to remain
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say
Your father's spirit still lives in this place
I will silence you
Here's the hitch
Your horse is leaving
Don't miss your boat
It's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside for me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
'Cause you're all dead now
I live with my justice
I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
I live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
I'm digging a ditch
Where madness lives
I'm digging a ditch
Where my silence lives
I'm diggin a ditch and when I am through
Digging this ditch I'll dig one for you
Digging a ditch
As black as cold
Digging a ditch
Where I can hide my soul
Digging a ditch
Where my secrets stay
Unto your dreaming
When you're alone
Unplug the TV
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I'm digging a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch for when I'm old
Digging a ditch where stories told
Where all these troubles
That weigh down on me will rise
Unto your dreaming
When you're alone
Where all these worries
Weigh heavy on my heart
Will rise, will rise, will rise...
Unto your dreaming
When you're alone
Unplug the TV
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I'm diggin a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch and when I'm through
Digging this ditch I'll dig in for you
Where all these disappointments
That grow angry out of me will rise
Unto your dremaing
When you're alone
Not what you're sure be or what you've become
Just getting heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I'm digging a ditch where madness gives
I'm digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch and when I'm through
Digging a ditch I'll give one you
Where all these disappointments
That grow angry out of me will rise
Unto your dreaming
When you're alone
Where all these habits
That weigh down on me will die
Will die, will die, will die...
Unto your dreaming
When you're alone
Unplug the TV
Turn off your phone
You've got your ball
you've got your chain
tied to me tight tie me up again
who's got their claws
in you my friend
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you
You come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
When you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
to forgive me
in my haste
When I'm holding you so girl
close to me
Oh and you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show your world to me
In a boys dream.. In a boys dream
Oh I watch you there
through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
wear it so well
tied up and twisted
the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash
into me
im the king of the castle
Cigarette lit
My plans to quit
And I know I can but I know I will forget it
Stuck here, I need something quick
Jus' to stop me thinking
Always loud, always in
Jus' come in to me
Excuse me please, what have you got?
Get me out of my head while I've still got the courage
But not so out, just out enough till I feel like I'm takin' off
The rain falls down, I'm not alone
Covers all of us in silver line, silver line
And all I beg you stay with me
Let it rain all night
What a gift, this short visit
And I know I'll go just as quick as I came in
Night stick, my finger tips
Jus' stop me thinking
Always out, always in

Excuse me please what have you got
Get me out of my head while I've still got the courage
Not so out, just out enough till I feel like I'm takin' off

And covered all of us with silver line, in silver line
And all I beg you stay with me
Let it rain all night
I'm always out, always in
Jus' come in to me
Not so out, just out enough till I feel like I'm takin' off
And the rain falls down, I'm not alone
And covers all of us in silver line, in silver line
And all I beg you stay with me

It covers up in a silver line, in silver line

Confess, your kiss still knocks me off my legs.
The first time I saw you was like a punch right through my chest
and I will forever, ‘cause you’ll forever be
my one true broken heart, pieces inside of me
and you’ll forever, my baby be.
You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
your blue, blue world, you're my baby blue.
Confess I'm not quite ready to be left.
Still, I know I gave my level best.
You give, you give, to this I can attest
You made me, you made me.
You and me forever, baby.
You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
in your blue, blue world, you and me forever.
You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
Floating in the lower nine
Waiting for a boat to throw me a line
See my Stella smile
Sitting on the roof eating alligator pie
First day the water rise
Second day the sun is high
Third day Stella cried cause night times dark as a dead man's eye's
Tell me when help is gonna come
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
Morning ride on by thank lord everybody's alright
Don't mean to throw us a second line
The devil broke the levy and left us here to die
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
All the things we know and
Everything we hoped for
All the things we wanted
Everything that was sure
Now there is a scar
Where the old men used to be
The corner store and market
Where Stella used to sing to me
Grace is all I'm asking
When will grace return
Grace is all I'm asking
Remember how I feel in those days of the summertime
Then Stella smiled, she said
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
Tell me lord when help is gonna come
Sun will shine no matter what I do
Sun shines bright now with you
What a wonderful thing for you to do
Moon shine bright
Reflection in your eyes
A finer place he could not find
Winter's cold
Spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Hope all these changes happen with you
In my life
Never before have I a lover so adored
Her eyes
Her hair
Everything she says
My delight can tickle me inside
Touch my heart
Touch my mind
No matter what's inside I'll
Give to her
No need to satisfy my hunger
Lost in her
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
With biggest steps I'm running
After her I will run
Winter's cold
Spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Hope all these changes happen with you
Sun will shine no matter what I do
Sun shines bright now with you
Touch my heart
Touch me through
No matter what's inside I'll
Give to her
No need to satisfy my hunger
Lost in her
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
With biggest steps I'm running
After her I will run
After her
After her
How many more nails
you gunna drive through my heart
It was different from the...
How many more knives into my back, Jack
How many more broken hearts
can you stand through all the rain
How many more nails
you drive into my heart
How many more, baby
Haw many more times tried,
oh, oh, oh
How many more, baby
Will you go and leave me alone,
leave me alone...
How many more times you like me to beg you,
to leave e behind, oh
How many more nails, baby
will you drive into my heart, baby
How many more days
you drive in
how many more times
you fill me with life
How many more hours
must I wait at night
for you to walk back through the door, baby
How many more nails
How many more knives through the back
Sitting still as stone
watching, watching
people walking by
wondering why
no one ever stops to talk
or thinks about what if they ever did
What if God shuffled by
one day we might see
we're doing not a thing
like breathing just to breathe
we might find some reason
But rushing around seems whats wrong with the world
don't lose the dreams inside your head
they'll only be there til' you're dead
dream
Lying on the roof
counting
the stars that fill the sky
I wonder is
someone in the heavens looking back down on me
I'll never know
So much space to believe
funny when you're small
how the moon follows the car
there's no one but you see
hey the moon is chasing me
and I worried if I looked away she'd be gone
don't lose the dreams inside your head
they'll only be there til' you're dead
dream
Oh oh oh
walking through the wood
no cares in the world
the world
she's come to play
she's all mine just for a day
There's not a moment to lose in the game
don't let the troubles in your head
steal too much time, you'll soon be dead
so play
all fall down
it won't be so long now
out of the darkness
comes light like a flash
you think you can
you think you can
sometimes that is the problem
dream little darling, dream
Spinning on the wind
the leaf fell from the limb
and everyday should be a good day to die
all fall down
it won't be too long now
every fire dies out
I find it hard to explain
how I've got here
I think I can
I think I can
then again I will falter
dream, oh I think I can I think I can
I think I can
dream little darling, dream
Spinning on the wind
To change the world start with one step
However small the first step is hardest of all
Once you get your gait you will walk in tall
You said you never did 'cause you might die trying
'Cause you might die trying, 'cause you
If you close your eyes 'cause the house is on fire
And think you couldn't move until the fire dies
The things you never did, oh 'cause you might die trying
Because you might die trying you'd be as good as dead
'Cause you might die trying, 'cause you might die trying
If you give you, you begin to live
If you give you begin to live
You begin, you get the world
If you give you begin to give
You get the world, you get the world
If you give, you begin to live
You might die trying, oh you might die trying, yeah
You might die trying the things you never did
'Cause you might die trying, you'd be as good as dead
Where are you going
with your long face pulling down?
Don’t hide away like an ocean
But you can’t see, but you can smell
And the sound waves crash down
I am no superman
I have no reasons for you
I am no hero, ah that’s for sure
But I do know one thing
is where you are is where I belong
I do know, where you go, is where I want to be
Where are you going, where do you go?
Are you looking for answers
to questions under the stars?
Well, if along the way you are growing weary,
You can rest with me 'til a brighter day
You're okay
I am no superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure
But I do know one thing
is where you are, is where I belong
I do know, where you go
Is where I want to be
Where are you going, where do you go?
[interlude]
Where do you go, where are you going?
Where do you go?
I am no Superman, I have no answers for you
I am no hero, ah that's for sure
But I do know one thing, is where you are,
is where I belong
I do know where you go, is where I want to be.
Where are you going, where do you go?
Tell me where are you going, where do you go?
Where?

Ten fingers counting we have each
Nine planets around the sun repeat
Eight ball is the last if you triumphant be
Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone will come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away
Six senses feeling
Five around a sense of self
Four seasons turn on and turn off
I can see three corners from this corner
Two's a perfect number
But one, well
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone will come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
We can't do a thing about it
Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Love, you drive me to distraction
Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
These things we cannot change
Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and you quench my mind
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but
sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
The things we cannot
Celebrate, you and me, climbing two by two, to be sure
these days continue, things we cannot change
Oh, my love I came to you
with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me
just what I'm seeking
Celebrate we will
Because life is short
but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change...
Original Lyrics and Music by Boyd C. Tinsley
When you look into a mirror
Do you like what's looking at you?
Now that you've seen your true reflections
What on earth are you gonna do?
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Remember the time you hung out with the boys, now
Remember the things you used to say
I thought by now you'd be the president
But after all that was yesterday
But you've had time to go out in the world now
But you chose to run away
Well, people ask you what you're doing now
You don't even know what to say
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Find some inspiration (yeah)
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
You think your life is like a movie
Where it all works out in the end
I think your life is like a desert
Where does it go, where does it begin?
When you look into a mirror
(When you look into a mirror)
Do you like what's looking at you?
(Do you like it?)
Now that you've seen your true reflection
What on earth are you gonna do?
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Find some inspiration (yeah)
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration (inspiration)
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration (inspiration)
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration...
The brightest star on a cloudless night
Some kind of miracle, almost empty sky
Infact as sure as God is a monkey's dream
And ate that mushroom and believe what he sees
Trouble with you is you always wanna find the fire
Sittin' warmin' your hands by the fireside
Trouble with you is you're always lookin way outside (way outside)
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fireside?
Just as the bite of the blade wakes the absent mind
There's time to dream and there's time to open your eyes
She said, just as the warmth of a kiss brings the love alive
It's right here by the fire where the answers lie
Trouble with you is you always wanna find the fire
Oh when you're warmin' your hands by the fireside
Trouble with you is you're always lookin' far and wide (way outside)
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fireside
She said why you always lookin', always lookin'?
She said why you always lookin' outside?
She said
The trouble with you is you're always lookin' for the fire
When you're warmin' your hands by the fireside
The trouble with you is you're always lookin' far and wide (way outside)
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fireside? (way outside)
The trouble with you is you're always lookin' somewhere else (way outside)
Oh then what you see there beside yourself
The trouble with you is you're always lookin' for the fire (way outside)
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fireside?
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fireside?
She said, oh why not enjoy yourself sittin' by the fire?
She said
The trouble with you
I've this creeping
Suspicion that things are not as they seem
Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep
I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Yes I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear
Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
This weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
If not I'll go
I will go alone
I'm a long way
From that fool's mistake and now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be ok
I was just wondering if you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
If not I'll go
I will go alone
Long way, to bury the past for I don't want to pay.
Oh how I wish, this: to turn back the clock and do over again.
Now i'm just wondering if you'd come along.
To hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
If not I'll go
I'll go alone
I need so
To stay in your arms see you smile hold you close
Now it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and a bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Funny how time slips away
Looking at the cracks creeping across across my face
I remember the little kid living in here
He'll be living in here probably until I'm dead
Please don't leave me baby
Please don't leave me here
Sitting in a box away from the world out there
A world piled high with boxes just like this
But please don't ever leave me alone in here
Take me out shake of the dust, shake off the fear
Please don't leave me baby
Please don't leave me here
If you stay with me that don't mean we gotta stay the same
If you stay with me baby you and me will change the game
Well I don't know the man that's living in my head
Till you reach down and bring the light back in
No I don't know the man that's living in my head
If I don't know the woman sleeping in my bed
Remember how we used to kiss baby
Kiss like it was everything
Remember how we used to love baby
Love like it was everything
If you stay with me that don't mean we gotta stay the same
If you stay with me baby you and me will change the game
You stay with me I'll follow you and we can start again
I only got a minute or two to spare
And I got a whole fuckin' life to fit in there
So I waste time, stare at the TV set
Like I got dreams to kill and people to forget
Remember how we used to kiss baby
Kiss like it was everything
Remember how we used to love baby
Love like it was everything
If you stay with me that don't mean we gotta stay the same
If you stay with me baby you and me can change the game
If you stay with me, that don't mean I wanna stay the same
[Breakdown]
Standing here
The old man said to me
Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree
Below it he would sit
For hours at a time
Now progress takes away
What forever took to find
Now he's falling hard
He feels the falling dark
How he longs to be
Beneath his dreaming tree
Conquered fear to climb
A moment froze in time
When the girl who first he kissed
Promised him she'd be his
Remembered mother's words
There beneath the tree
No matter what the world
You'll always be my baby
Mommy come quick
The dreaming tree has died
The air is growing thick
A fear he cannot hide
The dreaming tree has died
Oh have you no pity
This thing I do
I do not deny it
All through this smile
As crooked as danger
I do not deny
I know in my mind
I would leave you now
If I had the strength to
I would leave you up
To your own devices
Will you not talk
Can you take pity
I don't ask much
But won't you speak
Please
From the start
She knew she had it made
Easy up 'til then
For sure she'd make the grade
Adorers came in hordes
To lay down in her wake
She gave it all she had
But treasures slowly fade
Now she's falling hard
She feels the fall of dark
How did this fall apart
She drinks to fill it up
A smile of sweetest flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired
She thinks when she was small
There on her father's knee
How he had promised her
You'll always be my baby
Daddy come quick
The dreaming tree has died
I can't find my way home
There is no place to hide
The dreaming tree has died
Oh if I had the strength
Take me back
Hello again
Seem like forever between now and then
You look the same
I mean you look different but you haven't changed
Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you laughin' and I was afraid that I'd get in the way
I did not think I would see you again
So how have you been?
Do you remember, lose everything
Funny I think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
Saw you there dancin' but I was afraid I might get in the way
I did not think I would see you again
Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Funny the feeling (we're falling for this)
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you there dancin', well I was afraid I might get in the way
Never thought I would see you again
How have you been?
(Been) watchin' the years as they trickle away
It's everything, how time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Steal me away
It's like the first time I saw you, you do me that way
What should I say?
See you here standin', and I am afraid I might get in the way
I never thought I would see you again
How have you been?
Do you remember I mean everything?
You steal me away
Like the first time I saw you, you do me that way
What can I say?
I walk half way around the world
Just to sit down by your side
And I would do most anything girl
To be the apple of your eye
But troubles they may come and go
But good times they're the gold
And if this road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
Any place you wanna go
Know I'll be next to you
If it's treasure, baby, you're looking for
I'll search the whole world through
Know troubles they may come and go
But good times they're the gold
So if the road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
When the storm comes
You shelter me
And I don't say a word
And you know exactly what I mean
In the darkest times
You shine on me
You set me free
And keep me steady as we go
So if your heart rings dry my love
I will fill your cup
And if your load gets heavy girl
I will lift you up
But troubles they may come and go
But good times be the gold
So if the road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
Ah, hold me
Shine on me
Oh, shine, shine, shine
Shine on me baby
Boys... Get up y'all!
Stand Up!
I woke up to the angels
Singing in my head
You look so good naked next to me
(There's) an angel in my bed
Stand Up!
I feel like a drug is cookin' in my veins
Still I'm so out of my mind
I'll shoot you up again
Stand Up! etc...
Water save my soul
Stand Up!
Smell like smoke and fire it's burning in us all.
You dropped me in the water
Lift me up save my soul
Stand Up!
American Baby Intro
She said
A hundred times
She said
A thousand times
Please find your place
The room grows scarce
Once we’re all inside
The service can begin
For a moment, if you please
Forget what you believe
And naked, you will see
That we are all the same
But how, your kiss
Your words, your lips
Your flesh, your bones
Exactly what you need
Your flesh, your bones
Exactly what you need
Drum beats louder
Drum beats louder
Why should I feel intrusion?
Why be afraid of what we do not understand?
To eliminate exclusion
Cut out the differences to feel like we belong
Drum beats louder
Drum beats louder
Open up your head
Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth
Open up your head
Your sweet primitive
Open up your mouth
It's coming out
Out there, no food or drink
How many days do you think you’d last
On your diamonds and your pearls?
I’m not a king, no, not a hero, not a fool
I'm not perfect, I'm flesh and bone
And I'm exactly what you need
Drum beats louder
Open up your head
Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth
Open up your head
Your sweet primitive
Open up your mouth
It's coming out
Open up your head
Scream, you sweet primitive
Tell me what you said
But how, your kiss
Your words, your lips
Not a gun to your head
You're gonna die before you're dead
Not sad, when you're gone
But when your light’s still on
Your dreams wont let you fly
Don't be dead before you die
Hunger, till fed, give love instead
When it gets inside, watch the dead man squirm
Above all things
If kindness is your king
In the Spotlight life is so peachy
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Wouldn't you like to retire with a million?
A million beating hearts
Behind brick and cold steel piping
Fighting for the top
Fighting for the room to breathe
Bench box leaper live
Cold blanket bedless babies
Here this must stop
Here I can not stay
Big city black city
Rises all around me
Steal my sole away
Big city black city
Rise and take me over
Steal my sole away
But out
Out in the world
The night it falls
It falls much harder than I recall
Out in the world
The sirens call from every corner
To say
In the Spotlight life is so peachy
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Unless your in the spotlight for a reason
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Caught for stealing
Somebodies riches
No No No No
Wouldn't you like to retire with a million?
Uhh...yeah
Came here from a small town
seen my dreams here in the big city
saw how disappointment
Here I can not stay
Oh You!
Big city black city
Rise and take me over
Steal my sole away
Big city black city
Rises all around me
Steal my sole away
But out
Out in the world
The night it falls
It falls much harder than I recall
Out in the world
The sirens call from every corner
To say
In the Spotlight life is so peachy
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Unless your in the spotlight for a reason
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Caught for stealing
Somebodies riches
No No No No
Wouldn't you like to retire with a million?
Uhh...yeah
Big city black city
Rise and take me over
Steal my sole away
Big city black city
Rises all around me
Steal my sole away
But out
Out in the world
The night it falls
It falls much harder than I recall
Out in the world
The sirens call from every corner
They say
In the Spotlight life is so peachy
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Unless your in the spotlight for a reason
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Caught for stealing
Somebodies riches
No No No No
Wouldn't you like to retire with a million bucks?
Roll out down to midnight
Then roll on downtown 'til it's light
Because tomorrow we may die
Oh, but tonight we're dancing in the faint light
Don't you rob yourself of what you're feeling
Don't rob yourself of all that you could be
Roll hard 'til midnight
Roll 'til it's light
Come on now
Stay up and make some memories
Yeah, with us now
Roll the red carpet out with friends
To whom, to love and roll on
Our love is so right
I won't waste a minute here tonight
Our love is so right
And tonight my dance is all about you
To midnight love you,
Roll on and run the red lights
You know the game now is keep it tight
Oh, how I love your pretty rock-roll kisses
Come on and stay with me
Roll on and run the red lights
Come on, this love is so right
Stay up and make some memories
Yeah, with us now
To roll the red carpet out with friends
Oh, to love and roll on now
Our love is so right
I can taste
We're in it here tonight
Our love is so right
And tonight my dance is all about you
I'm going crazy
And it's all 'cause of you (it's all 'cause of you)
I'm going under, over you, over you...
This time is so alive
Everybody's tranced, dancing tonight
Oh so beautiful, and so strange
Oh, it was empty until you came...
Our love is so right
Forget the clouds that rain on your light
Our love is so right
I'll not forget how you look right now
Our love is so right
Remember let's just move together
Our love is so right
I swear it would last forever
Our love is so right
Forget the clouds that rain down on you
Everything's different with my head in the clouds
I hit this corner with my foot on the gas
I started sliding, I lose it
Everything's different just like that
Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me
Frozen heart, screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?
So damn lucky that you went on ahead
You said, you said "I'll see you later"
I heard what you said a few minutes later
Now I'm sliding, everything's different again
Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me
This frozen heart, screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?
I'm dizzy from all this spinning
Now I'm thinking that you did all you could
When you said "My love, take it slowly"
"Ok," is what I said
Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me
This frozen heart, screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?
Take me back, 'cause just before I was spinning
Take me back, just before I got dizzy
Take me back, amazing what the minute can do
Just like you
So, so, slide, up
Around, around, around, around
Up, around, around, around
(Again)
Around, around, around, around
(Amazing what the minute can do)
Around, around, around, around
(Again)
Around, around, around
You are like a secret garden
As I shuffle through this broken town
Think of you and you are all around me
Like the sky when the sun's going down
I want to tell the whole wide world
And see how love can light your soul
But you are like my secret garden
And I want to be with you alone
Oh, Hold tight
Cuz the road can be a crazy ride
And I know we're going to be alright
Cuz you are here with me
Oh, woman is so right
And even if the oceans divide us
I will be here right by your side
For the rest of our days
Here for the rest of our days
If you are tired I'll bear your burden
If you are dreaming I will not disturb you
Whatever your heart desires love love
I'll clear the way for you
Come winter I will build you a fire
From the bones of who I used to be
Before you came and washed the weary away
Before you came here for me
So right every day and every night
By the fire with the snow outside
And the two of us
Oh child hold tight
If it gets to be a crazy ride
I'll be here right by your side
For the rest of our days
Oh, for the rest of our days
So right
Holding on to this crazy ride
Hold on we'll be alright
Me and you and you and me
Here you come you bring me real love
From the ground beneath to the stars above
I was growing down now I'm growing up
With you in my blood
Yeah this is real love
Shining down like the stars above
Arms out and I am growing up
With you in my blood
Oh you know that it's alright
Feels bigger than the whole world wide
You know come the morning light
Oh I know that I am yours
That I am yours
I know I'll miss her later
Wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creator
To twist her arms now
She stares up at the stars when
The stars fell from her hair then
I bent down to collect them
And then she was gone
Oh, I sleep just to dream her
I beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms
Oh, I came there to find out
Find out she'd made up her mind, oh
My arms are all tied up
To me she was blind
This space between us
Where wingless dreams fall earless
Will you not bear me witness
With your back to me now
It seemed so unnerving
Still somehow deserving
That she could hold my heart so tightly
And still not see me here, oh
Oh, I sleep just to dream her
Beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms
I know I'll miss her later
Wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creator
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
(scat singing)
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
Or will you see I'm as insecure as anybody else?
It's like this
(scat singing)
If I follow along, does it mean I belong?
If I follow along, does it mean I belong?
If I follow along, does it mean I belong?
Or will I keep on feeling different from everybody else?
Right here
(scat singing)
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
This photograph
Of you and me
And these old boots
Were brand new, yeah
Look at you...
Smile, smile, smile.
Look at us, yeah you.
What has become of us?
Chasing the avalanche down
Watching the world on T.V.
There must be something better on.
Shotgun
It's for putting in your mouth, babe
In a world as upside down, as this one
Pretty patterns on the wall
You saw mother
She goes screaming down the hall-way
Talk to me, talk to me girl
All you got to do
Is say the word (save the world), baby
I wish I'd seen you when you go
No way that I can bring you back
No way that I can bring you down
I'm dreaming, dreaming your with me now
What has become of us?
Chasing the avalanche down
Watching the world on T.V.
Changes are coming now
Everything now is starting to fall
But if you just know
If you could get up, and talk to me girl
There must be something I can do
And we will try our best I swear
It gets the best of us you know
Life, something that we're just not aware
Shotgun
You know you woke me from my sleep
Something that eats me
Hidden in yourself
I can't wait inside myself, myself
I thought I could wait it out, wait it out
But noooooooooooooooo
It's tricky that I can see you
It's tricky that I can see you, love
Talk to me, talk to me please
I need my girl, I need you back.
What has become of us?
Chasing the avalanche down
Watching the world on T.V.
So here we are tonight,
you and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
what's on my mind
You've got me wild
turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening,
we'll share some wine, maybe we'll get high.
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
just for an evening
When we make
our passion pictures
You and me twist up
secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
to the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl, just tonight
Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours
until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
And I'll wait here
And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from t he moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite
Satellite headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more, tell me more
Who's the king of your Satellite Castle?
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds no restriction
Television we bounce round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds no restriction
Television we bounce round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
Standing on the rooftop
There's all these people watching
Hard to find the words
When you got so far to fall
Just trying to keep a secret
And never tell a soul no no
Take another drink so
I can loose control
I want you to
Tell me that you want me, just want me too
I want you to
Tell me that you want me, just want me
If I was a winner
I'd cut the cards and deal them
Buy a great big house where
We could disappear
But you find yourself a sweet spot
And people want to get some
You're just anther dead man
Trying to fool the world
I want you to
Tell me that you want me, want me too
I want you to
Tell me that you want me, want me too
I gave you the best of me
And you said goodbye
Should have taken the rest of me
See the morning come up come up
If you're going out tonight
Maybe I'll catch you right
Maybe we'll loose our minds tonight
And fall until we fly
I want you
Tell me that you want me, want me too
I want you to just
Tell me that you want me, want me too
I want you
Tell me that you want me, want me too
I want you to just
Oh well oh well so here we stand
Still we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
How can I turn to it
'Cause I'm all locked up in this
Dark place -
And I do not know
I'm as good as dead
My head aches -
Warped and tied up
I need to kill this pain
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm six feet underground
How long I'm tied up
My mind in knots -
My stomach reels
In concern for what I might do or What I've done
It's got me living in fear
Well I know
These voices must be my soul
I've had enough I've had enough of being alone
But I've got no place to go
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm six feet under ground
In my grave
Lying wired shut and quiet in my grave
Leave me here
Leave me here to waste here
So young and here I am again
Talking to myself
A T.V. blares
Oh man
Oh how I wish I didn't smoke
Or drink to reason with my head
But sometimes this thick confusion
Grows until I cannot bear it at all
Needle to the vein
Needle to the vein
Take this needle from my vein my friend
I said
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone
In my grave
Lying
Lying cold in my grave
The reason -
My reason
Take my head off this terror
The fearing won't come back
I can't see
My mind's all wiped clean
The needle
Make my great escape
I seem caught in time
My head leaves me behind
Body fall cold
Open wide
Oh so good I'll eat you
Take me for a ride
In your sweet delicious
Perfect little mouth
Thereupon I linger
You will have no doubt
I'll do my best for you I do
Love
Let's stop to get it going
Lost myself just thinking
About the two of us
From each other drinking
Begin with the lips
Fingertips and kissing
Turn me inside out
I do my best for you
Up and down we go
From the top you push me
This is such a thrill
Lost in love and dancing
Shake your tambourine
You blow my head open
Of one thing I'm sure
I do my best for you I do
For you I would crawl
Through the darkest dungeon
Climb the castle wall
If you are my Rapunzel
You let your hair down
Right in through your window
Good they locked the door cuz
I do my best for you
I think the world of you
All of my heart I do
Blood through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
I give my world to you
To you I will be true
Too good to be real
Smell of something cooking
My soul up to steal
From the food we're filling
What you've given me
For it there is no measure
Of one thing I know
I give my best for you
I think the world of you
All of my heart I do
Blood through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
From you my strength is full
To carry your burdens too
I give my world to you
Hip lock up so tight
You drive me crazy
Crazy is all right
With you looking at me
You make me feel high
Every single thing you do to me
Is like I'm drunk
Oh, rain, well, in your dreams, rain, right
Go up and rain when you're flying
You don't know what you don't know
You know what you don't know
And you know what you know
Why rain?
But you're evil
I have deep confidence in me
Rain, but sure is rain
I won't go away from you
Oh, I am the devil, I am rain
The devil hides in you, to play again
Oh yeah God
Sometimes I'll sleep on it
This life I would maybe think to hang it up in the cupboard
And hope for something better
Isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day
Like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away
Just thinking out loud
Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
But looking at my blood
It's alive right now
Deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate moving wine to tears
Drinking it deep
Then an evening spent dancing
It's you and me
This love will open our world
From the dark side we can see a glow of something bright
There's much more than we see here
Don't burn the day away,
Don't burn the day
Don't burn the day
Is this not enough
This blessed sip of life
Is it not enough
Staring down at the ground
Oh then complain and pray more from above
Greedy little pig
Stop just watch your world trickle away
Oh it's your problem now
It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years
Just love will open our eyes
Just love will put the hope back in our minds
Much more than we could ever know, oh so
Don't burn the day, away
Don't burn the day, away
Come sister my brother
Shake up your bones shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come pouring in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Don't think of when you're gone
Love love love what more is there
Cuz we need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There are bad times
But that's ok
Just look for love in it
And don't burn the day, away
Look
Here are we
On this starry night staring into space
And I must say
I feel as small as dust
Lying down here
What point could there be troubling
Head down wondering what will become of me
Why concern what we cannot see
But no reason to abandon it
The time is short, time that's all right
Maybe I'll go out in the middle of the night
Take your hands from your eyes, my love
All good things must come to an end some time
Don't burn the day, away
Don't burn the day, away
Come sister my brother
Shake up your bones shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come flooding in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Don't think of when you're gone
Love love love what more is there
Cuz we need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There are bad times
Well that's ok
Just look for love in here
Work ourselves, fingers to the bone
Suck the marrow, drain my soul
Pay your dues, and your debts
Pay your respect, everybody tells you
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Has she really lost her mind?
I said, I couldn't tell you
I've lost mine
Words, words, words, have you heard
A bird in hand is much better than,
Any number free to wander
Fly away...stay
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Since she went away
I said I couldn't tell you
I'm okay, I'm okay
Surprise, surprise you pay for what you get
You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how she's doing
has she really lost her...
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Since she went away
I said I couldn't tell you I'm okay I'm okay
How are you?
You pay for what you get
Come and relax now
Put your troubles down
No need to bear the weight of your worries
Out on my window ledge
I don't feel safe
And I stay
Looking down on you
It's out of my hands for now
It's out of my hands for now
I can't just walk away
Be nice to walk away
But I don't feel safe
Get away, all the way up here
Its out of my hands for now
Its out of my hands for now
Oh it is
Down in from here
And down from here
Start to feel insane
Betrayed
Out on my window ledge
Now our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
And all that believe stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire
Let me in
Let me in
I start to feel like I'm crazed
Betrayed
Out on my window ledge
Now our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
And all the believers stand behind him and smile
Watch the day's lights up with fire
Looking down from here
It's outta my hands for now
Out on my window ledge
It's outta my hands for now
So let me in
Oh Lyrics
Dave Matthews
The world is blowing up
The world is caving in
The world has lost her way again
But you are here with me
But you are here with me
Makes it ok
I hear you still talk to me
As if you're sitting in that dusty chair
Makes the hours easier to bear
I know despite the years alone
I'll always listen to you sing your sweet song
And if it's all the same to you
I love you oh so well
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Enough to fill up heaven, overflow, and fill hell
Love you oh so well
And it's cold and darkness falls
It's as if you're in the next room so alive
I could swear I hear you singing to me
I love you oh so well
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Enough to fill up heaven, overflow, and fill hell
The world is blowing up
The world is caving in
The world has lost her way again
But you are here with me
But you are here with me
Makes it ok
Oh girl you're singing to me still
I love you oh so well
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time
against my troubles oh
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while I'm
in the front
the play on time is won
oh but the difficulty is coming here
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I wont tell you to stay
But Its coming to much more
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
What if they came down crushing
Remember when I used to play for
all of the loneliness that nobody notices now
Oh begging slow I'm coming here
Only waiting
I wanted to stay
I wanted to play
I wanted to love you
I'm only this far
And only tomorrow
the road leads the way
I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head
Please, I wouldn't pass this by
oh I would take any more than
What sort of man goes by
I will bring water
Why wont you ever be glad
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
why wont you run in the rain and play
Oh my head lay back on the seating
Been so tired throw away my surrounding
Like the sun and moon take for granted
Soon we move through the flood and we fade away
Lie about it
Cry about it
We'll be ok
Lean upon me
I'll lean upon you
We'll be ok
Oh I lay myself at your feet laughing
Hope mine eye made of the soul choir
Lean upon me
I'll lean upon you
We'll be ok
Lie about it
Cry about it
Soon fade away
Lie about it
Cry about it
We'll be ok
Lean upon me
I'll lean upon you
I've been high, and i've been down
My head in the clouds and my hands in the ground
In the arms of a woman, I found my way home
In the arms of a woman, I had been lost
When I'm so lost that this losing feel like dying
I hope you'll be by me then
When I'm so lost that this losing feel like dying
I hope you'll be by me then
As a young man, I was afraid
Of my life, what would I make?
I would make love, what will I hate?
What bittersweet road will I choose to my grave?
And if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
I hope you'll be by me then
Oh, when I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
I hope you'll be by me then
I hope you'll be by me then
Sick of you, and I'm sick of me
I'm sick of war, and I'm sick of peace
I'm sick of sound, Like I'm sick of silence
I grow sick of the darkness, 'til I'm sick of the light
When I'm so sick that this sickness has me dying
I hope you'll be by me then
Oh, when I'm so sick that this sickness feels like dying
I hope you'll be by me then
I hope you'll be by me then
I was just a boy, I saw what happened
I saw them beat him down, to the cold, cold ground
I Watched those big boys beat that man down
I was too weak to take a stand
When I'm so weak that this weakness has me dying
I hope you'll be by me then
When I'm so weak that this weakness feels like dying
I hope you'll be by me then
When I'm old till this oldness feels like dyin,
I hope you'll be by me then
So I will live as I see fit
There will be those who will not like it
But in the arms of a woman, I found my way home
So to the arms of a woman, I will always go
And if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
I hope she'll be by me then
If I'm old til this oldness has me dying,
Mother, father please explain to me
Why a world so full of mystery
A place so bitter and still so sweet
So beautiful and yet so full of sad, sad...
Mother, father please explain to me
Why forests march to desert speed
While snowcapped mountains melt away
What do we tell our babies, when do we say, oh
Mother, father please explain to me
How a man who rocks his child to sleep
Pulls the trigger on his brother's heart
He digs a hole right to the middle of this storm of hatred
Mother, father please explain to me
How it could be so this world has come to be
A precious balance in between
Such cruelty and such kindness please
Mother, father please explain to me
How this world has come to be
Unequaled in her blessings, oh, I see
Unbridled hatred so extreme, please tell me
Mother, father please explain to me
How this world has come to be so
Twisted between time and dreams
Oh, mother, father please explain to me
Oh, what's all this talk about?
All this talk about it
Spinning down, down, down, down, down
All this talk about
Endless words without
Nothing's done
Mother, father do you know
Why one man's belly overflows
Another sleeps in hunger's bed
Oh, we trade our world for a piece of bread
Oh Mother, father please explain to me
How this rare world's come to be
A place so full of color yet overflowing
Always in black and white
Drowning in the waters of our...
Mother, father please explain to me
How this world has come to be
While still blessed in all the things we see
Such a sad, sad home for you and me
Come out, and hold,
Come on out you
Come on out you
Come and save yourself
Come on out you
Come on we're taking the water
We're taken the water
We're taken the water
But you know
We got the freedom
We got the freedom
There's no God above
And no hell below
Oh, it's here with us
It's up to us
To keep afloat
How this sweet world has come to be
Oh to keep afloat
Mother, father please explain to me
How this rare world has come to be
Oh, let the blue planet
Let the blue planet
Mother, father please explain to me
Oh, people killing people
Kings to conquer kings
Always in the seeker
Taking the light
Away from me
Death comes to the seeker
And death comes to the fool
Death comes to us all one day
Let the river of time swim over you
Oh swim over you
Oh time swim over you
Mother fighting mother
Children killing kings and kings and children too
Castles full of prisoners
Playin a different tune
The music binds them ho
The music binds them all
The music binds them
{Ahh another line to figure out!!!]
Stronger than the chain gang
Smarter than the song
Let the music bind them
Each my face inside here?
Teach my light to wear a different?
I have many parents
I have only one mother too
Of the open west you waitin'
Sprung me unto you
Sprung me unto you
That sprung me unto you
I have many fathers
But only one mother
Sprung beyond emotion
That sprung me unto you
So I bring a word
So I bring a word here
So lights out away
Death comes to the seeker
Well death come to the fool yes he do
Death come to us all one day
Sit back and let the river of time run over you
Oh and mother make them...
Rhythm is the one I climb as
The heartbeat of the time is beating on us
Speaking of the time is beating on us
Snap up the gate shut on yourself
Snap up the gate shut on yourself
Snap up the gate shut on yourself
Snap up the gate shut on yourself
Snap up the gate shut on yourself
Snap up the gate shut on yourself
Oh yeah
Oh I was dreaming
Oh...???
Some people locked in cages
With the keys on the inside
With the keys on the inside
Ahhh well aww too bad ......[don't know]
King to King oh many colors
Paint the songs that roll to smother everyone
Black as night oh black as night
[don't know???]
If you are in the corner
Locked in the shadow
Don't try to cast your shadow
On the bear upon your [don't know]
Just step out into the light
Yes and let the sun shine bright on you
Just step out into the light
Yes and let the sun shine bright on you
All these changes happen with changes
One day has a good king
One day has a bad king
All the same in time
Great Monkey Man has gone the distance
The lucky one's going to get it all
Loving life now
Living on top of
Lucky ones always get it all
Oh, I'm hungry
Don't wanna die like a little dog
Gonna take what I can get
I'm the Monkey Man
With the great, great monkey plan
It's crazy, crazy, little man
You've got yourself entangled
Oh, love to lie to myself
To say everything is fine now
We got to keep it up
Or fall behind
I got to keep it up
Or lose the edge we found
Drive faster, build higher, still higher
I dig deeper down 'til it's down in the ground
It's found, used up and then thrown out
Crazy, crazy little man
What do you think you're doing here?
Big, beautiful world just for us
Good use we must put it to
Any way I can think to use it up
What will I tell my grandson's grandsons?
I could weave a fairy tale
A great Bible-thumping scale
When he stands empty hands
On his empty land
That's what happened here
Great, great Monkey Man
Well did you think grey was the color of bliss?
You think I don't know quite what to say
But I'm worried for myself in this
I'm hungry
Don't wanna die like a little dog
Well, I eat what I can get
From the Monkey Man
Great, great monkey plan
Crazy, crazy man
You get yourself turned in a pickle
Crazy, crazy Monkey Man
Who is the one in the middle
Take a walk
Cross the ice
Melts too quickly
For us to reach the other side
It's cold in here
But the sun shines bright, oh
It warms this up well
Oh, the tide is rising higher
Look, it's strange
Floating by
Looks just like ones that
Flow out and ride, oh, I will
Golden age
These golden times
Our golden days seem to have us
Santa Maria choose your children
Santa Maria virgin child
all our wars over you we are fighting
and all our time faith justifying
Brother caged Babylon will fall
Sister chained and bound, beaten and bleeding
The tv's on, to me this explains it
Wearing a tie like daddy speaks it
Screaming from the minarets
Later on we'll all be dancing
Screaming from the minarets
Yes indeed i'm making faces
Rain on the ground in a space
God has grown
Alone till a man looking glass in his hand
He is holding up to you
What you see
What you see
What you see
What you see is human
Don't give up
I know you can see
All the world and the mess that were making
Can't give up
And hope God will intercede
Come on back
Imagine that we could get it together
Stand up for what we need to be
Cause crime won't save our feet or hungry child
Can't lay down and hope no miracles change things
So lift up your eyes
Lift up your heart
Singing mercy will we overcome this
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need
Me and you and you and you
Just want to be free yeah
But you see all the world is just as we've made it
And until we got a new world
Got to say that love is not a whisper or a weakness
No love is strong
So we got to get together yeah
Gotta get gotta get gotta get
Til there is no reason
To fight
Mercy will we overcome this
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need
Yeah...
Ah...
Oh...
Yeah...
Mercy will we overcome this
Oh we come to far to turn it around
Oh and asked too much to be a little bit stronger
But I want to give you what you need
Mercy what will become of us
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
Hold me out
So I can see you
Hold me down
If runnings what's got into me
Cause cry as I may
I won't set you away
Oh I'm older
Still the baby gets his way
And I'll wander to the big line
And never wanna make the best 'lil rhyme
And soon I'm in the back door
And your deceit is growing big
Oh, I'm on
But you'd rather be somewhere else
But I'm out here all alone
Trying to reach you
So, hold me down
If I'vee got to fear
Hold me up
If runnings what's got into me
Cause cry as I may
These tears won't wash you away
Though I'm older
I cry like a baby everyday
Then I come into the big line
Let it all go out in the wee hours of the morn
I'm coming back, I'll chase time
And the fool will lead the blind
Cry as I may
These tears won't wash you away
Then I'm (?)
And I'm all facing at an empty room again
And no one's coming to the big line
I feel the better moment rising
Oh, I've been told
So cry as I may
if i had the world to make a day for you
i'd fill each hour with praises and shower you
if i held the sun inside my hands
i'd shine it bright inside your heart
and i'd turn my praise and focus to the thought of you
and stand you there
a statue in my soul forever
i dreamed i saw you dancing and i joined you there
and spun we did in the moon's warm light
know I dreamed that they take away everything that you held close and sorrowful for
I will love you like no man can and we will dance at the ide of love
I'll take the moon I'll take the sun from the starry sky
and decorate your nights with light and shadow like no other can, bright
I will dream of stealing you from all the things that bother and hurt you
you my love and only love alone
If I could make another day for you
and shadows taken all of you, and shadows taken all of you
and I can see my heart beat louder and my face grow warm
each time you stand by me my only love, ray on me
so if you your man and family do remember this the time we only caught short view
of each other while in some it shine
I will rake in each day and sell it to you
and sell it to you and sell it to you my love
no captain but you my love
So, um, so we've been doing this, uh, this tour, what I guess this is our fifth show we've done, Tim and I, and, uh... (applause) And, uh, so this little song has been growing out, uh, while we've been playing, sort of a little story. And the little story I was in New York City and, uh, I was walking down the street. Trying to find the place I was going (I can't remember where I was going now). 'Cause I met this girl and I asked her directions, you know. And she was, she was tiny, you know. She, she wasn't young, she was just tiny. And, uh, so I asked her directions and she said, 'Oh that's the way down there, walk over there, go down there, you walk over there, and you go down there and then you're there.' Something like that, anyway. So, uh, but I walked about ten paces away and I was thinking... Daaamn, that girl was fine. And, oh, I turned around to tell her so, and ask her maybe her name, or maybe if we should go and get a cup of, who knows, coffee or something. And I'm sure if I turned around and find
her there I would have found out something...
But she talked so good
But when I turned around, she was gone
Oh, she was gone
I didn't even get her name, oh
I thought, goddamn
With your face in my mind
And your voice in my ears
Still echoes
Oh, I bought a lovely flower
Standing there, we met that day
And hope that you would return
But, no, no, no
I can't remember where I was going
But I can't remember where I was leading to
Or what led me to you, but
Oh, and the weight is all through my head
The look of you, the sound
The way you cackled at me
From then and then, I didn't know where I was going
But always I cry
And so, hey, oh
The hands that pour my hands on you again
Hey, I will beg you, I'll beg, oh
See me, please find me again
Oh, I'm lost again
I sit here drinking coffee
Or water depending the time of day
But, oh, you're with me like a ghost of a mother
Oh, you're with me like the pain of a father
Oh, I wish I, I wish I could call you something
Other than the girl that I saw then
But, hey, I think that I would recognize you in a second
But, hey, I only saw you for a minute, maybe less
I don't hold my hand where
But I waited, honest
I'm lost now, I'm lost now
I can't remember what I used to be
But, oh, hey, yeah, weighted by the memory of
The memory of a love that never got born, but hey
Oh, hey
Do I even cross your mind lately
With more than just a laughing
Did you think as you walked away, maybe
You were, hey
Oh, I hope you did
So, hey, yeah
You would, you would have been feeling
The same thing as I am now
Thank you very much.
Speaking to Tim: Let's try to think of some other song... Interrupted by fans requesting songs.
when I step into the light
my arms open wide
when I step into the light
my eyes searching wild
would you not like to be
sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free
would you not like to be OK, OK, OK
when we're walking by the water
splish splash me and you taking a bath
when we're walking by the water
come to my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul
then I'm blown away
when we're walking by the water
splish splash me and you taking a bath
when we're walking by the water
come to my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul
then I'm blown away
I can't believe that we would lie in graves
wondering if we had spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would lie in graves
wondering what we might of been
I can't believe that we would lie in graves
wondering if we had spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would lie in graves
wondering what we might of been
would you not like to be
would you not like to be
I can't believe that you would not like to be
would you not like to be
ok, ok, ok,
ok, ok, ok,
ok, ok, ok,
ok, ok, ok,
I let you down
Let me pick you up
I let you down
Let me climb up you to the top
So I can see the view from up there
Tangled in your hair
I let you down
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind
I let you down, oh, forgive me
You give me love
Let me walk with you, maybe I could say
Maybe talk with you, open up
And let me through
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see what's on my mind
You could look inside and see what's on my mind
I let you down
How could I be such a fool like me
I let you down
Tail between my legs
I'm a puppy for you love
I'm a puppy for you love
I have no lid upon my head
but if I did
you could look inside and see
what's on my mind , oh its you
I let you down
I'm a puppy for your love
I'm a puppy for your love
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Hey, golden girl, with your hair swinging down
All of this love you have going round
What will you do when the gold turns to grey?
Have you thought now
Well, what the hay, give us some
Cover yourself with the safety of lies
You'll find it's easier 'til you face dying
Oh, sweetest smile in a confident come along
All of this longing you will done
Up and out, goes to your heart
And you will make yourself higher up, little fool
And love and go down and pay to go on
We'll lie on water, and oh
On the way back I slip on the ceiling
Caught you just then, hands were in the cookie jar
How can we share when you sneak up and go?
I've no intention of losing by beard
How they design and then we go again
Oh God, them horses were racing
And, oh, bring me down
Could put Humpty Dumpty back together again
Now the wall won't hold anyone
I walk in the slide
Wait and reach your lady
This is the short one
Short way to lay in
Oh, let her leave my hand I've given up
Whoa, how is too late now
Oh, free, just...
I am an old woman, named after my mother
My old man is another, child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder, lightning were desire
This old house would have burnt down, a long time ago
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster from an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl, well I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just a free rambling man
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
The years just flow by, like a broken down dam
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing, since I woke up today
How the hell can a person, go to work in the morning
I drink you up
For every drop of you is sacred
Every drop I drink you up
You fill my cup
The way you laugh
Eyes of a child
Lean on me, you fill me up
You make me love
So unconditionally generous
To me you give me love
And break my heart
Slip, you fall, I pick you up and dust you off
You break my heart
Rain, rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
Take all you want
For what is mine is yours
No better use is there for what I've got
Take all you want
And only hope can I, you won't deny
Your love for me, my love
No, don't cry, if it's too high
I lift you up, we'll make it, make it
When I was oh so tired
You come along to wake me, wake me
Time and time, again and again
With a smile you save me child
Oh, oh, oh...
Rain, rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
Look, we play our cards
And I question by the grace of what
We play our cards at all
Come fill me up
Oh, fill me love when I'm empty
when I'm all dried up
No, dont cry, if it's too high
I lift you up, we'll make it, make it
Oh, I was so so tired
You come along to wake me, wake me
Time and time, again and again
With a smile you save me child
Oh, oh, oh...
Rain, rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
Lately I've been feeling low
A remedy is what I'm seeking
Take a taste of what's below
Come away to something better
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say...
If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you
Take a Jimi Thing
Just to keep me swingin'
I'd like to show you what's inside
I shouldn't care if you don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Sometimes I walk there
Sometimes, God knows, I take a bus there
I should't care I shouldn't care bereaved as
I'm feeling
Day is gone I'm on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
I take a drink sit back relax
Smoke my mind makes me feel
Better for a short time
What I want is what I've not got
What I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say
If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
Oh yeah... Sometimes it's so easy
And sometimes I forget her
But I want you back again
Back again
Maybe it's lucky
You win some and you lose some
Oh, when you've found a good one
Don't you let her get away
Don't let her go
Oh yeah... If only I could love you
Just the way I want to
Oh, to have you back again
Back again
Oh, I'm just a fool baby
Playing Mr. Cool baby
Rolling round like I got nothing much to lose
But I know you and you know me
And I know you can see
So help me get my way back to you
Back to you
Walking past your window
Used to mile when you'd throw
Your sweet kisses back to me
Back to me
Oh yeah... Remember when I asked you
If you'd be my one true
Oh, it seems like yesterday
It's yesterday
Oh yeah, and I'm just a fool baby
Playing Mr. Cool baby
Rolling round like I got nothing much to lose
But I know you and you know me
And I know you can see
So help me get my way back to you
Back to you
I want you so take me back please
Take me back, oh, to you
If only I could love you
Just the way I want to
Yeah
I'm just a fool baby
Playing Mr. Cool baby
Rolling round like I got nothing much to lose
But I know you and you know me
And I know you can see
So help me get my way back to you
I want you so take me back please
Take me back, oh, to you
If only I could have you
Just the way I want to
Just the way I want, yeah
Sometimes I can't move my feet it seems
As if I'm stuck in the ground somehow like a tree
As if I can't even breathe
Oh, and my screams come whispering out
As if nobody can even see me
Like a ghost, sometimes I can't see myself
Sometimes, then again, oh
If I were a king
If I had everything
If I had you then I could give you your dreams
If I were giant-sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what in the world would I sing for
If I had it all
Sometimes I feel lost
As I pull you out like strings of memories
Wish I could weave them into you
Then I could figure the whole damn puzzle out
Then again, oh
And if I were a king
If I had eveything
If I had you then I could give you your dreams
If I were giant-sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what in the world would I go on for
If I had it all
I could take anything
If I had no greed to bring
Only the poison that's tainting the clean
Oh, then nothing
Remembering times much younger than me now
When my breath was light
When the world raised me up kind
And here mother comforts child
Every moment was waking up
But now I've grown tired... out
If I had it all, you know
I'd fuck it up
If I were a king
If I had eveything
If I had you then I could give you your dreams
If I were giant-sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what in the world would I sing for...
If I were a king
If I had everything, piece by piece
If I had you if I could give you your dreams
If I were giant-sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what in the world would I go on for
If I had it all
If I had it all
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Here you go, you dirty girl
Good God, try to love, try to, oh
God's love is alive inside you
You know who needs you
I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind
It's my aim to kill you
My aim to love you
You and I are such a pretty thing
Smile, smile, you know you thrill me
Cross your heart, oh, and hope to die
You know I'd love to
I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind
You and I, oh, oh
Shine, shine
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
You come, it's like an answered prayer
Praise God, try to love, try to, oh
I have the little death's delight
Mmm, oh, I love you
I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind
You, you, hey you
You, you and I
You, you, oh
Sinnin' I've done my share of this, still I hope the Lord forgive me my sins
Ten years ago down by the lake, I saw my sweet love - her watery grave
I closed my eyes still see her face, I'd give my soul take back that day
Hello again
Its been too long,
Too long,
Too long,
Hello again
You know you got what it is I want
Anyway I'm gonna take it from you
Hello you know you got what it is I want anyway I know I'm gonna take it from you
Hello
Hello
You know
Hello again
Over and over I'm gonna see her face
I like to side my soul together well, man
Over and over I'm gonna see her face blown away on that day, I am
I am a waste of the flesh on my bones
I am a waste of the air in my lungs
Go far from me man go and be safe
The serpent, not God pours through my veins
Here we go
Hello again its been too long, too long, too long, hello again
You know you got what it is I want anyway I'm gonna take it from you
Hello again you know you got it what I want anyway I'm gonna take it from you
Hello, hello
You know
Hello again
Tuck a low __ dock shelter me, but
Over and over I'm gonna see her face
Come at me it likes the devil's skin, man
Over and over I'm gonna see her face blown away on that day, yeah
Hello
You know
Hello
Hello again
You know you got what it is I want anyway
you know, my love, I'm gonna take it from you
Hello
You know
Hello
I won't be so what will we wait
and our reasons sew away
then we crawl out of our holes into the open air
take us so long we cried away
in corners they may feel
but oh no what I see
but I know it's not fair
baby say you love me
and don't leave her waiting
by the any one word
you call me up and say a lie
so child take'em I call to come again
and now I'm watching you
why and it's all into the old way back
we swing our hands and hope
that everyone comes back
I don't believe you're saying
I don't believe what you're doing here
tell me good intentions
and what you hang from your tree
I don't believe what you said
but walkin by my door
I find all these smilin' faces
locked up and tied
oh the rhythm, an old song I heard
wild and afraid I'll sail away again
memories fall
hey we feel so cold
I really thought it was cool winter day
not to buy
we buy the air down the wall
say this one time
we all, they could do it for a week or more
then they wait and buy it
I don't care no matter what
I will mend me one too
pour the soul out in an open page
crushed by our memories
so my happiness fell away
Neon shines through smokey eyes tonight
It's 2 a.m. I'm drunk again
And it's heavy on my mind
I could never love again
So much as I love you
Where you end, where I begin
Is like a river running through
Take my eyes, take my heart
I need them no more
If never again I fall upon the one I so adore
(Chorus)
Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
Cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart
My grace is gone
One more drink and I'll move on
One drink to remember
Then another to forget
How could I ever dream to find
Sweet love like you again
One drink to remember
Then another to forget
Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
Cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart
My grace is gone
One more drink and I'll move on
One more drink and I'll be gone
You think of things impossible
Then the sun refuse to shine
I walk with you beside me
Your cold hand lay in mine
Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
Cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart
My grace is gone
One more drink and I'll go
Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
Cause I don't need to think
She broke my heart
My grace is gone
One more drink and I'll move on
One more drink and I'll be gone
One more drink my grace is gone
Mama took everything
See you change and leaving
Come on, come on, baby, yeah
Telling go with you
Man, he don't call back
I'm worried, worried
Take him, take my time to go
And I wonder and I'm happy well say
Yeah, I'm coming
Oh aren't, oh aren't you
Yeah, Tired
And write you, and write you
Yeah, and leave me i'll turn you away
Like a fool
More happy than sad and again
I'm in a hurry, oh
Please don't go away
By the colors out of place
Please don't hurry
Turn your back
Back outside
Yeah, You come
Oh where, oh where
Oh and i tell him, tell him get in line
Oh calling stand again
Watch him, watch him as he smiles
You never can tell it's coming
And i don't want to wonder again
I beg and steal just to feed me
Taking, taking all my time
How old and lay asleep
Oh yeah
I'm coming
Oh aren't, oh aren't you
Yeah, I'm running for ya to, for ya
Yeah, and scurries
And I mind
I don't, I don't
Yeah, leave me back home to my trance
And I'm saying it
Oh, baby

And the reasons change
Please don't forget
To turn me back
Like a (?)
Please don't worry
Our lover yeah
Yeah, I scream and say
Yeah, turning back, turning back
Oh yeah
Come and turn back the screen
And it's open
Yeah
Darkness it needs me again
Please don't worry
About the colors 'round your eyes
Just because
What lies inside the smile
Oh yeah
Lover lie, lover lie
My running, feet too fast
Well I run back and call it an answer
Come on, come on give me time
And i receive
And i don't even question why
I say I'll come again
Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass and the children play
Sirens passing, fire engine red
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this
And evening comes, and we're hanging out
On the front step and a car goes by with the windows rolled down
And that War song is playing, "Why can't we be friends"
Someone is screaming crying in the apartment upstairs
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Somebody's going hungry, someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody's heart is broken - it becomes your favorite song
The way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze, or water to a fish
The bomb blast brings the building crashing to the floor
Hear the laughter while the children play war
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath, his baby's being born
Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing underneath
It must have been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
Now the world is small, compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
Watch the sky, the jet plane so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
He'll never catch her, but he can't stop trying
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath, his baby's being born
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody's broken heart become your favorite song
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing underneath
It must have been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
Now the world is small, compared to how it used to be
She said give me perspective
Give me peace of mind I
Cause the world so selective
so lopsided
so unkind
way back in Virginia
way back in my
history she said
there's an empty armed
empty handed girl
Is that me she said
and I said
you are no empty shell
you are no empty shell
you are no empty shell
I say
cause the brightest ???
the loudest ???
heavenly bound I said
now you know
plucked from the sky like diamond
plucked from the sky like spring's new leaf
whether it's
God's will
or my wish
it happened yeah

plucked from the sky like dragonfly
almost an angel, eleanor
almost an angel, eleanor is...
almost an angel, eleanor
almost an angel
almost an angel, yeah

almost an angel, yeah
almost an angel, yeah
she turns to her father
his head in a book
she said
why even bother
he don't look up
he don't look up
he don't look up
he don't look up
he don't look still
he thinks he knows me well
he thinks he knows this heart
he's memorized my mind
he's just memorized some lines
the brightest ???
the loudest ???
heavenly bound I said
now you know
plucked from the sky like diamond
plucked from the sky like spring's new leaf
whether it's
God's will
or my wish
It happened
thank God you were
plucked from the sky like dragonfly
you're

almost an angel, eleanor is
almost an angel, eleanor is
almost an angel, eleanor is
almost an angel
Oh, I’m choking, I’m choking
On the smoke from this burning house
I claw and I scrape
But I can’t seem to get out
But who then, who is this
That’s scratching from the ground
Oh, it’s my world, too
But whose gold is this I’m digging out?
When we go, where we go
When we’re dead
Is the verdict still out?
Do we get into line
To line up with those long dead now?
With the muffled tears of sorrow
Bones underground
Is this time our time?
Yes, it is
Without or with this shadow of doubt
I don’t want to wake up
Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers
Oh, it’s such a waste child
To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers
Though I must confess, yes
My view is a wonder about this
This love I possess, love
Must be the Dreams of our Fathers
I wanna go, I wanna run
We turn, so sure someone’s looking down
It’s haunting me, haunting me
Leaves us here to get out
Though I don’t believe, I don’t believe
This flavor in my mouth
Is from my tongue alone
So bitter I wanna spit it out
I repeat these words
They come out
Under the blue light in the sky
My empty pages are filling up
With these wicked lies
But I hear deep in myself
An echo, an echo
Of empty, empty emptiness
Comes up and swells inside
I don’t want to wake up
Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers
Oh, it’s such a waste child
To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers
Though I must confess, yes
My view is a wonder about this
This love I possess, love
It must be the Dreams of our Fathers
Rain on my head
Rain on my head
Rain on me
And then give me air
Rain on my love
Again and again
Why can’t I dream you away from me?
Look here, look here
Bloated, floating
Go belly down
Belly up in the water
But who is this here that’s drowned?
We followed a drunken man
He got us all spinning round
But it’s like he swallowed himself
And didn’t leave us a way out
I don’t want to wake up
Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers
Oh, it’s such a shame child
To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers
Though I must confess, yes
My view is a wonder about this
This love I possess, love
It must be the Dreams of our Fathers
This love I possess, love
It must be the Dreams of our Fathers
This love I possess, love
It must be the Dreams of our Fathers
This love I possess, love
It must be the love of our fathers
The dreams
The dreams
The dreams
Once upon a time
When the world was just a pancake
Fears would arise
That if you went to far you'd fall
But with the passage of time
It all became more of a ball.
We’re as sure of that
As we all once were when the world was flat
So I wonder this
AS life billows smoke inside my head
This little game where nothing is sure, oh
Why would you play by the rules?
Who did, you did, you
Who did, you did, you
When was she killed
The very last dodo bird
Was she aware
She was very last one
So I wonder this
As life billows smoke inside my head
This little game where nothing is sure, oh
Why would you pkay by the rules?
Who did, you did, you
Who did, you did, you
You say who did, well you did, you
If all the things that you are saying love
Were true enough but still
What is all the worrying about?
When you can work it out
You can work it out
Oh I wonder this
AS life billows smoke inside my head
This little game where nothing is sure, oh
Why would you play by the rules?
Who did, you did, you
Who did, you did, you
I saw a man on the side of the road
with a sign that read 'will work for food'
Tried to look busy, 'til the light turned green
I saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning
cause their homes were turning to water
A strange, kinda sad, big old bear
surely would happily eat me
he'd tear me to pieces that bear
Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising...
Summers here to stay, and all those summer games will last forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.
Tell me everything will be OK if I just stay on my knees and keep praying
believing in something
Tell me everything is all taken care of by those qualified to take care of it all.
Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the waters rising
Summers here to stay, and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean
One day, do you think we'll wake up in a world on it's way to getting better?
and if so can you tell me
how?
I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing
the tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting
though we would like to believe we are
we are not in control
though we would love to believe
Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising...
Summers here to stay, and those sweet summer girls will dance forever
Oh, Pray
Oh, Pray
Oh, so I'm praying all at night
And I wake up praying the whole daylight
I pray to you, and hear my request
I ask of you to save this baby
Oh, look at the girl
Awful inside, is cancer-eaten, is life-deprived,
And if so by who? Could it be you?
I see no need for a baby's wisdom for you
Oh, God, the girl, all yellow turned
Her cheeks are swollen, and soul is burned
Oh, but the girl, the girl is gone
And the deed is done, oh it must be wrong
Oh and I pray, my prayer's not heard
Could it be your deaf, deaf to mortal words?
Oh, and see her pain, and drain and drain
Could you be deaf, and blind my friend?
Oh, and so we hold
Can* you not hear? Can* you not see?
And if with words
You could change the way things are arranged
Surely you'd be speaking, *seaking* no change
Oh, but the girl, deaf, dumb, and blind
From the cancer burning deep down inside
Oh, but the deed is done
And the girl is gone
I see no faith
That I have won
*Check it out, check it out, yeah*
Well, you may find your religion
You may find your attraction
You may go, for me the girl is gone
Oh, you may find you're faithful
You may find out the reaction
But to me, the baby's gone
The baby...
Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in Bel Air
Could I have been
Lost Somewhere in Paris
Could I have been
You're little brother
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone
He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could have been anyone other than me?
Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Then I look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy
I am who I am who I am well who am I
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me
And then I'll
Sing and dance
I'll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out
And then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy
Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been a dancing Nancy a dancing Nancy
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
Cry freedom cry
From a crowd 10,000 wide
Hope laid upon hope
That this crowd will not subside
Let this flag burn to dust
And a new a fair design be raised
While we wait head in hands
Hands in prayer
And fall into a dreamless sleep again
And we wave our hands
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
All slip away
There was a window and by it stood
A mirror in which
He could see himself
He thought of something
Something he had never had but hoped would come along
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside
Where we are all confined
While we wave hands in fire
Wave our hands
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us,
Slip away
In this room stood a little child
And in this room this little child
She would remain
Until someone might decide
To dance this little child
Across this hall
Into a cold, dark, space
Where she might never trace her way across this crooked mile
Across this crooked page
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside where
We are all confined
Till we wave our hands
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
Hear what I say
Hear what I say
Oh, so be it
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
You crush me with the things you do
I do for you anything too
Sitting smoking feeling high
In this moment it feels so right
Lovely lady
I am at your feet
God I want you so badly
I wonder this
Could tomorrow be
So wondrous as you there sleeping
Let's go drive 'till morning comes
Watch the sunrise to fill our souls up
Drink some wine 'till we get drunk
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
Let me drink you please
I won't spill a drop I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me

Adore you I mean you crush me
It's times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know how I love you
Come on
Lady
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just as long as you're around
And here I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
To each other we'll be facing
By love we'll beat back the pain we've found
You know
I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking love deep inside
My friend
With each moment the more I love you
Crush me

Came dancing across the water
His galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
Palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
His coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
The secrets of the worlds
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones
They carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way
They built up with their bare hands
What we still can't build today
And I know she's living there
She loves me to this day
And I can't still remember when
Or how I lost my way
Cortez, Cortez
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
Dancing across the water
Came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
Dancing across the water (4x)
Cortez, Cortez
Dancing across the water (2x)
Crazy as I may,
Make my way through this world,
Oh, it's for no one but me to say,
What direction I should turn in now.
Cause I am the captain of this ship,
Wanting eyes and kissing lips.
The same as it was,
And will remain until I'm done and gone.
Strange, but it seems,
There's mutiny brewing inside of me now.
I don't want your pity,
Just the promise that I'll be alright.
Cause I am the captain of this ship,
Curious hands and fingertips.
The same as it was,
And will be until I'm gone.
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer,
Still think it's strange?
I won't be here for long.
Oh, I know that I feel,
Oh, wait and go again, Again.
Oh, look, I'm buried,
Like a cancer eating away inside of me.
I don't want your pity,
Only the promise that I'll be okay now.
But I am the captain of this ship,
Curious hands and fingertips.
The same as it was before here,
Here, back after all.
Why should I be hypnotized,
By the promise of a long life?
Why should I hold hope,
In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by?
Why should I lean on everything... upon
I won't be here long....
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer,
Still seems a truth.
I won't be long for here.
Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this,
On now your lips.
I'm drowning.
Walking by the river's edge
Reach my hands to cup the sky
Run down my arms a bitter blue
Turn to red and the gashes grew
The river taste me
I'm so much more than I have ever been
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Take this my arms
Take this my eyes
Take this my mouth
And God it seems to be
Completely true
Oh, oh, oh, oh...yeah
Walking by the river's edge
Reach my hands to cup the sky
While on my arms a bitter blue
Turn to red and the grew
The river taste me
I'm so much more than I have ever been
Hey my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off your mind
See you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
So we can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
We'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not where but who you're with
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
And if you hold on tight
To what you think is your thing
You may find you're missing all the rest
Well she ran up into the light surprised
Her arms are open
Her mind's eye is
Seeing things from a
Better side than most can dream
On a clearer road I feel
Oh you could say she's safe
Whatever tears at her
Whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done
She'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not where but what you think
That really matters
Think about what you want
Think about what you got
And all things that'll heal or hurt you
'Cause when that big barns full of peaches
It don't matter what the preacher preaches
The days are warm, and the weather's full of virtue.
Yeah, Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
'Cause he was messing with the preacher's daughter.
Open up your wings, make a dead man sing
Such a good, good thing just can't be wrong.
Oh no no, you can't get too much love
Oh, don't you feel it in your belly
Go get you some
You can't get too much love
Oh, time is right for loving, so come on, come on.
Can you feel it in your belly, come on.
Mama's in the kitchen,
Daddy's in the field.
Baby girl has gone to town 'cause she like the way it make her feel.
Swimming in the river, rolling in the mud
When the juice is dripping of your chin
One peach is not enough.
You can't get too much love
So if you feel it in your belly, come on, come on
You can't get too much love
Oh, the time is right for loving come and get you some
You can't get too much love
Oh give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up.
Oh, the light that shines upon the gift that everyone has for the taking
And happiness so pure as this is surely worth the making
Yeah, Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
'Cause he was messing with the preacher's daughter
Love
Love
Love
Love love love love
Love
Love
Love
Love love love love
You can't get too much love
Oh, if you feel it in your belly, go get you some
You can't get too much love
Oh, the time is right for loving so come on come on
You can't get too much love
Gonna eat your belly jelly 'til the kingdom come
You can't get too much love
Baby it's alright
Stop your cryin' now
Nothing is here to stay
Everyhting has to begin and end
Ship in the bottle won't sail
All we can do is dream that the wind will blow us across the water
A ship in a bottle set sail
Baby it's alright stop your cryin' now
There was a weakling man
Who dreamed he was strong as a hurricane
A ship in a bottle set sail
He took a deep breath a blew across the world
He watched everything crumble
Woke up a weakling again
Some might tell you theres no hope in hell
Just because they feel hopeless
But you don't have to be a thing like that
You be a ship in a bottle set sail
Baby it's alright stop your cryin' now
It's alright
So stop your cryin' now
He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper
take these chances
place them in a box until a quiter time
lights down, you up and die
Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
Driving in on this highway
All these cars end up on the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange
When all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
we all do it the same
we all do it the same way
Candyman teasing the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut, cut
On the fence, could not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
If these walls came crumblin' down
Fell so hard, to make us lose our faith
From what's left you'd figure it out
Still make lemonade taste like a sunny day
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time, I could see you smile
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You lift me up and always will
I see you in life
Hope I don't get left behind
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
I hope you
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
Nobody's laughing now
(with Neil Young)
Born in the springtime when blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
Our life was in flower as summer grew on
And life like the leaves now has withered and gone
The roses have died, there's alone
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Please understand
Oh, where have you gone, where can you be
How you forsaken some others like me
You promised to honor, to love and obey
As each vow was a plaything that you threw away
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Please understand
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Please understand
The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance beginning to bey
I wonder, I wonder - what she's thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten - without any love
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Please understand
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Please understand
Alone and forsaken
Alone and forsaken
There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men they
Drink my wine
Oh, and the plowmen dig my EARTH
None of them along the line
Know what any of it's worth
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There aren't many here among us
That feel that life is but a joke (ha, ha, ha...)
But you and I we've been through that, oh
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late
And All Along the Watchtower
Princes kept their view
While all the women, all the women, all the women, came and they went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl, la la la
Two riders were approaching
The wind began to howl
Yeah...
All Along the Watchtower
The princes kept their view, oh
While all the women came and they went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl, la la la
Two riders were approaching
The wind begins to... howl.
The money safe
The thief he take
The money safe
The thief he take
Well hello there
My it's been a long,long time.
How ya doing? How am I doing?
Well I guess I'm doing fine.
But it's been so long, but it seems like
it was only yesterday.
Ain't it funny how time slips away.
Well how's your new love, how's your new love.
Well I hope he's doin fine.
I heard you told him, I heard you said "you'd love him til the end of time"
Now that's the same thing you told me it seems like just the other day
Ain't it funny how time slips away.
Well I've got to go now, I've got to go.
Well I guess I'll see you around.
I don't know when though, cause I don't know when I'll be back in town.
But remember what I tell you cause in time your gonna pay.
Ain't it funny how time slips away.
