She comes from Boston, works at the jewelry store
Down in the harbor, where the ferries come to shore
She never really knew how good it would feel
To finally find herself in a place, so warm and real
She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads
The girl she was in New England, is different now and dead
In all the local bars, she flirts and tells the boys
While they're talking, she's from Boston
She comes from Boston, talks to her family, now and then
Through e-mails and post-cards, she tries to explain to them
That education and occupation will have to wait for now
She loves the Rosta Reggae rhythms, her dreams have changed somehow
She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads
The girl she was in New England, is different now and dead
In all the local bars, she flirts and tells the boys
While they're talking, she's from Boston
Her toes dig deep and deeper in the sand
She's seduced by the sunsets and her new life at hand
She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads
The girl she was in New England, is different now and dead
In all the local bars, she flirts and tells the boys
While they're talking, she's from Boston
She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads
From Boston

I went back to Boston
Back to the City of Lost Love
I went back to the place
And recognized your face in the stone long gone
I walked around Harvard Square
All the runaway kids are still hanging out there
I took the red line a wrong way
Across the River Charles
Something's changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
I went walking in Boston
A little bridge I used to walk on
I was slipping on a hog
And I flung into that sea of strong
Processing need not apply
For you to license to fly
Hey young lady don't be so suprised
You know you're not alone
Something's changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
It was Memorial Day
I went to where you lay
There were thousands of people
Just like you in a chain graveyard
You came out of there awake
Looking for the sky
And got a slap in the face
Well hey
Desperate needs a big led
And gets put in the place
You better know your place boy
Something's changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
Only waving
You're only waving
You're only waving
You're only waving goodbye

Spoke to my girl on the phone today
She said she wish I'd come there right away
In Boston Massachusetts where she lives
Got to get there for the love she gives
Catch a plane and soon I will be gone
And I'll be in her arms before too long
In Boston Massachusetts she'll be there
And we'll be together everywhere
You see, I'm leaving 'cause I'm sad
Got a girl and I want to see her bad
You see I'm not leaving 'cause of you
I just can't stand to sit here feeling blue
Can't go on when I don't like this town
I feel so bad not having her around
In Boston Massachusetts where she lives

If I said what's on my mind
you'd turn and walk away
disappearing way back in your dreams
It's so hard to be unkind
So easy just to say
that everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
a man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
to hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
I can't get any stronger
and I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
and hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
a man I'll never be
(instrumental)
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
to hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
(instrumental)
Can't get any stronger
and I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
and hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
Oh you look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you still see
a man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me

I'm ready for more
the feelin' now that
I'm beside you
We'll open the door
do anything that
we decide to
And I know that there's something
that's just out of sight
And I feel like I'm
finally seeing the light
Holdin' on girl
I know it's right
I know it's right
We're ready, hey yeah
You and I
we'll find a reason
to simplify (simplify)
a change of season
And I feel like it's time
we were off on our way
We can go so much farther
than we've come today
Holdin' on girl and
come what may
Come what may
We're ready
We're ready
We're ready, yeah
We're ready
We're ready
We're ready
We're ready now
We can find a way
We're ready now
catchin' a wave to ride on
Steady now
headin' where we decide on
And I know that there's something
that's just out of sight
And I feel like we're trying
to do something right
Come on make it if we
hold on tight
Hold on tight
We're ready, yeah
We're ready, yeah yeah
We're ready
We're ready
We're ready, yeah yeah
We're ready, yeah yeah
We're ready, 1, 2, 3, 4
We're ready
(instrumental)
We can find a way
We're ready now, oooh
we're ready now

Well you know I don't get off on workin' day after day
I wanna have some fun while I'm here
I play the game when it's goin' my way
And there's nothin' like a party when it's kickin' into gear
I'm gettin' ready for a party tonight
Yes I'm gettin' ready to cruise
And if you've got somethin' for me
I've got somethin' for you
Baby
It's a party and nobody cares
What we're doin' there
Baby, it's a party as long as you're there
It's a party, party, party!
I can't believe it when some people say
That it's a sin that way we live to die
You know, there's never been a more natural thing
Yea there's a brand new story, but it's the same old lie
So come on
Get ready for the time of your life
'cause I'm gettin' right in the groove
And if you've got somethin' for me
I've got somethin' for you
Baby
It's a party and nobody cares
What we're doin' there
Baby, it's a party as long as you're there
It's a party, party, party!
Yea yea yea yea get down and party if you need a cue
You're sure to find one in the crowd
Just meet some friends and have a toke or two
In a place where they can never play the music too loud
Get ready for a party tonight
'cause I'm gettin' right in the groove
And if you've got somethin' for me
I've got somethin' for you
Baby
It's a party and nobody cares
What we're doin' there
Baby, it's a party as long as you're there
It's a party, party, party!
You know a man doesn't live on bread alone
He's got to have some lovin' each and every night
And a woman's got to have it if the truth be known

And feeling the way I do
Wouldn't last a mile without you
When I’m losing the way
The things that you say take me there
My destination, my destination
Is by your side, right by your side
And I, I’ve taken so long, I know
Never had so far to go
It's not where you can be
It's what you can see that takes you there
Your destination, your destination

I woke up this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling
More than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play
More than a feeling
And I begin dreaming
More than a feeling
'Til I see Mary Ann walk away
I see my Mary Ann walkin' away
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
It's more than a feeling
More than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play
More than a feeling
And I begin dreaming
More than a feeling
'Til I see Mary Ann walk away
I see my Maria Ann walkin' away
When I?m tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away
It's more than a feeling
More than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play
More than a feeling
And I begin dreaming
More than a feeling

Livin' without you never could be so wrong
Don't need to say it, I never waited so long
Thinking about you in everything I do
Love is forgiving, you know I'm just livin' for you
And I, I never needed to lie
Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying
It's love that you see, you're just the one for me
I'm praying
Maybe I'm dreaming, don't want to wake up now
Baby, I love you, I always knew it somehow
Happened so easy, don't need to think it through
It's not so amazing, been going so crazy for you
Dreaming and hoping, hoping that dreams come true
You're my religion, girl, I've been living for you
Don't want to fight it, tried everything I know
I won't deny it, you're everywhere I try to go
And I, I never needed to lie
Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying
It's love that you see, you mean the world to me
I'm praying for you
Knew it so easy, don't have to think it through
Love is forgiving, I know I'm just livin' for you

Hey I've got no place to be
and no one I'd rather see
I won't mind if you can find
the time to stay with me
Oh I've got no time for wastin'
gotta live a life when I can
I won't hide if you decide
to let me be your man
Cause when I get close to you
not much to say
I get that same old feeling
I had in my younger days
(chorus)
And I can show you the way
It's just a game we play
It's easy, takin' it day by day
Hey you know I would concede
and I think we both agree
You and I can testify
that love is what we need
Just take a look around you
livin' for the future is blind
I believe what we can achieve
will soon be left behind
The things I try to say
are so hard to find
When you doubt what your love is
about let me ease you mind
(chorus)
Hey I've got no place to be
and no one I'd rather see
I won't mind if you find
that you're in love with me
Well we got no time to worry
gotta live a life when I can
I won't hide if you decide
to let me be your man
(chorus)

Don't look back, a new day is breakin
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin, today is the day
I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
I finally see the dawn arrivin
I see beyond the road I'm drivin
It's a bright horizon and I'm awaken
I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin, the clouds are breakin
Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play
I can tell there's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everything in my life was leading me on,
But I can be strong
I finally see the dawn arrivin
I see beyond the road I'm drivin
Don't look back, a new day is breakin
It's been so long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin, today is the day
I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
I finally see the dawn arrivin

Now I like takin' off
don't like burnin' out
Every time you turn it on
makes me want to shout
We keep getting hotter
movin' way too fast
If we don't slow this fire down
we're not gonna last
Cool the engines
red line's gettin' near
Cool the engines
better take it out of gear
I'm no fool
I'm gonna keep it cool
and take it day by day
We won't know where we might go
'till we take it all the way
Take me for a ride
take me all the way
Take me where I've never been
someplace I can stay
Don't get yourself too hot
don't get yourself too high
If we don't take it easy now
we can kiss it all goodbye
Cool the engines
slow this rocket down
Cool the engines
Why don't ya take a look around?
I'm no fool
gonna keep it cool
take it day by day
We won't know where we might go
'till we take it all the way
Cool the engines
Cool the engines
Goin' over the line
Goin' off the dial
Runnin' out of time
and it's gettin' wild
Got flashin' lights
goin' 'round and 'round
Until we get it right
better cool it down
Better cool it down
Cool the engines
And now we're on our way
No need to hurry
just to get from day to day
And I, oooh, I know
we don't have to run that hard
to get where we can go
Cool the engines
Cool the engines down
Cool the engines

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold on forever
I say there is no reason for my fear
Cos I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction, you make everything so clear
And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling any more
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
Cos I can't fight this feeling any more
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling any more
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running around in circles in my mind
Babe it always seems that I'm following you
Cos you take me to the places that alone I'd never find
And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling any more
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
Cos I can't fight this feeling any more
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door

(Album: Corporate America, 2002)
"You say love is all you need
So the story goes
There's no changin' what you believe
But you're the one who knows
You gave up on love
You gave up so easily
Guess you're not so tough
You gave up on everything love could be
Saw the way so long ago
Guess it was beyond us
You won't say but you still know
You just broke your promise
You gave up on love
You gave up so easily
Guess you're not so tough
You gave up on everything love could be
Hey, you run to me but it's just not enough
Hey, you couldn't see that you had to be
You had to be in love
You gave up on love
You gave up so easily
Guess you're not so tough
You gave up on everything love could be
You gave up on love, hey
You gave up on love

(Album: Walk On, 1994)
"Well I saw her just as I was leaving
Crossing in between the cars
Sometimes seeing is just not believing
Like a spaceship coming down from Mars
(Oh)
Total attraction
You're driving me insane
A chain reaction
Baby, tell me what's your name
Baby, what's your name
Yeah, you know I'm not that underhanded
But I didn't know what else to do
So I told her that the ships had landed
And I told her "I'll take care of you"
(Oh)
Total attraction
You're driving me insane
A chain reaction
Baby, tell me what's your name.
Baby, what's your name?
Come on girl, what's your name?
(Oh, look out)
Well, I know you wouldn't understand it
Didn't know what I should say or do
And it wasn't quite the way I planned it
But I had to find a way to you
(Oh)
Total attraction
You're driving me insane
A chain reaction
Baby, tell me what's your name Yeah, yeah.
Baby, what's your name?

(Album: Corporate America, 2002)
"Hey, you can be so unfair
And you know I will remember
You said you'd always be there
When you go
Hey, I wanted you to know
I wish you were mine
And I, I just wanted you to know
I had a good time
Ooh I, I had a really good time
You can lie and I'll still believe it
It's OK, it doesn't matter
I know that you really mean it
In your own way
Hey, I wanted you to know
I wish you were mine
And I, I just wanted you to know
I had a good time
Ooh I, I had a really good time
You know what you want
Well maybe love is blind
But's alright, it's cool
I just wanted you to know
I had a really good time
Well I've been in love
But nothing lasts forever
So just holdon long enough
And maybe you'll end up together
It's alright, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can lie to my face and I'll believe it
It's OK, 'cause there's a feeling you can't replace
You didn't mean it anway
Hey, I wanted you to know
I wish you were mine
And I, I just wanted you to know
I had a good time

Take a look around and tell me what you see
I guess that all depend on exaclty what you want it to be
Is your cup half-full? Is your cup half-empty?>br> How can you get what you need in the land of plenty?
Everybody gets carried away
Everybody's trying everyday to remind you
(Ooo) Leave it behind you
What's it take to see?
What's it take to believe right from wrong?
Never knowing where you belong
Walk On
Walk On
Sometimes I feel like I'm just doing time
Everybody wonders where you're going when you step out of line
Don't know all the answers, someone's got to stand up and say ";Hey!";
If you want to win the game then you know you're gonna have to play
Everybody's got to find a way
And everybody's trying everyday to remind you
What's standing behind you?
What's it take to see?
What's it take to believe right from wrong/
Never knowing where you belong
Walk On
Walk On
Walk On
There's no turning back
Walk On
Get your train on the track
(Scholz-Sikes-Delp)

I know it never came easy
Girl, you drive me out of my mind
Your fine and still kind of sleazy
Now I want to make you mine
Somehow, I don't believe you
I really need you now
You know you're so good at teasing
Maybe that's what I like
Sometimes you're hot when you're freezing
Don't want to let you out of my sight
Somehow, I don't believe you
I really need you
I don't believe you
And I really need you
(Hey) You never believe what I say
You're gonna surrender someday
Surrender to me
Surrender to me
Surrender to me all the way
Surrender to me all the way (yeah, yeah)
Surrender to me
You've got an attitude
A hardheaded woman that I can't refuse
Your love is kind of rude
You love me like you got nothing to lose
Somehow, I don't believe you
I really need you
I don't believe you
And I really need you
(Hey) You never believe what I say
You're gonna surrender someday
Surrender to me
Surrender to me
Surrender to me all the way
Surrender to me all the way (yeah, yeah)
Surrender to me
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
Surrender to me all the way
Surrender to me
Surrender

"I would do anything, anything a man can do
You're my strength and weakness
I give it all for you.
I would climb any mountain.
How can I make you see?
Though the stars may fall, it will always be you and me
The light in your eyes is all the hope I need
There's so much you can give.
Your smile is my reason to live.
Just take my hand, we'll make a stand
I know that we can make it.
(Hey) It's you and me. The world will see.
I know that we can make it, you and me.
I see you, full of sadness
Wondering 'bout this world we've made
There's a space between us all
Love has seen some better days
Oh, we can make it.
Oh, we can make it.
The love in your eyes is all I need to know
I'm never letting go
I'm here for you heart and soul
Just take my hand, we'll make a stand
I know that we can make it.
(Hey) It's you and me, the world will see
I know that we can make it.
I know that we can make it (Hey, yeah)
Just take my hand, we'll make a stand
I know that we can make it
(Hey) It's you and me. The world will see
I know that we can make it.
I know that we can make it.

Instrumental
(Scholz)

Take a look around tell me what you can see
I guess that all depends on exactly what you want it to be
Don't know all the answers everybody's running away, hey
If you want to win the game then you know it's a shame not to play
Everybody get carried away
And everybody's got something to say
to remind you
Keep looking behind you
It's never easy to see
What it takes to believe right from wrong
Never going back where I've gone
Walk On
Walk On
Walk On
Walk On
Hey alright, we're not gonna turn back now
Walk On
Walk On
Just Walk On

"Can't help this feeling,
Can't help this feeling,
I can't believe it's open for discussion.
We've said our goodbyes.
I've been a fool not to see the repercussions.
You've had in my life.
I'm at the point of no return.
I've finally crossed the line.
Don't want to stop and watch the bridges burn,
'Cause I can't stand to see you stay behind.
I need your love.
I want you every way.
I need your love.
Can't help this feeling coming back everyday.
I stayed around hoping you'd discover
How much there was to lose.
I spelled it out, I led you to the water,
But you're too blind to choose.
I gave it everything and more to make it.
I've waited for so long.
I saw the chance to run and had to take it,
But something's missing and I know it's wrong.
I need your love.
I want you every way.
And I need your love.
Can't help this feeling coming back everyday.
I've passed the point of no return,
And all the tears have dried.
Don't want to stop and watch the bridges burn
'Cause I keep wishing I was on your side.
I need your love.
I want you every way.
And I need your love.
Can't help this feeling.
I need your love.
I want you every way.
I need your love.

What does it take to be a man?
What does it take to see
It's all heart and soul
A gentle hand?
So easy to want and so hard to give
How can you be a man
'Till you see beyond the life you live?
Oh, what does it take to be a man?
We can be blind, but a man tries to see
It takes tenderness
For a man to be what he can be
And what does it mean
If you're weak or strong?
A gentle feelin'
can make it right or make it wrong
What does it take to be a man?
The will to give and not receive
The strength to say what you believe
The heart to feel what others feel inside
To see what they can see
A man is somethin' that's real
It's not what you are
It's what you can feel
It can't be too late
To look through the hate and see
I know that's what a man can be
(Scholz)

Ooohh, still in love with you
You know I need you baby, to stand by me.
Can't you see I need you, baby.
Oooh, I'm still in love with you.
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
You know that where there's a will there's a way.
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can't you see what you means to me?
Don't leave me alone tonight,
'Cause I still love you.
I love you
(Tom Scholz, Brad Delp)

Somethin' changin' for me inside
Took a long time
Now there's nothin' for me to hide
I say what's on my mind
Changes, makin' me see the light
I finally see wrong from right
Now I can see every sign.
Oooh, I think I like it
I think I like what I'm feelin'
Even though it's such a surprise
But you know
Oooh, I think I really like it
I think I like what I feel
And changes really open your eyes
Oh, look at the world we make
What have we begun?
People livin' for what they take
All for number one
Changes makin' me see the light
I finally see the light
I finally see wrong from right
Now that it's all said and done
Oooh, I think I like it
I think I like what I'm feelin'
Even though it's such a surprise
But you know
Oooh, I think I really like it
I think I like what I feel
And changes really open your eyes
Oh doesn't love say enough
When you realize?
People try to come on so tough
All to fantasize
Changes takin' me through the night
I finally see the light
I've opened my eyes
Those changes can open you eyes
(Scholz, J. English)

Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha see what you mean to me?
Everyday I think of you,
You're on my mind.
Some things in the past
Are better left behind.
Every night I dream of you,
The images as clear as day.
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
You know that where there's a will there's a way.
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can't you see what it means to me?
Don't leave me alone tonight,
'Cause I still love you.
We've had our time apart
And I knew right from the start
I could never change
The way I feel about you baby.
We can sit here all night long
And separate the right from the wrong
But love won't wait.
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
You know that where there's a will there's a way.
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can't you see what it means to me?
Don't leave me alone tonight,
'Cause I still love you.
Ooohh, still in love with you
You know I need you baby, to stand by me.
Can't you see I need you, baby.
Oooh, I'm still in love with you.
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
You know that where there's a will there's a way.
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can't you see what you means to me?
Don't leave me alone tonight,
'Cause I still love you.
I love you
(Gary Green, Tom Scholz, and Brad Delp)

Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's something I just have to say
I don't think I can hide what I'm feelin' inside
Another day, knowin' I love you
And I, I'm getting too close again
I don't want to see it end
If I tell you tonight would you turn in the light
Walk away knowin' I love you?
I'm gonna take you by surprise and make you realize Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away, I can't wait another day Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man and make you understand Amanda
I love you
I feel like today's the day
I'm lookin' for the words to say
Do you wanna be free are you ready for me
To feel this way, I don't wanna lose you
So it may be too soon I know
The feeling takes so long to grow
If I tell you today will you turn me away
And let me go, I don't wanna lose you
I'm gonna take you by surprise and make you realize Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away, I can't wait another day Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man and make you understand Amanda
I love you
You and I, I know that we can't wait
And I swear, I swear it's not a lie girl
Tomorrow may be too late
You, you and I girl
We can share the life together
It's now or never
And tomorrow may be too late
And feelin', feelin' the way I do
I don't wanna wait my whole life through

"Now if you're thinkin' 'bout a love that left you,
Thinkin' you should hide away.
Girl I think it's wrong
You just try to be strong now babe.
Listen to what I've got to say
I know the feelin' that you feel today.
But don't be afraid of love.
Tell you how I feel about you.
Tell you what you want to hear.
Tell you that it's true.
But it's all up to you now babe.
Don't let your love disappear.
Can't believe that I'll be stayin' here.
But don't be afraid of love.
Baby don't you know good love is hard to find.
Don't you think I know what's goin' through your mind.
One man left you cryin' so you shut the door.
Just let me inside that's what my love is for.
Tell you how I feel about you.
Tell you what you want to hear.
Tell you that it's true.
But it's all up to you now babe.
Don't let your love disappear.
Can't believe that I'll be stayin' here.

Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road to try to make ends meet
Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
No, we didn't have much money
We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play
People came alive.
Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis
We were getting pretty good at the game
People stood in line and didn't seem to mind
You know everybody knew our name
Livin' on rock-n-roll music
Never worry 'bout the things we were missing
When we got up on the stage and got ready to play
Everybody'd listen.
Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Playin' for a week in Rhode Island
A man came to the stage one night
He smoked a big cigar
Drove a Cadillac car
And said, ";Boys, I think this bands outta-sight
Sign a record company contract
You know I've got great expectations
When I hear you on the car radio
You're goin' to be a sensation!";
Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Scholz)

Now, I'm not like this,
I'm really kind of shy,
But I get this feeling
Whenever you walk by.
I don't want to down you,
I wanna make you high.
If you could see your way to me,
Come on and let me try.
Chorus :-
Let me take you home tonight.
Mama, now it's alright.
Let me take you home tonight,
I'll show you sweet delight.
You must understand this.
I've watched you for so long
That I feel I've known you,
I know it can't be wrong.
If we just get together
I wanna make you see
I'm dreaming of your sweet love tonight,
So mama let it be.
Chorus
I don't wanna make excuses.
I don't wanna lie.
I just got to get loose
With you tonight.
[Guitar Solo]
Chorus
I don't wanna make excuses.
I don't wanna lie.
I just got to get loose
With you tonight.
I don't want to down you,
I wanna make you high.
And I get this feeling
Whenever you walk by.
If we just get together
I wanna make you see
I'm dreaming of your sweet love tonight,
So mama let it be.
Chorus
I'm gonna show you sweet delight.
Show you sweet delight,
Pretty mama, mama,
Show you sweet delight.

Day is night in New York City.
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living thing that's died.
Chorus :-
Gonna hitch a ride,
Head for the other side;
Leave it all behind,
Never change my mind.
Gonna sail away,
Sunlight's another day;
Freedom on my mind,
Carry me away for the last time.
Ooooh yeah.
Life is like the coldest winter.
People freeze the tears I cry.
Words of hail their minds are into.
I've got to crack this ice and fly.
Chorus
[Keyboard Solo]
[Guitar Solo]

It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin', yeah
And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
Sail on, on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say.
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door.
It's been such a long time. It's been such a long time.
Well I get so lonely when I am without you
But in my mind, deep in my mind,
I can't forget about you
Good times, and faces that remind me
I'm tryin' to forget your name and leave it all behind me
You're comin' back to find me.
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I'v e been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of y our front door.
It's been such a long time. It's been such a long time.
Yeah. It's been such a long time, I think I should be goin', yeah
And time dosnt wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
There's a long road, I've gotta stay in time with
I've got to keep on chasin' that dream, though I may never find it
I'm always just behind it.
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' along
Takin' my time, just movin' along
Takin' my time, takin' my time...
(Scholz)

You should have seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missing
You should have known by the tone of my voice maybe
But you didn’t listen
And you played dead, but you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissing
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cos it was us baby, way before then
And we’re still together
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on loving you
Cos it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on loving you
Cos it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
Baby, I'm gonna keep on loving you
Cos it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep

I stand on my own
And wonder if you've ever been alone with all the world around you
Say the word; I'd be there
And like a fool I'd go anywhere
Just like the day I found you
Tell me what you see
Tell me you believe in my love
Tell me what you need
Tell me you believe in my love
I don't understand what to say
You take my breath then you walk away
Your life goes on without me
And you can look right at me
But in your eyes it's a mystery
What do you fell about me?
Tell me if it's real
Tell me what you feel in my love
Tell me what you see
Tell me you believe in my love
Tell me what to give
Tell me I can live for your love
Tell me not to leave
Tell me to believe in your love
I don't really know what to say
I don't know how but I could learn to pray
If prayin' makes you hear me
I could stay on my own
And wonder if I'd have ever known
But I just want you near me
Tell me if it's real
Tell me what you feel in my love
Tell me what you need
Tell me you believe in my love
Tell me what to give
Tell me how to live for your love
Tell me what you see

Now if your feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues
you've been payin'
Future's comin' much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you keep on stayin'
Can't decide on which way to go
CHORUS
I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People living in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Now you're climbing to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be gone
CHORUS
Take a look ahead
Take a look ahead
Yea,yea,yea, yea
Well everybody's got advice they just
keep on givin'
Dosen't mean to much to me
Lots of people have to make believe
they're livin'
Can't decide who they should be
CHORUS
Take a look ahead
Take a look ahead
Yea,yea,yea, yea

I didn’t mean to fall in love
I didn’t mean to fall in love
And all I need to say
I can’t go on the way things are
How can I lead the way
It feels so wrong to be so far away
Ooh, from you tonight
Cos I, I can’t survive
Didn’t know you wouldn’t come tonight
Didn’t handle love either
Didn’t know the guy would start a fight
Didn’t mean to go, go and fall in love
It’s like an avalanche
Once you fall you’re swept away
I didn’t stand a chance
Hanging on every word you say
Hey, we can find a place forever
Do you want it bad enough
I didn’t mean to fall in love
I didn’t mean to fall in love
So could you catch a plane
Come back home for one more try
I’ll never be the same
I fell so hard out of the sky today
Ooh, it’s not the same
And you, I would never believe
What you do for me
Can’t you see you’re all I need
Didn’t know you wouldn’t come tonight
Didn’t handle love either
Didn’t know the guy would start a fight

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hey, my higher power
Yeah, give me the power
Let me love you
Take me home to your
religion for the night
Let me touch you
Teach me how to see
your vision through my eyes
Turn the pages
Tell my story
let me face another day
Safe embraces
I feel it comin' now
my captain's on his way
(chorus)
Hey, my higher power
The world is spinnin'
but I'm not afraid
Yeah, give me the power
It's the beginnin'
the beginnin' of another day
Yeah
Let me hold you
Take me back into
the secrets of my mind
Let me know you
Come and save me Lord
don't let me cross the line
(chorus)
Ooh, let me love you
(instrumental)
Hey, my higher power
The world is spinnin'
but I'm not afraid
Yeah, my higher power
It's the beginning
of another day
(chorus)
Hey, my higher power
Yeah, my higher power

Just let me hear it from your lips
it's the last thing that I'll ask you to say
Don't wanna hear it from strangers
if it's over let me have it straight
I've been used
but i'm takin' it like a man
I'm confused
but I'm doin' the best that I can
I've been tossed around plenty before
I've had this heart of mine broken and more
I can't find a reason for sure
but I've gotten used to bad news
(can't find me a reason for sure)
Don't tell me why
yes it's over I can see the end
But please don't lie
if you're leavin' me like a friend
I've been tossed around plenty of times
and I've read between all the lines
You're just another in the grand design
and I've gotten used to bad news
I know what you're sayin' is bad
it's not what I wanted but I'm ready for that
I'm ready for that, yea
I've been used
but I'm takin' it like a man
I'm confused
but I'm doin' the best that I can
I've been tossed around plenty before
I've had this heart of mine broken and more
I can't find a reason for sure
but I've gotten used to bad news

Oooooooo,
Ooooooooooo.
When I was younger I thought I could stand on my own.
It wasn't easy, I stood like a man made of stone.
But there was something about you (I want you to know),
It brought a change over me (it's starting to show).
I've got this feeling inside,
Got to have you, have you,
Ain't no good to hide.
Chorus :-
It isn't easy to show
What I'm feeling inside, girl.
It isn't easy, I know
When you believe in a man like me.
When I get angry I say things I don't want to say.
I really mean it, I don't want to leave you this way.
I couldn't help my reaction (I want you to know),
I lose control over you (I just want you to know).
I've got this feeling inside,
Got to have you, have you,
Ain't no good to hide.
Chorus
But there was something about you (I want you to know),
It brought a change over me (it's starting to show).
I've got this feeling inside,
Got to have you, have you,
Ain't no good to hide.
Chorus
I am happy [?]
Can't you see?
I've gotta, gotta have you.
But there was something about you.

We're gonna play you a song, a little bit of rock-n-roll
You gotta let yourself go, the band's gonna take control
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight
Smokin', Smokin'
We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin'
Smokin', Smokin'

We're gonna feel ok
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight
Smokin', Smokin'
We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin'
Smokin', Smokin'
I feel alright, mamma I'm not jokin', yeah
Everybody jumpin', dancin' to the boogie tonight
Clap your hands, move your feet
If you don't you know it won't seem right
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away

I, I know I'm a dreamer
It's easy to see, I want to be a believer
And fly right through the air
Now I'm wide awake, I want you to take me there
The things that you told me
I don't know if I was dreaming
And dreams aren't enough
Life is so lonely
I need someone to believe in
Are you in love?
Can't you see that's everything to me
That's enough
Magdalene, let me hear it said so I am sure
Answer me, can't you see that's all I'm waitin' for?
Here I am on my knees once more, Magdalene
Time must lead you somewhere
I don't want to wait
I know you can take me there
The way that you hold me
I don't know if I was dreaming
And dreams aren't enough
Life is so lonely
I need someone to believe in
Someone to love
Can't you see that's everything to me
That's enough
Magdalene, let me hear it said so I am sure
Answer me, can't you see that's all I'm waitin' for?
Here I am on my knees, I'm begging, begging you please

Takin' my time
Hey I'm just movin' along
Takin' my time
Just takin' my time, yeah
Takin' my time
Woh I'm just movin' along

In my mind
I can see reminders of a past decay
So far behind
Like the shadows linger at the close of day
And we could see
We were timeless dreamers of another day
And we were free
In a dawning age we had so much to say
Ooh, the nights you came to me
A blue jean lady, so eager to be free
And the wind in your long hair blowin'
As we stood for the band, oh, Hollyann
Hollyann, we made the dark into light
We saw the wrong and the right
We were for life
And we would never concede it
Hollyann, we left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign
We held the line light
Can you believe it?
Hollyann
Hollyann
We could live
Just to turn the world into our fantasy
And we could give
Aquarius was really meant to be
You and I we were there to see the dawn
Side by side we had love to carry on
And I still hear guitars in the air
As we sat in the sand, oh, Hollyann
Hollyann, we made the dark into light
We saw the wrong and the right
We were for life
And we would never concede it
Hollyann, we left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign
We held the line light

In my mind
I can see reminders of a past decay
So far behind
like the shadows linger at the close of day
And we could see
we were timeless dreamers of another day
And we were free
in a dawning age we had so much to say
Oooh, the nights you came to me
A bluejean lady so eager to be free
And the wind in your long hair

Oh, Holly Ann

(Album: Corporate America, 2002)
"Different eyes with the same old screen
We laugh, we love, we cry from what we've seen
It's crazy, it's how we feel
We're staring at the walls and living out of magazines
Ooh, ooh, cryin' outside the line
There's people with disease
If you took a chance, would you like to dance
'Cause my heart is cryin'
What it would mean to me
It's like make-believe
And my heart is cryin', cryin'
Can't you see my heartis cryin'
Different minds with the same old dreams
We live a life of imaginary means
It's crazy, it's how we feel
A pilot always tries to fly without a winning pace
A runner can never decide to end a given race
Staring outside, a child's made a big mistake
If you took a chance, would you like to dance
'Cause my heart is cryin'
What it would mean to me
It's like make-believe
And my heart is cryin', cryin'
Can't you see my heartis cryin'
Different minds with the same old dreams
We live a life of imaginary means
Ooh, ooh, crying outside the line
There's people with disease
If you took a chance, would you like to dance
'Cause my heart is cryin'
What it would mean to me
It's like make-believe
And my heart is cryin', cryin'

Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha see what you mean to me?
Everyday I think of you
you're on my mind
Some things in the past
are better left behind
Every night I dream of you
the images as clear as day
(chorus)
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
You know that where
there's a will there's a way
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can't you see what it means to me?
Don't leave me alone tonight
'cause I still love you
We've had our time apart
and I knew right from the start
I could never change
the way I feel about you baby
We can sit here all night long
and separate the right from the wrong
But love won't wait
(chorus)
Oooh, still in love with you
You know I need you baby
to stand by me
Can't you see I need you, baby?
Oooh, I'm still in love with you
(chorus)

Can’t you say you believe in me
Can’t you see what you mean to me
Every day I think of you, you're on my mind
Some things in the past are better left behind
Every night I dream of you, the images as clear as day
Can’t you say you believe in me
Can’t you say you believe in me
You know that where there's a will there's a way
Can’t you say you believe in me
Can’t you see what it means to me
Don’t leave me alone tonight cos I still love you
We've had our time apart and I knew right from the start
I could never change the way I feel about you baby
We can sit here all night long and separate the right from the wrong
But love won't wait
Can’t you say you believe in me
Can’t you say you believe in me
You know that where there's a will there’s a way
Can’t you say you believe in me
Can’t you see what you mean to me
Don’t leave me alone tonight cos I still love you
Ooh, still in love with you
You know I need you baby, to stand by me
Can't you see I need you, baby
Ooh, I'm still in love with you
Can’t you say you believe in me
Can’t you say you believe in me
You know that where there's a will there’s a way
Can’t you say you believe in me
Can’t you see what you mean to me
Don’t leave me alone tonight cos I still love you

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone? Oh, it has begun
Oh dear, you look so lost
Your eyes are red, the tears are shed
This world you must have crossed, you said
You don't know me
And you don't even care, oh yeah
And you said, you don't know me
And you don't wear my chains, oh yeah
Essential yet appealed
You carry all your thoughts across an open field
Where flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones who cry when they see you
You said you don't know me
And you don't even care, oh yeah
Well you said you don't know me
And you don't wear my chains, oh yeah
She said I think I'll go to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
Where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover
And fly 'em out to Spain
Oh yeah and I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I was tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of Sunset
I hear it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice, oh yeah
You don't know me
And you don't even care, oh yeah
Boston, where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name, yeah
Boston, where no one knows my name

all the cities in the world
and so very little time and
so many different girls...
all you have to do is find them
there's a wealth of opportunity you plan your trips accordingly
a pity but the pretty ones are usually more touristy
say how'd you like to run away from these machines?
everywhere the spies are printing out your dreams
seven stops in seven different countries
seven page itineraries memories thick as bloody marys jesus jospeh bloody hell
right now were here in boston
in love with downtown crossing
new york will still be there in the morning
come back to bed my darling
four years thrown away on vows we never kept
forty-five minutes every day religiously devoted to regret
time we could have spent on medication thrown away on education
and we planned to take a trip to scotland but we never made it
how'd you like to run away from these machines?
i had julians and steves
you had julias and jeanette s
you wear your terror on your sleeve for all the men i haven't met (yet)
i had oliver in potsdam you had elanor in amsterdam
we're keeping track so carefully we've missed the state we're in completely
honestly your foot is out the door and i've got scores of offers elsewhere and keep
both
feet planted firmly in the air
and tomorrow you can totally erase me from your mind but trust me everything is
fine
because
right now we're here in boston
in my apartment in the south end
forget your year in london
come back to bed my darling
you can put the details in a letter
the more embarrassing the better
right now i can be happy if i choose to
i know that in the morning i will lose you....
and maybe you'll go mad
and maybe ill go gray
and pack up to berlin
or maybe it wont matter anyway
we'll find out that your mom was right and you'll admit you're really gay
and maybe ill wake up
in a city far away
or maybe we'll make up
and buy a house and have a couple kids and labrador and microwave
but anyway
right now we're here in boston
in eden where you almost pulled your pants down
don't worry who these jokes will all be lost on
come back to bed my darling
there is nothing in the world that we can count on
even that we will wake up is an assumption
but i know for a fact that i loved someone
and for about a year he lived in boston...

[Mr. Lif]
I've got universal thoughts in my dome
But I've gotta let you know how it is back home
In Boston - the place that I dwell
Where Esoteric and 7L dropped heads well
We're virtuoso on the track - so go grab it
Gotta say peace to my man Akrobatik
You heard us on inhuman
And we're steadily improvin'
Brothers till the conclusion
Probe lyrical my man Trevski
Rise with the critical eyes Papa D
Who believed in me
From the very first track
When I was Lif to the man
And he started back pack productions
With the archaeologist Steve
Who made madness in '95 you see
The beggining of a dynasty
And can't forget the legendary Ninja-B
He used to build with me
Before I even made a song
He said the road is paved but long
And many things can go wrong
What's up One Sense with the cuts intense
Showing up with the bliz
And reminding me to live to the fullest
Plus recognize where the bull is
So I'd never get stuck
Big up T-Ruck and Insight
Hip Hop will be in shock when we unite
Knights of the Round Table
Will be the brothers to beat
Gotta send a shout to the Governor Pete
Plus my man Fakts the producer of this track
He's nice on the wheels in fact
Why don't you give him a scratch
[Fakts One x2: scratches "Boston"]
If you search for the city of which I talk
Its about four hours northeast of New York
And if its our sports history you observe
You'll find legends such as Bobby Orr and Larry Bird
And I remember when shit was hot - we used to not
Be able to see Hip Hop without the threat of getting shot
But Ed O G held it down and so did R S O
Plus Guru came form here as you know
And I've had the honor of watching the scene grow
Pete from Dif used to go
And lock down studio time just so brothers could flow
We all were excited and none could wait
To be featured on his new very freestyle tape
MCs worked hard and few were lienient
Back when Metro Concepts was main ingredient
A couple of times a month
They used to spin Hip Hop at the western front
So people could come down and check the underground sound
Mics would open up and MCs would gather round
With enough mental force to shatter sound
No body sat around - they all stood attentive
Cause the styles that they heard and observed
Were ultimately fly and inventive
Big up to Bruno from Bisquithead
He made a fly deal with the dred consignment
To put my first record in alignment
With the rest of y'all rap artists on the wall
Emerson Radio, MIT Northeastern Tufts and BC
Keep the airwaves blaze and I remember back in the days
When I used to check Dave Mays
On Harvard Radio 95.3
That was the first time that I heard Kool Keith
Mays soon went on to start The Source
And help make Hip Hop a media force
Fortunately as the story goes
Bruno, Metro, and Dif Productions
Organized shows with well known artists
So they could expose
The hard working local MCs that they know
And Lo and Behold the skills have gotten refined
Their presence is tight and the stage show is designed
And there's no doubt in my mind
As long as we use all three eyes an'
Keep strivin'
We opening acts now, about to be headlining
Defining rhyming
I love every single one of y'all - keep shining!
"It's a B o s - t o n thing" "Boston" [x2]
[Man] Ayy whats up there young brother?
[Lif] 'Sup brother?
[Man] What's happening?
[Lif] Yo man, just been in the studio
[Man] Yeah I had a chance to check out
Some of your vibes, you know?
[Lif] Word
[Man] My son hipped me to it
[Lif] Cool, cool
[Man] I'm really feeling what y'all been doing
[Lif] Yo I'm glad to hear that cause
A brother's been working hard
[Man] Ayy, by the way... where y'all from?

[1 verse]
boston where we spit the realest
must feel us, live careless but we aint killers
where drug dealers make a million off of living shallow
and police cant scare em but they scared of their shadows
rap joseph so i might as well be herding cattle,
rowing through the sea of fire with my burnt paddles
im spitting you should listen to a boy babble
about the life and the truth that we cant handle
all my friends blowing money while I blow a candle
making a wish that my story has a twist
afterall im just a young black catalyst
bringing hope to all you modern day lazeryths,
taking critism turn it to a tip,
better quit cause when I spit im just to equipped,
I satnd alone im a little too advanced for cliques,
the chicks finnah call be baby cause they feel the kick,
this is
chorus : Boston 8x
[2 verse]Boston, otherwise known as the melting pot,
we always hip so you always hear the pelvis pop,
against the clock so we always go never stop,
trying to make bread no time for your brethren talk,
they sling rocks, move bricks, talk slick,
try to clock these dimes cause they really are thick,
Jordan fresh kicks and they so authentic
and since im looking dip you know who these chicks pick,
im just a Boston kid, raised in the suburbs,
born in Jamaica and fly as no other,
single child so don’t refer to me as your brother
cause I know your quick to leave me hanging like a cow utter ,
I utter out tracks blinded to the fact that,
if I make it they’ll be on my back like a backpack,
city on my back, put my city on the map,
Randolph, and Boston really where you at?
Boston
chorus : Boston 8 x
[3 verse]living right, just another night,
fingers on the keys, like im trying to type,
bad girl chilling she makes me wanna pipe,
but i know it aint right, yeah alright not quite,
so I ,proceed, life of a kid,
cause when you in Boston this the life that you live,
home of a catalyst, we present the baddest ish,
lives disappear and this is far from a magic trick,
Houdini ,Jamaican without a beanie,
been living inside the beanie getting green like zucchinis,
off of cd's we selling wherever we be,
went from eating wheaties to quickly stacking the wheaties,
cant leave my city need me,
my grind gives you the heebie jeebies,
wont stop til we on TV,
this is Boston

I might've spent too long. I might've tried too hard. But you didn't feel the same, promised your life away. I look before I leap and that doesn't make us strong, effects the long run. This job was made for you, and I don't think I'll ever know, I can't believe its true, I've never seen this side of you. Another night gone wrong, the minutes last too long, but no matter what I say, things just drag on this way, to finally see you smile, well thats the one thing I can wait forever for.

In her car six hours long
Whisper words song after song
Eyes wide shut we sat and stare
Long loss sought, oh, life's unfair
We always want we can't have
And we always lose
So we're always sad
Grade school crush
Blood soaked hair
Four more hours and well there
Utter words of importance
When we forget to say
She likes me, I love her
But they always go away
Wishful thinking
Lost train of thought
Shattered dreams broke
From the start, desperate yells
Cries for help, we do it ourselves
What we always want we'll never have
'Cause we want too much
What is love and whats it like
One one zero off the mass pike
Irony floods the car like air
Hope and pray that she is there

in the light of the sun, is there anyone? oh it has begun...
oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
this world you must've crossed...you said...
you don't know me, you don't even care,
you don't know me, you don't wear my chains...
essential and appealed, carry all your thoughts across
an open field,
when flowers gaze at you...they're not the only ones who cry
when they see you
you said...
you don't know me, you don't even care,
you don't know me, you don't wear my chains...
she said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new tow, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice...
Boston...where no one knows my name...

I have left my heart in Boston
And I left my soul in springtime
And I've forgotten how it feels to be in love again
And I still miss you
Somehow I left the world behind me
I can't remember how to find me
And I've forgotten how it feels to truly love someone
My God, I miss you
And nobody ever said that it would be this hard
Just want to go back
And walk with you along the Charles
You never believe how hard this real world thing can be
Until you see
I think I lost my smile in Cambridge
And my spirit in a snowy haze
And I've forgotten how it feels to be in love with life
I really miss you
So I've been around the world by now
And I've seen enough to know
That if you truly find your heart somewhere
You better take it with you where you go
And nobody told me my life would be this way
I'm watching the years go sailing by
Just like the days
I'm thinking how Boston seems to be the perfect place
To leave my heart
I have left my heart in Boston
I left it right there
At the downtown crossing

I've got a story, sounds so boring
But it's hard to confess that
At the end I had a lot of fun
Please let me go, I need to go and
I won't call the police for everytime
That you tried to kill me.
You're black then you're white
You're slow then you're fast
You're six then you're nine
Why should I last?
You've got a lie to say the truth
You've got a son older than you
You've got me now I cannot run
I'm such a fool.
It's friday night I'm all alone
And I'm just wondering if
You think of me or still about that loser
He looks a fag (YOU LOOK A FAG)
When he's walking around
Does he feel good with that ridiculous hairstyle?
You're black then you're white
You're slow then you're fast
You're six then you're nine
Why should I last?
You've got a lie to say the truth
You've got a son older than you
You've got me now I cannot run
I'm such a fool.
Oh hell, it's obvious
We're in the story that will never end
My friend, i need some help
Someday you'll understand
Someday you'll realize
Never will be too late.
You're slow then you're fast
You're six then you're nine
Why should I last?
You've got a lie to say the truth
You've got a son older than you
You've got me now I cannot run
I'm such a fool.
My way to Boston, I'm gonna find it
