Writer(s): mellin/finlay
Rain falling from the skies
Like lonely tears through misty eyes
Rain streaming down my face
Brings memories my heart cannot erase
Here alone in all my sorrows
Waiting for the clouds to hurry by
Praying that a new tomorrow
Will put the sun back in the sky
Rain wash away my tears
So when that sun appears
I’ll see my love again

I wanna talk 2 U 'bout this love affair
Is it really true that U don't care?
Seems like every day U grow farther away
Tell me what can I say 2 make U stay
Cuz if U really don't love me anymore
(If U don't love me)
I just don't know what 2 say
There's a train that's leavin' in the morning (Train)
That will take U straight 2 Santa Fe (All the way) (Train)
If U feel this thing we got just can't go on (Train)
Then I won't stand in your way
I won't stand in your way
I won't stand in your way, no, no
I'm so in love with U, U're all I wanna be
Whenever U go away, babe, U take a part of me
(Oh, yes U do)
A man's gotta do what he gotta do
But remember, babe, wherever U go, I'm with U
Cuz I need ya
[Chorus:]
If U really don't love me anymore (If U don't love me)
I just don't know what 2 say
There's a train that's leavin' in the mornin' (Train)
That will take U straight 2 Santa Fe (All the way) (Train)
If U feel this thing we got just can't go on (Train)
I won't stand in your way [x3]
[Chorus]
I won't stand in your way, no, no
(Train leavin' without delay)
(Train headed 4 Santa Fe)
Oh no, I won't stand in your way
(Train leavin' without delay)
(Train headed 4 Santa Fe)
Mm yeah
Train, train
(Train leavin' without delay)
(Train headed 4 Santa Fe)
(Train leavin' without delay)
(Train)

Life seen through the eyes of an agarchrist
So cold
So blind
So naieve
The truth beyond, will not be found
Deceiving masks, that's what's all around
So cold
So blind
Like a train, leading to nowhere
Reflections of death, but why?
Forced to choose another path

My inspiration note the sympathy
They've taken everything you want and they left you all alone
My setting sun, self appointed,
I am a fraud
You are the martyr
It's decided and I owe you several worlds I can tell you...
Rat in the sewer, scraps they left behind
Once their visionary, and they all have robbed you blind
Your broken records playing for
None fabricate song
Amputated creative tongue
You sing on and on and
I can tell you why
I'm bringing you down,
Calling you out,
Taking your shield
It's easier now
Years have been kind
Distance between
Has given hind sight
I jumped a train
Your tragedy so easy to read,
Is bitter envy
They're reaping all the lowly benefits
You missed the train they stole
And you've never...
I'm burning you down,
Calling you out,
Taking your shield
It's easier now
Years have been kind
Distance between has given hind sight

I was riding on this train
looking out the back door on where I had been
thinking about the sun and your golden skin
your golden skin
I'm looking back
out onto where I'm coming from
out into that big white sun
out into that big white sun
big white sun
I was feeling kind of strange
chasing these tracks to a room by the lake
I heard your song and it took me away
I wanted to stay
I'm looking back
out onto where I'm coming from
out into that big white sun
out into that big white sun
big white sun

Writers: Leo Sayer & David Courtney
running through my life
like a river, like a song
train keeps pushing me
right back to the place where I belong...
back along the tracks
fly a million years
right across my path
train moves on ringing in my ears...
come on board
come on board
train, oh train, take me back, again
I remember, I remember, take me back
train, oh train, the journey ends and starts again
I remember, I remember, I remember
I've been up all night trying to get this down
now I'm hallucinating
staring at the wall look what I'm creating...
look at the clock I'm twelve hours old
so many more remain
way up ahead I know I see a train...
come on board
come on board
train, oh train, all those memories, all over again
I remember, I remember, take me back
train, oh train, the journey ends and starts again
I remember, I remember, I remember
waited on the station all day
just to see a glimpse of the morning train
just to see the wheels turning round
blowing up steam,
see what I mean,
you see what I mean...

They grew up in the shadow of the armory
Land of freedom right out their back door
Brothers near the middle of the century
One of them had to go and fight the war
Somebody had to go and fight the war
And the train goes...
So he left upon the rails toward Ohiopyle
Youghiogheny flows around the bend
He told his mother someday he'd be coming home
The medals shine and the stars never end
But nobody counts on scars that never mend
And the train goes...
Cast iron wheels go hungry in the fields
Searching for that silver line a long, long way to go
Cast iron hearts go hungry for spare parts
Searching for a hand to hold on late night radio
He flew missions out of London into Germany
In letters she read once then locked away
With a picture of him smiling at the armory
The colors in that flag all washed away
It's just black and white and a hundred shades of gray
And the train goes...
That's the way it goes

How many lives must I live
How many lies must I hear
How many times must I, feel so blue
How many times must I, lose you
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart breakin' down
Or losing ground
How many bridges must I burn
How many lessons must I learn
How many times must I ask you to stay
How many times will you push me out of your way
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart breaking down - losing ground
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart losing ground - slowing down
Maybe somebody will show me - a better way
Maybe somebody will know me - someday
How many times must I, hear your voice
Inside my dreams, your answering machine
You're always there and everywhere in between
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart slowing down
Can ya hear the sound
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart leaving town, breakin' down
Slowin' down, losin' ground, breakin' down and stopping here
All I hear now

If I could ride this slide into forever
What would I give to getaway
That pain that stayed
Seemed like forever
What would you give to getaway
I know this is how I could be over you
You know this is not another waste of time
All this holding on can't be wrong
Just come back to me and I am not alone
You had your man your fan but not forever
You should have let him
You should have let him getaway
But your pride made you ride on this slide by his side to his lies
Seemed like forever
What would you give to getaway
I know this is how I could be over you
You know this is not another waste of time
All this holding on can't be wrong
Just come back to me so I am not alone
To getaway
To getaway
To getaway
To getaway
I know this is how I could be over you
You know this is not another waste of time
All this holding on can't be wrong
And I know this is how I could be over you
You know that I am not another waste of time
All this holding on can't be wrong
If you come back to me so I am not alone

Tried to write a letter
To tell you how I feel
But all I kept on writing
Was slipping on the tears from the day
When I was young and brave
Now all these hotel lobbies are filled with what's to me
Lonely midnight drivers
Drifting out to sea
And all those late night lovers
Don't make things better to me
So let it roll into me
Let it roll into you
Let it roll into me
Let it roll back into when I had you
So I'll watch the snow come calling
And I'll celebrate the spring
I'll feel the falls keep falling
And when the summers come
I will pretend that I don't notice
That this is when I notice most of all
So let it roll into me
Let it roll into you
Let it roll into me
Let it roll back into when I had you
And all you ever wanted for me
Was the time to understand
And all I ever wanted for you
Was to see me shining for you
And I wish that I could be back in the day that I could say
Let it roll
Let it roll into me
Let it roll
Let it roll into you

Don't talk too fast to me-slow-I wanna know
Share your philosophy before you go-I wanna know
If I knew better, I wouldn't wanna say
If I knew better, I wouldn't let the words feel this way
Cold, so cold, like I woke up on the street
But isn't that the payback for being indiscreet
If I knew better, I'd climb up on my ego like a child.
If I knew better, I'd knock down the flag
on your shoulder that's Swaying
If I knew better-I wouldn't change a thing

(Ron Wood, Rod Stewart)
In the mornin' don't say you love me,
'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita 'cause your perfume's smellin' sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor. Oh, guitar
Won't need too much persuadin'
I don't mean to sound degradin',
But with a face like that you got nothin' to laugh about.
Red hair, lips and fingernails,
I hear you're a mean old Jezebel
Let's go upstairs and read my Tarot cards
Come on
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Come on
So, in the mornin', don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yeah, I'll pay your cab fare home, you can even use my best cologne,
Just don't be here in the mornin' when I wake up
Keyboard, come on
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Get up, get out now
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Say what's your name again

All alone or so It feels
Where are you going
Finally knowing
That nobody knows
And if you ever need my hands
To carry you through heavy times
Or look in to your wondering eyes
To remind you what you are
Skyscraper
You define the skyline
Opposite the grapevine
Where crows and rumors fly
And if you ever need my hands
To carry you through heavy times
Or look in to your telling eyes
To remind you what you are
Skyscraper
Half way to the show
Giving every sunrise some connection
Protection from a bitter sun
Skyscraper
You define the skyline
Opposite the grapevine
Where crows and rumors fly

They call her Mississippi
But she don't flow to me
Spends her light on the Bayou
But she don't come to see
She's the one that makes my dreams
They call her Mississippi
But she don't flow to me
The shape of her horizon
Makes the morning sun
When she puts her eyes on
Each and anyone
She's the one that makes me fall
Midnight moon shines through it all
She's the one that makes me fall
Midnight moon shines through it all
She's the one that makes my dreams
They call her Mississippi
But she don't flow to me
They call her Mississippi

Texas are you my friend, you live so close to the end
Texas are you my friend, cause I'm afraid of you
Hey Maine hey, you're a little too high for me
And Fla you're just a little too low
D.C. you could be the end of me
I think I'm movin to Idaho
I ain't afraid of you
Oo, people on the outside lookin in
Mother Nature shakes, what then what then
Oo, people on the outside lookin through
she'll shake you to Idaho, that's what she'll do
Oo, Oo Carolina Brother's you make me crawl under the covers
I just can't get myself to go, oh no
Hey Joe I see your name too, but there is nothin that they can do
I think I'm movin to Idaho
I ain't afraid of you
Oo, people on the outside lookin in
Mother Nature shakes, what then what then
Oo, people on the outside lookin through

This ain't about the things I've done
Where I've been or what I won
Stand on your corner a thousand time
Lose what I got keep what I find
It's about you
It's about you
This ain't about the things you say
Or how you make me feel this way
Stand on your corner a thousand time
Lose what I got keep what I find
It's about you
It's about you
And when I get this feeling
It's hard for me to come back down
And when I get this feeling
It's hard for me to come back down
And I could be
That everything you need
And I know this could be
That free fall back to me
This ain't about the things I've done
Where I've been or what I won
Stand on your corner a thousand time
Lose what I got keep what I find
It's about you
It's about you
It's about you
It's about you
And when I get this feeling
It's hard for me to come back down
And when I get this feeling
It's hard for me
Cause I could be
That everything you need
And I know this could be
That free fall back to me
But keeping you ain't easy
With everyone that sees me
Telling me get back on the ground
It never could be easy
Instead of you just pleasing me
You're keeping me down
And I know this could be
That freefall

Hey, did you hear about the one that got away, they say he looked left,
she turned right-meant to be together but not that night,
it's when fates running late, we tend to make mistakes,
we go round and round from love to love
it's either way too much or not enough
gimme lazy days with nothing better to do
than singin oh black water keep on rolling while I wait for you
I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine,
I'm leaving the ghosts behind until I got you I got you
you're the sun through my window, warming my skin Oh you,
I got you
hey then when one of them was taken, the other one was waiting
for the next big thing
To bring them to the gates of heaven or maybe just late night in Vegas
It's true that's what we do when were going down swingin-
then coming up singing the blues
Wearing out my shoes-chasing new faces to get to you-
driving home on a summer night
Singing old black water keep on rolling- till the time is right
I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine sit back enjoy the ride
until I got you I got you you're the sun through my window
warming my skin, oh you I got you Like Sonny and Cher
Except I'll be there for you , I got you
Let old black water bring us together - old black water keep on rolling
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shining on me
Wanna hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come on take me by the hand, wanna hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come on take me by the hand
Here she comes, here she comes I got you I got you
You're the sun through my window warming my skin oh you
I got you like Sonny and Cher you know I'll be there for you
I got you let old black water bring us together
You I got you, I got you , I got you baby
By the hand hand take me by the hand
Pretty mama dance with your daddy all night long wanna hear some

So you're tired of wakin' up on empty
You left for something that ain't real
So you think a couple of familiar faces
is gonna turn it all around
You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
where they remember your name
They think that you are some beauty queen
or somethin better
where they remember your name
And ain't it good to think about the weather
Doesn't seem to be time for that no more
It's hard to hear when you're busy sayin what you want said
What you want said, it ain't clear
You wanna be where they still open doors for you
It's not hard for them to remember you at all
They light your cigarette and tell their friends
you used to love them
Where they remember your name
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin like you do today
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin this way, alright
It's easy when you laugh, reminds you of you
It's easy when it's easy, it still ain't easy at all
So you're tired of wakin up on empty
You left for something that ain't right
it ain't right, ain't right, no
You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
where they remember your name
They think that you are some beauty queen
or somethin better
where they remember your name
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin like you do today
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin like you do today, alright
Babe, you're gettin better
Babe, you're gettin better
Babe, you're gettin better, yeah, yeah
More forgiveness, yeah
More forgiveness
More forgiveness

Hey, hey, hey
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my
Left-side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you
Blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every
Single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind
Hey soul sister
Ain't that mister mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey soul sister
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do
Tonight
Hey, hey, hey
Just in time
I'm so glad you have
A one track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection
We can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat
Right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you
Like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind
Hey soul sister
Ain't that mister mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey soul sister
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do
Tonight
The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me
Hey soul sister
Ain't that mister mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey soul sister
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do
Tonight
Hey soul sister
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do
Tonight
Hey, hey, hey
Tonight
Hey, hey, hey

Home all night, nothing's wrong
It's just my nature's got me holding on too tight
So you say you're on the way
Got me feeling like I should be holding on this time
I'm heavy on my knees, yeah yeah...
Oh my, step and slide
Hope they're gonna make you feel like someday I will, I know
Cause every girl I know has to go out to dance
Before my butterfly has its chance to fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
And I know that I'll fall in too deep
You'll wait till I fall asleep before you fade away.. fade away
And I know that it won't take too long
Before you go and find something wrong, and fade away.. fade away
I'm heavy on my knees, yeah
I'm heavy on my knees, yeah
Oh, you? What you do?
Seems you got me feeling like you want me to
Feel..
But it's alright, how we'll be
Nothing that you want from me
Fade...
I know that I'll fall in too deep
You'll wait till I fall asleep before you fade away.. fade away..
And I know that it won't take too long
Before you go and find something wrong and fade away... fade away
And I know that I'll fall in too deep
You'll wait till I fall asleep before you fade away... fade away...
I'm heavy on my knees, yeah..
I'm heavy on my knees, yeah...

When I find out who I am
I'm gonna know just what to do
When I pull myself together again
I'm gonna give myself to you
Is this forever?
This feelin' I got
Not enough and too much
So free and so caught up
In somethin' and nothin'
Both at the same time
I'm either out of my head
Or I'm out of my mind
When I find out who I am
I'm gonna know just what to do
When I pull myself together again
I'm gonna give myself to you
Is this forever?
This feelin' that I'm not
Movin' at all
But I just can't stop it
Its like I'm dreamin'
And I'm wide awake too
Will you remember me
Cause I won't forget you
When I find out who I am
I'm gonna know just what to do
When I pull myself together again
I'm gonna give myself to you
I guess I was savin' my life for later
When maybe I should've been givin' myself to you
Now I will, but I got to find out who I am before I do...
Before I do
When I find out who I am I'm gonna know just what to do
When I pull myself together again I know, I'm gonna give myself to you
I'm gonna give myself to you

Well an airplane's faster than a Cadillac
And a whole lot smoother than a camel's back
But I don't care how you get to me
Just get to me
Para sail or first class mail
Get on the back of a Nightingale
Just get to me I don't care just get to me
Prokeds, mopeds take a limousine instead
They ain't cheap but they're easy to find
Get on the highway point yourself my way
Take a roller coaster that comes in sideways
Just get to me, yeah
Go on hitch a ride on the back of a butterfly
There's no better way to fly to get to me
I look around what I gotten without you, it ain't a lot
But I got every thing, with you every thing
Or maybe you could pollinate over the Golden Gate
Take a left hand turn at the corner of Haight
And then a sharp right at the first street light
And get yourself on a motor bike
And if you think you'll get stuck in a traffic jam
That's fine, send yourself through a telephone line
It doesn't matter how you get to me
Just get to me
Go on hitch a ride on the back of a butterfly
There's no better way to fly to get to me
I look around what I gotten without you, it ain't a lot
But I got every thing, with you every thing
'Cause after every day
The wind blows the night time my way
And I imagine that you are
Above me like a star
And you keep on glowing
And you keep on showing me the way
Shine shine shine
Go on hitch a ride on the back of a butterfly
There's no better way to fly to get to me
I look around what I gotten without you, it ain't a lot
But I got every thing, with you every thing
Go on hitch a ride on the back of a butterfly
There's no better way to fly to get to me
I look around what I gotten without you, it ain't a lot
But I got every thing, with you every thing
And I got every thing, with you every thing

I know you turned your back on Mother nature,
For everything she puts you through.
She wakes up everyday and tries to Greet you,
I’m hopin’ that you’ll make it Through.
I caught every morning,
Tried to reach you,
And waited for your Saturday.
With sunshine, divine, I come Running,
I’m a change a’ heart away . . .
Get out (Get out)
Get out
Let the Mornin’ break in you
Get Out
And I won’t (Get out) run unless I’m Running after you.
Thought that he would be a High-class mover.
Well, he’s high now mover,
But his class aint new.
You were born to be a ballerina,
So you danced your way to Hollywood.
Well dancin’s what you got,
But not like you wanted,
Not like you wanted anything . . .
Get out (Get out)
Get out
Let the Mornin’ break in you
Get Out
and I won’t (Get out) run unless I’m running after you.
On the big sky, nothing at the top,
so stop and get a good look. . . at this miracle. . .
On the big line, nothin’ up above, just love,
so get a good look at this miracle. . .
‘Cause this miracle’s you . . .
This miracle’s you. . .
Get out (Get out)

Get Out

(Get out) And I wont (Get out) run unless im running after you,

Staring at the dark again, you left your silhouette upon my pillow - hey, hey
Right inside the night, I'm waiting for the light, seems like I'm in the middle - hey, hey
Workin for something that I can't touch and sometimes can't even believe in - woh, woh
Cradled by the hands of fate the faith that sometimes wraps around too tight - so tight
They call me free
But I call me a fool - hey, hey
They call me free
But I call me a fool - hey, hey
Well I look back at April, but she won't look back at me - Oh, no, no, no
So I pray in May for June to stay, but she just came to wash into the sea - away
And they call me free
But I call me a fool - hey, hey
They call me free
But I call me a fool - heyah, heyah, heyah, heyah, heyah, heyah, hey
Slipped down to Mexico, started messin with her yellow afro
Slipped down behind the sheets, started talkin bout Pistol Pete, well
Slipped down to the African, started talkin bout what she can do
Well here we are again, back where we started
Slipped down to the dark again, you left your silhouette on my pillow - yeah, yeah
Well I'm right inside the night, I'm waitin for the light
Seems like I'm in the, seems like I'm always in the middle
They call me free
They call me free
Free

If I ever find truth I'm gonna let you know
If I ever find faith I'm gonna sit in every bit of its afterglow
If I ever find a way to bring love here today
You better bet your life that this is what I'll say
Give it if you've got it
Get it if you don't
Take my hand in the meantime
And let's walk into the sunshine
Everybody got something that they want to sing about, laugh about, cry about
It's true
For me it's you
Give it away, give it away, give it away
If it's something that you got layin' round your house
Man let me tell ya if ain't a kiss
It's something you'll never miss
Give it to somebody that don't have a thing layin' round like a prayer or a sweet sound
Give it if you've got it
Get it if you don't
Take my hand in the meantime
Let's walk into the sunshine
Everybody got something that they want to sing about, laugh about, cry about
It's true
For me it's you
Na na na na na na na na na
For me it's you
Na na na na na na na na na
For me it's you
Na na na na na na na na na
For me it's you
Na na na na na na na na na
Give it to somebody that don't have a thing
Ain't got soft shoes to dance or a love song to sing - no
Get yourself on the right track
Let somebody ride your back for a while
If I ever find truth I'm gonna let you know
You better bet your life if this is what I'm gonna say just give it away
You can't take it where you're goin anyway
Take my hand in the meantime
And let's walk into the sunshine
Everybody got something they want to sing about, laugh about cry about it's true
For me it's you

Teach me to fall
And I'll teach you to sing
When life keeps stealing your melody
Around your finger I'll be a string
I will forget everything I know
About love, I don't know, about love
Sure feels good at first
I'll learn to dance if you promise not to laugh
And I end up in a cast
From falling over
And you can't get mad when some girl you think I've had
Puts a story in your head
When I hardly know her so
About love, I don't know, about love
Sure feels good at first
Ooh, every spring there's a honey bee that stings
So things can change
Ooh, every fire get too close and it reminds you
Things can change in love
But Sure feels good at first
For every heartbreak, there's a sermon to be said
And this pastor in my head, is preaching to the choir
Don't get me wrong cause it's too soon to decide
But this aint my first rodeo, my hearts been roped and tied
In love, I don't know, about love
But Sure feels good at first
Ooh, every autumn colors come, that you've forgotten
So things can change
Ooh every frost some live on and some are lost
Things can change in love
But Sure feels good at first
Na na na na na, mmmmmm
Na na na na na, mmmmmm

I need a sign, to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know, that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you can feel the world shake from the words that are said
And I'm, calling all Angels
And I'm, calling all you Angels
And I won't give up, if you don't give up
I won't give up, if you don't give up
I won't give up, if you don't give up
I won't give up, if you don't give up
I need a sign to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me
And I'm, calling all Angels
And I'm, calling all you Angels
When children have to play inside, so they don't disappear
While private eyes solve marriage lies 'cause we don't talk for years
And football teams are kissing queens and losing sight of having dreams
In a world where what we want is only what we want until it's ours
And I'm, calling all Angels
And I'm, calling all you Angels
And I'm, calling all Angels
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
And I'm, calling all you Angels
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
Calling all you Angels
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
Calling all you Angels
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
Calling all you Angels

New York snow this time of year
There's nothing more beautiful to me
Except for you
Making my way on the town
And I'm seeing familiar places, faces
In my pile of coffee grounds
The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
Watching my breath rise in the sun
Pulling myself in two made one
Helplessly feel for my phone and drive away
This new rhythm I pursue
Is just my getting over you
Telling myself that I need to
The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
I'm still looking for a play no one said that it was fair
To be alone
The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road

The dust has finally settled down
The sun is shining on these pieces that are scattered all around
This house was everything we knew
It's where we kept our love and every single memory of me and you
Every letter, every note
Every dress you never wore under your coat thrown away
Brick by brick we can build it from the floor
If we hold onto each other we'll be better than before
And brick by brick we'll get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and when you took my breath away
You took my breath away
The sky has made it back to blue
Everything that's left is telling us the worst of it is through
Home has never felt so right, there's nothing in the way
There's nothing in between us, knowing where we're going is inside
Every letter that I wrote
Every dress you never wore under your coat thrown away
Brick by brick we can build it from the floor
If we hold on to each other we'll be better than before
And brick by brick we'll get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and when you took my breath away
All the pictures that we've taken and the songs that we have played
They have all kept track and followed back the love that we have made
Now they're spread out on the surface where we can try to congregate
It's not too late to believe that we can get it all again
Brick by brick we can build it from the floor
If we hold onto each other we'll be better than before
And brick by brick we'll get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and when you took my breath away
Took my breath away
Brick by brick we'll get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and when you took my breath away

California, dancing in the ocean
How I love you, better with some lotion
Sun is always shining.
No one compares to you.
Sidney baby, young and like a flower
How I want you, give me just an hour.
You seem like an angel.
No one compares to you.
You're the best book I ever read.
You're the smartest thing I ever said.
You're breakfast in bed.
When in Norway you can do me more ways
Than any other you treat me like a mother loves her baby
Baby, do I do it for you?
Oh, 'cause all I ever wanted, baby, was baby to do it for you.
You're the best dream in my head.
You're my calm thought when I see red.
You're better than punk rock cred.
You're breakfast in bed.
You're breakfast in bed.
You're breakfast in bed.
Wanna please you, wanna Japanese you
How I need you, dress you up and feed you.
Love you like a daddy loves his baby, baby do it for me.
You're the fastest race I ever led.
You're the finest bride I'll ever wed.
You're the skin I never wanna shed.
You're breakfast in bed.
You're breakfast in bed.

The color of my hair is changing,
my skin is soft, too soft for a man my age
And I am never alone
Where is time taking me
Nothing is real, this is how I feel
And nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
How did this end up me against you
With everything that I say, and everything you do
Your smile is changing - yea
Where is time taking you
Nothing is real, this is how I feel
Nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
If you don't mind doing time
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Hey by the way, when I fell to your wayside
Did I crash or just slide
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up to your wayside
Did I hurt you or just slide in
So this is how it feels to get a little older
And some would say wiser
We know what that means, maybe not
Well maybe that's what that means, maybe not
Nothing is real, this is how I feel
Nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
If you don't mind doing time
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Hey by the way, when I fell to your wayside
Did I crash or just slide
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up to your wayside
Did I hurt you or just slide in
I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in love

Would you believe me
If I said My head is spinning without you
Would you believe me
If I just want to let you know how I feel about you
Now I want to know what I can do to make you stay with me tonight
'Cause I do
Would you believe me if I leave you, cause here I go
Am I reaching you now
I'm just trying to tell you that I'm letting you go
Am I reaching you now
Dearly departed now that you've started, I'm going to finish it
Would you believe me
If I held on too tight to make it without you
Would you believe me
If I just gotta let you know I cant live without you
Would you believe me if I leave you cause here I go
Am I reaching you now
I'm just trying to tell you that I'm letting you go
Am I reaching you now
Dearly departed, now that you've started it, I'm going to finish it
Now I don't mean to test your faith
Or make you think that I wont wait for you
'Cause I will
But baby this is all I got
So I'm gonna give it one last shot
I would give you more than enough
But baby I got to let go
Let you go
Would you believe me
Am I reaching you now
I was trying to tell you I was letting you go
Am I reaching you now
Dearly departed, now that you've started, I'm going to finish it
(am I reaching you now)
Gotta finish it
Gotta finish it

Always remember I'm by your side
Such a shame that you had to go
So much more that I'd like to know
So many things you forgot to show me how to do
When times are hard I forget your gone
I go to call you before it dawns on me
That you wont be there now
But I still have these words that you gave me
Always remember I'm by your side
Always remember I'm by your side
I got two kids of my own now
They grow up so fast
And how I wish you did not miss that part of who I am
But I keep doing all that I can do
And I will smile when they ask about you
And I will sing to them every day
With voice and the words that you used to say
Will change the world one day
Always remember I'm by your side
Always remember I'm by your side
And while they grow up you will show up
In things they do and say
Like a reflection to a connection
Of who they'll be one day
They will learn to get their wings
And fly through the changes life will bring
So on
And it will go on
And you will go on
And they will sing with the voice that you gave them
Always remember I'm by your side
Always remember I'm by your side
I'm by your side

You were my ticket outta here
And I was your dream come true
You gave me everything I ever wanted
Except for you
I convinced my self that over don't mean over
And I convinced myself that I could fix it all
Two dreams collided maybe we got too excited for our own good
No more - hold on we can make it
No more holding each other while the words all break it
Move on you know we'll be stronger in the end
Now I convinced myself that nothing could ever tear me away
And I convinced myself that we'd look back and laugh at this one day
Two lives collidin' baby
We got too excited for our own good
No more - hold on we can make it
No more holding our breath while the truth all breaks it
Move on ya know we'll be stronger in the end
Hey wait hey don't you know that this is there is where the whole thing went wrong
Hey wait hey don't you wanna hear what I have to say
Hey wait hey don't you know that this is where the strong go on
And all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was you
No more - hold on we can make it
No more holding each other while the world tries to break us
Move on ya know we'll be stronger in the end
Hey wait hey don't you know that this is there is where the whole thing went wrong
Hey wait hey don't you wanna hear what I have to say
Hey wait hey don't you know this is where the strong will go on
And all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

To be that good, it must be taxin'
No such thing as satisfaction
You're makin' things happen while I'm relaxin'
Like a Sunday afternoon
My dad used to tell me I was lazy
I got dance moves like Patrick Swayze
I'm the left over turkey for the world's mayonnaisey
The star next to the moon
Now I know I'm just here to amuse you
And I don't mean to abuse you
But if I could just use you one time
Tell me what it's like
To be the queen of it all
The Neiman Marcus of the Mall
And tell me what it's like to be the one and only
All American Girl
Now I never had a supernatural feelin'
Not to mention a sexual healin'
But every now and then I get to the kneelin'
To thank him for it all
But you probably got some inside connection
So many numbers that you gotta rolodex them
So much muscle that you never gotta flex them
To catch you when you fall
And I know I'm just here to amuse you
And I don't mean to confuse you
But if I could just use you one more time
Tell me what it's like to be the house on the hill
The number one diet pill
And tell me what it's like to be the one and only
All American Girl
Now I bet you won't say you get crazy
Or that you don't shave your legs
When you're lazy
Or that you're just like everybody else in the world
You just got lucky, that's all
And I know you're not here to amuse me
But you sure know how to confuse me
So if I could just ask you once again
To tell me what it's like to be a star on the rise
A breakfast cereal prize
And tell me what it's like to be the one and only
All American Girl
The All American Girl

It's clear to see that you're down to earth
With a hold on what your worth
Like no other
And I'd like to thank your mother for that
I bet ya there's a line outside your door
And it's a line I know for sure
That you dont want from me
Like a hole in your head
I want to be just you just me
No tricks, no show
But I got to let you know
I'm not waiting in line
I'm not changing my mind for you
I'm not wasting my time
I'm not waiting in line for you
Now I think if we got something started
We would both fall in whole hearted
I'm not like no other
And you can thank my mother for that
I'm sure there is a line in front of me
And it's a line I'm sure to need from you
Like a whole in my head
I want to be just you just me
No tricks, no show
But I got to let you know
I'm not waiting in line
I'm not changing my mind for you
I'm not wasting my time
I'm not waiting in line for you
I've been saving myself for you
But I'm not wasting my time for no one
Oh But if you want me to be
Baby I'll be rough enough
Baby I'll be tough enough
Oh you know I'm rich enough
But I wont be nobody's fool
I'm not waiting in line
And I'm not changing my mind for you
I'm not wasting my time
I'm not waiting in line for you
I'm not waiting in line
And I'm not changing my mind for you
I'm not wasting my time
I'm not waiting in line

Sleepless nights and endless days
And all I do is promise to change my ways
Leave the lights on, you know I'll pretend you're on you're way
You used to say that there's a time we all deserve to lose our minds
So I lost my mind now I'm ready to find my way
Back home
Today
To stay
The way you wished I would
And I swear
To stay
The way you wished I would
I don't know if I'm gonna have to redesign my mind
But tonight I made a wish and I sure hope that it comes true
Cause it's been too long without you
It's been too long
Come home
Today
To stay
The way you wished I would
And I swear
To stay
The way I wish you would
And even if I left it all behind
There'd be reason to come back
And even though I left you far behind
I always thought that you'd come here to find me
Come find me
I don't know if I can wait this long
To be what I used to be
And I don't think I can wait much longer
For the tide to come back to me
Come back to me
Back home
Today
To stay
The way I wish you would
And I swear
To stay
The way I wish you would

What's your explanation?
'Cause everybody got one
What's your expectation?
I know you got some of those too
Are you one to fly with the creatures
That always burn up in the flame?
Or are you one to sing with the creatures
That make up the rules to the game?
I wont get hung up, strung up on the reasons why
If you knew me better
Baby, you would change your mind and leave it all behind
What's your explanation?
What's your favorite color, your sign
Your basic sense of style and date of birth?
Who's gonna win your heart
And when your heart's been won
And when your heart's been won
Is it still your daddy first?
Are you one to dance to the rhythm
Or break till the pain shakes loose?
Or are you one to cry?
Oh, but you stay dry all night long
I won't hung up, strung up on the reasons why
If I knew you better, maybe, I could change your mind
If you knew me better
Maybe, you will change your mind and leave it all behind
What's your explanation?
Are you one to fly with the creatures
That always burn up in the flame?b
Or are you one to sing with the creatures
That make up the rules to the game?
What's your explanation?
What's your explanation?
What's your explanation?
'Cause everybody got one
'Cause everybody got one

I don't understand you,
The way you disappear,
You don't understand me,
The way I keep us here.
This is not your life,
I know how to do it on my own,
This is not your life.
We were only children,
But you knew the game,
And you were busy feeling,
That someone had to take the blame.
But I know how you're really,
When no one's around,
We were only children,
Looking to be found.
This is not your life,
I know how to do it on my own.
This is not your life,
I know how to do it on my own.
This is not your life...
Even after the fall,
No one ever seemed to care,
And now you come back to call,
And you want me to be here.
I know how to do it on my own,
This is not your life,
I know how to do it on my own,
This is not your life,
And I know how to do it on my own,
And this is not your life,
I know how to do it on my own,
And this is not your life,
This is not your.
¡¡

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes
Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they love the gov' nor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the guv'nor's true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Mother Nature and the elephant man
Refill prescription to the radio land
Tatoos and interviews, another way to say
you've grabbed us by the balls and taken us away
Halleluja, another video
surgically removed, reimproved, its the way to go
I was raised on cigarettes and jazz
cheap drive-in movies and soul
now I live in basements and flats
where did the simple life go?
Talk show, talk show,
talk about nothing that you really wanna know, talk show
Freak show, peep show,
you're on the cover of a magazine, in between
there is a scene that you really wanna know
I was raised on alcohol and blues
front porches and the front page of the Sunday news
now I live in silicone crowds
where did the simple life go?
Halleluja, another video
surgically removed, reimproved, its the way to go
Halleluja, you changed your hair
now you want to change the world
I was raised on baseball and football
didn't even know their names
now I live in a suicide trap
where did the simple life go?

Walking in the park just the other day baby
What do you want do you think I say
Crowds of people sitting on the grass with flowers in
Their hair said hey boy do you wanna score
And you know how it is
I really don't know what time it was
Whoa whoa whoa
So I asked them if I could stay awhile
I didn't notice but it had grown very dark and I was really
Really out of my mind
Just then a police man stepped up to me ask us said
Please hey would we care to get in line
Get in line well you know
They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun
He said that his friends would all drop by
Oho oho oho
Why don't you take a good look at yourself
And describe what you see and baby baby do you like it
There you sit sitting and staring like a bump on a shelf rusting
I'm not trying to fool you
You really don't care if they're coming
Whoa whoa whoa
I know that it's all a state of mind
If you go down in the streets today baby you better
You better open your eyes whoa oh yeah
Folks down there really don't care really don't care don't care really don't
Which which way the pressure lies
So I decided what I'm gonna do now
So I'm packing my bags for the misty mountain where
The spirits go now over the hills where the spirits fly
Oho oho oho oho oho oho
I really don't know oh
I really don't know oh

It's love
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, my my
Well I drop myself on the cold cement
Hang my head 'cause my woman's bent
No lights on but I know that she's home
So I ring the bell another forty time
The neighbor dog made me lose my mind
Now I see her car slide down the road
It's love
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo , my my
I know how to get back to me
I know how to get back to me
Now I act as if I just got there
From doing important shit somewhere
But she don't seem impressed with me at all
So I decided as I stood
I'm done with this one now for good
But I know as soon as I get home
And see that I'm all by myself
I'm gonna pick up the phone
And tell her I would do anything to have her back again
'Cause that's love
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo , my my
I know how to get back to me
I know how to get back to me
I know how to get back to me

I know how to get back to me

I know how to get back

She don't like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
She's my baby I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her go
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby
And I'm his honey
Never gonna let him go
In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes.
She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies make her horny
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
She takes a lickin'
And keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her go.
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's a wacked out werido and a lovebug junkie
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
He's my baby I don't mean maybe
Never gonna let him go
In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes.
In spite of ourselves

Put my coat in the closet,
sit on the edge of your bed
you don't look like your pictures anymore
you don't look quite the same
and I don't wanna stay long, really can't stay
life awaits me
Your mother says you're doing better
doesn't look that way to me
she says you've come so far so fast
sure don't look that way to me
and I don't wanna stay long,
wish that I could stay
but life awaits me
and I can't wait for you
and our fathers have changed
and our mothers have changed
and our people have changed
and our seasons have changed
but you have not changed
and I don't know if you will ever change
Linda says she loves you,
she sends her best
along with all the rest
Bobby says he loves you,
he can't take this test
and I don't wanna stay long,
don't think I can stay
life awaits me
and I can't wait for you I can't wait
and our fathers have changed
and our mothers have changed
and our people have changed
and our seasons have changed
and my god has changed
and the seasons have changed
but you have not changed
Get my coat from the closet be back when I can

Venus Demilo, Demilo, Demilo
sweet Mona Lisa do you say, you say
tower, you're leaning, you're falling, you're leaning
I am a picture of perfect confusion, a canyon abandoned,
Demilo, hey, what you gonna be
sooner or later we all fall, all fall
I don't wanna be unhappy, I don't wanna fall
Went back to Erie with my tail between my
legs today
caught inside pages, you're crazy, I'm crazy, Demilo
Demilo, hey, what you gonna be
sooner or later we all fall, all fall
I don't wanna be unhappy, I don't wanna fall
tower, you're leaning, you're falling, you're leaning
I am a picture of perfect confusion, a canyon abandoned,
Demilo, hey, what you gonna be
sooner or later we all fall, all fall
I don't wanna be unhappy, I don't wanna fall
hey, what you gonna be

She holds his clothes in the dark
rocking them she whispers
her hand falls slowly from her neck
to her left a streetlight dances gently through a window
it hurts to say his name
she swears she can hear him calling her, hey Avery
there between her craving and imagination
it falls into the night
the air is still and he's still calling her, hey Avery
Is there room enough for me, its been so long
Is there something you should say to me, Avery?
pity drives him down, his candle burning out
she thought it was the answer
her pity drives her down, her years are burning out
she thought it was the answer
her cross still hanging in the corner
she's afraid to take it down
it reminds her she's gotta start life over
hey Avery, Is there room enough for me, its been so long
Is there something you should say to me, Avery?
pity drives him down, his candle burning out
she thought it was the answer
her pity drives her down, her years are burning out
she's dying from the answer
she wears his picture on a chain
she prays that the pain won't last forever
and I know that she's still praying
that the pain won't last forever
there between her craving and imagination
it falls into the night
the air is still and he's still calling her, hey Avery
why wasn't there room enough for me?

Scarlet your eyes, cover your face
If I could dance, or stay in this place
I would be King and you would be mine
I would be day and you would be time
Eggplant and Caviar for you
For you, for you, for you
Eggplant and Caviar for you
Hold up my wings cause you are the sky
Paint me by numbers and don't ask me why
I am in bloom and you are perfume
And you are perfume and you are
Eggplant and Caviar for you
For you, for you, for you
Eggplant and Caviar for you
for you, for you, for you - ah, ah, ah, ah
Apple Pie or Apple seed,
All the mouths that I must feed
Cold sheets or tumbleweed
All the ones that I must need
I would be King and you would be mine
I would be nine and you would be Mother Time
Eggplant and Caviar for you
For you, for you, for you
Eggplant and Caviar for you
for you, for you, for you - ah, ah, ah, ah
Apple Pie or Apple seed,
All the mouths that I must feed
Cold sheets or tumbleweed
All the ones that I must need
All the ones that I must need
All the ones that I must need
All the ones that I must need

It's been days since I been doin well
since I don't feel like hell or crawlin under you
It's been crazy feelin like I do. I'd like to blame it all
on you for crawlin under me-Yea
Am I wrong for takin this so hard, for tearin me apart
tearin me apart, partly tearin me a whole in my heart
Hey is everybody right, have I become so uptight, I'm givin it away
And if blame is the answer, it's under control
And if shame is the answer, I'm sellin my soul
And if pain is the answer, I've seen it all
Hey Hey Hey, I'm tryin' to calm you down
Don't seem to see it the way I see it
Round & Round & Round
Everybody's feelin uptight
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey is everybody is everybody on
the same page, am I just one to move about the house this way
And if blame is the answer, it's under control
And if shame is the answer, I'm sellin my soul
And if pain is the answer, I've seen it all
Hey Hey Hey, I'm tryin' to calm you down
It's been days since I been doin well

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything has changed 'round me
I'd tell it to your face but you lost your face along the way
And I'd say it on the phone if I thought you were alone
Why do things have to change?
You don't need my pictures on your wall
You say you need no one
And you don't need my secret midnight call
I guess you need no one
Is anybody waitin' at home for you?
'Cause it's time that will tell
If it's Heaven, if it's Hell or if it's
Anybody waitin' at home for you
'Cause it's time that will tell this tale
You're in and out, up and down
Wonder if you're lost or found
But I got my hands on you
Are you strong enough to tow the line?
Are you gonna make me yours or do I make you mine?
I'm in and out, I'm up and down
Wonder if I'm lost or found but I need your hands on me now
You don't need my pictures on your wall
You say you need no one
And you don't need my secret midnight call
I guess you need no one
Is anybody waitin' at home for you?
'Cause it's time that will tell
If it's Heaven if it's Hell or if it's
Anybody waitin' at home for you
'Cause it's time that will tell this tale
I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And then you missed me
While you were looking for yourself out there?
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as
Plain ol' Jane told a story about a man
Who was too afraid to fly so he never did land
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way?
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
Was it everything you wanted to find?
And then you missed me
While you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong?
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance
Five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had, and me?
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way?
But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated?
And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And then you missed me
While you were looking for yourself?
And did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day?
And did you fall for a shooting star?
Fall for a shooting star?
And now you're lonely looking for yourself out there

This bipolar love affair
It just ain't where it's at for me anymore
So don't let the door hit you when you leave
You throw me in the fire just to save my life
A pretty little liar
When I call you out you'd rather put up a fight than
just come clean
Get on your way to making someone else feel low
Then higher than they ever thought they could go
You already know
I'm giving you up, you're letting me down
Stop pretending that you're gonna turn yourself around
You already know, know, know
You already know, know, know, know
Don't ask me why you already know
I was the shoulder you leaned on
You made me feel like the next James Bond
Double O seven oh hell, you were heaven to me
But while you were saying what I wanted to hear
You started breaking ground on a new frontier
Always making love but never to me
So get on your way to making someone else feel low
Then higher than they ever thought they could go
You already know
I'm giving you up, you're letting me down
Stop pretending that you're gonna turn yourself around
You already know, know, know
You already know, know, know, know
Don't ask me why you already know
You already know that I'm done waiting
Going crazy hating myself for loving you
At least the one side of you I thought I knew
You already know
You already know, know, know, know
You already know, know, know, know

Driving over the bridge to give you my keys
I know you don't love me
I know it ain't easy
Friends become lovers
And lovers lose friends
That's when the fog rolls in
Oo oo oo, I'm losing you
Oo oo oo, you're losing me, too
In through the kitchen,
Where we used to laugh
Smells of your cooking
Sounds of the past
Somehow we got older
The air just got colder
That's when the fog rolls in
Oo oo oo, I'm losing you
Oo oo oo, you're losing me too
So much for sewing up
So this is growing up
Everything's going up for sale
The fog kept on rolling in
Time came to sink or swim
They say it's better to try and fail
And we tried like hell
I take a deep breath with my hand on the door
Afraid 'cause I'm not gonna see you anymore
These were our tender years, this was our street
All of our stoplights and all our concrete
Now it's all somebody else's to take
Until the fog rolls in

You and I we're friends from outer space
Afraid to let go
The only two who understood this place
And as far as we know
We were way before our time
As bold as we were blind
Just another perfect mistake
Another bridge to take on the way to letting go
This ain't goodbye
This is just where love goes
When words aren't warm enough
To keep away the cold
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
As long as we've got time
Then this ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
We were stars up in the sunlit sky
That no one else could see
Neither of us thought to ever ask why
It wasn't meant to be
Maybe we were way too high to ever understand
Baby, we were victims of all
All the foolish plans
We began to divide
But this ain't goodbye
This is just where love goes
When words aren't warm enough
To keep away the cold
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
As long as we've got time
This ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye
You and I we're friends from outer space
Afraid to let go
The only two who understood this place
And as far as we know
This ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye
This is just where love goes
When words aren't warm enough
To keep away the cold
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
Oh no, don't say it

If I go before I say to everyone in my ballet
Let me take this chance to thank you for the dance
If I run out of songs to sing to take your mind off everything
Just smile, sit a while with the
Sun on your face and remember the place we met
Take a breath and soon I bet you'll see
Without you I would never be me
You are the leaves of my family tree
Sing together
If you knew me from the very start,
Or we met last week at the grocery mart
Just sing together
It's the least that I can do
My final gift to you
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oooo
When I'm past the pearly gate, I will find some real estate
Where we can settle down and watch the world go round
We'll send down all the love we got and let them know we got a spot
For them to be and it's all free,
The sun on your face and remember the place we met
Take a breath and soon I bet you'll see
Without you I would never be me
You are the leaves of my family tree
Sing together
If you knew me from the very start,
Or not at all you're still a part, just
Sing together
It's the least that I can do
My final gift to you
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oooo

I never been on a railroad, as many times as they pass me by
I never crashed in the desert or seen a rodeo
I don't know much about the world wars or Vietnam
I've yet to read about Uncle Tom
Never climbed a real rock or seen Colorado
Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be - hey
I never had a day where money didn't get in my way
I never listened to much Elvis
I can't remember a warm December
Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be
I'm here for my sanity sanity
I am here for you
I'm here for your fantasy sanity, I am here
I am
Am I the son I think I am
Am I the father that I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be
I'm here for my sanity sanity I am here for you
Whether or not I'm walkin in
Or whether or not I'm walkin out
I'm always here for you
And I'm here for my sanity sanity
I am here for you
I'm here for my fantasy sanity, I am here

Made my exit on the turn pike
I saw the stateside toll and shuffled for some change
I paid a man that talked as if he knew me
And I could see it in his eyes
He could tell that I was running away
What are you waiting for
It's just a minute away
Travel light you might just
Find yourself there for the day
What are you waiting for
It's just a minute away
Following Rita
Following Rita
Stopped to make a call and picked up Elvis
Elvis James McCabe a future millionaire
He wrestled with his thoughts out loud
About two girls that he had left behind
And said for forty five dollars
He could help me on my way and get rich too
There was talk about after high school
I would get a job
Gig at night and she would go to some
Community school
But her father changed jobs
And we cried together
As her plane was flying away
Well the phone never was enough
For us to hold on to
Now every mile that I drive away

On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess thats deja vu
But I thought this can't be true
Cause you moved to west L.A or New York or Santa Fe
Or where ever to get away from me
Oh but that one night
Was more than just right
I didn't leave you cause I was all through
Oh I was overwhelmed, and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
either way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
On the upside of a downward spiral
My love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile you drove away
But now here you are again
So let's skip the "how you been"And
get down to the "more than friends" at last
Oh but that one night
Is still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
and I was overwhelmed, and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
either way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Please believe that when I leave
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess thats deja vu
But I thought this can't be true
Cause
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
either way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you

I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs
And everybody thinks it's funny
I don't get mad
I don't laugh cause you don't shave your legs
But everybody thinks it's funny
No need to get mad
I don't spend my time with anyone
Who doesn't think I'm wonderful
Or somewhat cash refundable at times
Now I'm out here counting airplanes
Trying to make sense of the change
And I don't wanna be just anybody
So don't try to figure me out
I won't try to figure you out
I don't wanna be some average anybody
Now I got friends that ride into the storm
And ride out of the storm with nothing
They rode into the storm with
And there seems to be a price for everything
You get what you pay for then you pay for
What you already thought you bought before
When you're up between the new sky line
The city lights and the warm sunshine
It's a long way down
When you can count on one hand what you love
And can count on who you love to help you on your long way down
You end up counting airplanes
Trying to keep up with these changes
I don't wanna be with anybody else
So don't try to figure me out
I won't try to figure you out

Knock knock, who's there?
2012 is a brand new year
Cleaning house, singing songs
Shedding light and righting wrongs
Ding dong the witch ain't dead
She's still trying to take my bread
Four more years 'til my girls all grown
Then the b*tch gotta have to leave me alone
It's all good 'cause I'm as happy as a flea
On a mountain of dogs you see
A little music cured all the hurt and put hate in six feet of dirt
I was looking for some heaven
There's no need to look no more
California 37
Took me right to heaven's door
Knock knock, woah oh
Rock and Roll
California 37 took me right to heaven's door
Here's to those who didn't think Train could ever roll again
You were the fuel that I used when inspiration hit a dead end
San Francisco got it done 415 took the 911
Thank you all for believin' in
We won't let you down again
Truth is, it was attitude
Replaced greed with gratitude
Then replaced a pretty key dude
It's all truth not being rude
Making love now, not mistakes
Working hard instead of looking for breaks
Came all the way from the eighth Great Lake
And found 37 reasons to stay
I was looking for some heaven
There's no need to look no more
California 37
Took me right to heaven's door
Knock knock, woah oh
Rock and Roll
California 37 took me right to heaven's door
I was looking for some heaven
There's no need to look no more
California 37

How many lives must I live
How many lies must I hear
How many times must I, feel so blue
How many times must I, lose you
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart breakin' down
Or losing ground
How many bridges must I burn
How many lessons must I learn
How many times must I ask you to stay
How many times will you push me out of your way
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart breaking down - losing ground
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart losing ground - slowing down
Maybe somebody will show me - a better way
Maybe somebody will know me - someday
How many times must I, hear your voice
Inside my dreams, your answering machine
You're always there and everywhere in between
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart slowing down
Can ya hear the sound
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart leaving town, breakin' down
Slowin' down, losin' ground, breakin' down and stopping here
All I hear now

My heart is paralyzed
My head was oversized
I'll take the high road like I should
You said it's meant to be
That it's not you, it's me
You're leaving now for my own good
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntan
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died
My pride still feels the sting
You were my everything
Some day I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)
She'll think I'm Superman
Not super minivan
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drown in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died
I wanna live a thousand lives with you
I wanna be the one you're dying to
Love... but you don't want to
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntan
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drown in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

I don't mind lying if it stops the pain
There's no use denying, I've lost the train of thought
I had before I left, Now I'm alone
The place I left behind, had I known
I'm counting on you
I'm all around you
I'm counting on you to take me home
You sit back in your easy chair and tell me bout the whole affair
You say I'm gonna be something some day
It sounds so easy, the way you please me
Well you say I'm on the right track
But I think that it's time that I get back home
Chorus
Bridge
Something in the wind ain't right
There's something on the faces in the streets at night
There is so much on my mind
Well you say it's here in front of me
But it's something I can't find no more
SOLO Bridge(repeat)

I can see the red, white and free in you
You light the night up like the moon
And underneath your clouds, I see the blue
You're hopeless 'cause you tell the truth
The stars are jealous of your shine
If you were mine
There's not a thing I wouldn't do
You're black and beautiful, yellow, tan
You're white as light and soft as sand
With greens and greys and oh for days
A silver lining on the way you cover everyone
Just like a morning sun
You turn me into someone I would rather be
OOO- I love your every color
OOO- I love your everything
You wear the day around you
Like it's yours to stay around you
Maybe I could stay around you too
If that's alright with you
You're coffee brown and bubble gum pink
And oh I think the shade of you is on the brink
Of changing all the ways I see the world
I could drown inside a single drop
Of all the kinds of things you got
And all the kinds of things I'm not
Might just give me a chance to see
From way up where you are
Above the silent stars
Just dancing in the sky
You're better than any rainbow
You're brighter than the sun
You look like my first day of summer
When my spring is on the run
You're gold and more gold
And you're platinum too
With snow toned, copper attitude
I don't know what I'd do without you

Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now, we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry me today and every day
Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will, say you will
Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown her my way
Marry me today and every day
Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will, say you will
Promise me you'll always be happy by my side
I promise to sing to you when all the music dies
And marry me today and everyday
Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe

Don't cry when I die
When it's my time I probably won't die
I'll just lie down and close my eyes
And think about stuff
These eyes got too wide seen too much of life's goodbyes
Should have spent less time making loot
And spent more time in my birthday suit with you
And everybody upstairs, everybody down stairs
I'm not gonna have time to hang out with them
'Cause I'll be hanging out with you
Not Jimi Hendrix, Jesus or the dude
Who played the sherriff in Blazing Saddles
You not Chris Farley Mr Rodgers oh I've waited so long
You can finally meet my Mom
Life is good, but love it's better
Even Bieber ain't forever
We all got to go you know
So you might as well go in style
Everybody prayin, everybody singing
I'm not gonna have time to hang out with them
'Cause I'll be hanging out with you
Not Gilda Radner, Buddha or the dude
Who had pop rocks and soda at the same time
You, not Jesse James, Paul Newman and oh I've waited so long
You can finally meet my Mom.
I'm not making light of things
But who's to say who's right with things like this
There's so much that we miss
Tryin so hard to be rich and famous
Pretty and thin, to win
It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young
So forget everything and just be with me here now
For as long as we can and whoever goes first save a spot
You, not Etta James, Bob Marley or the girls who won my heart along the way
You, not Sitting Bull, Ella or Bach and I almost forgot
You can finally meet my Mom
You can finally meet my Mom
You can finally meet my Mom
You can finally meet my Mom
No Steve Jobs, or Ty Cobbs, Al Capone or any other mobs
No Whitney Houston, Chet Baker, Andre the Giant or the Undertaker
You can finally meet my Mom
You can finally meet my Mom
You can finally meet my Mom

I'd give anything
But I won't give up on you
I'd say anything
But not goodbye
I will roll with your changes
And I'm always on your side
And theres not a word that I've ever heard that will
make me change my mind
Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood, and let them burn
Like stones in your pocket, people try to wear you down
Someone always wants to take the love you've found
So lets roll with these changes
And I want you by my side
And theres not a word that I've ever heard that can
make me change my mind
Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world from turning
When words stop you from feeling good
Use them as firewood, and let them burn
Let them burn, Let them burn
And underneath every word
Somebody's heart been broken
With or without words, we try to forget
Words they'll try to shake us
Don't let them break us
Or stop our world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood
And let them burn
Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you or stop your world
Stop your world from turning 'round
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as firewood
Let them burn, let them burn

Since then I never feel helpless, recess, this mess if you do
And I find that even time well spent gets bent if you need it to
And we do
Well by now I've showed you how much I believe in the here and now and I wish that you knew
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
I'll be your whipping boy
You spilled your purse onto my bed
Searching for something for your head
Since then you never come clean I mean
You wish you only could
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
I'll be your whipping boy
I can get up::
And I find that even time well spent gets bent if you need it to
And we do
And we do
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me

When it rains it pours and opens doors
That flood the floors we thought would always
Keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships
We sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion
That won't seem to let me go
'Cause when I look to the sky
Something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost
Something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
And every word I didn't say
Caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor, we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss
I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away
And while I float upon this ocean
I can feel you like a notion
That I hope will never leave
'Cause when I look to the sky
Something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost
Something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way
Whether I'm up or down or in or out
Or just plain overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
To see me over everything
That life may send me when I am hoping it won't pass me by
And when I feel like there is no one
That will ever know me
There you are to show me
When I look to the sky
Something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost
Something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
When I look to the sky
Something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
And when I feel like I'm lost
Something tells me you're here with me

I woke up on Angel Island in your arms
To the smell of burning bridges
And the sound of those alarms in my head,
We should have stayed in bed
But we held them up for ransom anyway
When the coldest days of winter were
The summers that we took aim at the Bay
And grateful wasn't dead
And like your lips were only made for me to kiss
Oh oh oh oh
We were made for this
While the girls all danced beneath a burning man
And the last waltz did somersaults to finish off the Band
Where they began in a wonder Winterland
All we ever wanted was to be alone
Learning how to fly to Sly, trying to find home
Underneath the Family Stone
And just like New Year's Day was made to reminisce
Oh oh oh oh
We were made for this
Love and stardust settle on us like a net
While Buckley's "Hallelujah" fills our ears from your cassette
While my heart stops beating, and you stop breathing, Juliette
You're the only thing I'm ever gonna miss
Oh oh oh oh

You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because
[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because
[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
You can run into my arms
It's OK don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because
[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
come here to me
Come here to me [x2]
It's pour rain
It's pour rain
come here to me

Finally met Virginia on a slow summer night
Thought I should forgive ya so I came back
You're a sight for sore eyes
Right for those lies
They save me after all!
Right from the beginning we were wrong I found
But no one did it better baby pound for pound
Those heavyweight fights were right for me
To learn how to see the light clearly
And it's the light I see In you!
Chorus:
No, don't go
I'll show you what it's like to be loved!
No, don't go
I'll show you what it's like to be loved!
(Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
What is like to be loved!
Now the things are better for me
I can laugh at all your other lovers
When you do the math
Does it make you feel sad,
Make you feel small?
Thank God it ain't no about me anymore!
I'm not coming back for round 2
I just wanna love you like a friend would do
You weren't wrong for the feelings you had
But the man that I was isn't coming back
So stay, it's OK!
Chorus:
No, don't go
I'll show you what it's like to be loved!
No, don't go
I'll show you what it's like to be loved!
(Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
What is like to be loved!
(Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
When you said it's over
I lost my head!
And now that we're older
I'm giving up on being right
So I can see the other side of you!
Chorus:
No, don't go
I'll show you what it's like to be loved!
No, don't go
I'll show you what it's like to be loved!
(Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
What is like to be loved!
(Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
I lost my head!
What is like to be loved!
And now that we're older

In '85,
Tuesday morning,
Came alive,
I didn't know ya
Route 66 is gone,
And Reagan's here,
It won't be long
Nintendo comes,
Live Aid, too,
Back to the Future
Where were you,
While I spent all my days
In Catholic school?
In '89,
The dream begins,
First in line to California,
Pete Rose is banned for good,
The Simpsons come to Hollywood,
Russia leaves Afghanistan,
Flight 103 ends Pan Am,
Bush is here
This is the year
That I feel most alone
No more
Countin' down the hours
No more
Wishin' you were here
I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
In '92,
A boy is born,
The skies were blue
In Ohio
Boris Yeltsin chills,
Freddie dies,
But Queen is still,
Barcelona has the games,
Lady Di is single again,
Clinton wins,
And I still dream
That I'll find you someday
In '97,
A baby girl,
Adds some heaven to the world,
Tony Blair tips the scales,
Elton sings for the Princess of Wales,
Microsoft buys into Mac,
My dad has a second heart attack,
And Train leaves San Francisco
In a thousand-dollar van
No more
Countin' down the hours
No more
Wishin' you were here
I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
2001,
The towers fell,
The World is stunned,
I wish I knew ya
I was on a plane,
The world would never be the same
The artificial heart is born--
Ironic when New York's is torn out
Woah-oah-oah-oah
2004,
Began in May,
On tour when I met ya
Facebook joins the Internet,
Oldsmobile joins the cassette
I met your family
It took a while until you kissed me,
But when you did,
I finally felt at home
I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
2012,
And all I know
Is everybody comes and goes
Everybody sings and cries,
Makes the grade and takes the prize
In somethin', nothin', I don't care,
Because I always know that you'll be here

Past the breakers, sliver by you never try you
On the tuffet that you never were afraid of
Anyone that was not you
In the corner, tried to warn her I, I, I
Caught in traffic in the middle of the night
In the middle of the highway
The highway
Got your hands in the dirt
Got your head in the grass
You're tryin' to hold on to some of your
Past the test now
You're runnin' outta breath no one behind you
On the subject of Religion decision devision
Collision, provision, cold hard television
Collective bargaining and talk radio radio
Your mother your brother your sister your lover
Your Father whom art in Heaven
Got to be home by eleven if you wanna be a good girl
You got your hands in the dirt

"The Finish Line"
I thought I knew it all
I've been through the highs, said all my goodbyes
Learned to run before I learned to crawl
It's not worth fighting for if one of us is sure
And one of us is dying, trying to find loves cure
I have waited all my life to paint these cities red
Thoughts I've always had here are stuck inside my head
It's not worth waiting for if one of us wants more
And one of us is dying, trying to find love's door
When we learn how to fly
We forget to how walk
When we learn how to sing
We don't wanna hear each other talk
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line
And you, you really thought you knew
Everything to do
With holding onto me and holding on
This time is making me slip right through your hands
And now you don't understand
Trying to find love all yourself
When we learn how to fly,
We forget to how walk
When we learn how to sing
We don't wanna hear each other talk
When we know what we want
We forget what we need
When you find who you are
You forget about me
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line

I remember when every other day was bad
You were my brother, so tall was all you had
Well, Sireno was dead but we had you instead
Now I remember our precious petting zoo
Our delicate high school and all the things we said
we'd do
They all fall like, Sweet Rain
Wet my memory, Sweet Rain
Come on down on me
It wasn't hard to look ahead
You wanted to be me instead
I wanted to be you instead but
I fell and you fell back
What is wrong with me, well what is wrong with you,
Jack?
Everybody knew she was coming, Everybody knew she was
coming, everybody knew she was . . ., everybody knew
she was.
Yeah, Sweet rain, wet my memory, sweet rain, come on
down, you got to come on down on me
The big screen got in between, what it was and what
we've seen
How have you been? What have you been? I think about
Now and again, I think about you now and again, I think
about you every single day
Well, shit I'm thinking about you right now
And I wish that you knew all the things you do.
And how I love you, like a brother loves a brother,
like a mother loves her friend.
You tried to save my life. You tried to save my life.
And I thank you.
But I have to do what I have to do, to get back here
right next to you and I had to steal what I had to
steal to get myself back to being real.
I had to grow in ways that I didn't want to know.
And you tried to save my life, you tried to save my
life.
I thank you brother.
Cause now I know so much more than I ever knew before I
fell, and fell and fell and you picked me up just like
before.
You saved my life. You keep saving my life. You keep
saving my life. You keep saving my life. You are like

I just opened up my eyes
And let the world come climbing in
It's all better now, things are gonna work somehow
If I just sleep another hour
Tried to reach you at your mom's
Hey baby why you trying to keep away for so long
I stopped feeling good, somehow I just knew I would
I guess I'll sleep another hour
Feels like I'm wasting my time
Hanging on this same old line
Got to get you off of my mind
There's nothing left for me to find
And all the more I want
All the more I need
All the while you want something more
All the more I want
All the more I need
All the while you want something more
Thought I found the words to say
Just to get you feeling fine over heels my way
But it don't matter how
I lost the word and nerve and now
There's nothing more for me to say
Feels like I'm wasting my time
Hanging on this same old line
There's nothing left for me to find
And all the more I want
All the more I need
All the while you want something more
All the more I want
All the more I need
All the while you want something
There's nothing left for me to say
Wanting what I need this way
And when I'm feeling low I know
I need to stop
And someday you will see
All the more you want
All the more you'll need me
All the while I'll be on to something more
And all the more you want
All the more you'll need me
All the while I want something more
I want something more

Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you
Hey, na na na... I'll make it with or without you
I went walking in your shoes today
It took me back to that familiar way
That I felt when our team was on the winning side
So I paged through some pictures that you left behind
Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you
Hey, na na na... I'll make it with or without you
I guess I would have known love if it whispered in my ear
All I know right now is that its been almost a year
That I traded in forever for a kiss that day
But how about some shelter if I promise not to stay
Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you
Hey, na na na... I'll make it with or without you
Shelter Me
Come on baby please
I don't need for you to feel the same
Cover me, come on cant you see
I just need to come in from the rain
Shelter Me
I know that you need to find someone who will get you
Thought I was the one
I know that I need to find someone who let me
Thought you were the one
Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you
Hey, na na na... I'll make it with or without you
Shelter Me
Come on baby please
I don't need for you to feel the same
Cover me, come on cant you see
I just need to come in from the rain
Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you

Well this is just between us but between us let's get high
In pictures I have seen her and to see her is truly fine
She's on fire
She's on fire
Flowers in her evening set I get the feeling she won't forget
And there's times you'd long to be her but to be her is surely blinding
She's on fire
She's on fire
She's on to me
And I'm over me
She's on fire
And if I could be inside her light
I would steal enough to make my way into the night
And if I could be inside her light I might just find I'd be alright
Well it's not just a daydream if you decide to make it your life
And this is not between us but between us let's keep getting back to where it's from
She's on fire
She's on fire
She's on to me
And I'm over me
She's on fire
She's on to me
And I'm over me
She's over me
And I'm on to her
She's on fire
She's on fire

Ho, ho, ho
Shake up the happiness
Wake up the happiness
Shake up the happiness
It's Christmas time
There's a story that I was told
And I wanna tell the world
Before I get too old
And don't remember it
So let's December it
And reassemble it oh yeah
Once upon a time in a town like this
A little girl made a great big wish
To fill the world full of happiness
And be on Santa's magic list
Chorus:
Shake it up
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y'all
It's Christmas time
Ho, Ho, Ho
Ho, Ho, Ho
It's Christmas time
At the same time miles away
A little boy made a wish that day
That the world would be okay
If Santa Claus would hear him say
I got dreams and I got love
I got my feet on the ground
And family above
Can you send some happiness
With my best to the rest
Of the people of the East and the West and
Maybe every once in a while you
Give my grandma a reason to smile
Tis the season to smile
It's cold but we'll be freezing in style
And let me meet a girl one day that
Wants to spread some love this way
We can let our souls run free and
She can open some happiness with me
Chorus
I know you're out there
I hear your reindeer
I see the snow where
Your boots have been
I'm gonna show them
So they will know then
Their love will grow when
They believe again
Chorus
It's Christmas time

Ten pounds too much to the naked eye
I don't take the bus because she drives
Watermelon lipstick, and way too much
She got buttermilk smile and a thorny touch
Street smart, like a Courtney Love
Can't get enough Hollywood stories of
Anybody famous that can make her feel
Like they're all kinda friends in a way
No best friend, well one but she's crazy
Grew up to end up a Professor of lazy
The last of six kids that all left town
Seems nobody ever wanted them around
But she's cool like a soda can sittin' on ice
Always orders sushi, only eats the rice
Talks about J Lo like they're best of friends
I think she loves me, but it all depends
Hey baby, I don't wanna be your Superman
I just wanna be your man and I'll be super, baby
You'll be standin' in the sun shine
I'll be standin' right here in the rain
You save me and I will save the day
I got a sweet gig rakin' in the cash with karaoke
I get the crowd goin' when I sing the hokey pokey
I shake it to the
left and then I shake it to the right
What's not to love, man I'm on tonight
I got the LA stylie with the New York trim
Keep my pants so low
It's like I'm goin' for a swim
I got the Coppertone tan, like in Mexico
Well, not now but when I go, yea
I know you don't see me like a movie star
And it can't help much that I don't have no car
But you're my favorite thing, by far

I used to love the tenderloin until I made some tender coin
Then I met some ladies from Marin
We took the highway to the one up the coast to catch some sun
That left me with these blisters on my skin
Don't know what I was on but I think it grows in Oregon
So I kept on going, going on right through
I drove into Seattle rain, fell in love then missed the train
That could have took me right back home to you
I've been high, I've been low
I've been yes and I've been oh, hell no
I've been rock 'n' roll and disco
Won't you save me San Francisco?
Every day so caffeinated, I wish they were Golden Gated
Fillmore couldn't feel more miles away
So wrap me up return to sender, let's forget this five year bender
Take me to my city by the bay
I never knew all that I had, now Alcatraz don't sound so bad
At least they have a hell of a fine Merlot
If I could wish upon a star I would hitch a cable car
To the place that I can always call my own
I've been high, I've been low
I've been yes and I've been oh, hell no
I've been rock 'n' roll and disco
Won't you save me San Francisco?
I've been up, I've been down
I've been so damn lost since you're not around
I've been reggae and calypso
Won't you save me San Francisco?
To tell you the truth I miss everything, everything
It's a wild, wild beautiful world
But there's a wide eyed girl back there
And she means everything, everything
I've been stop, I've been go
I've been yes and I've been oh, hell no
I've been rock 'n' roll and disco
Won't you save me San Francisco?
I've been up, I've been down
I've been so damn lost since you're not around
I've been reggae and calypso
Won't you save me San Francisco?
Save me San Francisco
Won't you save me San Francisco?
Save me San Francisco

For reasons I don't know I treated you so cold
I wish I had those times again
Cause something that you said keeps ringing in my head
Someday you're gonna wanna come back and you're gonna wanna treat me fine
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little
I watched me push you down in dreams I had of you
And all I remember about those days is I would run around thinking that you'd be alright
But you lost your light along the way
And oh you were right about the things I'd say
Cause if I had it back again I know I'd treat you kind
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody got to have somebody
Everybody got to have someone
And all I ever wanted from this play
Was someone to talk to when I get down
It seems you get the things you give along the way
Now all I need is one more chance to make you feel like hanging round
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody

Not too smart, just out of school
A teachers pet and modern fool
Talked about being a freelance broker
But the police caught him tryin to choke her
Can't describe him in his corner
Like a rat out of the water
Out of work and outta grass
Mother Mary, never seems to stop to talk, she just walk on past
Down Down, no information one day always away
But why why, can't I see you
One day always away
Why why can't I be you
One day always away
He's outta school now, just another taken barstool
and this neighborhood ain't what he had in mind
wants to be your girlfriend, love to be your boyfriend
wants to be your telephone, wants to wants to be your man
But why why, can't I see you
One day always away
Why why can't I be you
One day always away

Leaves are falling all around
It's time I was on my way
Thanks to you I'm much obliged
Such a pleaseant stay
But now it's time for me to go
The autum moon lights my way.
and now I smell the rain
and and with it pain
and it's headed my way
ah sometimes I grow so tired
but I know I got one thing I got to do
ramble on
well nows the time the time is now
sing my song
I'm go'in around the world
gonna find my girl
I'm on my way
I've been this way ten years to the day
I'm gonna ramble on
I'm gonna find the queen of all my dreams
Got no time for spreadin' roots
The time has come to be gone
No I can't be dragged a thousand times
It's time to ramble on
When I'm alone
Oh well nows the time
The time is now
Sing my song
I'm going around the world
Gonna find my girl
I'm on my way
I've been this way ten years to the day
I'm gonna ramble on
I'm gonna find the queen of all my dreams
Nows the time it can be told
My freedom I hold dear
But years ago
In days of old
The magic filled the air
But in the darkest steps of Mordor
I met a girl so fair
But go up to her I run
courage up and slipped away with her
ah shit
and there's nothing I can do now
I guess I'll keep on
Ramblin' on
I'm gonna sing my song
I'm going around the world
Gonna find my girl
I'm on my way
I've been this way ten years to the day
I'm gonna ramble on
Sing my song
I'm going around the world
I wanna see my girl
I went searching for my baby

I wanna take you with me to life with no more yesterdays
We can start again awake and so excited
And change the way we always push
We always push
I'll open up and be your parachute
And I'll never let you down
So open up and be my human angel
And we'll only hit the ground running
And when the world gets sharp and tries to cut you down to size
And makes you feel like giving in
Oh, I will stay, I will rain, I will wash the words and pain away
And I will chase away the way we push, the way we pull
You're beautiful
I'll open up and be your parachute
And I'll never let you down
So open up and be my human angel
And we'll only hit the ground running, running
And if it feels like we might drop
It will stop, so don't look down
It wouldn't be the same without you
This life is too good to give up on
I'll open up and be your parachute
And I'll never let you down
So open up and be my human angel
And we'll only hit the ground

I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone
Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone
Maybe we were too young
Goodbye, I've gotta go
I can hear the baby waking up
Got to get back to the life I know
I should have never believed him
Maybe I should just leave him
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
And I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
No one thought I was good enough for you
Except for you
Don't let them be right
After all that we've been through
'Cause somewhere over that rainbow
There's a place for me
A place with you
In every frame upon our wall
Lies a face that's seen it all
Through ups and downs and then more downs
We helped each other off of the ground
No one knows what we've been through

Whose eyes am I behind
I don’t recognize anything that I see
Whose skin is this design
I don’t want this to be the way that you see me
I don’t understand anything anymore
In this world that I’m tired of
Is taking me right up these walls
That I climb up
To get to your story
It’s anything but ordinary
And when the world is on its knees with me its fine
And when I come to the rescue I get nothing but left behind
Everybody seems to be getting what they need where's mine
‘Cause your what I need so very but im anything but ordinary
Can you save me from this world of mine
Before I get myself arrested with this expectation
You are the one look what you’ve done
What have you done?
This is not some kind of joke
You’re just a kid
You weren’t ready for what you did
And when the world is on its knees with me its fine
And when I come to the rescue I do it for you time after time
Everybody seems to be getting what they need where's mine
‘Cause you what I need so very but im anything but ordinary
I think im trying to save the world from you
You’ve been saving me too
We could just stay in and save each other
Im anything but ordinary
(ordinary)
Im anything but ordinary

I ain?t no new sensation, no, no
But I?m better than I ever been
I ain?t no new sensation, no, no
But I?m better than I ever been
Take a look at my situation
Tearin' it down just to start it up
I ain?t no new sensation
But I?m better than I ever been
Used to spend time tryin' to chase it
Now I spend time tryin' to erase it
I ain?t no new temptation
But I?m better than I ever been
I ain?t no new sensation, no, no
But I?m better than I ever been
I ain?t no new sensation, no, no
But I?m better than I ever been
Now take a look at this reputation
It?s not what it is but what it?s not
It ain?t some new sensation
But it keeps gettin' better and better and
Used to spend time thinkin' there?s a reason
Now I spend time knowin', I?m in season
I ain?t no new temptation
But I?m better than I ever been
And I?ve been runnin' away from you for way too long
And all my tryin', all your lyin', all of your cryin'
I kept buyin' it
I?ve waited too long
I ain?t no new sensation, no, no
But I?m better than I ever been
I ain?t no new sensation, no, no
But I?m better than I ever been
I ain?t no new sensation, no, no
But I?m better than I ever been

Why you gotta treat me like I'm a low down dirty
Climbin' up on thirty
Dress like a kid to make me feel young punk
And talk junk
You musta fell out of your bunk
And smacked your head
Or your face or somethin'
I don't need nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus
Go on and get yourself your own dream
This is my own life keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my private nation
I'm alone all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when in my private nation
You can ride or you can go
Why you gonna step on shoes
When you don't know whose been in 'em
Have you ever been more than a bump
On a rock that likes to roll
In the middle of a soup bowl in the sky
Use your eyes
It's all you got till you die
I don't need nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus
Go on and get yourself your own dream
You can ride on, it ain't free
Leave a light on, so you can see
How to get back when you go
How to get, how to give
How to make ends meet
How to lose, how to win
How to stay on the seat
How to use momentum to keep the two wheels straight

Can't swim so I took a boat to an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
I stayed there till the air was clear
I was bored and out of tears, then I saw you washed up on the shore
I offered you my coat, thank Godess love can float
Crazy how that shipwreck meant my ship was coming in
We talked till the sun went down
Love on the Puget Sound
My treasure map was on your skin
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Till I got her, had I known it could come true
I would've wished in '92 for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Sharks green with envy, they wonder what you see in me
Funny, but sometimes can't help but wonder that as well
Now life is a holiday, makin' up for the years I paid
The way to this heavenly bay, it went through hell
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Till I got her, had I known it could come true
I would've wished in '92 for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Rescued you by the banyan tree, all the girl fish in the sea
Couldn't hold a candle to you, they don't have a handle on you, they don't have a scandal on you, I love ECCO sandals on you
Savin' me was B-I-G, all the boy fish in the sea
They all wish that they could be me
Can't swim so I took a boat to an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
Oh, beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach
Till I got her, had I known it could come true
I would've wished in '92 for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Just like you

She doesn't own a dress
Her hair is always a mess
You catch her stealin' she won't confess
She's beautiful
Smokes a pack a day, but wait, that's me, but anyway
She doesn't care a thing, about that hair
She thinks I'm beautiful
Meet Virginia
She never compromises, loves babies and surprises
Wears high heels when she exercises
Ain't that beautiful
Meet Virginia
Well she wants to be the queen
Then she thinks about her scene
Pulls her hair back as she screams
"I don't really wanna be queen"
Her daddy wrestles alligators
Mama works on carburetors
Her brother is a fine mediator
For the president
And here she is again on the phone
Just like me hates to be alone
We just like to sit at home
And rip on the president
Meet Virginia
Well she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life
Pulls her hair back, as she screams
"I don't really wanna live this life", no, no, no
She only drinks coffee at midnight
But the moment is not right
And the time is quite, unusual
You see her confidence is tragic
But her intuition magic
And the shape of her body, unusual
Meet Virgina, I can't wait to
Meet Virginia, yeah, yeah, hey, hey
Well, she wants to be the queen
Then she thinks about her scene
Well, she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna be the queen, ah, ah
I don't really wanna be the queen, ah, ah
I don't really wanna be the queen, ah, ah

Well I guess this is where I left my life
And all its operations
And I know that I will never get this twice
With all negotiations
This feels like the place between what is and might have been
So I guess this is where we both find out
If this was meant to be
And I'll tell myself, I don't need you
I'll tell myself enough to get me through
But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
If you can take a little more
Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue
When you said you'd never get tired of the boy
That seemed to be so far from growing up
But we were different then
This feels like the place between being ready and being in the way
And I'll tell myself, I don't need you
I'll tell myself enough to get me through
But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
If you can wait a little more
This feels like the time that I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
'Cause I'll tell myself I'll make it through
I'll tell myself anything to get over you
And I won't blame you but I'm finally ready to show you
That I'm ready to show you, I'm ready to show you, yeah
I'll tell myself that I never needed anybody anyway, but anyway
I need you
I need you now
I need you now

Well there ain't much entertainment
In a town this size and all
So I got myself up, dressed for this arraignment
'Cause I don't think I'm ready for the fall
Now I find my thoughts deep in this room all by myself
Thinking the moon might just explode if I don't leave
And the more I wait
It seems the more I hate this town
For what it's doing to me
This is when I need you most of all
Then I stepped upon a landmine
And I saw my future rise
I'm getting to know you
Between the lines
I dropped down about one forty-two
Hoping to get more looks from you
But it never made much difference in your eyes
And I suppose that it couldn't have helped things much
To set this day in a whirlwind rush
After finding out the backseat changed our lives
Then I stepped upon a landmine
And I saw my future rise
Now I'm getting to know you
Between the lines
Between the lines
It's 5 a.m. and if I run
I'm sure to pay for what I've done
But if I stay I'm sure to wish I ran
And though I knew this day would come
I never thought that I would run
From someone who is blind to me
You're as blind to me as you could be
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Yeah
Then I stepped upon a landmine
And I saw my future rise
Now I'm getting to know myself
Between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines

Sweet dreams from Texaco, and I know your mind is on
its way to Mexico, sweet Jesus is on his way to take
you on his way down
You get your fill of what you like and you fill your head
with what you might want yourself to be when you're ready
But if you leave
It's gonna get a little bit easier to break down
And if you leave
It's gonna get a little bit easier for you to break down
My new dress is your new way out, my new way is your new
dress, and you look fine
But your new belief is my regret and my regret
leaves you to believe that we have found the line
And if you leave
Take me along, anywhere is ok
And if you leave
Take me along, anywhere is ok
Think back and you can feel me movin through you
It's easy when you try
Oh, think back and you can feel me, you can feel me
You won't feel me if you leave
And if you leave
It's gonna get a little easier for me to break down
And if you leave
If you leave
If you leave
If you leave

While everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it, I'm not in it to win it
And there's a thousand ways you can skin it
My feet have been on the floor flat like an idle singer
Remember winger, I digress
I confess you are the best thing in my life
But I'm afraid when I hear stories about a husband and wife
There's no happy endings, no Henry Lee
But you are the greatest thing about me
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather that flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
That's enough for me
Took a loan on a house I own
Can't be a queen bee without a bee throne
I wanna buy you everything except cologne 'cause it's poison
We can travel to Spain where the rain falls
Mainly on the plain side and sing
'Cause it is we can laugh, we can sing
Have ten kids and give them everything
Hold our cell phones up in the air
And just be glad that we made it here alive
On a spinning ball in the middle of space
I love you from your toes to your face
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather that flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
That's enough for me
You can move in, I won't ask where you've been
'Cause everybody has a past
When we're older we'll do it all over again
When everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it, I'm not in it to win it
I'm in it for you
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
Then the rest is just whenever
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather that flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love

Tears fill up my eyes
I'm washed away with sorrow
And somewhere in my mind
I know there's no tomorrow
I see that you're leaving soon
I guess you've had your fill
But if I can't change your mind, then no one will
And all throughout all the years
I've never strayed from you my dear
You suspect I'm somewhere else
You're feeling sorry for yourself
Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind, then no one will
If I can't change your mind
Even though my heart keeps breaking
Don't you know that I'll be waiting here for you
I hope you see I'm dedicated
Look how long that I have waited
If you come back you will find a different person
If you change your mind
How can I explain away somethin' I haven't done
And if you cant trust in me now, you'll never trust in anyone
With all the crazy doubts you've got
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind, then no one will
If I can't change your mind
If I can't change your mind

They grew up in the shadow of the armory
Land of freedom right out their back door
Brothers near the middle of the century
One of them had to go and fight the war
Somebody had to go and fight the war
And the train goes...
So he left upon the rails toward Ohiopyle
Youghiogheny flows around the bend
He told his mother someday he'd be coming home
The medals shine and the stars never end
But nobody counts on scars that never mend
And the train goes...
Cast iron wheels go hungry in the fields
Searching for that silver line a long, long way to go
Cast iron hearts go hungry for spare parts
Searching for a hand to hold on late night radio
He flew missions out of London into Germany
In letters she read once then locked away
With a picture of him smiling at the armory
The colors in that flag all washed away
It's just black and white and a hundred shades of gray
And the train goes...

A quarter after two
Sittin' in my car, watchin'
Waitin' on a train
Ninety seven flat cars
Loaded down with troop, trucks and tanks
Rollin' by
I'm twenty one
And I'm scared as hell
I quit school
I was healthy as a horse
Because of all that
I'll be the first one to die in a war
The whole damn town was sleepin'
Dreamin' the same dream
Radio was playin'
Roger McWilliams singin'
"To each and every thing
There's a time and a season"
I'm twenty one
And I'm scared as hell
I quit school
I was healthy as a horse
Because of all that
I'll be the first one to die in a war
Yes I have no right to say
We all die anyway
An' I'd just like to know
Where does my time go?
What for? What for?
A quarter after two
Sittin' in my car, watchin'
Waitin' on a train
Ninety seven flat cars
Loaded down with troop, trucks and tanks

Put me on a train mama
This place just aint the same no more
Put me on a train mama

And there's a world that's out there waiting

Put me on a train mama

And knowin' i can get it makes me want it more

But maybe one day a train will bring me home
Put me on a train mama
Put me on a train mama
Oh put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today
Cause i got the fever that's for sure
And knowin' i can get it makes me want it more
Mama i just want you to know that i'm gonna be fine
Lord i know it's the chance that i take
But i know you've forgiven the mistakes that i've made
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

Plastic brain scar, I want laser
I'm your chauffeur, with high
Gloss highs
Take you where you want
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Wolf lady sucks my brain
Apricot sunrise came
L.A. nights
Just roll in
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Nasal douche, poolside line
Soft lit tan, what's your sign?
Hold my hand
Just roll in
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Can't stop, oh, off the train

";Hold on to my arm,";
She said, strung out on the floor.
";I've been knocked uptight.
I've been locked outside.
I can't go on anymore.";
Cut off the circulation.
Don't let it go to my head too quick.
Let the feeling grow.
Just let it flow.
Gonna' make it last.
Gonna' make it last.
I'm a hurricane
And the blood flows free from an open vein.
This is the last time:
Never at home again.
Oh! I know that train you're riding on. (Oh-oh-oh.)
It's sixteen coaches long.
My baby's on that train and gone.
Can't slow it. (Gone.)
You know it. (Gone.)
It's coming down.
";Hold on,"; she said.
";I've been knocked uptight
And locked outside.
I can't go on.
I can't go on.";
I'm a hurricane
And the blood flows free from a broken vein.
This is the last time,
Never at home again.
Oh! I know that train you're riding on. (Oh-oh-oh)
It's sixteen coaches long.
My baby's on that train and gone.
Can't slow it. (Gone.)
You know it. (Gone.)
It's coming down.
The future is open wide.
The future is open wide.
The future is open wide.
(Gone.)
Can't slow it. (Gone.)
You know it. (Gone.)
It's coming down.
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)

Like dinners after funerals.
Like street lights that forgot to shine.
Like ashtrays on a windy night.
Like old books and their perfect smell.
Like a train that's off the tracks,
you wonder if you're running late.

Where were you? We faded out the other day
Make up new wounds to count and contemplate
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
Just for you and you alone
Lightning speed to nowhere it's your lucky day
Can't believe the nerve of that proceeding verse
Worse than where you are is that you got there first
Sure you can reverse
Turn a blessing to a curse
Lightning train to nowhere in the universe
Stressing every syllable of your complaint
Can't they tell the difference
Between passengers and freight?
Cursing the conductor then
We try our luck again
Lightning speed to nowhere but oblivion
Pictures play in place all day
They never leave their wall
They stand against it
And when they talk
They do so it can hear
For they know
That their wall has ears
All ears, all ears
Swatting at the smoke rings in the dining car
Speculation station is that where we are?
Plenty Of Conjecture
Would you like to give a lecture?
Lightning train to anywhere but very far
Lightning Speed to nowhere but obscurity
Only destination is the scenery
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
Just for you and you alone

Making sense of all the hidden facts
Hit and run that's the way...?
Sickened by the...?
Getting nowhere
Getting nowhere
How can you pretend to give a fuck?
How can you pretend to give a fuck?
If nothing seems to matter at all

Oh, feel like a train
Set it up, tear it down
Another show to go, another town
Another place, another face
Another crowd of people, tank of diesel
Flying J truck stop
35 guys, a rolling jukebox
Gotta rock, can?t stop
Gonna keep on pushing through the Rockies
Nothing?s gonna stop me
Feeling like a train, pulling at the strain
Always got an uphill track with the world on my back
Pouring on the coal, feel a little old
Gotta suck it up, gotta be strong
Gotta be tough, gotta move on, on, on, on
It?s all I?ve ever known, feeling like a train, feeling like a train
Tick tock, time flies
Another year in gear passing by
Another song, another station
Back and forth across the nation
Some day, some way
Gonna jump these tracks and never look back
Gonna find me one tomorrow
With my dead hand on the throttle
Feeling like a train, pulling at the strain
Always got an uphill track with the world on my back
Pouring on the coal, feel a little old
Gotta suck it up, gotta be strong
Gotta be tough, gotta move on, on, on, on
It?s all I?ve ever known, feeling like a train
Feeling like a train, pulling at the strain
Always got an uphill track with the world on my back
Pouring on the coal, feel a little old
Gotta suck it up, gotta be strong
Gotta be tough, gotta move on, on, on, on
It?s all I?ve ever known, feeling like a train, feeling like a train
Feeling like a train
Feeling like a train
Feeling like a train

Well the sun's coming up, and the dust it is clearing
Down the line I am hearing there's a train coming in
I left my home and my girl, tried to find someplace better
oh but I never could forget her, so let this train take me home
CHORUS:
Oh please my darling forgive what I've done
I've found nothing, just some big lonely world
So take me back please my lover, take me back please my lover
Took a train to discover I cannot be without you girl
I was young, I was green
Prone to foolish decisions
At what I thought was ambition and a will to be free
yeah but freedom's just some word
Don't believe has a meaning
So on this train I am leaving trying to get me back home
CHORUS
So pour another cup of coffee
Pretty soon I'll be leaving
I ain't done petty thieving
Hitching rides and drinking beer
And I'm so tired of having friends
Just to keep out of prison
Oh well this life really isn't all I hoped it would be
CHORUS

Sunshine feelin' static through your body you don't know what's going on
Then a creep crawl the mind bends bet it all then cash in and be gone
Cause it's side corners and street lights caught in this haze and I here them callin'
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I had a dream that everything wasn't the way it seemed
Martin was the President and Malcolm the VP
Bush wore a rubber and W was never born
We never bombed Nam and never went to Desert Storm
Little babies was birthed to ladies and grown men
Instead of gangsters and bitches not knowing were to begin
Because we born into this world to die trained to kill steal and lie
Raised to sin just to survive framed cause if we caught we fry
Somebody save us they said the saviors comin'
But if he aint got nuclear weapons he should keep on runnin'
Cause they bombin' the palaces churches and temples and mosques
We got the freedom of speech until yo ass get shot
Where's the train
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
Sometimes the candlelight is brighter than the sunshine darkness is long gone
Diggin' my soul still not knowing what's going on
Four in the morning a thousand miles away from home
Glassy and tight eyes reddish and off white oberserving the ice
Swimming in my cup until it's right cause it's midnight I'm in the devils daughter and it's so tight
I'm doin' it till I'm gone midnight I'm in the devils daughter and it's so tight
I'm doin it till I'm gone
I hear the train just callin', callin' me home
I hear the train just callin', callin' me home

I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm spending days, over and over and over and over again
I go through the days, over and over and over and over and over and over again
Sitting in a train
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
Trees pass me by and take away a piece of me
Take me away within, deep down inside of me
Deep down, deep down, inside of me
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
It rides through a thousand dreams
Je vois, je vois, je vois le monde
Je regarde tout
Dans la vitesse moi, je suis partout
Je vois
Je regarde le monde
Je regarde tout
Dans la vitesse moi, je suis partout
Deep down
Inside
Of me
Je suis partout
Deep down

Train
I've just taken a seat on the train
I walked through busy streets down a shadowy lane
I just bought my ticket for the ride
There's no turning back now, no matter what I decide
Steel body moves fast, hinges pounding against the ground
I sink into my seat and I pray for it to speed up
While I wish it would slow down
My body quivers with anticipation for what lies ahead
Wood is thrown onto the fire that cries out to be fed
Mist shrouds the dawn, so ahead I cannot see
The train it moves ever forward into the misty sea
There's so many faces
But most of the time I feel so alone
There's so many places
Will I ever stop and know my own home
I know I'm gonna get there
But I'm not sure when
Nor do I know where I'm going
So I won't pretend
I cannot see beyond the horizon
Nor around the bend
The train it moves ever forward
Without a seeming end
Out of one window, I saw rain
I looked through the other, and I felt the warm suns rays
The wind, it gently blew across my weary shoulder
And time whispered in my ear
"Child, you're just gonna keep getting older"
But I've done nothing more
Than take a seat on this here, train
Yet my life turned upside down and only
Only the little things remain

Swing your partner round and kick 'em down
Drag him by the hair across the floor
She's a roped-up car collision
She's an open heart incision
She's in every tab of acid that I score
When that train comes to your door
When I come marching home from war
When that train comes to your door
Will you still want
Will you still want me

Dancing in a barroom down in Gary Indiana
I can hear them loudly laughing
Sipping vodka by the cantor
In this dream I'm having
There's an unpaid balance standing
It's my old friend Horace Manning and he wants her
There's that gentleman beside her
As they undress by the fire
Then he puts his hand inside her
Then he nooooo...

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
ooh, ooh ooh
and I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

there's a lot of trouble
but no-one wants to see
tell me could I be the one who's waiting patiently
this age of information kills you byte by byte
and still you stand there screaming with your arms open wide
sometimes you feel like catching this train
you know it will never stop at your station
it seems you're late again
talk to me in a language I haven't spoken for years
show me places I haven't been this distance makes me weak
this age of information kills me byte by byte

Plastic brain scar
I want laser
I'm your chauffeur
With high gloss highs
Take you where you want
Can't stop, oh off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wolflady
Sucks my brain
Apricot
Sunrise came
L.A. nights
Just roll in
Can't stop, oh off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nasal douche
Poolside line
Softlit tan
What's your sign?
Hold my hand
Just roll in
Can't stop, oh off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't stop, oh off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't stop, oh off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah

Memories wake you up
you don't know how to escape from them
You're turning your brain round
you cry, cry from a dream
Sadness and hate
you commemorate where runs the...
train, train, train
Her letter on the table
you know her dismals
you don't understand the contiguities
only and only one word

A foreign land gone - on my way
A dark track moving - I won´t stay
There´s something inside crying in the brain
Crying for a shelter - crying insane
Say say say that you don´t care
Trying to decieve me if you dare
I´m into something deeper now
Listen close - listen close
Look in my eyes - look into the dark sky
Another one goes and another one dies
I could never live if I told you I stay
We could change our ways or be strangers on the same
train
Living on a promise - living on a lie
Lying in my bed like a stranger inside
I can go where noone goes
Into the dark - into something unknown
Stare in silence on the ruins of me
Coming out pain - violently
Let it come - let it be done
One more kiss and then the train is gone
Look in my eyes - look into the dark sky
Another one goes and another one dies
I could never live if I told you I stay
We could change our ways or be strangers on the same
