i'm big, and small
it hurts to crawl
this velvet aisle again
and their eyes feast
on my deceased
they hold the cherry of my pit
come please and fel my deceased
i know you walk aside your child
and her eyes closed, soul rose
earth will patch the cracks within
i dig a hole for all my sins
big, small
a pain inside you all
will touch your spine when i give in
and grace falls
13 years to tall
i once walked aside my child
It takes a lot to really fake you and leave you bare
And I'll never forsake you
You can stand on the edge till you find the pledge you made
Once upon your stolen seeds
But to hold the dreams and never believe you'll leave all the schemes
That held you up inside
For you my dear
I can fall from heights
And it's all I can do
As I slide to you
And brake when we fall
I give it all the best for the girl who rests
Shameless on the brink of broken dreams
And so I look to the floor for the one I adore
And in place is the face that shines so bright I believe
Don't you turn away
Don't deny what makes you
It must be hard to be you
It's hard to be me too
But I try to see the flowers in her eyes before she blooms
It's what I fear
I fear that we're insincere and I'm scared of growing cold
It doesn't mean a thing
That you can't sing on key
Cause I have got a song to hum that will make us feel alive
And we will be fine
Do you want a drink if I've gone inside?
You see I'll be here away from fear in the park they built for us
Two O'clock, to the park
To my world into the dark
Josie smiles and laughs
Me and Scarlett will smoke our hash
A.D. and Amelia sang a song when love was on the wrong
She lit her cigarette
Julia's love was clear as she is
Drawing all your fears
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown,
engines on
Check ignition
and may God's love be with you
This is Ground Control
to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule
if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating
in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past
one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead,
is there something wrong?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....
Here am I floating
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
Sometimes
when I look in the mirror
I can't find the boy I used to know
And sometimes
As I take a breather, finding myself
Holding my lies, and asking the skies
for questions that nobody has
I see a dream with my hands on your face
feel the storys of a bigger place
where we can fade away
Cover my face
I don't want you to see
the monster I've become
And I just can't drag you down
(and I won't drag you down)
this dead beat road that I've came strait from
(When where?)
I see a dream with my hands on your face
feel the stories of a bigger place
when there was feelings
Everytime when I look in your eyes
To see who you love
The boy you love, the boy I used to be
We will fade away
When I was a little kid
My father told me to see the world for him
So I took my things
And painted pink sunsets over the vast oceans
Send your dad a note you made it kid you're on the road
Mother, teach me about the country
Can you tell the lie from the lives that you've seen
Mother, can you tell me
Where this road is gonna lead
Just let yourself go and sell your soul to the road
Don't you know I was resting under the tracks
Even then I knew I would always be back
And I know that this steel train
is gonna ride on 'till the end
Blue skies and desert rain
I passed my life by course of steel train
And i ride to the end of the rail
I tell my father of all my tales
I say everything I saw I was thinking of you
And the reason I am here is all because of you
Don't you know I was resting under the tracks
Even then I knew I would always be back
I know that my steel train is gonna ride until the end
I know there's room on this steel train
They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
And so I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
And they say that every man must fall
And yet, I swear I can see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him crying so loud
Just crying out that he's been framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
Come and save me, come on down from that hill
Where you sleep, no more do you ever have to dream
Together we can, together we'll
Kill monsters in the rain
We are the same, what a mess you made
Hide in the cupboard, behind the soap boxes and..
Your mom, will never see us lying, hiding awake
Together we can, together we'll
Kill monsters in the rain
We are the same, what a mess you made
I was cold, in line
Picked out, backed down
Fucked up, out of love
Out of time, I fell
I'm never going back again..!..
Come and save me, ill climb on up your hill
We dont sleep, no more life lived like a dream
Together we can, together we'll
Kill monsters in the rain
We are the same, what a mess you made
I was cold, in line
Picked out, backed down
Fucked up, out of Love, out of time
The you were, then you smiled
And again and again and I fell
Open eyes, I did see that ghost, that soul..
Was buried alive, and i swore
Id never see that place again...!!!...
Together we can, together we'll
Kill monsters in the rain
We are the same, what a mess you made
Dreamed you were running last night not searching for me
Holy lord i am a prisoner in the ground and in your bed
God i wish i did this right
Only god knows how to do this right
When i let them go, thats when im gonna love again (love, love, love again)
In the ground are the keys to this boat, that wants to sail again
(this boat just wants to sail to you love)
God i wish i did this right
Only god knows how to dot is right
I say when......
I dreamed i was running last night, still searching for you (ill love again)
Holy lord i am prisoner in the ground and in your bed
God i wish i did this right
Only god knows how to do this right
Oh reel her
Whoa I would reel her in
Lord knows I would reel her
I would reel her in
But her fish
Don't swim in my sea
Yes, I would reel her
Oh I would reel her in
Lord knows I would reel
I would reel
I would reel her in
But her fish
Her fish
Her fish
I would rather watch a sunset
Through cellophane and glass
Then ask just why we fly
So why you got to rock the boat
Ain't it time for you to choke
My love, on your epiphany
So keep one eye open
'Cause what you see ain't what you got
I sold my hate
To the man with a master plan
To run the world that I ran from
Last time I had left you
This time we are leaving truth
In a quest to lose it all
And fall with style
'Cause even these empty hands
Can hold the way to your promise land and my soul
Mind and body will render the crime
So why you gotta be so cruel
And use me like a tool
That will never fix our love
I know that it's time to give it all up
When it all is so corrupt
And I'm torn from child and lust
Time is sublime when pain's a rhyme
I know you thought them stars would align for you
Firecracker, you waved in the night
And something that i saw was flaming
Your body, it was real in the light
On the fourth of july we were screaming
I saw the lonely road
You left and said to me don't follow
Cause i'll only bring you sorrow
And on down my lonely road
You left and i just said - no...
Well Im back in my old town again
Is there something still alive that i left here
Do you still like the boys on the street?
I will take you uptown to see you meet them
You know I've been reading the bible for a change
Maybe there's something i had missed there
I've seen some eyes in the rain
And they creep at my mind, i saw you whisper
A firecracker, you waved in the night
Something that i saw was flaming
Do you feel like we left something here?
Something worth coming back and clamming
I saw the lonely road
You left and said to me don't follow
Cause ill only bring you sorrow
And on down my lonely road
You left and said to me don't follow
You sleep and dream for tomorrow
And in the dead on night
You left and said to me don't follow
Dreams seem incomplete between your sheets
Ohh I walk this mile to see you child
And I will stay here
And fall in love with you
I want to rest tonight but ohh I fight
We are, we are diamonds in the sky
We float around
Stick together, touch no ground
You meet me, meet me in the place that makes you laugh
Whatever time we can collapse
We are on holiday forever
We got, we got miles and miles of world to run around
What we got is old gold and thats alright
She is, she is right here in everything we do
Look she is walking above you
She's on holiday forever
I had a lot, i was living
I had some lies, i live them off
I had a lot, but now i really got it all
Now that, forever diamonds we are blue
You find me, you find me in the place that makes you laugh
Whatever time we can collapse
Cause we are, we are diamonds in the sky
We float around
In light just bleed, Angelica
Don't say the lights would not change cause I've seen the gray
Our lives, untouchable
When you see your epic is all in flames
Such coy and winsome lies
Aloft she cries, so high
Thick lovers carry on a passive song
The angel lilts in vain
"We are the ill-advised", she said through a disguise
Fancy and short
Fall asleep with all the things you said to me
Running out of time
I'm not crawling
So hide behind what's weak and point the freaks
To a place that lights your name
So here's some alcohol to shake the fall
A drink that frames the need
And if you run for fame and hold such disdain
Everlong
So walk along the lines
And what you know is everything you had in store
And what you thought that you'd adore
You can't hold all you left behind
In light just bleed, Angelica
Don't say the lights would not change cause I've seen the gray
Our lives, untouchable
When you see your epic is all in vain
The spot light burns inside of me
Cause Bravery is holding my two hands so high in the air
You know i've been traveling for a long, long time
I've seen the ends of this world, and i'm cold in your eyes
If i leave you traveling, long way to carry me home
There was this storm and it took my friend
They found him the next day, he was cold and pretend
If he leaves me traveling, long way it is to carry him home
Then i lost my brother to the bullets of your war
There gonna bomb your city, and the cold wind will blow
If i die before i learn to live, he's gonna carry me home
I sent a letter to the woman that i loved
Its read baby im sorry, but im cold in your arms
If she leaves me traveling, long way it is to carry her home
Please remember the nights that we spent
In the city where you lay
We were young and nearly famous
But lighting strikes and building fall
And everything changed
Common dakota tell me you dont wish i was still the same
I know a man dressed as a woman
Heels, curly wig and nails
Fell for a boy who sold him powder and pills
And the younger boy
With the older man
He made it all wrong
And in dakota these awful things burn away with the sun
Yes in dakota this awful things are gone with morning sun
There was a boy who sang his song just different
So they stabbed him in the arms
Blood washed down him like a faucet
He cried for help
And no one came
He died in the rain
And in dakota one day he will wake up unchanged
Yes in dakota one day YOU will wake up unchained
Please remember the nights we spent alone
In the city where you lay
We are young and nearly famous
But thunder cracks and buildings burn
Everything will change
Common dakota i know we can always be the same
And in dakota i know we can always be the same
Coming home from a month away
To empty cabinets and bed
Well if there's love in this house again
Then let the lights shine through the windows and onto my head
Now i stay in the city
Walk the streets, search for something
Something calls and its leaving
I am dreaming of a girl, she is not really there
All i did see, is the buildings they burn so bright
I feel sorry for everything
Ill watch the homeless woman sleep
Just like the dimes that i gave her
I am scattered and i will roll away
I dream of the other side
Coming home to see your mothers
Best friends who mean all the world
But can't understand the ground that i walk on
All i did see, is the buildings they burn so bright
Some cry for the towers
Ill cry for the others
Who wait here in a jail cell
Lonely like a sailor, on the sea
Alone on the sea
I am lonely like a sailor, alone on the sea
From my cradle to your grave,
To this home, I am a slave..
And darling, we look beautiful,
Scratching in our cage.
I write to believe,
In the love that I forget.
And if you were the sky,
Would you let my sun set?
Catch you on the other side.
I feel you in my sleep.
The colors in my lullaby,
Will hold you 'til I get home. (I'm coming home)
Like a junkie in his cage,
I'm itching to be saved.
And for every one I swallow,
I'll turn another page.
I write to believe,
Cause honey, you'll forget.
The colors in her eyes,
Before her sun sets.
Catch you on the other side.
I feel you in my sleep.
The colors in my lullaby,
Will hold you 'til I get home.
Catch you on the other side.
I feel you in my sleep.
The colors in my lullaby
Catch you on the other side.
Catch you on the other side.
I feel you in my sleep.
So long since I’ve seen your eyes and I
Am finding out how to get by without you
I walk these streets with a lonely sky
And baby I get by
But it was you all along
Blue had you too
I lied for you
And nothing can be real till you can feel
I walk your street with a lonely sky
And baby I get high about you
Time will pass and I lose my worth
Tonight it hurts
And you can run fast like the wind
I walk these streets with a lonely sky and baby I get by
But it was you everyday
Blue had you too
Lied for you
So blown away by all the faces and dreamers
I'm no weaker than you dear
I took a ride and I saw you inside a soul that lives at rest
Are you done for?
But you had a lot to say
Did I take it a different way?
Some will stand and some will leave
But you, You'll do what you will
'Casue I'm dreamin' as you're leavin'
Shine bright as I shine the light
on the love that took my best
Best luck girl
Cause you got a ways to go,
Crawling your way back home
And this was the last cry cause I'm dyin'
You can take my good plans
Cause I'm in trouble now
I held the door for you to explore
as you stood head in the clouds
And I'm leavin' cause you're dreamin'
You clear the smoke and you learn how to float
High in the air
As I glare
you took it away to see
The person you'll never free
And this was the last cry cause I'm dyin'
You can take my good plans
Cause I'm in trouble now
There's a natural mystic flowing through the air
And if you listen carefully, you will hear.
This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last.
Many more will have to suffer,
Many more will die.
Don't ask me why.
Things are not the way they used to be.
I won't tell no lie.
One and all must come first reality now.
Though I've tried to find the answer
To all the questions they ask.
Though I know it's impossible
To go livin' through the past.
Don't tell no lie.
There's a natural mystic flowing through the air.
You cant keep him down
And if you listen carefully now you will hear.
Such a natural mystic,
Flowing through the air.
This could be the first trumpet,
Might as well be the last.
Many more will have to suffer,
Many more will have to die.
Don't ask me why.
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air.
I don't tell no lies
And if you listen carefully now you will hear.
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air.
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air;
Such a natural mystic, blowing through the air;
Such a natural mystic, blowing through the air;
Everyone wants to be part of the scene
See themselves pretty in a magazine
So when my life did read just like a book
Out of corners and cracks they came to look
And thats the story from the years that came
Everyone wants to be part of the shame
What a tragedy, what a glamorous scene
Write it in a book or A magazine
Open up to read about a murder
Look at the pretty lipstick shades
And thats just how you met your frank sinatra
On the paper thin walls of a magazine
Picked up and paid for
But who knows what you're really bound to be
You put the pages on the mirror
Another sob story but it will never fill you up
Just like the way you always hoped it was bound to be
Who are you?
Dream a dream she looks like madonna
Or find a jesus of your own
Something different, just made for your cover
No religion is fit for a magazine
So you read it in a magazine
And i had seen the things id never dream
I wake in the night and i want to write about what we went through
I've been lying still for weeks
Got this new piano, and its older than my dad
But it sings the way i think so i stay at home and play
I get in and out some of these days
I'd rather swing below this old red tree
But i get tired, i've seen too much
I aint got a dollar to my name but full of stories i am
I ramble on about love and her and her
There were two of them, one left and on died
One year in the life, you know i lost everything
But i found a new home in the women i belong to
They make me tired, i've seen too much
I aint never been so alone and i've never felt so cold
And i swear that i want love more than i want gold
I'd trade it all for one more story with you
Or one more kiss with her, one more year innocent
And there was a time not so long ago when i knew i had the world
And i held it close, close enough to let me go
It made me tired, i've seen too much
I said ayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya
My past swings away from me as i swing beneath this old red tree
Been swinging here for years now
And i've swung through their deaths and weddings and confessed love
To the women i belong to
My mothers getting older and she watched colder winters as we age
Who does she belong to
I bet she's tired, bet she's seen too much
Im tired, you know i've seen too much
Wake your eyes cause the world's still turning around the love that we built
Called in sick 'cause I spent the night dreaming loud the time she was ill
And I'm running so far from this guilt
And the weeks they just pass and it's easy to guess why I miss them
There are colors inside that I can not find the words for
And the reason we're here, it has never shined clear like the water
So don't pass me by
Yeah
All my time is in rhyme 'cause I live in a dream where she can be free
I set myself to the side and I'll watch as the lives pass as I sleep
Oh it doesn't mean I can't believe
And the weeks they just pass and it's easy to guess why I miss them
There are colors inside that I can not find the words for
And the reason we're here, it has never shined clear like the water
So don't pass me by
All I see is the girl that bleeds in the dark but no one's around
Takes her time 'cause her beauty's in rhyme with her soul, flys like the dove
And no one can tell who to love
And the weeks they just pass and it's easy to guess why I miss them
There are colors inside that I can not find the words for
And the reason we're here, it has never shined clear like the water
So don't pass me by
Wake your eyes cause the world's still turning around the love that we built
Called in sick 'cause I spent the night dreaming loud the time she was ill
(Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes
(Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes. Wake your eyes. Wake your eyes
(Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes (Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes (Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes
So she walks on her way
To believe her words
And she smiles at me but it’s a lie
Cause if the san don’t run through your toes it’s no paradise to me
And if you’re such a believer then believe everything you breathe
And you don’t know and you don’t laugh on your way
Do you stumble while you play?
Oh sunshine on my back and I’m with you the day
That you let me go of your fame
Don’t let your conscience
Find another way
And you turn your head
And I kiss your neck
This routine that you never though would fade
I wish that i could say
That you're the only one to blame
They'll be no no last goodbyes
The encore it just wont fly tonight
The hosp(?) and I die with my pride
So this song will fade with the
It's just like talking to myself...
2 worlds
3 hearts
And 1 boy caught in the middle of a dream
I'm caught in the middle of a dream
I close my eyes
Is it your smile?
Those moments last forever as a I sleep
But i'll stay awake to hear you cry
Your doubtful tears they keep me in knee-deep
Laugh in my face
Because you should
A stupid boy who took you for a fool
My veins ran dry and so i smile
And I'll eat your heart for life
It's just like talking to myself...
2 worlds
3 hearts
And one boy
Caught in the middle of a dream
This boy is caught in the middle of a dream
And I'll always devote myself above myself
I know I can't predict the weather
but i will run through storms with you
(run through storms with you)
and the buildings they grow tall
but your love shines through it all
So baby
If you want this
tell me tonight
and this could be the story in a dream
and your eyes they dont lie
the world can't freeze for us in spite
and girl you're the brightest star tonight
but you could always say that i know
when its a ways to be there
cause baby when i sigh its a lie
Im doin it al for you
so ch ch change my world
And the only one who said that I never see her
and is it the right time - a chance to see ahead through
so wash it all away
And the world can build their hedge
while we dive head-first from this ledge
So baby..If you want this
tell me tonight
and this could be the story in a dream
and your eyes they don't lie
the world can't freeze for us in spite
and girl you're the brightest star tonight.. the brightest star tonight
...wash it all away...
And the buildings they grow tall
but your love shines through it all
So baby..If you want me
don't cry inside
I'm waiting for the story as our dream
and your eyes they don't lie
and this could be the story in a dream
and this can be the story in a dream
yeh we could be the story in a dream
this can be the story in our dreams
Can you pull me out i think, i might, i think im drowning
There was a cool boy, there was a clown, i was alone
And that boy he told me just to give it all up now
Just playing the fool, he wanted me too
Im not going back to school
I took that van to austin, dallas texas, mobile alabama
I slept sound, and in that way i never really came home
When you leave yourself on the side of that highway
Forever you run, forever free slaves
I will say whoa, tornado in the sky
I know, i know you want it to
But i dont want to blow away without you
Ill, follow into the night
Come on, come on swim there with me
I tell you what i want, I want a summer tll the sun burns
Can you pull me out i think im drowning
There was that cool boy he did fall way down that hole
Do you see me down that highway
You're home from school, playin that fool
I will say whoa, tornado in the sky
I know, i know you want it to
But i dont want to blow away without you
Ill, follow into the night
Come on, come on swim there with me
Time has shown it's face
Too many words, Too many hopes and too much we've learned
Life won't wait in comfortable chairs
You look so bleak without a care
Sometimes her eyes close before nightfall
And sometimes my eyes close before nightfall
Cancer calls
Dancing on the seems
Leaves from a tree, all that fades and all that we feed
I can be brave if you can be bare
Stripping the life and taking what's there
Take these wings and learn to fly
Hold these eyes which never cry
Ohhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh
Let me tell ya now
Uh-huh
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in the crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Oh baby give me one more chance
(to show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(to let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Ya ya ya ya
(I want you back)
Na na na na
Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right.
Oh, every street you walk on
I leave tearstains on the ground.
Following the girl
I didn't even want around
Oh baby all I want is one more chance
(to show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back in your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
Bum Buh Bum Bum
(A buh buh buh buh)
All I want
(A buh buh buh buh)
All I need
(A buh buh buh buh)
All I want!
(A buh buh buh buh)
All I need!
Oh just one more chance
to show you that I love you
Baby
(I want you back)
Forget what happened babe
(I want you back)
I dont wanna live again
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
I want you back
I want you back
Ah Ah Ah, Ah Ah Ah
Oh baby I need one more chance
To show you that I love you
I want you
I want you so bad
I want you
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad.
I want you
I want you so bad,
I want you
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad.
I want you
I want you so bad,
I want you
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad.
I want you
I want you so bad
You know I want you
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad.
She's so heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
She's so heavy
She's so heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
I want you
I want you so bad
I want you
I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad
I want you
You know I want you so bad, babe
I want you
You know I want you so bad
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad
Yeah
When i was eighteen everything was alive
Then the planes hit the towers
Then she died and he died
A part of me disappeared six feet in the ground
A million miles in the sky a fire burns,
A fire burns, a fire burns and it is mine
And i did what i did
What we did to survive
Five whole years of my life i spent mourning you and why?
Girl you're still alive
But you're too dead to keep inside
You take the years, you keep it all, i finally think i might be alright
So lets just let it all go cause nothing can change
And if something is lost then there's something to frame
I just sing what i have
And i got this girl, not yet crushed by the world
Ill count the freckles on her face one, two, three hundred times a day
And sing a new song
Something i'd never here
Its BETTER LOVE that i found, bigger love that you fear
So deep inside me, hot in this frozen cave
Her fire burns, her fire burns, her fire burns and it is brave
When i was eighteen everything was alive
Then the planes hit the towers
Then she died, then he died
A part of me disappeared six feet in the ground
A million miles in the sky a fire burns,
A fire burns, and i just let it all go
I wont fear change
And if something is lost then there is something to frame
Ill just sing what i have in the heavens above
In the song in the sky a fire burns,
Helplessly hoping
Her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses
Of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly, high
Only to trip at the sound of good-bye
Wordlessly watching
He waits by the window
And wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
He worries
Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello?
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
Stand by the stairway
You'll see something
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying
It's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on hello
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
i am somewhere in the city climbin' up a fire escape
see i am somewhere in the city climbin' up a fire escape
you know i got to save my baby from the mess that this world has made
oh i arrive through a window
leave through a hole in the wall
see i arrive through a window
leave through a hole in the wall
you know i got to save my baby as i carry her cradle and all
helicopter, helicopter
let your long rope down
you see i swing beneath the sunset
done all that i can do in your town
violence has taken wind out of my sails
violence has taken wind out of my sails
you know i got to save my baby from the mess that this world has made
helicopter, helicopter
let your long rope down
you see i swing beneath the sunset
done all that i can do in your town
i am somewhere in the city climbin' up a fire escape
see i am somewhere in the city climbin' up a fire escape
Well i ran through the river of pride and shame
i didn't even know the game
so frame a portrait of the way
the path that twists around the gypsy waves
oh it can
slip right through your hands
when you list your demands
ohh the price you pay
walking in the flames
find, your wave
and sail away today
your actions claim
your soul
can you dance on the edge of your time?
can i rise to the changes from the cages i've been living inside?
so frame a portrait of the way
the path that twists around the gypsy waves
oh it can
slip right through your hands
when you list your demands
ohh the price you pay
walking in the flames
find your wave
and sail away today
my actions claim
and the sky will fall in my name
did i not write these words
in a time to leave again
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
I dig a girl who's on her own
Smiles at the lonely folk
Cause she's got nothing figured out
I laugh
Cause I don't wanna cry no more
I laugh because I hit the floor
Wiping stains from the bullets of a bang
And when you're down and out of touch
I'll be waiting at that dock
The storm will clear and your ship will come to town
And when the tides don't go your way
And the sun don't shine for days
Which someday I will make her free
And scarlet you had a real friend in me
Love
Is lying in the strangest place
Is crying cause it has no face
Faces is the pain inside my gut
And I dig
The girl who sang me lullabys
Let me kiss her tired eyes
Tired I have been since she's gone
And when you're down and out of touch
I'll be waiting at that dock
The storm will clear and your ship will come to town
And when the tides don't go your way
And the sun don't shine for days
Were singing our way to FLA
You know I had a real friend in you
And when you're down and out of touch
I'll be waiting at that dock
The storm will clear and your ship will come to town
And when the tides don't go your way
And the sun don't shine for days
Well don't you worry, girl
I've been there. I've been around
If you're lost, I'll be found
Between us
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
When you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
Black eye, you showed me in a painting
Buildings and chrome
Don't take that pill, and ill take you home
I said common and realize one day you're gonna die
Break free, we'll be back before the weekday
Your dad will never know
That you took the pill, and i saw the road
When the chemicals are in i said one day your gonna die
Blow up, well i got a miracle
And you wanna know why
You were a home, and i am on fire
When the chemicals are in i said one day your gonna die
Black eye you hit, black eye on me
I am your trampoline
Black eye, you showed me in a painting
Buildings and chrome
Don't take that pill cause ill take you home
Oh i said common and realize that we can never die
Black eye you hit, black eye on me
Take the pill and I'll watch you sleep
Drive all night and you let me free
I said ill tell you one more time i never gonna be....
Well, you wake the love that sleeps inside
And dreamed that she had never died
Wipe that tear but you don't know why
Boy, you're pretty, but
You're just not for me
Better love I do not see
This girl, she had it kinda sweet
Till fame swept her off her feet
She see's nothing she did before
Let's her colors hit the floor
Scars are in her name
And she scars me in blame
Hey Scarlet, you're not the same
So be careful what you choose
I feel love for me and you
I'm not ashamed
So I'll walk another mile
To help you find out, child
I don't know what to do
I feel lost without you
Better love will come to you
So I flew west to see her pride
Two weeks since the music died
I watch the camera shoot this girl
Seems to me a hollow pearl
Mother sat me down
What's it like oh my boy
to be so destroyed
So be careful what you choose
I felt love for me and you
I'm not ashamed
So I walk another mile (I'll)
To help you find out, child
I don't know what to do
I feel lost without you
Better love will take you through
So here I sit. Some years have passed
I say I don't but I miss her bad
I smell her in my sheets you see
Like she's sleeping next to me
She'll say
Jack, I'm leaving now
So don't you wait up for me
I see a bad moon rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today.
Don't go 'round tonight
For it's bound to take your live
There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes a blowin'
And I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice for rage and ruin.
So don't go out tonight
It's bound to take your live
There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hope you got your shit together
Hope you are quite prepaired to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye taken for an eye.
Don't go 'round tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise.
Don't go 'round tonight
It's bound to take your life
I'm taking new answers to questions of yesterday
I've seen you slide away
When you cannot hold me, then I saw
Colors that ruin you way
Taken what you are yeah you will get real far
But you don't you know that I'm an Alley Cat
and I stay home and dream my life away
You know that I belong to that club you hate
Yeah we're doing just great
Running to your ends girl, when cracks line the words you say
High as the sky you seem so safe
So I'll take all the shame for you love
And you breath what we make
