Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- Thinkin bout some days gone by how
time just floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to
good friends and times that money cant replace
Everytime I close my eyes I’m lost in a daze
Thinkin bout the things that I really want to say
And all the old games we played at Nickel Nickel arcade
Workin at the donut shop, dreamed of getting paid
And when the dishes got dirty, we got cascade
And when the weather was hot, we got a spot in the shade
Well no lie before we high, always rockin fresh fades
Before the spade and the stage we was drinkin underage
Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- Thinkin bout some days gone by how time just
floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to good friends
and times that money cant replace
Now I was drivin down the ave
We on the radio now
You know the good times we’ve had
When we’re in front of the crowds
Always holdin it down for myself and the boys
And back in 95’s when we first got live
Now we was 18 years old on the run having fun
Playing shows in the sun, no bus when we begun
We had a van and a plan doin shows every night
Now the California dream we be livin that life
Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- Thinkin bout some days gone by how time just
floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to good friends
and times that money cant replace
when your time comes and you’re numbers up
All you have in life is what’s left in your cup
When the whistle blows and the party’s over
Don’t let em drag you out bored and sober
When what’s done is done and what said is said
And the dreams you’ve had are lying in your bed
Let your memories be filled with no regrets
There’s no second chance, there’s no turning back so..
Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- Thinkin bout some days gone by how time just
floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to good friends
Well I came straight home for a change
without drinking in bars till I could hardly stand
I came straight home for a change
without thinking I could find you moist in the arms of another man
I felt so empty that I though I'd float away
I never thought that I would ever hear you say
"You can't stay here anymore
I don't want you anymore
cause I've got someone else ... to love"
Well I came straight home for a change
without talking to every girl who came my way
Well I came straight home for a change
without walking through every door that looked o.k.
You paid me back in kind
for spending so many lonely nights and days
I would go back in time
if you would change your mind and invite me to stay
... with you.
Kidnapped, beaten
Raping technology
Outrage, assault
Tied down and forced to bleed
Captive, naked
Drank half the blood he drained
Handcuffed, tortured
Before she had escaped
Now set free
Violation
you should die
For this heinous type crime
Cruelty, sentenced
Due for release
Craving the urge
Drain his victim
Kidnapped...

And her hallway
Moves
Like the ocean
Moves
And her hallway
Moves
Like the sea
Like the sea
She says no no no no harm will come your way
She says bring it on down, bring on the wave
She says: nobody done no harm
Grace of God and raise your arms
She says: face it and it's a place to stay
This, this is the way it was
This, this is the way it is
When the water come rushing, rushing in
She says
She says anytime
Raise your arms
Flood
And her hallway
Like...
Like...
Like a million voices call my name
Like a million voices calling
Not now, not never again...
Sitting here now in this bar for hours
Strange men rent strange flowers
Seconds to the drop but it feels like hours and I
Think I'm going to...going to...
This, this is the way it was
This, this is the way it is
When the water come rushing, rushing in
She says
She says anytime
Raise your arms
Flood
And her hallway...
She says
She says anytime
Rais your arms
Flood
And her hallway...
As the water come rushing in
Like the sea
As the water come rushing over
Dream of the flood
In a flood of your tears, in sackcloth
And ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes and lies...
As the water come rushing in, rushing in
At the head of the river
At the source of the sea
And her hallway...
Like...

And her hallway
Moves
Like the ocean
Moves
At the head of the river
At the source of the sea
Sitting here now in this bar for hours
Trying to write it down
Fitting in hard with harder to come
Trying to fight it
Down the river there's a ship will carry you
Down river down stream
Down the river there's a ship will carry the
Dream
Dream of the flood
Down the river there's a ship will carry the
Dream of the flood
And her hallway...
As the water come rushing over
As the water come rushing in
As the water come rushing over
Flood...Flood...
Push the glass, stain the glass
Push the writer to the wall
It may come but it will pass
Some say we will fall
Dream of the flood...
Flood...
And her hallway...
Oh, maybe, in terms of surrender,
On a backcloth of lashes and eyes
In a flood of your tears, in sackcloth
And ashes and ashes and ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes and lies...
And her hallway...
Like...
As the water come rushing in
As the water come rushing over
Sitting here now in this bar for hours
While these strange men rent strange flowers
I'll be picking up your petals in another few hours
In the metal and blood, in the scent and mascara
On a backcloth of lashes and stars
In a flood of your tears, in sackcloth
And ashes and ashes and sechondhand passion
I could float away
I could disappear
I could hang my head
For at least another year
I could give up now
It could be today
I can join the navy
And piss it all away
I'm not saying it ever could be like it used to be
But I remember a time when you liked to pretend for me
Well I don't care if you believe
In unicorn horses and gravity
In North and South and wrong and right
In the Neverland, Lost Boys and Jesus Christ
In UFO's in the USA
And in a government
That killed JFK
But don't you stop believing in me
Don't you stop believing in me
I could float away
I know you might say
I make too much sense
This empty room and my empty heart
Is all the evidence
And no one wants to hear
My point of view
You keep saying things like that
And I'll believe it too
I'm not saying it ever could be like it used to be
But I remember a time when you liked to pretend for me
I don't care if you believe
In unicorn horses and gravity
In North and South and wrong and right
In the Neverland, Lost Boys and Jesus Christ
In UFO's in the USA
And in a government
That killed JFK
But don't you stop believing in me
Don't you stop believing in me
I could float away
I could float away
I could float away
I could float away
I don't care if you believe
In unicorn horses and gravity
In north and south and wrong and right
In the Neverland, Lost Boys and Jesus Christ
In UFO's in the USA
And in a government
That killed JFK
But don't you stop believing in me
Don't you stop believing in me
Don't you stop believing in me
I could float away
I could float away

Pounded by the hurricane but finished off by the government
Trapped in Katrina’s aftermath by George’s emergency management
Stranded on the rooftops are the people left for dead
Waving franticly to their leader, who’s flying safely overhead
He’s been too busy raising money for his own political gain
To throw the city a lifeline when it’s sinking down the drain
So the supplies supposedly on route meet another inexplicable delay
The rising tide of bureaucracy has washed all hope away
Flooded with bureaucracy
Flooded with the lies
Flooded with excuses as the political damage starts to rise
Wading through the politics
Wading through the culpable
Wading through the talking points that defend those most responsible
Submerged under the failure
Submerged under inaction
Submerged under the photo-ops staged as a distraction
Drowned by the incompetence
Drowned by the indifference
Drowned by the government’s undisputable negligence
The backdrop is erected and the cameras relay the determination
Of a battered incompetent president looking to stop the devastation
Not for the victims but for his own declining ratings
So he parades his presence in front of the nation to initiate the rebuilding
Not of New Orleans but solely for his image
It’s only his agenda that he really wants to salvage
Empty promises of endless resources, his absence rationalized
He flies in for his photo-op and afterwards his commitment subsides
Flooded with bureaucracy
Flooded with the lies
Flooded with excuses as the political damage starts to rise
Wading through the politics
Wading through the culpable
Wading through the talking points that defend those most responsible
Submerged under the failure
Submerged under inaction
Submerged under the photo-ops staged as a distraction
Drowned by the incompetence
Drowned by the indifference
Drowned by the government’s undisputable negligence
If you are poor
It’s time to sink or swim
If you are black
It’s time to sink or swim
Those people were forgotten
Those people were stranded
Those people were betrayed
Those people were abandoned
He promised to protect the people but he’s abandoned them instead
In terms of Bush’s legacy what’s another thousand dead?
He rounded up the National Guard to defend American interests in Iraq
When he can’t even defend this country against a hurricane’s attack
He embraces cronyism and surrounds himself with friends
The unqualified allies that he installed are the only people he defends
A pat on the back for Chertoff and words of praise for Brown
As they all stood idly by and watched an entire city drown
Flooded with bureaucracy
Flooded with the lies
Flooded with excuses as the political damage starts to rise
Wading through the politics
Wading through the culpable
Wading through the talking points that defend those most responsible
Submerged under the failure
Submerged under inaction
Submerged under the photo-ops staged as a distraction
Drowned by the incompetence
Drowned by the indifference
Breathtaking your making me so happy
When you kiss my lips tell me that you love only me (no one else)
Over and over baby you're all I dream (you're all I dream)
Let me show you what I mean
Baby, your love lifts me off the ground
So kiss me one more time and watch me
Float away
Float away
Cuz your loving makes me high I float away
My love, when I think of you my head gets light (float away)
And girl when you smile at me my heart takes flight (float away)
Across the stars we meet there's no place I'd rather be
Than right here with you right next to me
Baby, your love lifts me off the ground
So kiss me one more time and watch me
Float away
Float away
Cuz your loving makes me high I float away Bridge:
No star is quite as bright
As the twinkle in your eye
Come fly with me tonight
We'll meet up in the sky
Baby love has wings, baby love has wings
For you and me, for you and me away
Baby, your love lifts me off the ground (off the ground)
So kiss me one more time and watch me (watch me float away)
Float away Float away
Cuz your loving makes me high I float away
Baby, your love lifts me off the ground (off the ground)
So kiss me one more time and watch me (watch me)
Float away
Float away (float away)
I was so high I didn't see you there
You had it easy, I was weak and you were everything
And all those voices running wild through my head
They keep on tellin' me to pass right on across the edge
So don't try to save me from myself
I'm falling away to somewhere else
I won't come down today
If you would cut me from my ties then I'll float away
So leave me like you find me with, I'll go alone
No joyful celebration when our life has been all said and done
And I'll fall the darkness, you'll be free of this pain
And you won't have to worry anymore, won't have to take the blame
So don't try to save me from myself
I'm falling away to somewhere else
I won't come down today
If you would cut me from my ties, oh, I'll float away
Then I'll float away, so I'll float away, said I'll float away, yeah
So don't try to save me from myself
I'm falling away to somewhere else
I won't come down today
If you would cut me from my ties then I'll float away
So don't try to save me from myself
I'm falling away to somewhere else
I won't come down today
Till you would cut me from my ties and I'll float away
Embrace the god of solar fire
Fill your veins with devotion
Free your mind, proffer your soul...
Skeleton dance with warlord messiah
Putrefied and perished by sin after sin
Malevolent creations, feast on your bones...
Soul, contemplating your
Soul, proffer your
Soul, repulsive
Forms, possessions control...
Proffer your soul
Feast on your bones...
Ceremonial offerings in seventh heaven
Fill your veins with celestial devotion
VIOLET HIGH
If all our lies were energy,
We'd build a wall and set them free.
For all the words I've badly wrote,
I'll build a boat and let them float away, away
Chorus
I ran from such a little man,
It's over now, It's over now,
After all you wore me out.
You're passing needles through me,
My bloody referee.
You're passing needles through me,
My bloody referee
If all our lies are energy,
We'd build a wall and let it be.
For all the times I've wrongly spoke,
I'll build a boat and let it float away, away
Chorus
I ran from such a little man,
It's over now, It's over now,
After all you wore me out.
You're passing needles through me
My bloody referee,
You're passing needles through me,
My bloody referee.
You're passing needles through me,
My bloody referee
You're passing needles through me
wind swept down herd moves east old life gone sea meets sky lay it to rest flood rest to me flood choking in
green field blue sky eyes fade heart dies eye dies heart fades skin dies bones glow flood
You float away (you float away)
You float away (you float away)
Can we get by
Tell me what you're gon' do
To change my mind
What you're puttin me through
Now I can't hide
Cause all the love is gone
So say goodbye babay
Cause you did me wrong
I can't pretend
No you hurt me too bad
This is the end
Of the love that we had
And our past tense
Cause now you broke my trust
So, pack your bags
Cause there's no more us, and
I don't wanna, love nobody
That can't look me in my eye
And constantly just makes me cry
I don't wanna, love nobody
Like your soul turn down the lights
There's nothing left of you & I
I, I don't wanna try
I can't live this lie, lie, lie
So let's say goodbye, bye bye, bye bye
And watch your love just
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Can you break this ice
Cause you've broken my heart
You bled me dry
I don't know where to start
But I know that
These veins are running cold
As my heart rate slows
You play it in slowmo
I see you all on him
Touching him, rubbing him
Loving him, right before my eyes
You're the devil in disguise
So stay out of my life
From now until the day I die
I don't wanna, love nobody
That can look me in my eye
But constantly just makes me cry
I don't wanna, love nobody
Like your soul turn down the lights
There's nothing left of you & I
I, I don't wanna try
I can't live this lie, lie, lie
So let's say goodbye, bye bye, bye bye
And watch your love just
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Tell me how you live with yourself
Knowing you been with somebody else
Tell me how'd you look in my eyes
Knowing that you were living a lie
I don't know what I'm gonna do
But I know one thing is true
I will be fine without you
Float away (float away)
Float away (float away)
Float away (float away)
Float away (float away)
Our love just floats away
I, I don't wanna try
I can't live this lie, lie, lie
So let's say goodbye, bye bye, bye bye
And watch your love just
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
I, I don't wanna try
I can't live this lie, lie, lie
So let's say goodbye, bye bye, bye bye
And watch your love just
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Float away, it floats away
Now it's gone
Said now it's gone
I will try when he's gone
And I wont reminice
About the kisses I'll miss
I'll move on
I don't like
What you are
Cause you tell me I'm wrong
When I'm just being strong
It's so far
And I was everything back then
I wasn't sure how this should end
Now I won't
Fall apart
I'll just wither away
Cause I know that he'll stay
In my heart
Now I know who was wrong
But I almost forgot all the things that I'm not
Though this took so very long
And I was everything back then
I wasn't sure how this should end
And I'll say no more
And I speak what is true
There were pleasantries spoken
Many promises broken
Attentions they grew
And now I've had my fill
And I'll dance on the street
Just to prove that I'm great
Robbie Rivera - Float Away
Float away, with me
Float away, with me
Float away, with me
Float away, with me
I want to take you down by the river
Where you can watch me undress
I want to lie with you in the water
Naked, floating on the sunlight
Float away, with me
Float away, with me
And in the waterfall I explore you
I want to be your temptress
And as a cool cascade washes over
We fall into the fire
He la la la la, he la la la la la la
Float away, with me
He la la la la, he la la la la la la
Float away, with me
He la la la la, he la la la la la la
He la la la la, he la la la la la la
Float away, with me
Float away, with me
Float away, with me
Float away, with me
Float away
