Oh, true rider, fasten me
I saw a mystery, mystery
How you cast your reins aside,
and sidle up to me, up to me
Sweet obsession, devil's den
Lassos my blind eye
My blind eye, my blind eye
Oh, true rider, nothing's lost
Locked in a kiss, outsiders cease to exist
We'll shut it out (of the fist)
Outsiders cease to exist
We'll shut it out
Eight o'clock, the lights are on at Shea
Phone turned down, we've nothing much to say
Dozing off the TV drones
House key makes them turn and glance for home
Locked in a kiss, outsiders cease to exist
Flayed of the fist
Outsiders cease to exist
I was the fool beside you, I was the fool beside you, I was the fool beside you
For too long
The things about you that would drive me wild still drive me wild

Don't say a word
I am only sleeping
I haven't the nerve to tell you any more
You won't lie
If I go now
And the world won't know what trouble I'm in
Drift on, baby, leave
And I won't run from you
I will never look back at shadows
When it makes me come running
I'd never go talk to strangers anyway
Will you ever say what I fear you're dying to say
Well, I don't mind, if I don't think about it
Another sleepless night reading over by the only light
But I don't mind if I don't think about it
What scares me most,
I'll keep from you,
if you want me to I'll keep from you
Does it makes sense to you, getting old, living life 22
Well, I don't mind, if I don't think about it
Let's go far away,
Let's leave today,
if you want us to we'll leave today

As he fired up the drum machine
He stole a glance at the empty seats
He took a minute to retune his guitar
As the hour grew late
I wanna send this out to Richie Vey
In his thrift-store corner of the world
His soul is my cheap laugh
Driving in the south, the motor's on fire
Let's put it out, before the flames go higher
Monday matinee, in pull we are life's throb
So hard to choose between conceit and rock
Some college in the spring, the sound is all wrong
Reset the mate to our Flamin Groovies song
Driving, night again, they're late, car crash
It's a lot of time
It's a lot of time for a man who walks on me
For a man who walks on me

I wonder what's on your mind
I wonder what's on your mind
Look around and see
What it does to me
I wonder what's on your mind
I think I'll throw it all away
I think I'll throw it all away
And if dreams come back to me
I'll pretend that I don't see
I'll just cover my eyes instead
It'll surely come
It'll surely come
You tell me summer's here
and the time is wrong
You tell me winter's here
And your days are getting long
Tears are in your eyes
Tonight
You tell me that you haven't slept in days
You tell me sleeping only makes your tired anyway
Tears are in your eyes
Tonight
Tears are in your eyes
Every night
Although you don't beleive me, you are strong
Darkness always turns into the dawn
And you won't even remember this for long
When it ends alright
Please tell me how you know tomorrow staring at your shoes
Tears are in your eyes
Every night
Tears are in your eyes
Every night
Tears are in your eyes

Take it baby
If you want, want my heart
Take it baby
You can have it all
If you want, want my time
Take it baby
And if you want my last dime
Take it bay
You can have it all
Talking words, angry words
Hang in the air, we don't dare
Sky went gray, wake in white
Hangs in the air, we don't dare

Take care not to hurt yourself
Beware of the need for help
You might need too much
And people are such
Take care, please, take care
Some people read ideal books
And some people have great looks
But if your eyes are wide
And all words aside
Take care, please, take care
This sounds a bit like goodbye
In a way it is I guess
As I leave your side
I've taken the air
Take care, please, take care
Take care, please, take care

What's the matter, why don't you answer
What's the matter with me?
It is so hard to be
Free and easy, we'll disappear completely
Hardly as I've known it's glad
Youre heart is broken, and the doors are open
As you're hoping to be
There's brighter places to see
Hands need warning, early in the morning
Hardly as I've known a surprise
No, don't warn me
I know it's wrong, but I swear it won't take long
And I know, you know,
It makes me sigh; I do believe in love
Another season, but the same old feelings
Another reason could be
I'm tired of aching, summer's what you make it
Scold me, that's all you've got to say
Coldly, hurt me and turn away
You say, "I'm not sorry yet" I'm resigned to what is next
I head for the shadow
Hold me taking it back through tears
You've told me, slowly confessed your fears
But I've got myself to protect. It's too soon for me to forget
I'll wait in the shadows
In the shadows
Though I am alone
They help me, see that I'm the only one in your heart
So until I truly believe that your words convey what you mean
I'll wait in the shadows (2x)

The room was filled with talk
For anyone listening
I found a spot by the door
With no one around
Let my mind go
Out of tune
Out of tune
I kept a smile on my face
For anyone looking
Tried to turn away questions
Before he asked
Let my mind go
Out of tune
Out of tune
I was engrossed in the film
Without really watching
Said, "who's the guy with the gun?"
As if I was involved
Let my mind go
Out of tune
Walking on 10th Street
The guy in front of me, Walkman, headphones on, Stones cranked
The thing that caught my ear, singing loud and clear
Well every couple of steps I heard "Woo-woo"
And he said it so un-self-consciously
That never it would occur to me that
He revealed himself
and I'd offer a blue
I was drunk the night we met, I might try to forget
Except I know so were you
I don't really care, cause we went on from there
And I try not to hide from what is true
The other night I had this dream
You told me what you want from me
I gave it to you instantly
show me where you keep all your secrets upstairs
night after night you sleep while they're setting off flares
someone came and took all the roses away
now you'll sit showing me tears if you want me to stay
cause down the street all the meters have run out of time
run out of time
I waited for you as the trees swayed out of time
in a crowded room I pick up your lonely stare
I'll cover for you like a slipcover covers a chair
but someone came and took all the roses away
it was only 5 minutes, it felt like it stretched into a day
someone came and took all the roses away
took all the roses away

How I feel around you

All I know is when you smile
I believe in everything
Do you know how I dream
How I dream about you
Do you know how I feel

Dream a little dream
in my little corner of the world
You'll soon forget
that there's any other place
Tonight, my love
we'll share a sweet embrace
And if you care to stay
in my little corner of the world
We'll ride away
in my little corner of the world
I always knew that I'd find someone like you
So hop o'er to my little corner of the world
And if you care to stay

We could hide away

We always knew that we'd find someone like you
Got something to say, sit down on the bed
Something that I usually leave unsaid
It doesn't come so easily, I guess that's no surprise
I wanna see my heart's reflection in your eyes
Let's lock the door, hide the key

Inside 1000 people with yellow ribbons sing

Watch him burn
He's dropping to his knees
Watch him burn
A medley: hits from Grease
Watch him burn
He never fails to please
Meanwhile in Taho outside Casa Tony
Wetting rags in gasoline
A jealous Frankie Valli says
"Dawn, I want you back"
Lights a match and counts to 3
Watch it burn
Reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze

Humming "Sherry," splits the scene

We're sorry to inform you
Saw you at a party
You asked me to dance
Said music was great for dancing
I don't really dance much
But this time I did
And I was glad that I did this time
And the song said "Let's be happy"
I was happy
It never made me happy before
And the song said "Don't be lonely"
It makes me lonely
I hear it and I'm lonely more and more
Where I belong, where I belong
I wasn't dressed right, I rarely am
You told me that you didn't care
I laughed as you wobbled in your platform shoes
You laughed when I called Andrea true Anita Ward
And the song said "Let's be happy"
I was happy
It never made me happy before
And the song said "Don't be lonely"
It makes me lonely
I hear it and I'm lonely more and more
Where I belong, where I belong
And the song said "Let's be happy"
I was happy
It never made me happy before
It asked "Do you remember?"
And I remember, remember like it wasn't long ago
And the song said "Don't be lonely"
It makes me lonely
I hear it and I'm lonely more and more
In the midnight moonlight hour
She's walking along that lonely mile
And everytime I do
I keep seeing these pictures of you
Here comes my baby
Here she comes now
And now it comes as no surprise to me
With another guy
Here comes my baby
Here she comes now
Walking with a love, with a love that's oh so fine
Never to be mine
No matter how I try
You never walk alone
And you're forever talking on the phone
I try to call you names
But everytime it comes out the same
Here comes my baby
Here she comes now
And now it comes as no surprise to me
With another guy
Here comes my baby
Here she comes now
Walking with a love, with a love that's oh so fine
Never to be mine
No matter how I try
Here comes my baby
Here she comes now
And now it comes as no surprise to me

Here comes my baby

Eyes go places that you can't see
It's not that easy to hide from me
I hear the whispers everywhere I go
I hear the laughter everywhere I go
3 AM with the TV on
4 AM, TV on
The nervous ticking of my heart
Restlessness when we're apart
Think about the last thing that we said
Again and again it runs through my head
And I hear footsteps that aren't yours
They sound like yours, but they all do
Not much left for me to pray
Why sleep or dream when I'm awake
My eyes in places you forgot to look
My eyes in places you forgot to look
you shouldn't hide but you always do
cause even when you're gone, I can see right through
you want disconnection
you want me there enough for two
pull a woollen blanket across my eyes
dream a quiet place for us to fight
oh no, your heart is broken
don't you think that's a little trite?
I climb where I can see
you're close but I won't reach
blank stare at the tv
CNN's on channel 3
in the passing lane on 1 and 9
stuck in sad, car stuck in drive
oh no, your heart is broken
well, you can have what's left of mine
I climb where I can see
you're close but I won't reach
blank stare at the TV
the howling II's on channel 3
oh, I drift off to sleep
I want summer's sad songs behind me.
I want a laugh a minute, without fail
Want to be Paul Le Mat in 1980
Looking to forget tomorrow, looking everyday.
I want to see you put your hands together.
I want to cross my heart
I want to hope to die
I hear Kate Moss talk, she talks to me
She's looking for a new beginning everyday.
When Monday comes I want nothing
Come Tuesday morning I want the same
The days and nights fly by
You may have left your mistake with breakfast
Watching the sun go down
I've been lying awake till dawn now
I'm not ready to face that
I'm not ready to face that thing today
I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
I've wasted away
I think of the things that matter
And I think of the things that don't
Whatever it is no matter
I hate feeling the way i feel
I hate feeeling the way I eel today
I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
I've wasted away
I see myself with headphones on
I'm listening to Wake of the Flood (?) (2x)
now I'm high
I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
I've wasted away
I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
I, I should know
You shouldn't have to tell me
Sometimes it's the way we feel
or the way we feel we feel-
pretty bad
In a double dare
He's got wandering eyes
And I see 'em look at you
looking straight at you-
but I know where they are
I'll walk you home
You take as long as it takes
The sun in the morning sky,
in the morning sky we'll know where we are
Did I tell you of the dark lonely road
I was counting my steps as I made my way home
Days of nothing but time on your hands, weighing on me
Can't deny it, undecided
Whether to count what I felt against what I could say
I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
Brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait.
Our love is so important to me
Starts wherever you land, walks right over to me
Days of nothing but time in between, I'll be asleep
So unwary or uncaring
I try not to be part of that, well, that's easy to say
I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
Brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait.
There's a moment to discover no one can take all the blame
and it's finally clear.
I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
Brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait,
willing to wait, willing to wait
I see you crawling across the floor
Never see you standing anymore
You take whatever's put in your hand
You ask for more until you can't

It's not the first time you'll take a fall
Act like you've never sleen double before
We tie deep into the past
Take this chance with me cause it's your last

Never see you standing anymore
You take whatever's put in your hand
You ask for more until you can't

Not much Friday night, pinball, Lower East Side
Walked out of the past and into the bar
I used to think about you all the time
I would think about you all the time
Now it just feels weird, that there you are
The damage is done
Feeling like a kid again, my eyes are glued to the floor
I hope I mumbled goodbye as you walked out the door
In crowded bars, at subway cars
Whenever you are next to me,
center of gravity,
can't feel both feet on the ground
Walking home after dark, past the softball park
It's clear to me, according to a rule I learned one day in school
Basic geometry: two halves of a circle, you and me
It's a familial song we've known so long
Your clever cuts into me
as long as you're next to me
You, you won't talk about what we see when the lights are out
And I'm willing to hold your hand while you're lost,
while you're so full of doubt
Walk for miles, on your own loose ends, I'll find you there
I'll find you there
You, you walk up thin blue lines possible with reality
And I, I see through small red eyes,
glowing still at your uncertainty
Out of darkness you will come around, I know you will
I know you will
And I'll find you

Julie Christie, the rumors are true
As the pages turn, my eyes are glued
To the movie star and his sordid life
Mr. X and his old-suffering wife
I spent so much time dreaming about Eleanor Bron
In my room with the curtains drawn
See her in the arms of Paul
Say it, I can say no more
As the music swells somehow stronger from adversity
Our hero finds his inner peace
So now I'm looking for a lucky charm
With a needle hanging out of its arm
As time goes by I know it's gonna happen
I know it's going away
Gonna take its toll, gonna take its toll
Gonna take my time

And I'm thinking about the way things were
Thinking about Eleanor Bron
And I'm thinking about a lucky charm
And I'm thinking about the needle

I see a simple time
I see the warning light
When the summer comes undone
No sorry closing eyes
No cutting down to size
No other thoughts arise
When the summer comes undone
On darkened streets tonight

Take in the lonely sight
When the summer comes undone
And I won't wait
And I won't have to
I just waste my time alone

What can't you take anymore?
Expecting a whisper,
I heard the slam of a door

Gee, I don't know that that's true.
then I wonder, am I right?
or is that part of our problem?
Maybe I'm out of my mind.
Maybe I'm blocking out the truth.
But it seems like just a little thing,
like you don't want to listen,
and I can't shut up.

we don't have to talk.
all that I ask is you stop,
and remember, it isn't always this way.
You have the problem,
it comes with our private jokes.
when you're in a fury,
laughter gets stuck in my throat.
Sometimes I wonder why we have so much trouble
cheering each other up sometimes,
when one or the other of us is down.
Instead it's like, when you're in a bad mood
I look at you and I say, maybe she's knows something
I don't know, maybe I should be upset.
You don't have to smile at me
We don't have to talk.
All that I ask is you stop
and remember, it isn't always this way.
The way that I feel
when you laugh
is like laughing.
The way that I feel

whatever you want I'll do

from a sugarcube
try to be more assured
try to be more right there
try to be less uptight
try to be more aware

is what I want to do for you
sweeter than a drop of blood
from a sugarcube
and though I like to act the part of being tough
I crumble like a sugarcube
for you
whatever you want from me
whatever you want I'll do
and I will try

Do you need someone to hide behind
Well I don't mind
Well I don't mind

Know that it's that way for everyone

Something go wrong
Sing so low you even blame the sun
You blame is at the cause
Of the shadows on the wall
They're not as bad as they appear
Could it be
that it's the season of the shark
Do you need someone to help you through
Well I don't know
I don't know
Someone to take questions with you
I don't know
I don't know
I want to be
The one to make you feel okay right now
Some way, some how
So when I fall short
I sink so low that I even blame the clouds
For blocking out the sun
And the shadows on the wall
That's why you feel alone
Could it be that it's the season of the shark?
Please don't be afraid
No matter how much out there scares you so
Scares you so
Just look around
If it's not me then someone else you know
And I don't belong at all
Ignore the shadows on the wall
They don't mean a thing
Could it be that it's the season
I believe that it's the season
of the shark
I remember a summer's day
I remember walking up to you
I remember my face turned red
And I remember staring at my feet
I remember before we met
I remember sitting next to you
And I remember pretending I wasn't looking
So we'll try and try
Even if it lasts an hour
With all our might
We'll try and make it ours
Cause we're on our way
We're on our way to fall in love
I remember your old guitar
I remember I Can't Explain
I remember the way it looked around your neck
And I remember the day it broke
I remember song you sang
I remember the way you looked tonight
And I remember the way it made me feel
So we try and try
Even if it lasts an hour
With all our might
We'll try and make it ours
Because we're on our way
Well, it's 1 PM again
I guess I'm ready to begin
And it's reeling, there is a feeling
Let's not make any sudden moves
You don't have to show me how
But I'm not ready to right now
There is a feeling, and it's reeling
Let's not make any sudden moves
And if we don't leave today
There's no hurry anyway
I'm on the road here, safe at home here
So let's make sure we're sure
That it is reeling, and I'm pleading
Well, I don't care what's wrong or right
When you're not there by my side
I just wonder what to do
Well, if I can't have you
And I think about nothing much at all
Nothing but you and me
And I'm pleading can't we just be
The way that we used to be
Honey, wake up, won't you please come back to me
Honey, think of, think of the way things used to be
If we make up, well, I won't ever be that bad
Honey, wake up, and give me just one more chance, just one more chance
Well, I don't know how I lost control
But I now know that it's true
That the hurt I aimed at me misfired
And came back to hurt you
I've been wondering where you are tonight
And wondering where you've been
Now I'll walk these lonely streets awhile
And think about it again
Honey, wake up, won't you please come back to me
Honey, think of, think of the way things used to be
If we make up, well I won't ever be that bad
Honey, wake up, and give me just one more chance, just one more chance
What can I do? What can I say?
Honey, wake up, won't you please come back to me
Honey, think of, think of the way things used to be
If we make up, well I won't ever be that bad
Honey, wake up, and give me just one more chance, just one more chance
I won't ever be that bad, won't you please come back to me
Like a thumb in a rubber glove
Or a moonrock in the sky above
I'm thinking, could it be
I'm falling in love
Like a Chunky or a Charleston Chew
Like shoe crab soup or chicken stew
Like Cinderella's other shoe
I just want to be next to you
I wanna be, I wanna to be next to you
I wanna be, I wanna be next to you
Like a palindrome, or a friend indeed
Like wow, or Tara Key
It seems I always need remindin'
What a fool believes
Like Horton hearing a Who
Like everything old becoming new
Like looking out for number two
I just want to be next to you
I wanna be, I wanna to be next to you
Yeah, I wanna be, I wanna be next to you
Like Dr. Tom, like Mr. Met
Like Professor Frink, like a Chia pet
Like Eddie Bow, like Bob Levito??
Like Jill Talley, like Don Cheadle
I want to be next to you (x4)
Like eatin' ribs with Calvin Trillin
Like Timothy Carey in The Killing
Like Steve Coogan and Rebecca Front
Took a walk alone last night
Slept inside your head
It was raining hard again,
crawled back into bed
Tried to catch up to you
But you moved too fast
Thought about a million things
Fell asleep at last
Got up again last night
Tore all over town
Skidding tires screeching brakes
Barely make a sound
We were on a winding road
Going 65
Slid along an icy stretch, made it back alive
Little eyes are open but they don't see very far
You can only hurt the ones you love
Not the ones you're thinking of
Little eyes are open but they're sinking back again
Don't you know you're sleeping much too long
Wake up little eyes
Moving but not gaining any ground
Climbing up the escalator as it takes you down
Last night I heard this sound
Echoed everywhere
Like a buzzing amplifier
Burning through the air
It's still raining hard, you said
Have you any clue?
Is it ever gonna stop?
I guess that's up to you
Little eyes are open but they don't see very far
You can only hurt the ones you love
Not the ones you're thinking of
Little eyes are open but they're sinking back again
Don't you know you're sleeping much too long
Well, the rainman comes with his magic wand
And the judge says, "Mona can't have no bond"
And the walls collide, Mona cries
And the rainman leaves in the wolfman's disguise
I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours
Well, the undertaker in his midnight suit
Turns to the mad man, "Ain't you cute"
Well, the mad man he jumps up on the shelf
And he says, "You ain't so bad yourself"
I wanna be your lover, baby, I wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours
Well, jumpin' Judy can't get no higher
She got bullets in her eyes and then they fire
Rasputin, he's so dignified
He touched the back of her head and he died
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours
Well, Phaedra with her looking glass
Which she lays upon the grass
She gets all messed up, she faints
That's 'cause she's so obvious and you ain't
I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours
I once held her in my arms
She said she would always stay
I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
I threw it all away
I threw it all away
Once I had mountains
In the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran
Through every day
But what would I do?
I'd let it slip through
I threw it all away
I threw it all away
Love is all there is
It makes the world go round
Love and only love
It can't be denied
No matter what you think about it
You won't be able to do without it
Take a tip from one who's tried
So if you find someone
That gives you all of her love
Take it to your heart
Don't let it stray
One thing for sure
There ain't no cure
If you throw it all away
Several times over several days
I wasn't blind, but I acted that way
Causing you pain, well now I have to explain
As the empty feeling turns from black to blue
I can't believe this never happens to you
I see it on the TV and I laugh out loud
But it's the way I feel right now
Cooler than me, my confidence high
Reset the scene, no way to deny it
Finally I won and then I was undone
As the empty feeling turns from black to blue
I can't believe this never happens to you
I see it on the TV and I laugh out loud
But it's the way I feel right now
As the empty feeling turns from black to blue
I can't believe this never happens to you
I see it on the TV and I laugh out loud
When she said, "Don't waste your words, they're just lies"
I cried she was deaf
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes
And what else you got left
It was then that I got up to leave
But she said, "Don't forget
Everybody must give something back
For something they get"
I stood there and hummed, I tapped on her drum
I asked her how come
And she buttoned her boot and straightened her suit
Then she said, "Don't get cute"
So, I forced my hands in my pockets
And felt with my thumbs
And gallantly handed her
My very last piece of gum
She threw me outside, I stood in the dirt
Where everyone walked
And after finding that I forgotten my shirt
I went back and knocked
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it
And I tried to make sense
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
That leaned up against
Her Jamaican rum and when she did come
I asked her for some
She said, "No, dear", I said, "Your words aren't clear
You'd better spit out your gum"
She screamed till her face got so red
Then she fell on the floor
And I covered her up and then
Thought I'd go look through her drawer
And when I was through I filled up my shoe
And brought it to you
And you, you took me in, you loved me then
You never wasted time
And I, I never took much
I never asked for your crutch
Oh no, I think I'm falling for a false alarm
Like an all-day second stuck
Until you crunch the right arm
Well if I open my eyes, if I just pay attention to McNew
Well, I just held back
To listen to your cues
So it's not enough I never meant to hold you down
Waiting for the firestorm
Waiting for the false alarm
Well, is it really true? Well, I know, I mean I guess, uh, why not
Well is it really true, I don't know,
Too hard to figure out
I'm gonna mark my words, cross my eyes and stomp my feet
Cause I don't want you feeling bad, feeling bad, feeling
Worse than you do
Well, I'll stand my ground, hide behind a fake smile
Think I'll talk about something else
Just for a little while
Aw, said it once, said it twice, said it - you can tell it's the same old tune
Straight down to the bitter end
Tell me when there's more to go there soon
It's gonna hold my tongue in place, think about what to do
If you don't see nothing wrong this time
I may have been gazing out too late at night
I see a deeper window into my eyes
Every day they screech outside my window,
The crashing cars never seem to collide
Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
To catch the stars, I watch as they go by
I've been getting messages from outer space
They expire light in the window in the sky
There goes my mind
If we dare walk onto my window
I could hear them if I open my eyes
Sometimes flashing lights seem soulful in the window
You may have seen them circle me at night
I keep sending signals into outer space
They expire by your window in the sky
There goes my mind
Every day when restlessness takes over me
I can't see it as I'm closing my eyes
I keep sending signals into outer space
They expire light in the window in the sky
Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
To catch the stars, I watch as they go by
I've been getting messages from outer space
They expire light in the window in the sky
Someone else's date
In someone else's door
There's a girl with cherry Chapstick on and nothing more.
It's such a lurid pose
and she seems this close
But not to me
Clear as day
Crawling home at night
Wondering why the girls don't look at me when I walk by.
And the way they make me feel is way too real to believe
Wondering what it could be like if I could be that smooth
I could think about all that I missed out
It's hard to do
Someone else's date
In someone else's door
There's a girl with cherry Chapstick on and nothing more
It's such a lurid pose
and she seems this close
But not to me
Baby, every cloud has a silver lining
Baby, every dog really has its day
And it matters to me to see you smiling
Why don't we blow all your cares away?
Yesterday's gone and will be forgotten
And today is where every new day starts
Got to be free like the leaves in Autumn
You may be sad but it never lasts
And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark
We could go out walking out in the sunshine
Look at all the people out in the street
Hurrying away to their business functions
Waiting for a taxi for aching feet
Light up your face, baby
Let's get going
Wanna see a change in those weary eyes
We'll have some fun
Take a boat out rowing
Why ever should life so serious?
And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark
And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark
By the time it gets dark
By the time it gets dark
Let's be undecided, let's take our time
And sooner or later, we will know our mind
We'll be on the outside, we won't care
Cause we're together, that's somewhere
And there's a big day coming, about a mile away
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait
Let's wake up the neighbors, let's turn up our amps
And we know we're used to without a plan
We can play a Stones song, sitting on a fence
And it'll sound pretty good, til I forget how it ends
I woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep
Cause I had been thinking of where it all would lead
So I made you wake up, I said, "Let's take a walk,
People say that once you dyed your hair
You started showing up everywhere
Well you're standing tall, and you've got nothing at all
So you grab at everything you see
Now the world keeps spinning when you die
While the lights keep flashing in the sky
They'll be sighing after normal sights
Drags up baggage, pretend to read
Demand the pages that you'll never redo
Sun sets down on your skittish heart
Cedar mile, how it's coming apart
Now the world keeps spinning when you die
While the lights keep flashing in the sky
They'll be sighing after normal fights
Pickled eels, lemon peels
Hired hand picks you something new
Rainbow nights, stunning whites
Stars that shine but don't belong to you
The passive fools by the swimming pool
You'll fit right in with their pathetic grins
Stunning tricks, bottomless pits
You remind me where I don't want to be
While the lights keep flashing in the sky
They'll be sighing after normal sights
Madeline, hair in your eyes
With the voice as soft as satin
Madeline, you'll surely find
Smiles from inside a worried glance
You always kept me waiting
Somehow I never seem to mind
When the wind has caught your sail,
Come back and see me, Madeline
Madeline, after a while
They found your photo in a drawer
Madeline, from another time
I caught you standing in a door
When you were asked if we were sisters,
You replied you weren't sure
If the fog should ever lift,
Come back and see me, Madeline
Will you always keep me waiting?
Somehow I'm running out of time
When the wind has caught your sails
Stopped awhile this morning on my way back home
I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone
'Cause she is moving somewhere far away not slow
And though I tried so hard to please her
She said she really had to go
Even though this time it really hurts me bad
I've been through similarities, it's not the first break I've had
And I just can't let it bring me down so low
And though I tried so hard to please her
There must be something more to know
Never thought that we would find our end this way
It seemed that everything was going fine
Still with all the things that I can do or say
It won't change the fate I know so well is mine
So I'll stop and look right past the pain
Because I've been in love before and I can love again
While she's moving somewhere far away not slow
I know I tried so hard to please her
If you want, want my love
Take it baby
If you want, want my heart
Take it baby
You can have it all
If you want, want my time
Take it baby
And if you want my last dime
Take it bay
You can have it all
Julie Christie, the rumors are true
As the pages turn, my eyes are glued
To the movie star and his sordid life
Mr. X and his old-suffering wife
I spent so much time dreaming about Eleanor Bron
In my room with the curtains drawn
See her in the arms of Paul
Say it, I can say no more
As the music swells somehow stronger from adversity
Our hero finds his inner peace
So now I'm looking for a lucky charm
With a needle hanging out of its arm
As time goes by I know it's gonna happen
I know it's going away
Gonna take its toll, gonna take its toll
Gonna take my time
And I'm thinking about the way things are
And I'm thinking about the way things were
Thinking about Eleanor Bron
And I'm thinking about a lucky charm
And I'm thinking about the needle
Oh, I'm thinking about the needle
i followed you ..foolishly
you were at a smoky bar, you were out til three
sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four
we were gonna wait for you all night
so i locked the door
i was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay
we were gonna talk all night, till i went away
remember how you used to say, can't stay up late
a minute later we're older now, i can't stay awake
i'm driving by your parent's farm, in the Chevrolet
i remember that rusty car, like it was yesterday
saw my brother driving by, the other day
i wished that i'd go out to him, but he drove away
saw my sister standing there, standing in rain
then i thought about nothing, that it feels the same
another day, come and gone
don't think i can ever sing that song
little secrets we bring along
i'm taking my time, trailing behind, i thought of you
It wasn't it more than a minute
That first one was the test
He was listening but I dont think he heard the rest
It was easy to fall, but not easy to take a stand
With the sound of her voice or the touch of her hand
Everyone's heard the reasons why
A kid would let the poison creep inside
He said he wasn't scared, but you know he lied
The way some people die
He doesn't think of tomorrow
And he seldom looks back
When he did he saw failure
And a future so black
So, he sees himself through sad eyes
That have never caught the look of love
He'll never see what he's giving up
Everyone's heard the reasons why
A kid would let the poison creep inside
He said he wasn't scared, but you know he lied
The way some people die
You might think he's a victim
He just thinks its a guess
Its not the question, its who you ask
And the boats fly on friday
And you're never gonna see him again
It wasn't love that did him in
Everyone's heard the reasons why
A kid would let the poison creep inside
He said he wasn't scared, but you know he lied
Will you stare, will you stare as the final curtain starts to fall
Will you watch, will you watch with closing eyes, with closing eyes
Everyone, everyone's a little worried, you know I am
But I hate to watch the days go by, watch the days go by
Another day, another time, another way for the moment, watch it for a sign...
Well I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that I want to shoot it in the back
As the days go by, I'm stepping on them all like ants
I've seen the way that they look at you
Maybe you, or maybe not a guess, we'll know it after a while
I'm wondering just how this will stop, how's it gonna stop
Another day, another time, another way for the moment, watch it for a sign...
Speeding motorcycle

speeding motorcycle
I'm gonna wake you up early 'cause I'm gonna take a ride with you
We're going down to the Honda shop, I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt, it?ll take you anywhere you want me to
First gear, it's all right, second gear, hang on tight
Third gear, ain't I right? Faster, it's all right
It's not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys that two-wheel ride
We'll go on into the hills or anywhere you wanna decide
First gear, it's all right, second gear, hang on tight
Third gear, ain't I right? Faster, it's all right
We'll ride some hills like a champ because my Honda's built really light
When I go into the turn, lean with me, hang on tight
I think I'll put on the lights, so I can ride mine under the night
First gear, it's all right, second gear, hang on tight
Third gear, ain't I right? Faster, it's all right
First gear, it's all right, second gear, hang on tight
If the satcheting of gentlemen
Gives you grievance now and then
What's needed are some memories of planing lakes
those planing lakes will surely calm you down.
Nothing frightens me more
Than religion at my door
I never answer panick knocking
Falling down the stairs upon the law,
What law?
There's a law for everything
And for Elephants that sing to keep
The cows that agriculture won't allow
Hanky Panky nohow
Hanky Panky nohow
Hanky Panky nohow ohhhhhhh
There's a law for everything
And for Elephants that sing to keep
The cows that agriculture won't allow
Hanky Panky nohow
Hanky Panky nohow
You and me
Were at some goldfish pond
And I
I was tagging along for the ride
This ugly big-mouthed fish really made us laugh
And while I stood still
I felt a chill
I thought that maybe you did too
I wanted to feel that way forever
And that's why
If you're looking at me
I'll try
To be what you want to see
And if I
If I'm ever that lucky
You won't have to be so
You won't have to be so sad
Last night
I was trying to read in bed
I got to watching you sleep instead
Even when I got tired I couldn't stop
Because I love you so
And I pray you know
But I'm not one for praying
You knew I couldn't say that without making a joke
And that's why
If you're looking at me
I'll try
To be what you want to see
And if I
If I'm ever that lucky
You won't have to be so
Let's be undecided, let's take our time
And sooner or later, we will know our mind
We'll be on the outside, we won't care
Cause we're together, that's somewhere
And there's a big day coming, about a mile away
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait
Let's wake up the neighbors, let's turn up our amps
And we know we're used to without a plan
We can play a Stones song, sitting on a fence
And it'll sound pretty good, til I forget how it ends
I woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep
Cause I had been thinking of where it all would lead
So I made you wake up, I said, "Let's take a walk,
Black and white, the background shifts
Erasing time, retracing steps
What are you going to do?
Before the fall, before the flood
After the sinking feeling and the final cut
What are you going to do?
We're all waiting for you
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Outbound train is always late
We stay lost inside our day
Inbound train, engine glows
Approaches home, never slows
Outbound train is flashing red
We stay lost inside our head
Inbound train, engine glows
Approaches home, never slows
What are you going to do?
We're all waiting for you
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
I hear them whispering
Just out of view
Still unknown what's inside of you
Outside your window,
Neighbors peer in at you
How can we care for you?
How can we hold on to you?
Caught up in motion, swirling around,
Sometimes you're standing still
On uneven ground
Too many sirens they keep you up at night
Sit back and, hold your ears
How will we hold back your tears
I hear them whispering, they analyze
But no one knows what's lost in your eyes
Sending the message, it doesn't get to you
How can we care for you?
Slipping, away deep, inside of you
When I stare into your space
I look before you
And I can see you at the times
I'll be around,
to pick up your thought
I'll be around
Save your kaleidoscope girl
In the doorway
Just look to my world at the times
I'll be around,
to pick up your thought
I'll be around
Why should I turn from your face?
I'm looking for you
And I still miss you at times
I'll be around,
to make up your thought
Heard your voice in my head too soon
pass failsafe in our cocoon
Baby make up your mind
Please make up your mind
So we left a stone unturned
Maybe that's a lesson learned
Baby make up your mind before it's too late
I didn't waste your time, not much
That's where I draw the line as such
Oh baby make up your mind
There's always more to say
But it'll keep for another day
Oh baby make up your mind before it's too late
We got out alive
It all worked out this time
And everything's fine
Yeah please make up your mind
baby please make up your mind
But if it's up, it's up to me
I'm not sure that I'll concede
We've come unmoored
Rip tide pulling, pulling away from the shore
But we feel safe inside
Not a wave in sight
Hang on tight
The water's fine
Rock the boat
We've come unmoored
Slipped the cleat, lost at sea
Crack in the centerboard
But we feel safe for now
As long as time allows
Hang on tight
Rushes by too fast
And never seems to last
Hanging ten
Waiting here before the mast
Ship of fools
We've come unmoored
Rip tide pulling, pulling away from the shore
But we feel safe inside
Not a wave in sight
Hang on tight
There's still time
For every stupid thing that happens to you
Every single thing I say
Did you stain a waist line into gray
Every little thing just creeps up on you
A bumpy road
I could still reach them
And it takes my breath away
And I still want
We always wake before we fall
I always know that when we wake up
You re mine
Liquid the time that holds us down but
I can barely slumber
When does that time go before our eyes?
Every stupid thing that happens to you
Simpler things are said
Not so hard to see
But it seems so out of reach
And I still want
We always wake before we fall
I always know that when we wake up
You re mine
And I still want
We always wake before we fall
I always know that when we wake up
Hold it in your arms
Be still, be there
I'll hold you in mine
Before we run, we can start to sing
I know it's hard, believing in all of this
And then we run, running away from the end
Running away from the end, running away to stay
Orange clouds before the sky rolls back
Before we lose our earth
Before we escape, cross the dotted line
Too fast, and wise
Slowly like the storm
Be still, be there
Running away from there
Running away from there
Running until we're there
Take me to the place, the lonely place
Take me out beyond the stress
Speak to me words we can't erase
Things we did I’m thinking
The joke we left unsaid
Aren’t sure how and when we were misled
And if that matters
It’s a varied feud
And all that matters for me is you
Is that enough? Oh
Is that enough? Well
It’s not enough, no
If it’s unclear, the way I feel for you
I wondered if you’re sleeping
I wondered how to know
I wonder why I hate to let that show
It's unimportant
As far as I can tell
(But) What's important?
I can’t see so well
Is that enough? Oh
Is that enough? Well
It’s not enough, no
If it’s unclear, the way I feel for you
It’s true
What can’t come back’s what we can’t bear to lose
I’m getting smarter, nearly every day
Waiting, waiting
To see my way
Is that enough? Oh
Is that enough? Well
It’s not enough, no
There’s just no way that it’s enough
Is that enough? Oh
Is that enough? Well
It’s not enough, no
If it’s still unclear, the way I feel for you
It’s sad
But not untrue
Sometimes the bad guys go right on top
Sometimes the good guys lose
We try not to lose our hearts, not to lose our minds
Sometimes the bad days may take their grip
Sometimes the good days fade
But the rain today hurts the drink to drink
But nothing ever stays the same
Nothings explained
Cause this isnt the road we know
Lose no more time
No time
Cause its been fun
I heard that you called me
From far away, far like the king Tut
Having the force to make it right
So I just cry
I fell to stay good
So been away
Before couldnt see
And were gone
But nothing ever stays the same
Nothings explained
Lose no more time
No time
Cause it's been fun
But nothing ever stays the same
Nothings explained
Lose no more time
No time
Cause it's been fun
Cause it's been fun
Cause it's been fun
Cause it's been fun
Cause it's been fun
When you're screaming in my head
What's the point of it?
When you're sure you'll walk in here
Or nothing you'll remain
Say that we're afraid
Say that we would run
Maybe we'll stroke it
If we're not so strong
That's the point of it
When you choose to hide your eyes
Take me out of here
Find the comfort end of life
If open it disappears
Say that we're afraid
Say that we're not the ones
Maybe that's okay
If we're not so young
That's the point of it
When I‘m standing next to you
That's the point of it
When you still run by us too
That's the point of it
Say that we're afraid
Say the night is close
Honey, that's okay
If we're getting old
If we're not so strong
If our story's told
![Agkistrodon piscivorus is a venomous snake, a species of pit viper, found in the eastern United States. Adults are large and capable of delivering a painful and potentially fatal bite.[citation needed] This is the world's only semi-aquatic viper, usually found in or near water, particularly in slow-moving and shallow lakes and streams. The snake is a strong swimmer and will even enter the sea, successfully colonizing islands off both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The common names for the species include variants on water, swamp or black 'moccasin', 'viper', 'cottonmouth', and 'rattler'.[2] Many of the common names refer to the threat display, where this species will often stand its ground and gape at an intruder, exposing the white lining of its mouth. The diet consists mainly of fish and frogs, but is otherwise highly varied and, uniquely, has even been reported to include carrion. The specific name is derived from the Latin words piscis and voro, which mean "fish" and "to eat".[3] Three subspecies are currently recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.[4]](http://web.archive.org./web/20140702172918im_/http://cdn3.wn.com/ph/img/79/9f/04a8b026c803c72c76d158573e01-small.jpg "Agkistrodon piscivorus is a venomous snake, a species of pit viper, found in the eastern United States.
