Any time now I'm gonna wake up and see the day.
Any time now I'm gonna wake up and find my way.
And by that time now, you're gonna never ever never ever hear me
say "That was the longest damn day."
Do you ever truly feel that it's a waste of time
to live a day?
I mean, deep inside have you convinced yourself there's much
more to get out of the way?
But, for me it's that last baby moment before I wake.
It bless my soul, caress my heart, leave me
wishing for a brighter day.
Any time now I'm gonna wake up and see the day.
Any time now I'm gonna wake up and find my way.
And by that time now, you're gonna never ever never ever hear me
say "That was the longest damn day."
Do you ever truly dream and stay inside them
before you wake?
I mean, deep inside can you relax the mind and grab the minute like
the last one to save?
Well, for me it's that last baby moment before I rise.
It fills me with wonder, it bless my soul, catch the dream before I open
my eyes.
Any time now I'm gonna wake up and see the day.
Any time now I'm gonna wake up and find my way.
And by that time now, you're gonna never ever never ever hear me
say "That was the longest damn day."
One, two, three more days will never be enough for me.
One, two, three more lifetimes will bless my soul for my eyes can see
That I can wake up if I want to.
But I'll just stay inside of my mind.
One, two, three more days will never be enough for me.
One, two, three more lifetimes will bless my mind for my soul is free.
Any time now I'm gonna wake up and see the day.

Bop bop bop...
I say now skittleedat dat,
Well how bout that?
I'm coming out the front never coming out the back
And I walked into the bar yesterday
Cause I had something to do, something to say
And Johnny walked in right behind me and I didn't turn around
Til I heard the sound of his feet falling on the ground
I looked over my shoulder and I saw a clown
And I said what'cha doin' in the bar tonight.
So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!
And I said, what'cha looking at?
He hit me across the face with a bat
I grabbed my .45 and I said let's get out and go
So he opened the door and said do what you're here for
I said I'm wandering round the road four to four
And I said I been walking for about a thousand years.
And my feet are growing tired
My eyes a little wired
Don't know what to do unless I retire
And he just said let's play some crazy poker
So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!
I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
But I'm not gonna quit and I'm not gonna stop
Don't give a shit cause I got the drop
Johnny just got two eyes just like mine
And I'm feeling kinda funky, kinda fine
And I drank a bottle of whiskey, 'fore I came
Came to the bar to see what's the same
I saw my man named Johnny sittin' across the table from me
And to my left was a man, he had no chin
Didn't really think about starting a scene
The man to my right wasn't feeling kinda nice
He looked kinda mad and I felt bad
Beacuse I took his money last night it's kinda funny
But now I'm just struggling--
I need a honey-bunny.
I don't know what to say anymore
So I'm just gonna go out, anywho...
So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!
Well, in the end my friend, we will all be together again
Clutching onto my hand, in a valley we'll stand, I'm just living again
In a while we'll smile, march on another mile
On hallowed hills, attached to the land we'll be still
No one's ever gonna say a thing
And we'll be together, together again
Take it on to the city on down
Just a while ago my soul was confused, amused at what it did not know
Days went by, and amusement cried, I decide to let
My soul fly on by itself, pick happiness up and bring it back to my shelf
We'll be okay one day, in a valley we will stay
No more moving on
I knew it was right here all along
Won't have to hold your crown, no more looking around
Just holding ya tight, in the city on down
Just a while ago my soul was confused, amused at what it did not know
Days went by and amusement cried
I decide it's time, got to move on now
I was so scared
I was frightened, somewhat enlightened
So I changed my shoes
Now I walk through a valley of color, much better than the other
Way I did not know, now we can be united,
Miracle, miracle sighted, and I'm pulling it in
I know by now we can walk together at a regular speed
Do you dare to be excited, are you aware somewhat delighted?
Are you aware somewhat delighted?
At what you did not know
What can you say about tomorrow?
What do you know about my life?
What do you say to your daughter?
What do you tell to your wife?
Say Mr. Brown how about your daughter.
Do you know what she's done tonight?
And do you agree that we are lost here?
Well, among the lost we shall survive.
What's that you say when the rain won't go away?
What's that you do when no one's looking at you?
Where's that you go after the show?
What's that you say?
Say Mr. Brown how about this weather?
Is it gonna rain on our parade?
Is your soul as light as a feather?
Or am I flat out going insane?
Say Mr. Brown how about your brother.
Do you know what he's done with his life?
While you're chasing him out the front door,
He's chasing you with a butcher knife.
What's that you say when the rain won't go away?
What's that you do when no one's looking at you?
Where's that you go after the show?
God, give me one shot and I'll break right through
I am starting to be brand new
Rome is burning you can taste the embers
I am walking hard on Spanish Stairs
My Saint was silence rapping on the door
Grown up defiant wanting so much more
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say I say
Give me one shot at my life today
One shot at my life today
I don't want to be a stranger
Walk with millions, a delicate few
So sad how loneliness just follows you
New York City streets and avenues
Cut the concrete they march through
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say I say
Give me one shot at my life today
One shot at my life today
I don't want to be a stranger
I don't want to be just a passerby
Stand in line wrapped around the world
I don't want to be just a parasite
Holding on tight
Holding on tight
I got this feeling and it's down in my bones
I got this feeling and it's burning up my soul
I got to get just one shot, baby one more day
Got to give me one shot today
I can't believe the news today
Oh I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long how long must we sing this song
How long
How long
Cause tonight we can be as one
Tonight
Broken bottles under childrens feet
Bodies strewn on the deadened street
But i wont heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday (Sunday Bloody Sunday)
alright lets go
And the battles just begun
Theres many lost but tell me who has won
The trenches dugg within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers childres torn apart
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
How long
How long must we sing this song
How long
How long
Cause tonight we can be as one
Tonight
Tonight (sunday bloody sunday)
Tonight (sunday bloody sunday)
(lets go)
Wipe the tears off your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away
(sunday bloody sunday)
(sunday bloody sunday)
(sunday bloody sunday)
alright lets go
And its true we are immune
(sunday bloody sunday)
When fact is fiction and TV reality
(sunday bloody sunday)
And today the millions cry
(sunday bloody sunday)
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

Watching those colors change
Inside your eyes

All it does is turn me on
Maybe this night was all a dream
Maybe daylight won't ask me questions
Maybe this night was all for me
A dangerous connection, dangerous connection

I seem to find a way to tear apart
Every discussion leaves you battle scars
When it hurts to love you
I just numb the pain
But I'm having trouble feeling anything
And you want for answers and I can't reply
Take this advances as my way to try
You again, yeah

All it does is turn you on
Maybe this night was all a dream
Maybe daylight won't ask me questions
Maybe this night was all for me
A dangerous connection, yeah

Maybe daylight won't ask me questions
Maybe this life was all for me
A dangerous connection
Falling from the heaven
I know I've been away
But I'll come back for more, yeah
Maybe this life is all a dream
Maybe daylight will show me questions
Maybe this night was all for me
A dangerous connection, yeah
Maybe, daylight will show me questions
Maybe this life is all for you and me
Maybe everything I did between
Was just as dangerous as this is
Maybe this life is all a dream
Maybe daylight will show me questions
Maybe this night was all for me
Tuesday's coming my baby
I told you Wednesday morning
It's not too late for us
My bags aren't out the door baby
Dont you know life's a feeling
But without you it's nothing
It's not too late for us
My bags aren't out the door baby
Tuseday's coming and I'm not gonna laeve you here darling
It's a shame you cant hear me
Scream my lungs out believe me
The miles burn me up
I'm living just to watch your fire darling
I'm headed out for the road now
The engines hold me while sleeping
A road might take me away
But its sure enough to bring me home baby
Tuesday's coming
And I'm not gonna leave you here darling
Under this sun that's fit for a king
I'm up against the rock
I could have been anywhere else in the world
I'm holding down this spot
Nothing came close and nothing looked good
I'm out there on the edge
On the toe of it all a castle keeps an eye
On the bay under sheets of haze
Somewhere down there with the crashing waves
You kept plans for your grand escape
And I won't see you no more
You'll just hear me
'Cause I will scream, send it out to sea
I will live a mile beyond, a mile beyond
That heart of yours it's broken, ain't it torn?
So you will leave for the last time, for the last time
She set out one night for a place she'd never been
Oh, sweet my love, how does it end?
Did you find another house in the sun?
Did you fall in love?
You set sail but did not fail me
Are you coming back again
Or have you run like I did?
It's the last time you're gonna do it again
It's in your blood just to say goodbye
This time not for a while
So find your heaven, go on
You don't need me
So I will scream, send it out to sea
And I will live a mile beyond, a mile beyond
That heart of yours broken, ain't it torn?
So you will leave for the last time, for the last time
Coming to you in the middle of a cold night
Can't arrest the sun but I've been trying
I hear a song floating off a tidal wave
It's alright, it's alright
Nothing gonna touch when you've said goodbye
It's alright, it's alright
A million lost souls looking just like me
Waiting on their love but they don't believe
There's a million lost souls looking just like me
Waiting on permission but they don't believe
I will scream and send it out to sea
Somewhere between the rock face
And the place that I used to know you more
Waiting on the shore
As you leave for the last time
I will see you leave for the last time
Until I breathe for the last time
I took this girl out last night and we left around twelve
We walked along lonely streets and got to know ourselves
I like to read, she likes to write
She likes to sleep and I love to stay up all night
My friends say I'm crazy, and I agree.
But that's OK, that the way I like to be.
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
We went out late last night and we danced through the night.
I was holding on to her and she was gripping me tight, she was.
But she didn't care, and I didn't mind.
I was unaware that she liked to act so kind.
My friends say I'm crazy and I agree
That's OK, thats the way I like to be
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Hush little baby don't say a word
I'd like to give you everything that you deserve.
I'll give you my heart, give you all my soul.
You can ask for my money. If you like you can have control.
In my mind, I miss you every night that you're not here.
Oh, I just want to sit around your life and breathe your air.
And if i cannot have you, I just don't want to live.
Oh I got so much I'd like to give.
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
Just let yourself go
My baby, my darling
Just let yourself go
My baby, my darling
I need to know
My sweetie, my lovely
I'd love to let you go
i woke up with a headache from the night before
cause sometimes i drink
i spent the night with my head in a toliet bowl
it's where i like to think
i say cause i don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
i hate to lose all those itty-bitty pieces from my heart
la-la-la-ah-eh-oh
you ever spent all night thinking about your life
well i suggest you try
well it's something that you're gonna want to do in the night
cause i tend to cry
say cause i don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
i hate to lose all those itty-bitty pieces from my heart
la-la-la-ah-eh-oh
you ever spent all day thinking about the night
it's something that you do
when you're thinking way too much, you're out of sight
what you gonna do
i say cause i don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
i hate to lose all those itty-bitty pieces from my heart
la-la-la-ah-eh-oh
I see you there,
but you don't look right
You got a ten mile stare,
in your eyes tonight
Time ain't fair,
like it used to be
We're all dressed up,
nowhere to go
We lost our way,
about halfway home
And we hurt the ones
who get too close
Don't look back,
you'll never find your way
There's a million different people
who break the same way
When everything has come undone,
we got to bring it back to one
Back to one
We're all caught up
in what used to be
A grounded love,
and some memories
Why do I hurt the ones
who get close to me?
Darling, are you listening?
Don't look back,
you'll never find your way
There's a million different people
who break the same way
Forget about the things we've done,
and bring it back to one
More night,
another's on the way
We're all a little different,
but break the same way
When everything becomes undone,
bring it back to one
Bring it back to one more night
Bring it back to one
Let's bring it back to one
Bring it back to one
It's just beyond my reach
So bring me back to one
I know forever always asks so much,
don't you let it scare you
Don't you lose your touch
And when your still waters start to run,
bring it back to one
One more night,
another's on the way
We're all a little different,
but break the same way
When everything becomes un-
everything becomes un-
Don't look back
We'll never find the way
A million different people will break
the same way
When everything becomes undone,
Oh baby...
Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shinin'
Like a star that can't wait for the night
I hate to think out of line, here baby
Why can't I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts the burnin'
And the thrill of your touch give me fright
I'm shakin' so much, really yearnin'
Why don't you show up naked, alright?
Yeah, it's alright...
And if you promise your love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you never would leave me, baby
Whatever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
And you wish all your dreams would come true, hey
It ain't the first time, believe me, baby
I'm standin' here feelin' blue, oh, yes I'm blue
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes, no longer, and then I'm turnin' around round
And the clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Has lotted the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Love (or "Oh") that I found
Hey baby, c'mon
I feel somewhere, and I'll drive no more
Oh whoa, my heart is gone, at their low
Gimme a chance, gimme a chance
I see my dream and I just don't sing this song
Got to get home, got to get home, yeah
I feel this rain pouring down on me
Got to get home, yeah, get home
Got to get home, got to get home, got to get home
Got to get home
Oh now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I got no reason to doubt you, baby
It's all a terrible mess
And I'll run in the ring till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I run till I drop, hey
Thoughts of a fool getting (or "kinda") gutless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, oh, light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I...
Light of the love that I found
Light of the, hey na, light of the, hey na
Light of the love that I found
It's like a raindrop has fallen down on me
I hope it don't stop, I finally set myself free
I wanna be good, wanted to feel
That's fine enough to say but it don't make it real
Maybe I've been fighting just for nothing
But it's worth it in the end I feel
Laid up one night, tide in my eyes
Painting all the pictures on the back of my mind
Waiting for the shake down
I know it's coming, so I gotta lay it all on the line
'Cause all I want is just a good life
All I want is just a good life
But I gotta live like it is my last shot
Gotta live it up and down everyday
Gotta live if I wanna have a good life
Everyday gotta do more than I say
Gotta live like it is the last lime
Gotta live it up and down everyday
Gotta live, wanna have a good life
Let's do it now, would you show me how?
Gotta live
I must be losing another reason to feel alive
It's not for choosing, the path that I took is fine
'Cause I wanna be right, don't we all?
So we just walk around standing ten feet tall
Maybe we've been blinded, caught sleeping
But it's time for the rise up again
All we want is just a good life
All we need is just a good life
But we gotta live like it is your last shot
Gotta live it up and down everyday
Gotta live if you wanna have a good life
Everyday gotta do more than you say
Gotta live like it is the last lime
Gotta live it up and down everyday
Gotta live if you wanna have a good life
Let's do it now, would you show me how?
Gotta live
Maybe it's a state, a state that could be mine
I don't know I feel confused half of the time
But I remember when you told me real quick
"Son, look at your life, look back at it thick"
And then the thunder's clapping on the heels of Manhattan
I think it, it tends to happen from time to time
"Shake me up", said son
"Told me as you hold me, live this life every time"
You gotta live like it is your last shot
Gotta live it up and down everyday
Gotta live if you wanna have a good life
Let's do it now, I'm a show you how
Gotta live like it is your last time
Gotta give it up and down everyday
Gotta live if you wanna have a good life
Everyday do more than you say
Gotta live, live
Got to live more everyday
Do it when you say
Its been such a long day
Followed by long nights
Sit here by myself
But it just don't feel alright
You've been talking to me
Everyone talking at me
Like
Try me, how do you live?
How do you breathe?
Try me, I'll pick you up
And make you believe
Surrounded and scared ain't ya?
Nobody is there for you
Under it all, they don't shine the way you do
But you're tangled up in
Everything wrong for you
Come on back to me and I'll make it be the one
Everyone talking at ya
Everyone coming at ya
Like
Try me, how do you live?
How do you breathe?
Try me, I'll pick you up
and make you believe
Try me, how do you live?
How do you breathe?
Try me, and I'll pick you up
and make you believe
I know it's been such a long time
and they still don't let you in
I know it feels like a long time
but you're never comin' back again
Are you ever comin' back again?
Its been such a long day
Followed by long nights
Sit here by myself
And it just don't feel so right
Try me, how do you live?
How do you breathe?
Try me, I'll pick you up
and make you believe
Try me, how do you live?
How do you breathe?

You said, "Young man, don't rely on a sword,
Cause your words will outlive even time."
I've counted my blessings. The rest are for you.
Please listen close for a while,
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
I made the mistake once of fearing an end.
Is this life that we live just the world's accident?
Not a chance, so I move on with a smile.
Are you surprised where you are?
So breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
I grew up slow on the heels of the rest.
Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest.
And I don't feel like crying today.
Why can't we talk for awhile?
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
You said, "Son, just listen to me."
But I'm doing fine, James.
So you can sit back and just breathe.
And it's time now to let yourself go.
Hold us close, spin the dream,
He walks these streets some nights until way past 12
His mind can't decide if he's in heaven, he just cant tell
Sees her standing there,
smiling by the lamp post shine...
said he can't remeber ever feeling oh so fine
She gone, shes not coming back no way
She gone, shes not coming back to stay
She gone yea yea yea yea
As he turns away
his eyes are locked in her back
He continued down some ancient railroad track
Right then, right there, he sees that hes done wrong
And as he opens his eyes, he realizes that shes gone
She gone, she not coming back no way
She gone, she not coming back to stay
She gone, she never coming back again
She gone, whats he gonna do today?
She gone, so far away
She gone, my baby please, come back my way
She gone so far away
She gone so far away
I miss my baby
She gone so far
As shes gone, I dont know
She broke my heart, so let her go
When she'll return, I cant say
I know my baby gone away
One more hour one more day
Can't stand this shit no more, no more
All I want is to see you
All I need is you to come back my way
But you gone so far away
All I need is you to come back my way
But you gone so far away
And I cannot see you no more
cause my eyes have burned me blind,
And I wish that I could see you
but I'm far behind
She gone so far away from me today
From me, so far away
Am I coming on way to strong
Have I scared you off
Never met nobody
Who had me from the first hello
Then Oh
You really got me going
I'm working on a brighter day
I hope I don't scare you away
Let me give you some free advice
Never listen to a word I say
Because
I'm taking on the world today
You're by my side
It helps to be crazy
Taking on the world today
Hey Hey
Hey Hey
I might have showed up a little too late
But a car broke down on the interstate
That's cool I got some time on my plate
Feeling kind of good I hope you relate
Feels good cause i can see
The world's gonna twist another way for me
On it's axis
I can't ask this of you
If I could, would you come too?
I'm taking on the world today
You're by my side
It helps to be crazy
Taking on the world today
Don't you ever get tired of being so lazy
Taking on the world today
Slow down the race, life is amazing
Taking on the world today
Hey Hey
All we do is run around in circles
We just wait for everything to fall in place
We wait
All we love are things that we can't figure
Out and I'm about to make a change
Yeah
Everything around you's gonna change
I might have showed up a little too late
I think it's cool when you wait for me, baby
Leave it to fate like I always do
Take my hand, let's get crazy
Taking on the world today
Sometimes I just wanna get a little crazy
Taking on the world today
Don't you ever get tired of beng so lazy
Taking on the world today
Slow down the pace, life is amazing
Going on forever was never the plan,
I'm just passing minutes staring down to my hands
Man I gotta sing it, steal my heart, it can rest
And something started burning in the back of my chest.
All I ever asked for was a shot at the life,
and when you gave it to me, must have started a fire.
Burning for you.
Fire
Come on in and light up my heart
Come on in and burn through my soul
Come on turn the heat up
Pick your feet up
and let it burn.
I know you got my back, oh I won't let you down
something 'bout these alleyways just turns me around.
Could've been a night in a fight with the dark,
or maybe I'm a broken-heart in Battery Park.
And all I ever asked for was a shot in the dark,
And when you showed it to me, must've lit up a spark
Burning for you.
Fire
Come on in and light up my heart
Come on in and burn through my soul
Come on turn the heat up
Pick your feet up
Sayin' ohhhh-ooh-oh
Fire is burning in every one of us,
every one of us all.
I wish I knew,
how it was all so real.
It was just too soon.
Oh I got, somethings got to give
I feel it inside, burning me out, the fire is real.
Oh, you know, something's got to give.
So bring down your walls,
down with 'em all,
Let 'em fall.
After we all started to crawl,
The fire was real.
After we all started to crawl,
The fire was real.
Looking away won't save the day,
the fire is real.
Inside us all, thousand feet tall,
the fire is real.
Fiiiiiire.
Fire
Come on in and light up my heart
Come on in and burn through my soul
Come on turn the heat up
Pick your feet up
Sayin' ohhhh-ooh-oh
Fire is burning in every one of us.
Sayin' ohhhh-ooh-oh
Iron winter, got me cold
Convicted like a criminal
Sharp and nimble, the wind unfold
Got me to my feet again
Past the mountain I hear a cry
Coming from the pinnacle
Oh, In the distance a city shines
Oh, what a welcoming
Been to the black rock
Found my salvation
Rendered me patient
But wearing me thin
So I’m
On the way back home
Seen the big show, thousand times
Got to get back what is mine
The only way I know
Feet been walking, thousand miles
Got to get back what is mine
Bless the evening, it’s showed the way
Back to where it all began
Oh, undercover I made my case
I'm quietly a gentleman
Man, To be a fool is such a waste
He'll eat until he’s sick of it
Why not stop when you find your place
And be happy that you made it in
Been to the black rock
Found my salvation
Rendered me patient
But wearing me thin
So I’m
On the way back home
Seen the big show, thousand times
Got to get back what is mine
The only way I know
Feet been walking, thousand miles
Got to get back what is mine
What is mine
Fallen time
On the way back home
Feet been walking, thousand miles
Got to get back what is mine
The only way I know
Feet been walking, thousand miles
Got to get back what is mine
On the way back home
I'm on my way
You know I'm on my way back
The only way I know
Getting what is mine
Gonna get it back, give it back now
called her last night
and i read her a line from my favorite book of poetry
and i, i started to cry
she asked me what was wrong

stories like the sun is blue
and i, i never knew
half the time i spent with her
i wish to god i spent it all with you

and we talked for what seemed like the very first time
and we, we began to see
life is too short to run away from everything, she
reads
i don't know what you've done to me
i don't care anymore, can't you see
i just want love, just want love
it's not hard, just let me know
because every time i read a line from the book

I wrote a letter to a man
I sealed my envelope with hope and a stamp

I gave you a smile and then you turned away
I said nothing cause thats all that i could say

When can I go?
I just heard the world, is breaking down into bits again.
Tell me what am i to do?
And you just want me to stay, here.
So i'm just gonna stay, here.
Home, the last resort.
Build a castle with an iron door.
Lock the window, pull the shades, the hazed out sun won't help anyway.
If the world is crumbling down, I don't wanna be alone.
NO, locked up in this place.
I heard the world up, late night.
Holding my breath tight, trying to keep my head on right.
There's a chill in the air, nobody could care.
How you're caught up in the fight of your life.
Fear, is holding me here.
The television got me seeing unclear.
Bravery, my neighbor, moved away.
Cause I don't need to be courageous today.
If the world was crumbling down, I don't wanna be alone.
NO, locked up in this place.
I heard the world up, late night.
Holding my breath tight, trying to keep my head on right.
There's a chill in the air, nobody could care.
How you're caught up in the fight of your life.
I heard the world up, late night.
Holding my breath tight, trying to keep my head on right.
There's a chill in the air, nobody could care.
How you're caught up in the fight of your life.
Nothing's gonna save me.
I'm hanging from the nearest tree.
Nothing's gonna save me.
I'm hanging from the nearest tree.
I heard the world up, late night.
Holding my breath tight, trying to keep my head on right.
There's a chill in the air, nobody could care.
How you're caught up in the fight of your life.
I heard the world up, late night.
Holding my breath tight, trying to keep my head on right.

Holding my breath tight, trying to keep my head on right.
There's a chill in the air, nobody could care.
How you're caught up in the fight of your life.
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
I never meant to hurt you
But knew I someday would
It's like I built myself a cabin
With matches between the wood
And I'll be damned if I am happy
And you will pay the price
Strong becomes the liar
When he believes his own advice
I've got this one beat
I've got this one beat
Rain come fall on me
Baby
From the fallout
Hear me call out
I got this one beat
From the fallout
Hear me call out
I got this one beat
It's empty in the open
Days apart from you
Ashes trace the skyline
Of this burnout cabin too
And I'll be damned if you forget me
In this fire, I'll save your place
And keep it cool while I think of you
In the smoke I see your face
I've got this one beat
I've got this one beat
Rain come fall on me
Baby
From the fallout
Hear me call out
I got this one beat
From the fallout
Hear me call out
I got this one beat
They say the sky is falling
Are the angels coming too?
I'm gonna catch 'em if they come
Catch 'em as they fall
Climb on top this tower
Get me closer to the sky
I'll bring my memories back
Save 'em all for you
Fallout
Fallout
Fallout
Fallout

Hoping to find something better
At least better than what ya thought
So many aisles to venture down
So many choices you thought
Then a man come walkin down the aisle
With a smile as white as rain
But mom she's gotta go away again
And I'm runnin with the pain
Yah, la la la la
You ask yourself why you can't stay just five more minutes alone
And walk away
You know it, mom knows it, so whatcha want
She says, one toy today, she says
Why only one or another or none at all
How come every time I trip I never fall
Then a man he come walkin down the aisle with a smile as white as rain
But mom she gotta go away again and I'm runnin with the pain
Yah la la la la
You ask yourself why you can't stay just five more minutes alone
And walk away
You know it, mom knows it, so whatcha want
She says, one toy today
So many aisles to venture down
And there's nothin lookin nice
How come every time I look once, I have to look twice
But mom she's comin round the bend
And I'm buyin another toy
And she said son just come along with me
But I'm runnin with the boys
Yah la la la
You ask yourself why you can't stay just five more minutes alone
And walk away
You know it, mom knows it, so whatcha want
she takes it deep to her heart
right from the start
she talks softly over a glass of wine
now and again
she is more than a friend
but don't you just throw me a line
say now it would be great
if she'd dedicate
just a minute from her precious time
said i'll give it a while
but thats not my style
now how is that a crime
everyone says that i'm wild
pardon my french but i still know my child
and that wasn't it
i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o
i began walking
while she was still talkin
lookin for an exit sign
pardon my face
but i am leaving no trace
cause i really haven't got the time
well i began thinking
and my heart is just sinking
looking for a place to go
well isn't it sad
how she'll treats you so bad
and u never really let her know
well everyone says that shes cryin
but i can;t forget all the tiem i spent tryin
and that wasn't it
i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o
and i know i know
what it feels like to be alone
i say now i know i know
what it feels like to be at home
i say i like i like
stoping to say hello

why can't we take this slow, why can;t we take this
slow
why can't we take this slow
now i been thro the phases
and i walked thro the mazes
i'm sick and just a little tired
i'm sure it isn't fair
but i'm not aware
of the patience thats required
if i could have kissed her
everytime that i misses her
i wouldn't be out the door
but now and again
i sure need a friend
now isn't that what shes for
everyone says that i'm lyin
but i can't forget all the times she was cryin
and that wasn't it
i told her i need some time from her daddy-o
and i know i know
what it feels like to be alone
i say now i know i know
what it feels like to be at home

stoping to say hello

why can't we take this slow, why can;t we take this

its my life my life
why can;t we take this slow
Sitting here waiting on a new situation
On my way back to an old destination
I tried all night but I couldn't find the answers, no
I gotta make it work cause I'm running out of chances
Yeah, I must be out of my mind
And all the melodies coming back to me
I think I'm feeling just fine
City lights and just a few more miles to go
I do this all the time
Why do I draw these lines
They keep me out of reach
It's not what I wanted, no
But it brings me to my knees
Over and over
Over and over
Sitting here waiting on a new conversation
You're talking out of turn man, I'm running out of patience
And all the melodies coming back to me
I think I'm feeling just fine
City lights, just a few more miles to go
I do this all the time
Why do I draw these lines
They keep me out of reach
It's not what I wanted no
But it might be what I need
And I do this all the time
Why do I draw these lines
They keep me out of reach
It's not what I wanted, no
But it brings me to my knees
Over and over
Over and over
Sunny days
God I swear there must be
Sunny days
Up ahead or in between
Sunny days
Think I found you in this place
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Never say that nothing ever came from a mouse anyway
Crawled into my house took my cat away
Don't let your brain tell your mind that it must say
That nothing ever came from a mouse anyway
anyway
Never say that nothing ever came from a gnat anyway
Flew into my ear and then he done flown away
Always causing aggravation, so can't you ever say
that nothing ever came from a gnat anyway
anyway, anyway, anyway
Well something always comes from the music anyway
Came into my life and it stole my blues away
Oh my stereo is my best friend everyday
And this music is my blood is my blood
It always comes and goes but it never flows
Something always comes something always goes
Something always comes from the music
Something always comes from the music anyway anyway
anyway anyway
Dont you feel that this music flows
And dont you feel like its life
Well I do well I certainly do
I cant live without this music in my blood oh oh oh
Well it gets me off when im feeling down
And I can not sleep when this music is around
I live to move and I know that theres something there for me
this music
a wise man once said, A wise man, once told me he said, when music is the one thing that surrounds you, you feel no pain
Something always comes and it always goes
It will be there till the end after everything is gone
The music yeah
Oh it'll be there till the end
Something always comes something always goes
Something always comes and it goes
Something always comes from the music Anyway Anyway
Don't fear the morning
It's okay, it's okay
Hurt weighs heavy
It's okay, it's okay
When your body's cold and shaking
I'll steer you Darlin', steer you
When your body's old and aging
I'll heal you Darlin', heal you
Your soul lights the day
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
When you're so filled with pain
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
And Maybe, Baby it's just me
Look out the window
Past the Pines
Through the rain
Oh skies will open, let sun shine
On your face
When your mind is old and fading
I'll heal you Darlin', heal you
Your soul lights the day
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
When you're so filled with pain
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
And Maybe, Baby it's just me
In a matter of, in a matter of
days, we'll find love
In a matter of, in a matter of
days, we'll find love
And Maybe, Baby that's just love
And Maybe, Baby it's just me
Your soul lights the day
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
When you're so filled with pain
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
And it's gonna get easier on you
And it's gonna get easier on you
And it's gonna get easier on you
Now it's got to get easier on your soul
Soul, soul, soul
Your soul lights the way, lights the way
I'm on my way
Listen here, this will only be
A small portion of your night time
That you'll sacrifice for me
I asked and you were born
And like the wind, you snuck up on me
Got me begging for your storm
52-50 more days
Till I might come back from war
I'm gonna lock you up and love you down
I can't take this anymore
Nights are old, but I am young
Across the sea, writing letters home
Answer me, let me hear your voice
I can't take this anymore
I don't know where you've gone
There's so much more, so much more
So much more you need to know
Take it slow now, smooth running
Live the day cool, smooth running
Show me strength, true loving
Trust me, girl, true loving
Listen here, this might only be
A small portion of your lifetime
It's given right back me
I asked and you were born
Like the snow, you fall upon me
Got me begging for some more
52-50 more days
Till I might come back from war
I'm gonna love you up and then I'll love you down
I'd cross the world just to hear your sound
And I don't know where you've gone
There's so much more, so much more
So much more you need to know
Live the day cool, smooth running
Live your life cool, smooth running
Show me strength, true loving
Trust me, girl, true loving
Reign on love
Reign on love
Reign on love
Reign on love
Reign
Come on down, come on down
Reign on, reign on
Come on down, come on down
Reign on, bring it down on me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on, yeah, bring it down
Come on, come on
Bring it right down [Incomprehensible]
As I sit here right
Talk to me in my dreams
I'm sleeping, come back to me
[Inaudible]
There's a road outside Columbus, Ohio.
Feels like I drove along for years.
This Midwest way of ease it surrounds us.
I can't deny the rhythm here.
And as I pull away from Riverside beside me.
That High Street never looked so good.
I miss my lady even though she often writes me.
She tells me tales of my neighborhood.
Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.
Four hundred miles from where I'm known.
My friends are here.
A couple years I've spent, I found I have a second home.
As I'm blazing down my trail to education.
There's no bliss in ignorance for me.
I stop and stare, a breath of air might slow me down some.
But that's just fine with me.
Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.
Four hundred miles from where I'm known.
My friends are here.
A couple years I've spent, I found I have a second home.
I never traveled far.
Two hundred miles to go.
That boulevard will take me home.
Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.
Four hundred miles from where I'm known.
My friends are here.
A couple years I've spent, I found I have a second home.
Surprise, surprise, I traveled here.
Four hundred miles from where I'm known.
My friends are here.
I look out below me the clouds on top the blue
kids thinking about nothing, cause there's
absolutely nothing to do.
The door ain't wide just open, open to the sky
On top the cage keep hopin', sayin cause on top
the cage just try, on top the cage
Help out your brother to the light at peace is a
helping hand
With help from our mother we shine so bright and
march to the father's land
I said we take the spot and we take it up top and
the key fits in the lock
You come with me on this lifting walk, and you
know you never come back
Because on top the cage is the harmony that bars
and chains never chime
Wherever we go it's not far for me, better befriend
old man time.
I stood on top of this cage one night, all night long
From here the view was proud
I could see all these beautiful clouds
So I told people come out of your cage
Time to break lock forever
Join together march on top hold my hand, say
goodbye to never
You can be my man if you want to hang out here
Just me and my girl on top of this world and we sit
there and we stare
At the clouds, green hills, and the mountaintops,
and the river to the side
It's been a long, long time since I lost myself.
Put my pride down on the table, put my fear on the shelf.
So I bought myself a throne to reside and let myself go.
But I've traveled much too far, where I've gone, I'll never know.
What a long, long time...
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin' in the rain...
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.
My days I've spent relaxin' turned to nights relaxin' too
A thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missing you.
So this time I swear I will loosen my grip.
On past times and bad lines and meaningless trips.
What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin' in the rain,
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.
So, over and over mile signs pass by my side
The more you try to find yourself, the more you tend to hide
Behind these - forest trees - and greens that blind your eyes
To lounge upon that throne I bought,
Confer there with the wise.
What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin' in the rain,
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time,
Long time... yeah.
So here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear.
For who? What can I do? But let them all come through the wall
And though some oppose, many of these things I know,
I'll stay here alone, and lose myself on the riverways of days.
I'm coming home.
What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin' in the rain,
Losing my mind
What a long, long time.
There was a man on the road bout an hour ago
and he was looking for a ride to new mexico
well we was driving by
way too fast to know
well then we got to the place on a high speed chase
there was a girlie in the corner with a plastic face
and then she disappeared without a trace
i say without a trace
well now we're kicking back and we're sipping beers
and there's a man telling stories about his inner fears
we was all choked up and too close to tears
well then we moved on up to some margaritas
and we started making faces at the senoritas
playing drinking games, but they were all too drunk to beat us
well now, my car broke down about an hour ago
we were heading on down to new mexico,
but, well we did not see the gas was low
[chorus]
hey, hey, i said the gas was low
the gas was low
the gas was low
the gas was low
hey, the gas was low. hey.
lalalalalalalalaaaaaaaaa
we got back to the party
we been on the road we're kinda dirty
i seen this girl i said you're mighty purty.
well i said hello, bout an hour ago
we were heading on down to the big grass show,
but hey, we did not see, the gas was low
[chorus]
about an hour, about an hour ago
about an hour, about an hour ago
The way I see it
Things have changed
It's better for me now
And it all began on a summer day
When the rain was pouring down
You sent my way a smile
And I can't forget just how wet you are
And of you
Of you
And on and on
That summer day just took it slow
I remember every sway of your body and everywhere you go
We sat on a corner and I got to know you good
And the afternoon
Yeah, it's for you
Its all for you
But I could've been somebody
But I was just a body, for you
Yeah, I could've been the king of many things
But now I'm not, cause of you
And the things you do
I hear the rhythm of your shoes
What was a dream
Changed quickly
Here I am months later
I'm staring out of this window
Looking for your face
I mean, I know, I know that we met at the place
Oh, but it's got to change
I mean it's got be real
I can't believe that afternoon couldn't be real
But the days go by
And months too
And I'm staring
And the nights go slowly too
But I'm staring
I'm staring for you
Yeah them things you do
Oh, I could've been the king of many things
But now I'm not, cause of you
Yeah, I could've been somebody
But I was just a body for you
I hear the things they do
I hate the rhythm of your shoes
Can it be
That it was only you and me
On a street somewhere
That can never be
I mean I fell in love
The second you caught my eye
And how many time do that happen in your life
I mean, how many times
And I won't forget you
But how could you
I mean, the afternoon in the park
Was something that I'd never do
And here I am
Just looking for you
Out a window
In the city
I'm looking for you
Them things you do
I love the things you do
Oh, I could've been the king of many things
Now I'm not, cause of you
Yeah, I could've been somebody
But I was just a body for you
Ohhhhh, I could've been the king of many things
Of many things, many things
Yeah, I could've been somebody
But I just a body for you
I hear the that thing you do
I hate the rhythm of your shoes
It follow you
I hate the rhythm of your shoes
An easy operator on the side of the road
A million dollar man in a lower-class home
Chopping trees for needs of a spiritual kind
Forever getting low while he tried to be high
He was an early morning eagle flying through from the fire
Barely getting over forget getting by
But it's all the same to Billy Kincade
If he had to do it over he would do it the same
Living in the end
He was living in the end
Polly and her pity wasn't pretty at all
She concentrated fully on the shine of the star
But your pennies, just a pension
She never let go
They always dominated everything that she owned
She was a queen with means, there wasn't nothing to wear,
And Daddy gave her everything she ever gon' need
But now it's all the same for Polly the Vain
If she had to do it over she would do it the same
She was living in the end
Yeah, living in the end
Are you all right darling, all right now?
You'll never be, never be the same.
Are you all right darling, all right now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?
You didn't see it coming
that's the tale of his life
Easy operator laid to rest in the night
He had to take the hit it's always the same
That's the waste you see in killing Billy Kincade [?]
That's the waste you see in killing Billy Kincade [?]
Are you all right darling, all right now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?
Are you all right darling, all right now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?
Are you all right darling, all right now?
I woke today, felt another way,
everything was gonna be fine.
My head rose up then my legs came too,
quarter past nine was the time.
I used to lose floating memories, found myself
wishing I'd remember old times.
But I woke today,
felt another way,
felt free in the sky to fly.
I stepped out the door, didn't know what for,
I saw my lady walking along.
I could have cried out what I wanted to say,
but I am sick of all this terrible charm.
I used to be into apologies, a regular to shame I
was shy.
But I woke today,
felt another way,
felt free in the sky to fly.
Well I'm through the gate, got to my house about
a quarter to eight.
And I made a drink, got about an hour to relax and
just think.
I'm just bored, nothing's ever gonna be the same
anymore.
And with my drink in hand I got up to stand and I
was off to a regular day.
The morning dragged on, I was walking along,
missing pieces fell to the ground.
Apparently, I could not see,
but I saw everything going down.
So I packed my bags and I was on my way,
I feel a little different in a different way.
But like I said when I got out of bed, I was off to a
regular day.
I could not hide, I wore my pride,
it felt good to be on the run.
The air quality was something new to me and I got
along fine with the sun.
And when I rest my heard and I lay down to bed,
I put the pieces down with the blame.
And if all goes well, at the morning bell,
I'll wake feeling free just the same.
Well I'm through the gate, got to my house about
a quarter to eight.
And I made a drink, got about an hour to relax and
just think.
I'm just bored, nothing's ever gonna be the same
anymore.
And with my drink in hand I got up to stand and I
I was riding down the highway when I thought I
Spotted someone in the road
I said, 'You going my way?'
And he turned his head and said, 'Man, I don't know.'
So I asked about his government and he turned his head and then began to laugh
Well I asked him, 'what you running from?'
And he said, 'My man, I'm running from my past.'
And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud
And then we drank a brew
I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through.
I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through.
There's no need to come around unless you're true.
Someone in the road.
Well we kept on driving down that road for about an hour and half.
The way that we were moving left half myself
Reflecting in the past
Tired of endless talking, stopped the car and
Started walking down a path.
Lifted sprits to my heart, Lord knows that anger never lasts.
And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud
And then we drank a brew
I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through.
I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through
There's no need to come around unless you're true.
Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.
So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.
Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.
So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.
It's crazy how we all need this time a little more every way.
It's wild how we stay up nights losing part of the day.
The one time that you're loathing is there for you oh so well.
So pick up that precious someone relax for a delicate spell.
Rising up early the sun barely before me I could have sworn I just went to bed.
I smell the blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair.
I grab my coat, my hat, my jacks... I put my hat on my head and I was off again as she said,
Rising up early the sun barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my head to bed about an hour ago.
Blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair,
I grab my coat again, hat on my head, lit my jack and I was off again she said,
Rising up early that sun rose barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my head to bed.
I've got to, but it was so cold, I've got trouble keeping hold of my lady sleeping next to me.
But I swear today, I'm gonna go off in a delicate way and I'll have so much fun I swear.
No matter what goes wrong, I'll be moving on,
I promise you, jack in my mouth, hat on my head, and I was off again she said,
Relax for a delicate few.
Just me and you.
I swear to you true, I do.
Is it me or does it seem that life just carries on?
Was it him who said that life is just a song?
I don't know what will keep me on this little Earth
I just might use the love that's all in the dirt
But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain't worth it
uh no no
She ain't worth nothin I got
Ah no way
Nah nah
get away to get in
Was it you who said that my life is over?
Baby it was over from the bitter start
did you say that I won't be around downtown tomorrow?
Ah yes I will with a hardened heart
But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain't worth it
no no
She ain't worth nothin I got
Ah no no Ah no way
Na uh
She can have anything she wants
she really doesn't know about the way she taunts
It's tearin me apart,
It's tearin me apart
I was walkin yesterday at night in the park
and I saw a little girl standin on the corner of the world
and I said little girl what ya doin in the world
she looked up at me and I said for what its worth
and I said the winds been blowing hard for oh bout a 1000 years at a time
but its time to stop the hate
I said get away to get up
get away to get up
get away, something to say uh way oh
did you mean something mean
when you said my soul was clean
well I know all the stories that I've been told
are nothin but a product sold
I was walkin last night
I was thinkin kinda funky I was ready to fight
feelin kinda friskey drank a pint of wiskey
never did I know what did it would and kiss me
up cross the mouth I flick down south
my head started spinnin like a whriley mount
and I said hey girl gotta run away
gotta ask something, something gotta say
and I said hey something dont ya know nothin
dont ya see the world that is comin to unfurl
and I said I dont wanna say nothin now
except get away to get up
get away to get up
get away to get up
I know it's been a long, long year.
God forbid you listen to me now.
I may have laid the pressure on good, but since that day
I'll never ask again.
It's funny, it's come right down to this.
I have to steal my time cause you won't give it up for free.
I've been talking to the moon all night, but the stars won't say nothing to me.
And though i feel it's easy for a man to grow up
Much harder for a man to grow out.
You may not appear, but im standing here my God.
I'll never ask you.
Where have you been?
You could have told me just,
Where have you been?
If you know me you know.
I won't ask why.
They always told me you'd be right on my time.
We're coming around.
I know you're kind of busy right now.
Been a day, but i haven't heard your call.
I climbed a mountain just to get a better view of you.
But I'll never ask again.
It's crazy that we just can't feel the time
And lay down for awhile.
And let life catch your eye.
I've been relaxing with the Wind all day.
But the Sky won't open up for me.
And though i feel it's easy for a man to stand tall.
Much harder for a man to simmer down.
You may not appear, but im standing here my god.
I'll never ask you.
Where have you been?
You could have told me just,
Where have you been?
If you know me you know.
I won't ask why.
They always told me you'd be right on my time.
If you give me just a minute of your day,
I see now why you choose to stay away.
Up here life seems more like living,
And living mirrors love.
And love just leaves me breathless.
On we go.
Where have you been?
You could have told me just,
Where have you been?
If you know me you know.
I won't ask why.
They always told me you'd be right on my time.
We're coming around.
You act like you can't see me.
You act like you don't know me.
I just wish you would show me
There are few things pure in this world anymore,
and home is one of the few.
We'd have a drink outside,
maybe run and hide if we saw a couple men in blue.
But to me it's so damn easy to see
that you people are the people at home.
Well I've. been away but now I'm back today,
and there aint a place I'd rather go.
I feel home,
when I see the faces that remember my own.
I feel home,
when I'm chillin outside with the people I know.
I feel home,
and that's just what I feel.
Home to me is reality,
and all I need is something real.
Feelin alright, headin out tonight,
maybe off to a dark driveway.
I say now some feel bored,
and some are lookin for more.
Well, we all just decide to stay.
We got nothin to do,
and I look at you
I see something that I know and love.
and with the crack of a smile we all stay a while
we know from home there aint nothing above.
Well in the end we can all call a friend
well that's something I know as true.
And then a thousand years and a thousand tears
I'll come back to my original crew
cuz to me throughout eternity
there's somewhere where you're welcome to go
I said it's something free that means a lot to me
when I'm with my friends I feel home.
I feel home,
when I see the faces that remember my own
I feel home,
when I'm chillin outside with the people I know.
I feel home,
and that's just what I feel.
because home to me is reality,
and all I need is something real
Home to me is reality,
and all I need is something real
In the morning wake me up
And tell me everything
So I can understand your world
And you can understand my dream
Yeah I could be anywhere
And you could be there with me
But I just want to be a ghost
And see everything
I don't want it to be the way they want it
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet put your worry down
And everyone of you all around
Come on ya'll let's take this town
Let's take this town
It's better that we keep this close
Keep you close to me
Walking under every sky
Over every sea
You can be my modern girl
And I can be the one you found
If we're taking on the world today
I know we got to leave this town
I don't want it to be the way they want it
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet put your worry down
And everyone of you all around
Come on ya'll let's take this town
Let's take this town
Come on ya'll let's take this town
Come on ya'll let's take it down
On our own let's get away
Nothing more left here to see
Come on love make it perfect
More and more I will believe
Like a child I must believe
Come on ya'll make it perfect
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet put your worry down
And everyone of you all around
Come on ya'll let's take it
Everyone of you in this crowd
Come on ya'll let's take this town
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let's take this town
This town, this city, this crowd
We're taking on the world today
Come on put them up, and every one of you all around
We can be anyway, take this town
Come on put them up, we're taking on the world today
It's okay if you lock yourself up
at the end of the day
And it's alright if you're gonna
let us fade to nothing
You worked harder for nothing at all
Are you alright?
She asked me deep after dinner last night
Hold on and you've got to remember
Hold on and you've got to be strong
Hold on and you've got to remember
You've got to come back and you've got to be strong
Do you even hear me?
How far have you strayed from home?
Do you feel me or is it all gone?
Pick your pleasure; be sure that it's what you want
Are you alright?
She asked me deep after dinner last night
Hold on and you've got to remember
Hold on and you've got to be strong
Hold on and you've got to remember
You've got to come back and you've got to be strong
Hold on I know you remember
Right now, here you belong
Hold on man, you've got to be strong
Darling it won't be long
Sit with me, Darling it won't take long
But just believe in me
I'd never do you wrong
I was a million miles away just to live in my head
But I'm never going back to that place again
Now I'm all here with you
Hold on and you've got to remember
Hold on and you've got to be strong
Hold on and you've got to remember
You've got to come back and you've got to be strong
Hold on I know you remember
Hold on, with me you belong
Hold on man, it's here you belong
With me you belong
I'm not quite sure how I got here.
A minute passed and I'm on my feet.
I never knew life could taste so good.
I need a little minute, just a moment to breathe.
No matter where I go, no matter who I see
Well I'm reminded of my earlier days.
No matter where I roll, no matter what I know
Well I'm reminded of my earlier ways.
But now I keep asking myself.
Wouldn't it be the best damn day if we all took time to breathe?
Just one stolen paragraph in the book's written history.
Don't you sometimes wonder why people are afraid to smile?
Don't look down we're gonna come around and it always come to
back, crack of time eventually.
Just ascend with me.
I'm not quite sure when I woke up.
The night flew by as I lay asleep.
Who ever knew that life could feel so good?
I need another minute.
Just a moment to breathe.
No matter where I go, no matter who I see
Well I'm reminded of my earlier days.
No matter what I know, no matter where I roll
Well I'm reminded of my earlier ways.
But now I keep asking myself.
Wouldn't it be the best damn day if we all took time to breathe?
Just one stolen paragraph in the book's written history.
Don't you sometimes wonder why people are afraid to smile?
Don't look down we're gonna come around and it always come to back,
crack of time eventually.
Wouldn't it be the best damn day?
Wouldn't it be a wonderful day?
Wouldn't it be a glorious day?
If we all took time to smile, made just a minute for you and me.
Peter sat on a mountain top.
northern wind blows through his hair all day long.
Peter never took no time for him to stop.
just stood right there and he stared.
singing, oh.
he don't need us anymore, cause his life is just too good.
he'll be living everyday and loving like we could.
and that's Peter's song.
have you ever known a boy, lonely as could be?
a lifetime away he was a child of the free.
so here he stand alone crying at the sea.
it listens, and moves, and holds him.
singing, oh.
he don't need us anymore, cause life is just too good.
he'll be living everyday, and loving like we could.
and that's Peter's song.
late one day on the mountaintop Peter swept down the side.
he'd been waiting all his life for one more chance to ride.
but the Sun said, "Son, don't you come around up
here anymore."
so Peter topped on his hat and head to the west shore.
singing Ladanday.
Have you ever known a boy lonely as can be?
lifetimes away we were children of the sea.
and if the Sun and Moon come through
freedom is a giude.
hoping that one day we will all try.
She takes it deep to the heart right from the start she talks softly over a glass of wine.
Now and again she's more than a friend, why don't you just throw me that line.
It would be great if she'd dedicate just a minute from her precious time.
I'll give it a while, but that's not my style, now how is that a crime?
Everyone says that I'm wild.
Pardon my French but I still know my child.
And that was the day I told her I needed some time.
Well I began walking when she was still talking I'm looking for that exit sign.
Pardon my face but I'm leaving no trace cause I really haven't got the time.
Well I began thinking and my heart is just sinking and I'm looking for that place to go.
Isn't it sad that she'll treat you so bad, but you never really let her know.
And everyone says that she's crying.
But I can't forget all the time I spent trying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some time.
I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?
Well I've been through these phases, I've walked through these mazes.
I'm sick and I'm little tired.
It sure isn't fair but I'm not aware of the patience that's required.
If I could have kissed her every time that I missed her I wouldn't be out the door
But now and again, I sure need a friend now isn't that what she's for?
And everyone says that I'm lying,
But I can't forget all the time she spent crying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some time.
I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Baby take it slow.
It's my life.
My life.
Why can't we take it slow?
On the black rock is where i spend my time
writing a memory or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where i like to go
After a long night comin home from our show
thats where i write my song all day long
the black rock
Sometimes, i just look around
taking the feeling coming out from the ground
thats just something i do sometimes
and then i just come out the door
taking the wind coming off of the shore
and thats just what im doing tonight
On the black rock is where i spend my time
writing a memory or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where i like to go
After a long night comin home from the show
thats where i write my song all day long
the black rock
When you are on your own
not speaking out is like fighting alone
and that is the worst damn way to fight
and when you are scared no more
you reach your hand out and just open the door
and thats just what I'm doing tonight
On the black rock is where i spend my time
writing a memory or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where i like to go
After a long night comin home from MY show
thats where i write my song all day long
Well there was a time when life caught you by surprise.
What you see going by is a shadow.
You've got to live in front of your eyes.
In a typical way we stray, checking back with the past.
In a typical day we'll stay to see what's gonna last.
But I didn't mind at all.
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
Well there was a place we'd chase through the woods in my juvenile days.
What a typical waste of space, what a wonderful place to stay.
But I could have cried but I just left my soul to fly.
And I could have chilled at will, but I didn't know how to die.
But I didn't mind at all.
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
No, I've been woken, and I have been broken.
But this time it's gonna change
For,
I've been lazy, and I been crazy.
Has been stolen,
But from,
From this day on I swear to you true.
From this day on I swear to you.
Well there was a time when I could have flown out of the room.
Yet I didn't care just where I was going after noon.
Though I didn't know and I chose to live my life so fair.
But I could have died, but I chose to live here instead
But I didn't mind at all.
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
I've been woken, and I have been broken
But this time its gonna change
For, I've been lazy and I have been crazy
But this time it's not hazy at all
Cause I've been,
I've been chose my heart has been stolen
But from,
From this day on, I swear to you true.
From this day on, I swear to you true.
I say now way back when you and all your friends
Had some good times we should do this again we'd say
Hey, hey, hey we should do this again, we'd say.
But in the mean meanwhile, I'll just walk the mile.
I won't look back won't forget your smile
Oh no, hey hey hey we should do this again, we'd say.
But I swear to you true.
From this day on I swear to you true I swear I do I.
I won't give you back.
Won't give you back.
Won't give you back.
Can't give you back.
I won't give you back my baby.
Said I can't give you back.
Said I won't give you back.
I swear to you true.
From this day on I swear to you true.
I swear.
I do, I.
God, I do.
My baby, I swear to you true.
There was time now it's far away
I didn't know you, but I knew your name
We would talk, I got nothing to say
But hear me now
You're like an angel that is just for me
Bless your heart, let your mind go free
And it's too loud on the Earth today
So let's go home and lay down
Lay down and rest here in my arms
Lay down the universe is ours
Catch a teardrop, bleed the heart
Masquerade in a world apart
From a mass that got more to lose I'm making a run
So blessed angel that is just for me
Catch the dream, there's a lot to see
But it's too loud on the Earth today
So let's go home and lay it down
Lay down and rest here in my arms
Lay down the universe is ours
I never seen a body move the way you do
Rocking steady and you know it too
You had to come down from Heaven above and tease the world
So listen good, cause I'm telling it straight
I don't got no more time to waste
I got a trip planned past the Sun
Taking you home
To lay down and rest here in my arms
Lay down the universe is ours
I bought a planet for you
I planned it for you, my dear
There's no one above you
I purchased a room with a view
And we can fly away to outer space
We'll be alone just us two
And you know it's all for you
All for you
Who's that with his arm around you?
He making eyes at you that way
He looks in love
He looks familiar
Damn it's me
Never thought I'd see that day
It's like I came to sleep and there was darkness
Well I'm holding the daylight by your voice
Not that I have any choice
Something coming over me
I know it's you
Someone that I used to be
But he is through
Know that it's forever and it's overdue
Something coming over me
I know it's you
And now we're talking about our future
Oh and our futures wide open
Cause your love is the best place I've ever been
It was you to the rescue
And I mention that I'd never felt like this before
I'm powerless to fight it anymore
Something coming over me
I know it's you
Someone that I used to be
But he is through
Know that it's forever and it's overdue
Something coming over me
I know it's you
Used to watch this game from the sidelines
Now its time to get on in and play
You've been waiting there for me for my whole life
Now it's all you
Now it's all you
Something coming over me
I know it's you
Someone that I used to be
But he is through
Know that it's forever and it's overdue
Something coming over me
I know it's you
I know
I know it's you baby
Baby, don't you wait that long
You told me underneath our song
But there's something 'bout the way you move
Yeah, it gets to me like a melody
And I don't wanna wait all night
'Cause soon it's gonna pass me by
I only wanna make you smile
Let me get to you like I always do
And show me how you really feel
Make it all go and disappear
We can dance into the night
Come together and we'll make it right
Come together and we'll make it
We got more than a lifetime
To make it all feel right
So don't apologize
You gotta be wrong sometimes
We got more than a lifetime
To live inside these lines, we were right all along
You gotta be wrong
You gotta be wrong sometimes
Every little thing you say
Got me lifted and I'm on my way
Baby, come with me, you don't have to stay
Yeah, follow me like a memory
And show me how you really feel
Make it all go and disappear
We can dance into the night
Come together and we'll make this right
Come together and we'll make it right
We got more than a lifetime
To make it all feel right
So don't apologize
You gotta be wrong sometimes
We got more than a lifetime
To live inside these lines, we were right all along
You gotta be wrong
You gotta be wrong sometimes
Maybe the world will let us stay
Give us back what it took away
Or maybe I'm just high, so high
Somewhere out there in between
Being wrong and being clean
I see it all inside your eyes
We got more than a lifetime
To lose our minds, I'm ready to fall
We gotta be wrong
You move like a melody
Everything they've got, you've seen
And that's why you keep coming back to me
For so long, we got to get wrong
You move like a melody
Everything they've got, you've seen
And that's why you keep holding on to me
For so long, we gotta be wrong sometimes
We got more than a lifetime
To make it all feel right
So don't apologize
You gotta be wrong sometimes
We got more than a lifetime
To live inside these lines, we were right all along
You gotta be wrong
iLight of the candle bright ones soul one shined
Woke up new one morning feeling better than ever, fine
My chest no hurt no more something feel better
What's all the hate for? Now something feel better
To Zion Goes I (4x)
I'll walk through the valley and I'll follow the stars
I feel it's so close now, it can't be that far
In time some grow lonely, but time isn't done
It's time to go home now, you're not on the run
To Zion Goes I (8x)
One step forward and I crossed the line again
One step forward and I crossed the line again
I'm standing on the edge of a civilization and no one's around
I'm standing on the edge of a civilization and no one's around, and I ain't heard a sound
The path is snowed over the path lies ahead
In time we'll be down there, where nothing is said
There's no need to fear love, don't let love hide
We'll conquer the mountains, lay down by the riverside
From night til dawn, you soldiered on, did ya?
Each day is a gift
But you lead us strong and kept us on, did ya?
Like each day is a gift
I never thought that I'd be here with you
Saying all these words that I have to
After all is said and all is done
I never meant to ever hurt no one
And nothing has to change
You and I are strange
Passing in the night between the
darkness and the rain
At the crack of dawn, you grabbed my arm did ya?
Each day was a gift
You told me slow
Before I move on you must remember
Each day is a gift
I never understood it was for you
Could never be for me
This will have to do
Yet after all you've said and all you've done
I know you never meant to hurt no one
And nothing has to change
You and I are strange
Passing in the night between the
darkness and the rain
Nothing has to change
You and I can be strange
Passing in the days between the
morning and the rain
I can see you now, it's like you're never gone
From dusk til dawn, you soldiered on
Like each day was a gift
Oh you lead us strong but you couldn't hold on
And that's fine cause each day was a gift
I don't know when I'll be home
So save a place for me til I get there
I don't know when I'll be home
I had a dream about you
It was December in the afternoon
You're something pretty and cool
Signing records as you're passing through
You saw everyone as an angel
But what about the thieves?
Who don't know what do
And don't know who to be
You saw everyone as an angel
But what about the thief?
Who took away from you
He took away from you
If you just kept walking on your way
If you just kept walking on your way
If you just kept walking on, walking on, walking on your way
Behind the archway lies a thief
Awaiting double fantasy
He's something evil underneath
Outside Dakota died the symphony
I think everyone has a devil waiting in the wings
When you don't know what to do
And you don't know who to be
You saw everyone as an angel
But what about the thief?
Who took away from you
Took away from you
If you just kept walking on your way
If you just kept walking on your way
If you just kept walking on, walking on, walking on your way
Maybe this is just a nightmare
And I will wake up
We all will wake up
Maybe this is just a nightmare
December afternoon they took away from you
If you just kept walking on your way
If you just kept walking on your way
If you just kept walking on, walking on, walking on your way
Just walking on your way
Blue light rain, whoa unbroken chain,
Looking for familiar faces in an empty window pane.
Listening for the secret, searching for the sound
But I could only hear the preacher and the baying of his
hounds.
Willow sky, whoa, I walk and wonder why,
They say love your brother, but you will catch it when
you try.
Roll you down the line boy, drop you for a loss,
Ride you out on a cold railroad and nail you to a cross.
November and more, as I wait for the score,
They're telling me forgiveness is the key to every door.
A slow winder day a night like forever,
Sink like a stone, float like a feather.
(instrumental)
Lilac rain, unbroken chain, Song of the sawhet owl.
Out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane, Listening to
the winds howl
Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls, Unbroken chain of
shy and sea.
Unbroken chain of the western wind, Unbroken chain of you
Caught a train in a dash
Running hard from my past
Set to ride this here rail till the end
Along the way met a queen
Now, I'm her king
And we reign our kingdom from a mountaintop
Where, baby, we can be alone
Almond eyes, royal skin
This one could do me in
An I'll live this here life till the end
We will win, we will win, we're gonna win this here race
Baby, we can be alone
My baby, we can be alone
Some day I'll give it all back
The time you gave
Pick it up, don't put it down
Do you recognize the feeling that I'm passing around?
Like you're all lit up, feet on the floor
Everywhere you go, feel like you've been there before
It's almost easy to believe this is how it could be
Just too easy to see it could happen to me
What a feeling when it takes control of you
Everything you need is back tenfold
Like a feeling do, it comes and goes then it's gone, oh no
Then the rain came knocked me sideways
Hope the wind will break my fall
I know we all deserve a couple scars
It's just getting old
When the rain just knocked me sideways
I don't know what I don't know
I know we all deserve a couple scars
It's just getting old, damn, it's getting old
I'm all locked up, I mean I did it again
Couldn't recognize the feeling that you tried to fit in
So I might kick back, I think I'm taking my time
Underneath the sun, without a cloud in the sky
It's almost easy, it's got too easy
To see it could happen to me
What a feeling when it takes control of you
Everything you need is back tenfold
But like a feeling do, it comes and goes then it's gone, oh no
Then the rain came knocked me sideways
Hope the wind will break my fall
I know we all deserve a couple scars
It's just getting old
When the rain just falls on Sunday
I don't know what I don't know
Spend my days looking down a highway
It's just getting old, damn, it's getting old
You told me you'd break my heart
Sounds like something you say
When you knew it from the start
And it didn't matter anyway
You told me you'd break my heart
I didn't believe you then
So why would I hear you now?
You're undecided
I know the rain may knock you sideways
Hope the wind will break your fall
I know we all deserve a few scars
Damn, it's getting old
When the rain just falls on Sunday
I don't know what I don't know
Spend my life looking down a highway
Now it's getting old
When the rain just knocked you sideways
I've been lost since I don't know
I know we all deserve a couple scars
It's just getting old, oh, how it gets old
Are you low? Are you low?
Take it slow
Tried to live high, ended up so low
Can't believe this is real, something's gotta change
Got live my life but I love to be strange
Don't wanna be wrapped up in a typical package
Ran away but couldn't find my way back
Now I'm low, I feel low
Stuck in between, it's hard to explain
Why every new beginning feels exactly the same
And so I drink, drink, still I am famished
Wanna go the distance but never quite finish
Now I'm low, I feel low
Take it slow
Try to live high and you end up low
Are you waiting while the sun is fading?
Why you waiting?
You got to slow it down and regain control
So here I reside in the middle of pride
In the middle of night I lost my ride
And in a blink, blink everyone vanished
I know your vision understands my condition
Now I'm low, are you low?
Take it slow
Tried to live high but I lost control
And now I'm low, I feel low
Take it slow
Got to slow it down and regain control
Pain might take you away
From where you wanted to be
I'm drawing the line somewhere down below
And then I'm gonna rise up
Make my way back into the line up
Oh, must let it go
If the one-drop undertow tells you so
Are you low?
(Or are you waiting?)
Are you low?
(While the sun is fading)
Down below
(Why are you waiting?)
You know you can't live high
If you can't live low
Are you low?
(Or are you waiting?)
Are you low?
(While the sun is fading)
Take me slow
(Why are you waiting?)
I know you wanna be high
But you must be low
Are you low?
(Or are you waiting?)
Are you low?
(While the sun is fading)
(Why are you waiting?)
If you wanna live high
i'm picking up these broken pieces again
i'm feeling like i'm lost and all i do is find you there
we've been here before
i'm never coming back again, not again
tomorrow is too soon for you my dear
i pushed you oh so far away when all i do is want you near
well i've been here before
not coming back again
and i can't sleep
because pretenders never sleep with a smile
it's hard enough to wake up after awhile
and even though i say i'm feeling fine
i'm locked up, loaded down, short a try
have i told you lately that i love you
have i told you that i hold nothing there above you
we've been around here before
we're never coming back again, not again
i love the way you walk
the way that you talk
the way you live
the way that you give me everything you promised you would
if i could, i'd be here
i can't
well i can't sleep
because pretenders never sleep with a smile
it's hard enough to wake up after awhile
and even though i say i'm feeling fine
i'm locked up, loaded down, short a try
i wish to god that i been there for you my dear
there's so much pushing me all around, i'd love to hold you near
and i don't expect you to stay
and i'm never gonna ask you why
because i'm locked up, loaded down, short a try
i'm locked up, loaded down
and i'm short a try
Different version of song performed by OAR at Northberg
I'm locked up and I'm down
Locked away
It's been a thousand times since I seen you come my way
I've been here before but I wont' be back again, back again.
The table shattered glass around my face
I miss all those old times
What a wonderful old place
I've been here before but I won't be back again, back again
And pretenders never sleep with a smile
It's hard enough to wake up after a while.
And even though I say I'm feeling fine.
I'm locked up loaded down and short a try.
We find ourselves at the same crossroads
I've been in this place before
And I don't' want anyone to know
That I'm on my way home but I won't be back again, back again
The next time that I see you will be my little end.
I'm layin on the ground and I've lost my breath again
This time I wont' be back
I won't be back again, back again.
Cause pretenders never sleep with a smile.
It's hard enough to wake up after a while
And even though I say I'm feeling fine
I'm locked up loaded down and short a try.
And pretenders never sleep with a smile
It's hard enough to wake up after a while
And even though I say I'm feeling fine
I'm locked up loaded down and short a try.
I'm locked up loaded down and short a try
I'm locked up loaded down and short a try
I'm locked up loaded down and short a try
i don't know nothing, i don't know a thing
but if i just keep on listening, together we'll sing
i've been walking for about a thousand years
and my feet are tired of crying all those painful tears
and my sight is going blind and my soul is way down low
but i haven't seen a thing, so that's all i can know
i said cause i don't know nothing, i don't know a thing
but if we just keep on listening, together we'll sing
i've been drinking to drown away my tears
and i'm sick of all the violence and i'm sick of all the fears
but i'm moving down the road, true i'm moving kind of slow
but i haven't heard a thing, so that's all i can know
said cause i don't know nothing, ya'll don't know a thing
but if we just keep on listening, together we'll sing
i don't think that it's going that good today
i can't take my eyes off of the rain
and everybody's running away
well i don't think that it's going that good today
can't take my eyes off of the rain
and everybody's running away
i ran away to the top of the world today
i've been crying and losing lots of sleep
cause the roads are getting longer
winter snows come kinda deep
but i still will move along
and i still can feel the sun
and i see or hear a thing
and i'll break into a run
said cause i don't know nothing, ya'll don't know a thing
but if we just keep on listening, together we'll sing
i don't think that it's going that good today
i can't take my eyes off of the rain
and everybody's going insane
well i don't think that it's going that good today
i can't take my eyes off of the rain
everybody's running away
i ran away to the top of the world today
i ran away to the top of the world today
It's 3 a.m. and I wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and I want to go to bed
I know a lady way down in my country
She was so pretty that my eyes threw disguises at me
Now we will sit and we'll wonder about our future
But now I'm thinking that today sounds fine to me
Well I been working five days full time
Ain't got no money, but everything is going fine
Well, I been tired in my head
Well, I been tired in my head
It's 3 a.m. and I wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and I want to go to bed
I know a lady whose eyes fly right through me
She will sit and stare directly at me
And that laugh will take me to my future
Throughout my past there is nothing left for me
Well, I've been working five days full time
Ain't got no money but everything is going fine
Well, I been tired in my head
Said, I been tired in my head
It's 3 a.m. and I wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and I want to go to bed
I feel my lady late night she comes to me
Invades my mind reminds me of where we should be
So we just sit and we dream about our future
Throughout my past there is nothing left for me
But I've been thinking five days full time
Ain't got no money, but everything is going fine
But I've been tired in my head
Well, I am tired in my head
It's 3 a.m. and I wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and I want to go to bed
My lady won't leave my head
I just want to rest my head to bed
She won't let me go
Down the road there was a man walking, walking
Knapsack round his back radio talking, talking
And his blue suede shoes are covered in mud, but it no matter cause the boys on the run
He's the wanderer looking for his long lost home
He's only got one place to go
He's wandering and wondering when to go home
He's not alone, not alone, not alone
Feet been walking for a thousand years, trying to drive away those fears, but no
Well then he picked up and then he went down south
Dad said nothing and mom shut her mouth
Well, he never thought too much, just thought he could heal with his touch
For those who need help and more love
So when love came around I heard the sound
Wanderers wandering all round the town
But no, they go
He's the wanderer looking for his long lost home
He's only got one place to go
He's wandering and wondering when to go home
He's not alone, not alone, not alone
Hey, he's the wanderer looking for his long lost home
He's only got one fine place to go
He's wandering wondering when to go home
He's not alone, not alone, not alone
We wan wan wandered along, we grabbed our friends and we move along
We won won won the war, ya grabbed our guns and ya ran for the door
[this song has only been performed live]
well patiently you slipped away from me
i want that day back, i want that day back
but so patiently i went home that night
and i sat down to write
but i couldn't think of anything to write that night
i said but patiently you just went away
oh god i want you back
oh god i miss you my friend
oh so patiently
oh so patiently you slipped away that day
i never got the chance to say you're my boy
patiently i never got to say
i miss those times, oh i do
patiently you went away that night
and i just sat and sighed
oh god i miss you my friend
oh so patiently
all this silence turns to patience
and this patience has returned to silence
all this silence has turned to patience
oh so patiently
you touched us, you left us with silence
when you were here, there never was silence
you slipped away that day into silence
but i can't for the life of me figure out why
that day fell too silence
when you were with us
there wasn't a moment of silence
and this silence has turned to patience
and this patience has returned to silence
but oh so patiently you slipped away from me
oh god i want you back
oh god i miss you my friend
I'm looking for a stray dog to follow me home
I'm stepping off the A train ready to roam
Smoking underneath a cold rain before moving on
I'm looking for a stray dog to follow me home
Follow me home
Hoping for daylight to follow me
If you're lost in the dark get to where you can see
There is somewhere we're supposed to be
And you know
In a matter of time you set yourself free
I'm pulling out my pockets
Got a dollar or two
Changing my path home a dog on the loose
So where do I go?
When they know all about you
Here's your chance to kiss them all goodbye
Hoping for daylight to follow me
If your lost in the dark get to where you can see
There is somewhere we're supposed to be
And you know
In a matter of time you set yourself free
There is something you need to know
Charge the wall
Tear down the hull
Make a point to have a point of view
It doesn't matter what you say
And no, I can't come out to play
Because I've got something else to do
Hoping for daylight to follow me
If your lost in the dark get to where you can see
There is somewhere we're supposed to be
And you know
Love Was Never Enough Throughout Time, Yet Some Give It Up
Well, You Kept Me Standing Alone
If Only I Could Have One Dance I Would Move On My Own
In Tattered Daydreams That Slip Through the Night
I'm Prince, King, Warrior, and I'm Doing Things Right
But Every Daydream Leaves Me Awake All the Night
If I Was a Bird, Spread My Wings, and Take Off and Fly
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I Had the Swirl and Ache From Sprays of Honeysuckle
That When They're Gathered Break Will Dew On the Knuckle
I Had Small Sweets But Those Seemed Small When I Was Young
The Petal of the Rose Was Strung
Yeah, Na-na Na-na
So in This Dream I Walk With My Head Held High
Cause Here I'll Live Forever and Never Die
I See My Soul Straight Ahead With His Eyes Locked On Mine
If I Should Wake Right Now, I'd Rather Be Blind
And in These Dreams With Love, Together We'd Stand
I'm Slipping, Falling to Earthward and I Can't Reach Your Hand
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I Had the Swirl and Ache From Sprays of Honeysuckle
That When They're Gathered Break Will Dew On the Knuckle
I Had Small Sweets But Those Seemed Small When I Was Young
The Petal of the Rose Was Strung
Yeah, Na-na Na-na
My Eyes Open Wide and I've Lost Myself
I'm Laying Here in My Bed, There's Nobody Else
Surrounded By Questions, Hate, and Blood Soaked War
I Clasp My Hands Together and Pray, Ask What It's All For
It's Easy For Me to Slip Away and Live On the Air
If We'd All Just Let Love Live We Could All Meet There
But Time Has Its Way of Saying It's Time to Move On
So Off to My Kingdom I Go Where I Feel At Home
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I Had the Swirl and Ache From Sprays of Honeysuckle
That When They're Gathered Break Will Dew On the Knuckle
I Had Small Sweets But Those Seemed Small When I Was Young
The Petal of the Rose Was Strung
A patterned sunrise swept along away the sunrise.
And over these underpasses a towering mountain does rise.
But don't cross the river, not over there.
There will be a mystery revealed and I bet you dare.
And if I am to seek this place y'all can see
Whose Chariot to follow so I can be free?
At night the stars cry.
I gaze upon a lake of backyard.
And under these overpasses a towering mountain does lie.
But don't cross the river, not over there.
There will be a mystery revealed that we're meant to share.
So if I am to seek this place y'all can see
Whose Chariot to follow so I can be free?
Oh no, here we are again.
Oh no, here we are again.
My mamma told me,
"Don't go cross that river."
"Because you might not make it back.
The beast gonna eat your heart."
She said, "Don't go out there.
And stay upon your track."
"This money has torn my family apart and I cannot buy it back."
So of course I built my boat, and I was half upon my way.
And when I got to the other side the water came rushing down.
Washed me away.
Whose Chariot...
Freedom...
Whose Chariot?
Take me home.
Take me home.
Oh no, said I'm out that door again.
I left my house, my money, and my dearest friend.
I'm not going back, Jack, across the river.
Got a little bit of business that I'm doing today.
You didn't fell me, you can't really see no good.
I made my life out of a stack of wood.
I've been moving cross the river today.
But whose chariot take me home?
Whose Chariot?
Take me home.
Hallelujah.
I'm coming home.
Who Chariot gotta will you take me?
Who Chariot will you will you take me?
Who Chariot will you will you take me?
Who Chariot would you pick me up and take me?
Who Chariot gotta will you take me?
Who Chariot just pick me up and take me.
Who Chariot come and get me.
Whose Chariot take me home?
Oh my God, tell me this won't last forever
Tell me that I'm not alone
Tell me this will come together now
Packed my thing up just the other day
Said my goodbyes to all
these things I've saved
Out in the driveway, we
laugh under the moon
Among my friends for now, but
I'll be leaving soon
Many days from now, I'm sure
I'll be back among your graces
And with you I won't pretend
No, not at all
Crack the morning
Up and running quick
No sleep again last night but
that's the way it is
Out in the open under broken skies
I feel every footstep
I see everybody's eyes
Oh and this is summer in another world
Far from the driveway and my baby girl
Soon comes the winter
With it quiet nights
Darker days and darker fights
But many days from now, I'm sure
I'll be back among your faces
And with you I won't pretend
No, not at all
Oh the fever is burning
Over at midnight but never like this
Hot under their fire
The stars are all falling
but never like this
I hope you never see this
Wait, wait for my love
Don't forget me, never let me go
If you wait, wait for my love
I'll remember, never let you go
Until I'm fine, fine, fine
Until I'm fine, fine, fine
To be back in my room
I have the same dream every night
Just me among my things
No one else is there
There's no one left to fight
Just me among my things
Many nights from now, I know
I'll be back among your graces
Until then I'll just pretend
That I'm not cold
Oh my God, tell me this won't last forever
Tell me that I'm not alone
Tell me this will come together
Oh my God, you know
Wait, wait for my love
Don't forget me, never let me down
And just wait, wait for my love
I'll remember, every one of you
Just wait, wait for my love
Until I'm fine, fine, fine
Until I'm fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine
Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pits
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the all-mighty
We forward in this generation, triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they killed our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say its just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Oh, have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Oh, some say its just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Wont you help to sing
Another song of freedom man
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
These songs of freedom
These songs of freedom
set out on the voyage of the conquering fools
looking for the gold and the modern day jewels
it come to pass what was stuck in my head
if i didn't quit on looking then i'm probably dead
i hit the road and i rolled up north
looking for the origin, the place of my birth
i didn't notice when i ran a red sign
hoping that everything would really be fine
uh huh huh
people come and people go
but they never know what is going on
so they gotta try to be what they wanna be
what the hell is happening to me
i hit the road and i rolled up north
looking for the origin, the place of my birth
i didn't notice when i ran a red sign
hoping that everything would really be fine
i set out about an hour ago
looking for some gold, said hey oh
then i went down looking for the big
the big brass show
so i went and then he started to go
walking down the same old, same old road
thinking to myself, this is quite a struggle
what can i gotta do tomorrow
gonna find that gold
and conquer me some fools
hey hey, hey oh
conquering fools
conquering fools
conquer some fools
There's an emptiness between us
Been filling up for days
It's heavy on my mind
Fighting all the time
We'll never find our way
You swore you would remember
What a shame you had to lie
Now this battle that you're in
Is underneath your skin
And the fight is in your eyes
But one day you'll fall down
And there won't be anyone
To pick you up again
One day you'll fall down
And there won't be anyone
You know this ain't pretend now
I'd fix it if I could
So pack up all your things
Drop off all your rings
Things have changed for good
And you swore you would protect me
And you swore you would not lie
Now the battle that we're in
Is in between locked doors
And the fight is in our eyes
But one day you'll fall down
And there won't be anyone
To pick you up again
One day you'll fall down
And there won't be anyone
All these lonely days
Lead to lonely nights
And alone at night I sleep
Trapped inside what became my life
And it's all because of me
And one day you'll fall down
And there won't be anyone
To pick you up again
One day you'll fall down
And there won't be anyone anywhere
Now one day you'll fall down
And there won't be anyone
To pick you up again
One day you'll fall down
And there won't be anyone
And one day you'll fall down
And there won't be anyone
To pick you up again
One day you'll fall down
And there won't be anyone
To pick you up again
It's a tragedy in waiting
And there's something on my mind
It's hard enough for me to carry on
Well it's a tragedy in waiting
And there's something on my mind
It's hard enough for me to carry on
Well call me pleasure if you like
But believe me when I say
I will learn to change it all
It's not like I'm asking for the sky to open up
I don't believe that's possible just yet
Well it's a tragedy in waiting
And there's something on my mind
It's hard enough for me to carry on
Have you ever left your suitcase
Open long after you land
Cause you're scared to find a way
To love them close
A destiny may wait and there's present in hand
But they forgot to tell me how to end this show
Could it be that I'm the one
Who holds my hand behind my back
Well I know that this is possible by now
But destiny may take me so far from where I am
But it's hard enough for me to hold it down
You want me so badly to give right into you
But I'm afraid that cannot be the case today
You dream of land and marriage, just me and you
Oh my mind won't you leave me be
Won't you just leave me for me
Love is the only way out of this
It's the only way i can get back into it
Be an afternoon or more
Beyond the breaking of the day
There is always something waiting there for me
I've asked again and then again
Just to glimpse into my day
But someone's trying to make it hard on me
Could it be that I'm the one
Who tied my hand behind my back
Well I know that this is possible right now
It's a tragedy in waiting
When there's something plagueing the mind
And it's hard enough for love to hold me down
Well, I don't believe it
Well, I can't believe it
Well, I don't believe it
I'll never believe it
No, so I'm gone
You want me so badly to give right into you
Well I'm afraid that cannot be the case today
So you dream of land and marriage, just me and you
Oh my mind won't you just leave me be
Won't you just leave me for me
Ohh myyyy
20 throw down in my best bridge
And the man to my left has folded down
Well johnny doubled up with a royal flush
I had three jacks and a pair of nines
My mind is turning - just two shots more
There's not much left to play
Well then dude walks in, black hat on top
What am i, if i'm lucky
Wasn't a county cop
Cause i'm just runnin out of time
Who's up for game two
What to do
My wallet's gettin thin
And i just lost my watch last night
Well i gotta problem
Just one answer
Gotta throw it all down
And kiss it goodbye
Yeah!
That was a crazy game of poker
(that was a crazy game of poker)
I lost it all
(i lost it all)
But someday i'll be back again
And i, never to fold.
(never to fold)
Who's up for game three
I can barely see the burbon drowning next to me
And i just lost it all
Well there's a man sittin next to me
Red, was smiling
Cause its funny
I don't have no money tonight
Yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
That was a crazy game of poker
(that was a crazy game of poker)
I lost it all
(i lost it all)
But someday i'll be back again
And i, never to fold.
(never to fold)
Bop bop bop...
I say now skittleedat dat,
Well how bout that?
I'm coming out the front never coming out the back
And i walked into the bar yesterday
Cause i had something to do, something to say
And johnny walked in right behind me and i didn't turn around
Til i heard the sound of his feet falling on the ground
I looked over my shoulder and i saw a clown
And i said what'cha doin' in the bar tonight.
So i said johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And i said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah dah dah
Day day oh!
And i said, what'cha looking at?
He hit me across the face with a bat
I grabbed my .45 and i said let's get out and go
So he opened the door and said do what you're here for
I said i'm wandering round the road four to four
And i said i been walking for about a thousand years.
And my feet are growing tired
My eyes a little wired
Don't know what to do unless i retire
And he just said let's play some crazy poker
I said that, was the craziest game of poker that i ever saw
I said that, was the craziest game of poker that i ever saw
But i'm not gonna quit and i'm not gonna stop
Don't give a shit cause i got the drop
Johnny just got two eyes just like mine
And i'm feeling kinda funky, kinda fine
And i drank a bottle of whiskey, 'fore i came
Came to the bar to see what's the same
I saw my man named johnny sittin' across the table from me
And to my left was a man, he had no chin
Didn't really think about starting a scene
The man to my right wasn't feeling kinda nice
He looked kinda mad and i felt bad
Beacuse i took his money last night it's kinda funny
But now i'm just struggling--
I need a honey-bunny.
I don't know what to say anymore
So i'm just gonna go out, any ho...
So i said johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And i said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah
I say oh, you say ah
I say revolution, and you say jah dah dah
In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it's always back to you
Stumble out, in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There's more I need
It's always back to you
But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around
I had no idea that the night
Would take so damn long
Took it out, on the street
While the rain still falls
Push me back to you
But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around
Give it up, give it up, baby
Give it up, give it up, now
How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting
Always turn the car around
How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Don't wanna turn that car around
