Her skin is like Velvet
Her face cut from stone
Her eyes when she's smiling
Will never reach home
But hear how she sings
Her touch would be tender
Her lips would be warm
But when we're together
I'm always alone
But hear how she sings
But hear how she sings
And hear how she sings
Her skin is like Velvet
So I went to her home
Her place like a palace
With things you can't own
Her skin is like Velvet
And hear how she sings
Hear how she sings
She sings
Head high
You strike a weighty pose
You say: c'mon gather round
The playback is filling up the room
That Up-With-People sound
That Up With People sound
I don't want to rain on your parade
In light of all the hopes
and all the plans
that you have made
I don't want to rain on your parade
But watch me anyway, yeah
Watch me anyway, yeah
Take a good look where we are
Damn right I wanted more
Like everything we worked for
I don't want to rain on your parade
But there's just something 'bout your face
that rubs me the wrong way
I don't wanna rain on your parade
Watch me anyway, yeah
I must've have been half-baked
tryin' to work the land
I must've been some sight
A shovel in my hand
If you could see me
turning over dirt
I must've been out there
for taking no advice
I used to be laid-back
and to be precise
I like a late morning
to rest my weary head
You have to be gifted
to get me out of bed
I don't care
if you give it away
Give it away
And I'm there
I'm digging my heels in
I swore I'd never quit
I got me a bovine
to make me look legit
I got me a sheep-dog
and a beat-up truck
I couldn't do better
to get me thru the much
I couldn't do better
to get me turn the mulch
I have until Monday
to make a little sense
I got until Tuesday
to present my full defense
I'm betting the farm on
I'm gonna lose my shirt
Apart from a bovine
I own a piece of dirt
I must have been crazy
for taking on the work
I don't mind
if you give it away
Give it away
Everyday I'm wishing the clouds away
Over you, everyday
Pull your face out from the shade
Into the sun, sun, sun
La la la la la...and all it ever was
La la la la...
Is all that it will be
Everyday I'm wishing us far away
From this place, everyday
You with me and I with you
In the sun.. sun... sun... sun...
La la la la la... and all we ever got
La la la la...
is all we'll ever have
You with me and I with you
In the sun.. sun... sun... sun...
La la la la la... and everything we got
La la la la...
Is everything we'll have
Everyday...
Everyday...
Let's go down and see the man
throw some coins in the Karma Boomerang.
We're going to Grey Dog.
Somewhere down on Carmine st.
Throw flowers in the air
and slowly come awake.
Let's go down and see the man
throw some coins in the Karma Boomerang.
Above us drunken birds
news filled with bloody murders.
Skylines and broken words.
You take your crystal pill
you get an instant thrill
you get your cup refilled and slowly come away.
Let's go down and see the man
throw some coins in the Karma Boomerang.
Is this the year that we will turn it on it's side,
and lead a stationary life.
Let's go down and see the man
throw some coins in the Karma Boomerang.
Hey, talk to the girl cause she's good
she's a litte misunderstood
talk to the girl cause she's good
Hey, talk to the man cause he knows,
just how the story goes
talk to the man that knows
And I think you'll find that what he says
dosen't seem that crazy
when you're in his head
and I think you'll see
that what he thinks,
makes a lot of sense
when you're on the brink
Hey, talk to the flower shop girl,
she's all alone in this world
talk to the flower girl
Hey, talk to the Man In The Park
he'll tell you he's lost the spark
In the morning
And the air so still
Cars are passing
By my window sill
Dusty sidewalks, in the afternoon
Coastal mountains, I will be there soon
You should have told me
Should have told you
I should have told you, that the dam won't hold
I should have called you, but the line went cold
I should have held you in my arms each night
I should've told you when the time was right
Should have told me
Should have told you
Seasons will turn
Never will I learn
Moments will pass
I always think they'll last
You should have told me
I should have told you, when I had the chance
I should have told you, just the way I planned
Dusty sidewalk in the afternoon,
Coastal mountains, I will be there soon.
You should have told me
Seasons will turn
Never will I learn
Moments will pass
You always think they'll last
You should have told me
Moments will pass
Moments will pass
You should have told me
I should have told you
You should have told me
I should have told you
You should have told me
I should have told you
You don't know how people talk
They say it's in the way she walks
Friends come up to you and say
I've never seen you act this way
Well, get up now
Get up now
She comes through a ring of fire
Preys on your heart's desire
She rules your world entire
She'll laugh as you walk right by her
She believes in what you do
Knows exactly what you're going through
She tries hard to be the best
She'll break you down before she rests
Well yeah, get up now
Get up now
Your downfall will take her higher
Don't ask what goes on inside her
What could this world deny her
She cuts like a piece of wire
Something grabbed a hold of me
I don't know what it was
What could this world deny her?
Get up now, hey hey
Get up now, hey hey
She comes through a ring of fire
Preys on your hearts desire
What could this world deny her?
She'll laugh as you walk right by her
She comes through a ring of fire
Your downfall will take her higher
She rules your world entire
She cuts like a piece of wire
She comes through a ring of fire
She comes through a ring of fire
She comes through a ring of fire
She comes through a ring of fire
Got out of bed with
Things in my head
I said to myself
Be good to yourself
You have to be
Who else will be?
The neighbour next door
His wife left for more
He sits in his chair
And watches the war
You have to be
You have to see
How... How days can turn so sad
Everyone... Come on, come on...
Everyone... Can't you see right through it?...
Everyone... Come on, come on...
Everyone... Can't you see right...
Man on the roof
Kills everyone that gets
In the line of him and his gun
Then shoots himself
When he's done
Could one foresee
Where it would lead
A schoolyard dispute
Turns into a high school shooting spree
Tragically
Ah, how days an turn so sad
And strip you of
All that's glad
Everyone... Come on, come on...
Everyone... Can't you see right through it?...
Everyone... Come on, come on...
Everyone... Can't you see right through it?...
Everyone... Come on, come on...
Everyone... Can't you see right through it?...
Everyone... Come on, come on...
Everyone... Can't you see right through it?...
Everyone... (Everyone...)
Come on, come on... (Come on, come on...)
Everyone... Can't you see right through it?...
Everyone... (Everyone...)
Come on, come on... (Come on, come on...)
Washington square's right up the street
That was the place where we would meet
Outside the dog run, don't be late
Most of the time I'd sit and wait
Looking at people passing by
A customer's begging his supply
Just as you thought she wouldn't show
There she come's running
Don't you know it
Daylight's wasting
Daylight
I can taste it
As it falls from the sky
I had a band of certain faim
The brownstone walk
Ups was our name
The singer was fair but got it wrong
He never did justice to my songs
He did more for me and that's a fact
When he went and stabbed me in the back
So, I've gotta do now, do't you know
What I should've done five years ago
Daylight's wasting
Daylight
Yeah, I can taste it
You hide from the day
Don't be this way
Raise your sleepy head
Old cloths fill the bed...
Use me instead
Yeah, raise your sleepy head
You picked words that
I'd fall for
Why say something
So uncalled for
Little things that I'd die for
You make it clear now what to try for
This morning has come
...will soon be done
So raise your sleepy head
Our weekend away
Starts today
Girl one, talk to me
How are we doin' so far?
I'm fine, honestly
Ever read the Bell Jar?
Dum di dum di da da
Girl One
Girl one, trip me up,
drag me down and then pick me up
Girl one, always there
Always Jewish with curly hair
Dum di dum di da da
Girl One
Sunday I got so bored
Down at South Street Seaport
Friends in town, we had to show 'em around
Rolls of film later, I say
Do me a favor; tell me
Are we done here PLEASE!
Girl one, moving on
How are we doing today?!
I'm fine, honestly
What do you want me to say?
Dum di dum di da da
Something in this morning
Oh, something in the air
Although she's right above me
I don't think she knows I'm here
I raise my hands to hold you, tie you down, keeping you where
Empty lines I've told you, disappear, and right as I'm here
Mary is coming
Mary is coming
Mary is coming
And it looks like I'm coming too
Everybody's saying
One day at a time
You never minded waiting
Oh but make it in my prime
Mary never shows you, what she likes, you can pretend
Mary never blows you, but that's alright, cause what I like is when
Mary is coming
Mary is coming
Mary is coming
Mary is coming
Mary is coming
Mary is coming
And it looks like I'm coming too
Mary is coming
Mary is coming
Mary is coming
Looks like I'm coming too
Don't ask questions you don't want to know
Don't ask for reasons, I will let it show
You gotta know by now how I feel
You gotta know how it feels
Oh, weeping night
Oh, grieving sky
Oh, rabbit wind
You just flew by
Oh, grant me this
Some small reward
I need to make sense of it all
And we can walk down by the beach
Into the sand we will reach
A whalebone washed on the shore
Like knowledge gained you can't ignore
Can't believe the things we said and did, only
yesterday
I don't wanna make too big a deal over yesterday
Gotta know how it feels
Don't ask questions you don't want to know
Don't ask for reasons, better let it go
You gotta know by now how it feels
You gotta know how it feels
Oh, weeping night
Oh, grieving sky
Oh, rabbit wind
You just flew by
Oh, grant me this
Some small reward
I need to make sense of it all
And we can walk down by the beach
Into the sand we will reach
A whalebone washed on the shore
Like knowledge gained you can't ignore
Yeah
I wake you up in the morning
Just to ask if I'm empty and boring
You shake me up in the evening
Just to ask if I'm empty of feeling
I, I know you do it good
I, I know you do it good
You sit me down on a green lawn
I'm getting tired of your voice-tone
I'm tryin' hard to be creative
Still you're acting like we're related
I, I know you make it good
I, I know you make it good
You told me once as we held hands
I was your connection to the main land
Empty of feeling... Empty of feeling...
Empty of feeling... Empty of feeling...
Empty of feeling... Empty of feeling...
Empty of feeling... Empty of feeling...
I, I know you do it good
I, I know you do it good
Yeah
I wake you up in the morning
Just to ask if I'm empty and boring
You shake me up in the evening
When you ask if I'm empty of feeling
I, I know you do it good
I, I know you do it good
I, I know you do it good
I, I know you do it good
I, I know you do it good... Empty of feeling...
I, I know you do it good... Empty of feeling...
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Baby I don't know why ya treatin me so bad
You said you love me, no one above me
And I was all you had
And though my heart is eating for ya
I can't stop crying
I don't know how
I allow you to treat me this way and still i stay
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Baby I don't know why ya wanna do me wrong
See when I'm home, I'm all alone
And you are always gone
And boy, you kno I really love you
I can't deny
I can't see how you could bring me to so many tears
after all these years
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Oohhhhh
I trusted you, I trusted you
So sad, so sad
what love will make you do
all the things that we accept
be the things that we regret
too all of my ladies (ladies) feel me
c'mon sing wit me
See, when I get the strength to leave
You always tell me that you need me
And I'm weak cause I believe you
And I'm mad because I love you
So I stop and think that maybe
You can learn to appreciate me
Then it all remains the same that
You ain't never gonna change
(never gonna change, never gonna change)
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
Butm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Baby why you hurt me leave me and desert me
Boy I gave you all my heart
And all you do is tear it up
Looking out my window
Knowing that I should go
Even when I pack my bags
What's the point of doing cart-wheels in the sun
Gaze the rain-washed hills
And wish for things undone?
Is it over yet? When's it gonna end?
Is my confidence reeling?
It's not hard to feel outside from it all
It's not hard to stay cold & uninvolved
But for each new day, I feel less inclined
Is my confidence reeling?
I should've been of help and mindful to your needs
Will the pangs of guilt ease up if I'm on my knees
Tell me what to do, tell me what to say
Send my confidence reeling
And I know just what you'll say
Yes, it happens every day
to one you met along the way
And I know just what will be
so wonderful to see; if somehow
some place later we could meet
What's the point of writing songs that no one hears
Little waves of sound falling on deaf ears
All the care and thought
Was it all for naught
Or is my confidence reeling?
In the dawning hour, break of day
Strikes an old church tower, a mile away
Based on old transcriptions, from a song
We'll be mining, tears from a stone
From a stone
From a stone
From a stone
Yeah
And as the morning daylight, enters here
We'll be adding curses, to a prayer
Taking notes down as, we go along
Yeah we'll be mining, tears from a stone
From a stone
From a stone
Tears from a stone
You shoot the blame out like a star
That never asked us who we are
You shoot a wish out to the sky
It never asked us where we hide
Where we hide
From a stone
Tears from a stone, oh
Tears from a stone
Oh how, I wouldn't mind
Half an hour's worth
Of feeling fine
Oh yeah, I won't pretend
Half an hour
Would be heaven sent
Once in a while
I felt a smile
Oh why, can't you see...
(It's okay)
Those clouds will pass away
Go see a friend of mine
(It's alright)
Never thought we'd meet again
A young wanna-be and an old has-been
I wish I had a photo of this scene
I've suffered through dependencies
I still have violent tendencies
I could sell my life to "People Magazine"
But I don't care; I don't mind
Just leave me alone or leave me behind
I won't forget the way you let me down
But I've gone underground
So don't come any closer
I might kick you in the nuts
Can't place your face
Can't stand your band
I hate your guts
It's just like Andy Warhol said
Fifteen minutes and a kick in the head
I hope you don't want sympathy from me
There was I time I worshipped you
But now I scrape you off my shoe
I guess that's just the way it's meant to be
And you didn't care, so don't pretend
'Cause you weren't there; you weren't my friend
In the end my only friend's a loaded gun
And I hate everyone
So don't come any closer
I might kick you in the nuts
Can't place your face
Can't stand your band
I hate your guts
Don't come any closer
Don't come any closer
Don't come any closer
We will never forget
Those times
We will never forget
Our lives
Head in a cloud
Ears to the ground
We're making the wind rush by
But my baby
Well, she don't know me
For all of the years gone by
We will never forget
Those times
We will never forget
Our lives
We will walk through the fields
All right
We will know how it feels
All right
Your face to the wind
Eyes to the rain
You're holding your head up high
But my baby
Well, she won't show me
For all of the tears we've cried
I will never forget her
Standing there
We will never belong
Elsewhere...
But the summers are good
Oh yeah
Nothing misunderstood, oh no
Head in a cloud
Ears to the ground
We're making the wind rush by
But my baby
Well, she don't know me
For all of the tears we cried
We will never forget
Melanie, you lied to me
You showed me things you
Knew I wasn't meant to see
Melanie, like you cared
You told me things you
Knew I wasn't meant to hear
Make it go away
Make it go away
Make it go away
Yeah
Melanie lied to me
Everything we shared
It meant so much to me
When you looked me in the eyes
It dawned on me
It never really mattered much to you
It never really mattered much to you
Melanie...so unaware
A quality that I mistook for sweet and rare
Melanie, in the end
What we had isn't coming round again
You made it go away
You made it go away
You made it go away
Yeah
Melanie lied to me
Every time we talked
It meant the world to me
When you shut me out
It took a while to see
You never needed much from me
You never really
Wanted much from me
You never really
Wanted much from me
You never really
Wanted much from me
Melanie... Melanie...
Everything we shared
It meant so much to me
When you looked me in the eyes
It dawned on me
It never really mattered much to you
It never really mattered much to you
You never really
Wanted much from me
Maybe I can't see
All of that you hide
Mm, baby
Still I'm on your side
I can't really know
For without a sound you smile
Mm, baby
Still I'm on your side
Should I step away
Should I bow out now
And go about my day
What would happen here
If I ran my fingers
Gently through her hair
Maybe I can't be
The one that makes it right
Mm, baby
Four o'clock in the morning
Just got home as it's dawning
Catch me now that I'm falling
End of the line
Days go by in a heartbeat
Single life when it's bittersweet,
Gotta get back on my own feet
End of the line
And I don't know how to solve it
Don't know how to revolve it
I don't know what to call it...
But end of the line
I don't know how to break it
Don't know how I can take this
I don't know if I'll make it
To the end of the line
I turned away from something real
I walked away from something good
Nine o'clock in the evening
Wake me up if I'm dreaming
Every day leaves me reeling
End of the line
Yesterday, and she calls me back
She let's me know just where it's at
Harsh words for an insomniac
End of the line
And I don't know how to solve it
Don't know how to revolve it
I don't know what to call it...
But end of the line
I don't know how to break it
Don't know how I can take this
I don't know if I'll make it
To the end of the line
I turned away from something real
I walked away from something good
Days go by in a heartbeat
Single life when it's bittersweet,
Gotta get back on my own feet
End of the line
And I don't know how to solve it
Don't know how to revolve it
I don't know what to call it...
But end of the line
I don't know how to break it
Don't know how I can take this
I don't know if I'll make it
To the end of the line
I turned my back on from something real
I walked away from something good
I turned my back on from something real
I walked away from something good
Dead of the winter
snow gently falling
stillness surrounds us
church bells are calling
Out in the distance
Cuts thru the grey clouds
I couldn't live here now
But maybe someday
Maybe one day soon
Dead of the winter
Tracks in the new snow
See where they lead to
See where they will go
Into the forest
somebodys waiting
I wouldn't go there now
You do what you want
You do or you don't
Your call
Carbon emissions
de-forestation
Antarctic warming
Land degradation
Fuel-wood consumption
Urbanization
I couldn't live here now
You say it wouldn't work
It wouldn't take
It wouldn't do any good
It wouldn't change a thing
And I being I
Can't say much to deny it
but I'm stuck with an urge
to only have tried it
You say it wouldn't do
It wouldn't shake
It wouldn't make any waves
It wouldn't be no use
And you being you
You know sure how to phrase it
And I being I
I just have to embrace it
Don't I
You say it wouldn't breathe
It wouldn't move
It wouldn't stay in the groove
It wouldn't stand a chance
You say it wouldn't wash
It wouldn't wear
It wouldn't go anywhere
It wouldn't do it for you
And I being I
Can't say much to deny it
but I'm stuck with an urge
to only have tried it
You say it wouldn't float
It wouldn't stick
It would sink like a brick
in a bottomless pit
In a bottomless pit
And you being you
You know sure how to phrase it
And I being I
I just have to embrace it
You say it wouldn't breathe
It wouldn't move
It wouldn't stay in the groove
It wouldn't stand a chance
I go crazy with the way you are
You`re such a star, baby
I go crazy with the things you do
Can`t i be you
If i`ii say i do, you will say you don`t
If i say i will, you will say you won`t
If i ask you out, i know you wont come
I`m not stupid baby
I go crazy whit the way you are
You`re such a star baby
I go crazy whit the things you do
Yeah, can`t i be you
If i call you up, you`re not alone
If i stay to late, you won`t drive me home
If i ask you out, i know you wont come
I`m not stupid baby
I go crazy with the way you are
You`re such a star baby
I go crazy with the things you do
Can`t i be you
In the morning and you`re fast asleep
I can see you smile, smile in your sleep
I can still recall the time, sitting in the sand
And watch the breakers as they roll upon the shore
You just walked right up to me, having asked around
You've had no takers to take you
Far away from here
Then I come along to hold your hand
Everything is up, and it's alright, cause I feel
The engine pulling us towards a new day's light
Everything is down and it's ok, cause I feel the engine
Humming and it's taking us away
I've been seeing you around sitting in the sand
And watching breakers as they roll upon the shore
You always have your friends around, but something
You should know, I think they're fakers
I'm the only one you need
Here I come along to hold your hand
Everything is off, but that's just fine cause
I see the engine running down the straight white line
Everything goes wrong, but that's alright
Because I hear the engine humming as it penetrates
The night
Where do we go from here?
Stepping into mid-air
How do we work it out?
Where do we check our doubts?
Everything is up, and it's alright, cause I feel
The engine pulling us towards a new day's light
Everything is down and it's ok, cause I feel the engine
Humming and it's taking us away
That's just fine cause
I see the engine running down the straight white line
Everything goes wrong, but that's alright
Because I hear the engine humming as it penetrates
