It's in taxis it's on trains
In airports hopping planes
The silence moving on contains
It's in all the in-betweens
In the day to day routines
In over 15 million dreams
It's in trying to close the door
It's never gonna stop
It's in how you're looking for
A way to make it stop
It's in missing someone more
It's never gonna stop
No it's never gonna stop
It's like trying to fly trapeze
Like has-beens gonna-bes
Ill at ease and hard to please
It's how Paris how Cologne
How even Zurich feels outgrown
It's in the way you could have known
Can you make some room for me
Can you make some room for me
It's in trying to close the door it's never gonna stop
I wish you smelled a little funny
Not just funny really bad
We could roam the streets forever
Just Ilke cats but we'd never stray
I sometimes wish you were a mermaid
I could raise you in the tub at home
We could take a swim together
On weekly day trips to the bay
Oh you and me
lt would be only you and me
Oh you and me
lt would be only you and me
I wish you were a little bigger
Not just big but really fat
Doors you would no longer fit through
In my bed you would have to stay
I often wish that you had feathers
rd keep you in a giant cage
All day long rd sit and watch you
rd sing for you and that would be okay
People say there are plenty of fish
In the sea, baby, all I do is wish
I wish you were a little slower
Not just slow but paralyzed
Then I could plug you into a socket
So you could never run away
I really wish that you were smaller
Not just small but really really short
So I could put you in my pocket
I made the call just too late
At the end of May
I just thought I could wait
For one more day
In the time that passed
You went down so fast
You went down so fast
Out of my reach, out of my hands
I didn't understand
I would have changed all my plans
An empty house, a setting sun
At four a.m.
Some battles fought are battles won
But this ain't one of them
One more shadow cast
You went down so fast
You went down so fast
Out of my reach, out of my hands
I didn't understand
I would have changed all my plans
I would have changed
Out of my reach, out of my hands
Now the leaves are turning brown
I watch 'em blow
Where the earth pulls them down
I let you go
As your breath unwinds
Through the restless pines
Out of my reach, out of my hands
I didn't understand
I would have changed all my plans
I would have changed
Out of my reach, out of my hands
I didn't understand
I would have changed all my plans
Your clothes spread out on the floor just like it was
before
A homerun is a hit I'll never score
The hours before the break of dawn are as fragile as a
song
And can go on and on and on and on and on
We wait for the light to break through the summer night
I hope I run into you tomorrow
And I hope you will talk to me until
The morning comes, until the morning comes
Looking for my clothes on the floor, I gently close the
door
In times like these, you're all I'm looking for
I swear to God I know that I want to struggle to get by
The fact that all the good things someday die
Because all the good things someday die
We wait for the light to break through the summer night
I hope I run into you tomorrow
And I hope you will talk to me until
The morning comes, until the morning comes
The morning comes, until the morning comes
Til the morning comes
Til the morning comes
We wait for the light to break through the summer night
I hope I run into you tomorrow
And I hope you will talk to me until
The morning comes, until the morning comes
The morning comes, until the morning comes
sometimes everything seems awkward and large
imagine a Wednesday evening in march
future and past at the same time
I make use of the night start drinking a lot
although not ideal for now it's all that I've got
it's nice to know your name
You don't know you don't know
you don't know anything about me
an ocean a lake I need a place to drown
let's freeze the moment cause we're going down
tomorrow you'll be gone
you're laughing too hard this all seems surreal
I feel peculiar now what do you feel
do you think there's a chance that we can fall
you don't know you don't know
you don't know anything about me
what do I know I know your name
you don't know you don't know
you don't know anything about me anymore
I gave up dreaming for a while
I gave up dreaming for a while
I've noticed these are mysterious days
I look at it and like a jigsaw puzzle and gaze
with wide open mouth and burning eyes
if only I could start to care
my dreams and my Wednesdays ain't going nowhere
baby baby baby you don't know
you don't know you don't know
you don't know anything about me
what do I know I know your name
you don't know you don't know
If I had a way to get out of this day
If I had a way I'd get out today
Man, I would run away, man, I would run
'Cause these walls block out the sun
Yeah they block out the sun
Today I've got nothing to lose
I could go wherever I wanted to
Leave, jump onto the world
If I had a way to get out of this deal
If I had a way I'd break the deal
Man, I would grab the wheel, and man, I will drive
5000 miles just to survive, 5000 miles
Today I've got nothing to lose
I could go wherever I wanted to
Leave, jump onto the world
As it's spinning 'round, going down
Taking me along for the ride
For the ride
Today I've got nothing to lose
I could go wherever I wanted to
Today I've got nothing to lose
I could go wherever I wanted to
Leave, jump onto the world
Today I've got nothing to lose
I could go wherever I wanted to
Leave, jump onto the world
As it's spinning 'round, going down
Taking me along for the ride
If I had a way I'd get out today
I'm Peter van der Hold
I'm 68 years old
I doubt some questions have increased
In 42 years of being a priest
I'm at the end of my life
I'm not sure if I'm gonna survive
I often don't know what to say
When I talk to Him, when I pray
In reply I receive
Only silence, no relieve
I've waited in vain for a little advice
from that great voice in the ethereal skies
Once I was revolutionary
A devoted mercenary
A gifted student in God's hands
Now I'm old and sick of his demands
I tried to be honest and good
Did my job the best I could
But I always stayed that average man
Right in the spot where I'll be began
During the grieve with which I've dealt
Spent three decades since I've felt
The certainty I so have thought 'bout the existence of
the Lord
I've seen enough, that's why I know
God left this place, long long time ago
I'll give him to my perish
Things I don't have myself but cherish
And namely love and charity
Mostly purpose that's what sets you free
So I'm where the metaphore
I'm not comforting anymore
I think I'm almost done with my search
Got old so fast even in my church
But feels as if I'm kept out
Some sort of secret about
The meaning of live sometimes
Can't fail to notice these are mediocre types
I've seen enough, that's why I know
God left this place, long long time ago
I've seen enough, that's why I know
God left this place, long long time ago
And time has made me good at one thing
And horrible at everything else
The blessings of a world divine
Were always elsewhere and never mine
Oh, I would like to hold someone
Briefly maybe have some fun
My body's hardly designed
So I'm not really the hugging kind
Not once has it been
Someone with a softer skin
Who reached out for me in the middle of the night
'Cause my own lumpy mattress would've turn on the light
I think I've been miscast
And the time of saints is passed
My faith is reclassed but not least
After 42 years of being a priest
The church is like a woman
Thing out of reach like a vision
She glimmers in the distance which I could never quite
Now I've left you with my regret
I've seen enough, that's why I know
God left this place, long long time ago
I've seen enough, that's why I know
God left this place, long long time ago
I've seen enough, that's why I know
God left this place, long long time ago
I've seen enough,...
God left this place,...
It's my portion, it's my cup...
It's my portion, it's my cup...
It's my portion, it's my cup...
Where I'm from there are no mountains
And time is standing still
Where I'm from there's barely space left
Still they're running up a hill
Where I'm from they don't like changes
Even if alarm bells ring
Where I'm from they have a princess
Where I'm from they have a king
Where I'm from they don't like dreamers
They are told to shut their mouth
Where I'm from they're divided
Between the North and the South
Where I'm from it's like a long night
That never turns to day
Where I'm from the kingdom's trembling
Where I'm from they've lost the way
Sing it loud today
Sing it loud today
I'm singing it loud today
I am the one that got away
Where I'm from they just keep rooted
Heads are always hanging low
Where I'm from the Congo River
Never got nowhere to go
Where I'm from words are repeated
But they never really rhyme
Where I'm from the kingdom's trembling
Where I'm from they're losing time
Where I'm from there's a lack of heroes
Both in politics and song
Where I'm from the more they fix it
The faster everything goes wrong
Where I'm from I still remember
So I will sing it every day
That this kingdom is still my kingdom
Lover there's something I should
Confess, I've been misunderstood
I really fucked up, it doesn't make sense
I've got no choice but to accept the consequence
Mama, there's something I'd like
To tell you before they arrive
'Cause in a couple of hours, at the first light of day
Some men will come and take me away
Sister, don't weep, it's my fault
That I will die before I get old
And now I just wish that I could shed my skin
And sneak away from the mess that I'm in
Father, give me back my grace
The End is a time and a place
Where certain people'll be rewarded for perfection but a
liar
Again there's blood in your mouth
Because you keep stumbling into walls
It seems like you got signed up
For a portion of trouble every week
Look at this bloody mess
And take a good look at your heart
It shouldn't be bleeding for
Him or for this fucked up world
I've got something to say
I've got something to say
Things are not always as bad as they seem
we should have a word together
I think you and I
we never should have slept together
never should have tried
we should have a word together
it's time you understand
that I think the situation
is getting out of hand
like a stepping stone a breaking bone
the moves we make alone
still we pretend nothing's wrong at all
you have changed I have changed
in a different way we changed
every step we take we're more alone
we should have a word together
I know that I said
that we were meant to be together
I wish I never had
we should have a word together
it's time we break our fall
because trying isn't always better
than not trying at all
like a stepping stone a breaking bone
the moves we make alone
still we pretend nothing's wrong at all
you have changed I have changed
in a different way we changed
every step we take we're more alone
like a stepping stone a breaking bone
the moves we make alone
still we pretend nothing's wrong at all
you have changed I have changed
in a different way we changed
every step we take we're more alone
every step we take we're more alone
Stephanie always makes a lot of plans
She has decided, she has decided
She is gonna leave
As soon as high school ends
In a house where no one ever cares
In her room in the attic, room in the attic
She wakes up to the sound of footsteps
On the stairs
If it's true what they, what they say
Stephanie has gone away
If they're right, if they're right
Stephanie took off last night
Stephanie lives with a mother and son
Who can no longer hide it, no longer hide
Their hate for her
Because she is daddy's favorite one
On an August night in 2OO4
At the end of the summer, end of the summer
When they enter her room
A baseball bat falls on the floor
If it's true what they, what they say
Stephanie has gone away
If they're right, if they're right
Stephanie took off last night
Do you know that Billy Joel song
It says only the good die young
If they're right, if they're right
Stephanie was killed last night
Stephanie always made a lot of plans
She had decided, she had decided
She was gonna leave
As soon as high school ended
On that terrifying August night
Down by the river, down by the rever
Is where Stephanie was left after she died
If it's true what they, what they say
Stephanie has gone away
If they're right, if they're right
Stephanie was killed last night
If they'r right
Stephanie was killed last night
She never really wanted much
Listen up and take a minute I need to tell you why
I do the things the way I do and weeks are flying by
I'm trying to fill a void in my life these days
By filling it with work and work
And accomplishments and praise
Anything that keeps me busy anything that keeps me up
Cause if I start to let it out I think I'm never gonna stop
Afraid I'm never gonna stop
Listen up and take a minute wherever you are
I've been mourning you with the bottle and with my guitar
For this song I sat myself down to put in words
What's underneath and what's unsaid
How much this whole thing hurts
How much this whole thing hurts
Listen up just take a minute I need to tell you why
I do the things the way I do so months are flying by
Since you're gone it isn't always easy all I do is run
But the hardest part the hardest part
Was growing up your son
against the wall
looking like a princess down the hall
who is starting to want something so badly that it hurts
now she hopes it's not too late
she drinks a lot
and figures out she's everything he's not
she is starting to want something so badly that it hurts
and now she hopes it's not too late to start to play
they must find a new name for this sullen silver game
it's time to go
now that she knows more than she wants to know
she is starting to want something so badly that it hurts
and now she knows that it's too late to stay
change has never been a decision it just happens
She's still blue eyed
Possibly
Then again
She couldn't be
One, two, she knows kung foo
Three, four, Kicked in my door
Five, six, I can't believe it
What a mess I made...
She might she might
She might shake up everything I am
She might she might
She might Make me do the best I can
Uh Oh ohh what have she done
Uh Oh she might be her, she might be the one
I'm into deep,
Probably...
Then again,
How could I be... ?
One, two, she just got through
Three four, what an uproar,
Five six she moves me out
And throws me to the way
She might she might
She might shake up everything I am
She might she might
She might make me do the best I can
Uh Oh ohh what have she done
Uh ohh she might be her,
She might be the one...
Her eyes are shining like a midnight sun
Oh, the countdown is begun
Five, four, three, two, one
She might she might
She might shake up everything I am
She might she might
She might make me do the best I can
Uh Oh Ooh what have she done
Uh Oh Ooh what have she done
She might she might
She might be her,
She might be the one,
When I was little I wanted to be king
I built castles in the air but never found my way in
For a week I was Rambo but couldn't take the pace
Then I thought I'd be a rocket man
But never made it into space
All my life I tried so many things I couldn't do
But I can't think of anything I wouldn't try again
Try again for you
I worked to be a wizard I tried it for a year
I had five white rabbits but not one would disappear
I dreamed of being a fireman but that went up in flames
Said okay I'll be a cowboy
But it turned out I'm no Jesse James
All my life I tried so many things I couldn't do
But I can't think of anything I wouldn't try again
Try again for you
I played guitar in a band and finally got laid
Then we fell apart as soon as bills needed to be paid
Got a job in a restaurant where I burned every dish
Was a sidewalk Santa Claus
But I couldn't grant one single wish
I set off to see the world it finally felt right
But I got lost the second day
Sso I went home the following night
All my life I tried too many things I couldn't do
But I can't think of anything I wouldn't try again try again
No I can't think of anything I wouldn't try again try again
you came over
like a midnight appetite
nobody believes me now
I ran across and
saw a thousand people on my way
on my way on my way out
one of it, two of it
one of it, we'll make
the most of it
you'll love it
one of it, two of it
one of it, we'll make
the most of it
you'll love it
(you left me out there
in the early morning rain
why would you believe me now)
baby clown climing
dancing al of broken rules
don't worry she's tierd now
I'm only trying
to protect my point of view
I want you to let me in
one of it, two of it
one of it, we'll make
the most of it
you'll love it
one of it, two of it
one of it, we'll make
the most of it
you'll love it
and you'll try
to give me something
to give me something
I'll do something
I'll do something
let's try
one of it, two of it
one of it, we'll make
the most of it
you'll love it
one of it, two of it
one of it, we'll make
the most of it
you'll love it
can you count me in
Here in the city the measure is frozen
Billboards are screaming nothing is real
In every small town there's air you can breathe in
It's not about the money or fast food on wheels
The lights are too bright for my eyes
Inside there's a feeling that rings like a bell
I've had enough and I long for the silence
This place hasn't treated me well
I have decided to leave this city
These buildings and people bring me down
I have decided to leave this city
I think that I'm gonna move to town
Here in the city no one's connected
Careers are controlling everyone's lives
In every small town there's barely possession
Mothers aren't burdens or grandfathers' wives
I won't make a sound
I won't follow this merry-go-around
That keeps going round with or without
Me I'm leaving I'm leaving I'm leaving
Tomorrow I'll make my way out of the city
Tomorrow I'll hop on a train or a bus
I'll never stop running away from cities
an eyelash on your cheek crashed down and broken
decided to leave so it jumped on a tear
since '94 you've been wanting to grow up
since '94 been trying to get out of here
I don't wanna find out whatever I needed
I'm way too afraid of what I could find
you're losing the thread while I'm losing my head
I wish that I will make up my mind
don't write me off
because I should try hard enough
I just need a little more time
don't write me off
because I haven't tried hard enough
I just need a little more time
the closer we get the more it looks like we've made it
I finally like this time of year
the closer you look we get less overrated
I hope that next week you'll still be here
an eyelash on your cheek crashed down and broken
decided to leave so it jumped on a tear
since '94 you've been wanting to grow up
You always wanted to be
Part of a circus company
For the fun and death defying
But in time you forgot life is small in the big top
And your dreams were slowly dying
What you wanted was not a crime
You could've done it
Now you're always just a little
A little in the middle
A little in the middle of where you're bound
Always just a little in the middle
It keeps your head from spinning round
Jugglers walk on the wire
Lions leap through hoops of fire
As the acrobats go flying
But what's the show all about
When did your north get turned to south
And the truth turn to lying
What you wanted was not a crime
You could've done it but you needed time
But it's a hole you're digging
A hole you're digging you're doing it despite
The so much more you're missing
I like to read stories from the bottom of the world
Although they’ve all been told before
You wanna stay 25 for a couple more years
But be careful with what you’re wishing for
Because in a minute it might be gone, gone, gone
I like to watch stories from the bottom of the world
Because they’re truly prefunded
Is that a lesson’s now that grades wrong
You would think so by looking around
In a minute, it might be gone
Falling down, shaking it’s letting go
Launching ships, all the time
Falling down, shaking it’s letting go
Launching ships, all the time, all the time
I like to tell stories from the bottom of the world
Don’t care that it’s been done before
Just remind yourself that you should try
To care less and sunbathe more
Because in a minute it might be gone
Falling down, shaking it’s letting go
Launching ships, all the time
Falling down, shaking it’s letting go
Launching ships, all the time, all the time
can I be excused
from what I was doing but what was I doing
I need to buckle up
we make noise so pretty that closing time is only
a matter of time
as far as I'm concerned
we lost by a landslide and I think that just might
keep pissing me off
I didn't see it coming I never see it coming
not even this time
isn't a wake-up call
supposed to tell you something
call me again sometime
now I just learned nothing
need to explain
to me over coffee why you said this could be
the worst day of the year
as far as I'm concerned
I won't get into the fact we turned into
a couple of ghosts
yearning to burn and yearning to rise and
yet locked in time and space
isn't a wake-up call
supposed to tell you something
call me again sometime
now I just learned nothing
need to explain
to me over coffee why you said this could be
the worst day of the year
as far as I'm concerned
I won't get into the fact we turned into
a couple of ghosts
a couple of ghosts
Tt took a while, but now I see
My old man worked for the KGB
The government found out about
His work and had to take him out
It took a while but now I see
Why dad was such a mystery
Sometimes you cheat, sometimes you lie
It part of the job when you're
When you're a spy
It took a while but now I see
My old man worked for the KGB
The government found about
His work and had to take him out
Sitting in the yard I didn't understand
Holding his dead body in my hands
Now it's getting clear to me
My dad he worked for the KGB
On the fourth of March in his backyard
The sniper shot him in the heart
He was only fifty-three
But a hero for the KGB
And a hero for the KGB
And a hero
Mama rise on the couch in her old wedding gown
She turned pale long before the carnival had left town
She stares at the front porch on the outlook for dad
"Don't worry, I'll be back in a week" is the last thing
he said
We all knew he gambled in the city and lost
Money we didn't have must've be the line that he
crossed
It's been over a year instead of a week
Here in our house, our house by the creek
Me and my family live in the Netherlands
In the house that he build with his bare hands
My younger brother Jimmy is playing outside
With his cap gun he tries to shoot planes from the sky
In his chair by the window sits uncle Fred
Since he's back from the war there ain't a word he has
said
And Fred calls my sister as she passed away sir
Sometimes in my dreams I catch up with dad and with her
What we end up with is not what we seek
Here in our house, our house by the creek
My name is Louis, it's Louis, all right
I play dad's old accordion all day and all night
I just turned eleven, so I'm still a kid
But when I grow up I wanna find out what daddy did
Mister believe me, I was thought not to cry
And that family should stay together 'till the day that
you die
Yeah mister believe me, I was taught boys don't cry
And that the town where you're born is the town where
you’ll die
That the town where you're born is where you’ll
probably die
What did God wanna show when He created man weak
This is the legend of eight sisters, Herald was the
famous one
It happened twenty years ago although the sea was calm
It was 1987 and winter nearly gone
On that Friday running late with rolling off and
rolling on
Trucks and cars were sleeping door by door and side by
side
Someone had to close the back door
That day it must have slipped his mind
He was fast asleep in his cabin, tired from cleaning
out the hall
While passengers were eating, indulging duty-free-for-

Herald of Free Enterprise
In just ninety seconds, right down to the wire
Sailing with the doors wide open so the waves kept
pouring in
As they passed the Outer Mole the disaster could begin
An a hundred yards from the shore right outside a
Belgian port
The lights went out the ship turned around and fell to
starboard
Then nothing but silence, silence and the cold
Herald and her sisters never fit the mold

In just ninety seconds, right down to the wire
Two months later she was refloated a final one-way trip

Pensioned off into the Thirld World
Where they named her Flushing Range
And in ’88 she broke in two, probably because of guilt
Pride and Spirit changed their names
They were all doomed since they were built

I was just a boy then, holding daddy’s hands
the words she means are those she doesn't say
so slowly running out of things to say
she was not afraid to ring a bell or two
there's no one who can tell her how to feel
I just wish that I could help her out
but I'm part of the problem it turns out
she was not afraid to ring a bell or two
and I'm part of the problem it turns out
I noticed she thinks I have figured it all out
surely I get by

Tonight your luck ran out
You may scream real loud
You won't get away
I'm gonna make you pay
Until I am done with you
There's nothing you can do
Nowhere you can hide
This city's on my side
A classic case of too little too late
At a quarter to eight
No second thoughts 'cause this Saturday night
Calls for a fight
Tonight your luck ran out
You may scream real loud
You won't get away
I'm gonna make you pay
Until I am done with you
There's nothing you can do
Nowhere you can hide
A Brussels Is on My Side
Every place

Every place
Looks the same in the dark

Hey man, I'm tired of working all day
I'm turning into a daysleeping walking cliche
Hey man, let's wait until daylight fades
And we'll join the dreamers and renegades
Hey, have you heard the radio news
They say that soon all hell will break loose
Me, I am trying to do my part
But really changing the world seems so hard
Hey man, I'm tired of working all day
I'm turning into a daysleeping walking cliche
Hey man, let's wait until daylight fades
And we'll join the dreamers and renegades
Girl, let's just empty this bottle of booze
And swirl all night in our dancing shoes
Hey man, I'm tired of working all day
I'm turning into a daysleeping walking cliche
Hey man, let's wait until daylight fades
We'll join the dreamers and renegades
Hey hey hey, just you and me girl, what do you say
Hey hey hey, just you and me girl, what do you say
Hey man, I'm tired of working all day
Hey man, I'm tired of working all day
I'm turning into a daysleeping walking cliche
Hey man, let's wait until daylight fades
And we'll join the dreamers and renegades
We'll join the dreamers and renegades
Dreamers and renegades
Dreamers and renegades
Life always dumps something in your lap
You're constantly busy redrawing your map
You leave behind a fading trail
Of images and words that you hope will prevail
Life always dumps something in your way
You try to make the best of it everyday
You could give up and give in but you prefer
To keep hoping some kind of change might occur
Just hoping some kind of change might occur
Misery sure loves company
And nobody's ever who they seem to be
The daily horror of people at their worst
And most selfish, one day, your bubble will burst
So much time should not have passed
At least not that way and not so fast
It wasn't always easy, it wasn't always fun
But it was always worth it, regrets i have none
It was always worth it, regrets i have none
Life always dumps something so you should try.
To acknowledge the fact you're surrounded by
These relics of a life that no longer exists
Your name still appears on the waiting lists
Life always dumps something that makes things worse
There are no rules in this self-help universe
It's never what you were expecting to find.
There's darkness ahead and there's darkness behind.
There's darkness ahead and there's darkness behind.
Coming of age ain’t about what you do
It’s giving in to what’s predefined
When you trade all your dreams for compromise
It is never what you have in mind
One shot of happy, two shots of sad
That’s how our lives are aligned
The path that you chose has got highs has got lows
But it’s never what you have in mind
I must say that I still wonder why it disappears
Must say that I still wonder why
The years keep tumbling by
Coming of age ain’t about who you meet
It’s about the people who leave you behind
Your brothers, your parents, your lovers, your friends
It is never what you have in mind
One shot of happy, two shots of sad
We know we might run out of time
But when it comes to living, dying is the easy part
Not exactly what you had in mind
I really doubt that I’ll find out why it disappears
I really doubt that I’ll find out
What these years are all about
You might ask if these thoughts that I just summed up
Are of any importance to you
Maybe not but when things don’t turn out like you
planned
It helps to know that they never do
Besides, if each shot of happy
Comes with only two shots of sad
Then coming of age is not so bad
Then coming of age is not so bad
I'm gonna move to Canada
Yeah I've made up my mind
Leave everything behind
I'll catch a plane, fly away from this rain
I'm gonna move to Canada
I'm gonna meet Neil Young
I just know we'll get along
Show up at his house
Convince him and his spouse
I'll pick up my guitar and play
A couple of my songs
A couple of my songs
A couple of my songs
That I'll sing at the top of my lungs
I'm gonna move to Canada
Yeah I've made up my mind
Leave everything behind
I'll catch a plane, fly away from this rain
Mister Young will be impressed
And offer me a record deal
And tell me to call him Neil
We'll have a ball until Canada's too small
Then I'll pack up my guitar and I
Will move to the US
I'll move to the US
I'll move to the US
To be a sensational succes
I'm gonna move to Canada
Yeah I've made up my mind
Leave everything behind
I'll catch a plane, fly away from this rain
After Canada the USA is a piece of cake
All the sales records I'll break
"The Best Thing Since The Beatles"
Is what magazines will write
With my guitar and band
I will conquer every town
I'll conquer every town
I'll conquer every town
Me, the singing rock'n roll clown
I still wanna move to Canada
But for now I'll just stay here
I think it's best for my career
When I get home from the office
Where I've worked all my life
I pick up my guitar and play
A couple of my old songs
A couple of my old songs
A couple of my old songs
And I think: "Damn"
"Neil Young would have loved these songs,
He would have loved these songs"
Maybe next year
Maybe next year
Maybe next year
Maybe next year
Only when you're in California
You drive along the coast
The towns you pass are often ruthless
They leave you chasing ghosts
Leave you chasing ghosts
I'm dreaming of blue skies
If I what if I close my eyes
I rush down the freeway
Slowly peeling back my brain
Fighting for patience
While moving to a faster lane
I'm trying to enjoy the California rain
Someone sang that when you're lonely
You end up back and forth
Tonight I'm leaving San Diego
I take the 5 up North
I'm chasing blue skies
If I could plant a tree for every time
I used to hear you say
Life runs through your hands like water
Our backyard would be a forest now
Sometimes I feel like I am running out of time
Just like you did everything I do reminds me of you
If I had a cent for every place
We never got to go
Between Africa and our house
Maybe I would be a billionaire
Sometimes I feel like I am running out of time
Just like you did everything I do reminds me of you
If I had a brick for every word
That we forgot to say
Everything you never told me
Maybe I'd be building bridges now
Sometimes I feel like I am running out of time
Because you did everything I do
Sometimes I feel like everything I do reminds me of you
I grew up in the 90's at least that's what I tried
looking for ways to be satisfied
I went to San Diego to try out my luck
came back 12 months later and again I was stuck
I felt like a goldfish stuck in a bowl
I was waiting for something that I could control
after 2000 no longer a kid
the world didn't end but something else did
when my father takes off I'm already 19
he wasn't as happy as I thought he seemed
if this is my screenplay I don't like my role
these are the things that you just can't control
although I feel a lot older I'm just 23
if you're looking for answers don't come to me
instead of a future I've got a guitar
but dreaming out loud won't get me far
still I feel I'm ready for rock'n roll
cause there might be something that I can control
by the time I hit 30 I'll have enough
of being a twentysomething in love
my friends will all be married or they will be gone
I'll still be wondering what's going on
if that's what it takes then I'll sell my soul
as long as there's something that I can control
one day I'll wake up and I'll be 38
doing the things I used to hate
the trick to forget the bigger picture is when
you look at everything in close-up as often as you can
our revolution is covered in mold
cause there's only so much you can control
this is no anthem because anthems are proud
and pride isn't something this is about
I shouldn't care shouldn't care
but I do and that's sometimes too hard to bear
still walking the same road with my shoes full of holes
waiting for something that we can control
if I ever reach 50 or 65
too early to tell if I'll still be alive
we were born in the 80's and now we are here
my generation's dream will disappear
I'm at a graveyard passing the rows
a silent surrender we'll never get close
this is my story you swallowed it whole
She work it girl, she work the pole
She break it down, she take it low
She fine as hell, she about the dough
She doing her thing out on the floor
Her money money, she makin' makin'
Got the way she shakin'
Make you want to touch it, make you want to taste it
Have you lustin' for her,
go crazy face it
She's so much more than you're used to
She know's just how to move to seduce you
She gone do the right thing and touch the right spot
Dance in you're lap till you're ready to pop
She always ready, when you want it she want it
Like a nympho, the info
I show you where to meet her
On the late night, till daylight the club jumpin'
If you want a good time, she gone give you what you want
Baby It's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here,
you got me saying
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front-- of me
In her fantasy, there's plain to see
Just how it be, on me, backstrokin',
Sweat soaking
All into my set sheets
When she ready to ride, I'm ready to roll
I'll be in this bitch till the club close
What should I do, on all fours
Now that that shit should be against the law
Different style, different move,
Damn I like the way you move
Girl you got me thinking about,
All the things I'd do to you
Let's get it poppin' shorty
We can switch positions
From the couch to the counters in my kitchen
Baby It's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me
Ooh she wants it, Ooh she wants it
Hmm she wants it, I got to give it to her
She wants it, Hmm she wants it
Hmm she wants it, I got to give it to her
I got to give it to her
Baby It's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I wish you smelled a little funny
Not just funny really bad
We could roam the streets forever
Just like cats but we'd never stray
I sometimes wish you were a mermaid
I could raise you in the tub at home
We could take a swim together
On weekly day trips to the bay
Oh you and me
It would be only you and me
Oh you and me
It would be only you and me
I wish you were a little bigger
Not just big but really fat
Doors you would no longer fit through
In my bed you would have to stay
I often wish that you had feathers
I'd keep you in a giant cage
All day long I'd sit and watch you
I'd sing for you and that would be okay
People say there are plenty of fish
In the sea, baby, all I do is wish
I wish you were a little slower
Not just slow but paralyzed
Then I could plug you into a socket
So you could never run away
I really wish that you were smaller
Not just small but really really short
So I could put you in my pocket
And carry you around all day
Oh you and me
It would be only you and me
Oh you and me
It would be only you and me
You and me
