If there ever is any trouble
Gonna wanna be there for baby
When a fighter fights, he's in there
I am the four letters of failure
You never were the acceptance
Fair is the condition I'm in
This call is not to make you feel sorrow
I can always take it back baby
If you ever want me to I will
There is a hole at the bottom
I can always say it got crazy
If you ever want me to I will
Hands wanna get it off of the pillow
Knees wrap around the still darkness
When I have an answer, know I will
Calls in the other room say you love me
I can always see it's so baby
Be yourself
Be yourself so you won't fade out
Keep yourself
Keep yourself so you won't change at all
Anyone in a crowd
sees you fail to leave a definte scar
Don't you hold back now
See yourself
See yourself as one turned 'round
Free yourself
Free yourself or turn back now
Everyone in the crowd
Seems to think you're the greatest of all...
What if they found out?
Anything that you say
I don't know about it
What you see what you're sayin'
Just doesn't matter
anymore
Leave yourself
Leave yourself time to get it right
Keep yourself
Be yourself make the red hot white
Don't you hold back now
Everyone's full of sparkle and charm
Tie me up don't tie me down
Take it in and spin around let it go
Lead it through a train of thought
be released and let it talk let it go
And then I turn around to see a view
I wouldn't know if not for you
count to three, don't tell them all
how luck ran out on me like it did before
When I'm negative, no I'm not
soaking in what I forgot let it go
I read aloud what you have said
it's not alive, it must be dead let it go
And then I turn around to see a view
I wouldn't know if not for you
Your pack of lies my punky friend
don't tantalize, don't take me in
it isn't love, it isn't hate
you amplify what irritates
count to three don't tell them all
I take it better now than I did before
I hear you're waving me off
I hear you're moving on past
I hear you're sending me on
At last
I hear your time has come
I hope your time will last
And on and on and on and on
At last. At last.
Though I confront you I want you better
Start
This time I won't let it be...
Start
One thin time won't let it...
Start
How much longer will it...
Start
There it is again.
I hear your time has come
I hope you timed it last
And on and on and on and on
Got my feet up in a car
I'm not going where you are
It's my sanity or bust
And it never really was everything I wanted
Everything I needed
Everything Complete.
Everything you've ever heard
And there's not a single word to put your mind at rest
And yes I never guessed everything you wanted
Everything you needed
Everything. Complete.
I only hear what I want to, want to, I want to
And I just follow my feet, and I stumble on.
Everything you wanted
Everything you needed
Everything. Complete.
I'm almost giving it away
I'm almost near
I'm almost half-way home
Any day now, they'll have you down
Any way that they please
Sayin' just about everything
Any day now 'cuz I hear your voice
But it's not the same sound
All the luck, just in time to see it all come and go
There goes another one
Everyday now, I hear the noise, it's not the same sound
Take you by the hand and pull you around
I hear your voice and they watered you down
As if anything were different in here
All I know's, I'd like to shake it off forever
If it all turned out the way
We knew it wouldn't, I'd know
Not the same sound
Pat you on the back as they push you around
So the trouble got your tongue
and all you pulled it out together
Finally set things straight
sounds about right
Being something
well I don't think so,
you do nothing like I doubt you will
being something
What's that now and
what's that you forced?
Better known as the answer
What's that you now and
what's that you forced?
On you own it's just the same.
but you're sure it's for the better.
Always on the fence
well the words just won't ring true.
Being something
well I don't think so,
you do nothing like I doubt you will
being something
What's that now and
what's that you forced?
Better known as the answer
What's that you now and
Spent time far away,
spent your days lost in grey
and wishes I suppose
mean nothing when
they're tossed away.
And your form and your face,
like some place that I knew
still return to me now.
Oh well, I suppose
I've gone beyond
caring for those
who think like you.
And yes, I suppose
you were that way.
And yes, I suppose
I came to find...
All the way
to Boylan Heights-
How are you?
All the way but not today
they came looking for me.
All the way down to the park
there you are and you can't believe a thing
especially what you see.
Something kind of like a voice
makes its way across the desk.
You know we're gonna put you
in a cadillac.
You'll be laughing all the way
to the bank and back.
I really think I see you
Just like that.
Everybody wants to have it all.
At least there's a door a few feet away
from your chair.
There's a door and as you begin to stand
you take a last look at the man.
You know we're gonna put you
in a cadillac.
You'll be laughing all the way
to the bank and back.
I really think I see you
Just like that.
Everybody wants to have it all.
Nineteen and 70s Chevy
tricked out a time or two
I'll let the Nova
call the shots again.
Don't ask me what I think of this
I only think of that.
Try talking?
First I'll try to hum
It's just that my sum isn't adding up.
Oh, let me state my case
I do as I am told
Keep within the keep, feed within the fold
As I brush away the flies. It's so hard.
Don't ask me, I don't seem to know.
I'm a bit slow, yeah
Try walking?
I'll just take the bus
It's not worth the fuss--well, is anything?
Oh let me stat my case
I teach what I am taught
Filter in a fact, confuse it for a thought
Oh, I'd rather use my time to steep.
Well I keep my feet in the air
and my head on the ground
Oh, I'm walking around upside down.
When I stop I can't see you stare
I can't hear a sound

I was running Mary.
And the days were growing long.
And I was minding mine,
I was doing nothing wrong.
And the news you sent me.
And the bar's upon the door.
And this one caught me blind --
Couldn't stop me anymore.
Tell me how much do I forgive
'Cause you laid one in on me, but I'm all right.
Tell me how much -- this goes on and on.
I was running barely
And it's hard to face me more.
And I was minding mine,
So broken,
In pieces,
My heart is so broken,
I'm puzzling.
Here I go
Trying to run ahead of that,
Heart break train,
Thinking,
It will never catch up with me.
I'm so broken,

Pawns for a pauper's son
Handouts for everyone
Please release me with your smile
Ashes to dust again
Save that for mortal men
Please release me with your smile
And when I rise
And when you fall
That's the part
that weighs me down
The part that weighs me down
You are your own worst fears
Save them throughout the years
Please deceive me
with your smile
Anxious to understand
Who has the upper hand
Please believe me
Are you too young to play, too old to let me in?
One has his stone, take it, can you take it in?
And know when you laugh, oh how it'd make him grin.
Don't bat an eye, please won't you take in?
So wouldn't you like to try?
You're so alive and unusual.
I really don't think you'd mind.
It's not too dear,
it's not too difficult.
Think of this for awhile.
You might decide
it's not for you at all.
But if you should feel confined,
Then take the step and
you could leave it all.
"Seek and you will find"--
But I swear
Once in a while I can see through
What is real and what is show.
Saving my colds for your purest thoughts.
It may come and it may go.
Chorus:
In a holding pattern, standing still as statues in a row.
It's so hard to change the pose.
And if movement mattered, I can still be moved, so ask again
"Will they line us up in a row?"
Give me a glimpse of some distant time. (?)
Let me know what's in store.
Keep me in mind when you cross yourself.
I couldn't ask for anymore.
(repeat chorus)
And what am I too gone for you?
And when am I too gone?
And what am I too gone for you?
And when am I too gone?
Wasn't I once on for you?
And what am I to say?
Wasn't I once on for you?
And what am I to say?
One if by land, two if by sea, three if by chance.
Four for the door, five for the sky, six in my hands.
Chrous from: Shannon - "Let the Music Play." From the album of the same name
We let the music play, we don't get away.
There goes the music baby, we know how to use it, let it play.
Let the music play, we don't get away.
There goes the music baby, we know how to use it, let it play.
One if by land, two if by sea, three if by chance.
Oh the family has gathered at least the ones that matter
To mourn the loss of dear Sue
They saw her last night, she was feeling alright
She likes it this way I am sure
There is nobody's arms like dear Sue's arms
Just look here and see
I'm here for the ride any old time
I'll see you there, I'll see you there
I'll see you there, in shadows I see you in there
Daddy has manners he's brown as leather
And tough like a hickory tree
If son is a barn, then daughter is yarn
And another is an MD
She's fit to be tied when the family arrives
Just look here and see
I'm here for the ride, any old time
When you know a lady like this kind of lady
You know you've quite a find
A person of rarity, genuine as charity
Always a smile in her eye
There is nobody's charm like dear Sue's charm
Just look here and see
Oh, you never learned the "whens" and "wheres" and "whys"
And I still believe that you were dying to be everything
To everyone and for all time
Ah, the golden boy--did you stop trying?
Did it turn out stale, or did it simply lose its wonder?
Could you hold it up from out and under?
Does the distance seem to dim-dumb-dim your memory?
Does the distance seem to fell the hunger?
Chorus:
So you're left with your thoughts and where do you go
Out the window or an open door
And once you believed they could keep you awake--
It's so deceiving.
So you talk to yourself and what do you know
You answer back with a "Don't say so"
And once you believed you had something to say...
It's so deceiving.
So, you never learned the way to hold a crowd
And it turns out now that you were dying to be everything
To everyone and for all time
Ah, the golden boy--did you stop trying?
I got you, that's all I want.
I won't forget, that's a whole lot.
I won't go out, now that you're real (?)
Sometimes we shout, that's not problem.
Chorus:
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes you can tell that I'm not lying.
I got you, you're a pageant. (?)
You're everything that I've imagined.
But something's wrong, I feel uneasy.
You show me, 'til you're not teasing.
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
There's no doubt, of when I'm with you.
But I'm without, a stay in my room. (?)
But do you go, I get no answer.
It's always out, and gets on my nerves. (?)
(repeat chorus)
Before you sleep at night, do you ever think of me?
I often wonder what our years of distance mean
Honestly
Have you looked around to see an opening?
Can you find a way to get here back to me?
Honestly
No, I need a hand to keep this man away from you
I wonder what our years of distance mean to you
When it's late at night do you dance hypnotically
Can you feel my hand swing you gently close to me
Honestly
I try so hard to keep so far away from you
Imagine it's the best I can do for you
Carousel can you slow down and take me on?
I need a change of company
Can you go past the stopping mark?
Go until it's dark
It was hard to leave but it's harder to be free
Cause I feel the best when she's not leaving me
Well the steel in his strings
Cuts into his fingers
And the lines that are left
He knows so well
And the words that he screams
Sift through the smoke and sweat
While his wandering mind
Tries to tell...
To tell him he's uninspired
In some weary, absent way
To tell him he's simply tired...
Then the sound rolls in
And lifts him up and in to the place he should've been
Then the sound rolls in, and lifts him up and in
And when all has been drained
He wrestles with the feeling
Of an unfelt refrain that he knew too well
And the words that he hears,
Because they compliment
Are the words that he fears,
Because they tell...
They tell him he's uninspired
In some weary absent way
They tell him he's simply hired here.
Then the sound rolls in.
And lifts him up and in to the place he should've been
He's home, and for the
first time ever
he walked alone
in a world he'd once known.
He's home, just might be
for the better
he walked alone
in a world he'd once known.
They cheer to what you say
and it could be something.
Then they steer so far away
they're missing nothing.
It reeks of common sense
and it could be something
to live in elegance
as the story goes.
GO home, just might be
for the better.
You'll seem alone
Out of boredom, I decided I'd get with it
well, its dull, brown, and gray
like all the things we do
that don't go away
its like all the things we do
its dull, brown, and grey
Couldn't sleep so I went out walking
Thinking about you and hearing us talking
And all the things I should have said
Echo now, inside my head
I feel something falling from the sky
I'm so sad I made the angels cry
Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain
Tears from the moon, tears from the moon
It just ain't fair this thing called loving
When one step there and the other feels nothing
I would have done anything for you
I still love you, baby I adore you
All day I keep from falling apart
But at night when the sky gets dark
Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain
Stop, Stop haunting me
It should be easy
As easy as when you stopped wanting me
Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain
Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
but tears from the moon
can't wash away the pain
Tears from the moon, tears from the moon
Tears from the moon, tears from the moon
Who's gonna love me ?
Will you ?
I open my heart to you.
An expression of love so precious should never be wasted,
but cherished eternally.
And how long will you let me love you this way ?
Forever ?
Then forever I'll love you,
with a love supreme.
Don't give up your search for love,
it's worth the wait.

Change whatever gets strange in your aprons and your curls.
Ah, you really get lost, but you'll string it back together.
You could never make do, and your storyline is a scream.
Change whatever gets strange in your neverending...
All in all it's been quite a fall,
And these days are the days that I walk on,
It isn't that you'll understand...
If I disappointed you, I'm so sorry.
You're a disappointment too.
Fear whatever comes near to your neverlasting home.
Ah, you really got crossed and of course it don't get better.
You could never make do, and your storyline is a dream.
So surprised,
I fought windmills.
So surprised,
I saw angels.
I know my place in this...
So surprised,
I had visions.
So surprised,
You were in them.
I found my place in this world.
It's you I swear,
it's you I swear,
I delight in your despair.
(I'll wait for you)
It's you I swear,
it's you I swear,
Giving me the right
(I'll wait for you)
It's you who lied,
it's you who lied
When you had to swallow pride
(I'll wait for you)
It's you I swear,
it's you I swear...
So surprised,
Thoughts escaped me.
So surprised,
Words escaped me.

Well, today there's no salvation
The band's packed up and gone
And I'm left standing with my penny in my hand
There's a big crowd at the station
Where the blind man sings his song
But he sees, Lord, what they can't understand
It's the 33rd of August, Lord
And I'm finally coming down
Eight days from Sunday
Finds me Saturday bound
Once I stumbled through the darkness
Fell down to my knees
A thousand voices screaming in my brain
Woke up in a squad car
Busted down for vagrancy
And outside my cell, it sure as hell, it looked like rain
Now I've got my dangerous feeling
Under lock and chain I've killed my violent nature with a smile
Though the demons danced and sang their songs
Within my fevered brain
Not all my God-like thoughts, Lord, were defiled
Yesterday's newspaper forecast no rain for today
Yesterday's news was old news
So I threw it away
Some time's at night, Lord, you know
I can still feel the pain
And, outside my cell, it sure as hell, it looks like rain
Stunned I am bewildered in my bed
An overdose on something that was said
Rollover time measured by the mile
Feeling knots that never will untie
Flecks of dust dancing in the sun
A ticking clock ticking for no-one
The phone is still and still is what it's like
To hide the sun and sink into the night
Hanging from a tree is the passing time for me
Discomfort when the tonics simply aren't
Initials in the tree in the vein of misery
At least I didn't carve you in my arms
Did you know I saw you in a dream
Me on a limb, you looking up at me
I never smiled, you laughed until you cried
[Ali]
Yo, yo, yo, yo
[Chorus:]
Breathe in (breathe in) breathe out (breathe out)
Do the chickenhead go on let it out
Breathe out (breathe out) Breathe in (breathe in)
Put ya back in and let ya knees bend
Breathe in (breathe in) breathe out (breathe out)
Do the monastery go on let it out
Breathe out (breathe out) Breathe in (breathe in)
Put ya back out and let ya knees bend
[Verse: Ali]
Somebody move, nobody get hurt
This is official, man, only dance flo' experts
And party animals and me being a rhyme cannibal
Flamable Hannibal while it's bangin' it's understandable
Now back to somebody movin' nobody get hurt
My intentions on this one is the party wait up fa' sho
Now go to work and do the chicken (buh kah)
Do the chicken, and once you do it's cookin'
Believe me dirty it's kickin' through the door
Throwback Vokal valore
I see me a do it fresh off tour, head to the floor
Take it round, round, chickenhead breakin' it down
Created by my town the monastery is found
Or the Casino like Nino, I'm that nigga can see low
Prob' movin' all black, white, la-latino
There will be no extra space to waste
Pick up the pace, see your heart rate
And if you start to hyperventilate
[Chorus]
[Verse: Ali]
Right now, I hope you wit me
I'm a Wizard like Chris Whitney
When doin' it law breakin' the people won't come get me
First, ladies put ya drink by ya purse
Fellas tuck in ya shirt and put in biblical words
Sayin', ladies get ya dip right and ya hip right
Fellas ya betta find that and get behind that
Third, you can do it, shaken or stirred
Slow up per word and flap like a bird
Fo, do it some mo', five, make sure it's live
Six, ladies and fellas here we go now, SWING!
Seven, laid back like you lookin' for heaven
Let ya body preach like we in church and you the reverend
Eight, if you made it this far, dirty you straight
If not, you better practice and get it fo' it's too late
Nine, is this the time to prepare for the dime?
Ten: start all over again!
[Chorus]
[Verse: Nelly]
Yo, who got that, that fire?
That fire, I can't lie a'

Pass me that, that fire
That fire, I can't lie a'
I'm gon' off, that fire
Cause' nothin' else will do (ooh ooh)
[Ali]
It's like that party feel, 'Cris and Bakardi appeal
Fo' real nobody killin', so what, like a naughty wheel
Like Pac say, I got mine, gotta get yours
Take it lower than ya did before, control the floor
You can be county or city, ugly or pretty
Don't trust the tig ol' bitties, only do five to fifty
Now breathe in, breathe out
If ya got it goin' then show me what you about
[Chorus]
The Young ones will step away.
How long will it take them?
How long 'til it breaks them?
Just walking into a new day.
How long will it take them?
How long 'til it breaks them?
They fight and they seem
Just like us.
Unaware that they'll be
Just like us.
Yet you want them to see
Just like us.
And I hope to decide on my own.
Feeling apart from yourself, while your feeling.
When you're alone are you sure?
Guess you don't have to much left,
do you really?
Pick it all up and go.
Anyway...
Here's something to make you feel better.
I guess you will I can't see.
Here's something to make you feel alright.
That you'd kill just to be.
Keeping the friends that you keep,
do they keep you?
From coming to terms with yourself.
Even your shadow knows, how they see you.
Neither of you really cares.
Anyway...
Here's something to make you feel better.
A bitter pill at your feet.
Here's something to make you feel alright.
Make a wish wait and see.

Having a ball with yourself, your defeated.
Will you turn back to what's left?
Right at the moment it's clear, you conceited.
Will you go back to what's there?
Anyway...
Here's something to make me feel better
I got you out of my mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here's something to make me feel alright
Keep it simple and kind. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here's something to make me feel better
I guess you will I can't see. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There is no pain Jesus can't feel
No hurt He can not heal
All things work according to His perfect will
No matter what you're going through
Remember God is using You
For the battle is not yours
It's the Lord's
There's no sadness Jesus can't feel
And there is no sorrow
that He can not heal
For all things work
according to the Master's holy will
No matter what you're going through
Remember that God is only using You
For the battle is not yours

Yes It's the Lord's
Hold your head up high
Don't you fright

Only wants to use you
For the battle is not yours

You happen to go through right now
Remember that in the midst of it all
God only wants to use you
No matter what you're going through
For the battle is not yours
It's the Lord's
No matter what it is
That you're going through
Hold your head up, stick your chest out
And remember He's using you
No matter what you're going through
God is only using you
For this battle is not yours alone
This battle is not yours, no
You can not handle it all by yourself
No, no, no, no, no, no
It's not yours
This battle is not yours
It's the Lord's, not yours
This battle is not yours
The Lord is the only one who can fight it
He wants to use you as His vessel
So be open to Him
It's not yours
No It's not yours
It's the Lord's, not yours
The battle is not your's
It's the Lord's

Let your mansions live inside me.
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Cross of skin and naked figure.
Broken legs and crooked fingers,
Help me live for good tomorrow,
Today's too late and full of sorrow.
Light is good and dark is evil,
But I'm running around
Through the cross and through the steeples,
Trying to make it to higher ground.
Come on light, please live beside me.
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Pride and hate, they live inside me.
I need your love enough to guide me.
Help me walk across these borders.
I'm a pilgrim in deep waters.
Faithful God, like faithful sunrise,
Help me break from all these old ties.
Lead me all to that is holy.
Break these chains, but break them slowly.
God of light, light me some passion.
Green fields and lovely mansions.
Let your mansions live inside me.
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Let your mansions live beside me,
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Love me, light me, give me, guide me... (until song fades)

Come steer me now
Leave ideas in my head.
And I'll come alive
Or cover me instead.
There's a ceiling light above me
And a song that says I will.
And it's kneeling down upon me -- lonelier still.
Come hear me out.
There's more that I have been
Than figured out
And stunted end to end.
There's a ceiling light above me
And a space it cannot fill.
And it's bearing down upon me holding me still.
And I convinced you
That I would get there first.

A reason for honesty without even tryin'.

Don't you dream of happiness when you're feeling blue?
Sing to me sweetley as I turn sour
Lay me down, remembering
That the wind and the rain
Played a part in that dreadful hour
And so as I pass, I too feel the power
Laying here under the trees
Where three days before
I danced in a summer shower
Chorus:
And she said "There, look through the trees,
The sun always shines, always on time,
Dare, rest on your knees
And in a prayer, follow me there."
Softly I slumber as I turn to powder
Blowing out over the sea
The wind and the rain billow me
Though I'm no longer fire
A bird is alone as the wind takes me higher
Now I don't know where I am
The bird can't hear me
As I shout out even louder
(repeat chorus)
La la la la...

You never think to occupy my time,
And you never require.
And you never lean to much.
And it's always been this way.
It's wearing thin,
Your words come crowdin' in,
But I want you to know
It's the stuff that stirs me up and follows me away.
So write my name and carry my picture
There's nothing wrong.
I'm willing, I'm willing, I will lead you on.

[It goes 1..2..3..]
I'm giving up nuthing.
No maybe on your shit boy I'm scheming.
I'm solo numero uno the Eiht's fiending.
Just to get my hands on your goods.
Give me the slip boy you wish you could.
Geah you're kinda frightened by the Compton night stalker.
When I got you by the throat you better be a fast talker.
Times running out for your program.
Better hide from the Compton hitman.
What ch'you got in your trunk? Fool unlock it
As I put the pat down on your pockets.
The neighbourhood jacker's on the creep.
I bet your sounds 'll sound good in my jeep.
And tell your freak to get with the program too,
or she becomes black and blue.
No harm done, and I'm out before somebody can be told.
Episode one of the Jack Mode.
[Straight Jacking] Geah
[Straight Jacking] Wut?
[Straight Jacking]
[Straight Jacking]
I'm starving like Marvin and gots to get some mutherfucking Peso's
so I can dig out a few hoes.
And who should I game on?
Another fool that has to get jacked, its the same song.
Crease up the khaki's and shirt, and I'm outta here.
Who the fuck got jacked, I dont really care.
My money is funny and it just don't feel right.
I'm tired of cavi, cause the clucks just won't bite.
And now I'm on a mission to find me a sucker
and when I catch him I hope he aint a brave mutherfucker.
Give up the shit worth value
and keep your cool, fool.
Strapped with the mutherfucking 380,
release the safety, and boy your gonna hate E.
Another dome that must explode.
Episode deuce of the Jack Mode.
[Straight Jacking] geah.
[Straight jacking] unh huh.
[Straight jacking]...[Straight jacking]
[Straight jacking]...[Straight jacking]..[Straight jacking]
Damn I'm broke like a mutherfucker and now I'm at the point of no
return.
One more fool on my list that I must burn.
Spot a girl and she's draped with the jewelry.
This is Compton for life, y'all don't hear me.
Stroll to her car and played like I was wit it.
Half a blunt in my mouth and she asked could she hit it.
Handed her the blunt as I commence to start to lean.
So I could peep out the scene.
Fat links around the neck by the dozen.
She's giggling to much, naw don't tell me that she's buzzing.
The perfect opportunity.
And when she wakes up in the morning she'll be hating E.
Hopped in her car and we was set with a full tank.
And in my mind I'm thinking, 'bitch drive so I can gank'.
Its like that, the last episode has been told.
About a nigga in jack mode.
[Straight Jacking] geah...[Straight Jacking] Oh geah.
[Straight Jacking] Shhhh...[Straight Jacking] Geah, Eihthype.
[Straight Jacking] For the nine-deuce...[Straight Jacking]

And once said "please, some more"
And not even now and then.
Some place I know you swore
That you'd never go again.
I had this feeling once
That nothing was out of touch.
I found some comfort there
But that doesn't matter much.
And did we start digging around?
And did we start dragging around?
Be my burden
Christ, I'm certain I'm already bound.
I'm not ever quite together
I'm not sorted out.
You talked to me some more
And that was worth waiting for.
Sometimes I can't decide

Standing back before the angels get to me,
Well it seems such a sorry waste of time.
Holding back on these who want the best for me.
I guess I can't be blamed for trying.
It's really very funny how it wears me down,
Waiting for that something.
Hey you, well I'm sorry but it's time to let you know.
Hey you, and it's sounds a bit like preaching.
I'd bend over backwards to let you know.
Rolling back around the numbers on the wall,
Well it's sad 'cause I don't have much to show.
Standing back before the angels get to me,
I see you shuffle on the set when you stand inside it.
And there's applause raining down that won't last.
And it's the lines that I forget that keep me around, I guess.
For something better yet.
Now there are fair weather friends.
And there are fools besides us.
Who would learn every turn and twist somehow.
And they're standing in the wings, and the the half light flickering
Chorus:
Set the stage.
Hey I'll tell you about the part we'll play.
Set the stage.
Hey I'll tell you about the part we'll play.
Well I've been looking to the past
'Cause I've seen the future.
And there's a song coming on that won't last long.
And it's the roles that I forget that keep me 'round, I guess
Overthrown and unwise,
In your mother's eyes.
Overthrown and unwise,
In your mother's eyes.
(repeat chorus)
Overthrown and unwise,
In your mother's eyes.
Overthrown and unwise,
In your mother's eyes.
All right, pure delight
to see you stand in
all your glory.
Oh the joys when your boys
hit distant soil.
And I hope to try
to answer those who criticize you.
Lead the sheep in their sleep
to slaughter.
Won't abide, pushed aside
Let me know when you've decided
I'll decline when the sign
says "Over There"
Your game has a name
force and fury, fact and fiction.
Sound the call, and the walls
Coming home today,
a season spent away,
it is hard for me to see,
hard for me to say.
I like your face,
but I can't anymore.
It was quite a time
and I'm sure that I'm
feeling very clear for me,
very clear for you.
I like your face,
but I can't anymore.
Let's do it again.
I will recall
there are things
I could have done.
I will recall
there are things
I should have shown.
Did you find the time
to keep us both in mind?
Did you wander far from me,
wander far from you?
I like your face,
but I can't anymore.
Let's do it again.
I will recall
there are things
I could have done.
I will recall
there are things
I should have shown.
To dream is not to say
I'll take it anyway,
a year is song enough for me,
yet here we are today.
I like your face,
I asked her to stay here with me a while.
Oh, she said "no."
These words mean nothing, these thoughts won't fly.
Oh, she said "no."
And where would this lead us to anyway?
Oh, she said "no."
And I crossed the line in half the time, and that's insane.
Oh, she said...
Chorus:
"Hey now, keep yourself in town, won't you?"
And "daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?"
So I asked her to come back some other time.
Oh, she said "no."
These words ring hollow, these thoughts aren't mine.
Oh, she said...
(repeat chorus)
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn.
Oh well, maybe next time.
Yeah, I'm sitting here and waiting my turn.
Oh well, maybe next time, I will learn.
Oh yeah, maybe next time, I will learn.
(repeat chorus)
I'm sitting here and waiting my turn.
Oh well, maybe next time.
Yeah, I'm sitting here and wiating my turn.
Oh well, maybe next time, I will learn.
Oh yeah, maybe next time, I will learn.
