She walks away, colors fade to gray
Every precious moment's now a waste
She hits the gas, hoping it would pass
The red light starts to flash, it's time to wait
And the black keys, never looked so beautiful
And a perfect rainbow, never seemed so dull
And the light's out, never had this bright a glow
And the black keys are showing me a world I never knew, no
World I never knew
She hates the sun 'cause it proves she's not alone
And the world doesn't revolve around her soul, no
She loves the sky 'cause it validates her pride
Never lets her know when she is wrong
And the black keys, never looked so beautiful
And a perfect rainbow, never seemed so dull
And the light's out, never had this bright a glow
And the black keys are showing me a world I never knew, no
Yeah, and the walls are closing
Don't let 'em get inside of your head
Don't let 'em get inside of your head
Don't let 'em get inside of your head
Don't let them inside
'Cause the black keys, never looked so beautiful
And a perfect rainbow, never seemed so dull, oh
And the light's out, never had this bright a glow
And the black keys are showing me a world I never knew
Don't let 'em get
(Don't let 'em get)
Inside of your head, no
Don't let 'em get
Inside of your head
Don't let 'em get
(Don't let 'em get)
Inside of your head
Don't let 'em get, no
Inside of your head
Sometimes you find
In the elevator
I pick my floor
And if I wanna battle
I pick my war
Every time
Every time
Every time
I was blind for a time now I'm fine
The choice is mine
When I get sea sick
On dry land
When I hear voices
Sayin' do what you can
All the time
Every time
I was blind for a time now I'm fine
The choice is mine
All the time
All the time
I was blind for a time now I'm fine
The choice is mine
The choice is mine
Oh, the choice is mine

Girl, she had a hold on me
She held so tight that I could not see

One day, one day I let her go
It hurt, it hurt so, you'll never know
The day I had to let her go
It hurt so bad that you cannot know
One day, one day I let her go

an innocent child in new orleans
a simple girl from simple means
walked the rails
rode her thumb
she hitched a ride with everyone
the regular, she'd rearrange
the girl knew how to chop and change
chop and change
chop and change
chop and change
chop and change
took a job workin late
jackin cars from out of state
she found no love in this town
so she'd never mess around
had no luck, but aint it strange
the girl knew how to chop and change
chop and change
chop and change
chop and change
Said I want you here with me, darlin' I need you
Can you see I got the yearnin'
We've all day, I want your love, your special way
I love, I love your smile, oh darlin' don't you drive me wild
I heard you call my name and I was callin' just the same
And I want you by my side and I'm yearnin'
I can't deny, you got a hold, a hold on me
Oh darlin' don't you let me leave
And I want you here with me, darling I need you
Can't you see I got the yearnin'
We've all day, I want your love, your special way
I love, I love your smile, oh darlin' don't you drive me wild
Oh baby what I would do for one minute alone with you
You got me trembling way down inside
And your love I just can't hide
When I was 13
My mom said
âSon, you're the one I adoreâ
Now I'm old and wise
When I see your eyes
You're the one I adore
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh
Will you be true?
Till life is up
Be the one I adore
You're the one I adore
Baby work me
'Till I won't look more
Baby work me
'Till I won't look more
Want you to work me baby
Lord how, make me feel it
Want you to do me
Baby I will do you to
If you do me
Baby I will do you too
Want you to work me baby
Don't it hurt so bad
Standin' in the sun
Bottom of your heart
You don't love no one
You can be, oh, so mean
I just can't see, no in-between
You know what the sun's all about
When the lights go out
What a way to live
Back of your class
End of the line
You're always last
You can be, oh, so mean
I just can't see no in-between
You know what the sun's all about
When the lights go out
See the moon
See the stars
From your lonely seat
In your lonely cars
You can be, oh, so mean
I just can't see, no in-between
You know what the sun's all about
When the lights go out
Lights go out
Lights go out
Though I never met you
And we spoke not a word
Ill never forget you
From the stories Ive heard
For you unknown brother
My baby's mothers pain
Cause your soul is in heaven
But your memory remains
Unknown
Unknown brother
Ill meet you someday
Unknown
Unknown brother
We walk through fields
Where children play
Your eyes shine bright
When you were a kid
Your sisters loved you
And all that you did
Big brother, big brother
Don't worry a bit
Your flame has not faded
Since the day it was lit
Your life was joy
Your mommas only boy
And when the skies are blue
Big brother
Theyre blue for you
We will smile like pictures
Of you as a boy
Before you retired
To Heavenly joy
Unknown
Unknown brother
Ill meet you someday
Unknown
Unknown brother
We walk through fields
Where children play
Whoa
My gears they grind
More each day
And I feel like
Theyre gonna grind away
Whoa
And the city blocks
They drive me wild
Theyre never ending
Mile after mile
I just don't know what to do
Im too afraid to love you
Heaven on Earth
Is in her embrace
A gentle touch
And a smiling face
Im just one wishing I was a pair
With someone oh somewhere
I just don't know what to do
Im too afraid to love you
All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think it's here to stay
What more can I do
Cause Im ringin myself dry
And I cant afford to lose
One more teardrop from my eye
Whoa
Im too afraid
Im too afraid
I just don't know what to do
With myself
Thinkin all the time
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Love me, don't leave me
Make me feel you need me
Kill me, thrill me
Don't you know that I will be
Callin' on you everyday
Till I get my way
Darling, I wonder
How you pulled me under
Kill me, thrill me
Don't you know that I will be
Callin' on you everyday
Till I get my way
Till I get my way
Darling, remember
The cold, cold nights in December
Kill me, thrill me
Don't you know that I will be
Callin' on you everyday
Till I get my way
Till I get my way
Till I get my way
I wanted love, I needev love
Most of all, most of all
Someone said true love was dead
And I'm bound to fall, bound to fall for you
Oh, what can I do? Yeah
Take my badge but my heart remains
Loving you, baby child
Tighten up on your reigns
You're running wild, running wild, it's true
Sick for days, so many ways
I'm aching now, I'm aching now
It's times like these, I need relief
Please show me how, oh, show me how
To get right, yes, out of sight
When I was young and moving fast
Nothing slowed me down, oh, slowed me down
Now I let the others pass
I've come around, oh, come around, 'cause I've found
Living just to keep going
Going just to be sane
All the while I know
It's such a shame
I don't need to get steady
I know just how I feel
Telling you to be ready
Went around the way for you
Did all the things you asked me to
I thought it was the perfect day
To see just open love to say
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be
I headed out to Lester Hill
But that just made me weaker still
She's got the kind of love I need
The kind that's never good on me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be
Walked into the battle blind
It happens almost all the time
The yard is kinda overgrown
And all those happy times are gone
But it doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Went around the way for you
Did all those things you asked me to
I thought it was the perfect day
To see just open love to say
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be
I headed out to Lester Hill
But that just made me weaker still
She's got the kind of love I need
The kind that's never good on me
And it doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be
Walked into the battle blind
It happens almost all the time
The yard is kinda overgrown
And all those happy times are gone
But it doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be
It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Here I am
I'm not here now, no, no, no
And I'll care for you
Hey, that's all I want to do
Hold me, love me, in your heart
And I'll hold you near
And I'll whisper in your ear
I'll take your hand
I will make me understand
My hand to God, I didn't mean to
After all, look what we've been through
Men come in different shades
That's how we're made
The little house on Ellis Drive
Is where I felt most alive
The oak tree covered that old Ford
I miss it Lord, I miss it Lord
These blood red eyes
Don't see so good
But what's worse is if they could
Would I change my ways?
Wasted times and broken dreams
Violent colors so obscene
It's all I see these days
These days
Watch what you say, the devil is listening
He's got ears that you wouldn't believe
And brother once you go to him
It's your soul you can never, never retrieve
These blood red eyes
Don't see so good
But what's worse is if they could
Would I change my ways?
Wasted times and broken dreams
Violent colors so obscene
It's all I see these days
These days
These days
All I see these days
All I see these days
Hey, can you see my cryin'
Hey, don't you see me dyin'
When I look into them eyes
I know that I did you wrong
The pain it lasted so long
But if you don't bring me back this time
I swear I'm gonna lose my mind
Hey, can you see me running
Hey, don't you know I'm comin'
There was a wicked messenger
From Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
He answered with his thumb
For his tongue it could not speak but only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall
It was there he made his bed
And oftentimes he could be seen returnin?
Until one day he just appeared
With a note in his hand that read
The soles of my feet, I swear they're burnin?
Oh, the leaves began to fall
The seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told but these few words
Which opened up his heart
Cant explain
No I cannot contain
Control
You have all my soul
Its all I do
Is baby dream of you
Fallin down
When you're around
You're the only one
You're the only one
I'm so wrapped up in your gaze
Hoping this is just a phase
But when all is said and done
I know you are still the one
You're the only one
You're the only one
Cupids bow has sprung
Now you're the only one
Mystery
Is what this is to me
Given up
I'm having no luck
Like a ghost
The one that I love most
Disappears when I get near
You're the only one
You're the only one
I'm so wrapped up in your gaze
Hoping this is just a phaze
But when all is said and done
I know you are still the one
You're the only one
You're the only one
Cupids bow has sprung
Now you're the only one
Uh uh only one
Oh boy, I'm alone with the moan
Oh boy, I'm alone with the moan
Oh boy, I'm alone with the moan
It'll do me no wrong
Somebody callin' on my
Somebody callin' on my
Somebody callin' on my
Keep on callin'
Keep on callin'
Call on me
Call on me
Oh boy, I'm alone with the moan
Oh boy, I'm alone with the moan
Oh boy, I'm alone with the moan
Keep on callin'
Keep on callin'
Yeah
She was made to blow you away
She don't care what any man say
You can watch her strut
But keep your mouth shut
Or it's ruination day
Well now shes long
Long gone
Shes long
Oh now shes long
Yeah now she's long gone
Like Moses through the corn
Well her eyes theyre rubies and pearls
And shes not made like those other girls
Her lashes flap and they smack men back
Like springs they bounce off of her curls
Oh now shes long
Long gone
na na na na na
Shes long
Oh long gone
Like Moses through the corn
Tell me where you're goin',
What is goin' wrong,
I felt you leavin',
Before you'd even gone,
Hold me now,
Or never, ever,
Hold me again,
No more talk,
Could take me from this,
Pain I'm in,
Pain I'm in,
See the moonlight shinin',
On your window pane,
See it leave you,
As faithful as it came,
Please yourself,
So you don't have to,
Be afraid,
Make amends,
Or carry on another way,
Another way,
Oh~oh,
Tell me what you were thinkin',
To treat somebody so,
The care he took,
The lengths to which he'd go,
The coals are hot,
To walk across,
Without your shoes,
But in the end,
Know that you've got nothing to lose,
Nothin' to lose,
The go-getter
Ill be the go-getter
Yes I am
Ill be the go-getter
That's my plan
The go-getter
Hi-fi boom box
Pretty girl in bobby sox
After party in a hotel room
Pretty soon there will be no moon
Stumble home in the pouring rain
Let the water eat my worried brain
Some days I just cant get along
I need a head to leave my shoulders on
Palm trees
Flat broke disease
And LA has got me
On my knees
I am the bluest of blues
Everyday a different way to lose
The go-getter
The go-getter
The go-getter
I gotta table at the Rainbow Room
I told my wife Id be home soon
Big ships approaching the docks
I got my hi-fi boom box
Mashed potatoes in cellophane
I see my life going down the drain
Hold me, baby, dont let go
Pretty girls have to soften the blow
Yeah
Palm trees
Flat broke disease
LA has got me
On my knees
I am the bluest of blues
Everyday a different way to lose
The go-getter
The go-getter
The go-getter
Ill be the go-getter
Thats my plan
Thats who I am
The go-getter
Out of all the things
You've ever done
This time I can't go back
When a heart gets broke
This many times
It's easy to lose track
Takin' all this pain
And you know I can't regain
The flame, oh the flame
Like a dreamer needs
Time with you
So unreal, baby
And all our life
Love for me
Is what you feel
Takin' all this pain
And you know I can't regain
The flame, oh the flame
Greater men
Have made it here
Only to turn back
So cut me loose
If you want
Or tighten up the slack
Takin' all this pain
And you know we can't regain
See her walkin' with a fella
Two of them so nice and mellow
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
My heart is broken, is open wide
Feel so down, deep inside
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Summer slipped by and still it's fall
Wonder what she done me for
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm too far down the deepest ditch
Too far gone to ever switch
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Drivin' on now without a care
Hope to catch you standin' there
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't forsake a desperate man
Hope you know that's who I am
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
One, two, three, four
Lean forward slightly, look straight at the speaker
And listen with a sparkle in your eye
As though you might be thinking
"Gee, this is the most wonderful thing I've ever heard in all my life"
Back in the day we were eye to eye
The thought of you has me runnin' wild
They say love lost will never grow
But hey, hey, hey I still love you so
Oh, when we met you know the sun did shine
From your eyes back into mine
Oh, if the sun shines no more
Hey, hey, hey, I still love you so
I'll beg the moon and the stars above
Bring me back my that girl I love
I know you're gone, you're gone for sure
Kings and Sons of God,
Traveled on their way from here.
Calming restless mobs,
Easing all of their fear.
Strange Times Are Here
(Repeat)...
The statue in the square,
Meant so much when it first stood.
People come from far and near,
To bless them if, Bless them if it would.
Strange Times Are Here
(Repeat)...
Sadie Dry Your Tears,
I will be the one.
To pull you through the Mere,
Before you come undone.
Strange Times Are Here
Ooh... ooh... ooh...
Ooh... ooh... ooh...
I don't wanna go to hell
But if I do
It'll be
'Cause of you
Any young man
Gonna make mistakes
Until he hits the breaks
My heart's on fire
With a strange desire
Ooh... ooh... ooh...
Ooh... ooh... ooh...
All those birds
On the wire
Are gonna say I'm a liar
But we all know
In the end
They never were my friend
My heart's on fire
you're wound up like a weapon
you've got an evil streak
they told me to stay away
but i was much too weak
yea you gotta stop, stop can't you hear me call
and singing gotta stop, stop it girl
yea you gotta stop, stop can't you see me fall
and singing stop, stop it girl
i hounded/hunted you forever
but you never saw
this love was so strong it shoulda
been against the law
yea you gotta stop, stop can't you hear me call
and singing gotta stop, stop it girl
yea you gotta stop, stop can't you see me fall
and singing stop, stop it girl
you tear me all apart
then act so warm
like being cooled by the rain
in the eye of the storm
yea you gotta stop, stop can't you hear me call
and singing gotta stop, stop it girl
yea you gotta stop, stop can't you see me fall
and singing stop, stop it girl
Stack shot Billy in the back of the head
Stack made sure Billy Lyons was dead
.45 pistol down in Stack's right hand
Sent him away to the Promised Land
Stack shot Billy
Stack shot Billy
Billy laid down and died
Stack Lee had himself an evil brain
Loved his gun and his sweet cocaine
But Stack got quiet when the shadows fell
Knew soon enough that he'd burn in hell
Stack shot Billy
Stack shot Billy
Billy laid down and died
Stack shot Billy in the back of the head
Stack made sure Billy Lyons was dead
.45 pistol down in Stack's right hand
Sent him away to the Promised Land
Stack shot Billy
Stack shot Billy
Gone like the wind
And the state it put him in
To hold his head high
When he really wanna die
And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that he thinks
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break
He's crazy from the pain
And can't get hurt again
And if he ever falls
I'd be sorry for us all
And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that he thinks
Is love, so he won't break
He won't break, won't break, he won't break
Right around the way
Is where they go to pay
Remedies and pills
To ease their ills
And you know the difference it makes
And you know all that he thinks
Is love, so he won't break
Wake up
Gonna wake up to nothing
Break up
The break up is coming
When you're heart is hollow
Another pill to swallow
Shake up
Got to shake up you're freezing
Make up
I'm gonna make up my reasons
I used to say i need you
But now i gotta leave you
[chorus]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that longed
It's so wrong
Hung up
Got me hung up and dragged
Rung up
Got me rung up and bagged
You took advantage of
The one who showed you love
[chorus]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that longed
For so long
So long
Well, the crooks are out
And the streets are gray
You know I wouldn't have it
Any other way, yeah
Your mother's words
They're, they're ringing still
But your mother
Don't pay our bills, yeah
A sinister kid, is a kid who
Runs to meet his maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Straight into his makers arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be
I got a tortured mind
And my blade is sharp
A bad combination
In the dark
If I kill a man
In the first degree
Baby, would you
Would you flee with me?
A sinister kid, is a kid who
Runs to meet his maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Straight into his makers arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be
A sinister kid, is a kid who
Runs to meet his maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Straight into his makers arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
She said, "I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad"
And she's making me feel like I never was born
I said, "Who put all those things in your head?
Things that make me feel like I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I never was born"
She said, "You don't understand what I've said"
I said, "No, no, no you're wrong, when I was a boy
Everything was right
Everything was right"
I said, "Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're makin' me feel like I never was born"
She said
She said
She said
You hold on to love that's gone
Run a mile to see him smile
But you don't know he's door to door
Playin' you for the fool
Let him go
Walk out your door
And come to me
I'm gonna set you free
Now you know, there you go
Back to him, he's gonna do you in
Tear you down and run you 'round
Treat you wrong and then you're gone
Let him go
Walk out your door
And come to me
I'm gonna set you free
You hold on to love that's gone
Run a mile to see him smile
But you don't know he's door to door
Playin' you for the fool
Let him go
Walk out your door
And come to me
I'm gonna set you free
I'll set you free
I'll set you free
I'll set you, I'll set you free
It don't matter where you've been
The people try to do you in
Everyday till dawn
There's some thieving going on
Oh...
Oh no...
And he sung...?
Just the same old thing
Just the same old thing
No matter how much love you try to ban
Just the same old thing
You gotta count as hard
From being torn apart
Now you labor everyday
Love life dreamt away
Oh....
Oh no...
And It needs on...?
Just the same old thing
Just the same old thing
No matter how much love you try to bring
Before she hits the ground
She's going to want to explode
Got to step aside
Never run and hide
She holds it all above us
That pretty head of hers oh
It comes screaming out
In and out of a electric show
She's the worst thing
I've been addicted to
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
I run right back
Run right back to her
I'm going to jump the track
I run right back I'm sure
(echo)
I run right back to her (x3)
Well she's a special thing
She doesn't read to much oh
There is no doubt
She ripped hers out
Finest exterior
She's so superior, Ohh
What she wont allow
And I want it now
She's the worst thing
I've been addicted to
Ah no
Oh no
Oh no
I run right back
Run right back to her
I'm going to jump the track
I run right back I'm sure
I run right back to her
(echos)
I run right back to her
I run right back to her
Run me down in the winter, run me down spring
Got to the place, can't do a goddamn thing
But after a while, you ain't gonna run me down anymore
Run me down in the city, run me down on the farm
Run me with your eyes and your heady charm
But after a while, you ain't gonna run me down anymore
I do for you, Lord do for me
You run me down, where you want me to be
It happened when I heard her name
Same old thought crept back again
Ohh no, let go
Somewhere in my sorry state
Lightning struck that old iron gate
Oh its true, yes it true
(So no one told the winner wins)?
Smacks you on your cheeks again
Its them, Its them
I heard you're cool, you're mellow.
Pick 'em up, just ta let 'em down.
It's shame, baby, but I always know...
Just the way, you're gonna do, oh no-oh.
Oh, no-oh
Just a psychotic girl,
And I won't get lost in your world.
Friday night, the party light.
You were actin like...
Everything was alright.
But later on, with no one around...
Had me fightin for air,
Layin on the ground... oh-no
Oh, no-oh
Just a psychotic girl,
And I won't get lost in your world.
Interlude....
I thought you'd change,
But I shoulda known.
You play nice 4 times,
And then do me wrong.
I thought long and hard 'bout what I should say
When life was at school, it just come out this way.
Oh no
Oh no-oh
Just a psychotic girl,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Well the road
It overtook me
To the point
Where I was blind
My body was weak
But not as much
As my mind, oh my mind
I just can't get
Can't get my feel
Of those hills
Oh but still
No matter where I am
In this land
I feel alone, when I'm not at home
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
So if you
If you see me
Conquer down
In your town
I'm just watchin' the clock
On the wall
Till' I can go to the place I love most of all
Radiate
Or just wait to die
Break your back
And never, never wonder why
Get me home before I
Before I lose my mind
I need some space to let my
My tape rewind
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
With guilt that no man should carry
Heavy enough for me to get buried
I feel death on the road tonight
It's got me to where I wanna run and hide
Oh I used to dream of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all
Those days gone
These days I'm so slow
All these thoughts and no where to go
My aim used to be so true
And my world had a place in it just for you
Oh I used to dream of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all
Those days gone
Excuse me I gotta go
Can't stand to be here anymore, no
I'm sick and I gotta go to bed
If I stay here I'm better off dead
Oh I used to dream of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all
you walk around in other town
i've seen you out just hangin around
its what you choose and i suppose
you'll meet me one day
meet me one day
you throw away every other dream
taking over baby to the dollar machine

Midnight is in her eyes
Tear drops like a child
You never thought about goin' wrong
Now you wonder where your man has gone
Midnight is in her eyes
Lately you're feeling low
Heartache on the floor
Your manic ways have got the best of you
But your heart is gonna see you through
Lately you're feeling low
I see her everywhere
Long amber hair
Calling out my name
I'm calling just the same
Midnight is in her eyes
Tear drops like a child
You never thought about goin' wrong
Now you wonder where your man has gone
Midnight is in her eyes
Is in her eyes
Is in her eyes

They're gonna ease your pain and sorrow
But we heard the same before
All my lovin' friends
Takin' nothin' home
And I can't be the one
To let trouble come
All their homes are broken
And what are they gonna do
There's no magic potion
Their layin' days are through
Love and lust
Go hand in hand
Everything turned to dust
In our promised land
Take away the chain
And watch it pass you by
While your lies are red
Make me wanna cry
In these modern times
Gonna scream it on a mountain
To every valley wide
It's all your money they're countin'
And to your face they lie
Put on your work boots mama
In your morning gown
Tell me day to day
They're already in the ground
See the way they explain
Watch it pass you by
Would you die for it?
Leave me alone to cry
In these modern times
In these modern times
When I need to replace her
I am the Mind Eraser
Anything goes, yeah, any-thing goes
Got this sin in our brain
But she ain't gonna see me again
See me again, this I know
But Oh, deep down I can't let go
Oh, now let it be over, over
Oh, now let it be over, let it be over, over
Seen me stack up my woes
Into a wall, around a rose
Now I'm the rose, now she knows
Oh, it hurts so, and I can't let go
Oh, don't let it be over, over,
Oh, oh, don't let it be over, let it be over, oh oh
Oh, don't let it be over, over
Said the moon was ours
Yeah
Said the moon was ours
The hell with the day
The sunlight is always
Gonna take love away
Brings up suspicions
And alibies
But I can see blue
Tear-blinded eyes
Lies, lies, lies
Ohh, lies
I got a stone
Where my heart should be
I got a stone
Where my heart should be
And nothing I do
Will make you love me
I'd leave this time
Break all my ties
Be no more
Use for any disguise
Lies, lies, lies
Ohh, lies
I wanna die
Without pain
I wanna die
Oh, without pain
All this deception
I just can't maintain
The sun, moon
The stars in the sky
It'd hurt me too bad
If you said goodbye
Lies, lies, lies
Goin' upstairs to pack my leavin' trunk
I ain't seen no whiskey, woman make me sloppy
Seen no whiskey, woman made me drunk
Goin' back home, where I had much better luck
Look here darling, want me to be your king
Said you're kiddin' darling, gotta keep it hid
Don't let your main man
Your husband catch me here
Don't let your main man
She's all mine
She mine, all mine, all mine
I love the way she walks
Yeah, she walk good
I love the way she talks
Aw yeah she talk good
Keep your hands off of my girl
She don't belong to you
Love her, I love her, I love her
I love her, I love her, I love her
Keep your hands off of my girl
when it come to pride
and other sinful matters
you're gonna be misled
left feelin tattered
i got to go because
something's on my mind
and i won't get better
no matter how hard i try

but now i find it
in familiar faces
i got to go because
something's on my mind
and it won't get better
no matter how hard i try

Will you let me know how you've changed?
I can't tell in any way
Little village is not a town
Just couldn't tie me down
She sent a message to my mind
Without reason, without rhyme
Happiness will come around
Just couldn't tie me down
Feel the wind hit your skin
I see the shape, put me in
Saw you talking, heard the sounds
just a little heat
on this cold day
you know it would take my
worry away, worry away

In the afternoon

In a darkened room
Just after evening fall
And I will be here
Be here

River town is burning, the clouds they roll on by, roll on by
She said I'm alright if you're hangin' on
Well, I need you, need you by my side
Lonely evenin', eyes are open wide
Nothin' you say could make me turn my back
Well, I see you and you see me too

No matter where I'll be I'll find that girl and she satisfy me
Have love, will travel. X2

So look for me walkin' just any old way
Have love, will travel x2
If you need lovin, oh baby I travel
I got up this morning
Put on my shoes
Tied my shoes
Went to the mirror
But I combed my hair
I made a move
Know what to do
Tried to break and run
Baby, this ain't me, baby, this ain't me
Grown so ugly, grown so ugly
Don't even know myself
Don't even know myself
Left Angola, 1964
Walking down the street
Knocking for my baby, now
My baby come out and ask me who I am
I say, honey
Honey, don't you know your man?
She said my man been gone since 1942
If you wanna go and leave your man
Go on, I'll understand
But then the night gets dark, all is still
Pray for me, I know you will
Hard row to hoe all by yourself
We hit the city and it swallow you whole
You got no friends darlin' to satisfy your soul
And then the sidewalk ends, lights all red
You say it yourself, better off dead
Hard row to hoe all by yourself
Walk out on me, walk out on him
You need no man to do you in
But if the night gets dark, all is still
I'll pray for you, you know I will
Hard row to hoe all by yourself
Well I came
To see
And what I found
Was not alright with me
Their desperation, suffocation
Ain't it been the same thing
All along
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Now I know
Times are changin'
And the people
Need rearrangin'
So now
It's written
Here in song
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Our boys
Are fallin'
Our leaders
Are all appallin'
You convey
By god
Good will is gone
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Oh, goodbye Babylon
Follow you down
Hold your hand
Make you realize
I'm the only man
Who got the will
And the way
To be the one to give my heart away
Late at night
When you lay
In the bed
That I made
Who will leave
No dismay
And be the one to give their heart away
I'm long gone
In outer space
No one here
Is gonna take my place
So bye bye baby
I'm goin' away
And no one there will give their heart away
Yeah
Right
My head is tired
but my eyes still see
when the fire hits your belly
do you ever think of me?
Door swung open
and who did appear?
all the warmth I was lovin'
and to my heart was dear
She said don't retrace
what's said and done
if her words didn't hurt like bullets,
my tongue wouldn't be so numb
cannot be so weary
my mind's run blank
I just caught a flash of silver
Well everywhere I go, ain't got a thing to do (I got a thing for you?)
Well everywhere I go, ain't got a thing to do (I got a thing for you?)
Now little baby, now let me tell you what I'm goin' to do
Now little baby, now let me tell you what I'm goin' to do
And everywhere I go, ain't got a thing to do (I got a thing for you?)
Well it's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
Count down the times I tried make you mine
Cryin' out - Count down the times I tried to - Tried to make you mine
Well my heart goes out to you in your time of need
But you cause me pain most every time you breathe.
Cryin' out- cause me pain every, every time you breathe.
Well you said you'd love me 'til death took you home
But you stayed out late always doin' me wrong
Cryin' out - stayed out late always - always doin' me wrong
So I'm leavin' in the morning if I have to ride them lines
You done stole my heart but you can't take my mind
Cryin' out - stole my heart but you - you can't take my-
Well you stole my heart and damn near drove me mad - I gotta get back home to my mama and dad
Well, I'm busted
Yes, I'm busted
But my heart
Won't let me die
If you feel alright, darlin'
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round
If you love me
Like I love you
Please, won't you
Let me know?
I'll play it all night, darlin'
Walk through my door
Walk through my door
Walk through my door
Well I hate to leave you, hate to put you down
But that way you love darling, no I'm Brooklyn bound
I ain't got no money, no house on that hill
But that way you love darling, no you give me my fare
Well I'm leavin' you babe and say, "Fare you well"
(Instrumental)
What's behind
Your black door
I wanna know
I wanna know, yeah
May take a week honey
May take more
I wanna know
I wanna know
Got it down
Your condition
I wanna know
I wanna know
It will end
My suspicion
I wanna know
I wanna know
And I see
It start to open
Can't you hear me?
You're just like time
Except you can still feel the shame
All hands on deck, now
The sea is getting rough again
You see him out your window
Even when you close the blinds
And all you ever wanted
Was someone to treat you nice and kind
Take a step before runnin', yeah
Take a breath now before you die
When you work the streets, darlin'
Make sure your sneaker laces, they get tied
I be your black bird darlin'
Hanging on your telephone wire
Flap my wings, oh yeah
He found all hands against his own
Found all eyes were looking down
And the sun had left and gone
All his friends could not be found
Don't talk about, don't think about love
She's not the one you're dreaming of
Don't talk about it, can't live without it
You say you're alone
He found all hands against his own
He found the sky, it turned to gray
And the clouds start rolling in
Got no use for what they say
Got no use for where they've been
Don't talk about, don't think about love
She's not the one you're dreaming of
Don't think about it, can't live without it
You say you're alone
He found all hands against his own
You say you're alone
He found all hands against his own
You say you're alone
He found all hands against his own
You say you're alone
He found all hands against his own
He found all hands against his own
And no light from up above
Just a dark and lonely road
I'm on an airplane
Close to sea
Going nowhere
I wanna be
Distant lands
Don't know who I am
Eyes are heavy
Mind is shook
Can't feel
Drugs I took
Distant lands
Don't know who I am
Take your seat
Don't be shy
You got to remember
You're gonna die
Distant lands
Don't know who I am
Don't know who I am
Where'd you get those fancy clothes?
Where'd you get those goodness knows?
Just show some civility
Act nice, act nice and gentle on me
I don't need no luxury
As long as you are understandin'
I'm not difficult to please
Act nice and gentle on me
I am the kind of guy
Who likes to take you as I found you
Throw away your false eye lashes
Act nice, act nice to me
Hold my hand
Understand
Act nice
Act nice, act nice and gentle on me
Hold my hand
I understand
Be gentle on me
[ But there's one voice that has never been heard before
The voice of old Mr. World himself
The way he might sound if he could speak to us in our own language
Mr. World
How was this wonderful orderly Earth of ours formed in the first place
And how long has it been goin' on? ]
[ I am the earth,
The planet you call home,
Scientist believe I'm at least four and a half billion years old ]
[ Going to north of Jacksonville
Will meet tomorrow morning in the parking lot
We will be gone most of the day
We will take lunch with us in I understand
Uh, there will be three or four cars going ]
What about the night makes you change
Oh from sweet to deranged
What about my voice tells you
Who's been wrong to you, yeah
You've got pains like an addict
I'm leaving you
You've got pains like an addict
10 A.M. automatic
Come on, yeah
I see darkness cover us
And your car kicks up dust
What about my ways makes you doubt
All these words from my mouth, here we go
You've got pains like an addict
I'm leaving you
You've got pains like an addict
I could take the pitchfork from the devil
Keep a super suit like I’m incredible
From the deep, blue sea to the dark blue sky
I’m the baddest man alive
I’d grab a croc and I’d bite his tail
Hack off the judge, and put a guy to jail
Make the meanest woman break down and cry
I’m the baddest man alive
I’m the baddest man alive
I take no measure, I take no jive
Sometimes I feel like I can fly
I’m the baddest man alive
I’m the baddest man alive
Don’t plan on being bad, but I’m bad beating pussy
My name Pete Thompson, and you knock on wood,
Teddy bear hoops, I tell rise your hood
Flashing macs on a cop, the way a gangster should
I snatch food from the top of a tiger
Take a gasoline path and I walk through fire
Bear hugger grizzly, suck milk from a titty
Take the soldier hat from its head and use it for a Frisbee
Spit in the crocodile face, have a menage a trois, but two female apes
And sleep in the bad boy butcher knifes
I drank honey straight from the beehive
Bungee jumping off the Empire State butt-naked
Promenade across the Golden Gate, butt-naked
With the baddest man alive, and I don’t plan to die
When the drill peoṗle come I look all white and inside
I plus up in the face of the rich Upper East
Cause I’m a great white shark, they go and brush his teeth
I’m the man who stole the golden fleece
And I date rape you right in front of the peace
The baddest man alive and I don’t plan to die
I’m the baddest man alive
I take no measure, I take no jive
Sometimes I feel like I can fly
I’m the baddest man alive
I was a movin' man in my younger days
But I gone out of my ramblin' ways
I left that road so far behind
Now I know, oh babe
I got mine, I got mine
I got mine, oh baby I got mine
Baby when I roll, I roll deep
Some are told, I couldn't get no sleep
Oh I can get a lesson all the time
Now I know, oh babe
I got mine, I got mine
I got mine, oh baby I got mine
Who I got mine, I got mine
I got mine, oh baby I got mine
Wake up
Gonna wake up to nothing
Break up
The break up is coming
When you're heart is hollow
Another pill to swallow
Shake up
Got to shake up you're freezing
Make up
I'm gonna make up my reasons
I used to say i need you
But now i gotta leave you
[chorus]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that longed
It's so wrong
Hung up
Got me hung up and dragged
Rung up
Got me rung up and bagged
You took advantage of
The one who showed you love
[chorus]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that longed
For so long
So long
I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
I called my congressman and he said Quote:
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
I play on the black keys
where i don't have to worry much
it's already hard enough
to write a song about this
some people try the white keys
but the thinking hurts my head
so i move back here instead
and it comes easier
and you'll know why
when you're the one who's on
the grieving end
you just wave goodbye
and you wonder if you'll ever
breathe again
that's why....i play on the black keys
when it already takes my best
to pretend that this big mess
isn't happening
yeah i play on the black keys
so that i can close my eyes
try to picture you beside me
singing harmony
and you'll know why
one day i will try and explain it all
but if you don't mind
i'd like some time to try and
play it off
if i ever thought it would come to this
the beating and the bleeding
then i....
in my every thought i cherished you
and i mean it, i mean it now
i should've tried to say it better, better...
that's why i.....
