[Tupac]
Yah nigga, Drop the top on your muthafuckin ride
This how we do it on the west coast BAABBBY
Rollin' down the Four O Five
Gettin' high
White boys done wrecked their shit
Tryin to check my ride
I ain't being bootsy
Crusin' in a Six-o Impala
Drivin' like I'm in a Hooptee
car full of ballin' caps
keep yo hand on the strap
and take all the craps
Niggas know my steel-lo
all legit
but I'm drapped
like a nigga movin' kilo
Shit don't stop
cuz i can make that ass drop
make the front pop
And Hit the three wheel motion
All Day
Hit the freeway
take it easy, uhh
Let's slide
And pick-up some hoochies
ride
right back to the movies
High
talking back to the screen drinkin' liquor
Havin' big dreams of gettin' richer
I'm livin that
[Chorus (4x) (Tupac)]
Thug Life, y'all know the rules
gotta do whatcha gotta do (Stay True)
Big Stretch represent the real nigga
flex, Live squad and this mutha fucker catch wreck
[Stretch]
Thug Life
sharp as a roughneck
Shakin' the dice, we roll long, ain't nothin' nice
so the vice wanna follow us around (raize up)
Got 'em runnin' as we clown thru the town (blaze up)
Another one, had to throw another gun
Don't need another case
you can see it on my face son
But I ain't fallin' yet
And I gotta give a shout to where my ball is at
[Tupac]
Mophreme Tell 'em why the hoes dream
gettin high off a nigga like a dope fiend
[Mophreme]
Cuz I'm non-stop, and I'm always hustlin'
twenty four seven, ain't nothin buck
but when a young G's flippin keys for a livin'
Try to make a mill off the time I'm givin'
trippin'
I'm crazy
Can't nobody fade me
And I been goin' insane lately
And everybody tryin ta hold me back
I'm about to snap
You better move back
You know I led a.....
[Chorus (4x) (Tupac)]
Thug Life, y'all know the rules
gotta do whatcha gotta do (Stay True)
Maaaannnn, I don't worry about the Five-O
if they start,
cuz it's all about survival
Just stay smart
Keep your mind on your bank roll
always
stay ahead of these stank hos
These days
It's an all out rat race
And look at MEEE just caught another cat case
That makes three
My laywers getting cash up the ass
Don't even ask
Why I'm buck wild ?
Don't smile
don't laugh
To the young G's comin up
peep game
Don't let the money make you change
or act strange
Stay broke
It's all in together now
Keep pumping loud
till the crowd
bring the top down
Is that Tupac Thug Life ?
Hell Yah
Try to dirty up my name
but it's still here
which way do I turn ?
i'm strapped
Lost in the storm
I can't turn back
with that...
[Chorus (4x) (Tupac)]

Thug Life, y'all know the rules
Oh yeah, motherfucker
It's real
Y'all niggas hold your guns
Throw your guns down, put 'em down
Yo, we in the fields with heat
You fake niggas eat kid meals to meat
We street referees, we rock
jean jackets, thick shirts over turtlenecks
Certified doctors in hoods'll steal all your techs
But wait, roll cameras, Babyface money blowin like beach nut
Call off the mutts, it's me again
Ghost, your host this evenin
(Ladies and gents I'd like to thank you all for comin out tonite)
Tucks tight, all sharp, light up a bark, let's mingle
Fetch me a Remy Martin on Diamonds
Flair-laided Gucci joints, I never wore
I might give 'em to my brother-in-law
Fitzpatrick, ribs battered, worth more than Egyptian marrows
Borrow the God jewels, Gucci goggles
That's how the God do, Motown twenty-five
My office like Smokey's voice, little moist, but choice
We guzzle Dom's, smoke the scratchy throats
Live on the edge, bracelets, shades and classy coats
Jungle in the club, we play Colombo
Frost eat a snowman, frozen as the milky way
Ice on the floor, El-Producto in the sleeve
in the seam of his mink, he said "Don't drink"
Think before he talked, he walked like he ordered
Champ room down in Vegas, vendin machines
I sip Alize' compliments of E&J;
The streets is rough out here
Crack game came and had us years
What is a man to do? (Brother)
Tongue split
In the night
I woke up in blood
Red sheets
Wrapped tight
Dreamt I was drowning in mud
Now there¡¯s a beast in my mouth
It¡¯s out of control
Beats with will of its own
Broken my teeth withdraw my gums
I think that it¡¯s taken control
Spits out your emotion
Left a deep impression
Expression
Expression, makes me feel more expression
Life changed
That night
As rip chord took command
Spit balls
All the abuse
Were more than friends could stand
Now I don¡¯t think before I speak
I open my mouth to see
What comes out
A whisper or a shout
Some sanity or a scream
Spits out raw emotion
Looking for a deeper expression
Expression
Expression
Expression
Expression, makes me feel more... expression
That be me says it all
That be me has it all
Expression
Expression
Stutter Lyric
I really, I really
Whoa
I really need to know
I really, I really
Whoa
Or else, ya gotta let me go, oh

This time I really need to do things right
The shivers that you give me keep me freezing all night
You make me shudder
I cant believe it, I’m not myself
Suddenly I’m thinkin’ about no one else
You make me shudder
I really, I really need to know
Or else ya gotta let me go
You’re just a fantasy girl
It’s an impossible world
All I want is to be with you always
I give you everything
pay some attention to me
all I want is just you and me always
Give me affection
I need your perfection
You feel so good you make me stutter, stutter
If I could touch you I would never let go
Now you got me screaming and I can not shut up
Oh, now I’m lying on the bedroom floor
Barely even speaking and I can not get up
I really, I really, I really need to know
Or else ya gotta let me go, oh
You’re just a fantasy girl
It’s an impossible world
All I want is to be with you always
I give you everything
Pay some attention to me
All I want is just you and me always
Give me affection
I need your perfection
You feel so good you make me stutter
I really, stutter, I really, stutter, stutter
You knock me down, I cant get up, I’m stuck
Gotta stop shakin’ me up
I cant eat, cant sleep, cant think, sinking under
I’m sinkin’ under
You’re just a fantasy girl
It’s an impossible world
All I want is to be with you always
I give you everything
Pay some attention to me
All I want is just you and me always
You’re just a fantasy girl
It’s an impossible world
All I want is to be with you always
Give me affection
I need your perfection
Coz, you feel so good you make me stutter,
Finally brother after a while
The battle will be over
From that day when we shall lay down our burden and study war no more
The battle will be over
There will be no war
The battle will be over
There will be no war
she really WHANT'S me
but i got a phobia
AND she really freaks me
but i'm gonna swat her
i'm gonna swat her

she likes the buzzcocks
but what do i get
and she noise annoys me
i can't take any more

She's as gentle as a July breeze
Slippin' through the cottonwood trees
I was empty as a man could be
Until the day I found her
Times I find it hard to put into words
The Way I feel when I'm away from her
I'm like a man about to die of thirst
When I'm not around her
Oh, her love is like sweetwater
Fallin' from a summer sky
Yes, her love is like sweetwater
When my well
Is runnin' dry
It's in the passion of her soft caress
It's in the power of her tenderness
She can move me with her fingertips
And with a whisper she can soother me
She electrifies my heart and soul
With an energy invisible
It's so much more than purely physical
This feelin' flowin' through me
Oh, her love is like sweetwater
Fallin' from a summer sky
Yes, her love is like sweetwater
When my well
Is runnin' dry
Yes her love is like sweetwater
Fallin' (down) from a summer sky
Oh yes, her love is like sweetwater
When my well
is runnin' dry
Sweetwater

[Verse 1: Charles Hamilton]
Ayo n-n-n-niggers never wanna get credit when credits due
So they forever make me get better instead of lose
And any amount of money motherfuckers is makin
They can wager it on a battle better believe I'll take it
And any of enemy losin the second option
Just put the mic down right now and get it poppin
B-But I'm a cool cat and won't make it to that level
So I'm a stick to the drums b-base and the treble
B-b-b-but if you should fuck with nate then it's trouble
F-f-f-fuck us for real I'll pop your face like a bubble
The no gunplay just straight to the knuckles
Great with the hustle till I'm late to a puddle
Do you understand what I mean
I'll beat you with a branch from your family tree
You see the way we get down son you don't want it
And rob you like chris brown clown ya'll run it!
[Chorus:]
Nah homie whatchu mean whatchu mean
I wasn't clear enough? Did I stutter or something?
D-d-d-d-did I st-st-stutter or something?
Did I st-st-stutter-st-st-stutter or something?
Nah shawty whatchu mean whatchu mean
I wasn't clear enough? Did I stutter or something?
They say I talk a little bit fast
But if you listen a little faster maybe you can catch up bitch!
[Verse 2: Charles Hamilton]
P-p-p-people always sayin Charles you can sell
Lyrically you are a nuisance but you can't tell
I wanna beat they ass till my two hands swell
Yeah hit em upstyle like bluepaint trail
B-b-b-but since the new year I'm a new man hell
My team tight no way my crew can't gel
Like the wu clan the ku klan we roll od
You don't hold heat get a crew man hell!
N-n-n-niggas want me for free but relax
Me and my team proceed but lean back
No need to repeat the scene I've seen that
I'm a beat makin beast you need me scream back
D-d-dudes are some fooly fools of whos pop
Truth is the new 2pac you not
And when these fools flop you gon see whos hot
Charles the rap huey freeman from the boondocks you got it!
[Chorus:]
Nah homie whatchu mean whatchu mean
I wasn't clear enough? Did I stutter or something?

[Verse 3: Yung Nate]
F-f-f-flamin faggots thought they could battle with the irrational
Complicated compatible spittin I l-l-laugh at you
I undeniably spit fire without you tryin
You might need to put your rhymes on the trash can diet
C-c-c-cannot be converted manipulated and murdered
Destroy yourself if you've heard it invincible is the verdict
K-k-k-killin killas with german rulers I shoot for losers
Pop the tool just to remove his medulla
You you you niggas cannot see him demolish him or defeat him
Your resembling feces when compared to the demon fetus

A million niggas out there now I'm sick of em I'm sicker than
Ya'll sweeter than lickerish everything I have's ridiculous

Get off my couch, get

You let him set you up and you fell for it

Cause when you're replying
Kid, you need some thicker skin,
You don't take punches well.
You're just like your old man
But you're young and scared.
You're weak in your beliefs
And you've got so much to prove
And not a lot of time
Before they get to you.
So please, Stay True.
Yeah, you stick up for your friends
And you've got a lot of heart.
You remind me of myself
Before I lost my nerve.
I've been counting my mistakes.
I can see all that we've lost
And I don't want to talk
About the old days.
Disregard those clapping hands.
They'll turn to punches when you're down.
Disregard the critics' praise.
They'll be the first to tell the news
That you've sold your soul.
Disregard those dollar signs.
They'll buy the biggest house in hell
Where you'll live alone.
Just keep your head down,
Keep your friends close,
Hold fast to your beliefs
And, whatever else you do,
Stay True.
Believe me, when I say,
It's the hardest thing to do.
Stay True.
They'll kill you by inches.
Don't let them make a move.
Stay True.
Look me in the eye
And promise me one thing:
Stay True.
Nothing else matters.
None of this is real.
Disregard the cynics' path.
They'll buy a drink and laugh with you
While you trade defeats.
Disregard your fear of death.
We've all got a lot to lose.
Whatever else you do,
Take me where the sweet water flows
Take me where the winds of spring blow
As swaying as tide, bitter and sweet combined
I close my eyes...
Nothing to fear, there is no evil near
Only you and me
And water sweet, shallow but oh so deep
So very deep
Take me where the sweet water flows
Take me where the winds of spring blow
Different somehow, see so much clearer now
I open my eyes...
Wandering dim, deep down into the dream
Of obscurity
With water deep, bitter but oh so sweet
she really likes me
but i got a phobia
she really freaks me
but i'm gonna swat her
i'm gonna swat her
i'm gonna swat her

but what do i get

im gonna stay true and thats my attitude
Fields of stone piled over the bones of the dead.
Every minute tries to still their sound.
Fields of stone piled over the bones of my friends.
But their words won't join them in the ground.
Your name, your word, your verse, your world, not lost to the statuary.
Our chance, our hope, our love, our world, not lost to the statuary.
All of a life consigned to acclaim from a name.
"Sends a permanent shiver down my spine." *
All of a life consigned to a chair, or a chain.
"Oh death... I've flirted with you all my life." **
Fields of stone piled over the bones of my friends.
Their words still shake me with their sound.
Your name, your word, your verse, your world, not lost to the statuary.
I know I never make this easy
It's easy for you to disappear
You say give me something that I can go on
Together, yeah, anywhere but here
Sing it back
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Hey yeah
Oh oh, oh oh, oh...
And I'm begging you
Bring me back to life
I just can't stand leaving you alone at night
It's too late to go
It has taken me forever just to try to know
One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
And four to go
For the life of me
Don't know why it took me so long to see
Just stutter, stutter, stutter
D-... Did I stutter stutter stutter
D-... Did I stutter stutter stutter
D-... Did I stutter stutter
D-... Did I?
Sunshine
Blinds you if you stare but
Now I see it crystal
Crystal clear
So here I am
You can take or leave me
But I won't ever be anywhere but here
Sing it back
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Sing it back to me, yeah
Oh oh, oh oh, oh...
And I'm begging you
Bring me back to life
I just can't stand leaving you alone at night
It's too late to go
It has taken me forever just to try to know
One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
And four to go
For the life of me
Don't know why it took me so long to see
Just stutter, stutter, stutter

It's too late to go
It has taken me forever just to try to know
One for the money

And four to go

Don't know why it took me so long to see
Just stutter, stutter, stutter

Side door, you'll be the one
Side door, I'm telling you, won't be undone
Side door, we're coming on through
Side door, so steady, so gentle and true
Someone with whom to take the broader view
Lockjaw, you won't be the one
Lockjaw, you're out of date, old fashioned fun,
Something to make you sleepy in the sun
Nothing could be so simple
Give me a little bit more, you'll soon see why
She's hiding beneath her covers,
You're playing it a bit cool
Your heads up high, hang it down
And then love will come and see you
Happily on your way
Happy to find your way
Side door, you're letting me in
Side door, I'm shutting you, keep out of the wind
She's such a treat and oh, so masculine
Ground floor, you're letting me down,
Ground floor, show me the best place in town
Somewhere discrete, to let our toupees down
Nothing could be so simple
Give me a little bit more, you'll soon see why
She's hiding beneath her covers,
You're playing it a bit cool
Your heads up high, hang it down
And then love will come and see you
Happily on your way
Happy to find your way
Side door, you'll be the one (you'll be the one)
Side door, you'll be the one (you'll be the one)
Side door, you'll be the one (you'll be the one)
Beautiful disease
Trying to stop those fleas
Resist complacences
For what you seize
Sinister laughing in back corners of my mind
Provides my sustinence
A no handed attempt
A rude man at the front
The right bowed to but dead
Accomplished undertone
Shoveling to the def
Out of your other lips
But making me happy
Three in the front room
Are fucking on top of my bed
Uplifting opening
Old scars thought of as healed
Say your prayers for your hate
A nympho to yourself
And now my face it breathes my lies
And my lies, they make me drown

Blood that runs

All my life I've been in this
State of war and
I'll fight until the end of my time
Why wont you let me be me?
I'm resisting endlesely
refrein:
People are turning, yearning and burning
Always looking for something... I will stay true
People are waiting, wishing and wondering
What will you do, I will stay true
What ever you do, stay true
Turning the pages of
The life I've been leading
It has not been easy but
The pages are clean
I'd do it again
All my life I've been in this
State of war and
I'll fight until the end of my time
Why wont you let me be me?
I'm fighting endlessly
refrein
One day we will all be
Together, yet still able to see
The true fases of our brothers
One day we will all be free
People are turning, yearning and burning
Always looking for something... I will stay true
People are waiting, wishing and wondering
What will you do? I will stay true

Nessuno fotte il mio dominio
tanto meno quel figlio di puttana
quindi, questa ? la paga tu quando lo vedi spara
io voglio vederlo morto,
il cane non si ? accorto
che sono l'uomo a cui nessuno pu? far torto
lui che si ? intrufolato nella mia villa
ed ha preso carte che fotterebbero la mia famiglia
quindi, piglia questa ? la foto dell'infame
non tornare finch? il cane non smette di respirare
immagino che tu sappia gi? le regole
se verrai scoperto sarai l'unico colpevole tu
non osare fare un nome
altrimenti la sua non sar? l'unica esecuzione
una raccomandazione
assicurati che non scappi in tempo
ma pure che capisca ci? che sta accadendo
voglio che muoia pensando alla mia faccia
mi raccomando pensa non lasciare traccia
prendi le carte e scappa
verser? tutto sul tuo conto appena sapr? che la cosa ? fatta
ora vai, fai presto domani ? il grande giorno
d'adesso un uomo morto in strada aspetta un colpo
2° parte: Bassi maestro
ho ricevuto il messaggio
accetto l'ingaggio
vada per domani quando il tipo ? di passaggio
scosto le tende di questa squallida stanza d'albergo
colano gocce di sudore...le tergo
da buon professionista ho sfilato una lista con gli alibi
tu basta che domani non sali qui
per il pagamento ti far? avere le mie coordinate in svizzera
domani me la squaglio la citt? ? piccola
ho il passaporto pronto fatto da quel tipo belga
prendo il cash dopo smetto con questa merda
il tuo uomo l'ho inquadrato
veste nero, sovrappeso
lo chiamano spregiudicato
sti cazzi, so che sar? un lavoro da ragazzi
non a caso hai assunto un tipo che si chiama (beep)
ho qui un fucile tedesco che ? perfetto
lo inquadro e lo freddo con un colpo di grilletto
sta passando adesso
si muove piano adesso
sembra lui, s'? cambiato chi vuol fare fesso
l'obbiettivo ? nel mirino
clic clic bang (sparo) sei finito, conosci il mio stilo
3° parte: Bat
Sono nel centro del mirino sotto tiro
da una finestra di un albergo scorgo la faccia del mio assassino
cammino a testa alta fra la gente
guardandomi le spalle ma avanzando sempre con passo silente
la paura gela il sangue nelle vene
non so pi? cos'? male e bene
non so se conviene
urlare, forse scappare
oppure uscire allo scoperto
rischiando di farmi ammazzare
mentre sto indagando sul da farsi
vedo un cazzo di laser rosso che viene a cercarmi
con un balzo verso il basso mi sposto
un secondo dopo... cazzo esplode un colpo (sparo)
cerco rifugio in una via, ma nada
esplodono altri colpi e scappo dritto in mezzo alla strada
sono cosciente, ma la mia mente latita
il problema ? che fuggo dalla mia anima
rimango esterefatto non so cosa fare
muoio di freddo e non riesco neanche a respirare
incrocio il mio assassino va di fretta (merda)
this blinding hallway
c'mon c'mon
the feeling lonely
i'm off, i'm on

drowning out sound and innocence

if it's someday relieved
it never ends

i'll shut them up with a scream
you're telling me, telling me
everything my future wants from me
i'll be up when the fight breaks out, i'll be up when the fight's out
you're telling me, you're telling me

Rollin' down the Four O Five
Gettin' high
White boys done wrecked their shit
Tryin' to check my ride

Crusin' in a Six-o Impala
Drivin' like I'm in a Hooptee
Car full of ballin' caps
Keep yo hand on the strap
And take all the craps
Niggas know my steel-lo, all legit
But I'm drapped like a nigga movin' kilo

Make the front pop
And hit the three wheel motion
All day
Hit the freeway

Havin' big dreams of gettin' richer, I'm livin' that

Thug Life, sharp as a roughneck
Shakin' the dice, we roll long, ain't nothin' nice
So the vice wanna follow us around
Got 'em runnin' as we clown thru the town
Another one, had to throw another gun
Don't need another case, you can see it on my face son
But I ain't fallin' yet
And I gotta give a shout to where my ball is at Mophreme
Tell 'em why the hoes dream
Gettin' high off a nigga like a dope fiend
'Cuz I'm non-stop, and I'm always hustlin'
Twenty four seven, ain't nothin' buck
But when a young G's flippin' keys for a livin'
Try to make a mill off the time I'm givin'
Trippin', mad, I'm crazy, can't nobody fade me
And I been goin' insane lately
And everybody tryin' ta hold me back

Don't smile, don't laugh
To the young G's comin' up, peep game

Stay broke, it's all in together now
Keep pumping loud till the crowd bring the top down

This is a problem, it needs to be solved by you
So don't just lie there and make your excuses
It doesn't matter where we go tonight
It ends in disaster, it ends in disaster and
And I think we've gone full circle now
We've sat together, through every type of silence
There is in this town, there is in this town
And this house is built for somebody elses intrigue
And if things will go wrong then just let them go wrong
This is a problem, it needs to be solved by you
So don't just lie there and make your excuses
Late at night and i'm not walking home in the cold,
On my own, you dont half pick your moments to talk
about
The things you never wanna talk about
It doesn't matter where we go tonight
It ends in disaster, it ends in disaster and
And I think we've gone full circle now
We've sat together, through every type of silence
There is in this town, there is in this town
And this house is built for somebody elses intrigue
And if things will go wrong then just let them go wrong
How many people do ya hear say they've found
themselves?
At our age it just kinda happens so dont panic
I wouldnt bother talking to poetic friends cause its
more than likely they just wanna get their ends away
This town is emptied for the last time, for the last
I dream about stars here
I dream about bringing you a parade
we read foreign papers
pretend were hiding from an air raid
but I can't know,
why I always - Stutter
and she doesn't care
breathe the same air
I don't have a hope in hell
doesn't see
we could agree
this could be so blissful
and I will do magic
Houdini's rabbit lives here under my sleeve
I'd saw myself in half
then there'd be two of us always ready to please
but I can't know
why I always - Stutter
and she doesn't care
breathe the same air
I don't have a hope in hell
doesn't see
we could agree
this could be so blissful
this could be so blissful
this could be so blissful
this could be so blissful
this could be so blissful
this could be so blissful now ...
and she
doesn't care,
breathe the same air
I don't have a hope in hell
doesn't see
we could agree
this could be so be so be so be so
and she doesn't care
breathe the same air
I don't have a hope in hell
doesn't see
we could agree
this could be so
Seeing pictures of you in the beginning
Seeing pictures of you when you were swimming
Seeing pictures of you when you were in love
Like a [unverified] I was watching from above
Time is on the outside looking in
Time is on the outside looking in
Seeing pictures of you I may have been dreaming
Seeing pictures of you they keep me believing
Time is on the outside looking in

There are times when all we want
(Shake down!)
is just not to think at all.
(Shake down!)
there are words we sing along,
(Shake down!)
there are words we forgot.

(just say [what] just say [what] you are)

we should be doing something more

Never did I hear of a working class man
who was brought into fear by supply and demand.
A man, who was motha fuckin robbed from the start
by a corporate industry that supplies Walmart.
Big business is the trickle down economy effect
and their taking all the taxes of the money we get.
The tricks, they try to fool you say fuck no.
stay true to what you love, stay true to what you know.
Stay True, to what you love.
So true, Don’t let them give you the nudge.
Stay free, to what you believe,
cuz they lure you to buy when your deceived.
Stay true, don’t buy their excuse.
So true, don’t let them blind you from the truth.
Stay free, its up to you and me cuz you know what
they all need.
No one in hell can buy my mind,
sovereign until the start of extinction.
Purchase your life and luxury,
it’s the end of a new generation.
Your working 'bout your day by day,
waiting for some fuckin pay,
just to find your dollar is useless.
I never thought it would come to this,
your money’s in the hands of the filthy rich.
the puppeteer, organgrinder, collar too tight
stay true, til the end, in this tunnel its never bright
lights never cease too, in terrors gates,
you never never know, ya never ever know
retaliate, what we live for
positive, only love for
never wait, to shake up the suit and tie straight jackets,
You try to give a handBut then it's turned around
Because everyone is questioning
The motive and if its sound
Thinking there's a reason behind everything you do
They believe nothing in this world
Anymore is ever really true
Why does everyone question?
All the things that I do
Nothing it seems anymore
Is ever good enough for you
Why can't you just leave me alone?
And worry about yourself
Because chances are if you look inside
You're falling off the shelf
So you try to please everyone
But that never works out
It only causes chaos
Pushing you further from favor
They call you a lier
They say that you're selfish
They claim there's no good in you
State your sound. Wait for the countdown. Shout out
loud. This is the breakdown.
State your sound. Wait for the countdown. Shout out
loud. This is the breakdown.
We're up. We're standing them down... It's coating them
the cut. They shout on the ground. All out of motives.
Cascading rush, they crush the calloused and
uncivilized. B-Biding, c-calling, before the sirens
arrive.
(Whoa's)
CHORUS
1...2...3...4 We shoot stars, control the medicine and
smear art with nitroglycerine. When this starts, we're
blind to flaws. We can't control the blaze, calling all
cars.
We shoot stars, so seldom suitable. Confuse art and
pharmaceuticals. In white coats: They push too far.
What we lack. We take back, calling all cars.
K-K-K-K-K-K-K-Kapow. We shatter the sound. It kills
them faster than the gun. They fall to the ground.
We're calling our colors. The sentence just a lack of
trust disgusted citizens frown. Cessation slowly saw
signs... S-S-S-Shaking is down.
(Whoa's)
CHORUS
1...2...3...4 We shoot stars, control the medicine.
Confuse with nitroglycerine. When this starts, we're

Camel coat, auburn hair
Idle taxi, Leicester Square
Like a lion in black
Sends up the windows and leans on back
Honey's dripping from the trees
Order me a soda water
Rifles swinging at my knees
Order me a soda water
Said my castle in Nice
Sits on a cove, on a beach
Where a girl can move slow
In a pace she wants to know
So I showed him my cards
He was stunned by the scars
And he said, "That ain't right
C'mon now baby I'll hold you, that's right"
Honey's dripping from the trees
Order me a soda water
Rifles swinging at my knees
Order me a soda water
A tall, a tall
Now the way it all goes
Happens quick, we all know
This room late at night
Is where I'm keeping my candle bright
And I weave up these lines
Green and thick-rutted vines
Out the window they all grow
And oil slick in the grass below
Where I run, not a care
Oiled leaves in my hair
'Til I tense like a wren
And worry back on his kisses again
Honey's dripping from the trees
Order me a soda water
Rifles swinging at my knees
Order me a soda water
Honey's dripping from the trees
Order me a soda water
[Incomprehensible] swinging at my knees
Order me a soda water
Order me a soda water
A safety net for when you win
The gaudy map for where you've been
A pack of smokes for roads I'm heading
A promise that was never kept... at all
The hand-me-down that never fit
I stretch the wall but never kept
The smell of home or how it felt
When you were gone and I was left
Cause you know where you have to go
And these three will win if I know it
I know it you have to go
Sometimes stuttering is all you can hide
So when you get to where you've gone
Just drop a line so I will know
That it's not in vain and not precise but
A chance to leave that (was) never noticed
I know it you have to go and
These three will win if I know it
I know it you have to go
Sometimes stuttering is all you can
Hope for us or a machine
You made you're sock you
I fell through a tiny plastic cord
You have plugged into your head
To keep you warm from
When your love is on my mind
I think about you all the time
And at the way you look into my eyes
From every little thing that you do
I search your love and I feel good
Because for your love I'd stay true
You’re on my mind
For all the time
And my love flies
