If you take me back, back to your place
I'll try not to bother you, I promise
'Cause it's cold in here and I wish it was hot
The sink's broke, it's leaking from the faucet
I'm fractured from the fall
And I wanna go home
But it takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take only one
Well, my money's no good when I'm up to no good
No good ever comes from it, honest
I got a really good heart, I just can't catch a break
If I could I'd treat you like you wanted me to I promise
But I'm fractured from the fall
And I wanna go home
I'm fractured when I fall
And I wanna go home
It takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take one
You come for me in the worst of places
You come for me, you come and try to take me home
I'm always in need and it's hard to be reciprocating
The fabric of our life gets torn
And everything's changing so how i am to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
You an i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows
He says her name, it echoes in my head like it was a canyon
He says her name, he says it and i know what's up
You come to me sometimes when i'm thinking like a cannonball shooting out a canyon
And i forget whatever it was i was thinking about
With everything changing how am i to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
With out and i together
But only one of us in love
I am a broken toy
For a lonely girl
Use once and destroy
And go find some more
Back home, kids play in the leaves in the park
She wants to play a game of hearts
I'm the rag doll boy
With broken eyes
She only comes to me
When it's raining outside
Back home, kids play in the leaves in the park
She wants to play a game of hearts
I fell for you
I fell for you
Why?
I guess I wanted to play too.
Here's the lonely string
Playing 'long in my head
For only just my arms
Are dancing marionettes
Back home, kids play in the leaves in the park
And she wants to play a game of hearts
You come through the door like a bag of rocks
Wounded all the time
And I'm inside the tomb with the t.v. on mute
Elijah don't you come
Oh god don't you come
I steal out the window like I'm using the door
Whispering willows outside
Turn into statues of you, fangs exposed
Breathing fire
Elijah don't you come
Oh god don't you come
Locate the coffin and procure the ring
I'll distract Gabriel
Its your destiny after all
Just go
And don't you ever look back
Kiss me again
And don't you listen to the voices in the past
They lied
When you see the lights don't you dare go in
Find your way back to the house
And the wind upon gate
When the gate swings
Back and forth
That's the sign
And we are never coming back
Once the signal is fired
When you're in the room I am under the bed
I am inside your soul
I cover your mouth
Hands just as ice
Screaming Elijah
Oh Elijah come down
Come and take your award
Locate the coffin and procure the ring
Ill distract Gabriel
Its your destiny after all
Just go
And don't you never look back
Kiss me again
And don't you listen to the voices in the past
They lied, run away from the light run away from the light
For all the hours here that move too slow
There's all this letting go, that don't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
Today is yesterday when you don't know
How to rebuild the walls that someone has knocked down
To tell the truth it's hard enough about a lover
Who you want to hide your darkness from
So they won't let you down
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try and be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
For all the hours here that move to slow
There's all this letting go, that won't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
And if were only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger than you
Our love will always be
If we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
Heart stops beating, all the words worth repeating
She is dancing but not singing, is it maybe that she doesn't know the words?
She's dressed up, but don't worry, she's got friends
Snowflake eating, she is mildly self-defeating
And the secrets that she's keeping they are really only dangerous to her
Ships ain't sinking
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
Because tomorrow comes and no one calls
She stops grinning when the room it starts spinning
She is losing all her winnings, she's angry but it's just the alcohol
She's all fucked right up, it's okay, man, she's got friends
'Cause we are here to help her sing her songs
We are here to help her sing her songs
Because tomorrow's gonna come
Tomorrow's gonna come, and no one's gonna call
This isn't Christmas, this is Chinatown and those are pretty lights
Just use some more and put 'em on your make-up dolls
A painting on the underneath that never smiles on the scene
Is just like Christmas if it was Halloween
Someone taught her it's okay to be a martyr
Like an educated angel, be a rat, you know in all the things you love,
Well okay
Priceless pictures, she's collected iceless fixtures that is freezing from the people
She's chosen out to help her through it all
Whatever
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
Because tomorrow's gonna come
Tomorrow's gonna come, and no one's gonna call
Oh, what's the use in trying?
Thick as thieves and packs of lies
Marching to the palaces of night
All my life I looked for something
All my seas are drops of rain
Drunk as sailors drinking from your hand
Girl, you can do just as you like
Girl, you can do just as you please
Girl, you wanted, you could've been dead
Now, you're swinging like a funeral march in June
And it's way past July
Oh, what's the use in trying?
All the time, it ends in nothing
Oh, what's the use in trying now?
Burn all the canvases
They painted up the queens in crutches
Trial to see how they all see you now
Girl, you can do just as you like
Girl, you can do just as you please
Girl, you wanted, you could've been dead
Now, you're swinging like a funeral march, oh
Yeah, but nobody died
Oh, you're swinging like a funeral march
Oh, you used to be beautiful
Oh, you used to be beautiful
Oh, you used to be beautiful
Oh...
Oh, what's the use in trying?
Everything turns to nothing
No mechanics here can save your life
Moons crash inside the opera
Oozing all the starless actors
All hung there in pieces of a sky
Girl, you can do just as you like
Girl, you can do just as you please
Girl, you wanted, you could've been dead
Now, you're swinging like a funeral march, oh
Yeah, but nobody died
Oh, you're swinging like a funeral march
Oh, you used to be beautiful
Oh, you used to be beautiful
Oh, you used to be beautiful

R: 1, 2... Oh! S'hold up...
~Random noises from the guys in the background
R: ~in hilarious British accent~ Eth, Eth's go' a mof full o' cookies!
~Guys all giggle hysterically
B: Bum licker! [omg, why? lol]
~Ethan says something undecipherable (he has the accent Ryan was mocking)
R: ~Something french, don't know~
~Starts into "To Be Young (is to be sad, is to be high)"
So, I am in the twighlight of my youth
Not that I'm going to remember
And have you seen the moon tonight,
is it full?
Still burning its embers
The people dancing in the corner,
they seem happy
But I am sad
I am still dancing in the coma
of the drinks I just had
Does anybody wanna take me home?
Does anybody wanna take me home?
Take me to your house,
and I'll leave you alone
Of course I will
Of course I won't
It seems so tragic...
but it disappears like magic
Like magic...
Can you recommend an education or drugs
Because Im bored with you already
I'm on Broadway and I think its a parade
I'm covered in pieces of confetti
And I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I am going to remember
Dancing and slowly and finding the truth
And it's covered in coma
All of these people in my life,
well they seem so in love
Well, I am not
Memorizing my shoes in a cigarette shop
Does anybody wanna take me home?
Does anybody wanna take me home?
I'm kinda lonely, will you take me home?
Of course you will
Of course you won't
Of course I'm crass
It seems to tragic
Of course you will
Of course you won't
But I'll disappear
I'll disappear
Just like magic
Just like magic
Just like magic
Porcelain doll
Your mother runs an antique shop
She takes some stuff, I take a lot
We sleep all day
Slow response
I'm feelin' like an afterthought
I guess I'm kinda lost in space
And London's okay
She don't even ask what time it is anymore
Dressed up like its World War 24
Sugar sweet
She loves it when it hits her teeth
The river hides the carousel
In London, oh well
Coma comes
Like bullets from a candy gun
Delivers us into the sun
Of London, my love
She don't even ask what time it is anymore
Dressed up like its World War 24
And if we get too high
We'll burn this town
We'll burn this town
We'll burn this town
Oh, baby, bring me down
Oh, baby, bring me down
Oh, baby, bring me down
Oh, baby, bring me down
I'm all yours
I'm all yours
Cotton candy and a rotten mouth
You know you're so fucked up
You know I couldn't help but have it for you
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
And knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked up
I'm totally fucked up
Wish you were here
And streets that only turn to boulevards
And houses with back yards
and it's raining like hell on the cars
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
Knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked
I'm totally fucked
Wish you were here
And if I could have my way
We'd take some drugs
And we'd smile
We'd smile
We'd smile
But not tonight, my dear
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Cotton candy and a rotten mouth
You know you're so fucked up
You know I couldn't help but have it for you
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
And knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked up
I'm totally fucked up
Wish you were here
And streets that only turn to boulevards
And houses with back yards
and it's raining like hell on the cars
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
Knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked
I'm totally fucked
Wish you were here
And if I could have my way
We'd take some drugs
And we'd smile
We'd smile
We'd smile
But not tonight, my dear
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Everyone, when she was young,
They said she was the pretty one
She's lovely now, just watch her as she goes
Waiting for the birds to come
She holds the hands of someone young
Whose mother comes and she sees her and she smiles
Thank you Louise
Thank you Louise
Mother of three
Waiting in the check-out line
The supermarket, Christmas time
She eyes someone who doesn't have the change
Takes a dollar from her purse
She pays and doesn't say a word
She winks and grins and 'Merry Christmas, friend!'
Thank you Louise
Thank you Louise
Mother of three
In Baltimore, the freezing cold,
That chills her darling to the bone
She leaves her work and quits her job
Her brother lay upon the bed
With broken teeth and busted head
He hears the phone and he knows his brother's dead
Thank you Louise
Thank you Louise
I am a broken toy
For a lonely girl
Use once and destroy
And go find some more
Back home, kids play in the leaves in the park
She wants to play a game of hearts
I'm the rag doll boy
With broken eyes
She only comes to me
When it's raining outside
Back home, kids play in the leaves in the park
She wants to play a game of hearts
I fell for you
I fell for you
Why?
I guess I wanted to play too.
Here's the lonely string
Playing 'long in my head
For only just my arms
Are dancing marionettes
Back home, kids play in the leaves in the park
And she wants to play a game of hearts
She wants to play a game of hearts
You're an impossible dream
So when I go to bed
That's all I'm doing I'm just sleeping
Cocktails in the ESP
Think about you to think about me
I wonder -- I wanna see you tonight
I wanna see you, I wanna see you,
I wanna see you smiling back at me in the starlight
Shining on the streets downtown
I was looking for you
Looking for me, again
God I wanna taste your mouth
Back you are up against the wall behind a subway station
I wanna see you smile
I wanna see, I wanna see, I wanna see you tonight
Meet me on the corner -- 44th and Broadway
Did it rain, oh, God
You could be happy in love
You can be happy in love with me
That's is you want to for just a little while
No promises no guarantees tonight
Meet me in the hall
Meet me in the hall
I'm terrorizing so
You bet
'Cause I wanna see you tonight
I wanna see, I wanna see, I wanna see you tonight
Meet me on the corner -- 44th and Broadway
Did it rain, God
You could be happy in love
You could be happy in love with me
Forever, forever, forever
Oh, why do they leave?
Oh, why do they leave?
On the day that you needed them the most
Simple cards and things
Rose-colored sunsets, no flowers for me
Simple cards and things
Rose-colored sunsets, no flowers for me
Lover, why do you leave
Lover, why do you leave
On the day I want you for me?
Say, say it ain't so
That he will take you tomorrow
And I will sit here today (The worst)
Simple cards and things
Rose-colored sunsets, no flowers for me
Simple cards and things
Rose-colored sunsets, Curtains for me
Lover, why do you leave
Lover, why do you leave
On the day I want you to be
Tell me what sin replaces love
I wanna know, right now
Tell me what sin replaces love
I wanna know, right now
Imagine yourself on a mountain
Mountain discovered with flowers
Flowers discolored with horses
Horses distracted by stones
Stone distrusted with me
Then you might know what I mean
'Cause I want to kick love right in its gut
Beat it and leave for dead
Wash my hands in the river
Lie down and die in your bed
(repeat 1st and 2nd verses)
The voice on the receiver
Baby cry howlin' in the wind
I don't wanna beg for your mercy
I wanna know right know, what sin
Tell me what sin replaces love
I wanna know, right now
I knew I was never gonna talk to you tomorrow
And oh, the birds how they sing
If you were a bird could you sing me a song of sorrow
'Cause all I know from you is grief
But I never wanted to be your rolling train
I never wanted to be your dancin' shoes
I just wanted you to love me
I just wanted you to love me
Touch, feel & lose
And cry, cry, cry
I thought maybe I could be some kind of shelter
But oh, your storm how it raged
You know your kisses, they like lightnin' and thunder
And your smile is sweet and come down like rain
I never wanted to be your dancin' shoes
I just wanted you to love me
I just wanted you to love me
Touch, feel & lose
And cry, cry, cry
I just wanted you to love me, honey
Pulled into the station
And they're playing Waylon Jennings
When you're driving through so late at night
You'll see the lights are blinding
Yeah, and I'll be thinking of you
Home, my baby's going home
My baby's going home
Tomorrow
A million miles of nothing
Yeah, you're driving all alone
I can smell you on the pillow
Of the hotel room
Baby, make it and call me soon
Home, my baby's going home
My baby's going home
Tomorrow
Home, my baby's going home
My baby's going home
Young boy, you done me bad, I went and did ya wrong
Young boy, you done me bad, I went and did ya wrong
Then I got high, Lord I got high, and I got a bone to pick with you
And I'm sure you know it's true
Oh one day when you're looking back
You were young and man you were sad
When you're young you get sad
When your young you get sad, then you get high
Oh man
Young gal you done me bad and I went and did ya wrong
Young gal you done me bad so I went and did ya wrong
Then I got high
Lord, I got high
Now you got a bone to pick with me, but I wish you'd let me be
Oh one day when you're looking back
You were young and man you were sad
When you're young you get sad
When your young you get sad, then you get high
You get high
Oh the days the rain would fall your way
Oh the days the rain would fall your way
Then you be high, cause you got sad
Cause you got sad
Oh man
Lord, lord, can you hear me?
Oh, I am in pain
And I don't have a woman left to blame anymore
She left me this morning
So why does the wind go howlin' her name?
Are your angels just children laughing insane
at the fools we are as men
Go count me in
Lord, lord, can you hear me?
I am not well
And I have spent all my time in this cell of my heart
An act not given apart
So why does the wind go howlin' her name?
Are your angels just children laughing insane
at the fools we are as men
Go count me in
Lord, lord, take my hand
and please, please lead me through
I have no one and I'm counting on you now that I'm old
And I'm so scared of dying alone
And how does the wind go howlin' her name?
Are your angels just children laughing insane
at the fools we are as men
Go count me in
There you go
Waving your arms like a girl
Secondary clothes
Don't worry, nobody knows
Somebody order my round
'Cause I'm getting by
With a twelve pack from 12th Porter with Billy
4:30 a.m. at night
'Cause Tennessee sucks, in the summer
What do you got that can put us under?
There goes Johnny B.
Weird and tall
He says "The band, they've got good songs,
they just don't draw"
Somebody order my round
Chances are I won't pay
Hey Brad, let's go down to The Bound'ry
Get something blue to put us out of our way
'Cause Tennessee sucks, in the summer
What do you got that can put us under?
I hang my head down on Hollywood
'Cause either way you look down it's just stars
And I'm making my way down the Cherokee
To get drunk in a bar
And I know my friends, they worry about me
I can see it written on their face
Despite anything that I said before
The bar is a beautiful place. . . . sha na na na, sha la la la la.
I got a cold in my heart that the doctor can't feel
He said "go get you a beer"
But they don't let the sunshine come in here.
Sha la. Sha la la la
Where the hookers and thieves and the junkies play
It's a circus round here for sure
And I worry about how I'm fitting in
If I only had her
And I know my friends they worry about me
I can see it written on their face
But despite anything I might have said before,
The bar is a beautiful place. . . . sha na na na, sha la la la la.
Ain't it strange, I see your face in the window of a store
Holding me back from throwing my bottles out at the cars
Sha la. Sha la la la
So hey there, Mrs. Samuels
Hey Laura, I'm thinking of you
Would you take an old drunk as-is
If he was sweet to you
And tomorrow, you'll probably give up on me
I won't blame you, hell I'll celebrate
'Cause despite anything you may have said to me
Fair haired gal
You got a sister that's mean
Hanging around the cigarette machine
But when I'm lonely she makes me feel nice
When I'm lonely she makes me feel nice
Steals my shirt makes me hurt
In the field where my plane went down
In the field where my plane went down
Sweet lil gal
Sweet lil gal
Everything's gold when she comes to me
Lay there for days on the floor with my things
But when you're lonely she makes me feel nice
When you're lonely she makes me feel nice
Steals my shirt
23rd and 1st
In the field where my plane went down
In the field where my plane went down
Sweet lil gal
Sweet lil gal
I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
Busted tooth and a smile
And cigarette ashes in her drink
The kind that goes out and then sleeps for a week
The kind that goes out on her
To give me a reason, for well, I dunno
And maybe she'd take me to France
Or maybe to Spain and she'd ask me to dance
In a mansion on the top of a hill
She'd ash on the carpets
And slip me a pill
Then she'd get pretty loaded on gin
And maybe she'd give me a bath
How I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
And she and I would sleep on a boat
And swim in the sea without clothes
With rain falling fast on the sea
While she was swimming away, she'd be winking at me
Telling me it would all be okay
Out on the horizon and fading away
And I'd swim to the boat and I'd laugh
I gotta get me a Sylvia Plath
And maybe she'd take me to France
Or maybe to Spain and she'd ask me to dance
In a mansion on the top of a hill
She'd ash on the carpets
And slip me a pill
Then she'd get pretty loaded on gin
And maybe she'd give me a bath
How I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
Sweet black magic coming down the line.
Sweet black magic coming down the line.
Don't worry little honey,
'Bout the money you'll be feelin' fine.
Cause I'm gonna see the doctor,
Got some money, gonna get us high.
Sweet Los Angeles in the fall,
Sweet Los Angeles in the fall,
As pretty as a picture,
Ain't nobody out shakin at all.
Don't worry little honey,
Got some money, gonna get us off.
Sweet black magic,
Sweet black magic,
Sweet black magic coming down the line
Sweet black magic coming down the line.
Sweet black magic coming down the line.
Well I'm gonna see the doctor,
Gonna get us what our money can buy.
Don't worry little honey,
Got some money, gonna get us high.
Sweet black magic,
Sweet black magic,
Fair haired gal
You got a sister that's mean

When I'm lonely she makes me feel nice
Steals my shirt, makes me hurt

Sweet lil gal.
So much for the days of glory
It's not like your idols died and are holy now
You cross the street and count to ten
And everyone that mattered went to bed
Or maybe they died
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
Bet you want it back
They all want it back, but you can't have it
You've lost total control
The sun, it lights the blades of grass
It's not like she knows the difference or cares
She's stupid and cold
Somewhere in the waves of doubt
It's not like she swam awhile, then faded out
So stupid and calm
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
Do you want it back?
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
They all want it back, when they want it all back
But you can't have it
It's a long way down, but I feel alright
It's a long way down, but I feel alright
And the cops get in, and the crowd gets tight
Take your tomorrow, pain and your sorrow and teach it how to fly
It's starting to hurt
Starting to hurt
Starting to hurt
Starting to hurt
It's a long way down, but I feel alright
It's a long way down, but I feel alright
And I hope you're here, when I hit the ground
'Cause I'm high on forever, always together, and I'm coming down
It's starting to hurt
Starting to hurt
When I pick up my guitar
This is the song that always comes
Don't know what I'm singing 'bout and
Don't know what for
I think about you
And I think about Rosebud
Wish there was a song to sing
To bring you back
But you can't get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take care of myself
And my friends
You sing to a field of trees
And roses singing those melodies
Simple and easy where everything moves
Underneath you
And Rosebud too
I wish there was a song to sing
To get you back
But you can't get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take it easy
But I took a photograph
And she's just a wooden machine
Everybody's cool playing rock n roll
Everybody's cool playing rock n roll
I don't feel cool at all
I don't feel cool at all
Send all of my best out to the hand
I don't think I'll make it out to the show
There's this girl I can't get out of my head
There's this girl I can't get out of my head
I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
But I wasn't sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that some things never change
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
Up here in the city feels like things are closing in
The sunsets just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
But I wasn't sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that some things never change
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
Up here in the city feels like things are closing in
The sunsets just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
Well nighttime let her through
Yeah I'm talking to you
I wanna see her
Precious little thing
With eyes that dance around without their clothes
So buy a pretty dress
Wear it out tonight
For anyone you think could out do me
Or better still be my winding wheel
Cause I feel just like a map
Without a single place to go of interest
And I'm further North than South
If I could shut my mouth shed probably like this
So buy a pretty dress
And wear it out tonight
For all the boys you think could out do me
Or better still be my winding wheel
Be my winding wheel
Well the children laugh and sing a song that ushers in her driving rain
And I'm standing in the station like some old record waiting on a train
So buy a pretty dress
Wear it out tonight
For anyone you think could out do me
Or better still be my winding wheel
Two pictures laid on an amp
I'm broken like strings on guitars I can't sell
I saw your car parked next to a bridge
I think it was yours, I don't know, I can't tell
I saw your picture in a magazine
I decided to talk to you, what the hell?
Twin pictures in a magazine
There's two of you, I'm alone, Sara Bell
Sara Bell
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Hypnotize
Don't tell me to stay again
I believe in the things I can't see and I'm right
Nobody's gonna shove me down
You can turn me away, but I'm turned on all night
I saw your picture in a magazine
I decided to talk to you, what the hell?
What the hell?
Twin pictures in a magazine
There's two of you, I'm alone, Sara Bell
Sara Bell
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Hypnotize
Hypnotize
Hypnotize
Hypnotize
Black birds slow and softly breaks a glass of wine
Broken bluesy whisper sing to me tonight
Well, everybody wants to go forever
I just wanna burn up hard and bright
I just wanna be your firecracker
And maybe be your baby tonight
Maybe be your baby tonight
Lady, your kicks of silence cough into your room
Kiss me slow and softly make me dream of you
Well, everybody wants to forever
I just wanna burn up hard and bright
I just wanna be your firecracker
And maybe be your baby tonight
Maybe be your baby tonight
So when does the plane go down
'Cause I'm ride it till it hits the ground
Then go out with a fight
Here's a picture of your lonely Fridays
Turned to nothing on a Friday night
Firecracker with a pile of empties
Detonated with a lonely fire
I see your face, I hear your voice
I touch the phone and wonder
Is this explosion gonna set me reeling?
Or just another thing to pull me under?
If you could give me anything tonight
Just a wink, or even just a sigh
I'll be okay, 'cause I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign, to come
Are you the one?
And I was breathless on a Sunday morning
And I was speechless on a Sunday night
For a lack of better understanding
Felt like an engine that just didn't need a tire
I see your face, I hear your voice
I touch the screen and wonder
And I been waiting for the sun to tell me
It's just been sitting here, I don't know why
If you could give me anything tonight
Just a wink, or even just a sigh
I'll be okay, 'cause I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign
To come
So, tell me how you feel without your medicine
Hold you head feelin' paranoid
Sweet sixteen for a schizoid
So, tell me how you feel
Now you're the only one
Held you head in the setting sun
Sweet black smoke with the poison
Hey, come everybody do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it's hysterical
So, tell me how you feel without your medicine
Hold your head feeling paranoid
Running down the street from a mergatroid
So, tell me how you feel
Now you're the only one
Held your head in the setting sun
Sweet black smoke from a crooked gun
Hey, come everybody do Miss America
Oh gal, oh gal, with your darkened eyes
Kindle the wood and prepare the lies
And don't fail me know
Oh me, oh my, oh beast with might
Drown me with water and burn me with fire
And don't fail me now
Just don't fail me now
You don't do me right
You don't do me right
Why you do me wrong when the rope gets tight?
When the rope gets tight
When the rope gets tight
Oh day, oh night, oh darkened light
Drown me with water and burn me with fire
And don't fail me know
Oh Mary, oh mother of all that is near
Lead me to freedom from my kingdom of fear
And don't fail me now
Just don't fail me now
You don't do me right
You don't do me right
Why you do me wrong when the rope gets tight?
When the rope gets tight
When the rope gets tight
When the rope gets tight
Oh gal, oh gal, with your darkened heart
Kindle the wood and prepare to start
Just don't fail me now
Just don't fail me now
You don't do me right
You don't do me right
Why you do me wrong when the rope gets tight?
When the rope gets tight
When the rope gets tight
When the rope gets tight
Enemy fire
Enemy blanks
Enemy colored roses
Red colored tanks
It's too late baby
Baby, it's too late
Learn how to change
And maybe I could stay
Enemy fire
Enemy planes
Enemy roses and red colored chains
It's too late baby
Baby, it's too late
Learn how to change
And maybe I could stay
For you Id do anything
Tear myself in two
Just to hear you breathe
Calculate the changes that in time
Turn to nothing and then multiply
Yourself by pain,
And you're not even close Elizabeth
Over you I will never be,
I wish I knew why
It never comes to me,
I'm waiting for someone who just wont show
And every night it feels like there's no tomorrow
Not that you will ever know,
Where ever you are I hope you're happy now
I'm caught in a dream and I cant get out
I'm caught in a dream
I'm caught in an endless dream
And I'm not strong enough to let you go,
And I have tried everything
But that
As a man I ain't never been much for sunny days
I'm as calm as a fruit stand in New York and maybe as strange
But when the color goes out of my eyes, it's usually the change
But damn Sam I love a woman that rains
Clear as a bell, and sound as an old engineer
Clear as a bell, and sound as an old engineer
With talented breezes that blow off your hat with a sneer
As a man I've never been much for talking to
I'm as open as the door in her house that leads to her room
And when the color goes out of my eyes, she's usually too
But damn Sam I love a woman that's blue
As a man I ain't never been much for sunny days
I'm as calm as a fruit stand in New York and maybe as strange
But when the color goes out of my eyes, it's usually the change
But damn Sam I love a woman that rains
How can I explain to you
What you did to me with words
Words just like the ones you used
They mean nothing at all
Buy they caterwaul, caterwaul, caterwaul
Through my lonely hall
Selfish and so conceited
By the way you destroy me
Words just like ones you used
They mean nothing at all to you
But they caterwaul, caterwaul, caterwaul
Through my lonely hall
Caterwaul
Caterwaul
Caterwaul
Oh baby why do I miss you like I do
Oh I miss my sweet
And the birds all singing blue
And white
And white
Call me on your way back home dear
Cause I miss you
Honey I ain't nothing new
Oh baby why did I treat you like I did
Honey I was just a kid
Bubblegum on my shoe
But you love me and I love you
Call me on your way back home dear
Cause I miss you
And I just wanna die without you
Oh I just wanna die without you
So, I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I'm going to remember
And have you seen the moon tonight
Is it full?
Still burning its embers
The people dancing in the corner, they seem happy
But I am sad
I am still dancing in the coma of the drinks I just had
Does anybody want to take me home?
Does anybody want to take me home?
Take me to your house, and I'll leave you alone
Of course I will
Of course I won't
It seems so tragic... but it disappears like magic
Like magic
Can you recommend an education or drugs
Because I am bored with you already
I'm on Broadway, and I think it's a parade
I'm covered in pieces of confetti
And I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I am going to remember
Dancing and slowly finding the truth
And it's covered in coma
All of these people in my life, well they seem so in love
Well, I am not
Memorizing my shoes in a cigarette shop
Does anybody want to take me home?
Does anybody want to take me home?
I'm kinda lonely, will you take me home?
Of course you will
Of course you won't
Of course I'm crass
It seems so tragic
Of course you will
Of course you won't
But I'll disappear
I'll disappear
Just like magic
Just like magic
Hold me up, hold me down
Leave me in the withering pines
Steal my love, steal my kisses
Take em to the bartering lines
Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy
Leave it on the table till somebody else with money's got a use
Spinnin so hard
I can't stand
Shadow of a shadowy man
Hold me up, hold my hand
The treasures that she misses make the man
Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy
Leave it on the table till somebody else with money's got a use
So hold me up, tie me down
Leave me in the withering pines
Steal my love, steal my kisses
'valuate the differences in life
Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy
Leave it on the table till somebody else with money's got a use
I found your photograph in a cardboard box in a magazine
I can't remember you, remember us or anything
I taught you how to feel, but you just feel numb
They taught you how to feel, but you just feel numb
She comes apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over
And it's over
I watch the window and listen for the sound of cars
I can't remember the last time that it was yours
I taught you how to feel, why do you feel numb
They taught us how to feel, but we just feel numb
She falls apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over
She falls apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
And it's over
The engine turns on a dime
But I ain't goin' nowhere, tonight
I ain't been goin' nowhere for quite awhile
Can't tell the truth in a house of lies
Can't explain what I don't know
One shot, one beer and a kiss before I go
One more kiss 'fore I go
One more night and day
Breath all heavy and slow
One shot, one beer and a kiss before I go
I'll miss those nights at the bar
With every girl all loaded like freights
And the pain in the morning comes as easy as it goes
Can't find the truth in a house of lies
And you can't see tomorrow with yesterday's eyes
One shot, one beer and a place where nobody cries
One more kiss 'fore I go
One more night and day
Breath all heavy and slow
The sun is shining hard at my feet
And the city is an animal ready to eat
It's raining like a nose bleed, cigarettes and sweets
And I feel it coming on
Bloody as the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
She isn't crazy
She's just not impressed
She stabs me with her eyes
Dirty knives hidden in her dress
And it's raining like bombs in my room when I'm alone
And I swear I think I knew you before
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Do you want it, do you want it, do you want it, come on
Do you want it, do you want it, come on just bring it on
Nothing gonna stop it now
But nothing
Do you want it, come on
Do you want it, do you want it, come on just bring it on
It's 1974
It's 1974
It's 1974
Dear Chicago,
You'll never guess.
You know the girl you said I'd meet someday?
Well, I've got something to confess.
She picked me up on Friday.
Asked me if she reminded me of you.
I just laughed and lit a cigarette,
Said "that's impossible to do."
My life's gotten simple since.
And it fluctuates so much.
Happy and sad and back again.
I'm not crying out to much.
Think about you all the time.
It's strange and hard to deal.
Think about you lying there.
And those blankets lie so still.
Nothing breathes here in the cold.
Nothing moves or even smiles.
I've been thinking some of suicide.
But there's bars out here for miles.
Sorry about the every kiss.
Every kiss you wasted (bad / back)
I think the thing you said was true,
I'm going to die alone and sad.
The wind's feeling real these days.
Yeah, baby, it hurt's me some.
Never thought I'd feel so blue.
New York City, you're almost gone.
I think that I've fallen out of love,
As a man I ain't never been much for sunny days
I'm as calm as a fruit stand in New York and maybe as strange
But when the color goes out of my eyes its usually the change
But damn Sam I love a woman that rains
Clear as a bell and sound as an old engineer
Clear as a bell and sound as an old engineer
With talented breezes that blow off your hat with a sneer
As a man I've never been much for talking to
I'm as open as the door in her house that leads to her room
And when the color goes out of my eyes she's usually too
But damn Sam I love a woman that's blue
As a man I aint never been much for sunny days
I'm as calm as a fruit stand in New York and maybe as strange
But when the color goes out of my eyes its usually the change
Orange sky, don't go
Manhattan looks like someplace else
Cloudy with a low fog shell
Into the crowded streets I go
Eventually they lead me back home
Where we used to live
I live alone and into bed I go
I wish I could tell you just how I felt
I don't pray, I shower
And say goodnight to myself
And when I close my eyes
I feel like a page
With a crossed out name
With a crossed out name
I kiss her mouth and I know
For everything there is a word
For everything but this
I like the dresses, the shoes, and the clothes
And everything you know that goes
With loving a girl, I suppose
I wish I could tell you just how I'm hurt
Pinpoint the location
It's in another universe
When I close my eyes
I see a fire so plain
And my crossed out name
Crossed out name
I see a crossed out name
When they call your name
Will you walk right up
With a smile on your face
Or will you cower in fear
In your favorite sweater
With an old love letter
I wish you would
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
They're all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would
When you're walking downtown
Do you wish I was there
Do you wish it was me
With the windows clear and the mannequins eyes
Do they all look like mine
You know you could
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would
I wish you'd make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you'll rest sometime
The mirrors in the room go black and blue
On a Sunday morning in her Saturday shoes
We don't choose who we love
We don't choose
The lights over the Midway melt on the street
In a Sunday shoes, with her Saturday feet
She don't love who he choose
She don't need what she use
Daylight comes and exposes
Saturday's bruises and cold roses
Cold roses
Nothing but the sunlight will help you grow
From underneath your bed you can't see the window
We don't choose what we see
We don't choose
Fortunate and angry just like a child
All that money buys you medicine but can't buy you time
We don't choose what we love
And she don't need what she got
Daylight comes and exposes
Saturday's bruises and cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses
Oh, the city rain
It floods the city streets
And in my city bed
Out of my fuckin' head
Is it snowing in space?
God I wish I could talk to you
Is it snowing in space?
And all the city snow
Freezes the Chelsea in ??
It stones the Chelsea girls
It stones the Chelsea boys
Is it snowing in space?
God I wish I could talk to you
Is it snowing in space?
How does your body feel today?
I forgot to ask
Genius in a hospital bed
With briar-patch hair, just isn't fair
Takin' bullets for the team of bad boys, how is it up there?
Takin' bullets for the team,
I really miss you
I really miss you
I really miss you
I fucked you over a million times
I fucked you over a million times
I fucked you over a million times
And you died, you died, you really died
Died, died, you really died
I am going to push them way
Fall into the leaves of the winter trees
Go on to the street to the cars in the pouring rain
Go on to the bus that left us in the dust and the flames
And when the son meets the father
It'll be something smarter for the pain
But you will always be the same
You will always be the same
Go on little girl, feet twirl, go and make him smile
Go on like the rumbling drums of the march of time
And when the son meets the dad
It'll be pretty bad for the pain
But you'll always be the same
You will always be the same
You will always be the same
Go on to the ones with the smoking guns in the heat
Go on to the wars we won, they came home, they made up
And when the father meets the son,
And the blood makes us better than the gain
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after an
You're my wonderwall
Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
I miss you all the time
walkin, out in the streets in the blisterin cold
Wish I could bring you back diamonds or sandwiches
At the house, it ain't nothing but cold
I had a real love baby, what happened?
Pick your number and then they call it out
I miss you all the time
Walkin, holdin hands, after dark
I feel like a moon eclipsing on the car lights out in the lot
Sometimes bein yours is everything ya know I just haven't got
If your gonna give your heart away
Don't love em for what they're not
Cause when that wild wind calls, ya gotta get movin on
I miss your voice so kind, and gentle, like a machine built for calmin a storm
And all the leaves outside are turnin, evergreen into orange and brown
I had a real love baby what happened
Get reservations at our restaurant
I miss you all the time, chairs empty
Sittin alone at the table in thought
I feel like a moon eclipsing on the car lights out in the lot
Sometimes bein yours is everything ya know I just haven't got
If your gonna give your heart away
Don't love em for what they're not
Cause when that wild wind calls, ya gotta get movin on
There's evidence now that's somebody's lying
And things to work out bout nobody's trying
I wish I didn't care anymore, as if you cared what I was feeling
Look at all the stars, watch them colliding
These Stars fighting in their secret wars
Underneath the dirt whatever i was hiding
is turning into dust the dust is still rising
I wish I didn't care anymore, but you know I care so little
it's like I see the stars, watch them colliding
These Stars fighting in their secret wars
Before, before it was inviting, now I'm bored
you don't impress me and I find you slightly terrifying
I try so hard to be good
I get these bad ides
I try so hard to be good
It doesn't always work out
It doesn't always work out
But I try...
To feel the sunlight on my eyes
Shake off the shadows
That were following me around
It's very nice you know and quite a lot to take in
To feel the sunlight and start growing again
I taught myself to push it away
I was watching, watching you do it to me
I taught myself to throw it away
And you get used to being happy
you get used to it, used to it, used to it...
I like to thing about the clouds...
How they are moving
Sometimes it's nice to stay home...
When everybody goes out
It's nice and quiet when they call it's so loud
I don't understand
I shuffle cool across the boulevard
My feet move steady, my shoes go up and down
I'm always late you know...
Late and never ready
I keep it steady though
When I get tight and all up right
I taught myself to push it away
I was watching, watching you do it to me
I taught myself to throw it away
And you get used to being happy
you get used to it, used to it, used to it...
Make no mistake to be user don't mean loser
Witty and cruel they are so easy to confuse
You'll learn eventually or...
Eventually you'll lose it...
Eventually you'll lose it...
I knew I was never gonna talk to you tomorrow
And oh, the birds how they sing
If you were a bird could you sing me a song of sorrow
'Cause all I know from you is grief
But I never wanted to be your rolling train
I never wanted to be your dancin' shoes
I just wanted you to love me
I just wanted you to love me
Touch, feel & lose
And cry, cry, cry
I thought maybe I could be some kind of shelter
But oh, your storm how it raged
You know your kisses, they like lightnin' and thunder
And your smile is sweet and come down like rain
I never wanted to be your dancin' shoes
I just wanted you to love me
I just wanted you to love me
Touch, feel & lose
And cry, cry, cry
I just wanted you to love me, honey
Young boy you done me bad I went and did ya wrong
Young boy you done me bad I went and did ya wrong
Then I got high Lord I got high and I got a bone to pick with you
And I'm sure you know its true
Oh one day when you're looking back
You were young and man you were sad
When you're young you get sad
When your young you get sad then you get high
Oh man
Young gal you done me bad and I went and did ya wrong
Young gal you done me bad so I went and did ya wrong
Then I got high
Lord I got high
Now you got a bone to pick with me but I wish you'd let me be
Oh one day when you're looking back
You were young and man you were sad
When you're young you get sad
When your young you get sad then you get high
You get high
Oh the days the rain would fall your way
Oh the days the rain would fall your way
Then you be high cause you got sad
Cause you got sad
Tell 'em that the house is not for sale
We're still livin' here, how come nobody can tell
They're takin' all the furniture, movin' our things
Come on little honey, put your head on my knee
Tell 'em that the house is not for sale
And calm down, calm down, calm down
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Do you remember when we even bought this thing?
I danced you across the wooden floor and you signed the lease
What happened in the car that night?
What happened in the car that night?
Tell 'em that the house is not for sale
And calm down, calm down, calm down
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Calm down
Tell 'em that the house is not for sale
We could grab a couple sheets, yeah, give 'em quite a scare
I remember lyin' on the bedroom floor
You were holding me, little honey, kissin' my soul
Tell 'em that the house is not for sale
And calm down, calm down, calm down
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Calm down
We were thirteen deep below the earth,
When we saw the fatal light.
A mighty blast of fire shook-us
All and one to flight.
For those of us still able,
We moved to safer ground.
The air was getting thinner,
As we heard the crumbling sound.
Heard the crumbling sound.
We made peace with our creator,
Each in his own way.
Some wrote notes to family,
While others sat to pray.
Time has moved so slowly,
Who will hear our plight?
As we sat there in the darkness,
Prepared for our last fight.
Fighting for our life.
We're waiting for a miracle,
To see the light of day.
It won't be long before we're found
And we'll be on our way.
One by one among us,
Would swear to see daylight.
Exclaiming that they've found us
And soon we'd be alright.
It finally dawned upon me,
That they truly saw the light.
Not the one expected,
But one to end their fight.
One to end their fight.
Each one settled gently
In hopes that were untrue.
Frozen in expression,
With thoughts of our rescue.
Now I am the last one,
Waiting for the light.
My eyes are growing heavy,
I'm about to lose my sight.
About to lose my sight.
Like the others here around me,
I believe I see the light.
When a surge of air surrounds me
I feel I've lost the fight.
A rush of saviors enter
And I too see daylight.
I'm coming with you brothers,
Cause I too see the light.
Cause I too see the light.
We're waiting for a miracle,
To see the light of day.
It won't be long before we're found
There you go
Waving your arms like a girl
Secondary clothes
Don't worry, nobody knows
Somebody order my round
'Cause I'm getting by
With a twelve pack from 12th & Porter with Billy
4:30 a.m. at night
'Cause Tennessee sucks, in the summer
What do you got that can put us under?
There goes Johnny B.
Weird and tall
He says "The band, they've got good songs,
they just don't draw"
Somebody order my round
Chances are I won't pay
Hey Brad, let's go down to The Bound'ry
Get something blue to put us out of our way
'Cause Tennessee sucks, in the summer
Fair haired gal
You got a sister that's mean
Hanging around the cigarette machine
But when I'm lonely she makes me feel nice
When I'm lonely she makes me feel nice
Steals my shirt, makes me hurt
In the field where my plane went down
In the field where my plane went down
Sweet lil gal
Sweet lil gal
Everything's gold when she comes to me
Lay there for days on the floor with my things
But when you're lonely she makes me feel nice
When you're lonely she makes me feel nice
Steals my shirt
23rd and 1st
In the field where my plane went down
In the field where my plane went down
Sweet lil gal.
Let me go I'm only letting you down
I 've got nothing to say to you now
I lose the feelings that are weighing me down
When I'm safe
It's turning morning all the birds sing
I'm not complicating anything
I'll have another then I'll go to bed
But I'll dream of you
Cause it's almost over
And it's almost gone
And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming
Sweet confusion, honey
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
You and I used to shine like a jewel
But times been nothing to us but cruel
So play it out and never played the fool
Cause you'll lose every time
We were nothing, we were only the past
Hard times like that don't last
I've been forgiven, I've been surpassed
By my heart
Have you?
Cause it's almost over
Yeah it's almost gone
And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming
Sweet Confusion, honey
Sweet Illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you
Love for you I can't use
And lonely nights multiplied by the blues
That I can't resolve
You never knew me but I did my best
I'm just lonely inside I guess
You gave me everything you really tried
Thanks....
If we were nothing and we're only the past
Then I'm just living in a dream I guess
A long black dream that takes me down the river to you
Where it's almost over
And we're almost gone
And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming
Sweet Confusion, honey
Sweet Illusion coming down
It's midnight, at the Starlite Diner
You said meet me at a corner to twelve
And I'm standing in the corner
Wishing you were here in my arms,
Fare thee well my old friends
Fare thee well
Is it possible to love someone too much
You bet
The drugs are in safe
And the clothes are on the couch, intertwined
But none of them are yours
And all of them are mine
So cry
Cry like a baby into an ocean of wishes
But it don't ever rain
On a street drenched with painted ladies
Fare thee well my old friends
Fare thee well
Have you ever slept it off to the bones
And woken up at night my love
Having dreamt you called them all
Every person you could never love
It's a blow out
On a birthday cake
And I'm a birthday candle
Floating on the lake
Where are you its getting late
Its midnight at the starlite diner
You said meet me at a corner to twelve
And I'm standing in the corner
All I want, all I want, all I want is a girl
Someone that cares enough about me
That she refuses to react
When I act like I don't care about her
Ice-packs for my shiners
Though you're on my nerves
Someone smart enough to click me back together
?? simple and suede and still evadable
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Well, I don't know
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone I love and who loves me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, that and maybe the world
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone that loves me the way of
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars
All I want, all I want, all I want is the chance
Someone with lasers and mirrors for eyes
Catching radio waves of Valium plants
That can dance to the music
And hover in the air
Someone that makes me feel at home whenever
Today, tomorrow, you get it forever
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Well, I don't know
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone I love and who loves me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, that and maybe the world
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone that loves me the way of
Star Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars
Head on down to 9th street gal
Lets go out kicking with the boys and the gals
Wear your dress and bring my ring
Someone's gonna get it ain't gonna be me
LUCY, Lucy my gal
LUCY, Lucy my sweet
LUCY, Lucy my gal
(I was just gonna hit him but I'm gonna kill him now)
We all met about half past three
Lucy she was rocking by my kicking machine
Too many STRAITS and not enough GREASE
That's when Lucy got it in the chest I think
LUCY, Lucy my gal
LUCY, Lucy my sweet
LUCY, Lucy my gal
(I was just gonna hit him but I'm gonna kill him now)
(Lucy) "They started fighting I was screaming for him
Boots all dirty, sexy and thin
Then on come the lights from the STRAITS in their cars
I was just a laughing when I hit the floor"
LUCY, Lucy my gal
LUCY, Lucy my sweet
LUCY, Lucy my gal
God, please bring the rain
Yeah, and bring it soon
Let it flood right through the houses
Into Judy's room
With a father on amphetamines
Her mother hides the pearls
Reach out into the darkness
And find my little girl
'Cause she's angry like a salesman
That couldn't make a sale
Threw her wedding ring in the sewer
And damned them all to hell
Please lead her to the mountain
That you fashioned out of sand
While the roaches climb the walls
From the hotel where he calls
Most people never find a love
Most people never find a love
Sometimes you just can be a man
Sometimes you just can be a man
When your living in the darkness
Of the shadowlands
The shadowlands
No time to explain
Always hopeless in a hurry
There's no one to blame
For an empty heart
Well, well, well
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change our way out
Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
My heart isn't black
It's just dirty from the floors
Nobody walks across
Nobody walks across or sleeps on anymore
Well, well, well
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change, oh well
Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
Wishing well
Wishing well
At the bottom of the wishing well
No one left to blame
No body to dismember
Just a shadow on the floor
A shadow on the floor
From a light that wasn't on, oh well
Well, well
Nothing's gonna change
Oh well
Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
The bottom of the wishing well
Wishing well
At the bottom of the wishing well
Oooh
Oooh
When I pick up my guitar
This is the song that always comes
Don't know what I'm singing 'bout and
Don't know what for
I think about you
And I think about Rosebud
Wish there was a song to sing
To bring you back
But you can't get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take care of myself
And my friends
You sing to a field of trees
And roses singing those melodies
Simple and easy where everything moves
Underneath you
And Rosebud too
I wish there was a song to sing
To get you back
But you can't get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take it easy
But I took a photograph
And she's just a wooden machine
I'm as blue
I'm as blue as the ocean is true, it's just refelctions of the sky
I'm as cold
I'm as cold as the stories you told but never sick enough to die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Note to self: don't die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Don't change, just lie
I'm as sick
I'm as crass as the things in your past, you wished that you could let them go
Caged birds
Caged animals starving for class
In your house when you're alone
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Note to self: don't die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Don't change, just lie
Who do you call when you're alone
Nobody, baby
Who do you want to be, figure out and just let me know
Don't change, don't change, don't change
Just let me go
Just let me go
If the walls in the room could talk
I wonder to myself would they lie
It's like some kind of jail
Fall from the curtains onto the bed
I'm all alone now, I can do as I please
I don't feel like doing much of anything
True love ain't that hard to find
Not that you will ever know
Would you lay here for awhile?
Please, do not let me go
Please, do not let me go
You were sweet enough to sing,
Oblivious to melody
Red suitcase full of clothes
Washed up on the shore of memory
I'm all alone now and I feel just find
I don't feel much like doing anything
True love ain't that hard to find
Not that either one of us will ever know
Would you lay here for awhile?
Please, do not let me go
Something's beating on the wall on the other side
Strange lovers moan each others names on by-hour sheets for the very first time
One of them's james
The other's some name she changes every time she lies across his bed
But the light of the moon leads the way
Towards the morning and the sun
The sun's well on the way too soon to know and
Oh my god, whatever, etc.
If i could i'd fold myself away like a card table
A concertina or a murphy bed, i would
But i wasn't made that way so you know instead
I'm open all night and the customers come to stay
And everyone tips but not enough to knock me over
And "i'm so tired" i just worked two shifts
But the light of the moon leads the way towards the morning and the sun
The sun's well on it's way too soon to know and
Well, the night makes moves
And it shatters like broken glass
Better play it cool... better let it pass
Have you been screening your smokes?
And whispers in an all night bar
Better off as the fool
Than the owner of that kind of heart
They don't know you anyway
They don't know you and they don't watch you walk away
Just a nobody girl
With a radar to the scene
When the emptiness finds you
You find all the numbers you need
Say you follow your heart
Well, honey you're just being lost
Say you follow your gut
Well, how much would it cost?
They don't know you anyway
They don't know you
And they don't watch you walk away
You're nobody, girl
You're nobody, girl
You're a nobody, girl
The night plays games
And the people they come and go
Well, they trade in their pieces
For a late-night ride on your rodeo
If your horses could talk,
I wonder if they would complain
I know you're rested and ready
They've been going nowhere for days
They don't know you anyway
They don't know you,
They don't even mind the weight
Nobody, girl
You're nobody, girl
Well, I was waiting around for somebody to die
Nobody did but a part of me died
I suppose from all that waiting
These things they pass in time
But the moments get real and it's hard sometimes
I think of someone that I'd like to be and I hold that in my mind
But there's always tonight, tonight
And you, you make me feel like I'm here when I'm not
And it, it makes me feel like I'm not here
You, you make me feel like I'm not here
But I am, I am more than you think I am
Take a picture of your life for a second now
Freeze it and look at the screen
What parts of you were daydreams, illusions and other things
These things they pass in time
But the moments are real and it's hard sometimes
Keep the faith, keep moving in time to the music rolling in your mind
And when you stay home tonight it can become your home
You, you make feel like I'm here when I'm not here
And it, it makes me feel like I'm not here
You, you make me feel like I'm not here
And I am, I am more than you think I am
I am, I am more than you think I am
You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost
No silence, no sound
No feeling
On and on, and on, and on
I go under and down again
And on, on and on
No pressure, no talk
No heartbeat
R-E-S-P-O-N-S-E
I go under and down, again
And on, on and on
Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
It's not (x9)
Nobody understands it's all I got
No violence profound
As violent, I act out against myself
And I go under and down again
And on, on and on
No wonder I fell
Nobody was underneath me there to catch me
I go under and down, again
And on, and on, and on!
Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
It's not (x9)
Nobody understands it's all I got
So liar stand up!
So liar stand up!
My favorite song, don't know how it goes
It's temperamental like the static coming over the radio
When I signal to her satellite, nobody is home
And oh, she's never in danger and never met a stranger
Heaven and earth, body and soul
Tell me that you miss me now that I'm gone
Like a book in a fireplace, too hot to read
All hot and on fire, let's go to sleep
By the way, I'm free tonight
If you wanna go out and see a movie or something
You're my favorite
My favorite songs go by, people stare
You know they need a lot of oxygen and like to wash their hair
And I can build a telephone out of tin cans
So we can have some conversations across the string nobody understands
Say what?
Heaven and earth, body and soul
Tell me that you miss me now that I'm gone
Crosses in a field, strange men with huge hats
Two guitars and one violin
In rented black suits with the wrong size on
They try to play it, but they get it all wrong
Three different keys at once, that's my favorite
That's my favorite song
Hey, I'm free tonight
If you wanna go out and see a movie
And don't call me pal
OK, bye
You're my favorite
You're my favorite
You're my favorite
So don't give up
If I was a sunset
I’d wanna lay on your bed
And watch the Hollywood lights flicker as I started to dim
If I was a movie
You know I’d feel pretty good
I’d watch you dancing all night in the dark where I stood
I don’t think about you
I don’t think about you
I don’t think about you
You don’t think about me
Miss sunflower blue
She’s got the brown eyes
Yea, and they’re pretty as hell
And they’ll burn through your shirt if you’re holding her still
She’s got a lighter, and a lit cigarette
And if you’re making her smile, well that’s just as high as you can get
But I don’t think about you
I don’t think about you
I don’t think about you
You don’t think about me
Miss sunflower blue
And I’m still out on Sunset in a taxi cab
Still at the movies, and I’m holding your hand
Still at an overpass view, looking out at the lights
I’m still on an airplane
And I’m starting to cry
I don’t think about you
If I was the evening
You know I’d send you a breexe
I’d let it whisper in your ear, kiss you and sing you sleep
If I wasn’t so screwed up
Maybe all the words might’ve come
But I think the needing just took everything the wanting was sung
But I don’t think about you
I don’t think about you
I don’t think about you
You don’t think about me
I am on a street, I walk
into the store, I do not talk
I think of you, I think a lot
of what you might say
Memory lane
The old man at the store still sings
a funny ancient tune, chinese
he whistles to himself and sees
I am alone again today
He winks as if to say
"It's okay"
On memory lane
Memory lane
Oh, memory lane
sometimes when my memory fails
I look into my book of spells
cards we wrote and pictures taken by someone else
I feel the pain
Memory lane
I sleep by the windowsill
sounding out a dream for real
simple times of hands entangled
fingers engaged
I want to go to Magnolia Mountain
And lay my weary head down
Down on the rocks
On the mountain my savior made
Steady my soul and ease my worry
Hold me when I rattle like a hummingbird hummin'
Tie me to the rocks on the mountain my savior made
Lie to me
Sing me a song
Sing me a song until the morning comes
If the morning comes, will you lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
Till I'm heavy like the rocks on the riverbed
That my savior made
I want to be the bluebird singing
Singing to the roses in her yard
The roses in her yard her father grew for her
It's been raining that Tennessee honey
So long I got too heavy to fly
Ain't no bluebird ever gets too heavy to sing
Lie to me
Sing me a song
Sing me a song until the morning comes
And if the morning don't come, will you lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
Till I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed
That my savior made
We burned the cotton fields down in the valley
And ended up with nothing but scars
The scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war
But there ain't nothing but the truth up on the Magnolia Mountain
Where nobody ever dies
Steady your soul and ease your worry
They got a room for you
Lie to me like I lie to you
Calm me down until the morning comes
And if the morning don't come
Lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
All heavy like the rocks in the riverbed
That my savior made
You're like a rain cloud
If it rained mushroom clouds
Everybody hits the ground
Arms folded, head down
You're like a missile strike
Government goes underground
Warhead on legs
What goes around comes around
Goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
Goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
So turn the radio on
So turn the radio up
So turn the radio up loud and get down
Let your body move
Let your body sway
Listen to the music play
It's magick
It's magick
You're like a storm tower if it had fire power
Everything you touch burns
Scorched earth
Water tower burned up to the ground
Zombies runnin' all around
Eventually we hit the mall
And knock it down at nightfall
So turn the radio on
So turn the radio up
So turn the radio up loud and get down
Let you body move
Let you body sway
Listen the music play
It's magick
I wish I had secret powers
I'd burn all the power up
??????
And shut 'em down
Give them radios and ?
Wake them up with jams
Right after I disappear
In this song, this song, this song
Watch the record go round
Listen to the magick, magick, magick
Listen to the magick and watch the record go round
Listen to the magick, magick, magick
Listen to the magick and watch the record go round
What goes around comes around
I don't remember were we wild and young
All that faded into memory
I feel like somebody I don't know
Are we really who we used to be
Am I really who I was
The lights will draw you in
And the dark will bring you down
And the night will break your heart
But only if you're lucky now
Waiting outside while you find your keys
Like bags of trash in the blackening snow
City of neon and toes that freeze
We've got nothing and nowhere to go
We've got nothing and nowhere
And the lights will draw you in
And the dark will take you down
The night will break your heart
But only if you're lucky now
And if the lights will draw you in
And the dark will take you down
But love will mend your heart
But only if you're lucky now
I don't remember were we wild and young
All that's faded into memory
I feel like somebody I don't know
Are we really who we used to be
So glad that you found someone
Someone and so fast
It's time to let go of someone
And put it to rest
But I don't feel sorry for you
Not sorry at all
No I don't feel sorry for him or for her
My world is gonna revolve
It's gonna keep spinning around me, doll
The world where no one belongs to her
And you're the one she thinks she wants
It's true, she's lovely and blue
So now that it's underground
And they're talking too fast
Whatever that they're talking about, it's not me,
It's all in the past
And I don't feel sorry for you
I'm not sorry at all
No I don't feel sorry, in fact just the opposite
My world is gonna revolve
It's gonna keep spinning around me
The world where no one belongs to her
And you're the one she wants
My world
My world is gonna revolve
It's gonna to keep spinning round me, doll
The world where no one belongs to her
And you're the one she thinks she wants
She thinks, she wants, the world
The world she thinks she wants
It's hers and you'll never get through
Oh god it's so true
It's true,
Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River
I was leaving on the Delta Queen
And I wasn't ready to go
I'm never ready to go
Twenty seven years of nothing but failures
And promises that I couldn't keep
Oh Lord, I wasn't ready to go
I'm never ready to go
Let it ride, let it ride easy down the road
Let it ride, let it take away all of the darkness
Let it ride, let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels
Until it brings me home, let it ride, let it roll, let it go
Loaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferry boat
I was at the bar till three
Oh Lord, and I wasn't ready to go
I'm never ready to go
Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina
Where they're gonna bury me
And I ain't ready to go
I'm never ready to go
Let it ride, let it ride easy down the road
Let it ride, let it take away all of this darkness
Let it ride, let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels
Until it brings me home, let it ride, let it roll, let it go
I wanna see you tonight
Dancing in the endless moonlight
In the parking lot
In the headlights of cars
Someplace on the moon
Where they moved the drive-in theater
Where I left the car that I can't find
But I still got the keys to
Let it ride, let it ride easy down the road
Let it ride, let it take away all of this darkness
Let it ride, let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels
Until it brings me home, let it ride, let it roll, let it go
I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Don't see it, don't see it at all
I don't see them, they're lookin' for me
I don't see them, they don't see me
Guess it was invisible
The ice
Ice, ice, ice
Icicle, icicle
I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Don't panic, they know you are numb
I don't see them, they don't see me
Guess it was invisible
Ice, ice, ice
Ice, ice, ice
Icicle, icicle
There's too many lights in here
And I don't understand
I don't understand
Where I'm goin', whether I'm dead
There's too many lights in here
And I don't understand
I think I hear an angel singin'
Hear an angel softly beside you
Hear an angel ?? anymore
Underneath the ice, beneath all, you died twice
I don't see you walkin' past me
I don't see you, don't hear you
I don't hear them, they're lookin' for me
I don't hear them, they don't hear me
Underneath the icicle
The ice
Dice, Ice, Twice
I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Poor little rose beaten by the rain
In the wind and the gail thunder and the hail
Sometimes I feel like I'm goin' insane
Without the numbness of the pain so intense to feel
Especially now when added up through the years and I
I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Till I was broken on the outside insides caved
I taught myself how to grow old
Most of the time I got nothin' to say
When I do it's nothin' and nobody's there too listen anyway
I know I'm probably better off this way
I just listen to the voices on the TV till I'm tired my eyes grow heavy and I fade away 'cause I
I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Till I was broken on the outside
I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Till I was broken on the outside insides caved
Broken on the outside insides caved
Broken on the outside insides caved
I taught myself how to grow old
Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're fast asleep
But I love you now
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My baby, she's dreaming
Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh but when she calls,
I know she's the one
Makes me want her harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see monsters
Still I see monsters
Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're flying around
At the speed of sound
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My babies, she's dreaming
Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh when she calls
I know that she's the one
Makes me want it harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see the monsters
They slapped 'em on you
Where that bracelet used to be
You know the one I bought you in phoenix
Where they sell old jewelry
I was trying to make you angry
But I didn't feed you to the cops
When I threw that drink in that guy's face
It was just to piss you off
'Cause honey it's over
It's harder now that it's over
It's harder now that it's over
Now that the cuffs are off
And you're free
You're free with a history
I heard your wrists got bruised
Must've felt just like old times
I wish you would've grabbed the gun
And shot me 'cause I died
And I'm nothing now without you
yeah, I'm less than nothing now
I'm the one between the bars and lost forever now
'Cause it's over now
It's harder now that it's over
It's harder now that it's over
Now that the cuffs are off
And you're free
You're free with a history
Free with a history
You're free
Free with a history
Hello Gracie you're a good little girl
it's a beautiful world oh when you're out in it
Last time I saw you playing in the yard
You were running with children and the old people were smiling
Do you miss me would you know me at all?
If you walked by my house would you smile and turn the corner?
Blow your kisses oh make it feel worse
you know you gotta make the best of the time got has given you
I scratch your name into a wall on the beach with my keys on the side of the pier
I used to sleep so I would dream I was lying with you mid-summer
in the grass in the fields
Nobody was right Nobody was wrong, but somebody had to go
Nobody is here so nobody is gone, hello, goodbye, hello
hello, hello, hello
I scratch your name in my arm with my keys on the beach on the side of the pier
I keep your picture in a frame on the wall of my place
down the block far enough away it's like I'm not here
You're in my heart and you're in my soul, so I have to let you go
You're in my heart and you're in my soul, but I gotta let you go
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go
Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
We're going to win
Put your troubles behind you
And go on to bed
Let go of the worry
There's so much nobody understands
Don't live your life in such a hurry
Life goes by us all so fast
And the sun will come up again
And I will be here
If you get scared just hold my hand
Tomorrow is yours and who knows
Maybe we'll win the whole shabang
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Good morning sunshine
A new day begins
And the hustle and bustle of the traffic greets you kindly,
I can tell because you're smiling
C'mon give 'em everything that the winning demands
Just one more ribbon Rose
Before the mantle place caves in
And the sun will come up again
And I will be here Rose
If you get scared just hold my hand
Get out of that dress
Go on to bed
The bar is closed...
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Riot on the streets, the touch beneath the sheets
It's only gonna make me love you more
The cops they got the guns, the night destroys the sun
It's only gonna make me love you more
This old world, well, it was mine to take
Faith can keep you warm, but I'll teach you how to shake
And I'll come to you like a little girl
It's only gonna make me love you more
Moonlight on the beach, sweet amphetamines
It's only gonna make you love me more
Bottles and the cans, the idiots go dance
It's only gonna make me love you more
This old world, well, it was mine to take
Faith can keep you warm, but I'll teach you how to shake
And I'll come to you like a little girl
It's only gonna make me love you more
They say love is hell,
But I've only been laughin' ever since I fell
It's only gonna make me love you more
The lord will have his way but I'm just a call away
It's only gonna make you love me more
This old world, well, it was mine to take
Faith can keep you warm, but I'll teach you how to shake
And I'll come to you like a little girl
What makes them walk away, after all these years?
These years are burning in the hard way by the lessons from the tears
I know it’s not a game
But it feels like losing when someone you love throws you away
I’d fix it
I’d fix it
I’d fix it
I’d fix it if I could
And I’d always win
I’d always win
So you can always win the in end
How easy was it for you making those plans you made?
Before I became someone for you you know to try to dislocate
But, I know it’s not a game
But if feels like losing when someone you love gets up and walks away
I’d fix it
I’d fix it
I’d fix it
I’d fix it if I could
And I’d always win
I’d always win
And you’d always lose
Look what I did to you
Look what you did to me
Fixed it
I’d fix it, id fix it if I could
And I’d always win
I’d always win
Last time I was here it was raining
It ain't raining anymore
The streets were drowned and the water's waning
All the ruins washed ashore
I'm just looking through the rubble
Trying to find out who we were
Last time I was here it was raining
It ain't raining anymore
Last time I was here you were waiting
You're not waiting anymore
The windows broke and the smoke's escaping
A book's scattered across the floor
And the church bells ringing through the sirens
And your coat was full of bullet holes
Last time I was here you were waiting
You ain't waiting anymore
May the wind blow
May the moonlight know your name
Let the needle move the record 'round til the walls cave in
And you and I are out there dancing in the dirty rain
Last time I was here it was raining
Like you ain't ever seen it rain
And your eyes were filled with terror and smoke from the gasoline
As the stars exploded with gunfire
I saw you smiling just before
Last time I was here you were crying
You're not crying anymore
May the wind blow
May the moonlight know your name
Let the needle move the record 'round til the walls cave in
And you and I are out there dancing in the dirty rain
Mmmm dirty rain
I was never near
just a shadow on your walls
I was never here at all.
Dear Candy...
I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.
Dear Candy...
This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.
You were never mine.
I was never yours.
Whoah, Candy.
Oh, Candy.
Do you see me in your dreams?
Do you whisper my name?
Do you hear when my static rings in your ears?
Candy
I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.
Dear Candy...
This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.
I was never here at all.
She ain't lonely now
See her shuffle across the floor
Yeah, she's happier now
See her smile and say "come on"
Let's dance all night
Let's dance all night
Dance all night
Yeah, I think she'll be alright
I ain't lonely now
Yeah, I got someone I love
Someone I think about
Someone for me to take care of
Dance all night
Dance all night
Dance all night
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
She ain't lonely now
See her shuffle across the floor
Yeah, she's happier now
See her smile and say "come on"
Let's dance all night
Let's dance all night
Dance all night
Took a walk with you
In the shadow of my shoes
Danced around the broken blues
In the dirty summer rain
Moonlight on the cars
Parked in single file at bars
With a thick and rosy smoke
Waving its busted hand
Bringing you down, can't bring you down
Bring you down, can't bring you down
Bring you down, can't hear the sound
Run through the river and into town
Pretty little moon with it's head hung down
Chin up. Cheer up.
I took a walk with you
And I busted up my shoe
In an old yellow canoe
Out in Hollywood
You called the police
But they didn't care the lease
On your place had run out
Your landlord straightened his hat
Bringing you down, can't bring you down
Bringing you down, can't bring you down
Bringing you down, can't hear the sound
Run through the river and into town
Pretty little moon with it's head hung down
Here we go again
God, i listen but i'm not listening
Everything she says
You know i've heard it all before
So what if i have
It doesn't mean it isn't beautiful
And everyone needs company...
Once in a while
Two hearts, one of them will break
Like bad ideas on a beautiful day
Two figures moving thru the dark
Three words, is all it takes to break your heart in two
Every time she goes
I just pretend like it's not happening
And every time she comes
When she comes, oh god
So what if she's right
So what if she's so beautiful
Beautiful as that
Good for a laugh and too kind
Two hearts, one of them will break
Like bad ideas on a beautiful day
With no hands
This thing will steer itself thru the dark
Three words, is all it takes to break our heart in two
It's all it takes to break your heart in two
