Some people can get a thrill
knitting sweaters and setting still.
That's okay for some people
who don't know they're alive.
Some people can thrive and bloom
living life in the living room.
That's perfect for some people
of one hundred and five.
But I at least gotta try
when I think of all the sights that I gotta see
and all the places I gotta play,
all the things that I gotta be at.
Come on, papa, what do you say?
Some people can be content
playing bingo and paying rent.
That's peachy for some people,
for some hum-drum people to be,
but some people ain't me!
I had a dream,
a wonderful dream, papa,
all about June in the Orpheum circuit.
Gimme a chance and I know I can work it.
I had a dream.
Just as real as can be, papa.
There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office
and he was saying to me, "Rose,
get yourself some new orchestrations,
new routines and red velvet curtains.
Get a feathered hat for the baby;
photographs in front of the theatre.
Get an agent and in jig time
you'll be being booked in the big time."
Oh, what a dream.
A wonderful dream, papa.
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, papa.
That's what he said, papa.
Only eighty-eight bucks.
"You ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, Rose."
"Well, I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And get my kids out!"
Goodbye to blueberry pie.
Good ridance to all the socials I had to go to,
all the lodges I had to play,
all the shriners I said hello to.
Hey, L.A., I'm comin' your way!
Some people sit on their butts;
got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
That's living for some people,
for some hum-drum people I suppose.
Well, they can stay and rot!
Isn't it a gamble
Layin' your heart out on the floor
Nothin' short of a miracle
When you find the one you're looking for
It's another kind of trouble trying to hang on to who you are
When all you wanna do is lose yourself in someone else's arms
Isn't it a wonder (that) we got this far
Some people aren't lucky like us
Some people they just give up
When the hard times fall
The thrill of it all is gone
Leaves you in a cloud of dust
It's sad to think that some won't find it
And others won't recognize it even when it comes
We're all at the mercy of the will of love
Some people yeah
Some people aren't lucky like us
Two lonely souls that just stumbled into fate
Look how much we've been given babe
In spite of all of our mistakes
And I will never forget I've been blessed with the gift of lovin' you
And when the going aint easy babe
A little faith will pull us through
Thank God we have eachother we can hang onto
To have someone you can laugh with
Someone you can cry with
Tell all your secrets to
To have someone who won't judge you
Someone who just loves you
Some people seem to have it all
Some people always have to crawl
Some people pay to be abused
Some people end up destitute
Some people search their souls for truth
Some people try to be of use
Some people pray before they kill
Some people kill just for the thrill
Some people follow one man's vision, some others die on television
Some people build their homes on sand, some people live in garbage cans
Some people think that live is dear, some people hope the end is near
Some people fight for right to life, some people hate to stay alive
Some people dream of life on mars, some people end their life in cars
Some people throw their lives away, some others go on holidays
Some people live and love in vain, some people don't and go insane
Some people always need to win, some other people love to sin
Some people breaking all their vows, some people slashing sacred cows
Some people like to worship stars, some people think the world's a farce
Some people try to make ends meet, some others end up kissing feet
Some people find their holy grail, some other people go to hell
Some people never catch their breath, some people drink themselves to death
Some people seem to have it all, some people always have to crawl
Some people pay to be abused, some people end up destitute
Some people search their souls for truth
Some people try to be of use
Some people
Some people got to have roast every Sunday
And some people wanna go but got somethin' than makes 'em
stay
Now, there's one thing I insist on, one thing I got to
have
That's the love from my baby every day
Love from my baby every day
Some people think you ain't nothin' 'less you got lots of
money
Some people so cold they won't give you the time of day
Well, there's users and abusers, winners and losers
I'm a winner with my baby every day
A winner with my baby every day
Tell 'em about the time you went away and left me cryin'
Tell 'em 'bout the times you lied I cried
I felt just like dyin'
Some people think I ain't never been nothin' but no good
an' lazy
Some people call me the sunshine that lights the day
Now I been a schoolboy and an outlaw and everything in
between
And I'll be a fool for you, baby, every day
A fool for you, baby, every day
(verse1)
some people think that they can get behind your back
and they can say whatever they wanna
but you see i can't let em get away with that
because it's wrong oh no i'm not gonna
you can sit and lie in your bed
you can think and think then come up with an answer
but people who say foolish things they say
stupid words that i'd rather not mention
(chorus1)
well it won't get to me the right way is the way
that i see it won't bring me down it won't
(verse2)
the people learn that the people that think that they can
get right behind your back and do what they wanna
oh but you see i can't let em get away with that
because it's wrong or no i'm not gonna
you can sit and lie in your bed
you can think and think then come up with an answer
but people who say foolish things they say
stupid words that I'd rather not mention
(chorus2)
well i will not let it be
judging from the way that i see
it won't bring me down
it won't
(bridge)
and they can get behind your back and say what they want
and think it's right when till the time
when you get sick of putting up with all them
well now i'm here in my own mind
thinking about the way
i've been accepting these views
i've always took, am i wasted
so now i fall down to my death, no
you came and took it upon your own
but you can't tame a dog thats dead
yeah
I wake up in the morning
And you are on my mind
Some people that I know would call it love
When I go to sleep in the nighttime
And my dreams get so I find
Some people that I know would call it love
Some people would say that I'm crazy
For saying the things I say
Crazy for feeling the way that I feel about you
Baby you are like a magnet
To this old cold heart of steel
Some people that I know would call it love
I'm an open book just take one look
You'll see how I feel
Some people that I know would call it love
Some people would say that I'm crazy
For saying the things I say
Crazy for feeling the way that I feel about you
Still I wake up in the morning
And you are on my mind
Some people that I know would call it love
I can do despair myself, I don't need anyone to tell me.
Ah, you'll go to hell, some people round here say.
It's a right of passage, Its the right to do some (secur...?....)
(...?...) shut up, get off your excuses.
Some people, some people
some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
some people wanna die.
(...?...) c'mon, make up your mind where you're going.
pray for yourself, no one else, don't be slaved.
You stand and miss who you're killin', you hypocrites don't (...?...)
Stand up for yourself you're the human (...kind...) ?
Some people, some people
some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
some people wanna die.
Some people, some people
some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
some people wanna die.
Some people, some people
some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
We said goodbye one last time at the Louvre
Our long happy Summer was through
Just lovers in Paris as common as doves
But I still think of you, Samba Blue
Just how long has it been?
I still remember when
We strolled the Champs Elysees
Sharing a warm baguette
Coffee with anisette
We kissed in the Metro
In love very retro
I've visited Paris so many times since
And it always reminds me of you
And happily now all these many years hence
You are still by my side, Samba Blue
To Astrud Gilberto tunes
We made love in the afternoon
Then strolled down the Champs Elysees
Sharing a warm baguette
Coffee with anisette
We kissed in the Metro
In love very retro
We're together again, by the Seine, Samba Blue
Some people, they know how to play the game of love
Some people, know just who to pray to up above
Hey, I know where I'm going, I'm taking it straight to the top
I know where I'm going, I don't see a reason to stop
You took my hand, put me back where I started
Showed me the way, showed me the way
Oh, take my hand
You took my hand, put me back where I started
Givin' me direction
Some people seem to get the best of life really easy
And some people seem to be put on this earth to please me
I know that I'm lucky what you give me I'll send right back
Hey, I know I'm so lucky and this won't be a tough one to crack
You took my hand, put me back where I started
Showed me the way, showed me the way
Oh, you took my hand
You took my hand, put me back where I started
(This is where I started)
Givin' me direction
Some of us were living in perplexion
While others seemed to go sailing through
Some of us were getting no direction
Some of us could only think of you
Play
Some people can give every piece of their heart to another
Some people are just as happy when they're left on their own
I know what I have now the grass isn't greener over there
I know what I have now and it's something that I want to share
You took my hand, put me back where I started
Oh yea, help me
Showed me the way, showed me the way
Oh, you took my hand
You took my hand, put me back where I started
Givin' me direction
Showed me the way, showed me the way
There's a little piece of pepper
You took my hand, put me back where I started
(Where I started)
Some people they tease one another
Take pride in themselves keeping the other one down
Well
I'm not like that at all!
Some people they hurt one another
They love to see hurt in the other one's eyes
Well
I'm not like that at all.
Some people are born for each other
They love to walk holding the other one's hand
They always understand!
Some people cry
some people know why.
Some people they use one another so aimlessly
Not like lovers do
- well
I'm not like that at all!
Some people they long for each other
They love to talk holding the other one's hand -
They always understand!
Some people cry
some people know why.
With a word unspoken
with a voice unheard
When a word is broken by a tender word.
When a heart is moved
when a heart is thrown
The silence tells you you're not alone.
Some people are born for each other
They love to walk holding the other one.
Some people are born for each other
They love to walk holding the other one.
Some people are born for each other
They love to walk holding the other one.
Holding the other one
So what, so what if I was wrong
I said you can't get me cause I'm far too strong
That's when he hit me and said that's not how it's gonna be
Then he emptied all my pockets as he emptied me
So pick me up, take me in, got to get away from him
Take me in, take my side, cause I really got to hide
Cause if you don't then I'm through cause no one knows what he might do
Take me in or lock me up cause these beatings got to top
I think I just ate too much
I thought I was through I was lonely and frightened didn't know what to do
He was about to hit me, ready to bust out all my teeth
If you get a cold it will only be so much easier to breathe
So pick me up, take me in, got to get away from him
Got a cold, got to teeth and it sure is eaier to breathe
Still I don't like him, not one bit cause he's still doing that same old shit
Beating me up, bringing me down although I wish it was the other way around
You picked me up, took me in, so that I could get away from him
Now how the future looks for me that's what I'm about to see
But what I've learned from all of this is how it sets around my waist
How bad it was and still is and of course how bad it tastes
So what, so what if I was wrong
I said you can't get me cause I'm far too strong
That's when he hit me and said that's not how it's gonna be
Then he emptied all my pockets as he emptied me
So pick me up, take me in, got to get away from him
Take me in, take my side, cause I really got to hide
Cause if you don't then I'm through cause no one knows what he might do
Take me in or lock me up cause these beatings got to top
I think I just ate too much
I thought I was through I was lonely and frightened didn't know what to do
He was about to hit me, ready to bust out all my teeth
If you get a cold it will only be so much easier to breathe
So pick me up, take me in, got to get away from him
Got a cold, got to teeth and it sure is eaier to breathe
Still I don't like him, not one bit cause he's still doing that same old shit
Beating me up, bringing me down although I wish it was the other way around
You picked me up, took me in, so that I could get away from him
Now how the future looks for me that's what I'm about to see
But what I've learned from all of this is how it sets around my waist
How bad it was and still is and of course how bad it tastes
I think I just ate too much
Some people make it, some people try
Some people break it, some people cry
Some people lose it, some people find
Some people lead us and some are behind
It's a slow, slow break up, that's what we find
It's a so, so make up, make up your mind
It's a slow, slow break up, that's what we find
It's a so, so make up, make up your mind
What is the point of being amused?
I see the people standing abused
They keep their faces buried in hands
They keep their plates clean, but underneath
Some people drink gin, some people dry
Some people drive cars and some people fly
Some people take trains, some people walk
Some people hold it and some people talk
It's a slow slow break up, that's what we find
It's a so so make up, make up your mind
What is the point of being amused
I see the people standing abused
They keep their faces buried in hands
They keep their plates clean, but underneath
They like to fly with the jet-setters
They want to be with the go-getters
And then the moment comes around
Once again we'll find
He's taking pills and drink just
To find his peace of mind
Some people do it, some people won't
Some people do da, some people don't
Some people Liepzig, some people Prague
Some people lucid and some people vague
It's a no go faker, that's what we find
It's a no no taker, what's on your mind?
It's a no go faker, that's what we find
It's a no no taker, what's on your mind?
What is the point of being amused?
I see the people standing abused
They keep their faces buried in hands
Some people kill for less
Some people find it hard to get dressed
Some people, well
Ask how old I am
Some people live in a life
Some people need more than a slice
But when it fades
When the glitter's gone
You know it
You owe it to yourself
You won't let it make you mad
It's already crazy
Old and lonely when the shade is down
The brighter lights just smells their empty heads
Some people don't get much
Some people feel they're in touch
With spirit worlds, talking to you now
Some people just gotta say
Some people just wanna play
They get a kick when it's all messed up
You know it
You owe it to yourself
You won't let it make you mad
It's already crazy
You know it
You owe it to yourself
You won't let it make you mad
It's already crazy
And what you thought you lost was just mislaid
All the poems written in your skin
You know it
You owe it to yourself
You won't let it make you mad
It's already crazy
You know it
You owe it to yourself
You won't let it make you mad
It's already crazy
And what you thought you lost was just mislaid
Some people can get a thrill, knitting sweaters and
sitting still
That's okay for some people don't know they're alive
Some people can thrive and bloom, living life in a
living room
That's perfect for some people of one hundred and five
But I... at least gotta try
When I think of all the sights that I gotta see
And all the places I gotta play, All the things that I
gotta be at
Come on papa, what'd'ya say?
Some people can be content, playin' bingo and payin'
rent
That's livin' for some people, for some hum-drum people
- to-oo be
But some people - ain't me
I had a dream, a wonderful dream, papa
All about June in the Orpheum circuit
Give me a chance, I know I can work it, Uhh, what a
dream
And it was just as real as could be, papa
Well just listen to me, there I was in Mr Orpheum's
office
And he was sayin' to me - Rose!
Get yourself some new orchestrations, new routines and
red velvet curtains
Get a feathered hat for the baby, photographed in front
of the theatre
Get an agent and in jig time, you'll be bein' booked in
the big time
Oh what a dream, a wonderful dream, papa
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, Papa, that's
That's what he said papa, only eighty-eight bucks, papa
It's uh, yeah, but it's only eighty-eight bucks
It's not like I'm askin' for a second mortgage on this
place
What d'ya gettin so crick, why you gettin' crazy, it's
eighty-eight lousy bucks
What do you mean I ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents
outta you
Well, I'll get it, and I'll get my kids - OUT - NOW
Goodbye, to blueberry pies, good ridance to all the
socials I had to go to
All the lodges that I had to play, all the shriners I
said hello to, LA I'm coming your way.
Some people sit on their butts, gots the brains yeh,
but not the guts,
Thats living for Some People,
For some hum-drum people I suppose,
But they can stay and rot,
As you go!
On your way, throughout it all, without a questioning of consequence in store
And all the things that you wanted, made for a better way of everything they're using you for
That's when you feel like you're dying, and want to and some place to go
And then you say that you'll and a better way, like so many times before, as you go!
So many pro?ting, from your misfortune and a broken intuition brought abuse
Now as they're gloating in your face and stand so prominent
Now asking how you had ever have a chance without a clue!
That's when you feel like you're dying, and want to and some place to go!
And then you say that you'll and a better way, like so many times before, as you go!
Look at the faces that you trust and put them up inside your head!
And out of all the faces that you see, who's gonna be there in the end?
And out of all the times that you have turned, like so many times before
Who's gonna be the one to turn their back, running out that door!
Some people! Trying on their fake-ass two faces, saying they only want what's best for you
But hidden deep down within all their smiles, was depravity arising soon
That's when you feel like you're dying, and want to and some place to go!
And then you say that you've found a better way, than so many times before, as you go!
Look at the faces that you trust and put them up inside your head!
And out of all the faces that you see, who's gonna be there in the end?
And out of all the times that you have turned, like so many times before
Who's gonna be the one to turn their back, running out that door!
How many people want to and the time and want to make your fantasies come true?
How many people want to tell you lies and want to tell you what you're supposed to do?
And when you gonna realize that it's all just in your head?
Think for you, for yourself instead!
Far away, far from home, from the truth and the lies
Far away from things that they tell you, well that's where you'll and
That's when you feel like you're trying and then you've found some place to go!
And now you say that you've found a better way, than so many times before, as you go!
Look at the faces that you trust and put them up inside your head!
And out of all the faces that you see, who's gonna be there for you in the end?
And out of all the times that you had turned, like so many times before
Who's gonna be the one to turn their back? Running out that door!
Out that door!
Out that door!
I gotta message but I can't find the words to say
I should have a plan but I lost it along the way
Too many chiefs and not enough Indians
Somebody said, "Oh no, not him again"
I should of known, it was going to be of those days
This one's going nowhere
This one's flying high
Feel like going out there
One more time
Some people make champagne out of water
Some people just never have enough
For some people, it just keeps getting harder
Who're you going to trust?
A man built a cave
And he filled it with machines
Now we've got a neon moon
And we don't know what it means
Too many folks just a hangin' around
Don't know their ass from a hole in the ground
I should've known
It was going to be one of those scenes
This one's going nowhere
This one's flying high
Feel like going out there
One more time
Some people make champagne out of water
Some people have fallen to their knees
For some people, it just keeps getting harder
Who're you trying to please?
Sit and watch while the candle's burning
Some people, they never learn
Sit and watch while the city's burning
Some make the changes in the daylight
Others make the changes in the night
Some only read the rainbows
Others only read the clouds in the sky
I don't want to be the one to tell you that
I don't love the way I used to
Maybe I should leave tomorrow
And set you free by the morning light
I'll pack my bags of sorrow
And leave ‘em by the door tonight
I don't mind the rain on my head
If only I believed in God, I'd ask
Him to help me find my way
But I am faced with a world that does not have the words to say
So I will be the one to tell you
That I don't love the way I used to
Glimmers of hope and time
Will make it alright
So let's try and make it last
This one more night
I don't mind the rain on my head
Standing on the edge
This you pledge
A shot in the arm
Will do you no harm
Rotten to the core
Get back to hanging with the whores
And they show me
Streets full of nobodies.
Been touched by you before
Pinned me up against the wall in a headlock
Bone against breezeblock
And if we live to see another day
Maybe from different planets
And with different languages.
Feet don't fail me now
Don't make me go to ground
Take me with the speed
Of your life
Some people tell me that I'm heading for a fall
Some people know nothing about me at all
Take me with the speed
Of your life
Some people know nothing about it at all.
Looking from the wall
This you call
A kick in the hip
Won't make me lose my grip.
Rotten to the core
Get back
To hanging from the ceilings we look from
Streets full of no-ones.
Been touched by you before
Still got the scratches from the penknife you wield
You bat and I'll field.
And if we live to see another day
Maybe from different planets
And with different languages.
Feet don't fail me now
Don't make me go to ground
Take me with the speed
Of your life
Some people tell me that I'm heading for a fall
Some people know nothing about me at all
Take me with the speed
Of your life
Some people know nothing about it at all.
Feet don't fail me now
Don't make me go to ground
Take me with the speed
Of your life
Some people tell me that I'm heading for a fall
Some people know nothing about me at all
Take me with the speed
Of your life
Some people know nothing about it at all.
Feet don't fail me now
Some people know nothing about it at all.
Some people know nothing about it at all.
Some people know nothing about me at all.
Some people know nothing about me at all.
When i look back on the years we've spent
I see what's important and what it meant
Try to understand i walk my own path
'cause one day i'll be dead
What's buggin you?
I guess its jealousy
Don't need your lectures
Don't tell me what to do
Every step i take and do in this life
That's my choice and that's not up to you
It's not up to you!
I respect you in what you do
Now i expect the same!
You'll never get to me
You're to freakin slow
You'll bite in the dust
And everbody knows
I'm living the life
And there's nothing you can do
That's how it is sucka
Some people think they were born out of wisdom
Some people think they were bred out of grace
Some people think they're alive out of glory
Some people think through the hole in their face
Some people are so fine
And some people ain't you, and some people ain't me
And some people are something that I don't ever want to be
Some people think that I'm acting naively
Some people think I'm not thinking things right
Some people think we don't look square at each other
Some people live in luxury
I know it sounds real nice but baby that's not me
I got no mansion out in Beverley Hills
I'm lookin' sideways down I probably always will
But it don't mean nothin, nothin to me
cause I'll always find you where I need you to be
Some people want all the things that money can buy
I'm happy waitin' on the side they can all pass me by
I got enough in my pocket for this bottle of wine
'long as I got you hunny I'll be fine
My life is spinning like a great big wheel
fell off the winnin track and I'm not coming back
nobondy know exactally how I feel
but you're a friend of mine
you're always right on time
when my soul gets weary you've been there for me
gonna cast my troubles out over the sea
Some people want all the things that money can buy
I'm happy waitin' on the side they can all pass me by
I got enough in my pocket for this bottle of wine
'long as I got you hunny I'll be fine
Some people live in luxury
I know it sounds real nice livin in paradise
I got no mansion out in Beverley Hills
I'm lookin' sideways down I probably always will
But it don't mean nothin, nothin to me
cause I'll always find you where I need you to be
Some people want all the things that money can buy
I'm happy waitin' on the side they can all pass me by
I got enough in my pocket for this bottle of wine
'long as I got you hunny I'll be fine
Some people want all the things that money can buy
I'm happy waitin' on the side they can all pass me by
I got enough in my pocket for this bottle of wine
Some people love shoes
of certain kinds
Some people like afternoons,
or the way the moon shines
Some people love sleeping,
as I do too.That's why I ask myself,
"What it is with you?"
Is there something wrong
with the way I speak?
Do you even see me
when I pass you on the street.
I'll close my eyes and let it be
Because I just can't see
why you love to hate me
Some people love weekends
Because they can fool around
Some people love thunderstorms
Because of how the drops of rain fall down
And they have their own reasons
Whatever they may be
That’s why I think it’s kind of funny
That you don’t have one for me
Is there something wrong
With the way I speak
Do you even see me
When I pass you on the street
I’ll close my eyes and let it be
Because I just can’t see
why you love to hate me
and it sucks to face the truth
that I ain’t got no reasons too
whenever asked the simple question
why I feel the way I do
and I know it’s stupid on my part
to say that I love you
Even though I know you hate me
And you don’t know why you do
Is there something wrong with the way I speak
Do you even see me when I pass you on the street
I’ll close my eyes and let it be
Some people look up to you
Some people look down
Some people just say good bye
When you're saying hello
Some people they like you
Some people they don't
Some people they may believe in something
They don't even know
Cry out, baby here I come
You'd better not let life get you down
You wanna hold on
Wanna live it up
You wanna shine, bright as the sun
Some people they hate you
Some people they don't
Some people they catch you out
When you're moving too slow
Cry out, baby here I come
You'd better keep showing a smile
It is an easy way to get it right
If you are keep walking your line
Bababa ... and your word means the world
Some people they say ya
Some people say no
Some people they just don't know the difference
Between life and show
Cry out ...
Momma Rose
Anybody that stays home is dead
If I die it won't be from sitting
It will be from fighting to get up and get out!
Some people can get a thrill
knitting sweaters and sitting still.
That's okay for some people
who don't know they're alive.
Some people can thrive and bloom
living life in the living room.
That's perfect for some people
of one hundred and five.
But I at least gotta try
when I think of all the sights that I gotta see
and all the places I gotta play,
all the things that I gotta be at.
Come on, papa, what do you say?
Some people can be content
playing bingo and paying rent.
That's peachy for some people,
for some hum-drum people to be,
but some people ain't me!
I had a dream,
a wonderful dream, papa,
all about June in the Orpheum circuit.
Gimme a chance and I know I can work it.
I had a dream.
Just as real as can be, papa.
There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office
and he was saying to me, "Rose,
get yourselves some new orchestrations,
new routines and red velvet curtains.
Get a feathered hat for the baby;
photographs in front of the theatre.
Get an agent and in jig time
you'll be being booked in the big time."
Oh, what a dream.
A wonderful dream, papa.
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, papa.
That's what he said, papa.
Only eighty-eight bucks.
Papa
You ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, Rose.
Rose
Well, I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And get my kids out!
Goodbye to blueberry pie.
Good riddance to all the socials I had to go to,
all the lodges I had to play,
all the shriners I said hello to.
Hey, L.A., I'm comin' your way!
Some people sit on their butts;
got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
That's living for some people,
for some hum-drum people I suppose.
Well, they can stay and rot!
But not Rose!
Oh and on the screen my love and trust is making out
with other guys
And I drank not enough to make me drunk and just enough
to make me tired
And it's too easy to be awful to the ones you need the
most
So in the end all I hope is that they know
Ask the bottom from the top and they will tell you that
it's lonely too
So find a gun and spin the wheel and try to figure
which god you'll choose
It's too easy to be angry at the ones that you don't
know
So don't ask questions, don't ask directions, just go
So paint your pickets white and beat your wife just
don't forget to shut the blinds
If you can keep your neighbours in the dark then surely
God can close her eyes
'Cause it's too easy to be righteous when you eat what
you've been fed
Some people don't question what they've read
Some people should
Some people
Some people
So what do you do, what do you do when you go home?
Now what do you do, what do you do when you go home?
Now what do you do, what do you do when you go home?
Now what do you do, what do you do when you go home?
Now what do you do, what do you do when you go home?
Some people
fra lippo lippi
Some people will do anything for you
some people even think they own you, too
some people like to think they know it all
some people just don't see it when they fall
Tell me why, tell me why
there's no sun in your sky
tell me why, tell me why
there's no love in your eyes
tell me why, tell me why
there's no sun in your sky
tell me why, tell me why
there's no love in your eyes
Sometimes i wanna to scream and shout at you
sometimes i wanna sing my joy to you
sometimes i wanna leave it all behind
sometimes i don't know where to start at all
No, so tell me why, tell me why
there's no sun in your sky
tell me why, tell me why
there's no love in your eyes
tell me why, tell me why
there's no sun in your sky
tell me why, tell me why
there's no love in your eyes
Instrumental
Tell me why, tell me why
there's no sun in your sky
tell me why, tell me why
there's no love in your eyes
tell me why, tell me why
there's no sun in your sky
tell me why, tell me why
Some people like kinky sex
Some zombies like the fuckin' ex
Some fuckin businessmen like wars
Some tv stations like horrors
Some people love themselves
Some girls like natural smells
Some people like softness
Some people rather like Beat Dis
Some people like everything
Some people like anything
Some people like to get their kicks
Some officious men like dinky things
Some people like to work duty bound
In the daily rounds, around and around
Some people like to read daily rags
Some people like to smoke grass
Some people like softness
Faithful is a lie
Freedom's just a game
somebody tacked onto
your ball and chain
Love is a drug
You've been canonized
Want to be a high priestess?
then you got to sacrifice
Somebody wants you
to put out your eyes
and drag you lower
on the ladder than he is
Reel you in slowly
kingfish on a line
Some people get a kick
out of making you suffer
You try the patience of the gods
in the heat of a moment's pleasure
and your sad retreat
Mistake the moment for the song
The actor for the role
The neon light for day
Somebody wants you
to clip your wings
Take shelter in the dark
and the savage heat
Mocks you with the burning sky
and drops you in the ring
Somebody gets a kick
out of seeing you suffer
He can't take pleasure
He feeds on pain
He ain't no gambler
He just likes to play the game
It's a measure of a man
It's a candle in the rain
to treasure the link

And some people understand their dream

You made it easy then, we had a great time
Some people dance cheek to cheek

You made it easy then, we had a great time
Some people dance cheek to cheek
Some people dance
Life was so simple then, a kind of playtime

Some people just have different dreams n different desires
So you gotta just scratch ya own itch
[The Grouch:]
Some people get better with time
And some people have a hard time (yeah)
Some people, they age like wine
And other people, they can't find themselves, man
Some people get better with time
And some people have a hard time (y'know?)
Some people, they age like wine
And other people, they can't find themselves
You gotta
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move
Well then
Move on, move on, move on
I used to have love and now I can't stand this fool
This couldn't have happened even if I planned it to
Friends for life on a spectrum so wide
Nobody works perfect
Believe me, I tried
But when two worlds collide
You gotta give somethin'
Take a step back and learn to live humble
You know pride, it'll eat you up inside
And all that self-pity will turn your whole world shitty
I'm a no-girl's kitty [? ] tryin' to hang on, dearly
Live days sincerely and see both sides clearly
There's no room to build enemyships
Especially out of old friends
When'll we quit?
Went from penalty kicks to it don't mean shit
Ridiculousness, actin' like bitches that diss (hey)
(bing) turn the page
(pow) quit actin' like a child
Are you wild up and ready to be petty?
That's a heartbreaker
Well I'll be the chargetaker and make sure it don't happen in the future
Extend my hand while you cryin' like a rooster
Damn, dig up the root and be a man
(yeah, show 'em how to be a man)
Some people get better with time
And some people have a hard time (yeah)
Some people, they age like wine
And other people, they can't find themselves, man
Some people get better with time
And some people have a hard time (y'know?)
Some people, they age like wine
And other people, they can't find themselves
You gotta
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move
Well then
Move on, move on, move on
With every stroke of the clock is more pressure
Who could fully understand the growth of a child more or less
This innocence exposed
Free form, no mode
To experience livin' in possibilities I hold
Visions in my head I wanna spread
To these children before they get sidetracked
What sport are you reeled in?
And I'm not talkin' about shieldin'
What's in the glass are comin' half ass
Me, I don't really want the last laugh (nope)
Just to be laughin' at all my last days
Because somebody else is passin' up the mark that I made
Turnin' dark to light
Or bark the bite
Blindfolded, flyin', and all without a fight
I'm all about in the knight, tryin' to kick down the deamons
With all my big sounds screamin' like he-men (arrr)
Fuck the power of grey skull
'til my skull is grey - every day, all day
I'mma never fall prey
Some people get better with time
And some people have a hard time (yeah)
Some people, they age like wine
And other people, they can't find themselves, man
Some people get better with time
And some people have a hard time (y'know?)
Some people, they age like wine
And other people, they can't find themselves
You gotta
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move
Well then
Move on, move on, move on
Your body is a tool, mind is too
Shape them well, feel them them the finest food
If knowledge is power then most of us are bustlers
It's easy to beat that, you gotta tussle with the bad
Bring yourself back to the essence
Make your presence felt when you're there and you're stressin' your points
Put oil on your joints
Kill the t.v
Deal with people face-to-face if you don't believe me
Join the race, flow some oxygen through the brain
Remember that you learned and apply it so you gain
Drop game on a lane
And later he'll be walkin'
Chalk it up is just choppin' it closin' options
Never frozen, 'cause we are the chosen
'bout to set an emotion and keep coastin'
Keep coastin'
Keep coastin'
Keep coastin'
Some people get better with time
And some people have a hard time (yeah)
Some people, they age like wine
And other people, they can't find themselves, man
Some people get better with time
And some people have a hard time (y'know?)
Some people, they age like wine
And other people, they can't find themselves
You gotta
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on, move
Well then
