I was falling for some time
Passing others, as they'd climb
In a moment very clear
You seemed to beckon, come here dear
Emma, sure as the sun's shining on you
I can tell I'm in your spell
Emma you're the one, oh
If they ever change your mind
Try to leave it all behind
If there ever comes a time
You go your way, and I'll go mine
Emma, sure as the moon circles over
Heaven knows, that's how it goes
Emma you're the one, oh
I can tell I'm in your spell
Emma, you're the one, oh
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
It stretches out across the hills and streams, over every mountain high,
And turns the prairies into fields of dreams
When you reach for lofty places,when you soar through open spaces,
what your heart and soul embraces in the sky.
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies.
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
(Something special in the air).
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies.
That's where freedom flies.
Emma appeared like an angel
Emma fell like rain
Into my lap like a heart attack, like lightning from her name
I'm running dry of bad excuses
Don't want to lie or seem intrusive
But time hasn't told me anything, and neither has she
A poinsettia in poison rain
Traded true love for insult and injury
We washed it down the drain with one silver bullet and two vicodin
With two vicodin
Emma woke up in darkness, suitcase already packed
Note on the bedstand signed in blood, "Sincerely, never coming back."
A nightmare on my street the day she arrived
A nightmarish household in which she died, because it made her feel at home
Somehow made me feel at home
A poinsettia in poison rain
Traded true love for insult and injury
We washed it down the drain with one wooden stake through the heart and two vicodin
A poinsettia in poison rain
Traded true love for insult and injury
We washed it down the drain with one silver bullet and two vicodin
We watched the sun fall crown on a city that sleeps in a world upside down
A slow ticket straight out of town
You went out with a bang when you took with you all my dreams underground
Emma was the lawman and I was the brave
We got in trouble, we'd never behave
And we'd run around all morning and rest in the shade
I remember where I stood telling Emma
We were best friends for good
We started school the inseparable pair
And I'd chase the boys who were pulling her hair
And she climbed up the tower accepting my dare
At the early age of eight I told Emma if she fell I'd be there
In time I would carry her books, that's when it began
I started to notice her looks and the sweat in my hand
Then there was a totally new game to play
We both gave our promise to never betray
And I was so sure we'd be married one day
At the early age of ten I loved Emma and I would 'til the end
One day she climbed up the tower, she kept looking down
The split-second lasted for hours 'til she lay on the ground
And right then I grew up in every way
I buried the child in me that day
But I guess not completely or I wouldn't say
That part of me believes that sweet Emma will come back someday
It's so good to see your face tonight
I could have sworn it was a trick of light
I've been haunted, I been so alone
In no-man's-land, in a twilight zone
Oh Emma, oh please
Help now I'm on my knees
Oh Emma, hold tight
Just don't let go of me tonight
Like a wrung-out rag, I've been hanging on a line
I'm washed-out and I'm empty, and I'm barely alive
Way too tired of running, and my luck is all burned out
The grain of truth remaining tells me how I need you now
Oh Emma, don't leave me
I'm on my knees believe me
Oh Emma, hold tight
Don't let me slip away tonight
Give me hope and give me strength, pull me back into this
world
Give me life again to love you, and I promise that I will
Oh Emma, please help me
These feelings overwhelming me
Oh Emma, hold tight
Emma stood in front of me
Tellin' me what I'm supposed to be
Jackie loves to run and hide
Give her love, and she will die
Calling me, oh my oh my
Cross my heart and hope to die
Bourbon streets and bicycles
Holding you in carnivals
Baby is my love too old for you?
Baby is my love too old for you?
'Cause Emma I'm for you
Emma I'm for you
Dinner bells and loaded gun
Innocence is bound to run
Enemies are playing from
But don't you touch that golden sun
Innoncence and sentiment
Is owned by hope it's where you're at
Baby is my love too old for you?
Emma I'm for you
Emma I'm for you
Hell and silence, I can fight it, I can fight it
Hell and silence, I can fight it, I can fight it
Hell and silence, I can fight it, I can fight it
Hell and silence, I can fight it, I can fight it
Hell and silence, I can fight it, I can fight it
Hell and silence, I can fight it, I can fight it
Hell and silence, I can fight it, I can fight it
Hell and silence, Emma I'm for you
Emma I'm for you
Emma I'm for you, you, you, you
Emma I'm for you, you, you, you
Emma I'm for you
Emma I'm for you
Emma I'm for you
Emma I'm for you
We were together since we were five
She was so pretty
Emma was a star in ev'ryone's eyes.
And when she said she'd be a movie queen
Nobody laughed
Her face like an angel
She could be anything.
Emmalene. Emma
Emmalene
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen.
Emmalene
Emma
Emmalene
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen
At seventeen we were wed
And worked day and night to earn our daily bread.
And ev' ry day
Emma would go out searching for that play
That never ever came her way.
You know
sometimes she'd come home so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room
Feel so distressed.
And I'd remember back
when she was five
To the words that used to make
Emmalene come alive.
Emmalene
Emma
Emmalene
It was cold and dark
December night
When I opened up the bedroom door
To find her Iying still and cold up on the bed;
A love letter lying on the bedroom floor
It read:
Darling, I love youBut I just can't keep on living on dreams no more I tried so very hard not to leave you alone.I just can't keep on tryin' no more
I went to this dance
With al my crazy friends
We were getting quite wasted
And I felt like a fool.
But then I saw you.
You said my name is Emma
And I knew I could thrust you
You took my hand
Ive tried to hold back my tears
Because I didnt believe this was real
Emma in my life
Emma all the time
You know Im crazy about you
Thats why i want you
We went outside
And I thought you must be mine
Heaven gives us a sign
Snowflakes passing by
And all I could do is smile
Its time to go
Damm girl I love you so
This was the night of my live
You had this twinkle in your eyes
Saying this isnt the end of time
Emma in my life
Emma all the time
You know Im crazy about you
Emma
Nothing happens
You're pretty
But it's too quiet
You look beautiful
When we wake up
Emma I'm no good
It makes you cry
I'm no good
It makes me hide
Et ma télé est allumée, Emma t'es là
Et dire que ma journée est à peine entamée
Emma tu m'as déjà scotché au canapé
Emma t'es vraiment 10 fois plus belle que Tara
Emma comment fais-tu pour être aussi sûre de toi
Tes coups de pied m'ont quelque peu emasculé
Emma je t'en prie rend moi ma virilité
Emma t'es vraiment 100 fois plus belle que Tara
Emma t'es belle et ma copine elle t'aime pas
Emma t'es bonne et ma pile va bientôt claquer
Emma t'es froide comme le carrelage de mes W-C
Emma t'es vraiment 1000 fois plus belle que Tara
Emma Emma Emma Emma
Emma y-a y-a Emma y-a-é
Emma y-a y-a Emma y-a-a
Et ma télé va exploser Emma tais-toi
Et dire que pour toi j'aurais gâché ma santé
Emma t'as même pas réussi à me soulager
Emma t'es vraiment périmée rhabilles-toi
Emma y-a y-a Emma y-a-é
The first time I saw Emma
She was above me in a dream
And she throwed her arms around me
And off we flew, it seemed
Like an airplane
Moving up and down
Through the country town
Passing oe'r the cities so slow
Slowly...
But Emma comes to see me
About 8 o'clock each night
And she throws her arms around me
And off we go in flight
Like an airplane
Moving up and down
Through the country town
Passing over the cites so slow
Slowly...
But Emma's late
Emma's late
Oooh and I
I can't wait
My dinners served by half past eight and
I can't wait
Can't wait 'til 9
The last time I saw my Emma
She made me love her 'til I died
And we walked through clouds together
Searching open skies
fFr airplane
Moving up and down though the country town
Passing over the cites so slow
Slowly
But Emma's late, Emma's late, Emma's late
and I
I can't wait
My dinner's served by half past 8 and
I can't wait

I think they're just waiting to set something up
Shall we rehearse?
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
and the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
in your hair
And starlight in your eyes
Like they do
That is why all the guys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
If only for a minute
Id settle for an hour
And if you could stay just for one day
That would make me so happy happy baby
See it wont hurt to give our love a try
Girl dont u pass me by
Cuz Im that kind of guy
Whos going to love and treat you like a queen
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Come a little closer baby
Lay your head up on my shoulder baby
Boy you know I cant deny it
You done already set my soul on fire
Just like me, they long to be

an NOW! you go around playin these games
thinkin your messin wid ma brain
got ma hand on the mirror an sooner or later
the truth is gonna come out ohh
Love isn't funny when it is burning inside
When all you think of is how to get through the night
And when you want it, it's just a game that you play
And when you get it they're gonna take it away
Maybe it's nothing, maybe it's all just in my mind
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe it's just a waste of time
But I don't think so maybe I definitely know
That maybe, maybe I'm in love
So if you want it, you wanna come out to play
Then you can have it 'cause he's got plans for the day
And if I want it there's no one out there for me
When you don't need it there's plenty fish in the sea
Maybe it's nothing, maybe it's all just in my mind
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe it's just a waste of time
But I don't think so, maybe I definitely know
Why do I keep fooling myself, why can't I let go?
This is not like me but now I definitely see
That maybe, maybe, maybe I'm in love
But I don't think so, maybe I definitely know
Why do I keep fooling myself, why can't I let go?
This is not like me but now I definitely see
That maybe, maybe, maybe I'm in love
Love isn't funny, when it is burning inside
When all you think of is how to get through the night
And when you want it, it's just a game that you play
And when you get it they're gonna take it away
Maybe it's nothing, maybe it's all just in my mind
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe it's just a waste of time
But I don't think so maybe I definitely know
Why do I keep fooling myself, why can't I let go?
This is not like me but now I definitely see
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, he'll never phone you.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
Don't tell me what is all about,
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you give your heart?
You get it all broken up and battered
That's what you get a heart that's shattered
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you need a guy?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
What do you get when you fall
What do you get
[Repeat 3x]
Never fall in love
Never fall in love
Never fall
What do you get
Never fall, never fall
I'll never fall in love again, again, again
Now here's a little story!
My dad told!
His greatest life secret!
Unfolds
In this world
Where everything's been said
What can I come up with every line sounds the same
So I try to write it down
Some words come out
Bigger then others
Cause I think too far ahead
You can't see!
Cause I can see!
Better then!
I see my own!
Attraction gets the best of me
My thoughts are accident-prone
But you're too wrong for me
You left me alone with bedroom photos
Left to cure the cuts
Drowned under
These false hopes
That numbs your bones
Drowned under
Make way for!
Way for
Cut me up, Eddie!
Cut me up!
Just like your bush!
Cut me up!
Start with my hair!
Cut it off!
Then off my tattoos1
Strip them!
She made me so plain!
Plain!
So I'll dress the part!
Dress it!
She put out my spark!
Put out my...
Emma, I'm sorry for you.
Going away with a man you don't love
Looks like the good Lord has given you up
Emma, I'm sorry for you.
She loves her father so well
But, he married another when her mama died
And Emma married someone too just out of spite
But, she loves her father so well
When Emma was only 16
She married a man her father's age
She told him that her stepmama drove her away
When Emma was only 16
She married a Cherokee city man
With cold, cruel hands and jealous eyes
She says when he goes out to drink he locks her in at
night
Yeah, she married a Cherokee city man
Emma wears a tin, dime-store charm
Because twice she's left him, but once she's gone back
And the last time she left she tore off that wedding
band
So Emma wears a tin, dime-store charm
There's a man who's coming for her
A black-hatted man with a weed in his mouth
Emma's husband sent this man to bring her back to town
There's a man who's coming for her
She's cried for two days now
She doesn't want to leave her family again
She begs, "Please don't let that black-hatted man in!"
Yeah, she's cried for two days now
She longs for a stranger to love
Late in the night, deep in her sleep
Emma dreams of kindness and mystery
We've come so far on this great planet
We should be proud of all the great things we've
achieved
But in our search for life's great knowledge
We go on takin' out and never plant new seeds
Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together
Give a little love back to the world
We've got to stop, think of tomorrow
One day our children may have nothing left to share
Let's do it now, then in the future
They will look back at us with pride and know we cared
Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together
We got no time to hesitate
Tomorrow it may be too late
Give a little love back to the world
We can't go on takin' out forever
Give a little love back to the world
We still got time, let's do it together
We still got time, we can do it together
Give a little love back to the world
Its hot outside
But it feels like its raining in side
Tears have been made
Promises broken
Hearts torn
But I dont want anymore
Because we can do whatever we want to
If we put our heart into it
So let go
So hang on
Live life until the end
Do what your heart tells you
Not your brain
Because I can do
Whatever I want to
You feel little left out
You want to cry
Thats fine
Just dont put in your way
Just try and try again
Keep on going and youll be happy in the end
Because we can do whatever we want to
If we put our heart into it
So let go
So hang on
Live life until the end
Do what your heart tells you
Not your brain
Because I can do
Whatever I want to
So dont let go
Your dreams will be lived
Dont let time beat you to the finish line
Put in your heart and soul
And do what you want to
Because we can do whatever we want to
If we put our heart into it
So let go
So hang on
Live life until the end
Do what your heart tells you
Not your brain
Because I can do
Whatever I want to
Its hot outside
It feels like its raining inside
We got past!
The leaves fall
It's just in time!
To fly!
And after all!
We're all alone!
With worries worthless again
And after all!
Things won't fix themselves!
All around lay to waste
Long drives, close friends, cold nights
Tend to make me sing to myself, sing to myself
Small towns, old friends, crosswalks
Tend to make me sing to myself, sing to myself
When we locked eyes on your fight
Glass separates our minds, and lives
Spread arms, great concrete blindly
Fly, girl, fly
Glass saves lives
And after all!
We're all alone!
With worries worthless again
And after all!
Things won't fix themselves!
All around lay to waste
We got past!
The leaves fall!
Just in time to fly
Fly, girl, fly
When we locked eyes on your fight
Glass separates our minds, and lives
We got past!
The leaves fall
Worries worthless again!
Just in time to fly!
Sit around and lay to waste
Sell me smiles in blue bottles
For bad hair days!
The counter calls when burdens cross
Sell me smiles!
Swallow up!
Tears of joy stream from my numbing brain
Swallow up!
You'll turn to stone if you keep making that
You sell me fantasy!
You sell the death of me!
I love you
My new best friend
Don't leave me
Breathing parts the silence painfully
Without you here again
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Sell me smiles in blue bottles
For bad hair days!
The counter calls when burdens cross
Sell me smiles!
Swallow up!
Tears of joy stream from my numbing brain
Swallow up!
You'll turn to stone if you keep making that
Woah!
Every year ten million prescription medications
are filled incorrectly.
Calm me, numb me!
It lives my life!
Takes my control!
Your sleeves
Are so cliché
So I wear it on my face
Abusing your control
Yet again, and again!
You abuse...!
Your...!
You abuse...!
Stumbling cross white lines
When your mistakes
Speak from under these boards!
I still wore your ring
One phone call away
From starting again!
Chalk outlines
Lay in my hall
Our crazy play
Strike poses on the floor
I'll breathe you in
To rest my throat
Anesthesia my only hopes!
You abuse...!
Your...!
You abuse!
Stumbling cross white lines
When your mistakes
Speak from under these boards!
I still wore your ring
One phone call away
From starting again!
Your sleeves
Are so cliché
So I wear it on my face
Abusing your control
Yet again, and again
Your sleeves
Are so cliché
So I wear it on my face
Abusing your control
Yet again, and again
You!
Abuse!
Your!
Control!
You!
See!
Face!
So everyone runs!
But I'll never see you again!
Again!
Everyone runs!
But I'll catch you!

The first light!
Showed me life!
Twice as bright!
Lost his mind!
But last night!
We learned to dance
This pure face tastes metal destiny
Tied down by flesh and blood
As I lay, as I lay!
Shaking tracks, slap me awake
Rushing light, take me away!
Rushing light!
Being with you
Longing for something to happen
Biding my time
Hoping to get a reaction
Atmosphere's tense
Heavy with anticipation
Don't leave me here
With only my imagination
Free me
Now free me
Let me loose to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you
Oh, free me
Let me loose to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you now
How long can I
Continue to suffer in silence?
My aching heart
Can't bear to wait in such suspense
So maybe it's time
To tell you just how I am feeling
It's full on desire
I have too long been concealing
Free me
Now free me
Let me loose to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you
Oh, free me
Let me loose to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you now

Yeah, how I long to seduce you
Oh, free me
Let me loose to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you
Oh, free me
Let me loose to love you
Your stories told
Through the rearview
They leak it from your throat
Bright red!
Goes the stoplight
They're coming from behind
And who you gonna call?
Who you gonna call!?
Guard yourself...
Around here we play for souls
Let it leak out slow!
We won't let go!
Let it leak out slow
We're all... trapped inside!
Trapped inside!
These matchstick men!
The fire!
Is colors we can't see
The smoke!
Makes designs
That don't come out so clearly
Guard yourself...
Around here we play for souls
Let it leak out slow!
We won't let go!
Let it leak out slow
Your empty bodies past
Has left me scraping imperfections with my teeth
Scraping imperfections on your grave
And the smell of sweet enamel
Is sure to remind you
That I'll be here
And my jaw won't forget
I'll be here
My jaw won't forget!
I wont forget!
I wont forget!
I won't, no!
Guard yourself...
Around here we play for souls
Let it leak out slow
We wont let go!
![The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the silvertip bear, is a subspecies of brown bear (Ursus arctos) that generally lives in the uplands of western North America. This subspecies is thought to descend from Ussuri brown bears which crossed to Alaska from Eastern Russia 100,000 years ago, though they did not move south until 13,000 years ago.[1] Grizzlies are normally solitary active animals, but in coastal areas the grizzly congregates alongside streams, lakes, rivers, and ponds during the salmon spawn. Every other year, females (sows) produce one to four young (commonly two) which are small and weigh only about 500 grams (one pound). A sow is protective of her offspring and will attack if she thinks she or her cubs are threatened.](http://web.archive.org./web/20140523033007im_/http://cdn3.wn.com/ph/img/1f/66/6026cbb97399a2dd5c8baa609dd2-small.jpg "The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the silvertip bear, is a subspecies of brown bear (Ursus arctos) that generally lives in the uplands of western North America.
