I saw my love I saw my love
but it was a surprise
for I had not revealed myself
wearing a disguise
and I knew the door was locked
no open window here
I was busy giving up
I had disappeared from sight
then you turned on the light
baby how did you get in
I knew my love I knew my love
but I didn’t know
dancing with the obstacles
drinking down the walls
falling into every hole
touching every skin
I’m so glad you found me girl
won’t you tear me limb from limb
blowing like the wind
baby how did you get in
how did you how did you
how did you get in
how did you how did you
how did you get in
I heard my love I heard my love
singing in my ear
the sweetest voice I ever heard
bringing me to tears
how did you find your way to me
it was cold and dark
I was the man made of stone
how did you break into my heart
you broke in my heart
my heart my heart
you broke in my heart
Don’t know the time
don’t really want to know
don’t know the way
like I did before
I ve been wandering all around
looking for the same ol’ you
but I need somethin’ new
I been alone
inside a crowd
I lost my home
but I’m still around
cold wind licking up
the back of my neck
reminding me of you
but I need somethin’ new
I need somethin’ sweet
somethin’ strong
and somethin’ deep
keeps me rockin’ all night long
I been trying to find
baby you know I been trying to find
baby you know I’m just trying to find
somethin’ new
the enemy who runs the world
has won the war and stole my girl
but oh babe I’m gonna keep on fighting
singing till the walls fall down
cause I need somethin’ now
chorus
its what you feel
not the games you play
its what you do
not the things you say
I been standing
at the edge of the world
searching for the truth
cause I need somethin’ new
It started out all wrong
the money wasn't there
standin' on the corner
wondering just where
I was gonna go
now that there was
nowhere else to go
runnin' round all night
woke up with my rights
now I see the light
yesterday's over
she run off with a dream
who snuck her from my room
almost got away
then I smelled her perfume
shining in the face
of a guilty moon
lovers in the trees
broken hearts are free
now I finally see
yesterday's over
and today
I'll fight for tomorrow
and tonight
I'll live for today
in the morning Startin' over
I'll find another way
millions die from need
while greedy bastards lie
selling us those golden
plastic reasons why
they get everything
just because they're lucky
runnin' from the hype
runnin' for my life
now I see the light
yesterday's over
and today
I'll fight for tomorrow
and tonight
I'll live for today
in the morning Startin' over
I'll find another way
demons like police
ghosts in velvet suits
victims of martinis
and thigh high leather boots
tryin' to control the world
they been abusin'
now I'm breakin' free
take your hands off me
cuz I finally see
You look, for love
All around town
You couldn't find none
Just alot of lost and lonely souls
Running wild
You look, for life
Hangin' upside down off a late night
Trippin' hard through those dusty hearts
Smiling like a knife
But when you come for me baby
I'll tear the walls apart
And when you come for me baby
I'll open up your heart
And you know that I would
You run, around
Girl even when you're feeling down
Somehow you keep on flyin'
Even when you fall
You hide out in the hearts
Saw you sneakin' out after dark
Steppin' over those empty bottles
Like lovers in the park
But when you come for me baby
I'll tear the walls apart
And when you come for me baby
I'll open up your heart
And you know that I would
Carry the water
And love you tomorrow
Well you know that I would
You look, for love
But girl you didn't look hard enough
Cuz you didn't see me standin' here
Laughin' in the rain
You look, for life
Girl you're turnin' out the light
And baby if you can't see no one
No one can see you
We walk down a deadly line
Don't look ahead baby
Don't look behind
We walk thru these stainless ruins
A civilization created by fools
Who bide their time
At the wishing well
Where you lose your dime
You go straight to hell
We live on a dangerous ledge
Don't look down baby
You're close to the edge
We live in these perilous times
Drinking with angels who pay for the wine
To find a way
To get somewhere
Seems like these days
Done run out of air
But we walk
Yeah we walk
And we walk
We walk in this murderous sun
Some use a check book
And some use a gun
We walk in these faceless nights
If you want me baby then hold on real tight
We slip and slide
We lose our pride
No place to hide
From what's left inside
CHORUS
We walk down a mountain of doom
Mugging for cameras they stick in our rooms
We run from the river of hope
All it's reflections
Are fractured and broke
They keep us down
With perfumed clowns
And dirty towns
Spin our heads around and around
Walk (cont.)
But we walk
Yeah we walk
And we walk
We walk down a deadly line
It’s this way to there
no I won’t let you down
it’s this way to there
yes you’ve been released
well it’s this way to there
say can you hear the sound
I hear it all around
it’s this way to there
and it’s this way to there
ain’t talkin’ bout’ Hollywood
ain’t talkin’ bout’ Washington
there’s just a common bond
it runs thru everyone
and if you hold on to it
sing your songs to it
your heart is a drum
hold it high in the air
cuz’ it’s this way to there
it’s this way to love
for those who ain’t had enough
it’s this way to love
if you show me you care
well it’s this way to love
calling all vagabonds
busted and broken
and damaged like you
and it’s this way to there
ain’t talkin’ bout’ no cluster bombs
no stolen elections
no crooked Enrons
there’s just a common bond
it runs thru everyone
and if you hold on to it
sing your songs to it
your heart is a drum
hold it high in the air
cuz’ it’s this way to there...
I was a liar
I was a thief
he was a fool
she was a cheat
and who is the killer
can’t sleep from the fear
and sometimes it seems
like we’re just one big tear
it’s this way to there
it’s this way to get it done
it’s this way to there
so lay down your guns
well it’s this way to there
it’s this way to overcome
it’s this way to go
where you would if you could
and it’s this way to there
ain’t talkin’ bout Babylon
there ain’t no Pentagon
no Cheney or Bush
no Rumsfield or Powell
there’s no Bin Laden
there ain’t no Saddam
or his weapons of mass destruction
if only we could find them
there’s just a common bond
it runs thru everyone
and if you hold on to it
sing your song to it
and when you’re feeling low
and when you’re all alone
your heart is a poem
say it soft as a prayer
cuz’ it’s this way to there
this way to there
Stole your money
stole your morning sun
stole your makeup
I stole your shinny gun
stole your abstract painting
stole your new TV
took your big plans
drove off in your SUV
guess I was trying to set you free
now that you have nothing
I still want you you you
baby I still want you
stole your hero
stole his super game
stole his sneakers
along with their brand name
stole your rock and roller
stole your movie star
took ‘em home and turned my room
into a trendy bar
lord sometimes I go to far
now that you have nothing
I still want
baby I still want
I still want you you you
baby I still want you
I work at night
real quiet
I slip inside
where you can’t hide away
stole your lover
the one who didn't care
stole your mother
seems like she was always there
stole your little secrets
they were in your diary
stole your best friend
gave her all your jewelry
though some of it looked good on me
now that you have nothing
I still want baby I still want
I still want you you you
baby I still want you
I work at night
real quiet
I slip inside
where you can’t hide away
stole your crucifix
stole your drugs
stole your chocolate ice cream
baby I took daddy’s hugs
stole the moonlight
baby I stole the moon
stole the flower in your hair
took a sweet kiss too
what else could this poor thief do
now that you have nothing
I still want I baby I still want
I still want you you you
baby I still want you
now that I have everything
Speaking for myself
Let me be the one to tell you
Right to your face
Speaking for myself
Let me be the one
To lead you out of this place
Let me be the water boilin'
In a pot of yesterdays
Get high, start to cry
One day you're gonna say
Speaking for yourself
Found out that you played a bigger part
Than you knew
Speaking for yourself
Suddenly you found out there was more in you
Speakin' like a neon burnin' soldier
Fightin' for a righteous soul
Get high, start to cry
But one day I know you'll know
It's your time, It's your turn
It's your life, It's your world
Speaking for ourselves
We stood up to the night
Crashing down on our head
Speaking for ourselves
We stood up to the lies
Spoken by the living dead
Stood up to the violence
Turning heroes into killers
Turning lovers into a widow's child
Get high, start to cry
One day you'll realize
It's your time, It's your turn
It's your life, It's your world
Speaking for myself
Let me be the one to tell you
Right to your face
Speaking for myself
Let me be the one
To take you out of this place
Took a train to New York city
Runnin' from my own despair
Caught up in these crazy days
Fallin' out of love affairs
I woke up to the sound of thunder
You could hear it everywhere
Put my ear down to the ground
Cuz there's a war goin' on, There's a war, war, war, goin' on
Mama's leavin' daddy cuz Daddy wasn't happy
They're both searchin' for something they'll
Probly never find
In this faithless society
With no respect for you and me
It's drivin' us out of our minds
Cuz there's a war goin' on , There's a war, war, war, goin' on
You didn't join the army and
You don't want to deal
Workin' for the minimum
Tryin' hard to feel like
You ain't just another fool
A cog in their machine
That's sucking the soul of everything
Cuz there's a war goin' on, There's a war, war, war, goin' on
Drive by shootings blow up
Blood stained t.v. shows
Where life is cheaper
Than bad writing
And thrown away like litter
While outside in the real world
People live on frozen streets
They stare at ya down to the bone
Cuz there's a war goin' on , There's a war, war, war, goin' on
Alcoholics ain't anonymous
There's addicts in the family
Dreamin' of false promises
No one ever made
Envious of millionaires
But not a workin' father
Whose left his whole life
At the gate
Cuz there's a war goin' on, There's a war, war, war, goin' on
Chemicals for pleasure
Chemicals for pain
Plastic derivatives
Styrofoam distributed
We're livin' on this toxic dump
Air is bad medicine
Ain't it time we took back the sun
Cuz there's a war goin' on, There's a war, war, war, goin' on
And who will pay the price
And who will give their life
And who knows that there's no place
Left to run
Soldier boys in desert heat
Leave behind these crooked streets
To kill and die for foreign oil
They'll leave their hearts in dusty soil
The president loosens his tie
To get more comfortable with the lies
That he tells us again, and again, and again
Cuz there's a war goin' on, There's a war, war, war, goin' on
Body bags and unmarked graves
Robberies and murder rates
Unemployed and off to fight
Criminal or corporate types
Hollywood and Washington
Selling us another bomb
It's goin' off inside my head
Cuz there's a war goin' on, There's a war, war, war goin' on
And who will pray for peace
And who will cry for love
And who will still believe
In a world for everyone, everyone, everyone
Now I stand out on the street
Lookin' for a heart or two
To come together, join together
Maybe build the world anew
Broken pieces fill our eyes
So many people sing the blues
But tell me, what else can we do
She was running in the rain
felt everything was down the drain
she could either go insane
or try to live a lie
she’d been dancing on the pole
the lonely clowns they loved her show
she always makes them feel at home
while she was locked outside
but if just one time
we could close our eyes
we could change the night
we could paint the sky
try and hold the world
in the arms of love
like a dreamer who can”t wake up
he was living on the streets
where the concrete hurts your feet
if you haven't had enough to eat
and got no place to go
man how did it come to this?
he lived for luck but then it quit
left him nothing
but the bits and pieces
of his heart
but if just one time
we could close our eyes
we could change the night
we could paint the sky
try and hold the world
in the arms of love
like a dreamer who can”t wake up
how did it get so far?
how did it go so wrong?
and how do we keep going on?
how do we do it baby?
every night when she got off
he was in the parking lot
she threw a dollar in his cup
and blew a smile his way
he could see those angel wings
caught up in these puppet strings
he could see so many things
but no one heard him say
that if just one time
we could close our eyes
we could change the night
we could make it right
try and hold the world
in the arms of love
like a dreamer who can”t wake up
how did it get so far?
how did it go so wrong?
and how do we keep going on?
how do we do it baby?
I’d like to say she quit her job
I’d like to say that he found one
and they both ran off in the sun
but it never goes that way
she’s still dancing on the pole
novacaine for lonely souls
he’s still sleeping in the cold
When I saw you
it was Voodoo
like I knew you
saw right thru you
and you filled me
like the deepest wine
yeah, the hurting kind
walked on water
printed money
I danced naked, rum and honey
like a painter
couldn’t draw the line
for the hurting kind
and there’s danger
in the heartbeat
you step off twenty stories high
and the kissing leaves you dizzy
but boy you cannot fly
sad pajamas
missing in action
turn away boy, run away boy
just to ease your mind
from the hurting kind
find a side show
And then silence
filled with teardrops
cry louder even than the night
and yeah there’s honor
in the heartbreak
that’s looking for a fight
when I saw you
it was Voodoo
like I knew you
saw right thru you
and you filled me
like the deepest wine
Now I’m
gonna keep on comin’
against all odds
no one believed
now I’m
hot like the summer
rollin’ baby
gonna ride the breeze
right thru the night
these tattered dreams
like frozen ice
the blood of my love
fallin’ like rain
these lonely tears
they keep me alive
I’m the desert king ...
now I’m
stuck in the middle
touch me baby
so I can chose
now I’m
drunk just a little
show me baby
what I got to lose
behind your eyes
behind your smile
behind your heart
there is a place
nobody knows
I want to go there
I have to go there
I’m the desert king.....
my heart is rough
it don’t need much
I just need your love
my heart is tough
it don’t need much
I just need your love
now I’m
gonna stand for something
gonna rise up baby
howling at the sun
now I’m
gonna dance with nothing
gonna take your hand
take you on the run
past memories
like empty cabs
they sing for ghosts
they call out your name
the picture is blue
and no one can see
it’s really me
Woke up this morning
felt something was wrong
tried to put my finger on it
so I wrote this song
they say from space
the world looks blue
cause we’re still waitin
for love
still waitin’
someone got nothin’
someone gotta lot
somebody’s buying cocaine
someone’s buying stocks
out of balance
like a broken heart
cause we’re still waitin’
still waitin’
we’re still waitin’ for love
we’re still waitin’ for some
still waitin’
can I run from the shape I’m in
can I run all night
run until I run again
one thousand year old redwoods
proof that god exists
cut down by corperate raiders
for hot tubs full of sins
so many souls spinning
out of control
cause we’re still waitin’
still waitin’
yeah we’re still waitin’ for love
still waitin’
can I run from the place I been
can I run all night run until I run again
and I’m still waitin’
one man got a harem
and he got a priest
one woman got a husband
but she loves a thief
who gives her
everything she wants
but we’re still waitin’
we’re still waitin
yeah we’re still waitin’ for love
we’re still waitin’ for some
She drinks dead water
from a rusty dream
cuz it makes her stronger
it's later than it seems
and she keeps on tryin'
ain't nothin' else to do
but the nights get longer
and the blues more blue
so you try to hold her
but she can only fly
she can only fly
she eats bad mojo
tryin' to find a cure
and she walks a tight rope
cuz it makes her purr
and she swings to the music
got a gypsy's soul
and she wants to want you
and she lets you know
she takes what you're givin'
but she can only fly
she can only fly
she can only ask why
the room's still spinnin'
she only can lie
when she says she's comin' back
she only can cry in your arms
once again, and again......
she keeps her magic
where she keeps her heart
and you can't have it
til you hit the mark
and the song starts singin'
every time she smiles
and you want to want her
for a million miles
and you try to love her
but she can only fly
she can only fly
she can only ask why
the room's still spinnin'
she only can lie
when she says
she's comin' back
she only can cry in your arms
once again, and again......
she drinks dead water
from a rusty dream
cuz it makes her stronger
Sold my soul
but they bounced the check
now who’d a thought
I’d get a second chance
to stand up strong
on the front line
things are fucked
but I still feel fine
guess you thought
I given up on you
but I’m still in love
looks like you are too
yeah yeah yeah
woke up running
in the wrong direction
woke up crying
in a comedy club
woke up dreaming
in a rollercoaster
and then one day
I just woke up
guess you thought
I given up on you
but I’m still in love
looks like you are too
yeah yeah yeah
we been standin’
in a line to a line
we been waitin’
on a real goodtime
in a world gone blind
cause no one wants to see
don’t close your eyes
don’t close your eyes on me
yeah yeah yeah
thought I lived
on another planet
saw my dreams
turn from gold to granite
and baby sometimes
I can’t stand it I still act
just like I planned it
quess you thought
I given up on you
but I’m still in love
looks like you are too
yeah yeah yeah
we been standing
in a line to a line
we been waiting
for a real good time
in a world gone blind
cause no one wants to see
so don’t close your eyes
don’t close your eyes on me
yeah yeah yeah
sold my soul
but they bounced the check
now who’d a thought
Woke up on the tracks
Almost got the axe
Barely made it back
I almost had to laugh
When I hit the street
Walked up to your door
I tried to turn the key
Didn't work no more
Believe me
This ain't just another pop song
So I went on down
To see what I could see
Saw a whole lotta people staring
Staring back at me
You know they looked the same
Like they was all alone
And that's the way you feel
When you ain't got no home
Believe me
This ain't just another pop song
This ain't no plastic hippy's
Stolen culture
Sold to millions
This ain't no suicide lover on the phone
And this ain't just another pop song
Corporate heads may roll
Bigger fish could fry
And if that money don't keep coming
You'll know the reason why
Because the bottom line
Waves it's bloody fist
And if the numbers don't add up
You just don't exist
Believe me
This ain't just another pop song
How come these headlines read
Much more obscene
Than dirty dreams
How they water down
Everything that's real
(How am I supposed to feel)
Pop Song (cont.)
Sniper on the roof
I'm watching on "Ophry"
But he looks a little to familiar
He's aiming straight at me
I know I might get famous
Someone might cut a check
But I hope he don't see too good
Cause I ain't done singing yet
Believe me
This ain't just another pop song
Woke up on the tracks
Almost got the axe
Barely made it back
We need peace

crying for your pretty face
oh love
I been standing
in the shadows
dreaming you came back to me
oh love
mysterious creature
oh love
lost in the wind
my whole life’s been
asking you a question
oh love
I didn’t see you
taking off your mask
I couldn't see
you staring
back at me
one day I woke up falling down
I woke up under my bed
I woke up feeling like a lonely clown
morning paper at my door
said love was dead
oh love
oh love
morning paper at my door
said that love was dead
oh love
original prankster
oh love
nobody’s laughing now
the whole world’s
crying for your tender touch
oh love
open my window
and my broken heart
show me that I can
`begin again
one day I woke up falling down
I woke up under the bed
I woke up feeling like a lonely clown
morning paper at my door
said love was dead
oh love
oh love
someone on the radio
said love was dead
oh love
mixed up and messed up
oh love
cowardly lion
the whole world’s
looking for those angel eyes
oh love
I been standing
in the shadows
It was raining, like the tide
Kind of water, you got to ride
We was runnin' for high ground
Suddenly I heard a sound
Door swung open and I climbed
Into Noah's car
It was crowded, it was jammed
There were hit men with their lambs
There were stray dogs with their nuns
Holding on to silver guns
They robbed the fat cats
To pay for gas
In Noah's car
And we'll ride
Together we will ride
We'll ride through the storm
Together
Smiling junkies, sang the blues
To the broken hearted fools
Saw some monkeys, a lion too
Guess they broke out of the zoo
Like me and you, they work the door
In Noah's car
Sexy waitress, past her prime
Love's a dreamer, who loves the wine
Saw a young man run out of time
Saw a sad girl out of her mind
She kept on laughin'
Til we laughed with her
They turned the radio up
In Noah's car
And we'll ride, together we will ride
We'll ride through the storm together
And we'll ride, together we will ride
We'll ride through the storm
Forever
Weren't no sinners, weren't no saints
Weren't no angels with their snakes
Weren't no judges, weren't no jails
Only people passin' pails
Water was risin'
We sprung a leak
In Noah's car
Fixed that hole
The best we could
With lingerie and soggy wood
Faded pictures from our past
But only love could make it last
We held each other
And sang all night
In Noah's car
And we'll ride, together we will ride
We'll ride through the storm
Together
And we'll ride, together we will ride
We'll ride through the storm
Forever
It was rainin' like the tide
She gives me gree-gree
on a honey bun
she touch me
with that Shakespeare tongue
doin' things we ain't never done
since love broke down the door
I was runnin'
with my crazy crew
killin' time
on blunts and brews
never thought I'd meet
no one like you
since love broke down the door
yeah love broke down the door
I feel my heart beat
poundin' like a back beat
tellin' every part of me
you know I'm gonna
have you in my dreams
so sweet sweet dreams
I've been a lover
been a loner too
I been lucky
and I been a fool
but I never felt nothin' so true
since love broke down the door
I tell ya that love broke down the...
I feel my heart beat
poundin' like a back beat
tellin' me
there ought to be a law
against feelin' this good
and then we break it
it would be broken
she loves my ya-ya
in the afternoon
sugar cane
underneath the moon
everything we need
is in this room
since love broke down the door
I tell ya that
Well she went outside
just to feel the wind
that’s when she felt him
coming back again
in a smile in the rain
in the crys of a baby singing along
when she called his name
he was already gone
she’s lookin’ for
she’s lookin’ for
she’s lookin’ for her JohnnyO
well she went outside
just to breath the air
thats when she felt him
and she knew he cared
he was lost he was found
rasta child in the darkness
singing his song
when she reached out to him
he was already gone
she’s lookin’ for
she’s lookin for
she’s lookin for her JohnnyO
don’t cry
baby don’t you cry
Johnny’s flying round the room
well it’s been a week
seems like a year
could be forever
till he’s standing here
but his eyes are alive and they’re burning
full of spirit and love
if she keeps on dreaming
she can feel his touch
she’s lookin’ for
she’s lookin’ for
she’s lookin’ for her JohnnyO
she’s lookin’ for her JohnnyO
don’t cry
baby don’t you cry
Johnny’s flying round the room
some said he was an angel
sometimes he thought he was the devil
but when you come right down to it
he was alot like me and you
he saw hope in the least likely places
and he let’im know
if you keep believing
you can feel his soul
she’s lookin’ for
she’s lookin’ for
she’s lookin’ for her JohnnyO
she’s lookin’ for her JohnnyO
she’s lookin’ for her JohnnyO
he’s flying round the room
he’s flying round the room
he’s flying round the room...
Guess you thought that I
Was some other guy
You know the one
Always left you cold
When you turned to me
All that you could see
Was just another dreamer
Growing old
And you know the way home
But you’re dancing all alone
And I guess you don’t know love
No you don’t know love
No you don’t know love
Well it seems to me
You really don’t know love now do ya
How can we walk on by
How can we say nothing
How can we hide our hearts
Imprisoning the pain
You still smile like spring
You make the angels sing
But inside I swear
You’re crying like the rain
And you know the way home
But you’re dancing all alone
And I guess you don’t know love
No you don’t know love
No you don’t know love
Well it seems to me
You really don’t know love now do ya
Do you want to know love
Don’t you want to know love
Cause it seems to me
You really don’t know love now do ya
And there’s poetry buried in our room
With a broken glass filled with Spanish moons
And a book of dreams
That I made for you
Almost had a chance
It almost went that way
I was the only one
Who saw you in the dark
But in the light of day
You always ran away
Won’t you tell me
Were you running from your heart now baby
And you know the way home
But you’re dancing all alone
And I guess you don’t know love
No you don’t know love
No you don’t know love
Well it seems to me
Who saw blue skies
in those dark eyes
must be the King of the Fools
must be the King of the Fools
yeah yeah the King of the Fools
who saw the sunrise
in those sweet lies
it ain't the man in the moon
it ain't the man in your room
must be the King of the Fools
let's give him his due
he's full of tears already dry
and a heart that never cries
much
bad breaks, bad checks
here comes a train wreck
who's still singing a tune
who's still singing for you
must be the King of the Fools
let's give him his crown
he doesn't seem to mind
these lonely nights
with a smile that never dies
much
who saw blue skies
in those dark eyes
must be the King of the Fools...
must be the King of the Fools
What about me
the invisible man
still in your arms
still in your plans
time will not heal me
what about me
history’s clown
still working for them
still living downtown
time will not cool my fire
standing in the shadows
trying to make my move
now I got to go baby
find a love that cuts much deeper
find a life thats mine all mine
filling up the holes...
what about you younger than sin
don’t care about nothing
you just want to win
time will not teach the children
what about you
so alive and so dead
cut off from your feelings
your heart and your head
time will not cool your fire
standing in the spotlight
naked and alone
now you got to go baby
find a love that tastes
much sweeter
find a life that shines all night
filling up the holes
holes
lonely heartbeat
hiding in your heart
holes
lonely dancer
dancing in the dark
holes
so many empty eyes
waiting to be filled
filling up the holes...
what about me
been here before
outside the equation
outside the door
time will not wait for no one
what about me
I’ll never give up
and if you can’t see me
better fill up your cup
time will not hide my spirit standing on the mountain
trying to touch the sky
now I got to go baby
find a love
that touch much sweeter
find a life thats shines all night
filling up the holes...
holes
lonely heartbeat
hiding in your heart
holes
lonely dreamer
dancing in the dark
holes
so many empty eyes
waiting to be filled
She wore black lace
and scar tissue
left me looking like a fool
thought I’d done that
thought I’d been there
lord she took me back to school
now she’s dropping me off
heartache and main
girl got game
I’ve broke sweet hearts
like fine china
I made them paint their bedrooms blue
but what goes around
sure came around
the night that I met you
now I’m hanging around
heartache and main
girl got game
she’s sweet like juice
from the morning sun
dripping off of that sugarcaine
she’s soft like silk
from the garden of love
you know she’s driving me insane
girl got game
wanna love her like no ones done before
I give her all my love then I give some more
well I know that she’s the one for me how can I explain
but I knew that it was love when she was dancing in the rain
(baby shake that thang)
girl got game
girl got game
she knew secret
incantations
she whispered in my ear
thought I knew love
like my best friend
now its just a ghost I hear
and I’m spending the night
heartache and main
girl got game
she burns red hot like a needle of love
colors flowing from the tattoos stain
she carves her name on the walls of my heart
I know I’ll never be the same
girl got game
an I love her like no ones done before
I give her all my love then I give some more
I know she’s the one for me how can I explain
but I knew that it was love when she was dancing in the rain
(baby shake that thang)
girl got game
girl got game
girl got game
she wore black lace
How can this be
Why does the light
Shine on your face just right
Why are your eyes still laughing for me
Your closet's full
So why don't you let go everything
Darlin' these songs I sing
Speak to a love that's living inside
For a thousand days and nights
I stood outside your door
Watchin' the shades pull down
Til I couldn't watch no more
Runnin' under a willow tree
That followed me when the moon was hidin'
And only light I saw
Was the candle burnin' by your bed
So how can this be
Why does the wind
Carry the scent of your skin
Tell me how did this ever begin
For a thousand days and nights
For a thousand days
For a thousand days and nights
For a thousand days
For a thousand days and nights
I waited on the words
Silence hung around my head
Cryin' like a flock of birds
Waitin' for the sweetest dream
That always left me hungry
Lookin' back I guess it seems
You never really loved me
Love like wine
Sweeter in time
It's a love so fine
Gonna lose my mind
Cuz I'm still so blind in love
It makes no sense
Still somehow I believe
Even a heart in chains
Still holds onto the love that remains
For a thousand days and nights
For a thousand days
For a thousand days and nights
For a thousand days
For a thousand days and nights
For a thousand days
Love like wine
Sweeter in time
It's a love so fine
Gonna lose my mind
Cuz I'm still so blind in love
How can this be
Flippin' my fingers
Down a moonlight highway
Backdrop, back lit
Shiver to my toes
When I see you coming baby
I start running
Back to the road
Deep in the river
That flows so fast
I almost went by you
I almost went past
But your lips said boy
And I stayed for dinner
Then I was your lover
Then I was your dinner
But I ain't no beginner baby
Look at my hands
Cause I'm flippin' my finger
To a world of memories
Staying alive
By the skin of my ass
Ain't no one's possession
Or somebody's prisoner
Only the bastard
At the head of the class
The ones who sing harder
Even if it hurts you
The ones who keep singing
Better cover your ears
I'll sing so loud
I'll break all your china
And turn your indifference
To a window of tears
Crying for me baby
Cause you're crying for your freedom
Crying for the note
That I sang in your ear
A note I can't remember
And I'll search for it forever
And that's what the fuck
Seems these days
it don't seem strange
to find yourself
out in the rain
seems these days
no one cares
no one cries
even when love dies
but you know
I still feel the rain
and you know I
still feel the same
cause I remember
how sweet it could be
and you still mean
everything to me
everything
out of luck
out of laughs
out of the way
and off the road map
out of time
out of wine
out of order
out of your mind
when you think there's
nobody there
when you're hiding
under the stairs
when you say you'll never be free
you still mean everything to me
everything
I got the love
I got the time
I got the laughs
I got the wine
cause you'll always
be a friend of mine
yeah you'll always be my friend
you hate yourself
you hate the sauce
you hate the world
you're stuck on the cross
you hate your life
you hate your dad
you need a reason
for feeling so bad
when your demons
run off with God
when you're crying
tears of blood
when you think
that no one can see
you still mean everything
yeah you still mean everything
well, you still mean
everything to me Everything
I'll hypnotize those hungry sharks
I'll make love to you in the dark
I know the way to heal your heart
yeah I know the way
I seen you shine
you filled the room
I seen you take
a man to the moon
I seen you smile
you kissed the night
I seen you make
the dead come alive
and I remember every song
and I remember
when it went wrong
cause I remember
how sweet it could be
and you still mean everything to me
yeah you still mean everything
well you still mean everything
yeah you still mean
everything to me
I lost my job
My girl my dog
My TV's on the blink
They're turning off my phone
There's dishes in my sink
The mail arrives
The letter says
They don't like my tape
But even when the walls close in
Baby I escape
I fall in love
Every five minutes
Every five minutes
Someone starts to move me
I fall in love
Every five minutes
I just can't quite it
Must be something in the water
Threw me down the stairs
Right into the street
The ground split open
I fell thirty feet
Hanging off a ledge
Yeah things have gone too far
But even if I fall
I thank my lucky stars
CHORUS
Every face shines like the sun
Every face
Every heart looks for the one
Every heart
Had a true love
Held it in my hands
Slipped thru my fingers
And I'll never understand
I'll keep on searching for
A love I felt before
But baby I don't mind
Cause when I walk out the door
CHORUS
Every face shines like the sun
Every face
Every heart beats for the one
Every heart
Downsized
Locked out
Locked up
And Refused
Nothing from nothing
Leaves nothing but the blues
They say you got to win
But they don't let you choose
But baby that's alright
Cause even if I lose
I fall in love
Every five minutes
Every five minutes
Someone starts to move me
I fall in love
Every five minutes
I just can't quite it
Edgy’s heart she hides away
Edgy’s heart won’t see the day
Edgy’s heart I hope she’s listening to me
when I sing it
can she see
that I mean it
and the moon in the sky
like the love in my eye
try’s to find Edgy’s heart
Edgy’s heart
Edgy’s heart
Edgy’s heart she plays for dead
but Edgy’s heart is cherry red
Edgy’s heart is beating a sound
that I hear I can feel it
does she fear love
she needs it
cause she learning to smile
while she’s turning the key
can I free Edgy’s heart
and I think I caught a river
and it rushing tonight
and I think I caught a reason
and it’s feeling alright
and I wonder if there’ll
ever be a meaning
to the love in our loves
and will I find Edgy’s heart
Edgy’s heart
Edgy’s heart
Edgy’s heart she hides away
Edgy’s heart won’t see the day
Edgy’s heart I hope she’s listening
I saw the dark cloud brewing
I saw the rivers fry
I saw the water rising
I saw the angry sky
I saw the seeds of sorrow
written in golden blood
I saw the gods of money
choking on dirty air
I saw tomorrows children
thinking that no one cared
but we’re coming home now
don’t stand in our way
my friend is a musician
he went down to Brazil
he said that it was beautiful
but at night you could get killed
by packs of children
living out on their own
what kind of world is this
what kind of crazy dream
to run from the eyes
of a ten year old child
hungry and mean
but we’re coming home now
don’t stand in our way...
we’re gonna walk that walk
we’re gonna talk that talk
we’re gonna rock the rock
but it won’t be easy
so we’ll come together
and we’ll come on strong
people destroyed by poverty
forest destroyed by flames
oceans destroyed
by chemicals
it’s running round my brain
you turn on the TV set
they tell you whats safe to eat
who are the ones that profit
what is the bottem line
Christ there’s a hole
in the ozone
an my baby’s crying
but we’re coming home now
don’t stand in our way...
I woke up in the morning
felt like my life was thru
I had nothing to live for
but I was just a fool
cause one day
I saw the beauty
written in every face
wake up there is a future
look up its everywhere
people come on and join us
everybody will be there
cause we’re coming home now
don’t stand in our way.....
Christine wakes up
lights a cigarette
tries not to remember
what she can’t forget
a back against her back
his breathing in the dark
one day she woke up
they had grown apart
she couldn’t sing his name
yeah suddenly the universe
just changed
Christine wakes up
coffee in her cup
plays back the message
where he’s giving up
and he’s moving on
he won’t be callin’ back
her pictures are still burning
a new day has begun
so why is she crying
yeah suddenly the universe
just changed
and what is this mystery
and who has the map
and where is the road
that leads me thru a lifetime
and why does her heart fly away
like a bird in a cage
with no bars and no locks
only love to hold her down
Christine wakes up
an empty bed is cold
reaches for the arms
that she used to hold
the pattern of our lives
a story come to life
the moon blinks its eye
and love paid the price
cause she never really knew
yeah suddenly the universe
suddenly the universe
suddenly the universe
just changed
I was runnin' for the break of day
Come what may, come what may baby
I couldn't stay here anyway
Not today, not today baby
Just in time
Walked all night
Talkin to every dream inside
Tears I cried
Everytime love lied to me
So I tried to catch your eye
So I tried, one more try baby
Cuz I never really said goodbye
I know why, I'd make you cry baby
In my arms, all night long
I sang you every song of love ever sung
And touched you like the only one
Midnight, my heart seeks the light
Shadows collide they take me for a ride
And I'm flyin'
For the break of day
We were lookin' for the opening
Anything, anything baby
But nothin's ever what it seems
So it's only dreams, only dreams baby
Take my soul
Take apart every piece
Don't you know I give you everything & more
But it's too easy baby
That's why I'm walkin' out the door
Midnight, my heart seeks the light
Shadows collide they take me for a ride
And I'm flyin'
For the break of day
And there'll be someone else for me
Suddenly, tenderly baby
But maybe on a summer's breeze
A memory, comes back to me
Take my soul
Take apart every piece
Don't you know I give you everything & more
But it's too easy baby
That's why I'm walkin' out the door
Midnight, my heart seeks the light
Shadows collide they take me for a ride
And I'm flyin'
4am and I can’t sleep
cause it’s getting hard to dream
and baby if I can’t dream
I don’t want to sleep
cause we’re sinking like a stone
when everyone’s alone
and I found me outside looking in
locked out of my home
high noon and I can’t sleep
it’s so hot I can’t even blink
but nothing’s coming easy
and I don’t want to miss a thing
cause we’re burning like a fuse
and we might just make the news
we’ll be busting
thru that silver screen
looking for some truth
if it was up to you
yeah what would you do
baby would you wanna help
everybody too
would you
and the sun is upside down
and my head is upside down
everything’s so damned mixed up
I just gotta make a stand
I’ll be rising like the wind
and my heart is full of blood
and the struggle that I’m living in
trying to make it tuff
but there’s nothing on TV
cause I threw it out the door
and I feel like making up a future
better than before
better than before
if it was up to you
yeah what would you do
baby would you wanna help
everybody blue
would you
and the moon is in the sky
and it’s good to be alive
but I swear there must be
something more
cause we’re sinking like a stone
when everyone’s alone
and we’re burning like a fuse
and we might just make the news
and I’m rising like the wind
and my heart is full of blood
and there’s nothing on TV
cause I threw it out the door
and I feel like making up a future
better than before
better than before
You try to tear
your eyes from love
it shines so bright
it keeps you up all night
it has a sound, a smell
a taste, a touch
no matter what you do
you know you just
can’t stop thinking of
sugar and vodka moons
silk stockings and a red balloon
big bang theory is coming soon
and you know that you been waiting
for this moment all your life...
you run your hands
across her back
her skin, her hair
hungry like a cat
you want to play around
and keep her up all night
you gonna kiss her real soft
and then you gonna bite
sugar and vodka moons
silk stockings and a red balloon
big bang theory is coming soon
and you know that you been waiting
for this moment all your life...
how did you run into luck
just when you were giving up
you been dreaming of this love
all your life...
you cross the line
you need her now
you hear her voice
your heart begins to pound
and then your loneliness
surrenders to her smile
you gonna take her in your arms
you want a walk her down the aisle
sugar and vodka moons
silk stockings and a red balloon
big bang theory is coming soon
and you know that you been...
waiting for this moment all your life...
for this moment all your life...
