Assam /əˈsæm/ (Assamese: অসম) also, rarely, Assam Valley and formerly the Assam Province (British India), is a northeastern state of India and is one of the most culturally and geographically distinct regions of the country[citation needed]. Assam was one of the original provinces of the British ruled Indian sub-continent and among the original provinces of present day India, having a legislature that dates back to 1937. However, present day Assam has undergone numerous territory alignment changes, with its state map being altered more than any other province's. Known for exquisite natural resources, geography and its important role in India's freedom struggle; Assam has its capital as Dispur, an especialized city circuit region located on the outskirts of its largest metropolis, Guwahati.
Assam is particularly famous for its natural beauty. The landscape includes tea gardens, the river Brahmaputra, and many historical monuments and temples. Swami Vivekananda once said that, "next only to Kashmir, Assam is the most beautiful place in India" A state with an abundance of forest, Assam also has five national parks, around half a dozen other wildlife sanctuaries, and is home to two-thirds of the population of the unique one-horned rhino. When it comes to wildlife, Assam too has successfully conserved the one-horned Indian rhinoceros from near extinction, along with the tiger and numerous species of birds, and it provides one of the last wild habitats for the Asian elephant. It is becoming an increasingly popular destination for wildlife tourism, and Kaziranga and Manas are both World Heritage Sites.

I finally feel at ease, i'm on an eastern breeze
It blows me into shore
Come back to kiss my dear, come back to face my fears
It can't be worse than war
Unless you say that you gave your heart away (gave your heart away)
Unless you say that i shouldn't have returned (shouldn't have returned)
And in that case... i'll go
Every night i see a shooting star and wonder if it's landing where you are
If you can see it then you can't be far
And if that's the way you do it, that's the way you find your love
Now the air is cold and thin, i'm on my second wind
It blows me to your door
Lean into the bell and press
You're in a brand new dress i've never seen before
But then you say that you gave your heart away (i gave my heart away)
And then you say that i shouldn't have returned (you shouldn't have returned)
So i turn my face... and go
Every time i take a look around, i find myself looking out
To a place that looks a lot more round
I find myself feeling down
Every night i see a shooting star and wonder if it's landing where you are
If you can see it then you can't be far
So it ends
Round and round the propeller spins
Seat backs up no tray tables down
No turning back to this country town
I already knew blue eyed girl
Would be halfway around the world
I already knew blue eyed girl
Would be halfway around the world
Break it down for a brother
Tell me know where we're bound
Can't wait for another
Another way to get down
Air is thin
Round and round the propellers spin
Round and round like a carousel
Round and round feeling not as well
I already knew blue eyed girl
Would be halfway around the world
I already knew blue eyed girl
Would be halfway around the world
And I can feel it in these undertones
A fair, light one to have alone
And I can see it in the lights below
i am over you now
and i guess that's the way it's supposed to be
but there's something inside that calls me back to you
and i know that there's something wrong with me
(is it wrong with you too?)
but the keyboard is with me
but the keyboard will keep me company
but the keyboard is with me
but the keyboard will keep me holding on
she left for iceland
we lived a techno fantasy
we loved to listen
to our rock and roll part three
i am over you now
and i guess that you don't give a damn
but now the feeling's gone
Astronaut, send us up
Once i'm out i'll beam you shots
As long as you return me back to you
Cosmonaut, best you've got,
Way too far from the stars
Wesley willis starts to break down, feels the beat and hits the dance floor
I will listen to the radio, still i can't hear you on the telephone
It's a shakedown so count from one to three and shake your booty 'til the early dawn
You gotta be laid back, rock to obscurity
Then you will really find there's nothing wrong with me
Three months have passed and no reception has left me searching for another one
It's too bad that i was believing that you could ever be more than deceiving
And when i listen to the radio now i'm not thinking things about you
And all the things you say that drive me crazy
Could not compare to the things you never say
Now is the end i will call her a friend
I won't regret what i said (what i said)
When i become a man then i will surely see
That you were just a girl and you were wrong for me
If you would ever call i know that i'd be home
Chances last a finite time in the warm july nighttime
Every care that keeps you from your feet is a care that carries your defeat
You better let her rip tonight with a pocket full of kryptonite
Every care that keeps you in your seat is a care that carries your defeat
Sing that song you sang long ago
A heartbeat so sure and slow
Hold me and don't let go
The fourteenth domino
Twenty thousand points of light, sun by day disco ball by night
Every care that keeps you from the beat is a care that carries your defeat
Sing that song that i used to know
The fourteenth black domino
Hold me like long ago
A heartbeat sure and slow
Chances last a finite time in the warm july nighttime
Every care that keeps you from your feet is a care that carries your defeat
It's happening all over again
Someone broke the locks and let the dogs out of the pen
Sound the alarms and let the fun begin
You thought my bark was worse than my bite
But this time i won't be beat before the start of the fight
Leash is too tight
Gonna bite it off
All bad dogs go to doggy hell
All bad cats go to kitty hell
A thousand dogs are loose in the night
You say they're for protection but you use them to fight
Won't see the light until we turn it off
All bad dogs go to doggy hell
All bad cats go to kitty hell
Goodbye my friends, i wish you well
I'd give my heart if you'd give your attention
But when i look there's just an open trench (and baby)
I can't stand to see you, girl
Showing off your silver party dress
No, you can't come over now
The house ain't neat, my room's a mess
I'd give my heart to just be in contention
But i sold it off at the baseball card convention
I can't stand to see you, girl
Rubbing motor oil on all your joints
No, i ain't no straight A wiz
But i could learn, that's not the point (i'll plot my points)
I'd give my heart if i had one for giving
I'd give my heart your lips could keep me living
I'd give my heart and always be forgiving
you're hot, stop and drop and roll
i'll jump in the swimming hole so i can hear your cheers
i've seen all the episodes
i know all the secret codes so where i go i don't need roads
i'm flying over, over, i'll fly right over you
2P, you take my control
teach me how to rock and roll or i'll fall down and die
i bet you don't know how to find our extra lives time ninety-nine
i know you tried but still we died
our game is over, over, this game is overrated, baby
this game is overrated
now i'm frustrated
is there no peace of your heart for a brother?
reset, can't reset the years
so sad, princess isn't here
she's hiding out with all my fears
our game is over, over, this game is overrated, baby
this game is overrated
over, over, this game is over
So it ends
Round and round the propeller spins
Seat backs up no tray tables down
No turning back to this country town
I already knew blue eyed girl
Would be halfway around the world
Air is thin
Round and round the propellor spins
Round and round like a carousel
Round and round feeling not as well
I already knew blue eyed girl
Would be halfway around the world
I can feel it in these undertones
A fair, light one to have alone
I can see it in the lights below
Take my hand and follow me to bed
Say you didn't really mean it when you told me to go drop dead
Smile that smile that only you can smile
Say you'll love me in the morning after we've slept in a while
Take my hand and follow me instead
Say you'll love me in the morning after we've cleared out our heads
Nightmares, they've been plaguing me
I'm trapped in a fearful mind
Oh... but only til the morningtime
Wake up and love me, baby
So what if we fought last night
We'll start today off right
Let's put it all behind us
Do something to help remind us of how we fell in love
Smile that smile we're only here a while
Say you're never gonna ditch me when true love goes out of style
Nightmares, they've been chasing me
I'm lost in a labyrinth mind
Oh... but only 'til the morningtime
Wake up and love me, baby
So what if we fought last night
We'll start today off right
Let's put it all behind us
Do something to help remind us of how we fell in love
When i woke up this morning i knew what i had to find
Somewhere there exists a melody that'll make you change your mind
So i got down to business, did the best that i could do
Still nothing from these lonely foreign lips could be good enough for you
If you want to run, put the pedal to the metal
Show me how it's done, whistling like a kettle
I know you think you've won, but we've still got a score to settle
So i step on the pedal that means metal
If we had just one minute alone, i know what i would say
This world and i are nothing now, but you make me want to stay
If you'd drop by to see me again, i'd open up the door
Eastern time, central time, slow down
If you're racing time and chasing time, slow down
You're buying time and spending time, slow down
You're killing time, precious time, slow down
The borderline is in your mind, slow down
Once you've crossed it, then you've lost it
No sense looking back
Let the minutes take you with them
No sense keeping track
Where we'll go we just don't know
All we have is time to rocket slowly through the galaxy
Or two or three, 'til we break free
Finding time, losing time, slow down
Bending time, breaking time, slow down
Any time you've got the time slow down
'cause the borderline is in your mind
Once you go there then you'll be there every tuesday night
TV's jumping to the ceiling
Watch that kid take flight
Where we'll go we still don't know
But we'll take our time to rocket slowly through the galaxy or two or three
'til we break free from time was just a line
That we kept in mind but never thought we'd cross 'til we got lost
Every time i start to remember
I remember i don't want to remember
Warp me back at 88 if only for one day
Turn on mario and luigi
Sit me down put my hands on the ouija
And when it spells out roisin's name i'll swear it wasn't me
1988 take me back to 1987
I'm in search of days
When times were good and earth a place in heaven
Now that i jump as high as luigi
Let's sit down put our hands on the ouija
When it spells out your sweet name you'll know that it was me
1988 take me back to 1987
I'm in search of days
When times were good and earth a place in heaven
I want to make a motion to stop the commotion
I second the motion to stop the commotion
I got another notion for backwards motion
I'm telling you a story now of something that's wrong
This has been developing since nineteen eighty-one
Maybe she's alone
What can i do?
There's nothing
There's nothing i can do
If i'm a proper jewish boy
Will her family love me?
Can't stand to see her on the stage
And know she's not thinking of me
Maybe she'll be hearing this, but probably she won't (probably she won't)
Possibly she has desires, but probably she don't (probably she don't)
Maybe she's alone
What can i do?
There's nothing
Deep in the hills
There is a hideaway
That i built with zack, the lego maniac
I'm never ever gonna turn back
Maybe in legoland you're mine
Stop pause record fast-forward rewind
To the beginning frame
When i heard your name
We've tunneled through
To the outside world
The front guard is link, the zelda warrior
Say hello to your last chance
Same as your first chance
A kinder reminder from ozma
Say hello to the new sound
Same as the old sound
So spin it, get in it, and stay
I knew that the night had an end soon in sight until you called my name
Say hello when you've spied her
Sitting on the dryer
It's spinning, 9th inning, so play
Say hello like a spider
Weave a web right beside her
Spin it, get in it, and pray
I knew that the night had an end soon in sight until you called my name
I knew all along i was right but i'm wrong somehow you knew my name
After the last dance, you lose your last chance
After the last dance, you lose your last chance
You lose your last chance
You lose your last chance
Astronaut, send us up
Once i'm out i'll beam you shots
As long as you return me back to you
Cosmonaut, best you've got,
Way too far from the stars
Promise to return me back to you
[instrumental]
Down at the curve in the old 1-9
There's been a crash that's obstructing the line
And i'm gonna sing you a song that no sane man should be singing
But my ears won't stop ringing
Extraordinary love will save us from the skies above
Only on a day like this
Seal it with a hopeful kiss
Destined to take you down a righteous course
But they won't let you know that they're taking it by force
And down in the depths of my heart there is regret and remorse
But let's not beat a dead horse
'cause the past cannot be changed
History never rearranged
Only with a hopeful kiss
Will we see our way through this
When you wake up, take a look around
Only with a hopeful kiss
Will we see our way through this
When you wake up, take a look around
Watch the pillars crumble slowly to the ground
I'm bored, you're boarding the 504 out of town
It's late, so look straight, don't pull your eyes off the ground
You sit and wait across the gate, the minutes stretch themselves so long
You'll never be my destiny, because my destination's wrong
Right coast, left coast
Drifting round and round
I'm lost, always, and i know i can't be found
Who made these customs i can't seem to get past?
It's no use, since you've been born into a higher class
When i want you, and only you, somehow your baggage comes along
And it never stops, no, it never stops, until i'm back where i belong
Right coast, wrong coast
Drifting round and round
I'm lost, always, and i know i can't be found
You can't see me across this great divide
I'm lost, always, if i'm not right by your side
Back where i belong
The world we live in is so interesting
A girl make a one man cry make another man sing
Come home andrea, come home andrea
Come home andrea (to me)
There's no denying that our wait is long
It helps if i bide my time with a sad, sad song
Come home andrea, come home andrea
Come home andrea (to me)
'cause nothing ever comes between my darling and her man
There ain't a single thing that can
Tonight i'll be a whore for you and you can dance for me
No money exchanged if we ask the same fee
Come home andrea (to me)
In the morning when you wake
I'm still stuck in a dream
In a different place and time where the sentence always fits the crime
Sweet justice screams
Once this country seemed so far and wide
But you can return to me in a single stride
Come home andrea, come home andrea
Of all the shootingstars i knew
I never felt at ease with anyone but you
Don't ever wonder where i go
Remember that the grass still grows beneath the snow
When everything around turns blue
Just fall asleep and wake when it's all through
There's battlescars on all my guitars but i still come out here and play
And now i've lost your touch again
I know i'm only one in 20,000 men
I promise not to let you go
Just close your eyes and sleep right through the falling snow
When i finally wash ashore
I'm coming back to kiss the girl i kissed before
Of all the shootingstars i knew
I never fell for anyone but you
There's battlescars on all my guitars but i still come out here and play
There's battlescars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me everyday
There's battlescars on all my guitars but i still come out everyday
Deep inside my eye, there is part of you
You still look the same, though you're upside down
So much time has passed since i saw you last
An apple pie, the number pi, i studied you in math class
I did all my work but never got your digits
Take a number like 5, times 10, times 10 again
500 miles of apple orchards to defend
Deep inside my core, there is part of you
You still look the same, though you're grown up now
Why are you still in my eye? will your memory ever die?
An apple tree, a family tree, we'll plant ours together
The roots will hold forever and forever
What can i say? i won't delay, i'm leaving today
500 miles of apple orchards in my way
A mackintosh, a macintosh, you messaged me all winter
I wrote replies but still felt like a loser
Pack an apple to eat, go hit the street, get on your feet
500 miles of apple orchards 'til we meet
I'm taking a stand , with apple in hand i pull up my sleeve
I finally feel at ease
I'm on an Eastern breeze
It blows me to the shore
Come back to kiss my dear
Come back to face my fears
It can't be worse than war
Unless you say that you gave your heart away (gave your heart away)
Unless you say that i shouldn't have returned (shouldn't have returned)
And in that case... i'll go
Every night i see a shooting star
And wonder if it's landing where you are
If you can see it then you can't be far
And if that's the way you do it
That's the way you find your love
The air is cold and thin
I'm on my second wind
It blows me to your door
Lean into the bell and press
You're in a brand new dress
I've never seen before
But then you say that you gave your heart away (i gave my heart away)
And then you say that i shouldn't have returned (shouldn't have returned)
So i turn my face... and go
Every time i take a look around
I find myself looking down
To a place that's looking much more round
I find myself looking down
Every night i see a shooting star
And wonder if it's landing where you are
If you can see it then you can't be far
And if that's the way you do it
lately my world's been coming down
and lately i've needed you around
lately my love's been on the ground
and lately i've needed you around
i've always needed you
i've pledged my love so true
stuck on another lovely
stuck on the other lovely
stuck on another lovely girl
lately my love's been so benign
and lately i've wanted you for mine
lately you've been oh so unkind
and lately things haven't fell in line
i've always needed you
i've pledged my love so true
oh my girl
i love you so
stuck on another lovely
stuck on the other lovely
stuck on another lovely girl
where is my only one
when i'm the lonely one?
stuck on another lovely girl
Theres just one thing I couldnt find,
One girl that couldnt be mine,
she's in love with Calvin Klein
I knew she could have any one of these boys
here i am playing with my baby toys
I'm walking out but i'm just making noise
16 years and what do we get?
Another Ex and deeper in debt
I've done all of my time
and placed all of my bets
people say that our are layers of die
but livin anint that hard if you know your alive
let's party like its 1955
Lorraine, Lorraine,
my destiny
this song is over without you
so I'm singin' this refrain to you
Theres just one thing I couldnt find,
One girl that couldnt be mine,
she's in love with Calvin Klein
I knew she could have any one of these boys
here i am playing with my baby toys
I'm walking out but i'm just making noise
Lorraine, Lorraine,
my destiny
this song is over without you
so I'm singin' this refrain to you
Lorraine, Lorraine,
my destiny
this song is over without you
so I'm singin' this refrain to you
till the till the night i realized
I still see the world through candy coated eyes
Lorraine, Lorraine,
my destiny
this song is over without you
so I'm singin' this refrain to you
Lorraine, Lorraine,
my destiny
this song is over without you
so I'm singin' this refrain to you
till the night I realized
I still see the world
it's hopeless
oh don't you see it's hopeless
but when you're coming back to me
it's not hopeless
it's hopeless
little cowgirl don't you see
that the farm
is hopeless without me
hopeless, hopeless, i'm so hopeless
hopeless, hopeless you're so hopeless
it's crazy
oh don't you see it's crazy
i feel the need
i feel the need to get crazy
and everytime you go away
my heart beats slower
and should i still pretend
Every day I'm in a store
Buying coffee but wanting more
Does she know what I'm thinking?
Or why I'm doing all this coffee drinking.
'Cause when she rings me up my heart starts speeding up.
One day soon wait and see I will ask her out with me.
Her name is Meg but her name tag says "Megan".
She takes her coffee black 'cause she's a vegan.
And when she rings me up my heart starts speeding up.
One day soon wait and see I will ask her out with me.
(Chorus)
AGot it bad for the coffee shop girl, the only girl in the world for me.
Got a thing for the coffee shop girl, the only girl in the world I want to see.
Juan Valdez would be very proud
of how well she works the coffee crowd.
Her eyes are dark just like mocha java,
She turns my insides into molten lava.
And when she rings me up my heart starts speeding up.
One day soon wait and see I will ask her out with me.
(Chorus)
If she knew that I thought she's a hottie,
would she still give me, that free biscotti?
Am I just another customer?
Or does she know I really feel for her?
(Chorus)
First time i saw you,
I didnt think you were special
but now i realized,
that your the one i want to grow old with
I want to take you out,
I want to do everything right
I'll take you to your favorite shop,
I'll even let you use my favorite coffee cup
Oh you, when you look at me
you make me feel so glad
Oh you, when you smile at me
you make me feel so nervous
Cause your the one that i adore
I'll let you use my coat when you're cold
I'll do anything for you
but now you're probably in bed,
Music & lyrics by Brummel
Hold on before you break me
Give me one more chance
Maybe I don't deserve it
But give me one more chance
To prove my to love you
You can exist in a world without being a part of the world
And somehow that's comforting when you're not where you want to be
But time it is a living thing
I wonder what today will bring
I wonder what the stars will have in store for us
If you hold on before you wake me
Let me dream a dream
As unlikely as it seems
You can exist in a world without being a part of the world
And somehow that's comforting when you're not where you want to be
But faith, it is a knowing thing
Relinquish all control of things
Each Friday night
I've gotta moan
Cause it's not right
To be alone
And I'm alone
And so I sleep
Wake up at dawn
And leave before
The moon is gone
I know it's wrong
Wr-o-o-ong
I've got to find some way out of here
Jump on a plane and I disappear
Maybe east of Ohio
Maybe that's where I ought to go
Cause living here I've got so down
I guess that's why I've got to leave town
To find some place I haven't found
Cause I know that you'll be there waiting
Back, back, honey
Take me back, baby
I want to stay in L.A.
Back, back, honey
Take me back, sugar
I want to stay
When I get home
The house is dark
The only sound
Is Joey's bark
Been searching for another place a while
Seen every town up in Northern Cal.
Searching further every country mile
I saw New York and I like it's style
But still I've gotta say I love L.A.
I guess that's why I feel I've gotta stay
The hot streets and the summer nights
So lonely
Back, back, honey
Take me back, baby
I want to stay in L.A.
Back, back, honey
Take me back, sugar
I want to stay
I know it's sad but I love L.A.
It's even sadder that I'm here to stay
I might vacation on an isle away
But this is where I'll spend my dying day
So now it's time for me get me a wife
And live in town with her for all of my life
I'll understand when my hair turns grey
Why I
I live
I've been thrown the gaijin glare for so long
By now i take the scorn in stride
Got no time for pride that only serves to divide
Got no time for miscommunication
I've been trying to set this straight for so long
Trying to hammer out what's bent
You trust in my intent
You must be heaven sent
And i've been trying to let you know that i love you so
I've been trying to find a girl for so long
That tears have often filled my eyes
Under azure skies as we said our last goodbyes
I was trying to let you know that i love you so
I love you so
You'll never know
Whoa my eponine, can't you hear the words i sing?
Can't you hear the words i sing?
A crush can never be resolved
Seems like every resolution ends in tragedy
Singin' whoa, my eponine
We swore we'd die to end this bolshevik
And now it's time
Time to put an end to all your woe
(whoa) my eponine, can't you hear the words i sing?
Can't you hear the words i sing?
You can't just let this world revolve
Seems like every revolution ends in casualty
Singin' whoa oh oh oh my eponine
Before you go, just these last words for you
I love you so
And love can bring an end to all your woe
(whoa) my eponine, can't you hear the words i sing?
Whoa my eponine, you can't just let this world revolve
Whoa my eponine, can't you hear the words?
Can't you hear these words?
When i feel the morning grass i let down my guard
Because love comes from the dirt in my own backyard
Everytime i think i've finished being young
I catch myself having fun
But the moment passes as the sun moves on
So i turn myself back to you
On a diamond in the rough i spent my better years
I still see her in the crowd with diamonds in her ears
And it's depressing that i can't forget the tune the organist played
La da da da da da da, la da da da da da da...
Everytime i think i've finished being young
I catch myself having fun
But the moment passes as the son moves on
So i turn myself back to you
Is our season over?
No four leaf clover
I feel it's getting colder now that it's late fall
Can you still remember april to november?
You and i were members of the best team in baseball
So we play our games
I've got a girlfriend
You've found a new guy but it's not the same
And so i drive straight up i-5
I've been looking for a way to find a way to find you
Turning over every unturned stone
I thought every one was flipped but i guess eagle rock got skipped
Cause that's where you've been all alone alone
Whoa
I've been trying to find a way to finally up and find you
Climbing every boulder in my way
To throw me off your trail you moved to boulder, colorado
A hop, a skip, and one long jump away
Whoa
I finally found a way to find a way to finally find you
Down where colorado street hits hill
Find a rock and fling it far above the rocky mountains
And pray to god it hits your window sill
I will never skip a rock (i will never skip a rock)
to walk away from everything
they still love me
i wish my clock would get stuck in the
stuck in the ground
loving the ground
i came here
to wallow in my sympathy
they still love me
i wish my clock would get stuck in the
stuck in the ground
mother's quotations
filling the cupboards
setting the table
right on time
beautiful paintings
hanging on the wall just right
beautiful thoughts and days
killing me tonight
she carries on with the words of her reckoning
she carries on with the stars and the sun
she carries on with the words of her beckoning
There's this one band that I like to hear
They are the most pleasing to my ear
Keyboards give their sound quite a kick
And their demo songs never make me sick
I first heard your song on the tribute CD
Then we played with you at the Roxy
And I have no problem driving far
For Ryen, Daniel, Jose, Pat, and Star
*Oh Keep us posted on your next show
Oh We're more than delighted to go
O-Z-M-A
Oh We really love your song Lorraine
Ryen is more than a pretty face
On stage he remains in one place
Noticing your orthopedic shoes
While kicking around R2D2
Daniel jumping in his jumpsuit
I'm sure Julia notices you
He's a Back to the Future fan
And he prefers that you call him Dan
*Chorus
Star your first show was at the El Rey
And maybe you'll be singing someday
You're the only girl in the band
And for that we'd like to shake your hand
Pat he's in charge of the merchandise
We talked to you and you're really nice
You skipped some classes to play a show
You're the first one that we got to know
Jose you like the New Kids On the Block
And on stage you really like to rock
You were busy selling shirts
And you're good friends with Nada Surf
walked around the block about a thousand times
busting out the raps and all my funky g rhymes
english speaking --[censored by request]--- just get in my way
hey mr. rogers what do you say?
oh nothing can stop me now
i'm feeling so down
looking out the window don't know what i see
everything looks different now but maybe it's me
i see a bunch of faces that just tear me apart
it's kind of like the feeling when i shop at |< - mart
oh nothing can stop me now
Your name was given to you
Out of two hearts something new
It seemed too small when you finally grew
But it was yours; what could you do?
You felt that life was a chore
Keeping your boat close to shore
So you set sail seeking fortune and fame and changed your name
But still it remains
Tied like an anchor onto your heart
A turtleneck will cover that up
So sweat it out and keep your mouth shut
FBI (cover it up), CIA (cover it up)
JPL (cover it up), CNN (cover it up)
Turtleneck (cover it up)
Hope that they're not wondering why i'm never laundering
My turtleneck cover me don't let anybody see
Everything i've come to be since she had her way with me
Turtleneck cover me don't let any body see
From the shadows in the streets hidden eyes are watching me
Even the wolf wears a disguise
So pull the wool down over your eyes
KGB (cover it up), LBC (rap the f#&k; up)
MTV (cover it up), FCC (cover it up)
Turtleneck (cover it up)
Hope that mom's not wondering why i'm never laundering
My turtleneck cover me don't let anybody see
Everything i've come to be since she had her way with me
Turtleneck cover me don't let any body see
From the shadows in the streets hidden eyes are watching me
Video cameras in the trees
Documenting all they please
Sometimes i wish i could rewind
Video cameras in the trees
Catch her when she comes and leaves
Sometimes i wish i could rewind
I've been cheating on you ever since we broke up
I've been dreaming about you ever since i woke up
And now my hearing's disappearing ever since you spoke up
I'll devise a plot to break your heart
Think up a plan that i'll never carry out
What's wrong with you?
Tell me now, what should i do?
Don't let me down
I couldn't take much more of your love
Don't call me up
I'm so sick and tired of being down
So i asked you to the show but i knew you wouldn't show up
You came to my birthday party just to tell me i should grow up
And then i see another girl and i think i'm gonna throw up
So i'll devise a plan to nuke your man
Dirty tricks to come back and take command
I'll win your hand
We'll hijack a plane and we're never going to land
Don't let me down
I couldn't take much more of your love
Don't call me up
I see you everyday
but I tear my eyes away
cause if you can't be mine
I don't want to waste my time
I don't want to waste my time
I see you everyday
but I tear my eyes away
cause if you can't be mine
I don't want to waste my time
I don't want to waste my time
I see you now and then
but I look away again
cause if you're not the one im for
I dont want to suffer anymore
I dont want to suffer anymore
I see you now and then
but I look away again
cause if you're not the one im for
I dont want to suffer anymore
I dont want to suffer anymore
I dont want to suffer anymore
I dont want to suffer anymore
I know the end is near
but it has been since the start
but that still doesn't mean
that I could keep you from my heart
that I could keep you from my heart
I know the end is near
but it has been since the start
but that still doesn't mean
that I could keep you from my heart
that I could keep you from my heart
I couldn't keep you from my heart
I couldn't keep you from my heart
I see you everyday
but I tear my eyes away
cause if you can't be mine
I don't want to waste my time
I don't want to waste my time
I see you everyday
but I tear my eyes away
cause if you can't be mine
I don't want to waste my time
I don't want to waste my time
The sound flowing through these cables is the blood in my veins
See me at my desk, rested and well dressed
Always there on time
Funny how the clock that i used to watch
Now never seems to mind
Tried hard to collect interest and respect
By cutting out some things i thought didn't matter
Turned all of my whines into "doing fines"
It saves me so much time
I'm stuck in a square, becoming one too
Three stories above i hear there's a view
Long way to the ground
But i'll probably stick around
Now i've got a view
Miles to the ocean
But i can't see you and maintain devotion
I wish i could say, "i'll be there"
And slowly the stories start to unbind
And tell me the years spent never were mine
I'm always to owe a debt to my heart
Unless i can find a way to restart and take control
Slowly the edge gets closer to you
You've got the most space with the greatest of views
You've paid off the debt you owe to your heart
(no one needs to know)
One needs to know if a lover's being faithful
One needs to know if a lover's being true
One needs to know if a lover's being faithful
And i'm being faithful to you
I don't know what you're thinking we should do
I don't know if the words you say are true
But let me tell you this for sure...
The things we're doing just aren't pure and no one needs to know but me and you
You don't know all the things she put me through
You don't know if the words i say are true
But let me tell you this tonight...
The things we're doing just aren't right and no one needs to know but me and you
Light years will burn 'fore i return
I left it all behind with no concern
For things back then can't be again
Forever trapped in time that never bends
She waits for signals i might send
But they don't come so she pretends
I ran away but i'll be back yesterday
No turning back
Once you're lost you never will be found
No gravity
Never get my feet back on the ground
Love and escape do not compute
I see the photograph before you shoot
I'm standing still but still i'm spinning
This journey ends at the beginning
It seals my fate in the great figure eight
No turning back
Once you're lost you never will be found
No gravity
Never get my feet back on the ground
No turning back
Once you're lost you never can be found
No gravity
You're hot, stop and drop and roll
I'll jump in the swimming hole so i can hear your cheers
I've seen all the episodes
I know all the secret codes so where i go i don't need roads
I'm flying over, over, i'll fly right over you
2P, you take my control
Teach me how to rock and roll or i'll fall down and die
I bet you don't know how to find our extra lives time ninety-nine
I know you tried but still we died
Our game is over, over, this game is overrated, baby
This game is overrated
Now i'm frustrated
Is there no peace of your heart for a brother?
Reset, can't reset the years
So sad, princess isn't here
She's hiding out with all my fears
Our game is over, over, this game is overrated, baby
This game is overrated
Check her out, she's got looks i've only seen in storybooks
I had one once, read it through, now it's long overdue
I asked her out, she gave me looks i've only seen on mean old crooks
I had my chance and now i'm through it's been so long, i'm overdue
What's so wrong with me and you?
It's been so long, i'm overdue
I'm overdue
Return me back to you
You know the story, you know the story
Astronaut, cosmonaut, send us up, best you've got
Once i'm out way too far, i'll beam you shots from the stars
As long as you promise to return me back to you
Strong woman (x8)
