I've been out walking for hours.
I've got something on my mind.
How did we get here? where are we going?
And why is life so hard?
I read the stories, see the photographs.
World's in a crazy space.
I've got to hold on to my dreams;
There's just no other place.
There's just no other place.
Chorus:
I believe
we can change anything.
I believe
we can rise above this.
I believe
there's a reason for everything.
I believe
in my dream.
I've seen the shadows of the living.
Seen them turn and walk away.
And I keep searching for the right words
To send these thoughts away.
There's a picture I like to look at,
A picture of a beautiful face.
And I see something in her eyes,
Sends me to a better place.
Sends me to a better place.
Chorus
I believe
we can change anything.
I believe

My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out
I'm feeling kinda shaky, my mind is full of doubt.
All I ever think about is fearing fear itself,
Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf.
Chorus:
you know I'm feeling kinda... strange.
you know I'm feeling kinda... strange.
Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight.
Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright.
My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor.
Sweep 'em up, throw 'em away, I don't want 'em any more.
Chorus
Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night.
Still there are the questions, no answers in sight.
Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight.
Staring out the window, everything is just too bright.
Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor.
Wish I could unscrew my head and kick it out the door.
Whoosh...

Oowww wo walla wulla wowww www
Wo wu wulla wullla wowww
Through ooo the treeezzz uh
You wake up in the morning and you're smokin' like a house on fire.
'Cause you've been out all night, and you're burnt down to the wire.
I really love you baby, but you put me through the fire.
Whoa.
Your lifestyle...is killin me. [x2]
And if I don't do somethin' 'bout it there'll be nothing left for me.
Whoa.
Youre talkin' too much while you're driving in way too fast.
And you never make sense 'cause you're too busy havin' a blast.
I know we got no future 'cause you just can't remember the past.
Whoa.
Your lifestyle...is killin me. [x2]
And if I don't do somethin' 'bout it there'll be nothing left for me.
Whoa.
Pack my bags got one foot out the door.
'Cause I can't take one more night on the killin' floor.
I must be losin' my mind 'cause I think I'm comin' back for more.
Whoa.
Your lifestyle...is killin me. [x2]
And if I don't do somethin' 'bout it there'll be nothing left for me.
Whoa.
[Gimme that phone!]
I got to talk to you, baby, set the record straight.
'Cause this relationship is goin' from love to hate.
You're always trying to make me do things that're really dumb,
And we're always disagreein' on how to have fun.
CHORUS:
And you know I don't want what you want,
I want what I want.
Well, you look like a yuppie, and that's too bad.
Yeah, it used to be funny, but now it's sad.
And your friends are all stupid and they talk too much,
And I'd feel a lot better staying out of touch.
CHORUS
You can say goodbye to me, honey.
You can say goodbye to my money.
Well, I'm sittin' here callin' from Tennessee,
And I've been jammin' with my buddies like I ought to be.
And it feels real good bein' on my own,
And I don't mind leaving you dry as bone.
CHORUS
Well, it's all over, it's just too late.
And I'm so glad we're living in different states.
You know I said it all before like I knew I should,
But you got nothing in your head but a block of wood.
CHORUS
@SONG Ride
I know some people like to take life easy,
That's not my style.
I'm not the type to let this life tease me,
I'm gonna make it wild.
I just wanna ride,
Get on my bike and ride.
Some people think you've got to like your life one way,
I disagree.
I'm not gonna pay attention to them anyway,
It's got nothing, nothing to do with me.
Life is so short, we've got
No time to waste at all.
CHORUS:
I just wanna ride,
Get on my bike and ride.
I just wanna ride,
Get on my bike and ride.
I see the road, as it opens up before me,
I feel the heat.
I'm gonna go where I want, when I want to.
I've got to be free.
CHORUS
Feels so right...

Knockin' at your door

You'll be asking for more
Tell me, tell me, tell me

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Baby what's a man to do
When his heart has been broken
Broke in two
So if you see me walkin'
Baby won't you look my way
If you see me walkin'
Baby won't you look my way
I'm the one that wants you baby

I'm not one to lie, but it might leave you feelin'

I've been a sinner most of my life.
Dear God, have mercy on my soul.
Don't like the sunshine, that's not my way.
I need a hurricane to wash my sins away.
I like the rain...
I like the rain washing over me.
I do my own thing, any old time.
Livin' large, always. (Always)
I'm down and dirty. It's such a crime.
You know some day I'm gonna pay. (Kid)
Now and then I think I'm really bad.
But then I think of all the good times I've had.
I like the rain...
I like the rain falling down on me.
So come and join me, if you dare.
I'll take you for a little ride. (Little ride)
Could be the last time, I don't really care.
It's just the turning of the tide. (Tide)
The day is coming, just look on high.
My own apocalypse is falling from the sky.
I like the rain...
I love the rain falling down on me.
I love the rain...

Foxy
Foxy lady
I feel like going out for a drive
Don't know if I'll make it back alive
My head's so heavy, my soul is black
Lookin' like something that the cat brought back
I'm goin' crazy
But that's alright
Outside, lookin' for something to do
Walkin' the streets, everybody looks like you
When you can't find love, you can feed your head
But you can't survive when your brain is dead
I'm goin' crazy
But that's alright
I'm goin' crazy
I think you better hold on tight
Give it to me
I'm goin' crazy
Yesterday you and I were two
Now your gone, I'm all black and blue
Don't know why, could be your no good
If I could turn back the hands of time you know I would
Think it's strange thinking these thoughts out loud
Better keep movin', blend in with the crowd
I can't believe I'm acting like a child
One thing I know your driving me wild
I'm goin' crazy
But that's alright
I'm goin' crazy
I think it's going to be a long, long night
Give it to me
I'm goin' crazy
I'm goin' crazy
I'm goin' crazy
I'm goin' crazy
On the highway to your house,
I see the signpost, I check it out.
Can't slow down now to where you are.
I feel like I'm flying here, in my car.
I just can't slow down,
driving to the sound.
Tear the walls down, tear them down.
Feel the power, it's all around.
I just can't slow down
driving to the sound.
never touch the ground,
I just can't slow down.
Something's burning deep inside.
My blood's on fire, my eyes are wild.
I'm in my own world, I'm inside out.
Looking for something, tell me what it's all about.
I just can't slow down
driving to the sound
never touch the ground,
When the night falls, the big moon's gonna rise.
You can look right up, see it in the sky.
Makes me feel like I'm going to blow a fuse.
I start to shiver and shake with a strange kind of blues.
...but I like it.
I see it now the moon is high above.
It's got a hold on me, I just can't get enough.
Big, round, black and white, I feel the pull, I see the light.
Big bad moon's looking down on me tonight.
...but I like it.
When the moon comes, got nowhere to hide.
It can turn your head around like it turns the tide.
Man, woman, boy, child.makes you feel like you were born wild.
The big bad moon's looking down on me tonight.
...but I like it.
...i like it.
talkin' 'bout big bad moon
Ooh yeah big bad moon
talkin' 'bout big bad moon
I gotta find, I gotta find a special friend
A little bit of sexiness
That's all I need
Someone I can kick it with (oh)
Won't put no pressure on me
And when the rain comes fallin' down
Will you be there for me
I need a whole lot of loyalty
I need you down on my team
You see
I been through too much drama in my life
You see
Every chick so far's been wasted time
You see
I need someone so special in my life
I need that special friend
Gonna search around the... world
'Til I find that... girl
New York, Georgia, Cali 'cross the water
Gonna find my baby... girl
Precious like a... pearl
I need a very special friend
(Very very very very special friend)
[Gimme that phone!]
I got to talk to you, baby, set the record straight
'Cause this relationship is goin' from love to hate
You're always trying to make me do things that're really dumb
And we're always disagreein' on how to have fun
And you know I don't want what you want
I want what I want
Well, you look like a yuppie, and that's too bad
Yeah, it used to be funny, but now it's sad
And your friends are all stupid and they talk too much
And I'd feel a lot better staying out of touch

You know I said it all before like I knew I should
But you got nothing in your head but a block of wood
And you know I don't want what you want
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
Colors changing hue
Morning field of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless head on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in the ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
I speak the truth, I dare not tell a lie
One child is in fits, the other child dies
Now the yellow bird sits upon her finger
The yellow bird a specter lost to linger
God hates the Lords of Salem
No can ever save them
God hates the Lords of Salem
No one can destroy them
Do you think they suffered up on Gallows Hill?
Burn me and hang me and I always will
Tumble like a swine, a victim of the fury
Glory to the saint, before you start to bury
God hates the Lords of Salem
No can ever save them
God hates the Lords of Salem
No one can destroy them
God hates the Lords of Salem
No can ever save them
God hates the Lords of Salem

Brother Up In Heaven
(bairnson)
A boy flies for freedom
But dies for the peace
In the clouds, he waits for an answer
But there's no release
It's strange here without you
And it's so hard to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
I still see his shadow
His laugh lingers on
When i dream, we're all back together
When i wake, he's gone
It's strange here without you
This was not ment to be
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
And though we try to change the world
A flower when it's cut will surely die
So why do men with so much hate
Destroy what they cannot create
While we all stand by
We will look back in anger
But you helped us to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
