Unfolding enveloping missiles of soul
Recall senses sadly
Mirage like soft blue like lanterns below
To light the way gladly
Whether whistling heaven's clouds disappear
Where the wind withers memory
Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
Unbending never ending tablets of time
Record all the yearning
Unfearing all appearing message divine
Eases the burning
Whether willing witness waits at my mind
Whether hope dampens memory
Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
Encasing all embracing wreath of repose
Engulfs all the senses
Imposing, unclosing thoughts that compose
Retire the fences
Whether wholly heartened life fades away
Whether harps heal the memory
Whether wholly heartened life fades away
Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel flows (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feelings to grow (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
White hot glistening shadowy flows
White hot glistening shadowy flows
Hello
My luck was so bad
I thought I used up all the luck I had
Everytime I thought I'd get it on
Someone put me on
There's been a change
Beautiful and strange
My life's gone through a change
Somehow I know (somehow I know)
Bad luck's in the past
All good things here at last
So now we'll grow
There's been a change
Mmmmm
Bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
I got news for you
There ain't no blues
I got news for you
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
I got news for you
There ain't no blues
I got news for you
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
I got news for you
There ain't no blues
I got news for you
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
Listen to the boys loud and clear
Come on folks withstand you fears
Sail away the choice is yours you choose
Celebrate the news
There ain't no blues
All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish everyday
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises
Can you call it? See it coming?
Just enough to tell a story 'bout a
Portrait of a young girl waiting
For a new year
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away?
Visions of a feeling
The footsteps at bay
You were getting stronger
Memories again
Now you're open wider
It's better this way
All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish everyday
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises
Won't you write a letter
On the page in your own way
Write it in a letter
On the page, it's your own way
You were getting wiser
It's better this way
Faces in the mirror
Memories again
Now look to a feeling
It's lighter than breath
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away?
Can you call it? See it coming?
Just enough to tell a story 'bout a
Portrait of a young girl waiting
For the ending of an era
Can you call it? See it coming?
Just enough to tell a story 'bout a
Portrait of a young girl waiting
Stand beside it
We can't hide the way it makes us glow
It's no good unless it grows
Feel this burning love of mine
Deep inside the ever-spinning
Tell me, does it feel?
It's no good unless it's real
Hillsides burning, wild-eyed turning
Till we're running from it
I'd take care of you
If you'd ask me to
In a year or two
You say swimming in the lake
We'll come across a snake
It is real and then it's fake
Feel its heartbeat
Feel what you heat
Far so fast it feels too late
I'd take care of you
If you'd ask me to
In a year or two
I'd take care of you
Take care of you, that's true
Oh, I'd take care of you
Take care of you, that's true
Oh, I'd take care of you
Take care of you, that's true
Oh, I'd take care of you
Take care of you, that's true
Oh, I'd take care of you
Take care of you, that's true
Oh, I'd take care of you
Take care of you, that's true
Oh, I'd take care of you
Take care of you, that's true
Oh, I'd take care of you
Take care of you, that's true
Oh, I'd take care of you
Take care of you, that's true
Oh, I'd take care of you
Take care of you, that's true
Oh, I'd take care of you
The roses on the lawn
Don't know which side you're on
In a daze it will change
Wishes on a wheel
Wishes on a wheel
The voices in the hall
Will carry on their talking
Carry weight you can't take
Wishes on a wheel
Is it even real?
The contact that you make
The moment when a memory aches
Who can tell?
You do it well
Wishes on a wheel
How's it supposed to feel?
One in your life
It happens once and rarely twice
One in your life
It happens once and rarely twice
The roses on the lawn
Won't know which side you're on
On that hill
Forever still
Wishes on a wheel
How's it supposed to feel?
Wishes on a wheel
Out on the sea, we'd be forgiven
Our bodies stopped the spirit living
Wouldn't you like to know
How far you've got left to go?
Somebody's child, nobody made you
It's not what you stole, it's what they gave you
In or out you go
In your silence, your soul
Would you rather go unwilling?
Your heart is full and now it's spilling
Barreling down the steps
Only a moment left
In hind of sight, no peace of mind
Where you begin and I'm defined
Daughter of unconscious fate
Time will tell in spite of me
In hind of sight, no peace of mind
Where it begins and we're defined
Shadows bend and suddenly
The world becomes and swallows me in
Whistle to a friend gentle till the end
Once when I saw her there
White light she stood so still
Warming her eyes to the sea
Hardly her way to be free
Auburn and ivory
Heart break and pony tails
Holding her bones by a fire
writing the letter she sails
white page turns golder lights
wanting her one sacrifice
auburn and ivory
heart break and pony tails
come to me
and I'll tell you what's wrong
she said, "I'll wait for you. I'll wait for..."
Once when I saw her there
white light she stood so still
white page turns golder lights
hardly her one sacrifice
auburn and ivory
Baby's having such fun
Baby thinks he's the one
One and only exception
He'll go down the rest of them
April comes for one more May
The floor is swept, the clothes are put away
That's a day
Have you heard news?
Baby had to choose
Now he's on the wall
Can you make a judgement call?
April comes for one more May
The floor is swept, the clothes are put away
1, 2, 3, 4
From our lives
The land disappears
All that is left is a heart made of tears
From her smile the golden tooth is worn
Child you're only hope has flown
Hold on to this house
All I have left is the only place I've been
It's all heart and lungs
It's not that much fun
It's hard, hard to run
It's not that much fun
It's all heart and lungs
It's all...
Heart
Heart
Heart
So you thought it would happen
Good luck goodbye
I know when no one can reach you
No I don't mind
It's your word why would you fake it
These days go by
As you turn around-ow-ow-ow
Other people want to keep in touch
Something happens and its not enough
Never thought that it would mean so much
Other people want to keep in touch
Help me keep us together
Right place at the wrong time
It takes all kinds of weather
Clear slate blue skies
So what no one can reach us
These days go by
As you turn around-ow-ow-ow
Other people want to keep in touch
Something happens and its not enough
Never thought that it would mean so much
Other people want to keep in touch
Like a hand you reached out to me
The thunder rolls in with the dawn
Tiny fingers on the edges
Watch it unravel pulling everything apart
In the night we sleep together
The walls are shaking in their skin
Does it become you troublemaker
Watch them unravel you
Pulling everything apart
Some day out of the blue it will find you
Always
Always a place to remind me
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
You watch the shape these things are taking
Till you cry out in your sleep
Does it become you when you're under
Your heart is racing you're taking everything to heart
When you walk away
Will you show me how
Come pull me under
Some day out of the blue it will find you
Always
Always a place to remind me
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someday out of the blue it will find you
Always
Findin' a corner in a crowded room
Livin' on the dark side of the moon
My doctor said, ?Son what's killin' you??
He said, "You gotta bad case of the lonesome blues"
And you ain't lonely yet
You don't know how it feels
To have a broken heart
One that ain't never gonna heal
You ain't crying now
And I hope you never will
Try to be happy some how
It's easy to forget
You ain't lonely yet
I tried to call you about a hundred times
You sister says, you're gone and I hope she lyin'
You brother said, "Son, you better move along
'Cause everything you had is long gone ya?
You ain't lonely yet
You don't know how it feels
To have a broken heart
One that ain't never gonna heal
And you ain't cryin' now
I hope you never will
It's easy to forget
But you ain't lonely yet
I'm tellin' you baby
You ain't lonely
You ain't lonely yet
You ain't lonely
You ain't as lonely as it gets
You ain't lonely yet
You ain't lonely
You ain't lonely yet
Can't you hear me sayin'?
You ain't lonely
You ain't as lonely as it gets
You ain't lonely yet
You ain't lonely
You don't know how it feels
You ain't lonely
To have a broken heart
You ain't lonely
One that ain't never gonna heal
And you ain't cryin' now
You ain't lonely
And I hope you never will
You ain't lonely
Try to be happy somehow
It's easy to forget
Sunday in Memphis it's hallelujah dawn
I can hear the angels singin'
Such a beautiful song
Lost here in Memphis
Feeling so alone
I can hear the church bells ringing
Callin' me back home
Down on my luck
Here on these sidewalks
It's Sunday in Memphis
And I'm down to my last prayer
Sunday in Memphis
And I'm wishing you were here
I can still remember
Every word she said
With every step that's taken
And every tear that's shed
Fell down on my knees
Said please forgive me lord won't you please
It's Sunday in Memphis
And I'm down to my last prayer
Sunday in Memphis
And I'm wishing you were here
We all make mistakes sometimes
That's just the way it goes
But we can change and make it right I know
It's Sunday in Memphis
And I'm down to my last prayer
Sunday in Memphis
I was born on a bus, they say going south
Lived at a truck stop I never knew
My mother never sensed how it's been my home
Two-lane block top, a super highway
Drive 'em all night and I drive 'em all day
Sometimes it seems like I'm going nowhere
Like a restless wind I keep moving on
And I can't seem to stay in one place too long
I'm a road man, I'm a road man
I'm a road man, yeah, yeah, come on
Well, after a while, it all looks the same
Same old town with a different name
Huh, that's why I keep moving on
Now if I have a dollar every mile I drove
You know I would be rich beyond words
Money ain't the only thing I'd want
Like a restless wind I keep moving on
And I can't seem to stay in one place too long
I'm a road man, I'm a road man, Lord
I'm a road man, yeah, yeah
Think of me when you hear the wind blow
I stick around but not too long
Hey baby, my middle name is, 'Gone'
I'm long gone, I'm a road man, ha
Born on a bus, they say, going south
Lived at a truck stop, I never knew
My mother never sensed how it's been my home
Restless wind keeps me moving on
And I can't seem to stay in one place too long
I'm a road man, I'm a road man
I'm a road man, yeah, yeah, come on
Shake me down loose, I'm a road man, Lord
Take me on a groove, I'm a road man, Lord
Shake me down loose, I'm a road man
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Shake me down loose, I'm a road man, Lord
Shake me on a groove, I'm a road man, Lord
Shake me down loose, I'm a road man
C'mon, get on it
That's it, baby, now kick it in
Baby, it's cold outside out here in the rain
Sure looks warm inside through the window pane
I been knockin' on your front door
I been waitin' all night an' you know what for
It's cold outside, let me come on in
What's that blue tick hound doin' in my chair?
Better throw that dog a bone, get him outta there
I been walk, walk, walkin' since a quarter to four
I'm gonna keep talkin' 'til you open that door
It's cold outside, let me come on in
Get a little lovin' in the oven
Sugar pie in the pan
I know what you got cookin', baby
An' I'm a hungry man
I been comin' 'round nearly every night
But you keep that door, baby, locked up tight
Now tell me why, why must you insist
On deprivin' me of what I can't resist?
It's cold outside, let me come on in
Get a little lovin' in the oven
Sugar pie in the pan
I know what you got cookin', baby
An' I'm a hungry man
Well, your kiss is what I miss
A little lovin' after dark
So slide the chain off this old door
That's keepin' us apart
If I did you wrong, let me make it right
Or I can say I'm sorry for the rest of my life
Or we can talk, talk, talk about it all night long
You could open the door and let me see what's wrong
It's cold outside, let come on in
Baby, it's cold outside, let come on in
Baby, it's cold outside, let come on in
You've been steppin' just bit out of line
And that's walkin' on me
Well don't you know you can't be right all the time
Without walkin' on me
I don't wancha, putcha walkin' shoes on
And head on out that door
'Cause you'll go out and stay all night long
Like too many nights before
Well I've tried everything I can, and I'll beg and plead
Then she tells me baby there ain't no need
Just say it again, does me no good
Baby won't you treat me baby like you know you should?
I'll say it again if I thought it would
Make you treat me baby like you know you should
You've been walkin', walkin' on me
Yeah, you've been walkin', honey, walkin' on me
Now we both know this ain't the first time around
You're still walkin' on me
You go out loud and come back in without a sound
Honey, walkin' on me
Well I don't wancha, putcha walkin' shoes on
And head on out that door
'Cause you'll go out and stay all night long
Like too many nights before
I've tried everything I can, and I'll beg and plead
Then she tells me baby there ain't no need
Say it again, does me no good
Baby, won't you treat me baby like you know you should?
I'll say it again if I thought it would
Make you treat me baby like you know you should
You've been walkin', walkin' on me
You know, you've been walkin', honey, walkin' on me
Yeah, you've been walkin'
Yeah, you've been walkin'
I've tried everything I can, and I'll beg and plead
Then she tells me baby now ain't no need
Say it again, does me no good
Baby, won't you treat me baby like you know you should?
I'll say it again if I thought it would
Make you treat me baby like you know you should
Say it again, does me no good
Won't you treat me baby like you know you should?
Say it again if I thought it would
Make you treat me baby like you know you could
Now won't you treat me baby like you know you should?
You've been walkin', walkin' on me
You know, you've been walkin', honey, walkin' on me
Yeah, you've been walkin'
Honey, you've been walkin'
Yeah, you've been walkin', walkin' on me
You know, you've been walkin', honey, walkin' on me
You know, you've been walkin', honey, walkin' on me
I feel so lonely when I'm left alone
And I know
you're having fun
With all the other boys in town.
Why am I the only one?
I'm a first class loser that you don't wanna have around
I keep calling in the dead of night
Until you say you're gonna try treating me right.
well I know it sounds funny
But I don't wanna be in love
Just wanna piece of the action
And there's no amount of money
That could ever be too much
To get a piece of the action
To get piece of the action
Just wanna piece of the action
Just wanna piece of the action
To get piece of the action.
Little by little I'm beginning to learn
You're many man woman and it's heavy on my mind.
Any time you wanted love
You just snapped your fingers
And it's not very hard to find.
I don't wanna tie you down but it'll
Feel so good with you around.
well I know it sounds funny . . .
I don't wanna be the life of the party
I just wanna little excitement lay it down.
well I know it sounds funny
Stars in your eyes
little one
where do you go to dream?
To a place we all know: The land of make believe.
Shadows tapping at your window
Ghostly voices whisper: Will you come and play?
Not for all the tea in China
or the corn in Carolina
Never
never ever - they're running after you
babe.
Run for the sun
little one
you're an outlaw once again.
Time to change;
Superman will be with us while he can -
In the land of make believe.
Something nasty in your garden's waiting
Patiently till it can have your heart.
Try to go but it won't let you
don't you know it's out to get you
Running
keep on running
they're running afler your
babe.
Run for the sun
little one
you're an outlaw once again. . . .
Your world is turning from night to day
Your dream is burning far away.
Into the blue
you and I to the circus in the sky
Captain kid's on the sand
With the treasure close at hand -
In the land of make believe.
Run for the sun
little one
you're an outlaw once again. . . .
Run for the sun
little one
you're an outlaw once again. . . .
I've got a friend who comes to tea
And nobody else can see but me.
He came today but had to go. -
You gotta speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
'cos if you believe that a love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find
That there comes a time
For making your mind up.
You gotta turn it on
And then you gotta put it out
You go to be sure that it's something
Everybody's gonna talk about
Before you decide
That the time's arrived
For making your mind up.
Don’t let your indecision
Take you from behind
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind.
And now you really got to burn it up
And make another fly - by - night
Get a run for your money
And take a chance
And it’ll turn out right
And when you can see how it's got to be
You're making your mind up.
And try to look as if you don't care less
But if you wanna see some more
Bending the rules of the game
Will let you find the one you're looking for
And then you can show that you think you know
You're making your mind up.
Don’t let your indecision
Take you from behind
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind.
And now you really got to speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
'cos if you believe that a love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find
That there comes a time
For making your mind up.
For making your mind up.
[Hook]
[Verse 1]
Aint no haters f-ckin with me,
Cause I'm doing my thing.
Constantly.
You can't see me,
Cause I'm runnin' so fast,
Believe me,
I'm going,
Riddin' on this beat where's my keys?
The Bullsh-t is tired of me,
And I'm tired of the bullsh-t,
So I'mma kill this track and everybody knows it,
I'm so tired I'm fallin' asleep,
Wake up call,
Big S aint never gonna quit,
So You can go and talk your sh-t,
While I'll be running up,
Believe it,
I'm heading to the doors,
But not the exit,
I'm going opposite to the entrance,
Aint hiding so pile up your trenches,
No breaks so take back those benches.
Cause I don't give a f-ck what you gotta say,
Cause I don't wanna hear what you have to say,
I'm like the burger king,
I'm doin' it my way.
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Speedin' to the top.
Never ever gonna stop,
Buckle up for the drive,
Cause it's a crazy ride,
Got my license.
G1's.
And all I can hear is silence,
All I hear is one,
That one is me,
Trying to make y'all see,
That I'm no f-ckin' wanna be,
The only be I am is me,
I'm playin' the right cards,
I must be if I'm hittin' this beat hard,
Never ever gonna quit,
But I still hear your sh-t,
Mouth over the toilet,
Cause I've heard enough of it,
Tell me I don't have what it takes,
Give me that odd stare,
But I'm gonna raise my hands in the air to prove that I really don't care,
So say what you want,
Cause I don't give a f-ck,
I got this on lock,
Talk your sh-t to me,
But just know you'll never ever f-cking stop me.
[Hook]
Wake up every morning feeling tired
just wasting my day trying to get wired
but I just feel sick
sick and tired
three cups of coffee
this is unhealthy
why can't I just feel good
I always crash out early
maybe I get too much sleep
The new and improved
The new fangled monochromatic Steppin Fetchit in high definition
He's Ben Vereen Bojangles tap-dancin in this
Ten million chameleons and all of them gray
For the mind state is that of cubical space
Thinking of these verses as a thought grenade or worst case scenario a disintegration ray
Your pumping heart becomes the blank canvas
Whether we paint pretty pictures of flowers or a masterpiece of epic anguish
For my tour de force I downstroy your sign language
Make the sign of a fist and punch you square in your cabbage
Look around Dorothy you done missed your exit
We past Kansas
This be South West Atlanta
Where they run the West Cost offense with killa running backs and a flotilla of Bela Lugosis
In the back safety
It ain't safe see
So hide behind your most trusted reinforcements
My squad of stampeding elephants hit the record store
Samples scream for they life as if we was Lizzie Borden
Knowing full well they get chopped up in the morning and served with tea and crumpets
For in life you either a big game safari hunter or cute furry hunted
Forget the hardest thug ass rapper
I make nerdy suburban MCs be on some gun shit
Mad as hell 'cuz I came underhanded like a softball pitch covered in slimy spit
Bring your "A" game or end up a stuffed museum exhibit
I got connections at the illest Stepfather Factory ever
From here on out serving you nothing but sleep for dinner
You mad?
You better catch me in between blinks or moonwalking backwards on air with velvet slippers
I'm that fuckin' nigga
The bulletproof saint
My spinning metal halo spits titanium chromidium razor blades
In a 360-degree radius of time, energy, and space
From the twenty-eighth dimension where I contemplate over earth's dominion
You need blueprints to construct a stargate to escape the ass whipping knowing no ending
You'll be begging for any fat lady to start singing
Banished to the outer edge of infinity
Sentenced to pummel you senseless
Your guardian angels will be nowhere to be found
There'll be no Jehovah to witness
Consult your paganistic mystic
Your daily horoscope will read absolutely horrific
Your palm reader will be like "Oh Shit!"
Here comes that new legend
That don't spit that old Aunt Jemima folklore
The galactic revolutionary
Galloping on the back of crazy horse with a blue laser to blast these big lips on Mt.
Rushmore
Bringing you face to face with the newest in evolution
Welcome to the future
You've been categorized and archived with pins stuck in your abdomen like a pretty butterfly
You purple?
I was tired of working,
of the stressing out
and I felt like I'd forgotten
what love is all about
it seems the sun don't shine
now that you aren't mine
I keep thinking and hoping
that we'd see things through
but deep down inside
I had to get away from you
you know it hurts sometimes
now that you aren't mine
I remember it all so clear
in the back of my mind
its hard to not think about you
sometimes
I keep thinking about the time
that we used to spend
but I guess that all good things
must come to an end
can't get you out of my mind
I know you think you turned out well
you never skipped a beat
follow someone else's plan
for you, but not for me
the bad and the good
the bad and the good
everyone agrees with you
that doesn't mean you're right
you don't get to decide what's bad or good
I'll take this fight
you know exactly what to do
go ahead, you've got to choose
pick the wrong side and you'll lose
I made a real fast move
I fell for you
I didn't think it through
but I found out the truth
I know you're wrong
I know you're wrong
I know you're wrong
I guess nobody taught you better than that
I thought you'd make the move
just left me without a clue
don't ever come knocking at my door
I don't want to hear from you
I guess nobody taught you better than that
you're a fool
you can't go on treating people like shit
You're different then I thought you were
it turned out you didn't care
enough to even bother telling me
we'd go nowhere
you never spoke the truth
I don't know why I trusted you
you're different than I thought you were
your words were all untrue
you took a piece out of my heart
will it ever grow back?
I should have realized from the start
you're different than I thought
different, you're so different
Since you left
there's been a cloud over my head
it's hard to pull myself out of bed
and I don't know
how you've got me feeling so low
since you left
I've been staring at the ground
I've been kicking the dirt around
I can't explain
the grip you've taken over me
baby, since you left
baby, since you left
baby, since you left
I'm a mess
I'm a mess, since you left
since you left
there's been a cloud over my head
it's hard to pull myself out of bed
and I don't know
how you've got me feeling so low
since you left
I've been dreaming about the past
I've been running out of gas
I can't explain
I can't help but think about
what you do when I'm gone
who do you turn to?
who are you calling?
am I not the only one?
I've tried, I've tried
a thousand times
to see right through your lies
either you clean up well
or you're honest, still
there's a part of me that tires
I can't help but search for the wrong
in what should feel so right
picking out your faults only emphasizes
the weakness in my mind
I've tried, I've tried
a thousand times
to see right through your lies
either you clean up well
or you're honest, still
All your life
taking the easy way out
you've never fought for anything
it's hard to believe
you've got a heart and a brain
like every other human being
someday that will come back
to haunt you, it will
you better take the time
you better make things right
Feel insecure
thoughts are so unclear
and I'm undecided
if I really want you near
I'm pretty sure
you don't treat me like you should
I can only hope that
if you could, you would
a skeptic from the start
I've got no hope
I'd rather give up now
I don't need your pity
I don't want your time
I won't waste another breath
trying to ever make you mine
you've got a lot of nerve
acting as if you've been
sweating and crying
all this time has passed by, boy
I see through your act
you're lying
don't you dare
pretend to care
it's been eating at me for so long
I'll see through you and
Lead me on and jerk me around
just to mess with my mind
you fooled me once, I'll fool you twice
you better run and hide
how do you do
how do you do
how do you do
the things you do
the things you do
well the joke's on you
did you learn your lesson?
I hope you learned from your mistakes
I hope you think about it constantly
and it's rotting you away
it's on you
lead me on and jerk me around
just to mess with my head
you fooled me once, I'll fool you twice
your hands are bright red
did you learn your lesson?
I hope you learned from your mistakes
I hope you think about it constantly
People always let me down
and I try not to get pushed around
when you go out and act all dumb
you know I'm not having fun
oh baby now, why can't I
just love you all the time
but if you left
I'd feel worse off than the rest
why can't I
just love you all the time
mostly all I want to do
is just hang out alone with you
sometimes you make me so mad
all I wanna do is treat you bad
oh baby now, why can't I
just love you all the time
why can't I
