Everybody sings the blues sometimes
Everybody gets the bends
Everybody takes a knife sometimes
In the back from one of your friends
Everybody builds the walls up high
Everybody guards their soul
Everybody needs to feel safe inside
Even if it makes you alone
Chorus:
And your love is a beautiful thing
And your trust is a beautiful thing
Everybody sings the blues sometimes
Everybody gets the bend...
She took the money she stole the car keys
Told off the junkie at the liquor store
Once again she said she got it
But she just don't get it
Got my arms wide open like I've done before
A thousand times before
And I can't sleep tonight
Not knowing if you're alright
Chorus:
And she has got to be the life of everything
And she's got nothing left but still she goes
Do you ever know
I am waiting and ...
Rain falling in a paper cup
Got her head turned down and her collar pulled up
There's a sorrow in her eye and a sadness in her sigh
But she ain't gonna talk unless you come again, come again
Sitting on a curb in the afternoon
Watching colors dance around like her feet to a tune
You know she knows she knows she knows
There goes it goes it goes
You better come again
Chorus:
I got a lot to learn ...
Hear the crack of a bullet down on seventh avenue tonight
Man lies bleeding on the floor
Hear the cry of the cop car as the streets are filled with blue and white
They all rush into the clinic door
And I'm never gonna know how you ever get to sleep at night
And justify the things you do
With your hand on the Bible, you say you killed a killing man
Well mister what does that make you?
And it's ...
She's got a feeling she's not quite as cool as she thought she was
Yeah, yeah, oooo
She loves her bob-top, she hates all the poor kids that rise above
Oooo, no
She will never shake your hand, she dont understand
That everybody needs somebody's love
Chorus:
I threw away my super key
I'm just an ordinary hero.
Throw them all away,
Because we're all the same
A bunch of ordinary heroes
He loves hi...
Hey, please knock me down
Back down to the earth
So I can recall what all this is worth
I got what I want
but that's never enough
Hey, please knock me down
Back down to my face
So I don't take for granted this beautiful place,
this beautiful space
your beautiful face
Chorus:
But you, you make it so easy
You got the perfect change
The perfect change for me
You make it so easy you got the perfec...
Yesterday was the longest day I have seen
But tomorrow could be longer baby
Indecision rising up like steam
From an early morning highway
If things were different everything might work itself out fine
I'd like to see right through the windows in your mind
I know that everyone's got something up their sleeve
So what have you got for me my baby
Chorus:
I'm gonna give it up I think I've had enoug...
He said I'm strong enough to leave you
He said I'd like to be your friend
A thousand days he said forever and ever
But ever's at an end . . . this bitter end
And I come to you with good intentions
But I must have left them at your door
I guess I did not pay attention
Thought the flame was dead but it
Burns once more and now . . .
Chorus:
I'm caught in an orbit around your sun
Revolving, revolv...
Don't drag me down when you fall
Don't you know it's a privilege
You've got so much, got it all
Still you're counting your riches
And I could be ten years old
With a hole in my belly
No shoes on my soul
Chorus:
But I am here
Take my car, take my girl
I'm the richest man in the world
Steal my gold, take my pearls
I'm the richest man in the world
All that I am, I lay down
In a mess of confusion

Had this dream
I was lying on my back on a trampoline
Floating by are the peaches and tangerines
Tempting me but, baby I believe in planting seeds
And I believe that something beautiful's gonna to grow from me
Chorus:
Nothing to win and everything to lose
Standing on the sidewalk my toes are tapping inside my shoes
He asked me when he asked me what, he asked me all about
Do you believe in God,...
Seventeen we were too young
To be thinking about the future
To be worried about the consequence of fun. . .
It's just fun
Yeah we grew up oh so fast
Now we're longing for the innocence
We swore ourselves would never pass
But it has passed
Chorus:
Won't you listen to the words I'm speaking
Won't you listen to the words I'm speaking
Time could take this pain away and save us
If we learn to trust...
Baby open your eyes,
and take a look around.
There was child within you, oh no no,
'til you beat her down, down, down.
All the times I wondered...
Chorus:
Have I seen too much, you can't touch me
I'm untouchable
Do I know so much, you can't love me
I'm unlovable
Do I even know, do I even know, do I even know
What's best for me?
oh what's best for me.
Riding in the wasteland,
Just across the st...
So you've packed up all your makeup
And you grabbed your magazines
And you're leaving in the morning
On a train
I guess I've taken you for granted
I guess I messed this up again
I think I've finally learned my lesson
But too late
One thing always leads to another
One foot slips and down goes the other
One and one is two but it's just me
So until you're here
Chorus:
I'm waiting, I'm waiting her...
