Yeah, yeah I scream...
With you on my mind so heavy and so hard
I don't know quite everything
You make me think of a better thing...
Better things to fill my day with
But they don't mean to go
Please don't be too bad with me, God
Please don't be too good...
Let some women's light, women's light
Chain my hands with me singing...
Hani, Hani, come and dance with me
Whoa, whoa, sooner there
Hani, ...

Tables turned again and you my friend
You and I face each other all time and time again
I know it's sometimes hard, but knowing just
that we will get along until we're old and gray
and huddled up and doubled up we'll sit
And laugh of times were hard
Laugh of times when we thought all of it would end
It all was over, then again
And though all that I know is this way
And to...
Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles
Oh oh
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while
I'm in the front
The play on time is won
Oh but the difficulty?s coming here
I will go in this way
And I find my own way out
I won't tell you to stay
But I'm coming to much more
Me
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
What if they came down crushing
R...
Oh my head lay back on the seating
Been so tired throw away my surrounding
Like the sun and moon take for granted
Soon we move through the flood and we fade away
Lie about it
Cry about it
We'll be ok
Lean upon me
I'll lean upon you
We'll be ok
Oh I lay myself at your feet laughing
Hope mine eye made of the soul choir
Lean upon me
I'll lean upon you
We'll be ok
Lie about it
Cry about it
Soon fa...
sun will shine no matter what I do
sun shines bright now with you
what a wonderful thing for you to do
moon shine bright reflection in your eyes
a finer place he could not find
winter's cold spring erases
and the calm away by the storm is chasen
everything good needs replacing
hope all these changes happen with you
in my life never before have I lover so adored
her eyes her hair everything she...
Well hello there
My it's been a long,long time.
How ya doing? How am I doing?
Well I guess I'm doing fine.
But it's been so long, but it seems like
it was only yesterday.
Ain't it funny how time slips away.
Well how's your new love, how's your new love.
Well I hope he's doin fine.
I heard you told him, I heard you said quot;you'd love him til the end of timequot;
Now that's the same thing you ...
There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men they drink my wine
And the plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is no...
Floating in the lower nine
Waiting for a boat to throw me a line
See my Stella smile
Sitting on the roof eating alligator pie
First day the water rise
Second day the sun is high
Third day Stella cried cause night times dark as a dead man's eye's
Tell me when help is gonna come
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
Morning ride on by thank lord everybody's alright
Don't mean to thr...
Tables turned again
And you my friend
You and I face each other
Oh time and time out
I know it's sometimes hard
But knowing just oh
That we will get along
Til we're old and gray
And doubled up
We're doubled up, we'll sit
And think of times were hard
And laugh of times when we thought
All it would end, it was all over
Then again
And know that I'm yours "less rain"
And to leave you out, I'll die...
If these walls came crumbling down
You fell so hard to make us lose our faith
From what's left you'd figure it out
Still make lemonade taste like a sunny day
Stay beautiful baby
I hope you stay American baby
American baby
Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time I could see you smile
I, I hold hold on to you
You brin...
She said a hundred times
She said a thousand times
And oh, she said
Rain for me oh you but called me
It's my broken heart just where you leave me
Now I say to you, ???ooooh boy.???
Weight on my head
You won't go up, oh
Weight on my head
Oooh ooh my babe...
Stay a minute just to hear you waitin',
And no one confine her
Sweet and tender won't you go out again?
Oh, rain on my head
Wouldn't you
Rain on my head?
Oh, someone take off a
Weight all alone
Ahh, I met a ...
I call you up, you pick up
You call my bluff on the cards of love
You hold too close your hands to your chest
I can't read your eyes but I confess
It's lonely far from you, oh
Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you
To take my hand
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do? I love you
Whatever you are, I swear you'll be my angel, you

I am an old woman, named after my mother
My old man is another, child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder, lightning were desire
This old house would have burnt down, a long time ago
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster from an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl, well I ha...
He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins

Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing

to lead me by the hand
I really love you

Baby, It's alright
Stop your cryin' now
Nothing is here to stay
Everything has to begin and end
A ship in a bottle won't sail
All we can do is dream that the
wind will blow us across the water
A ship in a bottle set sail
Baby, It's alright
Stop your cryin' now
There was a weakling man
who dreamed he was strong as a hurricane
A ship in a bottle set sail
He took a deep breath and blew across the...
Confess, your kiss still knocks me off my legs.
The first time I saw you was like a punch right through my chest
and I will forever, ?cause you?ll forever be
my one true broken heart, pieces inside of me8232;and you?ll forever, my baby be.
You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.

Story of a man,
Who decided not to breathe.
Turned red, purple, then blue.
Colorful indeed.
No matter how his friends begged,
Well, he would not concede,
And now he's dead.
You see, cause everybody knows,
You got to breathe.
But, oh God,
Under the weight of life,
Things seem brighter on the other side...
Lighter on the other side...
Another one: See this monkey sitting on a tree,
One day, deci...
Look at this big - eyed fish swimming in the sea oh
How it dreams to be a bird swoop and diving through the breeze
So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach
Now he's dead you see beneath the sea is where a fish should be
But oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
You see this crazy man decided not to breathe
He turned red and blue - purple, colorful in...

She is a wicked ride
Yes she is
She said I'm gonna make you climb right out yourself
She said now break free
You might have to give up your life
But I was thinking
I'd love to get inside you
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
You make me crazy, baby, don't let up
But if I'm falling I don't wanna stop
I'd give up everything to have your love
I drink your poison if you fill the cup

Not enough, never too much

Rolling stone gathers no moss

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her

You are like a butterfly
A Catipillars dream to fly
So bust out of this old cocoon
And dry your wings off
Butterfly

Its sudden like a broken bone
And your luck wont always come along
So dry your tears away
Butterfly
Go ahead and fly
Dry your tears away

Crazy as I may,
Make my way through this world,
Oh, it's for no one but me to say,
What direction I should turn in now.
Cause I am the captain of this ship,
Wanting eyes and kissing lips.
The same as it was,
And will remain until I'm done and gone.
Strange, but it seems,
There's mutiny brewing inside of me now.
I don't want your pity,
Just the promise that I'll be alright.

She was his girl;
He was her boyfriend.
She be his wife;
Make him her husband
A surprise on the way,
Any day, any day
One healthy little, giggling,
Dribbling baby boy.
The wise men came
Three made their way.
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay.
Shower him with love
Love love

Love love is all around.

Cigarette lit
My plans to quit
And I know I can but I know I will forget it
Stuck here, I need something quick
Jus' to stop me thinking
Always loud, always in
Jus' come in to me
Excuse me please, what have you got?
Get me out of my head while I've still got the courage
But not so out, just out enough till I feel like I'm takin' off
The rain falls down, I'm not alone

Came dancing across the water
His galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
Palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
His coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
The secrets of the worlds
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and ...

Tied to me tight tie me up again

Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days

From a crowd 10,000 wide
Hope laid upon hope
That this crowd will not subside
Let this flag burn to dust
And a new a fair design be raised
While we wait head in hands
Hands in prayer

And we wave our hands

Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in Bel Air
Could I have been Lost somewhere in Paris
Could I have been
Your little brother
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone

Tongue gaping stare

Oh so I pray
Oh at night

All day light
I pray to you
And hear my request
I ask of you
To save this baby
O look at the girl
From inside
Is cancer eaten
Is life deprived
And if so by who
Could it be you
I see no need
For a baby's wisdom for you

All yellow turned
Cheeks are swollen
And soul is burned
Oh but the girl
The girl is gone

Unto your dreaming,
When you're alone,
Unplug the tv,
Turn off the phone.
Get heavy on with diggin your ditch.
Cause I'm digging a ditch,
Where madness gives.
Digging a ditch,
Where silence lives.
Digging a ditch,
For when I'm old.
Digging a ditch,
Where stories told.
Where all these troubles,
That weigh down on me will rise,
Unto your dreaming,
When you're alone.
Where all these worries,
That...
I'm digging a ditch
Where madness lives
I'm digging a ditch
Where my silence lives
I'm diggin a ditch and when I am through
Digging this ditch I'll dig one for you
Digging a ditch
As black as cold
Digging a ditch
Where I can hide my soul
Digging a ditch
Where my secrets stay
I saw a man on the side of the road
with a sign that read 'will work for food'
Tried to look busy, 'til the light turned green
I saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning
cause their homes were turning to water
A strange, kinda sad, big old bear
surely would happily eat me
he'd tear me to pieces that bear
Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the...
Once upon a time
When the world was just a pancake
Fears would arise
That if you went too far you'd fall
But with the passage of time
It all became more of a ball.
We're as sure of that
As we all once were when the world was flat
So I wonder this
As life billows smoke inside my head
This little game where nothing is sure, oh
Why would you play by the rules?
Who did, you did, you
Who did, you d...

What Will Become of Me?
Disputed Between A Song And An Outro Of Jimi Thing
I was falling always
And now I'm falling this way
What will become of me
When I'm all far away
I'm spinnning down
I'm spinning up
Upon this way
Wondering what will become of me
When I'm all far way
I'm spinning down
I'm all away

Don't drink the water here...
Come out, come out, no use in hiding.
Come now, come now, can you not see
There's no place here, what were you expecting?
No room for both, just room for me.
So you will lay your arms down,
Yes, I will call this home.
Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving.
Don't miss your boat, it's leaving now.
And as you go I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.
I...
Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here
What were you expecting
Not room for both
Just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say
You feel a right to remain
Then stay and I wil...
Dream I killed God and woke up
Dream I killed God and woke up
He's begging quot;please, please, please.quot;
quot;no, don't....quot;
Dream I killed God and woke up
Time dries, time dries my mind
Oh, I'll survive, no one can save us
Talk to myself, talk to my soul
I want you to follow
Yes, follow...
It's only...it's only a dream, only

Dreamed I killed God, and woke up

He's begging, "Please, please, please."

Dreamed I killed God and woke up
Time dries, time dries my mind
Oh, I'll survive, no one can save us
Talk to myself, talk to my soul

I would dig a hole all the way to China
Unless of course I was there then I'd dig my way home
If by diggin' I could steal the wind from the sails
Of the greedy men who ruled the world
Still you're my best friend
And after a good, good drunk
You and me wake up and make love after a deep sleep
Where I was dreamin', I was dreamin'
Of a dreamgirl, a dreamgirl, a dreamgirl, dreamgirl
I was feelin' ...
Oh, I'm choking, I'm choking
On the smoke from this burning house
I claw and I scrape
But I can't seem to get out
But who then, who is this
That's scratching from the ground?
Oh, it's my world too
But whose gold is this I'm digging out?
When we go, where we go when we're dead
Is the verdict still out? Do we get into line
To line up with those long dead now?
With the muffled tears of sorrow
Bon...
I hear more than I like to...
so I boil my head in a sense of humor...
I laugh at what I cannot change...
I throw it all on the pyre again...go then and do this
I'd do it for you...
when all that I want is so badly to be...
by myself again...
it's going to drive me right out of my brain
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive in drive out
I'll come back again
Drive in drive out I'm leaving

Father gone and I'm heading
It's a bold side of it again
When you decide to go to him
And the people toasting away
And the people all sitting there, c'mon

Everybody gonna come on in
Y'all it's you wanna c'mon, sir

Everybody wake up
If you're living with your eyes closed
See the man with the bomb in his hand
Everybody wake up
Oh, baby it's not easy sometimes
But build these walls ever higher and hide behind them
Seems an odd way to try and make things right
Oh, I feel like I'm crazy sometimes
Our finest hour arrives

The believers stand behind him and smile
Everybody...
Pick me up, love
Pick me up, love
Hey, how long, how long, how long
Everyday
Everyday
Pick me up, oh, from the bottom
Up to the top, love, everyday
Pay no mind to taunts or advances

Look at me dreaming of you
All I could hope is to have you
To have you walking with me
Laughing so in love, we two
Almost drunkenly
I did imbibe of this
Fantasy of you and me
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours?
Was I fool to think it all?
I've grown tired...
Lying in the park on a beautiful day,
sunshine in the grass, and the children play.
Siren?s passing, fire engine red,
someone?s house is burning down on a day like this?
The evening comes and we?re hanging out,
On the front step, and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down,
And that war song is playing, ?why can?t we be friends??
Someone iss screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs

Hey
Mama took everything
See you change and leaving
Come on, come on, baby, yeah

Take him, take my time to go
And I wonder and I'm happy well say
Yeah, I'm coming
Oh aren't, oh aren't you
Yeah, Tired
And write you, and write you
Yeah, and leave me i'll turn you away
Like a fool
More happy than sad and again
I'm in a hurry, oh

Oh stay right here
So I can catch your smile, it's good
Stranger in a crowded room
What did you say your name was? Oh baby
Let's have a drink, and get to the bottom of this hill
And once we see the bottom, we know we'll reach another hill
But you won't be a stranger in a room
A stranger in this crowded room, with you, a good good time tonight
Let's go away, all of us, way down
I know I'll danc...
Neon shines through smokey eyes tonight
It's 2 a.m. I'm drunk again
And it's heavy on my mind
I could never love again
So much as I love you
Where you end, where I begin
Is like a river running through
Take my eyes, take my heart
I need them no more
If never again I fall upon the one I so adore
Chorus
Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
Cause I don't need to think

Hello, how are you doing today
I hope I find you feeling healthy
I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today
On our way into the night
I saying love treats us well keeps us dancing
Baby I love you well our love is sure and find
So why when I approach you my tears they fall like rain
You tell me baby your heart into a thousand pieces dies
Stop only the old and wise with clouded eyes
You can't...

Muriel Stonewall 1903 to 1954
She lost both of her babies in the second great war
Now, you should never have to watch as y...
I fade from the light
Your glory was lost that night
And no mind can't get me right
And now I'm praying that you'll find me out
Stone, stone has pulled me down
But my faith has got me bound
To your grey blue eyes
Don't forget my broken heart
You remember it from the start
You made it and it's all a part
Of your grey blue eyes
You're gone and I know I'm dead
I've lost my way, can't find me
In y...
Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out onto Grey St.
And she thinks...hey
How did I come to this
I dreamed myself thousand times around the world
But I can't get out of this place
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together
To grey, and it breaks her heart
Oh...
Hey little dreamer's eyes open and staring up at me
Oh little lonely eyes open and radiant
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come I'll take your soul
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come and I won't go
Darlin' dreamin in the night
Shadows on the windows
Lead oh and everyone go
Well leave me on the night
I will give you lightning
I will not relinquish light...
Yeah, yeah I scream...
With you on my mind so heavy and so hard
I don't know quite everything
You make me think of a better thing...
Better things to fill my day with
But they don't mean to go
Please don't be too bad with me, God
Please don't be too good...
Let some women's light, women's light
Chain my hands with me singing...
Hani Hani, come and dance for me
Whoa, whoa, sooner there
Hani Han...
I won't be so what will we wait
and our reasons sew away
then we crawl out of our holes into the open air
take us so long we cried away
in corners they may feel
but oh no what I see
but I know it's not fair
baby say you love me
and don't leave her waiting
by the any one word
you call me up and say a lie
so child take'em I call to come again
and now I'm watching you
why and it's all into the ol...
My head won't leave me crying
And I lay this one
She won't give me happy
As I lie here alone
My own will give you baby
Call again
Let me be the number
You lead me away again
It was anything I need to
Find my way through this sand ?
My baby lead my head away
And calling by my head.
Boy
When you away we go
Sending me crawling back over
And crawl back to say
My head, my head won't rely
On the tro...
She was my one and only
She was my girl, she love me always
She was mine and I was a fool, I was a fool and now, she's gone
Sitting here I've done my share of this, still I hope the lord forgive me my sin
Ten years ago down by the lake, I sunk my sweet love a watery grave
Well I close my eyes and still see her face, I'd give my soul to take back that day
Hello again its been too long, too long...
A hungry boy
In a town of one hundred more
The food is out the door
Makes me want to help myself, help myself
A river red
Pouring from the side of his head
A bullet through the brain
Make him feel different today
Oh colder grow the days
Oh much faster pass the years by
'Til we die
A treasure not my own
I take it, took it, nobody will notice
Well that suits me well
Big house, big yard, help mys...
Hold me out
So I can see you
Hold me down
If runnings what's got into me
Cause cry as I may
I won't set you away
Oh I'm older
Still the baby gets his way
And I'll wander to the big line
And never wanna make the best 'lil rhyme
And soon I'm in the back door
And your deceit is growing big
Oh, I'm on
But you'd rather be somewhere else
But I'm out here all alone
Trying to reach you
So, hold me dow...
Hold Me Up
So I can see you
Hold me down
If running's what's got into me
What cries my name
I won't set you away
Oh I'm older
Still the years give
And I'll walk into the big line
And I'll hold me
And soon I'm in the big door
And your deceit is growing big ??
Oh, I know
That you rather be somewhere else
But I'm not here all alone
Trying to wish you so
Hold Me Down
If I've got the fear
Hold Me u...
How many more nails
you gunna drive through my heart
It was different from the...
How many more knives into my back, Jack
How many more broken hearts
can you stand through all the rain
How many more nails
you drive into my heart
How many more, baby
Haw many more times tried,
oh, oh, oh
How many more, baby
Will you go and leave me alone,
leave me alone...
How many more times you like me to beg ...
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Here you go, you dirty girl
Good God, try to love, try to, oh
God's love is alive inside you
You know who needs you
I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind
It's my aim to kill you
My aim to love you
You and I are such a pretty thing
Smile, smile...
I'm mixing up a bunch of magic stuff
A magic mushroom cloud of care
A potion that'll rock, the boat will rock
I'll make a bomb of love and blow it up
I did it, do you think I've gone too far?
I did it, guilty as charged
I did it, it was me right or wrong
I did it, yeah
I never did a single thing that did a single thing
To change the ugly ways of the world
I didn't know it felt so right inside
...
I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
but I know
the touch of you is so hard to remember
but like that touch I know no other
and for sure we have danced
in the risk of each other
would like to dance
around the world with me
I'll be falling all about my own thing
and I know your the heaviest weight
when your not here that's hung
around my head
and your lips burn...
Sometimes I can't move my feet it seems
As if I'm stuck in the ground somehow like a tree
As if I can't even breathe
And all my screams they come whispering out
As if nobody can even see me, like a ghost
Sometimes I can't see myself, sometimes
Then again if I were a king, if I had everything
If I had you and I could give you your dreams
If I were giant sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what...
There are places I remember all my life,
Though some have changed,
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compares with you,
And these memories lost their meaning
When I thin...
Lately I've been feeling low
A remedy is what I'm seeking
Take a taste of what's below
Come away to something better
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say...
If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you
Take a ...
Well I said with all this scatter going on
Lock the door with the television on
staring blankly at the screen the way you do
I keep ya there and your money too
if you all line up inside here
do what I tell you and everything'll be okay
and if you're lost I got a Bobble-Head Jesus
get on your knees and that Jesus'll please ya
Money is clean cause we scrub it good
with guns and gasoline we could...
You do it for the joy it brings
Because you're a joyful girl
Because the world owes me nothing
And we owe each other the world
I do it cause it's the least I can do
I do it cause I learned it from you
I do it just because I want to
Just because I want to...
Everything I do is judged
And mostly they get it wrong Oh well
The bathroom mirror has not budged
And the woman who lives there can tell T...
I see you now
Oh fill me now
I feel it's coming down
My voice cries out
And I only hope
That you're the one my voice will fall upon
I play my cards
But it's by the grace of love
That I play my cards at all
Come fill me up
Oh fill me now when I'm empty
When I'm all dried out
Rain, rain, rain down on me
Again and again
Rain down on me
Oh I see you now
I see them all, see them all
They line up to...
Hey, golden girl, with your hair swinging down
All of this love you have going round
What will you do when the gold turns to grey?
Have you thought now
Well, what the hay, give us some
Cover yourself with the safety of lies
You'll find it's easier 'til you face dying
Oh, sweetest smile in a confident come along
All of this longing you will done
Up and out, goes to your heart
And you will make ...
Fire
The sun is well asleep
Moon is high above
Fire grows from the east
How is this
Hate so deep
Lead us all so blindly killing killing
Fools we are
If hate's the gate to peace
This is the last stop
For raining tears
War
The only way to peace
I don't fall for that
Raining tears
You're righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one...
Oh in excitement
home that we call this
we charge with an eye on the line
and we go over
oh proud and strong
we come down on babies and mothers
and leave them to die
while we plant all over
and call it home
So weep at life
and leave me pray there
but still I should call it home
native soil
has anyone stolen land
and I love it like no other
And now my grandfather say
open your charge
you charge...
I let you down
Let me pick you up
I let you down
Let me climb up you to the top
So I can see the view from up there
Tangled in your hair
I let you down
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind
I let you down, oh, forgive me
You give me love
Let me walk with you, maybe I could say
Maybe talk with you, open up
And let me through
Don't walk away
Don'...
When I step into the light
My arms are open wide
When I step into the light
My eyes searching wildly
Would you not like to be
Sitting on top of the world with
your legs hanging free
Would you not like to be ok, ok, ok?
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you takin a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes
To my ankles
To my head
To my soul
And I'm blown away
W...
Oh searching tired of love grown up, now it all falls out
Oh lovely dreamer - magic prince - swoop you up, swoop you up
But no no i, just one guess - man at all
While I grow up, came your way
Nobody's so special in this way, nobody to sweep you away
Oh light, oh light come and lift me up
Oh light please come lift me up
Oh sweet light come lift me up
When you go down remember your steps
As a ba...
Oh, hello and goodbye
so fast it's gone
I can't get your face from my mind
can't get your eyes from my
can't stop your voices
on that day you told me directions to
where I don't know now
it all flew by me
so all I can do is hope that you
come my way
oh and you're nowhere near me
that you'll be there and hope that
with luck, I'll see you again
Oh I didn't get your name
nor you mine
or the time ...
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed beneath the Town Hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else, then you won't h...
No no, momma now devil don't do-si-do
Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road
And the coins in their eyes represent the money they owe
No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told
Down by the bayou
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Say my story again-you
Louisiana
Down by the bayou
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Tryin' to play with the caine-yo...
Where you are thats where I want to be
And through your eyes are all the things I want to see
In the night you are my dreams
You're everything to me
You're the love
Of my life
And the breath
In my prayers
Take my hand
Lead me there
What I need is you here
I cant forget the taste of your mouth
From your lips, the heavens pour out
I can't forget when we are one
You alone and I am free
Everyday, ...
Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me oh won't you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth
Don't be us too shy
Knowing it's no big surprise
That I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you
Look please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down
Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hand your hands
So much we hav...
My heart was made of broken bones
My Soul's a bag of stick and stone
And out along this dusty road
You have come my love to take me home
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
to hear me sing my love out loud oh...
You lightly lifted me away
Out of a darkness, cold and gray
And I work beneath the midday sun
My cool blue water you have ...
Baby I'll be your soldier. Gladly, I'll do your bidding
Just a taste of what your holding, for just a taste you could only... me.
Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love. I'll be right here, lying in the hands of God.
Here it comes, diving in to me.
Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew why would you, cut the wings off a butterfly? Fly.
Save your sermons for someone that's...
Santa Maria choose your children
Santa Maria virgin child
all our wars over you we are fighting
and all our time faith justifying
Brother caged Babylon will fall
Sister chained and bound, beaten and bleeding
The tv's on, to me this explains it
Wearing a tie like daddy speaks it
Screaming from the minarets
Later on we'll all be dancing
Screaming from the minarets
Yes indeed i'm making faces

Great monkey man has gone the distance,
The lucky one's going to get it.
Loving life now,
Living on top of.
Lucky ones always get it all.
Oh, I'm hungry,
Don't wanna die like a little dog.
Gonna take what I can get,
I'm the monkey man,
With the great, great monkey plan.
It's crazy, crazy, little man,
You've got yourself entangled.
Oh, love to lie to myself,
To say everything is fine now.
We go...
Oh, people killing people
Kings to conquer kings
Always in the seeker
Taking the light
Away from me
Death comes to the seeker
And death comes to the fool
Death comes to us all one day
Let the river of time swim over you
Oh swim over you
Oh time swim over you
Mother fighting mother
Children killing kings and kings and children too
[ HELP I can't figure this one out ]
Playin a different tune
The...
Mother, Father, please explain to me
Why a world so full of mystery
A place so bitter and still so sweet
So beautiful and yet so full of sad, sad
Mother, Father, please explain to me
Why forests march to desert speed
While snowcapped mountains melt away
What do we tell our babies, when do we say, oh
Mother, Father, please explain to me
How a man who rocks his child to sleep
Pulls the trigger o...
I've been high, and i've been down
My head in the clouds and my hands in the ground
In the arms of a woman, I found my way home
In the arms of a woman, I had been lost
When I'm so lost that this losing feel like dying
I hope you'll be by me then
When I'm so lost that this losing feel like dying
I hope you'll be by me then
As a young man, I was afraid
Of my life, what would I make?
I would make...
Oh, my head lay back on the seating
Been so tired, throw away my surrounding
Like the sun and moon take for granted
Soon we move through the flood and we fade away
Lie about it,
Cry about it,
We'll be ok
Lean upon me,
I'll lean upon you,
We'll be okay
Oh, I lay myself at your feet laughing
Hope mine eye made of the soul choir
Lean upon me,
I'll lean upon you,
We'll be okay
Lie about it,
Cry ab...
Yeah, yeah I scream...
With you on my mind so heavy and so hard
I don't know quite everything
You make me think of a better thing...
Better things to fill my day with
But they don't mean to go
Please don't be too bad with me, god
Please don't be too good...
Let some women's light, women's light
Chain my hands with me singing...
Hani hani, come and dance for me
Whoa, whoa, sooner there
Hani han...
Share the time again
I spend with you
A friend is always good to have
But a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down at me
I dream of you at times when you're by my side
Dream you're not just like you are
So troubled and doubling my pain
Just one more tear
You shed for me
I wish I could climb inside your mind
And spend some time and hug and hold you
And mold you into what I'd like
But n...

Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while I'm in the front
The play on time is won
But the difficulty is coming here
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I won't tell you to stay
But I'm coming to much more
Me
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
What if they came down crushing
Remember wh...
Oh Lyrics
Dave Matthews
The world is blowing up
The world is caving in
The world has lost her way again
But you are here with me
But you are here with me
Makes it ok
I hear you still talk to me
As if you're sitting in that dusty chair
Makes the hours easier to bear
I know despite the years alone
I'll always listen to you sing your sweet song
And if it's all the same to you
I love you oh so wel...
Bring that beat back to me again
Take me back, take me back, can't catch me, can't catch me
Bring that beat back to me again
Take me back, take me back, can't catch me, can't catch me
Ride my bike down the old dirt hill
First time without my trainin' wheels
First time I kissed you I lost my legs
Bring that beat back to me again
Scream and shout out loud our innocence
And days when all we did w...
Hey man I noticed you were
You were crying
Ohh shame on you would leave it inside
Mind open your mind you say quot;no, well no, will Iquot;
Hey cause yourself all alone
You will lie down
Oh, put yourself away from all your love
And you will soon lie down
Said I can leave it way open eyes
I go to you see me whine
See me lie here
Oh, call see me whine call you way down
The pain has been riddling...
Nine planets round the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much we take for granted
So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
If green should slip to grey
But our hearts still bloody be
And if mountains crumble away
And the river dry Would it stop the stepping feet
Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury...
On the window ledge
I don't feel safe
Stay looking down on you
It's out of my hands for now
It's out of my hands for now
I can't just walk away
It'd be nice to walk away
But I don't feel safe
Get away, all the way up here
It's out of my hands for now
It's out of my hands for now
Oh, it is down from here
Down from here
I start to feel insane, betrayed
Out on my window ledge
And now our finest h...
Come and relax now
Put your troubles down
No need to bear the weight of your worries
Just let them all fall away.
Work ourselves, fingers to the bone
Suck the marrow, drain my soul
Pay your dues, and your debts
Pay your respect, everybody tells you
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Has she really lost her mind?
I said, I couldn't tell you
I've lost mine
Words, words, words, have you heard
A bird in hand is much better than,
Any number free to wander
Fly aw...
seven tumbling oceans surround the ground that I dance upon
black and white and the rainbow, five colors in my eyes

Isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day
Like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away
Just thinking out loud
Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
But looking at blood
It's alive right now
Deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate moving wine to tears
Drinking it deep
Then an evening spent dancing
It's you and me
This love will open our wor...
Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time
I against my troubles
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while I'm

the play on time is won

And find my own way out

Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch,
limb to limb you see
All in a day's dream
I'm stuck
Like the other monkeys here
I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in here again
But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
Ventured away
Walking tall, head high up and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever ...
Oh, rain, well, in your dreams, rain, right
Go up and rain when you're flying
You don't know what you don't know
You know what you don't know
And you know what you know
Why rain?
But you're evil
I have deep confidence in me
Rain, but sure is rain
I won't go away from you
Oh, I am the devil, I am rain
The devil hides in you, to play again
Oh yeah God
Sometimes I'll sleep on it
This life I would...
Open wide
Oh so good I'll eat you
Take me for a ride
In your sweet delicious
Perfect little mouth
Thereupon I linger
You will have no doubt
I'll do my best for you, I do
Love
Let's stop to get it going
Lost myself just thinking
About the two of us
From each other drinking
Begin with the lips
Fingertips and kissing
Turn me inside out
I do my best for you
Up and down we go
From the top you push ...
Rhymes and reasons you give
Too much is not enough
Leave what you see alone
For someone else to call
An old man calls you to tea, yeah
Sip it like you're typical
My love is what you make of it
Brothers and sisters
It's not enough, not enough
Talk, call, talking of leaving, don't worry
Would ya give anything
Oh call me lazy
Would you like to talk?
I'm no Raven to see, yeah,
Flies the blackest a...
Lies and reason you give
Too much is not enough
Leave, what you see leave alone
Someone else to go
Romance holds you to tea, yeah
Sip it like you're typical
My love is what you make of it
Brothers and sisters, it's not enough...
Not enough
Talk, call, talking of leading the way
Won't ya give any lie?
Of all the ways
Won't ya lie with me?
Man, I've no Raven to see here
Flies the blackest way

Recently I've been
All of content and dreaming I have been
'Cause I been lately seeing
Quite a bit of this woman live on my street
People stare and we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away
She comes to me
I watch her drink
I watch her comb her hair
Both say that we never before have
Felt as recently
People stare and we just ignore
What's the use ...
Oh my dear,
When I was dreaming,
I wish you would take your lies elsewhere
Don't give them to me.
Oh my friend,
Old as you are,
How could I trust you as far
As I could throw your brother?
As to you my love,
My precious baby,
If I die be sure that you meet me up
Where I can stay with you.
Take my flesh,
And eat it down
Drink my blood for every pound you can brother.
We reconcile, our difference...
Oh well oh well so here we stand
But we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
How can I turn to it
'Cause I'm all locked up in this
Dark place - and I do not know
I'm good as dead
My head aches - warped and tied up
I need to kill this pain
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it w...
She walks through my head ?
Oh mountains change my way
Walking would have been faster
But mountains got in the way
Lotta snow today
Lotta snow today
And we go here ?
Got me tired again
Hey
Drive two miles an hour down a mountain trail
Don't go any faster, gonna lose my way
Can't go any faster, gonna lose my way
Right on the mountain, snow today
Heeeeeeeey
Heeeeeeeey
Again we play
Giddyup giddy...
Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey I cryyyyyy-
If I don?t get Rye Whiskey, I surely will die-
If the ocean was Whiskey and I was a duck,
I?d swim to the bottom and never come up-
I?d swim to the bottom and never come up-
Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey I cryyyyy
If I don?t get Rye Whiskey, I surely will die

Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder.
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping tom for the mother station
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Satellite, headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish ...
Driving through the desert I met a man
Who told me of his crazy plan
He'd been walking there for 20 days
He was gonna walk on for 20 more
I said, ???How 'bout a drink or a bite to eat???
He said, ???No, my faith is all I need???
So then, save me, save me
Mister walking man, if you can
You don't need to prove a thing to me
Just give me faith make me believe
C'mon save me, save me
Mister walking...
So here we are tonight,
you and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
what's on my mind
You've got me wild
turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening,
we'll share some wine, maybe we'll get high.
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, lov...
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we think what we see
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round
About this merry-go-ro...
Baby when I think about you
All I want to do
Be by your side
Take a little ride
Take a little
Baby you know I?m all about you
And all I want to do
Is take a little ride
Maybe get inside
Maybe get in
Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna take your mind
And then you?ll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you,...
The thing I like about you
Is the way you
The way that you do
The thing I like about you
God and the devil alone
Could not have made you up
The two must have worked
As one together
So good just wanna eat you up
Nothing like the real thing
Lick your sticky fingers boy
And sing for your dinner sing
Come on pretty baby
Make me lose my mind
Everybody get together
Gonna make love shine
Do you know ...
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
scat singing
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
Or will you see I'm as insecure as anybody else?
It's like this
scat sing...
Pass the time with you in mind
It's a rather quiet night
Feel the ground against my back
Counting stars against the black
Thinking bout another day
Wishing I was far away
Whether they were dreams or worries
You were there with me
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears running down my face
Sister, Sister keep me
I hope you always kn...
I know I'll miss her later
Wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creator
To twist her arms now
She stares up at the stars when
The stars fell from her hair then
I bent down to collect them
And then she was gone
Oh, I sleep just to dream her
I beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms
Oh, I came there to find out
Find out she'd mad...
Hungry
Last night, no way I was gonna be left hungry
And then your daddy caught me sneakin' out your bed
It's just a game I play, it's just I roll that way
Don't think sweet baby I'm messin' with your head
I'm a smooth rider baby
You know I just keep movin' on
I don't know why I like to carry on the way I do
It's just that I'm in love with you
If you see me out there runnin'
And you hear the s...
Everything's different with my head in the clouds
I hit this corner with my foot on the gas
I started sliding, I lose it
Everything's different just like that
Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me
Frozen heart, screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?
So damn lucky that you went on ahead
You said, you said "I'll see you later"
I heard what you said a few minutes later
N...
I say my hell is the closet I'm stuck inside
can't see the light
and my heaven is a nice house in the sky
I got central heating and I'm alright
yeah yeah yeah can't see the light
keep it locked up inside don't talk about it
t-t-talk about the weather
yeah yeah yeah
open up my head and let me out little baby
'Cos here we have been standing for a long long time
can't see the light
treading trodd...
Roll out down to midnight
Then roll on downtown till it's light
Because tomorrow, we may die
Oh, but tonight we're dancing in the faint light
Don't you rob yourself of what you're feeling
Don't rob yourself of all that you could be
Roll hard till midnight
Roll till it's light, come on now
Stay up and make some memories
Yeah, with us now
Roll the red carpet out with friends
To whom, to love and...
One last kiss one only
Then I'll let you go
Hard for you I've fallen
But you can't break my fall
I'm broken don't break me
When I hit the ground
Some devil some angel
Has got me to the bones
You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time
Too drunk and still drinking
It's just the way I feel
It's alright
Is what you told me
Cause wh...
Probably get it wrong much as I get it right
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
I remember most about that night
Is I love the way you move baby
Yes I love the way you move baby
I like most liquor, but I don't like gin
Dont always like the skin I'm in
But when I get it wrong gotta start again
But I love the way you love me, baby
And I love the way you move
I love the way you move
...
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
On my way came up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone
From hand to hand
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
Could Dad be God
Crosses cross hung out like a wet rag
Forgive you why
You hung me out to dry
Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
Bu...
In the Spotlight life is so peachy yeah, yeah, yeah
Wouldn't you like to retire with a million?
A million beating hearts
Behind brick and cold steel piping
Fighting for the top
Fighting for the room to breathe
Bench parks sleepers lie
Cold blanket bedless babies
Here this must stop
I cannot stay
Damn you, big city, black city
Rising up around me, steal my soul away
Big city, black city
Rise an...
Please find your place
The room grows scarce
Once we?re all inside
The service can begin
For a moment, if you please
Forget what you believe
And naked, you will see
That we are all the same
But how, your kiss
Your words, your lips
Your flesh, your bones
Exactly what you need
Why should I feel intrusion?
Why be afraid of what we do not understand?
To eliminate exclusion
Cut out the differences ...
[Incomprehensible]
Get up y'all
Yeah
Stand up Stand up
Stand up Stand up
Stand up
I woke up to the angels singin' in my head
You looked so good naked next to me, the angel in my bed
Stand up Stand up
Stand up Stand up
I feel like a drug is cookin' in my veins
I'm so out of my mind, I'll shoot you up again
Stand up Stand up
Stand up Stand up
Water save my soul
Stand up
I feel like smoke and fir...
We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
You could fry an egg
Remember you were talking
I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertip
Wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
Little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay, stay, stay
for awhile
Later on the sun began to fade
Then t...
We were walking

Reached up and caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertip

Maybe different but remember winters warm there you and I.
Kissing whiskey by the fire with the snow outside.
And when the summer comes
in the river swim at midnight shiver, cold touch the bottom
stars are bright with muddy toes
Stay or leave--I want you not to go,
but you should.
It was good, as good goes.
Stay or leave--I want you not to go.
But you did.
Wake up naked, drinking coffee, makin...
I walk half way around the world
Just to sit down by your side
And I would do most anything girl
To be the apple of your eye
But troubles they may come and go
But good times they're the gold
And if this road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
Any place you wanna go
Know I'll be next to you
If it's treasure, baby, you're looking for
I'll search the whole world through
Know troubles they may c...
Hello again
Seem like forever between now and then
You look the same
I mean you look different but you haven't changed
Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you laughin' and I was afraid
That I'd get in the way
I did not think I would see you again
So how have you been?
Do yo...
every night stopping
it's raining
scary oh
so rage you again
your
on fire
i one decide to run out
oh they got off you did
wonder where you say you knew
sugar ain't poison
but sugar will kill you
it's too much of a good thing
maybe not so
i wasn't somebody
no hand out
i give you
i stare back and
gonna let you out
i wonder what you
all of sad you knew
sugar ain't poison
but sugar will kill you

We talk on the phone
There it is it's only your mind
But can it ?
Don't you hurt
It's all coming right here
The sweet up and down
Tickle in your throat
Things you know quite well
You're a joke
I know what's gone wrong
Needles in my legs keep me raw
The sweet up and down
I believe in love
But think nothing about it
When you're not around
I believe in love
Think it's just so fine
Sweet up and do...
Hey my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your times with me
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off your mind
See, you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
And so can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
We'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not...
Standing here
The old man said to me
"Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree"
Below it he would sit
For hours at a time
Now progress takes away
What forever took to find
Now he's falling hard
He feels the falling dark
How he longs to be
Beneath his dreaming tree
Conquered fear to climb
A moment froze in time
When the girl who first he kissed
Promised him she'd be his
Rem...
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did it
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did
You know they didn't ever
Have to love me
No, no, no
And no one ever will ever
Love them now
Oh, oh, but they
They always wanted somehow
To save me
Why, oh, why
For pit's sake, they should've saved themselves
Oh, oh, but you
You always said I never missed...
Hoping for a new beginning
To take me away from my surroundings
So I can finally say goodbye
Wondering what'll become of us
When we are all old and gray
And this time that we've spent together
Was well worth our wait
Think of the fun that we had
Not caring until the next morning
It feels so good to go through life
With your eyes half open
We are all one and the same
We are lovers, and brothers...
I saw you walk
You know you say
Like a ghost you know to me babe
Come back boots make you look slick
Oh now I see you walk home from school
You got so lost on the way
You got me feeling like a kid
But this man is no kid you know
So I'm not goin pull your hair
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
That's why with you cant say what I mean
Wanna to stay but I think I'm gettin outta here
I fall so...
Come in from the cold for a while
Everything will be alright
Come in from the noise for a time
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
For now, goodbye, friend,
Goodbye.
Oh, oh deep water
Black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted line
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the maker
I could not see for the fog in my eyes
I could not feel for the fear in my life
From across the great divide, in the distance I saw a light
John baptist walking to me with the maker
So my body is bent and broken by long and dangerous sleep
I can't work the...
And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again
Would you like to play
With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage
While you lie around
With your hands up and out
So resigned you will fall down
While you around here play
Wild on the warm and far away
While you around here play
The days keep scribbling themselves
In tidy li...
You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love
The space between the tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like, will it rain today?
Waste the hours with t...
I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Oh, reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Oh, I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Oh, I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear
Oh, Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
God knows it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if y...
So we wrote
On precedents and angels
We build a book
We build a road out of nothing but a saying
Out of governments and police we build a book
Of how the things we know should be
So when a man comes with a difference
A woman comes with an idea
We crush it down to nothing in the fear that we will lose it
Open up the books
I'm guilty of it, too
Just like all of us
The information flies without u...
If I'm a ticking time bomb
Waiting to blow my top
No one would ever know
Not until I blew up
No one would believe it
He was such a normal man
Shake their heads and wonder why
If Martians fell from the sky
What would that do to God?
Would we put the weapon down
Or aim it up at the sky
No one would believe it
Except the fucking nut jobs
They'd laugh and cry
"We told you so"
Baby when I get home
...
It's the time of the season
When the love runs high
In this time, give it to me easy
And let me try with pleasured hands
To take you and the sun
To Promised lands
To show you every one
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name?
What's your name?
Who's your daddy?
Who's your daddy? He rich?
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken
Has he taken
Any time
Any time to show
To show you what yo...
Hey, your bones are brittle
Inside you
Wrapped so soft your blood is running
I'll be there
If you're moving slowly
Will you still get there
I'll be there
Such a strong desire
Like a hunger
All you need
To hope you keep your head yeah
As the slow hand quickens
What you've done with
All those around you
Hope for always that someone
Will come and save you
Well I'll be there
To watch you sultry tu...
Straight in, suck up and go,
cool it, swallow, swallow
Breathe deep, take it all
it comes cheap
Push it through the doors
because in between the lines
I'm gonna pack more lines
so I can get in
Ooh traffic jam got more cars
than a beach got sand
Suck it up, suck it up, suck it up,
fill it up until no more
I'm no crazy creep, I've got it coming
to me because I'm not satisfied
The hunger keeps on...
Hey grace, oh, night is you know a couple of hours a day for nothing
If you can hope you can hold on to your heaven
Remember it when you said once you tell
'cause what you don't know, you don't know, it gets you in trouble
Sometimes you know you don't know - find your way
But now watching over you now, I'll get you over
If you don't pretend you know what you don't know, you don't know again
I'...
We were above
You standing underneath us
We were not yet lovers
Dragons were smoked
Bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy
Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
'Cause we're tripping billies
We're wearing nothing
Nothing but out shadows
Shadows falling down on the beach sand
Remembering once,
Out on the beaches we wore
Pineapple grass bracelets
So why would you care
To get ou...
Trouble, don't you see
That in your bed I find no sleep?
I confess you came because of me
Trouble get behind me now, trouble let me be
Cold wet stone, deep river bed
Once so clean and clear now runs red
You know too well it was me that called you here
Trouble, get behind me now, trouble, let me be
Oh sweet day leave me behind
I will never call on you until the day I die
Pray your mercy shine o...
The brightest star on a cloudless night
Some kind of miracle, almost empty sky
Infact as sure as God is a monkey's dream
And ate that mushroom and believe what he sees
Trouble with you is you always wanna find the fire
Sittin' warmin' your hands by the fireside
Trouble with you is you're always lookin' way outside
Way outside
Oh, why not enjoy yourself by the fireside?
Just as the bite of the ...
when you look into a mirror
do you like what's looking at you
now that you've seen your true reflections
what on earth are you gonna do
find some inspiration
it's down deep inside of you
amend your situation
your whole life is ahead of you
your whole life is ahead of you
remember the time you hung out with the boys now
remember the things you used to say
I thought by now you'd be the president...
Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Love, you drive me to distraction
Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days cont...
Ten fingers we have each
Nine planets around the sun repeat
Eight ball is the last if you triumphant be
Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't step in line
We'll lock you away
Six ...
Everyday, everyday with you
Every little thing you do the way you do
Little darlin' in your eyes
Got me all up and away
You get me high
I saw you there, since then everyday
It's like I'm lost and thinking of you in every way
Since I fell into your eyes
All I know is that you get me high
You get me high
Like I'm gone, ooo
Oh, up and away
You take me baby
Oh, you take me baby
And then you walk t...
Hey reckless mind
Don't throw away your playful beginning
You and I let us fumble around in the touches
And be sure to
Leave all the lights on
So I can see the black cat changing colors
And walk under ladders
And travel my eyes over you
Hey we have found
Becoming one in a million Slip into the crowd
This question I found in the gap in the sidewalk
Keep all your sights on
The black cat changing...
ORIGINALLY BY PHISH
don't want to be an actor pretending on a stage,
don't want to be a writer with my thoughts out on a page,
don't want to be a painter cause everyone comes to look,
don't want to be anything when my lifes an open book,
I dream it's true,but I see it through
If I could be, wasting my time,with you
don't want to be a farmer working in the sun
don't want to be an outlaw always ...
Oh in excitement
home that we call this
we charge with an eye on the line
and we go over
oh proud and strong
we come down on babies and mothers
and leave them to die
while we plant all over
and call it home
So weep at life
and leave me pray there
but still I should call it home
native soil
has anyone stolen land
and I love it like no other
And now my grandfather say
open your charge

I was falling always
and now I'm falling this way
what will become of me?
when I'm all far away
I'm spinning down
I'm spinning up
upon this way
wondering what will become of me
when I'm all far away
I'm spinning down
I'm all away
a greater way
what will become of me
Up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin
Rip away the tears
Drink a hope for happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by
What would you say
If you a monkey on a string
If you a doggie on a chain
What would you say
I was there when the bear

[Incomprehensible]
I walk into this room, all eyes on me now
But I do not know the people inside
They look straight through me, these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than I have to give away
Realize, realize what you are
What you've become, just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
Huddled here you just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world
Live safe, say why
Don't you know if you liv...
When the world ends
Collect your things, you are comin' with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
Watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
We'll be lyin' in bed

We will rise as the buildings crumble
Float there and watch it all

Where are you going?
With your long face
Pulling down
Don't hide away
Like an ocean
That you can't see but you can smell
And the sound of the waves crash down
I am no Superman
I have no reasons for you
I am no hero
Oh, that's for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are is where I belong
I do know where you go
Is where I want to be
Where are you going?
Where do you go?
Are you looking for...
I grew from monkey into man
then I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Till I was slave and master at the same damn time
It's why i am
why i am
why i am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
Out of my head and into the womb. Hello
A king of men it makes no sense
When I bow to the priest while I worship the witch
But it's why I am

Wanna pack your bags, Something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone, gone
The moon and the stars can follow the car
and then when we get to the ocean

All the way to the end of the world
Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly

To change the world start with one step
However small the first step is hardest of all
Once you get your gait you will walk in tall
You said you never did 'cause you might die trying
'Cause you might die trying, 'cause you
If you close your eyes 'cause the house is on fire
And think you couldn't move until the fire dies
The things you never did, oh ?cause you might die trying
Because you might...
Sitting still as stone watching - watching
People walking by you wondering why
No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it ? if they ever did
What if God shuffled by?
One day we might see
Doing not a thing
Breathing just to breathe
We might find some reason
But rushing around seems what?s wrong with the world
Don?t lose the dreams inside your head
They?ll only be there til you?re dead

Before These Crowded Streets |
Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
You crush me with the things you do
I do for you anything too
Sitting smoking feeling high
In this moment it feels so right
Lovely lady
I am at your feet
God I want you so badly
I wonder this
Could tomorrow be
So wondrous as you there sleeping
Let's go drive 'till morning comes
Watch the sunrise to fill our souls up
Drink some w...
Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here
What were you expecting
Not room for both
Just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say
You feel a right to remain
Then stay and I wil...
Hey little dreamer's eyes open and staring up at me
Oh little lonely eyes open and radiant
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come I'll take your soul
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come and I won't go
Darlin' dreamin in the night
Shadows on the windows
Lead oh and everyone go
Well leave me on the night
I will give you lightning
I will not relinquish light...
Fire
The sun is well asleep
Moon is high above
Fire grows from the east
How is this
Hate so deep
Lead us all so blindly killing killing
Fools we are
If hate's the gate to peace
This is the last stop
For raining tears
War
The only way to peace
I don't fall for that
Raining tears
You're righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one...
Come and relax now
Put your troubles down
No need to bear the weight of your worries
Just let them all fall away.
Isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day
Like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away
Just thinking out loud
Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
But looking at blood
It's alive right now
Deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate moving wine to tears
Drinking it deep
Then an evening spent dancing
It's you and me
This love will open our wor...
Open wide
Oh so good I'll eat you
Take me for a ride
In your sweet delicious
Perfect little mouth
Thereupon I linger
You will have no doubt
I'll do my best for you, I do
Love
Let's stop to get it going
Lost myself just thinking
About the two of us
From each other drinking
Begin with the lips
Fingertips and kissing
Turn me inside out
I do my best for you
Up and down we go
From the top you push ...
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
On my way came up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone
From hand to hand
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
Could Dad be God
Crosses cross hung out like a wet rag
Forgive you why
You hung me out to dry
Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy

"Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree"
Below it he would sit
For hours at a time
Now progress takes away
What forever took to find
Now he's falling hard
He feels the falling dark
How he longs to be
Beneath his dreaming tree
Conquered fear to climb
A moment froze in time
When the girl who first he kissed
Promised him she'd be his
Rem...
I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Oh, reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Oh, I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Oh, I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear
Oh, Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
God knows it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if y...

Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King |
Floating in the lower nine
Waiting for a boat to throw me a line
See my Stella smile
Sitting on the roof eating alligator pie
First day the water rise
Second day the sun is high
Third day Stella cried cause night times dark as a dead man's eye's
Tell me when help is gonna come
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
Morning ride on by thank lord everybody's alright

Confess, your kiss still knocks me off my legs.
The first time I saw you was like a punch right through my chest
and I will forever, ?cause you?ll forever be
my one true broken heart, pieces inside of me8232;and you?ll forever, my baby be.
You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into...
I saw a man on the side of the road
with a sign that read 'will work for food'
Tried to look busy, 'til the light turned green
I saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning
cause their homes were turning to water
A strange, kinda sad, big old bear
surely would happily eat me
he'd tear me to pieces that bear
Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the...
Lying in the park on a beautiful day,
sunshine in the grass, and the children play.
Siren?s passing, fire engine red,
someone?s house is burning down on a day like this?
The evening comes and we?re hanging out,
On the front step, and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down,
And that war song is playing, ?why can?t we be friends??
Someone iss screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs
F...
Baby I'll be your soldier. Gladly, I'll do your bidding
Just a taste of what your holding, for just a taste you could only... me.
Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love. I'll be right here, lying in the hands of God.
Here it comes, diving in to me.
Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew why would you, cut the wings off a butterfly? Fly.
Save your sermons for someone that's...
Baby when I think about you
All I want to do
Be by your side
Take a little ride
Take a little
Baby you know I?m all about you
And all I want to do
Is take a little ride
Maybe get inside
Maybe get in
Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna take your mind
And then you?ll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you,...
The thing I like about you
Is the way you
The way that you do
The thing I like about you
God and the devil alone
Could not have made you up
The two must have worked
As one together
So good just wanna eat you up
Nothing like the real thing
Lick your sticky fingers boy
And sing for your dinner sing
Come on pretty baby
Make me lose my mind
Everybody get together
Gonna make love shine
Do you know ...
Probably get it wrong much as I get it right
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
I remember most about that night
Is I love the way you move baby
Yes I love the way you move baby
I like most liquor, but I don't like gin
Dont always like the skin I'm in
But when I get it wrong gotta start again
But I love the way you love me, baby
And I love the way you move
I love the way you move
...
Please find your place
The room grows scarce
Once we?re all inside
The service can begin
For a moment, if you please
Forget what you believe
And naked, you will see
That we are all the same
But how, your kiss
Your words, your lips
Your flesh, your bones
Exactly what you need
Why should I feel intrusion?
Why be afraid of what we do not understand?
To eliminate exclusion
Cut out the differences ...
If I'm a ticking time bomb
Waiting to blow my top
No one would ever know
Not until I blew up
No one would believe it
He was such a normal man
Shake their heads and wonder why
If Martians fell from the sky
What would that do to God?
Would we put the weapon down
Or aim it up at the sky
No one would believe it
Except the fucking nut jobs
They'd laugh and cry
"We told you so"
Baby when I get home
...
I grew from monkey into man
then I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Till I was slave and master at the same damn time
It's why i am
why i am
why i am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King
Out of my head and into the womb. Hello
A king of men it makes no sense
When I bow to the priest while I worship the witch
But it's why I am
always the...
Wanna pack your bags, Something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone, gone
The moon and the stars can follow the car
and then when we get to the ocean
We gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world
Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me tog...

And if I die

please don't forgive me if i die
and if i go

Storms she come
and storms she go

Bartender please

And then that means I fall

Story of a man,
Who decided not to breathe.
Turned red, purple, then blue.
Colorful indeed.
No matter how his friends begged,
Well, he would not concede,
And now he's dead.
You see, cause everybody knows,
You got to breathe.
But, oh God,
Under the weight of life,
Things seem brighter on the other side...
Lighter on the other side...
Another one: See this monkey sitting on a tree,
One day, deci...
Haha, look at that girl
Woman...
Not enough, never too much
The woman look just like love
Rolling stone gathers no moss
But leave a trail of busted stuff
I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I take what she's giving up
I know she's gonna leave this broken man behind her
I take what she's giving up
Sweet sugar lips push from the hips
Woman looks just like love
Without a care she ...
Crazy as I may,
Make my way through this world,
Oh, it's for no one but me to say,
What direction I should turn in now.
Cause I am the captain of this ship,
Wanting eyes and kissing lips.
The same as it was,
And will remain until I'm done and gone.
Strange, but it seems,
There's mutiny brewing inside of me now.
I don't want your pity,
Just the promise that I'll be alright.
Cause I am the capta...
I'm digging a ditch
Where madness lives
I'm digging a ditch
Where my silence lives
I'm diggin a ditch and when I am through
Digging this ditch I'll dig one for you
Digging a ditch
As black as cold
Digging a ditch
Where I can hide my soul
Digging a ditch
Where my secrets stay
Neon shines through smokey eyes tonight
It's 2 a.m. I'm drunk again
And it's heavy on my mind
I could never love again
So much as I love you
Where you end, where I begin
Is like a river running through
Take my eyes, take my heart
I need them no more
If never again I fall upon the one I so adore
Chorus
Excuse me please, one more drink
Could you make it strong
Cause I don't need to think
She bro...
Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out onto Grey St.
And she thinks...hey
How did I come to this
I dreamed myself thousand times around the world
But I can't get out of this place
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together
To grey, and it breaks her heart
Oh...
Hey, golden girl, with your hair swinging down
All of this love you have going round
What will you do when the gold turns to grey?
Have you thought now
Well, what the hay, give us some
Cover yourself with the safety of lies
You'll find it's easier 'til you face dying
Oh, sweetest smile in a confident come along
All of this longing you will done
Up and out, goes to your heart
And you will make ...
Rhymes and reasons you give
Too much is not enough
Leave what you see alone
For someone else to call
An old man calls you to tea, yeah
Sip it like you're typical
My love is what you make of it
Brothers and sisters
It's not enough, not enough
Talk, call, talking of leaving, don't worry
Would ya give anything
Oh call me lazy
Would you like to talk?
I'm no Raven to see, yeah,
Flies the blackest a...
Where are you going?
With your long face
Pulling down
Don't hide away
Like an ocean
That you can't see but you can smell
And the sound of the waves crash down
I am no Superman
I have no reasons for you
I am no hero
Oh, that's for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are is where I belong
I do know where you go
Is where I want to be
Where are you going?
Where do you go?
Are you looking for...

Crash |
You've got your ball
you've got your chain
tied to me tight tie me up again
who's got their claws
in you my friend
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you
You come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
...
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
Cry freedom cry
From a crowd 10,000 wide
Hope laid upon hope
That this crowd will not subside
Let this flag burn to dust
And a new a fair design be raised
While we wait head in hands
Hands in prayer
And fall into a dreamless sleep again
And we wave our hands
Hands an...
I hear more than I like to...
so I boil my head in a sense of humor...
I laugh at what I cannot change...
I throw it all on the pyre again...go then and do this
I'd do it for you...
when all that I want is so badly to be...
by myself again...
it's going to drive me right out of my brain
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive in drive out
I'll come back again
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive ...
I let you down
Let me pick you up
I let you down
Let me climb up you to the top
So I can see the view from up there
Tangled in your hair
I let you down
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind
I let you down, oh, forgive me
You give me love
Let me walk with you, maybe I could say
Maybe talk with you, open up
And let me through
Don't walk away

When I step into the light
My arms are open wide
When I step into the light
My eyes searching wildly
Would you not like to be
Sitting on top of the world with
your legs hanging free
Would you not like to be ok, ok, ok?
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you takin a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes
To my ankles
To my head
To my soul
And I'm blown away
W...
Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while I'm in the front
The play on time is won
But the difficulty is coming here
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I won't tell you to stay
But I'm coming to much more
Me
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
What if they came down crushing
Remember wh...
Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch,
limb to limb you see
All in a day's dream
I'm stuck
Like the other monkeys here
I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in here again
But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
Ventured away
Walking tall, head high up and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever ...
So here we are tonight,
you and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
what's on my mind
You've got me wild
turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening,
we'll share some wine, maybe we'll get high.
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, lov...
I say my hell is the closet I'm stuck inside
can't see the light
and my heaven is a nice house in the sky
I got central heating and I'm alright
yeah yeah yeah can't see the light
keep it locked up inside don't talk about it
t-t-talk about the weather
yeah yeah yeah
open up my head and let me out little baby
'Cos here we have been standing for a long long time
can't see the light
treading trodd...
Straight in, suck up and go,
cool it, swallow, swallow
Breathe deep, take it all
it comes cheap
Push it through the doors
because in between the lines
I'm gonna pack more lines
so I can get in
Ooh traffic jam got more cars
than a beach got sand
Suck it up, suck it up, suck it up,
fill it up until no more
I'm no crazy creep, I've got it coming
to me because I'm not satisfied
The hunger keeps on...
We were above
You standing underneath us
We were not yet lovers
Dragons were smoked
Bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy
Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
'Cause we're tripping billies
We're wearing nothing
Nothing but out shadows
Shadows falling down on the beach sand
Remembering once,
Out on the beaches we wore
Pineapple grass bracelets
So why would you care
To get ou...
Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Love, you drive me to distraction
Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days cont...

Everyday |
I call you up, you pick up
You call my bluff on the cards of love
You hold too close your hands to your chest
I can't read your eyes but I confess
It's lonely far from you, oh
Even when you're right by me
It's only why I wait for you
To take my hand
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
Why do I come after you like I do? I love you
Whatever you are, I swear you'll be my angel, you
I play m...
Oh, I'm choking, I'm choking
On the smoke from this burning house
I claw and I scrape
But I can't seem to get out
But who then, who is this
That's scratching from the ground?
Oh, it's my world too
But whose gold is this I'm digging out?
When we go, where we go when we're dead
Is the verdict still out? Do we get into line
To line up with those long dead now?
With the muffled tears of sorrow
Bon...
Pick me up, love
Pick me up, love
Hey, how long, how long, how long
Everyday
Everyday
Pick me up, oh, from the bottom
Up to the top, love, everyday
Pay no mind to taunts or advances
I take my chances on everyday
Left to right
Up and down, love
I push up love, love everyday
Jump in the mud, oh
Get your hands dirty with
Love it up oh everyday
All you need is
All you want is
All you need is love
...
Look at me dreaming of you
All I could hope is to have you
To have you walking with me
Laughing so in love, we two
Almost drunkenly
I did imbibe of this
Fantasy of you and me
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours?
Was I fool to think it all?
I've grown tired...
I'm mixing up a bunch of magic stuff
A magic mushroom cloud of care
A potion that'll rock, the boat will rock
I'll make a bomb of love and blow it up
I did it, do you think I've gone too far?
I did it, guilty as charged
I did it, it was me right or wrong
I did it, yeah
I never did a single thing that did a single thing
To change the ugly ways of the world
I didn't know it felt so right inside
...
Sometimes I can't move my feet it seems
As if I'm stuck in the ground somehow like a tree
As if I can't even breathe
And all my screams they come whispering out
As if nobody can even see me, like a ghost
Sometimes I can't see myself, sometimes
Then again if I were a king, if I had everything
If I had you and I could give you your dreams
If I were giant sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what...
Mother, Father, please explain to me
Why a world so full of mystery
A place so bitter and still so sweet
So beautiful and yet so full of sad, sad
Mother, Father, please explain to me
Why forests march to desert speed
While snowcapped mountains melt away
What do we tell our babies, when do we say, oh
Mother, Father, please explain to me
How a man who rocks his child to sleep
Pulls the trigger o...
I know I'll miss her later
Wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creator
To twist her arms now
She stares up at the stars when
The stars fell from her hair then
I bent down to collect them
And then she was gone
Oh, I sleep just to dream her
I beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms
Oh, I came there to find out
Find out she'd mad...
Roll out down to midnight
Then roll on downtown till it's light
Because tomorrow, we may die
Oh, but tonight we're dancing in the faint light
Don't you rob yourself of what you're feeling
Don't rob yourself of all that you could be
Roll hard till midnight
Roll till it's light, come on now
Stay up and make some memories
Yeah, with us now
Roll the red carpet out with friends
To whom, to love and...
You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love
The space between the tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like, will it rain today?
Waste the hours with t...
[Incomprehensible]
I walk into this room, all eyes on me now
But I do not know the people inside
They look straight through me, these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than I have to give away
Realize, realize what you are
What you've become, just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
Huddled here you just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world
Live safe, say why
Don't you know if you liv...
When the world ends
Collect your things, you are comin' with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
Watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
We'll be lyin' in bed
I'ma rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the buildings crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burnin', we'll be churnin'
You know love will be our wings

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed beneath the Town Hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else, then you won't h...
Share the time again
I spend with you
A friend is always good to have
But a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down at me
I dream of you at times when you're by my side
Dream you're not just like you are
So troubled and doubling my pain
Just one more tear
You shed for me
I wish I could climb inside your mind
And spend some time and hug and hold you
And mold you into what I'd like
But n...
Come and relax now
Put your troubles down
No need to bear the weight of your worries
Just let them all fall away.
I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Oh, reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Oh, I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Oh, I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear
Oh, Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
God knows it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if y...
when you look into a mirror
do you like what's looking at you
now that you've seen your true reflections
what on earth are you gonna do
find some inspiration
it's down deep inside of you
amend your situation
your whole life is ahead of you
your whole life is ahead of you
remember the time you hung out with the boys now
remember the things you used to say
I thought by now you'd be the president...

Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock

Lost for you I'm so lost for you

Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so

Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here
What were you expecting
Not room for both
Just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home

You feel a right to remain
Then stay and I wil...
Fire
The sun is well asleep
Moon is high above
Fire grows from the east
How is this
Hate so deep
Lead us all so blindly killing killing
Fools we are
If hate's the gate to peace
This is the last stop
For raining tears
War
The only way to peace
I don't fall for that
Raining tears
You're righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one...
When I step into the light
My arms are open wide
When I step into the light
My eyes searching wildly
Would you not like to be
Sitting on top of the world with

Would you not like to be ok, ok, ok?
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you takin a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes
To my ankles
To my head
To my soul
And I'm blown away
W...
Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while I'm in the front
The play on time is won
But the difficulty is coming here
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I won't tell you to stay
But I'm coming to much more
Me
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
What if they came down crushing
Remember wh...
Open wide
Oh so good I'll eat you
Take me for a ride
In your sweet delicious
Perfect little mouth
Thereupon I linger
You will have no doubt
I'll do my best for you, I do
Love
Let's stop to get it going
Lost myself just thinking
About the two of us
From each other drinking
Begin with the lips
Fingertips and kissing
Turn me inside out
I do my best for you
Up and down we go
From the top you push ...
I say my hell is the closet I'm stuck inside
can't see the light
and my heaven is a nice house in the sky
I got central heating and I'm alright
yeah yeah yeah can't see the light
keep it locked up inside don't talk about it
t-t-talk about the weather
yeah yeah yeah
open up my head and let me out little baby
'Cos here we have been standing for a long long time
can't see the light
treading trodd...
We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
You could fry an egg
Remember you were talking
I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertip
Wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
Little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay stay stay stay for awhile
Later on
The sun began to fade
The...
Straight in, suck up and go,
cool it, swallow, swallow
Breathe deep, take it all
it comes cheap
Push it through the doors
because in between the lines
I'm gonna pack more lines
so I can get in
Ooh traffic jam got more cars
than a beach got sand
Suck it up, suck it up, suck it up,
fill it up until no more
I'm no crazy creep, I've got it coming
to me because I'm not satisfied
The hunger keeps on...

Recently Live |
There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men they drink my wine
And the plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is no...
Hey little dreamer's eyes open and staring up at me
Oh little lonely eyes open and radiant
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come I'll take your soul
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come and I won't go
Darlin' dreamin in the night
Shadows on the windows
Lead oh and everyone go
Well leave me on the night
I will give you lightning
I will not relinquish light...

Remember Two Things Live |
She was his girl;
He was her boyfriend.
She be his wife;
Make him her husband
A surprise on the way,
Any day, any day
One healthy little, giggling,
Dribbling baby boy.
The wise men came
Three made their way.
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay.
Shower him with love
Love love
Love love love
Love love is all around.
Not very much of his childhood was known,
Kept his mother Mary worri...
I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
but I know
the touch of you is so hard to remember
but like that touch I know no other
and for sure we have danced
in the risk of each other
would like to dance
around the world with me
I'll be falling all about my own thing
and I know your the heaviest weight
when your not here that's hung
around my head
and your lips burn...
Santa Maria choose your children
Santa Maria virgin child
all our wars over you we are fighting
and all our time faith justifying
Brother caged Babylon will fall
Sister chained and bound, beaten and bleeding
The tv's on, to me this explains it
Wearing a tie like daddy speaks it
Screaming from the minarets
Later on we'll all be dancing
Screaming from the minarets
Yes indeed i'm making faces
Rai...
Nine planets round the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much we take for granted
So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
If green should slip to grey
But our hearts still bloody be
And if mountains crumble away
And the river dry Would it stop the stepping feet
Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury...
Recently I've been
All of content and dreaming I have been
'Cause I been lately seeing
Quite a bit of this woman live on my street
People stare and we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away
She comes to me
I watch her drink
I watch her comb her hair
Both say that we never before have
Felt as recently
People stare and we just ignore
What's the use ...
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we think what we see
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round
About this merry-go-ro...
And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again
Would you like to play
With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage
While you lie around
With your hands up and out
So resigned you will fall down
While you around here play
Wild on the warm and far away
While you around here play
The days keep scribbling themselves
In tidy li...
We were above
You standing underneath us
We were not yet lovers
Dragons were smoked
Bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy
Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
'Cause we're tripping billies
We're wearing nothing
Nothing but out shadows
Shadows falling down on the beach sand
Remembering once,
Out on the beaches we wore
Pineapple grass bracelets
So why would you care
To get ou...

Maybe different but remember winters warm there you and I.
Kissing whiskey by the fire with the snow outside.
And when the summer comes
in the river swim at midnight shiver, cold touch the bottom
stars are bright with muddy toes
Stay or leave--I want you not to go,
but you should.
It was good, as good goes.
Stay or leave--I want you not to go.
But you did.
Wake up naked, drinking coffee, makin...

Stand Up |
If these walls came crumbling down
You fell so hard to make us lose our faith
From what's left you'd figure it out
Still make lemonade taste like a sunny day
Stay beautiful baby
I hope you stay American baby
American baby
Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time I could see you smile
I, I hold hold on to you
You brin...
She said a hundred times
She said a thousand times
And oh, she said
I would dig a hole all the way to China
Unless of course I was there then I'd dig my way home
If by diggin' I could steal the wind from the sails
Of the greedy men who ruled the world
Still you're my best friend
And after a good, good drunk
You and me wake up and make love after a deep sleep
Where I was dreamin', I was dreamin'
Of a dreamgirl, a dreamgirl, a dreamgirl, dreamgirl
I was feelin' ...
Everybody wake up
If you're living with your eyes closed
See the man with the bomb in his hand
Everybody wake up
Oh, baby it's not easy sometimes
But build these walls ever higher and hide behind them
Seems an odd way to try and make things right
Oh, I feel like I'm crazy sometimes
Our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
The believers stand behind him and smile
Everybody...
She was my one and only
She was my girl, she love me always
She was mine and I was a fool, I was a fool and now, she's gone
Sitting here I've done my share of this, still I hope the lord forgive me my sin
Ten years ago down by the lake, I sunk my sweet love a watery grave
Well I close my eyes and still see her face, I'd give my soul to take back that day
Hello again its been too long, too long...
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Here you go, you dirty girl
Good God, try to love, try to, oh
God's love is alive inside you
You know who needs you
I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind
It's my aim to kill you
My aim to love you
You and I are such a pretty thing
Smile, smile...
No no, momma now devil don't do-si-do
Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road
And the coins in their eyes represent the money they owe
No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told
Down by the bayou
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Say my story again-you
Louisiana
Down by the bayou
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Tryin' to play with the caine-yo...
Bring that beat back to me again
Take me back, take me back, can't catch me, can't catch me
Bring that beat back to me again
Take me back, take me back, can't catch me, can't catch me
Ride my bike down the old dirt hill
First time without my trainin' wheels
First time I kissed you I lost my legs
Bring that beat back to me again
Scream and shout out loud our innocence
And days when all we did w...
On the window ledge
I don't feel safe
Stay looking down on you
It's out of my hands for now
It's out of my hands for now
I can't just walk away
It'd be nice to walk away
But I don't feel safe
Get away, all the way up here
It's out of my hands for now
It's out of my hands for now
Oh, it is down from here
Down from here
I start to feel insane, betrayed
Out on my window ledge
And now our finest h...
Hungry
Last night, no way I was gonna be left hungry
And then your daddy caught me sneakin' out your bed
It's just a game I play, it's just I roll that way
Don't think sweet baby I'm messin' with your head
I'm a smooth rider baby
You know I just keep movin' on
I don't know why I like to carry on the way I do
It's just that I'm in love with you
If you see me out there runnin'
And you hear the s...
[Incomprehensible]
Get up y'all
Yeah
Stand up Stand up
Stand up Stand up
Stand up
I woke up to the angels singin' in my head
You looked so good naked next to me, the angel in my bed
Stand up Stand up
Stand up Stand up
I feel like a drug is cookin' in my veins
I'm so out of my mind, I'll shoot you up again
Stand up Stand up
Stand up Stand up
Water save my soul
Stand up
I feel like smoke and fir...
I walk half way around the world
Just to sit down by your side
And I would do most anything girl
To be the apple of your eye
But troubles they may come and go
But good times they're the gold
And if this road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
Any place you wanna go
Know I'll be next to you
If it's treasure, baby, you're looking for
I'll search the whole world through
Know troubles they may c...
Hello again
Seem like forever between now and then
You look the same
I mean you look different but you haven't changed
Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you laughin' and I was afraid
That I'd get in the way
I did not think I would see you again
So how have you been?
Do yo...
To change the world start with one step
However small the first step is hardest of all
Once you get your gait you will walk in tall
You said you never did 'cause you might die trying
'Cause you might die trying, 'cause you
If you close your eyes 'cause the house is on fire
And think you couldn't move until the fire dies
The things you never did, oh ?cause you might die trying
Because you might...

Under The Table And Dreaming |
He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper
take these chances
place them in a box until a quiter time
lights down, you up and die
Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concern...
Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in Bel Air
Could I have been Lost somewhere in Paris
Could I have been
Your little brother
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone
He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet ...
Lately I've been feeling low
A remedy is what I'm seeking
Take a taste of what's below
Come away to something better
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say...
If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you
Take a ...
Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me oh won't you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth
Don't be us too shy
Knowing it's no big surprise
That I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you
Look please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down
Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hand your hands
So much we hav...
Oh, my head lay back on the seating
Been so tired, throw away my surrounding
Like the sun and moon take for granted
Soon we move through the flood and we fade away
Lie about it,
Cry about it,
We'll be ok
Lean upon me,
I'll lean upon you,
We'll be okay
Oh, I lay myself at your feet laughing
Hope mine eye made of the soul choir
Lean upon me,
I'll lean upon you,
We'll be okay
Lie about it,
Cry ab...
Work ourselves, fingers to the bone
Suck the marrow, drain my soul
Pay your dues, and your debts
Pay your respect, everybody tells you
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Has she really lost her mind?
I said, I couldn't tell you
I've lost mine
Words, words, words, have you heard
A bird in hand is much better than,
Any number free to wander
Fly aw...
Oh well oh well so here we stand
But we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
How can I turn to it
'Cause I'm all locked up in this
Dark place - and I do not know
I'm good as dead
My head aches - warped and tied up
I need to kill this pain
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it w...
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder.
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping tom for the mother station
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Satellite, headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish ...
Ten fingers we have each
Nine planets around the sun repeat
Eight ball is the last if you triumphant be
Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't step in line
We'll lock you away
Six ...
Hey reckless mind
Don't throw away your playful beginning
You and I let us fumble around in the touches
And be sure to
Leave all the lights on
So I can see the black cat changing colors
And walk under ladders
And travel my eyes over you
Hey we have found
Becoming one in a million Slip into the crowd
This question I found in the gap in the sidewalk
Keep all your sights on
The black cat changing...
Up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin
Rip away the tears
Drink a hope for happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by
What would you say
If you a monkey on a string
If you a doggie on a chain
What would you say
I was there when the bear
Ate his head, th...
