She said to me...over the phone...
she wanted to see other people.
I thought:
"Well then...look around. They're everywhere."
Said that she was confused...
I thought:
"Darlin', join the club."
24 years old, mid-life crisis...
nowadays hits you when you're young.
I hung up...she called back...I hung up again...
the process had already started...
at least it happened quick.
I swear...I died...inside...that night.
A friend he called...I didn't mention a thing...
the last thing he said was:
"Be sound."
Sound.
I contemplated an awful thing...I hate to admit...
I just thought those would be such appropriate last words.
But I'm still here.
And small.
So small...how could this struggle seem so big?
So big.
While the palms in the breeze still blow green...
and the waves in the sea still absolute blue...
but the horror...
every single thing I see is a reminder of her.
Never thought I'd curse the day I met her...
and since she's gone, and wouldn't hear...
who would care?
What good would that do?
But I'm still here.
So I imagine in a month...or 12...
I'll be somewhere having a drink...
laughing at a stupid joke, or just another stupid thing.
And I can see myself stopping short...
drifting out of the present...
sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep.
And there I am standing...
wet grass and white headstones, all in rows.
And in the distance there's one...
off on its own.
So I stop...kneel...
"my new home."
And I picture a sober awakening...
a re-entry into this little bar scene.
Sip my drink 'til the ice hits my lip...
order another round.
And that's it for now.
Sorry.
Never been too good at happy endings.
woooh
state of love and trust as i busted down the pretext
sin still plays and preaches but to have an empty court, uh huh
and the signs are passing...grip the wheel can't read it
sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands...hands
and i listen for the voice inside my head, nothing, i'll do this one myself
lay her down as priest does...should the lord be a-counting?
will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully clear, uh huh
promises are whispered in the age of darkness
want to be enlightened like i want to be told the end...end
and the barrel shakes aimed a-directly at my head
oh help me, help me from myself
and i listen for the voice inside my head, nothing, i'll do this one myself
myself, myself...
yeah yeah
hey, na na na na hey that's something
hey, na na na na hey that's something
hey, na na na na hey that's something
want it back, back to away, yeah huh uh
and i listen oh for the voice inside my head, nothing, i'll do this one myself
and the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head
won't you help me? help me from myself...
state of love and trust and a...
state of love and trust and a...
state of love and trust and a...
state of love and...
Sometimes we whisper far away
But something always makes me stay
It's far too strong a bond
To try and break
You know exactly where you've been
A shooting star is hardly seen.
Thrillology by Powderfinger
"She once believed in every story he had to tell" - Nothingman
Ah, soon she will wake
When love is in the air she breathes
Hurry into her please
A light again
And take what we reap
A harvest abounding
The trumpets are sounding
A beautiful name
From shadowlands we run
A flicker and they're done
Away
And the wine that she keeps
Saving the best for me
We're only blessed you see
If we believed
In something unseen
Felt by remembering
A wait, and a hoping in
The time to receive
From shadowlands we run
A flicker and they're done
Away
The mountains will rock
And crumble into the sea
And all of the saints will be
Marching home
The cities will stop
Oh, and they'll sell their kings
Oh, and they'll kill their queens
Oh no
From shadowlands we run
A flicker and they're done
Away
Shadowlands - Big Head Todd and the Monsters
The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me
You can hide `neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
Thunder Road
Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
>From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win.
"I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."
Stay tonight,
Let me hold you like I never did before.
Take my arms,
And let me hold you like I never did before.
And I should have tried just to talk about this,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know that I'm,
Still here,
So before you let me go...
Take my hands,
Let me touch you like I never did before.
Take my heart and let me love you,
Like I never did before,
Like I never did before.
And I should have tried just to talk about it,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know,
That I'm still here.
But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
And we see ourselves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So before you let me go.
Before you let me go.....
Save the dance and let me spin you,
Till your world is turning round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
Save the chance and let me show you,
Just like you need a little more,
Just like you need a little more.
And I should have tried just to talk about it,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know,
That I'm still here.
But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
Until we see oursleves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So much harder than before.
So before you let me go...
Before you let me go...
But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
Until we see oursleves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So much harder than before.
But we wast it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
And now we bruise with every step.
When we're closing every door.
Can we make it easier.
Some time?
Some time...
How does he do it?
How do they do it?
Uncanny and immutable...
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party...
Like sugar, the guests are so refined.
A confidence man, but why so beleaguered?
He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer!
Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike...
Drilling for fear makes the job simple.
Born on third, thinks he got a triple...
Blackout weaves it's way through the city...
A think tank of aloof multiplication,
A nicotine wish and a Columbus decanter...
The aristocrat choir sings..."What's the ruckus?"
The haves have not a fucking clue.
The immenseness of suffering,
And the odd re-negotiation...
A rarity...with onionskin plausibility of life...
And a keyboard reaffirmation.
Blackout weaves its way through the cities...
I remember when you sang that song about TODAY...
Now it's TOMORROW...
And EVERYTHING has changed.
Well you're in a little room
and You're working on something good
but if it's really good
you're gonna need a bigger room
and when you're in the bigger room
you might not know what to do
you might have to think of
how you got started
sitting in your little room
da da da da da da da da.......
If your havin girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
[Verse One]
I got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure my casket's closed
Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
I'm from the hood stupid what type of facts are those
If you grew up with O's and you zap the toes
You'd celebrate the minute you was havin doe
I'm like fuck critics you can kiss my whole asshole
If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward
Got beef with radio if i don't play they show
They don't play my hits well i don't give a shit SO
Rap mags try and use my black ass
So advertisers can give em more cash for ads...fuckers
I don't know what you take me as
or understand the intellegence that Jay-Z has
I'm from rags to ritches nigga i ain't dumb
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
[Chorus]
99 Problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
[Verse Two]
The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother fuckin law
I got two choices yall pull over the car or
Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor
Now i ain't tryin to see no highway chase with jake
Plus i got a few dollars i can fight the case
So i...pull over to the side of the road
And i heard "Son do you know why i'm stoppin you for?"
Cause i'm young and i'm black and my hats real low
Do i look like a mind reader sir, i don't know
Am i under arrest or should i guess some mo?
"Well you was doin fifty five in a fifty four"
"Liscense and regestration and step out of the car"
"Are you carryin a weapon on you i know alot of you are"
I ain't steppin out of shit all my papers legit
"Do you mind if i look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And i know my rights so you gon' need a warrent for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack are some type of lawyer or something?"
"Or somebody important or somethin?"
Nah i ain't pass the bar but i know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
"Well see how smart you are when the K-9's come"
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
[Chorus X2]
[Verse Three]
Now once upon a time not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of havin a pussy
But a pussy havin no God Damn sense, try and push me
I tried to inore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him, cause some fools just love to perform
You know the type loud as a motor bike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that's gonna happen is i'mma get to clappin
He and his boys gon be yappin to the captain
And there i go traped in the kit kat again
Back through the system with the riff raff again
Fiends on the floor scratchin again
Paparatzi's with they cameras snappin them
D.A. tred to give the nigga the shaft again
Half-a-mil for bail cause i'm African
All because ths fool was horrasin them
Tryin to play the boy like hes saccarin
But ain't nothin sweet 'bout how i hold my gun
I got 99 problems but this bitch ain't one
Hit me
sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...
Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.
Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.
"I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."
watching terrible tv
it kills all thought
getting spacier than
an astronaut
making out with people
i hardly know or like
i can’t believe what i do
late at night
i wanna know what it’s like
on the inside of love
i’m standing at the gates
i see the beauty above
only when we get to see
the aerial view
will the patterns show
we’ll know what to do
i know the last page so well
i can’t see the first
so i just don’t start
it’s getting worse
(chorus)
i can’t find my way in
i try again and again
i’m on the outside of love
always under or above
must be a different view
to be a me with a you
of course i’ll be alright
i just had a bad night
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her
She's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know why it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know what it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know why it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a way of showin'
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'
She's got a light around her
And everywhere she goes
A million dreams of love surround her everywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me
I get turned around
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her anyway
It's a beautiful night for feeling lonely
A beautiful night for being afraid
So raise your hands, you one and only's
You one-of-a-kinds who feel this way
I don't want to talk, don't want to explain it
I don't want to fuck and I don't want to fight
It's only a feeling, it's fleet and fading
It's all over the world, and it's only tonight
Cause it's a beautiful night, beautiful night, yeah
Beautiful night, beautiful night to be here
It's a perfect time for being wasted
A perfect time to watch the stars
So throw back your head
Come on, embrace it
It's a beautiful night, wherever you are
It's a beautiful night
Beautiful night, yeah
Beautiful night
Beautiful night to be here
All good things will come to you
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight it's the truth
I don't know
All good things to those who dream
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight we'll find peace
God I hope so
So raise your hands, raise your hands...
All good friends, they stood by you
And one at a time, one at a time they fell down
They fall down
All your fears are coming true and
This is the time, this is the time of your life
That defines you
So raise your hands, raise your hands...
Under the stars I'm alone among strangers
Confused, connected, diffused and alive
Maybe the future will smile on us
Maybe the future is here tonight
Cause it's a beautiful night, beautiful night, yeah
Beautiful night, beautiful night to be here
Roll a gasper
The guard said he could stay alive
But he has to shovel
And burn his people to die - even if you die
And the gate read:
Arbeit Macht Frei
In her rollers
And a gasper
Cleaning the steps in a mean street
Where no policeman walks the beat
Her old man
He don't like blacks or queers
Yet he's proud he bet the nazis?
How queer....
I don't have to sell my soul, he's already in me
If you've lost your faith in love and music the end won't be long
i'm falling harder than i've ever fell before
i'm fallin faster, hoping i'll land in your arms
cause all my time is spent here
longing to belong to you
i dream of circles perfect, eyes within your face
my heart's an open wound that only you replace
and though the moon is rising, can't put your picture down
love, it's a frightning way to fall
and when the time is right, i hope that you'll respond
like when the wind gets tired and the ocean becomes calm
i may be dreaming but i'm longing to belong to you
i don't know if anyone will understand this... but thats my lyrics...
O céu está nublado
e a chuva molha todos os gados
que de repente ficam preocupados
com o som que a terra está fazendo
estremecendo, tremendo
terremoto. não. A Guerra
Um mar de pessoas de um lado
apavorando ainda mais os gados
que fogem todos assustados
ao som dos tambores e passadas
e os gritos excitados
sentindo o aproximar da morte
Durante a fuga dos gados
aparece exercito do outro lado
deixando-os encurralados
e totalmente apavorados
ao som dos tambores e passadas
com medo de ser mais uma caçada
Ambos exercitos estão agora parados
deixando os gados acalmados
e o silêncio está agora no ar
deixando a duvida do que acontecerá
medo de um lado, ódio do outro
e a batalha está pra começar
a infantaria na linha de frente
com a duvida pairando a mente
os arqueiros vem logo atrás
e a cavalaria logo em seguida
com todas suas as espadas erguidas
querendo saber o que vai acontecer com suas vidas
A cena está inerte
e de repente a situação se inverte
quando toda infantaria avança
diminuindo a esperança
sendo acompanhada pela cavalaria
começando então toda a matança
em questão de segundos
não haviam mais lados
desaparecendo assim todos os gados
transformando tudo em um único aglomerado
onde a única coisa em mente era a morte
e sobreviveria somente quem tivesse mais sorte
O aglomerado de pessoas aumentava
na proporção das tropas que chegavam
deixando a batalha mais balanceada
enquanto o número de mortes só aumentava
e a esperança só despencava
e o medo só desparava
todas as tropas já estavam então cansadas
porém, as mortes só aumentavam
de acordo com as horas que passavam
25.000 mortes foram contadas
vidas perdidas e desperdiçadas
em vez dessas vidas serem aproveitadas
Mais de 6 horas de luta
os contingentes das tropas diminuiam
enquanto a esperança de vitoria pra um dos lados decaía
a de derrota para o outro subia
e o por do sol ja aparecia
trazendo toda a escuridão para o dia
A lua já aparece no céu
e na terra pessoas se matam por obrigação
sem nenhum bom sentimento no coração
se matando por nenhuma razão
e para a guerra agente precisa dizer não
e deixar de agir apenas por obrigação
Você deve ser perguntar
qual dos lados deve ganhar
e eu lhe digo que ninguem deve vencer
com a guerra agente só tem a perder
e a morte e o ódio aumentar
deixemos o amor nos controlar
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing
I can't touch the clouds for you, I never reached the sun for you.
I've never done the things that you need done for you.
I've stretched as high as I can reach. I guess I'm not the one for you.
'Cause I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun for you.
No, I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun.
I can't look inside your mind and see the things you're hopin' for.
I can't help you chase the dream you're gropin' for.
You say your arms are open wide,
But Lord knows who they're open for.
I can't know your mind or chase your dreams with you.
I can't chase your dreams or know your mind.
I hope you find somebody who can do the things I didn't do.
Find the road I didn't find, and build a better world for you.
I hope you find somebody bold enough to reach and take ahold
And guide your ever-changin' mind and free your ever-risin' soul.
But I can't...I can't .
I can't turn back time for you and make you sweet sixteen again.
I can't turn your barren fields to green again.
And I can't sit around and talk about what might have been again.
I can't turn back time and make you young again.
I can't turn back time and make you young.
So say goodbye and don't look back, I've had some happy days with you.
Sorry I can't be the one who stays with you.
And if they ask about me, you can say I was the one with you.
Who never touched the clouds or reached the sun with you.
I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun.
This year's love had better last,
heaven knows it's high time,
I've been waiting on my own too long.
And when you hold me like you do
it feels so right
oh now
I start to forget how my heart gets torn
when the hurt gets thrown
feeling like you can't go on
Turning circles and time again
cut like a knife
oh now
if you love me gotta know for sure
'cause it takes something more this time
than sweet sweet lies
oh now
before I open up my arms and fall
losing all control
every dream inside my soul
when you kiss me on that midnight street
sweep me off my feet
singing ain't this life so sweet
This year's love it better last
This year's love it better last
'Cause who's to worry if our hearts get torn
when that hurt get thrown
don't you know this life goes on
won't you kiss me on that midnight street
sweep me off my feet
singing ain't this life so sweet
Sick and tired of this world
There's no more air
Trippin' over myself
Goin' nowhere
Waiting
Suffocating
No direction
And I took a dive
And on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you
I've been wondering why
It's only me
Have you always been inside
Waiting to breathe
It's alright
Sunlight
On my face
I wake up and yeah, I'm alive
'cause on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you
I was so afraid
Of going under
But now
The weight of the world
Feels like nothing, no, nothing
Down, down, down
You're all I wanted
Down, down, down
You're all I needed
Down, down, down
You're all I wanted
You're all I needed
And I won't forget the way you loved me
All that I wanted
All that I needed
On the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you
Down, down, down
But I held onto you
Down, down, down
But I held onto you
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
CHORUS
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget
it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
CHORUS
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord ,oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord ,oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
I can fell it in the air tonight, oh lord
I had a dream the other night
You were in a bar in the corner on a chair
Wearing a long white leather coat
Purple glasses and glitter in your hair
And you said hey this is where I'm gonna sit
And buy you a drink someday
You were going to the dog shows
But you kinda lost your way
You say now I got all this room
And no money to decorate it, so some
Local customer put me in touch with the man
Upstairs, he said little man you got no
Business gettin' frustrated, you gotta rest
You gotta rest you gotta reach down
And pick the crowd up
Carry back in your hands
To the promised land
Now I had some angel shine my wings, she said
Nothin' but the best for the golden boy
She made me promise not to tell I had her under
A spell singing golden words in a broken voice
And I caught some blessing on the wind I'm
Feeling lighter than a whisper from a dove
I've got no hands to tie behind my back
And I'm sparking like a heart attack, now I've got
Room to spread my wings and my messages of
Love, yes love was my drug, but that's not
What I died of, so don't think of me
Crying louder than some billion dollar baby
Cause I gotta rest I gotta rest I gotta
Reach down and pick the
Crowd up, carry back in my
Hand to the promised land
How to be happy and true....
Is the quest we're taking together...
you saved my heart
you dont even know me
you saved my dream
you heard me scream
(woah)
my lost soul was saved by a stranger
who saved my life
you saved my life
why did you do it
what made you stop and turn around
do you even know the reason
why you had to help me out
just when i knew it
it was my time to sink or swim
you came along and pulled me out
of all the trouble i was in
why did you do it
why did you risk your life for mine
who'd have done the same for you
who'd have saved you just in time
you saved my heart
you dont even know me
you saved my dream
you heard me scream
(oh)

where did u come from

that i was hanging by a thread
by this very time tomorrow
they will leave me here for dead

why did u risk your life for mine
who'd have done the same for you
who'd have saved you just in time

my lost soul was saved my a stranger

I don't know what's going on
I am so up close to you
I don't know what's going on...
I don't know what's going on
I am so confused by you
I don't know what's going on
Don't say anymore
To me at all
To me at all
Don't say more
To me at all
To me at all
I am so in love with you
With you
With you
I am so in love with you
With you
With you...
I don't know what's going on
I am so in deep with you
I don't know what's going on...
I don't know what's going on
I am so disturbed by you
I don't know whats going on
Don't say anymore
To me at all
To me at all
Don't say more
To me at all
To me at all
I am so in love with...
You.
This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home
With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25
This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time
You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words
What have I done?
It's too late for that
What have I become?
Truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask...this time.
here's a token of my open-ness
of my need to not disappear
how i'm feeling, so revealing to me
i found my mind too clear
i just need someone to be there for.. me
i just want someone to be there for.. me
all the static in my attic-a
shoots down my sciatic nerve
to the ocean of my platitudes
longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
i just need someone to be there for..
i just want someone to be there for..
someone to be there for me
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
ooh, let's call in an angel
ooh, let's call in an angel
ooh, let's call in an angel
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way, no way
let's call in an angel
who's calling an angel?
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
It was familiar to me, the smoke too thick to breathe.
The tile floors glistened; I slowly stirred my drink.
And when you started to sing, you spoke with broken speech
That I could not understand, and then you grabbed me tightly.
I won't let go, I won't let go. Even if you say so, oh no.
I've tried and tried with no results. I won't let go, I won't let go.
He then played every song from nineteen ninety three.
The crowd applauded as he curtsied bashfully.
Your eyelashes tickled my neck with every nervous blink,
And it was perfect until the telephone started
Ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off...
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
a melody always finds me
whenever the thought reminds me
a pulse and a chain inside my head
a melody chord unwinds me
a rhythm of life unties me
bustlin a silent time away
if you look with your mind
do you know what you will find?
open your mind...
even the words they fail me
oh quite but still they fill me
i never say what I want to say
it's only a word believe me
if only the world could see me
i have a silent word to him...
if you look with your eyes
do you know what you will find?
open your mind...
the melody always finds me
whenever the thought reminds me
breaking a chain inside my head
a melody chord unwinds me
a rhythm of life unties me
burning a silent time away
if you look with your mind
do you know what you will find?
open your mind...
open your mind...
open your mind
"I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."

she wanted to see other people.
I thought:
"Well then...look around. They're everywhere."
Said that she was confused...
I thought:
"Darlin', join the club."
24 years old, mid-life crisis...
nowadays hits you when you're young.
I hung up...she called back...I hung up again...
the process had already started...
at least it happened quick.
I swear...I died...inside...that night.
A friend he called...I didn't mention a thing...
the last thing he said was:
"Be sound."
Sound.
I contemplated an awful thing...I hate to admit...
I just thought those would be such appropriate last words.
But I'm still here.
And small.
So small...how could this struggle seem so big?
So big.
While the palms in the breeze still blow green...
and the waves in the sea still absolute blue...
but the horror...
every single thing I see is a reminder of her.
Never thought I'd curse the day I met her...
and since she's gone, and wouldn't hear...
who would care?
What good would that do?
But I'm still here.
So I imagine in a month...or 12...
I'll be somewhere having a drink...
laughing at a stupid joke, or just another stupid thing.
And I can see myself stopping short...
drifting out of the present...
sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep.
And there I am standing...
wet grass and white headstones, all in rows.
And in the distance there's one...
off on its own.
So I stop...kneel...
"my new home."
And I picture a sober awakening...
a re-entry into this little bar scene.
Sip my drink 'til the ice hits my lip...
order another round.
And that's it for now.
Sorry.
Never been too good at happy endings.

But something always makes me stay
It's far too strong a bond
To try and break
You know exactly where you've been
A shooting star is hardly seen.
Thrillology by Powderfinger
When love is in the air she breathes
Hurry into her please
A light again
And take what we reap
A harvest abounding
The trumpets are sounding
A beautiful name
From shadowlands we run
A flicker and they're done
Away
And the wine that she keeps
Saving the best for me
We're only blessed you see
If we believed
In something unseen
Felt by remembering
A wait, and a hoping in
The time to receive
From shadowlands we run
A flicker and they're done
Away
The mountains will rock
And crumble into the sea
And all of the saints will be
Marching home
The cities will stop
Oh, and they'll sell their kings
Oh, and they'll kill their queens
Oh no
From shadowlands we run
A flicker and they're done
Away
Shadowlands - Big Head Todd and the Monsters
The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me
You can hide `neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
Thunder Road
Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
>From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win.
Let me hold you like I never did before.
Take my arms,
And let me hold you like I never did before.
And I should have tried just to talk about this,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know that I'm,
Still here,
So before you let me go...
Take my hands,
Let me touch you like I never did before.
Take my heart and let me love you,
Like I never did before,
Like I never did before.
And I should have tried just to talk about it,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know,
That I'm still here.
But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
And we see ourselves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So before you let me go.
Before you let me go.....
Save the dance and let me spin you,
Till your world is turning round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
Save the chance and let me show you,
Just like you need a little more,
Just like you need a little more.
And I should have tried just to talk about it,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know,
That I'm still here.
But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
Until we see oursleves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So much harder than before.
So before you let me go...
Before you let me go...
But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
Until we see oursleves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So much harder than before.
But we wast it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
And now we bruise with every step.
When we're closing every door.
Can we make it easier.
Some time?
Some time...
Jason
How do they do it?
Uncanny and immutable...
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party...
Like sugar, the guests are so refined.
A confidence man, but why so beleaguered?
He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer!
Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike...
Drilling for fear makes the job simple.
Born on third, thinks he got a triple...
Blackout weaves it's way through the city...
A think tank of aloof multiplication,
A nicotine wish and a Columbus decanter...
The aristocrat choir sings..."What's the ruckus?"
The haves have not a fucking clue.
The immenseness of suffering,
And the odd re-negotiation...
A rarity...with onionskin plausibility of life...
And a keyboard reaffirmation.
Blackout weaves its way through the cities...
I remember when you sang that song about TODAY...
Now it's TOMORROW...
And EVERYTHING has changed.

and You're working on something good
but if it's really good
you're gonna need a bigger room
and when you're in the bigger room
you might not know what to do
you might have to think of
how you got started
sitting in your little room
da da da da da da da da.......
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
[Verse One]
I got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure my casket's closed
Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
I'm from the hood stupid what type of facts are those
If you grew up with O's and you zap the toes
You'd celebrate the minute you was havin doe
I'm like fuck critics you can kiss my whole asshole
If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward
Got beef with radio if i don't play they show
They don't play my hits well i don't give a shit SO
Rap mags try and use my black ass
So advertisers can give em more cash for ads...fuckers
I don't know what you take me as
or understand the intellegence that Jay-Z has
I'm from rags to ritches nigga i ain't dumb
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
[Chorus]
99 Problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
[Verse Two]
The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother fuckin law
I got two choices yall pull over the car or
Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor
Now i ain't tryin to see no highway chase with jake
Plus i got a few dollars i can fight the case
So i...pull over to the side of the road
And i heard "Son do you know why i'm stoppin you for?"
Cause i'm young and i'm black and my hats real low
Do i look like a mind reader sir, i don't know
Am i under arrest or should i guess some mo?
"Well you was doin fifty five in a fifty four"
"Liscense and regestration and step out of the car"
"Are you carryin a weapon on you i know alot of you are"
I ain't steppin out of shit all my papers legit
"Do you mind if i look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And i know my rights so you gon' need a warrent for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack are some type of lawyer or something?"
"Or somebody important or somethin?"
Nah i ain't pass the bar but i know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
"Well see how smart you are when the K-9's come"
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
[Chorus X2]
[Verse Three]
Now once upon a time not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of havin a pussy
But a pussy havin no God Damn sense, try and push me
I tried to inore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him, cause some fools just love to perform
You know the type loud as a motor bike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that's gonna happen is i'mma get to clappin
He and his boys gon be yappin to the captain
And there i go traped in the kit kat again
Back through the system with the riff raff again
Fiends on the floor scratchin again
Paparatzi's with they cameras snappin them
D.A. tred to give the nigga the shaft again
Half-a-mil for bail cause i'm African
All because ths fool was horrasin them
Tryin to play the boy like hes saccarin
But ain't nothin sweet 'bout how i hold my gun
I got 99 problems but this bitch ain't one
Hit me
Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.
Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.
it kills all thought
getting spacier than
an astronaut
making out with people
i hardly know or like
i can’t believe what i do
late at night
i wanna know what it’s like
on the inside of love
i’m standing at the gates
i see the beauty above
only when we get to see
the aerial view
will the patterns show
we’ll know what to do
i know the last page so well
i can’t see the first
so i just don’t start
it’s getting worse
(chorus)
i can’t find my way in
i try again and again
i’m on the outside of love
always under or above
must be a different view
to be a me with a you
of course i’ll be alright
i just had a bad night
Jason
Loneliness it shadows me, quicker than darkness
Crawls to the surface of my skin, visibly surrounded by it
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
Surrounded by empty souls, artificial courage used
And because so, once was mine
I walk this maze alone
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself
Chaos and hate shadow me, pain it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself
Chaos and hate shadow me, hate it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her
She's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know why it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know what it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know why it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a way of showin'
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'
She's got a light around her
And everywhere she goes
A million dreams of love surround her everywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me
I get turned around
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her anyway
Jason
We face the path of time,
And yet I fight,
And yet I fight, This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
Oooooh.....Oooooh.........
Oooooh.....Oooooh.........
My gift of self is raped
my privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be on my own
I'd feel better dead
Ooooh........Ooooh........
Ooooh........Oooooh.....
A beautiful night for being afraid
So raise your hands, you one and only's
You one-of-a-kinds who feel this way
I don't want to talk, don't want to explain it
I don't want to fuck and I don't want to fight
It's only a feeling, it's fleet and fading
It's all over the world, and it's only tonight
Cause it's a beautiful night, beautiful night, yeah
Beautiful night, beautiful night to be here
It's a perfect time for being wasted
A perfect time to watch the stars
So throw back your head
Come on, embrace it
It's a beautiful night, wherever you are
It's a beautiful night
Beautiful night, yeah
Beautiful night
Beautiful night to be here
All good things will come to you
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight it's the truth
I don't know
All good things to those who dream
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight we'll find peace
God I hope so
So raise your hands, raise your hands...
All good friends, they stood by you
And one at a time, one at a time they fell down
They fall down
All your fears are coming true and
This is the time, this is the time of your life
That defines you
So raise your hands, raise your hands...
Under the stars I'm alone among strangers
Confused, connected, diffused and alive
Maybe the future will smile on us
Maybe the future is here tonight
Cause it's a beautiful night, beautiful night, yeah
Beautiful night, beautiful night to be here
Beautiful night
Roll a gasper
The guard said he could stay alive
But he has to shovel
And burn his people to die - even if you die
And the gate read:
Arbeit Macht Frei
In her rollers
And a gasper
Cleaning the steps in a mean street
Where no policeman walks the beat
Her old man
He don't like blacks or queers
Yet he's proud he bet the nazis?
How queer....
If you've lost your faith in love and music the end won't be long
i'm fallin faster, hoping i'll land in your arms
cause all my time is spent here
longing to belong to you
i dream of circles perfect, eyes within your face
my heart's an open wound that only you replace
and though the moon is rising, can't put your picture down
love, it's a frightning way to fall
and when the time is right, i hope that you'll respond
like when the wind gets tired and the ocean becomes calm
i may be dreaming but i'm longing to belong to you
Jason
O céu está nublado
e a chuva molha todos os gados
que de repente ficam preocupados
com o som que a terra está fazendo
estremecendo, tremendo
terremoto. não. A Guerra
Um mar de pessoas de um lado
apavorando ainda mais os gados
que fogem todos assustados
ao som dos tambores e passadas
e os gritos excitados
sentindo o aproximar da morte
Durante a fuga dos gados
aparece exercito do outro lado
deixando-os encurralados
e totalmente apavorados
ao som dos tambores e passadas
com medo de ser mais uma caçada
Ambos exercitos estão agora parados
deixando os gados acalmados
e o silêncio está agora no ar
deixando a duvida do que acontecerá
medo de um lado, ódio do outro
e a batalha está pra começar
a infantaria na linha de frente
com a duvida pairando a mente
os arqueiros vem logo atrás
e a cavalaria logo em seguida
com todas suas as espadas erguidas
querendo saber o que vai acontecer com suas vidas
A cena está inerte
e de repente a situação se inverte
quando toda infantaria avança
diminuindo a esperança
sendo acompanhada pela cavalaria
começando então toda a matança
em questão de segundos
não haviam mais lados
desaparecendo assim todos os gados
transformando tudo em um único aglomerado
onde a única coisa em mente era a morte
e sobreviveria somente quem tivesse mais sorte
O aglomerado de pessoas aumentava
na proporção das tropas que chegavam
deixando a batalha mais balanceada
enquanto o número de mortes só aumentava
e a esperança só despencava
e o medo só desparava
todas as tropas já estavam então cansadas
porém, as mortes só aumentavam
de acordo com as horas que passavam
25.000 mortes foram contadas
vidas perdidas e desperdiçadas
em vez dessas vidas serem aproveitadas
Mais de 6 horas de luta
os contingentes das tropas diminuiam
enquanto a esperança de vitoria pra um dos lados decaía
a de derrota para o outro subia
e o por do sol ja aparecia
trazendo toda a escuridão para o dia
A lua já aparece no céu
e na terra pessoas se matam por obrigação
sem nenhum bom sentimento no coração
se matando por nenhuma razão
e para a guerra agente precisa dizer não
e deixar de agir apenas por obrigação
Você deve ser perguntar
qual dos lados deve ganhar
e eu lhe digo que ninguem deve vencer
com a guerra agente só tem a perder
e a morte e o ódio aumentar
deixemos o amor nos controlar
That is why I'm singing
I've never done the things that you need done for you.
I've stretched as high as I can reach. I guess I'm not the one for you.
'Cause I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun for you.
No, I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun.
I can't look inside your mind and see the things you're hopin' for.
I can't help you chase the dream you're gropin' for.
You say your arms are open wide,
But Lord knows who they're open for.
I can't know your mind or chase your dreams with you.
I can't chase your dreams or know your mind.
I hope you find somebody who can do the things I didn't do.
Find the road I didn't find, and build a better world for you.
I hope you find somebody bold enough to reach and take ahold
And guide your ever-changin' mind and free your ever-risin' soul.
But I can't...I can't .
I can't turn back time for you and make you sweet sixteen again.
I can't turn your barren fields to green again.
And I can't sit around and talk about what might have been again.
I can't turn back time and make you young again.
I can't turn back time and make you young.
So say goodbye and don't look back, I've had some happy days with you.
Sorry I can't be the one who stays with you.
And if they ask about me, you can say I was the one with you.
Who never touched the clouds or reached the sun with you.
I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun.
heaven knows it's high time,
I've been waiting on my own too long.
And when you hold me like you do
it feels so right
oh now
I start to forget how my heart gets torn
when the hurt gets thrown
feeling like you can't go on
Turning circles and time again
cut like a knife
oh now
if you love me gotta know for sure
'cause it takes something more this time
than sweet sweet lies
oh now
before I open up my arms and fall
losing all control
every dream inside my soul
when you kiss me on that midnight street
sweep me off my feet
singing ain't this life so sweet
This year's love it better last
This year's love it better last
'Cause who's to worry if our hearts get torn
when that hurt get thrown
don't you know this life goes on
won't you kiss me on that midnight street
sweep me off my feet
singing ain't this life so sweet
This year's love it better last
This year's love it better last
This year's love it better last
This year's love it better last
This year's love it better last
This year's love it better last
Jason
It's been a long year
Since you've been gone
I've been alone here
I've grown old
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling
Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
I keep a journal of memories
I'm feeling lonely, I can't breathe
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling
All the years I've tried
With more to go
Will the memories die
I'm waiting
Will I find you
Can I find you
We're falling down
I'm falling
There's no more air
Trippin' over myself
Goin' nowhere
Waiting
Suffocating
No direction
And I took a dive
And on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you
I've been wondering why
It's only me
Have you always been inside
Waiting to breathe
It's alright
Sunlight
On my face
I wake up and yeah, I'm alive
'cause on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you
I was so afraid
Of going under
But now
The weight of the world
Feels like nothing, no, nothing
Down, down, down
You're all I wanted
Down, down, down
You're all I needed
Down, down, down
You're all I wanted
You're all I needed
And I won't forget the way you loved me
All that I wanted
All that I needed
On the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you
Down, down, down
But I held onto you
Down, down, down
But I held onto you
Well I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
CHORUS
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget
it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
CHORUS
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord ,oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord ,oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
I can fell it in the air tonight, oh lord
Jason
You were in a bar in the corner on a chair
Wearing a long white leather coat
Purple glasses and glitter in your hair
And you said hey this is where I'm gonna sit
And buy you a drink someday
You were going to the dog shows
But you kinda lost your way
You say now I got all this room
And no money to decorate it, so some
Local customer put me in touch with the man
Upstairs, he said little man you got no
Business gettin' frustrated, you gotta rest
You gotta rest you gotta reach down
And pick the crowd up
Carry back in your hands
To the promised land
Now I had some angel shine my wings, she said
Nothin' but the best for the golden boy
She made me promise not to tell I had her under
A spell singing golden words in a broken voice
And I caught some blessing on the wind I'm
Feeling lighter than a whisper from a dove
I've got no hands to tie behind my back
And I'm sparking like a heart attack, now I've got
Room to spread my wings and my messages of
Love, yes love was my drug, but that's not
What I died of, so don't think of me
Crying louder than some billion dollar baby
Cause I gotta rest I gotta rest I gotta
Reach down and pick the
Crowd up, carry back in my
Hand to the promised land
Is the quest we're taking together...
you dont even know me
you saved my dream
you heard me scream
(woah)
my lost soul was saved by a stranger
who saved my life
you saved my life
why did you do it
what made you stop and turn around
do you even know the reason
why you had to help me out
just when i knew it
it was my time to sink or swim
you came along and pulled me out
of all the trouble i was in
why did you do it
why did you risk your life for mine
who'd have done the same for you
who'd have saved you just in time
you saved my heart
you dont even know me
you saved my dream
you heard me scream
(oh)
you saved my soul
love that you have shown me
you saved my life
you saved my life
where did u come from
how did u know i was alone
that i never stood a chance
to find a way out on my own
you sent a message
that i was hanging by a thread
by this very time tomorrow
they will leave me here for dead
why did u do it
why did u risk your life for mine
who'd have done the same for you
who'd have saved you just in time
you saved my heart
you dont even know me
you saved my dream
you heard me scream
my lost soul was saved my a stranger
you saved my life
you saved my life
save my life, save my life
save my heart, save my heart
and you dont even know me
(ooh)
save my soul, save my soul
save my dream, save my dream
save my life
you saved my heart
you dont even know me
you saved my dream
you heard me scream
(woah)
my lost soul
was saved by a stranger
who saved my life
you saved my life
you saved my heart
you dont even know me
you saved my dream
you heard me scream
(woah)
my lost soul
was saved by a stranger
who saved my life
you saved my life
Jason
I am so up close to you
I don't know what's going on...
I don't know what's going on
I am so confused by you
I don't know what's going on
Don't say anymore
To me at all
To me at all
Don't say more
To me at all
To me at all
I am so in love with you
With you
With you
I am so in love with you
With you
With you...
I don't know what's going on
I am so in deep with you
I don't know what's going on...
I don't know what's going on
I am so disturbed by you
I don't know whats going on
Don't say anymore
To me at all
To me at all
Don't say more
To me at all
To me at all
I am so in love with...
You.
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home
With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25
This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time
You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words
What have I done?
It's too late for that
What have I become?
Truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask...this time.
of my need to not disappear
how i'm feeling, so revealing to me
i found my mind too clear
i just need someone to be there for.. me
i just want someone to be there for.. me
all the static in my attic-a
shoots down my sciatic nerve
to the ocean of my platitudes
longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
i just need someone to be there for..
i just want someone to be there for..
someone to be there for me
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
ooh, let's call in an angel
ooh, let's call in an angel
ooh, let's call in an angel
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way
'cause i'll stop trying to make a difference
i'm not trying to make a difference
i'll stop trying to make a difference
no way, no way
let's call in an angel
who's calling an angel?
It was familiar to me, the smoke too thick to breathe.
The tile floors glistened; I slowly stirred my drink.
And when you started to sing, you spoke with broken speech
That I could not understand, and then you grabbed me tightly.
I won't let go, I won't let go. Even if you say so, oh no.
I've tried and tried with no results. I won't let go, I won't let go.
He then played every song from nineteen ninety three.
The crowd applauded as he curtsied bashfully.
Your eyelashes tickled my neck with every nervous blink,
And it was perfect until the telephone started
Ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off...
a melody always finds me
whenever the thought reminds me
a pulse and a chain inside my head
a melody chord unwinds me
a rhythm of life unties me
bustlin a silent time away
if you look with your mind
do you know what you will find?
open your mind...
even the words they fail me
oh quite but still they fill me
i never say what I want to say
it's only a word believe me
if only the world could see me
i have a silent word to him...
if you look with your eyes
do you know what you will find?
open your mind...
the melody always finds me
whenever the thought reminds me
breaking a chain inside my head
a melody chord unwinds me
a rhythm of life unties me
burning a silent time away
if you look with your mind
do you know what you will find?
open your mind...
open your mind...
open your mind
