this always gets me happy and clapping and jumping and what not
it's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
it's okay, I love you anyway
it's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
it's okay...
this is my chance, this is my life
this is my hope in an alleyway
this is my choice, this is my voice
there may be no tomorrow, now
this is my plea, this is my need
this is my time for standing free
this is my staff, this is my day
and the world is never safe
it's okay, you know I love you anyway
it's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
it's okay, it's okay
it's okay...
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
I just can’t look it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside
I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
cannot find the comfort in this world
artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...
but there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...
as privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
swept out through the cracks beneath the door
holier than thou, how?
surrendered...executed anyhow
scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on too...
he saw the trapdoor in the sun...
immortality...
i cannot stop the thought...i'm running in the dark...
coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
and whiskers in the sink...
truants move on...cannot stay long
some die just to live...
ohh...
tonight you've caught your breath
you've lost your american spirit
if only i could catch my death yeah
jus' give me long enough to fear it
her talk ain't like the other girls
she takes my livin' at a glance
we hear the locust's rasp back and forth
an' through the thoughts the past does dance
do i waste my time
yeah well you know it
an' as i stroll through the room
see my features show it
feel the hand on my shoulder
yeah it calls me to dwell
take a breath hard an' clear yeah
like a hammer on a church bell

I'm jaded, and you're beautiful
I'm deluded, and I'm envious of you
You're carin' that I'm hurtin'
But I'm laughin' 'cause I'm lyin'
And you believe what I say to be true
This is the way God made me
No self-reliance, no social skills
You're confident and you express yourself so well
Your learned degrees upon your wall
I'm jealous, no invitations to the ball
This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me
No self-esteem, you're picture-perfect
You walk about so contented, the trees call out your name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded and my excuses are so lame
This is the way God made me
This is the way (this is the way) God made me
(I think this is just the way I'm meant to be, yeah)
This is the way God made me
(Well there's no excuse it's just the way God made me)
This is the way (hey, yeah) God made me
It's just the way I am
sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...
I'm a lexicon devil
with a battered brain
And I'm searching for a future
the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
gimme gimme your minds
gimme gimme this
gimme gimme that
I want toy tin soldiers that can push and shove
I want gunboy rovers that'll wreck this club
I'll build you up and level your heads
We'll run it my way, cold men
and politic's dead
I'll get silver guns to drip old blood
Let's give this established joke a shove
We're gonna wreak havoc on the rancid mill
I'm searching for something
even if I'm killed
Empty out your pockets
you don't need their change
I'm giving you the power to rearrange
Together we'll run to the highest prop
Tear it down and let it drop away
late morning midnight, sunny tuesday gloom,
silence under shutters, stillness in the room.
bobby lee, bobby lee, this cave’s too dark for me. I gotta go out where the wind can find my face.
I just hope that you’ll see eventually that I was only trying to roll the stone away.
the years and the seasons, the tide and the breeze,
they come and bring their changes, so you call them all your enemies.
bobby lee, I don’t think I can breathe, and the walls get closer every single day,
and yeah it’s true I’m gonna leave, I just hope you can believe how hard I really tried to roll the stone away.
sorrow comes a knocking, but you won’t let her inside.
so she goes away with joy her little sister.
but she’s looking back in her tracks, a tear in her eye.
bobby lee, bobby lee, I believe it’s killing me, and I got no other words that I can say.
but I pray every night that someday you might find a way to roll that stone away
bobby lee, bobby lee, you meant the world to me, and I miss you more than I could ever say.
but I tried for so long, and no one is that strong. I think it’s you who’s gotta roll the stone away.
Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We’re gonna take what’s ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We’re tagged and can’t turn back
You see us coming
And you all together run for cover
We’re taking over this town
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It’s been slow down below,
Aimed at you we’re the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we’ve won
Ain’t talking no tall tales friend
cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you, we’re the cowboys from hell
Pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge,
Can’t lock me in your cage
You see us coming
And you all together run for cover
We’re takin over this town
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It’s been slow down below,
Aimed at you we’re the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we’ve won
Ain’t talking no tall tales friend
’cause high noon, your doom
Comin’ for you we’re the cowboys from hell
Let's say I'm feeling better
Let's say I'm feeling fine
Let's say I gave you all I had
And now I'm out of time
And my best wasn't good enough
And now there's time to wonder
Now there's time to heal
Time to let it all come down
But I don't know what I feel
But it aches and it hurts and it burns
Oh it kills me
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Now don't you call me baby
Just don't pretend you care
Save your sorry for yourself
When Judas takes you there, oh yeah
Once I really believed
There was nothing out there for the lost and lonely
But a voice in my head kept banging on my heart
Says you're not the only one
But it kills me
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
the sun came up with no conclusions
flowers sleeping in their beds
the city cemetary's humming
I'm wide awake, it's morning
I have my drugs, I have my woman
they keep away my loneliness
my parents, they have their religion
but sleep in separate houses
I read the body count out of the paper
and now it's written all over my face
no one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter
sometimes that's just the most comfortable place
so I'm drinking, breathing, writing, singing
every day I'm on the clock
my mind races with all my longings
but can't keep up with all I've got
so I hope I don't sound too ungrateful
when history gave modern men
the telephone to talk to strangers
machine guns and the camera lens
so when you're asked to fight a war that's all for nothing
it's best to join the side that's gonna win
and no one's sure how all of this got started
but we're gonna make 'em goddamn certain how it's gonna end
well I could have been a famous singer
if I had someone else's voice
but failure's always sounded better
let's fuck it up boys, make some noise!
the sun came up with no conclusions
flowers sleeping in their beds
the city cemetary's humming
I'm wide awake, it's morning!
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.
Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain’t no denyin’
I’ve been flying, ain’t no denyin’, no denyin’
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I’ve been.
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My shangri-la beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high and true, when movin’ through kashmir.
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.
When I’m on, when I’m on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I’m down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I’m down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
Let me take you there. let me take you there
sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...
My cell is ringing
No ID
I need to know who's calling
My garden's overgrown
I go out on my belly crawling
I got CCTV, pornography, CNBC
I got the nightly news
To get to know the enemy
All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is your face in a locket
Picture in my pocket
I take a pill to stop it
I know these fast cars
Will do me no good
I'm going nowhere
Where I am it is a lot of fun
They're in the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb
I watch them channel hop
Check the stocks
I'm in detox
I want the lot of what you've got
If what you've got can make this stop
All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to be right next to you
All I want is your picture in a locket
Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it
I know these fast cars
Will do me no good
Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind
You should worry about the day
That the pain it goes away
You know I miss mine sometimes
There is no fiction
That will truly fit the situation
I'm documenting every detail
Every conversation
I'm not used to talking to somebody in their body
Look, there's somebody in a body, somebody in a body
My love for you is real
It moves like the summer wind
My love for you is long
It's like the night sky, ain't got no end
My love for you is wide
Yeah, it move like the summer breeze
My love for you is long
Yeah, it bring me to my knees
Yeah, and it's wide
Yeah, it's river long
Yeah, it's rock strong
Yeah, I'm wild as hell
Honey now, my love for you is real
My love for you is wild
So cross your T's and dot you eyes
Well, who taught us how to feel
And say hello with long goodbyes
And it's wide
River long
Yeah, and it's rock strong
Yeah, I'm wild as hell
Honey now, my love for you is real
My love for you is real

Yeah, it's real
i've got our love to remember
that will never change
i have you in my head
and no, i'll never hold you
and i'm still asking why
i guess that this is goodbye
my dreams suddenly seem so empty
i could go on my own, but i feel like playin' dead
and for what feels like the first time
i don't know where you are tonight
i guess that this is goodbye
we lived half our lives together
a hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
and the sun, it may be shining
but there's an ocean in my eyes
cause i know that this is goodbye
Weren't you the one who said that you don't want me anymore
And how you need your space and give the keys back to your door
And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me
And still you said your love was gone and that I had to leave
Now you're Talking bout a family
Now you're saying I complete your dreams
Oh
Now you're sayin I'm your everything
You're confusing me
What you saying to me, don't play wit me, don't play wit me
Cause....
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back
I remember when I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you til 3 o'clock in the 'morn
And when you came home you'd always have some sorry excuse
Half explaining to me like I'm just some kind of a fool
I sacrificed the things I wanted just to do things for you
But when it's time to do for me
You never come thru
Now you wanna be up under me
Now you have so much to say to me
Now you wanna make time for me
Whatcha doin to me, you're confusin me
Don't play with me don't play with me cause
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back
I remember when I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you till 3 o'clock in the 'morn
Night after night knowing something goin on
Wasn't long before I be gone
Lord knows it wasn't easy believe me
Never thought you'd be the one that would deceive me
And never do what you're supposed to do
No need to approach me fool, cuz I'm over you
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back
Gotta stop trying to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back

some words when spoken...can't be taken back...

future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...

one day she stiffened...took the other side...
empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...

Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown
Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
The stars go blue, stars go blue

"Death alone from death can save"
(George McDonald)
Fell into
A sea of grass
And disappeared among
The shady blades...
Children all
Ran over me
Screaming "Tag!
You are the one!"
He trips her as
Her sandals fail
She says "stop!
I'm a girl...
Whose fingernails are made
Of mother's pearl..."
Yellow buttercup
Helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after
The crazy bee
Mad about somebody...
Me and my girlfriend
Don't wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper
Sunlight...
She loves me
I mean it's serious
As serious can be...
She sings a song and
I listen to what it says
If you want a friend
Feed any animal...
There was so much space
I cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime...
And it rolled
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, "darling, 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
my 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 'till the ice hits my lip
order another round
and that's it for now
sorry
never been too good at happy endings...
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
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, yeah
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, yeah
and the barrel shakes aimed a-directly at my head
oh help me, help me from myself
and i listen, from both sides of a friend...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 the left, yeah huh uh
and i listen for the voice inside my head..nothing..i'll do this one myself
oh, ah and the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head
won't you help me? help me from myself, oh.....
hmm, 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...yeah...woh, woh, woh......
I don’t know why you’re mean to me
When I call on the telephone
And I don’t know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, I want to take you on
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine all the time
The fool might be my middle name
But I’d be foolish not to say
I’m going to make whatever it takes,
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love,
Make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine all the time, oh
I tripped and fell. did I fall?
What I want to feel, I want to feel it now
You know with love come strange currencies
And here is my appeal:
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,
A word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine all the time, oh
These words, you will be mine
These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray,
Say, love’s confined, oh

and i will raise my hand up into the nightime sky
and count the stars that shine in your eye
ah, just to dig it all and not to wonder..that's just fine

and i will never ever ever ever grow so old again

all those yesterdays...
all those yesterdays
all those paper plates
all those yesterdays
you've got time, you've got time to escape

Bee girl, you're gonna die.
You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy.
Do your dances alone in your room.
Becoming a star will become your doom.
Bee Girl, be a girl.
You know time is long, and life is short.
Begin to live while you still can.
Believe in nothing, believe me,
Those who can be trusted can change their mind.
When the anxious is the present, unwrap your gifts, take your time.
Everything you imagine needn't be stuck in your mind.
Bee Girl, be a girl...
sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...
Somebody once told me the world is going to roll me,im not the smartest tool in the shield,she was looking kind of dumb with her finger in her thumb and the shape on her forehead,well the years start coming and they dont coming feed to the rules and ill hit the ground running,didnt make sense not to live for fun your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb,so munch to do so munch to say,well whats wrong talking backstreets,youll never know if you dont go youll never shine if you dont glow.

Tattered and worn
but I must kneel to fight
Friend of mine
what can't you spare
I know some times
it gets cold in there
When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
Hope is alive
while we're apart
only tears
speak from my heart
break the chains
that hold us down
and we shall be
forever bound
When I'm tired and weary
and a long way from home
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
Beauty that
we left behind
how shall we
tomorrow find
Set aside
our weight in sin
so that we
can live again
When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
Jason
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
I just can’t look it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside
I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
I never...
I never...
I never...

cannot find the comfort in this world
artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...
but there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...
as privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
swept out through the cracks beneath the door
holier than thou, how?
surrendered...executed anyhow
scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on too...
he saw the trapdoor in the sun...
immortality...
i cannot stop the thought...i'm running in the dark...
coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
and whiskers in the sink...
truants move on...cannot stay long
some die just to live...
ohh...
Jason
tonight you've caught your breath
you've lost your american spirit
if only i could catch my death yeah
jus' give me long enough to fear it
her talk ain't like the other girls
she takes my livin' at a glance
we hear the locust's rasp back and forth
an' through the thoughts the past does dance
do i waste my time
yeah well you know it
an' as i stroll through the room
see my features show it
feel the hand on my shoulder
yeah it calls me to dwell
take a breath hard an' clear yeah
like a hammer on a church bell

I'll take care of you
Protect you
Calm, calm down
You're exhausted
Come lie down
You don't have to explain
I understand
You know
That i adore you
You know
That I love you
So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm
Jump off
Your building's on fire
I'll catch you
I'll catch you
Destroy all that is keeping you down
And then I'll nurse you
I'll nurse you
Come to me
I'll take care of you
You don't have to explain
I understand
Come To Me ~ Bjork
I'm deluded, and I'm envious of you
You're carin' that I'm hurtin'
But I'm laughin' 'cause I'm lyin'
And you believe what I say to be true
This is the way God made me
No self-reliance, no social skills
You're confident and you express yourself so well
Your learned degrees upon your wall
I'm jealous, no invitations to the ball
This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me
No self-esteem, you're picture-perfect
You walk about so contented, the trees call out your name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded and my excuses are so lame
This is the way God made me
This is the way (this is the way) God made me
(I think this is just the way I'm meant to be, yeah)
This is the way God made me
(Well there's no excuse it's just the way God made me)
This is the way (hey, yeah) God made me
It's just the way I am
with a battered brain
And I'm searching for a future
the world's my aim
So gimme gimme your hands
gimme gimme your minds
gimme gimme this
gimme gimme that
I want toy tin soldiers that can push and shove
I want gunboy rovers that'll wreck this club
I'll build you up and level your heads
We'll run it my way, cold men
and politic's dead
I'll get silver guns to drip old blood
Let's give this established joke a shove
We're gonna wreak havoc on the rancid mill
I'm searching for something
even if I'm killed
Empty out your pockets
you don't need their change
I'm giving you the power to rearrange
Together we'll run to the highest prop
Tear it down and let it drop away
with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy
the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.
Ten silver saxes,
a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes
and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.
Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah.

late morning midnight, sunny tuesday gloom,
silence under shutters, stillness in the room.
bobby lee, bobby lee, this cave’s too dark for me. I gotta go out where the wind can find my face.
I just hope that you’ll see eventually that I was only trying to roll the stone away.
the years and the seasons, the tide and the breeze,
they come and bring their changes, so you call them all your enemies.
bobby lee, I don’t think I can breathe, and the walls get closer every single day,
and yeah it’s true I’m gonna leave, I just hope you can believe how hard I really tried to roll the stone away.
sorrow comes a knocking, but you won’t let her inside.
so she goes away with joy her little sister.
but she’s looking back in her tracks, a tear in her eye.
bobby lee, bobby lee, I believe it’s killing me, and I got no other words that I can say.
but I pray every night that someday you might find a way to roll that stone away
bobby lee, bobby lee, you meant the world to me, and I miss you more than I could ever say.
but I tried for so long, and no one is that strong. I think it’s you who’s gotta roll the stone away.
Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We’re gonna take what’s ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We’re tagged and can’t turn back
You see us coming
And you all together run for cover
We’re taking over this town
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It’s been slow down below,
Aimed at you we’re the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we’ve won
Ain’t talking no tall tales friend
cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you, we’re the cowboys from hell
Pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge,
Can’t lock me in your cage
You see us coming
And you all together run for cover
We’re takin over this town
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It’s been slow down below,
Aimed at you we’re the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we’ve won
Ain’t talking no tall tales friend
’cause high noon, your doom
Comin’ for you we’re the cowboys from hell
Let's say I'm feeling fine
Let's say I gave you all I had
And now I'm out of time
And my best wasn't good enough
And now there's time to wonder
Now there's time to heal
Time to let it all come down
But I don't know what I feel
But it aches and it hurts and it burns
Oh it kills me
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Now don't you call me baby
Just don't pretend you care
Save your sorry for yourself
When Judas takes you there, oh yeah
Once I really believed
There was nothing out there for the lost and lonely
But a voice in my head kept banging on my heart
Says you're not the only one
But it kills me
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Tick, tock, you don't stop
You don't fade
You just stay
But I'll do it all again
Jason
the sun came up with no conclusions
flowers sleeping in their beds
the city cemetary's humming
I'm wide awake, it's morning
I have my drugs, I have my woman
they keep away my loneliness
my parents, they have their religion
but sleep in separate houses
I read the body count out of the paper
and now it's written all over my face
no one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter
sometimes that's just the most comfortable place
so I'm drinking, breathing, writing, singing
every day I'm on the clock
my mind races with all my longings
but can't keep up with all I've got
so I hope I don't sound too ungrateful
when history gave modern men
the telephone to talk to strangers
machine guns and the camera lens
so when you're asked to fight a war that's all for nothing
it's best to join the side that's gonna win
and no one's sure how all of this got started
but we're gonna make 'em goddamn certain how it's gonna end
well I could have been a famous singer
if I had someone else's voice
but failure's always sounded better
let's fuck it up boys, make some noise!
the sun came up with no conclusions
flowers sleeping in their beds
the city cemetary's humming
I'm wide awake, it's morning!
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.
Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain’t no denyin’
I’ve been flying, ain’t no denyin’, no denyin’
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I’ve been.
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My shangri-la beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high and true, when movin’ through kashmir.
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.
When I’m on, when I’m on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I’m down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I’m down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
Let me take you there. let me take you there
No ID
I need to know who's calling
My garden's overgrown
I go out on my belly crawling
I got CCTV, pornography, CNBC
I got the nightly news
To get to know the enemy
All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is your face in a locket
Picture in my pocket
I take a pill to stop it
I know these fast cars
Will do me no good
I'm going nowhere
Where I am it is a lot of fun
They're in the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb
I watch them channel hop
Check the stocks
I'm in detox
I want the lot of what you've got
If what you've got can make this stop
All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to be right next to you
All I want is your picture in a locket
Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it
I know these fast cars
Will do me no good
Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind
You should worry about the day
That the pain it goes away
You know I miss mine sometimes
There is no fiction
That will truly fit the situation
I'm documenting every detail
Every conversation
I'm not used to talking to somebody in their body
Look, there's somebody in a body, somebody in a body

It moves like the summer wind
My love for you is long
It's like the night sky, ain't got no end

Jason
that will never change
i have you in my head
and no, i'll never hold you
and i'm still asking why
i guess that this is goodbye
my dreams suddenly seem so empty
i could go on my own, but i feel like playin' dead
and for what feels like the first time
i don't know where you are tonight
i guess that this is goodbye
we lived half our lives together
a hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
and the sun, it may be shining
but there's an ocean in my eyes
cause i know that this is goodbye
Jason
And how you need your space and give the keys back to your door
And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me
And still you said your love was gone and that I had to leave
Now you're Talking bout a family
Now you're saying I complete your dreams
Oh
Now you're sayin I'm your everything
You're confusing me
What you saying to me, don't play wit me, don't play wit me

What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back
I remember when I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you til 3 o'clock in the 'morn
And when you came home you'd always have some sorry excuse
Half explaining to me like I'm just some kind of a fool
I sacrificed the things I wanted just to do things for you
But when it's time to do for me
You never come thru
Now you wanna be up under me
Now you have so much to say to me
Now you wanna make time for me
Whatcha doin to me, you're confusin me
Don't play with me don't play with me cause
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back
I remember when I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you till 3 o'clock in the 'morn
Night after night knowing something goin on
Wasn't long before I be gone
Lord knows it wasn't easy believe me
Never thought you'd be the one that would deceive me
And never do what you're supposed to do
No need to approach me fool, cuz I'm over you
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back
Gotta stop trying to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back

Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
Is it up to me ?
You won't wait to see
Screwed us both again
About as close as you dare
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
Is it up to me ?
You won't wait to see
Screwed us yet again
About as close as you dare
Hey now, take it back
Get off me, you're sad
Trailin' on your scene
Just try and keep it clear

Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown
Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
The stars go blue, stars go blue

A sea of grass
And disappeared among
The shady blades...
Children all
Ran over me
Screaming "Tag!
You are the one!"
He trips her as
Her sandals fail
She says "stop!
I'm a girl...
Whose fingernails are made
Of mother's pearl..."
Yellow buttercup

Orange buttercat
Chasing after
The crazy bee
Mad about somebody...
Me and my girlfriend
Don't wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper
Sunlight...
She loves me
I mean it's serious
As serious can be...
She sings a song and
I listen to what it says
If you want a friend
Feed any animal...
There was so much space
I cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime...
And it rolled
Summer.... oh...
Oh.... the summertime rolls
Summertime Rolls ~ Jane's Addiction
she wanted to see other people
I thought, "well then, look around, they're everywhere"
said that she was confused...
I thought, "darling, 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
my 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 'till the ice hits my lip
order another round
and that's it for now
sorry
never been too good at happy endings...
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, yeah
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, yeah
and the barrel shakes aimed a-directly at my head
oh help me, help me from myself
and i listen, from both sides of a friend...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 the left, yeah huh uh
and i listen for the voice inside my head..nothing..i'll do this one myself
oh, ah and the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head
won't you help me? help me from myself, oh.....
hmm, 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...yeah...woh, woh, woh......
I don’t know why you’re mean to me
When I call on the telephone
And I don’t know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, I want to take you on
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine all the time
The fool might be my middle name
But I’d be foolish not to say
I’m going to make whatever it takes,
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love,
Make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine all the time, oh
I tripped and fell. did I fall?
What I want to feel, I want to feel it now
You know with love come strange currencies
And here is my appeal:
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,
A word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine all the time, oh
These words, you will be mine
These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray,
Say, love’s confined, oh

You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy.
Do your dances alone in your room.
Becoming a star will become your doom.
Bee Girl, be a girl.
You know time is long, and life is short.
Begin to live while you still can.
Believe in nothing, believe me,
Those who can be trusted can change their mind.

Everything you imagine needn't be stuck in your mind.
Bee Girl, be a girl...
Hey now your an allstar get your game on go play hey now your a rockstar get the game go play.
