Seemed to stop my breath
My head on your chest
Waiting to cave in
From the bottom of my....
Hear your voice again
Could we dim the sun
And wonder where we've been
Maybe you and me
So kiss me like you did
My heart stopped beating
Such a softer sin
I'm melting, I'm melting
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
Now
Never caught my breath
Every second I'm without you I'm a mess
Ever know each other
Trust these words are stones
My cuts are healing
Learning how to love
I'm melting, I'm melting
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
Stay with me, lay with me now
You could stay and watch me fall
And of course I'll ask for help
Just stay with me now
We could lift our heads
Stay in bed and just make love, that's fine
Just stay with me now
I'm melting, I'm melting
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
and I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me lay with me
Stay with me, lay with me
In your eyes
Let's sleep 'til the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes
I'm melting in your eyes
In your eyes
Let's sleep 'til the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
Life is the riddle
Of which we're caught in the middle.
A couple of lucky ones
Tangled up in too much love
~cowboy junkies
You said you didn't need her

pavlov hits me with more bad news
every time i answer the phone
so i play and i sing and i just let it ring
all day when i'm at home
a defacto choice of macro
or microcosmic melancholy
but, baby, any way you slice it
i'm thinkin i could just as soon use
the time alone
yes, the goons have gone global
and the CEOs are shredding files
and the democrans and the republicrats
are flashing their toothy smiles
and uncle tom is posing for a photo op
with the oval office clan
and uncle sam is rigging cockfights
in the promised land
and that knife you stuck in my back is still there
it pinches a little when i sigh and moan
and these days i'm thinkin i could just as soon use
the time alone
cuz all the wrong people have the power
of suggestion
and the freedom of the press is meaningless
if nobody asks a question
i mean
causation by definition
is such a complex compilation
of factors
that to even try to say why
is to over simplify
but that's a far cry
isn't it dear?
from acting like you're the only one there
unrepentantly self centered and unfair
enter all suckers scrambling for the scoop
exit mr. eye contact
who took his flirt and flew the coop
but whatever
no matter
no fishin trips
no fishin
cuz mamma's officially out of commission
and did i mention
in there
somewhere
did i mention
somewhere
in there
that i traded babe ruth?
yes, i traded the only player that was bigger than the game
and i can't even tell you why
cuz you'd think i'm insane
and that's the truth
and the music industry mafia is pimping girl power
sniping off their sharp shooter singles from their styrofoam towers
and hip hop is tied up in the back room
with a logo stuffed in its mouth
cuz the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house
but then
i'm getting away from myself
as i get closer and closer to home
and the difference between you and me baby
is i get fucked up
when i'm alone
and i must admit
today my inner pessimist
seems to have got the best of me
we start out sugared up on kool-aid and manifest destiny
and we memorize all the president's names
like little trained monkeys
and then we're spit into the world
so many spinny-eyed t.v. junkies
incapable of unravelling the military industrial mystery
preemptively pacified with history book history
and i've been around the world now
and i can see this about america
the mind control is steep here, man
the myopia is deep here
and behold
those that try to expose the reality
who really try to realize democracy
are shot with rubber bullets and gassed off the streets
while the global power brokers are kept clean and discrete
behind a wall
behind a moat
and that is all
that's all she wrote
and my heart beats an sss o o o sss
cuz folks just couldn't care care care less less less
as long as every day is superbowl sunday
and larger than life women in lingerie
are pouting at us from every bus stop
shelovesme shelovesmenot shelovesme shelovesmenot...
and big government should not stand between a man and his money
i mean "what's good for business is good for the country"
our children still take that lie like communion
the same old line
the confederacy used on the union
conjugate liberty
into libertarian
and medicate it
associate it
with deregulation
privitization
we won't even know we're slaves
on a corporate plantation
somebody say halleluja!
somebody say damnation!
cuz the profit system follows the path of least resistance
and the path of least resistance is what makes the river crooked
makes it serpentine
capitalism is the devil's wet dream
so just give me my judy garland drugs
and let me get back to work
cuz the empire state building
is the tallest building in new york
and i always got the feeling
you just liked to hear it fall
off your tongue
but i remember my name
in your mouth
and i don't think i was done
hearing it close to my ear
on a whisper's way to a moan
but pavlov hits me with more bad news every time i answer the phone
so i play and i sing and i just let it ring all day when i'm at home
a defacto choice of macro
or microcosmic melancholy
but baby, any way you slice it
i'm thinkin i could just as soon use
the time alone
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

You're awful bright, you're awful smart
I must admit you broke my heart
The awful truth is really sad
I must admit I was awful bad
While lovers laughed and music plays
I stumbled by and I hide my pain
The lamps are lit, the moon is gone
I think I've crossed the Rubicon
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Walked the streets of love
And they're full of tears
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Walked the streets of love
And they are full of tears
While music pumps from passing cars
A couple watched me from above
A band just played the wedding march
and the cornerstore mends broken hearts
A woman asked me for a dance
It's free of charge just one more chance
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Walked the streets of love
And they are full of tears
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Walked the streets of love
For a thousand years
You had the moves, you had the cards
I must admit you were awful smart
The awful truth is awful sad
I must admit I was awful bad
Ahh, ahh, ahh
I walked the streets of love
For a thousand years
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Walked the streets of love
And they're drenched in tears
Memories of being in tears laughing while singing along and dancing in my family room with the phone to my ear. Some of the silliest memories are the best ones!!!
I'm in love with you girl 'cause you're on my mind,
you're the one I think about most every time.
And when you pack a smile in everything you do,
don't you understand, girl, this love is true.
You're soft, succulent so sweet and thin
that's kind of like a vision upon your skin.
It lightens up my day, and that's oh so true.
Together we're one separated we're two.
To make you all mine, all mine is my desire.
'Cause you contain a quality, you that I admire.
You're pretty plain and simple, you rule my world so try to understand.
I'm in love girl,
I'm in so love girl.
I'm just in love girl, and this is true.
Girl, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Yes, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Girl, you know it's true.
My love is for you.
Girl, you know it's true.
My love is for you.
This is some sort of thing, girl, I can't explain,
my emotions starts up when I hear your name.
Maybe your sweet sweet voice would ring in my ear,
then delay my system when you are near.
Come with your positive emotion, love, making enjoyin'
that's for me to bust it's like a girl and a boy.
These feelings I get I often wonder why,
so I thought I might discuss this, girl, just you and I.
Now what you're wearing I don't care, as I've said before,
no reason that I like you, girl, just for what you are.
If I said I'd think about it, you rule my world so try to understand.
I'm in love girl,
I'm in so love girl.
I'm just in love girl, and this is true.
Girl, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Yes, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Girl, you know it's true.
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
Memories of being in tears laughing while singing along and dancing in my family room with the phone to my ear. Some of the silliest memories are the best ones!!! quote]
That was a good time! Here's another. Milli Vanilli ROCKS! hahahaha!!!!
I knew it from the start
You would break my heart
But you still I had to play this painful part
You wrapped me 'round your itty-bitty finger
With your magic smile
You kept me hangin' on a lovers cross a while
You put your spell on me
Took my breath away
But there was nothin' I could do to make you stay
I'm gonna miss you
All the love I feel for you
Nothing could make me change my point of view
Oh, girl
I'm gonna miss you, baby
Giving all the love I feel for you
Couldn't make you change your point of view
You're leavin'
Now I'm sittin' here, wastin' my time
I just don't know what I should do
It's a tragedy for me
To see the dream is over
And I never will forget the day we met
Girl I'm gonna miss you
Like a honey bee
You took the best of me
Now I can't erase those memories
Like a fairy tale
You are so unreal
You left a scar that's so hard to heal
When you had a taste of paradise
Back on earth can't feel
As cold as ice
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I miss you
Giving all the love I feel for you
Couldn't make you change your point of view
You're leavin'
Now I'm sittin' here, wastin' my time
I just don't know what I should do
It's a tragedy for me
To see the dream is over
And I never will forget the day we met
Girl, I'm gonna miss you
It's a tragedy for me
To see the dream is over
And I never will forget the day we met
Girl, I'm gonna miss you
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you every day
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I‘m holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you every day
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you every day
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say

You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
We'd like to know a little bit about your for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself.
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes,
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home.
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Hide in the hiding place where no one ever goes.
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.
It's a little secret just the Robinsons' affair.
Most of all you've got to hide it from the kids.
Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Going to the candidate's debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio,
Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you.
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson.
Jotting Joe has left and gone away,
Hey hey hey.
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
Oh where oh where can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so I got to be good
so I can see my baby when I leave this world
we were out on a date in my daddy's car
we hadn't driven very far
there in the road straight ahead
a car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
the screaming tires, the busting glass
the painful scream that I heard last
oh where oh where can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so I got to be good
so I can see my baby when I leave this world
when I woke up the rain was pouring down
there were people standing all around
something warm flowing through my eyes
but somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head she looked at me and said
hold me darling just a little while
I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I had missed
well now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life, that night
oh where oh where can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so I got to be good
so I can see my baby when I leave this world
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
See the man with the lonely eyes
Take his hand, you'll be suprised
So I'll give a little bit
I'll give a lttle bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
Now's the time that we need to share
So send a smile, we're on our way back home
ooh yea yea
We gotta feel it
Yea yea yea yea...
Ooo
Don't you need to feel at home
Ooo you gotta feel it
Yea you gotta want to
OO you gotta sing, we've come along way tonight
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
Now's the time we need to share
So send a smile, we're on our way back home
Yea come along too
Yea we gotta feel it
Cause i need to feel at home
Come along too
Such a long ride
oo come a long way
Such a long ride
Come a long way
Sing it tonight
Hahaha that's a cover of a Supertramp song. The Goo Goo Dolls suck!
"It's the American Dream I am disbelieving... When the gas in my tank feels like money in the bank... I’m gonna blow it all this time, take me one last ride..." - Gone (vedder)
That's my girl! You just pulled my first laugh of the day.
You cannot quit me so quickly
There's no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love
The space between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like 'will it rain today?'
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing
We're strange allies
With warring hearts
What wild-eyed beast you be
The space between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
Will I hold you again?
Will I hold...
Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down
The space between
Where you're smiling high
Is where you'll find me if I get to go
The space between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into...
The space between
Our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain
Take my hand
'Cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need here
The space between
What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The space between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
The space between...
One song
Glory
One song
Before I go
Glory
One song to leave behind
Find one song
One last refrain
Glory
From the pretty boy frontman
Who wasted opportunity
One song
He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl
Find glory
Beyond the cheap colored lights
One song
Before the sun sets
Glory - on another empty life
Time flies - time dies
Glory - one blaze of glory
One blaze of glory - glory
Find
Glory
In a song that rings true
Truth like a blazing fire
An eternal flame
Find
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man
Find
The one song
Before the virus takes hold
Glory
Like a sunset
One song
To redeem this empty life
Time flies
And then - no need to endure anymore
Time dies

Burying me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In her tomb...
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I've decorated like a grave
You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man who won't let himself be
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will not speak no more of my feelings beneath
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
Bury me softly in this womb
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers (Oh I want to be inside of you)
In her tomb
Oh I want to be inside...
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
ahh a beautiful song for a sunday matt, No Excuses one of my fave Alice tracks.
when the rock n' roll professionals roll in to town,
you know they're well paid (you got it)
they'll meet you and they'll greet you, then take to the stage
and work it great (you got it)
When a man can take a stand
And wash his hands
Of his scams
And watch his woman stand unafraid
Aid her in her fight to get paid
Help her get her medicines made
Let her step on out of the shade
And i will call him
Super solid
And i will call him
Super solid
It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
Yes it does
It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
It takes a strongman
Yes it does
Is love sex?
Is the soul vexed ?
Is the earth next ?
We need respect
Can we love outside of the clan ?
Where's the sister in brotherman ?
Back to back
Divided we stand
Can we put some love
In the land?
I will call him supersolid
I will call him supersolid
Conquering, stealing
Wheeling and dealing
Tell me is this planet
Healing?
Conquering, stealing
Wheeling and dealing
Tell me is this planet
Healing?
When a man knows where he came from
He can't tell me I am shameful
And i will call him
Supersolid
I will call him
Supersolid
It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
It takes a strongman
It takes a strongman
He can stop trying
To get even
He will know he's
Here for a reason
To stand beside
His woman in peace
She's got the way
To release him
Life is the riddle
Of which we're caught in the middle.
A couple of lucky ones
Tangled up in too much love
~cowboy junkies
Where the bad folks go when they die.
They don't go to Heaven where the Angels fly.
Go to a Lake of Fire and fry.
See em' again til' the 4th of July.

Don't Wanna Know Lyrics
the refreshments
Ghost town on a Tuesday night
That's o.k. I'm feelin' alright
It's easier to grab a beer
Without a thousand people here
Talkin' to a friend of mine
Ask him man
He'll say he's just fine
Talk of songs and inspiration
Dreams and financial desperation
I wonder where I'll be in a year
Probably be sittin right here
But if you know the answer
Don't tell me anyone
I don't wanna know
Well I don't wanna know
We've been saying we're going go somewhere
For a long long time
Nothing ever happens
Why's it never happen
Ya We've been prayin' we're going get somewhere
For a long long time
But it never happens
Why's it never happen
I wonder where I'll be in a year
Probably be sittin right here
But if you know the answer
Don't tell me anyone
I don't wanna know
Cause I don't wanna know

Lonely two chicken eyes open and staring up at me
Only two lonely eyes, so rare and raging...
Wind it would a come and she would leave you
Wind it would a come and she would go
Wind it would a come and she would leave you
Wind it would a come and she would go
Watchit man, leave it where you lie

Lonely two chicken eyes
Open and staring up at me...
Wait until my momma gonna see me with a you
Take a good look, momma, gonna see me with a you
Take a good look, mama, let me tell you well my momma said "Lie..."
Hey man watch it where you lie, i come into your psyche
You're sleeping - I'm in your mind filled waiting on desire
I was hoping we'd be lonely
I suck up into your...
Why do you run around here
To ask why do you run around me
To ask why do you run around here
Ask why, then, why, then,
ask you silly fuck
I'm going away
Why this lonely, why this lonely
Why this lonely love
Why this lonely, why this lonely
Why this lonely love for me...
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on I will forget
Tell me are you satisfied with fucking?
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I'm talking to...
Lovey don't
Lovey dove

Loving, I'll see you
Love, love, love

Love him - up to you.
Lonely love...

"every show is a great show. bitches...." --twolegsyield
We’ve been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California!
Here we come!
On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing’s gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Thinkin’ of the roar
Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California!
Here we come
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
The first time I saw you
You were chasin' down a cyclone all alone in the field
With railyards and clovers, I kept rollin' on
Never thought you'd wind up chasin' me
Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste, no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane
You're tired of walkin'
And you loathe the ground
The sidewalk will barely touch your feet
Life moves too slowly to hold you down
With ring in hand, you take it out on me
Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane
So get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane
So get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Comments
My head on your chest
Waiting to cave in
From the bottom of my....
Hear your voice again
Could we dim the sun
And wonder where we've been
Maybe you and me
So kiss me like you did
My heart stopped beating
Such a softer sin
I'm melting, I'm melting
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
Now
Never caught my breath
Every second I'm without you I'm a mess
Ever know each other
Trust these words are stones
My cuts are healing
Learning how to love
I'm melting, I'm melting
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
Stay with me, lay with me now
You could stay and watch me fall
And of course I'll ask for help
Just stay with me now
We could lift our heads
Stay in bed and just make love, that's fine
Just stay with me now
I'm melting, I'm melting
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
and I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me lay with me
Stay with me, lay with me
In your eyes
Let's sleep 'til the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes
I'm melting in your eyes
In your eyes
Let's sleep 'til the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes
I Caught Fire ~ The Used
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
Of which we're caught in the middle.
A couple of lucky ones
Tangled up in too much love
~cowboy junkies
You told her good-bye (good-bye)
You sacrificed a good love
To satisfy your pride
Now you wished
That you should have her (have her)
And you feel like such a fool
You let her walk away
Now it just don't feel the same
Gotta blame it on something
Gotta blame it on something
Blame it on the rain (rain)
Blame it on the stars (stars)
Whatever you do don't put the blame on you
Blame it on the rain yeah yeah
You can blame it on the rain
Get
Ooh, ooh (ooh)
I can't, I can't. I can't, can't stand the rain
I can't, I can't. I can't, can't stand the rain
Yeah, yeah
Should've told her you were sorry (sorry) huh
Could of said you were wrong
But no you couldn't do that. No, no
You had to prove you were strong ooh
If you hadn't been so blinded (blinded)
She might still be there with you
You want her back again
But she just don't feel the same
Gotta blame it on something
Gotta blame it on something
Blame it on the rain that was falling, falling
Blame it on the stars that did shine at night
Whatever you do don't put the blame on you
Blame it on the rain yeah yeah
You can blame it on the rain
Cos the rain don't mind
And the rain don't care
You got to blame it on something
(Blame it on the rain)
(Blame it on the stars)
Whatever you do don't put the blame on you
Blame it on the rain yeah, yeah
You can blame it on the rain
Girl
Ooh, ooh (ooh)
Girl
I can't, I can't. I can't, can't stand the rain
I can't, I can't. I can't, can't stand the rain
Get
Girl
(Whatever you do...)
(Blame it on the rain yeah, yeah) x 3
You can blame it on the rain, blame it on the rain,
blame it on the rain baby
(Blame it on the rain yeah yeah)
Blame it on the stars that did shine that night
(Blame it on the rain yeah yeah)
Blame it, blame it on the rain
woo
I'm walking
I'm walking
Walking in the rain
Walking in the rain
(Rain, rain)
(Stars, stars)
Whatever you do don't put the blame on you
(Blame it on the rain)
yeah yeah
(Blame it on the rain)
that keeps falling, falling
(Blame it on the stars)
that did shine that night
Whatever you do don't put the blame on you
Blame it on the rain yeah yeah
Blame it on the rain (rain, rain)
Babe, don't be shy
When you're holding my hand
'Cause this time goes back
You got to understand it's you
Ba ba ba baby in your eyes
I see it so clearly that our love it's so strong
And you never go wrong
I got the best for you so I'm waiting down
If you need someone
Baby call my line
Call me anytime
I'll be there for you, you, you
I've been searching high, high, high
I've been searching low
Ba ba ba ba baby
Don't forget my number
Baby, don't be stronger than a thunder
Ba ba ba ba baby
Don't forget my number
Love will see you through
I've been searching high
I've been searching low
I want to spend spend my life with you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
My desper youth
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Love will see you through
Ba ba baby in your eyes
I see it so clearly
Ba ba ba ba baby
Don't forget my number
Baby, don't be stronger than a thunder
Ba ba ba ba baby
Don't forget my number
Love will see you through
I know what I want
But I just don't know
How to go about getting it
Feeling sweet feeling
Drops from my finger's fenders
Manic depression has capured my soul
Women so willing the sweet cause in vain
You make love
You break love
It's all the same. when it's
When it's over
Music sweet music
I wish I could caress caress caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Well I think I'll go turn myself off and go on down
All the way down
Really ain't no use in me hanging around
I gotta see you
Music sweet music
I wish I could caress and a kiss kiss
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
pavlov hits me with more bad news
every time i answer the phone
so i play and i sing and i just let it ring
all day when i'm at home
a defacto choice of macro
or microcosmic melancholy
but, baby, any way you slice it
i'm thinkin i could just as soon use
the time alone
yes, the goons have gone global
and the CEOs are shredding files
and the democrans and the republicrats
are flashing their toothy smiles
and uncle tom is posing for a photo op
with the oval office clan
and uncle sam is rigging cockfights
in the promised land
and that knife you stuck in my back is still there
it pinches a little when i sigh and moan
and these days i'm thinkin i could just as soon use
the time alone
cuz all the wrong people have the power
of suggestion
and the freedom of the press is meaningless
if nobody asks a question
i mean
causation by definition
is such a complex compilation
of factors
that to even try to say why
is to over simplify
but that's a far cry
isn't it dear?
from acting like you're the only one there
unrepentantly self centered and unfair
enter all suckers scrambling for the scoop
exit mr. eye contact
who took his flirt and flew the coop
but whatever
no matter
no fishin trips
no fishin
cuz mamma's officially out of commission
and did i mention
in there
somewhere
did i mention
somewhere
in there
that i traded babe ruth?
yes, i traded the only player that was bigger than the game
and i can't even tell you why
cuz you'd think i'm insane
and that's the truth
and the music industry mafia is pimping girl power
sniping off their sharp shooter singles from their styrofoam towers
and hip hop is tied up in the back room
with a logo stuffed in its mouth
cuz the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house
but then
i'm getting away from myself
as i get closer and closer to home
and the difference between you and me baby
is i get fucked up
when i'm alone
and i must admit
today my inner pessimist
seems to have got the best of me
we start out sugared up on kool-aid and manifest destiny
and we memorize all the president's names
like little trained monkeys
and then we're spit into the world
so many spinny-eyed t.v. junkies
incapable of unravelling the military industrial mystery
preemptively pacified with history book history
and i've been around the world now
and i can see this about america
the mind control is steep here, man
the myopia is deep here
and behold
those that try to expose the reality
who really try to realize democracy
are shot with rubber bullets and gassed off the streets
while the global power brokers are kept clean and discrete
behind a wall
behind a moat
and that is all
that's all she wrote
and my heart beats an sss o o o sss
cuz folks just couldn't care care care less less less
as long as every day is superbowl sunday
and larger than life women in lingerie
are pouting at us from every bus stop
shelovesme shelovesmenot shelovesme shelovesmenot...
and big government should not stand between a man and his money
i mean "what's good for business is good for the country"
our children still take that lie like communion
the same old line
the confederacy used on the union
conjugate liberty
into libertarian
and medicate it
associate it
with deregulation
privitization
we won't even know we're slaves
on a corporate plantation
somebody say halleluja!
somebody say damnation!
cuz the profit system follows the path of least resistance
and the path of least resistance is what makes the river crooked
makes it serpentine
capitalism is the devil's wet dream
so just give me my judy garland drugs
and let me get back to work
cuz the empire state building
is the tallest building in new york
and i always got the feeling
you just liked to hear it fall
off your tongue
but i remember my name
in your mouth
and i don't think i was done
hearing it close to my ear
on a whisper's way to a moan
but pavlov hits me with more bad news every time i answer the phone
so i play and i sing and i just let it ring all day when i'm at home
a defacto choice of macro
or microcosmic melancholy
but baby, any way you slice it
i'm thinkin i could just as soon use
the time alone
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

I must admit you broke my heart
The awful truth is really sad
I must admit I was awful bad
While lovers laughed and music plays
I stumbled by and I hide my pain
The lamps are lit, the moon is gone
I think I've crossed the Rubicon
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Walked the streets of love
And they're full of tears
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Walked the streets of love
And they are full of tears
While music pumps from passing cars
A couple watched me from above
A band just played the wedding march
and the cornerstore mends broken hearts
A woman asked me for a dance
It's free of charge just one more chance
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Walked the streets of love
And they are full of tears
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Walked the streets of love
For a thousand years
You had the moves, you had the cards
I must admit you were awful smart
The awful truth is awful sad
I must admit I was awful bad
Ahh, ahh, ahh
I walked the streets of love
For a thousand years
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Walked the streets of love
And they're drenched in tears
Memories of being in tears laughing while singing along and dancing in my family room with the phone to my ear. Some of the silliest memories are the best ones!!!
I'm in love with you girl 'cause you're on my mind,
you're the one I think about most every time.
And when you pack a smile in everything you do,
don't you understand, girl, this love is true.
You're soft, succulent so sweet and thin
that's kind of like a vision upon your skin.
It lightens up my day, and that's oh so true.
Together we're one separated we're two.
To make you all mine, all mine is my desire.
'Cause you contain a quality, you that I admire.
You're pretty plain and simple, you rule my world so try to understand.
I'm in love girl,
I'm in so love girl.
I'm just in love girl, and this is true.
Girl, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Yes, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Girl, you know it's true.
My love is for you.
Girl, you know it's true.
My love is for you.
This is some sort of thing, girl, I can't explain,
my emotions starts up when I hear your name.
Maybe your sweet sweet voice would ring in my ear,
then delay my system when you are near.
Come with your positive emotion, love, making enjoyin'
that's for me to bust it's like a girl and a boy.
These feelings I get I often wonder why,
so I thought I might discuss this, girl, just you and I.
Now what you're wearing I don't care, as I've said before,
no reason that I like you, girl, just for what you are.
If I said I'd think about it, you rule my world so try to understand.
I'm in love girl,
I'm in so love girl.
I'm just in love girl, and this is true.
Girl, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Yes, you know it's true.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you.
Girl, you know it's true.
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you every day
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I‘m holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you every day
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you every day
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you every day
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
We'd like to know a little bit about your for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself.
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes,
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home.
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Hide in the hiding place where no one ever goes.
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.
It's a little secret just the Robinsons' affair.
Most of all you've got to hide it from the kids.
Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Going to the candidate's debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio,
Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you.
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson.
Jotting Joe has left and gone away,
Hey hey hey.
Oh where oh where can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so I got to be good
so I can see my baby when I leave this world
we were out on a date in my daddy's car
we hadn't driven very far
there in the road straight ahead
a car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
the screaming tires, the busting glass
the painful scream that I heard last
oh where oh where can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so I got to be good
so I can see my baby when I leave this world
when I woke up the rain was pouring down
there were people standing all around
something warm flowing through my eyes
but somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head she looked at me and said
hold me darling just a little while
I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I had missed
well now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life, that night
oh where oh where can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so I got to be good
so I can see my baby when I leave this world
Hahaha that's a cover of a Supertramp song. The Goo Goo Dolls suck!
That's my girl! You just pulled my first laugh of the day.
You cannot quit me so quickly
There's no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love
The space between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like 'will it rain today?'
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing
We're strange allies
With warring hearts
What wild-eyed beast you be
The space between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
Will I hold you again?
Will I hold...
Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down
The space between
Where you're smiling high
Is where you'll find me if I get to go
The space between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into...
The space between
Our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain
Take my hand
'Cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need here
The space between
What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The space between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
The space between...
Glory
One song
Before I go
Glory
One song to leave behind
Find one song
One last refrain
Glory
From the pretty boy frontman
Who wasted opportunity
One song
He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl
Find glory
Beyond the cheap colored lights
One song
Before the sun sets
Glory - on another empty life
Time flies - time dies
Glory - one blaze of glory
One blaze of glory - glory
Find
Glory
In a song that rings true
Truth like a blazing fire
An eternal flame
Find
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man
Find
The one song
Before the virus takes hold
Glory
Like a sunset
One song
To redeem this empty life
Time flies
And then - no need to endure anymore
Time dies

Silver women on the OMNI magazine
They got the future precisely laid out as I need
That Lux Aeterna sound is so frightening
Holding hands with Lucifer is never that enlightening
So fire it up
Fire it up and the flesh be damned
Fire it up
Yeah that's the ticket now kick out the jams
Engineer the future now
Damn tomorrow, future now
Throw the switches, prime the charge
Yesterday's for Mice & Gods
Life inside the biosphere, dudecahedron fever's here
Sporting scarlet letters of genetic imprection, dear
Love child in the reeds, take a sample for the breed
Should have left him in the stream
Cooing at the smitten queen
So fire it up
Fire it up and the flesh be damned
Fire it up
Yeah that's the ticket now kick out the jams
Engineer the future now
Damn tomorrow, future now
Throw the switches, prime the charge
Yesterday's for Mice & Dogs
Slowly, broken windows, returning to the sand
The economic factors are no longer relevant
That empty city sound is so frightening
Neolithic fear is such a motivating factory
So fire it up
Fire it up and the flesh be damned
Fire it up
Yeah that's the ticket now kick out the jams
Engineer our future now
Damn tomorrow, future now
Throw the switches, prime the charge
Yesterday's for Mice & Dogs

I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In her tomb...
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I've decorated like a grave
You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man who won't let himself be
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will not speak no more of my feelings beneath
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
Bury me softly in this womb
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers (Oh I want to be inside of you)
In her tomb
Oh I want to be inside...
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
ahh a beautiful song for a sunday matt, No Excuses one of my fave Alice tracks.
when the rock n' roll professionals roll in to town,
you know they're well paid (you got it)
they'll meet you and they'll greet you, then take to the stage
and work it great (you got it)
And wash his hands
Of his scams
And watch his woman stand unafraid
Aid her in her fight to get paid
Help her get her medicines made
Let her step on out of the shade
And i will call him
Super solid
And i will call him
Super solid
It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
Yes it does
It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
It takes a strongman
Yes it does
Is love sex?
Is the soul vexed ?
Is the earth next ?
We need respect
Can we love outside of the clan ?
Where's the sister in brotherman ?
Back to back
Divided we stand
Can we put some love
In the land?
I will call him supersolid
I will call him supersolid
Conquering, stealing
Wheeling and dealing
Tell me is this planet
Healing?
Conquering, stealing
Wheeling and dealing
Tell me is this planet
Healing?
When a man knows where he came from
He can't tell me I am shameful
And i will call him
Supersolid
I will call him
Supersolid
It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
It takes a strongman
To stand by a strong woman
It takes a strongman
It takes a strongman
He can stop trying
To get even
He will know he's
Here for a reason
To stand beside
His woman in peace
She's got the way
To release him
Of which we're caught in the middle.

Don't Wanna Know Lyrics
the refreshments
Ghost town on a Tuesday night
That's o.k. I'm feelin' alright
It's easier to grab a beer
Without a thousand people here
Talkin' to a friend of mine
Ask him man
He'll say he's just fine
Talk of songs and inspiration
Dreams and financial desperation
I wonder where I'll be in a year
Probably be sittin right here
But if you know the answer
Don't tell me anyone
I don't wanna know
Well I don't wanna know
We've been saying we're going go somewhere
For a long long time
Nothing ever happens
Why's it never happen
Ya We've been prayin' we're going get somewhere
For a long long time
But it never happens
Why's it never happen
I wonder where I'll be in a year
Probably be sittin right here
But if you know the answer
Don't tell me anyone
I don't wanna know
Cause I don't wanna know

technicaly speaking only half of Nirvana, Kurt & Dave performed it with Chris & Kurt Kirkwood at unplugged.
Pat and Krist watched.

Only two lonely eyes, so rare and raging...
Wind it would a come and she would leave you
Wind it would a come and she would go
Wind it would a come and she would leave you
Wind it would a come and she would go
Watchit man, leave it where you lie
I come for you, a-lightly, I suck up into your mind
We'll leave it all behind I selling you a lonely, I march up into your eyes
Lonely two chicken eyes
Open and staring up at me...
Wait until my momma gonna see me with a you
Take a good look, momma, gonna see me with a you
Take a good look, mama, let me tell you well my momma said "Lie..."
Hey man watch it where you lie, i come into your psyche
You're sleeping - I'm in your mind filled waiting on desire
I was hoping we'd be lonely
I suck up into your...
Why do you run around here
To ask why do you run around me
To ask why do you run around here
Ask why, then, why, then,
ask you silly fuck
I'm going away
Why this lonely, why this lonely
Why this lonely love
Why this lonely, why this lonely
Why this lonely love for me...
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on I will forget
Tell me are you satisfied with fucking?
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I'm talking to...
Lovey don't
Lovey dove
Lovey dove
Lovey dove
Loving, I'll see you
Love, love, love
Love him, I see you
Love, love, love
Love him - up to you.
Lonely love...

On the streets we used to know
And all the things out in the yard
That can hang there to and fro
And if the money isn't right
Can I be yours tonight?
I've an easy heart
From the windows of your house
Reflects back on yourself
Then it gets you wondering'
If it means anything
And if the money isn't right
Can I be yours tonight?
I've had a pretty hard life
I've had a pretty hard life
For such an easy heart
You move away when you're young
They take away where you're from
And all the things out in the trees
Fall away in to the breeze
And if the money isn't right
Can I be yours tonight?
I've had a pretty hard life
I've had a pretty hard life
For such an easy heart
Jason
We’ve been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California!
Here we come!
On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing’s gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Thinkin’ of the roar
Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California!
Here we come
You were chasin' down a cyclone all alone in the field
With railyards and clovers, I kept rollin' on
Never thought you'd wind up chasin' me
Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste, no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane
You're tired of walkin'
And you loathe the ground
The sidewalk will barely touch your feet
Life moves too slowly to hold you down
With ring in hand, you take it out on me
Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane
So get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Settle down
I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste no
Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive
Before you drive me insane
So get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind
Before her work
She looked around every where
She saw the pictures and she painted them
She picked the colors from the air
Green to green
Red to red
Yellow to yellow
In the light
Black to black
When the evening comes
Blue to blue
In the night
It's a long road
Behind me
It's a long road
Ahead
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might
Get
Lost.
She towed the line
She held her end up
She did the work of too many
But in the end
She fell down
Before she got up again
I keep my friends eternally
We leave our tracks in the sound
Some of them are with me now
Some of them can't be found
It's a long road behind me
And I miss you now
If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might
Get
Lost.
