    Well there’s a light in your eye that keeps shining
    Like a star that can’t wait for the night
    I hate to think I’ve been blinded baby
    Why can’t I see you tonight?

    And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin’
    And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
    And I’m shaking so much, really yearning
    Why don’t you show up, make it all right?
    Yeah, it’s all right.

    And if you promised you’d love so completely
    And you said you would always be true
    You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
    What ever happened to you?

    And you thought it was only in movies
    As you wish all your dreams would come true
    It ain’t the first time believe me, baby
    I’m standin here feeling blue
    Yeah I’m blue

    Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
    I’ll watch the people go shuffling downtown
    Another ten minutes no longer
    And then I’m turning around

    The clock on the wall’s moving slower
    My heart it sinks to the ground
    And the storm that I thought would blow over
    Clouds the light of the love that I found

    Now my body is starting to quiver
    And the palms of my hands getting wet
    I’ve got no reason to doubt you baby,
    It’s all a terrible mess

    I’ll run in the rain till I’m breathless
    When I’m breathless I’ll run till I drop, hey
    The thoughts of a fool’s kind of careless
    I’m just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
    Light of the love that I found...
    sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...

    Let me run with you tonight
    I’ll take you on a moonlight ride
    There’s someone I used to see
    But she don’t give a damn for me

    But let me get to the point, let’s roll another joint
    And tu rn the radio loud, I’m too alone to be proud
    You don’t know how it feels
    You don’t know how it feels to be me

    People come, people go
    Some grow young, some grow cold
    I woke up in between
    A memory and a dream

    So let’s get to the point, let’s roll another joint
    Let’s head on down the road
    There’s somewhere I gotta go
    And you don’t know how it feels
    You don’t know how it feels to be me

    My old man was born to rock
    He’s still tryin’ to beat the clock
    Think of me what you will
    I got a little space to fill

    So let’s get to the point, let’s roll another joint
    Let’s head on down the road
    There’s somewhere I gotta go
    And you don’t know how it feels
    No, you don’t know how it feels to be me
    sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...

    It’s all right if you love me
    It’s al l right if you don’t
    I’m not afraid of you runnin’ away
    Honey, I get the feelin’ you won’t

    There is no sense in pretendin’
    Your eyes give you give away
    Something inside you is feelin’ like I do
    We’ve said all there is to say

    Baby, breakdown, go ahead give it to me
    Breakdown, honey take me through the night
    Breakdown, I’m standing here, can you see?
    Breakdown, it’s all right
    It’s all right
    It’s all right

    Breakdown, go ahead give it to me
    Breakdown, honey take me through the night
    Breakdown, I’m standing here, can you see?
    Breakdown, it’s all right
    It’s all right
    It’s all right
    sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...

    Six o'clock in the morning
    You're the last to hear the warning
    You've been trying to throw your arms
    Around the world
    You've been falling off the sidewalk
    Your lips move but you can't talk
    Tryin' to throw your arms around the world

    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Be still
    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Woman I will

    Sunrise like a nosebleed
    Your head hurts and you can't breathe
    You been tryin' to throw you arms around the world
    How far you gonna go
    Before you lose your way back home
    You've been trying to throw your arms
    Around the world

    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Woman be still
    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Woman I will

    Yeah, I dreamed that I saw Dali
    With a supermarket trolley
    He was trying to throw his arms around a girl
    He took an open top beetle
    Through the eye of a needle
    He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world

    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Woman be still
    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Oh, Woman I will

    (And you just gotta, you just gotta make your faith...see...)

    Nothin' much to say I guess
    Just the same as all the rest
    Been trying to throw your arms around the world
    And a woman needs a man
    Like a fish needs a bicycle
    When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world

    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Woman be still
    Woman be still
    Be still
    Woman be still
    Woman I will
    sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...

    I' ve been waiting for you
    I' ve been waiting for you
    Never found enything else to do
    But waiting for you

    I' ve been calling your name
    I' ve been calling your name
    Never found anything else to say
    Nothing to say

    You can kill a lot of time if you really want put your mind do it
    Leave it all behind if you never wanna go through it

    I keep hearing your name
    I keep hearing your name
    Nothing else sounds the same
    As hearing your name

    You can kill a lot of time if you really put your mind to it
    Or leave it all behind and never ever go through it

    I' ve been hoping for you
    Keep hoping for you
    What else can I do
    But keep hoping for you?

    You can kill a lot of time if you really put your mind to it
    Or leave it all behind and never ever go through it

    We can kill a lot and never really have to go through it

    What else can I do
    But keep hoping for you?
    "You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."

    Listen dear
    I need you to hear
    I cannot disappear
    I've tried again and again
    And again and again

    I know we said
    That we'd given up
    You said we'd had enough
    Again and again and again

    But you, you're always on my mind
    It's like this all the time
    Say it's 'cause you're mine
    All mine

    And if you will, I will
    Try to let it go
    And if you try, I'll try
    Try to let it show us the way
    'Cause love is here to stay
    Just look me in the eye
    This is do or die
    And I will stay in love
    'Til you say enough
    There is no giving in
    There is no giving up
    In love

    Walk down the street
    Stare at lots of things
    The fast and steady streams
    Again and again and again

    Do what I should
    Try to stay busy
    Your face is all I see
    Again and again and again

    But you, you're always on my mind
    It's like this all the time
    Say it's 'cause you're mine
    All mine

    And if you will, I will
    Try to let it go
    And if you try, I'll try
    Try to let it show us the way
    'Cause love is here to stay
    Just look me in the eye
    This is do or die
    And I will stay in love
    'Til you say enough
    There is no giving in
    There is no giving up
    In love

    Like a movie I once saw
    In the darkness I recall
    Feeling the beauty and the pain
    And when you call my name
    Say you feel the same

    Cause' if you will, I will
    Try to let it go
    And if you try, I'll try
    Try to let it show

    And if you will, I will
    Try to let it go
    And if you try, I'll try
    Try to let it show us the way
    'Cause love is here to stay
    Just look me in the eye
    This is do or die
    And I will stay in love
    'Til you say enough
    There is no giving in
    There is no giving up in love
    In love, in love

    I cannot disappear
    I've tried again and again
    Again and again...
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet. 
  • I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes..&..I certainly haven't been spreading myself around. I still only travel by foot, & by foot is a slow climb. But I'm good @ being uncomfortable, so I can't stop changing all the time. I've noticed that my opponant is always on the go & won't go slow so not to focus & i noticed...he'll hitch a ride w/ any guide, long as they go fast from whence he came. But he's no good @ being uncomfortable, so he can't stop staying exactly the same.

    If there was a better way to go, then it would find me. I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me. Be kind to me..or treating me mean, I'll make the most of it, I'm an extroidinary machine.

    The animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness.
    A baby cried hard in an apartment complex, as I pass a car buried under the influence.
    The city is driving me out of my mind.I have seen a child is caught in the sad trap of gravity.
    He falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree and lands in the grass and weeps for his dignity.
    Next time he will not aim so high.
    Yeah, next time, neither will I.A mother takes loans out, sends her kids off to colleges.
    Her family is reduced to names on a shopping list.
    Meanwhile, a coroner kneels beneath a great, wooden crucifix.
    He know that there are worse things than being alone.I have learned to retreat at the first sign of danger.
    I mean, why wait around, if it's just to surrender?
    Ambition, I have found, can only lead to failure.
    I do not read the reviews.
    No, I am not singing for you.I stood dropping a coin into the pit of a well.
    And I would throw my whole billfold if I thought it would help.
    With all these wishes I make, I should by something great, at least a telephone call home.My teachers, they built the retaining wall memory, all those multiple choices I answered so quickly.
    And I got my grades back and forgot just as easily, but as least I got an A.
    So I don't have them to blame.
    I should stop pointing fingers; reserve my judgment of all those public action figures, the cowboy president.
    So loud behind the bullhorn so proud they can't admit when they have made a mistake.While poison ink spews from a speechwriter's pen, he knows that he doesn't have to say it, so it don't bother him.
    "Honesty" "Accuracy" are really just "Popular Opinion." And the approval rating is high, so someone is going to die.
    ABC, NBC, CBS: Bullshit.
    They give us fact or fiction?
    I guess an even split.
    And each new act of war is tonight's entertainment.
    We are still the pawns in their game.
    As they take an eye for an eye until no one can see, we must stumble blindly forward, repeating history.
    Well, I guess that we all fit into your slogan on the fast food marquee: Red blooded, White skinned oh and the Blues.
    I got the Blues!
    I got the Blues!
    That's me!
    That's me!Well, I awoke in relief.
    My sheets and tubes were all tangled weak from whiskey and pills, in a Chicago hospital.
    My father was there, in a chair, by the window, staring so far away.
    I tried talking, just whispered, "...so sorry...so selfish..." He stopped me and said, "Child I love you regardless and there is nothing you could do that would ever change this.
    I'm not angry.
    It happens.
    You just can't do it again."So now I try to keep up, I have been exchanging my currency.
    While a million objects pass through my periphery.
    So now I am rubbing my eyes because they are starting to bother me.
    I have been staring too long at the screen.
    But where was it when I first heard the sound of brutality?
    It came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody.
    How grateful I was them to be part of the mystery, to love and be loved.
    Let's just hope that is enough.

    If you walk away, I’ll walk away
    First tell me which road you will take
    I don’t want to risk our paths crossing some day
    So you walk that way, I’ll walk this way
    And the future hangs over our heads
    And it moves with each current event
    Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain
    Just stay in when it’s looking this way

    And the moon’s laying low in the sky
    Forcing everything metal to shine
    And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
    They argue walk this way, now walk this way

    And Laura’s asleep in my bed
    As I’m leaving she wakes up and says
    “I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave
    Baby don’t go away, come here”

    And there’s kids playing guns in the street
    And ones pointing his tree branch at me
    So I put my hands up I say “enough is enough,
    If you walk away, I’ll walk away”
    And he shot me dead

    I found a liquid cure
    From my landlocked blues
    It’ll pass away like a slow parade
    It’s leaving but I don’t know how soon

    And the world’s got me dizzy again
    You think after 22 years I’d be used to the spin
    And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
    So I’m always pacing around or walking away
    I keep drinking the ink from my pen
    And I’m balancing history books up on my head
    But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
    If you love something, give it away

    A good woman will pick you apart
    A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
    But you may be offended and you may be afraid
    But don’t walk away, don’t walk away

    We made love on the living room floor
    With the noise in background of a televised war
    And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
    “If we walk away, they’ll walk away”

    But greed is a bottomless pit
    And our freedom’s a joke
    We’re just taking a piss
    And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
    If you’re still free start running away
    Cause we’re coming for you!

    I’ve grown tired of holding this post
    I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
    So I’m making a deal with the devils of faith
    Saying “let me walk away, please”
    You’ll be free child once you have died
    From the shackles of language and immeasurable time
    And then we can trade places, play musical grace
    Till then walk away, walk away

    So I’m up at dawn
    Putting on my shoes
    I just want to make a clean escape
    I’m leaving but I don’t know where to
    I know I’m leaving but I don’t know where to

    You became a legend of the silver screen
    And now the thought of meeting you
    Makes me weak in the knee.

    Oh honey pie you are driving me frantic
    Sail across the Atlantic
    To be where you belong.
    Her?

    I remember the way
    Driving home late
    Speeding all the way
    Alone in the rain
    I was rehearsing a part
    From down at the bar
    My mouth smelled like a drink
    We were laughing, I think
    I’ve been away

    Do you pick up your phone
    Do you check your mail
    Do you answer your door even if it’s late?
    I don’t know who to call
    I don’t know who to write
    And I think I forgot
    What your face looks like
    I’ve been away

    Do you think that I’ve changed
    I swear I never tried
    Memory is a terrible thing
    When you use it right
    I was rehearsing a part
    From down at the bar
    My mouth smelled like a drink
    We were laughing, I think
    I’ve been away
    I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

    LONDON - The Irish band U2 has given Britain its favorite song lyric, according to a survey released Monday.

    The line "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers" from the 1992 song "One" topped a poll conducted by music channel VH1.

    Runner-up was the downbeat "So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die" from The Smiths' "How Soon is Now."

    A line from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" — "I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us" — came third. Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" and Coldplay's "Yellow" took fourth and fifth places.

    The top 10 was a mix of the affirmative and the acerbic, ranging from
    Robbie Williams' uplifting "Angels" — "And through it all she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong" — to Radiohead's sour "Creep."

    Is it getting better
    Or do you feel the same
    Will it make it easier on you now
    You got someone to blame
    You say...

    One love
    One life
    When it's one need
    In the night
    One love
    We get to share it
    Leaves you baby if you
    Don't care for it

    Did I disappoint you
    Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
    You act like you never had love
    And you want me to go without
    Well it's...

    Too late
    Tonight
    To drag the past out into the light
    We're one, but we're not the same
    We get to
    Carry each other
    Carry each other
    One...

    Have you come here for forgiveness
    Have you come to raise the dead
    Have you come here to play Jesus
    To the lepers in your head

    Did I ask too much
    More than a lot
    You gave me nothing
    Now it's all I got
    We're one
    But we're not the same
    Well we
    Hurt each other
    Then we do it again
    You say
    Love is a temple
    Love a higher law
    Love is a temple
    Love the higher law
    You ask me to enter
    But then you make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what you got
    When all you got is hurt

    One love
    One blood
    One life
    You got to do what you should
    One life
    With each other
    Sisters
    Brothers
    One life
    But we're not the same
    We get to
    Carry each other
    Carry each other

    One...life

    One
    sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...

    Lord, I miss that girl
    On the day we met the sun was shining down
    Down on the valley
    Riddled with horses running
    Crushing them with flowers
    I would have picked for her
    On the day she was born
    She runs through my veins like a long black river
    And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm
    Oh my soul



    What does it mean?
    What does it mean?
    What does it mean to be so sad?
    When someone you love
    Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
    What do you do
    How do you keep love alive?
    When it won't
    What, what are the words
    They use when they know it's over
    "We need to talk," or
    "I'm confused, maybe later you can come over"
    I would've held your mother's hand
    On the day you was born
    She runs through my veins
    Like a long black river and rattles my cage
    Like a thunderstorm
    Oh, my soul
    What does it mean?
    What does it mean?
    What does it mean to be so sad?
    When someone you love
    Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
    What do you do
    How do you keep love alive?
    When it won't
    How do you keep love alive?
    I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

    My shadow's
    Shedding skin and
    I've been picking
    Scabs again
    I'm down
    Digging through
    My old muscles
    Looking for a clue

    I've been crawling on my belly
    Clearing out what could've been
    I've been wallowing in my own confused
    And insecure delusions
    For a piece to cross me over
    Or a word to guide me in
    I wanna feel the changes coming down
    I wanna know what I've been hiding in

    My shadow
    Change is coming through my shadow
    My shadow's shedding skin
    I've been picking
    My scabs again

    I've been crawling on my belly
    Clearing out what could've been
    I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
    And insecure delusions

    I wanna feel the change consume me,
    Feel the outside turning in
    I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
    Cleansing I've endured within

    My shadow
    Change is coming
    Now is my time
    Listen to my muscle memory
    Contemplate what I've been clinging to
    Forty six and two ahead of me

    I choose to live and to
    Grow, take and give and to
    Move, learn and love and to
    Cry, kill and die and to
    Be paranoid and to
    Lie, hate and fear and to
    Do what it takes to move through

    I choose to live and to
    Lie, kill and give and to
    Die, learn and love and to
    Do what it takes to step through

    See my shadow changing,
    Stretching up and over me
    Soften this old armor
    Hoping I can clear the way
    By stepping through my shadow,
    Coming out the other side
    Step into the shadow
    Forty six and two are just ahead of me
    The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
    And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides

    Big man stands behind an open door
    Said, leave your lady on the cement floor

    got some kicks, want to take a ride?
    I said, yeah!
    take your pick, leave yourself behind
    I said, yeah!

    I've no fear but for falling down
    So look out below I am falling now
    Oh please understand I just need, my friend,
    a way a way a way home

    Tried to walk, found a severed hand
    Recognized it by the wedding band

    Said it's ok, do you want some more?
    I said, yeah!
    Said You'll see dragons after 3 or 4
    I said, yeah!

    Under stand I'm not falling down
    I said, look around, the rooms taller now,
    I can't close my eyes, 'cause I see the sound in waves
    In waves, lets me stay calm

    If I don't lose control
    Explore and not explode
    A preternatural other plane
    With the power to maintain

    Like a tear in all we know
    Once dissolved we are free to grow
    What is human, what is more?
    I'll answer this when I get home
    sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...
  • You're as tight as a hunter's trap
    Hidden well, what are you concealing
    Poker face, carved in stone
    Amongst friends, but all alone
    Why do you hide

    Say something, say something, anything
    I've shown you everything
    Give me a sign
    Say something, say something, anything
    Your silence is deafening
    Pay me in kind

    Take a drug to set you free
    Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
    You've got to come down soon
    More than a drug is what I need
    Need a change of scenery
    Need a new life

    Say something, say something anything
    I've shown you everything
    Give me a sign
    Say something, say something, anything
    Your silence is deafening
    Pay me in kind

    Say something

    I'm open wide, open wondering
    Have you swallowed everything
    Pay me in kind
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    I felt the earth on Monday
    It moved beneath my feet
    In the form of a morning paper
    Laid out for me to see
    Saw his face in a color picture
    I recognized the name
    Could not stop staring at the
    Face I’d never see again

    It’s a shame to awake in a world of pain
    What does it mean when
    the war is taking over?
    It’s the same every day
    I heard my name
    Why can’t they say that
    The world be left to hold her

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    Medals on a wooden mantle
    Next to a handsome face
    That the President took for granted
    Writing checks that others pay
    And in all the madness
    Thought becomes numb and naive
    So much to talk about
    And nothing for us to say

    It’s the same every day
    And the wave won’t break
    Tell you to pray while
    the devil’s on his shoulder
    Laying claims to the tainted soldier said
    I’m not a quitting
    The truth’s already out there

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    Looking in the eyes of the fallen
    You’ve got to know there’s another
    Another
    Another
    Another
    Another

    waaaaayyyyyyyyyyy

    It’s a shame to awake in a world of pain
    What does it mean when
    the war is taking over
    It’s the same every day
    And the wave won’t break
    Tell you to pray while
    the devil’s on his shoulder

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide
    sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...
  • Tonight you've caught your breath
    You've lost your American spirit
    If only I could catch my death
    Just 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 rasp back and forth
    An through our thoughts the past does dance

    Do I waste my time
    Yea well you know it
    An as I stroll through the room
    See my features show it

    Feel the hand on my shoulder
    It calls me to dwell
    Take a breath hard an clear
    Like a hammer on a church bell
    ~It is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not - ?~

    ~You laugh because I am different, I laugh because you are all the fucking same -?~

    ~Education is the most powerfull weapon you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela~
  • Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
    Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
    If I said that you're my friend
    And our love would never end
    How long before I had your trust again
    I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
    Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
    But how can I protect you
    Or try not to neglect you
    When you won't take the love I have to give
    I bought me an illusion
    An I put it on the wall
    I let it fill my head with dreams
    And I had to have them all
    But oh the taste is never so sweet
    As what you'd believe it is-
    Well I guess it never is
    It's these prejudiced illusions
    That pump the blood
    To the heart of the biz

    You know I never thought
    That it could take so long
    You know I never knew how to be strong
    Yeah, I let you shape me
    But I feel as though you raped me
    'Cause you climbed inside my world
    And in my songs
    So now I've closed the door
    To keep the cold outside
    Seems somehow I've found the will to live
    But how can I forget you
    Or try not to reject you
    When we both know it takes time to forgive

    Sweetness is a virtue
    And you lost your virtue long ago
    You know I'd like to hurt you
    But my conscience always tells me no
    You could sell your body on the street
    To anyone whom you might meet
    Who'd love to try and get inside
    And bust your innocence open wide

    'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
    My baby's gone off the track
    My baby's got a locomotive
    Got ta peel the bitch off my back
    I know it looks like I'm insane
    Take a closer look I'm not to blame
    No

    Gonna have some fun with my frustration
    Gonna watch the big screen in my head
    I'd rather take a detour
    'Cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
    Your train of thought has cut me off again
    Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
    Better tame that boy for he's a man
    Sweetheart don't make me laugh
    You's gettin' too big for your pants
    And I's think maybe you should
    Cut out while you can
    You can use you illusion-
    Let it take you where it may
    We live and learn
    And then sometimes it's best to walk away
    Me I'm just here hangin' on
    It's my only place to stay at least
    For now anyway
    I've worked too hard for my illusions
    Just to throw them all away

    I'm taking time for quiet consolation
    In passing by this love that's passed away
    I know it's never easy-
    So why should you believe me
    When I've always got so many things to say
    Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
    'Cause playful hearts
    Can sometimes be enraged
    You know I tried to wake you-
    I mean how long could it take you
    To open up your eyes and turn the page

    Kindness is a treasure-
    And it's one towards me you've seldom shown
    So I'll say it for good measure
    To all the ones like you I've known
    Ya know I'd like to shave your head
    And all my friends could paint it red
    'Cause love to me's a two way street
    An all I really want is peace

    But my baby's got a locomotive
    My baby's gone off the track
    My baby's got a locomotive
    Got ta peel the bitch off my back
    I know it looks like I'm insane
    Take a closer look I'm not to blame
    No

    Affection is a blessing
    Can you find it in your sordid heart
    I tried to keep this thing ta-gether
    But the tremor tore my pad apart
    Yeah I know it's hard to face
    When all we've worked for's gone to waste
    But you're such a stupid woman
    And I'm such a stupid man
    But love like time's got its own plans

    'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
    My baby's gone off the track
    My baby's got a locomotive
    Got ta peel the bitch off my back
    I know it looks like I'm insane
    Take a closer look I'm not to blame
    Yeah
    If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane

    Love's so strange

    All my friends got flowers in their eyes
    But I got none this season
    All of last year's blooms have gone and died
    Time doesn't give a reason
    well hey maybe you ask yourself
    Sometimes what you need to be forgiven
    Everything that you ever done wrong
    Is the reason that I'm driven
    Straight to tears
    Waiting here for you
    Wanting to tell you
    How I get me ends and my beginnings mixed up, too
    Just the way you do
    I thought if I told you
    You might want to stay for just another day or two
    It's just like answers that come in small packages that go in the mail
    Waiting for the trains that just never come
    Beginning to believe in
    The disappearing nature of the people we have been
    We have begun to change
    Into the worst kind of people
    So unkind Oh apologies
    No apologies
    This apology doesn't describe
    The way it feels to feel for you
    Waiting here for you
    Wanting to tell you
    How I find myself slowly disappearing, too
    Just the way you do
    I thought if I told you
    You might want to help me to remain with you
    I just wanna stay for a little while
    I wanna stay a little while
    Oh, come on
    Cause there's a night life just falling down on me
    I just feel like a change
    Beneath the sun in the summer a sea of flowers
    Won't bloom without the rain
    But oh this desert life
    This high life
    Here at the dying end of the day
    I wasn't made for the scene, baby
    But I was made in this scene, baby
    It's just my way
    I don't wanna go home alone
    I wanna come on home to you
    Waiting here for you
    Wanting to tell you
    How I line my sky with all the silver I can use
    Just the way you do
    I thought if I told you
    You might want to stay for just another day or two
    Isn't that just like disappearing into the sum of yourself
    and the person you are disappearing into
    it's like one plus one equals nothing at all
    one plus two equals nothing at all
    one plus me equals nothing at all
    one plus you equals one plus you equals you equals
    you and you and you and
    nothing at all

    "this dream never ends" you said
    "this feel never goes
    The time will never come to slip away"
    "this wave never breaks" you said
    "this sun never sets again
    These flowers will never fade"
    "this world never stops" you said
    "this wonder never leaves
    The time will never come to say goodbye"
    "this tide never turns" you said
    "this night never falls again
    These flowers will never die"

    Never die
    Never die
    These flowers will never die

    "this dream always ends" i said
    "this feeling always goes
    The time always comes to slip away"
    "this wave always breaks" i said
    "this sun always sets again

    And these flowers will always fade"
    "this world always stops" i said
    "this wonder always leaves
    The time always comes to say goodbye"
    "this tide always turns" i said
    "this night always falls again
    And these flowers will always die"

    Always die
    Always die
    These flowers will always die

    Between you and me
    It's hard to ever really know
    Who to trust
    How to think
    What to believe
    Between me and you
    It's hard to ever really know
    Who to choose
    How to feel
    What to do

    Never fade
    Never die
    You give me flowers of love

    Always fade
    Always die
    I let fall flowers of blood

    Out under the stars
    Dodging them night cars, babe
    'Cause when you gotta move, you gotta move
    Whatever that it was
    You were thinking of, babe
    You're certainly not thinking of that now

    Nightbirds sing
    In an empty tune
    In an empty house
    In an empty room
    An empty moment
    All the nightbirds sing
    We were suppose to rise above
    But we sink
    Into the ocean

    I feel like a body stuffed into a trunk
    From a million years of lying and getting drunk
    The people here inside me
    They are loud and in the night
    They scream and smash the windows
    When they fight

    Nightbirds sing
    In an empty tune
    In an empty house
    In an empty room
    Empty feelings
    When it comes too soon
    We were supposed to rise above
    We were supposed to rise above
    But we sink
    Into the ocean
    Into the ocean....
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.

    Happiness
    More or less
    It's just a change in me
    Something in my liberty
    Oh, my, my
    Happiness
    Coming and going
    I watch you look at me
    Watch my fever growing
    I know just where I am

    But how many corners do I have to turn?
    How many times do I have to learn
    All the love I have is in my mind?

    But I'm a lucky man
    With fire in my hands

    Happiness
    Something in my own place
    I'm stood here naked
    Smiling, I feel no disgrace
    With who I am

    Happiness
    Coming and going
    I watch you look at me
    Watch my fever growing
    I know just who I am

    But how many corners do I have to turn?
    How many times do I have to learn
    All the love I have is in my mind?

    I hope you understand
    I hope you understand

    Gotta love that'll never die

    Happiness

    there'll be time for laughin'
    there's no time to cry
    soon i will be leavin'
    look me in the eye
    no matter what's in front of me
    it's your face that i'll see
  • vmfuryvmfury Posts: 1,091
    I have to block out thoughts of you, so I don't loose my head
    They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
    Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone
    Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
    There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
    An ounce of peace is all I want for you
    Will you never call again?
    And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face
    And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted this

    Hate me today
    Hate me tomorrow
    Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
    Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow
    Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

    I'm sober now for 3 whole months
    It's one accomplishment that you helped me with
    The one thing that always tore us apart
    Is the one thing that I won't touch again
    In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
    While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
    You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
    You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
    So I'll drive so fucking far away that I'll never cross your mind
    And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

    Hate me today
    Hate me tomorrow
    Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
    Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow
    Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

    And when the sad hard eyes say bye to you and wave
    Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I have made
    And like a baby boy who never was a man
    Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
    And then I found out I can't make it go away, just make it stop
    Come back and shine just like it used to be
    And then I whispered "How could you do this to me?"

    Hate me today
    Hate me tomorrow
    Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
    Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow
    Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you
    For you, for you, for you...
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.

    I'm a living sunset
    Lightning in my bones
    Push me to the edge
    But my will is stone

    Fools will be fools
    And wise will be wise
    But I will look this world
    Straight in the eyes

    What good is a man
    Who won't take a stand
    What good is a cynic
    With no better plan

    Reality is sharp
    It cuts at me like a knife
    Everyone I know
    Is in the fight of their life

    Take your face out of your hands
    And clear your eyes
    You have a right to your dreams
    And don't be denied

    I believe in a better way
    "You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."

    ooh whoa, much more than this
    oh see the world
    much more than...
    oh, much more than...why?
    "You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."

    The dexterity of luck – June of ‘44

    Said; I don't mean to shock ya,
    but I’m gonna tell ya 'bout my chakra,
    and about the accidental conception
    of the particle board for ya...OK now uh...

    She's punch drunk,...abbreviated.
    Outside the passenger window
    an open mouth in the form of a butterfly catching net.
    The stars see her cold black eyes
    just above the belly of Texas

    She says; I’m gonna get some opinion and I’m
    going to put it in ya.
    Watch you foam at the mouth
    and try and sing today.
    It's impossible to gauge the path
    of a reciprocal conversation.
    We'll just pass the exit to Bombay
    first mile reminiscent of a flock of snow geese
    landing on a glass pond.

    She says one last thing.
    Hey wait a minute, just one last thing;
    Don’t forget to pick the needle up off the lock groove.

    Its impossible to gauge the belly of Texas!
    ...conversation...butterfly catching net.
    Cold black eyes landing on a glass pond,
    accidental conception.
    Abbreviated outside the passenger window
    she said one last thing.
    Yeah just one last thing;
    Don't forget to pick the needle up off the lock groove.
    « One man's glory is another man's hell.
    You’re on the outside, never bound by such a spell.
    Together in the darkness, alone in the light.
    I took it upon me to be yours, Timmy,
    I’ll lead your angels and demons at play tonight......»
