I was bored in English class and wrote these down. Before you ask, I don't know where it came from. It does not relate to me whatsoever. I'm thinking of using it for my band. They're my first lyrics that I haven't crumpled up in complete disgust...so a start, I guess. what do you guys think?

(no title yet)

There's this place called heaven
I heard about it all my life
And on this long and lonely path
That place sounds pretty nice
I never had to struggle much
And life's been very smooth
Just an ordinary child
Who was never told the truth

CHORUS

Don't think I don't hear you laughing
I just choose not to acknowledge you
I know I behave a little strangely
And I hold my tongue
So I'm not tempted - to waste my breath on you

I am not the way I am
Can't anyone understand?
So that I can be your freak show
Can't anyone comprehend?
I don't want to be your sideshow
So I think I'll just ignore
Ignore and think about heaven
Have you ever tried thinking before?

REPEAT CHORUS

How I'd like to drift away
And how I know I have to stay
On the twisting winding path
And sing my own sweet sad song
But I can still say nothing
And I can still have something
I can still wonder
I can still stay strong

REPEAT CHORUS

Don't think I don't hear you laughing
I just choose not to acknowledge you
I live in heaven - it's right here in my mind...
And I don't want to waste my breath on you.
I've noticed that our senators
have very funny names.
Like Lincoln, Zell, and Saxby.
What's wrong with things like "James"?
I think that this is crazy.
I think that it should stop.
I think this is the reason
They confirmed John Ashcroft.

  • All right...thanks! I'll probably have my bassist right most of the music, she's better than I am at that kind of thing.

    Good start, strong feelings.
    Stick with it....

    If you think you can find heaven,
    look about you,
    'cause, as Pete Yorn says,
    it already is....

    Yeah. It's an all-girl band. We had a male drummer when we started out, but he quit.
