    .dont you know the game?...Just a slip away......
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    A Strange Day"

    Give me your eyes
    That I might see the blind man kissing my hands
    The sun is humming
    My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees
    As he plays on his knees

    And the sand
    And the sea grows
    I close my eyes
    Move slowly through drowning waves
    Going away on a strange day

    And I laugh as I drift in the wind
    Blind
    Dancing on a beach of stone
    Cherish the faces as they wait for the end
    Sudden hush across the water
    And we're here again

    And the sand
    And the sea grows
    I close my eyes
    Move slowly through drowning waves
    Going away
    On a strange day

    My head falls backs
    And the walls crash down
    And the sky
    And the impossible
    Explode
    Held for one moment I remember a song
    An impression of sound
    Then everything is gone
    Forever

    A strange day
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    Let me introduce myself I'm a social disease
    I've come for your wealth leave you on your knees
    No time for feeling sorry, I got here on my own
    I won't ask for mercy, I choose to walk alone

    What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine too
    If you shake my hand better count your fingers


    Peace

    The girl was never there
    It's always the same
    I'm running towards nothing
    Again and again and again and again...

    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end

    Of our elaborate plans, the end
    Of everything that stands, the end
    No safety or surprise, the end
    I'll never look into your eyes...again ...

    Can you picture what will be
    So limitless and free
    Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
    In a...desperate land .....

    If you can play on the fiddle
    How's about a British jig and reel?
    Speaking King's English in quotation
    As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust water froze
    In the generation
    Clear as winter ice
    This is your paradise

    There ain't no need for ya
    Go straight to hell boys

    Y'wanna join in a chorus
    Of the Amerasian blues?
    When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City
    Kiddie say papa papa papa papa-san take me home
    See me got photo photo
    Photograph of you
    Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
    Of you and Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
    Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
    It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice.

    Hey, I ain't never coming
    Home
    Hey, I'll just wander my
    Own road
    Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
    Say goodbye don't follow
    Misery so hollow

    Hey you, you're livin'
    Life full throttle
    Hey you, pass me down that
    Bottle, yeah
    Hey you, you can't shake
    Me round now
    I get so lost and don't
    Know how
    And it hurts to care, so I won't now

    Forgot my woman, lost my
    Friends
    Things I'd done and where
    I've been
    Sleep in sweat the mirrors
    Cold
    See my face it's growin'
    Old
    Scared to death no reason
    Why
    Do whatever to get me by
    Think about the things I
    Said
    Read the page it's cold
    And dead

    Take me home
    Yeah, take me home
    Take me home
    Take me home, yeah
    Take me home

    Say goodbye, don't follow

    I want to say a little something that’s long overdue / the disrespect to women has got to be through / To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends / I wanna offer my love and respect till the end

    Bonnie Raitt, ho.ly. crap.


    I've had bad dreams too many times
    To think that they don't mean much anymore
    Fine times have gone and left my sad home
    Friends who once cared just walk out my door
    Love has no pride when I call out your name

    Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame
    I'd give anything to see you again
    I've been alone too many nights
    To think that you could come back again
    And I've heard you talk, "she's crazy to stay"
    But this love hurts me so, I don't care what you say

    Love has no pride when I call out your name
    Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame
    I'd give anything to see you again

    If I could buy your love, I'd truly try, my friend
    And if I could pray, my prayer would never end
    But if you want me to beg, I'll fall down on my knees
    Asking for you to come back, I'd be pleading for you to come back
    Begging for you to come back to me

    Love has no pride when I call out your name
    Love has no pride when there's no one but myself to blame
    I'd give anything to see you again
    Yes, I'd give anything to see you again

    Here is the thing . when you paste an entire song, people just skip over it. So try to keep it to a verse or so if you want it to be effective. :D When I say people, I mean me.

    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    I would tell you that sometimes it’s easier to desire
    and pursue the attention and admiration of 100 strangers
    than it is to accept the love and loyalty
    of those closest to me

    And I would tell you that sometimes
    I prefer to look at myself
    through someone else’s eyes
    Eyes that aren’t clouded with the tears of knowing
    what an asshole I can be, as yours are.

    If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
    I might be able to listen in silence to your concerns
    rather than hearing everything as an accusation
    or an indictment against me

    I would tell you that sometimes
    I use sex to avoid communication
    it’s the best escape when we’re down on our luck
    But I can express more emotions than laughter, anger, and let’s fuck

    Unchain the colors before my eyes,
    Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies.
    Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher,
    I shall return from out of the fire.

    Tears for remembrance, and tears for joy,
    Tears for somebody not this lonely boy.
    Out in the madness, the all seeing eye,
    Flickers above us, to light up the sky.

    Unchain the colors before my eyes,
    Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies.
    Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher,
    I shall return from out of the fire.

    The only place where you can dream,
    Living here is not what it seems.
    Ship of white light in the sky,
    Nobody there to reason why.
    Here I am, I'm not really there,
    Smiling faces ever so rare.
    A let's walk in deepest space,
    Living here just isn't the place.

    Stalks of light come from the ground,
    When I cry there isn't a sound.
    All my feelings cannot be held,
    I'm happy in my new strange world.
    Shades of green grasses twine,
    Girls drinking plasma wine.
    A look at love, a dream unfolds,
    Living here, you'll never grow old.

    Don't you hear me call? ooh
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    On the edge of a windowsill
    Ponders his maker, ponders his will
    To the street below, he just ain't nothin'
    But he's got a great view and he sinks the needle deep
    Whoa, can't touch the bottom
    In too deep, yeah, oh, can't touch the bottom
    Oh, on the edge of a know-nothin' town
    Feelin' quite superior, the aged come
    To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
    But he's got a great view and he sinks a burning knife deep
    Can't touch the bottom
    In too deep, yeah, uh huh, can't touch the bottom
    In too deep

    On the edge of a christmas clean love
    Young virgin from heaven, visiting Hell
    To the man above her, she just ain't nothin'
    And she doesn't like the view
    She doesn't like the view
    She doesn't like the view but he sinks himself deep
    Oh, can't touch the bottom
    In too deep, yeah, oh, can't touch the bottom
    Can’t touch the bottom, deep

    The bottom, the bottom, the bottom, the bottom, the bottom

    Don't it make you smile?
    Don't it make me smile?
    When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all
    Don't it make me smile?

    I miss you already... I miss you always
    I miss you already... I miss you all day
    This is how I feel...
    "Where's KW?"
    "Let's check Idaho."

    I jumped out the window to get to the parking lot
    I'm writing this little song on my way down
    Never in my life have I felt a heat so hot
    I had to get out

    Such a lovely day to go flying
    The sky's so clear, the sun is shining
    Fate has given me wings
    Such a terrible funny thing

    "From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea"

    every time we do this
    i fall for her
    wave after wave after wave
    it's all for her
    i know this can't be wrong i say
    (and i'll lie to keep her happy)
    as long as i know that you know
    that today i belong
    right here with you
    right here with you...

    and so we watch the sun come up
    from the edge of the deep green sea
    and she listens like her head's on fire
    like she wants to believe in me
    so i try
    put your hands in the sky
    surrender
    remember
    we'll be here forever
    and we'll never say goodbye...

    i've never been so
    colourfully-see-through-head before
    i've never been so
    wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
    and all i want is to keep it like this
    you and me alone
    a secret kiss
    and don't go home
    don't go away
    don't let this end
    please stay
    not just for today

    never never never never never let me go she says
    hole me like this for a hundred thousand million days
    but suddenly she slows
    and looks down at my breaking face
    why do you cry? what did i say?
    but it's just rain i smile
    brushing my tears away...

    i wish i could just stop
    i know another moment will break my heart
    too many tears
    too many times
    too many years i've cried over you

    how much more can we use it up?
    drink it dry?
    take this drug?
    looking for something forever gone
    but something
    we will always want?

    why why why are you letting me go? she says
    i feel you pulling back
    i feel you changing shape...
    and just as i'm breaking free
    she hangs herself in front of me
    slips her dress like a flag to the floor
    and hands in the sky
    surrenders it all...

    i whish i could just stop
    i know another moment will break my heart
    too many tears
    too many times
    too many years i've cried for you
    it's always the same
    wake up in the rain
    head in pain
    hung in shame
    a different name
    same old game
    love in vain
    and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
    away from home again...
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    If you have regrets don't have them now
    Its just you and me in this forgotten town
    Your daddy always said nice girls don't mess around
    Did your daddy ever say you were nice

    Curl up your body It's fine
    I've got something to pass the time
    Drink and be merry tommorow we die
    Tonight im yours and your kind of mine
