    Livin' in a dream-->

    I'm gonna play play play this game for keeps
    I'm gonna wake you softly from your sleep
    With a heart so warm and a love so deep
    You know we're only livin' in a dream.

    Life goes round like a wheel
    You never know if it's real
    Time rolls by like a train
    Let it burn, turn up the flame

    With AL the snow in DC....

    This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
    All the clubs have been closed down
    This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
    Bands won't play no more
    Too much fighting on the dance floor

    (A-la-la ...)
    Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
    We danced and sang as the music played in any boomtown
    This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
    Why must the youth fight against themselves?
    Government leaving the youth on the shelf
    This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
    No job to be found in this country
    Can't go on no more
    The people getting angry

    (A-la-la ...)
    This town is coming like a ghost town
    This town is coming like a ghost town
    This town is coming like a ghost town
    This town is coming like a ghost town

  • I see a sea anemone
    The enemy
    See a sea anemone
    And that'll be the end of me.

    While the vicious fish was caught unawares in the tenderest of tendrils
    Underneath her tender gills

    I will become this animal
    Perfectly adapted to the music halls
    I will become this animal
    Anomalous appendages
    A non-animal

    Hold on just a second
    Don't tell me this one you know
    I know this one I know this song
    I know this one I love this song
    Hold on just a second
    Don't tell me this one you know
    i know this one I know this song
    I know this one I love this song
    I know this one

    Underneath the stalactites
    The troglobites lost their sight
    Uh oh

    The seemingly innocuous plecostomus
    though posthumus
    They talk to us
    They talk too much

    See a sea anemone
    The enemy
    See a sea anemone
    That'll be the end of me
    Vicious fish was caught unawares
    In the tend'rest tendrils
    Underneath her tender gills and

    I will become this animal
    Perfectly adapted to a music hall
    I will become this animal

    Anomalous appendages
    A non-animal

    If you havent heard this song, please listen, ridiculously brilliant
    "Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH..."

    You have to learn to pace yourself
    Pressure
    You're just like everybody else
    Pressure
    You've only had to run so far
    So good
    But you will come to a place
    Where the only thing you feel
    Are loaded guns in your face
    And you'll have to deal with
    Pressure

    You used to call me paranoid
    Pressure
    But even you cannot avoid
    Pressure
    You turned the tap dance into your crusade
    Now here you are with your faith
    And your Peter Pan advice
    You have no scars on your face
    And you cannot handle
    Pressure

    All grown up and no place to go
    Psych 1, Psych 2
    What do you know?
    All your life is channel 13
    Sesame Street
    What does it mean?

    (I'll tell you what it means)
    Pressure
    Pressure

    Don't ask for help
    You're all alone
    Pressure
    You'll have to answer
    To your own
    Pressure
    I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale
    But here you are in the ninth
    Two men out and three men on
    Nowhere to look but inside
    Where we all respond to
    Pressure
    Pressure

    All your life is Time Magazine
    I read it too
    What does it mean?
    Pressure

    I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale
    But here you are with your faith
    And your Peter Pan advice
    You have no scars on your face
    And you cannot handle
    Pressure
    Pressure
    Pressure
    One, two, three, four
    Pressure

    Wish you were here...

  • I lose myself
    I forget myself
    Sometimes I fault myself
    I might fight myself
    But then I make amends

    I freeze myself
    Rain on myself
    OK, so I stone myself
    And I might even find myself
    But then again what happens if I do

    So unzip my pride
    Open me up wide
    So I can show this to you

    I want to shine for you
    I want to sparkle too
    Just like a diamond cursed

    Well you know it don't get worse
    You know that I'll save you time
    Your trouble now is mine

    Hold me baby
    Hold me girl
    And I will laugh with you
    If you want me to

    Roll me in your splendor
    I'll envy your surrender
    And show you victory

    I hate myself
    Doesn't everybody hate themselves
    I scare myself
    Then I tell myself it's all in my mind

    So I let the poison go
    'Cause I always know
    It will be there for me
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    she nursed him there, over a night
    i wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
    what to say...what to say
    but soon she was down, soon he was low
    at a quarter past...a holy no...
    she had to turn around
    when she couldn't hold, oh...she folded...
    a dissident is here
    escape is never, the safest path
    a dissident, a dissident is here
    and to this day, she's glided on
    always home but so far away
    like a word misplaced
    nothing said, what a waste
    when she had contact...with the conflict...
    there was meaning, but she sold him to the state
    she had to turn around
    when she couldn't hold...she folded...
    a dissident is here
    escape is never, the safest path
    a dissident, a dissident is here
    she gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded...
    a dissident is here
    escape is never, the safest path
    a dissident, a dissident is here
    couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded...
    a dissident is here
    escape is never the safest place
    a dissident is here

    Wish you were here...

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers- I Could Have Lied

    I could never change
    Just what I feel
    My face will never show
    What is not real
    I could have lied I'm such a fool
    My eyes could never never never
    Keep their cool
    Showed her and I told her how
    She struck me but I'm fucked up now
    What is human? Nature's more!

  • seemed fitting...

    I've looked at love from both sides now,
    From give and take, and still somehow
    It's love's illusions i recall.
    I really don't know love at all.

    A Cure song since I started watching the Trilogy dvd tonight-->

    "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep"

    If only tonight we could sleep
    In a bed made of flowers
    If only tonight we could fall
    In a deathless spell

    If only tonight we could slide
    Into deep black water
    And breathe
    And breathe...

    Then an angel would come
    With burning eyes like stars
    And bury us deep
    In his velvet arms

    And the rain would cry
    As our faces slipped away
    And the rain would cry

    Don't let it end...

  • How can I make

    I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
    I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
    You've built a love but that love falls apart.
    Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

    Listen to your heart
    when he's calling for you.
    Listen to your heart
    there's nothing else you can do.
    I don't know where you're going
    and I don't know why,
    but listen to your heart
    before you tell him goodbye.

    Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
    The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
    They're swept away and nothing is what it seems,
    the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

    And there are voices
    that want to be heard.
    So much to mention
    but you can't find the words.
    The scent of magic,
    the beauty that's been
    when love was wilder than the wind.

    Wish you were here...

    You don't bring me flowers
    You don't sing me love songs
    You hardly talk to me anymore
    When you come thru the door
    At the end of the day

    I remember when
    You couldn't wait to love me
    Used to hate to leave me
    Now after lovin' me late at night
    When it's good for you
    And you're feelin' alright
    Well you just roll over
    And turn out the light
    And you don't bring me flowers anymore

    It used to be so natural
    To talk about forever
    But "used to be's" don't count anymore
    They just lay on the floor
    'til we sweep them away

    And baby, I remember
    All the things you taught me
    I learned how to laugh
    And I learned how to cry
    Well I leared how to love
    Even learned how to lie
    You'd think I could learn
    How to tell you goodbye
    'cause you don't bring me flowers anymore

    Wish you were here...

  • Eyeless in the morning sun you were
    Pale and mild
    A modern girl
    Taken with thought still prone to care
    Making tea
    In your underwear
    You went out in the yard to find
    Something to eat
    And clear your mind
    And something bad inside me went away

    Quaking leaves and broken light
    Shifting skin
    The coming night
    The bearers of all good things arrive
    Climb inside us
    Twist and cry
    A kiss on your molten eyes
    Myriad lives
    Like blades of grass
    Yet to be realized
    Bow as they pass

    They are cold
    Still
    Waiting in the
    Ether to
    Form
    Feel
    Kill
    Propagate
    Only to die

    They are cold
    Still
    Waiting in the
    Ether to
    Form
    Feel
    Kill
    Propagate
    Only to die
    Dissolve magically
    Absurdly
    They'll end
    Leave
    Dissipate
    Coldly and
    Strangely
    Return
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
  • Untie me, I've said no vows
    The train is getting way too loud
    I gotta leave here my girl
    Get on with my lonely life

    Just leave the ring on the rail
    For the wheels to nullify

    Until this turn in my head
    I let you stay and you paid no rent
    I spent twelve long months on the lam

    That's enough sitting on the fence
    For the fear of breaking dams

    I'd find a fatal flaw
    In the logic of love
    And go out of my head

    You love a sinking stone
    That'll never elope
    So get used to the lonesome
    Girl, you must atone some
    Don't leave me no phone number there
    La dee da

    It took me all of a year
    To put the poison pill to your ear
    But now I stand on honest ground, on honest ground

    You want to fight for this love
    But honey you cannot wrestle a dove
    So baby it's clear

    You want to jump and dance
    But you sat on your hands
    And lost your only chance

    Go back to your hometown
    Get your feet on the ground
    And stop floating around

    I found a fatal flaw
    In the logic of love
    And went out of my head

    You love a sinking stone
    That'll never elope
    So get used to used to the lonesome
    Girl, you must atone some
    Don't leave me no phone number there
    La dee da

    There are those who think that life
    Has nothing left to chance,
    A host of holy horrors
    To direct our aimless dance

    A planet of playthings
    We dance on the strings
    Of powers we cannot perceive
    "The stars aren't aligned -
    Or the gods are malign"
    Blame is better to give than receive.


    You can choose a ready guide
    In some celestial voice.
    If you choose not to decide
    You still have made a choice
    You can choose from phantom fears
    And kindness that can kill;
    I will choose a path that's clear-
    I will choose free will


    There are those who think that
    They were dealt a losing hand,
    The cards were stacked against them-
    They weren't born in Lotus-Land
    All pre-ordained
    A prisoner in chains
    A victim of venomous fate
    Kicked in the face
    You can't pray for a place
    In heaven's unearthly estate

    Each of us
    A cell of awareness
    Imperfect and incomplete
    Genetic blends
    With uncertain ends
    On a fortune hunt
    That's far too fleet...

  • The gutter may profess its love
    Then follow it with hesitation
    For there are just so many of
    You out there for rent

    A stronger girl would shake this off in flight
    And never give it more than a frowning hour
    But you have let your heart decide
    Loss has conquered you

    You've won one too many fights
    Wearing many hats every time
    But you won't win here tonight

    You made it through the direst of straits alright
    Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?
    You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes
    And I cannot lecture you

    And does anything I say seem relevant at all?
    You've been at the helm since you were just five
    While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger

    But, you've won one too many fights
    Wearing all of your clothes at the same time
    Let the good times in tonight
    Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her
    This time

    Just a moment or two from now
    Not a mind will retain even a trace
    Of the thoughts that I struggle to tell
    And how our stack of cards just fell

    So settle this once and for all
    The light no longer shows the cracks around my door
    And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight

    You are not some saint who's above
    Giving someone a stroll through the flowers
    You've got so much more to dream of
    Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her
    This time
    This time
    This time.

  • Go without,
    Till the need seeps in
    You low animal,
    Collect your novel petals for the stem.

    And glow.
    Glow.
    Melt and flow.
    Eviscerate your fragile frame.
    And spill it out on ragged floor.
    A thousand different versions of yourself.

    And if the old guards still offend,
    They got nothing left on which you depend.
    So enlist every ounce
    Of your bright blood.
    And off with their heads.

    Jump from the hook.
    You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise.
    See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life,
    And they got no right.
    As sure as you have eyes,
    They got no right.

    Just put yourself in my new shoes.
    And see that I do all I do.
    Because the old guard still offends.
    (Their pudgy hearts and slimy hands)
    They got nothing left on which we depend.
    So enlist every ounce
    Of your bright blood.
    And off with their heads.

    Jump from the hook.
    You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise,
    That you despise.

    Some say love it is a river
    that drowns the tender reed
    Some say love it is a razer
    that leaves your soul to blead

    Some say love it is a hunger
    an endless aching need
    I say love it is a flower
    and you it's only seed

    It's the heart afraid of breaking
    that never learns to dance
    It's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chance
    It's the one who won't be taken
    who cannot seem to give
    and the soul afraid of dyingthat never learns to live

    When the night has been too lonely
    and the road has been too long
    and you think that love is only
    for the lucky and the strong
    Just remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snows
    lies the seed
    that with the sun's love
    in the spring
    becomes the rose

    Wish you were here...

    All this machinery
    Making modern music
    Can still be open-hearted
    Not so coldly charted
    It's really just a question
    Of your honesty

    One likes to believe
    In the freedom of music,
    But glittering prizes
    And endless compromises
    Shatter the illusion
    Of integrity.

    If I could save Time in a bottle
    The first thing that I'd like to do
    Is to save every day
    'Til Eternity passes away
    Just to spend them with you

    If I could make days last forever
    If words could make wishes come true
    I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
    Again, I would spend them with you

    But there never seems to be enough time
    To do the things you want to do
    Once you find them
    I've looked around enough to know
    That you're the one I want to go
    Through time with

    If I had a box just for wishes
    And dreams that had never come true
    The box would be empty
    Except for the memory
    Of how they were answered by you

    Wish you were here...

    Release Me ~ PJ

    I see the world
    Feel the chill
    Which way to go
    Windowsill
    I see the words
    On a rocking horse of time
    I see the birds in the rain

    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll wait up in the dark
    For you to speak to me
    I'll open up
    Release me
    Release me
    Release me
    Release me

    Wish you were here...

    I try to sing this song
    I...I try to stand up
    But I can't find my feet
    I try, I try to speak up
    But only in you I'm complete

    Gloria...exultate
    Gloria...Gloria
    Oh Lord, loosen my lips

    I try to sing this song
    I...I try to get in
    But I can't find the door
    The door is open
    You're standing there
    You let me in

    Anything at all
    I'd give it to you

    Mama told me when I was young
    Come sit beside me, my only son
    And listen closely to what I say
    And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day

    Oh, take your time don't live too fast
    Troubles will come and they will pass
    Go find a woman you'll find love
    And don't forget son there is someone up above

    And be a simple kind of man
    Be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

    Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
    All that you need is in your soul
    And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
    All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

    And be a simple kind of man
    Be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? Oh yes, I will

    Boy, don't you worry you'll find yourself
    Follow your heart and nothing else
    And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
    All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

    And be a simple kind of man
    Be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

    Baby be a simple, be a simple man
    Be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man

    Wish you were here...

    I wear my sunglasses at night
    So I can, so I can
    Watch you weave
    Then breathe your story lines
    And I wear my sunglasses at night
    So I can, so I can
    Keep track of the visions in my eyes

    While she's deceiving me
    It cuts my security
    Has she got control of me
    I turn to her and say

    Don't switch the blade
    On the guy in shades, oh-no
    Don't masquerade
    With the guy in shades, oh-no
    I can't believe it
    'Cause you got it made
    With the guy in shades, oh-no

    And I wear my sunglasses at night
    So I can, so I can
    Forget my name while you collect your claim
    And I wear my sunglasses at night
    So I can, so I can
    See the light that's right before my eyes

    While she's deceiving me
    She cuts my security
    Has she got control of me
    I turn to her and say

    Don't switch the blade
    On the guy in shades, oh-no
    Don't masquerade
    With the guy in shades, oh-no
    I can't believe it
    Don't be afraid
    Of the guy in shades, oh-no
    It kinda scared you
    'Cause you got it made
    With the guy in shades, oh-no

    Oh, I say I wear my sunglasses at night
    I wear my sunglasses at night
    I wear my sunglasses at night
    I say it to you now
    I wear my sunglasses at night
    I wear my sunglasses at night
    I wear my sunglasses at night
    I cry to you
    I wear my sunglasses at night
    I wear my sunglasses at night

    Wish you were here...

    do you see the way that tree bends?
    does it inspire?
    leaning out to catch the sun's rays
    a lesson to be applied
    are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
    you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense
    have you ideas on how this life ends?
    checked your hands and studied the lines
    have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
    seems that needlessly it's getting harder
    to find an approach and a way to live
    are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
    you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    Wish you were here...

  • I have no idea how this happens
    all my maps have been overwrote
    happenstance has changed my plans so many times
    my heart has been outgrown
    no everybody's feeling all alone
    can't tell you who I am
    when everybody's feeling all alone
    can't tell you who I am
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
  • I try to stay busy
    I do the dishes, I mow the lawn
    I try to keep myself occupied
    Even though I know you’re not coming home

    I try to keep the house nice and neat
    I make my bed I change the sheets
    I even learned how to use the washing machine
    But keeping things clean doesn’t change anything

    What am I gonna do when I run out of shirts to fold?
    What am I gonna do when I run out of lawn to mow?
    What am I gonna do if you never come home?
    Tell me, what am I gonna do?

    I hate it
    I hate it here
    When you’re gone

    I caught myself thinking
    I caught myself thinking once again
    Have to try to keep my mind out of this
    Try not to pretend


    I’ll check the phone
    I’ll check the mail
    I’ll check the phone again and I call your mom
    She says you’re not there and I should take care

    I hate it here
    When you’re gone
    I hate it
    I hate it here
    When you’re gone

    I try to stay busy
    I take out the trash, I sweep the floor
    Try to keep myself occupied
    Cause I know you don’t live here anymore
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
