    I was goin where I shouldn't go,
    Seein who I shouldn't see,
    Doin what I shouldn't do,
    An Being who I shouldn't be,

    A little voice told me it's all wrong,
    Another voice told me it's alright,
    I used to think that I was strong,
    But lately I just lost the fight...

    It's funny how fallin feels like flyin,
    for a little while,
    Funny how fallin feels like flyin,
    for a little while,

    I got tired of bein good,
    Started missin that ol' feelin free,
    Stopped actin like I thought I should,
    Went on back to bein me,

    I never meant to hurt no one,
    I just had to have my way,
    If there's such a thing as too much fun,
    This must be the price you pay...

    Funny how fallin feels like flyin,
    for a little while,
    Funny how fallin feels like flyin,
    for a little while,

    Never see it comin till it's gone,
    It all happens for a reason even when it's wrong,
    Especially when it's wrong...

    Funny how fallin feels like flyin,
    for a little while,
    It's funny how fallin feels like flyin,
    for a little while,

    I was goin where I shouldn't go,
    Seein who I shouldn't see,
    Doing what I shouldn't do,
    Bein who I shouldn't be.
    "You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."

    Yeah, c'mon
    When the music's over
    When the music's over, yeah, When the music's over
    Turn out the lights, Turn out the lights
    Turn out the lights, yeah
    When the music's over
    Turn out the lights
    For the music is your special friend
    Dance on fire as it intends
    Music is your only friend
    Until the end
    Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
    Send my credentials to the House of Detention
    I got some friends inside
    The face in the mirror won't stop
    The girl in the window won't drop
    A feast of friends, "Alive!" she cried
    Waitin' for me, Outside!
    Before I sink, Into the big sleep
    I want to hear, I want to hear
    The scream of the butterfly
    Come back, baby, Back into my arm
    We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
    Waitin' around with our heads to the ground
    I hear a very gentle sound, Very near yet very far
    Very soft, yeah, very clear, Come today, come today
    What have they done to the earth?
    What have they done to our fair sister?
    Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
    Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
    And tied her with fences and dragged her down
    I hear a very gentle sound
    With your ear down to the ground
    We want the world and we want it...
    Now, Now?, Now!
    Persian night, babe, See the light, babe
    Save us!, Jesus!, Save us!
    So when the music's over
    When the music's over, yeah
    When the music's over
    Turn out the lights
    Well the music is your special friend
    Dance on fire as it intends
    Music is your only friend
    Until the end

    Wish you were here...

    I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
    All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
    Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
    Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
    All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

    Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

    [Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
    It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.

    Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
    Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

    Wish you were here...

    Don't ask me
    What you know is true
    Don't have to tell you
    I love your precious heart

    I..........I was standing
    You were there
    Two worlds collided
    And they could never tear us apart

    We could live for a thousand years
    But if I hurt you
    I'd make wine from your tears

    I told you
    That we could fly
    Cause we all have wings
    But some of us don't know why

    I..........I was standing
    You were there
    Two worlds collided
    And they could never...ever...tear us apart

    I don't ask me
    I was standing
    You know it's true
    You were there
    Worlds collided
    Two worlds collided
    We're shining through
    And they could never tear us apart

    You don't ask me
    You were standing
    You know it's true
    I was there
    Worlds collided
    Two worlds collided
    We're shining through
    And they could never tear us apart

    Wish you were here...

    Baby, you've been going so crazy,
    Lately nothing seems to be going right.
    So low, why do you have to get so low?
    You're so...
    You've been waiting in the sun too long.

    (Chorus)
    But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
    For the love you bring won't mean a thing,
    Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing.

    Colder, crying over your shoulder,
    Hold her, ...tell her everything's gonna be fine.
    Surely, you've been going too hurry,
    Hurry 'cos no-one's gonna be stopped.
    Na na na na...

    (Chorus)
    But if you sing, sing, sing, sing sing, sing.
    For the love you bring won't mean a thing.
    Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,


    Uhhh...Ahh ahh..uhhh...


    Baby, there's something going on today,
    But I say nothing, nothing, nothing,
    Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing...(fades out)


    (Chorus)
    But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
    For the love you bring won't mean a thing,
    Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing.


    Ohh baby sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
    For the love you bring won't mean a thing,...
    "Don't let the darkness eat you up..."

    Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain.
    Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the brain.
    Got no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door.
    Got a date, can't be late for the high hopes hailla ball.

    Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar.
    Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more.
    Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day.
    I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way.

    Oh Yeah...

    I don't know

    na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
    na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
    na na na na na na na na

    Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day.
    Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away.
    Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart.
    She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.

    Oh yeah.

    It sure is fine.

    Blow my mind.

    When the tears are going down.

    Yeah, Yeah.

    Oh so good.

    Wish you were here...

    The prettiest thing
    I ever did see
    Was lightening from
    the top of a cloud
    Moving through the dark a
    million miles an hour
    With somewhere to be

    So why does it seem
    Like a picture
    Hanging up on someone else's wall
    Lately I haven't been myself at all
    It's heavy on my mind


    I'm dreaming again
    Like I've always been
    And way down low
    I know

    The prettiest thing
    I ever did see
    Was dusty as the handle on the door
    Rusty as a nail stuck in
    the old pine floor
    Looks like home to me

    I'm dreaming again
    Like I've always been
    And way down low
    I'm thinkin' of the prettiest thing
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
  • CHANGEinWAVESCHANGEinWAVES Posts: 10,169
    Well I've stumbled in the darkness
    Lost and alone, though i said I'd go before us
    And show the way back home
    Is there a light up ahead
    I can't hold on very long
    Forgive me pretty baby but i always take the long way home

    Moneys just somethin ya throw off the back of a train
    Got a head full of lightning
    A hat full of rain
    And i know that i said, I'd never do it again
    Oh and i love ya sweet baby but i always take the long way home

    I put food on the table
    And a roof overhead
    Though I'd trade it all tomorrow, for the highway instead
    Watch your back if i should tell
    Loves the only thing I've ever known
    But one things for sure sweet baby
    I always take the long way home

    You know i love you baby
    More then the whole wide world
    I'm your woman, you know you are my pearl
    Lets go out past the party lights
    Where we can finally be alone
    Come with me together, we can take the long way home ooh
    Come with me, and we could take the long way home
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
  • CHANGEinWAVESCHANGEinWAVES Posts: 10,169
    I can't stop myself from calling
    Calling out your name
    I can't stop myself from falling
    Falling back again
    In the morning
    Baby, in the afternoon

    Dark like the shady corners
    Inside a violin
    Hot like to burn my lips
    I know I can't win
    In the morning
    Baby, in the afternoon

    I try to quit you but I'm too weak
    Waking up without you
    I can hardly speak at all

    My girlfriend tried to help me
    Get you off my mind
    She tried a little tea and sympathy
    To get me to unwind
    In the morning
    Baby, in the afternoon

    Funny how my favorite shirt
    Smells more like you than me
    Bitter traces left behind
    In stains no one can see
    In the morning
    Baby, in the afternoon

    You're gonna put me in an early grave
    I know I'm your slave whenever you call

    I can't stop myself from calling
    Calling out your name
    I can't stop myself from falling
    Falling back again
    Baby, in the afternoon
    Falling back again
    In the morning
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
  • CHANGEinWAVESCHANGEinWAVES Posts: 10,169
    The sun doesn't like you, you always get burned,
    Stay in the shade and watch the world turn.
    Better find a new place to lay on the ground,
    Can't stay where you are or you're gonna be found.

    And time won't pass you by,
    And I won't tell you lies.

    So tonight ... we can build a fire,
    In the open field past the razor wire.
    Sneak by the dogs when they go to sleep,
    Bring part of yourself that you'll let me keep.

    'cause time won't pass us by,
    And I won't tell you lies,
    Someday I will ask you why ... but not now.

    And time won't pass us by,
    And you won't tell me lies,
    Someday we all have to die ... but not now.
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    I dream of sweet caress from you

    once divided...nothing left to subtract...
    some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
    walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
    future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
    caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
    nothingman...
    nothingman...
    isn't it something?
    nothingman...
    she once believed...in every story he had to tell...
    one day she stiffened...took the other side...
    empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...
    one just escapes...one's left inside the well...
    and he who forgets...will be destined to remember...
    nothingman...
    nothingman...
    isn't it something?
    nothingman...
    oh, she don't want him...
    oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...
    oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...
    burn...burn...
    nothingman...
    nothingman...
    isn't it something?
    nothingman...
    nothingman...
    coulda' been something...
    nothingman...
    oh...ohh...ohh...

    Before you slip into unconsciousness
    I'd like to have another kiss
    Another flashing chance at bliss
    Another kiss, another kiss

    The days are bright and filled with pain
    Enclose me in your gentle rain
    The time you ran was too insane
    We'll meet again, we'll meet again


    Oh tell me where your freedom lies
    The streets are fields that never die
    Deliver me from reasons why
    You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly


    The crystal ship is being filled
    A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
    A million ways to spend your time
    When we get back, I'll drop a line

    Wish you were here...

    "Lover, You Should've Come Over"- JEFF BUCKLEY

    Looking out the door i see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
    Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
    And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
    But tonight you're on my mind so you never know

    When i'm broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
    Where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it
    Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

    Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
    And much too blind to see the damage he's done
    Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

    So i'll wait for you... and i'll burn
    Will I ever see your sweet return
    Oh will I ever learn

    Oh lover, you should've come over
    'Cause it's not too late

    Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
    Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
    My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

    It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
    It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
    It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
    It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

    Well maybe i'm just too young
    To keep good love from going wrong

    Oh... lover, you should've come over
    'Cause it's not too late

    Well I feel too young to hold on
    And i'm much too old to break free and run
    Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage i've done
    Sweet lover, you should've come over
    Oh, love well i'm waiting for you

    Lover, you should've come over
    'Cause it's not too late

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    and nothing else matters

    Never opened myself this way
    Life is ours, we live it our way
    All these words I don't just say
    and nothing else matters

    Trust I seek and I find in you
    Every day for us something new
    Open mind for a different view
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    but I know

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    but I know

    Never opened myself this way
    Life is ours, we live it our way
    All these words I don't just say

    Trust I seek and I find in you
    Every day for us, something new
    Open mind for a different view
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for what they say
    never cared for games they play
    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    and I know

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    No, nothing else matters


    Wish you were here...

    City girls just seem to find out early
    How to open doors with just a smile
    A rich old man and she won`t have to worry
    She`ll dress up all in lace and go in style

    Late at night a big ole house gets lonely,
    I guess every form refuge has its price
    And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
    Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.

    So she tells him she must go out for the evening
    To comfort an old friend who`s feeling down
    But he knows where she`s going as she`s leaving
    She is headed for the cheatin` side of town.

    You can`t hide your lyin` eyes
    And your smile is a thin disguise
    I thought by now you`d realize
    There ain`t no way to hide your lyin` eyes

    On the other side of town a boy is waiting
    With firey eyes and dreams no one could steal
    She drives on through the night anticipating
    Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

    She rushes to his arms, they fall together
    She whispers it`s only for a while
    She swears that soon she`ll be coming back forever
    She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

    You can`t hide your lyin` eyes
    And your smile is a thin disguise
    I thought by now you`d realize
    There ain`t no way to hide your lyin` eyes

    She gets up and pours herself a strong one
    And stares out at the stars up in the sky
    Another night - it`s gonna be a long one
    She draws the shade and hangs her head and cries

    She wonders how it ever got this crazy
    She thinks about a boy she knew in school
    Did she get tired, or did she just get lazy
    She`s so far gone, she feels just like a fool

    My, oh my, you sure know know how to arrange things
    You set it up so well, so carefully
    Ain`t it funny how your new life didn`t change things
    You`re still the same ole` girl you used to be

    You can`t hide your lyin` eyes
    And your smile is a thin disguise
    I thought by now you`d realize
    There ain`t no way to hide your lyin` eyes...
    There ain`t no way to hide your lyin` eyes...
    Honey you can`t hide your lyin` eyes

    Wish you were here...

    I'm over your lies,
    and I'm over your games.
    I'm over you asking me,
    when you know I'm not okay.
    You call me at night,
    and I pick up the phone.
    And though you've been telling me,
    I know you're not alone.
    oh..

    That's why
    (your eyes)
    I'm over it
    (your smile)
    I'm over it
    (realize)
    I'm over it
    I'm over it
    I'm over..

    Wanting you,
    to be wanting me.
    No that ain't no way to be.
    How I feel, read my lips,
    because I'm so over..
    Moving on, it's my time,
    you never were a friend of mine.
    Hurt at first, a little bit,
    but now I'm so over.
    I'm so over it..

    I'm over your hands,
    and I'm over your mouth.
    Trying to drag me down,
    and fill me with self-doubt.
    oh..

    That's why,
    (your words)
    I'm over it
    (so sure)
    I'm over it
    (I'm not your girl)
    I'm over it
    I'm over it
    I'm over...

    Wanting you,
    to be wanting me.
    No that ain't no way to be.
    How I feel, read my lips,
    because I'm so over..
    Moving on, it's my time,
    you never were a friend of mine.
    Hurt at first, a little bit,
    but now I'm so over.
    I'm so over it..

    Don't call,
    don't come by,
    ain't no use,
    don't ask me why,
    you'll never change,
    there'll be no more crying in the rain.

    Wanting you,
    to be wanting me.
    No that ain't no way to be.
    How I feel, read my lips,
    because I'm so over..
    Moving on, it's my time,
    you never were a friend of mine.
    Hurt at first, a little bit,
    but now I'm so over.
    I'm so over it..

    I'm so over it....
    I'm over it....

    Wanting you,

    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, one.

    How about this one?

    I tied myself with wire
    To let the horses run free
    Playing with the fire
    Until the fire played with me

    The stone was semi-precious
    We were barely conscious
    Two souls too cool to be
    In the realm of certainty
    Even on our wedding day

    We set ourselves on fire
    Oh God, do not deny her
    It's not if I believe in love
    But if love believes in me
    Oh, believe in me

    At the moment of surrender
    I folded to my knees
    I did not notice the passers-by
    And they did not notice me

    I've been in every black hole
    At the altar of the dark star
    My body's now a begging bowl
    That's begging to get back, begging to get back
    To my heart
    To the rhythm of my soul
    To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
    To the rhythm that yearns
    To be released from control

    I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
    I could see in the reflection
    A face staring back at me
    At the moment of surrender
    Of vision over visibility
    I did not notice the passers-by
    And they did not notice me

    I was speeding on the subway
    Through the stations of the cross
    Every eye looking every other way
    Counting down 'til the pentecost

    At the moment of surrender
    Of vision of over visibility
    I did not notice the passers-by
    And they did not notice me

  • justamjustam Posts: 21,409
    Me too. It was the last song they played when they came to Tampa. I was so happy. I thought they weren't going to play it and then they finished the show with it. *sigh*

    saw them at both shows at Giants stadium in September, was just amazing. Looking forward to seeing them again this summer in Philly and at new Giants stadium.


    heres one that I've been listening to a lot lately and was glad they brought back for this tour:


    And love is not the easy thing
    The only baggage you can bring...
    And love is not the easy thing....
    The only baggage you can bring
    Is all that you can't leave behind

    And if the darkness is to keep us apart
    And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
    And if your glass heart should crack
    And for a second you turn back
    Oh no, be strong

    Walk on, walk on
    What you got they can't steal it
    No they can't even feel it
    Walk on, walk on...
    Stay safe tonight

    You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
    A place that has to be believed to be seen
    You could have flown away
    A singing bird in an open cage
    Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

    Walk on, walk on
    What you've got they can't deny it
    Can't sell it, can't buy it
    Walk on, walk on
    Stay safe tonight

    And I know it aches
    And your heart it breaks
    And you can only take so much
    Walk on, walk on

    Home, hard to know what it is if you've never had one
    Home, I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home
    That's where the hurt is

    I know it aches
    How your heart it breaks
    And you can only take so much
    Walk on, walk on

    Leave it behind
    You've got to leave it behind
    All that you fashion
    All that you make
    All that you build
    All that you break
    All that you measure
    All that you steal
    All this you can leave behind
    All that you reason
    All that you sense
    All that you speak
    All you dress up
    All that you scheme.

    I took a drive today
    Time to emancipate
    I guess it was the beatings... made me wise
    But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
    I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
    Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
    Enmity gauged, united by fear
    Forced to endure what I could not forgive...

    I seem to look away
    Wounds in the mirror waved
    It wasn't my surface... most defiled
    Head at your feet, fool to your crown
    Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
    Enmity gauged, united by fear
    Tried to endure what I could not forgive

    Saw things
    Saw things
    Saw things
    Saw things
    Clearer
    Clearer
    Once you, were in my...
    Rearviewmirror...

    I gather speed from you fucking with me
    Once and for all I'm far away
    I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...

    Saw things so much clearer
    (Once you, once you)
    Rearviewmirror...
  • Pearls and swine bereft of me
    Long and weary my road has been
    I was lost in the cities
    Alone in the hills
    No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

    I am not your rolling wheels
    I am the Highway
    I am not your carpet ride
    I am the sky

    Friends and liars don't wait for me
    'Cause I'll get on all by myself
    I put millions of miles
    Under my heels
    And still too close to you
    I feel

    I am not your rolling wheels
    I am the highway
    I am not your carpet ride
    I am the sky
    I am not your blowing wind
    I am the lightning
    I am not your autumn moon
    I am the night, the night..

    Yeeah
    I am not your rolling wheels
    I am the Highway
    I am not your carpet ride
    I am the sky
    But I am not your blowing wind
    I am the lightning
    I am not your autumn moon
    I am the night, the night..
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
    cannot find the comfort in this world
    artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
    vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
    a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...
    but there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...
    as privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
    swept out through the cracks beneath the door
    holier than thou, how?
    surrendered...executed anyhow
    scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
    a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on too...
    he saw the trapdoor in the sun...
    immortality...
    i cannot stop the thought...i'm running in the dark...
    coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
    oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
    and whiskers in the sink...
    truants move on...cannot stay long
    some die just to live...
    ohh...

    Wish you were here...

    ~RIP Dad

    I see there's a U2 fan in the house...do you know this one?

    Take my hand
    You know I'll be there,
    If you can I'll cross
    The sky for your love,
    For I have promised for
    To be with you tonight
    And for the time that will come.

    Take my hand
    You know I'll be there,
    If you can I'll cross
    The sky for your love
    And I understand
    These winds and tides,
    This change of times
    Won't drag you away.
    Hold on, hold on tightly,
    Hold on and don't let go
    Of my love.

    The storms will pass
    It won't be long now.
    The storms will pass
    But my love last forever.

    And take my hand,
    You know I'll be there,
    If you can I'll cross the sky
    For your love.
    Give you what I hold dear,
    Hold on, hold on tightly.
    Hold on, hold on tightly.
    Rise up, rise up with wings,
    Like eagles you'll run, you'll run.
    You'll run and not grow weary.

    Take my hand, take my hand.
    Hold on tightly.
    Hold on tightly.
    This love last forever,
    This love last forever,
    Take my hand,
    Take my hand.
