    Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio?
    Did you try to read the writing on the wall?
    Did that voice inside you say "I've heard it all before"?
    It's like Deja Vu all over again

    Day by day I hear the voices rising
    Started with a whisper like it did before
    Day by day we count the dead and dying
    Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep score

    Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio?
    Could your eyes believe the writing on the wall?
    Did that voice inside you say "I've heard it all before"?
    It's like Deja Vu all over again

    One by one I see the old ghosts rising
    Stumblin' 'cross Big Muddy
    Where the light gets dim
    Day after day another Momma's crying
    She's lost her precious child
    To a war that has no end

    Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio?
    Did you stop to read the writing at The Wall?
    Did that voice inside you say
    "I've seen this all before"?
    It's like Deja Vu all over again
    It's like Deja Vu all over again

    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    Tell me what I wanna hear
    This shits too good to be true
    My dear

    Tell me lies
    Tell me lies, tell me
    Tell me lies, tell me

    Help me

    Storybook keeps from hurting me
    You see
    Shell of the man from the sea

    Tell me lies
    Tell me lies, tell me
    Tell me lies, tell me

    Tell me why
    Tell me why, tell me
    Tell me why, tell me

    Tell me lies,...

    Help me

    Reservoir
    Of hate and fear
    Invisible
    In repair
    A hundred thieves
    Cast a spell
    This is hell

    Help me

    The man they call my enemy, I've seen his eyes
    He looks just like me, a mirror

    The more you read, we've been deceived
    Everyday it becomes clearer,...

    Clearer.

    Not my enemy,.. no, not my enemy,..
    Don't speak for me. No, not my enemy.
    "You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."

    The lost children of the Alleghenies- Jacob's Dream by Allison Kraus - ( To all the missing children )


    In the spring of 1856 with the snow still on the ground
    two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town
    the father went out hunting the boys had stayed behind
    while mother tended to her chores they wandered from her side......

    the two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead
    by dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread
    200 men had gathered there to comb the mountain side
    the fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light .........

    Oh mommy and daddy why can't you hear out cries
    the day is almost over, soon it will be night
    we're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore
    we promise not to stray again from our cabin door........

    Now Jacob Dibert woke one night from a strange and erie dream
    he saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream
    he told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log
    for two more nights the dream returned this vision sent from God .........

    a thousand men had searched in vain the west side of Bob's creek
    But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east........

    with a guide to take him there, Jacob came upon the scene
    and found the boys cold and still beneath the old birch tree ....

    Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry
    were both up in Heaven now, God is by our side
    as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord
    know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door.........

    I wanna shake
    I wanna wind out
    I wanna leave
    This mind and shout

    I've lived
    All this life
    Like an ocean
    In disguise
    I don't live for
    Ever
    You can't keep
    Me here

    I wanna race
    With the sundown
    I want a last breath
    I don't let out

    Forgive
    Every being
    The bad feelings
    It's just me
    I won't wait
    For answers

    You can't keep
    Me here

    I wanna rise
    And say goodnight
    Wanna take
    A look on the other side

    I've lived
    All those lives
    It's been wonder
    Full at night
    I will live for
    Ever
    You can't keep
    Me here

    All of the seasons and all of the days
    All of the reasons why I've felt this way...

    So long, So long ....

    Then lost in that feeling, I looked in your eyes
    I noticed emotion and that you had cried, for me, I can see

    What would touch me deeper...tears that fall from eyes that only cry ?
    Would it touch you deeper, than tears that fall from eyes that know why ?

    A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek
    I tasted the answers and my body was weak ... For you, the truth

    What would touch me deeper ... tears that fall from eyes that only cry ?
    Would it touch you deeper, than tears that fall from eyes that know why ?.....

    love I get so lost, sometimes
    days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
    when I want to run away
    I drive off in my car
    but whichever way I go
    I come back to the place you are

    all my instincts, they return
    and the grand facade, so soon will burn
    without a noise, without my pride
    I reach out from the inside

    in your eyes
    the light the heat
    in your eyes
    I am complete
    in your eyes
    I see the doorway to a thousand churches
    in your eyes
    the resolution of all the fruitless searches
    in your eyes
    I see the light and the heat
    in your eyes
    oh, I want to be that complete
    I want to touch the light
    the heat I see in your eyes

    love, I don't like to see so much pain
    so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
    I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
    I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

    and all my instincts, they return
    and the grand facade, so soon will burn
    without a noise, without my pride
    I reach out from the inside

    in your eyes
    the light the heat
    in your eyes
    I am complete
    in your eyes
    I see the doorway to a thousand churches
    in your eyes
    the resolution of all the fruitless searches
    in your eyes
    I see the light and the heat
    in your eyes
    oh, I want to be that complete
    I want to touch the light,
    the heat I see in your eyes
    in your eyes in your eyes
    in your eyes in your eyes
    in your eyes in your eyes

    Wish you were here...

    Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
    Dancing on the light from star to star.
    Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are,
    I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

    You are like a hurricane
    There's calm in your eye.
    And I'm gettin' blown away
    To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
    I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.

    I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
    You could have been anyone to me.
    Before that moment you touched my lips
    That perfect feeling when time just slips
    Away between us on our foggy trip.

    You are like a hurricane
    There's calm in your eye.
    And I'm gettin' blown away
    To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
    I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.

    You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream.
    You could have been anyone to me.
    Before that moment you touched my lips
    That perfect feeling when time just slips
    Away between us on our foggy trip.

    You are like a hurricane
    There's calm in your eye.
    And I'm gettin' blown away
    To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
    I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.

    Wish you were here...

    Standing in silence, holding my breath
    Disconnected and dry
    And though I'm certain that there's nothing left
    To hold on to, to give or to try
    Some things never change, no don't ever change
    And I'm feeling the cold
    Thinking that we're getting older and wiser
    When we're just getting old
  • mikalinamikalina Posts: 7,206
    So I talk to the night, I head for the light
    try and hold it on the road ...

    Thank God for the man who put the white lines on the highway...
    baby, what you gonna do when the fire is through
    and you find he's out looking for somebody new

    cause you did everything that he wanted you to do
    and now you're all alone and crying ......

    I know it's late, I know you're weary
    I know your plans don't include me
    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Longing for shelter from all that we see
    Why should we worry, no one will care girl
    Look at the stars so far away
    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don' you stay?

    Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
    All of my hopes, fading away
    I've longed for love, like everyone else does
    I know I'll keep searching, even after today
    So there it is girl, I've said it all now
    And here we are babe, what do you say?
    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don't you stay?

    I know it's late, I know you're weary
    I know your plans don't include me
    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Both of us lonely

    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    Let's make it ast, let's find a way
    Turn out the light, come take my hand now
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don't you stay?
    Why don't you stay?

    Wish you were here...

    I feel part of the universe opened up to meet me.
    My emotion so submerged, broken down to kneeling
    once listening
    voices they came

    Had to somehow read myself
    read myself
    heard vibration within my cells
    in my cells

    Singing ah ah ah ah ah ah

    My love is safe for the universe
    See me now I'm bursting
    On one planet so many turns
    different worlds

    singing ah ah ah ah ah ah

    From my heart with discipline
    Put there for the teaching
    In my head see clouds of stairs
    Help me as I'm reaching
    The future's paved with better days

    I'm running from something
    I'm running towards the day
    wide awake

    A whisper once quiet
    Now rising to a scream
    I am me.

    I'm falling free fallin
    World's calling me
    Above my needs

    Oh I'm soaring
    Yeah and darlin', you'll be the one that I can need,
    Still, be free

    Our futures paved with better days

    I read the news today oh boy
    About a lucky man who made the grade
    And though the news was rather sad
    Well I just had to laugh
    I saw the photograph
    He blew his mind out in a car
    He didn't notice that the lights had changed
    A crowd of people stood and stared
    They'd seen his face before
    Nobody was really sure
    If he was from the House of Lords.

    I saw a film today oh boy
    The English Army had just won the war
    A crowd of people turned away
    but I just had to look
    Having read the book
    I'd love to turn you on

    Woke up, fell out of bed,
    Dragged a comb across my head
    Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
    And looking up I noticed I was late.
    Found my coat and grabbed my hat
    Made the bus in seconds flat
    Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
    and Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

    I read the news today oh boy
    Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
    And though the holes were rather small
    They had to count them all
    Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
    I'd love to turn you on

    Wish you were here...

    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...

    isn't it something?

    Through this world I've stumbled, so many times betrayed
    trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved

    Oh.. you speak to me in riddles and
    you speak to me in rhymes
    my body aches to breathe your breath
    your words keep me alive .........

    and I would be the one.... to hold you down
    kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away...
    and after I, wipe away the tears, just close you eyes dear ...

    Into this night I wander, It's morning that I dread
    another day of knowing of, the path I fear to tread...
    Oh... into the sea of waking dreams, I follow without pride..

    Nothing stands between us here.... and I won't be denied....

    I hear the ticking of the clock
    I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
    I wonder where you are tonight
    No answer on the telephone
    And the night goes by so very slow
    Oh I hope that it won't end though
    Alone
    Till now I always got by on my own
    I never really cared until I met you
    And now it chills me to the bone
    How do I get you alone
    How do I get you alone
    You don't know how long I have wanted
    to touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
    You don't know how long I have waited
    and I was going to tell you tonight
    But the secret is still my own
    and my love for you is still unknown
    Alone
    Till now I always got by on my own
    I never really cared until I met you
    And now it chills me to the bone
    How do I get you alone
    How do I get you alone
    How do I get you alone
    How do I get you alone
    Alone, alone

    Wish you were here...

    Out of respect
    I really must confess

    I took my love and I took it down
    I climbed a mountain and I turned around
    And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
    'Til the landslide brought me down

    Oh, mirror in the sky
    What is love?
    Can the child within my heart rise above?
    Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?
    Can I handle the seasons of my life?

    Well, I've been afraid of changing
    'Cause I've built my life around you
    But time makes you bolder
    Children get older
    I'm getting older too

    I've been afraid of changing
    'Cause I, I´ve built my life around you
    But time makes you bolder
    Children get older
    I'm getting older too...
    I'm getting older too...

    So, take this love, take it down
    Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
    If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
    Well the landslide will bring you down, down

    And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
    Well maybe... The landslide will bring you down
    Well well... the landslide will bring you down

    Wish you were here...

    Heaven's in our hearts, in our faith in humankind
    in our respect for what is earthly, in our unfaltering belief
    in peace and love and understanding

    I've seen spirits, I've met angels
    touched creations, beautiful and wondrous
    I've been places, where I question all I think I know

    But I believe, I believe, I believe this could be heaven ....

    All the time we wasted Just gave us time to find each other
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
  • When I find out all the reasons
    Maybe I'll find another way
    Find another day
    With all the changing seasons of my life
    Maybe I'll get it right next time
    An now that you've been broken down
    Got your head out of the clouds
    You're back down on the ground
    And you don't talk so loud
    An you don't walk so proud
    Any more, and what for

    Well I jumped into the river
    Too many times to make it home
    I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
    If it doesn't show give it time
    To read between the lines
    'Cause I see the storm getting closer
    And the waves they get so high
    Seems everything We've ever known's here
    Why must it drift away and die

    I'll never find anyone to replace you
    Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time- Oh this time
    Without you

    I knew the storm was getting closer
    And all my friends said I was high
    But everything we've ever known's here
    I never wanted it to die

    i'm way past worrying
    about it getting a hold on me
    i realize i ride on its back for free

    the bed room ritual
    a simple way to feel
    without running the risk of anything real
    ever being given
    ever being known
    back in the bedroom of back home

    predicatably i'll stick to the safety of the script
    but i know i'll end up settling for a less than perfect fit.

    never learn
    they play with fire
    they're gonna get burned

    and i are fools
    we play with love
    we're gonna get burned

    that's what we are
    fools
    we've come too far
    i know

    but then love
    you come to me
    your eyes are on fire
    you're tempting me

    love
    knows no bounds
    begger or king
    it'll bring you down

    fools
    find love somehow
    fools
    we can't stop now
    i know

    but then love
    this i know
    fool i may be
    but i can't let go

    I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
    I wish nothing but the best for you both
    An older version of me
    Is she perverted like me
    Would she go down on you in a theatre
    Does she speak eloquently
    And would she have your baby
    I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

    Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
    To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
    And every time you speak her name
    Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
    Until you died, till you died
    But you're still alive

    And I'm here to remind you
    Of the mess you left when you went away
    It's not fair to deny me
    Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
    You, you, you oughta know

    You seem very well, things look peaceful
    I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
    Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
    I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
    It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
    Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

    Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
    To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
    And every time you speak her name
    Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
    Until you died, til you died
    But you're still alive

    And I'm here to remind you
    Of the mess you left when you went away
    It's not fair to deny me
    Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
    You, you, you oughta know

    Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
    And I'm not gonna fade
    As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
    And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
    I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

    And I'm here to remind you
    Of the mess you left when you went away
    It's not fair to deny me
    Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
    You, you, you oughta know

    Wish you were here...

    It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
    You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
    It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.
    It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
    Speak to me only with your eyes.
    It is to you I give this tune.
    Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from time to time.
    Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
    I never thought it would ever go.
    I cursed the gloom that set upon us...But I know that I love you so
    These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
    This is the wonder of devotion - I seek the torch we all must hold.
    This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall...It's just a little rain...

  • If I get old, I will not give in
    But if I do, remind me of this.
    Remind me that, once I was free,
    Once I was cool, once I was me.

    And if I sit down, and cross my arms,
    Hold me to, this song.

    Knock me out, smash out my brains,
    If I take the chair and start to talk shit.....

    If I get old, remind me of this:
    That night we kissed, and I really meant it.

    Whatever happens, if we're still speaking.
    Pick up the phone, play me this song.
    It's gonna be a glorious day...
