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...

She laughed in my face, told me good-bye
Said "Don't think about it, you can go crazy
Anything can happen, anything can end
Don't try to fight it, don't try to save me"
She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
She don't wanna see
She's a woman in love, but it's not me
Well alright, do what you want
Don't try to talk, don't say nothin'
She used to be the kind of woman
You have and you hold, she could understand the problem
She let the little things go
She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
But she don't wanna know
She's a woman in love, she can't let go
Time after time, night after night
She would look up at me
And say she was lonely
I don't understand the world today
I don't understand what she needed
I gave her everything she threw it all away
On nothin'
She's a woman in love
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
Ill meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Ou everyday there's something new
honey to keep me loving you
and with every passing minute
ah baby so much joy wrapped up in it
oohh heaven must have sent you from above
oohh heaven must have sent your precious love
Beauty is what the eyes behold
and you burn brighter than most
I chased you through the midnight streets
to be where I could speak freely
I didn't care what tomorrow held
I felt the world turning only for us
only bliss now for you and me
rise up let life's kiss send us reeling
And unlike the times before
from yesterday comes tomorrow
when life comes alive the past moves aside
no regrets and no remorse
We have more than everything
more than man or machine
more than luck
more than fiction higher than any religion
And unlike the times before
from yesterday comes tomorrow
when life comes alive the past moves aside
no regrets and no remorse
We'll squeeze the blood out of life
and say goodnight to the silver of old
even when wrong we're right
far beyond the world of diamonds and gold
I've come to realize
where happiness lies
I want you to know I know
And unlike the times before
when life comes alive the past moves aside
no regrets no remorse
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well darling I'm telling you now
You know I did something right
Something that keeps me alive.
Oh you sweet little babies.
When you came you let me know.
I was finally happy.
You knew me before now didn't you.
God you're so lovely.
Did you come here to help me.
And I know you can't sleep well.
Unless I'm right there next to you.
Oh you take care of mommy too.
You're so quick to defend me aren't you.
God you're so lovely yes you are.
You came here to save me didn't you.
You came here to teach me.
And I'm gonna try to teach you.
Know you're everything to me.
Know you have to learn and try.
Please don't fear to lose me.
You know I have those same fears too.
God you're so lovely yeah you are.
You came here to save me didn't you.
You came here to teach me.
Ooh and I'm gonna try to teach you.
Little man and a lady.
So handsome and pretty.
Sometimes don't listen to your mamma no.
And don't do as I do.
Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could
have been oh, what might have been,
if you'd had more time.
Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
And when I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood
It's in the hands of my love
And my love does it good
Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo
My love does it good
And when the cupboard's bare
I'll still find something there with my love
I break down in the middle and lose my thread
no one can understand a word that I say
when I break down just a little and lose my head
nothing I try to do can work the same way...
any time it happend I'd get over it
with a little help from all my friends
anybody else could see whats wrong with me
but they walk away and just pretend....
But I tell myself that I'm doing alright,
there's nothing left to do tonight, but go crazy on you...
My love is the evening breeze touching you skin
the gentle sweet singing of leaves in the wind
the whisper that calls after you in the night
and kisses your ear... in the early light....
You don't need to wonder... you're doing fine...
and my love... the pleasure's mine...
let me go crazy on you, crazy on you, let me go crazy, crazy on you...
I was a willow last night in my dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
I sang you a song that I heard up above
and you keep me alive with your sweet... flowing love...
crazy yeah, crazy on you, crazy on you... let me go crazy, crazy on you.....
So you like someone who thinks really deep thoughts, whats so amazing about really deep thoughts. ____,you best pray that I bleed real soon...how's that thought for ya?

My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there's a heaven
where some screams have gone?
I got 25 bucks and a cracker
Do you think it's enough
To get us there
Is everyone afraid?
Is everyone ashamed?
They're running towards their holes to find out
Apocalyptic means are lost among our dead
A message to our friends to get out
There's wages on this fear
Oh so clear
Depends on what you'll pay to hear
They're bound to kill us all in whitewashed halls
Their jackals lick their paws
Please don't stop it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
Not broken
I love life every day
In each and every way
Kafka would be proud, to find out
I'm certain of the end
It's the means that has me spooked
It takes an unknown truth to get out
I'm guessing I'm born free, silly me
I was meant to beg from my knees
Please don't stop it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
We gotta dig in
Gas masks on
Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
If this is living?
Sakes alive!
Well then they can't win
No one survives
Is everyone afraid?
You should be ashamed
Apocalyptic screams mean nothing to the dead
Kissing that 'ol sun to know all there is
Come on, last call
You should want it all
Ah, it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days when will they ever stop
This ticking in my heart
Is everyone afraid?

I know i'm not too much of a bargain
And you know that's not what you bargained for
As the hours turn into days
Pretty soon lost in the haze
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days
I like waking up after a bad dream
Makes it feel like life ain't bad
Little kids go out to play
They're just happy it's another day
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days
I guess i could be a quiet hero
No one knows the good i've done
You're not sure
Well that's okay
'cause i am
And i'm not afraid
It's up to you and me

These could be the good old days

Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little
everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little
why the Gods above me, who must be in the know
think so little of me, they allow you to go
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it
there's no love song finer, but how strange
the change
from major to minor, everytime we say goodbye
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it
there's no love song finer, but how strange
the change
from major to minor, everytime we say goodbye.
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Just gonna stand there
and watch me burn,
but that's alright,
because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there,
and hear my cry,
but that's alright,
because I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie...
I love that song! Rihanna, right? great song. great voice.
I believe that was a Eminem song with Rihanna as a guest singer on the track.

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face
Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder
How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet
Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud
I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem...why are you crying
Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
If you're perfect
It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice
I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
Ill meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.
Makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence
A fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains
Took alook into your eyes
My tongue has now become
A platform for your lies
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?

You know I did something right
Something that keeps me alive.
Oh you sweet little babies.
When you came you let me know.

You know I have those same fears too.
God you're so lovely yeah you are.
You came here to save me didn't you.
You came here to teach me.
Ooh and I'm gonna try to teach you.
Little man and a lady.
So handsome and pretty.
Sometimes don't listen to your mamma no.
And don't do as I do.
our time here so short
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could
have been oh, what might have been,
if you'd had more time.
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood
It's in the hands of my love
And my love does it good
Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo
My love does it good
And when the cupboard's bare

the whisper that calls after you in the night
and kisses your ear... in the early light....
You don't need to wonder... you're doing fine...

let me go crazy on you, crazy on you, let me go crazy, crazy on you...
I was a willow last night in my dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
I sang you a song that I heard up above
and you keep me alive with your sweet... flowing love...
crazy yeah, crazy on you, crazy on you... let me go crazy, crazy on you.....
and I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
and I thought about you
Two or three cars parked under the stars
winding stream
moon shining down on some little town
and with each beam,
the same old dream
And every stop that we made
Oh, I thought about you
and when I pulled down the shade
then I really felt blue
what song is that from, justam?
I love that song! Rihanna, right? great song. great voice.
...
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there's a heaven
where some screams have gone?
I got 25 bucks and a cracker
Do you think it's enough
To get us there
~~Tori Amos
walls,
described you clearly, but the sky began to fall
Am I ever gonna see your face again?
Trams cars and taxis, like a wax-works on the
move
carrying young girls past me, but none of them
are you
Am I ever gonna see your face again?
Without you near me I got no place to go
wait at the bar, maybe you might show
Am I ever gonna see your face again?
I got to stop these tears that's falling from my
eye
go walk out in the rain, so no one sees me cry
Am I ever gonna see your face again?
Can't stop the memory that goes climbing through
my brain
I get no answer so the question still remains
Am I ever gonna see your face again?
can brink back a memory
take you to another place and time
even change your state of mind....
An old Frank Sinatra song called "I thought about you."
Is everyone afraid?
Is everyone ashamed?
They're running towards their holes to find out
Apocalyptic means are lost among our dead
A message to our friends to get out
There's wages on this fear
Oh so clear
Depends on what you'll pay to hear
They're bound to kill us all in whitewashed halls
Their jackals lick their paws
Please don't stop it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
Not broken
I love life every day
In each and every way
Kafka would be proud, to find out
I'm certain of the end
It's the means that has me spooked
It takes an unknown truth to get out
I'm guessing I'm born free, silly me
I was meant to beg from my knees
Please don't stop it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
We gotta dig in
Gas masks on
Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
If this is living?
Sakes alive!
Well then they can't win
No one survives
Is everyone afraid?
You should be ashamed
Apocalyptic screams mean nothing to the dead
Kissing that 'ol sun to know all there is
Come on, last call
You should want it all
Ah, it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days when will they ever stop
This ticking in my heart
Is everyone afraid?

You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice
I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice
Alice- Tom Waits (What a legend, what amazing poetry!!!!)
