We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.
And still I see no changes. Can't a brother get a little peace?
There's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East.
Instead of war on poverty,
they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do.
But now I'm back with the facts givin' 'em back to you.
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp smack you up.
You gotta learn to hold ya own.
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone.
But tell the cops they can't touch this.
I don't trust this, when they try to rush I bust this.
That's the sound of my tune. You say it ain't cool, but mama didn't raise no fool.
And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped & I never get to lay back.
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs.
Some buck that I roughed up way back... comin' back after all these years.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. That's the way it is. uhh

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you,
I can't play with you no more,
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,
My friend, the boy next door.
I can't believe what people saying,
You're gonna let your hair hang down,
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,
You're in the darker side of town.
And when I'm out I see you walking,
Why don't your eyes see me,
Could it be you've found another game to play,
What did mama say to me.
That's the way, oh,
That's the way it ought to be,
Yeah, yeah, mama say
That's the way it ought to stay.
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.
I don't know what to say about it,
When all you ears have turned away,
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?
That's the way...
That's the way it oughtta be
Oh don't you know now, mama said..
That's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.
I can see that you're hurting
Weighed down like a beast of burden
About to break your back.
God only knows that you're human
So what are they trying to do then
Believe me, they don't understand
That you have the wieght of the world today
It's on your back
A heavy load like that is gonna hold you back
It's gonna drag you down
You know it just can't last, just can't
You know it just can't last
They thought they could use you
Push you down and abuse you
And what's so sad is you've decided to hide
All your feelings
Got more pain than you can deal with
But ask yourself how can this last
I know you have the weight of the world today
It's on your back
A heavy load like that is gonna hold you back
It's gonna drag you down
You know it just can't last, just can't
You know it just can't last ...
So if I haunt you, if I do
If my shadow leans up on you too
No good intentions or ways I talk
I'll just leave a light lit for you to walk
I'll leave a light lit for you to walk
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying, “Save me now”
You were there impossibly alone
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go
Let it go
And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go
Let it go

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren’t so simple
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
A man lies in his bed, in a room with no door
He waits hoping for a presence, something, anything, to enter
After spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank
As the ceiling at which he's staring
He's alive, but feels absolutely nothing
So, is he?
When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him
By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact
No trade-backs...
So this is what it's like to be an adult
If he only knew now what he knew then...
I'm open
I'm open
Come in
Come in
Come in
Come in
I'm open
I'm open
Come in
Come in
Come in
Come in
Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers
He decides to dream...
Dream up a new self... for himself
My love is a man who's not been tamed
Well my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain
We come from different worlds we are the same - my love ...
Darkness, Darkness be my pillow,
Take my hand and let me sleep,
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence of your deep.
Darkness, Darkness hide my yearning,
For the things I can not see,
Keep my mind from constant turning,
To the things I can not be.
Darkness, Darkness be my blanket,
Cover me with this endless night,
Take away oh this pain of knowing,
Fill this emptiness with light,
Emptiness with light now.
Darkness, Darkness long and lonesome,
As the day that brings me here,
I have found the edge of sadness,
I have the known the depths of fear,
Darkness, Darkness be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away oh this pain of knowing,
Fill this emptiness with light now,
Emptiness with light now.
Darkness, Darkness be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away oh, this pain of knowing,
Fill this emptiness with light now,
Ohh, with light now.
Darkness, Darkness be my pillow,
Take my hand,
And let me sleep,
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence of your deep,
In the silence of your deep,
In the oh oh hey yeah oh,
In the summer babe,
Oh yeah oh in the summer baby,
In the summer baby,
oh ooo yeah,
Come on come on come on baby....
And the sign said,
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply."
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why.
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man.
I think you'll do."
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that.
huh , me workin' for you."
Whoa, sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scen'ry.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?
And the sign said,
"Anybody caught trespassin'
Will be shot on sight."
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
"Hey! What gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out,
But to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face,
'Man, you're some kind of sinner.'"
Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?
Now, hey you, Mister, can't you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat.
You can't even watch. No, you can't eat.
You ain't supposed to be here.
The sign said, "You've got to have a membership card
To get inside." Uh.
And the sign said, "Everybody welcome.
Come in. Kneel down and pray."
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all,
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign.
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me.
I'm alive and doin' fine."
Whoo! Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?
Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Sign, sign.

I am no superman not at all
I have no answers for you
I am no hero, and thats for sure
But I do know one thing
Where you go, is where I want to be
Where are you going?
Where do you go?
Are you looking for answers
For reasons under the stars
If along the way, you are growing weary
You can rest with me until a brighter day
I am no superman, thats for sure
And I have no answers, yeah
I am no hero, oh dont you know~
But I do know one thing,
Where you are is where I belong
Where you go, I do know, is where I belong
All my life I've been the slave of consequence
wondering how this life could be so intricate.
I wanna rewrite my heart and let the future in
I wanna open it up and let somebody in
can you free me from the logic that I knew
I believe it even if it is not true.
Am I falling asleep on my feet again?
I call out, is anybody listening
and it's like I'm diving into emptiness
but at least there's something beating in my chest
can you free me from the logic that I knew
I believe it even if it is not true.
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
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
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-
ful at night
I won't live for-
ever
You can't keep
Me here

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a 'roll
A 'roll, a 'roll
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
Acting like a robot
It's metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes, explodes
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tall
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

You're not a stranger to me
And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot but you're unaware how to leave
My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise ....
I'm gonna save you from here
I'm not gonna lose you
I'm feeling cocky and strong
can't let you go
you're too important to me
Too important to us
I'd be lost without you
Baby, let yourself fall
I'm right below you now
And f*ck me if I say something you don't wanna hear
And f*ck me
if you only hear what you wanna hear
but I'm not leaving here
You helped me when I was down
I'll help when you're down
Why are you hitting yourself
c'mon hit me instead
Let's pick up your will
it's grown fat and lazy
I'm sympathetic as well
don't go on me now
And I'm not living this life without you,
(I'm selfish and clear)
And you're not leaving here without me,
I don't wanna be without
My best
friend
wake up to see you could
have it all
all
Cause there is but you
something within you
It's taken control
let's beat it, get up, let's go
You're in your own world,
let's see the whole world
Let's pick up your soul
I'm right below you now
You're not a stranger to me
And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot but you're unaware how to leave
My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise ....
Oh who
is the beauty
...who the beast
would you die, of grieving
You're not a stranger to me
And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot but you're unaware how to leave
My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise ....
Oh who
is the beauty
...who the beast
would you die, of grieving
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
She's my baby, you know she's alright.....
I heard a tale of old Manhattan
I've never been there but I want to go
Standing waiting on my number .......
"And I think i'm gonna stick around for a while so you're not alone........and every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me" -The White Stripes-
On the day that I was born
They say I came out wearing these same clothes
Since then I’ve been trying to find out
Where I got these same clothes
I went to every store asked every tailor there could be
Wondering if somebody had the same clothes as me
And It took a while but I’ve learned
There’s nobody with these same clothes
When I wake this morning
I’ll get up, put on these same clothes
And I’ll step into the sunlight
And start walking in these same clothes
When the air turns cold and the clouds bring the rain
These clothes they will protect me till the skies clear up again
And against the wind I will button up
The collar on these same clothes
When we first met,
I’m sure that I was showing off these same clothes
And when I gave my heart to you
I did so in these same clothes
Before we made love
You peeled off each one from my skin
Till there was nothing left to keep you from coming in
And you saw who I am
In the absence of these same clothes
When they get dirty
I wash them with care
Oh, these same clothes
And when they lose a button or they tear
I mend these same clothes
On those days when I dwell
Not on what is but what is not
I look at other people and I want the clothes they’ve got
Until I realize I could have nothing but these same clothes
And our children will know what it means
To have a loving home
But there are things
They’ll have to figure out on their own
And I promise I won’t ever try
To make them wear these same clothes
When I leave this world
Please separate me from these same clothes
Burn them into ash
No one can ever wear these same clothes
If you knew me well
You’ll know how much I cherished you
Remember that I wore these clothes
The only way I knew
And I was happy
And I was blessed
And how I loved to wear these same clothes
Yes, I was happy
And I was blessed
And how I loved to wear these same clothes
I was happy
And I was blessed
And how I loved to wear these same clothes
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
I think I can fly
Probably just falling
I think I'm the life and soul
Probably just snorting
I think I can hit the mark
Probably just aiming
I think my name is on your lips
Probably complaining
I think I have caught it bad
Probably contagious
I think I'm a winner baby
Probably Las Vegas
Come on
“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”
You wanted me to bend
So I bent like a tree
To become the man
That you wanted me to be
But I leaned so hard
That I thought I would break
Yeah, I leaned so hard and that was my mistake
So you don’t know what you’re asking of me
No, you don’t know what you’re asking of me
To prove my love
You set out three tests
Three reasons for your unhappiness
I passed them all
For you I prevailed
Yeah, I passed them all
But I still failed
So you don’t know
What you’re asking of me
No, you don’t know
What you’re asking of me
Is it harder than you thought
Being cruel and free
And you don’t know
What you’re asking of me
Now you call me up
When your mind’s in doubt
To weigh the cost
And to feel me out
But the answer was carved
On the stone you cast
Yeah, the answer’s fading
In the past
So you don’t know what you’re asking of me
No, you don’t know what you’re asking of me
Is it harder than you thought
Being cruel and free
You don’t know what you’re asking of me
No, you don’t know what you’re asking of me
You don’t know what you’re asking of me
No, no, no, no
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
Meet me down by the railway station
I've been waiting
And I'm through waiting for you
The train sings the same kind of blues
Well I don't know why I always trusted
Sometimes I think I must have
I must have been crazy
Crazy to wait on you, baby
Well I turned around and got pushed down, baby
Now I decided yesterday that I would leave you
I'm alright...
Please, I've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love
That's alright...
That's alright
I believe, I believe that I know you
'Cause we've been a long time,
Now I've got to show you, that I
Well, I never did beleive in time
You know, changin' anybody's mind
Now, I can't define love like it should be
That's alright,
That's alright
Please, I've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love
That's alright, yes
That's alright .....

I have found the edge of sadness,
I have the known the depths of fear,
Darkness, Darkness be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away oh this pain of knowing,
Fill this emptiness with light now,
Emptiness with light now.
Darkness, Darkness be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away oh, this pain of knowing,
Fill this emptiness with light now,
Ohh, with light now.
Darkness, Darkness be my pillow,
Take my hand,
And let me sleep,
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence of your deep,
In the silence of your deep,
In the oh oh hey yeah oh,
In the summer babe,
Oh yeah oh in the summer baby,
In the summer baby,
oh ooo yeah,
Come on come on come on baby....
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply."
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why.
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man.
I think you'll do."
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that.
huh , me workin' for you."
Whoa, sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scen'ry.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?
And the sign said,
"Anybody caught trespassin'
Will be shot on sight."
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
"Hey! What gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out,
But to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face,
'Man, you're some kind of sinner.'"
Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?
Now, hey you, Mister, can't you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat.
You can't even watch. No, you can't eat.
You ain't supposed to be here.
The sign said, "You've got to have a membership card
To get inside." Uh.
And the sign said, "Everybody welcome.
Come in. Kneel down and pray."
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all,
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign.
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me.
I'm alive and doin' fine."
Whoo! Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?
Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Sign, sign.

if i don’t get with your system then i’m sure to fit
you ain’t seen nothin’ yet
lay down the truth don’t make a sound
just a piece of fruit who’s hit the ground
i don’t respond
i’ve lost the plot
unethical
not what i thought
you can think that i’m evil and i’m all for it
you ain’t seen nothin yet
i’m a bit transgressive and suppressive as well
you ain’t seen nothing yet
am i a disruption to your corruption?
you ain’t seen nothing yet
(instrumental break)
you can think that i’m evil and all for it

no longer elated, now you’re frustrated

I am no superman not at all
I have no answers for you
I am no hero, and thats for sure
But I do know one thing
Where you go, is where I want to be
Where are you going?
Where do you go?
Are you looking for answers
For reasons under the stars
If along the way, you are growing weary
You can rest with me until a brighter day
I am no superman, thats for sure
And I have no answers, yeah
I am no hero, oh dont you know~
But I do know one thing,
Where you are is where I belong
Where you go, I do know, is where I belong
Tell everyone you know
Open up the door
When your love has gone
You carry on
This is her song
This the song for no one
You can jump a ride
But don't ask why
And don't close your eyes
This the song for no one
wondering how this life could be so intricate.
I wanna rewrite my heart and let the future in
I wanna open it up and let somebody in
can you free me from the logic that I knew
I believe it even if it is not true.
Am I falling asleep on my feet again?
I call out, is anybody listening
and it's like I'm diving into emptiness
but at least there's something beating in my chest
can you free me from the logic that I knew
I believe it even if it is not true.
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
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-
ful at night
I won't live for-
ever
You can't keep
Me here
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a 'roll
A 'roll, a 'roll
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
Acting like a robot
It's metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes, explodes
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tall
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
Peace

And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot but you're unaware how to leave
My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise ....
I'm not gonna lose you
I'm feeling cocky and strong
can't let you go
you're too important to me
Too important to us
I'd be lost without you
Baby, let yourself fall
I'm right below you now
And f*ck me if I say something you don't wanna hear
And f*ck me
if you only hear what you wanna hear
but I'm not leaving here
You helped me when I was down
I'll help when you're down
Why are you hitting yourself
c'mon hit me instead
Let's pick up your will
it's grown fat and lazy
I'm sympathetic as well
don't go on me now
And I'm not living this life without you,
(I'm selfish and clear)
And you're not leaving here without me,
I don't wanna be without
My best
friend
wake up to see you could
have it all
all
Cause there is but you
something within you
It's taken control
let's beat it, get up, let's go
You're in your own world,
let's see the whole world
Let's pick up your soul
I'm right below you now
Please help me
to help you
help yourself
please let me to
please let me to
help you
Oh who
is the beauty
...who the beast
would you die, of grieving
when I leave
Hello Shezhad :wave:
Are you still heading to the states this year ???
Close my eyes and listen
I can hear the lonesome sound
Of the sky as it cries ....
Listen to the rain....
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
She's my baby, you know she's alright.....
I heard a tale of old Manhattan
I've never been there but I want to go
Standing waiting on my number .......
They say I came out wearing these same clothes
Since then I’ve been trying to find out
Where I got these same clothes
I went to every store asked every tailor there could be
Wondering if somebody had the same clothes as me
And It took a while but I’ve learned
There’s nobody with these same clothes
When I wake this morning
I’ll get up, put on these same clothes
And I’ll step into the sunlight
And start walking in these same clothes
When the air turns cold and the clouds bring the rain
These clothes they will protect me till the skies clear up again
And against the wind I will button up
The collar on these same clothes
When we first met,
I’m sure that I was showing off these same clothes
And when I gave my heart to you
I did so in these same clothes
Before we made love
You peeled off each one from my skin
Till there was nothing left to keep you from coming in
And you saw who I am
In the absence of these same clothes
When they get dirty
I wash them with care
Oh, these same clothes
And when they lose a button or they tear
I mend these same clothes
On those days when I dwell
Not on what is but what is not
I look at other people and I want the clothes they’ve got
Until I realize I could have nothing but these same clothes
And our children will know what it means
To have a loving home
But there are things
They’ll have to figure out on their own
And I promise I won’t ever try
To make them wear these same clothes
When I leave this world
Please separate me from these same clothes
Burn them into ash
No one can ever wear these same clothes
If you knew me well
You’ll know how much I cherished you
Remember that I wore these clothes
The only way I knew
And I was happy
And I was blessed
And how I loved to wear these same clothes
Yes, I was happy
And I was blessed
And how I loved to wear these same clothes
I was happy
And I was blessed
And how I loved to wear these same clothes
Raised by wolves, she's got saddest eye
And she will cut you, down to size"
I think I can fly
Probably just falling
I think I'm the life and soul
Probably just snorting
I think I can hit the mark
Probably just aiming
I think my name is on your lips
Probably complaining
I think I have caught it bad
Probably contagious
I think I'm a winner baby
Probably Las Vegas
Come on
You wasted my time
It's true, it's true
My god, don't you hold out your hand
I called off my plans
I counted on you, on you
And if you're ever left with any doubt
What you live with and what you'll do without
I'm only sorry that it took so long to figure out
Got lost in the places I've been
I should go out with my friends
I'd go tonight but I know you'll be there too, there too
For me, this bottle of wine
Is to slow down my mind
And forget the things that I knew, I knew
And if you're ever left with any doubt
What you live with and what you'll do without
I'm only sorry that it took so long to figure out ....
So I bent like a tree
To become the man
That you wanted me to be
But I leaned so hard
That I thought I would break
Yeah, I leaned so hard and that was my mistake
So you don’t know what you’re asking of me
No, you don’t know what you’re asking of me
To prove my love
You set out three tests
Three reasons for your unhappiness
I passed them all
For you I prevailed
Yeah, I passed them all
But I still failed
So you don’t know
What you’re asking of me
No, you don’t know
What you’re asking of me
Is it harder than you thought
Being cruel and free
And you don’t know
What you’re asking of me
Now you call me up
When your mind’s in doubt
To weigh the cost
And to feel me out
But the answer was carved
On the stone you cast
Yeah, the answer’s fading
In the past
So you don’t know what you’re asking of me
No, you don’t know what you’re asking of me
Is it harder than you thought
Being cruel and free
You don’t know what you’re asking of me
No, you don’t know what you’re asking of me
You don’t know what you’re asking of me
No, no, no, no
I've been waiting
And I'm through waiting for you
The train sings the same kind of blues
Well I don't know why I always trusted
Sometimes I think I must have
I must have been crazy
Crazy to wait on you, baby
Well I turned around and got pushed down, baby
Now I decided yesterday that I would leave you
I'm alright...
Please, I've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love
That's alright...
That's alright
I believe, I believe that I know you
'Cause we've been a long time,
Now I've got to show you, that I
Well, I never did beleive in time
You know, changin' anybody's mind
Now, I can't define love like it should be
That's alright,
That's alright
Please, I've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love
That's alright, yes
That's alright .....
