Lyrics of the moment

the time has come
a fact's a fact
it belongs to them
let's give it back
how can we dance when our earth is turning?
how do we sleep while our beds are burning?"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
***minor adjustment...Brandy should be read as Brandi***
There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
And there's a girl, in this harbor town
And she works, laying whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor
From the sea."
Brandy, wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the north of Spain
A locket, that bears the name
Of a man that Brandy loved
He came, on a summer's day
Bringing gifts, from far away
But he made it clear, he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home
The sailors said "Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover, my lady
Is the sea."
Yeah Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor's story
She could feel the ocean fall and rise, she saw it's raging glory
But he had always told the truth,
Lord he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
At night, when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man, who's not around
She still can hear him say, she hears him say
"Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover, my lady
Is the sea"
"Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover, my lady
Is the sea""I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0 -
told me you love me
that i'd never die alone
hand over your heart
let's go home
everyone noticed,
everyone has seen the signs
i've always been known
to cross lines
i never ever
cried when i was feeling down
i've always been scared of the sound
jesus don't love me
no one's ever carried my load
i'm too young to feel this old
just scored some KOL tickets for tonight...if they play "cold desert" people might see a grown man tear up... :oops: :oops:

Why, why, does he do me that way?
If they say
'Why?', why, tell 'em that it's 'human nature'
'Why, why, does he do me that way?'
If they say
'Why?', why, tell 'em that it's 'human nature'
'Why, why, does he do me that way?'
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
'She likes the way I stare'
Looking out
Across the nightime
Where the city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
And there's nothing left to say
This love...
Is over."I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0 -
Hello
what the hell am I doin' here?0 -
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
remember....
we are eternal all this pain is an illusion...0 -
I was born here and I’ll die here, against my will.
I know it looks like I’m moving, but I’m standing still.
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb.
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from.
Don’t even hear a murmur of a prayer.
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there..."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
and it's no accident that these rhymes sound toughCancel my subscription to the Ressurection
Send my credentials to the house of detention0 -
Change don't come at once
It's a wave
Building before it breaks"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0 -
I don't have the time
to go back in time
I already lived itPeace, Love.

its heaven or hell here....which one will i live today.
(mostly heaven. good lyrics)0 -
I don't care about what they say
i won't live or die that way.;.0 -
The answers are fatal
If he's truly out of site....?
Is he truly out of mind....?*********************************************************************************************0 -
Three-thirty in the morning,
not a soul in sight
the city's lookin' like a ghost town
on a moonless summer night
raindrops on the windshild, there's a storm moving in...
He's headin' back from somewhere...that he never should have been...
Every light is burnin', in a house across town
she's pacin' by the telephone, in her faded flannel gown...
asking for a miracle, hoping she's not right
prayin' it's the weather, thats kept him out all night....
Another love grows cold, on a sleepless night
as the storm blows on, out of control, deep in her heart...
the thunder rolls
She's waitin' by the window, when he pulls into the drive
she rushes to hold him, thankful he's alive
through all the wind and rain
a strange new perfume blows
and the lightnin' flashes in her eyes, and He knows that She knows....
and the thunder rolls,
and the thunder rolls....*********************************************************************************************0 -
It's not livin', what you're doin'
If it feels like dyin'"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0 -
and for a moment i lose myself
wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
i've journeyed here and there and back again
but in the same old haunts i still find my friends
mysteries not ready to reveal
sympathies i'm ready to return"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0
