Lyrics of the moment

            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..."0

            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"0
- 
            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"0
- 
            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"0
- 
            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"0
- 
            I dream of sweet caress from you"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0

            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...
 
 Wish you were here...

            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 late0

            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,
 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.."You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."0

            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.0
