Killing me softly
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly,
With his song telling my whole life
With his words,
Killing me softly,
With his song
[lauryn]
I heard he sang a good song, i heard he
had a style,
And so i came to see him and listen for a
while.
And there he was this young boy,
stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each
one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish,
But he just kept right on strumming my
pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song
[clef]
Yo l-boogie, take it to the bridge
[lauryn]
(bust it)
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
Strumming my pain with his finger, yeah
he was . . .
Linger
If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why you were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you
But I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a
fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
And I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a
fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
And I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a
fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
Benighted
Come into this night
When days are done
Lost and astray
In what's vanished from your eyes
What came and distorted your sight
Saw you benighted by your fright
Come into this night
Your plight alone
Carry your weight
You are flawed as all of us
Come into this night
Your only home
"Face Of Melinda"
By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
The face of Melinda neath blackened
hair
No joy would flicker in her eyes
Brooding sadness came to a rise
Words would falter to atone
Failure had passed the stepping stone
She’d sworn her vows to another
This is when no-one will bother
And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
A harlot of God upon the earth
Found where she sacrificed her ways
That hollow love in her face
Still I plotted to have her back
The contentment that would fill the crack
My soul released a fluttering sigh
This day fell, the darkness night
I took her by the hand to say
All faith forever has been washed away
I returned for you in great dismay
Come with me, far away to stay
Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
She spoke of her vices and broke the
rhyme
But baffled herself with the final line
My promise is made but my heart is thine
Me and Mrs. Jones
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We meet every day at the same cafe
Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the juke box plays our favorite
songs
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We gotta be extra careful
That do we don't build our hopes up too
high
‘cause she's got her own obligations
And so, and so, do I
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
Well, it's time for us to be leaving
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
Tomorrow we'll meet
The same place, the same time
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
Fly me to the moon
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me
Fill my heart with song and
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and I adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
'WHY DON'T YOU DO RIGHT?'
You had plenty money, Nineteen-Forty-
One
You lost it all and then away did run
Why don't you do right like some other
men do?
Get out of here and get me some money
too
You're sittin' down wonderin' what it's all
about
You ain't got no money, they will put you
out
Why don't you do right like some other
men do?
Get out of here and get me some money
too
(Orchestral Break)
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wanderin' now from
door to door
Why don't you do right like some other
men do?
Get out of here and get me some money
too
Why don't you do right like some other
men do?
Like some other men do
Like some other men do...
HOW DID HE LOOK?
So you runned in to my former fiancé, you
saw him dancing in some café
No, I haven’t seen him since a year ago,
and there are so many things I’d like to
know…
How did he look? Did he seemed happy?
While they were dancing did he whisper
things in her ear?
And did he light her cigarette, was he
attentive?
The way he used to be with me.
What was she like? Was she attractive?
Was there a smile upon his face or did he
seem bored?
Not that I really care, I know that our love
affair can never be
But how did he look, and did he ask
about me?
ALL HOPE IS GONE
A tireless stream of indifference flows
Through veins till the river runs dry
I no longer care, I have all but disposed
Of dreams that I once held inside
Desire is gone after all of the years
The fight has been lost and concede
The apathy born a long time ago
Has grown to what I can't defeat
I've been here too long
I'm tired and longing for more
How long must I run
To find what I'm looking for
All hope is gone
The sadness I carry so deep in my heart
Of what could have been and might be
Is never forgotten, it's never too far
I'm wasted so worn and so weak
I've been here too long
I'm tired and longing for more
How long must I run
To find what I'm looking for
All hope is gone
(Solo)
I've been here too long
I'm tired and longing for more
How long must I run
To find what I'm looking for
I've been here too long
I'm tired and longing for more
All hope is gone
All hope is gone
All hope is gone
LOVER
If you deny the wounds of your lover, you
will discover
That what you had is shattered and
wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
The truth exposed and love is devoured
And the ivory tower is coming down
A vow betrayed and honor is broken
The wounds are open and bleeding out
But it's all I can do to carry on
It brings all I fear to life
(chorus)
If you deny the wounds of your lover
You will discover
That what you had is shattered and
wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
Should you have to throw it all away?
Did you have to shove it in my face?
Did you have to tear my world apart?
Did you have to take so selfishly?
No matter how you hurt the ones you
need?
Did you have to fall so very far?
[x2]
The trigger's warm, the chamber is
loaded
Lost in the moment
What went wrong?
There's nothing left, this house has been
broken
But still I'm holding, I'm holding on
If you deny the wounds of your lover
You will discover
That what you had is shattered and
wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
If you deny the wounds of your lover
You will discover
Oh...
You can see it in your love
The wounds are open and I'm bleeding
out
It's so real
If you deny the wounds of your lover
(Now that you've gone so far)
You will discover
(Can you live with what you've done and
who you are?)
That what you had is shattered and
wasted
(Now that you've gone so far)
(Can you live with what you've done and
who you are?)
Did you have to take it so far?
Te odio
Te odio.
Odio las canciones de amor
que traen tu recuerdo a mi casa.
Las ganas de verte.
Y odio
el cielo en tu rostro y las dudas
de echarte al olvido o llamarte
para contarte,
qué sé yo,
que sigo existiendo,
que te odio por fin,
que no sé
si el mundo resiste sin ti.
Tanto, tanto, tanto, tanto te odio.
Te odio.
Odio la mañana, el café
sin planes, sin ti y en ayunas
perdura tu aroma y lo odio.
Envuelto en papel de colores
te envío bengalas, rencores.
Quizá recuerdes así
que te odio. También tu sonrisa
y la brisa arañando tu piel,
y mi corazón ya de paso.
Tanto, tanto, tanto, tanto lo odio.
Este viejo odio
que hiela los jazmines,
ama tu figura aborrecible.
Y así, si te marchas,
quedan los rencores
para recordarme las razones
de por qué me eres imprescindible,
de por qué te extraño aunque me
olvides.
Te odio.
Odio tu belleza y a mí
me odio al saberme tan lejos
del viejo camino andado
rastreando hadas y cometas,
la estrella prendida en tu pelo.
Maldito lucero. Lo odio.
Odio odiarte tanto,
saber que te encuentras perdida
y la vida me impide encontrarte.
Tanto, tanto, tanto, tanto te odio.
Yo odio
perseguir tu rastro,
cansado en este laberinto.
Cual hilo de Ariadna tus huellas
me llevan hasta el dulce tiempo
de besos, promesas. Lo odio.
Soy tan feliz
a tu lado que odio
que ya no estés cerca
y empieza a cansarme este odio.
Quizá si tuviera tus manos
Pero te odio tanto, tanto, tanto, tanto.
Este viejo odio
que hiela los jazmines,
ama tu figura aborrecible.
Y así, si te marchas,
quedan los rencores
para recordarme las razones
de por qué me eres imprescindible,
de por qué te extraño aunque me
olvides.
Instrucciones para salvar el odio
eternamente
Si ella se va no la perdones.
Si te deja cultiva bien tu odio.
Nunca seas generoso en olvido, si ella se
va.
Si te deja no digas adiós
o "Qué vamos a hacerle", no pidas
perdón.
No repases vuestras fotos
y, mirándole a los ojos,
regálale eterno tu odio.
Si ella se va no trates nunca de
entenderla.
Maldice sus pasos.
Nunca creas sus despedidas, sus
promesas, su explicación.
Y provoca llanto y dolor,
que queme su conciencia como el sol,
que el adiós le corte como una cuchilla.
No te confundas, ella es la asesina.
Porque cuando ella se va
alguien la esperará en la esquina.
En otros brazos reirá con otras mentiras,
dirá "Te amo, cuanto tiempo te he
estado esperando".
Y te olvidará, todo habrá muerto,
y aquel otoño nunca habrá sido vuestro.
Para qué mentir, que ella se lleve,
aunque dure poco, tu odio para siempre
Misty
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up
a tree
And I feel like I'm hanging from a cloud, I
can't understand
I get misty, just holding your hand, walk
my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
This magic I hear, I get misty the moment
you're near
You could say that you're leading me on,
but it's just what I want you to do
Can't you see just how hopelessly I'm
drawn, that's why I'm following you
On my own, would I wander through this
wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
my hat from my glove
I get misty, and too much in love on my
own
Would I wander through this wonderland
alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat and my glove, I get misty and too
much in love
Look at me
"Cry Of Achilles"
Crying out.
Now you can’t escape you are buried in
doubt
And it pulls you down
Now you’re in too deep you may never
get out
Such an awful place
Tear it down
It’s almost too late is the end coming now
As you scream out loud?
You sever the peace til your truth has
been found
Is there nothing left to follow?
Is there nothing left to steal?
Crying out for something more than I’ve
been shown
Knowing none of this is real
[Chorus:]
Don’t close your eyes
Something beautiful is still alive
Don’t close your eyes
Never turn away and let it die
I cannot seem to find the answers
Every truth has slipped away
All that real is we will never cease to be
Still I search this world in vain
[Chorus]
Cry out to save tomorrow
It’s not too late
Or your heavy heart will follow
You to the grave
This is not the end. This is not the end
[Chorus]
We can’t hesitate, hope is not too late
For the time has come, what have we
become?
Nothing left to do but deny the truth
"The Enemy Inside"
Over and over again
I relive the moment
I'm bearing the burden within
Open wounds hidden under my skin
Pain is real as a cut that bleeds
The face I see every time I try to sleep
Staring at me crying
[CHORUS]
I'm running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories are etched
upon my mind
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
I sever myself from the world
and shut down completely
All alone in my own living hell
overcome with irrational fear
Under the weight of the world on my
chest
I buckle and break as I try to catch my
breath
Tell me I'm not dying
[CHORUS]
I'm running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories are etched
upon my mind
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
I'm a burden and a travesty
I'm a prisoner of regret
Between the flashbacks and the violent
dreams
I am hanging on the edge
Disaster lurks around the bend
Paradise came to an end
And no magic pill
can bring it back again
[CHORUS] And this voice cannot be
I'm running from the enemy inside Stifled by your deviant ways
Looking for the life I left behind So don't forget what I told you
These suffocating memories are etched Don't come around
upon my mind I got my own hell to raise
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
Don't make it a big deal
Don't be so sensitive
We're not playing
"Sleep To Dream" A game anymore
I tell you how I feel You don't have
But you don't care To be so defensive
I say tell me the truth Don't you plead me your case
But you don't dare Don't bother to explain
You say love is a hell Don't even show me your face
You cannot bear 'Cause it's a crying shame
And I say gimme mine Just go back to the rock
Back and then go there From under which you came
For all I care Take the sorrow you gave
I got my feet And all the stakes you claim
On the ground And don't forget the blame
And I don't go to
Sleep to dream I got my feet
You got your head On the ground
In the clouds And I don't go
And you're not at To sleep to dream
All what you seem You got your head
This mind, this body In the clouds and
And this voice cannot be You're not at all
Stifled by your deviant ways What you seem
So don't forget what I told you This mind, this body
Don't come around And this voice cannot be
I got my own hell to raise Stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget
I have never been What I told you
So insulted in all my life Don't come around
I could swallow the seas I got my own hell to raise
To wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool
Just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool "Sullen Girl"
But you just run to hide Days like this
And I can't abide I don't know what
To do with myself
I got my feet All day and all night
On the ground I wander the halls
And I don't go Along the walls and
To sleep to dream Under my breath
You got your head I say to myself
In the clouds and I need fuel
You're not at all To take flight
What you seem And there's too
This mind, this body Much going on
But it's calm under
The waves
In the blue of my oblivion
Under the waves in
The blue of my oblivion
Is that why they call me
A sullen girl, sullen girl
They don't know
I used to sail the
Deep and tranquil sea
Nut he washed me shore
And he took my pearl
And left an empty
Shell of me
And there's too
Much going on
But it's calm under the waves
In the blue of my oblivion
Under the waves
In the blue of my oblivion
Under the waves
In the blue of my oblivion
It's calm under the waves
In the blue of my oblivion
"Shadowboxer"
Once my lover
Now my friend
What a cruel thing
To pretend
What a cunning way
To condescend
Once my lover and
Now my friend
Oh, you creep up
Like the clouds
And you set my soul at ease
Then you let
Your love abound
And you bring me
To my knees
Oh, it's evil, babe
The way you let
Your grace enrapture me
When will you know
I'd be insane
To ever let that
Dirty game recapture me
You made me
A shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready
For what you do
I've been swinging
All around me
'Cause I don't know
When you're gonna
Make your move
Oh, your gaze
Is dangerous
And you fill your
Space so sweet
If I let you
Get too close
You'll set your
Spell on me
So darlin'
I just wanna say
Just in case
I don't come through
I was on to every play
I just wanted you
But, oh, it's so evil
My love
The way you've no
Reverence to my concern
So I'll be sure to
Stay wary of you, love
To save the pain of
Once my flame and
Twice my burn
You made me
A shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready
For what you do
I've been swinging
All around me
'Cause I don't know
When you're gonna
Make your move
"Criminal"
I've been a bad bad girl
I've been careless
With a delicate man
And it's a sad sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and
I want to
Suffer for my sins
I've come to you
'Cause I need
Guidance to be true
And I just don't know
Where I can begin
What I need is
A good defense
'Cause I'm feelin'
Like a criminal
And I need
To be redeemed
To the one
I've sinned against
Because he's all
I ever knew of love
Heaven help me
For the way I am
Save me from
These evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings
The consequence at hand
But I keep livin' this day like
The next will never come
Oh help me but
Don't tell me to deny it
I've got to cleanse myself
Of all these lies till
I'm good enough for him
I've got a lot to lose
And I'm bettin' high
So I'm beggin' you
Before it ends
Just tell me where to begin
What I need
Is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin'
Like a criminal
And I need
To be redeemed
To the one
I've sinned against
Because he's all
I ever knew of love
Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay
The law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know
What I need
Is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin'
Like a criminal
And I need
To be redeemed
To the one
I've sinned against
Because he's all
I ever knew of love
What I need is
A good defense
'Cause I'm feelin'
Like a criminal
And I need
To be redeemed
To the one
I've sinned against
Because he's all
I ever knew of love
"Slow Like Honey"
You moved like honey
In my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires
Were burning
You came near to me
And you endeared to me
Nut you couldn't
Quit discern me
Does that scare you?
I'll let you run away
But your heart
Will not oblige you
You'll remember me
Like a melody
Yeah, I'll haunt the
World inside you
And my big secret
Gonna win you over
Slow like honey
Heavy with mood
I'll let you see me
I'll covet your regard
I'll invade your demeanor
And you'll yield to me
Like a scent in the breeze
And you'll wonder
What it is about me
It's my big secret
Keeping you coming
Slow like honey
Heavy with mood
Though dreams
Can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for
Sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality
Lie too far apart
So I stretch myself across
Like a bridge
And I pull you to the edge
And stand there waiting
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story
Shall I release you?
Must I release you?
As I rise to meet my glory
But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life
Gonna keep you reaching
When I'm gone like yesterday
When I'm high like heaven
When I'm strong like music
'Cause I'm slow like honey, and
Heavy with mood
"The First Taste"
I lie in an early bed
Thinking late thoughts
Waiting for the black
To replace my blue
I do not struggle
In your web
Because it was my
Aim to get caught
But daddy longlegs
I feel that I'm finally
Growing weary
Of waiting to be
Consumed by you
Give me the first taste
Let it begin
Heaven cannot wait forever
Darling, just start the chase
I'll let you win
But you must
Make the endeavour
Oh, your love gives
Me a heart confusion
Adagio breezes fill
My skin with sudden red
Your hungry flirt
Borders intrusion
I'm building memories on
Things we have not said
Full is not heavy as empty
Not nearly my love
Not nearly my love
Not nearly
Give me the first taste
Let it begin
Heaven cannot wait forever
Darling, just start the chase
I'll let you win
But you must
Make the endeavour
"Never Is A Promise"
You'll never see
The courage I know
Its colors' richness won't
Appear within your view
I'll never glow
The way that you glow
Your presence dominates
The judgements made on you
But as the scenery grows
I see in different lights
The shades and shadows
Undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch
I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still
Too proud to mention
To you
You'll say you understand
But you don't understand
You'll say you'd never
Give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise
And you can't afford to lie
You'll never touch
These things that I hold
The skin of my emotions
Lies beneath my own
You'll never feel
The heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper
Than I've ever shown
To you
You'll say
Don't fear your dreams
It's easier than it seems
You'll say you'd never
Let me fall from hopes so high
But never is a promise
And you can't afford to lie
You'll never live
The life that I live
I'll never live the life
That wakes me in the night
You'll never hear
The message I give
Youy'll say it looks as though
I might give up this fight
But as the scenery grows
I see in different lights
The shades and shadows
Undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch
I see from greater heights
I realise what I am now
Too smart to mention
To you
You'll say you understand
You'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up
Knowing how or why
I don't know what
To believe in
You won't know who I am
You'll say I need appeasing
When I start to cry
But never is a promise
And I'll never need a lie
"The Child Is Gone"
Darling, give me
Your absence tonight
Take the shade from
The canvas and
Leave me the white
Let me sink in the
Silence that echoes inside
And don't bother
Leaving the light on
'Cause I suddenly feel
Like a different person
From the roots of my soul
Come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand
O'er a strange inversion
A vacancy that just
Did not belong
The child is gone
Honey help me
Out of this mess
I'm a stranger to myself
But don't reach for me
I'm too far away
I don't wanna talk
'Cause there's
Nothing left to say
So my
Darling, give me
Your absence tonight
Take all of your sympathy
And leave it outside
'Cause there's no kind
Of loving that can
Make this all right
I'm trying to find
A place I belong
And I suddenly feel
Like a different person
From the roots of my soul
Come a gentle coersion
And I ran my hand
O'er a strange inversion
As the darkness
Turns into the dawn
The child is gone
The child is gone
"Pale September"
Pale September
I wore the time
Like a dress that year
The autumn days
Swung soft around me
Like cotton on my skin
But as the embers
Of the summer
Lost their breath
And disappearred
My heart went cold and
Only hollow rhythms
Resounded from within
But then he rose
Brilliant as the moon in full
And sank in the
Burrows of my keep
And all my armour
Falling down
In a pile at my feet
And my winter giving
Way to warm
As I'm singing him to sleep
He goes along just
As a water lily
Gentle on the surface
Of his thoughts
His body floats
Unweighed down by
Passion or intensity
Yet unaware of the
Depth upon which he coasts
And he finds a home in me
For what misfortune sows
He knows my touch will reap
And all my armour
Falling down
In a pile at me feet
And my winter giving
Way to warm
As I'm singing him to sleep
All my armour
Falling down
In a pile at my feet
And my winter giving
Way to warm
As I'm singing him to sleep
"Carrion"
Won't do no good
To hold no seance
What's gone is gone and
You can't bring it back around
Won't do no good
To hold no searchlight
You can't illuminate
What time has anchored down
Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone away)
Won't do no good
To sing no love song
No sound could simulate
The presence of a man
Won't do no good
Asking no questions
Your divination should
Acquaint you with the plan
Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone away)
My feel for you, boy
Is decaying in front of me
Like the carrion
Of a murdered pery
And all I want is
To save you, honey
You can't intimidate me
Back into your arms
Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey "To Your Love"
(I've gone away)
Here's another speech you wish I'd
My feel for you, boy swallow
Is decaying in front of me Another cue for you to fold your ears
Like the carrion Another train of thought too hard to
Of a murdered prey follow
And all I want is Chugging along to the song that belongs
To save you, honey to
Or the strength The shifting of gears
To walk away Please forgive me for my distance
The pain is the evident in my existence
My feel for you, boy Please forgive me for my distance
Is decaying in front of me The shame is manifest in my resistance
Like the carrion To your love, to your love, to your love
Of a murdered prey I would've warned you, but really, what's
And all I want is the point?
To save you, honey Caution could but rarely ever helps
Or the strength Don't be down when my demeanor
To walk away tends to disappoint
It's hard enough even trying to be civil to
myself
"On The Bound" Please forgive me for my distance
The pain is evident in my existence
All my life is on me now, hail the pages Please forgive me for my distance
turning The shame is manifest in my resistance
And the future is on the bound, hell don't to your love love, to your love, to your
know my fury love
You're all I need, you're all I need, you're My derring-do allows me to dance the
all I need rigadoon
You're all I need, You're all I need, you're Around you
all I need But by the time I'm close to you, I lose
You’re all I need - and maybe some faith My desideratum and now you, so
would Now you have it, so baby tell me what's
Do me good the word?
I don't know what I'm doing, don't know Am I your gal, or should I get out of town?
should I I just need to be reassured
Change my mind, I can't decide, there's Do you just deal it out, or can you deal
too many with
Variations to consider What I lay down?
No thing I do don't do no thing but bring Please forgive me, for my distance
me The pain is evident in my existence
More to do, It's true, I do imbue my blue Please forgive me for my distance
unto myself, The shame is manifest in my resistance
I make it bitter To your love, to your love, to your love
Baby, lay your head on my lap one more
time
Tell me you belong to me "Limp"
Baby say that it's all gonna be alright
I believe that it isn't. You wanna make me sick;
You wanna lick my wounds,
Don't you, baby?
You want the badge of honor when you
save my hide
But you're the one in the way
Of the day of doom, baby
If you need my shame to reclaim your
pride
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to
fists
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
You'll beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; got off now, baby-
It wont be long till you'll be
Lying limp in your own hand
You feed the beast I have within me
You wave the red flag, baby you make it
run run run
Standing on the sidelines, waving and
grinning
You fondle my trigger, then you blame
my gun
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to
fists
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
You'll beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; get off now, baby-
It wont be long till you'll be
Lying limp in your own hand
"Love Ridden"
Love ridden, I've looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday
candles
I've wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your
bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over,
So I can't tonight, baby
No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to
wave
My hand won't hold you down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I'm giving up on you
No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to
wave
No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to
wave
"Paper Bag"
I was staring at the sky, just looking for a
star
To pray on, or wish on, or something like
that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of
a boy
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to
be had
But then the dove of hope began its
downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my
chances
Were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary
tear
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a
paper bag
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it
kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna
clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too
shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it
costs too much to love
And I went crazy again today, looking for
a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put
his lips to mine,
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't
feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void,'
he said
'It's all in your head,' and I said, 'So's
everything'
But he didn't get it I thought he was a
man
But he was just a little boy
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it
kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna
clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too
shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it
costs too much to love
Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad, oh it
kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna
clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too
shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it
costs too much to love
Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad, oh it
kills
Because I know that I'm a mess that he
don't wanna clean up
I got to fold because these hands are just
too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving, it works, when
it costs too much to love
"A Mistake"
I'm gonna make a mistake
I'm gonna do it on purpose
I'm gonna waste my time
'Cause I'm full as a tick
And I'm scratching at the surface
And what I find is mine
And when the day is done, and I look
back
And the fact is I had fun, fumbling around
All the advice I shunned, and I ran
Where they told me not to run, but I sure
Had fun, so
I'm gonna f*** it up again
I'm gonna do another detour
Unpave my path
And if you wanna make sense
What you looking at me for
I'm no good at math
And when I find my way back,
The fact is I just may stay, or I may not
I've acquired quite a taste
For a well-made mistake
I wanna mistake why can't I make a
mistake?
I'm always doing what I think I should
Almost always doing everybody good
Why
Do I wanna do right, of course but
Do I really wanna feel I'm forced to
Answer you, hell no
I've acquired quite a taste
For a well-made mistake, I wanna
Make a mistake, why can't I make a
mistake
I'm always doing what I think I should
Almost always doing everybody good
Why
"Fast As You Can"
I let the beast in too soon, I don't know
how to live
Without my hand on his throat; I fight him
always and still
Oh darling, it's so sweet, you think you
know how crazy
How crazy I am
You say you don't spook easy, you won't
go, but I know
And I pray that you will
Fast as you can, baby runfree yourself of
me
Fast as you can
I may be soft in your palm but I'll soon
grow
Hungry for a fight, and I will not let you
win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases
that will
Disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way
into your
Heart from under your skin
Fast as you can, baby scratch me out,
free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can, baby scratch me out,
free yourself
Fast as you can
Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to the place where I'm begging
for a lift
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was
And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift
And you give me some more of your
drugs
Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's
a gift
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,
Just need a little because, because
I let the beast in and then;
I even tried forgiving him, but it's too soon
So I'll fight again, again, again, again,
again.
And for a little while more, I'll soar the
Uneven wind, complain and blame
The sterile land
But if you're getting any bright ideas,
quiet dear
I'm blooming within
Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, I'll
be out
Fast as I can, maybe late but at least
about
Fast as you can leave me, let this thing
Run its route
Fast as you can [x4]
"The Way Things Are"
I wouldn't know what to do with another
chance
If you gave it to me
I couldn't take the embrace of a real
romance
It's race right through me
I'm much better off the way things are
Much much better if, better by far, by far
I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle
voice
It'd roll right past me
And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't
really have a choice
So don't even ask me
I'm much better off, the way things are
Much much better off, better by far
So keep on calling me names, keep on,
keep on
And I'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to
settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be
Able to move on
How can I fight, when we're on the same
side
How can I fight beside you
So keep on calling me names, keep on,
keep on
Ans I'll keep on kicking the crap will it's
gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to
settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be
Able to move on
So keep on callng me names, keep on,
keep on
And I'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to
settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be
Able to move on
"Get Gone"
How many times do I have to say
To get away-get gone
Flip your shit past another lasses
Humble dwelling
You got your game, made your shot, and
you got away
With a lot, but I'm not turned-on
So put away that meat you're selling
Cuz I do know what's good for me-
And I've done what I could for you
But you're not benefiting, and yet I'm
sitting
Singing again, sing, sing again
How can I deal with this, if he won't get
with this
M'I gonna heal from this; he won't admit
to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It's time the truth was out that he don't
give a
Shit about me
How many times can it escalate
Till it elevates to a place I can't breathe?
And I must decide, if you must deride
That I'm much obliged to up and go
I'll idealize, then realize that it's no
Sacrifice, because the price is paid, and
There's nothing left to grieve
Fuckin go-
Cuz I've done what I could for you, and I
do know what's
Good for me and I'm not benefiting,
instead
I'm sitting singing again, singing again,
singing again,
Sing, sing, sing again
How can I deal with this, if he won't get
with this
M'I gonna heal from this; he won't admit
to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It's time the truth was out that he don't
give a
Shit about me
"I Know"
So be it, I'm your crowbar
If thats what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I dont know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know
And you can use my skin
To bury your secrets in
And I will settle you down
And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
i'll know, I'll know
Baby-I can't help you out, while she's still
around
So for the time being, I'm being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you'll consider this-even if it dont make
sense
All the time-give it time
And when the crowd becomes your
burden
And you've early closed your curtains,
I'll wait by the backstage door
While you try to find the lines to speak
your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me
so
It's ok, dont need to say it
Fire Inc. - Tonight Is What It Means To Be
Young
I've got a dream 'bout an angel on the
beach
and the perfect waves are starting to
come
his hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
and his touch has got the power to stone
i've got a dream 'bout an angel in the
forest
enchanted by the edge of a lake
his body's flowing in the jewels of light
and the earth below him's starting to
shake
But i don't see any angels in the city
i don't hear any holy choirs sing
and if i can't get an angel
i can still get a boy
and a boy'd be the next best thing
the next best thing to an angel
a boy'd be the next best thing
I've got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle
and he's dancing like a cat on the stairs
he's got the fire of a prince in his eyes
and the thunder of a drum in his ears
i've got a dream 'bout a boy on a star
looking down upon the realm of the
world
he's there all alone and dreaming of
someone like me
i'm not an angel but at least i'm a girl
I've got a dream when the darkness is
over
we'll be lying in the rays of the sun
but it's only a dream and tonight is for real
you'll never know what it means
but you'll know how it feels
it's gonna be over (over)
before you know it's begun
(before you know it's begun)
It's all we really got tonight
stop your crying hold on (tonight)
before you know it it's gone (tonight)
tonight is what it means to be young
tonight is what it means to be young
Let the rebels begin
let the fire be started
we're dancing for the restless and the
broken-hearted
let the rebels begin
let the fire be started
we're dancing for the desperate and the
broken-hearted
let the rebels begin...(tonight is what it
means to be young...)
let the fire be started...(before you know it
it's gone...)
we're dancing for the restless and the
broken-hearted
let the rebels begin
let the fire be started
we're dancing for the desperate and the
broken-hearted
Say a prayer in the darkness for the
magic to come
no matter what it seams
tonight is what it means to be young
before you know it it's gone
tonight is what it means to be young
before you know it it's gone
I've got a dream when the darkness is
over
we'll be lying in the rays of the sun
but it's only a dream and tonight is for real
you'll never know what it means
but you'll know how it feels
it's gonna be over (over)
before you know it's begun
It's all we really got tonight
stop your cryin' hold on (tonight)
before you know it it's gone (tonight)
tonight is what it means to be young
tonight is what it means to be young...
The things they say
and then the things they do
nothin's gonna stop us if our dream is
true...
"Extraordinary Machine"
I certainly haven't been shopping for any
new shoes
-And-
I certainly haven't been spreading myself
around
I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a
slow climb,
But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so
I can't stop changing all the time
I notice that my opponent is always on
the go
-And-
Won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I
notice
He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long
as
They go fast from whence he came
- But he's no good at being
uncomfortable, so
He can't stop staying exactly the same
If there was a better way to go then it
would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out
behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an
extraordinary machine
I seem to you to seek a new disaster
every day
You deem me due to clean my view and
be at peace and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my
own way, and say,
I've been getting along for long before
you came into the play
I am the baby of the family, it happens,
so
- Everybody cares and wears the sheeps'
clothes
While they chaperone
Curious, you looking down your nose at
me, while you appease
- Courteous, to try and help - but let me
set your
Mind at ease
(Chorus)
-Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to
my side?
-It's very kind
But it's to no avail; I don't want the bail
I promise you, everything will be just fine
If there was a better way to go then it
would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out
behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an
extraordinary machine
"Get Him Back"
One man, he disappoint me
He give me the gouge and he take my
glee
Now every other man I see
Remind me of the one man who
disappoint me
But wait till I get him back
He won't have a back to scratch
Yeah, keep turning that chin
And you will see my
Face as I figure how to kill what I cannot
catch
So I say, and on I go
To another one to disappoint me so
Next one up, a contemptible snob
He live to put things in their place
He did a commendable job
He put himself so low
He can hardly even look me in the face
O, he made my blood just burn
I flipped so far, I thought that I would not
return
But the last one I had who was getting my
hopes up
I might've been a little fast to dismiss
I think he let me down, when he didn't
disappoint me
He didn't always guess right, but he
usually got my gist
So wait till I get him back
I'm gonna bring him home and I'll watch
him unpack
Yeah keep turning that chin
And you will see my face is fixed on the
one
I'm gonna get back
I'm gonna get him back
I am
I'm gonna get him back
I really am
"O' Sailor"
I'm undecided about you again
Mightn't be right that you're not here
It's double-sided, cause I ruined it all
- But also saved myself, by never
believing you, Dear
Everything good, I deem too good to be
true
Everything else is just a bore
Everything I have to look forward to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing
before
O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
I have too been playing with fifty-two
cards
- Just cause I play so far from my vest
Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to
guard
What could I do, but spend my best
O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
And after waiting, fighting patiently on
my knees
All the other stuff tired itself out first, not
me
And in its wake, appeared the touch and
call
Of a different breed
One who set to get me wise, and got me
there
And then, got me
And what a thing, to know what could be
instead
Oh, what a blessed curse; to see
It took the agenda from its place in my
bed
Made a merry paramour of me
O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
O' sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Giving me eyes to view it
As it goes by the boards
"Better Version Of Me"
The nickel dropped
When I was on
My way beyond
The Rubicon
What did I do
And of the games that I can handle
None are ones worth the candle
What can I do
I'm a frightened, fickle person
Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin'
What should I do
Oooh, after all the folderol,
And hauling over coals stops
What will I do
Can't take a good day without a bad
one
Don't feel just to smile until I've had one
Where did I learn
I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Where's the turn
I don't want a home, I'd ruin that
Home is where my habits have a habitat
Why give it a turn
Oh, after all the folderol
And hauling over coals stops
What did I learn
I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry or complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damned breeze dry my face
Oh, mister, wait until you see
What I'm gonna be
I've got a plan, a demand and it just
began
And if you're right, you'll agree
Here's coming a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me
"Tymps (The Sick In The Head Song)"
Those boon times went bust
My feet of clay, they dried to dust
The red isn't the red we painted
Its just rust
And the signature thing
That used to bring a following
I have trouble now
Even remembering
So why did I kiss him so hard
Late last Friday night
And keep on letting him change all my
plans
I'm either so sick in the head
I need to be bled dry, to quit
Or I just really used to love him
I sure hope thats it
I knew that to keep in touch
Would do me deep in dutch
Cuz it isn't the rush of remembering
Its just mush
And the signature thing
Is only growing harrowing
I should have no trouble now
To keep from following
So why did I kiss him so hard
Late last Friday night
And keep on letting him change all my
plans
I'm either so sick in the head
I need to be bled dry, to quit
Or I just really used to love him
I sure hope thats it

"Parting Gift"
I opened my eyes
While you were kissing me once more
than once
And you looked as sincere as a dog
Just as sincere as a dog does,
When it's the food on your lips with which
it's in love
I bet you could never tell
That I knew you didn't know me that well
It is my fault you see
You never learned that much from me
Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine
You were always good for a rhyme
And from the first, to the last time, the
signs
Said 'Stop' - but we went on whole-
hearted
It ended bad, but I love what we started
It said 'Stop' - but we went on whole-
hearted
It ended bad, but I love what we started
I took off my glasses
While you were yelling at me once more
than once
So as not to see you see me react
Should've put 'em, should've put 'em on
again
So I could see you see me sincerely
yelling back
I bet your fortressed face
Belied your fort of lace
It is by the grace of me
You never learned what I could see
Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine
You were always good for a rhyme
And from the first to all the last times, all
the signs
Said 'Stop' - but we went on whole-
hearted
It ended bad, but I love what we started
It said 'Stop' - but we went on whole-
hearted
It ended bad, but I love what we started
"Window"
I was staring out the window
The whole time he was talking to me
It was a filthy pane of glass
I couldn't get a clear view
And as he went on and on
It wasn't the outside world I could see
Just the filthy pane that I was looking
through
So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me
I was never focused on just one thing
My eyes got fixed when my mind got soft
It may look like I'm concentrated on
A very clear view
But I'm as good as asleep
I bet you didn't know
It takes a lot of it away
If you do
I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me
I had to break the window
It just had to be
It was in my way
Better that I break the window
Than forget what I had to say
Or miss what I should see
Because the fact being that
Whatever's in front of me
Is covering my view
So I can't see what I'm seeing in fact
I only see what I'm looking through
So again I done the right thing
I was never worried about that
The answer's always been in clear view
But even when the window was cleaned
I still can't see for the fact
That it's so clear I can't tell what I'm
looking through
So I had to break the window
It just had to be
It was in my way
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me
I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than miss what I should see
I had to break the window
It just had to be
It was in my way
Better that I break the window
Than forget what I had to say
Or miss what I should see
Or break him her or me
Especially me
"Oh Well"
What you did to me made me
See myself something different
Though I try to talk sense to myself
But I just won't listen
Won't you go away
Turned yourself in
You're no good at confession
Before the image that you burned me in
Tries to teach you a lesson
What you did to me made me see myself
somethin' awful
A voice once stentorian is now again
meek and muffled
It took me such a long time to get back
up the first time you did it
I spent all I had to get it back, and now it
seems I've been outbidded
My peace and quiet was stolen from me
When I was looking with calm affection
You were searching out my imperfections
What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff
You came upon me like a hypnic jerk
When I was just about settled
And when it counts you recoil
With a cryptic word and leave a love
belittled
Oh what a cold and common old way to
go
I was feeding on the need for you to
know me
Devastated at the rate you fell below me
What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff
Oh, well
"Please Please Please"
Please please please
No more melodies
They lack impact, they're petty
They've been made up already
Please please please
No more maladies
I'm so tired of crying
You'd think I was a siren
But me and everybody's on the sad same
team
And you can hear our sad brain
screaming
Give us something familiar
Something similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady
Steady going nowhere
Please please please
No apologies
At best they buy you time
Until you next step out of line
Please please please
No more remedies
My method is uncertain
It's a mess but it's working
And maybe if you tried it out
You won't like it when you're crying out
Give us something familiar
Something similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady
Steady going nowhere
Please please please
No more melodies
They lack impact, they're petty
They've been made up already
Please please please
No more maladies
I'm so tired of crying
You'd think I was a siren
But me and everybody's on the sad same
team and
You can hear our sad brain screaming
Give us something familiar
Something similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady, steady, steady
Steady going nowhere
Please please please
No apologies
At best they buy you time
Until you next step out of line
Please please please
No more remedies
My method is uncertain
It's a mess but it's working
And maybe if you want to try it out
You won't like it when you're crying out
Give me something familiar
Somethin' similar
To what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady
Steady going nowhere
"Red Red Red"
I don't understand about complementary
colors
And what they say
Side by side they both get bright
Together they both get gray
But he's been pretty much yellow
And I've been kinda blue
But all I can see is
Red, red, red, red, red now
What am I gonna do
I don't understand about
Diamonds and why men buy them
What's so impressive about a diamond
Except the mining
And it's dangerous work
Trying to get to you too
And I think if I didn't have to
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it
Maybe I wouldn't think so much of you
I've been watching all the time
And I still can't find the tack
And I wanna know is it okay
Is it just fine
Or is it my fault
Is it my lack
I don't understand about
The weather outside
Or the harmony in a tune
Or why somebody lied
There's solace a bit for submitting
To the fitfully cryptically true
What's happened has happened
What's coming is already on its way
With a role for me to play
I don't understand
I'll never understand
But I'll try to understand Change the name of the game 'cause
There's nothing else I can do he lost
And he knew he was wrong but he knew
it too late
"Not About Love" But I'm not being fair
'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy
The early cars mouth
Already are But I'd like to choose right
Drawing deep breaths past my door Take all the things that I've said that he
And last night's phrases stole
Sick with lack of basis Put 'em in a sack
Are still writhing on my floor Swing 'em over my shoulder
Turn on my heels
And it doesn't seem fair Step out of this sight
That your wicked words should work Try to live in a lovelier light
In holding me down
No, it doesn't seem right This is not about love
To take information 'Cause I am not in love
Given at close range In fact I cant stop falling out
For the gag
And the bind This is not about love
And the ammunition round 'Cause I am not in love
In fact i cant stop falling out
Conversation once colored by esteem I miss that stupid ache
Became duologue as a diagram of a
play for blood
Took a vacation, my palate got clean "Waltz (Better Than Fine)"
Now I could taste your agenda
While you're spitting your cud If you don't have a song
To sing you're okay
And it doesn't make sense You know how to get along
I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless Humming
crown Hmmm
No, it doesn't seem right
To take information If you don't have a date
Given at close range Celebrate
For the gag Go out and sit on the lawn
And the bind And do nothing
And the ammunition round 'Cause it's just what you must do
Nobody does it anymore
This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love No I don't believe in the wasting of time,
In fact I can't stop falling out But I don't believe that I'm wasting mine

This is not about love If you don't have a point to make

'Cause I am not in love Don't sweat it
In fact I can't stop falling out You'll make a sharp one being so kind
I miss that stupid ache And I'd sure appreciate it
Everyone else's goal's to get big headed
What is this posture Why should I follow that beat being that
I have to stare at I'm
That's what he said when I'm sittin' up Better than fine
straight
"Calm The Fire"
Calm the fire do not fight anymore
They don't know what they're saying they
don't know anything at all
For all that matters is you know that this is
not their fault
There are places we should never go
Lost between the cracks something
wicked waits below
And all I'm saying there are some things
better left unseen at all
It's been so long it's tearing me apart
I cannot understand or comprehend
Where we went wrong. Now we've come
so far
The madness in our hearts will never end
Cause I've seen it all
I can't fight it anymore
If fire burns forevermore
Is there nothing left to save?
[Chorus:]
Cause now more than ever what we
need
Is love to replace all the obscene
Something good and something beautiful
if only we could see
That now more than ever what we need
Is a little love
Is there no more have we gone too far?
There's nothing I can do to make you
sway
To see the blood running through our
hearts
No different from the blood we've come
to hate
When I close my eyes
I dream that we are colorblind
And now you know you can't deny
Only ignorance to blame
[Chorus]
Now let it calm the fire that burns within
your heart tonight
For some are too blind to see the world as
it's meant to be
When I close my eyes
I dream that we are colorblind
And now you know you can't deny
Only ignorance to blame
[Chorus]
Prisoner of your eyes
When I saw your face
I became a prisoner of your eyes
And I would do just anything
To stay and be with you.
You know there are times
When I let myself wonder
As I was going under
You Pulled me back to earth
Don't you hear me crying
Take me in your arms again
Tell me that you're trying
Or is our love a lie
Love is blind
And love deceives you
You came along and captured me
Now I'm a prisoner of your eyes
Trapped in time
I cannot leave you
I'm just a prisoner of your eyes
As each day goes by
I've given up completely
I've locked myself inside your heart
And thrown away the key
Only time will tell
If I can live without you
Can you see into the future
Will you ever set me free
Don't you hear me crying
Take me into your arms again
Tell me that you're trying
Or is our love a lie
Love is blind
And love decieves you
You came along and captured me
Now I'm a prisoner of your eyes
Trapped in time
I cannot leave you
I'm just a prisoner of your eyes
In this heartache
We can try and start again
Stop the heartbreak
A little time will help to kill the pain
"All Ends Well"
If I could ease your mind, calm the storm
inside
Pull your drifting heart back from a cruel
and bitter tide
Show you that tomorrow everything will
be just fine
Oh in due time
Somewhere down the road your stars will
show
Somewhere down the road you're almost
home
You're almost home
[Chorus:]
If you believe in nothing else
Just keep believing in yourself
There will be times of trouble,
it's gonna hurt like hell
This much I know, all ends well
It all ends well.
If I could heal the scars
Show you what you are
Bind the wounds of disbelief
That brought you down so hard
I would be the tourniquet around your
doubting heart
Oh in due time.
Somewhere down the road your stars will
show
Somewhere down the road you're almost
home
You're almost home
[Chorus]
So hard to see so hard to find
All that you need will calm the tide
These words of wisdom you'll know to find
You have so much to give, won't you live
a little more
[Chorus]
"Fortress"
Am I lost to wander forever
Perhaps for the rest of my days?
If all that has been surrendered will just go
to waste
You left me out in the distance
To wander this world on my own
Sometimes it’s so hard to admit it but I
can’t let go
I can’t let you go
[Chorus:]
Go on and take it all, go on and take it all
Fortress coming down
I know we can’t save it all, I know we
can’t save it all
Everything is gone
Oh I have seen it all, oh I have seen it all
Fortress coming down
Go on and take it all, go on and take it all
One thing I know is for certain
We cannot have all we want
Still this will not stop the hurting. It is never
gone
Now I hold on to the one thing
Too fragile to stand on its own
The fortress we built–it is crumbling. Still I
can’t let go
I can’t let you go
[Chorus]
Fortress coming down
There’ll come a time, yes I know
There’ll come a time
You’ll look back and regret when it’s
gone
You’ll look back and regret when it’s
gone
There’ll come a time yes I know
There’ll come a time
You'll look back and regret when it’s
gone
You’ll look back and regret when it’s
gone
[Solo]
In the end, too far gone, this I can’t deny
Still I keep holding on.
You know there’s still time
On the outside looking in everything
seems fine
But the fortress caving in.
Comes down on me tonight
[Chorus]
Just take it all
Just take it all
Just take it all
Lush life
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the
wheel of life
To get the feel of life from jazz and
cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray
faces
With distingue traces that used to be
there
You could see where they'd been
washed away
By too many through the day twelve
o'clock tales
Then you came along with your siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for a while that your poignant
smile
Was tinged with the sadness of a great
love for me
Ah yes, I was wrong, again I was wrong
Life is lonely again and only last year
everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again a trough full of
hearts could only be a bore
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it
I'll forget you, I will
While yet you are still burning inside my,
inside my brain
Romance is mush stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush life in some small dive
And there I'll be, while I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too
Strange fruit
Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the
root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern
breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar
trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to
suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.
Don’t know why
I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
Sunrise
Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours
Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
'Cause the afternoon's already come
and gone
And i said ooh, ooh, ooh, to you
Surprise, surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face
Surprise, surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another
day
Then I say, oh, oh, oh, to you
And now the night
Will throw its cover down on me again
Oh, and if I'm right
It's the only way to bring me back
Oh, oh, oh, to you
Oh, oh, oh, to you
"It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That
Swing)"
What good is melody, what good is music
If it ain't possessin' something sweet?
Nah, it ain't the melody and it ain't the
music
There's something else that makes this
tune complete
Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got
that swing
Well, it don't mean a thing, all you got to
do is sing
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got
that swing
It don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing
if it ain't got that swing
I said, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got
that swing
Nah, it makes no difference if it's sweet or
hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Don't mean a thing, boy, if it ain't that a
swing

Bang bang
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And 'till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Iris
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever
be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd
understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't
coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd
understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd
understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd
understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

{Hey "Brother / Sister"

C'mon} (feat. Dan Tyminski)

Hey brother, there’s an endless road to

"Addicted To You"
I don't know just how it happened,
I let down my guard...
Swore I'd never fall in love again
But I fell hard.
Guess I should have seen it coming,
Caught me by surprise...
I wasn't looking where I was going,
I fell into your eyes.
You came into my crazy world like a cool
and cleansing wave.
Before I, I knew what hit me baby you
were flowing through my veins...
I'm addicted to you,
Hooked on your love,
Like a powerful drug
I can't get enough of,
Lost in your eyes,
re-discover.
Hey sister, know the water's sweet but
blood is thicker.
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
Hey brother, do you still believe in one
another?
Hey sister, do you still believe in love, I
wonder?
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
What if I'm far from home?
Oh, brother I will hear you call.
What if I lose it all?
Oh, sister I will help you out!
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
Hey brother, there’s an endless road to
re-discover.
Hey sister, do you still believe in love, I
wonder?
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you, She was more than beautiful
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do. Closer to ethereal
With a kind of
What if I'm far from home? Down to earth flavor
Oh, brother I will hear you call.
What if I lose it all? Close my eyes
Oh, sister I will help you out! It's three in the afternoon
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you, Then I realize
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do. That she's really
Gone for good

This love Anybody seen my baby

Anybody seen her around
If ever words were spoken Love has gone
Painful and untrue And made me blind
I said I loved but I lied I've looked but I just can't find
In my life She has gotten lost
In the crowd
All I wanted
Was the keeping I was flippin' magazines
Of someone like you In that place on Mercer Street
As it turns out When I thought I spotted her
Deeper within me
Love was twisted and pointed at you Getting on a motor bike
Looking rather lady like
Didn't she just give me a wave?
Never ending pain, quickly ending life
Salty tears
[Chorus] It's three in the afternoon
You keep this love, thing, child, toy Has she disappeared
You keep this love, fist, scar, break Is she really gone for good
You keep this love
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
I'd been the tempting one If I just close my eyes
Stole her from herself I reach out
This gift in pain And touch the prize
Her pain was life Anybody seen her around
And sometimes I feel so sorry
I regret this the hurting of you (Rap)
Anybody seen my baby
But you make me so unhappy
Anybody seen her around
I'd take my life and leave love with you If I just close my eyes
I reach out
I'd kill myself for you, I'd kill you for myself And touch the prize
Anybody seen her around
Anybody Seen My Baby?
She confessed her love to me Lost, lost and never found
Then she vanished I must have called her
On the breeze A thousand times
Trying to hold on to that Sometimes I think
Was just impossible She's just in my imagination
 I know that the clubs are weapons of war
Lost in the crowd I know that diamonds mean money for

He may lay the Queen of spades

Oh it seems to me

Why can’t we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
And if I told you that I loved you
That sorry seems the be the hardest word
You'd maybe think there's something
wrong
What have I got to do make you love
I'm not a man of too many faces
me?
The mask I wear is one
What have I got to do to be heard?
What do I do when lighting strikes me
But those who speak know nothing
What have I got to do?
And find out to their cost
What have I got to do?
Like those who curse their luck in too
When sorry seems to be the hardest word
many places
And those who fear a loss Stone

I know that the spades are the swords of

a soldier
She's got a living stone and rain in her
hand
She doesn't have an umbrella to cover
herself
She's got a living stone and pain in her
mind
All I can do is sing for her and myself
I wish I can take it away to three
thousand light years away
I wish I can take it away to three
thousand light years away
Don't be afraid, I'll be next to you
I wish I can take it away to three
thousand light years away
I wish I can take it away to three
thousand light years away
I wish I can take it away to three
thousand light years away
I wish I can take it away to three
thousand light years away
I'll be next to you
The Illusionist
As an outcast I faced defeat
Seeking comfort in this painful retreat
Made an oracle against my will
Word spread of miraculous skills
Premonitions call my name
I once doubted them all when they
came
Now I embrace it and I'll never be the
same
Transfixed in the desert sands
Take a look at my once empty hand
See the rose that appears so real
Just like the one you saw in your dreams
Those who call me Avatar
Knows not what they're looking for
They just feed the flames with miracles
Just so you know if you bathe within my
light
You diminish your own might
The illusionist in everyone
As an outcast I faced defeat
Seeking comfort in this painful retreat
Made an oracle against my will
Word spread of miraculous skills
Premonitions call my name
I once doubted them all when they
came
Now I embrace it and I'll never be the
same
Those who call me Avatar
Knows not what they're looking for
They just feed the flames with miracles
Just so you know if you bathe within my
light
You diminish your own might
Illusionist in everyone
What I say and what I do was once
potential
Sprung from the infinite place that
dictates the seen
Those who call me Avatar
Knows not what they're looking for
They just feed the flames with miracles
Just so you know if you bathe within my
light
You diminish your own might
Illusionist in everyone
Those who call me Avatar
Knows not what they're looking for
They just feed the flames with miracles
Just so you know if you bathe within my
light
You diminish your own might
Illusionist in everyone, in everyone
"Sleep"
The enemy is after me again
Afraid of the sea and what's down there
I need to sleep
It's been a whole week
Cos tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold I throw myself into
And out of the red
I need to sleep Out of her head she sang
It's been a whole week
Come down
Cos tears keep falling into my pool And waste away with me
Bright lights driving right into me cold Down with me
Slow how
My bones keep breaking You wanted it to be
Tearing me away from the quiet I'm over my head
The silence of my soul, of my soul from the Out of her head she sang
quiet
And I wonder
Night time, gruelling, just time to waste When I sing along with you
Heights they kill me, leave scarring on my If everything could ever feel this real
face forever
If anything could ever be this good again
Cos' I never, ever, ever fall into sleep? The only thing I'll ever ask of you
And I've never ever ever felt so weak You gotta promise not to stop when I say
when she sang
Cos' tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
My bones keep breaking Hold you in
Tearing me away from the quiet And now
The silence of my soul, of my soul from the I know you've always been
quiet Out of your head
Out of my head I sang
Summertime
And I wonder
Summertime and the livin' is easy When I sing along with you
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high If everything could ever feel this real
Your daddy's rich and your ma is good forever
lookin' If anything could ever be this good again
So hush, little baby, don't you cry The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say
when she sang
One of these mornin's, you're gonna rise
up singin'
[Whisper:]
you're gonna spread your wings and
"So Dad would take the Sunday's off,
you'll take to the sky
And that's the only time he could ever
But 'til that mornin', there is nothin' can
get any rest,
harm you
And so, because we were loud on
With Daddy and Mummy, Mummy
Sundays,
standing by
He'd make us hold his construction Boots
Don't you, don't you cry
over our head, till we'd sleep
And they were really heavy Boots and id
"Everlong"
used to say dad come on please
And like start crying, cause they're too
Hello heavy."
I've waited here for you
Everlong And I wonder
Tonight If everything could ever feel this real
forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I
say when
"Million Miles An Hour"
Take one of those and two of these
Then watch the walls begin to breathe.
I can taste the colour of the lights
Wings are growing out of me
The floor is floating underneath
I can see the future burning bright,
Future burning bright.
The ceiling has us mesmerized
It feels like we could never die
Heading for the dark side of the moon
As we lift off into the sky
Invincible and so alive
Ten feet tall and fucking bulletproof
Insanity is setting in
Reality is getting thin
The universe just started slowing down
Yet suddenly we're traveling
A million miles an hour
A million miles an hour
We're going a million miles an hour
A million miles an hour
When shadows all start breaking free
No longer held by gravity
How did we get so far from the ground?
Speaking to the galaxy
Received and sending back to me
I can finally hear the speed of sound,
Speed of fucking sound.
I like this everlasting pill
'Cause time itself is standing still
Why's the room still spinning just the
same?
Turn off your phone so no one calls
'Cause you and I are tripping balls.
I can still hear ringing in my brain
Insanity is setting in
Reality is getting thin
See no signs of ever coming down
And suddenly we're traveling
A million miles an hour
A million miles an hour
We're going a million miles an hour
A million miles an hour
Insanity is setting in,
Reality is getting thin
The particles are dancing all around
I can't deny the hardest thing for me
Is finding time to finally breathe
See no signs of ever coming down
Another wave is coming in
A million miles an hour
A million miles an hour
We're going a million miles an hour
A million miles an hour
"The Show Must Go On"
Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the
score
On and on, does anybody know what we
are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take
it anymore
The show must go on,
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to
chance
Another heartache, another failed
romance
On and on, does anybody know what we
are living for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer
now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be
free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of
butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never
die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On - with the show -
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the show -
The show must go on..
María
Sale sola de noche maría,
pena por la ciudad,
recorriendo las calles que un dia
negó besos en la oscuridad.
Y se nubla la vista maría,
porque duele recordar
que los besados negados maría,
nunca mas regresarán.
En las noches por ese camino,
algo extraño puede pasar,
al sentir en los labios del frío,
de otros labios que no verás.
Es maría quien pena en las calles
y debajo de un farol
roba besos y vida a la gente,
mientras ella yace en un cajón.
María bonita,
maría marchita.
Bonito
Bonito, todo me parece bonito
Bonita mañana
bonito lugar
bonita la cama
qué bien se ve el mar
bonito es el día
y acaba de empezar bonita la vida
respira, respira, respira
El teléfono suena, mi pana se queja
la cosa va mal, la vida le pesa
que vivir así ya no le interesa
que seguir así no vale la pena
se perdió el amor, se acabó la fiesta
ya no anda el motor que empuja la
tierra
la vida es un chiste con triste final
el futuro no existe pero yo le digo...
Bonito todo me parece bonito
Bonita la paz, bonita la vida
bonito volver a nacer cada día
bonita la verdad cuando no suena a
mentira
bonita la amistad, bonita la risa
bonita la gente cuando hay calidad
bonita la gente que no se arrepiente
que gana y que pierde, que habla y no
miente
bonita la gente por eso yo digo...
Bonito, todo me parece bonito
Qué bonito que te va cuando te va
bonito,
qué bonito que te va
Bonito, todo me parece bonito
La mar la mañana, la casa, la sombra,
la tierra, la paz y la vida que pasa.
Bonito, todo me parece bonito.
Tu calma, tu salsa, la mancha en la
espalda, tu cara, tus ganas el fin de
semana
Bonita la gente que viene y que va
bonita la gente que no se detiene
bonita la gente que no tiene edad
que escucha, que entiende, que tiene y
que da
Bonito Portet, bonito Peret
bonita la rumba, bonito José
bonita la brisa que no tiene prisa
bonito este día, respira, respira
Bonita la gente cuando es de verdad
Bonita la gente que es diferente
Que tiembla, que siente
Que vive el presente
bonita la gente que estuvo y no está.
Bonito, todo me parece bonito.
Qué bonito que te va cuando te va
bonito,
qué bonito que te va.
Qué bonito que se está cuando se está
bonito qué bonito que se está.
Bonito, todo me parece bonito
La locomotora
Si los simios hicieran música
si los reptiles cantaran bajo tu ventana
coplas de su propia inspiración
entonces donde quedo yo.
Si los arboles lloraran
si se pudieran mover
si la lluvia reprochara el momento de
caer
si el desierto hiciera versos y en pedazos
al calor
si el calor se detestara y viajara a otra
región
entonces donde quedo yo.
Coro
conquistó a la tierra
dominó a la luna
descubrió el fuego
y los siete mares.
Si los arboles lloraran...
Coro
Porque quien comanda y jala este vagón
que conduce el gran locomotor
porque quien comanda y jala este barco
quien escribe de revolución.
Quien conduce el gran locomotor.
Ixtepec
Juan, condenado a caminar
con cara de tonto por Ixtepec va a
pasar
pues allá cerca la costa un muerto él va
a visitar.
Juan, seis meses tardó en llegar
con el paso que le lleva, otros seis en
regresar.
Juan, ¿por qué Marta te embrujó?
la morena costeñita quería un amante
español.
Siento las pisadas ya por mis calles
que no es por Marta, es por mí,
el que viaja es mi reloj.
Ven, a mero sentirte ya
lejos de la gente, cuando a muchos años
más
Ixtepec sabe que nunca, ni muerto
podrá parar.
Siento las pisadas ya por mis calles
que no es por Marta, es por mí
el que viaja es mi reloj.
Siento las pisadas ya, otro año paso cual
que no es el muerto, es así, la vida es un
ciclo
Qué pasará?
Que pasará si así me sigo hoy
gastando vidas como si fuera un felino
hasta el camino donde llevara
mas andar el lado oscuro,
parece inevitable,
no muy saludable pero si aleccionador
qué pasará si así me sigo hoy
el ejercicio de tirarse a un precipicio
me mantendrá atento en la ocasión
aahhh
aahhh
aahhh
qué pasará si asi me sigo hoy
gastando vidas como si fuera un felino
este camino donde llegará
voy de frente solo preguntando al
destino
sabiendo el vacío de aquello que
vendrá
qué pasará...
"Fuck U"
There's a look on your face I would like to
knock out
See the sin in your grin and the shape of
your mouth
All I want is to see you in terrible pain
Though we won't ever meet I remember
your name
Can't believe you were once just like
anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil
himself
Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to
say
But I don't think I can so fuck you anyway
You are scum, you are scum and I hope
that you know
That the cracks in your smile are
beginning to show
Now the world needs to see that it's time
you should go
There's no light in your eyes and your
brain is too slow
Can't believe you were once just like
anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil
himself
Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to
say
But I don't think I can, so fuck you anyway
Bet you sleep like a child with your thumb
in your mouth
I could creep up beside put a gun in your
mouth
Makes me sick when I hear all the shit that
you say
So much crap coming out it must take
you all day
There's a space left in hell with your name
on the seat
With a spike in the chair just to make it
complete
When you look at yourself do you see
what I see
If you do why the fuck are you looking at
me
Why the fuck why the fuck are you
looking at me
[Repeat x4]
There's a time for us all and I think yours
has been
Can you please hurry up cause I find you
obscene
We can't wait for the day that you're
never around
When that face isn't here and you rot
underground
Can't believe you were once just like
anyone else
Then you grew and became like the devil
himself
Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to
say
But I don't think I can so fuck you anyway
So fuck you anyway [Repeat x11]
"That I Would Be Good"
that I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the
thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed
sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten
pounds
that I would be fine even if I went
bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and
my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer
queen
that I would be grand if I was not all
knowing
that I would be loved even when I numb
myself
that I would be good even when I am
overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was
fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy
that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you
"Again"
I've been searching for you
I heard a cry within my soul
I've never had a yearning quite like this
before
Know that you are walking right through
my door
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

A sacred gift of heaven
For better worse, wherever
And I would never let somebody break
you down
Until you cried, never
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
At every time I've always known
That you where there, upon your throne
A lonely queen without her king
I longed for you, my love forever
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
Leaves
I close your eyes with my mouth
Now you don't see anything
But you feel my breath all over
I can feel you too
Although I don't really know you
I don't really care
Cry with me, make my day
Tomorrow all will be gone
All the sweetness and all the fun
No, I don't wanna know...
Although I don't really know you
I don't really care
Now that you're gone I don't know
How to really feel inside
Baring the hope to see you again
I guess I never will
Now that I do really know you
Yes, I really care!
Shrink
To feel this great urge
To hold and embrace you
I slowly dry out
I shrink and shrink
Until I'm gone
Nothing to make out of me
Oh what the hell went wrong
My heart gets pulled out
Into your direction
It's no use
You have forsaken me
My Electricity
I send your name
up into the sky
And the wind blows it back into my face
You see, even nature
reacts on me
And all my electricity
will make it across your sea
With every wave the sea makes
My body gets weaker
and weaker.... and weaker..
You see, even nature
reacts on me
And all my electricity
will make it across your sea
And provides you
with my love
Liberty Bell
Not a subject to control
you call upon a higher power
for help and inspiration
The crowd waits
and turns their faces
towards you expectantly
you give them what they need
But their useless criticism
makes you die
a bit more inside
Not a subject to control
you call upon a higher power
for help and inspiration
Oh, I swoon
while loudspeakers play soft music

No brainwaves or activity Leaning

while the craft is in the air over your fortieth masterpiece
It's getting dark, it's getting light You must have loved
we are sitting in a chair the colour of these violins

I wish I knew you

We have fastened every belt Your fit of insanity makes me sad
we cannot float out of our seats
It's so enormously frightening I wish you knew
When our tail reaches superheat your music was to stay forever
And I hope....
Another timezone
I have no clue
a change of season
if you know how much it matters
it is turning dark again And i hope....
We're getting ready for yet
another orbit around our planet Broken Glass

Strange vibe
It is time for the galactic cruise
circles round
To come to an end
Tries to comfort
One last view on the world
buzzing sounds
and the time we have spend

Travel Form an arrow

point at us
Melodic stanzas We the target
are symphonizing their way
are the one
through your weary head

To feed your distrust Place your bet

And fill it's mouth with the desire on the best
to soulfully be one with your creation The fastest horse
you can find
 Breathe the air
Drop yourself trough the water
in the grass
Breathe the air Another day
at last
Suddenly I awake
Hold on tight
A strange man knows my name
don't fall down
Heat takes my mind
What is happening to me?
Breathe the air
through the water
The revival - True messiah
Now that you are saved a legend lives
Form an arrow
The revival
point at us
We take you to the gate to wash your
We the target
brain
are the center
True messiah

Find the key

Still I cannot speak
lock the door
My throat is dry as ice
Close your eyes
A tear leaves my eye
for encore
I know that I am saved

Drop yourself
Remember what has happened
in the grass
You’re older than the earth
Breathe the air
Six hundred years
at last
A living history
Hold on tight
don't you fall down
A vision in my brain takes me back
Breathe the air
To places that I know I was before
through the water

The revival – True messiah

Find your peace
Now that you are saved a legend lives
turn inside
The revival
You the target
We take you to the gate to wash your
you the center
brain
True messiah
Find the key
lock the door
Sleeping through the ages
Close your eyes
The past rests within
for encore
Soon to be recovered
By emptying my mind
Drop yourself
in the grass
Remember what has happened
Breathe the air
You’re older than the earth
at last
Six hundred years
Hold on tight
A living history
don't you fall down

A vision in my brain takes me back
To places that I know I was before
You Learn About It
Now that we're through
the hell with you
We don’t mind
We just give it a sigh
We hardly knew
what you were capable
of doing
But why don't you give it a try
Oh, you learn about it
Oh, you harvest (untill you can make no
more)
All that's eating inside
All that's eating inside
We hardly knew
what you were capable
of doing
But why don't you give it a try
Oh, you learn about it
Oh, you harvest (untill you can make no
more)
All that's eating inside
All that's eating inside
Can't take no more..
Oh, you learn about it
Oh, you harvest (untill you can make no
more)
All that's eating inside
All that's eating inside
Can't take no more..
Amity
The torture won't part you
Motherly breast won't warm you
You fail and foam from your mouth
why is it so loud, this sound?
All the sense your are capable of
does not seem to save you
You heed the glance of a smile
Was it impossible to float for a while?
Restless is carrying fever
burning you to pieces
In search and need of a friend
Will I bow down to this in the end?
I lay in the hands of my maker
and I want to spend the rest of it awake
Why do I get the feeling they'll brake it
It's a fight... it's a fight...
The torture won't part you
Mothers lap can't seem to warm you
You strain, you climb up and frown
Why is it so loud, This down?
All the sense you are capable of
does not seem to save you
You heed the glance of a smile
Was it impossible to float for a while?
I lay in the hands of my maker
And I want to spend the rest of it awake
Why do I get the feeling they'll brake it
It's a fight... it's a fight
Souvenirs
Jump in heat
Plunge to your truth
Agree with your youth
Consider defeat
Part and part
And separate
We will
Brand new paths
In ways to soothe
Never disagree with your youth
Part of your heart
Will separate
It will

The gift of your life
All what was concealed
No skin-deep a dive
Your childhood revealed
You jump in heat
Plunge to your start
Don't underestimate
You're own point of view
Don't part your art
Or hesitate
Your will
The gift of your life
All what was concealed
No skin-deep a dive
Your childhood revealed
You peel all the layers of forever
You start the beginning of the end
Breathing is bridging the gap
Between black and light
And now you feel alive!
And now you learn to dive you know!
Breathing is bridging the gap
Between black and light
Marooned
I know from a lesser tribe
I suppose the range of my intelligence
is way too wide
And you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say
My emotional outlet
is consuming the better part of me
And apart from the wrong words
a tortured cry is making me see
That you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say
hours and hours of jealousy
are passing me by
Although hollow silence
is the only wave
going through your brain
And you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say
Locked away
No sense at all
do what you want
You will obey
for I will hunt you
Untill you will be
Locked away
just so what you'll
be scared of me
Behind my power
I will hide all my fears
Right now you are punished
for absolutely nothing
And I feel so good
Because once more
I don't have to be honest
With myself
While you're locked away
Just so you'll
be scared of me
behind my power
I will hide al my fears
Runaway
I was listening to the ocean
I saw a face in the sand
But when I picked it
Then it vanished away from my hand
I had a dream I was 7
Climbing my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waiting impatient for me, along
And I was running far away
Would I run off the wall someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
I was painting a picture
The picture was a painting of you and
For a moment I thought you were there
But again, it wasn't true
And all this time I have been lying
Oh, lying in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the forest
plains
On my show, da di da
And I was running far away
Would I run off the wall someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
But I kept running
For a soft place to fall
And I kept running
For a soft place to fall
And I kept running
For a soft place to fall
But I kept running
For a soft place to fall
And I was running far away
Would I run off the wall someday?
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
"Moonchild"
Open your arms to the lonely shine.
Lonesome as gold in the poor man's
smile.
See how the moon is full,
follow the push and pull,
follow the ebb and flow in the breathing
tide.
[chorus]
Come on, Moonchild.
You're so far away tonight.
The door is falling open and we're flying
wild.
Cat on the road.
Down in the living night.
See how the black dog grins,
in the diamond light.
We're dreaming and we're real.
We're broken and we're healed.
Give in to what you feel,
over what you see.
[chorus]
[bridge]
And when "if" is only "yes" and "no,"
It now becomes too soon,
I know,
You'll be alright,
if you'd only,
come away in the moon,
yeah,
come away in the moon,
in the blue shine.
[chorus]
Come on moonflower,
you're so far away from now,
You could bloom forever in the hour,
you could bloom forever in the hour...
"Steel Rain"
And so we start another day together,
You and I and the million miles between.
I train my moods to bloom like flowers
unfolding,
instead of fluttering around.
And slowly drowning in the...
[chorus]
Steel rain, it's taking over [x3]
The sky is open and the drones are
pouring out.
The day inhales in a contagious yawn.
And there you smile as though the sun
were bouncing in the...
[chorus]
[bridge]
Here in the little world, the tiny world spins
for me,
All's well in the tilted world but there's
something falling down,
in the...
[chorus]
My Funny Valentine
Behold the way our fine feathered friend,
His virtue doth parade
Thou knowest not, my dim-witted friend
The picture thou hast made
Thy vacant brow, and thy tousled hair
Conceal thy good intent
Thou noble upright truthful sincere,
And slightly dopey gent
You're my funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable, un-
photographable,
Yet, you're my favorite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you
smart?
But, don't change a hair for me.
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you
smart?
But, don't change a hair for me.
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day
"Dream A Little Dream Of Me"
[Ella (Improvisation)]
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Nighty-night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss
me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
[Louis]
Stars fading but I linger on dear
[Ella]
Oh how you linger on
[Louis]
Still craving your kiss
[Ella]
How you crave my kiss
[Louis]
Now I'm longin' to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
[Ella]
Give me a little kiss
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries
behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
[Louis (Improvisation)]
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
Yeah, I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this, yes
[Ella & Louis]
Sweet dreams
[Louis]
Dreamin'
[Ella]
Till sunbeams find you
Keep dreaming
[Louis]
Gotta keep dreamin'
[Ella]
Leave your worries far behind you
[Ella & Louis]
But in your dreams, whatever they be
[Ella]
You gotta make me a promise
Promise to me you'll dream
Dream a little dream of me
Someone saved my life tonight
When I think of those east end lights,
muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room
downstairs
Prima donna lord you really should have
been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her
electric chair
And it's one more beer
And I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the
basement floor
And someone saved my life tonight sugar
bear
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't
you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
I never realized the passing hours
Of evening showers
A slip noose hanging, in my darkest
dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social
scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating
queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it! listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank god my music's still
alive
And someone saved my life tonight,
sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't
you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye
And I would have walked head on into
the deep end the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your h.p. demands forever
They're coming in the morning with a
truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone
saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone
saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field
you play alone
And someone saved my life tonight,
sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't
you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
Someone saved, someone saved,
someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved, someone saved,
someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved, someone saved,
someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved, someone saved,
someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved, someone saved,
someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved, someone saved,
someone saved my life tonight
Sister Moon
Sister moon will be my guide
In your blue blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I'm all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night
through
I'd go out of my mind but for you
I'd go out of my mind but for you
Lying in a mother's arms
The primal root of a woman's charms
I'm a stranger to the sun
My eyes are too weak
How cold is a heart
When it's warmth that he seeks?
You watch every night, you don't care
what I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
My hunger for her explains everything I've
done
To howl at the moon the whole night
through
And they really don't care if I do
I'd go out of my mind for you
Sister moon
"I Get A Kick Out Of You"
My story is much to sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me
totally cold
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting
vainly the old ennui
And I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
Some get a kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too
But I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you standing
there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to me, you
obviously don't adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some guy in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
Yet I get a kick out of you
A Thousand Years
A thousand years, a thousand more, common thief
A thousand times a million doors to I've kept this single faith, I have but one
eternity belief
I may have lived a thousand lives, a
thousand times I still love you
An endless turning stairway climbs I still want you
To a tower of souls A thousand times the mysteries unfold
If it takes another thousand years, a themselves
thousand wars, Like galaxies in my head
The towers rise to numberless floors in On and on the mysteries unwind
space themselves
I could shed another million tears, a Eternities still unsaid
million breaths, 'Til you love me
A million names but only one truth to face
King For A Day
A million roads, a million fears That's the way love goes
A million suns, ten million years of There's no way
uncertainty I'm coming back to you
I could speak a million lies, a million songs, I've just got to say
A million rights, a million wrongs in this That everything we did is through
balance of time You tried to undermine
But if there was a single truth, a single light The better ranges of my nature
A single thought, a singular touch of But soon your going to find
grace You should have started talking straighter
Then following this single point , this single Now don't you worry
flame, I won't put you down
The single haunted memory of your face I'm in no hurry, baby
To see you go to ground
I still love you Because it's true what they say
I still want you You know it's true what they say
A thousand times the mysteries unfold Your only king for a day
themselves I guess your happy that way
Like galaxies in my head
Well there's no hope
I may be numberless, I may be innocent For peace and reconciliation
I may know many things, I may be You're quick to play your hand
ignorant But what you haven't learnt is patience
Or I could ride with kings and conquer So look before you leap
many lands To tell the world your coloured story
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my It's clear your talk is cheap
hands You'd do anything to get your glory
I could be cannon food, destroyed a So spread your wings and fly
thousand times There is no doubt
Reborn as fortune's child to judge You're so sorry inside you've got
another's crimes something to shout about
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
You're only king for a day
I guess you're happy that way
And there's no love
Ever to be lost between us
I guess this is because
The damage that you've done is so
grievous
So I hang my head
To dwell on what might have been
But what you left instead
Is pieces of a broken dream
Now don't you worry
I won't put you down
I'm in no hurry
To see you go to ground
Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
You're only king for a day
I guess you're happy that way
So spread your wings and fly
There is no doubt
You're so sorry inside you've
Got something to shout about
Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
Your only king for a day
I guess you're happy that way
Don't you see that your only king for a
day
You must believe that..
Tonada del cabrestero
Camino del llano viene
Puntero en la soledad (bis)
El cabrestero cantando
Su copla en la madrugá (bis)
El toro pita la vaca
Y el novillo se retira
Como el novillo era toro
La vaca siempre lo mira
Mariposa, nube de agua...
La luna busca la sombra
Y no la puede encontrar (bis)
Porque la sombra se esconde ah....
Detrás de la madrugá (bis)
No llores más, nube de agua
Silencia tanta amargura
Que toda leche da queso
Y toda pena se cura,
Nube de agua.... Luceriiii...
Ya viene la mañanita
Cayendo sobre el palmar (bis)
Y el cabrestero prosigue
con su doliente cantar (bis)
Mañana cuando me vaye
Quién se acordará de mi
Solamente la tinaja
Por l´agua que le bebí
Lucerito, nube de agua...
Stella by starlight
The song a robin sings
Through years of endless springs
The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples by a nook where two lovers
hide
A great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight and not a dream
She's all of this and more
She's everything that you’d adore
The song a robin sings
Through years of endless springs

The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples by a nook where two lovers
hide
A great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight and not a dream
She's is all of this and more
She's everything that you would adore
Have you seen Stella by starlite
with moon in her ave
That's Stella by starlight raptures so rare
She's is all of this and more
She's everything that you would adore
Todo este campo es mio
Todo este campo es mío, mío
Ésta divina soledad
Arruyo de pájaros
Perfume de pétalos
Y un caballito blanco lejos...
Todo este campo es mío, mío
El arco iris baja
La tarde es de música
La lluvia de cántaros
Y una garcita pluma rosa...
Mariposa, mariposa
Tu que libas la miel
De aquella flor maravillosa
Caminito, caminito
La trepadora flor
Mi corazón enreda
Campesina, campesina
En la laguna azul
Se ve el adios de las espigas
Campesina, mariposa, pluma rosa
Todo éste campo es mío, mío...
Campesina, campesina
En la laguna azul
Se ve el adios de las espigas
Campesina, mariposa, pluma rosa
Todo éste campo es mío, mío...
