Song Lyrics

I walkde in - you walked out
i knew right then - something was up
ya said 'don't ask me no questions - won't tell ya no lies'
it comes as such a surprise
think i'll close my eyes- to the pain
cuz tonight in don't wanna know where you've bin

so won't you lie to me
then i can't be mistaken
swear that you will lie to me
i don't wanna hear my heart breakin'

tell me things that i wanna hear
i don't give a damn if you and't sincere
baby just swear (baby just swear)
swear that you'll lie (swear that you'll lie) to me

you walked in - i walked out
baby t6his ain't waht - we've bin about
if i touched your hand - would ya pull it away
was it something i didnd't say
i forgive ya all - the same
but tonight i dont' wanna know where you've bin

[chorus]
you can't say the things you want
i won't let ya tell the truth
cuz i don't (cut i dont) give a damn (give a damn)
and I don't (and i don't) wanna know where you've bin.

all i want is a real fast car
i wanna go too fast - i wanna go too far
i wanna take a bite of this sweet sweet life
while the gettin' is good and the time right
i wanna fill my cup - i wanna drink it up.

i don't wanna live forever
i just wanna go for broke
gonna ride thru any kind of weather
go out in a cloud of smoke
i don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever
don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

all i need is a good excuse
you can cut my reins and turn me loose
i'm gonna pull my weight i'm gonna push my luck
i'm gonna go down fightin' when my time is up
you know i don't care - i'm gonna get my share.

i don't wanna live forever
i just wanna go for broke
gonna ride thru any kind of weather
go out in a cloud of smoke
i don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever
don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

i wanna fill my cup - i wanna drink it up
ya - i don't care i wanna get my share

i don't wanna live forever...

Ooh ... Try to see it my way.
Ooh ... Try to see it my way.
Well, I know you cover up
From all the things you did
That tied you up.
Just wanna let you know
That I wanna keep you warm
Until the sun warms up the dark.

So move in a little closer,
Then you can think it over,
Just try to see it my way.
Think it over,
Just try to see it my way.

Well, you said you needed time
for all the things
That run around your mind
How can I let you know
That I wanna keep you warm
Until the sun warms up the dark.

So move in a little closer,
Then you can think it over,
Try to see it my way.
Think it over,
Try to see it my way.

Think it over.
Think it over.
Try to see it my way, my way.
Think it over.
Just Try to see it my way.

I know that you're curious,
So don't be serious,
You know there's no cause for alarm.

When you're down - out
Left here in doubt,
All the things that are right will go wrong.

Love is a state of mind,
It's keepin' us both alive,
Sometimes it's hard to find.
Love's in a state of mind.

Wait just a minute,
You know that it's finished,
So don't you go carry it on.

Cause I'm down - out
Left here in doubt,
Well, we try but we can't get along.

Love is a state of mind,
It's keepin' us both alive,
Sometimes it's hard to find.
Love's in a state of mind.

Pardon me,
Have you got the time
To let me say hello.
Couldn't help but see
That you look like a lady I used to know
A long time ago.

Remember the time we spent together.
Remember the days I dreamt forever.
Remember the nights we stayed together.
Whatever I do I still remember.

It's hard to believe
That I held her up
And then she let me down.
Someone's sayin' to me
That she broke my heart and left me
Spinnin' round and round and round.

Remember the time we spent together.
Remember the days I dreamt forever.
Remember the nights we stayed together.
Whatever I do I still remember.

Could have been a winner,
Should have taken me.
It was so damn cold I shoulda held ya
'Cause you were shakin' me.

Well, I almost had a question,
When she led me home,
I spent too much time for one night
Bein' alone.

She said you're wastin' time,
You're takin' a chance on me.
You're wastin' time,
You're takin' a chance on me.

Should have got the rambler,
Back seat movie for two.
I spent too much time for one night
Bein' alone with you.

Should have seen her daddy
'Case he said she had to go.
I spent too much time for one night
Bein' all alone.

She said you're wastin' time,
You're takin' a chance on me.
You're wastin' time,
You're takin' a chance on me.

I can fool myself for a night
Goin' on
Like I don't need you any more.

That's like walking in the dark.
Tel me now
That you'll give me all your love.

Oh, give me your love give me your love
Or nothing at all nothing at all.
Oh, give me your love.

I've been everywhere and here I go again
Looking out for me and
Leaving you behind.

But let me hold you just one time.
So will you give me your love,
I'll know that you'll be mine.

Oh, give me your love give me your love
Or nothing at all nothing at all
Oh, give me your love.

There you go looking cool,
Writing rules
For your theories of romance.

I know that you doubt me,
But without me
You'd be tearing off your one chance.

Wait and see,
This could be the last time for me.
Baby, just wait and see.

All the times
I came running back
Down the path of the least resistance.

I felt my body
Was just a hobby
For your heart's indifference.

Wait and see,
This could be the last time for me.
Now baby, can't you wait and see?
Just you wait and see.
Just you wait and see.
Wait and see.

I've been trapped by your innocence,
Haven't seen you since
You caught me, baby.

Shot down by the one I love,
Now I'm taking off
With the things you taught me.

Wait and see,
This could be the last time for me.
Now baby, can't you wait and see?
Just you wait and see.
Just you wait and see.
Wait and see.

Now you know
That I stood outside your window
Just a little too long.

What you're gonna do
When the hours pass away
And you know that I'm gone.
Well, it may be a week,
It may be a day,
I'm six blocks over
And I don't know what to say to you.

Jokin' 'bout your mama
Went a little too far.
But you caught me
Out with the others
Till the early dawn.

There may be a time
If we played it right
I'm six blocks over
And you wanna spend a night with me.

Now the hours and the minutes
Just fly away.
You win some and you lose some,
You gotta get it right
Or I'll be saying
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.

Thinkin' back to
The way you're holdin' me down,
I'd be better off dead.

Now you know
That the time is running out
Of the things we said.

Well, it may be a week,
It may be a day,
I'm six blocks over
And I don't know what to say to you.

Now the hours and the minutes
Just fly away.
You win some and you lose some,
You gotta get it right
Or I'll be saying
Bye bye bye bye ...

I'm riding in the middle
Halfway into you
And halfway into something else,
I dont't know what to do.
You said you'd make it easy,
You said you'd take the time,
But you call it off
Before I change my mind.

'Cause you're not decidin'
You're only hidin' from love.
You can't deny it,
You're only hidin' from love.

Well, I've been makin' changes,
But you've been changin' too.
You were hopin' love was somethin' else,
I was hopin' it was you.
You said you'd make it easy, babe,
You said you'd take the time,
But you call it off
Before I change my mind.

Cause you're not decidin'
You're only hidin' from love.
You can't deny it,
You're only hidin' from love.

I know you're tryin',
But you're only hidin' from love.
You say you're shy,
But you're only hidin' from love.

Girl, you're such a bad thing
Standing there all alone
Looking so good to me baby
Can't do no wrong (hey, baby)

Put your arms around me
Set my world on fire
There ain't never gonna be nobody like you baby
Honey, that's no lie (hey, honey)

You put that spell on me
I'll tell you, honey
You know you set me free
Hey, little girl you know my hearts desires
Come on and give it to me, baby
I can't deny ya !

Hey, hey, what I'm sayin' is -
Do it to me one more time
Oh, give you one more chance
This heart of mine
Do it to me one more time, baby
Can't get enough of your love !

Oh, you're my Motown lover
Girl, of my dreams
When you laugh, when you cry
Girl, that look in your eyes
You're my everything, oh baby,
Oh baby, oh baby

You're puttin' that spell on me
I'll tell you baby
You know you set me free
Ah, little girl you know my heart's on fire
I'm sayin' come do it to me baby
It's you I desire

Hey, hey, what I'm sayin' is -
Do it to me one more time
Oh, give you one more chance
This heart of mine
Do it to me one more time
Can't get enough of your love !
Can't get enough of your love !

Whoa, oh, my friends say I'm a dreamer
It takes a fool in love
To know what I'm feeling
Each time you say goodbye
I find a reason why to give us one more try
Knowing, knowing, baby
You're gonna hurt me ! ... Ooh, ooh -
2oh, oh, oh, do it to me one more time
Give you one more chance this heart of mine
Do it to me one more time
( repeat 3 times ) can't get enough of your love !

Got this feeling deep inside me
There ain't nothing I can hide, baby
I just love the way you love me
Do it to me one more time, oh baby
Can't you see girl, that I need you
All I wanna do is please you
Even though it's hard to love you
Do it to me one more time, oh yeah
When you move girl, you tease me
We make love slow and easy
I just want you here beside me
Do it to me one more time !
Do it, do it baby

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you

(Chorus)
Say you, say me; say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me; say it together
Naturally

I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
And from behind of walls of doubt a voice was crying out

Say you, say me... (Chorus)

As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
A helping hand - Some one who understands
That when you feel you've lost your way
You've got some one there to say "I'll show you"

(Chorus)
So you think you know the answers - Oh no
'Couse the whole world has got you dancing
That's right - I'm telling you
It's time to start believing - Oh yes
Believing who you are: You are a shining star

(Chorus)
Say it together... naturally

Black night is not right,
I don't feel so bright,
I don't care to sit tight.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.
I don't need a dark tree,
I don't want a rough sea,
I can't feel, I can't see.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.

Black night, black night,
I don't need black night,
I can't see dark night.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.

If you're leaving close the door.
I'm not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor.
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man and my world is pale.
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale.

Had a friend once in a room,
had a good time but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month in that room
we found a reason for the things we had to do.

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man, now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it from his soul.

We all came out to Montreux,
On the Lake Geneva shoreline.
To make records with a mobile,
We didn't have much time.
But Frank Zappa and the Mothers,
Were at the best place around,
But some stupid with a flare gun,
Burned the place to the ground.
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water...

They burned down the gambling house,
It died with an awful sound.
(uh) Funky Claude was running in and out,
Pulling kids out the ground.
When it all was over,
We had to find another place.
But Swiss time was running out,
It seemed that we would lose the race.
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water...

We ended up at the Grand Hotel.
It was empty cold and bare.
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside,
Making our music there.
With a few red lights, a few old beds,
We made a place to sweat.
No matter what we get out of this,
I know I know we'll never forget.
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water...

I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamma's, daddy's, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up some times
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown full things separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
Theres so much more left so say
If you were with me today face to face

Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And we were here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye) x3

Bye bye

And you never got a chance to see how good I’ve done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever

Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
Am standing right here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye) x3

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamma's, daddy's, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye, bye

Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this (I never knew it)
And everyday life goes on like (everyday of my life I wish)
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile” (I wish)
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by (I wish, I wish, I wish as time goes by)
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And we were here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Its hard to say bye bye bye bye bye bye
So come on somebody sing it with me
Wave your hands up high
Hey hey, this if for my peoples who just lost somebody
So this is for everybody
You put your hand to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye bye)

Good lord, I tried
To push her memory to the back o'my mind
"Mustang Sally" from her head to her toe
My life was in shambles
When she shot down that road

That was then, this is now
If I learned my lesson. I forgot it somehow
Headlights in the driveway,
A knock at the door,
I hear that voice, and I know what's in store...

Whoa oh whoa oh
I looked in those angel eyes
Whoa oh whoa oh
The devil was in disguise, yeah

She took me,
Down the road to ruin
(Yeah Baby) My Head was spinnin' round
Don't know what I'm doin'
Back on the road to ruin...

(Listen) Hip hips Sexy legs-
Ain't no surprise I got on my knewws and begged
Forked toungue, and pointed tail
If we make it this time, it's a cold day in hell

Whoa oh whoa oh
She said she'd be sweet this time yeah
Whoa oh whoa oh
One kiss and it all seemed so right

She took me,
Down the road to ruin
(Yeah Baby) My Head was spinnin' round
Don't know what I'm doin'
Back on the road to ruin...

Whoa oh whoa oh
She said she'd be sweet this time
Whoa oh whoa oh
The devil was in disguise

[Chorus out]

Misguided woman knows my name
Ain't go nobody else to blame
I gota a girl back home
She's waiting all alone

Ten weeks of rock and roll arcade
Seems like a year since I've been paid
I got to let it go, no one will ever know

I got a little to loose
In Oklahoma city
I didn't care if she was young
I didn't care if she was pretty
I got a little too loose
A little too loose
A little too loose, oh, oh, oh

Keep little secrets far too long
Guess taht i'll put them in a song
I got to let it go, on one will ever know

Baby, can i get you a taxi
She said, "that's ok, tonight I"m staying here"
All that little girl wanted yeah
Was a slippery souvenir

When the honeymoon's over
Where do we go from here
What do we do when we get there
Who's at the other end

[B-Section:]
Yeah, one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches on
After the shock

[Chorus:]
We Rock and Roll over, over & then
Show your true colors
Put on a new face
Love is like a faucet
Turnin' off and on
Rock and Roll over
Will the real you stand up

Same time next year
Life is full of chances
Is this the Lady or the Tiger
There's never any answers

[B-Sections:]
Ooh, one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches
After the shock

[Chorus:]

[Solo]

[Bridge:]
Love and Hate is a fine, fine line
But if you're the cure, now, baby, I'll make the time

[B-Section:]
[Chorus out:]

You have me burnin' up
With your bad timing
One small moment
I'm lost in your love

I'm lost and innocent
Turn my head around
Your one liners
I can do without

[B-Section:]
Easy come, easy go
I can't back down baby
I should have let you know that

[Chorus:]
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
If I only had you by my side
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
So wave goodbye
Anything for you

One day comes
And I dissappear
You'll get your independance
Free and clear

Ah, you got it in you
A chance to make it work
Your heart will keep on beating
And I'll still hurt

You can knock me out
I've been down for the ten-count before
Better give it up
Don't have to show me I've had enough

[1st B-Section:]
I've seen the way you've been
Stealin' with those eyes.
You're high-heeled trouble
You're dangerous
With a criminal mind

[Chorus:]
How can you do what you do
What you've done to me
Take the pain and the pleasure
Turn it around on me
How can you do what you do
Is what I don't believe

Break down the walls
Live and learn from a hurricane
You just can't come and go
Another hit on the hurt parade

[2nd B-Section:]
You think I love it when you're
Tearin' me apart
Don't you see, you're playin' games
With my heart

[Chorus:]
How can you do what you do
What you've done to me
Take the pain and the pleasure
Turn it around on me
How can you do what you do
Is what I don't believe

[Bridge:]
What went wrong
Who's to blame
Tell me now
You're never gonna change

[Lead Solo]

[1st B-Section:]
I've seen the way you've been
Stealin' with those eyes
You're high-heeled trouble
You're dangerous with a criminal mind

Way back in the early days
1946 She walked in with the look o'love
That girl had bedroom eyes
Fire engine lipstick lips
All heads turned ooh with a human desire
It set the world on fire.

My kinda woman
Someone's yeseteryear dreams
That's my kinda woman
I could tear down the silver screen

A fallen woman femme fatale
her body screamed heartbreak
Hotel...brains and beauty
Break down the walls, I fall
Down, to my knees,
When I see her picture in the
Movie magazines
All heads turned ooh for the lady in red
Bring up the house lights and say

My kinda woman
Bring back those yesteryear dreams
My kind woman help me
Tear down the silver screen

Picture perfect
X marks the spot
There's just no way
To tell you how hot
My kinda woman

If I could go back in time
To the right place eye to eye
Magic to burn ooh with a human desire
She set the world on fire

My kinda woman
Someone's yesteryear dreams
My kinda woman
I could tear down the silver screen
My kinda woman
Bring back those yesteryear dreams
And that's my kinda woman
Help me tear down the silver screen

Equal Opportunity knocked
Twice too late to stay on top of it all
All for one, one for all.
Push me, pull me, way too far
One way or another someone's gotta take
The fall, you better look at yourself

When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
You made your last point baby
It's all I can take

[Chorus:]
Take a walk -
Take a long and lonely walk
You better think about it
Come back to a whole new start
Cause-I wash my hands
Of you and your plans to take over
Take a walk

A lover's crime and punishment
Is do this, do that and put your eyes
Back in your head
Let's play house instead
You complain about everything
You're not happy 'til the chain's
Wrapped 'round my leg
It's about time for a change

When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
Too much is enough now, baby
It's all I can take, so!

[Chorus:]

I swear by love
You got it
All and much more
Than one could ever hope for
'Cause I would take a number
Just to wait in line, for a look
And to gimme the high sign

[B-Section:]
Red lights green lights
Go for the gold
Something inside, I want you now
I want it all, and more than you know

[Chorus:]
My mind is twisted, tied up in knots
My heart is achin' from a shot in the dark
I got a feeling what this is all about
I think it's time for the ...big love
I'm gettin' ready for the big love

Everytime I think about you
I get a lump in my throat
From the big beat in my heart
I am helpless, hungry for attention
I know... you could see me fall apart

[B-Section:]
[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Ready, willing and able, give me
The chance to show you-I want it all
More than you know

She grabs her magazines
She packs her things and she goes
She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall, she burns all
Her notes and she knows, she's been here too few years
To feel this old

He smokes his cigarette, he stays outside 'till it's gone
If anybody ever had a heart, he wouldn't be alone
He knows, she's been here too few years, to be gone

And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you I'll just hang

The trouble understand, is she got reasons he don't
Funny how he couldn't see at all, 'til she grabbed up her coat
And she goes, she's been here too few years to take it all in stride
But still it's much too long, to let hurt go (you let her go)
And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you I'll just hang
The same for you
I'll always hang
Well I always say, it would be good to go away
But if things don't work out like we think
And there's nothing there to ease this ache
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you, I'll just hang

What we learned here is love tastes bitter when it's gone
Past yourself forget the light, things look dirty when it's on
Funny how it comes to pass, that all the good slips away
And there's no one around you can remember being good to
You

[chorus 1]
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame

What we lost here is something better left alone
Second steps have been forgotten, will you tell me how
They go
Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again
There's no one around you can remember being good, for you
So

[chorus 2]
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame

We never thought we'd get so troubled
We could never think that much
It should never get this bad

So let the wind blow ya, across a big floor
But there's no one around who can tell us what we're here
For
Funny in a certain light, how we all look the same
And there's no one in life you can remember ever stood
For you, so

I forget when words were only words
She knows the party makes me nervous
In this stage we can't get hurt
Don't try to understand me

We're too cool to be alone
But, not too crazy to get busted

I found out one life ain't enough
I need another soul to feed on
I'm the flame I can't get burnt
I'm wholly understated

I found silence in this space
An on and off again attraction
I need such amazing grace
Heaven sweep me away

[chorus]

Love don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter
Don't strain, cuz nothing ever comes from it
And the people we've become, well
They've never been the people who we are

I strap on one horse and prayed for luck
I dug another hole to bleed
I know exactly how this works
I need a new feel dirty

I don't need you crowding up my space
I just want to get inside you
You can't blame the heart you save
Giving something awa

[chorus]

I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
I dreamed that the buildings all fell down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
In my head I heard the sound
Like fifteen strangers dancing

But oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I wish I was somebody else, baby
Oh how I wish you could own me

[chorus]

Kody sat down on the avenue
He tapped his feet, to the humming of the highway
He watched the light shine down on the broken glass and thought
I don't got no reasons, yet
There it is and there it was
It was clear to all of us
We kept this hat of broken dreams
And we pulled them out, when we needed them around

[Chorus:]
So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
And please give me direction, I think the hurt sets in
And I don't feel nothing

There's a squeak hinge down on the back gate
It lets us know if he comes around
I don't sleep that good anyway
If you've never heard the silence, it's a God awful sound

[Chorus:]
So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
And please give me direction, I think I just caved in
And I don't feel nothing

I don't feel nothing, no I don't feel nothing
There's nothing to feel good about here

Don't much get down to the avenue
I could drive, but it takes so much to get there
Don't get off on all the broken glass, the cadillac scene,
Well
I've seen a lot of good things die and I'm
In an over emotional way

[Chorus:]
So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
And please give me direction, I think the hurt sets in
And I don't feel nothing

She don't, but she will
He says anything to keep her by him
She takes, what she gets, and she never did flinch
over, and over, well anyone
With any mind would think that's all she gets

[chorus]

If you want you can get to know me well
We get along so we shouldn't argue
And I don't know, said I don't know
All these feelings cloud up my reasoning
Cloud up my reasoning

I know, but I still
Believe in ignorance as my best defense
So go on, wreck me
Funny how I carry on, and not be taken over
Will not roll over on anyone,
cuz anyone would stand up on my side

[chorus]

You know it's funny how sometimes,
It don't work out like you want to
No you never get nothing at all
Then she tells you that it's nothing at all
Then she tells you that it's over, boy don't you hate it
When it's over
I guess something just got lost, and it deeply saddens me
So over, and over anyone, who's anyone

[chorus]

This old world well
Don't it make you wanna think damn
This cold girl well
Don't she wanna make you scream, damn

What's the matter girl
Don't you think I'm good enough
This old heart's had a whole lot a breakin' down
She's got all these reasons in her head

[chorus 1]
All that time she knew if I lied
You can bet she will
She's taking her time 'til I thought I would die
And I can't sit still

Things got turned 'round
Don't know where I started from, damn
Can't eat, can't sleep
Could have been a bigger man, damn
What's the matter girl don't you think I'm bright enough
This old man had a hard time getting here
You can leave your number at the door

[chorus 1]

And there's nothing at all
Yeah there's nothing at all
Well there's nothing at all
To make her change her mind

This old house been quiet since
You went away, damn
Mixed up fixed out
Don't forget who got you here, damn

What's the matter world
Don't you see I opened up
This whole part been played by another man
I pulled out the reason card instead

[chorus 1]

[chorus 2]

Says she can find
The things that make up a life
I bet she will
She stays behind, I could stay here all night
I could stay here until

Until there's nothing at all
Yeah there's nothing at all
Well there's nothing at all
To make her change her mind

You think this life would make me bolder
But I'm running scared is all
I hang on everything about you
You think I'd settle down cuz I'm older
But I roll with the changes is all
I'm same old trailer trash in new shoes

She gets sad when there's nothing going on
She says it makes her feel damn worthless

[chorus 1]

Well you got to think with a girl like that
Any love at all, is better than nothing
It's better than nothing

I put my hands around your shoulder
You're saying you're scared is all
I think I know too much about you
You think this life would make me colder
I'd give in to the alcohol
I put my loving arms around you, child

You knew damn well there was nothing going on
Is that what makes you feel damn worthless

[chorus 2]

Well you got to think with a girl like that
Any love is better than nothing
It's better than nothing
You got to think, with a girl like that
Any love at all, is better than nothing
It's better than nothing
Yeah she drags you down and she pulls you up
She pulls you up
Says that she's sorry now but it's not enough
To pull you up
She's sorry

I wake up quick just like I want to
Yeah but I stay out much too late
You think this life can get a bit unkind but she stays
Down till the worth is gone
And pulls you up, she pulls you up,
She pulls you up and over, over

[chorus 2]

[chorus 1]

It's nothing, it's so normal you
Just stand there I could say so much
But I don't go there cuz I don't want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

This don't mean that, you own me
This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
But things worked out just like you wanted too
If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what I'm going to do

And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like
They do
It's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like
They do
But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here, is wondering what it's like to be with
Somebody else
Everyone here's to blame, everyone here
Gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone hides
Shades of shame, but looking inside we're the same, we're
The same
And we're all grown now, but we don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep this under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But it's over now, and I don't know how, it's over now
There's no getting back to good

She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By a hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's
Gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well

This ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you
Around
You don't owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

[chorus]

I wanna push you around, well I will, I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
Well I will

She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is
Gonna hurt ya
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to shine
Cuz it's a little bit dirty well

Don't just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated I've been wronged, and you
You don't know me, I can't change
I won't do anything at all

[chorus]

Oh but don't bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so
Crazy, crazy
Don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby

[chorus]

She say it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
She's always worried about things like that
She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

[chorus]

She says baby
It's 3 am I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it

She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

[chorus]

She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside it's stopped raining

[chorus]

It's sitting by the overcoat,
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I can't bring myself to throw away
And also
Reach she said for no one else but you,
Cuz you won't turn away
When someone else is gone

I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And I'm so
Terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away
It's me, yeah I can't get myself to go away
It's me, and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God I shouldn't feel this way

[chorus]
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day, always ain't that right
And no Lord your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day, always ain't that right

Well I'm surprised that you'd believe
In any thing that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
And you're so
Set in life man, a pisser they're waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what, so long

[chorus]
It's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
It's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God I shouldn't feel this way

[chorus]

I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I make the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come see them when I'm...done, when I'm
Done
I wonder what it's like to be a super hero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow
Sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned

[chorus]
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get
me some
Boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone

[chorus]
Please don't change, please don't break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change, at all from me
To you, and you to me

[chorus]
