I′ve been watching you from a distance The distance sees through your disguise All I want from you is your hurting I want to heal you I want to save you from the dark
Give unto me your troubles I′ll endure your suffering Place onto me your burden I′ll drink your deadly poison
Why should I care if they hurt you Somehow it matters more to me Than if I were hurting myself Save you (save you) I′ll save you
Give unto me your troubles I′ll endure your suffering Place onto me your burden I′ll drink your deadly poison
Fear not the flame of my love′s candle Let it be the sun in your world of darkness Give unto me all that frightens you I′ll have your nightmares for you If you sleep soundly
Give unto me your troubles I′ll endure your suffering Place onto me your burden I′ll drink your deadly poison
Fear not the flame of my love′s candle Let it be the sun in your world of darkness Give unto me all that frightens you I′ll have your nightmares for you If you sleep soundly
Fear not the flame of my love′s candle Let it be the sun in your world of darkness
When they all come crashing down- midflight You know you′re not the only one When they′re so alone they find a back door out of life You know you′re not the only one
We′re all grieving Lost and bleeding
All our lives We′ve been waiting For someone to call our leader All your lies I′m not believing Heaven shine a light down on me
So afraid to open your eyes- hypnotized You know you′re not the only one Never understood this life And you′re right I don′t deserve but you know I′m not the only one
We′re all grieving Lost and bleeding
All our lives We′ve been waiting For someone to call our leader All your lies I′m not believing Heaven shine a light down on me
Don′t look down Don′t look into the eyes of the world beneath you Don′t look down, you′ll fall down, You′ll become their sacrifice Right or wrong Can′t hold onto the fear that I′m lost without you If I can′t feel, I′m not mine, I′m not real
All our lives We′ve been waiting For someone to call our leader All your lies I′m not believing Heaven shine a light down on me
If you want to live, let live. If you want to go, let go. I′m not afraid to dream, to sleep, sleep forever. I don′t need to touch the sky. I just want to feel that high, And you refuse to lift me.
Guess it wasn′t real after all. Guess it wasn′t real all along.
If I fall and all is lost, It′s where I belong.
If you want to live, let live. If you want to go, let go. I′m never gonna be your sweet, sweet surrender.
Guess it wasn′t real after all. Guess it wasn′t real all along.
If I fall and all is lost, No light to lead the way, Remember that all alone is where I belong.
In a dream, Will you give your love to me? Beg my broken heart to beat, Save my life, change my mind.
If I fall and all is lost. No light to lead the way. Remember that all alone is where I belong.
Stay low Soft, dark, and dreamless Far beneath my nightmares and loneliness I hate me For breathing without you I don′t want to feel anymore for you
Grieving for you I′m not grieving for you Nothing real love can′t undo And though I may have lost my way All paths lead straight to you
I long to be like you Lie cold in the ground like you
Halo Blinding wall between us Melt away and leave us alone again Humming, haunted somewhere out there I believe our love can see us through in death
I long to be like you Lie cold in the ground like you There′s room inside for two and I′m not grieving for you I′m coming for you
You′re not alone No matter what they told you you′re not alone I′ll be right beside you forevermore
I long to be like you, sis Lie cold in the ground like you ter There′s room inside for two and I′m not grieving for you And as we lay in silent bliss I know you remember me I long to be like you Lie cold in the ground like you There′s room inside for two and I′m not grieving for you I′m coming for you
Meet me after dark again and I′ll hold you I am nothing more than to see you there And maybe tonight, we′ll fly so far away We′ll be lost before the dawn
If only night can hold you where i can see you, my love Then let me never ever wake again And maybe tonight, we′ll fly so far away We′ll be lost before the dawn
[Chorus] somehow i know that we cant wake again from this dream it′s not real, but it′s ours
Maybe tonight, we′ll fly so far away We′ll be lost before the dawn
Maybe tonight, we′ll fly so far away We′ll be lost before the dawn
How can I pretend that I don′t see What you hide so carelessly? I saw her bleed You heard me breathe And I froze inside myself And turned away I must be dreaming
We all live We all die That does not begin to justify you
It′s not what it seems Not what you think No, I must be dreaming It′s only in my mind Not in real life No, I must be dreaming
Help you know I′ve got to tell someone Tell them what I know you′ve done I fear you but spoken fears can come true
We all live We all die That does not begin to justify you
It′s not what it seems Not what you think No, I must be dreaming It′s only in my mind Not in real life No, I must be dreaming
We all live and We all die but That does not begin to justify you
It′s not what it seems Not what you think No, I must be dreaming It′s only in my mind Not in real life No, I must be dreaming
Not what it seems Not what you think I must be dreaming Just in my mind Not in real life I must be dreaming
"You hold the answers deep within your own mind. Consciously, you′ve forgotten it. That′s the way the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us to entertain, we reject it. We erase it from our memories. But the answer is always there."
(Can′t wash it all away) (Can′t wish it all away) (Can′t hope it all away) (Can′t cry it all away)
The pain that grips you The fear that binds you Releases life in me In our mutual Shame we idolize To blind them from the truth That finds a way from who we are Please don′t be afraid When the darkness fades away The dawn will break the silence Screaming in our hearts My love for you still grows This I do for you Before I try to fight the truth my final time
"We′re supposed to try and be real. And I feel alone, and we′re not together. And that is real."
Can′t wash it all away Can′t wish it all away Can′t cry it all away Can′t scratch it all away
Lying beside you Listening to you breathe The life that flows inside of you Burns inside of me Hold and speak to me Of love without a sound Tell me you will live through this And I will die for you Cast me not away Say you′ll be with me For I know I cannot Bear it all alone
"You′re not alone, are you?" "Never... Never."
Can′t fight it all away Can′t hope it all away Can′t scream it all away It just won′t fade away, No
Can′t wash it all away Can′t wish it all away Can′t cry it all away Can′t scratch it all away
(Can′t fight it all away) (Can′t hope it all away) Can′t scream it all away Ooh, it all away Ooh, it all away
"But the answer is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten." "Because I′m tired of it too." "Because I′m tired of it too. "Because I′m I′m dying too, "Because I′m I′m dying too"
I hold my breath As this life Starts to take it′s toll I hide behind a smile As this perfect plan unfolds But, oh, God I feel I′ve been lied to Lost all faith In the things I have achieved And I...
[Chorus] I′ve woken now To find myself in the shadows Of the lie I′ve created I′m longing to be lost in you Away from this place I′m in Won′t you take me away from me
Crawling through this world As disease flows through my veins I look into myself but My own heart has been changed I can′t go on like this I loathe all I′ve become
[Chorus]
Lost in a dying world I reach for something more I have grown so weary Of this lie I live
[Chorus]
And I have woken now To find myself I′m lost in shadows of my own I′m longing to be lost in you Away from me [Echo out]
The words have been drained from this pensil Sweet words that I want to give you And I can′t sleep, I need to tell you... goodnight
When we′re together I fell perfect When I′m pulled away from you I fall apart All that you say is sacred to me Your eyes are so blue, I can′t look away as we lay in the stillness You whisper to me, Amy, marry me, promiss you′ll stay with me Oh, you don′t have to ask me, you know you are that I live for You know, I′d die just to hold you, stay with you Somehow I′ll show you that you are my night sky I′ll always been right behind you Now I′ll always be right beside you
So many nights I′ve cried myself to sleep Now that you love me I love myself I never thought I would say that I never thought I′d be you
Please, please forgive me, But I won’t be home again. Maybe someday you’ll have woke up, And, barely conscious, you’ll say to no one: "isn’t something missing? "
You won’t cry for my absence, I know - You forgot me long ago. Am I that unimportant...? Am I so insignificant...? Isn’t something missing? Isn’t someone missing me?
[chorus] Even though I’d be sacrificed, You won’t try for me, not now. Though I’d die to know you love me, I’m all alone. Isn’t someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me, But I won’t be home again. I know what you do to yourself, Shudder deep and cry out: "isn’t something missing? Isn’t someone missing me? "
[chorus]
And if I bleed, I’ll bleed, Knowing you don’t care. And if I sleep just to dream of you And wake without you there, Isn’t something missing? Isn’t something...
Never thought that I′d be leaving you today So alone and wondering why I feel this way So wide the world Can love remember how to get me home to you Someday
We′ll be together again All just a dream in the end We′ll be together again
So many fears were swimming around and around in my mind Who would have dreamed the secrets we would find
I′ve found a world where love and dreams and darkness all collide Maybe this time we can leave our broken world behind
We′ll be together again All just a dream in the end
Stoplight lock the door Don′t look back Undress in the dark And hide from you All of you
You′ll never know the way your words have haunted me I can′t believe you′d ask these things of me You don′t know me
You belong to me My snow white queen There′s nowhere to run, so lets just get it over Soon I know you′ll see You′re just like me Don′t scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
Wake up in a dream Frozen fear All your hands on me I can′t scream
I can′t escape the twisted way you think of me I feel you in my dreams and I don′t sleep
You belong to me My snow white queen There′s nowhere to run, so lets just get it over Soon I know you′ll see You′re just like me Don′t scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
I can′t save your life Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting I′m losing my mind and you just stand there and stare as my world divides
You belong to me My snow white queen There′s nowhere to run, so lets just get it over Soon I know you′ll see You′re just like me Don′t scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear Sealed with lies through so many tears Lost from within, pursuing the end I fight for the chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough You will never be good enough You were never conceived in love You will not rise above
[Chorus:] They′ll never see I′ll never be I′ll struggle on and on to feed this hunger Burning deep inside of me
But through my tears breaks a blinding light Birthing a dawn to this endless night Arms outstretched, awaiting me An open embrace upon a bleeding tree
Rest in me and I′ll comfort you I have lived and I died for you Abide in me and I vow to you I will never forsake you
[Chorus] [Chorus]
Rest in me and I′ll comfort you I have lived and I died for you Abide in me and I vow to you I will never forsake you
Listen to each drop of rain (listen listen) Aaah Whispering secrets in rain (listen listen) Aaah Frantically searching for someone to hear That story be more than it hides Please don′t let go Can′t we stay for a while? It′s just to hard to say goodbye Listen to the rain
Aa...ah Listen listen listen listen listen listen to the rain Weeping Oo...ooh oooh ooh oo...ooh Oo...ooh oooh oh oh
I stand alone in the storm (listen listen) Aaah Suddenly sweet words take hold (Listen listen) Aaah Hurry they stay for you haven′t much time Open your eyes to the love around you You may feel you′re alone But I′m here still with you You can do what you dream Just remember to listen to the rain
Hold on, like you don′t remember me Underneath everything I guess I always dreamed That I would be the one to take you away From all this wasted pain But I can′t save you from yourself
Don′t you want to feel? Don′t you want to live your life? How much longer are you gonna give in to the fear? Holding you down until you′re frozen I can′t let you fall apart
You don′t even know what you′ve done to me But I would be the one to take you away From all this wasted pain If you could just wake up
Don′t you want to feel? Don′t you want to live your life? How much longer are you gonna give in to the fear? holding you down until you′re all alone All alone and drowning in your past Take it back, take it back I still believe you can
Don′t you want to feel? Don′t you want to live your life? How much longer are you gonna give in to the fear? I can′t go on pretending So give me something real No one in your way but you How much longer are you gonna give in to the fear? Holding you down til you disappear
I′d give anything to give me to you Can you forget the world that you thought you knew If you want me, Come and find me Nothing′s stopping you so please release me
I′ll believe All your lies Just pretend you love me Make believe Close your eyes I′ll be anything for you
Nothing left to make me feel anymore There′s only you and everyday I need more If you want me Come and find me I′ll do anything you say just tell me
I′ll believe All your lies Just pretend you love me Make believe Close your eyes I′ll be anything for you
I′ll believe All your lies Just pretend you love me Make believe Close your eyes I′ll be anything for you
Anything for you I′ll become your earth and sky Forever never die I′ll be everything you need
I′ll believe All your lies Just pretend you love me Make believe Close your eyes I′ll be anything for you
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming Cannot cease for the fear Of silent nights Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming The goddess of imaginary light
[CHORUS:] In my field of paper flowers And candy clouds of lullaby I lie inside myself for hours And watch my purple sky fly over me
I linger in the doorway Of alarm clock screaming monsters Calling my name Let me stay Where the wind will whisper to me Where the raindrops as they′re falling tell a story
[Chorus]
If you need to leave the world you live in Lay your head down and stay a while Though you may not remember dreaming Something waits for you to breathe agai
hold on to me love you know i can′t stay long all i wanted to say was i love you and i′m not afraid can you hear me? can you feel me in your arms?
holding my last breath safe inside myself are all my thoughts of you sweet raptured light it ends here tonight
i′ll miss the winter a world of fragile things look for me in the white forest hiding in a hollow tree (come find me) i know you hear me i can taste it in your tears
holding my last breath safe inside myself are all my thoughts of you sweet raptured light it ends here tonight
closing your eyes to disappear you pray your dreams will leave you here but still you wake and know the truth no one′s there
say goodnight don′t be afraid calling me calling me as you fade to black
holding my last breath safe inside myself are all my thoughts of you sweet raptured light it ends here tonight
Can you forgive me again? I don′t know what I said But I didn′t mean to hurt you I heard the words come out I felt like I would die It hurts so much to hurt you
Then you look at me You′re not shouting anymore You′re silently broken
I′d give anything now To hear those words from you Each time I say something I regret I cry I don′t want to lose you. But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.
′Cause you were made for me Somehow I′ll make you see How happy you make me Oh…
I can′t live this life Without you by my side I need you to survive
So stay with me You look in my eyes and I′m screaming inside that I′m sorry.
And you forgive me again you’re my one true friend And I never meant to hurt you
Playground school bell rings again, Rain clouds come to play again, Has no one told you she′s not breathing? Hello, I am your mind giving you someone to talk to, Hello...
If I smile and don′t believe, Soon I know I′ll wake from this dream, Don′t try to fix me, I′m not broken, Hello, I′m the lie, living for you so you can hide, Don′t cry...
Suddenly I know I′m not sleeping, Hello, I′m still here, All that′s left of yesterday...
Catch me as I fall Say you′re here and it′s all over now Speaking to the atmosphere No one′s here and I fall into myself This truth drive me Into madness I know I can stop the pain If I will it all away
[CHORUS:] Don′t turn away (Don′t give in to the pain) Don′t try to hide (Though they′re screaming your name) Don′t close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don′t turn out the light (Never sleep never die)
I′m frightened by what I see But somehow I know That there′s much more to come Immobilized by my fear And soon to be Blinded by tears I can stop the pain If I will it all away
[Chorus]
Fallen angels at my feet Whispered voices at my ear Death before my eyes Lying next to me I fear She beckons me Shall I give in Upon my end shall I begin Forsaking all I′ve fallen for I rise to meet my end
It′s taking you too long to decide And I don′t want to be the one, the one Crying over wasted time
If you think you′re strong enough to let me in Then come on, stand up and be honest, be honest I′m tired of feeling so alone Cause you won′t let me understand I don′t wanna pretend, I wanna feel, I want to love
Say you will or say you won′t Open your heart to me Now or never, tell the truth Is this real, is this real?
Whenever you′re around, I can′t fight it You get under my skin the way that I like it And I can′t take anymore Tell me what you want from me or leave me alone ′Cause I′m all caught up and I′m losing control
I′m tired of holding on so tight When you won′t let me understand Now I′m falling apart I never meant to lose myself
Say you will or say you won′t Open your heart to me Now or never, tell the truth Is this real, is this real Say you will or say you won′t Open your heart to me Now or never, tell the truth Is this real, is this real?
Like drops of rain against my heart Cut through like silver And I want to make you feel that way And I want to make you feel the way that I do
Say you will or say you won′t Open your heart to me Now or never, tell the truth Is this real? Say you will or say you won′t Open your heart to me Now or never, tell the truth Is this real, is this real?
Now I will tell you what I′ve done for you - 50 thousand tears I′ve cried. Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you - And you still won′t hear me. (going under) Don′t want your hand this time - I′ll save myself. Maybe I′ll wake up for once (wake up for once) Not tormented daily defeated by you Just when I thought I′d reached the bottom
I′m dying again
I′m going under (going under) Drowning in you (drowning in you) I′m falling forever (falling forever) I′ve got to break through I′m going under
Blurring and stirring - the truth and the lies. (So I don′t know what′s real) So I don′t know what′s real and what′s not (and what′s not) Always confusing the thoughts in my head So I can′t trust myself anymore
I′m dying again
I′m going under (going under) Drowning in you (drowning in you) I′m falling forever (falling forever) I′ve got to break through
I′m...
So go on and scream Scream at me I′m so far away (so far away) I won′t be broken again (again) I′ve got to breathe - I can′t keep going under
I′m dying again
I′m going under (going under) Drowning in you (drowning in you) I′m falling forever (falling forever) I′ve got to break through
I′m going under (going under) I′m going under (drowning in you) I′m going under
Lithium, don′t want to lock me up inside. Lithium, don′t want to forget how it feels without... Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow. Oh, but God, I want to let it go.
Come to bed, don′t make me sleep alone. Couldn′t hide the emptiness, you let it show. Never wanted it to be so cold. Just didn′t drink enough to say you love me.
I can′t hold on to me, Wonder what′s wrong with me.
Lithium, don′t want to lock me up inside. Lithium, don′t want to forget how it feels without... Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.
Don′t want to let it lay me down this time. Drown my will to fly. Here in the darkness I know myself. Can′t break free until I let it go. Let me go.
Darling, I forgive you after all.
Anything is better than to be alone. And in the end I guess I had to fall. Always find my place among the ashes.
I can′t hold on to me, Wonder what′s wrong with me.
Lithium, don′t want to lock me up inside. Lithium, don′t want to forget how it feels without... Lithium, ...stay in love with my sorrow. I′m gonna let it go
I′m tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface I don′t know what you′re expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Every step take I take is Another mistake to you
CHORUS I′ve become so numb I can′t feel you there Become so tired So much more aware I′m becoming this All I want to do Is be more like me And be less like you
Can′t you see that you′re smothering me? Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control ′Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you
Every step that I take is Another mistake to you And every second I waste Is more than I can take
REPEAT CHORUS
But I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me With someone disappointed in you
I′m so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave ′Cause your presence still lingers here And it won′t leave me alone
These wounds won′t seem to heal This pain is just too real There′s just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I′d wipe away all of your tears When you′d scream I′d fight away all of your fears I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me
You used to captivate me By your resonating life Now I′m bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me
These wounds won′t seem to heal This pain is just too real There′s just too much that time cannot erase
I′ve tried so hard to tell myself that you′re gone But though you′re still with me I′ve been alone all along
how can you see into my eyes like open doors leading you down into my core where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I can’t wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me) call my name and save me from the dark (Wake me up) bid my blood to run (I can’t wake up) before I come undone (Save me) save me from the nothing I’ve become
now that I know what I’m without you can′t just leave me breathe into me and make me real bring me to life
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I can’t wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me) call my name and save me from the dark (Wake me up) bid my blood to run (I can’t wake up) before I come undone (Save me) save me from the nothing I’ve become
Bring me to life (I′ve been living a lie, there′s nothing inside) Bring me to life
frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are alive among the dead
all this time I can′t believe I couldn′t see kept in the dark but you were there in front of me I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems got to open my eyes to everything without a thought without a voice without a soul don′t let me die here there must be something more bring me to life
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I can’t wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me) call my name and save me from the dark (Wake me up) bid my blood to run (I can’t wake up) before I come undone (Save me) save me from the nothing I’ve become
(Bring me to life) I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside (Bring me to life)
When night time comes And I′m ten thousand miles away Just lose yourself And watch the band kick back and play
Get up--keep in line It′s gettin′ tighter all the time You say you′re feelin′ fine It′s gettin′ tighter all the time
Get a load off your mind This place is right It′s hard to find The mood is set alright It′s gonna be a long long night You keep spinnin′ ′round You find it hard to touch the ground And time is all it takes You′ll find it easy once you make
Get up--keep in line It′s gettin′ tighter all the time Gettin′ tighter Gettin′ tighter
she walked into the room her hand upon her hip said look out boy i′ll make your backbone slip she looked straight at me the devil in her eye i knew what i was getting but took it by surprise no fooling she really knocked the stuffing out of me some woman a hard lovin′ woman she chewed me up and spat me out
some woman she′s a hard lovin′ woman some woman a hard lovin′ woman
she didn′t wear nothing but a smile upon her face licking her lips but i had the taste her temperature was rising i was coming to the boil her fires were burning she was pouring on the oil i do not jest she really took me to the cleaners some woman i felt just great when she pulled her 38′s
it started with a smile it turned into a laugh it ended with a scream i said enough′s enough never heard a word she wouldn′t let go a man′s a man and every woman ought to know and there i was and she was dancing some woman here we go again
You stare into the room, nothing there but space No sign of any message gone without a trace But I don′t want your pity, if that′s what you think I′ll take my comfort from this hole I′m sinking in Waste my time, drink my wine, take my money That′s alright, I don′t mind but don′t try to be funny
Don′t make me good Don′t make me mad Don′t make me fly Don′t make me happy
It′s nice here in this room, you would like it, yes you would It′s got a bed, two chairs and a table, I′d leave here if I could There′s a man standing up who′s down on his knees Outside the cold wind sends a shiver through the trees On the line, left behind, under pressure It′s so bad, leave me be, I don′t want to get better
Don′t make me good Don′t make me mad Don′t make me fly Don′t make me happy
I don′t care what you think but think about this It could have been somebody else, beware of what you wish Now the door is closed, locked and sealed And now you think you know how rejection feels Waste my time, drink my wine, take my money That′s alright, I don′t mind but don′t try to be funny
Don′t make me good Don′t make me mad Don′t make me fly Don′t make me happy
Cold beer and a strange cigarette Getting you high getting you wet Falling in love falling out of debt Straight gay black or white Strutting in the dark hiding in the light Doing it wrong doing it right just doing it
You got your life on the one hand Mine in the other I got the right we all got the right
One man′s meat is the other man′s lousy luck One man′s meat is someone′s empty well One man′s meat is some guy′s aching butt One man′s meat is another man′s living hell
Short fat thick or thin Take it in the gut take it on the chin Living in glory living in sin Hard day′s work going down slow Riding the road where the greengrass grows Watching in die what d′you know Watch it
You got your life on the one hand Mine in the other I got the right
One man′s meat is the other man′s lousy luck One man′s meat is someone′s empty well One man′s meat is some guy′s aching butt One man′s meat is another man′s living hell
Flying through the night in a beat up wagon A mike stand up my jacksy Give me a beer and I′ll stand on a chair And slip into something sexy Black Cat Woolwich, The Tiger′s Head The Cafe des Artistes, The Revolution and the Bag O′ Nails
I′ll see you down the Speak′ Your Ma said you slept real good in your food last nigth But you couldn′t hold it down And you broke up a damn good fight Ligging at the Old Marquee, spinning Jack a line Even he knew better than me, back in sixty nine
Sixty nine, sixty nine Sixty nine, sixty nine
On the road to Paradiso Back of your head, got to pay some dues Rugged looked down as the Thames swallowed His life at the Boathouse, Kew Hot girls, no AC, cheap TV, sleep on the floor Hallelujah what′s a roadie, hush my baby sleep no more
Going to rosa′s cantina Going to rosa′s cantina Hoping that she′s still there Going to rosa′s cantina
Might have been The dust in my eyes The dust in my eyes
Could have been the neon cactus Lighting up the desert sky Must have been The dust in my eyes
Some would call it suicide Some would call it suicide I would call it paradise Some would call it suicide
Dancing on the table Dancing on the table Dancing on the table When she′s Drunker than she′s able Dancing on the table
Some would call it suicide I would call it paradise Some would call it suicide Hell on earth
Is she right is she wrong Will she sing another song Wicked as it seems Right now
Rosa wants her baby back Rosa wants her baby back Since he′s gone she′s losing track Rosa wants her baby back Careful with that cadillac Careful with that cadillac Careful with that cadillac
If I work hard every day For my money If I work my finger down to the bone That ain′t funny Now if I see Something I can′t buy I put a dollar down Then I try try try To get my money I need my money A woman who ain′t got a dime I can′t use her no If she ain′t got no cash money I′ve got to refuse her I need a woman With a whole lotta will So she help me, baby Help me pay my bill I need my money I′ve got to have money
I need lovin′ to give me a livin′ So don′t ask me I don′t need forgivin′ I will stand up to count the cost But I know I won′t stand the loss
I need a woman With a whole lotta will She can help me pay my bill I need my money I want my money Before I say my prayers I count my money When I wake up It has to be there My money You see, love--it don′t mean a thing When she loves you She can′t bring, can′t bring you no money I′ve got to have my money
My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle But I learned how to roll along My papa said "son, gotta git some fun, Cos when your old it ain′t too good on your own" Been so long since you heard my song Gonna pick up my guitar and play Felt so bad when I had to leave you But I knew that I′d be back some day
So I′m comin′ home To give you more than you bargained for Comin′ home No mistake I′m gonna shiver ′n′ shake Comin′ home Gonna rock ′n′ roll an′ give you my soul Comin′ home I got over the pain I′m comin′ home again
Groovin′ to American Bandstand B.B. onstage with ′Lucille′ The thrill is gone but it won′t be for long Cos you know I like to play how you feel Now that we′re back together Gonna shiver ′n′ shake all night I just gotta say the music I play Will sure enough make you feel alright
Tho I learned how to rock in the cradle An′ rollin′ came so easy to me All the years I travelled the world Made it so clear to see It′s been so long since you heard my song Gonna pick up my guitar ′n′ play Felt so bad when I had to leave you But I knew that I′d be back some day
Comin′ home To give you more than you bargained for Comin′ home No mistake I′m gonna shiver and shake Comin′ home Gonna rock ′n′ roll and give you my soul Comin′ home I got over the pain I′m comin′ home again Comin′ home Shiver ′n′ shakin′ anticpatin′ Comin′ home The thrill is gone but it won′t be for long
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!"
Sometimes I sit and wonder Sometimes I just sit I hope you all know What you′re doing Anyway Who is driving this thing
Did you know The warriors of the flat earth Have become the tyrants of the globe It′s round about that time again She cried It′s all for one my friends
All my dreams are forgotten When you leave me On the shelf I can think of nothing better Than to sit here by myself
Least remembered Soon forgotten Didn′t matter anyway How can I ever miss you If you never go away
I′m amazed by the way How are you I′m amazed how could you It wasn′t that good to start with Anyway Nothings quite that simple
Did you know The warriors of the flat earth Have become the tyrants of the globe It′s round about that time again She cried It′s all for one my friends
Least remembered Soon forgotten Didn′t matter anyway How can I ever miss you If you never go away
Sometimes I sit and wonder Sometimes I just sit I hope you all know What you′re doing Anyway Who is driving this thing
Least remembered Soon forgotten Didn′t matter anyway How can I ever miss you If you never go away
She came home last night rotten rolling drunk She talk no sense but she sound good so she think So I reached over and said Hello Is there some planet you′d care to go And she said Venus on the rocks
She got a mean streak Black Mamba don′t compete She got a mean streak Temptation bitter sweet
She drives me crazy gets inside my brain She spend my money down a drain So I roll over for my reward How much can I afford And she says Just a little more
I can′t take this no more I tried so hard but I can′t get thru′ the door Because one smile from those eyes And I stand there paralyzed And she says Beg for more get down sucka you know what I like oh hang on
She was a juke-box dancer A blue eyed gypsy queen She always had an answer For what she′d done And where she′d been A feathercane Lady Midnight For all around to see She spoke with words of wisdom And this is what she said to me
Lady luck C′mon give me what I want Pull me up Lady luck If I see you again I will call you my friend
I have always been a sinner But then the lady came along She stole my heart and turned me ′round ′Till I didn′t know right from wrong She whispered words of kindness I′d never ever heard before Golden words and silver tongue Till I really couldn′t take no more
Lady luck C′mon give me what I want Pull me up Lady luck If I see you again I will call you my friend C′mon shake me
Riding on the moonpath In the silver of the night The fragrance on the air Was of another time I cried in all my innocence You were dressed in white And even if I′d had the strength I couldn′t move to save my life
The fear and the thrill Of the beast at the window The shivers and the chills On the hottest of nights He walked right through My open door As I began to run, he threw Some gold upon the floor, and said There′s plenty more Where that came from
I′m tired of the bombs I′m tired of the bullets I′m tired of the crazies on tv I′m the aviator A dream′s a dream whatever it seems
I flew along the lighted street I flew above the town I flew in ever rising cicrcles Ever further from the ground As I begin to lose my breath Printed faxes turn a spin A distant corner of the room Will open up and let me in
I′m tired of the news I′m tired of the weather I′m tired of the same thing every day I′m the aviator A dream′s a dream whatever they say
The world around us hangs in doubt You face a crime that we′ll hear about To pay the cost would never be the same Eternal lovers we′re not to blame There′s no mistake there′s no refrain The same surroundings that stood Are here again this time
As I look around you can′t be found To lose you I′d rather see The endless time of space go passing by This time around This time around So look around we all will be found In love
The world around us hangs in doubt You face a crime that we′ll hear about To pay the cost would never be the same Eternal lover you′re not to blame There′s no mistake there′s no refrain The same surroundings that stood Are here again this time
As I look around you can′t be found To lose you I′d rather see The endless time of space go passing by This time around This time around To lose you I′d rather see The endless time of space go passing by Fly By

I got my feelers out Pleasure I can give you pain I′m the demon of misfortune Let me tell you that bad luck is my game
Fires burning make you cold You can touch but you can′t hold It′s an even split Between zip and the number on your ticket Nothing to brag about dragging in the dirt I′m a nasty piece of work
Down get down on your knees Running gonna bring you down I′m the demon of disorder You know I′m gonna drive you into the ground
As you′re stepping through the door My shadow crawls across your floor Your dream of love It′s not enough it′s gonna come to nothing You ain′t seen nothing it′s gonna get worse I′m a nasty nasty
It′s an even split Between zip and the number on your ticket Your dream of love It′s not enough it′s gonna come to nothing Nothing to brag about dragging in the dirt You ain′t seen nothing it′s gonna get worse I′m a nasty piece of work
Woke up this morning, rain coming down Washing the sin from the street Sometimes I feel like I′m losing ground Just trying to make ends meet Well I work every day to sweat out my dreams Won′t you show me that you understand It′s only my life, whatever that means And you′ve got it all in your hands
(chrous) I need someone to pull me through Won′t you take the pain from my head Give me all your loving, the way you always do Give me breakfast in bed
I feel like the good days are numbered And my nights are getting too long My hopes and my fears take their toll on the years And my willpower′s almost gone Well it′s a time full of trouble A time of desperate need Sometimes life don′t make sense Fighting the anger, jealousy and greed One day I′ll look back and wonder where it all went
(repeat chorus)
It don′t take much to please me I′m just a simple man Won′t you please believe me I gotta tell you it don′t take much - a tender touch So baby do the best that you can
Talking real world, all that pain Try to fix it still comes out the same Get down to Rosie′s Won′t you pull that plug Last week Someone made a mess of that rug
Talking big house way up town One day one day I′ll put the money down All that baby talk it′s for the birds Let′s make some honey Honey in so many words
Oh no Don′t want a serious conversation I just want to get you serious Serious I want to talk about love
You talk about the weather Rain or snow Talking cold wind The way it′s going to blow Talking good times night and day Talk talk a stronger man Could lose his way
Aphrodite now there′s a girl Good good loving She spreads around the world Forget your dancing all that boogaloo Drag that purse over here I got to talk to you
Oh no Don′t want a serious conversation I just want to get you serious Serious I want to talk about love
take a look at these dirty hands take a look at this face these blazing eyes do you see me as a broken man tell me are you really that blind

you got me locked in a paper cage you think i′m chained up but i′m just tied down step aside get out of my way i won′t hurt you i had enough being pushed around
you got yourself a load of trouble now you got yourself a bad deal you say i′ve got a bad attitude how d′you think i feel
