Amos Lee 2집 - Supply And Demand (2006) by Amos Lee (보컬) on maniadb.com

A thousand empty window
And only half the lights are out
I wonder what these people's lives
What they might be all about

Do they got a lover
And could they have a family
Could it be their just as lonesome
As you and me

I wanna shout out
Shout out loud
Why don't you all
Just come on out
And we can
Tear it all down, yeah

White lights burning
Down an empty avenue
I wonder if their driver
Found someone he can go on home to

I wanna shout out
Shout out loud
Why don't you all
Just come on out
And we can
Tear it all down, yeah

Cause everybody's got a part in the game
And everybody's got a cross they can claim
And everybody's got somebody to blame
But we all must find our own way, yeah yeah

I wanna shout out
Shout out loud
I wanna shout out
Shout out loud
I wanns shout out
Shout out loud

Shout out loud, yeah, yeah
Shout out loud, yeah, yeah

Shout out loud
Shout out loud
Shout out loud

It aint no jive
I was burning alive
Whenever you walk in the room
It happened so quickly
I was feeling so sickly
Like the lover who lost his own muse

The sharks in the tank or
The men in the bank
He wants my money to loan
I can’t understand
What the hell is his plan
While he aint even got a home
Aint got a home

Girl on a street
With holes in her feet
Looks through the eyes of a cloud
She don’t look amazed
She’s feeling kind of sad
So I just walk around

I reassess, she’s down on her luck
She’s reading a book full of lies
I don’t know when ill be coming home baby
But I sure sympathize

Can sympathize
Can sympathize

Angels spread their wings
On all the dirty things
But you
Do

She drops to the floor
Her head’s by the door
Her bible is by her side
Heaven is calling
The new world is falling
And she aint got a single person left

To confide
No one to confide
No one to confide
Ah to confide

I sympathize
Can Sympathize

Don't wanna be a martyr in this war
Don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
That everything's a threat
And it's only gonna get worse if we let it

Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got
Don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not
Though the politician and the priest
Live in the belly of the beast because we fed it

Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now, yeah

Now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel
Somebody busted up into your house telling you to stay still
While the leaders will deny defeat
Innocents they testify by dying in the street

Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now

Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now

You speak of love
But you ain't no lover
You were a friend
More like a brother

As the miles pass beneath me
The sounds made so sweetly came to an end
And no man can deny her but now you're a liar
And you've no room left to defend

When I left
I should have known better
Of the kind of man that you are
You'd have to get her

And I know you got a lot of pain
That's born inside you
But instead of growing stronger
You let it divide you, oh

How could you be so careless
How could you be so careless

And the waves that are crashing
True lives of passion washing on your shore
Yes Sir, life has been costing
A true love's been lost
And I can't get back anymore

And I'm sure
That we both still both love her
And it's a shame we both lost her
And in time lost each other

But a trust has been broken
And words have been spoken
But you can mend
And no man can deny her
And as you laid beside her
I hope it felt good my friend

How could you be so careless
How could you be so careless
How could you be so careless with her heart

I don't know
if I can do this
alone
Oh after all our
sweet love is flown
I've been a running
I've been skipping like a stone
And I don't know if I
I can do this
all alone
When I met her
she was standing by a door
I ain't never
seen a light like that before
Now she's left me
for something more sure
And I don't know if I
I can do this
anymore

'Cause lovers will come
lovers will go
This rare seed are
from which true love might grow
If you see her won't
you please
say hello
'Cause I don't know
I can do this
alone

sweet pea
apple of my eye

and i don't know why
your the only reason
i keep on commin home
sweet pea
what's all this about

your the only reason
i keep on commin home

I've been working on a night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home

Well in a little country station
Somewhere out in the midwest
I see the people out there waiting
Heart beating in my chest

And I'm thinking about a woman
Who I would put no one above
I'm not looking to replace her
Just need someone to love

Well I'm out here on my night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home

And I'm living in the city
Where the noise, it never stops
How much pounding on the pavement
Whizzes from traffic cops

Nobody looks you in the eye here
Walking around with clinched fists
I've been searching for a simple place
Don't know if it exists

There's a sunrise out there calling my name
I can see her moving, I can see her moving

Well at a certain time of night, now
I'll become one with the wind
Where there isn't a beginning
And there is no end

Oh when everything is flowing
Everything is on time
And I know that we're all going
To the end of the line

Well I'm out here on my night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home

Well I'm out here on my night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train

Trying to get us safely home
Trying to get us safely home
Trying to get us safely home

Farewell my sweet
Well the time that was coming
The road has begun to move beneath my feet
Good things come to an end
Well I hope through the pain
The heartache and strain we can still remain friends

Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern girl

You're a soft melody
Well I swear that I heard

From a lost mockingbird stuck up in a tree
We got a lot going on
Even though I'm not here
Please don't shed any tears for me day when I'm gone

Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern girl

I never meant to leave you lonely
It was only in your mind
Girl, I never meant to leave you lonely
It was only a matter of time

Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight

In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern
Something about a southern girl

Saturday night and my head is spinning
I wonder whose heart I've been sinning for
A cold rain blows on my window
A soft scent gone from my pillow

One more step that I've been takin'
Yes and one more heart
I don't need no more breakin' of
The red lights how they all
Burnin' down the highway
I remember when the wind had blown my way

But the wind blew down my line
Yeah the wind blew down my line

The man on the street
Each day I'm passin'
A small bite to eat
Is all he's been askin' for
Cold stares is all he's been yielding
Oh and now I know that empty feeling

Yeah the wind blew down my line
Yeah the wind blew down my line
Yeah the wind blew down my line

I come from a long line of pain
My family suffered greatly for my gain
And I think a lot about
How my daddy died
So I would not live without

And his heart lives in my song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home

Now my mamma's on her own
I try to call her and see her when I'm home
And after all that she's been through
All the doctors say: "There ain't nothing we can do"

And her heart lives in my song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home

There's a bird outside my window
Takes the song where he goes
And he leaves it there
Like a dead man's rocking chair

And tonight I'm feeling lost and
Headin' down the highway out to Boston
I get the sense I might lose it
I thank God tonight for the light I got in music

'Cause my heart lives in this song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly, the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home

Well my woman, she showed up
With your number on her hand
Well I thought that I might call you up
So we could deal with this man to man

You better tell me the truth son, yeah

Well he showed up down at the ballroom
Walking slow and acting strong
Well I said my friend I'll give you one last chance
To admit that you done me wrong

You better tell me the truth son, yeah
You better tell me the truth son, yeah

Now they got me here in the county
With his blood still on my face
Well the boys in blue they don't play no game
All the sheriff said to me was this...

You better tell me the truth, son
I'ma beat it out of you
You better tell me the truth, son
I'ma beat it out of you

Now they got me here in the lockdown
For a crime I did commit
Well for my last call
I called the number on my girl's hand
To remind you not to forget

You should'a told me the truth, son
Make me beat it out of you
You should'a told me the truth, son
Make me beat it out of you
You should'a tole me the truth, son
Oh...

Make me beat it outta you
Make me beat it outta you
Make me beat it
Make me beat it
Make me beat it
Make me beat it out of you
