4 Non Blondes

Starry night bring me down
'Til I realize the moon
It seems so distant yet I felt it pass
Right through
So I see what I see
A new world is over me
So I'll reach up to the sky
And pretend that I'm a
Spaceman, in another place and time
I guess I'm lookin' for a brand new
Place, is there a better life for me
Subtle wind blow me gone
Let me rest upon your move
I trust I'll end up sleeping
Cradled in my doom
So I feel what I feel
I can't grasp what is not real
So I'll get myself real high
And imagine I'm a
Spaceman, in another place and time
I guess I'm lookin' for a brand new
Place, is there a better life for me
I remember in my mind
They say I'm a daydreamin'
Is it all that It seems
Or am I all the things I'm looking for, yea
So I see what I see, A new world is over me
And I'll reach up to the sky
And pretend that I'm a spaceman
In another place and time
I guess I'm lookin' for a brand new place
I remember living in a different life
Is there a better life for me

Stumbled my way on the darkest afternoon
I got a beer in my hand
And I'm draggin' a stoogie too
The back of my brain is tickin' like a clock
I simmer down gently but boil on what the fuck
Get back 'cause I'm feelin' good tonight
Get back 'cause I'm feeling right
Trouble is a word that starts with a capital T
I refer myself to the word 'cause I'm so keen
Little do they know that I'm struttin' such a style
It makes the trouble in me all worth the while
So get back 'cause I'm feelin' good tonight
Get back 'cause I'm feelin' right
There goes Billy and Susie walkin' hand 'n hand
I quickly caught up slurring yo what's the plan
They had fear in their eyes and bellies that ran like dogs
I barrelled down laughing screaming Susie
You forgot your clogs
Well, Old Mr. Heffer
I'm really pleased to meet you
I didn't mean to scare your blue-eyed-child
But billy wouldn't talk to me
And Susie wouldn't look at me
It made me so doggone crazy
I had to chase them for a mile
All I wanted was change for a buck
Well I'm back and I'm feelin' good tonight
Yea I'm back and I'm feelin' right
So get back 'cause I'm feelin' good tonight
Get back 'cause I'm feelin' right
Jesus

How can you tell
when your wellness is not well
make no mistakes now
please do excuse
my itchy attitude
I'm feelin' righteous
why, why are we always asking why
to lamely try to justify
for what it is a lack of drive
Calling all the people
have you nothin' brewin'
time to flap your big fat mouth
let's rap how we be doin'
say might what you say
that's really all it takes to break through
Where is it at
when your moral is a hat
full of money
can you explain
why the messy kitchen sink
is so confusing
why, why are we always asking why
to lamely try to justify
for what it is a lack of drive
Calling all the people
have you nothin' brewin'
time to flap your big fat mouth
let's rap how we be doin'
say might what you say
that's really all it takes
calling all the people
have you nothin' brewin'
time to flap your big fat mouth
let's rap how we be doin'
say might what you say
that's really all it takes to break through
calling all the people

I'm looking outside of my windows
The view that I see
Is a child and mama
And the child is begging for money
Tell me why, tell me why
The woman is blind is she so broke
The kid's dealing crime
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is it burning down
I go to my room to turn on the T.V
I sit myself down
And I start laughing hard
'Cause this man he's asking for money
He sats "if you send me lots of cash I'll send you
Stuff to make you rich fast"
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S of A.
One day I'm going to have lots of money
But I'll have to give up
For this rich society
Oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future
'Cause you'll just get it back
From the little blind woman
With the kid on the corner
And the people all over, doin' crack
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S of A.
I'm walking outside on a sunny day
With no one around
And I wonder what's wrong
The I hear this loud piercing siren
Oh my God the bomb has just dropped
And everybody climbed right on top
Screaming, what a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S of A

When I wake up in my house
I get dressed then I get lost
I don't know which way to go
I guess I'll have a cup of Joe
Where the hell was I anyways
So I end up on the street
Walkin' talkin' to my own beat
In a fog, in a haze
I've been trippin' out for days
Can you help me find my way home
1-2-3
Don't rock teh boat now, just let it slide
Groovy people walking back and forth, that's right
So I hop on to this bus
Destination reads please save us
Not a soul that I know
To be found in this dark hole
Can you help me find my way home
Can you help me find my way home
I'm so tired of looking for the door
Please help me find my way
Please help me find my way
I can't find the door
Where am I now, where am I now
I find myself just out there floating

Fried my brain before my time.
Looked around at all the beautiful people.
And then my arm turned red...
And all I saw was my blood just rush away.
Hid the needle with a smiling face.
Going down just to find my mind...
To lose it in a pile of waste.

Went on down to a merry-go-round.
Chased myself into a vertical hideaway.
And then I fell to the ground.
Someone, please, please,
Take me back to Mary's house...
To push it with a needle again
Don't tell my momma...
She was my only friend

Let me out...
I want out of here.
I refuse to break my hands again.
My best friend is an emergency.
And its Mary's fault..
That's what she said.

Plenty of nights of knotting pain.
Take a drink and help me anyone.
Oh I have lost all shame.
Was it fun?
Who will take me back to Mary's house?
To push it with a needle again.
Don't tell my momma..
She wouldn't understand.

Let me out...
I want out of here.
I refuse to break my hands again.
My best friend is an emergency.
And its Mary's fault...
That's what she said.

I am Mary's house.
I beg you to stay.
I am Mary's house.
I beg you to stay.
I am Mary's house.
I beg you to stay.
