Today I went and bought myself a bottle Like we used to do Reminded me of you Today I saw a train roll by the river Blowing off the steam Reminded me of me
That's when I threw the bottle in the river That's when I started running for the train There's nothing that you need I can't deliver Carry me away Carry me away
Make it seven-oh-nine California time Whoever said it was a small world was either a liar Or a fool 'Cause it's not true And any promise we make is as easy to break As the plastic people on your wedding cake So says you But you know, I do
I hear you thinking From far away If you keep on lying and crying and trying and drinking I'm gonna carry me away Carry me away
If you think about me From far away I hope you find it with me or without me Carry me away Carry me away Carry me away Carry me away Carry me away Carry me away.
The Little Conversation Is Over Very Soon And I watch in admiration From my corner of the room. They shine on you with starry eyes... They rain a friendly storm. Like kids around a Christmas tree And then you smile all nice and warm
The Little Conversations If I tried my very best you know I never could say anything In twenty words or less. Somewhere, sometime, down the line someday I may confess, and tell you all, that's all
The Little Conversations On me are very rough They leave me all in pieces You know there's never time enough like a book with missing pages like a story incomplete like a painting left unfinished it feels like not enough to eat. Starvin'
these little conversations well for me they'll never do now what am I supposed to do with broken sentences of you? i'll stay in my corner 'cause that's all that i can do and let the others speak for me. Little Conversations Are We.
Well, outside in the hall there's a catfight It's well after midnight I guess I'll be allright I'm laid out on the floor Drunk and ppor How much longer how much more
Rock me to sleep Strong & deep. The screaming cats they give me the creep But aside from all that I feel no pain Staring up at the ceiling stains ...Neon in the window ...Sirens far away ...News on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday
They're at it again next door This whole floor I swear They're out to drive me crazy Not right now I'm high as a cloud I'm soft and gray and lazy ..Smoking Out the window, ...feeling far away ...News on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday
Fly me out the window. Somewhere far away News on the radio, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday.
My eyes are jaded and complicated, tired of the liars and the masqueraded Who steals our innocence away, like a thief in the night? Who took away our faith in what we know to be right? That was another world, then that was another time You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime.
Whatever became of the child I was I never want to lose her no I won't give her up and now my heart is harder, my skin is getting tougher and tougher That was another world then That was another time You can never go back to the place where love is blind You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime
Whatever became of our sweet blind love As long as we could be together it was more than enough Now we're all grown up and we need so much I never knew that the price would go up as such That was another world then, then That was another time
Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind. Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind. Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind. You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime.
part the dark and chase it gone you're the sweet and sunny one as bright as any star tonight. You smile like a beam of light you can show me a ray show me a ray show me a ray show me a ray of Sun. Just until the morning comes I'm the gray and cloudy one Raining for so long, so long Like a candle blowing in a storm but you can Show me a ray Show me a ray Show me a ray Show me a ray of Sun.
Maybe it's just a phase The days and the nights And the nights and days Of all the tossing and turning And churning and burning Inside my brain Or maybe I'm finally insane But I don't know what I believe anymore It's like I'm caught in some revolving door Going over and over And over and over and
Teach me how to pray Tell me what to say Help me Help me Help me find my way
I never could play their game You know that all your faces look the same And I won't give up Won't give in You know I never want to be like them Well, I'm ticking away like time You know I'm out of sync And I'm out of my mind You know I used to know a truth from a lie Just by looking in their eyes
Carry me away Further and further And further every day Help me Help me Help me find my way
I'm hanging by a thread And the waves of confusion Break down on my head And when I think of all the things you said Well, the words fall dead
Higher every day A price I swore I'd never pay Help me Help me Help me find my way Help me find my way.
You go crazy You get tossed You go running around Until you know you're gonna fall off He knows what you need he, knows how much, how much you want
Knock familiar, Welcome in, Can't believe that you let him introduce you as a friend. But you're always polite in case you need him again No not again, No not again.
Can't believe the way I see you Run, Run, Run, Can't believe the way you bleed when you Run, Run, Run, Are you having fun? Run-
Hands are shaking. Lips are cracked You swore (I heard you swear) that you were Never coming back, but... one more time. Just one more night and once again, you lost the fight fight So fight a little harder now.
Can't believe the way you bleed when you Run, Run, Run Can't believe the way you need to Run, Run, Run Are you still as young as you started When you started to run?
Can't believe the way I see you Run, Run, Run, Can't believe the way you bleed when you Run, Run, Run, Are you having fun? Run, Run, Run, 'till you drop.
There's a green plaid jacket on the back of the chair It's like a moment frozen forever there Mom and Dad had a lot of big plans for their little man So proud Mama's gone crazy 'cause her baby's cut down By some teenage car chase, war out of bounds It was the wrong place, wrong time, wrong end of a gun Sad
(Shoot) Shoot straight (Shoot) From the hip, ya'll (Shoot) Gone forever in a trigger slip Well, it could have been It could have been your brother (Shoot) Shoot straight (Shoot) Shoot to kill, yeah Blame each other, well, blame yourself You know, God is a bullet Have mercy on us everyone
They're gonna call me sir, they'll all stop picking on me Well, I'm a high school grad, I'm over five-foot-three I'll get a badge and a gun and I'll join the P.D. They'll see He didn't have to use the gun they put in his hand But when the guy came at him, well, he panicked and ran And it's a thirty long years 'fore they'll give him another chance And it's sad, sad, yes, sad
(Shoot) Shoot straight (Shoot) From the hip, ya'll (Shoot) It's all gone in a trigger slip Well, it could have been It could have been your mother (Shoot) Shoot straight (Shoot) Shoot to kill, ya'll Blame each other, blame yourself You know, God is a bullet Have mercy on us everyone

Chorus: It's a man's, man's, man's, man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Without a woman or a girl Man made the cars To take us over the road Man made the trains To carry his manmade load Man has made everything That he possibly can He's busy making money To buy from other men Chorus Man made the electric light To take us out of the dark Man made the boats on the water They say Noah made the Ark You man have made everything That you possibly can You're so busy making money To buy from other men Chorus Lost Well, he's lost In his wilderness Well, he's lost Lost in his bitterness Chorus Man said he love the little bitty baby girls And the little bitty baby boys Tries so hard to make them happy With his manmade toys Man's making everything That he possibly can Busy making his almighty money To buy from other men Chorus
When you turned out the light And walked out the door I said to myself What did I come here for?
Did you have a good time Drinking whiskey and ryhme And did you want to be Bonnie and clyde?
What goes on in your mind, What goes on in your head? Who did you think I would be Ha, well you got me instead.
You think there's some connection That I'm your female reflection But no...
I can be loyal And (a) I can be true But that's for somebody else
And it will never be you.
You think we're predetermined But babe you're learning Way to slow...
But it seems such a long time ago.
[er, something that sounds like "go, fishman" right before the solo]
(oh...) he can see things You'll never know how to see. He's three times the man You'll never know how to be. I'll do anything he wants And I'll go anywhere He wants me to go.
And if that isn't love Then I guess I'll just never know.

Say it's been too hard Say it's been too long You say it's all too much The thrill has long been gone Well I thought you could Yes I thought you could And you thought you could too

Why Don't You See Me? By Concrete Blonde (J. Napolitano) When you lay down, Do you hear sounds? Does the silence have a voice? What does it say? What do you hear? What does it whisper in your ear? Why don't you hear me? Why don't you hear me? When you get up, into the light, When you come up out of your night, What do you see? And do you see? Or have you lost your sense of sight? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? What do you think? What do you feel? 'Cause this is feeling very real. And if you feel, Why can't you say? Give me a little demonstration. Can't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Are you in love? Are you in pain? Are they together and the same? Where do you go? Who do you know? Are you that lonely ghost on the side? Why don't you see me? Why don't you free me? Why don't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Why can't you hear me? Why can't you hear me? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me?
It is complete, now Two ends of time are neatly tied A one-way street She's walking to end of the line And there she meets The faces she keeps in her heart and mind
They say, "Goodbye" Tomorrow, Wendy you’re going to die Tomorrow, Wendy you’re going to die
Underneath the chilly gray November sky We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive And we're shooting for the moon And smiling Jack is driving by
And they say, "Good try" Tomorrow, Wendy you’re going to die Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
I told the priest Don't count on any second coming God got his ass kicked The first time he came down here slumming He had the balls to come The gall to die and then forgive us No, I don't wonder why I wonder what he thought it would get us Hey, hey, goodbye Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
Hey, hey, good bye Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
Only God says, "Jump" So I set the time 'Cause if he ever saw her It was through these eyes of mine And if he ever suffered It was me who did his crying
Hey, hey, goodbye Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die (Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die) Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die (Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die) Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
Hey, hey, goodbye Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
Hey, hey, goodbye Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
I go on a date with you Get me to the party before it's too late So I can watch all the evil in the room Get up and dance while he's still fresh
And he's still all in love with his first steady If not, let me know Cause I'd rather stay home than go
Shadows, windows Sorrow like an undertow Clotheslines, telephone lines
It's a matter of time before they find me I'm waiting for a sign from one of my kind I'm waiting for the time to fall behind me I'm waiting for a sign from one of my kind
Get on the plane A star in the sky Down and living and dying inside Slipping on the wire and jumping off the ledge I feel like dancing out over the edge
Weeping willow Weeping on my pillow Headlines, deadlines
Wine, dine, do a line Nickel and dime me I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind I'm waiting for the time to fall behind me I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind
Oh, no ? Soon we flew from our cocoon We go slow
I'm wondering how long until they find me I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind It's a matter of time until they find me I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind Waiting for a sign from one of my kind Waiting for a sign from one of my kind Waiting for a sign from one of my kind Waiting for a sign from one of my kind
