Mr. Big

I've been staring at this photograph
It used to make me laugh - I believed
That you would always live forever
Nothing's been the same since you've been gone
It's hard to carry on - all I see
Is misery and cloudy weather
Sometimes I think I see your face in the crowd

It's too late for saying I love you
It's too late for saying goodbye
The memories keep repeating, I'm losing my mind
I'd give anything just to hold you, it's so hard to let you go
All the way up, all the way up to heaven

Now I wake up with your voice in my head
All the things you said - keep on playing
Spinning like a broken record
And will this ever get easier
I can't go on like this anymore
I thought we'd alaways be together
It makes me wonder what it's all about

It's too late for saying I love you
It's too late for saying goodbye
The memories keep repeating, I'm losing my mind
I'd give anything just to hold you, it's so hard to let you go
All the way up, all the way up to heaven

And the times you made me smile
And the things you got me through
I never thought that they would take you
Away from me so soon
I've run out of tears to cry
And my heart is on the mend
But I think it's gonna be awhile
'Til I can feel again

Sometimes I think I see your face in the crowd
It's too late for saying I love you
It's too late for saying goodbye
The memories keep repeating, I'm losing my mind
I'd give anything just to hold you, it's so hard to let you go
All the way up, all the way up to heaven

Scars and bars and a no tell motel
Black and white cars, pulling over backseat bombshells
A jack knife operation, crying out loud
Walking in a deadman's shoes then take the next train out

Step outside, get up off of your knees, American beauty
Step out of line, baby you got to say please, American beauty,
No place to run, get right back to where you started from

Standing in the shadows, it happened way to fast
Two desperadoes, fighting in the broken glass
Push comes to shove in a California minute
Blood on the tracks, You never look back, She ain't dead yet

Step outside, get up off of your knees, American beauty
Get out of line, baby you got to say please, American beauty,
No place to run, get right back to where you started from

Scars and bars and a no tell motel
Black and white cars, pulling over backseat bombshells
A different education, dollar everyday
Give them all a happy ending, send them on their way

Step outside, get up off of your knees, American beauty
Get out of line, baby you got to say please, American beauty,
Get out of line, get up off of your knees, American beauty
No place to run, get right back to where you started from

I can make a couple a calls
Let's see whatever way it falls
True it's seems a little bit late
Got a dream and it just can't wait

A million places
We're wanting to be
Where everybody's standing
And they're starting to scream

Around the world we go
Get laugh from the people that you know
Around the world we go
Stick around 'til the evening starts 'til glow
Around the world we go
Now it's time to let your head explode

I can see it coming down
I know that you can feel the sound
You and I were made to move
Just put the diamond into the groove

A million faces we're hoping to see
Where everybody's standing staring back at me

Around the world we go
Get laugh from the people that you know
Around the world we go
Stick around 'til the evening starts 'til glow
Around the world we go
Now it's time to let your head explode

Everybody needs a little getting away
Shout it all together we've got something to say
Gather up anyone that you can find
Forget the masqueraders leave 'em all behind

Around the world we go
Get laugh from the people that you know
Around the world we go
Stick around 'til the evening starts 'til glow
Around the world we go
Get laugh from the people that you know
Around the world we go
Now it's time to let your head explode

I watch the way your mouth is moving
Like a detective at the crime
I study your expression
And the read between your lines

You know I've got a deep suspicion
That you're out there playing games
But I never see the faces
I don't know the names

As far as I can see
You belong to me
It's heaven when you smile
I can see the devil in your eyes
It's better for my heart
To keep me in the dark
Are you telling lies or
Someone to believe
As far as I can see

I get the feeling that you're looking
For another soul to steal
You can feel the hunger
And you're looking right at me

You know I've got a deep suspicion
That you're out there playing games
But I never see the faces
I don't know the names

As far as I can see
You belong to me
It's heaven when you smile
I can see the devil in your eyes
It's better for my heart
To keep me in the dark
Are you telling lies or
Someone to believe
As far as I can see

I don't know what it is that keeps me hanging on
I know there'll come a day when I'll look and
You'll be gone
You'll be gone

As far as I can see
You belong to me
It's heaven when you smile
I can see the devil in your eyes
It's better for my heart
To keep me in the dark
Are you telling lies or
Someone to believe
As far as I can see

Back on the road
New pair of shoes
Almost took a wrong turn thinking 'bout you
I shook my head left
I shook my head right
Had about enough of thinking 'bout you tonight

I need some new illusion
Give me a picture of a brighter day
It's all I need to see a new solution
Just a break to take me away

I wanna feel rich when I'm broke
Feel young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling
Up when I'm down
Even strong with no power
See the sunshine at night
'Cause you know I get the feeling night

Back in the street
Where I should be
The good times and the bad times are waiting there for me
I try to make a move
But nothing seems to give
I can't climb the wall to where the other half live

I need some new illusion
Give me a picture of a brighter day
It's all I need to see a new solution
Just a break to take me away

I wanna feel rich when I'm broke
Feel young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling
Up when I'm down
Even strong with no power
See the sunshine at night
'Cause you know I get the feeling right

A thousand years ago
Or two years from now
I'll guarantee that someone's gonna try to get you down
Everything you've got
Is all they wanna take
But you can sing a song, They can never steal away

I need some new illusion
Give me a picture of a brighter day
It's all I need to see a new solution
Just a break to take me away

I wanna feel rich when I'm broke
Feel young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling
Up when I'm down
Even strong with no power
See the sunshine at night
'Cause you know I get the feeling
Rich when I'm broke
Young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling right

Do you know who I am
Did you follow the change
Am I part of your plan to stay the same
I'm not that man

I've worm out my shoes
On sacred ground
My point of view is not straight down
Like I see you

Viva la strange take a bite of Eden's apple
Against the grain and away from the madness

I don't want to burn the life of my candle
Waiting around for a better day
I'll take a chance on fates middle finger
And be someone I've never been

Don't want to be another pretender
Not gonna lie to save my face
I wanna' leave the thieves in the temple
And go somewhere out of this place
I won't get in my way

Roll away the stone
And slip through the cracks
Shake all the bones off my back
My heart is my own

Viva la strange take a bite of Eden's apple
Beyond the frame and out of the pretty picture

Born as a Leo but soft as a lamb
One-quarter Creole with the back of her hand
Washes her hair in the Kryptonite rain
A little invitation could shake up a saint

Lost in space makes you never wanna come back down
But you'll remember where you wanna be now

I go to sleep with one eye open
Hoppin' it's tonight she crosses that line
Think you died this side of heaven
But hell ain't far behind
Shed my skin, thrill me to the bliss
The fun begins, kill me with a kiss

Batten down the hatches Medusa's on the loose
Show me the trap, put my neck in the noose
A delicate flower with a crack in the vase
I lose myself in Jazebel a smile on my face

Take a leap of faith don't be afraid to try it
And you'll feel better said the spider to the fly

I go to sleep with one eye open
Hoppin' it's tonight she crosses that line
Think you died this side of heaven
But hell ain't far behind
Shed my skin, thrill me to the bliss
The fun begins, kill me with a

She's a real live pedestal beauty
And my unpredictable cross to bear
Death defying savoir faire

I go to sleep with one eye open
Hoppin' it's tonight she crosses that line
Think you died this side of heaven
But hell ain't far behind
Shed my skin, thrill me to the bliss
The fun begins, kill me with a kiss

Shootin' from the hip, cut me to the quick
Bite my lip, kill me with a kiss

Kill me with a
I got my freak on like it's triple X rated
A dose of mojo like it's something contagious
A velvet hammer poison with a twist
Straight jacket lover kill me with a kiss

I've been sucked in, how much do you think
That I'll get away with
Push me and pull me, baby's out with the bath
I don't know who to stay with
There's nothing more that I can do,
Worms in a can just me and you
Can't turn away, burning bridges today,
It's a crime, it's a shame
Nobody left to blame,
Nobody left to blame,
Nobody
Eat my cake, I don't care what's at stake,
I'm swinging like Tarzan
I can't sleep, shadows run deep,
My right's caught in my left hand
There's nothing more that I can do,
Worms in a can just me and you
Can't turn away burning bridges today
It's a crime, it's a shame
Nobody left to blame
I've come undone stuck under the gun,
You know the truth is demanding
Bark at the moon, the end comes too soon,
There's only one man standing
I don't care, I don't know
There's nothing more that I can do
Call it a day just passing through
Shaken the sound, lost on the ground
It's a crime, it's a shame
Nobody left to blame
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody left to blame
I fell so down
Have to get away
Nobody

Once upon a time, the chemistry was cool
I had a little place, just a space standin' next to you
When you lost your mind, did you realize or wonder why
When you go insane, your to blame now I gotta fly

Underhanded, how you planned it was the perfect crime
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time

You never told me that you had a little dark spot on your heart
You threw me a bone, left me alone and then you ripped me apart
Now you're the one, come undone, the tables turned around
Where do you go, so low, I think your going under the ground

Underhanded, how you planned it was the perfect crime
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time

Now it's time to take a stand * Take it back in my hands
I'm only doing what I can * Why should give a damn

Now it's going down, I dropped the other shoe
You know it's been said, your thick head, it all comes back to you
It seems you're the one come undone, the world has turned around
Original sin is doing you in and now I

Understand it, how you planned it was the perfect crime
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time
Once upon a time

Face of an angel, soul of saint
So much of the things, I know that I ain't
I should be glad, you might suppose
For some stupid reason that nobody knows

All that she's got, it sure is a lot
But it still ain't enough for me

There must be a reason, I'm not satisfied
So hard to please, oh I realize
She up and left me with nothing to say
Somehow I knew it would end up this way

All that she's got, it sure is a lot
But it still ain't enough for me

Face of an angel, soul of saint
So much of the things, I know that I ain't
I should be glad, you might suppose
For some stupid reason that nobody knows

All that she's got, it sure is a lot
But it still ain't enough for me

All that she's got, it sure is a lot
But it still ain't enough for me

Still Ain't Enough for Me

I was a soldier with no regrets walking on the fence
Falling back at my feet again
There was a vision, decision's made to mold me out of clay
Taking away my wings... oooooo
The man I supposed to be, now is the enemy
And I wonder who I am,
Will I be someone to remember
After the glory ends
Hiding in my disguise, I'm a stranger, Stranger in My Life...
I'm perfect but broken, the mirror tells it all
Looking into my window soul
Up in the distance our different made no one else can see
Someone I used to know, I made her the right mistakes
Now I goes to the big parade
And I wonder where I've been,
Where is the dreamer I remember?
Loosing a long lost friend,
Hiding in my disguise
I'm a stranger, Stranger in my life...
I woke up all choked up out of my head
My heart is wide open, re-writing how this story ends
... solo guitar...
And I wonder who I am,
Will I be someone to remember
After the glory ends
Hiding in my disguise, I'm a stranger, Stranger in My Life..

She said she couldn't do it
if she tried
But she never tried
she will never try
It's running through her veins
like cyanide
It gets her by
but just for a while
How long
can she keep on chasing
something wrong
Memories
of how she could've made it

The waves are crashing
down she's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea
She's looking for a light
but there's nowhere to go
Undertow

She sees the world through
hazy bloodshot eyes
Just looking for another high
She lives by golden rules
that don't apply
Life passed her by
and I tell you why
How long
can she keep on chasing
something wrong
Memories
of how she could've made it

The waves are crashing down
she's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea
She's looking for a light
but there's nowhere to go
Undertow

How long
can she keep on chasing
something wrong
Memories
of how she could've made it

The waves are crashing down
she's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea
She's looking for a light
but there's nowhere to go
The waves are crashing down
she's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea
She's looking for a light
but there's nowhere to go

To Be With You Lyrics

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I've seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Chorus

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile

When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

To Be With You Lyrics

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I've seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Chorus

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile

When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I've been miles from nowhere

Crossed and doubled back

Time is a healer

Cause I've done my time

No, I ain't seen love like that



I've seen the light of freedom

Dim and fade to black

So many faces, but no one compares

No, I ain't seen love like that

And I got people telling me to let her go

Don't let it turn you around

Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know

The one that you lost may be found



I believe in justice

I wonder where's she's at

It feels like a lifetime

And it just ain't fair

No I ain't seen love like that

And I got people telling me to let her go

That girl is bringing you down

Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know

The love that you lost may be found



You know that people telling me to let her go

Don't let it turn you around

Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know

The love that you lost may be found



I've been miles from nowhere

Crossed and doubled back

Time is a healer

And I've done my time

No, I ain't seen love like that

No, I ain't seen love like that

So many faces, (ain't seen love like that)

No one compares (ain't seen love like that)

(ain't seen love like that) ain't seen love...

(ain't seen love like that_ no I ain't...

It's late at night and neither
one of us is sleeping
I can't imagine live my life
after your're gone
Wondering why so many
questions have no answers
I keep on searching for the reason
why we went wrong
Where is our yesterday
you and I could use it right now
But if this is goobye
Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you
but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go

Here we are about to
take the final step now
I just can't fool myself
I know there's no turning back
Face to face
it's been and endless conversation
but when the love is gone
you're left with nothing but talk
I'd give my everything
if only I could turn you around
But if this is goobye
Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you
but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go

Just take my heart
Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you
but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart
Just take my heart when you go
take my heart
Just take my heart

All right, huh!

I work hard every day

Come rain or shine

Don't need nobody

To tell about a girl of mine

She's got so much love

She saved it all for me

And I would not be lying

It's the way it's gotta be



So mister Big, uh

Better watch out, uh

And don't you hang around me now

That' all for you

I would dig-ya

A great big hole in the ground

All right....yeah, yeah

Now listen

I don't care who you are.



So don't explain

Better get on out of here

And don't you come back again

I don't want a thing from ya

Don't wanna give you nothing too

So get on out of here

Before I lose my cool

(repeat chorus)


Don't you know I really need to?

Oh, woh, woh, Mister Big, yeah.

The clock is ticking
on the table in my room
Funny how the time
just slips away
An ordinary simple man
Who's lost a little
piece of something
Hold my breath and
close my eyes
Say a little prayer
Here we go again hello
I didn't see the end
so the story goes
How can I be cool
When I always play the fool
I need a shot of love
Like an arrow
through the heart
Mind is open to the
page of yesterday
Isn't it a crime how
love can go
I always knew there
would come a day
When silence played the
king of pain
So I close my eyes and
hold my breath
Contemplate a change
Here we go again hello
I didn't see the end
so the story goes
How can I be cool
I always play the fool
I need a shot of love
Like an arrow
throuth the heart

I have my faith in life
I know the truth inside
This time I swear
it's gonna be better

hold my breath
close my eyes
Here we go again hello
I didn't see the end
so the story goes
How can I be cool
I always play the fool
I need a shot of love
Like an arrow
throuth the heart
Here we go again hello
How can I be cool
I always play the fool
I need a shot of love
Like an arrow
throuth the heart
The clock is ticking
on the table in my room

Superstar girl in a strange little world, exit on hustle made for two
Rock n' roll colossal, makin' such a fuss oh
Candy on a million dollar bill

Chorus


I want to know if you
Be got a strange fascination and some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation for a
Cheap little thrill
Expressionistic space suit, exit from the parachute
The planet is a candle in a box
I'm swingin' from the grapevine, runnin' through the stop sign
Won't you show me yours, I'll show you mine
I want to know if you've got a strange fascination and some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation for a
Cheap little thrill
I know you've got a strange desperation and I'll stay until
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation for a
Cheap little thrill
A cheap little thrill, a cheap little thrill
I know you've got a strange fascination for a
Cheap little thrill

Crawlin' is the place you have been,
When you're crawlin'
When you crawl...
Crawl over me.

Euphoria is her name, she's so good,
She is almost bad, she is almost mad.
Sweet misery is a game that conceals,
The benediction, a cruel conviction.

Have you ever been a child,
have you ever faked a smile,
When you crawl? (crawl over me)
You're back on your knees again,
Right where you've always been. (crawl over me)
Where's your pride?
You're on the ground.
Crawl over me.

Since the alchemy plays the cards that she deals,
She lets me see what I want to see
Have you ever been afraid,
Have you ever lied to get laid,
When you crawl?
Crawl over me,
You're back on your knees again,
Right where you've always been. (crawl over me)
Where's your pride?
You're on the ground.
Crawl over me.

Have you ever been alone, stare into the great unknown.
You want to suffer so you can't feel.
You can't buy so you have to steal.
Was I ever in your plans?
Will I ever understand?

Crawl over me, (crawl over me, crawl over me, crawl over me)
You're back on your knees again, (crawl over me)
Right where you've Always been. (crawl over me)
Wehre's your pride?
You're on the ground.
Crawl over me.

You walked in like a goddess
I'm good like I don't notice
Wrapped up in all the trimmings
I stopped my tongue from spilling
My insides inside out

So how, how, how is it possible
To spy my private eye
How, how, how could it be so criminal
Inside your dirty mind

I hid my heart away with my little masquerade
How did I give myself away
I'm high on Cleopatra
Too high to climb the ladder up
A slave to circumstances
I watched you from a distance
I thought you'd never know how far I wanna go
To spy my private eye

How, how, how could it be so criminal
Inside your dirty mind
I hid my heart away with my little masquerade
How did I gibe myself away

Solo

I never felt so busted
My insides inside out
How do you see me now

I married my high school drama queen
She pulled the curtains over me
Then it was I now pronounce you
a one act fool
I've been sitting here
wishing for my pot of gold
And my ship to come on in
But the motherlode is just
another load of shit that
I've been sinking in
Say goodbye to greener pastures
living happy ever after
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
That's why I'm with you

Now it's Oprah and Sally
and how the world turns
And the big time money
that I'll never earn
When only the sun goes
down the party's over
If misery loves company
Then baby you and I were meant to be
Tomorrow's turning out to be
a beautiful day
Say goodbye to greener pastures
living happy ever after
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
That's why I'm with you

We settle for poor connection
Got it down to imperfection
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my shoes
I don't wanna be happy
That's why I'm with you
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
That's why I'm with you

Silent voices close their
minds and hide
Behind their secret gardens
Welcome to the age of rage
And everybody's high on
something Run see Jack run
With all the little
piggies in a row
They come They go
Does anyone five a damn
Who I am or where I'm going
I an your favorite some
come undone
Lost in America

Suck your poison throw
your rhymes
And wait for something
bad to happen
Stand behind your middle finger
Cool to kill is still in fashion
Run see Jack run
With all the little
piggies in a row
They come they go
Does anyone give a damn
Who I am or where I'm going
I am your favorite son
come undone
Lost in America

Lost in America
he are name Lost in America

Here in the wasteland
No one's as sane
as everyone else
And there'll be
hell to pay one fine day

Cool see Jack run
With all the little
come undone
Does anyone give a damn
Who I am or where I'm going
I am your favorite son
come undone
Lost in America

he are name Lost in America

Lost in America
he are name Lost in America

You're out the window
Your head is heading south
Under a constant cloud
That rains on your parade
Her wings have broken
Your fall from grace
No words are spoken
She invades your space
She comes in every color
To paint your sad face upside sown
You just can't help but love her
Cause everything's better
When Mary goes round
When Mary goes round

Her eyes are legend
An infectious mystery
A silent melody
That works into the skin
You can't imagine
You're forever changed
In Mary's innocence
It's a brand new day
She comes in every color
To paint your sad face upside down
You just can't help but love her
Cause everything's better
When Mary goes round
When Mary goes round

She comes in every color
To paint your sad face upside down
You just can't help but love her
Cause everything's better
When Mary goes round
She comes in every color
To paint your sad face upside down
You just can't help but love her
Cause everything's better
When Mary goes round

When Mary goes round
When Mary goes round
When Mary goes round
Mary goes round

love is a stranger you didn't plan
turns you to a victim or a volunteer
it can disappear like a rose in a garden
there's nothing like it in the world
you can swear to god that it's over
tell a crippled heart to play dead
there's no way to stop looking over your shoulder
there's nothing like it in the world
there's nothin like the weight when it's lifted
there's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly
i know for sure,cause i've been there before
there's nothing like it in the world
somewhere in a smile there's an invitation
calling you back into the dance
you can't deny such a high beautiful moment
there's nothing like it in the world
there's nothin like the weight when it's lifted
there's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
there's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly
i know for sure,cause i've been there before
there's nothing like it in the world
(solo) there's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
there's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly
with no compromise i know for sure,
cause i've been there before
there's nothing like it in the world

Everything is always changing even in a world that stays the same
Breakin' heavy hearts are shaken, All the lonely people live the game
He waits for her, she waits for him, they wait for anyone
And another day begins

Chorus
People rushin' everywhere, never any time to care
Us and them and me and you, pilling up so much to do
All the colors start to fade to gray, an ordinary day is just
One world away

Try to five them what they want, You're stuck inside that same old state of grace
All we are all we seem, a noisy dream inside a quiet place
I wait for her, she waits for him, he waits for anyone
And another day begins

People rushin' everywhere, never any time to care
Us and them and me and you, pilling up so much to do
All the colors start to fade to gray, an ordinary day is just
One world away

I never really feel quite right
난 진짜 확실한 기분을 가진적이 없어
I don't know why,
all I know is something's wrong
왜인지는 모르겠어
내가 아는 것은 뭔가 틀렸다는 것 뿐.
Everytime I look at you,
you seem so alive
널 보면 어느 때나 생기가 넘치지

Tell me how you do it,
어떻게 그런 건지 말해줘
Walk me through it,
I'll follow in every footstep
이끌어 줘, 한 걸음도 놓치지 않고 따를테니
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
아마도 넌 조심스레 발을 내딛겠지
Till you wanna give it up,
그만두고 싶을 때까지
but all I want is for you to..
하지만 내가 네게 바라는 건 단지...
Shine, shine down on me,
빛나주는 것, 내게 빛을 비춰주는 것
Shine on this life that's burnin' out..
이 타오르는 생명을 비춰죠

I say a lot of things sometimes
that don't come out right
난 가끔 제대로 나오지 않는
말들을 많이 내뱉기도 해
And I act like I don't know why
이유 모를 행동을 하기도 하지
I guess a reaction's all I was lookin' for, Yeah..
그저 누군가의 관심을 찾고 있었나봐, yeah..
When you looked through me,
you really knew me, like no one
네가 날 들여다 볼 때면,
넌 정말로 날 알 수 있었어
has ever looked before
누구도 보지 않았던 것처럼

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
어쩌면 넌 혼자서 조심스레 발걸음을 내딛겠지
Till you wanna give it up,
그만두고 싶을 때까지
but all I want is for you to..
하지만 내가 네게 바라는 건 단지...
Shine, shine down on me,
빛나주는 것, 내게 빛을 비춰주는 것
Shine on this life that's burnin' out..
불타오르는 이 생명을 비춰주는 것
(I know, I know, know you got somethin'..)
(알아, 난 알아, 너에게는 뭔가가 있다는 걸..)
Shine, (shine it on to me)
빛나주는 것(내게 그걸 비춰줘)
shine down on me, (I want to feel it)
내게 빛을 비춰주는 것(빛을 느끼고 싶어)
Shine on this life that's burnin' out..
이 타오르는 생명을 비춰죠

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
어쩌면 넌 혼자서 조심스레 발걸음을 내딛겠지
Till you wanna give it up,
그만두고 싶을 때까지
but all I want is for you to..
하지만 내가 네게 바라는 건 단지...
Shine, shine down on me,
(just show me something)
빛나주는 것, 내게 빛을 비춰주는 것
(단지 내게 뭔가 보여줘)
Shine on this life that's burnin' out..
불타오르는 이 생명을 비춰주는 것
(you give me something that I've never known)
(넌 내가 결코 알지 못했던 것을 내게 줘)

Shine, (if you could show me the way)
빛나주는 것, (내게 길을 보여줄 수 있다면)
shine down on me,
내게 빛을 비춰주는 것,
(I want to know what's going on in your life)
(네 삶 속에서 일어나는 일들을 알고 싶어)
Shine on this life that's burnin' out..
(don't you know I want you to..)
불타오르는 이 생명을 비춰주는 것
(네가 그러길 원한다는 걸 모르겠니)
Shine, shine down on me,
빛나주는 것, 내게 빛을 비춰주는 것
Shine on this life that's burnin' out..
이 타오르는 생명을 비춰죠

I'm waitin' for the someone
just beyond the pale
where everybody's little
Thing is up for sale
An information bonfire
I'm twistin' while I wait
and now I'm temptin' fate
24 7 365 Japandemonium
is still alive
Praying like a sinner
croked with the blues
Lost all there is to lose
Can't hear
can't see
can't touch too much temptation
Too high to breathe
to believe in my own liberation
I'm fightin' suffocation
Suffocation
Traffic of the mind
Fast forward and rewind
sometimes your clothes
don't seem to fit
Frown becomes a smile
a man becomes a child
The fan is gonna hit the shit
Heaven on earth
will cost you what it's worth
you'll find it anywhere you dare
Spin the tale donkey
I wonder how you sleep
Jump up your fight for the air
Can't hear
can't see
can't touch too much temptation
Too high to breathe
to believe in my own liberation
I'm fightin' suffocation

I'm hangin' too much rope
in shadows and the smoke
Turns blue up in the sky
Packin' all my stuff
way too much is not enough
who's got the
Most and then you die
Can't hear can't see
can't feel my frustration
Too high to breath
to believe in transformation
Can't come can't go too slow
suffocation
Too high to breathe
to believe in my own liberation
there's too much population
Stop the world
I'm jumpin' off
I'm fightin' suffocation
Suffocation
Suffocation

you go to school
with your head held down
you try to fit in
but they push you out
too many people put your
face in the ground
you'll get them back
you'll get them
even if you gotta wait
it out the rage is out
and you feel like
you're worthless
when you 're breakin' down
no one's around
there's gotta be somethin'
better than this
you wanna feel
like you're livin'
wake up wake up son it's
just a voice in your head
get up get up tell'em what you
should have said
I know they get to
ya but you got a future
don't let'em take you down
wake up wake up boy
your' gonna live again
you think an attitude can
make you cool
sick and tired of being
everyone's fool
you think daddy's gun
is gonna erase
all the scars and the pain
but you better weigh it out
don't ever doubt
in one moment your
life can change
it's easy now to live it down
you say you fell
like a number now
but you're more than a number
wake up wake up son it's
just a voice in your head
get up get up tell'em what you
should have said
I know they get to
ya but you got a future
don't let'em take you down
wake up wake up son
your' gonna live again
you can waste your
time try to find
someone to blame and let it out
but I need to hear is
everything is gonna be fine

wake up wake up son it's
just a voice in your head
get up get up tell'em what you
should have said
wake up wake up son it's
just a voice in your head
get up get up tell'em what you
should have said
I know they get to
ya but you got a future
don't let'em take you down
wake up wake up boy
your' gonna live again

When she cried,
Felt like her last tear for nothing
It's her life a toss of the coin for everything
The girl began to see
That you don't need just any man
And her pride is a kiss goodbye
On graduation day

She always said
She'd be happier alone
She always said she won't be anybody's
Second hand rose
She's scared, but she dares
She is a rose alone

Daddy says, you can't pay the rent
On a fairy tale
It's her play she'd rather be free
Than be safe in jail
Make or break,
You do what you gotta do
'Cause you can
Taste the wine, it's bittersweet
But the bite still it gets you high

She always said
She'd be happier alone
She always said she won't be
Anybody's secondhand rose
She always said
She'd be happier alone
She's scared, but she dares
To be a rose alone

I've been burin' the blues with a capital B
Surfin' in hell for a brand new me
Got a bone to pick with my skeleton crew
Cashin' in my IOUs

Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom

I'm dancin' wit my devils
Blind side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I

I've been workin' the street in the same old suit
And there's a hole in my soul that's showin' right through
No more walkin' the walk or talkin' that fast talk
'Cause I'm out of my skin and takin' my clothes off

Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom

I'm dancin' with my devils
Blind side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I
I'm dancin' with my devils
Doin' the Spanish fly
I'm dancin' with my devils
Hotter than July

I want to do what I wanna do
I have to be who I want to be
Hey you just gotta get over it
It's good be the king

Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
When all is said and done
If you can't beat 'em join 'em and then some

Light me up,
'Cause the night is only halfway through
I'd love to make some trouble with you
Flick my switch, smack my lips, let's go
I gotta fuse that's abused
And it's ready to blow

I start to slip into anticipation,
A twisted fascination

I'm in over my head,
'Cause you're outta your mind
You've got me electrified
Shock me once,
Shock me twice

You've got me electrified,
Oh shock me!

It might be wrong,
Yeah! It might me a big mistake

That's a charge in my heart
That I'm willing to take

Slow your motor down,
Hey you know I've got to rewind

I need the twenty minutes
Back to the start of the line

I slip and gall into anticipation,
A twisted fascination

I'm over my head,
'Cause you're outta your mind
You've got me electrified
Every little thing and all the time
You've got me electrified
Shock me once. Shock me twice
You've got me electrified

Absence, a bad reputation
All locked up inside a sunglass head
Broken, I feel what you've been makin'
Wakin' up in time to go to bed

Up then down, lost not found
Tomorrow's yesterday
All the way, face to face
Let me in your hiding place

Justice, lives inside of laughter
Stand alone, a circle in a square
Keep it close, nothin' seems to matter
Everything is always I don't care
Let me in, shed your skin
Four walls a single space
Mouth to mouth, hand to face
Let me in your hiding place

Find yourself alone, you're so tiny in a big box
Get it in, get it out, breathe it in, breathe it out

Let me in, shed your skin
Four walls a single space
Mouth to mouth, hand to face
Let me in your hiding place

I dream in colors
And the people I used to be
Tomorrow never mattered
A trip on the scale of lunacy

I was a passenger
In a life I was only passing through
An angel with a dirty face
With a smile on a lie that could make it seem true

How would you ever know it - how the story goes
Painting footsteps on the road - you never know

I saw the world with diamonds in my eyes
And I'd take my heart and throw it in the sky
I believed that I'd be forever young
I could burn a hole in the sun

I'm turning the pages
Back when time was a friend of mine
How everything changes
Jump from the fun and you never think twice

How would you ever know it - how the story goes
Painting footsteps on the road - you never know

I saw the world with diamonds in my eyes
And I'd take my heart and throw it in the sky
I believed that I'd be forever young
I could burn a hole in the sun

I been tried, crucified, yeah!
And I keep on believin' it's alright in my mind
I have tried, but I can't go back to kneeling,
not this time
We've been dying for too long
You can fight but you're never wrong

How does it feel when the hurt is on
and the blame is worn on you
How does it feel when your pride is torn,
your best years are gone and used
How does it feel

I was holdin' on, now I'm leavin'
and there ain't no chance I'm goin' back
Seven years of believin' it could change
but now I know she's the reason
we keep on holdin' on
You can fight but you're never wrong

How does it feel when the hurt is on
and the blame is worn on you
How does it feel when your pride is torn,
your best years are gone and used
How does it feel

I don't know where I belong
We still fight but you're never wrong oh
We've been dying for too long,
How does it feel

I was up and sown all night,
Thoughts stick to me like glue
Sometimes the sunrise doesn't look so good
When the sun sets down on you
Too much talkin' about it
Was it money or was it love
You put yourself up on a pedestal,
Now you can watch from up above

Look at the man in the mirror
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
Now you're Mr. Never In A Million Years

You're a D.I.Y. mister, it's been a good day in hell
Keep those cards and letters comin'
Lock them away up in a hole on the shelf

Look at the man in the mirror
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
Now you're Mr. Never In A Million Years

When it falls it falls quick
Only smile when you think you should
When you piss in the well
Don't complain about the water not tastin' so good

Look at the man in the mirror
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
You had it and it all disappeared
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
Now you're Mr. Never In A Million Years

Fear is a thief in the night
It leaves you hopeless
I believe in dreams,
I believe in flying

I am what I am, what I am
and I'm sorry if I displease you
What am I fighting for
It's not my war

Till today I was in my way
Clouding up the lens
of my own vision

I gave up on masic wands
For the right to get it wrong
And blave the world's collisions

I'll turn out the crystal ball
If I stumble I will crawl
It's my new religion

I'd rather be banging my head
Even if it kills me
I believe in chance,
I believe in crashing

Better you're turn to yourself
Than a perfect shadow
Of somebody else
An empty shell

Here today
I'm gonna run my own way
Somehow I don't need your permission

I gave up on masic wands
For the right to get it wrong
And blave the world's collisions

I'll turn out the crystal ball
If I stumble I will crawl
It's my new religion
my new religion

Your've been runnin
but there's no one to run with
Hey where you gonna run
You've been dyin
but there's no one to stop it
Oh What are you gonna do
Static up in your mind
interference
Static cloudin your head
Static causin confusion
all the way down the wire

You've been fallin
but there's no one to catch you
Oh Where you gonna land
You've been chasin
now you're all set to crash
and burn
What are you gonna do
Static up in your mind
interference
Static cloudin your head
Static causin confusion
all the way down the wire

Static up in your mind
interference
Static cloudin your head
Static causin confusion
all the way down the wire
Static up in your mind
interference
Static cloudin your head
Static causin confusion
all the way down the wire

He runs around

like it's monkey do situation

Reach down into his soul

and get nothing at all

Ride the wave

in a bubble made of plastic

in a water colour world that's....

Superfantastc

everything is beautiful

Nothing's too tragic

in the heads

happy people

Bedtime stories

morning glories

Blue skies and

the perfect life

for you and me

Look into the eyes

of the man and see

the main attraction

Living off the fat of the land

and standing tall

Mr. Feel Good craves statisfaction

Like an all day sucker...

Superfantastic

everything is beautiful

Nothing's too tragic

in the haeads of happy people

Bedtime stories, morning glories

Blue skies and the perfect life

for you and me

White bread, black tie

big boys don't cry

Lock your doors and multiply

I've given up on give and take
Why feed the hand that slaps your face
You can't win for losin' your own mind
No way to scratch a seven year itch
I've read your mind, now read my lips
I'm only human, flesh and bone
What's the point of draggin' on

I'm trying to do without it
I gave you my heart for a stab in the back
I spent all my time on the table
Getting sawed in half
Trying to do without it
I was digging a hole
Now I'm filling it up
I try so hard,
Trying to do without it
- your love

I'm better off than hanging by a thread
Don't need a queen
In my king size bed
To tell me how and when to make it
What good is love that disappears
Comes back crying crocodile tears
It's the same old spot,
The same old situation
A dirty job
Crawling from the wreckage

I'm trying to do without it
I gave you my heart
For a stab in the back
I spent all my time on the table
Getting sawed in half
Trying to do without it
I was digging a hole
Now I'm filling it up
I try so hard trying to do without it
- your love

I'll say good bye and wonder why
I'm still tempted
All that's left is the white flag
That I'm waving

Hold on little girl
show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
when it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

*I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

*repeat

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwile
and I can make you start to smile

When it's through
It's through
Fate would twist the both of you
So come on baby
Come on over
Let me be the one
To show you

*repeatX2

Just to be the next to be with you

All alone in the twilight
I'm a shadow in the room
Time is my companion
But it turned its back too soon
Imagination will take me anywhere I want to go
But with my ballerina
Both of us lost in a-
Love light from an old Roman candle
Midnight won't be the same
When I close my eyes
We're dancin' right into the flame
The pciture is fading Like a vision from my soul Nothing left but a memory
In the silver afterglow
She may be gone, but not forgotten Inside my heart, yeah-
But with my ballerina
Both of us lost in a-
Love light from an old Roman candle
Midnight won't be the same
When I close my eyes
We're dancin' right into the flame
My mind seems to wander away
And play me like a fool
I wish it could be like the way it was
'Cause life can be so cruel
But with my ballerina
I live in a dream of a-
Love light from an old Roman candle
When I close my eyes
Midnight won't be the same
We're dancin' right into the flame
Love light from an old Roman candle
Midnight won't be the same
When I close my eyes
We're dancin' right into the flame

They say it's not the money

You know it's not the money

Can you figure out what you want

What you need?

They try to pump it up, forget about the facts

Sometmes it hurts but it's never taken back

The left is right, the right is left

Oh yeah, I gotta get this thing right off my chest

(Chorus)

Black, white and grey what can you do

What can you say?

How can they fool us today?

Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry

How can they fool us today

2nd verse

Talkin' twenty-four, secen. we're losin' what we're gettin'

They slap you down with a call from up above

It's a window to the world

A word to every man

Just gettin' it up, we'll all do what we can

They do it all for you, much better than the rest

Hey it's alright if you can pass the test

Repeat 1st chorus

Solo

It's all good new, we can buy and sell

Yeh! Don't stop now you can unring a bell

Chorus

Black, white and grey what can you do

What can you say?

How can they fool us today?

Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry

How can they fool us today

Catch the falling sky, we're all gonna die anyway

How can they fool us today?

Someone said life is for the taking
Here I am with my hand out waiting for a ride
I've been living for my great expectations
What good is it when I'm stranded here
And the world just passes by

Where are the signs to help me get out of this place

If I should stumble on my moment in time, how will I know
If the story's written on my face, does it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows.

Here I sit halfway to somewhere
Thinking about what's in front of me and what I left behind
On my own, supposed to be so easy
Is this what I've been after
Or have I lost my mind

Maybe this is my big chance coming to take me away

If I should stumble on my moment in time, how will I know
If the story's written on my face, does it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows.

Here I'm walking naked through the world
Taking up space, society's child
Make room for me, make room for me, make room for me

Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I fool

Going where the wind blows.
Going where the wind blows.
Going where the wind blows.
Going where the wind blows.

Comfort me

From a world where no one cares

Where the words turn into cages

And memories cut like glass

I closed my eyes on you

Put the blames on myself

The weight is on my shoulders

Throw my heart in the wishing well

I've got to face and tame my demons

I know it's hard to start over again,

yeah, I know.

Through trials and tribulations

Salvation's like a long lost friend

I'll take back all of the hurt

For your love I've taken for granted

I'll do anything to change

If that's what it takes

No use in pretending

Ain't no pride in it all

A cure for independence

Is when you're standing in the cold

Have I used have I used my chances

Have my bridges all been burned

Give me a sign of inspiration

To find a stone that's left unturned

I see a distant promise of Eden

Lifting my spirits so high

If I can break out of the circle

Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye

I'll take back all of the hurt

For your love I've taken for granted

I'll do anything to change

If that's what it takes (solo)

I've got to see a promise of Eden

Lifting my spirits so high

If I can break, break out of the circle

Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye

I'll take back all of the hurt

For your love I've taken for granted

I'll do anything to change, baby

If that's what it takes

Take back all of the hurt

For your love I've taken for granted

I'll do anything to change

If that's what it takes

If that's what it takes

Can I explain it?
It's not not an easy thing to do
A cryptic fascination
Seems to get me through
A darkened stranger
Who left me full of doubt
She'd tell me that she loved me
Then the lights went out

Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go
Jane Doe, she slipped away again
Does anybody know?
Jane Doe
Platonic whisper
That makes me want to shout
Then she always disappears
Like a lady from a Barcly House
Who is this woman
Someone that I invent
I follow all night long
Like a bloodhound on a secret
Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go
Jane Doe, she slopped away without
a trace
I still don't know
Jane Doe

There's no fault, no blame
Love can twist the brain
This picture lost its frame
And John has lost his Jane

Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go
Jane Doe, slippped away again
Does anybody know?
Jane Doe
There's no fault, no blame
Love can twist the brain
This picture lost its frame
And John has lost his Jane

Mama D
Has a way of fixing the hole
Where the water runs out my soul
When you sing for me
Save me Mama D

Mama D wears a dark
brown coat in the sun
The light in her eyes
burns so strong
And the melody
Heals me Mama D
Set me free Mama D

She won't bring you down
If you're shit outta luck
She can't live it down
Might as well live it up

Mama D
Has a way of seeing the truth
Through a lie or just an excuse
Or a tragedy
Show me Mama D
Whatcha see Mama D

She won't bring you down
If you're shit outta luck
She can't live it down
Might as well live it up

Hey man, are you ready to go

Down where you reach a higher low

Mmm, you can breathe the sweet sacred air

For the woman waiting there

Underground

Wisdom is only a relative experience

Life is a dream

Not what it seems

For the obscene

Out of the underground

Feeling is only a relative experience

I don't believe it

What does it mean

For the obscene

Down where you reach a higher low

Solo

Wisdom is only a relative experience

Feeling is only a relative experience

Life is a dream

Not what it seems

For the obscene

Out of the underground

I don't believe it

What does it mean

Down where you reach a higher low

Out of the underground

Words in my mouth

Someone told me to say

They go unspoken

My mind gets in the way

I hold my tongue

Save my, save my soul

True to myself

And stay gold

Sometimes you gotta pull the plug

Somewhere a little place to crawl

Love me for who I am

It doesn't have to be this hard

for an ordinary man

I wanna take cover, take cover

From you, wake me when it's over

Take cover, I wanna take cover

From you

Sold all my dreams

Watched them all disappear

I've spilled my blood

No one seems to care

Sometimes you gotta pull the plug

Somewhere a little place to crawl

Love me for who I am

How low do I have to go to make you

Understand

Tears
by Mr. Big



Tears, from saying goodbye
Tears, I`m sorry but I have made up my mind
I`m leaving to find a new life
a new love
All I can tell you is never
all I can give you
are tears
Tears
fall down from my eyes,
tears
A man never cries, he should hold them back,
hide them so no one could see
the real me
all I can tell you is never
all I can give you
are tears
After the love ran out,
I might be going out of my head
but instead
I`ve made up my mind
I`m leaving to find a new life
a new love
All I can tell you is never
all I can give you
are tears
All I can give you
are tears
Fall down from my eyes
tears
oooohooow

I hear their voices inside my head

There's no denying it's my private hell as

I lie in bed

I take a look around and see myself

In twenty years will I be them

I've taken all I can stand

Afraid of what kind of man I am

Does everything stay the same

Or will I break the chain

Secrets, emotions, and wounds concealed

Spirits are broken, the deepest scars that I'll never heal

They'll be back handed down from father to son

A closet full of skeletons

I've taken all I can stand

Afraid of what kind of man I am

Does everything stay the same

Or will I break the chain

I will get by

With a little understanding

'Cause it's my own life after all

I've taken all I can stand

Afraid of what kind of man I am

Does everything stay the same

Or will I break the chain

20 long years ridin
somebody's coattalis
Watching the vermin go
by thru a heavy coat
of chain mail
So ya wanna change
the world but ya still
Can't decide
They can take away
the cash but a fool's
got his pride
Everyone must kneel
before the man
The leader of the band
Trapped in toyland
20 odd years since
you heard Revolution
Feeding your fears
with psychological pollution
Everybody in the wold
tryin to take you For a ride
So you get behind
the wheel just to realize
you're blind
Sycophants associates n press men
Read the upper hand
Trapped in toyland
Trapped in toyland

toyland
toyland
toyland
toyland
Well it seems like years
since anybody
Knew your name
And you're drownin in your
tears but it's
all just the same
And it seems such a waste
for a man with such pride
But it's obvious reality is eatin
at your insides
Sycophants associates n press men
Read the upper hand
Everyone must kneel before the man
The leader of the band
Trapped in toyland
Trapped in toyland
Trapped in toyland
Trapped in toyland
Trapped in toyland
Trapped in toyland

Don't you color me by the way you paint your picture
I'm happy just the way I am
It's been soaked into my bones, a child under pressure
I'm a bastard of the master plan
I wanna live my life
Don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
But where do I fit in

Don't go sellin' me a dream you can't deliver
Like a dog in a cat suit, it's a poor disguise
Strange little angels a parade of saints and sinners
Greetings from the other side
I wanna live my life
I don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
But where do I fit in

I was walking on glass from a thousand broken mirrors
Saw my reflection stare me down
I tried to run, I was going through the motions
I got my feet on solid ground

I wanna live my life
Don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
I wasn't the same as you baby
But take a walk in my shoes
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
But where do I fit in

["Sing along. Strum along. Bump ahead."]

I've been miles from nowhere, crossed and doubled back
Time is a healer and I've done my time, 'cos I ain't seen love like that

I've seen the light of freedom, dim and fade to black
So many faces, but no one compares, no I ain't seen love like that

And I've got people tellin' me to let her go, don't let it turn you around
Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know, the one that you lost may be found

I believe in justice, I wonder where she's at
It feels like a lifetime and it just ain't fair
No I ain't seen love like that

And I've got people tellin' me to let her go, that girl is bringing you down
Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know, the love that you lost may be found

(Solo)

You know that people tell me to let her go, don't let it turn you around
Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know, the love that you lost may be found

I've been miles from nowhere, crossed and doubled back
Time is a healer and I've done my time, no I ain't seen love like that

No I ain't seen love like that - so many faces
Ain't seen love like that - and no one compares
I ain't seen love like that
Ain't seen love like that - ain't seen love
Ain't seen love like that - no, no I ain't

Ace high in golden,I was tall and on the rocks
Add a little touch of attitude
Whose that madam X coming in at 3 o'clock?
Why don't you send her over one, too
Next thing I remember
I was crawling 'round the room
She was dancing on the tables
I was blood-shot barking at the moom

Colorado, Colorado bulldog
This night has gone to my head
Colorado, Colorado bulldog
Throw a leash around my neck
And turn around and run like hell

Swinging from the rafters, losing all control
Playing a game of little cat and mouse
I popped the question I've been lonely much too long
Last call, 'Drinks are on the house'
Next thing I remember
Through the pandemonium
Feeling like a nightmare
That bites, right into my skin

My sweet Lolita. A preying Maneater
Left me in the No.6 Motel
How was I to know She'd strip me to the bone
And steal away my heart as well
Next thing I remember
Through the pandemonium
Feeling like a nightmare
That bites, right into my skin


Colorado, Colorado bulldog
This night has gone to my head
Colorado, Colorado bulldog
Bottoms up down the hatch
It's time to start all over again
