People say that once you dyed your hair
You started showing up everywhere Well you're standing tall, and you've got nothing at all So you grab at everything you see Now the world keeps spinning when you die While the lights keep flashing in the sky They'll be sighing after normal sights Drags up baggage, pretend to read Demand the pages that you'll never redo Sun sets down on your skittish heart Cedar mile, how it's coming apart Now the world keeps spinning when you die While the lights keep flashing in the sky They'll be sighing after normal fights Pickled eels, lemon peels Hired hand picks you something new Rainbow nights, stunning whites Stars that shine but don't belong to you The passive fools by the swimming pool You'll fit right in with their pathetic grins Stunning tricks, bottomless pits You remind me where I don't want to be While the lights keep flashing in the sky They'll be sighing after normal sights Now the world keeps spinning when you die |

At my house I have got no shackles
You can come and see if you want to In the walls youll see the mantles Where the light shines dim all around you And the streets are paved with gold and if Someone asks you, you can call my name You're just a thought that someone Somewhere, somehow feels you should be here And it's so for real to see you To smell, to touch, to know where you are here And the streets are paved with gold and if Someone asks you, you can call my name You can call my name I hear you calling my name! By the time that I'm through singing The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing More confusions, blood transfusions The news today will be the movies for tomorrow And the waters turned to blood, and if You don't think so Go turn on your tub And it's mixed with mud Youll see it turn to gray And you can call my name I hear you calling my name |

(Georgia - Ahhh Ahh Ahhh)
Came the day you made your mind to put you down Raised your voice and found it made a stronger sound Chorus: Alyda, what have you done to you Did confusion make you act that self assured To take the step that you were not yet ready for chorus Alyda, what have you done to you While you whiled away the hour Do you still the way i knew Do you dream of something better Or just something else to do He said how you hopped until your feet grew corns Check for some reaction then just hop some more chorus: Alyda, Alyda, Alyda - what have you done to you, to you, to you |

Andalucia when can I see you
When it is snowing out again Farmer john wants you Louder and softer closer and dearer Then again Needing you taking you keeping you leaving you In a year and a day to be sure That your face doesnt alter Your words never falter -- I love you Ill be here waiting later and later Hoping the night will go away Andalucia castles and christians Andalucia come to stay You were lost, once before, on a day much like this When youd made up your mind not to come And I couldnt persuade you Or wait till tomorrow -- or pass the time |

'There is a group of young Chinese who love music as their manner of
expression. They find love in adversity and dedication. They represent dramatic, living love.' Let's go change, you hokey little runt who wanted to dance, maybe fifteen years old, maybe sixteen years old, she says, "Hey man, you all suck!" So I get on up there, put her on her little ass with my honky stuff, with this attack on love. A little later on, it don't matter when, I get up back on the dance floor again. I say, "Hey, baby, what's your name? What's your name? What bothers you today? Are you ready for a little something to do?" |

When I heard the knock on the door
I couldn't catch my breath Is it too late to call this off We could slip away, wouldn't that be better Me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater I tried my best to hide In a crowded room, it's nearly possible I wait for you, oh, most patiently So I looked for your eyes And the waves looked like they'd pour right out of them I'll try hard, I'll try always But it's a waste of time It's a waste of time if I can't smile easily Like in the beginning In the beginning... |

Yesterday's gone and will be forgotten And today is where every new day starts Got to be free like the leaves in Autumn You may be sad but it never lasts And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing Just wait and see all the changes there'll be By the time it gets dark We could go out walking out in the sunshine Look at all the people out in the street Hurrying away to their business functions Waiting for a taxi for aching feet Light up your face, baby Let's get going Wanna see a change in those weary eyes We'll have some fun Take a boat out rowing Why ever should life so serious? And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing Just wait and see all the changes there'll be By the time it gets dark And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing Just wait and see all the changes there'll be By the time it gets dark By the time it gets dark By the time it gets dark By the time it gets darka| |

Whenever you are next to me, center of gravity, can't feel both feet on the ground Walking home after dark, past the softball park It's clear to me, according to a rule I learned one day in school Basic geometry: two halves of a circle, you and me It's a familial song we've known so long Your clever cuts into me as long as you're next to me I can't feel both feet on the ground |

In someone else's door There's a girl with cherry Chapstick on and nothing more. It's such a lurid pose and she seems this close But not to me Clear as day Crawling home at night Wondering why the girls don't look at me when I walk by. And the way they make me feel is way too real to believe ??? ??? Wondering what it could be like if I could be that smooth I could think about all that I missed out It's hard to do Someone else's date In someone else's door There's a girl with cherry Chapstick on and nothing more It's such a lurid pose and she seems this close But not to me Running around in circles all day long |

I see a deeper window into my eyes Every day they screech outside my window, The crashing cars never seem to collide Sometimes when I'm staring out my window To catch the stars, I watch as they go by I've been getting messages from outer space They expire light in the window in the sky There goes my mind If we dare walk onto my window I could hear them if I open my eyes Sometimes flashing lights seem soulful in the window You may have seen them circle me at night I keep sending signals into outer space They expire by your window in the sky There goes my mind Every day when restlessness takes over me I can't see it as I'm closing my eyes I keep sending signals into outer space They expire light in the window in the sky Sometimes when I'm staring out my window To catch the stars, I watch as they go by I've been getting messages from outer space They expire light in the window in the sky By your window in the sky |

Did I tell you of the dark lonely road
I was counting my steps as I made my way home Days of nothing but time on your hands, weighing on me Came to my end, undecided Whether to count what I felt against what I could say I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait 'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing My brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait. Our love is so important to me Starts wherever you land, walks right over to me Days of nothing but time in between, obviously So unwary, so uncaring I try not to be part of that, well, that's easy to say That I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait 'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing My brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait. There's a moment to discover no one can take all the blame And it's finally clear. I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait When deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing My brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait, Willing to wait, willing to wait |

I cried she was deaf And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes And what else you got left It was then that I got up to leave But she said, "Don't forget Everybody must give something back For something they get" I stood there and hummed, I tapped on her drum I asked her how come And she buttoned her boot and straightened her suit Then she said, "Don't get cute" So, I forced my hands in my pockets And felt with my thumbs And gallantly handed her My very last piece of gum She threw me outside, I stood in the dirt Where everyone walked And after finding that I forgotten my shirt I went back and knocked I waited in the hallway, she went to get it And I tried to make sense Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair That leaned up against Her Jamaican rum and when she did come I asked her for some She said, "No, dear", I said, "Your words aren't clear You'd better spit out your gum" She screamed till her face got so red Then she fell on the floor And I covered her up and then Thought I'd go look through her drawer And when I was through I filled up my shoe And brought it to you And you, you took me in, you loved me then You never wasted time And I, I never took much I never asked for your crutch Now, don't ask for mine |

Several times over several days
I wasn't blind, but I acted that way Causing you pain, well now I have to explain As the empty feeling turns from black to blue I can't believe this never happens to you I see it on the TV and I laugh out loud But it's the way I feel right now Cooler than me, my confidence high Reset the scene, no way to deny it Finally I won and then I was undone As the empty feeling turns from black to blue I can't believe this never happens to you I see it on the TV and I laugh out loud But it's the way I feel right now As the empty feeling turns from black to blue I can't believe this never happens to you I see it on the TV and I laugh out loud But it's the way I feel right now |

Come won't you walk with me Griselda,
wearing the dress that moonlight shines through. I am a sad and lonely boy , since your mother said I couldn't see you. Slipping through the wood in the dark of the night, calling to the moon out yonder O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light, and lead me to my Griselda. Do you recall last night Griselda? Learning the lessons nature taught us. Watching the fish up the lake, it was lovely till your mother caught us. Slipping through the wood in the dark of the night, calling to the moon out yonder O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light, and lead me to my Griselda. Moonflower find upon the window, give me a foothold for my finding. I've got a row boat on the lake. Fishing around and all the sun was shining. Slipping through the wood in the dark of the night, calling to the moon out yonder O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light, and lead me to my Griselda. I've got a jug of wine Griselda. Why must you waste your time in sorrow? Hold out your hand; have no fear. If we're caught, I'll marry you tomorrow. Slipping through the wood in the dark of the night, calling to the moon out yonder O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light, and lead me to my Griselda. Slipping through the wood in the dark of the night, calling to the moon out yonder O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light, and lead me to my Griselda. |

If the satcheting of gentlemen
Gives you grievance now and then What's needed are some memories of planing lakes those planing lakes will surely calm you down. Nothing frightens me more Than religion at my door I never answer panick knocking Falling down the stairs upon the law, What law? There's a law for everything And for Elephants that sing to keep The cows that agriculture won't allow Hanky Panky nohow Hanky Panky nohow Hanky Panky nohow ohhhhhhh There's a law for everything And for Elephants that sing to keep The cows that agriculture won't allow Hanky Panky nohow Hanky Panky nohow Hanky Panky nohow ohhhhhhh |

In the midnight moonlight i'll, be walkin a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seein this picture of you. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, And it can come as no surprise to me, with another guy. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine, Never could be mine, no matter how I try. You never walk alone, and you're forever talkin on the phone. I've tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, And it can come as no surprise to me, with another guy. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine, Never could be mine, no matter how I try. I'm still waitin for your heart, cause I'm sure that some day it's gonna start. You'll be mine to hold each day, but 'till then, this is all that I can say. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, And it can come as no surprise to me, with another guy. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine, Never could be mine, no matter how I try. |

I like to hold hands when we walk
I'm not averse to pillow talk But I prefer a private joke, the memory it evokes Because it's our punchline, it's our punchline That film we saw from the front row It means so much to us alone I love the wrinkled brow of anyone else around Because it's our punchline, it's our punchline And when we're out Then you say "it would appear" We laugh and laugh No one else hears, no one at all And when we're out Then you say "it would appear" We laugh and laugh No one else hears, no one at all If you want to be a romantic fool You don't have to say I love you Just say what's in your heart, non-sequitir or not And without even trying, find your punchline, find your punchline |

He calls me to the ocean
Takes me wandering through the street A restless imagination But for now, I move my feet on the ground 'Cause I feel like going home I can float above the ceiling I like drifting through the air I tend to lose my concentration But right now the clouds don't appeal to me I feel like going home Sometimes late at night While runnin' from the rain Running from the voices Filling up my brain Now I wish they'd leave me alone And let me be To go off on my own Let me be to go home I feel like going home |

I once held her in my arms
She said she would always stay But I was cruel and treated her like a fool I threw it all away One side's mountains in the palm of my hand Rivers that ran through everyday Now I must've been mad or I never knew what i had I threw it all away Love is all there is And it makes the world go round Love and only love it can't be denied No matter what you think about it You won't be able to live without it Take a tip from one who's tried So if you find someone Who gives you all of their love Take it to your heart Don't let it stray Because one thing is for certain You'll surely be hurting if you thow it all away if you thow it all away |

Saw you at a party
You asked me to dance Said music was great for dancing I don't really dance much But this time I did And I was glad that I did this time And the song said "Let's be happy" I was happy It never made me happy before And the song said "Don't be lonely" It makes me lonely I hear it and I'm lonely more and more Where I belong, where I belong I wasn't dressed right, I rarely am You told me that you didn't care I laughed as you wobbled in your platform shoes You laughed when I called Andrea true Anita Ward And the song said "Let's be happy" I was happy It never made me happy before And the song said "Don't be lonely" It makes me lonely I hear it and I'm lonely more and more Where I belong, where I belong And the song said "Let's be happy" I was happy It never made me happy before It asked "Do you remember?" And I remember, remember like it wasn't long ago And the song said "Don't be lonely" It makes me lonely I hear it and I'm lonely more and more Where I belong, where I belong |

There's no place I want to be Lose our way and sit side by side Passing time so carelessly, so carelessly Along the shore, a quiet night Take off our shoes and watch the sky Against the moon the clouds go by I hold your hand, you start to cry Lost in our dreams of summer love The only place I want to be Find a spot and hope no one tells Time goes by unendingly, unendingly |

The beer was talking and it seemed a little bored
Suggested walking for awhile Thought it'd be dramatic if we walked all night But I got tired, so I came home Lay back on the couch to watch TV The drunks were talking, wasn't long before I grew bored, Lewis didn't feel the same I guess they spoke in tongues that wrapped around his brain, He didn't mind the feeling at all Remember me sometime when I am far away And I will try and do the same Maybe just like you some day I will forget Every hit song America ever had Like this is for all the Lonely People, And Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, And I've been to a desert on a horse without a name |

Took a walk alone last night, slept inside your head
It was raining hard again, crawled back into bed Tried to catch up to you but you moved too fast Thought about a million things, fell asleep at last Got up again last night, tore all over town Skidding tires, screeching brakes barely make a sound We were on a winding road going 65 Slid along an icy stretch, made it back alive Little eyes are open but they don't see very far You can only hurt the ones you love, not the ones you're thinking of Little eyes are open but they're sinking back again Don't you know you're sleeping much too long, wake up little eyes Moving but not gaining any ground Climbing up the escalator as it takes you down Last night I heard this sound echoed everywhere Like a buzzing amplifier burning through the air It's still raining hard, you said, have you any clue? Is it ever gonna stop? I guess that's up to you Little eyes are open but they don't see very far You can only hurt the ones you love, not the ones you're thinking of Little eyes are open but they're sinking back again Don't you know you're sleeping much too long, wake up little eyes |
