Day after day, I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there

When there's no gettin' over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face, a lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile

When there's no gettin' over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Trouble seems to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near, my love

If all my friends have forgotten half their promises They're not unkind, just
hard to find
One look at you and I know
That I Could learn to live without the rest
I've found the best

When there's no gettin' over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

-I Won't Last A Day Without You from 1972A Song for You by The Carpenters

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view but its not sane, its not sane

I just want someone to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made

And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that theres no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
It rips my life away but its a great escape...escape...escape

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don't like my point of view
Ya think that I'm insane
Its not sane... its not sane

I just want someone to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made

• 06. I'm So Happy When You're Near
  • I'm so sad when you're away
    I've been happy almost every day
    Now that you're here to stay
    
    But when you have to leave
    Then I'll start to grieve
    
    Every week you have to go
    Every time it's a different road
    I never know what to do
    I'm so lonesome without you
    
    When you're far away
    You are always in my dreams
    And when you're home to stay
    We make a perfect team
    
    It's so hard to have to wait for you
    To ride into the gate
    But when you get there
    We have many news and feelings to share
    
    I know it has to be
    I know it can't be changed
    But sometimes I think we are
    Completely insane
    
    If we could see each other more
    It wouldn't be so bad
    If we could only find the open door
    We wouldn't be so sad
    
    So until we find the right door
    You'll have to leave again
    And once more both our lives will be
    Very dim
• 07. Things I Wonder
  • There are many things I wonder
    There are many things I don't
    It seems as though the things I wonder most
    Are the things I never find out
    
    I wonder about the stars above
    I wonder about the birds that fly
    I wonder about your love
    But most of all I wonder why you make me cry
    
    I wonder, I wonder
    I wonder why we have to say goodbye
    There are some things I don't understan d
    There are some things I do
    
    But one thing I don't understand
    Is why we have to be so blue
    I understand why you feel the way you do
    Because I feel the same way too
    
    I wonder why our minds drift astray
    I wonder why life goes on this way
    I wonder why we have to part
    We both know it'll break our heart
    
    There are many things I wonder
    There are many things I don't
    I'll be glad when I find all these things out
    But until I do things won't change with me and you
    
    With me and you things will stay the same
    With me and you things won't change
    With me and you things will be the same
• 08. Sweet Thing
  • You're such a sweet thing
    (Sweet thing, sweet thing)
    But you can be so mean
    You're such a sweet thing
    (Sweet thing, sweet thing)
    You used to make me dream
    
    But then there's times when you are very different
    I just don't understand
    How a minute you can be so mean
    The next minute so grand
    
    You used to make me happy
    Now you make me sad
    You've told me many lies
    I've never told you one
    
    You think you'll fool me
    (Fool me, fool me)
    So go and have your fun
    I'll play it cool and go along with you
    
    You ran around and think that I don't know
    You must think you put on quite a show
    But you're turn's coming
    (Coming, coming)
    
    There'll be some girl who will hurt you
    (Hurt you, hurt you)
    The way you have hurt me
    And then you'll be the one who's sad and blue
    And then you'll see how you made me feel
    
    In the end you will find
    I was only trying to be a friend
    In the end you will see
    That I'm not the fool
    But it's you, yes, you're the fool
    
    Then maybe you'll consider others
    And try to be true
    If you did that in the first place
    You wouldn't be so blue
    
    You were such a sweet thing
    (Sweet thing, sweet thing)
    But now you are very mean
    You were such a sweet thing
    (Sweet thing, sweet thing)
    But now you'll never make me dream
    
    You'll never make me dream

  • Sometimes I feel funny
    And bottled up inside
    Then for some reason
    I just start to cry
    
    Sometimes I feel happy
    And overflowing with joy
    Then things change
    And I start to worry
    
    Why do I feel the way I feel?
    Why do I do the things I do?
    Why do I feel the way I feel?
    
    Sometimes I worry over nothing at all

    Why does anyone have to run?
    Don't they know we have a savior?
    That's what God told us, guys

You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small

shining through

and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

True Colors from 1986True Colors by Cyndi Lauper

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have -

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done

And hide her away from the rest of the world

- Girls Just Want to Have Fun from 1983She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback to warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, i can't hear
What you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall i will catch you i'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out the time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall i will catch you i'll be waiting
Time after time
If you fall i will catch you i'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Ill be awake and Ill be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past we wont reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

All through the night
Stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see

We have no past we wont reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile

We have no past we wont reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks

• 04. Don't Cry
  • Talk to me softly
    There's something in your eyes
    Don't hang your head in sorrow
    And please don't cry

• 05. Perfect Crime
  • Kickin' back in the shadows
    Got no need for the light
    Who's sorry now old timer
    Look at how you've spent your life
    Scroungin' for change
    To put some money in your pocket
    My how scratch does burn
    Laughin' at the suckers as you pissed it away
    
    But I got the time and I got the muscle
    I got the need to lay it all on the line
    I ain't afraid of your smoke screen hustle
    It's a perfect crime
    Goddamn it it's a perfect crime
    Motherfucker it's a perfect crime
    I said it's perfect
    
    Keep the demons down
    And drag the skeletons out
    I got a blind man followin' me in chains
    I said he's fun to watch
    When the world has stopped
    An I think he's got somethin' to say
    "You wanna fuck with me, don't fuck with me-
    'Cause I'm what you'll be
    So don't fuck with me
    If you had better sense
    You'd step aside from the bad side of me
    Don't fuck wit'da bad side o' me
    Stay away from the bad side o' me
    Don't fuck wit'da bad side"
    
    T MINUS 1:09 AND COUNTING
    
    Ostracized but that's all right
    I was thinkin' about somethin' myself
    
    1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
    
    Call on everybody who's got last rites
    Said it's better
    If you locked 'em away
    Runnin' through the visons
    At the speed of light
    Won't ya let me be
    Motherfucker just let me be
    Goddamn it better let me be
    Don't ya know ya better let me be...
    
    Perfect crime
    Goddamn it it's a perfect crime
    Motherfucker it's a perfect crime
    Don't cha know
    It's a perfect crime

• 10. November Rain
  • hen I look into your eyes
    I can see a love restrained
    But darlin' when I hold you
    Don't you know I feel the same
    
    'Cause nothin' lasts forever
    And we both know hearts can change
    And it's hard to hold a candle
    In the cold November rain
    
    We've been through this auch a long long time
    Just tryin' to kill the pain
    
    But lovers always come and lovers always go
    An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
    Walking away
    
    If we could take the time
    To lay it on the line
    I could rest my head
    Just knowin' that you were mine
    All mine
    So if you want to love me
    Then darlin' don't refrain
    Or I'll just end up walkin'
    In the cold November rain
    
    Do you need some time... on your own
    Do you need some time... all alone
    Everybody needs some time... on their own
    Don't you know you need some time... all alone
    
    I know it's hard to keep an open heart
    When even friends seem out to harm you
    But if you could heal a broken heart
    Wouldn't time be out to charm you
    
    Sometimes I need some time... on my own
    Sometimes I need some time... all alone
    Everybody needs some time... on their own
    Don't you know you need some time... all alone
    
    And when your fears subside
    And shadows still remain
    I know that you can love me
    When there's no one left to blame
    So never mind the darkness
    We still can find a way
    'Cause nothin' lasts forever
    Even cold November rain
    
    Don't ya think that you need somebody
    Don't ya think that you need someone
    Everybody needs somebody
    You're not the only one
    You're not the only one
• 11. The Garden
  • WYou know you're all alone
    Your friends they aren't at home
    Everybody's gone to the garden
    As you look into the trees
    You can look but you don't see
    The flowers seem to tease you at the garden
    Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care
    What's it with you man, and this garden
    
    Turned into my worst phobia,
    A crazy man's utopia
    If you're lost no one can show ya,
    But it sure was glad to know ya
    Only poor boys take a chance,
    On the garden's song and dance,
    Feel her flowers as they wrap around,
    But only smart boys do without
    
    You can find it all inside
    No need to wrestle with your pride
    No you ain't losin' your mind
    You're just in the garden
    They can lead you to yourself
    Or you can throw it on the shelf
    But you know you can look inside
    For the garden
    
    I wasn't really scared
    Lost my virginity there,
    To a gypsy with blond hair
    But now no one seems to care
    Like a mouse inside a maze
    Wandering round 4 daze
    With a smile upon my face,
    I never wanna leave this place
    Only poor boys take a chance,
    On the garden's song and dance,
    Feel her flowers as they wrap around,
    But only smart boys do without
    Turned into my worst phobia,
    A crazy man's utopia
    If you're lost no one can show ya,
    But it sure was glad to know ya
    Bye bye
    So long, bye bye
    It's glad to know ya
    Bye bye
    Bye bye
    Aw...so long
• 12. Garden Of Eden
  • It's a critical solution
    And the East Coast got the blues
    It's a mass of confusion
    Like the lies they sell to you
    
    You got a glass-jawed toothache
    Of a mental disease
    And they be running round back
    See them line up on their knees
    'Cause the kiss ass sycophants
    Throwing penance at your feet
    
    When they got nowhere to go
    Watch them come in off the streets
    While they're banging out front
    Inside they're slamming to the crunch
    Go on and throw me to the lions
    And the whole damn screaming bunch
    'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs 'R' everywhere you turn
    Tell me how a generation's ever supposed to learn
    This fire is burning and it's out of control
    It's not a problem you can stop
    It's rock n' roll
    
    I read it on a wall
    It went straight to my head
    It said "Dance to the tension of a world on edge"
    We got racial violence
    And who'll cast the first stone
    And sex is used anyway it can be
    Sometimes when I look out
    It's hard to see the day
    It's a feeling you can have it
    It's not mine to take away
    
    Lost in the Garden of Eden
    Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    And there's no one's going to believe this
    But we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    This fire is burning and it's out of control
    It's not a problem you can stop
    It's rock n' roll
    Suck on that
    
    Looking through this point of view
    There's no way I'm going to fit in
    Don't you tell me what my eyes see
    Don't you tell me who to believe in
    I ain't superstitious
    But I know when something's wrong
    I've been dragging my heels
    With a b**ch called hope
    Let the undercurrent drag me along
    
    Lost in the Garden of Eden
    Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    And there's no one's going to believe this
    But we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    
    Most organized religions make
    A mockery of humanity
    Our governments are dangerous
    And out of control
    The Garden of Eden is just another graveyard
    Said if they had someone to buy it
    Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul
    
    This fire is burning and it's out of control
    It's not a problem you can stop
    It's rock n' roll
    Lost in the Garden of Eden
    (And we ain't talking about no poison apple or some missing rib you hear)
    Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    And there's no one's going to believe this
    Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    This fire is burning and it's out of control
    It's not a problem you can stop
    It's rock n' roll
• 13. Don't Damn Me
  • Don't damn me
    When I speak a piece of my mind
    'Cause silence isn't golden
    When I'm holding it inside
    'Cause I've been where I have been
    An I've seen what I have seen
    I put the pen to the paper
    'Cause it's all a part of me
    
    Be it a song or casual conversation
    To hold my tongue speaks
    Of quiet reservations
    Your words once heard
    They can place you in a faction
    My words may disturb
    But at least there's a reaction
    
    Sometimes I wanna kill
    Sometimes I wanna die
    Sometimes I wanna destroy
    Sometimes I wanna cry
    Sometimes I could get even
    Sometimes I could give up
    Sometimes I could give
    Sometimes I never give a fuck
    
    It's only for a while
    I hope you understand
    I never wanted this to happen
    Didn't want to be a man
    So I hid inside my world
    I took what I could find
    I cried when I was lonely
    I fell down when I was blind
    
    But don't damn me
    When I speak a piece of my mind
    'Cause silence isn't golden
    When I'm holding it inside
    'Cause I've been where I have been
    An I've seen what I have seen
    I put the pen to the paper
    'Cause it's all a part of me
    
    How can I ever satisfy you
    An how can I ever make you see
    That deep inside we're all somebody
    An it don't matter who you wanna be
    But now I gotta smile
    I hope you comprehend
    For this man can say it happened
    'Cause this child has been condemned
    So I stepped into your world
    I kicked you in the mind
    An I'm the only witness
    To the nature of my crime
    
    But look at what we've done
    To the innocent and young
    Whoa listen to who's talking
    'Cause we're not the only ones
    The trash collected by the eyes
    And dumped into the brain
    Said it tears into our conscious thoughts
    You tell me who's to blame
    
    I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
    An I know you don't wanna hear me deny
    That your satisfaction lies in your illussions
    But your delusions are yours and not mine
    We take for granted we know the whole story
    We judge a book by its cover
    And read what we want
    Between selected lines
    
    Don't hail me
    An don't idolize the ink
    Or I've failed in my intentions
    Can you find the missing link
    Your only validation is living your own life
    
    Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
    So I send this song to the offended
    I said what I meant and I've never pretended
    As so many others do intending just to please
    If I damned your point of view
    Could you turn the other cheek
    
    But don't damn me
    When I speak a piece of my mind
    'Cause silence isn't golden
    When I'm holding it inside
    'Cause I've been where I have been
    An I've seen what I have seen
    I put the pen to the paper
    'Cause it's all a part of me
    Don't damn me
    I said don't damn me
    I said don't hail me
    Don't damn me

• 15. Dead Horse
  • Sick of this life
    Not that you'd care
    I'm
    not the only one with
    Whom these feelings I share
    
    Nobody understands,
    Quite why we're here
    We're searchin' for answers
    That never appear
    
    But maybe if I looked real hard I'd
    I'd see your tryin' too
    To understand this life,
    That we're all goin' through
    (Then when she said she was gonna like wreck my car...
    I didn't know what to do)
    
    Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
    An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
    I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
    It may sound funny but you'd think by now
    I'd be smilin'
    I guess some things never change
    Never change
    
    I met an old cowboy
    I saw the look in his eyes
    Somethin' tells me he's been here before
    'Cause experience makes you wise
    I was only a small child
    When the thought first came to me
    That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
    That brought back the devil in me
    
    Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
    An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
    I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
    It may sound funny but you'd think by now
    I'd be smilin'
    I guess some things never change
    Never change
    
    I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
    Still wet behind the ears
    I been around this track a couple o' times
    But now the dust is startin' to clear
    Oh yeah!!!
    
    Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse

• 16. Coma
  • Hey you caught me in a coma
    And I don't think I wanna
    Ever come back to this... world again
    Kinda like it in a coma
    'Cause no one's ever gonna
    Oh, make me come back to this... world again
    Now I feel as if I'm floating away
    I can't feel all the pressure
    And I like it this way
    But my body's callin'
    My body's callin'
    Won't ya come back to this... world again
    Suspended deep in a sea of black
    I've got the light at the end
    I've got the bones on the mast
    Well I've gone sailin',
    I've gone sailin'
    I could leave so easily
    While friends are calling back to me
    I said they're
    They're leaving it all up to me
    When all I needed was clarity
    And someone to tell me
    What the fuck is going on
    Goddamn it !
    
    Slippin' farther an farther away
    It's a miracle how long we can stay
    In a world our minds created
    In a world that's full of shit
    
    Help me
    Help me
    Help me
    Help me
    Bastard
    
    Please understand me
    I'm climbin' through the wreackage
    Of all my twisted dreams
    But this cheap investigation just
    Can't stifle all my screams
    And I'm waitin' at the crossroads
    Waiting for you
    Waiting for you
    Where are you
    
    No one's gonna bother me anymore
    No one's gonna mess with my head no more
    I can't understand what all the fightin's for
    But it's so nice here down off the shore
    I wish you could see this
    'Cause there's nothing to see
    It's peaceful here and it's fine with me
    Not like the world where I used to live
    I never really wanted to live
    
    Zap him again
    Zap the son of a bitch again
    
    Ya live your life like it's a coma
    So won't you tell me why we'd wanna
    With all the reasons you give it's
    It's kinda hard to believe
    But who am I to tell you that I've
    Seen any reason why you should stay
    Maybe we'd be better off
    Without you anyway
    You got a one way ticket
    On your last chance ride
    Gotta one way ticket
    To your suicide
    Gotta one way ticket
    An there's no way out alive
    An all this crass communication
    That has left you in the cold
    Isn't much for consolation
    When you feel so weak and old
    But if home is where the heart is
    Then there's stories to be told
    No you don't need a doctor
    No one else can heal your soul
    
    Got your mind in submission
    Got your life on the line
    But nobody pulled the trigger
    They just stepped aside
    They be down by the water
    While you watch 'em waving goodbye
    They be callin' in the morning
    They be hangin' on the phone
    They be waiting for an answer
    But you know nobody's home
    And when the bell's stopped ringing
    It was nobody's fault but your own
    There were always ample warnings
    There were always subtle signs
    And you would have seen it comin'
    But we gave you too much time
    And when you said
    That no one's listening
    Why'd your best friend drop a dime
    Sometimes we get so tired of waiting
    For a way to spend our time
    An "It's so easy" to be social
    "It's so easy" to be cool
    Yeah it's easy to be hungry
    When you ain't got shit to lose
    And I wish that I could help you
    With what you hope to find
    But I'm still out here waiting
    Watching reruns of my life
    When you reach the point of breaking
    Know it's gonna take some time
    To heal the broken memories
    That another man would need
    Just to survive

• 01. Civil War
  • What we've got here is failure to
    communicate.
    Some men you just can't reach...
    So, you get what we had here last week,
    which is the way he wants it!
    Well, he gets it!
    N' I don't like it any more than you men.' *
    
    Look at your young men fighting
    Look at your women crying
    Look at your young men dying
    The way they've always done before
    
    Look at the hate we're breeding
    Look at the fear we're feeding
    Look at the lives we're leading
    The way we've always done before
    
    My hands are tied
    The billions shift from side to side
    And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
    For the love of God and our human rights
    And all these things are swept aside
    By bloody hands time can't deny
    And are washed away by your genocide
    And history hides the lies of our civil wars
    
    D'you wear a black armband
    When they shot the man
    Who said 'Peace could last forever'
    And in my first memories
    They shot Kennedy
    I went numb when I learned to see
    So I never fell for Vietnam
    We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
    That you can't trust freedom
    When it's not in your hands
    When everybody's fightin'
    For their promised land
    
    And
    I don't need your civil war
    It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    I don't need your civil war
    
    Look at the shoes your filling
    Look at the blood we're spilling
    Look at the world we're killing
    The way we've always done before
    Look in the doubt we've wallowed
    Look at the leaders we've followed
    Look at the lies we've swallowed
    And I don't want to hear no more
    
    My hands are tied
    For all I've seen has changed my mind
    But still the wars go on as the years go by
    With no love of God or human rights
    'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
    By bloody hands of the hypnotized
    Who carry the cross of homicide
    And history bears the scars of our civil wars
    
    'WE PRACTICE SELECTIVE ANNIHILATION OF MAYORS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
    FOR EXAMPLE TO CREATE A VACUUM
    THEN WE FILL THAT VACUUM
    AS POPULAR WAR ADVANCES
    PEACE IS CLOSER' **
    
    I don't need your civil war
    It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    And I don't need your civil war
    I don't need your civil war
    I don't need your civil war
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    I don't need your civil war

    You don't just step inside to 14 years
    So hard to keep my ouwn head... thats what I say

    Sure put me straight
    Don't get back 14 years

    Now that I'm starting to learn, I feel I'm growing old,
    
    'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me,
    Old pictures that I'll always see,
    Time just fades the pages in my book of memories,
    
    Prayers in my pocket, and no hand in destiny,
    I'll keep on moving along with no time to plant my feet,
    
    'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me,

    And everybody warms themselves to a different fire
    When sometimes we get burned, You'd think sometime we'd learn
    The one you love is the one That should take you higher
    You ain't got no one You better go back out and find her
    
    Just like children hiding in a closet, Can't tell what's going on outside,
    Sometimes we're so far off the beaten track, we'll get taken for a ride,
    By a parlor trick or some words of wit, a hidden hand up a sleeve,
    To think the one you love could hurt you now is a little hard to believe,
    But everybody, darling, sometimes bites the hand that feeds,
    
    Ow,
    
    When I look around, everybody always brings me down,
    Well is it them or me, well I just can't see but there ain't no peace to be found,
    But if someone really cared, well they'd take the time to spare,
    A moment to try and understand another one's despair,

    Would you give it to me if I fit your needs like when we both knew we had it,
    But now the damage's done and we're back out on the run,

• 09. Locomotive
  • Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness,
    Yeah, I'll find a way to cure the pain,
    If I said that you're my friend and our love would never end,
    How long before I had your trust again,
    
    I opened up the doors when it was cold outside,
    Hoping that you'd find your own way in,
    But how
    can I protect you or try not to neglect you,
    When you won't take the love I have to give,
    
    I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall,
    I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all,
    But oh, the taste is never so sweet as what you'd believe it is,
    Well, I guess it never is,
    It's these prejudiced illusions,
    That pump the blood to the heart of the biz,
    
    You know I never thought that it could take so long,
    You know I never knew how to be strong,
    Yeah, I let you shape me but I feel as though you raped me,
    'Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs,
    
    So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside,
    Seems somehow I've found the will to live,
    But how can I forget you or try not to reject you,
    When we both know it takes time to forgive,
    
    Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago,
    You know I'd like to hurt you but my conscience always tells me no,
    You could sell your body on the street,
    To anyone whom you might meet,
    Who'd love to try and get inside,
    And bust your innocence open wide,
    
    'Cause my baby's got a locomotive,
    My baby's gone off the track,

    Gonna have some fun with my frustration,
    Gonna watch the big screen in my head,
    I'd rather take a detour 'cause this road ain't getting clearer,

    Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one,
    Better tame that boy for he's a man,
    Sweetheart don't make me laugh you's getting too big for your pants,
    And I's think maybe you should cut out while you can,
    
    You can use you illusion, let it take you where it may,
    We live and learn and then sometimes it's best to walk away,
    Me, I'm just here hanging on,
    It's my only place to stay at least,
    For now anyway,
    I've worked too hard for my illusions,
    Just to throw them all away,
    
    (Guitar Solo)
    
    I'm taking time for quiet consolation,
    In passing by this love that's passed away,
    I know it's never easy so why should you believe me,
    When I've always got so many things to say,
    
    Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made,
    'Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged,
    You know I tried to wake you I mean how long could it take you,
    To open up your eyes and turn the page,,
    
    Kindness is a treasure and it's one towards me you've seldom shown,
    So I'll say it for good measure to all the ones like you I've known,
    You know I'd like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red,
    'Cause love to me's a two way street and all I really want is peace,
    
    But my baby's got a locomotive,
    My baby's gone off the track,
    My baby's got a locomotive,
    Got to peel the bitch off my back,
    I know it looks like I'm insane,
    Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no,
    
    (Guitar Solo)
    
    Affection is a blessing, Can you find it in your sordid heart?,
    I tried to keep this thing together but the tremor tore my pad apart,
    Yeah, I know it's hard to face,
    When all we've worked for's gone to waste,
    But you're such a stupid woman and I'm such a stupid man,
    But love like time's got its own plans,
    
    'Cause my baby's got a locomotive,
    My baby's gone off the track,
    My baby's got a locomotive,
    Got to peel the bitch off my back,
    I know it looks like I'm insane,
    Take a closer look I'm not to blame,
    
    Yeah,
    If love is blind I guess,
    I'll buy myself a cane,
    
    Love's so strange,
    Love's so strange,
    Love's so strange,
    Love's so strange,
    Love's so strange,
    Love's so strange,
    Love's so strange,
    Love's so strange,
    Love's so strange,
    Love's so strange,
    Love's so strange,
• 10. So Fine
  • How could she look so fine
    How could it be she might be mine
    How could she be so cool
    I've been taken for a fool
    So many times
    It's a story of a man
    Who works as hard as he can
    Just to be a man
    who stands on his own
    But the book always burns
    As the story takes it turn
    An leaves a broken man
    How could she be so cool
    How could she be so fine
    I owe a favor to a friend
    My friends they always come through for me- Yeah
    It's a story of a man
    Who works as hard as he can
    Just to be a man
    who stands on his own
    But the book always burns
    As the story takes it turn
    An leaves a broken man
    If you could only live my life
    You could see the difference you make to me- To me
    I'd look right up at night
    And all I'd see was darkness
    Now I see the stars alright
    I wanna reach right up and grab one for you
    When the lights went down in your house
    Yeah that made me happy
    The sweat I make for you
    Yeah...I think you know where that comes from
    
    Well I'd look right up at night
    And all I'd see was darkness
    Now I see the stars alright
    I wanna reach right up and grab one for you
    When the lights went down in your house
    Yeah that made me happy
    The sweat I make for you
    I think you know where that comes from
    
    How could she look so good(So good)
    How could she be so fine
    How could she be so cool
    How could it be she might be mine
• 11. Estranged
  • When you're talkin to yourself
    And nobody's home
    You can fool yourself
    You came in this world alone
    Alone (Whisper)
    
    So nobody ever told you baby
    How it was gonna be
    So what'll happen to you baby
    Guess we'll have to wait and see
    ONE, TWO
    
    Old at heart but I'm only 28
    And I'm much too young
    To let love break my heart
    Young at heart but it's getting much too late
    To find ourselves so far apart
    
    I don't know how you're s'posed
    To find me lately
    An what more could tou ask from me
    How could you say that I never needed you
    When you took everything
    Said you took everything from me
    
    Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
    When no one I know can seem to help me now
    Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
    If I'm to find my own way out
    
    Still talkin' to myself
    and nobody's home
    Alone (Whisper)
    
    So nobody ever told us baby
    How it was gonna be
    So what'll happen to us baby
    Guess we'll have to wait and see
    
    When I find out all the reasons
    Maybe I'll find another way
    Find another day
    With all the changing seasons of my life
    Maybe I'll get it right next time
    An now that you've been broken down
    Got your head out of the clouds
    You're back down on the ground
    And you don't talk so loud
    An you don't walk so proud
    Any more, and what for
    
    Well I jumped into the river
    Too many times to make it home
    I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
    If it doesn't show give it time
    To read between the lines
    'Cause I see the storm getting closer
    And the waves they get so high
    Seems everything We've ever known's here
    Why must it drift away and die
    
    I'll never find anyone to replace you
    Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time- Oh this time
    Without you
    
    I knew the storm was getting closer
    And all my friends said I was high
    But everything we've ever known's here
    I never wanted it to die
• 12. You Could Be Mine
  • I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit to burn,
    And I'll rip your heart in two,
    And I'll leave you lying on the bed,
    I'll be out the door before you wake,
    It's nothing new to you,
    'Cause I think we've seen that movie too,
    
    'Cause you could be mine,
    But you're
    way out of line,
    With your bitch slap rapping and your cocaine tongue,
    You get nothing done,
    I said you could be mine,
    
    Now holidays come and then they go,
    It's nothing new today,
    Collect another memory,
    When I come home late at night,
    Don't ask me where I've been,
    Just count your stars, I'm home again,
    
    'Cause you could be mine,
    But you're way out of line,
    With your bitch slap rapping and your cocaine tongue,
    You get nothing done,
    I said you could be mine,
    
    You could be mine,
    You could be mine,
    You could be mine,
    You could be mine,
    You could be mine, mine, mine, mine,
    
    You've gone sketching too many times,
    Oooo why don't you give it a rest?,
    Why... must you find,
    Another reason to cry?,
    
    (Guitar Solo)
    
    While you're breaking down my back and I been racking out my brain,
    It don't matter how we make it 'cause it always ends the same,
    You can push it for more mileage but your flaps are wearing thin,
    And I could sleep on it till morning but this nightmare never ends,
    Don't forget to call my lawyers with ridiculous demands,
    And you can take the pity so far but it's more than I can stand,
    'Cause this couchtrip's getting older, tell me how long has it been,
    'Cause five years is forever and you haven't grown up yet,
    
    'Cause you could be mine,
    But you're way out of line,
    With your bitch slap rapping and your cocaine tongue,
    You get nothing done,
    I said you could be... you should be...,
    You could be mine,
    
    You could be mine,
    You could be mine,
    You could be mine,
    
    You could be mine,
    You could be mine,
    You could be mine,
    You could be mine,
    You could be mine... yeah
• 13. Don't Cry (Alternative Lyrics)
  • If we could see tomorrow
    What of your plans
    No one can live in sorrow
    Ask all your friends
    Times that you took in stride
    They're back in demand
    I was the one who's washing
    Blood off your hands
    
    Don't you cry tonight
    I still love you baby
    Don't you cry tonight
    Don't you cry tonight
    There's a heaven above you baby
    And don't you cry tonight
    
    I know the things you wanted
    They're not what you have
    With all the people talkin'
    It's drivin' you mad
    If I was standin' by you
    How would you feel
    Knowing your love's decided
    And all love is real
    
    An don't you cry tonight
    Don't you cry tonight
    Don't you cry tonight
    There's a heaven above you baby
    And don't you cry tonight
    
    I thought I could live in your world
    As years all went by
    With all the voices I've heard
    Something has died
    And when you're in need of someone
    My heart won't deny you
    So many seem so lonely
    With no one left to cry to baby
    
    An don't you cry tonight
    An don't you cry tonight
    An don't you cry tonight
    There's a heaven above you baby
    And don't you cry
    Don't you ever cry
    Don't you cry tonight
    Baby maybe someday
    Don't you cry
    Don't you ever cry
    Don't you cry
    Tonight
• 14. My world
  • You wanna step into my world,
    It's a sociopsychotic state of bliss,
    You've been delayed in the real world,
    How many times have you hit and missed?,
    
    Your cat-scan shows disfiguration,
    I wanna laugh myself to death,
    With a misfired synapse with a bent configuration,
    I'll hold the line while you gasp for breath,
    
    You wanna talk to me, (So talk to me)
    You wanna talk to me, (So talk to me)
    You wanna talk to me, (So talk to me)
    You wanna talk to me, (You can't talk to me)
    You wanna talk to me, (You don't understand your sex)
    You wanna talk to me, (You ain't been mindfucked yet)
    Let's do it,
    Let's do it,
    Let's do it, (Oh, my distorted smile)
    
    Guess what I'm doing now

Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!

- Holly in Breakfast at Tiffany's

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world;
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end,
Waiting 'round the bend,
My huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

- Moon River from 1961Breakfast at Tiffany's by Audrey Hepburn
