Sheryl Crow - Detours (2008) by Sheryl Crow (보컬) on maniadb.com

Daddy’s in the hallway hanging pictures on the wall Mama’s in the kitchen making casseroles for all My brother came home yesterday From somewhere far away He doesn’t look like I remember He just stares off into space He must have seen some ugly things He cannot seem to say Oh God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess Got a job in town selling insurance on the phone With Robert and Teresa and two con men from back home But everyone I call up doesn’t have the time to chat Everybody is so busy doing this and doing that Something has gone missing and it makes me kind of sad God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess I heard about the day that two skyscrapers came down Firemen and policemen people came from all around The smoke covered the city and the body count did rise The president spoke words of comfort with teardrops in his eyes Then, he led us as a nation into a war all based on lies Oh God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess

I walked the heat of
seven hills
Endless talk of losing wills
Great highways in a
constant melt
Men and women and children
all have overbuilt
Buying bread and
paying for none
Creatures of a waning sun
Teacher's hands are overrun
Clowns and gypsies have all
but gone
Shine over Babylon
Shine over Babylon
Freedoms etched on
Sacred pillars
Hollow stones of
mindless filler
Can lead to
madman oil drillers
Won't be long before we
all are killers
Little boy lost
way up the mountains
Cities drowning
under boiling fountains
I dreamed of chilly
sunlit days
I was trembling in a
golden haze
Shine over Babylon
Shine over Babylon
We celebrate the golden cow
Praise the bloated
bank account
If there's a god
where is he now
The precipice is
slipping further out
Sanskrit message
from the mounts
Leave your possessions
hope abounds
There's nothing here
for you to cry about
We're all just followers
from here on out
I take the stage
I walk the planks
I sing these songs with
little thanks
I wait for shouts from
crazy cranks
I stand amidst the
brown shirt ranks
I found my way to Alexandria
Where gurus
bubble up on Ganges
Scavengers
they run up and hand ya
All the junk that
should have damned ya
Shine over Babylon
Shine over Babylon

If everything in
life was free
You'd float in
your own reverie
The things that you
can't seem to see
Seal the gap
between you and me
Shine over Babylon
Shine over Babylon
Shine over Babylon
Shine over Babylon

One Two One two three

She got a shack
Floating down
the Pontchartrain
With the water rolling in
gotta swim the
levees start to crack
Another day
Another dollar
down the drain
You go to town No one's
around Cause if you drown
there ain't no hope for
coming back
It ain't no big thing
if you lose your faith
They kinda like to
keep you in your place
You never know what might
be coming your way
Oh everybody
Devil take your money
Money's got no hold on me
Oh oh everybody's
making love cause
love is free
You go to church
and pray to God for
no more rain
Cadillac A paper sack
well hey there Jack
you want some bourbon
for the pain
Hey tambourine
Ain't no rhythm on the street
With the voodoo
What do you do
when the radio
just plays on anyway
Those crazy fingers
in your jelly jar
They'll jack your money
while you sleep in you car
They got the karma
they ain't getting too far
Oh everybody
Devil take your money
My money's got no hold on me
Oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free
Everybody come together
Everybody come together
Everybody come together
Everybody come together
Oh everybody
Devil take your money
Money got no hold on me
Oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free
Oh everybody
Devil take your money
Money got no hold of me
oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free
Love is free
Love is free

Walking down the
street of dreams
Eating from the
fruits of life
Tripping out on the
smallest things
Trying to reach the light
trying to reach the light
Pick the key
up off the floor
Put the key into the lock
Turn the lock
open up the door
Look at all you've got
look at all you've got
All the sinners and saints
All you creatures of faith
Don't need to be afraid
If you know what I mean
Let me hear you say
Peace be upon us
Peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Peace be upon us
Peace be upon us
Be upon us all

If we speak in

The world will turn
even when we're gone
The earth will host
many souls to come
Who will write the history
tales of Wisemen villains
and innocent ones
All you shepherds and sheep
When you wake from your sleep
It will be a new day
If you know what I mean
Let me hear you say
Peace be upon us
Peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Peace be upon us
Peace be upon us
Be upon us all
As salaamu alykum
Wa alaykum assalaam
As salaam alykum
Wa alaykum assalaam

meek shall in
her it the earth
Peace be upon us
Peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Peace be upon us
Peace be upon us
Be upon us all
As salaamu alykum
Wa alaykum assalaam
As salaam alykum
Wa alaykum assalaam

As salaamu alykum
Wa alaykum assalaam
Peace be upon us
Peace be upon us
Be upon us all

Way back in the year of 2017 The sun was growing hotter And oil was way beyond its peak When crazy Hector Johnson broke into a refinery And the black gold started flowing Just like Boston tea It was the summer of the riots And London suffered sweltering heat And the gangs of Mini Coopers Took the battle to the streets But when the creed was handed down For no more trucks and no more cars They threw cans of petrol through the windows At Scotland Yard Gasoline Will be free, will be free Gasoline Will be free, will be free When the Mounties stormed the palace Of the Saudi family They held them up for ransom Without disturbing their high tea But their getaway was shaky They stalled in the Riyadh streets 'Cause you can't make it very far when your tank is on empty Final can of gasoline was loaded on a truck And driven through the streets of Agra to the palace aqueduct You see, all the majesty of worship that once adorned these fatal halls Was the target for the angry As they blew up the Taj Mahal Gasoline Will be free, will be free Gasoline will be free, will be free Gary ran a market way down in Tennessee Where all the farmers got together and talked about this great country But when the government turned its back on the farming man, what I hear They dragged the pumps out of the ground With a big vintage John Deere I've got soldiers on my payroll Standing guard on my front drive Snipers on the roof poised at those Who didn't want me alive 'Cause they audited my taxes My family under threat 'Cause I've got a message and a megaphone And I'll scream it to the death Gasoline Will be free, will be free Gasoline Will be free, will be free You got the farms in Argentina Making fuel from sugar cane You got the bastards in Washington Afraid of popping that greed vein 'Cause the money's in the pipeline And the pipeline's running dry And we'll be the last to recognize Where there's shit there's always flies

If you feel you wanna fight me There's a chain around your mind When something is holding you tightly What is real is so hard to find Losing babies to genocide Oh where's the meaning in that plight Can't you see that we've really bought into Every word they proclaimed and every lie, oh Refrain1: If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads And into our hearts If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads And into our hearts Someone's feeling on your anger Someone's been whispering in your ear You've seen his face before You've been played before These aren't the words you need to hear Through the dawn of darkness blindly You have blood upon your hands All the world will treat you kindly But only the heart can understand, oh understand Refrain2: (x2) If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads And into our hearts Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your tears and look to your heart Every man is his own prophet Oh every prophet just a man I say all the women stand up, say yes to themselves Teach your children best you can Let every man bow to the best in himself We're not killing any more We're the wisest ones, everybody listen 'Cause you can't fight this feeling any more, oh anymore Refrain2 (x2)

Crow

Mother, can you hold me together
It's so dark and I'm losing my way
I took all of these detours to find love
But when I did, it just faded away

Now what do I do
With the sweet love of mine
Do I give it away and
Hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake
As the moon and the stars
Mother, teach me to love
With a paper-thin heart

Mother, your words are so healing
You speak of love and of light and of peace
But I've made it my course to avoid you
Just to hide from these feelings of grief

Now what do I do
With the sweet love of mine
Do I give it away and
Hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake
As the moon and the stars
Mother, teach me to love
With a paper-thin heart

Now what do I do
With the sweet love of mine
Do I give it away and
Hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake
As the moon and the stars
Mother, teach me to love
With a paper-thin heart

Mother, I know you are with me
You were there when I took my first breath
I can't stop looking back for the answers
I just keep coming up with regret
There are some things I just can't forget

Well I can see heaven
See it over the plain
If I start running now
I think I can make it
And never look back again
Your face is all around me
Your keys are in my hand
And everywhere I go
I'll try to remember
Exactly who I am
'Cause now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Free to make a
mess of everything
'Cause nothing belongs to me
now that you're gone
I can breathe
I can breathe

We made a bed of roses
I got pricked by thorns
And on a long cold night
I still think I'm bleeding
I wake up untorn
Well I'm a missing person
I've lost it all but my name
And I'm afraid some long
lonely road Will lead me
back to you again
now that you're gone
I can breathe
now that you're gone
I am free
Free to make a mess of
everything
'Cause nothing belongs to me
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone

now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Free to make a
mess of everything
'Cause nobody's watching me
Now that you're gone
I am free
Now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Now that you're gone
I can breathe

There’s something I need to show you My head in my hands 'Cause I don’t understand When I don’t even know you, How you've melted my heart in two I wake up in the morning Follow you and then hide Just to watch you walk by Comes on me with no warning I think about you and I get high Do I show you I even exist Do I tell you it’s you that I’ve missed Well if love is a cocktail of all that you do I get drunk with the thought of you I get drunk with the thought of you I can’t stand all this freedom I’ve been here before And it’s such a big bore You’re all I ever needed If only you'd walk through my door Do I show you I even exist Do I tell you it’s you that I’ve missed Well if love is a cocktail of all that you do I get drunk with the thought of you I get drunk with the thought of you I could wait my whole life for this moment to come With a long list of beautiful chances I’ve blown Well, this time I'll toast to your name 'til I'm blue I get drunk with the thought of you I get drunk with the thought of you I get drunk with the thought of you

We made love all day In our little hide away But I blew up our love nest By making one little request Diamond ring Diamond ring Don't mean anything Diamond ring Diamond ring Should not mean a thing You could say I do Hide your negative reviews You love me you say But you can't even face the day Diamond ring Diamond ring Don't mean anything Diamond ring Diamond ring Should not change Some say love is blind But I say love is only in the mind Diamonds may be sweet But to me they just bring on cold feet Someday you'll be like me With someone who just wants to be free Diamond ring Diamond ring Don't mean anything Diamond ring Diamond ring Should not mean a thing

I stare into Some great abyss And calculate The things I'd miss If I could only Make some sense of this And Madam Butterfly Resounds Over the mothership Her lights flashing around I float above her and I wonder how To make it go away Make it go away I crawl into my circumstance Lay on the table Begging for another chance But I was a good girl I can't understand how to Make it go away Make it go away Sometimes I wonder Which hurts the worse The thougt of dying Or reliving every hurt Was love the illness And disease the cure Make it go away

Everyone is talking about me How my heart is broken But they don't see When you're lonely inside The world looks so carefree When you're lonely inside You just can't see Refrain: Does anybody want you Does anybody need you The question is Does anybody want you Does anybody need you The question is All I really know for certain, babe Is that Love Is All There Is Every now and then There comes a time Someone comes along to change your mind You believe it's unwise To give in to careless dreams You believe it's a prize You'll never win Refrain You believe it's unwise To give in to careless dreams If you don't see that is why You will never know Refrain

The world could fall apart But you're my heart, my dear I will sing this song 'til we are gone, my dear How do I keep you from losing your way Hope you'll go out and you'll come back someday But love is letting go And this I'll know Is you were mine For a time I could shape your mind But why waste time, my dear There's so much more to know Than I can show you dear Hope you'll go out and you'll come back someday But love is letting go And this I'll know Is you were mine For a time I have held you close And breathed your name, my dear I was with you then And will remain, my dear How do I keep you from losing your way Hope you will find love like I did someday But love is letting go And this I'll know Is you were mine For a time
