She Bop"

(Cyndi Lauper, Stephen Broughton Lunt, Gary Corbett, Rick Chertoff)

We-hell-I see them every night in tight blue jeans -
In the pages of a blue boy magazine
Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up - good vibration -
Oop - she bop

Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop - or I'll go blind
Oop - she bop - she bop

She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
I hope He will understand
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop

(whistle along here)...

Hey, hey - they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
No, I won't worry, and I won't fret
Ain't no law against it yet
Oop - she bop - she bop

She bop - he bop - we bop...
She Bop

All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll 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 won't 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 won't 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 won't 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
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

<< Money Changes Everything >>

- Cyndi Lauper -

She said I'm sorry baby I'm leaving you tonight
I found someone new he's waitin' in the car outside
Ah honey how could you do it
We swore each other everlasting love
She said well yeah I know but when
We did--there was one thing we weren't
Really thinking of and that's money--

Money changes everything
Money, money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
That don't mean a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything

They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends
We'll stick with you till the end
Ah but everybody's only
Looking out for themselves
And you say well who can you trust
I'll tell you it's just
Nobody else's money--

Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
We don't pull the strings
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything

Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doing
We don't know a thing
It's all in the past now

Money changes everything
Money changes everything
Money changes everything

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mama 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 wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have--

That′s all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls-- they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have--

That′s all they really want
Is some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls--they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun,

They just wanna, they just wanna,
They just wanna, they just wanna
Oh girls-- girls just wanna have fun

They just wanna, they just wanna,
They just wanna, they just wanna
Oh girls-- girls just wanna have fun

When the working-- when the working day is done
Oh, when the working day is done
Oh girls-- girls just wanna have fun

They just wanna, they just wanna,
They just wanna, they just wanna
Oh girls-- girls just wanna have fun

When the working-- when the working day is done
Oh, when the working day is done
Oh girls-- girls just wanna have fun

When u were mine
I gave u all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
Cause, just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
And u were so strange
U didn′t have the decency to change the sheets
Oh girl, when u were mine
I use to let u wear all my clothes
U were so fine
Maybe that′s the reason that it hurt me so
I know, that you′re goin with another guy
But I don′t care, cause I love u baby that′s no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were kindasorta my best friend
So I was blind
I let u fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleepin in between the two of us
I know, that you`re goin with another guy
But I don′t care, cause I love u baby that′s no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he′s with u
I know that you′re goin with another guy
But I don′t care, cause I love u baby that′s no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine

Lying in my bed

I hear the clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new

Flashback warm nights, almost left behind suitcases of memories,

Time after time


Sometimes you pictured 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


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 of time



You said "Go slow, I fall behind"

The second hand unwinds

time after time

time after time

time after time

time after time

You're sorry now
and you're change some how-
and I am what you need to get out, but-
* I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness

Cause I'm crawling back
I'm searchin the right track-
I'm standin- at last I'm sure
* I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
no,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh- witness
no,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh- witness

Jailbird chained to walk
how you used to- talk,talk,talk-
but the melody- none at all my love-
and I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
I don't wanna be
no I don't....
oh,oh,oh,oh...witness- witness-
witness- witness-

Went down to the local gypsy
And I handed her the same line--
'You know what I want from you
So honey won't ya gimme #9'
Cause you know lately I ain't feelin so great--
Last time she gave me love potion #8
And you know pretty baby how I think you're pretty smart
But one sip from this bottle and I'll tear you all apart--

The gypsy told me that the first thing
That would happen you get dizzy
Second thing you better make sure
That your boyfriend isn't busy
Cause you won't wanna eat
And you won't wanna drink
You won't wanna talk
And you won't wanna think
My mother used to tell me not to kiss on this first date
This time when I see you, you know I ain't gonna wait!

I'll Kiss you
Gonna corner you and not let you go
I'll Kiss you
Don't tell me nothing--I--I--don't wanna know
And twidely--dee--and twidely--dum
I'll Kiss you, I'll Kiss you, I'll Kiss you

Hopped into a taxi, and I told the driver
Got to get me cross town
Killed the bottle, started seeing double
When the driver turned around
And though I was a failure with love potion #8
#9 was different and the hour's getting late
Now I'm standing on the corner
Everyone looks great to me
And if you come and get me take me where I want to be--

I'll Kiss you...
...I'll Kiss you
I'll Kiss you

You talk of sweeties bashful sweeties
I've got one of those
Oh he's handsome as can be
But he worries me

He goes to college
And gathers knowledge
Oo, what that boy knows
He's up in his Latin and Greek
But in his chicin' he's weak cause,
When I want some lovin'
And I gotta have some lovin'
He says please stop it please
he's so unusual...

Through the burning sun
And the driving rain
Over the sea
And across the plain
Oh I'll ask you once
And I'll ask you again
Won't you be my love
Won't you be my friend

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well the lights are low
And the hour is late
Don't you want me baby
Through your garden gate
Don't you feel it coming
And it feels so strong
I will never ever ever
Ever do you wrong

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now the mountain is high
And the river is deep
We always knew
And we hold the key
Violets blue
Roses red
Love you baby
Till I'm dead

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Here I am
Just like I said I would be
I′m your friend
Just like you think it should be
Did you think I would stand here and lie
As our moment was passing us by
Oh I am here

Waiting for your change of heart
It just takes a beat
To turn it around
Yes I′m waiting for your change of heart
At the edge of my seat
Please turn it around

Days go by
Leaving me with a hunger
I could fly
Back to when we were younger
When adventures like cars we would ride
And the years lied ahead still untried
While I stand here

Waiting for your change of heart...

Blind leading blind
Never feel the laughter
Search through time
Nothing reveals the answer
If it′s truth that you′re looking to find
It is nowhere outside of your mind
I bide my time
Waiting for your change of heart...

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Maybe he'll know
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know, well
Maybe he'll be my cure

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Maybe he'll know, well
I'm not so sure
Maybe he'll know why
Maybe he'll be, oh oh

Something calls to me, I know
I hear an echo start to pound like a drum
Chanting a song, anchor me
But don't take too long, no no

I got this anxious feeling
I got this ache engraved
In me like stone
Don't take too long
Say you'll never leave me
Say you'll never go
No no no no

Oh oh, oh oh, ...

You never knew yourself well enough
But she never knew you at all
And when she put you out on your own
It may have stolen your innocence
But not your soul

Tell me where is little boy blue
You'll find him standing always
One step ahead
Fast a little, shy a little, boy blue
Wise blood runs warms and deep
On the street
... Kids walking, just a kid walking

You send a letter with photographs
And I'll tuck them under my dreams
And if we wake up old beyond our years
Not quite as brave as we seem
It's just the pain that never disappears

Tell me where is boy blue
You'll find him standing always one step ahead...

Dance a little, cry a little...

Where are you boy blue
Where are you...

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 feel so small
But I 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
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
Your true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow
(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
True colors are 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

I can get up
On the right side of the bed
But that won't stop the rain
From coming down on my head
I can live my life
Playing hide and seek
But when I look inside
It's hard to make believe,
Ah ah

'n lately
You seem so far away
I wish I could say something
But I don't know what to say
I can feel your eyes
I don't have to look at you
Boy, discontentment
Is-a-sneakin' through

You never really want anything
But what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Wo yeah
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Don't you know
You should be holding me
But you're all locked inside
Why don't you throw me your keys
I'm like a rockin' ship
On your rollin' sea
You know crash lightnin'
Never frightens me, nah

...You never really wanted
But what u really needed
I wanna give u something
mmm... the calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Love me a little, love me long

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
And brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know you've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Father, father
There's no need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring back lovin' here today

Picket lines (brother)
And picket signs (brother)
Don't punish me (brother)
With brutality (brother)
Just talk to me (brother)
So you can see
Hey, what's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on


Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Just because our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding today

You know you've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines (sister)
And picket signs (sister)
Don't punish me (sister)
With brutality (sister)
But just talk to me (sister)
So you can see
What's going on
What's going on
Tell me what's going on

What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Yeah, yeah
What's going on
Yeah
Tell me, I tell you
You tell me, I tell you
What's going on
Mother, mother
Father, father
What's going on
What's going on
I tell you

My grandma and your grandma were
Sittin' by the fire
My grandma told your grandma
I'm gonna set your flag on fire

Chorus:
Talk-in' 'bout
Hey now
Hey now
Iko, iko, un day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne

Look at my king all dressed in red
Iko, iko, un-day
I bet-cha five dollars he'll kill you dead
Jock-a-mo fee na-ne

Chorus

See that guy all dressed in green
Iko, iko, un-day
He's not a man he's a lovin' machine
Jock-a-mo fee na-ne

Chorus

My flag boy and your flag boy were
Sittin' by the fire
My flag boy told your flag boy
I'm gonna set your flag on fire

Chorus

Out in the faraway nearby
Can your hear my call
Out in the faraway nearby
I'm breaking down the walls
Till you're here to stay
Out from the faraway

Hot looks, cold words,
Don't know what it is you heard
But I didn't mean it,
If I said something wrong
Short nights, long dreams
Something happens in between
Then a weird feeling,
Like you're here but still you're gone
...Oo, heart beats
Like a knock on the door
But it sounds so faraway

In the faraway nearby
Can your hear me call
Out in the faraway nearby
I'm breaking down the walls
Till you're here to stay
Out from the faraway

Big whisper, small scream
But it's not like what it seems
Locked up in the open
Don't know which way to go
Deserts, oceans
Leaving footprints in the sand
Hoping that you'll see them
And wishing you'd follow
...And walk with me hand in hand, ya-ha
And talk with me you got a plan, ah-ha
And hold me, and hold me
Don't stop... in the faraway nearby
Can you here me call

There's a riot in the kitchen and the bed's on fire
There's a locket in my pocket that I can't find
Oh I'm at the window whistling in the wind
I'm at my own front door and I can't get in

I'm dialing up 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again,
If you could change the time, a little,
Then everything would be
Fine, fine, fine

Tell me do you have a home-made remedy,
The only time we talk is in our sleep
Oh he likes mornings, I like the moon
It's a typical case of too little, too soon

I'm dialing up 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again,
If you could change the time, a little,
Then everything would be
Fine, fine, fine

...My back is in the corner,
My boat is taking on water,
You can't wrap fire up in paper
And you can't rap your way out of here

Oh I like mornings, he likes the moon
It's a typical case of too late, too soon

I'm dialing up 911...
911

Ah, ah----
Ah, ah----

(Got a one track mind)

Something's happening
I want everything
...What does the moment bring
I want it now
(Got a one track mind)
I want it, I need it
(Got a one track mind)
I really think so

Ah, ah... I want everything
and I want it now!

(Got a one track mind)

People say to me
mind my Q's and P's
...Why do they bother me
Something inside
(Got a one track mind)
Comes over me,
I want it, I need it
(Got a one track mind)
I really think so

Ah, ah...

(Got a ...)

I climb up the stairs
I sit up and stare
But nobody's there
I walk ahead
(Got a one track mind)
You fall behind
Another victim
Got a one track mind

Ah, ah... I want everything
and I want it now!

sometimes i think
things are overwhelming
sometimes i think
i dont know what i'll do
but i forget the world
and everything around me
thats what i think
when i think about you

the streets are filled
with too many babies
black air in the sky of of blue
people pass by
no life in their eyes
the concrete jungle's
really going crazy

sometimes i think
things are overwhelming.....

the rent is due
and the pockets are empty
people ask machines
for the truth
no crystal ball
to help see it all
but where we gonna find
the dreams to feed the babies

baby life goes on
thats what people say
but im nowhere
if you go away
i'd just be looking
for a brighter day

sometimes i think
things are overwhelming......
what can ido
forget about the world
and everything around me
thats what i think
when i think about you

She's just a product of misery...

Everyday she'd go around
Everytime I see that frown
Broken down and down and out,
The drudgery goes on and on.
Oh I just want to say,
I ain't gonna live that way 'cause

She's just a product of misery.
I don't want to live like that,
Just a product of misery.
I don't want to live like that.

Like her mother and hers before,
She left her heart out by the door.
Everybody passed it by.
They never bothered asking why
She stayed looked up inside,
Watching as the world turns by.

Now she's just a product of misery.
I don't want to live like that...
Just a product of misery.
I don't want to live like that.
I don't want to live like that !
Hey, like that ?!
I don't want to live like that...
Just a product of misery....

...Annie said she must confess
She never came and never left,
Never could communicate and
Now the time is much too late.
Passions laid to rest,
Buried with her wedding dress.

Now she's just a product of misery...
I don't want to live like that.
I don't want to live like that...
Just a product of misery.

Things like this
Can always take a little time
I always thought
We′d be together down the line
We start to fight
And can′t get over what was said
′Cause you see black and white
And I see red

And I wonder who let in the rain
You know without you
I′m not the same
When love gets strong
People get weak
Sometimes they lose control
And wind up in too deep
They fall like rain
Who let in the rain

I make the bed and cover
Where you used to sleep
I′m smoothing over promises
Made in these sheets
I envy lovers passing by
Out on the street
′Cause what they have
I couldn′t keep

And I wonder who let in the rain
You know without you
I′m not the same
When love gets strong
People gets weak
Sometimes they lose control
And wind up in too deep
They fall like rain
Who let in the rain...

The street light
Through my window
Makes me feel secure
There's no one to distract me
I'm locking the door
You cannot barge into
My own little world
You can't take the joy
From the soul of this girl

Telling me your lies, lies, lies
Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies

My thoughts are all tangled
I don't know what I feel
You try to confuse me
'Till I don't know what's real
You say what's good (for me)
You don't even know me
You don't even want the truth
That you need to feel
The power that was taken from you

Telling me your lies, lies, lies
Don't tell me lies, lies, lies...

So I'll pretend,
And we'll all be happy
But in the end
There's no telling when
You'll slip off the edge
And you start up again
But I'm not the same child
Who just had no defense

Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies...
Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies...

All that's left is this knocking
Of a heart you left on the shelf
You twisted your love
'Cause you don't love yourself

Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies
Don't tell me lies, lies, lies...
Don't tell me lies...

Ever since I could understand
My mother said to me
"Don't you ever let a man hit you,
Don't you grow up like me"
So I swore I'd never be like her
Or my grandmother too
Ever if it meant I'd be alone
Ever if it meant I'd be alone.

'Cause she looked
'Cause she looked like broken glass
When she fell to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
Trailing off
When she started coming 'round
But she couldn't make him stop
And she wouldn't let it go
So everytime she got back up
Like broken glass went tumblin' down
Tumblin' down

First time that I saw your face
You looked so lost and kind
Should have recognized that
Troubled look
From the road I left behind
But I thought that I could comfort you
Or was it you could comfort me,
Never saw your anger 'till you blew
Never saw your anger 'till you blew

And I feel
Oh I'd feel like broken glass
When I fell to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
Trailing off
When I started coming 'round
But I couldn't make you stop
And you wouldn't let it go
So everytime I got back up
Like broken glass went tumbling down...

The slightest thing could spark you
There was always hell to pay
I could feel your darkness in me
And I knew just what to say
And the rest I can't remember
But it sounded like a gun
But it could have been a firecracker
It could have been a firecracker
Made me run

And you looked
Oh you looked like broken glass
When you fell to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
Trailing off
When you started coming 'round
But I couldn't make you stop
And you wouldn't let it go
So this time when you got back up
Like broken glass you went
Just like broken glass
Just like broken glass...
...Tumbling down, tumbling down...

When I was eight I had a friend
with a pirate smile
make believe and play pretend
we were innocent and wild
hopped a fence and slammed the gate
running down my alleyway
in time to watch Sally's pigeons fly

We loved to watch them dive and soar
circle in the sky
free as a bird from three to four
and never knowing why
neighbors pulled their wash back in
put away my Barbie and Ken
look out overhead
while Sally's pigeons fly

I had a fool's confidence
that the world had no boundaries
but instincts and common sense
come in different quantities

my heart began to
skip to the beat
of the boy next door
she had her eye across the street
on someone shy and tall
we lived our dreams
and challenged fate
in tears she told me she was late
and Sally let his pigeons out to fly...

On the dresser sits a frame
with a photograph
two little girls in ponytails
some twenty one years back
she left one night with just a nod
was lost from some back alley job
I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly
she never saw those birds again
and me, I can't remember when
a pirate smile hasn't made me cry
I close my eyes
and Sally's pigeons fly...

If you want to see me
Don't break down and cry
I can be your sweetie
If you be a friend of mine
And I won't be forsaken
If you think thoughts unkind
Just bring home the bacon
And bring it home on time

Hey Louie, can't you see
I couldn't leave you if I tried
Hey Louie, listen to me
We got a thing so dignified
It don't matter if we lived in a shack
Or in a shiny cadillac
It don't matter rich or poor
When love is knocking at your door

It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you...

Hey Louie, life is sweet
I can't be bitter
When you're here with me
Hey Louie, no regrets
Holding on to things
That you ought to forget
Well, it doesn't matter tit for tat
'Cause what you give
You get it back
It don't matter anymore
When love is knocking at your door

It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you,
Everytime I see ya
Everytime I hear ya
Everytime I'm near ya,
I'd be happy
Because it feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
With you...

Dear John,

What's wrong ? Why can't you just be anything you want ? Why not ? Why not ? I tried to tell you then. You didn't understand. They try and pigeonhole you. Buddy, they don't even know you. But hang on my dear, dear, John. Maybe you're not just like everyone, so what, so what.

And there's more to live for, than some abbreviated encore, much more, much more. You can't define yourself in terms of someone else. You can't say what you're thinking ? But I don't know what you've been drinking. But don't cry. 'Cause life goes on. Dear John, you could be anything you want. Why not ? Why not ?
Why you could even be an astronaut, dear John, dear John

I know you expected me
To act just like a schoolgirl
Followed your rules
Just like a fool
Wrapped up in your world
What's good for you
Don't mean that's so good for me
What can I do, but hang around
And lose myself just like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw

Well I ain't gonna walk
With my heart in my hand
And take things lying down like before
Won't take your crap the way I used to
Ain't gonna be the way it used to,
Alright for you, ain't alright for me

Maybe I was weak though the average
Person probably thinks I'm stronger
When I need someone else
I shut out myself,
Scared to say the wrong words
What's right for you
Don't think that's alright for me
You spread the glue, so I can't move
And stick to you just like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw...

Oh I ain't gonna walk
With my heart in my hand...
...Ain't gonna do it like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw
Alright for you ain't alright for me, no
Everytime you pust me down
Everytime you screw me around
Everytime you do that to me
I'm my own possession
I'm my own possession...

Midnight falls on the snow-lit trees
And as I stand inside I know that I
Can't watch life through a window
My indecision is blocking the door
It's like a religion
That I never ask for more
I might stumble and fall

What's someone like me,
Doing in a life like this?
I can't see
What someone like me
Is doing in a life like this
Slipping back into the past

Sun comes up and streams
Through the blinds
And as I throw my clothes on
Do my hair wrong,
Stare into my mirror
Telling myself that everyone falls
Take the first step
That's the trick of it all
Bounce back like a ball

What's someone like me
Doing in a life like this ?...

My mind is filled with
Runaway dreams
I can't wake up
I don't know what it means
You see I fell asleep
With the television on
When I woke up it was gone
I read my horoscope
To see what's in store
I get a little lazy but
I want more, I want more

What's someone like me
Doing in a life like this ?
I can't see
What someone like me
Is doing in a life like this...

Somber sister
This is a strange and bitter fruit
Because you taught me to sing
And the rhythm in my heart
And the rhythm in my feet is -

Why are the rainbows
Stolen from the sky
And locked up in boxes
Yellow, black, red and white
Like birds in their cages
Beating their wings on the bars
And there's a song that they're singing
It's a word in the world
It's a word in their hearts

A part hate
I heard a man say
Tear apart hate
And I saw hope in his face
A part hate
Where the color of love
Slips away

Why are the children
Carrying guns, not books
Drug dealing, not learning
The golden rule
And the idea of freedom
Not just the same
Castle in the sky
Haunted by white-sheeted ghouls
Filled with hate me
And hate you
And proud of it too

A part hate
Heard a woman saying
Tear apart hate
And I saw hope in her face
A part hate
Where the color of love
Slips away

Why are the people
Running down the block
Rock throwing, not knowing
What else to do
But I'm just a spectator
And I can never know the pain
But when I hear
That whip cracking
I cry out tears of anger
I cry out tears of shame

A part hate
I heard myself say
Tear apart hate
And I saw hope in my face
A part hate
Where the color of love
Slips away...

Tear apart hate tear apart hate
Tear apart hate tear apart hate
Tear apart hate tear apart hate...

I was folding up your letters
Unpacking winter clothes
Searching for my hat
I thought I left it by the door
So I tore around the room
Like a bird without a head
I saw your picture waving back at me
From underneath the bed
From a long, long time ago

When all I had
Was a hat full of stars
The one I'll always treasure
The one that you wore
You loved the look
But you never looked inside
You would have seen us there
You could've seen far
You should've seen the magic
In my hat full of stars

I'm trying to live in the present
But I keep tripping on the past
Finding out reality, well clarity
Comes in dribs and drabs
No we never had the time
For everything we had
So it felt like we had nothing
That's what makes this hat so sad
It was a long, long time ago

When all we had
Was a hat full of stars...
...You would have seen us there
You could've seen far
You should've seen the magic
In my hat full of stars

Now whenever I'm alone
And I think I might forget
I wear my lucky hat
Just like a crown up on my head -
'Cause all I have
Is a hat full of stars...
If you could see me now
You would've seen far
You should've seen the magic
In my hat full of stars...
