Floatin' in the lower nine
Waitin' for a boat to throw me a line See my Stella smile Sittin' on a roof, eatin' alligator pie First day the water rise Second day the Sun is high Third day Stella cries 'Cause night time's dark as a dead man's eyes Yeah Lord, Lord, say Yeah, tell me when help is gonna come Oh Yeah, yeah Yeah, Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" Storm went right on by Thanked the Lord everybody's alright Don't mean to throw off a second line But the Devil broke the levee and left us here to die Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" Like a dance hall to get y'all down Like a dance hall to get y'all down Like a dance hall to get y'all down Oh, yeah All the things we know and everything we hope for All the things we wanted, everything that was sure Now, there is a scar where the old men used to be The corner store and market where Stella used to sing to me Grace is all I'm asking, when will Grace return? Grace is all I'm asking Remember how it feels Lazy days in the summertime Then my Stella smiled Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" Said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" Tell me, Lord, when help is gonna come She said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" |

Lying in the park on a beautiful day, sunshine in the grass, and the children play. Siren’s passing, fire engine red, someone’s house is burning down on a day like this? The evening comes and we’re hanging out, On the front step, and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down, And that war song is playing, “why can’t we be friends?” Someone iss screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs Funny the way it is, if you think about it Somebody’s going hungry and someone else is eating out Funny the way it is, not right or wrong Somebody’s heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song the way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor You can hear the laughter, while the children play “war” Funny the way it is, if you think about it one kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out Funny the way it is, not right or wrong On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me It must’ve been much harder when there was no bridge, just water Now the world is small. Remember how it used to be, with mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars? Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach Is there someone up there looking down on me? Boy chase a bird, so close but every time He’ll never catch her, but he can’t stop trying Funny the way it is, if you think about it one kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out Funny the way it is, not right or wrong on a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born Funny the way it is, nor right or wrong Somebody’s broken heart becomes your favorite song Funny the way it is, if you think about it A kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out. Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me It must’ve been much harder when there was no bridge, just water Now the world is small. Remember how it used to be, with mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars? |

Baby i'll be your soldier Gladly i'll do your bidding For just a taste of what you're holding For just a taste you could own me Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love I'll be right here lying in the hands of God Here it comes dive right into me Now the floor is the ceiling If you never flew why would you? Cut the wings off a butterfly Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love If you knew what I feel then you couldnt be so sure I'll be right here lying in the hands of God If you feel angels in your hair Teardrops of joy run down your face You will rise Fill me up now drain me Skin begins to grow back slowly Faster until i'm choking I really should call my mother Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love If you knew what I feel then you couldnt be so sure I'll be right here lying in the hands of God If you feel angels in your hair I am in love with nothing else Teardrops of joy run off my face I will rise for someone that's afraid to love If you knew what I feel then you couldnt be so sure I'll be right here lying in the hands of God Now the floor is the ceiling If you never flew why would you |

Probably get it wrong as much as I get it right
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye What I remember most about that night is I love the way you move, baby Yes, I love the way you move, baby I like most liquor but I don't like gin Don't always like the skin I'm in But when I get it wrong, got a start again Still I love the way you love me, baby And I love the way you move, baby I love the way you move, yeah, yeah CHORUS All the freaks are on parade I want to fill my belly, so I got to get paid Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life? But it don't always work out Cry, cry, baby, if we must But just remember, oh, remember I love the way you love me, baby And I love the way you move Not all bad, but I'm a faithful sinner I might get lost, but I'll be home for dinner If God don't like me, he can send me to Hell But I love the way you love me, girl I love the way you move I prayed to Heaven to keep my place But I looked in the mirror and saw the Devil's face I'd be a dog for a tail to chase But I love the way you kiss me, baby And I love the way you talk, baby You move Love the way you move CHORUS I love the way you love me, baby And I love the way you move The bad days come when the good days gone Working as hard as the day is long And a working man works when at home And I love the way you talk, baby (love the way you talk, baby) And I love the way you talk, baby CHORUS All the people are on parade Thought I saw a spaceman try to get laid Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life? But it don't always work out Cry, cry, baby, if we must But, oh, remember, just remember I love the way you love me, baby And I love the way you move |

Please, find your place the room grows scarce
Once we're all inside the service can begin For a moment, if you please, forget what you believe And naked, you will see that we are all the same The power of your kiss your words your lips Your flesh, your bones, exactly what you need Your flesh, your bones, exactly what you need Drum beats louder Drum beats louder Why should I feel intrusion? Why be afraid of what you do not understand? To eliminate exclusion Cut out the differences, you'll feel like you belong Drum beats louder Drum beats louder Drum beats louder Drum beats louder Open up your head Open up, you primitive Open your mouth, and Open up your head You sweet primitive Open up your mouth It's coming out Out there with no food no drink How many days do you think you'd last All your diamonds and your pearls? I'm not a king, no Not a hero, not a fool I'm not perfect, I'm flesh and bone And I'm exactly what you need Drum beats louder Drum beats louder Open up your head Open up, you primitive Open your mouth, and Open up your head You sweet primitive Open up your mouth It's coming out Open up your head Sweet, sweet primitive And tell me what you said Tell me what you said The power of your kiss Your words, your lips Not a gun to your head You're gonna die before you're dead It's not sad when you're gone But when your light's still on Your wings won't let you fly Don't be dead before you die Hunger until fed, give love instead And when it gets inside watch the dead man squirm Above all things if kindness is your king Then Heaven will be yours before you meet your end Open up your head Open up, you primitive Open your mouth, and Open up your head You sweet primitive Open up your mouth It's coming out Open up your head Open up, you primitive Open your mouth, and Open up your head You sweet primitive Open up your mouth It's coming out |

I'm a ticking time bomb
Waiting to blow my top No one would ever know Not until I blew up No one would believe it He was such a normal man Shake their heads and wonder why If Martians fell from the sky What would that do to God? Would we put the weapons down Or aim it up at the sky? No one would believe it Except the fucking nut jobs They laugh and cry We told you so Baby, when I get home I want to believe in Jesus Hammer in the final nail Help me pick up the pieces When everything starts to fall So fast that it terrifies you When will you hit the wall? Are you gonna learn to fly? No one would believe it Except for all the people Watching as you fly away Baby, when I get home I want to pick up the pieces Hammer in the final nail And lean me up against Jesus Baby, when I get home Help me pick up the pieces Hammer in the final nail I want to believe in Jesus |

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth, bite to eat and he's rolling Never changes a thing The week ends, the week begins She thinks, we look at each other Wondering what and the other is thinking But we never say a thing And these crimes between us grow deeper Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Goes to visit his mommy She feeds him well, has concerns He forgets them And remembers being small Playing under the table and dreaming... Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Driving in on this highway All these cars end up on the sidewalk People in every direction No words exchanged, No time to exchange when... All the little ants are marching Red and black antennae waving They all do it the same They all do it the same way, Candyman tempting the thoughts of a Sweet tooth tortured by weight loss programs cutting the corners Loose end, loose end, cut cut On the fence, try not to offend Cut cut, cut cut Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Lights down, you up and die. |

Oh, look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks She just goes stumbling through her memories Staring out on to Grey Street She thinks, “Hey... How did I come to this? I dream myself a thousand times around the world, But I can't get out of this place” There's an emptiness inside her And she'd do anything to fill it in But all the colors mix together To grey And it breaks her heart How she wishes it was different She prays to God most every night And though she knows well He doesn't listen There's still a hope in her He might She says, “I pray... But they fall on deaf ears Am I supposed to take it on myself, To get out of this place?” There's loneliness inside her And she'd do anything to fill it in And though it's red blood bleeding from her now It feels like cold blue ice in her heart When all the colors mix together To grey And it breaks her heart There's a stranger speaks outside her door Says take what you can from your dreams Make them as real as anything It'd take the work out of the courage But she says, “Please... There's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door, I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world” There's an emptiness inside her And she'd do anything to fill it in And though it's red blood bleeding from her now It's more like cold blue ice in her heart She feels like kicking out all the windows And setting fire to this life She could change everything about her Using colors bold and bright But all the colors mix together To grey And it breaks her heart It breaks her heart To grey... |

Nine planets around the sun
Only one does the sun embrace Upon this watered one So much we take for granted So let us sleep outside tonight Lay down in our mother's arms For here we can rest safely If green should turn to grey Would our hearts still bloody beat And if the mountains crumble away Rivers dry Would it stop the stepping feet Oh let us sleep outside tonight Lay down in our mother's arms For here we can rest safely Take all that we can get When it's done Nobody left to bury here Nobody left to dig the holes And here we can rest safely One sweet world Around this star is spinning One sweet world And in her breath I'm swimming And here I will rest in peace So let us sleep outside tonight Lay down in our mothers arms For here we can rest safely |

You were standing underneath us We were not yet lovers Dragons were smoked Bumblebees were stinging us I was soon to be crazy Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die 'Cause we're Tripping Billies We're wearing nothing Nothing but our shadows Shadows falling down on the beach sand Remembering once, Out on the beaches we wore Pineapple grass bracelets So why would you care To get out of this place You and me and all our friends Such a happy human race 'Cause we're Tripping Billies We are all sitting Legs crossed round a fire My yellow flame she dances Tequila drinking, oh, our Minds will wander To wondrous places So why would you care To get out of this place You and me and all our friends Such a happy human race Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die Check 'em out, Boyd, yeah! Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die |

To change the world, start with one step
However small, the first step is hardest of all Once you get your gait, you'll be walkin' tall You said you never did, cuz you might die tryin' Cuz you might die tryin', cuz you... If you close your eyes cuz the house is on fire And think you couldn't move until fire dies The things you never did, oh, cuz you might die tryin' Cuz you might die tryin', you'd be as good as dead Cuz you might die tryin', cuz you might die tryin' I still remember I woke up and all ran away If you give, you begin to live If you give, you begin to live You begin, you get the world If you give, you begin to live You get the world, you get the world If you give,you begin to live, you might die tryin' Oh you might die tryin', you might die tryin' The things you never did, oh cuz you might die tryin' You'd be as good as dead The things you never did |

I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles, oh Oh, I'm coming slow but speeding Do you wish a dance and while I'm in the front My play on time is won Oh, But the difficulty is coming here I will go in this way And find my own way out I won't tell you to stay But I'm coming to much more Me All at once the ghosts come back Reeling in your mind Oh, What if they came down crushing I used to play for all of the loneliness that nobody notices now Oh, I'm begging slow I'm coming here I´m waiting I wanted to stay I wanted to play, I wanted to love you I'm only this far And only tomorrow leads my way I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head Please, I wouldn't pass you by Oh, I wouldn't take any more than (what I need) What sort of man goes by? I will bring water Why won't you ever be glad? It melts into wonder I came in praying for you Why won't you run into the rain and play? And let the tears splash all over you |

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth, bite to eat and he's rolling Never changes a thing The week ends, the week begins She thinks, we look at each other Wondering what and the other is thinking But we never say a thing And these crimes between us grow deeper Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Goes to visit his mommy She feeds him well, has concerns He forgets them And remembers being small Playing under the table and dreaming... Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Driving in on this highway All these cars end up on the sidewalk People in every direction No words exchanged, No time to exchange when... All the little ants are marching Red and black antennae waving They all do it the same They all do it the same way, Candyman tempting the thoughts of a Sweet tooth tortured by weight loss programs cutting the corners Loose end, loose end, cut cut On the fence, try not to offend Cut cut, cut cut Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Lights down, you up and die. |

Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so well Branch to branch, limb to limb you see All in a day's dream I'm stuck Like the other monkeys here I am a humble monkey Sitting up in here again But then came the day I climbed out of these safe limbs Ventured away Walking tall, head high up and singing I went to the city Car horns, corners and the gritty Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen Monkey see, monkey do Then comes the day Staring at myself I turn to question me I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well Oh things were quiet then In a way they were the better days But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen Monkey see, monkey do Monkey see, monkey do |

Satellite
by Dave Matthews Band Satellite in my eyes Like a diamond in the sky How I wonder. Satellite strung from the moon And the world your balloon Peeping tom for the mother station Winter's cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasing Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Satellite, headlines read Someone's secrets you've seen Eyes and ears have been Satellite dish in my yard Tell me more, tell me more Who's the king of your satellite castle? Winter's cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasing Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Rest high above the clouds no resrictions Television we bounce 'round the world And while I spend these hours Five senses reeling, I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes. Satellite in my eyes Like a diamond in the sky How i wonder. Satellite strung from the moon And the world your balloon Peeping tom for the mother station Winter's cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasing Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Rest high above the clouds no restrictions Television you bounce from the world And while I spend these hours Five senses reeling I laugh about this world in my satellite eyes. Lyrics for Crash into me by Dave Matthews Band You've got your ball you've got your chain Tied to me tight tie me up again Who's got their claws in you my friend Into your heart I'll beat again Sweet like candy to my soul Sweet you rock and sweet you roll Lost for you I'm so lost for you You come crash into me And I come into you, I come into you In a boys dream In a boys dream Touch your lips just so I know In your eyes, love, it glows so I'm bare-boned and crazy for you When you come crash into me, baby And I come into you In a boys dream In a boys dream If I've gone overboard Then I'm begging you to forgive me In my haste When I'm holding you so girl... close to me Oh and you come crash into me, baby And I come into you Hike up your skirt a little more and show the world to me Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me In a boys dream... In a boys dream Oh I watch you there through the window And I stare at you You wear nothing but you wear it so well Tied up and twisted, the way I'd like to be For you, for me, come crash into me |

We were walking
Just the other day It was so hot outside You could fry an egg. Remember you were talking I watched as sweat ran down your face Reached up and I caught it at your chin Licked my fingertips We were just wasting time Let the hours roll by Doing nothing for the fun A little taste of the good life Whether right or wrong Makes us want to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay here for awhile. Then later on the sun began to fade Then the clouds rolled over our heads And it began to rain Oh, we were dancing mouths open Splashing tongue taste For a moment this good time would never end You and me You and me Just wasting time I was kissing you, You were kissing me love From good day into the moonlight Now a night so fine Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile. Makes you wanna... (two times) Makes me wanna... (two times) Don't it make you wanna? Wasting time I shall miss this thing When it all rolls by What a day... Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay here for awhile. Hey love Oh just groping you Rolling in the mud Stay a while Come on love Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile Makes me wanna, makes me wanna stay...(ten times) Make you wanna stay...don't it?(eleven times) |

To change the world, start with one step
However small, the first step is hardest of all Once you get your gait, you'll be walkin' tall You said you never did, cuz you might die tryin' Cuz you might die tryin', cuz you... If you close your eyes cuz the house is on fire And think you couldn't move until fire dies The things you never did, oh, cuz you might die tryin' Cuz you might die tryin', you'd be as good as dead Cuz you might die tryin', cuz you might die tryin' I still remember I woke up and all ran away If you give, you begin to live If you give, you begin to live You begin, you get the world If you give, you begin to live You get the world, you get the world If you give,you begin to live, you might die tryin' Oh you might die tryin', you might die tryin' The things you never did, oh cuz you might die tryin' You'd be as good as dead The things you never did |

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth, bite to eat and he's rolling Never changes a thing The week ends, the week begins She thinks, we look at each other Wondering what and the other is thinking But we never say a thing And these crimes between us grow deeper Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Goes to visit his mommy She feeds him well, has concerns He forgets them And remembers being small Playing under the table and dreaming... Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Driving in on this highway All these cars end up on the sidewalk People in every direction No words exchanged, No time to exchange when... All the little ants are marching Red and black antennae waving They all do it the same They all do it the same way, Candyman tempting the thoughts of a Sweet tooth tortured by weight loss programs cutting the corners Loose end, loose end, cut cut On the fence, try not to offend Cut cut, cut cut Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Lights down, you up and die. |

She was his girl, he was her boy-friend,
Soon be his wife, and make him her husband. A surprise on the way, anyday anyday One healthy little gigglin', dribblin', baby boy. The wise men came, three made their way, To shower him with love, while he lay in the hay. Shower him with Love, Love, Love Love, Love, Love Love, Love was all around Not very much of his childhood was known, kept his mother Mary worried, always out on his own. He met another Mary, who, for a reasonable fee, less than reputable was known to be. His heart was full of Love, Love, Love Love, Love, Love Love, Love was all around When Jesus Christ was nailed to his tree, He said, "Oh daddy-o. I can see how it all soon will be" I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene, Instead I fear I've spilled, the blood of my children all around the blood of my children all around, the blood of my children's all around So I'm told or so the story goes, the people he knew were less than golden-hearted. Gamblers and robbers; Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers, like you and me, like you and me. Rumors insisted he soon would be, for his deviations, taken into custody. By the authorities, less informed than he. Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers Searchin for Love, Love, Love Love, Love, Love Love, Love is all around Preperations were made for his celebration day. He said, "Eat this bread and think of it as me, Drink this wine and dream it will be the blood of our children all around the blood of our children's all around, The blood of our children's all around Father up above, Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with Love, Love, Love Love, Love, Love Love, Love is all around Father up above Why in all this anger do you fill me up with love Fill me - Love, Love, Love Love, Love, Love Love, Love, Love Love, Love, Love Love, Love, Love Love, Love, Love Love, Love...And the blood of our children's all around. |

I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing I'll see you again but I know the touch of you is hard to remember but like that touch I've known no other and for sure we have danced in the risk of each other would you like to dance around the world with me? I'll be falling all about my own thing and I know you're the heaviest weight, when you're not here that's hung around my head and your lips burn wild thrown from the face of a child and in your eyes the seeing of the greatest view do what you will, always walk where you like your steps do as you please, I'll back you up I remember thinking sometimes we walk sometimes we run away but I know no matter how fast we are running somehow we keep somehow we keep up with each other I'll be falling all about my own thing and I know you're the heaviest weight, when you're not here that's hung around my head and your lips burn wild thrown from the face of a child and in your eyes the seeing of the greatest few do what you will, always walk where you like your steps do as you please, I'll back you up |

Santa Maria choose your children
Santa Maria virgin child all our wars over you we are fighting and all our time faith justifying Brother caged Babylon will fall Sister chained and bound, beaten and bleeding The TV's on, to me this explains it Wearing a tie like Daddy speaks it Screaming from the Minarets Rain on the ground in a space God has grown Alone till a man looking glass in his hand He is holding up to you What you see what you see what you see What you see is human Screaming from the Minarets |

Nine planets around the sun
Only one does the sun embrace Upon this watered one So much we take for granted So let us sleep outside tonight Lay down in our mother's arms For here we can rest safely If green should turn to grey Would our hearts still bloody beat And if the mountains crumble away Rivers dry Would it stop the stepping feet Oh let us sleep outside tonight Lay down in our mother's arms For here we can rest safely Take all that we can get When it's done Nobody left to bury here Nobody left to dig the holes And here we can rest safely One sweet world Around this star is spinning One sweet world And in her breath I'm swimming And here I will rest in peace So let us sleep outside tonight Lay down in our mothers arms For here we can rest safely |

Recently I've been
All of content and dreaming I have been 'Cause I been lately seeing Quite a bit of this woman live on my street People stare and we just ignore everything People stare and we just ignore them And they go away, go away She comes to me I watch her drink I watch her comb her hair Both say that we never before have Felt as recently People stare and we just ignore What's the use in hiding out She says all the time Let their eyes do the worrying about She and me go to places quiet Where we are quite alone Kiss and we hold together We will be until we're done People stare and we just ignore What's the use in hiding out She says all the time Let their eyes do the worrying about Walk and talk, we both do quite well And kissing all the time, kissing all the time And I'm looking forward to much more Both say that we never before Never before have felt as recently People stare and we just ignore everything People stare and we just ignore And they go away, go away |

Satellite
by Dave Matthews Band Satellite in my eyes Like a diamond in the sky How I wonder. Satellite strung from the moon And the world your balloon Peeping tom for the mother station Winter's cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasing Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Satellite, headlines read Someone's secrets you've seen Eyes and ears have been Satellite dish in my yard Tell me more, tell me more Who's the king of your satellite castle? Winter's cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasing Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Rest high above the clouds no resrictions Television we bounce 'round the world And while I spend these hours Five senses reeling, I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes. Satellite in my eyes Like a diamond in the sky How i wonder. Satellite strung from the moon And the world your balloon Peeping tom for the mother station Winter's cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasing Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Rest high above the clouds no restrictions Television you bounce from the world And while I spend these hours Five senses reeling I laugh about this world in my satellite eyes. Lyrics for Crash into me by Dave Matthews Band You've got your ball you've got your chain Tied to me tight tie me up again Who's got their claws in you my friend Into your heart I'll beat again Sweet like candy to my soul Sweet you rock and sweet you roll Lost for you I'm so lost for you You come crash into me And I come into you, I come into you In a boys dream In a boys dream Touch your lips just so I know In your eyes, love, it glows so I'm bare-boned and crazy for you When you come crash into me, baby And I come into you In a boys dream In a boys dream If I've gone overboard Then I'm begging you to forgive me In my haste When I'm holding you so girl... close to me Oh and you come crash into me, baby And I come into you Hike up your skirt a little more and show the world to me Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me In a boys dream... In a boys dream Oh I watch you there through the window And I stare at you You wear nothing but you wear it so well Tied up and twisted, the way I'd like to be For you, for me, come crash into me |

Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again, fall back again, Fall back again, fall back again Oh, life it seems a struggle between What we see what we do I'm not going to change my ways Just to please you or appease you Look at this crowd, six billion proud Willing to punch it out Right, wrong, weak, strong Ashes to ashes all fall down Look around about this round About this merry-go-round and around If at all God's gaze upon us falls It's with a mischievous grin, look at him Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that Our emotions can be kept at bay Forget about being guilty, We are innocent instead For soon we will all find our lives swept away Look at me in my fancy car And my bank account Oh, how I wish I could take it all down Into my grave, I'd save Take a look again, take a look again, Take a look again Everyday things change,...stay the same Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that your emotions can be Wept away, kept at bay Forget about being guilty, i am innocent instead For soon we will all find our lives swept away You seek up an emotion And our cup is overflowing You seek up an emotion, Sometimes your well is dry You seek up a big monster For him to fight your wars for you But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not Going--ha, ha Say, oh say Late at night with TV's hungry child His belly swells Oh, for a price of a coke or a smoke I could keep alive those hungy eyes Take a look again, take a look again Take a look again Every day things change But basically you and me stay the same(*) Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that Our emotions can be kept at bay Intentions are not wicked, Don't be tricked into thinking so Soon we will all find our lives swept away You seek up an emotion And our cup is overflowing You seek up an emotion, Sometimes your well is dry You seek up a big monster For him to fight your wars for you But when he finds his way to you, The devil's not going--ha, ha Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again... |

And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again Torching time talking rhymes in I'll come back again Would you like to play With the thought of a friend In a distant passing stage While you lie around With your hands up and out So resigned you will fall down While you around here play Wild on the warm and far away While you around here play The days keep scribbling themselves in tidy lines Would you like to play With a fool holding hands With a one-eyed jack of spades While on the deck they sing All of the captain's cards are kings Still he and the queen are lost at sea I hope it isn't you and me And I'll be back 'round again Yes I'll walk in time with you old friend And we'll find that place that we danced in so long ago And in plays to write the wire in I'll come back again Torching time talking rhymes in I'll come back again With this resigned the letter I sign |

All I could hope is to have you To have you walking with me Laughing so in love, we two Almost drunkenly I did imbibe of this Fantasy of you and me Was I a fool to think? The way you looked at me I swear you did But you looked away too quick Was I a fool, was I a fool to think That you would take me home As if I was yours Was I a fool to think at all? I′ve grown tired of love You are the trouble with me I watch you walk right by I smile, you do not notice me Treat me recklessly All you do is toss me pennies out But the silence in me is screaming Won′t you come and get me? Was I a fool to think?

Hello, how are you doing today
I hope I find you feeling healthy I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today On our way into the night We'll find love inside in here, many shadows in the darkness baby, it's you and I who bring it to the light Love, when I approach, a tear falls like rain, you tell me Baby, your hearts into a thousand pieces Stop only the old and wise, with clouded eyes, You can't see what I can't hide Blindly throw my faith to the face Of the next pretty girl to come my way So here we are all of us stand around We're leaning heavy on each other Always wondering what is it lies behind the worried eyes of one another I believe its love that's hiding there in the shadows, in the darkness Maybe we'll shed a little light and it will shine Love when I approach, my tears that fall like rain as you know Maybe, my heart's into a thousand pieces Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes You can't see what I can see Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face Of the next good thing that comes my way I say it's love, so share it out, share it fair, but share it now though Maybe things are better world and they could be ours Love as I approach the tears they fall like rain you tell me Baby your heart's into a thousand pieces dashed Stop Only old and wise with clouded eyes You can see what I can I blindly throw my faith To the face of the next good thing to come my way |

Oh I am bounce around so well Branch to branch, limb to limb you see All in a day's dream I'm stuck Like the other monkeys here I am a humble monkey Sitting up in here again But then came the day I climbed out of these safe limbs Ventured away Walking tall, head high up and singing I went to the city Car horns, corners and the gritty Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen Monkey see, monkey do Then comes the day Staring at myself I turn to question me I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well Oh things were quiet then In a way they were the better days But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen Monkey see, monkey do Monkey see, monkey do |

Fall back again, fall back again, Fall back again, fall back again Oh, life it seems a struggle between What we see what we do I'm not going to change my ways Just to please you or appease you Look at this crowd, six billion proud Willing to punch it out Right, wrong, weak, strong Ashes to ashes all fall down Look around about this round About this merry-go-round and around If at all God's gaze upon us falls It's with a mischievous grin, look at him Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that Our emotions can be kept at bay Forget about being guilty, We are innocent instead For soon we will all find our lives swept away Look at me in my fancy car And my bank account Oh, how I wish I could take it all down Into my grave, I'd save Take a look again, take a look again, Take a look again Everyday things change,...stay the same Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that your emotions can be Wept away, kept at bay Forget about being guilty, i am innocent instead For soon we will all find our lives swept away You seek up an emotion And our cup is overflowing You seek up an emotion, Sometimes your well is dry You seek up a big monster For him to fight your wars for you But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not Going--ha, ha Say, oh say Late at night with TV's hungry child His belly swells Oh, for a price of a coke or a smoke I could keep alive those hungy eyes Take a look again, take a look again Take a look again Every day things change But basically you and me stay the same(*) Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that Our emotions can be kept at bay Intentions are not wicked, Don't be tricked into thinking so Soon we will all find our lives swept away You seek up an emotion And our cup is overflowing You seek up an emotion, Sometimes your well is dry You seek up a big monster For him to fight your wars for you But when he finds his way to you, The devil's not going--ha, ha Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again... |

And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again Torching time talking rhymes in I'll come back again Would you like to play With the thought of a friend In a distant passing stage While you lie around With your hands up and out So resigned you will fall down While you around here play Wild on the warm and far away While you around here play The days keep scribbling themselves in tidy lines Would you like to play With a fool holding hands With a one-eyed jack of spades While on the deck they sing All of the captain's cards are kings Still he and the queen are lost at sea I hope it isn't you and me And I'll be back 'round again Yes I'll walk in time with you old friend And we'll find that place that we danced in so long ago And in plays to write the wire in I'll come back again Torching time talking rhymes in I'll come back again With this resigned the letter I sign |

You cannot quit me so quickly
There's no hope in you for me No corner you could squeeze me But I got all the time for you love The space between The tears we cry... Is the laughter that keeps us coming back for more The space between... The wicked lies we tell and hope to keep safe from the pain But will I hold you again These fickle fuddled words confuse me Like will it rain today We waste the hours with talking, talking These twisted games we're playing We're strange allies With warring hearts What a wild eyed beast you be The space between The wicked lies we tell and hope to keep safe from the pain But will I hold you again Will I hold Look at us spinning out in the madness of a roller coaster You know you went off like the devil in the church In the middle of a crowded room All we can do my love Is hope we don't take this ship down The space between Where you smile and hide Is where you'll find me if I get to go The space between The bullets in our fire fight Is where I'll be hiding waiting for you The rain that falls Splashed in your heart Ran like sadness down the window into your room The space between our wicked lies is Where we hope to keep safe from pain Take my hand Cause we're walking out of here Right out of here Love is all we need dear The space between What's wrong and right Is where you'll find me hiding Waiting for you The space between In your heart and mine Is the space we'll fill with time The space between |

We were above
You were standing underneath us We were not yet lovers Dragons were smoked Bumblebees were stinging us I was soon to be crazy Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die 'Cause we're Tripping Billies We're wearing nothing Nothing but our shadows Shadows falling down on the beach sand Remembering once, Out on the beaches we wore Pineapple grass bracelets So why would you care To get out of this place You and me and all our friends Such a happy human race 'Cause we're Tripping Billies We are all sitting Legs crossed round a fire My yellow flame she dances Tequila drinking, oh, our Minds will wander To wondrous places So why would you care To get out of this place You and me and all our friends Such a happy human race Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die Check 'em out, Boyd, yeah! Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die Eat, drink, and be merry For tomorrow we die |

Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking Love, you drive me to distraction Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years Or more if not for this, Our flesh and blood It ties you and me right up Tie me down Celebrate we will Because life is short but sweet for certain hey We climb on two by two To be sure these days continue Things we cannot change Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth Grown tired of water all the time You quench my heart and, you quench my mind Celebrate we will 'Cause life is short but Sweet for certain We climb on two by two To be sure these days continue Things we cannot Celebrate you and me Climb two by two, to be sure These days continue Things we cannot change Oh, my love I came to you With best intentions You laid down and gave to me Just what I'm seeking Celebrate we will 'Cause life is short But sweet for certain hey We climb two by two To be sure these days continue Things we cannot change... Things we cannot change. |

Hey reckless mind
Don't throw away your playful beggining You and I let us fumble around in the touches And be sure to Leave all the lights on So I can see the black cat changing colors And walk under ladders And travel my eyes over you Hey we have found Becoming one in a million Slip into the crowd This question I found in the gap in the sidewalk Keep all your sights on The black cat changing colors I can walk under ladders And swim as the tides choose to turn me And here I sit Life goes on, end of tunnel, TV set Spot in the middle Static fade, statistic bit And soon I fade away, fade away This, I admit Taste so good, hard to believe an end to it Smell touch feel How could this rhythm ever quit Bags packed on a plane Hopefully to heaven Shut up I'm thinking I had a clue now it's gone forever Sitting over these bones You can read in whatever you're needing to Keep all your sights on The big bad black cat that's Changing colors It's not the colors that matter But that they'll all fade away This I admit Seems so full Hard to believe an end to it Warehouse is bare Nothing at all inside of it Walls and halls have disappeared My love I love to stay here In the warehouse |

Up and down the puppies' hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere 'Cause of original sin Down the hill fell Jack and Jill And you came tumbling after 'Cause of original sin Rip away the tears Drink a hope to happy years And you may find A lifetime's passed you by What would you say Dont' drop the big one If you a monkey on a string well Don't cut my life line If you a doggie on a chain Don't bite the mailman What would you say I was there when the bear Ate his head, thought it was a candy Everyone goes in the end Knock knock on the door Who's it for, theres nobody in here Look in the mirror my friend I don't understand at best I cannot speak for all the rest at mornin rise a lifetime's passed you by What would you say Dont' drop the big one If you a monkey on a string well Don't cut my life line If you a doggie on a chain Don't bite the mailman What would you say Every dog has its day every day has its way Of being forgotten - "Mom, it's my birthday!" whatd you say (then what could you say) what would you say I was there when the bear Ate his head, thought it was a candy Everyone goes in the end Knock knock on the door Who's it for, theres nobody in here Look in the mirror my friend I don't understand at best I cannot speak for all the rest at mornin rise a lifetime's passed you by what would you say? |

Sitting still as stone watching - watching
People walking by you wondering why No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it ? if they ever did What if God shuffled by? One day we might see Doing not a thing Breathing just to breathe We might find some reason But rushing around seems what's wrong with the world Don't lose the dreams inside your head They'll only be there til you're dead Dream Lying on the roof counting The stars that fill the sky I wonder if Someone in the heavens looking back down on me ? I'll never know So much space to believe Funny when you're small The moon follows the car There's no one but you see Hey, the moon is chasing me I worried if I looked away she'd be gone Don't lose the dreams inside your head They'll only be there til you're dead Dream Walking through the wood No cares in the world The world has come to play She's all mine just for a day There's not a moment to lose in the game Don't let the troubles in your head Steal too much time you'll soon be dead So play All fall down It won't be so long now Out of the darkness comes light like a flash You think you can you think you can Sometimes that is the problem Dream little darling dream Spinning on the wind The leaf fell from the limb But everyday should be a good day to die Oh all fall down It won't be too long now Every fire dies I find it hard to explain how I got here I think I can I think I can Then again I will falter Dream little darling dream Spinning on the wind The leaf fell from the limb |

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief Too much confusion I can't get no relief Business men, they drink my wine Plow men dig my Earth None of them along the line Know what any of it's worth No reason to get excited The thief he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I we've been through all that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now The hour is getting late All along the watchtower Princes kept their view while all the women, all the women, all the women, came and went Barefoot servants too Outside in the cold distance A wild cat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... The money safe The thief he take The money safe The thief he take No reason to get excited |

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth, bite to eat and he's rolling Never changes a thing The week ends, the week begins She thinks, we look at each other Wondering what and the other is thinking But we never say a thing And these crimes between us grow deeper Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Goes to visit his mommy She feeds him well, has concerns He forgets them And remembers being small Playing under the table and dreaming... Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Driving in on this highway All these cars end up on the sidewalk People in every direction No words exchanged, No time to exchange when... All the little ants are marching Red and black antennae waving They all do it the same They all do it the same way, Candyman tempting the thoughts of a Sweet tooth tortured by weight loss programs cutting the corners Loose end, loose end, cut cut On the fence, try not to offend Cut cut, cut cut Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Lights down, you up and die. |

Could I have been
A parking lot attendant Could I have been A millionaire in Bel Air Could I have been Lost somewhere in Paris Could I have been Your little brother Could I have been Anyone other than me Could I have been Anyone other than me Could I have been Anyone other than me Could I have been Anyone He stands touch his hair his shoes untied Tongue gaping stare Could I have been a magnet for money? Could I have been anyone other than me? Twenty three and so tired of life Such a shame to throw it all away The images grow darker still Could I have been anyone other than me? Then I Look up at the sky My mouth is open wide, lick and taste What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying Turn, turn we almost become dizzy I am who I am who I am who am I Requesting some enlightenment Could I have been anyone other than me? Sing and dance I'll play for you tonight And thrill at it all Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes But I'll work it out then I Look up at the sky My mouth is open wide, lick and taste What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying Turn, turn we almost become dizzy Falling out of a world of lies Could I have been a dancing nancy A dancing nancy Could I have been anyone other than me? And then I sing and dance Lalala hey, lalala hey, lalala Sing and dance Lalala hey, lalala hey, lalala Sing and dance i play for you tonight, the thrill of it all Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes but i work it out Then i, Look up at the sky My mouth is open wide, lick and taste What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying Turn, turn we almost become dizzy |

So when I beg...you avoid me...because I smell of dirt... hungry, Hungry boy...you won't leave me all alone...the boy won't go Sooner or later we're done Sooner or later I'm gone Because, because Sooner or later we're gone Sooner away Ooh, my head is pounding now...god has all but left me behind... Not a sense of worry...I'm going to drive in and drive out again Drive in drive out I'm leavin Drive in drive out I'll come Drive in drive out I'm leavin Drive in drive out I'm over this arrangement...

When I step into the light
My arms are open wide When I step into the light My eyes searching wildly Would you not like to be Sitting on top of the world with Your legs hanging free Would you not like to be ok, ok, ok? When I'm walking by the water Splish splash me and you takin a bath When I'm walking by the water Come up through my toes To my ankles To my head To my soul And I'm blown away When I'm walking by the water Splish splash me and you takin a bath When I'm walking by the water Come up through my toes To my ankles To my head To my soul And I'm blown away I can't believe that we would Lie in our graves Wondering if we had Spent our living days well I can't believe that we would Lie in our graves Dreaming of things that we Might have been I can't believe that we would Lie in our graves Wondering if we had Spent our living days well I can't believe that we would Lie in our graves Dreaming of things that we Might have been Would you not like to be I can't believe that you Would not like to be Would you not like to be Ok, ok, ok |

Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so well Branch to branch, limb to limb you see All in a day's dream I'm stuck Like the other monkeys here I am a humble monkey Sitting up in here again But then came the day I climbed out of these safe limbs Ventured away Walking tall, head high up and singing I went to the city Car horns, corners and the gritty Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen Monkey see, monkey do Then comes the day Staring at myself I turn to question me I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well Oh things were quiet then In a way they were the better days But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen Monkey see, monkey do Monkey see, monkey do |
