Dark clouds gather in the afternoon Come together just to cry Seagulls struggling against the wind Falling out of the sky Grandma's gathering aluminum cans in a rusty shopping cart Born-againers getting their lives together while my whole world's falling apart Open up your eyes It's happening all around you If it hasn't found you Well You know it's just a matter of time Surprise surprise What do you think the world owes you It's not the way it's supposed to go Well you know It's just a matter of time Songbird sittig in a tree house with a trumpet to her lips I'm laying on my back in the tall green grass staring up at the eclipse Whispers lurking in the alley behind where the children where no shoes Call girls and corner kids hustling saying what do you got to lose Open up your eyes It's happening all around you If it hasn't found you
Well You know it's just a matter of time Surprise surprise What do you think the world owes you It's not the way it's supposed to go Well you know It's just a matter of time And there's nowhere you can run to because the eyes are upon you Some of the coming up hard and hungry Stepping up to take your turn Some of them throwing their money in the fire Just to watch it burn Open up your eyes It's happening all around you If it hasn't found you Well You know it's just a matter of time Surprise surprise What do you think the world owes you It's not the way it's supposed to go Well you know It's just a matter of time
Okay, alright, alright Sydney, whenever you feel unhappy All you have to do is call me, I can make you laugh Sydney, I know that you were wrongly accused I hope you don't lose your sense of humor Allegations made in the schoolyard Soccer moms gossip in the dog park Their bark is worse than their bite They're only a couple of crazy cougars They're bored and spreading their desperate rumors You know that I was never that cool But I won't be taken for a fool If they wanna talk trash they can talk, talk, talk But they better come collect And if you ever need me, call me I'll come running straight to you Straight from the airport (I'll come running) Cut through the customs line (I'll come running) Bust down the courthouse doors (I'll come running) Sydney, I will testify (I'll come running) Sydney, I will testify to ya We were in the basement Just giving our blood on stage and Pretending that we were famous While you were getting framed I went back to my room in Surrey Hills, yes, I did I didn't know you were in trouble until you came in Just as skinny as a twig in my kitchen And told me I was looking at a dead man I said, ""Sydney, you're wrong"" There's a lot of good people living in LA Yes, there are and We won't let nobody take you away No, we won't You know I was never that cool But I won't be taken for a fool If they wanna talk trash they can talk, talk, talk But they better come collect And if you ever need me you just call me I'll come running to you Straight from the airport (I'll come running) Cut through the customs line (I'll come running) Bust down the court house doors (I'll come running) Sydney I will testify (I'll come running) Sydney I will testify (I'll come running) I will testify (I'll come running) I will testify (I'll come running) To ya, to ya, to ya Sydney whenever you think you need me Call me up and I'll come running straight to you I was never that cool But I won't be taken for a fool If the wanna talk trash they can talk, talk, talk But they better come collect And if you ever need me you just call me I come running to ya Straight from the airport (I'll come running) Cut through the customs line (I'll come running) Bust down the court house doors (I'll come running) Sydney I will testify (I'll come running) Sydney I will testify (I'll come running) I will testify (I'll come running) I will testify (I'll come running) To ya, to ya, to ya I will testify
Go if you want to go But I won't follow, just so you know Be if you want to leave But I won't be here when you come home
I'm gonna move to San Francisco Look up some old friends I'm gonna get me a Navy P-coat And an old Mercedes Benz
This old town keeps shrinking There's too many people in my junk I'm gonna do a lot of drinking Cuz it don't hurt when I'm drunk
Go if you want to go But I won't follow, just so you know Be if you want to leave But I won't be here when you come home
I'm gonna rent me an old Victorian Down in the Lower Haight I'm gonna get me an old accordion And play for the tourists on the Golden Gate
I'm gonna plant a little garden Paint my bathroom blue I'm gonna try real hard To get over you
Here in the city, life it don't move so slow There's plenty of good people I know Up in North Beach they drink spicy Italian liqueur Down on Market there's a lot of hobos and hustlers
Down in Hayes Valley there's a lot of good restaurants Deep in the Tenderloin you can have anything you want Over in the Mission it's always a sunny day And it's a real good baseball town, but my team is across the Bay
Go if you want to go But I won't follow, just so you know Be if you want to be But I won't be here when you come home
Brett Dennen - Make You Crazy Feat Femi Kuti Lyrics
You Know, It's hard to be Yourself, Free Yourself, To see Yourself, When all around You there are Lies just to get You, Spies just to get You, To Buy so they can get You?
There are Cameras in the sky, Lasers in our Living rooms, There are Wolves watching wearing Sheep's Costumes?
It's Enough to make You go crazy (woah) It's Enough to make You Mad? It's Enough to make You go crazy (woah) And, I'm amazed I Haven't yet?
Isn't It, A Shame The way We cheat Each other, Treat Each other, Beat Each other??
It's, A Shame The way We use One other, Abuse One another?
And, Screw One another, It's true.
They will Lock You up in Prison, But They won't call it slavery, There are stolen Children raised and Trained in Armies?
It's Enough to make You go crazy (woah) It's Enough to make You Mad? It's Enough to make You go crazy (woah) And I'm amazed I haven't yet?
Don't hesitate to speak Your Mind? (speak Your Mind) Never hesitate to speak Your Heart? (speak Your Heart) They'll call You crazy, When You speak Your Mind? (When You speak Your Mind) So never, Never hesitate? (never hesitate)
'cause It's Enough to make You go crazy? (woah) It's Enough to make You Mad? It's Enough to make You go crazy (woah) And, I'm amazed I haven't yet?
[Femi solo?]
Na sol Them go lock You for Prison? Na sol Them go beat You for Prison? Them No call it slavery? It's him That make Me vex?
Na sol Them go lock You for Prison? Na sol Them go beat You for Prison? It's him That make Me vex? It's him That make Me craze?
It's Enough to make You go crazy? (woah) It's Enough to make You Mad? It's Enough to make You go crazy? (woah) And, I'd be crazy Not to Care?
Well I tasted love so sweet Played around but not for keeps I'd never been knocked off my feet until you came along In the room surrounding me are angels I cannot see I know they come to carry me to where I belong
Closer to you, closer to you I'm singing like a sailor strutting up your avenue Like a clown in a costume shop wearing nothing but my birthday suit Getting closer to you
All the knocks upon your door Footsteps falling on your floor All the shipwrecks on your shore Mean nothing to me All the crooks on Capitol Hill Criminals on the dollar bills All the money on Wall Street still Couldn't keep me from getting
Closer to you. Closer to you Like a priest on a pulpit preaching to an empty room Like a drunk in a dive bar in the early afternoon Closer to you.
Poets could not pronounce your name Gamblers couldn't play the game Matchstick statues set to flame
Couldn't hold a candle to you Swindlers on the Sunset strip Hypnotists and hypocrites Ventriloquists and Pickpockets Wish that they could get
Well I've tasted love so sweet Played around but not for keeps I never been knocked off my feet till you came along
I sit through the trickery The jealousy and vanity The potency of your prophesy Because I long to be
Closer to you. Closer to you Like a hound dog in a junkyard honey I'm howling at the moon Like a Pirate in a pawnshop with a pocket full of jewels
Closer to you (x3)
I'll get through Oh baby I'll get through Closer to you
crows ravaging a field of wheat stars jealous of the moon scarecrows know their own defeat envy and the heart that it consumes
today i walked without you like an empty bottle drifting out to sea i would change it if i knew how to but it don't come that easily
if my heart wasn't such a jungle maybe you wouldn't feel so all alone and if your heart wasn't such an ocean i wouldn't sink like a stone
if you weren't so far from me i could you hold you while you're sleepin and hear ya breathin softly and be there when you wake phone calls cannot complete us letters cannot replace the miles and miles and miles between us
another time another place
if my heart wasn't such a jungle maybe you wouldn't feel so all alone and if your heart wasn't such an ocean i wouldn't sink like a stone
i have yet to meet another who burns bright as you i'm not looking for any other i only want you.
if my heart wasn't such a jungle maybe you wouldn't feel so all alone and if your heart wasn't such an ocean i wouldn't sink like a stone i wouldn't sink like a stone i wouldn't sink like a stone.
Your gonna fall apart It's gonna break your heart Your gonna know that you were wrong Down to the boatyard you'll run Like you did at your graduation Your gonna miss her when she's gone
Who you trying to fool?
Your gonna miss her when she's Your gonna miss her when she's Your gonna miss her when she's gone
You in your second hand suit That you wore to the portrait shoot It was just a dream that you once had Your gonna lose control It's gonna take it's toll on you
You'd better let it drive you mad
Who you trying to fool? What are you trying to prove?
Your gonna miss her when she's Your gonna miss her when she's Your gonna miss her when she's gone
These are the wounds that heal you It's the pain that reveals you
Your gonna miss her when she's Your gonna miss her when she's Your gonna miss her when she's gone
