unknown

Listen to my bluebird sing. she can tell you why. deep within her heart you see. she knows i must cry. yeah, cry. here she sits aloft that bird. strangest color blue. flying is forgotten now. sh
T thinks of you. yeah, you. so with all those blues. must be a thousand used. each was differently used. you just know. you sit there mesmerized. by the depth of her eyes. can't be categorized. she got soul. she got soul. she got soul. she got soul. do u think she loves you. do u think. at all. soon she's going to fly away. worries of her own. find herself another day. and go home. go home.

I can't take no more
I'm so tired of running in somebody else's shoes
What's it all been for
What's the use of paying for somebody else's dues

I've been on the road for someone else's dreams
Now i'm trying to find my way back again
It's time to break some rules
And stop before the fire in me cools

Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And i'm going back where no one's been before
Some day
I'll show you something new
I've got my way
To try and wipe the tears from my eyes

I'm half scared to death
Think i'm right but what if i'm wrong
I've got one shot left
The door is open now but not long
The room's full of faces that i've never seen
Like a million pair of eyes looking down
The smoke is blinding me
But i can still see my destiny

Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And i'm going back where no one's been before
Some day
I'll show you something new
I've got my way
Of trying to wipe the tears from my eyes

(repeat chorus and fade)

Keep searchin' for someone to tell me the truth
It seems like the longer i wait
Hesitate, it comes down to you
Time won't heal
Love ain't real anymore

Halfway to daylight
And my heart is open wide
It seems like the time that we shared
When we cared
It has passed us by
Life ain't fair, when i stare
At this picture of you
I feel the touch of your hand
And the look in your eyes
Oh! don't ya know i feel just like dying
When the tears start to fall
And my heart turns to stone
I'm tellin' you baby
I never walk alone

Life ain't fair, when i stare
At this picture of you
I still feel the touch of your hand
And the look in your eyes
Oh! lord i feel like dying
Cause when the tears start to fall
And my heart turns to stone
I never walk alone

When i became of age
My momma sat me down
She said, son you've grown up
It's time to look around
So i began to notice some things i
Hadn't seen before
That's what brought me hope
Knockin' on your back door

A closet queen, the worst i've seen
She wants to shake my hand
I don't want to be there
When she decides she can
It's apple dan, he's just the man
To pick fruit off your branches
I can't sleep if he can't keep
His cattle off my ranches

It's too strong, something's wrong
And i guess i lost the feeling
I don't mind the games you play
But i don't like you dealing
The cards look bad, my luck's been had
And there's nothin' left to smoke
Will all be back tomorrow
For the punch line of the joke

Mysterious ways

I must have aged 20 years in the last seven days
Livin on emotion disbelief and rage
I found out the hard way life is what you make
Sometimes you gotta learn to give yourself a break

You can go where you want to go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all if you just believe

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancin to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways

Accidents can happen and they always do
It only takes a twist of fate to turn on you
I was in the wrong place at just right time
I thought she was a lover not a friend of mine

You can do what you wanna do
You can screw who you want to screw
In the end it's the fantasy
Not reality that will set you free

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancin to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways.

And once it's inside of me
It's like a symphony
You're on a cloud and can't come down
It's like a dream then you come around

You can go where you want to go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all if you just believe

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancin to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways

I'm holding on
It's all that i can do
I can't imagine
Me without you
All alone
I close my eyes
And wake up screaming in the middle of the night
This heart
Don't need it anymore

Swear your love
Say that you remember
Share your love
Hear me calling out your name
I swear my love
Wait a little longer
How will it feel to be left
Standin' there all alone

You're on your own
If you walk through that door
I'm kust a man
I can't give anymore
Somewhere deep inside
There's a memory that keeps you run and hide
You gotta know
You got a place to go

(chorus)

Somewhere deep inside
There's a memory that keeps you run and hide
You gotta know
You got a place to go

(repeat chorus, fade)

Does it matter if it works out as planned. when the author is the pen in your hand. when your mind does what you don't understand. remember that a sentiment changes every day. as every sun leave
Dows, arrows pointing every way. hey, look around, this is you. don't you worry 'cos it's fine to be confused. when you're questioning your fate. in time, you will see. all that makes you who you are, will become so clear to you. and don't you love the things you hate. life will give its gift if we don't hesitate. some see the paper, then throw the present away. if you feel you're dying and the clock just makes you wait. time may find us in tomorrow looking for today. hey look around, this is you. don't you worry 'cos it's fine to be confused. when you're questioning your fate. in time, you will see. all that makes you who you are, will become so clear to you. you should love the things you hate.

Cruisin' down the street
Got the glaze in my eyes
Lookin' for a thousand reasons why
I don't want to be here
I don't want to die
What was i thinking we should have known
All the lights are one
But there's nobody home

Drive a crooked road

Stop inside a liquor store
Just to grab a taste
Man behind the counter
Don't recognize my face
Give me all your money
Got not time to waste
What was i thinking
We should have known
All the lights are one
But there's nobody home

Chorus:
Drive a crooked road
Drive a crooked road
Satisfy your soul
Drive a crooked road

I just ran out of time
I just ran out of luck
I've never been busted
And this ain't even my truck
Everybody's laughin'
Nobody cares
It seems like there's red
Flashin' lights everywhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sittin' in the darkness
I'm staring at the bars
Couldn't drive too fast
I couldn't drive too far
I could have been somebody
I could have been a star
Should have stayed at home
Should have stayed in bed
Thought i heard this crazy
Screaming, screaming in my head, said

(chorus)

What was i thinking
We should have known
All the lights are one
But there's nobody home

(chorus)

When it's over...you're always the last one to know. it's a feeling...that nobody wants to show. even though it's killing me. i still blame myself. i wish i could change, but lord knows i know t
Can't. all the feelings...twisting inside my head. i know it's too late...the past i can't seem to forget. if i could change the circumstance. i'd never let you go. i can't hide from the thruth and i want you to know. when i reach out my hand there's nobody there i can touch anymore. when i call out your name. the pain rips right through me like never before. is it too much to ask for one last memory. cause yesterday you said, you'd always be there for me. don't know what's harder...the truth or reality. i hit a brick wall. painted with honesty. i wish that i could give to you, all the things you need. but the one thing i can't is making you leave. (repeat chorus)

I feel a change coming over me
It seems i felt this way before
I sense the sound your eyes won't let you see
I can't take it anymore

Crashing windows, crash
Laughing voices, keep on laughing,
Oh, oh, oh
Stop for a minute

Chorus:
I chase the shadows and light
To a palce no one knows
I hear the screams of the wind
And i know it's the
Darkest night of the year

Can't tell the dreams from reality
My fears are one and the same
So who made me part of destiny
Who made me part of their game
Can't you feel it hurt
Too much pain to endure
Stop for a minute

(chorus)

Cold wind on my skin
Is the pain that i feel when you're near
It's a midnight street
Where we'll meet
And we'll run from the
Darkest night of the year

Crashing windows, crash
Laughing voices, keep on laughing,
Oh, oh, oh
Stop for a minute

(chorus)

Never should rush into things. shouldn't spill the wine before its time. wait and see what fortune brings. waste away till you can't see the signs. always taught to play it safe. wouldn't stick
Neck out if you could. everything is in its place. might as well be chiseled out of wood. and your time's running thin. it's slipping through your fingers. with your chance to begin. forever again. don't know what you're waiting for. don't need a reservation just to live. you might be expecting more. but you won't get more than you have to give. and that's just the way i is. everyday it rains somewhere. you've got to make the best of what you have. you could tie a train out there. you better get some sunshine while you can. but you've heard this before. it's ancient information. just walk through the door. it's not that complicated. (repeat chorus)

Blue eyes, black skies and clouds filled with pain. disguise the emptiness, the disdain. late calls, long halls with words no one hears. reveals the loneliness and the years. like going backward
A revolving door. i don't know which way's out anymore. i can't run from the real truth. and not be living a lie. you can't hide from the fate chasing you. and watch it, from somebody else's eyes. cold hearts, cruel thoughts can destroy the faith. just ask the singer who hell from grace. but things change and strange days can turn a point of view. just time till everyone gets their due. i may not save the world but i'll save myself. can't depend on somebody else.

This town has got me running scared
We're running out of time girl
Slogans painted everywhere
Messin' up my dream world

I'm trying to make it on my own
Find it all by myself
I can take the overflow,
Could've been me or you
Just like somebody else

I ain't going anywhere
Without you by my side girl
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

Chorus:
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will last forever

Breathing in this filthy air
Is tearing me in two girl
I hear the sirens every night
Like echoes in a cruel world

Nothing that i say or do
Seems to matter at all
Everyone is so confused that's why i had to call

Just hearing you across the line
Is good enough for me girl
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

Chorus:
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will go on forever

Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will last forever

(repeat chorus and fade)

World of fear
Dying sun
Amber tears
Wars to be won
World grown old
Lost to man
All alone
All but forgotten
Same extinction blues
You've heard before the
Same old news
You and i
Last chance
Age of ice
Frozen romance
Time repeats
Death to life
Heartbeats
Save us tonight
Same extinction blues

It's great to be optimistic
And look at the world
Through rose colored eyes
Tell you what not to wish for
Mountains don't move
When you want them to
Same extinction blues
You've heard before
The same old news
Extinction blues

Smoke-colored l.a. sky. hand covers up your sleepless eyes. as morning creeps in. passed out there on my couch. wearing the face of down and out. my long lost friend. three cups of coffee and yo
Be on your way. until this time tomorrow you come crawling. back again. open your heart to me. think of my shoulder as sanctuary. open your soul to me. i'll try to unravel your tangled up dreams. and the only thing that matters is your heart stays open for me. i always pictured you. as clear minded but confused with wounds. no one could see. you always made the friends. that never stuck with you until the end. except for me. and the only difference i hear is your alibi. and the only thing in common is the reason. you're still here. open your heart to me. think of my shoulder as sanctuary. open your soul to me. i'll try to unravel your tangled up dreams. and the only thing that matters is your heart stays open for me. i can feel your loneliness. i feel your pain.

Night after night, day after day. i pass by the house that once was our home. i look through the windows, i lean on the bell. there's a light but there's no sign of you. the stranger's new car i
Driveway tells me your there. i know you're there. i feel like a chump doing time on the street. low life and useless as the rags on my feet showin' through. you don't know how much i hate everything about you. your honey red lips and your eyes big and sparkling blue. the curve of your hips and your black irish hair. sends a shiver that runs through me too. you don't know how much i hate you, wish it was true. the alleys are dark, sidewalks are bare. time's on my hands empty and cold. i'm looking for something to knock out the night. till the sun comes up shining like new. the chill in my bones reminds me life isn't fair. and nobody cares. to the lost souls surviving on hard knocks and vice. in a world just as nasty as your world is nice. (baby blue). you don't know how much i hate everything about you. your voic
E like good bourbon so elegant, tasteful and smooth. you're a goddess, a priestess, a temptress, a queen. greta garbo's got nothing on you. you don't know how much i hate you, wish it was true. you were kind to my brother. and good to my friends. you were passionate, faithful and strong. i must have been sleeping. it feels like a dream. i can't tell just where i went wrong. like a dog in the garbage with rocks in my head. i'm strung out and crazy and can't find the thread, running through. you don't know how much i hate everything about you. the poison that runs through my veins telling me what to do. with a flick of a match i could burn down this house. taking every last memory of you. you don't know how much i hate you. i say, you don't know how much i hate you. you don't know how much i hate you. i wish it was true. oh, yes i do.
