 Goodbye Blue Monday » Ang lyrics [+ Idagdag +] |

1. _ Sula
All the songs to sing been sung
All the things to do been done
You got nowhere left to go
All the dreams to dream been dreamed
All the things to see been seen
Guess you better find your way back home
[Chorus]
Dear ol' Sula
Knew I'd lose ya
I ain't been waitin' for you
All the things to feel been felt
All the pretty roses smelled
Sit back these days, get left behind
All the things to touch been touched
Baby grown, you learned so much
Pick a grape and turn it into wine
[Chorus]
All the songs to sing been sung
Can't take the honey if you don't get stung
Sting a bee, sing a bird a song
All the dreams to dream been dreamt
In my bones you never left
Ain't it bitter-sweet like home-sweet-home
[Chorus]
Dear ol' Sula
Knew I'd fool ya
I ain't been waiting

2. _ Jolene
The sun so high and lonely burst into flame
I was her one and only, she was my same
[Chorus]
Don't cry for me Jolene
Wipe your tears away
Been an orphan since I was born and
I been dyin' since that day
I chase her west for hours, she slips away
Long dark clouds come between us, she cries like rain
[Chorus]
On and on I will run
If I can keep up with you I'll stay young forever
When I got to California, she dropped in the ocean
I felt the world inside me turn another day older

3. _ 16mm Dream
Floating up from the bottom
Words try to find me again
She was bare foot and careless
I was relentless as sin
Stop frame the colors bleed
Those moments in time I never even seen
Smiling with determination
Her eyes betray worries to me
Okay, nothing ain't perfect
But perfect ain't nothing anyway
It all just depends on what you see
My eye is the lens and the camera is me
[Chorus]
Those words don't mean much
'Cause I don't believe in me
You're my silent
Sixteen millimeter dream memory
Walking down to the water
Follow the lines on our hands
See ourselves in the bubbles
That wash up our feet on the sand
Stop frame the colors bleed
Those moments in time I never even seen
[Chorus]

4. _ High School
Bubble gum and house parties
When you stole your parent's rum and
Tried to screw everything that could breathe
Back in high school
We didn't have a whole lot to do and
Watched the world go by on a television screen
Said it's the nineties kids
That's way out, this is way in
Go beat each other up on the dance floor
It told us drugs were no good but then we smoked 'em and
Liked 'em so much we smoked a little more.
We liked 'em so much we smoked a little more
[Chorus]
Did I call your name, did you hear me
Singing that song I wrote for you
You're so the same, but you're so different
I didn't recognize you
It's kinda hard with all that sexual confusion
Sometimes you don't know if you're gay or straight
But what's the difference, it's a wonderful delusion and
Most times you won't make it past second base
I'm in a band, we kinda suck
But we don't know it yet and I don't care anyway
Soon I'm gonna sell these drums, pay my rent, support my kid and
Tell him all about way back in daddy's day
I'll tell him all about way back in daddy's day
[Chorus]
Some years later by a soda coolerator
In the corner store back in my hometown, this stranger smiles at me
He said remember the class of '93 and
For some reason it makes him look real proud
After all the good times he said we had he looks at me
Scratches his head and asks me where the hell I ever went and
The funny thing is, I never even knew him
But he could've been any one of my high school friends
[Chorus]

5. _ Left Behind
It's cold when it's October here
But the leaves are burnin' red
There's one still hanging on my tree
That just won't give into the wind
I had faith in one thing
That was gravity
But you took my feet from the ground so high
I don't know what that word even means
[Chorus]
You're always dreamin' so far ahead
I feel a little left behind
We will never find each other my love
In the same place at the same time
You never saw yourself as an artist
I never saw a portrait like your smile
We never saw each other first time we looked
But good things take a while
And you wish to have it figured out
Every detail of your life
Well it's kind of a drag to think about
You not figuring into mine
[Chorus]
So I'm putting this love for you out there
And it will not be bound by time
I'll be in your hands as a deck of cards
And on your lips like cheap red wine
|

6. _ Cigarette
It keeps you up
From the back of your mind
To the tip of your tongue
Reaching out lookin for mine
[Chorus:]
I'll be your cigarette
Light me up and get on with it
I'll be hard to forget
Good or bad I'm just a habit
Good or bad I'm just your habit
Sweet relief
That's what you come and get from me
I give up everytime
You want it you got it I'm burnin down
[Chorus]
And you try to put me down
Everytime you come back around
And you try to put me away
Tell yourself you'll kick it someday
[Chorus]

7. _ Lay Down (Ballad of Rigoberto Alpizar)
I can't say I feel sorry
I can't say if I am sad
Showed up for work Miami airport
Like any God-fearing man
We all like to bear witness
And believe what we see is true
But I was there to protect the freedom shared
By the privileged likes of you
Let my eye be the jury and the judgment
Let my gun be the one to set the score
[Chorus]
You will lay down, you will lay down
You will lay down you've been warned
You will lay down, you will lay down
You're guilty for being born
Don't look at me for any answers
Just like you I am confused
I took the life of Rigoberto Alpizar
'Cause I'm just trained to follow through
Let my heart be the part by which you judge me
Like the sun in everyone it is pure
[Chorus]
This is freedom, this is freedom
Do you want more
[Chorus]

8. _ American Girls
Pick my name
Call my number
Pull me under
Drag me down
Stereophonic
Hi-fi bondage
Yeah she's on it
Like the deaf explaining sound
It's the characteristic assassination
Of the pixelated generation
The photogenic violation
Of a shutter closing down
[Chorus]
There's flames and bullets in the street
American girls got me beat
I'm naked on this leash
American girls with American dreams
Walk on me
And her eyes
Are the sky, blue and wide
Dropping bombs, planting mines
She paints my world in red
When it hurts
I admit it could be worse
It's a sin and it's a curse
Like her motel Bible says
She misinterprets my expectations
Makes dirty word-extrapolations
Met with violent confrontation
Over things she said I said
[Chorus]
Communication
Complication
Diplomatic negotiations
Fuckin' up my situation
[Chorus]
American Girls (walk on me)
American Girls (walk on me)
American Girls (walk on me)
American Girls (walk on me)

9. _ Goodbye Blue Monday
The treetops sing like an angel's choir
My old sneakers swing from a telephone wire
Neon stutters in the window
Where you pawned your wings and hung up your halo
I used to think you were my religion
I bathed in your smile and your evangelism
A dime a dozen, one in a million
I guess my prayers couldn't change your decision
Goodbye, blue Monday
You're a red balloon, I got nowhere to be
But I gotta stick around in this field of your gravity
Lift me up, lift me up and take me home
You can't measure the sky and call it your own
I'm a satellite in your solar system
Orbit inside this perfect collision
A dime a dozen, one in a million
I guess my sign couldn't change your decision
Goodbye, blue Monday
It's alright now honey
It's not like we're makin' a break
You've become a part of me
Like every good mistake I ever made
You fell in love with your ambition
White noise lies on the television
A dime a dozen, one in a million
I guess my vote couldn't change your decision
Goodbye, blue Monday

10. _ Scar That Never Heals
She's my polyrhythm
Carryin' my heart like the beat
So fast I can't keep up
My prayers sing the melody
She runs guns everyone wants guns
She runs guns everyone wants there she goes
She runs guns everyone wants guns
She runs guns everyone wants there she goes
Why you wanna save me?
Lord my soul is taken
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
She cried, I cried so hard
Left her for the L.R.A.
Fly by like a million hornets
These bullets know my name
She runs guns everyone wants guns
She runs guns everyone wants there she goes
She runs guns everyone wants guns
She runs guns everyone wants there she goes
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
I done too much damage
Got nothing left to feel
My self is broke and bandaged
Her love is a scar that never heals
Why you wanna save me?
Lord my soul is shaken
Why you wanna save me?
Lord my soul is taken
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
I'm so lonely?

11. _ Fall for Anything
Is the world so big, it makes you feel small
Is the hole you dig, deep enough at all
The graveyard is full my grandma used to say
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything
Is time worth saving in paper dollar bills
'Cause we always just done it don't mean we always will
Is it worth singing along if you have a song to sing
If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything
Can one single person make a change if they try
It's true all the martyrs that ever lived already died
Is the road so long we're gonna have to drive
If you don't stand for something, you will fall too far behind
Is there meaning in all these words that we say
Is there reason for living life anyway
Is confusion a state like Iowa or Maine
If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything
Are the waters so rough 'cause we tried to scrub them clean
Do we mean the things we do, do we do the things we mean
When a child is born, is it because she has sinned
If she tries to stand for something, will she take the fall for everything
When the day has come your shadow lost it's light
Will you see in the darkness who was wrong and who was right
Will the devil pay your tab and take you home with him
'Cause you either stand for something or you fall for anything
