America Town/The Battle For Everything

You were right
You came over me
What'd never been before
You slid under my door and now I find
A Reason to admit I've been too lazy

But in this light
In this atmosphere
I'm starting to believe
The other side of me but who's to know
Honey, surely one of us is crazy

Maybe I, I'm not so easily stung
Maybe I, I got some love for someone
Maybe I, I'm not the story for you
Maybe I, I'll be the do you ought to do

So now I stand
I never stood before
What's better left unsaid is done, buried and dead and you're alive
Girl I think you might just stay the night

Maybe I, I'm not so easily stung
Maybe I, I got some love for someone
Maybe I, I'll write a story for you
Maybe I, I'll be the do you ought to do

I'm not trying to take it easy
I'm not trying to help you see
I'm not trying to take us over
I'm just trying to believe

Maybe I, I'm not so easily stung
Maybe I, I got some love for someone
Maybe I, I'm just the story for you
Maybe I, I'll be the do you ought to do

Maybe I, I'm not the one for your love
Maybe I, I'll be your heaven above
Maybe I, I'll write a story for two
Maybe I, I'll be the do that you do

Over by the still she says,
"Man I think you better wait for tomorrow!
Take this pillow for your head
And I'll take you."

Back against the beast I went
To feel her coming, hot for a follow up
Here comes the sun again (to see me through)

On and on she takes me from you, my love
On and on she rakes me from you

Happily I leave her fed
Tonight I swear, I swear on tomorrow (wait)
Here comes the sun again
To see me through

On and on she takes me from you, my love
On and on she rakes me from you

Bloody Mary's for all
Bloody Mary's for all

On and on she takes me from you, my love
On and on she rakes me from you

All of my dreams for you to follow
All of my dreams for you to swallow
All of my dreams for you

Baby there's something on my mind tonight
There's a reason to believe we almost got it right
There's a fire burning in the firelight
As we roll on tonight

There's paper promises and alibis
There is certainly uncertainty in all our eyes
But as long as you are here I'll be all right
As we roll on tonight

So you go out, I'll go on
If there's a doubt, we'll be strong
As we go on singing
One more for love my love
One more for love

There's always blood to fill the heart betrayed
There are children being born to every house that's raised
And we're getting closer to where we got it made
As we roll on tonight

So you go out, I'll go on
If there's a doubt, we'll be strong
As we go on singing
One more for love my love
One more for love

I'm never going to wait for anything
Never going to break for anything
Cause I am one more for love my love
One more for love
One more for love my love

Baby there's something on my mind tonight
There's a reason to believe that we got it right
And all and all you're all that's on my mind tonight As we roll on

One more for love my love
One more for love

You were wrong.
You were right.
And you are gone,
Tonight.

You were free.
So alive.
You were wrong.
You were right.

And you were down.
You could see.
And you wore hearts
For me.

You were sharp.
As sharp as knives.
You were wrong.
You were right.

Shot down.
Said you never had the chance.
Took a ride on a suicide romance.
Could have sworn there was somebody home

To facilitate the great unknown.
Woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere.
Don't know where I'm going yet,
But I sure am getting there.

Shotgun fire.
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone.
Alright.
No, it's not easy tonight.

Shotgun fire.
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone.
Alright.
No, it's not easy tonight.

You were bound.
You were free.
And you wear black
For me.

You were dark.
As dark as night.
You were wrong.
Yeah, you were right.

Well, shot down.
Said you never had the chance.
Took a ride on a suicide romance.
Could have sworn there was somebody home

To facilitate the great unknown.
Woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere.
Don't know where I'm going yet,
No, but I sure am getting there.

Shotgun fire.
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone.
Alright.
No, it's not easy tonight.

Shotgun fire.
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone.
Alright.
Hell, it's not easy tonight.

She's in over my head.
And it's not easy, it's not easy tonight.
She's in over my head.
And it's not easy, it's not easy tonight.

Shotgun fire.
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone.
Alright.
It's not easy tonight.

Shotgun fire.
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone.
Alright, yeah.

You were free.
Now your not.
You were free, babe.

I met Jane at the center of the earth
It was dark there was dirt all around
But I gather you can figure that

And Jane says, "I'm your body in the night
And I'll lead you where you might find yourself
Better if you follow me"

So go right you'll be left at a big hotel
You'll meet the Devil at the bottom of a wishing well
You know you better give him something
Give him something good
Like everybody else he's misunderstood

Jane says, "It's a long way out
But I'm gonna make it out
'Cause I'm about her"

See Jane says, "You're as holy as a ghost
But who loves you the most, if you offer
I might let you carry me"

And Jane there's nobody here but yourself
In the end it's the wealth of your spirit
Now hurry up get on with it

I went left, I got right at some big hotel
There was a Devil at the bottom of the wishing well
He said, "You better give me something
Give me something good
Like everybody else I'm misunderstood"

Jane says, "It's a long way out
I'm gonna make it out
'Cause I'm about

Jane says, "It's a long way out
I'm gonna make it out
I'm gonna make it out
I'm gonna make it out"

I took a guess and cut a portion out of my heart
He said that's nowhere close enough but it's a damn good start
I wrote the secret that I buried on the wishing well wall
He said, "I've seen one it follows that I've seen them all"

We spoke of human destination in a perfect world
Derived the nature of the universe found it unfulfilled
As I took him in my arms he screamed, "I'm not insane
I'm just looking for someone to understand my pain"

It's a long way out
I'm gonna make it out
It's a long way out
I'm gonna make it out
It's a long, it's a long way out
I'm gonna make it out

Take off your shoes, take off yourself
Take off your rented mental health
Take off your raincoat, settle down
Take off your nightmare and your frown
There is a place for you to go
To see another ringer in a rock show
Take my pretense for a time
Cause I want to say to you

I'm nobody without you, buddy
My long lost friend

If you're not here to hear me scream
Am I silent like a dream
Where all the dragons are my friends
Each night we meet our bitter ends
Do I need you to make me real
Like Wheeler spinning his own wheel
Quantum strings within my brain
Popping sanities insane

I'm nobody without you, buddy
My long lost friend

Not everybody has a brain
Not everybody's going sane
Not everybody wishes well
Not everybody's heaven's hell
Sometimes there's someone to blame
Sometimes a place for shame
Sometimes good's better than bad
Sometimes good's better than bad
Sometimes good's better than bad
Sometimes you're better than me

Heaven fell on herself tonight
As the devil met me in the wishing well
And in that moment I found myself knowing
That in the end it's just about you and me
Nothing smaller or larger
Though dragons are good for the soul
Nothing can be better than baring yourself for another,
Open for scrutiny, ridicule, and indulgence
Therein lies the balls, and the mind, and the heart,
As fear is truly the Mindkiller,
When nothing is left,
Everything is gained,
You see I wish I was a poet
But I know as we go round and round
Though endings are never ever happy
It's the happy moments along the way
That in the end
Make it, OK

I'm fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm twenty two for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live
I'm thirty three for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm of age
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm forty five for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy, time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
Fifteen I'm all right with you
Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
Sixty seven is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on
I'm ninety nine for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
Fifteen there's still time for you
Twenty two I feel her too
Thirty three you're on your way
Every day's a new day
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live

Put away your tears and your sleepy eyes
Put away that bullshit, big boys they don't cry to their mommas
she'll be back soon
Put away your raincoat and make your bed
Take another bullet right to your head
Now, we're going on a picnic and we'll get there soon

And she says, maybe it's over
He says, there's plenty more fish in the sea
I say, don't go away from me

Now put away your dinner and have a snack
Tie your little brother up in a sack now
We're moving to the country and we'll get there soon (she says)

Now, pack up all the things that you don't deserve
Take another swing, well here comes a curve ball
I bet you can't hit it 'cause you'll swing to soon

And she says, maybe it's over
He says, there's plenty more fish in the sea
I say, don't go away, don't go away
Please don't go away, from me
But can you take it to hard
I'll never leave you

Take those damn pictures off of that shelf
Put away your mommy you don't need her
I found you a new one, she'll be here soon

And she says, my God it's over,
He says, I found another fish in the sea
I say, why me?
Why me?
Why me?
Why is it me?

Heaven fell from the sky tonight
There were virgins in my backyard chasing angels with fire sticks
Heaven fell on herself tonight
And Moses lay in pieces from some seventeen year old bomb

Here we go, someone's knocking at my window
Here we go, I didn't ask for this shit
Here we go, someone's knocking at my window
Here we go, I didn't ask for it, ask for it, ask for it

Heaven fell from the sky tonight
And the whole damn world invited themselves to my Sunday BBQ

Heaven fell and it's not all right
And God won't dare show his face from of the bottom of my swimming pool

Here we go, someone's knocking in my window
Here we go, I didn't ask for this shit
Here we go, someone's knocking at my window
Here we go, I didn't ask for it, ask for it, ask for it

La lee be la lee
La lee be lo
Here comes the fire trucks, open the show
Here in the spotlight, which way did they go
Which way did they go

Heaven fell on herself tonight

Got to get away from here,
Got to get away from all these thinkers, drinking up my thoughts again
Got to get away from here,
Got to get away from all these choosers, losers, all my best of friends
Sit back new york city
You're not cute but you're oh so pretty
When the rain comes you fall up again,
Sunny, you are a part of me
Sunny, you are the heart of me

Got to get away from here,
Got to get away from all these people who need people
You know it really makes me sick
Got to get away from here,
Got to get away from expectations, recreations, just for the sake of it

Sit back new york city
You're not cute but you're oh so pretty
When the rain comes you fall up again,
Sunny, you are a part of me
Sunny, you are the heart of me

Sit back new york city
You're not cute but you're oh so pretty
When the rain falls you come up again
Sit back new york city friend

Got to get away from here,
Got to get away from what I'm thinking, I'm thinking, it's too much for anyone
Got to get away from here,
Got get away from what you're drinking, you're drinking, so I'll take another one
