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

I took her leaving like I did before
I turned around and I asked for more
And she didn't even mean a thing to me

I left my spirit at the chapel door
I sailed around til I lost the war
And you didn't even think to send a thing

But I'm alright, alright, I feel alright
I never been better in my life
You know the score

I'm just fine, I'm fine, feeling fine
A regular sawed off valentine
That nothing more

I hit my head upon the chamber door
And all the marbles rolled on the floor
And all the psychos in the ward start screaming

I'm alright, alright, I feel alright
I never been better in my life
You know the score

I'm just fine, I'm fine, feeling fine
A regular sawed off valentine
That nothing more

My baby

I'm alright, alright, I feel alright
I never been better in my life
You know the score

I'm just fine, I'm fine, feeling fine
A regular sawed off valentine
That nothing more

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

I woke up got my lazy ass out of bed
I watered all the rocks growing in my head
I had a thought, and fell asleep on you

There I was somewhere west of tomorrow land
Flying through the stars just like peter pan
I said, damn this looks too good to be true

There she goes, my heart again (would you mind rolling over)
I can feel it in the air (something's coming down)
I don't know and I don't care that it's a small world

It's a nice day if you wake up in Disneyland,
It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland

In my dream everybody's got a little house
A dog, a bank account managed by mickey mouse
And the only thing we fight about is the Lakers

In my dream all the pirates down in Neverland
Never get the hook, they just get a hand
While the Crocs sing superman till we just can't take it

There she goes, my heart again (do you mind rolling over)
I can feel it in the air (something's coming down)
I don't know and I don't care if it's a small world

It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland,
It's a nice day if you wake up in Disneyland

We can fly away

I woke up got my lazy ass out of bed
I watered all the rocks growing in my head
I had a thought, and I looked up to see

The sign read the park she's closed today
E-tickets don't work here no more anyway
Where every day's a magic day to be free you see

It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland
It's a nice day should you wake up in Disneyland
It's your l.u.c.k.y. day should you wake up in Disneyland
It's a nice day should you wake up in Disneyland

I met her down at a Pineapple Parking lot
She said I love you more
I said I love you not
And all the while I stood in line at the paint shop

She said I'll take you where you'll never go again
I'll be your only love
You'll be my only friend
And for your time I'll let you dine at my office

Angels never come for free
If you know what I know you know what I mean
You can love 'em now, you can love em later

Girlfriends never fall for fun
They can tie you up make you come undone
You can learn to fly, but you can't create her

She led me down though a forest of wooden chairs
As she ate my lunch I looked out for bears
And in a sense you could say she snared my attention

She said I am your perfect finality
And as I got her off she got off her knees
And for my grind I got honorable mention

Everybody needs one
Everybody's bound
Everybody swings upon the merry-go-round

Girlfriends never fall for fun
They can tear you up make you come undone

So now I'm stuck in this pineapple parking lot
I had what I was now I'm what I got
And if I may, may I lend you some kind of direction

If you go you may never come back again
She's my only love
She my only friend
And for that there is no kind of protection

Everybody needs one
Everybody's bound
Everybody swings and meanwhile Mary Goes Around

Angels never come for free
If you know what I know you know what I mean
1st you hate to love and then you love to hate her

Girlfriends never fall alone
Now you know what I know you know what I've known
I'll see you now, and I'll see you later
I'll see you later
I think I can save her
I wish I could date her

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
