Against All Odds

How can i just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When i stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
When all i can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what i've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much i need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all i can do and that's what i've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos i'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance i've gotta take

Take a look at me now

American Pie (chorus)

And they were singing,
"Bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
Singin�, "This�ll be the day that I die.
"This�ll be the day that I die."

Angel's Eyes

Girl, you're looking, fine tonight,
And every guy has got you in his sights.
What you're doing, with a clown like me,
Is surely one of life's little, mysteries

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
To turn your angel eyes my way?

Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance,
Never even got one second glance
Across a crowded room was close enough,
I could look but I could never touch

So tonight I'll ask, the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
To turn your angel eyes my way?

Don't anyone wake me,
If it's just a dream
'Cause she's the best thing,
Ever happened to me

All you fellows, you can look all you like,
But this girl you see, she's leavin' here with me tonight

There's just one more thing that I need to know,
If this is love why does it scare me so?
It must be somethin only you can see,
'Cause girl I feel it when you look at me

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
To turn your angel eyes my way?

A Song For You

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

Come Together Now

One World, One Love, We can make a difference
Every time it's a tragedy, we all break down
Gotta stay strong, can't loose faith now
When I got the news, I was LA bound
We all weathered the storm, everybody safe now
You can make a difference, got to start today
Seen hopes and dreams get washed away
Never stop the faith
And on behalf of myself and Dr. Dre
I pause to say, we love you

Just when it seems that all your hope is gone
And pain is all that you can feel
When there's no place for you to run or hide
Just remember this one thing
There's always someone there for you
Who really feels for you and cares
So this is what we've gotta do (now it's time)

Come together
Now's the time to lend a hand
Come together
Only then we'll understand
Reaching out can make a difference just do all we can
Calling every woman every man
To come together now

Sometimes I pray to the Lord, but I feel like he don't answer
'Til an angel came from the heavens, told me it'll be better
After the storm, it must get calm
So let's all just get together and just sing this song
We can't let another moment passOr another face without a name
If we give to them what's in our hearts
Dreams are not that far away
There's always someone there for you
Who really feels for you and cares
So this is what we've gotta do (now it's time)

Come together
Now's the time to lend a hand
Come together
Only then we'll understand

Reaching out can make a difference just do all we can
Calling every woman

Hallelujah

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Happiness Is A Warm Gun

She's not a girl who misses much
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane.

The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation Trust.

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know no one can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun
Yes it is.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

If You Want Me To Stay

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see
I'm about to go there
Then you'll know
For me to stay here
I've got to be me
You'll never be in doubt
Thats what it's all about
You can't take me for granted and smile
Count the days I'm gone
Forget reachin me by phone
'Cause I promise
I'll be gone for a while
And when you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person
That you really are now
You got to get it straight
How could I ever be late
When youre my woman
Taking up my time
How could I ever allow
I guess I wonder how
I could get out a pocket for fun
When you know that
Youre never number two
Number ones gonna be number one

I'll be good
I wish I could
Get this message over to you now

When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person
That you really are now
I'll be so good
I wish I could
Get this message over to you now

Get this message over to you now
I'll be so good
I wish I could

Jealous Guy

I was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control,

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I mad you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy,

I was feeling insecure,
You night not love me any more,

I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside,

I was trying to catch your eyes,
Thought that you were trying to hide,
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

Let's Get It On

I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back this feelin' for so long
And if you feel like I feel, baby
Then come on, oh, come on
Whoo, let's get it on
Ah, babe, let's get it on
Let's love, baby
Let's get it on, sugar
Let's get it on

We're all sensitive people
With so much to give
Understand me, sugar
Since we got to be
Let's live
I love you

There's nothin' wrong
With me lovin' you
Baby, no, no
And givin' yourself to me can never be wrong
If the love is true

Don't you know
How sweet and wonderful life can be?
Whoo-ooh
I'm askin' you, baby
To get it on with me

I ain't gonna worry, I ain't gonna push
Won't push you, baby
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
Stop beatin' 'round the bush, hey

Let's get it on, ooh, ooh
Let's get it on
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Come on, baby, hey, hey

If you believe in love

My whole body is in love

Stop beatin' 'round the bush, hey

You don't have to worry that it's wrong

Let your love come down

Do you know I mean it?
I've been sanctified
Hey, hey
Girl, you give me good feelings, so good

Nothin' wrong with love
If you want to love me
Just let yourself go
Let's get it on

Midnight Rider

Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding,
And I'm bound to keep on riding.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no,
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

And I've gone by the point of caring,
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing,
And I've got one more silver dollar,

Repeat three times and fade
But I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider.

National Anthem

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Nothing Can Change Love I Have For You

If I go a million miles away
I'd write a letter, each and every day
'Cause honey, nothing,
Nothing can ever change this love I have for you

Make me weep and you can make me cry
See me comin' and you can pass me by
But honey, nothing
nothing can ever change this love I have for you

You're the apple of my eye, you're cherry pie
and oh yeah, you're cake and ice cream
You re sugar and spice and everything nice
You re the girl of my dreams

But if you wanted to leave me and roam
When you get back, I'd just say "Welcome Home"
'cause honey nothing, nothing
can ever change this love I have for you

Papa Was A Rolling Stone

It was the third of September.
That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you, tell me the truth.

And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."

Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
That Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, bad talk going around town
Saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.
Heard some talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
TalkIN about saving souls and all the time leeching.
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.

Mama just hung her head and said,
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."

Hey Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade.
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folk say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bill.
Hey Mama, folk say that Papa was never much on thinking.
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth. Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."
"Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."

"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was alone."

Paradise City

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
(Oh, won't you please take me home)

Just an urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So by me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Rags to riches
Or so they say
You gotta
Keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble
When it's just a game
You treat it like a capitol crime
Everybody' doin' their time

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
(Oh, won't you please take me home)

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgoen general say's it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see
Tell me that you're gonna believe

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
(Oh, won't you please take me home)
So far away

Capitain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
With a broken heart
He said turn me around
And take me back to the start
I must be losing my mind
"Are you blind?!"
I've seen it all a mllion times

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
(Oh, won't you please take me home)

I want to go
I want to know
Won't you please take me home

I want to see
Look at me
Won't you please take me home

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
(Oh, won't you please take me home)

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
(Oh, won't you please take me home)

Please Send Me Some Love

Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace and mind
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Send me someone to love

Show the world how to get along
Peace we'll enter when hate is gone
But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love

And I wake up and ponder the world's trouble
And my answer is always the same
Now let's put an end to this damn all of sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame

Just because I am in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love

Just because I am
Just because I am in misery
And I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love

If it is not asking too much
Please, please send me someone to love

Proud Mary

Left a good job in the city,
Workin for the man evry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin,
Worryin bout the way things might have been.

Big wheel keep on turnin,
Proud mary keep on burnin,
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.

Cleaned a lot of plates in memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in new orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

Big wheel keep on turnin,
Proud mary keep on burnin,
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.

If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You dont have to worry cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.

Big wheel keep on turnin,
Proud mary keep on burnin,
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.

Put A Little Love In Your Heart

Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart

You see it's getting late
Please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

Another day goes by
And still the children cry
Put a little love in you heart
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Wait and see

Take a good look around
And if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart

I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart

Same Old Blues

I'm sorry baby, but I can't afford to stay.
Your good, kind treatment will worry me someday.
I love you baby, but I'm gonna have to say goodbye.
Woman, I got to move, I really got to fly.

Same thing every morning,
Tell me what's it all about.
I get those same old blues every night.

I miss you already, baby, more than words can say.
Seems like I've been gone twenty-four hours, more like a million days.
I love you baby, you know I woudn't tell you no lies.
If you don't believe I love you, look at the tears standing in my eyes.

Same thing every morning,
Tell me what's it all about.
I get those same old blues every night.

Here I am back home, baby, I'm back home to stay.
I love you babe, never more will I go away.
I won't hurt you no more, baby, ain't gonna tell you no more lies.
No more running 'round, no more phony alibis.

Same thing every morning,
Tell me what's it all about.
I get those same old blues every night.

Sexual Healing

Now let's get down tonight
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing

Silver Bells

Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me.

City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style.
In the air there's
A feeling of Christmas.

Children laughing, people passing,
Meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you'll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.

City street lights,
Even stop lights,
Blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures.

Hear the snow crunch,
See the kids bunch,
This is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you'll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.

Tiny Dancer

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

That's Where It's At

Eyes turned away I know
And music soft & slow
With someone you love so
That's where it's at, yeah

Your world turned upside down
You're making not a sound
No one else around
That's where it's at, yeah

Let me tell you
Your heart beatin' fast
You're knowin' that time won't last
But a-hopin' that it lasts
That's where it's at, oh yeah

That's where it's at, pretty baby
That's where it's at, oh yes it is
That's where it's at, pretty baby
That's where it's at

Let me tell you just one thing
To say it's time to go
And she says "Yes I know"
But just stay one minute more
That's where it's at

Let me say it one more time
That's where it's at, pretty baby
That's where it's at, I know that's where it's at
That's where it's at, pretty baby
That's where it's at

Tracks Of My Tears - Cupid

People say I'm the life of the party cause
I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin' loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
As you get closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Since you left me, if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Cause you're the perfect one

So take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
As you get closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you
Need you

Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart
For me
Nobody but me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart
For me

The tracks of my tears

Walkaway Joe

Momma told her baby, girl take it real slow
Girl told her momma hey I really gotta go
He�s waitin� in the car
Momma said girl you won�t get far
Thus are the dreams of an average jane
Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane
On a tank of dreams
Oh if she could�ve only seen
But fate�s got cards that it don�t want to show
And that boy�s just

A walkaway Joe
Born to be a leaver
Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her
He�s a wrong kinda paradise
She�s gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy�s just a walkaway Joe

Now just a little while into abilene
Pulls into a station and he robs it clean
She�s waitin� in the car
Underneath the texaco star
She only wanted love didn�t bargain for this
She can�t help but love him for the way he is
She�s only seventeen
And there ain�t no reasoning
So she�ll ride this ride as far as it can go
Cause that boy�s just

A walkaway Joe
Born to be a leaver
Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her
He�s a wrong kinda paradise
She�s gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy�s just a walkaway Joe

Somewhere in a roadside motel room
Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon
And reaches for his arm
But she�ll just keep reachin� on
For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known
That boy�s just

A walkaway Joe
Born to be a leaver
Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her
He�s a wrong kinda paradise
She�s gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy�s just a walkaway Joe

Walking In Memphis

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

We Are The Champions

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world

White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

Whole Lotta Love

Close Up

This might sound a bit crazy.
But I can't help but say it.
I'll tell you what I saw and you tell me what you think.
This a.m. after breakfast,
I was crusin' past the sidewalk exit,
Up, the store where you work every mornin'.
And this blonde-haired boy with this trumpet toy,
And his new shoes on,
And your hair was long,
You were flippin' it left and right as you worked.
He was sayin' things you were listening,
You were talkin' back,
You thought I didn't see that,
But, baby everybody's always said I had eyes behind my head.

I held you in close up.
I held you in close up.
I didn't wanna get too excited, wasn't invited to the party
So I didn't come in.

Ah girl I held you in close up, and you lied.
I know I'm abrasive, but I'm not control creation.
I just demand what I need and I trash what's left.
We're tired that's alright.
We learn to believe in cold nights,
And many we seen in this outfit.
Cloudy skies with you, rainy eyes with you,
And this other jake, he's such a flake,
And he slimed me with every intention.
What a tragedy, what a sight to see,
Now I'm throwin' dirt, because that really hurt,
And no, nnnnnn, nothin's gonna make me believe we could be what we were.

I held you in close up
And you lied to my face.
Ah baby, you been a bad, bad, girl.

Control

So we begin to fall apart
And I guess that's all right
When there's not much left to lose
But I took it straight to heart
When I asked her for the truth
And she couldn't say the words

I should've known
It's better just to end it
Than to let it go
At least it lessens any stress you can unload
That will drag you under
It's better to have control

So I took a little trip
And I got into a fight
But it's only, I'm sure
And I called her up in Reno
And she's busy every time
I don't call there anymore

I should've known
It's better just to end it
Than to let it go
At least it lessens any stress you can unload
That will drag you under
It's better to have control

What can hold me safe
What can overstrain
So long
That every incidence
Anything we sow is great
I know

I should've known
It's better just to end it
Than to let it go
At least it lessens any stress you can unload
That will drag you under
It's better to have control

I should've known
I should've known
I should've known
It's better to have control

Dancin' Shoes

It's so nice to see you.
Can we sit and talk for a while?
I have searched forever,
I can't imagine anything better.

Kids upon the stairway,
Couples on the sidewalk squares.
If I get to your heart soon,
I'll call a perfect afternoon.

Won't you call my number.
Don't push, but don't hesitate.
Wake me from this slumber.
Rush me, but leave time to wait.

Checkmate on my shoulder.
I'm tired of this win or lose.
Well, I'm no knight in shining armor,
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes.
I'm no pair of dancin' shoes.

My patience ran away.
Take me with you.
You keep me holding on.
Nothin's understood
You're so confusing
Tell it to me straight

Won't you call my number.
Don't push, but don't hesitate.
Wake me from this slumber.
Rush me, but leave time to wait.

Rush me but leave time to wait
I got nothin' left to lose
But I'm no pair of dancin shoes'

Do It Again

Every time you take the risk you get a little bit closer
Still you cannot dismiss your ideals
Rely on your senses but they fail you now
You fold and drop your defenses
And that's a shame
And you do it again

Don't you know that something
Don't you have half a brain
I see you round the clinic
You call that lucky
And you do it again

Remember what your momma said
Seek and you shall find
Quit while you're ahead
The door is open wide
And you do it again

Dreams

Spending all my money on phone cards
Waiting for my ship to come in, in from that ocean
Come home to this sea, harboring in me
I don't believe in four-leaf clovers
And the luck they're supposed to bring
I've used all my wild cards
But there's something I can do
To get close to you

I've got dreams of love and I love you
I know you feel the same way too
I feel your spirit when you're near me and when you're away
Somehow, somewhere I'll see you again
But until then I've got dreams of loving you

Thinking bout every little thing we ever did crazy
Sipping on that memory lane
That lane never closes, seven days of the week
I can drive in my sleep cause

Dreams I will share when I see you again
And I'll see you again pretty soon
I pray but until then I've got dreams

Few Drinks To Fall In Love

You don't understand my jokes
You're burning my eyes with your smoke
If I wasn't alone, I'd ask you to move away
So I order up another round
Sipping my last one down
You're the best deal in town
And I've only got dreams to dream of
Sometimes you need a few drinks to fall in love

If you need a few drinks
you could start with a couple of shots
Give a couple of winks
And later blame it all on the buzz

And this year burned a hole in my hope
I got debts that could choke out a rope
And it's not my approach it's the way I go summing things up
And there's really nothing great about this bar
So here I am and right there you are
We're both shooting way under par
But soon we'll forget what par was
Yeah, sometimes you need a few drinks to fall in love

If you need a few drinks
You might as well start with a couple of shots
Give a couple of winks
And later blame it all on the buzz
Sometimes, you need a few drinks to fall in love

Full of Herself

Look at all the people looking at she,
She's floating round the room like she's living on the tv,
We all end up watching her and then she thinks we're fans,
But she isn't even famous she just acts like we should kiss her ass.

She's so full of herself,
I'd like to thank her for the show,
And she'll thank the Academy,
For recognizing what she already knows,
Who can satisfy,
It's so hard to be society's dream,
You might hate the type,
But she amuses me.

Tell her you can have her and she might owe you a kiss,
She's another case of leading lady-itis,
Really talking to her is like talking to a wall,
'Cause she has so many day jobs that there's nothing really there at all

Standing (standing)
Waiting (waiting)
Laughing (laughing)
Fading (fading)
Lady (lady)

She waited too long,
But I had to run home,
And hang up the phone,
'Cause time is too expensive dear.

Get Lost

I've had days
Of wine and women and wine
Spending all my precious time
I wish I could press rewind
But it's just plain
Feels like fast-forward some days
Maybe it's just a phase
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Oh, pretty hair
Listen what I'm thinking

I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost

You're the type
That won't stop 'til it's done right
Won't let him out of her sight
Don't mind putting up no fight
And that's the way I like it
Don't mind when a man gets excited
Sometimes you're even invited
Keeping me up all night
Oh, baby
Listen what I'm thinking

I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost

I see you're off the coast
Working it out
Diggin' on through
Building a sandcastle
In a big old sandbox
Listen what I'm thinking

I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you
Will you help me along
Floating on an island with you
I wanna get lost

Glass

Fool you made the girl fall in love
You said those beautiful things
She thought you spoke things you mean

Caress her skin like it's glass
She hears your voice making plans
And she just breaks in your hands

You don't wanna see somebody beg
As you feel her heart surrender
You begin to fall
How do you say that something's through
When it never even started
At least not for you

You breathe her air and you leave
You keep your mind on yourself
And lie the glass on the shelf
After the heavenly speech
Your body throws holy heat
The angels sing when our eyes meet

It wasn't a lie but it wasn't true
I just wanted to make you feel good
Just wanted you near
I wasn't prepared I wasn't thinking of you
That you could actually love me
It never should have started

She's dreaming back on the past
Every opinion agreed
Doesn't know what to believe

It must have been for a cause
Our lives have so many doors
Don't think about him anymore

But it was the kiss, it took me away
It's like he knew that I am fragile
She said he handled me like glass
And it hurts but it's what I deserve
Because I should have been more careful
With the others that I handled
She said I should have been more
I should have been more
And knowing this I know
That he'll get his
But I don't want the man to suffer
Not the way I am
'Cause deep down I know that he's glass too
But it really doesn't matter
Until it's happening to you
Everybody breaks
Everybody breaks
Sometimes

Help Me

You got to treat each one like they wanna be treated
Give each one special needs if they need it
Good ones don't lie
Babies don't trick
A few will get ruined
But we're all kinda sick
And its not as if your egos defeated

They say tell me
They say tell me, no
They say hold me
They say touch me, no
I've got my needs
Not that they need you
You say you need
I say help me
Help me yeh

I give my soul to the hand that dealt me
Give my hand to the souls who tell me
Paperback lives
Paperback views
Some go down and some of us loose
And it's not for me to know who's which way

They say tell me
They say tell me no
They say hold me
They say touch me no
I've got my needs
Not that they need you
You say you need
I say help me
Help me yeh

You're the house and I'm the cellar
You're the landlord I'm the dweller
You take your time
I'll take the rest
Sometimes hell is as good as it gets
And we're the best thing we got goin

They say tell me
They say tell me no
They say hold me
They say touch me no
I've got my needs
Not that they need you
You say you need
I say help me

You say tell
You say tell me no
I say hold me
You say touch me no
I got my needs
I've been nearly you
I've seen too many

Lay Me On The Water

Thinking 'bout the water for a sign
Waiting for the moment to arise
I know that no man could ever fly
Just lay me on the water

Colors paint great pictures in my dreams
Shining off the rust that I have seen
But I don't need to show them to the world
Just lay me on the water

If the water is calm
I'll just float
If it's rough and high
I'll pretend that I'm a boat
Lay me on the water

Oh candy seems to roll off of my tongue
I view all good citizens as one
But I don't feel like leading some campaign
Just lay me on the water

If the water is calm
I'll just float
If it's rough and high
I'll pretend that I'm a boat
Lay me on the water

Oh gentle on the wing
Where I want to be
Listen to the breeze blow
Lay me on the water

If the water is calm
I'll just float
If it's rough and high
I'll pretend that I'm a boat
Lay me on the water

Mistake

You told me not to act like a man
But that's what I am
Yeah, you can't tame nature
You begged me not to be such a bo
But I'm not your toy
You can go find someone else

Who cares?
Who cares?
Thinks she has to please you
Who gives a damn?
Whose only end is to appease you?

Remember when I ran through the halls
Just hearing your call?
It was never urgent.
I recommend you find a machine
To come to your screams
When your passion is not crying wolf

Who cares?
Who cares...
Who thinks he has to please you?
Who gives a damn...
Whose only end is to appease you?

Mistake
It's not my fault
Mistake

All this time
All this time
All this time
I was wishing I could finally say goodbye
I got to stop myself right now
Before I give in to you
'Cause you're no good for me
You know it, too
You better leave and go find another

Who cares?
Who cares...
Who thinks she has to please you?
Who gives a damn...
Whose only end is to appease you?

Mistake
It's not my fault
Mistake

Never The Same

I wake up, in the middle of the night, from a dream, that is troubling me
The affair has been a mission of two, and if it doesn't hurt me, it'll have to hurt you.
So I sweat, and I toss and turn, I can't relax, is this a heart-attack?
What is true, that only two things exist, and I have difficulties, getting mad over this.
You know why! You know why!

What you want, what you need, ain't ever the same
All's fair when you're out there playing the game
You gonna hear, there are better places under the sun
Someone told me that gold, is knowing love

So I drive, down a line on the road with a heart that's been torn from the socket
There you were, the bottle you did bring, I only needed a sip, but I drank the whole thing
You know why! Because!

What you want, what you need, ain't ever the same
All's fair when you're out there playing the game
You gonna hear, there are better places under the sun
Someone told me that gold, is knowing love

You can do what you want to and you will see
You will feel, love is real
Time will tell, it always does.

Yesterday

Too near
To a distant radio
Meanwhile
The station's going off
It doesn't get the ratings
Or any steady faces
It's hard to keep it up

Test drive
Does that go through your head
Did you have a better ride
Than the one you're with
It's hard to keep it up
It's hard to keep it up

Though it isn't me
I know what you do
Living in a dream
With someone that you used to see
And here I am again
Saying what I always say
I believe in you and you believe in yesterday

Nostalgia
Leaves you pretty worked
Wishing you'd use the cruise control
So I'd stop getting jerked
When I step on the throttle
You hit me with a bottle
Throwing it

Look it isn't me
I know what you do
Living in a dream
With someone that you used to see
And here I am again
Saying what I always say
I believe in you and you believe in yesterday

Babe
I'm fading out there
Wait
My future is your plan
What are you gonna do child
Keep me under your hope
Lover

Hope it isn't me
I know what you do
Living in a dream
With someone that you used to see
And here I am again
Saying what I always say
I believe in you and you believe in yesterday

I believe in you and you believe in what's his name
I believe in you and you believe in what's his face
I believe in you and you believe in yesterday

What you want, what you need, ain't ever the same
All's fair when you're out there playing the game
You gonna hear that there are better places under the sun
Someone told me that gold, is knowing love

What you want, what you need, baby...
What you want, baby, what you need...

In Love With A Girl

So many people gonna say that they want you,
To try to get you thinking they really care,
But there's nothing like the warmth of the one
who has put in the time and you know is gonna be there,
Back your border when she knows someone crossed it,
Don't let nobody put you down, who your with
Take the pain of protecting your name,
from the crutch to the cane to the highwire

I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
Fell for the woman just when I met her,
Took my sweet time when I was bitter,
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right,
Give me that feeling every night,
Wants to make love when I wanna fight,
Now someone understand me,
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with)

After many broken backdoors and windows,
Through the valley of the love of the lost,
Is a hole that is cut through the souls falling down
from the thrones without any innuendos,
But you drown in a piece for the moment,
The moment was over in time,
Then its gone the hit and run the guiltless one has a short life

I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
Fell for the woman just when I met her,

Took my sweet time when I was bitter,
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right,
Give me that feeling every night,
Wants to make love when I wanna fight,
Now someone understand me,
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with)

Gonna tell you what you do to think you practice what you preach,
Now I know there's nothing we can't reach,
'Cause the heart can't erase once it finds a place to be warm and welcome,
To be held in shelter

I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right
Give me that feeling every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understands me
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with)

Next To Me [Wait A Minute Sister]

Listen up destiny
I know you want to get pressed to me
So don't be such a stone
When I call you on the phone
Or I won't be using that number again

Maybe what you had was broke
You want to get high and they don't
So I had a drink
'Cause it helped me think
Now you say I've been drinking too much

But my hands start shaking
And my heart starts quaking
Like a nightmare naked in school
And I want to tell you

Wait a minute sister
I know I ain't your mister yet
Just give me a chance and see
But you won't even get next to me

What you want to do now
You're gonna have to give somehow
And I've got that thing you need
But you won't even get next to me

Once I get you in my grip
Follow my eyes to your hips
Don't you pull away
You've done it every day
Just stay
Why don't you stay
Why don't you stay baby
Put away your old disguise
You don't want no other guys
We're having so much fun
I know you shouldn't run
But you run, you just run
You just run baby

Wait a minute sister
I know I ain't your mister yet
Just give me a chance and see
But you won't even get next to me

Me here
Heart in hand
Offering
What I can
Patience
Running thin
Come on girl
Let me in

Wait a minute sister
I know I ain't your mister yet
Just give me a chance and see
But you won't even get next to me

Cheated On Me

I'm love-sick somewhere tonight
I'm love-sick somewhere tonight
I don't need writing on the wall
I've felt it for so long
Am I even on your mind
Or are you now in...

Someone else's eyes
Someone else's arms
Someone else's obvious moves
I'm a jealous guy
I hear people talk
And it isn't hard to believe
I think you cheated on me

I've been this love-sick before
I've felt just like this before
There was another just like you
I loved her for so long
But I had poison on my mind
And I drove her into...

Someone else's eyes
Someone else's arms
Someone else's obvious moves
I'm a jealous guy
I hear people talk
And it isn't hard to believe
I think she cheated on me

I said I've had this sense before
But I left an open door
For this to walk into my life
And maybe I suspect too much
But it's just hard for me to trust
When I'm all wound up inside
I just drive you off and into...

Someone else's eyes
Someone else's arms
Someone else's obvious moves

I'm a jealous guy
I hear people talk
And it isn't hard to believe
I was never easy to please
And I think you cheated on me

I Have You To Thank

Whenever I see you I need more
And I want you to stay 'til the end
One look at that smile and I'm all yours
Will you just smile at me again

I have you to thank for making me so
So hard to please because you treated me so
Good that no one else could hold your make-up
Because of you girl I never want to break up

The difference I'm feeling in my heart
Is the difference of loving or not
And under the stars and moon and sun
Is the perfect becoming of one

I have you to thank for making me so
So hard to please because you treated me so
Good that no one else could hold your make-up
Because of you girl I never want to break up

If I told you that I loved like an ace
Then I'd be lying 'cause I've made some mistakes
But I'm trying with perfect faith
When I let you in
I began to win
And now I'm just all gold
After all I've done
And the road I've run
I want to thank you
I want to thank you

I have you to thank for making me so
So hard to please because you treated me so
Good that no one else could hold your make-up
Because of you girl I never want to break up

All I do when I think about it
Is thank you baby
Thank you baby
All I do when I think about it
Is thank you baby
I just want to thank you baby
I just want to
Thank you

Cop Stop

When your feathers are soaked
And your eyes are too bloody to see
And you've pulled every punch that you had
But there's one that you need
Then you've waited too long
There's a hole in your heart
And all you've become
is emotionally over-run

Wishing wells were made to echo a dime
The consequences are you keep on relying
You've become a run and hide refugee
Baby I'm a Cop Stop!
Put up your hands and surrender to me

You're gonne get hooked
If there's anything left I can do
You're already disarmed
It's your lasting alarm I pursue
You can loosen those fists
Come on blow me a kiss
You've been roughed up enough
To deserve some relief from your troubles
So I'm coming in

Wishing wells were made to echo a dime
The consequences are you keep on relying
You've become a run and hide refugee
Baby I'm a Cop Stop!
Put up your hands and surrender to me

Otherwise
I would never tell you what to do despite
Any indecision though I know I'm right
Arguing was always my forte
But one thing I can say is
I won't tell you lies
Or treat you like a rental car like other guys
And if you think I'm crazy find an alibi
But you will need some evidence to show

Wishing wells were made to echo a dime
The consequences are you keep on relying
You've become a run and hide refugee
Baby I'm a Cop Stop!
Put up your hands and surrender to me

Young Love

There's no need to beg babe
That's my open pocket
You take the money from me
I can scrounge
Gave me a fever that will not come down
Oh babe!
You're a young woman cast aside
Ostracized
Left on the sidewalk of my lonely life

For the young lovers
Taking the hill
One plants a flag
While the other is killed
When the wine pours
We raise our cups
Young love is sacrifice
Young love is tough
Young love is innocent
Young love is us

What did I get into
Now everything is untrue
Oh, your eyes tell the lies
Of the lines that you said
And now that I love you
Oh, I wish we'd never met
Why wait?
Woman I'm taking risks here
That no one dared
And you're scared
Scared of the bottom
Afraid of the stairs

Someone
I saw someone
And fell in love with a face
And it scares me to let her go
Still want her even though
I get less than she takes

Medicate The Kids

Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs,"
"Substances make you dumb,"
Then you say, "Give 'em some,"
Are you the victim
Of this experience
Child experiment
Teacher's predicament?
You're in the system

And if you don't walk the line
You can walk the plank
Your older brother (government)
Wants to control your mind
You're more useful blank

Medicate the kids
Feathers turn to quills
Pump 'em full of training fluids
Powders and pills
There's nothing you can't flush out
And nothing you can't kill

Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy?
I'm gonna tell you,
"No way,
This ain't fair play,
Just don't medicate me."

Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"
"Substances make you dumb"
Unless you get 'em from
Someone who loves you
One who knows best for you
Paid for those tests for you
Knows how to get you through
When it's above you
And you can't get on top
Cause it's high to climb,
You hear them saying,
"Don't make me call the cops"
Every other time

Medicate the kids
Feathers turn to quills
Pump 'em full of training fluids
Powders and pills
There's nothing you can't flush out
And nothing you can't kill

Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy?
I'm gonna tell you,
"No way,
This ain't fair play,
Just don't medicate me."

And there's a long line
Flowing from prescription aisles
Filed through legal means
So we can alter the child
For his protection
Tie him to extension cords,
This is the age of discipline

Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy?
I'm gonna tell you,
"No way,
This ain't fair play,
Just don't medicate me."

Relative

A flashlight
Isn't quite sunlight
But any light at all seems bright
When you're looking in the dark

A wet-dream
Isn't the real thing
It isn't really anything
But at least it makes a spark

And all is relative
Eveything is relative
Yes, it is

It's all about
The way we receive it
How much we believe it
Depending on the life you lead
If you lead it
Compare it to yourself
Compared to someone else
You care

And if you took
The threads in your closet
The cash in your wallet
The color of the skin in your blood
And how you got it
Compare it to yourself
Compared to someone else
You care

Pre-made
Isn't quite homemade
But pre-made with a home name
Is almost just the same
Your girlfriend
Isn't your best friend
But any friend is best when
You're freezing in the rain
And all is relative
Everything is relative

You're either underweight or you're unfit
Overdressed or underzipped
Too social or you're just too shy
Too depressed or you're too high
As night to day and day to night
Rich and poor and black and white
All is relative
Everything's relative
All is relative...

It's all about
The way we receive it
How much we believe it
Depending on the life you lead
If you lead it
Compare it to yourself
Compared to someone else
You care

She Holds A Key

This ain't the kind of affair to make you dance about
But there's something to say for the things
You wouldn't regularly let out
At least this chase makes you feel new

She holds a key
Tight in her hand
Clutching his neck
She is breaking the man
Listen you sinner
I'm sinning too
Just wait until the darkness falls
So I can sin with you

You've run through the whole gamut of gameplay
The head-trip parade
Without any experience
You've become curious prey
So change your position
This decision you're making
Is digging a hole
Oh, and where you're headed
Only heaven knows

She holds a key
Tight in her hand
Clutching his neck
She is breaking the man
Listen you sinner
I'm sinning too
Just wait until the darkness falls
So I can sin with you

So set out your plans
Break down your walls
Count what you're blessed with
You've counted them all
There's something to save
But you have to search
You might not believe
But, believe me, it works,
Believe me it works, yes it does

She holds a key
Tight in her hand
Clutching his neck
She is breaking the man
Listen you sinner
I'm sinning too
Just wait until the darkness falls
So I can sin with you

Untamed

The letters you wrote me had hollow-point headers
If you think you've got it like that
Find somebody better
You said I need fixing
You numbered the stages
But I won't be living in one of your cages
Open your mind and understand...

When you're hard on me
It's not what I need
We were meant to be untamed
Up on my feet

Born to run free
And there's nobody taming me

I've outgrown the narrow, protective container
Designed to be opened
With your childish behavior
'Cause you're not the critic of personal purpose
And I'm just not willing to do community service
I don't know why you lay it on...

When you're hard on me
It's not what I need
We were meant to be untamed
Up on my feet

You say - that I should lend a shoulder
Right now - 'cause your whole world is blowing up
Go ahead but I won't be your soldier
'Cause you're the one who started up
You're the one who started up...

When you're hard on me
It's not what I need
We were meant to be untamed
Up on my feet

Let It Go

I can't live without you
Set my goals around you
Takes a little extra time
But it all works out

You're a shining ember
I'll be shining armor
Just look up into my eyes
I won't let you down

And I'll always be here
Yes, I'll always be here

Let it go
Settle into me
Let it go
Let it all go

Except for me
I'm the one you found
Just hold on
Hold onto me now

Why don't we play hooky?
We could both get lucky
Better to get lucky than to go to work today

We don't have to shower
You won't wait in traffic
Take our daily panic and we'll put it all away

And we'll always be near
We should always be near

Let it go
Settle into me
Let it go
Let it all go

Don't you know you're the one for me
After all, anyone can see

We Belong Together

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for

The hammer may strike, be dead on the ground.
A net to my hand, a cross on his crown.
We're done if, who we're undone,
Finished if who we are incomplete.
As one we are everything,
We are everything we need.

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for

What good is a life, with no one to share,
The light of the moon, the honor of a swear.
We can try to live the way in which you speak,
Taste the milk of your mother earth's love,
Spread the word of consciencness you see,
We are everything we need

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for

All this indecision
All this independent strength
Still
We've got our hearts on safe
We've got our hearts on safe

Someday when you're lonley,
Sometime after all this bliss,
Somewhere lost in emptiness,
I hope you find this gift...

Follow Through

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet

So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Look what I'm holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart

So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart

So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?

Chariot

Staring at a maple leaf
Leaning on the mother tree
I said to myself we all lost touch
Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries
And seedless watermelon
Nothing from the ground is good enough
Body rise
Look what's over me

Oh, chariot
Your golden waves
Are walking down
Upon this face
Oh, chariot
I'm singing out loud
To guide me
Give me your strength

Remember seeing moon's rebirth
Rains made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
There is a living promise land
Even over fields of sand
Seasons fill my mind
And cover me
Bringing it back
More than a memory

Oh, chariot
Your golden waves
Are walking down
Upon this face
Oh, chariot
I'm singing out loud
To guide me
Give me your strength

You'll be my vacation away from this place
You know what I want
Holding that cup that's pouring over the sides
You make me want to spread my arms and fly

Oh, chariot
Your golden waves
Are walking down
Upon this face
Oh, chariot
I'm singing out loud
To guide me
Give me your strength

Just Friends

I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart

But you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

I've had other options too
But all I want is you
Girl, your body fits me like a glove
And you shower me with words of love

While you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

It's not my style to lay it in on the line
But you don't leave me with a choice this time
Why weren't you true?
You know I trusted you

When you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you

[Nice to Meet You] Anyway

I don't want to get too close
I don't want to get too close
You see this isn't where my head is
If you knew me I'm not like this
But I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

I believe you're very fine
Still I haven't got the time
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love

I don't mean to be so strange
But my life just took a change
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love

So before this goes too far
Let me tell you what you are
You're amazing, I'm attracted
But I'm terribly distracted
And I'm trying to be verbal
And I'm back into this circle
Because I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway

And even if you want me to stay here
I'm telling you right now
I should leave
Before I get to changing my mind, dear
I hope you understand what I mean

Chemical Party

Here at the party
Everyone's happy
Everyone's high
Get struck by lightning
Who here would feel it?
Who here could heal it?
Who here would try?

Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just too high to see the point
You think your name is pass the joint

I think I like you
But you like this whole room
You sexy machine
I'm jing-a-linging from here to the ceiling
Inside I'm reeling
So fresh and so clean

Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just to high to get the point
You think your name is pass the joint

You're still too amazing to ignore
But I'm incapable of rescuing you
You find it too damn easy to get bored
That's why you're always trying something new
And then when you can't hold up
They're all over you
Flies on cake, flies on cake

Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just to high to see the point
You think your name is pass the joint

Belief

Belief
Makes things real
Makes things feel
Feel alright
Belief
Makes things true
Things like you
You and I

Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife
In the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
You stood by me
Belief

Builds from scratch
Doesn't have to relax
It doesn't need space
Long live the queen and I'll be the king
In the collar of grace

Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife in the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
You stood by me
Belief

I'm gonna yell it from the rooftops
I'll wear a sign on my chest
That's the least I can do
It's the least I can do

Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife
In the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
You stood by me
Belief

Crush

Well my past came in, you dropped the ball
It didn't change the way I feel
And I was wishing I'd break down your walls
The kiss will know if lips stay still

There is a line I crossed
There when you missed I lost
I'm not a loser
Girl, you know that I'll be back again

My Dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh my crush, I've got a crush

I suppose that I could hold it in
But you excite my every cell
Sources say that senses are your friends
My senses say that I should tell
You that I'm not ashamed
You might just feel the same

But you have to try it
If you're ever really going to know
My Dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh my crush, I've got a crush

I want to
I need to
I have to have you
You're so much to touch
Girl, you're too much
And I can't control it - you've got me all over the road

My Dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh my crush
Damaging my soul
You blew me up, but I don't mind
I just get better with time

I Don't Want to Be

I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by an identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think about me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation - made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I'm trying to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be

Meaning

Hail to the light that my baby's watches me
In the darkness of the window
I can hardly get to sleep
Wish for the hour that

The nighttime soon shall pass
And the morning dew will bring us
To a day our souls can last

Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love

Situation candlelight
Enough to see the bits around you
But it's never very bright
Stare at a memory
You, through the grapevine, heard the truth
It's good to learn from your mistakes
But that only works in youth

Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love

Restless minds; curtain calls follow fanfares
Troubled hearts; just a walk down the hall
Restless hearts; you take a punch just to land one
Troubled minds; it's only fair after all
Mountain, the trail, but you've got it in sight
Sometimes the only way is jumping
I hope you're not afraid of heights
Reach in my pocket for a bill that isn't there
And to face all of the undoings
Still isn't more than I can bare

Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
Giving love
It's always been good to me

More Than Anyone

You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
before I see you again
What can I say to convince you to change your mind?

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me all you need and I will try
I will try

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Free for you, whenever you need
We'll be free together baby
Free together baby

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Over-Rated

Take my home
Take everything I own
Take it, take control
You will feel better
You will feel whole
You're so good
You stopped me where I stood
And let me look at love and I feel better
I feel good

I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you

You speak kind
Oh if you were mine
What would we be like?
We would be liked
We would be...

I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be overrated
Baby it's for you it's all for you
Everything else would be over-rated

Open up
Let me fill your cup
I can really pour it out
It will be like...
I will be enough

Change Is Gonna Come (only on "Chariot Stripped")

I was born by the river
In a little tent, and o
just like that river
I've been running ever since

It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living
but I'm afraid to die
'cause I don't know what's up there
beyond the sky,

It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin me
don't hang around

It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
and I say brother help me please
But he wind up (knocking) me
back down on my knees

There have been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long time, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
