Sometimes I think things are overwhelming sometimes I think I don't know what I'll do but I forget the world and everything around me that's what I think when I think about you The streets are filled with too many babies black air in a sky of blue people pass by no life in their eyes the concrete jungle's really going crazy Sometimes I think things are overwhelming... The rent is due and the pockets are empty people ask machines for the truth no crystal ball can help see it all but where we gonna find the dreams to feed the babies Baby life goes on that's what people say but I'm nowhere if you go away I'd just be looking for a brighter day Sometimes I think things are overwhelming... what can I do forget about the world and everything around me that's what I think when I think about you |

She's just a producy of mysery... Everyday she'd go around Everytime i see that frown Broken down and down an out The drudgery goes on and on Oh i just wan't to say I ain't gonna live that way, `cause She's just a product of mysery I don't want to live like that, just a product of mysery I don't want to live like that, Like he mother and hers before She left her heart out out by the door Everybody passed it by They never bothered asking why She stayed locked up inside Watching as the world turns by Now she's just a product of mysery I don't want to live like that... Just a product of mysery I don't want to live like that, I don't want to live like that! Hey, like that I don't want to live like that, Just a product of mysery ...Anie said she must confess She never came and never left Never could communicate and Now the time is much too late Passions laid to rest Buried with her wedding dress Now she's just a product of mysery I don't want to live like that, I don't want to live like that, Just a product of mysery |

Things like this Can always take a little time I always thought We'd be together down the line We start to fight And can't get over what was said `Cause you see black an white And i see red And i wonder who let in the rain You know without you I'm not the same When love get strong People get weak Sometimes they lose control And wind up in too deep They fall like rain Who let in the rain I make the bed and cover Where you used to sleep I'm smoothing over promises Made in these sheets I enve lovers passing by Out on the street `Cause what they heve I couldn't keep And i wonder who let in the rain You know without you I'm not the same When love get strong People get weak Sometimes they lose control And wind up in too deep They fall like rain Who let in the rain |

The street light Through my window Makes me feel secure There's no one to distract me I'm locking the door You cannot barge into My own little world You can't take the joy From the soul of this girl Telling me your lies, lies, lies Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies My thaughts are all tangled I don't know what i feel You try to confuse me `till i don't know what's real You say whats good (for me) You don't even know me You don't even want the truth That you need to feel the power That was taken from you Telling me your lies, lies, lies Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies All that's left is this knocking Of a heart you left on the shelf You twisted your love `Cause you don't love yourself Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies Don't tell me your lies, lies, lies Don't tell me your lies... |

Ever since i could understand My mother said to me "Don't you ever let a man hit you, don't you grow up like me" So i swore i'd never be like her Or my grandmother too Even if it meant i'd be alone Even if it meant i'd be alone `Cause she looked `Cause she looked like broken glass When she fell to the ground I heard the sound of thinder trailing off When she started coming 'round But she couldn't make him stop And she wouldn't let it go So every time she got back up Like broken glass went tumblin' down Tumblin' down First time that i saw your face You looked so lost and kind Should have recognised that troubled look From the road i left behind But i thought i could comfort you Or was it you could comfort me Never saw your anger 'till you blew Never saw your anger 'till you blew And i'd feel Oh i'd feel like broken glass When i fell to the ground I heard the sound of thinder trailing off When i started coming 'round But i couldn't make you stop And you wouldn't let it go So every time i got back up Like broken glass went tumblin' down The slightest thing could spark you There was always hell to pay I could feel your darkness in me And i knew just what to say And the rest i can't remember But it sounded like a gun But it could have been a firecracker it could have been a firecracker Made me run And you looked Oh you looked like broken glass When you fell to the ground I heard the sound of thinder trailing off When you started coming 'round But I couldn't make you stop And you wouldn't let it go So every time you got back up Like broken glass Just like broken glass... ...tumblin' down, tumblin' down |

When I was eight I had a friend With a pirate smile Make believe and play pretend We were innocent and wild Hopped a fence and slammed the gate Running down my alleyway In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly We loved to watch them dive and soar Circle in the sky Free as a bird from three to four And never knowing why Neighbors pulled their wash back in Put away my Barbie and Ken Look out overhead While Sally's pigeons fly I had a fool's confidence That the world had no boundaries But instincts and common sense Come in different quantities My heart began to Skip to the beat Of the boy next door She had her eye across the street On someone shy and tall We lived our dreams And challenged fate In tears she told me she was late And Sally let his pigeons out to fly... On the dresser sits a frame With a photograph Two little girls in ponytails Some twenty one years back She left one night with just a nod Was lost from some back alley job I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly She never saw those birds again And me, I can't remember when A pirate smile hasn't made me cry I close my eyes And Sally's pigeons fly |

Dear John, What's Wrong? Why can't you just be anything you want? Why not? Why not? I tried to tell you then. You dodn't understand. They try and pigeonhole you. Buddy, they don't even know you. But hang on my dear, dear, John. Maybe you re not just like everyone, so what, so what. And there's more to live for, than some abbreviated encore, much more, much more. You can't define yourself In terms of someone else. You can't say what you're thinking? But i don't know what you've been dirnking. But don't cry. 'Cause life goes on. Dear John, You could be anything you want. Why not? Why not? Why you could even be an astronaut, dear John, dear John. |

I Know you expected me To act jus like a school girl followed your rules Just like a fool Wrapped up in your world What's good for you Don't mean that's so good for me What can i do, but hang around And lose myself just like i used to Go round and round Just like a loose screw Well i ain't gonna walk With my heart in my hand And take things lying down like before Won't take your crap the way i used to Ain't gonna be the way it used to Alright for you, ain't alright for me Maybe i was weak though the average Person probably thinks i'm stronger When i need someone else I shut out myself Scared to say the wrong words What's right for you Don't think that's alright fo me You spread the glue, so i can't move And stick to you just like i used to Go round and round just like a loose screw... Oh i ain't gonna walk With my heart in my hand... ...ain't gonna do it like i used to Go round and round just like a loose screw Alright for you ain't alright for me, no Everytime you push me down Everytime you screw me around Everytime you do that to me I'm my own possession I'm my own possession... |

Midnight falls on the snow-lit trees And as i stand inside i know that i Can't watch lifee through a window My indecision is blocking the door It's like a religion That i never ask for more I might stumble and fall What's someone like me Doing in a life like this? I can't see What someone like me Is doing in a life like this Slipping back into the past Sun comes up and streams Through the blinds And as i throw my clothes on Do my hair wrong Stare into my mirror Telling myself that everyone falls Take the first step That's the trick of it all Bounce back like a ball What's someone like me... My mind is filled with runaway dreams I can't wake up I don't know what it means You see i fell asleep With the television on When i woke up it was gone I read the horoscope To see what's in store I get a little lazy but I want more, i want more What's someone like me Doing in a life like this? I can't see What someone like me Is doing in a life like this |

Somber sister This is a strange and bitter fruit Because you taught me to sing And the rhythm in my heart And the rhythm in my feet is - Why are the rainbows Stolen from the sky And locked up in boxed Yellow, black, red and white Like birds in their cages Beating their wings on the bars And there's a son tha they're singing It's a word in their world It's a word in their hearts A part hate I heard a man say Tear apart hate And i saw hope in his face A part hate Where the color of love Slips away Why are the children Carrying guns, not books drug dealing, not learning The golden rule And the idea of freedom Not just some castle In the sky Haunted by white-sheeted ghouls Filled with hate me And hate you And proud of it too A part hate I heard a woman saying Tear apart hate And i saw hope in her face A part hate Where the color of love Slips away Why are the people Running down the block Rock throwing, not knowing What else to do But i'm just a spectator And i can never know the pain But when i hear That whip cracking I cry out tears of anger I cry out tears of shame A part hate I heard myself say Tear apart hate And i saw hope in my face A part hate Where the color of love Slips away... tear apart hate tear apart hate tear apart hate tear apart hate tear apart hate tear apart hate... |

I was folding up your letters Unpacking winter clothes Searching for my hat I thought i left it by the door So i tore around the room Like a bird without a head I saw your picture waving back at me From underneath the bed From a long, long time ago When all i had Was a hat full of stars The one i'll always treasure The one that you wore You loved the look But you never lokked inside You would have seen me there You could've seen far You should've seen the magic In my hat full of stars I'm trying to live in the present But i keep tripping on the past Finding out reality, well clarity Comes in dribs and drabs No we never had the time For everything we had So it felt like we had nothing That's what makes this hat so sad It was a long, long time ago When all i had Was a hat full of stars... ...You would have seen me there You could've seen far You should've seen the magic In my hat full of stars Now whenever i'm alone And i think i might forget I wear my lucky hat Just like a crown apon my head - 'Cause all i have Is a hat full of stars... If you could see me now You would've seen far You should've seen the magic In my hat full of stars... |
