Standing on the edge of time playing out a reckless pantomine and every day's another wrong to rectify I dream about a strangers touch and voices in my head, I cannot hush and every night's a hunger I can't satisfy
CHORUS: It's the secret that I keep it's the ache that makes me weep And I know I'm in too deep-- I'm gonna drown it's the emptiness I fear baby, please don't leave me here cause I'm lost inside a dream that's out of bounds
I close my eyse and it's so real and all at once, I know just what I feel and baby, it's the kind of rush that terrifies but I am weak I am wrong and every day I swear that I'll be strong but there's a bond between us that I can't deny
CHORUS
I wanna surrender I wanna give in I wanna lay down and let it be now let it begin let it begin.
It's the secret that I keep it's the ache that makes me weep and I know I'm in too deep-- I'm gonna drown it's the emptiness I fear baby, please don't be leaving me here cause I'm lost inside a dream that's out of bounds out of bounds out of bounds...
I had a friend, he lives down in old Alberquerque we used to watch the sun, coming up together but he was hungry then and he got restless, I I heard he took a wife-- I think her name is Heather
CHORUS: Oh, all've sudden I'm driving in the rain with the Santa Fe horizon calling out my name should have done it sooner but now I know it's time cause we said alot things, baby but we never said goodbye.
We were a team we were the best of friends we had a world where no one else could find us the summer passed September came too soon and suddenly, that world was all behind us
CHORUS 2: Driving through the desert with nothing on my mind than the thought of catching up with a ghost I left behind don't know what I'll do, but I know I've got to try cause we said alot of things, baby-- but we never said goodbye.
I drove 1000 miles chasing a memory but all the pieces of what used to be have scattered and all the little things that used to mean so much I look around me now, and see that they don't matter
CHORUS 3: Oh, all've sudden I'm driving home again cause sometimes goodbye is better left unsaid the Santa Fe horizon will know the reason why I said alot of things to you... but I never said goodbye.
Drop those flowers - back away slowly You jumped in thinking this was holy water Well surprise surprise This is not a test Welcome to the party I've been on my best behaviour but I think it's time You saw the other side CHORUS
I'm a tough tough game that no one can master I'm a tall tall tale no one believes I'm a long dark night with no morning after Lucky you You get the best of me
Brand new day - honeymoon's over Peace and quiet puts me in a coma anyway It's just a waste of time This is not a dream Do you get the picture I know I may seem peculiar Baby gimme time 'Cause when I hit my stride CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUS
I'm a tough tough game that no one can master I'm a tall tall tale no one believes I'm a long dark night with no morning after I'm a thundercloud when you're out at sea And if you try to run Baby I can run faster Lucky you You get the best of me
We've done our cold time, you and I Fought off the raging of this norther sky And heaven knows I wanna compare the ocean to your eyes Baby, let's fly
Doin' hard time, day to day Huddled beneath this winter sun all frozen grey You lose your freedom while you watch the season slip away But not today
Livin' in the darkness, baby Comin' all undone Been a cruel December, now we're prayin' for the sun By the time the storm rolls in, we could be long gone Baby, let's get lost 'til the days get long Just you and I
Frost on the outside brings a chill within Seems like we hide our hearts away when the days get dim Let's shake it off, let's shake it up We're not the kind who just give in So let's begin
Livin' in the darkness, baby Comin' all undone Been a cruel December, now we're prayin' for the sun By the time the storm rolls in, we could be long gone Baby, let's get lost 'til the days get long Just you and I
Voices in your head say stay I can hear them too But those doubts'll fade away In our room with a view
There's a sweet breeze blowin' somewhere, baby All you gotta do Is tell me that it's time to go And I'll be there with you
Livin' in the darkness, baby Comin' all undone Been a cruel December, now we're prayin' for the sun By the time the storm rolls in, we could be long gone Baby, let's get lost 'til the days get long Just you and I
Livin' in the darkness, baby Comin' all undone Been a cruel December, now we're prayin' for the sun By the time the storm rolls in, we could be long gone Baby, let's get lost 'til the days get long Just you and I
What do you see when you see me? You see my long blonde hair and the particular way that my lips are shaped That my body takes, When you talk to me What do you know when you know me? Don't file me under catagories, Your deceived You don't know me I'm not only a surface, a country What you don't know about me is
CHORUS
I'm a double agent on my momma's side The shit I hear you say just blows my mind Every time, recognize Though who I am to you is not a lie I don't have to volunteer and say That I was born a particular way I got not uniform, I'm camouflaged in any light Obviously you can't tell I'm a double agent on my momma's side
What do you hear when you hear me? I hear you crank up Jay-Z ,it's your favorite jam And you talk with your hands like an MC Betcha never get stopped by the police You never ask me about me (no,no,no) About how I feel when you call all your white friends "Homeboy","nigga" and "homie" Oh please It hurts me And you don't see What you don't know about me is (I told you everybody's got a story.)
CHORUS
I am invisible (I am) Am I responsible? (I am) I'm in between it all Who is the enemy? I am part of no plan My honesty is contraband My blood is thicker than any man's
What do you like when you like me? I am ingredients far beyond flour and molecules Calluses, family jewels I'm no fool We went to the same school Some of your best friends are just like me But when they're not around, you make jokes and conspire The fire gets higher and I feel the heat Rising underneath Who is more deceived? What you don't know about me is
Let me tell you about Colleen My best friend since I was three She always had a taste for dangerous things Her scandalous tongue was extreme I was always the one left holding the bag Smiling and covering her tracks Best friends, they always do that
She was the first to smoke a cigarette She once let me watch her make love It was the kind of balance made by kings She took it all, but left me some I guess I always thought she'd have my back But it didn't work out like that The moment I laid eyes on Jack
CHORUS
It was my time, it was my space It was the bright red he brought to my face Every underdog has their day Sorry it hurts But Colleen I saw him first
It all happened on a Thursday He backed his car right into mine (crash, boom, bang!) "There are no accidents", my mother told me once My heart agreed with her this time Colleen jumped out of the car, screaming "What have you done?!" Jack offered apologies I just got weak in the knees
CHORUS
The minute that your in it You know there's no turning back Like me and my Jack A funny thing To feel the weight of the pendulum swing When it starts to swing
Colleen armed with charm and body Still couldn't take away my man Last I heard, She was in rehab I guess that scale got outta hand Covered from head to toe in colored tatoos Searching for higher views Hungry for I love you's
If I had a crystal ball, I would throw it against the wall 'Cause some things you just don't wanna know So don't try to read my palm or predict what we'll become 'Cause the real thing just needs space to grow I do believe in us, but But you can't fast forward through The kinda deep only time can prove What's the rush, baby, trust what faith can do
CHORUS
Let's not play the game of love with scared money Let's not say what we'll become Let's just roll the dice and throw away the cards You don't have to push so hard 'Cause the gypsy in me needs to roam your heart
You know I would live my life Out of a suitcase every night Before I'd let you tie me down So just lean back and relax Feel your bare feet in the grass And let love run on open ground I do believe in you, but You can't tell a bird not to fly You can't tell the sun when to shine What's the rush, baby, we can take our time
CHORUS
The finest tapestry takes patience and the ability to wait For each thread to support the bigger picture and the larger purpose And in the fearless, reackless pursuit of intimate love It is not the destination it's the journey
Genius is in the mistakes The rules do not apply Maybe the wrong time and place Listen to the voice inside
Hey -- just 'cause he ain't tall So I met him at the mall Doesn't mean that I should write him off It's just a circumstance So what if he can't dance? His heart is kind and those big hands are soft He speaks a language that can change what I believe
Genius is in the mistakes The rules do not apply Maybe the wrong time and place To the naked eye To the conscious mind Shouldn't be denied Listen to the voice inside
So -- My friends don't think he's cool He like Coltrane, I like Tool He wears leather patches on his tweed Yeah -- But i know that he's deep The company I keep May not be the company I need To pay attention This is Serendipity
CHORUS
Genuis -- He's a genuis Every big decision is a trial by fire Wisdom aquired Ooh baby, my heart aspires to genius
You walk up to me and say 'Feel like I know ya, baby' And then take a sip of your cherry coke Now, now who drinks a cherry coke Maybe your nervous I see that bead of sweat dancing on your cheek Your words are like cheap champagne (cheap champagne) I get the point but its much too sweet
I'm so tired of the dance This carousel of superficial conversation gets me nowhere
So you can see my bra, underneath my shirt Watch the wind, underneath my skirt But that ain't the picture it's just a part Everybody's got a story that could break your heart
See my eyes, don't see what I see Touch my tongue, don't know what tastes good to me Its the human condition that keeps us apart Everybody's got a story that could break your heart Yeah everybody's got a story that could break your heart
Lalalalalalalananana
Now who can read the mind of the redheaded girl next door Or the taxi driver who just dropped you off Or the, or the classmate that you ignore Don't assume everything on the surface is what you see Cause that classmate just lost her mother And that taxi driver's got a PHD
I'm so tired of the fear That weighs us down with wrong assumptions A broken heart's a natural function
So you can see my bra, underneath my shirt Watch the wind, underneath my skirt But that ain't the picture it's just a part Everybody's got a story that could break your heart
See my eyes, don't see what I see Touch my tongue, don't know what tastes good to me Its the human condition that keeps us apart Everybody's got a story that could break your heart
See my bra, underneath my shirt Watch the wind, underneath my skirt But that ain't the picture it's just a part Everybody's got a story that could break your heart
lalalalalalala dadadada
So dig deep (dig deep) Deeper than the image that you see (dig deep) Lift the film and let your true self breath(dig deep) Show the world the beauty underneath
See my bra, underneath my shirt Watch the wind, underneath my skirt But that ain't the picture it's just a part Everybody's got a story that could break your heart
See my eyes, don't see what I see Touch my tongue, don't know what tastes good to me Its the human condition that keeps us apart Everybody's got a story that could break your heart
See my bra, underneath my shirt Watch the wind, underneath my skirt But that ain't the picture it's just a part Everybody's got a story that could break your heart
See my eyes, don't see what I see Touch my tongue, don't know what tastes good to me Its the human condition that keeps us apart Everybody's got a story that could break your heart
(That could break your heart baby) (Everybody's got a story)
Indian summer, Abeline You were new in town, I was nineteen And the sparks flew They called us crazy behind our backs Romantic fools, we just let them laugh Because we knew
It may be a long shot We may get lonely down the line Love knows no reason And I won't let 'em make up my mind
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let this dark horse run
Stars are brighter in a desert sky No need to wonder or justify Where this will lead I wear your locket, our picture's inside Inscription says "the joy's in the ride" And I believe
That something so sacred Is something worth this kind of fight 'Cause love knows no patience, no, no You can't please everyone all the time
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let this dark horse run
So rare So sweet Together baby, I know We can disappear Be free
Ooh, my money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let it run, baby
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let this dark horse run
Indian summer, Abeline You were new in town, I was nineteen Yeah, baby In the summertime Hey, yeah Ooh
Verse 1 Its time to let ya go it's time to say good-bye there's no more excuses no more tears to cry there's been so many changes i was so confused all along you were the one all the time i never knew
i want ya to be happy you're my best friend but its so hard to let ya go now what could have been I'll always have the memories she'll always have you fate has a way of changing just when you don't want it to
Chorus throw away the chains let love fly away till love comes again I'll be okay
Verse 2 life passes so quickly ya gotta take the time you'll miss what really matters you'll miss all the signs I've spent my life searchin for what was always there sometimes it will be too late sometimes it wont be fair
Chorus Throw away the chains Let love fly away Till love comes again I'll be okay
Bridge I wont give up I wont give in I can't recreate What just might have been I know that my heart Will find love again Now is the time to begin
Throw away the chains Let love fly away Till love comes again I'll be okay I'll be okay I'll be okay
Can't hold on forever baby, Can't hold on forever baby, Can't hold on forever baby, I'll be okay
Police cars round in circles The silence gathering You never know what's next down here Close your eyes and shut your mouth And I know I won't last forever If there's nothing left in your heart for me Baby, baby, baby, baby Too young to die and too old To believe in Promises
The ambulance is singing To streetcars in the rain Like barracuda waiting For the guns down in the hood But this ain't no West Side Story And the curtain's comin' down on me Baby, baby, baby, baby Too young to die and too old To believe in Promises It's all sound and all fury It's all reach and no touch It's all life's cold bravado All grown up and old so fast
And I know I won't last forever If there's nothing left in your heart for me Baby, baby, baby, baby Too young to die and too old I'm too young to die and too old To believe in Promises
Where are you livin'? What planet do you come from? Is there t.v., e-mail, or a telephone line? do you have friends? Or family to warn you when there's trouble 'Cause up to now your deaf, dumb, and blind This is my line in the sand This is my last open hand
CHORUS
Can't you read? 'Cause it's written all over my face That I love you It's in red magic marker Can't you see? It's the kind of ink that you can't erase Says "I love you" It's in red magic marker I try to wash it off But it won't go away
Uhhhhhh
Are you gay? that's cool, just tell me It's okay, I'll feel stupid but then we can hang out But if your Straight The what the f***'s the matter? 'Cause my deepest intuition tells me there is no doubt This is my line in the sand This is my last open hand
CHORUS
Sit up and pay attention ( I just need to know) You're in your own dimension (Somewhere I can't go) I can't help the way i feel This is my last appeal
I look at this mountain So many heartaches wide And I can't help but wonder Where's the other side I've got to be honest I've got my doubts These tears are asking me What's this got to do with love? Baby, I'll tell you something To help us through this long, dark night When this trouble passes over You and I will walk away Knowing that our love survived Another test of faith You and I can walk on water The river rises, we rise above It may not look that way right now But trust me, baby...this is love. Love isn't easy I'm torn, I confess When a heart is uncertain It's bound to second guess This love won't forsake us So dry your tears I promise you When this trouble passes over You and I will walk away Knowing that our love survived Another test of faith You and I can walk on water The river rises, we rise above It may not look that way right now But trust me, baby...this is love. I'm here for you baby There's nothing I want more Our day is coming And we'll reach that peaceful shore When this trouble passes over You and I will walk away Knowing that our love survived Another test of faith Cause you and I can walk on water The river rises, we rise above It may not look that way right now But trust me, baby....this is love One more mountain Hey...so what Trust me baby...this is love.
The walls are thin here in this motel room Some fool is raging overhead He's preaching the gospel according to Johnnie Walker Red Four hundred miles talking to myself Me and your memory end up here I tell myself I'm gonna be alright But it's still not clear Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Is this the only love I'll know Like a Judas kiss Did my heart betray me Back on the road I never chose There are some sins that you can justify But not the one I'm guilty of I had a choice one last chance ago But I turned my back on love Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Is this the only love I'll know Like a Judas kiss Did my heart betray me Back on the road I never chose
I can hear the man upstairs, he's crying out Fall on you knees, the end is near We both may need a saviour, tonight I fear that mine Is the one that I left waiting far from here Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Is this the only love I'll know Like a Judas kiss Did my heart betray me Back on the road I never chose Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Is this the only love I'll know Like a Judas kiss Did my heart betray me Back on the road I never chose
Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Did I just miss My only way out of here Did I just miss The last exit to Eden Did I just miss My only way out
Never seen a sky so blue I've never been happy with anyone Like I am when I'm with you Look at the sun shining up in the sky I feel a little closer to heaven, baby When I'm looking into your eyes Andaslong as we're together boy I'm sitting on top of the world Wanna feel this way forever, boy I'm sitting on top of the world Last night I lay in the dark Tryin' to figure it out Tryin' to talk to my heart But now it's morning and I still don't know why All I know is that you got me feeling so good All I know is that it feels the way that true love should Ain't no one luckier than you and I Andaslong as we're together boy I'm sitting on top of the world Wanna feel this way forever, boy I'm sitting on top of the world
And everybody's got an opinion 'bout how this should be But they don't understand it No, no they just can't see That I belong with you and baby, baby, Baby, you belong with me
Andaslong as we're together boy I'm sitting on top of the world
Wanna feel this way forever, boy I'm sitting on top of the world Andaslong as we're together boy I'm sitting on top of the world
Fed up with my destiny And this place of no return Think I'll take another day And slowly watch it burn It doesn't really matter how the time goes by 'Cause I still remember you and I And that beautiful goodbye
We staggered through these empty streets Laughing arm in arm The night had made a mess of me Your confession kept me warm And I don't really miss you, I just need to know Do you ever think of you and I And that beautiful goodbye
When I see you now I wonder how I could've watched you walk away If I let you down Please forgive me now For that beautiful goodbye
In these days of no regrets I keep mine to myself And all the things we never said I can say for someone else 'Cause nothing lasts forever, but we always try And I just can't help but wonder why We let it pass us by
When I see you now I wonder how I could've watched you walk away If I let you down Please forgive me now For that beautiful goodbye
Baby what can I do Oh, to get through to you And sometimes I cry It's a fools lullaby And sometimes I cryIt's a fools lullaby
Indian summer Abilene You were new in town Abilene You were new in town I was nineteen And sparks flew They called us crazy Behind our backs Romantic fools We just let them laugh Because we knew It may be a long shot We may be lonely down the line But love knows no reason And I won't let them make up my mind My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this Let this dark horse run
Stars are brighter In a desert sky No need to wonder Or justify Where this will lead I wear your locket Our picture's inside Inscription says The joy's in the ride And I believe Something so sacred Is something worth this kind of fight Cause love knows no patience You can't please everyone all the time My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this Let this dark horse run
So rare So sweet Together baby We can be free My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this Let this dark horse run My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this Let this dark horse run
Indian summer Abilene You were new in town I was nineteen
Lost inside this angeltown Lost like I could not be found No connections of the heart Love was glass that broke apart Gimme faith in dreams And someone to hold Gimme love 'cause I'm out here in the cold There are no secrets No angels at my door
And oh, when you touch my hand I fall from grace And oh, when you reach for me I fall from grace On a steeltown boulevard Life's a promise that doesn't last Resurrections of the past Children come and are gone so fast So gimme faith in love Baby tonight Gimme arms to hold you here so tight There are no secrets No angels at my door And oh, when you touch my hand I fall from grace And oh, when you reach for me I fall from grace
Virgil Spencer's got a 19 inch hitachi, and many demons lingering Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel, something that he picked up from the King His wife remembers well the man she knew, seems the dreams she had have turned black and blue She's wasted years, no time for tears Cause there's another chance, and someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for her promised land Out beyond the lights of Birmingham
It's 3 a.m. and Virgil's passed out on the sofa, a fifth of Jim Beam on the floor She's packed a bag she slips the keys out of his pocket, and she's careful not to slam the door And as she drives she rubs her rosary she's never been so all alone, she's never felt so free She's got miles to go, blind faith and hope Cause there's another chance, and someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for her promised land Out beyond the lights of Birmingham
As the rain falls down upon the interstate, any doubts she had are all but washed away One long look back, at Birmingham Cause there's another chance, and someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for her promised land Out beyond the lights of Birmingham another chance, and someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for her promised land Out beyond the lights of Birmingham
