People say that once you dyed your hair
You started showing up everywhere Well you're standing tall, and you've got nothing at all So you grab at everything you see Now the world keeps spinning when you die While the lights keep flashing in the sky They'll be sighing after normal sights Drags up baggage, pretend to read Demand the pages that you'll never redo Sun sets down on your skittish heart Cedar mile, how it's coming apart Now the world keeps spinning when you die While the lights keep flashing in the sky They'll be sighing after normal fights Pickled eels, lemon peels Hired hand picks you something new Rainbow nights, stunning whites Stars that shine but don't belong to you The passive fools by the swimming pool You'll fit right in with their pathetic grins Stunning tricks, bottomless pits You remind me where I don't want to be While the lights keep flashing in the sky They'll be sighing after normal sights Now the world keeps spinning when you die |

At my house I have got no shackles
You can come and see if you want to In the walls youll see the mantles Where the light shines dim all around you And the streets are paved with gold and if Someone asks you, you can call my name You're just a thought that someone Somewhere, somehow feels you should be here And it's so for real to see you To smell, to touch, to know where you are here And the streets are paved with gold and if Someone asks you, you can call my name You can call my name I hear you calling my name! By the time that I'm through singing The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing More confusions, blood transfusions The news today will be the movies for tomorrow And the waters turned to blood, and if You don't think so Go turn on your tub And it's mixed with mud Youll see it turn to gray And you can call my name I hear you calling my name |

Will you ever say what I fear you're dying to say?
Well, I don't mind if I don't think about it Another sleepless night reading over by the only light But I don't mind if I don't think about it What scares me most I'll keep from you If you want me to I'll keep from you Does it makes sense to you, getting old, living life 22? Well, I don't mind if I don't think about it Let's go far away Let's leave today If you want us to we'll leave today Will you ever say? |

All of the thoughts we thought would stay unsaid,
Have made their way here instead, before the riot, As the days ahead become behind, Replace the tape as we rewind, before the riot. Tell me all your secrets, Say it slowly and clear so you don't have to speak twice. And if there's things that I'm afraid to know, I should have learnd them years ago, before the riot. I don't believe we're hopeless as we fear, Or as good as we appear, before the riot, I could be strong inside your sleeping eyes, Unafraid of truth, unafraid of lies, before the riot. Think of what we're missing, Well take that thought and put it out of your head. And if we can stop a restless night, Won't give up without a fight, before the riot. I can feel the time is coming, sure it's coming soon Do what we do, hiding out from view, Sure it's coming, Say the worst should happen, Would we plan for that, even if we could ____ And if we can stop a restless night, Won't give up without a fight, before the riot, Here it comes, before the riot. |

Came the day you made your mind to put you down Raised your voice and found it made a stronger sound Chorus: Alyda, what have you done to you Did confusion make you act that self assured To take the step that you were not yet ready for chorus Alyda, what have you done to you While you whiled away the hour Do you still the way i knew Do you dream of something better Or just something else to do He said how you hopped until your feet grew corns Check for some reaction then just hop some more chorus: Alyda, Alyda, Alyda - what have you done to you, to you, to you |

Andalucia when can I see you
When it is snowing out again Farmer john wants you Louder and softer closer and dearer Then again Needing you taking you keeping you leaving you In a year and a day to be sure That your face doesnt alter Your words never falter -- I love you Ill be here waiting later and later Hoping the night will go away Andalucia castles and christians Andalucia come to stay You were lost, once before, on a day much like this When youd made up your mind not to come And I couldnt persuade you Or wait till tomorrow -- or pass the time |

'There is a group of young Chinese who love music as their manner of
expression. They find love in adversity and dedication. They represent dramatic, living love.' Let's go change, you hokey little runt who wanted to dance, maybe fifteen years old, maybe sixteen years old, she says, "Hey man, you all suck!" So I get on up there, put her on her little ass with my honky stuff, with this attack on love. A little later on, it don't matter when, I get up back on the dance floor again. I say, "Hey, baby, what's your name? What's your name? What bothers you today? Are you ready for a little something to do?" |

When I heard the knock on the door
I couldn't catch my breath Is it too late to call this off We could slip away, wouldn't that be better Me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater I tried my best to hide In a crowded room, it's nearly possible I wait for you, oh, most patiently So I looked for your eyes And the waves looked like they'd pour right out of them I'll try hard, I'll try always But it's a waste of time It's a waste of time if I can't smile easily Like in the beginning In the beginning... |

Avalon, how did these things happen?
Avalon, tell me all you know The perfect crime, we laughed about it, laughed the whole night through When we were caught, it was because of you Talkin bout all that we once knew Avalon, the clock is falling back now Avalon, we'd be if we could You used to say "the water's fine, nevermind the view" I didn't mind as long as I have you Talkin bout all that we've been through Somedays, somedays we might be tired of being tired We claim, we claim to be one of one of one We didn't know the things we said Would turn out untrue The day would come when I'd be somewhere new and what about you Times have changed for me and times have changed for you, for you Talkin bout all that we once knew |

And I, I was tagging along for the ride All the big-mouthed fish really made us laugh And while I stood still, I felt a chill I thought that maybe you did too I wanted to feel that way forever And that's why if you're looking at me, I'll try To be what you want to see, and if I'm If I'm ever that lucky You won't have to be so, you won't have to be so sad You won't have to be so sad Last night I was trying to read in bed I got to watching you sleep instead Even when I got tired, I couldn't stop Because I love you so And I pray you know But I'm not much for praying I knew I couldn't say that without making a joke And that's why if you're looking at me, I'll try To be what you want to see, and if I'm If I'm ever that lucky You won't have to be so, you won't have to be so sad You won't have to be so sad Yeah, that's why if you're looking at me, I'll try To be what you want to see, and if I'm If I'm ever that lucky You won't have to be so, you won't have to be so sad You won't have to be so sad You won't have to be so sad |

I, I should know
You shouldn't have to tell me Sometimes it's the way we feel or the way we feel we feel- pretty bad In a double dare He's got wandering eyes And I see 'em look at you looking straight at you- but I know where they are I'll walk you home You take as long as it takes The sun in the morning sky, in the morning sky we'll know where we are We'll know where we are |

You may have left your mistake with breakfast
Watching the sun go down I've been lying awake till dawn now I'm not ready to face that I'm not ready to face that thing today I wish I was high Brighter than nothing Smarter than nobody I've wasted away I think of the things that matter And I think of the things that don't Whatever it is no matter I hate feeling the way i feel I hate feeeling the way I eel today I wish I was high Brighter than nothing Smarter than nobody I've wasted away I see myself with headphones on I'm listening to Wake of the Flood (?) (2x) now I'm high I wish I was high Brighter than nothing Smarter than nobody I've wasted away I wish I was high Brighter than nothing Smarter than nobody I've wasted away |

I want summer's sad songs behind me.
I want a laugh a minute, without fail Want to be Paul Le Mat in 1980 Looking to forget tomorrow, looking everyday. I want to see you put your hands together. I want to cross my heart I want to hope to die I hear Kate Moss talk, she talks to me She's looking for a new beginning everyday. When Monday comes I want nothing Come Tuesday morning I want the same The days and nights fly by Looking to embrace the nothing, of the everyday |

Oh no, I think I'm falling for a false alarm
Like an all-day second stuck Until you crunch the right arm Well if I open my eyes, if I just pay attention to McNew Well, I just held back To listen to your cues So it's not enough I never meant to hold you down Waiting for the firestorm Waiting for the false alarm Well, is it really true? Well, I know, I mean I guess, uh, why not Well is it really true, I don't know, Too hard to figure out I'm gonna mark my words, cross my eyes and stomp my feet Cause I don't want you feeling bad, feeling bad, feeling Worse than you do Well, I'll stand my ground, hide behind a fake smile Think I'll talk about something else Just for a little while Aw, said it once, said it twice, said it - you can tell it's the same old tune Straight down to the bitter end Tell me when there's more to go there soon It's gonna hold my tongue in place, think about what to do If you don't see nothing wrong this time Well I'm taking it out on you |

Eyes go places that you can't see
It's not that easy to hide from me I hear the whispers everywhere I go I hear the laughter everywhere I go 3 AM with the TV on 4 AM, TV on The nervous ticking of my heart Restlessness when we're apart .. Think about the last thing that we said Again and again it runs through my head And I hear footsteps that aren't yours They sound like yours, but they all do ... Not much left for me to pray Why sleep or dream when I'm awake My eyes in places you forgot to look My eyes in places you forgot to look |

It's gonna be a bumpy night she said
Or something or other I didn't know It's a messed-up situation It's a stab in the back when you turn to gold When you turn to gold Yeah yeah, do you think it'll work all right? Set your sight to be unafraid of The harm that comes from change I could think about it What am I supposed to do now? I had a chance in a million, it slipped away There's a change in the weather coming When what once was black and white will slowly turn to gray Yeah yeah, do you think it'll work all right? Set your sight to be unafraid of The harm that comes from change I could think about it Yeah yeah, said do you think it could work all right? Set your sight to be unafraid of The harm that comes from change Harm that comes from change |

from I'M Not There (아임 낫 데어) [ost] (2007)
When she said, "Don't waste your words, they're just lies"
I cried she was deaf And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes And what else you got left It was then that I got up to leave But she said, "Don't forget Everybody must give something back For something they get" I stood there and hummed, I tapped on her drum I asked her how come And she buttoned her boot and straightened her suit Then she said, "Don't get cute" So, I forced my hands in my pockets And felt with my thumbs And gallantly handed her My very last piece of gum She threw me outside, I stood in the dirt Where everyone walked And after finding that I forgotten my shirt I went back and knocked I waited in the hallway, she went to get it And I tried to make sense Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair That leaned up against Her Jamaican rum and when she did come I asked her for some She said, "No, dear", I said, "Your words aren't clear You'd better spit out your gum" She screamed till her face got so red Then she fell on the floor And I covered her up and then Thought I'd go look through her drawer And when I was through I filled up my shoe And brought it to you And you, you took me in, you loved me then You never wasted time And I, I never took much I never asked for your crutch Now, don't ask for mine |

Several times over several days
I wasn't blind, but I acted that way Causing you pain, well now I have to explain As the empty feeling turns from black to blue I can't believe this never happens to you I see it on the TV and I laugh out loud But it's the way I feel right now Cooler than me, my confidence high Reset the scene, no way to deny it Finally I won and then I was undone As the empty feeling turns from black to blue I can't believe this never happens to you I see it on the TV and I laugh out loud But it's the way I feel right now As the empty feeling turns from black to blue I can't believe this never happens to you I see it on the TV and I laugh out loud But it's the way I feel right now |

Come won't you walk with me Griselda,
wearing the dress that moonlight shines through. I am a sad and lonely boy , since your mother said I couldn't see you. Slipping through the wood in the dark of the night, calling to the moon out yonder O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light, and lead me to my Griselda. Do you recall last night Griselda? Learning the lessons nature taught us. Watching the fish up the lake, it was lovely till your mother caught us. Slipping through the wood in the dark of the night, calling to the moon out yonder O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light, and lead me to my Griselda. Moonflower find upon the window, give me a foothold for my finding. I've got a row boat on the lake. Fishing around and all the sun was shining. Slipping through the wood in the dark of the night, calling to the moon out yonder O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light, and lead me to my Griselda. I've got a jug of wine Griselda. Why must you waste your time in sorrow? Hold out your hand; have no fear. If we're caught, I'll marry you tomorrow. Slipping through the wood in the dark of the night, calling to the moon out yonder O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light, and lead me to my Griselda. Slipping through the wood in the dark of the night, calling to the moon out yonder O Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light, and lead me to my Griselda. |

If the satcheting of gentlemen
Gives you grievance now and then What's needed are some memories of planing lakes those planing lakes will surely calm you down. Nothing frightens me more Than religion at my door I never answer panick knocking Falling down the stairs upon the law, What law? There's a law for everything And for Elephants that sing to keep The cows that agriculture won't allow Hanky Panky nohow Hanky Panky nohow Hanky Panky nohow ohhhhhhh There's a law for everything And for Elephants that sing to keep The cows that agriculture won't allow Hanky Panky nohow Hanky Panky nohow Hanky Panky nohow ohhhhhhh |

In the midnight moonlight i'll, be walkin a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seein this picture of you. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, And it can come as no surprise to me, with another guy. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine, Never could be mine, no matter how I try. You never walk alone, and you're forever talkin on the phone. I've tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, And it can come as no surprise to me, with another guy. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine, Never could be mine, no matter how I try. I'm still waitin for your heart, cause I'm sure that some day it's gonna start. You'll be mine to hold each day, but 'till then, this is all that I can say. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, And it can come as no surprise to me, with another guy. Here comes my baby, here she comes now, Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine, Never could be mine, no matter how I try. |

There will be some happy endings
There'll be dreams that don't come true But in the times ahead, there's love and dread coming All in all, it makes it that much harder for you I know you're worried I'm worried too But if you're ready, I'm here to fall with you What else is there for us to do? You'll push back against the sorrow Wait for the sun and we get through And if it glares too bright, we'll pull the shades but dim the lights That's just the way it is, but it makes it that much harder for you I know you're worried I'm worried too But if you're ready, I'm here to fall with you What else is there for us to do?
