I was all just a dream, Oh no
The worst it was real All my pets they were there and they smiled Take a seat it looks fine Everybody so inviting They got it in for me I know It's not that I don't really love you It's just that I don't really know The hateful things you think you want to say Time will turn them into jokes If it was all just a dream, Oh no Was it real? I don't know If it was you were on there with me Overjoyed in a peach Oh Get, Get a pain, Get a watch It was like a moonlight in life I saw worst in a stop liner cuz It go fast aint got time is been shot Everybody got to party Should've waiting for me Everybody got to party Should've waited till way Cause today they talk about us And tomorrow they won't care Is a life is it a dream I can't tell I got up and I wait in a throw I will call you up every day Overjoyed in a case First time around Second take so long Third time's the charm Second falls Five days to rehearse Six American work Seven's in a scale Eight circum change Nine intoxicate Ten is you & friend Eleven seconds there Because twelve make you goooaa |

Oh the strange to impress on me
Old friends don't realize I'm here I wish two drinks where always in me Oh today I'll have the perfect day Take me to the water Make me in the sky But I was wrong For me tomorrow is my first day So please don't turn me in the wrong way It's almost after midnight I can see the city lights are here Change your mind tonight You belong to the city now With your clothes And now I know You belong on the radio I swear I'll give it back tomorrow But for now I think that I'll just borrow All the chords from that song And all the words from that other song I heard Yesterday Change your mind tonight You belong to the city now With your clothes And now I know You belong on the radio I will not disturb you I was just the child in you The color blame me |

They love you or they hate you
Cause they will never let you be They thrill you or sedate you But they will never let you see Amber evening sun Amber evening sun In parent and deranged you Watch you walking scared along Despite intimidation Used to watch you dance along Amber evening sun Amber evening sun Call you a sappy whiner Someday you'll come back and I'll be dreaming of a sundown I don't wanna make your heart And break your heart in two halves Give point and forget, fun have to meet Eye of the sun, miss you so much Tell me what you do, nothing will do All actors they're pretending And singers they sometimes lie Oh kids are always honest Cause they don't think they're ever gonna die You're the prettiest smartest captain of the team I love you more than being seventeen Amber evening sun Amber evening sun |

I don't feel better
When I'm fucking around And I don't write better When I'm stuck in the ground, So don't teach me a lesson 'cause I've already learned. Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn. The heart beats in its cage. I don't want what you want. I don't feel what you feel. See, I'm stuck in a city But I belong in a field. Yeah we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left. Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone. The heart beats in its cage. All our friends they're laughing at us. All of those you loved you mistrust. Help me, I'm just not quite myself. Look around there's no one else left. I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd. Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around. Oh he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left. I am sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire. The heart beats in its cage. |

I think I know what you mean
but watch what you say 'cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way. Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep. How do you wake someone up from inside a dream? Your mind would wander and and search for its place in the night. Your body followed this feeling like following light. Once that your music was born it followed you 'round and then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud. You're sad but you smile. It's not in your eyes. Your eyeballs don't change. It's the muscles around your eyes. An egg to fertilize, A pulse to stabilize, A body to deodorize, A life to scrutinize, A child to criticize, Young adults to modernize, Citizens to terrorize, Generations to desensitize. You're dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked. You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked. How disappointed would D.(edad) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(nventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hiosophers) be to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed? Am I a prisoner to instincts or do my thoughts just live as free and detached as boats to the dock? Just like when music was born and detached from your heart. Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart? Night after night you turn out the light. You don't fall asleep right away. "Are we... are we done?" A desk to organize, A product to advertise, A market to monopolize, Movie stars to idolize, Leaders to scandalize, Enemies to neutralize, No time to apologize, Fury to tranquilize, Weapons to synchronize, Cities to vaporize. |

But he won't debate Said, "Thanks my friend" But he was too late Oh why, oh why I don't know So you think things move Pretty fast down here Well just wait my dear Till you look up there Oh maybe someday You'll know Had his second kid, Was an early night Got to be well dressed 'Cause he hates to fly Oh loves his job Takes it home Anything they wanted They could have it, have it Didn't even notice I don't mind it, mind it Won't decide But he won't debate Said, "Thanks my friend Thought that we was dead" Oh why, oh why I don't know Think things move Pretty fast down here But just wait my dear Till we get up there Oh maybe someday They'll know Come on tell me Does she wander Roam when he comes Or does he just know How to leave When it gets cold Well I don't care I don't care 'Cause it's free |

No choice now
it's too late Let him go he gave up I gave up Lisa said Take time for me Dropping him down to his knees I chance down Take me away see I've got to explain Things they are changing in such a permanent way My life seems unreal can we go back to your place Ah you drink too much let me drink just the same People tried felt so right Giving themselves good advice Looking down sometimes felt nice He knows it's just a fact to kill to survive He's earning dollars you won't get in your life Let's suck more blood let's work 3 hours a day The world is over but I don't care cause I am with you now I've got to explain Things they have changed in such a permanent way Life seems unreal can we go back to your place You drink too much makes me drink just the same The first time that I met your friends And the second time I thought it would last We all like it a little different |

I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up Oh Mama running out of luck But like my sister just don't give a fuck I want to steal your innocence To me my life it don't make sense Your strange manners I love you so Why won't you wear your new trench coat I should have worked much harder I should have just not bothered I never show up on weekdays That's something that you learned yesterday Drive you to work so you'll be on time Your little problems they're not yours they're mine Come on listen to what I say I've got some secrets that'll make you stay I just want to turn you down I just want to turn you around You ain't never had anything I wanted but I want it all I just can't figure out Nothing And all together it went well We made pretend we were best friends And then she said Oh you're a freak They ordered me to make mistakes Together again like the beginning It all works somehow in the end The things we did the things you hide But for the records it's all between you and I I didn't take no shortcuts I spent the money that I saved up Oh Mama running out of luck But like my sister just dont give a fuck I want to steal your innocence To me my life it don't make any sense Your strange manners I love you so Why won't you wear your new trench coat I just want to misbehave I just want to be your slave You ain't never had anything I wanted but I want it all I just can't figure out Nothing And all together it went well We made pretned we were best friends And then she said Oh I can't wait They ordered me to make mistakes Together again like the beginning It all works somehow in the end The things we did the things you hide But for the records it's all between you and I |

Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone Tried to take control I don't see it that way I don't see it that way We shared some ideas All obsessed with fate Ways we're all the same I don't see it that way I don't see it that way Raised in Carolina I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back I missed the last bus I'll take the next train I tried but you see It's hard to explain I say the right thing But act the wrong way I like it right here But I cannot stay I watch the tv Forget what I'm told Well I am too young And they are too old The joke is on you This place is a zoo You're right it's true He said he can't decide I shake my head to say Everything's just great Oh I just can't remember I just can't remember Raised in Carolina she says I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back I say the right thing But act the wrong way I like it right here But I cannot stay I watch the tv Forget what I'm told Well I am too young And they are too old I'll make it you see I'm ever so pleased Pretend to be nice So I can be mean I missed the last bus I'll take the next train I try but you see It's hard to explain |

(Oh I meant, ah no I didn't mean that at all)
Here in the streets so merchanised Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life Studied all the rules I don't want no part But I let you in just to break this heart Even though it was only one night It was fucking strange Nina's in the bedroom She said time to go now But leaving it ain't easy I got to let go I got to let go And the hours they ran slow I said everynight she just can't stop saying New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart Kill me now cause I let you down I swear one day I'm going to leave this town Stop. Yes I'm leaving Cause it just won't work They act like Romans but they dress like Turks Sometime in your prime See me I like the summertime (but hey) Nina's in the bedroom She said time to go now But leaving it ain't easy I got to let go I got to let go oh Trapped in an apartment She would not let them get her She wrote it in a letter I got to come clean The authorities they've seen Darling I'm somewhere in between I said everynight, she just can't stop saying New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart |

Soma is what they would take
when hard times opened their eyes Saw pain in a new way High stakes for a few names Racing against sunbeams Losing against their dreams In your eyes, I am Stop, and go In your eyes, I am Stop, and go In your eyes When I saw her for the first time lips moved as her eyes closed Heard something in his voice And i'll be there, he says and he walks out Somehow he was trying too hard to be like them And I am Stop, and go In your eyes, and I am Stop and darling let me go Try it once and they liked it, and try to hide it Says I've been doing this twenty-five years Well I'm not listening no more And these friends they keep asking for more Oh yeah Oh but thats it |

Up on a hill
here's where we begin This little story long time ago Stop to pretend stop pretending It seems this game is simply never ending Ah in the sun sun having fun it's in my blood I just can't help it don't want you here right now Let me go Let me go go go go go go go go Leaving just in time stayed there for a while Rolling in the ocean trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different so I'll pretend I'm leaving I feel so different now we tried to deviate We should learn to stay My vision's clearer now but I'm not afraid Flying overseas no time to feel the breeze I took too many varieties Ah in the sun sun having fun it's in my blood I just can't help it don't want you here right now Let me go Let me go go go go go go go go Leaving just in time stayed there for a while Rolling in the ocean trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different so I'll pretend I'm leaving |

You said you couldn't stay
You've seen it all before I know They sold you on their way Oh honey that's ok No harm he's armed Setting off all your alarms When I found out I hope it's you who's set this trap And storefronts rarely change At least I'm on my own again Instead of anywhere with you Ah tell me it's all the same And I lost my page again I know this is surreal But I'll try my luck with you This life is on my side I am your one Believe me this is a chance Lets see what's for sale He's trying not to give his job a chance It's never going to be It's sad but I agree The signals don't seem right It lasts for just one night and then I'm sorry that I said that we were just good friends No harm he's armed Setting off all your alarms Entranced I couldn't be there in time Now think about that And I lost my page again I know this is surreal But I'll try my luck with you This life is on my side And I am your one Believe me this is a chance |
