Stephan Wichnewski

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.

(Georgia - Ahhh Ahh Ahhh)
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

For the moments slip right through it
Combed his hair, combed his hair
In the feeling of contentment
An actor's actor, an actor's actor
Smile his smile uncomprehending
Took his time, took his time
Wore a hat so he'd impress her
To ride, To ride ..
..

Since I could wait for hours
I could wait and never fall down,
never fall down, never fall down
Face down besde the river (10x)

For the moments slip right through it
Combed his hair, combed his hair
In the feeling of contentment
An actor's actor, an actor's actor
Smile his smile uncomprehending
Took his time, took his time
Wore a hat so he'd impress her
To ride, To ride ..
..

Since I could wait for hours
I could wait and never fall down,
never fall down, never fall down
Face down besde the river (10x)

For the moments slip right through it
Combed his hair, combed his hair
In the feeling of contentment
An actor's actor, an actor's actor
Smile his smile uncomprehending
Took his time, took his time
Wore a hat so he'd impress her
To ride, To ride ..
..

Since I could wait for hours
I could wait and never fall down,
never fall down, never fall down
Face down besde the river (10x)

I have spent my life trying to understand
Just how my life lets aware who I am
But it leaves a bitter taste
And feels like such a waste
I am so totally vague
Betray the dark line, see if I care
I loved you when I was young
But no more
So burn down the fireman's fair

Memory plays its tricks on me
In my mind's eye, I claim to see
I'm losing every race I run
Making misery out of fun
So bulldoze the new road they're driving
Slash the beanbag chair
You held me for so very long
But no more
So burn down the fireman's fair

How many type of things do we think we need?
But that doesn't make them true
I'm a little afraid I'm falling far and free
I'll leave that up to you
That's up to you

So won't you find me totally vague
A drain has died, see if I care
I loved you when I was young
But no more
So burn down the fireman's fair
Fireman's fair
Burn down the fireman's fair
Fireman's fair
Burn down the fireman's fair

I have spent my life trying to understand
Just how my life lets aware who I am
But it leaves a bitter taste
And feels like such a waste
I am so totally vague
Betray the dark line, see if I care
I loved you when I was young
But no more
So burn down the fireman's fair

Memory plays its tricks on me
In my mind's eye, I claim to see
I'm losing every race I run
Making misery out of fun
So bulldoze the new road they're driving
Slash the beanbag chair
You held me for so very long
But no more
So burn down the fireman's fair

How many type of things do we think we need?
But that doesn't make them true
I'm a little afraid I'm falling far and free
I'll leave that up to you
That's up to you

So won't you find me totally vague
A drain has died, see if I care
I loved you when I was young
But no more
So burn down the fireman's fair
Fireman's fair
Burn down the fireman's fair
Fireman's fair
Burn down the fireman's fair

Let's be undecided, let's take our time
And sooner or later, we will know our mind
We'll be on the outside, we won't care
Cause we're together, that's somewhere

And there's a big day coming, about a mile away
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait

Let's wake up the neighbors, let's turn up our amps
And we know we're used to without a plan
We can play a Stones song, sitting on a fence
And it'll sound pretty good, til I forget how it ends

I woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep
Cause I had been thinking of where it all would lead
So I made you wake up, I said, "Let's take a walk,
I wanna hold your hand, we don't have to talk"

Let's be undecided, let's take our time
And sooner or later, we will know our mind
We'll be on the outside, we won't care
Cause we're together, that's somewhere

And there's a big day coming, about a mile away
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait

Let's wake up the neighbors, let's turn up our amps
And we know we're used to without a plan
We can play a Stones song, sitting on a fence
And it'll sound pretty good, til I forget how it ends

I woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep
Cause I had been thinking of where it all would lead
So I made you wake up, I said, "Let's take a walk,
I wanna hold your hand, we don't have to talk"

Big sky looked down at all the people looking up at the big sky
Everyone was pushing one another around
Big sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry
Big sky's too big to let it get him down

Big sky's too big to cry
Big sky's too high to see
People like you and me

One day we'll be free
We won't care, just you wait and see
'Til that day can be
Don't let it get you down

And when I think
That the world's too much for me
I think of the big sky
And nothing matters much to me

Big sky looked down on all the people who think they have problems
They get depressed, they hold their head in their hands and they cry
People lift up their heads and look up to the big sky
Big sky's too big to sympathize

Big sky's too occupied
Though he would like to try
Then he'd feel glad inside
Big sky's too big to cry

One day we'll be free
We won't care, just you wait and see
'Til that day can be
Don't let it get you down

And when I think
That the world's too much for me
I think of the big sky
And nothing matters much to me

You can take what you can get
I forgive but I forget
You can never sleep enough
And your alarm is going off

You wake up and you can't pretend a dream was just a dream again
Won't you dry your eyes?
But it doesn't matter anymore, you did just what you did before
Until you realize the words go la la la la la

You can dip your brain in joy
When you find the real McCoy

When some pretty boys with skinny ties, black flowers and Valentines
Try to take you home
Do you recognize that I have stopped before you get too high
On your own supply, singing la la la la

You want it, you got it, but you can't take it home
You've got a long way to go
I wait forever to say that you will
You have a heart to show

Honey, you don't have to stay inside, don't have to run, don't have to hide
Come and dry your eyes
You know you can always change your mind, maybe I will too in time
Once we understand no one understands at all

Singing la la la la
Singing la la la la

You can take what you can get
I forgive but I forget
You can never sleep enough
And your alarm is going off

You wake up and you can't pretend a dream was just a dream again
Won't you dry your eyes?
But it doesn't matter anymore, you did just what you did before
Until you realize the words go la la la la la

You can dip your brain in joy
When you find the real McCoy

When some pretty boys with skinny ties, black flowers and Valentines
Try to take you home
Do you recognize that I have stopped before you get too high
On your own supply, singing la la la la

You want it, you got it, but you can't take it home
You've got a long way to go
I wait forever to say that you will
You have a heart to show

Honey, you don't have to stay inside, don't have to run, don't have to hide
Come and dry your eyes
You know you can always change your mind, maybe I will too in time
Once we understand no one understands at all

Singing la la la la
Singing la la la la

You, you won't talk about what we see
when the lights are out
And I'm willing to hold your hand while you're lost,
while you're so full
of doubt
Walk for miles, on your own loose ends,
I'll find you there
I'll find you there

You, you walk up thin blue lines possible with reality
And I, I see through small red eyes,
glowing still at your uncertainty
Out of darkness you will come around, I know you will,
I know you will
And I'll find you, and I'll find you there

You, you won't talk about what we see
when the lights are out
And I'm willing to hold your hand while you're lost,
while you're so full
of doubt
Walk for miles, on your own loose ends,
I'll find you there
I'll find you there

You, you walk up thin blue lines possible with reality
And I, I see through small red eyes,
glowing still at your uncertainty
Out of darkness you will come around, I know you will,
I know you will
And I'll find you, and I'll find you there

Baby, every cloud has a silver lining
Baby, every dog really has its day
And it matters to me to see you smiling
Why don't we blow all your cares away?

Yesterday's gone and will be forgotten
And today is where every new day starts
Got to be free like the leaves in Autumn
You may be sad but it never lasts

And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark

We could go out walking out in the sunshine
Look at all the people out in the street
Hurrying away to their business functions
Waiting for a taxi for aching feet

Light up your face, baby
Let's get going
Wanna see a change in those weary eyes
We'll have some fun
Take a boat out rowing
Why ever should life so serious?

And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark

And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark
By the time it gets dark
By the time it gets dark
By the time it gets darka€|

Wander along together
By the edge of the river
Hush little baby, don't you cry
Cross over to the other side of the water

You
And I
We could live in peace like this
In peace like this

Gaze up at the moon hanging low in the sky
Onlookers appear around us
Gaze up at the moon hanging low in the sky
As we slip away into the darkness

You
And I
We could live in peace like this
In peace like this

You
And I
Belong in dreams like this
You
And I
We could live in dreams like this
In dreams like this

seems like falling down
or away lost at sea
or the one that's left behind
or the wake of you and me

maybe I know that
maybe it's better
but I can't forget the time

I know where I am
every day every night
like the one who knows too much
trusts the same old thing

maybe I know that
maybe it's better
but I can't forget the time

realizing nothing
I remember when

maybe I know that
maybe it's better
but I can't forget the time

maybe I know that
maybe it's better
maybe it's nothing
but I can't forget the time

In crowded bars, at subway cars

Whenever you are next to me,
center of gravity,
can't feel both feet on the ground

Walking home after dark, past the softball park

It's clear to me, according to a rule I learned one day in school
Basic geometry: two halves of a circle, you and me

It's a familial song we've known so long

Your clever cuts into me
as long as you're next to me
I can't feel both feet on the ground

Someone else's date
In someone else's door
There's a girl with cherry Chapstick on and nothing more.
It's such a lurid pose
and she seems this close
But not to me

Clear as day
Crawling home at night
Wondering why the girls don't look at me when I walk by.
And the way they make me feel is way too real to believe

???
???
Wondering what it could be like if I could be that smooth
I could think about all that I missed out
It's hard to do

Someone else's date
In someone else's door
There's a girl with cherry Chapstick on and nothing more
It's such a lurid pose
and she seems this close
But not to me

Running around in circles all day long

Someone else's date, someone else's door
There's a girl with cherry chapstick on and nothing more
It's such a lurid pose and she seems this close
But not to me

Night and day, swingers on the move
Wondering what it could be like if I could be that smooth
I could think about all that I missed out
It's hard to do

Someone else's date, someone else's door
There's a girl with cherry Chapstick on and nothing more
It's such a lurid pose and she seems this close
But not to me

Running 'round in circles all day long

Not much Friday night, pinball, Lower East Side
Walked halfway past and into the bar
I used to think about you all the time
I would think about you all the time
Now it just feels weird, that there you are
The damage is done

Feeling like a kid again, my eyes are glued to the floor
I hope I mumbled goodbye as you walked out the door
The damage is done

I see you crawling across the floor
Never see you standing anymore
You take whatever's put in your hand
You ask for more until you can't

Decora

It's not the first time you'll take a fall
Act like you've never sleen double before
We tie deep into the past
Take this chance with me cause it's your last

I may have been gazing out too late at night
I see a deeper window into my eyes
Every day they screech outside my window,
The crashing cars never seem to collide

Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
To catch the stars, I watch as they go by
I've been getting messages from outer space
They expire light in the window in the sky
There goes my mind

If we dare walk onto my window
I could hear them if I open my eyes

Sometimes flashing lights seem soulful in the window
You may have seen them circle me at night
I keep sending signals into outer space
They expire by your window in the sky
There goes my mind

Every day when restlessness takes over me
I can't see it as I'm closing my eyes
I keep sending signals into outer space
They expire light in the window in the sky

Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
To catch the stars, I watch as they go by
I've been getting messages from outer space
They expire light in the window in the sky

By your window in the sky

When she sleeps she shuts out the eyesights of you
When you call her name she trembles at what you might do

Daytime- save her and she might give in
Nighttime- demons who know you can't win

Sleeping demons
They lurk but they don't make a sound
But you won't get up even when they're not around

Daytime- brings out the promise within
Nighttime- demons who know you can't win

Daytime- brings out the promise within
Nighttime- demons who know you can't win
Daytime- brings out the promise within
Demons who know you can't win

When she sleeps she shuts out the eyesights of you
When you call her name she trembles at what you might do

Daytime- save her and she might give in
Nighttime- demons who know you can't win

Sleeping demons
They lurk but they don't make a sound
But you won't get up even when they're not around

Daytime- brings out the promise within
Nighttime- demons who know you can't win

Daytime- brings out the promise within
Nighttime- demons who know you can't win
Daytime- brings out the promise within
Demons who know you can't win

Did I tell you of the dark lonely road
I was counting my steps as I made my way home
Days of nothing but time on your hands, weighing on me
Came to my end, undecided
Whether to count what I felt against what I could say
I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
My brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait.
Our love is so important to me
Starts wherever you land, walks right over to me
Days of nothing but time in between, obviously
So unwary, so uncaring
I try not to be part of that, well, that's easy to say
That I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
My brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait.
There's a moment to discover no one can take all the blame
And it's finally clear.
I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
When deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
My brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait,
Willing to wait, willing to wait

You and me were at some goldfish pond
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

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

You know you shouldn't hide but you always do
'Cause even when you're gone, I can see right through
You want disconnection, you want me there enough for 2

Pull a woollen blanket across my eyes
Dream a quiet place for us to fight
Oh no, your heart is broken- don't you think that's a little trite

I climb where I can see- you're close but I won't reach
Blank stare at the TV- CNN's on Channel 3

In the passing lane on 1 and 9
Stuck in sad, car stuck in drive
Oh no, your heart is broken- well,
you can have what's left of mine

I climb where I can see- you're close but I won't reach
Blank stare at the TV- THE HOWLING II's on Channel 3
Oh, I drift off to sleep, while the snow falls on the screen

You know you shouldn't hide but you always do
'Cause even when you're gone, I can see right through
You want disconnection, you want me there enough for 2

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
