There is fiction in the space between The lines on your page of memories Write it down but it doesn't mean You're not just telling stories There is fiction in the space between You and me
There is fiction in the space between You and reality You will do and say anything To make your everyday life Seem less mundane There is fiction in the space between You and me
There's a science fiction in the space between You and me A fabrication of a grand scheme Where I am the scary monster I eat the city and as I leave the scene In my spaceship I am laughing In your remembrance of your bad dream There's no one but you standing
Leave the pity and the blame For the ones who do not speak You write the words to get respect and compassion And for posterity You write the words and make believe There is truth in the space between
There is fiction in the space between You and everybody Give us all what we need Give us one more sad sordid story But in the fiction of the space between Sometimes a lie is the best thing Sometimes a lie is the best thing
You and me Had some history Had a semblance of honesty All that has changed now We shared words Only lover speak How can it be We are less than strangers
Oh it hurts to lose in love Let anger and cruelty win It's unfair that you doubt your feelings And that you'll ever love again I know that hearts can change Like the seasons and the wind But when I said forever I thought that we'd always be friends You and me had some history Had a semblance of honesty All that has changed now We shared words Only lovers speak How can it be We are less than strangers
I thought I saw you yesterday I thought I passed you on the street I swear I saw your face I was not imagining That you stole a glance my way You walked away from me My heart it may be broken But my eyes are dry to see You and me had some history Had a semblance of honesty All that has changed now We shared words Only lovers speak How can it be We are less than strangers
Unsettled hearts Promise what they can't deliver Bring me the wine And the cold night air to clear my head Gray matter memory house Master of this trembling flesh Steady still my doubts Let me speak the word that precedes bliss Let me speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word
These weakened knees Have not touched ground or pew in ages I haven't bowed my head I offer thanks to any god or to ask for favors But watch me now I'm falling down Praying To speak the word that precedes bliss To speak the word To speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Let me speak the word
It's OK Love is only meant for some I'm the rock The shoulder you can cry on I keep the walls from falling down I keep the walls from falling down I keep the walls from falling down
I'll play it straight While you laugh and drink and party all night long I'll designate myself To be the driver who takes you home I keep the walls from falling down I keep the walls from falling down
You can be pretty and tragic I'll try to keep the walls from falling down You can be beautiful and fabulous I'll try to keep the walls from falling down I can't reach the pain you feel But I'll try to keep the walls from falling down If you can hold on Lose your fear I'll try to keep the walls from falling down Falling down Falling down Where is your saint? To let you know you're not alone To bring you peace Help me be your friend your confidante And keep the walls from falling down Keep the walls from falling down Keep the walls from falling down
I've been having dreams and visions In them you are always standing Right beside me I reach out for your hand To see your arms extending outstretched towards me
For you I don the veil By your light Others pale by comparison I place my faith in love My fate in this communication
I've been having dreams and visions In them you are always standing Right beside me I reach out for your hand To see your arms extending Outstretched towards me
To you I give my pledge I honor all that's good In this life we're living To think not only of myself But of the greater union
Can I get a witness There is salvation and rapture for the lonely Can I get a witness Bless this day sacred and holy Sacred and Holy
I've been having dreams and visions In them you are always standing Right beside me I reach out for your hand To see your arms extending Outstretched towards me
With you I am revealed All my shame all my faults and virtues Behold body mind and spirit Heart and soul devoted all to you
Can I get a witness Bless this day sacred and holy Sacred and Holy
There would be psalms sung by a choir I would have a white robe a halo newly acquired I'd be at peace and I'd have no desire If I'd lived right There would be cherubs with tiny harps arrows and bows I'd have a halo and a flowing white robe I'd be enfolded by a celestial light If I'd lived right But I'm feeling hot and bothered under the collar I feel the sweat breaking out on my brow I feel the heat and I know it's the passion The love I can't disavow If this is a dream wake me up now If this is a movie let's edit these scenes out It would be a PG instead of an X-rated life If I'd lived right Some would call me a cheat call me a liar Say that I've been defeated by the basest desired Yes I have strayed and succumbed to my vices But I tried to live right But I have no regrets no guilt in my heart I only feel sadness for any pain that I've caused I guess I wouldn't bother to worry at all If I'd lived right Do you live by the book do you play by the rules? Do you care what is thought by others about you? If this day is all that is promised to you Do you life for the future the present the past? If there is one thing I know I know I will die If anyone cares some stranger my critique my life I may be revered or defamed and decried But I tried to live right
There would be psalms sung by a choir I would have a white robe a halo newly acquired I'd be at peace and I'd have no desire If I'd lived right
Good times and bad Seen them both Hope fly out the window Fortune walk through the door Learned not to believe This is as good as it gets Because we ain't seen nothing yet
Hands untied But the same shuffle once again Running all the time Ain't going nowhere It's a new page in the same book It's a new game with the same rules The lights go down Fade to black on the set And we ain't seen nothing yet
Saddled with bonds Broken and in disrepair Forty acres to a forty-ounce Don't seem fair The sirens rise and wail Shadowed by Liberty's torch As the boats that brought us over Are slowly sinking off the shore And we ain't seen nothing yet
This life a crime A blessing and a curse Chosen and unwanted Displaced and usurped I'd run away But there is nowhere to go So I'll stand and fight And hope and pray That the best is yet to come And we ain't seen nothing yet
Touched the mirror Broke the surface of the water Saw my true self All illusions shattered Money's only paper only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece
Sat down up close to the colored black hole Like they'd always told me not to Saw the one dimension polka dot pacifier And all illusions shattered Money's only paper only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece
Bared myself wholly heart and body unadorned Stripped down solely To the evil and the good Felt no shame Naked to the world And all illusions shattered Money's only paper only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece Faced towards the sea Looked to heaven up above Felt the world revolve around me No one could tell me otherwise But the turbulent waters won't reflect this life Only the sun the moon and sky And all illusions shattered
Money's only paper only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece
If I am right If I can be Constant and faithful You'll find me In my devotion In my devotion What if you find a fault Between my purpose and my deeds And deem me beyond salvation Judge me to be unworthy Of your devotion Of your devotion If this be obsession deliver me A passing infatuation deliver me A feeling lacking in purity deliver me A test of fidelity deliver me Deliver me Deliver me What if I should find You're no good for me What if I can't be strong enough What if I can't break free Of my devotion Of my devotion
She was the only one Of my flesh and blood Now I have no calling I can do no worldly good
I sit silent I sit mourning I sit listless all the day I've mostly lost the voice to speak And any words to say except Does heaven have enough angels yet?
I've gone hard And I've gone cold I can't make the piece of this cracked life fit Please forgive me for wanting to know Does heaven have enough angels yet?
She was the only one Of my own flesh and blood Sometimes I hear her calling Straight from the house of god
Can't run fast enough Can't hide I can't fly I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life
Just a, just a, just a first try
Can't hear what you say Can't see by the light I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life
Just a, just a, just a first try
Can't say what I mean Can't love from the heart Can't trust in the mercy and the goodness in the world Can't learn to accept that it's alright To struggle with the limits of this ordinary life
Can't be just a, just a, just a first try Just a, just a, just a first try
You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car And I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working I say his body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs You got a fast car And I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way
Across the lines Who would dare to go Under the bridge Over the tracks That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides run for your lifes Tonight the riots begin On the back streets of america They kill the dream of america
Little black girl gets assaulted Ain’t no reason why Newspaper prints the story And racist tempers fly Next day it starts a riot Knives and guns are drawn Two black boys get killed One white boy goes blind
Across the lines Who would dare to go Under the bridge Over the tracks That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides run for your lifes Tonight the riots begin On the back streets of america They kill the dream of america
Little black girl gets assaulted Don’t no one know her name Lots of people hurt and angry She’s the one to blame
Across the lines Who would dare to go Under the bridge Over the tracks That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides run for your lifes Tonight the riots begin On the back streets of america They kill the dream of america
Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police Always come late hey If they come at all
Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police Always come late hey If they come at all
And when they arrive They say they can't interfere With domestic affairs Between a man and his wife And as they walk out the door The tears well up in her eyes
Last night I heard the screaming Then a silence that chilled my soul Prayed that I was dreaming When I saw the ambulance in the road
And the policeman said 'I'm here to keep the peace Will the crowd disperse I think we all could use some sleep'
Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police Always come late hey If they come at all
Sorry, is all that you can say. Years gone by and still, words don't come easily. Like sorry, like sorry forgive me, is all that you can say. years gone by and still, words don't come easily like forgive me, like forgive me
but you can say, baby, baby can i hold you tonight baby if I told you the right words. woo~ at the right time, u'd be mine.
i love you. is all that you can say. Years gone by and still. words don't come easily like i love you, i love you.
but you can say baby, baby can i hold you tonight baby if i told you the right words, woo~ at the right time, u'd be mine. baby, can i hold you tonight. baby if i told you the right words at the right time, u'd be mine. u'd be mine.
The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a live of ease And mountains Oh mountains o' things
To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground And have a maid that I can tell To bring me anything Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed I'll revel in their attention And mountains Oh mountains o' things
Sweet lazy life Champagne and caviar I hope you'll come and find me Cause you know who we are Those who deserve the best in life And know what money's worth And those whose sole misfortune Was having mountains o' nothing at birth
Oh they tell me There's still time to save my soul They tell me Renounce all Renounce all those material things you gained by Exploiting other human beings
Consume more than you need This is the dream Make you pauper Or make you queen I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged A grave that's deep and wide enough For me and all my mountains o' things
Mostly I feel lonely Good good people are Good people are only My stepping stones It's gonna take all my mountains o' things To surround me Keep all my enemies away Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a live of ease And mountains Oh mountains o' things
She's got her ticket I think she gonna use it I think she going to fly away No one should try and stop her Persuade her with their power She says that her mind is made Up
Why not leave why not Go away Too much hatred Corruption and greed Give your life And invariably they leave you with Nothing
Young girl ain't got no chances No roots to keep her strong She's shed all pretenses That someday she'll belong Some folks call her a runaway A failure in the race But she knows where her ticket takes her She will find her place in the sun
Two weeks in a Virginia jail For my lover, for my lover Twenty thousand dollar bail For my lover, for my lover
And everybody thinks That I'm the fool But they don't get Any love from you
The things we won't do for love I'd climb a mountain if I had to Risk my life so I could have you You, you, you...
Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed For my lover, for my lover They dope me up and I tell them lies For my lover, for my lover
And everybody thinks That I'm the fool But they don't get Any love from you
The things we won't do for love I'd climb a mountain if I had to Risk my life so I could have you You, you, you...
I follow my heart And leave my head to ponder Deep in this love No man can shake I follow my heart And leave my mind to wonder Is this love worth The sacrifices I make?
Two weeks in a Virginia jail For my lover, for my lover Twenty thousand dollar bail For my lover, for my lover

트레이시 채프먼의 88년도 앨범 수록곡. 죽기 전에 들어야 할 1001가지 앨범으로 뽑혔네.중딩 고딩때 열심히 듣던 배철수의 음악캠프에서 들었던 곡인데오늘 뮤지스탤지아에 나왔다. 신청곡이었던 건가?출근을 해가지구 정신도 없고 방송을 듣다 말다 해서 잘은 모르겠다.초반 30분 듣고 일하느라 못 듣고 있다가 이어폰을 꽂았는데 딱...
