Theres a bar on my head Theres a cross for my bed Theres my heart in my hand Theres my stick in the sand

I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive I'm just out to find The better part of me I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane More than some pretty face beside a train It's not easy to be me Wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to lie About a home I'll never see It may sound absurd...but don't be nieve Even Heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed...but won't you concede Even Heroes have the right to dream It's not easy to be me Up, up and away...away from me It's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight I'm not crazy...or anything...

Bella played the bridge every second loneliest night of the year. Took a certain liking to a fellow there, Bella. She said I brought her back to some old better man, fella. Bella, she was born today feeling kinda spry.
Bella's birthday cake was burning, yeah Like lightning, oh, like fire Bella's birthday cake was burning

Do you believe in the path that you follow Do you believe it takes you where you want Do you believe in the lies that you swallow Do you believe it takes you where you go

I cut off the curls, I shaved half my face, Became half the man you asked to replace. I'm willing to save you, You said you're worth saving. But half of my appetite's lost half it's craving. Stand in the mirror, Well that's me beside you. The one with the smile, The one that abides you. Now don't mind the mad man, the killer, the lover. Well he's slowly fading one into the other.
And where is that white picket fence, That I painted myself, In the late days of April. Oh where are the daffodil mountains, I know that they're somewhere around here, By the garden....
You say that you're happy, Well you should know better. I can see that you've sewn up that rip in your sweater, That some lover tore off you. That left you both shaken. That bled deep inside you, the wound you'd forsaken.
And where is that white picket fence, That I painted myself, In the late days of April. Oh where are the daffodil mountains, I know that they're somewhere around here, By the garden....
Don't fear I will save you. Don't shout you'll awaken. The corpse in the desert, staked out beside you. I cut off his wing, And shaved half his face, but I thought that I saw his eyes -- move.
I sing above my vision. I sing above my face. A fat old amphibian speaker for the dead. Gather round ye animals. Gather round this lake. Take upon your vigil. Wallow in the wake.
It was glorious of glories-a maple April day With a pocket full of horseflies and eyes as bright as rays They said walk away walk away if you can but one leap out the village and our caravan began
Traveled to a forest, nestled in the sky. He ran beside the buffalo-wrestled with the lions Every day a saturday, a summer waking morn, His skin burned golden ember due the shine that toad had born.
While riding back an eagle, laughing with the sun He spied an old hairy fairy man upon the river Young. and Sol said, fly away fly away if you can But he settled next the oarsman, said I'm my own man and this is my life...
Heed above my meter, Heed above my fate. Can't go back again... I got a reason to be fevered-summer waking morn. Back back when the poor poor boy was born.
Now cross into his fortune. While enchanted by the queen. A lone shady shelter stood beckoning his lean. And in the time it takes a pillow to figure out a face. Out from in the white tree she rose to take its place.
And the battle for his spirit then caused him to remain. And he fought as a thousand Visigoths and he cursed the night in vain. She said run away run away if you can But last he heard a voice of...I'm my own man and this is my life...
Off to in her castle, laid upon the stairs She showered him with daffodils and tied ribbons in his hair. He woke for bare a moment but she wouldn't let him weep. With lips of only roses kissed him down to sleep.
So royal loyal subjects now let your ears unbend. For here ye this traveled tail must sadly meet it's end. What's fate done to our hero I cannot reply... The last that I saw him, a flection in her eye.
How have you been in the shape you were in I'm suprised that you got where you're going
Who would believe What a date you would be If I knew I'd have thought about knowing
And in between now and the last time we met I'd open the door if I met you again And I swear that we'd be better/fair ever friends From here until 10 miles from nowhere
What is that there In your brown paper box I can see that you kept all the memories we'd lost
I'd sworn it was you Who was destined and gone To the pressure of past undertakings
Had I had known that it might have been me I might have returned a letter or three Or gave you a call from the sanctuary
for the cracks in these walls tell time for a fee
From here until 10... From now until 10...miles from nowhere
Mr. Merry cries in his coffin For days he says he can remember And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs Of a beautiful purple mountain From every walk of life we've come to see the Last Great American
May I now present you the speaker, ”Friends he was a man of men, a man of gold… He had a how do you say, ethical like sense” That's when the President started to giggle And the children gave the blessing Though the service weren't half done Each of them sued the other one For the Last great American ..
Merry reaches up, we bow our heads He pulls the lid on down and his stone is read
Here lies our Merry The man with the heart so spent That in this day and age Is sick of living
And judges argue letters Fabric comes undone For every daughter every son Of the Last great American…
For every daughter every son Of the Last great American…
You were wrong, you were right And you are gone tonight You were free so alive You were wrong, you were right
And you were down, you could see You wore hearts for me And you were sharp, sharp as knives You were wrong, you were right
Shot down Said you never had the chance Took a ride on a suicide romance Could have sworn there was somebody home to facilitate the great unknown
But woman I ain't going to meet you anywhere Don't know where I'm going, yeah But I sure am getting there
Shotgun fire anybody home I got two dimes in the telephone Alright, no, it's not easy tonight (2x)
You were bound, you were free And you wear black for me You were dark, as dark as night You were wrong, you were right
Shot down Said you never had the chance Took a ride on a suicide romance Could have sworn there was somebody home to facilitate the great unknown
But woman I ain't going to meet you anywhere Don't know where I'm going, yeah I'm going, yeah But I sure am getting there
Shotgun fire anybody home I got two dimes in the telephone Alright, no, it's not easy tonight (2x)
She's in over my head And it's not easy It's not easy tonight (2x)
Shotgun fire anybody home I got two dimes in the telephone Alright, no, it's not easy tonight (2x)
그건 옳지 않아, 그래 네가 맞아 넌 오늘 밤 떠나고 자유를 한껏 맛보았지 그건 옳지 않아, 그래 네가 맞아
우울해 하는 넌 앞을 볼 수 있었고 날 위한 따스한 마음도 갖고 있었어 넌 칼날처럼 날카롭기 그지 없었지 그건 옳지 않아, 그래 네가 맞아
당신에겐 절대 기회가 오지 않는다며 방아쇠를 당겨 자살을 기도하려 했어 맹세컨대 미지의 세상을 깨우쳐 줄 그 누군가가 분명히 있었어
하지만 난 당신을 그 어디에서도 만나지 못할 거야 내가 어디를 향하는지도 모르겠지만 그 곳에 다가서고 있다는 건 확실해
누구나 총으로 안식을 찾을 수 있지 공중전화에는 20센트밖에 남지 않았어 그래, 오늘 밤은 너무 힘들어
꼼짝할 수 없는, 자유로운 당신 날 위해 검게 차려 입은 당신 칠흑 같은 밤처럼 어두운 당신 그건 옳지 않아, 그래 당신이 옳아
당신에겐 절대 기회가 오지 않는다며 방아쇠를 당겨 자살을 기도하려 했어 맹세컨대 미지의 세상을 깨우쳐 줄 그 누군가가 분명히 있었어
하지만 난 당신을 그 어디에서도 만나지 못할 거야 내가 어디를 향하는지도 모르겠어 어딜 가고 있는지도 모르지만 그 곳에 다가서고 있다는 건 확실해
누구나 총으로 안식을 찾을 수 있지 공중전화에는 20센트밖에 남지 않았어 그래, 오늘 밤은 너무 힘들어
머리 속에 아른거리는 그녀 때문에 편치가 않아 오늘 밤은 너무 힘들어
누구나 총으로 안식을 찾을 수 있지 공중전화에는 20센트밖에 남지 않았어 그래, 오늘 밤은 너무 힘들어
기타와 피아노 연주에도 능한 LA 출신의 싱어송라이터 John Ondrasik이 이끄는 Five For Fighting은 하키 경기의 벌칙에서 이름을 따온 밴드입니다. 수록곡 대부분이 어쿠스틱 성향의 잔잔한 팝락이라서 듣기에도 무리가 없고 국내취향에 쉽게 어울릴 만한 사운드네요.
1997년에 데뷔앨범을 선보이고 3년이 지난 2000년에 발표한 두 번째 앨범에서 'Superman'과 함께 차트에서 좋은 성적을 얻은 이 곡은
I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive I'm just out to find The better part of me I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane More than some pretty fast beside a train It's not easy to be me Wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to lie About a home I'd never see It may sound absurd...but don't be naive Even heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed...but won't you conceed Even heroes have the right to dream It's not easy to be me Up, up and away...away from me It's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight I'm not crazy...or anything... I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive Men weren't meant to ride With clouds between their knees I'm only a man in a silly red sheet Digging for kryptonite on this one way street Only a man in a funny red sheet Looking for special things inside of me (inside of me~~~ inside of me~ yeah inside of me~~ inside~~~ of me) I'm only a man in a funny red sheet I'm only a man looking for a dream Only a man in a funny red sheet it's not easy It's not easy to be me.
