It's an egg hunt for dates
on new roller-skates While grooms and their brides Take horse-drawn rides Unless you've seen it you cannot believe it It's so, so bizarre Boys gone bad with their absentee dads who live with their pets cuz they're hedgin' their bets Unless you're seen it you cannot believe it It's so, so bizarre How can it be, that it's only me How can it be, that it's only me It's a well-known song and he's singin' it wrong But the crowd's on the bong So they all clap along Unless you've seen it you cannot believe it It's so , so bizarre It's a summertime vibe and the park is alive and the actors arrive to be led on their lines Unless you're seen it you cannot believe it It's so, so bizarre How can it be, that it's only me How can it be, that it's only me That sees the strange The strange, the strange, so strange |

I can still see the change
In the falling rain How come we can't do the same How come I see the angry scar But the wound is tame How come we can't do the same How come I hear the radio play a song 'bout change How come we don't feel the same How come I hear the church bells laugh It's a wedding day How come we don't feel that way How come When the clouds step aside (I don't want to be you) The sun lets them live (you don't want to be me) How come we can't forgive (neither one should be) How come When the clouds step aside (I don't want to be here) The sun lets them live (you don't want to be here) How come we can't forgive (there is nobody here) How come (there is nobody here) How come |

I've never see the sky like that I can't believe that it could do that I closed my eyes before the sun could set I slept and waited for my, waited for my... I waited for my dreams to land I waited for my dreams to touch down I waited patiently to hear the sound I waited for the song to get me out, to get me out of And I was up above Watching myself crashing down Yes I was up above Watching myself crashing down I've never seen so many lights I've never heard so many voices No one will tell me how I ended here No one will tell me where, oh tell me where, oh tell me where I am Where I am And I was up above Watching myself crashing down Yes I was up above Watching myself crashing down Watching myself crashing down Yes I was up above Watching myself crashing down Then I was up above Watching myself crashing down Watching myself crashing down

Give me one good reason
That i should care Give me one good reason And i'll be there Like a thief you've stolen Like rain on a grave Like a priest who's spoken But failed to save Now the air is empty And the ground the same Love has gone to be buried Beside my name Give me one good reason That i should care Give me one good reason And i'll be there Why couldn't you have told me About your liar's kiss I can't believe you'd leave me At a time like this And the wind is howling And it's a dying dream And my faith is silent While my doubts scream Give me one good reason That i should care Give me one good reason And i'll be there Give me one good reason Give me one good reason Give me one good reason That i should care Give me one good reason Give me one good reason Give me one good reason That i should care Give me one good reason Give me one good reason Give me one good reason That i should care |

Promises made they were lost
Somewhere beside you Waiting around can leave some Feeling like i do Promises made and we stayed Dreaming of leaving We will find good days for us The sun will shine brightly Live our life if only for just A moment The goodbyes are gone but the echoes remain To remind you Oh we could belong to the lucky ones If we just tried to Promises made where we laid Our days of believing We will find good days for us The sun will shine brightly Live our life if only for just A moment It's okay to cry for a moment When promises shatter But don't waste your tears for too long Because soon it won't matter Promises made they were lost But don't bother grieving We will find good days for us The sun will shine brightly Live our life if only for just A moment |

You say what you say
And you pray that one day You'll be seen between the shadows Now that's a waist of your pain Living your life like a saint When it don't...no It don't even matter Even saints make their mistakes Letting their dreams fall and break All it feels like Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down Now i want you to see How good life can be You can turn around And better your life With the good times found People will always take the long way around Before you know it you'll be lost and found Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down People will always take the long way around People will always take the long way around Before you know it you'll be lost and found Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down People will always take the long way around I'm not afraid of pride When it's for the right side Don't betray what i believe in Stand where you want to stand And i'll believe when i can 'cause i'm telling you now I been where you're living in People will always take the long way around Before you know it you'll be lost and found Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down People will always take the long way around People will always take the long way around Before you know it you'll be lost and found Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down People will always take the long way around Will tomorrow keep it's promise No one here can say The past is all behind us And all we have is today And all we have is today People will always take the long way around Before you know it you'll be lost and found Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down People will always take the long way around People will always take the long way around Before you know it you'll be lost and found Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down People will always take the long way around |

He's going back to georgia
Because he knows time and time has come Don't even know if shell be waiting Because he's been gone for way too long How long will you stay Boy you don't got nine lives to waste How long will you stay Saving time losing grace She believed every word he told her About the troubles and how they start She didn't listen to the laughter She only listened to her heart How long will you stay Boy you don't got nine lives to waste How long will you stay Saving time losing grace She didn't believe She didn't believe She didn't believe She didn't believe He made a promise to no one That he could right a wrong He wanted to do something just But he was just gone How long will you stay Boy you don't got nine lives to waste How long will you stay Saving time losing grace She didn't believe She didn't believe She didn't believe believe believe She didn't believe what they told her about her lover Nothing left bet her tears and theirs were laughter Forever after |

If you start here late, no one will know what you did
No, the streets are straight, it's the soul that's crooked I've been treated fine, I've been treated elegantly But I'm not one for bathing in the waters of plenty East is East, West is West And The Bowery is screaming while Delancey rests Well, I'm south of the skating, but I'm north of the cash I could sure use the money but I'm ashamed to ask The traffic has buried all of last night's rain The words are all different but the accent is the same The sun is white, and the moon is gray And the river is black, blue and green The young are young, and the old are old There are no shades of gray in between There's at least ten different strains of smoke in the air And my prints are on them all, to prove I was there And I love the curses, but I'm not one for the trenches Yes I do love the walking , but that God for the benches It's hard to tell where green begins, and the city gray stops I guess the trees all bought their armor at second hand shops My second hand is working, but the minute hand broke again I know time will pass, but I don't know when The sun is white, and the moon is gray And the river is black, blue and green The young are young, and the old are old And there are no shades of gray in between And there are no shades of gray in between I know the great ones have been here, but where I can't tell There's dreams here a plenty, but they're being witheld And I'm more impressed with the closed doors Than the ones that are open The whole place tells time by a tower clock that's broken The pigeons are ravens, and the gulls are vultures And trash |
