unknown

Listen to my bluebird sing. she can tell you why. deep within her heart you see. she knows i must cry. yeah, cry. here she sits aloft that bird. strangest color blue. flying is forgotten now. sh
T thinks of you. yeah, you. so with all those blues. must be a thousand used. each was differently used. you just know. you sit there mesmerized. by the depth of her eyes. can't be categorized. she got soul. she got soul. she got soul. she got soul. do u think she loves you. do u think. at all. soon she's going to fly away. worries of her own. find herself another day. and go home. go home.

Keep searchin' for someone to tell me the truth
It seems like the longer i wait
Hesitate, it comes down to you
Time won't heal
Love ain't real anymore

Halfway to daylight
And my heart is open wide
It seems like the time that we shared
When we cared
It has passed us by
Life ain't fair, when i stare
At this picture of you
I feel the touch of your hand
And the look in your eyes
Oh! don't ya know i feel just like dying
When the tears start to fall
And my heart turns to stone
I'm tellin' you baby
I never walk alone

Life ain't fair, when i stare
At this picture of you
I still feel the touch of your hand
And the look in your eyes
Oh! lord i feel like dying
Cause when the tears start to fall
And my heart turns to stone
I never walk alone

It's easy to believe some people don't care. believe a gift is to be given but never shared. when your clothes are stripped you got what you got. when you drive your car to heaven there ain't no
Ing lot. another builded up, another undone. like every day dawn becomes another setting sun. i still believe you came to see. bet you thought i'd comprehend. you wish for me, you wish to be. but i'm a hero who can't pretend. i should have riches after all that i've been through. should have some peace of mind, i should shave somebody new. a silver locket or a painting just for you. but all i got's a big old bag of tales. i tell the stories, i write by my hand. the things i've felt another could never understand. better to have lived and loved than never because. it's not the things it could have been, it's that that never was. i should have riches after all that i've been through. should have some peace of mind, i should have somebody new. a silver locket or a painting just for you. but all i got's a big old bag
Of tales.

We were told how the story should go
Strangers in time fighting ancient foes
And that only the way we perceive it
Has changed, it still remains
Somehow it's always right against wrong
Always the chance of temptation
But it's never as simple as black or white
Day or night

Ever searching for secrets of life
Missing the moments of being alive
But most important things can't be told
They're in your soul
Put away all your worry and pain
Destiny doesn't change things
When you find out what you really need
How will you know
How will i know

Well we all need a hero
Of mythical size
To explain what we can't understand
And we all need a hero
To sacrifice his soul
Where's the hero
With a thousand eyes
With another foolproof plan
You only can see through
The strange disguise
Any maybe find yourself
Deep inside this living hell
That knows you oh so well, knows you so well

Now we won't need a hero
With a thousand eyes
To explain what we can't understand
We won't need a hero
To sacrifice his soul
Who's the hero
With a thousand eyes
With another useless plan
Now we see through
The strange disguise
So you can find yourself
Deep inside this living hell
That knows you oh so well
Knows you so well.

I've seen that look
A look i know well
I can't decide
If this is heaven or this is hell
Inside your mind
That twisted device
Made up of fire
But it comes across like ice

I need to know what you're thinkin'
And why you are here
If you had power
Who would make you disappear

Laughing without smiling
I can't take no more
Dancin' in the madness
With the rope you twist that's around my neck
You know you're making me feel
Like a cancelled check

Chorus:

I said hey, you
I'm steppin' on top of your world
(i'm steppin' on top)
(i'm steppin' on top)
Hey you
I'm steppin' on top of your world

Warped by the curse
You're puttin' on me
I lay awake at night
And revenge is all i see
Time's runnin' out
But what should i do
It seems like the worst
Just ain't good enough for you
There's talkin', there's doin'
There's writing
Of things you don't know
The story's the same
But the answer is always unknown

Trying to remember
What i've done to you
You don't even know me
With the rope that you twist
That's around my neck
You know you're making me feel
Like a cancelled check

(repeat chorus 2x)
(solo)
(chorus and fade)

Mysterious ways

I must have aged 20 years in the last seven days
Livin on emotion disbelief and rage
I found out the hard way life is what you make
Sometimes you gotta learn to give yourself a break

You can go where you want to go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all if you just believe

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancin to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways

Accidents can happen and they always do
It only takes a twist of fate to turn on you
I was in the wrong place at just right time
I thought she was a lover not a friend of mine

You can do what you wanna do
You can screw who you want to screw
In the end it's the fantasy
Not reality that will set you free

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancin to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways.

And once it's inside of me
It's like a symphony
You're on a cloud and can't come down
It's like a dream then you come around

You can go where you want to go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all if you just believe

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancin to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways

Does it matter if it works out as planned. when the author is the pen in your hand. when your mind does what you don't understand. remember that a sentiment changes every day. as every sun leave
Dows, arrows pointing every way. hey, look around, this is you. don't you worry 'cos it's fine to be confused. when you're questioning your fate. in time, you will see. all that makes you who you are, will become so clear to you. and don't you love the things you hate. life will give its gift if we don't hesitate. some see the paper, then throw the present away. if you feel you're dying and the clock just makes you wait. time may find us in tomorrow looking for today. hey look around, this is you. don't you worry 'cos it's fine to be confused. when you're questioning your fate. in time, you will see. all that makes you who you are, will become so clear to you. you should love the things you hate.

Cruisin' down the street
Got the glaze in my eyes
Lookin' for a thousand reasons why
I don't want to be here
I don't want to die
What was i thinking we should have known
All the lights are one
But there's nobody home

Drive a crooked road

Stop inside a liquor store
Just to grab a taste
Man behind the counter
Don't recognize my face
Give me all your money
Got not time to waste
What was i thinking
We should have known
All the lights are one
But there's nobody home

Chorus:
Drive a crooked road
Drive a crooked road
Satisfy your soul
Drive a crooked road

I just ran out of time
I just ran out of luck
I've never been busted
And this ain't even my truck
Everybody's laughin'
Nobody cares
It seems like there's red
Flashin' lights everywhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sittin' in the darkness
I'm staring at the bars
Couldn't drive too fast
I couldn't drive too far
I could have been somebody
I could have been a star
Should have stayed at home
Should have stayed in bed
Thought i heard this crazy
Screaming, screaming in my head, said

(chorus)

What was i thinking
We should have known
All the lights are one
But there's nobody home

(chorus)

I stand at the window
Looking out, looking out at the grey
After getting up and reading the paper today
Sometimes i just want to crawl back in bed
Pull the covers over my eyes
This world is so full of trouble
All the war planes in the sky

Chorus:
And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
And it looks like rain
Don't it make you wonder

Killers make the front page
Good deeds go unnoticed
Seems like, like there's no change
No matter what the vote is
It used to be we were
All looking out for everybody else
But now it seems the only law is
Every man for himself

(chorus)

And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
It looks like rain
Don't it make you

And it looks like rain
Falling down my eyes
It looks like rain
Don't you wonder why

I hear, hear it pounding
In the courtrooms and halls
I hear, hear it sounding
Through these paper-thin walls
I can hear people lying under oath
Lovers breaking their vows
I don't want to give up hope
Is it too late now

Chorus:

And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
It looks like rain
Don't it make you

And it looks like rain
Falling down my eyes
It looks like rain
Don't you wonder why

And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
It looks like rain
Don't it make you

It looks like rain

(repeat chorus and fade)

I feel a change coming over me
It seems i felt this way before
I sense the sound your eyes won't let you see
I can't take it anymore

Crashing windows, crash
Laughing voices, keep on laughing,
Oh, oh, oh
Stop for a minute

Chorus:
I chase the shadows and light
To a palce no one knows
I hear the screams of the wind
And i know it's the
Darkest night of the year

Can't tell the dreams from reality
My fears are one and the same
So who made me part of destiny
Who made me part of their game
Can't you feel it hurt
Too much pain to endure
Stop for a minute

(chorus)

Cold wind on my skin
Is the pain that i feel when you're near
It's a midnight street
Where we'll meet
And we'll run from the
Darkest night of the year

Crashing windows, crash
Laughing voices, keep on laughing,
Oh, oh, oh
Stop for a minute

(chorus)

Of rags and bones. rusty old wheels on a cobblestone street. everything i own. follows me round like a ghost that won't leave me alone. even sticks and stones. can't leave a mark on this spirit
Eel. have you really grown. when you come back bleeding from your love torn battles. wish i could feel bad for you. or sympathize after all i've been through. i'm not as strong as i seem. while your heart is beating. i've got this broken machine. those days have gone. took so long just to pick myself up, and try to walk alone. no more afraid to let the sun stare at my face. see what you have done. nuts, bolts and parts of dark days of broken dreams. take so long to replace. as for your falling apart at the seams. wish i could feel bad for you. or sympathize after all i've been through. how come you're not as you seem. you've got your problems. your self-esteem. wish i could feel bad for you. or feel anything after all i've been through. i'm not as strong as i seem. while your heart is beating. i've got this broken
Machine.

This town has got me running scared
We're running out of time girl
Slogans painted everywhere
Messin' up my dream world

I'm trying to make it on my own
Find it all by myself
I can take the overflow,
Could've been me or you
Just like somebody else

I ain't going anywhere
Without you by my side girl
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

Chorus:
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will last forever

Breathing in this filthy air
Is tearing me in two girl
I hear the sirens every night
Like echoes in a cruel world

Nothing that i say or do
Seems to matter at all
Everyone is so confused that's why i had to call

Just hearing you across the line
Is good enough for me girl
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

Chorus:
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will go on forever

Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will last forever

(repeat chorus and fade)

Queen of hearts and sister vanity. took me by the hand to show me royalty. in this castle so many things to see. and all i could become, a knight wasted away. i said ooh ooh...it's not any thing
Did to me. it's not what you made me feel i did to you. i cry, angry that i played the fool. for these are the tears of my own shame. even just a page i never thought to read. and the writing on the wall became a tapestry. the blues i felt , the reds they blinded me. and all the greens only taught me jealousy. (repeat chorus) and i am not what i care to be. and she is not what i came to see. and like some shakespearean tragedy. that in the end i have to question...finally. (repeat chorus)

World of fear
Dying sun
Amber tears
Wars to be won
World grown old
Lost to man
All alone
All but forgotten
Same extinction blues
You've heard before the
Same old news
You and i
Last chance
Age of ice
Frozen romance
Time repeats
Death to life
Heartbeats
Save us tonight
Same extinction blues

It's great to be optimistic
And look at the world
Through rose colored eyes
Tell you what not to wish for
Mountains don't move
When you want them to
Same extinction blues
You've heard before
The same old news
Extinction blues

The first quiet breath of the day
Recalls the night
And as i reflect on the pain
Through tears gone dry
Am i as blind as i remind myself
Or did i depend on a dried up wishing well
Only till the end of time
Is through
I will keep
A burning torch for you

Born yesterday
Thought i knew enough
I've never felt this way
Born yesterday
Guess you're not so tough
All hearts don't break the same

Now everything seems to have
A smoother edge
But what really changed was
Suspicion in my head
Was i relieved at my naive display
Put to rest a question i never could explain
You could fool me for a hundred years
But now i won't be
Tortured by my fears

I wasn't born yesterday
Thought i knew enough
I've never felt this way
Born yesterday
Guess you're not so tough
All hearts don't break the same

I finally cut the cord
And all that went with it
And nothing is all i have to give
I didn't know
How good it could feel
Just to live
