A Life Of Saturdays

At the end of the day
And into the night
That's when i get my peace and quiet
I'm on a fast ride and i want to get off
Whatever i do, whatever i say
Is anyone listening anyway?
I'm falling deeper and deeper
And deeper down below

Ahh, oooohh, here i go again
Ahh, oooohh, help me understand

At the end of the day
And into the night
That's when the darkness gives me light
I can see clearly what is right in front of me
I'm falling and i'm calling out
No one can hear me shout
Or maybe i'm crazy and
I'm screaming in the wrong direction
Whatever i do, whatever i say
Is anyone listening anyway
I'm falling deeper and deeper
And deeper down below

Ahh, oooohh, here i go again
Ahh, oooohh, help me understand
Ahh, oooohh, here i go again
Ahh, oooohh, help me understand
I'm drowning, can't you see?

I'm on a train that's jumped its tracks
I'm not sure how i'm gonna get back
Somebody please help me off my knees
I'm asking, anybody please

Ahh, oooohh, here i go again
Ahh, oooohh, help me understand
Ahh, oooohh, here i go again
Ahh, oooohh, help me understand

You're the one they want so give them want they need
A temporary touch
Feeling so ashamed, don't want to take the blame
Thinking it's too much

So now you've had a taste of what it's like to be
Sitting in the spotlight or would you rather be
In someone else's shoes not knowing who you are

But it's not the end of the world quite yet
And all of these things will get better i bet

Who do you believe now that you're in the spotlight
What do you choose to do
You come in through the side door people always want more
What are you gonna to do

Cause you're the one they want so keep 'em to their knees
Keep them asking please
They're eating from your hands you make them understand
What it's like to bleed

So now you've had a taste of what it's like to be
Sitting in the spotlight or would you rather be
Iin someone else's shoes not knowing who you are

But it's not the end of the world quite yet
And all of these things will get better i bet

Who do you believe now that you're in the spotlight
What do you choose to do
You come in through the side door people always want more
What are you gonna to do

To all that came before me
To all that left their mark
To all that tried and failed so
To all that now are gone
I see myself in your words
I see you in my smile
Your wisdom's like a lighthouse
That guides me when i'm lost...

I find myself at this crossroad, broken dreams
And i don't know what tomorrow might bring

I'm like a ball of clay
That you molded with your hands
Raised me without shadows
And baptized me in the light
To those that came before me
I know i'll see you soon
And like a distant star in the night
I'm reaching out for you...

I find myself at this crossroad, broken dreams
And i don't know what tomorrow might bring

I don't ever want to wake up
I don't ever want to shut my eyes again
She's like a fantasy i've made up
But she's real, she's the best i'll ever get

I just need to stay inside her
She just wants to save my soul, my soul

She's the leader of her own world order
She's a legend in my own mind
She's the goddess of her own religion
My madonna, and i can't believe she's mine

When we talk it's like communion
When we walk it's like we're walking on air
There's just no rhyme, there's just no reason
Because of her i'm living without a care

I just need to stay beside here
She just wants to save my soul, my soul

She's the leader of her own world order
She's a legend in my own mind
She's the goddess of her own religion
My madonna, and i can't believe she's mine
Yeah, i can't believe she's mine
And i can't believe she's mine
And i can't believe she's mine

She's the leader of her own world order
She's a legend in my own mind
She's the goddess of her own religion
My madonna, and i can't believe she's mine

Oh, your reputation's so golden
You're never lonely and you're never home
I know you've been talking about leaving
You've lost all your feeling for this town
Paint your nails and put on your lipstick
You don't want to miss your ticket out
Just because you graduate from school so high in the gene pool, that's your point of view

But when you're broken down and no one else is around
You'll come running back to this town and i'll be there, yeah i'll be there

'cause i remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And daydreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town

Pack your bags, your smokes in your pocket
You're wearing my locket around your neck
Take a drag and wait for the grayhound
The world is your playground and you want to win
But when you're broken down and no one else is around
You'll come running back to this town and i'll be there, yeah i'll be there

'cause i remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And daydreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town

Nothing in life will ever come that easy
Doesn't mean it has to be that hard
I know you will find out who you are...
But when you're broken down and no one else is around
You'll come running back to this town and i'll be there, yeah i'll be there

'cause i remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And daydreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town

She smokes like there is no tomorrow
She says it makes her feel alive
She drinks her wine like it is water
Because she feels dry inside

She drives her car like it's a bullet
She says that time is slipping away
She never thinks about her future
It's a million miles away

She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade of pink, yeah

There will come a day when she will wake up
And then she'll wonder where she's been
All this time she will wish that she could make up
But it will be too late then

She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade of pink, yeah

She's falling down, falling down
Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
And screaming, yeah, yeah, yeah

She is falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade of pink, yeah
