unknown

Well, here you are, the final attraction
Awaiting direction
>from somewhere above
Your finest performance
Approaching perfection
I know what you're making
It's some kind of love

Somewhere in your lifetime
You were dared into feeling
So many emotions that tear you apart
But they loved you so badly
For sharin' their sorrow
So pick up that guitar
And go break a heart

You can do it one more time, son, we're with ya
Pick up that guitar
Go break a heart
You can do it this time just for hank williams, can't ya?
Go break a heart
Maybe one time for otis redding
Go break a heart
And one time for janis joplin
Yeah, that's right. go break a heart
O.k. yeah, one more time for james dean
Go break a heart
God bless george jones
Go break a heart
And maybe one time for me
Go break a heart

Maybe you bought all the lines that she told you
Maybe they tore you apart
Maybe she shrugged off your finest emotions
Carelessly walked on your heart
Life ain't for sissies and you ain't no sissy, boy
And only the strongest survive
Bad love is better than no love at all
At least you know you're alive.

Chorus:
And just thank god you still got your feelings
And you're free to be easy and warm
But from here to the end is what matters, my friend
And you're right at the peak of your form
Still in the eye of the storm

Maybe you tried somethin' too hard to handle
And maybe you took you a fall
Is it true that if not for the pain that you're feelin'
It wouldn't have mattered at all?
(tell the truth)
All there is left between living and dying
Is loving or leaving alone
You can take it or leave it, but make up your mind
Or fall on your ass on your own

Chorus:
And just thank god you still got your feelings
And you're free to be easy and warm
'cause from here to the end is what matters, my friend
And you're right at the peak of your form
Still in the eye of the storm.

Hey, take it and run, child
I'll ask you no questions
We traded our fortunes
Crossing the border

I hope you got lucky
You needed a change
I--i made it without you
Crossing the border

We were like a couple of wetbacks running
Standin' on the banks of some dangerous river
Lookin' into a brave new country
Risky business
Crossing the border

Ahhh, you--you doubled my chances
I--i sure do want your freedom
I--i'll never forget you
Crossing the border
Back when we were out there
Crossing the border
Layin' it on the line
Crossing the border

(na na na na na na na....)

There's a song i'd like to sing
Do you know the song i mean?
It don't always sound the same
But it's always good to sing.

Maybe it don't mean a thing
It's a pretty little tune.
It's a song i'd like to sing
And i'd love to sing with you.

And we can get to know each other
Like a sister and a brother
Like a father and a mother
Like a woman and a man

We can sing along together
Just enyoying 'til it's over
It don't need to last forever
If we want it to it can.

(muppets: na na na na na na na....)

This could be our last good night together
We may never pass this way again.
Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over, or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday these may be all we remember of each other
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

Never's just the echo of forever
Lonesome as a love that might have been.
Let me go on lovin' and believin' 'til it's over
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

The scene was a small roadside cafe
The waitress was sweepin' the floor
Two truck-drivers drinkin' their coffee
And two okie-kids by the door

How much are them candies, they asked her
How much have you got, she replied
We've only a penny between us
Them's two for a penny, she lied

Chorus:
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
And the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain't it just like a human
Here comes that rainbow again

One truckdriver called to the waitress
After the kids went outside
Them candies ain't two for a penny
So what's it to you, she replied
In silence they finished their coffee
Got up and nodded godbye
She called, hey, you left too much money
So what's it to you, they replied

Chorus:
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
And the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain't it just like a human
Here comes that rainbow again

You ask me if i'm happy now
That's good as any joke i've heard
It seems that since i've seen you last
I done forgot the meaning of the words
If happiness is empty rooms
And drinkin' in the afternoon
Well i suppose i'm happy as a clam
But if it's got a thing to do
With smilin' of forgettin' you
Well i don't guess that i could say i am


Chorus:
Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
Because he's never seen a single dream come true
That's the way that i've been feelin' since the day i started falling
>from the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

You wonder if i'm better off
With freedom now to do the things i choose
With all my times my own and
I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose
There's no one here to carry on
If i stay out the whole night long
Or give a tankerous damn if i don't call
I'm livin' like i wanted to
And doin' things i wanna do
And nothin' means a thing to me at all


Chorus:
Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds soaked the paper
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
Because he's never seen a single dream come true
That's the way that i've been feelin' since the day i started falling
>from the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

Perfect strangers sitting down face to face
Like we've never met before
Nothing's left between us
But the space between us
Love don't live here anymore

Faded photographs; dusty dreams
Lyin' scattered on the floor
Nothing's here to bind us
To the years behind us
Love don't live here anymore

Never sharin' nothin'
We don't care
I got nothin' close to nothin' you'd care to hear

Nail the shutters down; pull the shades
Hang a sign upon the door
There's no use pretending
There's no happy ending
Love don't live here anymore.
