Lucky

The sky is too high to paint tonight
The wind is too strong to hold on to
I climb on your roof and call out your name
Somebody stole my silver shoes

Now the show must go on, and on and on and on

(chorus)
Will you still love me anyway
Will you still need me when you're victorious
Will you still want me when I've nothing to say
Will you still love me anyway

I am in the big top on the live wire
Under the gun, over the fire
I'd swim up so high, like a swan I would dive
Someone took my net, and buried me alive

And the crowd screams for more

You tried to hold us down
You tried to hold us back
You tried to make us wrong
You tried to make us crack

You wanted to see us cry
You wanted to see us leave
You didn't count on the tide
You didn't count on the pride
You didn't count on me

I am a giant
And you will not make me fall
And you will not make me crawl
I am a giant
And I'm not alone
Winds of change have blown
And walls come tumbling down

And I learned from my mistakes
Pick myself up of the floor
I have learned just what it takes
Now I am stronger than before
And we are standing side by side
We are determined now to win
We come too far
And we've got the scares
And we are never going back into the shadows again

I am a giant
And you will not make me fall
And you will not make me crawl
I am a giant
And I'm not alone
Winds of change have blown
How the walls come tumbling down

I wanna see how lucky lucky can be, yeah

Ride with me

I saw you through my blind intoxication
My shock induced insane self-medication
You looked at me and smiled
Said get ready to get wild.
sugar you just need a brief vacation

(chorus)
I wanna see how lucky lucky can be
I wanna ride with my angel and live shockingly
I wanna drive to the edge and into the sea
I wanna see how lucky lucky can be

I was dried up I was starving I was mangled
I looked like hell, twisted up and tangled
You whispered in my ear
The ghosts are gone it's clear
For too long you've been tied up you've been strangled

(chorus)

I don't wanna ride on a shotgun side
Don't wanna be a quaint observer on this supersonic ride
Double down, split the aces, to the races
I feel lucky tonight

(chorus)

I wanna see just how lucky lucky can be
Ride with my angel how I love being free
Drive to the edge and into the sea
I wanna see how lucky lucky can be

Ride, ride with me, yeah.

I wanna see how lucky
Lucky can be
How lucky lucky can be

10:03 on a Tuesday morning
in the fall of an American dream
a man is doing what he knows is right
on flight 93

Loved his mom and he loved his dad
loved his home and he loved his man
but on that bloody Tuesday morning
he died and American

(chorus)
Now you cannot change this
You can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth

Even though he could not marry
Or teach your children in our schools
Because who he wants to love
Is breaking your God's rules

He stood up on a Tuesday Morning
In the terror he was brave
And he made his choice and without a doubt
A hundred lives he must have saved

(chorus)

And the things you might take for granted
Your inalienable rights
Some might choose to deny him
Even though he gave his life

Can you live with yourself in the land of the free
And make him less of a hero than the other three
Well it might begin to change ya
In a field in Pennsylvania

(chorus)

Stand up America
Hear the bell now as it tolls
Wake up America
It's Tuesday Morning
Let's roll

(chorus)

I

Well I was a slick midwestern gal
On a long hard road into southern cal
Didn't find any crime fillin' up all my time
I had the devil in my bones and an angel on my mind

and I drank up all the movies and I searched for happy endings
I turned love inside out till I was perfectly pretending
still I believed it could be true

that when you find the one
There's no question in the silence
All is said and done when you find the one
when you find the one

Yeah you could say that I was crazy I was that kinda girl
I had to open up a lot of oysters before I found myself a pearl
I had to kiss a lot of frogs to find my grass was green enough
had to be face down in the gutter to see what is and isn't love

Then I woke from all the dreaming to your taste and to your laughter
I cried till I was dry and now live my ever after
I believe I always knew

When you find the one
There's no question in the silence
All is said and done when you find the one
When you find the one

And when you make the choice to believe in your existence
with hello you will know when you find the one

I believe it could be true
yes I believe I always knew
and I believe it could be true
and believe i always knew

when you find the one
There's no question in the silence
All is said and done when you find the one

And when you make the choice to believe in your existence
with hello you will know when you find the one

with hello you will know

Keep your eyes down, keep your head lowered
Keep to your self dear, do not tell a soul
You know it's wrong what they've been sayin'
And you knew all along that I would have to go

Find the place where light shines on my reflection
A place where I can stand upon my own
Not down on my knees
Until then please

(chorus)
Meet me in the dark
Meet me in the shadows
Past the old graveyard
On Eisenhower road
Meet me where the storms
Blow out on their own dear
Meet me in the dark
Never let me go

I know everyone has their unspoken fear
That eats away their senses and their humanity
They carry all their secrets every night down to the river
And they try so hard to drown them
They wont do that to me

Cause I'm working hard saving all my money
And the tips in this jar will by a brand new set of wings
For my mercury
Until then please

(chorus)

I could never hide this little light of mine
If God made a mistake then I should die before I wake
Maybe it's my fate to swim against this tide
Swallowing my pride

Keep your eyes down; say that you don't know me
For I could not survive if they took you away

(chorus)

Smooth as cream She's every young boy's dream
She's like a hot rollercoaster on a video screen

She's off the hook
Take a look
Let your imagination cook
She don't play by the rules
She don't go by the book

All the boys wanna know
If she's got something to hide
All the girls are relieved
She's working for the other side
She's a sinner
A saint
She'll run it cool and hot
She's a secret agent
You can believe it or not

Killer eyes
And homicidal sighs

You can't resist it
To be twisted in her suicidal thighs
Confessional lips
Professional fingertips
It's a deception to perfection
Her exceptional hips

All the boys wanna know
If she's got something to hide
All the girls are relieved
She's working for the other side
She's a sinner
A saint
She'll run it cool and hot
She's a secret agent
You can believe it or not

Her disguise is specialized
And her code is confidential
It's her modus operandi
She's a threat
Makes you sweat
As she drags her cigarette
Man, what you see
Ain't always what you get

She'll make a grown man cry
She'll make a woman try
She'll make you wanna believe
And she will leave you high and dry
You got nowhere to run
got her phasers on stun
With her toys like the boys
She is second to none

Everybody wants to know
If she's got something to hide
All the girls are relieved
She's working for the other side
She's a sinner
A saint
She'll run it cool and hot
She's a secret agent
You can believe it or not
