You know that I don't always love you.
Like I want to.
There may come a day when you wake up.
When you wake and find me gone, later on.
Id be surprised if you do.
Long were the days when I was without you.
What did I do.
Hanging out with everybody on the second floor.
Smokin, jokin at the party ever wanting more.
And the night would go so slow.
There may come a day, when you wake up.
When you wake and find me gone, later on.
Id be surprised if you do.

Once we're together, naturally
When I'm not here, and you're not away from me
And we're finally home
I'm gonna kiss you, just like I did
That time the breeze slid through the open door
Then I know, I won't miss you anymore...

Like I do now
Like I do now
Like I do now

Taking the wait as long as I can
Too many days is too hard to stand
So I'm on my way
On an airplane, in the sky
In a taxi
On the Triborough Rail
Comin' in

I wonder if you're sleeping
I want to wake you up

The carpet looked like it would fly away
In the candle light as the music played, and you embraced
The taste was on his lips
Straight from the vine to his fingertips on your waist
Ooo lover my love.
Hidden dreams since you were a girl
The mystery of a hidden world revealed to you
You felt the rise of butterflies.
The look of kindness in his eyes appealed to you.
Ooo lover my love.
I had a fanstasy, and you made it true for me.
I had a fantasy and you made it true for me.
Before morning comes and the songbird sings through your window.
You'll be up and gone and he'll fall asleep on your pillow.
Ooo lover my love.
I had a fantasy, and you made it true for me.
I had a fantasy, and you made it true.

She was thirteen months when he was sent to jail.
Behind the bars of her crib and those of his cell.
They wait for her love to come to them.
But she couldn't come.
She was making a living.
This beautiful baby girl grew up so fast.
Called another man "daddy" till she learned of her past.
She waited a lifetime for him.
And one day he comes.
But until then she loved the invisible man.
She loved the invisible man.
He came back into her life when she was fifteen.
He took a bus on weekends.
And he took her to eat down at the driveway in a cadilac.
She told him "I love you".
He never said it back.
She loved the invisible man.
She loved the invisible man.
Under the stars and out in the morning sun.
There are the memories of abandoned love.
Under the stars and out...
And then nobody heard from him in more than a week.
And when they busted in through his door there was blood on the sheets.
They found his body in a field near town.
Somebody shot him and took him out.
Under the stars and out in the morning sun.
There are the memories of abandoned love.
Under stars and out in the morning sun.
There are the memories of...
The invisible man.
She loved the invisible man.
She loved the invisible man.

I ain't gonna kill myself loving you
I ain't gonna kill myself loving you
I ain't gonna break my own heart
I ain't gonna break my own heart
I ain't gonna kill myself wanting you
I ain't gonna kill myself wanting you
When you don't seem to want any part of my love
When you don't seem to want any part of my love
And I know I'll be fine just as soon as I let go
And I know I'll be fine just as soon as I let go
Yes I know I'll be alright as soon as I let go
Yes I know I'll be alright as soon as I let go
Get a strong case of weakness -- a rich worthless love
Get a strong case of weakness -- a rich worthless love
Tell you straight out that it's twisted
Tell you straight out that it's twisted
Crack flash of lightning struck from above
Crack flash of lightning struck from above
Knocked down a cow and I kissed ya
Knocked down a cow and I kissed ya
Oh, now, now I know I'll be fine just as soon as I let go
Oh, now, now I know I'll be fine just as soon as I let go
Yes I know I'll be alright as soon as I let go
Yes I know I'll be alright as soon as I let go
But I keep holding on for a future
But I keep holding on for a future
I keep waiting for something to change
I keep waiting for something to change
I keep holding on for a future
I keep holding on for a future
I keep looking for something that I never see
I keep looking for something that I never see
I ain't gonna kill myself loving you
I ain't gonna kill myself loving you
I ain't gonna die for a life together
I ain't gonna die for a life together
I ain't gonna kill myself wanting you
I ain't gonna kill myself wanting you
When you don't seem to want me oh my days go by
When you don't seem to want me oh my days go by

Sleep my little baby while you can.
Stay up all night and be tired.
Sleep my little angel like a lamb.
But unlike the sheep follow no man.
Tomorrow's your big day to show off your smile.
Smile. Smile for everyone.
You may fly to Paris in a dream.
Free in the sky like a real bird.
You may not accomplish anything.
If you don't sleep you'll be lazy - baby.
Tomorrow's your big day to show off your smile.
Smile. Smile for everyone.
Drift like a little boat on a wave.
Drift like a little boat on a wave.
Drift like a little boat on a wave.
Tomorrow's your big day to show off your smile.
Smile. Smile for everyone.
Sail through the sea of sad faces with love.
Love. Love for everyone.
Drift like a little boat on a wave.

I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Religion is the smile on a dog.
I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.
What I am is what I am.
Are you what you are - or what?
I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks.
Religion is a light in the fog.
I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.
What I am is what I am.
Are you what you are - or what?
Don't let me get too deep.

Stay a while
Stay as long as you can

Alright
I don't mind if I do

Pull up a lawn chair
Take your dreams outside

Alright
I don't mind if I do

Lay low and motor
Motor along

Rest a while
Rest as long
As you need

Alright

Loosen your laces
Let your soles be free

Alright
I don't mind if I do
Oooh

Let me turn off your TV.
Before you go crazy.
Come out for a while with me.
No dont be lazy?
Tall trees whose shadows fall along sheeps meadow.
Never know what we will see. Come take a walk with me.
Well I know youre weary now, and uninspired.
But if you stop going out. Youll just grow tired.
Tall tress whose shadows fall along sheeps meadow.
Never know what we will see. Come take a walk with me.
Dont wanna leave you but I cant stay, anymore.
When its a beautiful bright day outside the door.
Tall trees whose shadows fall along sheeps meadow.
Never know what we will see. Come take a walk with me.

In the morning in the bath
Water pouring from the tap
I don't want to go out
Lie back
Relax

Ever lazy never free
What my conscience does to me
Always something I should do
Something I should be

Run around
Put me down if you want to
I can't hear a sound
'Cause I'm not listening to you
I've taken today to be off and away
Unwinding

In the morning in the bath
I'm restoring from the past
The mistakes I made
Never seem to fade away
In a wash of memory
Everything is coming clean

Run around
Put me down if you want to
I can't hear a sound
'Cause I'm not listening to you
I've taken today to be off and away
Call me Freda
Freda day

Going down a busy road
Looking out of my window
In a taxi backseat
Out of control

Sleepy eyes
It's time to rise
It must be well past afternoon
I know you
Got a wonderful view
I am familiar with the ceiling

But when tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door (x2)

Don't feel bad
The love that you had
Just goes to prove that you are able
I know you
Got a terrible view
I am familiar with the feeling

But when tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door (x2)

Not too far
From where you are
Red leaves are floating in from Sebastian
Everyday
They fall away
Bright green is coming back in fashion

And when tomorrow comes
You'll be stepping out that door...

We like to spy on the neighbors.
They look so happy together.
Funny the power of strangers.
Sometimes I wonder if they got it better.
Green. Have you seen green?
Check out the view from the rooftop.
They've got a horse and a big trampoline.
Running and jumping till they drop.
Down on the ground and they're rolling around in... green.
Have you seen green?
Have you seen green grass?
So green... grass.
So green.
I'd like to be like that.
I'd like to be like that.
I'd like to be moving on a lawn... so green.
I want to laugh the way they laugh.
See all my blues get back up in the sky.
If only we had what they had.
We'd never worry and we'd never cry for... green.
Have you seen green?
Have you seen grass?
So green... grass.
So green.
I'd like to be like that.
I'd like to be like that.
I'd like to be moving on a lawn... so green.

The register stood open as the smoke cleared the room
And one man was lying over blood and a broom
The store door was swingin' in a midnight breeze
And another man ran through the dark and the trees

Lost in the moment of what he needs
Lost in the moment of what he needs

He ran past the motel threw his gun in the trash
Looked down through the darkness and counted the cash
The man at the store was trying to stand
Looked up through the white light and reached out his hand

Lost in the moment of what he needs
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Are you there can you hear me
Are you there

The ambulance arrived but it was too late
In the spin of the red lights they covered his face
He had a wife who was waiting watching TV in bed
Wondering why he wasn't home yet
Their baby was sleeping until the telephone rang
He woke and he cried out but nobody came

Lost in the moment of what he needs
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Are you there can you hear me
Are you there

She doesn't know what they'll do now now that he's gone
Try to get over and try to get on
Alone in the backyard a cool afternoon
The tree they planted has started to bloom
She wanted him to see this she wanted him there
She wanted to kiss him and brush back his hair

Lost in the moment of what she needs
Lost in the moment of what she needs

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends
on you touching ground with us.
But, I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems.
And I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems.

And being alone
is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
the best way to be.
When I'm by myself
nobody else can say goodbye.

Everything is temporary anyway.
When the streets are wet --
the color slip into the sky.
But I don't know why that means you and I are
- that means you and....
I quit -- I give up.
Nothin's good enough for anybody else it seems.
But I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems.

And being alone
is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
the best way to be.
When I'm by myself
nobody else can say...

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around.

Halalalalalala

Last time I was walking by your house
I saw a stranger in the window looking out.
And I waved in a shy kind of reserved way
and he did not wave back.
And I realized that it was not your house at all.
One time when I was in the bath
all my fears started to drown me.
So I quickly let the water out.
I quickly jumped up and ran about the house
with no clothes on.
Drippin' wet.
Scared to death.
This was it.
This was the end.
So I called up a friend on the phone
and she said
"Come on over. Got some hamburger helper.
Got some leafy whole wheat bread.
Got some good wine to drink.
Got some video tapes that don't exactly say much of anything."
When the volcano erupted our conversation was quickly
interrupted.
And you ubruptly jumped up and ran to the car.
Screeched out of the driveway.
Left me standing in the lava.
What could I say?
What could I say?
Victim of a volcano.
Burn me down.
Burn me down.
Melt me to the ground.
Well that's what you get for living next to a volcano
that could go off and spill all over.

She said I tried to mind my own business.
But that sad look on your face, was a challenge to my faith.
Made me wanna chase the dark out of your room.
So she smiled and said hello.
Little did she know, he would take hold of her soul.
And never never never let go.
He was fine before he met her,
Eyes like faded jeans, soft and blue and he had seen everything and he had been everywhere
Til he turned his gaze her way
Longed to see her everyday
Heard a voice inside him say
He'll never never never be the same.
Once in a while
Once in a blue moon.
There comes somebody like you
They caught fire and they got fever.
He was more than fun
She was more than young
And the orange setting sun was beautiful
Ever so at ease in the summer evening breeze
They would talk and they would tease
And never never never want to leave.
Once in a while
Once in a blue moon
There comes somebody like you.

I haven't learned to say goodbye
Hello itself is hard enough
It kills to let a good thing die
And I don't want to see it go bad

Picture perfect morning
Just before the dawn
And city lights are dying
Sing in the cathedral
Face in the stained glass is crying

I won't let myself look at you
And see you like I really do
It's hard to believe
That you're really here
So I just pretend that you're not there

Picture perfect morning
Just before the dawn
And city lights are dying
Sing in the cathedral
Face in the stained glass is crying

Picture perfect morning
Just before the dawn
And city lights are dying
Sing in the cathedral
Face in the stained glass is crying

And when my plane flew through the rain
It shook the wings and people screamed
But I was so sure that I'd see you again
I was not afraid of anything

Gonna tell the tale of a dog named Zillionaire
who stands on the back of a whale howling out in the middle of the ocean.
Waves of dog emotion.
Howl on 'til you find your sailor.
Howl on 'til he carries you home.
Hear him calling for his master
a sailor lost at sea who sank inside a splash and disappeared beneath.

tomorrow.
Howl out for your sailor.
Howl for yourself.
Howl out for someone to carry you home.
Racecar driver skinny head lookin' out the window.
Racecar driver skinny legs pressed against the pedal.
Faster than a second thought speeding 'round the bend.
Never gonna be caught dead 'less they're at the end.
Racecar driver crazy fool, don't worry about nothin'.
Ball of fire burning heat, slammed against the wall.
Never calculated this thing happening at all.
Twelve excited people saw the ambulance arrive.
Everybody knew that he was more dead than alive.
Racecar driver crazy fool, he don't worry 'bout nothin'.
Racecar driver crazy fool, he don't worry 'bout nothin' cept crashin' o-o-o-ohh.
Crashing o-o-o-ohh. Crashing o-o-o-ohh like waves.
Way out where the water is blue there's no land to be seen.
The sky and the ocean fuse together like events inside a dream.
When the sun sinks in the water
stars look down and blink at the sailors standing on deck
who smoke cigarettes and think.
And sometimes when the waves are mellow,
all crashed out you can hear that lonely dog howling out.
Howl out for you master.
Howl all night long.
And maybe he'll hear you and carry you home.

Barely old enough to legally drive.
She took off in her stepmothers van.
A restlessness that blew her over the line.
Like the wind inside an aluminum can.
At a pay phone in a donut shop.
She called a friend back home.
Were all worried theyve called the cops.
Are you crazy? Where have you gone?
She said what would you do if you were me?
When its suicide to stay, and murder to leave.
She ran out of gas down in New Mexico.
And got a job at a local cafe.
Friday nights they featured live rock and roll.
She fell in love with a boy who played.
He had soulful eyes and indian blood.
No intention of staying around.
All he took was his harmonica and her heart when he left town.
He said what would you do if you were me?
When its suicide to stay, and murder to leave?
She never married but she did have a child.
A sweet young girl by the name of Sioux.
She had spirit and a heart breaking smile.
And some beat up moccasin boots.
Anf they had nothing but each others love.
An apartment by the tracks.
And when the day came that Sioux grew up. She said someday Ill be back.
Oh now.
What would you do, if you were me?
When its suicide to stay, and murder to leave?

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
religion is the smile on a dog

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
choke me in the shallow water
before I get too deep
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what?

I'm not aware of too many things

philosophy is a walk on slippery rocks
religion is a light in the fog

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
choke me in the shallow water
before I get to deep
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what?

Don't let me get too deep

You don't even have to try
It comes easy for you
The way you move is so appealing
It could make me cry
Go out driving with my friends
In Bobby's big old beat up car
I'm with a lot of people then
I wonder where you are

Good times, bad times, give me some of that
Good times, bad times, give me some of that
Good times, bad times

I don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to walk you to the door
I spend a little time with you
I want a little more

Good times, bad times, give me some of that
Good times, bad times, give me some of that
Good times, bad times, give me some of that

Give me something to remember you honey.
Hold me close no I dont want your money.
Leave a sign along the midnight highway.
Shine a light to see that I might find my way.
Im not saying goodbye.
Im not saying goodbye.
Oh what you could do to me with just a smile.
Make me happy like a little child.
A rush of love with a flood desire.
Give me everything I require.
Im not saying goodbye.
Im not saying goodbye.
Im not saying goodbye.
Im not saying goodbye.
Baby dont cry-some things never die.
Rest assuredly and know that I love you.
And Im sorry for the hell I put you through.
The sun is going down but it will rise again.
And when I think of you it will be as my friend.
Im not saying goodbye.
Im not saying goodbye.
Im not saying goodbye.

Sank like a stone into rainwater.
That broken home broke my heart.
We must be strong when we dont wanna.
When darkness falls into your arms.
And I remember melodies
Of songs we used to sing.
Doot Doot n Doo Doo
The rain falls.
Doot Doot n Doo Doo
And everyone rushes in.
Doot Doot n Doo Doo
The rain falls on.
Out in the yard, playin cards in the summer.
Cicadas calling through the trees.
It wasn't hard for us all to come together.
It wasn't hard for us all to leave.
And I remember melodies. Of songs we used to sing.
Doot Doot n Doo Doo
The rain falls.
Doot Doot n Doo Doo
And everyone rushes in.
Doot Doot n Doo Doo
The rain falls on.
I remember melodies of songs we used to sing.
Long forgotten melodies of songs we used to sing.

Shooting up junk in the bathroom
Makin it with punks on the floor
Livin the scene of her limmisine
Little Miss S. in a mini dress
Living it up to die
In a blink of the public eye

Day-glo point in an electric chair
Electric dye in her lovers hair
A pretty sight in the middle of the night
Made up for everyone to see
Swinging on the branch of a broken family tree

You got a lot of living to do without (x2)
You got a lot of living to do without life

The village idiots in her bed
Never cared that her eyes were red
Never cared that her eyes were dead
In the hours that her face was alive
It was the thing just to be by her side

You got a lot of living to do without (x2)
You got a lot of living to do without life

Hey, alright

You got a lot of living to do without (x2)
You got a lot of living to do without life

You got a lot of living to do without (x2)
You got a lot of living to do without life

Benny lost faith in a gambling spree.
Had to leave this place -- get away from me.
We'll meet again.
Maybe introduced as friends.
He'll come around in awhile,
but it's so hard to see when the lights go down.
And it's hard to believe when the lights go down.
And you shake in your shoes sitting next to the blues.
'Cause you don't want to lose what you've found.
Then he wants to run but he stands his ground.
Sick of those big boys pushing him around.
Here comes a crowd.
They don't care what it's about.
Somebody's son's going down.
And it's so hard to see when the lights go down.
And it's hard to believe when the lights go down.
All the animals know when the fire is low.
'Cause the wind starts to blow on the ground.
Went away on Sunday.
Had a glass of wine on Monday.
All by yourself in your room.
And it's hard to believe when the lights go down.
And it's so hard to see when the lights go down.
And you shake in your shoes sitting next to the blues.
'Cause you don't want to lose what you've found.

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Must have heard the same song twenty times.
Mama sang and put the make up on her eyes.
We were getting ready to go.
School and the work whistle blow.
Everybody had to rush, rush, rush around.
Rush, rush, rush around.
I remember thinking this just can't be right.
Got to be a better way to live you life.
Slow like a soft Southern breeze.
Nobody take time to breathe.
Everybody had to rush, rush, rush around.
Rush, rush, rush around.
Ooo what you do, I dreamt of you yesterday.
Ooo what you do, you come to me then fade away.
Sometimes a memory is hard to bear.
Don't know how a thing so old could still be there.
When I fell the rain in my soul.
I give it up and I go.
Everybody had to rush, rush, rush around.
Rush, rush, rush around.
