Letters from the WaSteland by THe Wallflowers

Now coming down,
From out of this swan dive,
To your arms I make no sounds,
When I move through your reservoir,
But I wake up quick,
And I wake up sick,
As you,
Abandon me,
Into these fields,
Of rank and file,
Through this crowd I hear you breathing,
And through these bars I watch them bring more in,
Now I send back letters,
From the wasteland home,
Where I slow dance to this romance on my own,
It may take two to tango,
But boy,
Just one to let go,
It's just one to let go,
Now boy keep still,
Don't spread yourself around,
Get back in line,
Eat your bread and just work the plow,
'Cause you're not through,
They're not done with you,
Did you think you were,
The only one that's been let down,
So sleep tight,
Little boys of the new damned,
Another drop in the Tidal wave of quicksand,
Now I send back letters,
From the wasteland home,
Where I slowdance to this romance on my own,
It may take two to tango,
But boy,
Just one to let go,
Now another bad idea gets through,
Down the assembly,
Line to you,
You're every bridge I should have burned,
Every lesson I've unlearned,
But in this smokefilled waiting room,
With incarcerated love sick fools,
I wait for you to cut me loose,
But till then I...,
Send back letters from wasteland home,
Where I slowdance to this romance on my own,
Now I send back letters,
From the wasteland home,
From where I slowdance,
To this romance on my own.

So Many Tears 2pac

I shall not fear no man but God
Though I walk through the valley of death
I shed so many tears (if I should die before I wake)
Please God walk with me (grab a nigga and take me to Heaven)

Back in elementary, I thrived on misery
Left me alone I grew up amongst a dyin breed
Inside my mind couldn't find a place to rest
until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest
Tell me can you feel me? I'm not livin in the past, you wanna last
Be tha first to blast, remember Kato
No longer with us he's deceased
Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets
Now rest in peace
Is there heaven for a G? Remember me
So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears

Ahh, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears..
Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Now that I'm strugglin in this business, by any means
Label me greedy gettin green, but seldom seen
And **** the world cause I'm cursed, I'm havin visions
of leavin here in a hearse, God can you feel me?
Take me away from all the pressure, and all the pain
Show me some happiness again, I'm goin blind
I spend my time in this cell, ain't livin well
I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail?
My life is in denial, and when I die,
baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears

Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears..
Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Now I'm lost and I'm weary, so many tears
I'm suicidal, so don't stand near me
My every move is a calculated step, to bring me closer
to embrace an early death, now there's nothin left
There was no mercy on the streets, I couldn't rest
I'm barely standin, bout to go to pieces, screamin peace
And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it
I had my mind full of demons tryin to break free
They planted seeds and they hatched, sparkin the flame
inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game
No memories, just a misery
Paintin a picture of my enemies killin me, in my sleep
Will I survive til the mo'nin, to see the sun
Please Lord forgive me for my sins, cause here I come...

Lord, I suffered through the years (God) and shed so many tears..
God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Lord knows I.. tried, been a witness to homicide
Seen drivebys takin lives, little kids die
Wonder why as I walk by
Broken-hearted as I glance at the chalk line, gettin high
This ain't the life for me, I wanna change
But ain't no future right for me, I'm stuck in the game
I'm trapped inside a maze
See this Tanqueray influenced me to gettin crazy
Disillusioned lately, I've been really wantin babies
so I could see a part of me that wasn't always shady
Don't trust my lady, cause she's a product of this poison
I'm hearin noises, think she ****in all my boys, can't take no more
I'm fallin to the floor; beggin for the Lord to let me in
to Heaven's door -- shed so many tears
(Dear God, please let me in)

Lord, I've lost so many years, and shed so many tears..
I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears..
God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears


thanks

Reflecting God by Marilyn Manson

your world is an ashtray
we burn and coil like cigarettes
the more you cry your ashes turn to mud

it's the nature of the leeches
the virgin's feeling cheated
you've only spent a second of your life
my world is unaffected
there is an exit here
I say it is and then it's true
there is a dream inside a dream
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
you'll understand when I'm dead

I went to god just to see
and I was looking at me
saw heaven and hell were lies
when I'm god everybody dies
scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar, scar, can you feel my power?
one shot and the world gets smaller

let's jump upon the sharp swords
and cut away our smiles
without the threat of death
there's no reason to live at all
my world is unaffected
there is an exit here
I say it is and then it's true
there is a dream inside a dream
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
you'll understand when I'm dead

I went to god just to see
and I was looking at me
saw heaven and hell were lies
when I'm god everybody dies
scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar, scar, can you feel my power?
one shot and the world gets smaller

scar, scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
shoot shoot shoot mother****er (x2)

each thing I show you is a piece of my death
no salvation, no forgiveness (x5)
this is beyond your experionce
forgiveness...

I went to god just to see
and I was looking at me
saw heaven and hell were lies
when I'm god everybody dies
scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar, scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar, scar, can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar, scar, can you feel my power?
one shot and the world gets smaller
shoot shoot shoot mother****er

At Seventeen - Janis Ian

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired.
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth.

And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say come dance with me
and murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems
At seventeen.

A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
said, Pity please the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve.
The rich relationed hometown queen
Married into what she needs
A guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly.

Remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
Indebentures of quality
And dubious integrity.
Their small town eyes will gape at you
in dull surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received
At seventeen.

To those of us who know the pain
Of valentines that never came,
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball.
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
And dreams were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling girls like me.

We all play the game and when we dare
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
That call and say, come dance with me
and murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me
At seventeen.

Dig by Mudvayne

I would love to beat the face,
Of any mother ****er that's thinkin' they can change me,
White knuckles grip pushing through for the gold,
If you're wantin' a piece of me I broke the mother ****in' mold,
I'm drowning in your wake
**** rubbed in my face
Teething on concrete
Gums bleeding

Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I was slowly changing

I struggle in violated space,
Sell out mother****ers in the biz that try to **** me,
Hang from their T's rated P.G. insight,
I ain't sellin' my soul when there's nothing to buy
I'm livid in my space
Pissing in my face
**** you while you try
To **** me

Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I was you ain't ****in' changing me

Let me help you tie the rope around your neck,
Let me help to talk you the wrong way off the ledge,
Let me help you hold the glock against your head
Let me help you tie the rope around your neck,
Let me help to talk you the wrong way off the ledge,
Let me help you hold the glock up to your head,
Let me help to chain the weights onto your legs
Get on the plank ****

Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I was slowly changing
Wish you were committing
Suicide suckin' on a mother ****in' tailpipe
Dead man dangling from a tight rope
Limbless in the middle of a channel bob away

Life Goes On 2pac

Verse One:

As I bail through tha empty halls
breath stinkin'
in my draws
ring, ring, ring
quiet y'all
incoming call
plus this my homie from high school
he's getting bye
It's time to bury another brotha nobody cry
life as a baller
alchol and booty calls
we usta do them as adolecents
do you recall?
raised as G's
loc'ed out and blazed the weed
get on tha roof
let's get smoked out
and blaze with me
2 in tha morning
and we still high assed out
screamin' 'thug till I die'
before I passed out
but now that your gone
i'm in tha zone
thinkin'
'I don't wanna die all alone'
but now ya gone
and all I got left are stinkin' memories
I love them niggas to death
i'm drinkin' Hennessy
while tryin' ta make it last
I drank a 5th for that ass
when you passed....
cause life goes on

Chorus

How many brothas fell victim to tha streetz
Rest in peace young nigga, there's a Heaven for a 'G'
be a lie, If I told ya that I never thought of death
my niggas, we tha last ones left
but life goes on.....


Verse Two:

Yeah nigga
I got tha word as hell
ya blew trial and tha judge gave you
25 with an L
time to prepare to do fed time
won't see parole
imagine life as a convict
that's getten' old
plus with tha drama
we're lookin out for your babies mama
taken risks, while keepin' cheap tricks from gettin on her...
life in tha hood...
is all good for nobody
remember gamin' on dumb hoties at chill parties
Me and you
No true a two
while scheming on hits
and gettin tricks
that maybe we can slide into
but now you burried
rest nigga
cause I ain't worried
eyes bluried
sayin' goodbye at the cemetary
tho' memories fade
I got your name tated on my arm
so we both ball till' my dying days
before I say goodbye
Kato and Mental rest in peace
Thug till I die

Chorus

Verse Three:

Bury me smilin'
with G's in my pocket
have a party at my funeral
let every rapper rock it
let tha hoes that I usta know
from way before
kiss me from my head to my toe
give me a paper and a pen
so I can write about my life of sin
a couple bottles of Gin
incase I don't get in
tell all my people i'm a Ridah
nobody cries when we die
we outlaws
let me ride
until I get free
I live my life in tha fast lane
got police chasen me
to my niggas from old blocks
from old crews
niggas that guided me through
back in tha old school
pour out some liquor
have a toast for tha homies
see we both gotta die
but ya chose to go before me
and brothas miss ya while your gone
you left your nigga on his own
how long we mourn
life goes on...

Chorus *repeats to end*

Best i Ever Had by Vertical HOrizon

So you sailed away
into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now

Chorus:
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

Chorus:
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
run away and hide
And I may find in time that
you were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
love can be so boring

What was it you wanted?
Could it be I'm haunted?

Chorus:
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had

The best I ever had
Best I ever...

Heaven is a halfpipe by OPM

If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate
'Cause right now on earth
I can’t do jack
Without the man up on my back

Now Heaven would be a DJ
Spinnin’ dub all night long
And Heaven would be just kickin’
back With Jesus packing my (bong)
And if you don’t believe in Jesus
Then Muhammed or Buddah too
And while the world is warring
We just sit back and laugh at you

If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate
'Cause right now on earth
I can’t do jack
Without the man up on my back

Now when most people think of Heaven
They see those pearly gates
But I looked a little closer
And there’s a sign that says,
"Do not skate"
So if you wanna come to my Heaven
Well we all gonna have a ball
And every one you know is welcome
'Cause we got no gates or walls

If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate

Then I got to the gate
Pulled out a list that
I’d been callin’ fate
I’m sorry friend you can’t come in
You got a list here that doesn’t end
You’re mad 'cause I smoke dope
You teachin’ any classes in how to cope
I’ll find a place to rest my head
I’d rather be alone now that I’m dead
Like Christian Hosoi way back in ‘87
We’ll be bustin’ Christ airs until we get to Heaven
Think I really care that I missed biology
Got my education in stale fishology
With all your rules you got to chill
I’m gonna twist out like Mike McGill
Gonna twist out 'cause I got the skills
Gonna twist out 'cause I got the skills
Got the skills
Got the skills
Got the skills
Got the skills

Heaven is a halfpipe

If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate
'Cause right now on earth
I can’t do jack
Without the man upon my back

(Heaven is a halfpipe)
If I die before I wake
At least in Heaven I can skate
(Heaven is a halfpipe)

If I die before I wake
(If I die before I wake)
At least in Heaven I can skate
(Heaven is a halfpipe)

White Man'z World 2pac

"You go bustin your fist against a stone wall,
you're not usin your brain. That's what the white man wants you to do.
Look at you! What makes you ashamed of bein black?"

(Nuttin but love for you my sister)
Might even know how hard it is (no doubt)
Bein a woman, a black woman at that? (no doubt)
**** - in this white man's world
Sometimes we overlook the fact that we be ridin hard on our sisters
we don't be knowin the pain we be causin (in this white man's world)
In this white man's world.. I ain't sayin I'm innocent in all this
I'm just sayin (in this white man's world)
This song is for y'all
For all those times that I messed up or we messed up

[2Pac]
Dear sister, got me twisted up in prison I miss ya
Cryin lookin at my niece's and my newphew's picture
They say don't let this cruel world get ya, kinda suspicious
Swearin one day you might leave me, for somebody that's richer
Twist the cap off the bottle, I take a sip and see tomorrow
Gotta make if I have to beg or borrow
Readin love letters; late night, locked down and quiet
If brothers don't recieve they mail best believe we riot
Eatin Jack-Mack(?), starin at walls of silence
inside this cage where they captured all my rage and violence
In time I learned a few lessons, never fall for riches
Aplogizies to my TRUE sisters; far from *****es
Help me raise my black nation reperations are due, it's true
Caught up in this world I took advantage of you
So tell the babies how I love them, precious boys and girls
Born black in this white man's world - and all I heard was

[Chorus - sung]
Who, knows what tomorrow brings
In this world, where everyone's blind
And where to go, no matter how far I'll find
To let you know, that you're not alone

[2Pac over Chorus]
Only thing they ever did wrong (YES, YES)
was bein born black, in this white man's world (NO DOUBT)
(All my ghetto mother****ers be proud to be black and be PROUD)
All my little black seeds, born black in this white man's world
(to have this **** like this, cause ain't NOBODY got it like this)
(All these mother****ers wanna be like us, they all wanna be like us)
(To be the have-nots, all hail)
(God bless the child that can hold his own, no mother****in doubt)

[2Pac]
Bein born with less I must confess only adds on to the stress
Two gunshots to my homie's head, dyed in his vest
Shot him to death and left him bleedin for his family to see
I pass his casket gently askin, is there heaven for G's?
My homeboy's doin life, his baby momma be stressin
Sheddin tears when her son, finally ask that questions
Where my daddy at? Mama why we live so poor?
Why you cryin? Heard you late night through my bedroom door
Now do you love me mama? Whitey keep on callin me nigga?
Get my weight up with my hate and pay 'em back when I'm bigger
And still thuggin in this jail cell, missin my block
Hearin brothers screamin all night, wishin they'd stop
Proud to be black but why we act like we don't love ourselves
Don't look around busta (you sucka) check yourselves
Know what it MEANS to be black, whether a man or girl
We still strugglin, in this white man's world

[Chorus]

[*megaphone* over Chorus]
We must fight, for brother Mumia
We must fight, for brother Mutulu
And we must fight, for brother (?)
We must fight, for brother Geronimo Pratt
We must fight.. for (?), Zulu, (?)
We must fight, for the government's political prisoners
They are locked up falsely by this white man

[2Pac]
So tell me why you -
changed to choose a new direction, in the blink of an eye
My time away just made perfection, did you think I'd die?
Not gon' cry, why should I care
Like we holdin on to lost love that's no longer there
Can you please help me, God bless me please keep my seeds healthy
Makin all my enemies bleed while my G's wealthy
Hopin they bury me with ammunitions, weed, and shells
Just in case they trip in heaven - ain't no G's hell
Sister sorry for the pain that I caused your heart
I know I'll change if you help me, but don't fall apart
Rest in peace to Latasha, Lil' Yummy, and Kato
Too much for this cold world to take - ended up bein fatal
Every women in America, especially black
Bear with me, can't you see, that we under attack
I never meant to cause drama, to my sister and mama
Hope we make it, to better times, in this white man's world

[Chorus] - 3X

[Dialogue over Chorus]
"You're out of touch with reality!
There are a few of you in a few smoke filled rooms (?) that
the mainstream wound up masses of the people
White and black, red yellow, and, and brown
(?) invulnerable are suffering, in this nation."

[2Pac over Chorus]
Remember that, in this white man's world, they can't stop us
We've been here all this time they ain't took us out
They can never take us out
No matter what they say, about us bein extinct
about us being endangered species, we ain't NEVER gon' leave this
We ain't NEVER gon' walk off this planet, unless Y'ALL choose to
Use your brain, use your brain
It ain't THEM that's killin us it's US that's killin us
It ain't THEM that's knockin us off, it's US that's knockin us off
I'm tellin you better watch it, or be a victim
Be a victim, in this white man's world..
.. born black, in this white man's world, no doubt
And it's dedicated to my mother****in teachers
Mutulu Shakur, Geronimo Pratt, Mumia Abu Jamal
Sekou Odinga, all the real O.G.'s, we out

Kristin Hersh rocks! Put an end to popups!

Not too soon

Throwing Muses

She colourblind tired eyes
Her hallway aching
She'll never move him likes it that way
He's just a walker and he'll never stop walking away

It's not too soon he said It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said If you're afraid to fall
I said I know her

She said Why do you stare so hard
Wrapped up like a doll in bad dreams and broken arms
Make these old bones shiver

It's not too soon he said It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said If you're afraid to fall
I said I know her

The last time I saw you You were standing in the dark
And with a freezing face I watched you fall apart
It's not too soon he said It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said If you're afraid to fall
I said done your time been in your place |
I couldn't look you in the face and tell you that it turns me on
it makes my stomach turn I know
I know her

It's not too soon he said It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said If you're afraid to fall
I said I know her

What's Going on by Marvin Gaye

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

When You Say Nothing At All

by Allison Krauss

originally by Keith Whitley


It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old Mister Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

Alanis Morissette - Hand In My Pocket

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby

And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
Cuz I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
Cuz I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
What it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
Cuz I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign

I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken ****
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

What it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
Cuz I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
What it all comes down to my friend
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
Cuz I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab.....

This Flight Tonight

Look out the left, the captain said
The lights down there that's where we'll land
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vegas sands
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one
That you can wish upon
Not the northern one
That guides in the sailors

Oh starbright starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Now I can't talk to you baby
I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven
Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Oh blackness blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine

Oh starbright starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't hove got on this flight tonight

I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you out
Can't drum you out of my mind
They're playing Goodbye baby, Baby Goodbye
Ooh ooh love is blind
Up go the flaps down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it's better when we meet again baby

Starbright starbright
You got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight


Don't Interrput The Sorrow

Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
In flames our prophet witches
Be polite
A room full of glasses
He says "You're notches liberation doll"
And he chains me with that serpent
To that Ethiopian wall

Anima rising
Queen of Queens
Wash my guilt of Eden
Wash and balance me
Anima rising
Uprising in me tonight
She's a vengeful little goddess
With an ancient crown to fight

Truth goes up in vapors
The steeples lean
Winds of change patriarchs
Snug in your bible belt dreams
God goes up the chimney
Like childhood Santa Claus
The good slaves love the good book
A rebel loves a cause

I'm leaving on the 1:15
You're darn right
Since I was seventeen
I've had no one over me
He says "Anima rising
So what
Petrified wood process
Tall timber down to rock"

Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
He says "We walked on the moon
You be polite"
Don't let up the sorrow
Death and birth and death and birth
He says "Bring that bottle kindly
And I'll pad your purse
I've got a head full of quandary
And a mighty mighty thirst"

Seventeen glasses
Rhine wine
Milk of the Madonna
Clandestine
He don't let up the sorrow
He lies and he cheats
It takes a heart like Mary's these days
When your man gets weak


The Last Time I Saw Richard

The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh he said you think you're immune
Go look at your eyes they're full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies pretty lies
When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies
Only pretty lies just pretty lies

He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer and he pushed
Three buttons and the thing began to whirr
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
And she said "Drink up now it's gettin' on time to close"
"Richard, you haven't really changed" I said
It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
You got tombs in your eyes but the songs you punched are dreaming
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
Oh and love can be so sweet Love so sweet

Richard got married to a figure skater
And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
And all the house lights left up bright
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamers pass this way some day
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes dark cafes
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
Only a phase these dark cafe days

Raze - Always And Forever

The stars will shine, The moon will glow
The sun will rise, The grass will grow
Some things will never change
Just like me and you
Mountains high and valleys low
I have got to let you know
That I am here for you
Whatever you go through

Troubles come and get you down
I'll always be around to say

Chorus:
I will be here always and forever
I'll be here for you
We will be friends
Forever and ever

As far back as I can remember
Thirty-one days in the month of December
Life will still go on
But it's just not the same
Miles and miles and miles are between us
Like Earth and Mars and then on to Venus
Although you have gone away
I still see your face

And these memories will linger on
Inside our hearts always

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

It's COme to THis by Fuel

And I found my head uncrowned and all life's sweet nectar flowing down
the cracks and seams wasted on some petty little prayers
And I
reached up for despair but I was well below that cherished stage and
all
my mangled hopes all song unsung
Chorus:
I fear I've wasted all my sun
I fear I've wasted all my time
Everything is faded
Smiles are fabricated now
I fear I've wasted all my sun
I fear I've wasted all my time
Held my eyes closed for too long
And I ran out through the streets in hopes that I might find it there
but all my buildings stared back at me tenantless and bare
and I
reached up for the sky, but it always seemed so far away transcendent
thoughts you gave lie atrophied and broken
(chorus)
And I sat when I should have stood; swallowed when I should have spit
until now I only recognize me in pictures taken long ago
and
all the changes simply haunt and never go away
a friend will tell when I hit hell, I may not feel the change
Held my eyes closed for too long
Held my eyes closed for too long
Just before I go don't you offer any sweet advice because where were
all
your shoulders when I needed them so long ago
and
now with legs weak and weary from this silly dance
with a suitcase fulof memories, I pack my bags and slowly drift away
Hold my breath, wish that I could find a place
To hideaway
Hideaway, take me now
I cannot face another round

Head over Feet by Alanis Morrissette

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

(chorus)
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service

(repeat chorus)

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

The Devil's Song
Marcy Playground



Some kids they know how to fight
Some kids run
I'm a thousand generations ahead of them
Cool as they come

See all my suits are Calvin Kline
My lucky number is 69
I got all the things I need
It's the nature of my breed

I'm independent
Smooth and confident
Always in command
Graceful element
A tasteful compliment
Do you know who I am

Look up, look down, watch out the tiger is on the town tonight
I'm a deadly handsome man
Look up, look down, watch out the tiger is on the town tonight
I'm the lion in the lamb


Everywhere I go I make the seen
The ladies love to stroke me
Pimped out and lazy in my limousine
Oh come on here sweetie
Everything I say like Socrates
People love to quote me
My real name is Mephistopheles
But you can call me baby

lonestar: thanx..i think you've posted that for me before.

this reminds me of kaak (please notice the double n..it's a word play....it's a name):

Get YOUR Gunn by Marilyn Manson

goddamn your righteous hand
I eat innocent meat
the housewife I will beat
the prolife I will kill
what you won't do I will
I bash myself to sleep
what you sow I will reap
I scar myself you see
I wish I wasn't me
I am the little stick
you stir me into ****
I hate therefore I am
goddamn your righteous hand
goddamn, goddamn
goddamn, goddamn
pseudo-morals work real well
on the talk shows for the weak
but your selective judgements and good guy badges
don't mean a **** to me
I throw a little fit
I slit my teenage wrist
the most that I can learn
is in records that you burn
get your gunn, get your gunn
get your gunn, get your gunn
pseudo-morals work real well
on the talk shows for the weak
but your selective judgements and good guy badges
don't mean a **** to me
I am the vhs, record me with your fist
you want me to save the world
I'm just a little girl
pseudo-morals work real well
on the talk shows for the weak
but your selective judgements and good guy badges
don't mean a **** to me
get your gunn, get your gunn
get your gunn, get your gunn...get

Judith by A Perfect Circle

You're such an inspiration for ways that i will never ever choose to be.
Oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you.

Thank(****) your god.

Your Lord, Your Christ
He did this, took all you had and left you this way.
Still you pray, never stray,
Never taste of the fruit. never thought to question why.

It's not like you killed someone.
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side.
Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed.
He did it all for you.

Oh so many ways for me to show you how your dogma has abandoned you.
Pray to your christ, to your god.
Never taste of the fruit,
Never stray, never break,
Never choke on a lie,
Even though he's the one who did this to you.
Never thought to question why.

It's not like you killed someone.
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side.
Talk to jesus christ as if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you.

He did it all for you.

He did it all for you.

Dissappointment by The Cranberries

Disappointment you shouldn’t have done
you couldn’t have done you wouldn’t have done
the things you did then
And we could’ve been happy what a pitons thing,
a hideous thing was tainted by the rest
But it won’t get any harder and I hope you’ll find your way again
And it won’t get any higher, and it all boils down to what you did then
In the night we fight. I fled you’re light it was exactly then.
I decided and drew you art
In the night we fight. I fled you’re light it was exactly there. I decided
But it won’t be any harder and I hope you’ll find your way again
And it won’t get any higher but it all boils down to what you did then

I'm a Pimped out Jedi Knight,
Obi-Wan meets Dolomite,
Ben Kenobi went and got himself a Pompador,
These aren't the whores you're looking for

Jackass.
Even Crocodile hunters smoke weed,
Steve Irwin burning herb in his Jeep,
Chicks and Kangaroos are laughing at his hair cut,
Its the purple that you bought.

(Chorus)
If you knew me like,
I know myself,
You'd hate me like

Jackass.
Got no Rabbit in this hat,
'Cause I'm pulling it out my ass
Ain't Siegfried or Roy but I could be,
Making Magic with a *****.

Jackass.
Like that dude in Tienemen Square,
With a Six pack and a folding chair,
Got pulled by a beret and ended up,
Playing Chicken with a tank's butt

(Chorus)

We could out the Lesbian Spice Girl,
They could try to run Game on the ODB.
They could kick every douche bag off the Real World,
But they won't get rid of me!

If I knew you like,
You know yourself,
I'd hate you like,
You hate yourself,
Hate yourself,
Hate yourself,
Hate yourself,
Hate yourself,
Hate yourself,
Hate yourself,
'Cause you're a Jackass!
