..."brutalize me with muuusic"

[rocketman]

west of Rome, just east of the border
in a static-y ramada inn
polishing his boots and pummeling his liver
steeped in the dark isolation
just what business does he have around here
credentials are wearing out with each little bit of cheer
yes it's a bad scene we're convening

brushing his teeth and milking his ulcer
preparing to waste another wily morning
stroking himself and them phoning up his sister
he tells her their life would make one whale of a movie
yes a childhood full of dry goods and wet neglect
the father they now sponge off they have no absorbing respect
yes he's a glad boy to have such a void
yes he's a martyr crawling accross cobble stones
from his cozy cottages just west of Rome
yes its a sad state for great suffering

Vic Chesnutt

also by Vic,

Built a king on compliments
Charisma and advertisements
Still they see him shimmer ephemeral
It ain't supernatural or maybe
Out of body experience I flew around the little room once
0n intravenous Demerol
It weren't supernatural
Sudden smell certain view
Sparks a whoppin case of the deja vu
Is it inexplicable It ain't supernatural or maybe

[August West]

Half of my life
I spent doin' time for
some other fucker's crime
Other half found me stumbling around
drunk on burgundy wine

The boys down in Louisiana have trouble growin their weed

Them alligators are mean, they eat up all the seeds

But on a bayou night by the light of the full moon

They'll walk out and pick you a sack full of shrooms

fuck yeah man...i can't count how many parties i've been too with that blariing in the background....

[hungryjim]

--------- i'm stoned and haven't heard in years...
"Anger, she smiles, towering in, shiny metalic-purple armor.
Green Jealousy, Envy waits behind her,
Her firey green eyes burning at the grassy ground.
= Blue are the life-giving waters, taken for granted,
they quietly understand,
How once-happy turquiose armies stand opposite, ready
`and wonder why the fight is on....

[Dr.Hallucination.]

Fearless (Waters, Gilmour)

You say the hill's too steep to climb
Climb it.
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing.

You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
That hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today.

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling.
Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning.

And who's the fool who wears the crown?
And go down,
in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.

Hallleluiah

I heard there was a secret chord
that David Played and it pleased the lord
But you dont really care for music, do ya?
And it goes like this, the fourth the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the Baffled King composing Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah

Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya,
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lios she drew the Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah

You say I took the name in vain
I dont even know the name
But if I did, well really, whats it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesnt matter which ya heard
The Holy or the broken Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah

There was a time when you let me know,
whats really going on below
but now you never show that to me, do ya?
But remember when I moved in you
And holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah

Baby Ive been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen the flag on the marble arch
Our love is not a victory march
It's a cold and very lonely halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah

I did my best, it wasnt much
Icould'nt feel, so I learned to touch
I've told the truth I didnt come to fool ya
An even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of song
with nothing on my tongue but Halleluiah
Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah

Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah, Halleluiah

Theres more lines depending on which version you hear

[Froderick]

In my Secret Life


Saw you this morning
you were moving so fast
cant seem to loosen my grip
....on the past
But I miss you so much
there's noone in sight
and were still makin love
....in my secret life
....in my secret life

I smile when I'm angry
I cheat and I lie
I do what I have to do
... to get by
But i know what is wrong
and I know what is right
and I'd die for the truth
....in my secret life
....in my secret life

Hold on, Hold on my Brother
My Sister hold on tight
I finally got moy orders
I'll be marching through the mornin
Marchin through the night
Moving cross the border of my secret life

Look through the papers
Makes you wanna cry
Nobody cares if the people
... live or die
and the dealer wants you thinkin
...that its either black or white
thank god its not that simple
....in my secret life

I bite my lip
and I buy what I'm told
from the latest hit
to the wisdom of old
but I'm always alone
and my heart is like ice
and its crowded and cold
....in my secret life....in my secret life....in my secret life....in my secret life

[Froderick]

Baby, Ive been waitin'
I've been waitin' night and day
I didn't see the time
now I've waited half my life away
there were lots of invitations
I know you sent me some
but I was waiting for the miracle
for the miracle to come

I know you really love me
but you see, my hands were tied
I know it must have hurt you
It must have hurt your pride
to have to stand beneath my window
with your bugle and your drum
and me Im up there waiting for the miracle
for the miracle to come

Waiting for the miracle
there's nothing left to do
I havent been this happy
since the end of world war two
nothing left to do when you know that you've been taken
nothing left to do when your begging for a crumb
nothing left to do when you've got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come

I dreamed about you baby
it was just the other night
most of you was naked
ah, but some of you was light
the sands of time were falling
from your fingers and your thumb
and you were waiting for the miracle
for the miracle to come

Baby let's get married
we've been alone too long
let's be alone together
let's see if we're that strong
yeah, let's do something crazy
something absolutely wrong
while we're waiting for the miracle
for the miracle to come

nothing left to do when you know that you've been taken
nothing left to do when your begging for a crumb
nothing left to do when you've got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come

When you've fallen on the highway
and your lying in the rain
and they ask you how your doing
of course you say you cant complain
If your squeezed for information
that's when you've got to play it dumb
you just say your up there waiting for the miracle
for the miracle to come

[feralronin]

Here is one that I think can relate to us all. STS9-- Baraka w/ Prayer

"let us share some thoughts, feelings, and meditate on life,
using the Vehicle of universal music,
music is food for the soul,
i hope each of us finds something special in this short journey together"

Damn still gives me chills.

[Shroomette]

Definitely love the lyrics to this song.

Froderick with the Leonard Cohen!! I knew someone else had to be a fan!!

[firerat]

She shines
In a world full of ugliness
She matters
When everything is meaningless

Fragile
She doesnt see her beauty
She tries to get away
Sometimes
Its just that nothing seems worth saving
I cant watch her slip away

I wont let you fall apart

She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
Hoping someone can see
If I could fix myself id-
But its too late for me

I wont let you fall apart

Well find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
Ill build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
But they keep waiting
And picking

Its something I have to do
I was there, too
Before everything else
I was like you<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> GA_googleFillSlot("lyricsfreak-300x50-btf");</SCRIPT><SCRIPT src="http://partner.googleadservices.com/gampad/ads?correlator=1229089289328&output=json_html&call back=_GA_googleAdEngine.setAdContentsBySlotForSync &impl=s&prev_afc=2&client=ca-pub-5863942981704561&slotname=lyricsfreak-300x50-btf&page_slots=lyricsfreak-728x90-atf%2Clyricsfreak-300x50-atf-2%2Clyricsfreak-300x50-btf&cust_params=&cookie=ID%3D46c6d57e21c35b00%3AT% 3D1229088792%3AS%3DALNI_MYLJgLpGdVOitTRhp8d32FzTdX h0g&cookie_enabled=1&ga_vid=375689721.1229089289&g a_sid=1229089289&ga_hid=1072902290&ga_fc=false&url =http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lyricsfreak.com%2Fn%2Fnine%2Binc h%2Bnails%2Fthe%2Bfragile_20100890.html&ref=http%3 A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fhl%3Den%26q%3Dfra gile%2Blyrics%26aq%3D2%26oq%3Dfragile&lmt=12290892 89&dt=1229089289796&oe=utf-8&u_h=768&u_w=1024&u_ah=740&u_aw=1024&u_cd=16&u_tz =-300&u_his=31&u_java=true&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&flash =9.0.28.0"></SCRIPT>

Fragile--NIN

[Ras Asad]

By : Dispatch, Song: Flying Horses

the river of doubt gave birth to a beautiful stone
and in my hands I held it and I knew I was on my own
so I picked it up and held it to the sky
and in my reflection. I knew I was all alone
then I saw this girl with the most beautiful hair
she had it wrapped around her for clothes she did not wear
I asked her for a lock and she complied, after leaving
gorgeous footsteps in the sand as if she didn't care
she was the prettiest girl I ever saw
the stone lay still without a flaw
the feelings I had defied the law
as I came to, I went to
and I took a look, a look down the road
to see a badger and a one eyed toad
they didn't say a word, they just looked at me
with that wise old look of the old
then I went to down to town
to my favorite merry-go-round
to the place where magic horses fly
and you seldom see a frown

[Chorus]
but then I stole a ring from the flying horses
and I can't begin to explain how
I stole a ring from the flying horses
and it's all rusty now
I stole a ring from the flying horses
and I can't begin to explain how
I stole a ring from the flying horses
and it's all rusty now

You see 'cause that stone fell through my pocket
and that lock of hair flew away with the wind
If you chance to meet upon either
well you know where they've been
but don't pick them up or try to find me
they're much happier to be on their own
beauty like that knows no home
and then if you take a look, a look down the road
you'll see a badger and a one eyed toad
they won't say a word they'll just look at you
with that wise look of the old

[Chorus]

[Mermaidia]

Hate me today by Blue October, I really love this song!


I have to block out thoughts of you, so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape, to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you, will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me, just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me, it is I who wanted space


Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you


I'm sober now for 3 whole months, it's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so f*cking far away that I'll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind



Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you


And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
'Till I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hands
And then I fell down yelling, "Make it go away," just make a smile
Come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered, "How can you do this to me?"


Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you.

[Mermaidia]

Here's another new favorite, Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black tile
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
Are those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?
Chorus
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
yeah .. yeah .. yeah .. yeah
Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide whats underneath
There’s a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
To ashamed to tell his wife
He’s out of work
He’s buying time
Are those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?
Chorus
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
yeah .. yeah .. yeah .. yeah
I’ve been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all alone
Chorus
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
yeah .. yeah .. yeah .. yeah
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
yeah .. yeah .. yeah .. yeah

Okay sorry about that ip freely I fixed it and now here are the Lyrics.

Your're a song
Written by the hands of God
Don't get me wrong cause
This might sound to you a bit odd
But, you own the place
Where all my thoughts go hiding
And right under your clothes
Is where I find them.

Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's a man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

Because of you
I forgot the smart ways to lie
Because of you
I'm running out of reasons to cry
When the friends are gone
When the party's over
We will still belong to each other.

Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

I love you more than all that's on the planet,
Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing
You know it's true
Oh baby it's so funny
You almost don't believe it
As every voice is hanging from the silence
Lamps are hanging from the ceiling
Like a lday to her good manners
I'm tied up to this feeling

Underneath your clothes
There's an endless sstory
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey.

[Shroomette]

I am in the wilderness
You are in the mussic in the
man's car next to me.
Somewhere in my sadness
I know I won't fall apart
completely

When I need to be rescued
And I need a place to swim
I have a rock to cling to
in the storm
When no-one can hear
me calling
I have you I can sing to.

And in all this
And in all my life

Chorus:
You are the lovers rock
The rock that I cling to
You're the one
The one I swim to in a storm
Like a lovers rock.

I am in the wilderness
You are in the music in the
man's car next to me
Somewhere in my sadness
I know I won't fall apart
completely.

And in all this
And in all my life

Repeat the Chorus twice:

When I need to be rescued
you're there
When I need a place to swim to
in the storm
I think of you
And in all this
And in all my life

You are the Lovers rock
The rock that I cling to
You're the one
The one I swim to in a storm
Like a lovers rock.

[wildburr]

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

[Mermaidia]

Shroomette i love that song by Shakira. It appears we have some of the same tastes in music.

[Froderick]

Yellow Star

There have been bad things done
There have been some good ones
and many people died
and many nations cried
and many babies came
as many died again
yet always man prevails
yea thought the devil wails

You know we're way out there
in some galaxy hair
with all this space around
we fight to keep our share
with all our cruelty
and all our jealousy
we find it hard to give
to just live and let live

Its all in the dance of life my friends
It's all in the song that never ends
Its all in the dance of life my friends
following that Yellow star

We think that we're so big
the truth we never never twig
and if some quasar's gonna blow
I guess we'll never never know
but long before that day
when we are burned away
let us take time to smile
and swing a little while
just a little while

there have been many many words
and just as many many turds
its all a kind of dream
and not quite what it seems
but when the talkings done
this life of death, we're gonna shun
and turn our heart to him (Hailie Salasie)
Who's light will never never dim

Woaah
Its all in the dance of life
Its all in the song that never never ends
Its all in the dance of life my friends
Following that yellow star
Following that yellow star
Following that yellow star

[firerat]

Youve got your ball
Youve got your chain
Tied to me tight tie me up again
Whos got their claws
In you my friend
Into your heart Ill beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
And sweet you roll
Lost for you Im so lost for you
You come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
Im bare boned and crazy for you
When you come crash
Into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
If Ive gone overboard
Then Im begging you
To forgive me
In my haste
When Im holding you so girl
Close to me
Oh and you come crash
Into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
In a boys dream.. in a boys dream
Oh I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted
The way Id like to be
For you, for me, come crash

Crash Into Me--Dave Mathews Band

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ_Nf7yGxbc

[Cultosaurus]

Parched land no desert sand, sun was just a dot
And a little bit of water goes a long way, cause its hot
Three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back
Of a rented ford
They could'nt know they were'nt going far

Each one with the money in his pocket
Could go out and buy himself a brand new car
But they all had the money they had
Money they hoped would take them very far

The sky was bright, a traffic light, now and then a truck
And they had'nt seen a cop around all day
They brought everything they needed
Bags and scales to weigh the stuff
The driver said the borders just over the bluff

It was'nt until the car suddenly stopped
In the middle of a cold and barren place
And the other guy turned and spilled
Three boys blood, did they know a trap had been lain?

They're ok the last days of may, Ill be breathing dry air
I'm leaving soon, the others are already there
You would'nt be interested in coming along, instead of staying here
They say the west is nice this time of year

[wildburr]

Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land for an enemy
Came across love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost

Sky full of eyes, minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts, down to their graves
Murdered the dawn, spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun of which love was born

We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow

We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow

Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
They're watching

All the commotion
The kiddie like play
Has people talking
Talking

You
Your sex is on fire

Dark of the alley
The breaking of day
Head while I'm driving
I'm driving

Soft lips are open
Them nuckles is pale
Feels like you're dying
Your dying

You
Your sex is on fire
And so
Were the words to transpire

Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I could just taste it
Taste it

But it's not forever
But it's just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest

You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire

And so
Were the words to transpire

And you
Your sex is on fire
And so
Were the words to transpire

[i.p.freely]

i've been roaming around
always looking down at all i see
painted faces fill the places i can't reach

you know that i could use somebody
you know that i could use somebody
someone like you

and all you know
and how you speak
countless lovers undercover of the street

you know that i could use somebody
you know that i could use somebody
someone like you

off in the night,
while you live it up, i'm off to sleep
waging war to shake the poet and the beat

i hope it's gonna make you notice
i hope it's gonna make you notice
someone like me
someone like me
someone like me

go and let it out
someone like you
somebody
someone like you
somebody
someone like you
somebody

i've been roaming around
always looking down at all i see

[Caljet666]

My shadow's
Shedding skin and
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in

My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions.

I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within

My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and two ahead of me.

I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through.

I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through.

See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and two are just ahead of me.



I always wondered what the importance of "46 & 2" was and recently found out reading somewhere on the web that it is a a metaphor used for wanting to better yourself, or more to the point about self evolution.

According to an evolutionary theory, humans have 46 chromozones but it is written down as 44 & 2. Apperantly older civilistations (maybe some people still around?) had 42 &2 chromozones, so when Maynard sings 46 & 2 he is obviously refering to the next stage in evolution.

Also, when he is singing about "my shadow" he is refering to a part of your mind where everything you aren't is stored. (I have read of this being the theory of a particular psycolgist but who it was escapes me now.)

Putting these 2 concepts together I believe is a powerful way of getting the point of personal evolution across and is the reason I love Tool soooo much. You can't just scratch the surface. You really have to dig into it which makes it a lot more personal for the listener.


I'd better stop here as I AM one of thoses fanatical Tool fans and could babble on for hours given half a chance.

[i.p.freely]

yeah i was watching some youtube vid about that...and yeah i'm a huge fan too...my favorite band...

[Caljet666]

Yeah, they might not sell as many records as a lot of other bands (although I'd bet they sell a shit load) but I reckon a lot more people would list them as their favourite band than most others.

At least in my warped world view anyway......

Days like this, I don't know what to do with myself
All day -- and all night
I wander the halls along thewalls and under my breath
I say to myself
I need fuel--to take flight--

And there's too much going on
But it's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion

Is that why they call me a sullen girl --sullen girl
They don't know I used to sail deep and tranquil sea
But it's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion
It's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.

Also, a favorite of mine.

[Shroomette]

Once my lover, now my friend
What a cruel thing to pretend
What a cunning way to condescend
Once my lover, now my friend
Oh, you creep up like the clouds
And you set my soul at ease
Then you let your love abound
And you bring me to my knees.

Oh, it's evil babe, the way you let your
grace enrapture me
When well you know, I'd be insane-
to ever let that dirty game recapture me

You made me a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging all around me
'Cause I don't know when you're
gonna make you're move

Oh, your gaze is dangerous
And you fill your space so sweet
If I let you get too close
You'll set your spell on me
So darlin' I just wanna say
Just in case I don't come through
I was on to every play
I just wanted you

But, oh, it's so evil, my love, the way you've
no reverence to my concern
So, I'll be sure to stay wary of you, love,
to save the pain of
Once my flame and twice my burn

You made a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging all around me
'Cause I don't know when you're
gonna make your move.

"shadow boxer"

[floppypeter]

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!


like a dmt trip i took

[mydarling]

i like the lyrics in my sig.

[Dr_T]

She said, "why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
and I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light."
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right.

This song really hits home for me.

[Irishlion]

Reminds me of when I just got out of bootcamp and got my licenses and got my 1991 toyota MR2 6 cyclinder twin turbos with dual intercoolers.

This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holding my own breath, right up 'til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it's just like deja vu
Me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my own breath, could this be the end
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

You can't give up, looking for a diamond in the rough
You never know, when it shows up, make sure you're holding on
Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, ohhh

Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know their not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
