The Space Between
You cannot quit me so quickly
There's no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love

The Space Between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain

But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like 'Will it rain today?'
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing

We're strange allies
With warring hearts
What wild-eyed beast you be
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain

Will I hold you again?
Will I hold...

Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down

The Space Between
Where you're smiling high
Is where you'll find me if I get to go
The Space Between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into...
The Space Between
Our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
'Cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need here

The Space Between
What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The Space Between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
The Space Between...

Here's another for Sara,

Hanging by a Moment
by Lifehouse

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where i started
Chasing after you

i'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all i've held onto
i'm standing here until you make me move
i'm hanging by a moment here with you

forgetting all i'm lacking
completely and complete
i'll take your invitation
you take all of me

now.. i'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all i've held onto
i'm standing here until you make me move
i'm hanging by a moment here with you

i'm living for the only thing i know
i'm running and not quite sure where to go
i don't know what i'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you

there's nothing left to lose
nothing left to find
there is nothing in the world that can change my mind
there is nothing else
there is nothing else..

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer where i Started
Chasing after you

i'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all i've held onto
i'm standing here until you make me move
i'm hanging by a moment here with you

i'm living for the only thing i know
i'm running and not quite sure where to go
i don't know what i'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you

just hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment..
hanging by a moment...
hanging by a moment here with you...

 

Someone quote a song, please...

 

Sunburn
by Fuel

The sky was dark this morning
Not a bird in the trees
And silence hung suspicious and anxious
Like a blanket covered scream

And you were gone
You were not there for me
And I cursed the sky and begged the sun to
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down

All my friends are searching
Quiet, desperately
Look into their eyes you'll see the faithless crying
Save me, save me, save me

And what are they to feel
And who are they to be
And what am I to do with, do with me, but let the sun
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down

Until my eyes cry out
'Til my head is free from doubt
'Til my lungs sigh right out
'Til I'm wiser

Let the sun
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down

 

"Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" by U2

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard


I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company


I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby


You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it


Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing


I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see


And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my


You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep


I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all


You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass


And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass


It's just a moment
This time will pass

 

Please can you stop the noise I'm trying to get some rest.
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head.

What's this?

When I am king you will be first against the wall.
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all.

What's this?

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly.
Kicking, squealing Gucci little piggy.

You don't remember, you don't remember, you don't even remember my name. Off with his head, man. Off with his head, man. You don't even remember my name. I guess he does.

Rain down. Rain down..........on me. From a great height.

That's it sir, you're leaving.
The crackle of pigskin.
The dust and the screaming.
The yuppies networking.
Tha panic, the vomit.
The panic, the vomit.
God loves his children
God loves his children, yeah.

----------- "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead.

 

Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac

Rock on--gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon,
And dig your grave

Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray

Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise--loves--to go down
Lousy lovers--pick their prey
But they never cry out loud

Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now--do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.

Rock on--ancient queen
Follow those who pale
In your shadow

Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale

Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now--do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.

 

Another dedication to Sara, light of my heart. It's Elevation, by U2.

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here


At corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse
You elevate my soul


I've got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation


A star
Lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind


Explain all these controls
Can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation


A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation


I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation


Love
Lift me up out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you


A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation


Higher now
In the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation


Elevation
Elevation
Elevation
Elevation

 

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I lived

Fed through a tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God wake me

Now the world is gone, I'm just One
Oh, God help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God help me

Darkness, imprisoning me
All that I see, absolute horror
I cannot live, I cannot die
Trapped in myself, body my holding cell

Landmine, has taken my sight
Taken my speech, taken hearing
Taken my arms, taken my legs
Taken my soul, left me with life in hell

One by Metallica

 

"So I made her the queen of my double-wide trialer,
with the polyester curtains and the red-wood deck...."

'scuse me, gotta go yack now.

Chorus

 

So you're with her
and not with me

I hope she's sweet and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully
A little angel beside you

So you're with her
and not with me

Oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house is small and clean
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me

So you're with her
and not with me

I know she spreads sweet honey
In fact your best friend I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me

And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me

Does it bother you now all the mess I made? Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear?
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played?
Does it bother you now when I'm not there?

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me

Aargh.

 

I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do
But she is an IBM.
...
She is the latest in technology
Almost mythology
But she has a heart of stone
She has an I.Q. of 1001
She has a jumpsuit on
And she's also a telephone.

Remember the good old 1980s?
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same.

---

A penny in your pocket
Suitcase in your hand
They won't get you very far
Now you're a 21st century man.
...
Things ain't how you thought they were
Nothing have you planned
So pick up your penny and your suitcase
You're not a 21st century man.

I'm a rolling stone, all alone and lost,
For a life of sin, I have paid the cost.
When I pass by, all the people say
"Just another guy on the lost highway."

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies make a life like mine.
Oh, the day we met, I went astray,
I started rollin' down that lost highway.

I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two,
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you,
And now I'm lost, too late to pray,
Lord, I've paid the cost on the lost highway.

Now, boys, don't start your ramblin' round,
On this road of sin or you're sorrow bound.
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway.

---

there is a child sleeping near his twin
the pictures go wild in a rush of wind
that dark angel he is shuffling in
watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled

the love you lost with her skin so fair
is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
her green eyes bloom goodbyes
with her head in her hands and your kiss on the lips of another
dream brother
with your tears scattered round the world.

don't be like the one who made me so old
don't belie the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you like i waited for mine
and nobody ever came

i feel afraid and i call your name
i love your voice and your dance insane
i hear your words and i know your pain
your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
your eyes to the ground
and the world spinning round forever

asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

---

i lost myself on a cool damp night
gave myself in that misty light
was hypnotized by a strange delight
under a lilac tree

i made wine from the lilac tree
put my heart in its recipe
it makes me see what i want to see
and be what i want to be

when i think more than i want to think
do things i never should do
i drink much more that i ought to drink
because i brings me back you

lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
lilac wine, i feel unsteady, like my love

listen to me... i cannot see clearly
isn't that she coming to me nearly here

lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love
lilac wine, i feel unsteady, where's my love

listen to me, why is everything so hazy
isn't that she, or am i just going crazy, dear

lilac wine, i feel unready for my love

---

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore
Sing to me, Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go
There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Bye bye

---

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
and as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well, enough said
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
see, the sea wants to take me
the knife wants to cut me
do you think you can help me?
Sad

 

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

I got to bet
that your old man
Became fascinated
with his own plan
Turned you loose,
your mama too
There wasn't a thing
that you could do.

But I got faith in you,
It's a razor love
that cuts clean through.
I got faith in you,
It's a razor love
that cuts clean through.

You really made my day
With the little things you say

Looking through
the window at a silhouette
Trying to find something
I can't find yet
Imagination is my best friend
Got to look out for
the greedy hand, greedy hand
Make a living like a rolling stone
On the road
there's no place like home
Silhouettes on the window.

Who was it made
your eyes flicker like that
Tell me baby,
how'd you get the knack
You came to me with open arms
And I really
took you down the track

Now all I've got for you,
Is the kind of love
that cuts clean through.
All I got for you is razor love
It cuts clean through.

You really made my day
With the little things you say

Now I'm looking through
the window at a silhouette
Trying to find something
I can't find yet
Imagination is my best friend
Got to watch out for
the greedy hand, greedy hand
Make a living like a rolling stone
On the road
there's no place like home
Silhouettes on the window.

You really make my day
With the little things you say.

---

I saw you in line when I checked in
and I thought that you smiled but I'm uncertain
I know all the lines but they don't work for me
so I just turned away and let it be

On the way to my room I saw you in the hall
our rooms were side by side in this huge hotel
I could hear through the walls you were watching what I was
so I picked up my guitar and I wrote this for you

There's only two doors in between us
I've got a bucket and I'll get some ice
we'll watch a movie and we'll feel alright, tonight
we'll watch a movie and we'll feel alright tonight

---

Here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
And where are you when the sun goes down
You're so far away from me

You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, all right

I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of making out on the telephone
'Cause you're so far away from me

You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, all right

And I get so tired when I have to explain
And you're so far away from me
See, you been in the sun and I've been in the rain
And you're so far away from me

You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, all right

---

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don'

 

The morn' that I was born my old man beat up the dotor
He clocked the doctor cause the doctor said I looked like Chewbacca
The doctor said sir you're misled sir which infers you mistook me
I did not mean your lovely wife was shackin' up with a wookie
What I mean is Wolverine is less hairy than your son
He's looks like Chewie Baba Booey Baba Booey and Hong Kong Phooey all in one
To put it mild your new-born child's completely nutty fu-fu lookin'
I'd shove him back into the oven until he is done cookin'
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause my fifteen year-old cousin has less acne
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Ain't brushed them teeth since 1983
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you got the grooming habits of a chimpanzee
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you're white but you got a nose like Bill Cosby
Why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Always pickin' and rippin' apart poor ol' Jimmy Pop Ali
I got a schnoz like the 'Cos' but there's a lot more wrong with you
So back me up Bill yea and you're ugly too
So what if I brush my teeth with a piece of cheddar cheese
Or where a fish net shirt by Chams with my Sergio Valenti jeans
And my mirror never lies but it always verifies
I got more cheese and pepperoni than a homemade pizza pie
You compare me to a Monchichi but I don't understand
Why I'm scorned like I'm deformed like the Elephant Man
And yea I took my mom to the prom but hey she asked me first
But at least this time I didn't find my date in the back of a hearse
About as popular with the girls with Englebert Humperdink
And that might be 'cause everybody calls me Shrinky Dink
I know I'm known as Polaroid I'm not a total retard
It's cause I'm done in sixty seconds and you'll still want it enlarged
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause ya wore velour flares until the late Eighties
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you run like a girl and sit down to pee
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause your only school chum was the lunch lady
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
You took your mom to the prom but still got lucky
Like that episode where Gilligan gets sick of being teased
And he breaks into the Professor's lab and makes some LSD
Peaks freaks and eats the Skipper's brains then beats Ginger with coconuts
As Mr. Howell and Lovey burn alive inside their grass hut
Oh he'll kill again that Gilligan they he should have let him be
And like a postal clerk I'll go beserk if you don't stop teasing me
See the trick is only pick on those that can't do you no harm
Like the drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause my fifteen year-old cousin has less acne
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Ain't brushed them teeth since 1983
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you got the grooming habits of a chimpanzee
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you're white but you got a nose like Bill Cosby
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause ya wore velour flares until the late Eighties
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you run like a girl and sit down to pee
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause your only school chum was the lunch lady
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause no one likes you monkey boy

 

Open Door
(Genesis)

I see your smiling face, by the open door
There's the morning light
Shining in your hair, and in your eyes

And just a little way behind that smile of

yours
I see another one, oh so far away
If only for one second, I could hold you close to me

When the Master calls for me again
There's nothing I can say, or I can do

Goodbye, my love
Time has come to say farewell
I hear the call again
Goodbye to the world
I've shouted for so long
Oh there's so much my love, that I can never
say

And in a little while, in a little while
There's nothing left to see

As the years go by and I have not returned
And the night has come, falling all around
Ooh if you count the stars you'll know
How many have gone out
And when the Master calls for me again
There's nothing that I can say
Or I can do

Stand in the sun
Shut your eyes and feel the world
It's changing every day
Goodbye my love
Each day will seem so long
Ooh there's so much I feel, that I can never
say

I can't see you
I can't feel you anymore
I've just a memory of that open door

---

Afterglow
(Genesis)


Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me
shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.

Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.

And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
I miss you more.

MY BRAVE FACE
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus


MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE FACE.


I'VE BEEN LIVING IN STYLE,
UNACCUSTOMED AS I AM
TO THE LUXURY LIFE,
I'VE BEEN HITTING THE TOWN
AND IT DIDN'T HIT BACK.

I'VE BEEN DOING THE ROUNDS,
UNACCUSTOMED AS I AM
TO THE TIME ON MY HANDS.
NOW I DON'T HAVE TO TELL ANYBODY
WHEN I'M GONNA GET BACK.

EVER SINCE YOU WENT AWAY
I'VE HAD THIS SENTIMENTAL INCLINATION
NOT TO CHANGE A SINGLE THING.
AS I PULL THE SHEETS BACK ON THE BED,
I WANT TO GO BURY MY HEAD IN YOUR PILLOW.

NOW THAT I'M ALONE AGAIN, I CAN'T STOP BREAKING DOWN AGAIN,
THE SIMPLEST THINGS SET ME OFF AGAIN,
TAKE ME TO THAT PLACE
WHERE I CAN'T FIND MY BRAVE FACE,
WHERE I CAN'T FIND MY BRAVE FACE,
MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE FACE.

MY BRAVE FACE.

I'VE BEEN LIVING A LIE,
UNACCUSTOMED AS I AM
TO THE WORK OF A HOUSEWIFE.
I'VE BEEN BREAKING UP
DIRTY DISHES AND BEEN THROWING THEM AWAY.

EVER SINCE YOU LEFT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO
COMPOSE A "BABY, WILL YOU PLEASE COME HOME"
NOTE MEANT FOR YOU.
AS I CLEAR AWAY ANOTHER UNTOUCHED TV DINNER
FROM THE TABLE I LAID FOR TWO.

NOW THAT I'M ALONE AGAIN, I CAN'T STOP BREAKING DOWN AGAIN,
THE SIMPLEST THINGS SET ME OFF AGAIN
TAKE ME TO THAT PLACE.
WHERE I CAN'T FIND MY BRAVE FACE,
WHERE I CAN'T FIND MY BRAVE FACE,
MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE FACE.

MY BRAVE FACE.

VERONICA
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
As recorded by Elvis Costello


IS IT ALL IN THAT PRETTY LITTLE HEAD OF YOURS?
WHAT GOES ON IN THAT PLACE IN THE DARK?
WELL, I USED TO KNOW A GIRL AND I WOULD HAVE
SWORN
THAT HER NAME WAS VERONICA.

WELL, SHE USED TO HAVE A CAREFREE MIND OF HER OWN
AND A DELICATE LOOK IN HER EYE.
THESE DAYS, I'M AFRAID, SHE'S NOT EVEN SURE
IF HER NAME IS VERONICA.

DO YOU SUPPOSE, THAT WAITING HANDS ON EYES,
VERONICA HAS GONE TO HIDE?
AND ALL THE TIME SHE LAUGHS AT THOSE WHO SHOUT HER NAME AND STEAL HER CLOTHES.
VERONICA, VERONICA. (V

 

Here somewhere in the heart of me
there is still a part of me
that cares

I, I still take the best you got
even though I'm sure it's not
the best for me

when you're born a lover
born to suffer
like all soul sisters and soul brothers

I can see the danger signs
they only help to underline
your beauty

I'm not looking for an easy ride
true happiness can't not be tried
so easily

when you're born a lover
born to suffer
like all soul sisters and soul brothers

You can take your time
I'll be waiting in line
you don't have to give the time of day

when you're born a lover
born to suffer
like all soul sisters and soul brothers
like all soul sisters and soul brothers

 

Entril, I love Aimmee Mann and have that cd. Its 1 of my faves.

I can't remember who quoted 'Rent' but that is probably 1 of my fave. musicals.

Whoever quoted 'Pink Floyd's' "Wish you were Here". Thats another 1 of my fave. songs and I swear every time I hear that, it takes me back to about 5 years ago.

With all of that being said I'm gonna quote 3 Tori Amos songs off her 'Boys for Pele' cd.

"Hey Jupiter"

No one's picking up the phone
guess it's me and me
and this little massochist
she's ready to confess
all the things that I never thought
that she could feel and

hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we bought could use a friend
to run to
and I thought you'd see with me
you wouldn't have to be with something new

sometimes I breathe you in
and I know you know
and sometimes you take a swim
found your writing on my wall
if my hearts soaking wet
boy your boots can leave a mess

hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we bought could use a friend
to run to
and I thought I wouldn't have to keep
with you
hiding

thought I knew myself so well
all the dolls I had
took my leather off the shelf
your apocalypse was fab
for a girl who couldn't choose between
the shower or the bath

and I thought I wouldn't have to be
with you
a magazine

no one's picking up the phone
guess it's clear he's gone
and this little masochist
is lifting up her dress
guess I thought I could never feel
the things I feel
hey Jupiter

"Putting the Damage On"

glue
stuck to my shoe
does anyone know why you play with an orange rind
you say you packed my things
and divided what was mine you're off to the mountain top
I say her skinny legs could use sun
but now I'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on

don't make me scratch on your door
I never left you
for a banjo
I only just turned around for a poodle
and a corvette
and my impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on

I'm trying not to move
its just your ghost
passing through
I said
I'm trying not to move
its just your ghost passing through
its just your ghost
passing through
and now
I'm quite sure
there's a light in your platoon
I never seen a light move
like yours
can do to me
so now I'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
to me
but I've got a place to go
I've got a ticket to your late show
and now I'm worrying cause even still
you sure are pretty
when you're putting the damage on
yes
when you're putting the damage on
you're just so pretty
when you're putting the damage on

'Caught a Lite Sneeze'

Caught a lite sneeze caught a lite breeze
caught a lightweight lightingseed
boys on my left side
boys on my right side
boys in the middle
and you're not here I need a big loan
from the girl zone

building
tumbling down
didn't know our love was so small
couldn't stand at all
Mr St. John just bring your son

the spire is hot
and my cells can't feed
and you still got Belle dragging your foots
I'm hiding it well Sister Ernestine
but I still got that Belle
dragging my foots

right on time you get closer
and closer
called my name but there's no way in
use that fame
rent your wife and kids today
maybe she will
maybe she will caught a lite sneeze
dreamed a little dream
made my own pretty hate machine
boys on my left side

boys on my right side
boys in the middle and you're not here
boys in their dresses
and you're not here
I need a big loan from the girl zone

 

Buenas tardes amigo
Hola, my good friend
Cinco de Mayo's on Tuesday
And I hoped we'd see each other again

You killed my brother last winter
You shot him three times in the back
In the night I still hear mama weeping
Oh mama still dresses in black

I looked at every fiesta
For you I wanted to greet
Maybe I'd sell you a chicken
With poison interlaced with the meat

You... you look like my brother
Mama loved him the best
He was head honcho with the ladies
Mama always said he was blessed

The village all gathered around him
They couldn't believe what they saw
I said it was you that had killed him
And that I'd find you and upstand the law

The people of the village believed me
Mama... she wanted revenge
I told her I'd see that she was honored
I'd find you and put you to death

So now... now that I've found you
On this such a joyous day
I tell you it was me who killed him
But the truth I'll never have to say

Buenas tardes amigo
Hola, my good friend
Cinco de Mayo's on Tuesday
And I hoped we'd see each other again
Yes, I hoped we'd see each other again
I hoped we'd see each other again

 

I've got some money in my pocket going jing-a-ling-a-ling
Gonna call you up baby, give you a ring.
Everytime I call, I hear the same ol' thing,
Don't give me no huggin' and no kissin' till I get a wedding ring.
My honey my baby, don't put my love on the shelf,
She said, don't hand me no lies and keep your hands to yourself...

 

This is another for Sara, her favorite "A Perfect Circle" song:

Magdalena

Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars

So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your
Holiest of altars

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time

One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my magdalena

I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess

That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black madonna

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time

One taste
One taste
One taste of you my Magdalena

 

"I'll treat you like a lady, here's five dollas"

Treat her like a lady---Daz & Kurupt

 

High and Dry by Radiohead

Two jumps in a week i bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you boy.
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop.
You'd kill yourself for recognition, kill yourself to never ever stop.
You broke another mirror, your turning into something you are not.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry.

Drying up in conversation, you'll be the one who cannot talk.
All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love.
They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out.
They're the ones who'll spit at you, you'll be the one screaming out..

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry.

It's the best thing that you've ever had, the best thing that you've had is gone away.

So don't leave me high, don't leave me dry.

 

2's & 3's by New Found Glory

i sat and stared at the sky.
i knew i'd find myself there again.
i wonder how else to cope with the air.
the air that brings me this luck.
i'm unlucky...that's just me.
seems what used to be has changed.

i feel it coming again,
i feel it coming with the wind.
i feel it coming again,
i feel it breaking with the waves.

and i know,
i won't feel it again if i just played along.
"stupid games are for stupid people"
and they end just like a song.
a song with no beginning.
a song that has no meaning.
just like this one...
