Love and hate get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day
Let it fade
Who was there to take your place

No one knows never will
Mostly me but mostly you
What do you say
Do you do when it all comes down

'Cause I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need
I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this all this time

There is no blame
Only shame
When you beg you just complain
The more I come the more I try
All police are paranoid

So am I
So's the future
So are you
Be a creature
What do you say
Do you do when it all comes down

'Cause I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need
I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this all this time

Shoot up
Shoot up
Shoot up
You're high

Love and hate get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day
Let it fade
Who was there to take your place

No one knows
Never will
Mostly me but mostly you
What do you say
Do you do when it all comes down

'Cause I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need
I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this all this time

Why did you
Why did you
Why did you
Why did you
Why did you
Why did you
Why did you
Why did you
Why did you come down
I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
This cloud, this cloud, this cloud, this cloud, this cloud, this cloud, this cloud, this cloud, this cloud

Rosaries left under the mattress of the memories who could bear the witness

As you slip into oblivion, use it like a weapon
Am I left to bleed, waiting for the moment when you've had your fun
A loaded gun

Take away your broken misery, cannot wait to waste your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of

Can't resist poisoning the message
Just a narcissist trapped inside the wreckage
And the sympathy I had is gone deadened by the ceremony
Drama queen stand behind your rampart as your kingdom falls, all because

Take away your broken misery, cannot wait to waste your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me

Your rescue, my undo
I'm not the one to save you
I'm empty completely
I'm drowning in your shadow

Take away your broken misery, cannot wait to waste your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of

Can't chase away your ghost, inside it only grows
Nothing left but misery
This will be the end of me
All the shit that you created, all the scars you celebrated
Couldn't take away your pain
Couldn't resurrect your name
This love will be the end of me, this love will be the end.

 

Kiss me once
And kiss me twice
And kiss me once again
It’s been a long, long time.

Haven’t felt like this my dear
Since, can’t remember when
It’s been a long, long time...

 

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly
Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly
You know I like dancin' with you
Dancin' with you
C'mon
Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly
Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me
C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly

 

I don't really like myself without you
Every song I sing is still about you
Save me from myself the way you used to

 

“L’ eggo my Eggo, set it free,
Don’t break up our family.”

(that was out of left field ha was an old commercial TV jingle for Kellogg’s Eggo Waffles in the 70s
The 70s were great if you were a little kid)

 

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories

Time after sometimes you picture me,
I'm walkin' too far ahead
You're callin' to me, I can't hear what you've said
Then you say, "go slow"
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

 

If everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarache sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U. S. A.

(inside, outside US A...)

—The Beach Boys, 1961

 

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name.

You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name.

 

Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well
Might as well, might as well, might as well, might as well
Might as well, might as well, miiight, as well

 

Cheers!!!!!!

 

If I could catch a star before it touched the ground
I'd place it in a box, tie ribbons all around
And then I'd offer it to you
A token of my love and deep devotion
The world's a better place
With you to turn to
I'm a better man
For having loved you

And now, at last, I face the future unafraid
With you here by my side, how fast the shadows fade
And there is hope inside my heart
Cause I have something wonderful to live for
The world's a better place
With you to turn to
I'm a better man
For having loved you

And as I am today
That's how 'll always stay
A better man for having loved you
A better man for having loved you

The world's a better place
With you to turn to
I'm a better man
For having loved you
And as I am today
That's how I'll always stay
A better man for having loved you
A better man for having loved you

If I could catch a star before it touched the ground
I'd place it in a box, tie ribbons all around
And then I'd offer it to you

​

 

You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause

You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

And don't tell me what to do
Oh, don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

I don't tell you what to say
Oh, don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel came pumping on my floor
She said come on baby, I got a license for love
And if it expires, pray help from above, because

In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the midnight hour babe more, more, more
With a rebel yell more, more, more
More, more, more!

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sleeps in bed
What sets you free and brought you to me, babe
What sets you free, I need you here by me, because

In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the midnight hour babe more, more, more
With a rebel yell more, more, more

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well, he's out all night to collect a fare
Just as long, just as long it don't mess up his hair

I walked the world for you, babe
A thousand miles for you
I dried your tears, of pain, babe
A million times, for you

I'd sell my soul, for you, babe
For money to burn, for you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Just to, just to, just to, just to, to have you here by me, because

In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the midnight hour babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
More, more, more!

Ooh yeah, little baby
She want more
More, more, more, more, more!
Ooh yeah, little angel
She want more
More, more, more, more, more!

Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don't care,
Saw my baby down by the river, knew she'd have to come up soon for air.

Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if you'll abide
We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside.

She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed

She comes skimmin' through rays of violet, she can wade in a drop of dew,
She don't come and I don't follow, waits backstage while I sing to you.

Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm, jump like a willys in four wheel drive.
She's a summer love for spring, fall and winter. She can make happy any man alive.

Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight, come on out singing
I'll walk you in the sunshine, come on honey, come along with me.

She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight, lazing in the sunshine yes
indeed.

Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying, when the moon is half way down,
Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander
'round.

Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes
Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely,
Ride our singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine, daydream. Sunshine, daydream. Walking in the sunshine.

 

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

You, who choose to lead, must follow
But if you fall you fall alone.
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

La dee da da da,
La da da da da,
Da da da, da da, da da da da da
La da da da,
La da da, da da,
La da da da,
La da, da da.

 

Ugh! This one has been looping in my head all morning for some reason, so I gotta put it out there. lol

What are you looking at?

Strike a pose

Strike a pose
Vogue (vogue, vogue)
Vogue (vogue, vogue)

Look around, everywhere you turn is heartache
It's everywhere that you go (look around)
You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know (life that you know)
When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It's called a dance floor
And here's what it's for, so

Come on, vogue (vogue)
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue (vogue)
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
You know you can do it

 

Everybody's talkin at me. I don't hear a word they're sayin. Only the echoes of my mind. People stoppin, starin. I can't see their faces. Only the shadows of their eyes. I'm goin where the sun keeps shinin. Through the pourin rain. Goin where the weather suits my clothes.

 

...a friend of the devil is a friend of mine, if I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep toniii,iiight
