Another year
Who will care if we fall through the gutter?
And as far as I can tell no one will shed a tear
When we’re all done talking
That’s when we’re done ourselves
When all the big shots in the world
Have grown above their own heads
When we are all done shaking the dollar bills in our hands
When all the big shots in the world
Get time measured in sand
Who will care if we fall through the gutter?
And as far as I can tell no one will shed a tear
Tell me who will care when we break our arms and our legs
As far as I can tell no one really cares
I feel so stressed out
Trying to get as much as I can
It’s either all or nothing
And everything is part of that plan
How could I not get it?
The bill never seemed to add up
If I shut down the traffic
Traffic shouldn’t try to catch up
I’m trying so hard to wake up
This bill doesn’t seem to add up
Blanket of sorrow
It’s cold out here this Christmas
One pair of eyes are missing
Are you still there or are you at all?
We all know there are still tomorrows
We all know the blanket of sorrow
Are you still there are you at all?
I can see the open space
Can you hear me calling?
I cannot hear your voice
but I remember the laughter
I would give all that I have
Just to be with you
It’s cold out here this Christmas
One pair of eyes are missing
We all know there are still tomorrows
We all know the blanket of sorrow
Are you still there are you at all?
Drown in slow motion
Standing in my way like I’m used to
Hoping that there’s some other way I’ll drown
Standing in my way like I’m used to
Waiting for the moment my head hits the ground
Your skin a safety boat
Your voice a warming coat
Can I breathe through your lungs?
Behind us a raging storm
Standing in my way like I’m used to
Hoping that there’s some other way I’ll drown
Standing in my way like I’m used to
Waiting for the moment my head hits the ground
Oh my sailor say goodnight
Close your eyes and just let go
We drown in slow motion
Take my hand
The hand I take
The hand you break
Stormy ocean, how many sailors drown in slow motion?
I see the wailor
I
Pull me out of bed I’m so sore headed
Body parts on flames and the trapdoor’s damaged
Pull me out of bed I’m so sore headed
Body parts on flames and the trapdoor’s damaged
I freeze inside myself
I set fire to my soul tonight
Human, sizzling goat head
You’ve come to collect me tonight
Playing with carbon and hydrogen
Though cold I’m burning inside
I’m burning inside
I freeze inside myself
I set fire to my soul tonight
Home
I’ve raised my daughter and I told her
“Don’t bother pleasing them. I’ve gotten tired but I’ve got the shoulders to say no to this”
Home is where I’ll raise again
All I know is that home is where I’ll be whole
I’ve come a long way and I get the shivers
Thinking about the wounds that I’ve had and the wounds that are about heal
Home is where I go when the horizon closes upon me
Home is where I’ll raise
All I know is home is where I’ll be whole
My timeline is the road I’ll walk along
Until then life is a one shot for sure
Blood streaming
My heart beating
Head dreaming
My heart beating
Inside your lungs superstar
It’s your birthday
Down we go
Down down down
Like a downer movie
It’s only a show
I will be following you on Instagram
Take a look at yourself
In your beautiful mirror
We were planning on drinking that champagne tonight
What a beautiful sight
You are wearing your smile
It’s time to celebrate your name tonight
Take a look at yourself
In your beautiful mirror
You are floating on the screens tonight
Like a million pictures
No need to be yourself around here
There’s no need
It was love
I’m tripping over the things you said
The orchestra is playing another love song
All this urban wilderness soon will be getting to my head
Love, I knew it was love
Though I could not hear a sound
I knew that I was well found
I walked down to the edge with you
The cars were driving by
Love, I knew it was love
Let’s run to the edge of the kickboard
Let’s jump into the sea
We’ll swim across the ocean
Then we will disappear
Love, I knew it was love
Once
You once were a child
Once had a future
You were once were so small
Where is your mother?
You once had a dream
Once had a future
You always stood tall
Where is your mother now?
It’s a different time
Don’t own any key to any door
Don’t own any shoes to walk on the floor
Don’t own no house
Don’t own no car
Don’t own anything at all
Don’t know where I got to go now?
Don’t know what I ought to do?
You once had a dream
You once had a future
Where is your father?
So where is your mother and your father who put you into this?
Don’t know where I’ve got to go?
Don’t know what I ought to do?
Does it really matter?
On your own again
When you get there in your garden
You have another cigarette
Oh you’re having another dream about
When you are sailing on the water
And I am not there to be found with you
You are on your own again
I’ve been following you many days
I’m driving in the car behind you
Oh you’re having another cigarette
You are out there on your own
on the streets again
My lover what can we do now?
So many years have passed we’re through now.
Having that dream
Having that dream again
On your own my friend…
That’s my rock and roll
He’s got his will on his side
Backbone in his thighs
He’s got wearing his heart in his sleeve
What a relieve
He’s got to break and shake
That’s my rock and roll
Oh won’t you break and shake me tonight
Waited for days
Still in a haze
He’s got me longing for more
I always want more
He’s got to break and shake
That’s my rock and roll
Oh won’t you break and shake me tonight
rock and roll won’t you come and save me tonight
Cause I’m waiting for you
Won’t you come and save me tonight?
I said rock and roll won’t you come and take me tonight?
Cause I’m waiting for you
He’s standing in the doorway
With his back on the floor
Promise me you won’t sleep till late
With music in his heart
Under the rainbow
It was under the rainbow
It was under the stars that he walked by me
It was under the rainbow
There were thunders and rain
He walked right through my face
Walked right through my hair
And I heard angels sing
Can the birds and the bees
Tell the seas and the trees
That he waved to say hello
To the rulers and kings
To the makers of storm
He walked right through my skin
Washed away all my sins
I heard angels sing
Angels…
It was under the rainbow
Under the snow
Here I endure the winter
Waiting for your return
Here, deep down in the dark
I rest my tired heart
I am too tired to sleep, too cold to move on
And follow you back into the gleam
So I lay under the snow
Where love cannot grow
Will someone please defreeze this water?
The snow is playing its trick
Footsteps I cannot read
Here deep down in the dark
I rest my tired eyes
They are too blind to see and I’m too weak to move on
And follow you back into the gleam
So I lay under the snow
Where love cannot grow
Will someone please defreeze this water?
Follow you back
Back into the gleam
I’ll follow you back
Back into the gleam…
