Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

The grass ain't greener
The wine ain't sweeter
Either side of the hill.

[gdabillsfan]

Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone, souls and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you
 

[SinceThe70s]

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's heaven and hell

[muppy]

What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret

 

[PastaJoe]

There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room

In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
In my room

[Bill from NYC]

Tell me lies later, come and see me
I'll be around for a while
I am lonely but you can free me
All in the way that you smile

Tell me why
Tell me why

Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
When you're old enough to repay but young enough to sell?

[SinceThe70s]

Now he's too old to rock and roll
But he's too young to die

[muppy]

 

Just take those old records off the shelf

I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself

Today's music ain't got the same soul

I like that old time rock 'n' roll

 

[SinceThe70s]

 

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day

And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf

[Just Jack]

All you do to me is talk, talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk

[PastaJoe]

It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
It's so funny, why we don't talk anymore?
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
Oh, we don't talk, ooh

[Just Jack]

Do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore?
Do you sleep, do you count sheep anymore?
 

[PastaJoe]

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bed sitter people look back and lament
Another days useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

 

[SinceThe70s]

Massive killer orb hovering around
Looking for a spot to blast the good guys on the ground before they know
What hit them from above
 

[muppy]

Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
They showed you a statue and told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
But they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done...
Only the good die young
 

[gdabillsfan]

We are the priests
Of the temples of syrinx
Our great computers
Fill the hollowed halls
We are the priests
Of the temples of syrinx
All the gifts of life
Are held within our walls
 

[WhoTom]

She started dancin' to that fine, fine music
You know her life is saved by rock 'n' roll
Despite all the computations
You could just dance to that rock 'n' roll station
 

[muppy]

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me
And then spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again

[Just Jack]

Oh, but I know a place where we can go
Still untouched by man
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass waves in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence

[gdabillsfan]

Icy wind of night, be gone
This is not your domain
In the sky a bird was heard to cry
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds
Belied a deathly silence that lay all around

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox gone to ground
