Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air

[OGTEleven]

Ah, the dying young
Well I'm not done
You watch me and I'll watch thee
I can still work for two men
And drink for three

And I raise my flask
To the clearing skies
To you, sweepers
You carrion spies
To scavenge and survive
If you can do it so can I

[muppy]

Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice

Not begging you
I'm telling you

You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies

[WhoTom]

Said, Sugar, take the time 'cause the lights are shinin' bright
You and I got what it takes

To make it
We won't fake it

I'll never break it,

'cause I can't take it

[Joe Ferguson forever]

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips
He never really liked me anyway

Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not okay
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me one-day

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooh

[PastaJoe]

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

[SinceThe70s]

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day
When the New York Times said, "God is dead
And the war's begun"

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Why don't we stop foolin' ourselves?
The game is over, over, over
No good times, no bad times
There's no times at all
Just The New York Times
Sittin' on the windowsill
Near the flowers

We might as well be apart
It hardly matters, we sleep separately
And drop a smile passin' in the hall
But there's no laughs left
'Cause we laughed them all
And we laughed them all
In a very short time

Time is tapping on my forehead
Hangin' from my mirror
Rattlin' the teacups
And I wonder-

[SinceThe70s]

Is this all that's left
Of my life before me

Straight jacket memories, sedative highs

 

No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me

 

And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies

[Bill from NYC]

Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama happy
Never blew a second chance, oh no

 

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy

[muppy]

So I took a big chance
At the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Just gimme a kiss

Like this

[Joe Ferguson forever]

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees...

 

[WhoTom]

But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning around

[LeviF]

I'm a cynic, I told you, I fear what I don't believe
I don't know what this is, but this is a different beast
I check the lock on the door three times
Can't put my faith in what I can't describe
I'm a cynic, I told you, I don't believe

 

Can you save me?

 

Oh, clean eyes
Breaking my heart in all the right ways
And no, I don't mind, clean eyes

[muppy]

I
Can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to, oh I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail, on dry land tell 'em yeah
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you

I can't get next to you, babe (next to you)
I can't get next to you (I just can't get next you)
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you

 

[WhoTom]

You set sail across the sea
Of long past thoughts and memories
Childhood's end your fantasies
Merge with harsh realities

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these to remember you
Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day, when I called you mine

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh, how I loved you then

Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldn't say goodbye
And of all of the things that we knew
Not a dream survived

[muppy]

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

[Joe Ferguson forever]

I
Like dreamin' 'cause dreamin' can make you mine.
I like dreamin', closing my eyes and feeling fine.
When the lights go down, I'm holding you so tight.
Got you in my arms and it's paradise 'til the morning light.

I see us on the shore beneath the bright sunshine.
We've walked along St. Thomas beach a million times.

Hand in hand, two barefoot lovers kissing in the sand.
Side by side, the tide rolls in.
I'm touching you, you're touching me.
If only it could be.

[PastaJoe]

When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beat time with my breathin'

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
