Lyrical Response

[Joe Ferguson forever]

I've never been wrong
But you're the only one I trust to
Show me the way, I always hear your voice
And in my dreams I hear you calling my name

What is it about you?
Some kind of light shines from your face
And I can't turn away

I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken and I've been hypnotized
I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken, I've been hypnotized

[muppy]

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
But long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say

[WhoTom]

Well I ain't often right but I've never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way it does in the song
Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

[muppy]

My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could

 

… I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
'Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

[WhoTom]

Well, I guess I've been in love before
And once or twice I been on the floor
But I never loved no one the way that I love you

[PastaJoe]

I must've been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love

[muppy]

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now

 

Let me go
And I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

[ExiledInIllinois]

Climbing under a barbed wire fence
By the railroad ties
Climbing over the old stone wall
I am bound for the riverside

Well, I go to the river to soothe my mind
Ponder over the crazy days of my life
Just sit and watch the river flow

Find a place on the riverbank
Where the green rushes grow
See the wind in the willow tree
In branches hanging low

Well, I go to the river to soothe my mind
To Ponder over the crazy days in my life
Watch the river flow
Ease my mind and soul
Where I go

Well I will go to the river from time to time
Wander over these crazy days in my mind
Watch the river flow
Where the willow branches grow
By the cool rolling waters
Moving gracefully and slow

Child, it's lovely
Let the river take it all away
The mad pace, the hurry
The troubles, the worries, the worries
Just let the river take them all away
Flow away
Flow away
Oh, oh

[Joe Ferguson forever]

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for

 

[WhoTom]

I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high

[muppy]

Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine

[Bills4everNY]

Pretty soon the sun will be going down

And this little town will be cool and dark

Forget about heaven

Let me stay here forever

In the valley of the thundering hearts

[PastaJoe]

Coming home after school
Flying my bike past the gates of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging out shirts in the dirty breeze
And after it rains there's a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It's not that the colors aren't there
It's just imagination they lack
Everything's the same back in my little town

[ExiledInIllinois]

So you think your schooling is phoney
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say, "It all depends on money
And who is in your family tree"

 

 

[WhoTom]

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?

[PastaJoe]

You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day
Lord, you know it makes me high
When you turn your love my way
Turn your love my way, yeah

 

[muppy]

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

[WhoTom]

I hear the horses thunder,
Down in the valley below.
I'm waitin' for the Angels of Avalon,
Waitin' for the eastern glow.

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here

[SinceThe70s]

Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least
That half a brain would get the message
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand new car
