Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

In my little town
I grew up believing
God keeps his eye on us all
And he used to lean upon me
As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord, I recall my little town

[muppy]

Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic, that's me

[WhoTom]

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you

Well you're the real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up you dukes, let's get down to it

 

[Bills4everNY]

When she's at a party

She will flirt from boy to boy

And she'll never settle

Till her heart is filled with joy

My girl, she's smart 

She's never ever gonna give her heart and she's wise

She's got hearts in her eyes

[WhoTom]

She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you

 

[PastaJoe]

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Ooh, yes I do, oh

[DD4Bills]

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

[WhoTom]

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms

[muppy]

If I had just one wish, only one demand
I hope he's not like me, I hope he understands
That he can take this life and hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world with arms wide open

[PastaJoe]

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves

 

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company

[Bills4everNY]

I made an American squirm

And it felt so right

On the screen was a musical worm

Deep, deep, into the night

Yes I was living in a wonderful world

Everything was fine

Trying to mate in a horrible state

Deep, deep, into the night

It goes on and on and on 

[PastaJoe]

My love is running deeper than the night
Stronger than the north wind blowing
It's a fire burning bright
And it's always been this way

[DD4Bills]

I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way (born this way)

 

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way (born this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Right track, baby, I was born this way

[muppy]

In the day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
Yes, girl, we were

[SinceThe70s]

Wine is fine, but whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor

[PastaJoe]

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drank it, she said

Take the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl

[muppy]

She goes downtown
The boys all stop and stare
When she goes downtown
She walks like she just don't care, yeah

Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty, yeah
Hot child in the city

[Bill from NYC]

You played hookie from school and you can't go out to play, yeah
Mama said, for the rest of the week, in your room you gotta stay, yeah
Oh ho, now you feel like the whole world's pickin' on you
But deep down inside, you know it ain't true
You're in punishment
'Cause your mother wants to raise you in the right way, yeah
But you don't care
'Cause you already made up your mind you wanna run away yeah
You're on your way, runaway child, running wild
Runaway child running wild
Better go back home where you belong

[muppy]

Make up your mind
Let me live or let me love you
While you've been saving your neck
I've been breaking mine for you
The power is on, the guillotine hums
My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh
Make up your mind
Before I make it up for you
