Lyrical Response

[DD4Bills]

Every day we're standing
In a time capsule
Racing down a river from the past
Every day we're standing
In a wind tunnel
Facing down the future coming fast

 

It's just the age
It's just a stage
We disengage
We turn the page

[PastaJoe]

It was late in December, the sky turned to snow
All round the day was going down slow
Night like a river beginning to flow
I felt the beat of my mind go
Drifting into time passages
Years go falling in the fading light
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

[muppy]

December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing
 

[PastaJoe]

Oh, what a night
Late December back in sixty three
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night

Oh, what a night, you know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night

[muppy]

Lady
I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am, and
I am yours

[DD4Bills]

Lady, when you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I'm sinking
Just touch me and my troubles all fade
Lady, from the moment I saw you
Standing all alone
You gave all the love that I needed
So shy, like a child who has grown

[PastaJoe]

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
And I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time

I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed (just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

[muppy]

Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on
Yeah but if you want it, well you can bleed on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on
Yeah yeah and if you want it baby why don't ya
You can bleed on me
All over, hoo

[PastaJoe]

Man got his woman to take his seed
He got the power, oh
She got the need
She spends her life through
Pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner or anything she can

She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all

Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

[DD4Bills]

Beth, I hear you calling
But I can't come home right now
Me and the boys are playing
And we just can't find the sound

 

Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling

[muppy]

I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
And now you're telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking, but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you been, oh yeah

[PastaJoe]

Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door

[Pecos Bills]

Did you leave your house in order, when you came for me?
Is this really where you meant to be?

Just beyond your limits, find the new frontier
I live in the darkness, it's dark in here

[technobot]

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

 

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

 

And I've been a fool and I've been blind (I've been blind)
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

 

All of his questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

 

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

[muppy]

I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet

I wanna know that you'll tell me
"I love to stay"

 

Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
And wash him down, washing me down
Down

[LeviF]

She's a rebel child and a preacher's daughter

She was baptized in dirty water

Her mama cried the first time they caught her with me

They knew they couldn't stop her

 

She holds tight to me and the Bible

On the back seat of my motorcycle

Left her daddy standin' there preachin' to the choir, you see

God love her

[PastaJoe]

So young to be loose and on her own
Young boys they all want to take her home
When she comes downtown the boys all stop and stare
When she comes 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

[muppy]

All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick (Oh-way-oh)
They're falling down like a domino
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (Oh-way-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Way-oh-way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)

Walk like an Egyptian
 

[PastaJoe]

Don't wannna discuss it
Think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
Start thinkin' that I'm strange
In that case I'll go underground
Get some
Heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst or what is best

Oh oh Domino
"It's all right"
Roll me over, Romeo
There you go
"Lord, have mercy"
I said oh-oh, Domino
