Of the Greek and his Italian girl One Sunday at the shore We tied our ribbons to the fire escape They were taken by the birds Who flew home to the country As the bombs rained on the world Five AM Here I am Walking the block to Table Talk You could cry or die or just make pies all day I'm making pies Making pies I'm making pies Making pies

All you kids get out the back door I've never seen her this mad before She took all her favorite things down from the window And broke them all over her clean floor It's Saturday at the mansion The oldest boy walks with a slouch The young ones are wild in back of the house And she gave up and went back to sleep on the couch Something as simple as boys and girls Gets tossed all around and lost in the world Something as hard as a prayer on your back Can wait a long time For an answer When I was little I'd stare at her picture And talk to the mother of God I swear sometimes I'd see her lips move Like she was trying to say something to me When I was eighteen I moved to Florida Like everyone sick of the cold does And I waited on old people waiting to die I waited on them until I was Something as simple as boys and girls Gets tossed all around and lost in the world Something as hard as a prayer on your back Can wait a long time For an answer So I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor One day I won't live here anymore And someone will wonder who lived here before And went on their way I live too many miles from the ocean And I'm getting older and odd I get up every morning with my cup of coffee And I talk to the mother of God Something as simple as boys and girls Gets tossed all around and lost in the world Something as hard as a prayer on your back Can wait a long time For an answer Can wait a long time For an answer Maybe it's alright Maybe we won't fight anymore Maybe love is waiting at the end of every road I don't know I don't know But maybe Maybe it's alright

Chief had been out of the army For fifteen years or more He was still marching up and down that street Just like he was walking to war They called him Chief 'cause he was Indian It was a name they said behind his back In the summer he'd march without any shoes Till the soles of his feet turned black Till the soles of his feet turned black His hands wouldn't work the machinery Cause his brain told them what to say It's a helluva life but it's somebody's life Up and down the street all day Honey, I've been put through the paces Running like a dog on a track The wheels keep it going as fast as you get there But you don't ever get to go back I don't really know what I'm doing Just watching myself in some play And the actress looks like she wants to go home And lie in a bed all day Yeah, lie in a big bed all day Her hands wouldn't work the machinery Cause his brain tells them what to say It's a hell of a life but it's somebody's life Up and down the street all day But I wish that you could see me When I'm flying in my dreams The way I laugh there way up high The way I look when I fly The way I laugh The way I fly Chief got out of the army Jesus went to live with the poor I'm still marching up and down that street I don't know what I'm doing that for I don't know what I'm doing that for I don't know what I'm doing that for

(Written by Bruce Springsteen ) I met a little girl and I settled down In a little house out on the edge of town We got married, swore we'd never part Then little by little we drifted from each other's hearts At first I thought it was just restlessness That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep In the end it was something more, I guess Tore us apart and made us weep I'm driving a stolen car down on Eldridge Avenue Each night I wait to get caught But I never do She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote When our love was young and bold She said last night she read those letters And they made her feel one hundred years old I'm driving a stolen car on a pitch black night And I'm telling myself it's gonna be alright I drive by night and I travel in fear That in this darkness I will disappear

All the girls in the Paris night All the girls in the pale moonlight All the girls with the shopping bags All the girls with the washing rags All the girls on the telephones All the girls standing all alone All the girls sitting on the wires Who one by one fly into the fire Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me All the girls standing by your beds All the girls standing on their heads All the girls with the broken arms All the girls with the deadly charms All the girls in the restaurants Pretending to be nonchalant Funny girls on the TV shows Close your eyes and they turn to snow Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me All the girls working overtime Telling you everything is fine All the girls in the beauty shops Girls tongues catching the raindrops All the girls that you'll never see Forever a mystery All the girls with their secret ways All the girls who have gone astray Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me Be careful how you bend me Be careful with me

Long black limousine Shiniest car I've ever seen The back seat is nice and clean She rides as quiet as a dream Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud With me riding in this car and you flying through them clouds I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home One day I took your tiny hand Put your finger in the wedding band Your daddy gave a piece of land We made ourselves the best of plans Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home Headlights searching down the driveway The house is dark as it can be I go inside and all is silent And seems as empty as the inside of me I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long, on the long Oh the long, on the long Ride home

Well he jumps in the taxi for the sky He's off to slay some demon dragonfly And he looks at me that long last time Turns away again and I waved goodbye In an envelope inside his coat Is a chain I wore around my throat Along with a note I wrote Said I love you but I don't even know why But darling I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I just had this secret hope Sometimes all we do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying Well a long night turns into a couple long years Of me walking around and round this trail of tears Where the very loud voices of my own fear Ringing and ringing in my ear It says that love is long gone Every move I make is all wrong Says you never gave a damn for me Or anything or anyone But darling, I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I just had this secret hope Sometimes all we do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying May you dream you are dreaming in a warm soft bed And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread Make the sounds of thousands of angels instead Tonight where you might be laying your head I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I'll still have this secret hope Sometimes all I do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying Nobody's crying Nobody's crying

(As performed by Bob Dylan) Tomorrow night Will you remember what you said tonight? Tomorrow night Will all the thrill be gone? Tomorrow night Will this be just another memory? Or just another song That's in my heart to linger on? Your lips are so tender Your heart is beating fast As you willingly surrender To be my darling at last Tomorrow night Will you be with me when the moon is bright? Tomorrow night Will you say those lovely things you said tonight? Your lips are so tender Your heart is beating fast As you willingly surrender To be my darling at last Tomorrow night Will you be with me when the moon is bright? Tomorrow night Will you say those lovely things you said tonight? Tomorrow night Will you say those lovely things you said tonight?

He encontrado en tu amor, la fe perdida, es por eso que mi vida tiene una razón . No sé si fue el embrujo de tus ojos, que le dijo a tus labios, Róbale el corazón. O todos los mil besos que te he dado en la boca se me fue el corazón; si dicen que es pecado querer como te quiero, Quizás tengan razón. Pero que ha de importarme de todo lo que digan, si no te me olvidas; si es pecando amarte, yo seguiré pecan, porque no he de negar. Te seguiri queriendo, te seguiri adorando aunque me vuelva loca. Hasta que me devuelvas el corazón con besos yo te dé en la boca. English Translation: I found my lost faith in your love, And now my life has meaning. I don't know if it was the spell of your eyes When I took your lips That stole my heart... Or all the thousand kisses That I have laid upon your lips When my heart left me If they say it's a sin to love you the way I do Perhaps they are right. But more important than what they say Is that you not forget me So if I have sinned in loving you I will continue sinning, and never be ashamed. I will keep on loving you, keep on adoring you Until I go mad, Or until you return my heart and the thousand kisses That I placed upon your lips. I know that the thousand kisses That I placed upon your lips, Was when my heart left me. If they say it's a sin to love you the way I do, Perhaps they are right. But more important than what they say Is that you not forget me. So if I have sinned in loving you, I will continue sinning and never be ashamed. I will keep on loving you, keep on adoring you Until I go mad... Or until you return my heart And the thousand kisses that I placed upon your lips.

To the end of the earth I search for your face For the one who laid all of our beauty to waste Threw our hope into hell and our children to the fire I am the one who crawled through the wire I am the one who crawled through the wire There's a million sad stories on the side of the road Strange how we all just got used to the blood Millions of stories that'll never be told Silent and froze in the mud Silent and froze in the mud I know a cold as cold as it gets I know a darkness that's darker than coal A wind that blows as cold as it gets Blew out the light of my soul Blew out the light of my soul I dream in my sleep I dream in my days Of some sunny street not so far away Where up in a window a curtain will sway And you and I'll meet down below You and I'll meet down below I know a cold as cold as it gets I fight a war I may never see won I live only to see you live to regret Everything that you've done Everything that you've done Everything that you've done

The Sunday after there was laughter in the air Everybody had a kite They were flying everywhere And all the trouble went away And it wasn't just a dream All the trouble went away And it wasn't just a dream In the middle of the night We try and try with all our might To light a little light down here In the middle of the night We dream of a million kites Flying high above the sadness and the fear Little sister, just remember As you wander through the blue The little kite that you sent flying on a Sunday afternoon Made of something light as nothing Made of joy that matters too How the little dreams we dream Are all we can really do In the middle of the night The world turns with all its might A little diamond, colored blue In the middle of the night We keep sending little kites Until a little light gets through

Say goodbye to the old street that never cared much for you anyway And the different colored doorways you thought would let you in one day Goodbye to the old bus stop, frozen and waiting The Weekend Edition has this town way overrated You walk across the baseball green, the grass has turned to straw A flock of birds tries to fly away from where you are Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend, I can't make you stay I can't spend another ten years wishing you would anyway How the sky turns to fire against a telephone wire And even I'm getting tired of useless desires Every day I take a bitter pill, it gets me on my way For the little aches and pains, the ones I have from day to day To help me think a little less about the things I miss To help me not to wonder how I ended up like this I walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty train With a million other faces I shoot through the city veins Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend, you wanted to be free Somewhere beyond the bitter end is where I want to be How the sky turns to fire against a telephone wire And even I'm getting tired of useless desires Say goodbye to the old building that never tried to know your name Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend, you won't be seeing me again Goodbye to all the window panes shining in the sun Like diamonds on a winter day Goodbye, goodbye to everyone How the sky turns to fire against a telephone wire It burns the last of the day down And I'm the last one hanging around waiting on a train track And the train never comes back And even I'm getting tired of useless desires

I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus the way the my wife does I wished it had been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud But that won't happen now, that won't happen now There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow I think I broke the wings off that little songbird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now To the top of the world I don't have to answer any of these questions Don't have no god to teach me no lessons I'd come home in the evening Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I stayed right there In my chair There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow I think I broke the wings off that little songbird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now To the top of the world I wish I'd have known you I wish I'd have shown you All of the things I was on the inside But I'd pretend to be sleeping When you'd come in in the morning To whisper goodbye and Go to work in the rain Now I don't know why I don't know why Cause everyone's singing, we just wanna be heard Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow I wanna grab a hold of that little songbird Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now To the top of the world To the top of the world.....

As I row, row, row Going so slow, slow, slow Just down below me is the old sea Just down below me is the old sea Nobody knows, knows, knows So many things, things, so So out of range Sometimes so strange Sometimes so sweet Sometimes so lonely The further I go More letters from home never arrive And I'm alone All of the way All of the way Alone and alive Just have to go, go, go Where I don't know, know, know This is the thing Somebody said Somebody told me A long time ago The further I go More letters from home never arrive And I'm alone All of the way All of the way Alone and alive As I row, row, row Going so slow, slow, slow Just down below me is the old sea Just down below me is the old sea

Red lights are flashing on the highway I wonder if we're gonna ever get home I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight Everywhere the water's getting rough Your best intentions may not be enough I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight But if you break down I'll drive out and find you If you forget my love I'll try to remind you And stay by you When it don't come easy I don't know nothing except change will come Year after year what we do is undone Time gets moving from a crawl to a run I wonder if we're gonna ever get home You're out there walking down a highway And all of the signs got blown away Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction But if you break down I'll drive out and find you If you forget my love I'll try to remind you And stay by you When it don't come easy When it don't come easy So many things that I had before Just don't matter to me now Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost And the love I've never found And when the last bird falls And the last siren sounds Someone will say what's been said before It's only love we were looking for When you break down I'll drive out and find you When you forget my love I'll try to remind you And stay by you When it don't come easy When it don't come easy

La la la la la la..... Couple of young girls went Sailing down A1A Into the arms of Florida Sailing down a highway Singing their heads off Protected by the Holy Ghost Flying in from the ocean Driving with their eyes closed The night wants to kiss you deep and be on his way Pretend he don't know you the very next day Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely? How I still hang around here And there's nothing to hold me You slide down into the seat From twelve hours on your feet Get the tide to wash you away For thousands and thousands of days And someone you never meet Signs a check you get every week You try and still can't forget All the strangers that you've met The night never owed you nothing anyway Makes promises that he never intends to keep everyday Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely? How I still hang around here And there's nothing to hold me Everytime, every year The travelers come and go You see them landing with their pale wings And flying back to the snow And the summer comes marching in With his heavy boots on Kicking along the backtop Sidewalks of A1A The young girls in their bare feet Cigarettes smoking Looking every which way Wishing and hoping And you want the night just to let you sleep and be on his way Wrap you up in some cool sheets and have nothing to say Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely? How I still hang around here And there's nothing to hold me Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely? How I still hang around here And there's nothing to hold me La la la la la la.....

Tonight I sing soft and low Just like the moon over the snow I hear icicles falling in the dark In the dark We're just like anyone else We just want a little bit of sun for ourselves And a little bit of rain to make it all grow Maybe a minute or two to get lost in the glow of love There's always someone throwing matches around Waving the shiny new knife The first to run when the house burns down I've seen it every day of my life I must confess there appears to be Way more darkness than light I want to fall like a pearl to the bottom of the sea Where no one will find us tonight Tonight it might look pretty bad We might lose everything we thought that we had But shadows will pass Smoke, it will clear If something survives of us around here I'll be glad 'cause I know I was lost in the glow of love

Little old man, little old man staring down the road Waiting on the bus, he's getting kinda cold Bus finally gets there, he got nowhere to sit down And the driver said, "You can stand right here behind me or wait for the next one to come around" And the old man says, "That's okay, I'll stand I might look like a little old man to you But I've been riding this bus for years and years and years I don't even know where it's going to" And the driver says, "You don't know where this bus is going to?"

Oh, there he is Hey, old man, old man, old man, you still don't know?" And the old man says, "No, I don't son, but I'm happy to go" Hey, "I'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere" Hey, he said, "I'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere I was born with no name, knowing nothing, still I don't Somebody said, 'You need a name, I'm gonna give you a name' And I said, 'No, you won't,' I said, 'No, you won't'" Oh, "You can let me off here, son, thank you for the ride" And the driver said, "This is the middle of nowhere, sir," He pulls off to the side And the old man says, "It might look that way to you, maybe it is" Old man says, "It might look that way to you, son, maybe it is," And he says, "Stay on the ride, it's gonna take you somewhere," Hey, hey, he said, "Stay on the ride, it's gonna take you somewhere Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere It always takes you somewhere, gotta take you somewhere It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere"

You took a silver train all the way to Maine On the way to everything Railroad wings There's things you don't know you know I thought anger told me what to do With emptiness chasing me On the border, I found you You should've heard her sing Railroad wings This emptiness has followed me like a cold blue sky And it has not been easy for you There's things I'll never tell you till the day I die Things I've done I can never undo Hiding everything Railroad wings All these years along, the lights are growing dim I hear you sing your song in the next room And as far as I can tell, most everything means nothing Except some things that mean everything Railroad wings

I went up to the mountain Because you asked me to Up over the clouds To where the sky was blue I could see all around me Everywhere I could see all around me Everywhere Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothing but tired And I'll be walking Till the day I expire Sometimes I lay down No more can I do But then I go on again Because you ask me to Some days I look down Afraid I will fall And though the sun shines I see nothing at all Then I hear your sweet voice, oh Oh, come and then go, come and then go Telling me softly You love me so The peaceful valley Just over the mountain The peaceful valley Few come to know I may never get there Ever in this lifetime But sooner or later It's there I will go Sooner or later It's there I will go

I'm no kid in a kid's game I did what I did, I've got no one to blame But I don't give up, no, I don't ever give up It's all I've got, it's my claim to fame I'm no fighter but I'm fighting This whole world seems uninviting But I don't give up, no, I don't ever give up I fall down sometimes, sometimes I come back flying Liars are lying, airplanes are flying Love isn't here, love isn't here But it's somewhere Time to forget me, but something won't let me Love isn't here, love isn't here But it's somewhere And I cleaned and I washed up This dream I don't ever give up I don't ever give up, I don't ever give up No, I don't ever give up, no, I don't ever give up No, I don't ever give up, I don't ever give up

Have you ever been baptized in the cool winter water On a Sunday morning when the sky was gray? You filed out of the churchyard, so cold it was silver To gold, tan, and blue cars, and the cars drove away All the memories fade, send the ghosts on their way Tell them they've had their day, it's someone else's tomorrow The tall and the tiny ships on the water Farther and farther, floating away Will never return now, all wooden and burned out They echo and groan now in their salty graves All the memories fade, send the the ghosts on their way Tell them they've had their day, it's someone else's tomorrow Someone else's tomorrow

Light it up, baby, light up that fire I don't know what's gonna save me from the cold now And these sorrows I'm crying over And these sorrows I'm crying over Embrace me, embrace me with your kind love It's all I've ever wanted, all I've ever dreamed of And all of this dreaming of silver and gold Is something to break this winter so cold And these sorrows I'm crying over And these sorrows I'm crying over We go straight for the thunder, straight for the rain Love leaves a mark and love leaves a strain Back in the saddle again and again Millions of eyes and none of them friends You better light it up, baby, you better light up that fire Cause I don't know what's gonna save me from the cold now From these sorrows I'm crying over From these sorrows I'm crying over From these sorrows I'm crying over Crying over

I am no longer young, I'm an old man's daughter We got caught with the sun going down We spent most of our days adrift on the water That's how I know my way around And it's hard to be free When freedom is just me And the waves on the terrible sea I could land with the rest of all the broken down birds That's where I found my way home With the rest of the faces on the face of the earth Facing off with the great unknown And all the tears that we cry Is something gone wrong Is somebody lost The places long gone Keep on moving, baby, keep on moving The wave's coming over your knees And it's hard to be free See some things that I see Be some things that I be And come all the way, all the way, all the way home again

You might get lucky some days, not a drop of rain And you're too long on the town and you leave your trouble on the train And then there's only doubt until you're on your feet again There's only up or down The lucky boys upstairs with their penthouse views Making the ladies, making the news And I'm taking the orders and pouring the booze There's only up or down And they say no one likes a big mouth, yeah, but I've got one anyway Big as any fat cat, I say what I wanna say And I don't care if you listen, and I don't care if you walk away There's only up or down Shooting little stars Dying to be near Burn up along the way Into the atmosphere Shooting little stars Dying to be near I told the young bond salesman just the other day When I was his age I was sailing away I sailed the Russian sea, I've seen the Phillipines Down to Panama and all the way around Sometimes there's trouble on the ocean, sometimes there's trouble on the shore And there's always someone hoping there won't be trouble anymore It's an elevator, baby, get off on any floor There's only up or down Only up or down

Followed your road till the sky ran out Followed your love till love was in doubt Followed your love till it never really was at all Feeling stupid and hollow Now the moon's gonna follow me home Waited for you till the snow fell down Over my skin like a thin nightgown Waited for you but you never came around at all Waited for you till they pulled the plug Bartender emptied out his big tip jug They swept all the floors Vacuumed the rugs and went home Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna follow me home Time go easy on me tonight Cause I'm one of the lost sheep alright Take what you must, take what you must Of what I've lost as I have roamed Let the moon follow me home Followed your tears with a washing pail Followed your story, I followed your tail Followed you straight through the doors of your jail cell Followed your voice in the darkness soft A wind came through and carried it off Followed your love till it never really was at all Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna follow me home Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna follow me home

Occured to me the other day You've been gone now a couple years Well I guess it takes awhile For someone to really disappear And I remember where I was When the word came about you It was a day much like today The sky was bright and wide and blue And I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye Today my heart is big and sore It's trying to push right through my skin Won't see you anymore I guess that's finally sinkin' in Cause you can't make somebody see With the simple words you say All their beauty from within Sometimes they just look away And I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye Some better way to say goodbye

If you had the real thing how would you tell Liars can say it all just as well Every single word you've heard in vain Baubles of gold, stars in your hair Reflections that told that they were not there And the diamonds on your cheeks have turned to flames And up in the air they would write your name there But love would fall to pieces in the rain Who would know better than you A hundred love letters and none of them true Christina, Christina It's a wondrous world of ridiculous things With nothing so rare as the love that it brings In the silence of a smile that understands A piece of the action, pieces of gold Everyone's paid well and does what they're told For the simple daughter of a simple man And up in the air they would write your name there But love would fall to pieces in the rain Who would know better than you A hundred love letters and none of them true Christina, Christina Christina, Christina

Hey Peter Pan I'm going home now I've done all I can Besides I'm grown now I'll think of you all painted with the night You sit and watch from somewhere As one by one the lights go out I wrote a note to tell you how you matter When the rain came down All the letters scattered And washed away Drifted off to never Where you'll be safe from me now forever I believe you now when You say that this will hurt So I don't have to go and Play with you in the dirt now Hey Peter Pan I'm going home now I'm all grown up You're on your own now I'll think of you all painted with the night You sit and watch from somewhere As one by one the lights go out

It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart Beating close to mine Pounding up against the stone and steel Walls that I won't climb Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep You think that you're gonna drown Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep With all this rain falling down Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds When I'm holding on underneath this shroud Rain It's hard to know when to give up the fight Some things you want will just never be right It's never rained like it has tonight before Now I don't wanna beg you baby For something maybe you could never give I'm not looking for the rest of your life I just want another chance to live Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds When I'm holding on underneath this shroud Rain Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds When I'm holding on underneath this shroud Rain Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds Well I'm still alive underneath this shroud Rain Rain Rain

We were drinking like the Irish but we were drinking scotch Bartender turns on a movie, everybody turned to watch And every single eye was gleaming when they reached the final scene Well at least mine did, here's lookin' at you kid You know it's a mad mission under difficult conditions Not everybody makes it to the loving cup It's a mad mission but I got the ambition Mad, mad mission, sign me up I think I've seen the look before, yes, it's kind of non-commital It says come hither, baby, but then he's hard wood to whittle He says it don't mean a thing but still somehow it does He'd like you to join the club that likes to say There's no such thing as love It's a mad mission under difficult conditions Not everybody makes it to the loving cup It's a mad mission but I got the ambition Mad, mad mission, sign me up Sometimes you find yourself flying low at night Flying blind and looking for any sign of light You're cold and scared and all alone You'd do anything just to make it home It's a mad mission under difficult conditions Not everybody makes it to the loving cup It's a mad mission but I got the ambition Mad, mad mission, sign me up Sign me up

All the girls in the Paris night All the girls in the pale moonlight All the girls with the shopping bags All the girls with the washing rags All the girls on the telephones All the girls standing all alone All the girls sitting on the wires Who one by one fly into the fire Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me All the girls standing by your beds All the girls standing on their heads All the girls with the broken arms All the girls with the deadly charms All the girls in the restaurants Pretending to be nonchalant Funny girls on the TV shows Close your eyes and they turn to snow Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me All the girls working overtime Telling you everything is fine All the girls in the beauty shops Girls tongues catching the raindrops All the girls that you'll never see Forever a mystery All the girls with their secret ways All the girls who have gone astray Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me Be careful how you bend me Be careful with me

Does anyone remember Tony? He was a quiet boy, a little over weight He had breasts like a girl When I wasn't too busy feeling lonely I'd stare over his shoulder at a map of the world He always finished all his homework Raised his hand in homerooom For the morning attendance And the pledge alligence to the gloom Hey Tony, what's so good about dying? I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror Saw that little faggot staring back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away I hated every day of high school It's funny, I guess, that you did too Funny how I never knew There I was sitting right behind you They wrote it in the local rag Death comes to the local fag I guess you finally stopped believing That any hope would ever find you I know that story, I was sitting right behind you Hey Tony, what's so good about dying? I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror Saw that little faggot staring back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Hey Tony, what's so good about dying?

Mary You're covered in roses You're covered in ashes You're covered in rain You're covered in babies You're covered in slashes You're covered in wilderness You're covered in stains You cast aside the sheets You cast aside the shroud Of another man who served the world proud And you greet another son and you lose another one On some sunny day and always you stay Mary Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place Oh Mary She moves behind me She leaves her fingerprints everywhere Everytime the snow drifts Every way the sand shifts Even when the night lifts, she's always there Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place Oh Mary You're covered in roses You're covered in ruins You're covered in secrets Your'e covered in tree tops You're covered in birds Who can sing a million songs without any words You cast aside the sheets You cast aside the shroud Of another man who served the world proud And you greet another son, and you lose another one On some sunny day and always you stay Mary.....

Ain't no talking to this man Ain't no pretty other side Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that so I'm gonna let him fly Gonna let him fly Things can move at such a pace The second hand just waved goodbye You know the light has left his face but you can't recall just where or why So there was really nothing to it I just went and cut right through it I said I'm gonna let him fly There's no mercy in a live wire, no rest at all in freedom Of the choices we are given it's no choice at all The proof is in the fire you touch before it moves away But you must always know how long to stay and when to go And there ain't no talking to this man He's been tryin to tell me so It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go Cause it would take an acrobat and I already tried all that so I'm gonna let him fly I'm gonna let him fly, fly I'm gonna let him fly, fly I'm gonna let him fly

Well he jumps in the taxi for the sky He's off to slay some demon dragonfly And he looks at me that long last time Turns away again and I waved goodbye In an envelope inside his coat Is a chain I wore around my throat Along with a note I wrote Said I love you but I don't even know why But darling I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I just had this secret hope Sometimes all we do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying Well a long night turns into a couple long years Of me walking around and round this trail of tears Where the very loud voices of my own fear Ringing and ringing in my ear It says that love is long gone Every move I make is all wrong Says you never gave a damn for me Or anything or anyone But darling, I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I just had this secret hope Sometimes all we do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying May you dream you are dreaming in a warm soft bed And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread Make the sounds of thousands of angels instead Tonight where you might be laying your head I wish you well On your way to the wishing well Swinging off of those gates of hell But I can tell how hard you're trying I'll still have this secret hope Sometimes all I do is cope Somewhere on the steepest slope There's an endless rope And nobody's crying Nobody's crying Nobody's crying

Must have walked ten million miles Must have walked ten million miles Wore some shoes that weren't my style Ten million miles I've been kind of told some lies Like anyone who's lived or died Like anyone who's ever tried To walk ten million miles I memorize and I forget I do some things that I regret Wish for things I never get Walk in the rain and get wet Must have walked ten million miles Must have walked ten million miles So think before you criticize Ten million miles Traveled round from place to place Wore some rags around my waist And other times a dress of lace And always search for your sweet face You oughta come some time for tea Maybe we could see the sea Talk a lot or let things be Just enjoy the mystery Must have walked ten million miles Must have walked ten million miles Wore some shoes that weren't my style Fell into the rank and file So just say I was here a while A fool in search of your sweet smile Ten million miles

Here on the inside looking at the outside Losing my memory faster than my pride Here I am, baby, blind as a bat outta hell Cut me loose of that ball and chain Packed up a glad bag, hopped on a train To the land of the lonely, as far as I can tell I was laughing like a fool on fire Candle burning into my hand Sitting like a bird on a wire I had to find me a place to stand Well, this city got its poison pens And its children in armor and frustrated men And women who don't know why they were sent at all You might think that we'd had our fill And we'd stand up and fight if we just had the will If we just had a little more time to love something We're all laughing like fools on fire This candle burning into our hand Sitting like birds on a wire I got to find me a place to stand Foolish heart don't have no rest From the moment your head leaves your mama's chest From the moment you hold the child in your hand From that moment until you find your place to stand Little bit older, years going by Squeezing that stone but my well's still dry Here I am, here I am I'm laughing like a fool on fire Candle burning into my hand Sitting like a bird on a wire I had to find me a place to stand

(Originally performed by The Replacements) If he was from Venus Would he feed us with a spoon? If he was from Mars, Wouldn't that be cool? Standing right on campus Would he stamp us in a file? Hangin' down in Memphis all the while Children by the million Sing for Alex Chilton When he comes 'round They sing "I'm in love What's that song? I'm in love with that song" Cerebral rape and pillage In a village of his choice Invisible man who can sing In a visible voice Feeling like a hundred bucks Exchanging good looks face to face Checkin' his stash by the trash At St. Mark's place Children by the million Sing for Alex Chilton When he comes 'round They sing "I'm in love What's that song? I'm in love with that song" I never travel far Without a little big star Runnin' round the house Mikey Mouse and the Tarot cards Falling asleep with a flop pop video on If he was from Venus Would he meet us on the moon? If he died in Memphis, wouldn't that be cool?

All the rain comes down on the wild, wild, wild one All the rain comes down on the wild, wild, wild son Picked up like a comic book, the streets become the shelves Sometimes it's how young you look, most times it's like heell All the rain comes down on the wild, wild, wild one Thirteen is a darker year, much darker than eleven The car that I can't reach to steer, "Mom, I won't be home by seven" All the rain comes down on the wild, wild, wild one So the gates were never strong enough to hold me from the train So if I stay here long enough, maybe I'll melt in the pouring . . . All the rain comes down on the wild, wild, wild one All the rain comes down, all the rain comes down All the rain comes down, all the rain comes down

(Written by Willie Nelson) If you had not have fallen then I would not have found you Angel flying too close to the ground I patched up your broken wing and hung around awhile Trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down I knew one day you'd fly away Love’s the greatest healer to be found So leave me if you need to, I will still remember Angel flying too close to the ground Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound I’d rather see you up than see you down So leave me if you need to, I will still remember Angel flying too close to the ground So leave me if you need to, I will still remember Angel flying too close to the ground

(Originally performed by Etta James) At last My love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song At last The skies above are blue And my dreams were wrapped up in clovers The night I looked at you I found a dream that I could speak to A dream that I could call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known You smiled, you smiled Oh and the angel's spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine At last

(Written by Bessie Smith) It rained five days and the skies turned black as night It rained five days and the skies turned black as night There's some trouble taking place in the lowlands at night I woke up this morning, couldn't even get out of my door I woke up this morning, couldn't even get out of my door Sometimes there's so much trouble, poor girl don't know where to go They rowed a little boat, about five miles across the farm They rowed a little boat, about five miles across the farm I packed up all my clothes, and they rowed me right along It thunders and lightnings and the wind begins to blow It thunders and lightnings and the wind begins to blow There's about a thousand people there, and they got nowhere to go I went and stood up on the high and lonesome hill I went and stood up on the high and lonesome hill I looked down below me, on the house I used to live That's how the blues done caused me to pack up my things and go Blues done caused me to pack up my things and go My poor house is gone, I can't live there no more My poor house is gone, I can't live there no more My poor house is gone, I can't live there no more

(Lyrics by Nicole Baker and Gary Gilmore) Last night I flew In my dream Like a white bird Through the window Came through the night And the cool wind With a few bright stars In the darkness And got lost I woke up Long days, waiting for your love again Long nights, restless, scattered thoughts Wondering what's become of all our chances Wondering what's become of all our chances Goodbye now, my love Till then and forever No matter where I walk I walk alone Till again I'm by your side I'm by your side

(Written by Bob Dylan) Hollis Brown, he lived on the outside of town Hollis Brown, he lived on the outside of town With his wife and five children, and his cabin falling down You looked for work and money and you walked a rugged mile You looked for work and money and you walked a rugged mile Your children are so hungry that they don't know how to smile Your baby's eyes look crazy, they're a-tuggin' at your sleeve Your baby's eyes look crazy, they're a-tuggin' at your sleeve You walk the floor and wonder why with every breath you breathe The rats have got your flour, bad blood, it got your mare The rats have got your flour, bad blood, it got your mare Is there anyone that knows? Is there anyone that cares? You prayed to the lord above, "Oh, please send me a friend" You prayed to the lord above, "Oh, please send me a friend" Your empty pocket tells you that you ain't got no friend Your babies are crying louder, it's pounding in your brain Your babies are crying louder, it's pounding in your brain Your wife's screams are stabbin' you like the dirty drivin' rain Your grass is turning black, there's no water in your well Your grass is turning black, there's no water in your well You spent your last lone dollar on seven shotgun shells Way out in the wilderness, a cold coyote calls Way out in the wilderness, a cold coyote calls Your eyes fix on the shotgun that's hanging on the wall Your brain is a-bleedin' and your legs can't seem to stand Your brain is a-bleedin' and your legs can't seem to stand Your eyes fix on a shotgun that you're holding in your hand There's seven breezes blowing all around the cabin door There's seven breezes blowing all around the cabin door Seven shots ring out like the oceans pounding roar There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm Somewhere in the distance, there's seven new people born

Away beyond the blue Away beyond the blue One star belongs to you One star belongs to you And every breath I take And every breath I take I'm closer to that place I'm closer to that place Yeah baby, I'm gonna meet you there On the outskirts of the sky Yeah baby, I'm gonna meet you there And we will fly Away beyond the blue Away beyond the blue One star belongs to you This life is but a dream This life is but a dream Go gently down the stream Go gently down the stream

(Written by Neil Young) Lover, there will be another one To hover over you beneath the sun Tomorrow see the things that never come today When you see me fly away without you Shadows on the things you know Feathers fall around you And show you the way to go It's all over Nestled in your wings, my little one Is special, morning brings another sun Tomorrow, see the things that never come today When you see me fly away without you Shadow on the things you know Feathers fall around you And show you the way to go It's all over It's all over

I close up the house now on this sad affair Very last step of a thousand steps there And we'll never reach the, ever reach the sky now I don't care He called me a liar when I told him I loved him And I thought it was plain as the sky above him He called me a liar, yeah, he called me a liar Now here's these boxes piled up on the lawn And I say to myself, "In a little while, I'll be gone" And he will just turn back into the house and go on And my car will drive away and turn into a song, yeah He got the lampshade, I got the cat Strange sensation, coming down to that Strange sensation, coming down to that He's got the four walls and I've got the sky of gray He said he'd like to get out of harm's way, get out And now here's these boxes piled up on the lawn And I say to myself, "In a little while, I'll be gone" And he will just turn back into the house and go on And my car will drive away and turn into a song, oh, yeah Wants me to understand, yes, he wants me to say How I understand we're better off this way Wants me to pack my things and he wants me go But he sure does care about me, oh, yes, he wants me to know And I got these boxes piled up on the lawn And I say to myself, "In a little while, I'll be gone" And he will just turn back into the house and go on And my car will drive away and turn into a song, yeah

Who's that woman who's hiding there A fear so dark and is the dark (?) In the dirty, strangled dress she wears She will never hold a spark She's losing patience and breaking skin And waiting for the end of the world to begin And the world will swallow her up and then Everyone will know the shame Where does the arrow fly when she is gone Where are these broken wands coming from Squeezed between the ornaments on the lawn Where is this good woman gone Well, he gave me this half empty page Wiped my tears away in an angry rage All the babies, regardless of age Everyone will know the shame He's losing patience and he's breaking skin And waiting for the end of the world to begin The world will swallow her up and then Everyone will know the shame Here it is and I'll give it there And if you give me your pain, oh, we'll both have a pair Nobody's saved and nobody's spared And everyone knows the shame I am losing patience, and breaking skin And waiting for the end of the world to begin And the world will swallow me up and then Everyone will know the shame

(Originally performed by Ann Peebles) Lying around home alone on a rainy night like this Starving for your love, I'm hungry for just one kiss Every raindrop I hear against my window pane Beats so loud and clear, well, it spells your name I got nowhere to turn, tired of being alone I feel like breaking up somebody's home I know it's useless hanging on when you belong to someone else Can't change my feeling 'cause after all I didn't make it myself Last night I cried so hard, I believe I caught a chill I can't control the vibrations, my heart just won't stand still I got nowhere to turn, I'm tired of being alone I feel like breaking up somebody's home I got nowhere to turn, I'm tired of being alone I feel like breaking up somebody's home I know it's useless I know it's useless.....

Please pass the bottle on, pass it on and on Till every drop is gone, take down another one Swing your partner round till you lose your name Till you're a ball of flames, a wall of fire High as a funeral pyre Floating like the ashes, piling up the empty glasses All you laddies and lasses, ring them bells tonight You leave the warm glow behind the window Of Bubba's Sulky Lounge and you're back out in the snow You tilt your head back and try to catch on your tongue Every single one of them snowflakes Floating like the ashes, piling up the empty glasses All you laddies and lasses, ring them bells tonight

It may seem like a million miles away But that don't mean that it is I sat and I thought I sat and thought of these things to say And I just came up with this 'Cause honesty is hard to handle Truth is hotter than hell Is it love or fies to the candle As years go by, it's hard to tell As years go by, it's hard to tell You're acting like it's nothing, baby But I don't think I can play that part When you have looked straight into the eyes Of my buck naked heart Well, baby, sometimes a light's so bright it hurts your eyes And everything, to the touch, feels burned and raw But falling back into the arms of a lie Will never change, no never change, all those things we saw I can hardly stand to see you You're so careful, what you say Do you think you're the only one Who ever gave something away Who ever gave something away You're acting like it's nothing, baby But I don't think I can play that part When you have looked straight into the eyes Of my buck naked heart 'Cause honesty is hard to handle Truth is hotter than hell Is it love or flying through the candle As years go by, it's hard to tell As years go by, it's hard to tell Years go by, hard to tell, hard to tell You're acting like it's nothing, baby But I don't think I can play that part When you have looked straight in the eyes Of my buck naked heart

One of the dead boys, he looked like Opie He looked like Opie, one of the dead boys Grandpa gave him a cup of cocoa and Rubbed his head for luck like he always did All you need is a Coca Cola That's what it takes to get the job done A bunch of boys sitting in the van With a bag of chips and a bloody can Well, father do you know your son? Father do you know his name? There were two, now there is one He told me his name is Cain Black boys in the dungeons picking out all the red ones The small are getting smaller, getting smaller every day White boys in the dungeons picking out all the green ones All they found beneath that black knit cap was a bad cliche Father do you know your son? Father do you know his name? There were two, now there is one He told me his name is Cain All of the smart kids live in Asia Lord have mercy on us, euthanasia Is there a heaven for the frustrated The bored to death, the emasculated? Father do you know your son? Father do you know his name? There were two, now there is one He told me his name is Cain

Mama, I hear you calling tonight Your old song, calling me in for the night In the tall grass, down from the trees where I've climbed The day is gone, the birds sing their last songs in the pines I hear your voice calling by the back door light It reaches as far as I roam It's calling me all the way home Mama, the darkness is falling so fast Somehow, I thought the day would always last And I am afraid as I walk alone in the night Following the sound of your voice by the light Your sweet voice is calling by the back door light It reaches as far as I roam It's calling me all the way home It's calling me all the way home Calling me all the way home Mama, the night is so long and so deep Won't you stay a while, stay with me here till I sleep

As I'm hanging out over the river below On a rickity bridge that wants to let go Well, I'm hanging out over the rocks and the ruts Wellm to tell you the truth I never think about much Tell you the truth I never think about us Scientific explanation You live and breathe your life in abbreviation You sacrifice and pay your fine To the god of single minds It's never gonna be wherever you look Never gonna need whatever you took Don't do nothing to give you no shame Ask me again and I'll tell you the same Ask me again and I'll tell you the same It's the theory of relativity I'm watching the clock, it's looking back at me You never get enough time to get it all done Yeah, at the end of the day every day has won End of the day every day has won Some will find that unemployment Is the the only time in their lives of enjoyment You were never meant to run this race What you need's at your own pace Never gonna be wherever you look Never gonna need whatever you took Don't do nothing to give you no shame Ask me again and I'll tell you the same Ask me again and I'll tell you the same Never gonna be wherever you look Never gonna need whatever you took Don't do nothing to give you no shame Ask me again and I'll tell you the same Ask me again and I'll tell you the same

Night, you come and cover me, cold coffee spills all over me It's only hours to the day, you make it look so far away Night, you come and sing the songs of birds that have no eyes Of birds that never fly, of birds that tell me lies And the night and I go hand to hand, breast to breast, woman to woman The night and I go quietly, we go softly, screaming all the way Night is watching from the tower, turns on the electric fence Night can make you disappear without a trace of evidence Night sounds like a judgement, and nobody speaks on your behalf You hear yourself calling out loud and hear the night laughing back The night and I go hand to hand, breast to breast, woman to woman The night and I go quietly, we go softly, screaming all the way Night, you know how I forget, it's only hours to the day So hard to remember that, it's hard to see a night that way

Here goes everything right on down to the wire I'm gonna sing like a canary on fire And the world won't stop, but maybe you will stay I apologize for rocking the boat My heart gets caught on a lump in my throat And the words just miss my lips somewhere along the way You and me, we got no more illusions, wild cards or shadows of a doubt But the end ain't a foregone conclusion, oh, baby, can we live without illusions? Our long shadows cast here in the moonlight Across the lawn and fade from our sight And the world beyond is turning like a wheel Every step we take is out of the past Everybody says, darlin', that we won't last But they don't know what we know or feel what we feel You and me, we got no more illusions, wild cards or shadows of a doubt But the end ain't a foregone conclusion, oh, baby, can we live without illusions? I can't pretend that the sparks are still flying Or the ember's burning stronger At least by now, we might be getting real good at trying Can we try a little longer? You and me, we got no more conclusions, wild cards, or shadows of a doubt But the end ain't a foregone conclusion, oh, baby, can we live without illusions

I wonder when the summer started smelling so bad Woke up one morning and it seemed that way He thought of that woman and it got him so mad ?? ?? ?? hold her to keep him awake There had to be something he could do about this And the feeling came on him like a shot "Just who does that woman really think she is Taking from me every last thing I've got" Tell me where do we go from here Tell me where do we go from here There ain't no more pioneers And the pain is so severe His heart is beating as fast as a child's Those voices from his past they were calling Saying what they always do to get him all riled He opens the door and starts falling Then the call comes through on 911 ?? ?? ?? just another day Then this woman starts screaming that he's got a gun He's gonna blow her and her children all away Where do we go from here Tell me where do we go from here There ain't no more pioneers And the pain is so severe Policemen are down in the parking lot And they'll come running, baby, when they hear the first shot They're gonna kick down the door and hear it ring twice Here's your one last chance to do something nice Tell me where do we go from here Tell me where do we go from here There ain't no more pioneers And the pain is so severe I wonder when the summer started I wonder when the summer started I wonder when the summer started Smelling so bad, baby

Well, he broke through the barrier and rolled down the hill A sound like thunder then everything stood still Back home the widow wondered where he'd gone In the evening the meadow sings without care His eyes staring blankly up into the air The cars far above him kept rolling along Oh, off you go into the summer Oh, off you go to the fall You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder Suddenly you stop feeling anything at all Speed and alcohol, the papers equated For the record, good judgement was not demonstrated Rest assured, this one was not drug related Back home the young widow weeps and sighs Explains to her kids how their daddy died She closes the door to the room where he used to try Oh, off you go into the summer Oh, off you go to the fall You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder Suddenly you stop feeling anything at all Well, we all have occasion to slip on the path Some get to pay for the aftermath Some won't get another chance to realize life has an ending Well, the widow moves on as the years progress Starts her life over but never forgets Down in the meadow there's darkness descending Oh, off you go into the summer Oh, off you go to the fall You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder Suddenly you stop feeling anything at all

Could've been one of those wind up dolls And have someone to catch me, everytime I'd fall Could've afforded to shop wherever I'd want And spend his hard-earned money on trips on the salon Well, he wasn't such a bad guy and sleeping with him beats slinging hash But I could never justify affection or cash Pushing away all the pain and regrets I filled a million bottles with all the tears I don't stay home waiting for what ain't happened yet And I'm pushing thirty a little harder every year Leaves of the trees like the lines of my eyes Considering the storm I've seen, it ain't no real surprise Sometimes on a glass of beer, I think of a little girl Trying to keep her grace, as if she could see the world I don't worry too much about those places I don't see I know that I'm the woman that I wanted to be So I'm pushing away all the pain and regrets I've filled a million bottles with all of the tears I don't stay home waiting for what ain't happened yet And I'm pushing thirty a little harder every year I knew I'd never take that train to the end of the line Not with a heart full of hope and legs that work just fine No matter who you think you're with, no matter what you think you want You're never really more than someone and don't deserve to know So I'm pushing away all the pain and regrets I've filled a million bottles with all of the tears I don't stay home waiting for what ain't happened yet And I'm pushing thirty a little harder every year Pushing thirty, pushing thirty, pushing thirty

(Written by Bruce Springsteen) I got a fifty-nine Chevy with a 396 Fuelie heads and a hurst on the floor She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot Outside the 7-11 store Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch And he rides with me from town to town We only run for the money got no strings attached We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down Tonight, tonight, the strip's just right I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat Summer's here and the time is right For racing in the street We take all the action we can meet And we cover all the Northeast states When the strip shuts down, we run 'em in the streets From the fireroads to the interstates Now some guys they just give up living And start dying little by little, piece by piece Some guys come home from work and wash up And go racing in the streets Tonight, tonight, the strip's just right I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats Calling out around the world, We're going racing in the streets I met her on the strip three years ago In a Camaro with this dude from LA I blew that Camaro off my back And I drove that little girl away But now there's wrinkles round my baby's eyes And she cries herself to sleep at night When I come home, the house is dark She sighs, "Baby, did you make it alright?" She sits on the porch of her daddy's house But all her pretty dreams are torn She stares off alone into the night With the eyes of one who hates for just being born For all the shutdown strangers and hot rot angels Rumbling through this promised land Tonight my baby and me, we're gonna ride to the sea And wash these sins off our hands Tonight, tonight, the highway's bright Out of our way, mister, you best keep Summer's here and the time is right For racing in the streets

(Written by Tom Waits) I will leave behind all of my clothes I wore when I was with you All I need's my railroad boots And my leather jacket As I say goodbye to Ruby's arms Although my heart is breaking I will steal away out through your blinds For soon you will be waking The morning light has washed your face And everything is turning blue now Hold onto your pillow case There's nothing I can do now As I say goodbye to Ruby's arms You'll find another soldier And I swear to God, by Christmastime There'll be someone else to hold you The only thing I'm taking is The scarf off of your clothesline Walking past your chest of drawers And your broken wind chimes As I say goodbye, I'll say goodbye Say goodbye to Ruby's arms I will feel my way down the darkened hall Out into the morning The hoboes at the freight yards Have left their fires burning Jesus Christ, this goddamn rain Won't someone put me on a train I'll never kiss your lips again Or break your heart As I say goodbye, I'll say goodbye Say goobye to Ruby's arms

The hole in her chest is for the lost little lamb The world's on its quest, nobody gives a damn And silvery days of silence, they go How they lost their ways, those little lambs in the snow These are not shells of the sea, these are the shells of the sky They took my baby away from me, and no one has ever told me why Theey chewed him and spit him and he never knew what hit him No little kisses goodbye Shells, shells, shells Oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah, oh, wah, oh I won't stand to ask for God's mercy I can't stand a thing anymore They were only making angels in the snow in the middle of a war And the blood of these lambs speaks of the darkness And the blood of these lambs speaks of the rage, yes, And blood of these lambs is rolling to the sea It's writing our history, every single page Shells, shells, shells Oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah, oh, wah, oh Chair at the table missing a child Months have gone past, the weather is mild I go to the sea, I follow the tide I hold seashells to me, and I hear the sky These are not shells of the sea These are the shells of the sky They took my baby away from me and no one has ever told me why They chewed him and spit him, he never knew what hit him No little kisses goodbye Shells, shells, shells Oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah Oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah, oh-wah

Take the last of these roses, hang them small and pretty on the vine Tear them by the roots from the walls where they climbed for all time Take the last of my money, search the corners of my pockets for the change Take my best, take my worst, take the blessings, take the curse, take my name Let the stars in the sky fall by and by to the sea Let the water rise up, let the sun fall down on me Cause you can only stand up for so long, stand up for so long So long then you're gone, so long Everything I have I've borrowed, I've worn this dress like my own Shined my shoes every Sunday as a child, and now I'm grown So take the rings my fingers, take from my neck a silver chain Take my future, take my past, and that sweet day that's my last Take my pain, take my pain Let the stars in the sky fall by and by to the sea Let the water rise up, let the sun fall down on me Cause you can only stand up for so long, stand up for so long So long then you're gone, so long Take the last of these pictures Take the nails from all the walls and all the frames Take these memories from my mind, flickering like candle flames

(Written by John Hiatt) Take everything that we have Take it and burn it to the ground Some things were never meant to last Take it down, down, down Take it down Take it down, down, down Take it down I'm still married to it all That ain't no place to hang around My love is fifty feet tall Take it down, down, down Take it down Take it down, down, down Take it down I've grown accustomed to the way You hurled us into space I'll never make that trip Tears all rusted on my face And I'm just an empty place Where your love used to fit South Carolina, where are you? We were once lost and now we're found The war is over, the battle's through Take it down, down, down Take it down Take it down, down, down Take it down Take it down, down, down Take it down Take it down, down, down Take it down

(Written by Tom Waits) The phone's off the hook, no one knows where we are It's been a long time since I drank champagne The ocean is blue, as blue as your eyes I'm gonna take it with me when I go Oh, long since gone, and now way back when We lived in Coney Island Ain't no good thing ever dies I'm gonna take it with me when I go Far, far away, a train whistle blows Wherever you're going, wherever you've been Waving goodbye at the end of the day You're up and you're over and you're far away Oh, always for you, and forever yours It felt just like the old days We fell asleep on Beaula's porch I'm gonna take it with me when I go All broken down by the side of the road I was never more alive or alone I've worn the faces off all the cards I'm gonna take it with me when I go Children are playing at the end of the day Strangers are singing out on our lawn There's got to be more than flesh and bone All that you're loved is all that you own In a land there's a town, in a town there's a house In that house there's a woman And in that woman there's a heart that I love I'm gonna take it with me when I go I'm gonna take it with me when I go

(Lyrics by Nicole Baker) For lost is my mind Silent by dawn Love's away stolen And hurting is long So ask me no questions Sing me no songs Follow me nowhere I'm already gone So ask me no questions Sing me no songs Follow me nowhere I'm already gone

There was a long stair She held her hand out She said, "It's okay for you to rest now. We've had a long run. We've run a long way. We knew that one day this day would come. There must have been something good for you to love me so. Must have been something good only you could know." He walked the long stairs He said a long prayer Breathed in the cool air She held her hand out "It's been a long time, son. Oh, how I've missed you." Mmm-mm, mmm-mm

Well, I'm tired of this, baby Ain't you tired of it too? We might as well admit We bit too much to chew Better bid adieu Before it's too late, baby They say the longer you wait The tighter shut is the gate We got nothing much in common But it's just as well Never intertwined, we was just parallel We just didn't gel Let's dissipate, yeah, baby They say the longer you wait The tighter shut is the gate Well, now, I just wanted peace and quiet I stayed out of trouble Every time I bit my tongue My heartache doubled Now, this ain't as hard to figure out As a jigsaw puzzle I can't find a reason now To keep this thing muzzled Well, now, my resolve's been waiting For several years straight It's not that I won't miss you But I just can't wait to celebrate And I go wandering, baby They say the longer you wait The tighter shut is the gate They say the longer you wait The tighter shut is the gate Tighter shut now

She can hear those words of her mama still The talk of the ways and the always-will-be's She'd laugh at the time and pretend to be free But she'd never run far from the legacy She's trying the wind like the crack of a whip She places her fingertips up to her lips She thinks of a feeling she can't quite recall And a few days when she'd been ahead of it all Where she'd stepped past the clocks, stepped high and wide Strong and true to the other side Kicking away all the mud from her heels To the time of the dance, to the second chance To the dust of the hours passed under the wheels Oh, she'd step to the time of the dance She says sometimes being a husband and wife Can feel like a fight against natural life And that there is no bigger chain on your soul And you're always dancing out in the cold But sometimes the light hits the side of his face And it fills up her heart like a warm embrace She knows that the struggle is more than a daze More than the words that her mama could say Well, they stepped past the clocks, stepped high and wide Strong and true to the other side Kicking away all the mud from their heels To the time of the dance, to the second chance To the dust of the hours passed under the wheels Oh, they stepped to the time of the dance She said, "Turn off the TV, hush all the sound Till all you can hear is the rain We'll just slip out the doorway and let the rain fall down And feel all the life rushing back to our veins Oh, we'll step past the clocks, step high and wide Strong and true to the other side Kicking away all the mud from our heels To the time of the dance, to the second chance To the dust and the hours passed under the wheels Oh, we'll step to the time of the dance Oh, we'll step to the time of the dance"

(Written by Smokey Robinson) People say I'm the life of the party Cause I tell a joke or two Although I may be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears Since you left me if you see me with another guy Looking like I'm having fun Although he may be cute he's just a substitute Because you're the permanent one So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears Outside I'm masquerading But inside my hopes are fading I'm just a clown since you put me down My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you Baby, take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears Baby, take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears

You don't know what you feel You don't know what you feel Your mind is blinded by the speed of light And you're driving this ton of steel Jesus left a love divine And then he disappeared Jesus left a love divine But he didn't leave it here There's a million cars and drivers You can see them from the heavens above And an endless sea of red tailights On a twisted road to love Your head's a radio playing a stupid song Your head is a radio and you're singing right along If you had just one day Would you spend it here?

She says I deserve much better than this It's getting pretty plain to see She tells her boss, "Here's my butt, Why don't you give it a kiss. You got all you're gonna get outta me." Twenty years ago in typing class Graduation day to pay for wings (?) Nothing to show but a life moving too fast And a fear of almost everything And a fear of almost everything But they say get down under these clouds I was born down under these clouds So I stand up and sing it out loud Someone's still alive under their shroud And I don't wanna die under these clouds Her momma tried real hard not to pass it along And so her Momma did before that Somewhere, someday, someone's singing this song About how everything good goes bad And it really was a gradual thing Passes easy as a cigarette You wake up one day wrapped up in a ball of string Believing nothing good's happened to you yet Feel like nothing good's happened to you yet But they say get down under these clouds I was born down under these clouds So I stand up and sing it out loud Someone's still alive under their shroud And I don't wanna die under these clouds Under these clouds.....

(Originally performed by the Flaming Lips) I asked you a question I did not need you to reply Is it getting heavy? But then I realize It's getting heavy And I thought it was already as heavy as can be Is it overwhelming To use a crane to crush a fly? A good time for Superman To lift the sun into the sky Cause it's getting heavy And I thought it was already as heavy as can be So tell everybody that's waiting for Superman They'll have to try and hold on the best they can Cause he hasn't dropped them, forgot them, or anything It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

Let's go to the waterslide down on A1A We'll all get a cherry drink and we'll have a ball today Just gas up the Country Squire and take the cornbag down Let's go to the waterslide and slide a couple rounds Waterslide, oh, waterslide Let's all go to Smoky Shore and ride some of those rides They're gonna roast some nuts and fry some dough And light some of those lights inside It really is almost grand, rising from a parking lot Well, I know that it ain't Disneyland But, baby, this is all that we got Waterslide, oh, waterslide People say that we're just second class And we barely pass along day to day Maybe, darling, we got broken glass But our love still lasts, and that's all I can say Waterslide, oh, waterslide Baby, let's all go back home, we'll get the kids washed good I'll go lay them down to bed while you check that smell from under the hood We'll put the last buck in the jar and save up for next year Honey, then we'll go and lock the door locks so they can't hear Waterslide, oh, waterslide

(Traditional Folk Song) I am a poor wayfaring stranger While journeying through this world of woe And there's no sickness, toil, nor danger In that bright world to which I go I'm going there to see my mother I'm going there, no more to roam I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home I know dark clouds with gather round me I know my way, my way, my way is rough and steep And beautious fields lay just before me And God's redeemed His vigils keep I'm going there to see my mother She said she'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan Only going over home Only going over home

My friend, my friend, you are traveling Some of these secrets are unraveling Some of this picture is coming into view I see the water washing over you And the water's speaking now, it speaks your name I hear it talking to me sometimes when it rains Telling me a story of joy and pain But I got no regrets, baby, I got no shame Cause we are water, we flow and flow I feel you pouring through every inch of my soul I really must tell you this, baby, before you go We are water, we flow and flow I'm a river, baby, I've got plenty of time I don't know where I'm going, I'm just following the lines There's just no telling where this river will flow But I got no choice in the matter, baby, I just go where it goes I'm making my bed tonight right under this cloud Sometimes the lightning's so frightening, sometimes the thunder's so loud But still I know this tide is always kissing my heels Sometimes I think I'll drown in all these things that I feel Cause we are water, we flow and flow I feel you pouring through every inch of my soul I really must tell you this, baby, before you go We are water, we are water, we are water, we flow and flow Out on the beach today, I did not find, no One single footstep that we had left behind So I went swimming in the deep blue sea And I could feel that water all over me Cause we are water, we flow and flow I feel you pouring through every inch of my soul I really must tell you this, baby, before you go We are water, we are water, we are water, we are water We are water, we are water, we are water, we flow and flow, Mmmm, we flow and flow

I got no defense, baby, I got nothing but a burned out light My whole life don't depend on whether you forgive me tonight I already know the feeling, I've walked the floor before I can tell when something's broken, and I know when I ain't welcome anymore City lights ain't fireflies, this hole ain't a home, it's true I never intended to be the promises I made to you Paint is peeling down the hallway, brand new lock is on the door I can tell when something's broken, and I know when I ain't welcome anymore I don't care who's listening, I don't care what the neighbors think Only time the truth gets told, is when it's surfaced by a drink Only time you hear my heart, you run behind a door I can tell when something's broken, and I know when I ain't welcome anymore

Laying low in the darkness A long slow pain beats deep in her chest And she wonders if he's safe tonight or if he's warm enough And she tries to send upon the wind a song of her love Well, a hundred miles away or more, a man learns what he's worth A canon fires, his body flies, ashes to the earth Far away something stirs a woman from her sleep Flutters at her windowsill and she begins to weep Oh, white dove, fly to her window in the morning Tell my sweet love that I'm gone, that I'm gone White dove, tell my love all there is to say Oh, white dove, fly, fly away Well a hundred miles away or more, this wind becomes a storm Another soldier, cold as ice, slowly becomes warm Turned his eyes to the sky from where he's laying low There he sees a white dove flying in the snow Oh, white dove, fly to her window in the morning Tell my sweet love that I'm gone that I'm gone White dove, tell my love all there is to say Oh, white dove, fly to her window in the morning Tell my sweet love that I'm gone that I'm gone White dove, tell my love all there is to say Oh, white dove, oh, white dove Oh, white dove, fly, fly away.....

I watched your window, I watched your shadow I looked for another, but you were alone I felt the wind blow cold on my shoulders I felt your love go, blowing out cold We had the real thing up there in the moonlight Didn't cost nothing but each of our hearts One day you stopped smiling and singing those love songs Then you decided to make a new start Love can be the sadness that's living inside of a shadow Decide that you want it, you pay with tomorrows Decide you don't want it and when you do, you let go Oh, you don't have me, I don't have you That's what they mean by being through I was just singing up in my room When I caught myself thinking about seeing you soon But I know I have looked on your face for the last time Part of the choices that'll last for a lifetime Love can be the sadness that's living inside of a shadow Decide that you want it, you pay with tomorrows Decide you don't want it and when you do, you let go Oh, you don't have me, I don't have you That's what they mean by being through Love can be the sadness that's living inside of a shadow Decide that you want it, you pay with tomorrows Decide you don't want it and when you do, you let go Oh, you don't have me, I don't have you That's what they mean by being through
