Low

/c/counting+crows/low_20513580.html

(Original by Cracker) Sometimes I wanna take you down. Sometimes I wanna get you low. Brush your hair back from your eyes. Take you down let the river flow. Sometimes I go and walk the street Behind the green sheet of glass. A million miles below their feet A million miles, a million miles CHORUS: I'll be with you girl Like being low Hey hey hey like being stoned. I'll be with you girl Like being low Hey hey hey like being stoned. A million poppies gonna make me sleep. Just one rose and knows your name The fruit is rusting on the vine The fruit is calling from the trees Hey don't you wanna go down Like some junkie cosmonaut A million miles below their feet A million miles a million miles CHORUS Blue blue is the sun. Brown brown is the sky. Green green of her eyes. A million miles a million miles Hey hey don't you wanna go down Like some disgraced cosmonaut A million miles below their feet A million miles a million miles CHORUS

Mercury

/c/counting+crows/mercury_20033473.html

She is trapped inside a month of grey And they take a little every day She is a victim of her own responses Shackled to a heart that wants to settle And then runs away It's a sin to be fading endlessly Yeah, but she's alright with me She is leaving on a walkaway She is leaving me in disarray In the absence of a place to be She stands there looking back at me Hesitates, and then turns away She'll change so suddenly She's just like mercury Yeah, but she's alright with me Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds For the things that die before their time For the restlessly abandoned homes The tired and weary rambler's bones And stay beside me where I lie She's entwined in me Crazy as can be Yeah, but she's alright with me

Palisades Park

/c/counting+crows/palisades+park_21085682.html

Somebody screaming on Jim Jeffries' dreams Explode into a black fist and fall to the floor He stares up at the sky and he may wish he knew why But you can't go back there no more The future sounds so crazy, we all heard that song before Tomorrow's a name that changed from yesterday to blame When a train just don't stop here anymore I got starry eyed on a coaster ride Andy said, "Man, I need a break from the world outside" And these days my life just careens through a pinball machine I could do so much better but I can't get off the tilt There's a photograph on a tv, black and white Andy says something to you Jack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like She says I forget myself sometimes, too But out past the doorways where we are sleeping Well, the white queen's creeping, the time cat's beeping Now I'm not breaking, the train's just shaking I never made it here before And there's a wide mouth spinning the girls around Till they can't take it any more I used to dream in the dark, in Palisades Park Up over the cliffs and down among the spark It's a long life full of long nights But it's not what I was waiting for Everybody's seen the horses driving down the shore It's a miracle they don't make them anymore So make up ladies, oh wake up baby You walked into the bar like some Saturday star Studs straight on spiked heels and needles and nerves And you're a downtown pride, fully amplified Clyde Gin-tied and Asian, but well preserved Remember Annie outside your bedroom window Saying, "Come on, let's drive across to the Palisades" Keep going till we hit Reno, Nevada I don't see it all that much these days Still there are pages in back of the action stacks Where the white queen's creeping, the time cat's beeping The train's not breaking, the track's just shaking I never made it here before And there's a sky rocket turning the world around But still I can't take it any more And you carry that spark from Palisades Park Down over the cliffs and out into the dark It's a long life full of long nights But it's not what I was looking for Everyone dreams of horses flying round the shore It's a bad dream we're not having anymore Man, have you seen Andy? Hey man, hey man, have you seen him around? Hey man, have you seen my my my my my Andy? Hey man, have you seen him, have you seen him Have you seen him, have you seen him? Hey, have you seen Andy around? Dressed up in a pirate vest, all leathers and feathers and pearls Andy said, "Look at me, man, I'm cooking These hands are gonna figure out this whole world" He said, "Come outside, climb out your bedroom window Shimmy down the fire escape and say goodbye Come outside, " Andy says, "I'm dressed up just like Edie Changing all the time, my leopard spots to polka dots, just say goodbye Come outside, where maybe we can move to California Just meet me at the subway and say goodbye Come outside, the cops all think we're crazy If you steal, you'll just get married To a girl who'll never know you and then say goodbye" Hey man, have you seen Andy? I lost her in the cirque I was high as a kite on a lovely and white Man, you can lose anyone Hey, hey man, have you seen Andy? I don't know where she's gone Real love outlives teenage lust Oh, we could get wet and it keeps us warm Love is like angel dust Lovely sometimes changes us Sometimes we're not Have you been aching with trust or just Have you been waking yourself with lust? Have you been making us up or just taking us home? It's a long wait and a long life Cars frozen in flight All the traffic stops to stare At a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada Where nothing but air and a pair of gray paper wings Andy thinks, "Man, I have got nothing to wear" We got nothing to wear We got nothing to wear We got nothing to wear We got nothing to wear

Just down the street from your hotel, baby I stay at home with my disease And ain't this position familiar, darling Well, all monkeys do what they see Help me stay awake, I'm falling... Down on Virginia and La Loma Where I got friends who'll care for me You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted I got an attitude of need Help me stay awake, I'm falling... Asleep in perfect blue buildings Beside the green apple sea Gonna get me a little oblivion Try to keep myself away from me It's 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday It doesn't get much worse than this In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle of these lives which are completely meaningless Help me stay awake, I'm falling... Asleep in perfect blue buildings Beside the green apple sea Gonna get me a little oblivion Try to keep myself away from myself and me I got bones beneath my skin, and mister... There's a skeleton in every man's house Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody There's a dead man trying to get out Please help me stay awake, I'm falling... Asleep in perfect blue buildings Beside the green apple sea Gonna get me a little oblivion baby Try to keep myself away from me

She don't want nobody near But you can't get away from that They appear and disappear And they all get a string attached Pretty soon they got you hanging on a line Pretty soon they're singing one by one the same old rhyme They say, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight." She don't want nobody home 'Cause it's a little too crowded then But she don't wanna be alone So they just keep pouring in Pretty soon they got her headed for the door She comes home to find that they're not hanging 'round no more She says "I'm alright, you just can't get home tonight." Don't you wonder what she looks like in the light? She says "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight." Pretty whitewashed lies Endless alibis And the reasons that need cleaning every night Half a world away You can't wash away the stain of the deceiving And the things that you cannot believe, and well She don't want no one around 'Cause she don't want anybody to see What she looks like when she's down 'Cause that's a really sad place to be Pretty soon she gets them crawling up the walls Then she wonders why they beg her please to never call She says, "I'm ok. It's alright. Hey, look who's on TV tonight." She says, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight." Don't you wonder why it's dark outside at night? She says, I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight.

Don't come around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise.

Another song of woe Woe sounds like this You say nothing's changed, where were you when my world Was spinning into masquerade You claim it's just a question of mathematics I shut the door on your amateur dramatics Then you think too much And you talk too much, vicariously Yeah you think too much And you talk too much Every word is substance free You're the dirt on my collar You're the hole in my favourite shoe You're the last dying breath of love You're the weight that I need to lose And you hurt yourself You say I'm deranged, I'll admit to being strange But I just can't stop loving you If the light in your eyes Addiction came as a surprise Didn't think I'd be so into you Then you think too much And you talk too much, so carelessly Yeah you think too much And you talk too much Every word is substance free You're the dirt on my collar You're the hole in my favourite shoe You're the last dying breath of love You're the weight that I need to lose You're the dirt on my collar You're the hole in my favourite shoe You're the last, last dying breath of love You're the weight that I need to lose You're the dirt on my collar You're the hole in my favourite shoe You're the last dying breath of love You're the weight that I need to lose

Hey, this song is for Marilyn and every drag queen Oh brother, it's not like the past We're wearing stilettos and talking too fast Passing the mirror hung up in pose The boys they were fairest in immaculate clothes Lunch with Janet Street Porter and Marilyn's nose But this life is a baby, so sad when it grows Into you and me, ah, what the hell we're gonna be? Where will we go and what will we be? If we can't communicate intelligently There's a price on my head but I've never been free I said, "'How d'ya keep your credibility?" No more crying, no more trying Please, no more dying I just wanna be free I'm taking the trouble right to your door Why'd you do it, you bastard? Don't love you no more Sinners beside me, saints on the right And if you slow down, you'll be a turkey tonight c'mon let's go a little further, don't be uptight If you feel insecure, well, just turn off the light Where will we go and what will we be?

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are Ringing through my open ears exciting and inviting me Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on across the universe Jai guru deva om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world.

This is all a dream we dreamed One afternoon long ago Walk out of any doorway Feel your way, feel your way Like the day before Maybe you'll find direction Around some corner Where it's been waiting to meet you - What do you want me to do, To watch for you while you're sleeping? Well please don't be surprised When you find me dreaming too Look into any eyes You find by you, you can see Clear through to another day I know it's been seen before Through other eyes on other days While going home -- What do you want me to do, To do for you to see you through? It's all a dream we dreamed One afternoon long ago Walk into splintered sunlight Inch your way through dead dreams To another land Maybe you're tired and broken Your tongue is twisted With words half spoken And thoughts unclear What do you want me to do To do for you to see you through A a box of rain will ease the pain And love will see you through Just a box of rain - Wind and water - Believe it if you need it, If you don't just pass it on Sun and shower - Wind and rain - In and out the window Like a moth before a flame It's just a box of rain I don't know who put it there Believe it if you need it Or leave it if you dare But it's just a box of rain Or a ribbon for your hair Such a long long time to be gone And a short time to be there

Don't sigh so deep. Are you the kind of man that I hoped you would or wouldn't be? Maybe baby's gone to sleep... Maybe baby's gone to sleep. Pull myself a little closer, I could feel your body breath Hear the pulsing of my heartbeat Rhyming rhythms endlessly. If I could catch three wishes from a falling star, One I would keep... And two I would put on your pillow with a lullaby... Maybe baby's gone to sleep Maybe baby's gone... Hold on to a thought at the end of the day... Someday we'll be watching the clouds as they're drifting away. And you might think about leaving but I'll always stay. Little baby on my shoulder, I could fall into your dreams Wrap yourself up all around me Till you don't know what it means... I could fall into your dreams... I could fall into your dreams...

You would have seen us there You could've seen far You should've seen the magic In my hat full of stars Now whenever I'm alone And I think I might forget I wear my lucky hat Just like a crown up on my head 'Cause all I have Is a hat full of stars...

If the sky should fall into the sea And the stars fade all around me All the times that we have known here I will sing a hymn to love We have lived and dreamed we two alone In a world that's been our very own With it's memories ever grateful Just for you I sing a hymn to love I remember each embrace The smile that lights your face And my heart begins to sing Your eyes have never lied And my heart begins to sing And my heart begins to sing If one day you should ever disappear Always remember these words If one day we had to say goodbye And our love should fade away and die In my heart you will remain here And I'II sing a hymn to love O for love, we live eternally In the blue we'll roll this harmony With every day we are in heaven As for you, I'll sing a hymn to love Don't you ever worry, dear And the stars shall fade from the sky All the times that we have known here I will sing a hymn to our love Oh darling, Just for you I sing A hymn to love

I Drove All Night

I had to escape The city was sticky and cruel Maybe I should have called you first But I was dying to get to you I was dreaming while I drove The long straight road ahead, uh, huh Could taste your sweet kisses Your arms open wide This fever for you is just burning me up inside I drove all night to get to you Is that alright I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you Is that alright I drove all night What in this world Keep us from tearing apart No matter where I go I hear The beating of your heart I think about you When the night is cold and dark No one can move me The way that you do Nothing erases the feeling between me and you I drove all night to get to you Is that alright I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you Is that alright I drove all night Could taste your sweet kisses Your arms open wide This fever for you is just burning me up inside I drove all night to get to you Is that alright I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you I drove all night...to hold you tight

If You Go Away

/c/cyndi+lauper/if+you+go+away_10074591.html

If you go away On this summer day Then you might as well Take the sun away All the birds that flew In the summer sky And our love was new And our hearts were high When the day was young And the night was long And the moon stood still For the night bird song If you go away, if you go away, if you go away But if you stay I'll make you a day Like no day has ever been Or will be again We'll sail on the sun We'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees And worship the wind And if you go I'll understand Leave me just enough love To hold in my hand If you go away, if you go away, if you go away If you go away As I know you will You must tell the world to stop turning Till you return to me If you ever do, Oh what good is love without loving you? I can tell you now, as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly Till your next hello If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, But if you stay I'll make you a night Like no night has ever been Or will be again I'll sail on you smile I'll ride on your touch I'll talk to your eyes That I love so much But if you go I'll understand Leave me just enough love To hold in my hand If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away If you go away, as I know you must There is nothing left in this world to trust Just an empty room, full of empty space Like the empty look I see on your face I'd have been the shadow of your shadow If you might have kept me by your side If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

Love To Hate

/c/cyndi+lauper/love+to+hate_20035174.html

Fashion fascists out in droves, Some with powder up their nose... And the money men who had to steal away. Telling stories who they've had. Who's a no count, who looks bad. Then they turn around and say how much they like you... Like you...like you? No. I love to hate you...I love to hate you...I really do. Playing games with people lives Change the rules when stakes are high. All the vampires come out at night to play... Things are different today, that is always what you say. Well maybe so, except for people like you... Like you...like you? No. I love to hate you... Look around you can't look down. You might miss out on what you think is cool...you fool. You've decided who I am, in this brief experience And if it's worth spending your precious time on me. My friend Mel he could relate, Told me once I love to hate I get so hot the words get stuck Stuck like you... Like you...like you? No. I love to hate you... It's not just the clothes that you wear Or the way you do your hair It's just you.
