Mary,
I get the feeling that you're crossing the line
between reality and losing your mind
so take a moment to breathe
Cause there must be,
there's gotta be some kind of rules to the game
the way you're playing puts the hate in my veins
and tests the patience in me
and it simply can't be
Back then,
there was a time you were the sun as it shined
but now the heat has left me burning alive
I just can't find no relief
So Mary,
I got the feeling that it's more than enough
I found you out and now I'm callin' the bluff
and it's alright with me
alright with me
Everyone keeps asking me why bother with this version of love?
Well its the million dollar question and I know my answer won't measure up
Cause I don't know what it is that I've been dreaming up
But I know, yes I know, yes I know this simply just ain't enough
Cause lately
I get this feeling that there's something I missed
some kind of passion you can't find in a kiss
some kind of feelings for me
And its one thing (yeah)
one thing to find a person you can destroy
some kind of lover for a weekend employ
somebody wild and free
that someone ain't me me?
But I'm trying
about as hard as I can possibly try
and now it seems the days are passing me by
its seem to lost all intrigue
But I don't know just what I'm after
is it pain or is laughter?
Does it truly even matter? I DON'T KNOW
But I do know that I'm losing control, that I'm losing control
Everyone keeps asking me why bother with this version of love?
Well it's the million dollar question and I know my answer won't measure up
Cause I don't know what it is that I've been dreaming up
but I know, yes I know, yes I know this simply just ain't enough
Words into a question lead to problems that just won't make the grade
With a broken new solution leaves one feeling all depressed and ashamed
But you can't understand what it means always losing the faith
When the frame of your mind don't agree with the look on your face
Mary,
You got me feeling like I'm losing my mind
I search for answers in this bottle of wine
And now my cup is empty
And Mary,
I got the words but I don't know what to say
Ain't got the nerves but hey today is my day
So baby come home to me
Come home to me

Hey California
05:29
|
|||
I watched your body
and I let your soul fall down on me
'til the rain came pouring down
And I kept your secrets
the worst I buried down beneath
honey once again
Yet still your mama well
she kissed me right upon the cheek
if she only knew just where
her little daughter well
she lays her heavy head to sleep
honey that would end
Cause I've been down this road before
and I ain't going back no more
see me as I'm waving you good bye
I said bye, bye, bye my little girl
it's time you leave this cruel old world
Cause its a long hard road to hell,
said its a long hard road to hell
It's a long hard road to a
Hey California I hear you callin' me
I left your body and
I watched the floors fall out beneath
til the train came rollin'
And I love the way it sounds
you know it turns me upside down
you know I think that its calling me
suga once again
Cause I've been down this road before
and I ain't going back no more
See me as I'm waving you good bye
I said bye, bye, bye my little girl
It's time you leave this cruel old world
Cause its a long hard road to hell,
said its a long hard road to hell
It's a long hard road to a
Hey California I hear you...
Callin' out my name
down upon this street again
and so I say
let this begin
so I can find my way home
so I can find my way home
so I can find my way home
so I can find my way home on back to you
I watched your body
and I let your soul fall down on me
til the train came rollin'
and I love the way it sounds
you know it, it turned me upside down
you know I think that its callin' me
honey once again
Cause I've been down this road before
and I ain't going back no more
see me as I'm barely getting by
I said bye, bye, bye my little girl
It's time you leave, its time you leave this world
Cause it's a long hard road to hell,
Said its a long hard road to hell
It's a long hard road to a
Hey California I hear you...

Behold a faulty mind
Isn't all that hard just to break the concentration
Release the birds from my cage
But it fits so well these days
With the big bad world pressing down upon my shoulder
Shut down, unplug, and let go go go go, let it go
Yet still it chips away
When you got no one who can give your life some meaning
You just can't make it alone
Only love can save you now
and it may disappear somehow so use your lungs and shout out loud
And if you open up your ears and somber tones is all you hear
Well only love can save you now
Break bread with whom I will
Cause I stake my faith on the ones that I can lean on
They put the wind in my sail
So listen
Every dog has his day
So I take my licks and embrace the situation
Cling to the will that I've known
Only love can save you now
and it may disappear somehow so use your lungs and shout out loud
And if you open up your ears and sombre tones is all you hear
Well only love can save you now
Well I
Sip the wine and feel it taking over
And I breathe you in ever slow
Cause there's a feeling coming over
Let it go go go go go go
Let it go

Valley Of Woe
05:32

Walkin' through the chambers in the Valley of Woe
Here where the people that you meet will start your blood running cold
And the sweetest dreams you'll ever have are out of your control
So brother keep on moving
Cause the time is getting ripe to pick the fruit from the tree
Here in the stillness of evening where its too dark to breathe
And this single brick of mortar here is separating me
from 'scapin out this prison oh no
Now you best to listen closely, these are words to adhere
Cause whether you're fully in support or if it's all insincere
Well listen closely to the devil when he's whispering in you ear
You know his ways are proven because
Southbound train is flowing over
And there ain't no room for you
So take your shots now run for cover
Now whats the line you measure to?
In awhile, you'll be surrounded for miles so brother please take care
And when the water falls upon you, don't forget to come up for air
Marchin' through the valley in the wind and the cold
Here where the wickedness you see will chip away at your soul
And there ain't no use in separating friends from the foes
So brother keep on moving
Cause we speak in cryptic phrase so stay gone, so stay gone
And there's a feeling that I'm under but its wrong hey its wrong
Now listen closely darling to the words that come out, Now let it out because
Southbound train is flowing over
And there ain't no room for you
So take your shots now run for cover
Now whats the line you measure to?
In awhile, you'll be surrounded for miles so brother please take care
And when the water falls upon you, don't forget to come up for air
Lost inside the chambers of the Valley of Woe
Here where the humans and the beasts have a reversal of roles
And there ain't no chance in running from the bell as it tolls
So brother keep on moving oh no

The Light

I was once in tune with the sentimental blues that kept you lonely
But I have heard that one before, hundred times or maybe more, and so it goes
And I've been trying awful hard to simply let you down tonight
Still this attitude won't get me nowhere
But to the bottom of a bottle and there's
There's something in the way
Of the madness you portray that so alluring
Your body crashes on the scene like some broken down Machine, so cold and frail
But still I'm trying awful hard to simply let you down tonight
Still this attitude won't get me nowhere
But to the bottom of a notion I can't hide
Cause its something so contagious
Each time you bat your eyes
And though this feeling is dangerous
The pull is too strong to deny
Cause I've been here awhile and I know what its like to be alone
And there's a fear in the lies that fall together in time
To show that I'm not listening no more
I have read your face and my baby I can't trace what makes me want you
With a shot so straight and sure, and a mind so insecure, I need to know
But still I'm trying awful hard to simply let you down tonight
And still this attitude won't get me nowhere
But to the bottom of a bottle in this dive
Cause it's something so contageous
Each time you bat your eyes
And though this feeling is dangerous
The pull is too strong to deny
Cause I've been here awhile and I know what its like to be alone
And there's a fear in the lies that fall together in time
To show that I'm not listening no more
Now every one is tunin' out the radio, but we don't mind
We got the birds singing summer's song in the sweet sunshine.
And there ain't no clouds in sight so best to take it slow, this I'm sure
That this feelin' will be ours as long as we got the light
