Elton John - Between Seventeen And Twenty Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight
Whose head rests upon the bed
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
Who seems to be so close to you instead
Close to you instead

I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty and you were seventeen

So out of choice I chose rock and roll
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
From there on, there seemed no use for you
For you to stay

And if I shower around 3 a.m.
It's just to wash away
The trace of a love unwanted
Oh in the times I went astray
The times I went astray

So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty and you were seventeen

Letra: Para de Jugar - Enrique Iglesias

Category: , , , ,

3 de la mañana
no me puedo dormir
ojala te tuviera aki junto a mi
una voz por dentro
me dice ten kuidado
esta xik es peligrosa
kuando esta a tu lado si¡¡¡¡¡

[[koro]] [[x2]]

para de jugar
kon mi korazon
para de jugar kon mi korazon

por ke io
ya nu kiero sufrir
por ke io
ia nu kiero sufrir

no se si es tu sonrisa
no se si es tu mirada
o lo ke tu me haces kuando
las luces se apagan
3 de la mañana
y no me puedo dormir
ojala supiera ke pretendes de mi si¡¡¡¡

[[koro]][[x2]]

por ke io
ia nu kiero sufrir
por ke io
ya no kiero sufrir

oooo

una voz por dentro
me dice ten kuidado
esta xik es peligrosa
kuando esta a tu lado

Elton John - Bennie And The Jets Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets

Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong

Elton John - Better Off Dead Lyrics

Category: , , ,

There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on
And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning
Away in the distance there's a blue flashing light
Someone's in trouble somewhere tonight
As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse
The wind blows away all of yesterday's news

Well they've locked up their daughters and they battened the hatches
They always could find us but they never could catch us
Through the grease streaked windows of an all night cafe
We watched the arrested get taken away
And that cigarette haze has ecology beat
As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street

'Cause the steams in the boiler the coals in the fire
If you ask how I am then I'll just say inspired
If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side
Then you're better off dead if you haven't yet died

Elton John - (Gotta Get A) Meal Ticket Lyrics

Category: , , , ,

I can hound you if I need to
Sip your brandy from a crystal shoe
In the corner, in the corner
While the others climb reaching dizzy heights
The world's in front of me in black and white
I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line

I'd have a cardiac if I had such luck
Lucky losers, lucky losers landing on skid row
Landing on skid row
While the Diamond Jims
And the Kings road pimps
Breath heavy in their brand new clothes
I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line

And I gotta get a meal ticket
To survive you need a meal ticket
To stay alive you need a meal ticket
Feel no pain, no pain
No regret, no regret
When the line's been signed
You're someone else
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest

Shake a hand if you have to
Trust in us and we will love you anyway, anyway
Don't leave us stranded in the jungle
With fifty percent that's hard to handle
Ain't that so, ain't that so

Elton John - A Woman's Needs Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Where have you been are you still on my side
Is that love or regret that I see in your eyes
How many years have we played out this game
Every time we come close the answer's always the same

I guess some souls get restless under the skin
There's a shortage by half of marrying men
You know that I love you but I love to be free
So tell me what do you want, yeah from a gypsy like me

I need a ring on my finger, champagne on ice
One man to show me the best part of life
Is that what you want
Yeah, that's what I need

A home and a family makes sense for us
A solid foundation built out of trust
Do you think you can find that with someone like me
Two arms to hold you, one place to be
Are just some of the things that a woman needs

I've been shortchanged and cheated so many times
But you're all that I've wanted For all of my life
I've searched for the reasons, known how I've felt
But what can I give you when I can't trust myself

Letra: Nunca te Olvidaré - Enrique Iglesias

Category: , , , ,

Pueden pasar tres mil años.
pueden besarte otros labios,
pero nunca te olvidaré,
pero nunca te olvidaré.

Puedo morirme mañana.
puede secarse mi alma,
pero nunca te olvidaré,
pero nunco te olvidaré.

Pueden borrar mi memoria.
pueden robarme tu historia,
pero nunca te olvidaré,
pero nunca te olvidaré.

Cómo olvidar tu sonrisa.
cómo olvidar tu miradas.
cómo olvidar que rezaba
para que no te marcharas.

Cómo olvidar tus locuras.
nonooo
cómo olvidar que volabas.
cómo olvidar que aún te quiero
más que a vivir, más que a nada.

Pueden pasar tres mil años.
puedes besar otros labios,
pero nunca te olvidaré,
pero nunca te olvidaré.

Puedes echarme de tu vida.
puedes negar que me querías,
pero nunca te olvidaré.
sabes que nunca te olvidaré.

Cómo olvidar tu sonrisa.
cómo olvidar tus miradas.
cómo olvidar que rezaba
para que no te marcharas.

Cómo olvidar tus locuras.
cómo olvidar que volabas.
cómo olvidar que aún te quiero
más que vivir, más que a nada
.
Pueden pasar tres mil años.
puedes besar otros labios,
pero nunca te olvidaré,
pero nunca te olvidaré,
pero nunca te olvidaré,
pero nunca te olvidaré.

Elton John - A Word In Spanish Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I don't know why
I just know I do
I just can't explain
In this language that I use
Something leaves me speechless
Each time that you approach
Each time you glide right through me
As if I was a ghost

If I only could tell you
If you only would listen
I've got a line or two to use on you
I've got a romance we could christen

And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand
But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man
He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere
And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears
A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish

If you can't comprehend
Read it in my eyes
If you don't understand it's love
In a thin disguise
And what it takes to move you
Each time that you resist
Is more than just a pretty face
To prove that I exist

When manners make no difference
And my gifts all lay undone
I trade my accent in on chance
And fall back on a foreign tongue

Elton John - Act Of War Lyrics

Category: , , ,

This ain't no battle honey, this ain't no fight
How come you take it so hard when I stay out all night
If I take a drink, is that against the law
And if I have a good time, do you call that an act of war

Well you better believe it boy, this house is your home
I didn't build it up for you to live here on my own
And if you think it's easy to forget about me
You'd better think twice, you'd better believe it's an act of war

We're living on the front line you and me
Fighting on this battleground of misery
Oh go ahead bring on your artillery
And we'll make this an act of war
Give it all you've got `cause I'm all dug in
Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin
Winner takes all, let the best man win
And we call it an act of war

Well I'm a man of convenience I work a long hard day
After twelve long hours ain't I got the right to play
If living together is getting in the way
Then I call that an act of war

Well if that's your game then honey two can play
I'm going on the town tonight and have some fun my way
Ain't no way baby this girl's gonna stay
I call it, I call it an act of war

And it looks like time ain't been on our side
If we could turn the clock back
We might survive this act of war

Elton John - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I got your picture hanging on my wall
But it can't seem to come to me
When I call your name
I realized it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters but you're not here
They don't move me, they don't groove me
Like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

I play my games of fantasy
I pretend I don't see reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

I got some memories to look back on
Though they help me when you're gone
I'm well aware
Nothing can take the place of you being there

No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much
To make me feel better
Let's stay together

I'm so
So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

Elton John - All Quiet On The Western Front Lyrics

Category: , , ,

All quiet on the Western Front, nobody saw
A youth asleep in the foreign soil, planted by the war
Feel the pulse of human blood pouring forth
See the stems of Europe bend under force

All quiet
All quiet
All quiet on the Western Front

So tired of this garden's grief, nobody cares
Old kin kiss the small white cross, their only souvenir
See the Prussian offense fly, weren't we grand
To place the feel of cold sharp steel in their hands

It's gone all quiet on the Western Front, male angels sigh
Ghosts float in a flooded trench as Germany dies
Fever reaps the flowers of France, fair-haired boys
String the harps to Victory's voice, joyous noise

Elton John - All The Girls Love Alice Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of Mummy-doesn't-love-me blues

Reality it seems was just a dream
She couldn't get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick who's just sixteen
And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean

All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice it's my turn today

All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me
Wait till my husband's away

Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
It's like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl's bed
And it was only last Tuesday they found you in the subway dead

And who could you call your friends down in Soho
One or two middle-aged dykes in a Go-Go
And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
And hey, hey, hey, oh don't you know

Elton John - All The Nasties Lyrics

Category: , , ,

If it came to pass that they should ask
What could I tell them
Would they criticize behind my back
Maybe I should let them
Oh if only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man

If they could face it
I could take it in their eyes
Oh I know I'd make it
Their tiny minds
And sacred cows just fake it
If only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man

But I know the way they want me
In the way they publicize
If they could turn their focus off
To the image in their eyes
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
That a full-blooded city boy
Is now a full-blooded city man

Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul

No soy yo

Elton John - Amazes Me Lyrics

Category: , , ,

You're a cool little one
My dark southern breeze
Sweeps through my fingers
And it amazes me

Dixie shadowland
Your envy shelters me
Lay down your burden
Mystery of ebony

And it amazes me
Oh it amazes me
Maybe the heat babe could be this tune
It amazes me
It amazes me
What drives me crazy is that big fat yellow moon

Look up that pale light
Well she's waking the trees
I'm drifting in your hoodoo
And it amazes me

That magnolia state
Got a hold on me
I got no blues to preach
Just Mississippi company

Ain't no magic potion
No gri-gri on her side
She's bound to my salvation
Sweet little mama
Take me down by the river tonight
And it amazes me

Elton John - American Triangle Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Seen him playing in his backyard
Young boy just starting out
So much history in this landscape
So much confusion, so much doubt

Been there drinking on that front porch
Angry kids, mean and dumb
Looks like a painting, that blue skyline
God hates fags where we come from

'Western skies' don't make it right
'Home of the brave' don't make no sense
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire
Left to die on a high ridge fence
It's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming

See two coyotes run down a deer
Hate what we don't understand
You pioneers give us your children
But it's your blood that stains their hands

Somewhere that road forks up ahead
To ignorance and innocence
Three lives drift on different winds
Two lives ruined, one life spent

Elton John - Amoreena Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

And when it rains the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing fit to burst upon each other

I can see you sitting eating apples in the evening
The fruit juice flowing slowly, slowly, slowly
Down the bronze of your body
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

Oh if only I could nestle in the cradle of your cabin
My arms around your shoulders the windows wide and open
While the swallow and the sycamore are playing in the valley
Oh I miss you Amoreena like a king bee misses honey

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

Elton John - Amy Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Tread on my face if you like little lady
Turn me inside out if you have to baby
But don't you cross me off your list
I am young and I ain't never been kissed
Never been kissed by a lady called Amy

You're far out, you're fab and insane
A woman of the world, it's quite plain
My dad told me Amy's your name
Said he'd break my neck if I played your game
But he can bust my neck `cause I love you all the same

Amy I know you don't have to show your affection
`Cause the big boys like you and to you I'm an infection
So if you don't want me around
I think I'll run along and drown
You can't want this bum in town Amy

I'm beaten on the streets `cause I loves you
I watch you go to work in the summer
I don't whistle at you down the street
I would if I could but I can't whistle you see

Amy I may not be James Dean
Amy I may not be nineteen
And I may still be in romper boots and jeans
But Amy you're the girl that wrecks my dreams

Elton John - Angeline Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Well I'm work shy, I'm wild-eyed
So shut that door when the baby cries
And keep me well fed, give me warm bread
Lay my body on a feather bed
And spoil me, Angeline
Get to work when the whistle screams, Angeline

Maybe someday, some way
Somewhere in the future there's more pay
Give me more cash, bring me sour mash
Peel me a grape and fetch my stash
And bite me, Angeline
Let me use you like a sex machine, Angeline

You've got to swing that hammer, punch that card
Angeline I love you when you work so hard
Swing that hammer and sew my jeans
Angeline just loves it when I treat her mean

Well I talk tough, I act rough
Lay still honey I can't get enough
And keep your nose clean, let me be
On your knees when you speak to me
And trust me, Angeline
And talk real dirty and I'll make you scream Angeline

Letra: No Puedo más sin Ti - Enrique Iglesias

Category: , , , ,

Puede que te alejes anos luz de mi
Puede que te besen otros labios alli,
Pero estoy yo, siempre yo.

Puede que mi cuerpo descanse en paz
Puede que mis ojos no te vean mas
Pero estoy yo, siempre yo.

Y pido al sol y pido al mar
Y pido a los vientos que te traigan ya.
Mi diosa tu, tu esclavo yo
Hasta la eternidad.

Es por tu suspirar,
Es por tu seducir.
Es que yo no puedo mas sin ti
Es por esta pasion que me pone a mil
Es que yo no puede mas sin ti

Puede que te alejes anos luz de mi
Puede que te besen otros labios alli,
Pero estoy yo, siempre yo.

Puede que me arranques el corazon
Puede que supongas que lo nuestro acabo
Pero estoy yo, siempre yo

Y pido al sol obscuridad
Que esconda tu cuerpo a nadie mas
Y pido fe y pido paz
Porque no puede mas

Es por tu suspirar,
Es por tu seducir.
Es que yo no puedo mas sin ti
Es por esta pasion que me pone a mil
Es que yo no puede mas sin ti

Es que me haces sonar
Es que me haces morir
Es que yo no puede mas sin ti
Es que me haces llores
Es que me haces reir
Es que yo no puede estar sin ti

Y pido al sol y pido al mar
Y pido a los vientos que te traigan ya.
Mi diosa tu, tu esclavo yo
Hasta la eternidad.

Es por tu suspirar,
Es por tu seducir.
Es que yo no puedo mas sin ti
Es por esta pasion que me pone a mil
Es que yo no puede mas sin ti
Es que me haces sonar
Es que me haces morir
Es que yo no puede mas sin ti
Es que me haces llorar
Es que me haces reir
Es que yo no puede estar sin

Elton John - Bad Side Of The Moon Lyrics

Category: , , ,

It seems as though I've lived my life
On the bad side of the moon
To stir your dregs in sickness still
Without the rustic spoon

Common people live with me
Where the light has never shone
And the hermits flock like hummingbirds
To speak in a foreign tongue

I'm a light world away
From the people who make me stay
Sitting on the bad side of the moon

There ain't no need for watchdogs here
To justify our ways
We live our life in manacles
The main cause of our stay

Exiled here from other worlds
My sentence comes too soon
Why should I be made to pay
On the bad side of the moon

Elton John - Ball And Chain Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
You were the one to blame for tearing my world apart
I got a heart so true, you got a heart of ice
A little more love from you, it could have been paradise

I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
And if it's all the same maybe we should part
And I'm singing do do do...
I'm singing do do do...

You had to tie me down inside a cage of doubt
I'm sick of being kicked around so this is where I get out

Oh oui baby you tried to hold me but you were slowly
Driving me insane
Oh oui baby

I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
You were the one to blame for tearing my world apart
I got a heart so true, you got a heart of ice
A little more love from you, it could have been paradise

I couldn't take your pain, you couldn't take my love
So I'm gonna quit this game `cause baby I've had enough

Eloy - Company Of Angels Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Darkness prevails
mercyless war
devastating the land
with a vicious embrace
The footsteps of death
leave hunger and pain
empty hearts in dispair
tears fall like rain
Far in the distance
a glowing celestial sign
out of the silence
a murmur begins to rise
Choir:
We fear no one
we trust in Jeanne
our weapons strike like fire
We roll like thunder
skies torn asunder
a mighty roar from heaven
warriors of the Lord
Fears dissipate
minds reunite
for a holy crusade
in growing belief
the virgin of light
escorted by knights
leading banners of war
by celestial advice
Heavenly angels ride on the battlefields
wearing the colours of justice upon their shields
Choir:
Invincible - infallible
a holy blaze of fire
The choice of heaven
a deadly weapon
we fight to end the torture
the iron hand of God
female voice/choir:
Hear the message of the glory
God is with you
trust the company of angels
holy army
Dark shadows
of evil
engulf the light of glory
the powers
of darkness
demand the blood of sacrifice
Imprisoned
awaiting
the claws of inquisition
the jury
of traitors
holding the scales of justice
Her grieving
companions
shed burning tears of sadness
no mercy
damnation
the pyre claims the child of light
All that remains
tears and love
as she rose to eternal light
weapons of war
silent now
still her spirit rides on the wind
Over the ages
a mystical sound rebounds
voices of warriors
forever are chanting on
Choir:
We fear no one / ?
we trust in Jeanne / the child of light
her silver armour shining / her silver armour shining
The joice of heaven / heaven
a deadly weapon / ?
a holy blaze of fire / holy blaze of fire
Her guiding star / far in the distance
shines from afar / she rose to eternity
lightning remains forever / her spirit rides the wind
till the end of time

Eloy - A Broken Frame Lyrics

Category: , , ,

face that shaped dreams
lost in a broken frame
colour is fading but for now
seems all the same
the smile i loved in the mornings
now miles away
once restrained and then winning
once so open and next discreet

hear the drizzle of the rain
window's creaking
are there foot-steps in the hall
no a tap must be leaking
I'm lonely

all these noisy little nothings, silly nothings
drive me insane, it's scary
can you imagine just how i feel
i'm slipping i'm drowning
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

the bit of certainty i had
undermined and shaken
it's fading
the walls of sand are finally breaking
i'm slipping i'm drowning

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

nothing is collapsing it's all unchanged
but it is stuck in a broken frame
there's still a balance that will remain
and won't slip out of a broken frame

no further will i drift away
abandoning my course
i start it now
i'll catch a wave back to the shore not so far away
i start it now

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something......

Eloy - All Life Is One Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I am part of the sun and the sky and the heavens above
Move where the rivers flow fly with the breezes forever
And the earth and the sea and the hills and trees
They're a part of me
All life, all life is one
Bathe in the mountain streams
Run through green meadows and valleys below
And the earth and the sea and the hills and trees
They're a part of me
All life, all life is one
What moves the hands on the clock on the wall?
What makes the rains and the snowflakes fall?
And the pendulum swings so it drives the machines
Nature's force is the source, she's the source of us all
I feel this new found force driving the words from my pen
Here, as I compose my thoughts
Firing my heart as my heart drives the blood
Through my veins
Warmth, feel it babtise my soul
All in rhyme, a verbal possession
All in rhyme, a lyric obsession
There's a force in us all
There's a force drives the blood in my veins
And this force speaks in poetry

Eloy - Appearance Of The Voice Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Pulsating fear, surprise my ear, so come here
you are jittery, please trust in me, my dear
Take your time and come aside to green light
I loose my time, I'll disappear with daylight
A tiny gate that dances in the wall
what kind of voice, what kind of call
that pours into my hollow head,
my heavy ear, I have to leave this hall
Love to follow my inner call.

Letra: No Llores por Mi - Enrique Iglesias

Category: , , , ,

Hay una cosa que te tengo que decir
Mientra estabas lejos
Otra estuvo aqui

Todo paso tan rapido
Que ni cuenta me di
Que cai en tus brazos
Y de ahi no me fui

No te puedo mentir
La quiero demasiado
Dificil esconder lo que me hace sentir
Y con estas palabras
Yo me voy de aqui

No llores por mi
Deja que me vaja
Sin verte sufrir
Sin verte surfir

No llores por mi
Otro encontraras
Que te haga feliz
Que to haga feliz

No te puedo mentir
La quiero demasiado
Dificil esconder lo que me hace sentir
Y con estas palabras
Yo me voy de aqui

No llores por mi
Deja que me vaja
Sin verte sufrir
Sin verte surfir

No llores por mi
Otro encontraras
Que te haga feliz
Que to haga feliz

No llores por mi
Deja que me vaja
Sin verte sufrir
Sin verte surfir

No llores por mi
Otro encontraras
Que te haga feliz
Que te haga feliz

Eloy - Atlantis Agony At June 5th - 8498, 13 P.M. Lyrics

Category: , , , ,

And so the gods decided:
great is the fear for you,
when your eye takes the field against those
who tried to raise against you.
Make your eye go down
and strike the mutineers with disaster.
The eye shouldn't rest in your forehead,
now it has to go down as "Hat-Hor"...
... And the eye of "RE" mounts down
from his divine brow - down there on Earth
and strikes them with disaster...

Spirits darken the sky!
The divine guided missile is on it's way,
and it's especially directed by:
"Emnasut" - first genius of the Sun-sphere
"Gomah" - first genius of the Venus-sphere
"Ebvap" - first genius of the Moon-sphere
"Aschmunadai" - first genius of the Earth-sphere

We do not know, but they do, and they remember:
A liquid fire appears in the sky
The flash of life is radiating
The flash of death - we're surrendered
It's light shines! Shine on!
It's light shines! Shine on!

Mind power made the rocks sink,
and by this power the mass of stones will surface again!
Legends kept the secret of their wisdom
and soon it will all be revealed,
soon it all will be revealed
1983,84,85,86,87,88

We are a particle in the ocean
lost and safe like a tear,
we are born and lost in the ocean
where is mercy with our fear?!

Letra: No es Amor - Enrique Iglesias

Category: , , , ,

Are you ready?

Hoy me llamaste y yo
como si nada sucedio
nos vamo a bailar
pero a mi ni frio, ni calor

Aah, aah, aah

Y sabes bien lo que quieres
yeye

Ahh, aah, aah

Con cada curva que te mueves

CORO
Y no es amor
si cada vez tu me gustas mas
si te lo pido y tu me lo das
solo se vive una vez

Ella quiere amanecer
no te me vallas por favor, no te me vallas
ay! no te acerques mas
no quiero perder el control

Aah, aah, aah

Y sabes bien lo que quieres
yeye

Ahh, aah, aah

Con cada curva que te mueves

Rep.Coro

Y no es amor, no es amor! ~2
y sera amor?

Rep.Coro

Y no es amor
no me lo vuelvas a preguntar
da un pasito y ven pa´ ca
solo se vive una vez

Eloy - Awakening Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Empty hall imminent bounding
cold black stones strangely surrounding
the first touch of mornin' light
I feel a strange vibration
any sign of reincarnation?
Did I loose my past beyond the night?
Sunbeams reflect in my mind's eye
Jeanne was the sun that passed on by
vibrations hate and die above
nothing could touch me - Jeanne was
LOVE

Eloy - Awakening Of Consciousness Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Out of the silence - astral enlightenment
melting the spirit - into existence
past recollection - resting in silent
subconscious chambers - never remembered
Spirit and matter unite to create mortal life
physical awareness awakes to embrace solar light
Light - solar light
nature's might
holds the key to all life
born to be
and to see
deeply feel
joy and pain in your life
Predestination and karma remain at your side
steady companions of fate, circleing like sattelites
Eyes are collecting - lasting impressions
words from hypnotic - chanting suggestions
rules of society - mad regulations
laws and decrees - of civilization
All contradictions lay on the scales to be weighted
waken your consciousness, let your decisions be made
'Lone on the way - abandoned by
the force of the source - still wondering why
the goal of life - unclear and pale
vibrations from nowhere - sweep in the mind
Lost in a maze - uncertain fate
sometimes a sign - a call inside
while logic grows - intuition fades
leaving behind - an inner war
Searching the ultimate answer so near, yet so far
deep in your soul to be found shining bright like a star
time - after time
the light will shine
illuminating the way
always there
everywhere
in all life
growing bright and divine
Predestination and karma remain at your side
steady companions of fate, circleing like sattelites

Eloy - Back Into The Present Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Back into the present, it's different since I've been away:
War and desolation, it's getting worse with every day
Even back in 1358,
people had to fight to keep things straight.
Waiting in the disco, tell my friends just what I've seen
They won't believe my story when I tell them where I've been
Smoke and lights and music blow my mind
Must go somewhere quiet to unwind.

Eloy - Behind The Walls Of Imagination Lyrics

Category: , , ,

a garden wild, yet warm and delightful:
a paradise of comforting peace.
sound and clear, a gentle touching atmosphere.
an open air, serene and refreshing;
and nature pure as it was created.
sound and clear, a gentle touching atmoshpere.
sedative ringing sounds surprise the sole intruding man.
he, who's used to the noise of lies,
and often changing stands;
the sacrifice of brother's hand, deceit with dubious plans.
a world that has gone to extremes and has failed.

people surround me, peacefully, I can tell.
I see in wonder, how our links and bonds fit well.

their voices sing colourful and true;
an honesty I have never used.
ambiguity never does appear;
and barriers of speech are not feared.

harmonious singing - celestial bells I hear.
from all these people I have nothing to fear.

their voices sing colourful and true;
an honesty I have never used.
ambiguity never does appear;
and barriers of speech are not feared.

sedative ringing sounds surprise the sole intruding man.
he, who's used to the noise of lies,
and often changing stands;
the sacrifice of brother's hand, deceit with dubious plans.
a world that has gone to extremes and has failed.

Eloy - Between The Times Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Between the times
I'm rolling like a steamer on far away ocean
I fear the times
and fear the deadly wave of memory-explosion
fighting against pictures of emotion
I'll try to embrace the sun
see sunbeam - hair see Jeanne
your lightly body twinkles in fun
what do you know? - my sun!?
Between the times
the tempting bells were carried by eight purple horses
I fear the times
surviving rules were set by really unknown forces
I'm blinded by my pain
see sunbeam - hair again
your eyes, cold drops of rain
what do you know? - my pain!?

Eloy - Call Of The Wild Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Sudden vibes awaken deep inside
Words and sounds that echo in the night
It's like an animal,
it's aboriginal
So unemotional
it's takin over all your senses

Don't be afraid you must obey
the tug of the call of the wild
Deep down you know how to enjoy
feeling the call of the wild
Open the door of the cage
that's been holding you prisoner
and living a lie
and silence follows your cry

Pungent is the danger in the air
vibrant notions reach from everywhere
it seems so natural
So very physical
a little virginal
at last you're tearing down all fences

Don't be afraid you must obey
the tug of the call of the wild
Deep down you know how to enjoy
feeling the call of the wild

Now that you're sharing
the cradle of wisdom
and daring to reach for the skies
a silence follows your cry

It's like an animal,
it's aboriginal
So unemotional
it's taking over all your senses

Don't be afraid you must obey
the tug of the call of the wild
Deep down you know how to enjoy
feeling the call of the wild
don't hesitate no chance to escape
follow the call of the wild
Deep down you know how to enjoy
feeling the call of the wild
it's something that you can't deny
it's ruling all your senses

Dime tu si entiendes
lo que va a pasar
quizas mientras te mueves
poco a poco lo descubriras
olvida las preguntas
que hay mucho que inventar
hablando pierdes tiempo
y acercate a algo mas
[chorus:]
no apagues la luz
me hace falta verte
cada vez mas
no puedo adivinar
que cara me pones si te empiezo a tocar
no apagues la luz
no apagues la luz
Si quieres dame alguna idea
dime que te gusta mas
y deja que me mueva
arriba, abajo y mas alla

Eloy - Carried By Cosmic Winds Lyrics

Category: , , ,

i'm carried on by cosmic winds
like a grain of sand.
it seems as if some higher force
led me from the first.
but finally i feel like a part
of some larger plan;
i'm a piece of this puzzle that's
called the universe.

i still sense in urgency
to journey further on.
i have the notion that i've found
a start and not an end.
things i'll see and can't explain
will prove right or wrong;
and things i can't articulate
may well turn up again.

choir:
cosmic winds act as wings;
carry high - eternal rise.
cosmic winds act as wings;
carry high - eternal rise.
cosmic winds...

he who contains the light will see.
he who resists the queen will breathe.
he who asks will once be heard.
he who rests will be deceived.

Eloy - Castle In The Air Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I saw an old man sitting with his head in hands
His eyes reflected the wisdom of his life
His words painted a new world
And my thoughts just followed him

But when he stopped
Something inside tore me apart
And I can't get it back my castle in the air

Eloy - Child Migration Lyrics

Category: , , ,

You are the bows from which
your children as living arrows are sent forth
the archer sees his mark
let your bending be without fear
You may give them your love but not your thoughts
you may house their bodies not their souls
they dwell in the house of tomorrow
standing so far you'll never visit
for life goes not backward
nor tarries with yesterday
Rain clouds of grey
gather slow behind your eyes
child of today
don't forget to sail the skies
All things are in colours
tunes of different age
softer message from life's flower
hills of long gone yesterdays
Dreams are the blossom
of our courage it is said
true life long forgotten
echoes lost inside our heads

Eloy - Childhood Memories Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Before my eyes
pictures appear
from long ago
but still so clear
With skies of blue
wind in my hair
we shared a moment
without a single care
I still remember
one summer's day
she held my hand
to lead the way
And showed me treasures
love in her smile
we strolled the meadows
and sang a lullaby
Wild flowers were in bloom
wearing a crown of dew
and sunrays on the leaves
danced in and out of view
Hear the stream that's flowing by
swallows flying in the sky
all the beauties of the land
I began to understand
on that day she held my hand
Brilliant colours all around
million wonders to be found
while the perfume in the air
takes my senses unawares
giving joy without compare
Her tender voice
whispered a sound
and made my heart
begin to pound
A children's rhyme
rings in my ears
captured in my mind
to dissipate all fears
Roaming in my dream
feeling as I did before
safe within my mem'ries
opening that secret door
Brilliant colours all around
million wonders to be found
thousand graceful butterflies
rise to fill this paradise
as they catch me by surprise
Hear the stream that's flowing by
swallows flying in the sky
endless haunting melodies
spreading mystic poetry
to enlight my fantasy
There's a rainbow in my heart
even though we had to part
shining on forever bright
like a diamond in the night
always there to make things right

Letra: Muñeca Cruel - Enrique Iglesias

Category: , , , ,

muñeca cruel

Un dia mas y tu no estas aqui
No me concentro tan solo pienso en ti
Dicen que basta

Que es hora de vivir
Y es imposible
Ves lo que queda de mi

Aqui esta mi cuerpo
Para que haga lo que quieras de el

Aqui esta mi alma
Para que sigas ensañandote

Aqui esta mi nombre
Para que pongas a su lado una cruz

Aqui esta el final
De mis suenos escrito en tu papel
Muñeca cruel

Aqui esta mi sangre
Que aun se altera cuando me hablan de ti

Aqui esta por fin mi futuro
Y tu no estas en el
Muñeca cruel

Vuelve a llover
Todo me sienta mal
Salgo a buscarte
No se como empezar

Hago que duermo
Porque no quiero hablar
Mira mi vida
Es un desastre total

Aqui esta mi cuerpo
Para que haga lo que quieras de el

Aqui esta mi alma
Para que sigas ensanandote

Aqui esta mi nombre
Para que pongas a su lado una cruz

Aqui esta el final
De mis suenos escrito en tu papel
Muñeca cruel

Aqui esta mi sangre
Que aun se altera cuando me hablan de ti

Aqui esta por fin mi futuro
Y tu no estas en el
Muñeca cruel

Elliott Smith - Ballad Of Big Nothing Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Throwing candy out to the crowd, dragging down the main
The helpless little thing with the dirty mouth who's always got something to say
You're sitting around at home now waiting for your brother to call
I saw him down in the alley, having had enough of it all

Said you can do what you want to whenever you want to
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you

All spit and spite, you're up all night and down every day
A tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away
Getting into the back of a car for candy from some stranger
Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger

You can do what you want to whenever you want to
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you
Now you can do what you want to whenever you want to
Do what you want to whenever you want to
Do what you want to whenever you want to though it doesn't mean a thing
Big nothing

Elliott Smith - 2:45 AM Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I'm going out sleepwalking
Where mute memories start talking
The boss that couldn't help but hurt you
And the pretty thing he made desert you
I'm going out like a baby
A naive unsatisfiable baby
Grabbing onto whatever's around
For the soaring high or the crushing down
Hidden cracks that don't show
But that constantly just grow
Looking for the man that attacked me
While everybody was laughing at me
You beat it in me, that part of you
But I'm gonna split us back in two
Tired of living in a cloud
If you're gonna say shit now you'll do it out loud
It's 2:45 in the morning
And I'm putting myself on warning
For waking up in an unknown place
With a recollection you've half-erased
Looking for somebody's arms
To wave away past harm
Walking out on Center Circle
Both of you can just fade to black
Walking out on Center Circle
Been pushed away and I'll never come back

Elliott Smith - A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I'm floating in a black balloon
O.D. on Easter afternoon
My mama told me "Baby stay clean
There's no in-between"
And all you ladies and you gentlemen
Between is all you've ever seen or been
Fit poorly and arrange the sight
Doll it up in virgin white
You disappoint me, you people raking in on the world
The devil's script sells you the heart of a blackbird
Shine on me baby, 'cause it's raining in my heart
Sun's rising on a chopping glare
Rain dropping acid bought up in the air
A distorted reality's now a necessity to be free
It's so disappointing
First I put it all down to luck
God knows why my country don't give a fuck
Fuck
Shine on me baby, 'cause it's raining in my heart
Shine on me baby, 'cause it's raining in my heart

Elliott Smith - A Fond Farewell Lyrics

Category: , , ,

The Litebrite's now black and white
'Cos you took apart a picture that wasn't right
Pitch burning on a shining sheet
The only maker that you want to meet
A dying man in a living room
Whose shadow paces the floor
Who'll take you out in the open door
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
He said really I just want to dance
Good and evil match perfect, it's a great romance
And I can deal with some psychic pain
If it'll slow down my higher brain
Veins full of disappearing ink
Vomiting in your kitchen sink
Disconnecting from the missing link
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
I'ts just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
I see you're leaving me
And taking up with the enemy
The cold comfort of the in-between
A little less than a human being
A little less than a happy high
A little less than a suicide
The only things that you really tried
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Elliott Smith - A Passing Feeling Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell
And I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling
In the city I built up and blew to hell
I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling
Still I send all the time
My request for relief
Down the dead power line
Though I'm beyond belief
In the help I require
Just to exist at all
Took a long time to stand
Took an hour to fall
I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling
Stuck here waiting for a passing feeling
Still I send all the time
My request for relief
Down the dead power line
Though I'm beyond belief
In the help I require
Just to exist at all
Took a long time to stand
Took an hour to fall

Category: , , , ,

Hoy en tu mirada hay no se que
Algo especial
Ni siquiera el beso tan de amor
Fue natural
Fue un presentimiento o quiza
Lei tu mente
Por favor
Si es asi como sientes

Miente
Dime que me amas
Jurame que nunca
Piensas alejarte de mi
Miente vendame los ojos

No podre vivir sin ti

Dejame pedirte tu perdon
Si te ofendi
Pero no me pidas renunciar
A ser feliz
Dejame intentarlo yo hare
Lo que tu quieras
Y despues
Si es que no me quisieras
Miente
Dime que me amas
Jurame que nunca
Piensas alejarte de mi

Jurame que nunca
Piensas alejarte de mi

Grabate muy dentro
Que si tu me dejas
No podre vivir sin ti

Elliott Smith - A Question Mark Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I got a question mark
You got a need to always take some shot in the dark
I don't have to make pretend the picture I'm in is totally clear
You think that all things have a way they ought to appear
'Cos you know you know you know you know
You know you know you know you know
You know I don't
I dream
Don't know what you mean

Panic called you out and took you in
Giving you an easy game and letting you win
Giving back a little hatred now to the world
'Cos it treated you bad
'Cos you couldn't keep the great unknown from making you mad
'Cos you know you know you know you know
You know you know you know you know
You know I don't
I dream
Don't know what you mean

Said your final word, but honesty and love could have kept us together
One day you'll see it's worth it after all
If you ever want to say you're sorry you can give me a call

Elliott Smith - Alameda Lyrics

Category: , , ,

You walk down Alameda shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone
Like some precious only son
Face down, bow to the champion
You walk down Alameda looking at the cracks in the sidewalk, thinking about your friends
How you maintain all them in a constant set of suspense

For your own protection, over their affection
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cos you can't finish what you start

Walk down Alameda brushing off the nightmares you wish could plague me when I'm awake
So now you see your first mistake was thinking that you could relate
For one or two minutes she liked you
But the fix is in

You're all pretension, I never pay attention
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cos you can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cos you can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cos you can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
If you're alone, it must be you that wants to be apart

Elliott Smith - All Cleaned Out Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Here come your pride and joy
The comic little drunk
You call your boy
Making everybody smile
Who takes your pretty plan
And then becomes a disappearing man
After a little while

I saw you with your make-up running down
Now what's that all about
You say you don't want anyone around
Cause you're all cleaned out

You toss the empty beer
Not really as composed as you appear
A icicle inside
Wearing clothes that clash
Wondering is this treasure, is this trash
Still trying to decide
About 5 o'clock here comes your clown
With the foot he's throwing down

But all you say is you don't want anyone around
Come not right now
There ain't nothing to dream
You don't want to think about it

I'm sorry you seem so stumped
And I'm sorry you think you have to hold your tongue
When your so pretty and smart
I'm seeing you caving in
Becoming afraid of all these men
That you've given your heart

I saw you with your make up running down
Now what's that all about
You say you don't want anyone around
Cause you're cleaned out
All cleaned out
All cleaned out

Elliott Smith - Almost Over Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Think I'm unkind
But people aren't the way you think they are
They can't remember all the time
What it was you wanted

They paint you out in straight silhouette
But don't you get the picture yet
Why you getting all upset
The worst parts almost over

Three's such a crowd
You ought to tell me what you tell yourself
You ever gonna speak it aloud
Do I have to guess like everyone else

With an iron will to walk the walk
And the glass drawn that can't be moved to talk
Black eyes always watch the clock
The worst parts almost over

You let yourself be froze by death
You think I'm mean 'cause I call you out
You don't know what you're about
The worst parts almost over now
The worst parts almost over now
Now now

Elliott Smith - Alphabet Town Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Alphabet City is haunted
Constantina feels right at home
She probably won't say you're wrong
But you're already wrong
You're already wrong
And you threw up whatever she shot down
Said show me around this alphabet town
Said show me around
There's a name you keep repeating
You got nothing better to do
And you're with someone who'll hear you say it
And just not mind
Her hand on your arm
Her hand on your arm
She put her hand on your arm
And told you her name you can't pronounce
I'll show you around this alphabet town
I'll show you around this alphabet town
I know what you are
I just don't like it
I won't say you're wrong
I know it's what you want
And it's what I want
So let's go out
I'm ready to go out
I'll show you around this alphabet town
I'll show you around this alphabet town

I'd say you make a perfect
Angel in the snow
All crushed out on the way you are
Better stop before it goes to far
Don't you know that I love you
Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life
That fell down here to lay beside you

Don't you know that I love you
Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life
Only a frozen still life
That fell down here to lay beside you

Elliott Smith - Angeles Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Someone's always coming around here, trailing some new kill
Says I've seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill
And what's a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill
So glad to meet you
Angeles
Picking up the ticket shows, there's money to be made
Go on and lose the gamble, that's the history of the trade
And you add up all the cards left to play to zero
And sign up with evil
Angeles
Don't start me trying now
'Cos I'm all over it
Angeles
I could make you satisfied in everything you do
All your secret wishes could right now be coming true
And be forever with my poison arms around you
No one's gonna fool around with us
No one's gonna fool around with us
So glad to meet you
Angeles

Elliott Smith - Baby Britain Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Baby Britain feels the best
Floating over a sea of vodka
Separated from the rest
Fights problems with bigger problems
Sees the ocean fall and rise
Counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her
Water pourning from her eyes
Alcohol again, very bitter

For someone half as smart, you'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't help until you start

We knocked another couple back
The dead soldiers lined up on the table
Still prepared for an attack
They didn't know they'd been disabled
Felt a wave, a rush of blood,
You won't be happy 'til the bottle's broken
You're out swimming in the flood
You kept back, you kept unspoken

For someone half as smart, you'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't help you until you start

You've got a look in your eye when you're saying goodbye
Like you want to say hi

The light was on but it was dim
Revolver's been turned over
And now it's ready once again
The radio is playing Crimson and Clover
London Bridge is safe and sound
No matter what you keep repeating
Nothing's gonna drag me down
To a death that's not worth cheating

For someone half as smart, you'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't help until you start
For someone half as smart, you'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart

Eisley - Many Funerals Lyrics

Bring along your tricks and trade
We will lie here, here we lay
And though this ship is out to sea
I'm content to lie peacefully

Young and agile, seaside born
My parents death did I dear mourn
Now in this wicked world risk I
Bold endeavors by and by

Oooh...
Break, break down
Break, break down

Oooh...
And now they have no chances
They fill the empty caskets
And leave you with your tears
And, oh, now we take our chances
We all will take more chances
Before our lives end, too

Oooh...
Break, break down
Break, break down

How could you have left us here?
You had friends, you had us, goodbye

Goodbye (break, break down)
Goodbye (break, break down)
Goodbye (break, break down)
Bye

To think you and I have life figured out

'Cause you and I have
So much to give

Oooh...

I know that I have taken things
I've taken things I had for granted
I know this one thing's for sure
I won't let you ever walk out my door

Oooh...

Let's break the walls down
And find how to live
'Cause you and I have
So much to give

Oooh...

We are forming a sight to behold
We hold forever and ever

Let's break the walls down
And find how to live
'Cause you and I have
So much to give

Let's break the walls down
And find how to live
'Cause you and I have
So much to give

Oooh...

Eisley - Brightly Wound Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Its happening all the time
When I open my eyes
I'm still taken by suprise
I hold sunlight and swallow fireflies
And it makes me want to cry

I love you

I shall never grow up
Make believe is much to fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow

[Sherri's singing]
We were walking there
I had tangles in my hair
But you make me feel so pretty
You have shinning eyes
Yes like those forest lights
And it makes me want to cry

[Stacy's singing at the same time]
I was just wishing you were here
So we could walk down with to me
And we could throw all our leaves
Seeing our dragon when we look

I love you

I shall never grow up
Make believe is much to fun
Can we go far away to the humming meadow

I shall never grow up
Make believe is much to fun
This place is so lovely
It kind of makes me very happy
Lets go far away to the humming meadow

To the humming meadow

To the humming meadow

Eisley - Combinations Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I, I saw you there, wanted you there
I, I knew that it was best for me
You brought me back to that place in my heart
I thought was gone, oh so long
I was unhappy now it's gone
And I'm moving on, moving on
I'm moving on

I went for so long
And I was so wrong
And then I met you
And now I can't live without you
And I don't want to
I've done that all my life up till now

Pass the evening, bring tomorrow
How could we know that night would bring us into daylight
Combinations all around us
Fill our heads with the love we've been feeling
For time long past

I went for so long
And I was so wrong
And then I met you
And now I can't live without you
And I don't want to
I've done that all my life up till now

All the time, darling now, oh
All the time, now we'll have to make it up
We'll make it up, oh
All the days, darling now, oh
All the days, now we'll have to make them up
We'll make them up somehow
We'll make them up

I went for so long
And I was so wrong
And then I met you
And now I can't live without you
And I don't want to
I've done that all my life

I went for so long
And I was so wrong
And then I met you
And now I can't live without you
And I don't want to
I've done that all my life up till now

Eisley - Come Clean Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Mister, I don't believe in you
Mister, I don't believe in you
Just come clean all around me
With your headbleeds and your nosebleeds, too
I don't see that there's a truth
In the way you're talking to me

But let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me, oh

Mister, I don't believe in you
Mister, I don't believe in you
With the way you're talking to me
Oh, it's so soothing

And let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me

Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh

Listen to me
You pull me apart
And I know it wasn't you
'Cause you were not there
And why do you feel sorry?

Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me

Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh

Come clean all around me
Come clean all around me
Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh

Eisley - Go Away Lyrics

Category: , , ,

I am a part of your soul, boy
And when you say you're gone
I have to reach my arms outstretched to you
Because I know we're through

So go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
And leave me on my own

Finally it all makes sense
I could keep this all from you
And I could make a statement based on truth
But then it all comes tumbling down
Down, down, down

So go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
And leave me on my own
So go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
And leave me on my own

I am holding you (I am holding you)
I am holding you (I am holding you)
I am holding you (I am holding you)
I am holding you (I am holding you)

Go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, and go away
And leave me on my own
Won't you go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
Leave me on my own

Honey, leave me on my own
Leave me on my own
Leave me on my own

Eisley - Golly Sandra Lyrics

G-g-g-golly Sandra!
You've grown up really crazy...
Have I been too denying of you?

G-golly Sandra!
You've grown up so crazy....
Have I been too untrusting?

Take me down to the bridge
Where you know that I've always love you
And i'll go without stopping

Oh you are my scar
And that's not really far

Hey hey

Golly Sandra!
You've grown up really crazy....
Have I been too denying of you,
Take me down to the bridge
Where you know that I've always loved you
And I'll go there without stopping

Oh you are my scar
That's not really far

Hey

Well I guess I have should have been around to sing you to sleep
You look so beautiful...
It hurts me slightly

Oh you are my scar
And that's not really far

Hey

Oh you know I've tried so hard for you, for you

Eisley - I Could Be There For You Lyrics

Category: , , ,

She's made of sulfur in the night
All her friends say
Ring ring ring ring, where are you hiding?
Ring ring ring ring, where are you hiding?
Would you open your door?
Oh, would you open your door?

I could be there for you
Oh, I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you, oh

You're part mystery
And partly drawn, drawn to all things breathing
So ring ring ring ring, keep on breathing
Ring ring ring ring, keep on believing
If you open your door, oh
Would you open your door?

I could be there for you
Oh, I could be there for you
I could be there for you
I could be there for you, oh

Could someone please walk through with me?
I've got nothing to hide, nowhere to be
Why do we have to come through here
'Cause nothing leads me to you

'Cause you are nothing what you seem
You're always looking out for me
You are nothing what you seem
You're always looking out for me

You'll never contemplate that I am near
And help goes unseen
You're the cave admitting who you choose
And I could be there for you

I could be there for you
I could be there for you, oh
I could be there for you
I will be there for you, oh

Eisley - I Wasn't Prepared Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Oh, when the day is blue
I'll sit here wondering about you
And how the pollen fell
All around your face in strange yellow patterns

But, i wasn't prepared for this
Oh, i wasn't prepared for this

When the morning came
The bees flew down and
Wrapped themselves around me
And that's when i spoke the word
To have them trace your face for me in pollen

But, i wasn't prepared for this
Oh, i wasn't prepared for this

Come, come back to me, my, my darling
Come, come back to me, my, my darling

I wasn't prepared for this
Oh, i wasn't prepared for this

When the day is blue
I'll sit here wondering about you

Eisley - If You're Wondering Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Cast about the night with your hands
And space the space inside of our heads
And when the fighting fighter inside
With all the thrilling I hide

And I was wanting you to show me
I was wondering all the time

But if the moon shines on you while you're sleeping
It will show you all that you're feeling inside

You buckle it all down
And spread the feel of gladness around

And if I'm wondering then you show me
If you're wondering I know that

If the moon shines on you while you're sleeping
It will show you all that I'm feeling

And I thought that I had all that, that I wanted
But, boy, was I wrong
As for you, now I know

If the moon shines on you while you're sleeping
It will show you all that I'm feeling

And if I'm wondering then you show me
If you're wondering I know

Eisley - Invasion Lyrics

Category: , , ,

The colorless words are burning our heels
As the bright lights of the city fade
Taking the chase to curb our fear
As the bloodless moon casts its face

Ooh, something's not right
I can feel it inside
Something's not right

You would take the breath from my throat
And you would take the cherished people that I hold

All in time you will be one of us painless, us blameless
Go to sleep, this wont hurt a bit
Shifting your shape to our shells

Ooh, something's not right
I can feel it inside
Something's not right

You would take the breath from my throat
And you would take the cherished people that I hold

And they will try to make us forget ourselves
One by one, one by one
Call me crazy but they are after us
One by one, one by one
You don't have to know the truth
If you believe it
I believe it, too

Ooh, something's not right
I can feel it inside
Something's not right

You would take the breath from my throat
And you would take the cherished people that I hold

Eisley - Just Like We Do Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Dear dear you know that people love eachother
Just like we do, just like they do
Dear dear you know you're all i ask for
So hold on to me, hold on with me here
And there're things that follow this quietly to the pass
We've seen all those faces, we won't go looking for trouble
The rain, it tumbled down
Through the cracks in the sky
Which made your hands grow, watch your hands grow
And we still see through their plainshifted laughs
We'll hold the hands of sinners and then we will pass
Ooh-aah, ooh-aaah, ooh-aah

Eisley - Laughing City Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Follow me down to the laughing city with people changing all their minds; it's crazy.
I want this ma'am, that ma'am, no sir. Yes ma'am, that sir;
Well, I'll tell you one thing, if you're keeping something...

Then hold on, hold on to the ones you love.
Hold on, hold on to the ones you love.

Let's not fight, that's not nice.
Let's not be sore, that's not right.

Come home late, I know you're sick of working.
You're feeling down because your head is hurting, so we don't talk.

Hold on, hold on to the ones you love.
Hold on, hold on to the ones you love.

Let's not fight, that's not nice.
Let's not be sore, that's not right.

Eisley - Lost At Sea Lyrics

Sailing over wave and tide oh ho ho
Fantastic waves against our sides oh ho ho
And I'm not so afraid
Lost at sea, as i should be
And I'm not so afraid
Lost at sea, you and I, you and me

Congratulations
Cause we've made it
All the way home
All the way home
And you know that
Until the stars fall
I will always love you
I will always love you

The mystery of salt and sea oh ho ho
Has never been intriguing oh ho ho
And to me but the sea
Green is set so beautifully
Against your thoughtful face
That I must close my eyes
And turn my face

Congratulations
Cause we've made it
All the way home
All the way home
And you know that
Until the stars fall
I will always love you
I will always love you

Still floating soft
I am dreaming and I'm glad I lost
And still with my fingers
I'm drawing circles in the water
In the water
And still, still you're always there

Congratulations
Cause we've made it
All the way home
All the way home
And you know that
Until the stars fall
I will always love you
I will always love you

Eels - Birdgirl On A Cell Phone Lyrics

Category: , , ,

She has eyes disability blue
A german dog and a strict curfew
And if one man's cage is another man's stage
Then she's turned the script to another page
And she doesn't really give a damn
What you have to say

She makes a call on her friend's cell phone
The operator answers and says "you're not alone"
And if one man's ceiling is another's dance floor
Then she'll be the one running to the seashore
Trying to tell the seagulls this is home

And if one man's cage is another man's stage
Then she'll be the one wiser than her age
Trying to get the message to your ears

Eels - 3 Speed Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Got a 3 speed and banana seat
Sitting back on the sissy bar
Went to sev and got a drink
Wish i was driving in daddy's car

And i looked up at the sky last night
And i thought i saw a bomb
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?

Riding down on springhill road
Meeting alfred out in the woods
Dogs bark and mosquito's bite
Scratching the itch that makes it feel good

And i looked into the mirror last night
All i saw was a pretty blonde
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?

Life is funny
But not ha ha funny
Peculiar i guess
You think i got it all going my way
Then why am i such a fucking mess?

Want a pony and a birthday cake
Want a party with a scary clown
Kneel down and bow to the princess
Kneel down for the queen of the town

And i looked up at the sky last night
And i thought i saw a bomb
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on

Eels - A Daisy Through Concrete Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Wake up the dying
Don't wake up the dead
Change what you're saying
Don't change what you said
Now that it's time that
I got out of bed

When i walk myself down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And i stumble on a daisy through concrete

Pink and brown babies in pink stroller cars
Know that it's good
They don't care where they are
They know that home doesn't feel very far

When i walk myself down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And i stumble on a daisy through concrete

Airplane is flying up in the sky
Making a pattern with the white lines
Looks like a heart
Or maybe a pie

Eels - Agony Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Am i gonna be all right?
No i'm not gonna be all right
Nothing is all right now
Am i gonna see the sun come up?
Or am i going down?
'cause every day i'm here
All i feel is sheer
Agony

Friends tellin' me that maybe i need
Some psychiatric help
Yeah they're always so quick to tell you
Just how to get on with it
But i look into the mirror
And all i see is age, fear
And agony

If i could just remember what it was like
When i was younger
Before all the joy and happiness
Was replaced with hunger
Now all i've got to show for the seeds that didn't grow
Is agony

Eels - All In A Day's Work Lyrics

Category: , , ,

When i was born the doctor said
There's something wrong inside that baby head
When i was a boy at sunday school
I told them all that they were fools

All in a day's work
To live and breathe
A sight to see
And so it goes

I went into the fortune teller's
She wouldn't read my horoscope
I go into the laundromat
The people all buy extra soap

All in a day's work
To live and breathe
A sight to see

Eels - Animal Lyrics

Category: , , ,

If i could love you
I'm sure i would
If i could hold you
And feel understood
I'd be there now
But i don't know how
'cause i am an animal

Bundle of rags
Wrap me tight
Keep me safe inside
Warm at night

I am no more
I am not good
I am so sorry
If you misunderstood
I'd make it up
But i cannot
If i am an animal

Eels - Ant Farm Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Hate a lot of things
But i love a few things
And you are one of them

Hard to believe
After all of these years
But you are one of them

Walk down the street
I'm thinking:
Everybody move along
I've got a sad-hearted needing
To belong

Nevertheless
It's all the mess you made
But i can let it go

Walk down the street
I'm thinking:
Look at all the ants in a farm
I've got a sad-hearted feeling
To harm

Hate a lot of things
But i love a few things
And you are one of them

Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon

The gods smile hard down upon
A love that's shared
Heaven's awaiting those who dare

Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon

A sweeter feeling i can't guess
Will ever be
A truer union i can't see

I don't know how much more i can take
I will run through the streets
I will howl at the moon
If you and me cannot be happening soon

Eels - Bad News Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Guess i'm doing something wrong
Never feel right in these shoes
Pocket full of matches and a head full of flames
Got to warn you that i'm bad news

She tucks me in and then she screams
"one day you will have to choose
Either take care of me or take care of you
And don't pretend you're not bad news"

Come on now i'll take you home
You don't have a thing to lose
But stick around long enough and you'll find out
I am nothing but bad news

You can never change where you're from
No matter who i will accuse
I'm gonna get on with a better life
And one day i won't be bad news

It's the same everyday when i wake up
It's the same in the way that you
Gave me up
In the middle of a swan dive

And i was soaring down
Perfect and slow

But that problem lies only within
Just 'cause you are not like the others

Beautiful freak

Too good for this world
But I hope you will stay
And I'll be here to see that you don't fade away

Duck down and then go for cover

And know that I, I love you
Beautiful freak

You know that I, I love you
Beautiful freak

Edwin McCain - Day Will Never Come Lyrics

Category: , , ,

The smile on your face could sacrifice salvation
As the winter sunshine fades to bring you down
A fumble in the dark, it's a journey on the night train
A friendship never grows to bring you down

[Chorus:]
Everybody's waiting for God to fall out of the skies
Is it all in the stars tonight
Is it all in your mind
That day will never come
A sentimental dream, my feelings based on instinct
As I curl up and sleep on the floor
If there's danger ahead that's keeping you waiting
And you know you've had enough when the morning comes

[Chorus]

Is it all in the stars tonight
Is it all in your mind
Cause I don't really know

Edwin McCain - (I've Got To) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That Lyrics

Category: , , , ,

I like to think about the time I met you
Living with your people down in New Orleans
Mad at your mama cause she'd never let you
Ride in no nasty limousine
Later on the levee with the moon up above
I lost my heart and confessed my love
Oh Lucy, God have mercy
I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that

One summer night in a field of wheat
God's sweet lanterns hanging in the sky
Moving light on your tiny feet
I knew I had to love you till the day I die
They talk about Amazing Grace
It meant something when I saw your face
Oh Lucy, God have mercy
I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that

I think of all the little things that I never told you
I think I may get to hold you someday
It's my brain just like a man possessed
I can't do me no work, I can't get me no rest
I can't understand it baby

Don't like to think about the way it ended
I hate remembering the things that I said
I dream a dream of love so splendid
I wake up hard in an empty bed
I wonder who'll be loving you next
Some fool will be writing bad checks
Oh now Lucy, God have mercy
I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout you

Edwin McCain - 3 A.M. Lyrics

Category: , , ,

It's 3:00 AM
I'm awake and my heart is still dreaming
It's 3:00 AM
Outside I hear the souls still screaming
It's been so long you know since my head's been this clear
Just like a ship lost in the night
I just don't know which way I should steer

But I'll keep chasing my dreams
And only you can make them real
I pour my heart out every night
But do you know the way that I feel

Sometimes this is work
And don't you know sometimes this is play
Sometimes you are listening to me
And sometimes you don't hear a damn word that I say
Sometimes there's a girl
Sometimes I go home alone
And I guess it's no wonder right now
That I do very well on my own

But I'll keep chasing my dreams
And only you can make them real
I pour my heart out every night
But do you know the way that I feel

And I will play just as long as you will listen
Now I'm in no big hurry to get back on the road
Sometimes in this lifestyle
I feel like there's so much that I'm missing
Well I'm missing you
It's just that I'm...so far from home
It's 3:00 AM
I'm awake and my heart is still dreaming
It's 3:00 AM
Outside I hear the souls still screaming

Edwin McCain - Alive Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Al, he sells records down on old St. Charley's Street
He's cleaning up Fat Tuesday's mess he keeps the sidewalks neat
And he just lost his father and he just lost his wife
And if it wasn't for the music he couldn't get on with his life

And he knows what I know
It's not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know we're alive

Well now Be Be's singing gospel
And down on Bourbon she sings the blues
She plays on all my heart strings curls my toes up in my shoes
And she knows what I'm after
Chase my dreams with all my might
She says you shouldn't be so anxious
And deep down I know she's right

And she knows what I know
It's not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know we're alive

Well get on board the rocket
Step right into the front car
You know life's a roller coaster
It ain't got no safety bar
Raise your voices up with laughter
Bring it in with one big sigh
Consecrated in the wonder...we're alive

Norman he plays music but only in my dreams
Shows me all the beauty that soulful music brings
But sometimes he's a specter and I wake up clenched with fear
But lesson good or bad he always keeps me clear

And he knows what I know
It's not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know we're alive

Edwin McCain - America Street Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Rubber on my tires making contact with the road
Sign on the street post tells me which way I should go
Riding down America Street funny that it's one way
Riding down from uptown to where the buildings are broken down in decay

America Street it's right nearby
Land of the free and the brave
If we can't work and make some change
There won't be much of this land left to save

It's a classic case of misdirection and slight of hand
We watch while our deficit grows
What a shame that we can't teach our kids to read
Makes you wonder where all the tax money goes

Well America Street it's right nearby
Land of the free and the brave
And if we can't work and make some change
There won't be much of this land left to save

Won't be much to save
Excuse me sir pardon me can you spare some change
Because it's cold and I live outside
A thoughtful search into my pockets finds enough so he can rocket
Right up to the bar and enjoy his lie

America Street it's right nearby
Land of the free and the brave
And if we can't work and make some change
There won't be much of this land left to save
Won't be much to save...

Edwin McCain - Anything Good About Me Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Rolled in last night
To the dawn, the porch, and both our floodlights
No excuse
But we were having such a good time
Why, oh why
Can't I just walk the straight and narrow
So ashamed But I'll do it all again tomorrow
Maybe you're the only one that sees
Anything good about me
Anything good about me
I found a friend
To get the number just to call you
Line was jammed I tried and tried, but could not get through
All these calls
To warn you of my scoundrel heart
But these walls
And still they can't keep us apart

[Chorus:]
And I promise to take care
And love you
If you promise to keep seeing
Anything good about me
And I swear sometimes
There's asphalt running through my veins
And let me go
And never ever pull my reins
And I'll return
With cuts and bruises, scarred but smarter
Lick my wounds
And try again but twice as hard

[Chorus]

Edwin McCain - Babylon Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Well sweetness, I love it when you wrap me up
I'm a drowning man for the third time
Twenty-one gun salute in your flag of mercy
Preparing my body for a burial at sea

So put your tongue in my ear
Through this veil of tears
Whisper what's gone wrong? gone wrong?
The world, the world she's a Babylon

Coming in from the coast it's a bad nor'easter
Waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance
Build up the tower, unlocking the secrets
The pride of man is so contentious

[Chorus]

This is no pleasure cruise in the South Pacific
I'm bailing ice water up to my neck
Titanic's captain said that God couldn't sink her
You might say he learned a healthy respect

[Chorus]

Edwin McCain - Beautiful Life Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Another beautiful morning under stars and bars
And F series pickups and rusted out cars
And they're eating breakfast at the strip bar
Just to have a peek...
And the beer soaked angels spread their wings
And dream of twenties and diamonds and things
And somehow that might ease the sting
Of the company they keep
Yeah...
And the vets still talk about the Tet offensive
And the freshmen boys all look so pensive
Because living large is so expensive
Hope daddy fueled the jet...
And we'll all fly out to the Hard Rock casino
And we'll put on our neatly pressed and fine chinos
And we'll laugh at the guy in the El Camino
Is that the only car he could get?
It's a beautiful life
It's just as advertised
It's all for one low price
Just read the fine print, and you'll be content
With your beautiful life
And record smoothies say, 'What a sound'
You're the greatest thing we've found
But you're gonna have to lose a few pounds
We're gonna put you on TV
And don't think our place is so swank
Don't worry about that guy, he's high on crank
That's exactly why his last record tanked
And let that be a lesson to me

[Chorus:]
And all our churches glow
Communion wafers trash TV shows
Say, 'Hey, at least you don't have this strife'
'Cause you'll be warm and safe
In your beautiful life
Yeah...

And it's hard to tell what's true compassion
When it's dressed up in hair and nails and fashion
And the tabloids all rush to cash in on what we should believe
And I hope I never see the day
When there's nothing left on the planet left to save
And oxygen is the designer crusade
As we all fight to breathe...

[Chorus]

Edwin McCain - Bitter And Twisted Lyrics

Category: , , ,

A born killer
Bitter and twisted
Taking it out
On your mother and sister
White lie
I've been a bad boy
Does anyone know the way
Out of the freak show
Kill joy
Jonny come lately
He's taking my pain
And driving me crazy
A child star
Messing with fire
Guns in my hand
And I'm walking the wire

Could it be I'm not worth saving
Do you see
Any redemption for my soul
I believe I can make it
When the darknes comes
Down on me

Outside you got the feeling
The walrus cried out
But no one was listening
He said "happiness is a warm gun"
Give me some chances
We'll work in the long run

Could it be I'm not worth saving
Do you see
Any redemption for my soul
I believe I can make it
Whent he darkness comes
Down on me

So wasteful
And distasteful
What can we destroy

Could it be I'm not worth saving
Do you see
Any remption for my soul
I beleve I can make it
When the darkness comes
Down on me

Down on me

Edwin McCain - Bitter Chill Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Sweet love is keeping a very close score
She's cheated death more than one time
The tears roll down her face and on to the floor
The psychic's been reading her mind

Women with secrets men with their rage
The lines run deeper than words on the page
Breeze through the window, it turns bitter chill
Pretend we don't feel it, lie here real still

Whispered in visions of new earth shine
We volunteer to do nothing again
The world falls around us all we can do is whine
Living out the future of original sin

Women with secrets men with their rage
The lines run deeper than actors on the stage
Breeze through the mountains turns bitter chill
Pretend we don't feel it, lie here real still

Well now follow me to the water
Dive right through the film
Swim in the madness, fulfill every whim
Why worry about tomorrow that you'll never see
Why talk about the children that will never be
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive us our monstrosities
No more stories of the Quick and the Dead
The asphalt will burn with our liabilities

Edwin McCain - Black And Blue Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Showed up in a sleeve of tattoos
High definition broadcast of attitude
It's like she wants me to know she's got nothing left to lose
Me too
Little bag of junk gets her high
Keeps her from thinking bout the shadows in her mind
She likes me
She knows i won't ask her why she cries
Let me fall down
You can fall too
We'll call us banged up black and blue
Let me find out what happened to you
Wakin' up banged up black and blue
Sometimes it's the struggle that makes it good
I woudlnt' judge ya even if i could
There's no magic in the line
It's misunderstood
You could
You would
Let me fall down
You can fall too
We'll call us banged up black and blue
Let me find out what happened to you
Wakin' up banged up black and blue
[sax solo]
Let me fall down
You can fall too
We'll call us banged up black and blue
Let me find out what happened to you
Wakin' up banged up black and blue
Banged up black and blue
Banged up black and blue

Edwin McCain - Cleveland Park Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Pacing gently, summer wind
The king stares softly to the sky
Will he ever see his home again
Deep from his heart he starts to cry

As his songs hit the air and young hearts are awake
Soon they join in the chorus sharing all his ache

There's a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summer's on, the lion's song
Sung from Cleveland Park

And the high school kids ignore it
They have their own tune
They're just showing off the speakers in their ride
I know what I'm sayin'
I grew up too soon
And youth goes hand in hand with foolish pride

As their song hits the air and young hearts start to break
The lions join in the chorus sharing all their ache

There's a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summer's on, the lion's song
Sung from Cleveland Park

In Cleveland Park trees breathe a sigh of all the summers gone
Skeletons in wintertime, they sing the lions song

There's a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summer's on, the lion's song
Sung from Cleveland Park

Edwin McCain - Coming Down Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Welcome back to earth my fine young lucky southern son
How was your trip to outer-space it sure did look like fun
You seem somewhat puzzled like you just can't readjust
You're covered in the battle scars and pitted up with rust

And your mom and dad have missed you and I'm sure your friends agree
There's no substitute for solitude and anonymity

Chorus:
I'm just coming down from this cloud ahead
World was spinning around the voices echo things that she said
I'm just coming down from this starry sky
I'm just glad to be here and most of all I'm thankful I'm alive

I hear the whispers in the crowd from jealous tongues
Shadows from the shameful light my ego's come undone
And your dignity has missed you and I'm sure your soul agrees
This fire sale has cost you your pace and sanity

[Chorus]

The path that I must take will lead me to despair
When I'm a million miles away will no one even care

[Chorus]

Edwin McCain - Couldn't Love You More Lyrics

Category: , , ,

After the big parade, when all the limelight fades
I'll be the one to kiss your eyes
The roar fades in the air like hope from a lover's prayer
The light from my heart begins to rise

[Chorus:]
And they said I couldn't love you and that it would never last
He's just a crazy boy just look at his past
And they said I couldn't love you but that was just a lie
I couldn't love you more if I tried

I was the lucky one, the one having all the fun
Running into the sun, the party never ends
You waited there for me so loving and patiently
Shutting out sad words from your friends

[Chorus]

I don't own any armor and I might not be that brave
You might be the one I rescue but I'll be the one you save

[Chorus]

Edwin McCain - Darwin's Children Lyrics

Category: , , ,

Seven million years of progress handed down on silver wings
Of gossamer and protein still we haven't learned a thing
Are we caught up in our anger, locked up in our rage
In the opera of selection on this our earthly stage

And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave
Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave
Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind
Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time

The ribbons of our cigarettes vanish in the air
In the glow of our great teacher we sit and blankly stare
And the sky could open up and what would we have to say
Something cute about burning out, better than fading away

And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave
Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave
Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind
Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time

On the wings of invention now we hurdle toward our fate
As sure as the sunset burns
Collective resignation, evolutionary fate
When will we ever learn

And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave
Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave
Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind
Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time
