You know I sure do love to laugh
But if I did someone would be offended
Like the self righteous chosen few and self-anointed
Who claim to be the only ones who know what was intended
They said ole Elmer Fudd can no longer have his gun
And then went after poor ol' Pepé Le Pew
They're making it quite clear that trying to have fun
Will no doubt have 'em comin' after you
 
Ain't nothin' funny anymore
I guess laughing's going out of style
There was a time a good joke would have you on the floor
Now you're in danger if you even smile
Laughter used to be the best medicine
But these days it just makes some people sore
It's too bad, it's really sad
You get happy, they get mad
Ain't nothin' funny anymore
 
Too many people got too many problems
With every little thing that from A to Z
I guess they never stopped to think that their self righteous attitude
Is offensive to some folks like me
The pastor asks for a moment of silence
And while heads are bowed a little kid breaks wind
A coyote unpacks an ACME rocket
And it misfires and blows him up again
 
Ain't nothin' funny anymore
I guess laughing's going out of style
There was a time a good joke would have you on the floor
Now you're in danger if you even smile
Laughter used to be the best medicine
But these days it just makes some people sore
It's too bad, it's really sad
If you act happy, they get mad
And there ain't nothin' funny anymore
 
Bye bye Aunt Jemima, so long Uncle Ben
Yeah, those who claim to care want you gone with the wind
There may come a time when history don't exist
And it's a shame 'cause they won't ever know the fun they missed
So here's to the good times that are gone
And the way we used to laugh before
I still smile when I think about 'em
But ain't nothin' funny anymore
 
You know that I still smile when I think about 'em
But ain't nothin' funny anymore
 
Naw
I bet you're wondering what I'm smiling about
Well maybe the joke is on Y.O.U.
 

got a brand-new girlfriend, she's hot from head to toe
I met her on the mid-way 'bout an hour ago
I may not have a future and she may have a past
But the fortune teller read our palms and told us this could last
One good thing about her for sure that I know
She's a hooooooooooooochie koochie dancer in this carnival show
 
She said you gotta see me dance and see me do my thing
And I was thinkin' wow I need to buy this girl a ring
She said her show was somethin' I really had to see
And if I gave her $50 bucks she'd get me in for free
 
She said her mom is on parole, her dad's in Leavenworth
My buddies think I'm crazy but hey this just might work
So I asked my friend Bud Weiser 'hey Bud what do you think?'
And Bud said what he always says 'well first let's have a drink'
There's one good thing about her for sure we both know
She's a hooooooooooochie koochie dancer in a carnival show
 
And then we went behind the tent and that's when I felt a thud
I woke up just lyin' there in the sawdust and the mud
I musta hit my head on somethin', ya know it's dark back here
'No officer, I ain't been drinkin'... Well just a couple of beers'
 
The police found my wallet and my high school ring
I didn't know that they were gone, it's the darndest thing
I still feel kinda woozy from that corndog that I ate
I think I'll go behind the tent and just sit back there and wait
For my brand-new sweetheart, she'll look for me I know cause
She's a hooooooooooochie koochie dancer in this carnival show
 
'Listen officer, she was back there when I hit my head. She'll swear that it's all so'
She's a hooooooooooochie koochie dancer in this carnival show
 

A gambler walked into a bar
With an octopus in a great big jar
Set it down and said to the bartender 'tell you what'
'I'll bet you a couple of beers against two free hours of work around here
My friend can play any instrument you got'
Well the day was slow and the business light
And wouldn't pick up 'til later that night
So the bartender scratched his head and said 'why not'
So he walked up on that dark bandstand
Came back with a Flugelhorn in his hand
Put it down and said 'OK play me something hot'
 
Then all of a sudden that jar began to shake
And the Octopus came slithering out like a great big wad of snakes
 
He grabbed that horn and rolled around
First on the bar then on the ground
And the bartender said 'you lose' in a laughing voice
The gambler said 'no, he's just confused
It's those three valves he's seldom used
You see, a bugle is his instrument of choice'
Well the octopus and the gambler drank their beers
Then octopus crawled back in the jar with a burp everyone could hear
 
The bartender said 'now don't go away
I've got something that he can't play'
Then he left for a minute and came back with a saxophone
The gambler said 'double down this time'
And four more beers were set in a line
And the octopus crawled out and two beers were quickly gone
 
The patrons in the bar all gathered 'round
To see if that saxophone would emit a sound
 
Then he grabbed that sax and rolled around
First on the bar then on the ground
Till the bartender said 'now do you wanna concede?'
The gambler said 'he's just feelin' it out
And before he puts that thing in his mouth
He needs a minute or two to moisten up his reed'
 
The octopus crawled back in the jar and the gambler drank his beers
The bartender all frustrated said 'now wait a minute here!
I'll bet you the deed to this whole bar
That slimely critter in that jar
Can't play an instrument that I've got in the back
And if you lose the both of you
Will work for me doin' what I choose for the next six months
Now what do you say to that?'
 
And the gambler said 'well buddy you're on
Just bring out your sackbut or xylophone'
And the bartender said 'oh it's nothin' quite that trite'
And he went in the back and soon emerged
With the awful-est sound you ever heard
And laid down Great Highland Scottish bagpipes
 
Now the octopus must have thought those bagpipes glamorous
Because he caressed them in manner clearly amorous
 
Then they began to roll around
First on the bar then on the ground
Till the bartender said 'I've got him this time, it's true'
The gambler said 'oh he'll settle down
And play it when he stops foolin' around
And figures out that playin' it is ALL he's gonna do'
 
The gambler and the octopus they were the best I swear
There was no other like them anywhere
The gambler and the octopus they were a winning pair
A straight royal flush could not compare
 
Well it wasn't a fair bet cause the gambler cheated
Yeah the Octopus was a graduate of Julliard
And a member of the American Federation of Musicians
He was also President of the Charlie McCoy Fan Club
Now you can hear him every night playing in the Gamblers Bar down on Lower Broad
 
Hey bartender
Eight more beers for my little buddy
If you please
 

I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
 
I was raised, the little young nigga doin' bad shit
Talk much shit, 'cause I never had shit
I could remember being whupped in class
And if I didn't pass, mama whupped my ass
Was it my fault, papa didn't plan it out
Broke out left me to be the man of the house
I couldn't take it, had to make a profit
Down the block, got a glock and I clock grips
Makin' G's was my mission
Movin' enough of this shit to get my mama out the kitchen
And why must I sock a fella,
Just to live large like Rockefeller
First you didn't give a fuck but you're learnin' now
If you don't respect the town then we'll burn you down
God damn it's a motherfuckin' riot
Black people only hate police so don't try it
If you're not from the town then don't pass through
'Cause some O.G. fools might blast you
It ain't right but it's long overdue
We can't have peace till the niggas get a piece too
I want G's so you label me a criminal
And if I die, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
 
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
 
Here on Earth, tell me what's a black life worth
A bottle of juice is no excuse, the truth hurts
And even when you take the shit
Move counties, get a lawyer, you can shake the shit
Ask Rodney, LaTasha, and many more
It's been goin' on for years, there's plenty more
When they ask me, when will the violence cease?
When your troops stop shootin' niggas down in the street
Niggas had enough time to make a difference
Bear witness, own our own business
Word to God, 'cause it's hard tryin' to make ends meet
First we couldn't afford shit now everything's free so we loot,
Please don't shoot when you see
I'm takin' from them 'cause for years they would take it from me
Now the tables have turned around
You didn't listen, until the niggas burned it down
And now Bush can't stop the hit
I predicted the shit, in 2Pacalypse
And for once I was down with niggas, felt good
In the hood bein' around the niggas, yeah
And for the first time everybody let go
And the streets was death row
 
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
 
I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under, I wonder what it take to make this
One better place, let's erase the wait state
Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right
'Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight
And only time we deal is when we kill each other
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And though it seems Heaven-sent
We ain't ready to have a black President, huh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
The penitentiary's packed and it's filled with blacks
I wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth living, should I blast myself
I'm tired of being poor and even worse I'm black
My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
Pull a trigger, kill a nigga*, he's a hero
Mo' nigga, mo' nigga, mo' niggas
I'd rather be dead than a po' nigga
Let the Lord judge the criminals
If I die, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
And I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
Just think, if niggas decide to retaliate
Soldier in the house, I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
 
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
I wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
 

I write to you for the last time from my death bed oh dear mother
My health is gone, I'm fading fast, and I fear I'll not recover
I've lost 100 pounds, my hair, my sight, and this illness had its nexus
The day I judged the Red-Hot Chili Cook-Off in Jalapeño, Texas
 
As you know in Tennessee, you fed us normal things
Yeah, like Tabasco seasoned barbecue and spicy chicken wings
But I've got a friend down here in Texas who's a Chili Cook-Off judge
And on the day of the state-wide Cook-Off he lay sick and couldn't budge
 
'I'm sicker than a dog' he said 'you'll have to take my place
All you do is pick the chili you like after givin' 'em all a taste'
So of course I did what I had to do to help out my old friend
But that decision ruined my life and brought me to this sorry end
 
Do not eat Texas chili Mama or you will surely die (You will surely die)
Don't even mention Texas chili to me, I will tell you why
Just the thought will fire up memories that'll wreck my solar plexus
Of the day I judged the Red-Hot Chili Cook-Off in Jalapeño, Texas
 
They led me to the judge's stand and sat me in my place
Put three bowls of chili in front of me just to sample, just to taste
Number 1 was Dragon's Breath and it had such a nice aroma
I took a big old bite and nearly slipped into a coma oh
 
Oh sweet Lord what is this stuff, my uvula's on fire
My ears are ringing and my nose is runnin' and my feet are startin' to perspire
Number 2 was called Flame Thrower and it was not misnamed
One taste my eyes, ears, nose and throat all shot out long blue flames
 
Help! Somebody call 911, I don't think I can breathe
I can't seem to catch my breath and all I can do is wheeze
Then I heard somebody screaming, screaming uncontrollably
I turned to see who it was and Lord have mercy, it was me
 
The winner was simply Charlie's Chili, sounded innocent enough
But it knocked me backwards off the stand with one taste of the stuff
I got up runnin' looking for a doctor or an ice cold bottle of water
I downed a keg of beer and six snow cones and it only made me hotter, ah!
 
It's been a year now and I can only sip a smoothie now and then
If I try some solid food the flames flare up again
I've galled and burned and blistered from my mouth down to my colon
And what little skin that's left at all is inflamed and badly swollen
 
So I write to you, dear mother, just to say goodbye
And to warn you and the family of one thing before I die
Do not eat Texas chili, it'll put you in the ground
And even if you should survive you won't be able to sit down
 
Do not eat Texas chili Mama or you will surely die (You will surely die)
Don't even mention Texas chili to me, I will tell you why
Just the thought will fire up memories that'll wreck my solar plexus
Of the day I judged the Red-Hot Chili Cook-Off in Jalapeño, Texas
 

Well, they stowed away on a freighter out of the Congo
And docked in New Orleans
Poked around a bit, but they just didn't fit
In that Dixieland jazz scene
Made their way over to Biloxi
But that just wasn't meant to be
But when they knocked on the doors down in Gulf Shores
Well, the rest is history
Wandered into a juke joint down on the beach
While the house band was on a break
Snuck up on the bandstand when nobody was looking
And the house began to shake, yeah
Everybody there had to turn to stare
They couldn't believe their ears
'Cause when they heard the sound that was being laid down
Well, the whole place broke out in cheers
 
The gorilla played the guitar
Baboon played the bass
Chimpanzee was a sight to see
Playing drums all over the place
The monkey sang funky backup
Played piano like he had four hands
And the orangutan reared back and sang
Like an old Alabama blues man
So help me, Hannah, they're the cat's pajamas
And I ain't just pounding sand
Yeah, they're top bananas in South Alabama
They're the CoCo Cabana (CoCo Cabana)
CoCo Cabana Band
 
Well, the highbrows and the lowbrows
The beach bums and the elite, yeah
They all gather 'round when the sun goes down
It's hard to find a seat
They jam into that beach juke joint
Everybody starts to jump and jive
'Cause when the monkey band takes the bandstand
The whole place comes alive
 
The gorilla plays the guitar
Baboon plays the bass
Chimpanzee is a sight to see
Playing drums all over the place
The monkey sings funky backup
Plays piano like he has four hands
And the orangutan rears back and sings
Like an old Alabama blues man
So help me, Hannah, they're the cat's pajamas
And I ain't just pounding sand
Yeah, they're top bananas in South Alabama
They're the CoCo Cabana (CoCo Cabana)
CoCo Cabana Band
 

You know, a lot of folks have suggested I do a song about gas, so I cut one
 
At a recent rare press conference in the White House rose garden
A reporter was heard to ask Mr. President 'what's your biggest problem?'
With a furrowed brow he turned to the camera and solemnly started to speak
He said, I've tried to contain the situation but we seem to have a leak
Then his eyes glazed over and through the haze, he said, I don't want to be crass
And I see you've gotten wind of the problem even though you're wearing masks
But it had to slip out sooner or later and the aftermath will surely linger
So all I can say is take a deep breath, strike a match, and pull my finger
 
My fellow Americans the problem is (Gas)
We need to clear the air (Gas)
As you know I've decreased production (Gas)
It's a problem everywhere (Gas)
It's a weapon of mass destruction (Gas)
It's a stinky situation (Gas)
Will leave a stain on my whole administration (Gas)
How did I ever lose control (Gas)
Wuh oh, here we go, fire in the hole
 
Well, something sure smells about this situation
And Congress won't allow any drilling
I even raised a stink at the United Nations
I said somewhere there's got to be a villain
Cause I smell a rat behind it all
But we'll smoke him out sure as shootin'
It's anybody's guess, but I must confess
That all the evidence is pointing to Putin
 
(Gas)
I don't want to be a demagogue (Gas)
But I think you will agree (Gas)
Somebody's got to cut through the fog (Gas)
It's a national emergency (Gas)
It's a stinky situation (Gas)
Will leave a stain on my whole administration (Gas)
How did I ever lose control (Gas)
Uh oh, here we go, fire in the hole
 
(Gas)
Where you going? (Gas)
Hold on I'm not through yet (Gas)
The roses are starting to turn brown (Gas)
Well, alright just go on out there (Gas)
Leave me alone (Gas)
First Lady, what's for dinner tonight?
Oh no, not beans again
 
(Gas)
 

And on the road to East Salina
And all alone we hear the news
The bleeding heart that I can lean on
The turning door that leads to you
 
Who′s gonna save you now
Fall where you're found
Who′s gonna let you out
When it's real?
When it's real?
 
Who′s gonna hold you near
Go with your fear
Only the love you need
Is it real?
Is it real?
Is it real?
 
Tell me something I can leave on
A colored heart don′t need to lose
A little love we made to lean on
A little love to make you choose
 
Who's gonna save you now
Fall where you′re found
Who's gonna let you out
When it′s real?
When it's real?
 
Who′s gonna hold you near
Go with your fear
Only the love you need
Is it real?
Is it real?
Is it real?
 
The colored heart that I believe in
The open door that we have closed
 
Who's gonna save you now?
Fall where you're found
Who′s gonna let you out
When it′s real?
When it's real?
 
Who′s gonna hold you near?
Go with your fear
Only the love you need
Only the love you need
Is it real?

I come to write a different word in a different way
I speak of your hurt so that you can ache
I run to raise a warning sign in the early hours
I know you don′t mind that you lost your powers
 
So run across the water in the air
Run across to find all your fears
Tear it all from under 'til you′ve lost your mind
But tell me that you...
 
Set yourself free
Set yourself free
Free of the mire and false desires
And pull free

I′ve been told
To leave echoes
Lose what's old
And deal it all
Begin it all and then
 
I′ve seen through
Doorways gained
What you might do
To hold it all
To hold it all in vain
 
So give me your hope
And give me your hand
Where are we running?
We find what we can
 
Give me enough
To carry the new
We keep a light on
Ooh, a light on
To catch the echoes of you
 
Well you've been well
For knowing brief
And how her visit cracked the gloom
And you keep it there
You hold it and release
 
So give me your hope
And give me your hand
Where are we running?
We find what we can
 
Give me enough

All my days are consumed by thoughts of you

That you know right from wrong
I′m holding on to what you gave me
While you're pushin' me to move on
We know we′re fooling ourselves
So you put your mind at ease
Knowing that we can′t do it again
While I keep on begging you please
 
Don't leave me hanging on (hanging on)
In and out of love (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don′t leave me hanging on (hanging on)
In and out of love (ooh-ooh-ooh)
 
Got me pacing the floor at night
About to walk an extra mile
Keeping me here for all your own reasons
I can see it in your smile
Emotions taking over now
Asking you to come home
Remind you of our happiness
And no one wants to be alone
 
Don't leave me hanging on (hanging on)
In and out of love (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Been way too long
Show me anyone who's not tempted
It's just what I want
Tell me that forgiveness is still crackin′ on, yeah
 
Oh, they say dont worry
Don′t you worry, ooh, don't you worry
And my brother told me

Are you as bad as me?
For worse than you go to pretend
Will you set me free?
Free from a life I can′t defend
And it ain't no fun
When glory goes to those who cross lines
Like the sound of a gun
Sinning lives inside all those lies
 
But they tell, no dont worry
Dont you worry, ooh, don't you worry
And my sister said
'Ooh, don′t you worry'
And my father told me
'Ooh, dont you worry'
 
Well, they dont know what I know, no no no

I said, that's the sound of sinning
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
 

Drifting away
I′m taking chances and drifting away
I'm skipping romances
I′m drifting away from your heart
 
Floating away on a sea of madness
And fighting the tears from all the sadness
I'm breaking away from your heart
 
Drifting away
I have found peace
Now remembering the day
I was still on a path to breaking away
From your heart
 
Drifting away
I'm taking my chances and drifting away
And skipping romances
I′m drifting away from your heart
 
Yes, I′m drifting away
I'm drifting away
Just drifting away
I′m still drifting away
Just drifting away
I'm just drifting away
Still drifting away
 
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
 

I caught you trippin out the back door, headsore with nothing to say to say
Where you goin what you runnin from today?
In the wrong at just the right time What′s got you in its sway its sway
Ooh brother there's a price in every life to pay
 
Behind the lies in every scene the picture′s soaked in gasoline
We found the way and honestly we are no one... We are no One
 
I caught you slippin on the wet floor, reaching for something to late to late
Get your grip before the levy breaks away
 
What's wrong? what's right? who′s side? who′s fight? who's song? who′s light?
Where you goin what you runnin from tonight?
 

[Verse 1:]
Searched for you high and low on endless city streets, from New York to New Orleans
Over the mountain tops through hills of Tennessee, I′ve walked the miles with wounded knee
 
Yeah... Search lights shining everywhere. Yeah
(The ghost on the water he comes, to save us from all of our own)
 
[Chorus:]
Hey You, tell me what you want from me (Hey You)
I'll give you everything you need, I don′t want to be lost. I just want to be loved by you
Hey You, tell me what you want from me (Hey You)
I'm broken and I'm on my knees, I don′t want to be lost. I just want to be loved by you
 
[Verse 2:]
I′ve seen the bullets fly for love and liberty, fighting the war inside of me
My heart has taken sides a battle to believe, the angel armies carry me
 
Yeah... Sick and tired of running scared. Yeah
(The ghost on the water he comes, to save us from all of our own)
 

[Verse 1:]
Days go bye and I′m still sinking here in ever word I could've said
Your gone so far and gone, memories just leave me alone
Find myself running slow as time moves faster
 
I never took the time to say goodbye...
 
[Chorus:]
Wish we would never grow up never grow old never goodbye
Wish we would never grow up never grow old never goodbye
Wish you were here today, Never grow up never grow old never
Leaving me alone, never grow up never grow old
 
[Verse 2:]
I start it over time and time again, rewind the scenes inside my head
What′s gone is far and gone, memories won't leave me alone
Find myself growing cold as time moves faster
 
Never took the time to say goodbye was always on the back roads riding high
Some things that I'd like to say wish you were here with me today
 
[Chorus 2:]
Wish we would never grow up never grow old never goodbye
Wish we would never grow up never grow old never goodbye
Wish you were here today, Never grow up never grow old never
Leaving me alone, never grow up never grow old
 
[Bridge:]
So much more to say... But time gets in the way... The Way.
 

[Verse 1:]
Fault lines are sure to break feel the avalanche coming as the body shakes
The river tide rises high when the rain falls
The seasons are screaming red skies in the morning, see the signs
 
[Chorus:]
Livin on a Landslide with a one way ticket that I′m sure to ride in my time
Livin on a Landslide every day given is on borrowed time no free ride
 
[Verse 2:]
Tongue tied a graveyard mind the downfall
Flood water soul declined the wreckage swallows
New days are coming as old things pass away beneath the landslide... Landslide.
 
[Chorus 2:]
Livin on a Landslide with a one way ticket that I'm sure to ride in my time
Livin on a Landslide every day given is on borrowed time no free ride
 
[Bridge/Outro:]
Run Run Run where will you go? When your ground gives way.
Run Run Run just letting go, the landslide drains away
 

Cold Addiction rising up inside, white lines cover the mirror
All the voices screaming in my mind, I wanna get out of here.
 
[Verse 1:]
Starring through a hole blind eyes ashamed
A blurry vision soul dying for change
Every minute fighting with myself a fiend again
The river of excuses I′ve been drowning in
Lost my head again, like I want to...
 
[Chorus:]
Cold Addiction rising up inside, white lines cover the mirror
All the voices screaming in my mind, I wanna get out of here.
Line by line I run from it all.
 
[Verse 2:]
The symptom of a full blown addict so they say
Push it to the limit as life drip drips away
Still I love your haze, I get lost in the daze and confusion
 
[Chorus:]
Cold Addiction rising up inside, white lines cover the mirror
All the voices screaming in my mind, I wanna get out of here.
Cold Addiction racing through my veins enslave me to my fear
Premonition I see it all unwind, God get me out of here.
Line by line I run from it all.
 
[Bridge:]
Run Run Run Run... Yeah
 

Stealin′, down, feelin' I′m burnin today,
Done with everything that I've thrown away,
Waitin' for the sun up, I′m through the gray with my song...
 
I need you,
I feed you...
 
(You know) x5
 
CHORUS:
Its time to forget about all the things
You′ve been thinkin' about lately

[Verse 1:]
It was the last chance to catch the last flight into your heart
I wanted so bad just to get there, woke up to late today to start
I′ve missed my chance so many times before,
Couldn't find the right keys knockin on the wrong door
Just to find myself alone in the night.
 
[Chorus:]
I wish I was an airplane, flying back in time to where you and I had first met
Feelin high just knowin I could hold you again.
Even if it ended the same, I wish I was an airplane
 
[Verse 2:]
With every heartbeat I feel the heartache of losing you
I need a new start and a new way of getting through
Those runway lights don′t compromise, reminds of what I saw in your eyes
The first time we met, on that San Antonio night
 
[Chorus 2:]
I wish I was an airplane, flying back in time to where you and I had first met
Feelin high just knowin I could hold you again.
There was a fire inside no matter how we tried could not be quenched
Even if it ended the same, I wish I was an airplane
 
[Bridge:]
I know I need you now, your so far away, I'm blinded by the clouds.
 
[Chorus 3:]
I wish I was an airplane, flying back in time to where you and I had first met
Feelin high just knowin I could hold you again.
I said it before and I'll say it again
Even if it ended the same, Even if it ended the same, If it ended the same
I wish I was an airplane
 

[Verse 1:]
I′m broken but I care for you, tried to change all that you wanted me to
Was to late and just not enough, to relate to that kind of love
Taken so long to see it...
 
[Chorus:]
I'm righting all my wrongs still your gone wonderin when I′ll see you again
Missed the times you call to tell me of all the love that you had for me back then.
 
[Verse 2:]
For the time I should have cared for you, and all the pain that I was putting you through
Late nights sitting by the phone, a life of leaving you alone.
Taken so long to see it, waited so long to be it...
 
[Chorus 2:]
I'm righting all my wrongs still your gone wonderin when I'll see you again
Missed the times you call to tell me of all the love that you had for me back then.
Whether it′s all year long, or tomorrow when it comes, it′s all in good time
When I see you, when I see you again
 
[Bridge:]
It's all in good time when I see you
 

Heard you calling on the telephone
Before you decided to come uninvited
Then I saw you in her eyes, just before she walked away
Now that you′ve arrived, there's nothing I can say
 
[Chorus:]
Except Hello to you Heartache
Welcome to this heartbreak
I swore I′d never see you again, I'm inviting you
To my funeral party, where loneliness is always
Singing loud above the crowd, songs of love gone wrong
So Hello to you Heartache, Hello to you...
 
[Verse 2:]
Such an awkward guest, but you can stay awhile I guess
And I'll make the best of this.
And its been so hard to sleep with you lying next to me
In the place she used to be.
 
[Chorus 2:]
So Hello to you Heartache
Welcome to this heartbreak
I swore I′d never see you again, I′m inviting you
To my funeral party, where loneliness is always
Singing loud above the crowd, songs of love gone wrong
So Hello to you Heartache, Hello to you...
 
[Bridge:]
There's no conversation, just anticipation
For the games about to begin
Its my celebration, and its hell that I′m payin
Its like the party never Ends...
 
Heard you callin and I'm all alone
Have you decided to come uninvited?
 

[Verse 1:]
Never look back never let it go.
Do the graveyard dance at the midnight show
Beggin for the chance, got my finger on the trigger
Gonna make a bigger bang baby make it bigger
Burden in my hands burnin up the road you know
 
That I feel alive, in overdrive
 
[Chorus:]
On and on and on we go...
(Put it on the line cause I′m going all the way)
Light 'em up throw it down and let it roll
(Put it on the line cause I′m going all the way)
 
[Verse 2:]
A Black sheep momma but I keep the faith
A super natural born thriller of the human race
Got a light in my pocket and a hand upon the wheel
Kick it into overdrive for the over kill
Four barrel Holley pedal to the steel for real.
 
You know I feel alive in overdrive
 

When I see you in your new blue jeans
I know you're lying, and I know what it means
When I see you take your place among the poor
I know you're a fraud for sure
Bad priestess, bad priestess
 
So the sunlight plays its games along your eyes
And it has the same effect on a thousand other guys
And I’d be lying if I said I didn't feel the pull, too
But the sunlight makes me strong and I know about you
Bad priestess
 
Bad priestess, on a Thursday as the sun goes down
Bad priestess, with a super-special eyelash trick
Bad priestess, bad priestess
 

I looked you up and down
I liked everything I saw
From the fragile outline of your hips
To the trembling movements in your jaw
But when the coffee cup shattered on the kitchen floor
You said that you couldn't take it anymore
I knew you were leaving
I knew you were going to Bristol
 
I watched you pack your bags
Saw you head up to the door
But when the key broke off in the deadbolt lock
Said that you couldn't take it anymore
That was the second time you said that in one day
Why don't you just sit still
It's going to be okay
Going to Bristol
Going to Bristol
Going to Bristol
Going to Bristol
 

When I was twelve years old, they put me on the throne
When I was twelve years old, they made me king
From the ocean south of here to the northern hemisphere, they gave me everything
 
Now I’m thirteen, and no one takes me seriously
Now I’m thirteen, and they're trying to take away control
I don't know how stupid you all think I am
But as sure as flowers grow along the western wall, some heads are going to roll
Yeah
 

Saw your arms hanging at your side
Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Saw you moving real slow
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to go
I heard the wind blow
I saw your sash come untied
Blue water, white sky
 
Up in the cedars, we were too far away
For the radio to tell us the time of day
But there was moisture in the air
I heard the city call
They can go on burning
To hell with them all
Your liquid movements
The water rushing by
Blue water, white sky
 
World's surface was as smooth as glass
And they saw the hour coming and they didn't let it pass
I heard you say my name twice through your teeth
I saw you coming down to me, I was underneath
It's been coming for some time
You close your eyes
Blue water, white sky
 
I heard the wind blow
I saw your sash come untied
Blue water, white sky
 

Olen seurannut tähteä monta, monta,
olen pyrkinyt moneen satamaan,
olen kokenut kaipuuta pohjatonta,
olen kokenut onnen – unessa vaan,
olen kyntänyt kuohuista, kylmää merta,
olen harhannut usvaista ulappaa -
ah, kaikki tähdet pettävät kerta
ja kaikki ulapat upottaa!
 
Minä katselen aallon tummaa phjaa
ja hyrskyä harjalla aallokon -
vain meri ja myrsky mun purttani ohjaa
ja kaikki tähdet sokeat on.
Ylt' ympäri rauhaton ulappa pauhaa
ja lepoa vailla mun rintani lyö.
Oi tähti, tähti, ken tiedät rauhaa,
sua eikö jo ylleni sytytä yö?
