    Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
    Someone calls on me
    And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse
    And curse those faults in me

    And then along comes Mary
    And does she want to give me kicks , and be my steady chick
    And give me pick of memories
    Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
    No one ever sees

    When we met I was sure out to lunch
    Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

    When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
    Whose sickness is the games they play
    And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
    As who is most to blame today

    And then along comes Mary
    And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
    From where she got her name
    And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers
    Will make them not the same

    When we met I was sure out to lunch
    Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

    And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed
    And flaccid kids are flung across the stars
    The psychodramas and the traumas gone
    The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars

    And then along comes Mary
    And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
    She left the night before
    Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them
    Realize their urgent cry for sight no more

    When we met I was sure out to lunch
    Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

    Crimson flames tied through my ears
    F G C
    Rollin' high and mighty traps...
    C Am Em
    Pounced with fire on flaming roads
    F G
    Using i-deas as my maps...
    Am Em
    "We'll meet on edges, soon said," I,
    F G
    Proud 'neath heated brow...
    C Am Em F
    Ah, but I was so much older then
    C G C
    I'm young-er than that now.

    Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
    "Rip down all hate," I screamed,
    Lies that life is black and white
    Spoke from my skull I dreamed.
    Romantic facts of musketeers
    Foundationed deep, somehow,
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    Girl's faces formed the forward path
    From phony jealousy,
    To memorizing politics
    Of ancient history.
    Flung down by corpse evangelist
    Unthought of, though, somehow,
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    A self-ordained professor's tongue
    Too serious to fool
    Spouted out that liberty
    Is just equality in school.
    "Equality," I spoke the word
    As if a wedding vow
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand
    At the mongrel dogs who teach
    Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
    In the instant that I preach.
    My pathway led by confusion boats
    Mutiny from stern to bow
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    Yes, my guards stood hard when abstract threats
    Too noble to neglect
    Deceived me into thinking
    I had something to protect.
    Good and bad, I define these terms
    Quite clear, no doubt, somehow,
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    Ashes To Ashes
    David Bowie
    Changes Bowie

    do you remember a guy that's been
    in such an early song
    i heard a rumour from ground control
    oh no, don't say it's true
    they got a message from the action man
    i'm happy hope you're happy too
    i've loved all i've needed love
    sordid details following

    the shrieking of nothing is killing
    just pictures of jap girls in synthesis
    and i ain't got no money and and i ain't got no hair
    but i'm hoping to kick but the planet is glowing aglow aglow
    ashes to ashes funk to funky
    we know major tom's a junky
    strung out on heaven's high
    hitting an all time low
    time and again i tell myself
    i'll stay clean tonight
    but the little green wheels are following me
    oh no not again
    i'm stuck with a valuable friend
    i'm happy hope you're happy too
    one flash of light
    but no smoking pistol
    i've never done good things
    i've never done bad things
    i never did anything out of the blue
    want an axe to break the ice
    want to come down right now



    ashes to ashes funk to funky
    we know major tom's a junky
    strung out on heaven's high
    hitting an all time low

    my mama said to get things done
    you better not mess with major tom
    my mama said to get things done
    you better not mess with major tom
    my mama said to get things done
    you better not mess with major tom

    Drifting
    On a sea of forgotten teardrops
    On a lifeboat
    Sailing for
    Your love

    Sailing home

    Drifting
    On a sea of old heartbreaks
    On a lifeboat
    Sailing for
    Your love
    Sailing home

    Change
    I've watched you change
    Into a fly
    I looked away
    You were on fire
    I watched a change
    In you
    It's like you never
    Had wings
    Now you feel
    So Alive
    I've watched you change
    I took you home
    Set you on the glass
    I pulled off your wings
    Then I laughed
    I watched a change
    In you
    It's like you never
    Had wings
    Now you feel
    So alive
    I've watched you change
    It's like you never
    Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh
    I look at the cross
    Then I look away
    Give you the lungs to
    Blow me away
    I've watched a change
    In you
    It's like you never
    Had wings
    Now you feel
    So Alive
    I've watched you change.
    Now you feel Alive
    You Feel Alive
    I've watched you change
    It's like you never
    Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh

    The dance of the puppets
    The rusted chains of prison moons
    Are shattered by the sun.
    I walk a road, horizons change
    The tournament’s begun.
    The purple piper plays his tune,
    The choir softly sing;
    Three lullabies in an ancient tongue,
    For the court of the crimson king.

    The keeper of the city keys
    Put shutters on the dreams.
    I wait outside the pilgrim’s door
    With insufficient schemes.
    The black queen chants
    The funeral march,
    The cracked brass bells will ring;
    To summon back the fire witch
    To the court of the crimson king.

    The gardener plants an evergreen
    Whilst trampling on a flower.
    I chase the wind of a prism ship
    To taste the sweet and sour.
    The pattern juggler lifts his hand;
    The orchestra begin.
    As slowly turns the grinding wheel
    In the court of the crimson king.

    On soft gray mornings widows cry
    The wise men share a joke;
    I run to grasp divining signs
    To satisfy the hoax.
    The yellow jester does not play
    But gentle pulls the strings
    And smiles as the puppets dance
    In the court of the crimson king.

    Song: Don't You Care

    Lyric:


    If you don't love me,
    Why don't you tell me?
    Instead of runnin' around
    With all the other guys in town,
    Can't you see you're hurtin' me?
    Don't you care?
    Don't you care?
    If you don't want me,
    Why don't you tell me?
    Instead of tellin' lies
    And makin' me cry,
    Can't you see you're hrtin' me?
    Don't you care?
    Don't you care?
    What ever happened to all the good times we used to have?
    The times we cried and laughed, I wanna know, I wanna know,
    Will you ever love me again or will I find out that this is the end?
    Don't you care?
    Mmmm - my, my , my, my, baby.
    You said that you'd believe me,
    Then why'd you ever leave me?
    I'm standin' here all alone
    Without a girl of my own,
    Can't you see you're hurtin' me?
    Don't you care?
    Don't you care?
    Don't you care?
    Don't you care?

    Lather was thirty years old today,
    They took away all of his toys.
    His mother sent newspaper clippings to him,
    About his old friends who'd stopped being boys.
    There was Harwitz E. Green, just turned thirty-three,
    His leather chair waits at the bank.
    And Seargent Dow Jones, twenty-seven years old,
    Commanding his very own tank.
    But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do,
    To lie about nude in the sand,
    Drawing pictures of mountains that look like bumps,
    And thrashing the air with his hands.

    But wait, oh Lather's productive you know,
    He produces the finest of sound,
    Putting drumsticks on either side of his nose,
    Snorting the best licks in town,
    But that's all over...

    Lather was thirty years old today,
    And Lather came foam from his tongue.
    He looked at me eyes wide and plainly said,
    Is it true that I'm no longer young?
    And the children call him famous,
    what the old men call insane,
    And sometimes he's so nameless,
    That he hardly knows which game to play...
    Which words to say...
    And I should have told him, "No, you're not old."
    And I should have let him go on...smiling...babywide.

    I'm a gambler
    And I'm a runner
    But you knew that
    When you lay down

    I'm a picture
    Of ugly stories
    I'm a killer
    And I'm a clown

    Step into the street by sundown
    Step into your last goodbye
    You're a target just by living
    Twenty dollars will make you die

    I wear lace
    And I wear black leather
    My hands are lightning upon my gun

    My shots are clean
    And my, my shots are final
    My shots are deadly
    And when it's done

    You're as stiff as my smoking barrel
    You're as dead as a desert night
    You're a notch
    And I'm a legend
    You're at peace
    And I must hide

    Tell me where the hell I'm going
    Let my bones fall in the dust
    Can't you hear that ghost that's calling
    As my Colt begins to rust
    In the dust

    I'm a killer
    I'm a clown
    I'm a priest
    That's gone to town

    Ain't found a way to kill me yet
    Eyes burn with stinging sweat
    Seems every path leads me to nowhere
    Wife and kids household pet
    Army green was no safe bet
    The bullets scream to me from somewhere

    Here they come to snuff the rooster
    Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
    You know he ain't gonna die
    No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die

    Walkin' tall machine gun man
    They spit on me in my home land
    Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
    Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
    My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
    Oh god please won't you help me make it through

    Here they come to snuff the rooster
    Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
    You know he ain't gonna die
    No, no, no ya know he ain't gonna die

    We can share the women
    We can share the wine
    We can share what we got of yours
    'Cause we done shared all of mine

    Keep a rolling
    Just a mile to go
    Keep on rolling, my old buddy
    You're moving much too slow

    I just jumped the watchman
    Right outside the fence
    Took his ring, four bucks in change
    Now ain't that heaven sent?

    Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon
    Burns my eyes to see
    Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon
    Might as well be me

    We used to play for silver
    Now we play for life
    One's for sport and one's for blood
    At the point of a knife
    Now the die is shaken
    Now the die must fall
    There ain't a winner in this game
    Who don't go home with all
    Not with all...

    Leaving Texas
    Fourth day of July
    Sun so hot, clouds so low
    The eagles filled the sky

    Catch the Detroit Lightning
    Out of Santa Fe
    Great Northern out of Cheyenne
    From sea to shining sea

    Gotta get to Tulsa
    First train we can ride
    Got to settle one old score
    And one small point of pride...

    Ain't no place a man can hide, Shannon
    Keep him from the sun
    Ain't no bed will give us rest, man,
    You keep us on the run

    Jack Straw from Wichita
    Cut his buddy down
    Dug for him a shallow grave
    And layed his body down

    Half a mile from Tucson
    By the morning light
    One man gone and another to go
    My old buddy you're moving much too slow

    We can share the women
    we can share the wine...

    D.O.A

    Laying here looking at the ceiling
    Someone lays a sheet across my chest
    Something warm is flowing down my fingers
    Pain is flowing all through my back

    I try to move my arms and there's no feeling
    And when I look I see there's nothing there
    The face beside me stopped it totally bleeding
    The girl I knew has such a distant stare

    I remember
    We were flying along and hit something in the air
    I remember
    We were flying along and hit something in the air

    Then I looked straight at the attendant
    His face is pale as it can be
    He bends and whispers something softly
    He says there's no chance for me

    I remember
    We were flying along and hit something in the air
    I remember
    We were flying along and hit something in the air

    Life is flowing out my body
    Pain is flowing out with my blood
    The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying
    God in Heaven, teach me how to die

    I remember
    We were flying along and hit something in the air
    I remember
    We were flying along and hit something in the air

    She calls me from the cold
    Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
    And all that she intends
    And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label
    She says she's ashamed
    And she can take me for a while
    And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
    But maybe I'm not able
    And I break at the bend
    We're here and now, but will we ever be again
    'Cause I have found
    All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
    Away again
    She dreams a champagne dream
    Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper
    Lavender and cream
    Fields of butterfliess, reality escapes her
    She says that love is for fools that fall behind
    And I'm somewhere in between
    I never really know
    A killer from a savior
    'Til I break at the bend
    We're here and now, but will we ever be again
    'Cause I have found
    All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
    Away again
    It's too far away for me to hold
    It's too far away....
    Guess I'll let it go

    oooo looks like fun! can i join in?!:)



    Down down, you bring me down
    I hear you knocking at my door and I can't sleep at night
    Your face, it has no place
    No room for you inside my house I need to be alone

    Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
    I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

    Turn turn, I wish you'd learn
    There's a time and place for everything I've got to get it through
    Cut loose, you're no use
    I couldn't stand another second in your company

    Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
    I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

    Stone me, why can't you see
    You're a no-one nowhere washed up baby who'd look better dead

    Your tongue is far too long
    I don't like the way it sucks and slurps upon my every word

    Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
    I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

    I am the resurrection and I am the light
    I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like

    I am the resurrection and I am the light
    I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like

    I'm a walking, talking, living, loving puppet, and I love you

    I'm a smiling happy face when you want me to
    Even make you happy when you're feeling blue

    Jets To Brazil features an amazing lyricist. This is actually a weaker song by that mention but beautiful...

    "Sweet Avenue"

    tasting you and rain I walk down to the train
    try not to look down
    this day could one day be an anniversary
    everything is light and sound
    facing forwards going slowly wait for you to show me
    where this train wants to go
    living by the hour I stop for every flower
    everything is soft and slow
    now all these tastes improve through the view that comes with you
    like they handed me my life
    for the first time it felt right
    thank you for making me see there's a life in me
    it was dying to get out
    holding you we make two spoons beneath and April moon
    everything is soft and sweet
    this cigarette it could seduce
    a nation with its smoke
    crawling down my tired throat
    scratches part of me that's purring
    softly stirring
    I'm a captain of industry smoking famously
    feet up on the windowsill
    look at all these trees I feel affinity with
    everything so soft and still
    budding at my fingertips
    touching you I start to bloom
    alive with trains and passing ships
    soft and sweet along your lips now
    I go "oh wow"
    thank you for taking me from my monastery
    I was dying to get out
    with tears of gratitude
    I like my latitude
    cross town train to you
    now all these tastes improve
    through the view that comes with you
    like they handed me my life for the first time it felt worth it
    like I deserved it

    I took my love, I took it down
    Climbed a mountain and I turned around
    and I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
    'Till the landslide brought me down

    Oh, mirror in the sky
    What is love
    Can the child within my heart rise above
    Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
    Can I handle the seasons of my life~~~
    Mmmm mmm mmm

    Well, I've been afraid of changing
    'Cause I've built my life around you
    But time makes you bolder
    Even children get older
    And I'm getting older too

    (Interlude)

    Well, I've been afraid of changing
    'Cause I've built my life around you
    But time makes you bolder
    Even children get older
    And I'm getting older too
    Oh I'm getting older too

    Awh, take my love, take it down
    Awh, Climb a mountain and turn around
    And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
    Well the landslide bring it down

    And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
    Well the landslide bring it down
    Oh the landslide bring it down.

    No More Mr. Nice Guy
    Alice Cooper


    I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
    'Til they got a hold of me.
    I opened doors for little old ladies,
    I helped the blind to see.
    I got no friends 'cause they read the papers.
    They can't be seen with me and I'm gettin' real shot down
    And I'm feeling mean.

    No more Mister Nice Guy,
    No more Mister Clean,
    No more Mister Nice Guy,
    They say he's sick, he's obscene.

    My dog bit me on the leg today.
    My cat clawed my eyes.
    Ma's been thrown out of the social circle,
    And dad has to hide.
    I went to church incognito.
    When everybody rose, the Reverend Smith,
    He recognized me,
    And punched me in the nose.
