Got a world of trouble on my mind  
Lookin’ for a lover who won’t blow my cover, she’s so hard to find  
Take it easy, take it easy  
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy

That kinda lovin’ turns a man to a slave  
That kinda lovin’ sends a man right to his grave

I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy  
You turn it on - then you’re gone  
Yeah you drive me crazy, crazy  
Crazy for you baby  
What can I do, honey  
I feel like the color blue

Blue his house, with a blue little window  
And a blue Corvette,  
And everything is blue for him, and himself,  
And everybody around,  
'Cuz he ain’t got nobody to listen.

The one in the Big Blue  
Is what the world stole from me  
This night will bring him back to me

Fly to a dream  
Far across the sea  
All the burdens gone  
Open the chest once more  
[Dark chest of wonders](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y3Pz51FlDM)  
Seen through the eyes  
Of the one with pure heart  
Once so long ago

A long, long time ago  
In a galaxy far away  
Naboo was under an attack.  
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jin  
Could talk the Federation in-  
To maybe cutting them a little slack.  
But their response, it didn’t thrill us -  
They locked the doors and tried to kill us.

A long, long time ago  
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile  
And, I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance, and…  
Maybe they’d be happy for a while  
But, February made me shiver with every paper I’d deliver  
Bad news on the doorstep - I couldn’t take one more step  
I can’t remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride  
Something touched me deep inside the day the music died

</div>

I can’t see the end of me  
My whole expanse I cannot see  
I formulate infinity  
and store it deep inside of me

If I had to lose a mile  
If I had to touch feelings  
I would lose my soul  
The way I do

Abbey sits in the darkness alone  
Turns on the TV to keep her company  
Teardrops fall on the picture she holds  
Feels like her life left when he walked out the door  
He walked out the door

Sometimes you can use a little help…

Renew your heart, renew your soul  
Release your fears and take control  
Sometimes you need the help to find  
A healing path to free your mind  
And renew your heart

Dear Prudence, won’t you come out to play  
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day  
The sun is up, the sky is blue  
It’s beautiful and so are you  
Dear Prudence won’t you come out to play

You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face  
And show the world all the love in your heart  
Then people gonna treat you better  
You’re gonna find, yes, you will  
That you’re beautiful as you feel

Tale as old as time  
Tune as old as song  
Bittersweet and strange  
Finding you can change  
Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun  
Rising in the east  
Tale as old as time  
Song as old as rhyme  
Beauty and the beast.

Jennifer’s rabbit, brown and white,  
Left the house and ran away one night,  
Along with a turtle and a kangaroo,  
And seventeen monkeys from the city zoo,  
And Jennifer too.

They ran through the forest and they all held hands.  
They came to the ocean with the cookie crumb sands.  
They called it the sea of the very best dreams,  
And they all built a castle of the best moonbeams,  
And milky way streams.

And there on the sand where the star fish play,  
The ship sailed in from the moonbeam bay,  
And they all went sailing on the starlight sea,  
Where they all had cookies with oolong tea,  
And Jenny had three.

My wife went in for rabbits  
And she kept them in a hutch.  
She only bought two rabbits  
And it didn’t seem like much;  
One morning when we looked at them,  
Oh, how they’d multiplied!  
A million rabbits hopped right out  
And all the neighbors cried:  
Shut the door!  
They’re coming through the window!  
Shut the window!  
They’re coming through the door!  
Shut the door!  
They’re coming through the window!  
Oh! the room is full  
And won’t hold any more!

Oh, a suffering world cries for mercy.  
As far as the eye can see,  
Lawyers around every bend in the road.  
Lawyers in every tree.  
Lawyers in restaurants.  
Lawyers in clubs.  
Lawyers behind every door.  
Behind windows and potted plants,  
Shade trees and shrubs.  
Lawyers on pogo sticks.  
Lawyers in politics.  
In ten years we’re gonna have one million lawyers.  
How much can a poor nation stand.

You say you haven’t been the same since you had your little crash  
But you might feel better if they gave you some cash  
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right  
Let’s kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight  
You don’t want to work; you want to live like a king  
But the big, bad world doesn’t owe you a thing

Get over it  
Get over it  
If you don’t want to play, then you might as well split  
Get over it, get over it
