Whatever gets you to the light 'salright, 'salright
Out the blue or out of sight 'salright, 'salright
Don’t need a gun to blow your mind oh no, oh no
He blew his mind out in a car;
He didn’t notice that the light had changed.
I’m sorry that I doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair
You said that you would be late
About an hour or two
I said that’s alright I’m waiting here
Just waiting to hear from you
The wait is killing me
I keep waiting, wait impatiently
What do I need to do?
I’ll do anything you want me to
I’ll sit on a bookcase in your room
Alone with all your other favorite things
Now that I’m your favorite thing
Let’s see what the future brings
I wouldn’t mind
And I can’t tell you what’s been happening
I don’t know, I don’t know
I wouldn’t mind, I wouldn’t mind
Not at all
Don’t need a whore
I don’t need no booze
Don’t need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I’m not waiting on a lady
I’m just waiting on a friend
Lady, be good to me.
When you see a hand that’s held out toward you,
Give it some love, some day it may be you.
That’s why it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They’re down on me, yeah.
Lord, they’re down on me, down on me, oh!
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
Is down on me.
An open door, an extended hand,
What can I say, I understand
She talks like a bird yet she walks like a man
She’ll be here tonight I understand
She hunts in a pack yet she ends up alone
She tells you its not alright darling, why’d you worship that stone ?
Hold me closer Ladyboy, there’s a rope that’s dragging you out of this world
It doesn’t care if you’re heavy girl
Hold me closer Ladyboy, if you look you can see that it’s just you and me
There’s nothing left of our world
World pollution, there’s no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war
I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So…
I’m leavin’ it up to you
Inflation
No chance
To increase
Finance
Bills pile up
Sky high
Send that boy off
To die
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
You gotta live life, and be yourself-
You can’t live life for anyone else.
You gotta live life, that’s what you do-
Nobody gonna live your life for you.
But if this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Fat-bottomed girls
You make the rockin’ world go 'round
Get on your bikes and ride…
Tell your Daddy and your Mama too
You got something better to do.
Stick around the house the rest of your life.
Your eighteen you can do what you like.
You’ll be the queen of my highway, my motorcycle mama.
We’ll see the world through my Harley.
We’ll get matching jackets and helmets too.
We’ll get respect from the towns we ride through.
We’ll sleep at the roadside in the soft
green grass and if the squares walk by we’ll let them pass.
You’ll be the queen of my highway, my motorcycle mama.
We’ll see the world through my Harley.
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones to start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the Heart
Closer to the Heart
Whoa-oh!
You can be the captain
And I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun
And take away the plain in which we move
And choose the course you’re running
Down at the end, round by the corner
Not right away, not right away
Close to the edge, down by a river
Not right away, not right away
Crossed the line around the changes of the summer
Reaching out to call the color of the sky
Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see
Getting over all the time I had to worry
Leaving all the changes far from far behind
We relieve the tension only to find out the master’s name
As I went down to the river to pray,
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown,
Oh, Lord, show me the way.
I’m gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I’m gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
I’m gonna study war no more
Whenever I need to leave it all behind
Or feel the need to get away
I find a quiet place, far from the human race
Out in the country
Before the breathin’ air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin’ worth rememberin’
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I’ve been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I’ve been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole
I don’t know why I go walking at night
But now I’m tired and I don’t want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn’t take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I’ve been looking for
