Maybe I need some rehab
Or maybe just need some sleep
I got a sick obsession
I’m seeing it in my dreams
I’m looking down every alley
I’m making those desperate calls
I’m staying up all night hoping hitting my head against the wall
What you got, boy, is hard to find
I think about it all the time
I’m all strung out, my heart is fried
I just can’t get you off my mind!
Because your love, your love, your love is my drug
Your love, your love, your love
(I said)
Your love, your love, your love is my drug
Your love, your love, your love
Well some say I’m lazy
And others say that’s just me
Some say I’m crazy
I guess I’ll always be
But it’s been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It’s all the means to an end, I
I keep it movin’ along
You’re one in a million
Oo, you’re a Shooting Star
You’re one in a million, babe
You know that you are
Maybe someday we’ll see you
oh, Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer
Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, “Don’t look back. You can never look back.”
I thought I knew what love was – What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go, but
I can see you, your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I did a thing last night
You know those future games
I turned off all the lights
Oh, the future came
You were by my side
Will you explain-oh yeah
Real rhyme or reason for those future games
Now you were there last night
And oh were you afraid
Of things we’d come upon
While playing future games
But baby it’s alright and so have faith
Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face
How many people sit home at night
Wondering if they will be here tonight
Wondering if children will he bring to the light
Inherit the world, or inherit the night
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
Talking of journeys that happen in vain
Well I know I’m not the only one
To ever spend my life sitting playing future games
Is it heaven?
Is it hell?
Is it the afterworld
Or just something else?
Are we prisoners in Nowhereland
Where darkness is your only friend
Kept inside this wall of sleep
Have we fallen into a deep freeze
Left the wastelands, broke the lines
Crossed the border to another time
Being drawn by the Fates who run our destinies
Stranded in a state of life
Where dreams become reality
Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
When do we finally disappear?
Future world
There’s nothing left to save
They blew it all away
Future world
Tonight we’re riding on
The final escape
The battle’s done,
And we kinda won.
So we sound our victory cheer.
Where do we go from here.
Why is the path unclear,
When we know home is near.
Understand we’ll go hand in hand,
But we’ll walk alone in fear. (Tell me)
Tell me where do we go from here.
When you walk through the storm keep your chin up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox,
Gone to ground.
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees.
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer,
Making for the sea.
I came by myself to a very crowded place;
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face.
I found her there but she was past all concern;
I asked her to hold me, I said, “Lady, unfold me,”
but she scorned me and she told me
I was dead and I could never return.
Well, I argued all night like so many have before,
saying, “Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more.”
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
she said, “Don’t try to use me or slyly refuse me,
just win me or lose me,
it is this that the darkness is for.”
I cried, “Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold.”
“If we cry now,” she said, “it will just be ignored.”
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,
I could hear my lady calling,
"You’ve won me, you’ve won me, my lord,
It’s the same kind of story
That seems to come down from long ago
Two friends having coffee together
When something flies by their window
It might be out on that lawn
Which is wide, at least half of a playing field
Because there’s no explaining what your imagination
Can make you see and feel
Seems like a dream, they got me hypnotized
Now it’s not a meaningless question
To ask if they’ve been and gone
I remember a talk about North Carolina
And a strange, strange pond
You see the sides were like glass
In the thick of a forest without a road
And if any man’s ever made that land
Then I think it would’ve showed
Seems like a dream, they got me hypnotized
There’s something moving through the air
Years ago, it wasn’t there
If people feel it, they don’t care
Seems like everybody’s sterilised
A piece is missing from their lives
They’re never going to be surprised
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I’ve seen your face before my friend
But I don’t know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of lies
Cross my heart and I hope to Die
I’ll never, never, never tell another white lie
Took MY LITTLE GIRL OUT on a date last night
Next to her Gravel Gerty WOULD HAVE LOOKED alright
Now I’m between the devil and the deep blue sea
Cause I said baby you look good to me
I told her I loved her and oh how I lied
Now she’s GETTING SET to be my blushing bride
If she leads me to the altar I’m sunk
Cause I CAN’T tell the preacher I was drunk
SO Lord have mercy on a no-count sinner
Give me one more chance to let another guy win her
Cross my heart and hope to die
I’ll never, never, never tell A (ONE MORE TIME)
I’LL NEVER tell another white lie.
Billy-Ray was a preacher’s son
And when his daddy would visit he’d come along
When they gathered round and started talkin’
That’s when Billy would take me walkin’
A-through the backyard we’d go walkin’
Then he’d look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he was
He rode easy in the saddle. He was tall and lean, and at first you’d a-thought nothing but a streak of mean could make a man look so down right strong, but one look in his eyes and you knowed you was wrong. He was a mountain of a man, and I want you to know. He could preach hot hell or freezin’ snow. He carried a Bible in a canvas sack and folks just called him The Reverend Mr. Black. He was poor as a beggar, but he rode like a king. Sometimes in the evening, I’d hear him sing:
I gotta walk that lonesome valley. I got to walk it by myself. Oh nobody else can walk it for me. I got to walk it by myself.
You got to walk that lonesome valley. You got to walk it by yourself. Oh nobody else can walk it for you. You got to walk it by yourself.
Walking the night without you
Skies too high without you
Losing my way on silent roads without you
Long lone streets before me
No voice in the night to warn me
No sound of our songs
To bring you to me
Losing my way
Stars send me astray
Walking the night without you
Blind in sight without you
No song I learn
No way I turn
Brings you closer to me
Searching for songs without you
Moon so cold without you
Longing to be near
Straining to hear
A song from you
Walking the stars without you
