Jacaranda
Help me out tomorrow
Jacaranda
Don’t want to be alone
Keep falling over a spell that brings me sorrow
Give and take, I shouldn’t be afraid
So you give me this big story
It wakes me every day
The challenge is to chase the sounds
Just to break away
And I’m running, running
Yes I’m running
A simple peace just can’t be found
Waste another day, blasting all their lives away
I’ve heard the thunder underground
Tunneling away at the very soul of man
And I’m running
Yes I’m running
I’m running through a new world
He was born and raised around Jacksonville.
A nice young man, not the kind to kill.
But a jealous fight and a flashing blade
sent him on the run to the Everglades.
Runnin’ like a dog through the Everglades.
[Yes, Skynrd was a Jacksonville band, and this song strongly alludes to the stench that often comes from the paper mill on the northside…]
Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you’re in my way
There’s too much coke and too much smoke
Look what’s going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
And one more drink fool, will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Now they call you Prince Charming
Can’t speak a word when you’re full of 'ludes
Say you’ll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth, will lift you up until you break
It won’t stop, I won’t come down
I keep stock with the tick-tock rhythm, I bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
I said…
How do I get back there, to the place where I fell asleep inside you
How do I get myself back to the place where you said…
I want something else, to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I’m not listening when you say good-bye
You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go go go, oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
I say high, you say low
You say why and I say I don’t know, oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello again, hello
Just called to say hello
I couldn’t sleep at all tonight
And I know it’s late
But I couldn’t wait
Hello my friend, hello
Hello…hello again
Hello…hello again
You might have forgot
The journey ends
You tied your knots
You made your friends
You left the scene
Without a trace
One hand on the ground
One hand in space
You passed on mercy
You tried the rest
You gave your body
You gave the best
Staring at the green door
Living in the sky
You don’t want to know it
You just want to fly
Hello…hello again
Hello…hello again
Hello again, hello!
It’s a wonderful word, Hello.
Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
Tell your mama and your papa I’m a little schoolboy too.
Come on now pretty baby I just can’t help myself
You’re so young and pretty I don’t need nobody else.
Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
Don’t you hear me crying?
I’m gonna leave you baby about the break of day
On account of the way you treat me, I got to stay away
Come on now pretty baby darling come on home
You know I love you baby, I got to get you all alone
Gracefully she’s circling higher
She has the wind beneath her wings
And looks down on us, she said
Robbed of my innocence
Had no more time to play
I sure got my feathers burned
But I’m stronger than the flames
Here she comes, here she comes
I’ve been waiting for so long
Here she comes, rose again from the flames
My little phoenix
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There’s got to be a little rain sometime
Every time it rains, it rains Pennies from Heaven.
Don’t you know each cloud contains Pennies from Heaven?
You’ll find your fortune falling all over town.
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down.
Save them for a package full of sunshine and flowers.
If you want the things you love, you must have showers:
So anytime you hear it thunder, don’t run under a tree.
There’ll be Pennies from Heaven for you and me.
Can’t understand what is happening to me
This isn’t real this is only a dream
But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before
I’m looking down on my body below
I lie asleep in the midst of a dream
Is it now could it be the Angel of Death has come for me?
I can’t believe that really my time has come
I don’t feel ready, there’s so much left undone
And it’s my soul and I’m not gonna let it get away
Heaven can wait / Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait / Heaven can wait 'til another day
Heaven can wait / Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait / Heaven can wait 'til another day
Tell the angels no, I don’t wanna leave my baby alone
I don’t want nobody else to hold you
That’s a chance I’ll take
Baby I’ll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the angels took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It’s a chance I’ll take, maybe I’ll stay
Heaven can wait
How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There’s a color deep inside them like blue suburban skies
When i come home late at night
And you’re in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you so I can feel you breathe
I don’t need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan
Heaven isn’t too far away
Closer to it everyday (ah, ah)
No matter what your friends might say
We’ll find our way, yeah
Heaven’s just a sin away oh wo just a sin away
I can’t wait another day I think I’m givin’ in
Though I’d love to hold you tight Oh wo be with you tonight
But that still won’t make it right 'cause I belong to him.
Heaven
Is the home of all hearts
And heaven don’t tear you apart
Yeah heaven
Is the home of all hearts
And heaven don’t tear you apart
There’s too many kings
Want to hold you down
And a world at the window
Gone underground
There’s a hole in the sky
Where the sun don’t shine
And a clock on the wall
And it counts my time
The pilgrims sailed the sea
To find a place to call their own
In their ship Mayflower
They hoped to find a better home
They finally knocked
On Plymouth Rock
And someone said, “We’re there
It may not look like home
But at this point I don’t care”
Oh, they were missing Mother England
They swore their loyalty until the very end
Anything you say, King
It’s OK, King
You know it’s kinda scary on your own
Going to build a new land
The way we planned
Could you help us run it until it’s grown?
Danger, danger
The Queen’s about to kill
There’s a stranger, stranger
And life about to spill
Oh no move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I’m no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the King, tear him down
Kill the King, yeah strike him down
Power, power it happens every day
Power, devour all along the way
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
And fly like the wind
I’m no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the King, tear him down
Kill the King, yeah got to take his crown
The soldier came knocking upon the queen’s door
He said, “I am not fighting for you anymore”
And the queen knew she’d seen his face somewhere before
And slowly she let him inside
