Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
'Cause I’m leaving
On a jet plane…
Out on runway number nine, a big 707’s set to go,
But, I’m stuck here in the grass, where the cold wind blows,
Now, the liquor tasted good, and the women all were fast,
Well, there she goes, my friend, well she’s going down at last.
When it comes your time to go, ain’t no good way to go about it
Ain’t no use in thinking 'bout it, you’ll just drive yourself insane
Comes a time for everything and the time has come for you
Shut your mouth and get your ass on the plane
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight…
Sail on, silver girl; sail on by.
Your time has come to shine;
All your dreams are on their way.
Shine
Make 'em wonder what you’ve got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside, looking bored
And I think you need to stop following misery’s lead
Shine away shine away shine away
Isn’t it time you got over how fragile you are
We’re all waiting
Waiting on your supernova
Cause that’s who you are
And you’ve only begun to shine
I feel it comin’ together
People will see me and cry, fame
I’m gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame, fame
I’m gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
Fame makes a man take things over
Fame lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame puts you there where things are hollow (fame)
Fame, it’s not your brain, it’s just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane (fame)
You’ve been living like a little girl
In the middle of your little world
And your mind
Your tiny mind
You know you’ve really been so blind
Now’s your time burn your mind
You’re falling far too far behind
Fire
I’ll take you to burn
Fire
I’ll take you to learn
You gonna burn, burn, burn
Fire
I’ll take you to burn
Go away little girl,
Go away little girl,
I’m not supposed to be alone with you.
Oh yes I know that your lips are sweet,
But our lips must never meet,
I belong to somebody else and I must be true.
It’s sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along
If we both were born
In another place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we’ll just be leaving it at this
'Though we gotta say goodbye, for the summer,
Baby I promise you this:
I’ll send you all my love every day in a letter,
Sealed with a kiss.
I used to think maybe you loved me now baby I’m sure
And I just can’t wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now every time I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
'Cause I just can’t wait 'til you write me you’re coming around
I’m walking on sunshine (Wo-ho!)
I’m walking on sunshine (Wo-ho!)
I’m walking on sunshine (Wo-ho!)
And don’t it feel good
Please, Mister Postman
Look and see
Is there a letter in your bag for me…
My baby, she sent me a letter.
My baby takes the morning train,
He works from nine till five and then,
He takes another home again,
To find me waitin’ for him.
There’s another home somewhere
There’s another glimpse of sky
There’s another place unlearned
And a face not memorized
There’s another quilt of green
Where the trees throw down their shade
There’s another way to lean
Into the wind unafraid
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees
