You left me high and dry it changed me  
You lied to me now I am angry  
And if the sun comes in your room  
And awakes you from your vanity  
You won’t find me 'cause I’ll be  
On top a mountain pissing on your grave  
Na, na, na…

I will walk on down to the corner.  
I’ll be watching from the corner of my eye.  
I wouldn’t try to stop you from leaving,  
But I was never much for saying goodbye.

And you know better than I do  
Just what you’re hoping to find.  
Ah, you’ve got a lot to think over,  
And I’ve got nothing but time.

Time Stand Still  
I’m not looking back but I want to look around me now  
Time Stand Still  
See more of the people and the places that surround me now.

I know it’s easier  
To walk away than look it in the eye  
But I had given all that I could take  
And now I’ve only habits left to break  
Tonight I’ll still be lying here  
Surrounded in all the light

But she was blinded by the light.  
Revved up like a deuce,  
Another runner in the night.  
Blinded by the light.  
Revved up like a deuce,  
Another runner in the night.  
Blinded by the light.  
Revved up like a deuce,  
Another runner in the night.

So cold is being lonely  
Behold the feeling lonely  
The living part is done  
The dying has begun  
The world is spinning slow  
So tired slow

So cold is being sadness  
Behold the feeling sadness  
Oh how can we believe  
We earn what we receive  
The pain it overflows  
Overflows

Lonely is the night  
When you find yourself alone  
Your demons come to light  
And your mind is not your own

Your lights are on, but you’re not home  
Your mind is not your own  
Your heart sweats, your body shakes  
Another kiss is what it takes

And one of these nights  
You’re gonna show me that you already know  
There’s a feast waiting for you  
And you’ve never even gotten a taste  
It’s later than you think and  
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!

One of these crazy old nights  
We’re gonna find out  
Pretty mama  
What turns on your lights

When I took you out  
I knew what you were all about  
But when I did  
I didn’t mean to turn you on  
Now I bring you home  
You tell me “Good night’s” not enough for you  
I’m sorry, baby  
I didn’t mean to turn you on

And you can tell everybody  
This is your song  
It might seem quite simple but  
Now that it’s done  
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind  
That I put down in words  
How wonderful life is  
Now you’re in the world
