Speak to me in succinct song lyrics

Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked

Sundowns are golden
Then fade away
But if I never do nothing
I’ll get you back some day, 'cause…

There is no sense in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do
We said all there is to say

Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey take me through the night
Breakdown, now I’m standing here can’t you see
Breakdown, it’s alright

So sleep tight baby
Unfurrow your brow
And know I love you
We’re alright for now

We’re alright for now

No, I’ll stand my ground
Won’t be turned around
And I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
Gonna stand my ground

Don’t come around here no more
Don’t come around here no more
Whatever you’re looking for
Hey! don’t come around here no more

Don’t you ever feel sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you’re down
In a river of trouble and about to drown
Just hold on, I’m comin’
Hold on, I’m comin’

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight to your dream

Moving in the future’s grasp
Stepping through the mirror to the past
Falling through descending time
Suspended in the moment of a naked eye

Chasing the tail of a dream
Chasing the tail of a dream

Somebody call out my name (John)
As it started to rain
Two spirits dancing so strange
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse

I’m too sexy for my cat
Too sexy for my cat
Poor pussy
Poor pussy cat

Practical cats, dramatical cats
Pragmatical cats, fanatical cats
Oratorical cats, Delphic Oracle cats
Skeptical cats, Dispeptical cats
Romantical cats, Pedantical cats
Critical cats, parasitical cats
Allegorical cats, metaphorical cats
Statistical cats and mystical cats
Political cats, hypocritical cats
Clerical cats, hysterical cats
Cynical cats, rabbinical cats

Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle sharps and jellicle flats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats

A long, long time ago
In the land of idiot boys,
There lived a cat, a phenomenal cat
Who loved to wallow all day.

Top Cat! He’s the undisputed
Leader of the gang!
He’s the top; he’s the tip;
He’s the championship!
He’s the most tip-top Top Cat!

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we’d been through
In school they all stop and stare
I can’t hide the tears, but I don’t care
I’ll never forget him, the Leader of the Pack

Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, don’t get caught
Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, let us out
Wilder, lower, wolves
Here’s a house to put wolves out the door

To make the merry-go-round go faster
So that everyone needs to hang on tighter
just to keep from being thrown to the wolves.

I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

We are not chained to the wheel
To the wheel

It’s the way that you feel
It’s the truth in your eye
'Cause you’re up against the world and still you rise
Still you rise

Take your place on The Great Mandala
As it moves through your brief moment of time.
Win or lose now - you must choose now
And if you lose, you’re only losing your life.

Take a page, print your name
Tack it to the prayer wheel
Spin it 'til it makes the sound
Of a thousand voices crying
Every name that’s on the prayer wheel
Lamentations up to heaven
Make some small enough to wear
Around our wrists, reminders there
Of the promises we made
