Here I was all ready to post Papa Was A Rolling Stone and Backstabbers and ya’ll are just too fast for me.

Oh and now I have to renumber my lyrics.

  1. Colored lights hypnotize.
  2. My house is dark and my pots are cold
    71 I can see a tall dark stranger giving you what you haven’t planned.
  3. I don’t like what I think I see
  4. Once the rain starts falling on my face you won’t even see a single trace.
78
  1. Somehow I knew it would be you, To change my gray skies to blue
  2. Wanting just to stay awake, wondering how much I can take
  3. She was terminally pretty
  4. I played all my cards, and that’s what you’ve done too
  5. Once a story’s told, it can’t help but grow old
  6. Or a chinese dentist, or a british queen
  7. Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
