As Rome Burned Lyrics






Hollywood

Baby I love you but I’m so sick of us being apart. It will haunt you when you’re with your girl but still alone in the dark.
I’ll just throw out all the records you don’t listen to. I’m so sick of all the things tearing us apart, it keeps breaking my heart.

I’ll take you there and marry you. In Hollywood. Our children there will grow up good. In Hollywood.

When I first met you, you were the star that I used for my light. Now when I call you all that I get’s a busy tone all through the night.
I’ve got the tickets and I know just what to do. I hear you can see it in the dark, the big letters will shine, we’ll never be apart.


I’ll take you there and marry you. In Hollywood. Our children there will grow up good. In Hollywood.


And when the light shines I will make you mine. And where the music plays you will be mine always.

Try to see past me out to the stage lights that are on in the dark. If I ever lost you how in the hell could I ever remember my part.
Now this will be bigger than just us two. The whole world is pulling us apart. L.A. is like concrete, it will dry around our hearts.

I’ll take you there and marry you. In Hollywood. Our children there will grow up good. In Hollywood.



Under Your Possession


Just like a gun your memory is pressing on the back of my tongue. Just like a loaded weapon.


Under your possession. You little pills are blessings. Under your possession. I’ve got you on my mind.


Don’t try to run from the things that they do. You can hide from everyone, but turn around they’ve caught you.

Under your possession. You little pills are blessings. Under your possession. I've got you on my mind.


I could never stand to turn my back on you, relationships are built on trust. Picking off the berries that have asked for you to lighten up your crush.


Drops in the sun. There’s nothing that will last you. When life is all done just leave me a last few.


Under your possession. You little pills are blessings. Under your possession. I’ve got you on my mind.




Choke This Republic Boys


Have you heard about the new way things are done. There’s an abscess here spread with a journalists tongue.

Choke this Republic boys. Choke this Republic numb. There’s nothing noble left among print, or post, or television.

They can plant the cheer and watch the echo come. Here’s the media, complicit, used up, whored and dumb.

Choke this Republic boys. Choke this Republic dumb. There’s nothing noble left among print, or post, or television.

And the more you try to suck up to the gun the more you are accountable to everyone that’s fired upon.

And the next big war we will draft each and every one. A reporters war. The blood thick on the network floor.

Choke this Republic boys. Choke this Republic numb. There’s nothing noble left among print, or post, or television.
Choke this Republic boys. Choke this Republic dumb. There’s nothing noble left among print, or post, or television.




K


The stars are in the sky. The words are in my heart. I could let them out but I don’t know if I could get them back.
And life is short and hard. Shots in every bar. You take the tips the you pay the debts to push them off but they don’t come off.

Hey Kate, I’m thinking of you. I’m out on my own here, I’m standing alone here. Hey Kate, take off your shoes. Don’t stand on your own babe, don’t stand all alone baby.

When the wishing stops and the hands arive, it’s a long long drop and I can’t fly and I can’t fly.
There’s less and less I want. The list is getting small. I can’t make it stop it’s been to long it’s gone to far.

Hey Kate, I’m thinking of you. I’m out on my own here, I’m standing alone here. Hey Kate, take off your shoes. Don’t stand on your own babe, don’t stand all alone baby.

And if we can’t go back. And this is how it ends. Here in this bar, I’m gonna try hard to remember for always the touch of your skin.

Hey Kate, I’m thinking of you. I’m out on my own here, I’m standing alone here. Hey Kate, take off your shoes. Don’t stand on your own babe, don’t stand all alone baby.




Have You Looked Outside

Well hey this is the big one. This is the one that they will remember us by. For all of the people not paying attention, the fire has leapt to the sky.
This is our war. This is our time. Lift up your head. The heart has bled. Baby open your eyes.

Have you looked outside? Its time. Have you looked outside baby. Have you looked outside? Its time. Have you looked outside baby.

There’s a corporate heart beating. A corrupted cancer that has spread far and wide. And the revolution will sort things together. The first shots been fired all right.
Contract the score. Loosen the ties.. Tremble ye trends, the brass will bend, the baby opens it’s eyes.

Have you looked outside? Its time. Have you looked outside baby. Have you looked outside? Its time. Have you looked outside baby.


And now the choir is empty, the church is exploding, the volume is blasting inside. And believe in the danger, this machine kills fascists, from “That’s All Right Mama” till now
All things will end, and then begin, new if you stand up my friend I say right now is the time.

Have you looked outside? Its time. Have you looked outside baby. Have you looked outside? Its time. Have you looked outside baby.



Girls Touching Girls

It’s coming down on us hard now baby, it’s gonna be a good night for both of us. You can trust people do what they must. Bet on the ones that kick up the dust, come back, it’s just

In their hearts, in their minds, up their backs, up their spines, up their shirts, on their necks, on their legs, up their dress, on their mouths, on their feet, in their hair, on their cheeks, on their skin, on their breath, on their hands, on their chests, go and take it all. Girls touching girls.

On the couch leaning hard now baby, there’s nothing wrong with a little lust. Let it bust, spill the paint on the rust. Rubbing her back in the heat of the hush, stand back, its just

In their hearts, in their minds, up their backs, up their spines, up their shirts, on their necks, on their legs, up their dress, on their mouths, on their feet, in their hair, on their cheeks, on their skin, on their breath, on their hands, on their chests, going for it all. Girls touching girls.


In their hearts, in their minds, up their backs, up their spines, up their shirts, on their necks, on their legs, up their dress, on their mouths, on their feet, in their hair, on their cheeks, on their skin, on their breath, on their hands, on their chests, going for it all. Girls touching girls.



A Minstrel Show

If I ever get the notion to suck for money and not emotion. Pistols out and pissing like a house slave in the kitchen.

Hey boys don’t you know you’re putting on a minstrel show.

Stagnating, you say no more now. A whole art form caught and sold down. Master gives the whipping in platinum chains and stripping.

Hey boys don’t you know you’re putting on a minstrel show.

And I can see them at your side. Your corporate fathers. And they dress you up like men to sell to their white daughters.


A big burning funeral pyre. The greedy frauds and liars. Unchecked capitalism is not good for the system.


Hey boys don’t you know you’re putting on a minstrel show.




Shots

And they wrote it on the wall. And they wrote in on the bathroom stall. I could have told them one and all who to put their faith in.
Let it flow from the top down in. Humming low, angels crowding in.

And hey God did you think you were the only one who could drink? You want shots, I’ve got shots, I’ve got shots, just for Him.
And angel did you think you were the only one who’s got wings? On this spot, here’s the spot, where the Lord, cashes in.

And if what you’re waiting for isn’t every gonna come at all, with you’re back against the wall, raise ‘em two shots back in.
And the poles keep us in the spin. But we can roll, and they can suck the king.

And hey God did you think you were the only one who could drink? You want shots, I’ve got shots, I’ve got shots, just for Him.
And angel did you think you were the only one who’s got wings? On this spot here’s the spot where the Lord cashes in.

And they wrote in on the wall. And they wrote it on the bathroom stall. See him stumble to the wall, watch his vision blacken.
In the cold there’s a bar that spins. Breaking bold, drinking God to win.

And hey God did you think you were the only one who could drink? You want shots, I’ve got shots, I’ve got shots, just for Him.
And angel did you think you were the only one who’s got wings? On this spot here’s the spot where the Lord cashes in.





A Traitor’s Way

Where does your loyalty lie. To the human race or the land where you reside. And there’s a time when silence is the same as to hide. And there’s a time when a traitor’s way is not taking a side.


And from the heart through the fog and the sky. Through the crowd, pushing back against the tide.



Where does your loyalty lie. To the human race or the land where you reside. And there’s a time when silence is the same as to hide. And there’s a time when a traitor’s way is not taking a side.


Lifted up from the ground to your eyes. Look here past the haze, through their lies.


Where does your loyalty lie. To the human race or the land where you reside. And there’s a time when silence is the same as to hide. And there’s a time when a traitor’s way is not taking a side.




The Last Beat


I couldn’t believe it but that’s all right. Life gets hard I’ve heard them say. This place will close out they’ll dim the lights, grab the pulse for one last day.

The last beat here baby tonight. At the foot of the stage. Underneath the spotlight. The last beat here baby tonight. You made ‘em all pay. They bought you outright.

I caught the disease and burned it bright. The fever hot, a burning brain. Before they come down, and kill the lights, just bundle up what’s left to save.

The last beat here baby tonight. At the foot of the stage. Underneath the spotlight. The last beat here baby tonight. You made ‘em all pay. They bought you outright.

And it’s not over now but I can hear the end. Coming like a storm to wash away the greatest sins.

The heart of darkness in my sight, a genuflecting smiling face. And they have gathered right outside. I’d burn it down before they could have their way.

The last beat here baby tonight. At the foot of the stage. Underneath the spotlight. The last beat here baby tonight. You made ‘em all pay. They bought you outright.

An Endless Doubt Lyrics






I'm Your Man

Seven days a week you're drinking. Seven days a week you're drinking hard. The cigarettes that you've been smoking are crumpled in the backseat of my car,
And you dance real slow. And the boys stand sure. The lightning cracks the thunders roar.

Like a train rolling into your house I'm gonna sweep you off of your feet. I haven't been drinking baby believe me, I always stumble and spit up my teeth.
I'm your man. I'm your man. I'm your man. I'm your man. Lights are fading, they're fading, they're fading.
Here I am. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am. Don't make me grab you now, everyones waiting.

Baby I know what your thinking when you're slipping and you're falling at the bar. The liquor running through your system stretches from the bottom to the stars.
The four winds blow the storm watch chords. The tolling bell is blond and bored.

Like a train rolling into your house I'm gonna sweep you off of your feet. I haven't been drinking baby believe me, I always stumble and spit up my teeth.
I'm your man. I'm your man. I'm your man. I'm your man. Lights are fading, they're fading, they're fading.
Here I am. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am. Don't make me grab you now, everyones waiting.

And they can take you home and turn you around and inside out. But I'll be right here swinging hard against an endless doubt.

Baby you know that I miss you. Without you when I'm drinking I'm just drunk. You turn the music in my system from classical to hard rock blues and funk.
Hearts sunk low. A null and void. The ice belt cracks, the drinks enjoyed.

Like a train rolling into your house I'm gonna sweep you off of your feet. I haven't been drinking baby believe me, I always stumble and spit up my teeth.
I'm your man. I'm your man. I'm your man. I'm your man. Lights are fading, they're fading, they're fading.
Here I am. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am. Don't make me grab you now, everyones waiting.



I Believe In War

Good things coming down from high in the clouds. And when you turn around your hearts on fire.
You won't fuck with us now. You're just our little bitch now.

Cause you make it hard to find why your hearts still beating when God's vengeance is mine. I believe in war. I believe in war.

Go ahead and cry. But don't get messy. Where is Jesus now. Hes right here with me.
Loading up for our next ride. Yeah he packs the guns I pack the pride.

Cause you make it hard to find why your hearts still beating when God's vengeance is mine. I believe in war. I believe in war.


Something big is coming back for you. Yeah each one counts, without a doubt, we never will forget about you.

Our hearts are full of fire. And big bombs burning all the trees and ground. The Earth is turning
Over on it's side. Yeah bend and open wide.

Cause you make it hard to find why your hearts still beating when God's vengeance is mine. I believe in war. I believe in war.




The Bible Is Right

I can't take it you just make it hard on me. I can't take it and now I've seen the light.
In the morning the faith is coming down on me, about who you're with and where you were last night.

The bible is right. The bible is right. Women are whores, the bible is right.
The bible is right. The bible is right. Kathy's a whore, the bible is right.

Sunday morning my faith in you is hounding me.Choirs singing, and flash of blinding light.
Without warning the flood is here and drowning me.
The bush is burning. Jesus dies tonight.

The bible is right. The bible is right. Women are whores, the bible is right.
The bible is right. The bible is right. Kathy's a whore, the bible is right.

Ecclesiastes baby. And all your Romans. Paul the Apostle says that your lips were swollen.

Gold for Judas and Abrahams got work to do. The phone is ringing, don't make him wait all night.
A great big pillar of salt has got its eye on you. It saw you baby at the sacrifice.

The bible is right. The bible is right. Women are whores, the bible is right.
The bible is right. The bible is right. Kathy's a whore, the bible is right.



The Ones That Got Away Will Bury Me

And to the sound of mourning I opened my eyes. There was a crowd performing my last rites.

And they're whispering things to make sure I see the ones that got away will bury me.

There's only two excuses that could make it allright. Either you lost your cellphone or your in hell tonight.

And if you're going down then you're following me. The ones that got away will bury me.

Baby life is hard as the dirt flies up. You only get one chance before the shovels turn up to pack down all the hope they were offering up. And leave you there holding onto dirt and to dust.

I've got a hard ceiling for my sky. It's solid wood and blocks out all the light.

And I'll never look beyond it to see. The ones that got away will bury me.


Make Love Easy

I know we've met some other time. Welcome back. Welcome back, it's been a long while.
We are running on such short time. In the snow the clocks still go, the tower bells chime.

Life is hard. Life is hard. There's so much that's hard. Make love easy.

In my dreams there's a place to hide. There's no tears cried, you're at my side, we skip the bad lines.
But I wake up to a world of sighs. Just what to do to get to you I just can't decide.

Life is hard. Life is hard. There's so much that's hard. Make love easy.

Coming round again to show the things that you have dropped into my bowl.
If you don't believe this never ends I've got something to show you, I've got something to show you, I've got something to show you.

Good things often get left behind to beg and die with hungry eyes in a ditch a mile wide.
Don't be guilty of such a crime. The verdict sent reads innocent when two hearts entwine.

Life is hard. Life is hard. There's so much that's hard. Make love easy.



Alamo
See the white flags flying on the dead and dying. An endless line of cowards duck.
In the surrender they'll take you under, and take their bows in ash and dust.

Baby brace we'll show them dangers face.

I don't know about forever. But the line's in the sand tonight. Nothing ever lasts forever. But for one last holding tough tonight is long enough.

Theres an ocean sighing. There's no denying, seagulls sing, the currents suck.
Baby just keep the faith in the big beat to clear the crowds and call the bluff.

Here, come taste a lonely dying race.

I don't know about forever. But the line's in the sand tonight. Nothing ever lasts forever. But for one last holding tough, tonight is long enough.

I don't know about forever. But the line's in the sand tonight. Nothing ever lasts forever. But for one last holding tough, tonight is long enough.



No Plan B

Like a fever while it's thick on the vine. Once it's picked the juice is pouring like wine.
The soul's one record plays, "No Cause Like Mine". The walls and shutters shake. The boy is tied.

What could I do but cut down the cherry tree. There is no plan B.

Listen close and you can make out the whine of the signal from the stars to the spine.
Born and a toll to pay. One name to sign. Grip hard and make it plain. Or scratch and sigh.

What could I do but cut down the cherry tree. There is no plan B.

Let him bring forth what is inside, what he brings forth will save his life. If he does not, what he won't bring, will rot and destroy everything.

Burning bridges babe to give me some light. All around the ones who failed in the fight.
The things you've thrown away. The bonds untied. The chant "Stars start always with selfish guys"

What could I do but cut down the cherry tree. There is no plan B.



Rich Girls

Your clothes. Your car. It's the newest model baby, it can take you fast and far.
Your hair. Perfume. The wallet in your pocket hold a lot of silver spoons.

Your not counting, I'm counting. Big mansion. I'm drowning baby.

Rich girls. I don't want your money. How much did that purse cost baby, my hearts gone, I just want to touch it. I just want to touch it.

Your house. Your boat. Your pool is filled with water that could keep a man afloat.
I know your perks. You've got everything you need without a minute of hard work.

Your not counting, I'm counting. Your charging and I'm drowning baby.

Rich girls. I don't want your money. How does that thing drive now baby, my hearts gone, I just want to touch it. I just want to touch it.

And I get knocked down. And I get knocked down. And I get knocked down to you.
On your scented ground. On your scented ground. On your scented ground and all the chores your butlers do.

How much can you take. Your lips could hold a million, at least twenty in your face.
I can't get straight if it's your jeans or whats inside of them that makes them look so great.

You're not counting. I'm counting. Mercedes. I'm drowning baby.

Rich girls. I don't want your money. What's your bottom line now baby, my hearts gone, I just want to touch it. I just want to touch it.



Amen Baby

God told them all. God told them all. Saying, "humble yourselves and fall"
Here comes the call. Here comes the call. We've been humble for far too long.

Faith. Faith. Faith. Faith.
Here's where the blind see never I'll be bent in my knee, amen baby.

Tied off to nod. Tied off to nod. Oh it's sure been a long strange fraud.
No God but God. No God but God. On His shudder the heart stands strong.

Faith. Faith. Faith. Faith.
Here's where the blind see never I'll be bent in my knee, amen baby

A tighter knot of coure there's none. Have you heard the news, Let your choirs lift their song. It's still the coward blues.

Sharpen the claws. Sharpen the claws. Now we come to reclaim whats ours.
No more to crawl. No more to crawl. Who is above me shall stand and fall.

Faith. Faith. Faith. Faith.
Here's where the blind see never I'll be bent in my knee, amen baby



Goodnight Baby

Looking out from here to where you're standing baby, it's getting late. Too late tonight for your dreams to come true.
And the fear of a wasted life will get you and make you hate the way that you choose the way you do.

I know. I know I know. I know. Your hearts not at its best. And the weight gets too much and you can't lift it up and let your spirit rest.

Well "goodnight baby", if you tried your best.

When all your fears come to craddle you and pet you. And make you stay inside with them all day and night time too.
And the girls who will cut you and forget you have left a mark inside that is deep and solid blue.

I know. I know I know. I know. Your hearts not at its best. And the weight gets too much and you can't lift it up and let your spirit rest.

Well "goodnight baby", if you tried your best. And "goodnight baby" to all the rest. And if all your needing is a goodnight kiss. Then "goodnight baby". May this one not miss.


Go and dry your tears, there's nothing that won't let you. The shooting stars, like cracks in ice, have split seams into the sky.
And if your not near where you're trying to get to and you're weak, and you're tired and they're counting on your drive,

I know. I know I know. I know. Your hearts not at its best. And the weight gets too much and you can't lift it up and let your spirit rest.


Well "goodnight baby", if you tried your best. And "goodnight baby" to all the rest. And if all your needing is a goodnight kiss. Then "goodnight baby". May this one not miss.

_____________________________________________________________

See Your Home






Right Here

Put your hands against the glass. I wasn't young but you can call it that. When time and distance stab you in the back.

Honey you don't have to go. Some things change and some things don't. I've been around, been far and near, and all I want is to be right here.

And in the end it all rolled back. The sea beats out "Was it worth all that?"
And all I've got is what my heart beats back.

Honey you don't have to go. Some things change and some things don't. I've been around, I've been far and near, and all I want is to be right here.

And it's easy to forget. And what you want turns into what you get.
But while my heart can beat it won't forget.

Honey you don't have to go. Some things change and some things never change.



Is That Selling Out


The strong will resist. The weak ones would sell their souls out.
The point that he missed was the joke he was going to turn out.


If all that came at the end of it all was me giving up too.
Is that selling out.

The message was sent. He read it but still he held out.
The war came and went. And he’s left guarding sand and fallout.

And all the rain, says “If we gave you the stars would you let them fall too?”
Is that selling out.


So go on and laugh. The one that laughs last’s the foolish. It’s not much to ask, it just takes one push to do it.


The garden they’d met had long been forgot and closed down.
So no one was left to sit while the roses died out.

To end the same, a love worth a life and a number you lose.
Is that selling out.



The House You Haunt


What wraught the house that dreamed of you.
And stood in the night like a frame that lost its jewel.
One soul was kept to hold on to and walk forever in the halls and empty rooms.
Always I will be the house you haunt.
Always I will be the house you haunt.

Recalled to life through faded rooms.
The wasted and gone are shown by the light and move.
Who loved them best and let them go to rest in peace have found a home. Forget but the walls will know.


Always I will be the house you haunt.
Always I will be the house you haunt.


Beneath the stars we made a tomb.
Awake in the night and see scrawled across the room.
"This world of ours is not for you"
They hold who's left alive who raise their home on the souls they lose.

Always I will be the house you haunt.
Always I will be the house you haunt



Jefferson's Dilemma


I see the strain you're under baby. It's a load that's hard to bear. But it's been too long to change it. Until the end I will keep you here.

It may be right to let you go. But it just would not be right for me.
It may be right to let you go. But it just would not be right for me.

There's an angry God who's waiting for the time he will judge our crimes.
And there's a judgement for me waiting down the line. I have seen the signs.

It may be right to let you go. But it just would not be right for me.
It may be right to let you go. But it just would not be right for me.

I won't try to argue or to justify. But keep in mind for every crime there's always a place where it was right at the time.

If you think that's thunder baby watch the skies. They're clear tonight.
What if all that you can crave is only tied to you with lies.

It may be right to let you go. But it just would not be right for me.
It may be right to let you go. But it just would not be right for me




Let Your Love Be the End of Me


I've already seen all I need to see and now I'm ready to let it fade to black. There's nowhere left to be, take the weight and let it free. I'm ready to lay the final track.

Let your love be the end of me. Let your love be the end of me.

Promises to keep are just miles of road and restless sleep. I'm ready for sleeping now at last. An ocean for a sea, an endless hum for hearts that bleed. I'm ready to give them this world back.

Let your love be the end of me. Let your love be the end of me.

A speck of galaxy. Like a raindrop in the sea. I'm ready to drown and not look back. Just look up and see the balls that light the final scene. I'm ready to make your kiss my last.

Let your love be the end of me. Let your love be the end of me.



The Only Parts of a Movie That Count


What your heart keeps within is cut or eats you slow. And if your first cuts thin then cut your heart and soul.
And if you feel your getting colder, it always does when your taking out.

The only parts of a movie that count.

It's not a way to win, but if it's not let go, the love your hearts keeps in will like a cancer grow.
And the best you ever can do is make an art of tearing out.

The only parts of a movie that count.

I'm wounded baby the cut you gave me has spread out far and wide. And gone but baby the pain is fading with every drop spilt from my side.

Shots of where you've been. Shots of where you'll go. The greatest script I've been. A broke heart makes a show.
Another break and it's a breakthrough. Another cut and get it out.

The only parts of a movie that count.



The Choice


Young girl wonder what you put inside you. Closing off all your heart and your mind. Driving out to the ocean this morning. Shallow shoals or the peak of high tide.

It's the choice. Something or nothing. It's a thin line. It's the choice. God are you kidding. This is life or long lines.

One life, what has he got he will show you. Search it long and still ye shall not find. How does a life turn out when it's just longing for a shelter to pass out all of your time.

It's the choice. Something or nothing. It's a thin line. It's the choice. God are you kidding. This is life or long lines.

And what will he save you from. I'm here, come what comes. The blood from my heart may run, but it still beats like a drum honey.

Allright, ground all the meat up to serve it. Dress up according to taste and to time. Then when you settle down to look back over your life stifle the stench and the sigh.

It's the choice. Something or nothing. It's a thin line. It's the choice. God are you kidding. This is life or long lines.




The Only Port


This is an ocean here. The seas are ripped and the main sail's scattered.
Ain't it hard to hear. But the drowning voices prove.

The message sent from the start until now is that what you love to be holding is what the one port we've found it.

And this is caught between a devil you chase but who's always faster. And a deep blue sea that keeps reaching out for what's lasted for you.

And bless the ones who won't reach where they're bound and never will know what it was to reach what the one port we've found is.

And on the sea someone is moving slow, his sails are bound in. He's saying goodbye to one who was what the only port that he's ever found is.




Faith But Waiting


There's no change you can't undo. Faith like a fever is burning all over that nothing will change. I'm waiting.

Full of faith I'm waiting for you. What is faith but waiting.
If the rest is life and long and true what is faith but waiting.

Nothing is ever lost if you keep it from dying. Don't let it die. Don't let it die I'm waiting.

Full of faith I'm waiting for you. What is faith but waiting.
And the rest is life, and long and true. What is faith but waiting.

Baby the stars are more then proof, that this sad world of ours is not too sad for me and you.

You can make every dream in your heart come true, if you push hard enough then the things that you love come back to you. I'm waiting.

Full of waiting I'm waiting for you. Full of faith I'm waiting. And the rest is life, and long and true. What is faith but waiting.




See Your Home

Standing by the ship as it passed. Roses hung from the rafters and were tied to the mast. And God bless the ones who could make the trip last.

Lay down my love complete. May the eyes your closing see their home.

Buried in the heart of the grass in memory of all that you love that won't last. And long as roses still bloom I'll lay roses on that.

Lay down my love complete. May the eyes your closing see their home. And soft as snow the lids will meet. Lay down my love complete.

Written in the curve of the path by Earth in a sky where a billion lights flash is "Of all stars just one, I'll turn to the last"

Lay down my love complete. May the eyes your closing see their home. And what you lose and what you keep. Lay down my love complete. May the eyes you're closing see their home.

The Ones You Don't Forget


1) Cynthia

You're a person who always seems to know exactly what to do.
Can't you see how I feel about you. The only girl for me is you.

I'll wait all night for you baby. If you need to think what to do.
My faith is heavy and loaded. For someone as smart as you.

Where's your head at Cynthia. I've been waiting for it so long.
Where's your head at Cynthia. I've been waiting for it, praying for it.

I could never forget about you. There's no forgetting when you know.
Some people spit out the big pitts but if you plant them they will grow.

I give you my love shining like a red light on us tonight.
If you're not comfortable praying, I'll just give you God's advice.

Where's your head at Cynthia. I've been waiting for it so long.
Where's your head at Cynthia. I've been waiting for it, praying for it.

I've been loving you for such a long time now. But if you're afraid of me not sticking around, if the sun goes down on me, I know it will go down on you, And it will set on both our heads. My nights are big and blue without you.

When you see things from the bottom to the top I hope you'll understand.
You're the bright star that I want to show to my beach and my sand.

Heaven can sneak through your window and lay right down on top of you.
But if you want something more babe, at some point it's up to you.

Where's your head at Cynthia. I've been waiting for it so long.
Where's your head at Cynthia. I've been waiting for it, praying for it.



2) Jaimie

You've broken all my bones. My strongest bones.
You've stopped them from staying hard, from staying strong.

I know all the places where you can take me. Cause I've seen them when you're changing.
The signs all point to leaving the way I came this evening. And your rooms just your little kingdom. And it's allright to be there but don't think it matters.

Jaimie, you don't have to cover up your eyes. Every time I try to make a left turn.
Jaimie, we tried to do it your way and we'll find, every city burns.

You're special. You've got it all, you've got it all.
So let them. Let them fall, let it fall.

In a painted ceiling, writ above the kneeling, is "every good comes with better feeling"
All the signs you're reading, that are to the Mona leading. are just breadcrumbs you're fucking feeding. And it's allright to be here but don't think it matters.

Jaimie, you don't have to cover up your eyes. Every time I try to make a left turn.
Jaimie, we tried to do it your way and we'll find, every city burns.


Jaimie, you don't have to cover up your eyes. Every time I try to make a left turn.
Jaimie, we tried to do it your way and we will find every city burns.


3) Gina

You can look and stay all night baby, like on a shore where looks a beach, on an ocean that will never tell how cold it's heart can be.

"I wish you well" signed the parts you'll never reach.
And what's to tell, they bury you in the words you never speak.

Gina what's the deal, I get lost, hard and stuck. I go cold I shut up.
I can't tell you how I feel.

And if you've followed it from the start baby, right here is where it leads. My heart will rust, a prison cell, and I've thrown away the key.

I've tried to be more than what you see. But push to shove, you just can't change what you've grown your self to be.

Gina what's the deal, I get lost, hard and stuck. I go cold I shut up.
I can't tell you how I feel.

And hey, the finger that's pointing straight at me says "fare thee well, your hopes, your heart, your faith, your joy, your dreams"

Take my hand, let go of my heart, that war's been lost indeed. Place your bets and pay for cards, I'll pay for the cards I keep.

It's not you, it's me. A boy stood on a beach. And found a shell and kept his pearl inside it, out of reach.

Gina what's the deal, I get lost, hard and stuck. I go cold I shut up.
I can't tell you how I feel.

4) Caitlin

I love you but, I miss you but, you can't come back from where I've gone.

Jesus, Caitlin. There's someone saying. Take a bite. Take a bite. And now walk on and the pain will be over, Move on, let go, this will will all soon be over.

I want it but if wanting could get what you want I'd have it all.

Jesus, Caitlin. There's someone saying. Take a bite. Take a bite. And now walk on and the pain will be over, Move on, let go, this will will all soon be over.

And it gets to you and you can't get through.

Jesus, Caitlin. There's someone saying. Take a bite. Take a bite. And now walk on and the pain will be over, Move on, let go, this will will all soon be over.


5) Ashley

Maybe they see one more time but I see forever. It feels just like, baby if you get high, baby with you I fly.

And I have come where the streams all run dry.




Ashley you're so clean, I didn't know that perfume and soap were how God would come back. Given up hoping, I didn't know that perfume and soap were how God would come back.

Ashley you're so clean, I didn't know that perfume and soap were how God would come back. Given up hoping, I didn't know that perfume and soap were how God would come back.

Ashley you're so clean, I didn't know that perfume and soap were how God would come back. Given up hoping, I didn't know that perfume and soap were how God would come back.


6) Yoko

Look out nothing, here I come.

He don't care anymore. He's no good anymore. He don't come anymore, only for you.

I have carried a heavy load. All the starlight a man can hold. To find it men have searched their whole lives through. But I will drop it and wound the world for you. The world for you.

Was there something left undone. Like grains of sand on the shore. See what's hung on your door. The best gift ever ignored, and broken in two.

I have carried a heavy load. All the starlight a man can hold. To find it men have searched their whole lives through. But I will drop it and wound the world for you. The world for you.

In the twilight I've laid to rest here something. Rest here something.
If. Take it in, take it in.

What if never work is done. Moses led the men forward. The gift of God his reward. Held on tight to the chord all his life through.

I have carried a heavy load. All the starlight a man can hold. To find it men have searched their whole lives through. But I will drop it and wound the world for you. The world for you.

7) Angelina

If I see that you're blue, with no God to call to, come back and watch the steps I do. Turn right and love the things you lose.

Get it honey, we didn't have a shot. Get it honey, we didn't have a shot. It was fighting baby. Fighting baby, and the bets were locked. And the bets came in locked. Oh Angelina, I loved you baby but we didn't have a shot.

Here's God and there's you. To build a bridge between the two guard it fast and no religion too. John is dead. The Mark Chapman blues.

Get it honey, we didn't have a shot. Get it honey, we didn't have a shot. It was fighting baby. Fighting baby, and the odds were locked. And the odds came in locked. Oh Angelina, I loved you baby but we didn't have a shot.

What more can I do.

Get it honey, we didn't have a shot. Get it honey, we didn't have a shot. It was fighting baby. Fighting baby, and the bets were locked. And the bets came in locked. Oh Angelina, I loved you baby but we didn't have a shot.



8) K- (Part 2)

Those were other days, those were different stars. If I could go back then we'd still end up where we are.

It's cold here, it's dark here, the part that cared, Kate it's gone.
It's cold here, it's dark here, the part that cared, Kate it's gone.

At rest the last who thought you could have been a star. Like a milion more came and did, when you lose that much what's just one more.

It's cold here, it's dark here, the part that cared, Kate it's gone.
It's cold here, it's dark here, the part that cared, Kate it's gone.

And there's no way back. And here's what endings are. Sweet, I was wrong. A girl in a bar and a wasted dream are the best we are.

Is this the best you've got. You're best won't get you far. You'll grow old quick, and in a blink, you'll lose your looks and lose them hard.




It's cold here, it's dark here, the part that cared, Kate it's gone.
It's cold here, it's dark here, the part that cared, Kate it's gone.


9) Julia

Some things are real, don't doubt it. Like God's on a mountain and writing down,

You got me at home. Ain't it big. You got me at home, say it's big Julia. Thank God it had grown. You got me at home. Say it's big Julia.

Depends how you feel about it, The king of the mountain was looking down,

You got me at home. Ain't it big. You got me at home, say it's big Julia. Thank God it had grown. You got me at home. Say it's big Julia.

Don't speak for a long time, then read the headline,

You got me at home. Ain't it big. You got me at home, say it's big Julia. Thank God it had grown. You got me at home. Say it's big Julia.

If the gigs on a mountain, then play it loud.

You got me at home. Ain't it big. You got me at home, say it's big Julia. Thank God it had grown. You got me at home. Say it's big Julia.


10) T.H.

Someday I'll go. Think back long ago. One time you did know, a heart that don't let go.

None of them mattered but you. None of them mattered but you.

Always I find life is a hard time. Make up your own mind, learn what I can't find.

None of them mattered but you.

And line them up against the wall. I dreamed them up and after all, The one that's left's stayed longer than a dream can do.

Where you may go, take care, take hold. Walk on and just know, for one heart and one soul

None of them mattered but you. None of them mattered but you.
