O.A.R. Album

What can you say about tomorrow?
What do you know about my life?
What do you say to your daughter?
What do you tell to your wife?

a la la la la eh eh
a la la la la eh oh
a la la la la eh eh

Say Mr. Brown how about your daughter.
Do you know what she’s done with her life?
And do you agree that we are lost here?
Well, among the lost we shall survive.

a la la la la eh eh
a la la la la eh oh

a la la la la eh eh
a la la la la eh oh

What’s that you say when the rain won’t go away?
What’s that you do when no one’s looking at you?
Where’s that you go after the show?
What’s that you say?

a hey hey hey

Say Mr. Brown about the weather?
Is it gonna rain on my parade?
Is your soul as light as a feather?
Am I flat out going insane?

a la la la la eh eh
a la la la la eh oh
a la la la la eh eh

Say Mr. Brown how about your brother.
Do you see what he’s done with his life?
And while you’re chasing him out that front door,
He’s chasing you with a butcher knife.

Where’s that you go after the show?
What’s that you say?

What’s that you say when the rain won’t go away?
What’s that you do when no one’s looking at you?
Where’s that you go after the show?
What’s that you say?

An easy operator on the side of the road
A million dollar man in a lower-class home
Chopping trees for needs of a spiritual kind
Forever getting low while he tried to be high
He was an early morning eagle flying through from the fire
Barely getting over forget getting by
But it's all the same to Billy Kincade
If he had to do it over he would do it the same

Living in the end
He was living in the end

Polly and her pity wasn't pretty at all
She concentrated fully on the shine of the star
But your pennies, just a pension
She never let go
They always dominated everything that she owned
She was a queen with means, there wasn't nothing to wear,
And Daddy gave her everything she ever gon' need
But now it's all the same for Polly the Vain
If she had to do it over she would do it the same

She was living in the end
Yeah, living in the end

Are you all right darling, all right now?
You'll never be, never be the same.
Are you all right darling, all right now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?

You didn't see it coming
that's the tale of his life
Easy operator laid to rest in the night
He had to take the hit it's always the same
That's the waste you see in killing Billy Kincade [?]
That's the waste you see in killing Billy Kincade [?]

Are you all right darling, all right now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?

Are you all right darling, all right now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?

Are you all right darling, all right now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever wanna see some change?

I know it's been a long, long year.
God forbid you listen to me now.
I may have laid the pressure on good, but since that day
I'll never ask again.

It's funny, it's come right down to this.
I have to steal my time cause you won't give it up for free.
I've been talking to the moon all night, but the stars won't say nothing to me.
And though i feel it's easy for a man to grow up
Much harder for a man to grow out.
You may not appear, but im standing here my God.
I'll never ask you.

Where have you been?
You could have told me just,
Where have you been?
If you know me you know.
I won't ask why.
They always told me you'd be right on my time.
We're coming around.

Been a day, but i haven't heard your call.
I climbed a mountain just to get a better view of you.
But I'll never ask again.

It's crazy that we just can't feel the time
And lay down for awhile.
And let life catch your eye.
I've been relaxing with the Wind all day.
But the Sky won't open up for me.
And though i feel it's easy for a man to stand tall.
Much harder for a man to simmer down.
You may not appear, but im standing here my god.
I'll never ask you.

Where have you been?
You could have told me just,
Where have you been?
If you know me you know.
I won't ask why.
They always told me you'd be right on my time.
If you give me just a minute of your day,
I see now why you choose to stay away.
Up here life seems more like living,
And living mirrors love.
And love just leaves me breathless.
On we go.

Where have you been?
You could have told me just,
Where have you been?
If you know me you know.
I won't ask why.
They always told me you'd be right on my time.
We're coming around.

You act like you can't see me.
You act like you don't know me.
I just wish you would show me
That you'll be right on my time

I woke today, felt another way,
everything was gonna be fine.
My head rose up then my legs came too,
quarter past nine was the time.
I used to lose floating memories, found myself
wishing I'd remember old times.
But I woke today,
felt another way,
felt free in the sky to fly.

I stepped out the door, didn't know what for,
I saw my lady walking along.
I could have cried out what I wanted to say,
but I am sick of all this terrible charm.
I used to be into apologies, a regular to shame I
was shy.
But I woke today,
felt another way,
felt free in the sky to fly.

Well I'm through the gate, got to my house about
And I made a drink, got about an hour to relax and
just think.
I'm just bored, nothing's ever gonna be the same
anymore.
And with my drink in hand I got up to stand and I
was off to a regular day.

The morning dragged on, I was walking along,
missing pieces fell to the ground.
Apparently, I could not see,
but I saw everything going down.
So I packed my bags and I was on my way,
I feel a little different in a different way.
But like I said when I got out of bed, I was off to a
regular day.

I could not hide, I wore my pride,
it felt good to be on the run.
The air quality was something new to me and I got
along fine with the sun.
And when I rest my heard and I lay down to bed,
I put the pieces down with the blame.
And if all goes well, at the morning bell,
I'll wake feeling free just the same.

Well I'm through the gate, got to my house about
a quarter to eight.
And I made a drink, got about an hour to relax and
just think.
I'm just bored, nothing's ever gonna be the same
anymore.
And with my drink in hand I got up to stand and I
was off to a regular day.

I'm not quite sure how I got here.
A minute passed and I'm on my feet.
I never knew life could taste so good.
I need a little minute, just a moment to breathe.
No matter where I go, no matter who I see
Well I'm remind of my earlier days.
No matter where I roll, no matter what I know
Well I'm reminded of my earlier ways.
But now I keep asking myself.

Wouldn't it be the best damn day if we all took time to breathe?
Just one stolen paragraph in the book's written history.
Don't you sometimes wonder why people are afraid to smile?
Don't look down we're gonna come around and it always come to back, crack time eventually.
Just ascend with me.

I'm not quite sure when I woke up.
The night flew by as I lay asleep.
Who ever knew that life could feel so good?
I need another minute.
Just a moment to breathe.
Well I'm reminded of my ealier days.
No matter what I know, no matter where I roll
Well I'm reminded of my earlier ways.
But now I keep asking myself.
Wouldn't it be the best damn day if we all took time to breathe?
Just one stolen paragraph in the book's written history.
Don't you sometimes wonder why people are afraid to smile?
Don't look down we're gonna come around and it always come to back, crack of time eventually.

Wouldn't it be the best damn day?
Wouldn't it be a wonderful day?
Wouldn't it be a glorious day?
If we all took time to smile, made just a minute for you and me.
Wouldn't it be the best damn day? [repeat 4x]

It's okay if you lock yourself up at the end of the day
And it's alright if you're gonna let us fade to nothing
You worked harder for nothing at all
Are you alright?
She asked me deep after dinner last night

Hold on and you've got to remember
Hold on and you've got to be strong
Hold on and you've got to remember
You've got to come back and you've got to be strong

Do you even hear me?
How far have you strayed from home?
Do you feel me or is it all gone?
Pick your pleasure; be sure that it's what you want
Are you alright?
She asked me deep after dinner last night

Hold on and you've got to remember
Hold on and you've got to be strong
Hold on and you've got to remember
You've got to come back and you've got to be strong
Hold on I know you remember
Right now, here you belong
Hold on man, you've got to be strong

Darling it won't be long
Sit with me, Darling it won't take long
But just believe in me
I'd never do you wrong
I was a million miles away just to live in my head
But I'm never going back to that place again
Now I'm all here with you

Hold on and you've got to remember
Hold on and you've got to be strong
Hold on and you've got to remember
You've got to come back and you've got to be strong
Hold on I know you remember
Hold on, with me you belong
Hold on man, it's here you belong
With me you belong
With me you belong

set out on the voyage of the conquering fools
looking for the gold and the modern day jewels
it come to pass what was stuck in my head
if i didn't quit on looking then i'm probably dead
i hit the road and i rolled up north
looking for the origin, the place of my birth
i didn't notice when i ran a red sign
hoping that everything would really be fine
uh huh huh

people come and people go
but they never know what is going on
so they gotta try to be what they wanna be
what the hell is happening to me

i hit the road and i rolled up north
looking for the origin, the place of my birth
i didn't notice when i ran a red sign
hoping that everything would really be fine
i set out about an hour ago
looking for some gold, said hey oh
the big brass show
so i went and then he started to go
walking down the same old, same old road
thinking to myself, this is quite a struggle
what can i gotta do tomorrow
gonna find that gold
and conquer me some fools
hey hey, hey oh

conquering fools
conquering fools
conquer some fools
hey we're conquering fools

There was a man on the road bout an hour ago
and he was looking for a ride to New Mexico
Well we was driving by
Way too fast to know
Well then we got to the place on a high speed chase
There was a girlie in the corner with a plastic face
And then she disappeared without a trace
I say without a trace

Well now we're kicking back and we're sipping beers
And there's a man telling stories about his inner fears
We was all choked up and too close to tears

Well then we moved on up to some margaritas
And we started making faces at the senoritas
Playing drinking games, but they were all too drunk to beat us

Well now, my car broke down about an hour ago
We were heading on down to New Mexico,
But, well we did not see the gas was low


Hey, hey, I said the gas was low
the gas was low
the gas was low
the gas was low
Hey, the gas was low. Hey.
Lalalalalalalalaaaaaaaaa

We got back to the party
We been on the road we're kinda dirty
I seen this girl I said you're mighty purty.

Well I said hello, bout an hour ago
We were heading on down to the big grass show,
But hey, we did not see, the gas was low

[Chorus]

About an hour, about an hour ago
About an hour, about an hour ago
About an hour... about - an hour ago.

There are few things pure in this world anymore,
and home is one of the few.
We'd have a drink outside,
maybe run and hide if we saw a couple men in blue.
But to me it's so damn easy to see
that true people are the people at home.
Well I've. been away but now I'm back today,
and there aint a place I'd rather go.

I feel home,
when I see the faces that remember my own.
I feel home,
when I'm chillin outside with the people I know.
I feel home,
and that's just what I feel.
Home to me is reality,
and all I need is something real.

Feelin alright, headin out tonight,
maybe off to a dark driveway.
I say now some feel bored,
Well, we all just decide to stay.
We got nothin to do,
and I look at you
I see something that I know and love.
and with the crack of a smile we all stay a while
we know from home there aint nothing above.

Well in the end we can all call a friend
well that's something I know as true.
And then a thousand years and a thousand tears
I'll come back to my original crew

cuz to me throughout eternity
there's somewhere where you're welcome to go
I said it's something free that means a lot to me
when I'm with my friends I feel home.

I feel home,
when I see the faces that remember my own
I feel home,
when I'm chillin outside with the people I know.
I feel home,
and that's just what I feel.
because home to me is reality,
and all I need is something real
Home to me is reality,
and all I need is something real

I feel home.

Down the road there was a man walking, walking
Knapsack round his back radio talking, talking
And his blue suede shoes are covered in mud, but it no matter cause the boys on the run
Black sunglasses and a bald head too, boy never had nowhere to run when it was cold, so cold
So he hitched a ride to New Mexico, wanted to try for the big brass show
But no

He's the wanderer looking for his long lost home
He's only got one place to go
He's wandering and wondering when to go home
He's not alone, not alone, not alone

Feet been walking for a thousand years, trying to drive away those fears, but no
Well then he picked up and then he went down south
Dad said nothing and mom shut her mouth

Well, he never thought too much, just thought he could heal with his touch
For those who need help and more love
And when love came around I heard the sound
Wanderers wandering all round the town
But no, they go
He's the wanderer looking for his long lost home
He's only got one place to go
He's wandering and wondering when to go home
He's not alone, not alone, not alone
Hey, he's the wanderer looking for his long lost home
He's only got one fine place to go
He's wandering wondering when to go home
He's not alone, not alone, not alone

We wan wan wandered along, grabbed our friends and we move along
We won won won the war, grabbed our friends and we ran for the door
[repeat]

In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it's always back to you

Stumble out, in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There's more I need
It's always back to you

But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around

I had no idea that the night
Would take so damn long
Took it out, on the street
While the rain still falls
Push me back to you

But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around

Give it up, give it up, baby
Give it up, give it up, now
Now

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting
Always turn the car around

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around

Don't wanna turn that car around
I gotta turn this thing around

Ohh myyyy
20 throw down in my best bridge
and the man to my left has folded down

Bop bop bop...
I say now skittleedat dat,
Well how bout that?
I'm coming out the front never coming out the back

And I walked into the bar yesterday
Cause I had something to do, something to say
And Johnny walked in right behind me and I didn't turn around
Til I heard the sound of his feet falling on the ground
I looked over my shoulder and I saw a clown
And I said what'cha doin' in the bar tonight.

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!

And I said, what'cha looking at?
He hit me across the face with a bat
I grabbed my .45 and I said let's get out and go
So he opened the door and said do what you're here for
I said I'm wandering round the road four to four
And I said I been walking for about a thousand years.

And my feet are growing tired
My eyes a little wired
Don't know what to do unless I retire
And he just said let's play some crazy poker

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!

I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
But I'm not gonna quit and I'm not gonna stop
Don't give a shit cause I got the drop
Johnny just got two eyes just like mine
And I'm feeling kinda funky, kinda fine

And I drank a bottle of whiskey, 'fore I came
Came to the bar to see what's the same
I saw my man named Johnny sittin' across the table from me

And to my left was a man, he had no chin
Didn't really think about starting a scene
The man to my right wasn't feeling kinda nice
He looked kinda mad and I felt bad
Beacuse I took his money last night it's kinda funny
But now I'm just struggling--
I need a honey-bunny.
I don't know what to say anymore
So I'm just gonna go out, anywho...

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!

Don't fear the morning

When your body's
cold and shaking
I'll steal you, darling,

On the black rock is where i spend my time
writing a memory or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where i like to go
After a long night comin home from MY show
thats where i write my song all day long
the black rock, maryland that is

Sometimes, i just look around
taking the feeling coming out from the ground
thats just something i do sometimes
and then i just come out the door
taking the wind coming off of the shore
and thats just what im doing tonight

On the black rock is where i spend my time
writing a memory or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where i like to go
After a long night comin home from the show
thats where i write my song all day long

When you are on your own
not speaking out is like fighting alone
and that is the worst damn way to fight
and when you are scared no more
you reach your hand out and just open the door
and thats just what I'm doing tonight

On the black rock is where i spend my time
writing a memory or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where i like to go
After a long night comin home from MY show
thats where i write my song all day long
the black rock

About a one, maybe two, three, four, five years ago
Oh when I lived my days full of confusion, as you know
This comes and goes
But it leaves me upset all the time
Oh i was ready to do anything that was wrong
And I was looking for an answer, to just one of these questions here
So I went to this river side, to find me head so clear
And I saw this old man, sitting on a big black rock (black rock)
I said what's your name...he said i'm old man time

And my son well i've been waiting for you for long
You see that i can see your favors, that are growing in you strong
Well I can see that your so hurt, and I can see that your so vein
But you must listen to this thing I say and live through it all again
You must lose that anger, lose all that hate, it ain't gonna work no more
You see this world is runned by love and absolutely nothing more
So I laid down all my pain, and I got rid of my hate
And I love to get away and the black rock is where I stay
We all have a black rock, its in our minds, and I go there all the time
Its the black rock!

There was time now it's far away
I didn't know you, but I knew your name
We would talk, I got nothing to say
But hear me now
You're like an angel that is just for me
Bless your heart, let your mind go free
And it's too loud on the Earth today
So let's go home and lay down

Lay down and rest here in my arms
Lay down the universe is ours

Catch a teardrop, bleed the heart
Masquerade in a world apart
From a mass that got more to lose I'm making a run
So blessed angel that is just for me
Catch the dream, there's a lot to see
But it's too loud on the Earth today
So let's go home and lay it down

Lay down and rest here in my arms

I never seen a body move the way you do
Rocking steady and you know it too
You had to come down from Heaven above and tease the world
So listen good, cause I'm telling it straight
I don't got no more time to waste
I got a trip planned past the Sun
Taking you home

To lay down and rest here in my arms
Lay down the universe is ours

I bought a planet for you
I planned it for you, my dear
There's no one above you
I purchased a room with a view
And we can fly away to outer space
We'll be alone just us two
And you know it's all for you
All for you
All for you

Oh, my God,
tell me this won't last forever
tell me that I'm not alone
tell me that this will come together now

Packed my things up
just the other day
said my goodbyes to all these things I've saved
out in the driveway
we laugh under the moon
I'm with my friends for now, but I'll be leaving soon

Chorus:
but many days from now, I'm sure
I'll be back among your graces
and with you I wont pretend
no, not at all

Crack the morning
up and run in quick
no sleep again last night,
that's the way it is
out in the open under broken skies
I feel every footstep,
I see everybody's eyes
oh, and this is summer in another world
far from the driveway and my baby girl
soon come the winter
with it, quiet nights
and darker days,
and darker fights

Chorus

Oh, the theater is burning
over at midnight
but never like this
hot under the fire
the stars are falling
but never like this

no, I hope you never see this
wait, wait for my love
don't forget me
never let me go
if you wait,
wait for my love
I remember never let you go
until I'm fine, fine, fine. (x2)

To be back in my room
I have the same dream every night
just me
among my things
no one else is there
there's no one left to fight
just me
among my things

Many nights from now, I know
I'll be back among your graces
Untill then I'll just pretend
that I'm not cold

Oh, my God!
tell me this won't last forever
tell me that I'm not alone
tell me this will come together
Oh, my God, you know

Wait, wait for my love
don't forget me
never let me down
and just wait,
wait for my love
I'll remember every one of you
and just wait,
wait for my love

Wait, wait for my love (x2)

Until I'm fine, fine, fine (x2)
I'll be fine, fine, fine (x2)

In the morning wake me up
And tell me everything
So I can understand your world
And you can understand my dream
Yeah I could be anywhere
And you could be there with me
But I just want to be a ghost
And see everything

I don't want it to be the way they want it
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet put your worry down
And everyone of you all around
Come on ya'll let's take this town
Let's take this town

It's better that we keep this close
Keep you close to me
Walking under every sky
Over every sea
You can be my modern girl
And I can be the one you found
If we're taking on the world today
I know we got to leave this town

I don't want it to be the way they want it
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet put your worry down
And everyone of you all around

Come on love make it perfect
More and more I will believe
Like a child I must believe
Come on ya'll make it perfect

This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet put your worry down
And everyone of you all around
Come on ya'll let's take it
Everyone of you in this crowd

We can be anyway, take this town
Come on put them up, we're taking on the world today
Take this town, we could be anywhere

Oh, baby

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for a night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight
And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up, make it all right, yeah, it's all right, all right

And if you promised you'd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby
What ever happened to you
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true, hey
It ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standin' here feeling blue, blue
Ha, yeah, I'm blue, hoh, baby

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around, 'round
The clock on the wall's moving slower
Oh, my heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found, found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Ohhhh, that I found

Hey babe

Oooh, hand that ticks on the clock
Just don't seem to stop
When I'm thinking it over

Oooh, tired of the light
I just don't seem to find
Have you wait, get away

Whoa oooh, I see it in my dreams
But I just don't seem to be with you
You I gotta get it all
Gotta get it all, gotta get it all
I've got to get all

(Guitar Solo)

Ooh, now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet, ohh
I've got no reason to doubt you baby
It's all a terrible mess
An' I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, ohhhhhh yeah
Hey now, ohhhhhh-hoh

Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love, hey now
Light of the love, hey now
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found

Lovely, you're always lovely
A vision
You were the one
Now I am stuck inside a memory
You forgot about our destiny
You buried me
Didn't you?
Didn't you?

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound

You're always floating
A vapor
That I couldn't see
Here I am stuck inside a yesterday
Everything has given way
You fell from me
Didn't you?

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories

Maybe I am a crowded mind
I watch your eyes glaze over
Stared down at the floor
You were amazing to me
I was amazing to you
But here we go again

Didn't you
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories

Peter sat on a mountaintop, nothern wind blows through his hair all day long.
Peter never took no time for him to stop.
Just stood right there and he stared.
Singing, oh.

He don't need us anymore, cause life is just too good.
He'll be living everyday and loving like we could.
And that's Peter's song.

Have you ever known a boy, lonely as can be?
A lifetime away he was a child of the free.
So here he stand alone crying at the sea.
It listens, and moves, and holds him.
Singing, oh.

He don't need us anymore, cause life is just too good.
He'll be living everyday, and loving like we could.
And that's Peter's song.

Late one day on the mountaintop Peter swept down the side.
He'd been waiting all his life for one more chance to ride.
So Peter topped on his hat and head to the west shore.
Singing Ladanday.
And he's singing it all night long.
Singing Ladanday.
And he's singing it all night long.
And that's Peters song.

Have you ever known a boy lonely as can be?
Lifetimes away we were children of the sea.
And if the Sun and Moon come through
Freedom is a guide.
Hoping that one day we will all try.
Singing Ladanday.
And I'm singing it all night long.
Singing Ladanday.
And I'm singing it all night long.
And that's Peters song.

It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed

I know this lady, way down in my country
She was so pretty thet my eyes threw disguises at me
An we would sit and wonder 'bout the future
But now i'm thinkin' that today sounds fine to me
Well i've been working for days on full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head,
said i've been tired in my head...

It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed

I know this lady with eyes as blue as the sea
Now she would sit and stare directly through me
Throughout the past, there was nothing left for me
But i've been working five days on full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head
Said i've been tired in my head...

Its 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady runnin' through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed.....

Its 3 a.m., I wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran outta money, i'm lookin for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed (x2)

Wanna go to bed...
wanna wanna go to go to bed...
wanna wanna wanna go to bed....

I was riding down the highway when I thought I
Spotted someone in the road
I said, “You going my way?”
And he turned his head and said, “Man, I don’t know.”
So I asked about his government and he turned his head and then began to laugh
Well I asked him, “what you running from?”
And he said, “My man, I’m running from my past.”

And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud
And then we drank a brew
I didn’t think a thought about Mr. Brown, he’s through.
I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through.
There’s no need to come around unless you’re true.
Someone in the road.

Well we kept on driving down that road for about an hour and half.
The way that we were moving left half myself
Reflecting in the past
Tired of endless talking, stopped the car and
Started walking down a path.
Lifted sprits to my heart, Lord knows that anger never lasts.

And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud
And then we drank a brew
I didn’t think a thought about Mr. Brown, he’s through.
I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through
There’s no need to come around unless you’re true.
Someone in the road.

A patterned sunrise swept along away the sunrise.
And over these underpasses a towering mountain does rise.
But don't cross the river, not over there.
There will be a mystery revealed and I bet you dare.
And if I am to seek this place y'all can see
Whose Chariot to follow so I can be free?

At night the stars cry.
I gaze upon a lake of backyard.
And under these overpasses a towering mountain does lie.
But don't cross the river, not over there.
There will be a mystery revealed that we're meant to share.
So if I am to seek this place y'all can see
Whose Chariot to follow so I can be free?

Oh no, here we are again.
Oh no, here we are again.

My mamma told me,
"Don't go cross that river."
"Because you might not make it back.
She said, "Don't go out there.
And stay upon your track."
"This money has torn my family apart and I cannot buy it back."
So of course I built my boat, and I was half upon my way.
And when I got to the other side the water came rushing down.
Washed me away.

Whose Chariot...
Freedom...

Whose Chariot?
Take me home.
Take me home.

Oh no, said I'm out that door again.
I left my house, my money, and my dearest friend.
I'm not going back, Jack, across the river.
Got a little bit of business that I'm doing today.
You didn't fell me, you can't really see no good.
I made my life out of a stack of wood.
I've been moving cross the river today.
But whose chariot take me home?

Whose Chariot?
Take me home.
Hallelujah.
I'm coming home.
Who Chariot gotta will you take me?
Who Chariot will you will you take me?
Who Chariot will you will you take me?
Who Chariot would you pick me up and take me?
Who Chariot gotta will you take me?
Who Chariot just pick me up and take me.
Who Chariot come and get me.
Whose Chariot take me home?
Take me home.

It's been a long, long time since I lost myself.
Put my pride down on the table, put my fear on the shelf.
So I bought myself a throne to reside and let myself go.
But I've traveled much too far, where I've gone, I'll never know.

What a long, long time...
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin' in the rain...
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.

My days I've spet relaxin' turned to nights relaxin' too
A thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missing you.
So this time I swear I will loosen my grip.
On past times and bad lines and meaningless trips.

What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.

So, over and over mile signs pass by my side
The more you try to find yourself, the more you tend to hide
Behind these - forest trees - and greens that blind your eyes
To lounge upon that throne I bought,
Confer there with the wise.

What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin' in the rain,
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time,
Long time...yeah.

So here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear.
For who? What can I do? But let them all come through the wall
And though some oppose, many of these things I know,
I'll stay here alone, and lose myself on the riverways of days.
I'm coming home.

What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin' in the rain,
Losing my mind
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.

I look out below me the clouds on top the blue
kids thinking about nothing, cause there's
absolutely nothing to do.
The door ain't wide just open, open to the sky
On top the cage keep hopin', sayin cause on top
the cage just try, on top the cage
Help out your brother to the light at peace is a
helping hand
With help from our mother we shine so bright and
march to the father's land
I said we take the spot and we take it up top and
the key fits in the lock
You come with me on this lifting walk, and you
know you never come back
Because on top the cage is the harmony that bars
and chains never chime
Wherever we go it's not far for me, better befriend
old man time.

I stood on top of this cage one night, all night long
From here the view was proud
So I told people come out of your cage
Time to break lock forever
Join together march on top hold my hand, say
goodbye to never
You can be my man if you want to hang out here
Just me and my girl on top of this world and we sit
there and we stare
At the clouds, green hills, and the mountaintops,
and the river to the side
You can come too, if you want, you don't have to hide

Well there was a time when life caught you by surprise.
What you see going by is a shadow.
You’ve got to live in front of your eyes.
In a typical way we stray, checking back with the past.
In a typical day we’ll stay to see what’s gonna last.

But I didn’t mind at all.
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all

Well there was a place we’d chase through the woods in my juvenile days.
What a typical waste of space, what a wonderful place to stay.
But I could have cried but I just left my soul to fly.
And I could have chilled at will, but I didn’t know how to die.

But I didn’t mind at all.
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all

But this time it’s gonna change
For,
I’ve been lazy, and I been crazy.
Has been stolen,
But from,

From this day on I swear to you true.
From this day on I swear to you.

Well there was at time when I could have flown out of the room.
Yet I didn’t care just where I was going after noon.
Though I didn’t know and I chose to live my life so fair.
And I could have died, but I chose to live here instead

But I didn’t mind at all.
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all

I’ve been woken, and I have been broken
But this time its gonna change
For, I’ve been lazy and I have been crazy
But this time it’s not hazy at all
Cause I’ve been,
I’ve been chose my heart has been stolen
But from,

From this day on, I swear to you true.
From this day on, I swear to you true.
I say now way back when you and all your friends
Had some good times we should do this again we’d say
Hey, hey, hey we should do this again, we’d say.
But in the mean meanwhile, I’ll just walk the mile.
I won’t look back won’t forget your smile
Oh no, hey hey hey we should do this again, we’d say.
But I swear to you true.
From this day on I swear to you true I swear I do I.

NO.
I won’t give you back.
NO.
Won't give you back.
NO.
Won't give you back.
NO.
Can't give you back.
NO.
I won't give you back my baby.
Said I can't give you back.
NO.
Said I won't give you back.
NO.
I swear to you true.
From this day on I swear to you true.
I swear.
I do, I.
God, I do.
My baby, I swear to you true.
I swear, I do.

She takes it deep to the heart right from the start
she talks softly over a glass of wine.
Now and again she's more than a friend, why don't
you just throw me that line.
It would be great if she'd dedicate just a minute
from her precious time.
I'll give it a while, but that's not my style, now how
is that a crime?
Everyone says that I'm wild.
Pardon my French but I still know my child.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.

Well I began walking when she was still talking I'm
looking for that exit sign.
Pardon my face but I'm leaving no trace cause I
really haven't got the time.
Well I began thinking and my heart is just sinking
and I'm looking for that place to go.
Isn't it sad that she'll treat you so bad, but you
never really let her know.
And everyone says that she's crying.
But I can't forget all the time I spent trying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.

I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?

Well I've been through these phases, I've walked
through these mazes.
I'm sick and I'm a little tired.
It sure isn't fair but I'm not aware of the patience
that's required.
If I could have kissed her every time that I missed
her I still would be out the door.
But now and again, I sure need a friend now isn't
that what she's for?

And everyone says that I'm lying,
But I can't forget all the time she spent crying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.

I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?
Baby take it slow.
It's my life.
My life.
Why can't we take it slow?
Baby, take it slow.

I took this girl out last night and we left around 12,
We walked along lonely streets and got to know ourselves,
I like to read - she likes to write,
she likes to sleep - and I like to stay up all night,
My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,
but that's okay that's the way I like to be

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go

I say now hey girl, come with me and let yourself go,
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
I said hey girl, come with me, and let yourself go, go, go, let yourself go

we went out late that night and we danced through the night
I was holding on to her and she be gripping it tight she was
But she didn't care, and I didnt mind
I was unaware that she liked to act so kind,
My friends say I'am crazy and I agree,
but thats okay cause thats the way I like to be

hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go,
just let yourself go

Iron winter, got me cold
Convicted like a criminal
Sharp and nimble, the wind unfold
Got me to my feet again
Past the mountain I hear a cry
Coming from the pinnacle
Oh, In the distance a city shines
Oh, what a welcoming

Been to the black rock
Found my salvation
Rendered me patient
But wearing me thin
So I’m

On the way back home
Seen the big show, thousand times
Got to get back what is mine
The only way I know
Feet been walking, thousand miles
Got to get back what is mine

Bless the evening, it’s showed the way
Back to where it all began
Oh, undercover I made my case
I'm quietly a gentleman
Man, To be a fool is such a waste
He'll eat until he’s sick of it
Why not stop when you find your place
And be happy that you made it in

Been to the black rock
Found my salvation
Rendered me patient
But wearing me thin
So I’m

On the way back home
Seen the big show, thousand times
Got to get back what is mine
The only way I know
Feet been walking, thousand miles
Got to get back what is mine

What is mine
Fallen time

On the way back home
Feet been walking, thousand miles
Got to get back what is mine
The only way I know
Feet been walking, thousand miles
Got to get back what is mine

On the way back home
I'm on my way
You know I'm on my way back
The only way I know

Getting what is mine
Gonna get it back, give it back now
I've come so far tonight

Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.
So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.

Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.
So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.

It's crazy how we all need this time a little more every way.
It's wild how we stay up nights losing part of the day.
The one time that you're loathing is there for you oh so well.
So pick up that precious someone relax for a delicate spell.

Rising up early the sun barely before me I could have sworn I just went to bed.
I smell the blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair.
I grab my coat, my hat, my jacks...I put my hat on my head and I was off again as she said,

Rising up early the sun barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my head to bed about an hour ago.
Blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair,

Rising up early that sun rose barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my head to bed.
I've got to, but it was so cold, I've got trouble keeping hold of my lady sleeping next to me.
But I swear today, I'm gonna go off in a delicate way and I'll have so much fun I swear.
No matter what goes wrong, I'll be moving on,
I promise you, jack in my mouth, hat on my head, and I was off again she said,

Relax for a delicate few.
Just me and you.
I swear to you true, I do.
Relax for a delicate few.

Well, in the end my friend, we will all be together again
Clutching onto my hand, in a valley we'll stand, just living again
And in a while we'll smile, march on another mile
On hallowed hills, attached to the land we'll be still
No one's ever gonna say a thing
And we'll be together, together again
Taking off to the city on down
Just a while ago my soul was confused, amused at what it did not know
Days went by, and amusement cried, I decide to let
My soul fly on by itself, pick happiness up and bring it back to the shelf
We'll be okay one day, in a valley we will stay
No more moving on
I knew it was right here all along
Won't have to hold your crown, no more looking around
Just holding you tight in the city on down
Just a while ago my soul was confused, amused at what it did not know
But days went by and amusement cried
I decide it's time, I got to move on now
But I was so scared
I was frightened, somewhat enlightened
So I changed shoes
Now I walk through a valley of color much better than the other
Way I did not know, but now we can be united
Miracle, miracle sighted, and I'm pulling it in
I know by now we can all walk together at a regular speed
Do you dare to be excited, are you somewhat delighted?
Are you aware somewhat delighted?
At what you did not know
Let's take it to the city on down

Tell me I'm dreaming
My feet are stone and my light is dim
Chasin this demon on his way down

Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?

Spent the night out on the hill
And watched the world sleep sound and still
And over mountains darkness spilled
Washed me over

Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?

It's been a long way back from the edge of that
Saw the world from the hill
I'm right back where it started
And it still feels right like the very first time
Saw the world like a kid
Yesterday is over
Let's write another story tonight

City gates of rusted iron
Can't contain the light inside
So I spot this devil at the county line
And went no further

Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?

It's been a long way back from the edge of that
Saw the world fromt he hill
I'm right back where it started
And it still feels right like the very first time
Saw the world like a kid
Yesterday is over
Let's write another story tonight

After all the time is gone I'll have morning

It's been a long way back from the edge of that
When the world was a kid
I'm right back where it started
And it still feels right like the very first night
Saw the world like a kid
Let's write another story tonight

I saw the world from the hill
Let's write another story tonight

I saw the world like a kid
Let's write another story, write another story tonight

Is it me or does it seem that life just carries on?
Now was it him who said that life is just a song?
Now I don't know what will keep me on this little Earth
I just might use the love that's all in the dirt
But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain't worth it
She ain't worth nothin I got
Ah no no
Nah nah

Was it you who said that my life is over?
Baby it was over from the very start
And did you say that I won't be around downtown tomorrow?
Ah yes I will with a hardened heart

But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain't worth it
She ain't worth nothin I got
Ah no way
Na uh

She can have anything she wants
But she really doesn't know about the way she taunts
It's tearin me apart,
It's tearin me apart
Get Away, get up, and get away

The way I see it things have changed, it's better for me now.
It all began that summer day when the rain came pouring down.
You were being you and I was being me,
But I'll never forget the way you smiled at me, you smiled at me.
When you dropped your groceries on the floor and I bent to help you out,
You touched my hand, the way you did and I'll never forget how.
You were you and I was me, and now you're my one,
And we spent the afternoon in love with someone, and it was you, and it was you.

[Chorus]
Oh, I could have been the king of many things, but now I'm not, because of you.
Yeah, I could have been somebody, but I was just a body to you,
And them things you do, oh, the rhythm of your shoes, I love the way you move.

So on and on those days became the fall,
And I haven't seen you, woman, not all.
Yeah, I stare out of my window at Greenwich Street today.
Yeah, I hope you come back and walk my way.
Oh, the way you used to walk, remember clear,
Down the ally ways and all around here.
And I hear your shoes on the ground and every day I know,
That you'll come back soon, I hope you do, I hope you do...I know you will.

[Chorus]
Yeah, I could have been the king of many things but now I'm not, because of you.
Oh, I could have been somebody, but I was just a body to you,
And them things you do, I hear the rhythm of your shoes...the way you move.

I'm an older man, I've lived my days in wonder.
Will she ever come again, will she come again?
I haven't locked eyes with another.
Oh, I've lived my days inside my place, staring out.
Or the way you used to smile and slam my door,
The way you left my room that day, you slammed my door.
And I'll never forget the sounds of you,
Or the click-clack down the hall, the rhythm of your shoes, of your shoes...
Yeah, of your shoes.

[Chorus]
Oh, I could have been the king of many things, but now I'm not, because of you.
Yeah, I could have been somebody, but I was just a body to you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I could have been the king of many things, of many things, many things.
Yeah, I could have been somebody, but I was just a body to you, and them things you do.
I hear the rhythm of your shoes, the way you move.

It's winter now, I could have sworn.
Deep inside my place it's feeling warm.
Out the corner of my eye I think, I see this woman smiling.
I recognize those eyes, I do.
Or the way you work that sidewalk,
Or the way you walk I know it's you.
Should I come, or should I say hi, should I tell you hello?
Should I let you know I've been waiting here for thirty years?
Should I tell you that I've loved you since that summer day?
Should I tell you that you crushed my life when you walked away?
Oh, Should I tell you that you changed me in every single way?
That I could have been somebody, but I was nothing today?
But, no I'll just sit here, and think about you,
The way you do, the things you do, the walk away...
The rhythm of your shoes.

In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it's always back to you

Stumble out, in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There's more I need
It's always back to you

But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around

I had no idea that the night
Would take so damn long
Took it out, on the street
While the rain still falls
Push me back to you

But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around

Give it up, give it up, baby
Give it up, give it up, now
Now

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting
Always turn the car around

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around

Don't wanna turn that car around
I gotta turn this thing around

Ohh myyyy
20 throw down in my best bridge
and the man to my left has folded down
well johnny doubled up with a royal flush
i had three jacks and a pair of nines
my mind is turning - just two shots more

And I, never to fold.
(never to fold)

And i just lost it all

That was a crazy game of poker
(That was a crazy game of poker)

but someday i'll be back again
And I, never to fold.
(never to fold)

Bop bop bop...
I say now skittleedat dat,
Well how bout that?
I'm coming out the front never coming out the back

And I walked into the bar yesterday
Cause I had something to do, something to say
And Johnny walked in right behind me and I didn't turn around
Til I heard the sound of his feet falling on the ground
I looked over my shoulder and I saw a clown
And I said what'cha doin' in the bar tonight.

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!

And I said, what'cha looking at?
He hit me across the face with a bat
I grabbed my .45 and I said let's get out and go
So he opened the door and said do what you're here for
I said I'm wandering round the road four to four
And I said I been walking for about a thousand years.

And my feet are growing tired
My eyes a little wired
Don't know what to do unless I retire
And he just said let's play some crazy poker

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!

I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
But I'm not gonna quit and I'm not gonna stop
Don't give a shit cause I got the drop
Johnny just got two eyes just like mine
And I'm feeling kinda funky, kinda fine

And I drank a bottle of whiskey, 'fore I came
Came to the bar to see what's the same
I saw my man named Johnny sittin' across the table from me

And to my left was a man, he had no chin
Didn't really think about starting a scene
The man to my right wasn't feeling kinda nice
He looked kinda mad and I felt bad
Beacuse I took his money last night it's kinda funny
But now I'm just struggling--
I need a honey-bunny.
I don't know what to say anymore
So I'm just gonna go out, anywho...

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!
