| Hey Now [song menu] |
Sky black and blue
Blue turn to red
It’s quiet in the streets now
But it’s screaming in your head
I ain’t a fool
I’ve got my doubts
Say it doesn’t hurt
Doesn’t matter anyhow
Anyhow
hey we’re bleeding for nothing
It’s hard to breathe when
you’re standing on your own
We’ll kill ourselves to find freedom
You’ll kill yourself to find anything at all
So lock all the doors
And put your child to rest
There’s fire in the streets now
But it’s quiet in your head
We’re passing the time
By breaking apart
We’re damned at the end
And we’re damned at the start
Blame it on the roses
Blame it on the red
We’re running out of time
And I’m running out of breath
Saying hey now we’re bleeding for nothing
It’s hard to breathe when
you’re standing on your own
We’ll kill ourselves to find freedom
You’ll kill yourself to find anything
We say good-bye
Every day and night
We wright it on the walls
Well, everybody’s gonna need somebody
To take our troubles, and our worries, and our problems all away
‘Cause, hey we’re just bleeding for nothing
It’s hard to breathe when
you’re standing on your own
We’ll kill ourselves to find freedom
You’ll kill yourself to find anything at all
Hey now we’re bleeding for nothing
It’s hard to breathe when
you’re standing on your own
We’ll kill ourselves to find freedom
You’ll kill yourself to find anything at all
Hey now, hey now, hey now
Right now
Hey now, hey now, hey now
Right now
Hey now, hey now, hey now
Right now
Hey now, hey now

| I Still Ain’t Over You [song menu] |
Out of luck and out of tune
Half a day and night confused
Love may wash away the blues
But I still ain’t over you
Damn the day that I forgot
Came so close and almost lost
It’s been one year and 14 months
But I still ain’t over you
Hey I’m the blood in your veins
I’m the cold when it rains
I’m your heart when it breaks
Time, no it ain’t on our side
I’m the truth to your lie
I’m your tear when you cry
Back and forth and side to side
Right ain’t wrong if wrong ain’t right
Well I will love you day and night
‘Cause I still ain’t over you
Hey I’m the blood in your veins
I’m the cold when it rains
I’m your heart when it breaks
Time, no it ain’t on our side
I’m the truth to your lie
I’m your tear when you cry
When the walls come crashing in
When the flames come closer then,
Just remember, time and again
I still ain’t over you
Hey I’m the blood in your veins
I’m the cold when it rains
I’m your heart when it breaks
But time, no it ain’t on our side
‘Cause I’m the truth to your lie
I’m your tear when you cry

| Sweet & Low [song menu] |
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies
I said hell is so close, and heavens out of reach,
But I ain’t giving up quite yet,
I’ve got too much to lose,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, and i’ll carry you home,
The rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine
The wind is gonna blow, the waters gonna rise
She said, when that day comes look into my eyes
But no ones giving up quite yet, we’ve got too much to lose,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl,Hold me down,
And i’ll carry you all the way
When you say you’re fine
But you’re still young and out of line,
When all I need’s to turn around
To make it last, to make it count,
I ain’t gonna make the same mistakes
That put my mama in her grave
I don’t wanna be alone

| Twenty Years [song menu] |
well I’ve been running from something
twenty years in the car
down a road that’s leading me nowhere
we drive through the farmland
no one knows where we’re from
could i kiss you and make you a queen?
or something in between
do you want to see it?
the place where i was free?
’cause in my mind i need it
but you’re nowhere near to me…
move to new york city
take your woman by the hand
leave her there with her things on the doorstep
and there’s no way around it
could this be our last dance?
so fall asleep with the tv darling
i’ll be back again
do you want to see it
the place where i am free?
cause in my mind i’ve been there
and there’s no one here but me
in the morning it’ll find you
let the light shine the way
down a road that’s leading me nowhere
and there’s no way around it
could this be our last dance?
just fall asleep with the tv darling
i’ll be back again
i’ll be back again

| Meet You There [song menu] |
climb up a mountain, just to watch it come down
sooner or later babe, you’re gonna need me around
’cause you getting older, there ain’t no stopping that
it’s a backstabbing world honey, just lean your head back
the fool in me
it’s like a dream, you see
but if the world is right
i’ll drive all night
and meet you there someday
six in the morning, never felt so sweet
just put on lucinda baby, and dance with me
i know i’m hard to count on
forget half of what i’m told
you probably only know my voice
from a god damn microphone
the fool in me
it’s like a dream, you see
but if the world is right
i’ll drive all night
meet you there someday
it’s a fucking waste
of teenage taste of me
but if daddy cries, just say goodnight
and I’ll come,
If I could change
i’d keep away the rain
and the sun would shine every night
and I’ll come meet you there someday…
meet you there someday
foolin’ me
it’s like a dream you see
but if the world is right
i’ll drive all night
meet you there someday
meet you there someday
meet you there someday
meet you there someday

| Fire [song menu] |
no it don’t come easy
no it don’t come fast
lock me up inside your garden
take me to the riverside
fire, burning me up
desire, taking me so much higher
and leaving me whole
there you were
in your black dress
moving slowly to the sadness
i could watch you dance for hours
i could take you by my side
fire, burning me up
desire, taking me so much higher
and leaving me
like fire, turning me on
desire, taking me so much higher
and leaving me, whole

| Either Way, I’ll Break Your Heart Someday [song menu] |
all i have about the way things go,
i don’t know, i just don’t know,
make up some simple lies,
and compromise how i live,
’cause either way, i’ll break your heart someday,
but leaving you is the last thing on my mind,
so when i go, baby kiss real slow,
so i don’t forget to make my way back home,
when i go,
you sail away on a wayward ship
with candy lips in my grip
cheap perfume
oh it it never lies
and you can’t supply
any good alibis
cause either way
i’ll break your heart someday
and leaving you is the last thing on my mind
so when i go
baby kiss real slow
so I don’t forget to make my way back home
when I
when I go
when I go
well i miss you in the winter,
your friends say i should listen,
but can’t you see i’ve loved you all along?
well if america don’t like me,
you can say i finally became a man
who only likes a gun,
shoot anyone, shoot anyone…
Cause either way
I’ll break your heart someday
leavin you’s the last thing on my mind
so when i go
baby kiss real slow
so i don’t forget to make my way back home
when i…
when i go
when i
when i go
When I go (x4)

| Dust [song menu] |
so go on tear it up
black and cold with the dust
cause i believed in the lord
but he don’t show up anymore
if you can’t trust the wind
who can you trust?
if you can’t love sin
who can you love?
if i begin will you let me finish up?
if i fell down would you pick me up?
if i don’t drink from a silver cup, like you
would you say so long, farewell,
and good luck?
so go on tear it up
black and cold with the dust
cause i believed in the lord
but he don’t show up anymore
if a man can’t lie, how can he speak?
if the sun don’t rise
would the moon be out of reach?
if i came home
would you get down on your knees?
so go on tear it up
black and cold with the dust
i believed in the lord
but he don’t show up anymore
i believed in the lord
i believed in the lord
i believed in the lord
he don’t show up
he don’t show up
he don’t show up anymore
anymore

| Rest, Shame, Love [song menu] |
breaking up with your breakdown
standing tall in your white gown
you’re going nowhere, you’re going fast
you’re slowing down, but you’ll never last
take your time, woman
take you time
it’s the wrong dream, with the wrong man
with a cold gun, in your wrong hand
get it right this time, get it off your mind
let the summer rain bring you
rest and shame and love
carve your name in a black stone
swear to god we won’t let go
if you can’t love, babe, then you can’t hurt
take the good times with the worst
take your time, woman
take your time
it’s the wrong dream, with the wrong man
with a cold gun your wrong hand
get it right this time, get it off your mind
let the summer rain bring you
rest and shame and love
duh-te-doo, duh-te-doo
it’s the wrong dream, with the wrong man
with a cold gun in your wrong hand
get it right this time, get it off your mind
let the summer rain bring you
rest and shame and love
the summer bring you
rest and shame and love
and love
and love
and love
and love

| Where Love Went Wrong [song menu] |
the day is done and now we’re older
the feeling’s gone, so now you’ll show her
where love went wrong, on your shoulder
but i tried,
but i tried, goodbye.
you’re all alone and you can’t take it
you’re just too tired to suffocate it
and all along, we’ll just fake it
but i tried,
but i tried, goodbye.
you try to breathe, you try to save it
it marks your skin, until they break it
well could you call when
they’re taking all that you left for me
but i tried,
but i tried, goodbye.
yeah-ah-haah-haah (repeatedly) |
