Your Way Home
02:55
|
|||
|
You know
You know
You want to meet somebody new
You want someone who loves you
You want to eat your cake and have it too
'Cause you know
But you can't find your way home
You know
You know
You want to go out every night
And you want a man who treats you right
But the ones you choose fuck everything in sight
And you know
But you can't find your way home
You know
You know
So you leave the clubs all alone
Twisted thoughts want to atone
Another piece of your heart it turns to stone
But you know
Still you can't find your way home
In the middle of the night
You awake with a fright
All along you were right
But try as hard as you might
You've got to give up the fight
Cause without your sight
You can't find your way home
You crack open your eyes to let the sunlight in
You can smell the gin in the pores of your skin
You're both sick and tired but you do it again
And again
And again
And you know it's alright 'cause so do your friends
But you can't find your way home
No you can't find your way home
No you can't find your way home

City Without Air
03:07
|

I found a picture on the shelf it was simply of myself and now I see all of the lines everything you took inside and that feeling that I get when you tell me that you're wet but there's another side I bet and it isn't found in books but in the crannies and the nooks and the tinniest of looks when you know I'm feeling down
There was a time when I was fine and the earth was free of swine but then they stuck me in a line and something jolted through my spine and sent a shiver across my nerves and I haven't been the same since that day I went insane I knew there was something in these veins that was special and it threw me to the floor and left me begging for no more I was gasping like a fish for air and as I drifted away there was nothing I could do or say but somehow I knew you were there
I feel your presence next to me
And it helps me to be free
Of all the hate and debris
That is rising off these streets
In this City Without Air
I walk alone among these streets and recognize all that I meet and we all stare at each other's feet and pretend everything is neat but if they really knew my mind they wouldn't like what they find and some others would even blush 'cause I've got a dirty should and it's spun out of control among all this lust and greed when what we really really need is love
It's love
I feel your presence next to me
And it helps me to be free
Of all the hate and debris
That is rising off these streets
In this City Without Air

Prague

You move like smoke
You give me hope
You are a piece of art
And when you smile, you break my heart
You lost control when
You bit into my soul
You played your part
And when you smile, you break my heart
You changed my world when
You were just a little girl
You knew from the very start
That when you smile, you break my heart
How can anyone know me
When I don't even know my self?
How can anyone love me
When I don't even love my self?
It's easier to love than to be loved
This is the sound of my breaking heart
This is the sound of me falling apart

Let's Get Tattoos
02:47
|

|
Let's live dangerously
Let's all tell the truth
Let's wear our hearts on our sleeves
Let's all get tattoos
We talk out of the sides of our mouths
We all speak in tongues
We talk until our tongues fall out
We get nothing done
CHORUS:
It's all so stupid
Why's everybody have to be afraid
It's all so pointless and dumb
It's all so stupid
Why's everybody have to be insane (the same)
It's all so pointless and dumb
Let's talk to strangers
Let's eat their candy too
Ideas aren't dangers
They're just points of view
CHORUS
Let's live dangerously
Let's say what we mean
Here's another novelty
Let's be what we seem
CHORUS

Alien Nation

I'm living in alienation
I'm living all alone
I'm living with a cheap imitation
Oh baby, won't you please come home?
When you stopped talking to me
I heard Sting sing "Set Them Free"
"No surprise, no mystery"
It's no surprise I'm so lonely
I'm living in alienation
I'm living all alone
I'm living with a cheap imitation
Oh baby, won't you please come home?
I was wrong and I can admit it
You can't break trust - not for a minute
I should have stopped before I was in it
Lying's wrong, but can you forgive it?
I'm living in alienation
I'm living all alone
I'm living with a cheap imitation
Oh baby, won't you please come home?
I'm living in alienation
I'm living all alone
I'm living with a cheap imitation
Oh baby, won't you please come home?
Now you're gone it's just me and Sting
Yesterday was the same old thing
In the land of Pain, I'm the king
But you know even the caged bird sings
I'm living in alienation
I'm living all alone
I'm living with a cheap imitation
Oh baby, won't you please come home?

Hello
04:23
|
|||
|
This is just a call to say, "hello."
I thought I lost your number long ago
I hadn't thought about you for a while
You know I miss your voice, I miss your smile
So, "hey, how's it going?
Hey, what's going on?
Hey, how ya doing?
Hey, what's going on?"
I guess I haven't got that much to say
I just wanted to know that you're OK
I wish that I could hold your hand again
And know that when it's over it's really not the end
"Hey, how's it going?
Hey, what's going on?
Hey, how ya doing?
Hey, what's going on?"
I know it should get easier as time slips away
I know it should be easier; it's just not today
All I really want is to see you again
All I really want is to say,
"Hey, how's it going?
Hey, what's going on?
Hey, how ya doing?
Hey, what's going on?"

"When you die in your sleep," she said,
"You die in real life because you die in your head."
"When you fall in your dreams," she said,
"It's for waking you up so that you land in your bed."
Now I'm wide awake by you
And you're fast-asleep because that's just what you do.
WAKE UP! You're falling again!
"When you talk in your sleep," she said,
"It's like knowing the truth but telling a lie instead."
"When you walk in your dreams at night,
It's like running away from all the pain in your life."
And you're perfectly still tonight
And I barely breath because I'm afraid that you're right.
WAKE UP! You're falling again!

Better Than Vedder
02:58
|
|||
|
I know you'd rather hear Eddie Vedder sing
Than ever have to hear anything
That I could play on this here guitar
But I wrote this song for you
And it may be out of tune
But it's still much more than Eddie Vedder'd ever do
Even if he knew who you are
I know I was wrong
But you waited too long
And I can't take it back - all the strength that I lack
It's true
I know we've had our fights
But not like Friday night
When you gave me such a fright
That I thought you really might
Leave me for real and for good
I was such a fool; I acted like a tool
But I thought I was cool and maybe that was cruel
But I never thought you'd leave me or could
I know I was wrong
But you waited too long
And I can't take it back - all the strength that I lack
It's true
I know you'd rather hear Eddie Vedder sing
Than ever have to hear anything that I could play

Halloween
03:57
|
|||
|
It's Halloween
I want to go out; I want to be seen
And I want to know what it's like (what's it like?)
To be free, to be me
To be bursting at the seems
I'm all dressed up, with nothing to loose
And I want to be with you
I'm all dressed up, with nothing to loose
And I want to be with you
And you, and you and you and you and you
I'm wearing a mask
And I can't tell the difference anymore
I want to live my life, just live my life
There's this thing called truth
But I don't know what it's for (what's it for?)
I'm all dressed up, with nothing to loose
And I want to be with you
And you, and you and you and you and you
This world's a stage
I play my part but I just want to rage
I want to know what it's like (what's it like?)
To be brash, not be staid
To be myself unafraid
It's Halloween
I want to go out; I just want to breathe
I want to know what it's like (what's it like?)
To be mean and obscene
At the center of a scene
I'm all dressed up, with nothing to loose
And I want to be with you
And you, and you and you and you and you
It's Halloween
And there's too many monsters on the street.

Five Senses
04:37
|

|
I see the sun up in the sky
I see the blue reflected in your pretty eyes
I feel the light upon my skin
I feel the love around my soul says let it in
Oooh!
I smell the roses freshly bloomed
I smell the fresh new grass that carpets this whole room
I hear the birds up in the tree
I hear that joyous song their singing just for me
Oooh!
My five senses are all lit up just for you
You've caught me in your spell I don't know what to do
I taste the salt upon your skin
I taste your sweetness - Sweetness, where do I begin?
My five senses are on fire
And my sixth sense is sensing you share my desire
Oooh!
I taste the sun up in the sky
I see the birdsong that is there for you and I
You've got my senses all confused
If love is punishment, well color me abused
Oooh!
My five senses are all lit up just for you
You've caught me in your spell I don't know what to do
