I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
I thought this place was an empire, But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure
I left my body laying somewhere, in the sands of time
It's prom night and I am lonely.
I don't want to hear who walked on water
You got me sprung with your tongue ring
I never thought I'd die alone
Still there was sorrow and emptiness, 'Til you made me blessed
So turn the television off, and I will sing a song
Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding things
Searching to find a love up on a higher level
She cries that life is like some movie black and white
You may be from Venus but I'm definitely not from Mars
I guess that's the price you pay to be some bigshot like I am.
I heard your voice through a photograph
Ten years older and I've finally found my pride
Who you think taught you to smoke trees
In the air I'm tasting your perfection
He says all the right things, At exactly the right time
Houston can you hear me, Ground-control can you feel me
looked on the bed and brother was dead
Paint your nails and put on your lipstick
I don't believe in your sanctity your prophecy
All those times that I tried, my intention, full of pride
Through these tears I try to smile
I'm running and I question where to go
Everyone i know considers me a clown
And all day and all night and everything he sees
my head just feels in pain
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
There's a freedom in your arms, That carries me through
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
All these thoughts they make no sense
Cupid, don't draw back your bow, Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
Now it's a tragedy, Now it's so sad to see
The world seems bigger than both of us, Yet it seems so small
And as she carries on without a doubt
So your walking on the edge, And you wait your turn to fall.
She got a gun she calls the lucky one
I spit and stutter stuff and clutter
Love, the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
To a place where blind men see
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
Before you take a swing, I wonder what are we fighting for
When I'm hangin out drinking in the back of an El Camino
Even Heroes have the right to dream
Like a sheep runs from the herd
But you're a little on the strange side, I cant lie
I have slept upon your pew
I'd bleed myself dry for you
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
You're all the love I need somehow
My heart was dancing all over the place
Like a dog in a howl, I bite everything
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love
She's falling down drunk again
Baby, thinkin of you keeps me up all night
When my insides are wrecked with anxiety
The boys say they want some gin and juice
She calls my name, Pulls my train, No one else could heal my pain
No matter the distance, I want you to know
And i will take you in my arms, and hold you right where you belong
I wanna sleep on the hard ground, in the comfort of your arms
Every other word is a Huh! Yeah! OK!
If you would leave it'd be a crying shame
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
So you're shaking that thing like who's the ish
I get kinda shaky when they mention you
Run a mile - for the cause, I'm righteous above the law
All of my life, All of my life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
Undo this leash, You say I tied
She don't care about my big screen
Someday I'll find a way to show you
I know, that deep inside you need me
You gotta make a big impression, I gotta like what you do.
Make me feel all that you are, Angel child or a radiant star
Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
I dont know when I got bitter
you crawled from the cancer to land on your feet
Welcome to the jungle punk
I was Superman but looks are deceiving
The traffic is stuck, And you're not moving anywhere
We know what I came here for, So I won`t ask for more
When one door closes, I hope one door opens
I'm the only one who can help me find my feet again
I wish it was all fun and games but the price of fame is high
We are the ones who're gonna last forever
You can give me more and more counting up the score
I even had her in the shower
So incredible, the way things work themselves out
And every single day is just a fling
It's like being the smartest kid in class and having no brain
She sat right down on the sofa I said, "Where have you been?
The party was nice the party was pumping
I worked so hard for that first kiss
Closed the curtain, unplugged the clock
She takes a slight transfusion to my confusion
I just made you say underwear
its your turn for the spotlight, the big dance
Baby you're the one that grounds me
without you there is nothing in this life, that would make life worth living for
while your story's completed mine is a long way from done
You're lovely but it's not for sure
You're unavoidable, Simply irresistible, And certainly you're kissable
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
I may appear to be free, But I'm just a prisoner of your love
you write the words to get respect and compassion
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
And that John's back with the Beatles and they're goin' out on tour
Vanessa calls me on the phone, reminding me I am not alone
We'll slip into the velvet glove
