I am the Highway

Audioslave

 

 

Pearls and swine bereft of me

Long and weary my road has been

I was lost in the cities

Alone in the hills

No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

 

I am not your rolling wheels

I am the Highway

I am not your carpet ride

I am the sky

 

Friends and liars don't wait for me

'Cause I'll get on all by myself

I put millions of miles

Under my heels

And still too close to you

I feel

 

I am not your rolling wheels

I am the highway

I am not your carpet ride

I am the sky

I am not your blowing wind

I am the lightning

I am not your autumn moon

I am the night, the night..

 

Yeeah

I am not your rolling wheels

I am the Highway

I am not your carpet ride

I am the sky

But I am not your blowing wind

I am the lightning

I am not your autumn moon

I am the night, the night..

Yeeeh, Yeeeh, Yeeeh, Yeeeh.

The Last Remaining light

Audioslave

 

Roll me on your frozen fields

Break my bones to watch them heal

Drown me in your thirsty veins

Where I'll watch and I'll wait

And pray for the rain

 

Curl like smoke and breath again

Down your throat inside your ribs

Through your spine in every nerve

Where I watch and I wait and yield to the herd

 

And if you don't believe

The sun will rise

Stand alone and greet

The coming night

In the last remaining light

 

Seven moons and seven suns

Heaven waits for those who run

Down your winter and

Underneath your waves

Where you watch and you wait

And pray for the day

 

And if you don't believe

The sun will rise

Stand alone and greet

The coming night

In the last remaining light

 

 

And if you don't believe

The sun will rise

Stand alone and greet

The coming night

In the last remaining light

Light

Light

Shapes of Things to Come

Audioslave

 

Well it's late in the hour,

and a few more grains of sand will fall,

on the colorful flowers grown upon the dust and moss.

Now I fear the worst is near.

I hold them close and count their years.

I pray a ray of light appears,

to shine down on us here.

 

Break down in the shape of things to come.

But I'm moving on like a soldier.

And I'll say it now, when all is said and done.

It's not ours to break the shape of things to come.

 

There's a crack in the clouds,

but only for a moment now.

Like an eye looking out,

the blue sky spies the roads we will go down.

I wonder what they hold for us.

I hold my family to my breast.

I fear the worst and hope the best,

will come to see us blessed.

 

Break down in the shape of things to come.

But I'm moving on like a soldier.

And I'll say it now, when all is said and done.

It's not ours to break the shape of things to come.

 

Given one more try what would I change?

I won't deny the thought is strange.

I've done my best and I will lay no blame,

but on myself.

 

Break down in the shape of things to come.

But I'm moving on like a soldier.

And I'll say it now, when all is said and done.

It's not ours to break the shape of things to come.

 

The shape of things to come.

The shape of things to come.

Bittersweet

Fuel

 

Seven sins of wantonness and

everything that's good is gone

Sell it all for glory from the peers

Silicone priestess scratch the back and

twists the knife to bone

Kick against the pricks and scrape the shins

 

I'm the enemy in the enemies now

 

Swallowed the pill

Drank to the fill

All these things I carry now

In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now

 

Try to hold the wrold there sinking,

swimming in a paper cup

Try to own the one beneath the skin

Held up to the flame 'till singeing

skin begins to draw and tuck

Never told there's a chance to win

 

What couldn't be, wouldn't be now

 

Swallowed the pill

Drank to the fill

All these things I carry now

In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now

 

Hold your hands up to the sky and try

so hard to rise above

But everything is beating down

 

Swallowed the pill

Drank to the fill

All these things I carry now

In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now

Waffle Stomp

Joe Walsh

 

The terminally bored

Sit around with nothin' to do

They say work is hell,

Heaven knows it just ain't true

 

Well you can punch out your boss

Get fired from your job

Collect unemployment

For your own enjoyment

Take out the trash

Come down with a rash

Pick up disease

 

Have doughnuts and coffee

With Colonel Khadafi

Write a new novel

That's perfectly awful

Buy some new work boots

Stomp on a waffle or two

 

Take a long overdue vacation

Book yourself on a flight to the moon

Volunteer for a brain operation

Don't let nobody tell you that there's nothin' to do

 

Well you can jump off a roof

Pretend you can fly

Maybe you'll bounce

Maybe you'll die

Maybe you'll splat

And flap until that

 

Well, you can practice your bongo

Go to the Congo

Get lost on safari

Ask "Where the hell are we?"

Speak in Swahili

They tell me that a lot of them do

 

Talk on the phone

Call up the coast

Call up collect

Dial direct

Reverse the charges

If they accept, they're home

 

Or, you can go overseas

Speak Japanese

Buy a new Sony

They make great TV's

Do the Watusi

Watch "I Love Lucy" too

 

But don't let nobody tell you that there's nothin' to do

Well, well, well, well, well, well

Don't let nobody tell you that there's nothin' to do

Blurry - Puddle of Mudd

 

 

Everything's so blurry

and everyone's so fake

and everybody's empty

and everything is so messed up

 

pre-occupied without you

I cannot live at all

My whole world surrounds you

I stumble then I crawl

 

You could be my someone

you could be my scene

you know that I'll protect you

from all of the obscene

 

I wonder what you're doing

imagine where you are

there's oceans in between us

but that's not very far

 

Can you take it all away

can you take it all away

well ya shoved it in my face

this pain you gave to me

 

Can you take it all away

can you take it all away

well ya shoved it my face

 

Everyone is changing

there's noone left that's real

so make up your own ending

and let me know just how you feel

cause I am lost without you

I cannot live at all

my whole world surrounds you

I stumble then I crawl

 

You could be my someone

you could be my scene

you know that i will save you

from all of the unclean

I wonder what you're doing

I wonder where you are

There's oceans in between us

but that's not very far

 

Nobody told me what you thought

nobody told me what to say

everyone showed you where to turn

told you when to runaway

nobody told you where to hide

nobody told you what to say

everyone showed you where to turn

showed you when to runaway

 

Can you take it all away

This pain you gave to me

 

You take it all

You take it all away...

This pain you gave to me

You take it all away

This pain you gave to me

Take it all away

This pain you gave to me

Sunburn

Fuel

 

The sky was dark this morning

Not a bird in the trees

And silence hung suspicious and anxious

Like a blanket covered scream

 

And you were gone

You were not there for me

And I cursed the sky and begged the sun to

Fall all over me

This life's not living, baby

Living ain't free

If I cant find my way back to me

Let the sun fall down

 

All my friends are searching

Quiet, desperately

Look into their eyes and you'll see the faithless crying

Save me, save me, save me

 

And what are they to feel

And who are they to be

And what am I to do with, do with me, but let the sun

Fall all over me

That's not living, baby

Living ain't free

If I cant find my way back to me

Let the sun fall down over me

Let the sun fall down

 

Until my eyes cry out

'Til my head is free from doubt

'Til my lungs sigh right out

'Til I'm wiser

 

Let the sun

Fall all over me

This life's not living, baby

Living ain't free

If I can't find my way back to me

Let the sun fall down over me

Let the sun fall down

Hemorrhage

Fuel

 

Memories are just where you laid them

Drag the waters till the depths give up their dead

What did you expect to find?

Was there something you left behind?

Don't you remember anything I said when I said

 

Don't fall away, and leave me to myself

Don't fall away and leave love bleeding

In my hands, in my hands again

Leave love bleeding

In my hands, in my hands

Love lies bleeding

 

Oh hold me now I feel contagious

Am I the only place that you've left to go

She cries her life is like

Some movie black and white

Dead actors faking lines

Over and over and over again she cries

 

Don't fall away, and leave me to myself

Don't fall away, and leave love bleeding

In my hands, in my hands again

Leave love bleeding

In my hands, in my hands

Love lies bleeding

 

And I wanted

You turned away

You don't remember, but I do

You never even tried

 

Don't fall away and leave me to myself

Don't fall away and leave love bleeding

In my hands, in my hands again

Leave love bleeding

In my hands, in my hands

Love lies bleeding

No One Knows

Queens of the Stone Age

 

We get some rules to follow

That and this

These and those

No one knows

 

We get these pills to swallow

How they stick

In your throat

Tastes like gold

 

Oh, what you do to me

No one knows

 

And I realize you're mine

Indeed a fool of mine

And I realize you're mine

Indeed a fool of mine

Ahh

 

I journey through the desert

Of the mind

With no hope

I found low

 

I drift along the ocean

Dead lifeboats in the sun

And come undone

 

Pleasently caving in

I come undone

 

And I realize you're mine

Indeed a fool of mine

And I realize you're mine

Indeed a fool and mine

Ahhh

 

Heaven smiles above me

What a gift there below

But no one knows

 

A gift that you give to me

No one knows

Blow up the outside world

Soundgarden

 

Nothing seems to kill me, no matter how hard I try

Nothing's closing my eyes

Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight, no.

 

And nothing seems to break me.

No matter how far I fall.

Nothing can break me at all.

Not one for giving up though not invincible. I know.

 

I’ve givin’ everything I need

I’d give you everything I own

I’d give in if it could at least be ours alone

I’ve given everything I could

To blow it to hell and gone

Burrow down in and

Blow up the Outisde.

Blow up the outside world

 

Someone tried to tell me something.

Don’t let the world bring you down

Nothing will do me in before I do myself

So save it for your own and the ones who can help, ohh.

 

I’ve givin’ everything I need

I’d give you everything I own

I’d give in if it could at least be ours alone

I’ve given everything I could

To blow it to hell and gone

Burrow down in and

Blow up the Outisde.

Blow up the outside world

 

I want to make it understood

Wanting though I never would

Trying though I know it’s wrong

Blowing it to hell and gone

Wishing though I never could

 

Blow up the outside

Blow up the outside

Blow up the outside

Blow up the outside world!

Lost in the Crowd

Shinedown

 

Should I offer up my hand

And save a wish for once

For all of us

And should I offer up my hand

And lay the guilt on myself

So it's easier , to not stay, to not stay

 

Because I found you in your corner

I pulled you out of the clouds

You left in such a hurry

Your face got lost in the crowd

 

Should I open up my eye's or just ignore who you are

And what you could have been

And should I open up my eye's and make believe you will change

So it's easier to not stay, to not stay

 

Because I found you in your corner

I pulled you out of the clouds

You left in such a hurry

Your face got lost in the crowd

Hollywood

Shooting Star

 

She grew up reading every magazine

Of rags to riches worlds

She lost her heart to do the American dream

Of Hollywood

She used to dream about love

Her youth was lived out like on a stage

 

She left the boring world she knew at home

And made her star struck way

But something there was lost along the road

To Hollywood

She used to dream about love

Her youth was lived out like on a stage

 

But these days she hits the strip tonight

All the names in lights, and the games to play

She speeds around and drives uptown

And pulls out all the stops, she'll hit the top someday

Loves New York and California nights

And the glamour life of the celluloid stage

 

She takes advantage of her long blonde hair

Lord I know it's so damn true

We used to sit and talk she'd hold my hand

She'd hold my hand

She used to love me

I used to love her gentle ways

 

But these days she hits the strip at night

All the names in lights, and the games to play

She speeds around and drives uptown

And pulls out all the stops

She'll hit the top someday, someday

She's got the face and the lips and the legs

That fit mid-America's apple pie ways

 

Sells herself to the producer's couch

Feeling down and out on the streets of L.A.

And while she's down she's fun to walk on

Until she's dead, they all wonder why

The applause is not for her but for the silver screen

And manufactured dreams to make you cry

So come on give us one more, come on, one more time

Before the hitting the bars on the boulevard

And never fear everyone's a star in Hollywood

 

She used to dream about love

Her youth was lived out like on a stage

I Could be Good for You

707

 

Do you believe that you're on your own

Searching in vain for a closer friend

Love isn't blind, and you're not alone

Those heart-breaking days may have reached an end

 

I could be good for you, my my

I could be good for you, my my

 

So you're star-struck, living for the stage

You need a change of luck, that can be arranged

Consider your fate, think about your age

There's no time to wait for your luck to change

 

I could be good for you, my my

I could be good for you, my my

 

What you do now isn't my concern

Just let me know how you survive out there

I want you to know, I may not return

If you care to go, I'll take you anywhere

 

I could be good for you, my my

I could be good for you, my my

 

I could be good for you, my my

I could be good for you, my my

my my my

I could be good for you, I could be good for you

So into You

Atlanta Rhythm Section

 

When you walked into the room

There was voodoo in the vibes.

I was captured by your style;

But I could not catch your eyes.

Now I stand here helplessly

Hoping you'll get into me.

 

I am so into you

I can't think of nothing else.

I am so into you

I can't think of nothing else.

Thinking how it's going to be

Whenever you get into me.

 

It's gonna be good, don't you know.

From your head to your toe,

Gonna love you all over,

Over and over,

I am so into you,

Me into you, you into me, me into you.

 

I am so into you

I can't get to nothing else.

I am so into you

I can't get to nothing else.

Thinking how it's going to be

Whenever you get into me.

 

C'mon baby, drivin' me crazy,

I'm so into you,

Love all the things

you do.

Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart

STP

Don't cut out my paper heart, I ain't dyin' anyway

Take a look at eye full towers

Never trust them dirty liars

Sippin' lemon yellow booze 'ole' leadbelly sings the blues

All dressed up on wedding day keep on trippin' anyway

 

I am I am I said I'm not myself, but I'm not dead and I'm not for sale

So keep your bankroll lottery eat your salad day deathbed motorcade

 

Fake the heat and scratch the itch

Skinned up knees and salty lips

I'll breathe your life vicks vapor life

And when you binge I purge alike

Let go it's harder holding on

One more trip and I'll be gone

So keep your head up

Keep it on, just a whisper I'll be gone

Take a breath and make it big

It's the last you'll ever get

Break your neck with diamond noose

It's the last you'll ever choose

 

I am I am I said I'm not myself, but I'm not dead and I'm not for sale

Hold me closer, closer let me go let me be just let me be

Speak to Me/Breathe

Pink Floyd

I've been mad for f cking years, absolutely years, been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands...

I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the

most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad...

 

Breathe, breathe in the air.

Don't be afraid to care.

Leave but don't leave me.

Look around and choose your own ground.

 

Long you live and high you fly

And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry

And all you touch and all you see

Is all your life will ever be.

 

Run, rabbit run.

Dig that hole, forget the sun,

And when at last the work is done

Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

 

For long you live and high you fly

But only if you ride the tide

And balanced on the biggest wave

You race towards an early grave.

Time/Breathe

Pink Floyd

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

 

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

 

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again.

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

 

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over,

Thought I'd something more to say.

 

Home, home again.

I like to be here when I can.

When I come home cold and tired

It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.

Far away across the field

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

The Day I Tried to Live

Soundgarden

I woke the same as any other day

Except a voice was in my head

It said seize the day, pull the trigger

Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads

 

The day I tried to live

I stole a thousand beggar's change

And gave it to the rich

 

The day I tried to win

I dangled from the power lines

And let the martyrs stretch

Singing

 

One more time around might do it

One more time around might make it

One more time around might do it

One more time around

The day I tried to live

 

Words you say never seem

To live up to the ones inside your head

The lives we make never seem

To ever get us anywhere but dead

 

The day I tried to live

I wallowed in the blood and mud with

All the other pigs

 

I woke the same as any other day you know

I should have stayed in bed

 

The day I tried to win

I wallowed in the blood and mud with

All the other pigs

 

And I learned that I was a liar

Just like you

Happiness Is a Porpoise Mouth

The white ducks fly on past the sun,

Their wings flash silver at the moon.

While waters rush down the mountain tongue

My organs play a circus tune.

I dance to the wonder of your feet

And sing to the joy of your knees.

The cold white dress on the mountain breast

Paints the frozen trees.

The maple plants patterns in the sky

Its leaves to kiss the wind

While scores of glittering bugs and flies

Dance polkas on her limbs.

I whistle symphonies of your face

And laugh for your hair so fine.

In startled greens of playground grass

A child jumps rope to rhyme.

 

Reeds and brass, the marching drums

Make a joyous sound

Trees bend low with nuts and plums

Then fall to find the ground.

I hunger for your porpoise mouth

And stand erect for love.

The sun burns up the winter sky

And all the earth is love.

The power to do good is also the power to do harm. - Milton Friedman

 

 

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." - James Madison

I Belong to You

Lenny Kravitz

You are the flame in my heart

You light my way in the dark

You are the ultimate star

 

You pick me up from above

Your unconditional love

Takes me to paradise

 

I belong to you

And you

You belong to me too

 

You make my life complete

You make me feel so sweet

 

You make me feel so divine

Your soul and mine are entwined

Before you I was blind

 

But since I've opened my eyes

And with you there's no disguise

So I could open up my mind

 

I always loved you from the start

But I could not figure out

That I had to do it everyday

 

So I put away the fright

Now I'm gonna live my life

Giving you the most in every way

 

I belong to you

And you

You belong to me too

 

You make my life complete

You make me feel so sweet

 

Oh I belong to you

I belong to you

And you, you

You belong to me too

 

You make my life complete

You make me feel so sweet

 

Oh I belong to you

I belong to you

And you, you

You belong to me too

 

You make my life complete

You make my life complete

You make me feel so sweet

 

Oh I belong to you

I belong to you

And you, and you

You belong to me too

 

You make my life complete

You make my life complete

You make me feel so sweet

Angel In Blue lyrics

 

(Seth Justman) - 1981We met in a barOut on Chesapeake BayWith her white patent bootsAnd her blouse red lameA table top dancerShe would smile on cueThose lips of an angelAngel in blueShe's been dancing for agesThough cities of barsShe was kickin' the habitof scoring in carsShe'd been drained of her spiritAll caged in this zoo

 

 

A wildcat angelAngel in blue

 

 

 

And as she stared out into nowhereI thought, yes, I thought she might break down and cryWhen I whispered I thought I could love herShe just said "Baby, don't even bother to try"And I watched as she spokeHer words chilled my bonesAll her friends did her favorsThat were really just loansAnd she never had dreamsSo they never came trueThe palest of angelsAngel in blueAnd the bees they had stung herThe birds they had flownThere were guys she could numberBut none she had knownAnd she never had dreamsSo they never came trueMy fade away angelAngel in blue

Behind the Wall of Sleep/Wasp/Bassically/N.I.B

Black Sabbath

 

Precious cups within the flower

deadly petals with strange power

faces shine a deadly smile

back up on you at your trial

 

Chill and numbs from head to toe

icy sun with frosty glow

Why'd you go reaching your sorrow?

why'd you go read no tomorrow

 

Feel your spirit rise with the priest

feel your body falling to its knees

Take your walk of remorse

take your body to a corpse

take your body to a corpse

take your body to a corpse

if you want all remorse

take your body to a corpse

 

Now from darkness, there springs light

Wall of Sleep is cold and bright

Wall of Sleep is lying broken

Sun shines in, you are awoken

 

Oh yeah!

 

Some people say my love cannot be true

please believe me, my love, and I'll show you

I will give you those things you thought unreal

The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal

 

Oh yeah!

 

Follow me now and you will not regret

leaving the life you led before we met

You are the first to have this love of mine

forever with me 'till the end of time

 

Your love for me has just got to be real

before you know the way I'm going to feel

I'm going to feel

I'm going to feel

 

Oh yeah!

 

Now I have you with me, under my power

Our love grows stronger now with every hour

Look into my eyes, you'll see who I am

my name is Lucifer, please take my hand

 

Oh yeah!

 

Follow me now and you will not regret

leaving the life you led before we met

You are the first to have this love of mine

forever with me 'till the end of time

 

Your love for me has just got to be real

before you know the way I'm going to feel

I'm going to feel

I'm going to feel

 

Oh yeah!

 

Now I have you with me, under my power

Our love grows stronger now with every hour

Look into my eyes, you'll see who I am

my name is Lucifer, please take my hand
