The Hold Steady - First Night

charlemagne shakes in the streets
gideon makes love to the suites
holly's not invincible
in fact she's in the hospital.
not far from the bar where we met
on that first night.

charlemagne pulls street corner scams
gideon's got a pipe made from a pringles can.
holly's insatiable.
she still looks incredible.
but she don't look like the same girl we met.
on that first night.

she was golden with barlight and beer.
she slept like she'd never been scared.

and then last night
she said words alone never could save us.
and then last night
she cried when she told us about jesus.

holly's inconsolable
unhinged and uncontrollable.
because we can't get as high as we got
on that first night.

boys and girls in america.

don't bother talking to the guys
with the hot soft eyes.
they're already taken.
dont even speak
to all those sequencer and beats boys.

when they kiss they spit white noise.
white noise.

Every Breath You Take - The Police

  Every breath you take
  Every move you make
  Every bond you break
  Every step you take
  I'll be watching you

  Every single day
  Every word you say
  Every game you play
  Every night you'll stay
  I'll be watching you

  Oh, can't you see
  You belong to me
  How my poor heart aches
  With every step you take

  Every move you make
  Every vow you break
  Every smile you fake
  Every claim you stake
  I'll be watching you

  Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
  I dream at night I can only see your face
  I look around but it's you I can't replace
  I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
  I keep crying baby, baby please

  Oh, can't you see
  You belong to me
  How my poor heart aches
  With every step you take

  Every move you'll make
  Every vow you'll break
  Every smile you fake
  Every claim you'll stake
  I'll be watching you

  Every move you make
  Every step you'll take
  I'll be watching you

  I'll be watching you

[Extraneous personal drivel dashed]

Saved

I opened my eyes,
barely alive, without you.
Feeling no pain, I'm not the same without you.

Save me! Save me!

Watching you watching
me from afar, I'm... drowning. Feeling as though
we've been here before. Know what I mean?

There's a river in your eyes and I'm swept away
Breaking inside out, promising to stay
Together again, a lifetime stranded apart

Save me! Save me!

Watching you watching
me from afar, I'm... reeling. Feeling as though
we've been here before. Know what I mean?

But your river calls to me and I'm swept away.
Breaking inside out, promising to stay
Together again, a lifetime stranded apart

Save me! Save me!

[QuirkyCarla]

Wow, you've had a really interesting life, DirtDawg.

I liked the lyrics to that song.

[DirtDawg]

Wow, you've had a really interesting life, DirtDawg.

I liked the lyrics to that song.

Yeah, music can be crazy.
What's really interesting is that, up until my kids were born, I lived my WHOLE life making decent money and living like I was on vacation, answering to no one and doing what ever I wanted, for the most part.

It didn't always work out the way I wanted, but I came pretty close to achieving total freedom.

In a purple vision
Many thousand years ago
I saw the silent stranger
Walk the earth alone

Twenty-seven faces
With their eyes turned to the sky
I've got a camera
And an airtight alibi

I know they're out there
We see them coming
Faster than the speed of light
They greet us in the dead of the night

Somewhere, someday, someone
They'll be light and sound
They'll alight on the ground
On which we stand

Somewhere, someday, someone
Will help us to survive
They're gonna show us hell
And bring us back alive

Well, I'm no poet, but I can't be fooled
The lies don't count, the whispers do
I hear the whispers on the wind
They say the earth has fallen due

We run in circles
Our days are numbered
Every night I look away
To the heavens and I pray

Come to us
Come to us

Our lights are dim
Our roads are crumbling
And we don't know what to do
We're sick and tired
And dying to meet you
'Cause we bit off more than
We can chew

[DirtDawg]

Buck Dharma is such a great player. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten more recognition in his career.

that's rad.

i look up at the sky every night and wait for the aliens.

[DirtDawg]

They actually have several songs touching on this same theme. Kind of makes it hard for most people to take them seriously, I believe. I love the music, though.

[Calandale]

A lot of alien stuff, and a lot of fantasy stuff.
Really spoke to me. Found it a lot easier to
deal with than whining about some lost love.

Though, some bands could manage THAT well too.

[SovaNu]

people don't believe in aliens for one reason. they are being brainwashed from birth not to believe. anyone who believes is ridiculed for even entertaining the possibility.

JAMC - Taste of Cindy

Crack of dawn
Cindys movin on
Talking cindy to everyone
Til shes had her fun

She has me
We twist the sun and sea
Still shes talking to everyone
Cindys had her fun

Though Ive heard it before
Still I need you more and more
But I just cant get away
Cindy kills me every day

And I tried and I tried
But you looked right through me
Knife to my head when she talks so sweetly
Knife in my head when I think of cindy
Knife in my head is the taste of cindy

Celldweller - I Believe You

This is my excuse to testify
been a beaten down boy
And I don't know why
that's alright, that's alright

Well the truth was a lie and I don't know
How it got me to follow
and it's true that the lie
that was sold me will never let me go

What I needed you to say
was hidden far away
This is why I've had to justify,
My head is shaken, yeah
but that's alright
What I needed to believe
was hidden far from me
That's alright cause I believe you

Take advantage of a malleable mind
been a weakened sucker boy without a spine
that's alright, that's alright

Tell me that I've got to fight your fights,
and now I'm a bleeding boy without a life
but that's alright, that's alright

Don't feel bad because I won't cry
I'll do your will and not ask why,
But that's alright because I believe you
