I love life but I don't think life loves me. I'll recreate my own reality. The teachers and the preachers, they all lied to me. There's no end to what a kid will believe.
(Shel Silverstein). . I was sitting in my basement I just rolled myself a taste. Of something green and gold and glorious to get me through the day. Then my friend yelled through the transom "Grab your coat and get your hat son.
From sun up to sun down. Decisions make my head spin round. Make me drunk, sick and tired. Keep me up 'til I retire. . And while I could be out bar hopping.
To think that I'm the kind of guy whoever could have kept her. Would be taking too much credit on myself. And seeing us together you just knew. That she'd look better with somebody else.
Your numbers up you have to go. The system say's "I told you so". Stocked in a train like a truckload of cattle. Sent off to slaughter in a useless battle.
(Shel Silverstein). . Your phone's gonna ring in the darkness of night. And you'll rise from the bed where you lay. And you'll answer 'Hello', and from out of the past.
I don't feel much like smilin' today. If nobody minds, I'm gonna let my mind slip away. 'Cause I don't feel much like feelin' your way. . All my dollar bills are turning into nickels and dimes.
I couldn't believe the temptation that came with you. Oh I never knew. I couldn't believe the amazing things that I would do. Oh when it came to you. .
I can't touch the clouds for you, I'll never reach the sun for you. I've never done the things that you need done for you. I stretched as high as I can reach, I guess I'm not the one for you.
(D. Locorriere/P. Overstreet). . Like a little girl in a candy store. You give her some, she wants more. But all she gets is what she asks me for. . 'Cause I can't say no to her, I can't say no.
(Shel Silverstein). . Ever' mornin' won't you you wake up early cook me great big T-bone steak. Serve it to me in bed go on the street and hustle bring me back all the money you make.
Oh, the boardwalk's deserted. There's nobody down by the shore. And the Ferris wheel ride isn't turning around anymore. The heat wave and the crowds are just old news.
Hey, little girl. I hear somebody broke your heart. I hear that he cheated and lied to you. Right from the start. . But it's gonna be all right. Put on your red dress, tonight, yes.
Everybody knows you came with him. But another girl caught his eye (I'll take you home). Now you're sitting there all alone watching them dance by (I'll take you home).
I, I know, oh, yes, I know. That you and I will never meet again. Woah, for you, for you were meant for somebody else. (Somebody else). . Woah, woah, woah, that night, oh, yes, that night.
Na, na, na, na, na, na late at night. Na, na, na, na, na, na late at night. . I have counted everyday that she's been away. It seemed like a thousand years.
Yesterday my lady made me breakfast. Brought upstairs while I was still bed. Smiling too much and telling me she loved me. Usually I'd enjoy this but I'm thinking instead.
You think we're different. That we're worlds apart. I think that we're the same. Deep down, in our hearts. . You think that I'm a fool. Don't know who you are.
I was such. Disconnected. I've had it all. Oh but watched it slip away. When the damage down. Is self-inflicted. It's no surprise to find it all end up the same.
Think we know, oblivious though. Unified clones sit like stones. Upon thrones of fools gold. Looking bold but all alone. . Restore our needed shelter.
