Lilly and McCoy were shy of a hundred and forty pounds. In 1842 they went a hundred and eighteen rounds. They begged McCoy to cash it in, he said that he would not. Got up and fought one more round then died right on the spot. He knew the game of fisticuffs, he knew the game of fight . But no one knew the game would come and take his life that night.

I held her close I kissed her - our last kiss, I found the love that I knew I had missed. Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight, I lost my love, my life that night.

I watch you grow I watch you work You work like a dog until your feet hurt Still got time to hold me When my heart don’t work You hold me close I feel at home We come and go but we’re not alone We’re the lucky ones

And she don't know she's beautiful (Never crossed her mind) She don't know she's beautiful (No she's not that kind) She don't know she's beautiful (though time and time i've told her so)
Mornin' comes and her hairs all a mess, thats when she thinks she looks the worst. It's times like this she don't know why, I can't take my eyes off her.

How could it be that you must leave To live in a world without me? And how could it be that I must say goodbye and fade in your memory? And how can I stand to let you leave?

You spend all your time waiting for that second chance For a break that will make it okay There's always some reason to feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day You need some distraction Oh, beautiful release Memories seep through my veins Let me be empty Oh, waitless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight In the arms of an angel, fly away from here

Angels, answer me, are you near if rain should fall? Am I to believe you will rise to calm the storm? For so great a treasure words will never do. Surely, if this is, promises are mine to give you. mine to give...
Here, all too soon the day! Wish the moon to fall and alter tomorrow. I should know heaven has her way - each one given memories to own.
Angeles, all could be should you move both earth and sea Angeles, I could feel all those dark clouds disappearing...

But you tore a hole in space Like a dark star, falls from grace You burn across the sky And I would find you wings to fly And I would catch you I would catch your fall

And I'll be on the other end To hear you when you call Angel, you were born to fly And if you get too high I'll catch you when you fall I'll catch you when you fall
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings I know the sky is calling Angel, let me help you with your wings
When you're soarin' through the air I'll be your solid ground Take every chance you dare I'll still be there When you come back down

Do I murder us putting pavement in my veins Shooting it in, special heroin for the seeking and displaced But tension is to be loved When it is like a passing note to a beautiful, beautiful chord

This is the story of how we begin to remember This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein After the dream of falling and calling your name out These are the roots of rhythm And the roots of rhythm remain

I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name ’cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain

Off the couch Across the floor Dog is waddling out the door Feels the sun reflecting in his fur As he relieves himself in the tall grass Connected to the earth and the sky By the vibrations of the Almighty In the elevations through Nature's bliss We could be connected just like this

How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father too bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry

It's the sinnin' world, giving me the horror Mindless alterations of the natural way Its cold in there and I would just as soon Rarely visit Some where dawn's a breaking, On a brighter day In another world

What you gonna do when you get out of jail? I'm gonna have some fun What do you consider fun? Fun, natural fun
I'm in heaven With my boyfriend My laughing boyfriend There's no beginning and there is no end Time isn't present in that dimension He'll take my arm When we're walking Rolling and rocking It's one time I'm glad I'm not a man Feels like I'm dreaming but I'm not sleeping

Time like a river, A river of gold Flows through the ages, Life it unfolds These are the loved ones I've been lucky to have found I rest my case as I stand With both feet on the ground

Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you. Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you.

Once they tried to steal my heart, beat it right outta my head But baby they didn't know that I was born dead I am the Ice MAN, fightin' for the right to live I say better than the glory roads of heaven, better off ridin' Hellbound in the dirt, better than the bright lines of the freeway Better than the shadows of your daddy's church Better than the waiting, baby better off is the search
