If I could hold you tonight I might never let go If I could hold you tonight I might never let go If I could hold you tonight I might never, no never, let go
I like the way you dance, I like the way you paint your lips If I had a chance to be with you, I wouldn't slip So hey what do you say, you see a thing or two in me? Then let's be on our way, we don't need no other company

Squint your eyes and look closer I'm not between you and your ambition, I am a poster girl with no poster, I am 32 flavors, and then some.
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision so you might wanna turn your head, 'cause someday you're gonna get hungry and eat all of the words that you just said.

We were born with our eyes wide open So alive with wild hope Now can you tell me why Time after time They drag you down Down in the darkness deep Fools in their madness all around Know that the light don't sleep

One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.

Hello darkness my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence.

A life just begun, my sleeping new son, has eyes that roll back in his head. They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart, and pictures a world past his bed. It's hard to believe, as I watch you breathe, your mind drifts and weaves, when you dream.

People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one We've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son He will be like you and me, free as a dove Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above
Even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with ya honey Everything will bring a chain of love In the mornin' when I rise Bring a tear of joy to my eyes And tell me everything's gonna be all right

The breath of the morning I keep forgetting the smell of the warm summer air I live in a town where you can't smell a thing You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement Up above aliens hover making home movies for the folks back home Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets They're all uptight, uptight, uptight, uptight

I still believe in paradise but now at least I know it's not some place you can look for cause it's not where you go it's how you feel for a moment in your life and if you find that moment it lasts forever

If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger, You know in the end, I'll always be there. But when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger, Take a look all around, and I'll be there.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me, I promise you, I promise you I will.

When I call you up Your line's engaged I have had enough So after each (...that can't be right...) We have lost the time That was so hard to find And I will lose my mind If you won't see me.

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs. I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there. Over my shoulder a piano falls and crashes to the ground. I'm breaking through. I'm bending spoons. I'm keeping flowers in full bloom. I'm looking for answers from the great beyond.

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty, Sound of their breath fades with the light. I think about the loveless fascination, Under the Milky Way tonight.
Lower the curtain down in Memphis, Lower the curtain down all right. I got no time for private consultation, Under the Milky Way tonight.

Now the people cry and the people moan And they look for a dry place to call their home And try to find some place to rest their bones While the angels and the devils Fight to claim them for their own

Well, you can stake that claim -- Good work is the key to good fortune Winners take that praise Losers seldom take that blame If they don't take that game And sometimes the winner takes nothing We draw our own designs But fortune has to make that frame
We go out in the world and take our chances Fate is just the weight of circumstances That's the way that lady luck dances Roll the bones
Why are we here? Because we're here Roll the bones Why does it happen? Because it happens Roll the bones

I like a prizefight that isn't a fake I love the rowing on Central Park Lake I go to opera and stay wide awake, That's why the *lady* is a tramp

I'm here, and I'm standing tall But I feel so goddam hollow Your ways engrave my brain, I follow My lips are sown up tight to stop the words I'll tell you My life, this time I feel torn inside I wanna take my fist and crush your perfect face I will one day, I will unmute the pain And then you'll see what you've made...and hate
Why did you beat me down? Why did you leave me here? Why did you push me away? You taught me how to fear

She said "You never visit the countryside" "So I've made you a country to order" She put up a little tent in the bedroom Crickets played on a tape-recorder The ceiling was festooned with phosphorous stars She noticed his skin turning cold Burning all his clothes on the bonfire "Relax" she whispered and tightened the blindfold

I listen to the wind to the wind of my soul Where I'll end up well I think, only God really knows I've sat upon the setting sun But never, never never never I never wanted water once No, never, never, never

Georgie grew to hate her name It sounded like a tiny man And the one she had said "I can't see you, but I'll call you whenever I can" Sometimes the phone would ring, when she was half-asleep A voice would drag her down with its suggestions Though she often felt cheated, she never felt cheap

Who's gonna tell you when It's too late? Who's gonna tell you things Aren't so great? You can't go on Thinking nothing's wrong. Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

It's too late baby, now it's too late, Though we really did try to make it. Something inside has died and I can't hide and I just can't fake it.

In game-show purgatory we're all just dying for a laugh: watch your boy practice presidential looks, top of his class.
What's darker, streets or airwaves pregnant with rumors of reward? If you're terminally bored, fall in behind the motorcade and lock your doors.
Mother Money, your dreams came true today.
Slaughterhouse country offers up her favorite son. Who cares why anything gets done? Get something done!
A moral jerrymander? I could have laughed 'til I was sore, but I'm too busy bracing for the dark side of the holiday they're saving for.
Mother Money, your dreams came true today.
United we stand for unity. Believe in believability. Don't touch the machinery, and don't lean on the scenery.
Get used to waiting if what you're after's laughing last. At least here laughter's endlessly broadcast. Forget what you see: all masks behind the masks behind the masks for Mother Money.
