Diane Diane I don't say it but I know you know The theme returns so deep And visits us in sleep To define the you and I as we So we pass the time and occupy our minds And close our eyes and hope that we'll be fine Diane Diane We'll make it out together We'll make it out together We'll make it out We'll make it out And I may leave in time you'll see I'll come right back for you For you And I may leave in time you'll see I'll come right back for you For you top CAREFUL And you walked out when I ask you to stay As usual you will get your way You closed the door and stumbled down to the street Where you wring your hands And you drag your feet Where the words can't find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes But you can't hide standing under these stars Know everything and know where you are You're in your head you're all turned around with it And they're shining down their light to bring you back again Back where I can find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes All you want to see is make believe It's nothing But way down underneath I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful you don't hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes top AMSTERDAM I threw away your greatest hits You left them here the day you split Your bass guitar and Shaggs CD Well they don't mean that much to me right now I'm going through your things These days, I'm changing all my strings I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I wanna see your reaction I wanna see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam? You won't get too far from me Believing everything you read You're wasted in the great unknown And I am getting ready to dispose Of all your vintage clothes Your drugs and every secret code I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I wanna see your reaction I wanna see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam? From your red balloon you were A super high tech jet fighter Floating over planet earth Come back down here I'll show you where it hurts Take this bitter pill Is it easy to swallow? I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I wanna see your reaction I wanna see how it looks From way up on your cloud You're never coming down Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam? Amsterdam top BACKYARD In the backyard In the garden You were always there Digging down where roots Would burrow underneath Now the grass is always overgrown And the weeds are choking out the sun Pretty soon they'll come under the door And you don't care In the backyard Since last summer Almost nothing left Just some pieces of the roots that once dug in Now the grass is always overgrown And the weeds are choking out the sun Why do you still come home anymore When you don't care? top HOMECOMING KING On your way to the best years of your life Everyone's banging on their gongs The sooner you leave the sooner You're home Back in Massachusetts To your golden age where they tuck you in at night You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? Cause this time you're not homecoming king Did you hear that? Have you heard that sound before? Do you even know where it is coming from? It's getting too loud it keeps on pushing you out Into the arms of 1994 You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? Cause this time you're not homecoming king You're not homecoming king You stand on your own Wasn't what you hoped at all Do you still recall it Giving dead-arms in the hall? Stay right where you are You'll be half of who you were When you always would win So count the days 'til you give in Back to Massachusets To your golden age where your crown is shining bright You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? Cause this time you're not homecoming king You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? Cause this time you're not homecoming king You're not homecoming king top RAMONA Ramona where have you been? I couldn't go to sleep till you came in Ramona you're Miss Oklahoma and you Miss Oklahoma I'll get you what you want Cause there were days when a refrain Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane When you would sing that song for me Just like your favorite singer Why'd you have to be so nice? A wink and a girlie smile And why'd you have to punch my eye? That was something But did you want me to stay? When I was younger and thought of myself I never dreamed I'd become like this A snap of your fingers an end to the arguments Anything for you, Love Cause there were days when a refrain Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane When you would sing that song for me The only one you know But I know now, not at the start We're going to pieces we're falling apart So come and sing that song for me Just like your favorite singer top JESUS ON THE RADIO 5 a.m., March 16 Jesus on the radio You took a photograph of me On your yellow bucket seat It's too high it's too wide You're so low you don't know To get through to go around So don't look back There ain't nothing there to see Once was like you Can't say I recognize that face In the picture that you keep It's too high it's too wide You're so low you don't know To get through to go around To get through to go around top KEEP IT TOGETHER When we all had finally washed ashore It was clear there was no one else around We declared a national holiday A chance to build it from the ground The ground So far away from everyone And everything starts today Let's keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today Can we rise? Can we get along all right? Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in? And the boats went out at night And the choppers in the sky They searched but they could find no trace of us So far away from everyone And everything starts today Let's keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today The thunder struck the clouds appeared Our fearless crew was not prepared And pretty soon the boats came for us Half a million strong We gathered arms we fired shells We built a wall around ourselves And pretty soon the spirit was a lot like What it used to be back home So far away from everyone And everything starts today Let's keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today Let's keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today top COME DOWNSTAIRS AND SAY HELLO Dorothy moves to click her ruby shoes Right in tune with Dark Side of the Moon Someone someone could tell me Where I belong Be calm be brave it will be okay No more messing around and living underground And New Year’s resolutions By this time next year I won’t be here I turn on turn on MTV the volume’s down Lips move they say It will be okay To tell you the truth I’ve said it before Tomorrow I start in a new direction One last time these words from me I’m never saying them again And I shut the light And listen as my watch unwinds To tell you the truth I’ve said it before Tomorrow I start in a new direction I know I’ve been half-asleep I’m never doing that again I look straight at what’s coming ahead And soon it’s going to change in a new direction Every night as I’m falling asleep These words repeated in my head Voices calling from a yellow road To come downstairs and say hello Don’t be shy just say hello To tell you the truth I’ve said it before Tomorrow I start in a new direction I know I’ve been half-asleep I’m never doing that again I look straight at what’s coming ahead And soon it’s going to change in a new direction Every night as I’m falling asleep Those words repeated in my head top RED OYSTER CULT Doesn't it bring you down So many lights and sounds Call your mom on the telephone Tell her you're coming home Tell her there's not a chance You're ever gonna change the world If you wanna be free take a sip of this tea Join the Red Oyster Cult If you drink the whole cup you will never grow up You will never grow old Remember when you were 14 You'd paint every picture so green Call your mom on the telephone Tell her your muse is gone Tell her there is not a chance Your're ever gonna change the world Just a few drops away you'll never want to change the world If you want to be free take a sip of this tea Join the Red Oyster Cult If you drink the whole cup you will never grow up You will never grow old Call your mom on the telephone Tell her you're coming home Tell her there's not a chance you're ever gonna change the world Just a few drops away You'll never have to change top LONG WAY DOWN Dreamt I was dead sleeping in your bed Floated up from the ground and looked down Then finally I could see completely Heard the angels' song I know what you are I could never tell They sang what you are This far away you're a minature to me Are you sorry you almost dissappeared Now I know what you are I could never tell They sang what you are Now the notes are fading and everything is turned around And I can't help but think it It's a long way down All the lights are changing and everything is turned around I can't help but thinking It's a long way down And I know what you are I could never tell They sang what you are And I know what you are I could never tell Know what you are top I HOPE TOMORROW IS LIKE TODAY I'm awake you're still sleeping The sun will rise like yesterday Everything that we are now Is everything we can't let go Or it's gone forever far away I hope tomorrow is like today Like today Don't you go away tomorrow I don't think I could handle that You're probably dreaming that you're flying on then You start to fall Then you rise And shine forever Don't go away I hope tomorrow is like today I hope tomorrow is like today Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na na Like today Na na na na na na na na Like today Na na na na na na na na na na Like today I hope tomorrow is like today (3x) Like today top TWO AT A TIME Once upon a time For the Lord, the skies they parted So a few must die To bring us back to where we started Two at a time, two at a time Two at a time, two at a time Do what you're told Each and every kind Were gathered on this tiny boat The future of the world For those that drowned It made no sense They should have known Because we told them so Two at a time, two at a time Two at a time, two at a time Do what you're told I could see the rains a-comin' To wash away the filth and vermin Hand in hand we'll watch them runnin' Home Now it's summertime Long ago, the skies they parted So a few have died To bring us back to where we started Two at a time, two at a time Two at a time, two at a time Do what you're told top |
