I want my tears back

The treetops, the chimneys...
the snowbed stories, winter grey.
Wildflowers, those meadows of heaven
wind in the wheat

A railroad across waters...
the scent of grandfatherly love
Blue bayous, Decembers
moon through a dragonfly's wings

Where is the wonder, where's the awe?
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there?
Where the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare?

Where is the wonder where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me

I want my tears back
I want my tears back now

A ballet on a grove...
still growing young all alone
A rag doll, a best friend...
the voice of Mary Costa

Where is the wonder where's the awe?
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there?
Where the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare?

Where is the wonder where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me

Where is the wonder where's the awe?
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there?
Where's the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare?

Where is the wonder where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me
I wish to see
The lost in me

I want my tears back
I want my tears back now

Where is the wonder where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me

The lost in me

I want my tears back
I want my tears back now

A stable place in the scheme was all that you asked for
You find it hard to concentrate through the laughter
Use the height of confidence to break the common ground
Beyond the bad experience, an answer can be found

Typically a few will stop your momentum
With solid focus broken, why would you let them?
Use the height of competence to break the common ground
Beyond the bad experience, vengeance swings around

Why put the gun to your head, if you're already dead?
See me lashing at will, even after the kill
Why put the gun to your head, if you're already dead?

Tragically mistake you for a man
Suddenly the satisfaction stands
Tragically they'll catch you if they can
Suddenly mortality's a scam

A sad attempt at escaping from all disaster
Complications restraining all that comes after
Use the height of confidence to break the common ground
Beyond the bad experience an answer to be found

Why put the gun to your head, if you're already dead?
See me lashing at will, even after the kill
Why put the gun to your head, if you're already dead?

Tragically mistake you for a man
Suddenly the satisfaction stands
Tragically they'll catch you if they can
Suddenly mortality's a scam

I knew a man Bojangles And he danced for you In worn out shoes With silver hair, a ragged shirt And baggy pants, the old soft shoe He jumped so high, he jumped so high Then he lightly touched down

I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was down and out He looked at me to be the eyes of age As he spoke right out He talked of life, he talked of life He laughed, and slapped his leg a step

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles, dance!

He said his name, Bojangles then he danced a lick across the cell He grabbed his pants a better stance Oh, he jumped up high he clicked his heels He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh Hr stood up and shook back his clothes All around

He danced for those at minstrel shows And county fairs Throughout the south He spoke with tears of 15 years How his dog and he traveled about His dog up and died, he up and died After 20 years he still grieves

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles, dance!

He said I dance now At every chance in honky tonks For drinks and tips But most of the time I spend behind these county bars He said I drinks a bit

He shook his head And as he shook his head I heard someone respectfully ask Please

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles, dance!

'F I send for my baby, and she don't come
'F I send for my baby, man, and she don't come
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none

And if she gets unruly, thinks she don't wan' do
And if she gets unruly and thinks she don't wan' do
Take my 32-20, now, and cut her half in two

She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light
She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light
I got a 32-20, got to make the caps alright

If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come
If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none

I'm gonna shoot my pistol, gonna shoot my gatling gun
I'm gonna shoot my pistol, gotta shoot my gatling gun
You made me love you, now your man have come

Ahoh, baby, where you stayed last night
Ahah, baby, where you stayed last night
You got your hair all tangled and you ain't talking right

Her .38 special, boys, it do very well
Her .38 special, boys, it do very well
I got a 32-20 now, and it's a burning

If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come
If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come
All the doctors in Wisconsin sure can't help her none

Hey, hey, baby, where you stayed last night
Hey, hey, baby, where you stayed last night
You didn't come home until the sun was shining bright

Ahoh boy, I just can't take my rest
Ahoh boy, I just can't take my rest
With this 32-20 laying up and down my breast

Maynard always knows best...

Dead as dead can be
My doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
Ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up and face me
Don't play dead 'cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your RIGHT and your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up
(Why can’t you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Maybe you're better off this way (×4)
You're better off this (×2)
Maybe you're better off...

Wake up
(Why can't you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I will walk away and say
You fucking disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way!

Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)
I know that you can hear this
(GO!)
Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)

Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(GO!)

You fucking disappoint me...

Been through the storm, through the cold and rain Everything's still the same Can't control how I feel Sometimes it's hard to keep it real You see the luxuries in life, with the fortune and fame Like them Cadillacs with sunroofs mayne So many ways to make a dollar Huh, sometimes I think about my father You see my poppa was broke, and my momma was young Tryin to blend in with them city folk Every day landlord knockin down my do' Wonderin where my next blessing is comin from

Everything is good
And brown
I'm here again
With a sunshine smile upon my face
My friends are close at hand
And all my inhibitions have desappeared without a trace
I'm glad
I found
Somebody I can rely on

In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street

Realized I can never win
Sometimes I feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin
My mind is laughing at me
Tell me why am I to blame
Aren't we suppose to be the same
That's why I will never tame
This thing that's burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Sometimes I can never tell
If I've got something after me
That's why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me
Tell me why am I to blame
Aren't we suppose to be the same
That's why I will never tame
This thing that's burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Betrayed
I feel so enslaved
I really Tried
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Oh God, the anger's changing me

Aw, yeah, drop the beats

In the planet of the Earth I am the most famous person of the world.
Everybody knows who I am, even the people who don't know who I am.
Because...

I am very super-famous, super-famous, super-famous (BITCH!)
Very super-famous, a lot of people know I exist
I am very super-famous, super-famous, super-famous (BITCH!)
Very super-famous
You are not, so you are shit.

All around the world, people know who I am
Even in the Chinese countries like Japan
North, South, East, West, to East
I make their panties wet like basements in New Orleans

In the France language, girls say, "Montre-moi tes génitaux!"
Spanish girls also say things, but I don't know 
What they're talking about 'cause I don't speak Spanish at all
But they're probably talking about how my penis is super not-small

I led the Vaginist Revolution in Russia
They call me the Cockadile Hunter in Australia
Wait, that sounds like I hunt penises... I don't, I do chicks
In Iraq they found WMD's...
Women on My Dick

I'm Osama Bin-Semen, the vaginal terrorist
On 69/11, I took down two chicks
And a third girl inexplicably collapsed on her own
Sorry, I just watched "Loose for Change," the pornspiracy video

German girls devour my franksquirter in Germany
I raise my rod in Egypt and I split the Red Sea
By that, I mean I had sex with a girl on her period, that's right
I don't mind ketchup on my hotdog as long as the bun is tight

In England, the girls ask me to be or not to be
The person who will take their anal virginity
I always do, but I still make sure to use a condom
'Cause my sperm's so famous it could make you pregnant in your bum

I am very super-famous, super-famous, super-famous (BITCH!)
Very super-famous, a lot of people know I exist
I am very super-famous, super-famous, super-famous (BITCH!)
Very super-famous
You are not, so you are shit

If a lot of people know who you are, it means you're a talented artist
In order to be super-famous, you have to be the most smartest
When I'm on the red carpets or at celebrity parties
Fat ki.ds are on my dick like hot bitches on Smarties

More people know me than there are people on the Earth
In all the thousands of countries people are singin' my words
Even in the countries where people die 'cause they're so poor
They save up to buy my album instead of going to the grocery store

'Cause I'm more famous than food... that's right, you heard me
More people know me than there are people who know how to eat
I'm more famous than mountains
I'm more famous than watches
And if you wanna hang with me, make sure your panties are crotchless

I'm like Lee Harvey Oswald, I shoot really fast
All over your face until your head flies back
Back, back and to the left
Back, back and to the left
For your safety, wear a helmet and a semen-proof vest

Yeah, the Eiffel Tower is a lot like my dick
It's big and it stings when soap gets inside the tip
My sex moves are like the movie "Die Hard With A Vengeance"
They're awesome...and Jeremy Irons is a good bad guy

I am very super-famous, super-famous, super-famous (BITCH!)
Very super-famous, a lot of people know I exist
I am very super-famous, super-famous, super-famous (BITCH!)
Very super-famous
You are not, so you are shit

The girls up North wanna get all up in my butt
'Cause even though I'm Canadian, I'm more famous than Canada
I'll light a dick-fire to warm up your cold vagina-hands
Then I'll cover you in white like the Klu-Klux Klan
All the Mexicans love me down in South America
From Colombia to Brazil all the way to Algeria

I'm Che Vagina, I liberate girls from oppressive pants
I'm Fidel Asstro, the Dictator of Ass
I'm Sodomy Hussein, the King of Being Hung
I'm Queen Ejizzabeth, I wear a crown of cum
I'm President Hard-as-a-Rock Obama
I'm reforming the health care system--wait, that wasn't sexual...

Proparopzzi follows me every day of my life
I'm like Princess Diana except I am alive
I'm like AIDS, everyone has heard of me
I'm Happiest Inside Vagina
I got HIV

I'm on the cover of magazines
The headline of the newspaper reads
"Hide Your Daughter! MC Vagina's Gonna R.ape Her!"
Whoa, whoa, what? I, I didn't write that
[Sorry, sorry, that was me, my bad]

I am very super-famous, super-famous, super-famous (BITCH!)
Very super-famous, a lot of people know I exist
I am very super-famous, super-famous, super-famous (BITCH!)
Very super-famous
You are not, so you are shit

Aw yeah, fame is like a tree: It helps you get pussy
For all you French ladies out there
"Le feu sur le cheval était brisée
...Bitches."

Pick me up
Been bleeding too long
Right here, right now
I'll stop it some how

I will make it go away
Can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All this shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Shut me off
I am ready
Heart stops
I stand alone
Can't be on my own

I will make it go away
Can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All this shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Am I going to leave this place?
What is it I'm running from?
Is there nothing more to come?
(am I gonna leave this place?)
Is it always black in space?
Am I going to take it's place?
Am I going to leave this race?
(Am I going to leave this race?)
I guess god's up in this place?
What is it that I've become?
Is there something more to come?
(more to come)

Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All this shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man? 

Nobody got the last ones I posted, so I'll post some easier lyrics.

She loves you
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-----------------------------------------------------------

One pill makes you larger,
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you,
Don't do anything at all.

------------------------------------------------------------

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway

When I was a boy,
My big brother held on to my hands,
Then he made me slap my own face.
I looked up to him then, and still do.
He was trying to teach me something.
Now I know what it was!
Now I know what he meant!
Now I know how it is!

One must eat the other
Who runs free before him.
Put them right into his mouth
While fantasizing the beauty of his movements.
A sensation not unlike
Slapping yourself in the face...

Love this thread, Bella

"The language of love slips from my lover's tongue
Cooler than ice-cream and warmer than the sun
Dumb hearts get broken just like china cups
The language of love has left me broken on the rocks..."

She moves abstract just
Like a shadow dancing on the edge
Like a storm cloud passing overhead
Effort-less and free
As the hours rush by
Through her I can sense the end of time
There’s no way this can forever shine
Make the sun not rise

Baby it's yours All yours If you want it tonight I'll give you the red light special All through the night Baby it's yours All yours If you want it tonight Just come through my door Take off my clothes And turn on the red light

Johny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out ****
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skip cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten.

Breathing is the hardest thing to do
With all I've said, and all that's dead for you
You lied...goodbye
Leaving on a southern train
Only yesterday, you lied
Promises are what i seemed to be
Only watched the time go by
All of these things i said to you...

One for Bella

THE LIGHTS ARE ON IN MICHIGAN

Times are tough in Michigan but we've seen hard times before
Like nineteen eighty-two, thirty-six or seventy-four
When the auto plants are shutting down, everybody feels the squeeze
The last one out of Michigan, will you turn the lights off please? ---
That's what the bumper stickers say on the cars a-heading south
Well you gotta do what you gotta do to feed a hungry mouth
But some of us aren't running, we're here to make a stand
Tough old wolverines in this northern stretch of land

The lights are on in Charlevoix and lovely Grand Marais
The lights are on in the Keweenaw and they shine across the bay
The lights are on in Cadillac, Grand Rapids, and in Clare
In summertime the lights still shine on the Jackson County fair --
Hey, they're all lit up in green and white and shades of maize and blue
Nearly every weekend in A-square and MSU
From Pointe aux Barques to Saugatuck, and every other port of call
Menominee to Manistee the lights are standing tall

Now stick your right hand in the air, put your left hand up above
And there you have the outline of the state we dearly love
Now, It takes both hands to make that work and I'll give you all a clue
You put left and right together there ain't nothin' we can't do --
You talk about the rust belt - but I'll tell you how I feel
A little grit and elbow grease takes the rust down to the steel
And when that steel is polished and shining like it's new
Turn around and look - you'll find the lights are on for you.

The lights are on in Evart, where the water tastes like wine
And the lantern lights at deer camp still shine in Engadine
The harbor lights still sparkle on the port of Manistique
And the lights are on for breakfast down in Battle Creek --
The lights are on in Detroit in case you didn't know
And over on the west side - Benton Harbor and St. Joe
The lights are on in Pontiac and down in Highland Park
& when it comes to Flint - that tough old girl still sparks

The northern lights still dance from Ironwood to the Soo
And the teachers burn the midnight oil in Ypsilanti and Kalamazoo
And in many a mother's window you'll find a special light
Shining for her soldier sons and daughters in the fight --
Yeah, we keep the home fires burning every night and every day
From Flat Rock up to Calumet and every town along the way
Yeah, we're not about to give 'er up - we're here to see it through
Yes, the lights are on in Michigan - we'll keep 'em on for you

Shine your light and make it bright - It's up to me and you

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies And I'm not proud of my address In the torn up town, no post code envy


But every song's like: Gold teeth Grey Goose Tripping in the bathroom Bloodstains Ball gowns Trashing the hotel room


We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams


But everybody's like: Crystal Maybach Diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes Islands Tigers on a gold leash


We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair


And we'll never be royals (royals) It don't run in our bl00dThat kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me queen bee And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule Let me live that fantasy


My friends and I we've cracked the code We count our dollars on the train to the party And everyone who knows us knows That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

"Sitting out on the Palm Beach Road. I'm so drunk and the car won't go." Richard Clapton. Deep Water. It's an Aussie Classic.

Something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover.

I read that Frank Sinatra said it was the finest love song written in the last 50 years. He probably knew what he was talking about.

I've been really tryin , baby Tryin to hold back these feelings for so long And if you feel, like I feel baby Come on, oh come on,


We're all sensitive people With so much love to give, understand me sugar Since we got to be Lets say, I love you

There's nothin wrong with me Lovin you--- And givin yourself to me can never be wrong If the love is true

Don't you know how sweet and wonderful, life can be I'm askin you baby, to get it on with me I aint gonna worry, I aint gonna push So come on, come on, come on, come on baby Stop beatin round the bush....
