Not the One 04:16
Sweet Louise, Sweet Louise Must I beg and plead with you? Will you open up your eyes? Take a look around There's a crowd of people walking Down the street and talking I've got a bad feeling about it I've got a bad feeling about it Is there no solution? Is this retribution? Is it any wonder why? Is it any wonder? It's a shame, it's a shame It's a crying shame, brother Is it gonna take all night? Brother will you testify? All my friends and neighbors look at me like a stranger No I'm not the one The TV and the papers crucify me No I'm not the one I'm not the one they're looking for It's a fine line, fiction It's a rosy picture but it's Nothing but a bunch of lies It never could of happened Unforeseen, it's a scene It's a bad dream Is it gonna take all night? Is it gonna take Until the whole world stutters as we Run for cover could be Over under twenty years Draw the shutters maybe Can I get an alibi? Can I get an alibi? All my friends and neighbors look at me like a stranger No I'm not the one The TV and the papers crucify me No I'm not the one I'm not the one they're looking for Alright Alright It's a fine line fiction It's a rosy picture but it's Nothing but a bunch of lies It never could of happened All my friends and neighbors look at me like a stranger No I'm not the one The TV and the papers crucify me No I'm not the one No I'm not the one No I'm not the one

Can't stop the wheels are in motion Can't turn around any last words to say? Take a good look in the mirror Have you got your head on? No regrets and no fears When you're dancing with the devil This starts the whole chain reaction Gonna blow your sorry mind to smithereens Brother, this is no illusion This is not a riddle You are me and I am you when We're dancing with the devil To feel every ounce of emotion To hear all the voices in your head The weak and divine We're dancing through the night The moon is shining bright Your body is a rhythm Nothing but the rhythm Step into the rhythm, c'mon My hands are shaking, my pulse is racing My conscience breaking apart Alarm bells sound as war drums pound To the rhythm of my beating heart I feel it in my chest, I can't catch a breath Never gonna make it alone If it's my time I won't try to fight it May God rest my soul Out of touch, out of control Now things are getting better Never scared never alone When you're dancing with the devil To feel every ounce of emotion To hear all the voices in your head The weak and divine We're dancing through the night The moon is shining bright Your body is a rhythm Nothing but the rhythm Step into the rhythm Your body is a rhythm Nothing but the rhythm Step into the rhythm Step into the rhythm One two we're sweatin' like a summer Three four five we're getting hotter Too hot we melt like butter Then we turn it around for another One two we're sweatin' like a summer Three four five we're getting hotter Too hot we melt like butter Then we turn it around for another we burn We're dancing with the devil again We're dancing with the devil again We're dancing with the devil We're dancing with the devil To feel every ounce of emotion To hear all the voices in your head The weak and divine We're dancing through the night The moon is shining bright Your body is a rhythm Nothing but the rhythm Step into the rhythm Your body is a rhythm Nothing but the rhythm Step into the rhythm Your body is a rhythm Nothing but the rhythm Step into the rhythm Step into the rhythm

Jane 04:41
Jane Everybody's gonna make mistakes Jane Don't say it's over it's not too late You can fly like a bird See the world keep your inhibitions in the pocket of your shirt You can celebrate Or you can dream until it hurts Jane Everybody's gotta find a way Don't wait Don't let the moment go to waste You can dry your tears Make the distant near Make the most of your present situation You can turn the page Or you can remain You're looking at a still life But life is so much more I know some day you will find Everything you're looking for Oh please believe me Don't wait Jane Things are never gonna be the same Jane Don't trade tomorrow for yesterday You can try to change things but Some things are the way they are Like shooting stars like an iron rod is so Hard to bend It's even harder to break Summer faces come and Like the seasons go I know some day you will find Everything you're looking for Oh please believe me Don't wait See the face in the mirror staring back at you with those eyes? Break the spell that has got you so hypnotized, hypnotized Are you too afraid to remember too afraid to remember it well? Look around yourself and you will see there is someone else I'm coming Summer faces come and Like the seasons go I know someday you will find Everything you're looking for Oh please believe me Won't you please believe me Oh please Oh please believe me Don't No don't wait

Forrest Gump 05:02
I like to sleep with the windows open When it's raining outside But why, I don't know why Maybe it's the first time that you can never forget Maybe it's the second that brings everything to a head I still remember the day we met If you're ever lost, alone, abandoned in the pouring rain And you need someone to get you on your feet again When the cold has almost frozen the blood in your veins I will take you home We'll build a fire and dry off And try to fix your broken heart Do you ever wonder how so many days slip by Unnoticed, how so many words Are spoken but never heard? I've heard that lightning is caused by an electric charge I've heard a friend of a friend say you've found somebody new I hope he's good to you If you're ever lost, alone, abandoned in the pouring rain And you need someone to get you on your feet again When the cold has almost frozen the blood in your veins I will take you home We'll build a fire and dry off And try to fix your broken heart It was the year of the flood, 1993 It was a day like no other, or so it did seem And the thunder it shook loose the wedge in between I tried not to look but was caught in a dream The story of mankind is like a bowling pin You knock it down then start again Only this time make amends May every cloud rain down and wash away your tears May every sun illuminate the corners of your sunken eyes May you live before you die If you're ever lost, alone, abandoned in the pouring rain And you need someone to get you on your feet again And when the only consolation is a fast moving train I will take you home We'll build a fire and dry off And try to fix your broken heart I will take you home We'll build a fire and dry off And try to fix your broken heart

Freezer Burn 03:39
I woke up when sirens broke the silence and gasped Word on the street is that money can't buy happiness Sometimes we're full of rage Sometimes we're locked in chains I don't know what is worst or what is best Mission bells rang out in the south of Florida main Blood stains on the sidewalks have yet to be washed away Cement walls and a megaphone Three shots of cortisone I don't know how I'll ever find my way home again I'm freezer burned I'm freezer burned I'm freezer burned I packed up my bags and I hitchhiked across the parking lot Everybody I meet is trying to turn me into something I'm not The streetlights have all lost their minds The meek are trying to stall the ending of time I don't know who will come out on top and who will pay the cost I'm freezer burned I'm freezer burned I'm freezer burned

Nobody ever told me about it I found out for myself You can be anything you want but you can't be somebody else Seek and ye shall find what you are after a one-of-a-kind that's beyond compare But as the years keep a'coming faster You'll see it's everywhere There's a window with a view looking out Over paradise where we all scream and shout Park your car and turn the radio up loud You're talking the whole world is watching I am in between you now It's a guilty pleasure of mine So what if it's against the law? Sometimes we don't know how fine And fortunate we are There's a window with a view looking out Over paradise where we all scream and shout Park your car and turn the radio up loud You're talking the whole world is watching I am in between you now Everyday it's more of the same Another face with a different name Another merry-go-around we go Got a fast car hit the open road Make time disappear like smoke rings Watch 'em in the rear view Carburetor for your mind Slow down get left behind Turn around get in front of it At the gate you've got to pay the toll Top 40 with a little soul Take the money and run Take the money and run You've still got so far to go You've still got so far to go There's a window with a view looking out Over paradise where we all scream and shout Park your car and turn the radio up loud You're talking the whole world is watching I am in between you now

My friends think I'm crazy They said I should never go out walking on the streets alone Not in this kind of weather Not in this kind of place It's too dangerous They say, "did you see the news last night? Two kids on their way home from school No you can't go out there." But I don't care what they say Behind my back or to my face It's ok I'm better off this way My friends think I'm lazy They said I should never be sleeping in past nine Not somebody my age Not someone with a full-time job I might get fired They say, "Have you heard the unemployment line It's growing faster than weeds outside? No you can't go on like this." I don't care what they say Behind my back or to my face It's ok I'm better off this way She lived where she could In my neighborhood She's a rock And even though I could Be misunderstood I'm a knock Tap tap tapping on her front door "Come in, have a seat on the floor It's raining, it's late, and I'm tired What's your desire?" I'm wide awake Everybody shake off your lows I'm wide awake Everybody shake off your lows Shake off your lows Shake off your lows Shake off your lows Shake off your lows Walking back home in the last dead of night A mysterious man, a flickering street light The weight of the world couldn't ruin my flight I'm on my way I don't care what they say Behind my back or to my face I don't care what they say Behind my back or to my face It's ok I'm better off this way

She said no without thinking Turned away for no reason Left me standing in the place where she had stood Mother, can I borrow A bed 'till tomorrow? I'll try to remember the good If I could fly like a sparrow Straight as an arrow I would sail and never come down Because time is a liar A constant reminder When you're stuck with your feet on the ground She's on the last train to Georgia The last train that's leaving town She's on the last train to Georgia The last train that's leaving town And I don't think she'll ever be coming back around Lines on the pavement Houses left vacant A sign reads "for sale, bank owned" Maybe in some other Windfallen summer They'll fix all the cracks in the road There's no place I could be No face I could meet That would ever replace what I've lost If there were some way To go back, to replay I would gladly pay any cost She's on the last train to Georgia The last train that was leaving town She's on the last train to Georgia The last train that was leaving town And I don't think she'll ever be coming back around And I don't think she'll ever be coming back around And I don't think she'll ever be coming back around

I never asked you for forgiveness I never asked you for redemption But now I've lost myself in a world of sadness Feels like my holiness is gone Was I never good enough for you? You think I've been playing you for a fool? Give me one good reason why I should be down on my knees Give me something to believe in My life's an island and the tide is rising If nobody finds me I'll be forced to try something crazy Feels like there's too many hours in the day Tell me how long, how long are you gonna make me wait I've been singing my songs, and I'll keep singing them all night long Until this loneliness is gone Heaven ain't all it's cracked up to be People just sit around up there and talk about how it feels to be free But they can't even spare a dime or a little peace of mind To a brother who's deaf dumb and blind My life's an island and the tide is rising If nobody finds me I'll be forced to try something crazy I've tried everything else and nothing seems to work out right My life's an island and the tide is rising If nobody finds me I'll be forced to try something crazy I've tried everything else and nothing seems to work out right
