Not the One

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

Dancing with the Devil
04:25
|
|||
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
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

In Between You
03:48
|
|||
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

Last Train to Georgia
04:05
|
|||
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

Holiness is gone
05:13
|
|||
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
