Behind My Hands Are Tied

Realize she’s been in bloom
As butterflies around our hearts
Break out of their caccoons
Spring time is about to start
Well the, moon shines, In her eyes
She’s divine that sort of, one and only kind
It aint no lie
For what it’s worth i’d like to try.
There are times when I
Don’t have enough sad songs to write
She made this one right
Behind My Hands Are Tied
Cuz she’s so fine, She’s so fine
If I were too soon
This fire may have not been sparked
We do a tango for two
Stranger at midnight beneath the stars
Well her faith and desire, takes me higher
Burning bright I’d like to see how we’d shine
Her grace is mine, but how on earth
am I her guy
Cuz I’m not
There are times when I
Don’t have enough sad songs to write
She made this one right
Behind My Hands Are Tied
When she spins the wheel
Lets me feel that this is a wonderful life
Love is real (Love is real)
But it don’t reveal what’s yours is paradise
So don’t think twice
Behind My Hands Are Tied
Roll those dice
Behind My Hands Are Tied
Cuz she’s so fine
She’s so fine
And she’s all mine
She’s all mine
Yeah right..
Yeah right..

Gold & Green
03:06

Saw you laughing in the back of a car
The long black taxi's pick you up from the bar
To drive you crazy..
And I can't wait to wake up in a place that i don't recall
Bought her flowers just like you told me
That wont need water, when you're hungover
They'll last forever
But it's far too late to pull myself back together when it's 4 in the morning
Hope you recognize the fact that im a blackout star
And all i see, is Gold & Green
So don't worry about me
I'll just blow off the steam, with a glass of jim beam
Hope you recognize the fact that
Hope you recognize the fact that all i see
Is Gold & Green
Is Gold & Green
So don't worry about me
And all i see
Is Gold & Green
You're all i see until it's 4 in the morning
Till it's 4 in the morning
So don't worry about me
So don't worry about me
So don't worry about me
No don't worry about me
I'll just blow off the steam with a glass of Jim Beam until it's 4 in the morning...

I Had a feeling this is gunna hurt
Like a wound i never had before
It's filling up my heart with dirt
But last night it felt so pure
I was dreaming that im gonna fall
head-first when i know much better
so I've gotta put my foot down
It's alright If You Don't Like Music Anymore
something died cuz all is fair in love and war
its not right, who am I, am I to you as you are me?
You didn't say that we're gunna burn
Like a star that will last forever
And pretty soon my heart will burst
And turn tonight into a million colors
A premonition i foresaw
But you could prove me wrong through this endeavor
However it's hard
If you don't know your worth
Or what you're going through
So far it's a dying art
Cuz your patience is always wasted on the fools
How hard can i make my heart
Cuz it's dangerous to let it be empty
In the darkness without your mercy...
It's alright If You Don't Like Music Anymore
something died cuz all is fair in love and war
its not right, who am I, am I to you as you are me?
It's alright If You Don't Like Music Anymore

Beauty Is Hoping For You

Laura leaves the valley
Searching for a star
That’s been in the making
So good so far
Made it to the ocean
And had to depart
She said please listen
It’s not so hard..
Times change
Moment by moment
So don’t stay
Stuck in the image
That’s ugly
Beauty Is Hoping For You
Love’s a supernova
Burst through the dark
Coming back together
Im my arms
So hold me tender
Like a broken charm
That won’t surrender
An impeccable heart (awe)
And when it’s over
It’s gonna restart
With each other
On and on
On and off
And forgot
In the stars
Times change
Moment by moment
So don’t stay
Stuck in the image
That’s ugly
Beauty Is Hoping For You
Times change
Moment by moment
So don’t stay
Stuck in the image
That’s ugly
Beauty Is Hoping For You
Beauty Is Hoping For You
Beauty Is Hoping For You
Beauty Is Hoping For You
And you’re coming through….

Little Boy Blue

Ghost horse came in looking for a friend
Said hey could he be where you've been
I said sorry lord it appears that I am
I said sorry lord it appears that I am
you're friend...
Small black Raven flew into my door
Broke both his wings and he never left the floor
I said sorry bird at least you can stand
I said sorry bird at least you can dance
Then I heard you howling at the moon
Little boy blue
I seen men that fought in the war
Come back half dead and some a little more
I say sorry man now what are we fighting for?
I say sorry man now what are we fighting for?
Caught white diamonds falling from the sky
Many-a-made of dreams that never came to the light
Don't be sorry now that's now way to live your life
Don't be sorry now that's no way to live your life; that's right
Then I heard you howling at the moon
Little boy blue
Little boy blue

She calls me up when it gets dark
And wants to know how far I'm going
A greyhound bus has stole my heart
No way I'm not mistaken
She Wants To Be My Guitar
Ghost in the pay-phone and every station
Just to see how well that I have been
A shattered star would surely be a sin
No way I'm not mistaken
She Wants To Be My Guitar
I try to run, I try to hide
When I become what she don't like
But what I'm gonna be
When she grabs hold of me
She better prepare for the worst
Just like I've rehearsed
The midnight sun has made it's mark
And takes away my one emotion
And breaks the day just like her heart
No way I'm not mistaken
She Wants To Be My Guitar
No way I'm not mistaken
She Wants To Be My Guitar
No way I'm not mistaken
She Wants To Be My Guitar
But what I'm gonna be...
When she grabs hold of me...
She better prepare for the worst....

Typical Kind Of Guy

Never there when you're here
Never arrive on time
I don't mind, if you're aware
I'm not your Typical Kind Of Guy
Took a walk in the dark
Saw the flowers over-priced
It's your heart, I can't buy
I'm not your Typical Kind Of Guy
I'm doing you wrong when I want to do right
But all i have is lies now to keep you going
When I don't want to be
A liar to me too..
Always first to be burned
Always worse then getting better
It's a curse, that's my life
I'm not your Typical Kind Of Guy
I'm doing you wrong when I want to do right
But all i have is lies now to keep you going
When i don't want to be a liar to me too
Cuz nobody makes me happy, nobody like you
That I cannot lose...
That I cannot lose...
That I cannot lose....

Goodbye Sunday

Sundown evening
The parting of the light
Your worn out body
It's time to say goodnight
And Goodbye Sunday
Everything's all right
Goodbye Sunday
Last call so hurry
This party's gonna die
The bottles empty
Full moon is on the rise
So Goodbye Sunday
Everything's alright
Goodbye Sunday
Ya know I'll miss you
till the end of the week
There's no one with me to keep-
To keep me happy
Get it over with quickly baby please
So Goodbye Sunday.....
You're uptown drinking
Going to the other side
Of blackout memories
The ones that you'd like to keep
So Goodbye Sunday
Everything's alright
Now goodbye Sunday
Cya on the weekend...

Hapless Again
02:46
|
|||
|
He’s got a five star broken heart & a pocket full of change he don’t want
In an open bar, he drinks too hard and winds up in a graveyard to haunt
In a false start, reverse in his actions, he’s just over-reacting again
And he screams out to whoever will listen, when he’s tired of bitching to his friends
They say you’re-
Sick in the head, giving it all to the art of being hapless again, and again and did-
You ever stop, to give it a thought to the odds that you’ve been falling apart
Just like they said
They went on and on and on
Just like they said
They went on and on and on…
There’s a fake face he’d like to erase but it’s coming back on every weekend
In the same way, it’s hard to explain that he like the fight but say that he don’t
Big deal, he’s fucked on first-square if he cant even take care of himself
Sometimes it’s nice to be real if you cant even feel like yourself
They say you’re-
Sick in the head, giving it all to the art of being hapless again, and again and did-
You ever stop, to give it a thought to the odds that you’ve been falling apart
They say you’re-
Sick in the head, giving it all to the art of being hapless again, and again and did-
You ever stop, to give it a thought to the odds that you’ve been falling apart
Now did you give it a thought?
That you’ve been falling apart
Did you give it a thought
That you’ve been falling apart
Just like they said,
They went on and on and on
Just like they said,
They went on and on and on…

Love Is Like Glue
03:12
|
|||
|
Old love is like glue
It gets on me and I can't even move
But for what I know
I suppose I'm just a joke now
That never once stuck by you
It's not that easy to do
Falling in and out of love with you
But for what it's worth
I suppose I'm just a jerk now
That never once stuck by you
You could say that we're through
But I can tell if you're not telling the truth
From the plates that you throw
You just want to be alone
Because we stuck too close
Up-and-down the merry-go-round
We enjoyed it for a while
Throwing rings in the mouth of a clown
And he never once drew a smile
Old love is like glue
It gets on me and I can't even move
But for what I know
I suppose I'm just a ghost now
That never once stuck by you
And either way I'm just a loser
That never once stuck by you
Because your love's like glue

Better Than Before
03:11
|

Have a look at me
Take what you please and go
I'm just a piece of meat
If you don't have enough on your bones
So tell me what you see
I know it's just another photograph
That you've been burning in your sleep
But it keeps on coming back
So you say leave it alone
But i know it's me that you've been burning
Every night all along
You be the beast, I'll be the burden
I won't have it anymore
I've been Better Than Before
Let us have another drink
Of what it was to feel a sweet thing
Everything is but a dream
Reality is just a nightmare
People tell me 'You're a curse'
It works in reverse and what you touch is ruined
This gold is the worst
Getting old, a hint of jaded
Ashes to ashes
A pyre, I'm glad that
You put me on your cross
And I wont call it a loss
I'm just the word that you toss
So you say leave it alone
But i know it's me that you've been burning
Every night all along
You be the beast, I'll be the burden
I won't have it anymore
I've been Better Than Before
And never for you
Nah never for you..
Never for you..
I've been Better Than Before...
Better Than Before..
And never for you...
Never for you...

Crystal Ball
04:07
|

|
Your options are open
Just the way you like them
Behind the path is broken
like a condemned hymn
Take your pick of poison
there's nothing like it
There's no vision and your crystal ball
For all your poor decisions
See there's no vision at all
In your crystal ball
Your words are spoken
without a problem
- The problem, what's the problem?
But I found a way to make
my ears go numb
Without a voice of reason that you'll discredit
There's no vision in your crystal ball
For all you're poor decisions
See there's no vision at all
Left me in a cloud of mayhem
Of growing up and going down
You can have the crown
and be the victim
Of not enough
While you're still around
Now you'll never back out
And you'll never back down
Just caught you're sickness
And I want to protect it
You just missed this bitterness
And I won't forget it
For the treason you commit; enjoy it
There's no vision in your crystal ball
For all your poor decisions
See there's no vision at all
For all your poor decisions
See there's no vision at all
In your crystal ball
See there's no vision at all
In your crystal ball
See there's no vision at all
In your crystal ball..

Big Lie
02:27
|

|
Ive been looking at my life a whole new way
Standing on the sidelines i seem out of place
When you look at me you see
Everything that i want to be
Never perfect so i don't even want to try
I say i feel fine
I feel fine
Standing on the ledge and now im taking the fall
Stepping off the edge i saw the end of it all
Double-think you caught the best of me
All you got was my enemy
The truth
Never perfect so i don't even want to try
I say i feel fine
I feel fine
Cuz it's not my life
It's all one Big Lie
I say i feel fine
I feel fine
Cuz it's not my life
It's all one Big Lie
I say i feel fine
I feel fine...
