Screaming

Wrong It was a confluence of calamities  A perfect storm of idiocy  Most of that - all mine Wrong place wrong time  Wrong situation  Wrong wrong wrong  All the way down the line I mustn't fly and I mustn’t kneel  I gotta stay on an even keel  Keep my brain cells firing in line Wrong place wrong time  Wrong situation  Wrong wrong wrong  All the way down the line Say hello to Dr Jekyll Say hello to Mr Hyde  Not sure which one you’re going to find Stay away from the poison man  Stay away from the poison  That stuff could kill you - DEAD Was there something in the footsteps  Something brewing in the night  A certain kind of destiny  No man could fight The city has her secrets  She has her memories  The city's got her justice  Dealt out on the streets They were talking in some ancient tongue  Wondering what good they'd done  Thinking maybe they’d been kind of fooled  All along Say hello to Dr Jekyll Say hello to Mr Hyde  Not sure which one you’re going to find Stay away from the poison man  Stay away from the poison  That stuff could kill you - DEAD Here’s To The Love Here’s to the love Here’s to the love you’ve got Shine it Shine it Shine it all around the world I see dark streets I feel the eyes I know the greed and I know the lies I watch the blind ambition As the mighty constellations Go screaming across the sky There’s a faraway war on the radio But it started just down the street I’m sure I’m just as guilty as All the people that I never want to meet Here’s to the love Here’s to the love you’ve got Shine it Shine it Shine it all around the world I see red leaves I see green I know the future And I know the past I see the beauty I feel the pain If you wait long enough Nothing’s gonna last And I heard a song on the radio He was singing about Blueberry Hill If time is an ocean There sure is enough of it to kill Yeah I heard a song on the radio They were singing about Scarborough Fair Inside a million dreams I’ll be waiting for you there Here’s to the love Here’s to the love you’ve got Shine it Shine it Shine it all around the world When I Look At You I try not to get too down Or too excited anymore Gotta stay half way Between the ceiling and the floor But when I look at you When I look at you I’ve got all I need to get me through I’ve been watching the birds on the river I’ve seen them trying to survive I’ve given up on wondering What this crazy world’s gonna deliver Given up asking why But when I look at you When I look at you I’ve got all I need to get me through Wide Blue Ocean Now I’m in charge I’m gonna lay down the law It won’t be anything Like it was before There’ll be no more love And everything that you hate Will be subject to approval Sanctioned by the state I’m gonna run To the land of the midnight sun Watch wild colors dancing in the sky My head too full to be asking why Why Why I’ll be transfixed I’ll be spellbound I may not even notice You’re no longer around Now I’m in the ditch Losing blood Vainly seeking assistance From somewhere above I wanna fly Way up in the sky I wanna fly High high high Over the wide blue ocean Into your arms Now I’ve got a plan I won’t be blown off course By a vortex of vicissitudes Or a mercenary war I’m gonna live and die by the sword I’ve got mine I’ll take yours I’m gonna fly Way up in the sky I’m gonna fly High high high Over the wide blue ocean Into your arms When The Devil Has His Day You took my right You took my wrong I told some lies I wrote some songs And I kiss your lips from a thousand miles away I won’t be dancing on anybody’s grave But when the devil has his day You better not get in his way I could see the evil in your eyes I was too young too dumb to realize But if I’d have got some good advice Would I have listened anyway You took my rough You took my smooth I gave my love All to you I bless your eyes from a thousand miles away I won’t be dancing on anybody’s grave But when the devil has his day You better not get in his way I’m just trying to fix this broken mind of mine With long walks and sunsets And good old-fashioned time You took my right You took my wrong I told some lies I wrote some songs You know this mystery could be divine Not sure I’ll ever be some way inclined But I’m open To suggestions Now you’re out of touch You’re out of time You had your day And now it’s mine You can tell your lies from a thousand miles away They won’t be bothering me in any kind of way Cos when the devil has his day I know that I’ll be far away Breathe Close your eyes and breathe  No one could ever tell you what you should believe Somehow somewhere someday  You might find  Some kind  Of happy place With life and death side by side In some little corner of this crazy ephemeral paradise Close your eyes and breathe I don't have any answers if the question is why  I guess the day you stop learning is the day that you die  And if you stop learning and you're still alive  Maybe you die just a little inside Somehow somewhere someday Close your eyes and breathe   Through The Cracks In The Pavement She took the boat into the dark dark sea  Just to get away from me  She said, I won't pay for your mistakes  Anymore  I refuse to drown in the consequences  Of all your foolish ways From today  Born again  All your lights are green  Regrets are just a dream  I'm sorry  For all the stupid things that I've done  I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry  But I'm not looking for forgiveness If I was that way inclined  Could I go to a confession to ease my troubled mind  Would it really be that simple  To unload the burden  And get into heaven through the back door Monkey had to go  Struck out on his own  Through the cracks in the pavement Drama Drama drama Had enough of all that Why you always poking me Provoking me Won’t you let me be Let me be There’s a storm raging On the ocean It ain’t exactly calm Here on dry land There’s a storm raging On the ocean There’s a fire in my heart Tonight We Visit And We Leave We visit and we leave Our time here is all too brief We visit and we leave We say hello and we say goodbye We watch the seasons pass us by We hear the sounds and we see the sights We taste the fruits and we drink the vines We get consumed by love and hate We find it hard to wait We realize and we regret The things we worked for And the things we didn’t get We visit and we leave We visit and we leave If we’re loved we may be grieved Or we may just be and then be not Unnoticed left to rot As in life so in death No one cared enough to check We visit and we leave We visit and we leave Our time here is all too brief We visit and we leave We visit and we leave Welcome To The Darkness Welcome to the darkness  Hope you brought your memories of the sun  It's cold here in the darkness  Now that all the light has gone I don't wanna wait no more in the darkness  Gotta find my way to the sun  No one left to blame for all my cold cold blood  I used to love everyone Down here On these mean streets  Where the good will not survive  Where the evil thrives Now There is no justice  Everybody's on the make  Everybody's on the take I don't wanna wait no more in the darkness  Gotta find my way to the sun  No one left to blame for all my cold cold blood  I used to love everyone No Accounting For Stupid No accounting for stupid No accounting for stupid As the sun goes down No accounting for stupid As the world turns round No accounting for stupid As the sun goes down No accounting for stupid As the world turns around There you are Gotta look to the future There’s nothing else that we can do Someone’s got to be there for the 3:43 Someone’s got to be there It could be me There you are Can’t see the sacred For the color of your lies Can’t see the sacred Starlight Starlight - Filling the sky Your love so far away Starlight - Oh what a sight You’re not with me today I reach out for you now And we touch We touch somehow On this starry night On this starry night City streets Everything moves so fast When you’re not with me Time just seems to pass so slowly I reach out for you now And we touch We touch somehow On these city streets On these city streets Starlight - Filling the sky Your love so far away Starlight - Oh what a sight You’re not with me today I reach out for you now And we touch We touch somehow On this starry night On this starry night Be My Love Come with me Walking in the mountains Come with me Let’s go swimming in the sea Be my friend through millennia Be my love Through the tears And with the laughter I will listen While you talk Be my friend through millennia Be my love When the sky Captures all your senses Know that I Surrendered just the same Be my friend through millennia Be my love On the Night that I Died On the night that I died I took my first drink at a quarter to five On the night that I died On the night that I died I was listening to John Prine Singing Lake Marie He was holding a big guitar Shining like a star Shining like a star On the night that I died I was thinking about the oceans The stars in the sky The Earth and the trees The birds and the bees And the warmth of the ones I love On the night that I died On the night that I died I had a feeling of eternal gratitude Just for knowing you And I said Before I get out of here Bring me one Irish one bourbon and one beer Give me just a taste of this sweet sweet life One more time On the night that I died I know that I cried Tears of sadness and tears of joy On the night that I died I’m sure that I smiled Thinking about the journey On the night that I died On the night that I died Something Special I don’t know a thing about music But I like the sound of a single string I don’t know no DNA How things are made All the numbers that you gave them But god knows you’re something special I know you’re something special To me I don’t know a thing about nature But I see diamonds in the snow I watch the clouds passing by I don’t care how they fly But god knows they’re something special I know they’re something special To me From the mountains to the plains In every heart where love remains Don’t know if it’s worth dying for But I know that it’s worth fighting for Like a thief in the night You won’t notice til it’s gone A silent assassin You won’t hear it come Every flood Starts with a single raindrop The drip drip drip of good intentions Til you wash it all away I don’t know a thing about freedom I take it for granted every day But I know it’s forged in blood The wasted seeds of the ones we loved And god knows it’s something special I know it’s something special To me From the mountains to the plains In every heart where love remains Don’t know if it’s worth dying for But I know that it’s worth fighting for Like a thief in the night You won’t notice til it’s gone A silent assassin You won’t hear it come Every flood Starts with a single raindrop The drip drip drip of good intentions Til you wash it all away I don’t know a thing about music But I like the sound of a single string All lyrics written by A.J.
