Disappear (acoustic)
03:00
|
|||
|
There are things that you can see, and things that you conceive in your mind.
There are things that you believe, and things that you should leave behind.
I can’t run away, but I can’t stay this way.
When I disappear, you won’t shed a tear.
That’s why I’m crying now and why I’m leaving here.
There are things that need to change,
It’s gonna come with pain, but it’s all right.
There’s a storm inside my head over what I’ve left unsaid—it’s a fight.
I can’t run away, but I can’t stay this way.
When I disappear, you won’t shed a tear.
That’s why I’m crying now and why I’m leaving here.
Any day now, I’ll be gone.

There's a moon in the desert
Painted on the bottom of the sky
Looking down on a man
A little scared and wondering why
Can I find me some peace
If I dream a little harder, or not?
Can you give me all you got?
Gimme all you got
There once was a woman
Filling up all my soul
Where there once was a woman
Now there's just an empty hole
But I believe to my soul
We could change a lot
If you'd give me all you've got
Gimme all you got
Prepared to believe
Never thought my faith could leave
Now I need all you've got
I'm going to the mountain
And I'll be carrying my cross
If I come again, will you shelter me if I'm still lost?
Will you give me all you've got?
Reaching for my faith
Feels like it's slipping away
Now I need all you've got
Gonna dig down deep and give it one more shot
Gimme all you got

If I were you and you were me
Is this how you would like to be?
You can't say that it's all right
If you were me and I were you
Is this what I should do to you?
Do you think that's what you'd like?
I've been waiting so long
Please don't make me crawl
Birdy Deluxe Superstar
I've walked the streets of town all night
And come home with the morning light
I can't face the cold at home
I wake up drunk in afternoon
Dreaming of a honeymoon
I don't want to be alone
I've been dreaming so hard
Please don't let me fall
Birdy Deluxe Superstar
And I can't think of nothing else I want in the world
When I dream of love
Super Birdy Deluxe, you're the girl
If boys were girls and girls were boys
Could we cut out all the noise?
Do we have just what it takes?
If girls were boys and boys were girls
Do you think we could change the world?
Do we learn from our mistakes?

Speak No Hate (acoustic)
02:31
|

|
Tell me, How dies the wise man?
As the fool.
Show me, Where is the man who heeds the rule?
Speak no hate
Wrap your heart around the world
Feed no hate
With your heart you make the world
Do you hear? Do you answer to the call?
Does your faith, like the ocean, rise and fall?
Speak no hate
Wrap your heart around the world
Be no hate
Let your lips not speak the word

I Just Wanna Stay
02:52

Tell my friends that I'm sorry,
I can't go, I'll call them tomorrow
I just want to stay at home with my baby.
I think it's time for us to hibernate
I know we had plans, but I just can't wait to be alone with you, and to do the things we do.
Tell my friends that I'm sorry,
I can't go, I'll call them tomorrow
I just want to stay at home with my baby.
Yes, I do love to see my crew
And I know I can't spend every minute with you
But here's an opportunity to have you here alone with me.
Tell my friends that I'm sorry,
I can't go, I'll call them tomorrow
I just want to stay at home with my baby.
Yes, I told them I was going out, but tonight that's not what I'm about.
I just wanna stay
I just wanna play
So turn the lights down low and unplug the phone.
Put on the k.d. lang, it's time to do our thang
Because tonight’s the night; it’s going to be all right.
It’s gonna be all right.

New Girlfriend
03:27

No one else is sweeter
and every time I see her she makes me sing
Sha la la la, I've got a new girlfriend
Innocence and beauty—all that she needs to be, you know she is
She's my new girlfriend
Sha la la la la la, I've got a new girlfriend
She knows no jealousy
She brings out of me the sweetest love
She's my new girlfriend
No supermodel beats her
As soon as you meet her, you'll fall in love
Sha la la la la, with my new girlfriend
Sha la la la la la, I've got a new girlfriend
And it's all like a dream, 'til I see you again
She don't look like no movie star
She don't drive no flashy car
She don't wear no short little skirt
She don't even say a word
She's my cool girlfriend
She’s my new girlfriend
Sha la la la la la, I've got a new girlfriend

I know you're a soldier in the army of Love
I know you're fighting for it
I know you're fighting for it
I know you're fighting for it
Fighting for love
You're fighting for love
I know that it's a battle
But there's one thing I'll say
We're moving ahead, we're being led
By a force greater than ourselves
I know you're a soldier in the army of Love
I've seen you trying for it
I've seen you crying for it
I've seen you dying for it
Dying for love
You're dying for love
It's a free-love revolution
Put into the street
Not to take away, but to give to you and me
I know you're a soldier in the army of Love
I see you leaning toward it
I see you feeling for it
I see you bleeding for it
Pleading for love
You're bleeding for love
I know it can be trying
And I know it can be cruel
But I can dream there’ll come a day when love will be the rule
I know you're a soldier in the army of Love
You've got me working for it
you've got me working for it
you've got me working for it
Working for love
I'm working for love
Never to break promises and never to deceive
Icarus on eagle's wings falling to the sea

Cool Water

|
Lay me down in the cool water
Let me feel the way it feels
Let me become a believer
Make it real, make it real
Well, I never asked for all that much
Just to find me a little peace
I once flew with wings like an eagle
Now I'm crawling on my knees
I've been searching the stars for heaven
Every day
I'm still trying to find my way
I'll befriend every demon
And I'll shoulder the sky
It's time for me to believe in something
All my tears run dry
I don't hear the things that people say
I'm just trying to find my way

You, Computerman
You, Superman
Imagine you feel, then you can
You, frying pan
You, garbage can
You, Son of Sam
Smoking in Amsterdam
Coughing in Pakistan
Dead in Afghanistan
I knew Mr. Spock
I knew Mr. Spock
I knew Mr. Spock
And he was nothing like you
I was Mr. Spock
I was Mr. Spock
And I know nothing of you
You, living man
You, breathing man
Politician of limited emotion
You, breathing man
You, feeling man
A driving ambition to hold out your hand
I know the truth
You feel like they do
I know the truth
You feel it just like they do
You, lonely man
You, immortal man
Drank of honeydew
Nothing to do
Nothing to do

Who's that blocking shots?
Who's that making passes?
Who's that taking opponents and putting them down on their asses?
Got him in a deal for Simpkins--it's almost a crime
Dickey might your guy, all right, but Scott Burrell is mine.
It's clear to me, and everybody can tell
It's Scott Burrell (He's my guy)
It's clear to me, it's like ringing a bell
It's Scott Burrell (He's my guy)
Scott can throw the fastball
Or dish to Scottie on the back door
Drafted by the Blue Jays, he's making it in Chicago today
He's looking like Mike as he goes to the hole
Shooting up that 3-ball--watch it now--He's nailing it cold
Take it to me now
It's clear to me, and everybody can tell
It's my guy Burrell (He's my guy)
He's my man, and he's playing well
He's Scott Burrell (Talkin' bout my guy)
Kick it to me now
He's coming in off the bench
And the Jerrys think he's a mensch
He's got the attitude, and he sho nuff got the moves
You might mistake him for Jordan when he's out there on the floor, but
He's wearing number 24, and he's got the moves to support it
It's clear to me, and everybody can tell
It's Scott Burrell (He's my guy)
He's my man, and he's playing well
It's my guy Burrell (Talkin' bout my guy)
Watch it now
Only Burrell can make it happen
Now listen to me rappin'
Don't make me dish you out a slappin'
I wanna know who you crappin'
It's clear to me, and everybody can tell
It's Scott Burrell (He's my guy)
Everybody knows, like a funky smell
It's Scott Burrell (He's my guy)
Going on with his bald head--it ain't hard to tell
It's my guy Burrell
