if i'm not the crack of the cork
and the shot in the arm across
the room like a four alarm
some kind of danger
i look that way
you try to be cool
with little to say
i can't be the calm
your bottle of wine
i have to be a quarter
not a nickel and dimes
i want to be the prayer
answered when you meet me
the pain the bat and the blood
when you beat me

because you're
infallible bombastic
sonically elastic
entergetic spastic
explosive plastic
sculpture cast it
mclaren pass it
emotional strastic
egg first crack it
first date mack it
suitcase pack it
eight ball rack it
sadness don't mask it
thoughts schoolastic
glockenspiel blast it
pack of butts hack it
a hit song track it
hatred whack it
sorrow sack it
wasted drink it
if you thought it
think it
like pretty and pink kid
battleship sink it
big dream make a bid
do it you just did

if i'm not the crack of the cork
and the shot in the arm across
the room like a four alarm
some kind of danger
i look that way
you try to be cool
with little to say
i can't be the calm
your bottle of wine
i have to be a quarter
not a nickel and dimes
i want to be the prayer
answered when you meet me
the pain the bat and the blood
when you beat me

because you're
impossibly protected
criminally respected
soulfully connected
chaotically hectic
temptress naked
candycoat bake it
dune city rake it
concerns placated
you know you have to make it
if it's not broken break it
it it's stolen take it
answer with a bayonet
dime bag stash it
accelerator mash it
get it out like an exorcist
sado like a masochist
nine o thrash it
five o smash it
hotel room trash it
coming down crash it
like pistols and pink sid
stir it up and drink it
big leap make a bid
do it you just did

if i'm not the crack of the cork
and the shot in the arm across
the room like a four alarm
some kind of danger
i look that way
you try to be cool
with little to say
i can't be the calm
your bottle of wine
i have to be a quarter
not a nickel and dimes
i want to be the prayer
answered when you meet me
the pain the bat and the blood
when you beat me

the pain the bat and the blood when you beat me

 

Faith of the Heart-- Russel Watson
"Star Trek: Enterprise" Theme Song.

It's been a long road,
Getting from there to here.
It's been a long time,
But my time is finally near.
And I will see my dream come alive at last,
I will touch the sky.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more,
No they're not gonna change my mind,

Cause I've got faith of the heart,
Going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe,
I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul,
No one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith,
I've got faith,
Faith of the heart.

 

TICK TOCK - Stevie Ray Vaughan

One night while sleeping in my bed I had a beautiful dream
I dreamed that all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength,
and began helping one another
Now in this dream, universal love was the theme of the day
Peace and understanding and it happened this way

The sick and the hungry, had smiles on their faces,
And the tired and the homeless had family all around
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places,
and the walls came tumblin' down

People of the world we all had it together,
We had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Remember how
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea,
all the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again
Everything was clean and pretty it was safe for you and me,
the worst of enemies became the best of friends

People of the world we all had it together,
We had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future

Remember how
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

November Rain - Guns N Roses

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this auch a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

 

The world is cold and thunderous
As one dark day follows the next
And from high up in the heavens
Shadows fell like rain
DrenchinThe world is cold and thunderous
As one dark day follows the next
And from high up in the heavens
Shadows fell like rain
Drenching me in sorrow
Drowning me in pain
Pulling me deeper and deeper
Spinning me faster and faster
Into turbulance
And helplesness
And everything turned to blackness
For my eyes had closed before me
As I tried to hide from my sadness
But there's nowhere to hide
In an empty world
And then, Just as hope seemed to have faith
There appeared a shelter in the distance
That shelter was love
That shelter was you.

 

Ooh, ooh now baby, tell me how have you been
We all have missed you, and the way you grin
The day is necessary, every now and then
For souls to move on, givin' life back again and again
Fly on, fly on, fly on my friend
Go on, live again, love again

Day after day, night after night
Sittin' here, singin' every minute, as the years go passing by, by, by, by
Long look in the mirror, we've come face to face
Wishing all the love we took for granted, love we have today

Life without you, all the love you passed my way
The angels have waited for you so long, now they have their way
Take your place

-------------

Hello there, my old friend
Not so long ago, it was till the end
We played outside in the pouring rain
On our way up the road, we'd start over again

You're living your dreams, whoa you on top
My mind is aching, Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens, living life by the drop

Up and down the road in our worn-out shoes
Talkin' 'bout good things and singin' the blues
You went your way and I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter of time

You're living your dreams, whoa you on top
My mind is aching, Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens, living life by the drop

No wasted time, we're alive today
Churning up the past, there's no easier way
Time's in between us, a means to an end
God, it's good to be here walking together, my friend

We're living our dreams
My mind stopped aching
That's how it happens, living life by the drop
That's how it happens, living life by the drop
That's how it happens, living life by the drop

Life Without You & Life By The Drop - Stevie Ray Vaughan

 

In Dreams I Dance with You

You remind me of a snowflake
That falls while comets hit the earth,
Destroying buildings and trees.
But you are so light in the air,
You never disrupt a thing.

Orenda, if you were here
I could walk through you,
Orenda.

In my bed at night I dream you're a ghost
That only cats can see.
Some nights you talk to me.
Some nights you sing me to sleep,
While moonlight showers the room.

Orenda, if you were here
I could walk through you,
Orenda.

In dreams I dance with you.
We dance the best in the kitchen.
While murderers and rapists surround the house.
We don't care,
Because our house is made of feathers.
They wouldn't dare.
In dreams I dance with you,
Though our bodies are made out of wood.



Tim I Wish You Were Born a Girl

Tim, wish you were born a girl,
So I could've been your boyfriend.
I know it's not possible now.
I just never met a girl I like half as much as you.

And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day,
Or at least until the afternoon
And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem.

And then when you got sick,
I could take the day off work.
I could've made you chicken soup,
And we could watch soap operas
- oh, those TV dramas!
I could catch your cold
and you could take care of me.

If I could've met you at school, or met you at work,
It would have changed everything.
Those years of losing, confusion and insecurity,
They would have been shared,
they would have been easier.

Tim, wish you were born a girl,
So I could've been your fiancé.
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me,
But it's just not the same because you're a man,
and so am I.

 

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

 

Whoops I OD'd - No fx

Whoops I od’d, shortness of breath, call ambulance, tell my wife I love her
Error in judgement cut my life, no second chance,no guiding light
I never meant to cause you pain
I never thought I’d be the one who took the fall
I got lost in the moment, assholes like to test the limit

Six minutes down, breathing machine, brain not feel right
The look on you is killing me, drowning in shame
But don’t feel bad, cuz I never feard consequences
Hate regrets more than apologies

A year has passed, like photographs, my life is just
A scrapbook of old friends and faded memories
Looks like I pulled the rub out from under myself
The falls too much for me to recover from

It’s been real fun but now I must say goodbye, I’ll see you all at okie dogs

 

And We Bid You GoodNight

Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
I love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

 

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire
Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I'm on fire
Sometimes it's like someone tooh a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my skull
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the
Middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire

 

Built to Spill - Big Dipper

[size=-1]Once
When I was little someone pointed out to me
Some constellations but the big dipper's all I could see
That brontasaurus must have stood a thousand miles high
That brontasaurus laying on its side up in the sky
Bottoms up and this time
Won't you let me be?
Bottled up but this time
Won't you rescue me?
You should have been here last night and heard what the big dipper said to me
Jack thought it twice and thought that that fact made it true
Some brains just work that way that's what chemicals can do
He thought he'd have a beer thought he was alone
He thought an Albertson's stir fry dinner would make his apartment a home
Bottoms up and this time
Won't you let me be?
Bottled up but this time
Won't you rescue me?
You should have been here last night and heard what the big dipper said to me
I thought I bored me but I learned to think like you
Now nothing bores me that's that nothing is thought through
Bottoms up and this time
Won't you let me be?
Bottled up but this time
Won't you rescue me?
Thought it out and this time
It's all I can see
You should have been here last night and heard what the big dipper said to me[/size]

 

And now, a word from the president!
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Gettin voted into the white house
Everything lookin good to the people of the world
But the mafia family is my boss
So every now and then I owe a favor gettin’ down
Like lettin’ a big drug shipment through
And send ’em to the poor community
So we can bust you know who
So voters of the world keep supportin’ me
And I promise to take you very far
Other leaders better not upset me
Or I’ll send a million troops to die at war
To all you republicans, that helped me win
I sincerely like to thank you
Cuz now I got the world swingin’ from my nuts
And damn it feels good to be a gangsta

 

Leftover Crack - Super Tuesday

It ain't a mystery
That US history
was built upon the graves
of native ways and beaten slaves
yeah we're all free and brave
until we misbehave
then there's just no escape
from the crushing weight
of a police state

two towers falling down
i'll be at zero ground
we're flying friendly skies
until the city dies
and you don't wanna see
through human history
empires will always fall
this is the final call

i pledge allegiance to no flag;
i'll top the bottle with an oily rag
we're building up an army fast
to destroy the pigs and break the upper class
i'm only one and this is my voice
but you're gonna have to make a choice
i don't care if you disagree
'cause this fucking thing
means the whole world to me

we won't be hypnotized
by all the media lies
its time the truth is told
when you're sick to death of being bought and sold
our freedoms been misplaced
fuck that, its been erased
the worlds our shooting range
i'm gonna spare some change
to bomb the stock exchange

Choking Victim - Born to Die

born to die
and you get
to sit and watch your tv set
believe the lies
before your eyes
credit cards and apple pies
50 stars to blind your eyes
13 stripes to hypnotize
free thought is gone
you'll never see you're just a pawn

you'll die tomorrow
but today your empty dreams just fade away
evaporate
dissolve the hate
and you survive and wait until a lifeless fate
your stupid lives just piddle on
you slave for others and then youre gone
i just can't escape the lying
moment we are born we're dying
such an ugly sight
we have no rights
we have no future
no reason why
we are born to die

your dumb self can't appreciate
the freedom in my thoughts
the weak sense of autonomy
when i'm sitting in my squat
that empty void was never filled
but the dreams of others you have killed
you'll justify, will linger on
but don't you know that dreams all die the day you're born
we have no god
there's only ignorant bliss
no reason why
we're born to die

gone to bed
god is dead
lies and truths are in my head
your history, society, economy
it isn't me
its all on you, reality
its whatcha do
its whatcha make
the truth and lies
the freedom dies
the mind it numbs
the spirit breaks

all our rights
it kills our future
our reasons why
we are born to die

 

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye

Tell the truth you never wanted me
Tell me

In my dreams I'm jealous all the time
As I wake I'm going out of my mind
Going out of my mind

 

Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

 

Aquarius

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

 

love is suicide
the empty bodies stand at rest
casualties of their own flesh
afflicted by their dispossession
but no bodies ever knew
nobodys
no bodies felt like you
nobodys
love is suicide
now we drive the night, to the ironies of peace
you can't help deny forever
the tragedies reside in you
the secret sights hide in you
the lonely nights divide you in two.

"Bodies"
~Smashing Pumpkins
