i know a place we could go
i know a place where there aren't any roads
where the grass is always greener,
and doesn't scratch your fingers
i know a place
so come with me dear,
the halogen hum hurts my ears
swim in the spring,
we could be free
cause i know a place we could go
no one has been there, and no one will know
there it is quiet, forget the violence
you've tried so hard to ignore
oh, i know a place we could go
unpack our bags and we'll call it a home
the sea will sing our minds to sleep
i know a place we could go
and once we get there we could stay
an old shaky house, our lives would be made
and i don't know all the answers
but you look like december
there we could stay
i'm tired of fear
grasping for safe, familiar
you are like me, oh, could we leave?
cause i know a place we could go
far from the highways, far from that home
seep in the silence, safe in our minds that
we try so hard to control
oh, i know a place we could go
no one will notice once we are gone
up in the trees, laugh on the beach
i know a place we could go
can we go home?
cause i know a place we could go
deep in the forest, out of the storm
our souls could be freed of the disease
that everyone tried to destroy
oh, i know a place we could go
no one has been there, no one will know
the sea will sing our minds to sleep
i know a place we could go
Uh-oh, running out of breath, but I
Oh, I, I got stamina
Uh-oh, running now, I close my eyes
Well, oh, I got stamina
And uh-oh, I see another mountain to climb
But I, I, I got stamina
Uh-oh, I need another lover, be mine
Cause I, I, I got stamina
Don't give up, I won't give up
Don't give up, no no no
Don't give up, I won't give up
Don't give up, no no no
I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive
I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive
The greatest, the greatest alive
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff)
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you "Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"
And the blood will dry
underneath my nails
and the wind will rise up
to fill my sails
so you can doubt
and you can hate
but I know, no matter what it takes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
tell the world I'm coming home
let the rain wash away
all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
tell the world I'm coming
Still far away
from where I belong
but it's always darkest
before the dawn
so you can doubt
and you can hate
but I know, no matter what it takes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
tell the world I'm coming home
let the rain wash away
all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
tell the world I'm coming
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
tell the world I'm coming home
let the rain wash away
all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
tell the world I'm coming home
Behind the smiling mask
Beneath the brightness of this lie
There's a cold uncalming place.
A place you filled with ice
Welcoming and tidied up
But now abandoned.
Our plans were disregarded
Cast aside I'm left alone
Growing restless of my own company.
And every time I lie
Alone awake at night
Upon the bed we share the silence to remind you're nowhere.
But as I see your face
In this forgotten place
I try to rise with the sun but everything has come
Undone
...
Left here to twist in the wind
Unwound but tangled up within
I believed in all our lies.
Selfishly wish I'd forget
All the sweet untrues you sold so well
I'd give everything to save you.
And every time I lie
Alone awake at night
Upon the bed we share the silence to remind you're nowhere.
But as I see your face
In this forgotten place
I'll try to rise with the sun but everything has come
Undone
Undone
And every time I lie
Alone awake at night
Upon the bed we share the silence to remind you're nowhere.
But as I see your face
In this forgotten place
I'll try to rise with the sun but everything has come
Undone.
all your light can't save me
all your light all your light can't save me
i won't wait though my time may come
i can't wait, i can't wait
my time may come
my body won't work for nobody but me, son
She works the nights, by the water
She's gone astray, so far away
From my father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (Daily struggle)
She tells him, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
(Stay out there, stay out there)
She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do"
(Stay out there, stay out there)
So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye, no
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
Kiss my lips, feel the rhythm of your heart and hips
I will pray so the castle that we've built won't cave
The secrets you tell me I'll take to my grave
There's bones in my closet, but you hang stuff anyway
And if you have nightmares, we'll dance on the bed
I know that you love me, love me
Even when I lose my head
Guillotine
doctor look into my eyes
i've been breathing air but there's no sign of life
doctor the problem's in my chest
my heart feels cold as ice but it's anybody's guess
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
You really messed up everything
You really messed up everything
But you can take it all back again
Strike up what's in the box
Why should I be good if you're not?
This is a foul tasting medicine
A foul tasting medicine
To be trapped in your full stop
Truth will mess you up
One of these days the ground will drop out from beneath your feet
One of these days your heart will stop and play its final beat
One of these days the clocks will stop and time won't mean a thing
One of these days their bombs will drop and silence everything
But it's alright
Yeah it's alright
I said it's alright
Easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet not yet
One of these days
I bet your heart'll be broken
I bet your pride'll be stolen
I bet I bet I bet I bet
One of these days
One of these days
I am Usnavi and you prob’ly never heard my name
Reports of my fame are greatly exaggerated
Exacerbated by the fact that my syntax
Is highly complicated 'cuz I emigrated
From the single greatest little place in the Caribbean:
Dominican Republic!
I love it!
