you start to do it cuz you like to
you start to do it cuz it's got something you need
there's a woman with a guitar in hand
that she used to play for free
she says
I was made for love
I was made for laughter
I can't remember what it was
do you remember what it was
if I could I would play for free
if I could I would play for freedom
I would play because I like to
and when I got tired I would stop
but then I think I'd start again
because I think that I love people
and the things that makes em sad
and the things that makes em sad
you start to do it cuz you have to
you start to do it cuz you got somewhere to be
there's a woman with a guitar in hand
that she used to play for me
she says
I was made for love
I was made for laughter
I can't remember what it was
do you remember what it was
if I could I would play for free
if I could I would play for freedom
I would play because I like to
and when I got tired I would stop
but then I think I'd start again
because I think that I love people
and the things that makes em sad
and the things that makes em sad

just give me cigarettes and honey
cuz that's all I really need
and my good people behind me
as I find my speed
I'm an Italian from Kentucky
no you don't know what that means
they're ain't no drumming down below me
you gotta rise to be seen
and I want these things around me
so I'm feeling like a did before
when the rain comes down to drown me
it's just a sad little lonely storm
and no I'm not slowing down
cuz now I'm feeling like I did before
and it's feeling like and open door
and I don t need to say the reason why
I want a lady who adores me
and then I think I'll fall in love
twill be a homer to the right field
but for now I'm playing tough
I believe in Einstein
and Leo Da Vinci
I'm an Italian from Kentucky
you gotta rise to be seen
and I want these things around me
so im feeling like a did before
when the rain comes down to drown me
its just a sad little lonely storm
and no I'm not slowing down
cuz no I'm feeling like I did before
and it's feeling like and open door
and I don t need to say the reason why
feeling like an open door
feeling like an open door
feeling like an open door
and I don't need to say the reason why

Sweeper Song

they dropped me in the river where
people live like lady hair
swallowing they're flying prayer
and blowing for the show
oh I
know not where I'd like to be
breathing in the in-between
a funny thing to fold your wings
and sing to the telephone
how I know
love is coming my way
I can hear the river say
heeeeeee
I'm going to stay
why
I can't explain
the hypnotist with the hidden hand
held my truth to help me understand
sinking in this circus sand
at least I'm not alone
oh I
know not where I'd like to be
breathing in the in-between
a funny thing to fold your wings
and sing to the telephone
how I know
love is coming my way
I can hear the river say
heeeeeee
heeeeeee
heeeeeee
heeeeeee
ahhh ahhh
why
I can't explain

I believe
in the power of love
from your shady eyes
when the raining doves cry
for you
what you can't say
the paper boys
all fade away
would you sit alone
on a ferris wheel
if I told you twice
it could make you feel
the ten foot fish
would swim again
if you remember him
oh you remember him
but locksmiths have
such sex appeal
electric crooks
and the body shield
cherry heads that never feel
mine your face
for a wooden tear
there are women dressed
in satin rhyme
to tell the world
we will all be fine
your sister whispers
on the second floor
I'd like some more
ya I'd like some more
I cried alone at a film last year
when the passengers stabbed that man in fear
couldn't tell you what made me feel
something about them being real
the cornered painting
tries to walk
stiletto'd rhinos chide don't talk
while the mantle steeds
confer attempts
the widow'd cactus still resents
that dog that broke
the fence forever
running her situation to let her
paper streets will make the people stare
I feel better when I'm
not there
I cried alone at a film last year
when the passengers stabbed that man in fear
couldn't tell you what made me feel
something about them being real
I cried alone at a film last year
when the passengers stabbed that man in fear
couldn't tell you what made me feel
something about them was so real
I cried alone at a film last year
when the passengers stabbed that man in fear
couldn't tell you what made me feel
something about them being real
I believe
in the power of love
from your shady eyes
when the raining doves cry
for you
what you can't say
the paper boys
all fade away

hey copper come on tell me a story
I'm sinking in the half past three
I've been down to the movie station
and I don't know who I should be
the people they want something from me
they fight to get it out of me
I'm just looking for conversation
I'm higher than I'm trying to be
can you calm me down
oh the ground
has never been a right for me
and I run through the rain
and I chew through my pain
true what they say
I just can't calm me down
oh the ground
never been a right for me
copper come on tell me a secret
what they do to mystery
she go down to the movie station
where velvet is guaranteed
and the people are dying for something
other than reality
I need more than a gold equation
I'm higher than I'm trying to be
can you calm me down
oh the ground
has never been a right for me
and I run through the rain
and I chew through my pain
true what they say
I just can't calm me down
oh the gorund
never been a right for me
copper come on tell me story
now they got the gun on me
ain't it just like the movie station
we're the people we were trying to be
and the only one left above us
is the shadow they call history
I just hope there's a conversation
before they shoot the final scene

Too Much Expecting

there's too much expecting
I'm going down
there's too much expecting
I'm going down
there's nowhere to sit
nowhere to roam around
this town
it's foolish expecting
I don't want to wear a crown
it's foolish expecting
I can't wear a crown
to know where to sit
know where to roam around
this town
so
throw me away
my soul is grey
throw me away
my soul is grey
throw me away
now
I'd like to be all happy again
I'd like to be all happy again
I'd like to be all happy
now
throw me away
my soul is grey
throw me away
my soul is grey
throw me away
now
there's too much expecting
I'm going down
there's too much expecting
I'm going down
there's nowhere to sit
nowhere to roam around
this town
this town

why do you fold
your face away
the minute our eyes grow strange
together
two yellow felons
searching for a stage
this jungle knows no age
stay with me this moment
let me show you
I don’t know how to know you
I’ve got something to try
I walked into the moon tonight
way unto the empty light
I try I try I try
but I need a friend I
I need a friend to fly
back on the ground
faces float around
for a sound a sign
a certain way to ride
the middle
a riddle land
you can be a clown
or be a man
but understand they’ll cut your hand
stay with me this moment
let me show you
I don’t know how to know you
I’ve got something to try
I walked into the moon tonight
way unto the empty light
I try I try I try
but I need a friend I
I need a friend to fly
and I wont come down
when Im up in the air
no I wont come down
I don’t care
this is the part of the song un-yet-written
this is the part that nobody knows
this is the part of the song if forgiven it goes
oh it goes
it goes to the rainbow room
where all the waters cry
if I could take my time
oh I would take my time
up in the rainbow room
where all the waters cry
if I could take my time
oh I would take my time
up in the rainbow room
where all the waters cry
if I could take my time
oh I would take my time
up in the rainbow room
where all the waters cry
if I could take my time
oh I would take my time

it’s a very blue shirt you’re wearing
a very blue shirt indeed
and a very blue horse that you call of course
your very blue steed
it’s a very blue sky you’re riding
a very blue wave you sail
and a very blue queen you will soon to be
and the very blue people will hail
hey you very blue
very blue ya
hey you very blue
very blue ya
it’s a very blue heart you’re holding
so heavy in your very blue hands
and it’s hard to understand
between your very blue commands
that you’re a victim to a very blue plan
hey you very blue
very blue ya
hey you very blue
very blue ya

there’s an old fashioned way
to talk about the thing I'm trying to say
to you its true
you’ve really got me feeling something
news to me
I can be so disagreeable
unfair in my expectations
but if you keep walking to me
I’m gonna love ya
slow at the start
but then you’re gonna feel
like a hurricane’s got hold your heart
and we’ll live together
like the sailor and sea
and maybe if I’m luck you’ll teach me
I can be easy
there’s an old fashioned way
to talk about the thing I’m trying to say
to me yes me not you
it’s usually me I’m talking to
but usually
is something I no longer need
now that you are walking to me
wont you keep on walking to me
I’m gonna love ya
slow at the start
but then you’re gonna feel
like a hurricane’s got hold your heart
and we’ll live together
like the sailor and sea
and maybe if I’m lucky you’ll teach me
I can be easy
I can be easy
and we’ll live together
like the sailor and sea
and maybe if I’m lucky you’ll teach me
I can be easy

That actually, its really good that Im here. I understand through song. ... more
