thinking.....

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes illusions are so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings are so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
 
I was quiet as a mouse
when i snuck into your house
and took roofies with your spouse
in a nit and out a louse
and lice are lousy all the time
they suck your blood drink your wine
say shut up and quit your crying
give it time and you'll be fine

you're so nice and you're so smart
you're such a good friend i hafta break your heart
tell you that i love you then i'll tear your world apart
just pretend i didn't tear your world apart

i like boys with strong convictions
and convicts with perfect diction
underdogs with good intentions
amputees with stamp collections
plywood skinboards ride the ocean
salty noses suntan lotion
always seriously joking
and rambunctiously soft-spoken
i like boys that like their mothers
and i have a thing for brothers
but they always wait til we're under the covers
to say i'm sure glad we're not lovers

you're so nice and you're so smart
you're such a good friend i hafta break your heart
tell you that i love you then i'll tear your world apart
just pretend i didn't tear your world apart

i like my new bunnysuit
i like my new bunnysuit
i like my new bunnysuit
when i wear it i feel cute
 
First a bunch of flying saucers flew over
Then I smelled the burning metal reek of Nova
And the CIA and Jehova
Said to blame it on the bossa nova

Time is on my side
Slime is on my tide
I ride my time slide all the time
I'm lazy

Mickey Mouse is watching from his well-known dial
He knows a myth is as good as a mile
The rescue party's probing through the smoking pile
Time capsules sure are different from time bombs

So I told everybody come on over
If you got another Nova coming over
It's okay to bring another Nova over
You can blame it on the bossa nova

How did primitive man survive
Bound by lust, he couldn't count past five
In the hustle to stay alive
He's sidetracked

He put on clothing and an ordered mind
Left his instincts all far behind
He dropped his rhythm and picked up time
And now he's out there looking for a ride back

Sometimes old awful cold people Nova
Sometimes Don Juans from Villanova Nova
Square and round flat and oval people Nova
They can all blame the bossa nova
 
They want our way of life
Well, they can take mine any time they like
Cause God knows I know I ain't living right
I'm wrong
Oh, I know I'm so wrong

So like the Roman Empire fell away
Let me tell you; we are going the same way
Ah, behold the Decline and Fall
All hold hands with our backs to the wall

It's the end, why don't you admit it?
It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich
Evil comes I know from not where
But if you take a look inside yourself
Maybe you'll find some in there

Not one single soul was saved
I was ordering an Indian take-away
I was spared whilst others went to an early grave
Got stoned
Yeah, went out and got stoned

Well, if your ancestors could see you standing there
They would gaze in wonder at your Frigidaire
They had to fight just to survive
So can't you do something with your life?

It's the end, why don't you admit it?
It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich
Evil comes I know from not where
But if you take a look inside yourself
Maybe you'll find some in there

Here it comes
Why don't you embrace it?
You lack the guts needed to face it
Say goodbye to the way you've been living
You never realised you were on the wrong side
And nobody's going to win

They want our way of life
Well, they can take mine any time they like
 
There is something about this song
This is a song about something there

We did the clubs, what ass
I was hoping to have her in the sack
I was looking handsome
She was looking like an erotic vulture

I was all dressed in black
She was all dressed up in black
Everything was fine down here
What you call it here
Call it what you will here
Way down in this
Subbacultcha

Her warm white belly in the life
I'd lived had seen nothing finer
She shakes and she moves me or something
She's like jellyroll, like sculpture

I was wearing eyeliner
She was wearing eyeliner
It was so good down here
Saving for my scrapbook here
Way down down down in this
Subbacultcha

Now we live on the sea
And relax and ride the tack
Drug-running on this Panamanian schooner
She walks the deck in a black dress
And me I dress up in black
And we listen to the sea
And look at the sky
In a poetic kind of way
What you call it?
When you look at the sky
In a poetic kind of way?

You know, when you grope for luna.
 
We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice
Could we please be objective?
Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us
A hand over my mouth
A hand over the window
Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle
Then we should be ok, and we won't get into trouble
Cause we're seeing other people
At least that's what we say we are doing

How are you feeling?
I don't think you can be dealing
With the situation very well
You take a lover for a dirty weekend, that's ok
But when it's over
You are looking at the working week in the eyes of a gigolo

You're kissing your elbow
You're kissing your reflection
And you can't understand why all the other boys are going forthe
New, tall, elegant rich kids
I'll admit it is a bitch, kid
But if they don't see the quality then it is apparent that
You're going to have to change
Or you're going to have to go with girls
You might be better off
At least they know what they're doing

We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice
Could we please be objective?
Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us
A hand over my mouth
A hand over the window
Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle
Then we should be ok, and we won't get into trouble
Cause we're seeing other people
At least that's what we say we are doing
 
i love that song ^ ....i love this one too :oops:

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
"Just what your worth"

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream, down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I...


Tears stream, down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I...


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

That is the worst song ever recorded. It's not even remotely sung in tune for a start. Chris Martin = first aganist the wall :mad:
 
All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground I will see you screaming

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
I wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny? What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger And you're down, down, down

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny? What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground I will see you screaming

All my friends are gone,
they died (gonna take you down)
They all screamed, and cried
I'm gonna take you down
Gonna take you down [x3]

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
and Beat me to the ground I will see you screaming

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground I will see you screaming
 
Can you stop, please?
Can you stop the fire?
You cant stop the fire,
you wont say the words.
Please, Please

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

Can you stop, please?
Can you stop the fire?
You cant stop the fire,
you wont say the words.
Please, Please

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out;
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something.......

Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Can you stop, please?
Can you stop the fire?
You cant stop the fire,
you wont say the words.
Please, Please
 
No, I haven't got anything better to do...

I cannot take this anymore
Sayin' everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you say
You'll find that out anyway

[Just like before]

Everything you say to me
[Takes me one step closer to the edge]
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breath,
[Cuz I'm one step closer to the edge,]
I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again

[Just like before]

Everything you say to me
[Takes me one step closer to the edge,]
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
[Cuz I'm one step closer to the edge,]
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
[Takes me one step closer to the edge,]
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
[Cuz I'm one step closer to the edge,]
And I'm about to!!!!

Break!



Shut up When im talkin to you!
SHUT UP!
SHUT UP!
SHUT UP!
SHUT UP WHEN IM TALKIN TO YOU!
SHUT UP!
SHUT UP!
SHUT UP!
SHUT UP!

Im about to break!
Everything you say to me,
[Takes me one step closer to the edge,]
And im about to break!
I need a little room to breath,
[Cuz I'm one step closer to the edge,]
and im about to break!
Everything you say to me,
[Takes me one step closer to the edge,]
and im about to break!
I need a little room to breath,
[Cuz I'm one step closer to the edge,]
AND IM ABOUT TO!!!!!!
BREAK!
 
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
 
Here comes that shit again
I got a Halloween head
Head full of tricks and treats
It leads me through the nighttime streets
Black cats and fallen trees
Under ladders - always walkin’
Salt shaker spills - just throw it over your shoulder, babe

I got a bad idea again
I got a Halloween head
Halloween head

Head full of candy bags
costume shops and punks in drag
Head full of tricks and treats
Places where junkies meet
And it leads me through the streets at night
That’s alright I just watch, I don't go inside
It's all the same old shit again
I got a Halloween head
I got a Halloween head
Lord, I got a Halloween head

Guitar solo!

I got a Halloween head
Lord, I got a Halloween head
I got a Halloween head
Oh, Lord, I got a Halloween head

Here comes that shit again
I got a Halloween head
Head full of tricks and treats
It leads me through the nighttime streets
Down-town, down-town, down-town

I got a Halloween head
I got a Halloween head
Lord, I got a Halloween head
What the fuck's wrong with me?
God, I’m a Halloween head
 
It was late one nite by the pale moonlight
all the vegetables gave a spree;
they put out a sign that said the dancing's at nine
and all the admission was free,
there was peas and greens and cabbage and beans
it was the biggest crowd you ever did see;
and when man cucumber struck up that number
you should have heard those vegetables scream--


Oh little turnip top was doin' the backwards flop
the cabbage is doin' the shimmy, she couldn't stop
the little red beet shook its feet
and the watermelon died of the cockeyed heat;
little tomato, agitator, shook the shimmy with the sweet potato
and old man garlic dropped dead of the colic
down at the barnyard dance
late this morning.
down at the barnyard dance.

(intrumental bridge)
(in a falseto voice)

Oh little turnip top was doin' the backwards flop
the cabbage is doin' the shimmy, she couldn't stop
the little red beet shook its feet
and the watermelon died of the cockeyed heat;

(normal voice)

little tomato, agitator, shook the shimmy with the sweet potato
and old man garlic dropped dead of the colic
down at the barnyard dance
this morning.
down at the barnyard...
late this morning.
down at the barnyard dance.

Complimentary "Babe Im On Fire" R
 
The match burns down, it nips your fingers
Wakes you from the dream of where you thought you were
Wrong, wrong, got your face right in it
(As if the world could care)

And sliding under the wing to starboard
The moon goes up and down on some city somewhere
Your heart is jammed, the chamber’s loaded
Silver bullets of joy or despair

And you can trust in the power of music
You can trust in the power of prayer
But it’s only the white of your knuckles
That’s keeping this plane in the air

I’ve got scar tissue, I’ve got cash in hand
Got a season ticket to the Promised Land
And I do this for a living, mister, don’t you understand
That I’m dancing, dancing, dancing as fast as I can?

And when you’re dry, they bring you brandy
The gates of sleep, you’ve got to push on through
Who stands guard while you’re dreaming
Of blue skies, blue over blue?

And you can trust in the power of music
You can trust in the power of prayer
But it’s only the white of your knuckles
That’s keeping this plane in the air

I’ve got scar tissue, I’ve got cash in hand
Got a season ticket to the Promised Land
And I do this for a living, mister, don’t you understand
That I’m dancing, dancing, dancing as fast as I can?

I still love this song... :cool: :)
 
Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio

Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is
Making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get when you mess with us

Karma Police
I've given all I can
It's not enough
I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get when you mess with us

And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

For for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
 
mmmmm

Fox in the snow, where do you go
To find something you can eat?
Cause the word out on the street is you are starving
Dont let yourself grow hungry now
Dont let yourself grow cold
Fox in the snow

Girl in the snow, where will you go
To find someone that will do?
To tell someone all the truth before it kills you
They listen to your crazy laugh
Before you hang a right
And disappear from sight
What do they know anyway?
Youll read it in a book
What do they know anyway?
Youll read it in a book tonight

Boy on the bike, what are you like
As you cycle round the town?
Youre going up, youre going down
Youre going nowhere
Its not as if theyre paying you
Its not as if its fun
At least not anymore
When your legs are black and blue
Its time to take a break
When your legs are black and blue
Its time to take a holiday

Kid in the snow, way to go
It only happens once a year
It only happens once a lifetime
Make the most of it
Second just to being born
Second to dying to
What else could you do?
 
Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast
Southern man

I saw cotton
and I saw black
Tall white mansions
and little shacks.
Southern man
when will you
pay them back?
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast
Southern man

Lily Belle,
your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man
comin' round
Swear by God
I'm gonna cut him down!
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

 
my phase is back with a vengance.

Lovesick on a sunny afternoon,
You are tired of staying in,
You are waiting for a sign.
Mayfly, woken up when skies are clear,
I don't mind you coming near,
Keep me company til she comes again.

You are the one who's making do,
I am the one who's privy to,
Cause you saw him in the park,
Cause you saw him at the bridges
With the people in the dark.

Cana was the start of something big,
You are there in the beginning,
You were there to see him play.
Mayfly, woken up when skies are blue,
I don't mind the sight of you,
Keep me company till she comes again.

You are the one who's making do,
I am the one who's privy to,
Cause you saw him at the celebration
Standing at the side,
He had the moves to save the day,
But you would love him anyway.

Lovesick, you came back upon yourself,
You are the one left on the shelf,
You are incapable of playing the fool.
Longing, so what's different today?
You send the boy and girl away,
You are concerned with matters lofty.

But puzzled so it makes you sick,
Your diary's looking like the Bible
With its verses lost in time,
Lost in meaning to the people who surround you
It's a crying shame,
You know it's a crying shame,
You know it's a crying shame...

Mayfly, woken up when skies are blue,
I don't mind the sight of you,
Keep me company til she comes again.
Mayfly, woken up when skies are clear,
I don't mind you coming near,
Keep me company till she comes again,
La la la la,
She comes again,
La la la la,
She comes again,
La la la la la...
 
i DO love them.

how you are my hero
how your never here though
remember times when you put me on your shoulders
how i wish it was forever you would hold us
right now im too young to know
how in the future it will affect me when you go
you could have had it all
you, me, and mum y`know
anything was possible

i wont be the lonely one
sitting on my own and sad
a fifty year old
reminiscing what i had

i wont be the lonely one
sitting on my own and sad
forget your dad, he's gone

all i wanted was a kick-a-bout in the park
for you to race me home when it was nearly getting dark
how i could've been yours, and you be mine
it could've been me and you until the end of time
do what you want, when you want
be as fuckin' insincere as you can
what kind of way is that to treat your wife
to see your son on saturdays
what way is that to live your life?

i wont be the lonely one
sitting on my own and sad
a fifty year old
reminiscing what i had

i wont be the lonely one
sitting on my own and sad
forget your dad, he's gone

Orange

I see a orange
See a orange
Ooh, one or two

I see an orange
A UFO
Got to go Star Trek style

Orange

I see a worm up on a platform
I got the blues
Can I scream?

Air cruise crashin' not my style
I like yours
Orange
Shout

I'm movin', baby
To the side of your mouth
I scream

I see a orange
I see a orange
Ooh, saw a earthquake too...
I love you
 
kinda like a cloud i was up, way up in the sky.
and i was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe.
sometimes i don't believe them myself and i decided i was never coming down.

just then a tiny little dot caught my eye.
it was just about too small to see.
but i watched it way too long.
it was pulling me down.

[Chorus:]
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it

shut up.
so what what does it matter now.
i was swimming in the hate now i crawl on the ground.
and everything i never liked about you is kind of seeping into me.
i try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out.
"i guess the joke's on me," she said.

[Chorus]

i used to be so big and strong.
i used to know my right from wrong.
i used to never be afraid.
i used to be somebody.

i used to have something inside.
now just this hole it's open wide.
used to want it all.
i used to be somebody.

i'll cross my heart and hope to die.
but the needle's already in my eye.
and all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why.
what i used to think was me is just a fading memory.
i looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."

[Chorus]

rain rain go away.
come again some other day.

[Chorus]

na na na na na na na na.
 
Get up! It's time!
Get up and make it snappy!
Dance like a psycho
A sight like nothing on earth
Keep a wide berth
>From anyone you might know
So no first night nerves
All first serves! All aces!
Straight home bases
Sweating like a pig doing the jig
At the gig of the century
Because we'll never be
Told by the old school
Sold the old rules
Tho' we're no fools
Downbeats down to earth
You down with me?
Clowning round the town
Step easy
cooking up new tricks
Looking for a new kick
Found a new sound
Found that it sticks
Heard about the bird
'Bout the plane and
The superman?
Word is: We can outlast anyone
Supercede the superfly guys
Who will concede
They are dying flies
This range of suss
Could be dangerous
Let's test! At best it's religious
At worst a thirst
Bursting for the next rhyme
all times sacred
Even stripped naked
This damned nation
Needing salvation
Reach out!
Teach in musical elation
Shout! Get out of it get within it
Get out of it get within it
All the way mad and bad
All the way hyped
Play it mad DJ! Play it bad DJ
All the way mad and bad
All the way hyped
Are you with me
Are you with it?
A musical nasty
Fast as it has to be
A catastrophe
Heavy duty chaos
'Cos I'm all attitude
The dude to kickstart
The party mood
Cue the truth:
Sleuths are never sober
The proof of youth
So move over rover
Hey! Disco King
You've stopped dancing
Best admit
This hit's an obsession
Lost in lust
Better listen to the lessons
Bright lights big city
Broad minds
Bored pretty easily
Busted just for justice sake
They can't control a soul
Ther's an outbreak
Of outrageous love
It's contageous and
It's here to save us
Some say:
"Now way DJ don't play
The laterst the greatest
The mad and bad way."
If it ain't music use it abuse it
Call it a wall of noise
But don't refuse it
This damned nation
Needing salvation
Reach out!
Teach in musical elation
Shout! Get out of it get within it
Get out of it get within it
Dedicated to all the bores
All the whores
Who forced the laws
You thought
We'd stop dancing and
You were wrong
1-2-3-4-5-6-7
Kiss my ass and go to heaven
Y.O.U. spells you
 
Pardon me while I burst...

A decade ago,
I never thought I would be,
at twenty-three, on the verge of
spontaneous combustion. -Woe-is-me.-
But I guess that it comes
with the territory,
An ominous landscape of
never-ending calamity.
I need you to hear,
I need you to see
that I have had all I can take and
exploding seems like a DEFINITE possibility
to me.

So pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!

Not two days ago,
I was having a look
in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy
fried up above his knee.
I said, "I can relate,"
cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
as a welcome vacation from
the burdens of
the planet Earth.
like gravity, hypocrisy,
and the perils of being in 3-D...
but thinking so much differently.

Pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!

Never be the same, yeah...
Pardon me, while I burst into flames...
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.

So pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!

Never be the same, yeahh!!
 
yeah boy!...

Well I caught my wife with another man
And it cost me ninety nine
On a prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida line
Well I'd been here for two long years
I finally made the warden my friend
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
Taking care of Ol Red

Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest dog that I've ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
He's a four legged tracking machine
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
But all these years that I've been here
Ain't nobody got past Red

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes

Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
To my cousin up in Tennessee
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound
She was pretty as she could be
Well they penned her up in the swampland
'Bout a mile just south of the gate
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
I'd just drop him off and wait

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes

Now Ol' Red got real used to seeing
His lady every night
And so I kept him away for three or four days
And waited till the time got right
Well I made my run with the evenin' sun
And I smiled when I heard 'em let Red out
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
And Ol' Red was headed south

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes

Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South
Love got me in here and love got me out
 
3rd degree
The heat myestery spree
Catch me when I fall
some would have it said
That there's no reason
To be here
But just love it all
Night or day I got a place to stay
A padded cell to get well
A lifelong swansong for y'all
This heat's unreasonable
The seasonal bad vibes
Come as no surprise
Bugged and tuggeds in 92 directions
There's murder in my eyes
Locked indoors
I kill without a cause
A 92 meat stew for you
A lifelong swansong for y'all
A birth, a death, a romance
I just love it all
Burn so bright and drop like flies
Yeah, but I still love it all
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now?
>From the wrong side of the law
A 92 degree heatwave
A 22 stretch inside
I wish I could do it...Do it!
It's a sad mess
When seconds of madness
Cut life in mid-stride
It's the sun that's guilty
Oozing rays of badness
There's one place I can hide
Night or day I got a place to stay
A padded cell to get well
A lifelong swansong for y'all
For all the ones who hate me
I just love them all
They can criticise and extradite me
But I still love them all
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now?
From the wrong side of the law
A 92 degree heatwave
A 2 stretch inside
I wish I could do it! Do it right!
 
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here
There can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we've just stopped trying

And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool

And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
and I can't hide it
And I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together
Don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you

But it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

Don't you know that I...
I just can't fake it
Oh it's too late my baby
Too late my baby
You know
It's too late my baby
