Highwire

Written by Colin Hay

Performed by Men at Work

Feel so washed up today
Haven't really got much to say

Blood on the pillow of my bed
Explains the pain that's in my head

Sometimes I don't know which way to go
Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well
''cause I'm walking on a high wire
High wire

Oh won't someone let me in
I'm stinking and I'm full of gin
No need to close the door so fast
I'm very fragile not built to last

Sometimes I don't know which way to go
Sometimes I can't tell
But it's just as well
''cause I'm walking on a high wire
Diving through the ring of fire
High wire

Have to pull it together
We're in for some stormy weather
Have to pull it together
We're in for some nasty weather
High wire, high wire

It really isn't too much fun
Sitting round waiting for the night to come
It's almost time to put on my suit of cool
I may be an idiot but indeed I am no fool

Sometimes I don't know which way to go
Sometimes I can't tell but it's just as well
'Cause I'm walking on a high wire

Dancing on the Ceiling

Written by Carlos Manuel Rios, Lionel Richie, Jr. and Michael H. Frenchick, Jr.

Performed by Lionel Richie

Man, what in the world is happening down here in the hall?
I wouldn't have a clue, let's go check this thing out

Woo!

What is happening here?
Something's going on that's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the lights
We're gonna have a party, it's starting tonight

Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

The room is hot and that's good
Some of my friends came by from the neighborhood
The people startin' a-climb the walls
Ooh, it looks like everybody is having a ball

Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Oh, oh what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Come on!

Woo!
Alright

Everybody starts to lose control when the music is right
If you see somebody hangin' around don't get up-tight
The only thing we wanna do tonight
Is go 'round and 'round and turn upside down

Come on let's get down!
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

So come on, let's get loose
Don't hold back 'cause ain't no use
Hard to keep your feet on the ground
'Cause when we like to party we only wanna get down

Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Oh, what a feeling, baby
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Say what?
Can't stop now
Just getting started
Everybody clap your hands
Come on
Everybody let's dance

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Baby, baby
Oh, we gonna dance all night

Dancing in the Dark

Written by Bruce Springsteen

Performed by Bruce Springsteen

I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Messages keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look

You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Hey baby

Manic Monday

Written by Prince Rogers Nelson

Performed by The Bangles

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream

But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

Chorus:
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I-don't-have-to-run day
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn't make it on time

'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
When the bus is already there

Chorus

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

Making Love Out of Nothing at All

Written by Jim Steinman
Performed by Air Supply

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you
Everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules
And I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game

But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all

Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all

Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright

I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well it's nothing till I give it to you

I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
I can make you every promise that has ever been made
I can make all your demons be gone

But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all

Bye Bye Blackbird

Written by Mort Dixon and Ray Henderson

Performed by Joe Cocker

Pack up all my cares and woes
Feeling low here I go
Bye, bye blackbird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar sweet so is she
Bye, bye blackbird

No one seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep handing me
Where somebody shines the light
I'll be coming on home tonight
Bye, bye blackbird

Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird

Nobody seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep on handing me
Where somebody shines the light
Yes I'm coming on home tonight
Bye, bye blackbird (Oh lord yeah, I wanna sing about that black bird) Oh

Two American kids growin' up in the heartland

Make us women and men

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah, I say, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids doin' the best they can

Something to Save

Written by George Michael 

Performed by George Michael

If you've got something to say
Why don't you say it?
If you've got something to give
Why don't you give it to me?
Day after day, I have to say it
We're moving further from heaven
And closer to the deep blue sea

'Cause I have no secrets from you
And I have nothing left to hide
And I'm open to all your questions
Why can't you reach inside
Like I have
Like I have for you

And all these games that you play
Don't tell me how a man should be
Some would say if you knew
You wouldn't be here with me
I love you
I still love you
But I guess it's time to let you be

'Cause I have no secrets from you
And I have nothing left to hide
And I'm so tired of all these questions
'Cause maybe you just changed your mind
Like I have
Like I have
Like I have
Like I have

When I was at your doorstep
You told me to look around
Said come in
You and your heart sit down
But you better watch your step
'Cause you're not far from the ground
And one fine day, this all falls down

Like I have

If you've got something to say
Why don't you say it?
If you've got something to give
Why don't you give it to me?
Day after day, I have to say it
If we've got something to save
Why don't we save it?

How Will I KNow

Written by George Robert Merrill / Narada Michael Walden / Shannon Rubicam

Performed by Whitney Houston

There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above, mmm-hmm
Oh, I lose control, can't seem to get enough, uh-huh
When I wake from dreaming, tell me, is it really love?

Ooh, how will I know? (Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know?
How will I know? (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know?

How will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me?
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is so bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?

Oh, wake me, I'm shaking
Wish I had you near me now, uh-huh
Said there's no mistaking
What I feel is really love

Ooh, tell me how will I know? (Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know?
How will I know? (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know?

How will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me?
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is so bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?

If he loves me
If he loves me not
If he loves me
Ooh, if he loves me not
Hey, if he loves me
If he loves me not

Oh, how will I know, how will I know?
How will I know?
Hey, how will I know?

Ooh, how will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me?
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is so bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?

How will I know? (how will I know?)
How will I know?
How will I know? (I say a prayer)
How will I know?
Ooh, how will I know? (I fall in love)
How will I love, hey, how will I know? (I'm asking you)

Steal Away

Performed by Robbie Dupree

C'mon and hold me
Just like you told me
Then show me
What I want to know

Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Into the night
I know it ain't right

Tease me, why don't you please me
Then show me
What you came here for

Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away

Into the night
I know it ain't right
Into the night babe
Make it tonight, oh

I caught you glancing my way
And I know what you're after
(No second chances tonight)

Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away

I know it ain't right
Into the night, babe
Why don't we steal away
Make it tonight
Why don't we steal away

Chantilly Lace

Written by JP Richardson

Performed by JP "Big Bopper" Richardson

Hello, baby
Yeah, this is the Big Bopper speakin'
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh, you sweet thing
Do I what? Will I what?
Oh, baby, you know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a ponytail hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk
Make the world go 'round

Ain't nothing in the world like a big-eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long-necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's a-what I like

What's that, baby?
But, but, but, oh, honey
But, oh baby, you know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a ponytail hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk, and a giggle in her talk, Lord
Make the world go 'round, 'round, 'round

Ain't nothing in the world like a big-eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long-necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's a-what I like

What's that, honey?
Pick you up at eight and don't be late
But baby, I ain't got no money, honey
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh, alright, honey, you know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
Ponytail a-hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk, Lord
Make the world go 'round

Ain't nothing in the world like a big-eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long-necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's a-what I like

No One Like You

Written by Klaus Meine and Rudolph Schenker

Performed by Scorpions

Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since I've been away
Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained
Oh babe, I just need you like never before
I just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

Performed by Aerosmith

That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady

Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She's a long lost love at first bite
Baby, maybe you're wrong
But you know it's all right, that's right

Backstage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody says
"Forgive me if I seem out of line"
Then she whipped out a gun
And tried to blow me away

That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady

So never judge a book by its cover
Or who you gonna love by your lover?
Sayin' love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus
Lord, imagine my surprise

That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady

let me take a peek, dear

(Baby, let me follow you down) turn the other cheek, dear
(Baby, let me follow you down) do me, do me, do me, do me

Oh, what a funky lady
Oh, she like it, like it, like it, like it, yeah
Oh, he was a lady, yeah!

That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady

A Little Respect

Written by Andy Bell and Vince Clarke

Performed by Erasure

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason
Why you make-a-me work so hard

That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

And if I should falter
Would you open you arms out to me?
We can make love not war
And live at peace with our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover?

Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason
You know you make-a-me work so hard

That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

Eye in the Sky

Written by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson

Performed by Alan Parsons Project

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give any more, don't ask me
That's how it goes 'cause part of me knows what you're thinking

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more, believe me
The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusion behind
Don't cry, I ain't changin' my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believin'
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

I am the eye in the sky looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind

I am the eye in the sky looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind

Amazing

Written by George Michael and Jonathan Simon Douglas

Performed by George Michael

I was mixed up when you came to me
Too broke to fix
Said daddy get you gone
I'm missing my baby
Still missing my baby

I was stitched up
By the hands of fate
Said how you gonna make it on your own
If luck is a lady?
Maybe luck is a lady

I was going down
For the third time
My heart was broken
I was not open to your suggestion
I had so many questions
That you just kissed away

Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
That day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing
The way that love can set you free

So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing
I think it's amazing

I think you're amazing

You tried to save me from myself
Said, "Darling, kiss as many as you want
My love's still available
And I know you're insatiable"

We're like victims (victims)
Of the same disease
Look at your big bad daddy, and your mom
And your mom
Was always acting crazy

I was going down
For the third time
My heart was broken
I thought that loving you was out of the question
(Loving you was out of the question)
Then I saw my reflection (reflection)
Saying please don't let this go

Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
That day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing
The way that love can set you free

So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing
I think you're amazing

Celebrate
this life with your baby
I think you should celebrate, yeah
Don't put your love in chains baby
No no, walk in the midday sun
I thought I was dreaming
I think it's amazing
I think you're amazing

I said celebrate the love of the one you're with
(Celebrate the love of the one you're with)
Celebrate, celebrate
(Celebrate the love of the one you're with)

As this life gets colder
And the devil inside
Tells you to give up
(Celebrate the love baby)

Say No to This

Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Performed by Cast of Hamilton

There's nothing like summer in the city
Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty
There's trouble in the air, you can smell it
And Alexander's by himself, I'll let him tell it

I hadn't slept in a week
I was weak, I was awake
You've never seen a bastard orphan more in need of a break
Longing for Angelica
Missing my wife
That's when Miss Maria Reynolds walked into my life, she said

I know you are a man of honor
I'm so sorry to bother you at home
But I don't know where to go, and I came here all alone

She said

My husband's doin' me wrong
Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me
Suddenly he's up and gone
I don't have the means to go on

So I offered her a loan, I offered to walk her home, she said

You're too kind, sir

I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away
She lived a block away, she said

This one's mine, sir

Then I said, "Well, I should head back home"
She turned red, she led me to her bed
Let her legs spread and said

Stay

Hey

Hey

That's when I began to pray
Lord, show me how to say no to this
I don't know how to say no to this

But my God, she looks so helpless
And her body's saying, "Hell, yes"

Whoa

No, show me how to say no to this

I don't know how to say no to this

In my mind, I'm tryin' to go (go, go, go)

Then her mouth is on mine, and I don't say

No, no (say no to this)
No, no (say no to this)
No, no (say no to this)
No, no (say no to this)

I wish I could say that was the last time
I said that last time, it became a pastime
A month into this endeavor I received a letter
From a Mr. James Reynolds, even better, it said

Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me down on their luck
You see, that was my wife who you decided to (fuuuu)

Uh oh, you made the wrong sucker a cuckold
So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled
And hey, you can keep seein' my whore wife
If the price is right, if not I'm telling your wife

I hid the letter and I raced to her place
Screamed, "How could you?" In her face, she said

No, sir

Half dressed, apologetic, a mess, she looked pathetic, she cried

Please don't go, sir

So was your whole story a setup?

I don't know about any letter (stop crying God dammit, get up)

I didn't know any better (I am ruined)

Please don't leave me with him helpless (I am helpless how could I do this?)
Just give him what he wants and you can have me (I don't want you, I don't want you)

Whatever you want, if you pay

You can stay (Lord, show me how to say no to this)
I don't know how to say no to this
But this situation's helpless (helpless)

And her body's screaming, "Hell, yes"

No, show me how to say no to this (whoa)
How can I say no to this?
There is nowhere I can go (go, go, go)

When her body's on mine I do not say (no) yes

Say no to this

Say no to this, I don't say no to this
There is nowhere I can go (go, go, go)
So?

Nobody needs to know

Help!

Written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon

Performed by The Beatles

I need somebody
(Help) not just anybody
(Help) you know I need someone
(Help)

When I was younger (when I was younger), so much younger than today (I never need)
I never needed anybody's help in any way (now these days are gone)
But now these days are gone (these days are gone), I'm not so self-assured (and now I find)
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate your being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?

and now my life has changed in oh so many ways
(My independ-) my independence seems to vanish in the haze
(But every now and then) but every now and then I feel so insecure
(I know that I) I know that I just need you like I've never done before

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
(Now these days are gone) but now these days are gone, I'm not so self-assured
(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate your being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?

Help me, help me, ooh

Take a Break

Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Performed by the cast of Hamilton

Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf (un deux trois quatre)
(Cinq six sept huit neuf)

Good, un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf (un deux trois quatre)
(Cinq six sept huit neuf)

Sept huit neuf
(Sept huit neuf)
Sept huit neuf (sept huit neuf)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

My dearest, Angelica
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
I trust you'll understand the reference to
Another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play
They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly
I'm a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain
Madison is Banquo, Jefferson's Macduff
And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane

And there you are, an ocean away
Do you have to live an ocean away
Thoughts of you subside
Then I get another letter
I cannot put the notion away

Take a break
I am on my way
There's a little surprise before supper
And it cannot wait
I'll be there in just a minute, save my plate
Alexander
Okay, okay

Your son is nine years old today
He has something he'd like to say
He's been practicing all day
Phillip, take it away

Daddy, daddy, look
My name is Phillip
I am a poet
I wrote this poem just to show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes
But you can't write mine (what!)

I practice French
And play piano with my mother (uh-huh)
I have a sister, but I want a little brother (okay)
My daddy's trying to start America's bank
Un deux trois quatre cinq (bravo)

Take a break
Hey, our kid is pretty great
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
Eliza, I've got so much on my plate
We can all go stay with my father
There's a lake I know (I know)
In a nearby park (I'd love to go)
You and I can go when the night gets dark
I will try to get away

My dearest Alexander
You must get through to Jefferson
Sit down with him and compromise
Don't stop 'til you agree
Your fav'rite older sister
Angelica, reminds you
There's someone in your corner all the way across the sea

In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
It changed the meaning, did you intend this
One stroke and you've consumed my waking days
It says

My dearest Angelica
With a comma after dearest, you've written
My dearest, Angelica

Anyway, all this to say
I'm coming home this summer
At my sister's invitation
I'll be there with your fam'ly
If you make your way upstate
I know you're very busy
I know your work's important
But I'm crossing the ocean, and I just can't wait

You won't be an ocean away
You will only be a moment away

Alexander, come downstairs, Angelica's arriving today
Angelica
Eliza

The Schuyler sisters
Alexander
Hi
It's good to see your face

Angelica, tell this man John Adams spends the summer with his family
Angelica, tell my wife John Adams doesn't have a real job anyway
You're not joining us, wait
I'm afraid I cannot join you upstate
Alexander, I came all this way
She came all this way
All this way

Take a break
You know I have to get my plan through Congress
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
I lose my job if I don't get my plan through Congress
We can all go stay with our father

There's a lake I know (I know I'll miss your face)
In a nearby park (screw your courage to the sticking place)
You and I can go (Eliza's right)
Take a break and get away (run away with us for the summer)
Let's go upstate
Where we can stay (we can all go stay with our father)
Look around, look around (if you take your time)
At how lucky we are to be alive right now (you will make your mark)
We can go (Close your eyes and dream)
When the night gets dark
Take a break

I have to get my plan through Congress
I can't stop 'til I get this plan through Congress

Philadelphia Freedom

Written by Elton John and Bernard Taupin

Performed by Elton John

I used to be a rolling stone you know
If the cause was right
I'd leave
To find the answer on the road
I used to be a heart beat for someone
But the times have changed
The less I say the more my work gets done

'Cause I live and breathe
This Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born
I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom
Took me knee high to a man
Yeah
Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

Oh, Philadelphia freedom
Shine on me
I love you
Shine a light
Through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light shine a light
Shine a light won't you shine a light
Philadelphia freedom
I lo o ove you
Yes I do

If you choose to you can live your life alone
Some people choose the city
(Some people choose the city)
Some others
Choose the good old family home
(Pops choose the good old family home)
I like living easy without family ties
('cause it's easy)
Till the whipporwill of freedom
Zapped me
Right between the eyes

'Cause I live and breathe
This Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born
I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom
Took me knee high to a man
Mmmm, mmmm
Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

Oh, Philadelphia freedom
Shine on me
I love you
Shine a light
Through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light shine a light
Shine a light won't you shine a light

Waiting For A Girl Like You

Written by Michael Jones and Louis Grammatico

Performed by Foreigner

So long

I've been looking too hard, I've waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone
When you love someone

It feels so right, so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too

Maybe I'm wrong
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I want be be sure

I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
A love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life

You're so good
When we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word we say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone
Yeah, really love someone

Now, I know it's right
From the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There's no where on earth that I'd rather be
Than holding you, tenderly

I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
A love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life

I've been waiting
waiting for you
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
come into my life

I'll Be Alright Without You

Written by John Friga, Neal Schon and Steve Perry

Performed by Journey

I've been thinking 'bout the times
You walked out on me
There were moments I'd believe, you were there
Do I miss you, or am I lying to my self again
I do these things
(It's all because of you)
I keep holding on, but I'll try
(Try not to think of you)
Love don't leave me lonely

I'll be alright without you
There'll be someone else I keep tellin' myself
I'll be alright without you
Oh love's an empty face, I can't replace
(You don't need it)
People wonderin' why we broke apart
The great pretender here I go again
These things I do
(It's all because of you)
I'll keep holdin' but I'll try
(Try not to think of you)
All I wanted was to hold you

I'll be alright without you
There'll be someone else, I keep tellin' myself
I'll be alright without you
Love's an empty face oh I've got to replace

I'll be alright without you
There'll be someone else, I keep tellin' myself
I'll be alright without you
Oh love's an empty place, I can still see your face
I'll be alright

Baby, baby, baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself
I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad

You came into my heart (baby, baby) so tenderly
With a burning love (baby, baby)
That stings like a bee (baby, baby)
Now that I surrender (baby, baby) so helplessly
You now want to leave (baby, baby)
Ooh, you wanna leave me (baby, baby)

You were a perfect guy
But now that you got me
You wanna leave me behind (baby, baby)

Baby, baby, baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself (baby, baby)
Ooh baby, baby, baby

Crazy On You

Written by Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson and Roger Fisher

Performed by Heart

We may still have time
We might still get by
Every time I think about it I wanna cry
With bombs and the devil
And the kids keep coming
No way to breathe easy
No time to be young

But I tell myself that I'm doing alright
There's nothing left to do at night
But go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

My love is the evening breeze touching your skin
The gentle sweet singing of leaves in the wind
The whisper that calls after you in the night
And kisses your ear in the early light

And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine
And my love, the pleasure's mine
Let me go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

Wild man's world is crying in pain
What you gonna do when everybody's insane?
So afraid of one who's so afraid of you
What you gonna do?

Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

I was a willow last night in my dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
Sang you the song that I heard up above
And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love

Crazy, crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

Open Arms

Written by Ben Barson, Martin Brammer and Colette Van Sertim
Performed by Journey

Lying beside you
Here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind?

We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are
By my side

So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say

So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I want to bring you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say

So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms

Performed by Blue Oyster Cult

Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me

Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isn't my way
Home I'll never be

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight

I'm living for givin' the devil his due
And I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you...

Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time ain't no reason
Got no time to slow

Time everlasting
Time to play b sides
Time ain't on my side
Time I'll never know

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong and what's right
I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through
But I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you...

Burn out the day

My Hometown

Written by Bruce Springsteen

Performed by Bruce Springsteen

I was eight years old
And running with a dime in my hand
To the bus stop to pick
Up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick
And steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair
And say, "Son, take a good look around"
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown"

In '65 tension was running high
At my high school
There was a lot of fights
Between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night
In the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come
To my hometown
To my hometown
To my hometown
To my hometown

Now Main Street's whitewashed windows
And vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody
Wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill
Across the railroad tracks
Foreman says, "These jobs are going, boys
And they ain't coming back
To your hometown
To your hometown
To your hometown
To your hometown"

Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
Talking about getting out
Packing up our bags, maybe heading south
I'm thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel
And said, "Son, take a good look around
This is your hometown"

Sultans of Swing

Written by Mark Knopfler

Performed by Dire Straits

You get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ring

Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
But the horns, they blowing that sound

Way on down south
Way on down south in London town

You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords
But it's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
Yes then an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Saving it up for Friday night

With the Sultans
With the Sultans of Swing

And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll

And the Sultans
Yeah, the Sultans played Creole, Creole

Then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
"Goodnight, now it's time to go home"
And he makes it fast with one more thing

"We are the Sultans
We are the Sultans of Swing"

Operator (That's Not the Way it Feels)

Written by Jim Croce

Performed by Jim Croce

Operator, well, could you help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
Guy, she said she knew well and sometimes hated

Isn't that the way they say it goes?
But let' s forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I' m fine and to show

I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels

Operator, oh, could you help me place this call?
'Cause I can' t read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me

But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show

I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels
No, no, no, no, that's not the way it feels

Operator, well, let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Oh, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime

But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show

I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels

Take It Easy

Written by Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne

Performed by The Eagles

Well, I'm a-runnin' down the road tryna loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
Take it easy

Well, I'm a-standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in
So take it easy

Well, I'm a-runnin' down the road tryna loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find

Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

A Pirate Looks at Forty

Written by Jimmy Buffett
Performed by Jimmy Buffett

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of them dreams, most of them dreams

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishing, got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends

I go for younger women, lived with several a while
Though I ran them away, they'd come back one day
Still could manage to smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

Janie's Got a Gun

Written by Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton and Steven Victor Tallarico

Performed by Aerosmith

Dum, dum, dum, honey, what have you done?
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of my gun
Dum, dum, dum, honey, what have you done?
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun

What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They said when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin', now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run

Tell me now it's untrue, what did her daddy do?
He jacked a little bitty baby, the man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under the lightning and
The thunder knew that someone had to stop the rain

Run away, run away from the pain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run

What did her daddy do?
It's Janie's last I.O.U
She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain
She said, "'Cause nobody believes me, the man was such a sleaze"
He ain't never gonna be the same

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run

Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Because Janie's got a gun

Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun

Janie's got a gun

Karma Chameleon

Performed by Culture Club

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listened to your lies, would you say?

I'm a man without conviction (a man without conviction)
I'm a man who doesn't know (a man who doesn't know)
How to sell a contradiction (to sell a contradiction)
You come and go, you come and go

Karma, karma, karma, karma
Karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Didn't hear your wicked words, every day
And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say

That my love was an addiction (my love was an addiction)
When we cling, our love is strong (we cling, our love is strong)
When you go, you're gone forever (you go, you're gone forever)
You string along, you string along

Karma, karma, karma, karma
Karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Every day is like survival (survival)
You're my lover, not my rival (my lover, not my rival)
Every day is like survival (survival)
You're my lover, not my rival (my lover, not my rival)

I'm a man without conviction (a man without conviction)

How to sell a contradiction (to sell a contradiction)

You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold and green

Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams

Forever in Blue Jeans

Written by Neil Diamond and Richard Winchell Bennett

Performed by Neil Diamond

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans

Honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you'd pardon me, I'd like to say
We'd do okay forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the fire
All alone, you and I
Nothing around but the sound
Of my heart and your sighs

Money talks
But it can't sing and dance and it can't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans, babe

And honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you'll pardon me, I'd like to say
We'd do okay, forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the fire
All alone, you and I
Nothing around but the sound
Of my heart and your sighs

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans

And if you'd pardon me, I'd like to say
We'd do okay forever in blue jeans, babe

And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans, babe

Rocky Mountain High

Written by John Denver and Mike Taylor

Performed by John Denver

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
Left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
Might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast, it don't last for long

But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once, he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
You talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high

Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Though he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky Mountain high

It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire, everybody's high
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
Doo-be-dee (yeah)

All Out of Love

Written by Clive Davis and Graham Russell

Performed by Air Supply

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you 'til it hurts
I know you're hurt too, but what else can we do?
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know
Doesn't really know

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long, lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too?
Does the feeling seem oh so right?
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on?
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone
I'll be gone

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late, I know I was so wrong

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late, I know I was so wrong

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
(I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you, I know you were right)

Hey Nineteen

Written by Carl Becker and Jay Fagen

Performed by Steely Dan

Way back when in '67
I was the dandy of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston
So young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale
Where the hell am I?

Hey, nineteen
No, we can't dance together (We can't dance together)
No, we can't talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down

Hey, nineteen
That's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember the Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growin' old

Hey, nineteen
No, we got nothin' common
No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
(Say it again)
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all

She Don't Know She's Beautiful

Written by Bob Mcdill and Paul Howard Harrison

Performed by Sammy Kershaw

We go out to a party somewhere
The moment we walk in the door
People stop and everybody stares
She don't know what they're staring for

She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so

There she goes just walking down the street
And someone lets a whistle out
A girl like her she just can't see
What the fuss is all about

And she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so

Morning comes and her hair's all a mess
That's when she thinks she looks her worst
It's times like this she don't know why
I can't take my eyes off her

'Cause she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so

Praying for Time

Written by George Michael

Performed by George Michael

Oh-oh, yeah
Mmm
To-do-do, oh-oh

These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers 

This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much but we'll take our chances
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us all out to play
Turned His back and all God's children
Crept out the back door

And it's hard to love
There's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say it's much, too much, too late
Well, maybe we should all be praying for time

To-do-do, oh-oh
Mmm, whoa-whoa, yeah

These are the days of the empty hand
Oh, you hold on to what you can
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there is over here

So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he can't come back 'cause he has no children
To come back for?

It's hard to love
There's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time

To-do-do
Oh-oh, yeah
