Empire in my Mind
The Wallflowers

I have no love somewhere in time
I’ve been lifted up
I’ve looked honor in the eyes
I have no reason; I have no rhyme
I cannot deny there’s a darkness that’s inside
I am guilty by design and now I realize
The temptation’s made me blind
To the empire in my mind

There is no distance that I don’t see
I do have a will
No limit to my reach
I wish I would; I wish I might
See a line tonight
Separating wrong from right
Some are only born to try
And maybe that’s the reason why
I am afraid someday I’ll find
There is no empire in my mind.



Three Ways
The Wallflowers

There’s three ways off a burning bridge
You pray for rain or you learn how to swim
There’s three ways off of every burning bridge
But if you can’t find strength and you quit
Then you can just burn up and sink
Then you’ll drift away
Real slow
Down into the ground.



Sleepwalker
The Wallflowers

Cupid, don't draw back your bow
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
I'll never be your valentine
The sleepwalker in me
And God only know that I've tried

Let me in, let me drown or learn how to swim
Just don't leave me at the window
I could be the one to be your next best friend
You may need someone to hold you

Sleepwalker, take this knife
You may see someone tonight
You'd be the one that saves my life
When I'm dead asleep dreaming.




Born to Die
Lana Del Rey

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Cause you and I –
We were born to die.



Witness
The Wallflowers


Lesson number one in homicide
is emotional murder is no crime

Sticks and stones, baby, break your bones
But the names, in here, can kill
We'd let you leave
but no one else wants you
Your ransom was not made
You ain't got to stand up tall
But baby, you must stand up

You come around here,
you'd better bring a witness
Everyone in here's on the guest list
Now we've never been so impressed
Keep one eye open whenever you kiss.




Million Dollar Man
Lana Del Rey


I don't know how you convince them and get them, boy
I don't know what you do, you're unbelievable
And I don't know how you get over, get over
Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you

One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
You look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?



Everybody Out of the Water
The Wallflowers

That bell that you hear
That’s hell ringing in your ears
I fear, my dear
This ain’t a warning…

Now I’m looking up
And the shit keeps coming
Like shooting ducks in a barrel of honey
Got to learn how to pray
Love won’t be enough
Admit it now, your information sucks
As I slip down in
I think of us someplace high on a mountain
Smoke clears, fog lifts
Little by little we rebuild again
Till then…



Boats and Birds
Gregory and the Hawk

If you be my star
I'll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine

But you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by.



Sinnerman
Nina Simone

So I run to the Lord, please hide me Lord
Don't you see me praying?
Don't you see me down here praying?

But the Lord said, "Go to the devil"
The Lord said, "Go to the devil"
He said, "Go to the devil"
All on that day

So I ran to the devil, he was waiting
I ran to the devil, he was waiting
Ran to the devil, he was waiting
All on that day.



Videotape
Radiohead

When Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
And I have it all here
In red blue green
In red blue green

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
So I'm talking to you before it's too late

No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.



Diamonds and Rust
Joan Baez

I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall.



Viva La Vida
Coldplay

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world.



Violet Hill
Coldplay

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me, won't you let me know?

Bury me in armour
When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home, it unfolds
And if you love me, won't you let me know?

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
Said, "If you love me, won't you let me know?
If you love me, won't you let me know?"



Bleeders
The Wallflowers

I guess I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
I did the best I could I guess
But everything just bleeds
They say you're only sad and lonely
And no one is impressed

I sent it off in a letter:
"I need something better
Than a nail and a hammer
To put me back together."
But this ain't my first ride
It ain't my last try
Just got to keep moving on
Got to keep this together
Maybe next time is never.
