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. |
