The warmth of your love
Like the warmth of the sun
And this will be our year,
Took a long time to come.

Don
Now the darkness is gone
And this will be our year,
Took a long time to come.

And I won
Up when I was down.
And I won

You gave me faith to go on,
Now we
And we
This will be our year,
Took a long time to come.

The warmth of your smile,
Smile for me little one.
And this will be our year,
Took a long time to come.

You don
All your worry days are gone.
And this will be our year,
Took a long to come

And I won
Up when I was down.
And I won

You gave me faith to go on,
Now we
And we
This will be our year,
Took a long time to come.
Yeah, we
And this will be our year,
Took a long time to....

David Byrne - Ain't Got So Far To Go

I am young, but I remember
It was not so long ago
In a line so bright and shiny
This is how the story goes
In the kingdom, there was chaos
And the land was filled with fear
There was hatred, there was envy
In between the rich and poor
Oh the water's rising
How will we get to the other shore?
Many hearts are broken
But we ain't got so far to go
No we ain't got so far to go

In a den of prostitution
To a girl both frail and weak
A child was born who had no father
So she left it on the street
But the child was raised by strangers
Who loved and fed and taught him well
And when he saw the land in darkness
Something changed inside himself
Oh the water's rising
How will we get to the other shore?
Many hearts are broken
But they ain't got so far to go
No we ain't got so far to go

Then it came, the revolution
And the child was filled with fire
And he led us onto victory
And he seemed so strong and wise
But the big fish ate the small ones
It's the way of history
And all the while
Once came for vengeance
I return in mystery
I return in mystery

I miss you more than ever
This is not where I belong
When I see my baby dancing
I will know my work is done
When you hear that guitar playing
You won't have so far to go
Won't have so far to go
'Cause we ain't got so far to go

I've waited too long to have you hide in the back of me
I've cheated so long i wonder how you keep track of me

You can never be strong
You can only be free
I've never asked for the truth
But you don't owe that to me

I've entered a game of pricks with knives in the back of me
Can't play it for long, you know
Meanwhile they're attacking me

I climb up on the house
Weep to water the trees
And when you come follow me down
I'll give your heart my disease

You can never be strong
You can only be free
I've never asked for the truth
But you don't owe that to me
I've never asked for the truth
But you don't owe that to me
I've never asked for the truth
But you don't owe that to me

The morning sun's about to break
I'm looking in as you create someone
You lift your head and brush your teeth
And make your bed as if you won't sleep again
You fix your hair and tie your shoes
And tuck your shirt and now you feel new

The glass is full, the glass is broke
And every day dissolves and there's no hope
Of ever leaving this temporary life
Of ever leaving this temporary life

You may ask yourself, "Is there anyone so alone?"
But there's no beep before the dial-tone
When you pick it up to see who called
If there is, it's probably your mom

But, oh, the rising sun brings little cheer
To this city with the stolen name
And you're wondering whose bright idea
It was to pack your things and leave your friends
And move down here

(I miss you, I miss you)
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
[x3]

(I miss you, I miss you) [x4]

Down in the mouth and not half right
But I can feel the changes comin on
Bloom like flowers in bluest night
Bloom like the sunlight in my song

dum dumb dum dumb dum dum dumb bay dumb dumb
Move on move on
dum dumb dum dumb dum dum dumb bay

All of the words you can't say right
Burn my ass with anger to no end
I love my country so much man
Like an exasperating friend

dum dumb dum dumb dum dum dumb bay dumb dumb
Move on move on
dum dumb dum dumb dum dum dumb bay

now now now now now
now now now now now

Yeah, I believe the war is wrong
Don't believe that nations can be steered
Lead the world by smarts and compassion
By example, not coercion, force and fear

dum dumb dum dumb dum dum dumb bay dumb dumb
Move on move on
dum dumb dum dumb dum dum dumb bay

Ads for the army on cable
Between ads for soda and skin cream
What about the kids you have signed up?
Do you really love them as you claim?

now now now now now
now now now now now

dum dumb dum dumb dum dum dumb bay dumb dumb
Move on move on
dum dumb dum dumb dum dum dumb bay

Down in the mouth and not half right
But I can feel the changes comin on
Bloom like the flowers in bluest night
Bloom like the sunlight in my song

Fire-breathin', oil-burnin'
It's so sad, your kids are learnin'
All of the hate you preach
All of the lies you teach
They're not religious when
Their mind's a poison pen

I don't wish you harm

The corporate-climbin', dollar-signin' right
Your crusade is just a losin' fight
You can judge anyone
You can carry a gun
I don't care where you pray
You can say what you say

I don't wish you harm
Read a book on calm
Calm
Calm
Calm

There are many things I'm tired of
That's what she said
So she took out a knife
And said off with my head
What's the use in knowing that the rest of you's dead
What good is a brain if it's all you got left

There's a part that you have missed
Don't need proof that I exist
You don't know I'm far away
From those awful things you say

What you put at the top of the neck to replace the skull
A balloon that you found at the shopping mall
Took out a pen, drew on a happy face
Now she walks around like her own parade

There are words you'll never hear
You've got poison in your ear
You don't know I'm far away
From those awful things you say

Come on I want a new reason to feel
A way to know that all I see is real
Free from all your toxic melody
Free from all the sadness that I see

(Carrie's part:
Are you sick of your skin
Here's a bag to bury you in
You've got a lot of nerve
And you'll get what you deserve)

Sing me something good this time
Tired of wicked lullabies
You don't know I'm far away
From those awful things you say

(I'm a living time bomb, baby
Come light my fuse
Go ahead and call me crazy
But that's overused.)

As I raise my head to broadcast my objection
As your latest triumph draws the final straw
Who died and lifted you up to perfection?
And what silenced me is written into law

I can't believe where circumstance has thrown me
And I turn my head away
If I look I'm not sure that I could face you
Not again. Not today. Not today.

If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow
And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge
There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected
There's a voice in me that says you will not win

And if I ignore the voice inside
Raise a half glass to my home
But it's there that I am most afraid
And forgetting doesn't hold. It doesn't hold.

Now I don't believe and I never did
That two wrongs make a right
If the world were filled with the likes of you
Then I'm putting up a fight. I'm putting up a fight.
Putting up a fight. Make it right. Make it right.

Now love cannot be called into question
Forgiveness is the only hope I hold
And love - love will be my strongest weapon
I do believe that I am not alone

For this fear will not destroy me
And the tears that have been shed
It's knowing now where I am weakest
And the voice in my head. In my head.

Then I raise my voice up higher
And I look you in the eye
And I offer love with one condition
With conviction, tell me why.
Tell me why.
Tell me why.
Look me in the eye.
Tell me why.

There's a voice on the phone
telling what had happened,
some kind of confusion
more like a disaster.
And it wondered how you were left unaffected,
but you had no knowledge.
No, the chemicals covered you.
So a jury was formed
as more liquor was poured.
No need for conviction,
they're not thirsting for justice.
But I slept with the lies I keep inside my head.
I found out I was guilty.
I found out I was guilty.
But I won't be around for the sentencing,
cause I'm leaving
on the next airplane.
And though I know that my actions are impossible to justify
they seem adequate to fill up my time.
But if I could talk to myself
like I was someone else,
well then maybe I could take your advice,
and I wouldn't act like such an asshole all the time.

There's a film on the wall,
makes the people look small
who are sitting beside it,
all consumed in the drama.
They must return to their lives once the hero has died.
They will drive to the office
stopping somewhere for coffee,
where the folk singers, poets and playwrights convene,
dispensing their wisdom,
Oh dear amateur orators.

They will detail their pain
In some standard refrain.
They will recite their sadness
Like it's some kind of contest.
Well, if it is, I think I am winning it,
All beaming with confidence
as I make my final lap.
The gold medal gleams
so hang it around my neck
cause I am deserving it:
the champion of idiots.

But a kid carries his walkman on that long bus ride to Omaha.
I know a girl who cries when she practices violin.
Cause each note sounds so pure, it just cuts into her,
and then the melody comes pouring out her eyes.
Now to me, everything else, it just sounds like a lie.

Boys and girls in cars
Dogs and birds on lawns
From here I can touch the sun
Yeah yeah

Put your jackets on
I feel we're being born
The Tropic of Capricorn is below
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

We stall above the pole
Still your face is young
As we feel our weight return
Yeah yeah

A trail of shooting stars
The horses call of storm
Because the air contains the charge
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The radio is on
And Houston knows the score
Can you feel it?
We're almost home
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The crew compartment's breaking up
The crew compartment's breaking up
The crew compartment's breaking up
The crew compartment's breaking up
The crew compartment's breaking up
The crew compartment's breaking up
The crew compartment's breaking up

Uh, hmm
Hurry up a bit
Yeah, yeah

Chorus (3x):

I like the way you do it, when you do it
When you doin, what you doin

Check this out right here, son
We about to move to make you feel some
A lot of positive vibrations to build from
'Cause all I wanna do is lose some and win some
Have a little of prosperity and then some
Livin my life handsome, has always been a dream but
Now it's time to really achieve by all means (Bust it)
I keep my shit, plus thirty in between
When an arm reach out to grab the supreme
'Cause I won't stop, and AP won't stop
And Tab won't stop until we reach the top
That means we won't quit, so we stay thick so you can enjoy it
I know you like the way it's goin down, honey, honey
I know you like the milky-mellow sound, honey, honey
Doin this ain't all about money, money
I know you like the way I sound, right, right

Chorus (4x)

As I enter the room I absorb the mood
Positive vibe supplied by a positive crew
And negativity exist and you must acknowledge
You can be intelligent and never go to college
'Cause the way we live in society
It ain't really the way that it's supposed to be
And don't get close to me if you're contaminated
Take a picture of your soul and get it laminated
Put them in your wallet next to your money
Money represents your whole and soul represents your honey
Ain't got honey then you ain't got bees
And if you ain't got no money I'ma still MC
Then empty L-O-V-E all over the track
Once you R-E-D then you never go back
'Til the end of studio with the Peas as Black
With Adam, Taboo, and alligator APL De AP

Chorus (4x)

I wanna travel the world and stop on every city
Rejuvenate your burnt out sea put down your Philly for a sec
Close your eyes and don't fret
Listen to the audible sounds and just let
Your soul feel the free feelin
Reprovide you with the ride, free fallin
To make your heart beat, skip, hipnotize you and
APL take you on a trip where your mind's at ease
Forget ballin 'cause I won't quit, and Will won't quit
And Tab won't quit so you can enjoy it
That means we won't stop
And I won't stop until we reach the rop
I'd rather be ready for the future
Do it for yourself 'cause no one else will suit ya
I juxtapose for mine to maintain
And segregate myself from evil and pain

Chorus (8x)

Oh who has heard the great commotion, motion motion
all the country through?
It is the ball a-rolling on
for Tippecanoe and Tyler too
and with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used up man
and with him we'll beat Little Van

Sure, let 'em talk about hard cider (cider cider)
and log cabins too
't'will only help to speed the ball
for Tippecanoe and Tyler too
and with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used up man
and with him we'll beat Little Van

Like the rush of mighty waters (waters waters)
onward it will go
And of course we'll bring you through
for Tippecanoe and Tyler too
and with him we'll beat Little Van, Van
Van is a used up man
and with him we'll beat Little Van

The secert rulers of the world
Have stolen my girl
The whisked her away in a black limousine
And that was the last of her I'd ever see

'Cause they knew that her heart was the purest of pure
Through unbearable suffering she would endure
When she told of the lies and the hatred the spread
And how blood of blind children was used in their bread
So she opened her mouth to the cold lizard tongue
That was speaking in code of the work to be done
To be sure that the truthful are made to look mad
And the starving feed ashes, for which they are glad
'Cause her brain was a camera, they just had to look
And they sensed she was wise from the pictures she took
Which were not unlike anything you've ever seen
To be drowning in honey, awake in a dream

The secret rulers of the world
They have stolen my girl
The whisked her away in the black limousine
And that was the last of her I'd ever seen
And that was the last of her I'd ever seen

I got a date with the night burnin down my finger
Gonna catch the kids dry gonna walk on water
Buying out the fight we're sweatin in the winter
Both Thighs squeeze tight
Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke
Don tell me to fix her don tell me to fix her
Just take a bite no hangin no picture
Flyin out my sight droppin brides at the altar
Both Thighs squeeze tight
Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off off
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off
I'll set you I'll set it off off off
Buying out the fight gon walk on water
Gon catcha squeeze dry
Gonna bend my finger
We're sweatin in the winter
Both Thighs squeeze tight
Both Thighs squeeze tight

Slow down
There's gonna be trouble
You're gonna forget
What you're doing

One false move, baby
Suddenly everything's ruined

Hold on
You're gonna be sorry
You're gonna regret
What you're doing

One false move, baby
Suddenly everything's ruined

And you ought to know
You ought to know
There's only one way this can go

You ought to know
You ought to know
All of the ups and downs, the highs and lows

Slow down
There's gonna be trouble
You're gonna forget
What you're doing

One false move, baby
Suddenly everything's ruined

One false move, baby
Suddenly everything's ruined

If you were here, baby we'd increase the dose.
There was no fear in my room when we got close.
Call me anytime you've got a ghost.
You're the only person in the world I feel that way about.
And if you move off to the side, I'll get swept back out

Where it's cold but not that deep, cause your legs grow.
Cold but not that deep, cause your legs grow.

And there's a light that rises up from the bottom of the lake.
And its beam has hit me hard
Now I'm wide awake
Where it's cold but not that deep, cause your legs grow
Cold but not that deep, cause your legs grow
Cold but not that deep, cause your legs grow
Cold but not that deep, cause your legs grow.

If you were here, baby we'd increase the dose.
There was no fear in my room when we got close.
Call me anytime you've got a ghost.

Her name is Yoshimi
she's a black belt in karate
working for the city
she has to discipline her body

'Cause she knows that
it's demanding
to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Those evil-natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
she's gotta be strong to fight them
so she's taking lots of vitamins

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

I'm dreaming on a night train
It's only been a light rain, and a darkened sky and a starry night
I'm humming on a cold train
I'm singing about the wreck of the Old 97

CHORUS:
And I'm walking through this city
I'll tell my story to the rain
And I won't come back no matter what you say

I'm feeling no pain
I don't care if I ever see your face again
I'm riding on a Northern Line
I got my money - but I got a lot of time to spend

CHORUS:
And I'm walking through this city
I'll tell my secret to the sky
And I won't come back no matter what you say

And I'm walking through this city
Yeah I'll tell my story to the rain
And I won't come back no matter what you say
No I won't come back no matter what you say

Sam Stone came home,
To his wife and family
After serving in the conflict overseas.
And the time that he served,
Had shattered all his nerves,
And left a little shrapnel in his knee.
But the morphine eased the pain,
And the grass grew round his brain,
And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back.

Chorus:
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Don't stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
Mmm....

Sam Stone's welcome home
Didn't last too long.
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing
When he got that empty feeling
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes...

Repeat Chorus:

Sam Stone was alone
When he popped his last balloon
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request
While the room smelled just like death
With an overdose hovering in the air
But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
But trade his house that he bought on the G, I. Bill
For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill

Repeat Chorus

I got your letter today
And I miss you oh so much here
I can't wait to see you all
And I'm counting the days, dear
I still believe that there's gold
At the end of the world
And I'll come home to Illinois
On the day after tomorrow

It is so hard and it's cold here
And I'm tired of taking orders
And I miss ol' Rockford town
Up by the Wisconsin border
What I miss you won't believe
Shoveling snow and raking leaves
And my plane will touch down
On the day after tomorrow

I close my eyes every night
And I dream that I can hold you
They fill us full of lies everyone buys
About what it means to be a soldier
I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
About all the blood that's been spilled
Will God on his throne
Get me back home
On the day after tomorrow

You can't deny, the other side
Don't want to die anymore than we do
What I'm trying to say is don't they pray
To the same God that we do?
And tell me, how does God choose?
Who's prayers does he refuse?
Who turns the wheel, who throws the dice
On the day after tomorrow

I'm not fighting for justice
I am not fighting for freedom,
I am fighting for my life
And another day in the world here
I just do what I've been told
We're just the gravel on the road
And only the lucky ones come home
On the day after tomorrow

And the summer, it too will fade
And with it brings the winter's frost, dear
And I know we too are made
Of all the things that we have lost here
I'll be twenty-one today,
I've been saving all my pay
And my plane will touch down
On the day after tomorrow

And my plane
It will touch down
On the day after tomorrow

I'm floating in a black balloon
I must make it through this afternoon
Shame shifting shadow down drifting
Way out of town
And all you ladies and you gentleman
Unhappy where you could have been
Drive people like you drive a car
Till you don't know where you are
You don't impress me
I'm sorry that you're chained to the ground
But no big brother is gonna bring me down now
Rim's rolling now with all his might
Rain drops falling through a starry night
Sunrise on a choppy crusade
Waving back at you not me
You don't impress me
You can't be satisfied anyhow
And now big brother is gonna bring me back down
