Stand Up lyrics - Five For Fighting
If you write a tragedy
where you can't be saved
If your dreams put you asleep
Cause your bed is made
Stand Up Stand Up
Stand Up Stand Up
Cause you're falling down
If you have to paint your face
and you're not a clown
If you're naked lost in space
And all you wears a frown
Stand Up Stand Up
Stand Up Stand Up
Cause you're falling down
Stand Up Stand Up
Stand Up Stand Up
Before you hit the ground
There is no perfect man
We are just who I am
If you don't understand
Well don't give up
Cause one and one is two
Enough to get us through
If I can count on you
To just stand up
Can anybody out there hear me, hear me
Can anybody out there hear me, hear me
Stand Up Stand Up
Cause you're falling down
Stand Up Stand Up
Before you hit the ground
Stand Up Stand Up
Cause you're falling down
Stand Up Stand Up
Before you hit the ground
If you have to paint your face
And you're not a clown
If you're naked lost in space
And the world lets you down
If you write a tragedy
where you can't be saved
What If lyrics - Five For Fighting
Threw a line out to pull you to me
If you don't get it, then you don't get it
You made your mind up before you knew me
If you don't get it, then you don't get it
Take my hand for a minute
We're in it - imagine all the pain that might be forgiven
What if I had your heart?
What if you wore my scars?
How would we break down?
What if you were me and what if I were you?
What if you told my lies?
What if I cried with your eyes?
Could anyone keep us down?
What if you were me? What if I were you?
Had a dream of a new tomorrow
If you don't get it, then you don't get it
I took a step hoping you might follow
If you don't get it, then you don't get it
Take a chance for a minute. Jump in it
Imagine if you asked yourself for a minute
What if I had your heart?
What if you wore my scars?
How would we break down?
What if you were me and what if I were you?
What if you told my lies?
What if I cried with your eyes?
Could anyone keep us down?
What if you were me? And what if I were you?
To the ones who make it better, find to get out, gotta touch the other side
What if all that it took to save our lives together was to rise up...
(Hey!)
What if I had your heart?
What if you wore my scars?
How would we break down (break down)?
And what if I were you?
What if I told your lies?
What if you cried with my eyes?
Could anyone keep us down?
What if you were me? What if I were you?
What if your hand was my hand?
Could you hold on or let go?
What if your life was my life?
Can you love what we don't know?
What if your hand was my hand?
Could we hold on or let go?
What if your life was my life?
And what if I were you?
Heaven Knows lyrics - Five For Fighting
There's no time to waste
In this famous goodbye
There's Angels landing on the shore
So lay down with me
Let the river run dry
It's Sunday in the six-day war
Smile darling don't be sad
Stars are going to shine tonight
Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you
Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you
There's a children's choir in perfect parade
Singing like they found the Lord
I can't say it they'll let me in
But we can dance the way we did
High above up the seventh floor
Smile darling don't be sad
Stars are going to shine tonight
Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you
Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you
And how I loved you
Father hear your Son
Do the good die young
Did I raise you up, raise you up
Make you Proud
Let the sun go out
Tear the bridges down
I'm on my way, on my way
I'm going home
Home
Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you
Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you
Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you
Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you
Heaven Knows
Down lyrics - Five For Fighting
Hey good looking
What you got cooking
I can see but I can't find the light
Please forgive me
If I don't have a smile to smile tonight
Don't you know
Life ain't pictures and words
And I don't care if you know that I'm hurting cause
I wont let you get me down
I wont let you get me down
This time around
I see you're happy
Out there laughing
Must be nice to have your sweet revenge
I might be crazy
But I think I won this in the end, the end
Don't you know I can build my own house
You can try, but you can't throw me out because
I wont let you get me down
I wont let you get me down
They say you don't get what you want
But you get what you need
I don't know who they are
Or how they believe it
The truths in the tears
The fire and the fears
I'm standing on
I wont let you get me down
I wont let you get me down
I wont let you get me down
I wont let you get me down
This time around
I Don't Want Your Love lyrics - Five For Fighting
If I lived so long to be the last man alive
My heart would never change
If I had the choice between a million eyes
I'd see you just the same
It's no secret you're the one for me
It's obvious to all
But, I don't want your love
I don't want your love
You say that providence brought me to you
That you would be my wife
Together we could start a family
And live a decent life
There's nothing more I'd rather say to you
Than swear the words I do
But, I don't want your love
No, I don't want your love
I would kill
I would die for you
I always will be true
If I could fix this thing you know that I would
But, only you can do
Cause it don't matter how much you love me
Or how I might love you
I don't want your love
I don't want your love
I don't want your love
My love
Until you love you too
Road To You lyrics - Five For Fighting
I can't believe how I love you
You'll be the last
You'll be the last turn I take
All of the signs are in color
Baby, I'm on my way
I hear a song on the radio
And it sounds like something I miss
But, I don't need those old melodies
With you on my lips
I was born a fool on the run
I've broken hearts and lost at love
There's not one thing I would change or undo
Cause all my life's been a road to you
Watching you walk down the aisle
Every step, every step takes a year
Baby, you can count on the man
That's standing right here
Today is the way to forever
I made a map to find you when you're alone
Wherever we've been don't matter
We're this close to home
I was born a fool on the run
I've broken hearts and lost at love
There's not one thing I would change or undo
Cause all my life's been a road to you
Road to you
Road to you
I was born a fool on the run
I've broken hearts and lost at love
There's not one thing I would change or undo
Cause all my life's been a road to you
I was born a fool on the run
I've broken hearts and lost at love
There's not one thing I would change or undo
Cause all my life's been a road to you
She's My Girl lyrics - Five For Fighting
She turns wine to water
She's nobody's daughter
A stranger to the lovers at her feet
She makes potions between kisses
And wishes on the sun
Because the stars late at night she can't see
She's my best friend
She's standing right beside me
I've waited my whole life
For somebody to find me
I know you don't like her
But she's my girl
She's better than ice cream
I know you know what I mean
Better than the real thing
She can make my heart scream
She's my girl
She's my girl
There's beauty in disaster
You can just ask her
But you wont like what you will hear
Her name has stitches between letters
Goes on forever
In a skyline rainbow made of tears
She's my best friend
She's standing right beside me
I've waited my whole life
For somebody to find me
I know you don't like her
But she's my girl
She's better than ice cream
I know you know what I mean
Better than the real thing
She can make my heart scream
She's my girl
She's my girl
We all need someone to love
Fire to touch
Reasons to rise above the cold
In a paralyzed world
It's not enough to pretend alone
She's my girl
She's better than ice cream
I know you know what I mean
Better than the real thing
She can make my heart scream
She's my girl
She's my best friend
She's standing right beside me
I've waited my whole life
For somebody to find me
I know you don't like her
But she's my girl
She's better than ice cream
I know you know what I mean
Better than the real thing
She can make my heart scream
She's my girl
She's my girl
She's my girl
Symphony Lane lyrics - Five For Fighting
Symphony Lane is a private court
That runs away from you
Symphony Lane is made out of notes
Silent as they're true
Symphony Lane is a shaded drag
With one house on the block
Park your car at the violins
Leave your heart unlocked
It's all around you, oh
It's all around you, oh
It's all around you
Overtures
Symphony Lane has sidewalks of gold
Providing no escape
Symphony Lane is one hundred years old
Born just yesterday
She's all around you, oh
It's all around you, oh
It's all around you
Overtures
It's all around you, oh
It's all around you, oh
It's all around you
Overtures
Symphony Lane is a one-way road
Wide enough for two
Symphony Lane is the only hope
I'm holding out for you
Symphony Lane is straight up ahead
Right around the bend
Think too fast
Drive too slow
You'll miss her once again
You'll miss her once again
You'll miss her once again
You'll Never Change lyrics - Five For Fighting
I know you have big plans ahead
Alterations
Filling up your mind
A little patience
Before you start to sand these corners
I'm warning you
I know you've put down
Our second chapter
But as an actor
Darling read between the lines
Before you take up the role of the reformer
You'll never change
You'll never change
Change me
You know I have this deep desire
For how you're wired
Intrigues me to no end
And I'm willing to do what I can do
Push the boundaries
Hang your picture
Mix your mixture
But don't expect to fix the color, the color of my eyes
You'll never change
You'll never change
Change me
Is it so wrong to be strong
Change
Change
You'll never change
You'll never change
Change me
I know you have big plans ahead
Your Man lyrics - Five For Fighting
Let me be clear
Look in my eyes
Don't ask me why
They've gone from brown to blue
Let yourself in
Don't be surprised
In what you find
All that you see is true
I don't want to have a horse in the running
I don't want to spread the news of the storm that is a coming
I don't want to be a saint on your shoulder
I don't want to be young
Be another day older
I don't want to be the son of a better man
I don't want to love you any more than the best I can
I just want to be your man
Old fairy tales built up on lies
Meant to disguise what we have left to lose
Turn me to stone
Offer me twice
Into the fire
Into the fire I choose
I don't want to have a horse in the running
I don't want to spread the news of the storm that is a coming
I don't want to be a saint on your shoulder
I don't want to be young
Be another day older
I don't want to be the son of a better man
I don't want to love you any more than the best I can
I just want to be your man
Your man
Daddy was a fool when he walked out on the wire
Waited for the wind, the wind was on fire
She took him at his word and they never turned back
Never turned back again
I don't want to be a saint on your shoulder
I don't want to be young
Another day older
I don't want to be the son of a better man
I don't want to love you any more than the best I can
I just want, I want, I want to be your man (I wanna be your man)
I don't want to be a horse in the running
But I could spread the news, a new day is coming
All I need to find is the place on your shoulder
Baby we could grow young, yeah we could grow older
We could have a son who's a better man
With baby blues eyes
Don't you understand
I just want to be your man
The Day I Died lyrics - Five For Fighting
I woke up
You next to me
You said Good Morning
Are you Free
The sun crept in
For one last time
I was alive the day I died
The clock struck noon
But did not care
I saw a child
In my old chair
A shadow fell across your face
But all the years
Could not erase
I was alive, I was alive
You pulled me close
I held you tight
Though my smiles told a few lies
I was alive the day I died
I was the first to see a star
It seemed so close
It was so far
Wind started to roar
Screamed time to go
You know all you need
You need all you know
I was alive, I was alive
You pulled me close
I held you tight
And though our smiles told a few lies
I was alive the day I died
Oh Sweet Angel you call
Oh Sweet Angel you call
Oh Sweet Angel
White went black
Black went white
Universe cracked
I saw the light
You called my name
I did not respond
But I heard you well
Carried you on
Midnight came and I was gone
The planet shrugged and moved along
A few people noticed and sang my songs
I was alive the day I died
I was alive the day I died
Slice lyrics - Five For Fighting
There was a time a long, long time ago
Chevys and levees played on the radio
No cell phones, just 20,000 lights
Swaying on a saturday night alright
Can you imagine that slice of time
Rock and roll was young
People stood in line
To hear music that played into their lives
That you could carry till the day you die
Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie
Have you read my blog today
300 million little USA's
Your doorstep is just a click away
We'll get together one of these days
How can you be as nice as me
You're not from the same slice as me
Where do we go from here my friend
Is this the way our story ends
Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie
I can't stop singing along..
Can you join in... come on
Are we more than just a slice of American Pie
We're top down lovers
It's saturday night
The band's running
And it feels so right
The moon's dancing and the stars are free
I caught your heart on a summer breeze
Whatever was or what's meant to be
Our melodies are memories
There was a time a long, long time ago
Chevys and levees played on the radio
No cell phones, just 20,000 lights
Swaying on a saturday night alright
Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie
I can't stop singing along
Can you join in, come on
Are we more than just a slice of American Pie
We're more than a slice
We're more than just a slice of American Pie
Note To The Unknown Soldier lyrics - Five For Fighting
I don't know you
I never met you
For laughs I'll call you Sam
You were the son
Of Mrs. Someone
I hope she understands
Sam you were all that you had
Are you happy or sad
I never knew you
But I'm told you're the best we had
Were you so tall
Did you play Basketball
Was there a sweetheart at home
Did you write her letters
Did it make you better face the great unknown
Sam did you feel alone
You were so far from home
I never knew you
But I know you're the best man I know
Could you tell it was time
See it coming in the back of your mind
When it was over, was it over
Sam I'm glad you're on my side
I don't know you
I never met you
Can I call you Sam
Did you have a son
A daughter with a little one
I might go and thank Sam you're the best that we have
You make me happy and sad
If you were here, I'd buy the beers
I'd shake your hand and say good man
And though the sun would shine about the same
It's a better world because you came
Sincerely yours, my kids will know your name
Tuesday lyrics - Five For Fighting
One year like any old other year in a week like any week
Monday lying down, half asleep
People doing what people do, loving, working and getting through
No portraits on the walls of Seventh Avenue
Then Tuesday came and went like a helicopter overhead
The letter that she left, cold addressed in red
Tuesday came and went one, one September when
Will she come again?
The thing about memories they're sure and bound to fade
Except for the stolen souls, left upon her blade
Is Monday coming back? Well, that's what Mondays do
They turn and turn around afraid to see it through
Tuesday came and went like a helicopter overhead
The letter that she left, cold addressed in red
Tuesday came and went one, one September when
Will she come again?
Tuesday came and went one, one September when
Cold and dressed in red, how could I forget?
Tuesday came and went like a helicopter overhead
Will she come again?
Chances lyrics - Five For Fighting
Chances are when said and done
Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way?
Though you say I could be your answer
Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today
Chances are we'll find a new equation
Chances roll away from me
Chances are all they hope to be
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
'Cause though love can't change the weather
No act of God could pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to look beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I'd see us through, yeah
Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
The possibilities over me
Eight to five or two to one, lay your money on the sun
Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love?
What you are is what you bring. You gotta cry before you sing
Chances, chances
Chances lost are hope's torn out pages
Maybe this time
Chances are we'll be the combination
Chances come and carry me
Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see
Chances are the fascination
Chances won't escape from me
Chances are only what we make them and all I need
This Dance lyrics - Five For Fighting
This is not our favorite song
but the night is moving right along
may I have your hand, may I have this dance.
I sense that you are amused,
but you just bought those brand new shoes.
It would such a shame not to give us the chance.
And oh my love there is only so many dances we can take across the night.
So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.
I know at times that you feel alone
when I'm here and I'm never home.
You said before is the price that you pay.
On matters of clarity
is not secret you are carrying me.
But you disguise thoughts of fall
I will keep you safe.
And oh my love there is only so many dances we can take across the night.
So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.
And oh....
oh...oh...
This is not our favorite song
but I wish it go on and on
it's moments like these
singers do all they can to stop time.
So let me just say to you
before the DJ changes the tune
you put the beautiful in life
you put the beautiful in life.
Above The Timberline lyrics - Five For Fighting
I get a little tired
Looking through the trees
Sitting on the 405
Hoping for a breeze
Everybody's gunning
You got something to see
I gotta sell this ticket
Get the shadow off of me
So what is your problem
You been moping around
You need to find a mountaintop
And get out of this town
She says sometimes
You gotta get away
Clear out that noggin
Open up the day
Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline
Things get slower
When it's harder to breath
I can almost touch the stars
That are hanging over me
You've never been more beautiful
And it's easy to see
All that really matters
You're all I'll ever need
I'm getting to the home
At the top of the world
Leading to realities
Up down at the curb
Oh the noise between us,
Now it can't be heard
I'm listening to the wind
I'm writing down the words
Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline
Now I'll be coming home,
I'll be coming home soon
Before I head on down
I'm gonna kiss the moon
Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline
Above the timberline
No heading up race, no waiting in line
The farther I go
The harder you climb
Love shines bright above the timberline
Transfer lyrics - Five For Fighting
Bought a ticket, destination nowhere
I am going then he smiled
It'd been awhile he said
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye love
She worked at the transfer station
No last words or consolations
Why I never lied
She cried, goodbye, bye, bye, bye love
He then took her off
He checked his line
The years went by
He found himself best he could find
Then a letter posted nowhere
Regards, I've arrived am doing fine
I missed you mine come save my life
My love, my life
She then put him on
She checked her line
She took her time
And on her heart she relied
Bought a ticket, destination nowhere
I am going then she smiled
It'd been awhile that smile
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye love
Train pulls into nowhere
There he stands a field of flowers
For his hands my love he cries
I missed you mine, come save my life
She says don't cry was only time
Moves in a line and then she smiled
And said besides I'm just passing bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye love
Bye, bye, bye, bye love
Bye, bye, bye, bye love, goodbye
Hope lyrics - Five For Fighting
When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
Cause love has forsaken you
When you burning on fire but have no desire
To put out the flames in
You gotta have hope
You gotta have something
There's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less
Will save the day
When you are in pain then step of the train
Nobody's waiting for you
You can knock down each door of all metaphors
Or embrace the cold hard truth
But you gotta have hope
You gotta have something
there's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less
Will save the day
I see that look in your eyes
I've seen it before
Each to our own disguise
If you need me babe
You're not alone, no, no
When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
cause despair has stolen your song
but raise up your fist and into the abyss
Scream,"Coward, get of my lawn"
Hope
Something
There's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less will save the day
Story Of Your Life lyrics - Five For Fighting
At 17 she left Long Island bound for Hollywood
Another story like the ones you've heard before
He left her broken like you figured, like you knew he would
She shut her heart after his ring rang off the door
It's the story of your life
You're tearing out the page
New chapter underway
The story of your life
You live it everyday
You can run, you run
But you won't get away
I don't know what's coming up
Where will you go now
It's the story of your life
She hit the ground
She built a fine career
Every weekend walked her dog beside the sea
In the salt she met a man who knew at once but wait
Is he the one we need him to be
In the story your life
You're moving down the page
As the words begin to change
The story of your life
You live it everyday
You can run, you run
But you won't get away
I don't know what's coming up
Where will you go now
It's the story of your life
Look around look around and the world will find you
There's a reason that we live so far from Hollywood
In the country looking hard to find a home
We're nothing perfect
All considered
But we're so damn good
It's the story of your life
You're moving down the page
And you know you're on your way
The story of your life
You live it everyday
You can run, you run
But you won't get away
No one knows what's coming up
Where will you go now
It's the story
It's your story
It's the story of your life
Love Can't Change The Weather lyrics - Five For Fighting
Love comes in, Love goes out
Moves in circles, Roundabout
We've been tired;
We can't take it anymore
Love can't change the weather
She says I'm out of my mind, over my head
Love can't change the weather
But I'll rise to shade the sun when it blinds your eyes
Love is born, Love is dead
Runs in colours, Blues and reds
We can't die;
We can't waste it anymore
Love in me, Loving you
Makes it better, when love is true
We are one;
We can face any storm
Love can't change the weather
She says I'm out of my mind, over my head
Love can't change the weather
But I'll be holding you when the rain walks in
Holding on...
And if you're wondering;
What is my take on this
If you're wondering
I'm out of my mind, over my head
But I'll shade the sun if it blinds your eyes
Love can't change the weather
But I stand holding your heart, Keeping your hand
Love can't change the weather
I believe no act of God is stronger than you and me
Love comes in, Love goes out
We can't die...
Augie Nieto lyrics - Five For Fighting
Augie Nieto's got a story to tell you
Though it's hard to hear him speak
He caught Lou Gehrig rounding third one day
Now he's happy as he'll ever be
He's running through the night
He'll die before he sleeps
Augie's found what I've been looking for
Augie Nieto can tell you he loves you
He's two wheels close to God
His captain Lynn sailing by his side
He'll never leave you lost
Though his arms can't squeeze you tight
He'll hold you when you sleep
Augie's found what I've been looking for
Hey yeah, Hey yeah
Take it any way it goes
Hey yeah, Hey yeah
Open up your never mind
Open up your mind
Augie Nieto has never been happier
You got to see to believe
He caught Lou Gehrig rounding third one day
Now he's carrying the whole team
It's not the breaths you take
It's how to breathe
Augie's found what I've been looking for
Augie's found what I've been looking for
Nowhere Bar lyrics - Five For Fighting
She wanted a hotel with a lobby
He penciled her in as a hobby
Jimmy and Johnny go kamikazes
Tom's 30 years buildin' the business
Were not enough to keep him in it
Now it's born 100 proof forgiveness
Let's go down to the Nowhere Bar
It's nowhere near, its nowhere far
It doesn't matter who you are
God save the radio star
Let's go down to the Nowhere Bar
You can bring your dream guitar
Sing me song of days gone far
We can get away, away
She had a face, he had a problem
She was a Jew, he was a Muslim
Now they're hiding out in old Jerusalem
They had a son, they name him Cegrid
C gave them something to believe in
If you can blink, you can't conceive him
Let's go down to the Nowhere Bar
It's nowhere near, its nowhere far
It doesn't matter who you are
God save the shooting star
Let's go down to the Nowhere Bar
You can bring your dream guitar
Sittin' with the band from Mars
We can get away, away
Away
Away
Away
Where did you go Dr. Jebago?
Rome, Solaren, or free Key Largo
Turn around in Caba Wabo
Iron John powered up to rally
Gonna hit the floor with Mustang Sally
1, 2, 3 your off back to Cali'
Let's go down to the Nowhere Bar
It's nowhere near, it's nowhere far
We'll drink a toast to FDR
God save the silver star
Let's to down to the Nowhere Bar
Trade in your old VCR
Solo with the band from Mars
Taxi! To the Nowhere Bar
One thousand bets he'll leave the bar
Diamonds, pesos, or giras
There goes the Hollywood Star
Come on down to the Nowhere bar
Download into your toolbar
A calus potion or Shangri-La
We can get a-
Get on down to the Nowhere Bar
She's sitting on your handle bars
Everywhere, your NPRs
God save the Ringo Star
Only down at the Nowhere bar
Your as special as your are
Shine no more men along that bar
We can get away, away
Freedom Never Cries lyrics - Five For Fighting
I took a flag to a pawn shop
For a broken guitar
I took a flag to a pawn shop
How much is that guitar
I took a flag to a pawn shop
I Got me that guitar
What's a flag in a pawn shop to me?
I Saw a man on the TV
In a mask with a gun
A man on the TV
He had a ten-year old son
I Saw a man on the TV
His son had a gun
He says that he's coming for me
I never loved the soldier until there was a war
Or thought about tomorrow
'til my baby hit the floor
I only talk to God when somebody's about to die
I Never cherished Freedom
Freedom never cries.
I Wrote a song for a dead man
To settle my soul
A song for a dead man
Now I'll never grow old
I Wrote a song for a dead man
Now I'm out in the cold
What's a song to a dead man to me?
I never loved the soldier until there was a war
Or thought about tomorrow
'til my baby hit the floor
I Only talk to God when somebody's about to die
I Never cherished Freedom
Freedom never cries...
You can cry for her
Die for her
Lay down your life for her
Kiss and wave Goodbye to her
Anything at all
You can cry for her
Die for her
Make up your mind to her
Anything at all
There's a baby on the doorstep
Wailing away
There's a baby on the doorstep
Longing for the day
There's a baby on the doorstep
Who'd give his life to take
A flag to a pawn shop
A flag to a pawn shop
May he forget why he is crying some day
World lyrics - Five For Fighting
Got a package full of Wishes
A Time machine, a Magic Wand
A Globe made out of Gold
No Instructions or Commandments
Laws of Gravity or
Indecisions to uphold
Printed on the box I see
A.C.M.E.'s Build-a-World-to-be
Take a chance - Grab a piece
Help me to believe it
What kind of world do you want?
Think Anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now...
Should there be people or peoples
Money, Funny pedestals for Fools who never pay
Raise your Army - Choose your Steeple
Don't be shy, the satellites can look the other way
Lose the Earthquakes - Keep the Faults
Fill the oceans without the salt
Let every Man own his own Hand
What kind of world do you want
Think Anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now...
Sunlight's on the Bridge
Sunlight's on the Way
Tomorrow's Calling
There's more to this than Love
What Kind of world do you want
What Kind of world do you want
What Kind of world do you want
Think Anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
History Starts Now
Be careful what you wish for
Start Now
California Justice lyrics - Five For Fighting
Early one morning at county line
The swells 4-6 approaching 9
The barrel of my life hit the Malibu Sky
A Golden State Pipe - Conchita was mine
Suddenly a local on a Boogie in a Thong
Cut in on my line - My Barrel was gone
Her Pepperdine Stud screamed "Val that's what you get"
I shot him with a gun behind Neptune's Net.
Killed a man I don't know what the fuss is
I'm just looking for some California Justice...
Took off in the Mustang for the 395
Double Double in Mohave - Took a left at Lone Pine
I Powered up the top of Mt Whitney
They may not have a Jamba Juice but here they'll never get me...
While working my tan looked down the cliff to see
A line of Black and Whites Dropped by a yellow Jersey
Called Uncle Arnie said, "What's going on
He said, "New Sheriff in town...Name's Lance Armstrong"
Killed a man I don't know what the fuss is
I'm just looking for some California justice
Hired a fixer to keep things blurry
Sent the shuttle to space for the perfect jury
The judge dropped the bar and to the court decreed
You can lay down all you like
Tell me what you see
I'm free
Heading up the Truckee River
To catch me a brown though the water makes me shiver
Mistake I made was crossing the border
Casinos for me are cooked and made to order
I didn't intend to kill the dealer last night
But I doubled down to 20 - His 16 pulled a 5
Now I'm heading back to Cali bound for TAHOE CITY...
Killed a man I don't know what the fuss is
I'm just looking for some California justice
Moral of the story keep the straight and narrow
Your eyes on the ball
Your hands off the sparrow
Every country needs one broken arrow
At least we gave you Ronnie Reagan, Sonny & Chero
I'll meet you down behind Neptune's Net
Catch my honey in the thong
Do you get it yet?
We'll catch barrels every day
I'm just surfing U.S.A.
The Riddle lyrics - Five For Fighting
There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me
He said,
Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see... You will see
Then he said,
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me
He said,
Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me
And Hey Dad
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
I said,
Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world...
Who am I?
There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see
He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...
The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is high over me
Something comes over me
I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free
I love you freely
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
Two Lights lyrics - Five For Fighting
What is Courage
Is it Brave
What are Lions
I've only seen them in parades
How is love supposed to read
In a footnote of history
What's a tap on your shoulder
That you're afraid to look over
A soldier's down in a fire fight
No one can look me in the eye
This is what it means to be alone.
Tear out my Heart
Feed it to Lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy
But spare me my pride
I'm going for a drive
And if you find out he's coming home
When I come around the corner
I'll know that it's alright
Just leave me two lights
He was young just 23
Didn't have to go
But it was the man he wanted to be
Like every son he was an only one
One day he came to me, said
Freedoms nothing to look over
Till each man can stand upon its shoulder
I'll right you mountains of letters
Each one a little bit better
And know I'll never be alone
Tear out my Heart
Feed it to Lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy
But spare me my pride
I'm going for a drive
And if you find out he's coming home
When I come around the corner
I'll know that it's alright
Leave me two lights
Silent Angels
Light the road up ahead
As the sentries guard the way
On the avenue of borrowed time
I'm almost home
The sun's to rise
I got to know
I've been driving all the night
There's our corner up ahead
I'm alive and I am dead
I drive right through the stop sign
I turn my head
As I lift my eyes
My eyes burn
Tear out my Heart
Feed it to Lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy
Spare me my pride
I'm going for a drive
'65 Mustang lyrics - Five For Fighting
She's my time machine
She's my rolling memory
She's my family
And I love her so
She knows my secrets well
But her back seat won't ever tell
She's no Jezebel
My '65 Mustang rides along
Every mile's another song
And what I don't remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain't let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse's key
I'm 17 or 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the '65 was three
She's been four colors
We've broken forty laws
She goes where she wants
No matter what the cost
No power nothing here
AC's 2 by 75
Yea you got it man
You roll em down and drive
My '65 Mustang rides along
Every mile's another song
And what I don't remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain't let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse's key
I'm 17 or 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the '65 was three
Don't need to play no new CD's
She's enough music for me
I Don't need no new AC
Cause she's cooler than I'll ever be
My wild Mustang
She's waiting on me
Ready to take us away
Sail across the sea
When I'm on her back
I'm the boy each man should be
She's My Family Tree
My '65 Mustang rides along
Every mile's another song
And what I don't remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain't let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse's key
And she roars to me...I'm 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the '65 was three
She's my family
I Just Love You lyrics - Five For Fighting
Lonely, yeah that's the word
I leave my heart when I leave her
The days go on forever and the nights do too
One evening out on the road
A half a world away from home
I thought she was sleeping
When the call came through
I said, Darling, it's late, is everything ok
Silence took over the room
Til she said
I... I just Love You
I Don't Know Why, I Just Do
When are you coming home
I'm coming home soon
And I just love you too
Lonely lets me be
For a while she sets me free
I close my eyes and I dream of her
She's lost in my arms
Her head on my heart
And softly she whispers the words
I...I just Love You
I Don't Know Why, I Just Do
When are you coming home
I'm coming home soon
And I just love you too
I'll never stop being amazed
How my 4-year old girl knows exactly what to say
I, I just Love You
I Don't Know Why, I Just Do
When are you coming home
I'm coming home soon
Cause I just love you too
Policeman's Xmas Party lyrics - Five For Fighting
Welcome to the first day of the rest of my life
The tension is so think you can cut it with a knife
Something's happened:Things will never be the same
There's blood on the carpet - I'm rewiring my brain
I got some new friends down at West Valley PD
You can change the channel but I'm all that's on TV
The only good news is that he's going to be o.k.
Got a bomb in my stomach but I'm dreaming that one day
I'll be going to a Policeman's Xmas party
Have a couple beers get funky on the dance floor
Going to a Policeman's Xmas party
Gonna have a good time for the rest of my life...
4 weeks later it's still Raining in the Park
Marine with a gun guards my house now after dark
I look for clues like I'm Inspector Clouseau
You can have my money honey I just want to go
Go to a policeman's Xmas party
Have a couple beers get my funky on the dance floor
Go to a policeman's Xmas party
Gonna have a good time for the rest of my life...
There's Cops on the ceiling
There's Cops on the floor
There's Cops in the windows
Cops breaking down the door
You'll never feel safer in your life
The Captain even likes to get freaky on my wife
We're going to a Policeman's Xmas party
Have a couple beers get my funky on the dance floor
Going to a Policeman's Xmas party
Gonna have a good time for the rest...
Welcome to the best day of the rest of my life
My buddies broke the case and now it's gonna be alright
Moral of the story, it don't matter who you are
Be careful what you wish for they'll be calling you a rock star
People from Earth there's never been a harder core
Party like this party in a million years or more
The floor itself is hopping like a freaking kangaroo
The D.J.'s in his P.J.'s playing..."everybody wants you!"
Going to a policeman's Xmas party
Have a couple beers get funky on the dance floor
Going to a policeman's Xmas party
Going to have a good time the rest of my life!
Take off your clothes
Take off everything you are
Take off your heart
Get funky on the dance floor
Going to have a good time for the rest...
Road To Heaven lyrics - Five For Fighting
Sometimes I think about silly things
It's easy to do if you have the time
Often happens when I'm falling off to sleep
After a second glass of wine
The clock is usually running out
Down by one or could be tied
I'm fading back
Winding up
The championship on the line...but...
What if there was a road to heaven
That's what came to me today
Would there be Traffic jams with diamond lanes
Potholes filled up with rain
Would there be Tolls still left to pay
If there was a road to heaven
Made of gold or made out of clay
Would the Angels wave me up the hill
Or in my mirror just fade away
I've never been the kind a man who hits his knees
Got no answers for big questions
I don't know...
Maybe tomorrow lightning will hit me on the head
And we can find out if we're just a joke
Jesus I'm told can build a bridge
Finer than any other man
There's a certain peace to an country road
With a wheel in your hand
If there was a road to heaven
Would there be laws I must obey
If I drove my mustang 85
Late one night turned out the lights
Would the stars still light the way
If there was a road to heaven
Made of Gold or Made of Clay
Would the Angels lead me up the hill
Or in my mirror just fade away
Night turns morning
The old man should be snoring
I got to get some sleep before I'm awake
Up with the monkeys
I sure love the monkeys
But This job ain't all cookies and cake
Sometimes I think about silly things
It's easy to do if you got the wine
In The Eagle we're landing
I'm the President
Or a foreign king
With a harem from Encino to Brunei
But if there was a road to heaven
It'd be one long and crazy ride...
If there was a road to heaven babe
That's a road that I'd like to find.
Johnny America lyrics - Five For Fighting
Show me a better bike than the one I got
If it makes any difference you can keep the lot
There's plenty of space in the parking lot
A head full of hopes
A pocket full of dreams
Handle bars coming apart at the seams
There goes Johnny America
Riding Hard up Mission Hill
Some think he'll make it to the top today
Some say he never will
Though he's just a child at heart
He's old enough to fall
Nobody in 100 years
Can touch him faults and all...
What you going to say about my little man
Take another shot, do the best you can
They're selling out souls in the grandstand
His Cap peeled back
Got Blood on his knees
Fighting back tears
Tearing through the breeze
There goes Johnny America
Riding Hard up Mission Hill
Some think he'll make it to the top today
Some say he never will
Though he's just a child at heart
He's old enough to fall
Nobody in 100 years
Can touch him faults and all...
He's come to far to fall
There goes Johnny America
Riding Hard up Mission Hill
Some think he'll make it to the top today
Some say he never will...
GO!
Go Johnny!
Go Johnny!
There goes Johnny America
Riding Hard up Mission Hill
Some think he'll make it to the top today
I say he will.
NYC Weather Report lyrics - Five For Fighting
Got to get away from here...
Got to get away from all these thinkers... drinking up my thoughts again
Got to get away from here...
Got to get away from all these choosers, losers... all my best of friends
Sit back New York City
You're not cute but you're oh so pretty
When the rain comes you fall up again...
SUNNY... You are a part of me
SUNNY... You are the heart of me
Got to get away from here...
Got to get away from all these people who need people... You know it really makes me sick
Got to get away from here...
Got to get away from expectations, recreations, just for the sake of it
Sit back New York City
You're not cute but you're oh so pretty
When the rain comes you fall up again...
SUNNY... You are a part of me
SUNNY... You are the heart of me
Sit back New York City
You're not cute but you're oh so pretty
When the rain falls you come up again
Sit back New York City friend...
Got to get away from here...
Got to get away from what I'm thinking...I'm thinking...it's too much for anyone...
Got to get away from here...
Got get away from what you're drinking... you're drinking...so I'll take another one...
The Devil In The Wishing Well lyrics - Five For Fighting
I met Jane at the center of the earth
It was dark there was dirt all around
But I gather you can figure that
Jane says I'm your body in the night
And I'll lead you where you might find yourself
Better if you follow me
So go right you'll be left at a big hotel
You'll meet the devil at the bottom of a wishing well
You know you better give him something
Give him something good
Like everybody else he's misunderstood
Jane says it's a long way out...
I'm gonna make it out
Cause I'm about her
Jane says, you're as Holy as a ghost,
But who loves you the most, if you offer
I might let you carry me
Jane there's nobody here but yourself
In the end it's the wealth of your spirit
Now hurry up get on with it
I went left I got right at some big hotel
There was a devil at the bottom of the wishing well
He said you better give me something
Give me something good
Like everybody else I'm misunderstood
Jane says it's a long way out
I'm gonna make it out
Cause I'm about
Jane says it's a long way out
I'm gonna make it out
I took a guess and cut a portion out of my heart
He said that's nowhere close enough but it's a damn good start
I wrote the secret that I buried on the wishing well wall
He said I've seen one... it follows that I've seen them all
We spoke of human destination in a perfect world
Derived the nature of the universe (found it unfulfilled)
As I took him in my arms he screamed I'm not insane
I'm just looking for someone to understand my pain...
It's a long way out...
I'm gonna make it out
If God Made You lyrics - Five For Fighting
Hey Kid... Your time has come to change
Though I need you more than I've needed anyone in any way tonight
Hey Kid... I know it won't be long
The Captain's calling...come to see you back where we belong
Something inside me is breaking
Something inside says there's somewhere better than this...
Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in her eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you he's in love with me
Hey Kid...Do wishes count at all
Can you give me a sign...give me anything I won't tell a soul you told
Hey Kid...Will you hold me when I sleep
Will you find me when the tide decides that I got to leave
Something inside me is breaking
Something inside says there's somewhere better than this...
Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in her eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you he's in love with me
Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in your eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you he's in love with me
Something inside me is breaking
Something inside says there's somewhere better than this my love
Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in her eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you he's in love with me
Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in your eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you... he's in love with me...
100 Years lyrics - Five For Fighting
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15 there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
I'm still the man, but you see I'm a "they"
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15 there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on
I'm 99 for a moment
And dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15 there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
Angels & Girlfriends lyrics - Five For Fighting
I met her down at a Pineapple Parking lot
She said I love you more
I said I love you not
And all the while I stood in line at the paint shop
She said I'll take you where you'll never go again
I'll be your only love
You'll be my only friend
And for your time I'll let you dine at my office
Angels never come for free
If you know what I know you know what I mean
You can love em now - you can love em later
Girlfriends never fall for fun
They can tie you up make you come undone
You can learn to fly - But you can't create her
She led me down though a forest of wooden chairs
As she ate my lunch I looked out for bears
And in a sense you could say she snared my attention
She said I am your perfect finality
And as I got her off she got off her knees
And for my grind I got honorable mention
Everybody needs one
Everybody's bound
Everybody swings upon the Marry-Go-Around
Girlfriends never fall for fun
They can tear you up make you come undone...
[harmonica]
So now I'm stuck in this pineapple parking lot
I had what I was now I'm what I got
And if I may... may I lend you some kind of direction
If you go you may never come back again
She's my only love
She my only friend
And for that there is no kind of protection
Everybody needs one...
Everybody's bound
Everybody swings and meanwhile Mary Goes Around
Angels never come for free
If you know what I know you know what I mean
1st you hate to love and then you love to hate her
Girlfriends never fall alone
Now you know what I know you know what I've known
I'll see you now...and I'll see you later
I'll see you later
I think I can save her
I wish I could date her
Dying lyrics - Five For Fighting
I'm Dying, Dying to wake up without you, without you in my head again
I'm Dying, Dying to forget about you, that you ever lived
There's a shade come over this heart that's coping with laying down to rest
I'm Dying to live without you again
I'm Dying, Dying to find a distraction, get you away from me
I'm Dying, Dying to reach a conclusion, so that the world can see
It's the same old story of love and glory that broke before it bent
I'm Dying to live without you again
The first time you left I said goodbye
Now there's not a prayer that can survive
Dying, Dying to die just to come back so we can meet again
Dying, Dying to say what I always should have said
It's a strange emotion this but there's still hope in this
As long as there's a breath...
I'm Dying and I can't live without you again
It's a strange emotion this but there's still hope in this
As long as there's a breath...
I'm Dying and I can't live without you
I'm Dying and I can't live without you again
Infidel lyrics - Five For Fighting
Heaven fell from the sky tonight
There were virgins in my backyard chasing angels with fire sticks...
Heaven fell on herself tonight
And Moses lay in pieces from some 17-year-old bomb...
Here we go...someone's knocking at my window
Here we go...I didn't ask for this shit...
Here we go...someone's knocking at my window
Here we go...I didn't ask for it...ask for it...ask for it...
Heaven fell from the sky tonight
And the whole damn world invited themselves to my Sunday BBQ...
Heaven fell and it's not all right
And God won't dare show his face from of the bottom of my swimming pool...
Here we go...someone's knocking in my window
Here we go...I didn't ask for this shit
Here we go...someone's knocking at my window
Here we go...I didn't ask for it...ask for it...ask for it...
La lee be la lee
La lee be lo
Here comes the fire trucks... open the show
Here in the spotlight...which way did they go...
Which way did they go...
Heaven fell on herself tonight...
Disneyland lyrics - Five For Fighting
I Woke up got my lazy ass out of bed
I Watered all the rocks growing in my head
I Had a thought...and fell asleep on you...
There I was somewhere West of Tomorrow Land
Flying through the stars just like Peter Pan
I said...Damn this looks too good to be true...
There she goes... my heart again (would you mind rolling over)
I can feel it in the air (something's coming down)
I don't know and I don't care that it's a small world
It's a nice day if you wake up in Disneyland...
It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland...
In my dream everybody's got a little house
A dog, a bank account managed by Mickey Mouse
And the only thing we fight about is the Lakers...
In my dream all the pirates down in Neverland
Never get the Hook... they just get a hand
While the crocs sing Superman till we just can't take it...
There she goes... my heart again (do you mind rolling over)
I can feel it in the air (something's coming down)
I don't know and I don't care if it's a small world
It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland...
It's a nice day if you wake up in Disneyland...
We can fly away...
I Woke up got my lazy ass out of bed
I Watered all the rocks growing in my head
I Had a thought... and I looked up to see
The sign read the park she's closed today
E-tickets don't work here no more anyway
Where every day's a magic day to be free You see...
It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland...
It's a nice day should you wake up in Disneyland...
It's your L.U.C.K.Y. day should you wake up in Disneyland...
It's a nice day should you wake up in Disneyland...
Maybe I lyrics - Five For Fighting
You were right
You came over me
What'd never been before
You slid under my door and now I find
A Reason to admit I've been too lazy
But in this light
In this atmosphere
I'm starting to believe
The other side of me but who's to know
Honey... surely one of us is crazy
Maybe I... I'm not so easily stung
Maybe I... I got some love for someone
Maybe I... I'm not the story for you
Maybe I... I'll be the do you ought to do
So now I stand
I never stood before
What's better left unsaid is done, buried and dead and you're alive
Girl I think you might just stay the night
Maybe I... I'm not so easily stung
Maybe I... I got some love for someone
Maybe I... I'll write a story for you
Maybe I... I'll be the do you ought to do
I'm not trying to take it easy
I'm not trying to help you see
I'm not trying to take us over
I'm just trying to believe
Maybe I... I'm not so easily stung
Maybe I... I got some love for someone
Maybe I... I'm just the story for you
Maybe I... I'll be the do you ought to do
Maybe I... I'm not the one for your love
Maybe I... I'll be your heaven above
Maybe I... I'll write a story for two
Maybe I... I'll be the do that you do
The Taste lyrics - Five For Fighting
So I seen her
In a land that was forgotten
She brought a candle to my mind
But it got no easier then
So I snuck out of her apartment
I went down to buy a premium
But all that settled was my mind, for a time
Till she showed me what a fire was
I will be a happy man if you're my sacred son
I could be a dividend if you're my only one
So I bought 12,000 acres
Suddenly it was a dozen
And for a moment I was blind but for the time
I caught a glimpse inside the universe there
I couldn't handle the dimensions
See 2+2 can = 5 here
So I sold off unto a lamb, but it was a scam
And he giggled like he'd won the lottery
I will be a happy man if you're my sacred son
I could be a dividend if you're my only one
And all the children started singing
There I fell into a coffin
Brought the water in my eyes
(Surprised) I wondered at the miracle there
When it all was finally over
I thought about our time here
Here where everything's divine
Well I find I still got the taste for you
I still got the taste for you
I still got the taste for you
I still got the taste for you
If you're my only one
One More For Love lyrics - Five For Fighting
Baby there's something on my mind tonight
There's a reason to believe we almost got it right
There's a fire burning in the firelight
As we roll on tonight
There's paper promises and alibis
There is certainly uncertainty in all our eyes
But as long as you are here I'll be all right
As we roll on tonight
So you go out...I'll go on
If there's a doubt...we'll be strong
As we go on singing
One more for love my love
One more for love...
There's always blood to fill the heart betrayed
There are children being born to every house that's raised
And we're getting closer to where we got it made
As we roll on tonight
So you go out...I'll go on
If there's a doubt...we'll be strong
As we go on singing
One more for love my love
One more for love...
I'm never going to wait for anything
Never going to break for anything
Cause I am one more for love my love
One more for love
One more for love my love
Baby there's something on my mind tonight
There's a reason to believe that we got it right
And all and all you're all that's on my mind tonight As we roll on...
One more for love my love
One more for love
Nobody lyrics - Five For Fighting
Take off your shoes... Take off yourself
Take off your rented mental health
Take off your raincoat... settle down
Take off your nightmare and your frown
There is a place for you to go
To see another ringer in a rock show
Take my pretense for a time
Cause I want to say to you
I'm nobody without you...buddy
My long lost friend
If you're not here to hear me scream
Am I silent like a dream
Where all the dragons are my friends
Each night we meet our bitter ends
Do I need you to make me real
Like Wheeler spinning his own wheel
Quantum strings within my brain
Popping sanities insane
I'm nobody without you...buddy
My long lost friend
Not everybody has a brain
Not everybody's going sane
Not everybody wishes well
Not everybody's heaven's hell
Sometimes there's someone to blame
Sometimes a place for shame
Sometimes good's better than bad
Sometimes good's better than bad
Sometimes good's better than bad
Sometimes you're better than me
Heaven fell on herself tonight
As the devil met me in the wishing well
And in that moment I found myself knowing
That in the end it's just about you and me
Nothing smaller or larger
Though dragons are good for the soul
Nothing can be better than baring yourself for another...
Open for scrutiny, ridicule, and indulgence
Therein lies the balls, and the mind, and the heart...
As fear is truly the Mindkiller...
When nothing is left...
Everything is gained...
You see I wish I was a poet
But I know as we go round and round
Though endings are never ever happy
It's the happy moments along the way
That in the end
Make it...ok...
The Last Great American (New Last Verse (9/15/2001)) lyrics - Five For Fighting
Mr. Merry cries in his coffin for days he says he can remember
And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs
Of a beautiful and purple mountain
From every walk of life we've come to see the Last Great American
May I now present you the speaker
Friends he was a man of men, a man of gold
He had a how do you say ethical like sense
That's when the President started to giggle
Then the children gave the blessing
Though the service weren't half done
Each of them sued the other one
For the last great American
Mr. Reaches up and we bow our heads
He pulls the lid on down as his stone is read
Here lies our Merry the man with the heart so spent
That in this day and age is sick of living
Then the funeral pyre was shattered
And the world became undone
The mourners raised their heads up
As the crowd began to run
Then everybody stopped...
...to the beating of a drum.
For through the smoke and morning sun
Stands the Last Great American
Easy Tonight lyrics - Five For Fighting
You were wrong
You were right
You are gone
Tonight
You were free
So alive
You were wrong
You were right
You were down
You could see
You wore hearts
for me
You were sharp
Sharp as knives
You were wrong
You were right
Shot down: said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
Woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere
Don't know where I'm going yet:
But I sure am getting there
Shotgun fire: anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright: It's not easy tonight
You were bound
You were free
You wear black
for me
You were dark
Dark as night
You were wrong
You were right
Shot down: said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
But woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere
Don't know where I'm going yet:But I sure am getting there
Shotgun fire: anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright: It's not easy tonight
She's In. Over my head:and it's not easy it's not easy tonight
Shotgun fire: anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright: It's not easy tonight
You were free:Now your not:You were free
Bloody Mary (A Note On Apathy) lyrics - Five For Fighting
Over by the still she says,
"Man I think you better wait for tomorrow!
Take this pillow for your head
And I'll take you."
Back against the beast I went
To feel her coming, hot for a follow up
Here comes the sun again:(to see me through)
On and on she takes me from you, my love
On and on she rakes me from you
Happily I leave her fed
Tonight I swear, I swear on tomorrow:(wait)
Here comes the sun again
To see me through:
On and on she takes me from you, my love
On and on she rakes me from you
Bloody Mary's for all:
Bloody Mary's for all:
On and on she takes me from you, my love
On and on she rakes me from you
All of my dreams for you:to follow
All of my dreams for you:to swallow
All of my dreams for you:
Superman (It's Not Easy) lyrics - Five For Fighting
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird,
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd but don't be naïve
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me
Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it's alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me, inside of me [2x]
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for a dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
And it's not easy.
It's not easy to be me.
America Town lyrics - Five For Fighting
I know I should be happy in your land
It's not all that wild to me
Not that I want to be any other where
I know its hell out there
Here in the borders of America Town
All of the dollies are spinning round and round
Hail to the chief
Lets just drag them all down
There's got to be a hero somewhere
Used to get annoyed at the fire and the flag
Now it just seems old to me
(Everyone is old to me)
And I know we'd kick your ass
But first I'll take a nap tonight
And know someone's looking out for me
Here in the borders of America Town
All of the dollies are spinning round and round
Hail to the chief
Lets just drag them all down
There's got to be a hero somewhere
I tried it
I've seen it
I bought it all
Not that I'm upset
I can still make my bet on the basketball game
And I got my spare change
I'm even O.K. with the hoodlums on the hill
They're in my will
Like her and you
Whom and who
In America Town
We all spin around
In America Town
I'm really not down:
We all spin around
In America Town
America Town
America Town
