    @I get it......
    Ya know....hanging around here and the SD.com site is a safe harbor....while your ship prepares to sail.....where, that's up to you..... we make our own magic....if we choose to.... FTW was a Grand Parade..... Nothing Dead affiliated will ever top it for me, they were not the best of shows by any stretch of the imagination, but they will always be the most memorable.... not because of the core 4 but the people, those in the park, those in the stadium, those on the streets...like minded folk....and we are everywhere.... Love comes to you and you follow Lose one on to the heart of the sunrise Sharp distance How can the wind with its arms All around me Lost on a wave and then after Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise Sharp distance How can the wind with so many around me Lost in the city Lost in their eyes as you hurry by Counting the broken ties they decide Love comes to you and then after Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise Lost on a wave that you're dreaming Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise Sharp distance How can the wind with its arms all around Me Sharp distance How can the wind with so many around me I feel lost in the city Lost in their eyes as you hurry by Counting the broken ties they decided Straight light moving and removing Sharpness of the colour sun shine Straight light searching all the meanings Of the song Long last treatment of the telling that Relates to all the words sung Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits You Love comes to you and then after Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise Sharp distance How can the sun with its arms all around Me Sharp distance How can the wind with so many around me I feel lost in the city Gotta pick yourself up, dust yourself off....and start all over again.... just call me Merlin....

    @ Great Expectations
    I thought racin' was my life... Racin's not my life. I dont mean to seem ungrateful for life or beauty or wonder and amazement. it's just that: It's not because I missed out on the thing that you had to start. Maybe I had too much too fast. Maybe I had too much too fast. I just feel like a lost sailor right now. Coming back to reality after Fare Thee Well isn't going well. I need a fix-Jonesin' real bad. It's just that reality here has so little of the magic I felt, nothing will ever be the same. I used to get into politics and activism but I cant stomach those struggles anymore. I need to move to where the climate suits my clothes. And I really need to see the Daydreamers again. Well you gassed her up Behind the wheel With your arm around your sweet one In your Oldsmobile Barrelin' down the boulevard You're looking for the heart of Saturday night And you got paid on Friday And your pockets are jinglin' And you see the lights You get all tinglin' cause you're cruisin' with a 6 And you're looking for the heart of Saturday night Then you comb your hair Shave your face Tryin' to wipe out ev'ry trace All the other days In the week you know that this'll be the Saturday You're reachin' your peak Stoppin' on the red You're goin' on the green 'Cause tonight'll be like nothin' You've ever seen And you're barrelin' down the boulevard Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night Tell me is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin? Telephone's ringin'; it's your second cousin Is it the barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye? Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye. Makes it kind of quiver down in the core 'Cause you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before And now you're stumblin' You're stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night Well you gassed her up And you're behind the wheel With your arm around your sweet one In your Oldsmobile Barrellin' down the boulevard, You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night Is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin? Telephone's ringin'; it's your second cousin And the barmaid is smilin' from the corner of her eye Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye. Makes it kind of special down in the core And you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before It's found you stumblin' Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night And you're stumblin' Stumblin onto the heart of Saturday night

    Reframe your expectations, be excited for life, for living, breathing, for Matt, the birds, the bees, the trees, and all things mundane.... which we all take for granted much too often.....Chicago and our group of dreamers has given me the opportunity to reframe my life, my goals and my expectations........the anticipation of FTW, the new friends, you included !!! have made my life a better place.... NYC, where I grew up is a fine place, it's expensive, it's fast, it's chaotic and it's definitely not Chicago....no judgement passed there, it was excellent....but they are very different experiences..... Talk to Matt, NYC must be experienced....at least once.....hell you will probably even get a Werewolves....you know, their bodies are a wonderland.....exceptionally hairy, but whatcha gonna do? If you decide to go, .let me know and I will get you the tix...promise.... and now for your listening pleasure and introspection .....some Crack the Sky..... Well, I was talking to a mirror image of what supposedly was to be me; and The eyes and the nose and the insignificant clothes supported the testimony. He said, "You're doing fine, you know. You've got an okay mind, you know. And I would hate to see you throw it away. You'd better hold on. Hold on. Hold on." I was telling him I was a bit fatigued about my life, both present and past; And when I recalled my thoughts of ending it all with an overdose of gas, He said, "You're doing fine, you know. You've got an okay mind, you know. And I would hate to see you throw it away. You'd better hold on. Hold on. Hold on." Hold on Hold on Hold on

    DAMNIT!!! I hate that song. I wanted to be excited for something. Maybe this isn't it. Matt has never been to NYC and to see it on Halloween would be cool. Now I dunno. It is far...and If you're not going... I just want to hold onto the magic longer. They hung a sign up in out town "if you live it up, you won't live it down" So, she left Monte Rio, son Just like a bullet leaves a gun With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips She went and took that California trip Well, the moon was gold, her Hair like wind She said don't look back just Come on Jim Oh you got to Hold on, Hold on You got to hold on Take my hand, I'm standing right here You gotta hold on Well, he gave her a dimestore watch And a ring made from a spoon Everyone is looking for someone to blame But you share my bed, you share my name Well, go ahead and call the cops You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops She said baby, I still love you Sometimes there's nothin left to do Oh you got to Hold on, hold on You got to hold on Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you got to Just hold on. Well, God bless your crooked little heart St. Louis got the best of me I miss your broken-china voice How I wish you were still here with me Well, you build it up, you wreck it down You burn your mansion to the ground When there's nothing left to keep you here, when You're falling behind in this Big blue world Oh you go to Hold on, hold on You got to hold on Take my hand, I'm standing right here You got to hold on Down by the Riverside motel, It's 10 below and falling By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes And started swaying But it's so hard to dance that way When it's cold and there's no music Well your old hometown is so far away But, inside your head there's a record That's playing, a song called Hold on, hold on You really got to hold on Take my hand, I'm standing right here And just hold on.

    @I ain't sayin' anything.except....I'll use my hands.....
    ...the vibe will always carry on....the faces and names will change....unfortunately but inevitably.... the fact that the MSG show, which will be the first and likely the sloppiest of Dead and co. ala Santa Clara 6/27, may not be one for the record books....it will sell out in minutes because all of the east coasters who missed out on Chicago want in, understandably so....Mayer is a proficient player, but not my cup of tea....seems self conscious and stiff....Billy said he and Mickey want to explore more drums....that is fine.... I applaud Phil for doing his own thing....and having the integrity to honor the meaning and spirit of Fare The Well.....the final performances.... If I go downstate at all, it will be to the Cap on 10/31.....much smaller venue with great sound, not in Manhattan.....no crowds, cheap hotels....etc.... With that said Miami, if you want, I will get you n Matt tix as promised.....contact me privately....email or text... Just keep in mind, if the rumors of a tour are real, you may get to see them in your back yard....like the Dead and Phil n Furthur......if they come to Da Buff, I will be there with my contingent..... And I leave you with this..... Ohhhh, it hurts so bad, but I just gotta do it...... I hope they play this....cowboy style....with Mickey on the Train horn..... We got the afternoon You got this room for two One thing I've left to do Discover me Discovering you One mile to every inch of Your skin like porcelain One pair of candy lips and Your bubblegum tongue And if you want love We'll make it Swim in a deep sea Of blankets Take all your big plans And break 'em This is bound to be a while Your body is a wonderland Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) Your body is a wonderland Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase You tell me where to go and though I might leave to find it I'll never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it you want love? We'll make it Swim in a deep sea Of blankets Take all your big plans And break 'em This is bound to be a while Your body is a wonderland Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) Your body is a wonderland (I'll never speak again... I'll use my hands) Damn baby You frustrate me I know you're mine, all mine, all mine But you look so good it hurts sometimes Your body is a wonderland (I'll never speak again... I'll use my hands) Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands) Your body is a wonderland (I'll never speak again... I'll use my hands) Your body is a wonderland ;-) Sign language....

    The boy needs some practice... that can be done. I will admit he wouldn't be my first choice but, his enthusiasm enspires Bob so... I'll give him a shot. Have you watched Bob and John on the late late show...he doesn't seem as awkward there. There's talk on the street; it sounds so familiar Great expectations, everybody's watching you People you meet, they all seem to know you Even your old friends treat you like you're something new Johnny come lately, the new kid in town Everybody loves you, so don't let them down You look in her eyes; the music begins to play Hopeless romantics, here we go again But after awhile, you're lookin' the other way It's those restless hearts that never mend Johnny come lately, the new kid in town Will she still love you when you're not around? There's so many things you should have told her, but night after night you're willing to hold her, Just hold her, tears on your shoulder There's talk on the street, it's there to Remind you, that it doesn't really matter which side you're on. You're walking away and they're talking behind you They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town Everybody loves him, don't they? Now he's holding her, and you're still around Oh, my, my There's a new kid in town Ooh, hoo Everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town Ooh, hoo Everybody's walking' like the new kid in town There's a new kid in town There's a new kid in town I don't want to hear it There's a new kid in town I don't want to hear it There's a new kid in town There's a new kid in town There's a new kid in town

    and then there were three.... Holly n Matt....if you haven't yet...YouTube Mayer sitting in with Phil at TXR....had to close my eyes, watching him made me very unsettled...maybe he had the jitters? I dunno...his playing was just ok I guess but it was very awkward, kinda like when I saw Napoleon Dynamite for the first time.... Think the show was week before Santa Clara mid June.... If you don't like the way they make 'em in the city Cause they taste too strong the dang paper ain't pretty Roll your own roll your own You'll leave the ready rolls behind when you finally find a roll your own. There's the raspberry strawberry pretty red wine Besides tasting good you're gonna have a nice time Roll your own roll your own You're gonna have a nice time I ain't lyin' roll your own. Well, the first time you try it you're gonna cuss and shout 'Cause the paper keeps tearin' and the stuffin' falls out But don't give up 'cause after a while You'll be smokin' right on with a big ole smile Roll your own, roll your own. When you finally get the hang of rolling your own You'll want to share it with a friend let 'em pass it along Roll your own roll your own You won't smoke so dang much when you finally get the touch So roll your own. You'll leave the ready rolls behind when you finally find A roll your own... Now we are on a roll.....

Hi rich and holly and everyone else. feelin' alright. it is a fine north Texas afternoon...the cold front is moving through. down to 95 today, only high 80s yesterday. that IS an August cold front here.somethin' funny happened in chicago...I took my bro-in-law who doubles as one of my best friends, to the july 3 concert. anyway, he always sort of liked the dead but hadn't seen them since a concert long ago and really lost interest. always liked the studio classics but not really a fan..ANYWAY...he is now streaming the Friday night show 2-3 times a week. He tells me "I finally get it, and they're quitting, why didn't you MAKE me go to shows with you?". just goes to show to show once again, the things you regret the most are the things you don't do. I don't have the heart to tell him that, as GRATE as Trey did and he may actually be better technically then JG, he ain't Jerry. I'm still basking in it. Have a great weekend and thanks for the beer tip. I will search for it.

And in comes Devil's Friend, he's moaning "You belong to Me I Believe" And Totem says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend You better leave" And the only sound that's left After the ambulances go Is Stanley sweeping up tonight On Desolation Row. Now the moon is almost hidden The stars are beginning to hide Holly and OzarkMatt Have even taken all their camping gear inside All except for Cain74 and Abel And the hunchback of Notre Dame Everybody is either making love Or else expecting rain And Bob Loblaw, he's dressing He's getting ready for the show He's going to the carnival tonight On Desolation Row. Now StellaMoon, she's 'neath the window For her I feel so afraid On her twenty-second birthday She already is an old maid To her, death is quite romantic She wears an iron vest Her profession's her religion Her sin is her lifelessness And though her eyes are fixed upon Jerry's great rainbow ASL just spends her time peeking Into Desolation Row. Boo469 disguised as Kurt009 With his memories in a trunk Passed this way an hour ago With his friend, a jealous monk and kids in tow... He looked so immaculately frightful As he bummed a cigarette Then he went off sniffing drainpipes And reciting the alphabet You would not think to look at him But he was famous long ago For playing the electric violin On Desolation Row. rrrrgrrrr, he keeps his world Inside of a coffee cup But all his sexless patients They're trying to blow it up Now his nurse, some local loser She's in charge of the cyanide hole And she also keeps the cards that read "Have Mercy on His Soul" They all play on penny whistles You can hear them blow If you lean your head out far enough From Desolation Row. Across the street they've nailed the curtains They're getting ready for the pic-a-nic geophantomoftheoperameister In a perfect image of a priest They're spoonfeeding Bobby69 To get him to feel more assured Then they'll kill him with self-confidence After poisoning him with words And Graceful is shouting to skinny girls "Get outa here if you don't know" Tfonts is just being punished for going To Desolation Row. At midnight all the Dreamers..... And the superhuman crew Come out and round up everyone That knows more than they do Then they bring them to the factory Where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders And then the kerosene Is brought down from the castles By insurance men who go Check to see that nobody is escaping To Desolation Row. Praise be to Gobs black Licorice Ba dus sails at dawn Spascarella's shouting "Which side are you on ?" And Miller's horse and mkav Fighting in the captain's tower While Geeky just laughs at them And Roadking just holds flowers Between the windows of the sea Where lovely mermaids flow And nobody has to think too much About Desolation Row. Yes, I received your letter yesterday About the time the door knob broke When you asked me how I was doing Was that some kind of joke ? All these people that you mention Yes, I know them, we're quite lame I had to rearrange their faces And give them all another name Right now I can't read too good Dont send me no more letters no Not unless you mail them from.... the Sunshine Daydreamers subforum....

the Bolo and the Bozo bus, one for lyric-based conversation and one for everything else? (Hey, we're talking Deadheads here, so boundaries are always a bit fluid. But broadly speaking...)

...this is sounding like the ol song and dance routine...which has always been an intricate part of the Grateful Dead scene. Sometimes I quickly scroll through the lyrics, sometimes I slow down and read them...either way, I'd rather not have to change buses to do that... I vote we keep it all together in one thread. We can sing, talk, dance, and otherwise entertain ourselves very nicely here....now, about that quick brown fox and the lazy dog... geothreedotjournalismrocksmeister

I second your notion! Or emotion... Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet But only for one night and no repeat And maybe you'll go away and never call And a taste of honey's worse than none at all Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part I do believe that, that would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me If you got the notion I second that emotion So, if you feel like givin' me A lifetime of devotion I second that emotion Ooh Maybe you think that love would tie you down And you don't have the time to hang around Maybe you think that love was made for fools And so it makes you wise to break the rules Oh little girl In that case I don't want no part I do believe that, that would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me If you got the notion I second that emotion So, if you feel like givin' me A lifetime of devotion I second that emotion Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Oh little girl, In that case I don't want no part I do believe that, that would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me If you got the notion I second that emotion So, if you feel like givin' me A lifetime of devotion I second that emotion Oh, little girl I second that emotion [FADES] - Ooh little girl I second that emotion

Hey now, Miami and I have been in the back seat of bis dus since Chicago, we kinda like it here.....know the territory, enjoy the company and the laughs.... I agree, the lyric thing is often scrolled but the creative interplay and spontaneity can't be beat.....if the consensus is we get a sub forum, so be it, but she and I might just as well get a room and hop off at the next station.....either way...... ein zwei drei So ya Thought ya Might like to Go to the show. To feel that warm thrill of confusion, That space cadet glow. I've got some bad news for you sunshine, Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel And they sent us along as a surrogate band We're gonna find out where you folks really stand. Are there any queers in the theater tonight? Get them up against the wall! There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me, Get him up against the wall! That one looks Jewish! And that one's a coon! Who let all of this riff-raff into the room? There's one smoking a joint, And another with spots! If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot! time for a nap..... move over Sarge......

nice of you to say hello! The weather here in STL is fantastic! Breezy and in the low 80's. Where in the midwest do you hail from? Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy! Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch. Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin', [CHORUS:] Doo, doo, doo, Lookin' out my back door. There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels. Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn. A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens. [CHORUS] Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band. Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doo, doo doo. Wond'rous apparition provided by magician. [CHORUS] Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band. Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doo, doo doo. Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows. [CHORUS] Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy! Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn. Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows

Think he may be closer to here..... Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there I wish I had you, to talk to If a man ever needed dying he did No one had a right to say what he said about you And it's so cold and lonely here without you Out there the law is coming I've been so tired of running [Chorus] It hurts to see the man that I've become To know I'll never see the morning sunshine on the land I'll never see your smiling face or touch your hand If just once more I could see You, our home and our little baby I hope this letter finds it's way to you Forgive me love for the shame I've put you through and all the tears Hang on love to the memories of those happy years Red lights are flashing around me Good Lord it looks like they found me Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there (This is the police. You are surrounded. Give yourself up)

What part of the Midwest is close to Da Buff? Harry got up Dressed all in black Went down to the station And he never came back They found his clothing Scattered somewhere down the track And he won't be down on Wall Street in the morning He had a home The love of a girl But men get lost sometimes As years unfurl One day he crossed some line And he was too much in this world But I guess it doesn't matter anymore In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute Things can get pretty strange In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute Lying here in the darkness I hear the sirens wail Somebody going to emergency Somebody's going to jail If you find somebody to love in this world You better hang on tooth and nail The wolf is always at the door In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute Things can get a little strange In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute And in these days When darkness falls early And people rush home To the ones they love You better take a fool's advice And take care of your own One day they're here; Next day they're gone I pulled my coat around my shoulders And took a walk down through the park The leaves were falling around me The groaning city in the gathering dark On some solitary rock A desperate lover left his mark, "Baby, I've changed. Please come back." What the head makes cloudy The heart makes very clear The days were so much brighter In the time when she was here But I know there's somebody somewhere Make these dark clouds disappear Until that day, I have to believe I believe, I believe In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute You can get out of the rain In a New York Minute Everything can change In a New York Minute

Well, that about sums it up! I'm somewhere in between the Galleria and "Natural Bridge and Kingshighway" But what about this oldie... When Louis came home to the flat, He hung up his coat and his hat, He gazed all around But no wifey he found So he said "Where can Flossy be at" A note on the table he spied He read it just once then he cried It read 'Louis dear it's toos low for me here So I think I will go for a ride Oh Meet me in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair, Don't tell me the lights are shining Any place but there We will dance the hoochie koochie I will be your tootsie wootsie If you will meet me in st. Louis, Louis, Meet me at the fair (Company) Meet me in st. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair Don't tell me the lights are shining Any place but there We will dance the hoochie koochie I will be your tootsie wootsie If you will meet me in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair Road Trip indeed!

Bruce, first played live September 2002..... Oh what a thrill.... Every year when summer comes around They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town You can feel somethin' happenin' in the air Well from Carol's house up on Telegraph Hill You can see the lights goin' up out in the soldiers' field Gettin' ready for the county fair County fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, hey, we're goin' down there Hey little girl with the long blond hair Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears Baby down at the county fair Now you'll be hangin' tight when we hit the top And that rollercoaster's ready to drop And you brag, how you wasn't even scared* Well baby you know I just love the sound Of the pipe organ on the merry-go-round Baby down at the county fair** County fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, we're goin', goin' down there Hey little girl with the long blond hair Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears Baby down at the county fair Now at the north end of the field, well they set up a stand And they got a little Rock 'N' Roll band The people dancin', yeah, out in the open air Well it's James Young and the Immortal Ones Just two guitars, baby, bass and drums Just rockin' down at the county fair Well county fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, we're goin' down there Hey little girl with the long blond hair Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears Baby down at the county fair Now it's gettin' late before we head back to town We let the fortune wheel spin around Come on mister, tell me what's waitin' out there On my way out I steal a kiss in the dark Hope I can remember where our car's parked Baby at the county fair Now off down the highway there's the last stream of cars We sit a while in my front yard With the radio playin' soft and low I pull Carol close to my heart And I lean back and stare up at the stars Oh I wish never had to let this moment go

not many fair songs...per se I'll ride the rollercoaster or the carousel I like the Spider and the diving bell But since she's gone I don't like so well The ferris wheel I'll ride the Rockoplane or the Tilterwhirl It wasn't on these rides I lost my girl Way up high is where I lost her On a ferris wheel Pretty Ferris Wheel by your colored lights I saw someone steal her kiss from her that ni-ight I'll pay my fair and ride the bumper cars Those turning cars won't make the teardrops start But way up there is where she broke my heart On the ferris wheel On the ferris wheel On the ferris wheel My hometown has a ferris wheel factory, one of just a few in the country. They made Michael Jackson's ferris wheel in his Fantasyland. Big Eli Ferris Wheel Co.

Here we come in a cloud stars in our eyesStanding up proud it's the perfect disguise We've got so much to give, so much to gain Just give me your money, and I'll give you my pain It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) Now Tia Maria, she leans on the wall Looks in the mirror and pukes on the floor Tries to remember the cause of it all He just gave her a drink so she gave him a ball It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) But I expect you expect a lot from me I can feel your burning need Your greedy seedy Fantasies are guaranteed To make my young heart bleed For you, and your pubescent blues, yes You and your dancin shoes You... And your sad glad news About your boyfriend Stan He's a dirty flirty man And he'll get you if he can, look out Here I stand in a daze axe in my hand Another fool on the stage with a traveling band There's a space in my heart... Permanent flame Just give me your body and I'll give you my brain It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) Now Venus De Milo a statue of note She lays in the gutter, with a knife in her throat Naked as sin no, not even a coat She gave you a thrill so you gave her a grope It's a fair exchange (fair exchange) Still, I expect you expect a lot from me I know you all The show goes on despite the wrong The strong still rise And the weak still fall This song is up to you All along, you never knew This song Is comin on through To take you for a ride It's tested true and tried Even though it almost lied And we have a merri go round manufacturing plant....go figure... It's a fair exchange...

.....so bring me back down..... Well the times gettin' hard for you little girl I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over god's world You don't remember when you got your last meal And you forgot just how a woman feels You didn't know what rock n' roll was Until you met a drummer on a greyhound bus I got there in the nick of time Before he got his hands across your state line Well in the middle of the night On the open road And the heater don't work and it's oh-so cold You're gettin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat The music of the street, drive you off your feet You didn't know how rock n' roll looked Until you caught your sister with a guy from the group Half-way home in the parking lot By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got Once bitten twice shy, babe Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep All the blood on my hand and my les paul heat I can't leave you home cos you're runnin' around My best friend told me you're the best trick in town You didn't know that rock n' roll burned So you bought a candle and you loved and you learned You got the rhythm, you got the speed Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet Once bitten twice shy, babe I didn't know ya got a rock n' roll record Until a saw your picture on another guy's jacket You told me I was the only one And look at you now, well it's dark as it's dumb Once bitten twice shy, babe

Dont look up the band...just read the lyrics. I do not condone listening to the makers of this song... There is no hope for you and me Cause this long drive might be [The last time I take the wheel] You're not sure how you feel I think the spotlight Always gives you stage fright Wish this song would end right Wish that you would stop Makin' my head spin Over and over it's over but what if we... If we just pretend You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star This isn't right you said It takes some time you know Let's try again tonight This fight is getting old I think the spotlight Always gives you stage fright Wish this song would end right Wish that you would stop Makin' my head spin You're young but old enough to build up Falling walls and false love Wish this song would end I wish this song would end You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star We're done tonight We gotta pick it up slowly Can I hear your voice What a perfect story Can I pick you up You can be my star Now the spotlight's on, move close for the final scene You'll play the love and baby I'll play the lead So strike a pose and fake a smile you're coming with me I'll strum my guitar 'cause girl I know how you are You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star You're just a little bit camera shy but you're still a star good evening to you rrrgrrr...keep on truckin'!!!!!

you edited your post goddammmit....one too many m's..... The screen door slams Mary' dress waves Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again Don't run back inside Darling you know just what I'm here for So you're scared and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright with me You can hide 'neath your covers And study your pain Make crosses from your lovers Throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in vain For a saviour to rise from these streets Well now I'm no hero That's understood All the redemption I can offer girl Is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now ? Except roll down the window And let the wind blow Back your hair Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back Heaven's waiting on down the tracks Oh-oh come take my hand We're riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh-oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold Thunder Road Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk And my car's out back If you're ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The door's open but the ride it ain't free And I know you're lonely For words that I ain't spoken But tonight we'll be free All the promises'll be broken There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch they're gone On the wind so Mary climb in It's town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win Later kid.....high to Matt

Good Afternoon all...It's hump day! Children play in the park, they don't know I'm alone in the dark, even though Time and time again I see your face smiling inside I'm so happy That you love me Life is lovely When you're near me Tell me you will stay Make me smile Living life is just a game so they say All the games we used to play fade away We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago Oh my darling, got to have you. Feel the magic when I hold you Cry sweet tears of joy, touch the sky Now I need you more than ever. No more crying - we're together Tell me you will stay. Make me smile

Happy Humping Holly..... Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
