    Way down among Brazilians Coffee beans grow by the billions So they've got to find those extra cups to fill They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil You can't get cherry soda 'cause they've got to fill that quota And the way things are I'll bet they never will They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil No tea or tomato juice You'll see no potato juice 'cause the planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no" The politician's daughter Was accused of drinkin' water And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil You date a girl and find out later She smells just like a percolator Her perfume was made right on the grill Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil And when their ham and eggs need savor Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor Coffee pickles way outsell the dill Why, they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil No tea, no tomato juice You'll see no potato juice The planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no" So you'll add to the local color Serving coffee with a cruller Dunkin' doesn't take a lot of skill They've got an awful lot of coffee An awful lot of coffee Man, they got a gang of coffee in Brazil!!

    I’ve seen love go by my doorIt’s never been this close before Never been so easy or so slow Been shooting in the dark too long When somethin’s not right it’s wrong Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go Dragon clouds so high above I’ve only known careless love It’s always hit me from below This time around it’s more correct Right on target, so direct Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go Purple clover, Queen Anne’s Lace Crimson hair across your face You could make me cry if you don’t know Can’t remember what I was thinkin’ of You might be spoilin’ me too much, love Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go Flowers on the hillside, bloomin’ crazy Crickets talkin’ back and forth in rhyme Blue river runnin’ slow and lazy I could stay with you forever and never realize the time Situations have ended sad Relationships have all been bad Mine’ve been like Verlaine’s and Rimbaud But there’s no way I can compare All those scenes to this affair Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go Yer gonna make me wonder what I’m doin’ Stayin’ far behind without you Yer gonna make me wonder what I’m sayin’ Yer gonna make me give myself a good talkin’ to I’ll look for you in old Honolulu San Francisco, Ashtabula Yer gonna have to leave me now, I know But I’ll see you in the sky above In the tall grass, in the ones I love Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

    To my mind, Desire and Blood on the Tracks are intertwined. Such contrast in dark & light, cynicism and innocence. Buckets of rain Buckets of tears Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears Buckets of moonbeams in my hand You got all the love Honey baby, I can stand I been meek And hard like an oak I seen pretty people disappear like smoke Friends will arrive, friends will disappear If you want me Honey baby, I'll be here I like your smile And your fingertips Like the way that you paint your lips I like the cool way you look at me Everything about you is bringing me misery Little red wagon Little red bike I ain't no monkey but I know what I like I like the way you love me strong and slow I'm takin' you with me Honey baby, when I go Life is sad Life is a bust All ya can do is do what you must You do what you must do and ya do it well I'll do it for you Honey baby, can't you tell?

    boy do I love that disc....When I first got SXM in 2004,....free trial in my Impala at the time, I put on Deep Tracks ....this came on, never heard it before....knew the rest of the album though.... Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun Dust on my face and my cape Me and Magdalena on the run I think this time we shall escape Sold my guitar to the baker’s son For a few crumbs and a place to hide But I can get another one And I’ll play for Magdalena as we ride No Ilores, mi querida Dios nos vigila Soon the horse will take us to Durango Agarrame, mi vida Soon the desert will be gone Soon you will be dancing the fandango Past the Aztec ruins and the ghosts of our people Hoofbeats like castanets on stone At night I dream of bells in the village steeple Then I see the bloody face of Ramon Was it me that shot him down in the cantina Was it my hand that held the gun? Come, let us fly, my Magdalena The dogs are barking and what’s done is done No Ilores, mi querida Dios nos vigila Soon the horse will take us to Durango Agarrame, mi vida Soon the desert will be gone Soon you will be dancing the fandango At the corrida we’ll sit in the shade And watch the young torero stand alone We’ll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed When they rode with Villa into Torreón Then the padre will recite the prayers of old In the little church this side of town I will wear new boots and an earring of gold You’ll shine with diamonds in your wedding gown The way is long but the end is near Already the fiesta has begun The face of God will appear With His serpent eyes of obsidian No Ilores, mi querida Dio nos vigila Soon the horse will take us to Durango Agarrame, mi vida Soon the desert will be gone Soon you will be dancing the fandango Was that the thunder that I heard? My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain Come sit by me, don’t say a word Oh, can it be that I am slain? Quick, Magdalena, take my gun Look up in the hills, that flash of light Aim well my little one We may not make it through the night No Ilores, mi querida Dios nos vigila Soon the horse will take us to Durango Agarrame, mi vida Soon the desert will be gone Soon you will be dancing the fandango oh well, one more cup of coffee for the road.....happy weekend Katniss.....

    Up on the white veranda She wears a necktie and a Panama hat Her passport shows a face From another time and place She looks nothin’ like that And all the remnants of her recent past Are scattered in the wild wind She walks across the marble floor Where a voice from the gambling room is callin’ her to come on in She smiles, walks the other way As the last ship sails and the moon fades away From Black Diamond Bay As the mornin’ light breaks open, the Greek comes down And he asks for a rope and a pen that will write “Pardon, monsieur,” the desk clerk says Carefully removes his fez “Am I hearin’ you right?” And as the yellow fog is liftin’ The Greek is quickly headin’ for the second floor She passes him on the spiral staircase Thinkin’ he’s the Soviet Ambassador She starts to speak, but he walks away As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches sway On Black Diamond Bay A soldier sits beneath the fan Doin’ business with a tiny man who sells him a ring Lightning strikes, the lights blow out The desk clerk wakes and begins to shout “Can you see anything?” Then the Greek appears on the second floor In his bare feet with a rope around his neck While a loser in the gambling room lights up a candle Says, “Open up another deck” But the dealer says, “Attendez-vous, s’il vous plait” As the rain beats down and the cranes fly away From Black Diamond Bay The desk clerk heard the woman laugh As he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got tough He tried to grab the woman’s hand Said, “Here’s a ring, it cost a grand” She said, “That ain’t enough” Then she ran upstairs to pack her bags While a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curb She passed the door that the Greek had locked Where a handwritten sign read, “Do Not Disturb” She knocked upon it anyway As the sun went down and the music did play On Black Diamond Bay “I’ve got to talk to someone quick!” But the Greek said, “Go away,” and he kicked the chair to the floor He hung there from the chandelier She cried, “Help, there’s danger near Please open up the door!” Then the volcano erupted And the lava flowed down from the mountain high above The soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the corner Thinking of forbidden love But the desk clerk said, “It happens every day” As the stars fell down and the fields burned away On Black Diamond Bay As the island slowly sank The loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room The dealer said, “It’s too late now You can take your money, but I don’t know how You’ll spend it in the tomb” The tiny man bit the soldier’s ear As the floor caved in and the boiler in the basement blew While she’s out on the balcony, where a stranger tells her “My darling, je vous aime beaucoup” She sheds a tear and then begins to pray As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away From Black Diamond Bay I was sittin’ home alone one night in L.A. Watchin’ old Cronkite on the seven o’clock news It seems there was an earthquake that Left nothin’ but a Panama hat And a pair of old Greek shoes Didn’t seem like much was happenin’, So I turned it off and went to grab another beer Seems like every time you turn around There’s another hard-luck story that you’re gonna hear And there’s really nothin’ anyone can say And I never did plan to go anyway To Black Diamond Bay haha! Is it a song, or a 1940's black & white movie? Happy weekend!

The final countdown Oh! We're heading for Venus (Venus) And still we stand tall 'Cause maybe they've seen us (seen us) And welcome us all, yeah.

Gotta keep on floating down the river... Division is confusion It can drive you up a wall Like any good illusion It ain't anything at all One was always fine before We figured out how to get one more Now it's another and another Still we ain't got nothing at all Let me tell you somethin' Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up The lines we draw between things But there's a wall around my heart Talk to climb the big things And still I don't know where to start Fallen angel?s making plans Breaking deals and shaking hands Build it up and you hope that it stands Out further and further apart Let me tell you somethin' Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds Every thing is one thing, honey Every thing's been done There ain't nothin' new under the sun It adds up to one, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up It all adds up, it all adds up

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.

it's been a fun trip.... This ones Deadicated to us..... They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors Mortatone is in town Here comes Mayor Klangstone and Mad Swan Disease... His custom amps got them in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in their pants And Oat Willie and Pam who says hi are restless They need somewhere to go As Pupper and I look out tonight From Desolation Row. Katniss, she seems so easy "It takes one to know one," she smiles :-) And puts her hands in her back pockets Tom Hanlon style....nice hat brah! 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....

Hello lovely people! We have among us a poet and didn't know it. Thanks, rrrrgrrrr for that thoughtful piece, including all of us merry pranksters. Makes me a bit verklempt... As for a new thread....I dont think we need it...thoughts? The page loads fine for me still and I would hate to leave all the other thoughts and memories from this forum behind. Geoits420somewheremeister had the honors of post 4020...but it doesn't have to stop there... On the road again Just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again On the road again Goin' places that I've never been Seein' things that I may never see again And I can't wait to get on the road again On the road again Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway We're the best of friends Insisting that the world be turnin' our way And our way Is on the road again Just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again On the road again Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway We're the best of friends Insisting that the world be turnin' our way And our way Is on the road again Just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again And I can't wait to get on the road again

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
