"When facing the wind out with you, We rallied and raised up. So now when she comes back kickin', We'll know what we're made of. There's gonna be opposition; We got everything we need. Ooh baby we're a dying breed."

"If you could see through the banner of the sun Into eternity's eyes, like a vision reaching down to you, Would you turn away? What if it knew you by your name? What kind of words would cut through the clutter of the whirlwind of these days?"

"Run for cover, Run while you can, baby, don't look back. You gotta run for cover. Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man. You know you're not the only one. And don't look back, just run for cover."

"Don't give up on me 'Cause I'm just in a rut. I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up."

"I know the score like the back of my hand. Them other boys, I don't give a damn. They kiss on the ring, I carry the crown. Nothing can break, nothing can break me down. Don't need no advice, I got a plan. I know the direction, the lay of the land, I know the score like the back of my hand. Them other boys, I don't give a damn."

"Motherless child dost thou believe That thine afflictions have caused us to grieve? Motherless child angels have closed Their eyes, thou wast thrown away and exposed."

"Racing shadows through the moonlight Through the desert on a hot night. For a second there we won, We were innocent and young."

"Spent the summer just layin' out in the sun. Time seems to move so slowly, when you're taking it as it comes. Maybe we were just too young. Your body was tan and your hair was long. You shot me a smile and my cares were gone Fallin' in love filled my soul with fright You said, "Come on, babe, it'll be alright." I must've been a fool to the bitter end, Now I hold on to hope that I'll have you back again."

"Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind, A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand. I'd been on her trail for a little while, But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand. A teenage rush. She said, "Ain't we all just runaways? We got time."But that ain't much. We can't wait till tomorrow. You got to know that this is real, baby, why you want to fight it? It's the one thing you can choose, oh!"

"The storm maker says, "It ain't so bad." The dream maker's gonna make you mad. The spaceman says, "Everybody look down, It's all in your mind.""

"Always here, always on time Close call, was it love or was it just easy? Money talks when people need shoes and socks. Steady boys, I'm thinking she needs me.I was just sipping on something sweet, I don't need political process."

"Or should I just get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else. I've been trying hard to do what's right, But you know I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky."

"The good old days, the honest man, The restless heart, the Promised Land. A subtle kiss that no one sees, A broken wrist and a big trapeze. Oh, well, I don't mind if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine. Before you go, can you read my mind?"

"There was an open chair. We sat down in the open chair. I said if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest of my mind. But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to. And my eyes, they don’t see you no more. And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to. And my eyes don’t recognize you at all.For reasons unknown, For reasons unknown."

"I pack my case. I check my face. I look a little bit older. I look a little bit colder. With one deep breath, and one big step, I move a little bit closer. I move a little bit closer, For reasons unknown."

"They say the devil's water — it ain't so sweet. You don't have to drink right now, But you can dip your feet Every once in a little while."

"We hope you enjoy your stay Outside the sun is shining It seems like heaven ain't far away."

"Why do you waste my time? Is the answer to the question on your mind. And I'm sick of all my judges; So scared of what they'll find. But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then."

"I got soul but I'm not a soldier Time, truth, and hearts."

"Breaking my back just to know your name, Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game. I'm breaking my back just to know your name. But heaven ain't close in a place like this, Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss. 'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this, I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this. Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (Ooh-ooh), Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight.Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year. It's not confidential, I've got potential."

"Save some face, you know you've only got one. Change your ways while you're young. Boy, one day you'll be a man, Oh, girl, he'll help you understand.Smile like you mean it. Smile like you mean it."

"Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibi. But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me. Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside."

"Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all. It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss."

"We took a walk tonight, but it wasn't the same. We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain. She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go. She couldn't scream while i held her close, I swore i'd never, let her go."

"Now no one's knocked upon my door For a thousand years or more. All made up and nowhere to go; Welcome to this one man show.Just take a seat they're always free, No surprise no mystery. In this theatre that I call my soul, I always play the starring role."

"You consider me the young apprentice Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis. Hypnotized by you if I should linger, Staring at the ring around your finger.I have only come here seeking knowledge, Things they wouldn't teach me of in college. I can see the destiny you sold Turned into a shining band of gold.I'll be wrapped around your finger. I'll be wrapped around your finger."

"There's a little black spot on the sun today; It's the same old thing as yesterday. There's a black hat caught in a high tree top; There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop.I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain. I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign, But it's my destiny to be the king of pain."

"Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace. I dream at night I can only see your face. I look around but it's you I can't replace. I feel so cold and I long for your embrace. I keep crying baby, baby please.Oh can't you see You belong to me? How my poor heart aches With every step you take."

"Every breath you take; Every move you make; Every bond you break; Every step you take, I'll be watching you."

"Another working day has ended, Only the rush hour hell to face. Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes, Contestants in a suicidal race. Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance. He knows that something somewhere has to break. He sees the family home now looming in his headlights, The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache."

"Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration, But we know all her suicides are fake. Daddy only stares into the distance, There's only so much heartache he can take. Many miles away, Something crawls from the slime At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake."

"You will see light in the darkness; You will make some sense of this. When you've made your secret journey, You will find this love you miss."

"There has to be an invisible sun. It gives its heat to everyone. There has to be an invisible sun. That gives us hope when the whole day's done."

"I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way. But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone, Long before tongue has tripped me, Must I always be alone?Every little thing she does is magic; Everything she do just turns me on. Even though my life before was tragic, Now I know my love for her goes on."

"I sold my house I sold my motor, too. All I want is to be next to you. I'd rob a bank Maybe steal a plane. You took me over, Think I'm goin' insane."

"There is no political solution To our troubled evolution. Have no faith in constitution, There is no bloody revolution.We are spirits in the material world."

"Poets, priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions. Words that scream for your submission And no one's jamming their transmission. 'Cos when their eloquence escapes you, Their logic ties you up and rapes you."

"Don't think me unkind, Words are hard to find. They're only cheques I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind. And when their eloquence escapes me, Their logic ties me up and rapes me."

"Turn on the radio, the static hurts my ears. Tell me, where would I go? I ain't been out in years. Turn on the stereo, it's played for years and years: An Otis Redding song, it's all I own."

"Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw: A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore. Seems I'm not alone at being alone A hundred billion castaways, looking for a home."

"I guess this is our last goodbye, And you don't care so I won't cry. But you'll be sorry when I'm dead, And all this guilt will be on your head.I guess you'd call it suicide, But I'm too full to swallow my pride."

"I've called you so many times today, And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say. That you don't ever want to see me again, And your brother's going to kill me and he's six feet ten. I guess you'd call it cowardice, But I'm not prepared to go on like this.I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing. I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing. I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing. I can't stand losing you..."

"Roxanne, You don't have to put on the red light. Those days are over, You don't have to sell your body to the night.Roxanne, You don't have to wear that dress tonight. Walk the streets for money, You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right."
