You say you're down on your luck hey baby, its a long, long way up hold back now, hold back your fears you say you're really down and out and you feel like there's no way out now let go now let go of your tears some more How many times have you asked yourself is this the hand of fate that I've been dealt? you're so disillusioned this can't be real and you can't stand now the way you feel I don't care about what they say I won't live or die that way tired of figuring out things on my own angel's wings wont you carry me home And when you're down on your luck hey baby, its a long, long way up hold back now, hold back your fears and when you're really down and out and you feel like there's no way out now let go now let go of your tears some more I triumphed in the face of adversity and I became the man I never thought I'd be and now my biggest challenge, a thing called love I guess I'm not as tough as I thought I was I don't care about what they say I'm gonna marry you some day go ahead and wake up, its a brand new day Angel's wings gonna carry you away Angel's wings are going to carry me away Angel's wings are going to carry us away

Think of all the things I do, I still hold the thought of you, With someone else I know it's true, so far away, And I can only hold hold my breath, start to die a lonely death, With you and me and all the rest, so far away, Don't say I told you so, One thing you'll never know, You're not the same, You've changed, I don't need you anyways, You're not the person that I believed in yesterday, You're not the same, You've changed, Something's different; Rearranged. You're not the person that I believed in yesterday. I cant hold it back you see, I know it all comes back to me, You must have practiced hard to get so far away, You never wanted me to to show, Write me off, I'll let you go, now there's more for you to know so far away, Don't say I told you so, One thing you'll never know, You're not the same, You've changed, I don't need you anyways, You're not the person that I believed in yesterday, You're not the same, You've changed, Something's different; Rearranged. You're not the person that I believed in yesterday

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry cry cry, Showed the clouds how to cover up that clear blue sky. The tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river, And I'm a gonna sit right here til the day I die. Well I met her accidentally in st. Paul, Minnesota, Tore me up everything I heard her drawl, southern drawl. Well I heard my dream was back downstream, cavortin' in davenport, I followed you big river when you called. Then you took me to st. Louie, later on down the river, a freighter said that she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone. I found her trail in Memphis, took a walk down and up the block, I raised a few eyebrows, then I went on alone. Now won't you batter down to the baton rouge, river queen roll it on, Take that woman on down to new Orleans, new Orleans. Go on, I've had enough, throw my blues down in the gulf, She loves you big river more than me. Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry cry cry, Showed the clouds how to cover up that clear blue sky. The tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river, And I'm a gonna sit right here til the day I die.

Sucker love is heaven sent. You pucker up, our passion's spent. My hearts a tart, your body's rent. My body's broken, yours is bent. Carve your name into my arm. Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed. Cuz there's nothing else to do, Every me and every you. Sucker love, a box I choose. No other box I choose to use. Another love I would abuse, No circumstances could excuse. In the shape of things to come. Too much poison come undone. Cuz there's nothing else to do, Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me... Sucker love is known to swing. Prone to cling and waste these things. Pucker up for heavens sake. There's never been so much at stake. I serve my head up on a plate. It's only comfort, calling late. Cuz there's nothing else to do, Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me... Every me and every you, Every Me... Like the naked leads the blind. I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind. Sucker love I always find, Someone to bruise and leave behind. All alone in space and time. There's nothing here but what here's mine. Something borrowed, something blue. Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me...

I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution. I had the style, I had the ambition. I read all the authors, I knew the right slogans. There was no war but the class war. I was ready to set the world on fire. I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution. Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire? I was a teenage anarchist, but the politics were too convenient. In the depths of their humanity all I saw was bloodless ideology. And with freedom as the doctrine, guess who was the new authority? I was a teenage anarchist, but the politics were too convenient. Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire? I was a teenage anarchist, but the scene got way too rigid. It was a mob mentality, they set their rifle sights on me. Narrow visions of autonomy, you want me to surrender my identity. I was a teenage anarchist, the revolution was a lie. Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire? I was a teenage anarchist.

Maybe in another life I could find you there Pulled away before your time I can't deal it's so unfair And it feels And it feels like Heaven's so far away And it stings it stings now, The world is so cold Now that you've gone away Leaving flowers on your grave to show that I still care But black roses and Hail Mary's Can't bring back what's taken from me I reach to the sky And call out your name And if I could trade I would And it feels And it feels like Heaven's so far away And it stings it stings now The world is so cold Now that you've gone away I'd sell my soul. I reach to the sky And call out your name And if I could trade I would And it feels And it feels like Heaven's so far away And it stings it stings now The world is so cold Now that you've gone away

Yasser 02:45
I count the raindrops on my window, He can count all his friends upon his hands. He's sick and tired of feeling shallow, I wish someone would understand, But I'm not what I thought and I dont want to pretend That i will see you again. So, I've got what you lost and what you have left behind; Family and friends. I wish that things could be more simple, why do we die at our own hands? Is there life after your heartache Now that you're resting in the sands? I saw your smile inside a photo, we were arm in arm outside a show. We're holding on to broken memories, afraid to let go, But I'm not what I thought and I dont want to pretend That we would see you again. Now we've got what you lost and what you have left behind; This family and friends. Your legacy wont end. This love and memories wont end. Your memory wont end.

Water gray Through the windows, up the stairs Chilling rain Like an ocean everywhere Don't wanna reach for me, do you? I mean nothin' to you The little things give you away And now there will be no mistakin' The levees are breakin' All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you And six feet under water I do Hope decays Generations disappear Washed away As a nation simply stares Don't wanna reach for me do you I mean nothin' to you The little things give you away But there will be no mistakin' The levees are breakin' All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you And six feet under water I do All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you And six feet under ground now I, Now I do. Little things give you away Little things give you away Little things give you away Little things give you away All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away) Was someone to truly look up to you (Little things give you away) All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away) Was someone to truly look up to you (Little things give you away) All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away) Was someone to truly look up to you (Little things give you away) All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away) Was someone to truly look up to you (Little things give you away) All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away) Was someone to truly look up to you (Little things give you away) All you've ever wanted (Little things give you away) Was someone to truly look up to you (Little things give you away)
