I throw my hands up for ya
When I cannot sleep I call ya
You’re crazy but I love ya more and more everyday
I don’t know where it goes this roller coaster winding road
Flip on the TV kick off your shoes
You’re stuck with me and I’m stuck with you
Whether the rain or sunny
When you’re on the edge I’ll jump in
When you get lost I’m coming anytime you call
You give me a running start
I’ll race you all the way home
You’re stuck with me and I’m stuck with you
We got nowhere else to go
Weather the storm
Find a way Take the high road
We’ll find the light
Stick it out together
Static on the TV secondhand news
You’re stuck with me and I’m stuck with you
Flip on the TV kick off your shoes
You’re stuck with me and I’m stuck with you -
We don’t have to know
Anyone at all
Anyone at all
Draw the blinds back slow
Sun fades in the room
Two begin to bloomSilk skin lovers danced
With diamonds in their hands
Diamonds in their hands
We could feel like them
Rarely would we ask
Of things we used to haveIs that cool with you?
That I wanna call your name
Is that cool with you?
That I wanna call your name
Is that news to you?
That I wanna call your name
Is that cool with you?
That I wanna callWe don’t have to go
Anywhere at all
Anywhere at all
Bless our garden’s growth
Ivy climbs the wall
Heather in the fallSmoke-screen those who stand
So righteous in our path
That never thought to ask
We’ll define what’s fair
Oh baby they prefer
Illusion to despairIs that cool with you?
That I wanna call your name
Is that cool with you?
That I wanna call your name
Is that news to you?
That I wanna call your name
Is that cool with you?
That I wanna callI see their heads against the windows
Breathing on the glass
Dreaming of the day that they can finally relax
If only this normality
Belonged to more than fantasy
It’s too muchWell they’re hoping and faking
They’re curled in disdain
The flowers too tall for the table again
But it’s alright, they called it faithIs that cool with you?
That I wanna call your name
Is that cool with you?
That I wanna call your name -
Just give me a second darling to clear my head
Just put down those scissors baby on this single bedThe sand in the hourglass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold wind, the rain and the snow
To find you awake by your windowsill
A sight for sore eyes and a view to killI broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon shone through cracks in your hair
I shouted with passion, “I love you so much”
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touchYou whispered, “Where are you?”
I questioned your doubt
But soon realized you were talking to God nowYou’ve got blood on your hands and I know it’s mine, I just need more time
So get off your low and let’s dance like we used to
But there’s a light in the distance waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, let’s kiss like we used toI looked in the mirror but something was wrong
I saw you behind but my reflection was gone
There was smoke in the fireplace as white as the snow
A voice beckoned gently, now it’s time to goA requiem played as you begged for forgiveness
“Don’t touch me”, I screamed
“I’ve got unfinished business”You’ve got blood on your hands and I know it’s mine, I just need more time
So get off your low and let’s dance like we used to
But there’s a light in the distance waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, let’s kiss like we used toYou’ve got blood on your hands and I know it’s mine, I just need more time
So get off your low and let’s dance like we used to
But there’s a light in the distance waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, let’s kiss like we used to -
optimism,
optimism perished from the face of my earth
and then you came along, came along and swept me away,
she kissed me, as we stood on the edge,
the night made the day as we made for the bridge
it started raining hard, and i saw we may live to regretno i never really understood
no i never really understood why,
because i’ve never been given,
never been given two tries,
no i never really understood,
understood why…pessimism,
pessimism perished from the face of my earth,
and then you came along, came along and swept me away,
did you miss me? did you miss me as we walked
through the pain, attached the chain so you could
see me again
i started asking myself, did i teach you right?no i never really understood
no i never really understood why,
because i’ve never been given,
never been given two tries,
no i never really understood,
understood why…understood why…
you came to me, you broke the bonds,
you set me free
and then the love that you promised me
came a tumblin’ tumblin’ tumblin’ down
into my hands…no i never really understood
no i never really understood why,
because i’ve never been given,
never been given two tries,
no i never really understood,
understood why…so teacher teach me…

Don’t take this the wrong way
You knew who I was with every step that I ran to you
Only blue or black days
Electing strange perfections in any stranger I chooseWould things be easier if there was a right way?
Honey there is no right wayAnd so I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone newThere’s an art to life’s distractions
To somehow escapes the burning weight, the art of scraping through
Some like to imagine
The dark caress of someone else, I guess any thrill will doWould things be easier if there was a right way?
Honey there is no right wayAnd so I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone newI wake at the first crink of morning
And my heart’s already sinned
How pure, how sweet a love, Aretha, that you would pray for him?‘Cause God knows I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every dayLove with every stranger the stranger the better
Love with every stranger the stranger the better
Love with every stranger the stranger the better
Love with every stranger the stranger the betterI fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new -
I saw your eyes
And you made me smile
For a little while
I was falling in loveI saw your eyes
And you touched my mind
Although it took a while
I was falling in loveI was falling in love
I saw your eyes
And you made me cry
And for a little while
I was falling in loveI was falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love -
Stop making the eyes at me
I’ll stop making the eyes at you
What it is that surprises me
Is that I don’t really want you toAnd your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you’re an explosion (you’re dynamite)
Your name isn’t Rio, but I don’t care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-ohI bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don’t know if you’re looking for romance or
I don’t know what you’re looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984I wish you’d stop ignoring me
Because you’re sending me to despair
Without a sound, yeah, you’re calling me
And I don’t think it’s very fairThat your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you’re an explosion (you’re dynamite)
Your name isn’t Rio, but I don’t care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-ohI bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don’t know if you’re looking for romance or
I don’t know what you’re looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984Oh, there ain’t no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Just banging tunes and DJ sets and
Dirty dance floors and dreams of naughtinessWell, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don’t know if you’re looking for romance or
I don’t know what you’re looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Said, from 1984 -
It’s a fine line between courage and fear
You can’t see the ghosts, but you know that they’re here
Blame it on the sinners, blame it on saints
Blame it on the pills, you‘re pouring down the drain
Blame it on the truth, lights you tracked away
Blame it on the pressure, but all we want is pain
Didn’t see you coming, didn’t see the signs
Didn’t see tomorrow stare right in my eyesI, I never ask why the wicked live and the good ones die
Time, time ran out of time, we all kill to survive
I would take a bullet for you, my heart is made of stone
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
My heart is made of stone
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bulletBlame the politicians, the corporations too
Blame it on the immigrants, cuz they dont look like you
Blame it on the money, blame it on the fame
Blame it on the love and fools that play that game
Blame it on your mother, cuz daddy walked away
You can keep on running, but you can’t them make ‘em stay
Blame it on the drummer, said one, two, three
Marching down the hallway, coming after meI, I never ask why the wicked live and the good ones die
Time, time ran out of time, we all kill to survive
I would take a bullet for you, my heart is made of stone
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
My heart is made of stone
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
My heart is made of stoneI, I never ask why the wicked live and the good ones die
Time, time we’re out of time, we all kill to survive -
Bury me with a sword, with a chain and ache
I’m alive with the flyers, with the flames at stake
To be gone in a thought that’s arranged by you
To be formed by a shape that’s innate of youI will wake from the rain from the light of you
Take a knife to my chest, I’m alive by youOoh, ooh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessMake the fall, take the fire
Fuck the law nicely
Tint it all with desire
Shape the form I seeI’m alive with a knife, with a wife in me
I’m a crane looking out at the hypocrisyOoh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessTake the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the skyOoh, ooh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessTake your wars of your faiths
Of your bitterness, please
Take your wars of your faiths
Of your ignorance and leaveI will wake from the rain from the light of you
Take a knife to my chest, I’m alive by youOoh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessTake the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the sky -
Whole stage is set like always
Won’t be long before I’m gone
See them coming through the doorway
Wonderin’ whose side they are on
So I take one shot in the darkness
And move alongI was on the way to Memphis
Got no love from Caroline
How much longer can I do this?
Leaving half my heart behind
It takes one shot in the darkness
To change my mindAnd the years are passing by me
Oh, the years are running on
The fire below is coming and it won’t be longGot enough left just to get there
Not enough to make it through
If I cannot live without this
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
So I’ll take one more shot in the darkness
Aim for you
Oh, I’ll take one more shot in the darkness
Ooh
