Dwelling on the moon
the peace, the quiet I crave
I’ve seen the boys turn good
the taste of sour comrade
We made love mad
now I can’t sleep
I want to talk about now
but I keep writing about then
I tried telling you the truth so many times
hiding behind that fake old line
we’re in the letting go business
and business is high
competition is a blessing when you look it in the eye
We like sitting at home
looking like ourselves ten years ago
no babies in mind no mothers that cry no worries in life
say, what’s the difference between then and now?
Two wins in a row
and the sailors love song
but in Chinese
what perspicuous prose
Ding Dong
Don’t worry about it
just let it go
it will come back if needs to come back
you don’t know what you need anyhow let it be
let it stop
I’m on the shivering track
The water is warm from yesterday’s storm
I’m the shivering mutt
mind what you ask
shortness of breath
shooting all the way to the stars
I couldn’t stand on my feet
I crawled to this foreign ER
but I didn’t let them take the blood
I was too scared of the results
but I knew deep down that there is nothing to worry about
we all go out
A friend comes to me for advice
I tell him don’t waste your time on her tonight
She ain’t what you need hang on, bleed
we talk vision shit over bottles of cheap wine
My friends upset, holding grudge
judging ain't a mother's job
I tell him pain is his biggest love
the food tastes weird like our first kiss
I’m carefully making up new dreams
everyday with my beautiful baby
No white December
Rain & Dirt
acclimating ain’t a singer's work
I go down
you’re with me everywhere i go
I don’t always feel safe
a lot of things stay the same
I’m optimistic, positive as always, meticulously strange
and how is you, since our last rendezvous
is it right to say we both live that day
over and over and over again
I’d never know and I’d never ask
knowing ain't the patient's task
No white December
Rain and dirt
Thirty five years old
I go down, you're with me everywhere I go
Our next hello would be our last goodbye
I work hard to keep that day as far
as two oceans separating time
Too much noise
too much sadness
too much sales
too much to ask them
too much muscle
too much smoke
too much music
too much hope
too much dusk
too much hate
too much social
too much at stake
too much love
too much love
too much love
too much love
too much Kafka
too much beer
too much poetry
too much to keep
too much coffee
too much rope
too much ceiling
too much love
too much love
too much love
too much love
Tell me are you for real?
Love will shine a hundred times a day
but she wouldn't stay, and just when you walk away
Love will shine like a spare dime
and she wouldn't hide
from the morning dew
like you do every time it gets tough
The only way out is in
Wrung that heart
get rid of that hiss
She doesn’t sweat
her iron silhouette
burns the room for two
Smoke my lungs a rush
At last, I know
I gave away my soul
I just hang on
to the last frond
then
she whispers
Like you do every time it gets tough
The only way out is in
Wrung that heart
get
When you feel lonely
Keep the door open
Someone will walk in
with a bottle of Gin
Still feeling lonely?
Drink some coffee
Keep above water
tomorrow is a new day
Don’t let go
make your own
You’re not alone
Remember
Tomorrow
A star is born
too much noise
too much sadness
too much sales
too much to ask them
too much muscle
too much smoke
too much music
too much hope
too much dusk
too much hate
too much social
too much at stake
too much love
too much love
too much love
too much love
too much Kafka
too much beer
too much poetry
too much to keep
too much coffee
too much rope
too much ceiling
This is not a joke
too much love
I hate to say this, but I love you
I hate to say it, but you were right
turns out you were the right glove
to all those wintery lonely nights
I hate to say this, but you move me
like no one else has done before
If I only knew that sooner
you’d probably be my “wonderwall”
some may say better late than never
I ain’t gonna wait that long
some may say “oh girl you're a dreamer”
I’m gonna wake up in New York
The streets are cold, and the ice is thick
turns out it is exactly what I need
to bundle flowers in your hair
make sure we never walk astray
because it’s time maybe I can find
just where the wind blows
when your mine, baby you are one of a kind and a hand full
storms come exactly when we need them
I took a cab and the bottle of wine
I was trying to live simply out of my mind
Now I’m empty and dark, and I’m itching my eye
When you see me again, I won’t be that shy
I threw out the window my keys and your book
I was trying new things they say life is renewed
now I'm all clean and wise, but I'm missing a friend
when you see him again, don't tell him I begged
Bold is the answer for the vacant heart
guns and roses don't play with trust
I can't say we didn't try
I can't say we weren't high
Let it stick; this is it
These days are sunny and cold
I recall days like these to be memorable
no one's hiding away, last look at our scars
tattooing our hands breaking guitars
When words are light, I keep apologizing
what a waste of great music in this coming scene
I forgive myself now, and it’s all that I do
I see life through a picture I’m painting for you
Bold is the answer for the vacant heart
guns and roses don't play with trust
I can't say we didn't try
I can't say we weren't high
Let it stick; this is it
What comes from fighting this war
Always trying to win, ending up sore
now I’m peaceful and lost and broke
but I’m happy I stuck to my folk.
What are we
Who can see
Past the soul past the pees
What are we
We are air
Rock & Roll
Hall of fame
End the war
Start the game
What are they
We are air
All the lies you had to say
To get people on your side
We get older either way
In the great or in the dark
What are we
