*h**g* Ha*e C*a*gedWonder Boys
A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train
Bridge #1:
Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose
Chorus
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but *h**g* ha*e c*a*ged
This place ain't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
Bridge #2
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
(chorus)
I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand
Bridge #3
Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street
(chorus)
I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Bridge #4
Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake
(chorus)
I'VE SEEN IT ALL
DANCES IN THE DARK
I'*e seen i* all
I have seen the trees
I have seen the willow leaves
Dancing in the breeze
I'*e seen a man killed
By his best friend,
And lives that were over
Before they were spent.
I'*e seen what I was
And I know what I'll be
I'*e seen i* all
There is no more to see
You haven't seen elephants
Kings or Peru
(I'm happy to say
I had better to do)
What about China?
Have you seen the Great Wall?
(All walls are great
If the roof doesn't fall)
And the man you will marry
The home you will share
(To be honest
I really don't care)
You've never been
To Niagara Falls
(I have seen water
It's water, that's all)
The Eiffel Tower
The Empire State
(My pulse was as high
On my very first date)
And your grandson's hand
As he plays with your hair
(To be honest
I really don't care)
I'*e seen i* all
I'*e seen the dark
I'*e seen the brightness
In one little spark
I'*e seen what I chose
And I'*e seen what I need
And that is enough
To want more would be greed
I'*e seen what I was
And I know what I'll be
I'*e seen i* all
There is no more to see
You've seen i* all
And all you have seen
You can always review on
Your own little screen
The light and the dark
The big and the small
Just keep in mind
You need no more at all
You've seen what you were
And know what you'll be
You've seen i* all
There is no more to see
M* F**** F*ie*d a*d Me
THE EMPOROR'S NEW GROOVE
In the quiet time of evening
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made his journey
And we wondered just what happened
To the life we knew before the world changed
When not a thing I held was true
But you were kind to me and you reminded me
That the world is not my playground
There are other things that matter
And when a simple needs protecting
My illusions all would shatter
But you stayed in my corner
The only world I know was upside down
And now the world and me, I know you carry me
You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We could be lost we could refuse to try
But we made it through in the dark night
Would those lucky guys turn out to be
But that unusual blend of m* f**** f*ie*d a*d me
I'm not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different, you showed me something pure
I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure
But you stayed and you called my name
When others would have walked out on a lousy game
And you could've made it through
But your f**** f*ie*d a*d me
You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
That tiny planet in a bigger guy
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We'll be together till the end is nigh
Don't know the answer or the reason why
We'll stick together till the day we die
If I had to do this all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss
When the angels sing that that unlikely blend
Are those two funny friends
That's us
**e* *** C**e Bac* ** *e Aga**
Frequency
There's a ship out
On the ocean
At the mercy of the sea
It's been tossed about lost and broken
Wandering aimlessly
And God, somehow you know that ship is me
There's a lighthouse in a harbor shining faithfully
Pouring its light out across the water
For this sinking soul to see
That someone out there still believes in me
Chorus:
On a prayer
In a song
I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on
Ahhh, raining down against the wind
I'm reaching out 'til we reach the circle's end
**e* *** c**e bac* ** *e aga**
There's a moment
we all come to
in our own time and our own space
Where all that we've done
we can undo
if our heart's in the right place
On a prayer
In a song
I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on
Ahhh, raining down against the wind
I'm reaching out til' we reach the circle's end
**e* *** c**e bac* ** *e aga**
And again I see my yesterdays in front of me
Unfolding like a mystery
You're changing all that is and used to be
On a prayer
In a song
I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on
Ahhh, raining down against the wind
I'm reaching out til' we reach the circle's end
**e* *** c**e bac* ** *e aga**
(**e* *** c**e bac* ** *e aga**)
A FOOL IN LOVE
MEET THE PARENTS
Look at the light coming over me
Show me a man whos gentle and kind
And I’ll show you a loser
Now, show me a man who takes what he wants
Ohhhhhhhhh how exciting
Ohhhhhhhhh how exciting
So the poet sings
When you’re a fool in lo*e
And nothing goes the way you plan
And no one cares and no one understands
That you’re a fool and you’re in love
Never another spring for you,
Never a robin to sing for you,
You’re out there on your own
When you’re a fool in lo*e
When you’re a fool in lo*e
Seems like the skies are always grey
You turn around theres someone in your way
And it’s you, and you’re in love
Sometimes you think that your luck has changed
And a rainbow explodes ’cross the sky,
But when you’re a fool in lo*e
You’ll be a fool ’til the day you die
ONE IN A MILLION
MISS CONGENILATY
You're *ne in a milli**, Oh now
You're *ne in a milli**, Oh
Sometimes I can't hate you every day
Sometimes you can fall for everyone you see
Only one can really make me stay
A sign from the sky
Said to me
You're *ne in a milli**
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
You're *ne in a milli**
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
I've been looking for that special one
And I've been searching for someone to give my love
And when I thought that all the hope was gone
You smile, there you were and I was gone
I always will remember how I felt that day
A feeling indescribable to me, Yeah
I always knew there was an answer for my prayer
And you, you're the one for me
You're *ne in a milli**
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
You're *ne in a milli**
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
You're *ne in a milli**
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
You're *ne in a milli**
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
I was cool and everything was possible
You tried to catch me but it wasn't possible
Nobody could hurt me it was my game
Until I met you baby and went insane
And when you didn't want me, I wanted you
Because the finer thing bout it was I like to go
I like it when its difficult I like it when it's hard
You know it's worth it if ya find your heart
You're *ne in a milli**
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
You're *ne in a milli**
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
You're *ne in a milli**
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
You're *ne in a milli**
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover one of the stars above us
You're *ne in a milli**, Oh
You're *ne in a milli**
A LOVE BEFORE TIME
C***c***g **ge*, **dde* D*a***
If the sky opened up for me,
And the mountain disappeared,
If the seas ran dry, turned to dust
And the sun refused to rise
I would still find my way,
By the light I see in your eyes
The world I know fades away
But you stay
As the earth reclaims it due
And the cycle starts anew
We'll stay, always
In the love that we have
Shared before time
If the years take away
Every memory that I have
I would still know the way
That would lead me back to your side
The north star may die
But the light that I see in your eyes
Will burn there always
Lit by the love we have
Shared before time
When the forest turns to jade
And the stories that we've made
Dissolve away
One shining light will still remain
When we shed our earthly skin
And when our real life begins
There'll be no shame
Just the love that we have made before time
