"Falling"

Wind is cold alright back in Dallas. The neon light from the building lets
you know you're home.
You'd go way back when if you wanted to be my friend or you'd call me. I'd
understand, it's true.

I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Wait there, I'll be right back. Down in Times Square it's a heart attack.
All the feeling makes you feel so new.
Trees fall and so do men. Even the walls start caving in and you feel like
there's no pretend for you.

BUt I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

We could talk if days weren't so fast,
and mistakes just leave it so unsure.
Wanna hold you like never before
'case we're falling and I love you more and more.

Do you feel like you're falling down?
Do you feel like you're falling down?
I don't feel like I'm falling-falling-falling down.

I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Do you feel like you're falling down?
Do you feel like you're falling down?
I don't feel like I'm falling-falling-falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

"Launch Ramp"

Go!
Tack giant mushrooms to all of the bedrooms
Go yo, to the streets
Impedence with selection
I survey nocturnal thought
As we drive home

Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do

You're just a vacuum tube down in the basement
Thats of course the game i'm playin
While my heart goes to the almighty
Solidize my internal thought
As we drive home
(you can't tell me, you can't tell me)

Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
You're no fun
Do do do, do do do
Since you won
Do do do, do do do...

"Debbie Don't Worry Doll"

Darling come here i need to talk to you
My mama's ill so i'm going back to texas
We can only afford but one bus ticket
You know i might be gone for some time
Debbie don't worry doll cause you'll always be mine

Cry on my tummy and be understanding (understand me now)
You know things like this just don't allow planning
But let me tell you we're never apart
Cause you live in my heart
And i still get lonely
But i know we'll be fine (we'll be fine)
Cause you'll always be mine

I hate a-knowing i must be going
My mama's dying she's a-crying "help me"

I gotta go "no ben no, what if you find a new love in the heartland?"
Oh come on baby, i'm not that kind of man
And you'll always be mine
"i'm not believing you're a-leaving
Whom i'm holding when i get cold in december?
I love you what if you never do come back at all?"
Debbie don't worry doll, hey i love you and that's all

You know that we'll be fine (we'll be fine)
And you'll always be mine
You're the best girl of all time and you'll always be mine

"I Need You Back"

Take me back when you think that it's good.
It feels worse than they said it would.
You're gone but not forever.
When I know I'm never wanted
I tuck away in my turtle shell.
I've standed on this hex forever.

I need you back, I need you have,
to take away all of my pain and then my fear.

Hey! I need you back.

Like a ghost on his darkest visit,
you got my soul, now baby why is it
gone gone gone? Take it from me.
You are free if you can sleep at night,
you really must be hard if you're feeling alright.
Hey hey hey, we're way uptown, we gotta turn around.

I need you back, I need you here,
to take away all of my pain and then my fear.

Hey! I need you back.

I need you back, I need you here,
to take away all of my pain and then my fear.

Hey! I need you back.
(I'm so lost without you.)

"Hospital Bed"

La la la la la.
We are jus ta sexual making me an alcoholic relation.
Words hit much harder than bullets from a gun,
a shovel to the skull, a stab in the spine.
Be my valentine, you don't have to say much.
This machine is so mature, it's so much your type.

(boy) "You be Betty!"
(girl) "I'll be Betty!"
(boy) "I'll play Joe!"
(girl) "You play Joe!"
We'll crawl out of my window, honey,
and in the morning I'm out of my head,
I wish I was sleeping In your hospital bed.
Give me some time to get on your mind.
La la la la la.

Hey, come on down to my world.
The memories enhance the way that you feel.
I wanna get right back down but you're moving so fast,
and I wanna be everywhere twice.
This machine is so mature, it's so much your type.

(boy) "You be Betty!"
(girl) "I'll be Betty!"
(boy) "I'll play Joe!"
(girl) "You play Joe!"
We'll crawl out of my window, honey,
and in the morning I'm out of my head,
I wish I was sleeping In your hospital bed.
Give me some time to get on your mind.
La la la la. La la la la.

And in the morning I'm out of my head,
I wish I was sleeping In your hospital bed.
Give me some time to get on your mind.

"My Apartment"

Sometimes I wish I had a farm
Where the only pollution is your cigarettes
Where your mind is clear.
But I like it here in my small space.
New York's the place where the sidewalks know my face
As I walk to

My apartment, the home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside.
I'm there all the time.

Bikes ride to the park and city pools.
It's summer now; empty the school.
Fly home to my cat on the F train.
I'm protected from pain
When I'm in

My apartment, the home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside.
I'm there all the time.

I'm there in my apartment, the home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside.
I'm there all the time

"On My Way"

I want to kill this man but he turned around and ran.
I'll kill him with karate that I learned in Japan.
He wouldn't see my face. I wouldn't leave a trace.
I wouldn't use a bullet cause a bullet's a disgrace.

Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a murdering man
But tonight I'm on my way.

There's this drawer that I know in a house up the road
That's full of things that are easily sold.
When they go out of town I could go and snoop around
And make myself rich off the things that I found.

Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a stealing man
But tonight I'm on my way.

I was sitting on the bleacher staring at the speaker,
Reading his lips but I could not understand.
So I opened up my ears and clearly I could hear
This detailed story all about a grain of sand.

Aw, mom, I always dreamt of being a good listener
So tonight I'm on my way.

There's this kid you gotta meet. He lives across the street.
He's got spirit and heart. We're ten years apart.
He is up for anything. He can hang with anyone.
He still likes the things we used to think were fun.

Aw, mom, I never thought that I could have a friend
But tonight I'm on my way.

I'm in love with someone who's as pretty as a flower.
Her life give me power so I'm buyin' her a ring.
She makes hats with her hands. She is such an artist.
I'm her biggest fan and I'm teaching her to sing

Aw, mom, I never thought that I could love no one
But tonight I'm on my way.

"The Rules"

Years ago I lost my guard.
Ever since it's been hard
Standing up like a man, like a father,
Understand that all I do
Is not enough for myself.
I am tough on myself.
I need to freeze, I need direction, aw please...

Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to belong.

First I'm gonna sing my song

I try to do what is right,
I try to win without a fight.
From time to time I turn around
To their gun on the ground.
I try to seek more than this...
A nice smile, a wet kiss.
Don't want to miss what I'm looking for,
But it's behind your door.

Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to belong.

"Down"

I am empty and I'm tired
And I'm homesick and inspired.
I can't know everything that you know
'cause I'm learning as I go.
I wanna see your love.

When I wake up I'm the same
'cause I sleep well when I dream away.
Bluebird house on fire like an only child.
I wanna see your love.

When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.

All the fires on the ground
Are laughing with their crackling sound.
I don't fight. I don't scream.
I don't listen to anything.
I wanna see your love.

When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.

I am selfish without you.
I'm over and you're always new.
I'll never let you down from your tower
Or take away your crown.

When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.

Nothing can bring me down.
Nothing can bring me down.

"Living Life"

The greenest trees you'll ever see
Are the ones in your mind.
And all the answers and the dreams
Will come to you in time.

Yeah, you are living life
The way you feel.

I know the world around you,
Everyone shares the sky.
You never see darkness,
You are the daylight.

Yeah, you are living life
The way you feel.

Go away with a smile.
Don't forget about your past.
Don't keep yourself from giving.
I am always watching you
Be yourself and stayin' true
'cause it makes me feel like life's worth living.

The way you feel.

I've never minded where you're going,
I know that change is part of you.
I'm not gonna hide anymore, I'm gonna listen to myself
And maybe one day I can be real too.

Yeah, you living life.
Yeah you are, you are living life.
Don't you know that you are living life.
The way you feel.
And that is real.
