I want to thank you, pretty baby, for givin' your love to me
I want to thank you, pretty baby, for givin' your love to me
My heart was locked up till you came and set it free

I'm gonna love you, pretty baby, love you till the end of time
And I-I-I-I-I'm gonna love you, pretty baby, love you till the end of time
I wanna thank your folks for making you so divine

Thank you for your loving ways
Mmm-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh thank you 'cause you've been so kind
I'm gonna take my time and just thank you, honey
Because you're mine, all mine, all mine

I'm gonna kiss you in the morning and kiss you in the evening, too
And I-I-I-I-I'm gonna kiss you in the morning, kiss you in the evening, too
I'm gonna spend my life loving no one but you
I'm gonna spend my life loving no one but you

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Oh, they were three children from the land of Israel
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
Oh, they took a little trip to the land of Babylon
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
And ol’ Nebudchanezzer was the king of Babylon
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
So they took a lot of gold, and made ‘em an idol
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

And they told everybody “when you hear the music of the clarinet,”
They told everybody “when you hear the music of the flute,”
“Now listen, children, when you hear the music of the horn,”
“Oh, you gotta bow down and worship the idol!”
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Ah, but the children of Israel would not bow down!
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
“We aint’ going to bow to no golden idol!”
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
No, you couldn’t fool the children with the golden idol!
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

So the king cast the children in the fiery furnace
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
The heat on cold and red-hot brimstone, the Good Book say
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
Even made it seven times hotter than it oughtta be!
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
Now they burned up the soldiers that the king had put there
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
Oh, Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!

Um hmm, then the Good Lord called an angel,
Gave him a couple of wings.
He said “go down there through the middle of the furnace
and begin to cool in the flames.”
And those children got so happy,
they went struttin’ right through the fire.
Just a’ laughin’ and a’ talkin’ ‘bout the power of the Gospel
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!

Oh, Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!!!

Hoverin' by my suit case
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin'
It's alright

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs flashin'
Taxi cabs and buses passin'
Through the night
A distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain
To the night

A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just got to play the game

I find me a place in a boxcar
So I take my guitar
To pass some time
Late at night, it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest,
And I feel fine, Fine

But it's a rainy night in Georgia
Baby it's a rainy night in Georgia
I feel it's rainin' all over the world
Kinda lonely there and it's rainin' all over the world

Oh, Have you ever been lonely people
And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world
You're talkin' 'bout a-rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin'
Rainin', a-rainin. a-rainin' rainin' over the world
I said now rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin' rainin'........(fade)

When I was young I caught a snowflake in my hand of beautiful design
It melted after a brief existance in a whispers decline
Let us pretend we are not beasts of the field
Let us, Let us, Let us escape invisible cages
Define risk and you will find they erase all the minds
By routines as wisdom is left for sages

I've got a better way to waste your life
Seasons change, you know I'm right, seasons change

The artery of perception limits potential progress
The machine wears a suit made out of the unmotivated desireless
To the beholder at heart the ties of all choice, the risks of the wants
And opinions of voice can evade the overcast that obscures desire
I knock your ladder, who is the madder?
Reunite your mind to your soul of high(2x)(repeat chorus)

When earth was young she held a people in her hand of beautiful design
It melted after a brief existance in a whispers decline
What's that sound? A crack of whip...in a future residing in nowhere?
Restraint of chain? The twisted maze of the murmors insane?
The insects of greed swarming their next bite?
Lost centuries of dreams, slay the king and queen
Reunite your mind
Reunite your mind to your sould of high(2x)

Place your suffering on the shelf of the victimized centuries
Relieve your suffering, embed the bullet of hope deep in your chest, Lodged into your chest
Educate your suffering, cleanse the bodies stacked centuries high
Please my suffering, experience the breath that you have been given
Your life is only one, swimming in the seas of the unknown(2x)
Erase your view and lift a stone, realize that the future is your own
The perspective alone, life is only one
My life is only one, yeah

I promise you all I won’t fall down
I promise you all I won’t skin my knee
Like you promised you’d always be around to take good care of me

And I remember you standing behind a white picket fence with a white peaked face
trying hard to embrace my youth
before it escapes, before its too late
and clutching the fence she said

“How have I hurt you, What have I done?”
“Did I desert you, or spite with my tongue?”
“Was I too eager, or loved you too much?”
I love you too much

Now that I’m all grown. I’m feeling so alone
Why have you brought me here?

You say all these things I say but It’s not the same
I’m feeling so alone today but all I know
I’ll ice my thoughts I’ll ice my mind for now

It’s not your fault, You did what you could do
For this I will love you, for always
you hold my tiny heart and my tiny hand
thank you for all these things

ten years and you're back again
but i don't want to go back to this
these kids were not my friends
high school memories just like a kiss
forget how they laughed
forget how i cried
forget everything
forget how i lied to myself
just like a kiss
and i can't forget how it was
just like a kiss
and i can't forget my discomfort
i'll never forget hiding behind this smile
i never intended to let them see me while i was afraid
always hiding behind something
that something's changing all the time
it seems i'm crying about nothing
or maybe it's something i kept inside of myself

it's come to this
i swear this time my heart won't miss
i've clinched these fists for far too long
a broken house with gates made from broken promises
but nobody's home
so here i sit
it's the light that wakes me
but the time that breaks me down
like water drops,
why won't this stop
dripping on my halo
these angel wings of mine
they haven't seen the light in weeks
let alone fly
it's the light that wakes
me but the time that breaks me down
like water drops,
why won't this stop
it's got me down
and who's gonna save me
from falling to the ground
you might as well finish me
grab with both hands
and rip out these wings
now watch me fall

Never wanted the sun, never needed the sky
Now I want it, lead on, I will follow you, to the end
Ailing bed of memories exhaust
Drifting from my final stand
Swollen fevered density, reweighing identity
Doubt and faith meet scrimmaging

I've downed the bottle of believing day after day
Or am i lost in time (repeat chorus)

Pages of prayer, decisive chapter
Mirror fearing the judgement
Creedence whispers, questions rise, inert wearied lullaby
I am breathing the final dance

I am buried deep under the soil of my mind in the forest
The book of elemental existance creeps forth shut
Graceless waning dispute
Spiralling a disappearance into the den of solitare
The weight of not knowing is so empty (repeat chorus)

far away
that's where i left you
far away
i wish that i had stayed
far away
how can i get to you
and i follow
from miles behind you
separated by miles
but i will find a way to get there
i hesitated and you smiled
you're on that bus and out of here
and i follow
from miles behind you
just east of texas
that's where i'll be
young child defenseless
don't forget me

Blood bearing spore soaked mind field
Captain cap poisoned thought swirl
Skein jungle knot, skein Vacant proof, False truth;

Cold confusion, Cold confusion

A quest for knowledge that seems an inch out of reach
Depression steals dreams as broken hopes wash ashore on death's beach

On death's beach(3x)
Cold confusion(3x) cold confused

Rogue mobocratic silence
Disordered plot, sanity rot(2x) mystery mystery

Opinionated mental intrusion, a fitting stage for cold confusion
Opinionated mental intrusion

A silence sits alone from a lack of communication
A mind destroys itself in the hands of interpretation
A voice is downed by an opposition
An empty thought contains useless contradiction

On death's beach(3x)
cold confusion(3x) cold confused(repeat chorus A)
Depression steals dreams as broken hopes was ashore on death's beach ashore on death's.....
