WHOA NELLY!!
01 HEY, MAN!
Hey, man, don't look so scared.
You know I'm only testing you out.
Hey man, don't look so angry,
you're real close to figuring me out.
We are a part of a circle.
It's like a mobius strip,
and it goes round and round until it loses a link.
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again.
Hey, man, we look at each other with ample eyes,
and why not some time to discover what's behind your eyes?
And I've got so many questions that I want to ask you.
I am so tired of mirrors- pour me a glass of your wine!
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again!
I've got a bunch of government cheques at my door.
Each morning I send them back but they only send me more.
I look at myself in the mirror; am I vital today?
Hey, man, I let my conscience get in the way!
And there's a shadow in the sky , but it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again,
and I don't mean to rain on your parade,
but pathos has got me once again...
and I don't want ambivalence
No I don't want ambivelence no more
No I don't want ambivelence no more
I said I don't want ambivalence,
No I don't want ambivalence no more!
02 ... ON THE RADIO (REMEMBER THE DAYS)
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no
You liked me till' you seen me on your t.v.
Well if you're so low below then why you watching?
You say good things come to those who wait
I've been waiting a long time for it
Chorus:
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
and be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me
and still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself
You say your quest is to bring it higher
Well I never seen change without a fire
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning
Your face, the colours change from green to yellow
To the point where you can't even say hello
You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about
Chorus
Bridge:
It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool
Than sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
Than to burn in the spotlight (open fire!), turn in the spitfire (open fire!)
Scream without making a sound (open fire!), be up here and not look down (open fire!)
because we're all afraid of heights
Chorus
Why ya hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me so so,
leave me down down down down low leave me down da down down da down da down down down low...
shit on the radio... shit on the radio... shit on the radio... shit on the radio...shit on the radio
03 BABY GIRL
I've seen a man cry, I've seen a man die inside
I've seen him say to me that he is only mine
That he gotta do what is best for him
Never let me in, not even begin
To tell me I'm the one under his moon and sun
That I am the thing that revolves around him
But while on top of him I know what's best for him
I'll show him how to win and let me in cuz
Chorus:
I don't wanna be your baby girl
I don't wanna be your little pearl
I just wanna be what's best for me
To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun
We're all sorry now, I didn't mean to wow
Make you cry like that, it's just a little spat
Still I want you to know, though I love you so
It's mostly me dreaming, forcing, believing
That you're an ideal, hell I never steal
But I stole you from, from another one
So take yourself and wrap around my little finger
Cuz that's how I think it should swing
Chorus
Why can't he see, why can't he see what's inside of me, yeah... don't you, don't you call me coochie-coo a little girl, now... don't you gaga goo no coochie-coo girl now I'm so much more, can't you see? Can't you see?
Look who's writing now a token of their love
Can't you see love that it's just because
I wanted a cheap way to get inside your head
And not a cheap way to get inside your bed
Oh you're running now, with that silly one
It's all over now, this woman's just begun
Maybe we'll see about the will and the way
Butterflies return some day
Chorus
04 LEGEND
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun
Chorus:
And like a legend who rises and then falls I cannot be his only one
He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to,
(whoa) like you used to
He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to,
(whoa) like you used to
Chorus:
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight
Babe I saw you walking, it was after midnight
Carrying nothing except for a flashlight
You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window
You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry?
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry?
For I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so
I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so
Bridge:
I know you want to drink from the purest wine (from the purest wine)
But the drink is far more sour than you would ever think
He wants to be, he wants to be with everything under the sun
And she wants to burn, she wants to burn hot like that sun,
(whoa) hot like that sun
Chorus
Just like a legend who rises and then falls (like a legend)
I cannot be his only one (his only one)
And like a callous, cold, callous woman she'll never see what she did done
So like this legend that rises and then falls I'll never be his only one
05 I'M LIKE A BIRD
You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true
Chorus:
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Chorus
It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me, me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through
Chorus x 3
06 TURN OFF THE LIGHT
It's getting so lonely inside this bed
Don't know if I should lick my wounds or say woe is me instead
There's an aching inside my head
It's telling me I'm better off alone
But after midnight, morning will come
And the day will see if you will get some
Chorus:
They say that girl ya know she act too tough tough tough
Well it's till' I turn off the light, turn off the light
They say that girl you know she act so rough rough rough
Well it's till' I turn off the light, turn off the light
And I say follow me follow me follow me down down down down
till' you see all my dreams
Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems
I looked above the other day
Cuz I think I'm good and ready for a change
I live my life by the moon
If it's high play it low, if it's harvest go slow and if it's full, then go
But after midnight, morning will come
And the day will see if you're gonna get some
Chorus
I'm searching for things that I just cannot see
Why don't you don't you don't you come and be with me
I pretend to be cool with me, wanna believe
That I can do it on my own without my heart on my sleeve
I'm running, I'm running, catch up with me life
Where is the love that I'm looking to find?
It's all in me, can't you see, why can't you, why can't you see it's all in me
All in me
Where is your logic?
Who do you need?
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need?
Follow me follow me down down down down
I do not need I do not need nobody
Where is your logic?
Who do you need?
Where can you turn?
07 TRYNNA FINDA WAY
I left my heart in San Francisco with some club kids
on a crowded street somewhere
The sky was red and he said,
"would you like to come be a part of my North American Dream?"
I could try to chase life down, down the street and I'd find the separation
of fact and fiction
Chorus:
I'm trynna finda way
I'm trynna finda right
And if I budge I just might
I'm trynna finda way
I'm trynna finda right
And if I budge I just might
I left my conscience somewhere with my rhythm
I heard about it from the mouth of a man
He was hopping some trains and combing the land
Looking for a lover (kiss) planted in the east
Trying to run from the dreaded fist beast
And it lies, it lies in the picket fence call
It was my own paradise with my own private corridor
Chorus
So I'm dancing to a new beat and it came to me in bed
My veins became a strain of light that I let to flow instead
And a wish came to me like Peter Pan at my window and said
Evolve your destiny child and you'll never walk alone-no
You'll never walk alone, but
Travel to the land of surrender till' you can't cry no more
Till you can't, till you can't
And you'll never walk alone
all this inspiration is passing me by
all I can do is chill when I really wanna fly
and this pollution do nothing but dirty up my mind
faster than forever in the blink of an eye
to see past my lethargy is hard I feign
the beauty of my youth is gone but the chemicals remain
Chorus
I travel to this land of surrender but I see it's all over me, over and over
again...and I try and I try and I try...an angel on my left side and a devil
on my right..and they fight and they fight and they fight..they're fighting,
they're fighting, they're fighting for my attention...hello? You have my
attention...Do I have your attention?...Can I have your attention
please?...please, you've made such such an impression on me
08 PARTY
Talking to the mirror again but it's not listening
Cleaning my dirty mind like a toilet but it won't give in
Drinking spirits in the hopes that I will find myself one
But all I can rectify is that the party's just begun
Chorus:
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
Party's just begun
I feel like falling asleep and never waking up
It's not that my glass is empty but I need another cup
When all of the doors around me just shut one by one
I feel like falling asleep but the party's just begun
Chorus
Shaky shaky steps in the middle of the day
A fire in my path and a cool decay
Of limbs and tooth under my skin
Oh, freedom, where do I begin?
I'm changing my inflection and how I say the words
Maybe it will sound like something they've never heard
Oh, death of the party
I picked up the chalice of malice
And drank till I was full, I drank till I was full
I was thirsty but I drank till I was full,
I drank till I, till I,till I was full
There's a fever in my bones that I know so well
I keep my head low low low to avoid the swell
But it'll be cold in hell, it'll be cold in hell
Before they put me in that chamber
So I'm cleaning up as fast as I can
I'm cleaning up as fast as I can
Cuz you can't unbreak what you break, you can't unfake the very fake
You cannot fuel without a tank,
no you can't unbreak what you break, what you break
Chorus x 2
09 WELL, WELL
Well, well, what do I say
Looks like what goes around comes around
And everyone will have their final say
Sometime, someday
Looks like I only love God when the sun shines my way
Looks like I'm into divinity when I can see its sweet, sweet rays
Chorus:
I say what I mean but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
I say what I mean but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out
Well, well, what do I say
I've never seen a bad day look quite this way
And well, well, what do I do
When all of my thoughts run right back to you
Looks like I meant to speak with logic,
but hon', the carnal always gets in the way
Well well, this fire was more funner than proper grammar anyway
Chorus
Then you get to the part where your heart just wants to die
Then you get to the part where your heart screams it just sighs
Then you get to the part where your heart knows it's a crime
So it flies like a bird, it's heard, it's heard, it's heard the word
Chorus
10 MY LOVE GROWS DEEPER PART 1
My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day, deep into the sea
But takes a little piece of me, a little piece of me
Oh it's so beautiful out and I can't see why we're not allowed to be
Up in the sky with the birds counting the flowers
Oh my powers have failed me again when I can't see beginning to end
No I try and test it again through the hours
Chorus:
Wandering stars in the blue
could not be born cause of you
Wandering stars in the blue
could not be born cause of you
My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day, deep into the sea
But takes a little piece of me, a little piece of me
Oh why can't I be green as the grass beneath my feet
As fresh as the dew hits the ground in the morning
And not yellow like bumble bees, please take me off my knees, my knees
I don't wanna be red forever
Chorus
I've been looking at the moon but I've been thinking of myself
I've got me under my own skin I don't need nobody else
I'm looking at the moon but I'm thinking of myself
I've got me under my own skin I don't need nobody else
Chorus
If I could have sunlight in the palm of your hand
I'd take the moonlight instead
11 I WILL MAKE U CRY
Chuva! Chuvinha! Vem, Vem ca, rapaz!
Chuva! Chuvinha! Vem, vem ca, rapaz!
This is not political it's just that I, I demand attention when I walk into the room
And it's not that I can't play ball hard it's just that I don't want to
And the more I think about this pressure love I don't want you
And I can't have you and that's what hurts the most
I cannot show you these things I boast
I'll throw my heart out, keep my head up, I cannot fuck up cuz
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only bring on the rain
So I'll prefer to run this road rough around the edges
Good for something but too good to give it to you
You run your own course at your own pace but I just got impatient
See, I wanted to explore
Forsake you, forsook you, abate you, dissipate you
So turn fate around, I believed that I was free of you (not)
I still believe in those days on benches at sunset or the waves in July
or was it March we weathered weathers and storms
real and imagined, such fragile tenderness
You are truly blessed I stress this as I blow you this kiss as I blow it in the wind, mmwa
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only bring on the rain
Chuva! Chuvinha! Vem, vem ca, rapaz!
Gonna make u cry so damn hard
you're gonna curse your drawers and wish you weren't a boy
Gonna make u cry so damn hard
you'll curse your drawers and wish you weren't a boy, yeah
I will make u cry
I will make u cry
(Boohoo)
They say time is made of memories
Well I remembered and I'm tired
This is not political it's just that I remember the fire
Babe you left me with my head held high and I feigned to be more than I was, didn't I?
I thought I could do without sugar love
but this chocolate has turned into sweet bubble gum
Candy is sweet but honey is sweeter
It tastes like the real thing but candy is much much cheaper (Cheaper)
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only bring on the rain
(rain a'fallin' down, rain a'fallin' down, hahahaha)
(rain a'fallin' down, rain a'fallin' down, hahahaha)
(rain a'fallin' down, rain a'fallin' down, hahahaha)
...time crying...you'll be crying... I'm sorry I made you cry... I didn't
mean to, let me wipe those tears away...wipe those tears away...don't cry
baby...it's only rain
12 SCARED OF YOU
I'm sorry I forsake you
I'm sorry that I left you
I'm sorry I did forget you
And I'm sorry that I made myself feel better
By making you feel never good enough
I know you'll shine much brighter than I ever could
Maybe that is why I was
Chorus:
Scared of you
(and in everything I do I'm still thinking of you)
oh, you, you
I know you were scared of me
(but everytime I tried to love you I just fell through)
too
Desculpa-me se te ofendi
Desculpa-me se te esqueci
Desculpa-me se eu te deixei
Eu te deixei
E desculpa-me por me sentir bem com tua dor
Sabes que te adoro mas sei que a tua estrela e maior do que a minha,
muito maior do que a minha
E por isso
Chorus:
Eu tenho medo deste amor
(os dias passo pensando em ti)
amor
Medo deste amor
(Salve-me porque agora estou caindo)
amor
I was scared of you
I was scared of you
Scared of you
Scared of you
