Nobody Knows
Top
Nobody knows when there's clouds in the skies
When there are tears in your eyes
Nobody knows when you're hurting so bad
So what if they had?
Far away, where the hills turn to plains
I sit and I wonder where you are
I dream at night of the memories that we share
I feel your touch, I see your stare
Nobody knows when you're down and out
Nobody cares what it's all about
When it comes to you, babe, you know I'll always be there
Just seems nobody knows when you're down and out
Silent words, a whispered song
Will you still love me when I'm gone?
Now nobody knows what really matters
Only fools who don't belong
Nobody knows when you're down and out
Nobody cares what it's all about
When it comes to you, babe, you know I'll always be there
Just seems nobody knows when you're down and out
In my dreams it never seems that nobody knows
When you're down and out
Nobody cares what it's all about
When it comes to you, babe, you know I'll always be there
Just seems, nobody knows when you're down and out
Strength

Now is no time to judge our love
With all the mess around us times are tough
And I know it takes more than I give now
To build a world where you and I can live
But I need you now to help me through
To be the one I know is true
To hold my hand, to keep the faith
To be my guard, to be my strength
I know that I want you to be my friend for life
The arms that comfort me
But baby it's gonna take some time to be like others
To build a world to build a family
But I need you now to help me through
To be the one I know is true
To hold my hand, to keep the faith
To be my guard, to be my strength
But I need you now to help me through
To be the one I know is true
To hold my hand, to keep the faith
To be my guard, to be my strength
Deep Blue Shadows
Top
I'm walking alone incognito so no one will know
But wandering eyes catch a glimpse of what's hidden below
Does there always have to be this complication?
Do you have to live on selfish motivation?
Take my hand we'll hide away, we'll sleep beneath the open skies
What you say and what you do they're always gonna criticize
Make your fantasies the drive
It seems that just the strong survive
So whenever you can feel it keep your deep blue shadows alive
I'm watching your steps, I've got eyes in the back of my head
Don't make the wrong moves, if they see you you're better off dead, yeah
Do I always have to give some explanation?
To the critics who can't understand expression?
Take my hand we'll hide away, we'll sleep beneath the open skies
What you say and what you do they're always gonna criticize
Make your fantasies the drive
It seems that just the strong survive
So whenever you can feel it keep your deep blue shadows alive
Just because they can't relate don't let it stop your overdrive
Whenever you can taste it keep your deep blue shadoes alive
Take my hand we'll hide away, we'll sleep beneath the open skies
What you say and what you do they're always gonna criticize
Make your fantasies the drive
It seems that just the strong survive
So whenever you can feel it keep your deep blue shadows alive
Walking Through Walls
Top
Some things will never change
Some things we'll never know
Walking down the rocky road
Down and out
And so far to go
Without you on my mind
I'll never make it
Without the stars in the sky
Well love is love
And one is one
So I turn around
To head for the sun
And now I'm on my way
Without any hope
Without you on my mind
Without any dreams
Without the stars in the sky
Without any love
There's nothing at all
So I'm on my way home
And I'm walking
Walking through walls
Some days just never end
Some days go too slow
Walking down the rocky road
Down and out
With so far to go
Without you on my mind
I'd never make it
Without the stars in the sky
Well love is love
And I lost the fight
So I turn around
And head for the light
And now I'm on my way
Without any hope
Without you on my mind
Without any dreams
Without the stars in the sky
Without any love
There's nothing at all
So I'm on my way home
And I'm walking
Walking through walls
Real World
Top
I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come and see them when I'm done, when I'm done
I wonder what it's like to be a superhero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on a yellow sun
Boy I bet my friends would all be stunned, they're stunned
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did what I said
I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get me some
Boy don't want to make me change my tone, my tone
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
Please don't change, please don't break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change, at all from me
To you, and you to me
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me

She don't, but she will
He says anything to keep her by him
She takes, what she gets, and she never did flinch
So over, anyone
With any mind would think that's all she gets
If you want you can get to know me well
We get along so we shouldn't argue
And I don't know, I said I don't know
All these feelings, cloud up my reasoning
Cloud up my reasoning
I know, but I still
Believe in ignorance as my best defence
So go on, wreck me
Funny how I carry on, and not be taken over
Will not roll over anyone
Cuz anyone would stand up on my side
If you want you can get to know me well
We get along so we shouldn't argue
And I don't know, I said I don't know
All these feelings, cloud up my reasoning
Cloud up my reasoning
You know it's funny sometimes
It don't work out like you want to
No you never get nothing at all
Then she tells you it's over, boy don't you hate it
When it's over
I guess something just got lost, and it deeply saddens me
So over, and over anyone, who's anyone
If you want you can get to know me well
We get along so we shouldn't argue
And I don't know, I said I don't know
All these feelings, cloud up my reasoning
Cloud up my reasoning
And So It Goes
Top
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds of lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defence
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I've only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
River of Dreams
Top
In the middle of the night
I go walking in the sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walked down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I;m tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I knwo I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
Damn

This old world well
Don't it make you wanna think Damn
This cold girl well
Don't she make you wanna scream damn
What's the matter girl
Don't you think I'm good enough
This old heart's had a whole lot a breakin' down
She's got these reasons in her head
All the time she knew if I lied
You can bet she will
She's takin' her timetill I thought I would die
And I can't sit still
Things got turned around
Don't know where I started from damn
Can't eat can't sleep
Could have been a bigger man damn
What's the matter girl don't you think I'm bright enough?
This old man had a hard time getting here
You can leave your number at the door
All the time she knew if I lied
You can bet she will
She's takin' her timetill I thought I would die
And I can't sit still
And there's nothing at all
Yeah there's nothing at all
Well there's nothing at all
To make her change her mind
This old house has been quiet since
You went a way damn
Mixed up, fixed out
Don't forget who got you here damn
What's the matter world
Don't you see I opened up
This whole part's been played by another man
I pulled the reason card instead
All the time she knew if I lied
You can bet she will
She's takin' her timetill I thought I would die
And I can't sit still
All the time she knew if I lied
You can bet she will
She's takin' her timetill I thought I would die
And I can't sit still
One Week
Top
It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to one side
and said "I'm angry"
Five days since you laughed at me saying
"Get that together, come back and see me"
Three days since the living room
I realized it's all my fault, but I couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish
although I like the Chalet Swiss
And I like the sushi
'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
I'm like LeeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me
but I bust through
Like Andrew Lloyd, I've got a big show
Mine's about a Back-Hoe
There'll be a big sound from the pavement
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin' achin' shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, 'cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
'Cause it's so dangerous
you'll have to sign a waiver
How can I help it if I think you're funny
when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have q tendency to wear my mind
on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said "You're crazy"
Fice days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault
not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait
till you say you're sorry
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
Have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantic
Like Sting, I'm tantric
Like Snickers, I'm guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurasawa, I make mad films
Ok, I don't make films,
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Like Skywalker, gotta big hunch
Hey, that's my lunch
Yoda's a really really old guy
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying
off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause the cartoon has got
the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing
How can I help it if I think you're funny
when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear
my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides
and said "I'm sorry"
Five days since I laughed at you and said
"You just did just what I thought
you were gonna do"
Three days since the living room
We realized we were both to blame
but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
'Cause it'll still be two days
till we say we're sorry
