Don't ask her how she knows, but she knows
It's gonna be great Don't ask her how she knows, but she knows And she can't wait Hey hey hey to flyaway Number one for takeoff To that big drowning pool in the sky Number one for takeoff And her dress wavin' you goodbye Hey hey hey flyaway Gone up in rapture Gone see Your mother Take off your heavy head Gone up in rapture Life's better when you're dead Bones light as eggshells Look down on Main Street See all the people run Laugh if you want to She's goin' to the sun Hey hey hey flyaway |

The sun goes down too early
The wind goes down my back just like it owns me I work my job I get my check I'm tryin' not to let myself get lonely I'm just dreamin' about the day that I can Show you all the love I've got for you I used to hear my heart cry out I used to feel it pound in me I used to think It'd break me right in two Now that seems so long ago I'm feelin' like there's nothin' I can't do I'm just dreamin' about the day when I can Show you all the love I've got for you Sometimes I can see your face Taste your lovin' in my mouth Baby I am comin' back for more Can't you feel me comin' Can't you see me comin' Can't you hear me knockin' on your door? I'm just dreamin' about the day when I can Show you all the love I've got for you I've got so much love for you |

I look at him and he looks at me
In his eyes I see the sea Don't see what he sees in a girl like me He says he loves me His eyes, his eyes His eyes are a blue million miles His eyes, his eyes His eyes are a blue million miles Far as I can see he loves me His eyes, his eyes His eyes are a blue million miles |

Why does it take so long for you to leave me
Once you've said goodbye I wish it could be over quickly Clean and painless and dry But your kiss has left its taste with me And your hands have left their mark My ears are full of whispers And murmurs in the dark Why does it take so long for you to leave me Now that you're not here I wish that I could fight this feelin' Make you disappear But my body has a memory And it holds you close within The smell of you at midnight The flavor of your skin CHORUS I feel your fingerprints On my heart I thought that I could handle you I thought I was so smart Now I feel your fingerprints Nothin' I can do Ain't it touching how I can't get over you I can't believe I can't forget you You didn't matter that much Is it gonna take another man To wash away your touch REPEAT CHORUS |

August in the city 90 degrees
The streets are full of arms and legs The audience is hangin' on the corner Just waitin' for some bones to beg The sniper and the moving target I can't talk talk talk until my face turn blue Hey girl, you, girl put that right here This what I'll do to you But I live, I live, I live on this street The dogs are speakin' the men are howlin' When we take our parts out for a walk I could say, I should say, I would say Does your mama know about the way you talk Somewhere in Egypt I'm worth 4 camels A strong healthy girl like me On 42nd Street it's a quarter to look But the women outside are free But I live, I live, I love on this street He's the ruler of the pavement He owns all that he can see On 42nd Street it's a quarter to look But the women outside are free I live, I live, I love on this street REPEAT THREE TIMES |

You used to bury me, way underground
I thought it had to be this way But I've been watching you And I get smarter every day Take the voices from your mouth I've got the key to this door I've learned to work the new machines I'm not afraid anymore What you gonna do What you gonna do about me You've been stealing all the air You've been using all the sound I made a deal with the ocean I made a deal with the ground What you gonna do What you gonna do about me I am riding on the bus I am working at my job I am calling out your name I am standing at your door I am counting up the money I am carrying my child I am coming down your driveway I am giving you a chance |

Early in the morning when I'm still in bed
I start thinking 'bout last night My imagination gets the best of me And I can feel the match burn twice Baby have I told you that I love your way Only once will never suffice They say that love is always sweeter the second time around And I can feel the match burn twice BRIDGE Oh I take my time, time, time Oh I must confess Oh here comes the part I like the best So even when you're miles and miles away from me Baby it's no sacrifice They say that love is always sweeter the second time around And I can feel the match burn twice REPEAT BRIDGE So even if you're never comin' back no more Baby it's no sacrifice They say that love is always sweeter the second time around And I can feel the match burn twice |

Comin' out of the window Watchin' down from the wall Billie listens to your heartbeat Floatin' down the hall You think my eyes are covered over You think my heart has crawled away Billie listens to your heartbeat When I don't know what to say I meant to be your drivin' wheel I meant to be your swing If I had a tongue like that I would keep you safe I would keep you safe from everything I made a deal with the ocean I made a deal with the ground Billie listins to your heartbeat When I'm not around When I'm not around |

How will we stay on the sidewalk
When there is no gravity Piece of paper floating upward But no one stops to see And you think that I'm the right one 'Cause I know just what to say And you ask me to convince you That you won't blow away In this wild wild world Wild, wild world By the river Well we made them to be broken Sorry if they let you down Sorry if the ones you know Are vanishing all over town And I need someone to hold me And I ask you to be fair And you'd like to give me something But we both know there ain't a lot Ain't a lot to spare In this wild, wild world Wild, wild world Oh are you listening To make sure I'm still here? Oh did you know That the river burns like gasoline And they can't turn on the rain machine And they tell me there is no more space Won't you turn around 'Cause I hate it when I cannot see your face In this wild, wild world In this wild, wild world Wild, wild world By the river |

Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered round and started talking Cousin Billy would take me walking Through the back yard we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows to my suprise Chorus: The only boy who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man He was, yes he was, oh yes he was Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I tried When he started sweet talking to me He'd come and tell me everything is alright He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright Can I get away again tonight Chorus How well I remember The look that was in his eyes Stealing kisses from me on the sly Taking time to make time Telling me that he's all mine Learning from each others knowing Looking to see how much we'd grown The only boy who could ever move me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever groom me Was the son of a preacher man He was, yes he was, oh yes he was |

Get up Jack, crack your head
Sweatin' whiskey in my bed Ain't you heard a word I've said Get up Jack Get up Jack, read the news See if you can tie your shoes Find another friend to use Get up Jack CHORUS And come down, come down Long enough to see my face Come down, come down Get up Jack, run and hide Tell us all how hard you tried Burn your bridges, drown your pride Get up Jack Get up Jack, crack your head Been so long since I fed You ain't heard a word I've said Get up Jack REPEAT CHORUS If I came in a bottle... It was a mighty good year How come I don't get you high How come you're still here God, you were so beautiful I used to watch you sleep God, God so beautiful Too much promise to keep Get up Jack, go to hell Baby I can taste the smell Wish I didn't, truth to tell Know you, know you so damn well Get up Jack |

Written by Thom Bell and Phil Hurtt. This, is our fork in the road Love's last episode There's nowhere to go, oh no You made your choice, now it's up to me To bow out gracefully Though you hold the key, but baby Whenever you call me, I'll be there Whenever you want me, I'll be there Whenever you need me, I'll be there I'll be around I, knew just what to say Now I found out today That all the words had slipped away, but I know There's always a chance A tiny spark remains, yeah And sparks turn into flames And love can burn once again, but I know you know Whenever you call me, I'll be there Whenever you want me, I'll be there Whenever you need me, I'll be there I'll be around...yeah Whenever you call me, I'll be there Whenever you want me, I'll be there Even if I have to call, I'll be there I'll be around Just call me on the phone, I'll be there I'll never leave you alone, I'll be there Just call out my name, I know I know you know I'll be around I'll be standin' in a coffin, I'll be there I'll be a rippin' it up, I'll be there I'll be calling out your name to let you know, I'll be around. |

Chorus:
War What is it good for? Absolutely nothing War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker Friend only to the undertaker War means tears To thousands of mothers' eyes When their sons go out to fight And their daughters lose their lives in Chorus War, it's an enemy of all mankind The news of war, it breaks my heart and closes my mind War has laid waste to a whole generation Induction then destruction And who wants to die in a War What is it good for Absolutely nothing Tell me War What is it good for Ask yourself this question Peace Love and Understanding; Tell me, is there no place for them today They say we must fight to keep our freedom But lord, lord there's got to be a better way War What is it good for Tell me, tell me, tell me War What is it good for Can you tell me now There's got to be a better way |
