A Little Hurt

take a little pain and pass it on
take a little hurt and send it my way
you be the driver, i'll be the screw
i'll do whatever you want me to do
you be the shadow, i'll be the light
swallow me up and bring in the night
cause you make the fire within me glow
that i lost somewhere in december snow
now this burnin's the only thing that keeps me sane
take a little pain
you be the sky, i'll be the sea
woman, send your sorrows to drown in me
you be the east, i'll be the west
bring me the sun and i'll put it to rest
cause wherever we are, wherever we go
i found somebody i called home
you take the weight off my shoulders
and guide me through the rain
take a little pain
take a little pain and pass it on
take a little hurt and send it my way

i've never seen the leaves that color before, have you
i'm feelin good about autumn this year
and if the sun would just shine on your hair come noon
well, i'd feel even better
but you don't wanna try, no
you don't wanna try at all
you don't wanna try, no
you don't wanna try at all as we fall
so lemme just take a sip of this before we talk
press the bottle to my lips as we walk
and we'll love as though its real
sometimes i sit and look at this world you and i have made
and all i see is destruction and pain
but as soon as these chemicals hit my brain
i'll be feelin better
and i admit a part of me dies every time i see you cry at all
but i know theres nothin i can do to stop those tears in your eyes
no matter what, they fall
so i'mma just take a sip of this before we talk, if thats alright
press the bottle to my lips as we walk
so much better you'll feel
if you take a sip of this before we talk in the moonlight
press the bottle to your lips as we walk
and we'll love as though its real
rollin rollin, forward backward, side to side
baby, just kiss me
rollin rollin, forward backward
cause i can feel my body startin to go numb
rollin rollin, forward backward, by and by
i know you won't miss me
rollin rollin, forward backward
oh, you'll be better with whatever i become
you can take my mind and take my home
take all i own, i would never know
these rollin waves, they crash at sea
i'm drownin, beggin for your sympathy
for shades of venus and mercury
appear to be envelopin my woes
where love is found as a torch in the ground
with barely enough flames to feed these souls
and i'm rollin rollin, forward backward, side to side
i need you tonight
i'm rollin rollin, forward backward
and i'm losin you

Peaches

you tell me your mama is gettin on your nerves
what can i say, we should runaway
you tell me your papa ain't givin you respect that you deserve
escape that gray and we'll runaway
yeah, for i know somewhere that we can go
where the waters fine and the peaches grow
they're gettin bigger every day
the air is fair, the weathers perfect
we could use some time, and we deserve it
hey, so come my way
for we got somewhere to be
no one'll catch us, we'll be free
yeah, well time is money, but we ain't got money
so lets use this time while its still sunny
we've been trapped and held down,
nickel and dimed
voice our protest through song and rhyme
we'll run, run, runaway
leave behind our pain and find some better ground
so lets go down
down by the water where the peaches grow
lets go down, lets go down
down to the water to cleanse our souls

Nights in Heaven

he came like a thief in the night
and stole my memory
like an angel of darkness
forbidding my every breath
lying in frozen pastures colder than he
could ever fathom in this world of death
lonely is the song we sing fore we sleep
lonely will i remain for all my days
lonely are the tears of blood and war that she weeps
and lonely will i be always
lonely will i be always
but say we had never known
(i always wanted more than this)
say we had never known
(for nights alone with thee i miss)
for nights with thee, i miss my world

when in rome, i do as the romans do
eat where the romans eat
but i aint got a roman clue
when in rome, all the foreigners wanna be em
they want the blood that runs under the colosseum
so pick it up and make it work
they're sayin go back to where you're from
drop your weapons to the dirt
it seems they've had enough of us
just pick it up and make it work
well you know somethins wrong
when the days get long
your mind, body, souls consumed by fear
dont know where we're gonna go
we gotta get the hell outta here
baby, baby come on
i ate your food, i drank your wine
but i must depart for it is time
i'm a stranger in a strange land
my shoes are wearin thin
i've got blisters on my hand
and the dust flies up and stings my eyes
my eyes, oh my eyes
in a place like this i could never survive
but there aint no surprise
come on,
so pick it up and make it work
they're sayin go back to where you're from
drop your weapons to the dirt
you know they've had enough
just pick it up and make it work
well, you know somethins wrong
when the days gettin long
and your mind, body, souls consumed by fear
dont know where we're gonna go
we got to get out
dont look now, baby got a gun
baby got a gun, baby got a gun on the run
dont chase that baby
she'll shoot you down
shoot you down fore you even get to turn around
she's headin for the water
i can see it now
she said she kinda fucks with jesus now
but i dont know if i believe it
i dont know if i can see it
i dont know what to think no more
oh mama, i'm so lost
i dont know where to go
i've been searchin for someone
someone to take me home
oh mama, blind my eyes
i no longer wanna see
this bleedin world, apocalyptic doom
surroundin you and me
oh father, the end is near
skies are fallin now
the city is in flames
they've burned it to the ground
oh father, show the world your face
send the rain to your people
and lead me from this god forsaken place
i ate your food, i drank your wine
but i must depart for it is time

goodbye, farewell
until we meet again
i'm sorry that i have to go
but what must be must be, you know
and so goodbye, farewell
goodbye sweetheart
we always knew this day would arrive
i'm sorry that we must part ways
you are the sun that lights my days
as long as i'm alive
bonsoir lune
i'll see you soon
in my dreams, or somewhere in between
bonsoir lune
goodnight moon
i wonder at the things youve seen
goodnight, my darling
goodnight, my love
for i'll be here for you.
