Timeline
When you drop onto that timeline
Only gonna get one shot
You don’t know how long you’ll be there
May have tomorrow maybe not
So when you step onto that timeline
Better find out what you got
When you pop onto that timeline
There’ll be a million things to see
You can wonder in amazement
at the great diversity
The dimension of that timeline’s
zero until infinity.
chorus:
And on that line you’ll find an infinite amount of intersections
Some are left and some are right, you’d better make the right selection
in the right direction
Solo (follow verse)
chorus (2):
And on that line you’ll find an infinite amount of intersections
Some are high and some are low, you’d better make the right selection
in the right direction
When you get down to that timeline
Better learn to play the game
Cuz it ain’t about the money
and it ain’t about the fame
Cuz when you drop off of that timeline
No one will recognize your name
When you fall off of that timeline
Things will never be the same
When you slip off of that timeline
You’ll just return from where you came
Just Wait
Just Wait Just Wait
I need some time to procrastinate
Just Wait Just Wait
You know it’s gonna be alright
I ain’t the kind that likes to hurry
Like to take my time and do things right
So if your deadlines make you worry
Don’t look at me to expedite
Just Wait Just Wait
I need some time to communicate
Just Wait Just Wait
You know it’s gonna be alright
When you’ve got weight upon your shoulders
When you’ve got troubles on your mind
And when the pebbles turn to boulders
I’ll be the friend you need to find
Just Wait Just Wait
I need some time to evaluate
Just Wait Just Wait
You know it’s gonna be alright
(solo)
When you are wrapped up in your troubles
and all your nerves have started frayin’
if your mind’s lost in the rubble
Listen to what your heart is sayin’
Just Wait Just Wait
I need some time to intoxicate
Just Wait Just Wait
You know it’s gonna be alright

No Easy Way (verse} You can tuck it in an envelope It’ll be there overnight Or send an instant message It’ll get there at the speed of light With all the wonders in the world today There still ain’t no easy way to say it’s over {verse} You can send it in an email Though that may not be the trend You can tweet it to the world babe But you still have to hit Send With all the wonders in the world today There still ain’t no easy way to say it’s over. (bridge) You can grammar and spell check and edit til late in the night But when you click on that button You know It still don’t seem right (solo) (bridge) You can write til your crazy and let it tear you apart But that message well it still has to come from your heart (verse} You can write it in invisible ink on your retina display But you still have all those doubts in your mind ‘bout what you should say With all the wonders in the world today There still ain’t no easy way to say it’s over. Cheap Beer (verse) Well me and Sally had just had another one of those fights I figured it was gonna be another one of those nights So I hopped into my Chevy and I drove downtown It seemed like everyone was hangin’ around and so I stopped into my favorite spot just to try to unwind (chorus) Cheap Beer, Cheap Whiskey I ain’t sippin’ no wine It’s the same old situation seems to happen to me all the time Cheap Beer, Cheap Whiskey I really started to fly But then I woke up in the morning and I thought that I was gonna die (verse) Well I walked to the bar and I sat on my favorite stool Reached into my pocket Didn’t even have a quarter for pool But I was sittin’ right next to my old friend, Will Who said he had an extra dollar to kill So I said barkeep, do what you can just to give me my fill (chorus) (bridge) Well you can have your Johnnie and Jose Cuz I was raised on the bottom shelf And on the bottom shelf, I’ll stay (solo) (verse) Well my guardian angel tried to tell me it was time to go home Cuz it was getting’ late and my eyeballs were startin’ to roam I started crawlin’ over to the door When I saw Sally on the dancin’ floor And so I turned myself around and decided to have just one more (one more!) (chorus) X3 Desperation (verse) Slipping and Sliding Falling on my face I guess I’ve had one or two Lying in the gutter Staring at the stars All I can think of is you (chorus) You don’t know what you’ve done to me You turned me into a fool You pulled me into your game of love But you never told me the rules (verse) Living in sorrow Living in such pain It doesn’t ever seem to end I feel it in my heart that you have broken all apart It doesn’t ever seem to mend (chorus) You used to be my fantasy You used to be my dream My dreams have turned to nightmares now My nights have turned so mean (bridge) Desolation Isolation are running through my brain I can’t stand this Desperation Its driving me insane… Mother’s Love (verse 1) Well it happens every day. Its here in mother nature Its power works just like a magic wand It springs to life in clear and present danger All the gods above refuse to break that bond (chorus 1) cuz a mother’s love can take you high and a mother’s love can make you cry and a mother’s love will never lie and a mother’s love will never die (verse 2) It’s a mystery that’s lasted through the ages Its something even science can’t explain It’s a spirit that appears to be so fearless And its sometimes filled with heartbreaking pain (chorus 2) cuz a mother’s love will always mend cuz a mother’s love cannot pretend cuz a mother’s love… will never bend yes, a mother’s love… will ever end (chorus 3) cuz a mother’s love can make you sigh and a mother’s love can make you cry and a mother’s love will never lie and a mother’s love will never die no, a mother’s love will never die (repeat bridge and chorus 1) Trouble in Paradise The sun is falling down The sky is turning brown There aint no comfort on the way There aint no stayin here My belly feels the fear We better turn and walk away I sense a feeling of deception It feels like everything’s a lie its coming here from all directions Yes I can feel it in my eyes There is trouble down the road down the road, down the road There is trouble down the road, down the road There is trouble down the road down the road, down the road There is trouble down the road, down the road I see the firelight Its well within our sight The smoke is filling up my head I see the lightning now The thunder’s getting loud The clouds are turning bloody red There aint no point in going further There aint no point in going on The risk of moving in is murder We know the danger we’re upon Cuz There is trouble down the road down the road, down the road There is trouble down the road, down the road (solo) (bridge) There aint no point in going further There aint no point in going on The risk of moving in is murder We know the danger we’re upon There is trouble down the road down the road, down the road There is trouble down the road, down the road Anymore Used to feel like I was basking in the sun Now I’m left out in the rain and it seems like I am always on the run and its driving me insane I just don’t know what to say It doesn’t have to be this way I don’t care anymore…. Used to think that you would try to pick me up All you did was knock me done. When I told you that I thought I had enough You just laughed and turned around I just don’t know what to say It doesn’t have to be this way I don’t care anymore…. Gave you many Gave you a lot Gave you plenty I gave you all I got Used to feel like I was flying in the clouds Now I’m crashin in the dirt Used to think that I was higher than a kite All I’m feelin now is hurt I just don’t know what to say It doesn’t have to be this way I don’t care anymore… I don’t care anymore… I don’t care anymore… Gates of Hell We all know our demons We all know them well We will meet those demons when we’re fightin’ at the gates of hell Oh Lord Fightin’ with the devil Fightin’ with the devil at the gates of hell (repeat) We will fight that evil and we will break that spell we’ll triumph over satan when we’re fightin’ at the gates of hell (chorus) We will join with angels and they will ring that bell We’ll join hands with those angels when we’re fightin’ at the gates of hell (chorus) (repeat…) |
