"Name"
And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away
I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans that never Knew their names
Don't belong to no one that's a shame
You could hide beside me maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell em' your name
Scars are souvenirs you never lose , the past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there , did you get to be a star
Don't it make you sad to know that life is more that who we are
You grew up way too fast and now there's Nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell em' your name
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down
And I won't tell em your name
"Broadway"
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it's someplace that you've been
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you aint got one
Cause you're living in a world
That you're best forgotten round here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for run
Your anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the losers day parade
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you aint got one
Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten
When you think youre a joke
And nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they've been missing round here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Braodway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the ols man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
You see you'd love to run home
But you know you aint got one
Cause you're living in a world
That you're best forgotten
Ans if you're thinking you're a joke
And npobody's gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they've been missing
Round here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man Sitting
In the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
"Black Balloon"
Baby's black balloon makes her fly. I almost fell into that hole in
your life. And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow. 'Cause you were
the same as me. But on your knees.
A thousand other boys could never reach you. How could I have been
the one? I saw the world spin beneath you, and scatter like ice from
the spoon. That was your womb.
Comin' down the world turned over, and angels fall without you there. And I
go on as you get colder. Or are you someone's prayer.
You know the lies they always told you, and the love you never know. What's
the things they never showed you. That swallow the light from the sun,
inside your room, yeah.
Comin' down the world turned over, and angels fall without you there. And I
go on as you get colder. Always someone. And there's no time left for
losin'. When you stand they fall.
Comin' down the world turned over, and angels fall without you there. And I
go on as you get colder. All because I'm...Comin' down the years turn over.
And angels fall without you there. And I'll go on to bring you home and,
all because I'm, all because I'm, And I'll become, What you became to me.
"Slide"
Could you whisper in my ear, the things you wanna feel. I give you anything,
to feel it comin.
Do you wake up on your own, and wonder where you are? You live with all
your faults.
CHORUS: I wanna wake up where you are, I wont say anything at all. So why
dont you slide.
Yeah were gonna let it slide .
Dont you love the life you killed, the priest is on the phone. Your father
hit the wall. Your ma disowned you.
Dont suppose Ill ever know, what it means to be a man. Something I cant
change, Ill live around it.
CHORUS
And Ill do anything you ever dreamed to be complete. Little pieces of the
nothing that fall. May put your arms around me, What you feel is what you
are, and what you are is beautiful. May do you wanna get married, or run
away?
And Ill do anything you ever dreamed to be complete. Little pieces of the
nothing that fall. May put your arms around me. What you feel is what you
are, and what you are is beautiful. May do you wanna get married, or run
away?
CHORUS
"Iris"
And Id give up forever to touch you, Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
Youre the closest to heaven that Ill ever be, And I dont wanna go home
right now. And all I can taste is this moment, And all I can breathe is
your life. And sooner or later its over, I just dont wanna miss you
tonight. CHORUS: And I dont want the world to see me, Cause I dont
think that theyd understand. When everythings made to be broken, I just
want you to know who I am . And you cant fight the tears that aint
coming, or the moment of truth in your lies. When everything feels like
the movies, yeah, you bleed just to know youre alive. CHORUS |
