Whatever you're sayin' I've heard it before and wherever you're comin' from there's three thousand more Whether the trouble's past or there's trouble in store you can bet your ass there's gonna be more Just keep livin' we don't care what for just keep givin' us whatever you're good for Pay to play today and tomorrow you'll see more of whatever's missin' Who'll listen if it happens to you just listen no one ever thinks it could If they did you could bet it never would that's whats missin' that's whats missin' Long Past Today Winter is cold but not as cold as they all wrapped up in themselves to look the other way as misfortune befalls everyone everyday and help stays always a heartbeat away But a thaw comes on 'round one winter's day as the light of compassion breaks out every ray buried in people's hearts apart from the way they fulfill their part in giving nothing away Yet at this time the rules we betray and reach out to those who could never pay Need touches greed and it doesn't shrink away nearly as much as every other day 'Round this time of year you hear some people say this time peace and joy they're gonna stay long past Christmas Day hey hey, long past this Christmas Day So far they ain't yet got their way and December 26th is just another day recent hope begins to fade away as suspicions and fear come back to stay Once you fear it Christmas spirit fades away It's outta place and gets in the way It's just too hard to always say hey its been good to see you and have a nice day Reachin' out to strangers just isn't the way we ought to behave we are taught today but some soon tomorrow on some bright new day we'll see others sorrows as our own we may Round that time of year you'll hear the people say this time peace and joy, they're gonna stay long past this bright new day hey hey, long past this wonderful day Supersonic Stuck on some aeroplane headed for (uh) ol' Bachrain Supersonic (yuh) is my name an' shootin' trouble is the name of my game When someone gives someone some pain I'm there for them to complain takin' down them facts and names an' guessin' who ta give the blame But before I can get some rest my butt's on a plane headin' west headin' somewhere there's more unrest peace of mind and time are the price of success Well doggone it (ha) yes I say I'm on it (uh) here today Supersonic (yuh) is my name an' you can bet I've yet to quit the game Guns and more are at my command and I'm the baddest cat in any land trouble shooters are always in demand and I decide who ta lend a hand If you want a war then I'm your man Tell me what you want I'll do what I can say it right an' we'll understand we like anyone who likes our brands Sorry man, I gotta go 'cause this place here is ready to blow an' the aftermath I don't wanna know to me its just another show Well doggone it (ha) yes I say I'm on it (uh) here today Supersonic (yuh) is my name makin' money off of other's pains When the dust settles I'm there again once the land is on the mend jus' waitin' to start it up again 'til everyone is dead or friends What rules don't break I'm sure ta bend jumpin' on ta the latest trend ridin' shock waves that trouble sends an' windin' up on top in the end Where I work don't matter no more 'cause the thrill is what I'm livin' for an' maybe someday I might score some brownie points for stoppin' a war Well doggone it (ha) yes I say I'm on it (uh) here today Supersonic (yuh) is my name livin' off of hate's foolish games We Are Truth Listen up and you might hear what its like to live without fear of the truth becoming too clear What are you, do you wanna know or instead would you let it go rather than risk lettin' it show We are truth and what we say and do denies us or lets us shine through to know ourselves by the things we do Yet lies we always tell to no one except ourselves for foolin' others only fools us as well We decide we have to hide and the rules we cannot abide sayin' silently truth has already died Yet in us the truth does live and more time it always gives to us to let us forgive ourselves for the things we did Tomorrow is never today and what we did will fade away unbeknownst for any to say Every moment we come near to letting our lives be steered by what we love and hold dear What you are you already know and it's there when you wanna grow by letting it always show We are truth and what we say and do denies us or lets us shine through to know ourselves by the things we do Start life over Have you heard the word- my longtime friend we've got to start- life over again now that we're nearly- reachin' the end and we've little leftover- promise to spend We're under the gun- like our long lost trees choked by our smoke- an' droppin' like leaves as we change our values- to suit our needs decryin' destruction- but still plantin' the seeds Maybe tomorrow- we will love today 'cause it won't be brighter- than our yesterdays but now if not the will- we still have ways to keep life from becomin'- totally gray So go an' walk out- under the sun and let your cloud of doubt- come undone Breathe in the clear air- while it's still there remember it all- and remember to care So spread the word- my hopeful friend we've got to start- life over again and maybe tomorrows- won't mean the end of what we loved today- too much to spend We'll reseed the trees- and sweeten the breeze blowin' pollution away- so our kids can play in rivers and streams- once off limits to their hopes and dreams Maybe tomorrow- we'll love more than today shining brighter- than our yesterdays Maybe then- we'll be able to say we love each tomorrow- more than today So go an' walk out- under the sun an' let your cloud of doubt- come undone breathe in the clean air- while its still there remember it all- and remember to care remember it all- and remember to care A World Where It Could I see me and you together whether times go good or bad I see you and me and a baby or three havin' the best fun we ever had Now I'm not saying it's gonna happen I won't even say that it should but wouldn't it, wouldn't it be good to live in a world where it could I see peace and plenty for all in a world where no one is sad I see an end to guns and weapons shunned and everyone has reason to be glad I see Jews playing with Arabs growing up in a world without hate I see the best face we have to offer and the best life we can create I'm not saying it's gonna happen I won't even say that it should but wouldn't it, wouldn't it be good to live in a world where it could I see kindness to all the animals I see the monkeys and dolphins set free I see the humanness in humanity brighter than we thought it could be I see us in this perfect world and I hope you see it with me 'cause if never comes to pass at least we both thought it could be Now I'm not saying it's gonna happen I won't even say that it should but wouldn't it, wouldn't it be good to live in a world where it could love On Down Below We lay together yet we stand apart touching everything but never the heart keeping it distant keeping it smart yet never allowing the best part to start What you feel you don't show about so much I don't know Sorry I just can't let it go for I feel I need to know I'd never ask, that's not my way I just wait and wait and hope you will say something, anything to show me the way to get you to open up today What you think I don't need to hear and what we want is never clear but because I love you I live with the fear that so much of you I'll never be near I say its nothing but my heart says no and I pretend that our love can grow stronger yet ever even though you won't reveal what you feel below What I have of you I don't mind and its enough most of the time but now and then I need to find the rest of you I left behind I'll wait outside until you let me in and on that day my life will begin when your trust I finally win enough to know all you've ever been Together in the Heart Look into my eyes and tell me what you see a thousand other guys or just me Want to see them want to see a disguise or need to see past that to see past their lies to my honesty Feel my heartbeat hard upon my chest as if it seeks to escape from whom it has been blessed to find in another its own success Be there for me or just close your eyes lest you might soon see me bang my head into the wall for feeling my life's a lie thinkin' the joys I see aren't really mine at all Together or apart whether at the end or at the start we are we and will always be opposites united together in the heart Brushin' your hair back out of your face I savor the moment there and its sweet taste Holdin' back time like a beaver with a damn I gather up the past hopin' that what I am will stay in place Nothing escapes me yet nothing do I hold except the present you for memories of old die upon our lips as they are told Let our lips be still once they've done their jobs in letting us express the feelings in our breasts by letting us taste each others best Together or apart whether at the end or at the start we are we and will always be opposites united together in the heart Since I Went Away Missy oh mine you look so fine sitting there on a shelf but inside me I still see you here with me back when I was myself Days have past since I saw you last but it seems like years have taken flight since I held you tight through the night and soothed away your fears I didn't know how much I could miss you before I went away but now I find I'm just killing time praying this is just a dream and soon I'll awake to find you in my arms and out of harm's way loving one another night & day just for love's own sake What a fool am I to think that I could buy a better life for us apart when we both knew what parting would do to me and you and our tender hearts Let me end this now and let me show you how my world has changed without you as yesterday I just couldn't say what I know today, my life is all about you You don't know how much I need to kiss you and tell you I need to stay but those words you've never heard because I was too foolish to say those truths we feel as we come closer to sharing one another forgetting all the others between us and what is real Stranger in My Arms Pretty baby, lovely lady I'm so proud of the love you gave me but now I fear the end is near and our sure thing is just a maybe Where'd you go tonight and why oh why do we have to fight when I wanna know where you go or if I am still your heart's delight You feel like a stranger in my arms and I'm in danger from your charms 'cause I no longer know where your thoughts go or what you might do Questions are breakin' me 'cause I don't know where you're takin' me if you wanna go just let me know and free me from the jealousy that keeps on shakin' me Just tell me where I stand tell me if you're in love with another man I can't take the cruel heartache or the lies of disguise now gettin' outta hand You feel like a stranger in my arms and I'm in danger from your charms 'cause I no longer know where your thoughts go or what you might do Well pretty stranger in my arms am I in danger from your charms Gimme a clue who I'm talkin' to or if I love the new you Silent Film Movies Follow you heartbeat always until it leads you to moonbeams silent and still while wandering gypsys dance on the hill on flowering tea leaves they've yet to mill Run fast from heartache it catches you still bending you backwards breaking your will like silent film movies make quietness shrill echoing the nothings soaking up thrills Leftover romance perchance to dream seemingly sober over what it all means weaning the break and breaking the screen between heaven and heartache shakenly serene Savor the dance chance has to take forsaking all flavor to layer the cake and making our favor savor the ache faking the way more with each step we make As yesterday's hearts carry us still we're never apart from forgotten thrills in the heart of the darkness images fill in the time between the dead 'n the nil Play it again, please play it until all sorrow's forgotten and time stands still memories run deep too deep to kill but like silent film movies, practicality will Follow you heartbeat always until it leads you to moonbeams silent and still like wandering gypsys we dance on the hill on flowering tea leaves too bright to mill Leftover romance perchance to dream seemingly sober over what it all means weaning the break and breaking the screen between heaven and heartache shakenly serene Love's On Fire Bein' beside her I find I really care Heaven's inside her and no one knows it's there I wanna be by her everywhere 'cause her heavenly fire sets my soul aflare When love's on fire an' hearts start ta bounce I'm like a caged tiger ready to pounce willin' to provide her with every ounce of her favorite desire when it really counts When love's on fire the fever starts ta mount higher and higher in deeper amounts 'til the last pires are finally trounced by fulfilled desires where it really counts I'll never tire as long as she's there She's my inner fire fuelin' all of my cares makin' me aspire to fire her flares of hidden desires burnin' up her despairs When love's on fire an' hearts start ta bounce I'm like a caged tiger ready to pounce willin' to provide her with every ounce of her favorite desire when it really counts When love's on fire the fever starts ta mount higher and higher in deeper amounts 'til the last pires are finally trounced by fulfilled desires where it really counts All we require is moments to share free of the mire of earthly cares to let love's fire light up the stairs leading us higher and keeping us there When Push Comes to Shove The night is made for love beneath the stars above heart stoppin' crazy love the kind we're cravin' of Its almost too much to bear holding you softly there with moonlight in your hair and romance in the air Even though it's gettin' late and you say you'd rather wait I feel the hand of fate moving us to the gate When push comes to shove and its time to leave or love decide what you're dreamin' of and if you believe in love And if you believe in love believe we're needy of the need to be in love underneath the stars above We still are young our best is still unsung but before this night is done let it be second to none I feel you really care I feel it everywhere feelings I need to share needing you always there If you want I'll go I just want you to know that tomorrow will show I can take takin' it slow When push comes to shove and its time to leave or love decide what you're dreamin' of and if you believe in love And if you believe in love believe we're needy of the need to be in love underneath the stars above death How to Say Goodbye As she left me she asked why didn't I shout or cry How could she know me yet not know I don't know how to say goodbye It's not like I've been through it a hundred times or more Anything as final as forever I deny to even feel and believe that facts will fall to things like before lastly letting our needs decide what is really real Yet ends have to come and when they do I'm always the one left last to understand and recognize that new order now at hand No one ever leaves I say and I never presume to lie I know others needs yet I know I never need to learn goodbye In my heart we all live and never die and though the pain is always there it never steals the desire to forever return here from our future lives A reunion of hopes and dreams I see in store knowing the present is and has been always a lie which brought us together here once before yet has not the power to let that feeling die The past and present blend in me and in the middle of the twisting swirl I see the traits of all of us in each boy and girl No one ever leaves I say and I never presume to lie I know others needs yet I know I never need to learn goodbye Commaconitch I feel us drifting away out on the sea of majesty and though I know its meant to be I never thought that I would see the day that life would set you free Commaconitch, can you hear me you know I loved you dearly Commaconitch, can you feel me feel the pain it took to heal me I see you up there in heaven an' everyday I pray that you are there to stay and I know that come someday you'll come to show me the way Commaconitch, can you hear me even though you can't come near me Commaconitch, can you see me it took me years to learn how to be me Now I wander from day to day livin' half in the past never able to meet any task but to die I wouldn't ask even though life ain't meant to last Commaconitch, can you hear me the thought of you will always steer me Commacontich, can you love me even though you're high above me Can't See the Sun The storm grows outside of my door a chill blows through all of my pores Everyone knows the tragic score, friends meet foes and roses galore Death has come ready to chase reluctant ones free from its embrace and what's won from this evil race is a peace gun aimed right at my face I can't see the sun commin' out anymore can't see the world bein' brighter than before Clouds have come, I don't care what for truth and hope just don't live anymore I sit still alone in the dark and wait until I can feel some spark of my will to leave forth my mark before time stills my ever hardening heart Yet I know all efforts are vain we come and go and all remains the same We overthrow tyrants in justice's name but tomorrow we'll all deserve the same All that's won when lives we waste is someone takes someone else's place Under thumb, we'll all praise grace with dumb fun appeasing our foolish tastes I can't see the sun commin' out anymore can't see the world bein' brighter than before Clouds have come, I don't care what for truth and hope just don't live anymore Death Song When sleepin' in my bed I had a vision in my head that my body was dead and my spirit had fled Well soon I found I could walk around so I went to town but no one could be found Well time did fly 'til I met this guy and I asked him why did I have to die He said, "You gotta go away and ya gotta leave today I don't know where you should go but I know that you know the way" I said thanks, that's some big help so I cursed him then I cursed myself It's good to be knowin' ya got ta be goin' somewhere somehow right now I looked up to the sky and thought, "Hell, why not try" so I took a deep breath, counted to ten jumped real high then tried to fly I was hangin' in the air thinkin' I'd make it there but no, it wasn't to be I heard the sound of my butt hit the ground as the world came up and hit me It was then my that my mind thought "This ain't a good sign, if I'm not goin' up and I can't hang around I must be goin' down Then my eyes did spy a well old and polluted with a terrible smell and I thought "Why not, a sewer makes a good gateway to hell!" So I broke the boards with a grin and quickly jumped right in but I had a fright when I caught a sight of water not fire and me not knowin' how to swim Then I was back before that guy who said "Boy at dyin', ya ain't too good!" He said, "You gotta go away and ya gotta leave today I don't know where you should go but I know that you know the way" I said if you please, turn down the sound and turn off the breeze If what you say is true and I'm overdue to be somewhere someway, if anyone's there and they really care they'll send someone someday and until then, I don't know when I'll keep doin' what I may Then I went back to take a nap and revived alive to stay and until then, I don't know when I'll keep doin' what I may This ain't heaven and it ain't hell but it's just as well away 'cause if someone found somethin' better around they forgot to send 'em to show me the way
