WISHING WELL
c-a hundred pennies for a hundred wishes, thrown in a water well
made of granite stone, he knew those pennies fell...
1~susie madea wish that mommy'd get well
dougy made a wish that his chevy'd sell
and ami threw in a quarter
'twenty-five wishes she'd be older (cx1)
2~the army wished the war'd be done
hopefully the allies won
the schools wishin for money
doesn't the story sound funny?(cx1)
3~I wished for a rocking horse, and a new dolly named liz
wished for popstar fame, to be in something called showbiz
wished for falling in and out, finding out real love
and there he'd be shooting stars from above <roundout>
4~susie's mommy died that day, dougy's car was stolen
ami's still eleven years old, and the war is still rollin
the schools flat broke, and I'm alone
waiting for fame to call, on my cordless phone (cx2)
LIES
1~slumbering, morning, drooping out the window, why does this life always go so slow?
fading. numbing, just a word nothing, mumbleing, jumbleing, oh I am stumbleing
c-lies, no more alabis, it's come no suprise, I can see it in your eyes, lies after lies...
2~telling, spilling the contents of a heart break, thumbing struming, how much more he can take
dreaming, wishing, oh how he's missing, lover brother, the boy he should be kissing (cx1)
3-eating, puking, out the pain and sorrow, hunger, and anger, he just can't let go
looking searching, an end is coming, feeding that hatred, that boy is jumping (cx2)
FROM NOW ON
1~a man is standing, in the middle of the highway...thumbing for a ride
this man...any man...is more important than me
I(continued) I stood there and I knew you, I stood there through the ups and downs
I picked up the peices, and this is what I found
C~~jamie came first and me not even close
he'll be there standing tall
he'll hold you before you fall
so let him pick up the peices from now on
2~will he understand where I only knew
will he be there forever
will he see right through you
will he make things better? (cx1)
3~and now I am invisible, waiting my release
you needing some approcreation, I'm tired of begging at your feet
and now I'm done (cx1)
4~Jamie is standing in the middle of the highway...thumbing for a ride
this man...any man...is more important than me.
SAVE ME
1~856 miles from a place titled home, even there he felt all alone
all by himself with a talkitive mind, searching for his answers, but not a one could he find
c-;the horrid sounds, coming from the halls, some ignore, some shut the door
he's there and he calls SAVE ME
2~on a bus headed out to no where, that boy he didn't care
just as long as he was away from the damage, trying to learn to be ok(cx1)
3~the halls here look so surreal, but he knows that they can't be real
the people so plastic so fake, but they might give away, all the pain he feels(cx1
1-was the soul destined not to join
or is it the flip of a quarter coin(that decided our fate)
what if you can not place
the look on your face(so what if you're a little late)
c->silent arrougence you own, out of town and home grown
you'll still be alone, I'm glad I'm not you
2-beauty on the tainted walls
can you help it when rain falls(the loss you can not bare)
prince chrming on his steade
he'd be the one you need(but he's not there)
chorus x1
3-creative heart within hidden soul
what can't he let go(where did he place me)
there on a lonly little star
I sit and write my heart(knowing these he didn't see)
...ahhhhh....
looksist and needy, who are you to me
no one important that I should see
love is evolution, its a revolution
my solution, my conclusion is....
chorus x2
