I heard you crying loud, All the way across town You've been searching for that someone, And it's me out on the prowl As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself Well, don't get lonely now And dry your whining eyes I'm just roaming for the moment Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight You been thinking about ditching me No time to search the world around Cause you know where I'll be found When I come around

Regrets collect like old friends Here to relive your darkest moments I can see no way, I can see no way And all of the ghouls come out to play And every demon wants his pound of flesh But I like to keep some things to myself I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn And I've been a fool and I've been blind (I've been blind) I can never leave the past behind I can see no way, I can see no way I'm always dragging that horse around All of his questions, such a mournful sound Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn But it's always darkest before the dawn Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa Shake it out, shake it out Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake him off, oh whoa

It doesn't mean much It doesn't mean anything at all The life I've left behind me Is a cold room I've crossed the last line From where I can't return Where every step I took in faith Betrayed me And led me from my home Sweet surrender Is all that I have to give

Paint your smile on your lips Blood red nails on your fingertips A school boy's dream, you act so shy Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye Oh, oh, you're a loaded gun Oh, oh, there's nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done Shot through the heart And you're to blame You give love a bad name (bad name) I play my part And you play your game You give love a bad name (bad name) You give love

Baby, is it spring or is it summer? The guitar sound, roll the beat of a drummer You hear sometimes late at night On your radio Even though you're a million miles away When you hear "Born in the USA" You relive those glory days So long ago When you think about me Do you think about 17? Do you think about my old Jeep Think about the stars in the sky? Funny how a melody sounds like a memory Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night Springsteen Springsteen

Let me introduce you to the featherweight queen She got Hollywood eyes But you can't shoot what she's seen Her mama was a dancer And that's all that she knew 'Cause when you live in the desert It's what pretty girls do I'm throwin' caution What's it gonna be? Tonight the winds of change are blowin' wild and free If I don't get out Out of this town I just might be the one who finally burns it down

I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you Take it to the good times, see it through the bad times Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know? Put your arms around me, baby, don't ever let go Let the world around us just fall apart Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart And we can build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now And if this world runs out of lovers We'll still have each other Nothing's gonna stop us Nothing's gonna stop us

I wish I could get my head out of the sand 'Cause I think we'd make a good team And you would keep my fingernails clean But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize 'Cause I can't even look in your eyes without shaking, and I ain't faking I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon I'm a lot like you, so please Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting I think I'd be good for you And you'd be good for me

Oh, honey Oh, sugar, sugar You are my candy girl And you got me wanting you When I kissed you, girl I knew how sweet a kiss could be (I know how sweet a kiss can be) Like the summer sunshine Pour your sweetness over me (Pour your sweetness over me) Oh-oh-oh-oh, sugar Pour a little sugar on it, honey Pour a little sugar on it, baby Make your life so sweet, yeah, yeah, yeah

Been beat up and battered around Been sent up, and I've been shot down You're the best thing that I've ever found Handle me with care Reputation's changeable Situation's tolerable But baby, you're adorable Handle me with care I'm so tired of being lonely I still have some love to give Won't you show me that you really care? Everybody's got somebody to lean on Put your body next to mine, and dream on

Standing in line to see the show tonight And there's a light on, heavy glow By the way, I tried to say I'd be there waiting for Dani, the girl, is singing songs to me Beneath the marquee, oversold By the way, I tried to say I'd be there waiting for

Cinderella, she seems so easy, "It takes one to know one, " she smiles And puts her hands in her back pockets Bette Davis style And in comes Romeo, he's moaning. "You Belong to Me I Believe" And someone says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend, you'd better leave" And the only sound that's left after the ambulances go Is Cinderella sweeping up on Desolation Row

Don't ever be afraid cause when you got it made Yeah you don't even have to try So I'll be waiting in your garden Watching all your flowers grow The sun leads the way the moon lights the sky I see you and I lying in my avant garden I dream of the day when our worlds collide

How can I try to explain? When I do he turns away again It's always been the same Same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen, now there's a way And I know that I have to go away I know I have to go It's not time to make a change Just sit down, take it slowly You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to go through Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old But I'm happy

Your lipstick stains On the front lobe of my left side brains I knew I wouldn't forget you And so I went and let you blow my mind Your sweet moonbeam The smell of you in every single dream I dream I knew when we collided You're the one I had decided who's one of my kind Hey, soul sister Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo The way you move ain't fair you know Hey, soul sister I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Dressed up to the eyes It's a wonderful surprise To see your shoes and your spirits rise Throw out your frown And just smile at the sound Sleek as a shriek, spinning 'round and 'round Always take a big bite It's such a gorgeous sight To see you eat in the middle of the night You can never get enough Enough of this stuff It's Friday, I'm in love

In the white room with black curtains near the station Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

Now I've lost the plot I'm not the hero I could be but not the dog I was Kind of common cry Kind of common living lie Color my fast fading heart People laugh at anything and things just fall apart Kind of common cry Kind of common living lie You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes Now they'll sleep alright

I laughed and shook hand And made my way back home I searched for form and land For years and years I roamed I gazed a gazeless stare We walked a million hills I must have died alone A long, long time ago Who knows? Not me I never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world

I'd have sworn that with time Thoughts of you would leave my head I was wrong, now I find Just one thing makes me forget Red red wine Stay close to me Don't let me be alone It's tearing apart My blue heart

I used to follow Yeah, that's true But my following days are over Now I just gotta follow through I remember what my father said He said, "Son, life is simple" It's either cherry red or Midnight blue

It's not a walk in the park To love each other But when our fingers interlock, Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it 'Cause after all this time I'm still into you I should be over all the butterflies But I'm into you (I'm into you) And baby even on our worst nights I'm into you (I'm into you) Let 'em wonder how we got this far 'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you

My finger's on the trigger Your the one I desire Cause I have this feeling feeling from nobody else Got to have your tenderness all to myself I say yeah yeah yeah yeah Wanna be your lover lover uhmm Wanna be your lover lover lover boy Lover lover yeah Wanna be your lover lover lover boy

I know the things you wanted, they're not what you have With all the people talkin', it's drivin' you mad If I was standin' by you, how would you feel? Knowing your love's decided and all love is real, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby And don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight There's a heaven above you baby And don't you cry tonight

Was he toxic behind the scenes? I was sick of his passive-aggressive BS but I'm a Gen Xer who is sick of all social media anyway so wtf do I know (obligatory get off my lawn). And yes, I was thrilled for trading for him when it first happened, despite all of this being his MO. Guess the brain trust is all in on eat our medicine now to set ourselves up for later. Just shocked it came to this considering the dead cap from Diggs' trade and already needing a #2, and now needing a #1.
