DD4Bills Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 What happened here as the New York sunset disappeared? I found an empty garden among the flagstones there Who lived here? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop Now it all looks strange It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away" I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin' punches around And preachin' from my chair Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) I really wanna know (who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) 'Cause I really wanna know (who are you?

technobot Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 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?

DD4Bills Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Be on my side. I'll be on your side, baby. There is no reason for you to hide. It's so hard for me staying here all alone, When you could be taking me for a ride. She could drag me over the rainbow, Send me away. Down by the river, I shot my baby. Down by the river.

DD4Bills Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I am made from the dust of the stars And the oceans flow in my veins Here I hide in the heart of the city Like a stranger coming out of the rain The evening plane rises up from the runway Over constellations of light I look down into a million houses And wonder what you're doing tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Tonight's the night, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, tonight's the night. Bruce Berry was a working man He used to load that Econoline van. A sparkle was in his eye But his life was in his hands. Well, late at night when the people were gone He used to pick up my guitar And sing a song in a shaky voice That was real as the day was long.

PastaJoe Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I gave a girl a ride in my wagon She crawled in and took control She was tired 'cause her mind was a dragging I said get some sleep and dream of rock 'n' roll Like a picture she was laying there Moonlight dancing off her hair She woke up and took me by the hand She's gonna love me in my Chevy van And that's all right with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I, oh I have gotten used to havin' you around. The landscape would be empty if you were gone But it's all right cause I love you, and that's not going to change. Run me around and make me hurt again and again. But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letter of your name. The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain.
