Oooo, You take me to the darkest places.
I used to be afraid,
but it’s alright
Raise your glass for a friend
Drink it fast, we can pretend
It’s alright
Oooo, You lead me by the poisoned water
Build a house upon the shore, Ignore the rapping at the door
Nevermore
Raise your glass, drink it fast
Enjoy it now, it does not last
But it’s alright
Oooo, You gave me something
And I’m really full of thanks, but I must get to the bank
And it’s alright
Raise your glass, past is past
Drink it fast, we’re here at last
And it’s alright.

All that I’ve got are all my days
I’m gonna take them and give them up for you
All that I’ve got are all my days
I’m gonna make them and them back to you
All that I’ve got are all my days
I’m gonna shape them and give them up to you
Give it all up, give it all up, give it all up to you
Give it all up, give it all up, give it all up to you
Give it all up, give it all up, give it all up to you
Give it all up, give it all up, give it all up to you
All that I’ve got are wayward ways
I’m gonna leave them and bring it home to you
All that I’ve got are wayward ways
I’m gonna leave them and bring it home to you
All that I’ve got are wayward ways
I’m gonna leave them and bring it home to you
Bring it on home, bring it on home, bring it on home to you
Bring it on home, bring it on home, bring it on home to you
Bring it on home, bring it on home, bring it on home to you
Bring it on home, bring it on home, bring it on home to you

Move On

It’s almost 2 AM. Tonight is wasted.
Can’t remember where I’ve been
But I can still taste it.
Let’s hope we won’t recall …any of this tomorrow
Been strung out on the wall
Nothing left to borrow
Pockets are empty and my clothes are worn
Can’t remember why I was ever born
Time is an outline of disfigured grace
Written in the lines on my face
Help is on the way,
We need it yesterday
When we sing a song
And we sing as one
Our voice is strong
Won’t you sing along?
Time to stand up …and move on.
Don’t shake those snakes at me …makes me nervous
Trade freedom for security
We don’t deserve this
When you look at me, you seem so angry
What happened to civility?
How’d it get so dangerous?
Love is like a black butterfly
Hidden in the dark of the midnight sky
As dawn is breaking it comes into sight
Gliding through the prism of the shattered Light
Help is on the way,
We need it yesterday
When we sing a song
And we sing as one
Our voice is strong
Won’t you sing along?
Time to stand up …and move on.

Morning comes to you like a lover
Feel the sunlight on your skin
The Earth so warm, so ripe and so tender
Feel the life throughout the land
Now wolves howl softly
And birds seek the trees
Daybreak, Springtime on the mountain
Feel the coolness in the air
Melting ice and cool, refreshing fountains
Like the water, have no care
Like you felt the wind for the first time
Felt the coolness in the air …in the air
And you look into the distance
See the mountains
We’ll be waiting for you
We’ll be waiting for you …there.
If you can cast aside those dreams born in darkness
And come back home to the land
The spaces in between, forgotten but familiar
Then I know you’ll understand
Like you felt the wind for the first time
Felt the coolness in the air …in the air
And you look into the distance
See the mountains
We’ll be waiting for you
We’ll be waiting for you …there.

Open your eyes
Raise a shade
The light comes pouring through
Through forever
Through time and space
And the darkness you once knew
Will she go?
Will she stay?
Or is she through with you?
Her hair is a mess
She’s torn her dress
But she still makes eyes at you
All at once the Earth explodes
In Her time of maternity
The trees will grow, the birds will sing
For the people that will hear
Song for song
Tonight is long
God, I pray for peace
Then comes the sun
For everyone
And it brings release
Open your eyes
Raise a shade
The light comes pouring through
Through forever
Through time and space
And the darkness you once knew
All at once the Earth explodes
In Her time of maternity
The trees will grow, the birds will sing
For the people that will hear

My generation will come and go
Pilgrims passing to and fro|
Spinning straw-men into gold
I tell you, mothers, it’s something to behold
Today I bake, tonight I brew
Come tomorrow, gonna rip myself in two
I’m so glad they never knew
My secret name
Care is cold and lies are sweet
What I need to feel incomplete
Twist my face into a smile
I’ll be sleeping hollow in a while
Today I wake, tonight I’ll brew
And strike some pins with Hudson’s ghostly crew
I’m so glad they never knew
My secret name
Spinning straw-men into gold
I tell you, babies, it’s something to behold
Twist my face into a smile
I’ll be sleeping hollow in a while
Today I wake, tonight I’ll stew
Into some kind of bitches brew
I’m so glad they never knew
My secret name

This is a story of Brian Jones
All he ever had were some rolling stones
He could make 'em sing when he put them in his hat
And went on to Joujouka, to smoke the magick hookah
This is a story of Brian Jones
Brian Jones, Brian Jones
Caught a wave from a friendly hand
Made him feel what he could not understand
Made him feel like he was one of them
So he went on to Joujouka, to smoke the magic hookah
Brian Jones was not afraid to die
Brian Jones was very high
This is a story of Brian Jones
Brian Jones was ...very stoned.
I've got a silver light; I'm gonna let it shine til midnight
Gonna let it shine til one or two
Or until I get through to you
Got Brian Jones on the phone
And he said,"tell 'em, I'm not dead."
Every cloud has got a silver lining
And above me, the sun is always shining! ..That's right.
