| 1 - Million Pills
Well it is hard to tell
why I don’t feel well
and I can’t make it right.
All I can do is wait
and try to medicate
and make it through another night.
I took a million pills, but I still feel that pain.
I took a million pills, but nothing seemed to change
I took a million pills but I still feel the same
Without you, without you.
There is something wrong inside,
I have no place to hide.
and I feel so alone.
I was young and strong,
knew where I belong.
Now I can’t find my way home.
I took a million pills, but I still feel that pain.
I took a million pills, but nothing seemed to change
I took a million pills but I still feel the same
Without you, without you.
And knowing me like you do.
I hoped you feel the same way too.
But you never will.
I took a million pills.
If I could see the sun,
if I could just get numb
and know there was a way.
to keep you here with me.
Like it was meant be
and believe, in a brand new day.
A brand new day.
I took a million pills, but I still feel that pain.
I took a million pills, but nothing seemed to change
I took a million pills but I still feel the same
Without you, without you.
And nothing red, pink or blue,
Makes me feel like you do.
and time just stands still.
I took a million pills.
2 - Hemingway
Could have been a doctor.
But I can’t stand the sight of blood.
Could have been a poet,
But I don’t know enough about love.
Could have been a lawyer,
But I didn’t want to crack the books
Could have been a movie star, But I did not have the looks
Now in this smoky bar,
You know those dreams just float way.
So pour me another drink
Just like Ernest Hemingway.
I know that you have something
You are just dying to say.
Make it short and sweet
Just like Ernest Hemingway.
Could have been a rock star
Well maybe not.
Could have been a millionaire
I would have spent every cent I got.
Could have been a preacher,
but who knows right from wrong.
Could have been your lover,
But I know that I’m not that string.
And the sun it also rises
In a place so far away.
and in my mind I go there
just like Ernest Hemingway.
I know you want to leave me
Find the right words to say.
Just make it short and sweet.
Just like Ernest Hemingway.
Could have been a bartender
Then I’d buy you the next drink.
Could have been a philosopher,
But now I don’t know what to think.
Don’t have to be no gypsy.
To know what you’re going to say to me
Yeah, all alone, that’s what I am going to be .
And I know that you’d still love me now.
If I could only say.
What’s in my heart.
Just like Ernest Hemingway.
And God is in his heaven.
And if you are going to pray.
He says, make it short and sweet
Just like Ernest Hemingway.
3 - Only My Heart
I’ve got something here I want you to have.
It don’t take a lot to make it sad.
I have had it here under lock and key.
No one knows where it is but me
And I will share it with you.
If you will be as careful as you can be.
Oh yeah, all right,
It’s yours for just one night.
Oh yeah, all right.
Better treat it right.
Well if it all falls apart,
It’s only my heart.
It ain’t made of silver, bronze or gold.
But is is all I have if the truth be told
For the longest time, it’s been alone.
Torn and tattered, mended and sewn.
But I will give it to you.
If you promise to treat it like it was your own.
Oh yeah, all right,
It’s yours for just one night.
Oh yeah, all right.
Better treat it right.
Well if it all falls apart,
It’s only my heart.
4 - Younger
If I was younger than I am right now
If I was younger, I would show you how
not to make the same mistakes I know your gonna make
every chance you take.
If I was younger, I would learn to dance
If I was younger, I’d wear baggy pants
that fall around my knees and make grownups pity me
but I’m laughing you see.
If I was younger it would be my world.
If I was younger we could talk about girls
and all the heartache that love brings and how love means everything
in every song we’d sing
Yeah, yeah, gonna fly,
Oh yeah, yeah, don’t even have to try.
Oh yeah, yeah, never gonna die.
Never gonna die.
If I was younger, I would kick your ass
If I was younger, we could smoke some grass
or have a beer or two and act like we’re real cool
and break every rule
If I was younger, I would be so sad
If I was younger, I couldn’t be your dad
and tell you what to do, and worry over you and pray you make it
through
everything you do
If I was younger.
5 - All Good Things
Seems like forever.
When is my turn gonna come?
I’m trying hard to remember.
Patience is a virtue I have none.
And they say all good things come to those who wait.
But all good things, they are already late.
And we don’t know which way to go,
or what tomorrow brings.
Still we’ll sit and wait for all good things.
Sunlight in the springtime.
Wind blows through the meadow, flowers bloom.
Life is what happens in the meantime.
Think of love, the rest will get here soon.
And we hope all good things come to those who wait.
But all good things, well they are already late
So, here we are, we’ll hide the scars and find a song to sing.
You know that we believe in all good things.
6 - Satellite
Round and round, here we go.
Where it stops, no one knows.
I’ll tell ya now, I don’t wanna fight
Drawn to you like gravity
Why it is a mystery
How it is that you are always right
And you make it hard just to try to be your friend
And it’s harder still to know where this will end,
Yeah, how it will end.
Cuz all around the world tonight, planets spin out of sight
but I’ll tell you now I won’t be your satellite.
Earth and sun, moon and stars
Hard to figure where we are
and what it means to be in this universe.
Seems I’m just in orbit here
Circling in your atmosphere
In or out of love, I don’t know what’s worst.
And you make it hard just to try to be your friend.
And it’s harder still to know how this will end.
Yeah, how it will end
Well all around the world tonight,
lovers hold each other tight.
But I’ll tell you now I won’t be your satellite.
7 - Feel Real Good
Well I was born smoking in the womb.
When I die, gonna be smoking in my tomb.
Look out baby, baby, give me some room.
Here I come, honey, like a sonic boom, boom, boom, boom.
Now I don’t know where you going when you die
But I’ll tell you what there ain’t no more pumpkin pie.
You better get your piece before life goes on by.
Give it to me with the whipped cream piled high, fifteen miles high.
How do you measure the pleasure in this one life you have?
I never felt better, cuz I feel so good being bad.
I just wanna feel real good.
I just wanna feel real good.
I just wanna feel real good.
I’ll tell you now I don’t wanna hurt no one.
Ain’t gonna worry bout the things I haven’t done.
You want some lovin, baby, I wanna give you some.
Burning in your ocean honey like the setting sun, like the setting
sun.
Most people do anything to live long as they can.
But sooner or later, hon, you got to see the man.
There ain’t no promise you going to the promised land
Who’s standing on the rock or in the sinking sand, in the
sinking sand.
How do you measure the pleasure of this one life you have?
I never felt better, cuz I feel so good being bad.
I just wanna feel real good.
I just wanna feel real good.
I just wanna feel real good.
8 - Summer of Love
Donovan was singing Sunshine Superman.
Early Saturday morning, I got something in my hand.
Thinking bout Suzie, hope she’s thinking bout me.
Then everything would be groovy as groovy’s gonna be.
So come on everybody, come on everyone.
Come on everybody, we’re gonna have some fun.
Gonna get as high as the stars up above.
Feel the sunshine - in the summer of love.
Got my desert boots and Levis and my hair is getting long.
Smoked a cigarette on the roof listening to my favorite song.
Heard Robbie’s older brother gonna score himself a lid.
Then Robbie’s gonna find out where he’s got that bad
boy hid.
So come on everybody, come on everyone.
Come on everybody, we’re gonna have some fun.
Gonna get as high as the stars up above.
Well eveyone’s tripping - in the summer of love
Sitting in her bedroom, blacklight posters on the wall.
You know Suzie’s so fine, over broken class I’d crawl.
Better light some incense, put on Jade East cologne.
Please God, let my parents be asleep when I get home.
So come on everybody, come on everyone.
Come on everybody, we’re gonna have some fun.
Gonna get as high as the moon up above.
Everything is groovy - in the summer of love.
Thirty three years later, now I just turned forty three.
Wondering how I got here, well it’s just a mystery.
Looking at my children, now my stomach starts to burn.
Hear my daddy laughing, saying ‘son now it’s your turn’.
So come on everybody, come on everyone.
Come on everybody, we’re gonna have some fun.
Gonna get as high as the stars up above.
Everything is groovy - in the summer of love.
9 - Electric
How can I think of you.
After all you put me through.
I’ll find the missing piece,
Feel the power underneath
What’s inside you’ve never seen.
But power turns around.
What goes up is gonna come down.
Can you feel it now?
Power turns around
Putting me up just to put me down
But can you feel me now
Can you feel me now?
Baby I’m electric
Well you cannot hold the air.
But with each breath you know it’s there.
So just have some faith in me.
Be what you want to be.
It’s only love that makes us free.
But power turns around.
What goes up is gonna come down.
Can you feel it now?
Power turns around.
Putting me up just to put me down
Can you feel me now?
Can you feel me now?
Can you feel me now?
Baby I’m electric
10 - Naked
Seen her on a TV screen.
Looking sad, then looking mean.
I know what that bad girl needs,
with eyes staring right through me.
Got no time to waste,
so lets cut to the chase.
Well I just want to see you naked,
Strip away a layer or two.
I just want to see you naked.
Find out what’s inside of you
Hold me close now, to your breast.
Tell me how I’m different from the rest.
What’s real about you I can hardly guess.
You’re my angel, I confess.
My weakness you’ll exploit.
So let me get to the point.
Yeah, I just want to see you naked.
Naked as the day you were born.
I just want to see you naked.
You’ll need someone to keep you warm.
Why we’re here, we all know.
Now it’s time to start the show.
Play guitar, dance and sing.
It really comes down to just one thing
I just want to see you naked.
Baby give a dog a bone.
I just want to see you naked
Well, sometimes I feel so alone.
11- Over You
Here I am at the fork in the road.
Sitting here and listening to the four winds blow.
I don’t know which way to go.
Help me Jesus, with this heavy load.
Help me Jesus, with this heavy load.
Pale moon shining through the trees
See the dark clouds following me.
Now, here I am down on bended knee
Wondering now baby where can you be.
Wondering now baby where can you be.
You’re like a wall so high.
You can’t break through
Oh baby I’m still trying
To get over you.
To get over you.
I know there got to be a better way.
But what it is, now I can’t say
If I could change you know I’d do it today
But sinful pride won’t let me pray.
Sinful pride won’t let me pray.
You’re like a wall so high.
You can’t break through
Oh baby I’m still trying
To get over you.
To get over you.
Now everyday I wake up trouble in mind.
Never knowing if true love I’ll find.
If I’m on the right road, give me a sign.
Do anything, turn back the hands of time.
Do anything, turn back the hands of time.
You’re like a wall so high.
You can’t break through
Oh baby I’m still trying
To get over you.
To get over you.
12 - Go Now
Never ever really knew where you were going.
You only knew you had to get there right away.
Is it luck or fate, there’s no way of knowing.
That brought us here on such a fine sunny day.
When you were young, you wouldn’t listen to no one.
Well, funny how some things never change.
Maybe one day you’ll be sorry for the things that you’ve
done.
But now it’s time to move on just the same
If you got to go, you got to go, you got to go,
Go now.
If you got to go, you got to go,
Go now.
You used to live your life like there was no tomorrow.
You know I can’t do that anymore.
Fill up your life with things that just leave you hollow.
Can you help me find what I’m looking for.
If you got to go, you got to go, you got to go,
Go now.
If you got to go, you got to go.
We see the light, so hold on tight.
When it’s time, inside you’ll know
You got to go
Its only love that keeps us all connected.
Keep your spirit from floating above this earth.
Our soul is an offering just waiting to be collected
It’s only then you find out what it’s worth
If you got to go, you got to go, you got to go,
Go now.
If you got to go, you got to go.
Go now.
13- Ready Or Not
River runs down to the sea,
Let the waves wash over me.
Taste salty water, well I don’t know,
Could be a tear I cried long ago.
I feel so cold, then I run red hot
Don’t think about you, yeah I say that a lot.
Like a needle and a thread repeat
I’m held together by your memory
Ready or not
I’m here to love you
Ready or not
Can’t hear Hank sing that sad, sad, song.
Bout another woman that has done him wrong.
I know you can’t lose what you ain’t never had.
Why would you want a heart that feels so bad?
No voodoo charm or Mojo hand
Can change the fact that I’m your man.
Because your mine, I put a spell on you.
Can’t no one love you the way I do.
Ready or not
I’m here to love you
Ready or not
14 - So Many Things
Wake up, life is a worried dream.
Make up your own world and now it seems
That every time you look around ,somebody else is going down.
You know better stop your self from thinking.
Let go feel the weight and now your sinking.
Now I have go to find a way to make through another day.
But so many things can go wrong.
Yeah, so many things can go wrong.
You know, so many things can go wrong.
Don’t let it in, don’t let it in
Outside the world just keeps on turning.
What’s life? Consciousness that keeps returning.
Is there a spirit in this shell that lives again, well I can’t
tell.
No sleep, heart is beating faster.
No peace waiting for the next disaster
Where do people find the faith to think that every things OK?
I wish that I could be that way
But so many things can go wrong.
Yeah, so many things can go wrong.
You know, so many things can go wrong.
Don’t let it in, don’t let it in
Worry worry all the time
The missing piece, the puzzled mind.
The clues are there but I can’t seem to figure out this mystery
How can people be so strong?
When so many things can go wrong.
Yeah, so many things can go wrong.
You know, so many things can go wrong.
Don’t let it in, don’t let it in
15 - Just Get There
Stop your yacking, your on my main nerve.
Don’t you ever stop and listen to yourself.
You got the life that you deserve.
Now don’t try to blame everybody else.
If you can do better, baby, be my guest.
I want to hear you singing all night long
It’s quite simple, baby, more or less.
Just please everyone with every song.
Well hey, hey. All right.
There’s got to be a better place somewhere.
Well hey, hey. All right
And I would do anything if I could just get there.
Maybe some place where the trees are tall
And the sky is blue and the waters clean.
Wash away the fear that makes you small
Don’t try to figure out what it all means.
Maybe it’s me, tell me if I’m wrong
But nobody here seems to have a clue.
Now I’m as tired as the day is long
And its only when I sleep, that my dreams come true.
Well hey, hey. All right.
There’s got to be a better place somewhere.
Well hey, hey. All right
And I would do anything if I could just get there.
16 - Long White Robe
Well I was thinking bout all the bad things I have done.
And I was hoping Jesus would forgive me when he comes.
‘Cause when I leave this mortal coil
Don’t want to burn bake or boil
When I go let me wear my long white robe
Now I know I wasn’t all that I could be.
And at the gate, there will be a long line in front of me.
And everyone is pushing forward.
Don’t want to be left back with all the lawyers.
When I go let me wear my long white robe
Now dressed in black you may look thinner
But you’ll be roasting with all those sinners
Better pray God lightens your load
Wash away your sins
You wear that long white robe.
Now most people don’t seem to be worried bout where they’re
bound.
Everyone’s thinking, they’re going up when they’re
going down.
You ain’t going to be playing no golden flute.
Your going to be wearing that asbestos suit.
When I go, wanna wear my long white robe.
