Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too (x2) SUNKEN TREASURE There's rows and rows of house, with windows painted blue. With the light from the t.v. running parallel to you. But there is no sunken treasure, rumored to be. Wrapped inside my ribs in a sea black with ink. I am so out of tune with you, I am so our of tune with you. If I had a mountain, I'd try to fold it over. If I had a boat (or bone), you know I'd probably roll over. And I leave it on the shore, I'd leave it for somebody. Surely there's somebody who needs it more than me. I am so out of tune with you, I am so our of tune with you. All the leaves will burn and autumn fires then return. All the fires we burn, all will return. Music is my savior, and I was maimed by rock and roll. I was maimed by rock and roll. I was tamed by rock and roll. I got my name from rock and roll. SOMEDAY SOON \Wind will blow and the sun will shine. On that hill where we used to climb. I look in your eyes and you'll be mine. Someday soon. I won't even make a scene. It will be just like a dream. Cash is gonna flow down by the old mainstream. Someday soon. You don't know me, but I know you (you don't know me). You have no idea what I do (what I do). Make you mine and see you swoon. Someday soon. Sun's gonna shine, wind's gonna blow. On the hill where we used to go. I look in your eyes and down I will roll. Someday soon. Someday, someday soon. Someday, someday soon. OUTTA MIND (OUTTA SIGHT) (same lyrics as outta site (outta mind), except with some "I know you don't love me's" at the end). SOMEONE ELSE'S SONG I can't tell you anything you don't already know. I keep on trying, I should just let it go. I keep on singing, you're eyes they just roll. It sounds like someone else's song from along time ago. You already know the story and the chords are just the same. You already know I love you, and I sound like whats-his-name. But you can't stop me, I want you to know. I know it sounds like someone else's song from along time ago. KINGPIN I wanna be your kingpin, living in Pekin. I wanna be your bigwig, living in Pekin. I caught the flu and away I flew. N.Y.C., pediate blue. Dimeatap, and spinal tap, a-city maps, and hand claps. Statue of liberty play, it only works once, don't throw it away. Cause I wanna be your kingpin, living in Pekin Living in Pekin, livin in.... How can I, how can I give my love to you when I don't know what to do. (WAS I) IN YOUR DREAMS Was I in your dreams, I'd like to know. Did I touch your hand and did it feel like snow? Try to understand while I've got you on the phone. Did I hurt you like I know I can? Tell me why you'd ever wanna leave your lovin' man. Try to understand, please try to understand. Was I in your dreams, was I in your dreams? This dreamer died when his dreamed died too. But I don't really mind if I dream about you.. I can't say what any of that means. Oh, was I in your dreams, late last night. Did you hold pillow, did you squeeze me tight? I just wanna make everything all right. Was I in your dreams, was I in your dreams, was I? WHY WOULD YOU WANNA LIVE It's all happened here before. I know you've seen it too. I know you've seen it too. And it's all happened to you. Kid you've paid your dues. Dues and dues. Why would you wanna live in this world? (X2) I know you watch the news. I've seen it too. I've seen it too. And it's all happened to you. Kid you've paid your dues. Dues and dues. Why would you wanna live in this world? Why wouldn't you wanna live in this world? Wouldn't you wanna live.... THE LONELY 1 After the show you walked right past. Arms reached out for your autograph. And as you flashed your backstage pass. I caught your eye with a camera's flash. When the band came out they stood behind you. Cymbals crashed, the lights went blue. You stood alone in the halo's haze. Shinny guitar hung on gold lamay. And you, you were the lonely one. You were the lonely one. When you perform it's so intense. When the critics pan I write in your defense. I understand I'm just a fan, I'm just a fan. When I get home I turn off the alarm. I've checked the phone, no messages on. I play the ones from yesterday. I play you're song just to hear you say that.... You, you're the lonely one. You are the lonely one. You, you're the lonely one. You are the lonely one. DREAMER IN MY DREAMS Well there's a dreamer in my dreams, Swing from the beams, (With a) light shining off the snow. Well there's a singer in my heart, Burning up the charts, With songs about things we all know. Well there's a blister on his brain, That's driving him insane, Cause all good things they gotta go. Well there's a child on the way, It could be any day, But how this life will change him, that we don't know. Well there's a child on the way, One day, he's gonna say, "Ain't you my dad?" Then he's gonna look down and smile, and after awhile, He'll say, "That's for sure son, cause you got my eyes." Well there's a dreamer in my dreams, He's hanging from the beams, With light shining off the snow. Well there's a blister on his brain, It's driving him insane, And all good things have to go, all right. There's a dreamer in my dreams, Swinging from the beams, With a light shining off the lake. Well, I know I made mistakes, I'm passing then all on. But I hope he gets some before there gone, all right. Yeah, that's it. Well there's a dreamer in my dreams, Climbing up the back, Of a car they used to call a Cadillac. It's got a brand new set of keys, It's got a new look, it's got a new look, And his young one is gonna take it all away. I believe it... Well there's a dreamer in my dreams, Swinging from the beams, All wrapped up in my garage. He's hanging from a bell, He don't know what he's done, Just don't forget to day goodbye when he's gone. That's it. ____________________ ___________________________________ Timothy Minneci \\\ WFAL Falcon Radio 680am/Cable 50 Bowling Green St. Unv. \\\ Uncle Tupelo|Son Volt|Wilco Buffalo Bills & Sabres #1 \\\ Tragically Hip|Pearl Jam -------------------------------------------------------
