Pull Away

Ohhhh
Pull
Pull away
Away from everyone
Is there some way out?
Somewhere you can go?
Oh no no no
We dont have the answers, sailed a thousand years, thats on your own
Is there one thin resolution?
Are you cold?
Is there everything
I said, is everything they push upon you?
Still I watch you pull away
Away
Away
Away from everything, you pull away
Wont you come on, pull
Pull away
Away from everyone
Is there no way out?
No where left to roam?
Oh no no no
We dont have your answers
Youre a thousand years, still on your own
But theres one thin resolution
Are you cold?
Is there everything?
I said, is everything they push upon you?
Still I watch you pull away
You pull away
You pull away
Away from everyone
You pull
Pull away
You pull away
Oh wont you heal my broken hands, they lay upon you
Wrap my soul around
Still I watch you pull away
Heal my broken hands, they lay upon you
Wrap my soul around you
Still I watch you pull away
Drain your tears
Oh no, drain your tears
But you pull, pull away
Away from everyone
Pull, pull away
Away from everyone
Is there somewhere, somewhere you can go?
No, theres no nowhere
Nowhere left to run
Still you pull, you pull away
Away
Away
Away from everything
You pull,
You pull away
You pull away
Oh wont you heal my broken hands, they lay upon you
Wrap my soul around
Still I watch you pull away
Heal my broken hands, they lay upon you
Wrap my soul around you
Still I watch you pull away
You pull away
You pull away
You pull away
Away from everyone
You pull away
You pull away
You pull away

Push and Pull

It is hard to keep it clean,
When you push and pull.
Or acting happy when feeling mean,
When you push and pull.
And people stand around just to see one weep.
When you push and pull.
And when you say 'hello' they don't even speak.
When you push and pull.

You might see Bo Peep having some trouble with her sheep,
When you push and pull.
You might see Mary and her lambs giving Bo Peep creeps.
When you push and pull.
You might see Humpty Dumpty crawling up a wall.
When you push and pull.
You might see Perter and The Wolf eating chips at a local mall.
When you push and pull.

Ain't nothing easy,
When you try to keep your feet from sinking...
Deep!
And with no sleep.

It is hard to keep it clean,
When you push and pull.
Or acting happy when feeling mean,
When you push and pull.
And people stand around just to see one weep.
When you push and pull.
And when you say 'hello' they don't even speak.
When you push and pull.

And they push bull,
When you push and pull.
And they push bull,
When you push and pull.

Lean On Me

Heavy burden on your shoulder
Lean on me
Heavy burden on your shoulder
Lean on me
Heavy burden on your shoulder
Everyday just a little bit harder
Heavy burden on your shoulder
Lean on me
Down and out without hope
Lean on me
Down and out without hope
Lean on me
Down and out without hope
Im right here, Ill help you cope
Down and out without hope
Lean on me
Grab a rope and pull me in
But lean on me
Everyday, youll have a friend
But lean on me
Grab a rope, pull me in
Everyday youll have a friend
Grab a rope
In the world, ? ?
And if youre looking for a rainy day friend
Well grab a rope, pull me in
Lean on me
Heavy burden cloudy skies
Lean on me
Ill be the ? ? of weeping eyes
But lean on me
If you always feels like rain
All youve got in life is pain
Heavy burden, go away
Oh... , goodbye
Heavy burden, on you shoulder
Lean on me

Steady

Friends they call me
On the phone
cause Im steady
Talk about unhappy homes
cause Im steady
Though I dont like to let it show
I got troubles of my own
We push and pull
And we fall apart
Im not gonna die
Of a broken heart
I just dont want to
Stop and start
cause Im steady
Day to day is so unsure
But Im steady
I watch people crash and soar
But Im steady
The more they try
So hard to change
The more they stay the same
We push and pull
And we fall apart
Im not gonna die
Of a broken heart
I just dont want to
Stop and start
cause Im steady
Were faced with so much
Back and forth
I dont need no ups and downs
We push and pull
And we fall apart
Im not gonna die
Of a broken heart
I just dont want to
Stop and start
cause Im steady
Im steady
Im steady

Jumping Rope

We are jumping rope together
we are jumping rope together
unwinding naughty knots of tether
we are jumping rope together

We are jumping rope together
we are skipping beats together
pouting panting chasing chants
unraveling rigid wraps to sever

We are jumping rope together
we are jumping rope together
jointly jogging jagged breath
suddenly we
sneeze!

Illusion and ignorance

To mistake a rope for a snake
Or to mistake a snake for a rope
Is illusion in perception.
To take a rope for rope and
A snake for snake is knowledge.
To take a rope not for a rope
And a snake not for a snake
Is ignorance. We employ
All the three at variant times
At different degrees in life.

Rope The Moon

(jess brown/jim denton)
I dont have a lot to show
For these years of hard work
If you look at what I own
Still shes always telling me
To hold on to my dreams
Even when my hope is gone
Some may say that dreamings just for fools
And there are times I thought that might be true
But she thinks I could rope the moon
In her eyes there is nothing I cant do
When I think its out of reach
Shes the reason I still try
She thinks I could rope the moon
When I look at the sky
But cant see through the clouds
She shows me the brightest stars
If I think of coming back
cause Im having my doubts
She tells me Ive come so far
Nothing in this world comes easily
But I cant lose with her right next to me
cause she thinks I could rope the moon
In her eyes there is nothing I cant do
When I think its out of reach
Shes the reason I still try
She thinks I could rope the moon
Oh she thinks I could rope the moon

Never Sometimes

Well I never wanted
It to be this way with you.
So broken-hearted.
Look at all the things
Weve been through.
Sometimes i,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
Youre hard to follow,
So hard to follow.
Tragic,
To realize that you talk to much.
So tragic,
To realize that youre far too gone
To say youre wrong.
Sometimes i,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
Youre hard to follow,
So hard to follow.
Tie the rope around me once more.
I might bend, but I wont break.
Take this timeout
To find yourself.
Take this timeout to learn.

Edgar Lee Masters

Roger Heston

Oh many times did Ernest Hyde and I
Argue about the freedom of the will.
My favorite metaphor was Prickett's cow
Roped out to grass, and free you know as far
As the length of the rope.
One day while arguing so, watching the cow
Pull at the rope to get beyond the circle
Which she had eaten bare,
Out came the stake, and tossing up her head,
She ran for us.
"What's that, free-will or what?" said Ernest, running.
I fell just as she gored me to my death.

Jump (The Velvet Rope)

Some people get lucky
Born with a silver spoon
Other people got to work real hard
A whole life of paying dues
One man got a big old house
Fast car and swimming pool
Another man got a big old wife
Ten kids and one bathroom

[PRE-CHORUS]

Sometimes
We're just stuck
Behind
The velvet rope [x2]

[CHORUS]

You gotta jump up so high
Jump up jump over the rope
You gotta jump up so high
Jump up jump the rope

Some people get lucky
Take a chance to strike it rich
Other people wll they bet it all lose
Ain't life a bitch
One man's on the guest list
Arrives in a limousine
Another man got to stand on line
Outside in the pouring rain

[BRIDGE]

We got the world on a string
Wrapped around our fingers
We got everything we need
We don't need a thing
There ain't no rope that can hold us
Nothing keeps us down
There ain't a rope that can bind us
We're gonna jump up off the ground

Save Me

Man all alone, caught in raging water
Man overboard, caught in a terrible storm
Throw me the rope, pull me out of trouble
I need someone, someone to keep me warm
Why dont you save me
Im burning with desire
Why wont you save me
Dont leave me all alone
And its all right
Wrap me up, baby wont you take me home
Forty below, high up a lonely mountain
Slipping down, baby Im sinking fast
Throw me the rope, pull me out of this trouble
S.o.s. dont think Im gonna last
Why dont you save me
Im burning with desire
Why wont you save me
Come on hold me tight
And its all right
Dont you know were gonna have fun tonight

Rope hair woman

Rope hair woman
Where you’re off to tonight
Rope hair woman
You’re lookin’ out of sight
O rope hair woman
I love with all my might
Rope hair woman if you could if you can
Let me be your dread lock man.
Dread lock man
Can you understand
That a rope hair woman
Does all that she can
To move you to that sexual point
Better then your hand
O rope hair woman
Here is my plain
Rope hair woman I will give
Up my womanly man
O rope hair woman
The world can understand
That you want a dread lock man.

I Hate To Do This To You

I hate to do this to you
But you need to know that I can't take the pressure
Of this cold cold world
So please pull my plug

I hate to do this to you
But I don't know what to do
So can you please pull the trigger
I promise It won't hurt me

I hate to do this to you
But I have thought of everything and this
Is the only thing I could thing of
So please dont be sad it wasn't your fault

I hate to do this to you
But it has to happen
So please give me the bottle and unscrew the lid
I'll go peacefully so dont worry

I hate to do this to you
But it's the only way to end your pain
So please don't follow me
Cause it's not your time, it's mine

I hate to do this to you
But its my only escape
I'll pour the gasoline, if you light the match
It's not your problem it's mine, so don't worry about me

I hate to do this to you
But it's the only way I know how to stop this nightmare
Please dont cry
I love you

I hate to do this to you
But its hard I've been through this too many times
So please hand me that rope
And don't look back

I hate to do this to you
But I can't handle this anymore
Its my time to go, so please don't wait
Cause no one can save me now!

Dont Hang Me On

When will you touch the sky. will you stop to wonder why. excitement is your pain. while I am helpless once again. take it out on me. if it makes you feel. that once again youre free. dont try
Ang me on. this rope of greed. this rope I feed you. cos if Im hanging on. you wont be there to watch me bleed over you. your eyes reveal your tale. when silence scares your words away. you only turn to me. when it becomes too hard to see. take it out on me. if it makes you feel. that once again youre free. dont try to hang me on. this rope of greed. this rope I feed you. cos if Im hanging on. you wont be there to watch me bleed over you.
