Let Me Be The Tin Man

Don’t let me rust, just keep me oiled
Wouldn’t need much, can’t be spoiled
Would let me live my life on earth
To the end of time from birth

Never looking back to what if
No warm blood, just cold and stiff
Not needing any others at all
No more feelings to take a fall

No blaming me, no blaming you
No heart breaking or feeling so blue
Maybe I can come back without a heart
No rules or issues from my new start

I’ll be mechanical, no expectations
Not feel good or bad sensations
Oh yes I’ll come back as a tin man
May not happen but it would be a nice plan!

The Power I Lose When I Started To Blame

don't know why i'm stuck on blaming,
i guess to give it power to be mad,
can't control the damage,
that i now have to go through,
life seems unfair but,
it only a lesson to be learned,
we can't alway be perfect,
no matter how much,
we want it to be true,
we can't always have what we want,
things happen for a reason,
blaming is just a quit way out,
we blame to take guilt,
put it on to somebody else,
just to feel good,
it only leave you in a cycle,
that seem to repeat itself,
until you say enough is enough,
you take back the power,
to live your life,
no longer do i feel like a slave,
for what had happened,
or feel like i'm in hell,
you got the one thing,
that matters back,
the power you gave up,
when you started to blame.

I Should Know Better

I keep blaming you for what happen
Is all my fault
I keep pushing you away
I hurt you baby
I’m so heartless
I don’t know what was I thinking
I should know better
You were being so kind
All I did is hurt you making you jealous
I didn’t care how you feel
I was dumb for breaking your heart
I hope one day you will forgive me
I keep going back to you and get hurt
I get you don’t want me
I should not get angry
It’s not your fault, it's mine
Stop saying sorry because
You didn't do anything wrong
It was me who make your heart
Breaking into million pieces like broke glass
In the first place
There other fish in sea
I cry once in awhile
I should know better
I need to let you go and set you free
Whatever happens between us was past
I should stop try getting in contact with you
It going make it harder to love other guys
Now it time to go different direction
I should just act like I never met you
I need to make changes or else
This is best for both of us
I hope you can understand
Time to close door on you and
Open doors for someone else
You didn’t care and look back
I should know better

Find Your Way Back

You know its been a long long road
Since I packed up and left on my own
And I can carry a heavy load
Just try n get back to her heart
I sure aint got no home
I seem to find love where I ramble
And when its time to go
I hear that voice again, say n
Chorus:
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Leave a message with the rain
You can find me where the wind blows
The snow across the pain
And the frost upon the heart
You got no place to be
Still you wonder where youre goin
And why I had to leave
I hear a voice and it says to me
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
To her heart, cmon
I know its too late now
But I wish I could go back in time
And start all over somehow
And get it right from the start
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back (find your way back) find your way back
Find your way back (find your way back) find your way back
Find your way back (find your way back) find your way back
Find your way back (find your way back) find your way back...

I Don't Look Back

I was born to travel down blue highways
I never seem to learn much from my past
I don't make excuses for my mistakes
I take each day and I live it
Like it was my last
I don't look back
One foot in front of the other
On this one way track I don't look back
I live my life my way
I don't look back
I'm sure there's memories I've missed out on
There's been a couple of loves I've left behind
I haven't found a heart hat I can count on
But don't feel sorry for me
I ain't the lonesome kind
I don't look back
One foot in front of the other
On this one way track
I don't look back
I live my life my way
I don't look back
No I don't look back
I don't look back
One foot in front of the other
On this one way track
I don't look back
I live my life my way
I don't look back
I live my life my way
I don't look back
No I don't look back
No, no I don't look back
I don't look back

If You Live Like That

You say you want to live for today
Before today is lost
But when the returns come in
Do they balance the cost
I can see your four wheels spin
I can smell smoke from the blaze
But we arent moving anyway
If youre seeing past rose colored shades
If you live like that
Dont look back
cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
I see it all around
People want it good and want it fast
As long as it moves you for the moment
It doesnt matter if it lasts
But our love is sweet
It can drive me to my knees
But we still got troubles you and i
Seeing the forest for the trees
If you live like that
Dont look back
cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
Ive had enough of these two lives
You say youll give to me
Ive had enough of your freedom
You know I want to feel free
Ive had enough gospel
I could spin my head around
I said if youre so caught up in heaven
You dont even see the ground
If you live like that
Dont look back
cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks, baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks, baby
I said dont look back
All we need is to take time
(slow down, new way)
See tomorrow in plain sight
(new dawn, new day)
New horizon in plain view
And were oiling up the engine
To put you straight on through
If you live like that
Dont look back
Oh no cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
Oh theres blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
Dont look back
Dont look back
If you live like that

Warmth Again

Icy heart
Warm heart.
The icy-hearted person feels nothing,
The warm-hearted person feels too much.
And most of the time, that person doesn't want to feel anymore.

I've an ice-cold heart, but I'm warm-hearted.
Why do I feel so cold?
I'm fifteen years old, but I feel like an old lady.
Why do I feel so old?

Cold heart,
Old heart,
Why can't I feel warm again?
Cold heart,
Old heart,
Why can't someone warm me up again?

Fifteen.
Back problems, foot problems, heart problems and more!
Asthma problems, leg problems, chest pain galore!
Help me out of this wreck of a body, kind sir...
Help me out of this wreck of a body, kind
Sir!

I'm fifteen years old, but I feel like an old lady.
Why do I feel so old?

Cold heart,
Old heart,
Why can't I feel young again?
Cold heart,
Old heart,
Can you make me feel myself again?

Dear Great One, please help me
Down here on Earth, sitting here I wait
to feel like myself again.

I've an ice-cold heart, but I'm warm-hearted.
Why do I feel so cold?
I'm fifteen years old, but I feel like an old lady.
Why do I feel so old?

Cold heart,
Old heart,
Why can't I feel warm again?
Why can't I feel young again?
Cold heart,
Old heart,
Why can't someone warm me up again?
Can you make me myself again?

Maybe someday...I'll feel myself again.

Elvis Presly & America

White flash, under my own love.
Tell me of my own.
White flash come though my own life.
Telling these things.
And I weary them.
And I believe in you.
White flash see the sky,
And it turns inside from you.
She wont turn my back.
And I know that it makes me blue.
And you hope.
And your sky is feeling blue.
And your heart, so cold when Im with you.
And you feel, like no one told you to.
And your time was on your side.
Dont talk to me.
You know, like no one told you how,
But you know the king that howls has howled.
But you feel like sentimental.
But you dont care without sharing in your heart.
But theres no hope, go to sleep.
So hope in sleep.
I breaking through for you and me.
And you dont.
No one told you to.
And you found out
Where you were going to.
You were through with me,
But I know you should be back for more
You know, and no one told you so.
And you know the sky,
And its shade of blue.
And you walk, you walk to let go.
You pull from the outside, tell me
Dont fade away.
Drop me down but dont break me.
In your sleep.
Its in your heart and mine.
The whole sea is dark.
Loving is on your side and walking through.
So let me in your heart,
You beat is like something from you.
They lost it.
So stay (sad) over midnight.
Oh stay (sad) under the sky.
And you know, and no one told you how.
And you cared,
And no one told you tried.
And your heart, it lift out from the side.
And the rain beats down.
And the shame beats down.
And this rain keeps on coming down.
And this time is right.
Dont let them push you by,
Youre going to go join god.
And if someone ask you why,
You tell them some old lie.
Give away some ole lie.
You know, and no one told you why.
And you feel,
Like you pretend you can
Go you live.
Dont you leave
Dont leave out part of me that I can feel.
Like I can feel me fall.
I cant hold on,
See that flaw.
Let me feel.
Let the pieces only flow.

Running So Long

Waking up crying
Not knowing why
And I'm feeling that I'm going insane
This work that I'm doing
Is breaking my back
This whiskey is breaking my brain
I can' help wondering
With all my good fortune
What makes me feel this way
I spend half of my time
Trying to figure it out
The other half running away

I know you're thinking
That you're lacking something
Can't seem to hold down your man
There's nothing about you
That drives me away
You love me as much as you can
I'm scared of something
It keeps me running
I'm sorry I just can't explain
Honey I love you
But I don't think it's fair
For you to be sharing my pain

I've been running so long
Feeling so wrong
It's all that I know how to do
But with the way that things are
I never get far
Before I start missing you

I run to an old friend
Down in the city
For a couple of laughs and some beers
But I talk about feelings
And spend the whole evening
Trying to hold back my tears
The girls on the street
Make me hungry for loving
But their kind of loving won't do
And here in my heart
I know before long
I'll come running again back to you

Only If I

Happy days pass by much faster
As every single moment that I spent with you
Somehow we let our feelings die
Slipping away without a try
Bring me back to when we met
Let's start all over
Chorus
If I could turn back time I know I'd
Do it again - Do it all again, oh
'Cause you were the summer of my life
Only if I
Could turn back time I know I'd
Give it again - Give my love again, oh
Memories that keep me warm inside
Only if I
Could seize yesterday tomorrow
And say the things
You've never heard from me before
I could have loved you once again
Only a heart cannot forget
Bring me back to where we met
Let's start all over

The Purpendicular Waltz

Put your money down
Take your choice
Thats the way it is
Every time with these boys
And you sense no shame
And you feel no disgrace
Somebody wins
Somebody loses
Its a dirty dirty race
Oh my life
Its a dogs life
One empty monday
Out of the blue
Took a good luck turn
Started something new
Out of the gutter
Out of the rain
Out of my head
And Im feeling no pain
Oh my life/feeling no pain
Take the strain
Its a dogs life
Ducking in the shadows
Diving in the dark
Rolling with the punches
Striking at the heart
Touching all the senses
Breaking those taboos
Bursting at the seams
Blowing all my fuses
The turning of a page
The burning of a book
(if youre) talking out of turn
(its) just the way you look
When the time is right
But the shape is wrong
And you find yourself
Where you dont belong
Back to reality
Back on the line
Back into this and youll feel no pain
You wanna do it one more time
We can do it once again
Oh my life
Its a dogs life

Gotta Get Her (Outta My Head)

Gotta get her out of my head
I gotta get her out of my heart
But I don't know where to start
Every little thing you do
Just won't let me get over you

Gotta get her out of my head
Gotta get her out of my heart
But I don't know where to start
Every little thing you do
Won't let me get over you

I think back on all the love we shared
Ain't it sad to see it all disappeared
When I don't even know where we went wrong
But my heart beats strong
And I know that you been away too long

But you know that I'm not the type of guy
To just sit around and let time pass me by
Got to get on out for a while
And just do my thing
But every time I get up
It seems I end up right back in love

Gotta get her out of my head
I gotta get her out of my heart
But I don't know where to start
Every little thing you do
Just won't let me get over you

I pretend that I'm not breaking down
I tried to hide the hurt whenever you come around
But it's plain to see that I need your love
So baby if you stayed another day
It wouldn't be too long

Everywhere I go at the end of every show
I press rewind to me and you
And the things we used to do

Last Dance

Wake up! its a monday morning
No time left to say goodbye
Cant breathe and the lights are changing.
You can live your own life
Making it happen
Working on your own time
Laid back and laughin
Oh no, oh no.
Headlights, make it home by sundown
Feeling that the day is through
Return back to where you come from
You can live your own life
Making it happen
Working on your own time
Laid back and laughin
Oh no, oh no.
You wake up in the mornin
And the suns comin up.
Its been up for hours and hours and hours
And hours and hours and hours
Its been up for hours and hours and hours
And you light up the stove
And the coffee cup, its hot.
And the orange juice is cold, cold, cold
Monday morning,
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Its time to go,
Time to go to work.
You can live your own life
Making it happen
Working on your own time
Laid back and laughin
Oh no, oh no.
No, no, no.

Sonnet: God Made Us Divinely

0 take my body, mind and heart; they're yours;
0 take them Lord, before I destroy them;
0 take my soul back ‘fore I sin more, Boss;
Give me a soul of stone, not priceless gem.

0 take my special senses back, my God;
I misused them so frequently since birth;
0 take my every dropp of blood back, Lord;
Before I spill it uselessly on earth.

0 take the precious life back that you gave;
The devils make me sin so easily;
I wish I go to live just in a cave;
They understand me not, my family!

God, allow Death to lay its hands on me;
I wish to quit earth, early, heavenly.

And the shame goes down
And this rain keeps on coming down

I Wanna Go Back There

Theres a place in my mind thats suspended in time
When we were happy in love
Days warm and sweet, and the night so complete
Then life was perfect for us
It was just you and i, only love in our eyes
Not a sign of a tear on our face
No sorrow, no pain, only sunshine, no rain
Before something else took its place
Oh, I wanna go back there
Back to the time there was no doubt you cared
Back to the time love was tender and fair
I wanna go back there, I wanna go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I wanna go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I wanna go back there
Do you think if we tried we could put life aside
And see if we might make it back
I know in my heart what we had at the start
I believe it could still be like that
Oh, I wanna go back there
Away from these heartaches, these worried and cares
Back to the time love was tender and fair
I wanna go back there, I wanna go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I wanna go back there (say you care)
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
I wanna go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I wanna go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I wanna go back there, I wanna go back there

When God closes a door, He opens another one.

Why to resist? Just go on your way,
Let it go, let happen as it may.
So many people are angry, fearful for what ever happens,
Blaming everybody, wants to bring back the dead, always tense.

If you loose the faith in goodness, you are lost,
At once go back, tell yourself, to continue the good faith it is a must,
Keep an open mind that everything works well,
If you believe, anyway this the Bible did foretell.

Go with the change, go with the wind,
Stand up well, where ever it lead,
You are the child of the Universe,
Believe you are OK, in all your travels.

Quit Playing Games With My Heart

Even in my heart I see
You're not bein' true to me
Deep within my soul I feel
Nothing's like it used to be

Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
I'mpossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby
Quit playin' games with my heart

Chorus:
Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart
I should've known from the start
Before you got into my heart

I live my life the way
To keep you comin' back to me
Everything I do is for you so
So what is it that you can't see

Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time
