Deep Water
You find yourself falling down
Your hopes in the sky
But your heart like grape gum on the ground
And you try to find yourself
In the abstractions of religion
And the cruelty of everyone else
And you wake up to realize
Your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive
When you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
And when you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it's these little times that help to remind
It's nothing without love
You wake up to realize your only friend
Has never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end
That's when suddenly everything fades or falls away
Cause the chains which once held us are only the chains which we've made
Chorus
We've compromised our pride
And sacrificed our health
We have to demand more
Not of each other
But more from ourselves
Chorus

I Want To Wake Up
I heard what you said, and I can tell you its true
I heard youve said that I am crazy about you
Turn in my sleep, the bad dream is over
Think of you and shall I ever recover?
Now, I want to wake up
How I want to wake up
I stood at the kitchen-sink, my radio played
Songs like tainted love and love is strange
As I listened and the words hit my ears
I cried sudden tears
Now, I want to wake up
How I want to wake up
Wake up
(wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(its mad, its mad, its mad)
Its mad, to be in love with someone else
When youre in love with him, shes in love with me
But you know as well as I do
I can never think of anyone but you
(all my life,
All my life
I want to wake up)
Play with fire, play with guns
Its easy to impress someone
Turning in my sleep, you call me a fool
To fall in love, is it so uncool?
Now, I want to wake up
How I want to wake up
Now, I want to wake up
Wake up

Deep Water
Is it a crime for me to be feeling this way
I'm going out of my mind and there's
no change from a runaway love
Is it a dream (is it a dream)
That I'm throwing in the wishing well
I'm losing control my body and soul
(body and soul)Standing here waiting
for a train that may never come
I saw the signs I read the books
I should of had a second look
ut you caught me dreaming
nd there were times you'd come around a
we'd agreed to just be friends tell
me who it's fooling oooo
Deep water I'm drowning
Deep water I'm slowly drowning in deeper
Deep water I'm drowning
Deep water I'm slowly drowning in deeper
what do I say(what can I say)
where words have failed me before
what do i do when i'm feeling so blue
and there's no place for me to run and hide
I saw the sun inside your smile and wished
for then just awhile cause boy you caught
me dreaming a giant step into the dark
and we through caution to the wind tell
me who we're fooling oooo
Deep water I'm drowning
deep water i'm slowly drowning in deeper
Deep water i'm drowning
deep water i'm slowly drowning deeper
i'm drowning
deeper deeper i'm drowning in deeper
oh i saw the signs i read the book
i should have had a second look
cause boy you caught me dreaming
and there are times youd come around
and we'd agreed to just be friends tell me who it's fooling
Deep water i'm drowning
deep water i'm slowly drowning in deeper
deep water i'm drowning
deep water i'm slowly drowning in deeper
deeper deeper deeper
i'm drowning in deeper
(drowning in drowning in drowning in)
deeper deeper deeper
so deep is the water

The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
This here is the place I will be staying
There isnt a number. you can call the pay phone
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time
If I dont pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more
If I dont pick up, pick up. the sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil
(chorus)
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby, trying to wake up,
But this machine can only swallow money
You cant lay a patch by computer design
Its just a lot of stupid, stupid signs
Tell her,
Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding
That way shell know that its really, really, really, really me, me
(repeat chorus)
Baby, instant soup doesnt really grab me
Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial
A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some nescafe and ice,
A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of doctor seuss
(repeat chorus)
The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend
But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream
The sidewinder sleeps on his back
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her

I Want To Wake Up
I want to wake up from this dream.
All the wretchedness.
I want to scream.
Of what lessons from this could I gleen?
Trapped inside this hideious scene.
I'm raped and pillige like a peasent village.
I want to wake up from this crack up.
I'm being held like a prison lock up.
I'll never trust in the least again.
For the fine beating at these hands I cry aloud.
For what he's taken he should not be proud.
He laughs and jokes.
Like it was all in fun.
He doesn't seem to realize just what he's done.
I want to wake up, and find it gone.
To realize it was just a dream.
That I'm still whole, pure and clean

Someone Else
Sit here alone
I wonder whats the use
Im so bored Im just killing time
Can you explain to me
I just dont understand
Why my skin has wore so damn thin
I realize that its been worse before
I realize.....
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else again...
Im so tired today
I think Ill just lay down
Hibernate just for a year or so
No matter what I do the day just slips away
I need to take some time and start it all again
I realize that its been said before
Although I try I dont know whats in store
I realize.......
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else again...
I realize that is has been worse before
I realize.....
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
I have to except that
I guess Im stuck with me today
I have to wake up and be myself again

Wake Up Little Susie
Wake up little susie, wake up. wake up little susie, wake up.
The movie wasnt so hot, it didnt have much of a plot
We fell asleep, out goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
Wake up little susie, wake up little susie
What are you gonna tell your mama, what you gonna tell your pa
What are you gonna tell your friend when they say ooo la la
Wake up little susie, wake up little susie
Well I told your mama that youd be back by ten
Now susie, baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up little susie, wake up little susie, we gotta go home
Wake up little susie, wake up. wake up little susie, wake up.
The bullfrogs sound asleep, wake up little susie and weep

Wake up little susie, wake up little susie

Wake Up Dead

Its four in the morning

Said I was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed,
I know if I wake her,
Ill wake up dead

I wonder, will she find out,
About the other, other lover.

Wake up dead, and buried.

Solitude/solitaire
Lying here thinking of a place to hide
Ive got to get away
There are times like this when Im better off by myself
Stuck in a corner
Nothing more to lose, Im a goner
Im just chained by thoughts, surrounded by walls
And theyre closing in around me
Lying here waiting for the chance to run
I need to isolate
There are times like this when Id rather be left alone
Caught in a panic
Trying not to look like a manic
Got to move, got to go
Got to get out of here
Leave this all behind me
(chorus)
Solitude, solitaire
No one will ever find me there
Solitude, solitaire
Wont you give me some bread, give me some water
Solitude, solitaire
No one will ever find me there
Got to find peace of mind, clear the air
Mass confusion
Leaving me with no solution
If you find Im asleep, better leave me alone
Ill wake up when its over

Wake Up
There's people talking
They talk about me
They know my name
They think they know everything
But they don't know anything, about me
(about me...)
Give me a dance floor
Give me a DJ
Play me a record
Forget what they say
'Cause I need to go
Need to getaway, tonight
(Tonight...)
[Bridge]
I put my makeup on a Saturday night
I try to make it happen
Try to make it alright
I know i make mistakes
I'm living life day to day
Its never really easy but its okay
(It's okay, okay...)
[Chorus]
Wake up, wake up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris, maybe Tokyo
There's something going on
Anywhere I go, tonight
tonight, yeah tonight
(Tonight..)
The city's restless
It's all around me
People, emotions, sick of all the same routines
And they need to go, they need to getaway, tonight
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
People all around you everywhere that you go
People all around you, they don't really know you
Everybody's watching like its some kind of show
Everybody's watching, they don't really know you now...
(They don't really know you, They don't really know you..)
And forever...
Wake up, wake up

Wake up, wake up

Alone In Love
[Chorus:]
Swept me away
But now I'm lost in the dark
Set me on fire
But now I'm left with a spark
Alone you got beyond the haze and
I'm lost inside the maze
I guess I'm all alone in love
I look into your eyes
You turn the other way
And now I realize
It's all a game you play
I hold you in the night
And wake to find you gone
You're running out of sight
It's so hard holding on
All alone in love
[Chorus]
You haunt me in my dreams
I'm calling out your name
I watch you fade away
Your love is not the same
I figured out your style
To quickly drift apart
You held me for a while
Planned it from the start
All alone in love
[Chorus]
Sitting in the dark without you
How am I supposed to make it through the night
Slowly fall apart without you
Cry away the hours 'till the morning light
[Chorus]

Somewhere Somehow
Michael w. smith / david foster / wayne kirkpatrick / amy grant
Standing in our silence
I hear my heart beating
And if only I could choose
Id stay here with you
But hold me til the train is leaving
Somewhere down the line
After youre gone from sight
Our love will be the same
And, whispering your name,
Ill cling to you with all my might
Let me dream of you
But its true
And wake me up when this is over
Love will be there when this is over and
Chorus:
Somewhere far beyond today
I will find a way to find you
And somehow thru the lonely nights
I will leave a light in the dark
Let it lead you to my heart
Theres a love inside us
Deep down inside
That goes without saying
Dont say a word
But Ill tell you just the same
And that love will fan the flame
And that flame will warm the heart thats waiting
You are mine and Ill wait for you my love
You are mine it may take some time
Even if it takes a lifetime
Tell me youll wait

And somewhere alone
I will be praying you home
I know that somehow our love
Our love will lead me to your arms

Without You
(Keith Urban)
Oh girl you get to me
In a way I can't believe
I need you
And who knows where just friends ends
When your cross that line and love begins
In over my head and the water's turnin' blue
CHORUS
But what would I do
Without you
What would I do
Without you
Hearts never know the way
They want to go and want to stay
We need two
But in time you find the road
And though inside you know you've gotta go
The hardest part I find
Is you're all I ever knew
CHORUS
But what will I do
Without you
What will I do
Without you
I gotta break these habit chains I put on me
And be all that I can be, try and find
what I need
Memories suspend in time
All the days when you were mine
And the chance I took to move
One I thought I'd never do
CHORUS
But I made it through
Without you
I made it through
Without you
From what would I do
Without you
To I made it through
Without you, Without you

Im saying if you wanna get to heaven

Wake up
Wake up stop dreaming
Before the shutters start to groan
Well its something you said in the noon day sun
But I dont recall,

Dont try to run away

fading like a wilted flower
even in our finest hour
all the dreams you realize
are sleeping here with me tonight
hhmmmmm
words are falling off the pages
letters kept locked like birds in cages
feeling like I've lost my mind
here forever missing you
in dreams of lavish gifts we hide
but if you'd wake up near me here
you'll find that

oceans crashing on the shores of your body

Lately i've been living on the edge
I won't say that ain't true,
But who the hell are you
I don't recognize my own face or my friends.

Hey, mr. smiley
Read the writing
On the wall
Wake up, mr. smiley
Before you don't wake
Up at all, up at all
Today, i hired me a yes man
He simply agrees with everything i say
He does all my dirty deals
And feeds me my pills
As long as i'm still breathing he gets paid

Yesterday i had a conversation
With all them voices in my head
One said i was no good
One said i should quit
One said to remind myself to get myself a fix

Wake Up The Mountain
(m - kusch, l - deris)
Some people die
And even never realize
Mans growing blind
Is seeimg owly with the eyes
We think were strong
Belive we never could be wrong
But we ar fools
Because were dying by the rules
Though I cannot change the world were living in
I can always change myself
One more to count in wake up the mountain
All colours slowly turning to gray
All world is darkling wake up the mountain
And we will find it once more again
Cash and carees
Built on the countless sums of fears
All godos of life
Begin to vanish behimd tears
How do we know
Why did we choose the way we follow
Why do we hurt
Why do we hurt the ones we love
Though I cannot change the worlg were living in
I can always change myself
One more to count in wake up the mountain
All colours slowly turning to gray
All world is darkling wake up the mountain
And we will find it once more again
We made the rules and we can change them
Break down the orders one by one
We made the laws and we can break them
Break down the mountain, stone by stone by stone...
One more to count in wake up the mountain
All colours slowly turning to gray
All world is darkling wake up the mountain
And we will find it once more again

Dig This Well Deep
With one thing and another
Banged my head against the wall
Always looking over my shoulder
And it makes no sense at all
Chorus
Im going to dig this well deep
Its a promise I must keep
Im going to dig this well deep
cos I want to find water
Im going to dig this well deep
Going to sow before I reap
Im going to dig this well deep
cos I want to find water
Cynics try to hold me in the graveyard of their egos
Put my dreams out with the trashman and they left me on a plateau
Holding on and keeping strong
When you are walking on a tightrope
Holding on and keeping strong
When you are wilted down to your last last hope
See it through to a conclusion even if it leads to nowhere
Sometimes there is no solution but the water tastes as good there
