Lyrically Speaking # 3

[Siren]

from "Firecracker" by Josh Turner

When I light the fuse, I gotta get back quick
You gotta be CAREFUL with a DYNAMITE stick
Son of a gun, she's fun to handle
And she packs a punch like a Roman candle

She's a pack of black cats in a red paper wrapper
My little darlin' is a firecracker

next: careful

Think ~ Aretha
…..
You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

……

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walking around every day, playing games that they can score
And I ain't gonna be the loser my way, ah, be careful you don't lose yours

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Price To Play ~ Staind

There are no rules
No one to blame
The price to play the game

next word : BLAME

[Phalon]

from "It's Been Awhile" by Staind

And everything I can't remember
As f****ed up as it all may seem to be
I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry

next word: sorry

[stepper]

I'm Sorry - Brenda Lee

(I'm sorry) I'm sorry
(So sorry) So sorry
Please accept my apology
But love is blind
And I was too blind to see

Next: Apology

[Phalon]

from "Innocence" by Disturbed

A child victimized
The crime politicized
For the councilor's gain
The rabid media congregates
His tortured memories
The pervert's fantasies
Is the world insane?
A parasitic devastation seen
On your TV screen
Your corruption is like a cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You face your judgment another day
And suffer eternally

next word: crime

[stepper]

Queen of Hearts - Juice Newton

Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowin' it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
'Cos that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you

Next: Joker

[Phalon]

from "Stuck in the Middle with You" by Stealers Wheel

Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain’t right.
I’m so scared in case I'll fall off my chair,
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

next word: middle

[stepper]

Because of You - Kelly Clarkson

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Next: Empty

[scamp]

Running on Empty ~ Jackson Browne

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

Running on, running on empty
Running on, running blind
Running on, running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on


next word: confuse

[Phalon]

from "Right in Two" by Tool

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Jig-Saw Puzzle – The Rolling Stones
Lying on the floor
I'm just trying to do my jig-saw puzzle

Next: floor

[fallenangel]

Hiding Under Water ~ Beth Hart


You say you got a feeling
You figured out, the writing on the wall
And angels on the ceiling
Don't calm you when you call
You found your own religion
And searched your heart for something more
Stood naked in the kitchen
Trying to wipe yourself off of the floor


next word: ANGELS

[Phalon]

from "Like a Stone" by Audioslave

And on my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

next word: wine

[stepper]

Days Of Wine and Roses - Frank Sinatra

The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through a meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before

The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you

Next: Closing/close

[Phalon]

from "Evolution" by KoRn

Close up to get a real good view
I'm betting that the species will survive
Hold tight, I'm getting inside you
Evolution
And when were gonna find these bones
They're gonna want to keep them in a jar
The number one virus caused by
Procreation

next word: bone(s)

[stepper]

(Sitting on) The Dock of the Bay – Otis Redding

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone

[Siren]

from "Goodbye Again" by John Denver

It seems a SHAME to LEAVE you now,
You lay so soft and warm
I long to lay me down again, to hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away, and give you back your smile
But other voices beckon me, so for a little while

It's goodbye again,
I'm sorry to be leaving you
It's goodbye again, as if you didn't know
It's goodbye again,
And I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go

next: shame

[Phalon]

from "Easier to Run" by Linkin Park

If I could change, I would, take back the pain, I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made, I would
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave, I would

next word: blame

[stepper]

Put The Blame On Mame, Rita Hayworth

When they had the earthquake in San Francisco
Back in nineteen-six
They said that Mother Nature
Was up to her old tricks
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
One night she started to shim and shake
That brought on the Frisco quake
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame

Next: Shake

[Phalon]

from "Innocence" by Disturbed

Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
Presumed innocent
Justice fails again
In the masquerade
Has the whole world become insane?

next word: innocent

[stepper]

Angel – Fleetwood Mac

Sometimes, the most beautiful things,
the most innocent things.
And many of those dreams, pass us by.
Keep passing me by.

You feel good,
I said it's funny that you understood.
I knew you would;
when you were good, you were very, very good.

So I close my eyes softly,
'till i become that part of the wind
that we all long for sometime, yeah.
And to those that I love, like a ghost through a fog
- like a charmed hour and a haunted song,
and the angel of my dreams.
Angel of my dreams.

Next: Fog

[Siren]

from "When I'm Gone" by Joey + Rory

A BRIGHT sunrise will contradict the heavy FOG that weighs you down
In spite of all the funeral songs, the birds will make their joyful sounds

You'll wonder why the Earth still moves.
You'll wonder how you'll carry on.

But you'll be okay on that first day when I'm gone

next: bright

[Phalon]

from "If Not Now, When?" by Incubus

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes
It's time

next word: hide

[stepper]

Lyin’ Eyes – The Eagles
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

Next: Thin

[Phalon]

from "Sons of Plunder" by Disturbed

I'm still surrounded by the new sound
I've had enough and I'm ready to go
I'll stranglehold throughout the world now
The new obsession will fade in time
A thin reminder of the past now.
All convoluted hardly ready to go
Their whines and moans will never last now
I think you've given us a fill this time

next word: surround(ed)

[stepper]

Halo – Florence and the Machine

I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace

Next: Awaken(ed)

[Phalon]

from "Breach Birth" by Chevelle

Feel locked in a room,
And starting to choke.
Enticing the shame.
Awaken a world, our own...

Pop it, lock it, polka dot it
Country fivin', hip hop hip
Put your arms in the sky, move side to side
Jump to the left, stick it, glide

from "Nothin' Song" by Alice in Chains

Well, the nothin' song sticks to your mouth
Like peanut butter on the brain
Nothin' ever stays the same
Nothin', yeah nothin', nothin', nothin'.
