    Nobody Knows

    Johnny’s got high expectations
    He’s going to rise
    Everyone knows that Johnny is ready
    He’s ready to fly
    Up on the rooftop he turns to the crowd
    No one is waiting
    Because no one is there

    Nobody knows why Elvis threw it all away
    Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide
    Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts
    And some of us find a world that’s clear and bright
    You could be packed up and ready
    Knowing exactly where to go
    How come you miss the connection?
    No use in asking
    The answer is nobody knows
    No use in asking
    The answer is nobody knows

    Johnny will keep his illusions
    What else can he do?
    And you can pretend that it would be different
    If it happened to you
    But up on the rooftop it’s a whole other world
    And who could see heaven and not want to stay?

    Nobody knows why Elvis threw it all away
    Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide
    Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts
    And some of us find a world that’s clear and bright
    You could be packed up and ready
    Knowing exactly where to go
    How come you miss the connection?
    No use in asking
    The answer is nobody knows
    No use in asking
    The answer is nobody knows
    The answer is nobody knows

    O My O My
    What a wretched life
    I was born on the day
    That my poor mother died
    I was cut from her belly
    With a stanley knife
    My daddy did a jig
    With the drunk midwife

    Who’s that yonder all in flames
    Dragging behind him a sack of chains
    Who’s that yonder all in flames
    Up jumped the Devil and he staked his claim

    O poor heart
    I was doomed from the start
    Doomed to play
    The villians part
    I was the baddest Johnny
    In the apple cart
    My blood was blacker
    Than the chambers of a dead nun’s heart

    Who’s that milling on the courthouse steps
    Nailing my face to the hitching fence
    Who’s that milling on the courthouse steps
    Up jumped the Devil and off we crept

    O no O no
    Where could I go
    With my hump of trouble
    And my sack of woe
    To the digs and deserts of Mexico
    Where my neck was safe from the lynching rope

    Who’s that yonder laughing at me
    Like I was the brunt of some hilarity
    Who’s that yonder laughing at me
    Up jumped the Devil 1, 2, 3

    Ha-Ha Ha Ha
    How lucky we were
    We hit the cathouse
    And sampled their whares
    We got as drunk
    As a couple of Czars
    One night I swallowed
    My lucky star

    Who’s that dancing on the jailhouse roof
    Stamping on the ramping with a cloven hoof
    Who’s that dancing on the jailhouse roof
    Up jumped the Devil and said “Here is your man and I got proof”

    no don’t go O no
    O slow down Joe
    The righteous part
    I straight as an arrow
    Take a walk
    And you’ll find it too narrow
    Too narrow for the likes of me

    Who’s that hanging from the gallow tree
    His eyes are hollow but he looks like me
    Who’s that swinging from the gallow tree
    Up jumped the Devil and took my soul from me

    Down we go Down we go Down we go
    The Devil and me Down we go down down down
    Hell fire and flames Down we go Down we go
    To Eternity Down we go We go down down down
    Down we go we go down down down
    Down we go the Devil and me to Eternity
    We go down down down down down ad inferno

    :lol:

    You’ve got your
    Hell’s teeth
    smiling at you.
    It keeps your brain safe,
    as it all eats at your face…
    And don’t worry,
    we’ll ‘blur it out’
    and no one
    ever will know,
    oh
    no, oh oh oh
    This is my beautiful show
    and everything is shot
    in slo-motion
    This is my beautiful show
    and everything is shot
    in slo-motion
    SLO-MO-TION
    Pump in the laughter
    of dead-audience applause
    and TEENAGE RAPE candidates
    I think we got ourselves
    a ‘real hit’
    Don’t we wish
    that we could feel something
    more than
    hate and morbid panic
    morbid panic
    hate and morbid panic
    This is my beautiful show
    and everything is shot
    in slo-motion
    This is my beautiful show
    and everything is shot

    SLO-MO-TION
    I’m the host with Vaseline
    I hide behind bulletproof glass
    and I can feel your ****
    with my brand new camera
    (equipped with a flash)
    fast-food-nude
    I hate you all
    but somehow
    you find me…
    incredibly charming
    This is my beautiful show
    and everything is shot
    in slo-motion
    (incredibly charming)

    No One Is To Blame

    You can look at the menu
    But you just can’t eat
    You can feel the cushions
    But you can’t have a seat
    You can dip your foot in the pool
    But you can’t have a swim
    You can feel the punishment
    But you can’t commit the sin

    And you want her
    And she wants you
    We want everyone

    And you want her
    And she wants you
    No one
    No one
    No one ever..
    Is to blame

    You can build a mansion
    But you just can’t live in it
    You’re the fastest runner
    But you’re not allowed to win
    Some break the rules
    And live to count the cost
    The insecurity is the thing that won’t get lost

    And you want her
    And she wants you
    We want everyone

    And you want her
    And she wants you
    No one
    No one
    No one ever..
    Is to blame

    You can see the summit
    But you can’t reach it
    It’s the last piece of the puzzle
    But you just can’t make it fit
    Doctor says you’re cured
    But you still feel the pain
    Aspirations in the clouds
    But your hopes go down the drain

    And you want her
    And she wants you
    We want everyone

    And you want her
    And she wants you
    No one
    No one
    No one ever..
    Is to blame

    No one ever..
    Is to blame

    No One Ever..

    Is

    To

    Blame

    Somewhere Out There

    Somewhere out there,
    Beneath the pale moonlight,
    Someone’s thinking of me,
    And loving me tonight.

    Somewhere out there,
    Someone’s saying a prayer,
    That we’ll find one another,
    In that big somewhere out there.

    And even though I know how very far apart we are,
    It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star,
    And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,
    It helps to think we’re sleeping underneath the same big sky!

    Somewhere out there,
    If love can see us through,
    Then we’ll be together,
    Somewhere out there,
    Out where dreams
    Come true…

    These arms of mine they are lonely
    Lonely and feeling blue, these arms of mine
    They are yearning, yearning from wanting you

    And if you would let them hold you
    Oh, how grateful I will be

    These arms of mine they are burning
    Burning from wanting you, these arms of mine
    They are wanting, wanting to hold you

    And if you would let them hold you
    Oh, how grateful I will be

    Come on now, baby
    Come on, come on baby, now
    Just be my little woman, just be my lover
    Oh, I need your warmth
    I need your loving arms to hold me tight

    Love, love is a verb
    Love is a doing word
    Fearless on my breath
    Gentle impulsion
    Shakes me, makes me lighter
    Fearless on my breath

    Teardrop on the fire
    Fearless on my breath

    Nine night of matter
    Black flowers blossom
    Fearless on my breath
    Black flowers blossom
    Fearless on my breath

    Teardrop on the fire
    Fearless on my…

    Water is my eye
    Most faithful mirror
    Fearless on my breath
    Teardrop on the fire
    Of a confession
    Fearless on my breath
    Most faithful mirror
    Fearless on my breath

    Teardrop on the fire
    Fearless on my breath

    You’re stumbling down
    You’re stumbling down

    Within you without you

    We were talking – about the space between us all
    And the people – who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
    Never glimpse the truth – then it’s far too late when they pass away

    We were talking – about the love we all could share
    When we find it – to try our best to hold it there – with our love
    With our love we could save the world – if they only knew
    Try to realise it’s all within yourself – no-one else can make you change
    And to see you’re really only very small
    And life flows on within you and without you.

    We were talking – about the love that’s gone so cold
    And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
    They don’t know, they can’t see – are you one of them ?

    When you’ve seen beyond yourself
    Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
    And the time will come when you see we’re all one
    And life flows on within you and without you.
