King Of New Orleans Lyrics – Better than Ezra
There's an angel on the stairs
(as if you'd even care)
When the lights go up,
and the sun has nearly gone down.
Did you see him on the street?
Did you pass him at your feet?
Did you think aloud,"how dare they
even look me in the eye'?
And he loves the girls.
And he loves the boys.
Going to make twenty dollars
before the weekends over.
So set him up,
Let him fall.
Turn him over in your hands.
God save the King of New Orleans.
Got a ticket to a show.
Going to see him take a blow.
When the drunk one said,
"Cat Sssstevens was the greatest singer!"
And did you kick him in the head?
Did you see the blood run down? Did you laugh at all when the
people walked right by and said aloud,
"You gutter punks are all the same.
"Probably make twenty dollars 'fore the weekends over."?
So set him up,
Then let him fall.
Turn him over in your hands.
God save the King of New Orleans.
Radio in my head.
Radio in that car.
Going down again,
he's going down again....
Anyway you look, anyway you talk it over.
It's easier to let it slip out of your mind.
But it rips your heart out.
Then it kicks your head in.
Just give him one more chance,
try to see the beauty in his world.
All the way in on my hands, in on my feet,
and shoulders. Going to make twenty dollars
before the weekends over.
So set him up,
Then let him fall.
Turn him over in your hands.
God save the King of New Orleans.
God save the King of New Orleans.
(as if you'd even care)
When the lights go up,
and the sun has nearly gone down.
Did you see him on the street?
Did you pass him at your feet?
Did you think aloud,"how dare they
even look me in the eye'?
And he loves the girls.
And he loves the boys.
Going to make twenty dollars
before the weekends over.
So set him up,
Let him fall.
Turn him over in your hands.
God save the King of New Orleans.
Got a ticket to a show.
Going to see him take a blow.
When the drunk one said,

And did you kick him in the head?

Rewind Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Cut a tape of my favorite songs
Said what I can't face to face
I hoped that you would share all my thoughts
We are young and unimpressed, with all you'd recognize.
So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind
In my car we are superstars
Run your lipstick down your chin
While up ahead we saw such a crash
Right there a song became a soundtrack for this space in time.
So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind
Wonder is often lost
Jaded at such a cost
Time undermines you when you close your eyes.
We pass right by you.
So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind.
Said what I can't face to face
I hoped that you would share all my thoughts
We are young and unimpressed, with all you'd recognize.
So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind
In my car we are superstars
Run your lipstick down your chin
While up ahead we saw such a crash
Right there a song became a soundtrack for this space in time.
So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind
Wonder is often lost
Jaded at such a cost
Time undermines you when you close your eyes.
We pass right by you.
So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind.
Long Lost Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Are you lost?
Do you find life turning out
Not quite the way you planned?
Come around stay awhile
That's OK That's Alright
Couldn't get to sleep so talk about it.
Let's talk about it right now.
Here it comes on my head again
I guess I'm born to be the long lost friend.
Long Lost Friend
Are you cold?
Is there no place better, safer, friendlier than this?
Call me up, I'm alone.
That's ok, That's Alright
Rather it be me than go without it.
So don't think about it right now.
Here it comes on my head again
I guess I'm born to be the long lost friend.
Long lost friend
I've given ballast
Held you up when you were failing down
What happens when I'm not around?
Friend?
Friend?
Long Lost Friend
Do you find life turning out
Not quite the way you planned?
Come around stay awhile
That's OK That's Alright
Couldn't get to sleep so talk about it.
Let's talk about it right now.
Here it comes on my head again
I guess I'm born to be the long lost friend.
Long Lost Friend
Are you cold?
Is there no place better, safer, friendlier than this?
Call me up, I'm alone.
That's ok, That's Alright
Rather it be me than go without it.
So don't think about it right now.
Here it comes on my head again
I guess I'm born to be the long lost friend.
Long lost friend
I've given ballast
Held you up when you were failing down
What happens when I'm not around?
Friend?

Normal Town Lyrics – Better than Ezra
I still remember you dressed in grey.
Working undercover for the CIA
You were cursing Silber living in Back Bay
Sailing on the Charles when I heard you say
Let's go down to Normal Town
Right now
Down,Down,down
I washed you lover and scrubbed your face
Running from Miss Porter's you showed up one day
From a flat in South End where you made me strong
You said, "We're burning out at both ends."
So I came along.
Let's go down to Normal Town
Right now
Down,down,down
Hey! Wouldn't it be great to never worry about your future never asking why?
Hey! Hey? In a subdivision watching television and our lives go by.
Let's go down to Normal Town. Let's go down to Normal Town. Right now
Down,down,down ....

Scared Are You? Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Strong hands
Big plans
All reduced to this.
Hard won Freedom
How could you have missed?
Scared, are you?
You do it on your own
You do it all alone.
We all did.
Scared, are you?
Half the lines we make up dear
The best that you can do
Everything you would be
Passed you like a ghost.
And kind words are scarce at best
When you need them most.
Scared, are you?
You do it on your own
We all did.
Scared, are you?
Half the lines you make up here.
The best that we can do.
Hope brings you luck
Doors open up.
And if you should fall,
I'll catch you dear.
It must be!
It must be!
Scared, are you?
Finally on' your own
You do it all alone
We all did
Scared, are you?
Half the lines you make up dear.
The best that we can do
And we do
Big plans
All reduced to this.
Hard won Freedom
How could you have missed?
Scared, are you?
You do it on your own
You do it all alone.
We all did.
Scared, are you?
Half the lines we make up dear
The best that you can do
Everything you would be
Passed you like a ghost.
And kind words are scarce at best
When you need them most.
Scared, are you?
You do it on your own
We all did.
Scared, are you?
Half the lines you make up here.
The best that we can do.
Hope brings you luck
Doors open up.
And if you should fall,
I'll catch you dear.
It must be!
It must be!
Scared, are you?
Finally on' your own
You do it all alone
We all did
Scared, are you?
Half the lines you make up dear.
The best that we can do
And we do
Return Of The Post Moderns Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Ten cent lovers
beneath the covers
Riding on a wet dream Silver tonic free
High stool sweet tarts
Equipped with green cards
Chomp their 401 k's
Semi-chocolate brie
Digging in Los Cruces
for an army drab container
Carbon dating clothes for the last time they were washed
Shelby and Sheila
Onomatopoeia
Catch hang nail on Banlon
Shiver Martin Sheen
Preschool mothers
in Technicolor
Are fire bombing Dresden
Stanton, Harry Dean
Feeding line caught tuna to a neutered Bodhisattva
Writhing peaches for the President
Out on the White House lawn Beating Herbert Hoover
With a leather tipped Pinada Thorn and Katy drink the milk tinted
Amerasian Green RETURN, RETURN, RETURN

Riding on a wet dream Silver tonic free

Hung The Moon Lyrics – Better than Ezra
They say you're off (a bit confused)
But when the day is done
I'll be with you
I like your eyes
They say you're true
The others whisper and lie
And you framed the sun
Shot out the stars
You paled the sky
And hung the moon
They say "your loss"
That your mind's diseased
But when you finally won,
Tell me who always believed
[Chorus:]
Down way low
They never remember
Down way low
Down way low
You always remember
Don't let the words you hear leave your head.
They say you're gone
That you left today
But if you change your mind
Know I still feel the same way
[Chorus:]
But when the day is done
I'll be with you
I like your eyes
They say you're true
The others whisper and lie
And you framed the sun
Shot out the stars
You paled the sky
And hung the moon
They say "your loss"
That your mind's diseased
But when you finally won,
Tell me who always believed
[Chorus:]
Down way low
They never remember
Down way low
Down way low
You always remember
Don't let the words you hear leave your head.
They say you're gone
That you left today
But if you change your mind
Know I still feel the same way
[Chorus:]
Desperately Wanting Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Past the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out your lights
Though they say you'll never know
I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
When they pumped out your guts
And filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
They turn you on again.
[Chorus:]
Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
And if they bring up your name
Well they'll say you won the war.
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
Oh the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you'll never know.
Take back your life and let me inside
We'll find the door if you care to anymore.
I remember running through the wet grass
and falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately Wanting.
That you never called home
Where they turned out your lights
Though they say you'll never know
I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
When they pumped out your guts
And filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
They turn you on again.
[Chorus:]
Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
And if they bring up your name
Well they'll say you won the war.
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
Oh the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you'll never know.
Take back your life and let me inside
We'll find the door if you care to anymore.
I remember running through the wet grass
and falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately Wanting.
Still Life With Cooley Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Everybody talking saying you will be walking
This neighborhood will never be the same
You said we'd understand.
You found out what's happening now.
So we all sat down and you broke the news.
Now Daddy don't love her anymore.
It's still life with Cooley
Now Daddy don't love her anymore.
It's just still life with Coolly.
All your friends show on time.
They come in bringing red wine.
You said if it's over then we'll go in style.
You better best take care keep one hand to your ear
So you're not left hanging when they're finally gone.
[Chorus:]
Watcha' saying?
You're going to stay of at St. Madigan's?
(reeled in again)
You're just fooling around fooling around
People hanging with their good friends
Listening to those old songs.
Now Daddy don't love her anymore.
It's still life with Cooley
Now Daddy don't love her anymore.
It's just still life
It's just still life with Cooley.
This neighborhood will never be the same
You said we'd understand.
You found out what's happening now.
So we all sat down and you broke the news.
Now Daddy don't love her anymore.
It's still life with Cooley
Now Daddy don't love her anymore.

WWOZ Lyrics – Better than Ezra
WWOZ is on in stereo
A string of flowers haloed around your head
Candle light
Ceiling fan
Curtains blow away and back again
Back again
Don't wake me, I think I'm in a dream
Sleeping is easy
I used to lay in bed for hours
I've waited a lifetime now maybe I'll learn
Calling back and forth through heavy air
The barges sound their warnings in the dark
Peace comes like a trusted friend
As it starts to rain again fall away
Fall away
So don't wake me I think, I'm in a dream
Now sleeping is easy
I used to lay in bed for hours
I've waited a lifetime now maybe I'll learn
Sleeping is easy
I used to walk the streets for hours.
I've waited a lifetime now maybe I'll learn
Let go of you fear, let's grow old together
Find a place along the way
Let's reel through the years
Each makes the other better.
But what thoughts can I call allies
when this circle of ribs keeps working on its own?
[Chorus:]
WWOZ's on in stereo. Well it's on in stereo.
A string of flowers haloed around your head
Candle light
Ceiling fan
Curtains blow away and back again
Back again
Don't wake me, I think I'm in a dream
Sleeping is easy
I used to lay in bed for hours
I've waited a lifetime now maybe I'll learn
Calling back and forth through heavy air
The barges sound their warnings in the dark
Peace comes like a trusted friend
As it starts to rain again fall away
Fall away
So don't wake me I think, I'm in a dream
Now sleeping is easy
I used to lay in bed for hours
I've waited a lifetime now maybe I'll learn
Sleeping is easy
I used to walk the streets for hours.
I've waited a lifetime now maybe I'll learn
Let go of you fear, let's grow old together
Find a place along the way
Let's reel through the years
Each makes the other better.
But what thoughts can I call allies
when this circle of ribs keeps working on its own?
[Chorus:]
WWOZ's on in stereo. Well it's on in stereo.
Happy Endings Lyrics – Better than Ezra
And though you will say I'm wrong.
It's much easier with you along.
Sundays were made for this.
Seeing Bond give the villain a kiss ....
Holding your face in the glow
Play on, play on
Happy endings
I thought that you'd like to know.
I'm finally letting her go.
You always said, "Tell me when
You're ready at last to begin."
Learning to chance it again.
Play on, play on
Happy endings
So let them all dissolve
And welcome a new resolve
Here's where the credits run.
Riding off into the sun
And love is real
Reading your eyes in the glow
Play on, play on
Happy endings
It's much easier with you along.
Sundays were made for this.
Seeing Bond give the villain a kiss ....
Holding your face in the glow
Play on, play on
Happy endings
I thought that you'd like to know.
I'm finally letting her go.
You always said, "Tell me when
You're ready at last to begin."
Learning to chance it again.
Play on, play on
Happy endings
So let them all dissolve
And welcome a new resolve
Here's where the credits run.
Riding off into the sun
And love is real
Reading your eyes in the glow
Play on, play on

Speeding Up To Slow Down lyrics - better than ezra
If they calm you down,
Then excite them
If they call you out,
Then ignore them.
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down
When they all believe
You reject it.
When they all are for,
Be against it.
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down
If they call you out
They-will tear you down
When your world falls in
Then they'll leave you dry
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down
Down,down,down
Then excite them
If they call you out,
Then ignore them.
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down
When they all believe
You reject it.
When they all are for,
Be against it.
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down
If they call you out
They-will tear you down
When your world falls in
Then they'll leave you dry
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down
Down,down,down
In The Blood Lyrics – Better than Ezra
How can you be so warm?
How can you know what I feel?
Well, it's the way you move your hands,
and it's the way you understand.
[CHORUS:]
And that's the reason that I'm asking.
That's the reason that I want to know.
And that's the reason that I'm asking,
and that's the reason that I'm...
How can you throw everything you live for?
Well, it's the way we shake and sway.
Oh, and it's the passion that you play.

And that's the reason that I'm asking.
That's the reason that I want to know.
And that's the reason that I'm asking,
and that's the reason that I'm...

Too many lost.
Links in a chain passed down through the years,
But ending here, if we just face the pain and the fear.
Who did you love before?
Who did they love before you?
But it's the way you move your hands
And it's the way you understand.
[CHORUS:]
And that's the reason that I'm asking.
That's the reason that I want to know.

Good Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Looking around the house.
Hidden behind the window and the door.
Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home.
Well, maybe I'm just too sure.
Maybe I'm just too frightened
by the sound of it.
Pieces of note fall down, but the letter said,
[CHORUS:]
Aha, it was good living with you.
Aha, it was good.
Aha, it was good living with you.
Aha, it was good.
Sitting around the house,
watching the sun trace shadows on the floor.
Searching for signs of life, but there's nobody home.
Well, maybe I'll call
or write you a letter.
Now, maybe we'll see on the Fourth of July.
But I'm not too sure, and I'm not too proud.
Well, I'm not too sure and I'm not too proud to say.
[CHORUS:]
Aha, it was good living with you.
Aha, it was good.
Aha, it was good living with you.
Aha, it was good.
[spoken:]
Yeah, you were so good.yeah you were so good, yeah that's right...
Hidden behind the window and the door.
Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home.
Well, maybe I'm just too sure.
Maybe I'm just too frightened
by the sound of it.
Pieces of note fall down, but the letter said,

Aha, it was good living with you.
Aha, it was good.

Southern Gurl Lyrics – Better than Ezra
There she is.
White light,
descending like the color of rain.
July or fall,
one thing will never change.
Down and out,
you found this city has you on your back.
You long for her to take you away.
And I...
[CHORUS:]
I want a Southern Girl, I need a Southern Girl.
Well, I want a Southern Girl.
Hey, yes, I want a Southern Girl and I need a Southern Girl.
And I want a Southern Girl.
Scent of pine drifting by.
Her hand traces lazy on your neck.
Sunlight through the trees
recalls a better time.
Kids and dogs running by,
She smiles as she drinks ice tea,
Retire to the room, it's easy to see.
[CHORUS:]
I want a Southern Girl, I need a Southern Girl.
Well, I want a Southern Girl.
Hey, yes, I want a Southern Girl and I need a Southern Girl.
And I want a Southern Girl.
Take back the night, claim your desire.
Run 'til you crawl.
In the morning you will find her there.
[CHORUS:]
I want a Southern Girl, I need a Southern Girl.
Well, I want a Southern Girl.
Hey, yes, I want a Southern Girl and I need a Southern Girl.
And I want a Southern Girl.
I want a Southern Girl
White light,
descending like the color of rain.
July or fall,
one thing will never change.
Down and out,
you found this city has you on your back.
You long for her to take you away.
And I...
[CHORUS:]
I want a Southern Girl, I need a Southern Girl.
Well, I want a Southern Girl.
Hey, yes, I want a Southern Girl and I need a Southern Girl.
And I want a Southern Girl.
Scent of pine drifting by.
Her hand traces lazy on your neck.
Sunlight through the trees
recalls a better time.
Kids and dogs running by,
She smiles as she drinks ice tea,
Retire to the room, it's easy to see.

The Killer Inside Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Well, she believes that I'd be better off without her.
And she believes in me.
Well, she believes that time can make things right.
And I want to believe that there's been a change in me.
[Chorus:]
And I hope that she believes.
Yes, I wonder if she sees the killer inside me.
The lights go down
And the clouds are building outside.
You close the door and turn the key,
But there's no place to hide.
[Chorus:]
And I hope that she believes.
Yes, I wonder if she sees the killer inside me.
The killer inside me.
The killer inside me.
The killer inside...
And she believes in me.
Well, she believes that time can make things right.
And I want to believe that there's been a change in me.
[Chorus:]
And I hope that she believes.
Yes, I wonder if she sees the killer inside me.
The lights go down
And the clouds are building outside.
You close the door and turn the key,
But there's no place to hide.
[Chorus:]
And I hope that she believes.
Yes, I wonder if she sees the killer inside me.
The killer inside me.
The killer inside me.
The killer inside...
Rosealia Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Where have you gone, my Rosealia?
Into the crowd, he'll never find you.
If you walk real fast, and you stay down low.
So many times, so many chances, this one could be your last.
[Chorus:]
You say no, no, no, the fighting has left you tired.
You say no, no, no, but the fighting goes on.
Put on your mask, wearing your cape.
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.
Put on your mask, wearing your cape.
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.
What has he done, my senorita?
His kind of love is going to kill you.
Do you fake a smile when you dodge the blows?
So many times, so many chances.
This one could be your last.
[Chorus:]
You say no, no, no, the fighting has left you tired.
You say no, no, no, but the fighting goes on.
Put on your mask, wearing your cape.
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.
Put on your mask, wearing your cape.
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.
[BRIDGE:]
Jealousy can rip your heart out.
And jealousy can turn a hand into a fist.
[Chorus:]
You say no, no, no, the fighting has left you tired.
You say no, no, no, but the fighting goes on.
Put on your mask, wearing your cape.
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.
Put on your mask, wearing your cape.
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.
Rosealia...
Into the crowd, he'll never find you.
If you walk real fast, and you stay down low.
So many times, so many chances, this one could be your last.
[Chorus:]
You say no, no, no, the fighting has left you tired.
You say no, no, no, but the fighting goes on.
Put on your mask, wearing your cape.
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.
Put on your mask, wearing your cape.
Put on your mask, my Rosealia.
What has he done, my senorita?
His kind of love is going to kill you.
Do you fake a smile when you dodge the blows?
So many times, so many chances.
This one could be your last.

Cry In The Sun Lyrics – Better than Ezra
You cleaned out your room and under your bed,
lay a picture long forgotten.
With a hand to your head,
you sigh out loud as your memory rushes over and
buries you.
A summer rain storm,
but the shed was dry
with a girl from Carolina.
And you held her so tight,
for the warmth that the rain denied,
as the timer slowed to a flash.
So alive, you listen to them when they say...
[To Chorus:]
Cry in the sun.
When the devil beats his wife.
If you cry, cry, cry in the sun...
Hope I never see the price of my freedom.
We'd dance and sing out,
and trace the moon,
as it crawled across the night sky.
And covered in dew, a lover's pact:
Well, here's to now and don't look back.
And oh, how I tried to heed the words written here.
[To Chorus:]
Cry in the sun.
When the devil beats his wife.
If you cry, cry, cry in the sun...
Hope I never see the price of my freedom.
[BRIDGE:]
For every one yeah
There's a person, place or time,
that brings you back and makes you feel alive.
Before your reason clouds your eyes,
When you could rule the world if you wanted to...
yeah.
Well, I hear you're living far away.
And that life's treated you well.
You know that we were young,
And this picture's old.
But I still can hear you say,
Through the pounding of the rain.
And oh, if you try,
Tell me, can you hear them say...
[To Chorus:]
Cry in the sun.
When the devil beats his wife.
If you cry, cry, cry in the sun...
Hope I never see the price of my freedom.
lay a picture long forgotten.
With a hand to your head,
you sigh out loud as your memory rushes over and
buries you.
A summer rain storm,
but the shed was dry
with a girl from Carolina.
And you held her so tight,
for the warmth that the rain denied,
as the timer slowed to a flash.
So alive, you listen to them when they say...
[To Chorus:]
Cry in the sun.
When the devil beats his wife.
If you cry, cry, cry in the sun...
Hope I never see the price of my freedom.

Teenager Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Listen to them fight.
Hear your mother cry.
Weekend at your dad's.
They don't know what they do to you.
Teenager. Teenager...
Wrap yourself in black.
Listen to the Cure.
Love line won't call back.
They don't know,
they don't care,
they don't see,
but I do.
[To Chorus:]
And if it feels good do it.
And if it tastes fine drink.
Well, there's a range of possibilities to find.
Teenager. Teenager...
No one knows your name.
No one hears your cry.
Fall in with the fringe
because they know what you're going through.
They do.
[To Chorus:]
And if it feels good do it.
And if it tastes fine drink.
Well, there's a range of possibilities to find.
Teenager. Teenager...
[BRIDGE:]
No one's wrong,
no one's right.
It comes down on you.
And I have found, your life inside mine.
Hear your mother cry
Fade into the night.
When they ask you why,
They won't know, they won't feel,
They won't see,
But you will.
[To Chorus:]
And if it feels good do it.
And if it tastes fine drink.
Well, there's a range of possibilities to find.
Teenager. Teenager...
Hear your mother cry.
Weekend at your dad's.
They don't know what they do to you.

Summerhouse Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Down by the dock, hot blood in the sun.
The body lays up against the reeds.
The locals said, the man had it coming,
and it's time someone put him six feet in the ground.
[To Chorus:]
Where did she go that night?
Where did she sleep when the morning came
to the summer house?
Missus showed up to I.D. the body
Then shed a tear as she hid a smile.
The sergeant laughed and smiled in frustration.
One life is lost while another one is found.
[To Chorus:]
Where did she go that night?
Where did she sleep when the morning came
to the summer house?
The body lays up against the reeds.
The locals said, the man had it coming,

[To Chorus:]
Where did she go that night?
Where did she sleep when the morning came

Porcelain Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve to show your face around here.
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears.
Well, I wish I could shake some sense into you and walk out the door.
[To Chorus:]
But your skin is like porcelain.
Yeah, your skin is like porcelain.
Just the other day I felt I had you by a string.
Just the other day I felt we could be everything.
But now when I see you, you're somebody else.
In somebody's eyes and your skin...
[To Chorus:]
But your skin is like porcelain.
Yeah, your skin is like porcelain.
[BRIDGE:]
I don't know what I'm saying.
Well, I don't know if you're there.
In the words you are feigning.
Do you even care?
Well I wish I could kill you,
savor the sight.
Get in to my car, drive into the night.
Then lie as I scream to the heavens above.
That I was the last one you ever loved.
Yes, your skin is like porcelain.
[To Chorus:]
But your skin is like porcelain.
Yeah, your skin is like porcelain.
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears.
Well, I wish I could shake some sense into you and walk out the door.

Heaven Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Will you fight for the cause?
Can you teach the savage mind, their ways are wrong,
Help them see what they want and what they need?
And if we have to twist their arms,
They know not what they do is wrong.
[To Chorus:]
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try.
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try.
Heretics and hypocrites,
Wear the same face through the years.
Telling lies and laying blame.
Damn the fire to feed the flame.
Don't dance or sing or try to think,
They're images planted in your head.
[To Chorus:]
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try.
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try.
Ivy is just a dog
With a heart that's noble as
The greatest man who ever lived.
Won't you please help her learn?
And if we have to twist her arms,
She knows not what she does is wrong.
[To Chorus:]
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try.
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try.
And if you said I'll be a rich man...
Can you teach the savage mind, their ways are wrong,
Help them see what they want and what they need?
And if we have to twist their arms,
They know not what they do is wrong.
[To Chorus:]
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try.
And if you said I would go to heaven

This Time Of Year Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Well, there's a feeling in the air
Just like a Friday afternoon.
Yeah, you can go there if you want
Though it fades too soon.
So go on, let it be.
If there's a feeling coming over me,
Seems like it's always understood this time of year.
[To Chorus:]
Well, I know there's a reason to change.
Well, I know there's a time for us.
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad.
You can feel it in the air,
Feeling right this time of year.
Well, there's a football in the air,
Across a leaf blown field.
Yeah, and there's your first car on the road,
And the girl you'd steal.
So go on with yourself
If there's a feeling that there's something else.
Seems like it's always understood
This time of year.
[To Chorus:]
Well, I know there's a reason to change.
Well, I know there's a time for us.
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad.
You can feel it in the air,

Coyote lyrics - better than ezra
Heading out, your heart beating in your head.
Riding on the Texas wind.
Raise your feet as you cross the state line.
Waking up, the mesa, sun, and the sky.
All the way to Tucumcari, and Santa Fe seems
a stone's throw away.
[To Chorus:]
Coyote.
Coming down, the Phoenix sun on your face.
Turns it red by the afternoon.
And to the right, the Grand Canyon is wide.
Sing along, the Needle skips in the wind.
Count the stars of Death Valley.
And in the dark, Barstow starts to fade.
[To Chorus:]
Coyote.
Riding on the Texas wind.
Raise your feet as you cross the state line.

All the way to Tucumcari, and Santa Fe seems

Coyote.
Coming down, the Phoenix sun on your face.

And in the dark, Barstow starts to fade.
