Absolutely Still Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
This Grey room,
This bunker,
The air is humming
Us to sleep
While outside,
The city hurries;
The endless worries
Are out of reach
Promise me we'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that i never want to kill
Absolutely still
We were running
From the same noise,
We were stuck in
The same pursuit
Now the door's locked
And I find that
The dizzy madness
Is bleeding through
Promise me you'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
Absolutely still
Promise me you'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
Absolutely still
I'll go anywhere you want tonight
'cause my head is spinning like a satellite
I got a restless feeling that I never want to fill
I'm absolutely still
This bunker,
The air is humming
Us to sleep
While outside,
The city hurries;
The endless worries
Are out of reach
Promise me we'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that i never want to kill
Absolutely still
We were running
From the same noise,
We were stuck in
The same pursuit
Now the door's locked
And I find that
The dizzy madness
Is bleeding through
Promise me you'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
Absolutely still
Promise me you'll never leave this room,
A million years from now would be too soon.
The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
That every door I shut is leading me to you
And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
Absolutely still
I'll go anywhere you want tonight
'cause my head is spinning like a satellite
I got a restless feeling that I never want to fill
I'm absolutely still
Turn Up The Bright Lights Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
It's a lot like fire.
Taking that the first step on to the street.
The whole night before you, spreading out like a techno colored dream.
So take this city into your arms and hold it like a kiss.
Don't it feel like flying, darling, what could be better than this.
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight.
Shine like the stars shine above and sail away.
Turn up the bright lights....
On a Paris morning, long before the sun was debt to rise.
Walking on the river, reflecting diamonds in your eyes.
So take this city and catch your breath, and listen to yourself.
Cause you move like music, darlin' in a moment you'll be gone.
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight shine like the stars shine.
Turn on the mystery
Taking that the first step on to the street.
The whole night before you, spreading out like a techno colored dream.
So take this city into your arms and hold it like a kiss.
Don't it feel like flying, darling, what could be better than this.
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight.
Shine like the stars shine above and sail away.
Turn up the bright lights....
On a Paris morning, long before the sun was debt to rise.
Walking on the river, reflecting diamonds in your eyes.
So take this city and catch your breath, and listen to yourself.
Cause you move like music, darlin' in a moment you'll be gone.
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight shine like the stars shine.
Turn on the mystery
Just One Day Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
If you could change the choices that you made,
Would you do it- today?
If you could spin the world the other way,
Could you do it on faith?
If time would stand still,
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day?
How would it feel if every dream came real?
And all the scars you have fade away
For just one day
Imagine all the times you that could take back
What would you have done differently?
Thoughts in your head you never said
Or a heart that you broke and left for dead
If all the pain you had could be released
How life flies by.
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would if feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade away?
For just one day
And the night
All the good times and the fights
All the take and the give
All the moments that we never got to live
Ohhh.....
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would it feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade a way
[Repeat]
For just one day [x2]
If you could change the choices that you made,
Would you do it- today?
Would you do it- today?
If you could spin the world the other way,
Could you do it on faith?
If time would stand still,
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day?
How would it feel if every dream came real?
And all the scars you have fade away
For just one day
Imagine all the times you that could take back
What would you have done differently?
Thoughts in your head you never said
Or a heart that you broke and left for dead
If all the pain you had could be released
How life flies by.
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would if feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade away?
For just one day
And the night
All the good times and the fights
All the take and the give
All the moments that we never got to live
Ohhh.....
What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would it feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade a way
[Repeat]
For just one day [x2]
If you could change the choices that you made,
Would you do it- today?
The Loveless Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Tell me I'm wrong, you sense a little bit of change.
You knew all along there'd come a day you'd have to face.
I hear a loud voice in my head, for all the things I never said.
So tell me who's gonna love me loveless, who's gonna love me loveless,
Who gonna love me loveless?
When your gone.
What can I say, you pick this wreck up off the ground.
You knew all along there'd come a day you'd have to face.
I hear a loud voice in my head, for all the things I never said.
So tell me who's gonna love me loveless, who's gonna love me loveless,
Who gonna love me loveless?
When your gone.
What can I say, you pick this wreck up off the ground.
All In Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
[Chorus]
All in, All in
You got me all in
Crank the music up
Let it never end
All in, All in
You got me all in
Til the sun come up
And we start again.

Peter likes Paul
She caught em making out
In the cubicle
She ran and told her girlfriend
To cause a bit of fuss
Then she took another hit
On the pixie dust.
[Chorus]
We're banging on the ceiling
We jumping on the floor
A very angry neighbor
Breaking down the door
Everyone is quiet
As he begins to shout
But we say "easy man
We can work it out".
[Chorus]
Are you having a good time
I said are you having a good time
Tell it to your mother
The moral to the story
There isn't really one
The bottom of the line
Is to have a bit of fun
[Chorus]
Are you having a good time
I said are you having a good time
Tell it to your lover
Right mate, is that your mother?
[Chorus]
Til the sun come up
And we start again
Til the sun come up
And we start again
Til the sun come up
And we start again
All in, All in
You got me all in
Crank the music up
Let it never end
All in, All in
You got me all in
Til the sun come up
And we start again.

Fit Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I want to stop
I want to find
I need to know
Where you go to hide
Cause I’m out of breath
My air is gone
Running with you
Being alone
Cause you really want to settle the truth
Let me be the one to offer you proof
Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only
I’m head over you
Oh how it hit me
I’m caught up and bruised
Despite all the cynical lies
I finally found a piece that fit in my life
I was adrift
out on my own
You came a long and carried me home
Cause you are a spark
A distant headlight
I can’t stop my eyes
From keeping you in sight
Cause I’m not looking for a broken excuse
But I need you now to heal all my wounds
Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only
I’m head over you
Oh how it hit me
I’m caught up and bruised
Despite all the cynical lies
I finally found a piece that fit…
Cause I made them
Faded some
Look at what I’ve become
And my eyes are drawn till you came along
The world is quite confused
You’re my only absolute
Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only
I’m head over you
Oh how it hit me
I’m caught up and bruised
Despite all the cynical lies
And Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only
I’m head over you
Oh how it hit me
I’m bound up in you
Despite all the cynical lies
I finally found a piece that fit in my life
I finally found a piece that fit in my life
Oooooh oooh ooooh
I want to find
I need to know
Where you go to hide
Cause I’m out of breath
My air is gone
Running with you
Being alone
Cause you really want to settle the truth
Let me be the one to offer you proof
Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only
I’m head over you
Oh how it hit me
I’m caught up and bruised
Despite all the cynical lies
I finally found a piece that fit in my life
I was adrift
out on my own
You came a long and carried me home
Cause you are a spark
A distant headlight
I can’t stop my eyes
From keeping you in sight
Cause I’m not looking for a broken excuse
But I need you now to heal all my wounds
Oh how you fit me
Oh how you do
You know that you only

Hell No! Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Put your ear up to the speaker
Let your jaw drop
Witness this power of suggestion
Blow the roof off
Gods of war march into battle
Make the ground shake
Crowd appears, countdown has begun
Drop the bomb, 4, 3, 2, 1
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna sit down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna shake this mother to the ground
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna back down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna put you suckers in the ground
Fourth and long,
Casualties abound
In the hot sun
Final play, pile up in the endzone
Deed is done,
Damn, glad we won.
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna sit down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna shake this mother to the ground
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna back down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna put you suckers in the ground
Man, you will never let anybody disrespect you
Hell no!
You will keep your head held high
Whether you win or you lose
Because no one will come into our house
And tell us what to do!
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna sit down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna shake this mother to the ground
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna back down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna put you suckers in the ground
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna sit down
Hell No! Y'all, Gonna shake this mother to the ground
Hell No! Y'all, We ain't gonna back down
Hell No! We ain't gonna back down.
Let your jaw drop

Hey Love Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I haven't felt you for a while
I haven't had much opportunity to smile
I see you in the eyes of couples passing by
As soulmates kiss, the innocence,
Too long I've been denied.
[Chorus]
Hey love, where you going
Hey love, how you been
I wish you'd stay a little longer
No, that's ok, I understand
Maybe another day
Hey love, old friend,
There you go again.
I found a photo and you were there
Captured in our faces
Just before you disappeared
It was nice to know you, if only for a while
To come and go with a sweet hello
And a bittersweet goodbye.
[Chorus]
I don't know where I am
I don't know
I don't know where I am
And if every new beginning
Is just another's end
Tell me love, why should i begin
Again.
[Chorus]
There you go again
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?
I haven't had much opportunity to smile
I see you in the eyes of couples passing by
As soulmates kiss, the innocence,
Too long I've been denied.
[Chorus]
Hey love, where you going
Hey love, how you been
I wish you'd stay a little longer
No, that's ok, I understand
Maybe another day
Hey love, old friend,
There you go again.
I found a photo and you were there
Captured in our faces
Just before you disappeared
It was nice to know you, if only for a while
To come and go with a sweet hello
And a bittersweet goodbye.
[Chorus]
I don't know where I am
I don't know
I don't know where I am
And if every new beginning
Is just another's end
Tell me love, why should i begin
Again.
[Chorus]
There you go again
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?
Nightclubbing Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I can be who you want me to be uh huh-ow
Take a chance on a new enemy uh huh-ow uh huh-ow
Something different than you felt before
But you'll know it when you taste it
In the absence of light it's a flash in the night
Something that you can feel but it's always burnin'
Put on your best dress and make up your face
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Get off your high horse and powder your nose
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing
There's a place out on Avenue A uh huh-ow
Where the kids got a new remedy uh huh-ow uh huh-ow
Just a little bit to leave yourself for a temporary exile
It's a shortness of breath it's a glow in your chest
Something better than real that's always turnin'
Put on your best dress and make up your face
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Get off your high horse and powder your nose
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing
Check all your hang ups and lead at the door
We're going nightclubbing we're going night clubbing
Quit all your bitchin' and get on the floor
We're going nightclubbing nightclubbing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Black Light Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I'm on, 2, 3, 4
Wanna do your best tonight
Check, check
Cold day, stuck in my head
Wargames, interstates
Restless adolescence
Presidential motorcades
You know daddy's blowing words
Made of cigarette smoke
Mommy's always down on her knees
Late night, cocktail parties
Let the children do as they please
Yeah, Earthquakes and revelries
Me and my sister burning up in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
Or really gives a damn
Me and my sister turn the black light on
Warm day, sun is shining
Ice trays, fake IDs
Stumbling towards the end of the
20th century
And it's hot enough to melt the ice caps
But you wanna make the summer stay
Sister, boyfriend calling,
Won't give me the time of day
Sometimes the guard goes down
Me and my sister burning up in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
Or really gives a damn
Black light on, turn it on
Me and my sister turn it up in the room
We got a flashlight on, got the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows enough to give a damn
Me and my sister turn the black light on
Nothing is certain, time slips away
The world may be ending
But it ain't happening today, today, today,
oh-oh-oh
Latchkeys and memories
That never fade away
Me and my sister burn it up in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
Or really gives a damn
Me and my sister turn it on, turn it on
Me and my sister getting stoned in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
that we can give a damn
Me and my sister turn it on and on and on
Black light on
Come on
Black light on
Wanna do your best tonight
Check, check
Cold day, stuck in my head
Wargames, interstates
Restless adolescence
Presidential motorcades
You know daddy's blowing words
Made of cigarette smoke
Mommy's always down on her knees
Late night, cocktail parties
Let the children do as they please
Yeah, Earthquakes and revelries
Me and my sister burning up in the room
We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
Or really gives a damn
Me and my sister turn the black light on
Warm day, sun is shining
Ice trays, fake IDs
Stumbling towards the end of the
20th century
And it's hot enough to melt the ice caps
But you wanna make the summer stay

Nobody knows, nobody shows enough to give a damn

We turn the black light on, turn the black light on
Nobody knows, nobody shows
that we can give a damn
Me and my sister turn it on and on and on
Black light on
Come on

Wounded Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I can't tell you why
The struggle to survive
Falling so hard
And all my senses lie
I can't believe my eyes
Keep on moving
With all the blood that i can give
I choose to live
[Chorus]
Tell me why we bother
Hurting one another
With nothing left to gain
How do you explain
Striking down my brother
Lying to a lover
Left with what remains
We are wounded
We are wounded
I can not disguise
The weight i feel inside
Some great ocean
But if love could be blind
With no more compromise
What might happen
Could you make the choice to live
Or to forgive
[Chorus]
We are wounded
With all the blood that I can give
With all the blood that I can give
I chose to live
[Chorus]
We are wounded
We are wounded
The struggle to survive
Falling so hard
And all my senses lie
I can't believe my eyes
Keep on moving
With all the blood that i can give
I choose to live
[Chorus]
Tell me why we bother
Hurting one another
With nothing left to gain
How do you explain
Striking down my brother
Lying to a lover
Left with what remains
We are wounded
We are wounded
I can not disguise
The weight i feel inside
Some great ocean
But if love could be blind
With no more compromise
What might happen
Could you make the choice to live
Or to forgive
[Chorus]
We are wounded
With all the blood that I can give
With all the blood that I can give
I chose to live
[Chorus]
We are wounded
We are wounded
I Just Knew Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
When you walk in the noise dissapears
Where you begin is perfectly clear
All this time I felt so confused
Then came you and I just knew
Well I fell out when you picked up the phone
When we'd go out, yeah, it'd feel just like home
Do you think that I'm alright
Shining through and I just knew
And I just knew
There's something I've been meaning to ask you
How about making it for real
Something changed but I just knew
And I just knew
There's something I've been meaning to ask you
How about doing it for life
Something changed and I just knew
And I just knew
And I just know
Oh yeah and I knew
Come around and see me tonight, Darlin'
Come around and make it all right
Come around and see me tonight
Come around and make it all right, Darlin'
Where you begin is perfectly clear
All this time I felt so confused
Then came you and I just knew
Well I fell out when you picked up the phone
When we'd go out, yeah, it'd feel just like home
Do you think that I'm alright
Shining through and I just knew
And I just knew
There's something I've been meaning to ask you
How about making it for real
Something changed but I just knew
And I just knew
There's something I've been meaning to ask you
How about doing it for life
Something changed and I just knew
And I just knew
And I just know
Oh yeah and I knew
Come around and see me tonight, Darlin'
Come around and make it all right
Come around and see me tonight
Come around and make it all right, Darlin'
Burned Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
On a Tuesday in December,
When you walked out I remember.
You were smiling as you turned around,
In the hallway, you lingered in the doorway.
And still the words you said to me, make me think of how we used to be.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She said, You're just like the sun.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
In the back room of a mansion,
You are planning your deception.
Always calling, never phoning.
I'm a victim of another's war.
And still the words you said to me,
Come ringing in your silent symphony.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She says, You're just like the sun.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
And still it hurt so bad, (I thought I'd get one over on you),
You know, I hope you're sad, (you deserve it more than anyone).
I could give you one good reason.
You could be my winning season.
All the things we could have been, just fell away.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She says, You're just like the sun. I get so burned when you are close to me.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
When you walked out I remember.
You were smiling as you turned around,
In the hallway, you lingered in the doorway.
And still the words you said to me, make me think of how we used to be.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She said, You're just like the sun.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
In the back room of a mansion,
You are planning your deception.
Always calling, never phoning.
I'm a victim of another's war.
And still the words you said to me,
Come ringing in your silent symphony.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She says, You're just like the sun.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
And still it hurt so bad, (I thought I'd get one over on you),
You know, I hope you're sad, (you deserve it more than anyone).
I could give you one good reason.
You could be my winning season.
All the things we could have been, just fell away.
Hand to my heart, I want to be the one who always learned.
She says, You're just like the sun. I get so burned when you are close to me.
I get so burned when you are close to me.
Daylight Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
You're a long walk in a rain storm
You're a cut that refuses to heal
You're a dull ache that I can't shake
You're a cold that's clogging up my head
Or a broke watch keeping time still
Till you pull me in pull me in
And I can't fight
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
You're a stalled car in the desert
You're a song I can't get off my mind
And in a dire strait
With no hope at all in sight
You come rushing in rushing in
With a lifeline
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
Pull me closer to your breast
I need you finally I confess
I'm drifting I'm drifting
I love you but I hate you too
God only knows what I could do
I'm drifting I'm drifting
Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight
Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
You'll find daylight
You're a cut that refuses to heal
You're a dull ache that I can't shake
You're a cold that's clogging up my head
Or a broke watch keeping time still
Till you pull me in pull me in
And I can't fight
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
You're a stalled car in the desert
You're a song I can't get off my mind
And in a dire strait
With no hope at all in sight
You come rushing in rushing in
With a lifeline
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
Pull me closer to your breast
I need you finally I confess
I'm drifting I'm drifting
I love you but I hate you too
God only knows what I could do
I'm drifting I'm drifting
Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight
Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight
If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
You'll find daylight
A Lifetime Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.
When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
It felt like a lifetime
And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through
You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up."
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
Are you sitting in the lights?
Or combing your hair again,
And talking in rhymes?
Are you sitting in the lights?
When I got home, heard the phone,
Your parents had arrived.
And your dad set his jaw
Your mom just smiled and sighed.
But they left soon
And I went to my room.
Played that disc that you'd given me,
And I shut my eyes
Swear I could hear the sea.
When we were standing
On the hood of your car
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes,
Three and a half minutes,
Felt like a lifetime.
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.
When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
It felt like a lifetime
And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through
You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up."
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing

And three and a half minutes

Are you sitting in the lights?
Or combing your hair again,
And talking in rhymes?
Are you sitting in the lights?

And I went to my room.

And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes,
Three and a half minutes,
Felt like a lifetime.
It's Only Natural Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Girl, your daddy's knocking on your door
I hear your footsteps on the floor to me
Stumbling back to your room
Pain it is a thing I can't explain
I only feel it when you go away
I'm waiting for you to return
Don't fight it if it feels good
(Don't fight it girl)
You hide it but you never should
(Don't hide)
Don't listen to voices in your head
What are you and me but monkeys in a tree?
It's only natural
Na-na-na-na natural
Hey, I know your mother's off at work
You say your daddy's such a jerk to you
Why can't they just all fade away
Girl, is that the way it's going to be?
I'm only happy when you're down on me
You can be my honeybee
Don't fight it if it feels good
(Don't fight it girl)
You hide it but you never should
(Don't hide it)
Don't listen to voices in your head
What are you and me but monkeys in a tree?
It's only natural
Na-na-na-na natural
Don't fight it if it feels good
(Don't fight it girl)
You hide it but you never should
(Don't hide)
Don't listen to voices in your head
What are you and me but monkeys in a tree?
It's only natural
It's only natural
It's only natural
Na-na-na-na natural
(don't fight it girl)
It's only natural
(don't hide it)
Is it the colour of your hair?
Is it the silly way you stare?
(don't fight it girl)
It's only natural
Na-na-na-na natural
I hear your footsteps on the floor to me
Stumbling back to your room
Pain it is a thing I can't explain
I only feel it when you go away
I'm waiting for you to return
Don't fight it if it feels good
(Don't fight it girl)
You hide it but you never should
(Don't hide)
Don't listen to voices in your head
What are you and me but monkeys in a tree?
It's only natural

Why can't they just all fade away

Overcome Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
North light comes uninvited
Through the window to where you lie
Disjointed, dust and silence
Quite at a loss
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome by you
I fell in too deep
But I learned to swim
In an undertow
I sense I'm giving in
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome
I'm a little bit wiser
I'm a little bit sadder
I'm a little bit less you might have guessed
But if you could be staying
Tell me now darling I think I'm fading
I swear I'll never trade your life for a lie
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome by you
Overcome by you
Through the window to where you lie
Disjointed, dust and silence
Quite at a loss
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome by you
I fell in too deep
But I learned to swim
In an undertow
I sense I'm giving in
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome
I'm a little bit wiser
I'm a little bit sadder
I'm a little bit less you might have guessed
But if you could be staying
Tell me now darling I think I'm fading
I swear I'll never trade your life for a lie
I feel strange
I feel changed
I feel strange
Overcome
Overcome by you
Overcome by you
Special Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Are you real?
Are you real or just a dream?
It's been so long, I don't know.
I can feel. I can feel you with me now.
Even though you're far away.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
I was lost.
I was lost and I found you.
I will know no further love.
People move.
People move and fall away,
Love, you refuse to fade.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
So regretful, how could I ever be so blind.
You were special.
I thought I'd never lose my mind.
I was pulling far away.
You were begging me to stay.
And I thought I was losing you.
Funny, how the opposite was true.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
So regretful, how could I ever be so blind.
You were special.
I thought I'd never lose my mind.
Some are special.
Are you real or just a dream?
It's been so long, I don't know.
I can feel. I can feel you with me now.
Even though you're far away.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
I was lost.
I was lost and I found you.
I will know no further love.
People move.
People move and fall away,
Love, you refuse to fade.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
So regretful, how could I ever be so blind.
You were special.
I thought I'd never lose my mind.
I was pulling far away.
You were begging me to stay.
And I thought I was losing you.
Funny, how the opposite was true.
Some are special.
They come back, racing through your mind.
You were special.
Your light, your heat
Will never die.
So regretful, how could I ever be so blind.
You were special.
I thought I'd never lose my mind.
Some are special.
Hollow Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Well they say your life was marked
And you were wondering if it would ever start
Stop
Sunlight on a razor blade
Three different souls
And the lives they made
I grew up in the 80's
In the pallisades
I was listening to Devo
And everybody catered to their needs
All voted most likely to succeed
Holly came out
And Billy got paid
But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid
All my rage
Sits inside
When even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days
Left behind
And even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
Cut to an interior view
Holly married well but so did you
One was black one was blue
I was watching the days go by
Could you be seen in a silly dream
Where Billy lives on Prozac and nicotine
Holly got her GED living in maternity
Nursing her broken heart for the love she lost
All my rage
Sits inside
When even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days
Left behind
And even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And the sky is blue
And so are you
Mary takes a drag off a cigarette
And the stereo is coming up behind her
Like she needs someone to remind her
That life is richer in a minor key
Bill and Holly disagree
But I don't think so
All my rage
Sits inside
When even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days
Left behind
And even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
Sunlight on a razor blade
Three different souls and the lives they made
Well Holly came out and Billy got paid
But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid
And you were wondering if it would ever start
Stop
Sunlight on a razor blade
Three different souls
And the lives they made
I grew up in the 80's
In the pallisades
I was listening to Devo
And everybody catered to their needs
All voted most likely to succeed
Holly came out
And Billy got paid
But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid
All my rage
Sits inside
When even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days
Left behind
And even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
Cut to an interior view
Holly married well but so did you
One was black one was blue
I was watching the days go by
Could you be seen in a silly dream
Where Billy lives on Prozac and nicotine
Holly got her GED living in maternity
Nursing her broken heart for the love she lost

American Dream Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
She was a midwestern prom queen
Got her boyfriend headed out West
They ended up in the valley
In a one room apartment
A disconnected phone
Yeah
Now five years later she's single
She's got two kids and a note
And if she gets a moment to herself
She can remember how everything used
To go her way
She says
Where did the time go
When everything was simple and free?
I want to know what happened
Somebody woke me before I could
Have my American Dream
For twenty years he worked corporate
He planned to early retire
His CEO he stole a billion dollars
Now he's working at Denny's
Hoping for a raise
He thinks
Where did the time go
When everything was simple and free?
I want to know what happened
Somebody woke me before I could
Have my American Dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a little bit rebel
I'm a bit patriot
I can see they're both sides of the coin
But still it gets a bit rough
Everything is screwed up
I guess its just the American way
Sometimes I wonder how you are
You're up in New York City with a family
I think I could have been your guy
It's just a moment in time that is slipping on away
Where did the time go
When everything was simple and free?
I want to know what happened
Somebody woke me before I could have
My American Dream
My American Dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She was a midwestern prom queen
Got her boyfriend headed out West
Got her boyfriend headed out West
They ended up in the valley
In a one room apartment
A disconnected phone
Yeah
Now five years later she's single
She's got two kids and a note
And if she gets a moment to herself

Our Last Night Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
We were standing in an empty room.
The moonlight was falling.
You were holding my hand when the car
Pulled up for you.
And I could have spent a life with you,
But those days were over.
You were calling my name when
Your face faded from view.
And wasn't it you who told me
The sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me?
Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
I remember waking up with you.
The days doing nothing,
You meant more to me then
Than I think you ever knew.
But you were going to be a doctor,
A movie star, a poet at a Nobel seminar,
I hope the world never tore that out of you.
And wasn't it you who told me
The sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me?
Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made?
And what ever happened to the things you loved, the songs we played,
On the Indian days?
What ever happened to the things you gave away,
Like 'Harold and Maude' and singing?
I was waving as you drove away.
The sunlight was falling.
You were writing backwards
In a dusty windowpane.
Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
The moonlight was falling.
You were holding my hand when the car
Pulled up for you.
And I could have spent a life with you,
But those days were over.
You were calling my name when
Your face faded from view.
And wasn't it you who told me
The sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me?
Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
I remember waking up with you.
The days doing nothing,
You meant more to me then
Than I think you ever knew.
But you were going to be a doctor,
A movie star, a poet at a Nobel seminar,
I hope the world never tore that out of you.
And wasn't it you who told me

Wasn't it you who told me?

A Southern Thing Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Kelly was a blackjack dealer
Living on the Gulf of Mexico
Kelly had a taste for guns and pills
He was looking for a mark to roll
Sara was a Kappa from Tulane
She was looking for a little change of pace
When a cop pulled them over on the interstate
Kelly blew that car away
(I heard them singing)
Gulf breeze on the porch
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
Light it up again with my kin and friends
Underneath a yellow moon
(It's a Gas)
Sweet dream New Orleans
Mississippi River running over me
Pretty Momma come and take me by the hand
Don't mock what you don't understand
It's a Southern Thing
Now when they held up a bank in Mobile
They finally made it on the evening news
She's a Georgia Peach never within reach
He's a felon from Baton Rouge
I heard Robert Johnson playing on a steel guitar
In the heat of the Delta sun
When Kelly drove them back up to Memphis
To finish what the King had once begun
(Come on and sing it now)
Gulf breeze on the porch
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
Light it up again with my kin and friends
Underneath a yellow moon
(It's a Gas)
Sweet dream New Orleans
Mississippi River rolling over me
Pretty Momma come and take me by the hand
Don't mock what you dont understand
It's a Southern Thing
If we ever get out of here
I want you to promise me
You'll go down to the Gulf
And swim
Deep in the sea
And you'll think of me
The way you used to sing
That silly song to me
Singing
M-I crooked letter crooked letter
Hump back hump back
Get a little closer
M-I crooked letter crooked letter
Hump back hump back
Get a little closer
Gulf breeze on the porch
Me and my honey rocking back and forth
Light it up again with my kin and friends
Underneath a yellow moon
(It's a Gas)
Sweet dream New Orleans

Juicy Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Here we go

You're like a salve for a leper
You're sweet for somebody's pain

Meet me in the check out stand

Conscience bleeding in a song
Guilty as the day is long
Goodbye
Yeah, you got to live for your own
You say you got all the sordid details
Check-out retail
Watch it sell
I got to see that lie
You say what you're going to say
You got to know it's a bitter poison
Sapping all of your soul away
Yeah, Juicy
Juicy
I got with somebody's date
You're like a Soap Opera cover
My lover self-automates

Don't know the reason why
Meet me in the check out stand
See who can be the lover man
Conscience bleeding in a song
Guilty as the day is long
Goodbye
Yeah, you got to live for your own
You say you got all the sordid details
Check-out retail
Watch it sell
I got to see that lie
You say what you're going to say
You got to know it's a bitter poison
Sapping all of your soul away
Yeah, Juicy
Juicy
Our Finest Year Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I am bending
Made of steel
I am stumbling
Towards something real
How can you forget this feeling
Of standing straight while the world is reeling?
Don't leave me here alone
You're as close as it gets to home
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
I am hopeful
Full of doubt
And I am trying to work this whole thing out
So how can you just sit there sleeping
When your worlds on fire
And your chest is beating?
And I want to think you feel the same
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
In this moment
While you're breathing
If the future leaves you needing
Will you be the one who stayed?
As your life just slipped away?
Don't leave me here alone
You're as close as it gets to home
I'll be there if you fall
Love made suckers of us all
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
Made of steel
I am stumbling
Towards something real
How can you forget this feeling
Of standing straight while the world is reeling?
Don't leave me here alone
You're as close as it gets to home
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
I am hopeful
Full of doubt
And I am trying to work this whole thing out
So how can you just sit there sleeping
When your worlds on fire
And your chest is beating?
And I want to think you feel the same
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
In this moment
While you're breathing
If the future leaves you needing
Will you be the one who stayed?
As your life just slipped away?
Don't leave me here alone
You're as close as it gets to home
I'll be there if you fall
Love made suckers of us all
Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
Breathless Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Here you are now
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were,
Stripped to the bone
I thought youd want to know
That when you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
So glad to see you smiling
So good to hear your laugh
I think that you've found you even
Missed yourself
I'm only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, you'll never go again
Again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were,
Stripped to the bone
I thought youd want to know
That when you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
So glad to see you smiling
So good to hear your laugh
I think that you've found you even
Missed yourself
I'm only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, you'll never go again
Again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless
Misunderstood Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Talking in her sleep again
Reciting lines start to end
But she's not crazy
(Knock on wood)
Just a little misunderstood
She takes a walk at 4AM
Wakes the neighborhood again
And I find myself recalling everything she used to tell me
Aw yeah, alright, truth hurts inside
Aw yeah, that's right, you go around once in life
Everybody wants to be a part
Everybody loves a situation
Who would ever want to play the part
Of anonymous numbers on a governmental chart
She's waiting tables the next day
She pulls a double then on her way
To an audition in Hollywood, yeah,
A little misunderstood
We sit around the house
Waiting for the phone to ring
And I know she alone holds the key
To everything I want to be
Aw yeah, alright, truth hurts inside
Aw yeah, that's right, you go around once in life
Everybody wants to be a part
Everybody loves a situation
Who would ever want to play the part
Of anonymous numbers on a governmental chart
Everybody wants to be your friend
When you've got something you can give them
All I've seen, bad and good, she's not crazy
Just a little misunderstood.
Aw yeah, all good, she's not crazy,
Just a little misunderstood.
Two years later you're a star
Who'd have thought we'd get this far?
But I'd give it all away if I
Could see you on that day again
When you quit work
And threw that coffee
At the manager jerk
You said, "Close your eyes
I've got a surprise
A house in the hills
And a car that drives by."
Aw yeah, alright, truth hurts, don't it? Inside
Aw yeah, that's right, you go around once in life
Everybody wants to be a part
Everybody loves a situation
Who would ever want to play the part
Of anonymous numbers on a governmental chart
Everybody wants to be your friend
When you've got something you can give them
All I've seen, bad and good, she's not crazy
Just a little misunderstood.
Aw yeah, all good, she's not crazy,
Just a little misunderstood.
Reciting lines start to end

Extra Ordinary Lyrics – Better Than Ezra (feat. DJ Swamp)
I got a little bit of hope
Like a soap on a rope
Sweeter than sour
But getting thinner by the hour
Falling fast, and I'm running out of gas
Muggin on your sister!
Smart as Bobby Fischer!
Still I couldn't get arrested
Though I got more hooks
Than Madonna got looks
And just like that AC/DC song
Come on baby, shake me all night long
All I want to do
Is stay till early in the morning
(You know I love you baby)
And all I've got to say
Is your love's extra ordinary
You're extra ordinary, baby
Somebody push me through the door
I been sleeping on the floor
Thirty-one flavors, listen to the neighbors
Through the wall
At a debutante ball
Cumba lada vista!
Got a Mona Lisa!
So much for the late rent
Cause your money's spent
And it's cold inside
But just like that Barenaked Ladies' song
I'm hot like wasabi when I'm next to your body
All I want to do
Is stay till early in the morning
(You know I love you baby)
And all I've got to say, yeah
Is your love's extra ordinary
You're extra ordinary, baby
Ain't love such a sweet thing!
Ain't love such a sweet thing!
(Con fuego, baby ...)
All I want to do
Is stay till early in the morning
(You know I love you baby)
And all I've got to say, yeah
Is your love's extra ordinary
You're extra ordinary, baby
Like a soap on a rope
Sweeter than sour
But getting thinner by the hour
Falling fast, and I'm running out of gas
Muggin on your sister!
Smart as Bobby Fischer!
Still I couldn't get arrested
Though I got more hooks
Than Madonna got looks
And just like that AC/DC song
Come on baby, shake me all night long
All I want to do
Is stay till early in the morning
(You know I love you baby)
And all I've got to say
Is your love's extra ordinary
You're extra ordinary, baby
Somebody push me through the door

Closer Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
And the morning light was breaking
Slowly moving across the bed
He gets up without her waking
To the voices in his head
Through the shadows in the hallway
To the room they painted blue
And on the inside he is frightened
At a loss for what to do
Until he opens up his eyes
And the angels all look down
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And he knows his life is changing
It's never easy letting go
For the first time you are mortal
As the child before you grows
And he wonders at the sight
Of the joy that he has found
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And what would you intend to find?
Solitude? Your peace of mind?
Holding out for something less
Than touching the hand of God?
Even closer than this life
Closer than this faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
Closer than this life
Closer finally
Living for the only thing
You ever made complete
Oh, for the one thing
That you both did perfectly
Slowly moving across the bed
He gets up without her waking
To the voices in his head
Through the shadows in the hallway
To the room they painted blue
And on the inside he is frightened
At a loss for what to do
Until he opens up his eyes
And the angels all look down
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And he knows his life is changing
It's never easy letting go
For the first time you are mortal
As the child before you grows
And he wonders at the sight
Of the joy that he has found
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And what would you intend to find?
Solitude? Your peace of mind?
Holding out for something less
Than touching the hand of God?
Even closer than this life
Closer than this faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
Closer than this life
Closer finally
Living for the only thing
You ever made complete
Oh, for the one thing
That you both did perfectly
Rolling Lyrics – Better Than Ezra (feat. Toddy)
Rain drops bead again
They make a tide pool
On your summer skin
Shoplifting corner store
I should have got,
Should have got some more.
How'd you get so low?
How'd you get so low?
Baby I don't know.
God, how you look the same.
I recognize the face,
But not the name.
Pull over, never stop
A caramel-colored girl in a halter top.
How'd you get so low?
How'd you get so low?
(She said)
Me and you
Got a lot to do.
We go rolling
From Friday till Sunday noon.
Stop! Start a letter,
Rent-A-Saint in back
Want to hit the interstate in a Cadillac,
And we're rolling.
Could it be that hard
To never mind the rent
And then quit your job?
Flying, at what cost?
Shout outs to the ones we've lost.
How'd you get so low?
How'd you get so low?
Don't mind me. Me? I'm fine.
I just get a little lost sometimes.
But what I really meant to say,
I couldn't live without you another day.
How'd you get so low?
How'd you get so low?
(She said)
Me and you
Got a lot to do.
We go rolling
From Friday till Sunday noon.
Stop! Start a letter,
Rent-A-Saint in back
Want to hit the interstate in a Cadillac,
And we're rolling.
Are you just worried to see me?
Are you just worried to need me?
Me and you
Got a lot to do.
We go rolling
>From Friday till Sunday noon.
Stop! Start a letter,
Rent-A-Saint in back
Want to hit the interstate in a Cadillac,
And we're rolling.
Yeah, we're rolling.
Me and you, we're rolling.
On a Sunday afternoon.
Yeah...
They make a tide pool
On your summer skin
Shoplifting corner store
I should have got,
Should have got some more.

A Lifetime Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.
When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
It felt like a lifetime
And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through
You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up."
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
Are you sitting in the lights?
Or combing your hair again,
And talking in rhymes?
Are you sitting in the lights?
When I got home, heard the phone,
Your parents had arrived.
And your dad set his jaw
Your mom just smiled and sighed.
But they left soon
And I went to my room.
Played that disc that you'd given me,
And I shut my eyes
Swear I could hear the sea.
When we were standing
On the hood of your car
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes,
Three and a half minutes,
Felt like a lifetime.
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.
When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime
It felt like a lifetime
And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through
You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud

When they're giving up."
And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,

Recognize Lyrics – Better Than Ezra (feat. DJ Swamp)
First thing I remember was lying in the sand
When a plague of seven horsemen
Came across the desert land
They had one good eye between them
They were burning up the sky
When I asked why they had come for me
The ugly one replied
He told me
Ah, you better recognize
Aw, you better recognize, son
Next thing I recall well
I was hanging from a cliff
When an angel came to rescue
Me and held me in her grip
She said, "Everyone who's ever loved you
Gets hurt in the end."
Then she smiled and said, "Forgive me."
As she let go of my hand
She told me
(You been living out of pocket, out of your socket)
Ah, you better recognize.
(You been leaning like a Pisa, a moaning Lisa)
Ah, you better recognize, son
(Hip hip for all the busted, we are entrusted)
Ah, you better recognize.
(You come a pleading, but it's too late
We can't hear you're on the list now!)
And let your dim light shine.
Always darkest before the morning light,
Lord knows you ain't that bright
Better let your dim light shine
Just before I hit the ground
I woke up in my bed
I was dazed and I was weary
And my heart was full of dread
When I looked at my reflection
I was horrified to find
There were seven horsemen next to me
The angel close behind
They told me
(You been living out of pocket, out of the socket)
Ah, you better recognize.
(You been leaning like a Pisa, a moaning Lisa)
Ah, you better recognize, son
(Hip hip for all the busted, we are entrusted)
Ah, you better recognize.
(You come a pleading, but it's too late
We can't hear you're on the list now!)
And let your dim light shine.
When a plague of seven horsemen
Came across the desert land
They had one good eye between them
They were burning up the sky
When I asked why they had come for me

Sincerely, Me Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I can still recall
The way you looked that fall
In your favorite dress
The day before you left
And since that time
I wrote a simple rhyme
And I miss you and the things you do
The time we had, the good and bad
The day we met that I can't forget
Signed Sincerely, Me
Are you cross at your loss?
But could you be more obsessive
If I'd given you the chance
But since you asked, a reply but it's the last
And I miss you and the things you do
The love you fake, the heart you break.
The buzz you caught, and the times we fought
Signed Sincerely, Me.
Oh, my God, and don't forget P.S.
I moved away to a new address
It's far away and I think it's best
Signed Sincerely, Me.
Why can't it be like it was?
The rain falls, the summer ends.
Why can't it be like it was?
You always said you'd never go away.
And I confess, I was such a mess
I drove for fifteen hours
On this nasty Greyhound bus
Yes, I've returned.
(You'd think that I would have learned.)
But I miss you and the things you do
The times we had, the good and bad
The day we met that I can't forget
Signed Sincerely, Me
Could you really be a bitch like that?
Broke my door when you stole the cat.
Someone said that you even laughed
Signed Sincerely, Me
Why can't it be like it was?
The rain falls, the summer ends.
Why can't it be like it was?
You always said you'd never go away.
And I miss you...
The hope you give.
The life you live.
The cross you bear.
The way you swear.
The face you make
When you masturbate.
Our bed in the moonlight.
And the night we fought
You were so distraught.
And the lies I denied
Even when you cried,
God knows I apologize,
Signed Sincerely, Me.
Why can't it be like it was?
The rain goes, the sun returns.
Why can't it be like it was?
You always said you'd never go away.
You'd never go away.
You'd never go away.
Signed Sincerely, Me.
The way you looked that fall
In your favorite dress
The day before you left
And since that time
I wrote a simple rhyme
And I miss you and the things you do
The time we had, the good and bad
The day we met that I can't forget

The life you live.
The cross you bear.
The way you swear.
The face you make
When you masturbate.
Our bed in the moonlight.
And the night we fought
You were so distraught.
And the lies I denied
Even when you cried,
God knows I apologize,
Signed Sincerely, Me.
Why can't it be like it was?
The rain goes, the sun returns.
Why can't it be like it was?
You always said you'd never go away.
You'd never go away.
You'd never go away.
Signed Sincerely, Me.
Get You In Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I sit and watch your flowers wilting in the kitchen
I felt like I was one of them gasping for air.
I go from room to room hoping to find your
I play my music louder than you'd like me to
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,
Get you, get you in.
I understand that you are going through a hard time
But what you need to recognize I'm in one too
You say that maybe we should take some time apart
But you go your way, I'll get by, and you'll go get high
You just see if I mind.
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,
Let you, get you in.
Well I could be wrong I don't even know myself
And I must be strong when you're gone so long
I don't need to know reasons why.
What I wouldn't do for you.
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,
Let you, get you in.
I want to get you in.
I felt like I was one of them gasping for air.
I go from room to room hoping to find your
I play my music louder than you'd like me to
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,
Get you, get you in.
I understand that you are going through a hard time
But what you need to recognize I'm in one too
You say that maybe we should take some time apart
But you go your way, I'll get by, and you'll go get high
You just see if I mind.
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,

Well I could be wrong I don't even know myself

What I wouldn't do for you.
Why can't I be your lover?
Can there be another?
And when I feel without I want to get you in.
Why can't I be your lover?
At five o'clock you come shuffling in.
And when I lock you out I want to get you,

I want to get you in.
Briefly Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Wake me up
Slap my face
Draw me closer in
To your embrace
Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one to pull the rope
So you harden your shell
Slowly losing yourself
And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly
Can you feel
Could you love
Are you further now from where you started
I bet you do enough just to get by
Don't you
Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one who's full of hope
And a cop's light goes by
And the moon lights the night
And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly
And you're a starlight that shines
For a moment in time
In time
Slap my face
Draw me closer in
To your embrace
Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one to pull the rope
So you harden your shell
Slowly losing yourself
And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly
Can you feel
Could you love
Are you further now from where you started
I bet you do enough just to get by
Don't you
Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one who's full of hope
And a cop's light goes by
And the moon lights the night
And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly
And you're a starlight that shines
For a moment in time
In time
Juarez Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
Worn out in Juarez
Asking the dust for change
Worn out in Juarez
A punch drunk assassin
Getting caught in the rain
Driving all the way from Albuquerque
Living on Funyuns and beef jerky, yeah
Wearing the ages
Mining the seats for cash
Worn on the edges
Faded like a photo left too long on the dash
Busking all the way from Sarasota
Chasing mini thins with cherry cola, yeah
It's a dreamlife
Hitching all the way from Minnesota
Sunflower seeds in your scotch and soda
It's a dreamlife
Ah, it's a dreamlife
Worn out in Juarez
Worn out in Juarez
Asking the dust for change
Worn out in Juarez
A punch drunk assassin
Getting caught in the rain
Driving all the way from Albuquerque
Living on Funyuns and beef jerky, yeah
Wearing the ages
Mining the seats for cash
Worn on the edges
Faded like a photo left too long on the dash
Busking all the way from Sarasota
Chasing mini thins with cherry cola, yeah
It's a dreamlife
Hitching all the way from Minnesota
Sunflower seeds in your scotch and soda
It's a dreamlife
Ah, it's a dreamlife
Worn out in Juarez
Worn out in Juarez
I Do Lyrics – Better Than Ezra
I got a little bit of reason
For everything I've done
I might just serenade the moonlight
And I get so lonely in this crowd
I want to scream but make no sound
And yeah I'm lost but maybe I'll be fine
Cause when I'm in over my head
I hear the words you said
That someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
And tell me you feel just like I do
I do
And I couldn't bear to see you walk out
And leave it all behind
I couldn't bear to see the sunlight
And I love the sound of rain on tin
Your screen door beckoning me in
And yeah I'm mad but overcome with joy
Could it be so damn naive
To hope you could agree?
That someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
Tell me you feel just like I do
I do
In a world that's cellophane
You get so lost I know you do
In a world that's cellophane
Someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
Tell me you feel just like I do
I do
Someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
And tell me you feel just like I do
I do
For everything I've done
I might just serenade the moonlight
And I get so lonely in this crowd
I want to scream but make no sound
And yeah I'm lost but maybe I'll be fine
Cause when I'm in over my head
I hear the words you said
That someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
And tell me you feel just like I do

And I couldn't bear to see you walk out
And leave it all behind
I couldn't bear to see the sunlight
And I love the sound of rain on tin
Your screen door beckoning me in
And yeah I'm mad but overcome with joy
Could it be so damn naive
To hope you could agree?

Je Ne M'en Souviens Pas Lyrics – Better than Ezra
WE'RE ALL A SCENE IN MONA'S DREAM...
A PARIS STREET.
A QUIET STREAM.
FAR AWAY FROM CABRINI GREEN.
FORGOTTEN LOVE AT SEVENTEEN,
WHERE HER CHILDREN GOT A CHANCE,
NOT A DEAD END STREET.
CAUSE SOME GOT RELIGION,
AND SOME GOT DRUGS,
SOME GOT MONEY AND,
SOME GOT LOVE,
ALL OF HER DAYS IN A DRY-EYED HAZE,
JUST ANOTHER SCENE IN MONA'S DREAM.
A PARIS STREET.
A QUIET STREAM.
FAR AWAY FROM CABRINI GREEN.
FORGOTTEN LOVE AT SEVENTEEN,
WHERE HER CHILDREN GOT A CHANCE,
NOT A DEAD END STREET.
CAUSE SOME GOT RELIGION,
AND SOME GOT DRUGS,
SOME GOT MONEY AND,
SOME GOT LOVE,
ALL OF HER DAYS IN A DRY-EYED HAZE,
JUST ANOTHER SCENE IN MONA'S DREAM.
One More Murder Lyrics – Better than Ezra
ONE MORE MURDER IN THIS TOWN,
DON'T MEAN A THING JUST LOCK YOUR DOORS
AND DRIVE AROUND.
ONE MORE MURDER IN THIS TOWN,
DON'T WORRY THE RAIN WILL
WASH THE CHALK MARKS FROM THE GROUND.
SATURDAY NIGHT, SHOTS RING OUT,
ADD ONE TO THE BODY COUNT.
YOU COME ALIVE TO SEE ANOTHER'S END.
PLEAD IT TO A LESSER COUNT,
D.A. SAYS WITHOUT A DOUBT,
IN 3-5 YOU'RE ON THE STREETS AGAIN.
ONE MORE MURDER IN THIS TOWN
DON'T MEAN A THING
YOU GET ACCUSTOMED TO THE SOUND
ONE MORE MURDER IN THIS TOWN
BLOCK OFF THE STREET AND
WRAP THE CRIME SCENE TAPE AROUND.
HOSANNA! HOSANNA!
I CAN'T FEEL A THING AT ALL!
HOSANNA! HOSANNA!
I CAN'T FEEL A THING!
I CAN'T FEEL A THING AT ALL!
SATURDAY NIGHT YOU'RE GOING OUT
PARKING LOT, A FIGURE COME ABOUT
FEEL A PIECE CLICK AGAINST YOUR HEAD.
PLEADING TO HIS SYMPATHY,
"TAKE THE CAR, I GOT A FAMILY"
YOU HEAR A LAUGH,
"IT DON'T MEAN SHIT TO ME."
ONE MORE MURDER IN THIS TOWN

At The Stars Lyrics – Better than Ezra
MAYBE I SHOULD DROP YOU AT YOUR DOOR.
OR LEAVE TONIGHT AND VANISH UP THE SHORE.
ANYWHERE BUT HERE.
IT'S THREE O'CLOCK WE'RE DRIVING IN YOUR CAR,
YOU'RE SCREAMING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE STARS,
"PLEASE DON'T DRIVE ME HOME!"
[CHORUS:]
BLAME US BECAUSE WE ARE WHO WE ARE.
HATE US BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER GET THAT FAR.
AND WHO'D SUPPOSE YOU WOULD GO?
I'VE ALREADY LEARNED ENOUGH TO KNOW.
TELL ME ALL THE PLACES WE COULD GO.
AND COUNT THE HEADLIGHTS PASSING ON THE ROAD,
A LONG, LONG TIME AGO.
[CHORUS:]
[BRIDGE:]
HERE WE ARE.
FOREIGN TO THEIR WORLD.
STRAIGHT AND COMPOSED.
YOUR SERMONS I CAN DO WITHOUT
AND I FINALLY FOUND.
THAT EVERYBODY LOVES TO LOVE YOU
WHEN YOU'RE FAR AWAY.
COULD IT BE WE'VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG
WE'D MAKE IT BACK TO YOUR PLACE BEFORE DAWN
"PLEASE, DON'T TAKE ME HOME."
"PLEASE, DON'T TAKE ME HOME."
[CHORUS:]
OR LEAVE TONIGHT AND VANISH UP THE SHORE.
ANYWHERE BUT HERE.
IT'S THREE O'CLOCK WE'RE DRIVING IN YOUR CAR,
YOU'RE SCREAMING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE STARS,

Like It Like That Lyrics – Better than Ezra
THAT CALLING FROM THAT PORCH AGAIN
LOW DRESS BLOWING IN THE WIND
(I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN I'D REGRET IT LATER)
BUT SHE BLOW LIKE A TSUNAMI
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
TERRA COTTA, WINDOW PANE
BROWN SKIN SOAKING UP THE RAIN
(I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CYNICAL WRITER)
BUT SHE DON'T CARE JUST WHERE HE BE
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
SHE CAN MOVE YOU!
SHE CAN MOVE YOU!
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
DESTINY.
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT

Allison Foley Lyrics – Better than Ezra
"CALMLY, LIKE A RAZOR
I GOT US ON THE DOOR,"
OR "I GOT A TAPE OF 'CLERKS'
SOMEONE LEFT THE NIGHT BEFORE."
SO I GO OVER LATER,
YOU'RE SITTING IN THAT CHAIR
SMOKING ON YOUR CIGARETTE
FINGERING YOU HAIR
SO I GET DRUNK AND STONED,
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND.
TWENTY-NINE AND AIMLESS
YOU BARTEND DOWN ON FOURTH
YOUR PARENTS PAY INSURANCE
AND THE PARSON'S AUDIT COURSE
OVER-SCHOOLED AND UNINSPIRED
A TRUST FUND UP YOUR NOSE
ALL THAT WASTED TALENT BUT, UH
AIN'T THAT HOW IT ALWAYS GOES?
SO I GET DRUNK AND STONED,
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND.
YEAH, YEAH YEAH
SO LONG ALISON FOLEY
SO LONG, BYE-BYE
(COME UP HIGHER, TAKE A STEP HIGHER)
SOMETIMES YOU UNDERSTAND
THE REASONS HOW YOU WENT ASTRAY
BUT LEAST OF ALL THE ANSWER,
THAT IT HURTS TO WATCH YOU WASTE AWAY.
SO I GET DRUNK AND STONED,
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
SO LONG, ALISON FOLEY
SO LONG, BYE-BYE
I GOT US ON THE DOOR,"

Under You Lyrics – Better than Ezra
Along the edges colors blur, it seems familiar
While you read your magazine
I was counting all the markers
And California seemed to draw you like a siren
From a postcard
In a letter
Or a frame of film melting
Under you, I feel your breath move in and out slowly
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
Take over me
A Hollywood flat where we'd laugh about our fortunes
Where we held jobs in this bar down at 3rd and San Vicente
And Ramen Noodles at 4:30 in the morning,
Where we barely could survive, I was never more alive
Under you, I feel your blood flowing out slowly
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
Take over me
You moved in slow degrees
A sudden memory
You're a Leonard Cohen song
But every now and then I'd swear
I see you standing
On a sidewalk,
In a restaurant,
From a taxi passing by
Under you, I feel your breath move in, out slowly
Under you, let go completely, feeling you take over me
Take over me...
While you read your magazine
I was counting all the markers
And California seemed to draw you like a siren
From a postcard
In a letter
Or a frame of film melting
Under you, I feel your breath move in and out slowly
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
Take over me
A Hollywood flat where we'd laugh about our fortunes
Where we held jobs in this bar down at 3rd and San Vicente
And Ramen Noodles at 4:30 in the morning,
Where we barely could survive, I was never more alive
Under you, I feel your blood flowing out slowly
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
Take over me
You moved in slow degrees
A sudden memory
You're a Leonard Cohen song
But every now and then I'd swear
I see you standing
On a sidewalk,
In a restaurant,
From a taxi passing by
Under you, I feel your breath move in, out slowly
Under you, let go completely, feeling you take over me
Take over me...
Live Again Lyrics – Better than Ezra
DON'T FEAR,
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE AT A LOSS.
I'M NUMB,
A SHELL OF EMPTY THOUGHTS.
BUT YOU GLOW,
YOU STRETCH AND PULL ME OUT.
DOES THAT TROUBLE YOU?
DOES THAT TROUBLE YOU?
[CHORUS:]
LOVE ME
HATE ME
MAKE ME LIVE AGAIN
I NEED YOU AROUND
HEAL ME
HURT ME
MAKE ME LIVE AGAIN
I WANT YOU AROUND
SO LONG,
I NEVER HAD EXPERIENCED
THIS BLISS.
SO HOW COULD I RESIST?
AND I'M FINE
A LITTLE LIGHT-HEADED.
DOES THAT WORRY YOU?
I DIDN'T MEAN TO WORRY YOU.
[CHORUS:]
NOW, RETREATING FROM THE LIGHT
I LOVE IT WHEN WE FIGHT
IT MAKES ME THINK
AT LEAST YOU STILL CARE
GIVE UP, YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE
MOONLIGHT, ILLUMINATES YOUR STARE
AND IT'S GREAT, CAPTIVATING YOU
DOES THAT TROUBLE YOU?
I DIDN'T MEAN TO TROUBLE YOU
[CHORUS & FADE]
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE AT A LOSS.
I'M NUMB,
A SHELL OF EMPTY THOUGHTS.

Particle Lyrics – Better than Ezra
YOUR PAIN MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL, YOU LOVE TO LOSE CONTROL,
AND MEDIOCRITY'S REWARDED SO SET YOUR STANDARDS LOW.
IN AN IMPLODING STAR, OR A BURNED OUT CAR, I IMPLORE YOU.
IN A CARBON-ARC OR A DIM LIT PARK, I IMPLORE YOU.
SUCK ME IN, I'M WILLING, I GET OFF WHEN YOU GO ON
LET ME BE YOUR FATE. POUR IT ON, POUR IT ON.
IN A COUNTRY FAIR OR UNION SQUARE, I IMPLORE YOU
IN A SHROUDED FACE OR A SPRAY OF MACE, I IMPLORE YOU.
I IMPLORE YOU.
CRYPTIC? ELEMENTAL.
YOU TRANSCEND WHEN YOU SUCCUMB.
ONE LAST SHRED OF FRAILTY LEFT,
EMBEDDED IN OUR BONES.
IN AN IMPLODING STAR, OR A BURNED OUT CAR, I IMPLORE YOU
IN A CARBON-ARC OR A DIM LIT PARK, I IMPLORE YOU
SO DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS

Beautiful Mistake Lyrics – Better than Ezra
PHOTO STILLS
IN YOUR WALLET WITH THE UNPAID BILLS
AND YOU SHOW IT LIKE IT MEANS SOMETHING
YOU COULD NEVER KNOW THE PAIN IT BRINGS
AND HERE YOU ARE
STANDING IN OUR DRIVE
(WHEN ABSENCE SUITS YOU BEST)
LETTERS AND YOUR CARDS
WITH NO RETURN ADDRESS
[CHORUS:]
NOW YOU COME AROUND
NOW YOU COME AROUND
YOUR FAMILIAR SOUNDS
WE ARE YOUR BEAUTIFUL,
WE ARE YOUR BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE.
WAITING FOR THIS DAY
WELL I MEMORIZED THE THINGS I'D SAY
HOW YOU BROKE HER WHEN YOU DISAPPEARED
HOW I HEAR HER SAY,
"YOU'D MAKE YOUR FATHER PROUD."
IT ECHOES THROUGH THE YEARS
AS IF I COULD FORGET ALL A MOTHER'S TEARS
[CHORUS:]
[BRIDGE:]
NO, DON'T SAY A WORD
LEAVE WHILE YOU STILL CAN
PUT OUT YOUR LIGHT
NOW I GUESS YOU'RE GOING
A FIGURE THROUGH THE DOOR
AND YOUR TAILLIGHTS FADED
LIKE TWENTY YEARS BEFORE
[CHORUS:]
IN YOUR WALLET WITH THE UNPAID BILLS
AND YOU SHOW IT LIKE IT MEANS SOMETHING
YOU COULD NEVER KNOW THE PAIN IT BRINGS
AND HERE YOU ARE
STANDING IN OUR DRIVE
(WHEN ABSENCE SUITS YOU BEST)
LETTERS AND YOUR CARDS
WITH NO RETURN ADDRESS
[CHORUS:]
NOW YOU COME AROUND
NOW YOU COME AROUND
YOUR FAMILIAR SOUNDS
WE ARE YOUR BEAUTIFUL,
WE ARE YOUR BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE.
WAITING FOR THIS DAY
WELL I MEMORIZED THE THINGS I'D SAY
HOW YOU BROKE HER WHEN YOU DISAPPEARED
HOW I HEAR HER SAY,
"YOU'D MAKE YOUR FATHER PROUD."
IT ECHOES THROUGH THE YEARS
AS IF I COULD FORGET ALL A MOTHER'S TEARS
[CHORUS:]
[BRIDGE:]
NO, DON'T SAY A WORD
LEAVE WHILE YOU STILL CAN
PUT OUT YOUR LIGHT
NOW I GUESS YOU'RE GOING
A FIGURE THROUGH THE DOOR
AND YOUR TAILLIGHTS FADED
LIKE TWENTY YEARS BEFORE
[CHORUS:]
Everything In 2's Lyrics – Better than Ezra
CUT ME OUT OF THIS ROLE.
I CAN'T PLAY IT ANYMORE.
IT MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER HERE.
GIVE ME UP,
I CONFESS.
I FEEL AS THOUGH I'M LIVING LESS.
THE STRANGEST GRAVITY AFFECTS MY WAY.
BECAUSE I WAS BORN INCOMPLETE,
DROWNING IN THE BREVITY.
KIND OF LIKE A ROAD YOU'RE TRAVELLING ON.
[CHORUS:]
EVERYTHING IN 2'S
YOU OFTEN LOSE
YOU MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN
EVERYTHING IN 2'S
YOU NEVER KNEW
YOU'D MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN.
SOMEONE SAID, SOMEONE WROTE,
WE'RE FLOATING TETHERED TO A ROPE.
SO COMPLICATE ME,
I COULD USE THE WEIGHT.
IN HOW YOU MOVE THE SCENERY,
LOVER, HOW YOU MIRROR ME.
BUT STOP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE.
[CHORUS:]
AND NOW AND AGAIN,
YOU FIND YOURSELF OVER YOUR HEAD.
IN A CYNICAL TIME, IN YOU I FIND
A REASON TO LIVE.
[CHORUS:]
CUT ME OUT OF THIS ROLE
I CAN'T PLAY IT ANYMORE
IT MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER HERE.
I CAN'T PLAY IT ANYMORE.
IT MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER HERE.
GIVE ME UP,
I CONFESS.
I FEEL AS THOUGH I'M LIVING LESS.
THE STRANGEST GRAVITY AFFECTS MY WAY.
BECAUSE I WAS BORN INCOMPLETE,
DROWNING IN THE BREVITY.
KIND OF LIKE A ROAD YOU'RE TRAVELLING ON.
[CHORUS:]
EVERYTHING IN 2'S
YOU OFTEN LOSE
YOU MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN
EVERYTHING IN 2'S

New Kind Of Low Lyrics – Better than Ezra
[A) LOW]
I PUSH THE LIMITS OF GOOD TASTE
WHENEVER I OPEN MY MOUTH
YOU GOT A WORM IN YOUR EAR
LIKE CHECKOV FROM KAHN
SHAME! SHAME!
I HIT A NEW KIND OF LOW.
ALL THE WAY FROM SOUTH DAKOTA
LIKE A GREEN LEPRACHAUN
SHE GOT A SUN DRESS IN HEAT
HE GOT HIS LATEX GLOVES ON
SHAME! SHAME!
I HIT A NEW KIND OF LOW.
AND IF YOU EVER COME HERE
YOU'RE TWEAKING ON THE PHONE
"I GOT A NEW CONNECTION"
I NEVER LEAVE THE LIGHT ON
SHAME! SHAME!
I HIT A NEW KIND OF LOW...
[B) COMA]
ALL THE TIME,
A LOSS.
BLACK LIKE YOU WERE BLESSED,
I WAS SOBERED BLIND.
LET YOU TAKE ME THERE
AND LAUGHED LOUD WHEN THEY FOUND
I WAS DEVOURED. DEVOURED.
DEVOURED.
I PUSH THE LIMITS OF GOOD TASTE
WHENEVER I OPEN MY MOUTH
YOU GOT A WORM IN YOUR EAR
LIKE CHECKOV FROM KAHN
SHAME! SHAME!
I HIT A NEW KIND OF LOW.
ALL THE WAY FROM SOUTH DAKOTA
LIKE A GREEN LEPRACHAUN
SHE GOT A SUN DRESS IN HEAT
HE GOT HIS LATEX GLOVES ON
SHAME! SHAME!
I HIT A NEW KIND OF LOW.
AND IF YOU EVER COME HERE

DEVOURED.
Waxing Or Waning? Lyrics – Better than Ezra
YOU IN YOUR COAT
WRITING A NOTE,
"DEAR SAL, I HOPE YOU'LL AGREE..."
THEN CATCHING A BUS,
JUST AFTER DUSK,
A ONE WAY TRIP TO THE CITY.
A COLD WATER FLAT.
A HOT PLATE,
A HAT.
THE WANT ADS ARE STREWN ON THE FLOOR.
AND YOU GET SO MAD, WHEN YOUR MA AND DAD
REFLECT WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
BUT I SEE YOU THERE
NUDE AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS
(BUT SO FAR AWAY)
AND I RECALL ALL
YOUR DREAMS AND YOUR SCHEMES
MOVING ME.
THE PLANS THAT WE MADE,
A STREET SERENADE
YOU CAN'T BE LIKE YOUR BROTHER AND MIKE,
CONTENT JUST TO LIVE AND GET BY.
I HOPE THAT YOUR FINE,
AT 13TH AND 9.
WAXING OR WANING?
YOUR CALL.
BUT I SEE YOU THERE
ALIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS
BUT SO FAR AWAY
AND I RECALL ALL YOUR
HANDS AND YOUR PLANS MOVING ME
THE SENSE THAT IT MADE
A STREET SERENADE.

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.

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 ....
Working undercover for the CIA

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
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

Carbon dating clothes for the last time they were washed

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
Happy endings
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.
[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...
[BRIDGE:]
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.
And that's the reason that I'm asking,
and that's the reason that I'm...
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.

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.

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.
And that's the reason that I'm asking,
and that's the reason that I'm...
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...

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.

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.

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,

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.

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

The body lays up against the reeds.

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.

But your skin is like porcelain.
Yeah, your skin is like porcelain.

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?

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.

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.
