ripples build the current
let them say what they want
don’t you ever give up
‘cause i know you’ll find something, something true
all those liars and crooks
should take a very good look
‘cause i know you’ll find something, something true
yeah i know you’ll find something, something true
yeah we all need something true
every drop of sorrow
i'm not surprised
although i must admit i’m taken back
he told you lies
and compromised the trust you gave to him
valentines, valentines
those valentines can all be thrown away
yeah you’ve got to start over baby
‘cause you’ve been led astray
please don’t cry
i know someone who loves you true
you can rely
on the comfort that i will give to you
chorus
yeah we all get caught up in selfish games
but every drop of sorrow can set your heart ablaze
chorus
selling out
you were doing pretty good yeah you had money to lend
just living off the interest of your associates and friends
then the bubble had to burst
now you just run around like it’s the worst thing you’re ever seen
me i'm not invested so i had nothing to loose
well i heard the market crumble i guess that’s bad news for you
some people they go insane
watching their money run down the drain
well i guess that’s what it’s all about when you’re selling out
when the ship goes down we will all be castaways
pointing the finger at each other wondering who, who’s to blame
yeah the wolves in sheep’s clothing are dressed to perfection these days
they’re trying to convince us that it’s the slaughter we crave
but life is like a merry go round
it lifts you up and then it drags you down
sometimes the whole thing falls to the ground when you’re selling out
going astray
this is the story of a wreck loose kid
who went and flipped his lid
that little girl got the best of him
you got me going, you got me going astray
a sequin pocketbook and ruby lips
the kind of girl you can’t resist
she’s got the world balanced on her hips
you got me going, you got me going astray
yeah she’ll knock you out
when she twist and shout
yeah the new girl in town
oh and i gotta confess, you got me going
never seen a girl quite like this
she’s got the devil in her kiss
you got me going, you got me going astray
how you felt
lazy afternoon i’m crazy and misconstrued about you
i don’t know which way i should run
like a bullet stuck in the barrel of a gun
hazy emotions do phase me just like the tune of your heart
beating so close to my chest
what you’re thinking i can only guess
can’t you see i’m in love with no one else
and it kills me the thought of you with someone else
cause i’m haunted by the memory of how you felt
i don’t know which way i should turn
should i be weak or should i be firm
can’t you see i’m in love with no one else
and it kills me the thought of you with someone else
cause i’m haunted by the memory of how you felt
and it kills me the thought of you with someone else
our love
when i saw your face i didn’t want to look away
you said there you are yes here i am
a little silver case to keep your cigarettes in
you were in band and so was i
our love, it’s true love
our love, it’s true
do you want to dance no i think i'll stay right here
you go on ahead ok i'll be right back
we can take a walk and talk about this crazy world
the angels over head they watch over us
chorus
so take a chance and make romance
no more running away
the time is right tonight’s the night
to give it away
chorus
so take a chance and make romance
no more running away
tonight’s the night to get it right
to give it away
chorus
mistaken identities
as the rocks started flying at me and my friend
i was wondering if it was our time to die
we were walking in a neighborhood on the south side
to be honest i was fearing for my life
now it wasn't really us that they despised
it was only because our skin was white
how many times has this situation been reversed
when it was my race who committed the crime
mistaken identities, it’s the illusion of what we perceive
that encompasses all we believe, mistaken identities
they’re not you, they’re not me
merely shadows of the people who used to be
another situation again on the street
a drive by bottle it was thrown right at my face
i was just walking with a friend at a leisurely pace
they must have thought we were lovers even though we were straight
chorus
are you guilty, a storm is raging now
are you guilty, a storm is raging now
we all are guilty, i know i'm guilty
chorus
get into the flow
devastation at the end of the road
when it comes nobody knows
there’ll be no use for the wealth that you hold, come on
desperate workers lay down into the mold
reckless soldiers doing what they’ve been told
this destruction has a will of it’s own, come on
get into the flow
there is brilliance in every disease
they’ll come running when you start to bleed
look around tell me what do you see, debris
come on baby, baby get in the flow
when you go wondering
you're like the ocean within a wave
and like the sunshine behind the haze
yeah you’ve got the best groove
you’ve got it all when you go wondering
you're like a temple that's filld with love
you’ll see the history in the stars above
yeah you’ve got the best groove
you’ve got it all when you go wondering
flash of light
there was an age when the world felt divine
how we fell just like fruit from the vine
if only i could increase my desire
silhouettes against a trembling fire
and every breath took us higher and higher
if only i could increase my desire
two lovers in a photograph
it’s an image that takes me back
to a time when i felt alright
but it was just a flash, just a flash of light
now these memories are kept in a box
the case is closed and the doors have been locked
if only i could get back what was lost
chorus
tear stained rendezvous
fireflies passing by
in glass jars we caught their light
but in the end the oxygen
ran out and then it grew dark
tear stained rendezvous
the sun set over the hills
we used to play among the daffodils
then they moved the mobile homes
into the fields where we used to roam
tear stained rendezvous
we used to climb a majestic tree
in the branches we felt so free
but then they sliced right through the trunk
to make a little tissue box
tear stained rendezvous
