When I wake up in the morning you’re the first thing I think of And when I shaving I’m wondering if you’ll notice that little stub And when I making my lunch I’m wondering if you’d like this too I guess all this wondering means I’m falling in love with you When I get to where I’m going I’m looking for your face I’m looking down the hall, out the windows, all over the place I just can’t settle in until I’ve found you I guess all this searching means I’m falling in love with you Some people need to think and think, until they find something they call clarity. But that’s not the way it works for me I came around the corner And saw you sooner than I thought My body began to shake, A smile comes on my face, it didn’t want to go away. Then I saw you smile And I knew everything was different, than the way it was before And although I don’t knew you so well What could go wrong What could go wrong What could go wrong Well I guess, with love, there’s always a dose of pain We pray for sun, but too often we get rain And when it hurts real bad, and you don’t know what to do I guess all this hurting means I’m falling in love with you.

Every heart can break There’s only so much pain we can take When the ones we love don’t understand It’s gonna be another wicked hard day It’s gonna be another wicked hard day God knows we tried God knows we loved, we laughed, we cried God knows I can’t take any more It’s gonna be another wicked hard day It’s gonna be another wicked hard day It’s gonna be another day to forget More dumb things I said, that I’ll live to regret Came to you for help, but got more of the same Looking for something more, but it never came Maybe I should have known to leave well enough alone Talked to myself too much on those long rides home Why am I so dumb, what do I have to do To get things back to the way they used to be with you I launched into space Thinking it would be a beautiful place But I was wrong as I usually am It’s gonna be another wicked hard day It’s gonna be another wicked hard day I can’t believe what I did, I threw it all away! It’s gonna be another wicked hard day.

I woke up this morning and got out of bed, against my better judgement! I was praying for sun I got the clouds again, to my disappointment! There was no surprise, got the message from your frown I guess I’ll hop the next train out of Covidtown. I tripped over the cat and cracked open my head, I passed out on the floor! I didn’t bother cleaning up where I bled, it doesn’t matter anymore! My love for you is not poetic or profound But it’s the last thing I got left in Covidtown. Just one more thing you should know, Next time I hear that whistle blow, I’ll be on the platform! Got one more thing left to do, I’m comin right home to you. I’ll be on the platform!

Girl please wait up for me I’m not running from you anymore Let’s stay together for a while Or at least until you don’t want to anymore Wondering down the road No comfort to be found, yeah I still remember from the past And it’s keeping me down… Oh just don’t ….Just don’t ask about tomorrow Just don’t ask about tomorrow… For there’s nothing you can do today that will ever let you say, about tomorrow. Seems like an eternity But I guess we really don’t know, yeah What are we going to say When we get, to the end of the road? Dreams they never come true They just get us through the day, yeah When you gonna wise up girl And throw everything away? Oh just don’t ….Just don’t ask about tomorrow Just don’t ask about tomorrow… For there’s nothing you can do today that will ever let you say, about tomorrow.

You came home late last night, thought you wanted to talk to me, but you walked right by Had some supper on the stove, but you didn’t even look there, you went straight to our room You didn’t make eye contact with me… Should I be sorry? I don’t know what I did, but I’ll try to fix it Should I be sorry? I wish I knew, how to please you It seems like I always get it wrong, should I be sorry? I remember once or twice, when I made you laugh, and it broke the ice And the smiles that you shared, they filled my heart, I was unprepared I fell so hard for you Should I be sorry? I don’t know what I did, but I’ll try to fix it Should I be sorry? I wish I knew, how to please you It seems like I always get it wrong, should I be sorry? I guess it’s my fault for hoping too hard for everything to work out Did you ever want me at all? I wanted you more, you wanted me less and now here we are The thought of starting over makes me want to cry So I’ll give it, one more try, cause I hate losing hope, then you might as well die I got one more idea left to do, try again with someone other than you I guess It just ain’t working out, Should I be sorry?

I’ll keep coming back as long as I can I love to see you singing with the band Maureen, Maureen, you can’t feel a love you ain’t ever seen. Maureen, Maureen, background vocals and tambourine Think twice Go slow. Let your mind work all alone. I know all you’ve heard are lies Empty words concealed and disguised Maureen, Maureen Thrown out of the house at seventeen Maureen, Maureen Background vocals and tambourine I don’t have to know where you’ve crossed the line We can take it slow, one step at a time. Maureen, Maureen There’s blood on your hands and hope in your dreams Maureen, Maureen Come with me to New Orleans Got friends there We can hide You can start healing from inside You can hold my hand, or let go We can’t predict tomorrow Maureen, Maureen Take a breath and float downstream Maureen, Maureen The worst of people is all you have seen I’d say trust me But I know That’s been told to you before When you don’t look past the day you’re in It doesn’t matter who you call a friend Maureen, Maureen You smiled and wrapped your arms around me Maureen, Maureen I guess I always knew you would leave Maureen, Maureen Thrown out of the house at seventeen Maureen, Maureen Background vocals and tambourine

It’s real easy to give everything when it’s what you want to do Then you’ll turn your back not throw a scrap to the ones who really need you. Can’t you see, what you’re doing, Natalie Can’t you be, someone you’re not, Natalie To the liars who make things so clear I guess that logic works for you And the first thing that your body feels, you accept forever, though it’s not true. Can’t you see, what you’re doing, Natalie Can’t you be, someone you’re not, Natalie Love and hate both grow Which one will you decide to sow? Drop to your knees and pray For a higher power to show you the way Though it might not make much sense at first give it a try see how you do Cause if someone’s first then someone’s last, did you ever think that it might be you? Can’t you see, what you’re doing, Natalie Can’t you be, someone you’re not, Natalie Someone you’re not, Natalie

I love you Kris That’s all I can say Everything I have is yours Just ask me You’ll get no funny stairs from behind my eyes No surprises God’s speed What the hell does that mean? Inflated images floating in a rain Getting my hair wet and soaking my brain Maybe I saw more than I should have seen But that’s the way I hoped things might have been I loved you Kris That was so long ago No idea where you are now Never saw you on a game show I was thinking about you just the other day You’re forever young Help me! I need you so much now Maybe I’ll be walking on down the avenue When I see a girl who looks a lot like you When I think about the words I’ll use to say hello Well your eyes met mine, and I think you know I loved you Kris I loved you Kris Help me, try to understand Show me, take me by the hand Hold me, never let me go Love me, always let me know Inflated images floating in a rain Getting my hair wet and soaking my brain Maybe I saw more than I should have seen But that’s the way I hoped things might have been I loved you Kris

Human, we are I don’t have to show you my scars You know I have them I know you have them, too. Feelings, laid bare Bare copper shining everywhere I saw a spark jump Where it wasn’t supposed to. You drank too much, you swore too much, and now I want to hold out my hand Congratulations, you made it through the day Congratulations, you made it through the day! You went, to bed So tired you thought you were dead But you didn’t sleep well just like the night before Got up, at five Cause that’s the only time That you can think straight Before you’re overwhelmed. The kids are crying, your boss keeps lying, but you made it through all the same Congratulations, you made it through the day Congratulations, you made it through the day! I just want to cry, I’m sick of this life But then you work for an hour, and everything’s’ alright. And when, you die God looks you right in the eye He says you done a good job Except for now and then But we’ll let, you ride Cause basically you’re a good guy There are no problems here You might even get bored. Then a truck roars by, you rub your eyes, and you realize you’re not dead. Congratulations, you made it through the day Congratulations, you made it through the day!

You never were like, anybody else Been this way forever, you learned to be yourself Never saw you discouraged, always loving life Especially with your kid brother, spinning 45s!

I love to hear you, singing along Thanks for being my friend for so long You’re sister #3!!! When summer sun is shining, you’ll be catching some rays Warm winds are blowing, through your long brown braids Your life is for living, come joy come pain Your life is for loving, again and again Oh I said Lucy, how did you know to be so strong when everything was so wrong Oh I said Lucy, how lucky for me, I met you, you’re my sister #3.

Amos Brown, grew up in town, where skin color didn’t matter No one’s dreams, got burst at the seams, torn apart or shattered All were treated the same, no matter their name, no matter where they were from Equality was reverently bestowed upon everyone. He grew up in a place, where foolishness didn’t rule The people with enough they weren’t so cruel. Amos Brown, heard the sound, of a rocket taking off He knew his place, would be in outer space, he became an astronaut. So much in store, new worlds to explore, he was smart and brave All the people came, on blast off day, to wish him well and wave. They heard a distant sound, from a world in the grand beyond. He wondered what kind of world he might land on! Amos Brown, Amos Brown, Amos Brown, Amos Brown The ship he was in, was built to win, against comets and asteroids But the team agreed, there’s no guarantee, that it wouldn’t be destroyed Two weeks in, his trip had been, exactly as they planned But even in high gear, and a thousand light years, Amos would be an old man He hopped into his pod, and closed the door on himself He took the little green pill on the shelf! Amos Brown had a dream, about a world he’d not yet seen He imagined it would be better than where he was from But it goes to show, what Amos did not know Sometimes there ain’t no place better, no place like home. Amos woke when the magic smoke circulated through pod. Brown sneezed and fell to his knees, he and cried thanked his God. A thousand years and all of his peers are what he left behind He’d lost control around a black hole and it shot him back in time. With Jupiter and Mars, well in his rear view He spotted Earth and hid behind the Moon. Amos Brown he scanned the ground and was shocked at what he saw I can’t believe, they look just like me, with two eyes a mouth and a jaw To end his trip he landed his ship and tested the air he’d breath He stepped outside and he felt great pride at what his people had achieved. He couldn’t sleep that night, and he looked up at the stars He thought this worlds’ as beautiful as ours Amos heard their spoken word, and he mastered it real fast He found work as a market clerk and earned himself some cash The whole country he wanted to see, bought a ticket for the Greyhound But being black he got sent to back, with the other folks who were brown He didn’t understand, why the bus was segregated. Where he came from the races weren’t separated. Amos Brown, Amos Brown, Amos Brown, Amos Brown, Amos Brown The bus he was on arrived at dawn at the Union Station The bus parked, he disembarked, on foot to see the nation He saw a crowd had gathered round a park with a great lawn A man spoke of love and hope, and to him Amos was drawn But when they started to march, the rocks and bricks did fly The man who spoke the truth was struck in the eye. Amos Brown looked around and he saw a great city Buildings high right to the sky but he shook his head in pity Northern bound it was profound everything they had attained But looking south he felt punched in the mouth by a world that was in pain Many things were right, but even more were wrong Cruelty to some is a crime to all Amos saw a mob at war with its fellow man They didn’t care about what’s fair or the hatred that they fanned Violence ruled and it was cruel, the bullies had their way They might learn when the tables turn if we ever reach that day He’d seen enough to know this world had not evolved He wondered if their problems would ever be solved Amos Brown realized, what he’d seen with his own eyes A world where love and hate were still at war And it goes to show, what Amos did not know Sometimes there ain’t no place better, no place like home.
