This has been one of my favorite songs since high school. It came out not long after one of my own incidents.

 

 

 

Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

 

 

Call you up in the middle of the night

Like a firefly without a light

You were there like a slow torch burning

I was a key that could use a little turning

 

So tired that I couldn't even sleep

So many secrets I couldn't keep

Promised myself I wouldn't weep

One more promise I couldn't keep

 

It seems no one can help me now

I'm in too deep

There's no way out

This time I have really led myself astray

 

Runaway train never going back

Wrong way on a one way track

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here no there

 

Can you help me remember how to smile

Make it somehow all seem worthwhile

How on earth did I get so jaded

Life's mystery seems so faded

 

I can go where no one else can go

I know what no one else knows

Here I am just drownin' in the rain

With a ticket for a runaway train

 

Everything is cut and dry

Day and night, earth and sky

Somehow I just don't believe it

 

Runaway train never going back

Wrong way on a one way track

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here no there

 

Bought a ticket for a runaway train

Like a madman laughin' at the rain

Little out of touch, little insane

Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never going back

Wrong way on a one way track

Seems like I should be getting somewhere

Somehow I'm neither here no there

 

Runaway train never comin' back

Runaway train tearin' up the track

Runaway train burnin' in my veins

Runaway but it always seems the same

Roulette by System Of A Down

 

 

 

 

I have a problem that I cannot explain

I have no reasons why it should have been so plain,

Have no questions but I sure have excuse

I lack the reason why I should be so confused, I know, how I feel when I'm around you,

I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you,

Around you, Left a message but it ain't a bit of use,

I have the pictures, the wild might be the deuce,

Today you called, you saw me, you explained,

Playing the show and running down the plane, I know, how I feel when I'm around you,

I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you,

I know, how I feel when I'm around you,

I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you,

Around you, I know, how I feel when I'm around you,

I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you,

I know, how I feel when I'm around you,

I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you,

Around you, Around you, Around you...

Muse - Map of the Problematique (Off their new CD, "Black Holes and Revelations", releasing 07/11/06... buy it or die!)

 

Fear and panic in the air

I want to be free

From desolation and despair

And I feel

Like everything I stole

Is being swept away

Well, I refuse to let you go

I can't get it right... since I met you

 

This is the Map of the Problematique

 

Life will flash before my eyes

So scattered and lost

I want to touch the other side

And the world

Thinks they are to blame

Why can't we see

When we bleed, we bleed the same

I can't get it right... since I met you

 

This is the Map of the Problematique...

 

 

 

Muse - Starlight (Also from their new CD)

 

Far away, this ship is taking me far away

Far away from the memories

Of the people who care if I live or die

The starlight, I will be chasing the starlight

Until the end of my life

I don't know if it's worth it anymore

 

Hold you in my arms

I just wanted to hold you in my arms

 

My life, you electrify my life

Lets conspire to ignite

All the souls that will die just to feel alive

I'll never let you go

If you promise not to fade away

Never fade away

 

And our hopes and expectations,

Black holes and revelations (x2)

 

Hold you in my arms

I just wanted to hold you in my arms

 

Far away, this ship is taking me far away

Far away from these memories

Of the people who care if I live or die

I'll never let you go

If you promise not to fade away

Never fade away

 

And our hopes and expectations,

Black holes and revelations (x2)

 

Hold you in my arms

I just wanted to hold you in my arms

I just wanted to hold...

One by Metallica is good too. Its about a WW1 soldier who was horribly injured,no arms,legs,speech,hearing or sight.

 

 

I can't remember anything

Can't tell if this is true or dream

Deep down inside i feel to scream

This terrible silence stops me

 

Now that the war is through with me

I'm waking up i can not see

That there is not much left of me

Nothing is real but pain now

 

Hold my breath as i wish for death

Oh please god,wake me

 

Back in the womb its much too real

In pumps life that i must feel

But can't look forward to reveal

Look to the time when i'll live

 

Fed through the tube that sticks in me

Just like a wartime novelty

Tied to machines that make me be

Cut this life off from me

 

Hold my breath as i wish for death

Oh please god,wake me

Now the world is gone i'm just one

Oh god,help me hold my breath as i wish for death

Oh please god help me

 

Darkness imprisoning me

All that i see

Absolute horror

I cannot live

I cannot die

Trapped in myself

Body my holding cell

 

Landmine has taken my sight

Taken my speech

Taken my hearing

Taken my arms

Taken my legs

Taken my soul

Left me with life in hell

My taste in music is constantly changing, so currently my two favorite song lyrics are Viva La Revolution - The Adicts and London Calling - The Clash...

 

Into the Dungeon with evil men

The people has risen we're free again

Come out of the closet

Come out of the hole

Come out of the woodwork

Come into the fold

Rebels and fighters, a license to kill

Unite with the bandits down from the hills

Open your windows

Open your doors

Open your minds

To a freedom of thought

Raise our voices, raise our flag

Smash the symbols of the life never had

Long live the symbols

Long live the scheme

Long live our hopes

Long live the dream

Dance in the streets at the carnival

Celebrate the victory now

Drink the wine from the rich man's cask

This revolution won't be the last

 

London calling to the faraway towns

Now that war is declared-and battle come down

London calling to the underworld

Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls

London calling, now don't look at us

All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust

London calling, see we ain't got no swing

'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

 

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in

Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin

A nuclear error, but I have no fear

London is drowning-and I live by the river

 

London calling to the imitation zone

Forget it, brother, an' go it alone

London calling upon the zombies of death

Quit holding out-and draw another breath

London calling-and I don't wanna shout

But when we were talking-I saw you nodding out

London calling, see we ain't got no highs

Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

 

Now get this

London calling, yeah, I was there, too

An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!

London calling at the top of the dial

After all this, won't you give me a smile?

 

I never felt so much a' like

 

I'll probably have a new favorite a week from now, don't worry, I won't post it.

Wish You Were Here (Waters, Gilmour)

 

So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from Hell,

Blue skys from pain.

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

 

And did they get you to trade

Your heros for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

And did you exchange

A walk on part in the war

For a lead role in a cage?

 

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl,

Year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have we found?

The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

Ojos Asi by Shakira. The song is in Spanish and Arabic.

 

Ayer conoci un cielo sin sol

y un hombre sin suelo

un santo en prision

y una cancion triste sin dueno

ya he ya he ya la he

y conoci tus ojos negros

ya he ya he ya la he

y ahora si que no

puedo vivir sin ellos yo

 

le pido al cielo solo un deseo

que en tus ojos yo pueda vivir

he recorrido ya el mundo entero

y una cosa te vengo a decir

viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut

fui desde el notre hasta el polo sur

y no encontre ojos asi

como los que tienes tu

 

rabbou ssamai fika rrajaii

fi ainaiha ara hayati

ati ilaika min hada lkaaouni

arjouka rabbi labbi nidai

viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut

fui desde el notre hasta el polo sur

y no encontre ojos asi

como los que tienes tu

 

Ayer vi pasar una mujer

debajo de su camello

un rio de sal un barco

abandonado en el desierto

ya he ya he ya la he

y vi pasar tus ojos negros

ya he ya he ya la he

y ahora si que no

puedo vivir sin ellos yo

 

le pido al cielo solo un deseo

que en tus ojos yo pueda vivir

he recorrido ya el mundo entero

y una cosa te vengo a decir

viaje Bahrien hasta Beirut

fui desde el notre hasta el polo sur

y no encontre ojos asi

como los que tienes tu

 

rabbou ssamai fika rrajaii

fi ainaiha ara hayati

ati ilaika min hada lkaaouni

arjouka rabbi labbi nidai

viaje Bahrein hasta Beirut

fui desde el notre hasta el polo sur

y no encontre ojos asi

como los que tienes tu

 

le pido al cielo solo un deseo

que en tus ojos yo pueda vivir

he recorrido ya el mundo entero

y una cosa te vengo a decir

viaje Bahrein hasta Beirut

fui desde el notre hasta el polo sur

y no encontre ojos asi

como los que tienes tu

I'm into the soulful beats of hip hop.. this is about love. a little poetic i think. from lauryn hill

 

When It Hurts So Bad

 

 

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

Why's it feel so good?

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

Why's it feel so good?

 

I loved real, real hard once

But the love wasn't returned

Found out the man I'd die for

He wasn't even concerned

I tried, and I tried, and I tried

To keep him in my life

I cried, and I cried, and I cried

But I couldn't make it right

But I, I loved the young man

And if you've ever been in love,

Then you'd understand

 

What you want might make you cry

What you need might pass you by

If you don't catch it,

If you don't catch it,

And what you need ironically

Will turn out what you want to be

If you just let it,

If you just let it

 

See, I thought this feeling

It was all that I had

But how could this be love

And make me feel so bad?

Gave up my power,

I existed for you

But whoever knew the voodoo you'd do?

But I, I loved the young man

And if you've ever been in love you'd understand

What you want might make you cry

What you need might pass you by

If you don't catch it

And what you need ironically

Will turn out what you want to be

If you just let it,

What you want might make you cry

What you need might pass you by

If you don't catch it

And what you need ironically

Will turn out what you want to be

If you just let it,

If you just let it

 

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

Why's it feel so good?

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

 

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

Why's it feel so good?

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad

Okay, I'm kinda with Julie on this one....do we really need to see the entire song? I'll just spit out a bunch of lines that come to mind right away.

 

First, the single greatest line in the history of music:

 

"been around the world and found

that only stupid people are breeding"

"Flagpole Sitta" - Harvey Danger

 

"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds"

"Redemption Song" - Bob Marley

 

"'Cause every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser

and the best you you can hope for is to die in your sleep"

"The Gambler" - Kenny Rogers

 

"I've been puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn, and a king

I've been up and down, and over and out, and I know one thing

Each time I find myself flat on my face

I pick myself up and get back in the race...that's life"

"That's Life" Written by: D. Kay, K. Gordon Sung by "The Chairman of the Board" (Google it kids

 

And I wanna be there

I wanna go back down and die beside the sea there

With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine

I'll be chewin' on a honeysuckle vine

"Tin Cup Chalice" - Jimmy Buffett (these won't be real popular, but they mean a lot to me)

 

I was supposed to have been a Jesuit Priest or a Naval Academy grad

That was the way that my parents perceived me, those were the plans that they had

But I couldn't fit the part, too dumb or too smart

Ain't it funny how we all turned out

I guess we are the people our parents warned us about

"We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About" - Jimmy Buffett

 

Reading departure signs in some big airport reminds me of the places I've been

visions of good times that brought so much pleasure makes me want to go back again

"Changes In Attitudes, Changes In Latitudes" - Jimmy Buffett

 

If our lives were that simple, we'd live in the past

if the phone doesn't ring, it's me

"If The Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me" - Jimmy Buffett

 

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl,

Year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have we found?

The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

"Wish You Were Here" (Waters, Gilmour) - Pink Floyd

 

 

And finally, one song in particualr that just couldn't be broken up. IMHO, it's the greatest rock song ever written. Each verse is brilliant on its own, but all together, the song is brilliant from beginning to end:

 

"Born to Run" - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Actually, its about Vietnam. You can hear the 7.62mmx39mm rounds(AK) and the .223 Rem, or 5.56mmx45mm NATO rounds from the M16s...

 

ALso, you can hear the claymores going off. A big clue are the Huey evac hellies.

Here are the Lyrics to one of Weird Al's best songs ever:

 

 

Dare to be Stupid

 

 

Put down your chainsaw and listen to me

It's time for us to join in the fight

It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys

It's time to let the bedbugs bite

 

You better put all your eggs in one basket

You better count your chickens before they hatch

You better sell some wine before it's/its time

You better find yourself an itch to scratch

 

You better squeeze all the Charmin you can while Mr. Wimpole's not around

Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan

 

Talk with your mouth full

Bite the hand that feeds you

Bite on more than you chew

What can you do

Dare to be stupid

 

Take some wooden nickles

Look for Mr. Goodbar

Get your mojo working now

I'll show you how

You can dare to be stupid

 

You can turn the other cheek

You can just give up the ship

You can eat a bunch of sushi and forget to leave a tip

 

Dare to be stupid

Come on and dare to be stupid

It's so easy to do

Dare to be stupid

We're all waiting for you

Let's go

 

It's time to make a mountain out of a molehill

So can I have a volunteer

There's no more time for crying over spilled milk

Now it's time for crying in your beer

 

Settle down, raise a family, join the PTA

Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevyrolet

And party 'till you're broke and they drive you away

It's OK, you can dare to be stupid

 

It's like spitting on a fish

It's like barking up a tree

It's like I said you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free

 

Dare to be stupid (yes)

Why don't you dare to be stupid

It's so easy to do

Dare to be stupid

We're all waiting for you

Dare to be stupid

 

Burn your candle at both ends

Look a gift horse in the mouth

Mashed potatoes can be your friends

 

You can be a coffee achiever

You can sit around the house and watch Leave It To Beaver

The future's up to you

So what you gonna do

 

Dare to be stupid

Dare to be stupid

What did I say

Dare to be stupid

Tell me, what did I say

Dare to be stupid

It's alright

Dare to be stupid

We can be stupid all night

Dare to be stupid

Come on, join the crowd

Dare to be stupid

Shout it out loud

Dare to be stupid

I can't hear you

Dare to be stupid

OK, I can hear you now

Dare to be stupid

Let's go, Dare to be stupid

Dare to be stupid

Dare to be stupid

Dare to be stupid

Dare to be stupid

Dare to be stupid

Dare to be stupid

Dare to be stupid

My Sweet Shadow by In Flames is cool.

 

I'm selling heavenly sketches

A world out of my mind

Ready to explode in purity to fill the holes inside

 

An ever moving stream with glowing rays of light

Emotions tied to pass lies and I know I should let go

 

Tamed with confidence of a brighter future

 

I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!

 

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold

Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more

 

Another dawn collapses

Do I need to be reminded

A glimpse of my safe home

A path to hide all anger

 

I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!

 

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold

Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more

 

In circles I catch

A torch carried by the immortal

From depths that I created

In vain echoes fade

 

Burn out!

 

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold

Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more

 

Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold

Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more

 

Fueled, Dark past lies cold

For you I look no more

Levan Polkka by Loituma.

 

Nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti

jalakani pohjii kutkutti.

Ievan äiti se tyttöösä vahti

vaan kyllähän Ieva sen jutkutti,

sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa

kun myö tanssimme laiasta laitaan.

Salivili hipput tupput täppyt

äppyt tipput hilijalleen.

 

Ievan suu oli vehnäsellä

ko immeiset onnee toevotti.

Peä oli märkänä jokaisella

ja viulu se vinku ja voevotti.

Ei tätä poikoo märkyys haittaa

sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.

Salivili hipput.

 

Ievan äiti se kammarissa

virsiä veisata huijjuutti,

kun tämä poika naapurissa

ämmän tyttöä nuijjuutti.

Eikä tätä poikoo ämmät haittaa

sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.

Salivili.

 

Siellä oli lystiä soiton jäläkeen

sain minä kerran sytkyyttee.

Kottiin ko mäntii ni ämmä se riitelj

ja Ieva jo alako nyyhkyytteek.

Minä sanon Ievalle mitäpä se haittaa

laskemma vielähi laiasta laitaa.

Salivili.

 

Muorille sanon jotta tukkee suusi

en ruppee sun terveyttäs takkoomaa.

Terveenä peäset ku korjoot luusi

ja määt siitä murjuus makkoomaa.

Ei tätä poikoo hellyys haittaa

ko akkoja huhkii laiasta laitaan.

Salivili.

 

Sen minä sanon jotta purra pittää

ei mua niin voan nielasta.

Suat männä ite vaikka lännestä ittään

vaan minä en luovu Ievasta,

sillä ei tätä poikoo kainous haittaa

sillon ko tanssii laiasta laitaan.

Salivili.

 

 

Not that I understand what they're saying, but it's fun to listen to it and try to read the lyrics at the same time.

Sufjan Stevens' "Casimir Pulaski Day"

 

Golden rod and the 4-H stone

The things I brought you

When I found out you had cancer of the bone

 

Your father cried on the telephone

And he drove his car to the Navy yard

Just to prove that he was sorry

 

In the morning through the window shade

When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade

I could see what you were reading

 

Oh the glory that the lord has made

And the complications you could do without

When I kissed you on the mouth

 

Tuesday night at the bible study

We lift our hands and pray over your body

But nothing ever happens

 

I remember at Michael's house

In the living room when you kissed my neck

And I almost touched your blouse

 

In the morning at the top of the stairs

When your father found out what we did that night

And you told me you were scared

 

Oh the glory when you ran outside

With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied

And you told me not to follow you

 

Sunday night when I cleaned the house

I find the card where you wrote it out

With the pictures of your mother

 

On the floor at the great divide

With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied

I am crying in the bathroom

 

In the morning when you finally go

And the nurse runs in with her head hung low

And the cardinal hits the window

 

In the morning in the winter shade

On the first of March on the holiday

I thought I saw you breathing

 

Oh the glory that the lord has made

And the complications when I see his face

In the morning in the window

 

Oh the glory when he took our place

But he took my shoulders and he shook my face

And he takes and he takes and he takes

Wake Up by Rage Against The Machine has good lyrics.

 

Uggh!

 

Come on, although ya try to discredit

Ya still never edit

The needle, I'll thread it

Radically poetic

Standin' with the fury that they had in '66

And like E-Double I'm mad

Still knee-deep in the system's s**t

Hoover, he was a body remover

I'll give ya a dose

But it'll never come close

To the rage built up inside of me

Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

 

Movements come and movements go

Leaders speak, movements cease

When their heads are flown

'Cause all these punks

Got bullets in their heads

Departments of police, the judges, the feds

Networks at work, keepin' people calm

You know they went after King

When he spoke out on Vietnam

He turned the power to the have-nots

And then came the shot

 

Yeah!

Yeah, back in this...

Wit' poetry, my mind I flex

Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse

Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up

To shake ya up, to break the structure up

'Cause blood still flows in the gutter

I'm like takin' photos

Mad boy kicks open the shutter

Set the groove

Then stick and move like I was Cassius

Rep the stutter step

Then bomb a left upon the fascists

Yea, the several federal men

Who pulled schemes on the dream

And put it to an end

Ya better beware

Of retribution with mind war

20/20 visions and murals with metaphors

Networks at work, keepin' people calm

Ya know they murdered X

And tried to blame it on Islam

He turned the power to the have-nots

And then came the shot

 

Uggh!

What was the price on his head?

What was the price on his head!

 

 

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard, I think I heard a shot

 

'He may be a real contender for this position should he

abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine

of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'

'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to

pinpoint potential trouble-makers...And neutralize them,

neutralize them, neutralize them'

 

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

 

How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what you sow

There is also this classic by Ray Stevens:

 

 

The Streak

 

 

Hello everybody, this is your action news reporter

With all the news that is news across the nation

On the scene at the super market

There seems to have been some disturbance here

Pardon me sir, did you see what happened?

Yeh, I did...I was standing over there by the tomatoes

And here he come

Running thru the pole beans, thru the fruits and vegetables

Naked as a jay-bird

And I hollered over at Ethel...Isaid don't look Ethel

It was too late, she'd already been incensed...

 

Chorus

 

Here he comes, boogie-dy, boogie-dy

There he goes, boogie-dy, boogie-dy

And he ain't wearin' no clothes

Oh yes, they call him the streak

Fastest thing on two feet

He's just as proud as he can be

Of his anatomy

He's gonna give us a peek

Oh yes, they call him the streak

He likes to show off his physique

If there's an audience to be found

He'll be streakin' around

Invitin' public critique...

 

 

This is your action news reporter once again

And we're here at the gas station

Pardon me sir, did you see what happened?

Yeh, I did...I was just in here gettin' my tires checked

And he just appeared out of the traffic

Come streakin' around the grease rack there

Didn't have nothing on but a smile

I looked in there and Ethel was gettin' her a cold drink

I hollered...Don't look Ethel

It was too late...She'd already been mooned

Flashed her right there in front of the shock absorbers

 

 

Chorus

 

He ain't rude, boogie-dy, boogie-dy

He ain't lewd, boogie-dy, boogie-dy

He's just in the mood to run in the nude

 

Oh yes, they call him the streak

He likes to turn the other cheek

He's always making the news

Wearin' just his tennis shoes

Guess you could call him unique...

 

 

Once again, your action news reporter in the booth at the gym

Covering the disturbance at the basketball playoffs

Pardon me sir, did you see what happened?

Yeh, I did...half-time, I was just going down there

To get Ethel a snow cone

Here he come right our of the cheap seats

Dribblin'...right down the middle of the court

Didn't have on nothin' but his PF's

Made a hook shot and got out thru the concession stand

I hollered up at Ethel, I said don't look Ethel

It was too late...She'd already got a free shot

Grandstanded...Right there in front of the home team

 

 

Here he comes...look...who's that with him?

Ethel, is that you, Ethel?

What do you think you're doing?

You get your clothes on!

 

 

Ethel, where you going?

Ethel, you shameless hussy

Say it isn't so Ethel

Ethel..................

I have a few but I won't post 'em all at once.

 

1st: "Black Horse & The Cherry Tree" - KT Tunstall

 

Two, three, four

 

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

 

Well my heart knows me better than I know myself

So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

I came across a place in the middle of nowhere

With a big black horse and a cherry tree.

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

 

I fell in fear, upon my back

I said don't look back, just keep on walking.

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

When the big black horse said, "LOOK THIS WAY"

He said, "Hey little lady, will you marry me?"

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

 

But I said no, no, no,no-no-no

It said no, no, you're not the one for me

No, no, no,no-no-no

It said no, no, you're not the one for me

 

(ooooo,woo-hoo)

 

And my heart had a problem, in the early hours,

So it stopped it dead for a beat or two.

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done that,

And it won't forgive me after all these years

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

 

So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere

With a big black horse and a cherry tree.

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

Now it won't come back, cause it's oh so happy

And now I've got a hole for the world to see

(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)

 

But it said no, no, no,no-no-no

It said no, no, you're not the one for me

No, no, no,no-no-no

Said no, no, you're not the one for me

 

(ooooo,woo-hoo) (not the one for me, yeah)

(ooooo,woo-hoo)

Said no,no, no,no, no, no, no

You're not the one for me

Said no,no, no,no, no, no, no

You're not the one for me

 

Big black horse and a cherry tree

I can't quite get that cause my heart's forsaken me

Big black horse and a cherry tree

I can't quite get that cause my heart's forsaken me

 

This song's about...who knows but KT. I suspect it's about a black horse and a cherry tree...

The rest will come...EVENTUALLY!! (lol)

My mother went away for a month-long trip

Her and some friends on an ocean-liner ship

She made a big mistake by leaving me home

I had to roam so I picked up the phone

Dialed Ali up to see what was going down

Told him I pick him up so we could drive around

Took the Dodge Dart, a '74

My mother left a yard but I needed one more

Shaheed had me covered with a hundred greenbacks

So we left Brooklyn and we made big tracks

drove down the Belt, got on the Conduit

Came to a toll, we paid and went through it

Had no destination, we was on a quest

Ali laid in the back so he could get rest

Drove down the road for two-days-and-a-half

The sun had just risen on a dusty path

Just then a figure had caught my eye

A man with a sombrero who was four feet high

I pulled over to ask were we was at

His index finger he tipped up his hat

"El Segundo," he said, "my name is Pedro

If you need directions, I'll tell you pronto"

Needed civilization, some sort of reservation

He said a mile south, there's a fast food station

Thanks, senior, as I start up the motor

Ali said, "Damn, Tip, why you drive so far for?"

 

(Well describe to me what the wallet looks like)

 

Anyway a gas station we passed

We got gas and went on to get grub

It was a nice little pub in the middle of nowhere

Anywhere would have been better

I ordered enchiladas and I ate 'em

Ali had the fruit punch

When we finished we thought for ways to get back

I had a hunch

Ali said, "Pay for lunch"

So I did it

Pulled out the wallet and I saw this wicked beautiful lady

She was a waitress there

Put the wallet down and stared and stared

To put me back into reality, here's Shaheed:

"Yo, Tip, man, you got what you need?"

I checked for keys and started to step

What do you know, my wallet I forget

 

Yo, it was a brown wallet, it had props numbers

Had my jimmy hats I got to get it man

 

Lord, have mercy

The heat got hotter, Ali stars to curse me

I fell bad but he makes me feel bad-er

Chit-chit-chatter, car stars to scatter

Breaking on out, we was Northeast bound

Jettin' on down at the speed of sound

Three days coming and three more going

We get back and there was no slack

490 Madison, we're here, Sha

He said, "All right, Tip, see you tomorrow"

Thinking about the past week, the last week

Hands go in my pocket, I can't speak

Hopped in the car and torpe'ed to the shack

Of Shaheed, "We gotta go back" when he said

"Why?" I said, "We gotta go

'Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo"

 

Yeah, I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

I gotta get, I got-got ta get it
