Oh babe you got a real sad story man I cried before it got half told About love being lost forgotten stolen borrowed bought and sold I got way more love than your sick little heart can hold Let the waves come crashing down let your sails unfold I wanna take you around the world I'm gonna be your flagship girl Are you ready Can you leave with me now And see the whole wide world I'm gonna be your flagship girl Get ready Can you pack your things and run with me tonight Aw come on Babe it's your last shot last call last chance to leave this town Your little lifeboat's leaking bad and you're gonna drown Babe it brings me down to see you can't hold your head up high anymore Maybe we can find little place for ourselves on some distant shore I wanna take you around the world I'm gonna be your flagship girl Are you ready Can you leave with me now And see the whole wide world I'm gonna be your flagship girl Get ready Can you pack your things and run with me Tonight I'm gonna love you baby with all my heart and might Vudi I wanna take you around the world I'm gonna be your flagship girl Are you ready Can you leave with me now And see the whole wide world I'm gonna be your flagship girl Get ready Can you pack your things and run with me

You always lie to me and that's all right with me The truth don't make no sense to me anyway That's OK I'm never gonna get away from sitting all alone in this hole every day I came to you for love and affection You sent me up to the house of correction But you're never gonna break my heart You're never gonna break never gonna break my heart never gonna break my heart You can loot my trailer and do it with a sailor But you're never gonna break my heart When I first fell for you it must've been hell for you You didn't wanna listen to a thing I was telling you I was talking and thinking You were walking and drinking Sinking and you sunk finally into my arms You were too stinking drunk to remember the night I won't forget Baby you're never gonna break my heart Never gonna break never gonna break my heart never gonna break my heart You can kiss my cousin and marry a couple dozen But you're never gonna break my heart I never should've shot your mangy old dog and your alcoholic daddy in his alcohol fog I never should've killed your mean little brother and your snot nose sister too Now I'm sitting here up in the big house baby just wishing I just shot you But you're never gonna break my heart No you're ever gonna break never gonna break my heart never gonna break my heart You can give me a wedgie and a swirly too But you're never gonna break my heart

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe Beware Beware the Jabberwock The jaws that bite the claws that catch Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch He took his vorpal sword in hand Long time the manxome foe he sought So rested he by the Tumtum tree And stood awhile in thought And, as in uffish thought he stood The Jabberwock with eyes of flame Came whiffling through the tulgey wood And burbled as it came One two One two And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker snack He left it dead and with its head He went galumphing back And hast thou slain the Jabberwock Come to my arms my beamish boy O frabjous day Callooh Callay He chortled in his joy Twas brillig and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe

I open my eyes in the middle of a long night And see you sleeping like an angel You look so happy there in your own sweet world Is it better without me Are you out of love Are you giving up Did you get enough Of my loving cup I go back to sleep Maybe by morning light My thoughts won't run so crazy And I'll ask you these questions But perhaps only time will tell me what I need to know Are you out of love Are you giving up Did you get enough Of my loving cup Are you out of love Are you out of patience Are we out of time Am I out of luck Or am I out of my mind I just don't know Maybe it'll be all right Maybe this is all just my imagination And we'll be happy together in our own sweet world Forever and always Or are you out of love Are you giving up Did you get enough Of my loving cup Or am I just a fool To live in all this doubt The only thing I know is I can't live without You

I Will Go On 03:42
I don't understand much about love or much about you I'd like to go out dancing tonight like we used to do But I know you won't go anywhere now with me And I know there's no way it could possibly be It's a worn out romance And I don't stand a chance Cause we're through me and you But I know that when you said that you were leaving me That I knew you were already gone And I know every day you get further away And I don't know how I will go on I will go on and get up and work from sun to sun each day I will go on and do the things I usually do I will go on even though God knows I can't I know I will I will go on and love you without you There's not anything wrong with me what's the matter with you Don't take advice from your so-called friends do what you wanna do So come on now come on have a good time with me Cause you know in your heart that's the way it should be Let's go check out the scene If you know what I mean Just us two me and you But I know that when you said that you were leaving me That I knew you were already gone And I know every day you get further away And I don't know how I will go on I will go on and get up and work from sun to sun each day I will go on and do the things I usually do I will go on even though God knows I can't I know I will I will go on and love you without you

Here they come again Here they come again I can't hang around with your empty promises You know you don't know what a heavy time this is I'll go my own way I'm leaving today I can't hang around with your empty promises I've seen my dreams coming down like rain I've prayed these showers would bring me flowers and here they come again Here they come again Empty promises Here they come again Empty promises I'm no longer holding onto these things I've got to give I won't wait around for you to tell me when it's time to live A song is not a song until somebody sings along I'm no longer holding onto these things I've got to give I've seen my dreams coming down like rain I've prayed these showers would bring me flowers and here they come again Here they come again Empty promises Here they come again Empty promises Here they come

Some of my friends tell me I'm good looking and I feel your big old green eyes cooking Burning a couple of holes In the side of my big fat head You're like a scared bunny standing and staring Full of self doubt and without any daring Maybe you should go on home and go back to bed Well you're actually kind of cute right there With your eyeballs popping and your jaw bone dropping I'm watching you watching me in the reflection in the glass I don't know what's stopping you from hopping on over Have you never seen a four leaf clover Red rover red rover come on move your ass I'm ready What's up doc you're starting yo bug me I got no carrots but I'll let you hug me Tell that doe in the hole goodbye You're gonna leave her for beaver tonight Cause this wide receiver's gonna give you a buck fever But you're gonna have to see her if you wanna believe her So hippity hop jack rabbit do it right Well you're actually kind of cute right there With your eyeballs popping and your jawbone dropping I'm watching you watching me in the reflection in the glass I don't know what's stopping you from hopping on over Have you never seen a four leaf clover Red rover red rover come on move your ass I'm ready You just keep gawking you should've been walking And talking and asking my name I guess you need nudging and I'm not big on judging But at least one of us has game What you gonna do when I come up to you with my 24 karat smile Are you gonna look away when I give you my number Or just keep staring a while Well you're actually kind of cute right there With your eyeballs popping and your jawbone dropping Watching me watching you in the reflection in the glass I don't know what's stopping you from hopping on over Have you never seen a four leaf clover Red rover red rover come on move your ass Move that ass

Creep 04:30

I try not to think about it Try to chase the voices from my head But when they guilt's about to eat me I pretend I'm pretending that you're dead I see you walking down the subway steps I could almost touch your face Almost I wonder why you're so transparent I remind myself you're just a ghost Cause I'm a killer in my mind When the voices in my head are too unkind I'm a killer in my head When the choices I have made filled me with dread I'm a Killer I guess I lost my head that day When I came down and blew yours away I didn't really mean it It was only for a minute But now time is useless to us anyway Cause I'm a killer in my mind When the voices in my head are too unkind Just a killer in my head When the choices I have made filled me with dread I'm a killer And when I notice that I'm in here doing time I tell myself it's for a lesser crime I'm a killer
