"Daddy-O"

"Daddy-O"


Daddy-o, daddy-o when I close my eyes
There's a cyclone there and I want to rise
An electric train to a long lost world
To a land of a thousand dancing girls
Come to me, my daddy-o
Take me where I want to go
To the world I left behind
To the Coney Island line
Oh daddy-o, daddy-o
Daddy tell me the tale that the captain told
When the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled
We will all be safe, we will be there soon
We will all have fun when we reach the moon
Come to me, my daddy-o
Take me where I want to go
To the moon I left behind
Down the Coney Island line
Oh daddy-o, daddy-o
Daddy-o, daddy-o, can you make me feel
Like the way I did on the Wonder Wheel
Can you love me now as you loved me then
Can you dream that parachute dream again
Come to me, my daddy-o
Take me where I want to go
To the dream I left behind
Down the Coney Island line
Come to me, my daddy-o
Take me where I want to go
To the world I left behind
To the Coney Island line
Oh daddy-o, daddy-o
Oh daddy-o, daddy-o

"Dark Eyes"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"Dark Eyes"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



Oh, the gentlemen are talking
And the midnight moon is on the riverside
They're drinking up and walking
And it is time for me to slide
I live in another world where life and death are memorized
Where the earth is strung with lovers' pearls
And all I see are dark eyes

A cock is crowing far away
And another soldier's deep in prayer
Some mother's child has gone astray
She can't find him anywhere
But I can hear another drum
Beating for the dead that rise
Nature's beast fears as they come
And all I see are dark eyes

They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes
They tell me revenge is sweet
And from where they stand, I'm sure it is
But I feel nothing for their game
Where beauty goes unrecognized
All I feel is heat and flame
And all I see are dark eyes

Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise
And a drunken man is at the wheel
Hunger pays a heavy price
To the falling gods of speed and steel
Oh, time is short and the days are sweet
And passion rules the arrow that flies
A million faces at my feet
And all I see are dark eyes

"Dead Roses"

"Dead Roses"


Do you think about the days when we were in love
When a whispered word could send us both to heaven
Now I press a kiss but I know it doesn't move you
It's time for me to let it go

Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Dead silence where your promise used to be
You don't love me anymore but I'd rather be with you
Dead roses are still beautiful to me

Well, I still hang around put money in the jukebox
Play those songs, let them ring the tears from me
Friends all shake their heads and tell me to go on home
But that's where all those memories will be

Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Dead silence where your promise used to be
You don't want me anymore but I'd rather be with you
Dead roses are still beautiful to me

Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Dead silence where your promise used to be
You don't want me anymore but I'd rather be with you
Dead roses are still beautiful to me

Dead roses are still beautiful to me

"Dracula Moon"

"Dracula Moon"


Where are the bones on that one?
What if the cure is worse than the disease?
Serve me up some pretty, pretty people
Serve me up somebody I can believe
Don't feel sorry for me
I hate that look on your face
You say, "Just let go"
You say, "come back home"
I say, "I'm just fallin' from grace"
I'm naked in a hotel room
My station comin' in, comin' in loud and clear
I'm makin' out with my one true love
I'm makin' this hotel room disappear
Stop feelin' sorry for me
I hate that look on your face
You say, "Just let go"
You say, "come back home"
I say, "I'm just fallin' from grace"
Said that I'm like fallin' from grace
You'd never know it to look at me
Under the Dracula moon
Love comes down any way it wants to
Doesn't ask for your permission
Open up your arms or it will break you in two
Stop feelin' sorry for me
I hate that look on your face
You say, "Just let go"
You say, "Come back home"
I say, "I'm just fallin' from grace"
Said that I'm just fallin' from grace
Just fallin'
Just fallin'...
(I'm smooth and heavy all over the world
I'm smooth and heavy all over the world?)

"Dreamin' About The Day"

"Dreamin' About The Day"


The sun goes down too early
The wind goes down my back just like it owns me
I work my job I get my check
I'm tryin' not to let myself get lonely
I'm just dreamin' about the day that I can
Show you all the love I've got for you
I used to hear my heart cry out
I used to feel it pound in me
I used to think It'd break me right in two
Now that seems so long ago
I'm feelin' like there's nothin' I can't do
I'm just dreamin' about the day when I can
Show you all the love I've got for you
Sometimes I can see your face
Taste your lovin' in my mouth
Baby I am comin' back for more
Can't you feel me comin'
Can't you see me comin'
Can't you hear me knockin' on your door?
I'm just dreamin' about the day when I can
Show you all the love I've got for you
I've got so much love for you

"Eliminate The Night"

"Eliminate The Night"


I don't wanna be the other woman
I know you're not the cheatin' kind
But I see you every night in a fever dream
I just can't get you out of my mind

I'll be alright
If you eliminate the night
I'll be okay
Take all these burnin' hours away
Oh, eliminate, eliminate the night

No other man in this room tonight, no other man in this town
Make me say these wicked words, make me lay my conscience down
Oh honey when it comes to you, I ain't got no shame
You can have me any way you like, you can call me by her name

I'll be alright
If you eliminate the night
I'll be okay
Take all these burnin' hours away
Oh, eliminate, eliminate the night

There's a lot o' men on the floor tonight and gonna give 'em each a dance
But I'm makin' my every move for you, I'm ridin' on your every glance
I could leave in the mornin' before you awake and I really wouldn't mind to pretend
That I never held you and you can go on home and this'll never happen again

I'll be alright
If you eliminate the night
I'll be okay
Take all these burnin' hours away

I'll be alright
If you eliminate the night
I'll be okay
Take all these burnin' hours away
Oh, eliminate, eliminate the night

Oh, eliminate, eliminate the night
Oh, eliminate, eliminate the night

"Everybody Is A Star"
(originally by Sly & The Family Stone)

"Everybody Is A Star"
(originally by Sly & The Family Stone)



Everybody is a star
Who can rain and chase the dust away
Everybody wants to shine
Ooh, come out on a cloudy day
'Til the sun that loves you proud
When the system tries to bring you down
Every hand to shine tonight
You don't need darkness to do what you think is right
Everybody is a star
I can feel it when you shine on me
I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be
Ever catch a falling star
Ain't no stopping 'til it's in the ground
Everybody is a star
One big circle going round and round

"Fingerprints"

"Fingerprints"


Why does it take so long for you to leave me
Once you've said goodbye
I wish it could be over quickly
Clean and painless and dry
But your kiss has left its taste with me
And your hands have left their mark
My ears are full of whispers
And murmurs in the dark
Why does it take so long for you to leave me
Now that you're not here
I wish that I could fight this feelin'
Make you disappear
But my body has a memory
And it holds you close within
The smell of you at midnight
The flavor of your skin
[CHORUS]
I feel your fingerprints
On my heart
I thought that I could handle you
I thought I was so smart
Now I feel your fingerprints
Nothin' I can do
Ain't it touching how I can't get over you
I can't believe I can't forget you
You didn't matter that much
Is it gonna take another man
To wash away your touch
[REPEAT CHORUS]

 

[fox69]

"Flyaway"

"Flyaway"


Don't ask her how she knows, but she knows
It's gonna be great
Don't ask her how she knows, but she knows
And she can't wait
Hey hey hey to flyaway
Number one for takeoff
To that big drowning pool in the sky
Number one for takeoff
And her dress wavin' you goodbye
Hey hey hey flyaway
Gone up in rapture
Gone see Your mother
Take off your heavy head
Gone up in rapture
Life's better when you're dead
Bones light as eggshells
Look down on Main Street
See all the people run
Laugh if you want to
She's goin' to the sun
Hey hey hey flyaway

"Get Up Jack"

"Get Up Jack"


Get up Jack, crack your head
Sweatin' whiskey in my bed
Ain't you heard a word I've said
Get up Jack
Get up Jack, read the news
See if you can tie your shoes
Find another friend to use
Get up Jack
[CHORUS]
And come down, come down
Long enough to see my face
Come down, come down
Get up Jack, run and hide
Tell us all how hard you tried
Burn your bridges, drown your pride
Get up Jack
Get up Jack, crack your head
Been so long since I fed
You ain't heard a word I've said
Get up Jack
[REPEAT CHORUS]
If I came in a bottle...
It was a mighty good year
How come I don't get you high
How come you're still here
God, you were so beautiful
I used to watch you sleep
God, God so beautiful
Too much promise to keep
Get up Jack, go to hell
Baby I can taste the smell
Wish I didn't, truth to tell
Know you, know you so damn well
Get up Jack
