TODAY RIOT
Love You Tomorrow I’ll love you tomorrow, you promise me Swear you love me tomorrow, you say to me Catch me unawares tomorrow, maybe? I’ll love you tomorrow, I say, yes, and I would have been with you tonight had we had the chance… when you hear this tomorrow, assume that my lover and I are together Living and loving it up in sweet harmony not a crumb falls from our perfect worlds And assume we’re still lovers For a hundred miles down the road hasn’t come yet and we don’t know when it will
Swinging Doors Those swinging doors a hundred miles an hour down the road Don’t you see, they may one day Lead both of us astray Don’t you see, dear, with parted lips questioning mine Beauty falling from our fingertips I might only leave you crying Or you might leave me in lies But nonetheless love, we are here Not yet down that road Give me a kiss, and one more hug And part until tomorrow Can’t stay- no way- we part until tomorrow
REPEAT repeat repeat repeat there’s some things I’d never do again but there are other events in place and time and space that if I had a chance I’d repeat repeat repeat them over and over and over again. that’s all I would do repeat repeat repeat I’d go back to my first kiss I’ d do it over and over again Until I’d found its secrets and moved on I’d take it apart I’d go back to when I met you and watch you move over and over again I’d learn your secrets and move on I’d watch you walk I’d go back to our first real sleepover I’d kiss you instead of him and I’d have wanted you instead I’d hold your hand repeat repeat repeat there’s nothing I would change if I came back- did it over and over and over again those one-time chances would lose their secrets everything’s on its own roller-coaster timetable I’d go back now through place and time and space and I’d change nothing
TODAY RIOT So I was listening to Ani on the way home today Home, home, home again And I'm watching myself write and I'm wondering what I am start a Riot start a Riot not a Riot of rocks and flames a Riot of the mind Dig deep back in our heads and see what we can find Cause I'm sick of looking at these same damn things all day let's have a Riot of precious things and throw them all away I still feel like shit over former love Feel like that over present ones too and the ones just above My head let's start a Riot Riot of love let's start a Riot Practice for the shove that comes when too much too soon too little too late all falls apart in our hands and it's left up to us to make it work we've got to deconstruct before we can build Anything of value in a tiny world that's filled up gives me chills start a Riot start a Riot right now we got to Try it Try, try, try to understand me I'm not asking anything more than democracy Hypocrisy Time for changes, I look around this little room and find some things out of place Crisis-filled tiny pills giving us chills cure our ills fill our spaces with TV faces Martha Stewart Living and I'll pack my suitcases cause I'm always ready to go out that door and if there's nothing on the other side I'll try and hit the floor Let's have a Riot right now yeah Riot, you and me we'll burn it all fucking down There must be something new to see I'm trying to live out my minutes among all this junk and I want to clear some space, space to spread my limbs invite beauty in let's have a Riot right now Riot in our minds I'll take all your shit out If you take out mine let's both run off us superstars break off take off make off with nobody's suitcases nobody else's face selling jewelry next to the road by the sea threading shells but not our own no strings attached except a few important ones we'll hold nothing except some songs past will be gone future long jump ahead baking bread, not making dough we'll do all that instead of education, a permanent vacation relaxation under the superstars we'll have nobody's right to fight except for ours let's start a Riot let's start a Riot Riot right now Riot right now Peace can be tension humming as long as I'm sure of the song I'm strumming Songs can be Riots of the minds Come on Riot, you and I So today I read the paper after I got home Article with picture about Ani, my how she's grown And I was thinking about friends and words when I read my horoscope it said some things are better left unsaid but my written words have never been stronger than they are today Strange- if things are better left unsaid, then what on earth should I write What on earth What on earth What on earth should I say start a Riot Inside your tiny planet tear it all apart then sit right down in the middle and plant it over again cause we gotta take things shake things make things grow if we don't then it'll all fall apart you know Take apart our attitudes see what makes them tick we might find some surprises things we didn't know to exist cause we gotta take things shake things make things grow if we don't we're all gonna fall apart you know Take apart your mind, cut out all your cords start a Riot start a Riot not a Riot of rocks and flames but a Riot in your head Take apart your mind, cut out all your cords
