I met a magic man, who had a daughter
She learned her lessons well, but still I taught her
She followed willingly, As lambs to slaughter
We shared forbidden fruits, and things I brought her
You may say I'm a miracle man that can
Here I come with my mystical plan again
Although you think I can
I'm just a man
And I don't Walk on Water (oh no)
I don't Walk on Water (oh no)
I followed willingly, her sweet temptation
She had me hypnotized, and still I'm waiting
My dramadery beads, As winters ocean
Wet sand with bearing seas, She set in motion
You may say I'm a cynical charlatan
There I go with my whimsical ways again
Although you think I can
I'm just a man
And I don't Walk on Water (oh no)
Your life is scattered with lies that you look in the mirror
And the longers getting shorter as the bottoms now nearer
Are you just a mirage standing in front of me
Am I blind?
Can my eyes really see?
You may say I'm a miracle man that can
Here I come with my mystical plan again
Although you think I can
I'm just a man
And I don't Walk on Water
(my dramadery beads as winters ocean
wet sand with bearing seas, she set in motion)
(my dramadery beads) (3x)
I leave my son the legacy of danger,
The tragedy of synthesizing rhymes,
The genocide that comes from total strangers,
Apocalyptic dreams to kill mankind.
I see the mystery unwind, my spirit’s telling me,
The sky is dying, and the whole world’s falling down.
Don’t buy your fate from media messiahs,
God gave you breath, don’t blow it all away.
I see the misery unwind, you must be stupid or be blind,
My spirit’s telling me,
The sky is crying, burning holes in to the ground,
The sky is dying, and the whole world’s falling down.
Why can’t you see or don’t you know,
You only reap the seeds you sow. OH NO!
I see the misery unwind, you must be stupid or be blind,
My spirit’s telling me,
The sky is crying, burning holes in to the ground,
Messiah’s coming, but will he hang around,
‘Cause the sky is dying, and the whole world’s falling down.
The sky is dying, falling to the ground.
The sky is dying, falling to the ground.
The sky is dying, falling to the ground.
The sky is dying, falling to the ground.
I gave you all that you wanted,
And still you came back for more,
You say that your broken-hearted,
But then you walk out the door.
Maybe its time for us to say goodbye,
Where are the tears you never cried.
Hey baby what you got on your mind,
Are you looking for some sympathy, yeah
I can’t tell if it’s the truth or a lie,
‘Cause it just like living, living with the enemy.
You got me going in circles,
I’m slowly losing my head,
What did I do to deserve this,
You make me wish I was dead.
Tell me I’m wrong and I’ll be on my way,
See you around another day.
Hey baby what you doing tonight,
Are you giving me the perfect dream, yeah
I’m so tired and I don’t want to fight,
‘Cause it’s just like living, living with the enemy.
Hey baby what you doing tonight,
Are you giving me the perfect dream, yeah
I’m so tired and I don’t want to fight,
‘Cause it’s just like living, living with the enemy
With the enemy, enemy (repeat)
What kind of person lives behind that face,
Inside your midnight eyes I’m staring into space,
I don’t understand, what kind of man do you think I am.
I’m falling out of control,
you took my body and you tore out my soul,
I don’t understand, I’m just a simple man I am. I am.
I don’t really give a damn, you take me just the way I am,
And only I have the answer.
I’m not owned by Uncle Sam, and you’re still guessing who I am,
I’m you’re voodoo dancer. Voodoo dancer.
Consider my feelings just one time,
I’ve done my sentence even though there was no crime,
I’m an innocent man,
I should have learned to walk before I ever ran. I’m still running.
I don’t really give a damn, you take me just the way I am,
And only I have the answer.
I’m not owned by Uncle Sam, and you’re still guessing who I am,
I’m you’re voodoo dancer. Voodoo dancer.
You’ll never know the secrets that I have inside my head, I’m clever.
My crystal ball that tells me all the things I wanna know forever.
Now I’m feeling the emptiness inside,
Still concealing all the things I try to hide,
I don’t understand.
I don’t really give a damn, you take me just the way I am,
And only I have the answer.
I’m not owned by Uncle Sam, and you’re still guessing who I am,
Yes, I’m you’re voodoo dancer.
I don’t really give a damn, you take me just the way I am,
And I have the ultimate answer.
I’m not owned by any man, and now you know just who I am,
Yes, I’m your voodoo dancer.
Voodoo dancer.
Voodoo dancer.
Your voodoo dancer.
Would you like to come and play in my fantasy.
They’ll be no one there, baby, just you and me.
Tell me what do I do about it,
When you break down and cry,
I try to give you all my love and affection,
Please believe me, I try.
Oh, Aimee, I know I’ve been unkind,
I guess I wasn’t much of a friend,
Oh, Aimee, lets leave it all behind,
‘Cause I’m gonna love ya, I’m gonna love ya,
I’m gonna love ya till the end.
Aimee, there’s so much you give me,
So much to live for,
When I’m feeling down you just turn it around,
And the pain isn’t there anymore.
Oh, Aimee, I know I’ve been unkind,
I guess I wasn’t much of a friend, oh yeah
Oh, Aimee, lets leave it all behind,
‘Cause I’ll always love ya, I’ll always love ya,
I’ll always love ya till the end.
(Angel in the night) Come and be my angel in the night,
(Angel in the night) Come and be my angel in the night,
(Angel in the night) Won’t you be my angel in the night,
(Aimee).
Don’t ever tell me lies, ‘cause I’ve always been a friend,
And I’m gonna love ya, I’m gonna love ya,
I’m gonna gonna love ya till the end.
So tell me what do I do about it,
When you break down and cry,
I try to give you all my love and affection,
Please believe me, I try.
Oh, Aimee, I know I’ve been unkind,
I know I wasn’t much of a friend, oh yeah,
Aimee, let’s leave it all behind,
‘Cause I’m gonna love ya, I’m gonna love ya,
I’m gonna love ya till the end.
(Angel in the night) Come and be my angel in the night,
(Angel in the night) Come and be my angel in the night,
(Angel in the night) Come and be my angel in the night,
(Aimee). Please be my angel in the night.
I’ll always be your angel.
I don’t want to be your hero
I don’t want to ever let you down
No, I don’t want to let you down.
I can try to take you higher
But I don’t want to wear your broken crown
You know it brings me down.
Don’t think you’ll ever understand me
I don’t even understand me
Don’t have the power to anoint you
And I don’t want to disappoint the fools no more.
The fools no more.
I couldn’t answer all your questions
And if your lost I couldn’t find your way
I couldn’t find your way.
You know you have to face the music
You change your tune and don’t know what to play
So don’t you run away.
Everybody’s talking crazy
Some think I am a dare now maybe
I don’t want to here about it
Don’t want to have to scream and shout at fools no more.
The fools no more.
So, I don’t want to be your hero
Don’t want to sit upon your crippled throne
I’ve got a life of my own.
I am not your destination
Or a road thats gonna lead you home
So baby please don’t go.
Please don’t go
Please don’t go
Please don’t go (repeat).
Get it up, keep it up as good as you can
The change is as good as the rest
Is it to be or not to be when it hits the fan
This is the ultimate test.
One up the b-side.
One up the b-side.
Sing it or shout it out, the bent overature
Let me hear it at my request
You may think its funny but I don’t know why
It gets it all off your chest.
One up the b-side.
One up the b-side.
(guitar solo)
One up the b-side.
One up the b-side.
I gotta do it just another time
Or else I’m gonna lose my mind
The answers simple and it’s straight to the point
You can see it coming from behind.
One up the b-side.
One up the b-side.
One up the b-side.
Hey bro, take it slow
You ain't livin' in a video
You're flying low with a high velocity
No doubt, you're stressin' out
That ain't what rock 'n' roll's about
Get off that one way trip down lonely street.
Now I know you've been kicked around
You ain't alone in this ugly town
You stick a needle in your arm
You bite the dust, you buy the farm.
Chorus:
Hey,hey,hey, hey, hey stoopid
What ya tryin' to do
Hey,hey,hey,hey, hey stoopid
They win you lose
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid.
C'mon girl, it's a better day
Get your foot out of that grave
Don't let that one love tear your world apart
C'mon babe, kick that stuff
Show the street it ain't so tough
Quit lyin' around with a crippled, broken heart.
Now I know you've been seeing red
Don't put a pistol to your head
Sometimes your answer's heaven sent
Your way is so damn permanent.
Chorus
This ain't your daddy talkin'
You know, I know
Your story ain't so shocking
Blow some steam
C'mon and scream.
Chorus
When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew
I thought I was the chosen one
But time went by and I found out a thing or two
My shine wore off as time wore on
I thought that I was living out the perfect life
But in the lonely hours when the truth begins to bite
I thought about the times when I turned my back & stalled.
I ain't no nice guy after all
When I was young I was the only game in town
I thought I had it down for sure
But time went by and I was lost in what I found
The reasons blurred, the way unsure
I thought that I was living life the only way
But as I saw that life was more than day to day
I turned around, I read the writing on the wall.
I ain't no nice guy after all
I ain't no nice guy after all
In all the years you spend between your birth and death
You find there's lots of times you should have saved your breath
It comes as quite a shock when that trip leads to a fall.
I ain't no nice guy after all
I ain't no nice guy after all
repeat 1st verse
Well I got a funny feelin' but I'm gonna stay cool
Something's telling me I'm gonna break all the rules
Let me tell ya, I'm not insecure
But I got an empty feelin', think that you got the cure
You said it all
You've got to stay
To proud to fall
No more to say
Well I'm feelin' sober but I'm high on a throne
Like a demon sick and sick and tired of being alone
I've made a bed that is hard to lie in
But if loving you is wrong, can't do nothing but sin
You said it all
You've go to stay
To proud to fall
No more to say
(solo)
(repeat chorus)
Let them hang me, they would if they knew
Even half the things I've been doing with you
Walk me to the gallow and drop me through the floor
And watch me swingin' and I still want you more
You said it all
You've go to stay
To proud to fall
No more to say
When I look up to the sky
I see your eyes in a funny kind of yellow
I rush to bed, I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired still yawning
See your face come gleaming through my window
Oh no
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Images of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you
Windows echo your reflection
When I look in their direction gone
Yeah their gone
When will this haunting stop
Your face just won't keep me alone
Oh no
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Images of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you
You in the sky
You windy sky
You make men cry
You lie
You in the sky
You windy sky
You make men cry
You lie
You in the sky
You windy sky
You make men cry
You lie
Pictures of matchstick men ( X 5)
I can see those matchstick men
I can see those matchstick men
I can see those matchstick men
(repeats)
