You Know I'm No Good

Chop Suey!

Stay

The Ship Song

Come sail your ships around me

and burn your bridges down

we make a little history, baby

everytime you come around

come lose your dogs upon me

and let your hair hang down

you are a little mystery to me

everytime you come around

We talk about it all night long

we define our moral ground

but when i crawl into your arms

everything, it comes tumbling down

come sail your ships around me

and burn your bridges down

we make a little history, baby

everytime you come around

your face is falling sad now

before you know the time is now

when i must remove your wings

and you, you must learn to fly

Sail your ships around me

and burn your bridges down

we make a little history, baby

everytime you come around

come lose your dogs upon me

and let your hair hang down

you are a little mystery to me

everytime you come around

come sail your ships around me

and burn your bridges down

we make a little history, baby

everytime you come around

come lose your dogs upon me

and let your hair hang down

and you are a little mystery to me

everytime you come around

you come around

you come around

you come around

sail your ships...

Losing my religion

That's What I Like

I Put A Spell On You

Intro (xx)

"And once you're gone, you can never come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black."

Halo

Walk Unafraid

As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down
These heavy notions creep around
It makes me think, long ago
I was brought into this life a little lamb
A little lamb
Courageous, stumbling
Fearless was my middle name.
But somewhere there I lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they've laid
They claim to
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love or leave me high.

Say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play."
Say "contradiction only makes it harder."
How can I be
What I want To be?
When all I want to do is strip away
These stilled constraints
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love or leave me high.
 
If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
Look me in the eye
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when I fall to
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love or leave me high.
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love or leave me high.

The Sound of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again  
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence
 
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

People writing songs
That voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
 
"Fools" said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out it's warning
And the words that it was forming

And the sign said
"The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

Granița-n raniță

Eu mi-aş băga
Graniţa-n raniţă, ţara în raniţă
Şi... gata

M-aş stabili
Lângă o altă graniţă, le-aş scoate din raniţă
Şi... gata

I-aş păcăli, că n-ar şti,
Că am o ţară în raniţă şi-o graniţă-n raniţă
Şi... gata

Eu mi-aş băga
Viaţa în raniţă

M-aş stabili
Lângă o altă raniţă
Şi... gata

Eu mi-aş băga
Graniţa-n raniţă, ţara în raniţă
Şi... gata

M-aş stabili
Lângă o altă graniţă, le-aş scoate din raniţă
Şi... gata

I-aş păcăli, că n-ar şti,
Că am o ţară în raniţă şi-o graniţă-n raniţă
Şi... gata

Eu mi-aş băga
Viaţa în raniţă
M-aş stabili

Lângă o altă raniţă
Şi... gata

Gata!

Coșmar

 Ochii mei se-nchid încet, prada-i departe.
Știu că toți suntem datori cu o moarte.
În negura albă aud acel urlet,
Te scufunzi și-apari la mine în suflet.

Mă bântui, mă chinui și vreau să dispari,
Rezist tot mai greu, iar nopțile-s mari.
Mă bântui, mă chinui și vreau să dispari,
Rezist tot mai greu, iar nopțile-s mari.

Aștept noaptea rece să-nvaluie lumea,
Tremură sufletul, apare viziunea.
Un zgomot sinistru se-aude în beznă,
Și gheața îmi urcă mai sus de gleznă.

Mi-e trupul de piatră și țin moartea-n brațe,
Hidoase iubite atârnă de ațe.
Mi-e trupul de piatră și țin moartea-n brațe,
Hidoase iubite atârnă de ațe. 

 Mă bântui, mă chinui și vreau să dispari,
Rezist tot mai greu, iar nopțile-s mari.
Mi-e trupul de piatră și țin moartea-n brațe,
Hidoase iubite atârnă de ațe.

The Ship Song

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down.
We make a little history baby
Every time you come around.

Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh 

 When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly...

Don't swallow the cap

 I'm not alone,
I'll never be
 Into the bone,
I'm evergreen,
 And if you want, (too seriously)
To see me cry, (don't swallow the cap) 
Play "Let it Be" (pat yourself on the back)
Or "Nevermind" (too seriously)

 

There is a time to leave, there is a time to think about 
What I want to say to the girls at the door   
I need somewhere to be 
But I can't get around the river in front of me
Calm down, it's alright
Leave my arms the rest of the night
When they ask what do I see
I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin over me
