Left your coat on the chair And the liquor we drank And it's like You're still around How I wish You were here with me now And the sound of your voice Still echoes so sweet And it's like You're still around How I wish You were here with me now Left your coat on the chair And the liquor we drank And it's like You're still around How I wish You were here with me now

On My Mind 02:15
Lighting up Every room That you walk in It's so shocking Just how beautiful you are Who you are Deep inside Such a joy To hang around you You're the brightest shining star You've been on my mind Taking all my time I'd be by your side if I could You've been on my mind Taking all my time I'd be by your side if you would Got a style All your own That's your beauty radiating Speaks to something deep in me Counting days Counting hours Till I see you Wanna be your Everything you'd ever need You've been on my mind Taking all my time I'd be by your side if I could You've been on my mind Taking all my time I'd be by your side if you would I would do anything Give you anything I had Just to have your company Work my fingers to the bone For the chance to deserve you And to have you Here with me You've been on my mind Taking all my time I'd be by your side if I could You've been on my mind Taking all my time I'd be by your side if you would

1986 01:44
Señor Antero rolled up in his Camaro With the arrow decals displayed Ready to blaze with the finest sub bass Rolling Preston Highway Dude in the back with a bed sheet Spray painting, "Metal up Louisville's ass" Ah, but alas, he got way too high And he fucked up the Metallica logo Yeah baby, Cliff Burton gave us the finger Like a stinger, and it lingered, And we damn nearly lost our minds And we searched and destroyed Making noise with the boys All night long And the then the gym teacher's daughter was giving up her honor We were goners from the rest of the crew Oh, how discreet, she and me in the back seat, She was copping a feel She started screaming, the windows started steaming Her '80s hair was all in a mess, Yeah, she was scheming on some moves She learned off some Betamax porn Oh yeah, that's how you were born Ah, it was 1986

She don't wanna talk She don't want your message She don't wanna feel your Corinthian leather

I'm a rocket, I'm a plane Gonna set myself aflame Gonna jump from the sky at 10 miles high And then I'll scream your name I'm a screaming bullet train A thousand miles an hour in flames And I'll burn this track 'till it's scorched and black And you'll never see me again I'd burn myself for you I'm a rocket, I'm a plane Gonna set myself aflame Gonna jump from the sky at 10 miles high And then I'll scream your name I'd burn myself for you

Margaret wrote the stacks of code To launch to the lunar zone Radical back then, but now Respect, it gets around Valentina launched to space While NASA laughed in womens' face Americans were years behind But then Sally rides Spacewalkin' ladies arrive To show everyone it's time That orbit is an open space If you've got what it takes

Fash out in the streets Are they coming for me? Are they coming for you? Water cannons and SWAT teams Riot control Who's targeted next? They claim civil unrest Can justify force That's possibly lethal Fash out in the streets Are they coming for me? Are they coming for you?

She's looking so fine Yeah, she's looking so fine Yeah, she's looking so fine With her sexy black boots and her bottom line She's so fine Yeah, she's looking so fine Yeah, she's looking so fine And if ya wanna let me inside Baby I don't mind ~~ Incel bastard Coming faster Spots an object Sure disaster Is this creep bothering you? Is this creep bothering you? She's not an object for your pleasure One day you'll learn to respect her

What's you're future? Whatcha gonna do now? What's you're future? Whatcha gonna do now? What's you're future? Whatcha gonna do now? You ain't rich, you don't count now What's you're future? Whatcha gonna do now? What's you're future? Whatcha gonna do now? What's you're future? Whatcha gonna do now? Now you got kicked out

Looking for the murder That went down in a ghost town Where transients and dreamers Deserted in its sundown They left behind some madams And finally, a lone man Under haunted western skies The murder stays a mystery As we look through abandoned streets As ghosts sing the history Of vagabonds and crooked deeds We look behind our shoulders As light is quickly fading Under haunted western skies

Gazer 03:08
And the beauty Of your gaze And it burns into my mind And it lingers all the time But I love it Such a free spirit Wouldn't trap you But my bed still smells like you And I don't know what to do And I miss you And the beauty Of your gaze And it burns into my mind And it lingers all the time But I love it

Another Day 01:14

If you could feel what I feel And if you could see what I see And I could be anything I'd rise up and be all you'd ever need I'd shout from the top highest mountain If ever you doubt what is true 'Cause for you I would die My convictions could not lie So I try so hard to send This message to you
15.
Composure 02:51
And if my composure Weren't so concealing Then you'd understand Just how I'm feeling Staring at the sun Takes all my being You're so beautiful That's all I'm seeing And the times we share So full of splendor Given half a chance I would surrender Gazing in your eyes Ourselves entwining In this state of bliss Forever shining And if loving you Just won't happen Then just leave me here Among these trappings 'Cause I could never stand Life without you When every waking breath Is all about you

The more I think about it, The stronger I feel The stronger I feel, The more I think about it The more I think about it, The stronger I feel The stronger I feel, The more I think about it The more I think about it The more I think about it The more I think about it The more I think about it

I tried to move on So I ran far away Then I saw a thousand couples Embrace on the Champs-Élysées And I remember What it's like to be something on This could've been us Where did I go wrong? You used to talk About plans we could make all the time And the more I thought about it The more it all sounded so fine Now there's nothing More in this world that I want This could've been us Where did I go wrong? I tried to move on So I ran far away Then I saw a thousand couples Embrace on the Champs-Élysées And I remember What it's like to be something on This could've been us Where did I go wrong?

Spice up my morning coffee Just to mask the emptiness Take stock of all my failures And what I can learn from this Try not to think about you And the way we kissed To the sound of old blues records, Wine, charcuterie, and bliss As far as you're concerned, I'm doing fine I guess this heals in time Should've proposed by now In a gondola under the stars Try to forget about it Whatever, man The way your dogs cried The last time I said goodbye And I wished I could've explained to them What even I don't understand why As far as you're concerned, I'm doing fine I guess this heals in time

Slide 04:33
Staring down the void Life has been destroyed By memories of days I once enjoyed I'm fighting back the frost The one I love is lost I'm lost at sea In darkness, churned, and tossed To whom to confide That part of you has died Empty inside Wounding your pride When it's all begun to slide? I'm trying so hard to learn The wisdom pain has earned And patch my shattered soul As it still burns What have I done wrong? Or was it all along The sum of everything I am Is flawed? To whom to confide That part of you has died Empty inside Wounding your pride When it's all begun to slide?
