long nights
held tight
something was leaving but they didn't know why
she felt
just right
but youth is fleeting soon there’d be goodbye
for travis and rachel
moved a long long way from home
ooh they left together
but they will you know they will
come back alone
so close
so far
it didn’t matter since they caught that falling star
he felt
at night
it’d last forever if he just held her tight
ooh wah wah wah wah ooh
travis and rachel
moved a long long way from home
ooh they left together
but you know they will
you know they will come back alone

MARY DREAMED ONE DAY OF STARTING A RIOT
SHES THE KIND OF GIRL WHO WONT GO AWAY
LIKE A HURRICANE YOU INVITE TO A PARTY
SHE’S ON FIRE AND YOU CAN’T LOOK AWAY
BUT SOMEHOW WE ALL JUST ADORE HER
SHES THE ONE WHO BRINGS THE LIGHT TO THE DAY
WE KNOW ONE DAY WE’LL HAVE NOTHING BUT STORIES
SHE’LL TURN TO ASHES OR EVAPORATE
SO HEY…..YEAH HEY…SEIZE THE DAY
JIMMY WEIGHED ABOUT AS MUCH AS THESE MATCHES
BUT HE’D THROW PUNCHES THAT COULD KNOCK YOU DOWN
HE NEVER HAD HIMSELF A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY
HE HAD A WAY WITH ALL THE WOMEN IN TOWN
BUT SOMEHOW WE ALL JUST LOVED HIM
HE’S THE ONE WHO BRINGS THE LIGHT TO THE DAY
WE KNOW ONE DAY WE’LL HAVE NOTHING BUT STORIES
HE’LL TURN TO ASHES OR EVAPORATE
IN ANOTHER LIFE…I COULD SEE THEM BOTH TOGETHER
THAT PERFECT STORM OF LIFE AND GRACE
THAT KIND OF LOVE THAT MOVIES ARE MADE OF
THE SAME KIND OF LOVE THEY GAVE EACH DAY

Billie and Sandi were always handy
and good for a laugh and a drink
They were never quite normal
and always informal,
give you a smile and a wink.
And you would have thought
if they'd ever been caught
they'd be strung up in a blink.
But Sndi and Billie thought it was silly
to care what people think.
Whoa
Whoa
Yeah Sandi and Billie were sorta (not really)
a typical couple you'd find
A couple of sports who were never the sort
to pay anyone else mind
And when they were out
you could hear them shout
Don't you know love is blind
Yeah Billie and Sandi thought it was just dandy
to do what they were inclined
Whoa
Whoa
Sandi and Billie were both ideally
suited to their lifestyle
they both were the same
yet totally different
with beauty, wit, and guile
And so, when I meet them
I heartily greet them
and we sit and we drink for a while.
And we're all vociferent
that it's good to be different
never part of the rank and file
Whoa
Whoa

She lays a kiss upon every round
One by one he loads them in
They say that madness makes no sound
Like the click of the firing pin
But on her head she wears a halo
And they know they do no wrong
In his eyes he sees the day glow
But they know it won't be long
Gun to head give her the money
She loves to hear him take control
It hurts to know they find it funny
To watch the chaos take its toll
But she's the only one who tames him
Her violent mind will pull his strings
The joy of frenzied fascination
Like a kiss from death's plaything
Bullets fly and they go down
They knew it wouldn't last forever
Just two bodies on the ground
Holding hands with death together
They lived a live of hell and danger
But it all went to their heads
To the world they're violent strangers
Star crossed lovers forever dead

Suuusun - Lulu and Steve
02:16

Lulu and Steve got up to leave
They had to work in the morning
No tea, no bread, to feed the dead
No time to drowse through the dawn
Set out to drive try to arrive
Before the snowfall covers all
The car did weave, Lulu and Steve
Found final rest on their lawn

Red & Butter don't know each other
But they travel the world in separate vans
With their separate humans
---
Red & Butter go undercover
They don't put words on a page
But they hold it down on the stage
They say that road dogs got it hard
When they're traveling so far
Traveling so far
They say that road dogs got it bad
But these dogs don't get mad
They're the best we've ever had
Red & Butter, one is fluffier
But it does not make a difference
They've got plenty of sense
---
Red & Butter, they're just like brothers
It's hard to tell which is which
Road life can be a bitch
They say that road dogs got it hard
When they're traveling so far
Traveling so far
They say that road dogs got it bad
But these dogs don't get mad
They're the best we've ever had
Red & Butter, I don't mean to smother
Each of you with too many compliments
Talk about canine competence
They say that road dogs got it hard
When they're traveling so far
Traveling so far

Johnny came from Nashville, grew up less than most
Drinking gin in pool halls every night
Momma was a loner, daddy wasn’t round
Home time wasn't home, more like a fight
Lorraine she wasn’t proud, but her family had it down
Lived in a big house right down on Main
Kept to herself mostly, best to keep her busy
Eyes were always looking for the stain
c1
What an unlikely pair
They were the luckiest there
Down on Friday night Met under the lights
They found love
Devil may care
Johnny played the clown hugged her upside down
Dinner at McDonalds was ok
Happy is a starter, nice to have partner
Worries and the past drifted away
Lorraine had found her place Big smile on her face
Came out of her shell started to sing
Serious and funny, in rainy and in the sunny
Can't break them apart with anything
Bridge:
Fast forward ten years
J and L still going strong
Had themselves some littles puffy in the middles
True love story makes a great love song
Johnny came from Nashville, grew up less than most
Drinking gin in pool halls every night
No he’s not a loner, family turned him over
Storyfied and living just right

Thalia, on a good day
she moves to the sound
grâce notes, arabesques
breathes joy in the round
and she won't give away secrets dark
you must find how to light your own spark
but Thalia holds the fuse
and you're the mark
turn, turn on your lights
guide me homeward
dreams I can't understand
sings the songbird you lose
Apollo, shrinking inward
he's losing the note
seconds, tritones
gets lost in his throat
he goes prostrate at Thalia's feet
she just laughs at his love bittersweet
Apollo is dreaming
of the song
show me your black, secret art, Thalia
can't find the beat of my heart
can't find my way
