Dreams calling who's with me?
Time's wasting NO time's free
Do anything put your heart in it!
you plus me and - sky's the limit
you plus me and sky's the limit
M:
Sailing thru life on a mission
Waiting for love to agree
Focus on anything everything else
That's when you found me
F:
Falling's not my favorite fashion
Seemed like some fun for the night
More like an evening attraction
That's when it went right
We never knew it, we never knew it
Would lead to this this this!
M:
Stealing a kiss from the pillow
Satellite talks on the phone
Painted the walls blue and yellow
Bring your love home
F:
Skeptics can change without reason
Cynics won over in time
Winning is my favorite season
Now you are mine
I work and i slave
and pour my heart out
bleed for every note
I push and I pull
my soul out for you all
tear the voice out of my throat
all for little piece of mind
to share a little anecdote
and all I ask at the end of the day
is for enough to stay afloat
O What a life
there's so much out there for me
O What a life
But my art isn't free
I pay a pauper
in a land far away
to develop software code
I collect my fees
distributed to me
for every stream and download
but I pay the artist
whose songs I whore out
a hundredth of what they're owed
and I sit back at the end of the day
making money by the truckload
O What a life
there's so much out there for me
O What a life
Just wait 'til I collect my fee
I tune in to hear
my favorite band
playing their newest song
I click to hear more
from their catalog
listen the whole day long
But I pay my fee
I don't listen for free
I'm not doing anything wrong
what do you fight
for artist rights
can't we all just get along?
O What a life
there's so much out there for me
O What a life
Set the music free
imagine a world
with no colors or sound
everything dull and gray
corporate lists of songs for your moods
telling you what to play
You can't have Earth,
without art
isn't that what they say
it's time to take the power back
time to seize the day!
O What a life
there's so much there for us all
O What a life
Let the towers fall
O What a life
there's so much out there for me
O What a life
But my art isn't free
SAT RIGHT ON DOWN PICKED UP A GUITAR
THREW SOME WORDS ON THE PAGE
AND SOME CHORDS IN THE AIR
YEAH I’LL PUT ALL DOWN AND WE CAN WORK IT OUT LATER- YEAH WE’LL TALK IT OUT
MUSIC IS RIGHT OR MUSIC IS WRONG
AIN’’T NO TALKING AT ALL -GONNA MAKE IT A SONG
YOU CAN PLAY IT ALL NIGHT AND ALL DAY LONG
IF IT AINT THERE - IT AINT GETTING BETTER
YEAH I’LL JUT ADD A FEW TRACKS
AND PRETTY IT UP..NOONE ‘LL NOTICE
THAT I AM JUST MAKING IT UP
YEAH I’LL PUT IT DOWN AND WORK IT OUT LATER- YEAH WE CAN TALK IT OUT
thoughts go round like
mice and cats in circles
chasing someone’s tail
round and round, we go
so deeper down, we sing
in minor scales
sing to me and
take it slow
sweetly as you go
something soft to
soothe my heart
a tune from long ago
sing me saving sounds
sing me back to ground
I can’t do it on my own
slow my heartbeat down
turn this car around
show me peace I’ve
never known
sometimes lightning
strikes on sunny days
and nothing to be done
helpless, helpless, thunder
all around, the
heat from thousand suns
nothing to be
done but sink into
this quicksand’s pull
close my fist and
shout your name
and fill my cup so full
sing me saving sounds
sing me back to ground
I can’t do it on my own
slow my heartbeat down
turn this car around
show me peace I’ve
never known
