Going through some things, Darkness and light brings, Us together, sing, Searching for meaning, Feeling lost a lot, Confrentate and plot, Everything you're not, Spills out of the pot And so we twist and turn in our beds, Can't get the bad thoughts out of our heads, Make a list and throw it away, Cause nothing is going to ruin our day, Don't you think it's out of control, The way they determine us through payrolls, So we twist and turn the tables, Making a plot twist to this fable They never thought we'd do it like this, Turning every mistake into bliss, Positive, negative, their first kiss, Was something of a little plot twist Take it back, rewind, Rearranging time, Erased from our minds, Opened from inside, We'll no longer hide, What's wrong and what's right, Every single night, We turn on the lights Cause we just twist and turn in our beds, Can't get the bad thoughts out of our heads, Make a list and throw it away, Cause nothing is going to ruin our day, Don't you think it's out of control, The way they determine us through payrolls, So we twist and turn the tables, Making a plot twist to this fable They never thought we'd do it like this, Turning every mistake into bliss, Positive, negative, their first kiss, Was something of a little plot twist

Chords: G, C, D, G/Chord change to A, E, D, A Capo on the first fret V1: Well there's this little lady who roams around this place, she's always talking to herself with a blank look on her face. Well Mr. Parker drove by one day thinking she had no home, so he stopped and offered her some cash, and this is how the story goes: Chorus 1: That little ole lady wrote a check for everything she had, said, "money ain't no thing to me, so don't try to pay me back". Mr. Parker went home that day, a millionaire, thanks to that little lady with the blank stare V2: (Also where the chord change takes place) A few years went by, and that little lady died, and every homeless man and woman in that town, got an envelope that turned their lives around... Chorus 2: Cause Mr. Parker wrote a check for everything he had, said, "money ain't no thing to me and there's not too much left to see, as long as I've got time I'll always be a millionaire, thanks to that little lady with the blank stare." Bridge/ending: A few years ago I used to live out on the street, but now I've got a home, a home of my own...thanks to Mr. Parker and that little lady, yes that little lady.

I wanna play hip-hop on acoustic guitar Maybe one day I'll be a superstar Slangin poetry having fun With my pal Patrick Ferguson I wanna play hip-hop on acoustic guitar Subwoofers are too loud The clubs have too big crowds Acoustic guitars are chill Quiet coffee shops, a better thrill I sing and play my rhymes Softer sounds before night time I had to give up O.E. Now I settle for herbal tea I wanna play hip-hop on acoustic guitar Maybe one day I'll be a superstar Slangin poetry having fun With my pal Patrick Ferguson I wanna play hip-hop on acoustic guitar The stage lights were too bright But my samples were oh so tight My Jordans were the king of the block But now I rock the Birkenstocks My gold chain was too heavy Now I'm strung out on Vitamin-D. I was strong and had my chance But now I'm pissing my underpants I wanna play hip-hop on acoustic guitar Maybe one day I'll be a superstar Slangin poetry having fun With my pal Patrick Ferguson I wanna play hip-hop on acoustic guitar I'm older now, just a wiser guy But I used to be a gangsta named MC Eye "Hip-Hop on an acoustic guitar? Hold on a minute. Let's kick this shit right mother fuckers!" **** BIG TWIST BIG TWIST ***** "Still rockin sags with my Gucci Depends!"

Try to look on the brighter side, but the sun got in my eyes Try to look the silver lining, all I found was stone Not the kind of man, to feel or apologize Keep to myself prefer to be all alone This cursed life - not all it’s cracked up to be This cursed life - no more than misery This cursed cursed life - must be more in store for me This cursed life - no where to turn Took a trip to the promised land, turns out it was closed that day Even though I don’t understand, they still tried to make me stay Not the kind of heart, to feel or to give shit Try to grab the ring, nah I’m over it I’ll admit I was wrong dial it back moving on I found peace

another day come and gone nothing left that carries on except the memories of love that linger on maybe sunshine and roses rainbows are poses happiness and poems and love are words just waiting to be found a flash of life left on the ground was all thats left when it was found a little piece of what they made just lying around maybe sunshine and roses rainbows are poses happiness and poems and love are words just waiting to be found Maybe sunshine is just waiting to be found maybe sunshine and roses rainbows are poses happiness and poems and love are words just waiting to be found another day come and gone nothing left that carries on except the memories of love that linger on

saw you took your troubles behind you somewhere down the river to drown 
wish I could forget all the deep blue 
I watched the dirty deed going down Think I’ll always come to remember 
first I saw the spark in your eyes
 like somebody flicked all the lights on 
and everybody covers their lies keep on saying that my touch gone cold I wouldn’t buy it if you paid me in gold Come the time to save you from never Seemed the only way at the time Swore I’d keep your counsel forever
 surrender my good name for the crime keep on saying that my touch gone cold I wouldn’t buy it if you paid me in gold no god now could ever forgive me 
left my soul salvation behind
 no more secrets left to outlive me Couldn’t let this sink my worried mind keep on saying that my touch gone cold I wouldn’t buy it if you paid me in gold

v1: I think I'll probably lose my sight before I lose my life I know I'll make it into heaven in spite of all the ways I've tried To screw it up and sabotage the gifts that I've been given I'll pour out all my life's regrets like a bottle of good bourbon ch: We're all in this together Don't fool yourself, it's not now or never We take our chances before we come to our senses Life ain't got no plot twists, just a string of coincidences v2: I know I need to lose it all before I gain my life I read it somewhere in a book, but it doesn't seem quite right I've had my doubts, I've had my loves, they vanish day to day Sometimes I think I've had enough, but I keep on anyway ch: We're all in this together Don't fool yourself, it's not now or never We take our chances before we come to our senses Life ain't got no plot twists, just a string of coincidences v3: I think I'll probably lose my sight before I lose my life I know I'll make it into heaven in spite of all the days I've lied ch: We're all in this together Don't fool yourself, it's not now or never We take our chances before we come to our senses Life ain't got no plot twists ------- We're all in this together Don't fool yourself, it's not now or never We take our chances before we come to our senses Life ain't got no plot twists, just a string of coincidences

Dissonance in innocence  Every time you look my way Pull my strings Like a Marionette  Make me forget  Make me forget I can’t say when you call my name A word that comes to mind Millions dance But have no chance To ever feel free They escape me  I could take the interstate  But back roads lead the way Try to find the pieces that Were thrown out in the weighing past But someone must have come along While I was kicking dirt and stone Making wishes, bottles and jars Thinking I would catch a shooting star Now there’s nothing, not a trace blank page shining on my face  Everything’s erased Even the date Chalk it up to fate  Hurry up and wait  Maybe if I sing a song  It will find it’s way where it belongs  Bending your ear Nostalgic tear Meeting a smile Stay for a while I could take the interstate  But back roads lead the way Your thumb out just waiting for Me to come along with more Than I was willing to stake Another life, another day  You know I can wait Till I’m old and gray  When we meet at the old folks’ place Sharing scars and Chardonnay 

about

Your first assignment comes from Joshua:

"My assignment this week is about twists. I love a good twist ending, or unexpected turn in a song. So, surprise me! It can be the story, or a lyrical twist, or a musical twist (change in time, tempo or key)”
