It’s getting late
And now the moon is rising
And I can’t stop looking at it
Can’t stop thinking about it
Can’t set it straight
No no I just can’t place it
And no I can’t erase it
And I can’t stop thinking about it
Oh what a scene
When you can’t seem to say what you mean
Oh what a shame
When you’ve only got yourself to blame
And I try to shake it off
And then I try to sleep it off
But you still follow me like the moon
And you still follow me like the moon
And then I try to shake it off
And then I try to sleep it off
But you still follow me like the moon
And you still follow me like the moon
Hayayayayaya
It’s getting late
It’s been a real hard fall
Trying to forget it all
And I can’t stop thinking about it
Gotta clear my plate
I’m trying to break the habit
That I’m right back at it
And I can’t stop thinking about it
Oh what a scene
When you can’t seem to say what you mean
Oh what a shame
When you’ve only got yourself to blame
And I try to shake it off
And then I try to sleep it off
But you still follow me like the moon
And you still follow me like the moon
And then I try to shake it off
And then I try to sleep it off
But you still follow me like the moon
And you still follow me like the moon
Hayayayayaya
Making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
And it’s a little more than lust but a little bit less than love
Feels bad when it’s unrequited
Feels bad to not feel invited
And I try to shake it off
And then I try to sleep it off
But you still follow me like the moon
And you still follow me like the moon
And then I try to shake it off
And then I try to sleep it off
But you still follow me like the moon
And you still follow me like the moon
And I try to shake it off
And then I try to sleep it off
But you still follow me like the moon
And you still follow me like the moon
And then I try to shake it off
And then I try to sleep it off
But you still follow me like the moon
And you still follow me like the moon
Hayayaya
And I try to shake it off
And then I try to sleep it off
But you still follow me like the moon
And you still follow me like the moon
And then I try to shake it off
And then I try to sleep it off
But you still follow me like the moon
And you still follow me like the moon

Smoky walls, dusty halls, no one calls
And all the window plants are dying (la la la la)
She'd talk it up, half empty cup, half-hearted love
Half of the time halfway through crying (ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh)
She don't live here by herself
Sleeping in the bed she's made
Reading books about self help
Working late on Saturdays
Less she got something at stake
For heaven's sake, keep him awake, make no mistake
He break down daily with no warning
When you're 20 years old, do as you're told
Get bought and sold
Its coldest early in the morning
And he's living on Tenth Street
Getting home right around dawn
Every night of every week
He's proving everybody wrong
Any day now, it won't be long
So listen when I say
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
I've been holding my own, my rag and bone, lock up alone
I don't forget to double check it, now, no no no no
And I learned to rely on me and I, straighten my tie
Lace my own boots zip my own jacket
Because I did the best I could
I got taken down again
But I got fire in my blood
I got sugar on my skin
And I got no where to begin
So listen and I'll say
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
See you get what you put in
So you cannot get upset
If you're just dipping your foot in
Because you don't wanna get wet
And you ain't made it big yet
Don't you stop it
Give 'em all what they came here for
Gotta talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I'm doing it all for
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
Don't you stop it now, woah
Never been done the same
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for

How do I say what you already know?
Talk with my hands maybe take it real slow?
Como se dice en español?
¿A dónde vas después del show?
I get a vibe from you honey
Cloudy days walking ‘round feeling sunny
I’m a smooth talking lady what it comes to everybody but you
Aint that funny? (So funny!)
And when I rise in the morning
There I find you on my mind without warning
Ooh and then there’s nothing left I can do
Every time you come through.
Woah, I see you there with your ball-cap and button up jeans
Mamita, you can’t rush a good thing
We'll take your time by all means, woah
And now we’re walking real slow on the pavement together
Wanna hit you with the heavy while you’re talking ‘bout the weather
I’m telling you I wanna, y no me dices nada
Can’t tell what it means
How do I say what you already know?
Talk with my hands maybe take it real slow?
Como se dice en español?
¿A dónde vas después del show?
Working the words out and walking your way,
Hoping it works out and maybe someday
You’ll let me know that it’s all ok
Creo lo sientes, pero no se
Hola papa. ¿Qué paso?
Hola mami, pasa nada
¿Qué tu quieres?
¿Que tu piensas, de nosotros tu y yo?
Hola, guapa
¿Que paso?
Hola papi, pasa nada
¿Qué tu quieres? ¿Que tu piensas, de nosotros tu y yo?
Te vi pasar y otra vez el tiempo se detuvo
Con tu mirada y tu perfume, me quede mudo
Quisiera conquistarte con toda mi poesías
Y todas las estrellas del cielo te bajaría

Woke up nearly 6 ‘o clock
It was our last day in Vermont, one of us was still missing
Staying at Tommy’s place doing nothing but playing
For no pay and anybody who wanted to listen
Tommy had a buddy had turned twenty-one at midnight
Just a couple hours before
I look to my left, seen him wake up laughing
On a blanket on some bullshit
All alone on the living room floor
I keep a portrait in my pocket of myself the year
I got stung by that silly man
You can see the first in my eyes as he fired off to no surprise
He didn’t come to give a damn
And the bottle of merlot fell over when he got up to go
And he finally slammed the door
Wait, what have we got left?
Seen it come up easy, blood and baking soda
Scrubbing at the rug on my living room floor
I am in my own lane, I will not let myself down
I am in my own lane, I am my own house
When that old man come to visit he said
Is it ever tough to look back? Does it get too loud?
Do you ever wish you could have done the things you never done?
Are you sentimental mama, are you proud?
And you didn't have to order out for me
I know it’s something that you can’t afford
Have you got any left?
I tell him babe I made this, with my own hands
Ain't it something?
Sitting cross-legged, because we haven’t got a table yet
Saving up, gonna get a few chairs, gonna get a whole set
I’ve got my bed and my closet and a living room floor
Woah I got a living room floor
And I got it deep down in my soul

If you put a woman in a box
And you put a man right there beside her
Told them both to play the leader
Who you think would take the lead?
Which of them would get their point across
In which of them would just have to yes indeed
If you put a man in a box and a woman right beside him
Tell em take make the thing you’re made for
And you make it out ok
Which of them you think is sticking it out
And which of them is kicking out the same damn day?
We are gathered here today to learn about our own race
Let us refrain from any bias as the observations take place
If you put a woman in a box
And you put a man right there beside her
It’s important that I spend tonight alone, is that ok?
Which of them you think will understand
And which of them will stand in the other ones way?
If you put a woman in a box
Oh what does it mean to be a woman in a box
What is it like to be a man
Which of them you think would stand in the other ones way?
And who would understand?
Oh he sees her putting her dress on
And letting her hair out
He takes a head full of high hopes
To the porch where it can air out
She’s got a half a mind to think it will never be the right time
Oh maybe
But they got a hell a lot of thinking to do before nighttime
We put a woman in a box and a man right there beside her
And they took care of each other
And they don’t ask for too much
And the woman and the man discover better ways to talk
Like through song and touch
She’s having a happy box morning
Cooking with no pants on
He clears a little bit of living room floor for them to dance on
(Go get your dance on)
We are gathered here today to learn about our own selves
Let us be like lil children, learning from our grown selves
We come together we say
Woooaaah woooaaah woooaaah

I'm at the after party, everybody's talking over me
Everybody's talking fast and loud
I figure maybe if I get my jacket
Step outside and get myself some air
Then I could share myself more fully with the crowd
Its in the front room closet
Find it with its pockets on the inside
Big enough to hold my shame
And I put the thing around my shoulders
Suddenly I'm looking like I did not come to play
Cuz I already won the game
I was anxious didn't know how to act
Socially speaking, I had lost my tact
Nobody gave me no time to react
Good thing I had my bulletproof denim jacket
Oohaa, denim jacket
Now I'm on the patio, listening to an old friend who is crying
On some man who never loved her right
I say why don't you just do it for him?
Write it in a get-well-soon card
Break it off real easy ain't no need to start a fight
Somebody shouted over
Why you always look that way and sound the way you do
And why you try so hard?
I say listen to the way you're talking
Nobody else feels that way
Now go read something if you think that you're so smart
I was anxious didn't know how to act
Socially speaking, I had lost my tact
He thinks it's funny when he talks like that
I hit 'em with that bulletproof denim jacket
Oohaa, denim jacket
I was anxious didn't know how to act, no no no no no
Socially speaking I had lost my tact
I feel the hot heat coming like a heart attack, good thing
I got my fireproof denim jacket. Oohaa
See I am under pressure, but I ain't never fresher
When I think I'm doing more than enough
You gotta tell me that its never enough
I think I'm doing more than enough
But you say that its never enough
But I got it, denim jacket
I am under pressure but I ain't been never fresher
Now I'm on the way back home
Walking to the beat
I can feel the street below my feet
I can smell the air so clear
Now papasito doesn't make no sense
Leaning up against the fence
And he's calling out something his mama wouldn't wanna hear
Said turn around now love
And I can call you love because
I love the way you walk away straight up and tall
Call me by my first name or you call me nothing at all
Cuz we ain't nothing at all
I was anxious didn't know how to act
I would say that I had lost my tact
Nobody gave me no time to react
Good thing I had by bullet proof denim jack
Oohaa denim jacket
Anxious don't know how to act
I'm getting nervous baby I'm thinking about turning back
You think its funny when you talk like that
But I got a fool proof denim jacket

I'm about to tell a story that I haven't yet
About the most intelligent woman that I ever met
She looked like Jackie Onassis
Top of her classes, and I'm doing my best just passing by
I'm so funny in my body I can barely walk
I'm so full of them funny feeling I can barely talk
And here comes Jackie Onassis
Don't need to ask it
But have you ever seen a woman so fine?
She said come on out, just a couple hours
We gonna have a real good time
And I say
Where ya going?
Where ya going?
When ya coming home?
Somebody in the front seat calls out
Everyone quit wasting my time
Gotta hit the road and hit the road, hit the road
There they go and there they go and I was on my own
I ain't never spoke my mind up in a crowded place
I ain't got no cool demeanor and smooth talking ways
Cuz I ain't like Jackie Onassis
Girls in sunglasses looking me up like
I'm part of some game
Well the altercation happened round the 10th of May
Some poorly dressed spectator had something unkind to say
It comes back to me in flashes
I get risky, there's a swing and a miss and I'm all ashamed
When she found me I was in pieces
Crying hard into my hat she tell me
Mama you look lovely when you take a stand
I tell her
No one's ever been so kind to me and I thank you for that
She said Here ya go and here ya go, here ya go
Took her hair out a bow and put that ribbon in my hand
Here we go!
Look at that lady
She carries herself right, singing ah ah ah
She's the first lady, to walk me through the night
She's singing ah ah ah
Oh play it, play it, play
I got sunny days on the track field
Laughing hard just me and mine
Got a great part in the spring play after all
I got my rose pink tinted glasses and they fit me just fine
And I let it go and let it go, let it go
Babada babadada babada babadaba baba
Here we go!
Look at that lady
She carries herself right, singing ah ah ah
She's the first lady, to walk me through the night
She's singing ah ah ah
Look at that lady
She carries herself right, singing ah ah ah
She's the first lady, to walk me through the night
She's singing ah ah ah
Look at that lady, Little Miss Thing!
She carries herself right, singing ah ah ah
She's the first lady, hold my hand
And walk me through the night
She's singing ah ah ah
Look at that lady
She carries herself right, singing ah ah ah
She's the first lady, to walk me through the night
She's singing ah ah ah

It’s alright to feel so good around somebody
It’s all right to know it might not always last
Would you like to?
I would love to
And as a matter of fact
I’m very glad you asked
Maybe we're just a little sweet on each other
Maybe we will do no damage, and that’s fine
Til we’re kissing in the passenger seat
Holding up the drive though order line
I get misty when I think of it
The end, that is
And everything unsaid
When I’m lying in my bed
But in the morning when I wake up and
I think of you it’s clearer in my head
Cuz we’re singing too loud at a restaurant
And the waiter say keep it down, whatcha want?!
And the way I feel now, you’re the only one
And if it all goes south, it was a lot of fun
Suddenly we're sneaking all around till the break of dawn
Undercover like they don’t even know we’re gone
And the way I feel now, you’re the only one
But if it all goes south, it was a lot of fun
It’s all right to know you might not have the answer
It’s all right to know you might not ever know
It’s like writing up your critical review
Before you even see the show
Then you don’t bother to go
Maybe nothing like plays out like in the movies
Maybe every lovely thing must have an end
But you’re sleeping in my sweater
And I’m introducing you to my best friend
I get misty when I think of it, the end that is
And everything I doubt
Thinking what’s it all about?
We’re drinking light beer till the future’s looking real clear
Getting one more and closing out
Thats what I’m talking about
Cuz we’re singing too loud at a restaurant
And the waiter say keep it down, whatcha want?!
And the way I feel now, you’re the only one
And if it all goes south, we had a lot of fun
Call me while you’re kind of freaking out round 10 to 1
And I come over and we talk till we see the sun
Yeah, you’re the only one
And if it all goes south it was a lot of fun
When it’s short lived by a little bit, it’s a shame isn’t it?
Leaving everything unsaid, keeping it all in your head
But we are happy and we’re having fun
We’re holding on, we’re hanging by a thread
And were singing too loud at a restaurant
And everybody say
Shut up! Sit down! fooling all around,
And now you're the only one
And if it all goes south it was a lot of fun
Four-alarm firefighting, nothing but a water gun
Tagging out at third base, nearly had a home run
Yeah you’re the only one
But if it all goes south we had a lot of fun, didn’t we?

No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one
Oh, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
What am I supposed to do?
Sit around and wait for you?
Well, I can't do that
There's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you
Oh, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Well, I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
Oh, I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

Today would have been the perfect day to go to the beach
I'm on the sofa trying to get over a hate speech
We do not love ourselves the way the prophets teach
Even Jesus kept his feelings like a lamp in the dark
Until he flipped the tables over up in the market
Oh Mother, there are lamps but there are sparks
But I need to know
I don’t need to be shown
I've gotta see it for myself
I've gotta learn it on my own
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
And am I still growing or full grown?
Am I still growing, or full grown?
Oh, ooh, yeah
She’s coming up for the rising like the dark before dawn
She has come to a place and she feels like her love’s gone
She has come of an age and a line should be drawn
He’s walking around in a tank top getting caught in a bluff
Little boys do not cry, don’t you think that you’re hot stuff?
Its real tough when your daddy don’t call you enough, oh
But I need to know
I don’t need to be shown
I've gotta see it for myself
I've gotta learn it on my own
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
And am I still growing or full grown?
Am I still growing, or full grown?
Oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, ooh
Striking matches to watch em burn
In my childhood bedrooms
Little time, little water and light, little seed
Every bud blooms
And I've been striking matches to watch ‘em burn
In my childhood bedrooms, ooh
Little time, little water and light, little seed
Every bud blooms, oh
There are days I need to tell myself I’m doing alright
My inner child and my ego get caught up in a knife fight
I get nervous, and then I will get out of sight
Cause everybody I came up with says that I’m going too slow, woah
But it’s cool though
Cause I can hear my people when I check out the show
I feel real low
Cause I need to know
I don’t need to be shown
I've gotta see it for myself
I've gotta learn it on my own
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
Am I still growing? I am a full grown
'Cause I need to know
Oh, I don’t need to be shown
Gotta see it for myself
I've gotta learn it on my own
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
And am I still growing or full grown, honey?
Am I still growing, like a-a-a-ah
Oh, ooh, yeah

The moon has never been so close before
I could just reach out, I could take it
Take a bite of it and save it
And he's talking ’bout some stupid sneakers he wore
He said, I get 'em where they make it
Ain't no middle man to fake it
For a couple weeks I could feel it comin, a
Couple days I could hear the drummin, a
A tin of mints, and a pack of gum and
We're freshenin up cause the morning's comin
Bittersweet for the most part bitter
Its one part sweet and its two parts bitter
It's one part sweet, I think
It's one part sweet and it’s two parts bitter
I got a taste of the good life in the middle of the night
It was about 4 o’clock on a Friday
As in 4 am one Saturday
And I got a taste of the good life, I was feelin alright
And I was in the backseat, it was a long day
I was in a taxi on the Cross Island Parkway

I get nervous when the girls dress in their summer clothes
And anxious when the boys where all them button ups
And sports jackets
I wore a t-shirt to a family party, everybody overreacted
There comes a point when hiding out in all them
Haunted hallways and hidden staircases
Don’t make you feel like a grown woman anymore
And it’s true, and I’m sorry
You can feel it, you can see it in your hands and eyebrows
You ain't a kid now, but mama don’t you wish you could
Lay out that summer sun just getting freckles
On your daddy’s chevrolet car hood
Ooh there comes a point
When spinning ‘round and walking sideways and taking ten paces
Don’t make you feel like it’s your birthday anymore
And it’s true, and I’m sorry.
And I’m talking about my love
It’s not what you’re thinking of
Woah
Let’s throw a party!
Somebody’s turning thirty
Ooh and we ain't looked this good
Sing we don’t even know since when
Let’s throw a party!
I finally made some money
Ooh, and can you dig it baby?
I finally dig myself again
Oooh my love! (my love!)
Talking about my love! (my love!)
Talking about my love! (my love!)
And it’s true, and I’m sorry!
Where does it go?
As we grow old?
Fighting for time, finding what’s mine

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here
Since 1969"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know, the last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you, said, "Honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain"
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong
But then I've been there before
Everything's all right, I'll just say good night
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Yeah, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Yeah, I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK

I know we used to have a lot of bad days
My stomach kept to hurt and in the worst way
Singing the blues all on my own in a dark room
Nobody there all on my own in the dark room
And now I guess we got a lot we couldn't lose
You finally get the cigarettes
I ain't been singing the blues needing this much
Since I've been living with you love me too much
And I say
Kick it to me I can't make it better for you
Kick it to me I can't make you better for it
Kick it to me I can't make it better for you
Kick it to me I can't make you better for it
Kick it to me I can't make it better for you
Kick it to me I can't make you better for it
Kick it to me I can't make it better for you
Make it better and so better
I know we didn't think that it won't turn out
It started off too quick you got no burn out
Turnin and send a home when the night comes
Let it go send a home when the night comes
And now all this has headed to the same place
And nowadays we're working thing
Some still here still bright when the night comes
Still burnin' still bright when the night comes
Kick it to me I can't make it better for you
Kick it to me I can't make you better for it
Kick it to me I can't make it better for you
Kick it to me I can't make you better for it
Kick it to me I can't make it better for you
Kick it to me I can't make you better for it
Kick it to me I can't make it better for you
Make it better cause it's so better
I didn't feel it on the first day
But now I got it in the worst way
And don't you feel alright
I get it better and it gets better everyday
I didn't think it was a good look
You get to worry that we could look
And don't you feel okay
I get it better and it gets better everyday
And if I open the gates
And I let in the light
You're gonna get all of me or none at all
You're gonna get all of me or none at all
And if walkin away
And let it in
No I get all of you or none at all
I wanna get all of you or none at all
I didn't feel it on the first day
But now I got it in the first way
Oh don't you feel okay
I get it better and it gets better everyday
I didn't think it was a good look
You get to worry that we could look
And don't you feel okay
I get it better and it gets better everyday
I didn't feel it on the first day
And now I got it in the first way
Oh baby don't you feel alright
It got me feelin better every single day
I didn't think it was a good look
You get to worry that we could look
And don't you feel okay
I get it better and it gets better everyday no no no
