Wake me when the day breaks
show me how the sun shines
tell me about your heartaches
who could be so unkind?
Do you dream to touch me?
and smile deep down inside
or could you just kill me?
It's hard to make up your mind, sometimes

My Angels, My Devils, My thorn in my pride

Are you wanting inspiration?
you spill your secrets on me
Then you tell me in a whisper
of things that will never be
Do you hear me breathing?
Does it make you want to scream?
Did you ever like a bad dream?
sometimes life is so obscene

My Angels, My Devils, My thorn in my pride

Lover, cover me with your sleep
let your love light shine
Lover, cover me with a good dream
let your love light shine
let it shine
down on me

Cat Power's cover of
Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain"

Hush now, don't explain
You're the cause of all my
Trouble and pain
Unless you're mad
Don't explain

My love, my love, my love
Don't explain
There is nothing within me now to gain
You know that I love you
Look at what loving has done
All my thoughts were real
And so sincere
I was so completely yours

You know I hear folks cha-cha-cha-chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, that doesn't matter
You're here with me
Sit down, have a sit
It's your time to feel the pain
It's your time to weep
Don't explain

Last time I saw you, you were on stage
Your hair was wild, your eyes were red
You were in a rage
You were swinging your guitar around.
Cause they wanted to hear that sound
That you didn’t want to play.
I don’t blame you.

I don’t blame you.

Been around the world, in many situations
Been inside many heads in different positions
But you never wanted them that way.
What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay.
And that for all that **** on stage.

But it never made sense to them anyway,
Could you imagine when they turned their backs
They were only scratching their heads.
Cause you simply deserve the best.
And I don’t blame you

They said you were the best,
But then they were only kids
Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in
Just because they knew your name,
Doesn’t mean they know from where you came
What a sad trick you thought that you had to play.
But I don’t blame you

They never owned it
And you never owed it to them anyway.

I don’t blame you.

She paints her eyes as black as night, now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain comes,
The pains gonna make everything alright

Says she talks to angels,
They call her out by her name
She talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met, not yet

Says she talks to angels,
Says they all know her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name

She dont know no lover,
None that I ever seen
Yes, to her that aint nothing
But to me, yeah me,
Its everything

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh yeah, theres a smile when the pain comes,
The pains gonna make everything alright, alright yeah

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

It's easier not to be wise
amd measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
You'll need them, your boat is at sea
your anchor is up, you've been swept away
and the greatest of teachers wont hesistate
to leave you there by yourself,
chained to fate...

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
fear is not the end of this

It's easier not to be great
and measure these things by your eyes
we long to be here by his resolve
alone in the church by and by
to cradle the baby in space
and leave you there by yourself chained to fate..

Oh, now, we took it back too far
only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn
all come runnin back to you,
all these rhythms that you hide
only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn,

yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm not lovin you, the way I wanted to
what I had to do, had to run from you
I'm in love with you, but the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me, all the way home
So ya never know, never never know
never know enough, til its over love
til we lose control, system overload
Screamin no no no, no no
I ain't lovin you, the way i wanted to
See I wanna move, but cant escape from you
so I keep it low, keep a secret code
so everybody else dont have to know

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
so keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
so keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
You keep ya loved locked down, you lose

I'm not lovin you, the way I wanted to
I can't keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got somethin to lose, so I gotta move
I cant keep myself, and still keep you too
so I keep in mind, when Im on my own
somewhere far from home, in the danger zone
How many times did it take til I finally got through? You lose, you lose
I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to
see I had to go, see I had to go
No more wastin time, we cant wait for life
which is wastin time, wheres the finish line

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down (x3) you lose

Im not lovin you, the way i wanted to
I met no one new, I got no one new
No I said Im through, but got love for you
But im not lovin you, the way I wanted to
Gotta keep it goin, keep the lovin goin
Keep it on a roll, only God knows
Am I into you, baby im confused
You choose, you choose
I ain't lovin you, the way I wanted to
I got to go, I dont need you
i been on this road, too many times before
I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to

This shattered dream you cannot justify.
We're gonna scream until we're satisfied.
What are we running for ? We've got the right to be angry.
What are we running for when there's nowhere we can run to anymore ?
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
And with the power of conviction there is no sacrifice.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.

Won't anybody help us ?
What are we running for when there's nowhere

nowhere we can run to anymore ?
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
And with the power of conviction there is no sacrifice.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.

Just a little trivia there.....

Got no lyrics today, CPN got 'Jane Says' stuck in my head so bad, I'm starting to think it is a message from the heavens...

I changed my cell phone signature to
