i’ll post lyrics to a song i’ve been addicted to in the week.? you respond by posting lyrics to a song you’ve been addicted to in the week.

pretty easy, huh? let’s try…

invincible – muse

Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don’t give up the fight
You will be alright
Cause there’s no one like you in the universe

Don’t be afraid
What your mind consumes
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we’re invincible

During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Lets use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we’re invincible

Do it on your own
It makes no difference to me
What you leave behind
What you choose to be
And whatever they say
Your soul’s unbreakable

During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we’re invincible

Together we’re invincible

During the struggle
They will pull us down
Please, please
Let use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we’re invincible

Together we’re invincible

your turn…you can find lyrics here.

go!

    Wow, I’m first! Due, of course to insomnia brought on by the dog whining at my door at 3:30am. Silly puppy.

    Unfortunately, I’ve had no lyrics in my head for days. I lose.

    I’ve had random lyrics from Jesus Christ Superstar haunting my thoughts for a few days now! ‘What’s that buzz, tell me what’s a-happening”

    You’re looking for explanations
    I don’t even understand
    If you need someone to blame
    Throw a rock in the air
    You’ll hit someone guilty

    Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
    And blow me in to cry

    Beautiful Wreck by Shawn Mullins

    I?ve lost count of the times I?ve given up on you
    But you make such a beautiful wreck you do
    There?s a tavern on the corner called the Milky Way
    And you look so at home there if makes me afraid

    And at the dark end of this bar
    What a beautiful wreck you are
    When you go too far, beautiful wreck you are

    Well all the plans that you had
    from seven years ago
    Like all the promises you make
    I watched them come and go
    You put your keys in the car but it wouldn?t drive
    With your hands on the wheel lookin? barely alive
    I?m still sitting here waiting on the passenger side
    For you to make up your mind
    For you to make up your mind

    At the dark end of this bar
    What a beautiful wreck you are
    When you go too far,
    Beautiful wreck you are
    What a beautiful, such a beautiful
    A beautiful wreck you are
    What a beautiful, sucha a beautiful wreck

    I?ve lost count of the times I?ve given up on you
    But you make such a beautiful wreck you do
    Yeah, you make such a beautiful wreck you do
    You make such a beautiful wreck you do

    At the dark end of this bar
    What a beautiful wreck you are
    When you go too far
    Beautiful wreck you are
    What a beautiful, such a beautiful
    Beautiful wreck you are
    What a beautiful, such a beautiful
    Beautiful wreck you are

    Mystery By Charlie Hall (The Bright Sadness)

    Sweet Jesus Christ my sanity
    Sweet Jesus Christ my clarity
    Bread of heaven, broken for me
    Cup of salvation held up to drink
    Jesus the Mystery

    Christ has die and
    Christ is risen,
    and Christ will come again

    Sweet Jesus Christ my sanity
    Sweet Jesus Christ my clarity
    Bread of heaven broken for me
    Cup of salvation held up to drink
    Jesus the Mystery

    Christ has die and
    Christ is risen,
    and Christ will come again

    Celebrate his death and rising
    Lift your eyes, proclaim his come
    Celebrate his death and rising
    Lift you eyes, lift your eyes

    Celebrate his death and rising
    Lift your eyes, proclaim his come
    Celebrate his death and rising
    Lift you eyes, lift your eyes

    Christ has die and
    Christ is risen,
    and Christ will come again

    Sweet Jesus Christ my sanity
    Sweet Jesus Christ my clarity
    Bread of heaven, broken for me
    Cup of salvation held up to drink

    Amazing by Aerosmith
    Wrote about it on my blog today. It’s so weird that you posted this today because I have just been thinking about the lyrics to this song sooo much and considered posting it earlier in the week.
    http://www.dandeliondayz.com/2008/12/amazing.html

    I kept the right ones out
    And let the wrong ones in
    Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
    There were times in my life
    When I was goin’ insane
    Tryin’ to walk through
    The pain

    When I lost my grip
    And I hit the floor
    Yeah,I thought I could leave but couldn’t get out the door
    I was so sick and tired
    Of livin’ a lie
    I was wishin that I
    Would die

    It’s Amazing
    With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
    It’s Amazing
    When the moment arrives that you know you’ll be alright
    It’s Amazing
    And I’m sayin’ a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

    // Copeland ~ “You Have My Attention”

    Quiet now.
    Your voice sings miles away
    but somehow I hear your song resound
    A little bit softer each day
    And from my tired heart, a little bit farther away.

    I?ll sing along
    The whole day through.
    Just do your best to hear me.
    It?s all you can do.

    You have my attention
    Like you?ve had all the while,
    Since that first day when you made my heart smile,
    With loving eyes and tired sighs that follow.
    You have my attention
    Like a shout through an empty sanctuary.
    Speak but a whisper;
    I?ll hear a sermon

    I?ll sing along
    the whole day through.
    Just do your best to hear me.
    It?s all you can do.

    I?ll sing along
    the whole night through.
    While you sleep safely,
    I?ll be thinking about you.

    You have my attention.

    “You Found Me” – The Fray

    I found God on the corner of First in Amistad
    where the West was all but one.
    All alone,
    smoking his last cigarette,
    I said “where you been?”
    He said, “ask anything.”

    Where were you
    when everything was falling apart?
    All my days,
    spent by the telephone.
    that never rang.
    All i needed was a call
    that never came.
    The corner of First and Amistad…

    Lost and insecure,
    You found me, you found me
    Lying on the floor,
    surrounded, surrounded.
    Why’d you have to wait?
    Where were you? Where were you?
    just a little late…
    You found me, you found me

    In the end,
    everyone ends up alone.
    Losing her,
    the only one who’s ever known
    who I am, who I’m not, and who I wanna be.
    no way to know
    how long she will be next to me…

    Lost and insecure,
    You found me, you found me.
    Lying on the floor,
    surrounded, surrounded.
    why’d you have to wait?
    Where were you? Where were you?
    Just a little late,
    You found me, you found me.

    Early morning,
    city breaks.
    I’ve been calling
    for years and years and years and years.
    and you never left me no messages;
    never sent me no letters;
    you’ve got some kind of nerve
    taking all of our world.

    Lost and insecure,
    You found me, you found me
    Lying on the floor,
    Where were you? Where were you?

    Lost and insecure,
    You found me, you found me.
    lying on the floor,
    surrounded, surrounded.
    Why’d you have to wait?
    Where were you? Where were you?
    Just a little late,
    you found me, you found me.

    Why’d you have to wait,
    To find me?
    To find me?

    -Change –
    and it?s a sad picture, the final blow hits You
    somebody else gets what yOu wanted again
    you know it?s all the same, another time and place
    repeating history and yoU?re getting sick of it
    but i believe in whatever you do
    and i?ll do anything to see it through

    chorus
    because these things will change
    can you feel it now?
    these walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
    this revolution, the tiMe will come
    for us to finAlly win
    we sing hallelujah, we sing hallelujah

    so we?ve been outnumbereD
    raided and now cornerEd
    it?s hard to fighT when the fight ain?t fair
    we?re getting stronger now
    find tHings they never found
    they might be bIgger
    but we?re faster and Never scared

    you can walk away, say we don?t need this
    but there?s somethinG in your eyeS
    says we Can beat tHis

    repeat chorus

    tonight we?ll stAnd, get off our kNees
    fiGht for what we?ve workEd for all these years
    and the battle was long, it?s the Fight of OuR lives
    but we?ll stand up chaMpions tonight

    “Words to Build a Life On” (Mike Crawford – Jacob’s Well Church)

    These are words to build a life on
    These are Your words how can they be mine
    These are words to build a life on
    These are Your words I want them to be mine

    Blessed are the poor
    Blessed are the weak
    Blessed are the ones
    Who can barely speak

    Blessed in your hurt
    Blessed in your pain
    Blessed when your teardrops
    Are falling down like rain

    Blessed when you’re broken
    Blessed when you’re blind
    Blessed when you’re fragile
    When you have lost your mind

    Blessed when you’re desperate
    Blessed when you’re scared
    Blessed when you’re lonely
    Blessed when you’ve failed

    Blessed when you’re beat up
    Blessed when you’re bruised
    Blessed when you’re tore down
    Blessed when you’re used

    These are words to build a life on
    These are Your words how can they be mine
    These are words to build a life on
    These are Your words I want them to be mine

    Blessed when you’re heartbroke
    Blessed when you’re fired
    Blessed when you’re choked up
    Blessed when you’re tired

    Blessed when the plans
    That you so carefully laid
    End up in the junkyard
    With all the trash you made

    Blessed when you feel like
    Giving up the ghost
    Blessed when your loved ones
    Are the ones who hurt you most

    Blessed when you lose your
    Own identity
    Then blessed when you find it
    And it has been redeemed

    Blessed when you see what
    Your friends can never be
    Blessed with your eyes closed
    Then blessed you see Me

    These are words to build a life on
    These are Your words how can they be mine
    These are words to build a life on
    These are Your words I want them to be mine

    Blessed when you’re hungry
    Blessed when you thirst
    Cause that’s when you will eat of
    The bread that matters most

    Blessed when you’re put down
    Because of me you’re dissed
    Because of me you’re kicked out
    They take you off their list

    You know you’re on the mark
    You know you’ve got it right
    You are to be my salt
    You are to be my light

    So bring out all the flavour
    In the feast of this My world
    And light up all the colours
    Let the banner be unfurled

    Shout it from the rooftops
    Let the trumpets ring
    Sing your freaking lungs out
    Jesus Christ is King!

    Jesus is my Saviour
    Jesus is divine
    Jesus is my answer
    Jesus is my life

    These are words to build a life on
    These are Your words how can they be mine
    These are words to build a life on
    These are Your words I want them to be mine

    Give us ears that we may hear them
    voice that we may sing them
    life that we may live them
    hope that we may give them
    hearts that we can feel them
    eyes that we can see them
    thoughts that we may think them
    tongues that we may speak Your words

    Cheers!

    High Plains Drifter-Beastie Boys

    ‘Cause I’m a high plains drifter
    And I’m the drifter
    The high plains drifter
    And I’m the drifter
    They can’t catch me never gonna find me
    They’re never gonna know that I’m the High Plains Drifter

    Pulled over to the river to take a rest
    Pulled out a pair of pliers and pulled the bullet out of my chest
    Fear and loathing across the country listening to my 8 track
    Reached behind the seat and grabbed a Kool from the pack
    Long distance from my girl and I’m talking on the cellular
    She said that she was sorry and I said yeah the hell you were
    Check my rear view mirror check the gold tooth display
    Check the odometer and I was on my way
    Cause I’m a high plains drifter the best that you can get
    A strapped shoplifter a pirate on cassette
    Bust a Travis Bickle when I feel that I’m getting pushed
    Don’t step to me or you’re gonna get mushed
    Doing 120 plowing over mail boxes
    Radar detector to tell me where the cops is
    Spend another night at the Motel 6
    It’s five dollars extra get the porno flicks
    (and then I) Concoct a black and tan in my brandy snifter
    I’m a kleptomaniac K-Mart shoplifter
    Cash flow getting low so I had to pull a job
    I found a nice place to visit but a better place to rob
    Left the car outside with the engine still revvin’
    Time to get busy at 7-Eleven
    Went inside to make my withdrawal
    I saw all that he had, but I had to take it all
    Knucklehead deli tried to gyp me on the price
    So I clocked him off the turban with the bag of ice
    ‘Cos I’m mellow like Jell-O, cool like lemonade
    Made my getaway and I thought that I had it made
    I feel like Steve McQueen a former movie star
    Look in my rearview mirror seen a police car
    Ballantine quarts with the puzzle on the cap
    I couldn’t help but notice I was caught in a speed trap
    Dirty Mary Crazy Larry on the run from Dirty Harry
    Stash the cash in the dash but my gun I did carry
    I’m seeing blue and red flashing deep in the night
    I got my alibi straight and I pulled over to the right
    Cop knocked on my window and said “Boy where’s the fire?
    You’ve got a mailbox on your bumper and a bald front tire
    *Outta the car longhair* your goose is cooked”
    Read me my rights fingerprinted and booked
    Makin’ like a D.T. driving a Grand Fury
    Wherever I hang my hat’s my home and my past is kind of blurry
    Every dog will have its day and mine will be in front of a jury
    I’m the High Plains Drifter and I’m never in a hurry
    Read me my rights as if I didn’t know this
    Threw me in the tank with the drunk called Otis
    With his five o’ clock shadow he smelled of 3-day old beer
    My man turned to me and said “Why are you here?”
    I said, “I’m charming and dashing, I’m rental car bashing
    Phony paper passing at Nix Check Cashing”
    Went before the judge he sent me to the Brooklyn House of D.
    He said you behave son or we’ll throw away the key
    Houdini’d out the cuffs I kicked the screw in the knee
    Took the bailiff’s wallet and went straight to O.T.B.
    I had a good feeling easy come easy go
    I bet on one horse to win and your mother to show
    And sure enough that nag came in
    Brought my ticket to the window and collected my win
    And then I, broke into my new car with a wire coat hanger
    Hot wired hot wheeled and *Suzy is a headbanger*

    I woke up this morn with this chorus running through my head. Not sure who to give credit to, but here goes:

    I am free to run
    I am free to dance
    I AM FREE TO LIVE FOR YOU
    I am free!!!

    Glory to God, I am FREE!!!!

    Mary, did you know
    that your baby boy will one day walk on water?

    Mary, did you know
    that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?

    Did you know,
    that your baby boy has come to make you new?
    This child that you’ve delivered,
    will soon deliver you.

    Mary, did you know
    that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?

    Mary, did you know
    your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?

    Did you know,
    that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
    When you kiss your little baby,
    you’ve kissed the face of God.

    The blind will see
    The deaf will hear
    The dead will live again.
    The lame will leap
    The dumb will speak
    The praises of The Lamb.

    Mary, did you know
    that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?

    Mary, did you know
    that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?

    Did you know,
    that your baby boy is heaven’s perfect lamb?
    This sleeping child you’re holding, is the great I AM

    Now My Feet Won’t Touch the Ground
    Coldplay, from Prospekt’s March

    Let me go boys
    let me go
    push my boat from the highest cliff to the sea below

    if rocks are waiting boys
    if rocks are waiting
    swoop down from the sky and catch me like a bird of prey

    now my feet wont touch the ground
    now my head wont stop
    you wait a lifetime to be found
    now my feet wont touch the ground

    singing now my feet wont touch the ground
    now my head wont stop
    you wait a lifetime to be found
    now my feet wont touch the ground

    now my feet wont touch the ground

    yonder mountain string band – things you’re selling.
    *if you can dig a little bluegrass, this band is GREAT!!

    well I don’t need more guilt here in my life
    how the hell is that supposed to help me find the light?
    and I don’t need you preaching at me day and night
    about the way I look, the way I walk, the way I dress or the way I talk
    there’s something that you think you see – like you ever looked at me
    you say you got it figured out, and you seem so damn proud about it
    I never really trusted folks who have to talk so loud

    that ain’t to say you never looked me in the eye
    but looking isn’t seeing, when you just can’t spare the time
    besides you’re selling things I just don’t feel like buying
    like guilt and pain, and fear and shame. who to thank and who to blame.
    a set of rules that’s bound to keep the living out of life.
    who to love and who to hate. what’s too soon and what’s too late.
    or some test you have to pass before you feel the love of God.

    well I don’t need some fear of afterlife.
    how the hell is that supposed to help me find the light?
    and I don’t need you preaching at me day and night
    about the things I do, the things I don’t. what I will and what I won’t.
    there’s fire in your eyes, sir. and it chills me to the bone.
    you say you got it figured out. and you seem so damn proud about it.
    I never really trusted folks who have to talk so loud.

    so thanks a lot man, but I’ll be moving on.
    yours is a hateful sermon, and it take too damn long – you see.
    life is short and I’m gonna spend mine searching for the light.

    I’m just searching for the light.

    The Power of Your Name-Lincoln Brewster

    Lyrics:

    Surely children weren’t made for the streets
    And fathers were not made to leave
    Surely this isn’t how it should be
    Let Your Kingdom come

    Surely nations were not made for war
    Or the broken meant to be ignored
    Surely this just can’t be what You saw
    Let Your Kingdom come
    Here in my heart

    I will live
    To carry Your compassion
    To love a world that’s broken
    To be Your hands and feet
    I will give
    With the life that I’ve been given
    And go beyond religion
    To see the world be changed
    By the power of Your name

    Surely life wasn’t made to regret
    And the lost were not made to forget
    Surely faith without action is dead
    Let Your Kingdom come
    Lord break this heart

    Your name
    Is a shelter for the hurting
    Jesus Your name
    Is a refuge for the weak
    Only Your name
    Can redeem the undeserving
    Jesus Your name
    Holds everything I need

    Fear not, said he, for mighty dread
    Had seized their troubled minds
    Glad tidings of great joy I bring
    To you and all mankind

    To you in David’s town this day
    Is born of David’s line
    The Savior who is Christ the Lord
    And this shall be the sign

    The heavenly babe you there shall find
    To human view displayed
    All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands
    And in a manger laid

    Hallelujah …

    You never minded calling me a child
    Well, I guess that’s how I acted all the while

    I just wanted to know why oh why

    It Takes Two by Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock

    It takes two to make a thing go right
    It takes two to make it outta sight
    Hit it!

    I wanna rock right now
    I’m Rob Base and I came to get down
    I’m not internationally known
    But I’m known to rock the microphone
    Because I get stoopid, I mean outrageous
    Stay away from me if you’re contagious
    ‘Cause I’m the winner, no, I’m not the loser
    To be an M.C. is what I choose ‘a
    Ladies love me, girls adore me
    I mean even the ones who never saw me
    Like the way that I rhyme at a show
    The reason why, man, I don’t know
    So let’s go, ’cause

    It takes two to make a thing go right
    It takes two to make it outta sight
    Hit it!

    My name is Rob, I gotta real funky concept
    Listen up, ’cause I’m gonna keep you in step
    I got an idea
    That I wanna share
    You don’t like it? So what, I don’t care
    I’m number one, the uno, I like comp
    Bring all the suckers ’cause all them I’ll stomp
    Bold and black but I won’t protect
    All of my followers ’cause all I want is respect
    I’m not a doctor, put them in rapture
    A slick brother that can easy outfox ya
    Cause I’m Rob, the last name Base, yeah
    And on the mike, I’m known to be the freshest
    So let’s start, it shouldn’t be too hard
    I’m not a sucker so I don’t need a bodyguard
    I won’t fess, wear a bulletproof vest
    Don’t smoke buddha, can’t stand sess, yes

    It takes two to make a thing go right
    It takes two to make it outta sight
    Hit it!

    The situation that the Base is in
    I’m kinda stingy that’s why I don’t wanna lend
    A funky rhyme to a foe or a good friend
    But listen up ’cause I want you to comprehend
    ‘Cause I’m the leader, the man superior
    I take care of ya and then ya get wearier
    So just sit, my rhymes arenot counterfeit
    The record sells which makes this one a hit
    It won’t hurt to listen to Red Alert
    Take off your shirt
    Make sure it don’t hit the dirt
    I like the kids–the guys, the girls
    I want the ducats ’cause this is Rob Base’s world
    I’m on a mission, ya better just listen
    To my rhymes ’cause I’m all about dissin’
    ‘Cause

    It takes two to make a thing go right
    It takes two to make it outta sight
    Hit it!

    I stand alone, don’t need anyone
    ‘Cause I’m Rob, just came ot have fun
    Don’t need friends that act like foes
    ‘Cause I’m Rob Base, the one who knows
    About things that make ya get weary
    Don’t cheer me, just hear me
    Out ’cause I got the clout–shout (Ho!)
    Before I turn the party out
    I won’t stutter–
    Project my voice, speak clearly
    So you can be my choice
    On stage or on record
    Go to the Wiz and select it
    Take it off the rack, if it’s wack put it back
    I like the Whopper, fuck the Big Mac
    If you want static, so let’s go
    So, throw upyour hands
    Go for what you know
    Bro’, I got an ego
    Yo, talkin’ to me? No
    Oh
    ‘Cause Rob is in the front, EZ Rock is on the Back up
    We’re not soft, soyou better just slack up
    ‘Cause I’m cool, calm just like a breeze
    Rock the mike with the help of EZ
    Rock on the set, the music plays
    Only cuts the records that I say

    It takes two to make a thing go right
    It takes two to make it outta sight
    Hit it!

    All right, now, EZ Rock
    now, when I count to three
    I want you ot get busy
    You ready now?
    One, two, three, get loose now!

    It takes two to make a thing go right
    It takes two to make it outta sight
    Hit it!

    Winter by Shawn McDonald

    Sometimes I feel like winter, cold I feel
    Icicles are forming
    It’s hard to tell what is real
    Cold winter, cold winter day

    Frost is on the windshield and it’s hard to see
    Air is like slivers
    It’s hard to breathe
    It’s a cold winter, cold winter day

    Warm me up inside
    And let your face from me not hide
    ‘Cause You are what I long for
    To melt this cold heart of mine
    ‘Cause when You are around I am found

    Sometimes I feel like the prodigal, a wandering weary son
    Gone in search of something beautiful
    Something to make me one
    It’s a cold winter, cold winter day

    The world is full of lies that will only rob you blind
    Hit ya’ when you are not looking
    And steal away your time
    It’s a cold winter, cold winter day

    And warm me up inside
    Let Your face from me not hide
    ‘Cause You are what I long to find
    To melt this cold heart of mine
    And when You are around I am found

    Warm me up inside
    And let your face from me not hide
    ‘Cause You are what I long to find
    To melt this cold heart of mine
    ‘Cause when You are around
    ‘Cause when You are around
    And when You are around I am found

    Away in a Manger, no crib for a bed.
    The Little Lord Jesus, laid down His sweet head.
    The stars in the sky look down where He lay,
    The Little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

    Been Christmas shopping and this song will not get out of my head!
    Hope you had a super great day off, Anne. You think of everything!!!

    Ben Folds – You Don’t Know Me

    I wanna ask you
    Do you ever sit and wonder,
    It’s so strange
    That we could be together for
    So long, and never know, never care
    What goes on in the other one’s head?

    Things I’ve felt but I’ve never said
    You said things that I never said
    So I’ll say something that I should have said long ago:

    (You don’t know me)
    You don’t know me at all
    (You don’t know me)
    You don’t know me at all (at all)

    You could have just propped me up on the table like a mannequin
    Or a cardboard stand-up and paint me (paint me anything)
    Any face that you wanted me
    To be seen.
    We’re
    Damned by the existential moment where
    We saw the couple in the coma and
    It was we were the clich?,
    But we carried on anyway.

    So, sure, I could just close my eyes.
    Yeah, sure, trace and memorize,
    But can you go back once you know

    (You don’t know me)
    You don’t know me at all
    (You don’t know me)
    You don’t know me at all (at all)

    If I’m the person that you think I am
    Clueless chump you seem to think I am
    So easily led astray,
    An errant dog who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash, then
    Why the f*** would you want me back?!

    Maybe it’s because

    (You don’t know me at all)

    (You don’t know me,
    you don’t know me.)

    So, what I’m trying to say is
    What (What?)
    I’m trying to tell you
    It’s not gonna come out like I wanna say it cause I know you’ll only change it.
    (Say it.)

    (You don’t know me)
    You don’t know me at all
    (You don’t know me)
    You don’t know me at all (at all)

    What?

    Crud. This reminds me I forgot to post my “Friday’s Favorites”

    I’ve not been addicted to this song this week but it is fitting for the ninth anniversary of losing my first husband (car accident)

    I Grieve – Peter Gabriel
    It was only one hour ago
    It was all so different then
    There’s nothing yet has really sunk in
    Looks like it always did
    This flesh and bone
    Is just the way that you were tied in
    But there’s no one home
    I grieve…
    for you
    You leave…
    Me

    So hard to move on
    Still loving what’s gone
    They say life carries on…
    Carries on and on and on…
    And on
    The news that truly shocks
    is the empty, empty page
    While the final rattle rocks
    Its empty, empty cage…
    And I can’t handle this
    I grieve…
    For you
    You leave…
    Me

    Let it out and move on
    Missing what’s gone
    They say life carries on…
    They say life carries on and on…
    And on
    Life carries on in the people I meet
    In every one that’s out on the street
    In all the dogs and cats
    In the flies and rats
    the rot and the rust
    In the ashes and the dust
    Life carries on and on and on…
    And on
    Life carries on and on and on…
    Life carries on and on and on…
    And on
    Life carries on and on and on…

    Just the car that we ride in
    The home we reside in
    The face that we hide in
    The way we are tied in
    And life carries on and on and on…
    And on
    Life carries on and on and on…
    Did I dream this belief
    Or did I believe this dream
    Now I can find relief
    I grieve…
