“My body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one I love, but my mind holds the key.”
“Crown Of Love They say it fades if you let it, love was made to forget it. i carvedyour name across my eyelids, you pray for rain i pray for blindness.if you still want me, please forgive me, the crown of love is not upon me.if you still want me, please forgive me, because the spark is not within me.i snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom.the only thing that you keep changin' is your name. my love keepsgrowin' still the same, just like cancer, and you won't give me astraight answer!if you still want me, please forgive me, the crown of love has fallen from me.if you still want me, please forgive me, because your hands are not upon me.i shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom.the pains of love, and they keep growin', in my heart there's flowersgrowin' on the grave of our old love, since you gave me a straightanswer.if you still want me, please forgive me, the crown of love is not upon me.if you still want me, please forgive me, because the spark is not within me.it's not within me.it's not within me.you gotta be the one. you gotta be the way. your name is the onlyword, the only word that i can say!”
“The SuburbsIn the suburbs II learned to driveAnd you told me we'd never surviveGrab your mother's keys we're leavin'You always seemed so sureThat one day we'd fight inIn a suburban worldyour part of town gets minorSo you're standin' on the opposite shoreBut by the time the first bombs fellWe were already boredWe were already, already boredSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feelingSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feeling againKids wanna be so hardBut in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yardAnd all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fallAnd all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fallMeant nothin' at allMeant nothin' at allIt meant nothinSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feelingSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feeling and into the nightSo can you understand?Why I want a daughter while I'm still youngI wanna hold her handAnd show her some beautyBefore this damage is doneBut if it's too much to ask, it's too much to askThen send me a sonUnder the overpassIn the parking lot we're still waitingIt's already passedSo move your feet from hot pavement and into the grassCause it's already passedIt's already, already passed!Sometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feelingSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feeling againI'm movin' past the feelingI'm movin' past the feelingIn my dreams we're still screamin'We're still screamin'We're still screamin”
