I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime.
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time.
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole,
The sands of time for me are running low...
Running low--ooohhh...
When the priest comes to read me the last rites,
I take a look through the bars at the last sights,
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me.
Can it be that there's some sort of error?
Hard to stop the surmounting terror.
Is this really the end, not some crazy dream?
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming,
It's not easy to stop from screaming,
But words escape me when I try to speak.
Tears flow but why am I crying?
After all I'm not afraid of dying.
Don't I believe that there never is an end?
As the guards march me out to the courtyard,
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you".
If there's a God then why does he let me go?
As I walk my life drifts before me.
Though the end is near I'm not sorry.
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.
Mark my words believe my soul lives on.
Don't worry now that I have gone.
I've gone beyond to see the truth.
When you know that your time is close at hand,
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Hallowed be Thy name
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Hallowed be Thy name
Yeah..................................
"There's somethin' wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin' dim
There's meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man that I"...always gives me goosbumps when I hear it. Living on the Edge by Aerosmith.
Pretty much all of "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce, "Bat Out of Hell" (the song not the album) by Meatloaf, and "The Battle of Evermore" by Led Zeppelin...come to think of it, there's probably alot of Zep I could put on here but it would be waaaaaaaay too long. lol
The world today is such a wicked place
Fighting going on between the human race
People got to work just to earn their bread
While people just across the sea are counting their dead
A politician's job they say is very high
For he has to choose who's got to go and die
They can put a man on the moon quite easy
While people here on Earth are dying of all diseases
A woman goes to work every day after day
She just goes to work just to earn her pay
Child sitting crying by a life that's harder
He doesn't even know who is his father
Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Anybody who votes for Boston gets my vote. They're my all-time favorite band...too bad they had such a short career with the original line-up.
I've drank enough beer to float a battleship! Go ahead and Rock & Roll all night if you can but don't party every day!
'I Just Want You' Ozzy Osbourne
There are no unlockable doors, there are no unwindable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs or unsingable songs
There are no unbeatable odds, there are no believable Gods
There are no unnameable names, shall I say it again, yeah?
There are no impossible dreams, there are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much
I just want you
I just want you
There are no uncriminals crimes there are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins or forgivable sins
There are no incurable ills there are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it's true
I don't ask much
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I'm sick and tired of begin' sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I'll buy myself some plastic water
I guess I should have married Lennon's daughter, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There are no unachievable goals there are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate Kings or Queens do you know what I mean, yeah
There are no indisputable truths and there ain't no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you
I just want you
Hey, yeah
I just want you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you, hey
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
They like to get you in a compromising positionThey like to get you there and smile in your faceThey think they're so cut when they got you in that condition
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Advertising signs, they con you into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
Meantime life goes on all around you! - Bob Dylan It's Alright Ma
Grateful Dead/Robert Hunter
I ain't often right but I have never been wrong,
It seldom turns out the way it does in the song,
Once in awhile you get shown the light
in the strangest places if you look at it right - Scarlet Begonias
Inspiration, move me brightly
Light the song with sense and color
Hold away despair - Terrapin Station
Mysterytrain/My lyrics
Way down down the shattered road
Is a fiddle ringing true
It ain’t made of golden strings
Nor the finest wood
Well… she can sing and she sure can dance
As she glides along the key
Evening mistress in a morning dress
I’m gonna marry her someday
Shooting stars up above my head
If I made a wish well this would be it
Heard a wise man whisper son don’t quit
If I raised you right then you won’t give in - As the day slips between
Subterranean misfit in an underground scene
Smoke filled room and a dim lit stage
What could they be playin’ that could make the world move
Revolution calling from the stage to you - Overgrow
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
