growing numbers
growing in speed
can't fight the future
can't fight what i see
people they come together
people they fall apart
no one can stop us now
'cause we are all made of stars
slow slow slide come come
someone come come come
someone's gonna come
some of us come
even love is a goin' 'round
we can't ignore what is goin' 'round
we came when no one was goin' 'round
we can't ignore what is goin' 'round
efforts of lovers
left in my mind
i sing in the reaches
we'll see what we find
people they come together
people they fall apart
no one can stop us now
'cause we are all made of stars
people they come together
and people they fall apart
no one can stop us now
'cause we are all made of stars
slows us light come come
someone come come come
even love is a goin' 'round
you can't ignore what is goin' 'round
slowly rebuilding
i feel it in me
growing in numbers
and growing in peace
people they come together
people they fall apart
no one can stop us now
'cause we are all made of stars
people they come together
and people they fall apart
no one can stop us now
'cause we are all made of stars

Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Good time's the devil
I'm a force of heaven
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
So many time's I'm down
Down down
With the ground
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Whoa, in this world
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
. . .

Lord I want
To be up
In my heart
Be
Ohh
Just in my heart, oh Lord
. . .

I'll use a lock that has no key
Aren't you in chains
That no one else can see
Let the water creep over your face
I'll send it in waves
Just to watch you perform the great escape
How long can you hold your breath
While you hold mine again and wait
Just to watch you perform the great escape
I'll pull your arms tight behind you back
Use myself as weight
And wonder while you fade
How long can you hold your breath
While you hold mine again and wait
Just to watch you perform the great escape

If I was beautiful
If I had the time
They'd flock to me
Bathe me in the wine
I know that's not the way
I know that's not how things are to be
(My baby left)
(My baby left)
(Gone gone)
(Gone gone)
I was always looking
and I held until the time began
Solo things come at me
I look to see where loss had ran
I can have the sun it come
And touch me on my shoulder
Think of all the things that I could
Wish that i had told her
I fly so high
Then fall so low
(I fly so high, I fly so high)
If I was beautiful
If I had the time
You would flock to me
And bathe me in the wine
I know that's not the way
I know that's not how things are to be
If I was like you
With nothing to get around
Then everything would be beautiful
As far as I can see
You'd be sitting here with me
'Till love's end
I fly so high
Then fall so low
I fly so high
Then fall so low
Signs of love (I fly so high)
Away we could run (then fall so low)
I can see the light come peering through the sky in my mind
Closing people come in but also lying on the floor
I would hold you in my arms until we both are home
. . .

One of these mornings
Won't be very long
You will look for me
. . .
|
|
You leave your home for days and days
And I know, said I know
. . .

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me
Extreme ways that that help me
Help me out at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it planned
I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does
Extreme songs that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn't have much to say
I didn't get above the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me along
I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cover me
Too much can make me blind
I've seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn't believe
I would stand in line for this
It's always good in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

One things for sure
Well we got soul
It's a jam for the ladies and the superstars
I could leave the whole set but never go too far
If you're from where-ever to where-ever you are
Get yer jam, get it on

Everybody moves

The ladies
Keep rippin' the spot
Now men what you heard
'Cause women are comin' up
Keepin' it raw
Sexy and rough
Fly from the top
To the bottom it's gonna be
Cut 'em, gut 'em, we got 'em
It's like the old leagues
It's a jam for the ladies and the superstars
I could leave the whole set but never go too far
(Do it superstar)
(Jam on, jam on)
If you're from where-ever to where-ever you are
(MC Lyte, do it right)
You know I can't stand to be held back (it's so fly)
And all the ladies y'all got my back yeah
Even when we're solo in action
We come together like six sets of jacksons
For the ladies and a superstar
Lyte leave the set but never go too far
I toured the world but i'm rollin' it now
Don't want my girl to brag, eve was holdin' it down
Jam for the ladies, we putting it down
Snatchin' the crown 'cause we fend for high ground
It's a jam for the ladies and the superstars
I could leave the whole set but never go too far
(Jam for the ladies)

Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way
They sing to the darkest night
Long before
Why can't I face it
Am I too blind to see
Why did he go
Why did he leave me
Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooo
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Why can't I face it
Am I too blind to see
Why did he go
Why did he leave me
Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooo
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

as the sun was set
and the pieces of light touch your hair
perfect love come softly
with the dawn, the dawn
city once full of people
desolate, is desolate
we look back in
to the ruins where we played
at least we were together
holding hands
flying through the sky
at least we were together
holding hands
flying through the sky
sky
touch your hand
you touch the back of my hand
so many empty nights
just waiting for this, for this
standing there
all heading downsteam
unsteady island
we hear nothing, nothing
at least we were together
holding hands
flying through the sky
at least we were together
holding hands
flying through the sky
sky
at least we were together
holding hands
flying through the sky
at least we were together
holding hands
flying through the sky
at least we were together
holding hands
flying through the sky
at least we were together
holding hands
flying through the sky

oh my baby, don't cry
oh my babe, just say goodbye
oh now baby, don't cry
oh my babe, at least we tried
at least we tried to make it
but in these days I'm so confused
oh my love, at least we had it
let me hold on to you
oh my baby, don't cry
oh my babe, just say goodbye
oh now baby, don't cry
oh my babe, at least we tried
at least we tried but we lost it
i will remember
how you stood there and you smiling
and you smile there with me
oh my baby, don't cry
oh my babe, just say goodbye
oh now baby, don't cry
oh my babe, at least we tried
oh my baby, don't cry
oh my babe, just say goodbye, say goodbye
oh now baby, don't cry
oh my babe, at least we tried, ohh
oh my baby, don't cry
oh my babe, just say goodbye
goodbye my baby, don't cry

(f/ Sinead O'Connor)
the street bears no relief
when everybody's fighting
the street bears no relief
with light so hot and binding
I run the stairs away
and walk into the nighttime
the sadness flows like water
and washes down the heartache
and washes down the heartache
my heart is full
my heart is wide
the saddest song to play
on the strings of my heart
the heat is on its own
the roof seems so inviting
a vantage point is gained
to watch the children fighting
so lead me to the harbour
and float me on the waves
sink me in the ocean
to sleep in a sailor's grave
to sleep in a sailor's grave
my heart is full
my heart is wide
the saddest song to play
on the strings of my heart
my heart is full
my heart is wide, so wide
the saddest song to play
. . .

all round me burdens
seem to fall
I'm not worried at all
I'm not worried at all
I don't worry
all day long
all round me burdens
seem to fall
I'm not worried at all
I'm not worried at all
just I'm not evil
I just can not see
he told me to pray
just for me
all round me burdens
seem to fall
I'm not worried at all
. . .
