Hey Hey
Cuz you ain't gotta buy no ticket
it's my favorite kinda ride
you ain't gotta bring no baggage
or be all dressed up nice
we ain't got no schedule to follow
ain't goin' no special place
I got two cents in my pocket and a smile on my face
---
I'm singing soul train
I'm talking bout my soul train
soul train
I'm talking bout my soul train
--
you ain't gotta be my color
to come and dance with me
you ain't gotta dress like I do
to let go and be free
you ain't gotta have my values
to sing with me on key
just keep a love within you heart
when you du-keep on dancing
--
inside my soul train
I'm talking bout a soul train
soul train

(chanting: Soul Train)

You get the idea. Soul Train. It doesn't make sense to write out anymore more of them.

White Sky (Breathe)
04:05
|
|

Yeah
Who I am is always harder
to recognize when I'm alone.
Giving in is always harder
knowing when you're needed strong.
So we live
and we hurt
and we try
we try to learn
we forget
who we are
when we're trying
to reckon on
but if I just Breathe
If I just Breathe
If I just Breathe
For the first time in a long time
Flying high is always harder
when your wings are melting down
Getting by takes so much longer
when people try to hound your sound
So we live
and we hurt
and we try
we try to learn
but we can't
let it go
when we're trapped
inside our souls
but if I just Breathe
If I just Breathe
If I just Breathe
For the first time in a long time...
When you let it go
but if I just
Breathe
If I just breathe
If I just breathe
For the first time in a long time
Breathe
If I just breathe
If I just breathe
For the first time in a long time

WHAYOH!
03:56
|
|
||
If you don't really care, then why are you crying?
Whayoh, whayoh
If you don't want me here, then why are you prying?
Whayoh whayoh
If you don't wanna soar, then why are you flying?
Whayoh whayoh
If you don't wanna live, then why are you trying?
Just open your heart to be.
If you don't really feel, then why are hurting?
If you don't like me, then why are you flirting?
If you don't really heal, then why are scabbing?
If you don't want to talk, then why are you gabbing?
If you don't want to see, why are you looking?
If you don't want to breathe, then why aren't you choking?
If you don't want to touch, then why are we hugging?
If you hate everything, then why are you loving?
Just open your heart to be
A wise man once told me you are the only
“you” you have so forget trying to fake your life
We think it's easy to fake and be sleazy
smiling might be easy to do, but it takes a grown man to cry
Just open your heart to be
If you just wanna go, then why are you still here?
If you don't wanna show, then why'dya show up dear?
If you don't wanna taste, then why did you eat it?
If you don wanna dance, then why have a fit?
If you want to believe, then do it; I dare you
If you just want to leave, then why do you stay true?
If you love giving in, then why don't you give up?
Because deep inside you know things'll get better
Just open your heart to be

Here Comes The Bride
03:01
|
|
||
Here comes the bride, all dressed in white.
Starting a lie she'll live until she dies.
Here comes the bride; eyes open wide.
But still, she is blind until she's bound for life.
Until she's bound for life.
Can you feel my heart beat, heart beat slowing, slowing
as the day of, well, our wedding is approaching.
(I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe.
I cannot see, I cannot see.)
Everything seems dimmer shimmer's glimmer
isn't shinny and I think that I have gotten thinner.
(and this is not, and this is not
anxiety, anxiety)
I know things seem okay, but look at history,
domination's course, because it frightens me.
(Forgetting the waltz, forgetting to pause.
Forgetting your fingers are not claws.)
I know right now I am your top priority,
but when I mess up, what will I, will I be?
(Forgetting to blink, forgetting to think.
Forgetting to laugh, forgetting to drink)
Here comes the bride, all dressed in white.
Starting a lie she'll live until she dies.
Here comes the bride; eyes open wide.
But still, she is blind until she's bound for life.
I know you see that I am worsen-worsening,
but you keep quiet for your own agenda's being.
(Body's twitching, mind is glitching;
heart is stopping, legs are numbing.)
How can this love, when I just want to get away?
This cannot be love if I am trying to escape.
(Eyes are squeezing, I am needing
something to see, to maintain me.)
I I I I don't wanna lose myself.
I I I I don't wanna lose myself.
Here comes the bride, all dressed in white.
Starting a lie she'll live until she dies.
Here comes the bride; eyes open wide.
But still, she is blind until she's bound for life.
Here comes the bride, all dressed in white.
Starting a lie she'll live until she dies.

Chivalry Is Dead
04:41
|
|||
This is the original
Unmistakable
Undeniable
Woo!
So your armor's kind of dirty,
and I don't need to be saved
Your lines are overused
and they just will not get you laid
Boy, I hate to bear the bad news
about the way you see this
but my cookies are contained
so honey darling, you can beat it
Goodbye
Cause I don't have the faith in
what you give and what I'm taking
tonight
(tonight, tonight)
Not that it's wrong for you to pay,
But don't get mad if I offer
If I want to pay your way
It's not like I killed your father
Say you like that I am short
But I think it's 'cause you're taller
if you wanna feel that macho
Then you shouldn't even bother
with me
'Cause I don't have the patience
to be taking what you're giving
Baby
I won't say that girls are better
But please get your act together
[Chorus]
'Cause chivalry is dead
They're singing "Off with her head!"
So I know I'll have to save myself somehow
'Cause clearly here I am
Sinking down into the sand
And I'm there without a plan but I'll figure it all out
'Cause chivalry's a show
They're singing "Need not to know"
But it doesn't take a genius to see that I am whole
'Cause I don't want to be
The cult of domesticity
Because that little bubble just isn't home to me
Hah. Okay.
[Verse 2]
So I get that you're a guy
But I'm not your sandwich slave
In fact, I have a friend
Who makes sandwiches for me
I don't think that you're the devil
but you really are not nice
So excuse that burst of violence
that my knee gave to your crotch last night
alright
I swear it was a reflex to the garbage you insisted
to try
I won't act like I am godly, but I wont do what you tell me.
[Chorus]
They're singing
[X11]
They're singing
Off with her, Off with her, Off with her head
[X8]
[Chorus]
'Cause chivalry is dead.

You got me lifted shifted higher than a ceiling
And ooh wee it’s the ultimate feeling
You got me lifted feeling so gifted
Sugar how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
You know its leather when we ride
We're flinging rawhide
Doing what we do, watching screens getting by
Boy you keep it so fly with you sweet lovin fun
You was there when the money was gone
You’ll be there when the money comes
Off top I can't lie I love to get oh oh
You my lil'sugar, I'm yo little chulo
And every time we kick it it’s off to the groovy
Treat you like my sticky ickey or my sweet oowy goowy (fa real though)
You got me lifted shifted higher than a ceiling
And ooh wee it’s the ultimate feeling
You got me lifted feeling so gifted
Sugar how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Now I ain't worried about a thang cause I just hit me a lick
I got a man who says I'm a superfly chick
There ain't nothing you can do to a playa
Cause doowop, he fly like the planes in the air
That’s right he’s full grown setting his own tone
I'm digging the energy and I'm loving the o-zone
So fly like a dove
fly like a raven
Quick to politic with some fly conversation
In a natural mood then he's a natural dude
And we some natural fools hanging out by the pool
I'm like his dorky-cool mama, no blades on my berata
Never Dolce Gabbana with highdrows and a Cubana
You got me lifted shifted higher than a ceiling
And ooh wee it’s the ultimate feeling
You got me lifted feeling so gifted
Sugar how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
So high like I'm a star
So high like I'm a star
So high like I'm a star
So high like I'm a star

Wizard
03:20
|

Are you a wizard?
Are you a magic man?
'Cause it feels like I am flying--
how the hell did you do that?
Are you a wizard?
Can you make my dreams come true?
If you can levitate my heart this way,
I swear I'll follow you.
I swear I'll follow you.
When you tell me I'm pretty, baby
I will say thank you
but I do not agree
I don't think that I'm ugly
because I really love me
I'm above alright it seems
I like how I look,
but I am not a god
so I won't pretend to be
I am pretty cute at best
just forget all the rest
and try to love me for me.
But you've got some kinda way...
Are you a wizard?
Are you a magic man?
'Cause it feels like I am flying--
how the hell did you do that?
Are you a wizard?
Can you make my dreams come true?
If you can levitate my heart this way,
I swear I'll follow you.
I swear I'll follow you.
When I tell you that I love you
but don't try to kiss and hug you
doesn't mean I told a lie
Means I love your very person
and your presence stops the hurting
'best believe that you are mine
I like who you are
and you might be a star
but it's really up to you
because shinning is a duty
just know that you won't lose me
whatever you decide to do
'Cause you got some kinda way
Are you a wizard?
Are you a magic man?
'Cause it feels like I am flying--
how the hell did you do that?
Are you a wizard?
Can you make my dreams come true?
If you can levitate my heart this way,
I swear I'll follow you.
Are you a wizard?
Are you a magic man?
'Cause it feels like I am flying--
how the hell did you do that?
Are you a wizard?
(Are you a wizard?)
Can you make my dreams come true? (True)
If you can levitate my heart this way,
I swear I'll follow you.
(Swear I'll follow you.)
Are you a wizard?
Are you a magic man?
'Cause it feels like I am flying--
how the hell did you do that?
Are you a wizard?
Can you make my dreams come true?
If you can levitate my heart this way,
I swear I'll follow you.
Are you a wizard?
Are you a magic man?
'Cause it feels like I am flying--
how the hell did you do that?
Are you a wizard?
Can you make my dreams come true?
If you can levitate my heart this way,
I swear I'll follow you.

Keisatsu o yobu (警察を呼ぶ)
I think we have a murder scene!
The heart's stoppin' heart throbin;
you can hear it doki doki (どきどき)
Utsukushī (美しい)This lady
110; 119
ground breaking, eye craving;
Man, she's set the world on fire.
--
Rigor mortis hasn't set in
he was really just alive
How could this happen? I'd say that kid
makes 'em drop like flies
reality's formality lies in hidden goals
but the jig is up now, she's stolen our souls
whoa no, it's a beautiful try
but I'm going until she can't deny
Can you hear the music?
It's making me lose it
the the booming in the night
sets up the perfect
place for the zombie apocalypse
heaven knows she's the cause of it
blowing your mind right before ya
Powerful just like Azula
The fire she's churning
out does all the burning
she's taking control
We're paying the toll!

Congratulations on your face
n' baby girl, here is your prize
don't let the world or other girls
convince you that it's all a lie
It's not only your outside dear
that takes them when you meet their eyes
it's all of you, the inside too
your heart and soul and mind.
Can you hear it? It's the spirit
of the culprit who will permit
us to ravel in your beauty (BEAUTY!)
so come on, do it with me!
Feeling pretty, like Maria
Powerful, just like Medea
embrace yourself for what you are
because to us, you are a star.

Pixies and Stardust
03:43

|

When I see pixies and stardust
spontaneously combust
I know the time has come for change
to sing the same old tune with a different muse
and pretend that it's okay
to click my heals and transport home
in some red shoes I don't own
so I stay just where I am
but if I act like I'm psycho, somehow that more normal
because it's trendy, yeah
----
I put my makeup on for me and me alone
and I will sing my song even after I go home
I wanna scream and shout all the things you need to hear
and I'm allowed right now, so please put down your beer
Just for a second, baby
---
You are better than what they give you credit for
so please don't do this to yourself anymore
because I will not stand to see you like this
when you wake up wake up sayin sayin:
“What did I miss?”
“What did I miss miss
what did I miss miss?
Gimmie a kiss” (smooch)
“What did I miss?”
----
When I see pixies and stardust
spontaneously erupt
I know the time has come for shame
to sing the same old tune
so incredibly shrewd
Because I do not know who to blame
I always sing like I know you
though you will be disowned soon
if you cannot change your ways
because frankly my freaking dear,
that stuff just isn't welcome here
so get it all out of my face
----

Just for a second baby...
Just for a second baby
Shh
Sorry?
Just for a second
Shh.

It's going to be okay
everything is going to be okay.

Gimmie a kiss—WHOO!” (smooch)
“What did I miss?”

What did I miss-scat-
ha...uhmmm
heheh eheh.
Well uhh, what'd you miss?
Well ahh. Hm. You're not getting a kiss.
