    “You say you’re lookin' for someone
    Who’ll pick you up each time you fall
    To gather flowers constantly
    And to come each time you call
    A lover for your life and nothing more

    But it ain't me, babe
    No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
    It ain't me you’re looking for, babe...”

    Bob Dylan

    Why did this fade? This is an awesome idea!

    "So now I am older than my mother and father
    When they had their daughter
    Now what does that say about me
    Oh how could I dream of such a selfless and true love
    Could I wash my hands of
    Just looking out for me
    Oh man what I used to be
    Oh man oh my oh me
    Oh man what I used to be
    Oh man oh my oh me
    In dearth or in excess
    Both the slave and the empress
    Will return to the dirt I guess, naked as when they came
    I wonder if I'll see any faces above me
    Or just cracks in the ceiling
    Nobody else to blame
    Oh man what I used to be
    Oh man oh my oh me
    Oh man that I used to be
    Oh man oh my oh me
    Gold teeth and gold jewelry
    Every piece of your dowry
    Throw them into the tomb with me
    Bury them with my name
    Unless I have someday
    Ran my wandering mind away
    Oh man what I used to be
    Montezuma to Tripoli
    Oh man oh my oh me"

    In The Midnight Hour .....

    Eyes Without a Face
    Billy Idol <3
    https://youtu.be/9OFpfTd0EIs

    I'm all out of hope
    One more bad dream could bring a fall?
    When I'm far from home
    Don't call me on the phone
    To tell me you're alone
    It's easy to deceive
    It's easy to tease
    But hard to get release

    (Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face (les yeux sans visage)
    Eyes without a face (les yeux sans visage)
    Eyes without a face, got no human grace your eyes without a face

    I spend so much time
    Believing all the lies
    To keep the dream alive
    Now it makes me sad
    It makes me mad at truth
    For loving what was you

    (Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face (les yeux sans visage)
    Eyes without a face (les yeux sans visage)
    Eyes without a face, got no human grace your eyes without a face

    When you hear the music you make a dip
    Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
    Steal a car and go to las vegas oh, the gigolo pool
    Hanging out by the state line, turning holy water into wine
    Drinkin' it down
    I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
    Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip
    I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
    Say your prayers
    Say your prayers
    Say your prayers

    Now I close my eyes
    And I wonder why
    I don't despise
    Now all I can do
    Love what was once
    So alive and new
    But it's gone from your eyes
    I'd better realize

    (Les yeux sans visage) eyes without a face (les yeux sans visage)
    Eyes without a face (les yeux sans visage)
    Eyes without a face, got no human grace your eyes without a face

    Such a human waste your eyes without a face
    And now it's getting worse

    And oh the fights we had
    When my brother and I got him mad
    He'd get all boiled up and he'd start to shout
    And I knew what was coming so I tuned him out
    And now the old man's gone, and I'd give all I own
    To hear what he said when I wasn't listening
    To my old man

    While preachers preach of evil fates
    Teachers teach that knowledge waits
    Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
    Goodness hides behind its gates
    But even the president of the United States
    Sometimes must have to stand naked

    It's Alright Ma - Bob Dylan

    So here I am
    I don't wanna be by myself
    And I think you’re *kitten* someone else
    now im gonna have to find a way
    To take the knife out of my back
    And how could you leave me
    Stranded in a closet full of bones


    Puddle of mudd away from me!! Only to find out he was banging someone else :(

    Growing stronger each day 'til it finally reminds her
    To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in her eyes
    That's been gone, but used to be mine

    Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's
    too damn real and in the present tense?
    Or that everybody's on the stage, and it seems like
    you're the only person sitting in the audience?

    My favorite band was playin'
    An Otis Redding song
    When they sang the chorus
    Everybody sang along
    Dan and Margarita
    Were swayin' side by side
    I heard they were divorcin'
    But I guess they let it slide
    And I wished I had some money
    With which to buy a round
    I wished I'd cashed my paycheck
    Before I came to town
    But I reached into my pocket
    Found three twenties and a ten
    It feels so good feelin' good again

    I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
    I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
    Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
    The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
    And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
    For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
    We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
    I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am

    All that I need is the air that I breathe
    And all they I need are the things I don't need
    And all that really matters is what matters to me
    And who of you are like me?
