...Floating along as a melody comes...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~City of Devils

Man once sang to me
Look at you saving the world on your own
And I wonder how things gonna be
As the time here passes so slow

In a city of devils we live
A city of devils we live


Find somebody to learn
Boy, you gotta love someone more than yourself
I can feel the fire of the city lights burn
And it's hard to find Angels in Hell


Flying alone
And I feel like I don't belong
And I can't tell right from the wrong
And why have I been here so long?


In a city of devils we live
A city of devils we live


Questions I can't seem to find
To the answers I already have
And you can't see the sky here at night
So I guess I can't make my way back

Flying alone
And I feel like I don't belong
And I can't tell right from the wrong
And why have I been here so long?

What if I wanted you here
Right now
Would you fall in the fire burn me down
If I wanted you here
Right now
Would you fall in the fire burn me down
If I wanted you here
Right now


In a city of devils we live
a city of devils we live
a city of...


Flying alone
and I feel like I don't belong
and I can't tell right from the wrong
and why have I been here so long?


I don't belong
don't belong
I've been here too long
too long


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Martin Sheen or JFK

Here it is
One more glass for these broken hands
Goes down for you
I've fallen in
I sink then swallow
I never meant
To see this through


All the days
Since I've landed
I lost the way
To find my truth
You float away
And leave me stranded
What's left to say
I'll hurt for you


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~How I Go

I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and traveling sales
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me
The stories exhaled.


And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go


I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said life's a circus and so we are small
Tell you of a girl that I saw
I froze in the moment and she changed it all


And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow
Flow...


Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me


And you keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like timpani drums

Keeping the time while a symphony strums

And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow...
Flow....
Let it flow, let it flow


Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do
And every story I have told is part of you
