Feel Free
Feel free
Get on the floor and dream
Cutting pictures out of a magazine
Feel free
Feel free
Plant yourself like a seed
And take your time being buried
Feel free
Feel free
Carry a torch in the street
Say you’re full when we know you’re empty
Feel free
Feel free
To fall in love with the people you know
And fall harder for the people you don’t
Feel free
Feel free
Keep it all pristine
Clean, in its original packaging
Feel free
Feel free
Taking it slow and easy
Even though your heart is racing
Feel free
Feel free
Swim alone in the open sea
Bounce around holding a baby
Feel free
Feel free
Hail Satan, doesn’t matter to me
Or you can be the devil every Halloween
Feel free
Feel free
Lay it down, like a wreath
And leap over what’s underneath
Feel free
Feel free
To never listen and always speak
To never learn and try to teach
Feel free
Feel free
Kick a ball at a tree
Trying to retrieve your frisbee
Feel free
Feel free
Let It Bleed or Let It Be
John or Paul, Mick or Keith
Feel free
Feel free
Think of your name on a marquee
Aim for something you can’t see
Feel free
Feel free
Spin around and get dizzy
Do I know him? Who is he?
Feel free
Feel free
Get yourself born in the USA
Love with a love they can’t take away
Feel free
Feel free
Shave your head in the sink
Be brave, don’t think
Feel free
Feel free
Put your love above the part you play
Keep your love away from what you get paid
Feel free
Feel free
Make a record with your friends
Sing a song that never ends
Feel free

One Tiny Flower
The grass is growing
All over town
From the cracks in the sidewalks
Where the shops shut down
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
A wheel rolling to a stop
Blocking out the sun
From where I lay
I know I’m the only one
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
The grass is growing
All over town
From the cracks in the sidewalk
Where all the shops shut down
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower
One tiny flower
One tiny flower (I’m jumping over)
One tiny flower (I’m jumping over)
Skeleton
Under my skin
Blowing in
A low gentle wind
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over
One tiny flower I’m jumping over

Caught Up In The Past
Ace Hotel
Los Angeles
Rooftop party sounds
Drifting down into my bed
I hear people in love
With a love that just can’t last
No one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past
I get so far behind
I forget I’m following
That’s the kind of sad
I wallow in
I’m the last in line
And the line’s moving fast
No one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past
There’s no crown on my head
Golden light instead
In the corner of my eye
You’re still alive
Pull down the gate
Turn out the lights
I’m a rising sun
That only rolls in at night
There’s a fading flag
I keep flying half-mast
But no one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past
There’s no crown on my head
Golden light instead
In the corner of my eye
You’re still alive
Ace Hotel
Los Angeles
Rooftop party sounds
Drifting down into my bed
I hear people in love
With a love that just can’t last
No one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past
Oh it’s a race against time
But you’re never gonna be that fast
’Cause no one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past
No one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past

Forever Never Ends
On the side of the road
In a tuxedo
Three below zero
In a red cummerbund
Highway 13
Not a king not a queen
I didn’t wanna come
To your stupid prom
A hissing road flare
Baby’s breath in her hair
In the middle of nowhere
In the middle of a nightmare
I had to call my dad
I knew he’d be mad
I’d never seen him not mad
Vomit in the frozen grass
Peppermint Schnapps
Well, here come the cops
They don’t even stop
Oh, there they go
Forever never ends
I’m always back there again and again and again
Forever never ends
I’m always back there again and again and again
Forever never ends
I’m always back there again and again and again
Forever never ends
I’m always back there again and again
On the side of the road
In a tuxedo
In the middle of nowhere
In the middle of a nightmare

This is How It Ends
Night time
Up in the air
At the fair
Where you wanted to go
On the old slow
Ferris wheel
Stopped at the top
Where nothing looks real
The stars
Started to spin
When you looked at me
You said
“We can still be friends
Close your eyes
Count to ten
This is how it ends”
Headlights
In her eyes
Butterfly tattoo
Too-tight denim dress
Just a mess
It’s for the best
When the stars start again
Is this really happening?
“We were never friends
Close your eyes
Count to ten
This is how it ends”
“Close your eyes
Count to ten
This is how it ends”

KC Rain
I was born a little sad
I never knew what I had
Mom and dad let it slide
No wonder
I'm never satisfied
I swayed and I swooned
I howled at the moon
Tied myself to the ties
No wonder I'm never satisfied
High in the morning
High in the afternoon
High in evening
When I'm sleeping
I'm with you
Like an old welcome mat
I’m filthy and I’m flat
Now ain’t that the truth
No wonder
I’m so confused
I only care about the cat
Some of this, a little of that
Fat chance I’ll sing the blues
No wonder
I’m so confused
I’m high in the morning
High in the afternoon
High in the evening
When I’m sleeping
I’m with you

Amar Bharati
The arm Amar Bharati
Lifted in the air
Is still there
In the air
Since 1973
It’s every day
It’s every day
It’s every day
It’s every day
It’s every day
The war Amar Bharati
Put in his right hand
He kept it there
In the air
Since 1973
It’s every day
It’s every day
It’s every day
It’s every day
It’s every day
It’s not a made-up story
Or hyperbole
It’s right there
In the air
Since 1973
It’s still there
It’s in the air
It’s still there
It’s in the air
It’s still there
It’s in the air
It’s still there
It’s in the air
(Still there)
(In the air)
(Still there)
(In the air)
(Still there)
(In the air)
(Still there)
(In the air)
(Still there)
(In the air)
(Still there)
(In the air)
(Still there)

My mind is moving fast
Faster than my stash can last
I’d love a quiet day
Someplace where I could go and stay

I’ll need to find a new past
You were sweet, you signed my cast
Now I see clear because
I was not where I thought I was

Lou Reed Was My Babysitter
I wanna sweat next to you
Sweat next to you
With a sticky carpet sucking on my shoes
’Cause rock ‘n’ roll ain’t never gonna lose
Nah-ah
I want you to dance into me
Spill my drink
I wanna feel the kick kickin’ in my teeth
My bleeding heart bleeding to the beat
Uh
Look out
I want you to blow smoke in my eyes
Smoke in my eyes
I wanna shake shake shake shake shake until my shoes untie
’Cause rock ‘n’ roll ain’t ever gonna die
Not as long as you and I are alive
’Cause rock ‘n’ roll is dead
But the dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
Whoo!
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
Raooh!
Look out
I wanna feel everything
I wanna feel everything
I wanna listen to the idiot sing
Until I can’t feel anything
’Cause rock ‘n’ roll is dead
But the dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
Whooo!
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
The dead don’t die
Raaaaoow!
Look out
The dead don’t die x16

Cry Baby Cry
You say you’re the one who saw me first
Standing at the register dying of thirst
Now we’re looking at the moon lying on the roof
Crying tears one-hundred-proof
Cry, baby, cry
Staring deep in the night
I know you try
But you never get it right
So cry, baby, cry
Well that’ll always be how I see you
Walking like you’ve got a rock in your shoe
Some would say that’s just the way you move
When there’s not enough love and too much to prove
Cry, baby, cry
Staring deep in the night
I know you try
But you never get it right
So cry, baby, cry
Cry, baby, cry
Staring deep in the night
I know you try
But you never get it right
So cry, baby, cry
I know you try
But you never get it right
So cry, baby, cry

Enough
Has it ever been enough?
Has it ever been OK?
Have you ever felt full
At the end of a day?
Is your heart high?
Don’t lie
Is your heart higher
Than your mind?
Do you feel like you’re dyin’
Tracin’ a line
Out on your own
Like a complete unknown
Is your heart tired?
Don’t lie
Is your heart hidin’
From your fire?
It’s hard to stay in love
It’s hard to stay in love
It’s hard to stay in love
With everyone
Is there anything to say
That could change your day?
I don’t care about your thoughts
I just want everything you got
Is your heart still tryin’?
Is your heart still alive?
Is your heart still fightin’
To get out of your mind?
It’s hard to stay in love
It’s hard to stay in love
It’s hard to stay in love
With everyone
