Highway 101 Lyrics
4 ContributorsHighway 101 LyricsTake a drive baby up the coast, yea highway 101
I'll pass Ventura and Santa Barbara too, just as fast as my motor runs
Gotta pocket full of memories, some happy and some are sad
Gotta girl standin' by my side through the good times and the bad
Chorus:
Listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain
I believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains
Sick boy, sick girl, looking nice dressed up on a Saturday night
Take a walk downtown for a while and chase the pale moonlight
I can still hear the mission bells and the train rollin' through your town
Gonna leave this world behind, we're Southern California bound
Chorus: x 2
Listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain
I believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains
Follow the palm trees under the California sun
I believe in love now, I believe in love again
Don’t Take Me for Granted Lyrics
[Chorus:]
So take me down the road
Take me to the show
Its something to believe in
That no one else knows
But don't take me for granted
I'm the blood on your guitar
I'm that wave you caught back in 1975
I'm as strong as a thousand armies
I'm as soft as petal on a long stem rose
I am love
[Chorus:]
I'm with you when you're born
You can take me when you die
With all the reasons why
But don't take me for granted
Footprints on My Ceiling Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
Wanna go without a care
Pull Gardenias from her hair
I think of a time we didn't have a care in the world
Captivated by her beauty I knew it was my life long duty
She had all the grace and charm of a radiant queen
[Chorus]
How do you talk without speaking? yeah!
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? yeah!
How do you take without giving?
And keep it all inside?
[Verse 2]
There are footprints on my ceiling
I can't help this fucked up feeling
Something's wrong, you ain't coming 'round here no more
Try to get my thoughts together
I think of a time when things were better
This miscommunication is breaking me down
[Chorus]
How do you talk without speaking? yeah!
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? yeah!
How do you take without giving?
How you treat your new best friend?
[Verse 3]
Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
My heart is heavy slowly sinking
I redirect my desperate thinking
And kiss her red full lips like I did the very first time
[Chorus]
How do you talk without speaking? yeah!
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? yeah!
How do you take without giving?
There are footprints on my ceiling, yeah!
And I kept it bottled up inside... all my life
Nickels and Dimes Lyrics
4 ContributorsNickels and Dimes LyricsI'm a Cadillac tramp at the end of his road
A swap meet rat who's sittin' on gold yeah baby
I'm a guitar gangster without a tune
I'm the baseball bat that's waiting to swing
Your loan shark friend with the broken knees yeah baby
I'm a penthouse pauper with nothing to do
Chorus:
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I'm chasing nickels and dimes
The rest of the world passes me by
Nah, nah, nah… I'm just wasting my time
I'm just sitting here and wondering why
I'm the high rollin' creep that's in too deep
With the slicked back hair and the silver teeth yeah baby
I'm a vagabond king with a stolen crown
I'm a jailhouse poet, a genius, a fool
I'm the pimp who's lost his cool yeah baby
I've got first class taste in a second class town
Chorus:
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I'm chasing nickels and dimes
While the rest of the world passes me by
Nah, nah, nah… I'm just wasting my time
I'm just sitting here and wondering why yea
I'm a loaded gun pointed at the mirror
A drugstore cowboy whose end is near yeah baby
I'm a big time schemer with broken down dreams
I'm a derelict rebel without a cause
I ain't the cat with the sharpest claws no baby
Cause sometimes life just ain't what it seems
Chorus:
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I'm chasing nickels and dimes
While the rest of the world passes me by
Nah, nah, nah… I'm just wasting my time
I'm just sitting here and wondering why
I'm just sitting here and wondering why
And just like you I'm wondering why
Faithless Lyrics
4 ContributorsFaithless LyricsI know a girl who warns of the dangers of love
All the pain and the anguish, the sorrow that it brings
She keeps herself in a world that's protected
Her outsides are tough
But inside her heart longs to sing
Chorus:
Don't let your walls down
You might fall in love, you might fall in love
He's gonna get his girlfriend's name tattooed on his neck
And hope he never, never lives to regret
He's gonna walk down that long dark alley
And what he finds there you know he'll never forget
Chorus:
Don't let your walls down
You might fall in love, you might fall in love
They're crashing down now, you might fall in love
I remember a time I believed
That the words love and pain were both one in the same
I'm gonna trade in my old ways for a new shot at life
I'm gonna change, change my direction
I'm gonna change my ways
Chorus:
Don't let your walls down
You might fall in love, you might fall in love
They're crashing down now
It's you I'm thinking of, it's you I'm thinking of
You might fall in love; it's you I'm thinking of
We might fall in love
Let's fall in love
