*********** Diamonds and Coal************
If its good to complicate
Then both of us are doing fine
Just keep your eyes on your part
And leave me alone to mine
If its good to instigate
We're a fast horse, bet on us
I'm not calling you an animal
I think we just fight too much
Come on!
In spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds start as coal
Both a like in frame of mind
But circumstance got us good
And now you see a side of me
I wish no one ever would
Yeah if its right to pick a fight
We're fingers in a sugar bowl
Life isn't perfect
Even diamonds start as coal
In spite of this we're doing just fine
And diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds start as coal
Even diamonds start as coal
Yeah we're incomplete and if i try
Even diamonds start as coal
Aye!
Give it time girl, the fire feels divine
The sweetest things they burn before they shine
We think way too much (we think way too much)
And we're losing touch (and we're losing touch)
A promise is a promise
Yeah in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds start as coal
Ohhh oooo hoooo oooo ooo
Even diamonds start as coal
Yeah we're incomplete and if i try
Even diamonds start as coal
Aye!
*********** Rogues ***********
I'm keeping an eye on the future, an eye on the past
and the present in my pocket just in case I need a door
to a brave new world where all solutions end up in my head
buried to my neck in sand
enough, enough bowing down to disillusion
hats off and applause to rogues and evolution
the ripple effect is too good not to mention
if you're not affected, you're not paying attention
it's too good
it's too good not to have an effect
I'm keeping an eye on the pulse, an ear to the track
and penance in a locket, drop it from the highest floor
when it hits ground I watch it smash to pieces
songs of liberation echo from the dust, the dust
enough bowing down to disillusion
hats off and applause to rogues and evolution
the ripple effect is too good not to mention
if you're not affected, you're not paying attention
it's too good
it's too good not to have an effect
enough, enough, enough, enough, enough
enough, enough, enough, enough
enough bowing down to disillusion
hats off and applause to rogues and revolution
the ripple effect is too good not to mention
if you're not affected, you're not paying attention
it's too good
it's too good
it's too good
************* Paper Shoes ***************
I fly
I soar
this I adore
and then like a locomotive
the sound of your sorrow comes
I'm tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater
I'd rather be alone
You're 'bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers
but pain will roll off like water on feathers
you'd fly
you'd soar
but then like a locomotive
the sound of your sorrow comes
I'm tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater
I'd rather be on my own
You're 'bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers
but pain will roll off like water on feathers
I'm tired of the way that it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater
I'd rather be on my own
You're 'bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers
but pain will roll off like water on feathers
**************** Pendulous Threads ***********************
Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(thread on my sweater's pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
pull and see how much we can undo
(thread on my sweater's pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
on a burning bridge your
options are minimal at best
depending on where you're standing
and how much breath is in your chest
if it came down to it, would you hightail home and hide
or dance on fire, enjoy the ride?
mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(thread on my sweater's pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
pull and see how much we can undo
(thread on my sweater's pendulous, step back and pull it
watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
at the heart of it all
that innermost, your firey core
there's an amassing armor
that's building you into a bore
life's a match in a gas tank
don't ever mourn the ebbing tide
just dance on fire and enjoy the ride!
hey!
mend this careless thread, it's gone askew
(thread on my sweater's pendulous, step back and pull it

hey!

hey!
hey, hey, hey, hey

*************Love Hurts **************
tonight we drink to youth
and holding fast the truth
don't want to lose what i had as a boy
my heart still lacks a beat
but love is now a feat
as common as a cold day in L.A.
sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
is there a spell that I am under
keeping me from seeing the real thing
love hurts
but sometimes it's a good hurt
and it feels like I'm alive
love sings
when it transcends the bad things
out of heartache, try me
cause without love I won't survive
tethered and abused
stand naked and accused
should I surface, this one man submarine
I only want the truth
so tonight we drink to youth
I never lose what I had as a boy
sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
is there a spell that I am under
keeping me from seeing the real thing
love hurts
but sometimes it's a good hurt
and it feels like I'm alive
love sings
when it transcends the bad things
out of heartache, try me
cause without love I wont survive
love hurts
but sometimes it's a good hurt
and it feels like I'm alive
love sings
when it transcends the bad things
out of heartache, try me
cause without love I wont survive
love hurts, oh oh
love hurts
without love I wont survive
love hurts oh la la la la la la oh
love hurts
without love I wont survive
