Quarterflash

My thoughts keep me insane
Cause earlier I was just tame
And my brain, about to explode
Implode down here next to me
You see the blood dripping
It creeps through
Down to the bottom of my shoes

What's new you ask
A flask that's ready to be filled
And a pill that will pop itself
Double up the dosage
Cause the madness can't contain itself
It's felt everywhere
It's manifested and I've been throughly tested

Wasted, thinking wasted is a new state of mind
And i've got no time to figure out the details
Cause tomorrow I might fail
See the error of my ways
And tonight is my new day
Ready to fade away

Picture the fight
The light flickering back to me
The sounds coming back
Soothing for the moment
A toner that needs to be replaced
And some new voyage that needs to be faced
Laced with fear and apprehension

Tomorrow you're a goner
And tonight I'm a loner
Searching for one more day
To pen the ink that awaits
And tremble below
You can hold me till you cannot
And you can kiss me till you won't
Jumping ship without a notion
Without devotion, void of emotion

Quarterflash playing in the background
The sound of July, back again
And remember when, we were yellow and leaning
Kissing over the side of the bed
Running to catch the Metro
What was left of DC
What you took with me

Lyric post

Some of my favorite lyrics....

Sitting in a park in paris, france
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They wont give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot of lands to see
But I wouldnt want to stay here
Its too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh, but california
California Im coming home
Im going to see the folks I dig
Ill even kiss a sunset pig
California Im coming home

I met a redneck on a grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to sell
Oh the rogue, the red red rogue
He cooked good omelettes and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there
But my heart cried out for you, california
Oh california Im coming home
Oh make me feel good rockn roll band
Im your biggest fan
California, Im coming home

Chorus:

Oh it gets so lonely
When youre walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
Just gives you the blues
Just gives you the blues

So I bought me a ticket
I caught a plane to spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there
Reading rolling stone, reading vogue
They said, how long can you hang around?
I said a week, maybe two,
Just until my skin turns brown
Then Im going home to california
California Im coming home
Oh will you take me as I am
Strung out on another man
California Im coming home

Chorus:

Oh it gets so lonely
When youre walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
More about the war
And the bloody changes
Oh will you take me as l am?
Will you take me as l am?
Will you?

Not just me

I've got my arsenal
Packed and ready
Ready to go
Show you what I made of
Cause its rarely shown
Rarely spoken of
I've got my hope
Packed and lying beneath
For you ready to see
For you to hold onto
And grasp with me
Cause its rarely shown
I've got my love
Out on my own sleeve
For you, ready to trample on
For you, ready to see through
For you to follow my suit
Cause its rarely done
I've got my peace
Not my piece of the pie
For us, ready to demand
For us, we need to demand
For us, its more than a catchphrase
Its a place in our hearts
I've got my fear
And it's lead me here
Shed enough tears on their behalf
They wish to tear me down
But this fear will only keep me around
Help me stand my ground
And I had this hate
And I had this contempt
Which only made it worse
They wish to tear us apart
But while our hearts are breaking
We are taking this stand
Cause its not just my heart
Bleeding through the sleeves
Its just not my hope
Getting me through
Its just not my love
Making me see your heart
Its not just an us vs. them
But the many and the few
All of you
Making a demand
For today, tomorrow, for tonight
And the rest of our lives

The Tipping Point

Your influence is grand
My love, full of demands
Can you be that man
To handle these needs
Feeding this broken heart

Cause the tipping point
Is coming on through
And you can push it on through
Each movement you make
Sways my tears across the mountain

Understand my love
That tomorrow is long away
And today is never ending
And the message you are sending
Is miles down the road

But the hope you have sowed
Of this life, the undertow
Is massive and unruly
Fully showing itself
One day more blessed

So why do I have to question thee?
Are you worth the scars that are to come?
The rays that will burn this skin
And your arms that hold me
Won't be holding on forever

Short lived and tempered
Cause I may be the selfish kind
But my eyes see the hurting lies
Love is a 4 letter lie
And its a waste of my time

Love is a 4 letter word
And it occupied our time
It was just mine
I gave so much
And now my pain is massive

The message I am sending
Is nearer than these tracks
The fact is
I love you
But I can no longer hold on

And the message I am sending
I need someone to tend to this heart
Someone to love it and mend it
And the bliss we knew
Was just reserved for us few

And your influence will always be grand
But you are no longer the man
To handle these needs
To see me through
And I loved you
You, among the few
