I used to rule
the world
Seas would rise
when I gave the word
Now in the morning I
sleep alone
Sweep the streets
I used to own
I used to
roll the dice
Feel the fear in my
enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd
would sing
Now the old
king is dead
Long live
the king
One minute I
held the key
Next the walls
were closed on me
And I discovered that
my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt
and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
my shield
My missionaries
in a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
Once you go
there was never
Never an
honest word
That was when I
ruled the world

It was the wicked
and wild win
Blew down the doors
to let me in
Shattered windows
and the sound of drums
People couldn't
believe what
I'd become
revolutionaries wait
For my head on
a silver plate
Just a puppet on
a lonely string
Ah who would ever
want to be king
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

(Ooooh ooooh
ooooh ooooh ooooh)
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

Another head
hangs lowly
Child's slowly taken
and the violence
Cause such silence
who are we mistaken
But you see
it's not me
It's not my family
in your head
In your head
they are fighting
With their tanks
and their bombs
And their bombs
and their guns
In your head
in your head
They are crying
in your head
In your head
zombie zombie zombie
What's in your head
in your head
Zombie zombie
zombie-

Another mother's
breaking heart is
Taken over
when the violence
Cause silence
we must be mistaken
It's the same
old theme
Since nineteen sixteen
in your head
In your head
they're still fighting
With their tanks
and their bombs
And their bombs
and their guns
In your head
in your head
They are dying
in your head
In your head
zombie zombie zombie
But in your head
in your head
Zombie zombie
zombie-

Well you done done me
and you bet I felt it
I tried to
be chill but
You're so hot
that I melted
I fell right
through the cracks
And now I'm
trying to get back
Before the
cool done run out
I'll be giving
it my bestest
And nothing's
gonna stop me
But divine
intervention
I reckon
it's again my turn to
Win some or
learn some
I won't hesitate
no more no more
It cannot wait
I'm yours~
Uhm~ uhm
(eh eh eh eh eh eh)
Well open up your
mind and see like me
Open up your plans
and damn you're free
Look into your heart
and you'll find
Love love
love love
Listen to the
music of the
Moment people dance
and sing were
Just one
big family
And It's our
God-forsaken
Right to be loved
love loved love loved
So I won't hesitate
no more no more
It cannot
wait I'm sure
There's no
need to complicate
Our time
is short
This is our
fate I'm yours
And du du du du ju
du du ju du ju du du
Du du ju
du du du du
Scooch on
over closer dear
And I will
nibble your ear
Su du ba ba ba ba ba
ba~ ba oh oh oh uhm
I've been
spending way
Too long checking my
tongue in the mirror
And bending
over backwards
Just to try to
see it clearer
But my breath
fogged up the glass
And so I drew a
new face and laughed
I guess what
I'm be saying is
There ain't
no better reason
To rid yourself of
vanity and
Just go
with the seasons
It's what we
aim to do
Our name is
our virtue
But I won't hesitate
no more no more
It cannot
wait I'm yours
Well open up your mind
and see like me
Open up your plans and
damn you're free
Look into your heart
and you'll
Find that the sky
is yours
So please don't please
don't please don't
There's no
need to complicate
Cause our
time is short
This oh

This is out fate
I'm yours~ ah

Du bi di ba

Du du bae du du du bae

An empty street
an empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone
The rooms are
getting smaller
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they
are the days we had
The songs we sang
together oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
that seems so far
So I say
a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
my love
I try to read
I go to work
I'm laughing
with my friends
But I can't stop
to keep myself
From thinking
oh no
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they
are the days we had
The songs we sang
together oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
that seems so far
So I say
a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
to hold you in my arms
To promise you
my love
To tell you
from the heart
You're all
I'm thinking of
I'm reaching
for a love that
Seems so far so so
I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
say a little prayer
Dreams will
take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you
once again
Over seas
from coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you
once again my love-

I used to think that
I wasn't fine enough
And I used
to think that
I wasn't

But I won't

Every breath you take
every move you make
Every bond you break
every step you take
I'll be watching you
every single day
Every word you say
every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor
heart aches
With every step
you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
since you've gone
I've been lost
without a trace
I dream at night
I can only
See your face
I look around
But it's you
I can't replace
I feel
so cold
And I long for
your embrace
I keep crying baby
baby please-

Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor
heart aches
With every step
you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you-
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
Ooh-
I'll be watching you
I'll be
watching you-

For a while
there it was rough
But lately
I've been doin' better
Than the last
four cold
Decembers
I recall
And I see my family
every month
I found a girl
my parents love
She'll come and stay
the night
And I think
I might have it all
And I thank God
every day
For the girl
he sent my way
But I know
the things
He gives me
he can take away
And I hold you
every night
And that's a feelin'
I wanna get used to
But there's no man
as terrified
As the man who stands
to lose you
Oh I hope
I don't lose you
Uhm please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Oh woo
please don't take
I found my mind
I'm feelin' sane
It's been
a while
But I'm findin'
my faith
If everything's good
and it's great
Why do I sit and wait
'til it's gone
Oh I'll tell ya
I know I've got enough
I've got peace
and I've got love
But I'm up
at night
Thinkin' I just might
lose it all
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got oh woo
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
I need
These beautiful things
that I've got

Wise men say
only fools rush in
But I can't help
falling in
love with you
shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
if I can't help falling
in love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand
take my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand take
my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
For I can't help
falling in
love with you.

Time can never mend
the careless whispers
Of a good friend
to the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
there's no comfort
In the truth pain is
all you'll find
Should've known
better yeah-

Oh-- oh-
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
and lead you
To the dance floor
as the music dies
Something
in your eyes
Calls to mind
the silver screen
And all it's said
good-bye
I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet have
got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never
gonna dance again
The way I danced
with you-- oh-
Time can never mend
the careless whispers
Of a good friend
to the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
there's no comfort
In the truth pain is
all you'll find
I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet have
got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never gonna
dance again
The way I danced
with you oh--
Never without
your love-

Tonight the music
seems so loud
I wish that we could
lose this crowd
Maybe it's better
this way
We'd hurt each other
with the things
We'd want to say
we could have been
So good together
we could have lived
This dance forever
but no one's gonna
Dance with me
please stay
And I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet
have got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never gonna
dance again
The way I danced
with you-- ah--
(Now that you're gone)
now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone)
what I did's
So wrong so wrong
that you had to
Leave me
alone-

Today is gonna
be the day that
They're gonna throw it
back to you
By now you should've
somehow realized
What you gotta do
I don't believe that
Anybody feels the way
I do about you now
Backbeat the word is
on the street
That the fire
in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard
it all before
But you never really
had a doubt
I don't believe that
anybody feels the way
I do about you now
and all the roads
We have to walk
are winding
And all the lights
that lead us there
Are blinding
there are many things
That I would like
to say to you
But I don't know how
because maybe
You're gonna be
the one that saves me
And after all
you're my wonderwall
Today was gonna
be the day but
They'll never throw it
back to you
By now you should've
somehow realized
What you're not to do
I don't believe that
Anybody feels the way
I do about you now
And all the roads
that lead you there
Are winding
and all the lights
That lights the way
are blinding
There are many things
that I would like
To say to you
but I don't know how
I said maybe
you're gonna be
The one who saves me
and after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be
the one that saves me
And after all
you're my wonderwall
I said maybe
you're gonna be
The one that saves me
you're gonna be
The one that saves me
you're gonna
Be the one
that saves me-

I will not make
the same mistakes
That you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart
so much misery
I will not break
the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned
The hard way
to never let it
Get that far
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not
too long
Before you point
it out
I cannot cry
because I know
That's weakness
in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
a smile a laugh
Everyday of my life
my heart can't
Possibly break
when it wasn't
Even whole
to start with
Because of you
I never stray
Too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
every night
In your sleep
I was so young
You should have
known better
Than to lean on me
you never thought
Of anyone else
you just saw your pain
And now I cry
in the middle
Of the night
for the same
Damn thing
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest
Just to forget
everything
Because of you
I don't know how to
Let anyone else in
because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
because of you

Oh woo wo oh woo wo
oh woo wo~
You know you love me
I know you care
Just shout whenever
and I'll be there
You want my love
you want my heart
And we will never ever
ever be apart
Are we an item
girl quit playing
We're just friends
what are you saying
Said there's another
look right in my eyes
My first love
broke my heart
For the first time
and I was like
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Oh oh for you I would
have done whatever
And I just can't
believe
We ain't
together
And I wanna
play it cool
But I'm
losin' you
I'll buy you anything
I'll buy you any ring
And I'm in pieces
baby fix me
And just shake me
til' you
Wake me
from this bad dream
I'm going down down
down down
And I just can't
believe my first love
Would be around
and I'm like
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
When I was 13
I had my first love
There was nobody that
compared to my baby
And nobody came
between us
Or could ever
come above
She had me goin' crazy
oh I was star-struck
She woke me up
daily
Don't need no
Starbucks
She made
my heart pound
And skip
a beat
When I see her
in the street
And at school
on the playground
But I really wanna
see her on the weekend
She know
she got me gazin'
Cuz she was
so amazin'
And now my heart is
breakin'
But I just
keep on sayin'
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
I'm gone
now I'm all gone
Now I'm all gone
now I'm all gone
I'm
gone

First things first
I'ma say
All the words
inside my head
I'm fired up
and tired of
The way that things
have been oh woo
The way that things
have been oh woo
Second things second
don't you tell me
What you think
that I could be
I'm the one
at the sail
I'm the master
of my sea oh woo
The master
of my sea oh woo
I was broken
from a young age
Taking my sulking
to the masses
Writing my poems
for the few
That look at me
took to me
Shook to me
feeling me
Singing from heartache
from the pain
Taking my message
from the veins
Speaking my lesson
from the brain
Seeing the beauty
through the
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Third things third
send a prayer
To the ones
up above
All the hate
that you've heard has
Turned your spirit
to a dove oh woo
Your spirit up above
oh woo
I was choking
in the crowd
Building my rain up
in the cloud
Falling like ashes
to the ground
Hoping my feelings
they would drown
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Last things last
by the grace
Of the fire
and the flames
You're the face
of the future
The blood in my veins
oh woo
The blood in my veins
oh woo
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer

Desperado
why don't you come to
Your senses
you've been out
Ridin fences
for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
but I know that
You've got
your reasons
These things
that are pleasin'
You can hurt you
somehow
Don't you draw
the Queen of diamonds
Boy she'll beat you
if she's able
You know
the Queen of hearts
Is always
your best bet
Now it seems to me
some fine things
Have been laid
upon your table
But you only
want the ones
You can't get
desperado
Oh you ain't
gettin no younger
Your pain and
your hunger
They're drivin
you home
And freedom
oh freedom
Well that's just
some people talkin'
Your prison is
walking through
This world all alone
don't you
Feet get cold
in the wintertime
The sky won't snow
and the sun
Won't shine
it's hard to tell
The night time
from the day
And you're losin all
your highs and lows
Ain't it funny
how the feelin
Goes away
desperado
Why don't you
come to your senses
Come down
from your fences
Open the gates
it may be rainin
But there's a rainbow
above you
You'd better
let somebody love you
(Let somebody
love you)
You'd better
let somebody love you
Before
it's too late-

You're insecure
don't know what for
You're turning heads
when you walk
Through
the door
Don't need make-up
to cover up
Being the way
that you are is enough
Everyone else
in the room can see it
Everyone else
but you
Baby you light up
my world
Like
nobody else
The way that you flip
your hair
Gets me
overwhelmed
But when you smile
at the ground
It ain't hard
to tell
You don't know
oh oh
You don't know
you're beautiful
If only you saw
what I could see
You'll understand
why I want you
So desperately
right now
I'm looking at you
and I can't believe
You don't know
oh oh
You don't know
you're beautiful oh oh
That's what makes
you beautiful
So girl come on
you got it wrong
To prove I'm right
I put it in a song
I don't know why
you're being shy
And
turn away
When I look
into your eyes
Everyone else
in the room can see it
Everyone else
but you
Baby you light up
my world
Like
nobody else
The way that you flip
your hair
Gets me
overwhelmed
But when you smile
at the ground
It ain't hard
to tell
You don't know
oh oh
You don't know
you're beautiful
If only you saw
what I can see
You'll understand
why I want you
So desperately
right now
I'm looking at you
and I can't believe
You don't know
oh oh
You don't know
you're beautiful oh oh
That's what makes
you beautiful

Baby you light up
my world
Like
nobody else
The way that you flip
your hair
Gets me
overwhelmed
But when you smile
at the ground
It ain't hard
to tell
(You don't know
oh oh)
You don't know
you're beautiful
Baby you light up
my world
Like
nobody else
The way that you flip
your hair
Gets me
overwhelmed
But when you smile
at the ground
It ain't hard
to tell
You don't know
oh oh
You don't know
you're beautiful
If only you saw
what I can see
You'll understand
why I want you
So desperately
right now
I'm looking at you
and I can't believe
You don't know
oh oh
You don't know
you're beautiful oh oh
You don't know
you're beautiful oh oh
That's what makes
you beautiful

Remember those
walls I built
Well baby they're
tumbling down
And they didn't even
put up a fight
They didn't even
make a sound
I found a way to
let you in
But I never
really had a doubt
Standing in the light
of your halo woo
I got my
angel now
It's like
I've been awakened
Every rule
I had you breakin'
It's the risk
that I'm takin'
I ain't never
gonna shut you out
Everywhere
I'm looking now
I'm surrounded
by your embrace
Baby I can
see your halo
You know you're
my saving grace
You're everything
I need and more
It's written
all over your face
Baby I can
feel your halo
Pray it won't
fade away
I can feel your
halo (halo) halo
I can see your
halo (halo) halo
I can feel your
halo (halo) halo
I can see your
halo (halo) halo woo
Hit me like a
ray of sun
Burning through my
darkest night
You're the
only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to
your light
I swore I'd
never fall again
But this don't even
feel like falling
Gravity
can't forget
To pull me back to
the ground again
Feels like
I've been awakened
Every rule
I had you breakin'
The risk that
I'm takin'
I'm never gonna
shut you out
Everywhere
I'm looking now
I'm surrounded
by your embrace
Baby I can
see your halo
You know you're
my saving grace
You're everything
I need and more
It's written
all over your face
Baby I can
feel your halo
Pray it won't
fade away
I can feel your
halo (halo) halo
I can see your
halo (halo) halo
I can feel your
halo (halo) halo
I can see your
halo (halo) halo
I can feel your
halo (halo) halo
I can see your
halo (halo) halo
I can feel your
halo (halo) halo
I can see your
halo (halo) halo
Woo halo woo~
halo woo woo
Woo~ woo~
woo woo
Everywhere
I'm looking now
I'm surrounded
by your embrace
Baby I can
see your halo
You know you're
my saving grace
You're everything
I need and more
It's written
all over your face
Baby I can
feel your halo
Pray it won't
fade away
I can feel your
halo (halo) halo
I can see your
halo (halo) halo
I can feel your
halo (halo) halo
I can see your
halo (halo) halo
I can feel your
halo (halo) halo
I can see your
halo (halo) halo

halo (halo) halo woo

White shirt
now red my bloody nose
Sleeping you're
on your tippy toes
Creeping around
like no one knows
Think
you're so criminal
Bruises on both
my knees for you
Don't say thank you
or please I do
What I want
when I'm wanting to
My soul
so cynical
So you're
a tough guy
Like it really
rough guy
Just can't get
enough guy
Chest always
so puffed guy
I'm that
bad type
Make your mama
sad type
Make your girlfriend
mad type
Might seduce
your dad type
I'm the bad guy duh
I'm the bad guy
I like it
when you take control
Even if you know
that you don't own me
I'll let you
play the role
I'll be
your animal
My mommy likes to sing
along with me
But she won't sing
this song
If she reads
all the lyrics
She'll pity the men
I know
So you're
a tough guy
Like it really
rough guy
Just can't get
enough guy
Chest always
so puffed guy
I'm that
bad type
Make your mama
sad type
Make your girlfriend
mad type
Might seduce
your dad type
I'm the bad guy duh
I'm the bad guy duh
I'm only good at being
bad bad

I like
when you get mad
I guess
I'm pretty glad
That
you're alone
You said
she's scared of me
I mean
I don't see
What she sees
but maybe it's
'Cause I'm wearing
your cologne
I'm a bad guy I'm
I'm I'm a bad guy
Bad guy bad guy
I'm a bad I'm

Tell me somethin'
girl
Are you happy
in this modern world
Or do you
need more
Is there
somethin' else
You're
searchin' for
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longin' for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
Tell me something
boy
Aren't you
tired
Tryin' to fill
that void
Or do you
need more
Ain't it hard
keeping it so hardcore
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longing for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

Sally called
when she got the word
She said "I suppose
you've heard
but Alice"
Well I rushed to
the window and I
liked outside
Well I could hardly
believe my eyes
as a big limousine
rolled up
into Alice's drive
oh I don't know
why she's leaving or
where she's gonna go
I guess she's got
her reasons
but I just don't
wanna know
cause for twenty
four years
I've been
living next door
to Alice
Twenty four
years just waiting
for a chance
to tell her how
I feel and maybe
get a second glance
Now I gotta get used
to not living next
door to Alice
We grow up together
two kids in park
Caved our initials
deep in the park
mean Alice
Now she walks
through the door
with her head held high
Just for a moment
I caught her eyes
as a big limousine
pulled slowly
out of Alice's drive
Oh I don't know
why she's leaving or
where she's gonna go
I guess she's
got her reasons
but I just don't
wanna know
cause for twenty
four years
I've been
living next door
to Alice
Twenty four
years just waiting
for a chance
to tell her how
I feel and maybe
get a
second glance
Now I gotta
get used to not
living next door
to Alice
Then sally called back
and asked how I felt
She said
"I know how to help
get over Alice"
She said
"Now Alice is gone
but I'm still here
You know I've been
waiting twenty
four years"
And the big
limousine disappeared
I don't know
why she's leaving or
where she's gonna go
I guess she's got
her reasons
but I just don't
wanna know
cause for twenty
four years
I've been
living next door
to Alice
Twenty four years
just waiting
for a chance
to tell her how
I feel and maybe
get a
second glance
But I'll never
get used to not
living next door
to Alice
No I'll never get
used to not
living next door
to Alice.
