It's nine o'clock
on a Saturday
The regular crowd
shuffles in
There's an old man
sitting next to me
Making love
to his tonic and gin

He says son can you
play me a memory
I'm not really sure
how it goes
But it's sad
and it's sweet
And I knew it
complete
When I wore
a younger man's
Clothes na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

Now John at the bar
is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks
for free
And he's quick
with a joke
Or to light up
your smoke
But there's someplace
that he'd rather be
He says Bill I believe
this is killing me
As the smile ran away
from his face
Well I'm sure that
I could be
A movie star
if I could get out
Of this place na--
na--- na- na-- na-
Now Paul is
a real estate novelist
Who never had time
for a wife
And he's talking
with Davy
Who's still
in the navy
And probably
will be for life

And the waitress is
practicing politics
As the businessmen
slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing
a drink
They call
loneliness
But it's better than
drinking alone

Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

It's a pretty good
crowd for a Saturday
And the manager
give me a smile
'Cause he knows
that it's me
They've been coming
to see
To forget about
life for a while
And the piano
it sounds
Like a carnival
and the microphone
Smells like a beer and
they sit at the bar
And put bread
in my jar
And say man what
are you doing here
Oh- na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

Fly me to the moon
and let me play
Among the stars
let me see what
Spring is like
on Jupiter and Mars
In other words
hold my hand
In other words
darling kiss me
Fill my heart
with song
And let me sing
forever more
You are all
I long for
All I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-

Fly me to the moon
and let me play
Among the stars
let me see what
Spring is like
on Jupiter and Mars
In other words
hold my hand
In other words
darling kiss me
Fill my heart
with song
And let me sing
forever more
You are all
I long for
All I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-

Only you
only you
Fill my heart
with song
And let me sing
forever more
You are all
I long for
All I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you
In other words
I love you-

I am sailing
I am sailing
home again
'cross the sea
I am sailing
stormy waters
To be near you
to be free
I am flying
I am flying
like a bird
'cross the sky
I am flying
passing high clouds
To be with you
to be free
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Through the dark night
far away
I am dying
forever trying
To be with you
Who can say
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Through the dark night
far away
I am dying
Forever trying
To be with you
who can say-

We are sailing
We are sailing
Home again
'cross the sea
We are sailing
Stormy waters
To be near you
to be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
To be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
To be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
to be free
Oh Lord-

Sitting here
wasted and wounded
At this old piano
trying hard
To capture the moment
this morning
I don't know 'cause
a bottle of vodka is
Still lodged
in my head and
Some blond gave me
nightmares
I think
she's still in my bed
As I dream
about movies
They won't make of me
when I'm dead
With an ironclad
first I wake up
And french kiss
the morning
While
some marching band
Keeps its own beat
in my head
While we're talking
About all of the think
That I long to believe
about love and
The truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is
baby you're all
That I need
I want to lay you
On a bed of roses
for tonight
I sleep on a bed
on nails
Ooh I want to be
just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
and lay you down
On a bed of roses
well I'm so far away
That each step
that I take is
On my way home
King's ransom in dimes
I'd given each night
just to see
Through this payphone
still I run out
Of time or it's hard
to get through
Till the bird
on the wire
Flies me back to you
I'll just close
My eyes and whisper
baby
Blind love is true
I want to lay you down
On a bed of roses
for tonight
I sleep on a bed
on nails
Ooh I want to be
just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
and lay you down
On a bed of roses
well this hotel bar
Hangover whiskey's
gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's
crooked
And she's giving me
the eye
I might have said yeah
but I laughed so hard
I think I died
ooh yeah-

When you close
your eyes
Know I'll be thinking
about you
While my mistress
she calls me to stand
In her spotlight again
tonight
I won't be alone
but you know
That don't mean
I'm not lonely
I've got nothing
to prove
For it's you that
I'd die to defend
I want to lay you down
on a bed of roses
For tonight
I sleep on a bed
On nails
ooh I want to be
Just as close as
the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
I want to lay you down
On a bed of roses
for tonight
I sleep on a bed
on nails I want to be
Just as close as
the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
on a bed of roses-

This romeo is
bleeding
But you can't see
his blood
It's nothing
but some feelings
That this old dog
kicked up
It's been raining
since you left me
Now I'm drowning
in the flood
You see I've always
been a fighter
But without you
I give up
Now I can't
sing a love song
Like the way
it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not
that good anymore
But baby
that's just me
And I will love you
baby always
And I'll be there
forever and a day
Always
I'll be there
Till the stars
don't shine
Till the heavens
burst and the words
Don't rhyme
and I know when
I die you'll be
on my mind
And I'll love you
always
Now your pictures
that you left behind
Are just memories
of a different life
Some that made us
laugh some
That made us cry
one that made
You have to say
goodbye
What I'd give to run
my fingers through
Your hair
touch your lips
To hold you near
when you say
Your prayers try
to understand
I've made mistakes
I'm just a man
When he holds
you close
When he pulls
you near
When he says
the words you've been
Needing to hear
I'll wish
I was him cause those
words are mine
To say to you till the
end of time
That I will love you
baby always
And I'll be there
forever and a day
Always
if you told me
To cry for you
I could
If you told me
to die for you
I would
take a look at
My face
there's no price
I won't pay
to say
These words
to you

Well there ain't
no luck
In these loaded dice
but baby if you
Give me just
one more try
We can pack up
our old dreams
And our old lives
we'll find a place
Where the sun still
shines
And I will love you
baby always
And I'll be there
forever and a day
Always
I'll be there
Till the stars
don't shine
Till the heavens
burst and the words
Don't rhyme
and I know when
I die you'll be
on my mind
And I'll love you
always always

I stand alone
in the darkness
The winter of my life
came- so fast
Memories go back
to childhood
To days I still recall
oh how happy I was--
Then there was
no sorrow
There was no pain
walking through
The- green-- fields
sunshine in my eyes
I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever-

I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever
Would you wait
for me forever
Will you wait
for me forever-

I could stay awake
just to hear
You breathing
watch you smile
While you are sleeping
while you're far away
And dreaming
I could spend my life
In this
sweet surrender
I could stay
lost in this moment
Forever
well every moment
Spent with you
is a moment I treasure
I don't wanna close
my eyes
I don't wanna
fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
'Cause even
when I dream of you
The sweetest dream
would never do
I'd still miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
Lying close to you
feeling
Your heart beating
and I'm wondering
What you're dreaming
wondering if it's me
You're seeing
then I kiss your eyes
And thank God
we're together
And I just wanna stay
with you
In this moment forever
forever and ever
I don't wanna close
my eyes
I don't wanna
fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
'Cause even
when I dream of you
The sweetest dream
would never do
I'd still miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
And I don't wanna
miss one smile
And I don't wanna
miss one kiss
Well I just wanna
be with you
Right here with you
just like this
I just wanna
hold you close
Feel your heart
so close to mine
And just stay here
in this moment
For all the rest
of time
Yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah
I don't wanna
close my eyes
I don't wanna
fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
'Cause even
when I dream of you
The sweetest dream
would never do
I'd still miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss you babe
I don't wanna
close my eyes
I don't wanna
fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
'Cause even
when I dream of you
The sweetest dream
would never do
I'd still miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
I don't wanna
close my eyes
I don't wanna
fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing-

Under a lover's sky
I'm gonna be with you
And no one's gonna
be around
If you think that
you won't fall
Well just wait
until 'till the sun
Goes down
underneath
The starlight
starlight
There's a magical
feeling so right
It will steal
your heart tonight
You can try
to resist
Try to hide
from my kiss
But you know
but you know
That you can't fight
the moonlight
Deep
in the dark
You'll surrender
your heart
But you know
but you know
That you can't fight
the moonlight no- o
You can't
fight it
It's gonna get to
your heart
There's
no escaping love
Once a gentle breeze
(once a gentle breeze)
Sweeps it's spell
upon your heart
And no matter
what you think
It won't be
to long
'Till you're
in my arms underneath
The starlight
starlight
We'll be lost
in the rhythm so right
It will steal
your heart tonight
You can try
to resist
Try to hide
from my kiss
But you know
but you know
That you can't fight
the moonlight
Deep
in the dark
You'll surrender
your heart
But you know
but you know
That you can't fight
the moonlight no- o
You can't
fight it
No- o matter
what you do
The night is gonna
get to you
(You're gonna know
that I know)
(You're gonna know
that I know)
Don't try you're never
gonna win underneath
The starlight
starlight
There's a magical
feeling so right
It will steal
your heart tonight
You can try-
(to resist
Try to hide
from my kiss
But you know)
but you know
That you can't fight
the moonlight
Deep
in the dark
You'll surrender
your heart
But you know
but you know
That you can't fight
the moonlight no- o
You can't fight it
you can try to resist
Try to hide
from my kiss
But you know
but you know
That you can't
can't fight
The moonlight deep
in the dark
You'll surrender
your heart
But you know
but you know
That you can't fight
the moonlight no- o
You can't
fight it
It's gonna get to
your heart-

Look
if you had
One shot
one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it
Or just let it slip yo
his palms are sweaty
Knees weak arms
are heavy
There's vomit
on his sweater
Alredy mom's spaghetti
he's nervous
But on the surface
he looks calm
And ready
to drop bombs
But he keeps on
forgettin
What he wrote down
the whole crowd
Goes so loud yo
he open his mouth
But the words
won't come out
He's chokin how
everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out
time's up over bloah
Snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
Oh there goes rabbit
he choked
He's so mad
but he won't
Give up that is he
no he won't have it
He knows his whole
back city's ropes
I don't matter
he's dope
He knows that
but he's broke
He's so stacked
that he knows
When he goes back
to his mobile home
That's when it's back
to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
he better go capture
This moment and
hope it don't pass him
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own
it you better
Never let it go ho
you only get one shot
Do not miss
your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once
In a lifetime
you better
The soul's escaping
through this hole
That it's gaping
this world is mine
For the taking
make me king
As we move toward
a new world order
A normal life is borin
but superstardom's
Close to post mortar
it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
he blows us all over
These hoes is
all on him
Coast to coast shows
he's know
As the globetrotter
lonely roads
God only knows
he's know father
From home
he's no father
He goes home
and barely knows
His own daughter
but hold your nose
Cuz here
goes the cold water
His hoes don't want
him no mo
He's cold product
they moved on
To the next schmoe
who flows
He nose dove and
sold nada
So the soap opera is
told and unfolds
I suppose
it's old potna
But the beat goes on
da da dum de dom
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime
you better
No more games
I'm a change
What you call rage
tear this mothafuckin
Roof off like
2 doas cased
I was playing
in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up
And spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin
and stepwritin
The next cypher
best believe
Somebody's payin
the pied piper
All the pain inside
amplified by the fact
That I can't get by
with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide
the right type of
Life for my family
cuz man
These goddam
food stamps
Don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
There's
no Mekhi phifer
This is my life
and these times
Are so hard
and it's getting
Even harder
trying to feed
And water my seed
plus see dishonor
Caught up between
bein a father
And a prima donna
baby mama drama's
Screamin on and
too much for me
To wanna stay
in one spot
Another jam or not
has gotten me
To the point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot fore
I end up in jail
or shot success is
My only mothafuckin
option failure's not
Mam I love you
but this trail has
Got to go
I cannot grow old
In salem's lot so
here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not
cuz maybe
The only opportunity
that I got
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Come once
in a lifetime
You better
you can do anything
You set your mind
to man-

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-

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiated
I wanna break
the spell
That you've created
you're something
Beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be
the death of me
Yeah you will be
the death of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
And our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out

I wanted freedom
bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted
Now that you know
I'm trapped
Since ovulation
you'd never dream of
Breaking
this fixation
You will squeeze
the life out of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
But our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out
How did it

Ooh ooh ooh

Uhm uhm

Some people live
for the fortune
Some people live
just for the fame
Some people live
for the power yeah
Some people live
just to play the game
Some people think that
the physical things
Define
what's within
And I been
there before
But that
life's a bore
So full
of the superficial
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you yeah
Some people search
for a fountain
That promises
forever young
Some people need
three dozen roses
And that's
the only way
To prove you love him
hand me the world
On a silver platter
and what
Good would it be
with no one to share
With no one who truly
cares for me
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything

If I ain't got
you you you
Some people

But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't

Whole wide world

If I ain't got you
with me baby-

Um-------
there's a hero--
If you look inside
your heart-
You don't have
to be afraid
Oh what you are-----
there's an answer---
If you reach
into your soul---
And the sorrow
that you know--
Will melt
away----------
And then a hero
comes along
With the strength
to carry on--
And you cast
your fears aside--
And you know
you can survive---
So when you feel
like hope is gone--
Look inside you and
be strong--
And you finally
see the truth--
That a hero
lies in you--
It's a long-- road--
when you face
The world alone--
no one reaches out
A hand
for you to hold------
You can find--- love--
if you search
Within yourself---
and the emptiness
You felt-- will
disappear------------
And then a hero
comes along
With the strength
to carry on---
And you cast
you fears aside--
And you know
you can survive---
So when you feel
like hope is gone--
Look inside you
and be strong----
And you'll finally
see the truth---
That a hero lies
in you--- oh-----
Lord knows-----
dreams are hard to-
Follow-- but don't let
anyone---
Tear them away-----
hold-- on-----
There will be
tomorrow-- in- time--
You'll find
the way-----
And then a hero
comes along--
With the strength
to carry on---
And you cast
your fears aside----
And you know
you can survive----
So when you feel
like hope is gone---
Look inside you and
be strong---
And you'll finally
see the truth----
That a hero lies
in you-----
That a hero lies
in---- you-
Um---- that a hero
lies in-- you---

When I was a
little bitty baby
My mama would
rock me in the cradle
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
Oh when them
cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick
very much cotton
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
When I was a
little bitty baby
My mama would
rock me in the cradle
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
Oh when them
cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick
very much cotton
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home

When I was a
little bitty baby
My mama would
rock me in the cradle
In them old
cotton fields back home
It was down
in Louisiana
Just about a mile
from Texarkana
In them old
cotton fields back home
In them old
cotton fields back home

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.

Won't even

Like a heart

Way should
