Adrian
Adrian
came home again last summer
Things
just haven't been the same around here
And
people talk, and people stare
Oh
Adrian, come out and play
An
unfortunate accident in a canoe
Doctor
said, 'I'm sorry, not much I can do'
And
the air was so still
And
his eyes, they did not blink
Oh
Adrian, come out and play
Little
Mary Epperson like him
And
she vowed always to watch after him
Still
he did not move
And
the doctor said, 'It's no use'
Oh
Adrian, come out and play
And
she by his side
And
watched the years fly by
He
looked so fragile, he looked so small
And
she wondered why he was still alive at all
Everyone
in town had that I'm-so-sorry look
They
talked in a whispered hush
Said,
'I'd turn the machines off'
But
still she sat by his side
She
said, 'Life he won't be denied'
Oh
Adrian, come out and play
Yellow
flowers decorate his bedroom
Sign
above his door says Welcome Home
But
he just sits and stares
He's
awake but still not there
Oh
Adrian, come out and play
And
she by his side
And
watched the years fly by
He
looked so fragile, he looked so small
And
she wondered why he was still alive at all
Little
Mary Epperson grew up lovely
And
she still comes to visit him on Sundays
He's
like an unused toy
He's
got big hands, but the eyes of a little boy
Oh
Adrian, come out and play
Adrian
came home again last summer
Things
just haven't been the same around here
I'm Sensitive
I was
thinking that I might fly today
Just
to disprove all the things that you say
It
doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your
words can crush things that are unseen, so
Please
be careful with me
I'm
sensitive and I'd like to stay that way
You
always tell me that it's impossible
To
be respected and be a girl
Why's
it gotta be so complicated?
Why
you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
Repeat
I was
thinking that it might do some good
If
we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That
way what they believe will have taken place
And
we'll give it to everybody who has faith, oh
Repeat
I have
this theory that if we're told we're bad
Then
that's the only idea we'll ever have
But
maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday
we will become what we see
Because
anyone can start a conflict
It's
harder yet to disregard it
I'd
rather see the world from another angle
We
are everyday angels
Be
careful with me because I'd like to stay that way
You Were Meant For Me
I hear the clock, it's 6
AM
I feel so far from where
I've been
I've got my eggs, I've got
my pancakes too
I've got my maple syrup,
everything but you
I break the yolks and make
a smiley face
I kind of like it in my
brand new place
Wipe the spots up off the
mirror
Don't leave my keys in the
door
I never put wet towels
On the floor anymore because
Dreams
last so long, even after you're gone
I
know that you love me, and soon you will see
You
were meant for me and I was meant for you
I called
my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled
a cup of coffee, but it didn't wanna talk
So
I picked up the paper, it was more bad news
More
hearts being broken, more people being used
Put
on my coat in the pouring rain
I
saw a movie, it just wasn't the same because
It
was happy, or I was sad and
It
made me miss you, oh so bad because
Repeat
I go
about my business, I'm doing fine
Besides,
what would I say if I had you on the line?
Same
old story, not much to say
Hearts
are broken every day
I
brush my teeth, I put the cap back on
I
know you hate it when I leave the light on
I
pick up a cup and then I turn the sheets down
And
then I take a deep breath and a good look around
Put
on my PJs and hop into bed
I'm
half alive, but I feel mostly dead
I
try and tell myself it'll all be alright
I
just shouldn't think anymore tonight because
Repeat
Yeah,
you were meant for me and I was meant for you
Don't
Don't
walk too close
Don't
breathe so soft
Don't
talk so sweet
Don't
sing
Don't
lay oh so near
Please,
don't let me fall in love with you again
Please
let me forget all those sweet smiles
All
of the passion, all of the heat, the peace, the pain
And
all those blue skies where your words were my freedom
Please,
don't let me fall in love with you again
Too
many times I've cared too much
I
stood on the edge and saw that you held my hand
And
knowing too well I couldn't hide from those eyes
Please,
don't let me fall..
Please,
don't let me fall in love with you again
Daddy
My
bones are tired, Daddy, I don't get enough sleep
I
don't eat as good as I could, Daddy
What's
that say about me?
And
you know, sometimes I sleep past noon, Daddy
I
drink lots of black coffee and I smoke like a chimney
And
yes, I left the refrigerator door half-open, Daddy
What's
that say about me?
You
know, sometimes I want to rip out your throat, Daddy
For
all those things you said that were mean
I'm
gonna make you just as vunerable as I was, Daddy
What's
that say about me?
And
you know, sometimes I want to bash in your teeth, Daddy
I'm
gonna use your tongue as a stamp
I'm
gonna rip your heart out the way you did mine, Daddy
Go
ahead and psycho-analyze that
Because
I'm your creation, I'm your love, Daddy
Grown
up to be and do all those sick things
You
said that I would do
Well,
last night I saw you sneak out
Your
window with your white hood, Daddy
What's
that say about you?
I'm
sloppy, what's that say about you?
I'm
messy, what's that say about you?
My
bones are tired, Daddy
Angel Standing By
All
through the night I'll be watching over you
And
all through the night I'll be standing over you
And
through bad dreams I'll be right there, baby
Telling
you that everything is gonna be all right
And
when you cry I'll be there baby telling you
You
were never nothing less than beautiful
So
don't you worry, I'm your angel standing by
Amen
You're
mother's child, but night lays you down
Hair
aflame, wild look in your eyes
Naked
belly to he ground
A
forest fire nibbles at your vein
Crawls
up your arm, runs away with your mind
And
burns dry thoughts like leaves
Amen
Eyes
stare up, but something's in the way
In
the Bible only angels have wings
And
the rest must wait to be saved
A
dry tongue screams at the sky
But
the wind just breathes words in
As
a strange bird tries to fly
Amen
Pieces
of us die everyday as though out flesh were hell
Such
an unjustice, as children were are told that from God we fell
Where
are my angels? Where is my golden one?
Where
is my hope now that my heroes have gone?
Some
are being beaten, some are being born
And
some can't tell the difference anymore
Amen (x4)
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
