Letra
All she ever wanted when the day turned indigo, Was to leave her grubby life behind her To the buzzing streets below Tainted passion and temptation Led her down a trail of lust Now the fate of Faye Delroy Is written in the dust Written in the dust Oh my rockin chair Rock me tender in the night air Oh my rockin chair Rock me back and make me be there She said her head don't move the same way That ther hand ususlly does That she's got memory bubble Almost like the rest of us And ADD salamanders Cannot figure what to wear And they'll be standing in the closet And every dress is savoir faire Every dress is savoir faire Oh my rockin chair Rock me tender in the night air... Rock me here rock me there Rock me in my rocking chair.. My oh my, rock me tender in the night air... Za va ba, za ba bi ya.... ca va pas? za ba bi ya... Romeo Boyz, they'll b dancing with the Cha Cha Girlz Oh my rockin chair Rock me tender in the night air Oh my rockin chair Rock me back and make me be there.. - Echo3:55

Letra
Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe, It can shake ya,it can make ya It can bring ya to the brink But i'm learning to time myself Turn it easy over, Put some spice back on the shelf, Like elevator buttons go on and on Doors that open and shut without a cause There's something greater than i dare to know Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater And watch it go Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe It can shake ya, it can make ya... The struggle hard and deep Of what i learn to keep along the way everyday, Little one, i take your hand And wonder how i'm gonna help ya be a man... And how i'll help ya understand... lLyfe it can shake ya,it could make ya, It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe It can shake ya, it can make ya It can bring ya to the brink Two steps forward, one step back Cover my mouth, choke And pull down my hat Into the seamless hope of an endless drive Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride White washing down trodden people They're displayed like a grand masquerade Making us feel better that we are brave Like letters that fade into dust Like harmony, kindness and trust Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me Peace, pece in, peace out That's right. what 's it all about? Huh ? Lyfe , it can shake ya, it can make ya It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe. It can bring ya to the bring.. of lyfe Along the way Everyday, lyfe - Same Ol' Story5:54

Letra
An empty street, a quiet smile Without steady feet You know the reckless kind Keep coming, coming back To the same old place With that wild eyed stare Up in your face Lay me down, let me down In a big old town Lay me down, let me down In a big old town He must have lost his soul When he found the rent He wrestles with control Still hasn't pinned it yet Once in, once in a while Loose that cigarette There's always some strange smile Underneath his breath Lay me down, let me down (Lay me down) In a big old town (Lay me down) Lay me down, let me down (Lay me down) In a big old town Passion's fist against a wall The crush of a kiss The rise and fall Take me there, take me there To that wounded sound It's just love's despair Gone and hit the ground Lay me down, let me down (Lay me down) In a big old town (Lay me down) Lay me down, let me down (Lay me down) In a big old town Lay me down, let me down Lay me down - Give It Up3:23

Letra
I'm gonna make a confession Gonna hope that you listen I'm not a story you've read about I'm just what I am And when you open your eyes up In the morning you rise up Wash yesterday from your face And make a new plan Oh it's my fascination With the anticipation If you wanna grab a hold If you wanna grab a hold If you wanna grab a hold Let it go... I'm gonna write down a letter And maybe some day you'll get it And know what I meant to say And make it okay And if you look at my picture You know the one on your dresser And if you think that you see a frown Turn me upside down Why don't you use your imagination? Make it what you have to make it If you wanna grab a hold If you wanna grab a hold If you wanna grab a hold Let it go... You get your grip, I'll hold you up Just reach with your hand And then use your imagination Make it what you have to make it If you wanna grab a hold If you wanna grab a hold If you wanna grab a hold Let it go... Let it go... - Rain On Me4:24
Letra
I saw you gather all your hopes With all your dreams I waved just like a shooting star That once had waved to me I am a love in mid air I think about it i don't care Into the fire of despair Just like a train that goes nowhere But you can rain on me Yea you can rain, rain on me There was a time i got it wrong Is shakes my memory And all the time i had it all It's just i couldn't see I am a robber in the dark Singing about a broken heart Answering whistles in the air Waiting for someone else to care But you can rain on me Yea you can rain on me.... When the rain came tumbling down And both your feet were on the ground, oh. Running fast and free, oh yea Well maybe time's going to wear you out Or maybe you're going to come around , or We'll just wait and see, oh yea... But you can rain on me Yea you can rain on me
