I Need A Minute

Welcome to the land of fire
I hope you brought the right attire,
The crippled man is waiting at the door

He said "your eyes are much too bright"
The things you say are never right,
The sins of all the world lie on your head

So when you see me look the other way
Cause -ohoh- lately all I do is play
All the glasses in the world say "come with me..."

[CHORUS]
I need a minute to get my head straight
Just to hit it before it's too late
In a sin, considering my middle name is 'shake my body'
Take a seat it's glittering, I shake you in, I shake my body

Welcome to the land of fail
I hope you brought your soul for sale
The greeter's still at home I think he died

The land of smash and fairy tale
The truth of life is close to hell
The best you'll be is nearly dead or failed

So when you see me look the other way
Cause lately all i do is say
These the plans i make believe all come with me

[CHORUS]

Oh, perhaps it's all a dream and make believe
Oh, the last of all my dreams but still leave me

[CHORUS]

Uptight

Say goodbye to all your friends
they will miss you when this trends
I get so uptight, I get so uptight
I get so uptight, I get so uptight

(hey) Sit tight green light everybody's out at night, go
why don't you beeline, outshine, everybody blow your mind, go
why don't you see what they're saying, it's crazy, I've seen it
those things they believe in, they get hazy, I think I mean it

When the current drags me in (when the current drags me in)
leave me to the hands of men (leave me to the hands of men)
I get so uptight, I get so uptight
I get so uptight, I get so uptight

(hey) Sit tight green light everybody's out at night, go
why don't you beeline, outshine, everybody blow your mind, go
why don't you see what they're saying, it's crazy, I've seen it
those things they believe in, they get hazy, I think I mean it

(hey) Sit tight green light everybody's out at night, go
why don't you beeline, outshine, everybody blow your mind, go
why don't you see what they're saying, it's crazy, I've seen it
those things they believe in, they get hazy, I think I mean it

Cover Up

There's lights that line these halls
That beckon us to stay
A glimmer in the distance
That gathers all the stray
And when I need it most
It breaks into a song
That runs through all my veins
And helps me to hold on

It was a long night
We ran along into the spotlight
You sang a song that made the children cry
And all the people knew my name
It was a bright light
These lands combine into a great big mass
We sang along to the very last
Oh, the jury stole my fame
And then we grabbed the sun
And it shined into these eyes
Believe me

Cover up, rain down
We wept on the edge of this town
It's all I want it's all we want tonight
I feel it
Cover up, rain down
We wept on the edge of this town
It's all I want it's all we want tonight

Oh, you look so alive
Did you think that we'd cry tonight?
Oh, did you think we'd cry?
Oh, can you feel my heart?
I think I feel it, too
Did you think that we'd die tonight?
Oh, did you think we'd die?

And then we grabbed the sun
And it shined into these eyes
Believe me

Cover up, rain down
We wept on the edge of this town
It's all I want it's all we want tonight
I feel it
Cover up, rain down
We wept on the edge of this town
It's all I want it's all we want tonight

Take my love, take it to the valley where the golden dove
Flies it to the places where the silence screams
Fills it with the noises of our cluttered dreams

Cover up, rain down
We wept on the edge of this town
It's all I want it's all we want tonight
I feel it
Cover up, rain down
We wept on the edge of this town
It's all I want it's all we want tonight

Curse

She barely knew your name
He was just a city, she's just a dirt road
but that never meant a thing
running from the country, she needed out but, he held that diamond ring

Cause I can't sit oh I cant talk
I gotta leave this town and run to you
curse these nights that speak your name
I gotta leave this town and come to you
break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
ha ha ha
break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
she barely knew your name

He was such a worry
no need to hurry
those streets are slick at night
she would never listen
she left it all and headed towards the light
oh your eyes look tired
but love was all she knew
screaming out in agony she gave her life for you

Cause I can't sit oh I cant talk
I gotta leave this town and run to you
curse these nights that speak your name
I gotta leave this town and come to you
break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
ha ha ha
break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
she barely knew your name

Cause I can't sit oh I cant talk
I gotta leave this town and run to you
curse these nights that speak your name
I gotta leave this town and come to you
break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
ha ha ha
break (oh) this (oh) curse (oh)
she barely knew your name

Drive

Get me right, all it takes is silent night
I want my eyes to see these lights
hold hold hold on hold hold on
but when it comes it goes
I am on my knees, oh forgive me
get me right, look at these people flying kites
they seem to live forgotten nights
hold hold hold on hold hold on
but when it comes it goes
I am on my knees
oh forgive me

Drive, I got my head on aright
I got my people strapped tight
I got my head on aright
oh oh oh oh
I, I got my head on aright
I got my people strapped tight
I got my head on aright
oh oh oh oh

Oh get me right, all it takes is starry nights
I want my eyes to see these lights
hold hold hold on hold hold on
but when it comes it goes
I am on my knees
oh forgive me
get me right, look at these seagulls in the air
they seem to yell just like we care
hold hold hold on hold hold on
but when it comes it goes
I am on my knees
oh forgive me

Drive, I got my head on aright
I got my people strapped tight
I got my head on aright
oh oh oh oh
I, I got my head on aright
I got my people strapped tight
I got my head on aright
oh oh oh oh

Drive, I got my head on aright
I got my people strapped tight
I got my head on aright
oh oh oh oh
I, I got my head on aright
I got my people strapped tight
I got my head on aright
oh oh oh oh
