Switchblade Lyrics
Switchblade, do what I got to, Vacate, coming right at you, Slow down, before you take your last step, This is a test of the; bumps ?n? bruises, You know you get used to, I choose to run with my whole crew, Lock down, it?s gonna be a blackout, Now it?s your turn, let me hear you shout, YEAH! YEAH! I?m gonna teach you, class in session, It?s a long rope, like a flexi-fall, Above ground, do the things you used to, Cause if you could live like me, Underground, lonely sights and lonely sounds, Could you fight the darkness, all around

by Bob Dylan
Well my heart's in the Highlands gentle and fair
Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air
Bluebelles blazing, where the Aberdeen waters flow
Well my heart's in the Highland,
I'm gonna go there when I feel good enough to go
Windows were shakin' all night in my dreams
Everything was exactly the way that it seems
Woke up this morning and I looked at the same old page
Same ol' rat race
Life in the same ol' cage.
I don't want nothing from anyone, ain't that much to take
Wouldn't know the difference between a real blonde and a fake
Feel like a prisoner in a world of mystery
I wish someone would come
And push back the clock for me
Well my heart's in the Highlands wherever I roam
That's where I'll be when I get called home
The wind, it whispers to the buckeyed trees in rhyme
Well my heart's in the Highland,
I can only get there one step at a time.
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound
Someone's always yelling turn it down
Feel like I'm drifting
Drifting from scene the scene
I'm wondering what in the devil could it all possibly mean?
East Asheville Hardware Lyrics
An angel appeared in a holy vision Stood by my bedside in shivering light Spoke my name Told me my mission I could not believe I was hearing him right Because he said, 'Go, my son, go... Always go to East Asheville Hardware Before you go to Lowe's He said, "Go to East Asheville Hardware Before you go to Lowe's You'll help to keep them open I'm worried they might close From the stiff competition From the national conglomerate With the full page ad in the color section of the Sunday paper supple
Insanity is smashing up against my soul
You can say I was on anything but a roll
If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top
What would I do with it anyway
Maybe take it to the pawn shop
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn
By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan
Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low
Well my heart's in the Highlands
Only place left to go
I'm in Boston town, in some restaurant
I got no idea what I want
Well, maybe I do but I'm just really not sure
Waitress comes over
Nobody in the place but me and her
It must be a holiday, there's nobody around
She studies me closely as I sit down
She got a pretty face and long white shiny legs
She says, "What'll it be?"
I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
She looks at me, Says "I'd bring you some
but we're out of 'm, you picked the wrong time to come"
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"
I say, "I would if I could, but,
I don't do sketches from memory."
"Well", she says, "I'm right here in front of you, or haven't you looked?"
Well there's a cruel sun beating Where there once was a river Crops are bending in the heat But still her dark skin shivers When you move to the beat of hungry It's a slow, aching journey She'd hide out but there ain't no shelter She'd cry but there ain't no pity Yet the cool of the night Reveals the spark of a sweeter life So she's dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white Dreamin' in color, livin' in stone cold black and white Sittin'in a grey day, leanin' on a bright new tomorrow Where some rainbow rules will make everything al
She gives me a napkin, she says, "you can do it on that"
I say, "yes I could but,
I don't know where my pencil is at!"
She pulls one out from behind her ear
She says "all right now, go ahead, draw me, I'm standing right here"
I make a few lines, and I show it for her to see
Well she takes a napkin and throws it back
And says "that don't look a thing like me!"
I said, "Oh, kind miss, it most certainly does"
She says, "you must be jokin.'" I say, "I wish I was!"
Then she says, "you don't read women authors, do you?"
Least that's what I think I hear her say,
"Well", I say, "how would you know and what would it matter anyway?"
"Well", she says, "you just don't seem like you do!"
I said, "you're way wrong."
She says, "which ones have you read then?" I say, "I read Erica Jong!"
She goes away for a minute and I slide up out of my chair
I step outside back to the busy street, but nobody's going anywhere
Well my heart's in the Highlands, with the horses and hounds
Way up in the border country, far from the towns
With the twang of the arrow and a s
Walking On Water Lyrics
When you hear me calling, You always come around, And if I'm lost and fallen, I know I will be found, Whatever I am thinking, You always seem to know, Nobody else can do this, It makes me love you so, I'm walking on the water and my head's on fire, I'm flying like a bird but I can't get higher, Nothing I can do, nothing I can say, Will ever be the same in any other way, Talking like a stranger, like I'm someone else, I need to turn around, and recognize myself Baby you're the one, I can't let go, Take me to the places that
nap of the bowWhen you hear me calling, You always come around, And if I'm lost and fallen, I know I will be found, Whatever I am thinking, You always seem to know, Nobody else can do this, It makes me love you so, I'm walking on the water and my head's on fire, I'm flying like a bird but I can't get higher, Nothing I can do, nothing I can say, Will ever be the same in any other way, Talking like a stranger, like I'm someone else, I need to turn around, and recognize myself Baby you're the one, I can't let go, Take me to the places that
My heart's in the Highlands
Can't see any other way to go
Every day is the same thing out the door
Feel further away then ever before
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Well, I'm lost somewhere
I must have made a few bad turns
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes
They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes
All the young men with their young women looking so good
Well, I'd trade places with any of them
In a minute, if I could
I'm crossing the street to get away from a mangy dog
Talking to myself in a monologue
I think what I need might be a full length leather coat
Somebody just asked me
If I registered to vote
The sun is beginning to shine on me
But it's not like the sun that used to be
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
I got new eyes
Everything looks far away
Well, my heart's in the Highlands at the break of day
Over the hills and far away
There's a way to get there, and I'll figure it out somehow
But I'm already there in my mind
And that's good enough for now
