@ALBUM: brave.and.crazy Author: Melissa Etheridge Album title: Brave And Crazy @SONG: No Souvenirs Hello, hello this is Romeo Calling from a jackpot telephone Shame, shame but I love your name And the way you make the buffalo roam Oh fly, fly I guess this is goodbye Oh you packed up your heart And you left no souvenirs CHORUS But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where I'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs Once, twice I thought it might be nice To come into your kitchen and play Cool, cool just a crazy fool I never saw it any other way Oh wait, wait I guess I'm just too late Oh you made up your mind Love shouldn't be so hard CHORUS No shirts, no shoes No jackets, no blues You car's for sale You forward your mail You're growing your hair You don't want to know where I'm calling you from Or how come CHORUS @SONG: Brave And Crazy If I could have my way I'd be sleeping in the alley On a couch with a friend and a bottle of gin If I could have my way I'd be runnin' with the circus I would be taming all the lions There'd be no denying I was brave and crazy If I could have my way I wouldn't be dreaming, scheming, screaming Oooh, what am I gonna do About you I wishes were horses This beggar would ride I'd have my cake and eat it With a little on the side I'd never want for money I'd never want for friends I wouldn't have to make excuses for the shape that I'm in Shaking and crazy Before I saw your eyes I was in control of my soul on the whole Oooh, what am I gonna do About you Cool as a rule I wouldn't play nobody's fool But I keep on talking Made in the shade I had a perfect cue to fade But I keep on walking If I could have my way I'd check out right now I'd say out to lunch honey thanks a bunch It wouldn't work out anyhow But this desire's too much It's rented out my brain It's showing previews of your body Driving me insane And that's crazy So all that I can do Is to beg, plead, won't you tell me please What am I gonna do About you @SONG: You Used To Love To Dance Lying in a city night A million fingers tingling my skin Out thee in the sea tonight I thought I saw you clutching your sin You rolled me over long ago And told me you were strong enough to go You needed more than this lover's dream You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life In your life CHORUS We laughed and drank in the jukebox light And we tore the rug in that downtown dive Every Saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long And each new tune we said that's our song Oh it felt so right Well ecstasy ain't free But compromise is chance I remember how You used to love to dance They told me you have found your love You moved in locked up and put out your blues Well all God's children got to grow up And play house make vows to hang up their shoes Do you sit and talk over coffee cups Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss You couldn't keep the lies the adrenalin bliss in your life In your life CHORUS I'm gonna go out tonight I'm gonna drive up to the hill I'm gonna dive on into those city lights And I'm gonna dance, dance Dance till I get my fill CHORUS @SONG: The Angels Sometimes I feel like an innocent one To deserve this fate what I have I ever done I know that I made all the rules But time can even change the hopeless ways of fools I love you tonight like I did yesterday I won't think of tomorrow or the price I pay I drink from the well my soul is dry I never know why CHORUS All I want is for your love to be all mine But the angels won't have it All I want is just a little peace of mind But the angels won't have it I thought I had a piece of my soul left to sell I guess it's just as well 'Cause the angels won't have it Who's looking after this see-through heart Someone up there isn't doing their part Oh Cupid you foolish boy You should take better aim with your brand new toy I love you tonight like I did yesterday I don't think of tomorrow or the price I pay I drink from the well my soul is dry I never know why CHORUS So if I die before I wake The innocent one whose heart could never break Lift me up take me out of this bed Watching the angels shake their heads Don't feel sorry for me baby honey don't you cry You can sell all of my clothes you will forget me by and by I'll be riding that train I'll be singing that song But I won't be gone for long 'Cause the angels won't have it CHORUS @SONG: You Can Sleep While I Drive Come on baby let's get out of this town I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down There's a chill in my bones I don't want to be left alone So baby you can sleep while I drive I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar In my pocket I'll carry my harp I got some money I saved Enough to get underway And baby you can sleep while I drive We'll go thorough Tucson up to Santa Fe And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay I'll buy you glasses in Texas a hat from New Orleans And in the morning you can tell me your dreams You know I've seen it before This mist that covers your eyes You've been looking for something That's not in your life My intentions are true Won't you take me with you And baby you can sleep while I drive Oh is it other arms you want to Hold you the stranger The lover you're free Can't you get that with me Come on baby let's get out of this town I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down If you won't take me with you I'll go before night is through And baby you can sleep while I drive @SONG: Testify Morning's hard coffee's cold Pretending that the days mean more than getting old Stale headlines other drenched in pride Marching to their drum with fear standing beside But if I close my eyes and throw back my head I can see his face and I hear the words he said And my memories ache and my senses burn Did he dream too late will we ever learn CHORUS I, I want to testify My love still lives and breathes And my soul is screaming why The thoughts won't let me sleep Don't let hearts break And don't let children cry Before it gets too late I want to testify I take what's said as my daily dread I turn the page and I turn my head I pick I choose on the evening news Cause by cause they fight and one by one they lose Must I live my days in these concrete ways Will the fire break through this smokey haze And I swear tonight I'm gonna find that place It's not the love that dies but the understanding ways CHORUS Rip through the wire that screens in my window Throw open the shade that covers my mind I'm going to touch I've got to believe The bell tolls for me CHORUS @SONG: Let Me Go Am I the snake inside your garden The sugar in your tea The knock upon your backdoor The twist that turns your key Am I the sweat you feel on your head The shadow on your face The tune inside your head that put you here in the first place Well I don't want to be I don't want to be I don't want to be your sweet temptation I don't want to be your new sensation It's just a delicate distraction With just a hint of satisfaction Look me in the eye and let me know If you can't love me that let me go Let me go Let me go Do you try to stay suspended In your deepest fantasy After night has ended The scent of mystery The power of suggestion Tangles up your soul A neutral state between love and hate Is bound to take its toll Well I don't think you know I don't think you know I don't think you know about the screaming You don't understand the meaning You could trade it in for laughter To keep your happy ever after Look me in the eye and let me know If you can't love me then let me go Let me go Let me go Baby in your ivory tower Do you sleep tight dream fight Baby does it wet your appetite Maybe in your darkest hour Am I the keeper of your beast Well I don't want to be I don't want to be So let me go Let me go @SONG: My Back Door When I was a child I dreamed like a child of wonder With my back in the grass My eyes to the sky to see I believed in the stars I knew they cast a spell that I was under With my fingers in the dirt I was part of the earth Every living thing was part of me CHORUS But it's gone, it's gone It's gone, it's gone, gone I can't feel it I can't feel it Must've found a way out my back door Must've run away out my back door Because it's gone, gone, gone Then I fell in love Love gave me a shot of pure desire There was nothing else like this This unimagined bliss this ecstasy Deep inside the night I believed I saw the light ignite a fire And it burned into the dark It burned deep inside my heart I thought it would burn eternally CHORUS So I run into the street And I'm shouting into the phone Asking everyone I meet I say have you seen it on my doorstep Did you see it in my car Have you seen it in the alley Was it on the back of some guitar Is it sleeping in the hallway Does it cry all night alone Is it selling itself for money Does it want, does it want to come home @SONG: Skin Deep I ain't asking you to keep no secrets My reputation already shot I ain't asking you to commit treason Just tell me if you like it or not Like it or not baby that's they way I want it to be Don't give your heart and soul My love is only skin deep CHORUS I'll give you my time and money I'll give you somewhere to sleep But don't ask me for my heart and soul My love is only skin deep My love is only skin deep My love is only skin deep I ain't looking for no blue-eyed lover That's what stole my baby away I can see your eyes are darker than midnight And that's the time that I want to play I want to play baby that's they way I want it to be Don't give me your heart and soul My love is only skin deep CHORUS CHORUS @SONG: Royal Station 4 / 16 It's so hard to listen to these trains Outside my window here it comes again And it's calling me begging me Follow me down the track And it moans so dark and low Baby ain't comin' back I refuse to believe It could happen to me and you It's lonesome and it's hard and it's true It got this whiskey to take care of my lips I got these long cool steel strings At my fingertips I ain't got nothing to soothe my aching soul Except this screeching and screaming iron To tell me where I ought to go I refuse to believe It could happen to me and you It's lonesome and it's hard and it's true I hear the train sigh And idle down below Why your love is so sweet and while Is something I'll never know It sounds like crying It sounds like letting go Breathing and lying Sinking and dying slow And I watch from my window Touching the cold glass sky As the train rolls down the track I say goodbye Your request matches 1 albums and 10 songs.
