@ALBUM: never_enough Author: Melissa Etheridge Album Title: Never Enough @SONG: Ain't It Heavy Sometimes I know that it's never enough Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough I try with an angel tonight Spread these wings and I'm on for the ride Cruise these streets where my innocence hides There's some things you can't deny What is it about this human condition I need some kind of promise some kind of submission tonight CHORUS: Heavy Ain't it heavy Ain't the night heavy I'm feelin' kinda loose I'm feelin' kinda mean I've been feeling kinda wild since I turned seventeen Or is it madness Tell me where can a woman find any kind of peace When does the fury and the agony cease How long have I got to say please There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade I've been ripping out the seams somebody else made tonight (CHORUS) @SONG: 2001 Well I've been looking Looking for an answer Somebody promised me one And I've been waiting Waiting for the chance Well somebody said it would come Wake me up when we hit 2001 I've been talking Talking to the maker Of the compromise They said she's fine Call the undertaker You shouldn't look surprised Wake me up when we hit 2001 It's barely alive with a story at five So turn your video on We live in these years dark age of fear Meet me in 2001 I saw my sister Saw the ones who twist her A social suicide If looks could kill Each and every cheap thrill Could be a homicide Wake me up when we hit 2001 It's barely alive with a story at five So turn your video on We live in these years dark age of fear Meet me in 2001 I've been searching Searching for a reason To either fight or die Either way patriot or treason It's gonna be one long hard ride Wake me up when we hit 2001 @SONG: Dance Without Sleeping I don't want to talk about it I've done enough I think I don't want to spend more money Don't want another drink I would scratch out all the images If I had the chance Don't ask me what I'm thinking Can't you see I only want to dance CHORUS: Dance without sleeping Dance without fear Dance without senses no message I hear Dance without sleeping Dance till I'm numb Dance till I think I can overcome Walking on the edge of rage and understanding Between the black and the white This child is so angry Alone here tonight Alarming desperation Leads me to believe With all my shields and protection It's only me I deceive (CHORUS) The eyes on a magazine The voice on the radio The kiss on the movie screen This is the story I know Fathers hold on and they never go Mothers hold on and they never go Lovers hold on and they never go Lovers they come and they never go (CHORUS) @SONG: Place Your Hand I've an image in my pocket Of some dark demon That temptation brought to life And it chokes all of my breath out I'm scratching and screaming Till morning comes to night CHORUS: Place your hand My body will decide Place your hand My anger will subside There are fragments of possessions Shards of past relations Splintering my skin A fear so black and hollow It can suffocate creation And refuse to let you in (CHORUS) And they speak to me like prophets in my dreams Speak to me like prophets in my dreams Shouting like prophets in my dreams Sometimes I think it's easy Too easy for the living To receive the promised land Can flesh provide the answer The reason for sensation Justify your hand (CHORUS) @SONG: Must Be Crazy For Me You tell me not to call you up Cause it ties you down Don't tell your friends You've been hangin' round You must be crazy for me You say you'll see me once or twice Every week or two There's more important things That you've got to do You must be crazy for me CHORUS: Cause when I kissed you last night In my own backyard You ran so fast And you fought so hard You must be crazy for me You must be crazy for me You don't like my hair You don't like my car You don't like my friends You met at the bar You must be crazy for me I see you shake your head And you roll your eyes Your firm remark To remove my thigh You must be crazy for me (CHORUS) Do not expect you to wait Do not expect you to phone Do not expect anything When I catch you alone You must be crazy for me (CHORUS) @SONG: Meet Me In The Back CHORUS: Meet me in the back Don't make me wait too long I could change my mind And tell you that it's wrong So meet me in the back Where the light don't shine First show me yours Maybe I'll show you mine My hands are shaking My heart is beating fast Is love worth making When it can never last (CHORUS) I'm gonna give directions I'm gonna take it slow But if I don't get protection I will just say no (CHORUS) I can hear the music Pounding through the walls And to the beat of dancing I will give you all (CHORUS) @SONG: The Boy Feels Strange And he looks at me in wonder And he looks at me in fear Wrestling with his anger His pride and stony tears To place me in his life Will be hard and slow Does he want it need it I might never know The boy feels strange Oh the boy has changed Looking from my tower I can see his fortress strong Surrounded by his army Where do I belong Does he ever find the answers In the cars as they go by Does he ever want to ask me why The boy feels strange Oh the boy has changed And he's seen with all the women Who think that he's a god And he blesses whom he pleases Holding fast to the facade I want to reach out and believe him Through his miles and miles of pain But lately when I touch him The boy feels strange And he speaks to me of business When I ask him how he's been Keeps me at a distance Never getting under skin Can he make a new beginning Does he even want to try Or will he only let it die The boy feels strange Oh the boy feels strange @SONG: Keep It Precious You brought me to trust you brought me to tears In one tender touch the pain disappears I have been to the sword seen it come seen it die As we enter the dark I bessech you to try In prophecy all good things must end So take care my love my friend Keep it precious Keep it precious This yielding is fine this promise rare One day at a time we've agreed to dare Holding you tight with wide open arms I'm letting you go no stranger to harm Go on ride your way do not break or bend Just take care my love my friend Keep it precious Keep it precious And the wonder let the wonder never cease And the madness of the pleasure and ecstasy Danger believing me Wounding and healing me please Keep it precious I believe in your eyes I believe in your fate I believe we can fly on the wings we create A voice from behind calls up anger and fear We can silence that scream it's simple and clear Nothing must die only if failed to mend So take care my love my friend Keep it precious @SONG: The Letting Go I came here to let you know The letting go Has taken place I have held the winter's son Become one Set my pace Isn't that what we wanted all along Freedom like a stone Maybe we were wrong But I can say goodbye Now that the passion's died Still it comes so slow The letting go Piece by piece I take apart This complicated heart And I hope to find Something I can prove is real I can feel is truth I can say is mine That's all I even wanted to be The closer I got The further I could see But when lovers change And the night feels strange We choose our road The letting go I came here to let you know The letting go Has taken place @SONG: It's For You Hey you watching as this light bleeds all over me Shadows rise and fall listen as I call is this reality I will be with you tonight and tomorrow be 1,000 miles away I will be with you tonight I will be with you as long as you stay One little piece of my soul One little piece of my whole life I give to you Take it now CHORUS: I'm with you I'm not with my lover It's not for another broken heart It's for you Not just for some shattered dream I once knew It's for you It's for you Hey you looking through a mirror to a cage I'll take you away this miracle you pray for on the stage I will be with you tonight I will be with you 1,000 miles away I will never leave Inside of you a piece of me will stay One little piece of my soul One little piece of my whole life I give to you Take it now (CHORUS) Come closer now (CHORUS)
