I did this in early 2005, and randomization is still fun, so I'm doing it again. The deal is that I put my iTunes on shuffle and type up the first verse from whatever songs come up. Not sure I'll bother doing 25 songs as before, but here's some: (If you know the songs by their lyrics, write a comment and win praise?) 1. The circus is falling down on its knees And the bigtop is crumbling down It's raining here in Baltimore, 50 miles east Where you should be, no one's around I need a phone call I need a plane ride I need a sunburn I need a phone call 2. Are you surprised it's me? Hope I didn't wake anybody Honey, please, wait up for me I miss you more than I need sleep 3. I believed that someone'd take care of me tonight As I walk into Dorian's, can you see it in my eyes? My boots are on the mend, I lay walking home Street tar in summer'll do a job on your soul 4. The Spanish girl pointed at me and said, "silencio" Making a little gesture as if switching off a radio Sliding her fingers 'cross her lips as if shutting a zipper And I clearly got the message; I didn't need to ask her
5. It's cold, a plain diamond nobody's here, just empty space It's all moving, breathing stuck to the ceiling, don't mean a thing and what we had don't mean a thing and what we had is already gone 6. You said move along, but it's hard to move along When something's not right with my air You said get along, but it's hard to get along With what's going on over there 7. We went down to the May parade Mumbled words under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do I've been dying to tell you I've been so damn tired 8. I can name the people that know they don't know themselves Without talking to nobody I can count the people that know they want to fix themselves Without taking my hands out of my pockets I make these promises but all my promises hurt Except they never get a liftoff So if I'm being honest with you and it seems like I'm being cruel At least you didn't get a rip off 9. Hey, little birdie, catching my eye Sing little sweet things into this mind And tug at my darker side
Fly to the bed where we are confined Combing the cancers out of our lives And harness your song with mine And whose tongue gave you life but mine 10. Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon Let her pale light in to fill up your room You've been living underground Eating from a can You've been running away From what you don't understand... Love
She's slippy You're sliding down She'll be there when you hit the ground |
