Whoa, Nelly! 
Hey, Man
Hey, man, don't look so scared
You know I'm only testing you out.
Hey man, don't look so angry,
you're real close to figuring me out.

We are a part of a circle.
It's like a mobius strip,
and it goes round and round until it loses a link.
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again.

Hey, man, we look at each other with ample eyes,
so why not some time to discover what's behind your eyes?
I've got so many questions that I want to ask you.
I am so tired of mirors- pour me a glass of your wine!

And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again!
I've got a bunch of government cheques at my door.
Each morning I try to send them back but they only send me more.
I look at myself in the mirror; am I vital today?
Hey, man, I let my conscience get in the way!

And there's a shadow in the sky , and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again,
and I don't mean to rain on your parade,
but pathos has got me once again...
and I don't want ambivalence no more,
I don't want ambivalence no more,
I don't want ambivalence no more,
no I don't want ambivalence no more!

Hey, man, don't look so scared
You know I'm only testing you out.
Hey man, don't look so angry,
you're real close to figuring me out.

We are a part of a circle.
It's like a mobius strip,
and it goes round and round until it loses a link.
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,

On The Radio (Remember The Days) :

You liked me till’ you heard my shit on the radio
Well I hate to say but pop aint’ going solo
You liked me till’ you heard my shit on the radio
But now I’m just too mainstream for you, oh no
You liked me till’ you seen me on your t.v.
Well if you’re so low below then why you watching
You say good things come to those who wait
Well I’ve been waiting a long time for it

Chorus:
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I’ve flown away I see you’ve chosen to stay behind me
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself

You say your quest is to bring it higher
Well I never seen change without a fire
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
But underneath I think it’s a lot of yearning
Your face, the colours change from green to yellow
To the point where you can’t even say hello
You tell me you’d kill me if I ever snob you out
Like that’s what you’d expect from me, like that’s what I’m about

Chorus

Bridge:
It’s so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you’re cool
Than to sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
Than to burn in the spotlight, turn in the spitfire
Scream without making a sound, be up here and not look down
because we’re all afraid of heights

Chorus

Why ya hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me so so,
leave me down down down down low leave me down da down down da down da down down down...shit on the radio... shit on the radio... shit on the radio... shit on the radio


You liked me till’ you heard my shit on the radio
Well I hate to say but pop aint’ going solo
You liked me till’ you heard my shit on the radio
But now I’m just too mainstream for you, oh no
You liked me till’ you seen me on your t.v.
Well if you’re so low below then why you watching
You say good things come to those who wait
Well I’ve been waiting a long time for it

Chorus:
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I’ve flown away I see you’ve chosen to stay behind me

g that revolves around him
But while on top of him I know what’s best for him
I’ll show him how to win and let me in cuz

Chorus:
I don’t wanna be your baby girl
I don’t wanna be your little pearl
I just wanna be what’s best for me
To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun

We’re all sorry now, I didn’t mean to wow
Make you cry like that, it’s just a little spat
Still I want you to know, though I love you so
It’s mostly me dreaming, forcing, believing
That you’re an ideal, hell I never steal
But I stole you from, from another one
So take yourself and wrap around my little finger
Cuz that’s how it should swing

Chorus

Why can’t he see, why can’t he see what’s inside of me, yeah... don’t you, don’t you call me coochie-coo a little girl, now... don’t you gaga goo no coochie-coo girl now I’m so much more, can’t you see? Can’t you see?
Look who’s writing now a token of their love
Can’t you see love that it’s just because
I wanted a cheap way to get inside your head
And not a cheap way to get inside your bed
Oh you’re running now, with that silly one
It’s all over now, this woman’s just begun
Maybe we’ll see about the will and the way
Butterflies return some day

Chorus

I’ve seen a man cry, I’ve seen a man die inside
I’ve seen him say to me that he is only mine
That he gotta do what is best for him
Never let me in, not even begin
To tell me I’m the one under his moon and sun
That I am the thing that revolves around him
But while on top of him I know what’s best for him
I’ll show him how to win and let me in cuz

Chorus:
I don’t wanna be your baby girl
I don’t wanna be your little pearl
I just wanna be what’s best for me
To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun

We’re all sorry now, I didn’t mean to wow
Make you cry like that, it’s just a little spat
Still I want you to know, though I love you so
It’s mostly me dreaming, forcing, believing
That you’re an ideal, hell I never steal
But I stole you from, from another one
So take yourself and wrap around my little finger

Chorus

Why can’t he see, why can’t he see what’s inside of me, yeah... don’t you, don’t you call me coochie-coo a little girl, now... don’t you gaga goo no coochie-coo girl now I’m so much more, can’t you see? Can’t you see?
Look who’s writing now a token of their love
Can’t you see love that it’s just because
I wanted a cheap way to get inside your head
And not a cheap way to get inside your bed
Oh you’re running now, with that silly one

Legend
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun

Chorus:
And like a legend that rises and then falls I cannot be his only one

He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to,
(whoa) like you used to
He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to,
(whoa) like you used to

Chorus:
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight

Babe I saw you walking, it was after midnight
Carrying nothing except for a flashlight
You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window
You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry
For I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so
I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so

Bridge:
I know you want to drink from the purest wine
But the drink is far more sour then you would ever think
He wants to be, he wants to be with everything under the sun
And she wants to burn, she wants to burn hot like that sun,
(whoa) hot like that sun

Chorus
Just like a legend that rises and then falls I cannot be his only one
And like a callous, cold, callous woman she’ll never know what she did done

So like this legend that rises and then falls I’ll never be his only one


He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun

Chorus:
And like a legend that rises and then falls I cannot be his only one

He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to,
(whoa) like you used to
He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to,
(whoa) like you used to

Chorus:
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight

Babe I saw you walking, it was after midnight
Carrying nothing except for a flashlight
You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window
You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry
For I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so
I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so

Bridge:
I know you want to drink from the purest wine
But the drink is far more sour then you would ever think
He wants to be, he wants to be with everything under the sun
And she wants to burn, she wants to burn hot like that sun,
(whoa) hot like that sun

Chorus
Just like a legend that rises and then falls I cannot be his only one
And like a callous, cold, callous woman she’ll never know what she did done

So like this legend that rises and then falls I’ll never be his only one

I'm Like A Bird
You’re beautiful, that’s for sure
You’ll never ever fade
You’re lovely but it’s not for sure
That I won’t ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

Chorus:
I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away
I don’t know where my soul is,
I don’t know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away
I don’t know where my soul is ,
I don’t know where my home is
All I need for you to know is

Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don’t know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

Chorus

It’s not that I wanna say goodbye
It’s just that every time you try to tell me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I’m going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I’m just scared
That we may fall through

Chorus x 3

Turn Off The Light

It's getting so lonely inside this bed
Don't know if I should lick my wounds or say woe is me instead
And there's an aching inside my head
It's telling me I'm better off alone
But after midnight morning will come
And the day will see if you will get some

[Chorus:]
They say that girl ya know she act too tough tough tough
Well it's till' I turn off the light, turn off the light
They say that girl you know she act so rough rough rough
Well it's till' I turn off the light, turn off the light
And I say follow me follow me follow me down down down down
till' you see all my dreams
Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems

I looked above the other day
Cuz I think I'm good and ready for a change
I live my life by the moon
If it's high play it low, if it's harvest go slow and if it's full, then go
But after midnight morning will come
And the day will see if you're gonna get some

[Chorus]

I'm searching for things that I just cannot see
Why don't you don't you don't you come and be with me
I pretend to be cool with me, want to believe
That I can do it on my own without my heart on my sleeve
I'm running, I'm running, catch up with me life
Where is the love that I'm looking to find
It's all in me, can't you see, why can't you, why can't you see it's all in me

[Chorus]

Where is your logic
Who do you need
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need
Follow me down, follow me down down down,
I do not need I do not need nobody
Where is your logic
Who do you need
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need

Trynna Finda Way :

I left my heart in San Francisco with some club kids on a crowded street
somewhere
The sky was red and he said,
"would you like to come be a part of my North American Dream?"
I could try to chase life down, down the street and I'd find the separation
of fact and fiction

Chorus:
I'm tryin' a find a way
I'm tryin' a find a right
And if I budge I just might
I'm tryin' a find a way
I'm tryin' a find a right
And if I budge I just might

I left my conscience somewhere with my rythym
I heard about it from the mouth of a man
He was hopping some trains and combing the land
Looking for a lover (kiss) planted in the east
Trying to run from the dreaded fist beast
And it lies, it lies in the picket fence call
It was my own paradise with my own private corridor

Chorus

So I'm dancing to a new beat and it came to me in bed
My veins became a strain of light that I let to flow instead
And a wish came to me like Peter Pan at my window and said
Evolve your destiny child and you'll never walk alone-no
You'll never walk alone, but
Travel to the land of surrender till' you can't cry no more
Till you can't, till you can't
And you'll never walk alone

Bridge:
You'll nev, you'll nev, you'll never walk alone, you'll nev,
you'll nev, you'll never walk alone..
... never walk, never walk alone alone alone-yeah/ all this inspiration is
passing me by/all I can do is chill when I really wanna fly/and this
pollution do nothing but dirty up my mind/faster than forever in the blink
of an eye/to see past my lethargy is hard I feign/the beauty of my youth is
gone but the chemicals remain

Chorus

I travel to this land of surrender but I see it's all over me, over and over
again...and I try and I try and I try...an angel on my left side and a devil
on my right..and they fight and they fight and they fight..they're fighting,
they're fighting, they're fighting for my attention...hello? You have my
attention...Do I have your attention...Can I have your attention
please?...please, you've made such such an impression on me

Party :

I’m talking to the mirror again but it’s not listening
I’m cleaning my dirty mind like a toilet but it won’t give in
I’m drinking spirits in the hopes that I will find myself one
But all I can rectify is that the party’s just begun

Chorus:
Party’s just begun
Party’s just begun
Party’s just begun
Party’s just begun

I feel like falling asleep and never waking up
It’s not that my glass is empty but I need another cup
When all of the doors around me just shut one by one
I feel like falling asleep but the party’s just begun

Chorus

Shaky shaky steps in the middle of the day
A fire in my path and a cool decay
Of limbs and tooth under my skin
Oh, freedom, where do I begin
I’m changing my inflection and how I say the words
Maybe it will sound like something they’ve never heard
Oh, death of the party
I picked up the chalice of malice
And drank till I was full, I drank till I was full
I was thirsty but I drank till I was full,
I drank till I, till I,till I was full

There’s a fever in my bones that I know so well
I keep my head low low low to avoid the swell
But it’ll be cold in hell, it’ll be cold in hell
Before they put me in that chamber
So I’m cleaning up as fast as I can
I’m cleaning up as fast as I can
Cuz you can’t unbreak what you break, you can’t unfake the very fake
You cannot fuel without a tank,
no you can’t unbreak what you break, what you break

Chorus x 2

 Well, Well :

Well, well, what do I say
Looks like what goes around comes around
And everyone will have their final say
Sometime, someday
Looks like I only love God when the sun shines my way
Looks like I'm into divinity only when I can see its sweet, sweet rays

Chorus:
I say what I mean but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
I say what I mean but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out

Well, well, what do I say
I've never seen a bad day look quite this way
And well, well, what do I do
When all of my thoughts run right back to you
Looks like I meant to speak with logic,
but hon', the carnal always gets in the way
Well well, this fire was more funner than proper grammar anyway

Chorus

Then you get to the part where your heart just wants to die
Then you get to the part where your heart screams it just sighs
Then you get to the part where your heart knows it's a crime
So it flies like a bird, it's heard, it's heard, it's heard the word

Chorus

Today, today, today, today
Well, well, it's fine out


Well, well, what do I say
Looks like what goes around comes around
And everyone will have their final say
Sometime, someday
Looks like I only love God when the sun shines my way

Today, today, today, today
Well, well, it's fine out

My Love Grows Deeper Part 1 :

Chorus:
My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day, deep into the sea
But takes a little piece of me, a little piece of me

Oh it’s so beautiful out and I can’t see why we’re not allowed to be
Up in the sky with the birds counting the flowers
Oh my powers have failed me again when I can’t see beginning to end
And I try to test it again through the hours
I get so stuck on leaving but I guess I think I’ll stay
I’ll be hanging around here anyway
I get so stuck on leaving, hell I think I’ll go
Cuz they don’t want me around here, no, no

Chorus

Oh why can’t I be green as the grass beneath my feet
As fresh as the dew hits the ground in the morning
And not yellow like bumble bees, please take me off my knees
Cuz I don’t wanna be red forever
I get so stuck on leaving but I guess I think I’ll stay
I’ll be hanging around here anyway
I get so stuck on leaving so hell I think I’ll go
Cuz they don’t want me around here, no no

Bridge:
Traveling far, all up in the blue, traveling far,
could not be born because of you
Traveling far, up in the blue, could not be born because of you,
because of you you you you you you you
I get so stuck on leaving, I guess I think I’ll stay
I’ll be hanging around here anyway
I get so stuck on leaving, hell I think I’ll go
You don’t want me around here no more

I get so stuck on leaving, I get so stuck on leaving
I get so stuck on leaving, stuck on leaving
Stuck on leaving, I gotta go
You cut my wings long time ago
You cut my wings long time ago

Chorus

 I Will Make U Cry :

Chuva! Chuvinhao! Venho, venho, venho ca, rapaz!
Chuva! Chuvinhao! Venho, venho ca, rapaz!
This is not political it's just that I demand attention when I walk into a
room
And it's not that I can't play ball hard it's just that I don't want to
And the more I think about this pressure love I don't want you
And I can't have you and that's what hurts the most
I cannot show you these things I boast
I'll throw my heart out, keep my head up, I cannot fuck up cuz
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only bring on the rain
So I'll prefer to run this road rough around the edges Good for something but too good to give it to you You run your own course at your own pace but I just got impatient See, I wanted to explore Forsake you, forsook you, abate you, dissipate you So turn fate around, I believed that I was free of you (not)
I still believe in those days on benches at sunset or the waves in July-or
was it March
We weathered weathers and storms real and imagined, such fragile tenderness
You are truly blessed
I stress this as I blow you this kiss as I blow it in the wind, mmwa
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only bring on the rain
Chuva! Chuvinhao! Venho, venho ca, rapaz!
Gonna make u cry so damn hard you're gonna curse your drawers and wish you
weren't a boy
Gonna make u cry so damn hard you'll curse your drawers and wish you weren't
a boy, yeah
I will make u cry
I will make u cry
(Boohoo)

They say time is made of memories
Well I remembered and I'm tired
This is not political
It's just that I remember the fire
Babe you left me with my head held high and I feigned to be more than I was,
didn't I
I thought I could do without sugar love but this chocolate has turned into
sweet bubble gum
Candy is sweet but honey is sweeter
It tastes like the real thing but candy is much much cheaper (Cheaper)
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only cause you pain, yeah (I promise that)
I got what you need boy (baby I do) but I will only bring on the rain
(rain a'fallin' down, rain a'fallin' down, hahahaha)
(rain a'fallin' down, rain a'fallin' down, hahahaha)
(rain a'fallin' down, rain a'fallin' down, hahahaha)
...time crying...you'll be crying... I'm sorry I made you cry... I didn't
mean to, let me wipe those tears away...wipe those tears away...don't cry
baby...it's only rain


Chuva! Chuvinhao! Venho, venho, venho ca, rapaz!
Chuva! Chuvinhao! Venho, venho ca, rapaz!
This is not political it's just that I demand attention when I walk into a
room
And it's not that I can't play ball hard it's just that I don't want to
And the more I think about this pressure love I don't want you
And I can't have you and that's what hurts the most

 Scared Of You :

I’m sorry I forsake you
I’m sorry that I left you
I’m sorry I did forget you
And I’m sorry that I made myself feel better
By making you feel never good enough
I know you’ll shine much brighter than I ever could
Maybe that is why I was

Chorus:
Scared of you (and in everything I do I’m still thinking of you) oh, you
And I know you were scared of me (but everytime I tried to love you I just
fell through) too

Desculpa-me se te-ofendi
Desculpa-me se te-esqueci
Desculpa me se-eu te-deixei
Eu te-deixei
E desculpa-me por mi sintir bem com tua dor
Sabes que te-adore mais sei que tu estrela a maior do que minha,
do que minha
E por isso

Chorus:
Eu tenho medo deste amor (os dias passo pensando en ti) amor
Medo deste amor (Salve-me porque agora estou caindo) amor

Scared of you I was
Scared of you I was
Scared of you
Scared of you
Scared of you


I’m sorry I forsake you
I’m sorry that I left you
I’m sorry I did forget you
And I’m sorry that I made myself feel better
By making you feel never good enough
I know you’ll shine much brighter than I ever could
Maybe that is why I was

Chorus:
Scared of you (and in everything I do I’m still thinking of you) oh, you
And I know you were scared of me (but everytime I tried to love you I just
fell through) too

Desculpa-me se te-ofendi
Desculpa-me se te-esqueci
Desculpa me se-eu te-deixei
Eu te-deixei
E desculpa-me por mi sintir bem com tua dor
Sabes que te-adore mais sei que tu estrela a maior do que minha,

Folklore
Powerless (Say What You Want) [Folklore]

Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
And say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
So say what you want
Say what you want

I saw her face outside today
Weatherworn, looking all the rage
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
Now it’s moccasins we sport
We take the culture and contort
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
But say what you want
Say what you want

Hey you, the one, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in
Hey you, the one that don’t fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your
Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo
Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
Say what you want, say what you want, say, say, say

Cuz this life is too short,
just for you

Explode

Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun
With a ligther and some hairspray
Smoking in the girls' room
Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's
By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody
Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some

Now we look back and see that she didn't know how
We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste

As we explode
As we explode

Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart
Rolling around in them to see if you would get prickled
Slip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkade
We couldn't get enough

Then count the stars and the ten million woes
Just you and the universe judging each other
We never knew that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste

As we explode
As we explode
As we explode
As we let go

It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong
Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar
More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell
At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break
Such a good, good story to tell

You bully, you break, you bully, you break
You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake
You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it and you're in it and it's spinning

And it's wild
We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste

As we explode
As we explode
As we explode
As we let go

We're counting the stars
We're counting the stars
We're gonna go far, we're gonna go far
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
We're not very far, we're not very far

And it's you and me in the open air
It's truth or dare, we don't care
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars

All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
but the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow

Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try

I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me

Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Try

All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

Fresh Off The Boat

I'm fresh off the boat
fresh off the boat
fresh off the boat
fresh off the boat

I rock these bare feet like no one else can
My hands are dirty I like 'em that way
Shows Who I am

I'm fresh off the boat
Fresh off the boat [x7]

The wine tastes good on my sweet lips like sunshine
The plastic on the furniture suits me just fine

I'm fresh off the boat,
Fresh off the boat [x7]

Querida menina a beira do mar
Querida menina a beira do mar
Apanha um barco branco e vai vai vai
Apanha um barco branco e sai sai sai
Aquela menina a beira do mar
Aquela menina a beira do mar
Aquela menina a beira do mar
Querida menina e vai vai vai

Fresh off the boat [x16]

Querida menina a beira do mar
Querida menina a beira do mar
Querida menina a beira do mar
Querida menina a beira do mar
Aquela menina a beira do mar
Querida menina a beira do mar
Querida menina a beira do mar
Beira do mar mar yeah!

Forca

It is the passion flowing right on through your veins
And it's the feeling that you're oh so glad you came
It is the moment you remember you're alive
It is the air you breathe, the element, the fire
It is that flower that you took the time to smell
It is the power that you know you got as well
It is the fear inside that you can overcome
This is the orchestra, the rhythm and the drum

Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma força que ninguem pode parar
Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar

It is the soundtrack of your ever-flowing life
It is the wind beneath your feet that makes you fly
It is the beautiful game that you choose to play
When you step out into the world to start your day
You show your face and take it in and scream and pray
You're gonna win it for yourself and us today
It is the gold, the green, the yellow and the grey
The red and sweat and tears, the love you go. Hey!

Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma força que ninguem pode parar
Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar

força, força, força, força, força

Closer to the sky, closer, way up high, mais perto do ceu, mais perto do ceu

Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma força que ninguem pode parar
Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar

força (oh), força (oh), força, força, força

come on

The Grass Is Green

Oh, i once had something
Something that was so good
Better than the last thing i touched
Then I turned right around on that something
And figured i didn't like that much

Oh yeah, the grass is green
But can you tell me, can you feel it, i just wanna feel it
Oh yeah, the grass is green
But i think i stained my jeans and now everybody knows thah i been in it

I am a believer
But as i was standing
In line, somebody took my place
Yes, i'm a believer, never mind what they say
I got so tired along the way

Oh yeah, the grass is green
But can you tell me, can you feel it, i just wanna feel it
Oh yeah, the grass is green
But i think i stained my jeans and now everybody knows that i been in it

I've got a skeleton that's deeper than any closet
And a bomb that i will drop on it
But you opened up to me
'Til i could only see the beauty in your dishonesty

Oh yeah, the grass is green
But can you tell me, can you feel it, you just wanna feel it
Oh yeah the grass is green
But it think i stained my jeans and now, baby, you can tell that i been in it

Oh yeah, the grass is green but it's not what it seems cause when you think
You want it you just need it
Forget just what you need
The clock is ticking and this life is a train, man, i think you're on it
But it's what you wanted, and what you needed
It's what you wanted, and what you needed
Or is it what i needed and what you wanted

Picture Perfect [Folklore]

Picture perfect a life that you saw in a magazine
Or maybe a travelling book
Wanted to get on that plane and fly away
cause you are a rock star deep down inside
You walk with a swagger, got nothin' to hide
Cigarette in your mouth, a cuff on your jeans
Your sideburns are perfect, you're a perfect and lean
So you made an oil painting to inmortalize
All of the hope and vision in your eyes
In your leisure coat and cowboy hat
North American records and so much to bat for

Please bring me along
Please bring me along
Because I want to see everything you have to offer me

Get a job lifting cement
Oh it's so dry when it rains it gets wet
And the village was great, now it's a suburb
You left behind half of all that you had learnt
Relearn a couple things along the way
The thrift shop so clean all for half what you'd pay
So you try everything on, on for size
Drop top your Camaro and go for a ride

Please bring me along
Please bring me along
Because I want to see everything you have to offer me

And I don't mind to sit here and waste my time
Oh but this world is not mine to define
And I want to shine

Please bring me along
Please take me away
I don't want to stay

And I want to see everything you have to offer me
And I want to see everything you have to offer me
And I want to see everything you have to offer me

I want to see everything the world has to offer me
I want to see everything the world has to offer me
I want to show everything I have to offer it
I want to show everything I have to offer it now

Build You Up lyrics [Folklore]

Baby don't believe it
Oh, it's in your eyes
I can see the weakness
You don't have to hide
I can take you under
Under my wing
cause your voice gives me a song
That i love to sing

Baby, they build you up
Only to tear you down
Don't give up
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it

Baby they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing

You were just a child
Ready to explore
And everything you saw
Looked like an open door

A place you can remember
You'd love to go back
But you can't even comprehend
That it's all in the past

Baby they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing

Baby they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing

Put your heart in my hands and i won't hurt you
Put your heart in my hands
I promise not to

I'll lift you up, you'll fly away, I'll lift you up, lift you up
I'll never build you up, only to tear you down
Baby just believe it, baby just believe it, it's good for something
I'll never build you up, only to tear you down, oh it's good for nothing
And i love you the way you are

Childhood Dreams [Folklore]

I can't believe you need me
I never thought would be needed for anything
I can't believe my shoulder would carry such important weight
As your head and your tears
I can't believe you chose me, in all my fragility, me
It hurts so much when I love you, it makes me cry
Every time

You, you are, oh you are
The little boy made for me in the stars
In the star, that's why I can't let you go
The little boy made for me in the stars
That's why I love you more the further I go
And before this existence you were always there
Waiting for me
You are, you are the realest thing I know
Hands down
The realest thing I know

I am not used to being carried
Or being able to carry a pretty song
I have been bruised by my many trails
Sometimes my skin's so thick it's frail
I just need to be ignored 'til I wake up to the beauty that is yours
And it all comes to life so suddenly
This is a place so deep, the water's so deep I hesitate, cause

All the energy it takes to feel this power
I tend to run, I tend to hide, I tend to scream 'til I find you and I know I
got you
I know, I know, I know

You're the little boy made for me in the stars
In the stars, that's why I can't let you go
The little boy made for me in the stars
That's why I love you more the further I go
And before this existence you were always here
Inside of me
You are, you are the realest thing I know
Hands down...the realest thing I know

I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams
I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams

When you carry me, when you carry me, when you carry me
It's so happy

I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams
I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams
