A
Reason to be Proud
Hello my friends! I'd like to begin
to introduce these sounds.
In modern times, it's hard to pretend that nothin' gets you down.
Between "the saddest songs" and "darkest of days",
when bells don't dare to make a sound,
and you've found yourself inside an endless malaise, there's still a reason
to be proud!
Send out the word that goodness has come to liberate the sad!
A nd take your fist and raise it above, and things won't be so bad.
Between
"the saddest songs" and "darkest of days", when bells
don't dare to make a sound,
and you've found yourself inside an endless malaise, there's still a reason
to be proud!
Ten Thousand Orchestras
It
looks as though I have lost my charm. How much was there to lose?
W hen sexy looks only go so far, not if I were to choose.
Ten thousand orchestras playin' loud!
Ten thousand's not enough to make a sound
that a girl can hear through her velvet ears.
It'd be nice to go to heaven, but first I'd like some songs.
It seems as though we have lost our way. Was there even a map?
A nd there are words that I ought to say, but this seems like a trap.
Ten thousand orchestras playin' loud!
Ten thousand's not enough to make a sound
that a girl can hear through her velvet ears.
It'd be nice to go to heaven, but first I'd like some songs.
Wonderful
W onderful doesn't mean the things people say it means all the time.
But if I tried to invent a word no one's ever heard, it'd be a crime.
Oh! the world has heard enough words that try to describe love.
And they all sound so nice in books and songs.
B ut one thing's wrong, you know.
Metaphors and used up similes come with too much ease, don't you think?
And some might say that I try too hard, but sometimes tryin' hard is everything.
Oh! the world has heard enough words that try to describe love.
And they all sound so nice in books and songs.
But one thing's wrong, you know.
We've all been waiting so patiently too have some sunlight and some harmony.
Oh hallelujah! How heavenly! These bells are ringin' so triumphantly.
Santa Rosa
I could talk to Mary about the shape we're in,
but what could Mary offer to help this sinful man?
When every day has passed by, along with fame and wealth,
and every day i wake up concerned about my health.
We've been had for the very last time!
And I swear they won't take us alive.
While the sun and the moon and stars and Santa Rosa
Clear our way to better days, we'll try.
I could talk to Peter about a miracle,
but why would peter listen? I'm sure his day is full.
Of building epic structures that rock us through the night.
That man is much too busy to help us get it right.
We've been had for the very last time!
And I swear they won't take us alive.
While the sun and the moon and stars and Santa Rosa
Clear our way to better days, we'll try.
