I
want someone to talk to
When the Red Sox lose
Instead of you workin' all nite
And me alone with my blues Give
me someone to talk to
To keep our hope alive
Someone who lets me run at the mouth
Till I'm satisfied
I
want someone to talk to
Give me someone to walk thru
Every turn, every up at bat
On this long, lonely road we're travelin' on
Travelin'
on... travelin' on... travelin' on
Hey,
you'll want someone to talk to
When we finally win it all
And all the years of bad luck
We wash 'em clean one fine fall
So
come on baby let's walk thru
A monster turnaround
When chumps change to champions
With a walkoff homerun

Fall on me Hide
me from the face of him
who renders justice for our evil deeds

Plagues rain down
Plagues rain down
All around
Woe
to all upon the earth
Your troubles now are teardrops to the ground
See
the children
See the children
Of the world
Rainbow boy
Rainbow girl
You
won't hunger, thirst, or fear your lives
When Fairness washes all tears from your eyes

— and I jump
You say up — I jump up

I die
A little deathYou say run — and I run
You say come baby — I come, come, come

A little death Don't
you love me baby
Let it show
Don't go actin' nonchalant
It chills me to the bone
Everyday
I'm givin' what I got
Everyday
I'm livin' for your love
Everyday
A little death
Everyday
We're alive
A little death

Callin' to Jesus
Hung on her wall
Momma keeps cryin'
"Where has my baby gone?"
Alone in his own bedroom
Daddy's asleep
Now I hear him yellin'
"Wake me! Wake me! Please!" You
can wail
Yourself free
Squeaky wheel
Gets the grease
In this vale
Of misery
You can wail
Yourself free
Rock-a-bye
baby
On the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When
the bow breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all
Life
goes by like lightnin'
Flash! — Flash! — Boom! — and you're gone
Well, don't fade away
No, No, don't fade away

Don’t
Jive Me
| Mike
Hallal (1993): guitar, vocal |
My brother saw
you
In Bobby's car
Tell me what's goin' on
He said he saw you makin' it with him
Stop your cryin'
Tell me the truth
You know I can't believe the things you do Let's
get it straight right now
Sing when you talk
Run when you walk
Don't jive me
Don't jive me
Say
what you mean
Be what you seem
Don't jive me
Don't jive me
You're my wife
We've
got two kids
You
know I can't take any more of this
How
many chances
How many men
How many times can we start over again
You
gotta change from here on
Don't
be lyin' to me
And
don't be makin' promises you won't keep
Too many lies —
That's what really kills me

Melody
| Hallal & Vargas (1992) |
| Mike
Hallal: guitar, vocal |
| David
Vargas: keys |
Down in the
valley
The valley so low
Hang your head over
Everyone goes
Everyone cries out
For love in their way
And in every life
Sunshine and rain Down
from the heavens
Up from the ground
All thru your body
Echoes a sound
Rising
and falling
With pleasure and pain
The song has just ended [Both ears could fail you]
And you start it again [And you'd hear it just the same]
Crystal clear melody [Life-giving melody]
All in your head —
Never wish you were dead
And
when nine voices war inside your brain
One line of music keeps you sane
