Chromosomes
Everybody gotta grab a partner
Everybody gotta stand alone
Everybody gotta have some heartache
Everybody got chromosomes
Before
this day is thru
I'm gonna tell you I love you
Before my life is thru
I'm gonna show you I love you
Na-na-na
Na-na-na Na-na-Nah
Na-na-Nah na-na-Nah Nah-Nah-Nah
Mary
headed down to Harvard Square
Heard they had a lotta good genes there
Fell in love with a punk in the pit yeah
Turned around and brought him home yeah
Before
this night is thru
I'm gonna tell you I love you
Before my life is thru
I'm gonna show you I love you
We've
got some crazy hearts
Drive us to drink
Drive us to worry
Why should we
Everybody
got chromosomes
Everybody got flesh and bone
Everybody's got to do-si-do
Everybody's got everyone
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
Could
I have your attention
My girl has lost her way
Her family relations
They're goin' down the drain
It's
brother on brother
Elder on child
Lover on lover
Before we all go wild...
Get
up on your feet
Get up on the beat
Get outta the heat
Don't give up
Got to get up & go
Before your get up is gone
And
if I have your attention
One more couple of things
All my negative thinkin'
I think it really stinks
I'm
down in the city
I'm down on the farm
I'm down at the White House
I'm down on your front lawn
You
ain't been straight
Since the first day I met you
You steal and shake
Think no one sees thru you
Now
I wouldn't mind
You romancin' the road
Cuz I ain't got time
For your kinda bull
I
took you in
You had nothin', no one
I watched you sin
Said nothin' to no one
Now
I really don't mind
You romancin' your bone
But I ain't got time
For your kinda bull
Nobody
knows you
What goes on inside your head
How can I care any more
Here's
one thing I know
You don't treat friends like that
How can you live with yourself
New,
used or fake
You need somethin' from someone
Your day awaits
What goes 'round, comes 'round
A
redwood lives 2,000 years
Why can't I
Turtles swim the ocean blue for centuries
Why can't I
You
got easy reasons
We have so few seasons to abide
Guess I'll keep on prayin'
Playin' the music inside
So
when you wake up in the mornin'
Please tell me what I am longin' to hear
For I just might break
Down and die
Somethin's
wrong, deep in the genes
You can't deny
All our love and wisdom keeps nobody safe
Why oh why
You
take odds or evens
No amount of schemin' buys us time
Some days I'm cryin' [nights I'm flyin']
Tryin' to make the most of my lines [Dyin' to make the most of my
life]
The
way
You struggle to your feet
When there's no one there to greet
That you wouldn't like to meet
Some
way
You stumble down the hall
When every object great and small
Can trip you up and make you fall
Away
Like your father's house of cards
Yet still you get up [pick up]
Could be the knight of your dreams
Take
me to your heart
I'll give you every drop of me
There's nowhere I would rather be
All is vanity
You
know it's just a start
When everything turns dark and greedy
The light is always there to see
Come and bear with me
Today
You might find your King of Hearts
A little worse off than you thought
In a place that you forgot
One
day
When you couldn't stand the pain
Locked your doors, quit the game
Hid your face and wished your shame
Away
It's
a dirty trick from up above
A dirty trick indeed
A dirty trick by powers that be
To make you feel so free
And
it's a dirty trick from right within
A dirty trick my friend
A great big joke on everyone
To make us see our end
And
it's a dirty trick from down below
A lowdown dirty deed
Cross my heart and hope to die
If I don't feel so free
Don't
you feel
Free
In
the middle of the struggle
For our daily bread
When I need forgiveness
From the living and the dead
When I need faith
In what's bigger than me
I turn to the sky
and I start to dream
I
float away
To the worlds in the dark
And our little prison
It don't seem so hard
And I laugh at wonderin'
Who made you girl
That you could love us
Locked down in hell
With
everyone watchin'
You let them fall down
Tears on your face
They water the ground
Taste on your tongue
Lets you know where you're from
You dream
You're beside yourself
He
say Hey Betty
We come too far
We come so far we don't know where we are
He say Hey Betty
We come far as the eye can see
Far as I can see
Trouble
always trouble
At the heart of our joy
Down the center of Main Street
In Baghdad and Detroit
At the start of a deep field
At the end of your rope
Questions to answers
Madness in hope
Callin'
good spirits of old
Callin' good spirits, guide us on
We've been runnin' from the devil
Runnin' us out of our mind
Got a world of trouble brewin'
We're runnin' ourselves out of time
Come,
come with your power
Everyone's a breath away
Everyone's a breath from the blue
Come,
come past the flowers
Bodies burnin' in the night
Bodies burnin' up to the moon
Callin'
good spirits of old
Callin' good spirits, guide us on
Bring
a rain of justice
Bring everything in darkness to light
An underground of evil
A mountain of upheaval to climb
Come,
come with your power
Always just a breath away
Always just a breath from the blue
Come,
come past the flowers
Bodies burnin' in the night
Bodies burnin' up to the moon
Come,
come fill this hour
Everyone's a breath away
Everyone's a breath from the blue
Come,
come past the towers
Bodies burnin' in the night
Bodies burnin' up to the moon
Come
