Someone who isn't like you and to waste it all. Someone to be around, Someone to have me hold when the deal goes down. Didn't I say it would happen this way in the end? Didn't I say it would happen this way in the end? A perfect stranger is what it seems, A p...

Some fools don't know what's right from wrong, But somehow those folks belong. Me, I try for all I'm worth, But I still remain a stranger on this earth. Some people gloom, other folk cry. Me, I have to struggle to keep alive. Ever since the day of my birth I'...

You've been right and I've been wrong, I've been weak and you've been strong. You've been good and I've been bad, Think I've had enough of that. 'Cause all I wanna do in life Is to love somebody with all my might. All I wanna do in life Is to love someb...

From childhood's hour I have not been As others were — I have not seen As others saw — I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov'd, I...

Sometimes the most beautiful things The most innocent things And many of those dreams pass us by Keep passing me by You feel good I said it's funny that you understood I knew you would when you were good You were very, very good So I close my eyes softly Til...

It was many and many a year ago, In a a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me; I was a child and she was a child, In this kin...

I once used to think in my innocent youth, (And I once was as innocent as you), That someone some day might come my way, And then I should know what's best to do. And if he'd got money, and seemed a nice chap, And his workday shirts were white as snow, And if...

Before the poison, I wasn't down If you'd been there, if you'd been around I couldn't hear, couldn't hear a sound I was floating above the ground Before the poison, I had lost my fear Maybe too happy to even care Safe in my dream, couldn't see the fog Comin'...

So searching down and out looking for a place to stay A place of no commitment, a place with no involvement. I got one eye on insanity, the other on the wheel, One's turning, one's burning, blazing away. One's turning, one's burning, blazing away. Strange-loo...
