Peace Frog


There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it's following me
Think about the break of day

She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

She came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh She came
Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city
She came
The women are crying rivers of weepin'

She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A.

Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following me

Everybody Hurts


When your day is long and the night
And the night is yours alone
When you think you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go 'cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night hold on (hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you're sure you've had too much
Of this life, hang on

'Cause everybody hurts sometimes
Take comfort in your friends
And everybody hurts
Don't blow your hand
Oh no
Don't blow your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No no no you're not alone

If you're on your own in this life
And the days and nights are long
If you're sure you've had too much
Of this life to hang on

You know everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries sometimes
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts sometimes

So hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
'Cause you know you're not alone

More Than This


I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
We can say where they're blowing
As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this, you know there's nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, there's nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like dream in the night
We can say where we're blowing
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this, you know there's nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, there's nothing

More than this, you know there's nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, there's nothing

Gnarls Barkley doing "Crazy"

Duration 3:28




_____



by Gnarls Barkley
      Cee-Lo Green
      Danger Mouse



Crazy


I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind.
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo in so much space.

And when you're out there, without care,
I was out of touch.
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough.
I just knew too much.

Would that make me crazy?
Would that make me crazy?
Would that make me crazy?
Possibly.

And I hope that you are having the time of your life.
Think twice.
That's my only advice.

Come on now who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul.
You really think you're in control?

Well, I think you're crazy.
I think you're crazy.
I think you're crazy,
just like me, just like me.

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb.
And all I remember is thinkin' I wanna be like them.

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun.
And there's no coincidence I've come.
And I'll die when I'm done.

But maybe I'm crazy.
Maybe you're crazy.
Maybe we're crazy.
Probably!
