| Fuel Satan, you know where I lie Gently I go into that good night All our lives get complicated Search for pleasures overrated Never armed our souls What the future would hold When we were innocent
Angels, lend me your might Forfeit all my lives to get just one right All those colors long since faded All our smiles are confiscated Never were we told We'd be bought and sold When we were innocent
This prayer is for me tonight This far down that line and still ain't got it right
And while confessions not yet stated Our next sin is contemplated Never did we know What the future would hold Or that we'd be bought and sold When we were innocent, innocent When we were innocent

| "To anyone who's lost a friend or been involved in drunk driving accident" Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life

| "Leader Of Men"
Tell your friends not to think aloud Until they swallow Whisper things into my brain Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men Since I prefer to follow Do you think I could have a drink Since it's so hard to swallow So hard to swallow
So turn the television off and I will sing a song And if you suddenly have the urge You can sing along
I touch your hand, I touch your face I think the fruit is rotten Give me lessons on how to breath Cause I think I've forgotten I think I've forgotten
One day, up to a cliff That overlooked the water I jumped in to save a girl It was somebody's daughter And now the ring is on my hand It was given to me by her To this day we all sit around And dream of ways to get higher To get much higher EDIT: "All is well" | | |
| R.E.M. Life is bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no I've said too much I set it up
That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm Choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded fool Oh no I've said too much I set it up
Consider this The hint of the century Consider this The slip that brought me To my knees failed What if all these fantasies Come flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream That was just a dream
