şarkı sözü,şarkı sözleri, Lyrics

If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break
If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break
And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Thinkin bout my baby and my happy home

If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break
If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break
And all these people have no place to stay

Now look here mama what am I to do
Now look here mama what am I to do
I aint got nobody to tell my troubles to

I works on the levee mama both night and day
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I aint got nobody, keep the water away

Oh cryin wont help you, prayin wont do no good
Oh cryin wont help you, prayin wont do no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose

I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works so hard, to keep the water away

I had a woman, she wouldnt do for me
I had a woman, she wouldnt do for me
Im goin back to my used to be

Is a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
Is a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home

Mother, mother
Theres too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
Theres far too many of you dying
You know weve got to find a way
To bring some lovin here today

Father, father
We dont need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know weve got to find a way
To bring some lovin here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Dont punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, whats going on
Whats going on
Ya, whats going on
Ah, whats going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks were wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know weve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Dont punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
Whats going on
Ya, whats going on
Tell me whats going on
Ill tell you whats going on
Right on baby
Right on baby

Disappear
Disappear
Higher
Higher
Into the air
Slowly disappear
No, no longer here

Disappear
Disappear
Thinner, thinner
Into the air

Never really here
What that never

Floating away
Floating away (repeated)

Vanishing like a cyan sunday
Disappear
Disappear
Vanish, vanish into the air
Slowly disappear
Never really here

Floating away
Floating away (repeated)

Dead as dead can be
From what the doctor tells me
But I just cant believe him
prefer the optimistic one
Im sure of your ability
to become my perfect enemy

Wake up to face me
rise up and show me
someday Ill say youre vacant
and maybe youre better off this way

Leaning over you here
cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
of what you could and might have been
Its your right and your ability
… My perfect enemy

Wake up (again to why cant you) face me
rise up and show me
Someday Ill say youre vacant
and maybe youre better off this way

Maybe youre better off this way
People better off this way
Youre better off this way
youre better off this
youre better off this
Maybe youre better off

Wake up (again to why cant you) face me, come on and
Rise up, (why cant you I tell you,) show me (show me)
Some day Ill say youre vacant
and maybe youre better off this way

Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear me
3x Why cant you turn and face me
You fucking disappoint me

humble and helpless
learning to pray
praying for visions to show me the way
show me the way to forgive you
allow me to let it go
allow me to be forgiven and
show me the way to let go
illuminate me im just praying
for you to show me where im to begin
reconnect to you

lying all alone and restless
unable to lose this image
sleepless unable to focus on anything but your surrender
tuggin a rhythm to the vision thats in my head
tuggin a beat to the sight of you lying
so delighted with a new understanding
something about a little evil that makes that
unmistakeable noise i was hearing
unmistakable soud that i know so well
spent and sighing with that look in your eye
spent and sweatin with that look on your face like
sweet revelation
sweet surrender
thinking of you
thinking of you
sweet revelation
sweet surrendering

Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
I am what Im after
I dont need another friend
Smile and drop the cliche
Till you think Im listening
I take just what I came for
Then Im out the door again

Peripheral long the package
Dont care to settle in
Time to feed the monster
I dont need another friend
Comfort is a mystery
Crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for, then Im out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get just what I need
Lie to get what I crave
Lie and smile to get whats mine

I am what Im after
I dont need another friend
Nod and watch your lips move
If you need me to pretend
Because clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
Ill take just what I came for
Then Im out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what Im craving
Lie and smile to get whats mine

Give this to me
Mine, mine, mine
Take whats mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take whats mine
Mine, mine, mine

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what Im craving
Lie to smile and get whats mine

Give this to me
Take whats mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take whats mine
Give this to me

Take whats mine, take whats mine, mine…
Take whats mine, take whats mine, take whats mine,
This is mine, mine, mine (whispered)

Say hello to the rugs topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You cant see it but you know its there so dont neglect it

Im taking her home with me all dressed in white
Shes got everything I need pharmacy keys
Shes falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to all the apples on the ground

They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping
Say hello to everything youve left behind
Its even more a part of your life now that you cant touch it

Im taking her home with me all dressed in white
Shes got everything I need some pills and a little cup
Shes falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
Without himself
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But Im more than just curious
How youre planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

Recall the deeds as if
Theyre all someone elses
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But Im more than just curious
How youre planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down (repeated)

Your halo slipping down to choke you now

Dont fret precious Im here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I wont let the boogeyman come

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say
They dont care about you, like I do, like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they dont give a fuck about you, like I do.

Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I wont let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

Ill be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons

Ill be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason

Ill be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
Theyre one in the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and
Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drum

The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming

Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drum

Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other one
The evil ones
Dont love you son,
Go back to sleep
