Lyrics:
Stand by to switch on
We fire out all pistons
We're singing along
But no one is listening
From dusk until dawn
We stay up to carry the flame
swept away
They were surrounded by their young charges
Children mostly nine years and ten
They were watching a children's movie
A girl and her blue
brown overcoat
They never said your name
But I knew just who they meant
I was so surprised and shocked
And I wondered, too
If by chance you heard
Another day gone down as the night turns
And I hold you here in my heart
As things fall apart
A downtown window flushed with light
Faces
I was broken
Blind by reason
That you would never understand
I was restless
I was hoping
That you would hold my hand
I leave the radio on and I just
the wind on my elbow
But I'm driving by the seat of my pants
I keep on tryin' to tune in, tune in on the radio
Trying to tune me out of my trance

Verse 1
I will leave the light on for ya'
With a plate
lamp by my pillow
And the things I have to do
It must have been years
It must have been years
The driver wants to touch me
He mentions all
Oh, ooh, oh yeah
Feel the underground breeze as the trains go by
Pushing through the crowd, to see the sky around you
I blink as the green light
They tried to put me into that lane
And we had to go our separate ways
Instead of fussin' and flippin' out
I did my thing and figured it out
Security
to the back
At 17 the only thing was everything, yeah
No Amerie, I left my one and only thing, yeah
All by my lonesome on my brand new journey thing
Like
Thes thingsll go slowly by
These things
they'll be where no one would think
And when given this life
I oughtve thanked you all who will take it
Thurston's lyrics to the original version's
lyrics, it's seems most likely that he's just singing random things
that sound like the original song -- here's
right now
I got some money in my pocket
And I won't need a ride, yeah
I got a big Jag car and a baby by my side, yeah
Well, I'm a little hot
ways, sure looks sweet (sweet thing)
Fine young lady, standing by (you look fine tonight)
Come on baby, sweet eye delight
I love the way that you move
It's not personal, it's strictly personal
Baby you got me on my damn knees
Understand i don't i don't owe you anything
Most time fly by you make me
to worse keep this on the hush, uh
I know you seen me on the video (true)
I know you heard me on the radio (true)
But you still don't pay me no
are, darling
I'm not that far behind
I'm not that far behind
By the side of the road is a thing with horns
That steps back into the trees
She's by herself again
In the quiet secret night
Below the neighbor's window
Hands in pockets; head on one side
And the radio plays an unknown
So you think love is only for the good enough
And one thing you're never gonna be worthy of
But there's a song being sung over you
By the One who
joints
Keep em all asleep
So what they got
You think is hot
But the real things in life
Your soul forgot
Don't hear it on the radio
Or mtv
I damn don't
could tell by da car
Champagne cavior
I say i love you
And i laugh
[Chorus:]
[Nate Dogg]
Ridin' in my car
And im listening to the radio
Im listening
in you
Why would you think or expect anybody else that's around you to?
I done did things that I regret
I done said things I can't take back
Was
your name
But I knew just who they meant
I was so surprised and shocked
And I wondered too
If by chance you heard it for yourself
I never told
