Lyrics:
Southern nights
Have you ever felt a southern night?
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so
its the Upside Down
See the lights flicker when you're not around.
So I'll be sticking to my old ways
I'll be sticking to my old ways
Take your time,
left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal,
I sat there on the coast of Marseilles
My thoughts came by like wind through my hand
How good it'd be to feel you again
How good it'd be to feel that
it, it's as good as dead
It has to come to life
Bit by bit, putting it together
Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art
Every moment makes
Guess that makes two, me and you
By the way, my name's Jones
Hey, I know a place, it's not far from here
That's my dented red Chevy out front
You
we're wasting time
Not so bored that we can't find a better way
My friends, my kind
No one's gettin' left behind
If they did, it'd be a crime
That's
does
'Cause I only feel alive (only feel alive)
When I dream at night (when you're by my side)
Even though she's not real it's all right
(That
"I don't need it!"
Sometimes it's just no fun
To feel like you're the only one
Who doesn't go along, when things seem wrong
But they're not my friends
now just don't seem right somehow,
But it's the best way to get by that I've found.
There's no love left at home, we're both just hangin' on,
Oh
As the city lights up the night
I feel so
Good cause I did it my way
And I know
That I'm just livin' the life of girls and gold
And I feel so good
your momma is
Overloaded by the way you talk
A hairpin trigger that I can't stop
Empty words taking up my time
And you can have your way but you can't
connection, yeah
Operator place a call keep secret but it through
Investigator knows it all he's at the window I wonder who
I've got to cut the line
that keeps forever more
You feel as I do when I ache
My heart could break down in a lonely stage
You better let your heart find a man before it's
the streetlight (Light)
I am not okay do not ask why
Ring ring operator I don't feel right (Feel right)
Put me through to someone I don't feel fine (Feel fine)
and the time before that
In Paterson that's just the way things go
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you want to draw the heat
and the time before that
In Paterson that's just the way things go
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you want to draw the heat
Couldn’t find a job
Not even a restroom to use
Talkin’ ‘bout that Jim Crow –
Jim Crow blues
Well, John wrote a book, “Black Like Me”
Mighta heard about it
lost it
It was crazy, this shit went way beyond some JAY-Z and Nas shit
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
I spent so much
always
Really complicated, we're too deep, babe (deep, babe)
Really safe, the way your arms just feel safe (feel safe)
Used to be afraid to say it, felt
darling
That's the way you feel
I will not discuss the past
Life goes by us much too fast
To look behind and dwell on trouble
Someday it could
lost it
It was crazy, this shit went way beyond some JAY-Z and Nas shit
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
I spent so much
I'm not
I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain top
'Til I feel your
Rain
Feel it on my finger tips, hear it on my window pane
Your love's
anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
Backbeat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
