Lyrics:
there?s no where else on earth
That I would rather be.
Let the time go by
I won?t care if i
Can be here on the street where you live,
Let me be
The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by
They go into the seas that have
she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what you doin' with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear
Here in this shell of a house,
This house that is struggling to be.
Falling through the hall,
Coming straight through the wall,
Is hope staring
may suddenly appear
People stop and stare
They don't bother me
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be
Let the time go by
I won't
nights wishing it was how it used to be
He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity
I call just checkin' up on him
He's up, 3 AM
heartbreak
Is a sound bite at the news break
With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face
Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye
And stops
three for my people
I know say I'm bound to be next like my neighbor, ye
One by one, let me see you (put your lighters up)
Two by two for the sequel
that somehow I'll get by
But there's nobody home to go home to
And tonight I'd like to lay me down and cry
I see it in my foggy mind
The shutters
'cause it look live
They gave her forty years in New Orleans, callin me boys
Shorty was young, by three days had a great bid
Light is shinin' beauty
Every flicker, every thought going by
Is it madness?
Is it the worst kind of madness?
No, it's the best of all
Nobody looked at me like that before
coming, still no stopping
Break to check the clock at three
They're right on where they want to be
Four o'clock get up and going
Five o'clock that
[Chorus]
Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for sun and daughter
Down
told me, "I was never looking for a friend
Maybe you could swing by my room around ten
Baby, bring the lemon and a bottle of gin
We'll be in between
That wasn't me at a quarter to three back in our backyard
Tearing up the roses and the home grown tomatoes in my new car
Those bottles in
He said that he predicted his own death
Let us never forget it or should we ever live to regret it
Like the day John F Kennedy was assassinated in
the stories that go on inside
And then ask yourself if it must be this way
Should walls and doors and plaster ceilings
Separate us from each others'
Let the time go by
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street, where you live
And oh, oh ,oh the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are
You know your night's complete
How can you live like that?
How can you live like that?
People have bars on their windows, and three locks
And tell her that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four,
I hear her on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down
When there is nobody
seen the sunshine since I dont know when
Lord, Im stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on
And that train keeps a-rollin on down the San An....
the breeze - see I'm nice with these
You'll be suckin it down like fast food high-see's
Type of rap bitch that love underground classics
Gettin more green than
some other big time customer, probably a hustler
Who looked down at my small chain and chuckled up
I said, "I'll be just like you soon, motherfucker
Oh, that's the way it ought to be
Mama say that's the way it ought to stay, yeah, yeah, oh oh
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
Discuss these be like that live by 3 doors down Lyrics with the community:
