Twisted Games lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

He was lost in a kerosene dream

Fuelled by the urge inside

Always been told not to play with fire

Never was one to abide

It all started way back when

When the neighbor's house burnt down

Hypnotized by the burning flame

And in that flame his love was found

Now time went on like it always does

No one knew about his love affair

Love it was it's a twisted game

Now he's gone with out a prayer

Today he learnt his lesson well

Today he burnt like you do in hell

I wish this tale could end another way

In twisted games we should never play

Now I'll tell you another tale

About a boy who loved his gun

His 45 was his one best friend

Twisted games that can't be won

Another day or so they thought

No one knew what was to come

This little town will never be the same

With a little boy who loved his gun

Today he learnt his lesson well

Today he burnt his one last shell

I wish this tale could end another way

Twisted games we should never play

The Food Song lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Recipes are just combinations

And what are these just mere salutations

When they plead for our salvation

Are these just the lies that feed our nations 

As enemies we never learn

A shaking hand is never firm

But as the path clears we turn away from it all

All these jealousies we have earned 

Oh so shamelessly they still return 

All the outlandish lessons we have burned 

Yes and we're imprisoned by the whole thing

Who gets something really good to eat

Why do we want the world to fall at our feet

Like a child throws its food to the floor

Like an apple that is rotten to the core

As all the memories they kick in

The gravy, it is thickening

The combination is sickening

But we still press on

And as all the memories they kick

While the gravy it is thickening

And the combination is sickening

But we still press on

How to know what's in your head

How to know if you're just playing dead

But it's all gonna be that way when you say you're alone and imprisoned by your yesterdays

Oh you know what you really want 

But yet you've turned yourself into what you don't really wanna be

Here we are and we know don't have to be that way

yes u know it

If It Can't Be Found lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Dreams

Had more than a few

Dreams

And some did come true

We just can't get enough

Now we've got all we wanted

Still we're not satisfied at all

If it can't be found

You'll never get it

If it can't be found

If it can't be found

Greed

What can we do

Greed

Can't satisfy you

We just can't get enough

Now we've got all we wanted

Still we're not satisfied at all

If it can't be found

You'll never get it

If it can't be found

If it can't be found

If You Don't Know By Now lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

There's that place

A good place to start

There's that end

That's the beginning of it all

Are you that girl

That's going to break my heart

I don't wanna be me

When disappointment makes its call

All I know is that…

If you don't know by now

All my hope it gone

You must know

Know what you want

And if you go

It don't matter who is at fault

Now I see

I'm up against the wall

Don't wanna be me

When disappointment makes its call

All I know is that…

If you don't know by now

All my hope is gone

Oh yea…it's so hard to say

Seems to be this day

Seems to be that way

I don't know what to tell you

I don't know what to tell you

It's so hard to believe that this could be the end

If you don't know by now 

All my hope is gone

If you don't know by now

Where did I go wrong

Been Here Once Before lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Got your back up against the wall

Now you know that after all

When you make mistakes like that

There's no more turning back

Now we've gone and we've lost our heads

You're better off just playing dead

Why you wearing that black hat

There's no point in turning back

I know, I know, I know

That we've been here once before

I know, I know, I know

That we've been here once before

Well all you know is you need to win

Should you go when your call comes in

Once you see all the blood that flows

I don't think you'll be winning more

Now I thought that was all in the past

And that beast would come back last

Once again we are at war

Yes I know we've been here before

I know, I know, I know

That we've been here once before...that's for sure

I know, I know, I know

That we've been here once before

And I don't think you'll be winning more

We've been here once before

We've been here that's for sure

I don't think you'll be winning more

We've been here once before

We've been here that's for sure

I know, I know, I know

That we've been here once before...that's for sure

I know, I know, I know

That we've been here once before

And I don't think you'll be winning more

We've been here once before

We've been here that's for sure

I don't think you'll be winning more

We've been here once before

We've been here that's for sure

I know, I know, I know

That we've been here once before

I know, I know, I know

That we've been here once before

Been here once before...

Are You Still Having Fun? lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

You are on your own

You do as you please

Having so much fun

Gone and lost your reason

After all is said and done

Are you still having fun?

How were you to know when youve gone astray?

That happiness would go like a lost emotion

You have always gone your way

Are you happy today?

Well you know when youve been defeated

You dont care and you thank no one

Feeling low you will always need it

Are youre having fun

You dont know what is it youve done

You dont know that...

This was your mistake with the master plan

With all the drugs you take, you can hardly stand

After all is said and done

Are you still having fun?

Well, you know when youve been defeated

You dont care and you thank no one

Feeling low you will always need it

Are youre having fun...

Are you still having fun?

You dont know what it is youve done

Just to show that youre having fun

You dont know what it is youve done

Just to show that...

I can set you straight if you let me stay

I hope Im not too late

No you wont regret it

I can show you the way

And make you happy today

Yes, you know when youve been defeated

You dont care and you thank no one

Feeling low you will always need it

Well, you know when youre being cheated

Yes, you know when youve been defeated

Feeling low you will always need it

Now you*re having fun...

And are you still having fun?

Are you still having fun?

Are you still having

One Good Reason lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

And I'll be there

Like a thief you've stolen

Like rain on a grave

Like a priest who's spoken

But failed to save

Now the air is empty

And the ground the same

Love has gone to be buried

Beside my name

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

And I'll be there

Why couldn't you have told me

about your liar's kiss

I can't believe you'd leave me

At a time like this

And the wind is howling

And it's a dying dream

And my faith is silent

While my doubts scream

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

And I'll be there

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Burning Up lyrics - Eagle Eyey Cherry

Would you believe me

If I said I'd never lie

Though it ain't easy

I can tell you I have tried

But I got to say

That it comes those days

That I told something untrue

Would you forgive me

If I said I'd lied to you

This is my fear

To tell you what I've done

As things come clear

I'm afraid that you'll be gone

But all I know

Is if you go

At least I've told what's true

Hope you'll forgive me

When I say I've lied to you

I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Yes I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

How will you kill me

For what I'm about to tell

Please do it gently

'Cause you know I'm bound for hell

All I know is 

I've lost my soul

I'm burning inside

Hope you'll forgive me

Yes I have lied

Oh yes I've lied

I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Yes I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Now you know that I've gone

And I've been untrue to you

And once it's told

Well you know there's nothing we can do

I regret that I let this get so out of hand

I pray, please stay, that you'll understand

I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Yes I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

I'm burning up...

Together lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Madness is fragile and fragile is she

In chaos she's agile and madness is me

We knew from the beginning it wasn't alright

Like being in a padded room for more than one night

Judgment escaped me I speak for us both

Like the bond that we made let's call it an oath

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Filled with the confidence of nothing to loose

Armed with an axe and a whole lot of booze

Plans were made down to each detail

With a plan like that how could we fail

We packed all our gear in the trunck of my brother's car

'Cause time is running out says the clock on the wall

Judgment escaped me I speak for us both

Like the bond that we made we call it an oath

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Madness is fragile and fragile is she

In chaos she's agile and madness is me

She had the key to keeping me insane

But now I'm gone and she's got to be tamed

As I am telling you as it is true

I'm on my way to bury you

Gonna put you down under

Gotta put you down under 

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Long Way Around lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

You say what you say

And you pray that one day

You'll be seen between the shadows

Now that's a waist of your pain

Living your life like a saint

When it don't...no

It don't even matter

Even saints make their mistakes

Letting their dreams fall and break

All it feels like

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

Now I want you to see

How good life can be

You can turn around

And better your life

With the good times found

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

I'm not afraid of pride

When it's for the right side

Don't betray what I believe in

Stand where you want to stand

And I'll believe when I can

'Cause I'm telling you now

I been where you're living in

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

Will tomorrow keep it's promise

No one here can say

The past is all behind us

And all we have is today

And all we have is today

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

Lonely Days lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Girl I can't abide

By the rules you laid down in this game

'cause now I've gone and lost myself in you

One time you catch a ride

And it takes you miles away

There's a chance of never feeling blue

And those lonely days will be long time forgotten

If we could find another way

Now let's contemplate is this time of passion

Strong enough to make you stay

Because I do believe in forever

And forever I will stay

And those lonely days will remain

Miles and miles away

Emotional exile

Is the safest way to play

Gotta take a chance every now and then

Irresistible change of heart

I will guide your way

We could share a life again

And those lonely days will be long time forgotten

If we could find another way

Now let's contemplate is this time of passion

Strong enough to make you stay

Because I do believe in forever

And forever I will stay

And those lonely days will remain

Miles and miles away

Miles and miles away

Miles and miles away

Miles and miles away

Miles and miles away....

[repeat]

Girl I can't abide

By the rules you laid down in this game

First To Fall lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

What you doing in the alley

What you doing my friend

What you doing in the alley

Are you lost again

Ain't no good going down that road honey

Ain't no good at all

Getting down on your knees just for the money

And you're the first to fall

No shame you feel no shame

Just come back home again

No blame I lay no blame

Just come back home again

Going on a road trip easy rider

One thing you've got to know

You walking on a minefield

Better watch your number

Before you know it you might blow

I can see the sand in the hourglass

And I can hear the last call

You better take you're chance before it's in the past

And you're the first to fall

No shame you feel no shame

Just come back home again

No blame I lay no blame

Just come back home again

No shame you feel no shame

Just come back home again

No blame I lay no blame

Just come back home again

Just come back home again

Just come back home again

Just come back home again

Just come back home again

Just come back home again

Miss Fortune lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

She is my Miss Fortune

With all the troubles we have had

When ever I am around her

I do something bad

Trouble is her lover

Trouble is her friend

When ever I am around her

I commit a sin

Trouble is her love

Troubled love

She Didn't Believe lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

He's going back to Georgia

Because he knows time and time has come

don't even know if shell be waiting

Because he's been gone for way too long

How long will you stay

Boy you don't got nine lives to waste

How long will you stay

Saving time losing grace

She believed every word he told her

About the troubles and how they start

She didn't listen to the laughter

She only listened to her heart

How long will you stay

Boy you don't got nine lives to waste

How long will you stay

Saving time losing grace

She didn't believe

She didn't believe

She didn't believe

She didn't believe

He made a promise to no one

That he could right a wrong

He wanted to do something just

But he was just gone

How long will you stay

Boy you don't got nine lives to waste

How long will you stay

Saving time losing grace

She didn't believe

She didn't believe

She didn't believe believe believe

She didn't believe what they told her about her lover

Nothing left bet her tears and theirs were laughter

Forever after

Shades Of Grey lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

If you start here late no one will know what you did

No the streets are straight it's the soul that's crooked

I've been treated fine I've been treated elegantly

But I'm not one for bathing in the waters of plenty

East is east west is west

And bowery is screaming while delancey rests

Well I'm south of the skating but I'm north of the cash

I could sure use the money but I'm ashamed to ask

The traffic has buried all of last nights rain

The words are all different but the accent is the same

The sun is white and the moon is gray

And the river is black blue and green

The young are young and the old are old

And there are no shades of gray in between

There's at least ten different strains of smoke in the air

And my prints are on them all to prove I was there

And I love the curses but I'm not one for the trenches

And I do love the walking but thank God for the benches

It's hard to tell where green begins and the city gray stops

I guess the trees all bought their armor at second hand shops

My second had is working but the minute hand is broke again

I know time will pass but I don't know when

The sun is white and the moon is gray

And the river is black blue and green

The young are young and the old are old

And there are no shades of gray in between

And there are no shades of gray in between

I know the great ones have been here but where I cant tell

There's dreams here a plenty but they're being withheld

And I'm more impressed with the closed doors than the ones that are open

The whole place tells time by a tower clock that's broken

The pigeons are ravens and the gulls are vultures

And trash is art and cash is culture

The sun is white and the moon is gray

And the river is black blue and green

The young are young and the old are old

And there are no shades of gray in between

There are no shades of gray in between

There are no shades of gray in between

Save Tonight lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Go on and close the curtains

'Cause all we need is candlelight

You and me, and a bottle of wine

To hold you tonight (oh)

Well we know I'm going away

And how I wish - I wish it weren't so

So take this wine and drink with me

And let's delay our misery

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

There's a log on the fire

And it burns like me for you

Tomorrow comes with one desire

To take me away (ohh it's true)

It ain't easy to say good-bye

Darlin' please, don't start to cry

'Cause girl you know I've got to go (oh)

And Lord I wish it wasn't so

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow comes to take me away

I wish that I, that I could stay

But girl you know I've got to go (oh)

And Lord I wish wasn't so

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight

Save tonight

Save tonight

Save tonight

Oh that's right

Save tonight

Save tonight
