theater boys 04:22

Shadow men They come to drag you down Inside that narrow town The streets are underground The light it shines way off They try to get your gate You try to leave their night They try to steal your fate With words like 'back-up plan' And thoughts like 'settle down' So steal the horse and ride Out of this one horse town Find life is what you make Not what's been made for you See all the world's a stage You know it's true Cause we are the theater boys We had more excitement then they ever thought we would We watched Mercutio talk of dreams and feel the blade and curse the homes of those he loved cause death suggests he should We were the theater boys We were the lucky ones, oh... Green eyed monsters rear their ugly heads And all the lonely people offer up their beds They wish you lots of luck you will be famous boy Cause you got what it takes, you are my favorite toy I want to play with you until I break your face You are the man about town for your time and place And when you're giving soul and dancing super fast We will forget your dreams, your time has past... But we were the theater boys We had more excitement then they ever thought we'd have We got to storm the gates and fight the fates and play the play within the play Midsummer nights spent smoking in the grass We were the theater boys, we were the lucky ones, oh... They say go practice law Save a life Be a man You can't always do these fun things that you do This hollow advice means they do not know you can say: F-U-C-K-Y-O-U too... Looking glass, you're on the other side And if your soul's intact you can proceed with pride And please give back to those who have got less than you You will be strong if you remember true... That you were a theater boy Nothing short of lost until you stood upon the stage You got to sing and dance and had a chance to change your social circumstance with characters you made jump off the page You were a theater boy, you were a lucky one... You are a theater boy, you are a lucky one...

Listening to Springsteen with your laundry on the line Enjoying you prescription while treasuring the time Record static sounds the best, your mind is sharp as glass broke sideways Future could be way out west, so put your four wheels on the highways Mystery is covering the open sky above Find the clouds your needing, let it shower you with love We are angelic minstrels piping for the common man We are all broken whistles fixed and used for play in winter bands... Mr. Hennessy Won't you come drink with me Tell me I'm fancy free Or at least Tell me that we'll never be contestants in the victim contest We don't have to listen to the shouting in the square Boston is a memory and she is always there Something like a living dream when we are true and fair Love is what the choir sings when you don't understand Music man is beautiful Music man is blessed Plays all day on subway trains and never wants for rest Music Man is hero, yeah The Music Man is gold Music Man is youthful Even when he's gray and old Music Man has lovers But he loves only his muse Music Man's electric Without wire, without fuse Music Man's a dreamer 'bout a better world he sings Music Man is you and me The Music Man is king! Mr. Hennessy Don't wanna sound like no one else I wanna sound like me Tell me I'm fancy free Or at least Tell me that we'll never be contestants in the victim contest... (victim contest)

I'm from the ocean gray Do you not hold me up cause I'm like you? I'm from the ocean gray The freezing rain so mirky, never blue And we will sing out songs About our hero's, cut down monster swift And we will sail along This land is mine do not stand in my drift I spilled your blood and I will sing about you till I die An honor to spill your blood and nothing in my mind's eye wasn't right… We will fight for the world We've got our talismans And knives and swords and axes sharp and prime We've got our pagan Gods and we will not listen about your Christ I spilled your blood and I will celebrate you till I die I spilled your blood and I would do it morning blue and blackest night And honer to spill your blood and nothing in my mind's eye wasn't right They're making me King of these lands, you will be a specter in the night We will fight… Take a look at the old ones Giving glory to Odin I'd rather drink in the mead hall And dance with her Dance with her I wanna dance with her Cause she's the world I wanna dance with her... GIve me a son and I will celebrate you till the day I die Give me a daughter and I promise that I'll always do her right Show me the future and I'll hold it gently, won't let it slip by Now they've spilled my blood! Come light my funeral pyre This ship is a blazing fire Now I'll return to gray From whence I came.

Many many many Many nights have I slept In a basement the days forget Many many many Many roads I'll go To the places that no one knows Many many many Many years gone by Can you still look me in the eye? Many many many Many years to go Will you do something worth a show? And how many checks can you cash Before the supermarket's crashed? You say many many many Many many many Many many many Many many, mmm Many many many Many lines to learn Because I love you will I get burned Many many many promises to keep Or to break and then watch you weep Many many many Many lives are lost No one here is the fucking boss, yeah Many many many Many hearts to break Look back, is that what you made? How many checks can you cash? And will this drink here be your last? Or will there be many many many? Many many many Many many many Many many, mmm Don't you see me, or no? Don't you know who I am? Can't you be me while I go? Take vacation from the land Can't you scream for me? Can't you beam for me? Give me something I don't got Not your broken heart But a brand new start Is that so hard? (Oh no) Many man many Many ways to go down With a smile or with a frown Many many many Ways to raise you up You know you're drinking from a full cup How many checks can you cash Before the supermarket's crashed? And will this drink here be your last? Or will there by many many many? Many many many Many many many Many many many Many many many Many many many Many many many Many many many!

lyrics

Everyone has got to fade out Some go quiet, some go with a shout Some weak, frail, gone Some got Roy's clout Angels in backyards... Listening to the future Isn't a feat undone Try to run out the reaper But he can't be outrun Focus on time you've got, boy Everything under sun Angels are in the back room... It's all a mystery with no point Endgame where nothing ever goes down Beckett will offer waiting in gray Frenchman is never coming around Fury and sound that signify shit That's why the man reaches for his crown Tell me I'm incorrect.
