Screaming in laughter, under the covers
What are we after? Nothing but everything
When you’re faced with
the unknown, you leave it alone
You let it die softly. Just. Right. There.
You’re tangled in my hair.
And that soft noise, that hard choice
We reminisce of the same and there is no shame
From each other and the distance
that mingles along the city lights,
City streets – that city strife
We erupt
And it’s corrupt because
Sweet, be a dream – I like you on your knees
Screaming in laughter, under the covers
What are we after? Nothing but everything
Whispering and whimpering
Lay low, stay low, be there
I’ll be floating amongst the greatness of chaos
Because baby, I want you but can’t have you
Like that kid in the store who just wants more
Sweet, be a dream – I like you on your knees
Screaming in laughter, under the covers
What are we after? Nothing but everything
Sleep
Sleep
Creep
Sleep
Sleep
WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU HURT YOURSELF?
OPENED YOUR EYES AND THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE?
NOW I'VE GOT YOU IN THE UNDERTOW.
NOW I'VE GOT YOU IN THE UNDERTOW.
WHY YOU WANNA BLAME ME FOR YOUR TROUBLES?
AH
AH
AH
AH
YOU BETTER LEARN YOUR LESSON YOURSELF.
NO BODY EVER HAS TO FIND OUT WHAT'S IN MY MIND TONIGHT.
Ladies and gentlemen? Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much for visiting with us this evening. Now, I've traveled across half our state to be here and to see about this land. Now, I daresay some of you might have heard some of the more extravagant rumors about what my plans are; I just thought you'd like to hear it from me. This is the face. There's no great mystery. I'm an oilman, ladies and gentlemen. I have numerous concerns spread across this state. I have many wells flowing at many thousand barrels per day. I like to think of myself as an oilman. As an oilman, I hope that you'll forgive just good old fashioned plain-speaking. Now, this work that we do is very much a family enterprise- I work side by side with my wonderful son, H.W.- I think one or two of you might have met him already. And I encourage my men to bring their families, as well. Of course it makes for an ever so much more rewarding life for them. Family means children. Children means education. So wherever we set up camp, education is a necessity, and we're just so happy to take care of that. So let's build a wonderful school in Little Boston. These children are the future that we strive for and so they should have the very best of things. Now something else, and please don't be insulted if I speak about this - bread. Let's talk about bread. Now to my mind, its an abomination to consider that any man, woman or child in this magnificent country of ours should have to look upon a loaf of bread as a luxury. We're going to dig water wells here. Water wells means irrigation, irrigation means cultivation. We're going to raise crops here where before it just simply was impossible. You're going to have more grain than you'll know what to do with. Bread will be coming right out of your ears, ma'am. New roads. Agriculture. Employment, education. These are just a few of the things we can offer you, and I assure you ladies and gentlemen, that if we do find oil here, and I think there's a very good chance that we will, this community of yours will not only survive, it will flourish.
and when I have something to give, I want to give it all
with all my might, with all my strength, with all my love
but with the reminder of failure, a lack of response, or nothing at all
what is there to give to you that I shouldn't just give to myself
a sweet neck rub, a romantic sunset kiss, a walk in the woods,
a conversation from the beginning and a happy ending
and when I have something to give, I want to give it all
but all is all I got and all I got is me and me doesn't feel like a lot
but I got me, it's all that I got, it's all that I need,
the only person I can trust is me
and when I have something to give, I want to give it all
a dance around the living room, a long car ride, roaming the unknown
and when I have something to give, I want to give it all
with all my might, with all my strength, with all my love
but with the reminder of failure, a lack of response, or nothing at all
what is there to give you that I shouldn't just give to myself
what is there to give you that I shouldn't just give to myself
what is there to give you that I shouldn't just give to myself
