The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

Everyone considered him the coward of the county
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him Yellow
But something always told me, they were reading Tommy wrong
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy, 'cause he was my brother's son
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
"Son, my life is over, but yours has just begun"
"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I HOPE you're old enough to understand
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"
There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms, he didn't have to prove he was a man
One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came calling
They took turns at Becky an' there was three of them
Tommy opened up the door and saw Becky crying
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again
"Promise me, Son, not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I HOPE you're old enough to understand
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the bar room
One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor
When Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look! Old Yellow's leaving"
But you could've heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door
Twenty years of crawling was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holding nothing back, he let 'em have it all
When Tommy left the bar room, not a Gatlin boy was standing
He said, "This one's for Becky", as he watched the last one fall
And I heard him say
"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done
I walk away from trouble when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek
And Papa, I should HOPE you understand
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"
Everyone considered him the coward of the county

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
'Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know
Turn 'em on, turn 'em on
Turn on those sad songs
When all HOPE is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room, oh oh oh
Just feel their gentle touch (gentle touch)
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough oh to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
And it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues
So turn 'em on, turn 'em on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room, oh oh oh
Just feel their gentle touch (gentle touch)
When all hope is gone
You know sad songs say so much
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say so much
So, turn 'em on, (turn 'em on), turn 'em on, (turn 'em on)
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room, oh oh oh
Just feel their gentle touch (gentle touch)
When all hope is gone
You know sad songs say so much
When all hope is gone
You know sad songs say so much
When ever little bit of hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
When ever little bit of hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say

One, two, three, four
Well, I HOPE that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue
Well, the music plays and you display your heart for me to see
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Well, the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well, if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it
Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
Well, the night does funny things inside a man
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand
Well, I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
I can see that you are lonesome just like me
And it being late, you'd like some company
Well, I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me
The guy you're with, he's up and split, the chair next to you's free
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout
Well, I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found
I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you

I HOPE you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance... I hope you dance...
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance,
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin',
Don't let some Hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance... I hope you dance.
I hope you dance... I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years
And wonder where those years have gone.)

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but, boy, if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, heh, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I HOPE you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

only registered users can see external links
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole million man's soul an faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
HOPE you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
HOPE you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
HOPE you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
HOPE you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politnesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
Pleased to meet you
HOPE you guessed my name, mm yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Aah yeah
Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name?
Tell me baby, what's my name?
I tell you one time, you're to blame
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?
Hope there's someone who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go?
Hope there's someone who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired
There's a ghost on the 'rizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night
How will I rest my head?
Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there
There’s a man on the ‘rizon
Wish that I go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will I rest my head?
So here's hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don't want to go
To the seal's watershed
Hope there's someone who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go?
Hope there's someone who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired
Hope, hope
Everybody needs a little bit of that
Old fashion hope
Strength, strength
Everybody needs a little bit of that
Old fashion strength

I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm WANTED dead or alive
WANTED dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
The people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone, well, all you do is think
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm WANTED (WANTED), dead or alive
WANTED (WANTED), dead or alive
Oh, and I ride
Yeah
Oh, I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm WANTED (WANTED), dead or alive
And I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back
I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
'Cause I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm WANTED (WANTED), dead or alive
'Cause I'm a cowboy
I got the night on my side
And I'm WANTED (WANTED), dead or alive
And I ride (and I ride), dead or alive
I still drive (I still drive), dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive

Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say, how appropriate
I don't like to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
And all I really WANT is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really WANT is deliverance, ah
Do I wear you out?
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature, yeah
And what I wouldn't give to find a soul mate?
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred? Ah
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses is falling
All around, all around
Why are you so petrified of silence?
Here can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, you ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're going to die?
Or did you long for the next distraction?
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer
And all I really WANT is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really WANT is a wavelength, ah
And all I really WANT is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really WANT is some justice, ah
It's all I really WANT, some patience
A way to calm me down
And all I really WANT is deliverance
A place to find a common ground

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playin' lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you WANT
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I feel a summer's night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room
Baby it's a dream come true
Standin' right along side of you
Wish I could show you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel a something pounding in my brain
Just any time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound I hear thunder boom
Every time that you walk in the room
I lost at love before
Got mad and closed the door
But you said try just once more
I chose you for the one
Now I'm having so much fun
You treated me so kind,
I'm about to lose my mind
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
The others were untrue,
But when it came to lovin' you
I'd spend my whole life with you
'Cause you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
You always showed me that
Loving you was where it's at
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
Thank you baby, yeah yeah
I love you so much, it seems
That you're even in my dreams I can hear
Baby, I hear you calling me
I'm so in love with you
All I ever WANT to do is
Thank you, baby
Thank you, baby
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
You made me so very happy
You made me so, so very happy baby
I'm so glad you
Came into my life
Mmmm, I WANT to thank you, girl
Every day of my life
I wanna thank you
You made me so very happy
Oh, I wanna spend my life thanking you

Put on your Bobbi-sox baby
Roll up your old blue jeans
There's a band playin down at the armory
Know's what rock and roll really means
I WANT to ride in your '55 T-bird
Drive through some old memories
I ain't after your body baby
I just WANT you to dance with me
[Chorus]
I WANT to bop with you baby, all night long
I WANT to bop the night away
I WANT to make it night like it used to be
When our hearts were young and our souls were free
I WANT to bop with you baby, all night long
I WANT to be-bop with you baby till the break of dawn
I WANT to bop with you baby all night long
I got an old photograph in my pocket
We were still in our teens
Lord knows I feel a lot older now
But you still look the same to me
Honey, you don't ever laugh like you used to
And I don't WANT to see you blue
If you ain't busy tonight and you think it's alright
This is what I WANT to do
[Chorus]
Let's twist and shout
Oh, just like in the good old days
Baby, watch out
You know I just can't stand it when you look at me that way
I WANT to bop with you baby, all night long
I WANT to be-bop with you baby till the break of dawn
I WANT to bop with you baby all night
I WANT to bop with you baby all night long
I WANT to be-bop with you baby till the break of dawn
I WANT to make it a night like it used to be
When our hearts were young and our souls were free
I WANT to bop with you baby all night long
I WANT to be-bop with you baby till the break of dawn
I WANT to make it night like it used to be,
When our hearts were young and free

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never WANT to let you go
'Cause you started something, oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true, I only want to be with you
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Well, look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true, I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me
Asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance
Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
Oh, you stopped and you smiled at me
Asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
I didn't stand a chance
Now hear me darling, I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
I said, no matter, no matter what you do
I only want to be with you

Now the summer days are ending, leaves are falling, red and gold
Now the warmth of love is fading and the nights are getting cold
From the east the wind is blowing, now the sky's no longer blue
Overhead the clouds are growing, summer's gone and so are you
You WANTED to be free, love was just a game to you
And you never meant to be at this autumn rendez-vous
All the happiness life gave me changed to emptiness today
Now that you no longer love me, autumn's come, it's here to stay
Life seems empty now without you, it's not easy to forget
I may learn to live without you but I'll always feel regret
I would cry but it's no good, tears won't bring you back to me
Though I'd stop you if I could, I can't change what has to be
With the years I'll still remember and in time the hurt will go
I'll forget this sad September and be glad I loved you so.

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
come home, in the mornin' light
My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh momma dear, we're not the fortunate ones
And girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun
The phone rings, in the middle of the night
My father yells, "What you gonna do with your life?"
Oh daddy dear, you know you're still number one
But girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the workin' day is done
Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun (girls, they want)
(Wanna have fun, girls)

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest o' the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have
That's all they really WANT
Is some fun
When the workin' day is done
Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun (girls, they want)

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I

When I saw you standing there
About fell off my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet...
Lobo, I'D LOVE YOU TO WANT ME
When I saw you standing there
About fell off my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet
Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the WANT in your blue eyes
Baby, I'd love you to WANT me
The way that I WANT you
The way that it should be
Mmm, baby, you'd love me to WANT you
The way that I WANT to
If you'd only let it be
You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feelings show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave
Baby, I'd love you to WANT me
The way that I WANT you
The way that it should be
Mmm, baby, you'd love me to WANT you
The way that I WANT to
If you'd only let it be
Now, it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the WANT in your blue eyes
Baby, I'd love you to WANT me
The way that I WANT you
The way that it should be
Mmm, baby, you'd love me to WANT you
The way that I WANT to
If you'd only let it be
Oh baby, I'd love you to WANT me
The way that I WANT you
The way that it should be
Mmm, baby, you'd love me to WANT you
The way that I WANT to
If you'd only let it be

I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
This mountain, I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds, I see love shine
Keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I WANT you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me (hey)
Gotta take a little time
Little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
Looks like love has finally found me
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is (I wanna know)
I want you to show me (I wanna feel)
I wanna feel what love is (I know, I know, and I know)
I know you can show me
Let's talk about love
I wanna know what love is
(Love that you feel inside)
I want you to show me
(I'm feeling so much love)
I wanna feel what love is
(And you know, you just can't hide)
I know you can show me
Oh, I wanna know what love is
(Let's talk about love)
I know you can show me
(I wanna feel)
I wanna feel what love is
(And you know you just can't hide)
I know you can show me
I wanna feel what love is (oh, I wanna know)
I want you to show me
I don't want to, no, I don't want to
Be outside, when Zion gate close
I just want to, yes, I want to
Be inside, when Zion Gate close
'Cause the world is enslaved, millions are lost
Some seeking world power, some vanity
They don't remember Jah
Sadder, inequity, prostitution
Too much wrong-doings, in the sight of Jah
So I don't want to, no, I don't want to
Be outside, when Zion Gate close
I just want to, yes, I want to
Be inside, when Zion Gate close (I don't want to be outside)
Black woman, can't you see what they, are doing to you, oh?
Giving you evil bill, to destroy your nation
You're onto me, though one can teach the children
The wrong-doings
And tell them that it's right
So I don't want to, no, I don't want to
Be outside, when Zion Gate close
I just want to, yes, I want to
Be inside, when Zion Gate close
Yes, I want to
Be inside
I don't want you to be no slave
I don't want you to work all day
But I want you to be true
And I just wanna make love to you
Love to you, ooh, ooh
Love to you
All I want to do is wash your clothes
I don't want to keep you indoors
There is nothing for you to do
But keep me making love to you
Love to you, ooh, ooh
Love to you
And I can tell by the way you walk that walk
And I can hear by the way you talk that talk
And I can know by the way you treat your girl
That I could give you all the loving in the whole wide world
All I want you to do is to bake your bread
Just to make sure that you're well fed
I don't want you sad and blue
And I just wanna make love to you
Love to you, ooh, ooh
Love to you, ooh
And I can tell by the way you walk that walk
And I can hear by the way you talk that talk
And I can know by the way you treat your girl
That I could give you all the loving in the whole wide world
Oh, all I wanna do, all I wanna do is cook your bread
Just to make sure that you're well fed
I don't want you sad and blue
And I just wanna make love to you
Love to you, ooh, ooh
Real love to you, ooh, ooh
Love to you, ooh

Tu do do do, tu do do do, tu do do do, tu do do do do do do
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to TRACE
The tracks of my tears
I need you (need you), need you (need you)
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
Oh, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace
Oh, the tracks of my tears
Oh, I need you (need you), need you (need you)
Hey yeah, outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you
Baby, take a good look at my face
Oh, you'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah, just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, baby baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
Ooh, look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace

The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall
The things that you say to me
The look on your face
Brings out the man in me
Do I see a TRACE in your eyes of love
The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall
Could I be dreamin'
Is this really real
'Cause there's something magic
The way that I feel in your arms tonight
The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall
Keep fallin', oh, yeah, yeah, keep fallin', mm, fallin', oh, yeah, yeah, I'm fallin'
Yes, I'm fallin' (Yes, I'm fallin' Yes, I'm fallin')
Yes, I'm fallin' (Yes, I'm fallin' Yes, I'm fallin')
Yes, we're fallin' (Yes, we're fallin' Yes, we're fallin')
The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall
The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall

You gone and found somebody new
And let me lonely
I go around with somebody new
But I don't care
What a fool I was to think you were true
I loved you only
I never thought we'd ever go through
But I don't care
Guess, I'll have to start going places
Look around and find some new faces
I'll be pickin' over the TRACES
I don't care what happens to me
You're not the only fish in the sea
So I'm not waitin'
Don't you think you're gonna come back to me
For I don't care
Now, I know that all is said and done
You will always be the only one
Talkin' to yourself is never fun
I must run to someone new
What a fool I was to think you were true
I loved you only
I never thought we'd ever be through
But I don't care
Guess, I'll have to start going places
Look around and find some new faces
I'll be pickin' over the traces
I don't care what happens to me
You're not the only fish in the sea
So I'm not waitin'
Don't you think you're gonna come back to me
For I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Faded photographs, covered now with lines and creases
Tickets torn in half, memories in bits and pieces
TRACES of love long ago that didn't work out right
TRACES of love
Ribbons from her hair, souvenirs of days together
The ring she used to wear, pages from an old love letter
TRACES of love long ago that didn't work out right
TRACES of love with me tonight
I close my eyes and say a prayer that in her heart
She'll find a TRACE of love still there somewhere, oh
TRACES of hope in the night that she'll come back and dry
These TRACES of tears from my eyes, oh, yeah

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a TRACE of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in tryin'
All you get is pain?
When I needed sunshine, I got rain
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried
Oh
Oh, love was out to get me
Now, that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried
Yes, I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
Said, I'm a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I'm a believer)
Said, I'm a believer, yeah (I'm a believer)
I said, I'm a believer, yeah (I'm a believer)

Now there's a shadow passing over our faces
Doubt forever in our hearts
And in a while we'll have to pick up the TRACES
We won't find the missing parts.
Buy me a ticket I'll go to the Bahamas
I need a rest from our petty little dramas
Yes I really do
Aha um hum
Look what you've done
I'm missing all the fun,
Baby you owe me one.
Aha un hum
It's my turn to run
A chance to see the sun,
Baby you owe me one.
I wasn't ready for this kind of intrusion
I was taken by surprise
Now both of us are in a state of confusion
Hesitation on our hearts.
Something unwanted has entered our existence
I think it's better to view it from a distance
Yes I really do
Aha um hum
Look what you've done
I'm missing all the fun,
Baby you owe me one.
Aha un hum
It's my turn to run
A chance to see the sun,
Baby you owe me one.
All I can hear is wind shouting though the forest
All I can hear is the sun as it's shining
I wish I was home but I'm lost
They say she's waiting by the Natchez TRACE
In all the silver thread and cold black lace
When she put you in your resting place
Would you take my gold or leave my soul unscathed
All I can hear is the howling wind and a haunting woman I know
'Cause all the angels in heaven, devils in hell
I think I'm caught in this rock and roll
She's waiting by the Natchez Trace
In all the silver thread and cold black lace
When she put you in your resting place
Would you take my gold or leave my soul unscathed
You got to leave me alone
You got to leave me alone
You got to leave me alone
No, no, no, no
If the woman don't get ya the snakes will
This road is so long and so dark and so cold
She's one bad woman, one bad woman
Waiting for me, get your hands off me
She's waiting by the Natchez TRACE
In all the silver thread and cold black lace
When she put you in your resting home
No, no, no, no
Oh, no, she's one bad woman
You got to leave me alone
You got to leave me alone
Oh, no, she's one bad woman

Oh, yeah
Mmm
Still don't know what I was waitin' for
And my time was runnin' wild
A million dead end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
How the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
There's gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't TRACE time
Mmm, yeah
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame?
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't TRACE time
Strange fascinations fascinate me
Ah, changes are taking
The pace I'm goin' through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Ooh, look out, you rock 'n' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't TRACE time
I said that time may change me
But I can't TRACE time

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you.
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you.
Oh can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches with every step you take.
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you.
Since you've gone I've been lost without a TRACE.
I dream at night, I can only see your face.
I look around but it's you I can't replace.
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace.
I keep crying baby, baby, please...
Oh can't you see

I fell in love with a hooker
She laughed in my face
So seriously I took her
I was a disgrace
I was out of line, I was out of place
Out of time to save face
See the open mouth of my suitcase
Saying "Leave this place"
Leave without a trace (×3)
I tried to get a good job
With honest pay
Might as well join the mob
The benefits are okay
Standing in the sun with a popsicle
Everything is possible
With a lot of luck and a pretty face
And some time to waste
Leave without a trace (×3)
I tried to dance at a funeral
New Orleans-style
I joined the Grave Dancers Union
I had to file
Trying to do the right thing, play it straight
The right thing changes from state to state
Don't forget to take your mace
If you're out walking late
Liked to see your face
You left without a trace
You leave without a trace
I like the dark
It is my friend
There at beginnin’s
Be there at the end
I like my own
Company
That way it’s easier
At least for me
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
I travel light
I’m real good
A learnin’ so worthy
Yeah I understood
Yes I understood
Yes I understood
Yes I understood
There’ll be no trace
When I leave
The lines on my face
A map, easy to read
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
The road I take
Is made for one
I don’t regret
All the thing I done
All the thing I done
All the thing I done
All the thing I done
All the thing I done
I like the dark
