Lyrics:

Snow Angel

Once upon a winter
It seems so long ago
My one and only love and I
Fell down upon the snow

And as the dusk was falling
From our gray and goose down sky
We heard the old cathedral bells
Ring out our lullaby

Snow angel, snow angel
Someday I’m gonna fly
This cold and broken heart of mine
Will one day wave goodbye
Goodbye to this cruel wicked world
And all the tears I’ve cried
Snow angel, snow angel
I’ll meet you in the sky

The rumors of a distant war
Called my true love’s name
He packed his leather suitcase
And spoke no word of blame
We walked awhile together
I tried to hide my fear
He told me not to be afraid
And whispered in my ear

They brought my love home from the war
In a cart pulled by white mules
The Christmas bells rang out that day
Oblivious as fools

And as the snow began to fall
I kissed his frozen face
They told me in his woolen coat
His last few words were placed

LYRICS

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don’t do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell ‘em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she’ll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s “off with her head!”
Remember what the dormouse said:
“Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head”

Have You Ever Felt Like You Don’t Belong Here???

auburndaleray — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 03:00:28 +0000

Have you ever had the feeling that you just don’t belong? Sort of a creepy type feeling?

Well, guess what! You are not alone. In fact, a song was written just for you and me!

Watch, read the lyrics and look for a place to lurk in the shadow.

When you were here before,
Couldn’t look you in the eye,
You’re just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry;

You float like a feather,
In a beautiful world,
I wish I was special,
You’re so very special;

But I’m a creep,
I’m a weirdo,
What the hell am I doin’ here?
I don’t belong here;

I don’t care if it hurts,
I wanna have control,
I want a perfect body,
I want a perfect soul;

I want you to notice,
When I’m not around,
You’re so very special,
I wish I was special;

But I’m a creep,
I’m a weirdo,
What the hell am I doin’ here?
I don’t belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

She’s running out again,
She’s running,
She runs runs runs runs…
Runs…

Whatever makes you happy,
Whatever you want,
You’re so very special,
I wish I was special;

But I’m a creep,
I’m a weirdo,
What the hell am I doin’ here?
I don’t belong here,

I don’t belong here…

What if we lived in a world without Tears?

Is that such a ridiculous question?

Well, if you watch this video and read the lyrics, you may be able to answer this question!!!

LYRICS:

If we lived in a world withought tears
How would bruises find
The face to lie upon
How would scars find skin
To etch themselves into
How would broken find the bones

If we lived in a world without tears
How would heartbeats
Know when to stop
How owuld blood know
Which body to flow outside of
How would bullets find the guns

If we lived in a wold without tears
How would misery know
Which back door to walk through
How would trouble know
Which mind to live inside of
How would sorrow find a home

If we lived in a world without tears
How would bruises find
The face to lie upon
How would scars find skin
To etch themselves into
How would broken find the bones

How would broken find the bones
How would broken find the bones
