CARNIVAL
(Natalie
Merchant)
I've walked these streets
a virtual stage
it seemed to me
make up on their faces
actors took their
places next to me
I've walked these streets
in a carnival
of sights to see
all the cheap thrill seekers
the vendors and the dealers
they crowded around me
Have I been blind
have I been lost
inside my self and
my own mind
hypnotized
mesmerized
by what my eyes have seen?
I've walked these streets
in a spectacle of wealth
and poverty
in the diamond markets
the scarlet welcome carpet
that they just rolled out
for me
I've walked these streets
in the mad house asylum
they can be
where a wild eyed misfit
prophet
on a traffic island stopped
and he raved of saving me
Have I been blind...
Have I been wrong
have I been wise
to shut my eyes
and play along
hypnotized
paralyzed
by what my eyes have found
by what my eyes have seen
what they have seen?
Have I been blind
have I been lost
inside my self and
my own mind
hypnotized
mesmerized
by what my eyes have found
in that great street carnival
in that carnival? |

RAIN
(The
Corrs)
Going crazy in the middle
of the night
Slipping, sliding into heavenly
bliss
Fallen angel spinning from
the light
Slipping sliding into heavenly
lace
But it's all. It's alright
now
Cos we're living for this
night for so long now
Yes it's all. It's alright.
Chorus:
We are living on hope, we
are living on life
Depending on truth until
the day we die
We are living on hope, we
are living on life
Depending on truth until
the day we die.
Lost and lazy, floating through
the dawn
And twisting, turning,
in a hazy mist Guardian
angel of silver and ice
Sweeping, sinking in a stream
of light
But it's all, it's alright
now
Cos we're living for this
night for so long now
Yes it's all. It's alright.
Chorus.
But it's all, it's alright
now
Cos we're living for this
night for so long now
Yes it's all. It's alright.
Repeat.
Chorus. |
BITCH
(Meredith
Brooks)
I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like
maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved
to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd
be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
Chorus:
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your
dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want
it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger
man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you
nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
Chorus
Just when you think, you
got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do
what you do
And don't try to save me
Chorus
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you
suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want
it any other way. |
