Lemon Dream Boy

People are puppets held together with string

But here was a man mourning tomorrow

He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow

How could it end like this?

Feels like I'm losing my mind

There's a sting in the way you kissed me

Feels like a dream of me all of the time, baby

He could not break surface tension

He looked in the wrong place for redemption

But you've got strength, you've got soul

You're not afraid, you're not a drone

And I try

A final crusade

We are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind

This world is changing

Millenium kids that all wanna die

But I'm still the same

I know I'm no sweet prince of love

Those times that we got drunk

It happens all the time, it happens all the time

You can't even see how much you're mine

Why can't I say it then?

I want you all the time

The world is cold

But it's beautiful

I wish you were here now

I miss you so

So bitter, bitter, bitter, yellow

Settle, settle, got to settle, down, okay

Listen, listen, listen, yellow

It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him

If you leave me then I'll be afraid of everything

I know they're thinking

Don't look at me with those eyes

I can't decide

So I figured I might as well let him be

Turn back the time that drew him

There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him

He couldn't be saved

So I got myself a citrus friend

And they call him Lemon Boy

Come a little bit closer.

Hear what I have to say.

Come away with me,

and I will write you a song.

If the sky we look upon should crumble and fall,

I know we’ll meet again some sunny day.

If you see my reflection in a snow-covered hill,

I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom.

And if you’re lost,

you can look,

and you will find me.

We can be heroes

and float down Grand Street and daylight

and we’ll have Halloween on Christmas

and we’ll keep on fighting till the end.

We’re fated to pretend.

God only knows what I’d be without you.

You—soft and only.

You—lost and lonely.

How wonderful life is while you’re in the world.

I’m still learning to love,

just starting to crawl;

we’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,

and you’re my wonderwall.

A Disney Mix

I've been staring at the edge of the water

Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me?

If there's so much I must be

Can I still just be me,

The way I am?

Just around the river bend

The bees are buzzin' in the tree

The world for once in perfect harmony

Wish I could be

Part of that world

And at last I see the light

Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance

When I’m way up here it’s crystal clear,

Love will find a way.

Animal

Here we go again

I kinda want to more than friends

So take it easy on me

I'm afraid you're never satisfied.

Celebrating Persistence and Survival

Each day I live I want to be a day to give the best of me. I've lived to be the very best. I want it all, no time for less. It's my life. It's now or never! I ain't gonna live forever! I broke my heart, for every gain. To taste the sweet, I face the pain. I rise and fall, yet through it all... My heart is like an open highway. Like Frankie said I did it my way. I want one moment in time When I'm more than I thought I could be. When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the answers are all up to me, Give me one moment in time When I'm racing with destiny. 'Cause I'm a conqueror And I won't accept defeat! Try telling me no... One thing about me Is I'm a conqueror. I am a conqueror! And I'll rise up, I'll rise like the day. I'll rise up! I'll rise unafraid! I'll rise up... And I'll do it a thousand times again...

'Cause I'm a conqueror...
