The Girl From
It wasn't reall sad the way they good-bye Or it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He his things, walked out the door and drove away And she became the girl yesterday He a plane across the sea To some foreign She at home and tried to understand How someone who had been so close could be so far And she became the girl from She doesn't know what's She doesn't what's wrong She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so And she doesn't count the That she's cried while away Because she knows in her heart That be back someday The on in the window; she's waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's never coming She of his returning and the things that he might say But she'll always be the girl yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl from
Learn To Be
It's just day in paradise As you to your bed You'd give anything to Those voices in your head You thought you find happiness Just over that green You thought you would be But you will- Learn to be We are sheep without a shepherd We know how to be alone So we 'round this desert And up following the wrong gods home But the cries out for another And keep answering that bell And one more messiah Meets a violent to be still Learn to be Now the in your garden They don't smell so Maybe forgotten The heaven at your feet There are so contridictions In all these we send (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the world is torn and Even if your heart is It's for you to awaken And you will- to be still Learn to be You just keep on on runnin'
Tequila
It's another sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was just a hand Workin' on the he planned to try The go by Ev'ry night when the sun goes Just another boy in town And she's out runnin' She wasn't just woman And I couldn't keep comin' on It's been so Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' It down to dealin' friends It ends another shot of courage Wonder why the right words come You get numb It's tequila sunrise,this old world looks the same, frame, mm...

Some to remember, some dance to forget So I up the Captain, 'Please bring me my He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen nine' And still those voices are calling far away, Wake you up in the middle of the to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel a lovely place Such a face They it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your on the ceiling, The champagne on ice And she said 'We are all just here, of our own device' And in the chambers, They gathered for the The stab it with their knives, But they just kill the beast Last I remember, I was for the door I had to find the back To the place I was 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can checkout any you like, but you can leave!
