Get It
I on the tube and what do I see A whole people cryin' "Don't blame me" They point crooked little fingers ar everybody else Spend all their feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of this, of that Your momma's too thin; daddy's too fat Get it Get it All this and cryin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get it You say you haven't been the since you had your little crash But you might better if I gave you some cash The I think about it, Old Billy was right kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight You don't want to work, you want to like a king But the big, bad world owe you a thing Get it Get it If you want to play, then you might as well split Get it, Get over it It's like going to confession every time I you speak You're the most of your losin' streak Some call it sick, but I it weak You drag it around like a and chain You wallow in the guilt; you in the pain You wave it a flag, you wear it like a crown Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody Complain the present and blame it on the past I'd like to find your inner and kick its little ass Get it Get it All this and moanin' and pitchin' a fit Get it, get over it Get it Get it gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit Get it, get over it

The From Yesterday
It wasn't reall sad the way said good-bye Or maybe it just so bad she couldn't cry He his things, walked out the door and drove away And she became the girl from He took a plane the sea To some foreign She stayed at and tried to understand How someone who had been so close be so far away And she became the girl from She doesn't know right She doesn't know what's She knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she doesn't count the That cried while he's away she knows deep in her heart That he'll be someday The light's on in the window; she's by the phone Talking to a memory that's never coming She dreams of his returning and the things he might say But she'll be the girl from yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl yesterday
To Be Still
It's just another day in As you to your bed You'd give anything to Those voices ringing in your You you could find happiness Just over green hill You thought you would be But you will- Learn to be We are like sheep a shepherd We know how to be alone So we 'round this desert And wind up the wrong gods home But the cries out for another And they keep that bell And one starry-eyed messiah a violent farewell- Learn to be to be still Now the flowers in your don't smell so sweet Maybe forgotten The lying at your feet There are so many In all these we send (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the is torn and shaken Even if heart is breakin' It's waiting for you to And you will- to be still Learn to be You just keep on on runnin'
Tequila
It's tequila sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said He was just a hand Workin' on the he planned to try The go by Ev'ry when the sun goes down Just another boy in town And she's out 'round She just another woman And I couldn't keep from on been so long Oh, and it's a hollow when It comes to dealin' friends It ends Take another of courage Wonder why the right words never You just get It's another sunrise,this old world looks the same, frame, mm...
Hotel
On a dark desert highway, cool in my hair Warm of colitas, rising up through the air Up in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to for the night she stood in the doorway; I heard the bell And I was to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this be Hell' she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There voices down the corridor, I thought I heard say... to the Hotel California Such a place Such a face Plenty of room at the Hotel Any time of year, you can find it Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the bends She got a lot of pretty, boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to So I up the Captain, 'Please bring me my He said,'We haven't had spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' And still voices are calling from far away, you up in the middle of the night Just to hear say... to the Hotel California Such a lovely Such a lovely livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your on the ceiling, The champagne on ice And she 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the chambers, They for the feast The stab it with steely knives, But they can't kill the beast thing I remember, I was Running for the I had to the passage back To the I was before 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can checkout any you like, but you can leave!
