Diamonds on the Inside
Album - 5 marzo 2003 - Debaser id 102503

I can change the world
with my own two hands
make a better place
with my own two hands
make a kinder place
with my own two hands
with my own, with my own two hands
with my own, with my own two hands

I can make peace on earth
with my own two hands
And i can clean up the earth
With my own two hands
And I can reach out to you
With my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands

Im gonna make it a brighter place
Gonna make it a safer place
Gonna help the human race
with my own, with my own two hands

I can hold you
In my own two hands
And i can comfort you
With my own to hands
Youve got to use
Use your own to hands

Im gonna make it a brighter place
Im gonna make it a safer place
Gonna help the human race
OH make it a brighter place
I can hold you
I can comfort you
But you got to, got to, got to, go to, got to
use, use your own, oh use your own lord

You're A Prison
I can't escape
You're a decision
I never make
heard me laughing
you heard me weep and moan

(chorus)
When its good
its all so good
when its gone
its gone

they say time will
kill the pain
i say pain is going kill my time
lord wont u save me
or leave me alone

(chorus)

i hang your picture
above my mind
dont do anything
you cant deny
i could never
be your pawn

(chorus)

some drink to remember
some to forget
some for satisfaction
some to regret
i hope a brighter
day to u ive shown

(chorus)

I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar.

She couldnt spend one day long
But she couldnt be satisfied

When you have everything,
You have everything to lose.
She made herself
A bed of nails
And shes plannin' on puttin' it to use.

Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world,so shines the good deed
Make sure the fortune, that you seek
Is the fortune that you need.

So tell me why,the first to ask,is the last to give,everytime
What you say and do not mean
Follow too close behind

Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

Like a soldier standing long under fire
Any change comes as a relief.
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
For she is just a generous thief.

But she had diamonds on the inside
Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds

I need to sleep but I'm too tired
I need to calm down but I'm too wired
When the sun comes up I miss the moon
Cause I know tomorrow is gonna come too soon
She only wants to be wanted
But time crumbles blue roses to dust
Now I long to feel the touch from your lust

Scars on your back tell where you've been
But I'll roll like the ocean if you'll blow like the wind
Sweet Texas angel what have your blue eyes seen
I'll be your country gentleman
If you will be my Mason Dixon Queen
Queen

She only wants to be wanted
But time crumbles blue roses to dust
Now I long to feel the touch from your lust

So much sweeter than all the rest
You're what lies between pain and death
Sinners and saints call you by name
If you're gonna take the praise
You're gonna have to learn to take the blame

She only wants to be wanted
But time crumbles blue roses to dust
Now I long to feel the touch from your

If I knew,
being here with you today
would mean being alone tomorrow.
I would gladly trade
all of my tomorrows away
for a moment with you.

Brown Eyed Blues
You can find yourself another fool.

Can you look
into my eyes
or has your heart gone blind?
Can you look
into your own
and find the safe place to hide?

Brown Eyed Blue
you can find yourself another fool.

Why be with a stranger
when you could be
with your friend?
If youre ever lonely
you know I'm lonely too
and I'll stay lonely
Until, I'm again with you

Brown Eyed Blues
You can find yourself another fool

When it's on the one
You know the funk's begun
When you are down and out
There is no doubt
You need the funk
Just bring the funk
Bring the funk
Bring the funk

Now what's the problem
Everybody's got them
Just get the hole
Out of your soul
And bring the funk
Bring me the funk
Bring the funk

If you got a glass closet
Don't you throw no bones
There's only getting
Until the getting's gone
So pass me the funk
(pass the funk)
Got to have my funk
(got to have my funk)
Oh- I need my funk
(need my funk)
Got to have my funk
(got to have my funk)
Some are jiving
Some are shuck
Some are just
Down on their luck
They just need the funk
(need the funk)
They got to have the funk
(got to have the funk)
Just bring 'em some funk
(bring the funk)
Just bring the funk
(just bring the funk)
Well, well
Bring it (repeat...)

Well stay black
(stay black)
Stay white
Stay brown get on down
Just bring the funk
Got to bring the funk
Bring the funk

Need it - I need it (repeat...)
Yeah

Well it's got to be solid
That's what you call it
Funk me up
Funk me down
Funk me sideways
Funk me all ways
Bring the funk
Got to bring the funk
Bring the funk

Oh- some things money can't fix
(like what?)
Some things only money will do the trick
It's not the end of the world
But I can see it from here
So bring - bring - bring - bring
Bring me the funk
(bring the funk)
Just bring the funk
(just bring me the funk)
Oh- bring the funk
(bring the funk)
(just bring me the funk)

What started as a whisper
Slowly turned into a scream
Searching for an answer
Where the question is unseen
I don't know where you came from
And I don't know where you've gone
Old friends become old strangers
Between the darkness and the dawn
Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place within
To live my life without you

I still hear you saying
All of life is a chance
And is sweetest
When at a glance
But I live a hundred
Lifetimes in a day
But I die a little
In every breath that I take

Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place within
To live my life without you

I listen to a whisper
Slowly drift away
Silence is the loudest
Parting word you never say
I put your world
Into my veins
Now a voiceless sympathy
Is all that remains

Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place within
To live my life without you

i killed a snake with a bible
i was living a johnny cash song
i'm afraid for this i may be liable
so its best i be moving - moving along

just a temporary remedy
running through my
running through my veins

summer lasted through november
funny when its gone you miss cold
words can be spoken for a lifetime
we can never hear until we're told

just a temporary remedy
running through my
running through my veins

they tell me nothing is perfect
then tell me why is it a word
yesterday's news is tomorrow's blues
now they're perfectly blurred

just a temporary remedy
running through
running through my veins
just a temporary remedy
running through
running through my veins

oh- once you know you can never
you can never turn back
oh- but i understand
'cause we all fear what we lack
being with you
makes me tired as hell
tired as hell

and it's so high so low
oh- so high so low

now if i was strong
and you were male
you'd be dead
and i would be in jail
being with you
makes me tired as hell
tired as hell

now it's so high so low
oh now it's so high so low

don't go making promises
you know you won't keep
weddings turn to funerals
both with songs that make you weep
being with you
makes me tired as hell

and it's so high so low
oh now it's so high so low
now it's so high so low
so high so low

Corcovado parted the sky
And through the darkness
On us He shined
Crucified in stone
Still his blood is my own
Glory behold all my eyes have seen

I am blessed to be a witness

Some have flown away
And can't be with us here today
Like the hills of my home
Some have crumbled and are now gone
Gather around for today won't come again

I am blessed to be a witness

So much sorrow and pain
Still I will not live in vain
Like good questions never asked
Is wisdom wasted on the past
Only by the grace of God go I

I am blessed to be a witness

I know you may not want to see me
On your way down from the clouds
Would you hear me if I told you
That my heart is with you now

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Did you find what you were after?
The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees
But if the sun sets you free, sets you free
You'll be free indeed, Indeed

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Every time I hear you laughing, I hear you laughing
It makes me cry
Like the story of life, of your life
Is hello, goodbye

Shes only happy in the sun
Shes only happy in the sun
