Will I?

So I lied and said that I'm okay
Cause there's the way you are
and the way I wish you were
And what you want and what you say you want
are both different answers
I was standing here waiting,
my hands and knees shaking
for the one I thought was you
And you gave it away like it was nothing at all
Tell me...


CHORUS:
Will I ever see you again, will I?
It is what it is
Will I ever see you again, will I?
I should just let it go...


I'm a mess but I can't tell you so
Tho' I broke my heart on the reef of your infidelity
I'm down hearing calling, my hands and knees crawling
for the one I thought was you
Cos you gave it away like it was nothing at all
Tell me


CHORUS:
Will I ever see you again, will I?
It is what it is
Will I ever see you again, will I?
I should just let it go


I'm down hearing calling,
my hands and knees crawling
Looking for the one that was you
Cos you gave her away like she was nothing at all
Tell me


CHORUS:
Will I ever see you again, will I?
It is what it is
Will I ever see you again, will I?
I should just let it go
Will I ever see you again, will I?
It is what it is
Will I ever see you again, will I?
I should just let it go




Idon'twantanythingfromyou


You only want me when you're high
You try to heal but you crucify
It's the same shit / different day
You say sorry like it's supposed to change everything
And everything’s okay
But everything you gave to me you went and gave away
to anybody else with a dick


CHORUS:
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you


Sorry baby but I can't join your party
And I liked you better the way you were
You're a sad little cliche, you say sorry
like it's supposed to change everything and make it go away
And everything you gave to me I want to give it back to you
on a stick


CHORUS:
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you


(I wonder how it got to be) You lied
You happy with your little freak show?
(I wonder how it got to be) You lied
Baby you were just so so
(I wonder how it got to be)
I don't hate you!
I don't hate you!
I don't hate you!


CHORUS:
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you




Jesus Saves


[Voice included in Jesus Saves is Jason Batchko]


You let me read your pretty poetry
And I fell for your trailer park majesty
And I, When I said I'd die for you (for you)
I didn't mean for you to write the eulogy
You betrayed yourself and me too


CHORUS:
 I know you lie when it's true
Jesus saves white trash, baby, like you
It's too late for you to undo
Jesus saves white trash, baby, like you


I should appreciate the irony
Cause I led us both to my Gethsemane
And I, I don't hate you I hate love (it's true)
I held you so close I couldn't see
While you had the grander view


I know sometimes it's true
(Jesus saves white trash, baby like you)
We make what we can't undo
(Jesus saves white trash, baby like you)


solo


CHORUS:
I know you lie when it's true
Jesus saves white trash, baby like you
It's too late for you to undo
Jesus saves white trash, baby like you


CHORUS:
I know sometimes it's true
(Jesus saves white trash, baby like you)
We make what we can't undo
(Jesus saves white trash, baby like you)




Alien Virus


Baby where were you? I waited for hours
Up in the sky was a strange light
You know comets are falling and UFO's are calling
Where were you last night?
You used to be beautiful, baby alright
I don't even recognize you anymore


CHORUS:
I think maybe some alien virus infected your heart


I'm not waving I'm drowning baby
Who's that one I see you with?
You've been out walking and monkeys are talking to a black monolith
I don't want to be in this skin, baby not tonite
I want to be in the one he's in (the one you want)


CHORUS:
I think maybe some alien virus infected your heart


You used to be all mine, baby all night
I don't even recognize you anymore


CHORUS: I think maybe some alien virus infected your heart
I think maybe some alien virus infected your heart




Angels Of The Disappeared


I send it out, a prayer tonite
To all the angels of the disappeared
May they sleep in your arms tonite
And may they know they're not forgotten here
And the angels of the disappeared
Are on a city corner or a downtown subway train
And the world is watching and waiting to say


CHORUS:
Welcome home to you
Welcome home to you


The highways run, the cities glare
Looking for God's fingerprints somewhere
And every night the alarm is set
So you can remember what you can't forget
And the angels of the disappeared
Watch a southern highway and a Midwestern trailer park
And a town is watching and waiting to say


CHORUS:
Welcome home to you
Welcome home to you
God knows dreams come true
Welcome home to you


We take the precious thing and we break it apart
there's no such thing as an unchangeable heart


And the angels of the disappeared
are walking hand in hand with the vanished ones tonite
And a heart is watching and waiting to say


CHORUS:
Welcome home to you
Welcome home to you
God knows dreams come true
Welcome home to you


And the angels of the disappeared
Oh they're busy tonite




Eden


Monday morning in the garden of Eden
Looked over and I saw your face
Never felt what you made me feel
Never felt so out so place
The sinner sleeps with the angel
I heard you breathe my name
Stumbling through the gates of freedom


CHORUS:
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
I can be saved
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day
Yeah baby
I can be healed
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day


I was being nobody going nowhere
Thru the kingdom of the blind and lame
Wouldn't give myself away, 'cause I
Never thought I'd touch your flame
You opened up my book of love
(I know it's true)
What was I so scared of
(I'm running)
For the gates of freedom


CHORUS:
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
I can be saved
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day
Yeah baby
I can be healed
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day


I've wanted so much in my life
Desired everyone I knew
I would not take it kicking and screaming
The only one I want is you


Never thought I'd hear me say
(I know its true)
Maybe love will save the day
I'm a prisoner at the gates of freedom


CHORUS:
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
I can be saved
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day
Yeah baby
I can be healed
In Eden (I'm at the gate)
It's the start of a new day


The only one I want is you




FOREVER

 
[available only on forthcoming limited edition CD]
[Rick Springfield 75%-Super Ron Music/Bill Wray 25%-Bill Wray Music]


I more than miss you.
I feel you inside every time I breathe
And when I kissed your mouth it made me feel strong
You were my life there was no one else
I knew you better than I know myself


CHORUS:
But I thought we had forever baby
I'd always be the one you needed
'Goodbye' came too fast and the precious moment passed
You were the only one.
The one who could have made it last forever.


You know that I miss you too
Though I spent my life trying to catch a dream
When I touched your face, I burned with a fire
Though our souls are worlds apart
You're living in my heart


CHORUS:
I thought we had forever baby
I'd always be the one you needed
'Goodbye' came too fast and the precious moment passed
You were the only one.
The one who could have made it last forever.


My heart beats to the memory of you
Love is the one thing that's true


CHORUS:
I thought we had forever baby
I'd aways be the one you needed
But someday this will end, and I'll hold you once again
You'll always be the one
Together we will make it last, forever
