Buried Alive In the Blues - Janis Joplin

Buried alive Person unknown Dying inside Half the way home Somewhere under a delvaux moon Childhoods end came too soon Came too soon Don't want to know when Don't wanna know why Don't wanna believe that life is just to die You were the one who sang lullabies I'm still hangign out to dry, out to cry Hey now, hey now Don't you cry It's just the dying of the light Time to say our goodbyes I'll look for you in that goodnight Is anybody here? I wanna go out, the way I came in My flame blowing out In the Summer wind Somewhere under a delvaux moon Childhoods end came too soon Came too soon Hey now, hey now Don't you cry It's just the dying of the light Time to say our goodbyes I'll look for you in that goodnight Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

You almost always pick the best times To drop the worst lines You almost made me cry again this time Another false alarm Red flashing lights Well, this time I'm not going to watch myself die I think I made it a game to play your game And let myself cry I buried myself alive on the inside So I could shut you out And let you go away for a long time I guess it's okay, I puked the day away I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way And if you want me back You're gonna have to ask I think the chain broke away And I felt it the day that I had my own time I took advantage of myself and felt fine But it was worth the night I caught an early flight, and I made it home I guess it's okay, I puked the day away I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way And if you want me back You're gonna have to ask Nicer than that Nicer than that With my foot on your neck I finally have you Right where I want you Right where I want you Right where I want you Right where I want you I guess it's okay, I puked the day away I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way (your own way) And if you want me back You're gonna have to ask Nicer than that (I guess it's okay, I puked the day away) Nicer than that (I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way) And if you want me back You're gonna have to ask Nicer than that Nicer Nicer

Tell me how you feel I feel like the grass is green And everything I do is unseen But I know that's just in my mind I know everything is just in my mind Do you really wanna to be famous? Do you really wanna be a superstar? Do you really wanna get dangerous? Do you even know where the groupies are? Bitches out here be shameless And I really wonder where they parents are Look around, everything changes It feels like I've been buried alive Everything happens for a reason People only in your life for seasons Word to Aunt Viv Death and taxes that's all we given You can make a life but can't make a livin' You can make it work but that still ain't driven Give a lot but that still ain't givin Livin' life like this ain't real though Every night like this I feel so Dead wrong, collision is head on My vision is dead and gone Perception of right and wrong I been here so very long Right here in this very song Look around everything changes Seem like everybody just strangers Don't go outside cause it's dangerous Why everybody wanna be famous I'm so OCD if they notice me I might jump out the grave so they know it's me Man everybody want this shit for free Hand out palm up when they get to me In my mind no I never let it get to me Everybody got a turn will it get to me V's up motherfucka that's victory Tell me why what I'm doing ain't shit to me, damn Buried alive, buried alive Will I survive? Buried alive I gotta know I gotta know It feels like i've been buried alive Buried alive Tell me how you feel I feel like the grass is green And everything I do is unseen But I know that's just in my mind I know everything is just in my mind Do you really wanna to be famous? Do you really wanna be a superstar? Do you really wanna get dangerous? Do you even know where the groupies are? Bitches out here be shameless And I really wonder where they parents are Look around, everything changes It feels like I've been buried alive Let it breathe I'm feelin' this villainous feelin inside of my mind Every time that I'm willing I feel like I'm killin' my dreams When that voice goes nah, nah, nah Listen up now Love it or hate it, never debate it, you can never degrade it While all these other motherfuckers probably thinking I made it My mind jaded no I never evade it I elevate it just to keep it innovative (innovative) God damn, bring it back now Blowin' up like Iraq now RattPack put me on the map now No we never back down Just take my time, I just take my time I know, Imma get it like this So everyone know that I did it like this Yeah, I know Imma take my time Battle the image inside of my mind I know, Imma keep going Tell me I can't but I'm already knowing I know, I'm gonna rise Even though I've been buried alive Buried alive, will I survive? I gotta know I gotta know It feels like I've been buried alive Buried alive Tell me how you feel I feel like the grass is green And everything I do is unseen But I know that's just in my mind I know everything is just in my mind Do you really wanna to be famous?

Well, I don't want to be caught In a tidal wave And everything's for naught Is what the old folks say Well, now I find I'm distraught I'm closer to my grave And now I'm gonna come short Another goddamn day When you throw my feelings on the fire I can't keep this down And I feel like I won't be afraid When I'm buried in the sand Well, now I found myself fraught And I am filled with rage Another bottle's been bought To help me waste away I think these chains are too taut They're cutting my ribcage And if I give this more thought I think I've gone astray When you throw my feelings on the fire I can't keep this down And I feel like I won't be afraid When I'm buried in the sand When I'm buried in the sand When I'm buried in the sand When I'm buried in the sand When you throw my feelings on the fire I can't keep this down And I feel like I won't be afraid When I'm buried in the sand Throw my feelings on the fire I can't keep this down And I feel like I won't be afraid When I'm buried in the sand

One day i'ma laugh about it all One day you won't remember me at all I want my feet buried in the sand (Take me to the sea) Im trynna find out who I am (Baby come with me) I don't think you understand (What you did to me) Im trynna count these rubber bands (With my fucking team) I want my feet buried in the sand (Take me to the sea) Im trynna find out who I am (Baby come with me) I don't think you understand (What you did to me) Im trynna count these rubber bands (With my fucking team) That's the way shit goes Im trynna count my money ho I wanna play a million shows Spend my nights out on the road And that's just I feel Stepping up to take the wheel Mental cuts will never heal Man I can't believe it's real One day i'ma laugh about it all One day you won't remember me at all One day i'ma laugh about it all One day you won't remember me at all (You won't remember me at all) I want my feet buried in the sand (Take me to the sea) Im trynna find out who I am (Baby come with me) I don't think you understand (What you did to me) Im trynna count these rubber bands (With my fucking team) I want my feet buried in the sand (Take me to the sea) Im trynna find out who I am (Baby come with me) I don't think you understand (What you did to me) Im trynna count these rubber bands (With my fucking team) One day i'ma laugh about it all One day you won't remember me at all You won't remember me at all That's the way shit goes Im trynna count my money ho I wanna play a million shows Spend my nights out on the road And that's just I feel Stepping up to take the wheel Mental cuts will never heal Man I can't believe it's real
