It was the third of September That day I'll always remember, yes I will 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died I never had a chance to see him Never heard nothin' but bad things about him Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Mama looked up and said son Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone Where the hell are you daddy, that's what I'm sayin' Down on my knees and tears and I'm prayin' Wishing and hoping my dreams could come true So I could feel like the other kids do A young child but not complete as a whole Before I was born you up and strolled Mama was there but you was up in the wind You never even knew my name and then You never wrote, called, let alone came by As a youth it was hard to wonder why But now I'm older and I don't dwell on self pity Thinking about the life you didn't give me I remember when I used to tell lies When people would ask I'd just fantasize Thinking of stories to make you look good But the real truth was you was never no good People would say I looked just like you But rest assured I don't act like you I'm more than that, my mama raised me better And you can best believe I'm much more together So belive that Mama is it true what they say That papa never worked a day in his life? And mama there's some bad talk goin' round town That papa had three out-side children And another wife, and that ain't right Heard some talk about papa Doin' some store-front prechin' Talking about saving souls and all the time leaching Dealin' in dirt and stealing in the name of the Lord Mama looked up and said son Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone It's been said you gave me something you never had But that's not always true and it's sad To find myself missing you when I did But who knows the reasons why you did what you did I can't help but wonder why You lived your life as a big fat lie You act like you had no responsibilities 'Cause if you did it's a bet that you wouldn't be Stealin' beggin' hustlin' and schemin' You could'a got a job But did you know the meaning of work I'm talking about an honest day's pay But you was too lazy to be that way Always trying to take the easy route That's what they tell me, so I don't doubt It for a moment, not for a sec Because you lacked all your self respect But it's too late for you that is Tomorrow I'll be going on about my biz And so it's time to put the past behind Erase the anger and clear my mind I want to forget the little bit I know And make sure that I never sink so low 'Cause I want my kids to grow up and know That I was always there because I loved them so And that's the least thing that I can do But that's a lot more than I got from you I heard papa call himself a jack of all trades Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave? Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal To pay his bills Hey mama, folks say papa wasn't much on thinkin' Spent most of his time chasing women and drinkin' Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone

She took me in the bedroom To show me her computer She asked me if I liked it I told her she was cuter She wasn't that great But it was getting kind of late She talked about her father Said he never really liked her She said that she'd been married To a schizophrenic biker I thought I'd say goodbye But then I saw her start to cry We danced by the light of her video screen She looked me in the eyes and said "Why me?" On any given night anything can happen When the underdog is hungry the favorite might fall With all of the people yelling and clapping Anything can happen, anything at all She drove a baby blue Ferrari She was all silk and diamonds Living at the top, no need for social climbing I asked her for a ride She said "Right here by my side" We went to her place overlooking the bay She said "There's just one bed Would that be okay?" On any given night anything can happen When the underdog is hungry the favorite might fall With all of the people yelling and clapping Anything can happen, anything at all Successful romance comes when you leave it up to chance There's nothing you can do When the fire burns low and your heart turns cold It comes to you out of the blue On any given night anything can happen When the underdog is hungry the favorite might fall With all of the people yelling and clapping Anything can happen, anything at all

Wir beide wollten mehr und schliefen immer Hand in Hand Das Licht, das für uns schien, war plötzlich einfach ausgebrannt Was bin ich dir noch wert? Seit Wochen hör ich nichts von dir Ich gehe auf und ab, was lief verkehrt? Tausend Fragen, tausend Zweifel Und ein tiefer Stich ins Herz Was, bitte was? Bitte was? Sag mir, was hab ich falsch gemacht? Hab tausendmal nachgedacht, doch kann's mir nicht erklär'n Was, bitte was? Bitte, was hast du dir nur dabei gedacht? Du warst meine Leidenschaft, mein aller hellster Stern Wir beide war'n am Strand und schrieben Träume in den Sand Du nahmst mich in den Arm und hieltst mich unter Sternen warm Wir schwammen nachts im Meer und liebten bis zum Morgengrau'n Das Glück war uns so nah und so vertraut Und jetzt quäl'n mich diese Fragen Such die Antwort für mein Herz Was, bitte was? Bitte was? Sag mir, was hab ich falsch gemacht? Hab tausendmal nachgedacht, doch kann's mir nicht erklär'n Was, bitte was? Bitte, was hast du dir nur dabei gedacht? Du warst meine Leidenschaft, mein aller hellster Stern Ich schau den Träumen hinterher Bin ich denn gar nichts für dich wert? Was, bitte was? Bitte was? Sag mir, was hab ich falsch gemacht? Hab tausendmal nachgedacht, doch kann's mir nicht erklär'n Was, bitte was? Bitte, was hast du dir nur dabei gedacht? Du warst meine Leidenschaft, mein aller hellster Stern Was, bitte was? Bitte was? Sag mir, was hab ich falsch gemacht?

I follow the nocturne Observe in silence What does that make of me? Maybe I just want to follow the trail? And find something from the dark? Those who walk during the day Cannot understand the yearning From the light of the stars you can gain Something that will kill the thirst But just for a second Smoke will cover Those rays of light And you just have to Wander on In the haze of dawn The silhouettes are cast To the horizon A line drawn to the water That breaks once you throw The first stone You can see it in the clouds If you want Or if you can bend the time In ways that the end Becomes the beginning And the path Is just revealing itself In pitch black you need no eyes Because you can't see a thing Smoke will cover Those rays of light And you just have to Wander on In the haze of dawn The silhouettes are cast To the horizon A line drawn to the water That breaks once you throw The first stone You can see it in the clouds If you want to Or if you can bend the time In ways that the end Becomes the beginning And the path Is just revealing itself

Long before your rusted chains Busted walls and barbed wire cage Tried to hold me down Time was just a fist of change Tossed in the water just incase You ever came around I could lose myself I could curse like hell But I've lost the will to even try If you ever doubt listen to the sound No lies No, no, no This is my last goodbye Pardon me if I appear To see beyond the now and here To try and save myself I'm not the kind of them to blame I'm not the kind to pin the blame... But I can take more of the same But I can't take more of the same... Livin' on your shelf I could lose myself I could curse like hell But I've lost the will to even try If you ever doubt listen to the sound No lies No, no, no This is my last goodbye Door closes Another one opens I feel the cold wind blowing Over me Long gone But not forgotten I might be lost I might be finally free I'm finally free Long before your rusted chains Busted walls and barbed wire cage Tried to hold me down Time was just a fist of change Tossed in the water just incase You ever came around I could lose myself I could curse like hell But I've lose the will to even try If you ever doubt Listen to the sound No lies No, no, no This is my last goodbye This is my last goodbye Yes, it is Yes, it is

Jump in The water's fine Five words Can change a life See you clear when my eyes are closed High dive deep way down below Don't stop, don't think, just go-ooh-whoa-hoo-ooh And I'll be the river You'll be the rain You'll be the rumble I'll be the train I'll be the sound You'll be the sight You'll be the clock strike I'll be the midnight I said oh-ooh-whoa-hoo-ooh Fall into me Yeah, know-ooh-whoa-hoo-ooh It's only gravity Cold steel In the dark Names carved In a crooked heart Oh hold steady, get the letters right Wind moves shadows Hear a night bird cry So much I never know-ooh-whoa-hoo-ooh And I'll be the moth You'll be the flame You'll be the lock I'll be the chain I'll be the dice You'll be the roll You'll be the savior I'll be the soul-ooh-oh-ooh-oul I said oh-ooh-whoa-hoo-ooh Fall into me I said know-ooh-whoa-hoo-ooh It's only gravity And I was the river You were the rain You were the rumble I was the train I was the sound You were the sight You were the clock strike I was the midnight Oh-ooh-whoa-hoo-ooh Fall into me Oh-ooh-whoa-hoo-ooh It's only gravity Oh-ooh-whoa-hoo-ooh Fall into me Oh-ooh-whoa-hoo-ooh It's only gravity Jump in The water's fine

I can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin Don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to Oh no... Come on STOP Now, when I talk to God I think he'll understand He said stick by me and I'll be your guiding hand Don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to That you want me to I said oh well Well, well, well Oh oh yeah
