Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry *

* City of Angels by Red Hot Chili Peppers
“Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul.” ~Plato
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry *
Now all of these voices
And all of these noises
With all their illusions of choices
They've come to my door
With one dozen roses
The imitation of good faith
Is how you stumble upon hate
It may have been the first of mistakes
When we held on too loosely
Then opened the gates*
So I'm sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain*
Let me fall--
Let me climb
There’s a moment when fear
And dreams must collide
Someone I am
Is waiting for courage
The one I want
The one I will become
Will catch me
So let me fall
If I must fall
I won’t heed your warnings
I won’t hear them*
And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water
She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she's felt
She wants to feel the healing hands
Of someone who understands*
It's better that it hurts
It's better that it feels this way to me
I can't be too comfortable
Cause loving you is not my destiny*
Loco, por esos ojos que me dicen que me aman,
cuando amanecen encimita de mi almohada,
tras esas noches de locura que me das
cuando te sueño*
~*~
Crazy, about those eyes that tell me they love me,
as they awaken on my pillow
after the crazy nights that you give me
when I dream you
I'm looking at the world through these
Candy colored glasses that I'm wearing
Staring, noticing that everything is
Just the way I'd like for it to be
So please knock before you walk into my dream*
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king*
See I feel no pleasure
and I feel no pain
so what else can I do?
I can't stop killing you.*
Oh lonely girl don't you loose your dreams--
in someone else's cries
Lonely girl don't you see your life
in someone else's eyes
Lonely world don't you find your faith
in someone else's lies
Lonely world don't you live your life
through someone else's eyes
Oh dream on
Dream on dreamers
Keep on, dream on*
It's not always rainbows and butterflies--
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls*
