American Pie lyrics

From American Pie Soundtrack

You remind of a man.
(What man?)
Oh, the man with the power.
(What power?)
Oh, the power of voodoo
(Who do?)
Oh, you do, you do
(Do what?)

You remind of a man.
(What man?)
Yeah, the man with the power.
(What power?)
Yeah, the power of voodoo
(Who do?)
Yeah, you do, you do
(Do what?)

Uh, we could take 'em out of this rex,

Midnight at the oasis
Sing your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces romance in our heads

Heaven holding a half moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune real soon
Kick up a little dust

Come on cactus is our friend
He'll show us the way
Come on 'till the evening ends
'till the evening ends

You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak

I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden
She lives for me, says she lives for me
Ovation, her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile, like a drug for you
Do ever what you wanna do, coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse

If you were the ocean and I was a sailboat
Would I find the gumption to let myself sail
For lovin' and leavin', you're gone for a season
Is not what I'm looking for

If you were the laughter I'd hear ever after
The sound of your voice would make me sing
For lovin' and leavin', you're gone for a season
Is not what I'm looking for

I never thought that you would come

I've been out on my own
I've been getting what's mine
I watch you grab what you can like crazy
Because your all out of time
Girl your living a dream
But You know it too well
Cause there's no one who
And you're living in Hell
Well they said you been good
And they said you been bad
I like to laugh
You make me cry when you're sad
I live in a dream
But you're living in hell

As you walk up those steps
And garner your award
Try not to forget about me
'Cause I was there when you had no one else to hold
You used to look just like a saint
Stumblin' toward
Yours and God's very own quarantine
You used to never think you'd ever grow old

Chorus
How the hell you ever made it this far
Is a testament of who you are
Who you'll be
Followin' a star

I had visions, I was in them
I was looking into the mirror
To see a little bit clearer
Rottenness and evil in me

Fingertips have memories
Mine can't forget the curves of your body
And when I feel a bit naughty
I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
(but no one ever does)

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell

Been around the world and found

Oh, make me over
I'm all I want to be
A walking study
In demonology

Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, so glad you could make it now

Oh, look at my face
My name is might have been
My name is never was
My name's forgotten

Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up in my makeup

There used to be a time
When you're the only one
That you could see
You built a wall to keep you free
You saw it all so perfectly
You divided everything
You had into a thousand parts or names
It made it easier to place the blame
But it never really was the same
But you forgot the reason why
You had to be alone to breathe
Something from your history
Or have you lost your memory?

Super TransAtlantic, I am sick and I am down
Stupefied and tragic, I'm a clown
Electric Omni-presence, I am forced beneath the ground
Exotic, bleeding, toxic, while I drown

Some might say I'm beautiful
Some might say I'm not

Super Down
I'm feeling superdown

Shaking like a spastic and I can't control my sound
Feeling kinda weak, I'm spinning round

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Between an overload of information
And a striving for a pure dedication I
Find myself looking for the exit si-i-ign
See your pretty face in the sunshine
In the morning after staying up all night I
Want to wake you just to hear you tell me
it's alri-i-ight
And all I want to be is too much sometimes
for me

Good morning baby I hope I'm gonna make it
through another day

you put yourself in stupid places

yes i think you know it's true

situations where it's easy to look down on you

i think you like to be the victim

i think you like to be in pain

i think you make yourself a victim

almost every single day

you do what you do

you say what you say

you try to be everything to everyone

you know all the right people

you play all the right games

It's good to see you here again

thought you almost died

remember when we were listening

you barely had to try

got me falling from the sky

please tell me lie after lie

now I know they're gonna take my glory

from the ones I left behind

and I know they're gonna say they're sorry

but I'll never change my mind

everybody's gonna find me out

I'm going down this time

i can't take this anymore

and i'm almost pretty sure

i've been here before

i can't take this any longer

i won't heal until i'm stronger

strong enough to not be afraid

of what anybody thinks

of what anybody says

about the way

about the way i am

so i'll wait until the day

when those feelings fade away

then i'll make my break

i can't take this anymore

and i'm almost pretty sure

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)

God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson

Heaven holds a place for those who pray

(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files

We'd like to help you learn to help yourself

Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes

He pauses shaving and he tells himself that he is the bomb

She has her curlers set, her credit cards are paying the funds

He's not that old, I've been told

A strong sexual goal

She goes out ever day

She goes every way...oh yeah!

And they don't even care at all

She's open waiting for more

And I know he's only looking to score

And it's way too unhealthy

Often they've typically

I wanna new girl,

the kind everybody wants

The kind that shout it out

and then we laugh it off

I'll be a terrorist if she will be a looter

I am the team invading on a motor scooter and

We put aside all what people say,

people say to

And then she gets in bed with you

I wanna new girl who can show me how to have

a good time

And get closer to my life's design,

It's been one week since you looked at me

cocked your head to the side and said I'm angry.

Five days since you laughed at me

saying get that together come back and see me.

Three days since the living room

I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you

Yesterday you'd forgiven me

but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink

Snow is falling from the sky - in the middle of July

Sun was shining in my eyes again last night

Alarm goes off without a sound - the silence is so loud

Something isn't right

Footsteps echo down the hall - no one's there at all

Dial your number but your voice says "I'm not home"

Everything is inside out - I don't know what it's about

Chorus

It keeps getting stranger by the day

Hello to your mother , your brother , significant other

I am the summertime

and I'm here to free your mind

Kick off your shoes the blues and use anything but your mind

'cause this is the summertime

and it's here to free your mind

How many other people can you save today

don't you think it's high time that you sail away

leave today , don't fall behind

Don't stray, don't ever go away

I should be much too smart for this

You know it gets the better of me

Sometimes, when you and I collide

I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time

Don't let me drown, let me down

I say it's all because of you

And here I go, losing my control

I'm practicing your name so I can say it to your face

It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye

shock!

i got a new life

you would hardly recognize me

i'm so glad

how can a person like me care for you

why do i bother

when you're not the one for me

is enough enough

i saw the sign and it opened up my eyes

i saw the sign

life is demanding without understanding

i saw the sign and it opened up my eyes

i saw the sign

no one's gonna drag you up

Once there was this girl I knew

She had all she could want

But her unhappiness

Preceded what she bought

She said, "Everyone around here

Is wasting my time"

All of her possessions

Couldn't make her feel fine

She wants everyone to sit around

And talk about her life

Don't ask her how she feels

'Cos that would be a lie

[Chorus:]

Don't tell me 'cos you know

I know it hurts

Love is tragic

Love is bold

You will always do what you are told

Love is hard

Love is strong

You will never say that you were wrong

I dont know when I got bitter

Love is sure better when it's gone

Because you wanted more

More than I could give

More than I could handle

And a life that I can't live

You wanted more

More than I could bare

More than I could offer
