West lyrics

Come out west and see
The best that it could be
I know you won’t stay permanently
But come out west and see

I climb up on a rock
And stretch out in the sun
And close my eyes and let
My imagination run

And tracing your initials
In the shiny sand
I’m counting up the days
‘Til I see you again

Who knows what the future holds
Or where the cards may fall

I would rather suffer in sweet silent solitude
Deathly defiant from drowning out
Filthy sounds stumbling ugly and crude
Between the lips of your beautiful mouth

Deep down within me words move in phrases
Frozen and still ‘til they decide
To melt and drip over the pagers
Until that moment they live inside

My words enjoy the feel of the paper
Better than mingling with your consonants

Yeah...mmhhmmm
Chorus:
You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You told me you loved me
You said you wanna be with me
You looked right into my eyes
Said I’m not like the other guys
You looked right into my eyes
Said I’m not like the other guys

I know what I think I saw
And what I thought I’d seen
And what was coming and what was going
And everything in between

I shudder to think
What it would mean
If the president wore pink
Or if a prostitute was queen
What would happen then
How would the world change
If thick became thin
And the world was rearranged
If the rains brought down the moon
And daylight was feared
And the sun rose too soon
And then just disappeared
If dogs became kings
And the Pope chewed gum
And hobos had wings

He can't rescue you
can't pull the demons from your head
can't lull you from your sleepy bed
He can't rescue you

He can't protect you
from the powers that will be
the hours of insanity
He can't protect you

He can't change you
change the summers of your beauty
the thunderstorms within your purity
He can't change you

He can't carry you
past the door of every danger

Where - where is my love
Where - where is my love

is my love in Helena
eating sweet potato pies
sure as hell won't be tellin ya
even as much as a little white lie

is my love in Tupelo
whisperin down the blues
knowing things he shouldn't know
and givin away what he cant use

Where - where is my love
Where - where is my love
--
Where - where is my love
Where - where is my love

Come On

Dude I'm so over you
You don't even have a clue
All you did was make me blue
You didn't even make me, come on!

You're so self-involved
You're in some kind of fog
You're hung up on your hog
You didn't even make me, come on!

You think you're in hot demand
But you don't know where to put your hand
Let me tell you where you stand
You didn't even make me, come on!

I can't feel my love anymore
I can't feel my love anymore
mystery and the splendor
don’t thrill me like before
I can't feel my love anymore

I don’t want to talk to anyone
I don’t want to talk to anyone
all the words that used to work
are melted in the sun
and I don’t want to talk to anyone

Faces look familiar,
but they don’t have names
towns I used to live in

Unlock my love
and set me free
come fill me up
with ecstasy

surround my heartbeat
with your fingertips
unbound my feet
untie my wrists

come in to my world
of loneliness
and wickedness
and bitterness
Unlock my love

Unsuffer me
Take away the pain
Unbruise unbloddy
Wash away the stain
Anoint my head
With your sweet kiss
My joy is dead
I long for bliss

Some think a fancy funeral
will be worth every cent
for every dime and nickel
is money better spent
better spent on groceries
covering the bills
instead of little luxuries
unnecessary frills
lovely yellow daffodils
and lacey filigree's
pretty little angels
for everyone to see
lilly of the valley
long black limousenes
three or four months salary
just to pay for all those things

I'm learning how to live
without you in my life.

I'm learning how to live
without you in my life.

I'll take the best of what you had to give.
I'll make the most of what you left me with.
I'm learning how to live.

They say the best is still yet to come
but the taste of you is still on my tongue.
I can't forget and I won't even try
to erase your image
and the way you made me cry.

I love you, Mama you sweet
I love you, Mama you sweet
I love you, Mama you sweet
I love you, Mama you sweet
I love you, Mama you sweet

With an ocean in my spirit
And cracks on my lips
And scars in my heart
And this burden on my hips

Ocean becomes heavy and tries
To push its way out
Through these ancient eyes
And the memories in my mouth

Ocean becomes tears
That ebb and flow

Are you alright?
All of the sudden you went away,
Are you alright?
I hope you come back around some day,
Are you alright?
I haven't seen you in a real long time,
Are you alright?
Could you give me some time aside?
Are you alright?
I looked around me and you were gone,
Are you alright?
I feel like there must be something wrong,
Are you alright?
Cause it seemed like you disappered,
