These are just
a few of my favorite artists! They all have made great advances in female
performers.
Listen as the wind blows from across
the great divide.
Voices trapped in yearning memories
trapped in time
the night is my companion and solitude
my guide
would I spend forever here and
not be satisfied.
And I would be the one to hold you
down kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away, and
after
I'd wipe away the tears just close
your eyes dear.
Through this would I've stumbled
so many
times before betrayed trying to
find an honest word to find the truth enslaved,
oh you speak to me in riddles and
you speak to me in rhyme
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive
and I would be the one to hold you
down kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear.
Into this night I wander it's morning
that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread on into
the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied.
And I would be the one to hold you
down
kiss you so hard I'll take your
breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes...
Under a blackened sky far
beyond the glaring streetlights
sleeping on empty dreams the vultures
lie in wait.
You lay down beside me then you
were with me every waking hour so close I could feel your breath.
When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields the
new born hope unjaded by their years.
Pressed up against the glass I
found myself wanting sympathy
but to be consumed again oh I know
would be the death of me
and there is a love that's inherently
given a kind of blindness
offered to deceive and in that
light of forbidden joy oh I know I won't receive it,
When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields the
newborn hope unjaded by their years
you know if I leave you now it doesn't
mean I love you any less
it's just the state I'm in I can't
be good to anyone else like this.
When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields the
newborn hope unjaded by their years...
Plenty I looked into your eyes they
old me plenty I already knew,
you never felt a thing so soon
forgotten all that you do is more than words
I tried to tell you the more I
tried I failed
I would not let myself believe
that you might stray and I would stand by you no matter what they say.
I thought I'd be with you until
my dying day.
I used to think my life was often
empty a lonely space to fill
you hurt me more than I ever could
have imagined
you made my world stand still and
in that stillness there was a freedom
I never felt before. I would not
let myself believe that you might stay
and I would stand by you no matter
what they'd say.
I thought I'd be with you until
my dying day,
until my dying day.
Hey your glass is empty
it's a hell of a long way to home,
why don't you let me take you
it's no good to go alone.
I never would have opened up
but you seemed so real to me,
after all the bullshit I've heard
it's refreshing not to see.
I don't have to pretend, she doesn't
expect it from me
so don't tell me I haven't been
good to you,
don't tell me I haven't been there
for you,
just tell me why nothing is good
enough.
Hey little girl would you like some
candy
your momma said that it's ok.
The door is open come on outside
no I can't come out today,
it's not the wind that cracked
your shoulder and threw you to the ground,
who's there that makes you so afraid
you've shaken to the bone.
You know I don't understand you
deserve so much more than this.
So don't tell me why he's never
been good to you,
don't tell me why he's never been
there
for you and I'll tell you that
why is simply not good enough.
So just let me try and I will be
good to you
just let me try and I will be there
for you.
I'll show you why you're so much
more than good enough.
Mary walks down to the water's edge,
and there she hangs her had to
find herself faded a shadow of what she once was.
She says "How long have I been
sleeping and why do I feel so old?
Why do I feel so cold. My heart
is saying one thing but my body won't let go."
With trembling hands she reaches
up a stranger's flesh is offered.
And I would be the last to know,
I would be the last to let it show.
And I would be the last to go.
Take her hand, she will lead you
through the fire.
Give you back hope, and hope that
you don't take to much
Respecting what is left.
SHe cradled us she held us in her
arms
Unselfish in her suffering she
could not understand
That no one semed to have the time
to cherish what is offered
And I would be the last to know
and I would be the last to let
it show
and I would be tha last to go
....Mary walks....
I love the time and in between
the calm inside me in the space
where I can breathe
I believe there is a distance I
have wandered
to touch upon the years of reading
out and reaching in
holding out holding in.
I believe this is heaven to no
one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I
can be left here to linger in silence
if I choose to would you try to
understand.
I know this love is passing time,
passing through like liquid I am
drunk in my desire... but I love
the way you smile at me I love the way your hands reach out and hold me
near.
I believe this is heaven to no one
else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I
can be left here to linger in silence
if I choose to would you try to
understand.
Oh the quiet child awaits the day
when she can break free
the mold that clings like desperation.
Mother can't you see I've got to
live my life the way I feel is right for me
might not be right for you but
it is right for me..
I believe.. I believe this is heaven
to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I
can be left here to linger in silence
if I choose to would you try to
understand it.
I would like to linger here in
silence
if I choose to would you try to
understand...
There are two of us talking in circles
and one of us who wants to leave
in a world created for only us
an empty cage that has no key,
don't you know we're working with
flesh and blood carving out jealousy.
Crawling into each in a world created
for only us
an empty cage that has no key,
don't you know we're working with
flesh and blood carving out jealousy.
Crawling into each other it's smothering
every little part of me.
What kind of love is this that keeps
me hanging on despite everything it's doing to me,
what is this love that keeps me
coming back for more when it will only end in misery.
I know too many people unhappy in
a life from which they'd love to flee,
watching others get every offered
they're wanton for discovery.
Oh my brother my sister my mother
your losing your identity,
can't you see that it's you in
the window shining with intensity.
*Chorus*
The ice is thin come on dive in
underneath my lucid skin the cold
is lost, forgotten.
Hours pass days pass time stands
still
light gets dark and darkness fills
my secret heart forbidden...
I think you worried for me then
the subtle ways that I'd give in
but I know you liked the show,
tied down to this bed of shame
you tried to move around the pain
but oh you soul is anchored.
The only comfort is the moving of
the river
You enter in me a lie upon your
lips,
offer what you can I'll take all
that I can get
only 2 fools' here... well hey
fool that's your deception.
Your angels speak with jilted tongue,
the serpent's tale has come undone
you have no strength to squander.
The only comfort is the moving of
the river.
You enter into me a lie upon your
lips
offer what you can I'll take all
that I can get
only a fool's here to stay,
only a fools here to stay, only
a fool's here...
Hold on Hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell.
Hold on Hold on to yourself,
you know that only time can tell
what is it in me that refuses to
believe
this isn't easier than the real
thing.
My love you know that you're my
best friend
you know that I'd do anything for
you,
and my love let nothing come between
us
my love for you is strong and true.
Am I in heaven here or am I...
At the crossroads I am standing,
so now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow
and we'll see another day
and we will praise it
and love the light that brings
a smile across your face.
Oh god if you're out there won't
you hear me.
I know we've never talked before,a
nd oh god the man I love is leaving
won't you take him when he comes
to your door,
am I in heaven here or am I in hell
at the crossroads I am standing.
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray that you'll be strong tomorrow and we will see
another day
and we will praise it
and love the light that brings
a smile across your face...
Hold on hold on to yourself for
this is gonna hurt like hell.
Your love is better than ice cream,
better than anything else that
I've tried
and your love is better than ice
cream
everyone here knows how to fight.
And it's a long way down
it's a long way down it's a long
way down to the place where we started from.
Your love is better than chocolate
better than anything else that
I've tried
and oh love is better than chocolate,
everyone here knows how to cry.
And it's a long way down it's a
long way down
it's a long way down to the place
where we started from... do do do...
Morning smiles like the face of
a newborn child innocent unknowing.
Winters end promises of a long
lost friend, speaks to me of comfort,
but I fear I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose here in
this lonely place,
tangled up in your embrace there's
nothing I'd like better than to fall,
but I fear I have nothing to give.
Wind in time rapes the flower trembling
on the vine
and nothing yields with to shelter
it, from above,
they say temptation will destroy
our love the never ending hunger,
but I fear I have nothing to give
I have to much to lose here
in this lonely place,
tangled up in our embrace there's
nothing I'd like better than to fall,
but I fear I have nothing to give.
I have so much to lose. I have
nothing to give.
We have so much to lose...
All the fear that has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore.
It's my heart that pounds beneath
my flesh,
it's my mouth that pushes out this
breath,
and if I shed a tear I won't cage
it.
I won't fear love and if I feel
a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love.
Companion to our demons they will
dance and we will play.
With chairs candles and cloths
making darkness in the day.
It will be easy to look in or out
upstream on down without a thought.
And if I shed a tear I won't cage
it.
I won't fear love and if I fear
a rage I won't deny it.
I won't fear love.
Peace in the struggle to find peace,
comfort on the way to comfort
*Chorus*
You come out at night
that's when the energy comes
and the dark side's light
and the vampires roam
you strut your rasta wear
and your suicide poem
and a cross from a faith
that died before Jesus came
you're building a mystery
You live in a church
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
and you won't give up the search
for the ghosts in the halls
you wear sandals in the snow
and a smile that won't wash away
can you look out the window
without your shadow getting in
the way
oh you're so beautiful
with an edge and a charm
but so careful
when I'm in your arms
CHORUS
'Cause you're working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your secret god
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears
Give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
just when we need one
when the evening's thin
Oh you're a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
you're setting up your
razor wire shrine
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
I have a smile
stretched from ear to ear
to see you walking down the road
We meet at the lights
I stare for a while
the world around disappears
Just you and me
on this island of hope
a breath between us could be miles
Let me surround you
my sea to your shore
let me be the calm you seek
Oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away
And I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you
I grieve in my condition
for I cannot find the words to
say I need you so
Oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away
And I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you
It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I've left behind me
is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
from where I can't return
where every step I took in faith
betrayed me
and led me from my home
And sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
You take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
are you an angel
am I already that gone
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm down here
on my knees
And sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
Sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
And I don't understand
by the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall
I miss the little things
I miss everything (about you)
It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I left behind me
is a cold room
And sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
Adia I do believe I failed you
Adia I know I let you down
don't you know I tried so hard
to love you in my way
it's easy let it go...
Adia I'm empty since you left me
trying to find a way to carry on
I search myself and everyone
to see where we went wrong
'Cause there's no one left to finger
there's no one here to blame
there's no one left to talk to,
honey
and there ain't no one to buy our
innocence
'cause we are born innocent
believe me Adia, we are still innocent
it's easy, we all falter
does it matter?
Adia I thought that we could make
it
but I know I can't change the way
you feel
I leave you with your misery
a friend who won't betray
I pull you from your tower
I take away your pain
and show you all the beauty you
possess
if you'd only let yourself believe
that
we are born innocent
believe me Adia, we are still innocent
it's easy, we all falter, does
it matter?
believe me Adia, we are still innocent
'cause we are born innocent
Adia we are still innocent
it's easy, we all falter ... but
does it matter?
What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage
created you a monster
broken by the rules of love
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do ...
And I have the sense to recognize
that
I don't know how to let you go
every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
but I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how
to let you go
I don't know how
to let you go
A glowing ember
burning hot
burning slow
deep within I'm shaken by the violence
of existing for only you
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
and I have sense to recognize but
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
Make me a witness
take me out
out of darkness
out of doubt
I won't weigh you down
with good intention
won't make fire out of clay
or other inventions
Will we burn in heaven
like we do down here
will the change come
while we're waiting
Everyone is waiting
And when we're done
soul searching
as we carried the weight
and died for a cause
is misery
made beautiful
right before our eyes
will mercy be revealed
or blind us where we stand
Will we burn in heaven
like we do down here
will the change come while we're
waiting
everyone is waiting
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it
okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the
day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at
your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you
lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this
sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings
me to my knees
In the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
Unravel me
a distant cord
on the outside is forgotten
a constant need
To get along
and the animal awakens
and all I feel is black and white
The road is long
the memory slides
to the whole of my undoing
put aside
I put away
I push it back to get through each
day
and all I feel is black and white
and I'm wound up small and tight
and I don't know who I am
Everybody loves you when you're
easy
everybody hates when you're a bore
everyone is waiting for your entrance
so
don't disappoint them
Unravel me
untie this chord
the very center of our union
is caving in
I can't endure
I am the archive of our failure
And all I feel is black and white
and I'm wound up small and tight
and I don't know who I am
Everybody loves you when you're
easy
everybody hates when you're a bore
everyone is waiting for your entrance
so
don't disappoint them
Everybody loves you when you're
easy so
don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them...
The winter here's cold, and bitter
it's chilled us to the bone
we haven't seen the sun for weeks
to long too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
and I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so
low
oh darkness I feel like letting
go
If all of the strength and all of
the courage
come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better
than this
full of grace
full of grace
my love
So it's better this way, I said
having seen this place before
where everything we said and did
hurts us all the more
its just that we stayed, too long
in the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so
low
oh darkness I feel like letting
go
If all of the strength
and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better
than this
full of grace
full of grace
my love

Yesterday, was not just another
day
Not like before
Yesterday, I saw your smilin' face
Love walked through, my door
One precious moment
Changed my life
One tender kiss
Made everything right
One touch from you
And this world was mine
It was in your arms where I found
forever
Chorus
Cried my first tears of joy, last
night
Heaven shined a light
All my dreams came true
My first night with you
I felt the sun
Shine so bright on me
Chased the rain from my heart
Through the storm
Through the darkest night
I found my brightest star
One magic moment
Made one magic night
I fell in love
With one look in your eyes baby
I never knew I could feel so loved
Darling, in your arms
I could feel forever
Chorus
One precious moment
Changed my life
One tender kiss
Made everything right
One touch from you
And this world was mine
It was in your arms babe
Where I found forever and ever
Cried my first tears of joy, last
night (last night I cried)
Heaven shined a light [Heaven shined
a light]
All my dreams came true
Cried my first tears of joy, last
night (cried, tears, shined)
Heaven shined a light
All my dreams came true
My first night with you.
[ODB]
Man man, look up at the sky
All the stars man, the stars is
beautiful tonight
Look at em!
Chorus: Mya
Ghetto superstar, that is what you
are
Comin from afar, reachin for the
stars
Run away with me, to another place
We can rely on each other, uh-huh
From one corner, to another, uh-huh
[Pras]
Uh, yeah, yo, yo
Some got, hopes and dreams, we
got, ways and means
The surpreme dream team, always
up with the schemes
From hubcaps to sellin raps, name
your theme
My rise to the top, floatin on
this cream
Who the hell wanna stop me, I hated
those who doubt me
A million ReFugees with unlimited
warranties
Black Ceasar, dating top divas
Diplomatic immunities, no time
for a Visa
They just begun, I'ma shoot them
one by one
Got five sides to me, somethin
like a pentagon
Strike with the forces of King
Solomon
Lettin bygones be bygones, and
so on, and so on
I'ma teach this cat, how to live
in the ghetto
Keepin it retro-spective from the
get go
Lay low, let my mind shine like
a halo
P-P-Politic with ghetto senators
on the deelow
Chorus
[Ol' Dirty Bastard]
One two, and you don't stop, yo
My eyes is sore, bein a senator
Behind closed doors hittin truth
to the seafloor
The rich go North ignore, the tug
of war
While the kids are poor, open new
and better drug stores
So I became hardcore, couldn't
take it no more
I'ma reveal EVERYTHING, change
the law
I find myself, walkin the streets
Tryin to find what's really goin
on in the streets
[Pras]
Yea, yo, yo, yo
Now every dog got his day, needless
to say
When the chief away that's when
them cats want to play
I told you, mess around you fools
like Cassius Clay
Stretch my heater make you do a
pas de bourree
Kick your balls like Pele, pick
em doin ballet
Peak like Dante, broader than Broadway
Get applause like a matador, cry
yellin !Ole!
Who the hell wanna save me, from
B.K., to Cali
Come on
Chorus
[Pras]
Yeah... yo, yeah
Just when you thought it was safe
in a common place
Showcase your finest is losin fast
in the horse race
Two faced, gettin defaced, out
like Scarface

do
Is have a chick on the side, right?
TRUE! (true, true)
[Repeat CHORUS until fade]
Verse 1:
Mmmmmmmmmmm
Oh it hurts so bad.
It started out so perfect, something
God could only create.
A union of both me and you on this
special day
Never once did I take for granted
that you’ve been hurt before.
So you treated me like a lady and
even more.
So I can’t understand why you brought
stones into my life.
Tell me why, you destroyed every
part of me.
Now what once a beautiful lady
that you showered with your love must live with
a heart that bleeds.
I hope you never have to come this
way again.You used to be my lover and my
friend. So please don’t take
offense when I say
what I have to say.
If you died I wouldn’t cry
cause you never loved me any way.
Promises made and secrets told
Late nights spent in ecstasy, we
made love in a bed of roses for the universe
to see. There was no holding
back from each other, both of our minds were
free. We never wasted time
apart, boy it seems like eternty.
So I can’t understand why you brought
these stones into my life.. Oh tell me
why.
I gave you a reason to live and
you used my love in vain .. so go on by
yourself to survive this alone..
You know you can’t come back home.
I hope you never come this way again.
You did, you did. So please don’t take
offense when I say what I have
to say.
If you died I wouldn’t cry
cause you never .. no way.
no way no way
How could this be
After all the love you said we
shared you turned around and leave.
Boy you know you were my heart
and soul but I can’t be pretend I gotta let
you go.
Together forever that’s what we
both said. I didn’t know that life could be
so unfair.
Baby you did this to me.
You were my lover
So please don’t take offense when
I say what I have to say.
I hope you die, I hope you die
Cause you never loved me anyway.
I.... you never never never never
never never never never
You use to be my lover and my friend.
You can get struck by lighting, washed
away by the sea, burned in a fire
just don’t bring it back to me. Cause
Cause you never loved me anyway.
Is it really real
The love that you feel for me
Or is it a game
for you to get into my groove
But boy don't be dismayed
I'd feel it too
If I apply to you
Boy your love remains the same
Chorus
Boy I'll give you all I've got
All I have is all I get
If you remain
remain the same
Just keep on lovin' me
'cause all that I want to do
I'll take the time to show you
how it
could be
Just keep on lovin' me
I know your disappointed
But what can I do boy
to make that change
This time I'll do what you say
to help you believe
And make it better
To keep it together
Chorus
Ad lib until fade
Chorus
Baby it's yours
No one does it better
Baby it's yours
Make it last forever
You know that it's yours
Long as were together
Baby you can rest assure
It's yours, it's yours
I never thought it would happen
to me
I never thought I would feel this
way
But you kissed me and suddenly
Now I'm going crazy
(going insane out my mind)
You're all I'm thinking of
There's nobody in the world
Who means as much
(the only one that I adore)
There's no getting over
What's in your mind
Chorus
I never thought that you would be
mine
I never thought that we'd be cool
But since you came into my life
I only think about you
(baby it's true all the time)
Can't get you off my mind
The only place I wanna be is by
your side
(you're everything I dream and
more)
The one I adore
So what I'm saying, it's yours
Chorus
Who is on your mind
When it's late at night
When you’re in your bed
And it's your time
Don't try to deny
I know you're thinking about me
all the time
Baby boo, I'm hooked on you
And I know I got you feeling it
(feeling it)
All I'm looking for one that I
adore
So baby it's yours
Chorus
(Chorus):
Anytime you want me just say so
Cause when it comes to you I can't
say
Anytime you want me just say so
Cause when it comes to you I can't
say no
There's something about you babe
I ain't living without you babe
So I let you know
Anytime you want me just say so
There's something bout the way you
move
That always puts me in the mood
And every little thing you do
Makes me wanna get with you
Maybe it's the way you flow
That makes me wanna lose control
Well maybe I should let you know
Anytime you want me just say so
(Repeat Chorus)
There's something bout the way you
smile
Always seems to drive me wild
Maybe it is just your style
That makes me wanna stay a while
We can take it nice and slow
We can turn the lights down low
Don't nobody have to know
I won't tell how far we go
(Repeat Chorus)
I can't explain
I think about you every night and
day
You're on my mind
I never thought that I would feel
this way
I can't deny
That when I think of you
I seem to lose my cool
Here I go, boy you know
Anytime you want me just say
(Repeat Chorus until end)
(Chorus):
If you were mine
I'd treat you right
I would be there for you
Always take care of you
Give you the world
If I was your girl
Baby I swear
Always be there
Now first off you can't blame me
for my heart
Cause I never thought that I would
fall so far
But ever since the first time that
you caught my eye
Boy you give me a while you're
on my mind
In a matter of time you'll be mine
(Repeat Chorus)
If I could close my eyes and make
a wish
The only thing worth asking for
is just one kiss
Cause I thought if I'd have took
a day
You walked in my life
There's no way to deny how I'm
feeling inside
Cause in a matter of time
You'll be mine
(Repeat Chorus)
I've told myself a thousand times
It's destiny for you and me
Cause when I close my eyes
Your face is all I see
I just can't help myself
I want you and baby no one else
Cause in a matter of time
I'll get the world
(Repeat Chorus until end)

haunts me/Even though she's gone/From
my daughter that never sleeps/I ran from the noise and the
silence/From the traffic on the
streets/I ran to the treetops/I ran to the sky/out to the lake/into the
rain/that matted my hair/And
soaked my shoes and skin/Hid my tears, hid my fears/I ran to the forest/I
ran to the
trees/I ran and I ran/I was looking
for me/I ran past the churches/And the crooked old mailbox/Past the
apple orchards/And the lady that
never talks/Up to the hills/I ran to the cemetery/And held my breath/And
thought about your death/I ran to the
lake/Up into the hills/I ran and I ran/I'm looking there still/And I saw
the crumbling tombstones/The forgotten
names/I tasted the rain/I tasted my tears/I cursed the angels/I
tasted my fears/And the ground
gave way beneath my feet/And the earth took me in her arms/Leaves
covered my face/Ants marched across
my back/The black sky opened up/Blinding me/I ran to the forest/I
ran to the trees/I ran and I ran/I
was looking for me/I ran to the lakes/And up to the hill/I ran and I
ran/I'm looking there still/And
I smelt her burning flesh/Her rotting bones/Her decay/I ran and I ran/I'm
still running today
