Love Is Not A choice

And we'll let the world dance around us while you lie here in my arms. The beat of your heart is all the music I need to hear. I spent my whole life searching for this melody, so I'll listen while I hold you near.

Her close friends have gathered.Lord, ain't it a shameGrieving togetherSharing the blame.But when she was dyingLord, we let her down.There's no use cryin'It can't help her now.The party's all overDrink up and go home.It's too late to love herAnd leave her alone.Just say she was someoneLord, so far from homeWhose life was so lonesomeShe died all aloneWho dreamed pretty dreamsThat never came trueLord, why was she bornSo black and blue?Oh, why was she bornSo black and blue?Epitaph (Black And Blue) Written by: Kris KristoffersonNote: "Epitaph" is about Janis Joplin.

And each one there has one thing shared;They have sweated beneath the same sun,Look up in wonder at the same moon,And wept when it was all done,For being done too soon.

And nothing's wrong when nothing's trueBut I live in a hologram with you.

Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain,For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain.America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea.

A lady that I know just came from Colombia. She laughed because I did not understand. She held out some marijuana uh-huh, said it was the finest in the land. I said, no-no-no-no, i dont smoke it no more. It only makes me fall on the floor.No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze, and then it makes it hard to find the door. A lady that i know just came from Morrocco, Spain. She laughed because i did not understand. She held out a ten-pound bag of cocaine, said it was the finest in the land. I said no-no-no-no, i don't *sniff* no more, it only makes me fall on the floor. No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze, and then it makes it hard to find the door.A lady that i know just came from Tennesee. She laughed because i did not understand. She held out a jug of moonshine, uh-huh, said it was the finest in the land. I said no-no-no-no, i don't drink it no more, it only makes me fall on the floor. No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze, and then it makes it hard to find the door.Ringo Starr's No-No Song

Don't criticize what you can't understand.

Written up in marker on a factory sign:I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine

Memories consumeLike opening the woundI'm picking me apart againYou all assumeI'm safe here in my roomUnless I try to start again.

It's not worth it!It's not workin'!You wanted it to be picture perfect!

It's these little things, they can pull you underLive your life filled with joy and wonderI always knew this altogether thunderWas lost in our little lives

If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.

We fought an entire army with a bouquet of flowers back in the '70'sBut now you're taught to remain without will until you run out of energyAfraid that if you strive for an ideal you end up like a KennedyIt's like being on a treadmill every day but never losing any weight'Cause to see success the food before you digest has to changeWe're stressed and high, get depressed and dieBut still afraid to question whyOne of the biggest criminals I ever met wore a suit and tieWhen did we stop believing? When did we stop marching?When did we stop chanting?

When all you wanted was to be wanted, you wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now.

funny how a beautiful song could tell such a sad story

We're reaching for death on the end of a candle We're trying for something that's already found us

We all shine on...like the moon and the stars and the sun...we all shine on...come on and on and on...
