Gramercy Park Hotel lyrics - Edwin Mccain
Ol' Babe Ruth, he was a drunkard just like me
He lived it high, and he lived it low
Staggered down the New York streets
They throw him out the pub, when he raised a little too much hell
And then he lay his big fat head down at the
Gramercy park hotel
The Gramercy park hotel
All these hit men, look like organ grinders to me
Rock stars on golden chains, little monkeys dancin' round their feet
Well give me a little hat, little vest, and a little monkey bell
And send my bananas baby to the
Gramercy park hotel
The Gramercy Park Hotel
And all the publicists sing
La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da
La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da
La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da
And its so far gone
And its so far gone
Maybe this is just a beggars life, and maybe its all dream
Maybe its just about kindness I should forget all my silly schemes
Maybe I'm just a fool, but my fool shoes fit so well
Snuggled up in my big fool blanket at the
Gramercy Park Hotel
The Gramercy Park Hotel
The Gramercy Park Hotel
The Gramercy Park Hotel
And all the publicists sing
La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da
La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da
The Kiss lyrics - Edwin Mccain
On the six O clock flight
It takes all my might
To find the reasons why
I'm buckling in
To leave you again
From the corner of my eye
I see a perfect lipstick kiss
That can't be what it is
On the outside of the plane
Smack right on the pane
Through rain clouds, ups and downs
Even in this thin frozen air
The kiss is still there
Kiss is still there
Was it an angel
Or a maintenance girl
Showing off for the crew
Its finding the way
Because here in 5A
It feels like I'm with you
Through rain clouds, ups and downs
Even in this thin frozen air
The kiss is still there
Kiss is still there [repeat]
The lover in waiting
Leaves the light on
I hope you feel it
When I am gone
Through rain clouds, ups and downs
Even in this thin frozen air
The kiss is still there
Kiss is still there
The kiss is still there
Kiss is still there
Welcome To Struggleville lyrics - Edwin Mccain
All is quiet on the Western front,
There appears to be a lull.
John and Jane Doe are sleeping well tonight
With the little thoughts inside their skulls.
Salome she's undressed to the nines
Although a few pounds fatter.
She's got Pavlov's bells on her ankles and wrists,
She coming at you with her platter.
I stole down to the waterfront
To escape the desert heat.
What on earth you gotta do around here
To try and get yourself a drink
Heard John the Baptist preaching
"Make way for the King,
But if you wanna recognize him,
You gotta tell me all your sins"
They are building a new gallows
For when You show up on the street.
Polishing the electric chair,
They're gonna give You a front row seat.
Heard a sneer outside the garden;
Salutation so well-heeled:
"Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"
I've been trying to negotiate peace
With my own existence.
She's gotta stockpile full of weaponry;
She breaking every cease-fire agreement.
Whole thing is full of decay
Just as sure as I'm made of dust,
And into rust I know the beast is falling.
They are building a new gallows
For when You show up on the street.
Polishing the electric chair,
They're gonna give You a front row seat.
Heard a sneer outside the garden;
Salutation so well-heeled:
"Final Stop! No points beyond Struggleville"
Truly Believe lyrics - Edwin Mccain
I didn't reach out,
Cause I didn't need saving.
I wasn't drowning,
I was just waving.
I apologize,
For the misunderstanding.
But I wasn't falling,
I was just landing.
I'm not over,
Just getting started.
I'm not gonna be some,
Dearly departed.
I wouldn't shatter,
To the touch.
Baby you worry,
A little too much.
[Chorus]
If you let me be,
Who I'm becoming,
Stop seeing me,
As everything I've been.
You could be free,
From the wondering.
Let me give you something to,
Truly believe in.
If I'm guilty,
It's not murder,
But is killing time,
So unkind?
And we take this struggle,
Further and further.
Only to find,
Oh no finish lines.
[Chorus]
If you let me be,
Who I am becoming.
Stop seeing me,
As everything I've been.
You could be free,
From the wondering.
Let me give you something to,
Truly believe in.
We can chose to fight the war,
Or find the little things.
There's music in the notes,
It's in the space between.
[Chorus]
If you let me be,
Who I'm becoming.
Stop seeing me,
As everything I've been.
You could be free,
From the wondering.
Let me give you something to,
Truly believe in forgiveness.
I truly believe,
We can begin again.
I truly believe,
I can fix this.
Let me give you something
Lost In America lyrics - Edwin Mccain
Well I made a small fortune sellin used cars
And it's buried out back in a cookie jar
I raise a toast to Senior Escobar
For givin me a pot to piss in
Well I ran a little scam until '92
Now I hang around here for somethin to do
And I just keep talkin till I'm blue
To any one who'll listen
[Chorus:]
Yes, we're lost in America
And this land we're so proud of
We got the cars, the girls, the money, the drugs
To get you out of your rut
Yes, we're lost in America
She got a brand new lease on an Escalade
And a bumper sticker bout a whale to save
And she's burnin up gas like they gave it away
At least her kid's on the honor roll
She got a handful of pills to improve her mood
Liposuction, big, fake boobs
She got a Mexican maid that brings the food
To the birdcage made of gold
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I'm droppin out
And I'm quittin this game
Yes, I'm washin my feet, turn off my phone
Changin my name, hittin the road
Don't really know where I'm gonna go
But I'm gettin the hell out of here
[Chorus]
In America
My Mystery lyrics - Edwin Mccain
If you had your way
You would be mine
When this beautiful ache
Is all that you find
You've got your life
We missed our time
Such a passionate crime
You'll always be
My mystery
You'll always be
My mystery
I'll touch your skin
You tremble and shake
And I fight the desire
When I'm awake
You'll break their hearts
Thinking of me
Such a careless disease
You'll always be
My mystery
You'll always be
My mystery
Nobody said it would be fair
They warned you before
You went out there
It's always the chance
To get restarted
To a new world - new life
Scarred but smarter
And nobody said it would be fair
But in the end I think it is
Karma, justice
Whatever you call it
It's waiting there
Keep looking for it
You'll always be
My mystery
You'll always be
My mystery
Oh yeah
Black And Blue lyrics - Edwin Mccain
Showed up in a sleeve of tattoos
High definition broadcast of attitude
It's like she wants me to know she's got nothing left to lose
Me too
Little bag of junk gets her high
Keeps her from thinking bout the shadows in her mind
She likes me
She knows i won't ask her why she cries
Let me fall down
You can fall too
We'll call us banged up black and blue
Let me find out what happened to you
Wakin' up banged up black and blue
Sometimes it's the struggle that makes it good
I woudlnt' judge ya even if i could
There's no magic in the line
It's misunderstood
You could
You would
Let me fall down
You can fall too
We'll call us banged up black and blue
Let me find out what happened to you
Wakin' up banged up black and blue
[sax solo]
Let me fall down
You can fall too
We'll call us banged up black and blue
Let me find out what happened to you
Wakin' up banged up black and blue
Banged up black and blue
Banged up black and blue
Bitter And Twisted lyrics - Edwin Mccain
A born killer
Bitter and twisted
Taking it out
On your mother and sister
White lie
I've been a bad boy
Does anyone know the way
Out of the freak show
Kill joy
Jonny come lately
He's taking my pain
And driving me crazy
A child star
Messing with fire
Guns in my hand
And I'm walking the wire
Could it be I'm not worth saving
Do you see
Any redemption for my soul
I believe I can make it
When the darknes comes
Down on me
Outside you got the feeling
The walrus cried out
But no one was listening
He said "happiness is a warm gun"
Give me some chances
We'll work in the long run
Could it be I'm not worth saving
Do you see
Any redemption for my soul
I believe I can make it
Whent he darkness comes
Down on me
So wasteful
And distasteful
What can we destroy
Could it be I'm not worth saving
Do you see
Any remption for my soul
I beleve I can make it
When the darkness comes
Down on me
Down on me
Losing Tonight lyrics - Edwin Mccain
I can't believe it
What my eyes are seeing
When the big wheel stops turning
Theres nothing left to believe in
Release me
From this moment
Because I can't hold on anymore
And I'm falling
Into darkness
Will you be there to break my fall
Its too late to worry
I'll wait until morning
Comes around again
Because it feels like
I'm losing tonight
I'm fighting the reasons
Changing all I believe in
I'm reaching out slowly
To the distant ship she'll be
As the colors fade
To a different shade
In this town
The waters never flow
Release me
From this moment
I need to let go
Its too late to worry
I'll wait until morning
Comes around again
Because it feels like
I'm losing tonight
As the colors fade
To a different shade
In this town
The waters never flow
Release me
From this moment
I need to let go
Its too late to worry
I'll wait until morning
Comes around again
Because it feels like ohh
I'm losing tonight
Yeah I'm losing tonight
Well I'm losing tonight
Losing tonight
Babylon lyrics - Edwin Mccain
Well sweetness, I love it when you wrap me up
I'm a drowning man for the third time
Twenty-one gun salute in your flag of mercy
Preparing my body for a burial at sea
So put your tongue in my ear
Through this veil of tears
Whisper what's gone wrong? gone wrong?
The world, the world she's a Babylon
Coming in from the coast it's a bad nor'easter
Waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance
Build up the tower, unlocking the secrets
The pride of man is so contentious
[Chorus]
This is no pleasure cruise in the South Pacific
I'm bailing ice water up to my neck
Titanic's captain said that God couldn't sink her
You might say he learned a healthy respect
[Chorus]
