A Life Of Saturdays

Dexter Freebish A Life Of Saturdays歌詞
1.Leaving Town

Oh, your reputation's so golden
You're never lonely and you're never home
I know you've been talking about leaving
You've lost all your feeling for this town
Paint your nails and put on your lipstick
You don't want to miss your ticket out
Just because you graduate from school so high in the gene pool,
that's your point of view

But when you're broken down and no one else is around
You'll come running back to this town and i'll be there, yeah
i'll be there

'cause i remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And daydreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town

Pack your bags, your smokes in your pocket
You're wearing my locket around your neck
Take a drag and wait for the grayhound
The world is your playground and you want to win
But when you're broken down and no one else is around
You'll come running back to this town and i'll be there, yeah
i'll be there

'cause i remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And daydreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town

Nothing in life will ever come that easy
Doesn't mean it has to be that hard
I know you will find out who you are...
But when you're broken down and no one else is around
You'll come running back to this town and i'll be there, yeah
i'll be there

'cause i remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And daydreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town


2.My Madonna

I don't ever want to wake up
I don't ever want to shut my eyes again
She's like a fantasy i've made up
But she's real, she's the best i'll ever get

I just need to stay inside her
She just wants to save my soul, my soul

She's the leader of her own world order
She's a legend in my own mind
She's the goddess of her own religion
My madonna, and i can't believe she's mine

When we talk it's like communion
When we walk it's like we're walking on air
There's just no rhyme, there's just no reason
Because of her i'm living without a care

I just need to stay beside here
She just wants to save my soul, my soul

She's the leader of her own world order
She's a legend in my own mind
She's the goddess of her own religion
My madonna, and i can't believe she's mine
Yeah, i can't believe she's mine
And i can't believe she's mine
And i can't believe she's mine

She's the leader of her own world order
She's a legend in my own mind
She's the goddess of her own religion
My madonna, and i can't believe she's mine


3.Higher

She was driving the car
One thumb on the wheel
Cigarette burning
Life to her was no big deal
Her thin, white tanktop
Was almost see through
I've always been attracted
To her butterfly tattoo

I wanted to know her
I knew that she could show me the way, yeah

She could take me higher than i've ever gone
She could take me higher
Than i've ever flown

The top was down
The sun was on our necks
I'm usually driving
But today there are no regrets
We were going someplace
And she could lead me there
I can see her depth once you
Peel away the layers...

I wanted to know her
I knew that she could show me the way, yeah

She could take me higher
Than i've ever gone
She could take me higher
Than i've ever flown

I never thought i could feel this way
Ain't gonna look back on yesterday, no
I see the world open up for me
It's in her eyes as she looks at me, yeah
And now i know what i am here for
Yeah, i know

She could take me higher
Than i've ever gone
She could take me higher
Than i've ever flown


4.What Do You See?

You wake up in the morning and clear your head
You sometimes think you'd be better off dead
You drive to work in a beat up car
You know where you're going but you don't know where you are

You might think you could be happy someday
But you don't know how to look the other way...

What do you see
When the sun don't shine and you cannot find your way
What do you see
When the rain falls down onto the ground each day

You work a crap job, you don't know why
You follow your orders, you never blink an eye
You listen to them scream and you listen to them yell
You watch them create your own little private hell

You might think you could be happy someday
But you don't know how to look the other way

What do you see
When the sun don't shine and you cannot find your way
What do you see
When the rain falls down onto the ground each day

You go to bed, but you cannot sleep
You wonder how you're gonna make it through the week
You finally doze off, you fall into a dream
You are the puppet who wants to cut its strings

What do you see
When the sun don't shine and you cannot find your way
What do you see
When the rain falls down onto the ground each day


5.Spotlight

You're the one they want so give them want they need
A temporary touch
Feeling so ashamed, don't want to take the blame
Thinking it's too much

So now you've had a taste of what it's like to be
Sitting in the spotlight or would you rather be
In someone else's shoes not knowing who you are

But it's not the end of the world quite yet
And all of these things will get better i bet

Who do you believe now that you're in the spotlight
What do you choose to do
You come in through the side door people always want more
What are you gonna to do

Cause you're the one they want so keep 'em to their knees
Keep them asking please
They're eating from your hands you make them understand
What it's like to bleed

So now you've had a taste of what it's like to be
Sitting in the spotlight or would you rather be
Iin someone else's shoes not knowing who you are

But it's not the end of the world quite yet
And all of these things will get better i bet

Who do you believe now that you're in the spotlight
What do you choose to do
You come in through the side door people always want more
What are you gonna to do


6.Tomorrow

To all that came before me
To all that left their mark
To all that tried and failed so
To all that now are gone
I see myself in your words
I see you in my smile
Your wisdom's like a lighthouse
That guides me when i'm lost...

I find myself at this crossroad, broken dreams
And i don't know what tomorrow might bring

I'm like a ball of clay
That you molded with your hands
Raised me without shadows
And baptized me in the light
To those that came before me
I know i'll see you soon
And like a distant star in the night
I'm reaching out for you...

I find myself at this crossroad, broken dreams
And i don't know what tomorrow might bring


7.Deeper

At the end of the day
And into the night
That's when i get my peace and quiet
I'm on a fast ride and i want to get off
Whatever i do, whatever i say
Is anyone listening anyway?
I'm falling deeper and deeper
And deeper down below

Ahh, oooohh, here i go again
Ahh, oooohh, help me understand

At the end of the day
And into the night
That's when the darkness gives me light
I can see clearly what is right in front of me
I'm falling and i'm calling out
No one can hear me shout
Or maybe i'm crazy and
I'm screaming in the wrong direction
Whatever i do, whatever i say
Is anyone listening anyway
I'm falling deeper and deeper
And deeper down below

Ahh, oooohh, here i go again
Ahh, oooohh, help me understand
Ahh, oooohh, here i go again
Ahh, oooohh, help me understand
I'm drowning, can't you see?

I'm on a train that's jumped its tracks
I'm not sure how i'm gonna get back
Somebody please help me off my knees
I'm asking, anybody please

Ahh, oooohh, here i go again
Ahh, oooohh, help me understand
Ahh, oooohh, here i go again
Ahh, oooohh, help me understand


8.Falling Down

She smokes like there is no tomorrow
She says it makes her feel alive
She drinks her wine like it is water
Because she feels dry inside

She drives her car like it's a bullet
She says that time is slipping away
She never thinks about her future
It's a million miles away

She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade of pink, yeah

There will come a day when she will wake up
And then she'll wonder where she's been
All this time she will wish that she could make up
But it will be too late then

She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade of pink, yeah

She's falling down, falling down
Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
And screaming, yeah, yeah, yeah

She is falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade
She's falling down
It feels like a paisley shade of pink, yeah


9.A Life Of Saturdays

I just wanna sail the seven seas and hide behind the sun and
never close my
Eyes, lay on my back and fantasize of the perfect place to
be.....
I wanna see the mona lisa climb the pyramids of giza on a
moonlit night,
Oh i just wanna fantasize of the perfect place to be......

I just wanna disappear and feel like i'm free at last
The time is right my day has come
It's gonna start today
My life of saturdays.......

I wanna see the seven wonders feel the rolling thunder of a
spanish sky
Lay on my back and fantasize of the perfect place to be......
I wanna swim the deepest ocean, be poetry in motion on a paris
night
Oh i just wanna fantasize of the perfect place to be......

I just wanna disappear and feel like i'm free at last
The time is right my day has come
It's gonna start today
My life of saturdays


10.Wonderland

You sit in a stairwell, there is no sound
You feel like a king that has lost his crown
You're not turning heads in a beat up truck
You think you'll never win because you've got bad luck

Well, it might get better because it can't get any worse...

This wonderland
Is this the life that you thought you would have
This wonderland
Is this where you dreamed you'd be at

Well, it might get better because it can't get any worse...

Monday's bad, but friday's worse
You called for a cab and they sent a hearse
You wanna go out, but there's nowhere to go
You're still stuck in the middle of a bad tv show

Well, it might get better because it can't get any worse...

This wonderland
Is this the life that you thought you would have
This wonderland
Is this where you dreamed you'd be at

This wonderland
Is this the life that you thought you would have
This wonderland
Is this all you can give


11.Bring Me Water

Bring me water
Bring me laughter
Dancing children in a pasture

Going nowhere
Life's disaster
Spirits broken
Does it matter?

Bring me water
Bring me laughter
Dancing children in a pasture

Going nowhere
Life's disaster
Calling to the ever after
