Weather
June 25, 2015
And I’ll have it made oh no no no
You know I’m really gonna, really gonna
Have it made
You know I’ll have it made
I’ll have it ma-a-a-ade (ah ah oh oh) [x4]
*[Note: Had no idea these were the lyrics. Pretty sure I was
singing something about “cheating strategies,” which obviously
makes no sense.]
It’s Raining Men – The Weather Girls
[Oddly intense musical intro]
Hi – Hi we’re your weather girls. (uh huh)
And have we got news for you! You’ve gotta listen:
Get ready all you lonely girls and leave those umbrellas at home.
(Alright!)
The humidity is risin (mm risin)
Barometer’s gettin’ low (how low)
Girl?
According to all sources (what sources now?)
The street’s the place to go (we better hurry up)
‘cause tonight for the first time (first time)
Just about half past ten (half past ten)
For the first time in history
it’s gonna start rainin’ men.
It’s rainin’ men. Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men - amen.
I’m gonna go out.
I’m gonna let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet.
It’s rainin’ men.
Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men
Ev’ry spe-ci-men:
Tall
Blond
Dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean.
God bless mother nature
She’s a single woman too.
She took on the heavens
And she did what she had to do.
She fought ev’ry angel
She rearranged the sky
So that each and ev’ry woman
Could find a perfect guy.
It’s rainin’ men. Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men - amen.
It’s rainin’ men. Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men - amen.
I feel stormy weather movin’ in
about to begin (about to begin)
Hear the thunder don’t you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed (rip off the roof and stay in bed)
God bless mother nature
She’s a single woman too.
She took on the heavens
And she did what she had to do.
She fought ev’ry angel
She rearranged the sky
So that each and ev’ry woman
Could find a perfect guy.
Ooh
It’s rainin’ men
Yeah.
Humidity is risin (humidity is risin)
Yeah
Barometer’s gettin’ low (it’s gettin’ low)
Low
Low
According to all sources (according to all sources)
The street’s the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time (first time)
Just about half past ten (half past ten)
For the first time in history
It’s gotta start rainin’ men (it’s gotta start rainin’ men)
It’s rainin’ men. Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men - amen.
It’s rainin’ men. Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men - amen
[Repeat, sort of. Make it up.]
Island In The Sun – Weezer
“Island In The Sun”
Hip hip [x4]
When you’re on a holiday
You can’t find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too
[Chorus:]
On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain
Hip hip
Hip hip
When you’re on a golden sea
You don’t need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone
[Chorus]
We’ll run away together
We’ll spend some time forever
We’ll never feel bad anymore
Hip hip [x3]
[Chorus]
We’ll run away together
We’ll spend some time forever
We’ll never feel bad anymore
The original A People’s Choir is a monthly group singalong created by Paige Reitz, Adele Hauser, and Decoteau
Wilkerson in Portland, Oregon. Every month, a theme is
chosen and choir members (i.e.,whoever wants to come)
suggest songs via social media. The choir simply sings along
to the sound recordings - anything goes!
The choir began in 2011 out of nostalgia for communal
singing. Since the first choir, A People’s Choir has hosted
choirs at PSU’s Open Engagement, New York’s Art in Odd
Places festival, Last Thursdays on Alberta, PDX Farm Fiesta
and monthly at their new venue, Crush Bar. They were also
listed as one of the “Best of Portland” by the Willamette
Week. Find out more about the Portland choir at: https://
www.facebook.com/APeoplesChoir
The DC choir started in April 2014. You can keep track of
events through email (send a note to the email below to get
on the list), Twitter, Facebook, or hawk. (Note: must supply
own trained hawk.)

(words in parentheses are for singing)
Walking On Sunshine – Katrina & The Waves
pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Ow!
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Hmmmm, yeah
Same old song,
just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
I used to think maybe you loved me, now, baby, I’m sure
And I just can’t wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now every time I go for the mailbox, I gotta hold myself down
‘Cause I just can’t wait till you write me you’re coming around
Now I’m walking on sunshine, whoa
I’m walking on sunshine, whoa
I’m walking on sunshine, whoa
And don’t it feel good
Hey, all right now
And don’t it feel good
Hey, yeah

And I don’t want to spend my whole life just a-waiting for you
Now, I don’t want you back for the weekend, not back for a day,
no, no, no
I said, baby, I just want you back, and I want you to stay

Oh, don’t it feel good, don’t it feel good
Now don’t it feel good
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Have You Ever Seen The Rain – Creedence
Clearwater Revival
Someone told me long ago, “There’s a calm before the storm,”
I know; it’s been comin’ for some time.
When it’s over, so they say,
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Now, don’t hang on,
nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away,
and all your money won’t another minute buy
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind (all we are is dust
in the wind)
Dust in the wind (everything is dust in the wind), everything is
dust in the wind (the wind)
Don’t Rain On My Parade – Barbara Streisand
Don’t tell me not to live, just sit and putter,
Life’s candy and the sun’s a ball of butter.
Don’t bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
Don’t tell me not to fly--I’ve simply got to.
If someone takes a spill, it’s me and not you.
Who told you you’re allowed to rain on my parade!
I’ll march my band out,
I’ll beat my drum,
And if I’m fanned out,
Your turn at bat, sir.
At least I didn’t fake it.
Hat, sir, I guess I didn’t make it!
But - whether I’m the rose of sheer perfection,
Or freckle on the nose of life’s complexion,
The cinder or the
shiny apple of its eye,
I gotta fly once,
I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy,
Juicy, and you’ll see
I’m gonna have my bite, sir!
Get ready for me, love,
‘Cause I’m a “comer,”
I simply gotta march, my heart’s a drummer.
Don’t bring around a cloud to rain on my parade!
I’m gonna live and live now,
Get what I want--I know how,
One roll for the whole shebang,
One throw, that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target--and wham-One shot, one gun shot, and bam—
Hey, Mister Arnstein,
here I am!
I’ll march my band out,
I will beat my drum,
And if I’m fanned out,
Your turn at bat, sir, at least I didn’t fake it.
Hat, sir, I guess I didn’t make it.
Get ready for me, love, ‘cause I’m a “comer,”
I simply gotta march, my heart’s a drummer.
No-body, no, nobody
Is gonna
rain on my
parade!
It’ll rain a sunny day,
I know; Shinin’ down like water.
Ice Ice Baby – Vanilla Ice
[Chorus:]
I want to know: have you ever seen the rain
I want to know: have you ever seen the rain
Comin’ down on a sunny day?
Yo, VIP, let’s kick it!
Ice Ice Baby,
Ice Ice Baby
All right stop, Collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo, I don’t know
Turn off the lights and I’ll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.
Dance, go rush the speaker that booms
I’m killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it, you better gain way
You better hit bull’s eye, the kid don’t play
If there was a problem, yo, I’ll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice Ice Baby
Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
Vanilla
Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in, and the Vegas are pumpin’
Quick to the point, to the point, no faking
Cooking MCs like a pound of bacon
Burning them they ain’t quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi hat with a souped up tempo
I’m on a roll and it’s time to go solo
Rollin’ in my 5 point oh
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby, waving just to say, “Hi!”
Did you stop? No, I just drove by
Kept on
pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I’m heading to the next block
That block was dead Yo
So I continued to A1A
Beachfront Ave.
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
Jealous - ‘cause I’m out getting mine
Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
Ready - for the chumps on the wall
The chumps acting ill because they’re so full of “Eight Ball”
Gunshots - ranged out like a bell
I grabbed my nine, all I heard was shells
Falling - on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper, the avenue’s packed
I’m trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene, you know what I mean
They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem, yo, I’ll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice Ice Baby
Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
Yesterday, and days before, Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; been that way for all my time.
‘Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; it can’t stop, I wonder.
[Chorus]
Yeeeaaaaaah!
[Chorus]
California Dreamin’ – The Mamas & The Papas
All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I’ve been for a walk (I’ve been for a walk)
On a winter’s day (on a winter’s day)
I’d be safe and warm (I’d be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher likes the cold (preacher likes the cold)
He knows I’m gonna stay (knows I’m gonna stay)
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day
[Some flutin’]
All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I’ve been for a walk (I’ve been for a walk)
On a winter’s day (on a winter’s day)
If I didn’t tell her (if I didn’t tell her)
I could leave today (I could leave today)
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day
Here Comes The Sun – The Beatles
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say
it’s all right
Little darling,
it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling,
it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Little darling,
the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling,
it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun
And I say
it’s all right
[don’t come in too early!]
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes [x5]
Little darling,
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling,
it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
Vanilla
Take heed, ‘cause I’m a lyrical poet
Miami’s on the scene just in case you didn’t know it
My town, that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
‘Cause my style’s like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed, this is a hell of a concept
We make it hype
and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade, slice like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast, other DJs say, “Damn.”
If my rhyme was a drug, I’d sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when it’s time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun
It’s all right, it’s all right
If there was a problem, Yo, I’ll solve it!
Check out the hook while D-Shay revolves it.

[musical intro]
Yo, man, let’s get out of here! Word to your mother!
Whenever I’m with him (ooh),
Something inside (inside)
Starts to burnin’ (ooh)
And I’m filled with desire
Ice Ice Baby, too cold,
Ice Ice Baby, too cold, too cold [x3]
Could it be a devil in me
Or is this the way love’s supposed to be?
Candle In The Wind – Elton John
[Chorus:]
It’s like a heat wave
Burnin’ in my heart (like a heat wave)
I can’t keep from cryin’ (like a heat wave)
It’s tearin’ me apart
Whenever he calls my name (wa ooh wa ooh)
Soft, low, sweet and plain, (yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
I feel, yeah, well, (wa ooh wa ooh)
I feel that burnin’ flame (yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love’s supposed to be?
[Chorus]
(Ooooh, oooh, heat wave)
(Ooooh, oooh, heat wave)
Sometimes I stare in space, (wah)
Tears all over my face (ooh wah ooh wah ooh
I can’t explain it, don’t understand it (ooh wah ooh wah)
I ain’t never felt like this before (ooh wah ooh wah ooh)
Now that funny feelin’ has me amazed
I don’t know what to do, my head’s in a haze
It’s like a heat wave
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (Well, it’s alright, girl)
Whoa-ho yeah (Go ahead, girl)
Yeah yeah - yeah yeah (Well, it’s alright, girl)
Ho yeah (Ain’t nothin’ but love, girl)
I fell it (Don’t pass up this chance)
It’s burnin’
Right here, in my heart (It sounds like true romance)
Don’t you know it’s like a heat wave?
Yeah yeah (Burnin’ burnin’)
Yeah yeah
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
[Chorus:]
And it seems to me
You lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role
you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
[Chorus]
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the twenty-second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
Oh Oh Oh
[Chorus]
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Oooh yeah, don’t know you know it’s like a heatwave
(Burnin’ burnin’ burnin’)
Right here in my heart (Burnin’ burnin’ burnin’)
Yeah, yeah (Burnin’ burnin’ burnin’)
Yeah, yeah
Ooooh, yeah
Heat Of The Moment – Asia
I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
A look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe the smile right from my face
Do you remember when we used to dance?
And incidents arose from circumstance
One thing led to ano-ther we were young
And we would scream toge-ther songs unsung
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
And now you find yourself in ‘82
The disco hot spots hold no charm for you
You can concern yourself with bigger things
You catch a pearl and ride the dragon’s wings
‘Cause it’s the heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
[musical interlude]
And when your looks are gone and you’re alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself?
Teenage ambitions you remember well
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment showed in your eyes
[guitar solo]
Only Happy When It Rains – Garbage
I’m only happy when it rains
I’m only happy when it’s complicated
And though I know you can’t appreciate it
I’m only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
And why it feels so good to feel so sad
I’m only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down,
pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down,
pour your misery down on me
I’m only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I’m only happy when it rains
[guitar]
I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn’t accidentally tell you that
I’m only happy when it rains
You’ll get the message by the time I’m through
When I complain about me and you
I’m only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down
Heat of the moment [x3]
You can keep me company
As long as you don’t care
Umbrella – Rihanna feat. Jay-Z
I’m only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
I’m riding high upon a deep depression
I’m only happy when it rains (Pour some misery down on me)
[Jay-Z]
Uh huh, uh huh (Yea - Rihanna)
Uh huh, uh huh (Good girl gone bad)
Uh huh, uh huh (Take three... Action)
Uh huh, uh huh
No clouds in my stones
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come we gone, we Rocafella
We fly higher than weather
In G5’s are better, You know me,
In anticipation, for precipitation. Stack chips for the rainy day
Jay, Rain Man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna where you at?
[Rihanna]
You have my heart
And we’ll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you’ll still be my star
I’m only happy when it rains (Pour some misery down on me)

The Thunder Rolls – Garth Brooks
[I think the original version has another verse, but I couldn’t
find it. I assume you are not offended.]
Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight
The city’s lookin’ like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There’s a storm moving in
He’s headin’ back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
Every light is burnin’
In a house across town
She’s pacin’ by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin’ for miracle
Hopin’ she’s not right
Prayin’ it’s the weather
That has kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
[Chorus:]
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin’ strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls
Baby ‘cause in the dark
You can’t see shiny cars
And that’s when you need me there
With you I’ll always share
Because
[Chorus:]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be a friend
Took an oath I’ma stick it out ‘til the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
These fancy things, will never come in between
You’re part of my entity, here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, together we’ll mend your heart
Because
[Chorus]
You can run into my arms
It’s OK, don’t be alarmed
Come here to me (There’s no distance in between our love)
So go on and let the rain pour
I’ll be all you need and mo-ooooore
Because
[Chorus]
It’s raining, raining
Oh, baby it’s raining, raining
Baby, come here to me (Come here to me)
It’s raining, raining
Oh baby it’s raining, raining
You can always come here to me
Come here to me
It’s pourin’ rain, it’s pourin’ rain
Come here to me, Come here to me
It’s pourin’ rain
Tomorrow – From “Annie”
The sun will come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that
Tomorrow
There’ll be sun!
Just thinkin’ about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
‘Til there’s none!
When I’m stuck with a day
That’s gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And grin,
And say,
Oh
The sun’ll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
‘Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
You’re always
A day away!
When I’m stuck with a day
That’s gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And grin,
And say,
Oh
The sun’ll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
‘Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
You’re always
A day away!
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
You’re always
A day
[…]
a-way!
She’s waitin’ by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he’s alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin’ flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls…
And the thunder rolls
[a few extra beats]
[Chorus]
Soak Up The Sun – Sheryl Crow
My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can’t afford his gas
So I’m stuck here watching TV
I don’t have digital
I don’t have diddly squat
It’s not having what you want
It’s wanting what you’ve got
I’m
gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
to lighten up
I’m gonna tell ‘em that
I’ve
got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I’m looking up
I’m gonna soak up the sun
I’m gonna soak up the sun
I’ve got a crummy job
It don’t pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I’m looking up, you’re looking down
Maybe something’s wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy, too
I’m
gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
I’m gonna tell ‘em that
I’ve
got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I’m looking up
I’m gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (to lighten up)
I’m gonna tell ‘em that
I’ve got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I’m looking up (I’m lookin’ up)
I’m
gonna soak up the sun
I got my 45 on
So I
Can rock on
Rock You Like A Hurricane – Scorpions
It’s early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking and pretty loud
My cat is purring and scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin
The bitch is hungry, she needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well
More days to come new places to go
I’ve got to leave
It’s time for a show
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
My body is burning, it starts to shout
Desire is coming it breaks out loud
Lust is in cages, Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He’s licking his lips, he’s ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting
[x2]
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Rock you like a hurricane!
[guitar solo]

Purple Rain – Prince
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
[…]
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal you from another
It’s such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
[…]
It’s time we all reach out for something new That means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can’t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you
to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
If you know what I’m singing about up here
C’mon raise your hand
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you,
only want to see you
In the purple rain
[5 minute guitar solo…we’ll bow out early]

No Rain – Blind Melon
Ooooh
Oooh oooh hooh ooh [x2]
All I can say
Is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain
And all I can do
Is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view
But it’s not sane,
It’s not sa-a-a-ane
I just want someone to say to me,
“I’ll always be there when you wake.” Ye-ah
You know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today*
So stay with me and I’ll have it made
And I don’t understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there’s no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it’s a great escape
Escape...escape...esca-a-a-ape...
[Guitar/dance break]
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don’t like my point of view
You think that I’m insane
It’s not sane...it’s not sa-a-a-ane
I just want someone to say to me, (oh ho oh oh)
“I’ll always be there when you wake.” (yeah yeah)
You know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I’ll have it made
And I’ll have it made
And I’ll have it made
