The Boston Drama by TYPECAST

 

Standard pick-up lines that seems to wreck your bones

Can this be a sequel of my dying hope?

Chasing down a never ending make-believe

But you're a perfect match of consistency

Will you come back in a heartbeat?

Don't be confused of what a great thing we can be

We'll take a walk on the same street

Can you tell me how Boston is like without me?

You're image is stamp beneath the insides of my heart

Now you're gone I don't know where to start

The evidence is showing like a stable apprehension

But you're the only one who's apt for this affection

Will you come back in a heartbeat?

Don't be confused of what a great thing we could be

We'll take a walk on the same street

Can you tell me how Boston is like without me?

    this is mine..

    try to guess!!!

     

    Girl, you are to me, all that a woman should be,

    And I dedicate my life to you always.

    A love like yours is rare,

    It must have been sent from up above

    And I know you'll stay this way, for always

    And we both know, that our love will grow

    And forever it will be you and me

    Ooh you're like the sun,

    Chasing all of the rain away,

    When you come around you bring a brighter day

    You're the perfect one

    For me and you forever will be

    And I will love you so for always

    Come with me my sweet,

    Let's go make a family,

    And they will bring us joy, for always

    Oh boy I love your so,

    I can't find enough ways to let you know

    But you can be sure I'm yours, for always

    And we both know, that our love will grow

    And forever it will be you and me

    Ooh you're like the sun,

    Chasing all of the rain away,

    When you come around you bring a brighter day

    You're the perfect one

    For me and you forever will be

    And I will love you so for always

    Ooooooh, I will love you so for always

    llse De Lange I'll be Yours



    If I were a ghost I'd haunt your house

    Hang out in your rafters

    You could be my mister Adams

    I could be your Casper

    I'd shake with you my afterlife of the unexplained

    Walk through your walls let you rattle my chains

    Yes I would



    And if I were a snake I'd be a constrictor

    Slicker than oil

    I'd entice you with my slither wrap you in my coils

    You could tie me in a thousand knots

    And just watch me unfold

    Hypnotize you with my stare swallow you whole

    Think about it



    Welcome to my world of make believe

    Check your reality at the door

    Within my wishes and my wildest dreams

    If I could be anything

    Well baby, I'd be yours



    And if I were a bird I'd be an owl

    Wise beyond my years

    Watch over you each night, calm you of your fears

    You could set my head to spinnin'

    With those little things you do

    Like sayin' it was me you loved

    When I asked you



    Welcome to my world of make believe

    Check your reality at the door

    Within my wishes and my wildest dreams

    If I could be anything

    Well baby, I'd be yours

    Baby Got Back by Sir Mixalot

    Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt.

    It is so big. *scoff* She looks like,

    one of those rap guys' girlfriends.

    But, you know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff*

    They only talk to her, because,

    she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?

    I mean, her butt, is just so big.

    I can't believe it's just so round, it's like,

    out there, I mean - gross. Look!

    She's just so ... black!

    [Sir Mix-a-Lot]

    I like big butts and I can not lie

    You other brothers can't deny

    That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist

    And a round thing in your face

    You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough

    'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed

    Deep in the jeans she's wearing

    I'm hooked and I can't stop staring

    Oh baby, I wanna get with you

    And take your picture

    My homeboys tried to warn me

    But that butt you got makes me so horny

    Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin

    You say you wanna get in my Benz?

    Well, use me, use me

    'Cause you ain't that average groupie

    I've seen them dancin'

    To hell with romancin'

    She's sweat, wet,

    Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette

    I'm tired of magazines

    Sayin' flat butts are the thing

    Take the average black man and ask him that

    She gotta pack much back

    So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)

    Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)

    Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)

    Shake that healthy butt!

    Baby got back!

    (LA face with Oakland booty)

    Baby got back!

    [Sir Mix-a-Lot]

    I like 'em round, and big

    And when I'm throwin' a gig

    I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal

    Now here's my scandal

    I wanna get you home

    And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh

    I ain't talkin' bout Playboy

    'Cause silicone parts are made for toys

    I want 'em real thick and juicy

    So find that juicy double

    Mix-a-Lot's in trouble

    Beggin' for a piece of that bubble

    So I'm lookin' at rock videos

    Knock-kneeded bimbos walkin' like hoes

    You can have them bimbos

    I'll keep my women like Flo Jo

    A word to the thick soul sisters, I wanna get with ya

    I won't cuss or hit ya

    But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *fuck*

    Till the break of dawn

    Baby got it goin' on

    A lot of simps won't like this song

    'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it

    And I'd rather stay and play

    'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong

    And I'm down to get the friction on

    So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}

    If you wanna roll in my Mercedes {Yeah!}

    Then turn around! Stick it out!

    Even white boys got to shout

    Baby got back!

    Baby got back!

    Yeah, baby ... when it comes to females, Cosmo ain't got nothin'

    to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she's 5'3".

    [Sir Mix-a-Lot]

    So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda

    But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda

    My anaconda don't want none

    Unless you've got buns, hun

    You can do side bends or sit-ups,

    But please don't lose that butt

    Some brothers wanna play that "hard" role

    And tell you that the butt ain't gold

    So they toss it and leave it

    And I pull up quick to retrieve it

    So Cosmo says you're fat

    Well I ain't down with that!

    'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'

    And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'

    To the beanpole dames in the magazines:

    You ain't it, Miss Thing!

    Give me a sister, I can't resist her

    Red beans and rice didn't miss her

    Some knucklehead tried to dis

    'Cause his girls are on my list

    He had game but he chose to hit 'em

    And I pull up quick to get wit 'em

    So ladies, if the butt is round,

    And you want a triple X throw down,

    Dial 1-900-MIXALOT

    And kick them nasty thoughts

    Baby got back!

    (Little in the middle but she got much back) [4x]

    chorus:

    I was way too young when i left your side

    though i doubt it much it would have changed

    my stray ways

    if i had lingered on

    oh i miss her heart and i hope it heals

    I've seen it bleed when i wasn't supposed to see

    it was not for me

     

    I miss her heart and I hope it heals. 

    I’ve seen her bleed when I wasn’t supposed to see,

    it was not for me. You should grow up with a strong heartbeat,

    to follow you in your moments of fear, and solitude. 

    I was way too young when I left your side.

    ATM my favorite song is

    Night train - Guns & Roses

    Loaded like a freight train

    Flyin' like an aeroplane

    Feelin' like a space brain

    One more time tonight

    Well I'm a west coast struttin'

    One bad mother

    Got a rattlesnake suitcase

    Under my arm

    Said I'm a mean machine

    Been drinkin' gasoline

    And honey you can make my motor hum

    I got one chance left

    In a nine live cat

    I got a dog eat dog sly smile

    I got a Molotov cocktail

    With a match to go

    I smoke my cigarette with style

    An I can tell you honey

    You can make my money tonight

    Wake up late

    Honey put on your clothes

    Take your credit card

    to the liquor store

    That's one for you and

    two for me by tonight

    I'll be loaded like a freight train

    Flyin' like an aeroplane

    Feelin' like a space brain

    One more time tonight

    I'm on the nightrain

    Bottoms up

    I'm on the nightrain

    Fill my cup

    I'm on the nightrain

    Ready to crash and burn

    I never learn

    I'm on the nightrain

    I love that stuff

    I'm on the nightrain

    I can never get enough

    I'm on the nightrain

    Never to return-no

    Loaded like a freight train

    Flyin' like an aeroplane

    Speedin' like a space brain

    One more time tonight

    I'm on the nightrain

    And I'm lookin' for some

    I'm on the nightrain

    So's I can leave this slum

    I'm on the nightrain

    And I'm ready to crash and burn

    Nightrain

    Bottoms up

    I'm on the nightrain

    Fill my cup

    I'm on the nightrain

    Whoa yeah

    I'm on the nightrain

    Love that stuff

    I'm on the nightrain

    An I can never get enough

    Ridin' the nightrain

    I guess I

    I guess, I guess, I guess

    I never learn

    On the nightrain

    Float me home

    Ooh I'm on the nightrain

    Ridin' the nightrain

    Never to return

    Nightrain

    H. by Tool

     

    What's coming through is alive.

    What's holding up is a mirror.

    But what's singing songs is a snake

    Looking to turn my piss to wine.

    They're both totally void of hate,

    But killing me just the same.

    The snake behind me hisses

    What my damage could have been.

    My blood before me begs me

    Open up my heart again.

    And I feel this coming over like a storm again.

    Considerately.

    Venomous voice, tempts me,

    Drains me, bleeds me,

    Leaves me cracked and empty.

    Drags me down like some sweet gravity.

    The snake behind me hisses

    What my damage could have been.

    My blood before me begs me

    Open up my heart again.

    And I feel this coming over like a storm again now.

    And I feel this coming over like a storm again now.

    I am too connected to you

    To slip away, fade away.

    Days away I still feel you

    Touching me, changing me,

    Considerately killing me.

    Considerately killing me.

    Considerately killing me.

    Considerately killing me.

    Without the skin here,

    Beneath the storm.

    Under these tears now,

    The walls came down.

    And as the snake is drowned

    And as I look in his eyes,

    My fear begins to fade

    Recalling all of those times.

    I could have cried then.

    I should have cried then.

    And as the walls come down

    And as I look in your eyes

    My fear begins to fade

    Recalling all of the times

    I have died

    and will die.

    It's all right.

    (I don't mind)

    I don't mind.

    I don't mind.

    I don't mind.

    I am too connected to you

    To slip away, fade away.

    Days away I still feel you

    Touching me, changing me,

    Considerately killing me.

    Considerately killing me and

    Considerately killing me.

     

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    It changes all the time but for now

    Bauhaus - She's in Parties

    Learning lines in the rain

    Special effects by Loonatik and Drinks

    The graveyard scene

    The golden years

    She's in parties

    It's in the can (twice)

    Freeze frame screen kiss

    Hot heads under silent wigs

    Fall guys tumble on the cutting room floor

    Look-a-likes fall on the cutting room door

    She's in parties

    It's in the can (twice)

    Learning lines in the rain

    Special effects by Loonatik and drinks

    Freeze frame, screen kiss, hot heads, lights and power

    It's patently obvious

    She's in parties

    It's in the can (twice)

    Hot lines under a rain of drum

    Cigarette props in action

    Dialogue dub, now heres the rub

    She's acting her reaction

    She's in parties

    It's in the can

     

    Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit

    Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

     

    Hello.

    Is there anybody in there?

    Just nod if you can hear me.

    Is there anyone home?

    Come on, now.

    I hear youre feeling down.

    Well I can ease your pain,

    Get you on your feet again.

    Relax.

    I need some information first.

    Just the basic facts:

    Can you show me where it hurts?

    There is no pain, you are receding.

    A distant ships smoke on the horizon.

    You are only coming through in waves.

    Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.

    When I was a child I had a fever.

    My hands felt just like two balloons.

    Now I got that feeling once again.

    I cant explain, you would not understand.

    This is not how I am.

    I have become comfortably numb.

    Ok.

    Just a little pinprick. [ping]

    Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!

    But you may feel a little sick.

    Can you stand up?

    I do believe its working. good.

    Thatll keep you going for the show.

    Come on its time to go.

    There is no pain, you are receding.

    A distant ships smoke on the horizon.

    You are only coming through in waves.

    Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.

    When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,

    Out of the corner of my eye.

    I turned to look but it was gone.

    I cannot put my finger on it now.

    The child is grown, the dream is gone.

    I have become comfortably numb.

    So hard to pinpoint just one individual song.  It would have to be either:

    Parabol/Parabola -- Tool

    Burn - NIN

    Elderly Woman Behind a Counter in a Small Town --  Pearl Jam

    I Remember You -- Skid Row

    Carmina Burana -- Carl Orff

    Something I Can Never Have (Still version) -- NIN

     

     

    And soooooo many others......

    This is a question that's impossible for me to answer. However, if I absolutely had to choose one song, to be the only song I could listen to for the rest of my life, I'd have to choose:

    Stairway to Heaven - The absolute best musical composition of modern rock.

                                  OR

    It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding - The absolute best lyrical composition of modern folk.

  • qazymanqazyman Member Posts: 1,785

    If I had to pick a favorite it would be this, don't know why just is: Rush - Red Barchetta

    My uncle has a country place, that no one knows about

    He says it used to be a farm, before the motor law

    And on sundays I elude the eyes and hop the turbine freight

    To far outside the wire, where my white-haired uncle waits.

    Jump to the ground

    As the turbo slows to cross the borderline

    Run like the wind,

    As excitement shivers up and down my spine

    Down in his barn

    My uncle preserved for me, an old machine ---

    For fifty-odd years

    To keep it as new has been his dearest dream

    I strip away the old debris, that hides a shining car

    A brilliant red barchetta, from a better, vanished time

    I fire up the willing engine, responding with a roar

    Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime...

    Wind in my hair ---

    Shifting and drifting ---

    Mechanical music ---

    Adrenalin surge ---

    Well-weathered leather

    Hot metal and oil

    The scented country air

    Sunlight on chrome

    The blur of the landscape

    Every nerve aware

    Suddenly, ahead of me, across the mountainside

    A gleaming alloy air-car shoots towards me, two lanes wide

    I spin around with shrieking tires, to run the deadly race

    Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase

    Drive like the wind

    Straining the limits of machine and man

    Laughing out loud

    With fear and hope, Ive got a desperate plan

    At the one-lane bridge

    I leave the giants stranded

    At the riverside

    Race back to the farm

    To dream with my uncle

    At the fireside...

    My favourite song is "The Sacreligious Scorn" by Dimmu Borgir...

    "Have I not

    Been too long in the shadows of invention and creation

    As I rightfully behold the flesh

    Fear of the conscious mind will have you facing away

    My word and world holds ground and is real

    Your word is like floods of poisoned water

    A language spoken with spit from different tongues

    It all seems like an eternity

    This battle between us two

    "Good and evil"

    Me and you

    Time has come to step up

    And take back what you took from me

    My word and world holds ground and is real

    Your word is like floods of poisoned water

    A language spoken with spit from different tongues

    You can never corrupt me again

    Time has come to step up

    And take back what you took from me

    You can never corrupt me again

    I protect every man guilty of sin

    The ultimate sin being me

    The vapor from the plague

    That infested my mind, body and soul

    Obscured my view from wisdom

    The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared

    And troubles me no more"

     

     

    Best song ever.

    -Three things matter in life. Money, money and money-

    I agree that the question should be impossible to answer for any music afficianado.  But you don't even have the best songs posted from their respective artists.  Try these:

    Zepplin

    Dylan

    As far as my favorite songs go, I'm already on record as saying that The Who is my favorite group and my favorite Who song is probably Love, Reign O'er Me.  So that one would definitely be up there.

    Without question, one of my all-time favorite songs is, Canon in D.  That song puts me in a trance.  There are many more.  I may post them as they come to mind.

    Well, music always is subjective. What one person finds pleasing to listen to, another may not. Over the Hills is probably my third favorite Zeppelin song, behind Stairway and Tangerine, although Kashmir and In the Evening would be up there too.

     

    Where Dylan is concerned, you can't really argue that Tangled Up In Blue is a better lyrical composition than It's Alright Ma. One song is far more difficult to structure than the other. Hell, It's Alright Ma would be more difficult to structure even if it had absolutely no meaning whatsoever. If you stop to think about everything between the rhyme schemes, it's nothing less than epic on the lyrical scale.



    Darkness at the break of noon

    Shadows even the silver spoon

    The handmade blade, the child's balloon

    Eclipses both the sun and moon

    To understand you know too soon

    There is no sense in trying.

    Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn

    Suicide remarks are torn

    From the fool's gold mouthpiece

    The hollow horn plays wasted words

    Proves to warn

    That he not busy being born

    Is busy dying.

    Temptation's page flies out the door

    You follow, find yourself at war

    Watch waterfalls of pity roar

    You feel to moan but unlike before

    You discover

    That you'd just be

    One more person crying.

    So don't fear if you hear

    A foreign sound to your ear

    It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.

    As some warn victory, some downfall

    Private reasons great or small

    Can be seen in the eyes of those that call

    To make all that should be killed to crawl

    While others say don't hate nothing at all

    Except hatred.

    Disillusioned words like bullets bark

    As human gods aim for their mark

    Made everything from toy guns that spark

    To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark

    It's easy to see without looking too far

    That not much

    Is really sacred.

    While preachers preach of evil fates

    Teachers teach that knowledge waits

    Can lead to hundred-dollar plates

    Goodness hides behind its gates

    But even the president of the United States

    Sometimes must have

    To stand naked.

    An' though the rules of the road have been lodged

    It's only people's games that you got to dodge

    And it's alright, Ma, I can make it.

    Advertising signs that con you

    Into thinking you're the one

    That can do what's never been done

    That can win what's never been won

    Meantime life outside goes on

    All around you.

    You lose yourself, you reappear

    You suddenly find you got nothing to fear

    Alone you stand with nobody near

    When a trembling distant voice, unclear

    Startles your sleeping ears to hear

    That somebody thinks

    They really found you.

    A question in your nerves is lit

    Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy

    Insure you not to quit

    To keep it in your mind and not forget

    That it is not he or she or them or it

    That you belong to.

    Although the masters make the rules

    For the wise men and the fools

    I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

    For them that must obey authority

    That they do not respect in any degree

    Who despise their job, their destiny

    Speak jealously of them that are free

    Cultivate their flowers to be

    Nothing more than something

    They invest in.

    While some on principles baptized

    To strict party platform ties

    Social clubs in drag disguise

    Outsiders they can freely criticize

    Tell nothing except who to idolize

    And then say God bless him.

    While one who sings with his tongue on fire

    Gargles in the rat race choir

    Bent out of shape from society's pliers

    Cares not to come up any higher

    But rather get you down in the hole

    That he's in.

    But I mean no harm nor put fault

    On anyone that lives in a vault

    But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.

    Old lady judges watch people in pairs

    Limited in sex, they dare

    To push fake morals, insult and stare

    While money doesn't talk, it swears

    Obscenity, who really cares

    Propaganda, all is phony.

    While them that defend what they cannot see

    With a killer's pride, security

    It blows the minds most bitterly

    For them that think death's honesty

    Won't fall upon them naturally

    Life sometimes

    Must get lonely.

    My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards

    False gods, I scuff

    At pettiness which plays so rough

    Walk upside-down inside handcuffs

    Kick my legs to crash it off

    Say okay, I've had enough

    What else can you show me?

    And if my thought-dreams could be seen

    They'd probably put my head in a guillotine

    But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only.

    It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding - The absolute best lyrical composition of modern folk.



     I agree that the question should be impossible to answer for any music afficianado.  But you don't even have the best songs posted from their respective artists.  Try these:

    Zepplin

    Dylan

     Well, music always is subjective. What one person finds pleasing to listen to, another may not. Over the Hills is probably my third favorite Zeppelin song, behind Stairway and Tangerine, although Kashmir and In the Evening would be up there too.

    I'm just foolin' with ya.  I know tastes in music is entirely subjective.  That's why so much of it out there is bad.  I can respect your choice for favorite Zepplin song, so long as it's not Hot Dog.  The thing about Led Zepplin is that they have so many good songs, almost everyone has a different favorite by them.  For me Over the Hills just barely edges out When the Levee Breaks and Hey Hey What Can I Do.  And Thank You is one of my favorite love songs.  I also agree with you on In the Evening.  The only reason I don't put Stairway to Heaven near the top of my favorite Zepplin songs (or one reason - I honestly don't think it's as good as these others I listed) is that it has been so over-hyped over the years.

    Going back to Dylan, regardless of which song of his you like best, even though he's known primarily as a musician, I think he is unquestionably one of the greatest poets who has ever lived.

    Evanescence - Bring Me to Life



    How can you see into my eyes like open doors

    Leading you down into my core

    Where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold

    Until you find it there and lead it back home

    (Wake me up)

    Wake me up inside

    (I can’t wake up)

    Wake me up inside

    (Save me)

    Call my name and save me from the dark

    (Wake me up)

    Bid my blood to run

    (I can’t wake up)

    Before I come undone

    (Save me)

    Save me from the nothing I’ve become

    Now that I know what I’m without

    You can't just leave me

    Breathe into me and make me real

    Bring me to life

    (Wake me up)

    Wake me up inside

    (I can’t wake up)

    Wake me up inside

    (Save me)

    Call my name and save me from the dark

    (Wake me up)

    bid my blood to run

    (I can’t wake up)

    Before I come undone

    (Save me)

    Save me from the nothing I’ve become

    Bring me to life

    (I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)

    Bring me to life

    Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

    All this time I can't believe I couldn't see

    Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me

    I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems

    Got to open my eyes to everything

    Without a thought without a voice without a soul

    Don't let me die here

    There must be something more

    Bring me to life

    (Wake me up)

    Wake me up inside

    (I can’t wake up)

    Wake me up inside

    (Save me)

    Call my name and save me from the dark

    (Wake me up)

    Bid my blood to run

    (I can’t wake up)

    Before I come undone

    (Save me)

    Save me from the nothing I’ve become

    (Bring me to life)

    I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside

    (Bring me to life)

    Oh, here's one.  I'm not that big of an Elvis fan, but this little ditty of his is a gem.  And how ironic is it that I just discovered that Zepplin sings a version of it?  Pretty cool.

    Finally Free by DREAMTHEATER

     



    Friday evening

    The blood still on my hands

    To think that she would leave me now

    For that grateful man

    Sole survivor

    No witness to the crime

    I must act fast to over up

    I think that there`s still time

    He`d seem hopeless and lost with this note

    They`ll buy into the words that I wrote

    " This feeling inside me

    Finally found my love, I`ve finally broke free

    No longer torn in two

    I`d take my own life before losing you"



    Feeling good this friday afternoon

    I ran into Julian

    Said we`d get together soon

    He`s always had my heart

    He needs to know

    I`ll break free of the Miracle

    It`s time for him to go

    This feeling inside me

    Finally found my love, I`ve finally broke free

    No longer torn in two

    He`d kill his brother if he only knew

    Their love renewed

    They`d rendezvous

    In a pathway out of view

    They thought no one knew

    They came a shot out of the night



    One last time

    We`ll lay down today

    One last time

    Until we fade away

    One last time

    We`ll lay down today

    One last time

    We slowly fade away

    As their bodies lie still

    And the ending draws near

    Spirits rise through the air

    All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear

    A blinding light comes into view

    An old soul exchanged for a new

    A familiar voice comes shining through



    This feeling inside me

    Finally found my love, I`m finally free

    No longer torn in two

    I learned about my lie by living through you

    This feeling inside me

    Finally found my love, I`ve finally broke free

    No longer torn in two

    Living my own life by learning from you

    We`ll meet again my friend someday soon

    "Jesus Take The Wheel lyrics

    She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati

    On a snow white Christmas Eve

    Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat

    Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline

    It'd been a long hard year

    She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention

    she was going way too fast

    Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass

    She saw both their lives flash before her eyes

    She didn't even have time to cry

    She was sooo scared

    She threw her hands up in the air

    Jesus take the wheel

    Take it from my hands

    Cause I can't do this on my own

    I'ma let it go

    So give me one more chance

    To save me from this road I'm on

    Jesus take the wheel

    It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder

    And the car came to a stop

    She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock

    And for the first time in a long time

    She bowed her head to pray

    She said I'm sorry for the way

    I've been living my life

    I know I've got to change

    So from now on tonight

    Jesus take the wheel

    Take it from my hands

    Cause I can't do this on my own

    I'm letting go

    So give me one more chance

    To save me from this road I'm on

    Oh, Jesus take the wheel

    Oh, I'm letting go

    So give me one more chance

    Save me from this road I'm on

    From this road I'm on

    Jesus take the wheel

    Oh, take it, take it from me

    Oh, why, oh

    "
