The Script - Deadman Walking Lyrics

The Script - Deadman Walking Video

I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man
 
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man
 
I see you standing there but you're already gone
I'm holding your hand but you're barely holding on
I'm kissing your lips but it just don't feel the same
Am I a dead man now left living with the blame?
 
Oh, I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
 
Already broken, already gone
Already know you're moving on
(Am I breathing?)
Talking
(Dead man)
Walking
 
Already see it in your face
Already someone in my place
(Am I breathing?)
Talking
(Dead man)
Walking
 
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man
 
We're in the same room just one million miles away
With all these books around but we ain't got two words to say
Am I a dead man now left living with the shame?
 
Already broken, already gone
Already know you're moving on
(Am I breathing?)
Talking
(Dead man)
Walking
 
Already see it in your face
Already someone in my place
(Am I breathing?)
Talking
(Dead man)
Walking
 
Ooh, ooh
(Am I breathing?)
Talking
(Dead man)
Walking
 
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man
 
Already broken, already gone
Already know you're moving on
(Am I breathing?)
Talking
(Dead man)
Walking
 
Already see it in your face
Already someone in my place
(Am I breathing?)
Talking
(Dead man)
Walking
 
Ooh, ooh
(Am I breathing?)
Talking
(Dead man)
Walking
 
Ooh, ooh
(Am I breathing?)
Talking
(Dead man)
Walking
 
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man
 
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man
Now I'm a dead man

Phillip Phillips - A Fool's Dance Lyrics

Phillip Phillips - A Fool's Dance Video

A raindrop hits the edge of the town as there comes more
From the porch to the ceiling, makes its way down to the floor
But I won't worry you won't see
I'm right by you and you by me
As we wake up the night as the thunder roars
 
The staircase could never teach me more
Like life, I climb I fall just to step once more
You tricked me, fooled me. I was yours
Only to act out a game that I did not know
 
Who am I, who are you. What are we anymore?
Just a darkness in my life or like a whole in the floor
Won't you take it all away and I'll take mine to the lord
The angels may fall but never close enough to let me soar
 
Eagles are flying and crows are dying I guess I'll jump quick
Just to see if I still have a chance to live
I played around and around I went but a circle grows old
I guess I'm just another square in this circled world that we call home
 
Who am I, who are you. What are we anymore?
Just a darkness in my life or like a hole in the floor
Won't you take it all away and I'll take mine to the lord
The angels may fall but never close enough to let me soar

On a perfect day

Mary J. Blige - Don't Waste Your Time Lyrics

Mary J. Blige - Don't Waste Your Time Video

Lately I've got this funny feelin'
Somethin' don't feel the same
But he's tellin' me I'm the one to blame
Yes I know that he still gives me good lovin'
But when he's deep inside
There's somebody else on his mind
 
Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more
 
Can't waste my time
Girl, it's not hard to know
Should walk away
Yeah, you've gotta let him go
Seen it a million times before
Shouldn't take his s*** no more
 
Sister girl, sister girl
It's much deeper than what you're thinkin'
When somethin' don't feel the same
You better belive his love has changed
(Yeah, I been tellin' you)
And what your're tellin' me
('Cause it's been hurtin' me)
He's got a sweetie on the side
Stark naked truth and I never lie
 
Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more
 
What's the point of love when you've got no trust?
What's the point of stayin' when you've seen enough?
What's the point of givin what he don't deserve?
He don't deserve it No, he don't deserve it!
 
What's the point of feelin' like there's nothin inside?
What's the point of sayin' that you still got your pride?
What's the point of givin what he don't deserve?
 
Don't waste your time
But it gets so hard to know
Just walk away
You say that I gotta let go
Seen it a million times before
You shouldn't take his stuff no more

Luther Vandross - So Amazing Lyrics

Luther Vandross - So Amazing Video

Love has truly been good to me
Not even one sad day
Or minute have I had since you've come my way
I hope you know I'd gladly go
Anywhere you take me
 
It's so amazing to be loved
I'll follow you to the moon in the sky above
 
Got to tell you how you thrill me
I'm happy as I can be
You have come and changed my whole world
Bye bye sadness hello mellow
What a wonderful day
 
It's so amazing to be loved
I'll follow you to the moon in the sky above
 
And it's so amazing, amazing
I could stay forever, forever
I would leave you never, never
Cause we've got amazing love
Truly it's amazing, amazing
Love brought us together, together
I would leave you never, never
Cause we've got amazing love
 
So amazing and I've been waiting
For a love like you.
 
It's so amazing to be loved
I'll follow you to the moon in the sky above

As I was walkin' by, saw you standin' there with a smile;
Lookin' shy, you caught my eye thought you'd want to hang for a while...
Well, I'd like to be with you, and you know, it's Friday too;
I hope you can find the time this weekend to relax and unwind...

IMx - Pillow Lyrics

IMx - Pillow Video

I asked myself
How can I
Hurt someone that's by my side
Knowing how you would take me back
Beautiful girl from way off track
But leaving me blue
Has made me grow
I played myself I told you so
Its so hard for me to let you go
I page you now and let you know
 
(Chorus)
Some days I wish I was your pillow
And I know exactly how you feel
Every night you cry it rains on me (on your mind is where I want to be)
Some days I wish I was your pillow
And I know exactly how you feel
Every night you cry it rains on me (on your mind is where I want to be)
 
 
I know you deserve much better then me
With a little more time I'm sure I'll be
Ready for your responsibility
Me doing it now would just kiddin me
Now I'm the first to say that I'm wrong
Would of straighten up had I known
That rains days be so long in my heart was my only hope
 
(Repeat chorus)
Some days I wish I was your pillow
And I know exactly how you feel
Every night you cry it rains on me (on your mind is where I want to be)
Some days I wish I was your pillow
And I know exactly how you feel
Every night you cry it rains on me on your mind is where I want to be)

Eminem - Role Model Lyrics

Eminem - Role Model Video

Spoken:
Ok, I'm going to attempt to drown myself.
You can try this at home.
You can be just like me.
Mic check 1 2, we recordin'?
 
 
I'm cancerous, so when I diss you wouldn't wanna answer this
If you responded back with a battle rap you wrote for Canibus
I'll strangle you to death, then I'll choke you again
And break your fuckin' legs till your bones poke through your skin (Ahh)
 
You've beef with me, I'ma even the score equally
Take you on Jerry Springer and beat your ass legally
I get too blunted off of funny home grown
'Cause when I smoke out I hit the trees harder than Sonny Bono (Oh no!)
 
So if I said I never did drugs
That would mean I lie and get fucked more that the president does
Hillary Clinton tried to slap me and call me a pervert
I ripped her fucking tonsils out and fed her sherbert (bitch)
 
My nerves hurt, and lately I'm on edge
Grabbed Vanilla Ice and ripped out his blonde dreads (fucker)
Every girl I ever went out with is goin' les'
Follow me and do exactly what the song says
 
Smoke weed, take pills, drop outta school, kill people and drink
Jump behind wheel like it was still legal
I'm dumb enough to walk in a store and steal
So I'm dumb enough to ask a for date with Lauryn Hill
 
Some people only see that I'm white, ignoring skill
'Cause I stand out like a green hat with an orange bill
But I don't get pissed, y'all don't even see through the mist
How the fuck can I be white, I don't even exist
 
I get a clean shave, bathe, go to a rave
Die from an overdose and dig myself up out of my grave
My middle finger won't go down, how do I wave
And this is how I'm supposed to teach kids how to behave
 
Now follow me and do exactly what you see
Don't you wanna grow up to be just like me
I slap women and eat shrooms, then O.D.
Now don't you wanna grow up to be just like me
 
Me and Marcus Allen went over to see Nicole
When we heard a knock on the door (knock), must've been Ron Gold
Jumped behind the door, put the orgy on hold
Killed 'em both then smeared blood on the white Bronco (We did it!)
 
My mind won't work if my spine don't jerk
I slapped Garth Brooks out of his rhinestone shirt
I'm not a player just an ill rhyme-sayer
That'll spray an aerosol can up at the ozone layer (*psssssssh*)
 
My rap style's warped, I'm runnin' out the morgue
With your dead grandmother's corpse to throw it on your porch (*scream*)
Jumped in a Chickenhawk cartoon with a cape on
And beat up Foghorn Leghorn with an acorn
 
I'm about as normal as Norman Bates, with deformative traits
A premature birth that was four minutes late
Mother, are you there, I love you
I never meant to hit you over the head with that shovel (*evil laugh*)
 
Will someone please explain to my brain
That I just severed a main vein with a chainsaw and I'm in pain
I take a breather and sigh, either I'm high
Or I'm nuts, 'Cause if you ain't tiltin' this room, neither am I
 
So when you see your mom with a thermometer
Shoved in her ass, then it probably is obvious I got it on with her
'Cause when I drop this solo shit it's over with
I bought Cage's tape, opened it and dubbed over it
 
I came to the club drunk and with a fake ID
Don't you wanna grow up to be just like me
I've been with 10 women who got HIV
Now don't you wanna grow up to be just like me
 
I got genital warts and it burns when I pee
Don't you wanna grow up to be just like me
I tie a rope around my penis and jump from a tree
You probably wanna grow up the just like me

Dierks Bentley - How Am I Doin' Lyrics

Dierks Bentley - How Am I Doin' Video

It's strange to hear your voice
I did not expect for you to call
You wonder how I'm doin
How I'm holdin up
Since you did me wrong
 
(chorus)
Well how am I doin' since you did what you done to me?
I can't lie I sometimes cry when I think of how it used to be
I keep my friends with me, I stay busy and I don't get much sleep
Baby, that's how I'm doin since you did what you done to me
 
Well now wait one minute, I
Failed to mention
Those tears I cried, are tears of joy
Cause' it was no fun there
Under your thumb and
Now that we're done I'm
Gettin' ride every night
With every single ever-lovin' girl in sight, so
 
(chorus)
 
Well when all my friends heard what a
You know what you were they
Took me out on the town
But then I heard our song and
I dance along but
It felt all wrong cause'
She was sweet, she let me lead
She never took her ever-lovin' eyes off me so
 
(chorus)
 
Well I don't know what you were thinkin'
Runnin' round on me
Now you say you're sorry
Well honey I agree...so
 
How are you doin' since you did
What you done to me
Girl don't lie you know you cry
Cause' you know how good it used to be
Yeah, tell me does the thought of
Losin' my true love make it hard to sleep, baby

Yeah how are you doin', now that you know
How I'm doin since you did
What you done to me
