Why Can’t I Be You?

(Beginning lyrics)

I got those fingers up and down my spine
Those same old fingers when your heart meets mine
It’s witchcraft
It’s witchcraft

Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on earth to be young at heart
But as rich as you are
It’s much better by far to be young at heart

And life is more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way

Everybody wants to be a cat
Co cat’s the only cat that knows where it’s at
Everybody’s picking up on that feline beat
Cause everything else is obsolete

The square with a horn makes you wish you weren’t born (deep voice)
Every time he plays
With the square in the act you can set music back
To the caveman day

Same old me hold you alone
When this
Can’t I (Whispers)
Can’t I
Can’t I
Can’t I
Can’t I
Be you

Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you?
Why
Can’t I
Can’t I be
Can I be you
You be you be you

Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you?

Simply elegant

Faith

“It’s like there’s two different ways of looking at things, then I think it doesn’t make any fucking difference at all anyway. So if you were like stuck in the same place, and it wouldn’t make any difference where you were to die, like now with a coin stuck right in the middle of your head, or if you were prepared to go and say, I need to sing a song, called Faith and someone says you can’t…someone says you can’t sing it, so what would you do? This is for everyone that died today in China. It’s called Faith.”

(Beginning lyrics)

It makes me sick
If I would dare this
It makes me think
I would dare this

Someone walks up to you and is so much bigger than you
You say shut your fucking face
You can grab a hold of their eyes and go…
And they will fall down in front of you
Fall down in front of you

It’s so much different if a man walks up and he’s this high
He says shut your fucking face
And holds a gun to my mouth

What would I do?
What would I do?
What would you do?

He won’t let me speak
He says “You can only say the word yes”
“If I ask you a question and you say no
I’ll shoot the back out of your fucking head”

He says “Do you love me, do you love me?”
I’ll say…
I’ll say…
I’ll say…

He’s this small, this far away
He says “I’m fucking waiting for your answer
Answer me now”
“Do you love me? Do you love me?”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! (Screams)
I say no! Of course I fucking don’t love you!! (Screams)
Course I fucking don’t love you!! (Screams)

Walk into the room
Push anything in my face
Anything in my mouth
I’ll never fucking love you!!

I push this deep inside your head
I push this deep inside your head

This means nothing!! (Screams)
Means nothing!! (Screams)
(Guitar fill)
