4. Same Mistake
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet.
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go.
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.
And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
Said hed seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.
And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Dont buy the promises cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go.
Im not calling for a second chance,
Im screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but dont give me choice.
Cause Ill just make the same mistake,
Im not calling for a second chance,
Im screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but dont give me choice.
Cause Ill just make the same mistake again.
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars.
Look at the stars fall down.
And wonder where did I go wrong.

8. Shine On
And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight,
And someones little girl was taken from the world tonight,
Under the Stars and Stripes.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
Im watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and Ill carry you home.
Ill carry you home.

And some day soon theyll drop the bomb and let it all out. Someday.
I know that someday soon well all be gone so let it all out.
Let it all out today.
And give me some love,
Yeah, give me some love,
Come on, give me some love today.

With thanks to Linda Perry
I really want you. I really want you. I really want you - now.
No matter what I say or do, the message isnt getting through,
And youre listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
I really want you. I really want you.
Is a poor man rich in solitude, or will Mother Earth complain?
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day, but Lady Luck for rain?
They say a million people bow and scrape to an effigy of gold.
I saw life begin and the ship were in and history unfold.
I really want you to really want me but I really dont know if you can do that.
I know you want to know whats right but I know its so hard for you to do that.
And times running out as often it does and often dictates that you cant do that.
But fate cant break this feeling inside thats burning up through my veins.
I really want you. I really want you. I really want you - now.
No matter what I say or do, the message isnt getting through,
And youre listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
No matter what I say or do, the message isnt getting through,
And youre listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
I really want you. I really want you. I really want you - now.
No matter what I say or do, the message isnt getting through,
And youre listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
No matter what I say or do, the message isnt getting through,
And youre listening to the sound of my breaking heart.

9. Annie
Cause Annie youre a star, thats just not going very far.
And all the world will know your name,
And youll be famous as you are cause Ill sing for you.
Annie, would it be nice to be recognised?
And did you practise your autograph but now no ones asked and its such a shame,
That the dreams are crumbling?
Annie, why arent you bathed in the limelight?
Cause I thought that you said youd be a celebrity several years ago.
Did it all come tumbling down, down. Will you go down on me?
Cause Annie youre a star, thats just not going very far.
And all the world will know your name,
And youll be famous as you are cause Ill sing for you.
