Lisa's Counting Crows Shrine

Viper Room-Los Angeles, CA 1995

Mary stands on the street
by the corner where I used to live,
says its all the same to her these days
"There are animals, there are animals
inside me" she says
And Mary walks down the street,
by the place where I used to live
She says "It's all the
same to me these days,
there are people inside me,
there are people inside me
I used to know"...
...She lives alone on her
private archipelago
with her palm trees and her seashells
She sits in the waves all day
She's scared of dyin',
she wants to keep it that way
She sends a boat out on the sea,
with a little note from me
It says "Why are all
the girls so hungry?"
La-la-la-la-la-lala,
la-la-lala-la-la-la, na-na
Why are all the girls so hungry?
Why are all the girls so hungry?
Why? Why? Why?

Why are all the girls,
why are all the girls,
why are all the girls so hungry?
La-la-la-la-la-lala,
la-la-lala-la-la-la,
la-la-lala-la,
La-la-la-la-la-lala, la-la

Hollywood Grand-Los Angeles, CA 11/16/95

I don't wanna be alone
All the little memories
bring this whole thing back to me
Glad to be here, gee it's good,
guess I belong in Hollywood
Sometimes you do the best you can,
sometimes you stand up straight
Sometimes you try to do
the things that hurt you,
sometimes you stand up straight
Sometimes it's just because I love you,
sometimes I stand up straight
I guess I should love myself a little more,
oh, what the fuck,
you know I'll stand up straight
"Hey come on, why don't
you try and take a shot?"
She says "Can't you see
my walls just crumblin' down?"
She says "For you, I would take my walls
and just throw them on the ground"...

Ford Theater-Los Angeles, CA 9/8/96

...She comes up out of the blue,
something she never used to do
She found herself involved with
the crack in the wall of her bedroom
When the pocket-watch stopped
she thought to turn the hands backwards
Visualize the speed of light,
slip back into her vacuum,
slip back into her vacuum,
slip back into her vacuum
Guess I'm tired of going home,
guess I'm tired of going home,
guess I'm tired of going home,
I'm tired of going home
Take a little piece of me,
put it on the counter there,
take a little bite,
take a little bite
Take a little piece of me,
put it in the oven there,
take another bite of me,
take another bite of me
Take a little piece of me,
put it in your cupboard there,
go on, lock the door on me,
come on, lock the door on me
Take another piece of me,
throw it in the closet it there,
go on, throw away the key
Take another piece of me,
what are you afraid of?
Don't you wanna see me?
Don't you wanna hurt me?
Don't you wanna heal me?
Don't you wanna another
fuckin' piece of me?
Don't you wanna see me?
Don't you wanna be me?
Don't you wanna be me?

Wiltern Theater-Los Angeles, CA 12/21/96

he screen door slams and
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision, she dances a
cross the porch while the radio plays
Roy Orbison sang for
when you're lonely,
ey that's me and I want you only
Hey that's me and I want you only,
hey that's me and I want you,
hey that's me and I want you..
I woke up Wednesday morning
Sometime Wednesday evening,
hoping for a piece of
something easy to believe
When you live out on the
border of everything and nothing
There's nothing but waking and dreaming
I'm barely out of Tuesday,
there's no-one to receive me,
nothing is changing
Maybe you could leave a light on?
Maybe you could leave a light on?
Maybe you could leave a light on for me?
Can you see her waiting there
down by the sea?
There's a light on but
there's no-one there for me
If you see me coming home,
just turn me away
Cause everybody tries to
go back somewhere someday
Well could you leave a light on cause
everybody tries to go back
somewhere someday
Come on leave the light on
Said "Everybody tries to go back
somewhere someday"

Would you leave a light on?
Come on leave a light on,
come on leave the light on
for me, for me, for me
She lives alone on her
private archipelago
with her palm trees and her seashells
She sits in the waves all day
Just like she's scared of dying,
well fuck, I'm scared of dying
She sends a boat out on the sea
with a little note for me
It says "Why are
all the girls so hungry?"
Says "Why are all the girls so hungry?"
So why are all the boys so lonely?
Why can't anybody see me?
Why can't anybody hear me?
Why won't anyone believe me?
And why does everybody leave me?
Why does everbody leave me?
Why does everbody leave me?
la-la-la

Marcus Amphitheater-Milwaukee, WI 9/12/00

This is a song about growing up
and wanting to be a rock star
And all the dreams that go with that
which is certainly something
that applies to everyone on stage tonight
specifically this is about
me and Immy living in a warehouse
down by the ocean by berkley
This is a story about what its like
to grow up on 4th street
Just across the street from an ink factory
Where Third street is a railroad track
And Second Street is a dirt road
First street is a frontage road
And then theres the bay and San Francisco
And then the Pacific Ocean
all the way out to Japan
And all that area is just
filled with kids like us
Dreaming about flamenco dancers
and being rock and roll stars
And shit, it's ten years later
and we're standing here in Milwaukee
And goddamn, we're rock and roll stars

You got a lot of nerve
To be standing here in front of me
with your white walls
and your black jeans
and the crazy things you've seen
you got a lot of nerve
to be right inside this dream
when i wake up from you
when i wake up from me
I will walk along these hillsides
In the summer neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight
Falling down on me
I will walk along these hillsides
In the summer neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight
Falling down on me
I will walk along these hillsides
In the summer neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight
Falling down on me
I will walk along these hillsides
In the summer neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight
Falling down on me
Dont you feel like you can fly
I am feathered by the moonlight
Dont you feel like you can fly
Dont you feel like you can fly
I am feathered by the moonlight
I am feathered by the moonlight
Come on let me see your eyes
I am feathered by the moonlight
Come on take off all your clothes
come on get on your knees moonlight
Come on take off all your clothes
Shhh
Come on take off all your clothes
Come on baby take off all your clothes

I am feathered by the moonlight
Come on take off all your clothes
Come on take off all your clothes
I am feathered by the moonlight

Get a blue sky, try to keep it here
Try to keep it in between you
and the things you fear
keep it in your heart
And then get a green sky
and stick it in your head?????
Instead you get a gray sky,
you can't get it out of your head,
get the grey sky out of my head

St. Dennis Theater-Montreal, QB 8/19/94

She puts her head down
into the waterfall
She lies her head out on the water
Says "Come on, wash over me"
She says she can hear the rain
outside her window
She can hear the rain but she's dreaming,
she's dreaming, she's dreaming...

Beacon Theater-NYC, NY 12/9/96

Woke up Wednesday morning
Staring at the ceiling,
hoping for deliverance from
the distances in you
This room feels like an oven,
somewhere south of nowhere,
somewhere north of nothing
I'm barely out of Tuesday,
I see 7 hours of Wednesday,
nothing is changing
Maybe you could leave the light on?
Maybe you could leave the light on?
Maybe you could leave the light on for me?
Can you see her waiting
there down by the sea?
With a hat on, above her eyes,
looking for me?
If you see me coming home,
don't turn me away 'cause
Y'know everybody tries
to go back somewhere someday
I woke up Wednesday morning
Sometime Wednesday evening,
just looking for a piece of
something easy to believe
When you live out on the border
of everything and nothing
There's nothing but waking, and dreamin'
I'm barely out of Tuesday,
there's no-one to recieve me
and nothing is changing
Maybe you could leave the light on?
Maybe you could leave the light on for me?
Oh, can you see her waiting
there down by the sea?
Yeah cause there's a light on
but there's no-one there for me
If you see me coming home,
turn me away
Cause everybody tries to
go back somewhere someday
Could you leave the light on?
Everbody tries to go back
somewhere someday
So come on, leave the light on, you see,
everbody tries to go back
somewhere someday
Why dont you leave a light on?
Come on leave the light on,
come on leave the light on
Could you leave a light on
for me, for me, for me?...

She lives alone on her
private archipelago

It says "Why are all
the girls so hungry?"
Says "Why are all the girls so hungry?"
Yeah, and why are all the boys so lonely?
And why can't anybody see me?
Why can't anybody see me?
Could you leave the light on?
God, would you leave the light on?
Would you leave the light on for me

But I know, I know,

She said "Do you think
that you were dreamin'?"
I said "No"
She said "Did you think
that you were dreamin'?"
I said "No"
She said "Did you think
that you were dreamin'?"
And I said "Sometimes I don't know"
Cause, because I was
out on the radio,

somewhere out in America
it's just starting to rain,
could you tell me
one thing you'll remember about me?

Go to sleep little angel,
go to sleep little one
Go to sleep little baby
and dream about the angels ????
If you can see me in your sleep,
if you can hear me when you dream
Go to sleep little angel,
everything is not the way that it seems
You take a green sky,
you stick it in your head,
try to keep it there,
close it off from all the air
You take a blue sky,
and you stick it in your heart
Try and find the key
that locks it all away from me
And then you get a gray sky
and you stick it in your head,
you stick it in your head,
you stick it in your head
I got a gray sky and
I can’t get it out of my head
I got a gray sky and
I can’t get it out of my head
So where’s your blue sky baby,

"Shut up" she said
"Shut up" she said
"I don’t want more of you

You could find a million things to say"
"Shut up" she said,
"Cause I don’t want no more of you
It’s the last I’ve had of you and
that’s the last I want of you"
She said "Ring, ring,
ring, ring my bell,
ring, ring, ring, ring my front doorbell"
"Ring, ring, ring my bell"

Bowery Ballroom-NYC, NY 7/13/02

Cause then you walk outside
and the sun is not shining
and your hair stands up on end
it's like electricity
and your hair stands up on end
it's like electricity
Come on in out of the lightning son
Come on in out of the light
Come on in
Then you walk outside
and the sun shines from the right
and it makes it shining over there
Its like a part of you
that you're missing
but in front of you
it's just a shadow
over there
And all the pieces that seem
darker than the others
You've got this silhouette
that is unlike any other
The sun shines from the right side
leaves this shadow over there
do you miss me?
If I disappear
will you miss me?
Sometimes it feels like you disappear
you can't help it
its like you disappear
can't help it
it feels like you're not there
can't help it
you're talking and no one hears
can't help it
you feel like you disappear
can't help it
you're talking and you're not there
are you listening
are you listening
are you listening
will you miss me?
You look at them and you wonder
will you miss me
everyone looks at everyone
and wonders will you miss
why? why do you wonder
will they miss you?
You see you're here
Won't you see you're here
you do nothing but wonder
will they miss you
Because you're right here
And that shadow is just light
What you're missing is not
days turn into the night
Its you're here and it's alright
it's alright
it's alright
sometimes if she asks you
if you understand
when she asks you just
hold out your hand
when she asks you just say it's okay
just say that you're here
because they all wonder you know

we got lots of time
nobody gets to bed early
she's gonna stay up all night long
round here we stand up in the sunlight
on the darkness around our heads
that scream out its all...
I say its alright
its alright around here
I can hear you
I can see you
and its alright
its alright
see I was scared
I was alone
I did not know when I could return
but its alright
I'm not scared anymore and its alright
I'm not scared anymore
I'm not scared anymore
yeah its alright

Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel-Providence, RI 7/20/99

Where you gonna go when the rain comes?
Where you gonna go when
the sun don't shine no more?
And where you gonna go
when there's no-one?
Where you gonna go when
she's nowhere to be found?
And what you gonna do when we all go?
What you gonna do when
she won't take it anymore?
And where you gonna go
when the wind blows you away?
I was listening to the radio,
heard a song that I remember
from so long ago
I was listening to the radio,
it reminded me of you
I used to live down by the railroad,
I used to hear the trains go by all night
And so when I'm listening to the radio,
it reminds me of the railroad tracks and you
Watching as the ocean rolls
over San Francisco,
watching California slide into the sea
Was thinking about the way it feels
to be somewhere
listening to the radio with the ocean over me
I wanna ba-ba-ba-ba-ba,
I wanna sta-sta-sta-sta-sta,
I wanna na-na-na-na-na, close to you
I said "Where you wanna ba-ba-ba-ba-ba,
and you wanna sta-sta-sta-sta-sta,
and oh nobody out but you"
(I used to live in this warehouse
down by the ocean in Berkeley,
on fourth street across from the ink factory,
and third street was the railroad tracks,
and second street was second street
and first street was the ocean.
We used to live in this warehouse
that was three stories tall
just like a big chimney
that went up, up, up, up, up)
You could stare across into these bigs pools of
black liquid in the ink factory and wonder
what the smell was gonna do to
the things inside your head
And you could look the other way
at three o'clock in the morning
as the train went by
and wonder what the noise
was gonna do to the things inside your head
And you could look a little
further out into the ocean
and wonder what the ocean was gonna do
to the things inside your head
And you could stare out
across the sea and see
Japan and China and wonder
what the Japanese and Chinese
were gonna do to the things inside your head
And you could look across the bay
to San Francisco and see the city sliding
into the water and wonder
what being underwater was gonna do
to the things inside your head
And you could sit there playing guitar and
listening to the Beach Boys while you're
watching Twin Peaks on the television
and wonder what that was gonna do to
the things inside your head
And you could sit there thinking
about Brian Wilson lying in his bed
underneath the covers and wonder
what that was gonna do
the the things inside your head
And you can lie there, and you can lie there,
and you can think about
what that was gonna do and stop!

And I am sitting on a speaker
in Providence, Rhode Island
thinking about Brian Wilson, and wondering
what that's gonna do to
the things inside my head
And I ain't thinking about
the Japanese and Chinese
and whatever else is gonna do
to the things inside my head
And I am lying on the ground
in New York City
and that's the last thing you ever remember
Come on, come on, come on
The price you pay for your riches and fame,
is it all a strange game
cause you're a little insane?
The money that came and the public claim
Don't forget what you are
because you're a rock'n'roll star
You don't forget what you are,
you don't forget what you are
cause you're a rock'n'roll star

"Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye"
She said "Step right up,
we've got lions, we've got clowns"
She said "Step right up,
we've got the circus come to town"

Mountain Winery-Saratoga, CA 7/9/01

Twenty four seconds later
you roll over as if she isnt there
its not even half a minute later
but you cant see her
she isnt there
its 24 ticking hours
and shes waiting for you to call
twenty four screaming hours
it didnt mean anything at all
twenty four seconds later
you think about almost anything at all
people fade in people fade out
people call up people go out
people dont leave anything at all
twenty four hours later

twenty four seconds later
you roll over as if
she wasnt even there
twenty four seconds later
you roll over just like
your coming up for air
twenty four hours later
shes still waiting for your call
twenty four hours later
she disappears and she was
never there at all
we stand up for nothing round here
waiting for everything to come clear
we stand up for nothing round here
step out the front door
like a ghost into the fog
where no one notices the
contrast of white on white
but in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference
between wrong...
and...
right

Tradewinds-Seabright, NJ 7/19/99

We were living in this warehouse
me and david,
like on the water in Berkley.
Right near the train tracks
Across the street
from this Ink Factory.
And we were... I kept
thinking about quitting bands,
and he kept giving me
classified ads, with the
names of different bands and
making me call them up.
When I wrote this song,
Its was sort of about what it was like
to be in your middle 20s
and like not know where
the hell you were going to...
if all the things you've
been you dreaming about,
and all the things plans,
all the plans you made.
If they just gonna end up
coming to nothing, you know?.
If all the things that your parents told you,
and your teachers told you,
and every one else said to you,
if all that was
going to come to nothing...
Its funny now cuz sometimes we just
go from bus ride to hotel room,
and from hotel room to bus ride and
you end up at 4 in the morning,
sitting in some hotel room
thinking to your self,
and trying to figure out
if it still come to something,
or not, and then you
come out here at night....
and every bodys here...
cuz its kind of a
tough world sometimes,
things happen suddenly,
really bad things,
and then you come here,
and you find out...
that you are a rock n roll star,
so you step out that front door...

So you wanna be a rock n roll star,
well listen now to what I say,
just get an electric guitar,
and take some time and
learn how to play.
And in a week or two,
when your hairs just right,
and your pants are tight,
its gonna be alright,
and then its time to go down town,
where the agency won't let you down,
you sell your soul to a company,
just waiting there to
ell plastic ware,
in a week or two if
you hit the charts
all the girls will tear you apart.
So what you make of
your riches and fame
is it all a strange game
and a little insane.
The money the fame,
and all the public accliam
Well don't forget what you are,
cuz you're rock n roll star.
so don't forget... what you are,
a rock n roll star,
hey mama, I'm a rock n roll star
hey mama, hey mama, look at me,
I'm a rock n roll star...

Moore Theater-Seattle, WA 2/3/00

She walks out on fourth street,
out through the water,
out through the ocean...

...I walk along these hillsides
in the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight
fallin' down on me
See, I walk along these hillsides
in the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight
fallin' down on me
You see I walk along these hillsides
in the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight
fallin' down on me
And I walk along these hillsides
in the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the
moonlight fallin' down,
fallin' down, fallin' down,
baby don’t come undone
Moonlight, fallin' down, fallin' down,
baby don’t come undone
You’re not alone, you are not alone,
you are not alone, so don’t come undone
I am not alone, as long as
you are there at home,
so baby please don’t come undone
Cause I am not alone as long as
you are there at home,
so baby please don’t come undone
We will walk along these hillsides
in the summer 'neath the sunshine
We are feathered by the moonlight
fallin' down on us
And we will walk along these hillsides
in the summer 'neath the sunshine
We are feathered by the
moonlight fallin' down on us
We walk along these hillsides
in the summer 'neath the sunshine
We are feathered by the moonlight,
we are feathered by the moonlight
We will walk along these hillsides
in the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight,
we will rise up into the sun,
we will not come undone
I am not alone, I am not alone

Toledo Zoo-Toledo, OH 7/16/99

There's a piece of Maria
in every song that I sing
And the price of the memory is the
memory of the sorrow it brings
There is always one last light
to turn out and one last bell to ring
Yeah, the last one out of the
circus has to lock up everything
Or all the elephants will get out
and forget to remember
what you said
Oh and the ghosts of
the tilt-o-whirl
will linger inside of your head
And the Ferris wheel junkies will
spin there forever instead
When I see you, a blanket of
stars covers me in my bed
Well all the blue light reflections
that color my mind when I sleep
And all those lovesick rejections
that accompany the company I keep
And all these razor perceptions
that cut just a little too deep
Well I can bleed as well as anyone
but I need someone to help me sleep
So hey, Mrs Potter, don't go
Hey, Mrs Potter, I don't know
And hey, Mrs Potter, don't cry
Hey, Mrs Potter, I know why
And hey, Mrs Potter,
won't you talk to me?
Won't you talk to me?
Won't you talk to me?

Unknown Version of Round Here

round here somethings never change
round here we talk just like lions
but we sacrifice just like lambs
round here shes just
slipping through my hands
sleeping children better
run like the wind
ut of this lightning night
mommas little baby better
get herself in out of the lightning
she says its only in my head
she says shhhh but i know
its only in my head
she says sometimes
i think im dreaming
she says sometimes
i think youre wrong
she says sometimes
i feel like screaming
she says sometimes
it just feels so long
to get your attention
she says how come you
dont listen to me
she says how come you
just dont listen to me
you never listen to me
theres a girl on the
car in the parking lot
she says man hey just look at me
and just take a shot
she says cant you see me
she says hey cant you see me
cant you see my walls are crumbling down
cant you see my walls are tumbling down

Muziekcentrum Vredenburg-Utrecht, NL 12/1/97

Wait for you in Baton Rouge,
I'll miss you down in New Orleans
I'll wait for you while she slips in
something comfortable and I'll miss you
when I'm slipping in between
And if you wrap yourself in daffodils,
you know me, I will simply
wrap myself in pain
If you're the Queen of California baby,
I am the King of the Rain
If you're the Queen of California baby,
I am the King of the Rain
You're the Queen of California baby,
I am the King of the Rain
Get a blue sky,
stick it in your heart
And try to keep it there between the
things the love and
the things you lose
Get a green sky and
stuff it in your head
Turn the key that locks
it all away from me
And then you get a gray sky,
and you can't get it out of your head
I got this gray sky,
I can't get it out of my head
But I got a blue sky
right here in my heart,
got this blue sky
right here in my heart
If you're the Queen of California
If you're the Queen of California
If you're the Queen of California baby
And I need a blue sky,
I need a blue sky
I said "Baby, baby, baby,
oh come on, what's wrong?
It's a radiation vibe im groovin' on,
don't it make you wanna get some sun?
Shine on, shine on, shine on,
shine on, shine on, shine on
Baby, baby, baby, oh come on whats wrong?
It's a radiation vibe I'm groovin' on,
hey, don't it make you wanna get some sun?
Shine on, shine on, shine on,
shine on, shine on me"
Shhhhhh, shhhh...

I said "Goodnight Elizabeth, goodnight"
I said "Goodnight Elizabeth, goodnight
You're the Queen of California,
I am the King of the Rain
You're the Queen of California
You're the Queen of California
If you're the Queen of California baby,
I'm the King of the Rain

9:30 Club-Washington, DC 11/27/96

...She comes home out of the blue
She comes up out of the blue,
something she never used to do
She found herself involved with
a crack in the wall of her bedroom
When the pocket-watch stops,
she turns the hands backwards
Visualize the speed of light,
slip back into her vacuum,
slip back into her vacuum
One more time through the mill,
I'm just one more cheap fuckin' thrill...

9:30 Club-Washington, DC 10/28/99

This is one of those things
where my nose itches,
but I have this stuff on my nose,
and if I touch it I'll wipe it off.
and then I touch it with my gloves... paws.
and it got all this furry stuff,
and I don't know, I've never seen them play,
but I don't know how all those fools
in cats get by all day.
and this is a song about
you keep that organ up,
thats kinda cool, makes it intense.
This is kinda a song about
growing up in berkeley,
me and david, we used
to live in this warehouse,
Where are you?
OH, yeah there he is with the horns on,
we used to live in this warehouse together.
Just right on the edge of the bay on 4th street,
and 3rd street was this train track
that went by, it went by all day and all night,
and it was kinda cool.
2nd street was just a dirt road, and
1st street was the front edge road,
and then the bay.
and then san francisco and then
like Japan or something.
Its was like the edge of the earth,
the western left edge of america,
and we just hung out in
this warehouse we lived in.
and we, we did really ridiculous jobs by day,
well I think he worked in a
record store which is way cool,
and I worked in a ridiculous job
like busing dishes all day
and then we played in
rock n roll bands at night.
owww
and there was like a really key period
in our life in our mid 20s
we weren't really getting
fucked up alot any more
but we were still kinda curious
of what the hell we were
going to do with our lives.
Cuz after a while every one
gets their jobs and moves on,
and playing rock n roll can seem like a hobby,
instead of a dream, and you can start to feel
kinda stupid when your friends are
moving on with their lives, and you're not.
any ways, some point you wake up and
you open up the door and you look out
and you try and figure out, like is this it?
am I gonna be like somebody really cool?
or am I gonna a what I am, which isn't
particularly cool at all.
and your this kid with this huge potential,
and then you're this adult
with out any left at all,
and you wonder if like your parents
are going to be proud of you if they're not.
and uh, and one day you come to decision and
this song is about coming to decisions
This is about my decision,

Take your green sky, stick in your head,
try to keep there protected
from the out side air
and then you get a blue sky,
and you stick it in your heart
try and find the key
that locks it all away from me
and then you get a grey sky,
and you can't get it out of your head,
I got this grey this grey sky and
I can't get it out of my head
can't get it out of my head,
can't get it out of my head.
can't get it out of my head,
don't you wanna call me up on the telephone
and tell me whats wrong with you,
don't you wanna call me up when I'm all alone
don't you wanna tell me what I should do
You know I wanna sit right here,
I got nothing to do
hey why don't you just call me up and
talk about what we should do
Cuz I need a blue sky baby,
I need a blue sky baby,
I need a blue sky baby,
baby your a blue sky to me
She said baby, baby, baby
awww come on whats wrong,
its a radiation vibe I'm groovin on
don't it make you wanna get some sun.
shine on, shine on, shine on,
shine on, shine on, baby, baby, baby
awwwwww come on whats wrong,
its a radiation vibe I'm groovin on.
don't it make you wanna get some sun.
Shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on me.
shine on me. shine on me.
Ain't you gonna say nothin now baby?
Ain't you gonna say nothin now baby?
Haven't you got anything to say?
I don't wanna say nothin about it baby.
I want to say what we're doin is wrong.
I don't wanna say nothin now baby,
I just wanna do it over, and over,
I just wanna do it all, night, long.
I don't wanna say nothin now amy,
I don't wanna say nothin now amy,
I don't wanna say nothin now amy,
I just wanna hear you talk to me all night long.
Come on say you love me, come on say you do,
come on say you like the way I look at you.
come on say you love me, come on say you do,
come on say you love the way I look at you.
Don't look at me that way,
don't look at me that way,
don't look at me that way,
don't turn and walk away,
hey baby, I just need alittle blue sky today

Round here we stay up,
very, very, very, very late.
she says, I don't wanna talk about it baby.
she says, I don't wanna
talk about it all night long
she says, I don't wanna talk about it baby.
she says I just gotta go down inside me
and climb that wall...
I don't wanna talk about it amy,
I just wanna see you stay.
I don't say the same things
over, and over, and over again.
I just wanna do this my way.
I don't wanna talk about it amy,
I don't really know what to do,
I don't wanna talk about it amy,
I just wanted to say that I love you.

Woodstock Festival-Rome, NY 7/24/99

...Hey don't it seem like dreaming?
I came to see a million
How many people here, a million?
How many people here, a million?
"Do you think that you were dreamin'?"
I said "No"
She said "Did you think
that you were dreamin'?"
I said "No"
She said "Did you think
that you were dreamin'?"
I said "Sometimes I don't know..."
So what d'ya make of all
riches and stains?
Is it all a strange game?
Are you little insane?
Are you a little insane?
All the money that came
and all the public acclaim
So don't forget what you are
because you're a rock'n'roll star
She said "Just don't
forget what you are"
Hey man, I'm a rock'n'roll star
Hey mom, I'm a rock'n'roll star

She said "I was out on the radio,
starting to change,
somewhere out in America
it's starting to rain,
could you tell me one thing
you remember about me?"
Cause I was out on the radio,
starting to change,
somewhere out in America
it's starting to rain,
could you tell me one thing
you remember about me?
Could you tell me one thing?
Could you tell me one thing?
Could you tell me one thing
that you will remember about me?
