The Chills

I've woken to a state of control
I know the script I play my role
Where dreams belong to yesterday
The filmis taped just watch it play
The bigscreen lights have drawn us near
It's flashing brights have brought me here
Everything have gone so fast
But here I am, oh fame at last
I've got the chills
They've got the pills
Make the grooves
I’ll do the moves
Got the power
Of the hour
I've got the fame
Got no shame
Cause I dreamed to be who they talk about
Once you're in you can't get out
I seethe world through the bigscreen lights
See youon the stage tonight
There's nothing much I can do
We fought so hard but never knew
The gamewas fixed long ago
We're only puppets of the show
And I excuse my hunt for fame
"You've got to win to end the game"
But I'm addicted to the shows
And every day my hunger grows
I've got the chills....
They warned me: "it's a dirty affair
They run your life they cut your hair
Your last resort is to go on
They keep you up, but kill the fun"
The bigscreen lights have drawn us near
It's flashing brights have lead me here
Everything have gone so fast
But here I am oh fame at last

I roam the streetsof used to be
Nevermind me I onlywish to be free
Traded a drink withsome of my class
Lost the rest by theend of the glass
I need the cash topay for my gear
Let's get goinglet's get outta here
Cause I'm trashy
Real classy
I'm crashing on the'will be gone'
Neverminding me
I hit the road whenlife is shit
Need to get on andbe away with it
I played the keysnow I play the cards
Teaching you not toplay with my heart
Cause I'm trashy
Real classy
I'm crashing on the'will be gone'
Neverminding me
I'm trashy
Real classy
I'm crashing on the'will be gone'
Neverminding me
Don't ask me to stay
Cause I live for thego
Don't ask me tocare,
Do you care for me -no
I'm playing my cards
And I'll never fold
Baby don't call
I've got Jesus onhold
I'm trashy
Real classy
I'm crashing on the'will be gone'
Never-
Neverminding me

Baby Gone Wild
02:37
|
|||
there's this girl I used to know
but our ways have parted long ago
she's a wild girl in a little black dress
and her eyes are saying she couldn't care less
she sold the devil a part of her soul
and she dropped her books to go rock'n'roll
she says 'every boy in the world could be mine'
and she's killing them - killing them - one at a time
oh she's on her way - can't say where
but she's going on - because baby doesn't care
Baby gone wild
a quiet girl she used to be
till she exploded and her beast broke free
and she took off and left her world behind
like the wind she's always changing her mind
don't try to tell her what to do
no don't bother her and she won't bother you
'cause 'every boy in the world could be mine'
and she's killing them - killing them - one at a time
oh she's on her way - can't say where
but she's going on - because baby doesn't care
Baby gone wild
oh Baby oh Baby
used to be her mama's child but Baby's...
oh she's on her way - can't say where
but she's going on - because baby doesn't care
she'll give anything a whirl
she aint nobody's girl
used to be her mama's child but Baby's...
Baby gone wild!
Baby gone wild!
Baby gone wild!
Baby gone wild!
- oh Baby

When You Realize
02:47

I was just a child
always running wild
I had everything
the world was mine
and I was just a dreamer
always dreaming on
never knew what hit
till life begun
wuhuhu...
I've been so naïve
believing I could fly
every chance I took
would get me high
but once you hesitate
thinking 'is it safe?'
you begin to sober
learn to behave
wuhuhu wuhuhu
what do you want to now?
time is yours say
wuhuhu wuhuhu
what do you want to now?
because when you realize
dreams may not suffice
and there's more to life
than what you want say
wuhuhu wuhuhu
what do you want to now?
Yeah what do you want to!

Dearest Child
05:00

Dearest child, I love your smile
Unveiling how you feel
It tells me more than any thousand words
For I know your smile is real
You are so young and so naive
As from an unknown never-land
What they tell you, you'll believe
Because you don't understand
That the world is a mess
With lies and greed
Money and succes
Is all you need
If you wanna be a big boy
You’ve gotta cheat
Hey little girl take a look at the world
And tell me what you see
That's what you'll grow up to be
No, life is not a fairytale
Where every dream come true
But it's yours to write - so write it well
'Cause the future world is you
If you stay young, if you're naive
And if you don't play the game
You are never to achieve
Anything but blame
Cause the world is a mess
With lies and greed
Money and success
Is all you need
If you wanna be a bigshot
You've gotta cheat
Hey little girl take a look at the world
And tell me what you see
That's what you'll grow up to be
Dadadadam - dadadaaa
Dadada - What will you grow up to be?
Yes, the world is a mess
With lies and greed
Money and success
Is all you need
If you wanna be a big boy
You’ve gotta cheat
But hey dearest child,
You shouldn't care what they say
Cause life is just a way
And it's your way
And the world you're gonna see
Is what you will let it be!
