Better Than Ezra Deluxe Lyrics
1.This Time of Year

Well there's a feelin' in the air
Just like a Friday afternoon
Yeah you can go there if you want
Though it fades too soon
So go on, let it be
If there's a feelin' coming over me
Seems like it's always understood this time of year

Well I know there's a reason to change
Well I know there's a time for us
Think about the good times and you live with all the bad
You can feel it in the air
Feelin' right this time of year

Well there's a football in the air
Across the leaf-blown field
Yeah, and there's your first car on the road
And the girl you steal
So go on, if you fell
If there's a feelin' that there's somethin' else
Seems like it's always understood this time of year

Well I know there's a reason to change (this time of year)
Yeah I know there's a time for us (this time of year)
Think about the good times but you live with all the bad (this
time of year)
You can feel it in the air
Feelin' right this time of year

Well there's a feelin' in the air
Just like a Friday afternoon
Yeah you can go there if you want
Thought it fades too soon
So go on, let it be
If there's a feelin' comin' over me
Seems like it's always understood this time of year

Well I know there's a reason to change (this time of year)
Yeah I know there's a time for us (this time of year)
Ya think about the good times, and you live with all the bad
(this time of year)
You can feel it in the air
Feel it in the air
Yeah I can feel it in the air
Well I can feel it in the air
Yeah you can feel it in the air
Feelin' right this time of year


2.Cry In The Sun

You clean out your room, and under your bed
Lay a picture long forgotten
With a hand to your head, you sigh out loud
As the memory rushes over - and buries you

Summer rain-storm, but the shed was dry
With a girl from Carolina
And you held her so tight
For the warmth that the rain denied
As the time has slowed to a flash
So alive, listen to them when they say

Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wine
If you cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom...yeah

We danced and sang out
and traced the moon
as it crawled across the night sky
And covered in dew, a lovers' pact
'Well heres to now and don't look back'
And oh, how I've tried
to heed the words written here

Cry in the sun
Where the devil beats his wine
If you cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom..ooh yeah

For everyone, yeah
if there's a person, place, or time
That brings you back and makes you feel alive
Before your reason clouds your eyes
Well you could rule the world if you wanted to...yeah

Well I hear you're livin' far away
And that life's treated you well
You know that we were young and this picture's old
But I still can hear you say
through the pounding of the rain-
And oh, if you try
Tell me, can you hear them say-

Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wine
If you cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom
Hope I never see the price of my freedom

Ooh yeah


3.Rosealia

Where have you gone, my Rosealia
Into the crowd, he'll never find 'ya
If you walk real fast, and you stay down low
So many times, so many chances
This one could be your last

You say no no no, the fighting has left you tired
You say no no no, but the fighting goes on

Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia

What has he done, my senorita
His kind of love is gonna kill 'ya
Do 'ya fake a smile, when you dodge the blows?
So many times, so many chances
This one could be your last

You say no no no, the fighting has left you tired
You say no no no, but the hurting goes on

Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia

Jealousy - can rip your heart out
and Jealousy - can turn a hand into a fist--

You say no no no, the fighting has left you tired
You say no no no, but the fighting goes on

Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia

Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
hay hay
Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
My Rosealia
My Rosealia

Rosealeh Rosealia
Rosealeh Rosealia
Rosealeh Rosealia


4.In the Blood

Can you be so warm
Can you know what I feel
Well, it's the way you move your hands
And it's the way you understand

And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I want to know (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I..

Can you throw away
Everything you live for
Well it's the way we shake and sway (aawwhhh)
And it's the passion that you play

And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I want to know (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I..

Too many lost
Links in a chain passed down through the years
Through the years, but ending here if we just face the pain
And the fear

Did you love before
Didn't they love before you (for you, for you)
But it's the way you move your hands (aawwhhh)
And it's the way you understand

And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I want to know (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I..

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la (lalalalalala)

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la


5.Teenager

Listen to them fight
Hear your mother cry
Weekend at your dad's
They don't know what they do to you

Teenager - Teenager

Wrap yourself in black
Listen to The Cure
'Love-line' won't call back
They don't know, they don't care, they don't see, but I do

And if it feels good, do it
'cause if it tastes fine, then drink
There's a range of possibilities to find

Teenager - Teenager

No-one knows your name
No-one hears your cry
(Fallen/Fall in) with the (friends/fringe?)
'cause they know what you're going through..they do

And if it feels good, do it
And if it tastes fine, then drink
There's a range of possibilities to find

Teenager - Teenager

No-one's wrong, no-one's right
It comes down on you
I have found the light - inside mine

Hear your mother cry
Fade into the night
When they ask you why
They won't know, they won't feel, they won't see
But you will

And if it feels good, do it
'cause if it tastes fine, then drink
Well there's a range of possibilities to find

Well if it feels good, do it
'cause if it tastes fine, then drink
Well there's a range of possibilities to find

Teenager - Teenager


6.Heaven

Will you fight for the cause
Can you teach the savage mind - their ways are wrong
Help them see, what they want and what they need
And if we have to twist their arms
They know not what they do is wrong

And if you said I would go to heaven
Now maybe I'll try
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now maybe I'll, maybe I'll, maybe I'll try

Heretics and hypocrites
wear the same face through the years
Of telling lies and laying blame
Damn the fire to feed the flame
I'll dance I'll sing
I'll try to fade their images planted in your head

And if you said I would go to heaven
Now maybe I'll try
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now maybe I'll try

Ivy is just a dog
With a heart that's noble as the greatest man who ever lived
Won't you please help her learn
That if we have to twist her arms
She knows not what she does is wrong

And if you said I would go to heaven
Now maybe I'll try
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now maybe I'll try
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now maybe I'll try
And if you said I would be a rich man
Now maybe I'll, maybe I'll, maybe I'll try
Maybe I'll try
Maybe I'll try
Maybe I'll try


7.Good

Lookin' around the house
Hidden behind the window and the door
Searchin' for signs of life but there's nobody home

Well maybe I'm just too sure
Or maybe I'm just too frightened by the sound of it
Pieces of note fall down but the letter said (wahow)

It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good (awwawawa, wahow)
It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good (awwawawa)
Good, good, good, good, good, good

Sittin' around the house
Watchin' the sun trace shadows on the floor
Searchin' for signs of life but there's nobody home
Well, maybe I'll call or I'll write you a letter
Now maybe we'll see on the fourth of July
But I'm not too sure, and I'm not too proud
Well I'm not too sure and I'm not too proud to say (wahow)

It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good (awwawawa, wahow)
It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good...awhh, huuuh...so good.

Awh, wahow
It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good (awwawawa, wahow)
It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good (awwawawa, awwawawanh)

Yeah you were so good
yeah you were so good
Yeah....that's right! (really high pitched, low volume, squeaky
voice)


8.Southern Gurl

There she is, white light
Descending like the color of rain
July or Fall
One thing will never change
Down and out, you were found
This city has you on your back
You long - for her - to take you away, and..

I, I want a Southern gurl
I need a Southern gurl
I want a Southern gurl

Scent - a pine drifting by
Her hand traces lazy on your neck
Sunlight through the trees, recalls a better time,
Kids and dogs running by
She smiles as she drinks iced-tea
Retire to the room
It's easy to see that..

I, I want a Southern gurl
I need a Southern gurl
I want a Southern gurl

Heyay, yes I, I want a Southern gurl
I need a Southern gurl
I want a Southern gurl

Take back the night, claim your desire
Run 'til you crawl
In the morning you will find her there

Yes I, I want a Southern gurl
I need a Southern gurl
I want a Southern gurl

Heyay, yes I, I want a Southern gurl
I need a Southern gurl
I want a Southern gurl

Hey hey...la la la la, hey
I want a Southern gurl


9.Porcelain

Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
showin' your face around here
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
to dredge up all my fears
Well I wish I could shake some sense into you
And walk out the door

But your skin is like porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain

Just the other day I felt - I had you by a string
Just the other day I felt - we could be everything
But now when I see you, you're somebody else
With somebody's eyes

And your skin is like porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain

I don't know what I'm sayin'
Well, I don't know if you're there
In the words you are fadin
Do you even care-- yeah

Well I wish I could kill you, savor the sight
Get into my car, drive into the night
Then lie as I scream to the heavens above
That I was the last one you ever loved

(skin is like)
Porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
Yeah


10.Summerhouse

Down by the dock, hot blood in the sun
The body lays up against the weeds
The locals said the man had it comin'
And it's time someone put him six feet in the ground

Where did she go that night
Where did she sleep when the morning came
To the summerhouse (cha!)

Mrs. showed up to ID the body
Then shed a tear, as she hid a smile
The sergeant laughed and smiled in frustration
One life is lost, while another one is found

Where did she go that night
Where did she sleep when the morning came
To the summerhouse
To the summerhouse (cha!) (cha!)

Where did she go that night
Where did she sleep when the morning came
When the morning came
When the morning came
To the summerhouse


11.The Killer Inside

Well, she believes
that I'd be better off without her
And she believes in me

Well, she believes that time can make things right, yeah
And I wanna believe there's been a change in me

And I-- hope that she believes
Yes I-- wonder if she sees the killer inside me

The lights go down, and the clouds are building outside
You close the door and turn the key
But there's no place to hide

And I-- hope that she believes
Yes I-- wonder if she sees the killer inside me
And I-- hope that she believes
Yes I-- wonder if she sees the killer inside me
The killer inside me
The killer inside me
The killer inside...yeaaah


12.Coyote

Heading out, you heart beating in your head
Riding of the Texas wind
Raise your feet as you cross the state line

Waking up, the Mesa sun and the sky
All the way to Tucumcari
and Santa Fe seems a stone's throw away, yeah

Coyote!
Coyote!

Coming down, the Phoenix sun on your face
Turns it to red by the afternoon
And to the right, the Grand Canyon is wide
Sing along, the needle skips in the wind
Count the stars of Death Valley
And in the dark, Barstow starts to fade

Coyote!
Coyote!
YEAH!!!


13.Hidden Track

Der pork and beans with sauerkrauten
De purk und beans mit sauerkrauten
Streetside Jesus! Save a soul for a nickel and a dime!
Streetside Jesus! Save a soul, feel mighty fine
Streetside Jesus..save a soul, li'l precious child
Streetside Jesus..save a soul
Huh!! Ne-heh!

And i
I want a southern girl
I need a southern girl
Well, i want a southern girl

Run 'till you crawl

And i

Well, i want a southern girl
