In The Pursuit Of Leisure

Sugar Ray In The Pursuit Of Leisure Lyrics
1.Blues From A Gun

I want to watch the world cry
I couldn't open my eyes
I almost spoke but can't speak
Still being shelled all those lies
Blues from a gun
I'm not the only one
I've been fooled
They got me on the run
I've tried hard
Everything's been done
I've been fooled from blues from a gun

I start to watch the world crumble
I had to open my eyes
I start to run but I stumble
They stole the blue from the sky
Blues from a gun
I'm not the only one
I've been fooled
They got me on the run
I've tried hard
Everything's been done
I've been fooled from blues from a gun

Tears today in a way
Fears today won't go away
Blues from a gun
I'm not the only one
I've been fooled
They got me on the run
I've tried hard
Everything's been done
I've been fooled from blues from a gun

Whenever I turn around
I'm lost and I can't be found
Whenever I turn around
I'm lost and I can't be found
(Look at it fall)
All these graces flying in the end now
Look at it fall, look at it fall
All these graces flying in the end now
Look at it fall
Look at it fall
Look at it fall


2.In Through The Doggie Door

Well I just got back an hour ago
I don't know where I've been
Now I'm crawlin' across the kitchen floor
I don't know what I've seen
Well I feel so complicated
And our love is kinda jaded
Well I'm comin' through the doggy door again woo

Well there ain't no sence in comin' home
She knows where I've been
And it's another night out in the cold
One more time again
It's a hard time understandin'
You know you're so demanding
And I'm comin' through the doggy door again woo

I've got nothin' for ya
I've got nothin' for ya
I've got nothin' for ya baby
I've got nothin' for ya
I've got nothin' for ya

My life is complicated
Our love is kinda jaded
And I'm comin' through the doggy door
I'm runnin' through the doggy door
I'm fallin' through the doggy door again


3.She's Different

She was a crazy girl
She's from a different world and
I don't care
She cashed her check at 2
Her rent was overdue 'cause he's not there

Sing for me, sing for me
Show me the way
Sing for me, sing for me
'Cause you're goin' away

And if you're goin' away
I just don't know what to say
You're time was wasted
All you had to do was stay
Hey Mr. Officer
Please let me talk to her take her home
Sometimes it's hard to see
Impossibilities unknown

Sing for me, sing for me
Show me the way
Sing for me, sing for me
'Cause you're goin' away
'Cause if you're goin' away
I just don't know what to say
You're time was wasted
All you had to do was stay

Tear drops,tear fall from up the sky
(she's going away)
Tear drops,tear fall
(there's nothing to say) from up the sky
She's from a different world
(she's going away) from up the sky
She's not that kind of girl
She's leaving today
Sing for me,sing for me
Show me the way (show me the way)
Sing for me,sing for me
'Cause you're going away (going away)
And if you're going away

I just don't know what to say
Please show me the way (show me the way)
Sing for me,sing for me
'Cause you're going away (going away)


4.Whatever We Are

So hard sometimes
Gets so hard sometimes with you

Whatever we are we are
whatever we are
whatever we are
Whatever we are we are
whatever we are

Whatever we are we are
whatever we are
whatever we are
Whatever we are we are
whatever we are
Whatever

I TRY to show you somethin' you would understand
It's gettin' better all the time
But I never think you'd listen to a word I said
Whatever it is we are we are we are
And I said
Whatever we are we are
whatever we are
whatever we are
Whatever we are we are
whatever we are

Whatever we are we are
whatever we are
whatever we are
Whatever we are we are
whatever we are
Whatever

I don't know where to start
I don't know where to stop
It gets so crazy all the time
(wooh) But I just keep tryin'
Not to let you down
Whatever it is we are we are we are
And I said
It gets so hard sometimes
We always change our minds
It gets so hard sometimes with you (wooh)
OUR love is there to find
But it gets so hard sometimes
It gets so hard sometimes with you with you
(Oh pretty baby...you're the one)

Whatever we are we are
whatever we are
whatever we are
Whatever we are we are
whatever we are

Whatever we are we are
whatever we are
whatever we are
Whatever we are we are
whatever we are
Whatever
Whatever we are we are
whatever we are
Whatever we are we are
whatever we are


5.56 Hope Rd

There's a place without commotion down by the sea
Inside this ocean deep inside a dream
A universe of notion trying to be free
Sent into motion (yea yea yea yeah)
Someone fall in love with me
And someone fall in love
Faced praise for redemption in a perfect stage
Shown with emotion to get the feeling' right
Saw job position
We'd fly through the night for anyone to listen
Someone fall in love with me
And someone fall in love
Someone fall in love with me
And some fall in love

Someone fall in love with me
And someone fall in love
Someone fall in love with me
And some fall in love
Someone fall in love with me
And some fall in love


6.Photograph Of You

Where are ya goin'
I never heard you say goodbye
I know it's showin'
You tried your hardest not to cry
I took a photograph of you
The innocence of just we two
With his arm around you all your life
I think about you everyday

I wonder what he'd said
How he got inside your head
As I watch you walk away way up,
way up, way up

And now you're going
No time to stop and say I tried
Too easy knowing
How hard your leaving feels inside
I saw the photograph of you
The innocence of just we two
With his arm around you all your life
I think about you everyday

I wonder what he'd said
How he got inside your head
As I watch you walk away way up,
way up, way up

There's no more time hangin' around
Talking to you
I know this loss can't be found
What can I do?
What can I do?

I took a photograph of you
The innocence of just we two
With his arm around you all your life
(think about you everyday)

Way up, way up, way up.


7.Can't Start

There's a really nice flow in the air tonight
If I don't look down I feel alright
Back to a time when it was so right with you
Seems so good on the night we met
I tried so hard but I can't forget
So right so wrong with you

And God I can't start lovin' you
(I can't start lovin' you baby)
No one got me over you
(I can't start missin you baby)
I just can't stop lovin' you
(Don't wanna start lovin' you baby)
Even though you want, you want me too
(I can't start lovin' you baby)
Tommorow tommorow for you

Lost all night on the 405
Rear view mirror I saw your eyes
What's on the radio was you
Here the talk from all the friends
I know why so don't pretend
We could ever be that way again

And God I can't start lovin' you
(I can't start lovin' you baby)
No one got me over you
(I can't start missin you baby)
I just can't stop lovin' you
(Don't wanna start lovin' you baby)
Even though you want, you want me too
(I can't start lovin' you baby)
Tommorow tommorow for you

I watch the time movin' half way around the world
I watch the time movin in the sky
I watch the time watch the time movin'
But somehow I remember, I remember
dodoodoo..
Girl I can't stop lovin' you
Even though you want me to

And God I can't start lovin' you
(I can't start lovin' you baby)
No one got me over you
(I can't start missin you baby)
I just can't stop lovin' you
(Don't wanna start lovin' you baby)
Even though you want, you want me too
(I can't start lovin' you baby)
Even though you want, you want me too
I can't stop lovin' you baby
Tommorow tommorow for you
Tommorow tommorow for you

9.Bring Me The Head Of...

Al-right prey tell
I'm in the mood for laughter
We are filled with food & fine spirits
Bring me my idiot
Oh idiot do make us laugh
Does anybody remember laughter?
(Hahahaha...)


10.Heaven

Surrounded by broken hearts
Promises are torn apart
Everybody looking for someone in the dark

Got lost on my own
Tongue tied on the phone
Everywhere I look there's a face in a place called home

Feelin' all alone in the middle of the night
Feelin' all alone when nothin' works out right
Woohoh
Lyin' all alone in the middle of the night
Lyin' in a dream now everything's alright
Woohoh
Don't you know I'm in heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found you
Heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found heaven

Surrender to a broken heart
Beat down from the start
If you think it's over baby let me know

But it's easier than it seems
Find yourself in a dream
(now I found you)
If you wanna go there baby just say so

Feelin' all alone in the middle of the night
Feelin' all alone when nothin' works out right
Woohoh
Lyin' all alone in the middle of the night
Lyin' in a dream now everything's alright
Woohoh
Don't you know I'm in heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found you
Heaven
Feet never touch the ground now I found heaven
Heaven


11.Is She Really Going Out With Him?

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street,
From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold
Look over there!(Where?)
There's a lady that i used to know
She's married now,
or engaged,or something, so i am told

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,
There's something going wrong around here

Tonight's the night
where I go to all the parties down my street,
I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth
Look over there!(Where?)
Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend
They say that looks don't count for much
If so, goes your proof

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,
There's something going wrong around here

But if looks could kill,
There's a man there who's marked down as dead
Cause I've had my fill
Listen you, take your hands off her head
I get so mean around this scene

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,
There's something going wrong around here


12.Chasin' You Around

I woke up late again this morning
It's just another morning, lying there for me
In your mind you're always runnin'
Keep on runnin' ,run away from me

I've spent all my time
Chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I've spent all my time
Chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure

Said you'd stay and make it better
We'd stay together, it's what you said to me
But you left without a warning
And now another morning is lying there for me

I've spent all my time
Chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I've spent all my time
Chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure

And every time that I try to get to you
There's nothing I can say
We try but seems there's nothing left to do
But I'll wait anyway

I've spent all my time
Chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I've spent all my time
Chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure

I know I know I know
Whatever it takes now
I'll make no mistakes now
Whatever it takes now
I know I know I know
Whatever it takes
I'll make no mistakes now
Whatever it takes now
I've spent all my time
Chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I've spent all my time
Chasin' you around
It's that way now I found out for sure
I've spent all my time
Chasin' you around

I've spent all my time
Chasin' you around
