Wallflowers Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Heroes

Lyrics:David Bowie

I...I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
We can be heroes, just for one day

I...I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing, nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I...I remember
Standing, by the wall
And guns, shot above our heads
And we kissed. as though nothing could fall
And the shame, was on the other side
We can beat them, forever and ever
We can be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day


2.Used To Be Lucky

Lyrics:Jakob Dylan

Now mine is a sunshine kind of valentine,
But sometimes I don't feel worth a dime,
But it used to be different before I'd been where I'd been.
Now you got a heart so you know how it feels
When you can't move at the top of the Ferris Wheel.
But I used to keep trying, but it always felt like I was dying.

CHORUS:
Sad, sad, everything has gone bad,
In the dreams I've had, they all laugh at what I have,
Oh no, tell me it ain't true,
When I'm awake I'm still me, man I wish I could once be you.
Now I used to be lucky
'Til I spent some time with me.

Now if losing is amusing man get a load of me,
You see me falling in love with a guillotine
But it used to be funny to think you would think of me.
I wish I could just take all my things and leave,
But I'm falling down in the wheels of this machine,
But it used to be something to be nowhere to nothing.


3.Skinny Lips

Lyrics:Jakob Dylan

Well, there goes Sally
My old lady
She gone crazy drawin' lines on her face
And you know I got a feelin'
That Sally been a-stealin'
Cause I was hipped to this
That you don't trust skinny lips.

Sally got a good heart
Raised on a churchyard
But it ain't never far from the backyard
To the boulevard
Cemetery girls ain't fun
They ain't sweet like sugar plums
She wasn't always like this, but she did have skinny lips.

CHORUS:
Well, I don't believe it
She don't, she don't need it from me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Now I seen her on the weekends
My little rose garden
I say hello to all her friends
And the gentlemen
Now I heard it from a junkie
That my old lady
Wasn't mine, but everyone's skinny lips.


Come on, come on, come on, I need a witness
Man, it shouldn't be like this
Cause you know you won't be the pill
That makes me feel that I'm the best
Come on, come on Skinny Lips
Come on and give me just one kiss
Cause you know I've only got one wish
I wanna be in love with Skinny Lips.


4.Murder One By One

Lyrics:Jakob Dylan

Never thought that I knew too much
Always thought I knew enough
Why do you act so tough?
Well maybe I'm just losing my touch
And where do we go?
They keep us on the run
But how could we know?
We'd only just begun

But look what we've done
They knew it all along
That our chances were none
In murder one by one

And do you still have that dream
Where lovers play hide and seek?
Why would you find it,
Beneath the secrets that I keep?
So why do we lie
And keep it all inside
When love is implied
And the heart just goes denied?

And look what we've done
They knew it all along
They're in love with no one
They murder one by one

Tie you up with just one thread
And seal you in baby's breath
And beneath your chest is a heart that needs rest
But I won't let you fall
They keep us here in line
Like two paper dolls
Her little hand in mine

And look what we've done
They knew it all along
That our chances were none
In murder one by one


5.Halo

Lyrics:Jakob Dylan

Standing up above and looking below
I know you thought you seen a halo
Well, getting down below what I've shown
You'll see just what I've known

It's one more hour 'til day break
I know I've had all I can take
I heard a secret I can't shake
One wing and an *iron something*
Jumping *half* away

And I can't say there's
Nothing wrong here with me
With me, yeah
She's one step over
One mile older
Without me

Well, devil in a white suit talkin' to me
He says I got a heart full of *kerosene*
He says he keeps seein' me in the same dream
In the web of an old heart's string
That's breaking

Down on my knees at the oak tree
They brought these rabbits forth with me
Well, faith is the new symbol I've tied to me
Well, the tree outcried to me
Cut loose and set me free

And I can't say there's
Nothing wrong here with me
With me, yeah
She's one step over
One mile older
Without me
Without me

Standing up above and looking below
I know you thought you seen a halo
Well, getting down below what I've shown
You'll see just what I've known
A ring of fire and a rainbow

And I can't say there's
Nothing wrong here with me
With me, yeah
She's one step over
One mile older
Without me
Without me
ooh ooh, ooh ooh


6.Babybird

WALLFLOWERS
Babybird
come back home
Babybird
you were never really on your own

Now outside faces cry
With the tears of lonesome orphans
And behind every mask
is the face of another
Wherever you have been
wherever you took cover
No arms that pulled you in
could hold you like your mother

Babybird
come back home
Babybird
you were never really on your own

When all my colors fade
And my wings, they've turned to leather
I'll know the reasons why
God let me get older
When all my days are through
And I fly these hills no longer
I'll lay beneath the stars
And I'll watch you flying over

Babybird
come back home
Babybird
you were never really on your own

Babybird
come back home
Babybird
you will never be all alone


7.Empire Of My Mind

WALLFLOWERS

Well, there is trouble in my mind
There is dark
There's dark, and there is light.
I lay our hands over my eyes
As I look deep
Through valleys deep and wide
Across the border line
For the Empire in My Mind

You are the reason I don't sleep
You are the light
That's breaking through the leaves
You know how hard I try
To believe
I have something good inside
Over barricades I climb
For the Empire in My Mind.

I have no love somewhere in time
I've been lifted up
I've looked honor in the eyes
I have no reason; I have no rhyme
I cannot deny
There's a darkness that's inside
I am guilty by design
And now I realize
The temptation's made me blind
To the Empire in My Mind

There is no order
There is chaos
And there is crime
There is no one home tonight
In the Empire in My Mind

There is no distance that I don't see
I do have a will
No limit to my reach
I wish I would; I wish I might
See a line tonight
Separating wrong from right
Some are only born to try
And maybe that's the reason why
I am afraid someday I'll find
There is no Empire in My Mind

There is trouble in my life
There is trouble in my life
