Middle Of Nowhere

Thinking of You

Have you ever stood outside a picket fence

You could see through but you can't get to the inside

You sit there and wait

I look at you and anticipate

What we could be and what we could do

Fly the wings of an eagle

Glide along with the wind

No matter how high

I'll be thinking of you the whole time

Fly with wings of an eagle

Glide along with the wind

No matter how high

I'll be thinking of you the whole time

I'm carrying this heavy load

I don't know what to do

The only thing I know is that

I'm in love with you Oh

Fly the wings of an eagle

No matter how high

I'll be thinkin' of you

No matter how high

No matter how low

I'll be thinking of you

No matter what I do

No matter where I go

I'll be thinking of you

MMMBop

You have so many relationships in this life

Only one or two will last

You're going through all this pain and strife

Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast

And they're gone so fast

So hold on the ones who really care

In the end they'll be the only ones there

When you get old and start losing your hair

Can you tell me who will still care

Mmm bop, ba duba dop

Ba du bop, ba duba dop

Ba du

Mmm bop, ba duba dop

Ba du bop, Ba du dop

Ba du

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose

You can plant any one of those

Keep planting to find out which one grows

It's a secret no one knows

In an mmm bop they're gone.

In an mmm bop they're not there.

In an mmm bop they're gone.

In an mmm bop they're not there.

Until you lose your hair. But you don't care.

Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.

Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?

Can you tell me if it's going to be a daisy or a rose?

Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?

Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know

Weird

Isn't it weird. Isn't it strange.

Even though we're just two strangers on this runaway train

We're both trying to find a place in the sun

We've lived in the shadows, but doesn't everyone

Isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird sometimes

Isn't it hard. Standing in the rain.

You're on the verge of going crazy and your heart's in pain

No one can hear though you're screaming so loud

You feel all alone in a faceless crowd

Isn't it strange how we all get a little bit weird sometimes.

Sitting on the side. Waiting for a sign. Hoping that my luck will change.

Reaching for a hand that can understand, someone who feels the same.

When you live in a cookie cutter world being different is a sin.

So you don't stand out. And you don't fit in. Weird.

Sitting on the side. Waiting for a sign. Hoping that my luck will change.

Reaching for a hand that can understand, someone who feels the same.

When you live in a cookie cutter world if you're different you can't win.

So you don't stand out and you don't fit in. Weird.

Isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird

Strange, how we all get a little bit.

Strange, 'cause we're all just a little bit weird sometimes.

Speechless

Everybody wonders and some people know

I guess that I'm some people 'cause baby it shows

When will you do it? And why will you go?

If you've already decided then deliver the blow

The way you walk around me. The way you talk around me.

You act so speechless. You've got nothing to say.

The way you walk around me. The way you're talking to me.

Makes me wonder. If this was only play.

And I wonder will you still love me?

Do you still love me, like you did before.

Said come on baby you think I'm so blind

I see what you're doing behind my back all the time

I get suspicious when you call me someone else's name

You think I don't notice that nothing's the same...anymore

And I wonder will you still love me?

Did you ever love me, or were you playing with me before

Ohh baby you think I'm so blind

Ohh baby I'm not playing around this time

And I wonder will you still love me?

Did you ever love me, or are you showing me the door

Ohh baby you think I'm so blind

Ohh baby I'm not playing around this time

Where's The Love

Something's been going on and I don't know what it is

You don’t mind the taking girl, but you don’t know how to give

You drove me crazy but I don’t know baby

You’re thinking that it’s me you’re fooling

Where’s the right in, all our fighting?

Look at what you’re doing

Where’s the love

It’s not enough

It makes the world go ‘round and ‘round and…

Where’s the love

Give it up

It makes the world go ‘round and ‘round and ‘round

Can you tell me what you see whenever you look around?

We’re tripping all over ourselves and pulling each other down

We’re separating, consciousness is fading

Are you thinking that it’s me you’re fooling?

Where the right in, all our fighting?

Look at, look at, look at what we’re doing

(Repeat Chorus)

Dark clouds all around. lightening, rain pouring down

Waiting for the bright light to break through

Face down on the ground

Pick us up at the lost and found

We’ve got to change our point of view, if we want the sky blue

We’re segregating, consciences are fading

You’re thinking that it’s me you’re fooling

Where’s the right in, all our fighting

Look at what we’re doing

(Repeat Chorus)

Won’t you, won’t you give it up

Yearbook

Dear Amy, see you in September

Hope that you remember me next year

Hey Jamie, you’ve been a great friend to me

I hope that I’ll still see you around here

‘Cause I’m looking through the yearbook then I find that empty space

There’s a name without a picture, but I can’t forget his face

Tell me where did you go, I want to know

Where did Johnny go?

It says “Picture unavailable” right here

More than sad, it makes me mad, to know somebody knows

There’s a lying in your silence, tell me where did Johnny go?

Poor Katie, she won’t even speak his name

None of us will ever be the same

It’s quiet in the halls, but I hear echoing off the walls

The rumors of Johnny’s mystery

‘Cause I’m looking through the yearbook and I fond that empty space

No he never wrote me nothing, but I can’t forget his face

‘Cause I’m looking through the yearbook and I fond that empty space

No he never

(Repeat Chorus)

Ohhh. There’s a lying in you silence tell me where did Johnny go?

Sometimes I think I can hear him calling out my name

Sometimes I wonder if maybe we’re to blame

It’s been a year now and a lot of things have changed

But I keep thinking about Johnny, I keep turning to that page

Where did he go I want to know, Where did he go I want to know?

Ohhh. There’s a lying in you silence tell me where did Johnny go?

Look At You

Standing in the shadows wondering what I'm doing here

Wishing something would happen, maybe I could disappear

She walks in with that look in her eye

Somehow she doesn't even have to try

Just kick off your shoes, get on the floor

This is what we came here for

Oooooh, you've got to break it down

You've got to get it out

Just get on the floor

Everybody wonders when they look at you

Everybody wonders what you're gonna do

You got it all wrapped up you do

Everybody wonders when they look at, look at you

Look at you baby, look at you baby

In the middle of the dance floor lights shinin' in my face

Twistin', shoutin' there was no doubt people dancing all over the place

Out of the corner of my eye she said why don't you come and give it a try

Get on the floor, just kick off your shoes

You ain't got a thing to lose

Oooooh, you've got to break it down

It's time to get it out

Just get on the floor

Look at you, look at you baby

Ooooh, Whoooooa, Whoooooa, baby

Look at you, look at you baby

Ooooh, Whoooooa, Whoooooa, baby

I was standing in the shadows wondering what I'm doing here

Wishin' something would happen so that I could disappear

She breaks the silence with a move of her hips

You better hang on don't want to lose your grip

Kick off your shoes, get on the floor

This is what we're waiting for

Oooooh, you've got to break it down

You've got to get it out. Just get on the floor.

Lucy

The day that I left Lucy

A tear fell from her eye

Now I don't have nobody, and I was such a fool

On the day that I left Lucy.

The day that I left Lucy she cried, then said goodbye

Now it's done, and it's over, and I am all alone

On the day that I left Lucy

Now I don't have anymore songs to sing

'Cause you were everything, everything to me

I didn't realize I felt this way, until that day

Today I'm missing Lucy, and you say that she's OK, I hope she is.

Now I don't have nobody and no one will ever replace...

My Lucy

I love Lucy, Lucy...

On the day that I left Lucy...my Lucy

I Will Come To You

When you have no light to guide you

And no one to walk to walk beside you

I will come to you

Oh I will come to you

When the night is dark and stormy

You won't have to reach out for me

I will come to you

Oh I will come to you

Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days

And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way

Have no fear when your tears are fallin'

I will hear your spirit callin'

And I swear I'll be there come what may

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

'Cause even if we can't be together

We'll be friends now and forever

And I swear that I'll be there come what may

When the night is dark and stormy

You won't have to reach out for me

I will come to you

Oh I will come to you

We all need somebody we can turn to

Someone who'll always understand

So if you feel that your soul is dyin'

And you need the strength to keep tryin'

I'll reach out and take your hand

A Minute Without You

Well I woke up this morning

And the night had been so long

Seems that I had had my mind on you

Well the day, it has begun, and I can't get a minute,

Can't get a minute without you

Cause always on my mind, you're always in my head

And I can't live, I can't live another day without you

When the minutes seem like hours and the hours seem like days

Then a week goes by you know it takes my breath away

All the minutes in the world could never take your place

There's one-thousand-four-hundred-forty hours in my day

I've been trying to call you all day,

Cause I got so many things that I want to say

I'm going crazy, 'cause all my thoughts are filled with you

There's got to be some way I can get through to you ohh

I can't keep myself from thinking about you

It's because I love you, and I know that it's true, whoooa

I'll call it desperation, can't you see it in my eyes?

That I want be with you until the sun falls from the sky

Madeline

Out my window a memory

I'm dying inside

I know the way it should be

Even though it was right in front of me

It's something I just couldn't see

Your lonely face

Your lonely eyes

But this is something you can't disguise

It's not just me, you feel it too

'Cause you know I belong with you

Look at where we're going

Tell me what can I say

We're tracing our footsteps

We're going the same way

Madeline

Here we go around again

You know it, I know it, don't try to pretend

You know it could be so much better than it's been

Ooooh, here we go around again

I was empty inside but I just didn't know

You are my ten thousand roses and I let you go

Before I make the same mistake just hold me in your arms

We belong you know it in your heart

Look where we're going

No doubt in my mind

Can't you see it's meant to be

Oh, oh, oh...my

Here we go 'round again. Here we go. Here we go.

Here we go 'round again. Said here we go.

Here we go 'round again. Here we go. Here we go.

Here we go 'round again.

Look at where we're going

Tell me what can I say

We're tracing our footsteps

We're going the same way

Oh my...

Madeline, here we go 'round again

Oh, my Madeline

With you In Your Dreams

(Dedicated to the memory of our grandmother, Jane Nelson Lawyer)

If I'm gone when you wake up please don't cry

And if I'm gone when you wake up it's not goodbye

Don't look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress

Remember me, remember me, 'cause I'll be with you in your dreams

Hooo. Ohh I'll be with you.

If I'm gone when you wake up please don't cry.

And if I'm gone when you wake up don't ask why

Don't look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress

Remember me, remember me, cause I'll be with you in your dream, ohh, ohh

Don't cry I'm with you don't cry I'm by your side

And though my flesh is gone, Hoo Ohh

I'll still be with you at all times

And though my body is gone, Hoo Ohh

I'll be there to comfort you at all times

Hoo, ohh, hoo, ohh

I don't want you to cry and weep, Hoo Ohh

I want you to go on livin' your life

I'm not sleepin' an endless sleep, Hoo Ohh

Cause in your heart you all have good times

Hoo I'll be with you in your dreams

Man from Milwaukee

It started at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere

Sitting beside me was a man with no hair

From the look on his face and the size of his toes

He comes from a place that nobody knows

Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating

Letting this big-toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky

Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating

If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why

I've been sitting here too long by a man from Milwaukee

He's been talking too long on his yellow walkie talkie

He's been talking to Mars but I think he's wacky

He says they'll come get him, come get him some day

He says where he's from is called Albertane

There they use more than 10% of the brain

But you couldn't tell it from they way they behave

They run around in underwear and they never shave

Or maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating

Letting this big-toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky

Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating

If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why

This is Mother Bird calling Baby Bird

Baby Bird come in, come in Baby Bird For the love of Pete come in!

This is Baby Bird...sorry I was watching Court TV

Do you copy? Do you copy?

Of course we copy...24 hours a day...in color

You wouldn't believe me if I told you the rest

The man sitting by me who was barely dressed

Flew off to Milwaukee or perhaps Albertane

And left me at the bus stop just barely sane

I've been sitting here too long thinkin' about Milwaukee

I've been talking too long on my yellow walkie talkie

I'm talking to Mars you may think I'm wacky

I know they'll come get me, come get me someday

I know they'll come get me and take me away

I know they'll come get me, come get me someday

If not tomorrow then maybe today
