Soul Asylum : Standing in the Doorway
Las palabras
1. STANDING IN THE DOORWAY
Standing in the doorway
Wonderin' if it's safe to go outside
Wonderin' if I'll come back
Wonderin' if I might just drift out with the rising tide
Sitting and waiting and hoping to find
Something you're good at to use up your time
To crawl from the ocean and lie on the shore
A moonbeam that rests on the dust on your floor
I'm not going out there
Don't try to tell me I'm paranoid
Wouldn't say I'm not scared
Though it may be safe to say that I am annoyed
In the intersection traffic lights are red in all directions
Everyone breaks the law sometimes
We all break down have foolish pride and beg for some affection
I can't say I know how you feel everyone seems to know
How you should, I would if I could help you remember
What it's like to feel good
Chitter and chatter and everything matters
I ask how you're feeling
And you just act shattered
Asleep on the couch with your eyes open wide
Standing in the doorway
Waiting as you come and as you leave
You say get out of my way
Won't you stop and talk about the hectic life you lead
They're all going somewhere
They all have some place they have to be
Maybe I should join them
I wish I could I think I have to stay here with me
It brings a tear to your eye to get out into the open
I can't believe I see myself
Coming into focus
2. JAMES AT 16 (HEAVY MEDLEY) (LIVE)
Black nights, stormy days
No hope
No hope's left inside
Don't fear, for he's coming
Don't die without knowing
The cross
Ghettos on the left of me
Flowers on the right
There'll be bread for all of us
If we could just bear
The cross
We've all got to rise above
With the help of the one we love
Pregnant mother she needs all
When he brings ya'll
The cross
The cross
Something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Tellin' me I'd better beware
It's time to stop hey what's that sound everybody look what's goin'
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, man it’s gonna take you away
Stop, hey what's that sound, everybody look what's goin' down
Stop children, what's that sound, everybody look what's goin' down
Here he comes now, he's all dressed in black
Patent leather shoes and a- an a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I say now, I'm waiting for my man
Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown
Hey, white boy, you're messin' our women around
Oh, pardon me sir, it slips my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I say now, I'm waiting for my man
Birth, school, work, death
Birth, school, work, death
Your kiss/(sweat) so sweet
Your sweat/(kiss) so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
I'm kissing you goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Once I was a boogie singer
Playing in a rock and roll band
Things were getting freaky
Then she tried to understand
As we were dancing and singing
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music
Never before have I turned on you
You looked too good to me
Shake your tail feathers in my face
And there's no tellin' what I'll do
Well looky here, you sweet young thing
The magic's in my hands
When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock and roll band
It's a free-for-all
Here we go
Yeah, it's a free-for-all
Jack and Jill went up the hill to have a bit of fun
Stupid Jill forgot the pill and now they’ve got a son
Oops Upside Your Head, Say Oops Upside Your Head
Oops Upside Your Head, Say Oops Upside Your Head
I was all caught up in this traffic jam
Tryin' to get back to my baby again
Don’t fool me baby, that’s who I am
I'm gonna teach you how to body slam
Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Everybody kicking you down, everybody shakin'
Stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell (whoa)
Everybody get on the floor do a little dance, dance, dance
Do the things that you wanna do
Take a little chance, chance, chance
Birth, school, work, death
Birth, school, work, death (Eagles, Eagles)
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin, it's so brown
I'd like to sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a million stars all around
I got a peaceful easy feeling
I know you won't let me down
Cause I'm already standin' on the ground
(Dan: One more time)
I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
She can take you anywhere
You don't know already how to go
And I got a peaceful easy feeling
I know you won't let me down
Cause I'm already standing (One more time)
Yes, I'm already standing (One more time)
Yes, I'm already standing
On the ground
