lyrics

song 1: KATIE ANNA PERRY:

Katie Anna Perry,
locked within the city,
the walls came down around her,
the walls came down around her.

Katie Anna Perry,
always in a hurry,
her mother didn't know her,
she was so very pretty.

and oh, i know i've lost her.
and i know it doesn't cross her
mind, cause love always surrounds her,
but i'm so glad i found her.

Katie Anna Perry,
New Orleans without me,
Kentucky made her crazy,
and so did i, i'm sorry.

Katie Anna Perry,
her answer always "maybe",
we couldn't be together,
but she said she'd have my babies.

and i can't breathe without her,
and all my dreams are about her,
sometimes can't stand to be around her,
but i'm so glad i found her.

the walls came down around her
the walls came down around her
the walls came down around her
the walls came walls came down around her
walls came down around her
walls came down around her
walls came down
around her
the walls came down around her
around her
around her
walls came down.



song 2: BABEEZ ONLY!

we live for eachother
inside every day
and we forget the other
who keeps us asleep
when really we know we are awake

and we long for a baby
who lives in our minds
and we're told that maybe
somewhere in this life
we'll get it right.

but our footsteps are running
all over the place
and my arms they are empty
and so is the kiss on my face.

and i'm Lonely,
and i'm scared,
that the future, it doesn't hold
what i want to be there.

and i'm sorry
for my words,
i wish i didn't even know
how to hurt.

but i do!
and i did!
and it's almost over..
the time when we've been together,
i fear.

one thing is clear:
you are not here.
it's ok
it's ok
cause you can't take it away
what keeps me awake
and what makes me stay
and what brought me to this place

you can't take it away
its inside
and it lives through your lies
and your deaths and my fights

and i've never been lonely cause i've never been alone
though sometimes it feels like it
when i'm all at home
by the phone
waiting for someone to make me my own.

and really it's silly
cause i'm sitting
with a Dilly
and a mitten
in my spot
in my open
world is off
can is frozen
life is chosen for the people
who deserve it, here is the steeple
here is the church and all who are in it
hopin' they're gettin to the finish line
with something extra before them
a little package that they have saved
and scrimped to be here with them
at this moment
so they don't feel so alone!
so they don't feel so alone

so they feel at home
anywhere they can raise their hands in prayer,
they don't feel alone in their hearts
when they're takin it apart,
it doesn't seem so dark!
it doesn't seem so dark.

love comes from all kinds of places'
and from all kinds of faces
come the words of love,
but it don't mean that they will give you love.
they might not give you love.

but they can't take it away
it's ok it's ok
they can't take it away
it's ok it's ok
no one can take it away
till i say.
it's my love, ok?
can't take it away
not today,
not today.
